Denver Star

Let The Denver Star Talk F over Star Independent, have been merged into T It Pays To Advertise. Get Wise and Let The Denver Star Talk For You. The Denver Star ESTABLISHED 1883 Stand By Your Flag At All Cost. FORGING THE STEEL War has been declared and is upon us. Volunteers have been called for, now Mr. Negro what are you going to do about it; and what are you doing about it? Times are critical, the hour is momentous. The enemy within and without our borders plots to kill, blow up innocent lives and destroy valuable property. The Negroes' soul is also being tried in the fires of hate in this critical period. Old Glory is our standard bearer, America is our native land and song and Star Spangled Banner is our emblem, no matter where, when nor by whom displayed. Let us be just as true, altruistic, bigger and broader, if needs be in this trying hour, than our prejudiced neighbors, and do nothing which will cause reflection upon our honor and record so dearly bought and paid for by our tears, sons, daughters, fathers and mothers. Time has passed for talk, resolutions and parades; the time is now here when every man, woman and child must do his or her bit of productive work that alone counts in our national scheme of economy. Negroes, we must not only pull our weight and our family's weight but we must by increasing our crops, vegetables and other productions be able to feed 10 or 15 families by raising an over abundance of garden truck. The Star from its very soul appeals to Negroes, in the State, cities, and in the country to help win this great Struggle in the mines of Colorado, on her farms and in her cities. Every day means so much of the season gone. Negroes, face to face, hand to hand, and elbow to elbow with all the rest of our loyal citizens, we can double or treble our resources. In the one hand while we are thus engaged in our work of help and preservation of our only native land, we know that there are certain Southern leaders who are frantically opposing Universal training because they fear the bu-ga-boo of trained Negro soldiers thoroly organized; while at the same time one Representative Vinson of Georgia has reintroduced in this Congress bills to prevent intermarriage between white and Negro bills to provide for "Jim Crow" cars in District of Columbia and a bill to segregate white and Negro governmental employees—all these disturbing factors are now being pushed against us to try and test the Negro soul at a time when every ounce of nerve, thought, act and deed should be given to unify, concentrate and protect interests common to all in the nation. If this impression can be made, the Southern States will be allowed a free hand, under "military necessity," to place the Negroes of the South under quasi-martial law. Under such regulation, the free movement and free gathering of colored people would be restrained, and every form of violence and oppression would be excused and justified. The South would see a revival of the Ku Klux Klan, and as long as the war lasted, and perhaps for many years after, the Negro would be held in a state of virtual slavery. Southern members of Congress have all along opposed a universal training law, because no such law could be framed that would exclude the Negro as a man and citizen. But war is now upon us, and the law will be passed. Therefore, if this certain Southern element can convince the country that the Negro is disloyal to the flag or even throw doubt upon his loyalty, they will be able to exclude him from universal training and the right as a citizen to bear arms; the migration now going on will be stopped by force; and then there will be a restriction of civil rights all along the line. Now for Negroes at this time to fail, neglect or refuse to rise from our seats in public places when our National Airs are being played, or refuse to applaud the only flag we know and for which our blood has been spilled does not partially show our resentment to the present Jim Crow treatment and injustice by the white man but it goes further and strikes at our native land, our homes, our all. This may be the sacrifice which we must make. We know that our enemies in the South, North and West in public places, theaters, etc are doing their all to drag the "Jim Crowism" in everything, creating a condition which no respectable man could hardly stand without protest, yet the test comes to us that God wants us to endure and thus show the world in its wide struggle for universal democracy, that altho President Wilson is against us, we are loyalty and true enough to fight for him, with him and for his ideas in this grave crisis when the world wide democracy is fighting pernicious autocracy. Therefore do not further stultify your patriotism by remaining seated and refusing to applaud "Old Glory." Let God use us to His own glory believing in his injunction "not by might, nor by power but by my spirit," saith the Lord God of Hosts who will do the work satisfactory: We shall let Mr's Drusilla D. Houston finish in her own words on "Pa- --- TWENTY-SEVENTH YEAR Number 185 Waiting for Orders, Keep Record Clear Waiting for Orders, Keep Record Clear NEGROES WAITING TO ENLIST. Despite the present attitude of the South, now in the saddle at Washington, which will probably forbid for a time the black man's enlistment in large numbers in the army and navy, when the opportunity does come to him he must prove his loyalty to the Stars and Stripes. He will not, he must not enlist in a Jim Crow army, but he must join the army of Uncle Sam. He must resolutely face the future with hope and courage. He must act just as did those black men in the early exploration and discovery of the country. Though they died by thousands, though till this day they remain unwept and unsung, though Balboa, Cortez, Coronado, Ponce de Leon, Daniel Boone, Lewis and Clark, Fremont and Commodore Peary get the glory, yet history must record that these brave black men in their unselfish achievement chose the better part. The world is richer by their sacrifice. Their race can be more race proud as a consequence. They helped to explore a new continent and establish a new nation and the great republic of all times. Just as their grandsons, though slaves, too, fought in the Revolution and the war of 1812; just as their great grandsons, slaves, too, fought in 1861 to 1865 to preserve the Union; just as at home in the South the slaves protected the property, children and women of their masters fighting at the front to keep their slaves in slavery; just at San Juan Hill black soldiers fought to free a foreign people though their own race at home was Jim Crowed and disfranchised; just as today they are being called upon to die at the front in Mexico to avenge the nation's honor, despite all their woes, present and past; JUST SO COLLORED CITIZENS MUST ANSWER THE CALL TO ENLIST in the war now engulfing the world. It is the better part. It will confuse and confound the enemies of the race in a thousand different ways in the days to come. It will teach the colored citizen race pride. It will again impress the country with his stability and his patriotism. These are the virtues of citizenship. HE MUST KEEP THE RECORD STRAIGHT.—Am. News. Black Men will Help to Write the Story of Unselfishness Across the Pages of World History "The wicked flee when no man pursueth," said Solomon, the sage, who through the ages has given us this expression to show how evil men's consciences will rise up to stare them in the face, and like Banquo's Ghost are phantoms that chill with fear the transgressors of a land. Today in the Congress of the United States there huddles a group of men who talk in hysterical voices of the danger of Negro uprising in the southland. Filled with fear, they seek to drive a thought into the heart of this nation that there is a black menace that clutches for the throat of this republic and for that reason there should be no arming of the black man under the universal military act. "A million blacks in the south with guns shrieks Vardaman! My God! No!" He shouts as there rises before him a phantoms that no one sees but himself. Yes there rises before him an accusing conscience that enshrouds and hides from his view the picture of three million loyal faithful black men who at a time when this nation was tearing at its very vitals, committed no acts of violence in the southland, while their masters fought to keep them in bondage. Truly Solomon was correct when he said, "Evil men understand not judgment," and because of this truth Vardaman and all his cohorts can never understand why it is that black men with loyal hearts and unswerving purposes stand equally behind President Wilson and this nation in this war for liberty and freedom. Pres. Wilson said in his war speech to Congress, "We shall fight for the right of those who submit to authority to have a voice in their own government." Is this not then the black man's war? Have we not been struggling, here in America through the centuries for the right of voice in our own government, and do we not know that to throw our lives into this great world struggle to which President Wilson refers as a war of "the vindication of right, human right." is but a lever with which in the adjustments of peace, to wrest from the attention of the universe our recognition in the equations of equality. In the righteous, long suffering heart of black men there is an understanding of judgment. It was good judgment that caused the black man to lay down his life on Boston Commons, Buaker Hill, New Orleans, Petersburg, Fort Pillow, San Juan and Carrizal. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, APRIL 21, 1917 At all these points in America can history we have spilled and left our blood as the purchase price of all that we have today. And what have we today? WE HAVE A CHANCE HERE IN AMERICA TO TEACH THE WORLD THE GREAT LESSON OF UNSELFISHNESS, we have a chance now, while chaos reigns to give expression to the deepest recesses of our soul, SO LONG SHACK-LED, by the world lesson in good fellowship, good will accord. Stand By At A FORGING War has been declared have been called for, now do about it; and what are you critical, the hour is moment without our borders plots to destroy valuable property. ing tried in the fires of ha Glory is our standard bear song and Star Spangled B Vardaman does not know against what he is fighting the average white man does not know with certainty what he opposes, but the truth is beginning to dawn within the mind of thoughtful Caucasian that there is an irresistible influence about him and everywhere and he recognizes in it black mentality. Lynch the black man, burn him, prescribe against him, or do what you may to tear him down, but ever and always he turns up with a Jack Johnson smile always looking upward his heart full of love for every body and his mind as free and open to the gaze of the world as the noon day sun. Black men are by nature, creatures of peace and it is this very influence and disposal in his being that shall mean much to the world when peaceful adjustment shall come. Envy, spite and hate have not controlled his nature and there is no thought of treason or rebellion in his heart. Bishop Quayle a white man, said recently that black men were the balance of power in the hope of this nation, what did he mean? Black men understand and they shall not permit, in this world war, their record to be tarnished by any act or thought that form a basis for the phantoms that lurk in the dreams of Vardaman and his ilk. A million black men armed in the southland will simply mean that America will face the military legions of the Imperial German government with the same class of loyal invincible black manhood, who struck terror and route into the German heart at Paris It will mean that America has placed guns in the hands of the only class of its citizenship upon which she can absolutely depend, for we are fighting with President Wilson for the right of the voice of men. Silently, through the ages, black men have been fighting for this day that seems about to dawn. No! No! Mr. Vardaman et al, we shall not change the record, we shall in this war clinch the nails of truth in justice, and we know how, for we are righteous, we understand judgment. Now, ever and always American black men will be loyal to the Stars and Stripes.—Black Dispatch. State Fisherman triotism vs Treason." At this hour forgetting our heavy burdens and our mistreatment we should remember that this is OUR NATIVE LAND. None are more American than we; for have not we with brain and muscle and sacrifice made the southland what it is. WE ARE AMERICANS. No word or act of race hate can alter that fact. At the hour of this nation's peril let us prove what is really in our heart. At this hour our nation stands facing an enemy. No word should be said by any loyal citizen, that will weaken her chance of strength. Thou my enemy sits in the saddle of leadership I will follow his leadership, if I am a true born son. We have offered ourselves for enlistment, we have been rejected. Let us go patiently on with our daily service. It may be God's hand. The refusal leaves us no worse off. If America needs us, we will hear her call and will answer—that is patriotism. At this hour words other than these are treason. The man of hasty speech, who is worth nothing to his country in either war or peace, should be promptly silenced by the Negro of wisdom. Christ said, "Forgive even thy enemy, heap coals of fire upon his head." If there is a black man among us in whose heart hatred and revenge rankles. This is an hour which to him will be a snare: for your rash words now are TREASON not against the white man but against your native land. Stop just now and think. If you do not wish to defend her hearth stones, you should not speak the word, that would cause others nobler than you to go to her rescue. I am black, and no heart can thrill as mine to love of country. No heart can grieve more sorely than mine over her needs. No white man who walks her soil can give more of sacrifice out of his life than I for her uplift. Yesterday pale faces, failed to take the oath of allegiance. They composed the cursed slayer crew. No flush of shame mounts my forehead for no black man stood in that treason gang. Had I ten sons today I would say to them "Work on my sons if your country has not called you; but the hour when she does call, if you die fighting in her defense I shall not feel that I have lived in vain. Charleston, S. C.—Thomas E. Miller, former president of the State Negro college, has addressed letters to President Wilson and Governor Manning offering to organize 30,ooo South Carolina Negroes for active service in the army and navy.

The rite of baptism was administered to nien candidates last Sunday. There are several others remaining on the list. The pastor hopes that next Sunday will see everyone ready to fulfill the Savior's command. It is never good to delay in these matters. The pastor's message last Sunday dealt with the entrance of America into the world war and the right attitude of colored Americans toward it. It sounded a ringing call to patriotism for every soul who enjoys citizenship, pointing out that "rights" are only deserved when "obligations" have been fully met and discharged. This, black men have always done. Zlon furnished seventy-seven visitors to the great Home Visitation campaign this week. Many of the strongest and most active people in the church volunteered for this work. We hope for a large return from this canvas. Special care will be given to the preparation of Mother's Day program this year, to be observed on the second Sunday in May. A special sermon to mothers, for whom a reserved section in the church will be held. Every mother in the congregation is urged to be present and every person will wear a white ribbon in honor of mother. We expect to make it a day to be remembered.

The 'choir rendered their Post-Easter recital last Sabbath evening to the musical satisfaction of those present. Messrs. C. Clark and W. Gatewood and Miss Dimple Gatewood were very effective indeed. The selection of Mr. Gatewood was a violin solo. The choruses were very pleasingly rendered. Visiting clergymen were Rev. Young of Topeka, Kan., at present evangelist at Scott's M. E.; Rev. Sawyer of Scott's and Rev. O. L. McLeod of the Union Church at Dearfield. The annual meeting of the Presbytery of Denver last Tuesday at the South Broadway church was very largely attended. The Rev. Charles L. Mead of Trinity M. E. Church preached the retiring Moderator's sermon for Dr. Penn Martin. Dr. Charles G. Williams, father of the People's Church was unanimously elected Moderator for the year 1917-8. Rev J. A. Thos-Hazell won his second victory in the fight for the abolishing of the Freedmen's Board when a communication sent down to the other Presbyteries of the Church from Pittsburgh Presbytery the seat of the Freedmen's Board to not sustain the contention of the promoters and agitators of the merging of the Freedmen's and Home Mission Boards. The Presbytery has unanimously approved the proposed merger refused to act on the overture from the Presbytery of Pittsburgh. The fight for Christian democracy will be waged on the floor of the next general assembly at Dallas, Texas, the third Thursday of May. The pastor announces the class for the instruction of candidates for church membership is now open in the People's Church. Interested persons take notice. By order or the Session a special meeting of the congregation is hereby summoned to take place Monday night at 8 o'clock in the chapel. Objects: 1. Report from the Presby- terey. 2.

CHURCH OF THE HOLY REDEEMER 22nd Ave. and Humboldt St The Rev. Henry B. Brown, B. D., Vicar. Y. M. C. A. NOTES. Forty boys stood by a few evenings ago and saw a team of boys from the Central "Y" defeat our boys at pocket-billiards by a score of 2 to 1. The Central boys defeated our boys in all the different combinations by practically the same score. The Central boys were a decent and courteous group, and made a favorable impression on all who met them. The croquet season was opened last Saturday afternoon. The first real contest was played between King and Bell, the score being an even one—4 to 4. The men's court is now being prepared and will soon be ready. Then some real croquet will be played. Sims is dying to meet King, and the Lighter says he is ready for "all comers." Ross says he has some new strokes that will "put the ball there every time." Time will tell. The "Y" will conduct the program of the Epworth League at Trinity Church next Sunday evening at 6:00 o'clock. Quite a program has been prepared, and all are invited to go down who will. The Rev. Dr. D. H. Fouse, pastor of the First Reformed Church, will be the speaker at the men's meeting next Sunday afternoon at 4:00 o'clock. Special music will be rendered by Mr. Bassett of Colorado Springs. All will be welcome. BAD COUGH? FEVERISH? GRIPPY?

LARGE ENROLLMENT FOR MILITARY TRAINING CAMP Our Men Respond Nobly to Dr. J. E. Spingarn's Call. The success of the military training camp for colored officers inaugurated by Dr. J. E. Spingarn is now virtually assured. Nearly 300 men from all over the United States have already enrolled. All of them are graduates or undergraduates of colleges, high schools or normal schools. Every profession is represented—the ministry, law, medicine, dentistry, government positions, the national guard, business, teaching, etc. A considerable number of college professors and one president are included. In fact, the men who have volunteered for this camp represent the very cream of the citizenship of this country, regardless of race, creed or color. The officers of the eastern department of the army are now considering details of the camp, and unless all the training camps in the country are dropped because of the new war situation this camp for the training of colored officers is almost sure to go through. The date for operation of the camp is likely to be from June 5 to July 2 at one of the forts or army posts along the eastern coast. It is necessary that such a camp should be held near such a fort or post in order that a rifle range, quartermaster and ordnance stores and other military necessities may be immediately available. It will be under the direction of officers of the regular army. There is no reason why at least 500 men should not go to this camp. All those desiring to join should immediately write to Dr. J. E. Spingara, 9 West Seventy-third street, New York. No one over forty-five years of age is eligible, and graduates or undergraduates of high schools, normal schools and colleges are preferred.

As if by premonition of the great conflict in which this country is now engaged to defend its rights against a foreign foe, Dr. James E. Shepard, president of the National Training school, Durham, N. C., wrote the following in January: "The far cry is now for men, strong men, men capable of great undertakings, whether it be to serve in action or stand and wait; men of reasoning, of strength and of power; men who can face issues and dare to look them squarely in the face, who can endure until the last effort of will is stilled, who can control self first and last. "Just now, when America stands with bated breath, eager to know which is the best move for all, not for America alone, but the action that will quickest bring back to our ears the glad alleluia—now is the time to show ourselves MEN. "Wherever and whenever we can serve best, there let us be found. Our FRONT VIEW OF BOYS' DORMITORY. reward will be in the real joy of service and the inward satisfaction of knowing ourselves capable of answering the call for men." In his anxiety to provide adequate equipment for the successful operation of the National Training school Dr Shepard was wise enough and farsighted enough to make as ample provision for the boy students as the means for dormitory purposes would permit. There is great hope for the future growth and possibilities of the institution in the proper care and training of this younger element. There is a pressing need for more dormitory space to accommodate and Calling Cards VER STAR Denver, Colo. NAMPA 2962 train 300 worthy young men and women to go out for lives of service. Thirty thousand dollars is required for this purpose. An administration and class room building, to cost $40,000, is needed and for heat, water and light $12,500. At present the school is paying over $1,000 yearly for these things. For a mechanical building $10,000 is the sum required. An endowment, not for extravagant expense or unnecessary needs, but to carry out effectively and thoroughly the work and simply lighten the burden, is suggested. Just $250,000 will insure the permanency of this institution. No one need withhold a gift however small. Contributions are promptly acknowledged with thanks to all who avail themselves of sharing in the support of this great work for the training of young men and women for leadership and service. Indores Military Training Camp. Dr Robert E. Jones editor of the Southwestern Christian Advocate, has written a strong indores) unit of Dr J. E.

We should be broader than that because narrowness never won anybody a battle. Negroes, "Honor and shame from no condition rise; act well YOUR part, THERE all HONOR lies. Now, let every home, lodge, society, church and business place display the American flag. In this movement Zion Baptist and Scott M. E. churches, so far as we have been able to learn, are the only churches displaying the flag. The Day Nursery displays three flags. Negroes, get busy. Let us be men and women as well as loyal citizens; yet let the world know we are not treated fairly. To be loyal does not mean you are satisfied. Be patriotic at all times. Wear flags, Negroes. With the United States flags costing five for 5 cents at the Five and Ten Cent stores, The Star can see no reason why every Negro home has not a flag displayed in their home. Men make circumstances; circumstances make duties, and duty is destiny. "Give us men! A time like this demands Strong minds, great hearts, true faith, and ready hands. Men whom the lust of office does not kill; Men whom the spoils of office cannot buy; Men who possess opinions and a will; Men who have honor, and who will not lie; Men who can stand before a demogogue And scorn his treacherous flatteries without winking.

At this period of unrest and nation wide eagerness on the part of the people to defend their country's rights against a foreign foe the views of Dr. Hollis B. Frissell, president of the Hampton institute, concerning the attitude of the colored people are of great value. In an interview a few days after this country declared war against Germany, Dr. Frissell said: "After thirty-six years of labor among the Negroes of the south I feel that I have a fair knowledge of conditions. I have been interested to read some statements that indicate there are a large number of Negroes who are disloyal to the government. Should there be a call for help the whole Hampton institute battalion of 500 cadets could be counted on for service. They are under military training. "The Negro has always been loyal. Certainly no other race coming from a foreign soil can be compared with the Negroes in their loyalty to this country. What is true of the past is certainly true of the present." THE VOTELESS CITIZEN. Withholding of the Ballot Creates Spirit of Revenge The withholding of the ballot from citizens of the United States who are entitled to it, on account of race or color, is a serious violation of the constitution. Thousands of colored men in the south are denied the right of franchise for no other cause than that of color, and yet in a crisis like the one which this country now faces they take up arms if necessary in defense of the government. Such high handed injustice is enough to make the heart of man sick and it may dilute the quality of his patriotism. It creates within his very being a spirit of just resentment. The voleless citizen is a sad commentary on the justice of democracy. Biddle University's Golden Jubilee. Biddle university, Charlotte, N.C., is making great preparations for the coming commencement, which will be held the first week in June. The occasion also marks the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the institution. The program of speakers for Tuesday. June 5, will include some of the graduates who have made good in business and the various professions. FIRST BATTALION ON DUTY. Colored Troops Stand Guard to Protect Nation's Capital. The First separate battallon, the premier unit of the District national guard, is on duty at the vital spots of the nation's capital.

A. tent, with an officer detailed from the Twelfth street branch, will be established near by. Companies A and D are stationed at the highway and railroad bridges, guarding the gateways to the south, and have a camp in Potomac park. The chaplain will also establish a Y. M. C. A. tent there. Reading matter for the men is requested, newspapers and magazines being very acceptable. The battalion, under the command of Major James E. Walker, is looking fine and is acquitting itself with credit to itself and to the race. The guard will be on duty at these points for an indefinite period. Scott Addresses Lodge of Elks.

BENEFACTOR OF HIS RACE Institution at Nashville, Tenn., Laye Cornerstone For New Anatomical Hall—Bishop Bristol Delivers Fine Address—President Hubbard Pays Glowing Tribute to Wealthy Donor. Bishop Frank M. Bristol of the Methodist Episcopal church delivered the address incident to laying the cornerstone recently for the new Anderson anatomical hall at Meharry Medical college, Nashville, Tenn. The bishop, who was recently sent to the work in Tennessee and stationed at Chattanooga, is one of the most forceful and eloquent pulpit speakers in the entire Methodist Episcopal church. His address at the cornerstone laying was one of the best that has been heard in Nashville on such an important occasion for a long time. President George W. Hubbard of Meharry Medical college was master M. W. H. DR. AND MRS. $ \theta $ W. ANDERSON. of ceremonies, and features of the exercise were a number of well readened musical selections, vocal and instrumental, by the Meharry orchestra and a solo given by one of the female students of the college. Deans W. F. Tillet and H. W. Morgan of Vanderbilt university, Dean C. W. Morrow of Fisk university, Dr. E. W. Nell, President White of Walden university, Bishop C. H. Phillips of the C. M. E. church and Bishop I. B. Scott of the M. E. church were among other leaders present at the exercises held in the Meharry auditorium. Following the address of Bishop Bristol, the audience, which was one of the largest that have ever witnessed a similar occasion at Meharry, proceeded to the foundation of the new building, where the bishop said a few fitting words and Dr. Morgan offered an appropriate prayer. That the medical science is the oldest of sciences and was first made such by the descendants of Ham was one of the significant statements made by Bishop Bristol in his address. He contended that the Egyptians, who handed the profession down to Moses, first secured their expert knowledge of medicine from the early descendants of Ham. Another significant declaration made by the bishop was that the time is coming when the physician will be paid out of the public treasury. "This is an age of great thinking and healthy living," said Bishop Bristol. "Better physical conditions make better spiritual conditions. This intellectual age means the counteract of disease and a new emphasis on the value of human life." The bishop also said that this is an age of applied Christianity, telling of those who possessed the genius of producing wealth and of using such wealth in helping others. He closed his address by asking the question: "What can you do? God trusts you to maintain and support his institutions. He has faith in mankind. The church is the only institution that must live by voluntary contributions. The gift of the building to this institution for which we are soon to lay the cornerstone should inspire you and serve to consecrate your lives to a service of doing good for others." The contribution of $10,000 from Dr. John W. Anderson of Dallas, Tex., is the largest single gift ever made by a graduate of any of the schools operated by the Freedmen's Aid society of the Methodist Episcopal church and is considered to be quite significant in that it shows that the colored race is developing the spirit of self help and an appreciation of unselfish efforts and sacrifice others have made toward the uplift of his race. Dr. J. W. Anderson was born in Lex- ingvon, Mo., Sept. 1, 1861, and was left an orphan when two and a half years of age. He attended the public schools of Kansas City and later graduated from the University of Kansas. Entering Meharry Medical college at Nashville, he finished in due time both the medical and dental courses of study. He was connected with Meharry as professor of anatomy for three years following his graduation. In addition to his great success as a professional practitioner Dr. Anderson has had a remarkable career as a practical business man, and in his twenty-eight years of residence in Dallas, Tex., has acquired a substantial fortune. President Hubbard, who is responsible for the turning out of half of the professional men and women of the race in this country, paid the following tribute to Dr. Anderson, who gave the Anderson Anatomical hall to Meharry Medical college: "Dr. J. W. Anderson is a man of indomitable will, tireless energy and inquisitive mind. He is a thorough master of the healing art and is as much at home in the medical bypaths of psycho-therapy, mechanico-therapy, hydrotherapy, electro-therapy and the nondrug regime generally as on the highways of therapeutical pharmacology." The first article dropped into the opening of the cornerstone was a copy of the Nashville Tennessean and American and copies of the Banner, the Globe, Clarion, Union-Review and Mehary News. A sketch of Dr. Anderson and his wife and the following religious publications were also put into the stone: The Christian Advocate, Nashville; the Christian Advocate, New York; the Western Christian Advocate, Cincinnati; Northwestern Christian Advocate, Chicago; Central Christian Advocate, Kansas City; Southwestern Christian Advocate, New Orleans. The new building is to be located just opposite the George W. Hubbard hospital and is to be completed in time for use for the 1917-18 school term. The architecture and all work on the building have been carefully looked after by President Hubbard, and when completed the structure will be in every way representative of Meharry Medical college and in keeping with the perfect manner in which Dr. Hubbard has directed all things at the noted institution for half a century. WOULD RAISE REGIMENT Colored American In London Ready to Defend Old Glory. The loyalty and patriotism of the colored people of the United States to the country's flag, whether they are residing at home or abroad, are genuine. An instance of this sincerity and devotion is shown by George Washington, a Spanish-American war veteran, who holds the position of doorkeeper at the United States general consulate office in London. When the news reached him that an extra session of congress had been called for the purpose of taking definite steps to adequately deal with the international situation Mr. Washington at once asked permission of Consul General Skinner to raise a regiment of colored soldiers to fight in the field against Germany in case of war between this country and Germany. Poeem in Honor of Madam C. J. Walker, W. I. Rector of Guadalupe college has written the following poem in honor of Madam C. J. Walker, the well known and successful business woman: O Lord, create in me a heart To read and write the truth, The start, the end of every part Beginning in her youth. In eighteen hundred sixty-seven, In Delta, Louisiana. Unto a mother a babe was given Of calm and gentle manner. Her mother's love was soon bereaved. For heaven bade her come. No care for her could be received. Her work on earth was done. When time brought on a change she saw Her life could not be sweet With sister and her brother-in-law, But sorrows forever meet. She then resolved to find a way To give vent to her mind. A companion with whom to stay Would convey her design. This she succeeded in, we find, For years they were at home. Doubtless all tears were left behind. She did not care to roam. But, alas, that home was theirs no more Father no longer stayed. Now mother and child must face the foe, To plan and frame their way. Forgetting not the Saviour dear, She struggled hard to gain. She knew 'twas faith that helped to bear The cross and heal all pain. Her physical form was growing old; Her mind began to turn To solve a mystery that was untold And upon her nation burn— Only that which nature gives us, No lovely hair, no fairer hand, But only that that's for us." This problem she has truly solved, And nations can now say Upon the roll of fame is carved And forever there will stay. This once poor girl who had no home, No friends to give her aid, Who started in her youth to roam Life's road and make her way— She now has all her heart may ask. Her hope for years has come. By a dream she came to solve her task. Her toilome race is won. The toils, the struggles of her life Are what we need to see. She did not ever work through strife; She thought how to be free From hardest: toils that to pay less Where life is not a bliss And where the laborer sees nor rest, Neither joy receives a kiss.

EMANCIPATION HIS THEME Son of Well Known Clergyman in Masterly Address Traces Upward Struggles of the Race Through Slavery to Freedom—Says Lincoln Was World's Greatest Seer and Prophet. Charles Satchell Morris, Jr., the precocious son of Rev. Dr. Morris of Norfolk, Va., who has been suffering from a temporary breakdown due to overwork, recently delivered at Hampton institute an address on "Emancipation," which commanded the respectful attention and admiration of an audience of more than 1,500 representative colored people. Mr. Morris is a student at Wilson academy, Nyack, N. Y., and has made an enviable record as a public speaker. He has spent a great deal of time and strength in speaking before large religious bodies. Prior to his recent illness he was engaged in preparing magazine material on "The Exodus of the Southern Negro." Some excerpts from his Hampton institute address on "Emancipation" will indicate the style and scholarship which characterize this young man's public speaking. He in part said: "This is the fifty-fourth year of emancipation, and it is eminently fitting that there should be an observance of it at the shrine of Negro education in America. Here are displayed in a conspicuous form the gallant deeds of those whose souls are not trammeled, whose hearts are not embittered and who bear their burdens with a sense of manly pride and complacency. We come to show that theirs is a patriotism which will overthrow every despot and overcome every tyrant. "What have we accomplished? What is the sum total of our work? We have produced a Benjamin Banneker, a Phillis Wheatley, a Paul Laurence Dunbar, a Frederick Douglass and a Booker T. Washington. We have planted a schoolhouse on every hill, a church in every vale, a home on every street, a bank on many corners, an insurance company in every city. We own 300,000 separate pieces of property, the sum total of our wealth exceeding $700,000,000; we have 4,000 lawyers, 3,000 graduate doctors, 150,000 business men, 50,000 ministers, 40,000 churches, 35,000 schoolteachers, who, with a patriotic fervor in their hearts, are helping their race. We love Lincoln. He broke our bonds. He rent our chains asunder. "The white race often boasts of the fact that we have not intellectually been their equals. I dare to challenge this statement. I dare to say it is willfully false and maliciously untrue. The Caucasian has had fourteen centuries in which to develop. He, too, was in slavery for five consecutive centuries under Roman rule, yet he dares to assail us because ours was more recent, which is bad logic and worse common sense. But the black man who must of necessity hate a white man is but half free. The white man who will hate a black man is but half free. "I am glad the Negro was brought to America. I am glad he worked in slavery which extended over a period of 250 years. I am glad he labored with a loyalty, a faithfulness, unexcelled by any people in similar servitude. I am glad he did not falter. I am glad he bore this crushing weight well. I am glad he was crucified on the cross of American slavery. I am glad he was buried in the grave and from that grave cometh a voice and sayeth, 'Though dead, yet I speak and live.' "When the two sections were becoming more and more estranged, when slavery was the very ground of the southern Confederacy and when the north had seen that 'slavery was a covenant with death and an agreement with heil' and that she could no longer support it, there came the great crisis of the American republic. But God always has a great man ready for every great crisis. He had Caesar ready to wage the campaign against the Gauls to build up Rome; he had Arnold Winkelried to defend Switzerland against the Austrians; he had Toussaint L'Ouverture ready in Haiti; he had George Washington ready for the American Revolution, and he had the first American, the greatest man in the world's history, to guide the ship of state through four years of fire and blood. Lincoln knew that slavery was wrong. Lincoln knew that God had said long before, 'Let my people go.' Lincoln knew that a republic could not endure whose cornerstone was slavery. "Henry W. Grady, the south's most brilliant son, has well said of the Negro. 'To his eternal credit be it said that whenever be raised his black and humble hands that the shackles might be shaken off, those hands were innocent of wrong against his helpless charges and worthy to be taken in living grasp by every man who honors loyalty and devotion.' We are helping our brethren in every city; we are trampling upon our former trivial prejudices.

LARGE SUM CONTRIBUTED Patriotic Audience at Washington Responds Nobly to Last Call of Local Committee, Headed by Henry Lassiter—Warm Welcome For Principal Moton and Secretary Scott. By R. W. THOMPSON. Washington. — Patriotism and the Tuskegee spirit were the watchwords of the tremendous outpouring of the race at the John Wesley A. M. E. Zion church in this city the latter part of March. The occasion was the final rally of the local committee in charge of the Booker T. Washington memorial fund, a $2,000,000 donation planned by the trustees to honor the memory of the founder of Tuskegee institute and to augment the endowment fund of that historic school to a figure that will perpetuate the work and perfect the system of education marked out by its far visioned chief advocate. Henry Lassiter, chairman of the District of Columbia general committee, presided and told the object of the meeting. The national anthem, "America," sung by the audience standing, set the pace for the evening and inspired every speaker to refer to the loyalty of the Negro to the only fatherland he knows and brought up memories of his valor and unflagging enthusiasm for the stars and stripes upon every battlefield of the republic from Bunker Hill to Carrizal. The Divine blessing was invoked by Rev. D. E. Wiseman, pastor of the Church of Our Redeemer (Lutheran) The address of welcome was delivered by the Hon. Henry B. F. Macfarland, for ten years commissioner of the District of Columbia. Judge Robert H. Terrell of the District municipal court prefaced a strong financial appeal with a telling speech, describing the beneficent influence of Tuskegee institute and the duty incumbent upon the race to give it prompt, generous and open banded support. He lauded the work of the late Dr. Washington as a teacher, statesman and humanitarian. Judge Terrell gave full credit due Emmett J. Scott for the unremitting toil, constant devotion and never falling sympathy the faithful secretary and "right hand man" had brought to his chief through out the best years of his life, a span of more than two decades. Hon. John C. Dancy, former recorder of deeds and now secretary of the church extension board of the A. M. E. Zilon church, followed with a "call to arms" that was eloquent and irresistible. His speech was so magnetic that he literally drew the money out of the pockets of the most careful investors, and sums varying from $2 to $25 were soon passing up to the table in the form of cash, checks and pledges. With the basket collection taken by a score of beautiful girls, led by Mr. Walter J. Singleton, chairman of the committee on reception, the amount realized during the evening was up ward of $700. This, with funds already sent to Tuskegee, will bring Washington's offering very near the $1,000 mark. Dr. Robert R. Moton, affectionately known as Major Moton, the virile successor to Dr. Washington as the official head of Tuskegee institute, and Mr. Emmett J. Scott, the secretary of the school and chief aid to the eminent founder as well as second in command under the new regime, received ovations as they were introduced. The popularity of these distinguished gentlemen in Washington was indicated in no uncertain degree, and the cause for which they stand was also indorsed by the hearty welcome accorded them by the representatives of the capital's most substantial citizenry. Mr. Scott was presented by Chairman Lassiter, and the address delivered by Tuskegee Institute's secretary was a masterpiece of modest eloquence and a model for clarity of statement of the plans and purposes of the promoters of the Booker T. Washington memorial fund. The idea, as shown by Mr. Scott, is to raise $2,000,000 through a special effort and thus bring the endowment fund up to $4,000,000, the income from which will place the school on a firm financial basis and relieve its officers of the strain of raising money to make up the deficits that occur each year. Amid salvios of applause, former Senator Moses E. Clapp of Minnesota, a tried and true friend of the race, rose to present Dr. Moton. He made a speech abounding in patriotism, confidence in the fidelity of the Negro to lofty standards of industry, courage and civic uprightness, and expressed his belief that the mantle of the immortal Washington had fallen upon worthy shoulders. "Work, worth, service to humanity, the cultivation of neighborliness, the unity of fellowship for the common good, are all types of patriotism," declared the senator, "and Dr Moton stands for all these, just as did his high souled predecessor. Tuskegee, under its new administration, will go on and do its work, for it has patriots of the most consecrated kind as its directing force." Welton Market and Dept.

Armstrong Trains For Leadership and Teaches Dignity of Labor—Preparation of Students In Domestic Science Serves Only as Means to an End. By W. ANTHONY AERY. Requests for Hampton trained girls to go north into domestic service next summer have been steadily coming to the lady principal ever since the Hampton term began last fall. Women who have had Hampton girls in their homes year after year as cooks, launderesses, waitresses or general housekeepers have written kind letters expressing their appreciation of the training, reliability, faithfulness and common sense which these girls showed and asking to have the same girls assigned to them for next summer. Women who have heard from their friends and neighbors good reports of the efficient work and Christian character of the Hampton girls have also written to the lady principal for domestic service help during the coming summer. To the numerous requests for cooks, laundresses, waitresses and housekeepers Hampton is replying essentially as follows: "During the summer months we usually have between seventy-five and a hundred girls up north in service in good homes. The positions are secured by Hampton at the request of the girls and of the girls' parents so as to protect the girls from coming under influences which will lower their standards. "These same girls return in the fall with money to help them through the Hampton school and do not remain in service permanently. "Our girls are all trained and are not afraid of work, but the object of the school is primarily to train teachers who will go into the south and work among their own people. "The Hampton girl feels that her education is given her in trust. She feels that she has no right to remain in the north in domestic service, although she may receive good wages. She feels that her mission in life lies in the south, where she can help mold the sentiment of a whole community and give that community what Hampton has given to her." The Hampton girls in particular are acquainted with the facts concerning the Negro exodus from the south and are intelligently making their own decisions. Their parents have had letters warning against the danger of allowing young girls to go to seashore resorts, where living conditions physically and morally are often most dangerous. To kind white friends who have cooperated in finding good homes for the Hampton girls letters have been written stating frankly the financial burden which these self supporting students must carry and asking that wherever possible better wages be given these reliable and efficient colored girls. The response to this appeal has been most hearty and generous. Women who know the facts and realize Hampton's object in making the request for higher wages for good cooks and housekeepers have been happy to accept Hampton's suggestion. SUCCESS OF MME. HACKLEY. Energetic Musical Genius to Conduct "Queens' Pageant" in Washington. Mme. E. Azalia Hackley, who has been quite successful in the musical world, winning laurels as a prima donna soprano and as a director of large folk song festivals, is now turning her attention to pageants and historical reviews. She gave a successful "Queens' Pageant" in Philadelphia April 4. One of a similar character but on a larger scale is to be given in Washington April 24 at the Metropolitan A. M. E. church under the auspices of the Bethel Literary and Historical association. A chorus of 200 will participate in the pageant, and the queens of every realm, with their retinue, will be represented. The affair will be under the general management of Miss Marie A. D. Madre. Five times president of Bethel Literary society. Mme. Hackley is now in Washington conducting rehearsals for the big event of the 24th. Poe Heade Citizens' Patriotic League. The Colored Citizens' Patriotic league is the name of an organization recently formed at Richmond, Va., of which James W. Poe is one of the chief promoters. The purpose of the league is to more closely unite members of the race for mutual protection along all lines and to support the United States in every way possible in the war with Germany. The organization is national in scope. Los Angeles Colored Men Are Ready. The colored people of Los Angeles are showing great interest in the war against Germany. On the eve of the declaration of war issued by congress an overflow meeting was held by the colored people, and a battalion composed of four companies was organised under the leadership of R. G. Lames. DIVISION. HO-HO! HOW? WHER? WOW! Conference Unity LETS PULL TOGETHER Result TEAM WORK Division Never Again. SUCCESS! 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. 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.

Washington.—Echoes of the recent celebration of the Festival of the Mardi Gras still linger pleasantly in the ears of social Washington. The spectacular function was held in the immense convention hall, and more than 2,000 persons crowded into the scintillating arena. The affair, conceded on all hands to have been the largest, finest and most unique assemblage of its kind ever held in the nation's capital, was held for the benefit of the building fund of the Young Women's Christian association and is now firmly established as an annual event. The unprecedented success of the Mardi Gras this year, as was true of that of last year, is a personal triumph for Mrs. Anita P. Brown. From start to finish she gave to the work a degree of intelligence, industry, comprehensive vision and constructive ability that stamped her as a manager of the first rank. She was full of brilliant ideas and had the resourcefulness necessary to put them into practical effect. In conception and in execution she showed a capacity for leadership that was marvelous, and this is borne out by the concrete results produced by her skillful efforts. Among these splendid helpers were Mrs. Maud Hawkins, Mrs. Alice Wormley Francis, Mrs. E. D. Williston and Mrs. Walter J. Singleton. Willingly they gave the full measure of their social influence, time and physical strength to the cause. It is not a matter of wonder that the people so promptly and so numerously responded to their clarion call. The gentlemen were not less arduous in lending their aid to the work of providing club home for their charming sisters, and their labors were helpfully in evidence. Walter J. Singleton rendered 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.

Lincoln Brown, Custis Syphax, David L. Bruce, Dr. C. Summer Wormley, John H. Downing, Dr. E. D. Williston and others. The Mardi Gras is a brilliant spectacle has had no equal in this community and would have done credit to the New Orleans originators of the mighty festival. The hall was lighted by a myriad of electric bulbs. The costumes of the characters were traced to life, typifying every phase of human life of today and of the manifold personages of history and romance. With the vast assemblage whirling to the inspiring strains of L. N. Brown's orchestra of forty pieces and the fashion women filled with handsome gowned women and gallant men in evening dress, enshrouded in lavish decorations of flowers, flags and ensigns, the picture was one that "no artist could paint." Confetti, streamers and all of the paraphernalia of fun and frolic were there to drive away "parking care." A delightful diversion of the midnight hour was the artistic fancy dancing of Misses Lucele Moore and Hortense Gray, who performed a series of terpsichorean evolutions worthy of a Ruth St. Denis or an Aida Overton Walker. Of Mrs. Anita P. Brown, upon whose shoulders the entire weight of the management of the Mardi Gras fell, too much in praise cannot be said. To her must be accorded the lion's share of the credit for its satisfactory outcome. To draw 2000 or more of the nation's elite and to clear upward of $700 in a single effort are feats of magic in this day of the high cost of living and the increased expense attached to the giving of large entertainments. But this is not the first instance where Mrs. Brown has scored heavily for the Y. W. C. A. and for other worthy enterprises, charitable and religious. DO YOU WANT HAIR?
