The TWENTY-SIXTH YEAR Number 133 G. O. P. Faction Opposed to Negro Delegates Captures Convention. Little Rock. Ark., April 27. Delegates from Arkansas to the Republican national convention in Chicago will go uninstructed and for the first time in thirty-two years there will be no Negro delegate-atlarge among the number. The so-called "lily white" faction of the party was in complete control of the state convention which met here and elected the national convention delegates. A motion that the delegates be instructed to support Col. Theodore Roosevelt for the presidential nomination received only a few votes on roll call, but Roosevelt's name was cheered loudly whenever it was mentioned. Birth of Nation Causes White Man to Kill Negro on Street Without Cause. Sows Projudice, Reaps Murder. Lafayette, Ind., April 24 After witnessing the picture, "The Birth of a Nation," at a local theater, Henry Brooks, who five weeks ago came here from Kentucky, walked out on the main street of the city and fired three bullets into the body of Edward Manson, a Negro high school student. The boy died in a hospital. Brock is in jail under a charge of murder. Manson was 15 years old. (We wonder if our Denver Judge knew he was playing with dynamite when he made his decision against the Negro. Shall we swallow or resent insults?) An ordinance providing for the segregation of white and Negro races in Oklahoma City. Okla., has been passed by the city commissioners. It provides that if 75 per cent of the occupants of a block are of one color no member of the other race will be permitted to buy or own property in that block. In the case of Frank A. Spence vs. W. H. Fenchler, the Texas Supreme Court has held that cities of the state cannot segregate prostitutes. house was intoxicated with feverish laughter. They were side splitters and weary chasers. Both men ought to team and go on the stage. A wonderful future await them. Go on boys you are there. On the whole chairman Tumlin needs to be congratulated in putting Centennial Lodge of Masons again on the map of Masonry. One or two of such Masonic demonstrations would cause Rocky Mountain to sit up and take notice. The Star congratulates the Masons on their large success. Mayors Speer and Sharpley Attend. Greet Grand Master Rector and Enjoy Musical Farce. McDaniel Sisters and Company Clean Up. Easter Monday night had been set aside for Centennial Lodge No. 4 of the Masons to give their annual entertainment. This year under the exceptional management of Edward Tumlin, as chairman and Frank C. Burnley and Caleb Allen as committeemen the entertainment was the grandest, the largest and best patronized event ever given by Centennial Lodge. The peculiar manner of advertising, the drawing program with the McDaniel Sisters as headliners together with the unyielding push and indomitable will of Edward Tumlin, in face of hard and trying circumstances calculated to discourage and defeat him, easily presaged that No.4 would have such a crowd as never before. The dream proved a reality, Even Morrison's Orchestra which accompained the show company was at its best and clearly showed that Eugene Montgomery the present temporary manager had performed his task well in bringing out the music. Say what you will or may but that Orchestra tickled the crowd Monday with its vim, dash and vigorous attacks exemplifying the lights and shades of the company's singing. Mayors Sharpley and Speer certainly enjoyed themselves and were specially looked after by Grand Master Rector, who introduced them to several of the Masonic brethern and others. Fully two thousand people attended the musical farce given by the McDaniel Sisters and company of local talent. The cast was funny and the story of the plot was laid "down home in Memphis Tenn." The McDaniel Sisters clearly showed themselves to be real fun makers and deserved all the applause they received, while as much can be said of Miss Pauline Holmes whose heavy applause brot her twice before the footlights. Claude Davis, as an Englishman filled his role of femininity with an expertness which is hard to beat, his English brogue brought much applause to him. Miss Mabel Taylor, Ed Jones and Lorenzo Lawrence were good in their characters evincing themselves with their fascinating charm and gracefulness. Geo Elkins (Midnight Swan) and Henry Oglesby (Tickle Britches) the best ever as comedians, were funny, yes, foolish of course, ridiculous and then some. They "threwed" one spasm of joy after the other until the DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, APRIL 29, 1916 MAYOR SPEER SWEEPS DENVER fore the cheering subsided as the physician concluded. Following is Dr. Wethérill's speech: "I am supporting Mr. Speer, first because I have known him a long time and have confidence in his integrity of purpose and honesty of intent to give Denver an economical and efficient business administration; second, because of his most unusual fitness and capacity for municipal government. He has studied civic and municipal problems at home and abroad, and knows what to do and how to do it. Men of All Races, Faiths and Walks of Life Unite to Elect Him. Everybody Testifies. IN TIMES LIKE THESE, GOD GIVE US MEN. When the Denver Star came out boldly and fearlessly for Robert W. Speer for Mayor and endorsed his charter Amendment, some people thought the action was ill timed and premature. His charter met our approval because it tended to make out of our chaotic affairs a real city government for all citizens. The Star said, "If you walk up the streets, the curbing cries out, Speer, Speer, the builder, while the long alleys behave in healthful sanitation; you chance down Cherry Creek Drive and the large arc lights arranged in long lines gently proclaim his handiwork, just as the flowered boulevards and sunken gardens sing his praises; you visit Cheesman Park and Inspiration Point murmurs silently Speer, Speer, the Inspirer, as one stands and deeply breathes Colorado's exhilirating ozone and casts his eyes westward, beholding nature's snow-capped mountains as they softly rival Denver's most scenic charms. During this ecstatic pleasure, beneath your feet, the rushing sewers and sanitary acquiducts are carefully speeding here and there, speaking their language in their own tongue with a Speerlike accent. The Street lamps light up Speer while the Auditorium stands out as a magnificent monument to him and even City Park will electrify you with the name of Speer in beautifully colored water. Thus cement, stone and iron have been so wrought by him as to become unconsciously and permanently interwoven in your very city life. So the story is narrated all over the city, North, South, East and West Denver, each part joins in and glorifies his triumph in making Denver clean and the city beautiful, as well as, proudly progressive. Therefore roll up your sleeves, drop your prejudices, line up for once and let everybody pull and help elect Mayor Speer. Play the game boldly and on the square." "The people have signified in signing the various petitions that they want a change in municipal government. It would be a great pity, if such a change is to be made, not to employ one of the best informed and most capable municipal experts in the United States, when he is living amongst us and is willing to serve us and take his pay in villification and abuse rather than the $25,000 a year he is easily worth to this community. "Denver would be an unattractive, insignificant and commonplace community but for the features Robert Speer has already given it. We owe to him every distinguishing attraction we possess, excepting the view of the mountains, he gave us places from which such views may best be had and boulevards upon which to travel from one inspiration point to another. Mayor Speer has never pledged his word and failed to keep it. Hon. Platt Rogers, former Denver Mayor said, "We cannot afford any more incompetents, the time has arrived to place the city government on a business basis. While I am only an acquaintance of long standing yet, I know that he is one whose word could be relied upon. The Rev David H. Fouse, pastor of the 1st Reformed church spoke for Mr. Robt. Speer and strongly declared himself in unqualified terms. He said he had not always been friends with the former mayor but had always admired his vast ability. He said Denver could get more good, spiritual good and material good, by having a strodg, vigorous man, with ability and visions at the head of the city government than any other" "We are indebted to him for the electric fountain, the beautiful children's fountain of Dusseldorf, the Auditorium the mountain parks and the civic center, and I should support him now to give him an opportunity to complete that best feature of our municipal beautification if for no other reason. "I shall support him, a Democrat, tho I am a life long Republican, because he is preeminently the man for the place, and because I believe he will give us a nonpartisan business administration, as he promises. George C. Sample, an old resident of 40 years in Denver said this, "I have been a life time Republican and am still standing on the platform of principle in national elections; however, hereafter in all of our municipal elections where good men for a good government are among the issues, I shall vote and use my influence for men who show their loyalty to the city and my race, not by words alone, but by works, whether they be Democrats or Republicans. I abhor these rebel democrats posing as Republicans because chances are better. I am for Speer, and ask no favors only an equal chance." Sunday afternoon, the labor unions of this city endorsed Speer in the following words. "I shall support him because he is highly honored in having acquired the undying enmity of those jesters who, expelled from other habitations, make this their yelling place. I love him for the enemies he has made. "Be it Resolved, By the Denver Trades and Labor assembly, in regular session assembled, that we indorse the proposition known as the 'Speer amendment,' and we especially, approve of section 33, encouraging local industries and the employment of home labor, a subject which has been overlooked by present and past city governments, as well as in the other two charter amendments now before the people." "I have no favors to ask of him and expect nothing from him that any other citizen of Denver may not share, but I confidently anticipate as a result of his election a period of unprecedented progress and prosperity for Denver which will make us all happy and proud that we live in Colorado. Furthermore, I believe he will find ways and means to perpetuate good and efficient government in this community for many years after he has retired. Speaking of the race's opportunity, O. T. Jackson of Dearfield, Colo. wrote that "my only request is that every Negro go down the line for Robt. W. Speer for he is the only Negroes' friend that I know in Denver as a big politican. His word is golden and his consideration for the masses is marvelous; he never forgets his friends and he knows no enemies." Dr. Wetherill a prominent physician who has been and is now a Republican in introducing Mayor Speer, on an occasion, told why he was supporting the former Mayor. His speech was direct, forcible and concise. During this speech the gathering broke frequently into tumults of applause and Dr. Wetherill was required to read one section of his speech over again. It was many minutes be- "We want a man who knows what should be done Follow the band. Spokit, staterman & Hal well History Society the Denver Star FIVE CENTS A COPY. Montclair White Citizens Organize to Shut Out Negro Citizens. Denver Next. Too Much Birth of Nation. Property owners and residents of Montclair have formed a protective association for the purpose of preventing the sale of real estate in that district to Negroes. Representatives of this organization are carrying on a vigorous campaign among mortgage holders and real estate agents in an effort to induce them to pledge themselves to make no sales of Montclair property to Negroes. Practically all the property owners and residents of the district are members of the organization, and many are taking an active personal interest in the movement by protesting to the real estate men. The "Birth of a Nation" has been excluded from Lansing, Mich., after three days' run. The governor hopes he may drive it from the state. The General Assembly has made an appropriation for the construction of a sanatorium for Negro consumptives in Virginia. An unusual picture is that of "East and West" by I. L. Gloag, which is hung in a public gallery in New Zealand. The painting is that of a beautiful nude figure of a Negro girl. and how to do it; a man who cannot be deflected from the path of duty by lies, abuse and caricatures; a man who can withstand the criticism and contumely of those visionary and spirituelle persons who are incapable of understanding him or appreciating him. "I like a man who can't be bulldozed, browbeaten, bought off or black mailed into doing what his judgment and conscience do not approve." Mrs. Robert Sloan, always a Republican worker in elections, speaking of the Nisbet insults, said "Rather than let my right hand scratch a vote for Nisbet, I would suffer it to be cut off." Swallow insults that he gave to me and the race that Monday afternoon! No!! Here is one woman in Denver who will try her utmost to send him into oblivion." The following business men will resent the insults of Nisbet by voting for Speer: Drs, P. D. Lee and E. L. Cantey of Elite Drug Co., A. A. Waller, manager and H. J. M. Brown, President of Colored American Loan and Realty Co., Joseph Carter, Coal and Wood Co., J. W. Hawthorn, tailor; T. O. Mason, barber; E. M. Neil, Pool and billlard hall; Emmet Williams and Berry Richardson, barbers and Henry Pinn, coal and wood co. and many private citizens whose names are too numerous. Church News CAMPBELL CHAPEL A. M.

He has been unswerving in his interest in the work of putting the church on an equal basis with other churches, despite the opposition and drawbacks which have confronted him. He is truly a Christian and worker for God. The lessons learned from his splendid sermons have made a lasting and deep impression on his hearers. &HORTER CHAPEL Washington and Twenty-third Sta REV.

Waldon and Fannie Brown; at 11:00 the pastor delivered an Easter sermon which was well received and in answer to the invitation one united with the church; and at 8 p. m. the choir rendered its annual song recital which was pronounced good and very good. Then followed the mortgage burning by Mesdames Brown, Hicks, McClain, Hall, Philips, Wade and Wims, and Messrs.

The morning program was one of the most delightful we have ever enjoyed and the huge audience gave inspiration to those who rendered it. The superintendent and corps of teachers are to be commended for their thoro drilling of the children. Especially were the primary and beginners' departments surprising to the audience. At the evening time the Young People's Union also rendered a pleasing hour of entertainment and instruction to those present. The success of the Union during the past year is a joy to the church. On the 24th, 25th and 26th of May the church auxiliaries are to hold a May Festival. Three evening programs in connection with a great bazaar are to give entertainment to the community.

The seating capacity of the association proved inadequate at the Easter vesper service, those who were not present missed an address that stirred the hearts of the listeners. Miss M. Francis Cross was the speaker of the afternoon and she told of the association's work in India and China so forcibly that every person there was thrilled with the desire to aid in its spreading the light to all the heathen countries. There was an excellent musical program rendered Sunday afternoon in addition to Miss McFrancis Cross' address. Mrs. O. W. Fifer, wife of the Rev. O. W. Fifer, of the Warren Memorial Methodist church, will be the speaker at the vesper service of the association at 318 E. 20th St. at 3:30 o'clock Sunday afternoon. The debate that was announced for Monday evening's program was postponed and a spelling match was substituted in its stead. A very enjoyable time was had by all the participants. The prize was won by Miss Madie Nelson. Mrs. S. A. Bondurant was in charge.

All were adult members, the boys not taking any part in the campaign this time. Another campaign on a large and novel scale is now being planned by a special committee, the details of which will be announced later on. Nothing like it has ever been known before, and it is bound to be a big success. The membership of the branch is now 100 men and 50 boys. It is the desire of the committee to raise the senior membership to 300 this year. Rev. Dr. Charles G. Williams, pastor of the Capitol Heights Presbyterian church, addressed the men's meeting last Sunday afternoon at the four o'clock meeting. Special music will furnished by a quartet of young ladies. The members of the Dramatic Club are preparing two plays which are to be brought on later on. Meetings will be held for boys and men at the usual time next Sunday afternoon. The men's meeting will be held at 4 o'clock. Harry Ewing, secretary of the Young Men's Christian Association in Buenos Ayres, Argentine Republic, is the speaker. All men welcome. A senior membership reception will be held next Monday evening. The new members who came in during the membership canvas will be presented to the members. UNION UNIVERSITY WINS INTERCOLLEGIATE DEBATE Team From Noted Southern School Defeats Lincoln in New York. New York.-The intercollegiate debate between Lincoln and the Virginia Union university teams recently held at the Mount Olivet Baptist church in this city, the Rev. Dr. W. P. Hayes pastor, brought together a large number of graduates and former students of the two institutions. There was also a large number of teachers and students of the high and public schools of Greater New York and vicinity. Other than the arrangements made by the two institutions, the debate was finely supported in local arrangements by the Northern chapter of the Virginia Union University Alumni association, whose officials are Dr. William P. Hayes, president; N. B. Dodson, secretary, and Dr. William M. Moss, treasurer. The question discussed was, "Resolved, That the Military and Naval Forces of the United States Should Be Promptly Enlarged and Strengthened." The affirmative was represented by Messrs. Wood and Burton of Lincoln and the negative by Virginia D. Johnson and Eugene E. Smith of Union. The contestants on each side made strong arguments, backed by many facts and much historical data. It was agreed that the question was to be decided upon the points made by the speakers, platform appearance and the logical manner of their argument rather than the merits of the question as stated. The decision was given to Union. The judges were the Hon. Charles W. Anderson, Editor George W. Harris and Attorney Philip A. Thorne. W.

NATIONAL URBAN LEAGUE ADDS NEW DEPARTMENT Thrifty Race Organization Opens Workers' Bureau at Nashville, Tenn. After several years of experience the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes has been convinced of the need of some general agency for helping graduates of Negro institutions to find occupations in fields suited to their ability and training. In trying to work out some plan to help in this particular the league has decided to open a workers' vocational bureau. In announcing the opening of the bureau Dr. George E. Haynes, one of the executive secretaries of the league, states: "This bureau will try to get in touch with various fields of work that are seeking trained people and connect up with the graduates of the schools who show evidence of efficiency and character. It will be the aim of the bureau to bring those offering the positions and those seeking the positions together. Whenever the bureau has sufficient first hand information to recommend a candidate it will do so, but its general policy will be to furnish the employer with the school record and recommendations of those who know the candidate, leaving the final opinion as to the candidate's qualifications to those who wish to employ him. "The league wishes to make clear that this workers' vocational bureau does not intend in any way to interfere with the present or future work of any institution in placing its own graduates in positions. The aim is merely to supplement the efforts of individuals and institutions. To this end we welcome any suggestions and criticisms at any time, and for this work the bureau earnestly solicits the co-operation of every one.

Westbrook, Chairman Organization at Kansas City, Mo. to Entertain the National Body. Kansas City, Mo.—The local Business league of this city has commenced in earnest preparations to entertain the National Negro Business league, which meets here from Aug. 16 to 18 inclusive. A membership campaign is being conducted, from which it is hoped at least 1,000 new members may be added to the league. This membership campaign will be followed by the appointment of committees to complete the plans already outlined. Mr. and Mrs. Fortune J. Weaver are the leading spirits in the movement here. In this they will be joined by the leading men and women of Kansas City, Mo., and Kansas City, Kan., and all the surrounding towns will fall in line to forward the work. Make the Missouri people are determined to make this the greatest session of the league in its history and will give to the national body more members, annual and life, than any other place. All of this will be worked out in the program of preparation. Charles Stewart, A. M., the noted writer, was in the city early in March conferring with the local newspapers and other leaders here. The local league gave Dr. Stewart a banquet. He delivered several talks, including one at the Y. M. C. A., visited the schools and churches and talked with a number of the ministers. He was the guest of the young Kansas poet, Tilford Davis. From his talks the people received much information and inspiration. Professor J. R. E. Lee, principal of the Lincoln high school, who was connected with the Tuskegee institute for a number of years, will co-operate with the local committee. He is a valuable man in affairs of this kind. Hon. John M. Wright of Topeka, Kan., will be directly interested in the success of the league and will bring a large delegation from Topeka. The place for holding the sessions of the league will soon be announced, as well as many of the social functions. Perhaps a trip will be made to the potato farm of Mr. Groves, the Negro "potato king." The farmers around Kansas City are getting together and will attend the sessions of the league in a body. It is about thirty minutes' ride from Kansas City on a street car to Mr. Groves' farm. Mme. Motin to Make Northern Tour. Mme. Frances E. Motin, president of the Motin School of Expression.

The Star is glad to announce that for some good and sufficient reason, Commissioner of Property Greenlee has opened up his heart this year, just two weeks before election, and gave 12 men, members of Editor Joe Rivers' Citizen League jobs, secured by him. We thank both Mr. Rivers and Mr. Greenlee for their late and timely consideration, even in this twelfth hour. Now if Mr. Rivers had sufficient influence with Mr. Greenlee to get 12 men jobs at $2.50 per day this year, just prior to election, we wonder why he did not have enough of this same influence last year and year before at this time to secure 12 Negroes work. Two springs have passed with the same sun and same earth. Winter always makes more work and springtime demands extra labor. Last year and year before it demanded WHITE labor; this year, just prior to election, the WORK DEMANDS Negro labor. Ahem! We need the work and the money which comes from these menial jobs, but Mr. Greenlee cannot starve us for two years and then work us for two weeks during election time and think he pays up his political debts that way. The difference between Messrs. Greenlee, Pitcher and Sharley is this: Mr. Greenlee gave all menial jobs, Mr. Pitcher some menial and some representative, Mr. Sharley all representative jobs. Mr. Greenlee don't believe a Negro and white people should work in a representative capacity together; the other two men do. Mr. Greenlee is for Booth, who Jim Crows; the other gentlemen are for a man who respects and helps you like they have. Almost persuaded but lost!

At the postoffice in the city of Denver, STORY OF FIFTEEN CENTS GIVEN FOR AFRICA'S UPLIFT How Emily Sanford's Mite Paved Way For Great Missionary Work. At a meeting of the Texas foreign mission convention, held at Bryan Tex., during a visit of the Rev. Dr. L. G. Jordan, corresponding secretary of the national Baptist foreign mission board, the work of a two cent stamp in central Africa was related. After hearing the story the Rev. Mr. Littleton of Rockdale said in addressing the audience that he wished to make a statement and an offering. In the course of his remarks the Rev. Mr. Littleton said: "Two years ago Mrs. Emily Sanford, a member of our church, was taken very ill. While on what proved to be her deathbed she said to the members of her missionary circle, 'Here is 15 cents; please use it for Africa.' This 15 cents has been kept in the missionary box for two years, and now I want to give it to Dr. L. G. Jordan to use in the way he thinks best." Dr. Jordan accepted the 15 cents with thanks, but at the time did not see to what use he could put it except to deposit it in the common treasury. But while en route to headquarters he visited Olivet Baptist church in Chicago and in a sermon related the incident. At the close of the service a woman came forward and asked if she might use the 15 cents to buy cloth with which to make an apron, from the sale of which other aprons could be made until an "Emily Sanford fund" could be started. She made the apron and returned it to the church. Time passed on, and the incident was seemingly forgotten. A few months later Dr. Jordan returned to Chicago, and by a mere coincidence the apron came into his hands. It was sold for "missions" at auction in the Olivet church for 75 cents. This amount was given to Mrs. Jackson, the originator of the idea, to make other aprons to be sold. This was done until $7 was accumulated. By the aid of Mrs. Jordan, $3 or $4 worth of aprons were made for another trip to Texas. In October, 1913, en route to Texas to attend the general Baptist convention at San Antonio, he lost all baggage, including the last vestige of the "Emily Sanford" aprons. He told the story to the foreign mission board and asked that the hall in the proposed building for the school organized at Grand Bassa, west coast of Africa, by Miss Susle M. Taylor be known as the "Emily Sanford hall." On Wednesday night, Dec. 21, 1915, Dr. Jordan spoke in Mount Gillard Baptist church, Fort Worth, Tex., and again told of the "Emily Worth fund"—how it was started, how all was lost and how he gave up. At the close of the talk a note was passed to Dr. Jordan which contained 50 cents. The note read: "I am the granddaughter of Emily Sanford. I inclose 50 cents to revive your apron protect." Providentially, as on a previous occasion, Dr. Jordan stopped in Chicago en route home and again related the story of the 15 cents, and to his surprise the originator of the apron project, a Mrs. Jackson, was in the audience and again started to work on the apron matter. Dr. Jordan has requested that the women of the various missionary societies make 2,000 aprons, the sale of which will go to pay for the Emily Sanford hall at the Bible Industrial academy at Grand Bassa, west coast of Africa, of which Miss Susie M. Taylor and Miss Eliza L. Davis are principal and assistant principal, respectively. High School Girls' Educational Tour. Lillian C. Dodson was one of the eighty-five pupils of the girls' high school in Brooklyn who accompanied Dr. William H.

Miss Dodson is the only one of our race who has ever gone on the tour, which is an annual event. She is a member of the "poets' corner" at girls' high, a member of the June graduation class and contributed an article to the current number of the Blue and Gold, the girls' high school journal.

Miss Elizabeth Dotson Miss Alberta Wilson PROMOTION FOR DR. G. W. PORTER Able Methodist Leader Urged For Episcopal Honors. HOW HE SERVES THE PEOPLE Minister of St. John African Methodist Episcopal Church at Nashville, Tenn. Is the Unanimous Choice of the State Delegation For Bishop—Friend of Young People. The Rev. Dr. G. W. Porter, who is much talked of in connection with the episcopacy of the A. M. E. church at the forthcoming general conference of the connection, has been selected by the majority of the delegates of Tennessee as the one man whom Tennessee will offer for election at Philadelphia in May. He is serving his fourth year at St John's A. M. E. church in Nashville Tenn., which is the oldest of the A. M. E. connection in that state and which is looked upon as the mother of African Methodism in Tennessee. One steady movement of progress and improvement has marked the la dors of this able and efficient pastor from the beginning of his administration up to the present time. While his great congregation is hoping to see him elevated, it is also wondering who will be able to fill Dr. Porter's place in St. John's church in the event of his election to the high office of bishop. He is the first pastor who has served for successive years at St. John's for more than twenty years, and still he is more popular now than at any time since the beginning of his administration. During his administration St. John's has been almost completely changed in every way. The church building has been completely renovated, new heating apparatus has been installed and the large auditorium made as comfortable as a parlor. The congregation has grown steadily with an influx of young people such as the church has never known before. The V. V.

While Dr. Porter is popular within his own church circle in Nashville he is also very popular in other places outside of his own congregation. There is scarcely a Sunday afternoon that he is not busy with addresses or sermons to some church or organization of the city. Since he has received the indorsement of the conferences of his home state the leading business and professional men of the city of Nashville have rushed forward to offer their indorsement and pledges of assistance in any honorable way that they may be used to help in securing his election. He has lately been elected president of the A. M. E. Ministers' alliance of Nashville. He is also president of the interdenominational ministers' meeting of Nashville and president of the Negro Emancipation association of Nashville and Davidson county, which organization conducted under his management the largest and most representative emancipation celebration at the great Ryman auditorium on the 1st of January that was ever held in its section of the country. This great celebration included all religious denominations, all the schools and colleges and all business and fraternal enterprises in and about Nashville. The organization is made up of the leading ministers, college and university presidents, business and professional men and women, and Dr. Porter presides over all with the utmost ease and grace and holds the love and esteem of all. The Rev. Dr. Porter and Dr. J. A. Jones, president of Turner college, Shelbyville, Tenn., at one time engaged in a friendly contest as to which of them should be Tennessee's candidate at the forthcoming general conference for the bishopric. The four annual conferences in Tennessee passed resolutions indorsing both of these gentlemen, but referred the matter of preference between the two to the delegates elected to the general conference. Drs. Porter and Jones, being the best of personal friends, got together and agreed to have the delegates take a secret vote, and each promised the other that the one receiving the majority vote the other would withdraw in his favor. The announcement has recently been made that Dr. Porter has secured the majority vote, and this makes him Tennessee's candidate for the Episcopal honors. air Goods and Notion Store air Goods, Transformations ces Orders Taken BROWN Toilet Articles formerly hand- by Mrs. Lillie Moore.

The dining rooms were richly decorated with white and lavender ribbons and upon each table was placed smelt smelling hyacinths and on the side were the beautiful blooming lilies. There was a profusion of green ferns and amid them were nests of Easter eggs, giving a contrast to the adorning embroidery of Mexican designs in shape of napkins with battenburg and drawn work weaved in the shape of table cloths. Everything was in its new Easter garb. Even the smiling waitress with her heavy dimples came decorated in a new Easter frock, while she served baked chicken, Spanish chicken, broiled squab with oyster dressing, baked ham with orange ice and vanilla cream. All these things happened Sunday at the homelike restaurant, 28th St., with Mrs. John Nelson as proprietress. W. H.

U-N-E-E-D-A DANDERCIDE AND BHAMPOO U-N-E-E-D-A SKIN PLEASU JOHN H. HARRIS SCOTTISH RITE MASONS TO MEET IN INDIANAPOLIS Supreme Council to Open With Divine Service Sunday, May 7. Indianapolis, Ind.-The thirty-sixth annual session of the supreme council of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite Masons of the northern Masonic jurisdiction will be held in this city from Sunday, May 7, to 9. inclusive. This powerful organization embraces Masons who have taken the thirty-third degree, the highest degree in Masonry, and is the lawmaking body for the Scottish Rite in its jurisdiction. The organization has a large membership in each of the northern states. The coming session will be the second to be held away from the regular meeting place in Philadelphia, and it was only in deference to the increasingly large number of Masons in the far and middle west that this city was selected as the seat of the convocation for 1916. Constantine consistory is planning to entertain the organization in the royal fashion that always characterizes the people of the Hoosier capital. The regular business session will be interspersed with many interesting and enjoyable social features, including a banquet. On Sunday, May 7, at 8 p. m., a special divine service will be held at Bethel African Methodist Episcopal church, when the Rev. William H. Weaver, thirty-third degree, will deliver a sermon especially prepared for the occasion. The supreme council will attend this service, escorted by the Masonic bodies of Indianapolis. Monday, May 8, will mark the opening of the executive and business sessions, with conferring of degrees, continuing throughout the day. At night the banquet by the Constantine consistory will be held Tuesday the supreme council will hear reports and wind up the routine affairs of the convocation, and at the close the body will be treated to a birdseye view of the numerous points of historic interest about Indianapolis, with a glance at the beautiful homes and beauty spots of the city and a survey of the business and industrial development shown by both races. On Wednesday, May 10, the members of the supreme council will visit Detroit, Mich., as the guests of the Wolverene consistory of that valley, a cordial invitation to make the journey having been accepted by the organization. Many prominent men from various portions of the country will be in attendance, among whom are J. F. Rickards of Detroit, most pulsant sovereign grand commander; William H. Miller of Philadelphia, grand secretary; Hon. W. F. Powell, former United States minister to Halti; U. G. Powell of Massachusetts, R. H. Weeks of Delaware, J. M. Morris of Minneapolis, Minn.; Richard E. Moore of Chicago and others. Dr. Sumner A. Furniss, grand minister of state in the supreme council, one of the best known and most popular physicians and public spirited citizens in the Hoosier commonwealth, has active charge of the arrangements for the entertainment of the Scottish Rite visitors, which is in itself a guarantee that the work will be satisfactorily done. Successful Work of Dr. Matilda Evans The St. Luke hospital, Columbia, S.C. is doubtless the only institution of its kind in the United States owned by a woman physician who is also the chief practitioner. Dr. Maltida Evans of the above named institution bears this unique distinction and conducts the work with signal success. She employs twelve young men and women regularly and has recently secured and moved into larger quarters.

GOOD ADVICE OF ABLE EDUCATOR Major Moton Delivers Address to Alabama Teachers. POINTS WAY TO SUCCESS. Successor of Dr. Washington at Tuskegee Is Principal Speaker at Annual Meeting of the State Teachers' Association Held In Birmingham. Let Us Follow Washington, He Says. Major Robert R. Moton of Hampton institute, who is the principal elect of Tuskegee institute and successor to Dr. Booker T. Washington, made his first big Alabama address before the Colored State Teachers' association, which met in Birmingham the early part of April. Some 500 white people, including Governor Charles Henderson, were present. In his address Major Moton in part said: Booker T. Washington's educational program was not merely local, but it was national, worldwide in scope—industry, thrift, morality, decent homes, clean bodies and minds, better methods of farming—a kind of education which made a universal appeal was his. It was an education that helped farmers to do better farming, the carpenter to do better carpentering and the cook to do better cooking. He believed that education in the broadest sense should teach a farmer how to get more out of an acre by better methods; that a carpenter was receiving useful and very necessary instruction when taught how to build a better and more beautiful house at less cost, and that to instruct those who cook how to keep a cleaner kitchen and prepare a more appetizing meal at less expense was, in his opinion, an education of the most essential sort. You, no doubt, have often heard him say that a handsome mule or horse well groomed was fine to look at, but that a hungry, struggling community would soon tire of looking at him unless hitched to a plow, cart or wagon, or unless it was doing something that would help humanity. And, my friends, just so it is with education. Wearing fine clothes and presenting an attractive appearance does not mean anything to a struggling and hungry community, unless you set to work to perform some service for your fellow men. Booker T. Washington was most persistent in his efforts that education, whether farmer, preacher or teacher, should be linked in a definite way to life, and the life of the lowly man and woman in particular, for he wanted to see each man and each woman live and do better in his daily vocation. This idea he worked out and put into practice in such a remarkable and convincing way as to command the respect and admiration of the entire world. The colored people of Alabama, as a rule, have been wise enough to follow Dr. Washington's course, and as a result the white people of the state are growing more interested in the Negro schools. If the white man sees that Negro education makes a more industrious community, if he sees better results on his farm, in his kitchen, better behavior on the streets in the life and conduct of the colored people of the community generally he will not only believe in and unreservedly approve of Negro education, but he will find some way to assist in giving for better schools. White people can usually find a way for anything they think is really worth while, but they must be convinced that it is so worth while, and nobody can do that better than the Negro teacher, and no one demonstrated this more conclusively, more effectively or more beautifully than the man in whose memory we are gathered tonight. We us teachers must first of all live clean, honest, industrious, unselfish lives. We are now living in an era when we are expected to practice what we preach. Let us take a firm stand for morality and set our faces like flint against the loafing, worthless element in any race. Let us follow Dr. Washington in teaching the members of our race the necessity of decent living and the beauty and dignity of labor, for indeed we have more to fear from the lazy, shiftless, ignorant criminal than from any race prejudice in Alabama. And let us remember that in the solution of the race problem a large measure depends upon us, and education will be one of our most forceful and helpful mediums for good. Progress Noted at New Monrovia, Fla. New Monrovia, Fla., thirty-two miles from Palm Beach on the main line of the Florida East Coast railway, is a rapidly growing community. It is to be incorporated under the laws of the state and owned and controlled by the colored citizens of that section of the state. Churches, schools and other institutions usually found in a well regulated town are being erected. Rich farm land and plots of homes are being laid out for sale to prospective residents, and the whole territory is assuming a healthy and thrifty appearance. With the influence of the local business leagues of the state and the efforts of the officials of the town it will not be long before every section of the district will be inhabited by thrifty members of our race.

Executive Secretary of National Urban League Investigates Social Conditions New York—Eugene K. Jones, executive secretary of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes left this city the first week in April for a three weeks' trip south. In Atlanta, Savannah and Augusta, Ga. Mr. Jones will advise with the heads of the organizations affiliated with the league.

He will make an investigation of industrial and recreation advantages for colored people, inquire into matters of juvenile and adult de laquency and inspect the housing and sanitary regulations observed in districts among our people. If the field is favorable for an organization like the Urban league, plans will be entered into for forming a temporary organization. Secretary Jones stepped in Washing ton upon the invitation of several prominent citizens for conference on matters pertaining to uplift work among our people generally.

Under the caption, "The Negro in Music," the Richmond (Va.) Times Dispatch in a recent issue says: Assuming that the basis of what is termed national music is found in folk song, it may be urged that American music so far as it is peculiarly American, is based on Negro melodies. This finds support, for example, in Dvorak's "Symphony From the New World," which abounds in melodies strikingly suggestive of our plantation tunes. True, it is contended that none of these melodies is to be found in Negro music in the form in which Dvorak wrote them, but the influence of the plantation song is apparent in every interval, every melodic curve.

But the Negro is not confined in music to melodies crooned in the field or wailed in meetings or chanted on decks. The Negro musician is becoming less essentially Negro and more widely musical. In other words, here and there Negroes are writing music, not merely repeating traditional tunes from generation to generation, but composing music that has no racial qualities to set it apart. In churches all over the English speaking world choirs are singing the works of Coleridge Taylor, a Negro whose death a few years ago was regretted by all the world of music, and choral societies are singing his beautiful setting of "Blues."

Vote “YES” only to Speer amendment anc “NO” on all the rest. Vote on al three. In the first place I'm for Denver, her good name and prosperity. 1 fought for lower telephone rates and reduced the price of every phone in Denver. I assisted in the fight of grade teachers for higher wages, also against jitney busses coming into Denver, which all know would have injured the company that has always given splendid service. Jt would have been a crime to have out this system in the hands of a receiver without any apparent benefit to our people. I favored set- tling the water question at the arbitration price of $14,400,000.00 by either buying or giving a franchise. I was bitterly condemned, yet today after taking away a goodly proportion of the Water Co.'s assets, the “High Chief” who hounded Moffat to his grave agrees to pay the fame company relatively the same arbitration price, notwithstanding his previous statement “that our city could duplicate the entire hold- Ings for $7,000,000.” For years past millions of money have been kept out of Denver on account of this agitation, still we are paying the same price for water and have spent hundreds of thousands in suits, commissions, etc. Was I right or wrong? I fought for better roads and streets—for Alexander and Kendricks for school directors because they were real men; for C. A. Lammers for commissioner because of his high reputation and against “fakers” coming into Denver to strip our city of thousands, while the poor were begging for coal and food. Many other improvements and benefits, such as a loop at the depot and cadet system in our schools, I have favored and pushed and I feel my record in Denver will prove that I have always stood out fearlessly for the people’s best interests and in most cases been on the winning side. Today, like thousands of Denver's best citizens, I am fighting to elect Robt. W. Speer as mayor, and for the adoption of his charter amendment, because reforms of nearly every nature have brought us to the brink of disaster. The “Big Brothers,” in commenting on commission form of gov- ernment stated that we had jumped out of the frying pan into the fire. In other words, we had elected five tails and no head. Mr. Speer has not reformed or come back. He has never been defeated nor has he commtited a dark deed in the past for which he is willing to repent. He never told any preachers to go to hell, even if he so wished, and he never will see the day that such men as Rush, Finch, Nisbet or Duffield can blacken his character. They may stain his clothing, but not his name. These men combined with a “Pink Sheet” and Patterson, are now talking moralities and temperance, and trying to hinder Mr. Speer’s election. What have they ever done for Denver? Did Patterson ever fail to collect rent from his hotel because the management sold liquor and run a cabaret? Tom now writes columns in a paper which he condemned as the foulest sheet in America, and now sits at the right hand of the man who hit him in the back and stabbed his name with a poisoned pen. I am for Robt. W. Speer because the offal of literary and political scavengers are against him; because he has the ability to run this city and nerve to back it up; because most of the improvements in Denver worthy of note originated in the brain of this big man; because Finch- ism and Rushism are diametrically opposed to efficient government; because if this man of backbone is elected he will run Denver instead of letting a gang of blackmailers, hypocrites and mud-slingers demand the entire patronage of our city government. | am for Speer because he has stood the shot and shell of infamy without flinching; because, had he been a crook while in office, his enemies weuld have placed him behind the prison bars, even tho it cost them a million; because he knows every department as I know my store, and because this time thousands of taxpaying democrats, republicans and citizens who do not want office, but anxious to give our city a boost upward; a tone of thrift and an administration such as every working man and woman and men of means desire. We've been overdosed with cathartics, which work while we sleep, and nauseated with countless bottles of “peruna.” We've been popular- ized all over America as the hot-bed of political thieves and we've had spasms of virtue until bus‘ness has given way to purity meetings and the wheels of commerce clogged with rotten rags dropped from the forms of pirates willing to double-cross their own mother to retain a political possition.
