Denver Star

Start the New Year Right--Advertise in the Greatest Negro Journal in the West The papers formerly known as The Statesman and The independent, have been merged into The Denver Star GOV. GUNTER MODESTLY TAKES THE REINS OF GOVERNMENT. Opportunity Is Ahead The long expected time has arrived when Governor Gunter has assumed the reign of responsibility of government for the whole of our great and glorious State and on Tuesday morning Colorado affairs were managed by her new Governor. He goes into office not only backed up by the confidence of his party but with the faith and respect of most of the well thinking and progressive citizens of this State. His out look to serve Colorado's best interests large and small and to be governor of all the people, high and low, rich and poor, black, white and brown, augurs very favorably for a good administration. The Star said before election as it says now that it has great faith and confidence in the "square deal" which we hope that our governor will give all the people alike. Already extreme pressure is being brought to bear upon him in favor of certain class of lab-cring men who happen to belong to a certain organization because of their color and race as against certain other laboring men who are doing and striving to do as much as any laboring class for the peace, progress and prosperity of all of Colorado. Already bills which give ad advantage and preference to labor unions have been introduced ahd more are to follow in order that greater benefit may be given laboring men who belong to a Union than to those who do not, by legislative enactment. In other words, special laws for a special few, as against the many. So far all indications lead us to believe that our newly elect Executive will use his wise head so often brought into play during his earlier politi life. The Star is again bring The Denver Star ESTABLISHED 1888 POPULAR AMERICAN WOOD-MEN SOLID AS GIBRALTAR. Where are you carrying your protection? Very good but listen! Do you realize that all you can do is to CARRY protection with those people, that is, all you will ever have the privilege of doing is paying in your money and of course receiving the protection such as it is, but the vast sums they are paying out for salaries etc., will never reach your pocket or that of your children. More than one hundred good people of Denver are carrying their protection in the American Woodman where they can see their money again in more ways than one. Every cent is being paid out for claims to colored people and for salaries to colored workers. Don't you think it is a good idea so long as you can get just as good protection and a little cheaper in an organization of your own to carry it there? Your Insurance Commissioner will tell you that the American Woodmen has an A rating, none better in the state. You can take a certificate of $250 up to $2,000 paying a rate less than that for what you are paying now and at the same time we will give you more protection. Every certificate carries you sick benefits, accident benefits, old age, burial and death benefits. If you are less than thirty you may carry $1,000 for about $25.00 a year giving all of these benefits. You may carry $500 for $1.00 a month with all benefits. Think the matter over. It will pay you in many ways. Call at the general offices in the Arapahoe Building, or at Dr. DeFrantz's on Welton Street or any of the many members who are working on our special dispensation of $2.50.

And again remind them that of the chance of their life time to make last ing friends out of some members of our race. Summed up and put in form of a question, is if you believe us worthy, intelligent and capable, show us by your acts. The Gunter Adminstration has started off with the best wishes of every loyal Coloradoan and nothing but success looms up before him. May our new Governor serve Colorado well. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JAN. 13, 1917 Full Measure-The The Goal. Nations Which Sow Equality Reap Justice Nergo Should Have All or None "Clearer than ever are the interlacing responsibilities of nations, lands, peoples, and races. Neglect any and all suffer. Let any through the selfishness of men be exploited or exploit, and the great timekeeper, to whom a thousand years are but as a day, at length reaches Saturday night and per day. "Let Belgium exploit the Congo with cruelty unknown before, and the profits of Leopold and his partners will set Europe greedily athirst for colonies and helpless lands, Let Morocco remain in the night of the past and Germany and France will draw near war and at last grapple. Let Persia decay and be robbed, its robbery will bring other international forays and a German general will be at Bagdad facing an English army. A Serbia misgoverned, uneducated and cursed by past oppression, will bring Russia and Austria to open war whose dead already equal the entire population of the small state whose wrong and whose wrongs began the conflict. "Unredressed wrongs and retarded races undeveloped sow the broad ocean of time with the mines that in days to come wreck the world's argosies. The measure of the service of prevention for our land by General Armstrong is to day the misery of another continent and of European civilization where the innocent reap death where others have sown wrong and sought selfish racial ambitions. All suffer and nons stand guiltless in the hour of this great day of judgment on all the past. This is true gospel of reason and common sense fraught with the law of compensation,—"You'll reap what you sew", Now right seriously consider with me that in America the Negro must bear and rise under the great strain and burden of heavy race prejudice, disfranchisement, Jim crow laws, lynchings of men and women and children, segregation, ostracism, Southern concubinage and to all of that add keen economic competition and high cost of living!! In Colorado Union labor in which crystallizes and perpetuates race and color prejudice thru its ranks are now trying by special legislative enactment to recieve special favors to a special few. Somebody, sometime, somewhere will pay for this inequality, verily it is written, that if unequals are added to equals (in theory) their sums are unequal, and where an inequality exists injustice, crime and lynching with mob rule occur, which finally sounds the death knell of that people or results in a revolution to get better treatment. Are these hard times! You will make them easy by hustling for the American Woodmen. THE BIG CONTEST IS ON. $50.00 in gold to any member securing more than 25 applicants; $25.00 in gold to the one securing the second largest number, providing it be above 15; $15.00 in gold to the one securing the third largest number, providing it be above 10; $10.00 in gold to the member securing the fourth largest number, providing it be above 8. The dispensation is only $2.50 and everybody has an even break. Let's see who will win the first Grand Prize of $50.00. All applicants must be passed on by Dr. DeFrantz. The dispensation closes with a grand program and banquet at Zion Baptist Church, 24th and Ogden Sts., Tuesday night, January 30. For further particulars inquire at the Head Camp, Arapahoe Building. C. N. PITT, Commander. JAS. G. ADAMS, Clerk. Negro Must Go Back to the Soil. Good Advice. Let's get back to the soil and be progressive farmers, study and read up-to-date methods and practice them, for that is what the colored man is going to have to resort to. Take the advice that I have given you before,—select good seed and do winter plowing if you want a success ful 1917 crop. Buy, rent or lease land for another year, for if you don't do so right away, you will find that you won't get any, as land is advancing from thirty to fifty per cent since last year on account of high cotton, corn and wheat. To the city people: Last year Mayor Overholser offered a five-passenger automobile to the boy or girl who could raise the most on one lot 50 by 125 feet, and that resulted in a fourteen-year-old boy raising $126 worth of vegetables and flowers on his lot. This caused a big boom in vacant lots in town, and this year others are taking the matter in hand and other prizes will be offered. Lots will be scarce, and if you dont arrange for your lot at once, you might not get any. Let every farmer in the country, United States Demonstration Agents, preachers and school teachers join heart and hand encourage our boys and girls to be progressive farmers another year. The white people are far ahead of us in this respect, and we must wake up to the fact that we must teach our children and show them by our example that farming is an honorable vocation, and an easy one if handled the right way. The future of our race depends on our children and the next generation. What we make out of them is what we will be. It is very foolish for our boy and girls to take business courses then when they have their business training, there is nothing to do. We can make them dignified, educated and polished, but there will be no room for them in that class. We will have to prepare our boys and girls to till the soil and make money in a way that they can easily get something to do. Our farmers need proved to be a successful line to carry along with other kinds of farming and can be started with small capital. Poultry, especially, is the poor man's stock. If we see that the common laboring man is getting more than the colored man and taking his job every day, we and our children will have to study the poultry and stock business and other side lines, and carry them along with our farming to make a success. We will have to encourage our FIVE CENTS A COPY. Negro Firemen Hurt by Falling Wall. Froman and Sloan Injured It was only a miracle which saved the lives of two of our bravest fire fighters in Denver when, on Wednesday night the stables of Pratt and Hollis where the Allies' horses were kept preliminary to their shipment next day to New York, were set afire and destroyed. Alfred Froman and Wm. A. Sloan of Engine Co. No. 3, our own dear Five Points fire department, the pride of Denver, were caught in a falling wall and covered up just as they were leaving the fire after fighting the flames for several hours, and were severely injured about the head, neck and body. Both received deep scalp wounds and were internally hurt, both having had their bodies bruised and muscles strained until they were rnshed to Saint Joseph hospital where they are said to be resting easy. Because they were right next to the side of the standing wall, when it fell over them, is given as the reason for them not being instantly killed. This recalls how three Colored men following their leader bravely met death at the St. James Hotel fire years ago when the floor fell in with them. Our firemen managed to save the prized stock which will take part at the Stock Show on the 17th inst. Kansas Editor's Wife, Mrs. Chiles Dies After long Illness. This week Nicholas Chiles, Editor of the Topeka Plaindealer has lost his wife after a long illness of several months. Editor Chiles is one of the pioneer Western Editors and the entire West especially Colorado where Mrs. Chiles was so well known, join in their deepest expression of sympathy for the loss of his estimable wife. $500,000 Plant For Michigan Negro Town Detroit, Mich.—The Central Michigan Coal Co., headed by B. F. Goodrich and H. Stanley Ford, has closed a lease on a $500,000 factory in Marlborough, Michigan's colored town, for the manufacture of fertilizers, peat and other alkali products. The company will employ all Negro labor, about 500 men to be on the pay roll. children to take an interest in all these things if we make a living for ourselves and them, too. This is all.

Perkins; Treas., Wm. Price; Sec., Wm. Parks; Asst. Sec., Theo. Von Dickerson.

Their work of the revision of the church roll is in process, when their work is finished they will be ready to report their findings and recommendations to the church. Last Monday eve the Usher's Board held their installation of officers—a banquet followed; about 100 persons were present and voted this to be the best yet.

Ford, Treasurer. All of the members of the church believe that much success will attend the work of these women. A number of the men have promised heartily to help them. Mrs. Clara Smith, the Junior League Supt., will entertain the members of the Junior League, Friday, January 19, from 3:30 to 6 p. m., at the church. This will be the greatest occasion of the year for the younger folks of the church. Mrs. Cox, President of the Home Mission, with much hard work is now meeting with more success.

The diversions of the holiday season having past, the congregation is settling down to the more serious activities of the winter season. During this week a special week of prayer is in progress, from which it is already evident great blessings will be received. The pastor is leading each evening a Bible study on the Second Coming of Christ. The attendance, the earnestness and the devotion of the people indicate greater things ahead. The pastor occupied the pulpit at hymn lessons last Sunday. The morn- ing subject, "Another Chance," and the evening subject, "Unbelief," each held the interest of the congregation to the close. A very tender and enjoyable communion, attended by a goodly number, was the last service or a very helpful day. Sister Lucy Tillery and Brother Arthur McMean were added to the membership. Brother Gwynne was able to take his place among the deacons after an illness of more than a week. Rev. Henderson was among the visitors welcomed to the service of Sunday evening. Deacon Georgia has returned after an extended visit with relatives in Kansas. Sister Butler, who was recommended to our church by the Nineteenth Street church, Washington City, was among the worshipers Sunday evening. When Brother Wallace shall have taken up his work as pastor at Trinidad, Zion will have reason to feel more heavily obligated to Mission work in the state. The relief work of the church is going forward. Sisters Horn and Baker in charge of the committees who have this work in hand, are possessed of great zeal to see that each case of real need is given attention. These committees are to be enlarged and strengthened so that the work will be given greater scope. At the end of the month a report will be published showing the dispensation of the money and supplies given to this worthy purpose. When all the reports of the auxiliary shall have been fully tabulated a report will be published covering the activities of the church for last year. It is well for Zion to have a clearer knowledge of what she is doing. The work of getting these reports together has been somewhat delayed owing to the illness of the pastor. It is the hope of the pastor that a large number of the members will feel the duty of visiting the sick. In these days of epidemic conditions of gripe and pneumonia it is well night impossible for the pastor to reach every one. Every case of illness should be reported promptly. Names received by Tuesday noon will be published the following Thursday. Next week the Bible classes will resume their activities. The pastor hopes to see every man Tuesday night. There is some special community work which calls the men's attention and which it is hoped will not be neglected. BETHLEHEM BAPTIST CHURCH. 3148 Lafayette. Phone Y 7647. REV. A. E. REYNOLDS, PASTOR.

SOCIAL FUNCTION AT WASHINGTON Miss Clarice Jones' Marriage Season's Big Event POPULAR YOUNG EDUCATOR Daughter of Noted Lawyer Becomes the Wife of James W. Michaels, a Successful Contractor of Saliabury, N. C.—Episcopal Ceremony Performed by the Rev. Emery B. Smith. Washington.—The stellar event of the social life of Washington's Yuletide of 1916 was the charming wedding on Wednesday evening, Dec. 27, when Miss Clarice A. Jones, the accomplished daughter of Attorney and Mrs. Thomas L. Jones, became the bride of James W. Michaels, a prosperous contractor of Saliabury, N. C. The nuptial ceremony was performed at 6 o'clock at the stately home of the bride's parents, 1901 Vermont avenue, Northwest, in the presence of a large number of relatives and friends of the contracting parties, both in and out of town. The impressive ring service of the Episcopal church was pronounced by the Rev. Emory B. Smith, pastor of the Lincoln Memorial Congregational church. The marital vows were exchanged amid sweet strains softly discoured by Professor Cole's orchestra, after the triumphant bars of Mendelssohn's "Wedding March" had been given. Prior to the entrance of the bridal party into the spacious double parlors Miss Marie C. James, the noted prima donna contraito, sang DeKoven's "O Promise Me," and just before the minister asked the "great question" Albert Booker interpolated a solo, "Because." The bride was given in marriage by her father. Dr. Ernest Robinson of Sallahbury, N. C. acted as best man. Sambury, N. C., acted as best man. Miss Jones was gowned in a beautiful costume of white duchess satin, trimmed with silver lace flouncing, over georgette crape, with a long train, veil to match, surmounted by a wreath of orange blossoms. She carried an immense bouquet of white roses. The bridemaid was Miss Claudia Brandon, who wore turquoise lace net over silver metal cloth. The attendants were Miss Buth Moore of California, who was attired in pink and blue meteor over blue taffeta, and Miss Fannie Holland of this city, who wore white net over white satin. Mrs. Georgia Jones Tucker, sister of the bride, was matron of honor and wore a charming gown of canary satin. Mrs. Jones, mother of the bride, wore a gown of black satin and lace. The flower girl, who played her part with piquant precision, was Miss Clarice Antoinette Tucker, the little granddaughter of Counselor and Mrs. Jones. Mrs. Minnie Lucas Wright, the Misses Carrie and Lizzie Woodford and Mr. and Mrs. Wilkinson assisted in receiving the host of visitors and other friends rendered timely aid in all of the activities of the joyful hour. The towering mansion of the well known Jones family—not excelled in domestic appointments and architectural magnificence by any home in the capital—was tastefully decorated throughout. The spacious parlor and drawing room were an artistic maze of palms, smilax, American Beauty roses and white chrysanthemums, and about the stairway evergreens were gracefully intwined. The hymeneal altar in an alcove extension was a bower of rare beauty. In front of the house was a canopy extending to the curb, laid the entire length underfoot with carpet. Following the ceremony came the reception, and hundreds of representatives of the elite of the nation's capital thronged the place, voicing felicitations and wishing the happy couple bon voyage through life. A dainty luncheon was served, and each guest received a piece of the wedding cake. The presents, which filled an entire upper apartment, were unusually rich, varied and pretty, embracing a dazzling array of gold and silver, sparkling cut glass, rare china, fine linens, handmade conceptions for milady's boudoir and numerous articles for practical household use. Mr. and Mrs. Michaels departed at 10 o'clock on their wedding eve for Sallisbury, N. C., where they will make their future home. Mrs. Michaels, let it be said in passing, is an honor graduate of the conservatory of music of Cornell university. Ithaca, N. Y., and her finishing recital at that historic institution is conceded to have been the most brilliant that had been given by any student taking a degree in music there. For several years Miss Jones (now Mrs. Michael's) has served with distinction and complete satisfaction as director of music at the Livingston university, Salisbury, N. C., and will probably continue in that capacity for the remainder of the current year. She has been a brilliant figure in the younger social set of the nation's capital, and her graceful bearing, sunny disposition, lofty ideals and pleasing intellectuality have combined to make her a popular as well as a valuable member of the community that has been delighted to call her its own. The bride comes from one of the oldest and most highly respected families in this section of the country. Mrs. Michael's and her chosen companion for life carry with them to their southland home the best wishes of all Washingtonians who know and admire them for their splendid character. SHORTER A. M. E.

In the Assessor’s office when it came to lay off temporary 22 persone, naturally one would think Httle atten- tion would be paid to efficteucy, but more attention would be paid to favor. ites who had ‘the pull.” Not 90 in that office, the Chief Clerk, Silvers, retained only “the heads of depart. ments” among whom was Mr. Henri ‘Hinkle, who has revolutionized the method of handling schedules for time and condensed many other methods, eliminating so much handling. Mr. Pitcher has publicly recognized his ability and accuracy by loaning him to the Treasurer’s department, to find clerical errors in the finances. Mr. Pitcher laid aside race and color and made the test efficiency and ability, and Henri Hinkle won out over 22, and is now spoken of as one of the heads of a department. The Birth of a Na tion discovered a new “soul” in Mr. Clair J. Pitcher and his fine treatment and square deal only makes him big ger and better true American. GOALS FOR 1917-1918. WHAT ARE YOU DOING? What the best and wisest citizens and well wishers of Colorado and Den- ver desire for themselves and for those with whom they labor, that must the officials, both city and state desire for all of its citizens and for all of those who happened to be intrusted to their care for pleasure, comfort and convenience, Ip this connection The Star calls attention to the fact that in ‘August, The American Woodmen, the strongest fraternal life insurance com- pany operated by us in Woodcraft, will have fits supreme sessions here. This will bring about 500 Southern and Eastern delegates to Denver as Den- ver's guests. Denver will owe much to these people, who will come to our city trusting that we, in our own town, will see to it that they are not rob- ed, mistreated, neither by white nor black, yet permitted to see Colorado's beauties and scenic points in all parts of our State. Our coal and gold mines, steel works and everything in farming and Dearfield should be shown them with the {dea of interesting them. Ex- cursions should be run for them to see Royal Gorge, Moffat Snow Capped Peaks, Georgetown Loop, Pike's Peak and Cripple Creek. This is our chance! What are we doing about it? In 1918, in June, the National Federation of Colored Women’s Clubs will meet with ‘us, bringing 500 delegates besides the hundreds which the low rates will at- tract. It is this grand affair of the women which every minister of this state, every business, professional, tradesman, mechanical worker and in fact any, Kind of producer or worker should have on exhibition something to show those Eastern, Northern and Southern delegates that the Negro ‘West is not asleep. The greatest re- sponsibility 1s placed upon the women, our women, because they vote and have more advantages than others, hence somebody ought to get busy and send out notices and arouse our far- mers whom Colorado has honored. Let it be sald truly that Denver is a con- vention city. Interest the Chamber of Commerce of our large cities, also their merchants whose ware and goods will be bought. Let the goals for 1917 and 1918 be victory for Colorado to the end that her unoccupied and unclaim- ed land will ujtimately be taken up by our farmer guests. ‘Mrs, B. J, Hudgon and two children. THE NEW DISTRICT ATTORNEY. Our new District Attorney, Wm. E. Foley, has been sworn in and bas be- come active in the management of his office, We recall that Mr. Foley was elected by a majority over Mr. Gilles- ple of 2220 votes. ‘The Star claims that without the Negro votes, Mr. Foley could never have been elected and for the reward given or the rec- cognition extended by him thus far, Mr. Foley has not even considered the Ne- gro in any capacity, so far as his lists of appointees are concerned. Mr. Foley assured a few people before election that he would appoint a Colored man in his office. He was elected upon the strength of that prom{se—hundreds of Negroes thinking that he would keep iis word, voted for him. So far, Mr. Foley has not done anything for the Negro. The Star urged Mr. Foley's election, we trust that Mr. Foley will make good his solmn promise. Time can only answer with his action or in- action. NEWS BUREAU PROMOTER. Melvin J.

KERR 153 Madison St., Denver 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 occa- sion was a veritable love feast for the fnterested friends who have fought the race battles for equality of rights and against the wrongs of segregation and discrimination, Jimerow cars and all other race discriminations wherever found, without comproniise and with- out fear. ‘Tho 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 af. €rming those policies and principles ot action on the part of the members of the race brotherhood everywhere whicb would give assurance of the strength: ening and securing of the rights we now enjoy and carry us forward in the Une of conquest of other privileges and Uberties 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. Alico McKane, G. R. Margetson, Rev. H. W. Swain, Hon. Moorfield Storey, Dr. W. A. Sinclair of Philadelphia, J. 8, Gains, Hon. W. H. Lewis, Emery T. Morris, Miss Elizabeth C. Putnam, 0. HH. Seales, Esq., A. A. Perry and W. M. Trotter. The dramatic moment came when Chairman Russell introduced Hon. William H. Lewis, former assistant at torney general of the United Btates, one of the chief objects of the Guard- ian’s attacks for some years. He was given great applause and spoke very impressively and eloquently, saying that be was glad to come into the church in which he presided at a meet- ing 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 Mra. Trotter in their beautiful home on the hill and paid Mrs. Trotter a delicate compli- ment. He spoke of working with Trot- ter against “The Birth of a Nation” and pledge4 co-operation. ‘The speaker in calm retrospect re- cited many of the stirring scefies and events when the Guardian and its faithful friends’ in Boston weré mak- ing race history, such as the fotmding of the paper by its present editor, Wil- Mam M. Trotter and others, the contro- versy 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 Na- tion,” the celebrated Bosfleld case, etc. But by far the most interesting and important feature of this celebration was the coming together of the sev- eral opposing factions of Boston's col- ored citizens, who had been split asun- der and fighting for the several con fiicting 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 Se ep ae cease ae the warfare against race discrimina- ton, segregation and lynching. This fact 1s prophetic of a brightening fu- ture. 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 citizen- ship full and complete. Nothing less 1s the goal to be striven for. May itearry high the watchword inscribed on its banner “For every right with ell onr ATLANTA. UNIVERSITY FUND.

National Association of Colored Women's Clubs Receives Report of Special Committee on Condition of the Frederick Douglass Home and Receive to Pay Off the Indebtedness. New York.—The National Association of Colored Women's Clubs has begun a vigorous campaign to raise $15,000, the sum necessary to pay off the mortgage on the home of the late Frederick Douglass at Anacostia, Washington. Mrs. Mary B. Talbert of Buffalo, president of the association, is devoting much time and energy to the work of the campaign, which is attracting nation wide attention. In her efforts to bring THE WEEKLY NEWS MRS. MARY B. TALKET, PRESIDENT, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF COLORD WOMEN'S CLUBS, BUFFALO, N. Y. the matter before the public for action Mrs. Talbert has the full co-operation of the general officers of the organization, the executive committee and the various state federations of women's clubs. The Douglass home proposition was taken up at the biennial meeting of the national association held at Baltimore in August, 1916. At this meeting a committee was appointed to consider the advisability of assisting the trustees of the Frederick Douglass Historical association, which has charge of the home, to liquidate the debt on the home which is of long standing. In its report on the matter the committee finds that under a special act of congress this association was created, first, to preserve to posterity the memory of the life and character of the late Frederick Douglass, and, second, to collect, collate and preserve a historical record of the inception, progress and culmination of the anti-slavery movement in the United States and to assemble in the homestead of the late Frederick Douglass, generally known as Cedar Hill, in the village of Anacostia, in the District of Columbia, all such suitable exhibits of records or things illustrative or commemorative of the anti-slavery movement and history as may be donated to said association or acquired by purchase, bequest or other lawful means. After careful consideration of all the facts the committee concludes that this is the psychological moment for the association to show its true worth and prove that the women of the race can measure up to those able sainted women of the race like Sojourner Truth, Harriet Tubman, Amanda Smith, Francis Ellen Watkins Harper and others who passed through the life of slavery and stood the test. We believe, says the committee, that the attainment of the goal depends upon the enlistment of every man, woman, boy and girl of the colored race in America. We seriously realize that it will require us to mobilize all the resources of our association and show that we are not afraid to put ourselves on record as being able to save the home by one day's co-operative effort. We purpose to enlist the largest possible number of people, especially the boys and girls, in this part of the work of our association, relying upon race loyalty and pride as the energizing power. We purpose to employ such methods as will enable us to use every resource within our power for the accomplishment of this task. The need is concrete, and we know that our share toward saving the home is comparatively small. This, however, will give us courage to feel that by all working together it can be accomplished. We will thus place our association on record as saying "I will" to our program of advancement. We believe that every boy and girl should become a co-operating member in this program, and with that in view we earnestly urge every woman's club to mobilise our boys and girls. The public schools are asked to observe the one hundredth anniversary of Mr. Douglas birth on Sunday afternoon, Feb. 11, 1917, by a short program at which each child is asked to contribute 1 penny on that day to pay for one nail to be used in the renovation of the Douglas home. In the northern and eastern cities, as well as in the south and west, day school pupils are asked to contribute, and Sunday school superintendents all over this country are asked to hold a short memorial service on Sunday Feb. 15, 1917, and ask each child to contribute 1 penny toward the saving of this home. The question no doubt will be asked by many, "Is it worth while?" The committee answers strongly, "Yes!" For who can measure the farreaching results of this great work, the inspiration that will be given to the boys and girls of our race? It will stir their hearts to greater race pride for them to know that they have a part in this great work and thus directly express their gratitude to the silent memory of Donglass, the orator, diplomat and statesman. Every man, woman, boy, girl or club who takes a share in the redemption of this home enters into a partnership with the trustees in preserving to posterior the home of the greatest man of our race of his time. To arouse our women to greater activity the committee has decided that it will place upon parchment the name of every individual or club that contributes the sum of $25, and to the club which sends the largest amount over $25 a special tablet will be placed in the Douglass home in its name. This is done that our children in the years to come when paying a visit to this shrine may read the names of loyal race men and women who have proved false the accusation, so long brought against the race, that it shows no gratitude for benefactors if doing so costa dollars and cents. It takes $15,000 to save and restore the home and grounds of the Douglass estate. We have deemed it advisable to appoint a special treasurer to look after the funds. All moneyys collected should be sent to Mrs. Nettle L. Napier, 120 Fifthenth avenue, north, Nashville, Tenn. Feb. 12 is the one hundredth anniversary of Douglass' birth. For further information address the president of the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs, Mrs. Mary B. Talbert, 521 Michigan avenue, Buffalo, N. Y. The special committee consists of Miss Nannle H. Burroughs, chairman; Miss Haille Q. Brown, chairman executive board; Rev. Florence Bandolph, Jersey City, N. J.; Miss. Maggie L. Walker, Richmond, Va.; Miss Elizabeth C. Carter, New Bedford, Mass.; Mrs. Victoria Clay Haley, St. Louis; Mrs. Nettle L. Napier, treasurer, Nashville, Tenn.

After finishing the public school course he entered LeMoyne institute, at Memphis, one of the schools of the American Missionary association. He joined the Baptist church at fourteen years of age. After two years' study at LeMoyne institute he went to St. Louis and at once connected himself with the Central Baptist church, of which the Rev. J. L. Cohran was pastor. His activity in the church attracted much attention. He was licensed to preach by the Central Baptist church in 1901. This was followed by his entering the Western college, Macon, Mo., the institution of the colored Baptists of the state. He finished the course at Western college in 1905. He won honors while in school and was chosen orator for the theological class. He was called to the pastorate of the Baptist church in Kirksville, Mo., during his school days and also at Jacksonville, Mo. The churches were not far from Macon; hence he was able to spend the week in school and go to his churches on Sunday, returning to school on Monday of each week. Following his graduation he was ordained an elder in St. Louis in 1905. He was examined by the entire ministry of the Baptist church in St. Louis, and they were loud in their praise of his ability as a young minister.

Mr. Butler was called to the Park Chapel Baptist church, Palmyra, Mo., in 1006, where he accomplished a good work. He was instrumental in building a stone church there and paying off the indebtedness. After remaining at the Park Chapel church six years he received a call from the Calvary Baptist church at Wichita, which he found to be heavily in debt. The people were fearful that the building and ground would be sold because of the debt, but the Rev. Mr. Butler smiled and declared that the debt was but a toy. He soon cut it down, and now they are preparing to erect a new building to cost $20,000. The congregation is wide awake and eager for a new church edifice. This was demonstrated recently at a meeting held for the purpose of raising $300 toward the building fund. Instead of raising $300 the members and friends contributed $500. The church will hold a financial rally during the month of January, at which a large amount is expected to be contributed for the erection of the proposed new meeting house. Dr. Butler is highly respected by both races in Wichita and is recognized as a safe leader, able preacher and financier. Fisk Honors Memory of Noted Singers.

Ware of Atlanta University Makes Family Statement University Makes Frank Statement. In discussing the question why the colored people are leaving the south in such large numbers Edward T. Ware, president of Atlanta university, says: "If the colored people are to remain in the south they must be educated. We are conducting a campaign to raise half a million dollars toward the endowment fund of Atlanta university. This institution has been in existence fifty years, having been founded early in 1867, following the close of the civil war. "The work of Atlanta university is recognized throughout the south and north. It was founded for the purpose of giving the colored people a chance for the same educational advantages that the white population of the southern states enjoys. If this work is to be done it must be done by men and women who have had more than an industrial school education.

Everybody recognises that the Negro must be educated if he is to have the same opportunities that his white brother enjoys, but few stop to consider where this education may be given. "One of the vital questions in the south at the present time is the exodus of Negroes from the south. The southern press has pointed out that if the colored people are to remain they must be educated and protected against lynchings. Already in southwest Georgia intelligent members of both the white and colored populations have got together to discuss what can be done. It is in just such situations that the educated colored person exerts his influence. "Atlanta university is giving the south just such educated colored young men and women. The distinctive service of the university has been the preparation of teachers. Among the graduates also are successful doctors, preachers and business men." Serious Blow to Knights of Pythias.

SCOTT, JR. Winner of Scholarship Prizes at Phillipa Exeter Academy Amputing to $760 - Graduate of the Tuxekege (Ala.) Institute Class. of 1914 - Ranks High In French and Advanced German. ITC NO. The yearly scholarship awards of the Phillips Exeter academy, at Exeter, N. H., New England's most important preparatory school for boys, amounting to $15,000 annually, were announced in the Boston Evening Transcript of Dec. 22, 1916. Among the scholarship awards are many Phillips scholarships. These take the form of free tuition. The funds come from a large gift from the founder, John Phillips, Harvard, 1735. For a good many years these were the only scholarships, and boys receiving such aid were termed "foundationers." These scholarships paid board and lodging or a large part of such expense, and the tuition was invariably remitted to needy students. Slowly, however, other scholarships were founded until the number is now very great and the income no small sum. The yearly award amounts to about $15,000. It is to be noted that Emmett J. Scott, Jr., of Tukegee institute, Alabama, continues to maintain the same high record of scholarship he has established since he entered this school in the fall of 1914. In the Transcript announcement he ranks second in the senior class, being awarded two scholarships—the Bancroft, of $140, and a Phillips, of $150, making a total of $200. He is also one of the nine first honor men of the senior class and secures honorable mention for practically perfect work in two of his studies French and advanced German. 1. Counting the scholarships just awarded him, young Mr. Scott has won a grand total of $780 in scholarships and prizes during his three years at the Phillips Exeter academy. He graduated from Tuskegee institute in 1914. His sister, Miss Charissa Scott, also a Tuskegee graduate, member of the class of 1916, is a student at the Bradford academy, Bradford, Masa. SHERIFF ELEY'S COURAGE Ohio Official Gets Loving Cup For Defending Man From Mob. The National Association For the Advancement of Colored People on Dec. 30 presented a loving cup to Sherman Eley, county sheriff at Lima, O. The trophy was given in recognition of Sheriff Eley's bravery in defending a colored man accused of a crime or misdeanor from being lynched by a mob of white people. This is the first time that a sheriff of any county has been so honored, it is said. The inscription on the loving cup reads, "For devotion to duty in defending a colored prisoner from lynching enduring torture and insult, that the majesty of the law might be upheld, at Lima, Aug. 30, 1916." The presentation of the Second Baptist church. He said that the world loves and appreciates a man who stands squarely with a heart unafraid and his face to the front at times of stress and that public appreciation never is small for the faithful official who stands for the administration of the law and the enforcement of justice. The sheriff was too moved to say more than simple thanks in accepting the cup. Prior to the presentation, however, he told friends that what he had done hardly called for action by the Advancement association, because he had only done his duty. As a result of the Lima riot many arrests were made, some of the indictments being against well known citizens. Several of these have been sent to prison on charges of having attempted to lynch. Other cases are pending. A colored man of the name of Daniels has been given a penitentiary sentence. Sheriff Eley at the last election was returned to office by a big majority. Dr. C. V. Roman Speaks at Louisville. The Louisville (Ky.) branch of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People introduced its program of action for the new year at a great mass meeting on Monday evening, Jan. 1. Dr. C. V. Roman of Nashville, Tenn., delivered the principal address. Dr. Roman's subject was, "Let Us Go Forward—A Plea For a Larger Vision." He handled his subject in a logical and scholarly manner. Phone Main 6699 Private Booths for Ladies NIGHT AND DAY LUNCH ROOM BOB CARRUTH, Prop.
