Cape Town.—Great recruiting activity is going on all over the union not only for the overseas contingent which has so distinguished itself in France and on other fronts and of which South Africans are very proud, but for the forces in German East Africa, where General Jan Christian Smuts's 'ragtime' army, which is engaged in the arduous task of rounding up the scattered bands of the enemy in the vast mountains and jungles of the southeast corner of the colony in which they are corralled. Moreover 10,000 blacks are being recruited for labor service in Europe. In behalf of the army recruits Premier Botha has issued an appeal to employers in which he said: "I though many of you already have given substantial help in releasing employees, all should now make real sacrifices, even at the cost of certain inconvenience and possibly pecuniary losses by releasing further volunteers while absent, and guarantees of re employment on return." General Botha has also requested each of his cabinet colleagues to let all men in their respective departments volunteer who desire to do so, replacing them, if their work cannot be dispensed with for the time being, by men who are not volunteers or are unfit for military service by reason of age or incapacity, and by women willing to take up work in government offices for the purpose of releasing men for service at the front. As regards the 10,000 black their organization will be a military one, and they will be subjected to military discipline, although they will not under any circumstances be employed as a fighting force. They will be formed into five battalions of 2,000 men each, and will be under the direct control officers of the Union of South Africa. They will be housed in closed compounds, which will be provided with everything requisite for their comfort and well being. Native chaplains will be attached to each battalion. The flat rate of pay for privates will be $15 a month, with higher rates for those of higher rank. While all the commissioned officers will, of course, be white, the sergeants corporals and lance-corporals will be chosen from among the men themselves. Specifically, they will be employed in dock labor at French ports. They will receive one-third of their pay while abroad, the balance to be handed them on their return to Cape Town. COULD NOT WRITE BUT SAVED MONEY Louisville, Ky.—Samuel Carter; a Colored man who died in the Red Cross Hospital for Negroes, was not able to sign his name and for years has been doing odd jobs at any sort of employment he could find. But the probating of his will revealed the fact that he had left an estate of about $10,000; consisting of realty located in various sections of Louisville. The aged Negro left all of his property to Miss Frances Virginia Owens, a teacher in the Western Colored school, with whose family he had been friendly for more than 50 years. Miss Owen was nursing Carter at the hospital when he died. He began buying property a half century ago. His plan was to mortgage a piece of property to buy another piece, then work and pay off the mortgage. This he repeated time after time. He spent hardly anything, usually having quatters wherever he was employed. NEPHEWS OF LATE MRS. MA- YR L. VAN NESS OPPOSSED COLORED SERVANT'S GIFT There are two questions to be decided in the contest over the will of Mrs. Mary L. Van Ness, filed in the Surrogate Court. One. a question of fact, is whether the testatrix, who died July 12, at the age of ninety one, entertained Frederick T. Barry, a real estate broker, with exhibitions of modern dancing. The other question will be hypothetical, and one or more alienists will be asked to answer it. Herbert Marshall, of Beacon, N. Y. and Albert A. Marshall, of New Zealand, nephews of Mrs. Van Ness, are the contestants. The nephews allege that Mr. Barry, who looked after the business affairs of Mrs. Van Ness, endeared himself to her by bringing Easter lilies and venison. Mr. Barry has denied the contestant's statements about the dancing. He said that in her last ten years the aged woman, whose home was at 17 E. 71st street, led the life of a recluse. Mrs. Van Ness left Mr. Barry $15,000 in the contested will, to which the nephews object. This was in compensation for his services, Mr. Barry explained. Objection is also made to $10,000 left to Joseph Sheldon, a colored butler. A colored boy of eighteen, Walter White, has been appointed from Boston as a stenographer and typewriter in the War Department at a salary of $1000. He gained the position through civil service examination. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, DEC. 16, 1916 The Western Farm comes cut in a front page article and gives D. H. Hopper of Calhan, Colo., the cred it of being a champion dry farmer at the recent county fair held at Calhan, Colo. Mr. Hopper exhibited from 25 pounds of seeds, planted in 3 rows, cut and eye to the hill, beautiful white Burbank potatoes, one thousand pounds to the row or an estimate of three thousands pounds. This was done without irrigation and in a season of short rain fall. "Where is this man Hopper?" "Out watching the ball game or the aeroplane," replied Mr. Lennox. "We'll find him." Finding him was easy, for like Saul, he towered above his fellows by almost a head. The rest was not so easy, for Hopper proved to be a retiring, modest sort of farmer, who did not like to talk about his work, but preferred to let results speak. The fact that he is of African blood might have caused his diffidence, but that need not worry him. It is the things he has accomplished on his eighty acres, under naturally unfavorable conditions, that make his example worth while. Here is Hopper's formula for successful farming under light rainfall in a short crop season at a high altitude: "Plow deep; cultivate carefully and often; produce your own meat and garden stuff; grow your own feed; sell grain and potatoes for your cash income." "I have raised as high as 17,000 pounds of potatoes to the acre; this record was made on one acre and was the first crop I grew. I have three acres this season and will have a yield that look like old times." There was some story of a homesteader's sacrifice and privation crowned with final success in nearly every exhibit at the Calhan fair; something that told the world, here is a community built on pioneer grit that has found itself and is on the upward swing. This Negro is silently but effectively plodding away carefully solving his problem and laying a foundation upon which the race needs to build for the people in city life. Good boy Hopper, Colorado is proud of you". isers For Holiday Bargains OCIAL POISE" IN KANSAS CITY. The equilibrium of society must always depend not upon the arts and sciences, the pure socially intercourse of units, theads, fancies or polite folliness but upon the solid rock of the clean-cut morality with out which the whole scheme or social fabric must collapse. Simmered down, it is the proverbial test between right and wrong. The inevitable contest for supremacy between the votaries of each. If right wins there is cleanness and advancement. If wrong wins there is corruption and backwardness. This may appear high sounding but if you thought a little more about your own environment and in what atmosphere you live, what bearing it has upon your life, and the chances you have of absorbing the good and eschewing the evil then this subject would become all important to you. Social poise would have a meaning. As a rule we are so busy fighting for sheer existence which our fair brothers strenuously contest with us that we pay little attention to phases of our own immediate society. Its balance, its ascendancy or its retrogressive tendencies. For instance did you know that we of Kansas City have a better social poise than our windy city Chicago? Why? Because we have our strong distinctive classes based upon moral nicety whereas Chicago boasts of its homogeneity. Recently I interviewed a baseball magnate of Chicago and in showing the superiority of that city over ours he boasted mainly of the cabarets and buffets as assets to its unrivaled progress as a cosmospolitan set of colored folks. He said that the difference in Chicago and Kansas City is that here the best Negroes hold aloft from the cabaret and sport circles, whereas the "biggest" Negroes in Chicago are the chief frequenters and supporters of such. The average Chicagoan enthusiastically verifies this statement. Now is Kansas City merely slow or has she a studied Social Poise? The spirit of our better element seems to say: "We have our good, bad and indifferent but the lines must be drawn. You cannot be a cabareter and a Sunday School teacher at the same time and also be classed with the best. If you are seeking social recognition with those who disprove of what they know to be demoralizing and you are a devotee of the cabaret you must (in the words of Saint Paul) "sep arate yourself and come out from among them." Kansas City discriminates properly between those who would corrupt, between the strict and dissolute, the moral and immoral. A few vainly imagine they are playing ROBBERS FACE BLACK BUT HANDS WERE WHITE Elizabeth, N. C.—If the man who assulted and robbed Mrs. Frank G. Congleton, a white woman of this town, of $702 on Saturday night, November 25, had been more careful in putting on his disguise, it is quite probable that the Negroes here would have received rough treatment from the white people. She was robbed by a man with a black face but white hands. Mrs. Congleton and husband did not believe in banks and their savings were carried by the woman in a wallet concealed in her bosom. As she was enroute home about 8:30 that night the highwayman met her and thrust a pistol in her face demanding her money. From her pocket in her blouse he secured $7, but evidently having some knowledge of the hiding place of her savings, he knocked her down, choked her and tore from the inside of her bodice the wallet with $695. Mrs. Congleton didn't recognize him, but she declared to the authorities that while the man's face was black his hands were the hands of a white man. The police put dogs on the man's trail and he was tracked to the Norfolk Southern depot, where the trail was lost. Nebraska Democrats Appoint Race Men Lincoln, Nebr.,—Four Colored men have so far received appoint under the state democratic administration elect. Major Moore and Col. Wm. Woods were reappointed to the positions held by them under previous administrations, while Secretary of State, C. W. Fool, has appointed Fred Bailey as clerk. In addition to Bailey's regular work he will assist in the registration of automobile licenses, which is a rather responsible duty. The fourth appointment has been made by the democratic sheriff elect, Mr. Thompson, in naming a Colored man as jailor. He will be the first one of his race in the Court House for many years. What will the Colorado Democrats do? They are now put on trial. both sides but they are deceiving themselves—only. What many Chicago Windies boast of as great, Kansas City does not desire. We are seeking a social poise that separates those who believe in moral accountability from those who would follow the brazen trait of Bacchus and Debauchery.—Kansas City Sun. FIVE CENTS A COPY. N. Y. EVENING POST TAKES RAP AT SUN New York Evening Post, in a recent issue, pokes fun at the New York Sun on its comment on Fritz Pollard, as follows: Too Bad! Too Bad! Isn't It? "We look forward eagerly to ascertaining from our southern exchanges what ought to be done to this Negro on the Brown football team who had the unparalleled impudence to score at will on Yale and Harvard. In the victory, says the Sun, in dangerously inflamable language, one man stood out as possibly the greatest halfback in the country, and he is Fred Pollard, the Negro player of the Providence team. We regret to note, too, that when Pollard scored his third touch down after running 46 yards thru the entire Harvard team, 'the crowd rose as one and accorded him an ovation rarely heard even on a collegiate field.' This is all very generous, of course, but where does it leave our own familiar friends, Social Prejudice and Anglo Saxon Superiority? Isn't this misunderstanding ideas into Pollard's head as to what constitutes his proper place? Did not the Stadium crowd realize that by thus ap plauding a mere 'nigger' they were endangering white su premacy in the south. Per haps, in order to keep Fred Pollard from being unduly elated, some one will send him the news from the Macon Daily Telegraph of how a Florida gentleman on Thurs day used a revolver on a Colored chauffeur for the henious crime of grinning at him. The bullet missed, but the chauf feur is in jail on the charge of disord conduct!"—New York Evening Post. Jews and Colored People There are, in this country, more than 10,000,000 colored people, nearly as many as there are Jews in the entire world. The black man has been fighting the race problem nearly 200 years, and the Jews have been fighting it 5,000 years. Will the colored man continue to fight the race problem or will he profit by the experience of the Jews? We have won our freedom; we have our rights under the law regardless of the fact that we are denied our privileges. But could we unite our forces like the Jew and turn our dis advantages into advantages and give one tenth of the time the energy, the influence of the contribution, the eloquent speeches and the prominence that give to the discussion of equal rights and the problem, to actual work in organizing promoting, supporting and maintaining business corporations among our people, with the industrial foundation we now have, we could within a few years, like the Jew, buy our way thru race prejudice and discrimination.

The Sunday School will present the joyful Christmas exercises Saturday night, December 22. Don't fail to come out and hear the children. A hearty welcome awaits you at all of our services. Sunday afternoon the Every Member Canvass Committee will visit the congregation. The purpose is that each member and friend of Zion will be given opportunity to make his weekly subscription for the year 1917. The church is planning the biggest year in its history. In order that it might properly fill its place in the community by meeting the demands upon it as a source of help and sustenance for the needy, it is needful that every one of God's children render unto the Master that which is His own. Zion is learning that it is a shame for the church of God to know prosperity, material or spiritual, while God's needy children suffer for the bare necessities of life at its very doors. This must cease to be. When the church awakens to a realization of this fact there will be a great change in its attitude, both to God and to man. "Bring ye the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be meat on my table, and try me now herewith, saith the Lord, and see if I will not open the windows of heaven and pour you out a blessing that ye have not room enough to receive it." It is the purpose of the church to see to it this winter that there is no case of real need in the community which is not met by some substantial help. To this end there has been a large relief committee appointed whose business it is to minister this grace. The congregation and community is solicited to bring to the church offerings of food, cast of clothing, money, etc., which a supplies committee will prepare for proper distribution. The Sunday School will observe this year the beautiful service of the "White Gifts Christmas." Sunday evening, December 24, will be the time when the congregation and school will make its offering unto the King. Gifts of self, service and substance are to be received from everyone who feels his sense of obligation to the Great Giver of every perfect gift. Every member of the congregation should make it his purpose to be present at this beautiful service. It is the hope that none will forget the early morning Christmas service. At the hour, 5:30 to 6:30, will be held our annual Christmas morning praise. Let us have a large attendance. It is the hope that those living near the church will open their homes to the friends living at a distance so that everyone who will may come to the service.

SINGLETON Graduate of the Emerson Institute Pursued College Course at Talladega College and Received Her Training For Social Service at Fisk University, Leader In Community Work at New Orleans. A. E. New Orleans, La.-The National League on Urban Conditions Among Colored People may well congratulate itself on the fact that it is doing a work for the race that is not duplicated by any other organization. The fruitful efforts of the league are shown in the activities of several persons who are at present engaged in gainful occupations. For instance, Miss Rosalie I. Singleton, who has recently taken up community work in connection with Straight college and the co-operation of three Congregational churches of New Orleans (Central, Howard and Beecher), has been well trained for her work by practical experience. Miss Singleton has come to her present position by doing hard and faithful work. Entering school late, before she reached the fourth grade in a private school of Mobile, Ala., she was compelled to discontinue her education because of lack of funds. After an interval of three years she entered Emerson institute and worked her way through, completing her high school education there in 1911. Because of her ambition for a college education, by the help of friends she was able to enter Talladega college as an aided student. At Talladega during her senior year, after she had looked up some poor children at Christmas time, she gave up the idea of becoming a secretary of the Young Women's Christian association and decided to fit herself for social service. In order to carry out her plans she thought of teaching several years in order that she might get the money to receive social service training. About this time Miss Singleton learned of the fellowships for training social service workers offered at Fisk university by the National League on Urban Conditions Among Colored People. Her application was accepted because of her previous record, her qualities of character, her earnestness of purpose. She therefore spent a year in social service training at Fisk. While at Fisk the work at the Bethlehem House, the settlement operated jointly by the woman's missionary council, the M. E. Church South and Fisk university, gave her the training which she is beginning to put into practice now. At the Bethlehem House she learned how to organize and conduct clubs and classes of various kinds. She did friendly visiting into the homes of the people and received much valuable experience as a relief worker in the great East Nashville fire of last March. Miss Singleton is beginning to use all of that experience in her present work in New Orleans. She is co-operating with Straight college and the churches of this city. She is endeavoring to make the life of the community better by organizing clubs among both old and young, conducting cooking and sewing classes and by promoting clean and wholesome play and recreation among the children and young people The National league's northern head quarters are at 2303 Seventh avenue New Orleans LEAGUE ISSUES ANNUAL REPORT YEAR OF BIG UNDERTAKINGS Organization, Formed Six Years Age Becomes Potent Factor In the Industrial Life of the Race Operates Branches In Twenty Cities-Furnished Employment For 458 Students. New York.-The National League on Urban Conditions Among Colored People, with headquarters in this city, issued its sixth annual printed report early in December. The report covers the activities of the league for the fiscal year, including bright bits of its history during the past five years. Under the national features of the league are recorded the observance of national Negro health week, which was conducted by all the league's various branches. Lectures on the causes of migration to cities, at some large universities and schools of the south, addresses and conferences held on welfare work by representatives of the league in New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, New Jersey, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Delaware, District of Columbia, Kentucky, Illinois, Virginia, Georgia, Florida, Alabama and Tennessee are reported. The national work embraces also the formation of organizations in Detroit, Indianapolis, Pittsburgh, Huntsville, Ala., and Memphis, Tenn., and the prosecution of plans for movements in Cincinnati, Chicago, Washington and Jacksonville, Fla. The league is now working in twenty cities. In 1915 a bureau to assist Negro graduates of schools and colleges to get adjusted to positions suited to their training was opened at Nashville, and applications from forty workers and twenty-three requests from institutions and organizations for trained workers were received. An interesting account of the efforts of the league to broaden the field of employment for colored people, especially as it relates to work obtained for students from southern agricultural schools and colleges in the tobacco fields of the Connecticut valley, is told. The success of this venture is seen in the fact that 458 students were able to receive sufficient compensation to help with their tuition upon returning to school in the fall. Two hundred and thirty-six men and women were sent from New York and vicinity, who obtained permanent work in this same capacity. For the past five years the league has given opportunity to two young people to study social sciences at the New York School of Philanthropy and Columbia university, furnishing them necessary funds to defray actual living expenses while prosecuting their studies. Upon completing their work in New York they have been sent to social service positions in various communities. Forrester B. Washington, 1915-16 fellow, is now secretary of the Detroit League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes, a report of this organization being given in the league's annual report. Fellowships are also given to worthy students at Fisk university, when they have shown an inclination toward social work. In New York the league continued its work with girls and boys, assisting 260 boys and 190 girls from the children's courts, public schools and other sources. The Junior Park Protective league in Harlem, which was continued last year, met regularly and was directed in drills by police officers from the Thirty-eighth precinct. Among other New York features may be mentioned the organizations of workers, the creating of employment opportunities, assistance in the enforcement of housing regulations, the maintenance of Valley Rest Convalescent home, which during last year accommodated 760 women patients. It is interesting to note that members of the league are serving on the board of fifteen organizations that are working among colored people in New York city and that the co-operation received through this affiliation serves as an excellent medium through which the league accomplishes much of its welfare work. A total of 1,860 cases were disposed of during the year, and 1,374 separate jobs were given to worthy individuals. The report contains also a summary of the work done in Brooklyn, Nashville, Philadelphia, with the Armstrong Association and the Association For the Protection of Colored Women, Richmond, Savannah, Augusta, Huntsville, Ala.; Atlanta, Louisville, St. Louis, Detroit, Pittsburgh and Norfolk. A total of $31,266.37 was handled by the league last year. About two-fifths of this amount was handled for special work in connection, with the securing of laborers for the tobacco fields in the Connecticut valley, the maintenance of a convalescent home and the furnishing of mechanics for a pump corporation in western Massachusetts. The officers of the league are: L. Hollingworth Wood, president; John T. Emlen, vice president; Kelly Miller, vice president; Robert R. Moton, vice president; William H. Baldwin 3d, secretary; A. S. Frissell, treasurer; Victor H. McCutcheon, assistant treasurer; Eugene Knickle Jones and George Edmund Haynes, executive secretaries. CHURCH DIRECTORY.

For more than a score of years the Rev. Lewis G. Jordan, D. D., has been the corresponding secretary of the national Baptist foreign mission board, now located in the Ewing building on South Nineteenth street, Philadelphia. Twenty-two years ago Dr. Jordan was a comparatively young man of forty-two. In his position as secretary he has done ten men's work and has done it well. He has won international recognition and favor as a true promoter of missions. The national Baptist convention through the foreign mission board carries on mission work in west, south and central Africa, the West Indies and South America. It publishes a monthly paper, the Mission Herald, which is devoted to foreign missions. The man who has the executive handling of all this work in giving information, raising funds and making plans for the going, coming and assigning workers to the various mission stations is Lewis G. Jordan. At the annual meeting of the national Baptist convention held at Savannah, Ga., the convention adopted the recommendation of the board to send a commission to visit its foreign stations, especially in west Africa. The missionaries assigned to South Africa are the Rev. and Mrs. Herbert A. Payne; West Africa, the Rev. Daniel R. Horton. The above named workers, accompanied by members of the commission, among whom are Corresponding Secretary L. G. Jordan, Dr. C. H. Parrish of Louisville, Ky., and Dr. Elizabeth Sykes, will sail from New York on the steamship St. Louis on Saturday, Jan. 6, 1917. The Rev. and Mrs. Herbert A. Payne will join the Rev. J. E. East, superintendent of missions in the Cape Colony district. Dr. Jordan and the Rev. Mr. Horton will go to the west coast to visit and strengthen the workers in that section and to be present at the dedication of the Emily Sanford hall. Secretary Jordan will also attend the meeting of the Native Baptist association. The Rev. Mr. Horton will remain on the west coast to assist in the work now being carried on by the Misses Taylor and Davis, pioneer workers in that region. The denomination throughout the country should show its loyalty to Christ and these noble hearted men and women who are doing so much for the spread of gospel truth in foreign lands. Every state convention, individual church, person and society should send a contribution to the foreign mission board at 701 South Nineteenth street, Philadelphia, toward the expense of the commission and for the support of the missionaries. The Baptists of New York city and vicinity will be at the dock on the morning of Jan. 6, 1917, to bid the commission and the missionaries bon voyage. FORGET YOUR ACHES.

WESTBROOK AS MEMBER OF COUNTY STAFF. While the Denver Star did not know what Mayor Speer would do in the matter, and while it did know what Dr. Sharpley had done by way of ap- pointing Dr. J. H. P, Westbrook as a member of the county staff of physt- cians at the county hospital, yet we felt well assured that he would reap- point the doctor, despite the fact that there had been changes among the other selections. Mayor Speer has made good by showing that he is real- ly and truly mayor of all the people. After the first of the year we may have reason for greater rejoicing. If our Governor will prove as big a man as our mayor, the Negro can well af. ford to say and know that a friend is a friend, regardless as to his politics. ‘We know what Mayor Speer has done, but we are wondering what our Gov- ernor will do: FATHER BRAY SUCCUMBS AFTER LONG ILLNESS. Father Bray died last Thursday night and was buried Sunday after noon from Shorten’s chapel. Every minister in the city came and paid him the proper respect due that va lient soul. Evanlegist H. Frankliz Bray came to be with his father’s re mains, He was called from Wichita, Kan., where he was holding revival services. From Father Bray every ambitious person could get a word of good cheer and encouragement even in his darkest hour. He seemed will- ing to help everyone and especially every struggling church. His life might not have counted much with some, but to those whom he has helped so willingly and generously when help was needed his life meant much. He has gone, a valiant, true, patriotic soul has gone to commune with its Maker and a vacant place Is made in Denver. The ministers of the city rec- ognized his worth and character and always tried to see that God’s own was properly cared for. Father Bray sleeps; may his ashes rest in peace. THIS MAY MEAN YOU.

More Than Half Century in the Ranks of African Methodist Ministry— Funeral Held From Shorter Chapel — Eulogized by Presiding Elder Pope ‘and > Drover! The translation of Father Nathan L. Bray, @hursday evening, December 7, at the family home, 1146 South Chero. kee street, removed from our midst one of the most picturesque and inter. esting characters of the city. He was born in Wilmington, Ohio, July 23, 1839; converted at the age of 12 years and licensed to preach at the age of 20. Forty-four years ago he married Miss Mary F. Jenkins in Mount Ver- non, Ohio, and from this union six children were born, all of whom sur. vive. Perhaps the most widely known of these is Rev. H. Franklin Bray, D.D., who at one time served as pas tor of Campbell A. M. B. church, this city, and who in recent years has done splendid work in the evangelistic field. Father Bray lived out his three score and ten years, and because of his deep piety and ardent devotion to his Sa- vior, God added seven years more to his life, permitting him to die at 77 years of age. More than half a cen- tury of his life was spent in the Chris. tian ministry, largely in the states of Ohio and Indiana, and at the time of his death he was a superanuated mem- ber of the Indiana annual conference. For a number of years Father Bray was afflicted with asthma, but he ex. ercised great fortitude and patience, and his closing scene was serene and beautiful. ‘The funeral service was held from Shorter chapel Sunday, 2 'p.m., with Rev. R. L. Pope, presiding elder of the Rocky mountain district, officiating, assisted by Revs. Charles A. Williams, D. E. Over, D.D., and G. 8. Sawyer. Brothers F. T. Bruce, George J. Wal- lingford, George C. King, Wesly Lyons, J. A. Waldon and William Obryant were the pallbearers. His remains were laid to rest in Riverside ceme- tery, Cammel undertakers in charge. Mrs. R. L. Pope left Monday after- noon via Burlington for Pensacola, Fla., in answer to a call to the bed- side of her mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Crane, who lies critically ill at her home, 602 Guillemarde street. O. U. Bray of Chicago and Mrs. Edith Settles of St. Paul, Minn., who were called to the city to attend the funeral of their father, returned to their home Thursday, accompanied by their mother, Mrs. N. L. Bray, who will make her future home in the lat- ter city. FOR RENT OR LEASE ON SHARES. 160 acres of land in Dearfield, with two-room house, barn and good well, for rent or lease on shares.

KERR 153 Madison St., Denver JAMES D. CORROTHERS. Author of New Book Entitled “In Spite of the Handicap.” Born In the Chain Lake Settle- ment, Mich. of Scotch-Irish, | Indian and Negro Parentage. Man of Culture and Wide Ex- perience. oa { | a ae a A ay By LILLIAN C. DODSON. “In Spite of the Handicap,” a book written by James D. Corrothers. George H. Doran company, New York, publishers, is an unusual production in many ways. It throws much light on conditions in the south which confront intelligent leaders of the race in thelr contact with their own people. It also contains several pictures of friends and the family of Mr. Corrothers and what one might style a “kodak story of hi life.” He was born in what is known as the “Chain Lake Settlement,” Mich- igan, July 2, 1869. During his easty childhood he suf- fered great privation and\lacked many comforts. He lived with his grandfather, who was of Scotch-Irish and Indian blood and who had no Negro blood except through his marriage. fis grandfather directed all his energies toward James’ education, paying particular attention to his religious training. Soon after he reached his fourteenth birthday {t became necessary for him to leave home on account of his grand- father's feebleness and begin to care for himself. He studied such books as he could Jay his hands on and soon be- came very fond of Burns, Heine, Longfellow, Whittier, Tennyson and Goldsmith.’ While working for a Mr. Phillips of Springfield, O., be was granted the use of bis lbrary, and it was then that bis first poem, entitled “The Deserted Schoolhouse,” appeared in print. The first iines begin: Nestled amid the meadowlands ‘An old achooltiouse forsaken stands. ‘Aareary highway rune before, ete. The people of Springfield about 1885 Were very thrifty and industrious, hay- ing built schools, churches and many beautiful homes. The Cleveland Ga- xette, a weekly newspaper of Spring- field, wrought n potent influence in the fight waged for mixed pubile schools. Through the continued enconragement of members of a Republican club in Springfield Mr. Corrothers kept at his poetry and made several tempts at public speaking. During the time of the Cleveland- Harrison campaign be wrote campaign songs to airs of such old war tunes as “When Jobnnle Comes Marching Home” and had them compiled in pamphlet form in order to sell them, but this undertaking proved unsuccess- ful, chiefly because of poor manage- ment rather than Jack of merit in the Poems. Owing to the kindness and consideration of Mr. Lloyd he secured a position which brought him $10 weekly, a sum which was more than he had ever yet earned in a week. The money thus obtained was used to put him upon his feet again. His work at this office brought him into close rela- ton with Lieutenant Governor Bross, who was willing to help him and stand by bim, but only upon the ground that he was a Negro and therefore an un- developed man fitted only for the most humble things in life. Mr. Corrothers appreciated this kindness, but still did not in his estimation hold Governor Bross’ judgment of him to be a a one. Among the friends who helped him in school was his aunt, with Miss Fran- ces E, Willard, Miss Anna Gordon and Lynching Record In the United States. The National Association For the Advancement of Colored People shows the negligence of officers of the law who fail to carry out thelr sworn duty in protecting persons charged with crime from mob violence. Under the heading “Life, Liberty and the Pur- sult of Happiness,” on our own side of the border, among the colored citi- zens, the association shows that for the past thirty years there have been an average of ninety-two colored per- sons lynched or hanged without the semblance of a trial to prove their in- mocence or guilt.

MOORE WINS LAURELS IN NORTHWEST. Efficiency counts for everything. Politeness is a valuable asset, and a good smiling disposition, with an intelligent head, will greatly win in the hard tasks which hold success prisonbound. With these three keys working at the locks imprisoning Success, it is hard to keep the possessor out of the glory, honor and substantial benefit of her just merits. This was the case of Mme. Gertrude M. Moore, of 137 David street, Casper, Wyo. when she went to Minneapolis, Minn. this summer and made a distinct and indelible impression as a clever and successful demonstrator of the E. Burnham System of Beauty Culture. 1. She was called upon to lecture and explain the hidden mysteries of benefit held so closely by Mother Nature for all those desiring to be beautiful. So impressive and influential was she that one of the leading and largest hotels in that city has caused her to sign a contract to take its beauty parlor in the early spring. This place has been always heretofore filled by a white woman. Until then Casper will enjoy her services as a specialist who has so successfully demonstrated her keen ability as a business woman and artist for more than two years, despite the insignificant jeanbos knocks, or setbacks, used by those less fortunate. She has won herself the title of being a favorite in Casper as well as in Denver. The Denver Star wishes Mme. M. Moore every success possible and may climb to the highest round of fame in her given profession. --- Everyone who loves you, loves to see you smile, loves to see you cheerful and happy all the while. Smiling comes so easy; don't wear a frown; when you feel one coming, just laugh and smile it down, then advertise and take the Denver Star, the paper with real race "pep." If you believe in us, tickle us and make us smile. FUNERAL NOTICES OF CAMMEL & CO. Rev. Nathan L. Bray, one of the oldest ministers of the A. M.

To William Parks goes all the praise for the success of the musicale. The Olinger quartette was a dream, and generally responded to five or six encores. The board of management publicly thanks all of those who took part and made the affair a success.

Talbert of Buffalo is president, is making a herculean effort to raise funds to lift the $15,000 mortgage off of the Douglass home at Anacostia, District of Columbia, and the disgrace off the race for which Mr. Douglass suffered insult and contumely at the hands of organized mobs, for its past neglect, apathy and failure to show its appreciation of the greatness of Frederick Douglass, by coming forward now as he came forward in the days when our forbears writhed in chains of slavery, and denounced in virile language the hell black crime of human slavery. These good women of the National Association of Colored Women have or are about to circularize the teachers and pupils of our Sunday schools and day schools throughout the United States urging co-operation with their association by the formation of Sunday school and day school leagues and that the teachers in the schools become members of these leagues and such adult members of the Sunday schools as may be interested in the project. Ten is the number required to form a league. These teachers and others organizing leagues are requested to offer their leagues as a Christmas present to the National Association of Colored Women. This can be done by sending at once for an application blank and the payment of 10 cents per year per capita. No other dues or assessments are allowed or expected. The money thus sent is to be used for postage, stationery and literature. "to make our voice heard," reads the circular before me. And "surely you will realize with us that we need the very closest cooperation during these days in which we are traveling through the wilderness. Our president has issued a call to save the home of Frederick Douglass. We want you to help us save that home. Will you hold a short memorial service on Sunday, Feb. 13, and tell the children something about Douglass, who framed the immortal sentence, "God and one are a majority?" If you love your race and if you are proud of the achievements of its great men and believe in honoring them for the deeds they have wrought send for a program and other details about Douglass day to Mrs. Mary B. Talbert. 521 Michigan avenue, Buffalo. Mrs. Talbert informs me that Mrs. Nettle L. Napier, 120 Fifteenth avenue, North Nashville, Tenn., has been appointed special treasurer to receive all contributions for this fund. Mrs. Napier is a daughter of the late Hon. John M. Langston and the wife of Hon. James C. Napier, former register of the United States treasury. Another interesting point in her letter is that among the women affiliating with her organization are a group of the most noted white women in the United States, a few of whose names are as follows: Jane Addams, Zona Gale, Grace Abbott, Anna Strunsky Walling, Katherine Leckie, Rhetta Walling, Katherine Leckie, Rhetta Childs Dorr, Miss Fola La Follette, Florence Woolston, Sophronia Breckenridge, Esther L. Kohn, Mary Rozet Smith, Harriet P. Thomas and Anna O'Hagan Shinn. This is a gratifying list and ought to be sufficient to spur our people on in a mighty effort to save the home of Frederick Douglas and to make it the Negro's mecca for generations yet unborn. Every Negro boy throughout this land should be asked to give from 1 to 25 cents as his contribution to this object, and every Negro man and woman with any red blood in their veins ought for their own self respect to give at least $1. There should be a rivalry between the boys and girls of school age to see which can raise the largest subscription toward this fund. I believe our girls could raise $500 more than the boys because they have got more vim and push in them than some of our boys. The contest is on, and time will develop whether we Negroes can do big things in a big way. Douglass was a great leader and a great man, but not ten Negroes in a hundred really know how useful and great he was. We don't read enough about our own leaders. Marine Men Give Brilliant Reception. The reception given by the Marine Cooks and Stewards' Association of the Atlantic and Gulf Coast at Manhattan Casino, New York city, on Thursday evening, Dec. 7, was the big social event of the week among hotel employees. The event was in honor of the delegates in attendance at the twentieth annual convention of the International Scamen's Union of America. The officials in charge were David E. Grange, chairman; Oswald E. Stone, vice chairman; Harry B. Davis, secretary, and David S. Jackson, assistant secretary. AFTER THE CHASE. Stravinsky "You naughty boy! You've torn your clothes again.

Wright, ur. DESCRIBES SOUTHERN TRIP Odde—Colored Children Need te Know Achievements ef Their Race. ‘The week of Dec. 17 to 25 ts national Negro literature week, according to the decree of Dr. R. R. Wright, Jr., ‘editor of the Christian Recorder, Phila- delphia. Dr. Wright has returned from | ‘an extended tour of the south, where he visited many of the schools. In ad- | Gressing the Philadelphia Ministerial association recently he sald: “I am amased at the progress our people are making in the sections I visited in spite of their handicaps. “Much of this progress is due to the splendid devotion and Christian sacri- fice of the teachers of the children of our race.” Continuing, Dr. Wright said: “One of the handicaps of the col- ored child is the lack of inspirational books which tell of his own people and their achievements. Too often the boy fs Kept in ignorance of the splendid achievements of his race, except where the public minded teacher does extra work and puts ‘race books’ in his hands. In many schools I found a fair collection of books telling about the ‘good things of the Negro race. “In many places I found pictures of distinguished Negroes on the walls of the schools. But I am sorry to say that in some places I found not a sin- gle book and not a single picture of a Negro. In one school I found children reading a biography of Thomas Dixon, Ir., the greatest foe of the Negro living, and being taught that the period when, Negroes were members of the state legislature was the period of ‘the wile of the robbers.’ And I asked these children if they had known of a Negro senaior or representative, and they could name none. This impressed upon me the need of putting Negro books in the hands of our children, and hence I have asked the public to co-operate with me in the movement to put Negro books in our private libraries, in schools, in Sunday schools. I have written over 10,000 letters, and I have had pundreds of responses.” ‘The idea of the national movement for Negro books has had the indorse- ment of many of the leading institu- tions of the country. President Dud- ley of the A. and M. college of North Carolina, President Wilkinson of the A. and M. college, South Carolina; President Young of the A. and M. col: lege of Florida, Professor Kelly Miller of Howard university; Presidents In- borden of J. K. Brick college, Scar- borough of Wilberforce university. Fountain of Morris Brown university, Mance of Allen university, Williams of Paul Quinn college, Kealing of West- em university, Moton of Tuskegee; Principals Hunt of Fort Valley Indus- trial and Hill of Cheyney institute, President Wright of the A. and M. college of Georgia and more than a hundred others have expressed thelr hearty approval of the movement. Leading public schoo! teachers, l!bra- rians, authors, musicians and other people of public interest have written Dr. Wright expressing approval and offering co-operation. Editors of many of the leading papers have commented editorially upon the movement— among them the New York News, the New Orleans Southwestern Christian Advocate, the Star of Zion, the Dallas Express, etc. ‘The national book movement is mere- ly, first, @ request for every Negro to buy at least one book by a Negro au- thor or a book by a white author about the Negro as a present to himself this Christmas; second, to purchase a Ne- gro book for a friend or a boy or girl who might not be able to purchase such or inclined to do so if able; third, to encourage the putting of Negro books in public school and Sunday school Ubrartes. To this end every public school, col- lege and university ts asked to observe | Friday nighf, Dec. 15, as Negro litera- ture night, when some one will speak on Negro literature and fands will be ralsed to purchase books for the ll- brary. Sunday, Dec. 17, is Book Sun- day, when every pastor is asked to ‘take @ special collection to purchase books for the Sunday school library. During the week at the Book Con- cern, 681 Pine street, Philadelphia, Dr, Wright will exhibit Negro books, and at each lecture these books will also be exhibited. He has prepared an elabo- rate lst of books of biography, fiction, religion, history, sociology, essays, Ju- venile, ete., and can supply this list to any who desire it. ‘The first order for books which the Book Concern received was for the Spring Street mission, a work con- qucted by Quakers for Nesroes in, Philadelphia, of which Etwood < cock, for many years sceretary of the Pennsylvania Abolition society, is te leading spirit. This order was for ev- ery book on the list which Dr. Wright sent him and amounted to about $200 worth of books. Mr. Heacock gave hearty indorsement to the movement in this tangible way, because he felt that the Negro can never be the man he should until he increases his racial self respect, . ., TOYLAND Is the Center of Attraction for the Kiddies—It’s Far & Y Greater This Year Than Ever Before Every conceivable creation is here in abundance—Animals, Engines, Dolls, Soldiers, Ships, Cannons, Blocks, Carts, Games, Sleds; also Mechanical Toys that will interest the grown-ups as well as the kiddies.

DEATH OF MRS. LEVIE A. LYONS. Mrs. Levie A. Lyons, a former well-known resident of Denver, passed away in this city November 22, at 11 a.m., at her late residence, 2518 Curtis street. Mrs. Lyons had been living in California the past twenty-one years, returning to Colorado in March, 1916, spending four months in Colorado Springs with her daughter, Mrs. Julia Embry. She came to reside in her old home city last July, Mrs. Lyons was energetic, thrifty, cheerful, and made a host of friends. She came to Denver in 1887 from Glasgow, Mo. Her youngest daughter, Mrs. Anna Handy, passed away seventeen months ago in California. Her son, Everett Belts, grandson of Lyons, lives in Kansas City, Mo. Mrs. Lyons was only ill three days. Being very fleshy, fatty degeneration of the heart caused her sudden death. Her only daughter and husband were at her bedside when the end came so peacefully. But a terrible shock to the family and friends. Friday, November 24, at 2 p.m., at Douglas undertaking parlors, the last sad rites were performed. Rev. J. E. Ford of Jacksonville, Fla., her former pastor, officiated, ably assisted by Revs. Ward and Williams of Shorter. The beautiful floral offerings were a mute testimony of the love and esteem in which she was held. The remains were laid to rest in Fairmount cemetery. Automobile cortege.
