Lake, May 30 The Denver Star ESTABLISHED 1888 The papers formerly known as The Statesman and The Independent, have been merged into The Denver Star TWENTY-SEVENTH YEAR Number 190 DENVER, GOLORADO, SATURDAY, MAY 26, 1917 FIVE CENTS A COPY As To Our Railroad Men. By REV. ROBERT L. POPE, Presiding Elder of Rocky Mountain District. Dear Mr. Editor: Having been engaged during the past eight months in superintending the above named district, which makes it necessary for me to travel 5.000 miles every ninety days. I have seen our railroad men in a light never before witnessed. In the first place, I was struck with the comparatively large number of them in this service and then with the proficiency with which they served. With the exception of the dining car on the Santa Fe, on all roads coming into Denver the dining car waiters are our men and on all the principal roads our men are well represented as porters and cooks. Of course all the Pullman porters are men of our race. Cut off to us this source of revenue and you wreck hundreds of our substantial homes; you also wreck our churches, lodges and every other race enterprise. While positions of engineer, fireman and conductor are barred against our men, still the Negro approaches nearer having a monopoly on dining car service and train porter service than in any other walk in life, (the Pullman service excepted, he has a complete monopoly there.) And it is highly interesting to note that this condition does not obtain as the result of mere accident, nor does it obtain because others do not desire to serve in these capacities, but it obtains because our men completely outdistance others in the character of service rendered. For years, others have sought to share with our men the benefits accruing from the Pullman service, not to say supplant them, but have miserably failed. In a single year this company turned down upwards of 4,000 white applicants. I repeat that it is purely merit—inate, or acquired, or perhaps both—that has given the race the mastery in this field. Mr. Ellsworth Stackler, America's hotel king, in a recent magazine article entitled "The Commodity of Service," said: "The sole business of a hotel man is to please his guest. The hotel man's chief asset, and the one thing that the traveling public wants and will cheerfully and adequately pay for is Service." The average Negro trainman has discovered this secret long ago and this fact is responsible for his service on the road being in demand as well as the good support these places give him. This kind of service is the best paying service open to the race. No porter or waiter who is mediumly proficient needs receive less support than $100 per month even in dull seasons. There is a story which runs on this wise. A drummer who after having been served on a dining car, in a most unsatisfactory manner by a surly waiter of another race, took out of his purse a silver dollar and threw it out of the window while saying to the porter: "That is what was intended for you, but what you missed because of your rudeness." It is a praise worthy fact that there seldom arises an occasion to pitch dollars out of dining car windows when our men are in charge of the car. Of all passengers, it is said that the Jew is most fastidious, and it was just the other day. hen I heard one of our men relate how he extracted a meed of praise from one of his guests who was a Jew. In traveling thru new sections, one often finds that he needs a railroad guide, but when one of our men is on duty, in nine cases out of ten, the porter will be the only guide you will need. He can beat the world announcing the next station and transfer points. On some of the Denver trains, the Negro porter is easily the most popular member of the crew. One cannot hear him call out in his distinct, well-rounded musical and commanding voice, "It is against the laws of this incorporation to carry suitcases and heavy parcels in the racks," or announce, "The next stop is Denver. Dont forget your umbrellas, parcels, valuables or pocket-books" without being impressed that he knows what he knows. If he owned half interest in his road, he could not make announcements with greater emphasis. The railroad management has been so favorably impressed with Negro labor that a determined effort is being made to supplant foreign labor on the yard and section by that of our race. This is very evident on the Union Pacific, Burling ton and Colorado & Southern. However, it must be admitted, though with regret, that progress along this line has been made very very slowly, for the reason that our men will not stay on the job. The European war has facilitated the solution of our economic problems in way hitherto unthinkable, so much so that one need no longer seek employment, but employment will seek him. The first duty of every member of the race who is without employment is to secure good employment, and his second duty is, when once landed in a good position, hold fast to it. In more ways than one, these are times of refreshing from the presence of the Lord and happy will we be if we clearly recognize the DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, MAY 26, 1917 CALIFORNIA NEGROES RECRUITING REGIMENT San Francisco, Cal.,—Negroes of California are actively recruiting a regiment. One battalion already has been signed up and it is said that no difficulty is anticipated in forming two more. W. A. Hayne, formerly of the Tenth United States cavalry, in which he served ten years successively as private, corporal, sergeant and sergeant major, is organizing the regiment. Every man in the regiment with the exception of the colonel and lieutenant colonel will be a Negro. Among the men already signed are many who have seen service in Negro regiments. How is this for Patriotism? Camden, N. J.-W. A. Scott walked all the way from Albion to try to enlist in one of the United States regiments, only to find that all Colored regiments are filled and no more Colored recruits are being taken at present. Nor can it be said that these men are inclined to be reactionary; for every movement which looks towards the betterment of the race and community may claim a reasonable support from these men. A Brotherhood has been organized recently among the Pullman porters for their mutual protection, and to be maintained by the company and themselves conjointly, the former to contribute annually $40,000. This organization provides $8 per month in sickness and $1000 at death. There are 76,000 porters in the employment of the Pullman Co., and it goes without saying, that this promises to be one of the big institutions of the race. The railroad service has been a door of hope open to a struggling people in a larger way than is generally recognized. Approximately, two out of every three of our professional men who have been trained in the schools, received the funds with which to complete their education from this source, and a large percent of the members of the race who are homesteading in Colorado and Wyoming, the head of the family is financing the project by staying on the road. The railroad man generally appears well, his linen is spotless and his clothes are well cleaned and pressed and he is generous almost to a fault; for he hates a niggard Well may we be proud of this class of citizens for numbers of them have bought, or are buying beautiful homes, are maintaining their family in a most comfortable way, are educating their children and making a substantial contribution American civilization. NATIONAL CONVENTION OF THE ORDER OF AMERICAN WOODMEN. The order was organized and chartered under the laws of the state of Colorado in April 1901. Home offices are maintained in the Arapahoe Building, Denver. During the past sixteen years, the order has enjoyed marked progress. Its growth and development have been phenomenal. The membership now numbers approximately 40,000, with local camps established in every state in which the colored population and the locations and surroundings warrant. One of the very unique features of the organization is that it operates on adequate rates, being based on The National Fraternal Congress mortality table. This fact, to G. M. WHITE, Supreme Commander L. H. LIGHTNER, Supreme Clerk neth) with the great care and precaution that is exercised in selecting risks has enabled the institution to accumulate a splendid reserve, while at the same time, meeting promptly and in full all of its matured claims. Every adjusted claim to date is paid. There is a special reserve fund of $150,000 for the protection of policy holders. More than $100,000 invested in real-estate first mortgages and municipal bonds, which investments are approved by the Insurance Department of Colorado. Over $30,000,000 insurance written. The valuation report as of December 31, 1916 shows the order to be 112 per cent solvent, which gives a margin of safety of 22 per cent over and above the statutory standard. The order is able to meet the most stringent requirements of all insurance laws. Another feature, that makes the American Woodmen a leader in the fraternal world is its promptness in paying claims. The payment of a claim is seldom later than ten days after death—often claims are paid from one to five days after death. Special efforts are made by the home office to help beneficiaries establish and furnish proof of death in order that their claims may be paid. The technicalities that are resorted to by many companies to delay and sometimes defeat the payment of a claim, are unknown in the American Woodmen. Wherever the Woodmen operates, it holds the record of being the first to come to the assistance of the beneficiary by making full payment of the claim. Since the date of its organization the order has paid practically one-half million dollars in benefits. A most splendid record indeed as to relieving the distressed, and assisting the widows and orphans. This is friendship, charity and benevolence, friendship love and truth in the concrete. The great volume of business handled by this order gives employment to more men and women of the race than all the other fraternals combined. A large force of clerks is employed to take care of the business at the home office. At least one local agent in every town where we have a local organization, and a large number of salaried deputies. All the officers and the entire management of the institution are Negroes; its membership is confined to Negroes—it is a race institution thru amd thru. The order fully merits the confidence and support that it is receiving from its loyal members, field men and local clerks. Its system of monthly payments is teaching the great lesson of frugality, thrift and economy. Its requirements as to systematic business methods in conducting the affairs of the local camp is giving valuable training along business lines. Its business-like methods, its permanent growth and development, its splendid success are easily a tribute to the ability of the Negro to conduct big business, involving intricate problems such as are found only in the insurance business. The American Woodmen is by far the greatest fraternal order operated and supported by the race. The only Negro society that receives mention in the leading fraternal journals. In the city of Denver, the National Convention of the order will be held August 13th to 18th, and doubtless will be the most notable gathering of Race men and women that the FIVE CENTS A COPY. Y. W. C. A. Y. M. C. A. Track Meet at Rocky Mountain Lake. May 30th. Next Wednesday Rocky Mountain Lake will be the scene of the greatest enthusiasm ever witnessed at the Lake. All this week phone messages and letters asking to be entered certain events have been received by chairman Wm. Parks of the Y. M. and by Mrs. Helen Johnson of the Y. W. Loving cups, blue, and red ribbon prizes will be given to the successful contestants. This year has marked a great improvement in the athletic department of the girls, the grade and high school club girls will play ball tennis, hand ball and bean bag besides taking an active part in the other sports. In the "Y" among the boys, a younger set has grown up and the "old faces" who used to win all the prizes, seem to have a slight edge on them. The Y. M. C. A. band and probably the Queen City band will entertain the large anticipated crowd. Refreshments will be served by the Committee. Mothers, fathers, sisters and brothers bring your children relatives and friends and have a good time. Everybody come early and stay late. NEGRO CANDIDATES TO HAVE A CAMP. Washington, May.—A training camp for Negro officers will be established at Fort Des Moines, Iowa, where 1,200 candidates for commissions in Negro regiments of the new army will be trained. A draft of 250 men will be taken from the Negro regiment o regular army, selected from the non-commissioned officers and privates who have shown qualifications fitting them for command and assigned to the new camp. The remainder will come from Negro regiments of the national guard and from graduates of educational institutions for Negroes. Memphis, Tenn. May-Eli Parsons, a Negro, confessed murderer of Antoinette Rappal several weeks ago, was burned to death near the scene of the crime at 0 o clock Tues day morning. A mob estimated at from 2,000 to 3,000 saw the death of the Negro city has ever welcomed. The delegation will be made up of representatives from almost every state in the union, the majority of course, coming from the Southern states. Indications are that the attendance at this convention will greatly eclipse any previous one. Special trains will be provided to accommodate the delegates and visitors.

Sunday morning the Rev. J. Gordon McPherson, D. D., will begin the preaching service in another series of revival meetings to continue through three weeks. Dr. Gordon is a preacher of great power and is being wonderfully used of the Holy Spirit in our section. Both Pueblo and Colorado Springs have been blessed by his vitale ministry. We look for a great outpouring of power and blessing. The 3-STAR MES-May 23 Hen personal worker's clubs are being reorganized and all the working forces of the community are asked to join us in this campaign to reach souls. Word comes to us from both Pueblo and Colorado Springs that it was difficult to give accommodation to the great throngs of both races who desired to hear this matchless California preacher. Some of the leading white pastors in Pueblo with their congregations took active part in the campaign there and gave every assistance possible to get people of all classes to hear him. The pastor is urging the faithful to prayer. We must not --- make the common mistake of depending on the pulpit. God saves when the pulpit and pew are united in action. Those having unsaved friends are urged to send in their names for prayer and personal help. Meeting will begin each evening at eight o'clock. There will be a Bible and prayer conference held each Wednesday, Thursday and Friday afternoon. The key-note of the whole activity is PRAYER. Phone Champa 1059 Rev. P. J. Price, pastor.

Sermon Topics, Sunday, May 27th: 11 a. m., "Christ's Otherself." 5:30 p. m., Confirmation. In spite of the inclement weather last Sabbath the services were carried out as scheduled. Mr. Gatewood very effectively rendered his solo in connection with both services. The Recitative selection of "Who Shall Ascend Into The Hill of the Lord?" by Misses Galena Andrews, Mabel Cole and Mr. Wilfred Brickler, were pathetically engaged in. The choruses were abnormal in their expressions. Both sermons were appropriate to the occasion. The services tomorrow promise to be up to the standard. Special music and sermon to commemorate "Pentecost." At the Confirmation services at 5:30 p. m., Miss Julia Wilson will be publicly received by letter from the 23rd Avenue Presbyterian Church to the People's. Miss Wilson was teacher of Booker T. Washington and wife at Hampton Institute, and Mr. Joe Rivers. After a number of years she established a school at Baxter Springs, Kas., for Colored children. She contributed largely to the educational and evangelical needs of the Colored people. As late as Nov., 1915, she ministered out of the largeness of her soul to the physical needs of Paul Brickou, one of her scholars whom she had not seen for 20 years. At his death Miss Wilson bore all the expenses in connection with this young man's funeral and erected a tomb stone on the grave at Riverside Cemetery.

Each members is asked to bring a new member next Monday night. Y. M. C. A. NOTES. Rehearsals of the "Messiah" by the new choral club under the direction of Mrs. C. D. DeFrantz are progressing nicely. More than fifty were at the rehearsal last Thursday evening. The new books have now come and have been distributed, and the most of the principal solos have been assigned. From now on rapid progress is expected to be made. Rehearsals will be held every Thursday evening at the Y. M. C. A. building until further notice. The Saturday Morning Bible-Story Club of younger boys is doing well. It now has 22 members, and more are joining at each meeting. Theodore Anderson is president of the club. Refreshments are served after each lesson, and a short march is made, after which games are played. In the absence of Secretary Bell, who had gone to fill an engagement in Boulder, the Rev. G. Sterling Sawyer, pastor of Scott M. E. Church, presided at the men's meeting last Sunday afternoon. The address was delivered by the Rev. A. L. Reynolds, pastor of Bethlehem Baptist Church, and president of the Ministerial Alliance. It was greatly enjoyed by the persons present. Miss M. Hanna, of Kansas City, presided at the plano. A flag presentation and a patriotic service will be held next Sunday afternoon at four o'clock. The program will be interesting. Mrs. A. F. Bond will present the flag, which will be accepted in an address by Mr. T. S. Rector on behalf of the Committee of Management and the association. Mrs. Grace Wordsworth, whose husband commanded a battalion of Colored troops during the Civil War, will speak on "Reminiscences." The principal address will be delivered by Mr. George W. Gross on "The Place We Hope This Flag to Fill in the Hearts of Our Young Men." Music of a patriotic nature will be rendered. Miss Vere Ward will be at the piano. Every body is cordially invited.

The colored people of Wilmington, N. C., are indignant over a report recently circulated that the race in Wilmington sympathized with Germany in the present crisis to the exclusion of their own country. It was stated by one of the speakers at a meeting held in Wilmington the last of March that the first three victims of the German submarine slaughter were colored men who died at their post in defense of the American flag. Political Meaning of Race Migration. The number of colored people reported to have left the south since the beginning of 1917 is said to be 500,000. Those who are in a position to know frankly admit that this rapid transfer of so many members of the race in so short a time has a remarkably peculiar political significance. The young intelligent colored man knows that he is entitled to the ballot. He also knows that the south has no legal right to prevent him from casting his ballot for whomsoever he wishes, like other citizens; hence he is following the line of least resistance in transferring his residence to sections where the law is respected and where the law and not the lynching mob rules.

MEANING OF GERMAN PLOT In Scholarly Address at Washingten Prominent Educator Enlightens Coun- try on Colored Americans’ Position In Nation's Great Crisis—Do Not Need Watching, but Want Square Deal. Washington. — Speaking under the auspices of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored Peo- ple at « meeting held in this city on the evening of Wednesday, May 16, on “The Attitude of the American Negro,” Professor William Pickens, dean of Morgan college, Baltimore, in part said: “There is no question as to the Ne- gro's patriotism or loyalty. But the mistake is belng made by a misinter- pretation of the mind of the Negro which is back of this patriotism. ‘The last year or two of the great war have discovered an unprecedented thing— unprecedented exc@pt by the spirit of the Negro himself during the civil war —namely, that America’s Ieast privi- leged and most persecuted class proves to be in a critical time its most de- pendable citizenship. For several sea- | sons now every white man in America has been watching every other white man, but nobody has felt the need of watching the American Negro. To be sure, # false alarm was recently start- ed in the south about German plotting among Negroes, but those of us who know the south knew at once what that alarm meant. It signified not a fear of Negro disloyalty, but a real and genuine fear of the Negro’s grow- ing industrial and economic opportun!- tles which the great war has brought him. ‘This alarm, which in the most treach- erous thrust that has been made at the Negro in recent years, failed. It fail- ed against the solid fact of the Negro’s loyalty, past and present. The south, which has fooled the world about the Negro in almost every other particular, which has made the north believe that he is a characteristic libertine, that he 1s an unprofitabie laborer, that he is un- reliable as a machine operator and that be in an undesirable in almost every other capacity—this historic traducer of our race, after being backed even,by high official “confirmation,” failed ut- terly to stir the blood of the nation with the ecarecrow of Negro disloyalty. Such is the universal and unconsciously ‘acquired confidence in the Negro as an American. But, singularly enough, the peoples who have been highly favored above the Negro are the classes who are now deemed worthy of suspicion—those who have been permitted to buy a house on any corner, who have been permitted to live in any part of our cities, who have been admitted to work im any business or industry, who have not been dis- franchised, but who have'been jubilant- ly naturalized as fresh recruits for the ghost or fetish called “white clyiliza- tion,” the people who have not been Jimcrowed or hanged without trial or burned at the stake (behold, ye gods!) —these are the peoples whom the na- tion watches when the nation's security is threatened. But the Negro, whove ancestry, by the way, was American long before that of the great majority of our white peo- ple and whose record of loyal service has been uniform and unvarying, is the only class upon whom all of these abuses have been heaped, and yet by ‘the reluctant confession of his worst enemies he fs the class of all classes not | needing to be watched. Although the Negro's dependable- | ness is the best attested fact in Amer- toa today, he is the one man not en- | thustastically welcomed in all our great preparations for war. We wish to get along without him if we possibly can, To be sure, we have left the door ajar so that the colored brother can be called, as usual, when sorely needed. Meanwhile some of us are betweep the devil and the deep blue sea. We must either send the Negro to the glory of the trenches in France or we must permit him the gain of becoming further intrenched in our home indus- tries, and we feel that elther trench will have a mighty elevating influence on the American Negro's status. ‘What could be more effective than the Negro in Europe, freeing big souled France, glorifying America and estab- Ushing democracy in the world? On the other hand, what could be of more sold gain to the Negro race in the United States than to be permitted by the Incident of war and the tron law of necessity to work tn the great in- ustries of America and prove that he can do satisfactorily the very things which his enemies have for fifty years shouted and maintained that he could never be relied upon to do? For the Negro it Is a casé of “heads 1 win, talls sou lose!” What the Negro’s | real enemy fears ts not the race's foud- ny other group of men in the world @ Doyal to anything, because they think that their best group interests §re bound up in the thing to which they are loyal. As to whether the Ne- §ro would be loyal if he were absolute- ty convinced to the contrary must be answered in hypothesis by the same anawer which would be given for any ther group of normal human beings. ‘Tbe Negro 1s certainly not loyal to disfranchisement, “jimcrowism” and lynch law, but he follows the star, of America in spite of those evils and with the deliberate intention and fond hope of overthrowing them. In such a situation the Negro must of course continually face dilemmas. He has bad to be a strike breaker to get a Job, be bas had to flee to a separate ‘and Inferior school system to escape ignorance, and he"has bad to dissect fhe body of Christ in order to enter the church and the kingdom of heaven. In the same spirit he would accept = separate military training camp that some of his college trained men might get commissions in the army and serve thelr country more effectively than as qmere “cannon fodder.” It is not strange that in the last named dilemma the majority of his leaders and friends in- dorsed the camp idea, but it is signifi- cant that, while some of his leaders and friends conscientiously opposed it, all of his worst enemies consistently opposed it. Those who favored it do not favor discrimination, but they seized that horn of the dilemma which would leud a future advantage—to gain a height from which they ‘could deal segregation a heavier blow. His en- emles also saw this and opposed it unanimously. ‘This cxpluina the frequent appear- ance of a lack of union among Ameri- ‘ean Neztoes. It is plain to an insider. Tkey are perfectly united in alm and ambition, and they differ only in meth- od and policy. This differencd 1s due to thelr peculiar situation. No other group of people in the round world fs brought oftener face to face with a dilemina, where the cholce Is not be- tween a evil and a good, but between two evils. A choice between evils 1s a more disintegrating question than any choice between an unmixed evil and a definite good. “Which Is the lesser evil?” ‘This puzzling dilemma is at the bottom of many of the appar- ent differences among Negro leaders, whose hearts and souls are perfectly united in ambition and aim and object. The only solution of this difficulty is conference, frequent and widely rep- REE tive conference. Phone Main 33% PROF. W. M.

Fair Attitude of a Northern Publica- tion Toward Our Race. Under the caption “Education and Crime Among Negroes” the American Review of Reviews in a recent issue gave this remarkably fair and logical comment on the subject: *Gertain- mistaken deductions from statistics of crime and education in the south are discussed by Judge Gilbert ‘. Stephenson of Winston-Salem, N. C., fu the South Atlantic Quarterly. “In the first place, it appears that the amount of crime for which the Negro race is responsible has been consider- ably exaggerated. For example, if one counts the inmates of the prisons of this country on any given day he finds that the Negro race. constituting only one-tenth of the total population, is penalized for nearly one-third of the crime, but if he counts the number of commitments for crime during any given period he finds that the Negro race furnishes only about one-fifth in- stead of one-third of the convictions, This difference arises from the fact that the terme of imprisoument of Ne- groes are, an a rule, longer than those of white people “All the available statistics and the unantmous opinion of men in a position to know the facts would seem to be proof that education—elementary or aan ee! or Ilterary—dimin- fishes among Negroes. The alarmingly high rate of Negro crim!- nality 4s as much a condemnation of the community in which it exists as of the offending Negroes themselves. “Having discovered that the Negro school $s at least one institution which successfully combats crime, the com- munity cannot afford to withhold its active fnterest in and generous sup- port of its Negro school. The more money spent in making such schools responaite to the special needs of the race the less will have to be spent on crime. “And if it comes, to a question of cost it is cheaper in the long run to maintain and equip schools—Negro schools even—than police departments, courts, jails, penitentiaries and re- formatorles, for the school properly conducted makes the Negro a greater asset, while the court finds him a la- bility amd nearly always leaves him a greater Mability of the community.” LA See rs PSL ares Rs pers Beas.

Lee, in his article of "Out of One Blood," speak of the actions thru a letter of Miss Wilson, who has just joined the People's Presbyterian Church (Colored): "I am a human being. I do not proprose to be cooped up or shut in in my love and criticism to mere geographical streaks or spots of people on a planet. This planet is small enough as it is, when one considers the height and depth—the starry height and depth—of the human spirit that wavers and glows through us all—Wagner and Shakespeare, Tolstol and Moliere! Though the cathedrals quarrel together and sing praises with siege-guns to their own little foolish national souls, and rain bombs on each other's naves, I take my stand by the great bells ringing in their towers, by the souls of their poets overriding the years, by the prayers and songs of their heroes, artists, inventors, by the mothers and the little children. "We are all in the same world. We are all alike. I will not say of any one nation what I will not say of the others; and I will not say of any man what I will not say of myself." In that spirit the following was written to her pastor: 1545 Pennsylvania St., Denver Colo., Mar. 29, 1917. (Dictated.) My Dear Pastor: Notwithstanding that your time is to make a short draft upon it, in the interest me as connected with my past life. I will make my explanation as brief of your time to read what I may问. In the few personal interviews I I not know whether I have mentioned to with the Colored people for many years. Gen. Samuel C. Armstrong was my great institution, for the Industrial traginia. Later I was a teacher in that Institution the girl he married, Olivia Davidson, who laid the foundation for the interest I I founded a school for the education of Kansas. I continued my connection with the when my advancing years made it necessary. There are now living in Denver and knew me at the time; some of these young man whom I took as a child in my years he came to me here, proving by the acter the excellence of his early training death at County Hospital, with double life made the acquaintance of one Colored This death and burial brought me a ple, among whom, from my long prevailing at home. I feel that I would like to do what little Presbyterian Church. For these above, you will not be greatly surprised Colored race the benefit of whatever last years of my life. Therefore, after some consideration relation from 23rd Ave. Church, to the therefore request a letter from 23rd Ave. Church. I am, my dear Pastor, regretting to still Rev. P. V. Jenness was big enough, request immediately. Before us is a certificate of dism Ave. Presbyterian Church and signed the applicant to the People Miss Julia A.

Why, at this time, at her age, mean so much to her, when surround rather chosen to bear the toil and end and sometimes hated Negro? Has she keen fellowship thru the association of people's Presbyterian church? Was it the acted as a stimulus to her, not only to go there and serve with her presence greater things of endeavor? Has the age of good cheer and real helpful Christie. Miss Wilson, an ardent Bible studie for Negro children in Southern Kansas Is God working out something unknow pears, that not only the members of the lesson, catch a glimpse of the vision and bilities, but that the Negroes in this deeper riches of God's knowledge?

Notwithstanding that your time is more than fully occupied, yet I beg to make a short draft upon it, in the interest of some matters which are dear to me as connected with my past life. I will make my explanation as brief as possible, thinking it will occupy less of your time to read what I may write, than to converse over the phone. In the few personal interviews I have had with you as my pastor, I do not know whether I have mentioned to you the close connection I have had with the Colored people for many years of my past life. Gen. Samuel C. Armstrong was my personal friend before he founded his great institution, for the Industrial training of the Negro at Hampton, Virginia. Later I was a teacher in that Institution. Booker T. Washington, also the girl he married, Olivia Davidson, were pupils in my classes. Those years laid the foundation for the interest I now feel in this race. As late as 1880 I founded a school for the education of Colored children in Southeastern Kansas. I continued my connection with this school until 1896, giving it up only when my advancing years made it necessary. There are now living in Denver a number of persons of that race who knew me at the time; some of these were my pupils. One in particular, a young man whom I took as a child in my school. After an interval of twenty years he came to me here, proving by the honesty and steadiness of his character the excellence of his early training. One year ago he died a painful death at County Hospital, with double leakage of the heart, having previously made the acquaintance of one Colored Pastor here, Rev. Thos. Hazell. This death and burial brought me into connection with Mr. Hazell's people, among whom, from my long previous experience with the race, I soon felt at home. I feel that I would like to do whatever may be in my power to help that little Presbyterian Church. For these reasons, after what I have explained above, you will not be greatly surprised that I feel interested in giving to the Colored race the benefit of whatever my influence can do for them in these last years of my life. Therefore, after some consideration, I have decided to remove my Church relation from 23rd Ave. Church, to the People's Presbyterian Church, and therefore request a letter from 23rd Ave. Church to People's Presbyterian Church. I am, my dear Pastor, regretting to break my cordial relations with you, still Yours very truly, MISS JULIA A. WILSON. Rev. P. V. Jenness was big enough, and broad-minded enough to grant the request immediately. Before us is a certificate of dismission granted from the Twenty-third Ave. Presbyterian Church and signed by the Pastor, P. V. Jenness, who recommended the applicant to the People's Presbyterian Church for acceptance. Miss Julia A. Wilson (white), 1545 Pennsylvania St., is an educator of the last century, when it really meant something to teach education to the down trodden and unfortunate. Miss Wilson is now 80 years of age, yet so gentle, kind, sympathetic, that her very eyes beam sympathy, interest and tenderness due largely to the light rest upon her head and heart of selfish problems of life. Why, at this time, at her age when comfort, ease and contented life mean so much to her, when surrounded by friends of her group, has she rather chosen to bear the toil and endure the pain of unfortunate, neglected and sometimes hated Negro? Has she caught the vision, felt the spirit of keen fellowship thru the association of the members and pastor of the People's Presbyterian church? Was it the success of that struggling church that acted as a stimulus to her, not only to give of her earthly substance, but to go there and serve with her presence so that she might urge them on to greater things of endeavor? Has the success of this church been the ground of good cheer and real helpful Christianity that destroys all prejudice? Miss Wilson, an ardent Bible student, was the active organizer of a home for Negro children in Southern Kansas and for years a teacher in Boston. Is God working out something unknown and mysterious to us, as it now appears, that not only the members of the Presbyterian Church might learn the lesson, catch a glimpse of the vision and then realize our duties and responsibilities, but that the Negroes in this community might be let down into the deeper riches of God's knowledge? This step, while not so usual in some churches, should cause Negroes to have a deeper hold of Christianity, doing the will of our Father rather than ours. Miss Wilson in a close sympathetic way can have a chance to study, learn and proclaim to the world the Negroes' aims, heartaches, ambitions and environmental conditions, which will show her clearly that our greatest and only aim is "to know how." Her association and fellowship will be appreciated, but association and contact which does not carry with it ennobling thoughts, aspiring ambitions and sympathetic spiritual help, are not worth anything to the race. We trust that the step will be helpful, not only to Miss Wilson, spiritually and socially, but that she will never be caused to regret that a chance to serve God in Christ's house is the same the world over, if Christ be present. Rev. Hazell and his church have a chance to teach the world and Denver a true lesson. We wonder if they will make good?

Dear Sir: The Colored citizens of the Great State of Colorado urgently request you and your fellow co-workers to raise your voices in the Halls of Congress in earnest and solemn protest against the brutalities being practiced upon our people, American citizens if you will, by such awful tragedies as that enacted at Memphis, Tenn., on Tuesday, May 22nd.

POWER TO CONSCRIPT OUR LIVES CARRIES WITH IT THE POWER TO PROTECT US Denver, Colo., May 23, 1917. Hon. Woodrow Wilson, President U. S. A., White House, Washington, D. C. Dear Sir: The Colored citizens of the Great West urgently call upon you to use the powers of your high office to bring to justice the principals in the brutal and barbaric tragedy enacted at Memphis, Tenn., on May 22nd. It is almost inconceivable that the very hour when a Great Nation of boasted high ideals is preparing to force an end to the awful carnage and slaughter of human lives in Continental Europe, should countenance within its own doors deeds of atrocity more fiendish than those of the dark ages.

CHRISTIANITY HIS THEME In Matchless Address at the Famous Abyssinian Baptist Church Zealous Young Collegian Declares Colored Race Will Never Let the Stars and Stripes Trail in the Dust. Charles Satchell Morris, Jr., the brilliant young orator, in a matchless address at the Abyssinia Baptist church, New York, Sunday evening, May 13, held an audience of nearly a thousand persons spellbound by his magnetic address. The Rev. Dr. A. Clayton Powell, pastor of the church, pronounced Mr. Morris a greater orator than his illustrious father, a deep thinker and an attentive student. His address was on "Christianity and the Race" PETER H. CHARLES SATCHELL MORRIS, and was declared by many who beard him on other occasions to have been his grandest effort, as he soared high in an oratorical flight and reduced his representative audience to tears. Mr. Morris, who won last year $20 in gold over ten white contestants, who was called a "native born Cuban" by the white press, is the acknowledged leader of the younger set of his race in America by his untiring efforts, his zealous efforts to advance his race in every field of useful endeavor. He said in part: My friends, I wish to say tonight if the colored race in its inner self is pure and consecrated to unselfish interests, if it loves its God, if it remembers the depths from which it sprang, if it knows that "princes shall come out of Egypt and Ethiopia shall suddenly stretch forth her hands unto God," despite what Blease, Vardaman, Tillman, Poe, Dixon or others may say, I want to assure you "that the very gates of hell cannot prevail against us." How proud I am to be colored! How I recollect the deeds of our brave ancestors who lie "moldering in the grave," yet who go marching on in the soul of every ambitious young man and woman! They had the rarest gift of song the world has ever known-yea. their music cannot die while memory holds its sacred station. More solemn than "Almost Persuaded," tenderer than "Nearer, My God, to Thee" and more exquisitely beautiful than "Lead, Kindly Light." Christianity is not a failure. Christianity lives in the souls of men. Thank God for our Christian foreparents, who never saw a school, but "inasmuch as they did it unto the least of their brethren they did it unto Christ." I often think how small man is. I ask myself the question, "Oh, why should the spirit of mortal be proud?" As we look down through the corridors of time mighty men are silenced forever. I think of the mighty Caesar, but Caesar is dead. I think of Alexander, "who conquered the whole world," but Alexander lies buried likewise. I think of the mighty Napoleon, before whom the earth trembled; but, alas, Napoleon sleeps tonight in France! Today, amid the awful curse of race prejudice, we cry again to God, "O God, how long, how long?" God answers in a voice of thunder, "Hold the fort, for I am coming," coming to preach again beside the shores of Gallilee the "Fatherhood of God, the masterhood of Jesus, the brotherhood of man," coming to declare "that out of one blood every nation have I made to dwell to together on the face of the earth." In conclusion may I say "righteousness exalteth a nation, but sin is a reproach unto any people." Thank God for the loyalty of my race to its country's flag." It will ever wave 'der the "land of the free and home of the brave" if black hands of iron and hearts of steel can keep it there. From the time we shed our gallant blood on the streets of Boston till we climbed the rugged slopes of San Juan hill, humming "There's a Hot Time In the Old Town Tonight," that emblem of progress and security has "never trailed in the dust."

Forewarned Is Forearmed — Prove Your Promises by Deeds. The Star knows in no better way for lodges to do their "bit" in this war than for them now to arrange themselves into a kind of a co-operative body that the less fortunate brothers and sisters can and will be taken proper care of when the real famine comes this winter. Our oaths and obligations compel us to look after the widows, orphans and unfortunate members. What better aid, help, support or succer can we give them than by us now looking out for these then or probably ourselves? The churches could likewise form some co-operative union whereby the poor and distressed members who had liberally contributed once to the church, but, for some reasons were either too poor, too sick or were unable to do so now, could be given proper foods by a little forethought, wise business dealings and expert management. The Star offers this plan to the lodges and their auxiliaries: First, appoint two men from each male and two women from the female lodges to form themselves into a large committee of the whole; which committee will lay plans and devise Let Me Grow Y HAVE A PLENTIFUL SUPPLY OF ways and means to buy a carload of canned vegetables, smoked meats and other necessaries of life. The purchasing power of a dollar now will be twice that when winter and fall strikes us. And when dollars are gathered together thru donations, assessments, entertainments, etc., and then used and their purchases equally distributed among the lodges to be there redistributed among the respective members, will show that the Negro is up and doing now. When prices of food begin to soar out of sight, our widows, orphans and sick brethren will feel it first. Let the lodges take the lead, Masons, Odd Fellows, Knights of Pythias and other lodges; let us get together What lodge will lead off by appointing two good men, honest, with experience, and level heads?

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.

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.

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. MUSIC OF SAVAGE TRIBES. Regimental Songs of Colored Soldiers Quickly Learned by Natives. A recent number of the Gartenlaube (Berlin) contains an interesting account of the music improvised among savage tribes. It is these improvizations on the spur of the moment from which the truest idea of the native music can be obtained, since the quick ear of the Negro enables him to catch European melodies from chance contacts, and these rapidly pervade the country and pass from group to group, says the American Review of Reviews. We have long known that Negroes have a particular predilection for music. They sing all the time, everywhere, apropos of everything. It is indeed of very great interest to observe how the art of song aids a race which can neither read nor write to preserve the memory of certain events. Thus there was composed at Stanley Falls a few years ago a song called "O Lupembe," in honor of the major then resident. As surely and as rapidly as the most popular of our own refrains this song spread over the whole extent of the great empire and today the farthest echoes resound with its accents. It is becoming very difficult to recognize native airs with certitude. When the colored soldiers return, to their homes they carry the regimental tunes with them, and their fellow citizens immediately learn these and repeat them incessantly. There is scarcely any occasion when the white man can seize upon an authentic improvization except when one is made in his own honor white on the march. At a certain moment the Negro possessed of the most vigorous voice, whether it rings true or not, commences a recitatif, broken at intervals by refrains chanted in chorus by the entire caravan. The European who conducts the caravan is the hero of the song, and no eulogy is adjudged too magnificent for him. If he is a man of gentleness and peace he hears himself praised as a formidable warrior who has slain hundreds of thousands of men. If he is short and lean he is described as a colossal giant. If he has killed a few wild beasts he is acclaimed as a Gargantua.

AWARDED BY SENATOR JONES Brief Story of Henry Thacker Burleigh's Rise From Obscurity to National Prominence in the Musical World—Rich Trophy is Donated Annually by Dr. J. E. Spingarn. By N. BARNETT DODSON. Washington, May 16. — The third Spingarn medal was awarded here last night to Henry Thacker Burleigh of New York, the distinguished composer of songs, at a meeting in the First Congregational church, held under the auspices of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People. Moorfield Storey of Boston, the national president of the association, presided. The presentation was made by Hon. Wesley L. Jones, United States senator from Washington. The Spingarn medal is awarded annually to the man or woman of African descent and of American citizenship who shall have made the highest achievement during the preceding year in any field of elevated or honorable human endeavor, the candidate being chosen by a committee of award, which includes Bishop John Hurst of Baltimore, Hon. William Howard Taft, John Hope, president of Morehouse college, Atlanta; Dr. James H. Dillard, director of the Slater and Jeanes funds, and Oswald Garrison Villard of the New York Evening Post. The committee's choice is not limited to any one field, whether that be intellectual, spiritual, physical, scientific, commercial, educational or any other. So the winning of the Spingarn medal has come to be the greatest distinction which can be conferred upon an American Negro. The medal is of gold, of the value of $100, and is donated by Dr. Joel E. Spingarn, chairman of the board of directors of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People and formerly professor of comparative literature in Columbia university, who is at present in training for his major's commission at Madison barracks, New York. Henry Thacker Burleigh, the winner of the medal for 1917, is a composer whose songs have for two or three seasons past been sung by a list of prominent singers which would make any composer's mouth water, from John McCormack to Kitty Cheatham. One song, "Deep River," has probably appeared on concert programs during the past season more times than the work of any other contemporaneous composer. And across the ocean Burleigh's "The Young Warrior," with words by the Negro poet James Weldon Johnson, translated into Italian and orchestrated by the great Zandonal, has become a sort of patriotic anthem of the present war. Mr. Burleigh's compositions include about 100 songs, a few festival anthems for church chorus and a volume of plantation melodies, which he compiled in an effort to save them from falling into oblivion. The small group of songs by which he is best known include "Deep River," "The Gray Wolf," to words by Arthur Symons; a superb setting of Walt Whitman's "Ethiopia Saluting the Colors," "The Soldier" and "Jean." "The Five Songs of Laurence Hope," writes a critic in the Boston Transcript of March 10, "probably represent Mr. Burleigh's best work. Here are haunting melodies, accompaniments rich in detail, yet not overwritten, striking bits of delineation and much skill in the wedding of music to words." Regarding "The Soldier," A. Walter Kramer in Musical America wrote: "Wars produce a mass of inconsequential literary and musical stuff. The present European conflict is no exception. * * * But I think that this Burleigh setting of Rupert Brooke's inspired lines will be among the important art products of the great war when the record is made." These creative achievements have necessarily been snatched from a life of routine musical toll, by which Mr. Burleigh has earned his daily bread. Since 1894 he has been baritone soloist in St. George's church, one of New York's old and aristocratic congregations, and for seventeen years he has sung at the Temple Emanu-El as well. These achievements become doubly significant when one realizes how Mr. Burleigh has worked his way forward almost without old, handicapped by color as well as poverty. It is related how Mr. Burleigh as a boy in Erie, Pa., contracted pneumonia from standing in the snow outside the drawing room window of Mrs. Elizabeth Russell, where his family was in service, in order to hear Rafael Joseph play, and was given a chance to open the door for the guests when later Teresa Carreno played at the Russell home in consequence. Working at Erie, Pa., as a stenographer until he was twenty-six, in 1892 he came to New York and out of 500 applicants was given a scholarship in the National Conservatory of Music, where he studied for four years. By teaching singing during his last year there, together with assisting the secretary, the mother of the well known American composer, E. A. MacDowell, he was able to liquidate his indebtedness to the founder of the institution ness to the founder of the institution. During one summer Mr. Burleigh worked at a hotel in Saratoga in order to make enough to carry him through until the following Christmas. But when, in 1894, the young musician, standing upon the threshold of his career, secured the position of soloist at St. George's, in competition with sixty other applicants, his path became much easier. His talent for interpretation of his own folk songs soon became widely known, and he was in demand to sing in concerts and in the musical programs of the leading mansions of fashionable New York and elsewhere. The achievements last year which won Mr. Burleigh the Spingarn medal are but the mature fruitage of a long life of consecrated labor. This is the third year the medal has been awarded. The first was presented to Dr. E. E. Just of Howard university for original researches in biology, Governor Whitman making the presentation in New York. In 1916 the governor of Massachusetts presented the second medal in Boston to Lieutenant Colonel Charles Young of the Tenth cavalry, United States army, for his services in reorganizing the constabulary of Liberia, West Africa. NEW YORK PAPER'S OPINION OF POLITICS IN THE SOUTH Evening Mail Sees Little Progress Toward a Real Democracy. The Evening Mail, New York, recently carried the following editorial under the caption "The Hope of the South and the Nation." At the ballot box the south stands today where it stood half a century ago. It is like a voter who makes his X mark under the symbol of his partisanship and seeks no greater responsibility or activity in the big decisions of his day. He votes his prejudices, and there his interest ceases. In the same way the south subordinates all else to its fixed purpose to control the Negro in all of his activities and to perpetuate its feud against the Republican party no matter in what form or by whom Republican policies are advocated. Every effort under Republican auspices has failed to loosen the grip of the past on the vote of the south. There is less indication of success by that influence today than there was ten years ago. Every one concedes that it is not helpful to the development of the south that it should remain permanently as a sort of no man's land politically, nor is it well for the nation. The south ought to be an open forum. It ought to take its rightful place as a factor in the solution of all our national problems, viewing them in the light of today and not in the darkness of yesterday. We do not mean to say that the south should be Republican. It is as unintelligent to be blindly partisan one way as another. What we mean is that the south should not let the Negro dominate it and shape its destinies as he is doing today. Southern people believe that they are dominating their Negro population, whereas the reverse is true. The Negro may not vote, but he dictates every white vote. It is cast in fear of him, regardless of every other consideration. It is cast against the Republican party because it is the party that gave the Negro the rights which the south is determined he shall not exercise. HAMPTON HONORS CELE. Dramatic Club Presents "Oedipus at Colonel" For South African Benefit Colonus" For South African's Benefit. Hampton institute does not teach Greek as a language, but through the Sophoclean Dramatic club, a student organization, its workers and students see, once a year, a careful and artistic presentation of some fine Greek playa. For the benefit of Madikane Q. Cele (a Hampton graduate) and his work in South Africa the Sophoclean club recently played "Oedipus at Colonus," translation by Sir George Young—the last play written by Sophocles, but the second of the three dealing with Oedipus and his family, the first being "Oedipus the King" and the last "Antigone," which was presented last year. A history of the play follows: Oedipus, for many years a wise and honored king of Thebes, found out late in life that instead of being the son of the king of Corinth, as he had always supposed, he was really the son of the king of Thebes. Laius, whom he had killed in self defense many years before and whose name he had never known. This and other laws broken in infocence so affected his mind that, in despair and self reproach, he put out his own eyes and allowed his kingdom to pass into the hands of his two young sons, Polynices and Eteocles, and their mother's brother, Creon, who acted as their regent or councilor. To gain their own selfish ends both Creon and the sons made the old king's life so unhappy that he was at last forced to leave his native city and wander in other lands. The two daughters were loyal to their father, Antigone, the elder, sharing his wanderings as his guide and Ismene remaining at home to guard her father's interests. Through an oracle of Apollo the rulers and people of Thebes learned that the welfare of their city was to depend henceforth upon the presence either in life or death of their deposed king. To gain this blessing of the gods and at the same time to continue their own plans they decided to bring back the wanderer and imprison him just outside the city walls, where they could control him while he lived and claim the blessing promised to the city that should hold his grave.

PHONE CHAMPA 2962 PATIENT AND PATRIOTIC. John C. Minkins Shows Our Loyalty and the Nation's Shortcomings. The following article by John C. Minkins of Providence, R. I., appeared in a recent issue of the New York World. Mr. Minkins says: The question "Will the Negro fight for the United States?" has been asked. Will the World, the most powerful and consistent friend the Negro has among American journals, permit me to answer it? The Negro is perhaps the most unselfish and consistently loyal citizen in this "melting pot of all nations." He has never sired an anarchist, an assassin, a hyphenate, a traitor or an ingrate, and he has never refused to fight from 1619 to 1916 for his native land. The Negro has taken a patriotic part in every American war—colonial, Revolutionary, 1812, Mexican, civil, Indian and Spanish. He was with Washington at Valley Forge and Yorktown, with Sullivan at the battle of Long Island, with Perry on Lake Erie and Lawrence on the Chesapeake, with Jackson at New Orleans, Scott in Mexico, Grant at Richmond, Miles on the western plains, Dewey in Manila Bay, Sampson at Santiago, Roosevelt at San Juan Hill and Boyd at Carrizal. He was the first to shed on Boston common the lifeblood which proved to be the martyr's seed from which flowered the Revolution. He was first with Commodore Peary at the north pole and last to leave Mexico with General Pershing. You don't have to ask, "Will the Negro fight for the United States?" Ask those who have fought against him. This is our country, and we are among its truest and best tried citizens. We have always refused, and we always shall refuse to even think of this as "a white man's country." It is not only the country of those for whom it does the most, but also of those who love it best and do the most for it. If another war comes—a war we would not provoke—the Negro will be found on the firing line, as he has always been found, doing his utmost that the Stars and Stripes shall never touch the ground in dishonor or be trailed in the dust of defeat. Crowded out of the militia, land and naval; denied the training necessary to officer from West Point or Annapolis hundreds of thousands of the best fighters time has produced, refused the protection at home of the flag for which so much respect is claimed thread barred very largely from the political rights guaranteed him by the constitution of the nation he helped to create and to preserve- rights by which the citizen of a free republic can fully protect his civil and property interests along with liberty and life—the Negro has remained unswervingly loyal, steadfast in patriotism and absolutely reliable in every national crisis. Give him the same chance in peace you gladly yield him in war and he will demonstrate the same high type of worth in civil life that he has always shown on the battlefield against the enemies of the nation, domestic or foreign. Doctrine of Law Enforcement South. Every time a southern white man of the south declares himself in favor of law enforcement he aids the cause of justice and fair play for both races. America first, supported and defended by all of her citizens, is good doctrine to preach, and protection for all Americans alike would but be in keeping with the letter and spirit of the constitution, says N. Barnett Dodson. Don't Let Your Cough Happ On A cough that racks and weakens is dangerous, it undermines your health and thrives on neglect. Relieve it at once with Dr. King's New Discovery.

In the mock conference, as is so generally shown in the real conferences, unexpected failures appeared, untimely successes, the jealousies, bickering and the appointed also were seen in the horizon. Pastors asking for their transfers after doing, much, little or nothing, and some wanting this thing and some wanting that, but all however, bringing some money home. It was a great day for Shorter.
