"30 Years of Freedom" BY 30 YOUNG DENVERITES, Thursday Eve'g Next at Shorter The Denver Star ESTABLISHED 1888 State History and Natural History Books The papers formerly known as The Statesman and The independent, have been merged into The Denver Star TWENTY-SEVENTH YEAR Number 145 DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JULY 22, 1916 FIVE CENTS A COPY Interesting News Concerning the Race. What the Northern White People Think The first battle of the war with Spain was fought at Las Guasimas, near Santiago, in Cuba, when, on June 28, 1896, the celebrated Rough Riders had their baptism of fire. Wood and Roosevelt led into action 450 of the Rough Riders, supported by 200 of the First cavalry and 224 of the Tenth, then, as now, made up of Negroes. Taken by surprise, and subjected to a heavy fire from the outnumbering Spanish forces in concealment the volunteers hesitated under the rain of bullets. The Tenth cavalry came to their rescue with the intrepidity of disciplined veterans. Colonel Watterson, in his history of the Spanish-American war, records: The courage of the black troops as they charged deliberately up the slope was every where applauded. There was no hurry, no hesitation, but cool deliberation. When a man was struck his comrade turned and called "Hospital" with as much presence of mind as if it were a sham battle. The black troops displayed fine courage and discipline. After a lapse of eighteen years "the Black Tenth" figures in the opening engagement on Mexican soil. The same heroism that was displayed in the first battle of the Spanish-American war was shown again at Carrizal, when the black troopers were led into an ambuscade. Reflecting on the service rendered by "the Black Tenth" in Cuba, and now, after the lapse of eighteen years in Mexico, we are disagreeably affected by this dispatch from Washington: The suggestion has been sent to the war department from a government official in El Paso that one hundred thousand Negro troops be recruited in the southern states for the use in the event that the United States invades Mexico. The suggestion was telegraphed a few days ago and is based on the theory that the Negro troops will be better able to cope with conditions in the desert country of Mezico than would other troops. Before the government calls upon the Negroes the of south what of their political rights? If they are good enough to fight for the country, if they are good enough to die for it, as they died at Las Guasimas in June, 1896, and at Carrizal in June, 1916 then they are good enough to vote for it. Los Angeles Tribune. Jersey Film Company to Show First Pictures. Jersey City, N. J.-The premiere of the first picture produced by the Frederick Douglass Film Co. occurred at the Majestic Theatre, Jersey City, on Friday evening July 14. The picture is a five reel photoplay, depicting the struggles and development of a young Negro, and it is captioned "The Colored American, or Winning His Suit.' The characters, were all enacted by colored amateurs, many of them being prominent in the Jersey cities contiguous to this town, The story was written by the Rev. W. S. Smith, pastor of Monumental Baptist Church, and he, with Dr. G. E. Cannon, 354 Pacific avenue treasurer of the film company, formed the producing committee. The picture was shown only on Friday night. The picture is booked to be presented to the patrons of the Lincoln Theatre, 135th street and Lenox avenue, New York City, Sunday, July 23rd. White Soldiers Disgrace Ga. Macon, Ga...—Cracker soldiers here have dishonored Georgia. This state still keeps up its name as the most disgraced in the Union. While soldiers were at camp here, a Race men and his wife were out looking for a job. A bunch of soldiers, 15 in number, took them to the camp and committed rape on the man's wife. Each soldier abused the woman and the husband at the point of a gun was made to stand and witness the incident. After they had used her and had nearly killed her, they drove her away, but the poor miserable woman could not walk. The disgrace was so great that the whites have tried to shut it up She was taken to the hospital, where the doctors say she can barely live. The husband was then kicked and driven from camp. A woman peddler went to camp grounds to sell fresh vegetables and the brute jumped on her and beat her into sensibility. Other crimes equally as bad have been committed by these, "the flower of the southern knighthood," but the governor of the state and military officials have winked their eye at these low moral pirates who are elected by the south to protect the flag. They can't govern themselves or protect any one else, let alone look after a foreign enemy. There is no wonder the national government has not called them to the Mexican border, and may never do so. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JULY 22, 1916 Mayor Speer Tried and Tested, Rings True Despite Trap Cuts Part "Birth of a Nation" Film, Refutes Enemy's Charge. Treachery Hinted. Dewey C. Bailey and Mrs. Conway Responsible for Vicious Parts Remaining in the Play. Judge Butler's Court Forces Mayor to Accept Play Kicked Out of Kansas and Ohio. City's Hands Tied. Mayor Speer is one of the biggest, bravest and best exceptional men among the big true Americans in Denver. He is bigger than his party, broader than their principles gnd prejudices, too big to be a little man of character, and is truly filled with the keenest desire of always doing the best thing for the peace, prosperity and welfare of Denver and her citizens. His ambition is to promote all the interests in Denver at the expense of no one class, race or body. God Bless Mayor Speer for his unalloyed manhood, his true devotion to his principles of a square deal and his extraordinary fairness and frankness which knows no race nor color. Negroes of Denver have nothing but praise to give him for his unyielding courage and unadulterated manhood used in attempting to protect a certain class of good, honorable, hard working tax paying and church going citizens who desire that the peace, harmony and property existing between the races should be kept undisturbed. The Birth of the Nation has returned to Denver. Before its arrival, on July 3rd Rev. Washington, L. H. Lightner and Attorney Geo. G. Ross of the Star called upon the Mayor and asked for six eliminations of that vicious fim. The Mayor promised a square deal to all MAYOR ROBT. W. SPEER. parties and that no advantage would be taken by anybody. He asked for list of our objections which appeared in the Star later, and we gave them to him. On Tuesday or Wednesday July 11 or 12, the following committee, Attorney W. B. Townsend, Rev. D. E. Over, George Gross, Chas. W. Buford, Jas. Cooper, Mesdames Mary Holmes and Alice Webb were down to see the Mayor who promised them a square deal and informed them of our activity. Mayor Speer and Commissioner of Safety, Dewey C. Bailey went over the list of objections submitted by the committees against scenes in the Birth of Nation film, Saturday afternoon and the eliminations requested and agreed upon, were to be made after Mr. Dewey Bailey had viewed the picture Sunday morning at 11 a. m. at the Broadway Theatre. At the review of the picture was the lady Censor, Mrs. Conway, Nisbet's former appointee who had already passed favorably upon the whole film stating nothing should be cut out. This was under Nisbet's regime. For some reason Mrs. Conway was given the privilege or pleasure to make the eliminations as agreed upon by Mayor Speer and Mr. Bailey, it seems. Sunday night, Attorney Geo. G. Ross, Mesdames Buford, Gunnel and Yochum viewed the play and found that all the horrible and reprehensible scenes which reflected gross disgrace and shame upon the Negroes of Denver and which tended to create a false impression and prejudice against the Negro and which were designed to disturb the peaceful relations between the races were designedly left in by Mr. Bailey and Mrs. Conway, Nisbet's appointee. Mr. Bailey was informed, if the censoring was left to Mrs. Conway alone that the interests of the Negro would suffer, yet Mrs. Conway finally passed upon the eliminations made by the Mayor and Mr. Bailey; and only cut out a few minor meaningless scenes and left the "library scene between Stonemason and his Concubine"; the scene of Gus, the chase, leaping of the girl to her death, the trial, lynching, and the dead body labelled, which was afterwards thrown upon the Capital steps, and the scenes of Lynch carrying this prostrate form of a white girl Stonemason's daughter from room to room in his arms trying to force her to marry him. What white man's anger after being played upon would not have been kindled? Monday The Star reported to Mayor Speer who seemed surprised and asked if it was really true and he was informed it was. So Mr. Bailey was called in and questioned and it was here that Mayor Speer demonstrated his absolute square dealing and open-and-above board work. It seemed from Mrs. Bailey's conversation that he had turned over to Mrs. Conway the eliminations agreed upon by them and that she had not, for some reason or the film company had not made the eliminations. Mr. Bailey said he did not see anything objectionable in the library scenes, in all the scenes of Gus and the white girl, and nothing in Lynch's attitude and actions with the white girl. Finally he agreed that the rape scene "might" stir up some "irresponsible" fellow. All the time the Mayor suggested the elimination of the rape and library scenes and asked Mr. Bailey to personally look after the matter. The film company refused to cut out the rape scene or make any alterations in the film. The City Atty. was called and Judge Butler's opinion was carefully reviewed, it found that the play did not arouse or tend to arouse race prejudice in the mind of the white people against the colored; that it did not tend to excite, create nor disturb the peace and quiet heretofore existing between the races; that it did not reflect upon anyone race particularly more than the other; it was not immoral, nor indecent and that it was a gross abuse of discretion or authority of the council for them to suppress the picture or even eliminate any of its parts. "By this decision because of contempt proceedings which would follow, if any violated the Court's order, the City Attorney's hands were practically tied. To the Star Mayor Speer at all times seemed open frank, honest, sincere, desiring to give all a square deal, the same can be said of the City Attorney's office, but, on the other hand, Mr. Bailey seemed insincere, vacillating and did not intend to give the Negro a square deal. By permitting all the objectionable scenes which he and the Mayor agreed to be eliminated, it seems to us that the Mayor was double crossed, possibly for some subtle or political reason. We do not think that Judge Butler's decision gave us a square deal when he found issues of fact which practically tied the hands of our Mayor in the subsequent coming of this particular film. The Mayor has informed the Star that an elimination of part of the most objectionable rape scene of the film had been made and that something else will be doing. Mayor Speer has been tested and proven true under the fire of powerful, subtle influences of wealth, social standing and all kinds of racial ties. He is a man and a Mayor of all the people every inch of him. Negroes of Denver remember Mayor Speer, Dewey C Bailey, Mrs. Conway and Judge Butler. May God bess Mayor Speer. We were told by some big Republicans that Mayor Speer will not do for the Negro any more than Nisbet did if the Birth of Nation returned to Denver. This was to be a political example to the Negroes to show them that altho we stood by the Mayor solidly, he in the trying hour, would turn us down, but he stood like a stone wall and if any turning down at all, happened it came from and thru Mr. Bailey and Mrs. Conway, both republicans. Put a pin in that, please. Pittsburg, Pa.,—Miss Elinor Pulpress has been appointed teacher of the kindergarten here, and is the first Race woman to fill a position in the public schools of this city, and the first to graduate in this department. Her entrance to the training class was bitterly opposed by Supt. William M. Davidson (white), who also tried to prevent her graduation by refusing to assign her to any practice during her last year. After her graduation he put every obstacle in the way of her appointment, and it was only the insistent demands of her parents, friends and the concerted effort of the Pittsburg branch FIVE CENTS A COPY. he would suffer, yet Mrs. Con- liminations made by the Mayor out a few minor meaningless gene between Stonemason and Gus, the chase, leaping of the ching, and the dead body la- brown upon the Capital steps, trying this prostrate form of a ater from room to room in his erry him.

The subject was lecture-sermon from the "Story of Daniel," illustrated by the stereopticon. The service was introduced by the congregational singing of "Onward Christian Soldiers," made real by beautifully colored pictures; and at the close a quartette sang "Jesus Lover." to the accompaniment of wonderful dissolving views.

They are developing some good players among themselves, and some of them are speaking of challenging the seniors. Sims and Ross engaged Bell and King in a game on Saturday evening, and while the former would ordinarily have been no match for the latter pair, but Bell seemed to be out of condition, often missing balls only ten feet away. And yet, with Sims and King already rovers, it is somewhat doubtful how the game would have ended had not Sims been forced to leave in order to make his train. Next Saturday, however, will clear away the doubt. (However, the Y. M. C. A. bell was rung. It can be repeated.) The men's meeting will be held as usual next Sunday afternoon at 4:30 c'clock. Rev. W.

NOTES Due to an unintentional mistake the leader of last Sunday's program was announced to be Mrs. Jones, whereas it was Mrs. Owens. A very splendid program was rendered, the following appearing: Piano solo, Miss Janice Chinn; Good Advice to Girls, Miss A. Cole; Piano solo, Miss E. Henry; Trombone solo, Mrs. M. E. Morrison. The regular vesper services will be held at 4 to 6 p. m., Sunday. Our attendance to these services is rapidly growing larger to hear the very excellent program prepared by the association's well-wishers and members.

When a boy enters upon the printing course at the Hampton (Va.) institute he receives instruction in the composing room in the names and uses of the common tools and materials which will form for four years a part of his daily life. He learns the position in the case of the boxes—elusive small compartments—containing those mysterious metal characters which may give him more than one headache, backache and even heartache before he has mastered his so called P's and Q's. After the boy has learned his case he is put on straight composition—newspaper, book and magazine work—and masters some of the problems of spacing and justifying type, capitalizing and punctuating, paragraphing and proof taking. This work requires usually one year and is followed by jobwork. The boy now learns how to handle types so as to arrange with taste and according to specific direction simple forms, such as return addresses for envelopes, business and visiting cards, letter and bill heads. This work is followed for six months by more difficult composition—blanks requiring panels, tables, figure and rule work, box headings for blank books, title pages, pamphlet covers and such work as is commonly done in commercial printing TO RID CHILD OF WORMS Don't scold the fretful, nervous child. Often it's due to worms. Get rid of these by giving one-half to one lozenge Kickapoo Worm Killer, a laxative worm candy. Give only plain, nourishing food, lots of out-door exercise and put to bed early. Watch stools and continue giving Kickapoo Worm Lozenges. They will positively remove the worms. 25c. at druggists Your Credit Is Good WITH THE KORTZ JEWELRY CO.

Special Investigator Tells Hearttrending Story of Burning of Human Beings Alive In So Called Center of American Culture and Christianity—Victim Lynched at City Hall In Wace. Fifty thousand copies of the story of "The Waco Horror" have been distributed by the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People through its official organ, the Crisis, and as a result a campaign for an antilynching fund of $10,000 has been launched. Immediately upon hearing the details of this American atrocity, which for barbarity surpasses anything charged against the Germans in Belgium, Judge Moorfield Storey, national president of the association and formerly president of the American Bar association, and Philip G. Peabody, both of Boston, each offered to contribute $1,000 toward such a fund on condition that the remaining $8,000 be raised by Aug. 1. The N. A. A. C. P. sent a special investigator from national headquarters, 70 Fifth avenue, New York, who commenced gathering evidence in Waco, Tex., where the burning occurred, within forty-eight hours after the lynching. Inasmuch as 15,000 people had sanctioned the affair by their presence and dozens of pictures were taken, there was no difficulty in ascertaining the names and addresses of the ringleaders and those of both the judge and sheriff, who seemed not to have made the slightest effort to protect their prisoner. The association is bending every effort to secure a distinguished Texas lawyer with courage enough to bring the case against these murderers into court. Politics, the investigator found, was at the bottom of the affair. Sam Fleming, the sheriff, is up for re-election at the Democratic primary this month (July). His opponent, Buchanan, though illiterate, has "three dead niggers to his credit," so 'tis said, and is therefore very popular. Unless he is to go back to selling buggies and cultivators for the hardware store Sam needed a lynching to increase his popularity. The murder of Mrs. Fryer on Monday, May 8, came just at the right time. Jesse Washington, a colored boy of seventeen, charged with murder, confessed. His trial was set for Monday, May 15. The crowd began gathering from the surrounding country on Sunday. When court opened 1,500 crowded into the room, inside the rail, about the judge's desk and jury box, and 2,000 more waited in the courtyard. The district judge of the criminal court, R. 1. Munroe, elbowed his way to his desk, and the boy was brought from his chambers, where he had been secreted since the sheriff brought him from Dallas in the middle of the night. As the jurors were called the crowd yelled, "We don't need any jury!" but the trial was allowed to be hurried through. The jury brought in a verdict of guilty of murder and assessed his punishment as death. The defendant had waived his legal rights and would have been hanged that same afternoon. There was a pause of a full minute. The court stenographer slipped out with his records. Sheriff Fleming sneaked out too. Then a big fellow in the back of the courtroom yelled, "Get the nigger!" They took him before the court had pronounced judgment without the judge lifting a finger in protest. Down the back stairs they rushed him to the crowd waiting outside. They put the chain in his mouth so that he wouldn't choke too soon, and when those lugging at it broke it the driver of an immense brewery truck, who led the rabble, wound it around his own wrist rather than take chances that the boy should die too soon. Many had come away to attend this party, and they didn't want it to end in a minute. Everybody was happy. They shouted and sang like a bunch of fans at a ball game, according to a Waco paper. When the boy's clothes had been cut up and distributed as souvenirs there were not enough pieces to go around so somebody cut off an ear for his keepsake. The Waco Times Herald, published the same afternoon, said: "On the way to the scene of the burning people co every side took a hand in showing their feelings in the matter by striking the Negro with anything obtainable. Some truck him with shovels, bricks, cluos, and others stabbed him and cut him until when he was strung up his body was a solid color of red, the blood of the many wounds inflicted covering him from head to foot." They took Washington to a tree on the city hall lawn just outside the window of his honor the mayor, which he generously shared with Mr. Glider sleeve, the photographer to whom we are indebted for our cuts in the Crisis supplement. A chain was thrown over the limb of this tree, and while the fire was being lit this bloody thing was hoisted into the air where every one would have a full view. A manicurist who works for Goldstein & Mingle, whose windows look out on the square, told the investigator she saw them mutilate him. As the chain tightened around his neck this half dead creature reached up convulsively to grab it, so The Waco Times Herald makes no bones of it: "Fingers, ears, pieces of clothing, toes and other parts of the Negro's body were cut off by members of the mob that had crowded to the scene as if by magic when the word that the Negro had been taken in charge by the mob was heralded over the city. As the smoke rose to the heavens the mass of people, numbering in the neighborhood of 10,000 crowding the city hall lawn and overflowing the square, hanging from the windows of buildings, viewing the scene from the tops of buildings and trees, set up a shout that was heard blocks away. Onlookers were hanging from the windows of the city hall and every other building that commanded a sight of the burning, and as the Negro's body commenced to burn shouts of delight went up from the thousands of throats, and apparently everybody demonstrated in some way their satisfaction." The body of young Washington was burned to a crisp and was left for some time smoldering in the remains of the fire. "Women and children who desired to view the scene were allowed to do so, the crowds parting to let them look on," says the newspaper account. One father when questioned about the propriety of holding his little son on his shoulder, where he could get a good view, is reported as having said: "My son can't learn too young the proper way to treat a nigger." At 12 o'clock the crowd adjourned for lunch, as usual, but by a quarter past 1 some of the boys were back to continue the fun. A cowboy who had ridden in off the range created a diversion by lassoing the corpse and riding all over town with the remains dangling at the end of his lariat. When the head bounced off as he galloped through the "reservation," the ghetto, some little boys set it up on one of the doorsteps and extracted the loose teeth, which are reported to have brought as high as $5 apiece from those who could afford such rare and permanent souvenirs. The few fragments which held together till night the undertaker was able to chuck into a very small ash can. Waco is a center of American culture in Texas, a great southern college town. It is a Christian city of 40,000 population, boasting thirty-nine white and twenty-four colored churches. Yet no responsible voice was raised in protest that bloody Monday, and only one has been since. Those who believe that a cry to heaven should be raised against this and every lynching by legal prosecution, by publicity, by co-operation with the best white element of the south, by political agitation, are urged to assist the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People to raise this $10,000 anti-lynching fund before Aug. 1. Contributions should be sent to Oswald Garrison Villard, treasurer, at the national headquarters of the organization, 70 Fifth avenue, New York. National Body to Hold Biennial Session at Baltimore In August. The tenth biennial meeting of the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs, Mrs. Booker T. Washington president, will be held in Baltimore for five days, beginning Sunday, August 6. The sessions will be held in the Bethel A. M. E. church. Chulwomen all over the country are making ready for the coming convention of enthusiastic workers for racial advancement. The slogan of the women is "On to Baltimore," their watchword is "Service," and their loyalty is centered in the efforts and ideals of their chieftain, Mrs. Washington. Miss Anna Jones of Kansas City, Mo., is chairman of the program committee. She is working zealously to have the best program since the inception of the organization. There will be an interesting symposium on woman suffrage, and there will be representatives from several of our national bodies who will make reports—namely the National League on Urban Conditions, the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People, per W. Butler Wilson, Esq.; the Young Women's Christian association, per Misses Bowles and Pinyon, and the Women's Christian Temperance union. Other features of the program will be a report by Mrs. Mary B. Talbert of Buffalo, vice president at large, on her transcontinental trip, when in eleven states she delivered a thrilling message to the women of our race. The following named persons are among the notables who are to be heard at the coming meeting: Mrs Joanna Snowden Porter, Chicago; Mrs Eva Monroe, Illinois; Mrs M. C. Lawton; Mrs Alice M. Dunbar, Delaware; Mrs Gertrude Ball, Lexington, Ky.; Mrs D. M. Butler, Mississippi; Mrs Norris Clarke, Virginia; Mr W. T. Johnson, Virginia; Mrs L. A. Moorer, South Carolina; Mrs Lizzie B.

Arter, West Virginia. Mrs W. T. Francis of St. Paul is chairman of the publicity committee. SCOTT SPEAKS FOR RACE. Tuckekee Institute Secretary Receiver Nation of Guatemala to the Fl Nation of Our Loyalty to the Flag. Tuskegee, Ala.-When informed by an Associated Press representative of the recent killing of twelve Negro soldiers, Emmett J. Scott, secretary of the Tuskegee institute, called attention to the fact that eighteen years ago, when war was declared with Spain, the late Cooker T. Washington, principal of Tuskegee institute, called upon the Negro people of the United States, and particularly upon Tuskegee graduates and former students, to volunteer for service in defense of their country. Hundreds of Negroes followed this ad vice. Secretary Scott states that there are a dozen or more Tuskegee graduates and former students in Mexico as members of the various colored regiments "Negroes," he states, "will rally to the defense of their country now as they have always done." As the first American soldier to lose his life in Mexico, March 24 of this year, was a Negro, so the first man killed in the Revolutionary war was a Negro. The Negro people take pride in the fact that it was the charge of Negro troops at San Juan hill in the Spanish American war that turned the fide there and that Negroes have fought bravely in every war in which this country has engaged. The Negro was with Jackson at New Orleans, with Perry on Lake Erie, and 180,000 Negro soldiers served in the civil war. "The Negroes of this country," he states, "will be no less patriotic in the Mexican campaign of 1916 than in former periods of stress and storm. The Negro possesses a patriotism that rises above injustices and wrongs. He is an American through and through. The president will find no hyphenates among us. The Negro has never faltered in defense of his country. He will not falter now. If President Wilson desires to employ sturdy Negroes to defend the flag he can be assured that a hundred thousand and more are at his disposal." COLES COMPLETES COURSE AT HAMPTON INSTITUTE Plucky Petersburg (Va.) Boy Ready to Lead In Race Work. A boy who is willing to sell papers and whose mother works and saves and denies herself in order that he may have an education deserves to succeed. This was the story told by George E. Coles of Petersburg, Va., at Hampton institute recently. As a little boy Coles thought life was a bed of roses. For seventeen terms his mother struggled to keep him in school. He assisted all he could, selling papers, working during the season at Atlantic City, finally finishing high school and then entering Hampton institute. In 1915 Coles secured his trade certificate as a machinist, and in 1910 he graduated from the academic department, ready to serve and lead his people. In concluding his anniversary address Coles said: "The people of my race are living in thorny rose beds. I may be able, while helping my mother, to clean out the thorns of prejudice, poverty and ignorance and leave them a rose bed of education, race pride and happiness."

Those who stand by Stocker now, will be those whom the Star will expect Mr. Stocker to be loyal to when he is nominated for Governor. The time when he needs your support most is before the primaries. On your lining up with the different women's organizations kindly bear in mind that "a friend in need is a friend indeed," and if you make your choice whether it is because one candidate happens to have more money than the other candidates, you must and are expected to stand by it. Everybody knows the Negroes of Colorado are not even thinking of Massa Carlson and beware of every man or woman who speaks his name. The Star is for Stocker and never for Carlson under any circumstances. ALL;SON STOCKER IS THE MAN FOR THE PLACE. With the nomination of Hughes for President and the announcement of Allison Stocker for the nomination for Governor in September, the Negroes of Colorado have a good chance to help put into the State and National executive chairs, men of strong ability, resourcefulness and sterling character. With Allison Stocker as a "peaceful compromise" between the 33,000 Progressives in this state and the thousands of Republicans, there would then be nothing to fear after such a united ticket. Mr. Stocker is so well known in business and political circles that his ability and capability for the governorship goes without questioning. His public record has stamped upon him a character as a known quantity at all times in politics. He is no novice and hence, can draw freely from his fountain of rich experience. When elected as county treasurer he came forward and showed the appreciation of the support given him by our race men and women by appointing one of their number as clerk. So from whatever angle we view the situation, the Star has come to the irresistible conclusion that Allison Stocker is the right man for the right place, and we are for him for Governor of Colorado. We urge the Negroes to think and ponder on the situation and for the sake of our race, let us not put back in the executive chair, Massa Carlson, or any unknown quantity. Let us get busy and organize for active work. ANTI-LYNCHING FUND OF $10,000 WANTED. A campaign to raise an anti-lynchung fund of $10,000 has been inaugurated by the N. A. A. C. P., with headquarters at 70 Fifth Avenue, New York City. This campaign is projected, following upon the distribution of 50,000 copies of the story of the horrible lynching recently enacted at Waco, Texas, when Jesse Washington, a Negro boy, 17 years old, sentenced by the court to be hung, was taken from the court room while the court was still in session, mutilated in the most horrible manner, strung up to a tree with a trace chain around his neck, and the body burned to a cris The subscription has been headed with contributions of $1,000 each from Judge Moorfield Storey, former president of the American Bar Association, now national president of the N. A. A. C. P., and Philip G. Peabody of Boston, these contributions being made on condition that the remaining $8,000 be raised by August 1. Contributions should be sent to Oswald Garrison Villard, treasurer, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York City, and all classes of the citizenry are requested to aid in the raising of this fund. The Denver Local will do its part. Let all of Colorado respond. The above ought to stimulate every Colored citizen to contribute to this fund so as to strike a death blow to the prevailing lynch horror. Therefore, the Denver local of the N. A. A. C. P. will hold a public meeting with a good program, that will be announced later, at Zion Baptist Church Tuesday evening, July 25th.

WELL PREPARED YOUNG LAWYER Rise of Clifton T. A. French at New York Bar FIGURED IN MANY CONTESTS Judge Diamisses Case of the People Against Septimus Rutherford Upon Convincing Argument and Weighty Evidence Produced by Attorney For the Defense. By JOHN E, BRUCE "GRIT." New York.—In the case of the people against Septimus Rutherford, a well known and popular member of the Salem Methodist Episcopal church in this city, recently tried, the legal talent of the colored race triumphed gloriously. Mr. Rutherford was charged with an offense which required a trial by jury 124 CLIFTON T. A. FRENCH, ESQ. His counselor was Clifton T. A. French. a young attorney of our race whose ability as a practitioner is attracting the attention of the legal profession here in a way that is causing old timers in the profession to look well to their laurels. Upon the completion of the testimony of the complaining witness at the trial in question a novel point of law was being argued by the counsel for the people and the defense when the latter created much consternation in the court by the production of evidence of great weight and at the same time made a motion to dismiss the complaint. The court immediately granted the motion with full vindication, and the presiding judge paid Attorney French a fine personal compliment. It is a high tribute to the legal ability of this young sprig of the law to be called to the bench by presiding Judge Rosalsky (who is austerity personified and complimented and praised in fulsome phrase on his sound knowledge of legal procedure in a case of such vital importance to the defendant and his counsel). His course clearly indicated that he had read the law to some purpose and that he saw in this particular case an opportunity to put it to the test. As soon as he mude the motion to dismiss and produced certain evidence to justify his action in defense of his client the learned judge at once saw that he could do no other than to dismiss the complaint. Counselor French had scored. The judge realized it and the prosecuting attorney reluctantly admitted that he was defeated—outpointed, licked "to a frazzle" by a Negro attorney who understood what he wanted and got it. The judge and counsel at the bar owned the force of the Negro's ability and then extended their congratulations to the young disciple of Blackstone who had won a legal victory of which many an old veteran practitioner at the bar would have been proud to have to his credit. But this is not the only legal skirmish in which Mr. French has engaged. Another case in which he secured an acquittal for his client was that of The People versus William Anderson, which was bitterly contested at every point by this brilliant young man, and ended in the freeing of his client. Mr. French's practice covers both the civil and criminal courts, and thus far he has been successful in all the cases in which his firm has appeared. Mr. French received the degree of B. A. from New York university and from Columbia the degrees of M. A.. LL B. and LL M. In addition, he has completed all the resident work for the degree of Ph. D. and has only to write his thesis to obtain his diploma. Thus the professional men of the race everywhere are demonstrating their ability in the most convincing and gratifying manner to acquit themselves creditably in the learned professions. The French brothers are westerners and both of them are "live wires." Their future in the legal profession is big with promise, and they will be heard from in some very big cases some day, for they keep abreast of all the latest decisions of the courts, because this is the business of all wide awake and progressive members of the New York bar. "They are not "social bugs." but lawyers who are in New York for the practice of this honorable profession. GEORGIA STATE COLLEGE CLOSES Institution at Savannah Among Best In the South. SERVES THE RURAL MASSES Five Hundred and Sixty-two Students and Eighteen Buildings Against Eight Students and Three Buildings Twenty-five Years Ago Is Record Made by Thrifty Industrial School. Savannah, Ga.—The twenty-fifth anniversary commencement exercises of the Georgia State Industrial college, held recently in this city for four days, were the best in the history of the school. The baccalaureate sermon was preached by the Rev. R. R. Wright, Jr., Ph. D., editor of the Christian Recorder, Philadelphia. Before entering upon his sermon the speaker, who was the first college graduate of the institution, said: "I came to this institution the second year of its existence—twenty-four years ago. Today there are only two persons connected with this institution who PETER J. BROWN MAJOR R. R. WRIGHT. were then among its officers and teachers and who have continued during the twenty-five years of its existence. They are General P. W. Meldrim, the chairman of the commission, and Major R. R. Wright, the president of the college, the one a white man, the other a black man, which should typify the cordial relation which should exist among the races. "I fear we shall long be dead before a generation having better perspective than we have will give these two men their just deserts in the kind of work they have done this quarter of a century. What it means not merely for Savannah, not merely for Georgia, not merely for the south, but for our common country in the working out of its vexing problems, only the historian will be able to justly tell." A fine feature of the commencement was the program by the students of the literary department, who presented Shakespeare's "Merchant of Venice" to a crowded house. The Hon. James Weldon Johnson, former consul to Nicaragua, delivered the main address to the literary societies. On commencement day proper the principal address was delivered by Right Rev. B. J. Kelley, Catholic bishop of Savannah. In referring to the complimentary introduction of the bishop by President Wright the bishop said that he was against lawlessness, lynching and every phase of injustice practiced against the Negro and would be as long as he lived. He further said: "I admit, and the admission shames me, that the colored people of the south have not been treated by the whites always as justice and Christianity demand, and this recognition imposes upon me the duty of reparation as far as lies in my power, and I have never allowed an opportunity to pass without a statement by me of my feelings in this matter. We are living side by side in this glorious republic, and it is our duty in our daily lives to exemplify those virtues on which the stability of our country depends. Without justice, charity and forbearance no American spirit is possible." Professor Otis Ashmore of Savannah delivered diplomas to the forty-eight graduates. The alumni association presented to the school an oil painting of President Wright, which was unveiled by two little children. It was the work of a colored artist, J. H. Adams. Starting from almost nothing, the Georgia State Industrial college in twenty-five years has grown from a little school with only eight pupils to an educational center with an enrollment of more than 500. The enrollment for the past year was 562, representing ninety-four counties. In 1891 the school began with three buildings, and since that time fifteen new buildings have been erected, making eighteen in all.

Lithe and supple my limbs as the sinuous serpent, And quick as the eye and the tongue of the serpent mine anger That flashed out the fire of my hate on the scorn of my scorners But hate soon softened to love, as fire into sunlight When my eyes met the eyes of the chieftain, my lord and my THE DENVER BARBERS' SUPPLY COMPANY LOTZ & KAHRHOFF 1527 GLENARM ST.

I bowed my head with its woe to him in my anguish; I velled my face in my hair like the night of my sorrow; And I plead with, him there by the love that was true and forgiving Oh! my lord and my love, by the days that are past of our loving, Oh! slay thy poor Saki, but send her not forth in her anguish!

And I turned me, and left them there in their foolish love and their slumber With a pent-up hunger of hate that maddened to burst from its sluices, And came to a place on the plain far up and out from the village. Where tethered in rows of hurdles, champing and restless and neigh- ing Half a thousand horses were herded under the night. Ha! ha! I live it anew, I dream it again in my madness. I see that moving ocean of shimmering flanks in the moonlight: I snatch a brand from a watchfire that smoulders and dwindles: I creep around to the side of the herd remote from the village: I cry, a low call, that is answered by a neigh and a whinny: Then I leap to the back of an ebon stallion that knows me. 'Tis but the cut of a thong, a cry in the night, A flery waving brand like lightning to thunder. Everybody who visits Larimer St. knows that their visit is not complete until they have stopped in and been entertained by the high class pictures of the Grand theatre. They just try to satisfy and please everybody. You are always welcome. THE STAR IS THE ONLY NEGRO REPUBLICAN NEWSPAPER IN COLORADO.

PHONE CHAMPA 2962 Clamors from heaven to hell in its terrible vengeance With neck outstretched and mad eyes agleam in the moonlight, I see on ahead the sleeping huts in the moonlight. Ha! ha! they will rest well under the sleep that we bring them! See, see, we are nearing them now; the first wild thundering hoof beats Have ridden them down, 'mid the shrieking and groanings of anguish. Blotting them out with their loves and their hates into blackness. Ha! ha! ride, ride, my beauties, my terrible tramplers! Pound, pound into dust the mother, the child and the husband! Pound, pound to the pulse of my hate that exults in your thunders! Ha! Over the little ones nestled to suckle the bosom; Trampling, treading them down out into silence and blackness, Like the swirl of a merciless storm we sweep on to darkness forever! And now, when the moon is in heaven, and under the night Is heard on the winds the thunder of shadowy horses, Then out of the dark I arise, and again am a woman; And leap to the back of an ebon steed that knows me, And hound him on in the wake of hoofs that thunder; While under the mirk and the moon, out into the blackness, Round the world's edge with an eerie, mad echoling laughter. Leaps the long cry of the hate of the wild snake-woman. Ha! ha! it is joy for the hearts that we crush as we thunder! Ho! ho! for the hate of the winds that laugh to my laughter! Ha! ha! it is well for the shriekings that pass into silence, As under the night, out into the darkness forever, Rides the wild hate of Saki, the mad snake-woman!

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. SCOTT TROLLEY RIDE. Mesdames Emma Davis, Albert Dorsey, S.

Lift As We Climb The Sun Shine Club desires to place on record its solemn protest against the actions of the State Federation of Women's Club, held in Colorado Spgaa recently, as reported in the Denver Star, June 24th, in so far as it related to and is an attempt to reflect upon the character of the Ex-Treasurer. The Treasurer of the Federation has been a worthy, valued and consistent member of the Sun Shine club for 8 years and is well known, not only to the club, but to the community generally, for honesty and business integrity. The so-called vote of censure could only have been considered in a spirit of injustice and was unwarranted, to say the least of it, and was by no means unanimous. Said Treasurer's Report having been duly received, was duly audited and duly accepted by the Federation before money constitutionally withheld was made payable to that body and the communication concerning said report was also couched in polite language.
