Denver Star

The Denver Star Has the Largest Circulation Among the Colored People---Get Wise and Advertise The Denver Star ESTABLISHED 1888 The papers formerly known as The Statesman and The Independent, have been merged into The Denver Star TWENTY-SEVENTH YEAR Number 157 DENVER, GOLORADO, SATURDAY, COT. 14, 1916 FIVE CENTS A COP TAG DAY AHUGESUCGESS Women Delighted at Result. Carnation Club, Mrs. Belle Contee and Mrs. C. D. Kemp Winners. To the great surprise and extreme delight of many, not a harsh word spoken, not an insult offered, not anything which happened Saturday can be held in memory as an unpleasant experience of any of the ninety women of color who labored so loyally and faithfully on their first annual tag day. The white public was so generous, so fair and so sympathetic with so many kind words of encouragement and interest that at the end of Saturday's campaign a completely new idea had been formed by many of the deep interest and silent concern which the white public has in all such humanitarian and altruistic affairs. Many ladies were timid and diffident because of the fear of insults but thank the Lord not an unpleasant experience was witnessed. Our people showed a deep concern for many professional and business men of all walks of life visited the different corners buying tags, offering helpful suggestions encouragement. All of the women deserve to be praised but especial praise is due to Mesdames Gussie Carriss, Lizzie Richardson, Emmett Webster, Florence Cooper, Eva Tompkins, Georgia and Isabelle Contee and Mrs. C. D. Kemp who sold the highest individual amount of tags totaling $40. Mrs. Kemp was just visiting friends while enroute to Chicago but caught the spirit and demonstrated her soul life. The Carnation Club sold $230 worth of tags winning honors while their president, Mrs. Webster brought in $42 in subscriptions. But the one to whom the Star dofs its hat is Mrs. Isabelle Contee, who brought in $163 on subscriptions, the largest individual amount of all the club women. The Star justly sings her praises. Other clubs and individuals have done excellently but special mention was due this club. Last Saturday was the closing effort for the Day Nursery and Girls Friendly Club by the Negro Womans Club Association. From the sale of Tags on the down town streets $779.40 was realized. The Association wishes to thank the public for their loyalty to them during the campaign it also thanks the girls and women who sold tags for them on the streets Saturday and the Star for the publicity given their efforts. During the campaign the following moneys were raised:— From sale of tags $923.40 Number 157 A BOUT IN THREE ROUNDS Jeremiah A. O'Leary, president of the American Truth Society, led off at President Wilson with a telegram which in part, read as follows: "Again we greet you with a popular disapproval of your pro-British policies, last year from the Twenty-third New York Congressional District, and now from your own State and from the voters of your own party. Senator Martine won because the voters of New Jersey do not want any truckling to the British Empire nor do they approve of dictatorship over Congress. Your foreign policies, your failure to secure compliance with all American rights, your leniency with the British Empire, your approval of war loans, the ammunition traffic, are issues in this campaign." The President ducked and came back straight from the shoulder with the following telegram: Your telegram received, I would feel deeply mortified to have you or anybody like you vote for me. Since you have access to many disloyal Americans and I have not, I will ask you to convep this message to them." Mr. O'Leary went to the ropes but recovered, lowered his head and delivered this vicious uppercut: "In your telegram of yester day you have evaded every question that I raised. In acting thus, you have followed your usual method of carrying on a controversy with an opponent. Now you seek by an indirect charge of disloyalty—a charge which you dared not questions which you cannot answer. "I challenge comparison, both by heredity and environment of my life and antecedents with yours. While three of my uncles were dying in defense of the Union, those of your kin who dared to fight were struggling to destroy it." A jitney bus line running from Houston, Tex., to a colored suburb became very profitable. Thereupon the white people had it abolished claiming that it ran through a white red light district and disturbed law abiding citizens. And as long as Negroes take such, as their full share without protest so long will they poke it out to us. What have we gained thru this present governor's administration? He kept a democrat in his office nine months over our protest, appointed a psuedo-democratic messenger over the protest of you and completely ignored our women. He has broken his word with us. The Star asks in all candor, what other honorable course should it pursue than to protest and refuse to put back in office a man who has so wronged us. Our advice to you is not to vote for Governor Carlson and be sure you are registered by next Thursday in your precints, as that is your last chance. If you don't want to vote for any other person, don't vote for a person who has mistreated you. Total $1768.06 An itemized list of all persons donating to the campaign in next week's Star. DENVER, GOLORADO, SATURDAY, COT. 14, 1916 WHITE SOLDIERS PENDING TRIAL BEFORED COLORED OFFICERS. Don't Whitewash Wrongs. San Antonio, Tex.,—A protest from enlisted men is being filed with the War Depart ment against the trial of white soldiers by the general court martial organized at Fort Sam Houston, because of four officers of the Eighth Illinois, who were members of the court. Be Men to Men in Times Like These. THE TEST IS COMING. Two captains and two first lieutenants of the Eight Illinois regiment are included in the personnel of the twelve officers of the court. Negroes of Denver do you know that it is alarming how discrimination, prejudice and injustice is being spread in certain parts of Denver and Colorado, the place and the land of our birth? Shall we sit idly by and let those, who have recently come to our state, compared to our long residence and life here, under your very noses erect barriers, cause strife and contention among our white friends, and thus embarrass and degrade us by circulating and spreading the agitation of segregation? While in Denver and Colorado our energetic and prosperous body of race Citizens has been making conspicuous progress in morals, religion, education, commercial enterprises, yet progress in the enjoyment of equal rights and equal opportunities has stopped. The progress in these other departments of life has been only by an up hill long drawn out fight against the handicap of denial of rights and would have been much greater but for a race discrimination practiced against none other of the very manly racial groups, especially by certain public officials in the State and in Denver. One reason is that our enemies are more persistent and better organized in DEPRIVING US OF OUR RIGHTS THAN we are PERSISTENT AND ORGANIZED in DEFENDING them. The formal complaint alleges it is the first time white soldiers have been compelled to stand trial before a court including in its membership officers of color. Further complaint is made because these are National Guard officers, although, of course temporarily in the federal service. The protest includes not only the enlisted men docketed for trial, but several hundred of their comrades. We are at a loss to know just what the head of the Army Department will do at Washington. These officers have been sworn into the service of the government as officers of the United States army. No question of color should come up. Men enlisting as privates and rising to any capacity should not have their choice as to who should try them for their misdemeanor. Not for years except under the State democratic administration has our women been so neglected in a representative manner and if Negro representative women worked for the success of the democrats, the Star fails to understand why Democrats neglected our women. Our white fellow citizens, coth democratic and republicans fail to realize our strength and thus treat us and hold us cheaply. We donot impress strong enough our existence, our protest, our spirit of resistance upon them. Neither they nor the world know or keenly realize how we feel and think and mean to act upon our wrongs and slights given us. But the Washington end of the government is so weak, with the election coming, it is in all probability they will pull another one of the "boners." However, the entire country will await with eagerness and see just what the out come will be. The ballot in this great republic was given as a means of defense against wrongs to the end that corrective methods would be set in action to the elimination of these wrongs. It was given that citizens of this Country and State, could by virile expression at the polls, show the utter abominable treatment given them, impress upon their oppressors or officials there in office our spirit on this unique wrong and at the same time enable this group of citizens to secure the necessary redress. Why has the Negro in politics in this state been treated so shabbily, is it his own fault or thrue the studied negligence of others? Every gubernatorial year glittering promises have been made before election, these silvery promises have been repudiated to the extent that the Negroes always suffers. Two messengerships are the prices paid, the reward given by the Governor of the Great State of Colorado, in recognition of the brain, brawn, intellectual culture and rehnement of the Progressive Negroes of Colorado!! WACO EDITORS GET YEAR IN JAIL FOR PUBLISHING ARTICLE. The jail in Waco, Texas, will hold a number of colored editors for one year. Their crime was the publication of an article from the "Chicago Defender" which said that the colored boy who was burned at the stake by a mob, several months ago, was innocent and that the husband of the murdered woman had confessed the crime. The story proved to be false and the editors were arrested for criminal libel, were thrown in jail and denied bail. Two weeks ago at their trial they were sentenced to jail. A colored attorney made an earnest and eloquent appeal for clemency for them but it was of no avail. The fact that the editor of the Chicago Defender is in Chicago, kept him from being lynched or sentenced like the rest. FIVE CENTS A COPY. MOBOCRATS ARE SAFE Dudley Lynchers in No Danger of Being Found Out. The mob which skulks around in the dark and commits crime is tenfold worse than the crook who sneaks around after dark in search of his victims. The mob is usually composed of a set of cowardly assassins—midnight marauders—that dare not even whimper in daylight. Such a band was the gang at Olathe that took the law in its hands and lynched Bert Dudley, the murderer. The sheriff and county attorney started an investigation and so far it is as fruitless as if it had been started by the lynchers themselves And when we hear from the investigation again it will be the same old "can't find out." This was a foregone conclusion when the great governor of Kansas re-installed Sheriff Carroll, whose baby act of cowardice permitted the mob to do its dastardly work and get away. Such an officer as Carroll needs a chromo for extreme bravery in case of emergency, for he certainly showed great bravery when when he allowed the mob to overpower him. It seems to us that the "overpowering" act was prearranged and the trap all set for the mob to get Dudley and make its get away Any man that is anything but a gigantic coward could have kept that mob at bay for more hours at least, especially when Sheriff Carroll was in the house and well armed. He could at least have left one of the dastardly cowards in the dust and from that one the rest could have been traced and punished for their crime. As it is the name of Kansas must be trailed in the dust along with such commonwealth as Georgia and South Carolina. Quaker City Movies Put Ban on Negroes Philadelphia, Pa.—It is reported that three moving picture theatres in this city have put a ban on the attendance of colored people in their houses. They are the Grand Theatre, 52d and Market Sts. the Locust Theatre 52d and Locust streets, and the Belmont Theatre, 52d street be tween Arch and Market. Signs indicating segregation and jim crowing of colored people have sprung up in all parts of the city since the influx of several thousand Negro laborers from the South brought her principally by the Pennsylvania Railroad for construction work. The Knickerbocker Theatre, 40th and Market streets, is, it is alleged accepting Negro patrons but segregating them.

For the purpose of conferring on important questions and conditions of deep concern to the colored people a conference of men and women of the race who are engaged in business, the various professions and others not thus engaged will be held at the Mount Carmel Baptist church, Third and I streets, northwest Washington, from Sept. 14 to 16. The promoters of the conference in issuing the call emphasize the fact that the signs of the times in church and state demand racial unity. The first of the conference will begin at 10 o'clock on Thursday morning. Sept. 15. The Baltimore and Washington ministers' conference, in joint session as early as June 26, indorsed the movement and authorized the call. Every ministers' conference and every fraternal organization and all other Negro organizations interested in the uplift of the race are urged and asked to send a representative. Every phase of the Negro status in the United States will be carefully considered with a view of memorializing congress and other lawmaking bodies to wipe out unjust legislation against our people. Prominent men and women of the race will be present and address the conference. The Rev. Dr. W. H. Jernagin, pastor of the Mount Carmel church, is chairman of the committee of arrangements, and Dr. William M. Alexander of Baltimore is the secretary. MEETING OF BAPTISTS. National Body, Unincorporated, Convene at Kansas, Mo., Sept. 6. Kansas City, Mo.-Patriotism has already begun to show itself in the preparations for the entertainment of the national Baptist convention, which is to meet here from Sept. 6 to 12, inclusive. This was evidenced when the committee, consisting of Drs. J. W. Hurse, J. B. Beckham and J. R. Williams announced that the national colors had been adopted as the decoration for the two Kansas Cities during the week of the convention. In addition to this they have decided to placard the homes of the citizens on which they are to use the photos and drawings of the most distinguished men of the denomination. Dr. Beckham stated that the committee wanted that the people of the west should see the "little unknown R. F. D.'s, who would be in Kansas City at the national Baptist convention, unincorporated." While he declared, as did the others working with him on the committee, that there would be some of the most stalwart figures in the religious world at the meeting, many of them had perhaps not been seen on a public platform as members of the national Baptist convention. It is said that this meeting will bring out more intellect, more culture, more wealth, more men that have achieved big things for the Negro Baptists than at any similar meeting. The committee has received information of more than a half dozen special train movements. There will be three solid special trains from Texas, one from southwest and west Texas, one from south and east Texas, another one from north Texas; two special trains from Louisiana, one emanating at New Orleans, that would bring the south Louisiana, Mobile and Alabama delegations, the other from north Louisiana, that would take in a portion of Arkansas and Texas; another special train from Mississippi which is to be made up of Vicksburg, the home of the president, Dr. E. P. Jones, which will come direct through to St Louis and from there to Kansas City. Another special from Tennessee that is to start at Nashville will go through to St. Louis. The Florida special starts at Jacksonville and is said to be coming over the famous Dixie Flyer route. The Carolina special train is to take the "Carolina Special route" by Cincinnati and St. Louis. The Kentucky delegation will blaze the way and call it the "Blue Grass State" route. SUCCESS OF IDEAL BENEFIT SOCIETY Good Results Shown at Session Hold In Washington. Supreme Lodge of Thrifty Organization of National Scope Records Notable Growth In Membership and Finance Within Four Years—Supreme Master A. W. Holmes is Much Gratified. Washington.—The fourth annual session of the supreme lodge of the National Ideal Benefit society, an incorporated institution with headquarters at Richmond, Va., was recently held in the Liberty Baptist church in this city. The gathering of delegates to this meeting was indeed representative. There were prominent men and women from all parts of the country. The 1637 REV. DR. W. T. JOHNSON. meeting opened under very glowing auspices. The people of the District of Columbia gave the delegates a very cordial reception and in every way endeavored to make their stay with them comfortable and profitable. The addresses of welcome were delivered by the following well known persons: The Rev. H. Powell, D. D., pastor of Liberty Baptist church; Rev. George M. Oliver, D. D., pastor of Union Wesley A. M. E. Zion church; Mrs. S. M. Stockton, assistant lecturer of the Ideal Nursery convention, and Mrs. Amanda E. Newton. Responses to these splendid addresses were made by Mrs. Margaret R. Johnson, Rev. W. T. Johnson, D. D., supreme chaplain, and Mrs. Rosa Thompson, president of the Ideal Nursery convention and supreme lecturer of the National Ideal Benefit society. The business of the supreme lodge was dispatched with speed and accuracy from beginning to end. The reports of Supreme Master A. W. Holmes, Supreme Secretary Mrs. I. E. Charity and Supreme Treasurer T. L. Beverly were replete with information and presented the standing of the supreme lodge in a clear and unmistakable manner. This organization is only four years old, but during that short period of time it has made rapid and unprecedented progress. The nursery department, like the senior department, is in a healthy condition, and the report of Mrs. Rosa Thompson, supreme national lecturer, was an eye opener to the many people whose privilege it was to hear her in the Florida Avenue Baptist church, of which the Rev. W. A. Taylor, D. D., is the pastor. Up to the present time, October, 1916, the enrolled membership of the organization amounts to 6,124. It has paid out in death claims $2,100.85 this year, with a balance to the credit of the death claim department of $3,340.51, all death claims being paid up to date. This in itself speaks well for the organization and its honest and accurate management. The delegates attending this convention were very enthusiastic over the splendid reports that were made, and they returned to their homes to do greater work for the coming year. The following officers were elected by the supreme lodge to serve it for another year: Supreme master, A. W. Holmes; supreme vice master, Rev. W. L. Anderson; supreme mistress, Mrs. Lucinda J. Carter; supreme secretary, Mrs. Ida E. Charity; supreme assistant secretary, Mrs. Rosa Thompson; supreme treasurer, T. L. Beverly; supreme chaplain, Rev. W. T. Johnson, D. D. supreme left guide, Catherine S. Jackson; supreme right guide, James Richardson; supreme right herald, Sallie M. Stockton; supreme left herald, M. T. Robinson; supreme inside sentinel Porter E. Agent; supreme outside sentinel, Plato Marrow; supreme past pre-siding mistress, Rosa B. Wilkerson and supreme auditor, Susie H. Robinson. The supreme master, A. W. Holmes is highly justified in feeling proud of this organization and its marvelous growth, which has been due largely to his self sacrificing labor and the loyal support given to him by the members of his fraternal official family. INDICATIONS OF RACE LOYALTY Interest Revived In Washington Memorial Fund. BALTIMORE MEETING NOV. 18 Leaders In Work of Raising Funda to Perpetuate the Memory of Tuskegee Institute's Founder Receive Encouraging Messages Pledging Hearty Support—Lineup of Rural Schools. Tuskegee Institute, Alabama.—With the coming of fall and the passing of hot weather the country is settling down to hard work. Schools are crowded to capacity, and business houses are looking forward to a year of prosperity. This is election year, and cotton is selling at 16 cents. Loyal men and women of the race are, as a consequence of these conditions, again turning their attention to the Booker T. Washington memorial A. E. DEAN WILLIAM PICKENS. fund. Voluntary letters are beginning to come in pledging contributions and outlining arrangements for mass meetings which are to be held in various parts of the country this fall. Quite a number of rural schools which closed last spring before April 5, the day set aside for school children to give to the fund, have asked to be permitted to raise collections now. These teachers are faithfully keeping their promises and have written to say that they will send in larger sums than they first thought possible because of the generally better conditions which prevail now in the country districts as against those of the early spring. It is hoped that other teachers of city and rural schools will also send contributions to the fund from their pupils. The memorial fund committees in various cities which held over their mass meetings and active campaigns until fall are in many instances getting effective work done in arousing the colored people to the duty of responding to this appeal for one-eighth of the $2,000,000 memorial fund to perpetuate the work of the late Booker T. Washington—that is, $250,000. Of the sum which the white people were asked to give to this fund they have given more than half, while the colored people have not yet given one-fifth of the amount they were asked to give. The colored people of Baltimore have pledged themselves to raise 1 per cent of the amount to be given by the colored people. This will be £2,500. Deciding upon a definite amount to be raised is one of the important things, because it outlines for the people just the amount of work they have before them. Besides, it gives poise and dignity to the campaign in a city and affords better opportunity for effective work. At the monster mass meeting to be held in Baltimore on Nov. 15 there will be an excellent program, and on that date the churches, schools, fraternal organizations and the clubs and societies of various sorts will make their returns, following a whirlwind campaign of the city. Harry T. Pratt. Dean William Pickens of Morgan college and other prominent Baltimore citizens have written most encouraging letters to Tuskegee institute regarding the outlook for a successful campaign. In his annual address before the national Baptist convention in September Dr. E. C. Morris, the president, called upon the members of the convention and the prominent men and women of the race to help raise this $250,000 from among the colored people. Dr. Morris said, "The national Baptist convention will greatly honor itself if the hundreds of prominent leaders will throw the full weight of their influence into the efforts now being made to raise our part of the memorial fund to perpetuate the work founded by Dr. Booker T. Washington." With such support from the Baptist denomination, of which Dr. Washington was a member, and with the support of the memorial fund committees in cities and teachers in rural communities the leaders in the movement hope to raise by Thanksgiving day a very large part of the sum which the colored people have pledged.

The Star is deeply grieved to know that some of our leading women are willing to swallow Carlson when they know and have discussed with us how he has ignored the colored women. What do they think Gov. Carlson deep down in his heart of hearts thinks of these Negro women who are now holering out their lungs for him, when he has for two years past ignored them? Women, stop and think, is it womanly? Can you get respect by licking the hand that smites you? Is it for the promised job that you are so willing and ready to sell the whole set of Negro women out? Then, if it is a question of sale, why not let the man or the Star sell out the whole race, as men and newspapers have done before? Don't you know when you lay down and surrender your womanly principles, that you lose even tho you may get some white man's or woman's applause and sweet enconiums? Why not let Negro women be first for the race and then for the white politicians? We trust that these women can see their errors. If these women are right in advocating Mr. Carlson's election, then the Star is wrong. Not one single person, in speech or otherwise, has disputed the charges made by the Star against Mr. Carlson. If the Star is right, then they are wrong and it must be that some unseen and unknown motive prompts these women to "holler" for Carlson, who has ignored them. Dear Negro voters, do you know that in Denver the politicians hold you cheap; that they think any old forty-years-ago speech, slavery's freedom, and how they fought for you will answer the Negroes' present needs of today. How many of the Republican on Democratic politicians who will address you will tell you, "I am with you in your fight against segregation. Count on me." Oh how some Negroes fall for this political gush. No wonder Negroes only get messengerships and maid jobs. You discount your own selves. Dear, Readers, does it matter to you in principle when a man has broken his word of honor to you and ignored you and yours, whether one or a hundred or even thousands, endorse that man whom you had an occasion to know? Should you stultify your manhood to endorse him when he has stung you severely once? Pray, tell me, dear reader, how can you ever stand up and be respected if you constantly lay down because a Governor has given two messengerships and at the same time ignored our women? How can our women whom he has ignored encourage and get votes for a man who has ignored them? Think on these things. WOMEN STICK TOGETHER AND ACT AS ONE. The Star is appealing to our women's political organizations for them to remain separate and distinct to themselves, acting for themselves. Do not let any men get credit or receive jobs or money due women by virtue of their voting strength. In other words, women look after your own affairs as the men are doing theirs. You do so in lodges, in churches and in clubs. Why not in politics? If women want recognition let it be known now thru your own organization who will be recognized. Take nothing for granted. The candidate who will not recognize you now, don't vote for him. They need your votes. Have you been approached yet by any of the State house messengers who are privately going around trying to convince the Colored people why they should vote for Carlson? Have you heard of the glowing promises of jobs, they make you? Have you been invited up to the State Capitol to some "Massa" (a white man) who will doubtless promise you a job to work for and vote for Mr. Carlson? The Star is opposing Mr. Carlson on a principle of square deal and double dealing and not from a question of politics. Remember that the principle in the man would be the same whether he be a democrat or republican. The Star feels safe in saying that true, real maniv Negroes will not stifly their manhood by voting for Mr. Carlson when they can preserve it by not voting at all for the Governor. If you believe that Mr. Carlson treated our women right by AMPA 2962 et, Denver, Colorado $2.00 1.00 .50 rate, all subscriptions must be paid us sent to subscribers are lost or stolen. or when due, inform us by postal card date of the missing number.

The Star's contention for our political rights and the emoluments which come after them is not of party politics, but of real living principles. Whether we should approve with our voice and vote a man who has ignored our women and ourselves. That is the question. Should we do it? A CHANCE OF A LIFE TIME. Denver Negroes, Invest in Wyoming Oil Lands—A Chance to Better Your Condition. Few people know of the wonderful possibilities in the oil business and oftentimes people who do know of these possibilities of enormous profits have no opportunity to get into a good thing, for the reason that they are blinded because of an universal prejudice and believe that the "other fellow" is getting more of his share than he is entitled to. Reasoning thus, he does not stop to think that the incorporators have not only their money at stake, but are using their experience, which has cost them hours or tireless energy, many years of their lives and probably hours of laying wide awake nights to devise ways and means to bring their efforts to a successful conclusion. A short time ago, Messrs. A. A. Waller and E. L. Means became interested in an oil company which was developing a promising field in the Brenning Basin, Wyo., and these gentlemen became so enthusiastic over the possibilities offered by the company that they secured an option on a considerable sized block of land for the purpose of interesting the progressive Colored people of Denver on a club basis, with the ultimate purpose of drilling for oil upon the block set aside for this association or club, all of which land hes contiguous to the Brenning Basin. Messrs. Waller and Means have been successful to the point of having interested almost enough members to complete the organization and last Tuesday evening the members met in the offices of the Colored American Loan and Realty Co., 2735 Welton St. The general manager, Mr. Shannon, of the Douglass-Wyoming Oil Co., told the members present of the organization of the company; of the particular price of land; outlined the working and developing plans, and went into details of their expansion program, answering questions which were propounded to him to the satisfaction of the many present. He said that there were no inner circle nor secrets and invited inspection of the company's books and method of operation. The hour was late when Mr. Shannon finished, but there were quite a number of the club who increased their holdings and several who had not already joined, made application for membership. Because of the late hour the plans for organization of the "progressive Colored People's Oil Association" were deferred until Monday night, Oct. 16, at 8 o'clock, when plans for the election of the president, vice-president, secretary and treasurer, together with the otter officers, will take place. There are a few memberships in this club yet open at the present price, a small payment, and the rest on easy terms, can secure you an opportunity to better your conditions.

Kansas City.—Twenty years of actual work in the religious publishing endeavor were beautifully shown in facts and figures at Armory hall, in this city, where the thirty-sixth annual session of the national Baptist convention was recently held. The report, which was distributed in printed form, was from the Rev. Richard Henry Boyd, D. D., secretary of the national Baptist publishing board and manager of its plant, which is located at Nashville, Tenn. The board began business in 1897, and since that time his report shows that year by year it has grown in importance as an asset to the industry of the Negro Baptists of the country. The tabulation of the work done shown on page 29, where, year by year, the number of letters written, the periodicals circulated and the money spent are shown, with the total receipts, makes interesting reading. The report shows that in twenty years the board has received 3,092,363 letters and has circulated in that time 143,502,402 periodicals, while the receipts and expenses for the past twenty years total $2,450,095.47. In addition to the great showing made by the institution, Secretary Boyd presented to the convention one of the most complete compilations of what has transpired during the year that could be got up. Drs. J. P. Robinson of Little Rock, Ark., and James D. Brooks of Alken, S. C., entertained the convention with a report of the doings of the home mission board for the year 1916, which has just closed. Dr. Robinson has been chairman of the home mission board for nineteen years. The Rev. Dr. Brooks made the principal report, which was received with marked attention, and the convention listened with interest to his review of real missionary operations. The secretary showed that $1,725.15 had been expended in the operation of his work during the past year and that in spite of handicaps the missionary spirit was ever uppermost in the minds of the people throughout the jurisdiction of the convention. NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC! ANOTH ER INCREASE IN PAPER. ADVERTISING RATES IN CREASE. Owing to the steady increase in paper stock, The Star has been compelled to increase its advertising rates of the paper to take effect on and after August 1st, 1918. All church advertisements will be 5c a line straight for liners. Other liner advertisement will be 7½c per line. Condolences, card of thanks, social write uss, etc., 75c and upwards, with a slight proportional increase in all display advertisements. TRAINING LEADERS. How Dr. James E. Shepard Helps the Masses. As the work of the National Training school of Durham, N.C., increases in efficiency the more Dr. James E. Shepard, president of the institution, seems to feel the responsibility of making the school a more effective agency for uplifting the masses of our people. In order to reach the masses in the most direct and helpful way, Dr. Shepard believes in thoroughly competent leaders in the various lines of business and the professions. Dr. Shepard has issued the following invitation, which is not only timely, but of far-reaching significance: "The National Training school extends a cordial greeting to the ministers of all denominations to be the guests of the school for one week, beginning Feb. 10, 1917, and closing Feb. 16, 1917, for the purpose of discussing the following kindred questions: "What is the moral condition of the people of your community? Is crime on the increase? If not, what is the cause of its reduction? "What is the attitude of your community, as far as you know, as to lynching? Have you ever attempted interracial co-operation along civic, moral and religious lines? Do the ministers of both races ever meet for conference? "What is the sanitary condition? What effort, if any, has been made to improve the sanitary condition? "Is the death rate increasing? "To what extent do you cooperate with civic improvement leagues? "Has settlement work been conducted to any extent in your community and with what results? "What has been the effect of temperance organizations, and have you co-operated with them? "To what extent has the work of the Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. C. A. been effective in your community? Do you approve them? "What is the general attitude of the day school teacher toward the church and Sunday school? "What is the religious condition of our people? Revivals, how conducted? "The conference will be farreaching in its power for good. We earnestly desire your presence. "For any additional information address President James E. Shepard. Durham, N. C." FISK OWNS SACRED TROPHY. Famous Tennessee School Given Bible Once Owned by Lincoln. By D. WELLINGTON BERRY. Nashville, Tenn. — President F. A. McKenzie of Fisk university has come into the possession of a Bible which was presented to Abraham Lincoln by a delegation of colored men at Baltimore in 1804. The Bible is to remain in the permanent custody of the noted educational institution for colored people, having been sent direct to President McKenzie from Hildene, Manchester, Vt., by Robert T. Lincoln, son of the former president. The book was received by the university the past term, and arrangements were made to hold special exercises with reference to the gift. President McKenzie in making the announcement read a number of letters that proved to be very interesting and also delivered a short address, in which he declared that the gift would ever be regarded at the university as a sacred trust. The book is to be used at the school-only upon very solemn and important occasions, it is understood. President Lincoln in accepting the gift from the colored people was quoted as saying: "It is the best gift which God has ever given man. All the good from the Saviour of the world is communicated to us through this book. But for the book we could not know right from wrong. Therefore I return you my sincere thanks for the very elegant copy of the great book of God which you present." In his letter to President McKenzie, Robert T. Lincoln, son of the great emancipator, said, "It has seemed to me better that this notable testimonial should be preserved in some institution where its resting place will be permanent, and I can think of no more fitting selection than the institution founded by General Clinton Bowen Fisk immediately upon the conclusion of a distinguished service in the war which resulted in the abolition of human slavery in our country." President McKenzie also quoted from the speech of Rev. S. W. Chase, the colored minister who acted as spokesman of the delegation which presented the book to President Lincoln. In part Rev. Mr. Chase said: "Since we have been incorporated in the American family we have been true and loyal, and we now stand ready to defend our country. We are ready to be armed and trained in military matters in order to protect and defend the star spangled banner. We come forward to present a copy of the Holy Scriptures as a token of respect to you for your active part in the cause of emancipation." ```markdown ``` With every 30 new yearly cash subscribers to "The Denver Star," at One Dollar and a Half a year, or for the total amount of every 30 cash yearly subscribers, who pay in advance from their expiring date, One Dollar and a half each, "The Denver Star" will give a Talking Machine, delivered to your residence, to each and every person who brings in the total cash amount of the 30 subscribers paid in advance.

God grant that you may never be call. ed upon to make the sacrifice offered by those who have gone before you that the freedom and civilization and enlightenment which the flag embodies and represents may abide and remain forever.” ‘The men made a splendid impression upon the governor and the public who witnessed the presentation ceremony and the marching of the men in squad formation.

HUDSON ISSUES STATEMENT. Burroughs’ Integrity, He ‘Says. Professor R. B. Hudson of Selma. Ala., in his official capacity with the national Baptist convention, which held {ts session at Savannal. Ga., In September, has issued the following statement of the now famous Bur roughs episode. He uses lines from Douglass before giving the conven. tion's attitude on the matter: “Where there is no insult intended there is no injury done.’ “The effort by some apparent friends to make Miss N. H. Burroughs believe that she has been wrongel by the auditor of the national Baptist con- vention is doing ber and her work a great injustice. “The facts are these: Auditor Mf. M. Rodgers simply sald there 1s need of a connecting link between the deed to the land on which the school 4s built and the incorporation, ‘National Train. Ing school,’ and a missing lnk be- tween the training school and the wo- men’s convention and recommended that {t be ‘fixed’ during the ifetime of Mrs. J, M. Layton and Miss N. H. Burroughs, trustees, and for this the convention voted. “As proof of their confidence in the integrity of Miss Burroughs the follow Ing resolution was unanimously adopt: ed by the convention: “Be It renolved, That thin convention «0 on record as expressing full confidence Jn the Integrity and high purpose of Miss Nannie H. Burroughs and that it ts the sense of the body that no action taken by it be construed as reflecting in any degree upon this great Christian woman, “I hereby certify that the above is a true and correct copy of the action tak. en by the national convention in ses sion Monday, pt. 11, 1916, “R.

British Attitude Toward Slavery Was Largely Responsible For Early Employment of Freemen In War For American Independence—Why Washington Rescinded His First Order. The employment of colored men became a subject of much importance at an early stage of the American War of Independence. The British naturally regarded slavery as an element of weakness in the condition of the colonies, in which the slaves were numerous, and laid their plans to gain the colored men and induce them to take up arms against their masters by promising them liberty on this condition, says the San Francisco Chronicle. The situation was looked upon by the public men of the colonies as alarming, and several of them urged the congress to adopt the policy of emancipation. But, while the general question of emancipation was defeated, the exigencies of the contest again and again brought up the practical one of employment for Negroes, whether bond or free. In May, 1775, Hancock and Warren's committee of safety introduced the following formal resolution: "Resolved, That it is the opinion of this committee, as the contest now between Great Britain and the colonies respects the liberties and privileges of the latter, which the colonies are determined to maintain, that the admission of any person as a soldier into the army now raising, but only such as are freemen, will be inconsistent with the principles that are to be supported and reflect dishonor on these colonies and that no slaves be admitted into this army upon any consideration whatever." Washington took command of the army around Boston on July 3, 1775. The instructions for the recruiting officers from his headquarters at Cambridge prohibited the enlistment of any "Negro." Notwithstanding all this, the fact remains, as Bancroft says, that "the roll of the army at Cambridge had from its first formation borne the names of men of color." Free Negroes stood in the ranks by the side of white men. In the beginning of the war they had entered the "provincial army, and the colored men, like others, were retained in the service." A committee on conference, consisting of Dr. Franklin, Benjamin Harrison and Thomas Lynch, met at Cambridge, Oct. 18, 1775, with the deputy governors of Connecticut and Rhode Island and the committee of the council of Massachusetts Bay to confer with General Washington and advise a method for renovating the army. On the 23d of October the Negro question was presented and disposed of as follows: "Ought not Negroes to be excluded from the new enlistment, especially such as are slaves?" All were thought improper by the council of officers. It was agreed that they be rejected altogether. In general orders issued Nov. 12, 1775, Washington says, "Neither Negroes, boys unable to bear arms or old men unfit to endure the fatigues of the campaign are to be enlisted." Washington, however, in the last days of the year, under representations to him that the free Negroes who had served in his army were very much dissatisfied at being discarded and, fearing that they might seek employment in the British army, took the responsibility to depart from the resolution respecting them and gave license for their being enlisted. Washington promised that if there was any objection on the part of congress he would discontinue the enlisting of colored men, but on Jan. 15, 1776, congress determined "that the free Negroes who had served faithfully in the army at Cambridge may be enlisted therein, but no others." The entire aspect of the affair changed when in 1770 the south began to be invaded. South Carolina especially was unable to make any effectual efforts with militia by reason of the great proportion of citizens necessary to remain at home to prevent insurrections among the Negroes and their desertion to the enemy, who were assiduous in their endeavors to excite both revolt and desertion. The result was that in all the southern states the legislatures passed resolutions to enlist Negroes, and the colored patriots of the Revolution are as much entitled as their white brethren to credit for the ardor with which they fought the enemy, whether they were bondmen or freemen. It has never been possible to give an exact statement as to the number of Negroes who served in the Revolution for the reason that they were generally mixed in regiments and not calculated separately.

BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION TO HOLD ANNUAL MEETING Thrifty Religious Body to Convene at Baptist Temple, New York, Oct. 26. The annual meeting of the New York colored Baptist state convention will be held at the Baptist temple. Rev. M. B. Hucles pastor, beginning on Thursday day morning, Oct. 26. The women's auxiliary to the convention will be held at the same church on Wednesday, Oct. 25. Arrangements are being made by the church to entertain the delegates and visitors, who are expected to attend in large numbers. The Rev. George H. Sims, who has won fame as a church organizer and financier, is president of the convention. He is pastor of the large and influential Union Baptist church in West Sixty-third street, which by its diligent work and wholesome influence has transformed that section of New York city known as San Juan Hill into a most desirable neighborhood in which to live. The Rev. Dr. Sims is a native of Virginia and, like a large number of thrifty men of the various professions and of Virginia birth who are New Yorkers, has had a most successful career in the administration of the affairs of the Union Baptist church. In the early years of his ministry in the city he had a most difficult field to cultivate. The section in which Union Baptist church is located was one of the worst on Manhattan Island. The large foreign element made it hard for a colored person to keep a permanent residence on San Juan Hill, and those who did cared little for religion or good moral conduct. But G. H. Sims was undaunted, fearing neither the foreign born nor his own people in the matter of doing God's service, so he marched right on with a few followers through the dives and dens, preaching the gospel of Jesus, the gospel of correct living, civil manners, sympathy and human kindness until thousands bowed at his feet, seeking to live better lives. The colored Baptists of the state are doing a most excellent work through the convention for home missions, education and the building up of small congregations in the outlying districts near large cities. It also extends its support to denominational schools out of the state. The Virginia seminary and college at Lynchburg is one of its chief beneficiaries. With the proper support from the large churches in New York city and vicinity the convention will be in position at the coming session to assist very materially such churches as the Friendship Baptist in East New York, Rev. W. F Bowden pastor, and the Mount Carne congregation at Arverne. Y., in charge of the Rev. E. R. Artist. LUTHER MANUEL'S FORTUNE Son of Late Oklahoma Merchant Inherits Vast Wealth. Adam Manuel, who died recently in Colorado, was said to be one of the wealthiest Creek freedmen of Tulsa, Okla., his native home. Many persons who are residents of Muskogee county are said to be anxious to become guardian for Adam Manuel's children. The appointment of a proper guardian will naturally have to be decided by the courts. There are five of the children living and the elder Manuel inherited the allotments of two who are dead, but the guardianship is sought because of Luther Manhip, a minor son, who is believed to be the richest Negro boy in the world. When the allotments were made for the Manuel family those of Luther, thirteen, and Rafield, his younger brother, were in a locality where the land was worthless for farming purposes. Their father complained that the land was valueless, but he was unable to have any change made. It turned out that the allotment of Luther, believed to be worthless, was in the heart of the Cushing oil field. Since that field was developed nearly six years ago his income from it has amounted to from $20,000 to $25,000 a month. The allotment of Rafield Manuel is not so valuable. The allotments of the other children are good for agricultural purposes only. Sarah Rector has been considered the most fortunate of all those among the Creek freedmen who took allotments in that section of the country, but her fortune is far less than that of Luther Manuel. For a time when the Cushing oil field was at its best, or for more than two years, his income was often $1,000 a day.
