TWENTY-SEVENTH YEAR Number 162 CHARLES L. WHITE PASSES AWAY Oldest and Best Mail Clerk in the City Service. The citizens of Denver have endured no greater shock in recent years than that occasioned by the announcement a week ago last Sunday that Chas. Lloyd White had passed away. His illness extended over a very few days and was so little known that his legion of friends were loathe to believe the first report of his death. Expressions of sympathy and regret were general. The entire community was affected as though a great Pall had been spread over it. "Charlie" White was the very embodiment of all the elements that go to make up a good, useful and highly respected citizen. To say this is some- CHAS. LLOYD WHITE thing more than a mere figurative of speech. To know him was to love him and those were counted his best friends who had known him the long est. Born in Chicago 46 years ago his youthful struggles were full of the customary hardships, always brightened however by a supreme determination to at all times 'do his best'. The one predominating characteristic of his life was a sublime faith in one's ability to succeed if only he properly concentrated his efforts. His was a life of example rather than precept. Indeed ample evidence of this was given only a short time ago when he was promoted in the postal service to a position as special clerk. This distinction was conferred simply because Chas. White had given to the government of the United States the very best that was in him for a period extending seventeen years. He bore his honors as well as his success lightly. Always modest, quiet and retiring, never obtrusive, he was in all essentials what the world loves to form 'a good man.' Thirteen years ago, he was married to Miss Hattie Moss of Topeka, Kansas, and to this happy union may be attributed much of his success Mrs. White has been a thorough help meet and his counsellor. Together they journ- The Denver Star ESTABLISHED 1888 eyed until early the past spring they purchased a beautiful home at 2526 Humboldt street. But it was not Mr. White's good fortune to long enjoy the fruits of his years of labor. By his death Denver, loses a man who stood for high ideals. He was a devoted husband, a faithful friend and a loyal Odd Fellow. He was taken away in the very fullness of his usefulness and will be sadly missed. To his sorrowing widow it may be much of a consolation to know many a person is better for having known of the life, the habits and sterling qualities of Chas. Lloyd White. Coming to Colorado something over 20 years ago he first settled in Pueblo and soon after accepted a position with the Sante Fe R. R. Most men would have been content to stop there but not so with Mr. White. He regarded every position as simply a means for climbing higher and so during his leisure hours he studied hard afterwards taking the civil service examination and being appointed to a position in the Denver Post office. His advances in the government service were steady and marked until at the time of his death he was one of the highest salaried men in the services. The funeral services at the family residence last Thursday afternoon were beautiful in its simplicity, Father H. B. Brown and Rev. A. M. Ward, officiated. The Post office attachees, members of both races, and high officials were in attendance. The floral offerings were truly a monument within themselves, attesting the universal high esteem in which Chas. White was held. Besides a breaved wife he leaves a mother, three sisters and a step father. Many personal friends from Pueblo attended the funeral. Truly a splendid citizen has passed to the great beyond, but the world is better for his having lived. $25,000 in Dividends to Penny Bank Depositors Birmingham, Ala., Nov. 3.—Approximately $25,000 in dividends will be paid depositors of the Alabama-Penny Prudential Savings Bank, the defunct financial institution, by the state banking department, according to announcements of Alex.

Greatest Interest and Enthusiasm Reigns. Every Uplifting Movement Needs Encouragement and Support. Let Denver Turn Out. Rey. Over Planned Great Success. M. H. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, NOV. 18, 1916 ministers of our city take part on the program converting it into a truly Denver Community affair. Every Church, every Sunday School, every organization affiliated with uplift work should attend this great gathering, not because you like or don't like this one or that one, but because such great movement must have your support and we must get together and encourage every uplifting work. The Star is urging that this Jubilee be made one of the greatest successes in Denver and that we lay aside all obstacles of destruction by putting our shoulders to the wheel and pushing up the hill to a glorious success. This appeal is to you and made by the Star unsolicited because we know that in unity there is full strength, and in division there is weakness and that only success means real gain to all in this community. Whenever our country celebrates its natal day, we all rejoice and are glad; whenever one of our great Presidents or war heroes celebrates his birthday, we, too, as loyal and patriotic citizens do so in the proper spirit and reverent joy, but all of next week Zion Baptist Church, one of our most prominent churches in the city, will celebrate its Golden Jubilee by having a week of festivities; a week showing the Negroes' progress in mechanics, art, dress, iudustry, literature and musical culture. You know it is a long, long ways back from the establishment of little Zion Baptist by its early pioneers who struggled to uphold the bloody banner of the Lowly Nazarene in 1856 up thru the various and many THE CHURCH OF THE NATIONAL SCHOOL OF MEDICINE Tell the people that beginning with November 19th that Zion's great Jubilee starts and continues during the week, at which time there will be exhibited all kinds of needle work, handicraft, club women's articles of every nature and kind without cost; besides the piano contests, better baby display and awards, the great choral recital under the trained leadership of Prof. Whiteman of Trinity M. E. Church for which program there will be charged an admission fee of 25 cents. This baby contest, will be conducted under the direction of the best physicians in the city, with Dr. J. H. P. Westbrook, as chairman of the committee The babies will be examined by experts and all parents are urged to have all their babies there, as dress and beauty will be eliminated from the contest strictly. Intelligence, physique etc. will be the great factors in the determination of the prizes. Let every baby in Denver be enrolled. We must have such things in order to help to make our race stronger and better, by seeing and displaying better babies. vicissitudes of life until the occupying and enjoying of the beautiful New Zion of today. Hear the story of the rise, struggles, hopes, fears, trials and tribulations from the lips of the pioneers and then look around with one sweep of an eye's glance and see the marvelous progress. Compare then the outside surrounding of the little church and at various times since then, and let your heart say it is glad for us to be here. Review the artwork of our lovely and industrious women, so eagerly encouraged by all of Denver's leading professional men and women; remain quiet while the development of the little missionary band in the church that only administered to those within their church to the excellent and scientific social service workings of the clnb women composed of the best and leading women of our city, who are daily and yearly contributing their brains, nerves, hearts and souls to the Urge everybody to come as this week Zion belongs to Denver's Community and not Zion Baptist Church. We take great pleasure in announcing that our old dear favorite friend, helper and advisor, Rev. Jno. E. Ford will be at Zion during the week and let Denver come out as of old and hear him, shake his hand, smile at him, and make him wear that broad characteristic smile so long worn, while in Denver. Everybody move toward Zion next week. Get a handsome Golden Souvenir Program so artistically worked out by Rev. Over, the (present pastor of Zion.) the like of which has never yet been produced in Denver in programs as well as in exhibition. real uplift of others, then you can see how church and congregational selfishness has been abolished by seeing the FIVE CENTS A COPY. JUDGE BUTLER UNTIES CITY HANDS IN BIRTH OF NATION CASE. Mayor Free to Act now, if it Returns. November 11, 1916. Re case of Elliott and Sherman vs Dewey C. Bailey, Manager of Safety and Excise. George G. Ross, Esq., Attorney at Law, Kittredge Building, Denver, Colorado. The temporary injunction which was granted in the above entitled cause, commonly known as the "Birth of a Nation" case, was this day dissolved by Judge Butler, and the suit is to be dismissed upon the plaintiffs paying all costs. Yours truly, J. A. Marsh, City Attorney. Lawyer Townsend received a copy of the same. The injunction was dissolved, a thing which both Mr. Townsend and the Star worked so hard to accomplish altho against great odds. The costs if never paid have nothing to do with the merits of the question. In this case the Negroes closed Tabor Grand, the City was restrained and finally the injunction was dissolved. It pays to fight and stay with the fight. To Build Hospital For Colored People Pittsburg, Pa.—Pittsburg is to have a hospital primarily for the care of colored people. There are five cities in the country that have such hospitals—Philadelphia, which has the Douglass Hospital; Chicago, the Provident Hospital; Washington, D.C., the Freedman's Hospital; Atlanta Ga., and the Lamar Hospital at Augusta, Ga. The Pittsburg hospital is to be named the Livingstone, in memory of the great African explorer. It will be situated in the East End district of Greater Pittsburg. Application for the charter was made by Attorney Robert L. Vann of 518 Fourth Avenue, in the Common Pleas Court. A whirlwind campaign for funds will be started within a few weeks. The officers of the Livingstone Memorial Hospital Association are: Rev. C. H. Trusty, president; James W. Brown, treasurer; and Rev. C. J. Powell, secretary There were 101 subscribers to the petition for a charter, all leading colored residents of this city. Four graduate colored nurses have already been engaged and they will form the nucleus of a training school for colored nurses, which will be conducted in connection with the hospital. A building will be erected, according to the plans, capable of accommo dating 150 patients. Church News CENTRAL BAPTIST CHURCH. Corner 24th and California Sts., Rev. P. J.

Be sure to come to the Thanksgiving service at Central Baptist Church on Thanksgiving day. Campbell, Bethlehem and Scott will meet there in union service. Judging from the small crowd out Tuesday night, Captain Ross of Club did not make the right kind of distress signal, or the people failed to understand his pitiful cries for help.

Mrs. Pearl Rose will be leader at this Sunday's Vesper service. The meeting of Monday evening was very poorly attended owing to the inclement weather. We had a very interesting and instructive talk upon Art, by Miss Daly, a local artist of much reputation. The executive board met on Wednesday at noon. There will be many activities this year in widely different branches. Mrs. I. B. Perkins brought an invitation to the Phyllis Wheatley Club from the Central Association to attend a lecture on Saturday evening, at 7:45 p. m., at the Gym, 1638 California. Mrs. Katherine Eddy will give the lecture and her subject will be "Christianity, what is it?" The Bible class is held every Thursday evening at 7 p. m. Owing to the lecture by Mrs. Eddy Saturday evening, the Gym class will be postponed, but we hope all the members will attend this lecture and hear a very able and interesting speaker. Y. M. C. A. NOTES. The inclement weather could not keep back the crowd that came to hear the sacred concert rendered under the management of Mrs. Gertie N. Ross, last Sunday afternoon; and while the program suffered somewhat on account of the illness and absence of some of the participants, it was nevertheless a splendid affair, and was highly enjoyed by all. The Y. M. C. A. Dunbar Club, Mr. William R. Herndon, president, has just outlined an extensive course of reading. Homer's illiad, the first book in the course, is now being read at the fortnightly meetings of the club. Tickets for the Concert and Pipe Organ Recital to be given at Shorter church, Thursday evening, Dec. 7th, are going at a rapid rate. The principal participants are Mrs. Senora Langston, Messrs.

B. J. CATLETT, Supt. Industrious and Well Qualified Social Service Worker In General Office of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Colored People Given Charge of New Branch Office In New York. 1970 New York.-The Urban league closed the last ten days of its fiscal year, ending in September, with a financial campaign to raise $3,400 in order to complete its year's work without a deficit. John D. Rockefeller and A. T. White pledged $1,600 of this amount if the $1,800 could be raised before the fiscal year expired. The league was successful in raising this sum through the assistance of many wealthy people of the downtown district and several of the leading colored citizens. Among the colored people who contributed substantially to the campaign are: Rev. Hutchins C. Bishop, Bishop Alexander Walters, Dr. Leo Fits Nearon, Mrs. Lella Walker Robinson, Hon. Charles W. Anderson, Edward A. Warren, Mrs. W. F. Trotman, Dr. E. P. Roberts, Fred R. Moore, Claude M. Moton, Major R. R. Moton and members of the Union Baptist church, of which Dr. G. H. Sims is pastor. The league is extending its work locally by the opening of a branch office at 202 West Sixty-third street, this city. Miss Vivienne A. Ward, for many years an assistant in the industrial department of the league, will be placed in charge of the office, which will be conducted in co-operation with the work of the Lincoln House. The league recently completed the intensive investigation of the social causes underlying the high infant mortality on Columbus hill. When the facts discovered are presented in final form by Miss Naomi B. Spencer, investigator, the work of organizing a movement for reducing this death rate will be inaugurated. This will take the shape of house to house visits to mothers of young babies by experienced nurses and women who know the best methods of rearing children and possibly the establishment of a day nursery. The extension of the league's work to other cities will be carried on vigorously during the winter. Eugene Kinckle Jones, executive secretary of the league, will spend most of his time in October in Chicago and Cleveland to promote movements in those cities. Mr. Jones has visited Richmond and Washington in the same connection. Dr. George E. Haynes, executive secretary, with headquarters in Nashville, Tenn., visited cities in Tennessee during September for the same purpose. In conducting the work of the league during the past year more than $30,000 has been expended through the league's treasury. The colored people have contributed more toward this work this year than at any time since the league has been organized. GILLIEAN IN NEW FIELD.

HACKLEY Hackley Shop PROMPT ATTENTION 2712 WELTON STREET BASIC CONTROL OF GOVERNMENT Manning Explains Meaning of Federal Constitution. Wise Provision of the Founders For the Protection of All the People Alike Has Not Been Compiled With—Disfranchisement Is Form of Political Slavery. The government of the United States sprang into being because of the absolute necessity of the banding together of the inhabitants of the American colonies in upholding certain incontestable rights. Among these were the right of government by the consent of the governed and the right to voice in representation where taxation is imposed. The basic control of the government of the United States is the constitution of the United States. This document was instituted "in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, etc., says the Hon. Joseph C. Manning of Alabama. The founders of the government in order to secure a more perfect organization than could have otherwise been secured made certain compromises on the slavery question, but finally the constitution of the United States was so perfected by amendments as to embrace all its citizens within the folds of its guarantee. "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted shall exist within the United States or any place subject to their jurisdiction." The amendments to the constitution furthermore defined United States citizenship and set forth the nationality of the United States citizen by the declaration that "all persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside." To make the right of United States citizenship emphatic and secure the constitution further set forth that "no state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States." With the object in view of protecting the ballot rights of all its citizens the constitution asserted this declaration: "The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any state on account of race, color or previous conditions of servitude." Those who vote in the United States as well as those who are inducted into office take solemn oath to uphold the constitution of the United States. Every citizen in the United States is obligated and sworn to support and maintain the principles of the constitution in its letter and in its spirit. None are expected to deny to others rights which they may justly demand for themselves. The ideal of this government of ours is that it is "a government of the people, by the people and for the people." "The citizens of each state shall be entitled to all the privileges and immunities of citizens in the several states." The constitution of the United States put upon the nation the expressed obligation furthermore that "the United States shall guarantee to every state in this Union a republican form of government." It was the aim of the constitution of the United States that constitutional liberty and constitutional rights should remain inviolate to every citizen in every state. That every state government should and must comply with the fundamental principles enunciated therein is too plainly set forth in the constitution of the United States to require any discussion. It is difficult of comprehension, therefore, that in a government of such lofty conception there has been perpetrated by partisan political maneuvering gross contravention of the ballot rights of the United States citizens in at least ten states of the Union. The extent to which this aggression has gone will be looked upon as something astounding by those who give this subject due consideration. It is almost enigmatical that public sentiment in this nation is not alive to the open and fragrant conflict with the fundamental rights of the people which exists in the southern states. Infringement upon the liberties of the people of the south has grown to such startling proportion through the general unconcern on the part of the people of the entire country that this condition has become not only the problem of the people of these states, who as citizens of these states are so directly involved, but one of vital moment to all the people of the nation. Chattel slavery was abolished as inconsistent with the principles of our free government. The republic could not continue half slave and half free. Disfranchisement in the south, a form of political slavery, equally as obnoxious and entirely out of conformity with the letter and spirit of the constitution of the United States, will as as surely be finally overthrown.

NEGROEB WIN GREAT BATTLE FOR RESPECT. Star Only Race Paper to Stand Up While Attorney Townsend Battled Against Odds. The injunction restraining the city authorities from barring the "Birth of the Nation" has been dissolved, and the costs assessed against the plaintiffs. First, the Star, on behalf of the c lored people of this city, desire to thank Mayor Speer and the city attorney's office for the valuable and timely assistance given us in our last fight against the return of that vicious film, the direct cause of our present segregation agitation. With a very cautious thought and a wise "advisedly," the Star says openly that we have never believed that that decision and obiter dictum given in the case ever expressed Judge Butler's true, deep-down-in his-heart opinion. We have tried too many cases before him in the West Side Court, and he had too many chances to show his prejudice and caprices, and which, to his credit, he never showed, but always the reverse—the greatest care in protecting even the humblest. He was the Negroes' ideal judge until the "Birth of a Nation" came to town. However, we are glad that since the city has added a constitutional amendment to our charter giving exclusive power—and right into the hands of the Commissioner of Safety—that Judge Butler has dissolved the injunction and dismissed the case, placing the Negroes on a plane where they were before the film ever came to our city—the first time. The Negroes of Denver need to thank Lawyer Townsend and the Star in staying on the job until the work has been accomplished. What did we do? We assembled, organized, protested to the City Council that closed Tabor Grand, which was opened by court order. Later play returns while court order remained. Negroes protest to Mayor Speer, who orders six parts cut. Manager Bailey cuts no parts, later rape scene. Mayor directs City Attorney to file supplemental papers modifying orders of court, which result in court dismissing case and dissolving the injunction. It pays to be manly and fight for your rights. We are told that Lawyer E. E. Schlosser, who has had quite a trade among colored people in divorces, and one Lawyer Baxter, who is circulating the segregation petitions, in the Kitt- ridge Building, have both signed the "Jim Crow" petition. Schlosser said he was told "that Negroes wanted it," and he signed it. Call him up and in-quire of him why he did it. Get busy. THE SEGREGATION ORDINANCES. We are given to understand that the circulators of these petitions are not meeting with the pleasantest of cordial welcomes from our citizens, and that the Democratic and Republican committeeemen and women have been importted to sign. Now, Negroes, this fight means to fight against the circulation of petitions every step to the United States Supreme Court. The Star urges every Negro to find out just who are doing the circulating, whose names are signed to the petitions, where these people work and for whom, or whether in business or not. This can be done. Money buys any commodity and will buy information. See how many politicians, big or little, who have signed their names. Get this information at any price.

Honor Graduate of the Institute of Musical Art, New York, and One of the Directors of the Martin-Smith School of Music. Engaged to R. Nathaniel Dett, Director of Vocal Music at the Hampton (Va.) Institute. [Image of a woman with a headband and necklace, wearing a crown and a sash.] Hampton, Va.-The engagement is announced here of R. Nathaniel Dett, director of the Hampton Choral union and director of vocal music at Hampton institute, and Miss Helen Elise Smith, planiste, of New York. Miss Smith is one of the directors of the Martin-Smith School of Music in New York. She holds two diplomas from the Institute of Music Art, of which Walter Damrosch is the director. Miss Smith has appeared with David Mannes and other leading artists. Last May she was one of the five artists presented in the Hampton institute musical festival. She also has the distinction of being the original pianist of the Music Settlement School For Colored People in New York. The genius, being creative, is sufficient unto himself, but the artist is a happy composition of native ability and superior training. Miss Helen Elise Smith is an artist. As a little child she evinced a remarkable aptitude for music and at eleven was regarded a very promising piano student. When her musical education had got beyond the ordinary instructor she easily passed the very rigid entrance requirements for the Institute of Musical Art of New York and after studying there for seven years graduated with honor. Sigismund Stojowski, the favorite pupil of Paderewski, was her piano teacher, and her instructors in harmony, theory and composition are recognized authorities in their particular lines. Mr. H. E. Krehbiel, formerly music critic for the New York Tribute, and other well known critics have emphatically expressed their appreciation of her interpretation of difficult compositions. --- WORK OF EXPERT ATHLETIC LEADER Fine Record of C. H. Williams of Hampton Institute. HAILS FROM OLD KENTUCKY Physical Director of Great Virginia Institution Renders Efficient Service to Students In Many Lines of Sport Masters His Problems Because He Knows How to Manage. By W. ANTHONY AERY BY W. ANTHONY AKEY. Charles H. Williams, physical director at the Hampton (Va.) institute, who has been so successful in training winning teams in football, baseball and track athletics, is well grounded himself in the principles which underlie sound work in physical training and athletics. Mr. Williams, who hails from Camp Nelson, Ky., received trade and academic training at Hampton institute and won his diploma in 1909. Then he spent one year in the physical directors' course at the Young Men's Christian Association college in Springfield, Mass. He is also a graduate of the Harvard university course in physical education and is the secretary-treasurer of the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic association. In 1910 Mr. Williams returned to Hampton institute as physical director. Since then, with quiet effectiveness and with uncommon thoroughness, he has worked early and late, summer PETER B. DIRECTOR C. H. WILLIAMS. and winter, for the building up of strong, pure bodies among the 500 boys of Hampton and for the development of athletic teams which would reflect credit on the institution and the whole Negro race. Mr. Williams has never lost sight of the importance of getting the entire student body into wholesome athletic work. Football, baseball, basketball, rowing, general track athletics—all these lines of sport have been system- atically developed at Hampton under his direction. The all round training and discipline of boys have been the essential aim rather than the training of a few winning teams which would help advertise the Hampton school. In the Hampton gymnasium during the past six years hundreds of boys have received valuable setting up exercises and helpful ideas for wholesome community recreation which they have been able to put at the service of distant rural and urban districts. Boys who come from Hampton are now expected to bring with them some working plans for community recreation. Many have asked, "Why is Mr. Williams so successful in turning out winning football teams?" Here is the substance of Mr. Williams' reply: "The success of Hampton athletic teams is due first to the regular life and habits of the students; second, to their sense of obedience, which is the unconscious reaction to military drill, and third, to their fine spirit of loyalty to the Hampton school and its officers." The director also believes in "preparedness in athletics." He applies to his problems scientific knowledge and does not have to worry about results, for the results take care of themselves. He gives to the men under his charge much individual study and care. He does not allow good material to go to waste in losing teams through lack of training and understanding. Every summer Mr. Williams gives a course in physical training at Hampton, which covers instruction in callisthenics, the use of wands, dumbbells and Indian clubs, gymnastic and playground games, folk games and athletics. The work in callisthenics is designed to give some idea of graded gymnastics by means of free exercises without hand apparatus that may be used in any school. The exercises given in the use of wands, Indian clubs and dumbbells are suitable for drills in school work. In gymnastic and playground games the following are considered: Baseball, basketball, volleyball, indoor baseball, captain ball and numerous other schoolyard games, including track and field sports. The work in folk games consists of ring games with music, for the elementary grades and of national folk games for older groups. Under the head of athletics come the cautions of the history of the move ment, ideals in playing and the value of competition. Mr. Williams has also helped to organize track meets for the juniors on the lower peninsula of Virginia. He has succeeded, too, in bringing into the Hampton gymnasium for work some of the boys' clubs of the neighborhood. Through athletics Mr. Williams has helped to teach many, many boys that irregular living does not pay, that physical efficiency is important, that health giving recreation for communities is both desirable and possible. Mr. Williams in a recent article in the Southern Workman wisely said: "Athletics tend to use the surplus energy of young men and women. They promote a spirit of loyalty that cannot be so well developed otherwise. But in order that they may do the greatest good they must exist for the student and not serve solely to advertise the school. The object of their maintenance in any school must be one of service in developing health, strength and vitality and in promoting wholesome recreation. Athletics as we have them today can be used as a powerful social force. They can be used in developing a higher social morality or a lower one by the standards set in the college games which are witnessed by hundreds and thousands of youth each year. "One of the great problems confronting the American people today is that of wholesome recreation, and it is indeed serious with the Negro. To realize its importance one has only to notice how and where the youth of the Negro race are spending their hours of recreation, both in the cities and in rural districts. The object of this great athletic movement that is sweeping over our land is an earnest effort to meet, at least in part, this demand for diversion. Our schools and colleges can do an inestimable good if they encourage the great mass of the youth to participate in such games and pastimes as will develop the many virtues of courage, endurance, unselfishness, heroism, patience and nobility of soul." THE LABOR PROBLEM SOUTH. Shortage of Colored Laborers at Birmingham, Ala., Causes Anxiety. The demand for the services of colored men in various sections of the country is increasing. At Birmingham, Ala., recently it was stated that there was a serious shortage of colored laborers in Birmingham and vicinity due to the fact that the colored people are leaving the south at the rate of nearly 100 per day for the north, southwest and parts of Virginia and Kentucky. Among the many reasons given for this great exodus of the colored people are lack of protection from mob violence, poor wages, disfranchisement, attempted segregation in farm employment, segregation in cities and on all public conveyances and almost nothing for their farm produce. The whole matter of treatment of colored citizens in most every southern state is ridiculous. If a colored person wants to buy a railroad or ferryboat ticket he is served at a separate window. If he enters a jimcrow car and all the seats in the coach for white people are taken and a white person comes into the jimcrow coach the colored person is forced to give up his seat. If he resists he is ejected from the car or arrested and turned over to the police at the next station. These and other outrages are some of the reasons why the colored people are leaving the south at every opportunity which presents itself for their doing so. BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION Annual Meeting of New Jersey Organization Held at Camden. The Afro-American Baptist state convention of New Jersey held its annual meeting at Camden in October, with a large attendance of delegates from churches throughout its jurisdiction. The reports on membership, finance and church property were very encouraging. Special emphasis was placed on the necessity of pushing the financial campaign in the interest of the Northern Baptist university by all the churches of the denomination in the northern and New England states. The election of officers for the ensuing year resulted as follows: President, the Rev. John C. Love of Montclair; vice presidents, the Rev. J. P. Gregory of Atlantic City, the Rev. E. G. Young of Lakewood, J. W. Walker of Moorestown, A. J. Jones of Plainfield and J. W. Green of Paterson; recording secretary, the Rev. L. C. Hurle, Elizabeth; corresponding secretary, the Rev. R. L. Harris, Englewood; treasurer, G. W. Krygar, East Orange. Charles S. Smith Renders Fine Services. The secretary to the chief of police at Cleveland for many years is Charles S. Smith. He has several assistants (white) His appointment after a civil service examination was secured for him by the Hon. Harry E. Smith, ex-member of the Ohio legislature and father of Ohio's civil rights and anti-lynching laws. It was an ap pointment that had been promised to Editor Smith for two years by Mayor Robert E. McKisson, who died several months ago. The editor had to wait, however, until a member of the race passed the civil service examination. Convention of Laymen Held at Atlanta.

NOVEMBER MEETINGS OF THE S I. AND S. CLUB. HAMPTON DEFEATS ROANOKE. Football Squad of Thrifty Institution Easy Victor Over Roanoke Athletes. The Hampton institute football squad recently defeated the Roanoke (VA.) Athletic club to the tune of 87 to 0. The Hampton boys showed their usual skill in passing the ball and line plunging. They often passed through the visitors' line like a whirlwind for ten or fifteen yards. On the second down of the first quarter Captain J. Dorsey hit the line for sixty-five yards, making the first touchdown. The game was in Hampton's favor from the start to finish. Roanoke attempted several forward passes, but they were either blocked or intercepted. Captain J. Hart of the Roanoke aggregation tried his famous punting stunts, but his punting toe failed to ride the pigskin as it did when he was a member of the Hampton squad. At the beginning of the second half the second Hampton team went out. Many spectators were on hand to see what style of ball the seaside "machine" has in store for the reason. The lineup was: Roanoke Athletic club-center. Barksdale; right guard, Hale; right tackle, B. Davis; right end, C. Davis; left guard, Brown; left tackle, Locklayar; left end, Gee; left halfback, Eggleton; right halfback, Cates; quarterback, Hayden; fullback H. Harth (captain). Hampton institute-center. Dabney; right guard Davenport; right tackle, Dixon; right end, G. Williams; left guard, Clayborne; left tackle, Banks; left end, Paxton; left halfback, Meadows; right halfback, Dorsey (captain); quarterback, Harvey; fullback Rigney. The Booker T. Washington Association At the recent meeting of the colored employees of the Curtis Publishing company, composing the Booker T. Washington association, in Philadelphia, S. A. Inzier was chosen president. The organization has existed as a temporary body since February. It is now permanently formed and starts out with a membership of sixty-five Through the influence of the association the employees of other concerns in Philadelphia will unite more closely for mutual association and help in securing better positions and large wages in the many industrial enter prises both in and out of Philadelphia In fact, the Booker T. Washington as association will act as a clearing house for the race in Philadelphia along in dustrial lines Star Pays Tribute to W. P. Graves. The Newport News (Va.) Star in a recent issue pays a fine tribute to the late W. P. Graves, public school teacher and contributor to the Star at Suffolk, Va. The Star empirizes the fact that Mr. Graves was loyal prompt and truthful in his business transactions and was the direct cause of much of the Star's success in Suffolk. The Welton Fruit Market purchased 5 carloads of potatoes near Dearfield, Colo. He is improving his place by extending and enlarging his dry goods department. His fine treatment, low prices and general good nature has won him a large trade. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Dearfield are among the employees.

Phone Main 1702j GRAVE PROBLEMS CONFRONT SOUTH Many Reasons Given For Great Exodus of Laborers. NEED OF LAW ENFORCEMENT Editorial in New Orleans Times-Picayune Evokes Able Comment on the Situation by W. Scott Chinn—Emigration of Colored People to the North and West Is Approved. Plaquemine, La.—The great exodus of colored people from the south to the north and west is evoking serious comment in all sections. The following by W. Scott Chinn of this place, which appeared recently in the Picayune, sums up the cause of this leavetaking of the colored people of the south in a nutshell. The situation is serious, and it requires a right about face action on the part of the south to change the growing condition of unrest which now pervades the ranks of the working classes in its midst. Mr. Chinn says: "Your editorial of Sept. 19 entitled 'Negro Emigration to the North' is about the sanest and most logical view of the situation presented lately, and it's high time for our good white friends of the south to quit playing and 'act' rather than 'talk' about what the south stands for as relates to the Negro. "As far as climatic conditions, location, etc., the south is the natural home of the Negro, but I blush and hang my head with shame when I think of other essential conditions—namely: Social welfare, where absolutely no protection is given to the women of my race, and our young girls still remain the prey of evil white and black men, the Mann act not affecting them at all." "Educationally, it is 'nil,' for in many counties and parishes there is not a public school for colored people, and if so it is for a few days or months and often taught by those less prepared than their pupils, although in many instances Negroes pay all kinds of taxes, even school taxes, which must help to educate white children, while their own grow up in ignorance. "Economic conditions need not be mentioned, for the south has waxed and grown fat on the work of the colored laborer, for every cent paid him has simply flown back into the white man's pocket, whereas that paid other nations has flown abroad, and to stay Inhuman treatment of the Negro simply means the killing of the goose that lays the golden eggs. "Why should lynching continue for a moment? White men both make and execute the laws, thus putting us at their complete mercy in every way, so that legally any crime can be punished within an hour after its committal. "The utter disregard of these things upon the part of the south is responsible for the migration, not the lure of better homes and other things alone, but longing for that peace and privilege to rest contented and happy within the place called home. "The Negro loves the south and his southern white friends, but I am afraid she only loves him as he serves her selfish ends. Boast as we may, it still appears as if the south harbors ill will toward us, for at every opportunity harrowing tales are told of our faults and shortcomings, real or imaginary, while our worthy deeds seldom see the light of day. There is too much living in the past' as relates to us—days of reconstruction and Negro domination—when the white man is now in full possession from start to finish. Why not play fair and tell the truth? "Booker T. Washington, with all of his apparent indifference, knew full well that the south did not practice the Golden Rule in its treatment of us, and on no proposed tour did he ever sanction or agree to travel until he had been assured that his presence would meet the approval of the whites. Why? The answer is with you. "Publish it far and near, as you well point out, that unless the conditions be improved in those sections where they are dissatisfied the exodus will continue, and it will unless the white Christian men and women of our fair southland rise and with undaunted faith in God, who leadeth aright, come forth and correct these evils. The die is cast, and that 'formidable competition' of which you speak will prove the undoing of a land rich in many possibilities and once again set back the hour hand of time on the clock of progress "The Negro must be allowed to work with and not merely for the white man, to be at least kicked and treated even worse than when a slave. It's high noon, the clock has struck, and the European war is yet destined to settle many other problems equally as grave. A new program is on, and the new south must keep pace with it or suffer. A grateful people thank you for that noble editorial." Ministers' Alliance For Prohibition. The Ministers' alliance of Kansas City is making a determined fight against the saloons of that city. Members of the organization have started a state wide campaign in behalf of prohibition as a result of not getting any co-operation from the local authorities in their efforts to have the law relating to the liquor traffic enforced, so it is reported. Indications of Race Solidarity Seen In Support Given Militant Body. The good influence of the annual meeting of the National Equal Rights league, recently held in Washington, is being rapidly felt throughout the country. In several cities in different sections branch leagues are being organized to promote the work of the national body, which has so indelibly impressed itself on the mind of so many of our people who have at last seen that the race can only do its best work through well organized effort. At a meeting held in Brooklyn the latter part of October by a group of prominent citizens it was decided to organize a branch league and adopt the policy and program of the National league for racial advancement in all matters of public movement, especially to war against discrimination on account of race or color in places or conveyances for the public. This Brooklyn meeting was presided over by Mrs. M. C. Lawton, president of the Empire State Federation of Women's clubs, and the only woman of the race employed as a contributor to a daily paper in Greater New York. John H. Dickerson, a prominent member of the Society of the Sons of North Carolina, was secretary of the meeting, and N. B. Dodson, president of the Society of the Sons of Virginia, agreed to furnish the proposed branch with the plans of the main organization. Hon. George E. Wilbecan delivered a most timely address at the meeting, in the course of which he said that William Monroe Trotter, editor of the Boston Guardian, had received a national vindication from the charge made by some that Mr. Trotter injured the race in some respects by his attitude or remarks at what is now popularly known as the Trotter-Wilson episode of November, 1914. The officers of the National Equal Rights league for 1916-17 are the following: Rev. Byron Gunner, New York, president; vice presidents, Rev. R. C. Ransom, New Jersey; William D. Brigham, Massachusetts; Rev. Harvey Johnson, Maryland; Mrs. Ida B. Wells-Barnett, Illinois; Rev. C. H. Stephan, District of Columbia; Rev. M. F. Sydes, Rhode Island; Rev. W. Spencer Carpenter, Pennsylvania; Rev. John Barnett, Virginia; William S. L. Adams, Illinois; Bishop I. N. Rose, Rev. W. C. Brown; recording secretary, James L. Nellin; District of Columbia; assistant recording secretary, William Warley, Kentucky; corresponding secretary, William Monroe Trotter, Massachusetts; assistant corresponding secretary, Maurice W. Spencer, Delaware; treasurer, Thomas Walker, District of Columbia; financial secretary, Dr. William A. Sinclair, Pennsylvania; assistant financial secretary, A. F. Wallace, District of Columbia; chaplain, Rev O. E. Dennison, Massachusetts; national organizer, Rev J. E. Churchman, New Jersey; assistant national organizer, Rev Arthur Randall, Maryland. M. W. Spencer was elected chairman of the national executive committee. VALLEY REST ENLARGED. Urban League Provides For Male Patients at Convalescent Home. Valley Rest Convalescent Home, located at White Plains, N. Y., has now a fully equipped department for male patients. Accommodations have already been provided for six men. Up to Oct. 25, as in the case of women patients, admission to the institution will be granted through the Urban league in New York city upon recommendation from a hospital, a physician or a registered nurse, followed by a certificate of admission from the city examining physician who examines each patient at the Urban league's office, 2303 Seventh avenue, New York. No person suffering with a communicable disease will be admitted. The boys' department at Sunny Brae, under the management of the Burke foundation, is now receiving colored boys for convalescent care. The Urban league is in a position to secure the admission of any boy who is in need of care during convalescence. The league is also co-operating with the Association For the Prevention and Relief of Heart Disease in an effort to get cases among our people included in their work. The association will gather data about cardiac, study and develop occupations and vocational guidance, assist in the establishment of more cardiac classes, organize cardiac convalescence, work for the prevention of the disease and seek for cooperation and publicity in regard to the work being done for cardiac. Citizens of Durham Show Race Pride At a meeting recently held in Durham, N. C., in the interest of raising funds to assist in paying off the mortgage on the old homestead of Frederick Douglass at Anacosta, Washington, $40 was raised. The importance of the movement to preserve the property as a monument to the late orator, abolitionist and statesman was represented by Judge Robert H. Terrell of Washington, who delivered an interesting speech. The National Association of Colored Women's Clubs is also taking a leading part in the movement to rid the Douglass home of debt. Rosenwald Gives $25,000 to New School Julius Grosenwald of Chicago has given $25,000 toward the erection of an industrial school building near Independence, Mo. The plot on which the new schoolhouse is to be erected consists of sixteen acres. Francis E. Parker is architect. The promoters of the new institution hope to make it a big center of industrial and educational uplift for the people of that section of Missouri and adjacent states.

Birmingham. Ala., depends almost wholly upon the Negro for its unskilled and semiskilled labor. Nashville, Atlanta, Memphis and Jacksonville do likewise. But in all of these towns, save in some instances in Birmingham, wages are too low, housing conditions are poor and the advantages for recreation and pleasure exceedingly limited. It will be from these localities that Negroes will emigrate to the middle west and east and to localities where wages are good and where there are opportunities for pleasure and self improvement. No class of labor remains satisfied indefinitely under oppressive conditions. The Negro laborer is no exception to the rule. He has tried the south. He is willing to try the east and middle west. All he has awaited is a genuine call, based upon a real and lasting need. This movement eastward and westward of unskilled Negro labor will both directly and indirectly help the professional Negro. The younger element of Negro workers, those of ambition and of some training in the schools, will be constantly emerging from the unskilled to the semiskilled and skilled classes, with a consequent increase in their payrolls and a betterment in their methods of living. This will give the Negro professional al man a hold in many not strictly Negro communities and will give him what a few of his colleagues now possess in the larger centers—a clientele that will be of all colors and of all races. It will allow those of market natural ability to rise higher in their profession than they would if limited in their practice to only one race and class. A decidedly better treatment of the Negro, both in the north and in the south, will grow out of this scattering of the race. The old condition grew out of the fact that the demand for his labor has been limited and the supply unlimited. Other influences, some sister and some not so sinister, have worked against him. In the south it has been that old and seemingly inerate legal prejudice which would give to him only those things which the white man did not want. Not infrequently the ostracism that came to the Negro in the east and middle west came by virtue of the fact that in religion, in race and sometimes in politics he has been an outsider. It is not unnatural in the small community for the priest to intercede with the employer for his flock and for those of his persuasion. Neither is it out of the ordinary for the politician to desire to control jobs out of the narrow range of political appointments. Closer ties still are those of race and language and nationality. The Negro heretofore, with merely sentiment on his side, has not been able to overcome these barriers. But, if all signs fail not, the conflict now raging will so lessen the effectiveness of these agencies that the black man will not find it difficult to win a place and hold it in our larger industrial and economic scheme of things.

CHAMPA 2962 JAN CURRY'S WORK IN GERMAN ARMY Native African Rendered Fine Military Service. Timely Comment on Achievements of Colored Men In Various Lines of Employment as Far Back as the Eighteenth Century—Society For Historical Research Secures Rare Book. BY JOHN E. BRUCE "GRIT." Although Dr. Bernard Dernburg, one time secretary for the colonies for German Southwest Africa, declared some years ago in a speech in London, "We want no educated proletariat in Africa," it is a fact that thirty years ago, in a work published in Berlin, mention is made of Jan Curry, an unadulterated African, who was raised to the dignity of commandant of the Brandenburg Fort de Grosse, Frederickberg, situated in the Cape of Tres Forcas, on the western coast of Africa, by the German government. He must have been a man of some education to have held, as he did, such an important post. As the officers of the German army who passed through the department of military history of the general staff were promoted, the achievements of this Negro as a military genius formed a part of their curriculum. He was cited as one whose military career was worthy of emulation. One of these German generals has paid a high compliment to Jan Curry as a military strategist. I am indebted to Dr. Kunst of Guatemala, a great German scholar and friend of the race, for these facts. Dr. Kunst wrote for the Journal of Negro History for October a most interesting article on another subject relating to the Negro. The late Governor Russwurm of Liberia, some time editor of one of the early Negro newspapers in New York city, while governor applied for and obtained leave of absence to visit the United States to make a report to the Colonization society, of which he was the duly accredited representative in Liberia. The members of the board, sitting in the city of Baltimore, took advantage of his presence in the city (1847) to make his personal acquaintance. They gave him a dinner at the principal hotel in the city, at which there were no absentees, and there was not one present; says J. H. B. Latrobe, who was not impressed by the grave, courteous and dignified bearing of the agent whose wise and prudent conduct of the society's affairs in Africa had given such satisfaction. "One with difficulty," says the editor of "Maryland In Liberia" (1885), page 72, "recalls nowadays the sensation that the idea of this dinner to a colored man in 1847 produced in Baltimore. It was ludicrous to see the astonishment of the Irish waiters who surrounded the table at Page's hotel when they were called upon to render the same service to a colored man that they were in the habit of rendering to many socially prominent citizens." So we have three instances of record where Negroes have dined with distinguished white men—Julus Melbourne as the guest of Thomas Jefferson at Monticello in the eighteenth century, with many notable men of the period, among them Chief Justice Marshall, Dr. Dexter, etc.; Governor Russwurm at Baltimore and Booker T. Washington at the White House in Washington. How many of the present generation know that in 1810 there existed in the city of Philadelphia an insurance company composed of colored men, with a capital of $5,000 and with an office located at 159 (now 529) Lombard street? Its president was Joseph Randolph, Cyrus Porter treasurer and William Coleman secretary, and its capital was in cash. It flourished from 1811 to 1813, as stated in the city directories of that period. In the latter year it was located at 153 Lombard street, in the residence of its secretary, who was a schoolteacher. Some of the policies are yet preserved in the families of the insured. There is a great demand by collectors of old books for books by Negro authors. I recently picked up at random a catalogue of a New York city dealer and noted the following: DuBois "Philadelphia Negro;" "Africa and America." Alex Crumwell; "Running a Thousand Miles For Freedom." William Craft, and "Personal Experience of Uncle Tom," by Jones. The wonderful thing about these books is that they are more sought after by white people, for some reason, than their own. This is not bad. Still it would not hurt if we Negroes were a little bit more interested. The Negro Society For Historical Research has recently acquired a very rare book, "An Account of the Trial of the British Soldiers Who Killed Attacks," on whose death the trial was based, and Gray and Maverick, his colleagues, who attacked the main guard of the British soldiers in Boston March 5, 1775; also the true story written by a Negro of the Denmark-Vesey insurrection in South Carolina, with all the inside facts.

Organization Headed by Mrs. Joanna Snowden Porter Conducts Enthusiastic Campaign With Votes For Women as Paramount Issue—Platform Calls For Effective Legislation. By MINNIE M. SCOTT. Chicago—The Northwestern Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, Mrs. J. Snowden Porter, president, has done a noteworthy service in its work to secure the ballot for women. In the campaign just closed the federation adopted and used the following as its platform and plea for fair play: A group of Illinois women, encouraged as they were by the hope of this new emancipation offered to them by their state and realizing the opportunities afforded them in their work of social service through the ballot, are cooperating with their sister workers having the same or partial rights in their effort to make national suffrage a fact, thereby giving to all women the power to use the ballot for the purpose of securing such legislation as will promote the advancement of all citizens of all sections of this country. "Deeds, not words," is a motto much believed in by this group of earnest women, and they set about the work of organizing women of the "old northwest" and the "new northwest" with these ideas in mind at their first annual meeting, held at Wichita, Kan., adopted as their platform of principles, among other planks, a recommendation for a national child labor law and one for universal suffrage, asking the national parties, which intended to make their appeal to the voting contingency for support, to incorporate these principles or their substance in their 1916 platforms. This organization has been carefully watching the situation since that time and analyzing the pledges of the parties and their nominees, especially those of the Democratic and Republican parties, Woodrow Wilson and Charles Evans Hughes. The paramount issue, so far as women are concerned, is universal suffrage, for it will be through this source only that we can hope for such legislation as we have continually asked for, which will bring to us all the other progressive measures along social and economic lines and assure to the home and the community the security and welfare of the people. Universal suffrage will make the child labor law secure. We have worked for, hoped for it a long time. Therefore we want to stand by our own platform and urge all women to cooperate with the "vote for women" movement. Such laws we have also looked forward to as a protection to our children and future men and women and a safeguard to the health and happiness of the breadwinner, but when we analyze this legislation carefully, given us in the eleventh hour, presumably for political purposes, we find little of merit in the giver. America is again in travail, the result of which we are hoping and praying will give birth to national woman suffrage, that new emancipation toward which women have been working and hoping for more than forty years, hoping and working to free themselves from a bondage of inequality. As at the time of the emancipation of the Negro slave, so it is now in the affairs of the nation. Men's hearts are failing them for fear of what is coming upon the republic, whatever they may say to the contrary. They are seeking everywhere for a solution of the problems which are continually confronting them. Wars and rumors of wars, disasters by land and sea, labor complications, the tariff question. many matters of social and economic interest, are constantly engaging the attention of our wisest and most sober statesmen. They invoke the consideration of congress, and still they are far from solution. Our country was never in a more unsettled condition since its discovery than it is at the present time. Whenever women have been given the franchise, either partial or in full, home and community conditions have been bettered because laws have been made better and more secure. Yet, as "a little leaven leaveneth the whole jump," there must of necessity come a retardation of effect, and we can only hope for universal and steady advancement when all the women in every part of the country shall have the power to express their desire through the ballot. Until then we shall continue to see our country rise and fall, like the ebb and flow of the sea. Four years ago there came to us a new party with a new platform, with new planks, offering us protective child labor laws and woman's suffrage. This party was to woman like the cloud the size of a man's hand. The hope extended then has grown until, like that cloud, it has grown for us to the typical "pillar of fire," leading to the promised day, as our fellow men have extended that franchise. The new plants of 1912 have become the vital issues of the campaign just closed. Welton Market and Dept. Store The cleanest, cheapest, best and most accomodating store in Denver.
