Denver Star

The Denver Star has the Largest Circulation among Colored People--Subscribe Now COLORED OFFICERS IN THE ARMY. A suppressed storm of excitement has been threatening in the ranks of the 15th Infantry (colored) over two or three incidents occurring during the last week. The first and only one of these that has become public is the resignation of First Lieutenant Chas. E. Toney, one of the pioneer moving spirits of the regiment and recognized as one of the leading colored lawyers at the New York bar Mr. Toney, it is said on high authority, offered his resignation on Tuesday June 12, to Colonel Hayward. His friends state that he was promised last July during a conference between the Colonel, himself and Captains Fillmore, Parks Findy, that he, with the others, could have any position in the line. Things drifted along, it is said, until last October, when Colonel Hayward refused point blank to nominate him for any thing but second lieutenant. After his examination for second lieutenant he was then nominated for first lieutenant. He was kept waiting until Feb. 13 without duty altho at that time there were several companies without officers. White men who had not taken the examinations were assigned, it is said. By April 3 all these white men were immediately promoted and the patient, obedient colored lieutenant was still waiting. He was then assigned to Captain Fillmore's company after his company command was taken from him, notwithstanding the Colonel's promise that he with the others would always command their companies. It is also stated authoritatively that Mr. Tony will bring court proceedings to test the legality of the appointment of white officers to the 15th, which Governor Whitman is alleged to have said that he has organized under the Sulzer law which authorized the Adjutant General to recruit a colored regiment. This, it will be contended; has not been followed since a part of the regiment (officers) are white. There has slumbered dissat isfaction in other quarters of the regiment, it is said, since it has been discovered that the Colonel is favoring only those not opposing his white officer policy. This is notable, it is said, in the appointment of the men as candidates who went to the Des Moines camp. The enemies of the Negro Army officers in Michigan and Pink Tea Party Patriotism has caused the appointment of Albert Ross, Law'17 University of Michigan to the Des Moines Training Camp for Negroes to be indefinitely postponed. Thus, ignorance prejudice and intolerance triumphs over the Negro patriotic preparedness and performance. We also learn that Dent, the brilliant collegian of color, after being appointed by the War Dept. has had his appointment recalled. The Denver Star ESTABLISHED 1858 Number 195 COLORED MEN AND WOMEN IN THE NORTH. The demand of certain lab or leaders that Negroes be prohibited from coming north is a demand for serfdom. The federation wants the Negro to be treated much as the Russian serf was treated, compelled to stay on the land. That is what the thing would amount to. The south probably would welcome the legislation. It finds that its economics rely upon the Negro labor. If the Negro is tempted north the south suffers, or will suffer labor shortage. Knowledge of this is bettering the Negro's lot in places where it has been unenviable and economy seems to be working toward a solution of the question. Conditions of employment are none too good for the Negro in the north now. There are forces superior to legislative acts at work.—Chicago Tribune. HOW WE CAN HELP THE SOUTH While we, as colored citizens, must keenly appreciate the sorrows and sufferings of our brethren of the South; while we must ever protest by word and deed against the industrial, civic and political persecution meted out to them we must remember that we of the North can best help our brethren of the South by helping ourselves, by making friends and helpers of our white neighbors here. As we marshal our strength here, as we are decent, quiet, orderly citizens here, as we buy homes and property, succeed in business and grow strong in the faith in ourselves; as we get united power here that is respected, as we win influence by our worth and work, in that measure we will be helping ourselves and those of the South We can thus not only request but demand that our representatives from here at Washington stop the measures aimed at the race and the cruel proscription of the South. We in the North can and must be the lever to pry off the lid of persecution from the burdened backs of the race in Dixie. We in the North must continue to accommodate the hundreds of thousands of black folk that are going to continue to come from the Southern States until lynchings and burnings stop and justice reigns supreme. We must be strong here to help those who are weak there—N. Y. News.

The Overhanging Menace. Segregation Goes to Seed, Blossoms Into All Walks of Life. Labor Union Cites Government's Approved Jim Crowism. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JUNE 30, 1917 BY MANAGER G. E. EMMONS. "It is contrary to the policy of the company to take any action detrimental to the best interests of its employees, but it will tolerate no discrimination against any worthy individual on account of nationality or color. The management believes that every person should be given an opportunity to improve his condition, which the young man is trying to do." BY JOSEPH LEFKOWITZ, (A Striker.) "We ask no more than the United States Government. This nation has several regiments of Negro soldiers. It is known that these Negroes are not allowed to frequent the same recreation grounds as the white soldiers, nor are they in any manner allowed to mingle with the whites. What this government sees fit in practicing we feel justified in demanding." Demanding that the color line be drawn in the large plant of the General Electric Company here the same as the United States practices segregation in the army, 2,500 machinists and toolmakers went on a strike Monday, said to be one of the most peculiar labor strikes on a record in this section of the State. The color issue was created when a young colored man—Wendall King—was put to work in the machine shops of the General Electric Company. King is of a good family in upper Troy, N. Y., and was graduated from the Lansingburg High School in 1916. He entered Union College, Schenectady, last September, and soon attracted attention as an excellent in wireless telegraphy and French. It is not that the Union men are opposed to the firm employing colored men, but it is opposed to white and colored working together. The officials of the General Electric Company oppose segregation; hence, the strike is likely to be a protracted one, as the heads of the company have shown no disposition to withdraw from their position. The General Electric Company employs six Negroes in the office, two in the shop and a hundred or more in the yard. But not until a few days ago did a Negro ever work as a machinist. Then the question of the separation arose. Incidents in Connection With Strike. The Schenectady Union-Star, in giving an account of the strike in its news columns under the headline, "Machinists Demand Same Color line in G. E. Plant as exists in U. S. Army," gives the following facts: "It was 9:15 when the walkout orders were issued to the machinists by the union officials, and they gathered in front of the office building until every man who intended to walk out, was present. Orderliness characterized the meeting, and as soon as all were ready, the signal was given, and the parade started with a cheer. A dozen or so young girls followed the leader who carried an American flag. "Work on the upper end of the plant was practically suspended as the men walked out, everybody gathering to see the parade. "George E. Emmons, general manager of the plant, watched the men leave the plant from his office window "Leaving the General Electric gates, in River road, the strikers paraded up Dock street and turned into State, where the march continued up to Crescent Park. In a few words Mr. Lefkowitz laid the situation before the men. "We are here,' he said in opening,' to discuss the matter in the quietest manner possible. While we are out for our cause we must conduct ourselves in an orderly manner. The machinists' organizations of Schenectady are now on strike, the issue being drawn on the failure of the General Electric officials to grant us the right of presenting at any time a request through a grievance committee. We have given them fair warning. The ultimatum was forwarded Saturday thru the same mail that the officials receive their other letters. There was no response and our action could lay in only one direction. "Do not lose sight of the fact that we are fighting, not on the grounds of race prejudice, but on the grounds of moral convictions' "The speaker went on to explain that the real issue of the strike was the employment of one Negro, who was put to work under the jurisdiction of the machinists organization, which act is contrary to the laws of that organization, he said. The organization does not ask that Negroes be refused ems ployment,but simply that they be employed separate and apart from white workers. "We are not unfair in our demands,' said Mr. Leftkowitz, in ending his address. 'We ask no more than the United States Government. This nation has several regiments of Negro soldiers. It is known that those Negroes are not allowed to frequent the same recreation grounds as white soldiers, nor are they in any manner, allowed to mingle with the whites. What this Government sees fit in practicing, we feel justified in demanding." Company officials claim the issue to be the employment by the company of a young colored man. According to Mr. Emmons, Wendall King is a student at Union College and was recommended by the faculty with twenty-five or thirty other young men in the college as being a worthy boy to aid in securing a college education. The young man was put to work June 8, and is at present employed in building 23 operating a drill press. The first intimation of any dissatisfaction, he said, was last Tuesday afternoon when a committee of machinists protested against the young man being longer employed in the capacity of nachinist. Mr. Emmons contends a committee of the machinists practically demanded that the young colored man be taken off that work to which Mr. Emmons replied that he could see no reason for establishing a color line He told the committee that the young man was a college student and worthy of being aided. Mr Emmons Believes in a Real Democracy. Mr. Emmons left his office last Tuesday night when he received the ultimatum of the union. The ultimatum was decided on a meeting of the union Friday night and said in part: "We take this means of notifying you that the machinists demand that the management recognize the machinists committee and that Negro labor will not be employed under the jurisdiction of the machinists." and was signed by Joseph Lefkowitz, William Hogan, W.L. Sargent, W. Walker and E Cooley. There were about 2,500 machinists who left the works this morning, practically all the machinists employed by the company, and many of them were busy on government work. Just what effect, if any, this will have with the small businesses in New oral History Saving government officials could not be determined to-day. When asked if he thought the government would step in and take a hand in the matter,Mr. Emmons said he did not know, and has hardly given the matter a thought. All other branches of work continued as usual after the machinists walked out. In a formal statement Mr. Emmons expressed himself as follows: "It is contrary to the policy of the company to take any action detrimental to the best interests of its employees, but it will tolerate no discrimination against any worthy individual on account of nationality or color. "The management believes that every person should be given an opportunity to improve his condition which the young man in question is trying to do."—N. Y. Age.— Among the most irritating and almost unendurable conditions to which Negroes are subjected are the Jim Crow Cars, Residential Segregation and Labor Segregation Laws of various Southern States. Residential Segre gation agitation now rife, seeks to force Negroes into certain townships or districts in the rural districts. These laws, when applied, will simply mean that whatever portion of any city is most undesirable will be open for Negroes for residential purposes; he will not be permitted to exercise his choice as a free man in buying a home, nor will the party who made, like to sell the home he may desire, be allowed to exercise his choice in selling property owned by him to the person willing to pay his price. The same is true of Rural and Industrial Segregation; the Negro will be pushed into the swamps and worked out sand hills when rural segregation laws are passed. The viciousness and injustice of laws of this character readily reveal themselves when examined. Industrial Segregation in the textile mills of South Carolina wherein Negroes and whites are prohibited from working in the same room at the same time. If Negroes and whites can be thus prohibited from working in the same room, the prohibition can be extended to prevent them from working together in or on the same building, in banks, as porters, or driving delivery wagons, or as window washers in any building where there are white workers, as well as in hotels, railway stations, trains and barber shops. Thus, segregation only forbids Negroes from working at an occupation where white men want the job. Is this not segregation and Jim Crowism going to seed and blossoming against the Negro in every walk, vocation and livelihood in this life of extreme competition?—Editor.

Gwynne, Mrs. Carrie Little, Mrs. Elinor Brown, Mrs. Samyra Owens, Mrs. Edith Ramiah, and the Misses Beatrice Thrashley, Lena Lewis, Rebecca Smith, Darline Rease, accompanied also by Chaplain Gladden, returned Monday afternoon, reporting the most pleasant and harmonious session in the history of the work. The program rendered by the messengers was of the same high quality as has been enjoyed for the past few years, but augmented by the presence of Dr. James Kelly, field secretary of our Foreign Mission Board; Chaplain Gladden and Dr. J. Gordon McPherson, whose daily addresses gave inspiration and vision of much quality as to send the workers homeward in the resolution to give themselves to the Kingdom's interests as never before. The financial offerings to the work reached nearly $300, making a total for the past year of about $700. The reports showed a great Baptist advance during the past year, almost every church having enjoyed an unusual season of evangelism; the num- ber of souls baptised during the year was over three hundred. Brother Wallace from Trinidad reported the completion of a beautiful church house at that point and extended the invitation of the St. Paul's Church to the Association to meet with them in its annual session in June, next year. The invitation was accepted by unanimous vote of the messengers. BETHLEHEM BAPTIST CHURCH 3148 Lafayette street. Phone York 7647. A. E. Reynolds, pastor. B. Y. P. U., 7 p. m.

Children suffering from worms are dull and irritable, puny and weak, often grind their teeth and cry out in sleep, being a constant source of worry to their parents. Kicklepoo Worm Killer is a mild laxative remedy in candy tablet form that children like to take. Promptly effective, it kills and removes the worm from the system. Irregular appetite and bowel movement, lack of interest in play are sure signs of worms. Believe your child of this burden. At all druggists, 25c.

Inasmuch as our thoughts as a nation are now turned in united purpose towards the performance to the utmost of the services and duties which have assumed in the cause of justice and liberty and inasmuch as but a small proportion of our people can have the opportunity to serve upon the actual battlefield, but all men, women and children may serve effectively by making it possible for those who serve under arms at home and abroad, therefore, let every Negro give one dollar toward saving and keep saved some poor mother's son or some sister's brother, or some girl's father. This is as vitally necessary to the army as is food to the soldiers. Let every Negro boy, girl, man and woman give something, if only the widow's mite. Don't you know you are helping the black soldier now fighting at the fronts in France, Belgium, Serbia, Italy and in Egypt? What Negro would dare rob his own or any human being from the necessities of a wounded soldier? This war is full of testing, not only of the white men but men of all colors and races. Negro, inasmuch as God has made you stewards over a certain amount, divide it now and let God pay you the dividend. Who would rob a wounded soldier of medicine, when on the battlefield? Let every Negro in Colorado give something.

Never has a more impressive outlay of decorations, flags, pennants, ribbons and streamers used to celebrate any honor than has been used for this year’s graduates. At the Club Home Miss Mabelle Andrews made the im- pression of her life when she, for the High School Girls’ Club of the Y. W. C. A, entertained the graduates of "17 in such a pleasing and elaborate manner, replete in dignity and social poise. Then Zion Baptist church made its initial effort in honoring the graduates with a scene which can never be for- gotten by them. Then the Steward- ess Board of Shorter, thru its Presi- dent, Mrs. O. W. Glenn, with decor- ated tables forming a cross, represent: ing a “red cross,’ with school colors streaming across tables, wrapped around the posts and tied as ropes to make the enclosure for them, with the class and school colors carried out in the candies and refreshments, dot- ting the pink and white, the emble- matic colors of the Stewardess Board, here and there, gave its second an- nual honor reception of entcourage- ment to the graduates and eight-grade students who enter high school this next school year. Flags in the win. dows, flowers in abundance with palms and ferns predominating, min- jature diplomas tied with pink ribbon within whose insides contained the names of Shorter’s Stewardess Board, used as place cards which surrounded the beautiful center piece of pink and white candies sprayed here and there with flowers to match and yellow roses to give color and dignity to the scheme. The crowded house. marched around the inclosure and silently and approvingly, with a nod of assent viewed the beautiful spectacle. Ar excellent program was furnished and the deep impression made upon tha‘ occasion can never be forgotten by all who participated and those who be held the pleasing sights.

These men and women, and this occasion, will be just as big and representative as we ourselves make it. The fraternal insurance so- clety will have its hands full working out details. There is a duty devolved upén each and every citizen, and each ought to play his or her part. After they have been invited here they are our guests and we should thus honor them.

Smyth Near Han- over Court House, Va—Small Army of Youngsters Cultivate Large Farm and Also Learn Trades. By THOMAS J. EDWARDS. ‘The founding of the Negro Reforma. tory association, for the saving of de Mnquent boys of the state of Virginia, was an idea conceived by Dr. John H. Smyth in 1868, Most of our people {n Virginie must be undoubtedly acquaint. ed with the history of Mr. Smyth, who was a lawyer by profession, but was better publicly known as minister to Liberia, The last great act of his dramatic life was played in the estab- lishing of this institution, commonly called the Negro reformatory. The or- ganization accredited gs the first in the south, was named the Negro Reforma- tory association of Virginia, and Dr. Smyth was its first prestdent and so remained until his death. It was in 1907, after Mr. Collis P. Huntington had become interested in Dr. Smyth's idea and had purc®seJ 1,400 acres of river bottom land, which b+ turned over to the management of t is organization, that, the institution was placed on a more permanent basis and a charter was obtained. This tract of land ts bordered on the northeast by the Pamunkey river and ix located about two and a half miles east of Hanover county courthouse, Va. In the struggle of the fnstitution to its pl mnt standing It has year by year graduifiy recelved support in the form of 25 cents per diem compensation from the state of Virginia, and some dona- tions from time to time have come from both white and colored friends interest- ed by the activities of the members of the board of trustees. ‘The one factor which is not only giving work and health to a large number of our boys throughout the year, but which has contributed largely to over one-third of the support of the institution, has been the farm. ‘ The object and purpose of the institu- tion, as set forth in its charter, are to provide a home for the reformation of male and female children and youths ‘of the Negro race of Virginia, but the institution has confined its efforts to the males by teaching them good mor- als, the habits of work and the dignity of labor by being engaged in some use- ful employment or trade and at the same time acquire a comprehensive knowledge of reading, writing and arithmetic. It is needless to say that in the at- tempt to make a suitable home for these delinquent boys the difmculty has been in getting a sympathetic public ear, in changing the idea that the in- stitution is for punishment, but is in- tended to give unfortunate boys of the state a chance to begin life all over again. To be more specific, the fundamental principles of the institution are so op- erated as to keep the boys physically and mentally employed that they may forget the evil tendencies of the past. ‘The management is attempting this in the following effective ways. Firat, the farm furnishes to our boys the kind of work which all boys should know something about, regardless of what may afterward be their pursuit in life, and offers the chance for a boy to be- come a self supporting citizen. The farm furnishes employment to from 75 to 125 boys. Besides doing the direct work connected with the cultt- Yation of the farm over one-third of the boys mentioned are employed In caring for the farm buildings, teams, cows, sbeep, hogs. On the 700 acres of tillable land were grown for the year 1915 3,000 bushels of corn, 500 bushels of wheat, 500 bushels of peas, 70 tons of mixed hay and 6,000 pounds of meat. For the year 1916 we harvested 2,000 bushels of corn (over 1,000 bush- els of corn wete lost by the overflow of the Pamunkey river), 508 bushels of wheat, about the same amount of hay ymade in 191%, about 5,000 pounds of meat and 400 bushels of peas, ‘The returns from the garden for 1015 were as follows: Seven hundred bush- ‘els of white potatoes, 250 bushels of sweet potatoes, 100 bushels of atring beans, 280 dozen ears of corn, 60 bush- els of lima beans, none of these being Included in our canned fruit and vege- ‘tables, which amounted to about 5,000 ‘cans. In 1916 onr white potato crop was 300 bushels, sweet potatoen 400. Corn, ima beans, squash and toma- toes were mostly put up fn cans, which amounted to 5,381. ‘This enumeration of the returns of the farm and garden 1s somewhat an answer as to whether the farm will ever become self support- ing. But aside from the self support- ing feature (t does offer a chance for wholesome outdour exercise, | After the farm and garden the next place of importance from the stund- point of exercise and training is the campus, A force of ten boys 1s regu- larly employed keeping the grounds presentable. Within two years a drive- way whith encircles our groves of oaks was laid off and gravefed by these boy« and hedged with 7,000 California privet | plants. Grass need has been sown flower beds hate been made and foot. ENJOY OUR NEW “STANLEY SERVICE” WITH NEW STANLEY STEAMER to Lookout Mountain.

WARD MEETS CHALLENGE TO RAISE $800, GETS CREDIT—CHURCH THINKS HIM BIGGEST MAN IN DENVER. Sunday was a high day in Zion with the pastor and members of Campbell African M. E. Church. It was gleaning day for the $800 rally and they passed the mark, reaching $804.60, which will enable the pastor and trustees to meet the challenge of Dr. B. F. Watson, secretary and treasurer of the Church Extension Department of the African M. E. church, located at Washington, D. C., in the offer to give $1,034.43 interest due upon a loan of 12 years' standing on condition that a stated amount be paid on the prin- cipal. This will enable the church to pay $1,839 on its indebtedness of $5,600, as shown at the beginning of this conference year, which leaves a bonded indebtedness of $3,700 to July 1, 1917. Other donations are yet to come in which will increase this rally fund. Rev. A. M. Ward carried off one of the greatest honors ever given any pastor in the Rocky Mountain district when he, by raising $804.60, would be able to pay $1,034.42 interest which had accumulated for 12 years back, making the full payment of $1,839. Just a few months ago this same Reverend Ward raised $400 and fitted the church with a new steam heating plant.

Phone Main /702] WHAT HIS FACE DISCLOSED Inspirational Desideria Famous Traveler Would Let Ne One Stop Him From Having What He Wanted. In his new book of personal re-collections, "In Good Company," Coulson Kernan tells a charismatic anecdote about Edward Whymper, the famous traveler and mountaineer. The two men had gone for a Sunday morning ramble, and after walking some four miles they came to a way-side inn. Said Whymper: "I had some very salt blisters for breakfast. Do you mind if I call in here and slake my thirst?" It was within the prohibited hours, but Whymper, nevertheless, knocked sharply and loudly in his usual masterful way, and when the door was opened by a frowny-looking man in shirtleaves, said dryly, in more senses than one: "I am thirsty and want a drink, please." "Are you a bona fide traveler?" inquired the man. This rather tickled Whymper, who, glancing down at his dusty attire, inquired of the landlord if he didn't look like one. "I don't know," replied the man, looking at Whymper very hard in the face, "but I'll tell you what you do look like if you wish. You look to me like a man who, if he's made up his mind to have a drink, would have it whether he was a bona fide traveler or not, and, what's more, wouldn't let no one stop him from having it." The Chángīng Times. This war is changing all of our oldest institutions. In more peaceful days the typewriter repair man came in, turned a screw, untangled the ribbon, wrote, "Now is the time for all good man to come to the aid of their party," and went his way. But times are different. The repair man entered the office this week and wrote: "A quick movement of the enemy will jeopardize six gunboats."—New York Evening Post. Inharmonious. "What's the matter with them Twisterino brothers that does the contortion act?" demanded the circus proprietor. "They're always scrappin' among themselves." "They can't help it, boss," replied the manager. "You see, two of 'em is Germans, one is a Frenchman and the other one is a dago, and every once in a while they git to arguin' about the war." Bilenced Him. At a small social gathering recently the talk fell upon that somewhat well-worn topic, mothers-in-law. One of the party, Mr. Z —, who is himself not the most amiable of men, indulged in a good deal of cheap sarcasm at the expense of the ladies in question, says London Tit-Bita. "Nevertheless, gentlemen," he concluded, with a self-approving smile, "you will scarcely believe it, but the fact is I lived five years in the home with my mother-in-law and we never had a single quarrel. What do you think of that?" "I think," said a dry old Scotman who was present—"I think that it speaks vera weel for yer mither-in-law, ma man"; and Z — subsided, amid general laughter.

RAISE MONUMENT TO SHARK Japanese Fisher Folk Seek to Prop- late "Delty" Which Died and Was Placed on Exhibition. For the first time within the memory of the oldest inhabitants, two large shark appeared recently off the Grand hotel, Yokohama, and created a sensation. They did all manner of Annette Kellermann tricks of swimming for the entertainment of the hotel guest, who gathered upon the verandas and along the Bund. Several unsuccessful attempts were made to harpoon the big fish. Many shots were fired at the swimming monsters, but they did not appear to mind a 38-caliber bullet in the slightest degree. They finally proceeded up the bay toward Tokyo as far as the residence of the French consul on the Okawaga river, but finding shallow water, they returned to the harbor, dived and were not again seen. The Tokyo Yomiuri has another shark story describing the landing at Odawara of a dead member of that family, eleighteen feet in length, and its subsequent exhibition at Asakusa. The father folk of Odawara have subscribed a small amount of money to erect a stone monument to this animal deity, which, they assert, was guardian of the fisheries off that coast for centuries. They are indignant that the great fish is put on exhibition for money and are raising the monument to propitiate the spirit so that it will not wreak a terrible vengeance upon the mercenary inhabitants of Odawara. SPECIAL REPORT ON EDUCATION Results of Exhaustive Study by Thomas Joese Jones. WHAT WE HAVE ACHIEVED Diligent Investigator, Working Under Direction of Federal Bureau of Education and Phoebe Stokes Fund, is Convinced of Our People's Determination to Help Themselves. New York.—"Though the movements herein outlined are but mender beginnings, they are deeply significant. They indicate that democracy's plan for the solution of the race problem in the southland is not primarily in the philanthropies and wiedom of the northern people, nor is it in the desires and struggles of the colored people, nor yet in the first hand knowledge and daily contacts of the southern white people. Democracy's plan is in the combination of the best thought and the deepest sympathy and the most abiding faith of those three groups working with mutual faith in one another." With this paragraph Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones, specialist of the United States bureau of education, closes his introductory chapter to his two volume report on "Negro Education: A Study of the Private and Higher Schools For Colored People in the United States," copies of which are now available at the government printing office, Washington. Working under the joint auspices of the federal bureau and the Phelps Stokes fund of New York, Dr. Jones has spent the past three years in personally visiting all of the larger institutions for the education of the Negro throughout the country, as well as many of the smaller schools; in collecting data from federal sources and state departments of education and, finally, in setting forth this information and his conclusions in a report which some of the foremost white and colored educators in the nation have pronounced a monumental contribution to the discussion and ultimate solution of the problem. In his report Dr. Jones says that he has found "convincing evidence of the determination of the colored people to help themselves," and he characterizes the development of schools maintained solely through the initiative of Negroes as "a remarkable achievement." So rapid has the progress been that there are now 153 schools under Negro boards, representing an investment in plant and equipment of $2,305,054 and an annual income for current expenses of more than $390,000. These schools employ 528 teachers and workers and have an enrollment of 17,209 pupils, of whom 14,080 are elementary, 2,496 secondary and 115 collegiate and professional. Of the total of 153 schools Dr. Jones rates alixty of them as essential parts of the educational systems of the states in which they are situated. Of the ninety-three remaining institutions some are sincere in purpose, but handicapped by lack of funds or bad management and others are the result of jealousy between factions in a denomination or of church politics. In addition to supporting these 153 schools the race is giving out of its own pocket a considerable sum to extend the terms of some of the public schools, despite the fact that through the payment of taxes the race already has given its full quota to the state school funds. Dr. Jones estimates that the Negroes of America are contributing voluntarily to educational institutions upward of $500,000 a year. All told, there are 625 private schools and 122 secondary public institutions, which are discussed in the report. They represent a property investment of $35,870,000 and an annual income for current expenses of $4,241,572. Institutions under public control consist of one federal school (Howard university), sixteen land grant schools, eleven state schools, sixty-seven city high schools and twenty-seven county training schools. The private institutions include 118 with independent boards of trustees, 354 under white church boards, and the 153 maintained by the colored people themselves. Taking the group as a whole, all 122 of the public institutions and 266 of the private schools are rated as "larger or important" that is, essential parts of the educational system. In a chapter entitled "Public School Facilities" Dr Jones discusses in great detail the exact status of state and county provisions for the education of the 8,500,000 Negroes in the south. His findings are based upon the federal census of 1910 and the official reports of state and county school superintendents. He finds that the allotment for the Negro schools averages for the whole south one-fourth of what it should be if school funds were justly apportioned between the two races on the basis of comparative population. The inequality is least in the border states and becomes most pronounced in the counties whose population is more than three-fourths colored. In these counties the per capita for colored children is $1.78, for white children $22.22. Taking up the question of attendance, Dr. Jones shows that the average for the south is 58.1 per cent of the total Negro population between the ages of six and fourteen years. The percentage ranges from 37.4 in Louisiana to 76.5 in Oklahoma.

Forewarned is Forearmed — Prove Your Promises by Doeds. The Star knows in no better way for lodges to do their "Hit" 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 succor 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 ways and means to buy a carload of canned vegetables, smoked meats and other necessities 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 head?

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.

SUNDAY SCHOOL CONGRESS HOLDS ANNUAL MEETING HEALTH AND ACCIDENT POLICIES HEALTH AND ACCIDENT POLICIES Hundreds of Religious Workers Attend Bessies at Nashville, Tenn. NATIONAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY U. S. A. Nashville, Tenn.—Inspired by such an excellent rendition of the Sunday school congress song "Hall, the Baptist Congress," by the magnificent chorus, hundreds of Sunday school workers were present and participated in the opening of the twelfth annual session of the Sunday school congress held in this city from June 18 to 18 that had its official opening at the Mount Olive Baptist church.

Brilliant Young Collegian Who Worked His Way Through School Has Won Many High Honors—Receives Ph. D. Degree From University of Illinois. THE MAYOR Take that Sunday Dinner at As an inspiration to the youth of this country and those who are interested in the part which the Negro is taking in the higher education it would be a pleasing and useful task if we could spare the space to chronicle and give publicity to the careers of the multitude of self sacrificing and ambitious colored young men and women who are fitting themselves in our schools and universities for the responsibilities of life. Sometimes, however, one particular character stands out to prove a fact, and in such a case it is befitting that some mention be made of the individual. Great Missionary MASS MEETING The subject of this sketch, Mr. Edward Marion Augustus Chandler, was born in Ocala, Fla., some thirty years ago. After receiving a common and high school education in his native city he attended Howard university, where in June, 1913, he received his A. B. degree. From Howard he went to Clark university, Worcester, Mass., which in June, 1914, conferred on him his A. M. degree. Not satisfied with these honors, he entered the University of Illinois in this year (1914), where in a short time he gained two fellowships, valued at $700, and on the 13th of June of this year (1917) received his diploma as Ph. D. from the hands of Mr. F. A. Vanderlip, the president of the City bank of New York, who officiated at the commencement exercises. DR. JAMES KELLY Field Secretary of the Foreign Mission Board National Baptist Convention, will Preach SUNDAY, JULY 1st He is an honorary member of several scientific societies; also the American Chemical society, the Sigma Xi and the Phi Lambda Upsilon.

Zion Baptist Church Mr. Chandler is the eldest of eight children. His father was a lawyer and at one time state senator of Florida, who has also held many federal offices. His mother, who died in his youth, was Miss Annie M. Onley, a sister of Dr. D. W. Onley, the well known dentist of New York city. at both Morning and Evening Services At 3 P.M. a Great Missionary Mass Meeting will be held a Central Baptist Church. Mr. Chandler has received many flattering offers for his services, but is undecided where he will locate. It may, however, be safely predicted that when he does it will be the place where he will be the most needed and that he will soon be occupying a position in the fore ranks of the thinkers and workers for the uplift of his race.
