Denver Star

It Pays To Advertise. Get Wise and Let The Denver Star Talk For You The papers formerly known as The Statesman and The Independent, have been merged into The Denver Star Calvert Texas, March 8, 1917. To the Editor of the Denver Star:—I have just read with wonderful amazement and pleasure the work of the St. Mark's Brotherhood of Bethel A. M. E. Church under the leadership of Mr. W. E. Smith. The man who finds work for man, completes man's existence. The school and the Church that fails to find work for brain and hand, hires their followers out to Satan. When will the manufacturers of this country learn that it is to their interest to employ Colored labor? The Colored man is a superior laborer for the following reasons to wit: 1st, The Colored laborer is the only laborer who loves and trusts his employer implicitly. 2nd, The Colored laborer is always cheerful and optimistic. 3rd, He is never a striker, a socialist nor anarchist and what money he earns, he does not send to some foreign country but spends his money in the town where he labors. 4th, The Colored laborer is the most observant race in the world and will instructively do what he sees others do. 5th. He is polite, kind-hearted, generous and harbors no grudge nor envy and it is a fact—all Colored people are philanthropists. They feel their gifts and according to his wealth, he gives a thousand times more to Charity than does Mr. Andrew Carnegie or John D. Rockefeller. He willingly suffers when he thinks his self-denial will relieve the suffering of others. 6th. In the days of peril this country can implicitly trust the colored laborers; and if history from the death of Crispus Attucks to the death of the last Colored soldier killed in Mexico does not prove this declaration, history has no meaning and teaches no lesson. Put Colored laborers and mechanics in the factories and foundries in this country and labor unions and strikes and anarchy will forever disappear and a solidarity divine will establish an entente cordial between the colored man's brawn and heart and the white man's purse and confidence. There are many thousands of Colored mechanics, artisans and geniuses in the South and if they could find work in the North, the dividends of stock holders in factories and foundries would be greatly increased. The Denver Star ESTABLISHED 1888 Among many reminiscences of the late General Funston written by a staff correspondent of the New York Times, the following story is told: "An instance of the General's diplomacy and shrewdness in arguing against compliance with the wishes of Texans by seeming to comply is told in all the border towns. A little village more than forty miles from the border, and that not a dangerous part of the border, sent delegation after delegation to the Departmental Headquarters, pleading for 'protection' and telling the most horrifying tales of raids to come. 'Yes, yes, a regiment would be adequate protection, entirely adequate! "Funston learned that the town, unlike most border villages, was inhabited by South erners and promised that it should have a regiment to 'protect' it—immediately! A few days later a Negro regiment detrained at the village and struck its camp on the outskirts. And a few days later after that the same delegation, larger this time, was back in General Funston's office arguing that all danger of raids was past, and that the village no longer needed protection." White Bishop Rebukes His Race Memphis, Tenn.—In a sermon delivered to the Cavalry Church, one of the wealthiest and most fashionable of Memphis Bishop Thomas F. Gailor rebuked the best white people "browed white people." He declared that the Southern white people were as responsible for the uplift of the colored people as the colored people themselves, and their quiescent approval of the mobbing and lynching of the colored people of the Southland was literally a form of murder. His sermon caused quite a stir as Bishop Gailor is the best known Episcopal prelate of the South and his word carries weight among the wealthiest and most influential men of the entire South.' 1. No one could make a greater mistake than to think that the Army wants colored men to join this camp. The Army officials want the camp to fail. They refuse to set a time or place until two hundred men apply because they know that this is the hardest way of recruiting the camp. They have made the offer merely in order that they might be able to say that they gave colored people a fair chance and the colored people refused to take advantage of the opportunity The last thing the Army wants is to help colored men to be come commissioned officers. Indianapolis, Ind.—Dr. Sumner A. Furniss, the well known physician of this city, was nominated in the primary election held last week as the candidate of the Republican party for Councilman from the Fourth City District. There were eight contestants for the nomination and Dr. Furniss obtained a vote approximately as great as the aggregate of his three nearest competitors. 2. This project is intended to FIGHT segregation and not to encourage it. If there were enough men fit to be officers it would not be necessary; we could fight for a wide open army with that material. But there are not enough men. The New York Negro Regiment did not have enough colored men to fill the commissions. When war comes, we do not wish to be in the same position. We want to be able to say: Here are colored men ft to be officers, and you have got to commission them. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, MARCH 24, 1917 A NEGRO'S STINGING REBUKE. could be obtained from the regular colored regiments simply show their ignorance of the Army and of the enormous amount of 'paper work' an officers has to do. A good soldier is a man who has had military training, a good officer is a man who has military training, ability to lead, and a GOOD EDUCATION. Few men who have not had at least a high school education can ever hope to pass the writ ten examination that is neces sary to become an officer. Henry Watterson, Famous Southern Editor of "The Louisville Courier Journal," Lauds Col. Roscoe Conkling Simmons for Racial Stand in Present Crisis Louisville, Ky.—(From The Courier-Journal.)—With all his genius and culture, Roscoe Conklin Simmons is a Negro. His college degrees and personal refinement cannot change his blood or color or make his one bit less a member of a race regarded as socially, economically and mentally in inferior to the white. 4. The point has been made that a few scattered colored men in a white camp would be neglected and passed over, while colored men in a camp by themselves would all get a fair chance. There may possibly be some truth in this, but I am not willing to go as far as that. I regard this camp as a merely temporary expedient, lasting four weeks, that may possibly alter the fate of the colored race throughout a great war. It is an expedient for a great crisis. That Louisville is proud of him as a citizen; that the Negro people of the country look to him for leadership much as they did to his illustrious uncle, Booker T. Washington; that men of prominence in the nation accord him fellowship and a place in high councils, does not change his status. For these very reasons, his words, spoken the other day before a gathering of his own race, should spread a blush of shame on the Caucasian skins of some who are conspicuous in the eyes of the nation just now. When men of superior learning and vaunted super-race connections, intrusted with the solemn duty of serving and protecting their country's destiny, join with foreign tyrant cut-throats to heap contume ly upon the nation's head and tie his hands stretched out to protect the lives and rights of Americans; when snivelling white pacifists join with all the traitor-slaker crew to invite national disgrace and ruin, well may the member of an "inferior race" boast: Colored men must get officers' training as soon as possible, and there is no other way with the whole Army against them. 5. The South does not want colored men to get any kind of military training; nothing frightens it more than the thought of millions of colored men with discipline, organizing power, and a dangerous effectiveness. That is why Vardaman is so bitterly opposed to universal military training. That is why the General Staff of the Army has decided to exclude colored men from the training, and has reduced its original estimate of 900,000 to 500,000. That is why the colored man who refuses to take advantage of this hard won chance for a camp is biting off his own nose to spite his face. "We have a record to defend, but no treason, thank God, to atone or explain. While in chains we fought to free white men from Lexington to Carrizal—and returned again to our chains. No Negro has ever insulted the flag. No Negro ever struck down a President of these United States. No Negro ever sold a military map or secret to a foreign Government. No Negro ever ran under fire or lost an op portunity to serve, to fight, to bleed and to die in the republic's cause. Accuse us of what you will—justly and wrongly—no man can point to a single instance of our disloyalty. "We have but one country and one flag, the flag that set us free. Its language is our only tongue, and no hyphen bridges or qualifies our loyalty. Today the nation faces danger from a foreign foe, treason stalks and skulks up and down our land, in dark councils intrigue is being hatched I am a Republican, but a Wilson Republican. Woodrow Wilson is my leader. What he commands me to do I shall do. Where he commands me to go I shall go. If he calls me to the colors, I shall not ask whether my Colonel is black or white. I shall be there to pick out no color except the white of the enemy's eye. Grievances I have against this people, against this Government. Injustice to me there is, bad laws there are upon the statute books, but in this hour of peril I forget—and you must forget—all thoughts of self or race or creed or politics or color. 6. If there is a war, there will doubtless be conscription of all ablebodied men. All pretty talk about volunteer ing or not volunteering will have to cease; all men will have to go. The choice will no longer be between volunteering, but between CON SRCIPTION and REBEL LION. If conscription comes, will the leaders of the race help their Southern enemies by preaching treason and rebellion? Or will they face facts right not, and prepare themselves to go as leaders and not as private? Seventy two men have already applied That this address was a notable piece of diction and oratory means little, save as a tribute to the talent and erudition of its author and an augury of what may come from others of his race when given his opportunities. As a rebuke to the traitors and Americans not worthy of the name it deserves the widest reading while such white men as La Follette, Stone, O'Gorman, Vardaman, Works, Bryan and all their ilk, instead perhaps, of being tarred and feathered black, should be forced to read these words of a black man. Much interest is being manifested among our young men in Greater New York and vicinity in the proposed military training camp to be conducted 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. 3. Those who think that a large number of officers Why not in Colorado? OAKLAND HISTORY MUSEUM 1901 MUSEUM BUILDING FIVE CENTS' A COPY. COLORED DENTIST INVENTS ATTACHMENT A. E. Johnson, a colored dentist of Helena, Ark., is said to have received on January 30, 1917, letters patent for a typewriter attachment which has attracted the attention of sales companies in the United States and Canada. One company, it is reported, offered the inventor $25,000 for the right to manufacture the attachment in Canada, and $50,000 for the ownership of the device in Canada. He is said also to have received attractive propositions for the control of the device by concerns in the United States. The device is designed it is stated, for any standard type writer, and carries a roll of paper which is fed into the machine automatically. The operator tears off the written sheet when completed and proceeds with his work with but further delay usually caused by taking one sheet sheet out of the typewriter and inserting a fresh sheet. An ingenious device accompanies the attacment whereby a carbon slip may be in serted whenever duplicate copies are desired. Dr. Johnson has been at work on the device for three years, and now that he has been granted letters patent he is said to be seeking the backing necessary to manufacturing the attachment and placing it on the market. The attachment is comparatively light, it is said, and simple in construction and operation. Dr. Johnson thinks that it can be profitably sold for $10. Says Colored Soldiers Fare Well in Europe Thomas E. Taylor, secretary of the local brnch of the Y. M. C. A., is in receipt of a communication from Walter L Hulet, who is a member of the British Army. The letter reads in part as follows: Dear Friend Ed: I am in active service and have been in the ranks nearly a year. I came over here with the 91st Battalion from St. Thomas. I was the only Colored soldier in the Battalion. I have met several Colored boys over here and two Colored sergeants who came over here with white battalions. The Colored soldier is given every opportunity to get up in the ranks and fares as well as his white comrade. This war has thrown all British subjects in mutual companionship, regardless of race or color. We hear that a Colored battalion is coming over here from Canada. After the war there will not be any color line in Canada. Respectfully yours, (Signed) Walter L. Hulett. Private Hulett directs his mail to be sent to Ashford, Kent, England.

Five A trial convinces you DE T MARKET Street] NEW MODEL CLEANERS TAILORS FOR THE TRADR W.Culler and Delter Dr. Spingarn Tells Why Training Camp Is Necessary. MOVEMENT MUST NOT FAIL The Establishment of a Military Training Camp For the Race is Intended to Flight Sogregation, Not to Encourage It, Says Noted Advocate of Human Rights. New York.—In reply to his critics with reference to the establishment of a military training camp for colored officers at Plattsburg, N. Y., Dr. J. E. Spingarn, leader of the movement, gives his reasons for the course he pursues in the following statement. Dr. Spingarn says: "No one could make a greater mistake than to think that the army wants colored men to join this camp. The army officials want the camp to fall. They refuse to set a time or place until 200 men apply, because they know that this is the hardest way of recruiting the camp. They have made the offer merely in order that they might be able to say that they gave colored people a fair chance and the colored people refused to take advantage of the opportunity. The last thing the army wants is to help colored men to become commissioned officers. "This project is intended to fight segregation and not to encourage it. If there were enough men fit to be officers it would not be necessary; we could fight for a wide open army with that material. But there are not enough men. The New York Negro regiment did not have enough colored men to fill the commissions. When war comes we do not wish to be in the same position. We want to be able to say, 'Here are colored men fit to be officers, and you have got to commission them.' "Those who think that a large number of officers could be obtained from the regular colored regiments simply show their ignorance of the army and of the enormous amount of 'paper work' an officer has to do. A good soldier is a man who has had military training; a good officer is a man who has military training, ability to lead and a good education. Few men who have not had at least a high school education can ever hope to pass the written examination that is necessary to become an officer. "The point has been made that a few scattered colored men in a white camp would be neglected and passed over, while colored men in a camp by themselves would all get a fair chance. There may possibly be some truth in this, but I am not willing to go as far as that. I regard this camp as a merely temporary expedient, lasting four weeks, that may possibly alter the fate of the colored race throughout a great war. It is an expedient for a great crisis. Colored men must get officers' training as soon as possible, and there is no other way with' the whole army against them. "The south does not want colored men to get any kind of military training; nothing frightens it more than the thought of millions of colored men with discipline, organising power and a dangerous effectiveness. That is why Vardaman is so bitterly opposed to universal military training. That is why the general staff of the army has decided to exclude colored men from the training and has reduced its original estimate of 900,000 to 500,000. That is why the colored man who refuses to take advantage of this hard won chance for a camp is biting off his own nose to spite his face. "If there is a war there will doubtless be conscription of all abebied men. All pretty talk about volunteering or not volunteering will have to cease; all men will have to go. The choice will no longer be between volunteering and not volunteering, but between conscription and rebellion. If conscription comes will the leaders of the race help their southern enemies by preaching treason and rebellion, or will they face facts right now and prepare themselves to go as leaders and not as privates?" CHURCHMAN REPORTED ILL. Organizer For National Equal Rights League Suffers Breakdown. The illness of the Rev. James E. Churchman at his home on Oakwood avenue, Orange, N. J., is causing his many friends and the institutions which he so gallantly serves much concern. The Rev. Mr. Churchman is the national organizer for the National Equal Rights league. He was the orator at the Boston celebration held in Faneuil hall Feb. 14 in honor of the one hundredth anniversary of the birth of Frederick Douglass. The Rev. Mr. Churchman was ill when he delivered his address in Faneuil hall and has since been confined to his home in Orange from overwork. He is receiving many letters of sympathy from numerous sources, which are being answered by Mra. Churchman as time permits. Mr. Churchman has been an active worker in movements for racial uplift in the north and south for a number of years. As an orator and fearless agitator for justice to the race he holds a foremost place. His condition was reported still quite serious on March 14. Hope for his recovery is the wish of all who know of his unselfish devotion to his race. BIG RELIGIOUS GATHERING. Washington Conference of M. E. Church Convenes at Baltimore. Baltimore.—The fifty-fourth annual session of the Washington conference of the Methodist Episcopal church, meeting at Ames Memorial M. E. church on Wednesday, March 14, promises to be one of the most eventful in the history of the colored conferences of the denomination. Bishop W. F. McDowell presided. Bishop McDowell is a member of the joint commission on unification of Methodism and is opposed to any coalition which takes place at the expense or elimination of the Negro. On the evening preceding the opening of the conference the anniversary of the Epworth League was observed, with the Rev. W. W. Lucas as the principal speaker. Dr. L Garland Penn, the corresponding secretary of the Freedmen's Aid society, delivered an address the following evening, as did also Abram W. Harris, educational secretary for the M. E. church. The music was furnished by the glee club of Morgan college. The fifty-fourth anniversary of the Rev. N. M. Carroll as a member of the conference was observed on Thursday evening. REV. ALBERT J. MITCHELL. March 15. Dr. Carroll is still one of the most active ministers in the denomination and is pastor at the Centennial M. E. church, where Frederick Douglass worshiped while living in Baltimore. The laymen held their session on Friday morning, and in the evening anniversaries of several boards were observed. The board of home missions and the Women's Home Missionary society will have charge of the services Saturday afternoon. Bishop Melowell will preach Sunday morning, March 18, and in the afternoon the ordination of deacons and elders will take place, with the Rev. J. W. E. Bowen preaching the sermon. The Rev. R. E. Jones, editor of the Southwestern Christian Advocate, and Dr. Lucas will be among the speakers late in the afternoon. The appointments will be announced Monday, March 19. The Rev. Albert J. Mitchell, the entertaining pastor, is one of the most successful of the younger members of the conference. Born in Jacksonville, Fla., and reared in New York city, he received his theological training at Gammon Theological seminary, Atlanta, graduating there from in 1908. He was in Atlanta during the riot there and tells a thrilling story of that stormy period. During his pastorate at Ames church Dr. Mitchell has shown that he is imbued with the community spirit. He has succeeded in getting more opportunities for young colored women to get work in factories and has shown a deep interest in the welfare of the blind and deaf. He has instituted a children's service at his church, the young ones gathering there Friday afternoons. Besides religious training, the children are taught manual training also. IN WASHINGTON'S MEMORY. Many Notables to Speak at Meeting Scheduled For March 20. Washington.—The postponed meeting in memory of the late Dr. Booker T. Washington is now definitely set for Tuesday evening, March 20, at which time Dr. R. R. Moton and Mr. Emmett J. Scott, president and secretary respectively of Tuskegee institute, will be the principal speakers. Plans for the meeting were laid at a session of the local committee on the Booker T. Washington memorial fund at which Chairman Henry Lasliter presided. The commodious John Wesley A. M. E. Zion church, Fourteenth and Cororcan streets, northwest, has been secured for the occasion, and the outlook for a great meeting is exceedingly bright. Citizens representing every phase of Washington life are members of the committee. All of the churches, schools, colleges, fraternal, benevolent and social organizations and the federal government will turn out in force to honor Dr. Washington and Tuskegee institute in a fitting manner. President Wilson and his cabinet, prominent members of both houses of congress, the judiciary and the diplomatic corps, the District commissioners, the board of education and others of national influence are invited to be present. This meeting will mark the close of the campaign for the Booker T. Washington memorial fund, and it is expected that the District of Columbia, which owes the late founder of Tuskegee Institute a large debt of gratitude, will do its full duty toward rounding out the sum into dignified proportions.

P. and the Denver Star joined hands in arousing the people to make a silent protest against the anti-tipping bill recently passed by the House and favorably reported upon by the Senate Labor Committee last Monday morning. After all the pastors of the different churches had, through strong appeals, urged their members to attend in a large body, the response was very fratifying and effective. Quite 150 Negroes responded and the Special Calendar Committee composed of three democrats and two republicans were unanimous in favor of killing the bill by not putting it upon the special calendar. We hope to make a thorow review of the legislation work and its benefits to the Negro folk, also call some names. ZION STIRS DENVER AS NEVER BEFORE. Sixty-seven Persons Hit the Trail and Response Wonderful.—Church Crowded. Never has any revival that we now can think of so thorny stirred Denver as had the revival conducted by Rev. D. E. Over, single-handed, with the assistance of his faithful band of workers. Denver ought to join in and make the already grand success a phenomenal outburst of righteousness. Strong and prominent men are being daily congratulated on their new aspiration. Workers are busy and all Christians together with the pastors, ought to join and put the climax on before the close. The Star is deeply grateful for the kind attention shown to Mrs. Geo. G. Ross by Editor Abbott of the Defender of Chicago. It is quite coincident as so many people have taken us for Editor Abbot, especially as each are lawyers in his respective state. We are very anxious to see our likeness. We are glad to see the Chicago Defender take such a high ground against lour and immoral practices. NOTES FROM TRINIDAD. The revival held with the St. Paul's Baptist Church, which was planned for 10 nights, beginning March 4th, was extended to 2 additional nights, because of such a manifested interest, zeal and religious enthusiasm. On the whole the meeting proved the greatest success known in the history of St. Paul's church. The plans for said meetings were judiciously made and prayerfully carried out, by both the pastor and people. The Holy Spirit found a large place for activity and service, to the glory of God, and for advancing the Kingdom of Jesus Christ in Trinidad. The new pastor, Rev. I. Harrison Wallace, was at his best, for 12 nights. The church was in fasting and prayer. The church truly revived, sinners converted to God. And you ask by what method? Just a bit of organization by the minister, but a deal of consecration by the church. 1st. The church, or a major portion of it was asked to form itself into a personal workers' group; with this motto: Prayer: before leaving home, endeavor to be led by Holy Spirit into streets and homes of others. 2nd. Inviting men and women to the meetings; securing names and addresses of those invited; making a prayer list, making notations as to Christians, sinners or back-sliders. 3rd. Whenever and wherever convenient, prayer should be offered 3 times a day, for Church, Pastor and people. 4th. Lists carefully made, original was to be retained by personal worker and supplement turned in to minister. The experience worked wonders in the life of both church and preacher. The meeting closed with 7 accessions to the little church; 4 for baptism; making a net gain for St. Paul's church of 17 persons since our new pastor came to Trinidad, Feb. 8th. God wonderfully blessed us with ideal weather. THE REPORTER. HAPPENINGS AT CRIPPLE CREEK.

Dr Matthew W. Gilbert the race loses one of its ablest Baptist clergymen. Dr Gilbert was a native of Mechanicsville S. C., where he was born July 25, 1832. He was ordained to the ministry in 1882 and was the pastor of some of the largest congregations in the denomination. He was the principal schools at Live Oak and Jacksonville Fla., respectively, held a professorship in Benedict college and was for some time the president of Selma university. Dr. Gilbert received the degree of bachelor of arts from Colgate university and his divinity degree from Guadaloupe college. He was a member of a number of influential religions or organizations among both races and was rated as a scholar. Dr. Gilbert was the pastor of the First Baptist church North Nashville, at the time of his death. He married Miss Agnes Boozer of Columbia, S. C., May 5, 1882. This union was blessed with three children. He is survived by his widow, a daughter and two sons. Funeral services for the deceased were held Sunday March 11. Interment was at Jacksonville, Fla. WILLIAMS SURE "KIN HIT." Negro Soldier Boxer Wine Welterweight Championship of Army. Recently Rufus Williams, a private of the Twenty-fourth United States infantry, stationed at Columbus, N. M., and "Whitey" Burns, a private of the Sixteenth United States infantry, fought twenty rounds at a place THE BOXING CLUB called El Valle, Mex., for the welterweight boxing championship of the United States army. The Negro soldier proved to be the better man and at the end of the twentieth round was declared the winner. The picture reproduced here shows Williams in action. Williams is quite a favorite with the boys of the Twenty-fourth, who regard him as one of the cleverest boxers the race has developed. "Whitey" Burns is quite willing to admit Rufus "kin hit." "God made the flowers to beautify the earth, and cheer man's careful mood; and he is the happiest who has the power to gather wisdom from a flower and wake his heart in every hour to pleasant gratitude." As we grow older and the shadows begin to lengthen, and the leaves which seemed so thick in youth above our heads grow thin and show the sky beyond, as those in the ranks in front drop away, as it seems, they are doing so frequently of late, we come in sight, as we must, of the stern eternal pits beyond, we begin to feel that among the really precious things of life, more lasting and more substantials than many of the objects, love and truth of those we love, and to realize keenly the friendship the devotion of those whose friendship we prize. Touching elbows a little closer as our ranks in our order get thinner on the march to the Eternal Hills, we get a closer insight and broader view of our responsibilities and opportunities. Having been dominated with faith, hope and courage, as exemplified in friendship, love and truth, Geo. D. Hall, our veteran Odd Fellow, our friend sought persistently after the highest ideals of A. B. the brotherhood of man. His life has been one of kindness and predominating love and sympathy and he gave to the Arapahoe lodge in particular, the order in general, the best years of his life and the best efforts of his brain. His fraternal brothers and sisters hold a deep and everlasting gratitude in their hearts for his kindly ministrations, his anxieties and his sacrifices. No effort has been too great a sacrifice if he could have helped a struggling Odd Fellow or Ruthite to the light of his or her duty thru knowledge. He favored the progress of young men. Sometimes ago the Star made the following write up of Geo. David Hall, who was then the Permanent Secretary of Arapahoe Lodge No. 2936, G. U. O. O. F. Born Oct. 12, 1867, in Gasconade Co., Mo., he came to Denver May-9, 1879, and has been a long respected citizen and church worker ever since. He attended the public schools of this city, learning O O O the broom trade. During his life he has been actively connected with social, church and fraternal organizations, being a staunch and faithful member of Arapahoe lodge since Nov. 11, 1887, faithfully serving all stations several times in his lodge. He joined the Past Grand Masters' Council No. 115. Jan. 13, 1892, and the Denver Patriarchy No. 67, Nov. 9, 1892, and was highly honored by having been elected Deputy Grand Master and District Grand Master of the Grand Lodge, District No. 33. He represented his lodge in the B. M. C. at Indianapolis, 1896, and was elected P. S. of his lodge April 1, 1895, nearly 22 years ago and held it honorably and continuously until he died. He had been also a trustee since 1899. In 1900 he joined the United Brothers of Friendship, being a member of Western Star lodge, and served them from Grand Master down to the humblest office in the lodge. He was also a member of the Sisters of Mysterious Ten. He was a member in good standing at Central Baptist Church and a very loyal and silent worker. Geo. D. Hall had the utmost confidence of his employers, M J T his fraternal associates, his church and was held in high esteem by the public in general. His last earthly act was to carry the forms of the Denver Star, March 9, over to the Western Newspaper Union, which he had done for the past 25 years. He went home and confined to his bed a little more than a week, died 4 p. m., Saturday, March 17, St. Patrick's birthday, in the arms of ex-Grand Master T. S. Rector (Mason) and Odd Fellow, at his home, 4265 Acoma st. Thus ends the life, character and career of a beautiful life. He left an inspiring testimony, he having seen and been visited on several times during his sickness by his wife, whose death poor George never fully gotten over. God bless him; may his dear memories always remain green with the Denver Star and his kindly acts be ever appreciated by all. May he rest in peace.

Elkins, the spider-like human giraffe, with rosy red tulips and a dash or two of brunette powder in his complexion to offset his little wee mouth, had the house in spasms of joy. Hattie McDaniels' red hot Ula Ula chimney chachua with her grass-like skirt fitted so well her physique, turned the house upside down with laughter and screams. Some are laughing yet.

Brooklyn.—The recent celebration of the centenary of the birth of Frederick Douglass by the colored citizens of this city had in it a big lesson for the young people of this municipality. The celebration was held in the auditorium of the Boys’ high school. Besides the members of our own race, who deliver- ed timely addresses, Dr. John F. Car- son delivered an interesting speech, in which be showed that the white people were quite well informed on the strug- gles and achievements of our great leader. Dr. C. P. Cole presided, and Mr. George E. Wibecan delivered the ora- tion, in which he in part said: The'story of Douglass’ life is famfilar to every schoolboy and is a striking story of courage, achievement and service. ‘The Pathos of his life haa no parallel in the history of great men throughout the world or annals of mankind The brutality of the civilization of his times Is manifest 11 the eventa which shaped his birth and the experience of his enslavement. Education was refused him, and he sc- cured the fragments of learning from dirty pleces of paper in gutters or wher ever he might find them. He was sent from Tuckahoe, M4., hls birthplace, to Baltimore to learn the ship caulker's trade. Here he got his first conceptior of letters seen in the names on ships. 1c was forced to divide his pay with his mas- ter. Such was the price that slavery lev- Jed on the slave. We are familiar with his ultimate escape disguised as a sallor. Ilit experience as a runaway slave in New York, dented food and a place to slecp, accommodation in cars, mobbed in tle streets, Douglass lived to enjoy. honors that no other colored man has enjoyed in our history, * * * He destroyed such an impeachment of a race by the power of his oratory and be came the most striking and remarkable figure of all the orators of his time and at a period when it was the golden age of oratory in America, It was sald of De- ‘mosthenes that he took such delight in the history of Thucydides that he obtained familiar and perfect mastery of his style and recopied his history eight times, That Sclplo Africanus was made # hero by the writing of Xenophon; Alexander the Great carried s copy of Homer ine golden casket with him jn all his ware and con- Quests; Liebnits, the great German, read “Virgil so often that he could repeat whole books by heart; Rousseau, who aid the ‘foundations of the French revolution, got his inspiration from Plutarch, Mon- talgne and Locke, and so with Dougiass the “Columbian Orator” was his “guide, Dhilosopher and friend” from which he re- ceived his style. : Douglass as an orator gave strength and life to the abolition movement. Without his ald {t would have played a ies impor- tant part in the work of anti-slavery ast tation. Race consciousness was the ideal and lesson of his life; he epitomized bie whole existence and the status of his race when he replied that he “should be judged by the heights to which he attained and not the depths from which he sprang.” The genius of his leadership was in achievements which not only helped te free the slave, but which laid the founda- tion of the slaye citizenship through. the three war amendments. The story of his life is interwoven with the history of our country during its darkest hour, a period made glorious by hig labors, the work of the abolitionists and the civil war. Born a slave, he died possessed of na- ture’s greatest gifts; from the obscurity of slavery he reached the loftiest heights of citizenship. His alphabet was taught him by his grandmother, Betty Halley, and the Bible lesson of Miss Auld, his mistress, who was forbidden to teach him any longer.

When the war clouds darkened and the south was win- ning battles and the north was in despair, when northern depots were crowded high with bodles of Union soldters slain in bat- tla, when the hateful hand of secession was reaching out to snatch the fag, when the mob was running mad in the streets of New York and other cities, carrying bloodshed and ruin in its wake, protesting against being drafted to fight for “nig- Sers,” Douglass was urging Lincoln to arm the black man. He had the vision that the Union could not be preserved unless the hands of the men of color were raised in defense of the flag. He cried, “Liberty won by white men would lose half ite luster,” “Whe would be free themselves must strike the blow,"” “Better even to die free than to die “slaves,” “By every consideration Which: bilide you to Your enslaved fatlew 2 THE HOWARD ORPHANAGE AND INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL Welton Market and Dept.

Mitchell, president of Delaware col- lege, Newark, Del., at the recent meet- ing in the interest of the Hampton (Va.) institute, held at Carnegie ball, New York, was a comprehensive re- view of the institution's efforts and ‘achievements in the educational fleld. Interest in these yearly meetings of this famous southern school, held in various sections of the north, increases. The mere announcement of a Hamp- ton meeting 1s sufficient to guarantee & good Attendance of friends of the school from among members of both races. Y ‘The following extracts from Dr. Mitchell's speech show the institution is regarded nationally. Dr. Mitchell in part said: “Hampton stands not merely as a school, but as a statesmaniike program in the making of a race. In addition to making quiet homes, improved farms and thrifty shops, Hampton has Planted racial self respect and hope in the heart of the Negro, Negroes are no longer scattered as sheep without a shepherd. The race has been given co- herence, individuality and a sense of capacity for growth and achievement ‘by reason of the confidence which Hampton has reposed in its character. “Hampton is not to be regarded #0 much as a new method in education as the substance of a social philosophy for all backward peoples, If racial ad- fustment is today an acute problem on all continents the significance of Hamp- ton ts worldwide in showing how races differing 1p color and character may yet dwelt Poether upon the same soll fu the spirit of mutual helpfulness.” - Gardner Manufacturing Company MANUFACTURERS OF Madam Lydia Gardner's Magical : Lip Reducer i co —iT, Ss ‘ RE ce? ¢ A ] Di GDI iM (aoe = . .

Professor Frazier is well acquainted with affairs at the institution, in which be has taught for some time, WAGE FIGHT FOR EQUAL JUSTICE Colored People of Richmond, Va., State Their Case. WANT RIGHTS PROTECTED Attempt of Richmond's 'City Attorney to Prove Race Benefits by Being Segregated Met With Undeniable Facts. Mechanics' Bank Building a Fair Sample of Intelligence and Industry. Richmond, Va.—The Louisville (Ky.) segregation ordinance will be reargued before the supreme court at Washington this month, March. Due to the fact that Louisville copied the Richmond (Va.) ordinance, the city attorney here, the Hon. H. R. Pollard, has filed a brief, as amicus curiae, commending segregation, and in addition has offered as exhibits in evidence photographs of Negro churches, residences and business places to prove that segregation has been beneficial to the Negro's progress. The colored people of Richmond were amazed when they learned of the city attorney's attitude. There is not a THE BANK OF THE UNITED STATES MECHANICS BANK BUILDING building in the city occupied by colored people that can be pointed to as the good results of segregation. All buildings shown in the photos were built or were in course of erection before the ordinance was even drawn. In fact, the building and improving of some of these houses that he uses to commend as the good results of segregation were the immediate cause of the segregating of the colored people. Real Purpose of Segregation Laws. The average southerner pretends that the reason the southern whites restrict Negroes to certain areas in their communities is because the Negroes are shiftless and keep their premises in insanitary condition. They claim the Negroes do not improve but destroy the homes they occupy. In other words, they picture the Negroes as destroyers and not makers of values. Their actions show that the real cause of segregation is to prevent the Negroes from making and showing real progress. The Mechanics' Saving bank, owned by colored people, occupied a substantial but inadequate building on Third street, between Clay and Leigh streets. On the northwest corner of Third and Clay streets stood an old brick residence deserted by the whites. The bank bought this and the adjoining building. After breaking down a determined opposition on part of some of the whites the bank secured a permit and put up a handsome four story, brick building and remodeled the old building adjoining it on the west at a cost between $25,000 and $30,000. This improvement would be considered a credit to any community where pluck and enterprise are appreciated, but not so here, as will be shown. Thrift Ameng Colored People Noted. A congregation of colored people prior to the purchase and building of this bank building had purchased, remodeled and occupied an old unused church building about three blocks west of the bank site on Clay street. This old church building had stood as an eye-sore to this part of the community for years. Sayeral attempts had been made to sell it to the whites, but without success. No white bidder, so we were informed, had offered more than $6,000. The colored people paid $11,500 for it. Other properties in this and other neighborhoods adjoining the colored section had been purchased by colored people. This was done to provide for the natural increase of the colored population. colored popemakers. The whites reemerged did not relish these evidences of the Negro's progress, so they invoked a new kind of hindrance to the Negro's advancement the infamous segregation law. The colored people fought it from its introduction in the council to the state court of appeals, and, although they were defeated all along the line, they have never ceased their opposition to it, nor have they ever seen anything beneficial to their interests in the enforcing of its provisions. Baneful Effect of Race Prejudice. A Jew or Greek will open a shop in the colored section. After a few weeks his family will be moved over his store, and nothing is done about it. But if a Negro moves in his own house, should it be located around the corner from the Negro quarter and the whites are in the majority in that block, he will be fined and forced to move out of his own house. Is it reasonable to think that the colored people could commend such a law? The Negroes of Richmond feel, like members of the race everywhere else, that the segregation laws are the greatest foes that the race has had to contend against since the infamous Dred Scott decision of antebellum days. The segregation laws destroy property rights, encourage race hatred, force colored people to live in the unhealthy and overcrowded parts of a community, with no provisions for improving these conditions, set up a bar to their self advancement and thereby stultify their growth as a race. Living in these overcrowded, unhealthy and unnatural conditions will certainly produce and increase crime, vice and immorality and is the basis for the apparent high death rate of the Negroes of this city. CAMPAIGN OF EDUCATION. Professor T. C. Erwin Reports Success of Organized Work in Virginia What the Negro Organization Society of Virginia accomplished during 1916 for better schools, homes, community uplift and better health is interestingly told in the report of Professor Temple C. Erwin, field agent for the society. Major Allen Washington, commandant of cadets at the Hampton (Va.) institute, is president of the organization. He expresses much gratification over the good results obtained, yet Major Washington believes that a greater work may yet be done for the people of the rural districts. Professor Erwin in his report says: "More and more the necessity for determined action against the forces of destruction and the wisdom of concerted effort grow upon the Negroes of Virginia. During the year just closed we have seen them rallying with increased vigor to the cause of uplift and battling in ways to them more or less new to improve school conditions, to withstand the inroads of communicable diseases and to remedy untoward conditions surrounding life on the farm. The influence of this movement is being felt throughout the state where colored people live in any considerable numbers, and organizations of almost every conceivable kind are to be counted among the numbers of those that make up this society. "In a number of communities into which we have gone it has been necessary to initiate the idea of school improvement through co-operation and to point out the essential nature of such work to substantial growth. In such places school development is in the primitive stage. In many of these instances leagues were organized, and in some movements looking to the erection of new school buildings were begun and the people thus sent on to their important work of developing better school facilities. "In other communities we have found the people laboring as best they could in accordance with the light they had to remedy conditions for the education of their children. We have sometimes found them working with commendable zeal, but with poor advice, raising money to repair an inadequate and dilapidated building when only the erection of a new one would constitute a wise investment or endeavoring to secure funds for a longer school term and yet had permitted the school attendance to dwindle almost to the vanishing point during the last month or two of the regular term. "Reports from twenty of the counties of the state will serve to indicate the breadth and effectiveness of the clean up movement. These twenty counties were selected because the reports coming from them are more or less accurate and complete, as we have better means of getting reports from these than from some other counties. "They report 35 dwellings painted, 311 dwellings whitewashed, 1,006 homes cleaned, 121 fences repaired and built, 370 outbuildings whitewashed, 51 homes screened, 1,020 yards cleaned, 67 sanitary closets built, 21 closets repaired, 138 barns and outbuildings cleaned, 130 wells and springs improved, 47 schools and school yards cleaned and 20 churches better ventilated. "The reports also show that on 42 farms the tools and implements were repaired and put in order, and on 12 farms unfilled land was cleaned. It is impossible to estimate the moral and practical good accomplished through the work done in these twenty counties and in a similar way in most of the other counties of the state." University Students to Hold Debate. The debate between students of Willborce university and the Virginia Union university will be held at the latter institution in Richmond, Va., on Friday evening, March 23. The subject for debate will be, "Resolved. That the Federal Government Should Own and Operate All Railroads in the United States." E. E. Smith and C. H. Thompson of Union university will speak on the affirmative side of the question. Educational circles in Richmond and the general public are looking forward to the coming contest between the students of these two famous schools with much interest.

WE ARE GLAD TO EXPLAIN COLONEL CHILDERS is howling about yesterday's little affair and claima we attempted to asses- sinate him. While we have lived here too long for any solid business man to be believe any such thing of us, an ex- planation is perhaps due to all par- ties. The Cause. The colonel's wife is a poetess. That in, she has copied poetry from standard poets and brought it to us as original, and it has been published as such in the Kicker. On several occasions we have suspected that all was not right, but we are kind hearted and willing to show them. Today morning she brought in a poem entitled "The Old Oaken Bucket." We thought we'd heard it somewhere, but she assured us that it was strictly original. She hadn't been gone half an hour when our literary editor, who also thought he had heard of such a poem, found that our suspicions were correct. The poetess had stolen the whole thing. The Effect The colonel happened to be passing by, and we called him in and broke the news as gently as possible. He flew mad in a moment and attempted to draw on us. It turned out, however, that he had left his gun at home, and we held him up against the wall and slit his rightharpoon and let him go. SUNRISE EDITION POOR OLD DADDY. ONE of the funniest things that ever happened in this town was pulled-off in good shape Tuesday afternoon. On Monday we got a keg of red in Chicago, being the first thing of the sort ever seen in this town or, for that matter, in this part of the state. Hia Jealousy. Our esteemed contemporary down the street has had a great many things to bear from us, and the red ink was the last straw. He sent us word that he was going to shoot us on sight, but we'd forbidden about it when we started for the postoffice at 3 o'clock. As we saw Santa Fe alley we heard a pistol go off, followed by several successive reports, but as there was nothing unusual in fuselage, we kept in. It was not until we had entered the postoffice that Colonel Irwin came running in to inform us that we had been shot at. Hia Humiliation. It seems our esteemed contemporary ambushed us at the alley and fired his first shot. Then he followed on and plugged us in, and without us suspecting it, and finding he could not accomplish anything he sat down on a barrel and cried like a boy. When we understood the case we went back and offered to stand against the wall and let him pop in with a shot that off in a petulant spirit without even thanking us. Poor old daddy! M. QUAD.

How many of us realize how much we will help ourselves by boosting our competitor instead of knocking him? To those of us who do not, the above picture, from Armour, will carry its own message. No amount of reasoning or logic could show any more clearly and definitely just what cooperation means. Let's all apply it to our own business this year and wait for results. NEGROES, STUDY THIS PICTURE. THEN ACT. The Star prints the above lesson in order to convince some of the most skeptical Negroes of Denver and Colorado, as well as elsewhere, what it will mean for ten millions of Negroes whose minds, hearts, objects, purposes, ambitions and work are doggedly set up on one certain thing—elimination of all caste, prejudice and inequality for every one—or certain things of uplift to humanity, and what a unified action can do. This lesson applies to Negroes who patronize others than their own in business, even if you or they don't like the man or men running in business. Patronize him or his competitor of color. Every nickel taken from the business and professional man of color only weakens him and strengthens the chains of prejudice and unfair competition upon your necks, besides helping the race who least need your help. We are our own masters, if we would rightly and intelligently use what means which are ours. Think of 100 Negroes putting $1 aside a month in a colored company or in a bank and buying pigs, horses, cattle, chickens, turkeys and Belgian hares and putting those animals on the ranches of our Negro farmers, what would it mean in two years to the farmer, yourself and our Denver community? A Negro auto transportation service, a Negro commission merchant and produce dealer, Negro distributor of eggs and poultry to Capitol Hill customers and a Negro general store in the farmers' settlement all because Denver and Colorado Negroes are working together. Study this picture and wisely develop your money and brains. Again, let us suppose every female who needed such an article would patronize the only corset maker in Denver and in Colorado, Miss Beatrice Lewis, in one week she would be compelled to hire extra help. Suppose that in July, when the Prince Hall chapter of the O. E. S. meets in Colorado Springs, that the women have exhibits and displays for their inspection, thoroughly showing that co-operative spirit. When the calves decided to get together for their own benefit first all opposition failed. Unity leads to conference which will ultimately result into co-operation, so stick together if you have to hang together in parts. Success crowns all co-operative efforts. EDGEWATER BRIEFLETS.
