The papers formerly known as The Statesman and The Independent, have been merged into The Denver Star HON. JULIUS C. GUNTER MAN OF THE HOUR Men's Mistakes Make Opportunity for Others. Human life is often thought of as a voyage over the sea, and it is a stormy one at best when upon the political waters. There is no seaman who travels upon these waters who does not suffer. Things good in themselves must often be given up that things better may be had. The sacrifice of a valuable cargo of human life might be saved, is a true picture of what life is upon the water sometime demands thruout its course. Ordinary life is a schooling in the scale of relative values. Knowing and practicing this as we do in every day life, the Negro in this presidential and state elections was compelled to make certain sacrifices in order that greater values which money cannot buy, fawning cannot win and bulldozing cannot effect—the value of manhood—might be saved and kept in tact. Governor Carlson thru his actions in one case and lack of actions in other cases had put it square up to the Negro to swallow or resent wrongs. The Negro fittingly resented the wrongs and repudiating him sent him into oblivion by help electing Mr. Julius C. Gunter. The Star played its part while the colored people hearkened and acted. The Negroes have made great sac rifices of their friends in order to elect Mr. Gunter and others of the State democratic party. Since that is so, what duty do the democrats owe the Negro? With segregation staring us in the face, with our increased need of new friends, with the passing of some of our old friends, what can the Negro hope from the new officials and their friends. Not a disparag ing word has been said concerning the ability, integrity, manhood and conservatism of Mr. Gunter, but he has been recommended to us most highly. When we say OUR new Governor we mean that Governor Gunter is as much Governor over us as he is over any one else. We trust that he will give us a square deal with on open field treating us as well, if not better than his former predecessors. While we are interested most vitally in the appointments yet we are most deeply concerned in the treatment to be accorded us, as American Citizens of color. We ask nothing more nor nothing less because of our race or color, we simply asked justice, simple justice to be let alone, rise or fall as we may. Is Governor Gunter big enough man broad enough Christian free The Denver Star ESTABLISHED 1888 from petty prejudices or caprices, as to give us a plain ordinary square deal? Because of his personality, peculiar surrounding and antecedents, he has an extraordinary opportunity to show the world that he is bigger than his National party. The Star sincerely believes that he is just such a man and has influenced others to so believe and it will be up to the Governor-Elect to let time write his answer. Governor-Elect Gunter is held in the greatest confidence and utmost respect by all, democrats and republicans and while Governor we hope he will be governor of all the people. Democrats, since the Negro has shown you that he can trust you, we are now asking you, one and all to be true Democrats, big or little and help us to crush Jim Crowism in Colorado. You can do it. You can "regulate" all democrats who are active in the support of such a pernicious business and give them to understand that the "powers that be oppose it." You can help us wonderfully, if you will. There is no more reason why Negroes should be segregated in Colorado than why Catholics should be segregated. If your key note word "social justice" means anything it certainly means "simple justice' with a square deal for everybody. Has Colorado big enough and broad enough Democrats to see that even the humblest citizen's rights should be protected. Will the State Democrats permit Colorado's soil to be the first Western State whose sacred soil will be polluted with "Jim Crowism" Is not and can not Colorodo, as beautiful as she is, be made one place in the United States where all of her citizens can not only feel but actually receive justice. In our courts the democratic judges give us a fair treatment and other places at the city hall and we, now appeal to the Democrccy of Denver and this state "to kill" Jim Crowism. Will you go on record as opposing it? Your answer will be determined by your actions The Star hopes that you will be true democrats in word and work and in truth and that it did not make a grievous mistake when it advised "a white friend was a white friend, democrat or a republican" and to vote for you was to help make friends. Only six republicans were elected and the Negroes elected the District Attorney, and State Assemblymen. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, NOV. 11, 1916 Tuesday's Election and It's Lessons. Republicans Repudiate Carlson, Who Lost Precinct, County and State. Advise His Defeat for Party Treachery. Negroes Follow Advice. In order to present a solid front to the enemy at the fall election, the Republicans who were candidates for office after the State assembly all took what was termed "a republican primary pledge" which "pledged the whole hearted and active support to those Republicans who shall receive the highest vote for the respective office for which they were then contending at the primaries to be held Sept. 12, 1916." Mr. Carlson, altho often asked to sign, refused flatly to do so altho his attention had been called by Mr. Nicholson in a public speech just before the primaries. When you mistreat a white man and he knows it and feels it keenly he fights you even tho it may put him temporarily to the disadvantage. We herewith print a letter sent the day before election to all Republican voters by the Independent Republican League of Colorado. This is a photographic reproduction of a pledge signed by the republican candidates who stood for nomination at the Republican Primaries. GOVERNOR CARLSON'S NAME IS NOT THERE. He was repeatedly appealed to, to sign it, and he flatly refused. Why? The question answers itself. He intended to be an independent candidate, and thus defeat Mr. Nicholson. This is the same man, who, thronghtout the state in his campaign in September, denounced Mr. Nicholson's supporters as belonging only to the "VICIOUS AND CORRUPT ELEMENT." If he told the truth, there are 38,878 men and women who are of that vicious and corrupt element. Do you, sir or madam, chance to be one who voted for Mr. Nicholson, thus proving that you are of the VICIOUS AND CORRUPT ELEMENT? The campaign which Carlson has waged in this state, has been the most shameless piece of political treachery in the state's history. In his colossal egotism, he has ranted night after night about himself, without one word of favorable comment for our candidate for President. National issues, congressional, state and local candidates have been literally slaughtered by him, in this campaign, to satisfy his senatorial ambition in the future. Over $50,000, one half of which was contributed by the national committee, has been used solely in Carlson's interests. Outside of this candidate, the republicans of this state ought to support the national ticket, and every candidate upon the state, congressional and local tickets. WE HAVE BEEN ASSASSINATED IN OUR OWN HOUSE HOLD. The infamous, shameless treachery of Governor Carlson and his advisors, has well nigh destroyed the republican organization in this state. Should he be re-elected, THERE WILL BE NO REPUBLICAN PARTY. We urge upon all Republicans, who believe in fair play and decent politics, to vote for Judge Gunter. Gunter is a prohibitionist in principle, CARLSON BECAME A PROHIBITIONIST FOR OFFICE. Judge Gunter's record on the supreme bench, as a safe, conservative and capable official, who will enforce to the letter all of the laws of the state, without brag or bombast, is well known. More, his word is worth par throughout the state. NO ONE HAS EVER HEARD CARLSON, YET, CLAIM TO BE A REPUBLICAN. The support given by a party of his committee, and by his appointees, and apparently acquiesced in by him, for Lindsey for Juvenile Judge, his flat refusal to declare himself on that issue, his shameful neglect of his associates on our ticket coupled with his selfish, egotistical campaign, proves beyond doubt, that he is not a republican. We urge all self respecting Republicans to vote against him. VOTE FOR EVERY REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE ON THE BALLOT EXCEPT CARLSON. The people are not mocked. Two years ago this very month Geo. A. Carlson was chosen to be the Governor of the great state of Colorado and was given by the republicans a handsome majority. Tuesday he went down to terrible and humiliating defeat. failing to gain any appreciable county victory with which to salve the sores that he takes with him into his obscurity. This is not republican espice. It is Justice! Gov. Dear Sir and Madam: the enemy at the fall candidates for office affes termed "a republice whole hearted and no shall receive the for which they were held Sept. 12, 1916." refused flatly to do by Mr. Nicholson in a.

SEGREGATION PETITIONS CIRCULATED THRUOUT CITY Petitions to initiate "an ordinance providing for limited segregation of the black and white races" are in in circulation in Denver The Denver Property Owners' Protective league is back of the movement. J. Norman, an attorney in the Equitable building retained by the league, declared that the ordinance involved no hardship on the colored people, and that it had been framed after similar measures in other cities which had already been approved by supreme courts, "It will interfere with the property rights of no colored person," declared the attorney. "It prohibits both white and black people from moving into a block the majority of of the residents of which are people of the opposite race. For instance, if a black man moves into a vacant block, no white man can thereafter invade it. It becomes a colored people's block. Cambridge Folk Stop "Birth of A Nation." Cambridge Mass.,—As a result of the editorial agitation of Editor J. Thomas Harrison of the Advocate, the colored people prevented "The Birth of a Nation" from appearing in a theatre here. Ministers and business men headed by T. S. Harton led a delegation to the city hall and entered a protest to Mayor Rockwood, who revoked the theatre's license. Carlson made certain pre-election promises to white and black republicans alike and echo of his words still clung in the air when he had broken his promises. He became weak and false from personal conceit and foreswore duty and honor for deception and betrayal, thinking that the wrath of the party which exalted him to his high office, then die out. It used to be so, but even the silent and unoffending Negro has learned his hard lesson and it is not so any more with any race. Tuesday when the people reached out the giant hand of their disapproval and fling Gov. Carlson back into obscurity from whence he had been plucked. A warning had been written across the sky in flaming letters that no man is bigger than the party which made him. This, at least, Mr. Carlson has done for us. He is the "terrible example' that will make all future Republicans sit up and take notice and go in fear and trembling of their party's wrath and disapproval. State historian & Nat ural History Society FIVE-CENTS A COPE. LynchFather,Drive Five Sons from Home Lawless Whites of South Carolina Say Lynched Man's Family Must Leave. Abbeville, S. C.—Following their action in lynching Anthony Crawford, a well to-do farmer, who was courageous enough to defend himself from an assault by a white man, the brave and gallant white men of this community, to the number of more than a hundred, have decided that the five Crawford boys who survive their father must leave this neighborhood. Their declared reason for making this demand is that it is for the sake of peace and for the best interest of the community. The hundred or more farmers, or hill billies, as they are known, wanted to call on the boys in a body, but citizens of the town persuaded them to allow a committee of citizens to see the boys. This was done, and the boys asked to be given until November 15 to wind up their business affairs. Mr. Crawford owned about 500 acres of land and was reputed to be worth considerable money. The request of the boys was granted. Whites Will Get Property. It is well understood that even with the time granted it will be impossible for the Crawford boys to effect any advantageous arrangement for disposing of their holdings and so brave white farmers will probably take advantage of the opportunity to secure slices of the fine Crawford properties at nominal prices. Later in the day, after this arrangement had been settled upon, the hill billies because they didn't go in a bunch to run the boys out of town. this feeling helped on, undoubted ly, by resorting to illegal dispensers of alcoholic cococctions, and so the crowd went about the town to the various places of business conducted by colored men and demanded that they shut up their shops. The better element of the town's citizenry, judiciously mingling with the crowd, effectually prevented any actual outbreak of violence a gainst the colored shopkeepers, who closed their shops and kept out of the way. With the departure of the outlaw gang from the city, the excitement died out, and the next day the Negroes were allowed to take up their business pursuits. But the edict against the Crawford boys stands, and they must sacrifice everything and leave the community.—N. Y. Age.

SOME OF HIS ACHIEVEMENTS Brilliant Young Composer Who Grad: uated From the Oberlin Conservatory of Music Evinces Wonderful Capac: ity as Organizer and Leader of Chora Work—Knows How to Get Results. Hampton, Va—R, Nathaniel Dett, di rector of vocal music at Hampton in stitute, whose home is at Niagara Falls, is a Canadian by birth and 1s one of the most successful of the younger American musicians of the Present day. In 1908 he was graduat ed from the Oberlin Conservatory o! Music with the degree of bachelor of music, being the first Negro in Americs to receive such a degree for work done in original composition. As he had been a brilliant pianis from childhood. the general expecta. ft eS a 4 a Pa rr a (Director of Vocal Music at the Hampton (Va) institute] tion was that he would choose the ca- ‘reer of an artist. But being endowed with something of the niissionary ‘spirit, he took up teaching in the south. For three years he was director of mu- ‘sle at Lane college, Jackson, Tenn. Under his direction the Lane College Choral soclety became a great factor at the school and in the life of the com- ‘munity. Cantatas given by the stu- ‘dents and the recitals held under thelr auspices broke all previous records for attendance. During the season of 1910 he gave two plano recitals in Memphis, attract- ing the largest crowds of colored peo- ple ever assembled there to hear a sin- gle performer. He successfully ap- peared twice in Birmingham, Ala., un- der the auspices of the Inter-se club to assist in raising money for char- itable purposes. The second tour to Birmingham included appearances at Mason City and the Alabama State col- lege. During the last two years at Lane be composed the Magnolia suite and five numbers for the piano. The next year he was elected simul- taneously as director of music to the Kansas City High school and the Lin- ‘oln institute, Jefferson City, Mo. He chose the latter place, and his work again met with great success. Having charge of the Lincoln institute orches- tra, a new outlet was given to his cre- ative genius, and his orchestral ar- rangements were among the most striking and popular features of the school’s programs. The plano and voice students being much advanced, he very wisely devoted more time to their in- structions, sacrificing his own public performances to his pupils’ advance- ment. As a result cantatas, solo re- citals, orchestral and choral concerts given by the students followed in splendid succession. His second suite, “In the Bottoms,” was a success, In five years Mr. Dett established his reputation as a sucess- ful teacher and had numerous offers as music director. After an interview in Chicago with Major Robert R. Mo- ton of Hampton he decided to accept the directorship of the music of the Hampton achool. Mme. KE. Azalla Hactley had given a number of “dem- onstrations” at the institute and was enthusiastic over the possibilities of the large atudent body. At Hampton Mr, Dett’s work has re- ceived enthusiastic, almost nation wide recognition. His first important step was the or- ganization of the Hampton Choral Union, a music club composed of all the singers of the various choirs throughout the conimunity, This or- ganization took upon itself the study of classic works and the raising of music standarcs. To this end they proceeded to present some of the best musical artists of (he country. Last May the first inusic festival was held tn the. gymnasium of the Hamp- ton institute during the commence. ment week of the school. The climax of the series of four concerts was the presentation of the “Rose Maiden” cantata by a chorus of 900 voices. four soloists and orchestra. This is prob- ably the! firat time in the history of the south that a Negro chorus bix aung to the accompaniment of a white orchestra, under the direction of a Negro conductor. The performance was unanimously voted a stupendous success. Phone Main 8051 PROF. W. M.

OE 5 Reasons wid eh aan AS ‘The Star asked some very pertinent questions for either Mr. Carlson or his henchmen to answer and up until our last issue, no answer had been made nor had the charges made, been proven untrue. The Star said Mr. Carlson was not a Republican and did not like Negroes. Having been harrassed and goaded on by these stinging but true statements, a big dinner was called to discuss The Star. The Colorado Statesman, with its foreign born, thrifty, in- dustrious and unnaturalized editor, assisted by a few state house messengers met and agreed to print the following circular letter which called a meeting for Monday night. We print it, as follows: “The ‘Denver Star’ is urging the Negro Voter to vote for Judge Gunter, candidate for governor of Colorado on the Democratic ticket. Judge Gunter has declared himself, favoring the policies of President Wilson, which policies he will adopt if elected. Quoting the ‘Star’ of November 4th it says: ‘Inspired by the example of President Wilson, in segregating the Negroes in the Government department, Negro haters throughout the country were en- couraged to undertake the segregation of the Negroes by restricting their property rights in large cities.’ “Judge Gunter, in his speech at Idaho Springs, last Thursday night said: «“cwhat has been done for the citizens of the nation thru che national ad- ministration can also be done for the people of a state thru their state govern- ment. It is for this reason that I say we may take Wocdrow Wilson and his administration as a model for the administration of our state government.’ “Can any self-respecting and race-loving Negro vote for Judge Gunter for governor, after favoring such un-American principles and class legislation of President Wilson. Don’t be misled by the Star, which styles itself as the only Negro Republican paper in the state, and which is asking the Negroes to vote for thirteen Democrats including Judge Gunter for governor, all of whom are supporters of President Wilson. Vote the Republican ticket straight and re- buke the efforts of the ‘Star.’ “Voter which will you prefer? The Republican leadership and live on LAND, or Democratic leadership and drown in the MISSISSIPPI. The Star shines for Democratic misrule, segregation, and oppression. Follow Republi- cans to victory.” ‘To follow Carlson would have found you in the scrap heap with him. Yes, we supported democrats and republicans and have no apologies to make to J. J. Vick Roy, who happened in at a “Negro political meeting” with a set speech. “Happened in,” did you get it? These Vickroyites advised you to vote the republican ticket when to do that they knew it meant for you to vote for Harris, who tried in vain twice to deprive Negro porters, bellmen, maids and cooks of their tips, making it a crime either to give or take a tip. The Star advised his defeat, the Vickroyites advised his election. In answer to their statements, we asked them who swallowed Nesbit and J. J. Vick Roy whole after he insulted and slurred us? They did. Who then villified the Star for standing for the race against this so-called republican? They did. Who tried to explain, excuse or justify Nesbit and later Gov. Carl- son, who supported Nesbit? They did. Who got out pamphlets on Wilson's treatment of Negroes when we were fighting for Mayor Speer, attempting to excuse or cover up a wrong done us by Nesbit? They did. They threatened the Star and did various things, but Monday, one Colored lady said publicly that she did not want “the filthy sheet, Denver Star, to ever cross her sacred and undefiled doorsill,” but the presence of the owner forbade her from tak- ing an action which she advised every decent Negro to take and that was to refuse to take the Star. We lost one subscriber who paid up and quit. We shall try and see that the Star is not sent to her home hereafter. We want you to know that while we fight for the race, others fight us and fight your interest, that We are not seeking any glory but are insisting that Negroes be men or quit trying to lead. Think of those brilliant orators Monday night, your leaders!! No wonder we get nothing but messengerships. The white man, whether he expresses it or not, likes to see any man or Woman be manly or womanly in protecting and winning respect for his or her race. We fought for the race first and for white men afterwards. TAKING THE STING OUT. Altho the Star was bulldozed, lied on and about, and held up to public scorn with the advice to stop the pa per, by people who either owe the Star now or never took the paper, yei we continue to fight for the race. In this fight we expected to get some scratches and we expected to get some from J. J. Vick Roy, who tried to put Nisbet over and who claims to “corral” Negroes’ votes thru a colored woman. We know of a big dinner and the plans to denounce the Star and all about that Fern hall meeting. We know all that took place at the dinner on Curtis St. We desire to show our pity for Vick Roy's misguid- ed Negroes, and we will not censure them severely, for we forgive them, as “they did not understand” that they were being used as this man’s political tools. We started to reply with a “hot shot” but what's the use? Let the public pity them as the Star forgives them. STAR PICKS WINNING TICKET. The Denver Star’s ticket proved a sure winner in the case of our county and state officers, except in the cases of the district, county and juvenile judges. Wm. E. Foley owes his elec- tion to Negroes. Mr. Foley, kindly put your finger on your majority and compare the Negro vote. With it he won; without, he would have lost. The Star picked 17 winning officials out of 32, including Wilson’s chances. The state Democratic legislature owes its majority to Negroes, including all Re- publicans elected except Harris, the anti-tipping bill introducer. And had not some of the Nisbet-Carlson-Vick Roy crowd advised to swallow Harris, many unsuspecting Negroes would not have voted for him. His wings are clipped, we hope, however.

Their mild laxative quall- ties remove the poisons from the sys- tem and brighten the eye.

Mayor Rockwood of Cambridge, Mass, Bars “Birth of a Nation.” The interest which our people are taking in matters of public moment in regard to thelr rights as citizens is becoming more and more intensified. ‘They are using to good advantage the right of protest against wrong and petition for relief granted by the fed- eral constitution. Results are belng obtained ‘along many lines where {n- justice, like a wolf, walks in sheep's clothing to strike down the innocent without warning. Once: more by the united efforts of our people the photo play known as “Phe Birth of a Nation” has been re- fused permission to perform. A news dispatch from J. Thomas Harrison. editor of the Cambridge (Mass.) Ad- yocate and national committeeman for Massachusetts, representing the National Negro Press association, to N. B. Dodson Oct. 26 stated that the colored people of Cambridge, minis- ters and business men, led by 'T. 8.

NOTABLE GAREER OF EDGAR A. LONG Tuskeges Graduate Ranks High as an Educator. DISCIPLE OF WASHINGTON Steps In the Life of Native Alabama Boy Who Rose From Messenger In Office of Tuskegee’s Founder to Prin- cipalship of Large Normal and Indus- trial School In Virginia, Christiansburg, Va.—Professor Edgar Allen Long, principal of the Christians. burg Normal and Industrial institute in this town, is a native of Tuskezee. Ala. His father and mother were both unlettered, though they had a passion for the education of their children. Young Long first went to school in the old church building on Zlon’s bill, on which Dr. Booker T, Washington founded the famous Tuskegeo instl- tute. With the advent of Dr, Wash- ington into Tuskegee the whole course of Mr, Long’s life changed. In those early Tuskegee days boys were taken from the model school to work in the office of Mr. Washington, and it was ag a messenger in this office, coming into dally contact with the great lead- er, that fired young Long’s ambition to try for the “heights by great men reached and kept.” In 1887, two years after the first class had graduated from Tuskezee. Mr. Long was carried with bis fam- tly to Birmingham, the “Magic City” which sprang up in northern Alabama following the opening up of the coal and ore mines. But the seed had been a pe i 3 66. aes bi f sown, and Long could not remain out of school. At the death of bis father in 1889, leaving his mother and two sisters, the support of which fell upon his shoulders, Jt was a question wheth- er he should stay home and support them or return to Tuskegee and com- plete his education. He wisely chose the latter eourse, and in December, 1801, he entered Tuskegee, bis old home and school. Since he had no funds and no one to help him he set about to learn the printer's trade ut ‘Tuskegee, which he did in 1893, He bad charge of the Tuskegee printing office during. the summer months and was for several years business manager of the Stu- Went, the paper published by the xchool, Graduating from ‘Tuskegec with second honors tn 1895, le was immediately called to Pirmingham., Alu., to take charge of the Alabama Publishing company that bad heen or- xanized by the late Dr. W. It Petti ford. Mr. Long was also (he assistant bookkeeper at the Alabama Penuy Savings bank and private secretary te Dr. Pettiford. It was while serving in this capacity that the call came to go to Christiansburg. Accepting this position, he entered upon his duties in the fall of 1897, He was gratified to take up bis new work because there were several ‘Tuskege: graduates there. ‘The principal of Christiansburg, the late Charles L Marshall, was a roommate, classmate and Ifelong friend, and Anna Lec Patterson, who afterward became his wife, were classmates, and there were three other Tuskegee graduates at thi: sehool. Because of his experience ag book keeper at the bank in Birminghan Mr. Long was made treasurer of th school, which position he held uni upon the death of Mr, Marshall tt 1906 he was elevated to the principal ship. Mr. Long says he regards al work that he had done previously as preparation for his life work at Chris tlansburg. Much of what the schoo! 4 today 1s the result of his own efforts ‘When he was made principal th school’s property was valued at $40, 000, including land and buildings anc equipment and an endowment of $5. 800. Today the bufldings and eanip ment alone are worth $75,000. and th endowment 1s $68,000.

Patterson. Industrious and Capable Divine Who Has Made Good In the Ministry In Virginia and Pennsylvania Is Inducted Into New Pulpit of Thrifty Church Amid Brilliant Ceremonies. By N. BARNETT DODSON. Brooklyn.—Surrounded by members and officials of the church, clergymen and visitors from the different churches of Greater New York, the Rev. Charles David Patterson of Pittsburgh was installed pastor of the Holy Trinity Baptist church in this city Tuesday evening, Oct. 17. In order that the entire membership of the church and friends of the congregation might have full opportunity to meet CHARLES DAVID PATTERSON, D. D. the new minister before his installation, the church held a series of meetings from Sunday Oct. 1, to the night of installation, which was followed by a grand reception and banquet. Dr. Patterson was installed by the Rev. T. M. Larsen, pastor of Grace Baptist church, Mount Vernon, N. Y. The Bible was presented by the Rev. Kimball Warner, pastor of Bethany Baptist church. The address of welcome in behalf of the church was delivered by F. G. Warren, chairman of the trustee board, and Allen Dillard, chairman, represented the deacon board. The program was in charge of Rev. M. F. Logan and Joseph Lightfoot, church clerk. Members of the deacon board are Allen Dillard, Frederick Fitch, William Cheatham, Webster Smith, Shederick Morson, Stephen Gray and James White. The trustees are F. G. Warner, Joseph Lightfoot, Frederick Tarlton. F. Rivers, Herman Gardner, James Conway, Joseph Chisolim, Albert Small wood and Bloden Robinson. Among the clergymen invited to deliver sermons or addresses at different times during the series of meetings were the Rev. Dr. W. W. Boone, Pittsburgh; Rev. Charles Brown, Rev. Dr. W. M. Moss, Rev. A. C. Matthews, B. D.; Rev. Dr. Kimbail Warner, Rev. Dr. A. C. Powell, Rev. H. A. Booker, D. D.; Rev. W. L. Lucas, D. D.; Rev. Dr. George H. Sims, Rev. J. W. Bright, Rev. E. R. Artist, Revs. M. Marsh, J. W. Dudley, H. L. Jones, P. H. Lee, W. A. Harris, S. W. Smith, E. W. Lipscomb, W. H. Slater, H. D. Strotter, M. B. Hucles, R. J. Brown, J. E. Robinson, J. B. Boddie, M. F. Logan and Timothy White. The installation sermon was delivered by the Rev. Dr. W. Brown, formerly of Pittsburgh and now pastor of the Metropolitan Baptist church, New York city. The Rev. Dr. Patterson accepted the call of the Holy Trinity church last May after much persuasion by the officials and members of the church and after making several visits to this city in relation thereto. He has served the church the past few months very acceptably. The members have shown timely interest in the work, and all departments of the church have taken on new life. Within the short space of four months under Dr. Patterson's leadership, 100 new members have been added to the church roll. Charles David Patterson's Career. Charles David Patterson, son of David and Clarissa Patterson, was born at Blue Ridge Springs, Va., in 1871. His early boyhood was spent on his father's farm and attending the public schools, where he received the rudiments of his education. After finishing the public school course he entered the Virginia Normal and Collegiate institute at Petersburg, Va., where he pursued the academic course. Rev. Mr. Patterson received his theological training at the Virginia seminary and college at Lynchburg, graduating with the degree of bachelor of divinity. He also took a special course at the Park institute and Western Theological seminary at Pittsburgh, being the only one of his race in the class in Hebrew, which numbered forty. Dr. Patterson began his ministerial career as the pastor of the Promiseland Baptist church, twelve miles in the country from Bedford City, Va. He held this charge for two and a half years at a salary of $50 per year. While pastor of the Promiseland church he received and accepted the call of the Reed's Creek Baptist church in Bedford county at a salary of $50 per year. Having demonstrated ability as an organizer and more good preacher and safe leader, he was called to the church at Hollings, where he received a salary of $250 per year. While pastoring at Hollings for five years he taught a country school, while paid a salary of $25 per month. Receives Call to Church at Pittsburgh From Virginia Dr. Patterson received in 1900 the call of the Tabernacle Baptist church at Pittsburgh, beginning with a salary of $50 per month. During his stay at the Tabernacle church the Ebenezer Baptist church at Williamsport, Pa., secured his services at a salary of $85 per month. He had been at Ebenezer for three years when a crisis came in the work of the Baptists of Pennsylvania which threatened the existence of many of the churches. The honor of the denomination was at stake. The Rev. Mr. Patterson, who was secretary of the state convention, was considered the best informed person to act as field secretary for the state convention. He served in this position for one year, when he was again called to the Tabernacle church in Pittsburgh, which under his second administration became known as the Cosmopolitan Tabernacle Baptist church. During the seven years of his second pastorate of the above named church Dr. Patterson did a magnificent work. The former church property was sold to good advantage and another bought, which is now valued at $70,000. He has been highly successful at all the churches which he has pastored, and it is worthy of note that at each church improvements in the property were made, besides building a church edifice at Springwood, Va. Dr. Patterson has a wife and four children to grace his home. Mrs. Patterson is a woman of splendid talent. She loves music and is often heard as a soloist. Miss G. B. Patterson, their daughter, is also fond of music and plays the piano and organ. She is a graduate of the high school at Pittsburgh. FIRE PREVENTION DAY AT THE HAMPTON INSTITUTE Nerfolk (Va.) Fire Marshal Co-operates With Local School Authorities. R. F. McLaughlin, chief marshal of the Norfolk (Va.) fire department, and several of his men were present at Hampton institute recently at the first observance of fire prevention day. They gave demonstrations in the use of scaling ladders and in the saving of human life in burning buildings. Chief McLaughlin co-operated most heartily with Major Allen Washington. Hampton's commandant of cadets, in making the fire prevention day program both interesting and instructive. Hampton students showed how fires could be successfully fought with water, with sand, with hand chemical extinguishers, with a large size chemical engine and with a full size steam engine. A bucket brigade, for example, showed how a small group of clear headed, active men could pass water quickly and successfully to a burning building. The Hampton tradesmen who are taking the plumbing and steam fitting course handled skillfully the steam engine. The preliminary fire drill demonstrated how successfully Hampton is preparing to meet day by day its fire risk. Several hundred girls left the dormitory in a remarkably short time in order and with strict attention to discipline. The boys on the sound of the fire signal fell into their various places and were ready at once to meet an emergency. In the evening a helpful talk was given by Major Washington on the necessity of carefulness in guarding against fires. A Hampton graduate explained the mechanism of a chemical extinguisher, and a reel of motion pictures drove home the truth that safety lies chiefly in prevention, but that it is also possible to prevent many fires from getting under great headway. WELL MANAGED SCHOOL The Charlotte (N. C.) Sunday Observer Commends Training School Work. Professor James E. Shephard, president of the National Training school of Durham, has called a conference of Negro educators on Nov. 21 and 24 to be participated in by heads of universities, colleges and secondary schools for the training of colored youths in the United States. These will be the guests of the institution at Durham. A number of set subjects will be discussed to the end that the actual conditions and needs of schools devoted to the education of colored youths may be accomplished. The management of the Durham institution is one of the most progressive in the south, and lasting good ought to come out of the proposed conference. Mount Moriah Palatium Hear Sermon Members of the Mount Moriah Palatium, No. 12. Royal House of Media, turned out in a body on Sunday, Oct. 15, at the John Wesley A. M. E. Zion church, Pittsburgh, the occasion being the annual religious public service of the order. Royal Prelate George L. Fisher presided. Kittrell College Sustains Fire Loss. Kittrell college, at Kittrell, N. C., sustained a great loss in the destruction by fire of the Dickerson building on the campus of the institution Thursday, Oct. 12. President O'Kelly has arranged matters so that the classroom work will not be interrupted to any great extent on account of the loss of Dickerson hall, which will soon be rebuilt.

Is “In the Saddle” The Birth and Significance of the Grandfather Clauses. * Give White South Greater Power In Greater Na- tion Than Before Civil War—An Issue Which Should Be Met— Reason Hughes Is Better Than Wilson. lls By W. E. BURGHARDT DUBOIS. > po HUCTION. The histors of Reconstruction has yet to be writ ten. What we have today are theories of reconstruction colored according tc the birth und race of the believer. We can easily realize that the status ot four million emancipated slaves wat not one easily to be settled. We will also assume that the radical Abolition- ints expected these freedmen to become citizens and voters and that the radical Pro-slavery folk expected them to re- main slaves in ull but name. Colored Citizenship Gave South First Public Schools. 2 THE FREEDMEN — Manifestly there were difficulties in changing the status of the freedmen: they were ig- norant; they were inexperienced save along certain narrow industrial lines; it was widely believed that they bad Uttle capacity as compared with other human stocks, and they had long form- ¢d in the thought of the nation and in thelr own thought a distinct and sep. arate caste. ‘That there were answers and remedies t_ these disubilities many Persons asserted. The remedy for 1G NORANCE was SCHOOLS. THE NE- CROES THEMSELVES AND THEIR FRIENDS ESTABLISHED «THE FIRST REAL PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM THAT THE SOUTH EVER HAD. Beyond any similar group in modern days the Colored people were eager for education and children and adults flocked to the schools. The schools, however, never were and are not today adequate for even the prl- mary teaching of Colored people—the teaching of reading, writing and cipher- ing. ‘Thus it happens that the abolish. ment of ignorance while it has bezun 4s still incomplete. EXPERIENCE in ® matter of time and for now fifty years the Colored people have been sharing in wider and wider areas of the organized life of the civilized na- tion. They are still so hemmed in by law and convention that it Ix impossi- bie for them to get the widest social education, but they have gotten some. Have Demonstrated Equal Capacity Where Given Chance. ‘Their native capacity ax compared with other groups ix still a question In the minds of many people, but it ix 2 different question than it used to be. There ix no doubt about thelr abil ity to work ux free laborers, to save and accumulate property, to receive education even in higher lines, and indeed in most thingy where they have had a chance and been tried it Ix im- possible to deny them the same gen- eral capacity that other human stocks have. It Is only where they have not had an adequate chance that thelr in- ferlority i» «till believed. They are still a caste, a caste partially by rea- son of thelr own illiteracy and inex- perience ax compared with the bulk of the nation, but more expecially a cante because pf deep-seated opinions and prejudices on the part of their fellow citizens. Five “Legal” Methods of Disfran- chisement. 8. DISFRANCHISEMENT. When | now, the South, finding these people could not be kept virtually as slaves and being themselves unwilling to gov- ern by force and fraud looked about for methods of “keeping the Negro in hix place” and at the same time not transgresaing the law, they hit upon five expedients: In the FIRST place they made CRIME and even petty crime (like “petty larceny” in Virginia) a reason for disfranchixement know ing that the poor and ignorant are es pecially prone to conviction for such crimes. ‘This was a discrimination against poverty and ignorance ani not PER SE agalinat race; tt could only be questioned ax we question the ne sponsibility of the State for poverty and ignorance—and we do question ic and we are going to question it a good den} more x We get more commoh Trense. 4 Property Qualifications. SECONDLY, the States adopted PROPERTY QUALIFICATIONS. Thin was a distinct reversion to the days when property was considered a pe- ¢ullar indication of virtue and ability. Today most civilized countries have done away with this qualification, Nevertheless we can easily imagine a situation where the mass of people are o poor and ignorant and the chance to accumulate property #0 easy for the ambitious that a property qualification {# not an unfair qualid cation for a voter. While there may be considerable argument against it in the South, the mass of the Colored people themaelves do not make a sin- gle objection against. the property ification. aithe payment of POLL TAXES wax ‘a THIRD method of enfranchixement nd ix chiefly a petty technical matter Keeping of receipta for juiring the keeping tong periods of years and on the whole ce ahaahy of a State. The best and most defensible of the qualifications was the EDUCATION. AL QUALIFICATION. If coupled with a decent school system it was far to require that every person who wish- ed to vote should be able to read and write. ‘The FOURTH method is to allow ‘certain persons to vote because they “had voted previously or rendered cer- | tain services to the State such as serv- ‘ing in the Army. This was unfair to ‘the Negroes because they had not had the right of suffrage originally and had not a chance to serve in the Army. “but nevertheless it applied on the ‘whole to a small class. This emplifi cation might even go so far as, for in- stance, in Alabama, where for a limited time any persons “of good character” and “understanding the duties of a citizen” could be registered for life—a manifest sop to local prejudice and unfairness. | Grandfather Clause the Worst. 4. GRANDFATHER LEGISLA ‘TION. All of these distinctions, how | ever, could have a certain defense. Even though they discriminate against ‘the lowly, the poor, the ignorant and the careless, and although local ad- ‘ministration could and does easily fa- ‘vor the white at the expense of the ‘black, nevertheless on the face of the law the discrimination is not purely racial. Even these distinctions did not satisty those who finally reconstructed the South and they placed upon the State statute books between the years 1898 and 1900 a qualification for the elective franchise which is without doubt the most outrageous attack upon Republican government that this na tion has ever seen; and it is a pointed commentary upon the peculiar dangers of not settling the Negro problem right ‘to realize that this legislation was al lowed to stand upon the statute books for nearly twenty years and in fact still stands and is being enforced be- cause of the peculiarity of the way in which it works. The statutes to which I refer are known as the “Grandfa- ther Clauses.” ‘The first GRANDFATHER CLAUSE appeared in the Constitution of LOU. ISIANA, adopted in 1898. This Con. stitution was never submitted to the people and enacted not only an educa. tional qualification and a property qualification, but in addition contained this section: The Louisiana Grandfather Clause. SECTION 5. No male person who was on January 1, 1867, or at any date prior thereto, entitled to vote under the Constitution or Statute of any State of the United States, wherein he then resided, and no son or grandson of any such person not less than 21 years of age at the date of the adoption of this Constitution, and no male person of foreign birth, who was naturalized prior to the first day of January, 1898, shall be denied the right to register and vote in this State by reason of his failure to possess the educational or property qualifications prescribed by this constitution: Provided, he shail have resided in thie State for five years next preceding the date at which he shall apply for registration, and shall have registered in accordance with the terme of thie article prior to September 1, 1898; and no person shall be en- titled to register under this section after said date. This was promptly followed by NORTH CAROLINA, whose Constitu. tion, adopted in 1899, said: Carolina Grandfather Clause. SECTION 4. But no male person who was, on January 1, 1867, or at any time prior thereto, entitled to vote un- der the laws of any State in the United States wherein he then resided, and no lineal descendant of any such person. shall be denied the right to register and vote at any election in this State by reason of his failure to possess the educational qualification herein pre- scribed, provided he shall have regis- tered in accordance with the terme of this section prior to December, 1908, ‘The General Assembly shall provide for the registration of all persons en- titled to vote without the educational qualifications herein prescribed, and shall, on or before November 1, 1908, provide for the making of a permanent recerd of such registration, and all per- sone eo registered shall forever there- after have the right to vote in all elec- tions by the people in this State, unless disqualified under Section 2 of this Ar- ticle: Provided, such person shall have paid hie poll tax as above required. Alabama and Virginia Grandfather Clauses. In 1901 ALABAMA adopted a Con- etitution which said: ‘Thowe who have served in the army or navy of the United States or of the Confederate army in time of war. THEIR LAWFUL DESCENDANTS IN EVERY DEGREE, etc., can vote if registered prior to December 20. 1902, ‘The Constitution of VIRGINIA tn 1902 contained « curious variation of the Grandfather Clause: At such registrations every mate citi zen of the United States having the gee eer atta geet a gerne or ener ree an rae time of war in the Army or Navy of the United States, of the Confederate States, or of any State of the United States or of the Confederate States; or SECOND. A eon of any such person. Oklahoma and Georgia Grandfather Clauses. In 1907 OKLAHOMA adopted thir qualification: No person shall be registered as an elector of this State or be allowed to vote In any election herein unless he shall be able to read and write any eaction of the Constitution of Oklaho- ma; but no person who was on Janu- ary 1, 1866, or at any time prior there- to, entitled to vote under any form of government, or who at any time re- sided In some foreign nation and no lineal descendant of any such person shall be denied the right to register and vote because of his Inability to so read and write sections of such Con- stitution. In 1909 GEORGIA by an amendment to her Constitution required that: ‘An elector must have served in land or naval forces of the United States or the Confederate States of the State of Georgia in time of war or BE LAW- FULLY DESCENDED FROM S8OME- ONE WHO DID 80 SERVE. Such must register before January 1, 1915. Meant Hereditary Privilege—Unre- pealable. 5. SIGNIFICANCE OF THIS LEG- ISLATION. Thus the six clauses ee upon the statute tooks of the jeading Southern States, Severa! things must be noted about this legis- lation: FIRST—It establishes for the first time in any modern government pretending to be ruled by the people the principle of HEREDITARY PRIV- ILEGE. There cannot be the slightest doubt that had any one but the Negro been the immediate victim of this step that the nation would have been con- vulsed from end to end. This shows that if of any species of deception or falsehood a grave injury to the cause of democracy can be hidden behind the excuse of racial hatred; it can be car tied through practically without pro- test. In the SECOND place—from the pe- cullar nature of the legislation—tt Is practically impossible to repeal it. The Supreme Court decided in June. 1915. that the Oklahoma Grandfather Clause was unconstitutional, but at that time there were thousands of white men ex- ercising the right to vote for life in a registration already closed in LOUISI- ANA, NORTH CAROLINA, ALA- BAMA, VIRGINIA, OKLAHOMA and GEORGIA. How are these men to be stricken from the rolls? They cannot be. Moreover, Louisiana, after her reg istration of white illiterates under the Grandfather Clause had closed, actual ly had the impudence to amend her Constitution and allow a further pertod for registration under the Clause. Understanding Clause and White Pri- mary Disfranchise Colored. 6. EFFECT OF “GRANDFATHER CLAUSES.” The result of this legis lation does not show itself upon the Negro race. By legal and extra-lezal methods outside the working of the Grandfather Clause the Negro has been and is disfranchised in the States South of Mason and Dixon line. In Louisiana, for instance, where there are over 60,000 male Negroes of vot ing age WHO CAN READ AND WRITE, less than 2,000 of them are registered voters, and that proportion probably holds true in most of these Southern States. This has been ac: complished by legal methods which permit the local registrar to register almost any white man under the “un derstanding” clause and to refuse regis tration to almost any Negro, no mat- ter how welt educated he may be Also, beyond these there is the extra legal method of the WHITE PRI MARY-—that is, an arrangement of primary laws by which a single party dominates the State. Its primary elec- tion becomes the real election, and into the hands of the party managers the States put the power to determine who shall vote in the primary. This is, of fourse, outrageously illegal and some time will be declared so by the courts. but at present it is a method of dis franchising even the registered Negro voters. ‘The effect, then, of the Grandfather Clause is, as I sald, not upon the Ne- gro voter. He has been disfranchised by other methods. The full effect of the Grandfather Clause falls upon the Southern white man, and it falls with crushing force. Effect of Grandfather Clauses Is on White South. Consider our present political cam: paign: we hear of Mr. Hughes speak ing in Callfornia, Wisconsin, Maine aS gene eo ee ORE i aa Consider our present political can: paign: we hear of Mr. Hughes speak ing in Callfornia, Wisconsin, Maine and even in Tennessee; we hear of Mr. Wilson speaking in New Jersey, Ili nois and Kansas and he might go to Kentucky, but we do not even concelve of these or any other candidates speak. ing in” Louisiana, Mississippi or in Georgia. ‘There is no presidential cam- paign in those States; there can be no presidential campaign. ‘They are xs much outside Republican government In this nation as though they were se) arated by a Chinese wall; they are a province outside the United States: they afe not a part of our political machinery and yet in spite of the fact that they are thus silently but definite- ly and irretrievably outlawed they have a voice in the administration of our government far more potent than that of any other section of the Union Comparisons showing this have often been made, but it will not perhaps be out of place to remind you of a few covare aaa) based upon the election of 14: pared. ‘Take, for instance. the presidential @lection of 1912, and let us compare South Cxrolina and Massachusetts, two hereditary friends. To choose her eighteen electors Massachusetts cast 488,156 votes; Sonth Carolina cast only 50,348 votes, but for these she sent nine electors to the electoral college. ‘Thig means that the South Carolinian cast five votes to the New Englander's one. ‘To this we may add the following facts: Georgia and New Jersey each had 5 electors. Georgia cast 121,532 votes for hers; New Jersey cast 432,534 votes for hers. Louisiana, casting 79.372 votes, had 10 electors; Rhode Island, casting 77.- @24 votes, had 5 electors; Oregon, cast- Ing 137,040 votes, had 5 electors. Kansas and Mississippi each had 10 electors. Kansas cast 365.444 votes for hers; Mississippi cast 64,319 votes for hers. Alabama and Minnesota each had 12 electors. Alabama cast 117,888 votes for hers; Minnesota cast 334,219 votes for hers. New York cast 1,587,983 votes for her 45 electors. Georgia (14), South Carolina (9), Alabama (12), and Missis. sippl (10), cast 354,087 votes for thelr 45 electors, Each white voter in the South casts from i to 13 votes to each Northerr man’s one vote. Congress has just convened with the South still in the saddle, stiti leader: on the floor and heading all importan committees. Why? Because in th congressional election of 1914 equa representation under the laws was « farce in the South.

This is a situn tion that calls for action. I sm no! one of those who is unwilling to grant many things of accomplishment to the present Democratic government. I be Heve in thelr banking legislation, in their tariff legislation and in their child labor law, but against all these I place the one fact that a man like President Wilson, cognizant as he must be as 2 Southerner, of the unfortunate, contra dictory, absolutely impossible political situation in the Southern United States has Nevertheless remained silent and indeed broken his own promises rather | than to interfere. | The present political arrangement iv the South cannot endure. A change must come. ‘The South today by count ing the Negro population as a basis of representation and disfranchising it at the polls exercises greater political pow. er ina greater nation than it did be fore the war. ‘The question, therefore. before us is shall this be changed by quiet, reasonable thought along the Ines of democratic development as shown by world history of ..» last hundred years, or are we going to con- tinue to treat the so-called Nexro prob- lem in silence, allow a president like Mr. Wilaon to dodge it, keep it out of the campaixn, keep it out of the news Papers and magazines and simply ride on beedlessly until we have smashed Republican government on thix xreat rock? ‘Argue strongly as you will that there were insuperable ditiiculties i making the Negro a voter in 1805. there can be no such question teday. ‘There is ub- solutely no doubt that tens of thou- sands of Colored people can mect any Teasonable qualification for voting, such 8 could or ought to be applied to the whfte population of the United States.
