ALL FIVE LYNCHED ON ONE LIMB ADMITTED NOW TQ BE INNOCENT The Constitution, Atlanta, Ga., February 8, 1917. WORTH THINKING ABOUT. Jim Keith is a Negro who, more than a year ago, narrowly escaped lynching by a Georgia mob under the impression that he had murdered a sheriff. He was saved by Worth county officials, but the lawless band did succeed in lynching five other Negroes tho't to have been implicated in the murder of which Keith was accused. Jim Keith subsequently was tried, found guilty and sentenced to a life term in the penitentiary. In the meantime, while Jim Keith lay in prison, new light was shed upon the original crime, and the convict was given anoither trial. ALL FIVE LYNCHED PROVEN IN- NOCENT Now the new evidence proves Jim Keith and the five dead Negroes innocent; and he was acquitted and his freedom restored by a white jury! What a commentary upon the accursed institution of lynching! THE WICKED DEED A murder is committed: a mob forms; five innocent Negroes are lynched the life of a sixth barely saved by the authorities from the mob. Then more than a year later, "further evidence has led to the general belief that Mozelle Lake, who escaped is the murderer!" THE INJUSTICE A white jury and the law soberly and with deliberation, could restore to the one living victim, of a premature mad impulse his liberty, but not to the five others who are dead. COMMENT OF A WHITE GEORGIA PAPER How long are the decent law abiding citizens of Georgia going to tolerate this disgraceful barbaric practice which is the foulest blot upon the name of the state today! Doctor Reprimanded for Drawing Color Lines. Atlantic City,N. J.—Dr. M. H. Axelrod, a recent graduate or the Medico Chirurgical College of Philadelphia, was severely reprimanded today for his refusal to admit a member of the Race to the Atlantic City hospital when in charge last Monday night. Several members of the board of directors are said to have recommended his dismissal. Ds. Axelrod had been called to treat John Wallace, a youth who had been found half froz under the Broadwalk. He administered restoratives, but denied the lad a cot and or dered him to the city jail. Officers refused and a wrangle followed. The Denver Star ESTABLISHED 1888 CHARITY MAKES COWARDS. "Charity makes for slaves, cowards and sycophants," said "Mother Jones" of Colorado mine field fame, recently. Her words are true. Men cheat their employes out of what if their just due and become rich and when they have accumulated millions they pose a "philanthropists" and endeavor to perpetuate their names by giving money for libraries or "charities," or Christian (?) associations. No class has suffered more from the "philanthropies" of these rich thieves than the colored people and their nefarious work has been aided by so-called colored leaders who have taken the role of public mendicants and have begged for money to organize jimcrow institutions and thus prevent their own class from securing their rights as American citizens. The product of the segregated institution is usually a crop of young colored people with slavish instincts; cringing cowards, servile sycophants. Great God, deliver the people from such charity and give them justice. England Asks U. S. to Washington.—England has made informal inquiry of American diplomatic agents respecting the possibility of American intervention in Liberia, the African Republic formed on the model of the United States. It is understood this Government will make representations to Liberia, as next best friend to the republic, strongly recommending and also demanding institution of administrative reforms. If Liberia refuses to effect the reforms urged, this Government may withdraw its traditional friendlly attitude. War! War! War! The American blood is up. The all is charged with the lurid blaze of the war fire. Congress has been asked to clear the decks for action. Government grounds have been closed to outsiders. Atlantic ports are being prepared for defence. Programs under the direction of the War and Navy Departments are being arranged, and it won't be long perhaps before we might hear the booming of cannons in support of the principle of international freedom. Glover Civil Rights Bill Passes House. Trenton, N. J.—The Glover Civil Rights' Bill intended to strengthen the measure against race discrimination in public places passed the Lower House yesterday without a dissenting vote Fiftythree of the sixty members were presented and voted Aye. DENVER, GOLORADO, SATURDAY, MCH 3, 1917 What's the Difference? The "German Barbarans" or the Infamous Klu Klux Klan? A few days ago Ben Tillman, who has boasted in the United States Senate that the people of his state "shoot down 'Niggers and will continue to do so to keep them in their place and make them understand that this is a white man's country"—God save the mark—insolently said: "Send Bernstorff back to his German barbarians." The country applauded this statement. This only shows how purblind Americans are to their own moral turpitude. That a United States senator should be permitted in such a body as the United States Senate to openly boast that in his sovereign state they murder Americans for the atrocious crime of having been born black and go unrebuked should cause all decent Americans to hide their heads in shame. And it illy becomes one of the Tillman ilk to prate about "German barbarism!" Moreover, in this connection, it may be well to call attention to the six months' record in sections of South Carolina of the Ku Klux Klan, that band of midnight marauders, murders and despoilers of women who are being pictured today as paragons of virtue in widely advertised movies. This is the record of that band of cut-throats for six months in only one section of South Carolina as published, after an official investigation, in 1871: "In the nine counties covered by the investigation for a period of approximately six months, the Ku Klux Klan LYNCHED and MURDERED 35 men, whipped 262 men and women, otherwise OUTRAGED, shot, mutilated, burned out, etc., 101 persons. It committed cases of sex offenses against Negro women. During this time the Negroes killed four men (probably in self defense—the Editor), beat one man, committed 16 other outrages, but no case of torture. No case is found of a white woman seduced or raped by a Negro. "The reasons given for the Ku Klux outrages were that the victims should suffer in revenge for the killing of four men and for some cases of arson; that they were Republicans; that they were radical; that they had attempted to hold elections; that they were carrying arms (supplied by the governor of the state when he organized the Negro militia); that they were 'niggers'; that they were 'damn niggers'; that they boasted that they would own land." The Ku Klux Klan'were murderers, thieves, cowardly cut-throats, ravishers of women. But you know, according to Dixon and Tillman, they were most honorable men, who ravished, murdered, tortured and robbed "to protect white civilization in the South." Miserere, Domine! And the pity of it is that the LYNCHING, MURDERING, BURNING and MALTREATING of men, women and children, because they are black, which was begun by the Ku Klux Klan, continues. "German barbarians." indeed. And this in the face of the heroizing of the infamous Ku Klux Klan!—Monitor. "WHY AMERICANS FAIL." It is a notorious fact that in spite of Pan-American congresses, long-winded editorials in American newspapers, etcetera, the United States is far behind Germany, Great Britain, France and Spain so far as trade in Latin-America is concerned. A book by A. Wyatt Verrill on "South and Central American Trade Conditions of Today," recently issued by Dodd, Mead & Co., New York, has this to say under the heading, "Why Americans Fail." "Race or religious prejudice, condescension, discourtesy or bluff have no place in Spanish America. The Latin-American is a gentleman first, last and all the time. He has never acquired our habit of being a gentleman in private life and a boor in business and he expects others to be as courteous as himself and it they are not he judges them accordingly. He may be white, brown, yellow or black, but remembers that one of his ancestors was probably a plumed grandee of Old Spain. You may scoff at his ideas, you may laugh at his faith, you may curse at the "lazy Greasers," and through it all he may smile, treat you with respect and politeness and greet you with expressions of the greatest pleasure, but in his heart he despises you for an ill-bred "Yankee pig" and thanks God that he is of Spanish blood. On the other hand treat the Latin-American with courtesy, praise the buildings and industry of his town, admire his beautiful women, visit his places of interest, and speak his language and you may command respect, admiration and true friendship and every entertainment and comfort will be yours. The Appeal has printed a number of editorials along In a recent action before the working conference on the organic union of Methodism. held at Northwestern University, Bishop Wilbur P. Thirkield of the Methodist Episcopal Church made the following reference to the work of the Roman Catholic Church: "The Roman Catholic Church in the last decade has become singularly aggressive in work for the Negro thru schools and churches. Thru the earnest and often beneficent and self sacrificing work of priests and members of the sifterhoods—this church is getting a strong hold on ever increasing thousands of color ed people. Did time avail I could give numerous facts, startling in their significance. The argument that appeals strongly to many Negroes is that the Roman Catholic Church receives them with the full rights and privileges of the one church that welcomes people of all races into a Christian brotherhood. "They may have, and often do, separate buildings for worship, yet all share in the Christian brotherhood of races. If our Methodism that has held the confidence, affection and devotion of millions of colored people is, in the coming years, to best meet the subtle aggresions of the Roman Catholic Church, then let Methodism express its faith, its religious convictions and ideals thru a large body of Negro members in organic relation to the Church." Grecian Civilization African Sir Arthur J. Evans, the famous archaeologist who was elected president of the British Association last October and startled Europe with his claims of the African orig in of European civilization, delivered another address be fore the Hellenic Society of London and reiterated his statements. In the introduction to his address he says, "The truth is that the old view of Greek civilization as a kind of 'enfant de mircale' can no longer be maintained. Whether you like it or not, classical students must now admit that the ancient Greecians were a dark people and Aryans (white.)" this line showing that Americans have lost millions of dollars through their jimcrow methods and it is a great satisfaction to have this view upheld by a great authority thoroughly familiar with conditions. Race prejudice is an expensive proposition for those who indulge in it.—Minneapolis Appeal. State Libraries & Nat and History Society FIVE CENTS A COPY. NEGROES MANNING SWITCH ENGINES SATISFAFTORILY Colored men engineers, firemen, and brakemen are handling the switch engines and cars at Scullin-Gallager's Steel plant of this city. According to information, about Feb. 1, the white crew went on strike for higher wages. Their places were filled temporarily by Colored men who came from the South, who had some experience along these lines. For fear that the railroad company would refuse to furnish cars, the white men were put back on the job, with continued dissatisfaction to all concerned. A conference was held, and as soon as the officials of the steel plant were given assurance from the railroad companies that there would be no interferences on their part, the white men were immediately released and their places were filled with Colored men. The Colored men eel assured that their positions are petmanent, as they have this promise from the official of the company, who has always kept his word.—Kansas City Sun. Jack Johnson Caught. Gibralter viaLondon.—Jack Johnson, American world's champion puglist, passed thru Gibralter enroute to Barcelona, Spain, aboard the Aguinalda Alfonso. Jack Johnson, Jan. 15. with passports signed by King George of England, arrived at Archangle Feb. 3. crossed thru Russia and into Roumania and secured signatures for his World's advertising Corporation. Crossing thru Italy, he embarked for the return journey and was captured by an Austrian submarine. Jack, single handed, subdued the Austrian captain and blew up the submarine, and was rescued after drifting three days by the Spanish freighter, Aguinaldo Altonso, and was landed at a Spanish port. Johnson has returned safely to Barcelona, Spain, having secured all rights from allied capitals for his World's Advertising Corporation. He has cornered all important hotel, railroad, steamboat and streetcar advertising rights, and has secured all English, French, Spanish, Portuguese and Roumanian rights. He has also secured rights from Buenos Ayers. Jack Johnson is now located at 30 32 Rambla Del Centro, Barcelona, Spain. Milwaukee, Wis.—The Ben net bill, which would prohibit the inter marriage between blacks and whites, is unwise, un American, and the members of the Race in this city are fighting it. They demand as American citizens, that no such bill, which is contrary to the rights given them in the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments, be passed. Church News THE ZION BAPTIST CHURCH, 24th Avenue and Ogden. David E. Over, D. D., Minister. Telephones, York 6007, York 9377. The pastor's sermon from the subject, "The Christian Walk," brought forth many expressions of gratitude for the helpfulness received by those present last Sunday morning. While there was only a fair attendance, the high state of spiritual interest which we have experienced for several weeks was maintained. Two persons, Sisters Nellie Riley and Christina Brooks, responded to the invitation. The latter came for baptism. At the evening service Sister Rosa Lee Johnson became a member of the Church. The Welfare began its series of meetings at Zion Sunday afternoon. In spite of the funeral of Sister Hall held at Shorter, there was a really good attendance. The masterly address of Dr. Hanson, superintendent of the National Welfare League, which was given to the afternoon meeting, was followed by another, as fully inspiring, at the evening service. That this campaign is already awakening the City of Denver to a sense of responsibility for the higher interests of its children is quite evident. Our Soul Winning Campaign is now fully organized and the workers are faithfully scouring the community on their God-given mission. Already the results are plainly evident in the increased attendance of the unsaved at our services and by the weekly response to the invitation to follow Christ. Nearly every service during February gave to the Church a precious soul. Eighteen persons came into the Church during the month, thirteen of whom were for baptism. Never in our history as a Church has there been such a challenge given to Zion. More than three hundred names have been sent in for prayer, many of these making special request for help to lead them to Christ. Except Zion meets this challenge in the spirit of heroic resolve, she should have no real place or standing in this community. The pastor urges prayer! The prayer which begets consecrated activity as well as faithful expectation of a mighty harvest. Every member who can honestly name the name of Christ should swing every activity into this mighty effort. The Wednesday night prayer meeting is the rallying place.

The members are expected to all have their dollar money so that we may pay our District Superintendent up to the penny. The Conference will be Saturday evening. Dr. Auman, Elder Howard and Rev.

Let the class leaders get busy and see their members so that we might pay the superintendent all we owe him. Keep in mind the extraordinary program to be rendered by the Ladies' Aid on March 15th.

Diton; "Listen to the Lambs" is a beautiful piece, being a religious characteristic in the form of an anthem for four-part chorus of mixed voices by R. Nathaniel Dett, director Hampton Institute, Virginia. Another one of note, "Every Time I Feel the Spirit," is another Negro spiritual, a five part chorus of mixed voices by Carl R. Diton; "Ehilopla Shall Soon Stretch Out Her Hands Unto God," by J. A. Monday of Chicago, etc., etc. MISSION WORK AND SUNDAY SCHOOL AT THIRTY-FIRST Bible Training Class. 7:30 each Friday evening.

A. building, where they were addressed by Secretary Bell, who congratulated them on their success, and reminded them that the people had responded to their appeal because they believed in the work which the band was attempting to do, and further urged them to dignify their uniforms and not expect the uniforms to dignify them. The new combination pool and billiard table has at last come, and the boys are tickled almost to death. No champions have yet been developed, though it seemed at one time that Gardner was going to triumph over Perkins and Covington in a race on the first evening it came.

The Star, in its criticism of both the motive which prompted Assembly- man Eaton in introducing the race is- sue into this legislature by the inter- marriage law amendments, and the kind of a public official who was sup- posed to represent us in public, did not mean to have any person construe the statements as a direct and _per- sonal attack on Mr. Baton as an in- dividual, but the whole was directed against him as a public official and his record as a public official. We shall again call attention to our argu- ment against the bill. We learn that Senator Eaton did not intend to raise a race issue, that he only took the law as he “found it,” placed there some forty years ago. We- have changed, so have our conditions, there- fore we shall speak further. ‘Whenever there is a chance for the West to get recognition thru the gov- ernment at Washington, The Star al- ways is anxious to push some one ca- pable and representative. Because of the strong representations as to the fitness, ability and race loyalty of one Mr. J. F. Norris of Seattle, Wash., we think and therefore say that Mr. Norris, whose services have been very valuable and acceptable to the ad- ministration at Washington should receive his political plum at the same recognizing the Far West. The Star feels that where any per- son desires to emphasize musically the production of our Negro authors, that it should at least urge the peo- ple to turn out en masse and hear how Negroes interpret their own authors, On the 22nd of March the Presby- terlan Church offers you an oppor. tunity to go and hear productions of the Negro soul life. The Star advises that you go and hear and take your children. LAST NOTICE TO DELINQUENTS.

RESOLUTION OF CONDOLENCE Denver, Colo., Feb. 25, 1917. Whereas, It has seemed good to the Ruler of the Universe to remove from among us our talented and be- loved Mother, Unity Hall. She was an honorary member of Shorter’s A. M. B. Church Usher Club, joining the club in the year of 1913. Mother Hall would visit the meeting of the board once a while and the members were always glad to have her pres- ent with them. Her advice was always received with much pleasure and she always seemed to be happy when she came to our meetings. ‘Therefore, in view of the loss we have sustained and still greater loss occasioned to her respected family and relatives, be it Resolved, That the members of this club ‘hereby desire to express their sense of bereavement and grief at the loss of one of their most gifted members; be it Resolved, That we sincerely sym- pathize with the relatives and near friends of our late and beloved asso- ciate, and that we respectfully com- mend them for consolation to Divine Providence, who, thought sometimes inscrutable in His dispensation, yet doth all things well, feeling sure that to them, as to us, that there is com: fort in ‘the knowledge that the de- ceased was not only honorable and womanly in all respects, but was also a devoted and consistent’ Christian; be -it Resolved, That a copy ‘df’ these resolutions be sent to the family of the deceased as a testimony of our grief and sympathy, and a copy spread upon the records of the Usher Club and also sent to the press.

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 clalm, and one filed on 160 acres as a homestead claim. These men talked with their friends and got others in- S| Se ee a } oe Sa ed KT bes Eo Bons PPE DS pr. be ae a ia > acl ] ee ae = e ea re | eee . ats tall | eens Sa eee Building Dearfeld Lead 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 now in Eastern Colorado fivé hun- dred colored families on farms and two thousand Negro farmers and farm hands. } i 3 Dearfield, Colo. The Dearfield Settlement has a Townsite platted on state land consisting of 480 acres. There are eight blocks of town lots for busti- ness and residence, and unplatted blocks of 5 and 10 acres (less streets) surrounding the Town adapted to dairying, poultry rais- ing, 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 PA ey + iN age ae eatge < ees ae dt : ae ft Yor i Gon ep ; oe a i e 3 LAN ‘ Ra. , % in ae» ae ne Gaenctmae which are from 16 to 20 miles away, besides their mail orders and shipments from Den- ver and other places, The products of the farms are increasing and there ts now a marketable crop in this community of $250,000 per year produced by the Negro and white settlers in and around Dearfeld. There is also a great de- mand for mechanics and farm laborers. The opportunities offered in Dearfleld for location and investment are unsurpassed in the United States for Negroes of business ability and small capital. There is an open- ing in Dearfteld 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 etart’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 s 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 ot land with a population of only 800,000, and only one-eighth 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 thoysands, The Negro will have to hurry if he expects to partake of the golden opportunities of Colorado, which ro 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 Inst too late? Dearfield Town Settlement has laid a g-eat fouhdation for the building of the wealthiest Negro community in'the world because of {ts productive soil, ita 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 1s the time for the young Negro to become interested in the’ Town of Dearfield andbe counted in its history as one of Dearfield’s prowressive pioneers in business.

Sinclair of Philadel- phia praised the work of the editor and told of two recent attempts to get Mr. Murphy to accept flattering positions out of the city. When Toastmaster McMechen intro- duced the guest of the evening he was greeted with a flattering ovation. After asserting that he thought that ‘he hardly deserved all of the .good things that had been said about him Mr. Murphy advised his hearers ‘to work for community and racial uplift. “I am afraid that many of us,” he went on to say, “think because we are colored that we have no civic respousi- bilities, considering ourselves a thing apart fn the community. I would that all of us would consider ourselves a part of the comivunity and work to- ward racial and general betterment. We must get behind cur professional and business men am! adequately sup- port them. In this room there are enough brains aud capability properly directed to shape the destiny of the race in Baltimore. We must work for the larger things, and then we will mer- it general contidence.” Musical numbers were furnished by Rev, Charles FE. Stewart, Mr. Howard D. Brent, Mr. iruest Purviance and Mr. John W. Brown. At the conclu- sion of the speechmaking Dr. Lyon pro- posed a toast to the president of the Upited States. Dr, W. A. Sinclair, Chris J. Perry and Henry Freeman, the latter of Wasbingtou, were among the out of town guests.

How many of us realize how much we will help ourselves by boosting our competitor instead of knocking him? To those of us who do not, the above picture, from Armour, will carry lits own message. No amount of rea- soning or logic could show any more clearly and definitely just what co operation means. Let’s all apply it to our own bust. ness this year and wait for results. NEGROES, STUDY THIS PICTURE. THEN ACT. The Star prints the above lesson in order to convince some of the most |skeptical Negroes of Denver and Colo- rado, as well as elsewhere, what it will mean for ten millions of Negroes whose minds, hearts, objects, pur- poses,-ambitions and work are dog gedly 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 com- petition 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 com- munity?
