AUTOMOBILE TRAINING SCHOOL FOR NEGROES A Company of Business and Professional men of Kansas City have organized to establish a training school for Negroes, where they can learn the fine points of repairing and and caring for all makes of automobiles; traction engines and auto trucks, as well as driving all makes of cars. There is not a school in this part of the country that will admit Negro students to learn the automobile business. The men that are behind this school say that they believe it is their duty to see that the Negro Youth is given a chance to become a thorough automobile mechanic; as the demand is growing every day for competent repair men and chauffeurs. The chauffeur that can drive a car and cannot repair the same will have a poor chance to get a good job in the near future. Then there is a great opportunity for boys to go into the Rural Districts and open a general repair shops and become independent business men. This school will be located at 1420 22-24-26 Woodland Avenue. A modern steam heated brick building with thirteen thousand and two hundred square feet of floor space formerly occupied by the Sweeney auto training school. The 1917 class will start March 15th. More than 50 students have already enrolled. The officers are as follows: Fortune J. Weaver, President. Mr. Weaver is president of the local Negro Business League of Greater Kansas City, member of the Executive Committee of the National Negro Business League and president and general manager of the Afro-American Investment and Employment Company (Incorporated) the largest business of its kind in the world. Dr. Martin G. Brookins, Secretary and Treasurer; one of Kansas City's most prominent physicians, who pays taxes on several thousand dollars worth of property in Kansas City. Mr. James A. Davis, General Manager, a man who is thoroughly informed in all departments of the automobile business and has been employed for the past five years by a large firm here in the city as a buyer of automobile and ditircated metals. Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois was discharged from St. Luke's Hospital, New York City, January 22. He is rapidly regaining his strength and normal health. He wishes to express to his friends, known and unknown, in many parts of the country, his deep appreciation of their thoughtfulness and encouragement. COLORED OR CREOLE WOMAN WORTH $40,000 St. Louis.—Circuit Judge Henings last week took under advicement the question whether Elizabeth Mary Simpson. who died sixteen. years ago, leaving an estate of $40,000, was a Colored woman or a Creole. Elizabeth Simpson was the housekeeper for Peter Lehman, who at his death left her the Lehman homestead, worth $40,000. When the housekeeper died she willed the property to Lehman's cousin, Eugene Lehman. Six Mississippi Colored citizens who claim to be heirs of Elizabeth Simpson brought suit against Eugene Lehman and his wife and several white witnesses testified that they believed Mary Simpson was white. The Negroes, headed by Saulsbury Simpson, who claims to be a nephew of the deceased housekeeper, testified that she was Colored—a slave in Mississippi who was set free by her master, Peter Lehman, just before the Civil War. ADMITTED, BUT A BITTER PILL TO SWALLOW. Southerner Wants Negro to Learn to Fight. De Moines, Iowa.—The leading daily newspaper of this place, in a well-considered editorial expression with reference to the scant attention the Negro receives in times of peace and the solicitude vouchsafed him in time of war, says: A demand is now before Congress for a great national school for Negroes, made, strange as it may appear, by a Congressman from Tennessee. It is to be a school for military training. The Southern leaders who during fifty years of peace have permitted the Negro to secure his own training for civil life, have suddenly become thoroughly aroused to the need of government instruction in the art of war. Of course, if we are to prepare soldiers much may be said for the proposed school. The Negro has stood up beside the best soldiers in the world, and he is more willing to fight for the flag than many to whom the flag has meant more in privilege. But is it not worth thinking about that we should be so suddenly solicitous for the training of the Negro in times of war and little solicitous in times of peace? Suppose the Congress man from Tennessee had proposed a great national training school for the Negro fifty years ago to fit him better for the common duties of American life? Denver Star DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, MCH 10, 1917 R TIRED FROM NAVY AS CHIEF GUNNER'S MATE Philadelphia, Pa.,—John C. Jordan, wha lives at 1326 So. Mole street, this city, was retired recently from the United States Navy after thirty years service, having attained the rank of chief gunner's mate. He entered the service on June 17, 1887, at Washington, D.C. He completed the course at the Gunnery School, Washington, in 1893, and was the first Negro to do so. Mr. Jordan was on the Olympia, Dewey's flagship, at the battle of Manila Bay in 1878, and later was stationed at the Navy Academy, Annapolis, at the naval station, Culebra, Porto Rico, and the League Island naval station at Philadelphia, where he had charge of the rifle range at the time of his retirement. He has been awarded six medals from the government for Fidelity, Zeal and Obedience, and on his retirement received a letter from the Navy Department stating that he was "a valuable man in uplifting of the navy" and that "it regrets very much to see you retire from active life in the navy." Idaho Anti-Jap Land Bill to Be Killed in Senate. Boise, Idaho.—The antialien land bill was reported unfavorably by the senate committee on state affairs, but the senate, 24 to 11, ordered the bill printed. This action was taken on motion of the author of the bill. Many who opposed the measure said they favored its terms, but believed the time was inopportune. Governor Alexander received a telegram from Secretary Lansing asking his opinion of the possibility of passage of a pending bill against the intermarriage of whites and Mongolians. The supreme Court of the State of Tennessee has upheld Jennings's will. Jennings, a white man left a valuable farm of 1000 acres to Betty Hicks, a colored woman, by whom he had ten children. The will was drawn up by a white lawyer who refused to testify to his signature until paid $1,000 which he claimed was due him. After two weeks in jail, he changed his mind. Two hundred striking Negro miners at the Banner Mines near Birmingham, Ala. have refused to come out of the mines or to allow anyone to enter. The men are convicts and have quantities of dynamite. They complain of ill treatment. SUPREMACY." Nearly forty years ago, the South was given a free hand to do as it pleased with the franchise of the colored race living there. President Hayes paved the way for "white supremacy." For a short while northern white men, colored men and some southern men ruled the South. This regime is called by the South "carpet bag." Too often it has been maliciously stated that this was the curse of the South. This is NOT true! While the so-called "carpet - baggers" ran the government of the south, the people enjoyed an orderly government, save out bursts of violence from lawless white southerners. The presence of federal soldiers made the South respect law. Their withdrawal was a signal for "legal violence." The shibboleth was "white supremacy." Under "white supremacy" have grown up men like Tillman, Cole Blease, James K. Vardaman, Hoke Smith and many others. Under its regime the South has had a withering blight of lawlessness; lynching, burning, murder, peonage, white cappers and new shirts. Constitutional government has given away to mob "law." The courts have been subsidized by poiificians; education denied the poor whites, while the colored people have suffered almost the loss of all educational advantages. Race prejudice, like a hyena, creeps stealthily into everything. Christianity has been made the vehicle for spreading snobbishness and hypocrisy; church unity halted because of the black Christian. Segregation in cities, "jim crowism" in public conveyances and brutal oppression meet you at every turn. At no stage in America's history has civilization been so low as now while "white supremacy rules." Not only has it gripped the South but it is cautiously planting itself everywhere. "White supremacy" may be defined as the absolute independence of white men to law and order. From "white supremacy" the colored South is running. Heaven smile upon their flight. Judged by its own record, "white supremacy" is the reign of brutal terror and barbarous ferocity. Under it all races retrograde. It is not time for the reign of "law and order" to be installed by the votes of the governed? Among the sufferers under this greatest evil, the colored race has been and is the principal. Like slavery, it must go. Let our people leave the South till it feels their absence sorely and this will put an end to "white supremacy" vuicker than anything else. The white South does not like work, especially in the hot sun. Send it into the fields and you will cure it. We rejoice in the fact that the or NEGROES DYING BY HUN- DREDS IN NORTH'S CITIES Chicago, Ill., March 5.—Accepting a warning from Philadelphia public health authorities, Health Commissioner Robertson will today begin a thoro investigation of health and housing conditions in Chicago's "black belt." An epidemic of tuberculosis and other contagious diseases is feared, since thousands of Negroes have been imported by stockyards and labor agencies to replace immigrant labor cut off by the European war. In Philadelphia 700 are reported dying. Five thousand negroes have come to Chicago since the first of the year and 20,000 to 30,000 more are expected. Heretofore Negroes have come North, West and East all times during a year on visit individually and collectively and there were no enormous death rate among them, but it seems that when the Negro is migrating where wages are better, into more healthful surroundings with modern conveniences, good school facilities, advantages and accommodation assured of political rights and other beneficial equipment for a useful American citizen, that now the Southern Negro cannot stand that sudden transitive and ultimate change. Better come North, East or West and take just one full deep breath of free, unpollut ed and unafraid Air of American atmosphere as it exist there than live down there under such galling unjust restraints and unpunished crime. Negroes have died in North; have died in South be before and die everywhere and anywhere they go, so that the dying should not stop the exodus. Come on and out in to God's country, get on a farm and make Colorado blossom like a rose. No real gain without some loss, sacrifice or suffering. Remember that the above figures are so adjusted, combined and handled, that, even if true, you are supposed to get very little advantage or comfort out of them. Who can blame a determined hust ling Negro from improving his condition? The North, West and East does not want nor need that kind of a Negro that newspaper headlines can or will scare into inactivity. The colored town of Taft, Okla., has a telephone exchange with colored girls, a colored station agent and a colored telegraph operator. dinary colored man is solving his own problem. "Go to it and free yourself of the incubus—"white supremacy." FIVE CENTS A COPY. AMERICAN NEGROES TO FIGHT FOR ALLIES There are more than three hundred Negroes from the United States in the construction batalion being recruited in Canada, soon to be sent to the scene of conflict in Europe according to J. R. H. Whitney editor of the Canadian Observer, who is in New York on business. Mr. Whitney is editor of the only colored paper published in Canada, and it has been due largely to his activities that the Government reached a decision to or organize a colored battalion. Over 200 colored men have joined white regiments and are at the front, many being citizens of the United States. When the question of or ganizing a separate colored battalion was first ed i Canada, Mr, Whitney petitioned to the governmental officials for an infantry battalion. It was decided, however, to recruit a construction battalion. Then an effort was made to secure all colored officers, but it was pointed out that, un like an infantry battalion, it was necessary that commissioned officers of a construction battalion be civil engineers. A compromise has been reached, giving all the no commissioned officers to Negroes. Two commissioned officers have been appointed—a chaplain and a medical of ficer—with rank of captain. The colored soldiers, who are members of what is known as Construction Bat tallion No 2, will sail for Europe some time in March. The following appeal has been made to colored Canadians to enlist in the newly formed battalion: Enlist today and prove your gratitude for the precious heritage of freedom found only in the British Empire and under the British flag. Fight for that flag, maintain it in the future as it has been maintained in the past. In this terrific struggle every man's help is needed and every true British subject will do his best regardless of color or creed. Not counting the cost. This is a Construction Battalion which is badly needed and must be raised with all possible speed. It is now more important than a fighting battalion because bridges railways and artillery roads which are being destroyed by the enemy in retreat, must be rebuilt immediately in order to keep the fighting men supplied with food and munitions of war. In discussing the question of recruiting in Canada, a representative of The Age ask Mr. Whitney if he regarded it a wise move to encourage the organization of separate regiments for Ne groes in view of the disposition of the government to take colored men in what are generally known as white regiments. Mr. Whitney expressed the opinion that the taking of colored men in white regiments is a personal matter-one purely optional with regiment al heads under the present volunteer system.

The number that gather daily to enjoy a game or two have made the authorities feel that no mistake was made when it was decided to put the table in. In this way a splendid opportunity is offered the young men to learn and play the game under the most favorable circumstances. The use of the table is a membership privilege, confined only to those who hold unexpired tickets in the Association. No one under the age of 14 is allowed to play. The candy-pulling social last Saturday evening was a complete success. Thirty boys—too many to be comfortably accommodated in our small rooms—were present. Credit for the best worked candy rested between Samuel Franklin and Theodore Morris. Many thanks are due Mrs. Parks, Mrs. Borwn and Mrs. Holloway who were kind enough to cook the candy for us. A splendid program was rendered at the men's meeting last Sunday afternoon at four o'clock by the Gospel team from the Trinity M. E. Church, led by Dr. Styles. On account of the absence of some of the members of the team the program could not be fully carried out as planned. Next Sunday afternoon the address will be delivered by the Rev. F. E.

Champa 2962 OPPORTUNITY OFFERED TO NEGROES IN THE ARMY Government Will Give Educated Men Chance to Become Officers. A military training camp for colored men is advocated in an open letter from Dr. J. E. Spingarn, well known as a friend of the Negro race, who says: "To the Educated Colored Men of the United States; "It is of the highest importance that the educated colored men of this country should be given opportunities for leadership. You must cease to remain in the background in every field of national activity and must come forward to assume your right places as leaders of American life. All of you cannot be leaders, but those of you who have the capacity for leadership must be given an opportunity to test and display it. "There is now just such an opportunity possible for you in case of war to become leaders and officers instead of followers and privates. Major General Leonard Wood of the United States army, commanding the department of the east, has promised that if 200 of you apply for admission he will organize and maintain a military training camp for colored men, with just the sort of training to fit you to serve as officers of volunteers in case of war. "I do not believe that colored men should be separated from other Americans in any field of life. But the crisis is too near at hand to discuss principles and opinions, and it seems to me that there is only one thing for you to do at this juncture, and that is to get the training that will fit you to be officers, however and wherever this training may be obtained. If 200 of you do not send applications immediately the opportunity may be lost forever. "The camp will be conducted on exactly the same principles as the military training camp held at Plattsburg, N. Y., where thousands of men have received intensive training in military service. It will be under the direction of United States army officers. It will last four weeks. The date has not been fixed, but it will probably begin early in June. The status of every student at the camp will be that of a cadet, just as at West Point. "I understand that the transportation to and from the camp will be defrayed by the government and that the subsistence and training at the camp will be free. It is probable that every man will have to pay his own fare to the camp and that after he arrives his traveling expenses will be refunded and his fare home paid. The only expense will be the cost of the uniform, which each man must furnish himself. This consists of a khaki blouse, khaki breeches, two olive drab shirts, web belt, campaign hat and cotton leggings, costing in all about $8 or $10. Any good russet walking shoes will do. The outfit may be purchased on arrival at camp, or, better still, from the Army and Navy Co-operative company, with branches in New York, Washington and Philadelphia. Almost any sporting goods store can furnish the outfit, which must be of the regular army pattern. Those who wish to do some study in advance are advised to read "Moss' Manual of Military Training." "Candidates must be between the ages of twenty and forty-five, in vigorous health and of good moral character. Men who are graduates or undergraduates of colleges, high schools, normal, agricultural or industrial schools or other institutions of learning are preferred, but any man of intelligence, character and ability may join. Previous military experience is not necessary. If you are not a graduate or undergraduate of some institution it might be advisable to have a letter of recommendation from some person of repute. "Send in your own application immediately. But that is not enough. Go out among your friends and persuade them to do the same. We must not let this chance slip. We must have as many colored officers as possible." "Applications should be sent to Dr. J. E. Spingarn, 9 West Seventy-third street, New York. A brief letter, with a few details about yourself, will be sufficient for the present. We must persuade General Wood that over 200 men want to join immediately." Brooklyn Pays Honor to Douglass. The one hundredth anniversary of the birth of Frederick Douglass, the noted colored educator and orator, was celebrated in Brooklyn at a dinner held at Rockwell terrace, under the auspices of the Citizens' club of Brooklyn. This organization, which is of a nonpartisan nature, has for its purpose the furtherance of men of the colored race. The principal speaker of the evening was Municipal Court Justice Robert H. Terrell of the municipal court of the District of Columbia, one of the few court officials in the United States who have Negro blood in their veins. Judge Terrell's address dwelt upon the achievements of Douglass and pointed out various important positions of trust held by men of the race. Dines Investment Company Directors. Harry Ratcliff, vice president of the Eureka Investment company, gave a dinner recently in honor of the members of the board of directors of the company at his home on Catharine street, Philadelphia. Mr. Ratcliff has the distinction of being the first porter on the first parlor car run by the Pennsylvania railroad. He was in the employ of the company for thirty years. Mr. Ratcliff retired from the service of the Pennsylvania railroad in 1913. He is sixty-nine years of age. HAMPTON SCORES AGAIN. Takes Basketball Game From Speedy Howard University Team. By LAWRENCE A. LEE. Hampton, Va.-Howard university's basketball team suffered defeat at the hands of the speedy Hampton Institute quintet in the latter's gymnasium the latter part of February. The gymnasium was crowded to its full capacity by the enthusiastic sympathizers of both teams. Although Howard was defeated by a large score, the game was interesting and the clean sportsmanlike spirit that was exhibited by both teams was superior to anything seen on the Hampton court this season. From the beginning the game seemed to have been in the Virginians' favor. With Edwards in forward and Dorsey in guard it seemed almost impossible for Howard to keep the ball in their zone. Time and again the capital city lads brought the ball from one end of the court to the other, but their lack of ability to cage it was a great handicap. Hampton showed a great deal of improvement in teamwork and goal shooting over their last game. Sensational shots were made by Edwards, Gurnoe and Dorsey. During the first half the Seasiders held the Collegians to two field goals and three foul goals. Hampton was able to cage six field goals and two foul goals during this half, hence the half ended 14 to 7. The final score was 35 to 11. INDIAN PREFERS NEGROES. Native In Customs Service In New York Has Many Friends. The following appears in the current issue of the Bulletin Journal of the Surveyors and Customs Welfare association. Mr. Tolbert, who is a genuine American, unlike his white brethren prefers the association of the Negro, though a genuine Indian. The Mohawks are the aristocrats of the Indian tribes. "The oldest living Mohawk Indian is in the customs service at the port of New York. William A. Tolbert, who was born in New York city eighty years ago and who was appointed a night inspector in the customs service thirty-five years ago, is still on duty in the office of Deputy Collector J. Castree Williams. "Mr. Tolbert has the unique distinction of being the only employee of undoubted American ancestry in the customs service at New York. His parents, who belonged to the Mohawk tribe, removed from the Onondaga reservation to the city in the nineteenth century. There are now none surviving of those to whom the Indians were a familiar figure many years ago on West street, between Cortlandt and Beach streets, where from crude stands on the sidewalk they sold moccasins, baskets and other trinkets which they themselves made by hand." Fine High School in Washington, D.C. The Dumbar high school now has an enrollment of 1,149 pupils, and the faculty embraces forty-eight teachers in the various departments. The graduating class last June numbered 112 pupils. The new building, rated as the "last word" in school architecture, is one block long and has the appearance of a feudal castle. It has an immense auditorium, scores of classrooms, drill hall, lunch rooms and kitchen, rest rooms, laboratories, a fine pipe organ and every educational accessory that modern methods of instruction call for. The school is a credit to the race and is an addition to the uplifting influences of the nation's capital of which every citizen is justly proud. Douglass' Centenary Widely Observed. Celebrations in honor of the one hundredth anniversary of the birth of Frederick Douglass were held in all sections of the country during the month of February. At Boston the mayor issued a proclamation calling upon the people of the city to observe Wednesday, Feb. 14, as Douglass day. An ordinance was also passed by the city council naming the junction at Tremont, Cabot and Hammond streets, Roxbury, Frederick Douglass square. Douglass purchased his own freedom, worked for the freedom of his own race, served the nation in peace and war and died recognized as one of America's foremost citizens. Pittsburgh Church Installs New Pastor The Monumental Baptist church Pittsburgh, began a series of specia meetings in connection with the in stallation of its new pastor, the Rev J. H. Watkins, on Sunday, Feb. 18, to continue until Thursday evening March 1. The aim of the congregation is to raise $1,000 for building fund pur poses during these meetings.

The Negroes of the United States, especially in the South, can easily see how they, while not in the war, like Africa was, would be in the midst of it if Germany could have induced Mexico to invade the United States thru the Southwest. There has never been any doubt in the mind of the Star as to the loyalty and duty of the Negro, but this situation has caused many sober head to think America first and leave off all hyphens and prefixes. When a man becomes an American citizen, he is supposed to blend every extraction into that composite name. But thru scientific racial prejudice now practiced by certain Europeans, he becomes half instead of a whole. Citizens, no more than individuals, cannot serve two masters. It is either Germany or America? We say America all the time! HE IS ALWAYS IN IT. There are very few events of National importance to the United States in which the Colored man has not figured in some way. We was with Columbus when he discovered America; he was among the first to die in the Revolutionary war; he was with Jackson in the war, of 1812; he was with Perry in the battle on Lake Erie; he was in the civil war to the number of nearly 200,000; he was much in evidence at San Juan Hill; he was with Pearcy at the discovery of the North Pole; he was quite a feature in the recent Mexican trouble and now it seems he is to be the cause of getting us into the world war, if color prejudice does not prevent George Washington, the American citizen who was killed on the British ship Turino from receiving the same consideration as an American citizen that any other citizen is entitled to. AT THE GOVERNOR'S RECEPTION Scarcely has it ever happened that our prominent and representative women of color, have thought seriously enough as to attend the public function of the State. Wednesday, Mesdames John P. Starks, Johnathan R. Contee and Laurence H. Lightner took advantage of the public invitation extended and visited the public reception of our first lady of the state. They were cordially received and treated royally. Morrison's Orchestra and entertainers played and sang, while Miss Jessie Andrews was the soprano. Her soft, penetrating voice so full of music, made an indelible impression, so we are told. Mrs. J. R. Contee was the spokeswoman of the party and a worthy representative. It is thought that this present administration has been impressed that both the Governor and legislature represent all the people and that Negroes are keenly alive to the interests of the State. The Governor's wife has proven worthy of the esteem and high reputation she bears as the first lady of the State. NO COMPROMISE—NO JIM CROW ACADEMY. The bill introduced in Congress by R. W. Austin of Tennessee to establish a Negro Military Training School is one of the most infamous measures ever introduced at Washington. The Colored people of the country, that is the thinking, far-sseeing, intelligent people, bow their heads in shame to know that there are Colored men so degraded and so indifferent to their standing among men that they will sponsor such a bill. It is clear to us that if such a bill was not necessary it would never have been introduced by Congressman R. W. Austin of Tennessee. No distinction has been made with students of other races who have military ambitions and Negros will not accept nothing less than equal facilities and equipment, such as are allowed others with them. The next step will be to have a Jim Crow ballot box. We want no Jim Crow Naval Academies, nor West Points, however glittering the possibilities. If Georgia can successfully hang, burn and maltreat hundreds of Negroes for nothing and nothing done about it, how many thousands of Negro firemen or stokers will Germany be allowed to ruthlessly kill before the "overt" act is committed? Negro lives are held cheap. All-Star Negro Recital, People's Presbyterian Church, Thursday night, March 22. Admission, 25 cents. $2.00 1.00 .50 in rate, all subscriptions must be paid all.

The Star feels that where any person desires to emphasize musically the production of our Negro authors, that it should at least urge the people to turn out en masse and hear how Negroes interpret their own authors. On the 22nd of March the Presbyterian Church offers you an opportunity to go and hear productions of the Negro soul life. The Star advises that you go and hear and take your children. CHAS.

A PIONEER CITIZEN DIES—MRS J. W. CARRIE SR. SUGGUMS A long and well-spent life of usefulness, devotion and sacrifice, was ended when Mrs. John W. Carrie, Sr. of 2333 Ogden St., slipped away into eternity Saturday about 1:45 p. m. at her home. Mrs. Carrie, Sr., was well known and well liked by everyone and for years she lived in this community as a shining light before her family and all who knew her. Loved and respected by all and devoted to her family, she sacrificed freely for her church, family and friends. She is gone, having only to be proceeded by some months by her daughter, Maude, whom she adored. A large family and concourse of friends survive to mourn her loss. She was buried Wednesday afternoon by the Cammel Undertaking Co. Rev. Over officiating. MRS. FLORENCE WALTON WINS. Because she had proved that she had been previously divorced, Mrs. Florence Walton, thru her attorney, W. B. Townsend, won the last victory in the annulment proceedings, Monday, after a series of suits for divorce. The case occurred in the District Court, Monday, in Luther Walton vs. Florence Walton. Mrs. Walton lives at 162 Fillmore St. In tenderest loving memory of Lawrence D. George who departed this life March 10, 1916. We miss you from our home, We miss you from our place.

Eighth Street Baptist church has just closed a most successful revival with Rev. Mr. Chinn of Missouri, as the evangelist. Some twenty were added to the church and the last Sunday in February a big baptising took place. This church has called Mr. Chinn and it is believed that he will accept. Rev. Mr. Henry, pastor of Bethlehem Baptist Church, is quite a busy man and his church is also kept busy. Rev. Mr. Geiger, pastor of the M. E. Church, is winding up his affairs preparatory to going to his annual conference, the latter part of the month. Rev. Mr. Adams, who has recently returned from a visit to California, is back and has assumed the reins of his church (St. Paul A. M. E.), which was held by Rev. J. P. Watson while he was away. In a recent rally they raised and applied upon their debt something over $000. Rev. Mr. Harbert of St. John A. M. E. Church, is ever upon his job. He has shown himself to be a progressive Christian minister the short time he has been here, by the many improvements in his church services, church activities, etc. He has active management of his choir, which shows marked improvement. His "Seven Big Sundays and Twelve Big Events," which have been running the boards in his church since Jan 28, 1917, closes with Easter Sunday. Among the most important were Lincoln and Fred Douglass' Birthday Exercises, which brought out the Grand Army of the Republic and Sacred Choir Concert. The Federated Clubs celebrated Douglass' Birthday at St. John, Mar. 4, with a fine program. Monday night at St. Paul A. M. E. Church, a reception was tendered Rev. and Mrs. J. P. Watson, which was largely attended. Among the speakers were Rev. John Adams, Rev. R. H. Harbert, Mrs. Greer, "The Pueblo Cyclone," Rev. G. W. Henry and a paper by Mr. Sadler. The music was furnished by St. John A. M. E. Church Choir, except a piano solo by Miss Mabelle L. Harbert, and vocal solos by Rev. Cate and Miss Margaret Corley. Proper responses were made by Rev. and Mrs. J. P. Watson. Refreshments were served. The sister of Dr. Douglass' wife died last week and her remains were taken to Kansas to her mother and relatives, Mrs. R. J. Finley accompanying Mrs. Douglass. Sunday, Mar. 11, 1917, is scheduled to be a big day in St. John church. It is "Men's Day." The pastor, Rev. Mr. Harbert, has announced that he will preach at 11 upon "Man—God's Steward and Masterpiece." A big Civic mass meeting will take place at 3 o'clock p. m., when the Symposium—"The Colored man in Pueblo—is he, according to his opportunity, wisely laying foundations, commercial and otherwise, which will give him greater status among his neighbors" will be discussed. Messrs. Charles Holmes, James Weddington and Harry Fife, progressive race men and same thinkers, will lead the discussion. Music will be furnished by St. John Male Quartet. In the evening will be "Young Men's Evening." A fine program will be given, founded upon the following subjects: "Our Young Men —How they help or hinder the progress of their race.” R. R. Edmonson, “Industrial Trades—How they help solve the race problem.” J. W. Glass, “Watchman, What of the Young Negro man of tomorrow.” R. H. Prinkerton. Robert Kincaid will render a violin solo, James Ellison a trombone solo and J. Dee Tinsley, a clarinet solo, besides music by St. John Choiri INTERVENTION IN LIBERIA? United States Government Demands Revenue in African Republic. The English government has made informal inquiry of American diplomatic agents concerning the possibility of American intervention in Liberia. It is understood that the United States will make representations to Liberia strongly recommending and demanding institution of administrative reforms.

BY JOHN E. BRUCE "GRIT." Elwyn B. Fairweather is a rising young business man of British Honduras who is making good in a quiet, unostentatious manner. I asked Mr. Fairweather how long he had been engaged in business. "Most of my life, since I attained to my majority, has been devoted to the trading business, with the exception of a period of four years, when I was employed in the printing department of the government of British Honduras," he said. He added: "On realizing that my future depended solely on my own efforts I made a thorough and practical study of trading in all its various ramifications and subsequently resigned my position with the government and associated myself with my uncle, Walter H. Fairweather, in the cabinet manufacturing and trading M. ELWIN B. FAIRWEATHER, EQ. business and at the same time supervised the sale of the products of a large estate owned by the family, covering about seventy-five acres, situated in the Belize district of British Honduras. I remained with my uncle for a period of over three years and decided to act independently, and instead of attempting to create a local market for these goods I decided to come to the United States to introduce tropical products of Central America. "Men of my race who are in earnest and who desire to make money honestly in this kind of business can do so if they will. I am glad to be able to say that I have the confidence of the solid white business men with whom I am in daily contact in New York city. I once organized a company called the Leslie & Fairwether company, incorporated. Through an introduction which I had to the president of the J. & M. Jarmulowsky bank of East Broadway, and after informing him what I desired to do, he informed me that if I would demonstrate to him for two or three months what I could do with this business he would finance me to the extent of $50,000, but that I must show him that the goods would be coming in regularly, when he would take the matter up with me. With this understanding I opened an account with this bank and returned to Honduras to push my business. "The war broke out and brought such a strain on the New York banks that the smaller banks, many of them, either suspended or went out of business. Unfortunately for me the bank above mentioned went out of business. "My deposits and my prospects were all tied up, which necessitated my return to the United States. On my arrival here I found that it was impossible to obtain my deposit from this bank, but the same is now being returned to me at the rate of 10 per cent per annum. "I again opened negotiations with my West Indian and South American connections, and after meeting in conference some gentlemen in New York who claimed that they were in a position to finance my business I made a trip to Dutch Gulana, and while there I secured vast acres of mineral and timber lands. "I have been enabled to bring into this country through my connection in Central and South America, the West Indies and Hayti thousands of dollars' worth of native products." Mr. Fairweather left New York some days ago for an extended trip through Central and South America to buy 5,000,000 cocoanuts and other oil bearing nuts for a New York manufacturing concern. Mr. Fairweather is also representing a number of New York merchants who are desirous of introducing their goods in these countries. There is a big field in South America for enterprise Negroes.

Phone Main 1702 MAKING A "PLACE" A "COMMUNITY" PRAISE FOR NEGRO AGENTS Quitly, Faithfully and Efficiently They Are Laboring For Uplift of Rural Communities — Hampton Institute Helps In Co-operation—Serious Problems to Be Faced. By W. ANTHONY AERY. Bradford Knapp, chief of the states relations service, south, told this story recently at Hampton institute: "Organization by counties is too big, because the people don't know each other. I was out west once and was looking for a man I shall call Mr. Smith. I met an old colored man and said to him, 'Does Mr. Smith live in this community?' He said, 'What's dat, boss?' I said again, 'Does Mr. Smith live in this community?' He said, 'I knows Mr. Smith, but what's dat last word you say?' 'I said "community." Don't you know what that means? It means a place where people work together, have common interests and help each other.' He said, 'Oh, boss, dis is no community; dis is jes' a place.'" The sixteen local Negro demonstration agents who are working faithfully and efficiently under District Agent John B. Pierce to improve farming methods in seventeen counties of Virginia entered heartily into the spirit of Mr. Knapp's story, which emphasized the importance of the community idea. They accepted gladly the larger interpretation of the co-operative extension work, a work which is growing in proportion to the increase in funds provided by the Smith-Lever act. They listened attentively and responsively to the timely addresses delivered by officials of the extension division of the Virginia Agricultural and Mechanical college and Polytechnic institute at Blacksburg and the United States department of agriculture. Among those who spoke were: Charles G. Burr of Blacksburg, in charge of boys' clubs for Virginia and assistant state agent of farm demonstration work; L. A. Clinton, assistant chief of states relations service, north; F. S. Farrar of Burkeville, district agent for white farm demonstration work; Charles K. Graham, director of the Hampton institute agricultural department; I. W. Hill, chief of boys' club work in the south; Jesse M. Jones of Blacksburg, director of extension work for Virginia; John B. Pierce, district Negro agent for Virginia; T. O. Sandy, Virginia state agent of farm demonstration work; B. L. Tallafero, superintendent of the Sanitarium For Colored Tuberculosis Patients, Burkeville; Thomas C. Walker of Gloucester and members of the Hampton staff. For a week in February the local demonstration agents worked early and late,preparing themselves to carry out, even more effectively than they had been doing, the instructions of the states relations service. They worked over plans for organizing community clubs for adults and farm makers' clubs for boys ranging in age from ten to eighteen. Hampton institute put its resources at the disposal of the demonstration agents. Instruction was given by members of the agricultural department staff in the care of horses and mules, cows, hogs and poultry, in the management of farm crops and in the best methods of rural organization. Serious problems face these faithful pioneer agents as they go about their daily round of demonstration work for four days in the week and cultivate their home farms for two days each week, receiving for their services $50 per month, with no allowance for carriage hire. These problems may be briefly stated thus: What are the best methods of winning local financial aid from the Virginia county boards of supervisors for the salaries of local demonstration agents? What can be effectively done to make white and colored people alike realize the fundamental importance of having a community of alert, intelligent, well trained, thrifty farmers? What can be done to make it possible for competent men to receive enough salary so as to be able to afford to serve their communities as local demonstration agents and work their own farms for at least two days a week? These problems involve three important factors—finance, education, administration. A partial solution is indicated by the following facts: Fourteen out of the seventeen counties in Virginia in which farm demonstration work is now being done give financial aid. One industrial school helps to finance the demonstration work in two counties. In two other counties the farmers contribute financial aid and in still another county the Teachers' association makes a contribution in addition to the money which is given by the county board of supervisors. The local agents reported that they had received the moral support and hearty co-operation of country bankers, merchants and landlords. In several cases prominent white men have appeared before meetings of the boards of supervisors to ask that appropriations be made to help carry on the Negro demonstration work. The hearty co-operation of Jesse M. Jones, director of extension work for Virginia, is very valuable. RECORD OF CRIME AMONG/ EDUCATED COLORED PEOPLE Senator Vardaman's Statement of the Facts is Overdrawn. Senator Vardaman's statement that Negroes who can read and write are more criminal than the illiterates is reexamined by Judge Gilbert T. Stephenson of Winston-Salem, N. C., in the South Atlantic Quarterly. His method is that of instances rather than a comprehensive survey, but his figures are convincing, says the New York Evening Post. The president of Atlanta university says that, although the university follows the record of its graduates with great care, not a single one, so far as the authorities know, has ever been arrested for crime. Fisk university reports one graduate convicted and another dropped from the list for immoral conduct. Shaw university has almost as good a record. If such dangerous institutions as these do not develop criminal instincts in their students there can be nothing surprising in the failure of the industrial colleges to do so. Not one of the 300 graduates of the Agricultural and Technical college at Greensboro, N. C., has been convicted of crime and only five of the 2,000 who have matriculated, two of the five being expelled students. Less than half a dozen of the graduates of Hampton have been imprisoned for crime, and the same holds true for Tuskegee. As to the ability to read and write and no more, half of the Negro convicts in the Mississippi penitentiary had so much education and half lacked it. In the Atlanta county jail, however, seventy-five of the 100 Negroes could read and write. This looks damaging, but as only fifty had finished the first grade in school and none had gone through the eighth grade it would seem that if a little education is bad a little more is excellent. Chicago Association Holds Meeting. The annual meeting of the Chicago branch of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People was held at Abraham Lincoln Center, Oakwood boulevard and Langley avenues, Chicago. Former Judge Edward O. Brown delivered the president's address, and other speakers were Miss Catherine Johnson. Miss Minnie E. Low, Mrs. Cella Parker Woolley, Miss S. P. Breckinridge and Judge Robert McMurdy. A. K. Maynard read the secretary's report, and Dr. C. E. Bentley presented the statement of the treasurer. BUSINESS MEN'S MEETING. League Making Plans For Success of Chattanooga Convention. Tuskegee Institute, Alabama. At the last annual meeting of the National Negro Business league, which was held in Kansas City, Mo., in August, 1916, a number of invitations from various cities were presented and considered but the executive committee decided to accept the invitation from the committee from Chattanooga, Tenn., which was headed by G. W. Franklin, Jr. Mr. Franklin, who is a successful undertaker, has been for many years closely associated with the work of the business league and has served as president of the National Negro Undertakers' association, an affiliated organization of the league, since its organization. Already plans are shaping themselves for the success of this meeting. President J. C. Napier of Nashville considers it rather a fortunate circumstance that in this, the first year of its incumbency, the annual meeting should be held in his state. He, Secretary Emmett J. Scott, Mr. Franklin and other officers and members of the national executive committee are working together even now upon problems of entertainment, railroad rates and accommodations, and every indication points to a meeting of success and accomplishment.

Although ice cream was invented by a Negro and gives joy to millions in all parts of the civilized world, the Negro cannot share in the joy it gives by being served in some fashionable resorts where it is sold by the plate or in soda. The following acknowledgment of the origin and invention of this popular delicacy is from the Old Bay Line Magazine for January, 1917: "It is about 100 years since the first ice cream was invented by Sambo Jackson, a Negro confectioner in New York. Custards were Jack's specialty. One hot day he put a tin of custard in a bucket of cracked ice to cool it. Of course the custard froze. Jackson tasted it, made some more, liked it—so did his neighbors, so did his customers—and finally he evolved the frozen custard into modern ice cream, selling it in quart tins at a dollar a tin. He died rich, which, considering that he was an inventor, is more wonderful than his invention." Have you seen it?

Negroes Farming In Eastern Colorado. © 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 thetr friends and got others in- | pe i reales aoe > je f # te - a Sara | eee > Pa 96 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 now in Eastern Colorado five hun- dred colored families on farms and two thousand Negro farmers and farm hands. b W ; 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 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 Es es Ng 85 « te Sw ena eatacsgit Ses -/, ea eral eee eye) ase fie eS ss See ae nT t ah NE eee \ Oh ca + | | NeGRl Sales tea nike which are from 10 to 20 miles away, besides their mail orders and shipments from Den- ver and other places. The products of the farms ere 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 is 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 Dearfleld 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 Tarmers 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 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 being gobbled up by foreigners-and southerners the last call will svon be heard. Shall we asa race put off until at last too late?

HE IS RANKED WITH PLATO Work of ate Came le Lauded by te ona a hy Memphis, Tenn.—One of the most striking and farreaching tributes ever paid to a member of the Negro race by a distinguished an@ cultured mem- ber of the white race was rendered re- cently in the course of a public ad- dress in this city by Mrs. Isaac Reese, noted civic worker, a member of tho city bourd of education and president of the Nineteenth Century club, one of the strongest and most influential or- Gantzations of white women in the United States. In the course of her address Mrs. Reese spoke in part as follows: “The Negto race has no ground for iscouragement in view of the fact that within a short period of fifty years it has produced Booker T. Wash. = a ington, Paul Laurence Dunbar and one of your*fellow citizens, Sutton E. Griggs, I bave not bad the pleasure of meeting Sutton E. Griggs, but I have read a recent book written by him. It fs a most valuable book., “The author has spun out a new philosophy for the betterment of his race which has the opportunity of ren- dering @ greater service to his people than did the philosophy of Plato to the Greeks. Plato produced a philoso- phy with the hope of lifting a dying race. Sutton EB. Griggs has produced @ philosophy which, if followed, will inspire and elevate a beginning race. a rising race—the Negro race. The book should be in every: home of the race, and its teachings should be fol- lowed in full to the letter.” When it fs borne in mind that Plato was taught by Socrates and was the teacher of Aristotle, the three form- ing the trinity of the greatest philoso- phers that the human race has pro- duced, the stupendous nature of the tribute, placing the work of Sutton B. Griggs upon a higher plane of impor- tance than that of Plato, fs at once apparent, Another striking feature of the trib- ute is that Mrs. Reese classifies the philosophy as being new. Literary crit- ics have heretofore pronounced the writings of all philosophers since the days of Socrates, Plato and Aristotle as only an enlargement of the work of those men, but tie philosophy set forth by Sutton E. Griggs {s held up as something new, which would give to him the title of founder of a new system of philosophy. The estimate placed upon the work of Sutton B. Griggs by Mrs. Reese is in keeping with that of the celebrated civic work- er of Chicago, Mrs. Matthews, who is of the opinion that the book will mark ‘& new epoch in the world’s thinking. ‘The friends of Sutton E. Griggs throughout the country who have had full knowledge of his great zeal, single. minded devotion and painful sacrifices in the cause of his people rejoice to know \that there {s an awakening as to the true value of his services to the cause of humanity.

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 rea- soning or logic could show any more clearly and definitely just what co- operation 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 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 colot 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? 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 com- pelled to hire extra help.

When the calves decid- ed to get together for their own benefit first all opposition failed.

HARRIS’ JUBILEE SINGERS AT SHORTER—BETTER THAN * } EVER Seven musical artists of mirth, mer- riment, melody and Joy, delighted a crowded church at Shorter Church, Wednesday night, March 7. Our own home-boy, “Willle Burns,” with his greatly improved and cultivated voice, simply thrilled the audience as he sang “Old Kentucky Home.” Constant study has improved his voice and the audience warmly responded by giving him a most beautiful boquet of flow- ers. Denver was proud of her “Willie Burns” that night. The other artists, including the pianist with his wonder- ful touch and interpretation, easily sang themselves deeply into the hearts of the Denver community and the indelible impression will never wear off. Mr. Hann, as the funny man, rivalling at times the Reader of Dun- bar, was best in his Carmen's ;"Tore- ador,” which called for another en- ‘core. The singers and pianist are great in doing such an uplift work. ‘The same standard set last yeur has given the company their well-earned name for brilliant entertainers, excel- lent singers and wonderful in Jubilee work: Na OO a a } Poro Scalp Treatment Graduate Poro College, St. Louis, Mo.
