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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The Boys' band came into its own last Sunday afternoon. With their new uniforms on, they marched the street sof Denver, followed by a large crowd. They first marched from the home of Mr. Boykin, their leader, to the Y. M. C. 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. Playing is confined to only members of the association.
On Saturday evening, March 3rd, the boys will gather at 7:30 o'clock to listen to a lecture on "Clouds, Winds and Weather," by Mr. Lovegand, an instructor in the Central Y. M. C. A. After the lecture there will be given a combination popcorn and candy-pulling social. A good time is expected. The program next Sunday afternoon will be under the auspices of the Gospel Team of Trinity M. E. Church. A good hour is expected, and all men will be welcome. The meeting will begin at 4 o'clock.

Sherman, Tex.—Texas is considered

While he was born of slave parents
who were unlettered, he took advan-
tage of the schools opened to him.

the race, Le was born on a farm, his
home being near a Kentucky town in
Grayson county. He was a hard work-
er a8 4 youth, but as soon as he was
permitted to do so he entered the coun-
try sclool near his Lome. After finish-
ing the country school course he en-
tered the city school, walking every
morning four and a half miles.
He used his time wisely when not in
school. He learned the importance of
saving 4 dollur, so when he got his
bands on a piece of ‘money it would
remain with him. Having saved his
money. he found that be had enough

BE NOT MISLED.
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.

scribers who are two years or more

stop sending their paper, Bills have

ances. Those who desire to take the

ments to take care of their account

ment sent to the Star by Rev. Jas.

his congregation through a ten nights
series of revival meetings, in order
to develop an awakening of the spirit:
ual life of both church and people.

mon for ten night, will be concluded

the gospel of truth, as it is in Christ
Jesus our Lord.

minister, and his people, will co-oper-
ate; also Rey. E. 0. Butler of the

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

Bonglass Centenary Poea.
By WALTER E. HAWKINS.
He gave his sacrificial blood while bro-
ken 'neath the load
As there on alavery's altar long he
lay.
His daily bread was bitter drege as al
helt could afford.
Idke Him who vore the sins of all
earth gave him no abode,
Yet in his agony he knew that night
dawns into day.
Men calicd him slave, but such as he
was infinitely free,
Free in his untamed heart to feet the
right.
He visioned heights the semi-men about
Aim could not see;
He read the prophet's vision in the
night. :
| 4 bUghE and curse was all his need,
the slaver’s lash hie fee,
Upon this cgld unytelding rock of grim
‘adversity.
Whetted his eagle pinions and like ea-
gle took the height.
When waves of hatred swelled and
broke across his weighted soul
Nor right mor left he awerved, but
kept the race.
Straight down the rough race course
of Ufe, his eyes ized om the goal,
He bdore the taunting with deftting
grace.
When war gods lashed the elements
into @ blackened acrolt
And men lost heart because the dregs
turned bitter in the bowl
He thought not of himself, but of his
perseouted race. .
Upright, sun crowned, divinely blest
with rare celestial fire,
Upon.God's modern hill of Mare he
stood.
In Ma great heart was Joshua's
strength; he voice was Devid's
lyre,
His clear toned notes resounding o'er
the flood,
He called us from the dread abyss of
alavery's murk and mire;
He raised us from our low estate and
taught us to aspire
Up to the hills of God, where all te
deautiful and good,
EthMope stood o'er the chasm ond pour-
ed out her teare Uke rain,
And her broken heart wes dying of
tte woe,
And her cries reached the Almighty
for her sona and daughters slain,
And the death of her distress brought
heaven low.
What she lost in death an& sorrow,
what ahe lost in grief and pain
Heaven repaid her in the freedom
which thy life did much to gain
When it gave us thee, O Douglass,
quite a hundred years ago. |
Yes, this stern browed, fearless titen
blew his trumpet in the land »
When hia lecding race was hurt and
sore distreascd, |
And he sounded the alarm, made men
hear and understand |
That the burden of hia race was in
hie Ureast, |
And his words were flames of fire and
Ma tongue @ burning brand,
Acton of the seed of Nimrod and a rod
{n Aaron's hand, |
And he summoned anen to judgment for
the heartaore and oppressed. |
We count him great and justly hold
him worthy of the name,
No truer statesman ever pressed the
aod,
Up to the highcat rounds of life from
Out:the meanest shame
He forged his way into a juat reward.
No pen can paint the anguish of the
deptha from which he came.
He fought his tay to freedom, and he
«forged his way to fame, .
And he wrote his namo in deathices
* ght among the sone of God.
He was our good Kir Galahad, whose
true sword tcavered not
When all the world condoned the sin
and vice.
He changed into a chapel hte accursed
slavery mart
Polluted tong by human sacrifice.
His rostrum, duilt of whipping poste
where human souls were shot,
Rateed freedom's altar and a. church
‘pom the sin cursed spot,
Put swings upon his cross whereon he
sailed to paradise.

MRS. UNITY HALL LAID TO REST.
Shorter Church was crowded to the back of the room, people were standing in the aisles and everyone seemed eager to pay some little respect to a faithful soul who had done so much good for the homeless and unfortunate. After extolling her qualities and after a feeling sermon, her many friends followed her to the grave where her body will rest in peace that passeth all understanding. The floral offerings were beyond accurate description.

CHICAGO ENJOYS MUSICAL FEAST
Celebrates Composers' Day With Harmony and Eloquence.
RACIAL MELODIES EXTOLLED
J. Rosamond Johnson, Composer and Singer, Recalls Dvorak's Praise of Negro Music as Only Original American Source—Banquet Closes Memorable Occasion.
Chicago.—This city is rapidly developing into a musical center. During the past year it has welcomed many noted colored musicians, among them Mrs. Maud Cuney Hare of Boston, but it was reserved to Miss Eloise Davis Carey, a graduate of Northwestern university and a short story writer of brilliancy and promise, to give Chicago recently the musical sensation of the season. She conceived the idea of celebrating Composers' day and honoring composers of African descent.
The result was that the Sunday Afternoon Club of the Institutional Church, of which Rev. A. J. Carey, D. D., is pastor, gave a recital, with J. Rosamond Johnson, the composer baritone of New York city, as the star, which not only filled the auditorium, but also crowded the galleries.
The unique feature of the recital was that several of the compositions of J. Rosamond Johnson, "Deep River" and another composition of H. T. Burleigh and "Listen to the Lambs," by Dett, colored composers, were rendered during the evening, as well as the works of some of the world's masters of song.
Mr. Johnson was supported by Bethel choir, James A. Mundy choirmaster; E. Marie Summers, reader, and Pauline James Lee, contralto. Walter E. Gossett was the accompanist.
An unexpected pleasure was afforded the audience by the appearance of Clarence Lee, violinist, who played with feeling and power. His handling of the bow revealed not only perfect mastery of the instrument, but that fire and passion which made Joseph Douglass famous as a violinist. *
Miss Lee appeared in Indian costume and sang Indian songs. Her singing of "The White Dawn Is Stealing" by Charles Cadman, was thrilling and appealing. And her intense, magnetic personality, her full soprano and the thrilling contralto showed at their best in her singing of "The Rose." by Lieurance. Professor Mundy's chorus did Dett's "Listen to the Lamb" justice, and that is saying a great deal.
But the audience was interested most in the star of the evening, J. Rosamond Johnson, the composer and head of the musical settlement of New York. Mr. Johnson's singing was not extraordinary, but he made a decided hit as an entertainer and instructor nevertheless. He has a dignified and impressive personality.
He prefaced his second appearance by stating that the motif of "Walk Together, Children," was developed by Anton Dvorak in the "Symphony to the New World," which is played every year. He also stated that Dvorak said that the Negro melodies were the only original American music and that the motif in "Go Down, Moses," was as strong as the motif in Siegfried. Then Mr. Johnson illustrated several spirituals, such as "Swing Low, Sweet Charlot," "Walk Together, Children," and "Nobody Knows the Trouble I See," and sang "Lil Gal," his own composition.
In his third appearance Mr. Johnson changed his program. After he had sung "I Attempt From Love's Sickness to Fly," by Purcell, he displayed his skill as a pianist. He played "The Banjo Song," his own composition, with technique and power. Then he played and sang "Under the Bamboo Tree," another of his own productions, and closed with the "Levee Scene" and "Roll Them Cotton Bales," which took the house by storm. On the whole, Mr. Johnson is a pleasing and gifted entertainer. After the exercises the invited guests repaired to the Neighborhood Parlor, where the Composers' day, banquet, embracing ten courses, was served. Miss Annabel Carey, Miss Emma Simpson Davis, P. B. Prescott, Jr., and Dr. H. W. B. Garnes formed the banquet committee.
Mrs. A. J. Carey, an alumna of Atlanta university, who made a reputation as a teacher in the southland, prepared a set of postprandial speeches, which rivaled the brilliant concert and the delicious food. Literature, art, music and the drama were discussed not only in their racial and Negro, but in their broad and universal aspects. Rev. A. J. Carey was toastmaster, and he was a master of the art of saying "multum in parvo" and of aptly introducing the speakers. The following toasts were responded to: "The Heritage of a Race a Source of Song and Story," by Patrick B. Prescott, Jr.; "The Present Era of Golden Opportunity For the Afro-American Composers," by Mrs. David Manson; "The Music of Coleridge Taylor," by T. Theodore Taylor; "The Church and the Stage," by the writer, and "When Rosamond Plays," by Alfred Anderson. J. Rosamond Johnson responded.
Miss Eloise Davis Carey, the presiding genius, was billed to respond to the toast "Variety In Afro-American Compositions." Her duties as manager prevented her speaking, but her appearance in the banquet room was greeted with applause.
HAMPTON DEFEATS LINCOLN.
University Men Outclassed by Students of Noted Virginia Institution. BY LAWRENCH A. LEE
BY LAWRENCE A. LEE.
Hampton, Va.-The Hampton institute basketball team recently proved its superiority to the orange and blue squad of Lincoln university by debating them by the margin of one point. Lincoln outplayed the blue and white machine in the first half, but the latter half proved fatal to the visitors. Time and again they delayed the game with no intention other than to get rest.
The Seasiders, as usual, began the second half with lightning speed, which was kept up throughout the remaining part of the game. At one time it seemed as though the Lincolnites were to be the victors, but after J. Dorsey stepped into his position things made a radical change. During the entire first half Hampton was unable to cage a field goal. Edwards made six foul goals out of the eight chances, while Lincoln made five field goals and two foul goals during the first half. The first half ended with the score 12 to 6 in Lincoln's favor. The second half started with Gurnoe, Miser and Pierson as Hampton's fresh men, while Lincoln substituted Henderson for Butler. Captain Edwards and Gurnoe began to find the basket in the early part of this half, and it was all that the Young brothers could do to stop the Seasiders from scoring. In the last few minutes of play Hampton tied the score.
Owing to the fact that Lincoln had six men on the court, Referee Tubbson called a foul on them. After a lengthy debate the Lincolnites gave in. Edwards made the goal, placing Hampton one point ahead of the orange and blue.
The game ended with the final score 23 to 22 in the Virginians' favor. Both teams deserve much credit for the fast teamwork that was exhibited, but it is suggested that basketball teams leave their debaters at home, for the referees are not always willing to hold a debate with the captain while his teammates are getting rested.

Negroes Farming In Eastern Colorado.
6
IFTEEN years ago farming was discussed among leading Negroes in Colo
cussed among leading Negroes in Colorado 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-
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 16 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 lots 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.

EDITOR JOHN H. MURPHY
GUEST AT LARGE BANQUET
Baltimore Citizens Honor Veteran Publisher and Successful Business Man.
BY FRANKLIN F. JOHNSCN.
Baltimore.—The long, unselfish and little heralded services that John H. Murphy, publisher of the Afro-American, has rendered for racial uplift were extolled at a banquet given at Pythian Castle, in this city, in February. The function was given in honor of Mr. Murphy by a committee of gentlemen under the chairmanship of Captain George W. Brown, and men in all walks of life attended, thus showing the general esteem in which the veteran editor is held.
The banquet was most acceptably served by Caterer Logan Jenkins and began shortly after 9 o'clock. Following the disposal of the appetizing menu Attorney George W. F. McMechen was introduced as toastmaster by Captain Brown.
Chris J. Perry, editor of the Philadelphia Tribune and president of the National Negro Press association, told
PETER H. BURGESS
EDITOR JOHN H. MURPHY.
of the wide esteem in which Mr. Murphy is held as an editor and praised his work for the upbuilding of the Afro-American. Rev. A. L. Gaines paid a fine tribute to the guest of honor, reciting his services for the race along uplift lines.
Warner T. McGuinn told of the hostility of the daily press when it comes to publishing the bright side of the race, pictured the trials that fall to the lot of a race editor and declared that the guest of honor had blazed the trail in chronicling events of racial moment.
Dr. Ernest Lyon declared that the guest of honor had always appealed to him because of "his intense love for liberty and hatred of all oppression."
Rev. George F. Bragg told of his long association with the editor of the Afro-American Ledger and said he was acquainted with his aims and ideals.
Rev. R. W. S. Thomas in a well received address praised the work of the race press and said that editors bring to the front things needed for the people.
In an address punctuated with good stories Dr. W. A. Sinclair of Philadelphia 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 introduced 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 responsibilities, considering ourselves a thing apart in the community. I would that all of us would consider ourselves a part of the community and work toward racial and general betterment. We must get behind our professional and business men and adequately support them. In this room there are enough brains and capability properly directed to shape the destiny of the race in Baltimore. We must work for the larger things, and then we will merit general confidence."
Musical numbers were furnished by Rev. Charles E. Stewart, Mr. Howard D. Brent, Mr. Ernest Purviance and Mr. John W. Brown. At the conclusion of the speechmaking Dr. Lyon proposed a toast to the president of the United States.
Dr. W. A. Sinclair, Chris J. Perry and Henry Freeman, the latter of Washington, were among the out of town guests.
During the twenty years that Mr. Murphy has published the Afro-American ledger he has succeeded in putting it in the forefront as to reliability and influence. Born in Baltimore Dec. 25, 1840, he received his education in private schools. He served in one of the Maryland regiments during the civil war and later entered business here.
He is widely known in the Masonic fraternity, having served as imperial potentate of the Mystic Shrine. He has been one of the most active laymen of the A. M. E. church in this country for more than forty years.

How many of us realize how much the other fellow can help us achieve what we are working for?
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 its own message. No amount of reasoning or logic could show any more clearly and definitely just what cooperation means.
Let's all apply it to our own busi 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 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?

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.

Success crowns all co-operative efforts.

And we also thank you for the many most beautiful floral offerings and the great resolutions, and the many acts of kindness.
We know that our loss is sure Heaven's gain, and though we miss her greatly, we can rest assured that she gave her life and services for all whom she came in contact with, and Heaven is her reward.
Again we thank you, dear friends. (Signed) Chas. R. Hall,

MING CONTEST.
The Proud Lily Art Club had oodles of joy and oceans of fun when Messrs. O'Neal, C. B. Hill, St. Clair Littlejohn, Grand Master Rector, Rev. Sawyer and Lawyer Ress trimmed six hats without putting antagonistic colors together. Some of the men exhibited good tastes, the only lacking essential was that no models were provided. The judges, Miss Marion F. Hemphill, Mesdames Effie Weldon and Geo. W. Anderson gave Noah O'Neal the prize for the best production. Too much honor could not be given to Mrs. Florence Smith for her insincerity.
