The papers formerly known as The Statesman and The Independent, have been merged into The Denver Star Becomes Field Secretary of Advancement Association. MAN OF HIGH DISTINCTION Has Won Fame In Letters and In United States Consular Service—Awarded Prize For Editorial on Recent Election—Contributing Editor of the New York Age. New York.—The National Association For the Advancement of Colored People at the December meeting of the board of directors appointed James Weldon Johnson to the newly created position of field secretary. Mr. Johnson is well known throughout America as contributing editor of the New York Age, as an author of distinction and as prize winner in the recent contest of the Philadelphia Ledger for editorials on "Why Hughes Should Be Elected." His appointment indicates that a consolidation of forces is being effected among colored Americans at the present time and that the substantial unanimity of opinion expressed by the leaders of all schools of thought rep- BION. JAMES A. JOHNSON. resented last summer at the Amenla conference is working out in the direction of a more united front to the common enemies of the race. James Weldon Johnson was born in Jacksonville, Fla., June 17, 1871, where he was educated in the public schools. In 1894 he graduated from Atlanta university with the degree of A. B. He received his master's degree at the same university in 1904. His southern birth and southern training will make it possible for him to work and organize in the south as no northern man could. Mr. Johnson spent three years in graduate work at Columbia university, in this city, and for several years was principal of the high school at Jacksonville. He was admitted to the Florida bar in 1897 and practiced law in Jacksonville until 1901, when he removed to New York to collaborate with his brother, J. Rosamond Johnson, in writing for the light opera stage. He married Grace E. Nall of New York in 1910. He has had an interesting career in the public service. In 1906 he was appointed United States consul at Puerto Cabello, Venezuela, being transferred as consul to Corinto, Nicaragua, in 1909 and to the Azores in 1912. While at Corinto he looked after the interests of his country during the stormy days of the revolution which resulted in the downfall of Zelaya and the abortive revolution against Dias. His knowledge of Spanish has been put to use in the translation of many spanish plays. He was the translator for the English libretto of "Goyescas," the Spanish grand opera produced at the Metropolitan Opera House in 1915, and also has several translations from the French to his credit. But it is as an American author that he is best known. His poems have appeared in the century, the Independent, the Crisis and other magazines, and his novel, "The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man," is one of the most powerful stories ever woven about the theme of race relations. THE NEGRO HAS MUCH AT STAKE Denver Club Women buy $4000 Home—Biggest Undertaking ever taken in Denver. Open Home New Year's Day. Liitle did Mrs. Johnathan R. Contee in whose brain the original idea of a club home for Denver women of color took form nearly twenty years ago, think that in 1916 in less than nine months after the starting of the great and beneficial activity for her sex that more than half would be paid upon the property leaving a balance of $1500 to be paid on the purchase price. Little did the Self Improvement Club which has been fostering and nurturing the Contee idea for many yearsr, know that when they took the initiative in the organization and development of that altruistic body of individual clubs, so combining and uniting themselves that they became one entity thus losing all their individual club identity, that in December they would be in their own little, home. And little did the various clubs of the city made up of women of all walks of life, think that they could work so harmoniously together without having one serious wrangle since the beginning of the Club Association They really have done so well in this past year that it makes a stranger to Denver marvel to know that he will be greeted with a bright "Cheery Happy New Year" in their home January first. The Negro Woman's Club Association of Denver, was composed of seven clubs that organized themselves last March with the object to establish and maintain a girls friendly home and a day nursery. The limit of their capital stock was $5000. They own and now operate their home and nnrsery combined at 24th and Clarkson streets. They bought a large 8 room house partly furnished upon two lots at a cost of $4000 paying $2.500 down and $1,500 payable on or before three years period. Dedicatory exercises will occur January 1st at 3 p. m. and 4 p. m. a public reception and donation party will be held there at which time all lodges, clubs, churches and societies of every nature and kind are invited to attend. The active and energetic officers who have made themselves prominent are Mesdames Amelia Reeves, president, Effie Waldon, Secretary and J..R. Contee, Treasurer, The Negroes of Denver and the State of Colorado are about to learn a demoeratic lesson with its full meaning. Will it be that the State democrats consider messengerships the highest ambition of the Negro of Colorado? Will they ignore our women like the republicans did and for which no excuse nor explanation was ever offered? Here is the chance for the right kind of officials who closely discern. When it comes to helping and benefiting our race, as a true race paper, our race first and politics next. Because of the active and important part we played in the recent state election, we sincerely trust that our women and citizenship standard will bear truly and carefully looked after, in a manner that will show to every one even to the dullest of mankind that "a friend is a friend," democratic or republican and after a fashion that every self-respecting tax-paying citizen can point with pride. The day for Negroes of education, refinement and self-respect to be satisfied with messedgerships, only has passed; yet, we know that good jobs are not seeking out deserving persons and being offered them on a platter. We realize that you must get in the game and take your chances. Likewise has the aspiring Negro a duty upon his shoulders. Can the democrats see their wonderfull opportunity to make lasting friends with such Negroes whose influence count among them and upon whom the race can look with pride? Mr. Johnson is a member of the American Society of Authors and Composers, of the Civic club, New York, and is vice president of the New York branch of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People. Recently he has been on a six weeks' mission throughout the south, representing the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes, in an endeavor to persuade the editors of the leading white newspapers to take an enlightened attitude toward the exodus of Negro labor from that section. Everywhere he was received with the greatest courtey and consideration, and much good is expected to result from his splendid work of representation of the Negro. The Star is just as much of race paper NOW as it was BEFORE election and if this election will not serve to get the best class of Negrees acquainted with the best class of DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, DEC. 30, 1916 LAST HONORS PAID TO JOHN E. BUSH LAST HONORS PAID TO JOHN E. BUSH Death Removes Race Leader at Little Rock. Must Bring Forward the Best in Race. A Democratic Lesson and Its Meaning. WAS ACTIVE IN MANY FIELDS By the recent speedy appointments of Mr. O. T. Jackson, as messenger to the Governor and Mr. Victor B. Walker appointed under Mayor Speer' administration as guard to the Couuty jail, and now promoted to be messenger to Secretary of State, James R. Noland, the Negroes of Denver and the State of Colorado are given to know that the democrats "do', some thing speedily. Mr. Jackson came from Dearfield, the colony of which he is the founder. By his appointment the Star sincerely trusts that neither he nor the democrats will try to mix "politics" with the development of that colony. It would result most unfortunate for the colony. We think that the planting of the colony was one of the greatest and best moves ever made by him and in time this little place will flourish and blossom out to the Negroes' credit in general and O. T. Jackson's in particular. But to attempt to hasten development or influence its growth by and thru politics only means to retard and possibly kill the opportunity. We drop this word of warning now. While we are not in favor of linking them and their future progress to the messengership to the governorship of Colorado we truly say that we know of no one who could fill the messengership as Mr O. T. Jackson. The democrats have given the Negroes two messengerships, that is, have put out two Negroes and put in two of their own faith. The Star seriously asks now since the two messengerships have been disposed of and since recognition has been given to persons whose influence with the white demoerats was such that could land a position, what about the representative Negro chosen by the Negro himself for a representative position? Editor, Public Official and Founder of Thriving Secret Society—Funeral Saw Outpouring of Friends Belonging to Both Races—Tribute to His Memory Was Nation Wide. Little Rock, Ark—The not wholly unexpected death of John E. Bush, who died at his home in this city and buried Dec. 15, removes the heralded leader of the colored people of Arkansas and the wealthiest member of the race in the state. For thirty years Mr. Bush has been a successful and picturesque figure well known throughout the country. His funeral, though held on a bleak December day, amid chilling winds and abounding snow, was one of the largest gatherings ever seen in this section. The First Baptist church, of which he was a member, was packed with white and colored people. The ```markdown ``` Mr. Noland whom the Star opposed at the polls, has made his own choice and selection for which he, alone is responsible. Because the Star, a republican paper believed in certain persons of democratic faith then, (before election) as it still believes now (after election), that the Governor, the State Superintendent of Public Instruction, Mrs. Mary C. Bradford and Attorney-General. Leslie M. Hubbard and the few democratic legislators whom we supported, would give the honest tax-paping representative citizen a representative, we, thru our columns urged their election. We hold that since the Star, thrue influence of either of these named appointees upon it, has done a great service to these elected officials, that some one representative and deserving woman especially should be given a job. Two men have been selected and out of the many Negro women voters, not one Negro woman has been selected thus far. This is not fair to the Negro women voters of this state. We wonder if the newly elected democrats will be BIG enough and broad enough, seeing this opportunity to indelibly show approval of our women's ambitions, as to honor one with a position worthy of an aspiring and intelligent woman. May or Spreer, seeing the opportunity and appreciating his chance to make and cement new friends to himself, gave to representative Negroes representative jobs. THE LATE JOHN E. BUSH. exercises were short and simple, so much unlike state funerals among colored people as to occasion comment. The tribute to his memory was nation wide. Mourners came from distant parts, and hundreds of telegrams, too many to attempt to read, poured in on the family for several days. The floral designs sent were a wilderness of flowers, and as many came from the white people as from colored people. The prettiest design picked by the artist was sent by the city of Little Rock. Mr. Bush did as much for his city as any other citizen here. He knew himself very little of the color line, but he spent his life trying to break it down for his people. The funeral exercises, in charge of P. H. Jordan, grand master, consisted of special music, an invocation by the Rev. A. T. Clark. Scripture reading by white democrats, the Star openly admits that it has made a mistake in its support. Our whole aim and purpose is to get a better and a thorough understauding and working basis between the best class of both raees and then let politics enter after that. We have pinned much hope in our Governor Gunter and we urgently ask that our women be looked after in a manner that the race can point to with pride as in case of Mayor Speer's administration. What the democratic lesson will teach this year, time alone can and must tell. The day of sycophancy, grinning, hat in hand policy is gone. Let us be men among men. Just plain every day men. FIVE CENTS A COPY. THE SAME OLD STORY. Bruce "Grits" Comment on Views of African World. Correspondents. African World Correspondents. Under the caption "The Freemasonry of Race Prejudice" the African World in a recent issue says: "There have been protests in several quarters against the frequency with which black men are seen with white women in London and its environs. * * * The other Sunday at an up river resort a beautiful English girl was seen tangling with a black man to the music of the 'Marselliaise' in ragtime. The double shock to patriotic Englishmen is indescribable, more particularly as a few yards away 500 maled British soldiers were to be seen lying on the sward or hobbling along the lawns, the guests of the Red Cross at a fete. "The curse of miscegenation has already crept, wave on wave, from Cape Town to the confines of Natal. It has outrun legislation and control, and this is wholly due to the depravity of the low white men. To their eternal honor it must be said that white women have kept themselves almost wholly unscolled and free of blame in this terrible matter. * * * Yet the black peril is always beclouding our view of the future. One consolation we have, and that is that nowhere throughout South Africa is it possible to see a white girl walking out with a young colored man." The writer of the article, which is two and a half columns in length, has evidently resided some time in this country at some period of his life and has been inoculated with the microbe. The prejudice against Negroes in Europe is due largely to these migratory birds of passage, who get their systems full of it from contact and association in this country with that type of the genus American who has come to believe that this world was made for Caesar and his queens and that he is Caesar. They go back to Europe, these migratory birds of passage, and spread the virus of the poison they have absorbed, and soon it begins to work. The attitude of the dock laborers in London recently in refusing to permit Negroes to work as longshoremen and dock hands is a straw which shows which way the wind is blowing in a country which Negroes in America and in the British colonies once thought was the anteroom to heaven. Perhaps England will now disband her Negro West Indian regiments if the objection to Negroes by this writer carries. There are lots of button headed people in the world, and they don't all live in America. the Right Rev. J. M. Connor, bishop of the A. M. E. church; the obituary oration by John H. McConico, national auditor of the Mosaic Templars; short address by the Rev. J. P. Robinson, his pastor and friend, and remarks by Roscoe Conkling Simmons on behalf of the National Negro Business league. John E. Bush was born of a slave mother in Moscow, Tenn., about the year 1858. He never knew his father. While an infant, with his mother, he came to Arkansas. He grew up about the city and acquired what he could of figures and letters. He got to be a country and then a city school teacher. He became interested in politics, being ardent as a Republican. He entered the railway mail service in 1875. He resigned seventeen years after and founded the America Guide, which he edited until 1898. By this time his leadership was accepted by all elements in the state of Arkansas. An ardent McKinley man in the preconvention campaign of 1896, he was appointed by President McKinley receiver of the United States land office at Little Rock in 1898. He held that position for sixteen years, covering the administrations of McKinley, Roosevelt and Taft. He was the most popular federal official in Arkansas. Together with the late Chester W. Keatts he founded in 1883 the Mosaic Templars of America, of which he was national grand secretary until his death. He saw it grow from a single lodge to an organization of 80,000 people, with vast holdings and operating in twenty-six states and in distant countries. Its temple in Little Rock, dedicated several years ago by Booker T. Washington, is one of the finest buildings in the state and foremost among buildings owned by any group of the colored race. He was the commanding genius behind the advance of this organization, now, perhaps, the first Negro institution. The wish of his life was gratified when two years ago his national grand lodge met in Tuskegee institute and was welcomed by Principal Washington in person. The Mosaic Templars was the only fraternal order to which the great educator belonged. Church News CAMPBELL CHAPEL AFRICAN M E. CHURCH NOTES. A. M. Ward, Pastor. Sunday school at 9:45 a. m. V. N.

Spratlin, the organist, and Wilfred Brickler, the Clarianettist, played well their part. Prof. Cedal Norris, having identified himself with the choir, proved himself a most invaluable asset to the Bassos. Messrs. Woolridge and W. Martin made themselves felt in the production of the lower tones in Bass score. Miss Susie Rollins and Miss Jennie Harris were very pronounced in the coduct of the first Soprano parts. The candle sermon, the an innovation to the services, was quite unique in its presentation. The Sabbath School, under the superintendency of Mrs. Mattie Wilson, most creditably discharged their quota of the program. The church was tastefully decorated.

There were fifty-four present. Miss Bettina Jackson had arranged an excellent program and it was thoroughly enjoyed by all present. Only young people participated in the program, making it more enjoyable. A special feature was the Girls' Chorus. Due to the stormy weather of Monday, the attendance was not as large as usual. Mrs. Pearl Ross, Miss Grace Cole and Atwell Rose rendered musical numbers. The Girls' Chorus and other members of the High School Girls' Club chaperoned by Mrs. Zipporah Parks and Mrs. Lily Bondurant, serenaded many families on Xmas night. Over thirty were in the crowd. A joint meeting with the Y. M. C. A. will be held next Sunday afternoon. After the meeting tea will be served at the Phyllis Wheatley club. The High School Girls' Club met on Wednesday at the hyPllis Wheatley Club room. The chairmen of the various committees were selected and the remainder of the hour was pleasantly spent in preparing pictures for song books. After a pleasant social hour the club adjourned to meet the second Wednesday in January at the Phyllis Wheatley room. The holidays are affording the boys a chance to get their fill of "pool." Sotme interesting combinations have been played by them during the week and there are more to follow. Theodore Morris, Dave Mayo, Bobby Scott and Robert Jefferson seem to be the champions up to this time. Under the management of William E. Parks, a Christmas Day Program was rendered last Sunday afternoon at four o'clock. Those taking part were Mrs. Florence Smith, who rendered very effectively, "The Death of Cleopatra." Miss Thrashley accompanied her on the piano. Aa solo by Mr. Gatewood also was much enjoyed. He was accompanied by Mr. V. Spratlin. Master Atwell Rose, to the enjoyment of those present, bravely sang a Christmas hymn. Brief talks were made by Dr. DeFrantz and Secretary Bell. Christmas Day was spent in games and songs, and in eating apples and candy. The closing year union public meeting of the Y. M. and Y. W. C. A. will be held next Sunday afternoon at Shorter Church at 3:30 o'clock. Rev. Dr. David Utter, pastor of the First Unitarian Church, will speak on the subject, "If I were a Negro." It is hoped that a very large attendance will be secured to hear this notable speaker and to take part in the services. The boys will meet with them, and special selections will be rendered by the boys' band. Everybody will be welcome.

FIFTEENTH ANNIVERSARY OF THE BOSTON GUARDIAN Many Notable Speakers Applaud Work of Editor W. M. Trotter. Boston.—The monster celebration of the fifteenth anniversary of the Boston Guardian, held at Zion church, in this city, recently, breathed with the spirit of loyalty to the Guardian and the principles it stands for, "For every right with all our might." The occasion was a veritable love feast for the interested friends who have fought the race battles for equality of rights and against the wrongs of segregation and discrimination, jimcrow cars and all other race discriminations wherever found, without compromise and without fear. The speakers recalled many of the stirring scenes of the past fifteen years, each one recording a memorable battle or a memorable victory for the cause of equality of citizenship and affirming those policies and principles of action on the part of the members of the race brotherhood everywhere which would give assurance of the strengthening and securing of the rights we now enjoy and carry us forward in the line of conquest of other privileges and liberties until full equality of privilege and opportunity shall be accorded to every member of the race in every part of this broad land. Among the speakers were Dr. C. P. Russell, W. Hall Jackson, Miss Eliza Gardner, Rev. A. W. Puller, Rev. M. W. Thornton, Rev. W. D. Brigham, Dr. Alice McKane, G. R. Margetson, Rev. H. W. Swain, Hon. Moorfield Storey, Dr. W. A. Sinclair of Philadelphia, J. S. Gains, Hon. W. H. Lewis, Emery T. Morris, Miss Elizabeth C. Putnam, C. H. Seales, Esq., A. A. Perry and W. M. Trotter. The dramatic moment came when Chairman Russell introduced Hon. William H. Lewis, former assistant attorney general of the United States, one of the chief objects of the Guardian's attacks for some years. He was given great applause and spoke very impressively and eloquently, saying that he was glad to come into the church in which he presided at a meeting where Mr. Trotter took issue with a former race leader. He spoke of the beginnings, when he was present at the wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Trotter in their beautiful home on the hill and paid Mrs. Trotter a delicate compliment. He spoke of working with Trotter against "The Birth of a Nation" and pledge co-operation. The spenser in calm retrospect recited many of the stirring scenes and events when the Guardian and its faithful friends in Boston were making race history, such as the founding of the paper by its present editor, William M. Trotter and others, the controversy with Booker T. Washington at Zion church, when Editor Trotter was arrested and sent to jail; the fight against the photo play "Birth of a Nation," the celebrated Bossfield case, etc. But by far the most interesting and important feature of this celebration was the coming together of the several opposing factions of Boston's colored citizens, who had been split asunder and fighting for the several conflicting issues that had been raised among them. Here in this celebration the big chiefs buried the hatchet and smoked together the pipe of peace, and now the spirit of good fellowship once more reigns supreme. With a united front and unbroken ranks they once more turn to renew the warfare against race discrimination, segregation and lynching. This fact is prophetic of a brightening future. This is the springtime of the race's hopes in America, and the Guardian must plant the seeds of hope in the heart of every reader and water them with words of wisdom and the inspiration of lofty ideals of citizenship full and complete. Nothing less is the goal to be striven for. May it carry high the watchword inscribed on its banner. "For every right with all our might." ATLANTA UNIVERSITY FUND. Noted Southern School Starts Campaign to Raise $500,000 Endowment. Atlanta university will be aided by many organizations and heads of notable educational institutions in the campaign recently started to raise $500,000 toward its endowment fund in honor of its fiftieth anniversary, which occurs in 1917. The university is an open door of opportunity, a college, normal school and high school for the preparation of young men and women of our race for greater usefulness. The financial campaign is indorsed by Charles W. Ellot, president emeritus of Harvard; Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia; P. P.

Fearing that a shortage of labor for the 1917 cotton and tobacco crops may result from the large numbers of colored people which have left the south the past eight months of 1916, an effort is being made to stop the exodus of southern laborers going north. At Atlanta, Ga., both white and colored leaders held a series of mass meetings the early part of December in an effort to check the movement.

TUSKEGEE'S WORTHY APPEAL Principal Meton'ts Effort to Spread Children in Schools Among Children Christmas Cheer Among Children. The following letter of appeal, issued from the Tuskegee (Ala.) institute by Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal, is a worthy one, to which, it is hoped, many will respond liberally. Dr. Moton says: "The late Dr. Booker T. Washington, founder of the Tuskegee institute, year by year appealed to generous friends for Christmas remembrances of one kind and another to be distributed through him to the colored children of the south, who without such Christmas remembrances would have nothing to remind them of the Christmas season. "Floods, the boll weevil and industrial conditions generally among the farming classes have brought about a rather depressing state of affairs. Many people are in actual distress and want, while in hundreds and thousands of homes there will be little to indicate that Christmas is a time of joy and blessing. Anything whatsoever, no matter how inexpensive, will brighten a situation otherwise largely unrelieved by any cheering ray. "I shall be glad to serve as did Dr. Washington—that is, to act as the intermediary through whom the public may transmit their gifts to these children and to take pains to see that they reach those who are worthy, distributing them over as wide a section of the south as possible through Tuskegee off-shoot schools, graduates, former students, Jeanes fund workers, etc. Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, Decem ber, 1918.

Question of Slavery Split Denomination Seventy-two Years Ago—Prominent Leaders of Both Races Are Members of Commission Called to Convene In Baltimore on Dec. 28. By HORACE D. SLATTER. Asheville, N. C.-The joint commission of the Methodist Episcopal church and the Methodist Episcopal Church South will meet in Baltimore Dec. 28 to bring about if possible the union of these two great branches of Methodism. This merger, discussed pro and con with varied warmth and emotions during the past twenty years, has been rendered probable by legislative action of the general conferences of the two churches. Just what effect the union of these churches will have upon the more than 850,000 Negro communicants of the Methodist Episcopal church is problematical and is attracting considerable attention among thoughtful people of the race as the time for the commission meeting approaches. The original one body of Methodists suffered division in 1844 over the fact that a white bishop became involved in slavery by marrying a wife who had one Negro girl named Kitty as a slave. Thus seventy-two years ago the white people in the Methodist Episcopal church, north and south, parted company, with the Negro as the innocent occasion of the division. Now that the reunion of these two branches of Methodism is imminent the relation of the Negro to the reunited church is one of the innocent causes involved. Upon the commission representing the Methodist Episcopal church are two prominent men of the race, Dr. Robert E. Jones, editor of the Southwestern Christian Advocate, New Orleans, La., and Dr. I. Garland Penn, corresponding secretary of the Freedmen's Aid society, Cincinnati. Drs. Jones and Penn represent the ministry and laity respectively upon the commission, but beyond that they are the sole representatives of the 350,000 Negroes in the Methodist Episcopal church, whose fortunes in a large measure are to be effected by the final conclusions of the commission. It is quite the understanding that these distinguished Negro leaders were placed upon the commission in order that the interests of the Negro members should be safeguarded. The assignment is an important and responsible one, for there has been no such historic commission touching the religious and educational life of the nation since emancipation. Holding briefs for the 350,000 Negro members, they stand unique and alone and yet hold their commissions from members who are organically a part of one of the great churches and who, in theory, should not be considered apart from the other members. Both the Methodist Episcopal church and the Methodist Episcopal Church South subscribe to a plan of unification by reorganization, in which each, it is supposed, will lose its identity in the unified church. Both have stated their positions as to the Negro. The southern church prefers that the 850-000 Negroes in the Methodist Episcopal church shall be organized into a separate and independent body, holding only fraternal relations to the unified white body, if such union should be accomplished. The Methodist Episcopal church at its general conference in Saratoga last May stated its position as follows: That the Negro should be a part of the reunited church, with representation general conference, and support- ed its position by naming these two colored men on its commission to meet the white commission from the Methodist Episcopal Church South. The members of the commission are: Methodist Episcopal church — Bishops William Frazer McDowell, Earl Cranston and John W. Hamilton of Washington; Frederick D. Leete, Atlanta; R. J. Cooke, Helena, Mont, Ministers—Edgar Blake, D. D., Chicago, secretary board of Sunday schools; J. R. Day, D. D., president Syracuse university, Syracuse; R. J. Cooke, D. D., D. D., editor, New York city; John D. Goucher, D. D., Baltimore; Robert E. Jones, editor Southwestern Christian Advocate, New Orleans; A. J. Nast, D. D., editor Der Christliche Apologe, Cincinnati; Frank Neff, pastor First church, Oklahoma, Okla.; E. M. Randall, Seattle, Wash., pastor Gilman Park church; C. B. Spenser, D. D., Kansas City, editor Christian Advocate; J. W. Van Cleve, Chicago, executive secretary commission of fire, St. Louis; C. W. Kline, St. Louis, shoe manufacturer; C. W. Fairbanks, Indianapolis, Ind., former vice president of the United States; A. W. Harris, New York city, corresponding secretary board of education; C. W. Kline, Jacksonville, Fla., real estate; I. G. Garland Penn, Cincinnati, corresponding secretary Freedman's Ald society; I. E. Robinson, Charleston, W. Va., ex-chef justice court of appeals of West Virginia; Henry Pruse, new Haven, Comm. Judge Dugan, district court art, William Rule, Knoxville, Tenn., editor Knoxville Journal and Tribune; Alexander Simpson, Philadelphia, lawyer; Rolla V.

Candler, Atlanta, Ga. Ministers--Frank M. Thomas, D. D., Louisville, Ky.; W. J. Young, D. D., Candler School of the Theology, Atlanta, Ga.; John M. Moore, D. D., secretary home missions, Nashville, Tean.; C. M. Bishop, D. D., president Southwestern university, Georgetown, Tex.; E. B. Chappelle, D. D., editor Sunday School Literature, Nashville, Tenn.; T. N. Ivey, D., D., editor Christian Advocate, Nashville, Tenn.; A. F. Watkins, D. D., president Millsap college, Jackson, Miss.; H. M. DuBose, D. D., editor Methodist Review, Nashville, Tenn.; H. N. Alnaworth, D. D., Macon, Ga.; A. J. Lamar, D. D., publishing agent, Nashville, Tenn. Laymen-Judge L. W. Walton, Woodstock Va.; Dr. H. N. Snyder, Spartanburg, S. C., president Wofford college; Percy D. Madin, lawyer, Nashville, Tenn.; Dr. R. S Hyer, president Southern Methodist university, Dumas, Tex.; Dr. J. R. Reynolds, attorney, Nashville, Tenn.; R. E Blackwell, Ashland, Va., president Randolph-Macon college; Judge J. L. Kelley, supreme court of Virginia, Bristol; T. D. Sanford, United States district attorney, Opelika, Ala.; John R. Pepper, merchant and banker, Memphis, Tenn.; Colonel E. C. Reeves, lawyer, Johnson City, Tenn. It will be seen that Drs. Jones and Penn are in distinguished company. However momentous the situation confronting them, the affairs of the people they represent are in capable hands. No church in which there are colored people ever recognized the race in such a conspicuous way, but these men are well worth it, and there is no question but that they will measure up to every demand. Dr. Jones is regarded as one of the ablest editors in the church and has been re-elected four quadrenniums, having been unanimously chosen at the Saratoga General Conference. Dr. Penn was for seventeen years assistant general secretary of the Epworth league and is now serving his second term of four years as corresponding secretary of the Freedman's Aid society. It is safe to say that the interest of the Negro in the Methodist Episcopal church will be carefully safeguarded by these two distinguished sons of the race and of Methodism Christmas Cheer For Poor Children.

The Christmas exercises this year at Zion surpaces in beauty and interest anything the church has ever known, the "White Gifts" service reaching a climax far beyond the expectation of any of those who were responsible for carrying out the plans. The decorations were more beautiful, the program was interesting, and the response of the congregation in its offering was as overwhelming as it was generous. Packages and bundles containing food and clothing were piled high about the cross, while the total offerings in money amounted to $122.39. At the least calculation $150 would not cover the value of the gifts presented to the Lord's poor. Naturally the congregation and pastor were jubilant at this beautiful result. At six o'clock Christmas morning a grandid congregation of worshippersathered to honor the birth of the Savior. The pastor gave a messagewhich reached the hearts. The people having generously responded tothe calls of the needy, with glowinghearts returned to their homes toenjoy the season's bounty in Christmasgratitude. PEACEFULLY PASSED AWAY. Mother of Dr. R. S. Grant of Colorado Springs. Mrs. Esther E. Grant of 2345 Ogden St., died Dec. 26th at 6:20 p.m., at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. Birdle A. Brooks. Mrs. Grant, deceased, was a devout Christian and had been a member of the Presbyterian church since early womanhood. Never has any sweeter life left after it a more tender devotion to her family, her many friends, her church and her God, than was exemplified in the life actions of Mrs. Grant. About 12 years ago her husband, Lorenzo D. Grant, died in Nashville, Tenn., and soon afterwards, when her son, Dr. R. S. Grant, married, she came to Colorado Springs to make her home with him. At the time of her death she was visiting her daughter, Mrs. Geo H. Brooks. She leaves to mourn her loss, two sons, Dr. R. S. Grant of Colorado Springs and Edward U. Grant of Dyerburg, Tenn., and three daughters, Mesdames Fonda F. Reynolds of Colorado Springs and George H. Brooks, Denver, also Miss Josephine Grant of this city. Her body laid in state at the Cammel's Undertaking Parlors for two days in order to allow her friends to view the remains, after which Dr. Grant accompanied them to Nashville, Tenn., for interment alongside of her husband. The Star extends its deepest sympathy in behalf of the Denver community, to the relatives on the account of their great loss of their mother. Mrs. J. J.

AKARD, 616 TEMPLETON BLDG., SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH. 2745 Welton Street The offerings to the General Fund for the last few Sundays indicate that there are very few who intend to close the year with their pledges unpaid. This has been the best year, financially, which Zion has enjoyed for several years past. Last Sunday the offerings to the General and Building Funds amounted to $115.71; this, with the amounts given to Missions and Community Relief totalled $245.61 for the day. Next Sunday the Every Member Canvass Committee will visit the membership to secure pledges for 1917. It is hoped that members as far as possible will remain at home so as to enable the committee to finish the work in as short a time as possible. THE SUNDAY SCHOOL. Our Sunday School is very much awake these days. The work of grading has been completed and the departments organized. We expect the coming year to be the banner year from many points of view. Zion's it the only school in this section which has adopted the Graded Lessons in Sunday School study. This means that the lesson material is so graded as to be suited to the age and needs of the pupil. Under graduate teachers our children receive the best. [Image of a man in a suit and tie].

In order that an opportunity may be given to able young men and women who desire to devote their time to social service, but who lack training, the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes provides two classes of fellowship, as follows: Fellowships of $50 per month for eight months from about Oct. 15 to about June 15, being necessary living expenses in New York. In addition a loan of $100 in the form of tuition is made by the New York School of Philanthropy upon recommendation. It is to be repaid when the student is subsequently engaged on salary by some organization. Fellowships of $150, being approximately necessary living expenses at Nashville, Tenn., and tuition at Fisk university. These fellowships are open to those who have made a definite decision to engage in social work of some form approved by the executive board of the league. Such work includes secretaryships of betterment organizations, recreation and playground supervisors, superintendents of charitable institutions, probation officers and similar service. The fellows in New York city take their courses of study at the New York School of Philanthropy, with the privilege of some courses at Columbia university, and obtain their practical experience by two months in the Charity Organization society of New York and through social service work under the supervision of the National Urban league and in connection with several other agencies in the city of New York. The fellows in Nashville take their courses of study at Fisk university and get their practical experience through the activities of Bethlehem House, a settlement operated jointly by the National Urban league. Fisk university and the Woman's Missionary Council, M. E. Church South, and in the work of the Public Welfare league and other organizations of the city of Nashville. Persons who make application for these fellowships will be required to pass a preliminary examination. This examination will be of a general nature and designed to test the applicant's general education and knowledge. It will be based upon entrance examinations given in past years by the New York School of Philanthropy since successful applicants will have to pass an entrance examination. The candidate must also be successful in passing the entrance examination at the School of Philanthropy; otherwise no payment on fellowship will be made. This entrance examination in some cases may take the place of the preliminary examination. A candidate to be eligible must be a citizen of the United States, have passed his or her twenty-first birthday by the 1st of September in the year following the one in which application is made. The candidate must be able to present a doctor's certificate of sound health, declare his or her intention to engage in some social work approved by the league and must have completed a course in a college of good standing or its equivalent. In making its decision the league will take into account the candidate's previous school work, general personality, capacity for executive duties and for leadership, general intelligence on current affairs, ability in knowledge of and fondness for outdoor sports and recreation. Applications for 1917-18 must be received on or before March 1, 1917. No payment is made on fellowships unless the candidate is successful in passing the entrance examination at the School of Philanthropy. Any one interested should write for an application blank to Dr. George E. Haynes, National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes, 2303 Seventh avenue, New York city, or Fisk university, Nashville, Tenn. FIXING STATUS OF RACES. Kentucky's Task of Distinguishing White Colored People From Caucasian. The following news item in the New York World, dated Louisville, Ky., Dec. 14, relates to the relations between the races. The dispatch, according to the World, says: "Our grandchildren and great-grandchildren will be marrying persons having Negro blood in their veins unless Negro births are registered with greater care," said W. L. Heiser, state registrar of vital statistics, before a meeting of Kentucky city and county health officers here. "Numbers of quadroons," said Mr. Heiser, "cannot be distinguished from white persons, and the resultant conditions are a real peril to Kentucky." He urged a national system of compulsory registration of vital statistics. Local registrars, he said, should for the protection of future white generations observe the greatest care in accurately fixing the racial status of children when registered. Success of a Richmond (Va.) Society. The National Ideal Benefit Society of Richmond, Va., Dr. A. W. Holmes, president, has made great progress during the year in all departments of its work. It will enter the new year, 1917, with a large increase in its membership and a sound financial policy. The success of the society is largely due to the fact that it keeps its pledge to the members and pays its bills. The Rev. Dr. W. T. Johnson, pastor of the First Baptist church, Richmond, is one of the directors and a leading spirit in the membership. POLLARD GREATEST HALFBACK Brown University Player Has Wonderful Record on Gridiron This Season. When the 1916 football season has drifted into the easily dimmed and more easily forgotten past of sporting events; when things that are still unread from Time's unturned pages and football heroes of the past have had the nebulous haze of glory which encircles them dimmed a little more; even after managers of the various football teams shall have been terribly mangled in the terrible crush to claim championships the present year will not be devoid of its gridiron stars. But from among the vast horde of men who have chased the pigskin on gridirons from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast and from the gulf of Mexico to the great lakes there is one young athlete who must be hailed as the peer of any of the men who now occupy niches in the football hall of fame. Fred D. Pollard, a dusky skinned young American, halfback on the Brown team and particularly bright luminary of the Brumonian eleven, is the man. Practically single handed the young colored boy has beaten Yale and Harvard on successive afternoons on their own fields. He has been the backbone of the hammering attack which has brought Brown through a tough season with an unbroken string of victories. He plays football because he likes it, and his quiet department, grit and stamina, coupled with his remarkable ability, have forced crowds at both New Haven and Cambridge, sorrowful in defeat, to stand up and acclaim him as he left the field. Pollard is now in his second year at Brown, having matriculated there last year from Lane Technical high 1930 FRED D. POLLARD. school, Chicago. It is said that before entering Brown Pollard went up and looked around Dartmouth, where his brother had played football some years ago. His mind was not made up on what school he would attend, although he had decided that it would be either Dartmouth or Brown. He finally decided on Brown, much to the sorrow of Yale and Harvard men, not to mention the sons of various other colleges. There is no hint that Pollard came to Brown through any persuasion because of his athletic ability, and this is said because sometimes there have been hints of proselytizing in the case of other star athletes. Sure enough he played scholastic football, and played well, for three years while a student in Lane Tech, but he was not an outstanding star. He came to Brown unknown and made no talk of even trying for the football team. As a matter of fact, none of the coaches or men interested in football up at the Providence university knew that the quiet young colored boy knew anything about football. They did know that in his spare time he used to come out and watch the practice; but, then, pretty nearly every other student does the same thing. The first inkling the coaches had that he knew anything about the game was last year, a month after the practice season had started. One day Pollard came out to the field and asked the head coach if he might don a uniform and come out for practice. The coach asked Pollard if he had ever played the game, and Pollard told of his high school experience. As a result Pollard came out that day and every day thereafter and finished the season as one of the stars of the team. It is not all football and hurrah for Pollard. With him it is a case of dropping the flatiron to be dropped on the gridiron. You see, Pollard is working his way through college and earns the money for his expenses by running a little tailor shop. The work keeps him pretty busy, and now he has another colored student helping him. Of course it may be that his business has grown through his prowess as a football player, for who would not have his trousers prepared by a man who in a week's time can press both Yale and Harvard into the flatness of defeat? Dr. S. N. Vass at Conference. The Rev. Dr. S. N. Vass of Raleigh, N. C., who for over twenty years has conducted Bible institutes in all sections of the country, was one of the chief speakers at the conference on education held at the National Training school, Durham, N.
