Denver Star

It Pays To Advertise. Get Wise and Let The Denver Star Talk For You The Denver Star ESTABLISHED 1888 The papers formerly known as The Statesman and The Independent, have been merged into The Denver Star IN TIMES LIKE THESE GOD GIVE US MEN TWENTY-SEVENTH YEAR Number 179 The world, the nation, the state and society is demanding of the present day legislature to inform, rather than invent or circumvent; to be accurate rather than be original; to chronicle facts, observations and helpful experience of others, not put forth their own desires, prejudices or caprices; to illumine hidden and dangerous paths of trouble and confusion already avoided which shall act as a guide to a protected future. To criticise, if need be, yet always fairly with facts and accumulated data supporting, and in furtherance of the ends of justice; to analyze, classify and arrange, and from a mass of discordant views, material race make adjustment. No matter how distasteful or repugnant to them as individuals, extract all the useful, separating the good from the bad, rejecting the obsolete and searching at all times for guiding principles to the end, that all the laws, actions and deeds of the legislature will encourage by emblazoning the dark pathway of the humblest, as well as tickling the fancy of the highest, or one filled with the most venomous poison of race or color hate or prejudice. And when we see a legislator being guided and acting by a prejudicial thought or action of another, one naturally concludes that that public official is to the same extent filled with prejudice. So it was when Senator Eaton of his own accord opened the flood gates discriminating between Negroes and Mulattoes. Science Crumbles Prejudices. In the Sociological Review. October, 1912, G. Spiller, noted scientist and anthropologist, wrote on "Science and Race Prejudice." And speaking of color prejudice, says, that color prejudice is especially fatuous . . . Many a Mongol is yellower, and many an Indian no browner, than many a Caucasian. The whiteness of the "white" is a pure fable. We know of white bears, but not of white human being, except in likeness. What is more, the color differences between white people are radical. The typical fair white and dark white—Swedish blonde and say, Neapolitan—are really further removed from each other in color of skin, hair and eyes, than is, say the Neapolitan from the Negro, and yet, it is interesting to reflect, Europeans freely intermarry without any weighing of color values. If we visit some parts of Africa, the "white" man proves to be "black." It must be a surprise, therefore, to the educated layman that anthropologists have not rigidly separated the European blonde type and the European brown type into distinct races, and it would be satisfying legitimate curiosity to receive an explanation of that. (Prof. Tyler, Anthropology, 1995, pp 9, 106-7 and Prof. Huxley.) This, however, would raise the color problem as a whole, and nothing could be more hopeless than to expect to arrive at any scientific classification of humanity by taking note of skin color. We must acknowledge, therefore, that the division of mankind into "white" and "colored" is not only offensive but unscientific. (Senator Eaton, consult any Colorado professor of biology, ethnology or anthropology and see if G. Spiller is not correct.) Strangeness tends to create, especially among the uneducated, a certain dislike or prejudice that under favorable circumstances is quickly overcome, but which, under unfavor able circumstances, develops into a settled hatred. Granting the relative unimportance of physical character istics, it is still maintained by some that the white man has an instinctive repugnance to the other types, especially to the Negro type, and that this alone is sufficient to justify any and every step taken by the white man to prevent all intercourse between himself and the other races, since this might ultimately lead to miscegenation and interracial marriage. We will not question the logic of this train of reasoning, but examine the assumed facts. First of all, we find no "instinctive" repugnance to such racial unions, except among the Teutonic and Anglo-Saxon peoples, always remembering that not a few individuals belonging to these stocks indulge in illicit relations when occasion offers, as in the Colonies or in the United States, and securedly it is fairly evident from Shakespeare's Othello and from his Anthney and Cleopatra, for instance, that a few centuries ago colour prejudice was probably a negligible quantity even in the north of Europe. We may regard it hence as a passing, tho none the less painful incident in history that men should be today prejudice against those of other colour. However, assuming this prejudice as existing, tho not as ineradicable, is it likely, we ask, that a hostile and haughty attitude will produce the minimum of miscegenation? As a matter of fact war is the most potent cause of race mixture, and domi- DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, MARCH 17, 1917 nation endangers the self-respect of the dominators and dominated alike and leads thus to inter-mixing. On the contrary, friendly relations allow group consciousness and group self-respect to be fully developed, and in this way discourage promiscuous miscegenation and interracial marriage. France and England are on the best of terms and near neighbors, and yet the rate of intermarriage between them is wholly negligible. Why fear, then, amicable contact between the various races of mankind? That there may be social and civic intercourse without prejudice to race purity is well illustrated by Jews, Catholics and Protestants, not infrequently living together as members of one and the same State and yet rarely inter-marrying, especially where there is no persecution. The English scientist concludes as follows: "Having regard to the results of the analysis, it is out of the question to justify the race-prejudices of the Caucasian on the ground of science or calm reflection. Rather are they due, so it seems, to an over-strained consciousness of his recent high attainments, coupled with a forgetfulness to study adequately and sympathetically the attainments of other races, and, not least, with a desire financially to exploit culturally backward races. Indeed, the emphatic claims of white men to a unique and ruling position in the hierarchy of mankind, seem almost unintelligible when we reflect that the white people lived in a primitive condition for many thousands of years; that they but yesterday emerged out of barbarism without apparently undergoing any domestic or structural changes; that the various blond peoples in Asia and Africa do not stand higher culturally than the darker population among whom they dwell; that young Negroes taken as it were fresh from the tribes in South or West Africa, pass with no special difficulty thru modern universities. If we adopt this theory we shall, with one stroke, remove innumerable prejudice, and race prejudice among them. We shall cease exploiting, maltreating and discriminating against other races. We shall understand the growth of democratic institutions in the widest sense of leaving the educated masses to decide the course of affairs and the destiny of a people. We shall see that women are no more likely to inferiors to men by nature than Chinamen are likely to be inferiors to Caucasians. We shall discount religion and class prejudice and recognize vast possibilities in every normal individual. We shall find good reasons for being patriots and pacifists, but none for considering our nation inherently superior to other nations. We shall grasp the fact that the solitary individual can contribute to solving, but that he can not solve himself great problems. In a word, we shall rid ourselves of prejudice of race, nation, class, caste and sex, and we shall turn to science, to social and moral endeavor, to co operation, to simple living, to education, to international al and interracial efforts, for the purpose of removing present ills and pushing the car of progress a mile or two forward. Leaving aside individual variations and congenial deformity, we may roughly say of mankind, Birth Counts for Nothing, civilization for everything Which explains why we found it reasonable to suggest that the races of men are substantially equal in inborn capacity and are equally civilisable. The leadership of mankind belongs to no race in particular. [Science and Race Prejudice by Spiller, Sherratt & Hughes, London and Manchester, Eng.] DuBois on Intermarriage. Few groups of people are forced by their situation into such cruel dilemmas as American Negroes. Nevertheless, they must not allow anger or personal resentment to dim their clear vision. Take for instance, the question of intermarrying of white and black folks: it is a question that colored people seldom discuss. It is about the last of the social problems over which they are disturbed, because they seldom face it in fact or in theory. Their problems are problems of work and wages, of the right to vote, of the right to travel decently, of the right to request places of public amusement, of the right of public security. White people, on the other hand, for the most part profess to see but one problem, "Do you want your daughter to marry a Negro?" Sometimes we are led to wonder if they are deceiving about their anxiety on this point, and if they are not, we are led to ask, why under the present laws anybody should be compelled to marry any person whom she did not wish to marry. This brings us to the crucial question, so far as the present advisability of intermarrying between white and colored people in the United States is concerned, both races are practically in complete agreement. Colored folk marry colored folk, and white marry white and the exceptions are very few. Why not then stop the exceptions? For three reasons, physical, social and moral. 1. For the physical reason that to prohibit such intermarriage would be publicly to acknowledge that black blood is a physical taint—a thing that no decent, self-respecting black man can be asked to admit. 2. For the social reason that if two full-grown responsible human beings of any race and color propose to live together as man and wife, it is only social decency not simply to allow, but to compel them to marry. For far better is it better to have legal marriages of such people than to have concubinage, prostitution and illicit cohabitation between them. 3. The moral reason for opposing laws against intermarriage is the greatest of all, such laws leave the colored girl absolutely helpless before the lust of white men. It reduces colored women in the eyes of the law to the position of dogs. Low as the white girl falls, she can compel her seducer to marry her. If it were proposed to take this last defense from poor white working girls, can you hear the screams of the "white slave" defenders? What have these people to say to laws that propose to create in the United States, five million women, the ownership of whose bodies no white man is bound to respect?" Senator Eaton's bill picks out Negro and Mulatto women and desires to legislate against them exempting women of all other races to be similarly placed. His reason or motive must be placed upon facts, opinions or guesses. He possesses no facts to warrant this bill and therefore we say he introduced this bill based upon his guess, opinion or prejudice against our women. Schouler on Domestic Relations Says: A void marriage is a mere nullity and its validity may be impeached in any court, whether the question arises directly or collaterally, and whether the parties be living or dead . . . Void marriages makes cohabitation unlawful and bastardizes the issue . . . The moment the sentence of nullity is pronounced, the shield of the law falls, the incidents vanish and innocent offsprings are exposed to the world as bastards. Page 25 art 14. The bond of marriage being lossened, marriage degenerates, society goes headlong and the flood gates of licentiousness once fully opened, the hand must be strong that can close them. If intermarriage; between blacks and whites was a wrong against nature, why not let nature herself visit the severest punishment upon these intermarrying, without stabbing at those whose actions demonstrate their thoughts? "All marriages of idiots, lunatics and all others who have not the use of their understanding are absolutely void. The law forbids free Negroes and slave Negroes to marry, also forbid Negroes, Indians and white races to intermarry (U. S. Act. 1866.) also Catholics and Protestants and members of different social work. 'And the manifest tendency of the day is toward removing all legal impediments of rank and condition, leaving individual tastes and social manners to impose the only restrictions of this nature." Prof. Franz Boas of Columbia University, N. Y., who went to California, the hotbed of anti-Japanese feeling and said: All this feeling out here in California against intermarriage of Americans and Japanese as well as between whites and other oriental peoples, is simply foolish sentimenatlity, without the slightest biological foundation. Practically all the population of Europe is the product of the most widely divergent racial inter-mixtures. Humanity fundamentally is very nearly identical to the world over, no matter what may be the color or race." Another White Man Speaks of Cold, Scientific Facts Prof. Jacques Loeb of the Rockefeller Institute for medical research said at the recent Sagamore conference: Biology has nothing to support the supposition that a pure white or pure black race is superior to a Mulatto. On the contrary, Luther Burbank's success lies in finding breeds that possess superior powers of resistance to climatic and other hardships. Various other scientists, biologists and eugenicists have found that the offspring of mixed races are, hardier offspring. While in some cases a mixed progeny is worse, in others it is better than a pure breed, and that scientific fact is enough to show the absurdity that intermarriage of white and black race should be considered a felony." America is itself the result of a mixture of races." "Unity" of Chicago says of the proposed intermarriage in Congress:—"The law that is needed in the District of Columbia and thruout the South is one that would hold a white man responsible for his child, whether the mother is black or white. Intermarriage between the race sanctioned by religion and enforced by law, is a thousand times less degrading and dehumanizing than the present situation, which results in the continuous, and according to some good authorities, increasing stream of Mulatto children born in the world."

Success Crowns Work of University Named For General O. O. Howard. Festivities Lasting Three Days Furnish Social and Intellectual Feast For Faculty, Students and Friends. Washington.—The celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of Howard university, held from March 1 to 3, inclusive, was easily one of the most notable events in the history of the Negro people since emancipation. This was shown by the character of those who came back from their various fields of work to take part in the celebration of their alma mater's good old age and in the character of the great men and women who took part in the proceedings as principals. The first two days of the celebration, notably the most farreaching in interest, were devoted to the discussion of sociological problems which confront the Negro people. It was called the "sociological conference." The conference was opened by President S. M. Newman of the university, outlining the purpose and scope of the conference, followed by the discussion of the subject "Ownership of Rural and Urban Homes" by Dr. J. H. N. Waring, President N. B. Young of the Florida Agricultural and Mechanical college and Dr. R. R. Wright, Jr., editor of the Christian Recorder, Philadelphia. Dean Kelly Miller presided. The paper on business enterprises was read by Monroe N. Work, director of the division of records and research at Tuskegee institute, and was discussed by William Anthony Aery of Hampton institute and Fred R. Moore of New York. On the second day the subject of discussion was "Education." Dean Lewis B. Moore presided. The paper was read by Roscoe Conkling Bruce, assistant superintendent of schools for the District of Columbia, and was discussed by Dean Benjamin G. Brawley of Morehouse college and others. "Health and Sanitation" was by far the most important paper discussed at the conference. This paper was read by Dr. C. V. Roman, A. M., of Nashville. It was not only eloquent in its word painting, but luminous and conclusive in its facts. Miss Mary W. Ovington and Eugene Knickle Jones of New York participated in the discussion. In the afternoon "Race Cooperation After Fifty Years" was discussed by Professor A. M. Trawick and others. The mass meeting at Convention hall was presided over by ex-Chief Justice Stanton Judkins Peelle, LL. D. Addresses on "The Significance of the Fifty Years of History of Howard University and of the Advance of the Colored Race, With Which It Is Connected" were delivered by the Hon. Franklin Knight Lane, secretary of the interior; Professor Carl Kelsey, Ph. D. of the University of Pennsylvania; President H. T. Kealing, D. D., of Western University and Bishop Wilbur P. Thirkield. The music, under the leadership of Professor Roy W. Tibbs, was excellent. The musical festival was held at the Dunbar High school. The mass meeting at the First Congregational church, presided over by Dr. J. H. N. Waring, was a meeting to commemorate the birth of the university and the signing of the charter, March 2, 1867. It was one of the most soul stirring of gatherings, because all those who participated in it were identified with the life and fortunes of the university. Notable addresses were delivered by Professor Richard T. Greener, Judge George W. Atkinson and Dr. W. A. Sinclair. On Saturday, the third and last day of the celebration, there were reunions by departments and classes and a general alumni rally, the latter being presided over by Shelby J. Davidson, the president of the General Alumni association, who delivered an address of welcome. Addresses were also delivered by John C. Asbury of Philadelphia and Rev. George Frazier Miller of New York. Presidents of visiting colleges were entertained at luncheon Saturday night by the trustee board. Howard university owes its existence to the devotion and self sacrifice of General Oliver O. Howard, a soldier of the Union army and a lover of all races, without distinction of color, and who denied himself that others more needy might have advantages which he had enjoyed of opportunity and education. The results of fifty years of work done by the university, as shown in its results, more than justifies the faith of its namesake and benefactor, who has "passed beyond the bar, where we all hope for him there was no mourning when he went out to sea." Colonel Charles Young's Leadership. The success of Lieutenant Colonel Charles Young as an official in the United States army is concrete evidence of the colored man's ability to overcome severe difficulties, even though given only half a chance. Colonel Young is not only a true and tried soldier, who has seen service at the front, but is an organizer and leader of men. Noted Methodist Divine Given Royal Birthday Fete. FEATURES OF THE FUNCTION Miles Memorial Colored M. E. Church at Louisville, Ky. Houses Conferences Over Which Bishop C. H. Phillips Presides—They Pay Tribute to His Love of Labor. Louisville, Ky.—This city was recently the scene of a most important event to a host of loyal members of the colored Methodist Episcopal church in America. It was the occasion of the celebration of one of their most distinguished leaders' birthday, the Right Rev. Charles Henry Phillips, bishop presiding over the Fourth Episcopal district, known throughout the country as a race man, a scholar and an administrative officer. The celebration took place at the Miles Memorial C. M. E. church, located at Bland street and Burnett avenue, of which the Rev. C. L. Howard is pastor. Rev. Mr. Howard is one of the most progressive of the many strong pastors of Louisville and in a very short time has actually built a splendid church house and also a residence for the pastor, of which the members and supporters of the church, as well as all church people of Louisville, are justly proud. Leading ministers and laymen from several states attended the celebration which was held under the auspices of the four conferences, presided over by Bishop Phillips, and there were also represented on the program several leading local members of the race. For two days at the Miles Memorial church appropriate programs were carried out incident to the celebration, and a number of addresses were made by representative members and supporters of colored Methodism. "Why We celebrate the Birthday of Our Bishop" was the subject on which Dr. J. L. Thompson, presiding elder of the Cleveland (O.) district, spoke. Another address, "Bishop Phillips as a Classmate," was delivered by Bishop I. B. Scott, retired missionary bishop to Africa, who is a lifelong friend of Bishop Phillips and a classmate of his at Walden university many years ago at Nashville, Tenn. Rev. H. A. Stewart of Millersburg, Rev. L. F. Howard, Dr. G. M. Noble and various others paid tribute to Bishop Phillips' character and worth in highly interesting talks. Miss L. Emma Louise Phillips, daughter of the bishop, furnished several musical selections that were greatly appreciated by those who heard her. Mrs. C. L. Howard, the lovable wife of the pastor of the Miles Memorial church, also sang beautifully to the delight of the audiences. A magnificent banquet was held in the basement of the church. This came at the close of a fine program of addresses, and the friends of the bishop were in a splendid mood to partake of the delicacies which had been provided for them. Dr. L. H. Brown, presiding elder of the Louisville district of the C. M. E. church, acted as master of ceremonies and in his most commanding bearing and dignified air immensely pleased those present as a past master at presiding over such an affair. Bishop I. B. Scott, Colonel Roscoe C. Simmons, Professor A. F. Mazeek, Rev. Dr. Harris and others made addresses at this delightful function. Coming up from Nashville to be present at the celebration were the following members of the bishop's family: Dr. J. T. Phillips, Miss Ladye Emae Louise Phillips, Mrs. Carlotta Phillips James and Mrs. W. J. Anderson, an aunt, Dr. C. H. Phillips, Jr., and Mrs. Lucy Phillips Stewart of St. Louis came over to the celebration in honor of their distinguished father. Also included among those from out of the city to attend was D. Willington Berry, a staff representative of the Nashville Tennessee and American. Mr. Berry is one of our most capable and progressive newspaper men. He gives the colored people splendid representation in the daily papers, telling of their struggles, ambitions and achievements. He pleads for legal justice and equal opportunities for members of the race at all times. Philadelphia's Population Is Growing. The migration of the colored people from the south in large numbers seems to be on the increase, according to a statement recently made by an official of the Armstrong association at Philadelphia. At a conference held by the housing committee on Negro migration in Philadelphia it was stated that about the entire colored population of Glenwood, S. C., had settled in the southern section of Philadelphia. A large committee was appointed to look out for the welfare of the newcomers until employment and permanent homes could be provided for them. The Military Training Camp Movement Much interest is being manifested among our young men in Greater New York and vicinity in the proposed military training camp to be conducted the coming summer. Plans for opening and operating the camp are being mapped out by Dr. Joel E. Spingarn of 9 West Seventy-third street, New York. Dr. Spingarn is chairman of the board of directors of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People.

It May Mean You or Yours. Who knows that when your son daughter, brother or sister, when they hear compositions and songs from Negro authors and composers that they will not be deeply impressed so as to either begin to write or sing? For that reason The Star is urging the attendance of that Folk Entertainment at the Presbyterian church next week. Think of such contributions as "Sons of Freedom," dedicated to Dr. Du Bois by J. A. Mundy; "Go Long Mule, Go Long," by Will Dixon, and the rousing spiritual "Every Time I Feel the Spirit I Pray," by Carl Diton; "Deep River," also by Carl Diton, and our Negro religious anthem, "Listen to the Lambs," by R. N. Dett, together with the patriotic racial "Ethiopia Shall Stretch Forth Her Hands to God," by J. Mundy, who specially composed it for the Illinois celebration. The solo work will impart such sentimental and soulful songs as "Just You," N. T. Burleigh; "Since You Went Away," J. R. Johnson; "Who Knows," by the late Paul L. Dunbar; "I Hear You Calling Me," by Harold Harford; "Mama's Black Child," by Dunbar, while in literary W. S. Dancer and Oration "Toussant "Farewell, We're Good and Gone," by L' Overture," by Wendell Phillips, and a violin solo from Coleridge-Taylor will complete an evening spent in the presence and hearing our master minds as we sit and drink from fountain of song, music and prose. Don't miss this, take the children and tell them who is who. Who knows what soul it may stir? Who knows? In Colorado the Caucasians have reduced the Negro down to the menial occupations of butler, porter, maids and the like because Negroes, along with others in his class, occasionally receive a tip, gratuity or reward. Representative Harris (Republican) introduced and had the bill up for third reading to make it a crime for certain persons who feel disposed to give or accept any tip, gratuity or reward. See the scheme, reduce you to a certain condition, not by laws but by practice and then strike at that condition by law. Two-thirds of the Negroes in Colorado are most directly affected. If Representative Harris wanted to help the situation any why did he not include in his bill somehow wherein the loss sustained by those poor, struggling human beings trying as hard to take care of their families as he is trying to take care of his, would be taken care of, by fixing a certain maximum or minimum wage? His bill creates a loss and makes criminals out of honest men whose desire is to live and be honest. Why? Because some corporations or individuals are making the public do what they ought to do. But the poor man suffers and has to pay the freight, waiting and starving for two years until some relief comes, if at that time Negroes, Senator Eaton, Republican, raises race issue in senate, while Representative Harris strikes indirectly at you in the house, both Republicans. Let us be race men before we are anything else. Let us be for our friends, no matter who they are, where they come from nor what may be their labels; if they are for us and with us to the extent of really and substantially helping, let us be men and women enough in this passing crisis to stick to our friends. On the contrary, if any politician or every politician or person who is against us and our race, let us do the manly thing and nail him to the cross so that he will ever remember it, no matter if he is of your favorite party. That is self-protection and self-preservation. Put a pin in that. Let the cringing Negro politicians and sycophants apologize Cut this out and save 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 Peary 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. 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.

The Fort Valley high school, Fort Valley, Ga., recently entertained a large gathering of farmers for two days. The meeting was for the purpose of obtaining information as to the best method of killing out the boll weevil and other insects which hinder the growth of cotton and other farm products. Among the many exhibits shown were hundreds of hams of the finest quality. Besides the members of the farmers' conference who took an active part in the discussions, addresses were delivered by Hon. Lee Orsham, state entomologist; Professor George Goddard and State Demonstration Agent Mrs. Bessie Stanley. The conference was one of the most helpful in point of information held at the school for many years. Georgia farmers are among the most thrifty tillers of the soil in the south. Through the efforts of the conference they have been taught the value of selecting seed, fertilization and soil and the proper time to plant. Many of the men at the meeting who a few years ago were only cultivating a few acres in cotton, tobacco, wheat and oats have increased the acreage for these products more than 50 per cent. --- QUESTION OF PRINCIPLE. Our Countrymen's Patriotism Must Not Be Judged by Sectional Sentiment. In an article by R. K. McWoodson which appeared recently in the New York Sun on the attitude of the northern and southern white people toward the colored people as individuals and as a race and whether the colored man should fight for his country in case of war the writer says: It is true that the black man is no more the pet of the north. There was a time that he was, but it seems now that he is the "pest" of the south and the puzzle of the north. The southerners may not be too near sighted to see the black man's future nor the northners too farsighted to see his present condition. But it does seem that neither north nor south has very much sight when it comes to seeing the black man in the right light. One is prejudice blind, and the other is color blind. The white people of the south see too much of him, and the white people of the north see too little of him, and as a rule, the white people of the north judge the black race by the few they see in the northern cities. They must go south to see the black man. We mean the majority of the progressive black men and women. There are many leaders in the north who are a strong type of the worth and value of the black man's genius. The white people of the south are said to love the individual black man and hate the black race and the northeners to hate the individual and love the race. And here we find the black man again between two extremes. The southerners see too much of him and the northerners see too little of him. The first blood shed for America's in dependence was by Crispus Attucks, a black man. in Boston. A question comes in my mind now: Should a black man shoulder a gun and go to war and fight for this country, a country which denies him the rights of citizenship under a flag which offers him no protection, strips him of his manhood by enacting laws which keep him from the ballot box, disfranchised, segregated, discriminated against, lynched, burned at the stake, Jim crowed and disarmed? If he fights, and fight he must, for what does he fight? Mr. McWoodson's argument is quite logical, but the attitude of white people north or south, whether favorable or unfavorable toward the colored race, cannot blot out its loyalty to Old Glory. The Negro will continue to fight for his country and also fight for the rights and protection which the constitution and the flag guarantee to all Americans without regard to race, color or previous servitude. Sharon Baptist Church Celebration. The Sharon Baptist church, Baltimore, celebrated its thirty-second year as a religious corporation in February. The church was founded by the Rev. Dr. William M. Alexander, who is its present pastor. Dr. Alexander is widely known as a Baptist minister and an able advocate of home and foreign missions. SLATER INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL William A. Blair's Efforts to Increase Our Advantages For Education. Few men of either race are doing more to increase the educational advantages of the colored people of the south than William A. Blair, treasurer of the Slater Industrial school at Winston-Salem, N. C. Mr. Blair is an influential business man, being the vice president of the People's National bank at Winston-Salem. Since September, 1916, Mr. Blair has been making a campaign for funds with which to give the institution a larger equipment. The state legislature, recognizing the usefulness and importance of the school to our people, has promised to give $12,000 toward the new equipment on condition that the trustees raise a like amount. The appeal sent out by the trustees says: "If each reader of this article will slip $1 into an envelope and mail it to the treasurer, William A. Blair, Winston-Salem, N. C., the money will be raised and the school buildings erected. This small amount will not hurt any one and will very greatly aid a most worthy national cause." SLOAN'S LINIMENT FOR RHEUM- ATISM.

STORIES OF SUGGESS HEARD Principal William H. Holtzclaw In Vigorous Address to Representative Gathering Says South Is Best Place For the Colored People—Health and Home Owning Discussed. By HORACE D. SLATTER. Utica, Miss.—The usual experience meeting of former conferences became this year, 1917, a veritable school, where men and women vied with each other in asking questions that would make their burdens lighter, that would make their community better and that would put them all in position to render better service one to another and to understand their peculiar problems day by day. This in a nutshell describes the thirteenth annual session of the Utica institute farmers' conference recently held in this town. The conference lasted two days and was presided over by William H. Holtzclaw, principal of the school. The meeting was attended by several hundred farmers from the surrounding neighborhoods. Many educators, ministers and other professional and business men were also in attendance. Principal Holtzclaw in his advice to the farmers in the south with reference to migration to northern centers was pointed and vigorous, but he maintained that the south was the better place for the Negro. However, he recognized the right of any individual to change his residence if he thinks best to do so. The declarations adopted by the conference were just as frank as the address of Principal Holtzclaw. They recounted the progress made by the Negro, congratulated him thereon, but did not fall in the meantime to point out the need for the development of the country round about them, the prevention of so much disease, the suppression of crime and the building of home life. Problems of health, community life and farm improvement were considered in a vigorous manner by the conference. County Superintendent F. M. Coleman laid major stress upon the importance of agriculture in the life of the people, urged larger co-operation on the part of the Negro ministers in the large amount of uplift work the Negro teachers were doing in the county and told just what the county department of education was doing to help the colored people in Hinds county. The wonderful fertility of the soil and the varied nature of the yield that would be possible under intelligent farming were demonstrated by Professor George W. Carver of Tuskegee institute in a manner that easily made him the feature of the conference. Unassuming, quite like a farmer in appearance, he hardly impresses one as a member of learned societies that have for their object the promotion of science. He was the most pronounced advocate of diversification and incidentally struck the national hogira a hard blow when he showed what the Negro farmer could do with the Mississippi soil the year round. Reducing the high cost of living would be an easy matter if the farmers would raise a goodly amount of their own stuff, according to Professor Carver, who showed how from the velvet bean bread, coffee, candies and foodstuff could be made. Concrete examples of the influence the institute had exercised over the people of the community were afforded by a number of talks from farmers present. typical among which was that of R. D. Morrison, who since the beginning of these conferences had purchased a farm of 190 acres, had taken the lead in his community near Edwards and had succeeded in raising among the colored people more than $1,000 with which they had elected a modern three room school building. To this Julius Rosenwald added $300. and lately a blacksmith shop has been erected. Cooking, carpentry and blacksmithing were taught in addition to the common school branches. Henry Kennard stated that he had always worked as a renter or share cropper and wanted to purchase a home. He sought light from some one in the conference who had succeeded. John Tyner, who had been buying a home for ten years, told how it could be accomplished and made the point that it was better to be ten years buying a home than to rent twenty, as many had done. Sam Field recounted an incident that illustrates the value and influence of the personal relations between some white and colored men in the south when he showed how by the exercise of diplomacy he succeeded in getting the use of a first class mule from his white landlord. United States Demonstration Agents J. H. Tanner gave some common sense advice and urged the farmers to stick to the pig as a valuable help to get out of debt or to accumulate money. He told the farmers that they were welcome to take advantage of the cooperative shipping of hogs and stated that in the last shipment of a car and a half from Utica a number of Negro farmers had participated.

ADMITTED TO THE FEDERATED CHARITIES. The Girls' Friendly Home and Day Nursery has been admitted into the Federated Charities that by such action will assist in maintaining the institution so greatly needed in Denver. More money must be raised, regular monthly, so that 100 citizens of color in Denver are being asked to contribute 25 cents a week or a dollar a month to help carry on the Home and Nursery. The Star appeals to the ministers, fraternal societies and all kinds of organizations to give at least one dollar a month to ald this worthy cause. A little colored baby was lost down town Wednesday and Mr. Will Russ took her to the Day Nursery where she was fed and kept warm until her parents could come and get her. The case was so timely and pathetic that The Star knew the public ought to know the good use that the home was doing silently. Give them a dollar, and The Star will publish the names free. Twenty-five cents admits you to the program of all Negro compositions at People's Presbyterian Church, Thursday night, March 22. INACTIVITY CAUSES CONSTIPA TION.

Montgomery, Ala.—Among the thousands of young men in the south who are making good and who are forging to the front is George W. Chandler, founder of the United Order of Good Shepherds, one of the largest and most influential organizations in the south for the good of the race. It is to Talladega, Ala., that the credit for this young man is due, because it was there he was born, and it was there he received his foundation for an education in the public school and then Talladega college. His father was one of the original pioneers in the vicinity of Talladega and was one of the first of A. B. GEORGE W. CHANDLER. his race to own land in that section of the country. He made good use of his opportunities in every way possible. The son imbibed the spirit of his father and began life with a determination to do something to aid his people in their struggle for advancement. To live in the hearts of his people has been an effort which has claimed every minute of his time, and he has ever been ready to serve. He has made good in everything to which he has put his hands. It is not, therefore, surprising that the United Order of Good Shepherds should take such a prominent place in the affairs of the race. Mr. Chandler has given the making of the order his personal attention, and it now operates in six states and continues to grow. The local organizations are called lodges and fountains. This is one of the organizations which are helping the race to climb to higher things in life. Eighteen miles south of Selma, Ala., the order owns 3,100 acres of land, and 500 acres of this land have been designated for the widows and orphans of the order, while the other is for increasing the revenue of the order in order to sustain these widows and orphans. Fifty families have taken advantage of the opportunities given them by the order and are owning good homes. On the land owned by the order eighty-seven buildings have been erected, including one three story brick building, valued at $10,000, a sawmill, a gristmill and a shingle mill. This is a new departure in fraternal organization among the people, and at once it appeals to them. Mr. Chandler has reached his people, and they think much of him. He has ever been ready to encourage any enterprise among the people, assisting the young men and women struggling for an education, because he had to start at the ground and work up. His father put him on his own merits, believing that if a boy would make a man he must win his place and not be fed with a silver spoon. He believed in going right down and getting it from the shoulder or directly from the brain. Mr. Chandler owns a beautiful home, two stories and well furnished, on one of the best streets in Montgomery, and there resides with his estimable wife and daughter. They are happy, and he is spending a life for and with his people. The success of this young man should be an inspiration to others. This is a progressive age of doing things, and the man who sits down and talks about what he is going to be after awhile if he lives and nothing happens will never make much headway in America or any other country. In the office of the head of the United Order of Good Shepherds are to be found several of the trained young people of the race. Mrs. Shille Duncan is chief clerk and secretary, and in addition are to be found the bookkeepers, the stenographers and other help. Mr. Chandler has made places for some of the young people of his race and will provide for others from time to time. HOWARD ALUMNI PROGRAM HAS MANY UNIQUE FEATURES General Association at Washington Ready For Semicentennial Functions. Washington. Following the "get together" of the Howard university alumni, which was one of the most successful and enthusiastic preludes to the semicentennial which will be celebrated March 1 to 4, inclusive, the alumni have designed a button about the size of a quarter of a dollar commemorative of the coming celebration. The button has a background of the official blue of the university, with lettering in white, completing the colors blue and white. In the center the letters "H. U." are monogrammed, while on either side appear the dates "1867-1917." At the top of the semicircle is the word "Semicentennial" and at the bottom "Howard University." The outer edge of the design is white, giving the whole a finished setting. Robert A. Pelham, financial secretary of the General Alumni association, was present at the midday chapel services of the university recently and presented to each undergraduate a button for the tickets distributed on the night of the "get together" meeting. The General Alumni will send out to the different local branches of the association samples of the buttons and have them order in numbers to supply the membership of their several organizations, so that by the time of the celebration in March every alumnus in each locality and here may recognize the others in the effort and plans for alumni day. The program feature of March 3, which is alumni day in the celebration, is being shaped and will be announced in a few days. The parade from the university to Convention hall March 1 will include the officers, trustees, members of the faculties and alumni. The Andrew Rankin Memorial chapel will be the mobilizing point for the alumni, and every alumnus is expected to be on hand at 6:30 p. m. so as to be formed under the marshal for the occasion into groups or assignment in the line. Reports from outside associations and individual alumni indicate a hearty response to the call, and the gymnasium appeal has awakened new interest and is the slogan on which the alumni stand united. THE BIG BROTHER MOVEMENT Efforts of a New York Organization to Protect Children. At the meeting of the Big Brother movement under the auspices of the National Urban league, New York, on Feb. 22 plans were perfected for the Big Brother Sunday designated for March 25, at which time the pastors of the various churches have been requested to preach a sermon at their morning services showing the responsibilities of parenthood, using preferably for their text Matthew xvv. 31, as well as the rest of the chapter. An active Big Brother will be as signed to each church to tell of the efforts of the Big Brothers to reduce the number of arraignments in the children's court this year. It is hoped that a monster public mass meeting will be held in one of the large halls in the Harlem district the afternoon of March 25. The following statistics, giving a comparison of the total number of arraignments in the children's court for the years 1915 and 1916 and a comparison as to the total number of arraignments of colored children for the years 1914, 1915 and 1916, will be of special interest to persons interested in child welfare, especially in trying to save a child from appearance in the children's court as a defendant: During 1916 the total number of arraignments in the children's courts was 12,425 children as against 14,135 during 1915. Of this number 5,970 were arraigned for delinquency as compared with 7,927 the year before. In the special proceedings, which consisted largely of improper guardianship and neglect cases, 6,455 cases were tried before the court for protection. In 1915 there were 6,208.

He says: "It is easy to create, it is hard to destroy. Sinister of wit, it is weak of wisdom. Its preceptions are false. It sees in darkness; it is blind in the light. It nurtures lies and rejects truths. Breeding hatred, it blasts sympathy. It rules those who give it life. It is conjured Frankenstein, dominating millions of men. It sits besides the gates of life and takes toll of all that pass. It is the conservator of all that reason would destroy, the destroyer of the works of Justice. It is the hand maiden of error, the nemesis of knowledge. It feeds fear and poisons hope. It lives by the law of the dead. It thrives upon the meat of yesterday. It sickened on the sustenance of today. It is anarchist of the heart. It smothers faith. It gives love to the torch. It hemeans benevolence and shuns communion. It stills the sound of music and palsies the hand of art. It betrays belief and sets suspicion on the throne. It rejoices in tears. Its mirth is in misery. It's the monster of the mind. It pollutes thought, serves despair and ravishes right. It offends against fact and is a stranger to logic. Its soothing is in sophistry. It divines the unreal and walks in the way of phantoms. It drains the potions brewed by witches of the brain. It is a thing of charms and amulets. It is prejudice. LOGIC. The logical end of hatred is murder. Race prejudice is traditional hatred of human beings. It ends in lynching, war and extermination. (Compare European war today.) Race prejudice has often been professed by men of highest ideal and motive who shrink at violence of any kind. But this is because such men are deliberately illogical, and their followers in the long run are not illogical but carry their Leader's doctrine to the bitter end. For instance, it is said this group of people are inferior to my group. Therefore, they are not entitled to the same privileges. But suppose they demand rights by and their deserts; then refuse them; if they keep demanding, silence them by law; if legal means do not keep them in their place, mob law is justifiable. Thus the doctrine of race inferiority runs down to murder. Let us trace it in this country since the war. Negroes being inferior ought not to vote, said reconstruction protesters. The nation, therefore, consented to their disfranchisement with the distinct understanding that all their other rights and privileges were to be preserved. But if a man is not to vote why educate him and make him discontented? Consequently, there was a movement against education which was so successful that today there are two million Negroes not even enrolled and practically half the Negro children in the land are not being decently trained in elementary training. True, but we will give them industrial training, make them skilled workmen, so that they can save their money and buy property. No, answers the white workman, they will compete with me and lower my wages. No, cries the white owner, I don't want Negroes in my block. Very well, says the compromiser, segregate Negro in a ghetto and make law against intermarriage, tho in exceptional cases racial parties intermarry. But, answers the Negro, the ghetto is in the worst part of the city, is unhealthy, ill cared for, filled with prostitutes whom you segregate with us, and we cannot better our condition because we cannot vote nor can we protect the virtue of our women and girls and whatever innocent offspring product of this intercourse bechase the law gives all other women and girls, save ours, this protection. Being thus confronted with a law of prejudice continued by Republican Senator Eaton, which way are we going, back towards slavery or emerging from slavery? Honorable Senators, is there any logical resting place on this downward path between a theory of inferiority and a theory of mob violence and extinction? UNEASY WATCHFUL SIGNS OF TIMES. Some people have a method of mind that is able to persuade itself that the unseen is non-existent. Now, the world is without doubt full of things, incidents, thoughts, men that are best disregarded, that are best unheard, unseen, ignored. But make no mistake, friend of the unseeing eye, for there is evil in the world which may not be ignored and that cannot be escaped by sticking our heads in the ground and closing our eyes. Face the race problem like men, frankly and carefully, but none the less determinedly. Let your children face it. Don't seek to sneak away from the evil, and forget the poor, suffering brother or sister who cannot and does not escape, who must work, writhe and fight. Remember, that bad as the truth is, it is a little better than the apprehension, and as critical and devilish as some race situations present themselves, resolute courage, intelligent head and a loyal and just heart will aid in giving relief. The world has cured worse ills than it faces today, and the Negro race has triumphantly survived worse oppression than that which it suffers here and now. Why then hide our discouraged heads and seek to escape that which true manhood must know, if it will fight intelligently? If all things are bad, let us find out how bad they are and try to make them better. Social reform is not based upon knowledge, facts and truths is futile. Knowledge without attempted betterment is criminal. So we go into this intermarriage law and discuss it from our angle, trusting that the legislature will repeal this law of race and color prejudice which Senator Eaton is trying to continue and fasten more securely as the policy of Colorado. Royce, metaphysician of Harvard University, on "Race Questions and Prejudices," published in the International Journal of Ethics for April, 1906, and later republished in "Race Questions, Provincialism and Other American Problems," takes a lesson from Jamicaal, where there are 15,000 whites and 600,000 or more blacks, and compares it with the South and its miscegenation laws, etc., etc., by saying: "In any case, the Southern race problem will never be relieved by speech or by practices, such as increase irritation. It will be relieved when administration grows sufficiently effective and when the Negroes themselves get an increasing responsible part in this administration, in so far as it relates to their own race. That may seem a wild scheme, but I insist, it is the English way. Look at Jamicaal and learn how to protect your own homes." The English way never suppresses energy, efficiency and recognized talent, but encourages and acknowledges thru opportunity to develop it. Hon. Archibald H. Grinke, president of Academy of Science, writing on "The Sex Question and Race Segregation," shows that if two races live together as superior and inferior, there will constantly grow up two moral standards. Then Mr. Grinke goes on to show the grave dangers attendant upon race segregation. Where two races are not equal before the law, where consequently the women of that class has well defined legal and moral rights, which the men of that class are bound to respect, while the rights of the women of the inferior class may be violated with impunity by the men of the dominant class. Taking up the psychological reactions of this racial in equality, he shows that it generates a sullen regentiment in the hearts of the black men when they feel that their women have no protection in law and public sentiment against the lusts of men of the dominant race. Then he shows it engenders hatred in the breast of the white women of the South for colored women, who have no legal status whereby they can protect themselves in the South against the men of the dominant class. Mr. Grinke sums up the tragic fate of the colored woman of the South by saying: "For she lives in a world where the white man may work his will on her without let or hindrance, outside the law, outside the social code and moral restraints which protect the white women." Mr. Grinke says that the remedy is not segregation of the races in a state of unequality before the law, for that is the disease, but in inter-racial comity and equality, where the double moral standard will be abolished and "where the black woman of the South must be as sacredly guarded as a woman by Southern law and public opinion against the sexual passions and pursuit of the Southern white man as it is the Southern white woman. Such equality of condition, of protection in the South is indispensable to any lasting improvement in the morals of its people, white or black." CONGRESSMAN MADDEN'S SPEECH ON INTERMARRIAGE BILL IN DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA. Hon. M. R. Madden congressman of Illinois, June 15. Hon. M. B. Madden, congressman of Illinois, Mr. Speaker:—I am opposed to intermarriage of the races. The Negroes themselves are opposed to such marriages. But I am opposed to legislating and making such marriages a crime. If a white man and a black woman want to marry it should be a matter for them to decide. I think they would be foolish to thus ostracise themselves from associating with their own people, and that is what they marry. But if they want to ostracise themselves, that is a personal matter between them and should be. To make such marriages criminal and void would leave the children of such marriages without the protection which they need and should have. Instead of bettering the moral conditions such a law would make them worse. It would leave many young girls at the mercy of brutes willing to take advantage of their virtue and then desert them to a life of shame. I cannot conceive of a condition under which a white man should be allowed to cohabit with a black woman, not his wife, without being compelled by law to marry her or provide for the care of their children. Why should innocent women of the Negro race not have the same protection of the law which is accorded to women of any other race? It will not do to say that there is no such condition as that to which I have alluded. Everyone knows better else how does it happen that we have so many people of mixed blood of the United States? "The Negroes are willing to continue their marriages to their own race, indeed they would prefer that, but they have a right to demand that the women of their race should not be considered the legitimate prey of the men of other races. (Applause). If marriage between the Negro and Caucasian is so abhorrent as to some it seems to be, why do so many of the Caucasian men insist on taking undue liberties with the defenseless Negro women? Why do they insist on mixing the blood of the races? If the blood of both races can be kept by law, all right; but who can assure it? By all means, if we are to have a law against mixed marriage that law should provide for arrest and prosecution for bastardy so that it will be possible to expose those who boast of the purity of their blood, while they clandestinely and illegally continue to cohabit with those against whom this law is directed. Let the law of marriage stand as it is, and trust to the pride of race both among Negroes and Caucasians to contract their marriages with their own people. The purpose of this law is to further debase the Negro, to make the iron of tyranny so long practiced on his race. (Sen. Eaton please read twice.) We should do all we can to combat the spirit of persecution and prejudice which confronts the Negroes of this country and to assure them every right, privilege and opportunity to which every citizen in the United States is entitled. The Negroes ask no favors, no privileges, no special advantages. We should bestir ourselves to aid the Negroes, not embarrass them or shame them. We should make them feel that they are a useful and desirable part of our people. We should not continue to put the stamp of our disapproval upon him and cast him adrift and discourage him in the effort to reach that moral standard for which we all hope and continue to pray. The enactment of this law will be one step backward, which should never be taken by a congress representing the people of America." (Applause). TESTING PREJUDICE—REDUCING TO AN ABSURDITY. COLOR FAL LACY. For example, among white people there is no prejudice against other white people who happen to be of a very dark complexion with black hair and black eyes and with a brown skin. On the contrary, members of this type are often considered fine looking and greatly admired. Besides, what is there in a white skin, per se, that establishes its pre-eminence? We actually have a kind of feeling against it when it is very white. Certain kinds of whiteness we associate with weakness and disease. We hear mothers lamenting because their children are so pale and we hear expressions of concern over pallor in grown-ups. Is it not possible that the time will come when whiteness of skin, per se, will be considered a mark of inferiority. Senate Bill 426, introduced by Senator Eaton: Section 1. That Section 4163 of the Revised Statutes of Colorado, 1908, be and the same is hereby amended to read as follows: Section 4163. All marriages between parents and children, including grandparents and grandchildren, of every degree, between brothers and sisters of the one-half, as well as of the whole blood, and between uncles and nieces, aunts and nephews, (and cousins in the first degree), are hereby declared to be incestuous and absolutely void; and all marriages between Negroes or mulattoes, of either sex, and white persons, are also declared to be absolutely void. This section shall extend to illegitimate, as well as legitimate children. Add this proviso or exception and you have the present law, save first cousins: Provided, That nothing in this section shall be so construed as to prevent the people living in that portion of the state acquired from Mexico from marrying according to the custom of that country. This proviso is what Senaeor Eaton purposely left out, the part which cut out a certain part of Colorado where these marriages could occur, making the law apply to one part of Colorado and not to another part. We are told that Senator Eaton denies that he has prejudice and that he only took the law and added "first cousins" and let the other part of the law remain as it was formerly. Here is our contention: That any miscegenation law is bad and destructive to the morals and decency of the female sex regardless by whom or when it was introduced and made law. And the fact that a Republican senator took up a law of prejudice against our people, attempted to continue existence only in a stronger form, does not, in our opinion, excuse nor justify the defense that it existed on the statute books 34 years a law of prejudice. Can time change a bad law of prejudice into a good law? Does not Senator Eaton know that today in Denver that we have the American Woodmen In surance Co., which has written over thirty million dollars insurance on Negroes alone and whose monthly income averages twelve thousand dollars? Does he know that Colorado Negroes have reclaimed from the United States government over 60,000 acres, making the same taxable property in and near the Negro settlement at Deerfield? Does he not know that while the Negro is building up Colorado and her lands, others who have better treatment are sending their money across the seas? If this law was never based upon facts and science then the man who continues the law by attempting to strengthen and perpetuate the prejudice is as bad as the original offender. The famous Squib case is my authority. We urge every reader not to accept the Star's statement of fact but to investigate science, conditions then and now, and then form your own opinion of the law as it is on the law books and Senator Eaton's two bills, see if you can discover sinister motives. It is puerile to explain or attempt to justify a wrong committed by some one else, encouraged and supported by him by making "absolutely void" all marriages, without any data, facts or helpful research to support such an action, except that "somebody else had crystallized and inserted that race and color injustice" upon the statute book in form of a law and he took it as he found it in order to perpetuate the previous insult. It was unfortunate that the Senator injected race and color into this assembly, but since he did it and attacked the womanhood and possible innocent offspring which would be affected by such an enactment, we are manly and frank enough to meet the issue and show what we deem an injustice and pure color and race hatred. Is it the motive of Senator Eaton to make the public policy of this state affecting all other races except the Negro and Negroid and whites to be that where illicit relationships had heretofore existed to close the gateway to repentance and virtue, as affected the Negro woman and her illegitimate offspring and forever doom to eternal bastardy, leaving the offspring no chance to inherit, except thru the mother, and not in the case, where other races can have these wrongs righted by marriage? The woman, a Negro, is condemned to the streets as an outcast and her innocent child forever debarred by legal prejudice. It seems that illicit cohabitation between the races is to be winked at, and hardly noticed; but should there be an attempt to marry, a crime is committed. The laws of the South are full of miscegenation restricions, yet white men are still illegally bleaching Negroes half white. Is this the condition Senator Eaton aimed at when he cut off the proviso in the present law? If race and color is a test of marriage, why not make race and color a test of citizenship, property ownership, civil rights enjoyment, etc.? Why? Segregation is one of the oldest weapons in the arsenal of tyranny. It is a backward step toward slavery. Segregation says to its victims: "Thou shalt not go where I object." Slavery says: "Thou shalt go where I will." In fact, segregation is negative slavery. NEGRO'S AMBITION ONLY TO KNOW. ATHIRST FOR KNOWLEDGE. "He must have a voice in the new industrial democracy which is building in Colorado and the power to see to it that his children are not in the next generation trained to be the mudsills of society. He must have the right to social intercourse with his fellows. There was a time in the atomic individualistic group when "social intercourse" meant merely calls and tea parties; today social intercourse means theaters, lectures, organization, clubs, churches, excursions, travel, hotels—it means, in short, to know, to be and to live. To bar a group from method of thinking, living and doing is to bar them from the world and bid them to create a new world—it is to crucify them and taunt them with not being able to live." CAN COLORADO OR AMERICA AFFORD IT? Man's ability and desire to make his brother mourn makes every scene a pain and every act a tragedy. Man against man, woman against woman, class against class, race against race; each succeeding in the mad desire to create misery for the other. Belgium rapes Congo and is in turn herself outraged. The agony of the Congo is answered by the Germanic wall of the Rhine. The sons of those who enslaved the unhappy blacks are themselves led away in chains. Nature is obdurate as man is unjust. She unalterably decreed that man shall never HAVE justice until he is willing to BE just. She will bless men if they obey her and curse them if they disobey her. She is nobody's ally. It is written with blood in the annals of the human race; man will never be blessed except in his brother's welfare. He that will save his life by oppressing others, shall lose it; and he that loses his life for justice and altruism shall find it. The most bitter hatred and the most devilish retribution are meted out to the black man whose brutal lust leads him to attack or where there is a suspicion of an attack upon white women. But the brutal lust of the white man invades the Nervous home, ruins girls by the thousands and there is hardly a protest from the race that steems itself superior. White supremacy, "racial intensity and purity" can be defined as practiced today as the absolute independence of the white man to law and order. Racial purity is the stalking horse masking behind high-handed injustice to Negroes under the name of segregation, making the hyena-like race prejudice crop into everything. It is just this thing of bleaching out the Negroes of the South by white men that thousands of Negroes are migrating northward. We have faith in the white man; we have faith in the Negro; we have faith in the future democracy and of America. Does he not know that the ambitious, enterprising and progressive Negro, determined to make a mark for himself and race, ajudst all kinds of handicaps, high cost of living and keen economic competition, prejudice, restraints and intended and unintended lashes in public and private on all sides, has not yet had time enough to consider marriage with any others save his own? He is too busy planting corn, beans and peas in Dearfield and other places, too much occupied courteously serving at the soda fountain, in the elevators, at trains and hotels, using his talents, energy and efficiency trying, as best he can, to do things industrially, agriculturally, commercially and politically. Let Colorado be one state which will say to all its citizens that a white face is no qualification to full citizenship, manhood, character and ability. Can we only maintain culture in one race by increasing barbarism in others? Does it enhance the "superiority" of white men to allow them to steal from yellow men and enslave black men and reduce colored women to concubinage and prostitution? After all what's a race, and how many races are there? Von Luschan, one of the greatest modern anthropologists, says: "The question of the number of human races has quite lost its raison d'etre, and has become a subject rather of philosophic speculation than of scientific research." What we have on earth are men. Shall we help or hinder them, hate or kill them or love preserve and unlift them? Did Senator Eaton and his friends who think like him know that a "colored" person may ascend the throne of England since Countess Zia Torby is engaged to Prince Alexander Battersburg? The countess is a direct descendant of Hannibal, the coal black body servant of Peter the Great of Russia. Hannibal was a giant in statute and was brought as a slave from Sudan. He became eventually a general in the Russian army and was ennobled. His grandson was Alexander Pushkin, the father of Russian literature. The Countess Zia Torby is the granddaughter of Pushkin's youngest daughter who recently died and was known as Countess Natalie Merenberg. If race, color and supposed inferiority of a group are not behind this adopted bill or old ideas revived and continued by you, pray tell us what were the original moving causes, fact, data or information, since science condemns such a law? If you did not favor such a bill with its contents, why did not you leave out "Negroes and mulattoes" as you so nicely left out "the present proviso" in the law? We know men's minds by what they say and do. To tell us that any man without prejudice will take a dead law of crystallized and perpetuated prejudice and caste, revive it and attempt to continue its operation and propaganda by more securely fastening upon the community life such a preconceived policy, without any facts, data or even science to back him, merely suggests that such a person is not the proper person for such a high office. Our position is not based upon optimism; it is based upon the study of the forces at work and observation of the constant progress which the race is making. Progress forward and opposition gathers and stiffens; slip backward and it grows less. Was it not in the presence of the august author of the bill that Prof. Faxran, late of Columbia University, but now of University of Colorado, said that biology, anthropology and ethnology had not shown the "superiority and inferiority" of races? We know that every foot of progress made by the Negro has been fought over. See how the scene of battle shifted two hundred years ago, the fight was as to whether or not he was a human being with all the attributes of a human heart and soul. A hundred years ago it was as to whether or not he had sufficient gray matter in his brains to master the rudiments of learning. Fifty years ago (just fourteen years before this law of prejudice sponsored by Senator Eaton was put upon Colorado's statutes) it was over his right to be a freeman and citizen and today it is over his admission to full membership in the social and political community life. FIGHTING FOR MANHOOD AND WOMANHOOD RESPECT. There are two ends before the American Negro and at one of them he must finally arrive. One is the status of full citizenship, of equality, and the other is a condition of serfdom. He must have all or none, there is no middle ground for trimmers and timeservers. If the Negro in this state and country continues to work and fight, he will finally reach the goal of full citizenship, of equality, such as others have. When he stops working and fighting he will gradually sink sooner or later into serfdom or voluntary submission and inferiority. It is a question of full citizenship or civil death thru an attack on our women and unborn children to be classed as mulattoes. All discriminations are bad and particularly so when based upon race and color? Repeal the law. New York, March 2, 1917. Senator Eaton State Ecnate, Denver, Colo. Dear Sir: The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People earnestly protests against the bill (Senate Bill No. 426) introduced by you, forbidding intermarriages between the races, not because the association advocates intermarriage, which it does not, but, primarily, because whenever such laws have been enacted they became a menace to the whole institution of matrimony, leading directly to concubinage, bastardy and the degredation of the Negro woman. No man-made law can stop the union of the races. If intermarriage is wrong, its prevention is best left to public opinion and to nature which wreaks its own awful punishments on those who transgress its laws and sin against it. We oppose the proposed statute in the language of William Lloyd Garrison in 1843, in his successful campaign for the repeal of a similar law in Massachusetts: "Because it is not the province, and does not belong to the power of any legislative assembly, in a republican government, to decide on the complexional affinity of those who may choose to be united together in wedlock; and it may as rationally decree that corpulent and lean, tall and short, strong and weak persons shall not be married to each other, as that there must be an agreement in the complexion of the parties." We oppose it for the physical reason that to prohibit such intermarriage would be publicly to acknowledge that black blood is a physical taint, something no self-respecting colored man and woman can be asked to admit. We oppose it for the moral reason that all such laws leave the colored girl absolutely helpless before the lust of the white man, without the power to compel the seducer to marry. The statistics of intermarriage in those states where it is permitted show this happens so infrequently as to make the whole matter of legislation unnecessary. Both races are practically in complete agreement on this question, for colored people marry colored people, and white marry white, the exceptions being few. Very truly yours, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF COLORED PEOPLE (Signed): J. E. Spingarn, Chairman of the Board; Oswald Garrison Villard, vice-president and treasurer; W. E. Du Bois, Director of Publications and Research; Roy Nash, Secretary. Every assemblyman received one of these letters. "If democracy in America is to be a white democracy and the civilization in America is to be a white civilization; if it is proposed to make the Negro a thing without rights, a permanent self-emancipated slave, a headless strong arm worker, then let white civilization beware. We may sunder the races if we can; we may preserve race integrity if we can; we may temporarily limit the Negro suffrage—but this rock bottom truth remains: If we seek to set up lower standards for one race, if we abate the ultimate rights, prerogatives and privileges of either race we shall plant the seeds of our own undoing. Our self-protection, as much as our sense of justice, must impel us toward the Negroes' cause. Whether we love the Negro or hate him we are and shall continue to be tied to him. Let us never forget that the best antidote to democracy is jingoism and race hatred. Stir up race or national hatred and you postpone your social development."—Caleb S.
