Denver Star

The Denver Star has the Largest Circulation among Colored People--Subscribe Now ★ TWENTY-SEVENTH YEAR THE STATE FEDERATION OF WOMEN'S CLUBS HAS EXCELLENT MEETING Elect Gertie N. Ross, President "Lifting as they Climb to the Start Through Difficulties." Peeping thru the sun-lit clouds, as yonders radiant sun of effulgent light, reaching up and out, shows itself over yon Western hills, little by little, slowly and steadily, until its full brilliancy is seen and felt in every nook and corner here and there, in some way, somehow and in some place, helping aimlessly things and assisting all creatures of every kind to enjoy life better because of its presence, just so, have our women, since the beginning of time thru tearful and embarrassing struggles, dissapointed, discouraged, lashed and brow-beaten by men, some blindly over the mistakes of others, some with clear and purposeful vision influenced by other's victories, while others neglectful and indifferent—all have thru thick and thin rushed forward their way by degrees toward the summit. Women have in days gone by and are now helping in every way especially during these stirring war times, to shape the destinies and future course of suffering humanity for the uplift of civilization. Women, being conscious of the power of close solidarity are drawing nearer together and a better understanding and a clearer conception of each other's needs and responsibilities are the benefits to them. Less cause for criticism and harsh words, appear and the significance lies in their absence. Thus the Star says that Colorado and Pueblo in particular were made better because our own women's convention met there. The Fourteenth Annual Convention of Colored Women's Clubs of Colorado and Jurisdiction met at Pueblo, Colo, June 13-14, 1917 at St. Paul A M. E. Church. The State President, Mrs. Dorcas Watson presided, assisted by the 1st Vice President, Mrs. J. R. Contee of Denver and the 2nd Vice President, Mrs. Jno. Hines of Grand Junction. The usual routine of business was carried out with an attractive program interspersed to relieve the tedium. The numbers rendered were of such high order as to call for many encores, which were graciously granted. The report of the chairman of Ways and Means and of the chairman of Rescue showed that these departments were below their usual mark, but this, no doubt, was due to the high cost of living. It is to be hoped that next year's report will more than double this amount. The Denver Star ESTABLISHED 1888 Many of the clubs reported new features of a high order, such as prison reform work, canning and preserving, visiting canning factories, baking establishments, etc.,day nursery work and Girl's Friendly Club and also learning club yells. All of these reports were inspiring and show the high moral standard the various clubs are maintaining. The paper, "Co-operation of Parent and Teacher" by Miss Barbour of Denver was MRS. GERTIE N. ROSS Unanimously elected President of the Federation of Colored Women's Clubs of Colorado and Jurisdiction. Mrs. Ross is President of the Y. W. C. A., Chairman of House Com- mittee and Director of the Negro Woman's Day Nursery and Friendly Club; Organist of Shorter Church for 15 years, and Director of the Children's Choir of exceptional merit and received the appreciation it so richly deserved. The welcome address by Mrs. Goode, president of the City Federation of Pueblo, made each and every one feel free to accept the hospitality offered. Each and every number of the excellent program was well rendered and showed evidence of careful preparation. Mrs. Victoria Clay Haley of St. Louis, the National Organizer, was present and made excellent talks. The Art Booth, conducted to raise money for the Ways and Means, and to which each club woman was asked to contribute an article to sell, was a decided success. Mrs. Virginia Gash of Denver had charge of this booth and deserves much credit for her zealous efforts. As this was the year for election the following officers were elected to serve the ensuing two years: Belgium cries aloud to the earth today for sympathy but it took the immortal Sir Arthur Casement, whom England executed on a charge of treason, to tell the shocking story of how the heartless brutal soldiers of King Leopold cluttered the rubber forests of the Congo with the dead carcasses of black men as they fell under the lash and the gun of pale faced soldier murderers of Belgium. Belgium lies devastated today, a compelling lesson in the truth that "Ye shall gather in the harvest what you sow". Mrs. Gertie N. Ross, Pres. Denver; Mrs M. W. Fox, 1st Vice Pres., Colo. Springs; Mrs. John Adams, 2nd Vice Pres., Pueblo; Mrs. Carrie Moss, Recording Sec., Colo. Springs. Mrs. Amelia G. Reeves, Corresponding Sec., Denver; Mrs. Ray, Treas., Boulder; Mrs. Beulah Baker, Auditor, Pueblo; Mrs. Florence D. Cooper, Organizer, Denver; Mrs. T. P. Langdon, Historian, Grand Junction; Mrs. Ollie Hopkins Redd, Chairman Executive Board, Cheyenne; Mrs. Augusta Carriss, Chairman Ways and Means, Denver; Mrs. Maud Macon, Chairman Program Com., Colo. Springs. Today in South Africa, where England reigns supreme and who today says that the German is a dangerous man with a gun in his hand. Today in South Africa black men whose father's father's father lived, labored and died on her sunny hills and in her pleasant valleys are not permitted to walk on the streets with Englishmen, while these self-constituted lords of creation despoil the nature of his wonderful resources of cocoa, rubber, gold, and diamonds. The "Bantu Batho" a native publication in South Africa complains of the inhuman treatment of African women and the native Congress recently protested to the English parliament against compulsory service acts and against the law excluding Negroes from the cities. This same congress adopt (Continued on page 4.) ed a resolution "That the law against cohabitation between black and white, be amended and be made operative against white men so as to insure the protection of black and coloured women." In Uganda, the Congo Central and Eastern Africa, thousands upon thousands of black men and women have died thro starvation and want, caused by the herding in vast compounds of the native population for commercial purposes. And these are the men who come to us in our day and and talk of the Righteousness of Liberty! Truly every one of these unholy nations might be likened unto white sephulchre, which while beautiful on the out side, are within full of dead mens bones and all uncleanness. The history of English rule in India is a story of pilliage the French in Senegal, the Ivory Coast and Dahomy have wrenched from the rights of black men much that was there's of liberty, freedom and happiness. The great English fleets that command the seas today have been bought with the uncompensated labor and blood of black folk. Belgiums ruined cities were built with Leopold's filthy dollars, Germany's standing army has been sustained from a hut tax that would outrage the vilest law in hell: Austria has dealt also in the souls of men and now they turn and carp today to America about Liberty and Justice. Fourteen million of Europe's best manhood is the price that Europe has paid for compelling God's poor and oppressed to serve without just compensation their native land. The hills and the valleys of Europe have been peeled and eroded in the past three years and with striking similarity so the charred and whitened bones of Africa's plundered mutilated million dead is to be found at Verdun today and in Poland also the stinking, bloated bodies of the very men who have reaped their harvest. And now as America joins hands with Europe in this international crisis, we marvel at the words of the President who said at Arlington cemetery: "It is a struggle of men who love liberty everywhere!" Can this be true? Have Europe and America really joined their strength to take from the panting throat of Africa's crying millions the vulturous hands of selfishness? On the dark continent today is the white man's opportunity to prove the sincereness of his purpose to fight for the Rights of Men. The voice of 180,000,000 black men is crying out to be heard in their own government and in their own land. God Almighty decreed that all men should earn their bread by the sweat of their brow and if in this great world war that has convulsed civilization, if the white man will but rise to a point where he will cease to bind heavy burden on other men's shoulders he may thereby remove the thorns of hypocrisy from his expressions about Liberty but "If we have not been faithful in that which is another man's, who shall give you that which is your own." Unloose the Negro and let him go. Untetter him if you really mean what President Wilson's words spell. If America does not, she cannot sow hypocrisy and not reap a harvest of narrow souls, small visions and limited horizons. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JUNE 23, 1917 Facing the Facts. Mrs. Maude Nooks Howard's song, "They'll Be Needed", is really meritorious—pretty and pleasing, doth words and music—and just what our people want to sing, these days. Yes, "Uncle Sam" will pe wanting the "Black Boys", will be needing them, sorely, too, before the war is over, much as he affects to care little for them now. Unfortunately, "Uncle Sam" is in prejudiced Southern democratic hands with the result that the "Black Boys" have been handed some mighty agravating rebuffs and insults for their insistent patriotic and loyal demonstrations. Who knew when this war started that the American Negroes and the black people of the world, thru liberty bonds, Red Cross and thru armed conflict, that privilege and opportunity would be given black men to fight for the liberty, democracy and freedom of Africa and other lands? Negroes of proud Africa's blood, cannot you hear the voice of dark visioned queens crying aloud that you in America leave no stone unturned that shall lessen the chance of million of black women of this earth from being dragged from the depth of hate and contempt and placed upon a plane of self-respect and mutual confidence along with other women of the earth? If thru arms, death, blood and suffering, we must wade to pay the purchase price of this heritage in order to forge the mighty lever to pry open the jaws of prejudice, race hate color caste, let us pay the price gladly! There are no rights without responsibility; let every man take his full measure in this struggle. Write Mrs. M. N. Howard. 1613 Harvard Ave., Columbus, O., for a copy of her splendid new composition. With all of this hue and cry about Liberty, Democracy and Freedom, as we enter the world war, with President Wilson's declaration that America is fighting for the right of the voice of men, with England crying out against the viciousness of Prussian Militarism and the sympathy of crucified Belgium, it is time for Black men to awaken to the spirit of the moment and enter his claim for justice, it is time when we should arouse ourselves and demand that outraged, pillaged persecuted black men all over the earth be released from the bondage of heartless exploitation and selfish spoliation. A "Queen' Pageant'. for the benefit of Bethel Literary Association was successfully directed at Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, Washington, D.C April 24. by Mme. Azalia Hackley. The pageant included 200 actors. By attempting to keep the Negroes out of every gainful uplifting influence, has the tremendous burden of establishing white racial superiority been so manifest in the minds of the Jeffersonian democracy of this administration, that laws and human legislation was necessary to show the divine decree of their self constituted and appointed mastership! Is not this same thing, the very thing that Germany' thru the Hohenzollerns and Hapsburgs, the selection of themselves, as self ordained masters, divinely chosen, that they are trying to establish? The Negro feels his world wide responsibility, he knows his duty and obligation to the dark and yellow skinned brothers, in fact all brothers of whatever skin, who are struggling against injustice, caste and prejudice, whether shown in plutocracy, autocracy or in a democracy. It isn't generally known that with the exception of Liberia and Abyssinia, the whole continent of Africa has been parceled out by the nations of Europe among themselves and that her one hundred and eighty millions of black folk are to day paying tribute in blood for the right to live and breathe in their own land, and this tribute is being wrung and torn from black men by the very nations who today carp about "World Federation" and the Rights of men. Great Britain, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Portugal and Spain have in the past three hundred years maintained standing armies upon the continent of Africa and made of it a hell on earth for black men for instance, in German East Africa the natives who in their poverty live in mud huts are forced by the German government to pay a hut tax of $5 per year, that in itself aggregates millions of dollars annually and it is but a levy, similar or less extortionate, to be paid by all the teeming millions of our dark faced brethren across the seas to men who have no more right to tribute than did the Jew to the blood of Christ. ★ FIVE CENTS A COPY. There is one thing about the South one could admire if it were directed in a better channel and that is its pernicious activity in persisting that it was right and the North wrong in the contest best known as the war of the rebellion. Since 1861 to 1865, the South has won back all that it lost in that memorable struggle except its slaves, and last week celebrated the fact in the capital of the nation with a "national". (sectional) gathering of ex-rebels (confederate veterans) who also marched down Pennsylvania Ave. and to Arlington (the national cemetery where "15,000 men, women and children" were addressed by President Thomas Woodrow Wilson, a southerner, and the rebel leaders, Jefferson Davis and Robert E. Lee, were extolled to the highest. This, too, when the country is busy preparing for active participation in the greatest war this world has ever known. Good Lord! whither is this country drifting? It is enough to make Gens. Grant, Sherman, Sheridan and our great and good friend, Foraker turn over in their graves. Church News CAMPBELL CHAPEL AFRICAN M. E. CHURCH, 23rd & LAWRENCE. A. M.

Sermon Topics: Sunday, June 24th: 11 a. m.—"What Mean Ye By These Stones?" 5:30 p. m.—"Renewing Our Covenant." The Rev. S. F. Kingston, Presbyterian-In-Charge of the Reformed Presbyterian Church, Selma, Ala., passing thru the city from the sessions of the General Synod of his Church held at Sterling, Kan., preached a very instructive and inspiring sermon to our congregation last Sabbath morning. The Hazel Chapter of the Westminster Guild observes a lawn fete with its President, Mrs. Anna Ma Landa, next Tuesday night, the 26th inst., at her residence, 420 24th St. Members and friends cordially invited. Preparatory to the reception of the gospel message by Dr. Kingston last Sabbath morning, the anthem 'Savior of Sinners,' adaptation of Gounod's Ave Maria on Bach's First Prelude, was most feeling rendered. Mrs. Mary E. Tumlin sang the Solo and Obligate parts to the satisfaction of the audience. This particular selection has been rendered for the third time since 1913 in this Church. At no time in the past has the rendition equalled that of last Sabbath. Mrs. Tumblin is famous for her strength of tones. Her expressions under the direction of the director were in a marked degree almost faultlessly made. Her enunciation of the words and interpretation of the song were among her outstanding features. The choir sustained the chorus work in a most even and harmonious manner. Both the Pastor and congregation appreciate such services. The attention of the communicants is again drawn to the Communion of the Lord's Supper to be observed July 1st. Both the sermons tomorrow and that of 11 o'clock the following Sabbath, are destined to focus our shots on this Eucharistic Feast of the Church. Prepare yourselves for this event. Everybody can be seen on Zien's Big Sunday School Pleinie at Deme Reck. P. W. COLEMAN, Sec'y. R. J. CATLETT. Supt. CHAS. S. LIGHTNER, 2917 Glenarm Place.

A jolly good time was enjoyed. The tennis court is beginning to look fine. The reception tendered the graduates by the High School girls was a decided success. A large crowd of Denver's most representative citizens were present. The club is fortunate in having Miss Mable Andrews as their leader. The Grade School girls are preparing to give a Doll Dressing Contest. The date is July 10th. Admission ten cents. All senior members should come out and encourage the girls. That Hike taken by the girls to Ft. Logan via Logantown, is the talk of the girls this week. Atwell Rose chaperoned the girls. Y. M. C. A. NOTES Instead of the regular lesson story last Saturday morning, the members of the Saturday Morning Bible-Story Club went on a fishing "hike" to Manhattan Beach. Several of the boys were "lucky" and caught quite a bag of them. Others less luck caught nothing. Other "hikes" are now being planned for the near future. We were favored last week with a visit from the Rev. S. F. Kingston, pastor of the Reformed Presbyterian church of Selma, Ala. Coming into the city last Thursday he was kept constantly on the "go" by his many friends and former acquaintances until he left the city for Chicago last Tuesday morning. He stopped with Mr. and Mrs. John Kigh, 2417 Ogden Street, while here. Mr. Kingston spoke at our meeting last Sunday afternoon on the subject: "The Southern Negro Exodus—Its Causes and Consequences." A record-breaking crowd was in attendance, and greatly enjoyed the program. The musical features of the program consisted of vocal solos by Master Artistides Chapman, Mr. B. C. Allen of Kansas City, formerly of the Dixie Jubilee singers, and Mrs. Lulu Madison, with Miss Vera Ward at the piano. Rev. J. A. Thomas-Hazell and Rev. D. E. Over were present, the latter bringing Chaplin Gladden of the Twenty-fourth U. S. Infantry, who made a very brief talk. A praise service will be held next Sunday afternoon at four o'clock. The meeting will be opened to all, and will begin at 4 o'clock. GROWTH OF EXTENSION WORK AT ATLANTA UNIVERSITY How a Georgia Institution is Meeting the City Amusement Problem. Atlanta, Ga.-Atlanta university is doing an important civic service in its college extension work by giving wholesome and uplifting amusement free of charge to the colored citizens of Atlanta. The undertaking in one respect is similar to the work done by Hull House in Chicago some years ago when it used the young Greeks of Chicago to present the ancient classical Greek dramas. To compensate for the lack of opportunity to see plays under conditions of self respect in the theaters of the city the teacher of expression gives plays of the best sort every year. On a perfect moonlight night "A Midsummer Night's Dream" was given out of doors. Nature has provided on the campus in a grove a perfect amphitheater, so that many of those who saw these young people so skillfully perform this play said they never want to see it indoors again. Recently near the close of a term's instruction the class presented "Hamlet," also free of charge. The chapel, the only auditorium the university has, was packed almost to suffocation with an eager audience that would have pleased the great master, William Shakespeare himself, if he could have looked into the faces of the audience, and we think he would not have been displeased with the acting. One who has seen the great actors give these plays is inclined to sigh at the temerity of young actors who would attempt tragedy, and the sigh is often justified. Nevertheless many an amateur has been quickened by such performances. In good music, too, Atlanta university is doing missionary work. Free recitals of oratorios and choral classes bring to these people an elevation of taste to offset the vulgarities of much of the popular music. At the recent commencement former President Horace Bumstead delivered the historical address covering the fifty years of the life of Atlanta university, the first Negro college established in Georgia. Dr. Washington Gladen of Cleveland, O., who once before preached the baccalaureate sermon, was one of the orators, and Professor Monroe Work of Tuskegee was another.

TRUSTEES UPHOLD MISS BURROUGHS Wi Motive Up Custody of Training, School, THEY ASK FOR SUPPORT Pass Resolutions In Which They Com- mend President's Cenduct of Nationa! Institution For Women and Girle In Washingten—Latter Celebrates Close of Most Successful Year. Washington.—For months there have been wild speculations as to what would be the attitude of the trustee board of the National Training School For Women and Girls, of which Miss Nannie H. Burroughs ts president, in regard to the Rodgers recommendation. ‘The board met at the institution dur- Ing the commencement and passed the following resolution :+ Resolved, That the trustee board, in res- ular session assembled, declare that they are legally and rightfully the custodians of the National Training School For Wo- men and Girls, Inc., and have no authority to turn the property over to any person or persons. This being the right of this trus- tee board, we think it unwise and unnec- essary to accede to the request of the na- tional Baptist convention submitted at its last seasion, 1916 (recommended by Audi- tor Rodgers), concerning the transfer of the National Training School For Women and Girls, Inc., as the rights and relation- ship of the woman's convention auxiliary to the national Baptist convention are al- ready protected by its board of eighty trustees, as specifically set forth in arti- cle 4. and in bylaws 9 and 12 of the cor- poration. Be it further resolved, That we have im: plicit faith and confidence In she capabill- ty and unswerving integrity of the prest- dent, Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, in. con- Sucting the affairs of the National Train- Ing School For Women and Girls, Inc., and urge the hearty co-operatton of all ioya! Baptists and all others interested in the training and development of women and girla for positions of trust and honor. By United efforts we can here glorify God, build up the kingdom, live up to our sa- ‘cred trust and uphold the high standards already net up at this Institution ‘This clears the sky for the school and keeps it out of the great battle ‘that has been raging among national Baptists for over two years. It was evident from the beginning that nel- ther legally nor morally could those trustees do less than they have done and expect the school to live. The ac- ceptance of the Rodgers “scheme™ would have meant death and destruc- tion to a $75,000 plant that has been built up by one woman in seven years, ‘Then, too, the trustees could not transfer_the property. To whom would they transfer it? Nelther the woman's contention nor the national Baptist convention {s incorporated, sv they ‘claim, Who then would become legally ‘responsible for the school {f the trus- ‘tees step down and out? It does seem ‘that cettain of our Baptist brethren aye lost thelr seapes People are not going to invest mdney in a school that ‘in in the bands of people who are not legally responsible for thelr acts. 80 far as Miss Burroughs 1s con cerned she needs no vindication.

Their ee been Bab Mshed for eight years, and they are simply declaring that the woman's convention cannot reverse itself with- out injury to those who have carried out the provisions of a charter submit. ted, accepted and published eight years ago. The trustecs simply stood up in defense of the trust committed to them. The attendance was the largest at any meeting in the history of the school. Many who could not come sent their proxies with definite instructions that they stood against anything that would Interfere in the least with the school as ‘it now stands, The hearts of the trustees were made glad when Miss Burroughs for- mally turned over a new library build- Ing and reported the purchase of the Chapman place and adjoining property. ‘This addition of over $7,000 in realty and buildings makes 1917 the year of greatest progress in the history of the school. The enrollment was the largest. Every teacher is paid in full. The trus- tees are in debt to Miss Burroughs, but they arranged to start a campaign to pay the faithful, self sacrificing head official. Friends bave already sent in response to an appeal over 8,000 books for the new library. ‘The achool bad al- ready nearly 4,000 volumes.

HIGHEST IDEALS ADVOCATED In Stirring Address teaac Fisher Tells ‘What !8 Really Needed if Democracy Ie te Live and Spread Its Spirit Througheut the World For the Good ef Mankind. By WILLIAM ANTHONY AERY. Hampton, Vn.— Hampton institeee has just sent forth ninety-four yoca- tionally trained graduates to carry the message of “education for service” to colored, Indian and white people thronghout the nation. Principal H. B. Frissell, in presenting the diplomas and certificates, in part said: “We give you these diplomas as a very slight evidence of the confidence we have that in the days to come you will be true to Hampton, true to your country, true to your God.” Dr. Frissell referred to the school's recent memorial service at the grave of General Armstrong, where all bad consecrated themselves anew to the service of their country. “You have caught the vision of the kingdom which is to come,” he said— “the better world which Christ bas made possitie through you; and now, today, you go forth to bear the great ease message of love to all ind. Your oyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord. You have seen great nation§ turning from the selfish rule of autocracy to the blessed and letter rule of democracy, and you, too, are going to help this: na- tion to understand what real democ- racy means. You are going forth to serve this great country.” Isaac Fisher, university editor, Fisk untversity, Nashville, Tenn., in his ad- .dress on “The Rebirth of the World After the War,” in part sald: “When this cruel war is over the task before ‘mankind will be to rebuild the world— to rebuild its wasted cities and to re pair so far ux possible the staggering economic Joss which the great struggle has entaile!. This will not, however, be of major importance by the side of the real task. The reconstruction to “which this world war points with im- perative hand is the rebuilding of the hearts and spirits of men. When the eee ge err aa must do @tter the war, the new teach- ings of home and school and church and press"must be not dominion, not Power, not force, not arrogance, not racial! proseriptions, but the virtue and conquering value of the humble and contrite heart filled with love for all and the meekness which shall inherit ‘the earth. °° * | “You can help make it easier for | democracy by seeking to come into the | possession of common ideals—the high- est ideals. of the nation, those ideals which represent Christ. You can help make it casy by learning the beautiful things that have helped make civiliza- tion grand and glorious Sirah the Fears and by mAking those Ideals your gwn—not ideals of colored people, not ideals of red men, not ideals of white -men, but the Heals of Christignity. “What are some of those ideals? First of all there is righteousness. You can make it easy by standing for the kind of service that makes the good of all the people the highest alm of life. “If this:war ig to prove anything it fs that mem may not hereafter think in terms of race. White people cannot think any more, after this great world tragedy is over, in terms of the white race. ‘The black race cannot think any more in terms of their own little social group. Twexersbody watching on the far flung battle lines of Europe almost all of the artificial distinctions of caste and race have been obliterated. The lesson which burns itself into the con- sciousness of people is that men here- after sball Ive for the one common good. “We must Insist that schools like Hampton, where the Negro sees the white people at their best and where a common meeting ground is established for ail the races, shall be maintained for years and years to come. “I want*Puskegee to remain forever as Dr. Washington built it—manned and conducted by colored men and wo- ‘men and @ monument to their ability and genius; but I want Hampton and achools like it toendure as open gate-, ways to mutual understanding and mu- tual help. “Séo to It that schools of the Hamp- ton type remain forever, where we can get together and understand each other 5 Points Cafe All Kinds of Chop Suey and Noodles Hot Chili Servea SHORT ORDERS AT ALL HOURS 2/21 Welton St. Phone Champa 4016 Terms Cash Lowest Prices R.

PRAISES RACE MUSIC. ee ee eee eee ee mire In Hampton Performances. Dr, Archibald T. Davison, organist of Harvard Memorial chapel, who has been making a study of the music work at Hampton institute for the general education board of New York, recently sang the bass solos in the “Elijah” oratorio, which was presented in part by the Hampton institute chorus, the Hampton Choral union and several so- loists, including Miss Bessie L. Drew, Miss Clara F. Smith and Dove A. Bur- ress, under direction of R. N. Dett. Dr. Davison teaches in Harvard uni- versity, leads a choir of forty men and is chairman of the musical advisory board of Boston. Dr. Davison said: “There is a great tendency in education not to take music as seriously as mathematics and other studies. The benefits of musical instruction are quite as great as those derived from other studies. Mere sing- ing or playing does not constitute mu- sicianehip. It is necessary to learn the fundamentals q pd to acquire the mean- ing of things. fo have musical intell. gence one must begin at the begin- ning. “I bave been greatly impressed with the singing and music at Hampton in- stitute. The devotion to music is very strong. I wish to congratulate you on your music teaching. The plantation ‘inging is very good. It corresponds with the folk singing of France and England. You have the basis for going forward. All music is derived from the folk songs. Learn all there is to sing and to play.” Major Wright as Leader at Savannan. Major R. R. Wright, president of. the Georgia State college at Savannah, was the chief promoter of the recent move- ment which has for its object the con- servation of food supplies among the colored people of that section of Geor- gik, He also advocates fair treatment of the race as to wages and school facili- ties.

Conservation of Food and Other Prac- tical Necessities Taught. ‘Two of the leading addresses at the recent Hampton institute community meeting on preparedness were deliv- ered by Hampton graduates who are supervising important field work among the colored people of Virginia. Miss Lizzie A, Jenkins, district agent in charge of home demonstration work in Virginia, spoke, on “The Negro Farmer's Family.” She said in part: “Fifteen years ago Hampton insti- tute sent one of her graduates to Gloucester county, Virginia, to super- vise the industrial work in the public schools. A few years later, in 1907, the Jeanes fund began to furnish some aid, and four of the supervising industrial teachers were sent out to work in as many counties. This work has spread until now, instead of four teachers and four counties in the state, there are forty-nine workers in forty-eight counties. These workers began with | giving sewing lessons, which wat soon followed by cooking lessons. “Once upon a time it was thought tbat all colortd girls and women knew how to cook instinctively, but it has been found that they have to be taught in the same painstaking way as do girls and women of other races. We have tried to teach them not so much fancy cooking, but how to make the most of what they have right around ‘them. We also teach table setting, waiting and table manners. * “In the sewing classes we teach the ‘girls to cut and make good, practical junderwear, aprons, print or gingham | dresses; to make over old garments, and after they have done thelr plain sewing _well we let them have some fancy work, | such as crocheting and embroidery. | “Our workers, in co-operation with |the Negro Organization society, have sought suitable homes, placed more than 800 indigent and delinquent color- ed children and watched over them to see that they have been treated fairly, given a chance to go to school and to church and thus started on the way to becoming good citizens instead of be- coming paupers or criminals. Some of | these children have become our best | club workers, I went into a Sunday school a few Sundays ago aud found two of the boys ushers in the Sunday school.” : rf John B. Pierce, a Thskegee- Hampton graduate, who 1s district agent in charge of Negro farm demonstration work in Virginia, gave a summary of the progress which is being made by Negro farmers in Virginia. He in part said: “In 1907 farm demonstration work began in Virginia under the supervision of Dr. Seaman A. Knapp, with one agent working in one county with about | 800 farmers. Today there are eighteen | agents working in twenty-two counties, According to the 1910 census, these twenty-two counties have 16,812 farm- ers, and I estimate that 10,000 of these farmers are now being influenced dl- rectly and indirectly to practice better farming and a higher standard of liv- ing. In 1916 864 meetings were held, with an attendance of about 35,000. “The average yield of corn when the work began was about fifteen bushels per acre. Last year it was thirty-three bushels in the territory worked. Some of the yields were as high as seventy- five and ninety bushels per acre. “One farmer in Isle of Wight county during 1915, following poor prepara- tion of soll, cultivation of crop and using $105 worth of commercial fer- tilizer, produced only 540 bushels of corn on thirty acres. Last year he fol- lowed under the agent’s direction good Preparation of soil, cultivation of crop and used no commercial fertilizer and produced 780 bushels on thirty acres, a difference of 240 bushels plus $105 not spent for fertilizer. The land both years was of the same grade and fer- tility. “In 1907 most of the farmers relied upon thelr money crops, such as to- bacco, peanuts and cotton, for supply- ing thelr food and feed. ‘Today about 8,000 of. these farmers are ralsing practically all of thefr home supplies, and a large number are giving more attention to truck crops, such as sweet and white potatoes, navy beans, corn- field beans, cowpeas, cabbages, turnips, watermelons, cantaloupes, pumpkins and even assisting their wives in hav- ing home gardens.

The Denver Star takes this occasion to congratulate our worthy and esteemed citizen, Mr. Alfred G. G.

Mr. Campbell has lived in Denver for over a quarter of a century and has been in the employ of the Bohm-Allen Jewelry Company for twenty-five years. This is the oldest and largest, as well as the most reliable and conservative jewelry store in Denver, or the central West. Mr. Campbell is a man of quiet, retiring and unassuming temperament and disposition and because of his even temper and genial manner, he has attracted to himself many warm and personal friends. As a citizen he is well liked by all who know him and his employers have shown their confidence in him by giving him a much-deserved promotion because of his faithfulness and efficiency. We trust that many of our young men who are employed in many business houses in Denver will strive to emulate Mr. Campbell's example of sobriety, efficiency and faithfulness to duty and win for themselves honor and promotion as well as Mr. Campbell.

Phone Main 1702 SNAIL IS WELL PROTECTED Withdraws Into Shell at Hint of Danger and Tightly Closes the Only Opening. Snails are most interesting creatures and are easily observed, especially if one has an aquarium. The big Japanese water snail, crawling up the side of the glass, shows all its parts, and they are virtually the same in all species. An article in the Children's Museum News describes it as follows: "Above the flat, gray foot is a snout at the end of which we see a mouth opening and closing deliberately like a winking eye, except that it opens laterally instead of up and down. A ribbonlike tongue darts in and out to rasp away particles of plant by means of the tiny, horny points all over it. The eyes are on the little bumps which you see at the base of the horns or tentacles, one on each side of the snout. The tubelike opening on one side above the foot forms a passageway for the water to enter the gills through which this small breathes. "The foot and head of the snail are the only parts of the body we can see, for the rest of it is wound about spirally within the coils of the shell. Now if we tap on the glass of the aquarium the snail suddenly drops to the bottom of the tank, pulling in its tentacles, its mouth, and finally its foot, and tightly closes the opening to its shell by means of a round lid or operculum, of the same substance as the shell and fastened to the back of the foot.

This usually requires no brains, skill, trouble or special aptitude on the part of the recipient. Neither does it involve any obligations of an embarrassing nature. In this respect it has a distinct advantage over getting money by marriage. Getting money by marriage is, of course, tremendously popular and most authorities unhesitatingly recommend it as the best method next to inheriting, but the fact remains that it involves many pitfalls. The wife or husband who brings the money to you may turn out to be considerable of a nuisance and therefore decidedly an- An Irvington professor saw nothing new in some of the machinery of the world war now employed on the western battle line. "Ancient Carthage," said the professor, "used 'tanks.' They differed from the modern tanks in being all alive. These were the elephants which carried castles on their backs filled with fighting men. Protected by armor, these ancient tanks were invulnerable. Thrown against infantry in the open field, no troops could stand against them. When they attacked fortified camps they broke down the pallisades, overturned everything and scattered the enemy in a panic. At the battle of Zama, Scipio, to evade the elephant tank danger, ordered that when the monsters charged they should be hamstrung. No German commander has as yet ordered the modern tanks to be hamstrung."—Indianapolis News. Now the Modern Circuit Rider. The old type of circuit rider in a new guise is coming back. He will return to do church duty in the Spokane country, but will not be known as "circuit rider." He will be "convention pastor" and in place of the saddle horse of his old-time model, will use the passenger coaches or perchance, will be chauffer of his own automobile. The plan is being inaugurated by Dr. A. H. Bailey, superintendent of Baptist missions, says the Spokane Chronicle, and the duty of the "convention pastor" will be to assist weak churches and look after neglected and undeveloped fields. Be Ye Transformed. The apostle exhorts us to be "transformed." The same Greek word is used to describe the Transfiguration of our Lord. A transformed life is a transfigured life. The inward life, if it is healthy and true and strong, will certainly shape the outward conduct and character. Just as truly as the physical life molds the infant's limbs, just so truly will the renewed mind make a fit dwelling for itself. "Be ye transformed." We dream of the transfigured life, the beauty of it, and how desirable it were to live such a life. But how shall we attain it? We are not left in any doubt. "Be ye transformed, by the renewing of your mind." It is the work of the Holy Spirit. The change must come from within, and we must invoke spiritual influences. It is all very well to correct outward habits, but to be lasting, to have any real value, the change must be the result of an inward grace. The Pharisees were most correct in their outward conduct, and Jesus likened them to whitewashed sepulchers which outwardly are clean, within are full of rottenness. The real secret of the transfigured life is the transfused life, having its source in Jesus Christ and flowing into every vein and artery of our being, until we shall be fashioned like the Son of Man. "Life's Demands" Approved For Memphis Pupils. ENRICHES STUDY. COURSE Worthy of Recognition by Any of the Colored Schools of the South, Says Tennessee City Superintendent—It Makes Clear the Relationship of the Two Races in the United States. The superintendent of Memphis city schools recently notified the school boards and superintendents of Memphis, Tenn., that the local board of education, upon his recommendation, had approved the book "Life's Demands," by the Rev. Dr. Sutton E. Griggs, as a supplemental reader for the colored schools of that city, says Sallie Wistar in the Philadelphia Ledger. The notification was amplified by an explanation setting forth this book PETER H. REV. DR. SUTTON E. GRIGGS. marked the first effort by any colored author to prepare a textbook for the colored schools of the country and that the splendid purpose of Dr. Griggs in preparing such a work had his hearty endorsement. Mr. Kincannon expressed his opinion that it should "enrich the course of study of any of the colored schools in the south." The book contains much thoughtful reflection on the characteristics of the Negro race—its deficiencies as viewed from the angle of the white man and of the standards of the white man's civilization. The great outstanding need of the Negro race is a larger capacity for cooperative endeavor, "for it is only through the blended energies of men that the great things of the world are accomplished." If the Negroes had developed a civilization they would have developed social capacities. Now they must be introduced into a civilization created by another race, and this can only be done through training. "A race living within a civilization by the side of a race that wrought out that civilization cannot afford to limit its efforts at education to the things provided by the other race for its own self, for the newcomer must in some way make up for the intervening development." Our civilization having been evolved through the ages and handed down from generation to generation through a continuous evolution of ideas, is difficult to assimilate by an alien race, and the latter requires a special training if it is to adapt itself to the standard and requirements of that civilization. "Deeper processes of education would not be amiss," says Dr. Griggs. For a race to take on the outer forms of an alien civilization without gripping what underlies it is of little value. Haiti, which is peopled by Negroes, borrowed from the United States its republican form of government, but its attempt at a republican form of government is a failure. As a fact, the chief progress of society has been made by concerted action. Herbert Spencer truly said, "Co-operation is at once that which cannot exist without society and that for which society exists." Since the supreme mission of mankind is to develop social efficiency, a race that is weak in its capacity for social service is weak at the most vital point in its existence. It is in the matter of its capacity for collective action that the Negro race has been weakest. After thousands of years of possession of Africa the Negroes have lost all except a very small portion. After all, government is purely a co-operative task and can be successfully carried out only by races which possess social qualities. Dr. Griggs concludes that civic education should enter strongly in the training of Negroes in the colored schools. Dr. Griggs says that it is recognized among the Negroes of America that "they cannot stick together." In a certain southern state out of fourteen Negro banks established thirteen have collapsed, and he enumerates similar notable failures in other lines of organisation work, all due to this incapacity for organization inherent in the race—this social inefficiency.

NEGROES, STUDY THIS PICTURE. THEN ACT. The Star prints the above lesson in order to convince some of the most skeptical Negroes of Denver and Colorado, as well as elsewhere, what it will mean for ten millions of Negroes whose minds, hearts, objects, purposes, ambitions and work are doggedly set up on one certain thing—elimination of all caste, prejudice and inequality for every one—or certain things of uplift to humanity, and what a unified action can do. This lesson applies to Negroes who patronize others than their own in business, even if you or they don't like the man or men running in business. Patronize him or his competitor of color. Every nickel taken from the business and professional man of color only weakens him and strengthens the chains of prejudice and unfair competition upon your necks, besides helping the race who least need your CLEAR AWAY THE WASTE Bowel regularity is the secret of good health, bright eyes, clear comat that regulates the bowels and relieves evasive ointment and mild pain.

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.

I'M GOING TO FIGHT FOR DIXIE LAND AND DEAR OLD UNCLE SAM. Pinchback's Eightieth Birthday Celebrated in Washington. ACHIEVEMENTS RECALLED. Speakers of Note Tell What "Last of the Old Guard" Has Done For the Uplift and Encouragement of His Race Long List of Offices Held by Guest of Honor. By R. W. THOMPSON. Washington.—Two hundred members of the race, representing the flower of American manhood, participated recently in a delightful reception and luncheon at Odd Fellows' hall tendered to former Governor P. B. S. Pinchback in commemoration of the eightieth anniversary of his birth. The occasion is conceded to have been the most notable of its kind ever held in the nation's capital. The direction of the affair was in the hands of a committee headed by Judge Robert H. Terrell, chairman; R. W. Thompson, corresponding secretary; P. HON. P. B. S. PINCHBACK. W. J. Singleton, financial secretary; J. Finley Wilson, recording secretary; and John T. Howe, treasurer, supported by auxiliaries for various departments of the work. Judge Robert H. Terrell of the municipal court of the District of Columbia acted as master of ceremonies and set a warm pace at the outset by his wit, humor, ready grasp of situations and felicity of utterance in introducing the various speakers. The race's only judge of a recognized court enjoys an enviable reputation throughout the country as a toastmaster and added new laurels to his brow on this occasion. His opening speech and tribute to Governor Pinchback was a gem of personal appreciation and a reservoir of historical lore worthy of preservation in pamphlet form. The addresses which, followed were pitched in one key—that of veneration and respect for the "last of the old guard," a hearty recognition of the great work he has done for the upfit of his people, a sympathetic appreciation of the countless sacrifices he has made in his battle for our constitutional privileges and equality of citizenship as 100 per cent Americans. His constructive labors as a soldier in the civil war, his proud record as the chief executive of a sovereign state, marvelous in the light of more recent events—his election to the legislature of his great commonwealth, then his victorious campaign for the post of congressmen at large, and finally his brilliant dash for the United States senate, to which he was fairly and squarely elected—all came in for exhaustive and laudatory review. His telling services to the race in other federal positions, such as surveyor of the port at New Orleans and as a special agent for the bureau of internal revenue and member of the New Orleans board of education, were also given prominence. Not only this, but his sturdy allegiance to the organizations that contended for the civic advancement of the race, such as the National Afro-American council, was extolled. The thrilling story of his sensational race with Henry C. Warmoth, a claimant for the Louisiana governorship, was told amid cheers. The response of Governor Pinchback to the mountain of encomiums that has been heaped upon him was tender, gracious and in a vein of the profoundest gratitude. He said he had simply tried to do his duty as he saw it. He had made his record and must stand or fall by it. There had been times when he had felt that much of his labor had been in vain, but the corollary good will and hearty appreciation expressed on this occasion had shown all such forebodings to have been unfounded, and from now on he would take on a new inspiration—a vigor of spirit's mind and body. He regretted that his advanced age prevented him from again taking up the cudgels for his people, for the present crisis, with its new problems, is of that will require the best energies at highest capacity of every man to be. He looked for the Negro to "come back in the early future and that from stress and storm of the battle before a leadership will be developed that will lead the hosts onward to even great victories than those of the past.

Address THE DENVER STAR, 1026 Nineteenth Street, Denver, Colorado GOT JUSTICE ON TRAIN. Howard Found Seats For Fellow Passengers in Spite of Discrimination. Montgomery, Ala. - Knowing one's rights in a matter and firmly insisting upon them will often get for a black man in the south consideration usually denied as a matter of course. Such was the experience of C. E. Howard of Jacksonville, Fla., president of the National Negro Travelers' Protective association. Coming to Montgomery from Pensacola, Fla., Mr. Howard relates this incident, which happened on one of the fast trains of the Louisville and Nashville railroad: A large number of people, more than sufficient for the usual accommodations on this line, converged at Flomaton, which is a junction point, and boarded the northbound train. Most of the people were going to northern sections, but all the discomforts of a crowded train were sure to prevail as far as Montgomery, a distance of more than a hundred miles, and probably as far as Birmingham, another hundred. After all the women were seated who could find seats eighteen persons were left crowded in the aisle of the compartment allotted to colored passengers. No effort was made by any member of the crew to secure seats, although there were only three white passengers in the adjoining compartment allotted to white smokers. Mr. Howard approached the conductor at the first opportunity with reference to finding seats, when that worthy asked what there was for him to do in the matter. Howard replied that room might be made in the white smoker since it was not fully occupied and that it was supposed that the Negro passengers were to have equal accommodations. He pointed to the fact that many of the passengers had already come long distances and were going still farther. The conductor, although surly, made room in the smoker for the eighteen who were standing, and before reaching Montgomery that compartment was completely filled with Negro passen- gers. The usual method when any room is made for them at all under such circumstances is to make Negro passengers ride in the "baggage coach ahead." PICKENS IS IN DEMAND. Many Organizations Seek Professor's Services as an Orator. The laymen's missionary movement of the United States and Canada is to be congratulated upon its good fortune in having as one of its chief speakers Professor William Pickens, dean of Morgan college, Baltimore, who delivered a most scholarly and instructive address at the meeting held at Roanoke, Va., the early part of June. Professor Pickens' subject was "New World Conditions a Challenge to the Church." It is indeed gratifying to the race particularly and the public generally to note the liberal amount of time and thought which Professor Pickens so willingly devotes to the many great movements for the good of the members of both races. Following the laymen's series of meetings Professor Pickens spoke at a large gathering at York, Pa., on "The Negro and the Present Crisis." His views on these timely subjects are given serious consideration. After hearing the speaker at one of the above meetings a man said, "Mr. Pickens is not only a level headed man, fine scholar and gifted educator, but he is also the dean of young Negro orators in the United States." On Friday, June 15, Mr. Pickens spoke in Philadelphia under the auspices of the Armstrong association. On Wednesday, June 27 he is to speak at Atlantic City, N.J. at the Epworth league convention. Professor Pickens will wind up his speaking tour on Sunday, July 1, at Harper's Ferry, W. Va., where he will deliver one of his great educational addresses at one of the sessions of the Epworth league institute. His services are in great demand, and any organization or institution which is fortunate enough to secure his services deserves a high compliment. NOTABLE YEAR'S WORK AT THE ABYSSINIAN CHURCH Widely Known Baptist Corporation Raised $25,174.53, Report Shows. New York.—The fiscal year of the Abyssinian Baptist church, New York city, Rev. A. Clayton Powell, D. D. pastor, ended in May. The reports at the annual corporate meeting showed that this religious real estate corporation reached the high water mark of its financial prosperity last year. During the past twelve months the corporation raised from all sources $25,174.53. The church offerings alone totaled $12, 093.36, or a little over $1,000 per month; $10,000 was paid on the principal, and the secretary of the trustee board reported a balance on hand of $6,089.74. When Dr. Powell took charge of the congregation eight years ago the corporation owed $150,000, and the membership was very much divided. It is now one of the best organized churches in the country, and the indebtedness has been reduced to $124,000. This church is widely known for its benevolence. During the year just ended the following amounts were given through the trustee board: Education. $249.25; foreign missions, $179.37; home missions, $501.00. In addition to this, benevolent work was done by the following auxiliaries: Board of deacons. $256.00; Sunday school, $50.25; B. Y. P. U., $45; female ushers, $18; male ushers, $15.50; Sunday morning band, $24.83. The Highway and Hedgen society gave to needy children and adults 1,132 pieces of clothing, sixty-nine pairs of shoes, fifty-seven hats, $71.27 is money and served a turkey dinner on Thanksgiving day to forty-eight children. The Missionary society sent out ninety baskets of food during the year to poor families and assisted others in cash with $181.99. There are six young men of this church studying for the ministry—one at Virginia seminary and five at Union university. Dr. Powell pays the entire expenses of one of these young men from the sale of his sermons, and the church helps all of them. ENCOURAGE RACE ARTISTS. Let Poets and Musicians Know Their Efforts Are Appreciated. New York.—Mrs. Minnie Waller French, the talented daughter of the late John R. Waller, sometime United States consul at Madagascar, has written a clever little sketch, musical and literary, entitled "A Meeting of the Young People's Improvement League," the object being to popularize the musical and literary productions of Negro composers and authors. At the invitation of Ye Friends of Shakespeare Mrs. French and her company of clever young ladies appeared before that organization in its hall in the Lafayette building, New York city, recently and presented the sketch to the infinite delight of a large and appreciative gathering of the society and its friends. The novelty of the program rendered, the high character of the number given by each participant and the excellence of its rendition evoked the highest commendation from the audience, and the society critic, Egbert Figaro, praised the ladies taking part in it, saying that he had been made prouder than ever of being identified with the race in being permitted to listen to a program of such excellence and rendered by members of the race in such a creditable and thoroughly interesting manner. Mrs. French is a popular New York vocalist and possesses a voice of unusual purity and sweetness. Following is the sketch given under her able direction. Doubtless Negro literary societies, churches and Sabbath schools will see in this program a suggestion worth considering in future. Instead of using poems, prose and musical selections of white authors, they will select the best productions from the pens of Negro authors and thus inspire the younger generation to aspire and at the same time be teaching the masses what the race has accomplished along these lines. The sketch is staged to represent a meeting of the Young People's Improvement league. The meeting is held in the home of one of its members. Characters—President, Mrs. Mays; secretary, Miss Best; pianist, M. Waller; honeymoon; scene—Sitting room of hostesses at whose home the league is holding its weekly meeting. Musical numbers—"The Negro Hymn" (chorus), Handy: "Dreamland," Burleigh: "If I Forget," DeKoven Thompson; "Who Knows?" Dunbar: "Devotion," J. E. Bruce; "Since You Vent Away," J. Rosewood; "You Tone Loud, Pleasant to Sleep," Johnson: "I Think of Thee," Handy; Ode to Harriet Tubman (chords), M. Waller French; "Only a Dream of That Beautiful City," Kelley; Rio Grand Waltzes, Resina Harvey. Literary numbers—Sketches from the pen of John E. Bruce (Bruce Grit) on the book in In Musical Works; short sketch of the life of S. Coleridge Taylor and honorary mention of the accomplishments of the late Harriet Tubman. Closing chorus-"Good Night," juvenile choir. Men make circumstances; circumstances make duties, and duty is destiny.

Emancipation Celebration at Colorado Springs by Denver excursionists. Watch for particulars. Remember the Annual Picnic of the Church of Redeemer, July 12. Children's Day was fittingly observed at Scott M. E. church Sunday night. Dr. Hayes, president of the George R. Smith College of Sedalia, M., and brother of King Hayes, deceased, made an excellent talk. Mrs. Ida Flemings and daughter, Cassie, are at home on Marion St. to spend the summer months. Arthur May is expected in ten days from the East. The brilliant and funny theatrical stars, Goines and Anderson, are playing at the Tabor this week to crowded houses. Remember the Douglas Oil meeting at 2735 Welton St., Tuesday, June 26 APPOINTED TO REPRESENT THE COLORED WOMEN. Mrs. Isabelle Stewart was appointed by Mrs. James B. Grant as Chairman, to organize the women of Color Into a Public Service League, which has nothing to do with any war councils, but which is an independent body working by itself. Mrs. Grant is the State President and great hopes and expectations are looked forward to the first meeting and organization of this body. Why cannot our women, by and thru themselves, have a big patriotic meeting, every woman "doing her bit"? We hope that our women can and will see that this war means the pushing into the world's problems and making the Negro a citizen of the World and not merely America. Hattti, Africa, South America, Liberia, West Indies, Japan, Chinese, Madagascar and all black people and colored are seeking the world's recognition. Join the club and study the war's possibilities. Orders taken for artificial flowers in paper for, all occasions, weddings and parties a speciality. Mrs. Goldie West, 522 30th St. Champion 2014. 4t-6-9-17 Scott M. E. Church heard one of the best lectures touching the future of the Negro ever given in the city, by anyone at any place. He told of the Negro's history and his vital connection with the happening of every important event and the providential "Why" certain millions of black men were placed in the isles of the sea, South America, North America, and in Africa, all leading to the big question of forcing the black man to become a citizen of the world. America is too small, her horizon too narrow to limit the wonderful possibilities of the coming black man. Dr. Hayes is a learned scholar, a keen observer and a race philosopher, studying and carefully interpreting human events and history. He left for Colorado Springs for a short visit. The Star invites Dr. Hayes to return to Denver. John Allen, Boulder, Colo., Ollie ARRIVALS AND REGISTERED AT THE DUNBAR HOTEL, WEEK JUNE 18. Keys, Boulder, Colo. A. C. Burton, Denver, Wm.
