The Denver Star Has the Largest Circulation Among the Colored People----Get Wise and Advertise
TWENTY-SEVENTH YEAR
Of all the blows and blunders with which Woodrow Wilson has beaten the plodding progressive colored citizens of this country, his latest is undoubtedly his greatest. He has at last done the "fine big thing" in his recognition of the race which he promised at the outset of his administration. At the eleventh hour before the election he placates an entire people by rising in the majesty of his presidential power and suspending the civil service laws appoints the wife of the leading colored Democrat of the nation and a bishop of the African Methodist Church to a hundred-dollar-a-month position. Oh, what unspeakable shame must cover and confuse the bishop, broken in health and disgraced by the disastrous blows which his party's leader has dealt his trusting race! Oh, in what low esteem the prejudiced President must hold the intelligence and dignity of the black race! Of all the odori-
the American people to cunningly cover his crimes against them, this is the foulest and most foolish. We cannot believe that the great Zion Church will see one of its bishops so humiliate himself and his position. We cannot believe that drawing the salary that he does that he can or will plead poverty as a pretext for permitting his better half to so debase her race by accepting such a crumb thrown to her race in scorn and contempt. The President's action is past understanding. Surely this cannot be the measure of the race which any intelligent American school could have of the progress of the race. The White House has sought to give wide publicity to this last generous act of the administration toward the race. The colored people can wish nothing better than that the world should see to what depths the Woodrow Wilson Southern regime is seeking to degrade colored citizens. The wife a bishop, the helpmeet of the national leader of colored Democrats is given a hundred dollar a month job two months before election to soothe and secure a race which his party, as far as it has been possible, has segregated, disfranchised and persecuted. This is Woodrow Wilson's balm of Gilead. Its nauseous strength fumes rises to high heaven, forcing black men everywhere, without regard to party, to defeat.
In America color does not hurt a tree, flower, horse, fish, clothing, buildings, nor anything else except human beings. If a human being is colored that settles it. Strange country.

BRINGING NEGRO LABORERS NORTH
Philadelphia, Pa.,—More than 5,000 Negroes from Georgia and other Southern states have been brought to this city within the past few weeks by the Pennsylvania railroad officials in an effort to solve the labor problem. Two thousand men arrived last week and, are being subjected to the physical examination required by the rules of the road. Most of them will be put to work on the Pennsylvania grain elevator at Girard point.
Agents of the railroad have been at work in various southern cities more than a month and all have had trouble with the authorities, most of which is cleared up, according to officials of the road here. These agents have been hiring Negroes ranging in age from sixteen to sixty years for unskilled work, offering from $1.50 to $2 a day.
The railroad has discovered that it will not end labor shortage merely to import enough men for the immediate need. In the first batch brought from the South about a month ago, 200 or 300 men secured through southern employment agencies, quit their jobs within a few weeks. These men were employed on improvement and construction work within a radius of ten miles of Philadelphia, and according to the railroad officials, left to accept jobs with contractors or around munitions plants. It is hoped that the others now being brought in will realize the great opportunity being given them and that they will "stay on the job," instead of quitting as soon as they get a little money ahead.
Race Would Have Been Affected by R. R. Strike.
Washington, D. C.—Chas E. Hall, a colored expert in the Division of Revision and Results, furnishes the following facts concerning the employment of Negroes engaged in railroad work who would have been affected by the threatened strike:
Officials. 37; conductors, 120 baggagemen, 225; freight agents, 17: ticket and station agents, 50; yard men, 311: locomotive engineers, 355; locomotive firemen, 5,188; switchmen and flagmen, 2,127; brake men, 4,719; foremen and over seers, 987; boiler washers and engine hostlers. 1,328; laborers, 87,188. Total, 102,188. This does not include the army of porters of about 15,000.
DENVER, GOLORADO, SATURDAY, SEPT. 23, 1916
DISGRACEFUL ACTION AT SHORTER.
N. A. A. C. P. Called Meeting to Discuss Segregation, Carlson Politicians Plan to Steal Meeting. Politicians Denounce Star.
President Should Resign or Repudiate Action
Shorter's sacred platform and church were desecrated Tuesday night because the N. A. A. C. P. thru its President Geo. W. Gross, messenger of Secretary of State at the Capitol and president of the body had called the people together using the columns of the Star, for the purpose of discussing ways and means to take care of the present segregation agitation and had permitted, thru negligence, design or his failure to properly guard the interests of the society, politics to creep into this worthy and deserving organization. The bad language reported to us as having been used by "J. W. Jackson, messenger of Gov. Carlson, was 'damnable sheet' 'dirty black guard,' 'Never so damnable and black a lie ever came out of Hell' and 'you are a Jiar', while he was in church and after the meeting had been turned over to Rev. D. E. Over, pastor of Zion Baptist Church who was then presiding. Forty members joined we are told that night among them Mr. Jackson and many race loving people. From all the sources we interviewed, this is the story as near as we can report it.
The meeting Tuesday night followed a previous meeting Monday night when the ordinance was to be discussed but for some reason neither the ordinance nor speakers had been provided for and a general discussion at random was the consequence. At this meeting Tuesday night notices had been sent out thru all the churches and printed in the Star invited the public out to hear and provide for their defense against segregation. It was the general impression that Negroes were to meet to protect and in the interest of themselves, and that no politics would be allowed in this organization. This society advertised this distinctive feature and Shorter was crowded. After few preliminaries and a brief discussion of the bill, memberships were called for and 40 people joined paying their one dollar, we are told among them Rev. Over and J. W. Jackson and several of our most prominent and representative citizens. Between 9:30 p. m. and ten Mr. Geo. W. Gross, the president, gave as an excuse 'that he had to attend a state meeting at the State Capitol and was compelled to leave, but before leaving, he asked if there was any more business to come before the body, and it was at that time that J. W. Jackson, messenger of Governor was recognized by Mr. Gross, just before he called Rev. Over to the chair to preside. Mr Jackson also stated in Mr. Gross' presence that he had to attend this meeting at the State Capitol but, for some reason remained thruout the session and did not leave to go to that State meeting somewhere in the Capitol. It was here that the Star was denounced and the writer of the articles attacking Gov. Carlson's Jim Crowism and double dealing was called, "a dirty blackguard," the statements about Mr. Carlson were "damnable lies" and the statement that Carlson forces were behind the segregation ordinance was "as damnable and black a lie as ever came out of Hell" and he finished by praising Governor Carlson who kept a colored democrat in his republican job 9 months before Mr. Jackson was given his messengership appointment over the protest of those who helped elect Gov. Carlson. Impolite reference was made to a woman telephoning all over town and advising Carlson's defeat because his supporters were behind the Jim crow ordinance. Mrs. Isabelle Stewart, president of the Colored Woman's Republican League of Colorado, accepted the responsibility and replied after this manner 'Mr. Chairman' I think I am the person of whom Mr. Jackson is speaking. I was called while passing along the street and was asked whether I knew about the meeting that was to take place at the City Hall that evening in regard to the segregation ordinance. Of course I was utterly surprised as I had never dreamed of such a thing and could scarcely believe it. They informed me of the meeting and and advised me to attend and left me by saying it was a movement made by Mr. Carlson's supporters. Not being satisfied with this I called up Mr. Gross and asked if he had heard of such movement, what he thought of it and asked him to attend and he refused to go. I went down to the city hall all alone and was the only colored person in the meeting. I found, not to my disappointment, but very much to my chagrin, the situation as had been reported to me. I found ONE of the STRONGEST Carlson PRECINCTS in the CITY represented and headed by Eugene Cohig, 2077 Ogden St. a strong Carlson Committeeman. I

The President and His Darky Quotation.
The following news item appeared in a local morning paper under the caption of "President Smiles as He Quotes Darky Preacher":
"Milwaukee,—Pres. Wilson's serious face gave way to a smile that was contagious when, in his speech, he recited a humorous saying of a colored preacher in discussing the efficiency of the navy.
"The President had just finished saying that in fighting force, though not in quality, the navy is reckoned fourth in rank in the world, though he said, he suspected when tallying with the officers they could give an account of them selves which would raise them above the fourth class. 'It reminds me,' he said, 'of that very quaint saying of the old darky preacher. "The Lord says unto Moses, come FOURTH and he came fifth and lost the race." '
The schoolmaster, President Mr. Wilson, is apparently losing is dignity of speech—he refers to a colored preacher as "A DARKY."
We are not surprised to learn that the President refers to a member of our race as "A DARKY," in view of his southern traits and well-known anti-Negro sentiments. But we regret to note that such a distinguished and educated personage as Mr. Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States of America, late president of Princeton University, widely-known dispenser of 'trailing arbutus'—in the way of high-sounding words and phrases—has stepped from his high pinnacle of lofty and dignified uterances to use the familiar "SOUTHERN GREASER" TERM OF "DARKY."
But to return to the joke, when it comes to losing or winning the race—"Moses lost by coming FIFTH," instead of "FOURTH," and the 10,000,000 DARKIES in this country are determined to see it that Mr. Wilson comes, not FIFTH, but so far behind that he will appear TO BE RIDING IN THE "NEXT RACE."
Score one for the President as a diplomat—he did not talk about Hun or Sheeny in Mil waukee—he just tapped the poor old defenseless "darky." But say. Mr. President, it is time "to stop kicking the poor old houn' daw'g aroun'." Election day is near!
We darkies rejoice that we are not "Creatures of Passion Disloyalty and Anarchy," whom the President desires "crushed out." but just plain "DARKIES," with no other qualities than "Quaint Saying." Thanks for your kind reference, anyhow, Mr. Wilson!

SCOTT'S DISTRICT CONFERENCE A SUCCESS.
The first district Conference ever held at Scott M. E. Church was held last week beginning Wednesday, Sept. 13 with our erudite District Supt. S. A. Stripling, as master of the situation. The Conference consisted of the adjourned session of the Topeka District Conference embracing the Colorado cities with their Epworth Leagues and Sunday Schools. Helpful papers, valuable suggestions, keen observations touching the general survey also including the various phases of the church and Sunday work were made and from the discussions had and information gained, much good was done because of the convention. The most important features were the devotionals led by our energetic L. C. Bassett, of Colorado Springs who simply carried Denver away by his musical activity. Miss Alpha A. Bratton of Chicago, formerly of Colorado Springs made such a deep musical impression that the latch string of Denver always is on the outside for her return. Miss Bratton has a wonderfully sweet, penetrating strong soprano voice and uses it with perfect ease exhibiting her musical training. The friends and delegates who attended were Dr. N. J. Johnson, L. C. Bassett, Rev Polk Taylor, Mrs. M. A. Dunn, Mrs. Vera Frazier Misses Elsa O. Nix, all of Colorado Springs, Mrs. Tolley and daughter of Little Rock, Ark. Rev. E. P. Geiger of Pueblo and Father Denby of Church of Redeemer this city was also among the visitors and made a most excellent talk. Rev. Randolph preached as never before Sunday afternoon and Scott's quarterly meeting was set on spiritual fire Dr. Stripling preached a strong sermon Sunday morning followed by Rev. Randolph who preached as never before, Sunday afternoon, and Dr. Auman (white) District Supt. Colorado Conference preached at night. A church with a very appropriate collection for the day was the consequence.
Fined for Violations
Atlanta, Ga.,—Violators of the segregation law have had an unusually active time the last few days. Several have been arraigned in police court and ordered to move out of prohibited blocks. Annie Johnson, living on Ashby St. near Simpson, was given ten days to move out of the neigh borhood. This was done after City Attorney Mayson (white) had made an investigation and decided that the block was white. Morgan Ryan (white) was allowed by Judge Johnson, Saturday, ten days in which tu move from 65 West Cain street, and out of the block.

During the last week in the month
of November Zion will celebrate the
fiftieth anniversary of her birth. During
a half century this church has
stood a beacon in the midst of the
Rocky Mountain wilderness. The
influence which she has wielded on the
development of this section can be
fully estimated by no man. That this
occasion should be properly celebrated
is both wise and expedient. The
preparations toward that end are going forward. The observances will
take the nature of a Golden Jubilee.
A full programme will be published
shortly.
The pastor and party returned last week from Kansas City where the setting of the greatest National Baptist Convention was held. A constructive programme was carried out which means a revolution in the future of the church. The party enjoyed a most pleasant trip and returned with great enthusiasm concerning the missionary prospect. Dr. E. H. Borden of Beaumont, Tex., formerly a professor of the Greek and Hebrew languages at the Western University, Macon, Mo., occupied the pulpit last Sunday morning. Dr. Borden's message was fully in keeping with his scholarly character and was a delight to the congregation.
Sunday School Rally day will be held on the second Sunday in October. Great preparations are being made for a home coming. It is expected that every member of the church who can make it convenient, will be numbered with the children. The mark has been set for 500. Don't fail to come!

Sunday marked the close of the District Conference. Everybody present were loud in their praise of such a successful Conference session. Mr. Bassett of Colorado Springs, kept the spirit of the occasion at high tide with his most excellent singing. All reports of the different departments of the churches were very good. The District Superintendent spared nothing in his praise of the work of the Class Leaders of Scott Church.
The wonderful sermon preached by the Dr. Auman was witnessed by a large congregation Sunday night. After the sermon, Miss Bratton sang a selection which thrilled the audience.
The communion service in the afternoon was certainly a spiritual feast. Dr. Randaulph seemed to be at his best as he spoke so eloquently on "The Open Door."
The pastor's subject for Sunday morning will be "In the school of experience."

Tickets will be out by the end of the month for sale.
Y. M. C. A. NOTES.
The Social Work committee is making elaborate plans for the first Fall membership social which is to be given Tuesday evening, the 28th. Only members will be present. An effort is being made to secure the presence of every resident member of the Association, so that they might become better acquainted, and thus strengthen the bond of sympathy between them. The committee has decided to hold one such social each month. The second social of the season will be given in honor of the Christian Endeavor Society of Shorter A. M. E. Church on Monday evening, October 2. After that will follow a Boys' and Mothers' social.
The meeting last Sunday afternoon was very interesting. The regular address was delivered by the Rev. James G. Brawn, pastor of the Berkeley M. E. Church, on the subject, "Completeness.' Special vocal selections were rendered by Miss Alpha A. Bratton, of the Chicago Conservatory of Music, accompanied by Miss Gatewood. Miss Bratton sang with a spiritual air and reverence rarely heard by singers so young as she. A large number of prominent visitors were present.
Another good program will be rendered next Sunday afternoon as usual. Rev. Fred W. William, D. D., pastor of the South Broadway Presbyterian Church, will be the speaker. The meeting will begin at four o'clock.

PROMINENT MEN TOUR VIRGINIA
Organization Society Makes Educational Campaign.
SEVERAL COUNTIES VISITED
Many Notables Are Included in Party Which Recently Accompanied Dr. Robert R. Moton on Trip Through Important Sections of Old Virginia. Rural District People Encouraged. Hampton, Va.—"Better homes, better farms, better schools and better health" is the motto of the Negro Organization Society of Virginia, founded by Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee institute and at present president of the organization. Dr. Moton put to work in the establishment of the society one of the most important factors for the uplift of the race in the country, and its influence is farreaching in the rural districts.
At the annual session in November Dr. Moton on account of leaving Virginia will give up the presidency, and another strong man will be selected in his place. The representatives of the society have just completed a tour of some of the counties of Virginia, where talks have been delivered to the people along the line of better homes, better farms, better schools and better health.
In the party were Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee institute; Major Allen Washington, commandant of Hampton institute and treasurer of the society; Professor W. T. B. Williams, Hampton agent for the Slater and Jeane funds; Rev. A. A. Graham Phebus, chairman of the executive committee of the Organization society; Professor T. C. Erwin, Petersburg, field agent, Organization society; Professor J. M. Gandy, Petersburg, president Virginia Normal and Industrial institute; Professor M. W. Connor, Petersburg, Normal and Industrial institute; J. B. Pierce, district farm demonstrator of Virginia; Frank Trigg, president of the Virginia Collegiate institute; R. Nathaniel Detta, director of music, Hampton institute; Professor E. A. Long, principal Christiansburg institute; Rev. L. L. Downing, Roanoke Presbyterian church; Charles Stewart, A. M., D. D.
The party left Portsmouth, Va., over the Seaboard Air Line, going to Franklin, where the first meeting was held and was attended by a large number of people from both races. The mayor of Franklin declared that it was the most helpful meeting held in that section for the past fifty years. At night a meeting was held in Suffolk, the party returning by the Seaboard to that point, and after the meeting they were carried by automobiles to the wharf and put on the Hampton yacht, where the rest of the tour was made.
The next point made was Smithfield, where the party was met by a committee with automobiles and carried to Isle of Wight courthouse, where another interesting meeting was held. Then to Scotland county courthouse, a meeting being held in the Baptist church; thence to Ruthville. At each of these points the people turned out in large numbers. Dr. Moton was the principal speaker. The people were anxious to see and hear him, because it was the closing of his administration as president of the society and the opening of larger things for him, becoming the success of Dr. Booker T. Washington. Some wanted to see the new principal and then shake the hands of the foremost educators of his race.
Dr. Moton was himself and delivered some strong practical addresses to the people. At each place his addresses were punctuated with outbursts of applause. Major Allen Washington was also an important figure, because he is the successor to Dr. Moton at the Hampton institute.
"Education" was preached to the people by one of the most noted and perhaps the best posted educators in the race, Professor W. T. B. Williams. This was his specialty, and he handled it well, while Professor Gandy hammered away on health. "Plenty soap and water" were urged to play a part in the uplift of the race.
It seemed that every man was a specialist in his particular line and was prepared to instruct the people who were anxious to hear and receive the much needed advice.
The party also visited historic James-town, where the first cargo of slaves landed in this country. They went through the old fort, viewing the graves of those who figured in the early settlement of Virginia and counting the time of the landing of the first slaves to the present, viewing the wonderful progress made by the race they sang "Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow." And why not?
It was interesting to see the farmers and their families lay aside their work and go to school, as it were, for a few hours. Then to see how they honored their leaders. In the matter of better farms the organization is assisting, as well as in the matter of better schools. They are encouraging and helping to lengthen the terms in the rural districts where they are short, helping to build substantial school buildings and advocating the employment of the very best available teachers for the rural schools, as well as those in the city.
The next annual session of the Negro Orgainization society will be held in Rosnoke, Va., Nov. 8.

Savannah, Ga.—After being in ses-
sion in this city since Wednesday.
Sept. 6, the national Baptist conven-
tion closed one of the most interestins
meetings in its history on Tuesday.
Sept. 12. The number of delegates and
visitors was estimated by the thou
sands, and among them were men and
women who have achieved success in
business, the various professions and
in bome and foreign mission work.
‘The crowning event of the conven-
tion's work from a denominational
standpoint came on Saturday. Sept. 9.
when in the presence of the great
throags of people the monument erect-
ed to the memory of the Rev. George
Lisle was unveiled. George Lisle was
the first Baptist modern foreign mis
slonary. He was born in Virginia in
1750, ordained to the gospel ministry
in 1775 and xalled for the British West
Indies in 1782.
The idea of the monument was con.
ceived im the fertile brain of tho Rev.

corresponding secretary of the nation.

quarter of a centary. Dr. Jordan trav-
@led the country over in a campaign
for funds with which to defray the
expense of the monument. In this ef-
fort the board gave its hearty co-op
eration, and the denomination re.
sponded to the appeal quite nobly.
Among the states which sent in their
contributions in time to have their
names carved on the monumerit are

EDUCATION AT HAMPTON.
For a Lite of Service.
General Armstrong, founder of the

a race which did not include girls as
well as boys. He considered of vital
importance, as did Booker Washington.
the improvement of home life.
Each year shows an improvement in
the equipment and character of the
Hampton girl. The domestic sclenc«
and arts classes, the “gumption”
classes, the academic course, the gar.
dening, the carefully planned rotation
system in all kinds of housework, the
teacher training at the Whittier, thc
physical culture, the competitive
games, the student government on cor
ridors, the summer outing system an¢
the newly organized Young Women’s
Christian association—all these give
wonderful discipline to girls at Hamp

girls in many ways.

Former Member of Alabama Legisia-
ture Reveals Metheds Used to De-
Prive the Colored and Poor White
Citizens of the Baltet—Strongly Con-
demns Lynchings.
Commenting on Senator Tillman's re-
cent speech in the senate in which Mr.
‘Tillman referred to the attempt being
made (in his opinion) to stir up sec-
tlonalism in the present national po-
Iiticat campaign, the Hon. Joseph C.
Manning of Alabama recites some very
cold facts as to the political situation
in the south. Mr. Manning is a for-
mer member of the Alabama legisla
ture. He is again on the fring line
and is well known throughout the coun-
try as a creat agitator for the civil and
politics! rights of the colored people.
Mr. Manning in part says:
“Senator Tillman deplores sectional
ism, nnd those who favored the con-
tinuance of chattel slavery deplored
sectional interference with southern in-
stitutions. So will it be regarded as
sectionslism if ne should discuss the
conditions of political slavery in the
south. Kevert to South Carolina, hay-
ing 165.769 white and 335.016 black
male citizens of voting age, and then
see that the vote for Mr. Wilson for
a
president in 1912 was only 48,942.
There ts Alabama electing Mr. Under-
wood to the senate on 63,000 ballots
and Baving 200,000 black and 300,000
white male citizens of voting age.
“In Iowa Mr. Cummings polled 205,-
832 votes for senator, and the com
Dined vote of all candidates was 427,-
102. ‘These two states have about an
equal population. One state, Alabama,
has ingenious laws to restrict voting.
The other, Towa, has free government.
Alabama refuses to recognize United
States citizenship as distinctive from
state eltizenship and declines to per-
mit the sovereignty ballot rights of
all male citizens, while lowa is within
the letter and «he spirit of the federal
constitution.
“Should a candidate for the presi
dency take up the cause of human
“rights, go into this southern question.
show up the methods employed to re-
press the masses of the south, the
flow of tears from Mr. Tillman would
have the aspect of a Johnstown flood
instead of a sort of theatrical political
play on the superficial sentiment of
the north, always casily induced not
[to discess those issues In the south
that are, in fact. of national concern.
“The north goes ahead building
monuments to its heroic dead, honor-
ing the memory of Garrison, Sumner.
| Lincotm, Grant and those lke them.
, while the southern political machine
| goes as steadily ahead undoing all
‘that these great exponents of human
Justice championed and defended and
established, but as yet no voice Is
| raised to protest Its wrongs tn South
Carolina—to cry out. for example, as
against the triple lynching In a south-
ern state, which occurred tn August.
“Are not the lives of those this side
the ocean or the border as much to be
Protected as those on or across the
ocean or over the border? If this ts

are about 2.000.000 black and 4,000,000
white tnale citizens of voting age.

Is NOT THIS NERVE? READ AND
THINK.
The meeting of the N. A. A. C. P. at
Shorter A. M. B. Church, Tuesday
night was one of the most enthusiastic
and largely attended meetings in the
history of the organization. It showed
conclusively that our people are fully
awake to their own interests. When
the call for membership came two sec-
retaries were necessary to handle the
rush, there being 50 new enrollments,
41 of whom paid in. Strong addresses
were made by Rev. D. E. Over, Harry
Cowell and others. The date for next
meeting will be announced through
the Star.—By Geo. W. Gross.
(The Star informs the public that it
will not announce any more meetings
until it has been assured that no poli-
ties nor any more insults will be per-
mitted.—Ed.)
We are told, but we don’t know how
much truth that there is in it, that
$1,500 has been given to certain Carl-
son supporters, the purpose for which
we were not informed.
Think of this meeting called for one
purpose and then politicians come in
and take away the meeting to boost
Mr. Carlson. Cannot Negroes ever
come together for racial interests with
out bringing in the white man all the
time? Suppose the Post reporters had
heard the speeches made in our church
and had gone off and wrote it up with
a heading, “Negroes meet to discuss
segregation and fight among them-
selves in church.” What effect would
that have upon our white friends and
sympathizers? What has Mr. Carlson
done so great for the Negro that J. W.
Jackson should bring him into the
meetings and attempt to destroy a
race paper? Two messengerships!
Why not Negroes fight with Negroes
instead of against Negroes when the
common enemy assails us? Are not
we Negroes before we are anything
else? Shall politicians rule you or
shall you rule politicians?
We are now attacked in the rear by
some of our own forces. Did the Star
tell the truth on Carlson? Did Carlson
forces help Nesbit who insulted you, td
win against you? Did Mrs. Isabelle
Stewart tell the truth about the Carl.
son people being behind the “Jim
“Crow” ordinance? Have they recog:
nized our women in the last two years
at the State Capitol? Did Gov. Carlson
thru Mr. Harper appoint Tom Camp-
bell, who contributed nothing toward
his election fo a job and put him ina
room all to himself? Did Gov. Carlson
appoint a white man to a job held by
a Negro for years, in the Mining Bur-
eau or did he acquesce in the appoint:
ment over-coming Mr. Clarence Holmes
who was endorsed by everyone for the
job? We have nothing to apologize
for concerning what we said about
Carlson and his treatment and his
broken word to the Negroes. We know
and you know it took 9 months to re-
move Mr. O. T. Jackson as messenger
to the Governor when he openly sup-
ported the Democrats. We are going
to try might and main to keep the Star
from being suppressed by anyone per-
son, body or organization, especially
on the account of politics, when we are
standing up for the Negroes at our
personal sacrifice.
You know the Star, you have read
it, you might not agree with its Edi-
tor, but at least you can say we never
‘sold you out but have stood up for
you and your rights in face of all kinds
of opposition within and without the
race. We still say that the Negroes
ought not to support the man that sup-
ported Nesbit and the man who has
ignored our women, Gov. Carlson.

E. H. WELCH.
With’ Mme. M. A. Holley, who for
ten years has been one of Denver's
foremost hair specialist and scalp ar-
tists, a progressive business woman,
has now located her manufacturing
plant at 2618 Downing St. Mme. Hol-
ley has just returned from Los Ange-
lee, Calif,, where she has been selling
her wonderful hair grower. Her bust-
ness has grown 60 steadily that she
has taken her daughter, Mme. EU.
Welch, as her partner, who will do
the Scalp treatment at 726 E. 16th
‘Ave. Mme. Welch has had five years
experience and all old and new custo-
mers together with new prospects can
be served in the most satisfactory
manner if they consult with Mmes,
Holley and Weich. Call and see them
and have a talk with them. It costs
you nothing.
If the women pian to do a thing, they
will do it. Buy a tag Sept. 30th.
Mrs. Margaret Grey, charming wid-
ow of Louisiana, spent 2 months visit-
ing her cousins, Mmes. Holley and
Boyd at 2618 Downing, and "Mme.
Welch at 726 E. 16th Ave. While here
she was royally entertained. Mrs,
Grey has a very representative posi-
tion in New Orleans to which place
she was called after 8 weeks of vaca-
tion and exquisite refreshment. Come
gain, Mrs. Grey.

lantic City, N. J.
Upon Rufus Clark's tombstone at
Riverside, these words are inscribed,
“They lived and gave of their sub:
stance for the redemption of Sierra
Leone, West Africa.” Denver had two
heroes who gave their life and all for
others of another race. Yet their
memories and not celebrated neither
are their praises sung.
Next week will be a busy week for
the members of the Negro Women’s
Ciub Association. It is the closing
week of their campaign. Their cam-
paign headquarters will be in the of-
fice of the Colored American Loan
and Realty Company, 2725 Welton St.
Tuesday and Thursday nights the
campaign will meet there and next
Saturday, the 20th, the ladies will be
on the streets selling tags. Every
Negro should buy a tag and encourage
our white friends to assist them. ‘The
money raised is to be used to estab-
lish a Girls’ Friendly Home and a Day
Nursery. Every race loving Negro is
asked to give something, no matter
how small, to the campaign fund. Last
week the Benefit Picnic at Eliteh’s
Gardens was an immense success,
more than five hundred persons pass-
ing through the gates.
Tell your friends about tag day.
Stop in headquarters, 2735 Welton, and
talk with the ladies about their plan
of managing the Home. Read _the
daily papers about their effort. Be a
booster for a Girls’ Friendly home and
Day Nursery.

It will be remembered that a score

atroyed by tire and lost much of its
prestige aud standing as an educational
institution thereby. Before it met with
this disaster it was known as one of
the very Select schools for colored peo-
ple throngh its mechanical department
as well ax from a literary standpoint
It was then kuown as the Central Ten-
nessee colleze. é
The name Walden comes from that
venerable aud lovable character Bish-
op John M. Walden, the Jate friend and
benefactor of ‘the colored people, and
the institution now has for the Grst
[time in its loug bistory been given
man of the colored race for its pres.
dent. Walden university is among the
many schools for the race maintained
by the Freedmen's Ald society of the
Methodist Episcopal church, These in.

men of the race in the A. M. E. church
and is well qualitied for his task and
possesses all the characteristics to
make such # leader as is needed at the
head of a great educational institution.
He was educated in the public and
high schools of Oblo and spent tbrec
years in the college department at De
Pauw university and the Obio Wes-
Teyan university.
He has been a successful teacher in
Indiana and Kentucky, and at the time
of his selection for his present position
was the successful pastor of Cory
Church at Cleveland, O. President
White bas been a member of four gen-
era] conferences of bis church and
upon three of these occasions sefved as
the Ieader of his delegation. He has
fulfilled with satisfaction several im
portant appointments in the Lexington
(Ky.) conference, serving two terms as
a district superintendent. He bas also

managers of the Freedmen'’s Aid so-
clety for three quadrenniums.

ENTERTAIN AT OLD COLONY.
The Ultra Smart Set Girls entertained about 200 friends at their dancing party at Old Colony Hall, Friday evening, Sept. 15th. The hall was beautifully decorated in the club colors, which were pink and green. The beautiful pink chandelier in the center lent a very pretty effect on the moonlight dances. The ladies were fashionably gowned in beautiful evening dresses. The Club girls were distinguished by the pink and green ribbon worn on their arm. The 1916 Two-Step was introduced by the Club girls and was voted the most popular dance of the season.
After spending a most enjoyable evening, the guests departed, declaring the girls most successful hostesses. One of the prettiest dancing parties of the season was given by the Ultra Smart Set at Old Colony Hall on last Friday night. The Club is composed of Denver's young society folk and they did justice to the occasion. The Hall was daintily decorated and the moonlight dances were the special features. Morrison's orchestra was at its best and those favored with invitations are indebted to the Club for a most delightful evening.

"O. Lord, I besechue Thee to forgive those who read our paper on a credit, and when the poor newspaper man comes to collect, they fly off the handle and treat the poor servant man so mean that he feels so humiliated that he doesn't know what to do. O. Lord, teach them that the paper cannot live without money; teach them that to pay their subscription they are paying an honest debt; teach them, Father, that the poor editor cannot live by promises and water alone; teach them that he is flesh and blood. Then, Oh Lord, thru your mighty power, have revealed this fact to them, permit them unto Thy kingdom, where everything is free, where the unjust are not allowed, and the debts are paid, and the editor and readers are all at rest."—Amen.

Value of Due Preparation For Service
Exemplified In the Career and Work
of a Former Pennsylvania Boy Who
Has Made Good In Canada and the
West as Soloist.
By N. BARNETT DODSON.
While it is not a rare thing to hear of scores of young men and women of the colored race who have attained greatness as finished musicians, both vocal and instrumental, yet there are scores still unheard of except in a local way. It is therefore a matter of pleasing information as well as a splendid evidence of the progress which members of the race are making in classical music. Albert Edward Greenlaw of Detroit, Mich., belongs to the class of songsters which has risen on his merit and whose services have been engaged by the most critical love
M. B.
ers of music for both religious and social entertainment in a very large way.
Mr. Greenlaw is a native of Scottdale, Pa. His parents, Peyton and Hannah Greenlaw, removed to Canada when their son Albert was eight years of age. Young Greenlaw received his elementary education at Woodstock, Ont. Being musically inclined, his parents decided to give him a musical education. Mr. Greenlaw studied under some of the best teachers with special attention given to voice culture.
He made rapid progress in his studies and early showed signs of remarkable capacity for music of the most difficult composition. He finished his course in music with a fine record, and his success as a professional] vocalist is due to the thorough preparation which he made before entering upon his chosen profession.
On account of his thorough preparation and ability as a solist Mr. Greenlaw has endeared himself to the local public in Detroit, through which he has become known in other parts of the west. For ten years he has been constantly engaged by some of the wealthiest and most influential congregations among the white people in Canada doing solo work. For such services he receives liberal pay, which enables him to keep himself abreast of the times in the best music and also time to study and consult the highest musical authorities.
During the winter of 1915 Mr. Greenlaw was engaged by one of the most successful evangelists of the country who was laboring in Iowa. His solo work in this connection won great praise for him from the pulpit and press. Every place in which Mr. Greenlaw sang and every time it was announced that he would sing throngs upon throngs of people gathered to hear him, and it was said that much of the success of the revivalists with whom he labored was due to the marvelous sweetness and fullness of Mr. Greenlaw's wonderful voice.
Quite recently Mr. Greenlaw sang at the great mass meeting held by the Detroit branch of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People, and his fine singing was quite a revelation in Detroit, his own home town. It has so happened that he has always been detained from home in his profession and had been given no opportunity since perfecting his musical education to acquaint the Detroit people with the splendid quality of his work.
He is still a young man and in the near future intends to tour the east, where musical critics will have a rare opportunity to add their praises to the most successful male vocalist yet produced by the colored people. All lovers of music who have heard him are his friends and admirers.
The Hon. Alfred J. Murphy, noted circuit judge of Detroit, sald of him: "It is a pleasure to attest his remarkably fine voice. In volume, range and shading his voice stamps him a rare artist. Personally of upright character, his great vocal excellence should commend him to every lover of music." The Hon. Woodbridge N. Ferris, governor of Michigan, also sent Mr. Greenlaw a letter highly commending his splendid musical work on one occasion after hearing Mr. Greenlaw sing.

Missouri Town Gives Religious Body Royal Welcome.
Unincorporated Wing of National Organization Scores Big Success at First Session Held on Its Own Resources—President Jones Explains Cause of 1915 Trouble and Defends His Course.
Kansas City, Mo.—Profuse was the welcome that was extended the thirty-sixth annual session of the unincorporated national Baptist convention held in this city from Sept. 6 to 11, inclusive. The scene of the big meeting was the Armory hall, at Fourteenth and Michigan streets, which had been secured for the occasion. The local committee, headed by three distinguished Baptist ministers and made up from members of the laity from every section of Kansas and Missouri, had made splendid arrangements.
The committee on homes, the reception and the general committee deported themselves admirably, and when President E. P. Jones, D. D., of Vicksburg, Miss., called the meeting to order he paid a tribute to the citizens of this city that was royal indeed.
Among the first things to be announced by President Jones was "a constructive program from beginning to end." Three well known divines, one from Alabama, one from Mississippi and one from Louisiana, led the devotions on the first day, their theme being "The Work of the Holy Spirit," while the entire convention threw its self as a whole into the work, because of the excellent music under the direction of a chorister who had been training the chorus of 150 voices for two weeks.
President E. P. Jones' Annual Address.
Ringing true to the principles of the unincorporated wing of the Baptist convention, President E. P. Jones, D. D., of Vicksburg, Miss., delivered his first annual address in the presence of thousands of delegates and visitors, who listened to the president with almost breathless attention.
President Jones said in part: "Up from the hills and prairies of my native state twelve months ago I went, as I have often done before, to the great national Baptist convention which convened on Sept. 8, 1915, in Chicago, a city whose marvelous growth staggers the most optimistic. I had the honor there of being appointed by the president presiding to one of the most honored positions in the gift of the convention. I refer to the tellership, handed me without solicitation of the then united convention.
"You will distinctly recall that I went about the discharge of those duties not unmindful of the great responsibilities that rested upon my shoulders. I did not seek nor covet the distinction. I presumed that in a great convention composed of brethren gathered from the four corners of the earth that there could be but one intent and purpose, and that was to see that even handed justice was meted out to all, irrespective of their convictions or position upon the great question which hung like a pall and threatened to rend asunder friendly relations that had existed for years.
Unfairness Resorted to at Chicago.
"As we proceeded to pursue the duties assigned to us it soon dawned not only upon me, but upon every fair-minded individual present, that steps unfair, unjust and void of every semblance of Christian motive were to be put in execution to stifle and thwart the will of the majority. Volunteers have been written in defense of the actions of the majority on that memorable day. Energy which if properly directed would work miracles has been spent to controvert the truth and make plausible the attitude of the hopeless and forlorn, but all the scholarly attainments of ancient Greece and the modern eloquence of the Cleeros cannot alter or change the fact, which stands out like a signpost to guide the traveler, that 504 votes were cast to 310 to not sustain the chair.
"No man in these United States, whether he be black or white, rich or poor, saint or sinner, can defy such an expressed authority of the people and expect to retain the respect and obedience of the Baptist ministry. Ours is a church of liberty and doctrine. Although our triumphs have been many, although we have grown in fifty years and stand out as a marvel in our accomplishments, there is not gathered here today. I hope, a single individual of the ministry or the laity who would consent to make a sacrifice of the principles for which our fathers died in the hoary past.
"May that day never come in the history of this nation's life when the privilege to think and act as God gives and imparts light shall be denied the humblest citizen. Better defy an army of enemies of a million men bent on conquest than a hundred determined Baptist preachers whose lives are dedicated in maintaining one Lord, one faith and one baptism. To adorn a convention of Baptists, a majority to the contrary notwithstanding, is a fragrant usurpation of power that in the
end will make the trembling and quaking of Belshazzar insignificant and in consequence to the condemnation that must follow such a course.
"This was the very signal of a heated imagination that rent in twain the mighty brotherhood. Lest you might forget the issue I again urge that you recall that in the face of the fact that the convention had gone on record more than once in condemning the procuring of a charter that illegal and unauthorized efforts did on May 17, 1915, in the city of Washington succeed and make of record the incorporating of the National Baptist Convention of the United States of America.
Document Born of Malice and Envy.
"I do not need here to tell you that the provisions encouched within that unbearable and disgusting measure scent unto the heavens and enviously seek to control and manipulate and with malice aforethought assassinate that industry for which we have striven for many years. It is acknowledged that the only purpose for which these unnecessary and strange innovations had their origin was selfish and ambitious, and they were absolutely void of the warmth of the Christian spirit, but cold and barefaced in the attempt to reap where they had not sown.
"Our publishing plant at Nashville is the greatest of its kind owned and operated by black men throughout the breadth of the universe. Mississippi my own native state, gave birth to our own Dr. R. H. Boyd, whose industrious eye and honest business capacity add luster to this convention and our great denomination. He has done for us and our children's children that which no Negro of this century has achieved. It was his opportunity; God gave him the light. He wept forth in the face of discouragement and a thousand other besetments; caught a vision as if by inspiration and founded an institution which today employs your sons and daughters and makes possible their advancement.
"The publishing board is composed of brethren well prepared for their duties, and they hold in trust for you and for me and for every Negro Baptist in this nation this property about which more calamitous fairy tales have been told than could be recorded by a thousand scribes in a thousand years. It appears to me that this convention is absolutely competent to understand that if any defects existed legislation and not destruction would be the remedy.
"To the maintenance of the national Baptist publishing board as now constituted and this the national Baptist convention of the United States of America I have dedicated the past twelve months of my life, and as I take a retrospection I am none the less willing to continue in my feeble way, the defense of these fundamentals which underlie not only the very future of the church, but to combat that which would turn back the pages of the Negroes' progress for the next quarter of a century.
"Others may subscribe and give their hand, voice and vote to upset and disgrace that which we have vouch-safed these last twenty years, but until fiery revelations from God's heavens, like stars at midnight, shall picture the irregularity and unreasonableness of my course I shall go forward, believing that whithersoever I go be who guildeth the destiny of man will lead me on."

National Urban League Told Colored Boys Give Satisfaction.
The following communication from the Connecticut Leaf Tobacco association, which is composed of practically all the tobacco growers in the Hartford valley, has been received at the office of the National Urban league:
The National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes. 203 Seventh Avenue. New York.
Gentlemen, I am glad to be able to write that upon every plantation where the colored students are now employed they are giving satisfaction, and plans are being made for their return to Connecticut at the end of the school term in 1917. These boys have proved to be efficient and conscientious workers, and they have won the approval of both the planters they have been working for and the members of the different communities in which they work. I believe it to be the duty of the association to send some letter of appreciation to the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes for their efforts in this movement and at the same time to mention the efficient and able manner in which they have handled this proposition. Very truly yours,
CONNECTICUT LEAF TOBACCO AS-
CONNECTICUT LEAF TOBACCO ASSOCIATION
This letter is in commendation of the work of the 500 students who were recruited from the southern schools and colleges as an experiment to fill the places of foreign laborers who had found more remunerative employment in the various munition factories of the north.
