Denver Star

The papers formerly known as The Statesman and The independent, have been merged into The Denver Star NEGRO WOMEN LEADING OUT. Colored Women O. K Hughes for President at Baltimore. Already in this State Denver women and Colorado Springs women of color have begun active political activities, in securing just and fair recognition for women from not only a National standpoint, but from a local view point also. In Colorado Springs the women formed themselves into a club for the purpose of aiding the Anthony Amendment Committee. E. B. Butler was elected president; Maggie Carter, vicepresident, and M. C. Ferguson, secretary. Denver has its strong organization of women, with Isabelle Stewart, as its president. Not only have our local and state Race women shown work and progress, but The National Federation of Colored Women's Clubs in Baltimore, Md., have adopted strong resolutions supporting the Federal Suffrage Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, and endorsed the Hon. Chas. E. Hughes for President. We will let the Evening Star of Washington tell the story- Resolutions endorsing the candidacy of Charles Evans Hughes for President were adopted at the tenth biennial convention of the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs at Baltimore last week. The convention opened last Sunday, continuing with morning and evening sessions until Thursday evening. Mrs. Booker T, Washington presided at all sessions. Mrs. Mary B. Talbert of Buffalo was chosen president for the ensuing two years. Other resolutions adopted at the convention urged clubs of colored women to become familiar with laws of the various states and communities regarding sanitation and the improvement of general health condition; indorsed the child labor bill now pending in Congress, urged the submission of the so-called Susan B. Anthony equal suffrage amendment to the Constitution, and recommended the enactment of a uniform divorce law. The convention denounced all forms of discrimination in traveling based on consideration of color, styling such laws as operative in several states "awrong, a disgrace and an indignity upon one-tenth of the most loyal citizens of this country. The proposal of the Nation al Memorial Association to erect a monument in Washington in honor of Negro soldiers and sailors who have fought in all of the country's The Denver Star ESTABLISHED 1888 wars was indorsed and all the clubs in the association were urged to support the movement. The resolutions also recommended the preparation of a master petition to be presented to the President and to Congress protesting against lynchings and demanding justice before the law for colored men as well as for whites. The resolutions concluded with an expression of regret and acknowledgment of loss in the death of Booker T. Washington. A prominent New York woman Mary B. Talbot, of Buffalo was elected to succeed Mrs. Booket T. Washington as president, the latter being ineligible. She has served two successive terms. Among the noteworthy things done during the session was the agreement to lift the $400 mortgage on the home of Frederick Douglass at Anacosting, D. C. This will not only make the mansion the headquarters of the women, but preserve it as a memorial to the anti-slavery orator. The new officers are: Mrs. Mary Talbert, Buffalo, N. Y., president, Miss Ida Cummings Baltimore, vice-president t, Miss Georgia A. Nugent, Kentuck, corresponding, secretary Miss Roberta Dunbar, Providence, R. I., first recording secretary, Mrs. Charlottte Brown, South Carolina, second recording secretary, Mrs. Theresa Macon, Chicago. third recording secretary, Mrs Ida Joyce Jackson, Columbus, O., chairman of the executive board, Mrs. Victoria Haley, St. Louis, Mo., organizer, Mrs Frances Keyser, Florida, chairman ways and means committee, Mrs. Helen Wilkinson, South Carolina, parliamentarian, Miss Mary V. Paris, Kentucky, statistician, Mrs. J. C. Napier, Tennessee, auditor and Mrs. Mary Evans, Indiana, chaplain. The next session for the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs will be held in Denver, Colorado in 1918. This selection was due largely to the influence of our president of the Colorado and Jurisdiction, Mrs.J.P.Watson of Pueblo. Hurrah for Denver. Everybody get ready get ready for the big event. Thanks to Mrs. Watson Where will this lead the pastor and congregation, to, because if it is necessary now for them to do this it will be equally necessary two years hence and so on, until you will make the church a meeting place for politicans and their pet schemes, with the pastor, as chief dictator. The Ministers Alliance can go on record on "The beer amendment" but from their pulpits do you hear discussed the "evils of lynching, burning of Negroes" and segregation etc. by those liberty-loving, law-abiding, justice-seeking Ministers? The Ministers line up with Carlson today whom will it be two years from now? As a Nicholson admirer, we do not think the Ministers should pollute their sacred duties with mingling soul saving with vote getting. To our old way of thinking they wont mix. We feel quite sure that there is no way that Gov. Carlson can be placed before the Negroes, that the Negroes will swallow him. WOMAN WHO TAUGHT NEGRO CHILDREN. DEAD. Cedar Rapids, Ia. — Miss Esther Douglass, one of the first white women to leave the north and go south to teach Negro children, died here at the Home for Aged Women, in her ninety-second year. Sam D. Nicholson is a strong man mentally and physically and we wonder if the Ministers do not know that the first prerequisite to success is a strong mind in a strong body. Does Mr. Carlson possess these essentials? Let those who know answer. So again the Star says let the master build er and captain of industry take over this State by you first registering at the Court House and then voting for Sam Nicholson Sept. 12 at the primaries. Vote Nicholson or Nothing. She was born in Hanover, Mass, June 12, 1824, and went as a missionary to the Carolinas a year before the war ended. For more than thirty years, and until her health failed, she labored among the Negro Children. SHOOTING AT THE MARK RACE NEWS DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, AUG. 26, 1916 MINISTERS PLAY POLITICS. MINISTERS PLAY POLITICS. Leaders Must Know their Business. Nicholson Grows Stronger on Dry Platform. An Appeal to Bring Churches Into Politics. In the present temper of the American mind the Negro is confined to a separate social area which makes it necessary that his needs should be met by the professional class of his own race. Thus the Negro teacher, minister, physician, lawyer and editor became a social necessity, hence the importance of the Negro college and ministry to train men and women of this blood to the higher offices to which their destiny calls them. Just in proportion as the spirit of racial segregation increases, the demand for internal leadership becomes intensified. No race, even thru its most sacrificing members can furnish intimate direction for a despised people, where general regulation compel them to ride in separate coaches and to walk the streets apart, and to move in separate social spheres. There is a desperate and extremely frantic effort being made on the part of the Ministerial Alliance (white) to nominate Gov. Carlson. The Star claims that in this campaign "prohibition" is not an issue; in fact Colorado has no prohibition laws. We have our last amendment to the State Constitution which merely closed our saloons and made it impossible for us to buy, sell manufacture, barter, give away, etc. liquors or any intoxicating beverages under a heavy penalty but a way was provided for liquor to be brought into this State for personal use. Now when the Hon. Sam D. Nicholson and his resolution Committee and State Assembly go on record in favoring the utter shutting off of all importation of liquor in this State making Colorado more dry, The Star cannot see why the Ministerial Alliance could not pat Mr. Nicholson on the back and give him at least encouragement for the position he has taken favorable to the cause of temperance. It seems to us that justice and fairness would dictate that course, but they are bent on the object and that is, to nominate Mr Carlson. The Ministers have gotten down off the high place held so sacred by the Lowly Nazarene and have rolled up their sleeves to go in to politics right. They advise to preach about Carlson, use their churches for Carlson and have even had the audacity to step into the Republican party and advise all Republicans to vote for Carlson. Women and men of Colorado is not this down right politics and church mixing up? Will you follow your pastor in politics which leads to fusion, confusion and personal animosities merely to nominate a man to whom they feel kindly? It will be generally conceded that professional workers should have about the same degree of education, regardless of the social advantages of the people among whom they will be called to labor. There devolves upon the leadership of this race the handling of issues which are as far reaching in their relations and as intricate in their entanglement as any that has taxed the human understanding. Surely, they need that kind and degree of preparation for their calling which have been found to be necessary by the experience of the ages. The function of the Negro College is to prepare the choice men of this race to stand in high places of moral and spiritual authority as guides, philosophers and friends to their less fortunate brethren. For Want of Vision People Perish, as well as for want of provision. The blind cannot lead the blind, lest both fall into the ditch:— Kelly Miller. How much more it must take for one unqualified to attempt to lead 15,000 Negroes!! How easy is it to pat such a vapid, spine less, crying Negro on the back, tell him he is a big man to see him 'peacock and strut' and then be used as a catspaw to divide the Negro, so as to defeat the just and legitimate claims of the Negro vote! Sometimes politicians take just such a class to use against you. You can't agree, you divide and hence defeat is yours after victory. But these pets always get jobs for their treachery. Was it just as necessary years ago for Ministers of the gospel to elect Sheriffs, Attorney Generals and District Attorneys who would enforce the laws as it is now? Does the fact that we had added one more Constitutional Amendment to our State Constitution cause such an extra responsibility upon the Ministers, and other people who love to see all the laws enforced and not a special few or a favorite law as to cause politics to be brought in church under the name and guise of law enforcement? Don't you see that when the churches go to nominating sheriffs, governors and other officers that they are rivaling the duties of the political parties? How long will the Negroes of Colorado stand for this? Negroes do not let any kind of agitation cause you to over look your registering, nor cause you to forget the slights and insults given you by Carl the Denver Star FIVE CENTS A COPY. RACE NEWS Savannah, Ga.—The Savannah Union Station was ablack paradise today, when nearly 1,100 Colored laborers, ranging in age from 21 to 45 years started for Philadelphia on two special trains. They are to work along the lines of the Pennsylvania railroad. A crowd of 2,500 relatives and friends crowded in to the station and down to the train shed to see them off. Policemen had some difficulty in restraining the crowd which surged up against the gates when they were opened to admit those who were to board trains. Herein lies a future problem for Pennsylvania. What is she doing to meet it? Paduca,h Ky.—After searching all day for a Negro murderer, police and detectives were astonished late one evening when Will R. Johnson, alias Stovall, alias Thompson, a white man, surrendered at police headquarters as the slayer of Orilla Singleton, a Negro woman, 30 years old, whose head was cut almost off by Johnson. Johnson says he does not know why he killed her. His story indicates jealosy was the cause. The woman was slain in the home of Charles Lunday a grocer. Johnson says he has a wife and child in Helena, Ark. He formerly lived in Corondelet, a suburb of St. Louis. He admitted he loved the Negro woman. Washington, D. C.,—The National Colored Citizenship Rights Congress, proposed and called by the National Equal rights League, will be held, Secretary William Munroe Trotter announces at Washington, D. C., on Sept. 18 and 19, immediately following the B. M. C. session there Steubenville, O.,—Charles D. Irvin, of this city, has just invented certain new and useful improvements in skimmers for blast furnaces. This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in skimmers and troughs for blast furnaces and the invention has for its primary object the provision of novel means for conveying the residue of a skimmer trough to moulds or laddes, thereby dispensing with a side gate heretofore used in a trough for removing the residue and forming pigs or pieces o iron. son. We learn by rumor that if Carlson is defeated at the primaries that he will run independently, attempting to disrupt the Republican party. It is a fight to the last ditch. Prepare ye the way and do not be mislead. Let us now join hands and down Wilson, Carlsonism and Jim Crowism. Take up the cause, let minor matters have your least attention.

In speaking of the growth and niceds of the institution re- cently Mr. Blair xays: “Some time ago one of our citizens tendered the trustees $5,000 provided they would raise name amount for a hospital for the sick and where colored girls could be educated for trained nurses, thus introducing an employ- ment for colored women which is pe- cullarly well adapted to the south. “His offer was accepted, and we have built the hospital The gradu- ates, students and friends of the school did much of the manual labor. “The state officials, seeing the good effects upon the colored people, offered the school $12,000, provided the trustees raised the same amount. We lave made a strong effort and have raised a small part of this amount to meet the offer of the state. It {x totally hupos- sible for un to raise it here. as our own people have niready done all they can do; hence we are appealing to the friends of education in all rections of the country for financial aid. “The state has generously advaaced money, and we beg you to please do your utmost to help raise $12,000. ‘Thus, with $24,000 cash in hand, we can increase the plant greatly, as the colored people will do much ef the manual labor free. “The state has jut completed a $15.- 000 dormitory for giris at its own ex- penne. Every dollar now means $4 to the school." It 1s suggested that subscriptions of $1 each be sent to Mr. Blair, care of the People’s National bank, Wiaston- Salem, N. C.

C. SIMMONS. Candidate From Tenth Louisville (Ky.) Ward For State Legislature—Popular Orater and Writer and Leading Member Knights of Pythias. THE NEW YORKER Colonel Braceo Conkling Simmons, as his friend like to call him, is well and favorably known throughout the country. As a resident of Louisville, Ky., he is held in high esteem by members of both races. He takes an active part in movements for the betterment of the race and is regarded in Louisville as a man of substantial worth to the leadership of the colored people of Louisville and vicinity. Not many years ago when Colonel Simmons was residing at Memphis, Tenn., where he was the editor of the Sun, a report was circulated from Chicago to the effect that Mr. Simmons was dead. The report caused the editor and his friends much annoyance. A solicitous friend in the east wrote to the colonel to know if the report of his death was true and if so kindly send particulars. Colonel Simmons answered his friend, stating that he was yet alive and that there were no particulars. As an orator and writer Mr. Simmons takes high rank, and his services are in constant demand. At a recent gathering of the Knights of Pythias Colonel Simmons delivered a most eloquent address. The Albany (Ga.) Herald, one of the leading papers published by the white people of that section, in referring to the meeting and the colonel's speech under the caption "Leading Orator Speaks" in part said: "The feature of the morning session of the grand lodge was the address delivered by Colonel Roscoe C. Simmons of Louisville, Ky. The auditorium of the church was packed almost to suffocation. The delegates stood three deep in the aisles. Succeeding to the place long held by his uncle, Booker T. Washington, as the chief orator of his race, Colonel Simmons is not only the most popular Pythian, but perhaps the most popular public character among the colored people. "Here we are side by side," he said, 'white-and black alike. We came by plan beyond us all to people the world's first democracy, the only pure republic the world has ever known. Home of religions and art, science and learning, seat of history's select government, we build on ragged kings and prostrate thrones." "Colonel Simmons made an appeal to the Negro to remain patriotic. Often he could not speak for the applause, 'Stand ready for the flag,' he said, 'that will some day stand up for you and all.' "In a line burst or eloquence he said: 'We belong to a race that knows no other name than American. No hyphen bridges our love or makes a minus sign to our loyalty. We speak the language of our country and know no other tongue. We know but one flag, and that is the flag that set us free.' "His tribute to Georgia and Booker T. Washington brought cheer after cheer. At the conclusion of his oration the grand lodge surrounded him." Colonel Simmons is to the supreme lodge, Knights of Pythias, what Mark Hanna was to the Republican party and regarded as one of the most popular Pythians in the country. The colonel is a candidate for the Kentucky legislature from the Tenth ward of Louisville, and there is every indication to show that the man who wins will have to be bent "Roscoe." 2442 Washington Street Phone York 8771-W/ COLORED AMERICANS IN WAR. Miss L. E. Wilkes Tells of Their Service to Our Country. Miss L. E. Wilkes of the Washington public schools is meeting with genuine success in her lecture tour in the south this summer. She expects to deliver a series of lectures in New York in the early fall. Miss Wilkes' principal lecture is entitled "Missing Pages In American History," being a collection of facts dealing with the defensive service of colored Americans from 1641 to 1814. It is not in any sense a discussion of the race problem, but pure history, citing many laws for the enlistment of slaves as well as free men during the above mentioned period and recounting also tales of personal heroism. The writer has spent three years in a diligent search for this matter and feels she has much to increase race pride and self esteem as well as a great source of inspiration to the Negro youth. In the excerpts the services of black men are not set aside, but so linked with the general history of the country as to make the information of real value as well as extremely interesting. Some of the things worth remembering from the reading are that Negroes were set free as early as 1712 for military services in the Tuscarora war in North and South Carolina. They helped the Dutch fight Indians in New Amsterdam in 1641. Colored men served in the French and Indian war. They assisted Wayne in the capture of Stony Point in 1779. Large numbers of colored men were employed at the guns in the battles of Lake Erie and Lake Champlain. President Andrew Jackson attributed the death wound of the English commander Pakenham to a bullet fired by a famous rifle shot, a free man of color in the battle of New Orleans. The whole collection of facts of history by Miss Wilkes makes a valuable contribution to American military history. ALL METHODISTS UNITE IN BIG FINANCIAL CAMPAIGN Two Million Dollars is the Amount to Be Raised by January, 1918. After a half century of educational effort for the freedmen by the Methodist Episcopal church and other religious denominations colored people are now making big efforts themselves. The four divisions of African Methodism, representing 1,816,684 members, are co-operating in a united effort to raise $2,000,000, or a little more than $1 a member, for education. They expect to raise this amount by Jan. 1, 1918, the slogan for the campaign being, "One dollar per member." In the past four year period these churches have raised a little less than 50 cents a member, or 12½ cents a year, so that the new goal means multiplying former giving by six. In the past twenty years the African Methodist Episcopal churches affiliated with the Methodist Episcopal Church North increased their annual benevolence collections from $33,672 to $90,559 and their annual receipts for current expenses from $755,304 to $1,413,272. This is the record of a membership of 351,952, or, roughly, one-sixth of all the African Methodists. The African Methodist Episcopal church, the African Methodist Episcopal Zion church and the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church In America, in co-operation with the colored people in the Methodist Episcopal Church North, have set themselves a worthy goal. The churches have gained a self respect as they have become self supporting. Now, if they can take over the support of the institutions of learning, which for fifty years have been maintained as a patriotic charity by the white Christians of America, they will have taken a new and a long step toward full citizenship. First slaves then freedmen, then wards, the Negroes are now approaching the final goal of any race—full self support and self control. DEFENDERS OF THE FLAG. Why Colored Americans Should Con- and Fund Equity Restoration tend For Equal Legal Protection. Some one has said that courage is one of the greatest factors in the struggle of a nation, race or individual in the accomplishment of a given cause, end or object. Therefore the colored race in America should exercise both courage and persistence in its efforts to maintain its citizenship rights, especially when the race has the co-operation of so many thoughtful and fair minded white Americans. It is interesting also to note in this connection the patriotic desire of members of the race to serve the nation. Since the call for volunteers in the present Mexican uprising fully 3,000 colored men have enlisted, ready to defend the nation's honor. Surely the race in return is entitled to the equal protection of the law against lynching and all other forms of injustice along with other citizens of our common country. AMERICAN THRIFT AIDS LIBERIANS Notable Work of Minister Curtis at Monrovia. HONORS HIS PREDECESSORS Leadership of Our Representative at Capital of Little West African Republic Has a Beneficent Effect Upon the Natives—Mrs. Curtis Interested in Social and Educational Affairs. Monrovia, Liberia.—The Hon. James L. Curtis, American minister here, is succeeding admirably in his work at the American legation. He is a man of broad and constructive ideas and is giving the inhabitants of this little republic the benefit of his experience and knowledge of human affairs. Minister and Mrs. Curtis are both enjoying good health and are active in social service work among the people. Mrs. Curtis volunteered some time ago to teach corset and dress making in the college of Liberla, and her efforts have been highly successful. Besides teaching regular classes of students, Mrs. Curtis gives instruction to teachers in other departments of the institution. She is a woman of splendid tact, having had considerable experience in club work among the women of America. Minister Curtis has endeared himself to the people of the west coast by his patriotism and zeal for the cause of his government, whose interest he at all times seeks to enhance. On Memorial day the exterior of the American legation was literally covered with American flags in honor of the nation's dead. The American colony in Monrovia observed Memorial day with elaborate ceremonies, which began with a march to the new cemetery, which was led by a detachment of the Liberian frontier force under command of Lieutenant Webster. Arriving at the cemetery, the American minister led the way to a spot through thick underbrush, recently cleared, where he pointed to the remnants of two dilapidated headstones, not more than fifteen feet apart, which he told those present marked the graves of Henry Highland Garnett and W. A. Hopkins, American ministers, who died and were buried in Monrovia in the early eighties and whose graves had been so neglected that their location was unknown to the oldest inhabitant. Minister Curtis exhibited an age colored map which, after a search of several months, he had secured, showing a tree and a path which made certain the identification of the graves. Mr. Curtis then asked that every one join in singing "America," after which he spoke of the life and character of his deceased predecessors. He spoke with great feeling of Henry Highland Garnett, who, like himself, was a graduate of Lincoln university, Pennsylvania, and concluded his remarks by reciting Bryant's "Thanatopists." The graves of the late Mrs. Lyon, wife of former Minister Ernest Lyon, Captain Newton of the Liberian frontier force and James G. B. Lee, the late Brooklyn surveyor, were also profusely decorated with flowers, and at the head of each grave a small American flag was left flying to the breezes. Beautiful copper headpieces, properly inscribed, donated and shipped by Major Charles Young, were placed at the graves of Captain Newton and Mr. Lee. After the ceremony the buglers from the Liberian frontier force blew "taps," and the firing squad fired "taps," which brought to a close the ceremonies of the day. Minister Curtis, it is said, has secured the necessary consent and in the near future proposes removing the bodies of the two dead ministers to the spot recently conveyed to the American legation by Major Charles Young, which is the most conspicuous as well as the most desirable spot in the cemetery. NATIONAL RACE CONGRESS. Widespread Interest In the Proposed Meeting, Says a Virginia Paper. The Richmond (Va.) Planet indorses the call for a national congress of colored Americans. The Planet says: Widespread interest is being shown in the proposal made by Rev. Byron Gunner, president of the National Equal Rights league; that the colored people hold a national race congress and get together on their civil and political rights and disabilities. In the tentative call the Rev. Mr. Gunner, from Hillburn, N. Y., advises that his get together meeting be held within sixty days at some central location in the north. The secretary of the league, William Monroe Trotter, joins in urging the congress and asks leaders in each community to form equal rights committees and arrange meetings to send representation. An exchange of views on the project is invited, the secretary's address being 27 Cornhill, Boston. Preaching Gospel of Co-operation. Some of the ministers of our race at Saranah, Ga., are co-operating with the Local Negro Business league by preaching sermons based upon the importance of supporting race enterprises.

MAN WITHOUT FOLLOWING. Ordinarily we would not notice the mouthy vaporings of a man or a woman who owns neither a bank account, nor land, nor who has no responsibility resting upon his or her shoulders; but coming upon so soon after the "Birth of a Nation," F. W. W.'s favorite play and because the Post that never gives an inch to laudable affairs of Negroes and yet gave a whole page to matters of inconsequence and indifference concerning an agitator and his pet African scheme, The Star feels it its duty to deny that it is, was or ever has been the dream of our noble and historical race to marry white men or women or worship a white shrine, even if Nash Walker does. We do not know whether this article is part of the scheme following "Birth of a Nation" to make a favorable impression for the "Jim Crow" agitation concerning Negroes living in segregated districts. If it is so, then Nash Walker and Frank W. White, each played his part well. Notice the coincidence in time and action. In Sunday's "Denver Pest" the paper with "hart and jistice" there was a published interview by F. W. White, an arch Negro hater, coming from the lips of J. N. Walker supposedly. Speaking about the colonization scheme in Africa, it said: "But hasn't the scheme been tried and proved a failure?" I asked. "Not at all; rather, so far as it has gone, it has proved a decided success. There are now in Africa many thousands of our race who formerly lived here, who are enjoying life and prosperity under a government of their own." "Do your people generally favor the idea?" "No, generally they do not. There is the trouble. They recognize that they are a subject race, but their dream is that they shall be ultimately absorbed by the whites. They have succeeded pretty well. You see today many more mullatores than real negroes. The full-blooded black is in the minority. The partly colored man hopes to go on until he shall be wholly white. He has already tainted the blood—if you can call it so—of your race, a circumstance that means a terrible condition, fraught with sorry possibilities, for my people as well as yours, because in this steadily growing miscegenation the black has absorbed more of the vices than the virtues of the whites." We could challenge "F. W. W." for direct proof of the above assertion, based upon facts, but to one who is unacquainted with scientific data, racial research and the like, such mouthings amount to nothing. "F. W. W." QUOTES but never ASSERTS the above as facts. When any race man says that the DREAM—dream, mind you—of the WHOLE NEGRO RACE is to be bleached white by the bastardy route, or to marry white women or white men, he is too ignorant to pay any attention to, for he do not know that he is telling something that is not so, at the same time slandering his race, stabbing Negro virtue and ambition and spitting in the face of Negro manhood, womanhood and racial consciousness. Every Negro in Denver knows Nash Walker and knows how hard he has worked to go to Africa and the places of his headquarters. The cunning design and secret thrust given by a Negro hater like F. W. W., who has charge of a publication used to poison the mind of the public, is evident to all. This is only characteristic of the "Post," the paper of the "hart and sole." --- $2.00 1.00 .50 with rate, all subscriptions must be paid h. ars sent to subscribers are lost or stolen, over when due, inform us by postal card cate of the missing number.

The Star thinks that it is its duty to call attention of the Negro Woman's Club association to the fact that they are collecting money in small and large amounts from the public and the public has a right to know whether this money is reported to the treasury and by whom. The donors have a right to see their names in print. Business is business, and business principle applies to their organization just the same as to any other society. We are surprised that announcement has not been made as to who is, was or has been authorized to collect funds. Remember, club women, every woman's honor, honesty and confidence is held responsible for the acts of any woman who might "forget" to report the correct amount of money. People get confused so easily with other folks' money. Denver, Colo., Aug. 23rd. To The Denver Star, www.denverstar.com The daily papers of August 22, and more especially the Denver Post, gave publicity to a movement on the part of certain realty agents and prejudiced citizens, to bring about residential segregation in the city of Denver. For some time it has been known that there was a strong under-current of sentiment brewing and it was brought to a rapid head when some Negroes purchased a home recently at 23rd and Ogden St. This giant spectre of segregation has been rearing its head in many of the largest cities of the country recently and it is not surprising that Denver should be an object of its greed. But the sponsors and backers of this despicable movement might as well know now as later that this proposed ordinance will NEVER become a law without a fight and a good one at that. And if, by any chance it should become a law they will still have a fight on their hands before it is put in effect. The Negroes of Denver and Colorado are not yet ready to surrender all their rights. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has successfully fought the segregation laws of Louisville and Baltimore through all the courts and only recently came out victorious before the U. S. Supreme Court. There has been a new hearing granted however and this we must also fight but with every hope of success. The Denver Local of the National Association will do its full duty in this matter and the Negroes of this city and state who have so loyally supported us may rest assured that we will meet this segregation ordinance at every angle absolutely, unfinchingly and unafraid. BOILING IN THE POLITICAL POT When everything was serene and quiet and not a stir was witnessed, one certain messenger at the state capitol, in Thursday's Republican assembly, in a maniacal shriek and foolish grin on his face, yelled right out, startling everybody, "Hurrah for Carlson! Hurrah for Carlson!" Hurrah for Carlson!!!" Chairman Hamlin positively told the Negro messenger that he was among ladies and gentlemen and if he did not desist his bolderous conduct he would be put out. Think of this four-fluishing Negro trying to stampede the convention for Carlson! Negroes, he poses as your leader. It is up to you to act. The following is a full list of the candidates in the order in which they were designated by the assembly for the primary election: Governor—Samuel D. Nicholson, George A. Carlson.

National Association Making Strong Fight to Bring Perpetrators of Horrible Crime to Trial—Miss Freeman Shows Courage—Brooklyn Contributes $103.41 to Anti-lynching Fund. Brooklyn.—One of the most successful meetings ever held in this city under the auspices of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People took place at the Concord Baptist church on Thursday evening, Aug. 3. The object of the meeting was to inform the public of the facts relative to the recent lynching at Waco, Tex., of one Jesse Washington, a colored boy of seventeen, on a charge of murder, and to raise funds to assist the association in its efforts to bring the lynchers to trial. N. B. Dodson presided and in his introductory address commended the work of the association and urged the A. MISS ELIZABETH FREEMAN. audience to give its hearty co-operation to the object of the evening. We do not meet as anarchists or undue alarmists, he said, but as peaceable citizens exercising the right of protest against wrong and the privilege of petition to the powers that be to grant relief. Continuing, the speaker referred to the Waco lynching as a noonday luncheon with bits of human flesh and bones as table decorations for 1,500 citizens of Waco, with the dead victim as the only colored person present and who was there against his consent. While the meeting was enthusiastic, an atmosphere of disgust and seriousness seemed to pervade every heart. The contribution to the fund amounted to $103.41. Thoughtful addresses were made by Miss Elizabeth Freeman, the young Englishwoman who made the Waco investigation for the national association; Owen M. Waller, M. D., one of Brooklyn's foremost citizens; Rector George Frasier Miller, well known advocate for equal justice for the race, and the Rev. E. R. Artist, whose brief address was warmly applauded. Miss Freeman gave a full account of her investigations of the Waco lynching. She said in part: "When I saw the sheriff (Fleming) he had a beautiful story to tell. He had his story fixed up so that the entire responsibility was shifted on the judge. The judge admitted he could have had a change of venue, but said the mob anywhere would have done the same thing. "The crowd began pouring into the town the day before the lynching occurred. The courtroom was packed full, and a crowd of 2,000 was on the outside. The jurors could scarcely get in and out from their seats. I asked the judge if he could not have cleared the courtroom, and he answered that I did not know the south. I said, 'If a person is big enough he can get up and stop the biggest mob.' "I went over the route the boy had been taken and saw that they dragged him between a quarter and a half a mile from the courthouse to the bridge and then dragged him up two blocks and another block over to the city hall. "The naked boy was stabbed and the chain put over the tree. He tried to get away, but could not. He reached up to grab the chain, and they cut off his fingers. A big man struck the boy on the back of the neck with a knife just as they were pulling him up on the tree. He was lowered into the fire several times by means of the chain around his neck. "The tree where the lynching occurred was right under the mayor's window. Mayor Dollins was not concerned about what they were doing to the boy, but that the tree would be destroyed. The chief of police also witnessed the lynching. The names of five of the leaders of the mob are known to this association and can be had on application by responsible parties."

Dear Mr. Editor: I wish to make the following statement to your paper: Some months ago I was asked to serve as treasurer of a fund to be used in purchasing artificial limbs for Mr. Alonzo Parham, a cripple at the County hospital. Upon investigation it was found that the two legs needed would cost $200.00. The Gaines-Erb Co. submitted a proposition to supply the two legs with a guarantee to make subject walk, for the above named sum and subscribed $50.00 toward the fund. A white friend agreed to contribute $75.00, leaving $75.00 to be raised. In answer to appeals made, I wish to gratefully acknowledge the following amounts received: Pond Lily Art Club. $18.05 Sunshine Club. 11.00 Shorter Chapel. 10.70 Taka Art Club. 5.00 Mr. and Mrs. Brooks. 1.00 Carnation Art. 5.00 Woman's League. 1.00 Self Improvement Club. 5.00 Total cash in hand. $56.05 Leaving a balance of $18.95 still to be raised. It is hoped that this remainder will be raised within the next few days and the order placed with the company.

Mrs. Hall is well known in Denver and Colorado Springs, where she spent five days after leaving Denver. Mr. Hall is an energetic young man who, in his conversation concerning the Negroes' chances in the far West, said: "You see Negro machinists, helpers, train porters, red caps, janitors and in every branch of service on the Harriman lines (Union Pacific system). At Pocatello, Idaho, three matrons at the Union station with four porters, and on other parts of the system, Negro boilermakers, ice men, painters and auto truck men can be seen frequently. Ogden, Salt Lake City, Pocatello and nearly all the leading cities on the U. P. system have red caps. Denver is the only exception. Mrs. Harriman likes to see Negro red caps. There is a head car foreman with white men working for him in Idaho also." Mr. and Mrs. Hall will return to Salt Lake City where they will buy a home. Mrs. Hall was glad to see "old Denver" once again.

CITES CASE OF ERRING BOY Backwardness of Young Men to Make Ample Preparation For Career of Usefulness is Matter of Deep Concern—Mistake to Yield to Allurements of City Life. Albon Lowts Holsey, traveling representative for the National Negro Business league, tells the following story in connection with an interview which he recently had with an old lady whose nephew had tired of home surroundings and had taken up his residence in Chicago. After listening to the story of the old lady concerning her nephew for several minutes Mr. Holsey asked some pointed questions. "Where is your nephew, madam?" he asked. With a deep sigh and a slow shake of her head the old woman replied: "He's in Chicago working in some sort or pool hall." The old lady related how she had nursed this boy, who was the only child of Tildie, her youngest sister, and how after her sister's death she had educated this boy, with the hope that he would be a companion to her in her old age. But he would not forsake State street, in Chicago, for the simple life in a small southern town. This elderly woman owned eighty acres of rich farm land and about twenty rent houses in the city, which was a thriving southern town. With tears in her eyes she said: "I can't get this boy to come here and look after my affairs, and when I die I's afeared, that the white folks is a-going to gitt all my property. I wanted Walter to come and look after my farm and my rents, but he will not leave the big city." The good friend who introduced me to this interesting old woman remarked as we left the place: "Here is a golden opportunity being wasted by a young colored man. That property is worth every bit of $40,000 and brings in an income of several thousand dollars a year." "Does the young man ever come here to see her?" I asked. "Oh, yes. Whenever he gets broke he comes home and talks the old lady out of a couple of hundred dollars and then hikes back to Chicago. Why, do you know that she is going to leave him all of that property when she dies, and she is down now with an inebriable aliment. What do you suppose is the matter with our young men anyway?" That is the one question that is confronting the race today. Everywhere one goes the question is asked. "What are our young men doing to prepare themselves to take the places of the older men and women in business?" In church, in school and in social service the young men are either absent or outnumbered by the young women of the race when it comes to real substantial service in too many instances. During my tour of the south and southwest recently in the interest of the National Negro Business league it was a matter of very deep concern to me that so few young men were present at the Business league meetings, says Mr. Holsey. The older men, by reason of the keen competition which they experience in business, realize the importance of race co-operation and business efficiency and responded generously with their time and efforts to make these meetings a success, while it was only in rare instances that the young men could be persuaded to take an active part. It was therefore a source of great inspiration to me to meet Colonel Roscoe Conkling Simmons at Louisville, Ky., recently. Of course every one knows Roscoe Simmons, but to see him as he is today one must visit Louisville and let the citizens tell you how much he is loved and honored in the place which he now calls home. "Colonel Simmons is an institution," says one. "Colonel Simmons helped Louisville to find itself," says another, and so it goes. White and colored people alike admire him for his rare ability as an orator and love him for his charity. He is genuinely popular and is a patient, hard working student of problems affecting our people. THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN ADVERTISE IN THE STAR AND LOOK PROSPEROUS.

Burton Ceruth at Los Angeles, CaL SAVES LIFE OF HIS CLIENT. Well Known California Attorney Receives High Compliment From Trial Judge In Recant Case of the People Against Thomas Miller In Town of Santa Barbara. BY CHARLES ALEXANDER. The Negro is making rapid progress in the profession of law on the Pacific coast. This is especially true in Los Angeles, in southern California. Some of the cases handled by our men recently have attracted national attention. One of the very unique cases lately tried in Santa Barbara, Cal., was that of Thomas Miller, a colored man who killed a white man in that city early in July, 1915. Thomas Miller was tried for murder in September, 1915, convicted and sentenced to be hanged. This man committed the deed while suffering a strange mental aberration, and while JOHN H. BURKE E. BURTON CERUTI, ESQ. he was awaiting execution in the state penitentiary Attorney E. Burton Ceruti of Los Angeles was induced to ask for a new trial. A new trial was granted, and Mr. Ceruti, without hope of reward for his effort, undertook to save the man's life from the gallows. It was clear to the attorney's friends that he was undertaking a hopeless task. Nevertheless, with a courage that is admirable and a devotion that is rare, Mr. Ceruti proceeded to defend the unfortunate man. Few men in the profession would have made such a great sacrifice of time and energy in behalf of a man in Miller's predicament. In order to do full justice to his client, Mr. Ceruti gave up his practice in Los Angeles for six weeks and gave himself unremittingly to the trial of Miller in the Santa Barbara court. He found his problem one of the most perplexing and difficult legal issues ever encountered in his experience. In the city of Santa Barbara he confronted antagonistic sentiment on every hand. There was no mercy to be shown his client. Both races were against him, and, while many colored and white citizens had remarked that Miller was crazy and irresponsible, not one person could be found to so declare before the court. The man at the bar has no friends in the courtroom. The opposition of the citizens of Santa Barbara served only to spur the attorney on to his greatest effort, and he proved himself both, a hero and humanitarian in his noble attempt to secure justice. Attorney Cerutti's big heart and big brains, moved by the most generous impulse, were taxed to ta Be Fair in 0 gro Colony[In th [Annual[Fair. of the settlers apt. 27 and 28, miss the op- t the numer- poultry and ed goods and served in the ed and other grounds at all hours Gov. Carlson Agricultural speakers have liver addressed Grounds f rest room for A cordial in all. the utmost, with the result that he finally won the victory of saving his client's life. It was almost impossible to secure a jury in the Miller case. Over 300 men from all parts of the county were called, and so great was the prejudice that but twelve out of that number could be accepted. One man, a prominent business factor in the city, declared that he believed Miller guilty because he was Negro. He implied that he believed that all Negroes are criminal. There developed in the case many dramatic situations and thrilling episodes, and, while the case proved to be the most expensive murder trial ever heard in Santa Barbara, the lawyers expressed themselves as highly gratified that they had been privileged to have contact with a colored lawyer of such marked ability and profound legal knowledge as Attorney Ceruti. The newspapers in Santa Barbara were generous in their comments, and the judges expressed their great satisfaction with the skillful manner in which Attorney Ceruti handled the case. It is considered that he won a great victory when he had the sentence reversed from death to life. George F. King Locates at Whitesboro. George F. King, well known newspaper correspondent and member of the National Negro Press association, has taken up his residence at Whitesboro. N. J. King was recently engaged to write a series of articles for some of the daily papers of Camden, N. J. Aside from his newspaper work, Mr. King devotes some time to truck gardening and poultry raising. MORRIS CALLS CONVENTION. President of National Baptist Organi- zation Issues Pointed Statement ATION ISSUES POINTED STATEMENT. The call for the annual meeting of the national Baptist convention, of which the Rev. Dr. Elias C. Morris is president, has been formulated, signed and issued by the Rev. Mr. Morris and Professor R. B. Hudson, secretary of the convention. It says: In compliance with the action taken by the national Baptist convention at its session held at Chicago in September, 1915, and an order by the executive board of that convention held at Memphis, Tenn., June 15-16 last, we hereby call the said convention to convene in its thirty-sixth anniversary meeting in the city of Savannah, Ga., Sept. 6 to 12. In view of the many rumors which have been circulated to the effect that there has been a split in the national Baptist convention and that there is another national Baptist convention (which rumor denies it is speculated that even New York church in the United States which believes in the unity of the Baptists and in maintaining one great national convention of Baptists be represented at the Savannah meeting. It is not expected that every one of the 20,000 churches will send a messenger, but those who cannot send a messenger can send a letter, thereby letting the world know where they stand in respect to the right handmenus. Under the constitution there are three classes of membership-viz, representative, annual and life. Any regular Baptist church may be represented upon the payment of $5. Any Baptist in good standing may become an annual member upon the payment of $2. Any Baptist in good standing may become a life member upon the payment of $2. By order of the executive board, B. C. MORRIS, President. R. B. HUDSON, Secretary. DEARFIELD ITEMS Mesdames Bailey and Williams entertained Mrs. W. A. Jones at an all day picnic Thursday. Mr. J. N. B.
