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 ★ TWENTY-SEVENTH YEAR Negro Loyalty. The willingness of some Colored orators to pledge their entire race to eager willingness to risk and give their lives for the United States of America without making or even asking any terms in the way of the abolition of injustice, and the eagerness that our fellow white Americans have to hear that Colored Americans are hot for enlistment in case of war, despite proscriptions has been illustrated in a classic manner by the speech of the brilliant but erratic orator, Roscoe Simmons and by the space and prominence given to this speech delivered to a Colored audience in Louisville, Kentucky, in the leading newspapers of the North and South. The Boston Post gave it a big headline. The Boston Post's news story reads as follows: The pride of the Negro race in their share in American history of loyal achievements to come is contained in the following extract from a remarkable speech by Roscoe Conkling Simmons, himself a Negro, before a gathering of of his own race at Louisville, Ky. recently: "We have a record to defend, but no treason, thank God to atone for 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 opportunity to serve, to fight, to bleed and to die in the republic's cause. Accuse us of what you will—justify 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 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 The Denver Star ESTABLISHED 1888 Number 182 NEGRO NAVY OFFICER RETIRE$ WITH HONORS Philadelphia, Pa.—John C. Jordan, who lives at 1226 So. Mole St., this city was retired recently from the United States Navy after thirty years service, having attained the rank of chief gunner's mate. He entered the service on June 17, 1887, at Washington, D.C. He completed the course at the Gunner School, Washington in 1883, and was the first Negro to do so. Mr. Jordan was on the Olympia, Dewey's flagship, at the battle of Manilla Bay in 1878, and later was stationed at the Navy Academy. Annapolis, at the naval station, Culebra, Porto Rico, the League Island naval station at Philadelphia, where he had charge of the rifle range at the time of his retirement. He has been awarded six medals from the government for Fidelity, Zeal and Obedience, and on his retirement received a letter from the Navy Department stating that he was a "valuable man in uplifting of the navy" and that "it regrets very much to see you retire from active life in the navy. Columbus, Ohio.— There will be 2,500 more colored voters eligible to vote in Franklin County this fall, giving the county a total of 8,500 colored voters. These 2,500 new colored voters will be largely men who have come from the South during the last year and a half. Eligible to vote this fall in Ohio will be 30,000 more colored voters than at the 1916 election. These 30,000 will swell the colored vote of Ohio to 100,000. If the present ratio of increase in the number of colored men coming North from the South continues throut next summer and fall in 1918 there will be 145,000 colored voters in Ohio. creed or politics or color. That, boys, is loyalty." We shall reserve to some occasion than a speech by Roscoe, full of consideration of the question of a "rushing to the colors" by Colored Americans for the United States without any thought of how we are treated. Suffice it to say now at when the European war started England felt it expedient to promise Home Rule for the land of Irish who were to furnish soldiers, and Russia promised to remove the political disabilities of the Jews and to remove the ghetto Colored Americans have no intention or desire to help the foreign foe. It is true, however, that all our willingness to fight for the country has not stopped an extension of segregation and an increasing loss of our rights. It is folly and worse to be precipitable about promising the race is eager to die for this country with all its injustice. Let us at least consider England's and Russia' offer for the oppressed. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, APRIL 7, 1917 With the declaration of war by United States comes enormous responsibilities upon each and every Negro citizen especially. Now is the time to show your patriotism by producing something each month till the war ends and not wait until famine strikes us. It is also a time to keep a cool and level head. Hoist your colors and stand by them Every church, lodge, hall and home in Colorado should have an American flag in it. Not because we do not hate the fiendish burnings of our own dear loved mothers, fathers and innocent children, not that we think less of their autocratic prejudiced treatment in public places of amusement, and public thorofares, but because some of your old fathers, brothers yea, even sons fought for "Old Glory" and carried her thru valleys, over mountains and plains, through fire, water and blood and finally because "Old Glory" is, as badly as we are treated, the only symbol of liberty and equality, we know Negroes this is a grave hour, a time when men's souls are being tested by fires of hate, wars, rebellion and conscription all finally to the Glory of God that all nations might have an indisputable right and enjoyment of the Tree of Life of useful and progressive citizenship. Let us, for the while forget our grievances, and applaud the sight of Old Glory, the flag of our fathers. To applaud the flag is all right, but deserving and loyal citizens should be ready and willing to serve it with something more substantial than mere applause. If the time comes when the situations need us, let us joyfully rally around the flag with every physical, mental, and material resource at our command. Every man and woman, no matter what their position in life, should be ready to do his or her part. Our fathers fought for Old Glory and left us to carry forward our precious heritage much or little and God helping, we intend to respond to the voices of our dead fathers calling for sons to do their duty in this hour of peril. The real spirit of the United States is neither crying out for peace at any price nor clamoring for war for any selfish reasons. The issue is clear, right or wrong or kings and queens or the common people. It is standing by the flag and the president and preparing as much as possible under present conditions, for any emergency that may arise. In the meantime, show your colors and stand by them after war has been declared. Keep cool, cheerful and loyal. Don't hate, lose your temper or engage in futile argument of war. Prepare now by frugal planting for the rainy days just ahead of you. Let every Negro be in a fit physical condition and be ready to do his or her part during and after the war. Now is the time to conserve all energy. THE PERPETUAL DILEMMA-THE TESTING FIRE. We Negroes ever face it. We cannot escape it. We must continually choose between insult and injury; no schools or separate schools; no travel or "Jim Crow" travel; homes with disdainful neighbors or homes in slums. We continually submit to segregated schools, "Jim Crow" cars, and isolation, because it would be suicide to go uneducated, stay at home, and live in the "tenderloin." Yet, when a new alternative of such choice fares us it comes with a shock and almost without thinking we rail at the one who advises the lesser of two evils. Thus it was with many hasty editors in the case of the training camp for Negro officers which Dr. J. E. Spingarn is seeking to establish. Does Dr. Spingarn believe in a "Jim Crow" training camp? Certainly not, and he has done all he could to induce the government to admit Negroes to all training camps. The government has so far courteously refused. But war is imminent. If war comes to-morrow Negroes will be compelled to enlist under white officers because (save in a very few cases) no Negroes have had the requisite training. We must choose then between the insult of a separate camp and the irreparable injury of strengthening the present custom of putting no black men in positions of authority. Our choice is as clear as noonday. Give us the camp. Let not 200, but 2000, volunteer. We did not make the damnable dilemma. Our enemies made that. We must make the choice else we play into their very claws. It is a case of camp or no officers. Give us the officers. Give us the camp. A word to those who object: ```markdown ``` BE PATRIOTIC. To Declare War, Means Economy and Foresight Negroes Plant Corn, Vegetables and Wheat. 1. The army does not wish this camp. It wishes the project to fail. General Wood refuses to name date or place until 200 apply. The reason is obvious. Up to March 8, sixty-nine men have applied. 2. The camp is a temporary measure lasting four weeks and designed to fight, not encourage discrimination in the army. The New York Negro regiment could not find equalified Negroes for its commissions. We want trained colored officers. This camp will help furnish them. 3. The South does not want the Negro to receive military training of any sort. For that reason the general staff reduced its estimate from 900,000 to 560,000 soldiers—they expect to EXCLUDE Negroes! 4. If war comes, conscription will follow. All pretty talk about not volunteering will become entirely academic. This is the mistake made by the Baltimore Afro-American, the Chicago Defender, the New York News and the Cleveland Gazette. They assume a choice between volunteering and not volunteering. The choice will be between conscription and rebellion. Can the reader conceive of the possibility of choice? The W. E. B. DuBois. leaders of the colored race who advise them to add treas on and rebellion to the other grondns on which the South urges discrimination against them would hardly be doing a service to those whom they profess to love. No, there is only one thing to do now, and that is to organize the colored people for leadership and service, if war should come. A thousand commissioned officers of colored blood is something to work for. Give us the camp! —THE CRISIS. The Illinois House of Representarives has passed a bill prohibiting the showing in the state of motion pictures showing lynchings or which tend to excite race prejudice. It was introduced by a colored representative, Robert R. Jackson of Chicago. It would prohibit the showing of such pictures as "The Birth of a Nation." State Historical & Civil Arts History Society FIVE CENTS A COPY. MANHOOD. Life's best prizes are won, not by skill or strength, but by that grandest thing known on earth—manhood. Honorable, educated, active, cultivated manhood is to rule this world. Always there have been bad men, corrupted, degraded, but sharp and cunning, who have made great gains by great frauds, or crafty swindling, and have held some sort of position in the world in spite of their want of character, for there are parasites and money worshippers who honor and applaud the man of money without caring to know how he came by his pos sessions. But These are the Exceptions The true man is the thing most prized by the great world. True manhood is the wisest, sharpest, strongest, most clear-sighted, far-sighted contestant in the battlefield of life. Manhood carries the sharpest sword, gains the truest success and wears the brightest crown. No one is, or can be, the best preacher, the best lawyer, the best physician, or the best business man, who is not truly, grandly, glorously and unselfishly a man. If you would climb to the highest places, carry off the richest prizes, get the most en joyment out of life and have the sublimest of old age, you must conquer the base elements of nature, you must have every atom of the dross of dishonesty squeezed, hammered, burned out, if necessary. You must become as sound as 24 karat gold, as true as best steel. You must prove yourself as reliable as the course of nature, as incorruptible as sunlight, as pure and sweet in your personality as the breezes of heaven. You scorn all meanness, loathe all false pretenses, be afraid of every kind of dis honesty and hate a lie as you would hate the devil himself. You must determine stoutly to be what you would appear. There is a premium on men like that. The great world, disgusted with frauds and pre tenders and shams of all kinds will know such a man as soon as he appears. It will prize him, honor him, reward him, make him famous and render him immortal.—Philadelphia Record. We are pleased to note that China is taking advantage of national right in joining in the fight of the democracy against aristocracy or taking up army in behalf of the people against kings and queens. America cannot at the end of the war escape giving some concessions to these brave and patriotic Chinese, as well as Japanese. A man is a man after all, for a' that. America is embracing (Danish) or American West Indies, Cuba, Haiti and Porto Rico, all countries whose majority of inhabitants are Negroes or Negroid, and someday, somebody will rise up and advocate full manhood rights for all mankinds everywhere. Church News THE ZION BAPTIST CHURCH, 24th Avenue and Ogden. David E. Over, D. D., Minister. Telephones, York 6007, York 9377. The Soul-Winning Campaign closed Sunday night, These meetings were among the most remarkable in the history of Zion Church, The interest, the personal activity of a large num- ber of workers, the response of the community in attendance, the spiritual awakening, the depth of prayer power have never been before experienced by many. As a result the church is alive and thirsting for other souls. It was truly a blessed experience, sixty- nine of whom united with Zion church, while about twenty others came into the church by experience or letter. The work of the personal workers’ teams was an inspiration and served in large theasure to reach the heart of the unsaved community in a most unusual fashion. So deep and thoro has been the awakening of the church forces that several meetings will be held for prayer and conference that wisdom to rightly conserve the pre- cious results and meet the gracious opportunity before us might be given. The personal workers’ teams will be made permanent and Sunday and Wednesday nights will be given to special evangelistic effort. It is hoped that every member will be present at the Fellowship and Com- munion service to be held Sunday night next. Sunday morning and ai- ternoon we hope to get all the candi- dates baptized. There will be a spe- cial service for the Sunday School at 10 o'clock; the women will be bap- tized after 11 o'clock service and the men in a special meeting at 3 o'clock. We look for a great day. ‘Thursday night the membership will give a Fel- lowship Supper to the new members. Let every member be present. CENTRAL BAPTIST CHURCH NOTES Phone Champa 1059 Rev. P. J.

As election time approaches people become nervous and some newspapers make all kinds of claims, but the most significant and preposterous "joke" is the top-liner of the "Colorado Statesman," "the most reliable Negro paper in Colorado." When we reflect and see how shamefully this journal neglected to speak out against the anti-miscegenation bill, and the anti-tipping bill and also notice how strongly this same paper fought for the election of Harris, whom they knew was to introduce a measure which would strike at the vital living of two-thirds of the Negroes of this state; when we recall how they swallowed Carlson, who neglected our women and supported the Negroes' arch enemy, Niset, whom this paper also fought; when you will remember how the Star was the only paper to fight the "Birth of a Nation" with Niset and in fact the history and policy of that paper has been and is to offend no person who attempts or disgraces the Negro, because, forsooth, a few dollars can be secured by keeping still or white-washing the enemy's wrong. "Most reliable Negro paper in Colorado" to assassinate Negroes for selfish ends. When the New York Branch of the N. A. A. C. P. sent a circular letter to Sen. Eaton on his inter-marriage bill and requested the Denver papers to publish the same, did this only reliable Negro paper publish this N. A. A. C. P. protest against this bad republican? No! It fell the lot of the old Star to make the fight and make an enemy out of Sen. Eaton. After calling attention to these facts, together with the approach of the school board election and city campaign, we close with a quoting of part of his editorial of June 25, 1915, speaking of the Star's fight on the "Jim Crowism" by the City officials attempted to give the Star the following advice in these words: Remember the policy of the "Colorado Statesman," for its many years of existence is the only means that keeps it alive and we strongly advise adherence to the old adage, "Leave the nettle alone it will not hurt you, touch it, you must bear the consequences." Can you see a bid to sell the Negro out by again organizing Lime-Kiln Clubs, and then selling and voting the clubs in the fastly approaching campaign? Citizens of Denver, beware of the treachery masked under "the most reliable Negro paper in Colorado," when you know its history. EUGENE NIEL APPOINTED IN IN SURANCE DEPT. BY COMMISSIONER FAIRCHILDS.

A. Burton. The fountain is to be dedicated to the memory of his wife, the late Clara Burton, who was one of Denver's foremost charity workers. A. B. Mr. Burton is prominent in church and fraternal circles and is a worthy citizen. The Star proudly announces this fact to show that true philanthropic spirit pervading this community.

May God bless both of them as well as the home which received the gift. Every glance at that living memorial will bespeak the spirit of "Clara." It has been said that the Club Home Association lacks about ten names to complete their list of 100 persons who will give a dollar a month to help support this charitable work. DEATHS.

COUNTRY LIFE STRUGGLES Good Report of Educational and Social Progress Made Among the Colored People at Statesboro, Ga.—Principal James' Ability as an Organizer. Teaches Doctrine of Self Help. Statesboro, Ga.—Among the men who are giving their lives for the development of the youth of the race in this state is Professor William James, principal of the Statesboro High and Industrial school in this town. He is taking his place among the successful educators who are doing things worth while. Like many of the educators and men who are making good in this country, Professor James was born in the country, back in Washington county, Ga., near Bartow, nearly forty-four years ago. He was a mere youth just at the time there was a thirst for education among the young people of the race in the south and has made good use of his opportunities. His early education was secured A. B. PROFESSOR WILLIAM JAMES. back in the country in the place of his birth. It was soon discovered that he had an unusually bright mind, and his first teacher, Professor D. J. Lawrence, predicted that he would become a great man, and while Professor Lawrence did not live to see any of the great work of his former pupil, Professor James has been able to carry out all that was predicted of him and even more. Finishing the public school course, he entered the Atlanta Baptist seminary, which is now the Morehouse college. He realized that in order to get an education he would have to work hard. He did not depend upon his mother, but worked his own way through the seminary within three years. He afterward returned home and went to work on his father's farm. He decided that farming was not his calling, but put in some time for the experience it afforded and in order to show to his father that he fully appreciated what he had done for him while in school. Professor James decided to make teaching his profession. His first work in the schoolroom was in the county of his birth. He received a cordial welcome back to his native county to take charge of the public school, where he made a good record as a teacher. Between ten and twelve years were spent in Washington and Johnson counties. His experience counted much, and when he was called upon to come to Statesboro he was ripe for the work. There were several small schools here, and this master mind was able to unite them all into one. Statesboro is doing an effective work among our people. When Professor James took charge of the school the race did not own one dollar's worth of property in Statesboro, and he declared that they should own something and not sit down spending their time in complaints and wallings, for this would never accomplish anything. He told them to follow him, and they had confidence in him, and told him to lead and they would follow, and now they have accumulated within the past eight years about $10,000 worth of property. The members of the race had learned the doctrine of self help through the teaching of this young man, and they put down not only money for the school, but many of them were inspired to buy homes. When the white people noted what they were doing they came in also with their help. The people of Statesboro helped and then some money was collected from northern friends by Professor James. In his visits north he made some good substantial friends whose contributions he receives for the school annually. It was about eighteen years ago that he won the hand and heart of Miss Julia Worthen of Georgia, who was a well trained woman. She was a teacher in the public schools and now she is side by side with her husband in his work. They have six children. If there was ever a work that deserves the confidence and support of the people, it is the Statesboro High and Industrial school in this town. BOULDER NOTES.

Full Equipment For Fifteenth New York Regiment Favorably Reported York Regiment Favorably Reported. Arrangements are being made to muster the Fifteenth infantry, New York, into the United States national guard. The Fifteenth is the only regiment of colored men in the national guard of New York state. This regiment was accepted by the state some time ago, but as a unit of the national guard of the United States was held back on account of a lack of sufficient appropriations to cover its expenses. It was stated on good authority on March 24 that favorable action had been taken on the second application for an appropriation for the Fifteenth regiment and that the funds for its full equipment would be available by about March 31. This regiment has been put through a thorough preliminary inspection by Colonel William Hayward and Lieutenant Colonel Lorillard Spencer. The Fifteenth is composed of 900 able-bodied men. The work of inoculating the men against typhoid fever will be done by Dr. Bolling Lee, major surgeon of the regiment, and a large number of assistants. Erects Monument Over Nurses' Grave. John C. Phillips, a white man, at Monroe. Ga., has had a monument erected over the grave of Mariah Phillips, his nurse when a babe.

LESSONS FROM THE GREEKS Senior Class Member at Virginia's Great Agricultural and Industrial School Is Well Informed on Principles of Democracy—Indian Citizenship Day Exercises. The Dawes bill for the Indian and the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments for the Negro opened to these two races the doors of American citizenship. Both Indian and African in early days of this country, suffered grievously the hand of the dominant white man—Negroes as slaves; Indians, though not as slaves, yet as victim of a bitter oppression that promised naught but abasement. Finally liberty came to Negro and to Indian, and we properly rejoice together that such a wondrous boon should have come. With these significant words Maurice Ethan Thomasson of Monticello, Ark, a senior at the Hampton (Va.) institute, opened his stirring address at the thirtieth annual Indian citizenship day exercises recently held in the presence of over 1,500 colored people. He in part said: Having now our citizenship, we are resolved to make the most of it. Let us consider briefly one of the great peoples of the past and from its story draw some lessons that may help us to be more efficient citizens. The ancient Greeks, whom we all know and love, are regarded as one of the most successful races of all time. The one characteristic of this people that most forcibly strikes us is the high standard of intelligence of its individual citizen. For every man was given a role of the government and was aim of the race that every man alike should be able to hear understandingly and to judge wisely in all affairs of the state. In this aim they succeeded wonderfully, and it was to this extraordinary intelligence of the masses that the eminent achievements of the Greeks were largely due. Education Is the Surest Foundation. We believe that one great need—aye, the fundamental need—of the Indian and Negro peoples is a higher intelligence among the common people. While education is not of itself a universal solvent it is the surest foundation upon which depends the efficacy of all other agencies. The value of education in fitting for efficient citizenship is not generally appreciated among the masses, but the highest intelligence in the masses should have proved so necessary and so fruitful in the free, unhamped Greeks, how surely must we, but yesterday given a man's chance, make the enlightenment of the masses the prime aim for which to strive. Another striking characteristic of the Greeks was their pride in their race. To be a Greek was to be a kinsman of the gods. They had a wondrous confidence in themselves, a confidence that they could accomplish any end toward which they wanted to go, and a confidence they were fired on to better things. Their attainments in art, science and military achievements were possible only because they believed in themselves. Vigorous Plea For More Confidence. And so must we work in confidence. Our citizenship was granted us but yesterday. Men await with scuffles or with praise the failure or success that we display. We have done great things. The Negro's rise in fifty years of citizenship has been marvelous. Then, too there is a tribute that of the heroic but losing fight of the American Indian against an overwhelming foe that sought to make him a subject race. Let the memory of our past accomplishments inspire us with confidence that we can accomplish even greater things in the future. Let the anarchist Greek be reproduced today in the irides and confidence of Negro in Negro and of Indian in Indian. Perhaps the greatest lesson of the Greeks for the Indian and Negro races, however, is their failure to preserve national integrity. Gifted and brilliant as they were in things artistic, skilled as they were in statecraft and valliant as they were in war, they never learned the value of working in unity. Unreasonable jealousies marked their every action. Hence, weakened in external strife, it was inevitable that Greece should fall—a victim of her own dissensions. Urges Citizenship For the Masses. Our races, it is true, are not seeking eminence as nations, as was the Greek race, but to develop in our masses a citizenship that will contribute worthily to the welfare of our common country. In realizing this aim we face tremendous difficulties that will require over a century of the united energies of all our people. Personal jealousies and ambitions and petty tribal rivalries must have no place in our endeavors for betterment. Only as we work in the strength of unity can we make of our communities and reservations the ideal exemplars of citizenship that we would have them be. So we bid you godspeed, fellow students, in the lives that are before you. May you consider your citizenship not merely a privilege nor even a right, but an opportunity to make a difference in making of America the land of which the Pilgrim fathers dreamed, for which the patriots of '76 and '81 so valiantly fought and died. May you show to the world that the Indian, considered backward, is just as capable of efficient citizenship as any race. And the Negro, your brother in oppression, will tend a like path.

TWO GOVERNORS TAKE FIRM STAND AGAINST LYNCHING Kentucky and South Carolina Executives Endeavor to Enforce Law. The recent stand taken against lynching by the governors of two southern states is highly commended not only by the millions of colored people throughout the country, but by well meaning and fair minded white people as well. Governor Manning of South Carolina is exerting his influence and the powers of his high office to have the laws of the state enforced and respected. His utterances against mob violence, especially in the case of Crawford, who was lynched at Abbeville, S. C., Oct. 21, 1916 attracted national attention. Governor Stanley of Kentucky showed his determination to uphold the law by leaving the state capital recently to visit the scene of an attempted lynching at one of the towns in the state where a mob had gathered to lynch a colored man accused of murder. This same mob had threatened to lynch the county judge and the commonwealth attorney. The plucky governor went into the courthouse where the prisoner had been taken for trial and where a crowd had gathered bent on lynching the accused, and delivered a speech in defense of law and order. After listening to the governor's address the would be lynchers dispersed. Such action on the part of Governor Stanley shows manhood of the highest qualities. If the governors of other states where mob violence is rampant would exercise and carry out their sworn duty to uphold the law it would not be long before the lynching of human belongs would be a thing of the past in the United States. The law is stronger than the mob. It only needs to be enforced to show its superiority. All honor and praise to Governors Manning and Stanley. TUSKEGEE'S GREAT WORK. Labor Problem and Trained Loaders Discussed by Dr. R. R. Moton. While the presence of 10,000,000 of Negroes in the United States may have added something to the annoyance of their white brethren, they have never theless added considerably to the economic development of the country, especially in the south. The southern white man understands and appreciates this. It is being brought especially home now both to the north and the south because of the great demand for labor and the migration of thousands of our people to the north. The character and extent of this exodus of colored people to the north and the direct relation of the Tuskegee institute to this whole movement were discussed at a public meeting Sunday night. March 18, in the Fourth Congregational church, Hartford, Conn., by Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee institute. The Rev. Dr James J. Dunlop, the pastor, presided and introduced Dr. Moton. The Tuskegee quartet sang several southern melodies. Dr. Moton says that he regards the work of such schools as Hampton, in Virginia, and Tuskegee, in Alabama as the key to the problem of supplying the north and the south with trained workers. Tuskegee institute with its 1,700 students, its 133 teachers, its 107 buildings, giving training in forty-two different trades and farming pursuits and its spirit of service not only to the colored race, but to the white race as well, is a distinct asset to the south and the nation. Its work of training industrial workers and Christian leaders can hardly be overestimated, especially at this time when the country is facing serious labor problems both in the south and in the north. Dr. Moton also spoke the same evening at the Shiloh Baptist church, of which the Rev. Dr W. B. Reed is pastor. Dr. Reed presided at the meeting held in his church, and the speaker was introduced by the Rev. C. L. Fisher, pastor of the Union Baptist church. The meeting was well attended and also very enthusiastic. Washington to Hear "Hiawatha" Sung. The work of the chorus preparing to present G. Coleridge-Taylor's "Hiawatha" in the near future is to go on notwithstanding a number of obstacles which it has encountered since its inception. It is expected that at least 100 voices will engage in the chorus, and they are being recruited from every musical organization in Washington. The proceeds from the entertainment will be devoted to a memorial in honor of the late Professor John T. Layton, for many years director of music in the public schools. Dr. G. Sumner Wormley is the official head of the movement, and Miss Virginia Williams is secretary. The chorus will be directed by Miss Josephine Wormley. Professor Layton's successor in the Washington schools. 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. Fashion Show at Pittsburgh. Scheduled among the interesting social functions at Pittsburgh for Friday evening, March 30, is a fashion show to be held at the McKelvey school auditorium.

Washington's memory has been honored was the contribution of the colored children of the various schools on April 5, 1916, to the Booker T. Washington memorial fund. When called upon the children responded with nickels and dimes, and in some instances where they were unable to bring money they brought butter and eggs, which their teachers converted into cash and forwarded to Tuskegee institute. Such a popular demonstration of love and loyalty has not been exhibited since the campaign was launched, and it has been suggested that the schools be again invited to contribute to the memorial fund and also to conduct suitable memorial exercises. Founder's day exercises are held at Tuskegee institute on this date, and we invite teachers in all the schools to hold similar exercises in their schools on this anniversary of Dr. Washington's birthday. The collection will afford those children who were unable STATE OF COLORADO, City and County of Denver, ss. NO. 54470. IN THE COUNTY COURT. LENA CORBIN, Plaintiff, vs. RICHARD C. CORBIN, Defendant.

One of the most attractive affairs of the season was the beautifully arranged eight course luncheon in honor of Mrs. W. B. Townsend, over which Mrs. Lulu Pollard Elliott presided at her palatial home on West 17th street. The specious dining room was darkene duntil luncheon was announced, when the curtains were drawn and the guests were told to find their places. The place cards were chicks and rabbits, appropos of Easter. A huge banquet of red and white carnations formed a unique centerpiece. The color scheme of red and white was carried out in every detail. Besides the honored guest, covers were laid for Mesdames J. P. Watson, C. Thompson, H. Wilson, Ruth Eaton, L. Malordy, S. Johnson, I. Payne, H. Fife and the hostess. The guests were loud in their praise of Mrs. Elliott as an ideal entertainer. SOCIETY NOTES. Mrs. Thomas Tisdale entertained a number of her young friends last Wednesday afternoon at her cozy home on East Orman avenue, at a thimble tea, as a compliment to Mrs. Jessie Douglas, who left Saturday for Denver to reside permanently. The decorations formed a most agreeable color scheme of green and white appropos of St. Patrick's Day. Dainty needlework was engaged in during the afternoon. An unique feature was the contest of words and the prize was won by Miss Fanstina Bush. Victrola selections were enjoyed during the afternoon. Those enjoying the happy hours were Mrs. Jesse Douglas, Ruth Majors, Lily Hayes, Irene Marshall, Celetha Gamble, Willie Bryant, Vjian Norman, Lulu Elliott, Lily King, Irene Johnson, Anna Phillips, Ruth Eaton, Jessie Moore and Addie Ray: Misses Sallie Elbeck, Swan George, Gertrude Murrell, Fannie Wesley, Emma Davis, Mary Williams, Willie McConnell, Faustina Bush and Miss Cooper. Mr. and Mrs. S. A. Phillips entertained at an elaborate dinner Monday evening. Covers were laid for Presiding Elder Rev. R. L. Pope, Rev. and Mrs. J. W. Henry, Rev. and Mrs. John Adams and Rev. and Mrs. J. P. Watson. to contribute last April to do their part in helping to perpetuate the work which was founded here at Tuskegee institute for the industrial advancement of the Negro race. A certificate which may be framed showing Dr. Washington's picture, a picture of the house in which he was born, and Tuskegee's most important building, will be sent to each individual and school sending $5 or more. Local memorial fund committees are also invited to conduct appropriate exercises on April 5. Such an occasion would be an opportune time to direct the attention of the various communities to the work and purposes of the local memorial fund committees. Raising Funds For Alabama Sufferers. The Social Workers' club of Greater New York is taking a leading part in raising funds with which to aid the large number of needy colored people in Lowndes county, Ala. The appeal in behalf of these sufferers was made by the New York Evening Post. Contributions to the fund may be sent to the office of the above named paper, by which prompt acknowledgment will be made. SOME MAY GO AND SOME MAY COME, BUT The Denver Star Goes On Forever Serving the Public With JOB PRINTING ERNEST T. ATWELL. Native of New York, Who Occupies a Position of Much Responsibility and Great Importance at the Tuskegee (Ala.) Institute, Gives His Mother Credit For His Success In Life. PETER H. HARRIS Tuskegee Institute, Ala.—Among the great company of energetic officials, teachers and assistants in various capacities at the Tuskegee institute Ernest T. Atwell occupies a unique place. He is the purchasing agent for the school, and in this capacity he comes in contact with many of the foremost business men of both races throughout the country. In an address at the session of the National Negro Business league held at Kansas City, Mo., in August, 1916, Mr. Atwell stated that his purchases and sales for the Tuskegee institute amounted to more than $700,000 annually. There is perhaps no other member of the race and but few of any other race in the nation who purchases such large quantities of supplies and in such variety as to character and kind. Mr. Atwell's purchases cover the requirements for over nineteen mechanical industries—farms, cremery and agricultural activities, domestic science, sewing, millinery and girls' industries, a hospital and a large general store doing $100,000 worth of business annually. In addition to these activities, he is responsible for the daily feeding of 1,500 persons enrolled as students and employees at the Tuskegee institute. The rise and success of this young man make an interesting story, and his life should be an inspiration to others of his race. Graduating from school, his first employment was with the late Collins P. Huntington. This followed his graduation from the public schools of New York. While thus employed he took a course in shorthand at the Y. M. C. A. at night. All of this was preparing him for his present position. After the death of Mr. Huntington, Mr. Atwell having served eight years in the employ of the Southern Pacific company, he responded to a call from Tuskegee to accept a position as stenographer to the business agent. While he was stenographer he studied the business, and when death claimed the business agent the position was given to the stenographer, because he had prepared himself and had proved his ability to fill the position. His over sixteen years of continuous service at Tuskegee—working in close daily touch with the late Booker T. Washington during his active life, Secretary Emmett J. Scott and Dr. Robert R. Moton—have made him a well posted man, not alone in commercial and merchandising matters, but on public questions affecting the race. He is also the president of the Alabama State Negro Business league. Mr. Atwell is a native of New York, which he has a host of friends. city, in which he served as rector of St. Philips P. E. church; his mother is now living at Tuskegee, where she enjoys the association of her son, whose aim is to make his mother happy. His standing in the south among his own people and others is admirable. For his success in life he gives his mother who is a woman of unusual educational and social qualifications, credit. INDORSES TRAINING CAMP. Lieutenant Colonel Charles Young Urges Loyalty to Country's Flag. Orgue Loyalty to Country's Flag. Lieutenant Colonel Charles Young, in command of the Tenth United States cavalry, has sent the following letter to Dr. J. E. Spingarn, at New York, to which is attached a copy of a letter which Colonel Young recently sent to the Hon. Harry C. Smith, the veteran editor of the Cleveland (O.) Gazette. Colonel Young's letter to Dr. Spingarn reads: My Dear Mr. Spingarn—I have the honor to inclose a copy of a letter to my friend, Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of the Cleveland Gazette, which I hope will show you that many of us are heartily in accord with your scheme for a colored officers' training Camp. With heartfelt esteem, always yours, CHARLES YOUNG. Fort Huachuca, Arliz, March 23, 1917. My Dear Harry Smith—I want first to thank you for the copies of the Gazette. The thing that struck me most in your issue of March 10 was the controversy over Dr. Spingarn's plan for training colored officers for colored regiments in event of war. May I say I think you both are right? You are always contending for absolute right, absolute justice, absolute and unqualified equality of opportunity. These things in this matter of fact old world are ideals, limits to be striven for. From the editors' viewpoint I can see how you must stand by your guns; but, my dear friend, I have learned that no one in this world has all he wants, not even the president of the United States (to whom may God give good guidance in this hour of our country's peril), let alone the poor and lonely ones of workaday. We must actualize justice at times stoop to conquer a cringing at will upon a star. I admit that a whole loan is better than a half, but the half beats none at all. Then we Negroes must have a part—glorious one—in the destiny of this country—our country—the one where our fathers wrought mightily in spite of handicaps the most stupendous, the one whose soil is red with their blood freely spilled american liberties and freedom in every war. Shall we now in the face of the danger that seems looming largely before us play the baby act and refuse to our country a citizen's bounden duty? Every generous instinct of your heart will tell you no. Two wrongs never make a right. Let us train and prepare ourselves in every way for the eventualities that appear to be heading our way, and the Almighty Hand that unerringly guides and directs the destinies of peoples and races will bring us to the point where we be—that is where, as the Crisis people say, we shall be "physically free from pesteage, mentally free from ignorance, politically free from disfranchisement and socially free from insult." Dr. Spingarn is right in practice, you see, as you are in theory. We are going to need leaders for the colored regiments. It does not matter how they are made so that we have them in the hour of need. You are wrong when you say that the four colored regiments can furnish what they need, and must furnish what they can, and they will be good ones, but they will not be a drop in the bucket for what is up the sleeve of the future, I fear. Let us do nothing to divide our people in this hour of our country's trials. Neither let our work be negative or reactionary, but constructive. This plan of Dr. Spingarn's is constructive, and I hope it will meet with the best of results. What we can we can take up the idealism of the cause. Beside what colored officers the national guard and regular army ought to give us let us not forget the number of graduates from Wilberforce university, who have had military training under United States army officers, beginning with our deceased friend of revered memory, the brilliant Lieutenant John H. Alexander, and running for twelfth place in the present instructor, Captain Davis. Then I have observed the commendable efficiency of the Washington high school cadets and those from the Armstrong manual training school, all of which should help to furnish good officers for the work of war. May there be in this case no Achilles calkung in his heart. Such actions "cool down" and heat our enemies," do no good and are not in the line of strict loyalty to the flag. Yours for the country.

Address THE DENVER STAR, 1026 Nineteenth Street; Denver, Colorado How many of us realize how much the other fellow can help us achieve what we are working for? How many of us realize how much we will help ourselves by boosting our competitor instead of knocking him? To those of us who do not, the above picture, from Armour, will carry its own message. No amount of reasoning or logic could show any more clearly and definitely just what cooperation means. Let's all apply it to our own 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.
