Denver Star

It Pays To Advertise. Get Wise and Let The Denver Star Talk For You TWENTY-SEVENTH YEAR Number 181 NEGRO MUST NOT EQUIVOCATE. Stand or Fall. Crisis at Hand Can't Win Rights by Compromise. Either Color Caste Right or Wrong. One of the painful surprises of the last two months as events seemed to promise a chance for the relief of Colored Americans from the ban of segregation in the course pursued by Prof. Joel E. Spingarn. Though having spoken out as an opponent of legal or governmental color segregation, by which course he secured the confidence of the race to a large degree, Prof. Spingarn, chairman of the Board of Directors of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored people has come out in favor of a new form of color segregation by the federal government. Not only so, but Dr. Spingarn after making himself auspicious as an opponent of residence segregation and federal segregation, has been very actively using his influence as a friend of the race to induce Colored men to accept and presumably endorse and as sist a new proposed segregation by the War Department. For several weeks Dr. Spingarn has had in the Colored newspapers all over the country a circular letter urging Colored men to apply for admission to a U. S. Military Training Camp of army officers exclusively for Colored men. He has literally gone up and down the country electionering, in fact trying virtually to stampede Colored men into this strictly Jim-Crow educational measure, doing so at the very time a Bourbon Southern Congress man has introduced a bill for a regular Jim Crow West Point. Fortunately most, if not all, of the leading Colored news papers, have opposed this extension of federal segregation The Chicago Defender, The Appeal, Cleveland Gazette, New York Age, New York News, The Freman, The Afro American and many others oppose the Spingarn appeal to compromise our rights. This is not merely a matter of accepting or not accepting segregation for here is a white leader of Colored folks who has been a protestator of color segregation especially the new Department segregation under this Wilson administration now advocating another new color segregation of the Wilson regime. It becomes first a question of inconsisten cy for Colored Americans, though fighting in 4 Colored regiments, have members of the race living and acting trained to be officers in West Point with the white cadets. To accept this separate military training establishment The Denver Star ESTABLISHED 1888 Philadelphia, Pa.—Charles Edward Russel, author and Socialist, praises France be cause "the narrow, blind hat red of race prejudice is unknown there." Mr. Russel spoke on Race Prejudices" in the Broad Street Theatre under the auspices of the Social ist Literary Society. The speaker declared race prejudices were rampant in this country and decried the tendency of the white race to consider itself superior to other races of the world. This country, he said, was constantly bungling the Negro problem. He denounced the lynchings in the southern States, and added: "Unless race prejudices are eliminated in this country the crust of the volcano on which we are sitting will give way very soon." "France," continued Mr. Russell; "has given the Negro true citizenship. In France liberty, equality and fraternity are not hollow mockeries and empty dreams. In the Chamber of Deputies black men sit side by side with whites. France has never deigned to draw a color line. relinquishes or appears to, our right to go to West Point. In the second place the endorsement of an erstwhile opponent of segregation lends added help to the federal segregators and works to break down the Colored opposition to segregation with added strength. It either looks like a change of front on the issue by its opponents or takes from the segregation move some of its flagrance. In the third place the great activity of Dr. Spingarn as a white man, one outside the race, or such a vital matter in promoting any segregation measure by this administration, is unfortunate. It seems officious and coming at a time when this unworthy administration is getting into a very tight place, for a professed white friend to try to rush aid to the Wilson forces in corral ing Colored assistance, savors too much of exploitation. As the appeal of St. Paul says, after referring to the fact that Dr. Spingarn or his ancestors have escaped from the Jewish Ghetto in Russia: "What is the difference between the segregation in the departments at Washington and segregation in the training of Colored Americans who are to fight for their country." Dr. Spingarn's reason for this admitted segregation, namely, that it will provide Colored officers is met by the Appeal's protest against com promising the rights of the race; his claim that such Jim-Crow trained officers would be a means of fighting for a "wide open army" by the single sentence:—"You cannot defeat prejudice by comprimising with it." THE CALL THE RESPONSE Both democratic and republican friends and enemies were elected to office. The Star had been promised that no bills inimical to our interest would pass and true as was pledged by the powers that be, none passed. It is here that we got into the game by drawing at the suggestion of Wm. Sandelin as representative of the Speer Five Points Club, a bill creating a comfort and rest room for ladies at the Capitol. Representative Arthur Meyer introduced the same in the House and with the aid and assistance of Mr. O. T. Jackson of the Governor's office introduced thru Senator Coldren in the Senate. It passed the House and reported favorably out of the Senate committee but died because it could not get on the special calendar of the Senate. In the Star's lobbying with some of the Representatives, we want to thank specially Representatives Linton, Meyers, Ardourel, Best, Bills, Bronaugh, Canon, Crowley, Furrow and Houtchens and Torbit (Rep) of El Paso Co. as well as, Edmund Rogers of Denver, for the kindness and courtesy shown our delegation and for their active services in helping passing and defeating bills which vitally affected the Negroes welfare. Senator Kluge, a democrat, introduced and had passed both houses for the signature of the Governor, a bill forbidding certain kinds of discrimination in places of public accommodation, resort or amusement and to prevent publication and distribution of discriminating matter and to DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, MARCH 31, 1917 punish the same. Senator Wm. Eaton raised the race is sue by introducing bill 426 (which died soon after its birth) to strengthen the policy of this state as preventing intermarriage between whites Negroes and mulattoes. Too much honor cannot be given the Judicial committee and others who heard the arguments made by the N. A. A. C. P. Committee. Go where they may, or do what they will, they will never forget the arguments made and the scientific data presented by Negroes showing the utter foolishness of any kind of discrimination based upon race or color. Republicans Eaton and Harris Defeated Today the Negro of the West seeks an Orchestra seat in the Hall of Races populating the Western country where the great drama of hustling, active and Western life in civilization is being played. The time has come when he is no longer willing to be Jim-crowed in the gallery—a race set apart and branded by purely prejudice and injustice as the inferior race. The curtain rises—the Play of Life moves across the stage—and he, the Leper of races, must view it from his Jim Crowed pen! Among the hustle and bustle of the various races and groupes, this humiliation is bad enough but what role had he in the drama of useful life of befitting service of humanity? He was neither hero, heroine nor even a villian. He is the only, the fawning, servile, cringing, lacky of the supposed Superior Races. He is in his place both as a spectator and as an actor in this pitiless struggle for existence. He is an intruder always, shuffling in taking the end seat, the only one open to him. Even then he is spurned by white and yellow brothers and if he protests against such injustice he is termed "impertinent" and then insulted by one of the statements; the one is that he is the accursed race destined to be servants forever and need not hope to escape his destiny; the other explanation—the one so generally offered as safe to him by his supposed friends—is that altho he may be their very distantly related brother, yet he is centuries in the rear of civilization and that he must plod slowly and patiently for ages yet before he may even expect to be recognized in the family of races. Senator Eaton did not present any facts, data or information to uphold his bill of prejudice. A similar law of prejudice is now on the books and 3 democratic Senators avowed that they were willing to vote to repeal the law as it stands on our books today affecting interracial marriage because of the rank injustice done one class of citizens only. But it was when the antitipping bill came over to the Senate and was reported favorably out of the Committee after 5 minutes, that Negroes showed some concern about their interests which was destroyed by this measure without any loss made up. Assemblyman Harris wanted to prevent Negro porters from even receiving a Christmas on birthday present while Senator Eaton wanted Colorado to permit a stream of illegitimate children of Negro blood to come into Colorado adding to the Negro population, with out any chance for the offspring to inherit nor the mother to save herself like women of other races similarly placed. Both were Republicans who hurled these slams at you luckily democrats and republicans killed the bill. The Star can never forget the Democratic Senators Napier, West and Schermerhorn, W. D. Riley, Perry C. Dunlap, Wm. Adams of Alamosa, Kluge, Hattenbach, Knauss, Dodge and Hayden, Starkweather and Representatives Torbert and Senator Puffer of Colorado Springs (Rep). The Star feels greatly indebted to Senators Wm. Adams, Kluge, Hattenback, Dodge and Knauss because they treated and considered with patience our every grievance and were true blue to their promises. Good legislation which affects the general public will in turn work out good for the Negro has passed. We met the best in both parties, a better and more friendly understanding exists. All the more is the Star convinced that we must pick out individuals who are friendly regardless as to their labels and convince them of the justice of our cause and let them become missionaries of good toward all humanity rather than try to convince the whole party of any particular faith to our cause. We have found that a big, broad-minded. liberal man is the same throut, no matter He is indeed the black sheep of the family of the human race. Colorado and Denver having recently been visited by the "Birth of the Nation" and with threatened segregation staring them in the face, the Negro voter and citizen dividing his political strength and influence cautiously put into office such men, as, when the trying hour came, as it surely came in the Anti-tipping bill crisis—would do the square and manly thing toward the uplift of struggling humanity. Negroes realizing his perils and impending disgrace sought friendship and peace from people who were once declared our enemies. The closer the contact with them the keener the perception of the common mutual interests, which caused confidence to grow instead of long standing prejudices. That no one party was found to possess all the brain, talent, friendliness and sympathy for the struggling masses, but there were small, narrow conceited men in both parties whom the Negroes must eschew, and try get interested in them the broad spirited, big-hearted man regard less of his affiliation. While we note the absence of the Negro matron and doorkeeper in the legislation, yet we find greater and better consideration was given us along another line which bids for greater and higher respect among our fellows. Our acquaintances with Mr. Miller, President of the Land Board has helped to increase our friendliness and mutual understanding. where placed and will ring true when face to face with facts. The Star said before election and repeats more strongly now that one of the many purposes of supporting men and women of the democratic faith, was that their election should afford us a better opportunity to get more thoroly acquainted with the better class and liberal thinking element of the white democracy and to most emphatically inform them that the only aims and objects to which Negroes, well as themselves were striving were good citizenship, upbuild of the state together with a respectful peace and prosperity. We met them and sincerely trust that our aim to get a better understanding, a more thoroco-operation and working basis between the races was reached, after which politics entered. We pinned much hope to our Governor Gunter and we can say of a truth that no act or deed of his yet, has causedu r gave The unparalled public reception given by Mrs. Julius C. Gunter, the first lady of the State will go down in history as epoch-making for its success and grandeur, The Morrison Jas Band furnished music for the Governor three or four times besides during the closing hours of the legislative session. What has this democratic lesson taught the Negro? First, that he must study the appropriation bills, get Senate and House journals and study and scrutinize closely the votes of the members and the amount of State money received by Negroes. That when Negroes armed with information and facts in a capable and intelligent manner present themselves decorously; their arguments consistently and convincingly will not only deserve but receive consideration That the best and bigger calibre men of the democratic faith are the same as the best and bigger calibre men of the republican faith That their differences when it comes to human justice are the labels and not principles nor sympa thetic spirit. The lesson has taught that the best in their party are in favor of the good in all men and kinds developed as opposed to the suppression of good by a few, substituting mutuality helpfulness, justice and ordinary decent respect to strife, race hatred, selfishness and exploitation of men or things. There was such a good spirit of cooperation manifested between real true men that it was hard to discern who were the best and broadest in our attempt to get a square deal and finally big men naturally big cannot be little and narrow even in small things and that little selfish, self-concited, self-filled men always remain the same in all things wherever put.

Douglass Has Accomplished by Persistent Effort. complished by Persistent Effort. Helena, Ark.-The great men and women of this age are those who benefit humanity and make a substantial contribution to their brothers and sisters. It is the Christ spirit to help the fortunate and the unfortunate and to be able to do things worth while. In the class of our great women of the race who have proved their worth is to be found Madam R. C. Douglass of this city, founder and president of Vira college. Madam Douglass was born of humble parents in Macon, Miss. She attended the high school in St. Louis and afterward studied at Normal, Ala., under the noted educator, William H. Council. She was not in a hurry to get out of school, because she had a desire to be thorough, hence remained until she had finished the course. She felt that she owed something to her people; hence her early work was in the church and Sunday school. A few years ago, with a desire to help the young women of the south and A. E. MADAM R. C. DOUGLASS. thus open to them a door of opportunity, Madam Douglass left St. Louis for this city, where she established the Vira college. Success attended her efforts, and soon the school was crowded with young women eager to learn a trade. It did not take the fame of this institution long to spread, and be it said to the credit of this young woman that she has been the instrument through which many young women have been able to make an independent living. Recently in the East Arkansas conference Madam Douglass made a strong appeal for a more enlightened womanhood. She pointed out the fact that many young people take the wrong step because they lack proper instruction. She told the ministers that it was not enough to preach the young people into the church and then leave them. "Human minds and souls," she said, "must be fed just like the body. You must feed them on good, substantial food. It is an awful thing to neglect the mind and soul." Madam Douglass takes advantage of every opportunity to help the young of the race. She pleads for better home life, for more real constructive work in the school and church and urges the young people to get education, get bank accounts, get homes and then teach their children how to get real results from their efforts. Madam Douglass is widely known in the south and west, in which sections of the country- she has done her best work. Her aim is to assist as far as possible in the training of young women for business careers. As a speaker and lecturer she is well equipped. In her illustrated lectures are shown many men and women of the race who have risen to prominence in the business world by hard work. In this city her work has a stimulating effect upon the general public. She is ambitious and untiring in her labors. BELIEVES IN HIS PEOPLE. Alozenz Milton Skrine Praises Patriotism of Colored Americans. In a recent issue of the New York Sun appears the following article written by Alonzo Milton Skrine of Brooklyn: Should the Negro take up arms for this country in case of war? Positively yes. Let me say this country today is united, and as one of the family the Negro realizes the obligation of citizenship and also remembers that the first blood of the Revolution was shed by a Negro, Crispus Attucks, and that it was Sergeant Carney, a Negro, whose dying words were, "The old flag never touched the ground." The Negroes are thinking much just now of their responsibility and their duty as American citizens. We are facing a time of crises for our country and our race. Our government has been compelled to take a definite position as to the issue involved in the world's war. The principles at stake in this conflict are as vital to the 10,000,000 of Negroes as they are to the white population of this country. The Negro has acquired much land and is becoming a home builder. He is fast learning the habits of thrift that have built many churches and schools, and he is ready and willing to protect his property and that of his neighbor and friend the white man and defend the flag that gave him his freedom. The Negro knows no danger, he has no cowardly fear, and when he hears the battle call he will be the first to volunteer. IMPORTANCE OF TRAINED LEADERS VIEWS OF WILLIAM S. DODD Official of Influential Virginia Institution Relates What Is Being Done to Prepare Young Men and Women to Meet the Needs of Our Race in the Business World. Hampton, Va.—William S. Dodd, who is in charge of the Hampton institute business course, has written an interesting account of the way in which Hampton is training students for high grade business positions. Mr. Dodd in a recent report says: The National Negro Business league, organized by Booker Washington and composed of scores of local leagues scattered throughout thirty-one states, is yearly becoming more beneficial in its influence. The league has served to awaken in the Negro a sense of his business shortcomings, has taught him the necessity and value of co-operation and is gradually leading him to an appreciation of the approved business methods employed by the white man. The need of trained business men to direct and manage the various business enterprises of the Negro is a crying one, while the opportunities that are open to him are many and alluring. In no sphere of activity has the Negro a greater opportunity for usefulness and success than in agriculture. Success in farming, however, is largely dependent on the practical application and use of correct business methods. What is true in the case of agriculture is also to a great extent true of the various trades in which the race is becoming so largely engaged. Hampton's business course is planned with a view to meet and supply, as far as it can, the needs of the Negro business world. The course is one of four years. Thirty boys are now taking this course, and a yearly increase in numbers is probable. An exceptional and valuable feature of the course is the advantage offered in the fourth year of daily work in the various offices of the Hampton school. The student is thus enabled to gain by actual contact and handling a practical knowledge of business practices. This feature furnishes another instance of Hampton's educational method of "learning by doing." Some of the subjects taught in the course are such as form the basis of every practical and well balanced business curriculum. Bookkeeping, stenography, typewriting, English, penmanship and commercial arithmetic are the fundamentals. The thorough instruction which is given in the subjects mentioned fits young men to serve efficiently in clerical as well as in certain larger business positions. A purpose of the course, however, is a wider one than merely to train young men to be bookkeepers, typewriters or stenographers, important and necessary as this is. The race today stands in need of business leaders who are thoroughly equipped and able to inaugurate, organize and direct business enterprises. Besides, then, the subjects already stated a practical study is made of business transactions, methods and law, and there is an effort to stir initiative and to give grasp and vision. Experience has already shown that this broader purpose may reasonably be expected to be realized in some cases. Aside from this exclusive business course, there is given a short course in practical business matters. The Negro generally is sadly lacking in a knowledge of such matters and consequently is too often victimized or suffers unnecessary loss. The aim of this short course of four months is to give to the student a knowledge sufficient for him to understand and to handle the ordinary matters of business. This course is made as practical in its bearing as possible, and the topics studied are such as are suggested by existing needs and conditions. Deeds, mortgages, wills, banking, taxes and insurance are among the subjects studied. All the girls take this course, and as most of them are to be teachers they will be in positions to impart to others the knowledge they themselves have received. In this way the influence and value of the course will be made farreaching. Every boy and girl while at Hampton receives some instruction in business. One of the graduates of the Hamp ton business course, Don A. Davis, h now the efficient cashier of the Hamp ton school, while two others, William M. Rich and E. H. Vaughn, are h charge of a Negro bank in Norfolk This bank under their successful man agement has grown into a large institution. Its Christmas accounts along the past year amounted to over $70. 000 and were exceeded only by those of the largest white bank in the city of Norfolk.

The Star realizes that the advantages and tempting inducements which might flow from a Jim Crow West Point, but since God is God and right is right and right some day will win, to doubt now would be disloyalty, to falter would be sin. We have yet great confidence in Prof. Spingarn, who is on the job all the time, but the principle of establishing a "Jim Crow' governmental academy, even if temporary, to destroy it at some later day, suggests to us that we are playing with fire. If the government forces us, as he says, it is far better for us than surrendering the principle so dear to our hearts. Remember the blade of force and conscription cuts both ways and if this administration is prejudiced against Negroes, even in a time of need, let the reward of their sins fall where it may. God is living yet and He can better administer rewards and punishments than we can attempt to prevent the dodging of a sequence of unjust practice. UNIQUE, PLEASING AND INSPIRING. Recital of Negro Composers by Negro Performers Grand Success. Notwithstanding in a cold blizzard-like atmosphere Thursday night, the talented tenth of the community of music and art lovers came to the People's Presbyterian church to hear rendered the soul thoughts, actions, aims, sorrows, joys and inspirations of the Negro folk. The choral work shown in the rendition of "Sons of Freedom," "Ethiopia," "Listen to the Lambs," "Deep River," "Everytime I Feel the Spirit," "Go Long Mule, Go Long" was of the classiest nature, the bass and tenor sections shining out gloriously. To say that Mr. Morgan Jackson played his violin selection, taken from Coleridge-Taylor's masterpieces, excellent is but half expressing the thought. His association with other authors has given him a keen perception in feeling and expression so easily noticed while playing Coleridge-Taylor's music. Miss Frankie Buchanan is a lyric soprano the public always delights to hear and especially was she good in Dunbar's "Who Knows" and Harford's "I Hear You Calling Me." She was warmly applauded at her renditions. Mrs. Mae Hinkle, with her sweet smile, one of Denver's brightest gems, a Denver girl of no mean ability, charmed the audience with her reading of "Farewell, We're Good and Gone." Such pieces only bring out the dormant ability and reserved ambition which needs both encouragement and culture. She was fine. While Miss Mabel Cole did well in singing and interpreting Rosamond Johnson's "Since You Went Away," yet she has upon other occasions acquitted herself with much better satisfaction herself with audience and audience. She sang "Just You" well. Jeanette Rollins, the pleasing reader, gave the oration by Wendell Phillips, "Toussaint L'Overture," which makes every true race person swell with pride. She did nobly and the audience showed its approval by its great applause. Too much credit cannot be given Rev. J. Thomas Hazell as director and originator of such an uplifting, unique and entertaining musical activity. It is indeed a complete innovation. Some time later, perhaps in the fall, certain parts of Hiawatha will be produced by his augmented community chorus. It has been suggested that another rendition of this same program be given at a much reduced rate so that children and others of moderate means may attend. We trust that arrangements can be made. Dr. J. H. P. Westbrook presided in his usual pleasant way, while Mr. V. Spratlin presided at the piano as accompanist. One is always pleased to see Mr. Spratlin perform. The community has been helped, the Presbyterian church honored and the participants benefited --- $2.00 1.00 .50 in rate, all subscriptions must be paid as sent to subscribers are lost or stolen. or when due, inform us by postal card date of the missing number.

DEATH OF MRS. R. M. PERRIN. Prominent Educator and Religious Worker Had Successful Career Worker Had Successful Career. Mrs. Orphelia Thompson - Perrin, whose death occurred in New York on Wednesday, Feb. 28, was a woman of sterling character and Christian influence. The deceased was born at Columbia, S. C., where she received her early education in the public schools of her native home. After her graduation from the Howard graded school she entered Benedict college, at which she completed the college preparatory course with credit. Shortly after Mrs. Perrin's graduation from Benedict college she was ap- (2) MRS. R. M. PERRIN. pointed a teacher in the Howard graded school, which position she held for several years. She resigned her position at the time of her marriage to Mr. R. M. Perrin, who at that time was a clerk in the customs service at Tampa, Fla. The Rev. Mr. Perrin is now the pastor of the A. M. E. church at Elmira, N. Y. As teacher Mrs. Perrin had a most successful career. After leaving South Carolina Mrs. Perrin taught for a time in the public schools of Oklahoma and afterward at Pine Bluff, Ark. On account of ill health Mrs. Perrin resigned her position as teacher at Pine Bluff and came to New York, hoping that the change would improve her condition, but she steadily grew worse. In connection with her duties as a schoolteacher Mrs. Perrin was the president of the Parent Teachers' association, an active worker in the Allen Christian Endeavor league of the A.M. E. church and also an earnest worker in the various organizations of her church. The deceased was tenderly cared for in her last illness by her two sisters, Miss A. L. Waytes, the well known evangelist, and Mrs. C. E. Woodard. She is survived by a husband, mother, two sisters and a host of friends. DEAN OF TRAINING SCHOOL Professor C. G. O'Kelly Accepts Position at Thrifty Durham Institution. The National Training school, Durham, N. C., of which Dr. James E. Shepard is the well known president, is always on the alert for the best material in both equipment and instruction. This is one of the marked features of President Shepard's administration and the one which has enabled the president to bring the work up to a high standard of efficiency. The fine spirit exhibited by the management has had a salutary effect upon the people of both races in Durham, the immediate community and the state. Dr. Shepard has been extremely fortunate in securing the services of Professor C. G. O'Kelly, who has resigned the presidency of Kittrell college to become dean of the National Training school. Professor O'Kelly is an educator of wide experience and knows the needs of ambitious, struggling students of limited means and has in his work in the past always sought to encourage them in every way as they made known to him their difficulties or aspirations. Dean O'Kelly, as he will be addressed in the future, was also president for some time of the Slater Normal school at Winston-Salem, N. C. He has held other positions of trust and responsibility in business and civic movements. A bright future for Professor O'Kelly in his new position is predicted. Education Commission Meets March 28. The commission appointed by the conference on education held from Nov. 21 to 24, 1916, inclusive, at the National Training school, Durham, N.C., will hold a meeting in New York on Wednesday, March 28. Dr. W. E Burghardt Du Bois, noted scholar, sociologist and editor of the Crisis, is chairman of the commission. Golden Jubilee of Virginia's Baptists. The Virginia Baptist state convention will hold its annual meeting at the Virginia seminary and college. Lynchburg, Va., beginning about July 10. It will be the fifteenth anniversary of the organization of the convention, and great preparations are being made for the proper celebration of the event. PROGRESS AMONG BAPTISTS. Holy Trinity Church Tenders Dr. C. D. Patterson a Hearty Donation. By N. BARNETT DODSON. Brooklyn—The induction into the pastorate of the Holy Trinity Baptist church of the Rev. Charles David Patterson, D. D., in September, 1016, marked the beginning of a new chapter in the history of the Baptist denomination among our people in this city, following a long established custom of the church, and in early appreciation of the effective work of Dr. Patterson during the first six months of his administration the officials and members gave the pastor a hearty donation festival in February. Every auxiliary of the church took an active part in making the function a brilliant success. The literary program was conducted by the Rev. Kimball L. Warren, pastor of the Bethany Baptist church. From the expressions of the representatives of the various features of church work it could be seen that Dr. Patterson has gradually grown into the affections of his parishioners and that his leadership is recognized by the officials and members. The pastor received telegrams and letters of congratulation from several influential sources and also a telegram from his predecessor, the Rev. S. W. Timms, who is now the pastor of the Cool Spring Baptist church, at Franklin, Va. Dr. Patterson's record as a preacher, pastor and leader attracted public attention several years ago and especially while in charge of the Tabernacle Cosmopolitan Baptist church at Pittsburgh, which charge he resigned against the wishes of the members to accept the call of the above named church. When Dr. Patterson took charge of the Holy Trinity Baptist church he found the congregation quite well united, but almost discouraged for want of a good leader. The contributions had fallen off to such an extent as to cause alarm among the earnest and faithful members. The same situation was seen in the attendance at the weekly and Sunday services, but this situation soon changed, and a marked increase in each case was soon noticed. The membership and finances of the church have increased more than 30 per cent the past few months, and a program of real constructive religious work has been inaugurated. The cash donation to Dr. Patterson on the evening the donation was held amounted to $100. More has been added to this amount since by members and friends. One of the most interesting features of the function was the presentation of a handsome cut glass vase to Mrs. C. D. Patterson by the Ministers' Wives' association of this city.

John Skelton Williams, comptroller of the currency at Washington, has recently been promoted to a $1,200 clerkship by that official. This is regarded as a highly fitting recognition of his faithful and efficient services. Mr. Braxton was appointed in the government service June 1, 1892, from Virginia, in the office of the United States commissioner of railroads, department of the interior. During the last administration of President Cleveland he served General Wade Hampton of South Carolina. General Hampton was succeeded as commissioner of railroads by General James Longstreet of Georgia. Mr. Braxton remained with General Longstreet for two years, when he was transferred to the office of the secretary of the treasury. Since his connection with the treasury he has served through the terms of the following assistant secretaries: Horace A. Taylor, Wisconsin; John H. Edwards, Ohio; L. A. Coolidge, Massachusetts; Charles B. Norton, Illinois; Robert O. Bailey, Illinois, and John Skeleton Williams of Virginia. When Mr. Williams was appointed comptroller of the currency he requested the detail of Mr. Braxton to his office until September, 1916, when the detail was discontinued, and Mr. Braxton was transferred and appointed to a $1,000 clerkship in the comptroller's office. A few days ago announcement was made that this salary had been increased to $1,200. Mr. Braxton is thrifty and has accumulated a snug amount of this world's goods through strict attention to business, practicing rigid economy and watching out for opportunities for advancement. Comptroller Williams and all of his official associates speak in the highest terms of Mr. Braxton. Indiana Baptists Plan Celebration. The executive boards of the various departments of the Indiana Baptist State Sunday school convention held a meeting recently in the South Calvary Baptist church, Indianapolis, to make arrangements for the celebration of the fifteenth anniversary of the founding of that organization.

The annual Thanksgiving sermon of the Knights of Pythias of this city, consisting of Damon lodge No. 5, Pythes No. 11 and Smith lodge No. 15, and Columbine, Rocky Mountain and Progress Courts, together with Uniform Rank Aetna No. 1, made a deep and everlasting impression upon the mind of the public. The royal regalia of the Aetna company, as they marched thru the streets, especially during these stirring war scenes, kindled inspiration, confidence, patriotism and swelling pride in our bosoms it seemed that the Queen City band played as never before and now it can be truly said, that no annual sermon is complete without a band concert. We felt surely proud of our boys' wonderful improvement. As usual and as is always expected, the Courts of Calanthe looked fine, right up to the standard, with many new additions since last year. We were particularly attracted to the handsome banner of Smith Lodge No. 15, the new lodge set up Nov. 25, 1916, with 22 members, who have grown to a membership of 42. This lodge is in a flourishing condition, it having been set up by Floyd T. Smith, who had joined Damon Lodge No. 5 Dec. 15, 1915, and who was elected the keeper of records and seals of that order until 1916. He was elected as delegate to the Grand Session in Colorado Springs and was appointed assistant grand keeper of records and seals during the session last September. Having been granted a special deputy commission to set up Smith lodge, by Grand Chancellor Bess of Colorado, the rapid rise in his order and the splendid progress made by Smith lodge is the result. The personnel of the line was well balanced rear including Commanding Chancellors Harry Jones, Dr T. E. McClain by the grand officers following in the and Floyd T. Smith, with the grand chancellor, Dr J. H. P. Westbrook, as honorary escort. The Knights made the best appearance Sunday than any yet for years past, and clothed themselves in honor.

Phone Main 1702 Impartiality Shown a Colored Man In a Murder Case. STRIKING CHARGE TO JURY Why the Race Sheuld Support Judge Edward J. Jeffries, Who Presided at the Trial of Levi Pruitt, Accused of Murdering a White Man—Attorney Warren's Plucky Fight. In the midst of great unrest among the colored people in most all sections of the country for various reasons it is encouraging to note that in many of the courts of justice fair decisions are being rendered in cases where the life or liberty of colored persons are involved. Perhaps the most recent instance of such fairness on the part of the court was shown by Presiding Judge Edward J. Jeffries at Detroit in his charge to the jury in the case of the people against Levi Pruitt, a colored man who was on trial, accused of the murder of Charles Nielands, a white man. Francis H. Warren, the well known attorney for the Detroit branch of the National Association For the Advance- JUDGE EDWARD J. JEFFRIES. ment of Colored People, was the attorney for the defense in this case, in which he displayed a wonderful knowledge of criminal jurisprudence. When his client was convicted on the charge of manslaughter in May, 1910, Attorney Warren immediately moved for a new trial, which was granted by the trial court after many delays. Attorney Warren exerted the full force of his legal powers in behalf of his client and won out in one of the hardest fought criminal cases tried in Detroit for many years. The Detroit Free Press of March 8 makes the following comment concerning the case: "The prosecuting attorney has fought since March 28, 1916, to convict Pruitt on the charge of murder of the deceased Charles Nielands. Pruitt was convicted of manslaughter in May, 1916. His attorney, Francis H. Warren, immediately moved for a new trial, which, after many delays, caused by the prosecutor, was granted by the trial court. "When Nielands and another assaulted Pruitt and his companion he was armed with a 'pocket billy,' and, having no license to carry it, he was himself guilty of a felony under the Michigan law when he attacked Pruitt, as well as being the aggressor in the fight. It was with this 'billy' that Nielands was beating Pruitt with when the fatal shot was fired from a pistol the latter's companion had obtained from their home during the fight. Besides being armed, Nielands was a six footer and weighed 250 pounds, and the man with him was nearly as large, while Pruitt and his companion were 140 pound men. "Judge Edward J. Jeffries measured fully up to his high reputation for fairness in this case and charged the jury that the law is color blind and that they should decide the case in the light of all the facts and circumstances surrounding the killing of Nielands, and it did. It was the hardest fought criminal case in which Attorney Warren ever engaged in his long experience at the bar." Judge Jeffries' record for fairness and exactness in the interpretation of the law according to the facts in any case that comes before him is one of the most impartial to be found in a court of justice anywhere. $ \mathrm{H o}_{1} $ is indeed a man of the people, whose sole ambition is to serve humanity by protecting the rights of citizens against intrusion and oppression from whatever sources these handicaps may arise. His whole attitude in matters affecting the well being of the body politic finds expression in defending the right and denouncing the wrong in both official and private affairs. At this time when segregation ordinances are directed against the colored people to such a large extent for selfish motives and contrary to law the colored people the country over who know of Judge Jeffries' stand for the equal protection of all citizens alike without regard to race, color or prevailing condition of servitude feel that in such a man the race has one of its best friends. It is the duty of every citizen who believes in law and order, who believes in justice and equality before the law, to do his share in con tinuing in office such a capable and fair minded man as Judge Jeffries. His charge to the jury in the Levi Prutt case was as follows: Gentlemen of the Jury-The defendant here, Levl Pruitt, is charged with having on the 23d day of February, A. D. 1918, at the city of Detroit, county of Wayne, state of Michigan, feloniously, wilfully and with malice aforethought did kill and murder one Charles Nielands, contrary to the law. Every man should be defined murder and its several degrees and also the crime of manalaughter.] Continuing, he said: Now, gentlemen of the jury, you are the sole judges of the facts in this case, and it is for you to determine what weight and credit shall be given to the testimony adduced in this case. I want to make this observation, gentlemen, in this case: The administration of the law is presumed and is to be proved. Every man should be the law, and every man ought to be equal before the court and the jury. The purity of the law is not only in its proper conception of right and wrong and proving the line of demarcation between right and wrong, but lies also in its just administration. It has been said that "justice is blind." The meaning of that proverb is that justice can see nothing except justice, and I am calling your attention to these facts. Every man should be to preserve, if you can, in this case the purity unsullied of the administration of the law. We are all human, and we all more or less have prejudices, and perhaps the distinction between a learned and unlearned man is not only what he knows of the general affairs of mankind, but it is his ability to disarm himself of the prejudices that are natural in ordinary human nature. The defendant in this case is a black man, but he is a human being who is prejudiced against a white man, and he stands before the law with his burdens the same as a white man and entitled to the same uses and the same rules and the same procedure in adjudicating his rights as that of a white man. I say this because, we are all human, and we all have our prejudices and I want you, gentlemen, to place yourself in his position and then consider if this defendant were a white man instead of a black man. I think you should put yourself in the same position as the defendant, imply a man, neither black nor white. In this court, and in relation to the administration of law in this court he should be so treated. I want to talk to you about this case, not to review the testimony, but to point out to you what I consider the issue involved and to carry you along in that way with the hope of disarming you of any prejudice you may have against this defendant on account of his color. I know you are sworn in this matter to render a true and just verdict, and what I say is that you are a gentleman, but make this statement more in reference to a general reflection upon the human race, which has not arisen, perhaps, in our personal attitude to the high ideals of the law, as before stated. The defense in this case is that the defendant shot the deceased in self defense. That is a proper defense, and it is a defense which, if proved to you—and you have a right and it is your duty to carefully weigh all of the testimony—and if you believe the testimony in behalf of the defendant was in self defense, you have the right, and I say it is your duty to acquit this defendant. I charge you that it was the duty of this defendant to avoid killing or shooting the deceased if he reasonably could do so. He would be only justified in taking this life in order to save his own life or to save himself from great bodily harm. Now, gentlemen of the jury, if you believe in this case that this defendant had an opportunity to retreat without fear of his own life or without fear of great bodily harm, then you may convict him; and if you believe this situation existed beyond a reasonable doubt you should convict this defendant. I think, however, gentlemen of the jury, that I ought to say to you that if you do convict this defendant that the greatest crime you could convict him of would be manalaaughter, considered from the theory and of all the evidence adduced by the prosecution. However, if you believe this defendant's story that he was approached by the deceased in the manner which has been testified to by himself and other witnesses and that Nichlands was the aggressor and had hatred in his heart for colored men that he went out for the defendant in the manner in which it has been testified to, that he was a large man; that he was an ugly man and that he had a blackjack or weapon which under the law of this state he was prohibited from carrying as a concealed weapon, and that the assault took place as it is said it took place, in substance, and that defendant retreated as far as he had with safety himself and restrained as he could retreat to his home and that he shot this man in defense of his person or in defense of his life, then it is your duty, gentlemen of the jury, to acquit this man. Now, gentlemen, you are not to judge this defendant's actions at the time of the assault in your calm and deliberate moments; you are to place yourself in the position, as it were, of the defendant himself at the time of the trouble and ask yourselves what you would have done, or what the ordinary man would have done, considering the weakness of human nature, with the temperaments and conflicting emotions that men have, with his education and with his ability of discernment. In arriving at a conclusion as to whether the defendant in this case was justified in taking the life of Nileah, defense of his life, or his person I think, as I ought to consider the weight of the defendant. You ought to consider the weight and strength of the deceased. You ought to consider his being armed with a blackjack or the weapon which was described here. Those are all matters you ought to consider in arriving at the question as to whether this defendant was justified in the extent of his defense. While you are doing that, gentlemen, let me remind you again, while you are reviewing this case just obliterate the color of these men. Black's School of Domestic Science. Plans are being perfected by Harry S. Black to establish a school of domestic science in Philadelphia, in which to train young women in the art of plain and fancy cooking.

SOME MAY GO AND SOME MAY COME, BUT The Denver Star Goes On Forever Serving the Public With JOB PRINTING BROAD VIEW OF SOCIAL SERVICE Howard University Seeks Firm Basis For Co-operation. Fifteenth Anniversary Sociological Conference Held at Noted Institution In Washington Emphasizes Need of Education For the Masses of Both Races. Women as Pioneers in Racial Effort. Washington.-The Howard university sociological conference on "Fifty Years of Progress by the American Negro," which was held at the university in March, brought together from all parts of the country several hundred men and women who are working intelligently and in a Christian spirit to promote racial good will and national prosperity. Some of the big constructive ideas of the conference are: Christian character, intelligence, cooperation, respect for womanhood, thrift—these are the foundation stones upon which all progress is built. To the degree that individuals and groups secure these precious possessions there come national prosperity and racial good will. The sociological conference serves as an excellent and effective clearing house for the exchange of ideas and the comparison of methods which deal with vital problems such as health, education, enforcement of law and order, industrial opportunity, home making, community improvement and character building. It brings together representative leaders who are seeking the truth as a guide to the building of a constructive program of social progress, in spite of legal restrictions and discriminations. It also brings the university into helpful touch with those who are leading the masses toward the better things of life. It gives the leaders a chance to discover how much of service the university can render and stands ready to render to them if only they will make known their needs and wants. How a sociological conference can most effectively deliver its message to the public is still a serious problem. Health is an individual and a public problem. It is definitely correlated with morality. Whatever the individual will do to regulate his or her life according to the teachings of the Bible and whatever the public will do cooperatively to improve sanitary conditions, housing, water and milk supplies, will surely improve public health and will prove a blessing to the nation. Education must provide for the training of the whole mass and for every man, woman and child who needs to meet the economic and social demands of the present day. Education must be carried to the people when for any reason people do not seek education. Education provides leaders, and without leaders the people must suffer needlessly, and finally education must bring to every man and woman definite responsibility for helping disadvantaged individuals and groups, those engaged in business and otherwise. Educational institutions should give all their students the essentials of psychology, economics, sociology and modern business methods so that future leaders already trained in scientific method of study may be able to attack with intelligence their perplexing, complex, recurring problems. They should train men and women to use initiative, persistence and vision in solving problems and should lay stress upon developing independent, broad minded thinkers. Cooperation of colored men with white men and co-operation of colored women with white we men to secure welfare improvements have proved to be lines of the least friction. Throughout the country there are evidences, in spite of the proverbial newspaper reports, that racial co-operation is slowly, steadily growing. Whei men and women of economic and social standing in the community oppose unjust discriminations and present these facts bravely before those who are in authority there are many cases in which favorable action is taken. Amid the numerous disappointments which come to patient, loyal colored citizens on account of the white man's failure to understand or even consider (when he does understand) the colored man's thoughts and feelings on the common problems of life there is in the attitude of some strong southern white men who are leaders a ray of hope that in time justice will prevail and race prejudice will disappear with the advent of education for all the white people. Women are invaluable to society not only as makers of Christian homes, but also as ploneers and developing forces in all movements for the relief of poverty and pain, the improvement of the handicapped, the advancement of the ambitions and the development of all welfare enterprises. The social service work done by women throughout the nation commands the highest respect of everybody, for it is of a high order of excellence and has been done patiently, quietly and in spite of many hardships. The work of women to also all classes to a higher level of civilization has made men realize anew the great importance of teaching all classes and races that any progress is conditioned by the respect which is commonly paid to womanhood. MORE FUNDS FOR EDUCATION American Church Institute Ask Libr Aid for Our Southern Schools eral Aid For Our Southern Schools. At a special meeting held at the Church of the Messiah in Brooklyn the first week in March a movement was started to interest a larger number of northern white people in the educational institutions for colored people in the south. The Rev. Dr. St. Clair Hester, rector of the church, presided. The meeting was held in connection with the American Church Institute For Negroes, of which the Rev. David H. Greer, Protestant Episcopal bishop of New York, is president. The Rev. Frederick Burgess, D. D., Protestant Episcopal bishop of Long Island, in a brief address reviewed the work of the institute and praised the people for their interest in it. The Rev. Robert W. Patton, D. D., said that the Church instituted needed an increased income of $100,000 for a thoroughly efficient administration on the Negro schools and an endowment of $1,000,000 to insure the permanency of the work and to guard against any calamity such as war. Dr. Patton also said that there is nothing that ought to touch the hearts of the American people, who are always interested in humanity, more than the helping of the colored boys and girls of the south, who, through no fault of their own, find themselves on this continent. National Health Week to be Observed. Local business leagues, churches and secret and civic organizations in the various large cities are planning for the observance of national health week, to be observed from Sunday, April 22 to 28, inclusive. The National Negro Business league is a strong promoter of this movement, which was inaugurated by Dr. Booker T. Washington a few years prior to his death. Successful Temperance Campaign. Mrs. Eliza E. Peterson, the noted temperance worker, conducted a campaign for two weeks during the month of March in Philadelphia in the interest of temperance among the colored race. The campaign was very successful and awakened new interest in the work. Mrs. Peterson is the national superintendent of the Women's Christian Temperance union for work among the colored people of the United States. The Advantage of Pulling Together DIVISION. HO-HO! HOW?

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. STOP THAT COUGH.
