Denver Star

The Denver Star ESTABLISHED 1883 TWENTY-SEVENTH YEAR Number 176 DENVER, GOLORADO, SATURDAY, FEB. 24, 1917 MEASURE THE MAN KILL SENATE BILL 426 Senator Eaton [Republican] Stabs at Negroes---Pure Case of Rank Prejudice--- Shall Race and Color be the Colorado Standard? Why did not this brilliant and erudite Senator introduce such an infamous slam at the Negro in the 20th Assembly when the Republicans had the majority? Who ever heard of a learned Senator including in an "incest bill" matter or miscegenation or intermarrying of whites and Negroes or Mullatoes? Why does he want to use his position to stab us in the back and spit in our faces by bringing forward at this time the discussion of the intermarriage between the white and Negro or Mullatoes (not colored races, mind you) when we have a miscegenation law upon the Statute books? Why is he so willing and anxious to slap at the Negro in bill No. 426, when he did not mention such matter in bill No. 425? Is it because the Negroes defeated and buried forever his leader, Governor Carlson at the last election and he, the last dying ember of the Carlson regime is trying to get "back" at the independence of the Negroes thought and action by this attempted humiliation? Think of it, in Colorado there are Hindu, Slavs, Greeks, Swedes, Germans, Irish, Syrians, Austrians, Japanese, Mexicans, Italians, Chinese, Russians, Jews and Indians besides Negroes, yet this ardent Republican Senator, whom the Negroes helped to elect, picked them out, insulted by particularly designating them, as social lepers in a bill defining and punishing incest. Assemblymen, has not Colorado enough of Color and race in her laws already upon her statute books? Will you let this young and egotistic late Senator crystallize his prejudice and warped views into unnecessary laws to the shame; of the 1st Assembly and the State of Colorado? Why did he introduce two bills, one with Negro matter and one without, if he did not want to show his utter abject contempt for a part of the voters that put him in office? Why did he not include any other race or even use the term "Colored"; the reprehensible purpose is evident thru his ungrateful act. Today in Colorado and in the State Assembly, out of all of the democrats and republicans, ONE republican Senator has seen fit to include in his bill against incest "the matter of intermarriage of Negroes or Mullatoes with whites." He might as well included the demand that such social courtesies of applying the titles of "Mr." "Mrs" or "Miss" be denied to Negroes or Mullattoes. Republican Assemblyman Eaton wants a fight, a stirring up of the race issue in order to placard his ideas in Colorado laws. In every walk of life we meet discrimination, based soley on race and color, but continually and persistently misrepresent to the world as the natural difference due to condition We are, for instance, usually forced to live in the worst quarters, and our consequent death rate is noted as a race trait, and reason for further discrimination. When we seek to buy property in better quarters we are sometimes in danger of mob violence or actual legislation to prevent our sanitary and civic aspirations. We are forced to take lower wages for equal work and our standard of living is then criticised. Labor unions refuse us admittance, and then claim as "Scabs" we lower the price of labor. A persistent caste proscription seeks to force us and confine us to menial occupations where conditions of work are the worst. Even in Colorado our women are without the proper protection of the law, and now Senator Eaton wants to go one step further and put them into a condition where he can easily call them lewd by making Colorado have such a public policy toward Negro women alone. The Negro is making his qualities just as good and in some cases better, than those of the varied mixed racial breeds, and he simply asks that his proved qualities shall count the same as those of his undisturbed and favored neighbors. He does not ask for EXTRA standing room, or for SPECIAL standing room but only SIMILAR standing room to that which this country was organized to give all men of sober lives and industrious habits. With especial favor and studied care, has, not a single Democratic Senator in the 21st Assembly introduced any bill where reference is made to Negroes or white, but on the other hand from the Governor on down to the leaders of the Senate, Senators Adams and West also Coldren with others have gone out of their way to encourage and assist Negro thrift and advancement. Contrast this Republican psuedo Negro-phrobist with Senators Starkweather, Hattenback and Knauss. This session would have been one general assembly where no billls attacking Negroes specially, would have been introduced except for this Lily white Republican Kind reader is this asking a great deal on the part of the Negro and yet it is depriving him of a good deal if he does not get what he asks for and to which he is entitled. It is not the political wrong in itself that disturbs the Negro, but the social wrong of living in a country where he has no equal place in the thought and heart life to stand for himself and by himself and measure arms. All other citizens have this place for themselves and by themselves, and he, being after all, a human being knows perfectly well that his right to such a place for himself is incontestable. In a free land, where public rights are the main thing, he is shut out from his rights to a fair and equal chance to make of himself what he can. In Colorado Senator Eaton who about 8 years ago was the messenger evidence gatherer in the office of late District Attorney E. V. Elliott, has for some reason, real or unreal, known or unknown, prejudice or fanciful to himself and some others introduced into the 21st Assembly 2 marriage bills whose main objects are to define and punish incest. Senate Bill No. 426 unlike No. 425 altho the latter contains the same language as the former with the exception of the clause "and marriages between Negroes or Mutilatoes of either sex and white persons are declared to be absolutely void." Think of that! Is this Senator of Kentucky extraction attempting to frantically raise the race issue in the Assembly? Has at any time before or since the passage of the miscegenation law, the Negro ever shown any inclination to kidnap and marry white women or vice versa? If colored races intermarry, why does he stigmatize the Negro with an enactment proclaiming him so different from all the rest? Let the author stand up in the Assembly and answer with facts, figures and his rich information, and not with his impulses and prejudice. Colorado wants to hear the truth and anxiously awaits your data which caused you to covertly attack in an "incest bill" the peaceful and progressive element of citizens. Let the public know, whether Colorado is being threatened more today with white and black marriages than ever before. Show up the menacing and impending flood only to be avoided by your timely assistance. Why did this Senator of eccentric intelligence omit certain classes of people, unaccustomed to our manners, unlike in disposition, ignorant of our laws, customs and habits and unappreciative of our Country's and States struggles? The Assembly is not a place to show race prejudice or vindictiveness caused because of Governor Carlson's defeat. Is this the last dying pulsation of the Carlson administration of which he figured so prominently? That is to say that a marriage contract or a contractual relation valid where made is declared to be absolutely void in Colorado because (Mr.) Senator Eaton declares the same to be so. Yet section I, Art. IV, U. S. Constitution says: "Full faith and credit SHALL be given in each state to the public acts, records, and Judicial proceedings of every other State". But Senator Eaton is trying to put such a law on our statute book, (making Colorado like Carolina or Kentucky, his former home), knowing that any state can demand the recognition of its laws in another state if they are deemed by the latter to be impolitic or unjust, or of bad morals or injurious to the rights and interests of its citizens or against its public policy. To enact this unnecessary prejudice into a law would be to declare and settle the policy of free and mountainous Colorado according to the whims and caprices of our erstwhile Messenger-Senator. Does he know that one restriction begets another, that one begets its kind until the Negro is made the exception of all races, as he tries to make him in this bill? Does the Great Republican party of Colorado stand to see this Senator attempt to spread his obnoxious views through their ranks? Why did he not include Japanese, Chinese, Mexicans or colored races? Why? With all these insults, contumely, lynchings, burnings of men, women and children, segregation, ostracism and then to all of these disheartening drawbacks and horrors, including legislative misfit bills and laws against us introduced by men of small calibre, add the cold keen unrelenting economic competition and high cost of living which the Negro has to undergo and pass thru, yet the mind and ambition of the American Negro has grown and will continue to grow. He can pass now the test in owning real estate, acquiring education, being respectful and having a standard of morals equal to the highest and having eminent representatives in religion, inventives, law, fine arts, industry, agriculture and professional and mechanical lines. Slowly, systematically, CONTINUED ON PAGE FOUR Florida White Man Wills Half of his Earthly Possessions to Colored Jacksonville, Fla.—By the will of the late Robert Welborn, a colored woman by the name of Sarah P. Thompson is to receive $125,000. The estate of Mr. Welborn is estimated at from $225,000 to $250,000. John B. Reilly and E. B. Kurtz are named as executors of the will. The will was made January 3, 1916. The will bequeaths Mrs. Conrad Schmidt all of the property owned by Mr. Welborn in the Security Land Co., except that which lies within the city limits. To J. H. Taylor he gives any land that he may own in section 20 township 51, range 41. To Dr. N. S. Burnham he gave all the property he owned in Palm Beach county. "To Sarah P. Thompson, colored, who nursed me thru a severe illness without pay, I give lots 16, 17 and 18, block 22, north, city of Miami, also all property and interest what soever I may have in Jape's subdivision, Erickson's additions to Miami, all of these being additions to Miami. I also give her any money I may have on my person or on deposit in any bank and all my personal effects of any nature whatsoever, and direct all this to be turned over to her within one month of my death." The closing clause of the will reads as follows; "The balance of my estate I give to my wife, Alice Welborn, to be paid to her at the rate of $100 per month for two years. Then it shall be given to her as a whole." Mr. Welborn came to Miami in its early days and his estate has been accumulated since coming here. The witnesses to his will are J. E. Lummus and A. H. Patton. Cancels Dog Tax to Keep Negroes from Leaving Montgomery, Ala.—A new angle to the Negro exodus is reported from Wilcox county. The probate judge of Wilcox reports 1,500 dogs on his tax list, all of them being the property of 1,500 Negroes and they being anable to pay the tax may now rest at ease for the judge stated, that, to make the Negroes pay them by force would drive them from the community, and added further, that he had stopped trying to collect them. Chicago, Ill. —Tony Jackson, a Colored piano player in a city cabaret only received $45 for the great song hit, "Pretty Baby" which scored so heavily in "The Follies." Thousands of dollars have been made off the song by the publishers, while the composer is still pounding the piano every night for a few dollars. Howard University to Celebrate Golden Anniversary With a Reunion of Its Graduates Trustees of Howard University plan to celebrate the Fiftieth Anniversary of the founding of the institution with a Sociological Conference, at which addresses and reports will be made by some of the most distinguished sociologists, teachers and leaders of the Colored race; and also with a Reunion on March 1st, 2nd, and 3rd, of the Alumni, many of whom will probably remain in Washington for the Inauguration on March fifth. Advance figures for the official program of the anniversary show that the university has graduated 4.591 students since 1867. including 1,000 doctors, 844 teachers and bachelors, 771 lawyers, 423 ministers, 324 dentists, 264 pharmacists, 703 from the Academy, and all other departments, 362. Child Holds Off Crowd Columbus, S. C.—The 14 year old daughter of J. P. Bowers, jailer at Hampton, S. C., held off with a pistol a crowd that appeared before the jail Saturday night and demanded David Richards, a Colored man, charged with assaulting a white man. When the girl's brother, fearing she might be injured, took the weapon from her, the man was removed from the jail. Meanwhile Bowers appeared and pleaded that the man's life be spared. The Colored man later was severely, but not mortally beaten. Colored Soldier Wins Iron Cross The Golden West, a Hungarian magazine, makes a note of the fact that Leon Welchin a Colored soldier fighting in the Austrian army, has been decorated with the Iron Cross for bravery under fire. Welchin led a charge against the enemy and, although wounded, pushed on until his aim was accomplished. He is a West Indian who has lived in Austria for many years. Monument to Negro Soldiers Representative Dyer of Missouri, recently introduced a bill in congress to provide a commission to secure plans and designs for a monument to the Negro soldiers "who fought in the wars of the country." and asks that $100,000 be appropriated for that purpose. Thirty-five colored men are employed as conductors and motormen on street cars in Toronto, Canada. The Negro-Mullatto and Chinese suffrage amendment met defeat in Oregon at the recent election.

Mallard met with a very painful accident while at his duties on the railroad, having three ribs fractured, but is doing nicely. Sister Van Winkle was taken to the hospital last week and underwent a serious operation and is doing nicely. Among the new activities of the church will be a federation of auxiliaries to be organized Thursday evening, March 1st.

The selections are the product of Negro brains ranging from choruses and anthems of a Negro religious characteristic by Dott to the weightier compositions of Carl Diton, Will Dixon, Jas. A. Mundy and Coleridge Taylor, etc. Some of these pieces were rendered for the first time in commemoration of the Fiftieth Anniversary of Negro Emancipation by the Chicago Jubilee Chorus. The literary, violin and other parts will be the output of the ablest Negroes of America and Europe. A community well-trained chorus under the auspices of the People's Presbyterian Church Choir will innovate a program of this kind in Denver. Every race man and woman should hear it. Special sermons with special music appropriate for this season of the year can be heard every Lord's Day at 11 o'clock a. m. and 5 o'clock p. m.; also every Wednesday night at the People's Church. The music sung last Sabbath will not be forgotten soon. Sunday coming will be equally as good, if not better. The public is cordially invited. Prospective members are earnestly urged to make their desires known either to the Presbyter-in-charge or to any of the Elders of the Church. The Presbyterial-year 1916-1917 closes March 31st. Delinquent members will do well to govern themselves accordingly. The Moderator, Rev. John Abner Marquls, D. D.; L. L. D.; of the 128th General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church, U. S. A., will address Presbyterians of this region tomorrow at the Central Presbyterian Church. Monday night at 6:30 o'clock the Presbytery of Denver will entertain the Moderator at dinner at the Auditorium Hotel. The Eldership of Presbytery is welcome to this banquet.

Last Sunday the Master gave us four additional souls for the water, Brother George Nevels, Sister Julia Hoard, Jimmie Price and Walter Smith. This makes a total of twelve souls for baptism during these days of preparatory work for our campaign. The earnest, fervent prayers of the church, as witnessed by these first fruits, lead to the rising hope of a gracious visitation during the weeks of protracted meetings. The rite of baptism was administered last Sunday evening, Brother Daniel Hodge was kept away by illness. We are expecting that the six or more candidates for the water will all be present next Sunday. Notwithstanding the heavy snowstorm, the response of the personal workers' teams was very gratifying last Sunday evening at 4 o'clock. About a hundred persons were present. Enthusiasm and eagerness for service was the keynote. Nearly three hundred names have been offered for prayer and the work of personal visitation has begun. There have been many responses on the part of the unsaved, indicating their desire for prayers of the Church and their interest in salvation. When the community of the unsaved become aroused through the activities and papers of the Church, the Word of God will be manifested in great power and be glorified. The pastor constantly urges that every plan, purpose and movement be immersed in intercessory prayer. The Sunday morning sermons for the past six weeks have been an unfolding of the Letter of the Ephesians. These expositions have been wonderfully enlightening to the Church, and the interest becomes keener as the discussion proceeds. Sunday evening's subject was, "The One Lack." Sunday afternoon, at 3 o'clock, Dr. Theodore will open the "Welfare Campaign" in Zion Church. A great outpouring to result from the pulpit and other announcements made during the past two weeks. Our experience with the "Birth of a Nation" should insure the support of every Negro in a campaign against the viscous moving picture. CAMPBELL CHAPEL AFRICAN M. E. CHURCH NOTES. A. M.

Miss McCullough was accorded the unusual honor of appearing twice on the commencement program of Los Angeles High School on the occasion of the graduation of the winter class of '17. Miss McCullough accompanied the chorus in a number and appeared independently at the piano with Chopin's 'Valse Brillinate.' Miss Naida is one of the two charming daughters of Mr. and Mrs. G. A.

Many incidents in the life of Frederick Douglass have been recalled, spoken of and published during the month of February, which marks the one hundredth anniversary of the great anti-slavery orator's birth. In this connection Miss Henrietta Vinton Davis, the noted dramatic reader, relates some interesting recollections of this early leader of our race. Miss Davis says: "Mr. Douglass had been invited to come to Baltimore to dedicate a building that had been purchased by a number of colored men who had associated themselves together in a joint stock company. It was a commodious brick edifice located on Lexington street be- A. HENRIETTA VINTON DAVIS. tween North and Calvert streets. The building had once been used as a hospital by white people, and the first floor was reached by broad granite steps. Entertained by Mise Davis' Parents. "Mr. Douglass accepted the invitation and was the guest of my parents while in the city. "I was quite a child, possibly four years old, but I shall never forget the first impression made upon me by this very great man. His tall figure, his massive head, the luxuriant gray hair with which it was crowned, his handsome, kindly face, with the humorous twinkle in his bright, intelligent eyes, all appealed to me as no stranger had ever appealed to me. Our house had always been open to the great men and women of our race. "The hospitality of Captain George A. Hackett and his amiable wife was also known throughout the length and breadth of the land. They had not only entertained the great people of our race—Henry Highland Garnett, Peter H, Clark, Stephen Smith of Philadelphia, Madam Greenfield ('The Black Swan'), Frances Ellen Watkins Harper, William Howard Day and many others—but their house had been the rendezvous for the humble runaway slave. Many had come in the night and been hidden through the day until they could be sent on to Philadelphia, the next station of the 'underground railroad,' there to be taken in charge by William Still and other agents, sent on to New York and from there to Canada and freedom. Childhood Impressions of Douglass. "When Mr. Douglass lifted me from the floor and sald, 'Well, little one,' and held me high above his head and I looked down into those merry eyes I forgot all awe of him, and from that day we became fast friends. He always spoke of me thereafter as 'Little One,' seldom calling my name. The dedication of Douglass institute was a grand success. I can only remember the vast crowd of eager, upturned faces of my people, the melodious voice of Mr. Douglass, matchless in its orotund flexibility. At night the outside as well as the inside was brilliantly illuminated. "Some years elapsed and many changes had taken place when I again saw Mr. Douglass. My mother had become a widow, and we had moved to Washington, she having been given a position in the bureau of engraving and printing, which was then housed in the treasury department. Mr. Douglass was a frequent visitor at our house, and I spent much time at his house on A street. N. E., and at Cedar Hill, Anacostia. Mrs. Douglass, Mr. Douglass' first wife, and I became fast friends. I admired her thrifty, housewifely habits. I liked to bear her voice when she addressed Mr. Douglass, calling him 'Father.' Romps With Grandchildren at Home. "There were beautiful, heart deep tones that were never used when addressing any one else. Mr. Douglas was especially fond of children, and to see him romping and playing with his grandchildren, in which I would sometimes take part, is something I shall ever remember. But what gave me most pleasure would be the evening time, when the family would be gathered in the drawing room and Mr. Douglass would take up his violin and play the sweet Scotch airs of 'Bonnie Mary of Argyle,' 'Within a Mile of Edinboro' Town,' 'Annie Laurie,' 'Put on Your Bonnets of Blue, Laddies,' etc. He would tell us of the good, warm hearted Scotch people and how they paid for his freedom. For their goodness to Mr. Douglass I have always felt a special regard for the Scotch people. How often I have heard Mr. Douglass quote these familiar lines, and as I would look upon his 'fleece locks' as he would shake his leoncy head he would seem to be the embodiment of the poet's thought: "Fleecy locks and black complexion Cannot forfeit nature's claim. Skins may differ, but affection Dwells in white and black the same. "Sometimes between his selections on the violin he would tell us of Ole Bull, the great violinist, with whom he was intimately acquainted, and of Jenny Lind, and Alexandre Dumas, and Ira Aldridge, all of whom were his personal friends. Those were rare, good evenings for a child to be privileged to enjoy. Losee Wife at Cedar Hill, Washington. "When death invaded that happy home at Cedar Hill and took that dear, faithful wife, who had stood by his side through all the years from his young manhood until monarchs and presidents had delighted to honor him; she who had cheered and comforted him, encouraged him when he needed encouragement; who by her thrift and economy had enabled him to save a considerable competence; who had lived to see their children grow up and marry and their grandchildren to enter their early teens, it seemed that the prop and mainstay of the homestead had gone, and as I followed her dear remains to Graceland cemetery, even though a child, I felt my loss deeply and grieved sincerely. "I fear that coming generations will not be able to know her true worth. Because of her modest, retiring disposition and the complete merging of her individuality into that of her husband the unblemished superiority of her sterling virtues will not be recorded. "Although I still visited Cedar Hill, it never seemed quite the same. The magnolia tree that stands by the south window of the library, although it bloomed annually, never seemed as beautiful as it was before her death. Marshal of the District of Columbia. "After having been marshal of the District of Columbia Mr. Douglass was made recorder of deeds. I had already been employed in that office as copyist by General George A. Sheridan, having been the first colored woman employed in that office. General Sheridan in a very complimentary speech relinquished the office to Mr. Douglass, who was the first colored man to hold that office. It was an exceedingly lucrative office at that time, being an office of fees, not a salaried office. There were some years when the fees amounted to as much as $17,000. After it had been occupied successively by colored men it was decided by the government to make it a salaried office, and the salary was fixed at $2,500. "Mr. Douglass made several changes in the personnel of the office and appointed many young colored men and women as copyists, as well as a few whites. Among the appointees were William Calvin Chase, editor of the Washington Bee; Miss Kate Moten, Mrs. Rosetta Douglass Sprague, Lewis H. Douglass, Miss Helen Pitts, who afterward became Mrs. Douglass, and many others. It remained for about three years in the office during Mr. Douglass' recordorship, studying elocation during that time, and made my debut at Marini's hall, Washington. Mr. Douglass introduced me to a large, distinguished audience. Douglass at Equal Rights Convention. "During the session of the equal rights convention at Louisville, Ky., Mr. Douglass introduced me to that great body of representative men. My appearance there put me in touch with the leaders of the race at once. There was an ambition among some of the younger men to be made chairman of that convention, but the old guard stood by Mr. Douglass, and he was unanimously chosen. I had never before nor did I ever again see Mr. Douglass show so much of that old time fire of oratory, such as must have distinguished him during his work for the abolition of slavery. "At Chicago during the World's fair Mr. Douglass had charge of the Haitian building. He gave Paul Laurence Dunbar, the poet, a position there, paying him out of his own pocket. Mr. Douglass was always helping some young colored man or woman of genius to attain recognition. He did it in an unostentatious way and as a matter of course. "I was in the far west when the sad news of Mr. Douglass' death was flashed along the wires, and it grieved me much that I could not get to Washington to pay my last respects to this much loved and honored friend. That I revere his memory and cherish the leaf of ivy I gathered from his grave and the grave of his little daughter Annie (of whom he used to sometime speak), at the cemetery in Rochester N. Y., need not be questioned. Upon this one hundredth anniversary of his birth the American people, and particularly the race to which he belonged, should commemorate the day and do their best to raise the money that the Women's federation, of which Mrs. Talbert is president, has pledged themselves to obtain. "This humble tribute is gladly paid to Frederick Douglass, the noblest Roman of them all." Shall we ever see his like again?" PROF. W. M.

NEGROES, STUDY THIS PICTURE. THEN ACT. BIG MOVIE BILL IN LEGISLATURE NOW. Let everybody attend the big mass meeting SUNDAY AFTERNOON and NIGHT, at Zion; MONDAY AFTERNOON and NIGHT, at Shorfer, and TUESDAY AFTERNOON and NIGHT at Campbell Church. "Birth of a Nation," "Sappho," "The Nigger," and all such movie pictures are affected. For your sake, your children's sake and for the sake of the future of the race, ATTEND these meetings, old young, middle-aged—all. The Star prints the above lesson in order to convince some of the most skeptical Negroes of Denver and Colorado, as well as elsewhere, what it will mean for ten millions of Negroes whose minds, hearts, objects, purposes, ambitions and work are doggedly set up on one certain thing—elimination of all caste, prejudice and inequality for every one—or certain things of uplift to humanity, and what a unified action can do. This lesson applies to Negroes who patronize others than their own in business, even if you or they don't like the man or men running in business. Patronize him or his competitor of color. Every nickel taken from the business and professional man of color only weakens him and strengthens the chains of prejudice and unfair competition upon your necks, besides helping the race who least need your help. We are our own masters, if we would rightly and intelligently use what means which are ours. Think of 100 Negroes putting $1 aside a month in a colored company or in a bank and buying pigs, horses, cattle, chickens, turkeys and Belgian hares and putting those animals on the ranches of our Negro farmers, what would it mean in two years to the farmer, yourself and our Denver community? A Negro auto transportation service, a Negro commission merchant and produce dealer, Negro distributor of eggs and poultry to Capitol Hill customers and a Negro general store in the farmers' settlement all because Denver and Colorado Negroes are working together. Study this picture and wisely develop your money and brains. Again, let us suppose every female who needed such an article would patronize the only corset maker in Denver and in Colorado, Miss Beatrice Lewis, in one week she would be compelled to hire extra help. Suppose that in July, when the Prince Hall chapter of the O. E. S. meets in Colorado Springs, that the women have exhibits and displays for their inspection, thoroughly showing that co-operative spirit. When the calves decided to get together for their own benefit first all opposition failed. Unity leads to conference which will ultimately result into co-operation, so stick together if you have to hang together in parts.

Owing to the constant increase in the cost of paper and office supplies, we are notifying all delinquent subscribers who are two years or more in arrears that, with this issue, we stop sending their paper. Bills have been sent showing dates and balances. Those who desire to take the paper and have not made arrangements to take care of their account must pay up. Please attend to this matter. It takes money to run a good newspaper. We are glad to acknowledge, thru George W. McCormick, the kind sentiment sent to the Star by Rev. Jas. Washington, who is doing so nicely in San Francisco. Mrs. Washington's health is not as good there as in dry old Colorado. We hope his success will continue to grow larger and that he will get some subscribers for the Star. Send us a news letter of old-time Denverites, Reverend. The Star cannot praise "Frederick W. White," known as "F. W. W," because we know that he did not like Negroes, testified against us in the "Birth of a Nation" case, stating that the play was based upon historical facts, and criticised Mme. Calve, the world's greatest lyric soprano, He seldom let an opportunity slip to because she sang Negro folk songs, hit the Negro and we cannot see how the Colorado Statesman can use up its editorial column upon such a man in fulsome flattery.

Hit while hitting is good and easy. Attend all the meetings. Tuesday afternoon a party of five consisting of Mr. L. Lightner, Reverends G. Sterling Sawyer, A. E. Reynolds, Dr. J. H. P. Westbrook and Lawyer Geo, G. Ross, called upon Governor Julius C. Gunter, some members of the House and Senate, to talk over matters relative to certain bills introduced in the assembly. Good assurances were given that a square deal would be given everybody. Governor Gunter seemed very anxious to ascertain the advancement and progress of our people in Colorado. He was very familiar with the history of Senator Revels, B. K Bruce, and Governors Lynch and Pinchback, and paid glowing tribute to the sterling character of these men. It is the Star's opinion that Governor Julius C. Gunter will be the governor of all the people of Colorado and will give everybody a square deal. We will speak more anon. We mention especially for kind and prompt consideration Representatives O. T. Meyer and Chas. Linton in the House, and Senators William Adams, B. T. Napier, Coldren, Starkweather, Hattenbach and Francis Knauss in the Senate. TRUTH WITH A PUNCH AND A STING. Dr. George Elliott Howard, head of the political science and sociology department of the University of Nebraska, recently uttered some bold and true words at an open forum meeting at All Souls Church in Lincoln, Neb. He said in part: "The solution of the Southern race problem is to come through the education of the whites. It is time that the whites emancipated themselves from mental bondage. The white South does not know the Negro, although it claims full knowledge of him. It cannot see the forest for the trees." The brave sociologist went on to show that the whites are more guilty of relations with colored women than are colored men with a passion for despoiling white women. Dr. Howard went still further and showed that the colored race were superior to Russian serfs freed in 1861. The per capita of wealth of the serfs in fifty years, with only 30 per cent able to read or write, has grown to $36, while the per capita wealth of the colored race with 70 per cent able to read or write has grown to $70. These are some of our facts. Present yours, Senator Eaton. OPENED UP FOR BUSINESS.

All he asks is a fair and legal chance in this work of self-improvement. He does not ask for favors; he has confidence of successful experience that he can work out his own salvation, as salvation is reckoned in ordinary social term (mark you these words, Mr. Eaton); but he does protest against being continually humiliated, constantly annoyed and used as a football in the community life because his skin is black or because he is not white. Negroes, how can we inspire our young to have respect for and love our race, when any little, narrow minded, self-conceited, self-centered politician, who thinks because he bears the Republican label that he can insult and stab us at his will! Let us challenge the conscience of the big white American that he might be informed and know our life struggles and upreadings, ambitions and good intentions in Colorado. Let us not let the wolf who has slipped into the legislature in sheep's clothing, stealthily infame and vigorously poison the legislators with the deadly dagger of race hate, or the threat of racial intermarriage between (only two kinds of human beings, Negroes or Mullatoes and whites) and not make a vehement protest and showing against his ungracious actions and treachery. The colored people of the twentieth century are building upon the foundation of peace, justice and fair dealing with every one, given us by those honest pioneer builders of character and cities and Colorado, today whose watchword is "progress onward, and upward to the skies," still realizes the value and worth of her good citizens whose lives are used to uplift and advance Colorado, does not want her assembly to disgrace its statute books with such a snivelling, petty, small prejudice which give a true measurement to the veneered Kentuckian Senator representing Denver. We as a people are conscious that the Negro has not nor will not fail. The foundation which was firmly laid early by some of our biggest and broadest white friends has the framework strong and steady and in later years when the Eatons and the rest of the Negro haters are sleeping in some forgotten grave, the house that the Negro is slowly, steadily and patiently erecting with his brawn, brains and heartlife cemented each story with his tearful struggles, will be looked upon as a proud accomplished fact to the honor and glory of Colorado and her assembly that encourages the humblest and does not step on a man because he is down, or black. Y. M. C. A. NOTES The boys' work committee last Saturday evening considered some matters which will redound greatly to the welfare of that department of work and to the efficiency of the branch. A thorough reorganization of the work of the department is planned, and will soon be carried through, especially the athletic department. Weather conditions spoiled an otherwise splendid and attractive program last Sunday afternoon, the occasion being the first annual celebration of Lincoln and Douglas by the association. The oration by Mr. George W. Gross on "Abraham Lincoln," was in keeping with his reputation as an orator. Miss Nelsine Howard read Longfellow's "Slave in the Dismal Swamp," while Mrs. Florence Smith recited Walt Whitman's tragic poem, "O Captain, My Captain!" accompanied by Miss Dimple Gatewood. Old-time slave songs were rendered by a mixed quartet; also Mr. Yacob Reid sang, accompanied by Mrs. DeFrantz. A beautiful flag processional by four young boys elicited great applause.

In an article written in 1855 James McCune-Smith, the great advocate of human rights and freedom of the slaves, said of Frederick Douglass in part: "But his sojourn in England was more than a joy to Mr. Douglass. It awakened him to the consciousness of new powers that lay in him. From the pupilage of Garrisonism he rose to the dignity of a teacher and a thinker; his opinions on the broader aspects of the great American question were earnestly and incessantly sought from various points of view, and he must, perforce, bestir himself to give suitable answer. "With that prompt and truthful perception that has led their sisters in all ages of the world to gather at the feet and support the hands of reform ers, the gentlewomen of England were foremost to encourage and strengthen him to carve out for himself a path fitted to his powers and energies in the life battle against slavery and caste to which he was pledged. And one stirring thought, inseparable from the British idea of the evangel of freedom, must have smitten his ear from every side: "Hereditary bondmen, know ye not Who would be free, themselves must strike the blow? "The result of this visit was that on his return to the United States he established a newspaper. This proceeding was sorely against the wishes and the advice of the leaders of the American Anti-slavery society, but our author had fully grown up to the conviction of truth which they had once promulgated, but now forgotten—to wit, that in this own elevation, self elevation, colored men have a blow to strike 'on their own hook' against slavery and caste. Differing from his Boston friends in this matter, diffident in his own abilities, reluctant at their dissuadings, how beautiful is the loyalty with which he still clung to their principles in all things else and even in this! "The arduous nature of his labors from the date of the establishment of his paper may be estimated by the fact that anti-slavery papers in the United States, even while the organs of and when supported by anti-slavery parties, have, with a single exception, failed to pay expenses. Mr. Douglass has maintained and does maintain his paper without the support of any party and even in the teeth of opposition of those from whom he had reason to expect counsel and encouragement. "He has been compelled at one and the same time and almost constantly during the past seven years to contribute matter to its columns as editor and to raise funds for its support as lecturer. It is within bounds to say that he has expended $12,000 of his own hard earned money in publishing this paper, a larger sum than has been contributed by any one individual for the general advancement of the colored people. "There had been many other papers published and edited by colored men, beginning as far back as 1827, when the Rev. Samuel E. Cornish and John B. Russworm, a graduate of Bowdow college and afterward governor of Cape Palmas, published the Freedmen's Journal in New York city. Probably not less than 100 newspaper enterprises have been started in the United States by free colored men, born free, and some of them of liberal education and fair talents for this work. "But one after another they have fallen through, although in several instances anti-slavery friends contributed to their support. It had almost been given up as an impracticable thing to maintain a colored newspaper when Mr. Douglass, with fewest early advantages of all his competitors, essayed and has proved the thing perfectly practicable and, moreover, of great public benefit. "This paper, in addition to its power in holding up the hands of those to whom it is especially devoted, also affords irrefutable evidence of the justice, safety and practicability of immediate emancipation. It further proves the immense loss which slavery inflicts on the land, while it dooms such energies as his to the hereditary degradation of slavery." Brooklyn's Douglass Celebration. The big Brooklyn Douglass celebration will be held in the auditorium of the Boys' High school on Friday evening, Feb. 23. The Rev. Dr. C. P. Cole, pastor of the Bridge Street A. M. E. church, will preside. The various churches and other organizations of the city have taken much interest in the plans for the celebration, which is expected to be the largest ever held in honor of Frederick Douglass in Brooklyn. George E. Wilbecan is chairman of the general committee of arrangements, N. B. Dodson secretary and M. P. Saunders treasurer. LET THE DENVER STAR TALK IT FOR YOU.

IFTEEN years ago farming was dis- F cussed among leading Negroes in Colo- rado as a new avenue for employment and self-help. 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- TTT eee | Segal STE eee Bw. i ce % = ae a a Att Besag haw Sal ‘a 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 set- tlers. Within a radius of twenty miles around Dearfield Settlement there are as many more colored families and farmers. There are how in Eastern Colorado five hun- dred colored families on farms and two thousand Négro farmers and farm hands. ) 5 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 busi- ness and residence, and unplatted blocks of 5 and 10 acres (less streets) surrounding the Town adapted to dairying, poultry rats- ing, and truck farming. a 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 i BEX Ss >y pois ee Dae Seer A a ae > os NG Woe faa ee which are from 10 to 20 miles away, besides thelr mail orders and shipments from Den- ver 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 de mand 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 {s an open- ing in Dearfield for every branch of business that is conducted in any established com- munity. Now is the time for the young man to start in and grow up with the pros perity 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 ‘@ 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 oneeighth of the land occupied, and twothirds 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 com- munities 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 belug gobbled up py forelgners and southerners the last call will soon be heard. Shall we as ® race put off until at last too late? Dearfleld Town Settlement has laid'a great foundation for the building of the wealthiest Negro community in the world because of {ts productive soil, its climatic conditions, its close proximity to water, fuel, ratiroads, ‘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 Dearfeld ‘and be counted in its history as. one of Dearfleld’s prosresaive pioneers in business.
