Denver Star

The Denver Star ESTABLISHED 1888 The papers formerly known as The Statesman and The independent, have been merged into The Denver Star Number 1 It would certainly be grand if you could run up here for a day and see your boys drilling in their uniforms and see the envoirments here. I am sure we would be glad to see you. I am, yours, DR.J. FRANKLIN WILSON Company 14. Barracks 7 —Topeka Plaindealer. SURGEONS NEEDED FOR ARMY Artillery, Aviation Corps and Other Arms of Service Will Eventually Admit Negroes. The opening of the camp for the training of Colored officers at Fort Des Moines, I., appears to be the first step in utilizing Colored men for the war. The registration of all citizens of whatever race for conscription is an indication that a proportionate number of men from 21 to 31 will comprise the Army sent to France During the past week, a third step growing out of the former two, was inaugurated by the Medical Society. (white) of the District of Columbia. At a meeting held at the Central High School under the auspices of this society, to which Colored members are not eligible, Colored physicians were invited. Speakers included Vice-President Marshal, Representative Kahn, of California, author of the draft bill, and Col. T. J. Godwin, of the English Royal Medical Corps. Application cards for commission in the Medical Reserve Corps of the United States were handed out and both white and Colored urged to sign them and return them to the War Department. Those accepted will be commissioned first lieutenants in the service with a salary of $2,000 a year. An official word from the War Department states that two hundred Colored physicians will be needed to accompany the colored troops. Until this year there have been no Colored surgeons commissioned in the United States Army. The reason therefore has been purely social Some statistics of the British physicians activity in the war as given by Colonel Godwin at the meeting referred to above are enlightening as to the present anxiety to push the social bar aside and accept Colored doctors. According to the Colonel, 60,000 medical officers have been lost by Great Britian since the war began. Twelve per cent of those who left England have been killed. There is now in England only one doctor for every 5,000 of population. Both England and France are seriously embarrassed in their case of the sick and wounded, and would be in an even more critical situation were it not for the surgical units that the American Red Cross has been sending the Allies since the beginning of the war. The Allies are looking to America to turnish her quota of medical men as well as soldiers for cannon fodder. So it goes. The artillery corps and the aeroplane corps are yet closed to Colored applicants. As the war goes on and losses begin to increase, these branches will fall into line and start recruiting in the Colored sections.—Baltimore Afro American TWENTY-NINTH YEAR THE TRAINING CAMP AT FORT DES MOINES. Fort Des Moines, Ia.—At the beautiful site of Fort Des Moines is located the "cream" of the Negro race. Men of all professions and occupations are here being trained as officers for the twenty-five Negro regiments to be formed. Seemingly it is a college reunion, as we all are meeting faces which we have not seen since our college days. Meharry Medical College and Howard University graduates are in the majority at present. We are all doing fine and enjoy our training which is very strenuous. We are up every morning at 5 o'clock; 5:30, reveille; 5:45, assemble; 6:00, mess, first call at 7:20 and from then on until noon we are drilling, with the exception of one hour for conference. After noon, until 5 o'clock, we are drilling and learning to use arms. After supper at 6 p.m. we study until 9 p.m. when our lights in our quarters are turned out and we are forced to bed. Everyone here is delighted with the high class meals which are served us—much better than we expected. There are 1250 candidates here for commissions in the reserve corps, of which 250 are regulars from the Tenth calvary, Twenty-fourth and Twenty-fifth infantry, who served as instructors Twenty five candidates are now on their way here from the Philippine islands and are due here in about two weeks. The candidates here are divided into fourteen companies. Kansas and Missouri candidates form the Fourteenth company, and it is our aim to finish in front of the other companies. Among the men in our company we find Attorney J. Guy Booker, Attorney Howard Beam, Attorney I. F. Bradley, Jr., and Dr. Wm. Hayden from Kansas City; Prof, Geo. Hamilton, Jr., and Mr. Fred Stonestreet of Topeka, Kan.; Olin Smith, Johnson C. Whitaker, Dr. Leonard Freeman, Dr. Lee, Arthur Hardy, J. L. Chase, B. H. Brown, Prof. I. H. Hornton, from Kansas City, Mo.; Virgil Schick of Columbia, Mo., and Dr. Liminy of Columbia. We have an army Y. M. C. A. here under the guidance of Mr. Robt. De Frantz and it is proving quite a help to us. It was dedicated Saturday night the program being furnished by the candidates here. We are all hopeful that a medical reserve corps will be established here within the next two months. The boys are complaining of sore arms, where we were inocolated with typhoid serum. Yesterday your humble servant was assisting in the examination of candidates and with the inoculatoin. Mob Ridden, Riot Seething, Brutal St. Louis Bursts Into Anarchy 1930 William Bolden Townsend, was born in Huntsville, Alabama, in 1857, and left the South when 6 years of age, and came to Kansas, where he was later educated, graduating from the High School in Leavenworth. After which he filled the positions of Assistant City Attorney and Weighmaster, and Letter Carrier for 12 years. (Continued on page 7) DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JULY 7, 1917 Enjoying A Southern Pastime. The Stigma. Shame Illinois Galveston, Tex., — Henry Sawyer who said that he came from Brooklyn, N. Y., last year and who since has been in the employ of a John Carlton, a dairyman living in the suburbs of Galveston, was tak en from the county jail here yesterday by a hundred armed and masked men and hung to a sign board just beyond the city limits. His body was riddled with bullets. Sawyer was charged with attacking Mrs. Carlton after she had assaulted him for his alleged impertinence. Thou who hast killed and murdered thy friends and mobbed thine helpers wouldst stone a fighting army. America stands today for either anarchy or law? The time came when men and women selling had to be stopped and now the time is here when men and women killing must stop. The Negro is now being offered up in the testing crucible of blist ering suffering and disarmed men. innocent women of all ages and defenseless children and infants in their mothers arms are the blood spatterd victims in East St. Louis. Riot has run amuck, anarchy and ghoulish friendishness such as was practiced by the Belgians in the Congo was on every corner and thru out the streets of East St. Louis, with her many Christian churches, schools and colleges of education and Courts of Justice. The good and law abiding people are too powerless to protect the innocent and defenseless law abiding citizens whose homes had been previously searched and all protecting weapons had been seized by the police and guardsmen just prior to the time the mob was turned in upon them. The police mob and state militia watched the butchery with gleeful eyes and smiling faces and sarcastic grins to their satisfaction. It was only the riot scenes of the Birth of a Nation which played in that city carried out with the bloody and horrible embellishments. We could tell of the actions of the incendiary mob, who were supplied openly and publicly with 32 and 38 calibre cartridges from automobiles in the streets. The officials cannot ascertain where these come from, who gave them, nor even the identity of the murderers, yet statements of these murders are printed in the papers. "Not by might nor by power but by My Spirit sayeth the Lord God of Hosts." "Vengeance is Mine, and I will repay." Thank God that in nate contagious spirit of hate, anarchy and lawlessness be hind all these acts whether inspired by the Germans, I. W. W. or who are not Negroid, but purely Causasian. It will be him who shall pay in tears, blood, death, destruction of life and property just like proud England, haughty Germany, musical Italy, barbarous Belgium and mistaken but cruel French, who have had to pay and are now paying toll with interest for the robbers in North, East, South and West Africa, as well as in the Madagascar. The Americans cannot escape; they did not during the Civil War and cannot now. No Supreme Court, nor America can thwart God's plans. Germany is trying to do it and God is turning the world upside down. Let America cease trying to practice the lessons she has been taught by Southern burnings, segregation and lynchings and the manifested apathy and cold indifference of the United States governmnt to crimes against Negroes. Of course, it may be somewhat embarrassing for America to have East St. Louis follow out the teachings and direct re Houston, Tex.—Ben Harper, charged with being the driver of an automobile which ran down and killed Ollie May Goodrum, 12-year-old girl of Navasota, Thursday, was hanged by a mob at the scene of the girl's death, near Courtney, Texas, early Friday. Seven other colored men are being held by officers in connection with the girl's death Courtney is a remote section and details are scant. The men, who are said to be from Houston, were celebrating emancipation day. Emigration of Negroes Chicago, July 1. The state council of defense today recommended that of emigration of Negroes from the South to the North be discouraged. This action was taken as a result of an investigation of the recent race riots in East St. Louis, Ill. It was found that the Negroes were lured north by anonymous advertisements. Managers of East St. Louis industrial plants denied that they were responsible. Greater co-operation between capital and labor dur ing the war was recommended. Lost Both Arms, Court Awards Heavy Damages After three trials, in one of which the jury disagreed, the other awarded $75,000, which was set aside by Justice Mors chauser because of the commission of perjury by witnesses, Oscar Fried, of Yonkers, has been successful in his suit against the New York, New Haven and Hartford R. R. for the loss of both arms. Presiding Judge Young on a motion from counsel that the final award of $86,000 was excessive, reserved decision. Fried lost his arms on December 8, 1913, while ascending a ladder near Mt. Vernon. In the climb he came in contact with a live wire and was burned so severely that it was necessary to amputate both arms. Dr. Charles H. Garvin, graduate of Howard University, and local practitioner, has accepted a commission as lieutenant with the surgical Unit raised by Dr. Crile, white, for immediate service in France. FIVE CENTS $A COPY. MAY RETIRE YOUNG FROM ACTIVE SERVICE. San Francisco. Cal.,—The rumor is in circulation here that an army board of physicians is about to recommend the retirement of Lieutenant-Colonel Charles Young, the ranking Negro officer in the United States Army on the grounds of alleged "high blood pressure." Friends of Lieutenant-Colonel Young assert that he is in the best of physical condition. He says he never felt better in his life and was well able to continue in the active service in the United States Army. Negroes throughout the country regard the retirement of Lieutenant-Colonel Young as a racial calamity, and look upon such a move as ill-advised at this time. If retained in active service and promoted to the rank of Colonel he would stand sixth in line of Colonels for promotion to a Brigadier-Generalship. — N. Y. Age. Do you get it? Rights and Privileges as Citizens. When the people of this country realize and understand that the educated, well-to-do colored people of good character insist upon all of their rights and privileges as citizens without wishing any of the association in a social way with the white folks in their neighborhood, they will have gone a long way in solving that vexing problem of race about which we are constantly talking. — Richmond, Va. Planet. Frenchmen Praises Bravery of the Negro New York.—News of how Marcell Knech, a representative of France, in a recent address to local physicians at the Hotel Plaza, praised the bravery of colored soldiers fighting for France, has just become generally known. While talking on the European War, the speaker showed a number of stereopticon views one in which colored and white soldiers were in the same regiment. At this point Mr. Knech proceeded to laud the bravery of the colored soldiers, stating that they had proved to be the most courageous and many had been awarded medals by Joffre. This information was received in silence.—Eagle. First Colored Elevator Girl. Rochester, N. Y.—Mrs. Loretta Bond, a member of the race has the distinction of being Rochester's first elevator girl.

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 treating 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.

As a result of the meeting of the ex- ecutive committee of the National Bap- tist convention, held the early part of June in Atlanta, Ga., a vigorous cam- paign of enlightenment has been launch- ed among the Negro Baptists of the country. A national campaign commit- tee, with Dr. L. K. Williams of Chica- go as chairman, 1s to have one member from each state, a local executive com- mittee, with headquarters in Chicago, and an advisory committee of a hun- dred or more Baptist laymen, and a general representative of the National Baptist convention for each state has also been designated. ‘The object of the campaign is tomake the coming session of the National Bap- tist convention to be held in Muskogee, Okla., during the second week of Sep- tember next the largest and most suc- cessful session ever held by that body. Efforts will be made’ to get before the people the real issues that have arisen between the National Baptist conven- tion and one of its former secretaries, the Rev. R. H. Boyd. It is the claim of the National Baptist convention that it founded the National Baptist Pub- lishing Board, located at Nashville, Tenn., and intrusted it to the manage- ment of the Rev. R. H. Boyd and eight associates, who acknowledged this fact for nineteen years. They base their claim on the wording of the chapter, which reads: “Be it known that we, R. H. Boyd, E. C. Morris, C. H. Clark, J. P. Robin- son, G..M. Moore, E. J. Fisher, J, E. Knox, G. W. D. Gaines and their suc- cessore, chosen under the rules and reg- ulations of the National Baptist con- vention of the United States and hold- ing office under the rules, usages and regulations of said convention, are hereby constituted a body politic and corporate by the name and style of the National Baptist Publishing Board of said convention of the Baptist church or denomination.” "The Rev. It, H. Boyd claims that the National Baptist Publishing Board 1s independent of all conventions and is in the sole charge of himself and nine other men, subject only to the laws of the state of Tennessee, which granted the charter, as it is alleged. He makes the claim of personal and individual creation of the National Baptist Pub- lishing Board, while admitting the au- thorahip of articles describing the launching and growth of the enterprise, in which he says: “To my great surprise and much to my regret, the convention said to me in unmistakable tones, ‘Thou art the man.’ For twenty-five years I had been at- tempting to answer every call made by the Baptists, endeavoring to obey every command given by them, and now that it said to me and four others associated with me, ‘Go from this con- vention and publish for the Sunday schools pertodicals by Jan. 1, 1917, my only answer was that the Baptists that have called the National convention had commanded the die cast, and the Rubi con is crossed.” The issue has been joined in court. Rev. R. H. Boyd has organized his fol- lowing to help him maintain his con: vention, The National Baptist conven tlon desires to maintain the unity of the Negro Bapeist family and is seeking to put facts before the people that will cause them to abide in full force by the parent organization founded by the late distinguished William J. Simmons, LL. D., of Kentucky and presided over by Dr? B. C. Morris, Helena, Ark., for the past twenty years or more. Many side issues have been injected into the controversy, but thé National Baptist convention will endeavor to focus the attention of its constituency on what it regards as the real {ssue—namely, whether it or an independent group of nine men shall control the publishing Interests of its following of more than 2,500,000 people. A document covering the main issue and all of the known side issues raised has been prepared by Rev. Sutton E. Griggs, aml it is the plan of this com- talttoe to Jesue and distribate 100,00) coples of the document. The officials of the National Baptist convention feel that they can rest their cause fyls upon their statement of the case. Per sons desiring coples of the statement, which is entitled “Stubborn Facts,” can secure copies free of charge by in closing postage for mailing the same to Rev. L. K. Williams, Twenty-seventh and Dearborn streets, Chleago. If there are churthes that feel that they need light on this subject or If there are those that think that certain churches need information they are ask- ed to communicate with Dr. Williams. If there are associations or convention: to meet in nny state within the next three months where National Baptist convention issues ave likely to arise or where the question should be ratse? for the inxal of tie convention It is re 709-711 28TH ST.

In his recent report on educational facilities for the colored people, which he recently completed for the federal Dureau of education and -he Phelps Stokes fund, Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones eays: “fince un efficient schco. system not only enrolls the pupils. but also holds them in school with >e degree of ‘Fegulari:y until they have finished the elementary grades, it is evident that | the low attendance in colored schools 4a the first great problem ‘o be solved. ies improvement of attendance re- quires not only a better school plant, trained teachers and more effective work, but also a stronger interest in the schoo! among the masses of the colored people that they may place more emphasis on regularity and punc- ‘tuality in attendance. | “The multiplication of small, one oom schools, which has led to the | movement for consolidation in the case of white children, has not extended to ‘the colored schools. Colored schools bave never multiplied fast enough to be too close together, and it is not un- common to find pupils who have walk- ed'six or seven miles to attend school.” And wheu the children get to school, ‘the report continues, they are apt to ‘find it uot only overcrowded, but also taught in « building not owned by the “public authorities. In Alabama over 60 per cent of the schools are taught in such buildings, and in Georgia the con- dition is even worse. “Bo long as the school is housed in such a temporary manner,” says Dr. Jones, “it is exceedingly difficult to arouse tlie interest of teachers, pupils Or patrons sufficiently to improve the plant or ad to the value of the prop- erty.” As for overcrowding, the re- port meutions a carcful survey made by state supervisors in three typical counties of Alabama, where the seat- ing capacity of the eighty colored schools Was 3,794, their enrollment was 6,391 und their attendance was 5,882. Dr. Jones also emphasizes the danger of the large average group of pupils in the schools and points out that the average school term in the south is less than six months, in Ala- bama, Florida, Louisiana and the Car- olinas the term being less than five | months. As for the teachers, Dr. Jones says in part: “The teachers of colored pub- Ue schools occupy a peculiarly impor. tant position. They are not only the chief sgents in stimulating the inter est of the colored people in the public schools, but they are also in a position to present the needs of the colored schoola effectively to the school off- cials. Their work, well done, will not only produce better trained men and women, but will also develop friendly and helpful relations between the white and colored people of the south. “Such a responsibility should be placed only on well trained teachers. Observation, however, shows that the large majority of the teachers now in the schools are utterly incapable of any responsibility. The chapter on “Teacher Training’ in this report makes plain the fact that the public provision for training colored teachers is negligi- ble. Even the private schools supply only a small proportion of the number needed. The question of teachers’ sal- aries, White and colored, has received considerable attention, and some im- provement in the salaries of white teachers has been made. The wage scale of colored teachers is still very low, however.” The report points out that where the system 18 in force of paying the jailer so much per capita for boarding the prisoners the minimum amount fixed is generally $150. With this figure in mind the comparative table for the salaries of white and colored teachers in eight southern states is illuminating. Some of the figures are: Alabama, white, $355; colored, $159; Georgia. white, $819; colored, $119; Kentucky, white, $823; colored, $310; North Caro- lina, white, $197; colored, $119; South | Carolina, white, $333; colored, $110. i “The inadequate compensation is am. ple explanation of the poor teaching found in most of the rural public) schools for colored people. It is little’ wonder that 70 per cent of the teach- ers in the ‘black belt’ states have less than six grades of elementary educa. tion.” ‘Discussing in another part of his report the relative interest taken by the south in its white and colored public school, Dr. Jones says that the rapid increase of the appropria tions for white schools during the past few years and especially the multipli- cation of white igh scboois in the southern states have given vise to the belief that the appropriations for Ne: gro schools have actually decreased.

As America has entered the war for the preservation |} | of democracy and the freedom of email nationalities, thie Govern- | ment in in honor bound to apply this principle impartially in all caves i i of peoples held in subjection, whether they be under the jurisdic- i i} tion of Germany, like Belgium, or of England, like Ireland. As Amer_ qi ica cannot be @ party to any scheme of world-peace which with- i holds from any nation the God-given right of freedom, the only final jf i settlement must be the complcte independence of Ireland. America has the right, by her entry into the wat, to demand it from England, not in the Peace Conference at the close of the war, but now. i We therefore respectfully, urge upon the President and the Con- ff | gress the necessity and good policy of giving a grest example to the ! world by insisting that England shall grant Ireland complete na-+ \ i] tional independence. We earnestly hope that, like Cuba, Ireland I | will be made free by the action of America. y NAME ADDRESS | | | 1 | $$ | | } Lot < pcnmeee ote Every lover of Democracy, irrespective of sex, rese and religion, eked to eign thie Petition. .

East St. Louis packing houses had contracts for thousands of tons of meat to care for the army. The whites called a strike, and refused to work. Southern Negroes—not all ig- norant by any means as reported, by the daily press of prejudice—filled their places. Did German agents take this means by paying thousands of Gollars to certain unfon men to seize this chance to stir up trouble, making it appear to the fanatical union dupes that a calamity was about to occur? {Who supplied I.

RACE ARTICLE BY RACE MAN Leading Negroes and Negroes’ Wives Responsible for the Massacreing nd the Killing of Negroes in this Country. Iam sorry to say that the teachings the Negroes receive from the majori- ty of the so-called Negro leaders are nothing more than cowardice. It pains me deeply to see and know that instead of our preachers and leaders in every capacity teaching Negro men and women to be men and women and prepare to protect their, homes and families from ‘being burned and lynch- ed and treated worse than dogs, they are taught everything else it seems put the thing that is most essential for a race of people to know. The trouble is the Negro is taught too much religion and not enough of the right kind. He should be taught that religion to be God-fearing does not mean to be a coward but to trust God and fear no man und& heaven por on earth; for God has no use for a coward. I have known a num- per of Negro men whose wives abso lutely objected to their husbands hav ing @ gun in his home for his and jher protection. In my opinion a Ne- gro of this ‘kind should be looked upon fust as the country looked upon those twelve senators ‘who objected to the arming of the ‘American ships for their own protection. ‘These emen were branded thruout the country as trait- ors and German sympathizers, 80 should every Negro ‘woman or man who objects to getting a gun for his or her home. It is time for this race of ours to wake up and be men and women and wake jn from our homes and Teave | our families to be burned, hacked and slaughtered by a savage, uncivilized race of people. We will never be respected by the world until we stand and fall like men. God helps those who help themselves. H. F. CHAMBERS. GOD GIVE US MEN. God give us men!

The program was intensely in: teresting, and the scientific side, com- bined with the many social features. made the sessions among the best ever held by the association.

Dr, D, W.

Dr. A. M. Moore of Durham, Dr, F. 8, Harsraves of Wilson, Dr. S. B. Jones, Dr. W. L. MeNair of Greensboro, Dr. A. M. Cur- tls of Washington, an authority on surgical clinics, and Dr. James B, Dud- ley, president of the A. and 'T, college. were among the prominent factors at this meeting. Dr, F, W, Avant of Wilminston, who was elected president of te association at Wilson, N. C., in 1916, presided. His annual address was a masterpiece. Dr. Avant is president of the Afra-Ameri- can Food Conservation Commission of his county, which 1s associated with a similar body of representative white men. He is prominent in the economic and civic movements of his race and also in the fraternal world.

Progress in every department and de Hall of work is noted in the aunual re port of the National Benefit associa- tion, with headquarters in Washington. ‘The organization had its inception in the thrift and industry of Samuel W. Rutherford, who is regarded as one of the most successful business men of our race. The association, which gives ‘employment to more than 100 men and women af the race, was organized elghteen years ugo, with a few dollars and only desk room for an office. By wise business management and persistent effort on the part of Mr. Rutherford and bis associates, the or- ganization has steadily grown from year to year, until {ts members number up into the thousands and its resources \into the hundreds of thousands. ‘The concern does business in seven states and the District of Columbia, Its ‘achievements have been phenomenal, and its benefits to the race are mani: fold. Eighteen years ago Mr. Rutherford, general manager and secretary of the association, was working for a secret society on a small salary and commis. sion. He is now receiving from his own business a living salary, 1# com fortably fixed and is his own boss, He has the confidence of the public and Is widely known for his fairness to hiv patrous and those in his employ. Th National Benefit association has pv out of commission the traditional the ory that colored people will not, whe employed by their own race, give a good service ax they will when employ ed by other races urgler similar cir cumstances. ‘The report further shows that the total assets of the assoclation amount to $273,217.87. In order to put new energy into the work aud Increase its resources the concern has adepted a broader policy for carrying into effect additional lines of service and entering into new territory. Every colored man or woman who makes a success in busl- ness raises the standard of race pride and race integrity and worth higher, gives inspiration to our youth and in- creases the respect and good will ¢ r our people among the other races. : NOTICE!

A writer, appealing to the conservative instincts of the race, reminds them that the Chinese 2,300 years before the Christian era had "flying money." These were printed in blue on rather thick paper made from the fiber of the mulberry tree, and one of these issued 1839 B.

An Old Love Secret. A youth or maiden pulls a primrose from its stalk, and, after cutting off the tops of the stamens with a pair of scissors, puts it in some secret place where no human eye can see it. All through that day the loved one must be thought of, and dreamed of through the night. Next day the flower is to be taken from its hiding-place. If the stamens are found to have shot out to their former height, success in love will attend the experimenter; if not, disappointment will be his or her lot. High Brow Study. "What are you giving your cows now in the way of galactagogues?" asked the professor of the milkman. "Oh," said the milkman who had just graduated from the agricultural college and was not to be stumped, "their sustenance is wholly of vegetable origin, rich in chorphyll and opulent in butyraceous qualities." "A pint if you please," said the professor. "Git up." said the milkman. Accidental Discovery Bottled ale, rendered mellow by long keeping, was an accidental discovery. It was made by Alexander Newell, dean of St Paul's in the reign of Queen Mary. Newell was obnoxious to Bonner, and the latter had sent soldiers to apprehend him; but it happened on that day Newell was out fishing, and in order to keep his beer cool had buried it in the bank. Getting intimation of his danger, he fled, forgetting all about the beer, and escaped to the continent; whence, returning some years later, he remembered his beer. dug it up, and found it wonderfully improved with age. Fiscal Years. Fiscal year means the treasury year or period for which government appropriations and reports are made, and accounts are rendered. The government fiscal year in Great Britain and in Germany ends March 31; in the United States on June 30, and in France on December 30. As it always relates to government finances, it might be called the financial year. The word fiscal is derived from the Latin fiscus, a basket, and may relate to some remote period of primitive simplicity when a money basket served as a government treasury. Since the organization of the United States government, the term fiscal year has meant from June 30 of one year to July 1 of the next year. Bad News "The expectant heir to his uncle's millions, anxiously asked the doctor when his uncle was taken ill, if there was no hope." "What did the doctor say?" "He told him there was no hope whatever. The chances were his uncle would get well enough to marry his housekeeper." MIGHT GET TWO EXTRA HOURS Advocates of Daylight Saving Could Do It by Setting Alarms Ahead as Well as Clocks. One good thing about compensations is that they are always ready to change to suit circumstances. That is, of of course, what compensations are for. We have, therefore, no sooner made up our minds that we shall have to stay at home with our back-yard gardens this summer than we are confronted by the suggestion that our clocks may be set ahead in order to give us an extra hour in the garden every evening, says a writer in the Indianapolis News. It is easy enough to understand that an hour in the garden every evening is worth many a day at a summer resort. There is, to be sure, the difficulty of getting up an hour earlier every morning, but it would not really seem an hour earlier. Most of us do not like getting up in the morning, no matter what time it is, and an hour or so makes no noticeable difference at that time of day. As far as all that is concerned there may be some difference of opinion as to whether the clocks should be set ahead in order to give us that hour in the evening or whether the alarms on our clocks should be set ahead in order to give us the extra hour in the morning. It looks on the face of it as though it might be possible to get two extra hours out of our days. Sure Source of Happiness The secret of all strength and happiness is conscious union with our Divine Source. This establishes in us a sense of security, an assurance that we are not playthings of chance, puppets of accident or fate. When we come to a full realization of our atonement with the great creative, sustaining principle of the universe, life will take on a new meaning. There will be no room for worry, no cause for fear. We shall be serene, polished, happy.—Orison Swett Marden, in Pictorial Review. VIRGINIA'S YOUNG BAPTIST LEADER Rev. J. C. Diamond's Success at Fredericksburg, Va. EDUCATED AND THRIFTY Brief Account of What the Pastor of the Historic Shiloh Baptist Church Has Accomplished During Six Years of Diligent Labor—Congregation Gives Him Hearty Co-operation. Fredericksburg, Va.—One of the most historic church edifices in use by the colored people of this section of the state is the Shiloh Baptist church (on the old site), in this city. For nearly a century there has been a Baptist church on the old site where the present beautiful structure stands. It is a credit to the race and an honor to the city. The old church edifice for the first thirty years of its existence was used by a congregation composed of both white and colored people, the latter being in the majority. In 1854 the congregation, having outgrown the building on Water street, moved into a new building which had been erected on Princess street, and the old building on Water street was turned over to the colored Baptists, with the Rev. Armstead Walker, one of the first ordained ministers of the race in Virginia, as pastor. During the war, when the Union soldiers occupied the town, the church ```markdown ``` REV. J. C. DIAMOND, B. D. was used as a hospital. The benches were torn out and the property otherwise damaged. The church now has a claim in the omnibus claim bill which is before congress, and there is a chance that it will receive a goodly sum of money from the government in adjustment of its claim. At the close of the war this congregation organized under the name of Shiloh and had for its first pastor the Rev. George Dixon. Nearly all the older members of the church were baptized by the Rev Mr. Dixon. Out of the twelve men who banded them selves together after the war and organized this church only one is left. Jim Coleman, as he is wont to be called. In 1887 the old building fell, and the congregation split on the question of a site for the new building. The cornerstone of the present building was laid by the white Masons of Fredericksburg, an unusual thing, but it showed the pleasant relations which exist between the races. The present pastor, the Rev. J. C Diamond, B. D., is a young man. He was born July 22, 1887, and the first seventeen years of his life were spent on the farm. He spent some of the time in the public school, thereby laying the foundation for an education. He entered Hampton institute in 1895 and graduated from the trade school in 1898, and in 1900 he graduated from the academic department at Hampton. The Rev. Mr. Diamond taught physics and electricity at Hampton institute for a time and then accepted a position as professor of manual training in Walden university, Nashville, Tenn. He also taught manual training at Calhoun, Ala. Giving up the profession of teaching, he engaged in the contracting business at Alexandria, Va. Having a new vision of life's possibilities, Dr. Diamond entered the theological department of Howard university, from which he was graduated in 1910. He was installed into the pastorate of the Shiloh Baptist church in January, 1911. Some of the pastor's achievements during his ministry at Shiloh are the renovation of the Sunday school room in March, 1911, at a cost of $1,937, the erection of a new parsonage building in 1912 at a cost of $2,000, designed and built by the pastor; new piano for the Sunday school in 1913, costing $250; purchased 300 hymn books for the pews at a cost of $55.30 and a new communion set in 1914. The membership grows steadily, and the people are generous in their support of the church and pastor. The officers of the church are: Deacons, Elmo Washington, Cato Frazier, George Walker, Austin Johnson, Spencer Lewis and John Harris; trustees, J. T. Lucas, S. G. Willis, Moses Scott and George Walker. Miss E. M. Gray is the organist.

The Star knows in no better way for lodges to do their "bit" in this war than for them now to arrange themselves into a kind of a co-operative body that the less fortunate brothers and sisters can and will be taken proper care of when the real famine comes this winter. Our oaths and obligations compel us to look after the widows, orphans and unfortunate members. What better aid, help, support or 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 Let Me Grow Y HAVE A PLENTIFUL SUPPLY OF Use Real Hair Grower, Real Shampoo.

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 com- that regulates the bowels and relieves exasperated and mild and sensitive feeling disappears.

We are our own masters, if we would rightly and intelligently use what means which are ours. Think of 100 Negroes putting $1 aside a month in a colored company or in a bank and buying pigs, horses, cattle, chickens, turkeys and Belgian hares and putting those animals on the ranches of our Negro farmers, what would it mean in two years to the farmer, yourself and our Denver community? A Negro auto transportation service, a Negro commission merchant and produce dealer, Negro distributor of eggs and poultry to Capitol Hill customers and a Negro general store in the farmers' settlement all because Denver and Colorado Negroes are working together. Study this picture and wisely develop your money and brains. Again, let us suppose every female who needed such an article would patronize the only corset maker in Denver and in Colorado, Miss Beatrice Lewis, in one week she would be compelled to hire extra help.

Success crowns all co-operative efforts. I'M GOING TO FIGHT FOR DIXIE LAND AND DEAR OLD UNCLE SAM. LAND AND DEAR OLD UNCLE SAM. I've done closed up my barber shop And packed up all my tools.

(Continued from page 1) Mr. Townsend graduated from the law school of Kansas State University in 1891, as Valedictorian of his class and the degree of L. L. B. was conferred by the faculty. He practiced in Leavenworth, Kans., ten years with great success when he removed to Pueblo, Colo., in 1901, where he, after being admitted to the U. S. Circuit and District Courts, won great distinction and being the only Colored lawyer who was ever admitted to practice in that county, also won much distinction as a criminal lawyer. He tried and won many complicated murder cases in Pueblo and appeared before the Board of Pardons in the famous Heck double murder case, also Trusty case. It was in the latter case where he had shown the failure of the "corpus delicti," but the judge would not grant his motion for acquittal which the Pardon Board later did. Lawyer Townsend located in Denver in October, 1809, and since that time he has won much praise for his successful efforts in conducting many difficult criminal and civil cases. The Smith, Robert Harris and Jett murder cases, as well as the McClain and Gertie Ross Civil Rights cases, getting $50 damages and costs in the one and $500 damages and costs in the other. Leading the Birth of the Nation fight he finally secured a dissolution of the temporary injunction forbidding the city to further restrain such plays. He arranged and was constantly active in perpetuating our old abolition celebrations, honoring Lovejoy, Garrison, Lincoln and Douglass. He caught Lawyer Joseph Stuart's spirit in his civil rights bill and at every opportunity he tried to force its executions. Lawyer Townsend was our ablest lawyer and strongest race man in Colorado and his place will be hard to fill. The mighty oak has fallen. Likened to the unwinding of a ball of usefulness and achievement, his life unwound to the end and then came the finishing of his earthly toils and responsibilities. Lawyer Townsend stood against all kinds of segregation: he fought incessantly and with undying vigor. He seemed to have heard the cries of his people beneath the vindictive lash and their bewailing moans amid lynchers' volces surrounded by the crackling flames. It was this beating and ever present irresistible impulse which caused him to ever be on the firing line for the race. Did he fall? No honest effort in a good cause can fail. His life, misunderstood, criticised and abused, may not be crowned with the applause of men; while replete with honors, sunshine, shadows and painful sorrows, it may not seem to touch the goal of worldly success, but it is not lost. His life helps to strengthen with new virtue and resisting vigor; to animate all with devotion to duty; which in the end conquer all. Fall! Did the Martyrs fall, when, with precious blood, they sowed the seed of the church? Did Sumner, Lovejoy, Wendell Phillips, Lincoln, Douglas and Paul Lawrence Dunbar fail when they gave freely their heartstrings to the cause of liberty and justice? Did the discomfitted champions of freedom and equality of all mankind fail, who have left their names in history that can never die? The the paths may look dark assurances appear tangible that the great cause of liberty, justice and equality to which Townsend, with the galaxy of others have dedicated themselves will soon sweep the heartstrings of the people in a worldwide movement. Then the principles for which Lawyer Townsend fought will still live and be perpetuated by us. Having gained the confidence and respect of the community, bench and bar, he was regarded as a good lawyer. Lawyer Townsend leaves a wife surviving and two sisters and one cousin, Mrs. Lillie Moore. His funeral will be at Shorter Church at 2:30 p.m., with the Knights of Pythias in charge and Douglas Undertaking Co. will have charge of the body. He being a Grand Officer, all branches of the order will turn out with the Queen City aBnd. TRAINING FOR SERVICE. Major Peal Is Pleased With Outlook at Camp Des Moines. Cleveland, O.—Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of the Cleveland Gazette, has received the following letter from a former native of this city, Major Allen S. Peal, former commandant and member of the faculty of Western university, Quindarid, Kan., and for several years, to date, principal of our schools at Bluefield, W. Va. Major Peal is at the military training camp at Fort Des Moines, In., and under date of June 18 writes as follows: Friend Smith—If I can pass the eye test I will pass the three months' training at this school under super conditions and with a full set of other applicants. The best spirit exists here, and the United States officers are of a high type. The race will gain much from this movement. Best wishes. Major Peal lived many years at Columbus, O., holding some important clerical positions in Franklin county offices before going to Quindaro. Elizabeth Fleming's Patriotic Work. Little Miss Elizabeth Fleming of East Sixty-fifth street. New York, conceived the idea of starting a fund to assist in equipping a regiment of colored soldiers for the war from the proceeds received from hand work sold for that purpose. It is said that the returns have already, amounted to over $100. By July 16 it is estimated that the above amount will be increased many times. Elizabeth is a young patriot of rare distinction and shows great interest in the colored people. (Continued from page 1). sult of segregation and "Birth of the Nation" lessons, when she is in a righteous war to help secure liberty, freedom and justice for all other nations on the earth outside of America except Negroes within and without America, but such a little thing is a mere bagatelle. The hand of injustice weighs heavily upon the Negroes now but regardless of the insults forced upon us; regardless of the fact that we are denied enlistment on equal terms with all other races in the Army, Navy and Marine Corps: yes, regardless of mobs, ghoulish and unspeakable black fiendishness, we are loyal American citizens, human beings paying an awful color and race toll and we feel very keenly that we are mistreated without protest from influential people. The Star suggests that 100 Negroes, armed to die could have put to flight the mob and there would have been no burning of the Negroes' property. Stop one thousand armed Negroes who were going to assist the East St. Louis officials, but these officials and guards men turn loose and join in the mob. Negroes, stay in St. Louis: don't be scared out nor run away from your homes. Come back and take up life again, if you have to live in a tent. Stay and see the thing thru. no matter what the daily papers print to scare you away. Don't be cowards: if you die, die for a just cause, which will live after you to empha size your death. Read the Editorial of Wednesday's News: THE STIGMA OF EAST ST. LOUIS What has taken place in the past week at E. St. Louis, Ill., U. S. A., indicates that much of the common world talk about "no nationalism" or internationalism and the immediate abolition of race prejudices, all leading, of course, to a world confederacy, is foolish talk and fails to take into account present day and world old history and the mob psc chology. Before we go too far along the will o' the wisp road we ought to remove the beam from our own eye, and not say overmuch about the mote in other nations' eyes. The reign of terror, the mob outbreak, the brutalities committed on women and children as well as men in the American city cannot be condoned. It is a blot upon the nation. There was very little, if any, excuse for the orgy of blood shed and incendiarism. It could not be alleged, as had of ten been done further south, that the Negro population was dangerously in the majority. Neither was it a matter of a moment's thought over an assault that made the blood boil. The attack upon the Negro quarter of the town was premeditated and inspired by selfishness. For days and nights there had been threats and minor outbreaks tending to terrorize the Negroes and compel them to go away. When these failed, the mob spirit gained control and things were done by white people that cannot be excused. Unquestionably the blood lust that is upon the world to day was responsible for the severity of the outbreak against the colored race in a city where they cut no figure. We are creatures of environment and we are at present surrounded by millions who see red and who have no other thought but to kill and be killed. It would be impossible for this section of the globe, so intimately wired with the European abbat toir, to escape the contagion. The blood thirstiness, exhibited for so long a period, against the colored population must be traced back to what has been taking place in three years in a large part of the earth. Even then the excuse is a thin whitewash. The outbreak against the colored race was economic, when it was not due to rank race hatred, dislike of a colored skin. Ne. roes were brought into the town by corporations to work. The whites took umbrage. White labor was supposed to be in jeopardy. The Negro must be taught a terrible lesson! We hope it may be possible for the federal authorities to take a part in the punishment of the ringleaders. Otherwise nothing of consequence is likely to be done. Much will be heard from foreign quarters regarding this race outbreak. It came at a most inopportune moment. Let the nation bow its head in sorrow for a moment today for the crimes committed by the relative few.

Brooklyn.-The annual June concert given by the Glee club of the Lexington avenue branch of the Young Women's Christian association in this city was held at Memorial hall Thursday, June 21. The public always looks forward with pleasure to any function given by the club and on the above occasion gave the young women fine support. The concert was directed by Mrs. Daisy Tapley, the noted contralto, piano and voice teacher. After the club's own rendition of Nevin's "Venezie" it presented Lisa Lehman's "In a Persian Garden," a song cycle for four solo voices. The quartet consisted of Miss Minnie Brown, soprano; Mrs. Daisy Tapley, contralto; Roland W. Hayes, tenor, and Henry T. Burleigh, bass. This is a splendid work in itself, built on the "Rubalyat" of Omar Khayyam, a Persian poem. The getting together of these voices in a work of this kind marks an epoch in the development of Negro musical history as heard on the concert stage. Mr. Hayes is the greatest Negro tenor and is possessed of a wonderfully beautiful natural voice, augmented with six years' constant study under one of the greatest teachers in Boston. Mr. Burleigh, as every one knows, is our greatest baritone soloist and musician. Miss Minnie Brown is well known, especially in New York city, as perhaps the best trained singer in our midst. It was an inspiration to all music lovers and students to listen to these four soloists who sang together as one voice, an unusual feature for solo singers. At the close of the program the stage was thronged with admiring friends, who congratulated the quartet and thanked Mrs. Tapley for having been instrumental in giving to Greater New York the finest concert that has been heard among colored people anywhere. JULY CRISIS MAGAZINE. Education Number of Great National Monthly Bristles With Merit. The education number of the Crisis for July, with its military cover drawn by Lorenzo Harris, now being circulated, is a remarkable number. First of all, the story of the colored graduates this year is astonishing. Four hundred and fifty-nine colored men and women have received the degree of bachelor of arts this spring, including four Phi Beta Kappa students in the largest northern institutions, one doctor of philosophy and six masters of arts. The leading colored colleges have sent out 222 bachelors of arts, with Howard, Biddle, Fisk and Lincoln in the lead. From the high schools nearly 2,000 colored children have been graduated, of whom the Crisis has record, and probably several hundred others. To this the Crisis adds an important article by his honor John Purry Mitchel, mayor of New York city, on the relation of colored people to the schools of New York. The Memphis horror is given a separate supplement of four pages, where the story of the barbarity is told in the words of Memphis' own white papers. It is a blood curdling tale. One of the best stories ever published by the Crisis is "Gray Eyes." by a young student of the Baltimore Colored high school. There is an article on debating and athletics in colored schools, and prizes are offered for essays on "The Best Summer 1 Ever Spent." These are to be sent in on or before July 8. The Crisis has reached the 30,000 mark of net paid circulation. This month's number, July, carries pictures of 100 of the colored college graduates. Ethical Culture Scholarship Fund. The Society For Ethical Culture at Indianapolis, Ind., at a recent meeting decided to increase its fund for scholarships to worthy students by a 5 cent monthly contribution from each member. This organization is doing splendid work and should be encouraged by the public, especially in the matter of raising funds for education and social service movements. New Carlton Avenue Y. M. C. A Home. The Carlton avenue branch, Y. M. C. A., has closed the contract for the erection of its new building at a cost of $200,000, including cost of plot and furnishings. The branch will have its headquarters at 907 Fulton street, Brooklyn, during building operations, which were begun on Thursday, May 24. Fifteenth Regiment First on War Basis Of the thirteen commands which have reached war basis in New York state the Fifteenth regiment of colored men in the national guard of New York was the first to reach the required standard. Thus again the colored man has shown his loyalty to the country. We congratulate Colonel William Hayward and his men upon their ability to get on the mark first. Men make circumstances; circum- stances make duties, and duty is de- tiny. "God give us men! A time like this demands Strong minds, great hearts, true faith, and ready hands. Men whom the lust of office does not kill; Men whom the spoils of office can- not buy; Men who possess opinions and a will; Men who have honor, and who will not lie; Men who can stand before a demog ogue And scorn his treacherous flatteries without winking. Tall men, sun-crowned, who live above the fog In public duty and in private think- ing!
