Start the New Year Right--Advertise in the Greatest Negro Journal in the West Lebanon, Ill., Dec. 29. Young Turner, a former slave, who was reputed to be the weftiest member of the Race in southern Illinois, and who died two months ago, left $47,400 in his will, according to the inventory filed in Belleville by his executors Turner came to St. Clair county without a penny in 1864. Aged Negro Dies at 117. Yazoo City, Miss., Dec. 14. The oldest resident of Missisippi died last week near Belzoni. He was John Davis, a Negro, 117 years old. Davis was born in Richmond Va., in 1799, and came to this section in 1828. He loved to tell "Ole Virginy." He was trustworthy an esteemed by the white people. He was the father of 12 children, seven of whom are living. If as a result of the vast at trition of the European armies, the British forces should suffer for lack of men, undoubtedly the great reserves of black and brown men in South Africa, India, Egypt and other southern parts of the empire would be utilfzed. Many British members of Parliament are now urging the recruiting of blacks for fighting. A resolution was passed a couple of weeks ago to this effect by a group of members. The splendid fighting qualities of the Soudanese and other African tribes, such as Zulus, have never been doubted. The French have generously used black troops from their African colonies, and the Germans feared them. If there were a wide call to natives of India and British African pos sessions for service the status of the Colored races of the Empire would be materially altered and their preponderat ing millions would be attached to the flag. Unquestionably, if the need arises, Britain will not hesitate to call for help from that quarter, though before it does arise the United Kingdom and the Dominions must put into play available strength. Coleridge-Taylor's "Dawn" was one of the English songs that was given the distinction of repetition when sung by Mme. Alma Gluck, the noted American soprano, at her recital in The Auditorium at Minneapolis, Minnesota, late in October. Mr. Raymond J. Knox, a colored railway clerk running between Kansas City, Missouri, and Omaha, Nebraska has made his third consecutive 100 per cent examination of states by routes. The Denver Star ESTABLISHED 1888 What of the Future? ASKS THE FREEMAN If one studies carefully, the unfolding of the years, and as it concerns what they have had in store for the Negroes of America, he will discover more than one developing line of progression, some of which may be non-progression as we may view it. Development is merely that, and does not necessarily mean progression in the preferred directions. The observer, if at all thoughtful, will view with some alarm what, in part, the future seems to have reserved for the Negroes, while on the other hand there is reason for gratulation that some things are developing as they should, regardless of the views of the thoughtless men. On Friday, January 26, a conference on Negro migration will be held at the Russell Sage Foundation Building, 22d street and Lexington avenue, under the auspices of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes. This conference is to be national in character and will consist of two sessions, one in the afternoon and one in the evening. At the conference will be representatives of national organizations thru out the country, including churches, welfare movements and schools. The purpose of the conference is to bring before the leaders of the various communities into which the Negroes are migrating the importance of aiding them to adjust themselves to their new environment so that when the war ceases and immigration increases, the Negroes may be well entrenched in their positions of their adopted homes. Some of those who are expected to be present and contribute to the success of the meeting are Dr. R. R. Moton John Hope, presidsnt of Morehouse College; J. E. Moreland. national secretary Y. M. C. A.; John Mitchell of the State Federation of Women's Clubs; Dr. George E. Hayes of the National League on Urban Conditions, and Mrs. S. W. Layten, secretary of the Philadelphia Association for the Protection of Colored Women. L. Hollinworth Wood, president of the National Urban League will preside. The sessions will be open to the public and all persons who are interested in this question are invited to attend. $42,000 Verdict For Memphis, Tenn.—Upholding the doctrine that "a man's home is his castle and he has a right to defend it," which Judge John E. McCall emphasized in his charge, a jury in Federal Court here has awarded to Matthew Harris, a Negro, $22,500 compensatory and $20,000 punitive damages in his suit against John A. Reichman, former sheriff of Shelby County, and members of a sheriff's posse. The United States, in spite of all that is said, is the best field for Negro endeavor. The development of indifference means a corresponding possibility of manhood owing to that indifference. It is not known to us just what were the qualities or exertions that gained greater respect for former lowly men; this however whatever they may have been they did not have a serious race handicap. Whatever the Negroes may do they will find thrown in the scale their nationality to weigh against them. But there is such a thing as making a super-human effort to be men, and until that day has come and gone we have no downright reason for cursing our fate or the land of our birth. The Negroes are not expending the resources on hand. Harris, who sued for $100,000 was seriously hurt when his home was dynamited in an attempt to dislodge him after he had fired on the posse which was searching for one of his relatives. Harris testified that he didn't know the identity of the possemen. AMERICAN WOODMEN GIVES GOLD AWAY! Are these hard times? You will make them easy by hustling for the American Woodmen.

DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JAN. 6, 1917 Our case is practically in our own hands. That thing is developing, and we find that we are more helped in trying to win our case than impeded by the white people. They are not helping us to draw nigh to the socially, they are helping us to battle it out among ourselves. That thing is also developing. It is finally beginning to dawn on those who would run away from the race because they are able to do so, that they like the popcorn in the popper must stay-pent up until the "colonels" or the kernels have all come through. This leads to thing of individualism rather than the race: the question then arises: Why should one be held back if he can fly away. That old Persian, Omae Khayyman, had it: Developing as they should is an arbitrary proposition, and we mean it that way. It is not given every man the knowledge of what is best for him. Every man, especially of a race so peculiarly placed as ours cannot dictate the best terms for race progression. The careful observer will discover that the Negroes are meeting more indifference yearly. This indifference is not accompanied by increased hate—of that kind displayed lowly peoples in some foreign lands, and where the question of bread, and that of personal liberty were, and are, the ruling ones. It is an indifference that is shared of the patronizing attitude of the years when the Negroes were more the objects of sympathy than they are now—that's all yet; it is the thing that is thoroughly disliked, and rightfully as it concerns limited observations, and which, yet may be the making of the race. "Why if the soul can fling the dust, And aside, naked on the air of heaven ride, Were't not a shame, were't not a shame for him, In this clay carcass to a bide?" It is true that the indifference is sometimes actuated or emphasized by ways that seem ugly and mean. The tendency in these days is to shut Negroes out of places that have any of the social aspect. This is not liked because it means a discounted citizenship. But there can scarcely be a civil condition without some value. This is especially true as it concerns the Negroes. For instance, Negroes are leaving the South, perhaps, not nearly so many as reported, but they are leaving, and at the same time it is known that the oppor tunities in that section are greater for some things than the north. The very hard condition of the south has been the opportunity for many men—hundreds of thousands of satisfied men, who are much better prepared to desert the section than those who are found coming away. Some may think it strange that a Negro journal would be found advising that the Negroes to make the best of it where they are. We are advising the stability of the race: hence the country. Neith er their stability or that of the country is to be entrusted to incendiary minded person, or those who do not give a rap as to what follows, or to the blatant mouthed ignorant who sees nothing beyond his own horizon, or beyond the present moment. So they think, nor or we inclined to quarrel with those who escape the tests. We do not know that we are our brother's keepers to that extent. We contend for the right of the individual to be all he can be under the laws and conventions of society However, the Negroes who cannot escape are due consideration. They must be saved against themselves, for as we said in the beginning it is not given the ignorant or the thoughtless to advise as it concerns the best methods of the progress of a numerous people. Some say, 'hands off,' the object being to permit time to care for what it produces. Time is essential, but while we wait there must be work. The accumulation of moneys and property will be well nigh a useless occupation if they depreciate in value because of race holding. We have much more to consider than our trifling civil infirmities. We say trifling in view of the world-wide histories of lowly peoples. And in viewing the conditions af races similar that have struggled upward the premium goes to our race as the most favorably environed of all that have gone before. White men have worn collars locked on them like those of dogs, having their owner's name branded on them. Saxon was slave to Saxon, and both, he and his slave, were bondmen to the Normans, in a manner. The emancipation was more complete, it is true enough, and because of the white blood, which claimed a common supremacy, and which would not be stilled until enthroned. The Negroes must ever bear in mind that races like families have exerted them selves to be in the lead, to be first. It's a poor individual that does not think himself better than someone else. Races of men are the same way, and the Negroes may as well accept the theory, and thus be governed, and try some expedients to pull further up in the world. Their case is without parallel. There has been similarity, but nothing identical. We are absolutely without guide or compass, consequently nothing but the best thought of the best disposed persons are worthy to be cast among the opinions and sentiments of the future. Citizenship will be as sound ing brass and a tinkling cymbal if it means restricted priv ileges and thus earning every other man's contempt. Those are the things that must be thought about in the future for the future. FIVE CENTS A COPY. LOVINGGOOD DEAD AT SAML. HUSTON SCHOOL Austin, Texas.—After a week's illness, Dr. H. S. Lovinggood, president of Samuel Huston College, died Sunday night, December 17, at his home in this city He has suffered from Bright's disease for the past two years, having a breakdown at that time while lecturing in Iowa. However, he stuck to his post of duty and was in actual direction of the work of the college until compelled to take to his bed a week ago. He was born in Walhalla, S. C. in 1864, graduated from Clark University, Atlanta, Ga. After completing the college course he took a course in carpentry.

After teaching at Wiley University, Marshall, Texas, for five years he was selected in 1900 as president of Samuel Huston College. He was its first president and the school developed under his administration into one of the strongest in the country. He was married twice, being survived by the second wife and her five Ildren, and one child, issue of the first marriage. The funeral services were conducted at Wesley Chapel M. E. Church, interment in Oakwood cemetery, the funeral arrangements being in the hands of two under taking firms, Rhambo & Woodard and Wm. Tears. J. W. Frazier will serve as acting president of the college until the Freedmen's Aid Bureau at Cincinnati names a scccessor. A mob of over one hundred white citizens in Jackson, Tennessee, started toward the home of Walter Elkins, a Negro, to lynch him for having struck a white fellow work man over the head with an iron bar, at the Illinois Central shops. Negro citizens armed themselves and went to the home of Elkins. The mob has not yet arrived. IN GIVES GOLD AWAY!

THE ZION BAPTIST CHURCH, 24th Avenue and Ogden. David E. Over, D. D., Minister. Telephones, York 6007, York 9377. Last Sunday was a remarkable day for Zion in that it brought to a fitting close one of the most prosperous years the church has known. The year 1916 was notable with us for a number of activities which were carried out successfully and on a more elaborate and extensive scale than anything ever attempted by the Church, which has put Zion in a most enviable position in this community. Among these the thoro reorganization of our Sunday school with the adoption of Graded Lessons is a step the importance of which may be only realized in after years. Our Golden Jubilee gave conclusive evidence of the high water mark which the Church has attained. Early in the month of November, looking forward to the opportunities of the coming year, the Church determined a budget of expenses for 1917 totalling close to $5,000,000. An every-member canvass committee was organized and prepared to secure subscriptions to cover the obligation. This committee went forth to the membership last Sunday and its report at the evening service indicated that the amount sought will be over-subscribed when the entire congregation is covered. The pastor preached at the morning service on "stewardship." At the close of the service the committee numbering forty persons, was intro- P. W. COLEMAN, Secy. B. J. CATLITT, Supt. duced to the congregation. A closing prayer invoked the Divine blessing up its mission, when, after a splendid dinner, which was prepared and served at the Church, this enthusiastic group was committed to its task. The response of the membership showed its entire sympathy and co-operation. At the evening service the Rev. Henderson gave an interesting and helpful sermon upon "The Use of Talents. After an hour's recess a very impressive watch-night service was held. Two persons, Bro. C. L. Jackson and Sister Pearl Wells, were added to the membership. Next week, beginning Monday night, a week of prayer will be observed. From Tuesday night to the close of the week the pastor will give a series of lessons on the "Coming of Christ." It will be helpful to search the Word to find God's message concerning this glorious event. Among the sick this week are included Bro, and Sister Gwynne, Bro, Matt Myrry, Sister Vergie Gash, Sister Callin Nichols, Sister Hattie Brown, Sister Anna Madison, Sister McKenzie, Sister Brannon and Sister Pierce. 7:00 a. m.-Celebration of The Holy Eucharist. 9:45 a. m.-Sunday School. 11:15 a. m.-Choral Solemn Eucharist, with Sermon, subject, "The Vision of The Star."

The program last Sabbath evening was all that one might desire in the musical line. The contributions of Profs. G. Morrison, C. Norris, Mesdames L. Madison and M. Morrison and Miss Mabel Cole were pronouncedly delightful. The Rev. A. E. Reynolds and wife were among the worshippers at this service. Brother Reynolds brought us very helpful and timely remarks. The Communion of the Lord's Supper being the first for the New Year, all members eligible for its reception are enjoined to partake of the same. The Pre-Communion sermon will be our New Year's message to the church. Everybody is cordially invited. The engagements of the Christmas and New Year, having become events of the past, the pastor welcomes the consideration of the lovers of good music of the community and especially those who believe in the doctrine of encouraging the youth and aspirations of the race, to patronize the Cleo Hobson-Virgie Cale Musicale on Thursday, night, Jan. 25th, at 8:30 o'clock. She has never failed to serve the various Clubs when solicited. Miss Virgile Cole is making wonderful progress under the tuition of Beatrice Thrashley. In addition to her musical achievements she has enlisted herself most effectively to the missionary activities of the church. Y. M. C. A. NOTES. The Y. M. and Y. W. C. A. held their closing-year meeting at Shorter A. M. E. Church last Sunday afternoon, and listened to an address by the Rev. Dr. David Utter, on the subject, "If I Were a Negro." A very pleasant Open House reception was held on New Year's Day, from 3:30 to 8 o'clock. Refreshments were served by Mrs. Lightner, Mrs. Clinkscale, Mrs. Florence Smith, Mrs. Claire Smith, Mrs. Geraldine Campbell. It was one of the pleasantest receptions held for a long while. The crowning feature was a short concert rendered by the Peerless Entertainers, which was greatly enjoyed by everyone. Next Sunday afternoon memorial services will be held in honor of International Secretary William A. Hunton, who died two weeks ago in Brooklyn. The program will be very interesting, and everybody will be invited. The meeting will begin at 4 o'clock. Y. W. C. A. NOTE8 The joint meeting was very well attended last Sunday. The address was not as interesting as it promised to be owing to the speaker not being as fully informed as to Negro activities as he should have been. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed Rev. Williams remarks. The Art Home on New Year's Day was very well attended. The rooms were very prettily decorated for the occasion in branches of fir and the club colors, blue and white. The party given at the Gym last Saturday was very well attended. Miss Cleo Hobson gave a very enjoyable dance, the "Irish Lilt"; Miss Sarah Russel rendered a delightful piano solo and a very tiny girl gave a recitation about Santa Claus. Miss Helen Moody will be leader at the Vanner service. The High School Girls' Club will meet next Wednesday, January the 10th. We did not have a large attendance at our last meeting but we wish all the girls to make a special effort to attend this meeting as we wish to select a name for the club and club colors. Some very interesting plans for the girls are to be discussed also. KANSAS FARMERS MEET AT TOPEKA Industrial Institute Host of Many Rural Visitors. FEATURES OF THE PROGRAM Sunflower State Agricultural Association Holds Tenth Annual Session Under Unusually Favorable Circumstances—Big Exhibition of Farm and Dairy Products Is Shown. Topeka, Kan.-The Sunflower State Agricultural association met in tenth annual session at the Industrial and Educational institute, which is called the western Tuskegee, for three days in December, and, while the weather was cold, it was the greatest and most successful meeting held in the history of the organization. The association is composed of farmers of Kansas and is to this country the country what the Tuskegee annual farmers' conferences are to the people of Alabama and surrounding country. This is the work of Dr. William R. Carter, founder of the school and also founder of the association. The officers are: William R. Carter, president; J. C. Carson, Mrs. M. Bolin, C. P. Ganaway, vice presidents; J. G. Groves, treasurer; J. R. Rogers, chairman executive committee; Mrs. Ida M. Woods, director of women's department; Arthur Emery, secretary. Farmers were here from all parts of the state, and there were a number of visitors from other sections of the country. They not only studied better farming, but the question of better health formed an important part in the meeting. Representatives from the state board of health, the Society For the Cure and Prevention of Tuberculosis of Kansas spoke, giving sound advice to the farmers, as well as to the people in the city. Among the other experts who addressed the association were Clinton J. Calloway of Tuskegee institute, representative of the National Rural School association; Dr. Homer C. Lyman of Atlanta, of the International Sunday School association; J. B. Fitch, Manhattan, Kan., of the dairy department of the Agricultural College of Kansas; Mrs. Lydia DeVilbiss, M. D., of the division of child hygiene; W. W. Russell, expert lecturer on poultry husbandry and representative of the American Poultry Journal; G. D. McClasky of Topeka, Capper Printing company; J. G. Groves, expert potato grower. While these specialists spoke and gave special advice to the farmers, the farmers also had their say, and it was interesting to hear them tell their own story, some in a crude way, but it was worthy of a place among the men who had reached the top. There were many interesting characters present. Mrs. H. C. Wilson furnished an interesting exhibition, for exhibits of farm produce, needlework, domestic science and poultry formed a part of the session, and prizes were awarded. She came with everything that could be canned, turnip and mustard greens, pickled; rugs made from rags, shirt waist made from crude sacks that had been dyed, quilts made by hand. The one made from American flags, which she herself had made, was unique. The poultry exhibition brought forward some of the finest fowls in America. One hen, valued at $100, owned by W. W. Russell, was attractive. All the sessions of the association were held in the chapel of the institute, and Dr. W. R. Carter presided. In his opening remarks he pointed out the many avenues opened to the whole race, to all the citizens of Kansas especially, was that to be found on the farm. "The soil has never drawn the color line and never will," said President Carter, "and since we made a fortune for others in the days of slavery, now let us make some of it for ourselves. The most independent man in the country today is the farmer. "Man must prepare for farming just as he prepares for anything else. As the doctor studies the human body and medicine, as the minister studies theology and the Bible, as the lawyer studies law, so should the farmer study the soil. Get the wealth from the earth that God has planted there for every man, woman and child." "One of the most gratifying things that have been done for the young people by the state of Kansas is that they have been given a decent place to be born—a state clean, full of inspiration. In proportion to its population we have more churches, more students in school, more Sunday schools." These were the words of E. W. Hoch. Special music was furnished by the students of the institute, as well as the school band and orchestra. The people were loud in their praises of the music. Friday night following the program prizes were awarded. One of the most helpful addresses delivered was the one by Professor Galloway of Tuskegee institute. It was inspiring to the farmers, visitors, faculty and students. Beneficent Work of the Urban League The employment department of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Colored People (New York office) secured positions for 1,374 persons during 1916. The amount received for the support of the league was $17,513 and the amount paid for special work was $13,723. CHURCH of the HOLY REDEEMER Cor. 22nd Ave. and Humboldt. Phone York 5700.

EQUAL TO WHITE NURSES If Properly Prepared They Can Give as Satisfactory Service as Others. Work Now Dependent on Northern Friends of Famous Institution at Hampton, Va. Hampton, Va.—Since 1891 the Hampton Training School For Nurses has been preparing colored women for the profession of nursing. "It has connected with it," says Albert Howe, who is Secretary and treasurer, "the Dixie hospital, containing seventy beds, which does a much needed work for the neighborhood, besides furnishing practice for the students of the school. "During the twenty-five years in which the school and hospital have been in operation 6,411 patients have been cared for, 171 nurses have been graduated, and thirty-three nurses are THE DIXIE HOSPITAL, WATERFRONT VIEW AT HAMPTON INSTITUTE, VIRGINIA. THE DIXIE HOSPITAL, WATERFRONT VIEW, AT HAMPTON INSTITUTE, VIRGINIA. now taking their course of training. The graduates who have gone out and begun work as private nurses in dif- ferent parts of the south are in con- tinual demand at wages varying from $15 to $25 a week. 'This fact shows the need of just the work that the Hampton Training school is trying to accomplish by bury- nishing skilled nursing service for this section of the country that is at present almost entirely without such service and by retaining in the hands of the trained colored women a profes- sion for which, even without training, the colored women have always shown themselves especially adapted. "The work is still dependent upon the gifts of northern friends for support. If it is to go on it must continue for some years to draw about $3,500 a year in donations from those who are anxious to help along an experiment in scientific philanthropy. We are convinced that the colored women cannot long retain a hold upon the profession of nursing without training at least equal to that enjoyed by white women. "We are equally convinced that with such training they can be prepared to give as faithful and satisfactory nursing service as that of the white graduates of the northern training schools. It is to keep open to them a means of livelihood which they are in danger of losing that the Hampton Training THE MUSEUM THE DIXIE HOSPITAL AND NURSES' HOME OF THE HAMPTON (VA.) INSTITUTE. School For Nurses was founded. In asking for means to carry on this work we feel that we have only to appeal to the common sense and love of fair play that characterize so many of the best people of this country. "Twenty-five years ago this institution was founded through the untiring efforts of Miss Alice M. Bacon, and here was first made the experiment of training colored women in the profession of nursing Miss Bacon's unwavering faith in their fitness for this profession has been rewarded by the record of good work done by the graduates. Their training here has been an advantage not only to them as in individuals, but through them it has been felt in the communities where they have made their homes. "Twenty-five years ago a small two room structure, most primitive in all its appointments, housed both nurses and patients. The hospital opened with one girl in training under the supervision of a superintendent who was a graduate of the Waltham Training school. The first class numbered five, and there were thirty-seven patients under their care during the first year. There were countless problems to be met, but in spite of discouragements and difficulties there was a steady growth. A gift from General Armstrong built the nurses' home and an operating room. Several private rooms were added from time to time. "Friends rallied to Miss Bacon's support when again and again it seemed impossible to tide over financial crises, and many of them still help the present treasurer to meet the annual deficit which must be met by every unendowed hospital. In 1913 the dream of a new building suitably equipped for the work of a modern hospital and training school was realized, and the new Dixie began its wider ministry. During this twenty-fifth year there have been thirty-three nurses in training and 916 patients have been under their care." The directors are: Frank W. Darling, president; Albert Howe, secretary and treasurer; Dr. H. D. Howe, Hunter R. Booker and Louis Heffelfinger. The executive committee consists of Dr. H. D. Howe, dean of the medical faculty; Dr. Esther Morgan, superintendent, and Albert Howe, secretary and treasurer. The resident staff follows: Dr. Esther Morgan, superintendent; Miss Edná A. Meler, supervising nurse; Miss Kathryn C. Miller, operating room supervisor; Miss Mary Murphy, dettianet. APPEAL TO CLUBWOMEN. President of New York Federation Asks Aid For Friendly, Shallow Home Aid For Friendly Shelter Home. Brooklyn.-Mrs. M. C. Lawton, president of the Empire State Federation of Women's Clubs, has issued the following appeal to the members of the various clubs. Mrs. Lawton says: "At our last meeting of the Empire State Federation of Women's Clubs, held in Poughkeepsie in July, 1916, we voted to take as our object the Empire Friendly Shelter For Friendless Girls. At this time, when our hearts are brimming full and running over with joy, when the peal from joyous bells are sounding and resounding the world over, I would remind you of the unfortunate women among us who have slipped and fallen by the wayside. "In this institution, as in many others, a faithful few have been carrying the burden in the heat of the day, often struggling against great odds. But the management does not despair. It feels that if it can only bridge the chasm which often lies between success and failure, that this potential factor, the saving of our girls, must receive the consideration and support it deserves. "Other nationalities have the same problem with which to deal, and they are bending all their energies toward its solution. The success of races is not dependent upon superficial gains or advancement, but upon the moral strength of its women. Now that you are turning the last leaf of the old year 1916 and the first leaf of the new year add one page to your credit as benefactresses to some charitable enterprise, and I know of none more deserving or more in need of your sympathy and support. "In view of the high cost of food, fuel, etc., I appeal to your pride as clubwomen to remember this home when you are supplying your wants. Remember the beautiful words of our Saviour, "It is more blessed to give than to receive." Think of the joy we can distribute, think of the hearts we may gladden, and, above all, the souls we may save. "Who knows but that there is a Douglass, or a Washington, or a Langston among the male offspring of that home? Who knows but that there is a Phyllis Wheatley, Frances Watkins, Josephine Yates, Sojourner Truth or Harriett Tubman among the girls? It does not necessarily follow that the boy or girl properly environed makes the most of life, for honor and fame from no condition rise. Act well your part. There's where the honor lies." "It is good to be born well, but it is better to do well after you are born. I feel safe in believing that I have but to call your attention to the promise we made at Poughkeepsie, N. Y., at our meeting in July, 1916, and that no time is better to test our race loyalty than this Christmas time. Respectfully, (M.C. Glover) "Home, 116 West One Hundred and Thirty-third Street, New York City." Dr. and Mrs. Elliott's Liberal Gift. The liberal gifts to worthy educational, religious and charitable institutions by members of the race frequently is a most encouraging manifestation of race pride. Recently Dr. and Mrs. Noah Elliott of Columbus, O., gave $500 to assist in the erection of a new building for the Columbus branch of the Young Men's Christian association. Dr. and Mrs. Elliott were both former slaves and are now over ninety years of age. Emancipation Anniversary Observed. The literary exercises held at Bethel A. M. E. church, Indianapolis, Ind., Sunday, Dec. 31, were witnessed by a large audience. The meeting was held in observance of the issuance of Lincoln's emancipation proclamation and was directed by the Rev. Charles S. Williams, pastor of the church. Among the prominent speakers named on the program were United States Senators Harry S. New and James E. Watson. YOUNG FOLKS TAUGHT TO APPRECIATE VALUE OF ART Hamptonians Learn That It Has a Practical Bearing on Making Life Better and Sweeter. "As practical as any of the trade courses, yet in no way lacking in the development of artistic ability, is the art course at Hampton institute," says a writer in the Southern Workman. "This was demonstrated in an exhibit of work done by the boys' classes in drawing recently on view in the picture room of the library. Boys as well as girls are being trained to use their taste and artistic ability in the every day matters with which some people think art has nothing to do. "Here was a drawing showing a clothes yard—not ordinarily a thing of beauty—screened by flowering shrubs, the white posts covered with luxurant English ivy. Another drawing showed an effective scheme of planting evergreens about a light stucco house. An unsightly wall was made interesting by the skillful placing of shrubs, while a house of ugly architecture was painted an unobtrusive color, its outlines being hidden by trees and shrubs. "One learned from the exhibit that in the clean country where there are plenty of trees one may have a white house with green blinds, but in a smoky town the house must be painted brown or some other subdued color. Also houses must harmonize with each other. If one's neighbors have brown and green houses, an olive gray is a good color for one's own. Fruit trees combine three advantages—beauty in blossom time, shade in summer and fruit in season. Pecan and walnut trees also serve the double purpose of shade and fruit. An ice wagon, green with white lettering, was a cool and refreshing sight. "A collection of designs made by the day school girls in their art course was also displayed. The main object of this course is to develop art appreciation and consequent good taste in dress and interior decorations. The exhibit included designs for rugs and color schemes for interiors, table and bureau covers, rugs, curtains and cushions harmonizing with the walls. All the designs showed a good sense of proportion and excellent taste in the combination of colors." Leigh R. Miner is the director of applied art and Fenno H. Heath is the instructor in drawing. BUSY SOCIAL WORKER. Miss Uxenia B. Scott Will Promote Welfare of Houston's Poor Welfare of Houston's People. Dr. George E. Haynes, professor of social science at Fisk university and executive secretary of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Colored People, has received word that Miss Uxenia B. Scott, one of the public schoolteachers of Houston, Tex., has just been appointed by the Houston social service bureau as district secretary of the Neighborhood House For Colored People. This appointment scores another success for the social service training center conducted by the co-operation of the Bethlehem House of the Woman's Missionary council, M. E, Church South, Fisk university and the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes. She received part of her training at Nashville on one of the scholarships offered by the National Urban league. Miss Scott finished the Houston high school and entered Fisk university in 1909. She pursued the four year course in education, receiving a degree of B. A. in education in 1913. During her college course she took special electives in social science and social service. During one of her summer vacations in Nashville she was volunteer supervisor of the first playground conducted in that city for colored children. The following year Miss Scott was awarded one of the scholarships in social service offered at Nashville by the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes. Upon graduation at Fisk, she went to Houston to teach in the public schools, but kept up her interest in social work and developed quite an interest in playground work among the colored children of that city, supervising a free playground almost every summer and promoting such work during the school year. Her interest grew with this volunteer work so that last summer she attended the summer school of the Chicago School of Civics and Philanthropy, giving special attention to playground and recreation work in order to better fit herself for the service she was giving to her home city. Her appointment as the first colored worker under the municipal social service bureau of Houston, Tex., comes as a result of her training and her promise for the future. Dr. Haynes has commended her zeal for such work, and when the announcement of her appointment came said that he regarded her selection as a bright promise of social bettement among colored people in the progressive southwestern metropolis, because Miss Scott showed from the time of her undergraduate days up to the present a fine spirit for community service. Promoter of Sunday School Progress. Charles Banks, superintendent of the Bethany Baptist Sunday school, Newark, N. J., is arranging to hold a large mass meeting of all the Sunday schools and Young People's unions of the denomination at the above named church on Sunday afternoon, Jan. 21, N. B.

There comes a time in every man's life where a determined stand or a resolve will be the turning point in his life. It is so in races—if we think of the lofty ideals to which we can exalt ourselves, if we but follow the lead. Resolutions to help others, cheer the unfortunate, see nothing but good even in your enemies, make homes brighter by your presence, being kind and tolerant with children, all these suggestions are helpful to any person or race who will but follow them. What has 1916, with her joys, sorrows, heartaches, successes, failures, and true happiness meant to the real thinking Negro? What does 1917 usher in for him to sieve upon and make his own? Colorado is teeming with opportunities such as never before, and for that reason we observe the outlook, inlook and uplook of the race in Colorado. Seeing the chance will we be men and women enough to reduce it to our own? The Negro in Colorado need only to put his shoulders together, get close together and push and no power in Colorado can stop his progress. Since prohibition has helped the families of Colorado in general we must bear in mind that the motto of all nature is, "Work or Starve." It is written in the Stars, on earth and the law for man as well as growing things. Labor, the great schoolmaster of the race, conquers all things and no rewards come without it. It teaches patience, forbearance, all fine qualities, giving a polish to character, an addition to the real joy of living. Closely observe, if you will, and you'll find it an inexorable rule of nature that whatever is not used, dies. The idle and shiftless by choice make nerveless and powerless by necessity. The trouble has been with too many Negroe's in Colorado is that they have been spending too much time waiting and wishing for opportunity to knock at the door. They have wished rather than worked. Here are some examples in Colorado who have wished and worked and have stirred others to wish and work: MORRISON'S ORCHESTRA. person, organization, musical society or any other of his, her or its own efforts so lazily grand superstructure, to which others in the car and day by day, week by week, month by month, foundation so carefully laid, a beautiful musical society in any community is a grand success.

Little was known of the Morrison Orchestra three or four years ago, but slowly and gradually this congenial bunch of favorite musicians have forged their way to the front, until this the Denver Post and the daily Boulder papers advertise as one of the leading features and drawing cards, The Morrison Orchestra and Entertainers. The social dance, private and public (white), advertised "George Morrison's Orchestra (Colored) will furnish the music," while the Boulder College boys, in flaring lines, "Music by our own George Morrison." Miss Ruth Boetther, a wealthy lady, closed the Albany Dancing Academy one night, paying all the expenses in order to secure the services of the Morrison Orchestra. Everybody everywhere has demanded their service—prize fights, picnics, smokers, receptions and parties where both the finest white orchestras compete with them for honors. Such has been the great improvement of this once unknown Morrison Orchestra. The present personnel are Prof. Geo. Morrison, violin; Wm. Kelly, saxaphone and trombone; Miss Jessie Andrews, piano, and 'Gene Montgomery, traps and drums. The year 1916 has been a blessing to them.

Never has labor conditions and opportunities for financial investment been more favorable to the Negro, especially to the Negroes outside, as well as to those inside of this State, as this present year and the year just passed. Because of the great showing made by the farmers in Dearfield at their little country fair, when Governor Carlson spoke to them and of their thrift, the white farmers from the surrounding counties visited this little colony, not ten years old, and were astounded at their progress and produce raised. It was then that the persons acquainted with the Southern Negro farmer wished that he could only be here in the land of sunshine and free chance where he gets a square deal and could help develop Colorado, where he, his family, his vote, and his freedom and advancement is thoroly appreciated and encouraged. These white farmers then asked that Negro labor be encouraged to come to Dearfield and its surrounding territory and employment would be given them. Japanese are now being employed. In Mesa county and San Luis Valley Negroes' opportunities are most flattering. Mr. Isaac Wilson of Southern Colorado is the Negroes' most wealthy farmer in this State. He has everything modern. We hope to print the story of his life's struggles to success. Farms can be rented on shares. Live stock companies ought to be formed by Denver Negroes in order to stock up the farms of these Dearfield and Deertrall farms. Here is a most wonderful chance for the city Negro to make money while he sleeps. Live stock and chickens, hogs, ducks and turkeys—thousands of chances for the Denver and Colorado Negro are going a-begging for the right person to start and carry them to success. Shall we always be workers for somebody else? Colorado offers in 1917 better hopes, better indications for real success than at any time in her history. Let us make something out of Dearfield and her farmers where there has been great progress already made by us. Butter-fat is being shipped by Dearfield farmers already to Denver creameries. In 1917 and 1918 nearly all the homesteads will become taxable Colorado lands thru Negro ownership. Begin now and invest your Xmas fund in hogs, cattle or chickens, and put on one one's invest your Xmas fund in hogs, cattle or chickens, and pdt them on someone's farm and see your money grow. It will pay more than 4 per cent. Let Colorado Negro farmers have a conference to discuss their interests and offer suggestions. COLORADO'S POLITICES THE NEGROES' HOPES When any race of people or an individual has decided to stand up erect, looking the world square in the face, taking in and giving off rewards and disappointments, then other persons will stop and consider the interests and benefits of that determined race or individual, especially where rewards will come to friends and defeats to enemies. Under the Democratic regime of 1915-1916, especially after our Birth of Nation fight for manhood and common, ordinary respect and decency, the political fortunes of the Negroes began to rise higher in the scale of Denver's Citizenry. Representative jobs had been given to representative persons and a clerical position given in the Assessor's office to a young man who merited it, notwithstanding a messengership job had been previously given to a Colored man whose ambition rose no higher. At the Spring election Mayor Speer re-appointed Dr. Westbrook upon the staff of the County hospital; kept in office two inspectors; created a watchman position, and gave a job at the jail to a Negro, besides making another a guard at the County hospital over the sick prisoners. He broke a precedent by putting a lady in the laboratory department. And because of these encouragements to stimulate Negro progress and advancement in good citizenship, the Negro has become self-reliant and self-assertive to the point as to present an insult or slight deliberately done the race, consequently a stinging rebuke was necessary to the retiring Governor for his slight of our women and abuse of our confidence. From what we can now gather, the year of 1917 augurs well for Negroes whom the Negroes want and not who some politician wants in order to pay his lackey some personal debt. The year of 1917 hopes to see political fossils and carbuncles who have been sucking the public trough for years relegated to the rear, where they will be compelled to make a living other than at politics. Let the young Negro and others who have never asked nor had anything, have a chance to make good. This is The Star's main fight, and watch the politicians howl. OUR WOMEN—GOD BLESS THEM. not close without showing the tremendous pr religious work, charity and all actions into whi les; 1917 finds us with a new club, Friendly o given to us by and thru the sacrifices of ou and spreading Y. W. C. A. has nearly doubled We could not close without showing the tremendous progress made in philanthropy, religious work, charity and all actions into which pure altruism bubbles and settles; 1917 finds us with a new club, Friendly Girls' Home and day nursery, all given to us by and thru the sacrifices of our good women. The energetic and spreading Y. W. C. A. has nearly doubled its membership. the High School Girls' Clubs and the organization of the grammar grades to affiliate now and then with them, is a step which means to bring womanhood in Colorado on a more protected basis. In both institutions the active workers find hard tasks to do, knotty problems to solve, and our beloved women are giving of their time, labor, money and nerve-force so that womanhood in Denver may be reached. Never in the history of Denver has there been shown such a tender regard for all classes of women who happen to have made a mistake in life as our club, church and all classes of women now show. They seemed to have discovered a "new world in woman," which they never knew existed before and the work is fastly proving so fascinating that the end of 1917 will not only show what another big tag-day or sale-day of Club Home postal cards will do, but our biggest, bravest and best of our exceptional women will be broader than their churches, lodges, societies and social prejudices and will be truly filled with that spirit of service which helps the other fellow less fortunate than some one else, making for true peace, prosperity and good welfare for all of Denver and her citizens as they lift, as they themselves climb. Our women have done nobly. OUR Y. M. C. A. SHOWS RESULTS. but is our Y. M. C. A., the cradle out of the borne. Secretary Bell is handicapped with the proper equipment to interest our interest and enjoyment elsewhere after they hold. We hope in 1917 these conditions C. A. must be prepared to take care of us. We will let the Amsterdam News Slowly fighting its way to the front is our Y. M. C. A., the cradle out of which good citizenship can and must be borne. Secretary Bell is handicapped because of the lack of means to furnish the proper equipment to interest our growing boys who soon find employment and enjoyment elsewhere after they have been trained in the Y. M. C. A. mold. We hope in 1917 these conditions can and will be remedied. Our Y. M. C. A. must be prepared to take care of our boys from the cradle to thegrave. We will let the Amsterdam News speak our closing sentiment: THE OLD YEAR AND THE NEW under, looking back upon the past year, sent freedom and liberty exists in America on the dawning New Year, will responders who, because they serve none other undemn our slavish, selfish attitude and the grand truth that freedom has ever those who will take her.

It is in the Muskogees that aspects a fighter. All creation takes adown hands whether we will be free men in favor of freedom, the most priceless, let, those who dare not fight for freeerdam News. How many Colored people, we wonder, looking back upon the past year, will need to be reminded that at present freedom and liberty exists in America for all but those of their race. How many, we wonder, looking upon the dawning New Year, will respond to the exhortation of the Colored leaders who, because they serve none other but the race, are candid enough to condemn our slavish, selfish attitude and in prose and in verse remind us of the grand truth that freedom has ever bought at a sacrifice and is only for those who will take her. Will the year 1917 find the twelve million Colored people in America at last resolved to face the truth; at last prepared to fight for their rights earnestly and constantly and to any conclusion that the white man's deviltry may make necessary? Will they resolve to stand together as at Muskogee when, a few Colored men, backed by resolution and rifles, put to fight a white mob and protected a brother Colored man in jail, seeing to it that he got at least a trial according to the law of the country? Will they stand as it Muskogee or are they satisfied to hang separately as in the case of Anthony Crawford, a respectable and well-to-do Colored man fouly murdered in Dixie and dragged "through the Negro quarters by the neck as a hint to 'good niggers' to continue so." Certainly the latter case was nothing to be proud of, nor has it gained us aught but scorn and a reputation for cowardice. It is in the Muskogees that our real salvation lies. All creation respects a fighter. All creation takes advantage of the coward. It is in our own hands whether we will be free men or slaves. Will the New Year decide in favor of freedom, the most priceless possession of the human race? At least, let those who dare not fight for freedom cease to prate of freedom.—Amsterdam News. JOURNALISTS TO MEET. Nashville Will Be Host to Members of National Negro Press Association. National Negro Press Association. Nashville, Tenn.—The meeting of the National Negro Press association is to be held in this city Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Feb. 7, 8, 9 and 10, 1917. The official call is just being released from the corresponding secretary's office of this city, and it comes out signed by C. J. Perry of Philadelphia as president, Joseph L. Jones of Clincumati as chairman of the executive committee and Henry A. Boyd of this city as corresponding secretary. This will be the fourth time the newspaper men have gathered in the metropolis of Tennessee for an annual gathering, it having been made the regular meeting place of the regular sessions by constitutional provision. The executive sessions have been held generally in connection with the Business league during the month of August. It is understood from the corresponding secretary that they are expecting the largest attendance in the history of the association, as there are practically no annual gatherings being held now in midwinter that will interfere with the newspaper men's program. The Nashville membership, which consists of twenty-five or more, has already called a meeting of the local members, and they are making preparations for the entertainment of all who may come. In addition to this, some of the leading newspaper men of the United States who are connected with the association have expressed their intention of being present at this session. The work to be completed covers a wide scope and is of vital interest to the newspaper fraternity. Some constitutional changes are to be made, but the most important thing will be the consideration of the report of the executive committee, which held its session last August in Kansas City. Our Success In the Field of Athletics In almost every line of athletics, amateur and professional, young colored men and boys have won high honors In the old days Moses Walker, a catcher, and Frank Grant, a second baseman, were stars in league ball until the unwritten law barred colored men from the diamond. In pugilism there have been scores of great boxers of African descent, starting with Tom Molineux, who was really the first world's champion, although tricked out of his honors, and including such names as Peter Jackson, George Dixon, Joe Gans, Jack Johnson, Sam Langford and Joe Janetette. Atlanta Constitution Sounds Warning. In discussing the exodus of colored people from Georgia and its cause the Atlanta Constitution says: "Back to the law" is a slogan that should appeal everywhere upon purely a moral basis: but, if it will not in sufficient force, then we are confronted now by the possibility of serious industrial calamity which must follow upon the removal of Georgia's best and most satisfactory farm labor."

All the rooms were found to be spacious, light and airy and the ladies were highly complimented by all for having secured such suitable quarters. Many useful articles were given to the home and more were promised. A collection of $13.00 was presented the House Committee by the friends for which the committee is heartily thankful. At present a few changes are being made in furnishings to make the Home one of the most attractive and cheery homes in Denver. And it will be ready for occupancy in about a week.

The company was loyal to the ladies and the club ladies were loyal to the company, each looking after the interest of the other. Wherever a dollar could be spent with their own the same was done, and above all the women did it with a Colored Realty Company, looked after by a Colored lawyer. Please put a pin in that. All honor and success to our noble women. OLD CITIZEN DIES OF HEART- TROUBLE.

Duty, faithfulness and loyalty to his lodge were the keynotes into which his life was wrapped. He died Sunday night before 12 a. m. of heart trouble and old age. His last thought was of his Masonic lodge. He will be buried from Douglass Undertaking Parlors, Sunday, when the full membership of the Masonic bodies of the city will turn out to do this veteran of the square and compass honor. Miss Gertrude Lewis-Murrill of Pueblo, a winsome young lady, was visiting her sister. Miss Dorothy Lewis during the holidays. OPERATED ON AT MERCY HOSPITAL. Mrs. Blanche B. Baker was operated upon at Mercy Hospital New Year's Day. She was doing nicely at this writing, but another operation was necessary of a most serious nature, is being planned as we go to press. The Star, with her many friends, hope her speedy recovery. Her friends gathered at the house as she left for the hospital, and are still very anxious about her. Mrs. Baker is a Denver girl.

National League's Efforts to Facilitate Migration of Our Race. By T. ARNOLD HILL. New York. Allive to the different phases of the much discussed and many sided "Negro migration," the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes is awake to the need of intensive effort for the betterment of the working and living conditions of the colored people who are coming from the south to the industrial centers in other sections of the country. Already slight infractions of the law, lack of recreational facilities, improper housing and disregard for the comfort, freedom and wages of the workers have been reported from two or three labor sections. In addition to adjusting the difficulties of numbers of the race who have migrated to New York from the south and the supplying of several industries in the north with labor, the Urban league is sending Eugene K. Jones, its executive secretary, to cities where the presence of large numbers of colored people makes imperative the need for organized constructive welfare work. Mr. Jones made his first stop in Harrisburg, Pa., where, largely because of the iron industry in the adjoining town of Steelton, serious labor problems are going to be met by a group of citizens who have under consideration definite plans to handle the situation. In its efforts to arrange adequate housing, sufficient wages, satisfactory hours, wholesome recreation, safe and just municipal protection and proper respect for law and the rights of others on the part of the Negroes themselves the Urban league will give the advantage of its own experience in meeting these issues in the various cities where its organizations are at work. In Pittsburgh, where an affiliated movement of the league was formed last winter, the various problems arising in this large iron manufacturing city will have careful supervision and systematic handling by the branch organization. Pittsburgh is accustomed to a large laboring population, and the same problems will be more easily met and solved than in other cities which are being affected by the movement of labor. Mr. Jones will also visit Elyria, O., which has been one of the centers for Negro labor since the general exodus began. Another phase of the league's activities in this same direction is the sending to colored editors all over the country a letter of general information calling attention to the fact that good positions are being secured by the efficient and energetic members of the race when they have come north to fill a definite job and are willing to give an honest day's toil. The communication contains also a warning against the wholesale migration of irresponsible Negroes, who soon lose their places, become a menace to the neighborhoods and thereby humiliate and retard the race in communities where white people have hitherto considered Negroes undesirable. Before returning to the city Mr. Jones will stop in Cleveland and Chicago. Both of these cities have made requests for the league to start permanent organizations, fully equipped to work along all lines of betterment work. ARAB PATROL'S RECEPTION. Members of Sahara Temple Make Merry on New Year's Night Among the many social functions given by the various secret societies in Pittsburgh on Monday evening, Jan. 1, was the reception held by the Arab Patrol of Sahara temple. No. 2, Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, at Labor temple. Music was furnished by Myer's orchestra, which was enjoyed by a merry throng. The committee in charge was headed by J. P. Hayden, who was ably assisted by William Robinson, Lenwood Newsome, John McCoy, Dan Baker, Dan Taylor, David Gibson, G. A. Allen, Berry Allen, George Stevenson, John Thornton, J. R. Williams, Charles D. Goldston, George Jackson, Samuel Cox and James Thomas. Albany's Social Service Problems Albany's Social Service Problems. Among the prominent white people who are co-operating in the movement recently started in Albany, N. Y., for the purpose of improving economic and social conditions among the colored people of Albany are Rev. Father Archambault, who represents Bishop Cusack and the Roman Catholic benevolences of the diocese; the Rev. Roelf H. Brooks of St. Paul's Episcopal church, Rabbi Samuel H. Goldenson of Temple Beth Emeth, the Rev. W. H. Stubblebine of the Sixth Presbyterian church and Alwin C. Quentel, commissioner of charities. James B. Clarke Goes to Rio Janeiro. Comments of regret in school circles among our people in Brooklyn are many because James B. Clarke has given up his position as a teacher of Spanish in the high school to enter business as the representative of a United States commercial firm at Rio Janeiro. Mr. Clarke is a graduate of Cornell university. He has already left for his new post of duty. Lincoln Graduates Are Progressive. Graduates and students of Lincoln university are co-operating with the faculty of the school in raising funds for the erection of the Rendell memorial in honor of the president of the university. Graduates of Lincoln residing in the southwest have formed an alumni association and are contributing to the fund in a body. PINEY WOODS COUNTRY LIFE SCHOOL IS MAKING GOOD How Principal Laurence C. Jones Provides For Ambitious Students. One of the most worthy and progressive of the younger schools in the south for the education of colored youth is the Piney Woods Country Life at Braxton, Miss. This institution, as far as its limited equipment allows, is meeting the needs of the masses in its section of the state in a very large way. That the people of this thickly populated part of Mississippi are anxious to give their children a chance to educate themselves became more evident at the opening of the school in October than at any time since it has been established. The largest number of boys and girls reported for entrance on the opening day, Oct. 11, than at any other time, and Professor Laurence C. Jones, the principal, rather than turn any one away decided to run them in two periods, some during the day and others at night. But even this method has not given room enough. The institution is in need of funds with which to erect a larger building for classrooms, chapel and a dormitory building. Any one who can and will give to such an institution any funds, however small, will be giving to a worthy cause and may be assured that his gift will be wisely used. The following is an illustration of how white friends of the race regard the work which the school is doing under the management of Professor Jones: As a mark of appreciation for his old black mammy, "Aunt Lunkey," to whom he told all his woes and who nursed all his injuries in childhood days, G. W. Dulaney, a wealthy Missourian, has made a donation of $500 to the school. In a letter to Professor Laurence C. Jones Mr. Dulaney says that he desires to make the gift as a mark of love for the dear old mammy, feeling that it will be used as a useful monument to her memory and hoping that it may result in the development of such another beautiful character as Aunt Lunkey. "My grandfather paid $400 for Aunt Lunkey before the war," said Mr. Dulaney, "but in spite of the fact that her freedom was promptly given her at the time of the war she had always been attached to the family and considered herself a member." DANIELS DODGES ISSUE. Secretary of the Navy Refuses to Dis- pose Recruiting Colored Men. The Democratic administration at Washington has run the gantlet of race prejudice, especially in so far as it applies to the colored people. Thrift, intelligence, loyalty to the flag and efficiency seem to count for naught. An exhibition of such unfairness on the part of an official of the present administration toward our race is given in an article which appeared in the New York Evening Telegram of Dec. 13. The Telegram says: 'The color line has been drawn in the navy by Josephus Daniels, the secretary, who at the hearing of the navy estimates before the house naval affairs committee approved of the suggestion that Negroes might be accepted as recruits. Mr. Daniels had made various recommendations for meeting the shortage of officers and men, none of which seemed adequate to the members of the committee. "Representative Oscar Callaway, Democrat, of Texas finally asked the secretary what he thought of the advisability of obtaining Negro recruits, calling his attention to statements by officers that the Negro troops were good soldiers and good fighters. "Secretary Daniels did not approve the suggestion. Instead he waved his hand to the committee stenographer, asking that his reply be not made a part of the record, and then, leaning back in his chair, said: "Mr. Callaway, if you will excuse me I would prefer not to discuss that matter." Elise Denson Dies at 125 Years of Age. Mrs. Elise Denson of Brooks county, Ga., who has recently passed away in the one hundred and twenty-fifth year of her age, was a landmark in the county for many years. Her descendants number hundreds and as far back as five generations. She was a woman of sturdy habits, strong constitution and great faith in the ability of the race to make progress in business, religion and education. The people of the community and its environs will hold memorial services for the deceased veteran for a whole day, possibly during the Christmas holidays, when most people of the rural districts are at leisure a week. Pollard to Follow Medical Profession. The name of Fred Pollard will live long in athletic annals. He is the newest addition to the long list of athletic stars among the young men of our race. Pollard is a native of Chicago and is twenty-one years of age. He is only five feet six and one-quarter inches high and weighs 150 pounds. He is a great hurdler as well as football player. He expects to become a physician and is laying at Brown university, Providence. R. L., the foundation for a future course in medicine.

Alexander Poushkin. Graphic Story of Birth and Ancestry of Russia's Leading Songster, Whose Hundredth Anniversary Was Celebrated by Royalty and Populace Throughout the Empire. BY JOHN E. BRUCE "GRIT." The one hundredth anniversary of the birth of the great Russian poet Alexander Sergevitch Poushkin was celebrated in Moscow and throughout Russia in May, 1899. All Moscow joined in celebrating the birth of Russia's greatest poet. Alexander Sergevitch Poushkin, like Alexander Dumas, had a considerable strain of African blood in his veins. He was descended on his father's side from one of the oldest of the noble families of Russia and was the great-grandson of Abraham Hannibal, an Abyssinian Negro slave, who at ten years of age was brought to St. Petersburg by the Russian ambassador at Constantinople and presented to Peter the Great, who became very much attached to him and sent him to Paris to be educated. Alexander Sergevitch Poushkin was born in the Schwarz Haus, on the German street on Ascension day, May 20, 1799. The ancestors of Poushkin springing from Alexander Newski and several of the bearers of this name were signers of the proclamation which made Michael Feodorowitch Romanow czar of Russia. One of his ancestors figured prominently in Russia in the time of Boris Godanow. His great-grandfather, known in history as Abraham Petrowitch, died in 1781 at eighty-seven years of age. a Russian landed proprietor. One of his sons, Ivan Abramovitch, who died in 1801, was the founder of the city of Cherson and was the father of Nadeshda Ossipoula, the mother of Alexander Sergevitch Poushkin, the poet. The Russians have none of the foolish color prejudice which is characteristic of some of the peoples of Europe and America, and this celebration of the birth of their greatest poet was an event of nation wide importance. The postage stamps and postcards of the country bore the likeness of Poushkin and scenes depicting events in his early life. We are soon to celebrate in this country the one hundredth anniversary of the birth of Frederick Douglass, a man of color who in his special line was as great as Alexander Sergevitch Poushkin and as worthy of recognition by this nation, which he served in an official capacity for many years, as he will be by the patriotic members of his race who will commemorate the one hundredth anniversary of his birth at Washington during the latter part of December. They do these things differently in France and Russia and in some of the South American republics, to whose national greatness and glory their black and colored citizens have contributed in no small way. At the celebration in Moscow there was first a big parade in which thousands of citizens participated. There were deputations from all the schools in the line of march when it started for the Poushkin monument. A memorial pamphlet containing a picture of the poet and fragments of his works was distributed to the participants in the parade and to the public. After all the delegations had assembled a solemn requiem mass was celebrated for the repose of his soul. The march was then taken up toward the monument on the Tver boulevard. Thousands of people had already gathered about the monument, and upon the arrival of the paraders the crowd was augmented by other thousands, and the main celebration began. The governor general of Moscow, Grand Duke Sergius Alexandrovitch, and his wife of the imperial court were among the dignitaries present. The address of the day was delivered in Russian by Professor S. D. Somitnow, chairman of the department of the Russian language and literature in the Pedagogical Society of Moscow. He said: On this day the name of Pousshkin unites all Russia in that one sentiment of enthusiastic admiration for the memory of the genial poet. In all Russia the one hundredth anniversary of his birth is being celebrated in the national festival. It is celebrated in the name of truth, purity, love, love for humanity in general and for his own race in particular. The great poet now has been slumbering in his grave for over a generation, but his works have won immortal life and will go down through the ages forever. Russian literature had for years been under the influence of western European writers, but Pousshkin also away from this influence and founded the Russian school of literature today, in all its individuality. Today he stands in the hall of the temple of fame by the side of Shakespeare, Byron and Schiller. Following this able and heartily applauded address, the school children sang a festival cantata composed for the occasion. The parade was then resumed. As each delegation passed by it laid at the foot of the monument wreaths of gold, laurel and flowers. In the afternoon, at 8 o'clock, the celebration was continued in the hall of the university building. RACE SEEKS NEW ABIDING PLACES Hundreds of Thousands Have Left the Southland. Summary of Facts and Figures In History of Migration of Colored People From the South Since the Beginning of the European War-72,000 Are Skilled Laborers. By RALPH W. TYLER. Since the beginning of the great European war 326,876 colored people from the south have gone north, the larger per cent of whom have gone north during the last eight months of 1916. That this noticeable and unusual migration of the race to the north should attract country wide attention and invite very serious discussion in the public press of both the north and south is perfectly natural because of the possible effect this migration may have on the economic and social conditions north and south. These 323,876 natives of the southland going north have scattered themselves over Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, the northwestern states, Pennsylvania, Delaware, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut and Massachusetts. Were Dr. Booker T, Washington living, what would be his position relative to this unusually large migration of his race from the south? Knowing him as I did and enjoying his confidence as I did, I believe I commit no error in stating he would have strenuously discouraged it. That the shortage of labor supply was responsible for northern employers sending south to take from "Dixie" the muscle she had depended upon for more than 250 years is apparent to all. That the race long subjected to segregation, very meager school facilities and the denial of suffrage should regard the north, with its equal school privileges and the right of suffrage unrestricted, as a promised land is but natural. Every time a burning of Negroes, like the recent horrible Waco (Tex.) affair, occurs in the south, with an unjustifiable lynching of a reputable, well to do colored man, like the recent Abbeville (S. C.) affair, the Negroes in the south ask the divine Creator in piteous walls the question, "O Lord, how long?" When foreigners left to fight in defense of their respective countries, leaving jobs and positions vacant, and the world war paralyzed foreign immigration, compelling the northern employer to send his agents south for Negro laborers, so glad were they to leave a section where for 250 years their labor and fidelity had been required with poor wages, scant school facilities, discrimination, denial of suffrage and lynching that 326,876 of them exclaimed, "We are coming, Father Abraham, three hundred thousand strong!" From the most reliable sources, after careful investigation, I find that these 326,876 colored citizens who have moved north since 1914 came from the following states in the following numbers: Georgia, 46,870; South Carolina, 27,500; North Carolina, 35,280; Florida, 10,806; Mississippi, 34,210; Louisiana, 15,890; Arkansas, 23,500; Tennessee, 20,620; Virginia, 45,650; Kentucky, 21,850; Texas, 10,670; Oklahoma, 5,380 Now, where did all these 326,570 blacks go—to what state? Crossing the Mason and Dixon line, this black caravan moved into what they have long regarded as the promised land and distributed themselves as follows: 45,000 of them stopped in Ohio, 32,000 wended their way to Indiana, 54,000 extended their pilgrimage to Illinois, 18,000 went to Michigan, 73,000 stopped in Pennsylvania, 59,000 settled in the Empire State, 15,000 took up their habitat in Delaware and New Jersey, 25,000 distributed themselves over the New England states. Of these 322,676 who have left the south since the beginning of the European war 72,000 of them were skilled laborers, the remainder being common laborers, who took the place of Italians, Slavs and Hungarians on construction work, in mines, mills and manufacturing plants. Kentucky contributed a large per cent of the skilled labor, possibly because of her nearness to the field of labor demand, and Virginia and Alabama, due doubtless to the location in these states of the two great industrial schools, Hampton and Tuskegee, were large contributors to the skilled labor class. My investigations give me assurance that the vast majority of these persons who have come north are steady, sober, industrious men of robust health who seek an asylum in the free north, with its better wages and better opportunities for the education of their progeny. They went north not at the behest of politicians to colonize certain doubtful districts, but they went north to do honest labor. The hope, because of why they came and the type of men who came, is indulued that this mighty migration of blacks from the south to the north means an earlier solution of a long debated problem and an adjustment of labor conditions to the north that will remove the menace of strikes. Negro labor seldom. If ever, strikes for either higher pay or shorter hours. Like the patient ox, well fed and groomed, he waxes fat on labor with good treatment and leaves to the foreign immigrant labor the privilege and pleasure of indulging in strikes.
