Denver Star

Shriners Entertainment, Fern Hall, Thurs., Feb. 8th SYRIAN TEMPLE No. 49, A. E. A. O. N. MYSTIC SHRINE The Denver Star ESTABLISHED 1888 NEGROES BUYING AUTOMOBILES BUT PEONAGE STILL PERSISTS. Memphis, Tenn., Jan. 19. With 50 years of freedom behind them, Negro farmers of this part of the south are buying automobiles by the thousand, result of their reaping part of the nation's unprecedented prosperity. Not only are black men buying pleasure cars, but many motor trucks for hauling farm products. In Clarksdale, Miss., alone, 100 touring cars have been sold to Negroes since the gathering of the cotton crop. Negroes are sacrificing the comforts of their homes for the luxury of the automobile. Little improvement is noticeable, however, in their farm houses throughout Arkansas, Mississippi and Alabama, The condition of the Negroes on the farm, while vastly better than it was 10 years ago, is still little better than slavery. They are massed on large plantations and practically compelled to stay on the land. It is the policy of the plantation owner to keep the Negro tenants hopelessly in debt. Then he is sure of keeping them, especially in Mississippi, where THERE IS A LAW PROHIBITING A NEGRO LEAVING THE LAND SO LONG AS HE IS IN DEBT TO THE OWNER. We quite agree with Mr. Craven that there is coming a new order and system of things, viz., the adoption of the diversification system of agriculture instead of all cotton farming. The last two years have convinced us thoroughly on this point; in this, too, the Negro has done as much to bring about this diversified system as anybody else and is thoroughly in accord with it. This is proven by their full smoke houses, full corn cribs, in fact, a plenty to eat at home. The Negro has not been a laggard in this new movement. It seems to us that Mr. Cravens insinuates that the Negro has been an obstacle in the way of this new movement and the sooner he goes, the better for all concerned. If anything, he will be needed just as bad in the new system of farming as in the old. Often in land sales in this territory the Negroes go along with the bargain. This somewhat somber picture is offset to some extent by the condition of the city Negro and those living on farms near cities. In this city alone, Negroes own real estate valued at least at a million dollars. They have bank accounts aggregating a quarter of a million. Hundreds own their own homes. Mr. Cravens is right when he says: "The exodus of the foreigner to his native land has been a Godsend to the Negro at this time; it has opened a field of labor to him at an opportune time. Necessity knows no law nor climate. the Negro will go and come, he will die in the going and staying, but he will stay, and from no matter what point they start, they will induce others to follow. (Our cook has gone.) Negro labor is thriving here. In fact the state factory inspector for west Tennessee reports the spread of Negro labor has resulted in displacing white men and is considered a growing menace. "Facts are facts. Here is an emigration problem right here at home to be solved. The Negro is in our land and here to stay, and has been given equal rights under our constitution and we (the South) have educated him as far as we can in book larnin," and the avenues open to him other than agriculture, cotton in particular, are limited. So, therefore, the only solution (whatever that might mean), is for them to scatter out over the various states of the Union and let those states whose population they become a part, open the door of opportunity to them and educate them in the lines of skilled labor, and should they ever become a factor in the social and political life, solve the problem just as we have done. They should be given the preference in the North and East to the foreigner from southern Europe—that is, if these Easterners practice what they preach." Negro schools are introducing manual and mechanical training and Negro children show a marked adaptability for these branches. Schools are overcrowded and children are eager to attend. Illiteracy is fast being reduced among the Negroes. A better understanding seems to obtain in this section now between the Negroes and the whites. The tendency appears to be toward industrial freedom and equality, rather than toward social equality. We heartily concur with Mr. Cravens when he declares that the Negro should be given the preference in the North and East to the foreigner from southern Europe. The Negro is a real American and has been here about as long as any other American, and is entitled on that account to be treated as an American. As we have said before in this paper, what the Negro wants is to be treated as an American citizen without discrimination—and not every time he turns around to be reminded that he is a "nigger." He wants room for expansion and development, and the main reason he is migrating North is to find more room for development in mind, in morals and in material wealth. Most of them The old game of "skinning" the Negroes is passing away and most of the white people stand ready to guarantee to the Negro every dollar he earns. feel they cannot get it here, and it would be hard to convince them otherwise. He is thoroughly of the opinion that owing to slavery and the relation that exists between the two races down here, one occupying the position of master and the other a slave, one a boss and the other a servant, that he can never expect to rise to his highest possibilities and work out a great future for himself and his posterity. Hence, he feels that it is his interest and welfare if he would reach the most worthy future. that he should go where the relation between the races has never been that of master and slave, but where every can man expect a square deal when it comes to civil and political liberty. THE CHARGE. T. Cravens' Views On Negro Migration and What it Means. In another column of this paper will appear a communication to the Constitution by T. Cravens, under the caption, "Boll Weevil and Negro Emigration Not So Bad As They At First Seemed." He attributes the migration of the Negro very largely to the boll weevil, causing the white farmer, who has been supplying the Negro in the past, to withdraw his support and declare that he would be unable to supply him another year, and that he would have to supply himself. Perhaps this did have something to do with it, but it isn't the real cause, in our opinion. The real cause is greater and deeper than this. The boll weevil and the support of the white farmer were only an incident. The real cause is mistreatment and the failure to secure that liberty which the Negro, in common with all other men, longs for. The Negro is an American "to the manor born." He has imbued the American spirit, having lived, moved and had his being in this country for nearly three hundred years. Our white neighbors either do not know the cause or won't acknowledge it. "Man cannot live by bread alone." You might give the Negro all the material wealth in the world and yet he would not be satisfied any more than a white man whose civil and political rights were abridged. There is never a Negro on the jury; he never holds a place of honor or trust, not even as much as a coroner or bailiff Mr. Cravens is also right when he says, "the only solution for them (Negroes) to scatter over the various states of the Union and let, those states whose population they become a part open the door of opportunity to them and educate them along the line of skilled labor." He might have added, and become a part of the body politic. That is what he longs for, and that is what he should have and it should not be withheld from him.—Atlanta Independent. Our white neighbors may as well understand it once for all, that nothing in the world will satisfy the Negro and stop this mighty tide of migration but equal and exact justice. The slogan is "liberty," and when our white neighbors, as does Mr. Cravens, attribute the Negro migration to such trivial things as boll weevil and lack of support by white farmers, they deceive themselves. The Negro wants to go where he can get liberty; where he can get better schools, better wages, better school facilities, better political opportunities and better protection of life. That is the main reason the Negro is going North. THE ANSWER Boll Weevil and Negro Emigration Not So Bad as They At First Seemed. In a communication to The Constitution, T. Cravens discusses variously and to the point the causes contributing to the exodus of the Negro from the South during the autumn months of 1916, and what it really means. He emphasizes the bright future that looks ahead of this section, owing, in large part to the boll weevils forcing the farmers to turn their attention to crops other than cotton, and he points to a plane of development and an agricultural greatness which, he says "we could never get if we stuck to the all-cotton and all-Negro system." He closes by observing that "it is little wonder that the man with a lot of head above his ears has his business eye on the southeast." The letter in full follows: The letter in full follows. Editor Constitution: In a warehouse in the little town of Seale, Ala., about twenty miles of Columbus, I walked over a pile of 600 tons of peanuts this afternoon and on my way back to Columbus I thought of the cause of Negro migration northward, compared to some causes as set forth by learned educators and noted divines. Being in the midst of things I decided right here was the cause, nothing more or less than new enterprise, new industry. Hsre in this little town is a mill keeping at home a part of the millions that we spend yearly for feed, by making peanut oil, grind the cake into meal, grinding velvet beans and the vines of both, also corn stalks and pea vines hay, and mixing the stalk and the vine meal with same and making the best feed in the world. These mills are being built at several places in this section. Mob violence, injustice in the courts, vivid pictures of social and political advantages North and whatnot—it is new enterprise and the boll weevil that is driving the Negro out of the cotton belt northward, the boll weevil is responsible for it all—he is driving the white man in. There is a great change taking place, and instead of all cotton, hell and Negroes, the agriculture of the South is getting on a higher plane. The cotton grower has told the Negro for the past eight months that he cannot feed him and that there is nothing for him to do—that in the new order of things there will not be the demand for labor—consequently, without land to cultivate, without money, without credit and with no possibility of securing work in the South, what other alternative is there, pray, but for him to go where work is offered him. The exodus of the foreigner to his native land has been a Godsend to the Negro at this time; it has opened a field of labor to him at an opportunity time. Necessity knows no law or climate, the Negro will go and come, he will die in the going and staying, but he will stay, and from no matter what point they start they will induce others on the way to follow. (Our cook has gone.) Facts are facts. Here is an emigration problem right here at home to be solved. The Negro is in our land and here to stay, and has been given equal rights under our constitution and we (the South) have educated him in "book larnin," and the avenues open to him other than agriculture, cotton in particular, are limited. So, therefore, the only solution (whatever that might mean) is for them to scatter out over the various states of the Union and let those states whose population they become a part open the door of opportunity to them and educate them in the lines of skilled labor, and should they ever become a factor in the social and political life. solve the problem just as we have done They should be given the preference in the North and East to the foreigner from Southern Europe—that is, if these Easterners practice what they preach. The gang and disc plow and the riding cultivator are taking the place of the "grasshopper" plow and the Bermuda grass that the Negro has been dodging will be grazed by fine cattle, hogs and sheep, and more dignity will be given farming, requiring intelligence, ambition, energy and pride, which will induce many of our young men to go into the "business;" then our farms will be dotted with pretty painted homes, big barns, the gins will be made into combination feed mills and the new lighting systems will bring to the country all the conveniences of the city. In other words, this, with the automobile will bring the city to the country and the country to the city. Yes! There is a great change taking place, everything working in perfect harmony for the betterment of all. The Southeastern Land Show will bring thousands of new people into our state, with new blood, new ideas, new energy, all of which we need—but the which we would never get if we stuck to the all-cotton and all-Negro system. It is little wonder that the man with a "lot of head above his ears" has his business eye on the southeast. En route. T. CRAVENS. —Atlanta Constitution. Awarded $500.00 Each--Supreme Court Hands Down Decision Against Discrimination. New York, Jan. 26.—David E. Tobias, a graduate of Georgetown University, and editor of the Searcher, and Eugene L. Moore, advertis ing agent of the New York Age, both Negroes, were each awarded the full penalty of $500 under the civil rights law, by a decision handed down by the Appellate term of the Supreme court today which reversed a decision of Justice Davies in the Municip al court, dismissing their com plaint in a suit brought against John Reihm (white) a cafe keeper. The two men charged that they had been ignored, al though white patrons were being served all about them. The defendant alleges that there was no refusal to serve, but that he had given the bar keepers instructions to serve "all sober persons." Justices Guy, Shearn and Bijur, in their opinion, say: "The plaintiffs were business men of apparent good standing" and were objects of a "deliberate refusal." Brownwood, Ga., Jan. 26. Dick Perkins was elected to full membership of the United Confederate Veterans without pay for the remainder of his life without payment of dues. This was done at a meeting of the Stonewall Jackson Camp, No. 118, when the annual election was held. Church News CAMPBELL CHAPEL AFRICAN M —., CHURCH NOTES.

THE ZION BAPTIST CHURCH, 24th Avenue and Ogden. David E. Over, D. D., Minister. Telephones, York 6007, York 9377. A congregation somewhat larger than for the past few weeks listened to the morning discussion by the pas- tor, which closed the three weeks study of the first chapter of Ephe- sians. That these studies have been helpful is not only evidence by the marked interest in which they have been received, but also in the earnest apirit which has characterized the series of prayer meetings which closed Friday night. In the evening Brother Wallace gave a splendid message as a fare- well to the congregation, where he has served as superintendent so ac- ceptably and in which he is held in high esteem. Next Sunday he takes up the work as pastor of the St. Paul's Baptist Church at Trinidad. The pray- ers and best wishes of the church go with Brother Wallace, who will leave behind him a greater interest in the welfare of the brethren in the South- ern part of the State. Extended announcements were giv: en Sunday morning concerning the “Soul Winning Campaign” which will be launched next Sunday to continue thru the months of February and March. It is desirable that every member be present in the morning service. Plans will be presented con. cerning the organization of a great League of Prayer by which we hope to unite the entire congregation in the purposeful endeavor to win souls. ‘There will be also an organization of Personal Workers who will pledge themselves to give at least One Hour per week to the personal effort to lead someone to accept Christ as Savior. This should be the normal activity of every child of God, and the call should receive ready response from a large number of the congregation. All those having relatives or friends unsaved are asked to hand in their names for prayer. A huge crowd was present at the public meeting of the American Wood- men, Tuesday evening, in the church, At the close of a splendid program re- freshments were served elaborately. Many members were secured. This evening, Thursday, the Sun- day School will give a public reception to its retiring superintendent, Rev. ‘Wallace, It is hoped that all the mem- bers of the school as well as the friends will turn out.

Sermon topics Sunday, Feb. 4, 1917: 11 a. m—“Ishbi-Benob With a New Sword.” 5 p. m.—‘Jesus-Savior.” Perhaps the most wonderful and successful recitals ever given in the church was occasioned last Thursday night, Jan. 25, by the Misses Cleo Hobson and Virgie Cole. When the history of great, successful musicales shall have been written for Denver among its colored population, the Hobson-Cole concert will have a very respectable place. Under our church notes it is not for us to compliment the choir and more especially on ac- count of our association therewith, but we do want to congratulate the so prano soloist, Mrs, Lula Madison, who is also a member of this singing or ganization, for the splendid contribu: tion she rendered in connection with this memorable music-fest last Thurs: day night. Mrs. Madison promises tc develop into a soloist of rare attain ment. The race ought to be proud of her. 1 The last of the series of mysica exhibitions for the season will be ob |served some time during the montt of March. Whilst initiative will be the choir of the People’s church, yet the effort is one for the community. With this end in view one of the great est chorus productions of the Negrc race in this country can be realized fn Denver. The pieces are the com. positions of the most talented Negroes today. The old plantation songs which call for mirth and humor when sung by colored people to white folks, good ‘as these songs are, are not staged for the concert. The selections are the weightier deliverances of the literary and musical-giants of the race. Every line, yea, every word is highly signif cant as to the higher emancipation of the race. Tenors, bassos and altos of secular or church organizations can be admitted to the choir for this specific morkahyaappliaen Oxne: DE rector, J. A, Thos.Hazell.

GOLDEN RULE THE GUIDE Branch of National Association For the Advancement of Colored People Exhibits Spirit of Co-operation and Thrift—Segregation is a Backward Step Toward Slavery. The Louisville (Ky.) branch of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People is exhibiting a fine spirit of thrift and co-operation. For the new year it selected as its first speaker the well known and scholarly advocate of equal legal rights and justice for his race, Dr. C. V. Roman of Nashville, Tenn., whose subject was "Let Us Go Forward," being a plea for a wider vision of man's obligation and duty to his fellow man. Dr. Roman in part said: "Conceived in no spirit of racial exclusiveness, fostering no ethnic antag P. G. V. BOMAN, M. D. onism, but born of the exigency of American environment, the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People has for its object the advancement of colored people by advancing mankind. Prejudice is always narrow, always ignorant, always mean. But there are degrees of narrowness, ignorance and meanness. In our efforts at racial advancement we have been narrow in that we have thought too exclusively of ourselves. We have been ignorant in that we have been too much influenced by outside opinions—have imitated and sought too much the ideals of others. "Imitation is fattery, but fattery seldom brings either confidence, friendship or respect. We have been mean in that we have continually fought each other. But we have never been narrow enough to want to deny the other fellow the right to live on the earth nor ignorant enough to think we alone have right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness nor mean enough to make race a test for citizenship. "Segregation is one of the oldest weapons in the arsenal of tyranny. It is a backward step toward slavery. Segregation says to its victim, Thou shalt not go where I object." Slavery says, Thou shalt go where I will. In fact, segregation is negative slavery. All it needs is a secure footing to become positive. "The fight against segregation is a fight against slavery—that is, according to President Wilson, a fight in the interest of peace, for the president says 'peace is going to come to the world only with liberty.' Conservatism is always fortified by ominous apprehensions. The request for liberty is always met by the prophecy of disaster. 'All is well; no improvement necessary,' is the cry of success. 'Stand pat' is never the slogan of the man whose corn are being stood on, however much the standpatter may object to moving. "Let us get concrete and take a practical example from real life. "Mr. A. owns a tract of unoccupied suburban land. Mr. B. owns some sanitary, dilapidated alley property from which he is deriving a handsome revenue. Rev. C. is a colored minister interested in the moral and hygienic welfare of his parishioners. He advises them to move out of those undesirable quarters, but is informed that there are no other houses that colored people can rent. Not to be balked, the Rev. C. finds Mr. A. and shows him the advantage of putting up rent houses on his unoccupied land. It looks good to Mr. A., and he proceeds to act. Mr. B. hears of it and sets about to keep his tenants. He at once elicits the aid of all the saloon keepers and other merchants profiting by this trade. "Other landlords similarly situated are natural allies. These form a nucleus for an organization to prevent Negroes from encroaching upon the residential portion of the city," etc. Mr. A. is cailed or browbeaten from his project, or a campaign of segregation is inaugurated under the banner of 'race purity,' and the bar sinister is raised against any one who would dare speak of justice, fair play, democracy or humanity when 'white supremacy is at stake.'" CONFERENCE AT TRAINING SCHOOL Ministers of All Denominations to Meet at Durham, N. C. In Invitation He Outlines Program of Work That Will Prove Helpful to Race—Assisted Ably by Dr. S. N. Vass of Durham, Superintendent of Religious Work. In keeping with its progressive policy and efficiency in doing things the National Training school, Durham, N. C., closed its work for the first month of 1917 with good results. As a precursor of the conference for ministers of all denominations to be held at the institution for a week, beginning on Feb. 10, President James E. Shepard arranged for and held a series of lectures at the school in January. The course of Bible lectures was delivered by the Rev. Dr. S. N. Vass of Raleigh, N. C. Dr. Vass is the superintendent of religious work, representing the American Baptist Publication society, among our people. He is one of the ablest lecturers on the Bible that the colored race has yet produced. He has been connected with the above named society for over a quarter of a century and has done a great work of enlightenment among our people. He has delivered lectures throughout the country, serving under the auspices of some of the largest and most representative religious and educational institutions among both races. As the work of the National Training school of Durham, N. C., increases in efficiency, the more Dr. James E. Shep- AVERY AUDITORIUM AT NATIONAL TRAINING SCHOOL, DURHAM, N. C. AVERY AUDITORIUM AT NATIONAL TRAINING SCHOOL, DURHAM, N. C. ard, president of the institution, seems to feel the responsibility of making the school a more effective agency for uplifting the masses of our people. In order to reach the masses in the most direct and helpful way Dr. Shearpd believes in thoroughly competent leaders in the various lines of business and the professions. Dr. Shearpd has issued the following invitation, which is not only timely, but of farreaching significance: "The National Training school extends a cordial greeting to the ministers of all denominations to be the guests of the school for one week, beginning Feb. 10, 1917, and closing Feb. 16, 1917, for the purpose of discussing the following kindred questions: "What is the moral condition of the people of your community? Is crime on the increase? If not, what is the cause of its reduction? "What is the attitude of your community, as far as you know, as to lynching? Have you ever attempted interracial co-operation along civic, moral and religious lines? Do the ministers of both races ever meet for conference? "What is the sanitary condition? What effort, if any, has been made to improve the sanitary condition? "Is the death rate increasing? "To what extent do you co-operate with civic improvement leagues? "Has settlement work been conducted to any extent in your community, and with what results? "What has been the effect of temperance organizations, and have you co-operated with them? "To what extent has the work of the Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. C. A. been effective in your community? Do you approve of them? "What is the general attitude of the day schoolteacher toward the church and Sunday school? "What is the religious condition of our people? Revivals, how conducted? "The conference will be farreaching in its power for good. We earnestly desire your presence. "For any additional information ad dress President James E. Shepard, Durham, N. C."

Our attention has just been called to the famous Jones-Shafroth bill touching the government of Porto Rico. We have asked the senator for a copy of his bill which we are told intends to put the Porto Ricans in slavery to American customs and prejudice. We advise every Negro who reads this article to write Senator Shafroth for a copy of his bill and then study it. Remember, Senator Shafroth comes up soon for re-election. Get busy, everybody, especially N. A. A. C. P. Who'll lead off in the matter? The Denver Star is interested in House Bill 264 and Senate Bill 214. Watch them. Everybody get the Collier's Weekly of Jan. 27th and read the '.Negro' by Julian Street. It's worth reading. Housewives, has it ever occurred to you that you could help the race by hiring Negro Ash haulers and keep that 50 cents within the race line? The reason that the American Woodmen today can hire nearly 10 persons is that other Negroes have made it possible with their money. Have you helped them or the Western Life or the Union Health and Accident Co., that employs all white. Why can't you take the hint and let your small earnings build up your own race to the end that our young race girls can be employed? Why not? Mrs. Wm. Jones wishes to extend to her many friends her heartfelt thanks for the favors shown during the long period of illness of her husband and special thanks are extended to the following ladies for the beautiful floral offerings: Mrs. N.

Concord Baptist Sunday School, Brooklyn, Losses Efficient General Secretary. Mrs. Fannie M. Perkins-Hamlin, who has been the general secretary of the Concord Baptist Sunday school in Brooklyn for the past twenty-five years, has resigned. She is the wife of Robert P. Hamlin, one of the international secretaries of the Young Men's Christian association. Mr. Hamlin's headquarters are in Washington. Mr. and Mrs. Hamlin left for Washington on Thursday, Feb. 1, where they will make their future home. Before leaving Brooklyn Mrs. Hamlin was given a magnificent reception by the officers and teachers of the Sunday school and a purse containing more than a dollar for each year of her official connection with the school. Superintendent N. B. Dodson paid a glowing tribute to Mrs. Hamlin for her efficient work as secretary and instructor of the teacher training class. There were also brief addresses in praise of Mrs. Hamlin's work by the pastor, the Rev. Dr. William M. Moss, and Miss Dorothea M. Scott, one of the teachers. Mrs. Hamlin has also been a public school kindergarten teacher in Brooklyn for about fifteen years. Banks as Leader in Religious Work. Charles Banks, superintendent of the Bethany Baptist Sunday school, Newark, N. J., deserves much credit for his efforts to create a wider and deeper interest in Sunday school work. Through Mr. Banks' efforts a largely attended mass meeting was held at the above named church on Sunday afternoon, Jan. 21. The address of the day was delivered by N. B. Dodson, president of the New England Baptist Sunday school convention. The program consisted of solos, declamations and short talks on methods of work for graded Sunday schools.

Washington.—The alumni of Howard throughout the country are awakening to the meaning of the celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of that institution at Washington, March 1, 2 and 8, as being of great moment in its meaning to them as well as to their alma mater. The plan already in operation contemplates the revival of local associations and the organization of others where three or more of Howard graduates reside. In each of these localities, through these associations or groups of the alumni, arrangements are being perfected for a celebration on March 2 concurrent with the big celebration in this city, when each association or group of the alumni will be represented by a delegate. The meeting of March 1 will be held in Convention hall and will assume a general public character. On March 2 historical night will be celebrated at the First Congregational church and on March 3 the alumni will be give en the day, which will take the plan of a reunion of departments in the forenoon, luncheon at noon as guests of the university, and in the afternoon a grand rally. At night a reception will close the celebration. It is further planned that the alumni will complete their $10,000 alumni gymnasium fund started in 1908, to ward which they have in hand $2,000 in cash and more than $0,000 pledged. The plan which is now being circulated individually among the alumni is to have each alumnus contribute on or before March 2 in time to be announced at the public celebration $1 for each year he or she may have been out from the university up to ten years, after that $1 for each five years or multiple thereof, thus placing it in the reach of all. Those who have pledged are urged to make good at once, as they are counted on to raise this fund. Local associations at Baltimore, Chicago, Cincinnati, Dallas, Denver, Huntington, W. Va.; Kansas City, Mo. Kingston, Jamaica, B. W. I.; Los Angeles, Louisville, Ky.; Lynchburg, Va. Muskogee, Okla.; New York, New Jersey, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Richmond, Va., and Wheeling, W.

Pledges and contributions may be sent through the offices of the General Alumni association. 639 F street, N. W., or the treasurer of Howard university, and will be acknowledged by return mail. Dr. Robert R. Moton is Optimistic. Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of the Tuskegee (Ala.) institute, in discussing the migration of large numbers of colored people from the south to the north says: "Sooner or later the farmers, business men and scientists are going to get together very seriously, and the boll weevil is bound to be exterminated. Then cotton will continue as king and the Negro who remains and helps to fight the boll weevil pest will share richly in the production of cotton and other forms of prosperity which are sure to come in the south. We must make up our minds that our chances for work, for homemaking and for developing are just as good in Alabama as anywhere else in the world." Notwithstanding the many handicaps of the colored people in their efforts to better their condition, they are making considerable progress. Besides the small pay they get for their services, they are handcapped in the education of their children, especially in the south, where the rural school term is not more than half as long as those in the north. Nevertheless the majority of the ablest members of the race in intellectually are natives of the south.

Justice and Liberty Are For All, Says Scholarly Physician. In concluding his address before the local branch of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People at Louisville, Ky., Dr. C. V. Roman of Nashville, Tenn., quoted President Wilson as having said in a recent address delivered in New York: "Peace is going to come to the world only with liberty." "Truer words never were spoken. As long as men refuse to be just, so long will nature deny them justice. As long as men desire to oppress, so long will men suffer oppression. Justice and liberty are for all or for none. Let us help the white man to find freedom and justice, for where his is there is ours also. "According to the philosopher Kant, there are three kinds of judgment—problematic, assortory and appodictic. To reach the truth we must be careful not to confuse these different kinds of judgments, for they are of very different evidential value. In plain American newspaper English, they are guesses, opinions and facts. "While everybody recognizes a guess, many intelligent people confuse facts and opinions. A disregard of facts is usually joined to a tenacious adherence to personal opinion. Out of this position grow most controversies. The present condition of Europe is a splendid illustration. It is evident that the value of a fact depends upon its inherent worth and has nothing to do with the character or intelligence of its discoverer or presenter. Now, the very opposite is true of opinions. The value of a man's opinions depends not only upon his honor, but upon his intelligence; not only upon his willingness to tell the truth, but his ability to do so. "I ask the American public to scan carefully the character of negrophobes. Personally I have never found one that was both intelligent and honest. These qualities are plentiful among negrophobes, but they are always separate. As soon as you mix them negrophobia disappears. The honest ones are ignorant, and those that are not ignorant are not honest. Compare Senator Vardaman and Hon. Henry Watterson on the race question. "To live appreciatively in the world requires perspective. The chief constituent of social efficiency is intelligent sympathy or good will. Sympathy as a desirable quality is something more than mere feeling; it is a cultivated imagination for what men have in common and a rebellion at whatever unnecessarily divides them. Segregation is an enemy of progress. In the seventeenth and eleighteenth verses of the sixteenth chapter of his letter to the Romans St. Paul says: "Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offenses contrary to the doctrine which we have learned and avoid taem. "For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly, and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple." DOUGLASS FUND CAMPAIGN. Special Days Announced on Which Public May Make Contributions. Information received from various sections of the country indicates that the campaign of the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs for funds with which to pay off the indebtedness on the Frederick Douglass home at Washington is succeeding admirably. The Sunday schools, literary societies and other organizations are asked to contribute to the fund. Mrs. Mary B. Talbert, president of the association, is urging members of the race the country over to give the efforts of the organization hearty support. Public exercises are to be held wherever possible on Sunday, Feb. 11, and Wednesday, Feb. 14, the birthday of Frederick Douglass. At these public meetings every one is requested to make a contribution to the fund. Dr. Powell Speaks on "An Easy way to Hell." The Central Baptist church, St. Louis, the Rev. Dr. George E. Stevens, pastor, is enjoying a season of great spiritual awakening. The series of special gospel meetings which were begun the third week in January have been productive of much good. Besides the hearty co-operation of some of the ministers in St. Louis, Dr. Stevens has been assisted in these meetings by the Rev. Dr. A. Clayton Powell, pastor of the Abyssinian Baptist church, New York, who will remain in St. Louis until about Feb. 5. Powell's subject for Sunday evening was "An Easy Way to Hell." He has been preaching every night since Jan. 17 and was as vigorous in thought and voice Wednesday evening, Jan. 31, as he was when he arrived in St. Louis early in January. Mitchell Appointed Deputy Sheriff. The National Negro Press association extends congratulations to the Hon. J. E. Mitchell, managing editor of the St. Louis Argus, on his appointment as deputy sheriff in the office of Sheriff G W. Weinbrenner at St. Louis. Mr. Mitchell is an active member of the Press association and has made good as an editor. New Castle (Pa.) Elks Install Officers. Lawrence lodge No. 18.

Mr. Walker recently purchased the lease and holdings of the Marian Hotel, located at 1835-7-9 Arapahoe street, and is sparing neither palms nor expense in making the Dunbar, as it will be known in the future, the equal, if not the finest of its kind in the United States. New furnishings and equipment throughout are being installed and an added feature in Mr. Walker's great effort which our Denver folks will gladly welcome and appreciate, will be a banquet hall within, fully equipped in furnishings, decorations, illuminations, etc., fitted with an elegant hardwood floor which renders same suitable and purposely adapted for banquets, private dinners and dancing parties, musicals, lodges, etc. Mr. Irving Williams of Chicago, well known by the people of Denver and for the past seven years connected with the Burlington R. R. commissary department, has been chosen as manager. Announcement of the grand opening and reception will be found later in these columns. The barn dance at East Turner, given by Billy Knight and Edward Jackson, was a grand success. ODD FELLOW MEMORIES KEPT GREEN-LOYAL MEMBERS RING TRUE. Never in the history of the Order of Odd Fellows has such a loyal, patriotic and devoted demonstration been made evincing the true love for the departed and absent brothers, sisters and juveniles as was shown Tuesday night at Odd Fellows' hall, crowded to the doors. Men whose feebled and sickened condition was apparent struggled up the stairs and were present; women who also were ill, forgetful of themselves, came out and the juveniles were out to show how devoted they were to their dead members. True loyalty and sincere devotion was shown in the extempore talks by Mrs. Mahala Phillips on the memory of Mrs. Etta Mann Gordon, and by J. W. Jackson on our late Frank C. Payne. The program was carried out as written and all persons were requested, to reduce their eulogies to writing so that the historian of the order may later use them. Brother T. S. Rector was appointed to furnish the early data of the social, religious and financial conditions of our pioneers in the order. A grand time was passed. Keep off of the cate, February 12, 1917.

BARNETT DODSON, One of the most helpful and influen tal agencies for advancement in edu cation, business and social service i Virginia is the Negro Organization 80 clety, of which Major Allen Washing ton of the Hampton institute ts presi dent. Through the efforts of this or ganization and the co-operation of the people of the rural districts the term: of many of the county schools have }een lengthened, better prepared teach ers secured and better schoolhouses provided. | The work of the society is both edu ‘cational and philanthropic. It has actually taught the people how to hel themselves in the matter of guarding against disease, owning their homes and securing funds for longer schoo terms. During its brief existence of about four years the society has made it possible for the white people of the varlous communities to see and know more of the handicap under which the colored people labor—thelr struggles aspirations and achievements, Thus the two races have come to know each other better, and this has brought about a more friendly feeling between the rural masses of both races in the state. It is the aim of the organization so clety to have every secret or mutual Rated avelaty sey Club yes een men bers of the one general body, just as the churches of the various religious denominations belong to one general conference, convention or assembly. Upon the same principle as the churehes the socleties may hold’ mem berships in the organization society without losing their individuality. By this method the spirit of co-operation and mutual helpfulness is felt through: out the state. Besides the efficient leaders among the colored people who are officials and workers in the society, there are many able influential and broadminded white Persons who are co-operating heartily in the work. Major Washington was elected to the presidency at the an- nual meeting of the soclety held at Roanoke, Va., in November, 1916. He succeeded Dr. Robert I. Moton, who had to decline a re-election on account of his duties as principal of the Tuske- gee institute. Major Washington 1s Keeping the work steadily before the People of Virginia and is formulating plans for an effective spring campaign in the state. BELIEVES IN EQUAL RIGHTS. William D. Brigham's Remarkable Let- ter to Race Through the Guardian. Boston.—A remarkable episode in race affairs has taken place here. A practical friend of the race was taken down with pneumonia recently. Ed- itor W. Trotter, as secretary of ghe Equal Rights league, which is urging the race to hold Douglass centenaries under. Equal Kights committees, sent word to the pastors of the various churches of his friend's condition, and prayers were offered in their churches for his recovery. This friend is now recovering and has sent the following letter of sincere gratitude to the Bos- ton Guardian, of which Mr. Trotter is the editor: Dorchester, Mass., Jan. 17, 1917 Dear Friends—I have been during the lant four weeks critically 111 with pneumo- nia and walking in ‘the Valley of the Shadow of Death”—1 am giad 10 may walking in it and not through \t-and 1 am waiting these lines to express my deep- est gratitude for the prayers offered for me in the colored churches and homew of my friends in Greater Boston, ‘There are two sides to the equation when one has a day and a night nurse, a physician calling two or three times. # day, a pneumonia specialist from the olty and a tank of oxygen in un adjoining room ready for sudden use. It 1s dificult to say how much of a recovery Is due to human skill and how much to prayer, but I firmly belleve that prayers offered by those who have the ear of God affect the result. Many such live in humble homes and are unknown tothe world, but I be- Meve that ‘‘prayer moves the hand that moves the world.” | T suppose those who believe in sesrega- tion will agree that prayer 1s colorless— that there ts no such thing as black pray- ers and white prayers. It {x almost worth While to have been so sick for the sake of recetving such evidences of love and affection and appreciation as were went to me and which I was only able to have Fead to me during the Int few days During my slckned® I thought of Tenny- son's lines: “And may there be no moaning of the bar When I put out to sea.”” Tam glad to have struck some blows for equality and only wish they hud been harder. Let each of us be found with hfs face to the foe, fighting for freedom and equal rights, and then when the last hour comes each one of us will have un- derneath him tho everlasting arms and can say: “1 hope to nee my Pilot face to face ‘When I have croszed the bar.” May I ask all who were kind enough to remember me to receive this expressior of my gratitude in plewe of a personal acknowledgment, Sincerely, , ~ ‘WILLIAM D.

Data on pledge cards consist- ing of name, department and class and acircular of information and reminder tags were distributed. This was fol- lowed up on the eve of the meeting with notification cards by mail calling attention to the date and hour and re- questing attendance. Long before the appointed hour the chapel began to take on an air of en- lvenmént, and throngs could be seen approaching from all directions. The entrance of the study body, which was the guest of the alumni, was the signal for college yells, aud when seated songs of Howard and class composi- tions, alternating from side to side of the chapel, presented one of the most encouraging scenes ever witnessed by the alumni in the history of the unl- versity. Chairman R. A. Pelham of the get- together committee called the meeting to order and introduced Rev. D. E. Wiseman, president of the local as- sociation, who called upon Dr. Stephen M, Newman, president of the univer- sity, for the invocation. Following the invocation Rev, Wiseman presented in a neat address the cavse and work of the local association for Howard. His closing was greeted by yells and songs, and student life was at its height, the alumni making a close second. After brief speeches had been made vy Professor Thomas W. Turner, Rev. J. D. Pair, Dr, W. A. Warfield, Thom- as Walker and John R, Hawkins the stereopticon part of the program, with R. A. Pelham in charge and acting as interlocutor, presented in a pleasing, witty and jocular vein scenes and incl- dents in university and alumni life and local surroundings. The machine was operated by Mr. Piper. 8, J. Davidson, president of the Gen- eral Alumni association, was intro- duced by Rev. D, E. Wiseman and briefly outlined the country wide ef- fort to “get together’—get together for the work of the university; get togeth- er for the influence of comradeship among the alumni; get together for the completion of the pledge of the $10,- 000 for the alumni gymnasium fund and “stay together when we get to- gether.” ‘The representatives from the pro- fessional, business and lay walks of life who are graduates of the univer- sity and who lave made good were in evidence on the screen and in person. The plan of this meeting is being urged throughout the country. Sev- eral of the associations are on record as having carried out such a plan, among them being Dallas, Tex.; Rich- mond, Va; New York, New Jersey and vicinity and Chicago. ‘The committee on arrangements and program for the “get together meet- ing” consisted of R.

May 5, 1910, a Settlement was started upon Government land in Weld County, where 20,000 acres in one body was open for homesteading. One settler filed on 320 acres as a desert claim, and one filed on 160 acres as a homestead claim. These men talked with their friends and got others in- Building Dearfield Land Office terested in the plan, and now there are sixty families occupying 15,000 acres of the 20,000 acres. The other 5,000 acres has since been taken up by a good class of white settlers. Within a radius of twenty miles around Dearfield Settlement there are as many more colored families and farmers. There are now in Eastern Colorado five hundred colored families on farms and two thousand Negro farmers and farm hands. O. T. Jackson, founder of Colorado Town, Dearfield, Colo. The Dearfield Settlement has a Townsite platted on state land consisting of 480 acres. There are eight blocks of town lots for business and residence, and unplatted blocks of 5 and 10 acres (less streets) surrounding the Town adapted to dairying, poultry raising, and truck farming. In the Town there is a city well, a cement block factory, a blacksmith shop, telephone, and a church building. The Town is now building up and all kinds of business is wanted to supply the farmers, as they are prosperous and are spending from $20,000 to $25,000 per annum in the towns around Making Cement Blocks which are from 10 to 20 miles away, besides their mail orders and shipments from Denver and other places. The products of the farms are increasing and there is now a marketable crop in this community of $250,000 per year produced by the Negro and white settlers in and around Dearfield. There is also a great demand for mechanics and farm laborers. The opportunities offered in Dearfield for location and investment are unsurpassed in the United States for Negroes of business ability and small capital. There is an opening in Dearfield for every branch of business that is conducted in any established community. Now is the time for the young man to start in and grow up with the prosperity of Dearfield. The farmers have had five years the start of the town, and anyone establishing a business in Dearfield has the prosperous farmers, colored and white, as a guarantee of support to his business. No class of people is more welcome in Colorado than the good farmer or business man or woman. Colorado needs 150,000 farmers and farm hands, business men and women, to grow and handle the products we are now importing from other states for our own use. Colorado has an area of 66,000,000 acres of land with a population of only 800,000, and only one-eighth of the land occupied, and two-thirds of her population in the cities and towns, thus leaving open the greatest opportunity for good farmers and for the building of thousands of new communities by white and colored settlers. The white settlers are here and are yet coming by the thousands. The Negro will have to hurry if he expects to partake of the golden opportunities of Colorado, which no other state in the Union offers. At the rate the lands and resources of Colorado are being gobbled up by foreigners and southerners the last call will soon be heard. Shall we as a race put off until at last too late? Dearfield Town Settlement has laid a great foundation for the building of the wealthiest Negro community in the world because of its productive soil, its climatic conditions, its close proximity to water, fuel, railroads, and the best market in the world which always has a demand for your product. Now is the time for the young Negro to become interested in the Town of Dearfield and be counted in its history as one of Dearfield's progressive pioneers in business. To those who lot or tracts within the next six months (beginning February 1, 1917) for business purposes we will give every inducement possible, for WE NEED YOUR BUSINESS NOW to furnish the farm Inspecting Cement Blocks by Prospective Builders with supplies and to handle their marketable crops. We want 50 families to build up the Town of Dearfield. REFERENCES Senator John F. Shafroth, Senate Chamber, Washington, D. C. Ex-Governor Ellias M. Ammons, 340 Gas and Electric Building, Denver.

WALKER Rose to Prominence In Several Good Movements. MASTERED HIS PROBLEMS Grand Keeper of Records and Seals For Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias of Arkansas, Wins Success by Persistent Effort—Trustee of Shorter College, at Argenta. Dermott, Ark.—T. J., Walker, grand keeper of records and seals of the grand lodge of Knights of Pythias of this state, is a wide awake business man and one of the best bookkeepers in this section. He took time in preparing himself for a useful life. Like most men of the race who have made good, he was born on a farm. He is a native of Wilkerson county, Miss, but was reared in the state of Louisiana. Getting an education was a difficult problem for him, because in the parts of Louisiana where he spar T. J. WALKER T. J. WALKER. his boyhood days the school term was only three months in each year for the colored children. Notwithstanding this limited time, he made good use of every opportunity by making each day count for something. He had but little time to play. Work and study were his daily tasks. It was in his sixteenth year that he had to quit school and go to work in order to assist his three sisters in getting an education, and this was a sad blow to him, because he did not enter school again except as a visitor. But he had pluck and push and had long before declared that he was going to make good in life. He worked in the day and used the nights for study instead of seeking a good time. Entertainments were shunned by him. He found enjoyment in his studies and with his work, and by constant study he has won his way and now ranks with the best informed men of the race. He stands in the front ranks in Arkansas as a leader. Step by step he has made his way to the front in church and state. He has been interested in everything that means uplift for his race. His hand has ever been extended to the young men who sought to advance themselves. No one has ever been turned away who appealed to him for help. Mrs. Walker is one of the teachers in the public school here. They own a lovely home and some other good real estate. Mr. Walker is a member of the Knights of Pythias and has been an active worker for years. He won promotions in his subordinate lodge, filling every position. The members, recognizing in him a man of rare ability, elected him their grand representative, feeling that their interest would be protected by him. He was true to his trust, and while others were out enjoying themselves he was doing his committee work. This attracted the attention of other representatives. In 1913 his name was mentioned for the position of grand keeper of records and seals, and he was indorsed by the grand lodge; hence he was elected over two others and has been elected each year since. He is filling the position and is indeed a busy man. He enjoys the confidence and love of the grand chancellor, H. A. Avant. In the A. M. E. church he is an active member and was honored by his conference with the election of trustee of Shorter college. Argenta. Ark. He is also an active member of the laymen's educational movement in this state. Mr. Walker is interested in his people and is always ready to do anything he can for racial advancement. Progress at Rescue Mission For Men. The promoters of the Rescue Mission For Men, in charge of the Rev. A. M. Patterson, in Pittsburgh, have succeeded in starting a Bible class with a competent instructor. Donations of religious periodicals, daily and weekly papers will be thankfully received. The upkeep of the work is by free will gifta. The mission is located at 35 Fullerton street. Young People Crown Themselves with Glory in Musical Denver should be proud of her churches and their progressive ideas coupled with certain ideals. It was Zion that first initiated the Musical activity by going to our city Auditorium with the Williams' Jubilee Singers and there pulling down one of the greatest successes known to Denver. Shorter has crowded time and again to a jammed capacity, her spacious church with such musicians as Clarence Cameron White, Blind Boone, Hahn's Jubilee Singers and Mme. Hackley, as artists with a rousing testimonial given to Mme. Dishman. But it remained for the Presbyterian Church, after a crowning effort of the Byron Troubadours at the Auditorium, to adopt the peculiar plan of taking exceptional pupils of music and bringing them before the public in the form of a musical exhibition, so that their audience could appreciate thoroly their efforts and struggles.

Supreme Commander White Delivers Stirring Address On Southern Conditions On the occasion of the Sixteenth Anniversary Celebration of the American Woodmen at Zion Baptist Church Tuesday night, a splendid program was presented to a large and appreciative audience. The selection of Morrison's Orchestra was up to the usual excellence of this detonsumcit1234 excellence of this noted musical trio. Zion's Chorus, led by Miss Thrashley, were all present and rendered some of their most choice selectiona We might go on and name the entire program using nothing but superlatives, for indeed every number was a treat by itself. We must mention, however, the side-splitting monologue of the incomparable Charles Muse. Mr. Thomas Campbell gave some facts and figures that opened the eyes of the public to the great accomplishments of the American Woodmen, and its high record as an insurance institution. After the program a large number came forward and joined the ranks of the local camp here. Refreshments, consisting of oysters, chocolate, etc., were served in the spacious reception room. Already steps have been instituted by the local camp here for caring for the great National Convention which is to meet here in August. All candidates and members of the camp are requested to meet at Odd Fellows Hall, regular meeting, Feb. 22nd, 2630 Welton St. Especially all new members are requested to meet. WHITE BLOCKS AND BLACK BLOCKS LATER Understand the Nemisia of our present color line agitation is "The Birth of a Nation." Fully weigh and thoughtfully consider that this blow is only the opening wedge of separating all the Negroes into white blocks and black blocks to be later accomplished. First silently and secretly separate the leaders or the representative in the race, then the others must follow. It is up to you, either stand by your professional class, who were put out by the agents because of the pressure, or stand by the color-blind tenants who kicked. Which? If you are with us, then call up by phone every white friend you know in the Kittredge building and ask him his attitude, and if he complained, etc., so that the Kittredge building could be known as "color line building."
