FEED GOLORED MEN OR QUIT BUSINESS.
Des Moines—(Special.) Des Moines cafe and restaurant owners who refuse to feed Negro soldiers from the Fort Des Moines training camp will be put out of business.
Such is the edict of Lieutenant Colonel George W. Ball of the First Iowa infantry.
A number of colored soldiers entered a local chop suey palace yesterday, and started for tables, when the Chinese proprietor rushed up, waved his arms wildly, and shouted:
"No servee black man. Me losee all my blizness!"
When the incident was reported at fort headquarters, Colonel Ball started on the war path. He promptly notified Safety Superintendent Ben Woolger that unless Des Moines restaurant owners fed these men as well as white patrons, action would be started to close their establishments. "This is government business, and there can be no refusal to serve food to these men," said Colonel Ball. Mr. Woolger is investigating cases in which Negro officers were refused service. Warning will be given all restauranteurs and drastic action will follow if any future attempts are made to draw the 'color line."—Advocate.
CARDINAL GIBBONS O K'S. NEGROES.
Addressing the Negro Students at Xavier university, New Orleans, recently, Cardinal Gibbons said:
In my dealings with the Colored race during nearly fifty years and in my experience with them I have been struck by the fact that they have three characteristics—First of all, they are exceedingly grateful, that is to say, they are all ways ready to acknowledge with gratitude any benefit and gratitude is one of the noblest virtues. Secondly, they are a very affectionate race, a warm hearted race their hearts easily expand. Thirdly, I am happy to say that the Colored people are deeply and naturally religious. There are some people, some races, that can hardly be aroused to recognize the Christian religion, whereas the Colored race is always responsive to religion. I have yet to see or hear of of the first Colored man who has ever proclaimed himself an aethiest or an unbeliever.
be brought into harmonious action. The awakening of men to spiritual realities is through the power of God. "He watching over Israel, Slumbers Not nor Sleeps!"—Washington Eagle.

TWENTY-NINTH YEAR
BY THIS SHOULD WE CONQUER FOR HUMANITY IS ONE.
The ancient superstition which divides mankind into many distinct races, while still adhered to by most people, is fast losing its hold. Like all the shades of darkness, it disappears in the light of science sociology and progressive religion. The American Indian, called red-men, and once regarded as a distinct racial entity, are now known to have come originally from Asia and to be one with the Mongols. Rawlinson, in his ancient manual of history finds as the only difference between certain people in South-western Asia and others in Africa, that the former have "curly hair and the latter "crispy" hair The common sense of men must repudiate a distinction of racial stocks upon so slight and superficial a difference. One who attempts to trace the so-called races, white, yellow, red, brown and black, finds innumerable over lappings. Any apparent line of division is so varied, dim and shadowy as to puzzle the savant. Who can tell with certainty where one "race" ends and another begins?
Getting down to brass tacks the conclusion to an open mind is irresistible, the only race is the human race! No part of it, no group of it, can claim superiority over another without making itself ridiculous and setting in motion the forces of its own decay. The idea of radical supremacy is also repugnant to the spirit of religion. Can a man love God and despise his brother? The outward appearances of men vary as the flowers and trees of the forest. Should they hate each other because of this? Should any man claim superiority on account of his color, a condition over which he has no control? Humanity has a common origin. All signs of the times point to the oneness of the world of humanity as a principle which must soon be recognized by all men. For the world at present, through the horrible cataclysm of a world war, has become a melting pot in which the prejudices of race are consumed. The survivors of this terrible time of suffering will learn their lesson. They will be too wise, through suffering, to hate each other on account of superficial differences.
Out of many so-called races, the one great cosmic race, composed of all the elements, will be evolved. Out of many languages and dialects will come a universal tongue. Out of many dogmas and creeds which divide humanity will come a pure religion, faith in God the Supreme, to unite men. This work exceeds the powers of men. There must be a great collective center around which praiseworthy actions can revolve and thru which they can
Man, Lawyer and Race Defender
Born a slave and sold many times as an ignorant boy, he became to know not only his a. b. c.'s but he became, the master of laconic English embroidered with the sharpest sarcasm and ironical repartee. Fame soon measured him not by the heights attained but from the profound depths of ignorance from whence he came. His name can be found in the Race book, Simm's'Men of Mark'. While a pigmy in opportunity he grew to be a giant in intellect and achievement. Thus he lived, thus he died and thus he was buried."
Appropriate resolutions from the three Pythian lodges. Negro Women's Club Ass'n and the Denver Non Partisan league of which he was President were read after which came the Pythian ceremony. Too much credit cannot be given Mr. Reed, Embalmer and funeral director for his services,duly bestowing honor upon the Douglass Undertaking Co.
DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JULY 14, 1917
NEGROES WANTED AVIATORS
Negroes are to be used in the Army Aviation by the War Department. This fact was made known here in a telegram sent by the War Department to President W. S. Scarborough of Wilberforce University, which read:
Three Thousand People Crowd Shorter to View Remains. Knights of Pythias Do Honor
Denver did herself full of honor Sunday. Her noble and inspiring tribute to Attorney Wm. Bolden Townsend from a viewpoint of a patriotic and racial demonstration of the worth and character of the man, lawyer and race defender was the greatest civic outpouring in the history of the city. It was far more than a funeral, a mere assembling of friends and curious onlookers, it was an uncontrolled outburst of a deep-seated and silent feeling of devotion, respect and appreciation for a man who had gladly and unreservedly sacrificed his money, property, honor and political ambitions for the betterment of his race in particular and mankind in general. This occasion merely showed the real truth and sentiment of a people who loved their leaders.
"Minimum age limit for candidates for Army Aviation has been reduced to 19 years. Your assistance in getting this information into the hands of your best military students will be greatly appreciated. The air service needs athletes who are quick-witted, punctual and reliable. Intelligent men accustomed to making quick decisions are desirable. Men who ride well and can a motorboat or handle a motorcycle usually make good air pilots."
Nearly 3,000 people viewed the corpse, Shorter Church being packed inside and both in front and back and on the sides with eager waiting persons trying in some way to honor our fallen hero by their presence. While all Denver poured forth to do this man reverence, it was all barren of pomp and panegyrics. An automobile full of floral designs, flowers wreaths and boquet where conspicuous because of their great abundance. The noble order of the Knights of Pythians led by the invincible Queen City Band with perfect and solemn step escorted their brother to and from the church, giving him all the honors due any grand and beloved knight. The Uniform rank sounded taps while the subordinate lodges held their heads bowed in silence as they laid him away in the cold silent grave from whose bourne no traveller is ever known to return. Thus the Lodge buried him; the simple yet intensely impressive service of eulogies was arranged by Ex-Grand Chancellor, Dr. J. H. P. Westbrook who deserves the highest honor and praise for such an impressionable program of citizens who told of the life, success and struggles of Wm. B. Townsend. The funeral processional, led by Reverends C. A. Williams and Ward, Dr. Randolph and A. E. Reynolds was followed by the close step of the Uniform Rank and three subordinate lodges.
At the Annual Junior Oratorical Contest of the State College, held in the Auditorium of the State College, Monday evening, June 11th, a young man was awarded the second prize. This was the 44th annual contest and it was unique, in that, for the first time a woman contested and also a colored man, and both secured the coveted prizes. Applicants enter at the beginning of the second semester in February, and by elimination are cut down to six, but this year because of war conditions it was cut to four. Joseph Leland Johnson, of this city, was one of the envied four and he not only was awarded second prize, but was the center of a demonstration never before witnessed at the contest, it being a full hour before he could leave the stage after his oration. Mr. Johnson is a brother of our well known citizen, W. T. M. Johnson, who is noted also for his oratory.
The eulogies given were from Rev. A. M. Ward, 'Kansas Remeniscences,' Hewetson Watson, "As a Journalist," Rev. D. E. Over 'As a Race Man,' Dr. Wm. H. Sharply, Ex Mayor of Denver, 'As I Knew him' Lawyer George G. Ross, 'As Lawyer and Race Defender, 'George W. Gross 'As a Citizen' Lawyer F.D. Taggert (white) 'His Professional standing at the Bar' and interspersed with his favorite solos by his favorite singers, Miss Jessie Andrews 'Flee as a Bird' and Senior Morgan Jackson 'The End of a Perfect Day and songs by the Choir. Dr. Grant of Colorado Springs and Mr. Thompson of Pueblo also occupied places of honor within the rail ing.
Thus said Master of Ceremonies. Dr. Westbrook, 'So in the busy rush and noise of life memories of past friendships cause us to pause and pay reverence to a fallen comrade. Those of us who knew Judge Townsend best loved him most. Full of years with his shield untarnished he yielded at last to the Great Conqueror. And if every one for whom he had done some loving kindness could come to his sacred bier and cast a simple rose, he would sleep beneath a wilderness of flowers.' Little over 60 years the little heart of Wm. Bolden Townsend began to beat in a log cabin hut in the woods of Huntsville, Ala.—a heart that was destined to swell with hopes and throb with the greatest griefs of one of the great races on earth. The painstaking and sacrificing mother never knew that one day in Denver, Colo. her son who had pio neered the way. blasted thru mountains of prejudices and tunneled amid rocks of race ha: oulder of segregation bridged by many valleys of the despairing and helpless with a carpet of racial love and devotion, would be honored as the first man of our state such as never before had been bestowed upon anyone.
Captain's Commission for Police Officer.
Alonzo Myers, a policeman of the Moyamensing avenue and Dickinson street station, was notified by the War Department on Wednesday that he has been commissioned a captain for the Negro officers' training camp at Des Moines Ia. He will leave Philadelphia on Friday. Myers, who lives at 1825, Christian street, has a fine record for bravery both in the army and police force. He served in Cuba during the Spanish-American war and also in the Philippines during the insurrection. Congress awarded him a Mc Kinley medal for bravery.
We will devote the next issue to printing full details of the East St. Louis outrages.
Joshua Smith, a graduate of the Plainfield High School, was awarded the bronze medal in the annual New Jersey State Stenographic Contest held Inge 9th. He was the only race representative in the contest.

Plans For Taking Care of Woodmen National Convention Materializing Satisfactory.
All committees of the local camp for the taking care of the delegates to the National Convention have been appointed and their duties out lined, on a printed folder that has been placed in the hands of each member of the camp here. At present, the committee on homes has a most arduous task before it. Mr. T. S. Clinkscale, who is chairman of this committee, has mapped out the city in various blocks or sections, assign two committeeman is provided with printed cards that are to be signed by those who are able to help out with the delegates. He has his committee well in hand and everything seems to be progressing very nicely.
The oversight committee will meet Wednesday night, July 18th at Fern Hall. At the same time all applicants selected will also meet and be obligated and secure their certificates. The indications are that the delegation will be larger than at first expected. Nearly every camp throughout the jurisdiction is sending in the names of delegates and asking for credentials.
Everything possible is being done to line up for this occasion so that there will be no confusion or lack of proper care and facilities provided. The office force has recently been increased by securing the services of Miss Julia C. Hunt who is an expert stenographer from Marshall, Texas, and also the services of Miss C. Alberta Boswell, of Dallas, Texas. Everything is being so aranged that during the Convention the routine work of the office might go on in its usual smooth course. Every good citizen of Denver who is eligible should a vail themselves of the present low dispensation of $2.50 and join the ranks of this, the greatest Negro organization of America.
The opening exercises of this Convention will be held at the Auditorium as already announced, while the regular sessions will be held at Shorter's A.M.E. Church.
Blacks Defeat Segregation Act in Muskogee
The proposed segregation ordinance which wnarrow minded unpatriotic white men sought to pass here was defeated by the city council last week after a determined fight made against the nefarious bill by the colored people of this city through the local business league.

The Ushers' Club of Campbell Chapel was banqueted by Mr. Samuel Johnson at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Emanuel Pollard on East 24th Avenue, Monday evening. Guests of honor were present from Shorter Chapel, Zion Baptist and the Church of the Redeemer, Protestant Episcopal.
Mr. Pollard read a very helpful and interesting paper upon "The Needs of the Negro." Mrs. Eugene Moore rendered pleasing vocal solos. Miss Ethel Fitzhugh was in charge of the program, which also included two of Dunbar's selections by Mr. Wilson. Mrs. Minne Hayes and Mr. Moore furnished special music. The dinner was served in courses—upon which the gathering feasted till after midnight.

Sunday morning a splendid congregation filled the auditorium at Zion. The pastor's sermon evidently reached the heart of the attentive worshippers. Six souls, Mrs. Carolina Smith, Margarite Turner, Earl Williams, Ruth Penny, Thelma Maxwell and Ovita Penny, responded to the invitation, the latter three coming for baptism. At the close of the service the rite of baptism was administered to Sister Maxwell and Sister Payme. The evening storm which put the wiring system out of commission left the church in darkness and made it necessary to dismiss the evening congregation before the service began.
Monday night the Invincible Concert Company gave a wonderful demonstration of musical talent and ability to a large audience. Without question this company is in a class alone. The two blind men, Messrs. Johnson and Mackey, are not only masters of many musical instruments, but also vocalists of great power. Mr. Cooper, the ventriloquist, is simply without equal. No concert ever presented at Zion has given greater satisfaction or received more hearty applause.
On the 7th of August The Williams' Singers will be presented in the City Auditorium. All Denver knows this to be the musical event of the season. During their four preceding visits their popularity has steadily grown. It is expected that the fifth tour will see a response which will tax the capacity of that great theatre. Tickets will be on sale in a few days at the usual prices. Experience has proven that those who want seats desirable must secure them early. The Zion Annual Picnic will leave the Union Station for Dome Rock, next Thursday morning at 8:30. Don't fall to be there.

Sunday afternoon at four o'clock the Vesper services will be led by Mrs. Jennie Hicks-Le Noir. Members and friends are invited to attend. Dr. J. H. P. Westbrook will be the speaker at the meeting Monday night. An excellent program has been prepared. Tuesday, July 17th, the Grade School Girls will hold their doll-dressing contest. The admission is 10 cents. The program will be rendered by the girls. The friends are asked to attend this entertainment. Members are asked to register for the Bible class which opens in September. Any girl or woman can enter this class. The High School Girls held their meeting at City Park, Wednesday afternoon. Those desiring to play Tennis should register with Mrs. Helen Johnson, chairman of the recreation department.
The club is very grateful to the friends who have been so loyal to Mrs. Johnson and her committee in building the tennis court. The net for the court was given by Mrs. Froman and the tape was given by Mr. Luther Walton. The court was built
by Messrs. Johnson and Owens. We also wish to thank the firemen of Hose Co. No. 3 for flooding the court for us.
Y. M. C. A. NOTES.
At a recent meeting of the Committee of Management, it was thought best to discontinue the Sunday afternoon meetings for men during the remainder of the summer. This was done because of the feeling on the part of the men that during the hot months they prefer their afternoons for rest and recreation. According to present plans the meetings will open up again about the second Sunday in September. From this time on choral society will meet regularly every Thursday evening at eight o'clock at the Y. M. C. A. rooms. It was thought at one time to extend the time of rendering the cantata until a later period; but it has been decided to bring it on at the time first announced, namely, August 15th. Everyone fully realizes thathard work will be required to render it successfully, and has gone to work.with a will. No rehearsals will be held on Tuesday evenings.
Dr. LeFrantz, our chairman, is considerably improved, over his former condition. We are hoping to have him with us again in a few days.
BOULDER NOTES.
Denver people are finding no better place to spend their Sundays than in Beautiful Boulder, judging from the many who come each Sunday. The latest visitors were Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Thrower, Mr. and Mrs. Myers, Mesdames Chas. Muse, Lynette Anderson, H. Gash, all of Denver, and Miss Hundley of St. Joe, Mo., This party worshipped at Allen Chapel then went to蓝bell canon to spend the afternoon and eat lunch. Upon their return they were served to cooling refreshments by Rev. and Mrs. A. W. Ward, at the parsonage. Mr. and Mrs. Goss, Messrs. Elbert Robinson and Jas. Obanilon, and Miss Robinson, motored to Boulder and visited with Rev and Mrs. Ward on Sunday. Mr. George Reeves visited in Denver last week. Mrs. Reona Allen and the ladies of Second Baptist church entertained for the Red Cross benefit last Friday. A neat sum was realized. The home of Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Buckhalter was the scene of a delightful social on July 4th, under auspices of the "Recruits." The Hon. Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Gross spent Sunday in Boulder. Mr. Gross delivered a stirring address on "A Step Toward Democracy," to a capacity house at Allen Chapel on Sunday night. Mr. Krould has gone to Portland to enlist in the ship building corps of the government. Miss Mae Jackson of Kansas City, spent the 4th with Miss Inez Williams, who is here attending summer school. The baby son of Mr. and Mrs. Joshua Reeves suffered severe body and face burns last week, but is much improved at the present. Messrs. Oscar White and James Winn are on the sick list. Mr. James Hall and sons went for a big fishing trip Tuesday. The boys came up from Denver in an auto truck to carry back the fish. Miss Drew of Columbia, Mo., and Miss Brewster of Dallas, Texas, are in the city for the summer. The Mutual Literary Society was addressed by Prof. Dawley of Lincoln High School in Kansas City on last Tuesday.

FORWARD MARCH AT WILBERFORCE!
Noted Ohio Institution Closes With Fine Program.
Fifty-fourth Anniversary Commencement Season Affords Period of Joy and Inspiration to Faculty and Students—Miss Margaret E. Watkins of Xenia Receives Honors.
The June commencement exercises at Wilberforce university, Wilberforce, O., marked the fifty-fourth anniversary of the existence of this pioneer institution for higher education. The commencement season was one of joy and inspiration to both faculty and students. There were many persons of prominence in attendance, who vied with each other in lying homage to President W. S. F. Borough, the board of trustees and the faculty and students for the high mark of efficiency shown during the school year.
At 10 o'clock a. m on graduation day President Scarborough, accompanied by the speaker of the day, the Hon. Richard T. Greener of Chicago,
P.
HON. RICHARD T. GREENER.
Dr. Daniel Williams, the noted physician of Chicago and head of the surgical staff of St. Luke's hospital; Dr. William Galloway, president of the C. N. and I. board and trustees; the bishops of the A. M. E. church and graduating students, headed the line of march and proceeded to the auditorium of Galloway hall, in which the exercises were held. Two thousand persons were in attendance.
After prayer by the Rev. Dr. R. C. Ransom of New York President Scarborough introduced Hon. Richard T. Greener, who delivered the annual address, speaking at length on "The Old and the New Education," tracing the rise of the old systems of Greece and Rome. "The contrast of the cultured civilization of the one," said the speaker, "is against the militarism of Rome. The rise of the universities of the middle ages, thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, down to the American systems was inherited from England. The new education with us began about the year 1866 with the famous address of Dr. Hedge, which led to the election of Professor Elliott, who is known all over the land as a science teacher.
"A college or university is distinguished by its instructors, and the object of the instruction should be to stimulate and arouse the ambitions and the appreciation of character, the true, the beautiful and the good. We should have no hesitancy in accepting the new methods. It would be a reflection on the present day civilization to say that the old is better than the new. The education had to become practicable and adapted to the diversified talents and wants of the race.
"There was a time when education was solely for men, but today it includes men and women, which means the co-ordinate development of the race." The speaker referred to such educators as John Stuart Mill, John Ruskian, Carlyle, John Henry Newman, Daniel A. Payne, Booker T. Washington, President Scarborough and others, urging the graduates who were to receive their diplomas at the close of the exercises to read the works of the authors named, that they give stimulation, that their works were useful because they tell how to act, how to live and regulate the true educational value of study.
Following the commencement address by the Hon. Mr. Greener, the presentation of diplomas and certificates and the conferring of honorary degrees took place. The diplomas were presented to the graduates' by President Scarborough, while the presen-tion speeches were delivered by Dean Gilbert H. Jones, Dean George F. Woodson and Superintendent William A. Joiner, Miss Margaret E. Watkins, a young Xenia girl, received the highest honors in the college department magna cum laude. Miss Watkins who is a very brilliant student, completed the course in three years, which is an unusual record. W. B. Johnson of St. Louis received the second highest honors. Degrees were conferred by the uni-versity as follows through President W. S. Scarborough:
The honorary degree of LL. D. was conferred upon the commencement speaker, Richard T. Greener of Chi
cage, former United States consul to Bombay and Vladivostok, the official representative of Japanese and British interests in Siberia during the Russian-Japanese war and the holder of other prominent official offices. He was the first Negro graduate of Harvard university. He was admitted to the bar in 1870 and was dean of the law faculty of Howard university, Washington, for a time and was law clerk to the first comptroller of the United States treasury. The LL. D. degree was also conferred upon Robert C. Barnes, a lawyer of Detroit, and James Logan Curtis, United States minister to Liberia and an alumnus of Wilberforce.
The honorary degree of master of arts was conferred upon William H. York, major of the constabulary of the frontier forces in Liberia, an alumnus; Dr. T. C. Chapman, a prominent dentist of Kansas City, an alumnus, and Professor E. A. Meyzeek, principal of the normal school at Louisville, Ky. The following graduates received degrees: Classical course, bachelor of arts, Gartrell J. Galnes, Valdosta, Ga.; Clay E. Hunter, Yellow Springs, O.; Charles Gardner Read, Charleston, S. C.; Iolene Springfield, Owensboro, Ky.; Isaac E. Steady, Steerla Leone, West Africa; Marguerite Elizabeth Watkins, Venia (summa cum laude).

MISS BAKER LEADS CLASS.
Cambridge Girl Wins Highest Honors In Class of 250.
It is a pleasure to note the number of graduates from the different schools in Greater Boston for the school year 1917, which by far exceeds the number of former years. Some will enter institutions of higher learning; others will go into the various occupations as they see fit. Whatever capacity of work they may be engaged in, we hope that their previous training will be an incentive for continued study and perseverance in order to be prepared to meet the necessary requirements in life, says the Boston Guardian.
Miss Irma M. Baker of 77 Prentiss street graduated from the Cambridge English high and Latin school with the proud distinction of winning the highest honor out of a class of 250 girls. She delivered the salutatory address on "Success" before the largest crowd that ever assembled for a graduation at Sanders theater. Never before in Cambridge, the city noted for its schools and colleges of learning, has a colored girl achieved such honors, and today not only her parents, who, we know, feel proud, but the whole race, join in the praise of this great honor. During the four years of her attendance she has never been late or absent.

We, as American citizens, respectfully state to the Government of the United States that Ireland is a distinct nation, deprived of her liberty by force and held in subjection by England by military power alone. As America has entered the war for the preservation of democracy and the freedom of small nationalities, this Government is in honor bound to apply this principle impartially in all cases people held in subjection, whether they are under the jurisdiction of Germany, like England, or under the jurisdiction of America cannot be a party to any scheme of world-peace which withholds from any nation the God-given right of freedom, the only final settlement must be the complete independence of Ireland.
America has the right, by her entry into the war, to demand it from England, not in the Peace Conference at the close of the war, but now.
We therefore respectfully urge upon the President and the Congress the necessity and good policy of giving a great example to the world by insisting that England shall grant Ireland complete national independence. We earnestly hope that, like Cuba, Ireland will be made free by the action of America.

In memoriam of, William Bolden Townsend, by the Colored Citizens Non-Partisan League, read by Victor Walker at his funeral services at Shorter A. M. E. Church, July 8. Victor Walker, Vice-President, Alice Webb, Secretary, Dr. J. H. P. Westbrook, Chairman of Executive Committee.
of Executive Committee.
William Bolden Townsend, one of the daring and adventurous spirits of the race, who, after the Civil War, braved the privations and humiliation of race prejudice and fought his way through school and college to an eminent place among the race's great leaders, has been called to another and higher life by the Supreme Ruler of the Universe.
William Bolden Townsend founded and shared in the upbuilding of the Colored Citizens' Non-partisan League. He dedicated his life to the principles of equal rights and equal opportunity for mankind.
He practiced law in this State for 16 years and, lured on by the hope and ambition which were part of his manhood, scaled the mountains of unequal accomplishment and penetrated the gloomy and forbidden valley of race hatred. And thus he won command over and the respect of his people.
While on the very crest of his great influence, surrounded by the love of his people, Judge Townsend passed away. Having lived his allotted span of life, he bravely answered the final call. His death has brought sorrow to the hearts of the members of this League and he will be mourned for long, by many thousands throughout this State and Nation
William Bolden Townsend was a man of forceful character and preeminent abilities. In all walks of life he was a consistent race man and a thorough Westerner, the best type of American Citizenship.
As a friend he was always steadfast and true. As an enemy he was upright and fair, albeit a man worthy of the ablest foe.
As a token of appreciation of his distinguished services and the regard for his memory, which will long be held by members of this league, and of his race, it is herewith resolved by the Colored Citizens' League, in special session assembled, that this tribute and memorial be spread upon the records of the league, and that an engrossed copy be presented to his bereaved family.

ENCOURAGE BOY SCOUTS TO JOIN
Y. M. C. A. COMPANIES.
Sometime previous Rev. D. E. Over started out to secure recognition for the Colored boys in this city by trying to get the white organization of Boy Scouts to affiliate with the Colored by permitting them to join the Boy Scouts' movement, little did he think that while he did not accomplish then what he had hoped for, that he was sowing seeds in the hearts of men who later, getting control, desired to put into execution his ambitions. The invitation came thru the Y. M. C. A. for the Colored boys to organize into companies and financial aid was pledged them by wealthy persons. For that reason L. H. Lightner, Wm. Parks and Secretary Thomas Bell have gotten busy and our boys will have an organization just as good as any. Let your boy join and give every aid and assistance to the movement. Now is the time and Denver is the place to start to train our boys service. Let everybody boost for the Boy Scout of Color. Already Rev. Over can see some result of the work started by him sometime ago.

DENVER LOES GOOD CITIZEN
AND CHURCHMAN.
Because Mrs. Rosa C. Johnson, a former member of the Taka Art Club and Shorter church, was compelled, on the account of her health, to leave Colorado, her husband, Wm. A. Johnson, who has been in Denver 16 years and who is prominent in church and lodge activities, left Wednesday night for Los Angeles for an indefinite stay. He will make several stops while enroute via the U. P. R. R., to San Francisco to Los Angeles. Having prospected for gold the past three years that he was here and having held responsible positions in Shorter church during his 9 years of membership, he was loathe to leave. He goes highly recommended as he has filled the positions of President and Bible Instructor of the Bible Class of the Ushers' Board. Denver's loss is Los Angeles' gain. May he and his wife have good health and good luck while on their visit. Mrs. Johnson is at 1119 East Adams St. Los Angeles, Calif.

ORDER OF TENTS MAKES PROGRESS
Eleventh Annual Session Held At Wilmington, N. C.
MANY DELEGATES PRESENT
Friendly Relations Between the Races Shown at Meeting of Thrifty Organization Founded and Supervised by Mrs. Victoria Loftin — Cornerstone Laid For Tents' New Building.
BY GEORGE P. KING.
Wilmington, N. C.—The eleventh annual session of Tents of the Independent Order of J. R. Gidding and Jolliffe Union, which was recently held in this city, was an epocal affair among the Afro-American women of this section of the south. Over 300 delegates attended the convention. They were representative women of our race who are doing effective work along special lines. Many of the leading white citizens paid a glowing tribute to Mrs. Victoria Loftin and her associates for the splendid work that they are doing. Mayor P. Q. Moore delivered an able welcome address on behalf of the city.
Accentuating charity, fidelity and the ability to be true to the task imposed upon Afro-American women, especially in states in which this order is operating, the order was founded in this city and a charter granted to it in the month of March, 1906. The founder is Mrs. Victoria Loftin of this city. With only eighty-four members she started business as soon as the charter was granted by this state. These young tents seemingly struck a popular chord, and by judicious management and

thrift the order now has over 8,000 members in North and South Carolina and several other states.
This fraternity is composed of only women, and these women have paid every death claim promptly. As a security for their policy holders Mrs. Loftin and her excellent co-workers have deposited with the insurance commissioner of North Carolina $5,000 and $5,000 with the insurance commissioner of South Carolina. The headquarters for the South Carolina grand lodge are at Marion, S. C.
The home office of this extraordinary movement of women is located in this city, and these zealous women are setting a wholesome example for thousands of men of the race by their aspirations and achievements. They are now erecting here a handsome three story building for their home office for the entire order. On the first floor will be stores; the second floor will be offices; third floor auditorium and lodge rooms. The building will be modern in every detail. These progressive women are paying for the building during its erection—that is, each week the contractor is paid for what he has done, and the order is kept out of debt. This structure is not being erected with money procured from a building and loan association, but by the women contributing their mites weekly.
A pertinent feature of the recent convention of this order was the cornerstone laying by the Masonic lodges of this city, at which time Dr. R. B. McRary, M. W. G. Master of the jurisdiction of North Carolina and Colonel James H. Young, R. W. G. E. S, and deputy grand master of the Odd Fellows of this state, officiated and made excellent addresses.
The head and founder of this society, Mrs. Loftin, is bruitful of optimism, and despite the many obstacles she experienced in the beginning she has judiciously managed its affairs until it has attained its present stage of prominence and service.
Wilmington Honors Dr. J. O. Hopkins

Dr. Hopkins received a majority vote of 200 over his opponent. He is a native of Kent county, Md. After his graduation from the high school at Wilmington he entered the College of Pharmacy at Philadelphia, from which he graduated and then went into the drug business at Wellington.

CROWDS ZION.
The Blind Artists, Johnson and Mackey, stand out today as the greatest demonstration as to what can be done with persons handicapped in life such as they are. And yet they earn a nice living, more than several persons not so much handicapped in life. Their musical work was grand, especially shown in "Poet and Peasant," "Anvil Chorus," "Rocked in the Cradle of the Deep," by Johnson, and "Rosary," with chimes imitations, by Mackey, as well as "Hard Times in Old Town Tonight." The ventriloquist, Cooper, was exceptionally good, while the ladies, Mesdames Cooper and Johnson, clearly evinced their fitness in their songs. Their next appearance here will be in the City Auditorium next year, the year of the Colored Women's National Convention of Colored Women's Clubs.
Misses Albert Boswell of Dallas, Texas, and Julia C. Hunt of Marshall, Texas, are recent additions to the staff of the American Woodmen.
WE HAVE LOST A GREAT FRIEND AND LEADER.
I have not words with which to express the deep sense of feeling or regret over the loss of our dear friend and statesman, Judge W. B. Townsend, of whom I have known for more than sixteen years and have always known him to be a man that the Negro race could trust and, at any where and time, always willing and ready to give his very life for his race. I believe that I express the sentiments of every loyal man and woman of the race in the state of Colorado, when I say that we mourn in our hearts the death of our friend and great leader, W. B. Townsend. Life is real Life is earnest. And the grave is not its goal; Dust thou art to dust returneth. Was not spoken of the soul.

I did not expect to receive my money

and I certainly will recommend the

fair, prompt and satisfactory treatment

Very truly yours,

Because every member of the lodge, especially the 18 drilled ladies of the team, worked like beavers for the great success attained at Tuilleries Park last Tuesday, too much praise cannot be given them. Spanish War Veteran W. H. Robinson justly feels proud of his teachings of the ladies. The Star thinks he deserves great praise. The Masonic brethren were great boosters which was greatly appreciated by Worthy Matron Georgia Contee, Chairman of Committee Mrs. Lizzie Richardson, and Treasurer of Committee, Mrs. A. S. Hamilton. A neat sum was realized. Mrs. Ryan, who brought in over $103 for Evergreen Chapter, won a beautiful diamond ring which she wears with swelling pride.

To The Denver Star:
Greetings.
In accordance with the National feeling that we should curtail expenses in every direction, and with the feeling of the National Defense Council that sectional conventions be discouraged as the war situation becomes more acute, we have found it advisable to postpone the meeting of the North-Western Fed of C. W. C. until the week before the National Meeting, 1918.
The Women's Searchlight Club of Cheyenne, Wyo., very cordially continue its invitation until that time.
We respectfully ask for your co-operation in this affair.
Yours for the extension of women's work through same measure.

COMING—WOODMEN—COMING.
The American Woodmen, the largest and strongest insurance society among the Negroes, whose offices are located here, will be here in August, and The Star sincerely trusts all of our business places will go to some expense and decorate for their coming. No better demonstration could be made than for the Negroes themselves to lead off in boosting, honoring and welcoming our many guests in such a gala manner. These men and women, and this occasion, will be just as big and representative as we ourselves make it. The fraternal insurance society will have its hands full working out details. There is a duty devolved upon 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. Not only them, but the coming Eastern Star and the National Federation of Women's Clubs. Get busy and let each home prepare to put out flags — American — while our business places will properly display bunting and the like.

RURAL SCHOOLS AND THEIR NEEDS
DIVISION OF SCHOOL FUNDS
Failure of the States to Make Adequate Provision For Agricultural Education Emphasized In Federal Bureau Report—Attitude of Educated Group of Colored People In Rural Subjects.
In his report dealing with the facilities for education in the south among colored people Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones of the federal bureau of education at Washington emphasizes the needs of the rural schools. He says:
"According to the report of the state superintendent, the expenditures for white schools in Alabama increased tenfold between 1880 and 1910, white those for the Negro schools doubled. Similar expenditures in North Carolina increased eightfold for the white schools and threefold for the Negro schools. It is noteworthy that practically all these increases have taken place since 1900. In most of these improvements the city schools have been favored to the neglect of the rural schools both for white and colored pupils.
"The following quotation from the report of the North Carolina state superintendent of public instruction is significant: 'It will be observed that considerably more was spent on rural Negro schools in 1895 than in 1905. Suppose our white schools showed the same results for the past twenty years.' Would we not be necessarily alarmed at that evidence of lack of progress?" Dr. Jones lays great stress on the remarkable progress in agriculture made by the colored people of the south, where nearly 80 per cent of the Negroes live in rural communities. By 1910, the last available census, 893,370 Negroes owned their farms or cultivated land as tenants. This is an increase of 16.4 per cent over the figure for 1900. Of the total 218,972 were proprietors and 672,904 were tenants.
"Preparation for rural life is the greatest educational problem of the white and colored people of the south. The rural education of the Negro is absolutely essential, not only to the welfare of the race, but also to the successful development of the southern states. Though rural opportunities are perhaps least appreciated by the educated group of colored people, they are those in which the Negroes are making their most remarkable gains. Rural life represents both the best progress and the greatest needs of the colored people. All plans for their improvement must give large consideration to the problems of rural life.
"Important as this phase of education is both to the south and to the colored people, the public and private facilities provided are very inadequate. Other than the agricultural and mechanical schools, largely maintained by federal funds, the states make practically no provision for the agricultural education of Negroes. Of the private schools, Hampton institute, Tuskegee institute and a few smaller institutions, are making a genuine effort to prepare pupils for rural life. With very few exceptions, however, the colored schools have failed to develop an interest in rural problems. The large majority have not even tried.
"The explanation of the indifference is in the conviction of the colorged people that the way to prosperity and happiness is the study of literary subjects and especially the classical languages. In this they are following the example of the white people, who are only now beginning to see the error of their belief. This conviction is emphasized by the life of drudgery which the pupils in colored schools have always seen to be the lot of colored farmers.
"A partial explanation for the failure of the schools lies in poorly prepared agricultural teachers who have themselves only a weak hearted belief in rural life. With inadequate training and a lukewarm interest in their subject these teachers have endeavored to make use of large farms in their educational efforts. Failure was inevitable. The emphatic conclusion of this study is, therefore, that the first step in rural education should be the enthusiastic advocacy of the theory and practice of gardening for every colored pupil.
"Along with this instruction in gardening for the elementary pupil manual training should be taught. In the teaching of both agriculture and trade to the beginners there is no need for an extensive farm and expensive shop equipment. What should be done is the children how to do those
to teach simple things about their farms and houses which, if well done, will make their homes better and healthier in which to live.
"If too big a school plant is attempted the cost of upkeep will use up money needed to get good teachers, and training on the farm or in the shops will lose its educational inspiration and become more drudgery for both pupil and teacher. For the other children who decide to make farming their life work a two year course would be sufficient, and for those who would become managers of large farms or teachers of agriculture a four year course will cover all phases of the subject."
PRAISE FOR DR. SHEPARD.
Institution at Durham, N. C., Closed School Year Free of Debt.
From all sections of the country reports have come showing that a larger number of young men and women have graduated from the higher institutions of learning for the school year 1917 than ever before. The financial condition of many of these institutions is also good considering the stringent times caused by the European war and America's entrance into the same. Among the institutions of the higher type which closed the fiscal year clear of debt is the National Training school at Durham, N. C., of which Dr. James E. Shepard is president. William T. Bost of Raleigh, N. C., in a letter to the New York Evening Post regarding Dr. Shepard says: "Permit me to say for a prominent colored man and untiring worker for
A. B.
DR, JAMES E. SHEPARD.
his race, Dr. James E. Shepard, that in the recent commencement exercises of the National Training school at Durham, N. C., of which he is president, a condition was disclosed that is a very inspiring example to all people.
"The Evening Post's clientele has been contributor to the philanthropies that have revolutionized the thinking on what is known as the Negro problem. Fifty years ago this missionary work began. There was little disposition to interfere with the black man if he were trained merely to do useful work. Fifty years later is a demand for similar training in all the schools for all the children.
"Dr. Shepard less than a decade ago established his school. It has had more than its share of ups and downs, but a few days ago, when he closed the year, he was able to present a clean sheet for the second time in as many school years.
"A man of his pull and prominence had every temptation to go north, where salaries are larger, work lighter and worries absent. Instead he has put his school finally on a business basis, has converted unbelieving enemies and despairing friends and won to his institution the friendship of substantially all the white people of his community and the state.
"I think it a valuable lesson to those who have not felt the thrill and the blessedness of battle to know that in the colored race here in North Carolina are men and women who are ideal Christians, because they have utterly lost themselves in a divine self forgetfulness."
GOD GIVE US MEN.
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 cannot buy;
Men who possess opinions and a will;
Men who have honor—men who will not lie;
Men who can stand before a demagogue
And damn his treacherous flatteries without winking!
Tall men, sun crowned, who live above the fog
In public duty and in private thinking. God give us men.

How many of us realize how much we will help ourselves by boosting our competitor instead of knocking him?

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

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.

When the calves decided to get together for their own benefit first all opposition failed. Unity leads to conference, which will ultimately result into co-operation, so stick together if you have to hang together in parts. Success crowns all co-operative efforts.
The Organizers of The Capitol Petroleum Co.
ARE MAKING IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENTS OF PROGRESS THAT INTERESTS THE CONSERVATIVE INVESTOR
We have now contracted for the drilling of the first well in our 597-acre tract in Burbon County, Kansas. The Doherty holdings join us on one side, and the Tulsa Supply Company on another. There is a producing gas well just across the line, and there are forty-nine producing oil wells and two gas wells within a small radius. The pipeline of The Kansas Natural Gas Company passes near this tract, and they have agreed to connect on at their own expense and pay the highest market price for the products. The big refinery of The Eastern Kansas Refining Company is just ten miles west. In fact, there will be no trouble at all to find a market right at the source of production.
Field Manager wires: "Have drilling contractor ready to move on rig and furnish us easing. Three new wells started near these leases this week."
From a newspaper clipping which refers to this district: "The Uncle Sam Oil Company was the original operator of the Cherryvale field, drilling the first test there 14 years ago. Forty-five wells are now drilling. Two pipe lines were built to the field. The Wright Producing Company drilled forty-five wells before getting a duster. The Vale Oil Company has drilled twelve wells without missing the sand. The Women's Federal Oil Company has drilled thirteen producers in succession in the field."
Isn't Our Chance Just as Good?
We could make a long story by going into details about our other holdings, but we do not consider it necessary at this time. The above is sufficient to show that the proposition is substantial—that we mean business—that we intend to make a business of oil production—and that the stock is worth all we ask for it, and more, too.

RECORD OF MOB VIOLENCE.
Lynching Accelerates Race Migration, Says Head of Tuskegee Institute. Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of the Tuskegee (Ala.) Institute, has sent out the following, being a record of lynchings for the first six months of 1917. Dr. Moton says: "I find, according to the records kept by Monroe N. Work, head of the division of records and research of the Tuskegee institute, that in this period there have been fourteen lynchings. This is eleven less than the number, twenty-five, for the first six months of 1916 and twenty less than the number, thirty-four, for the first six months of 1915. In ten instances, through the bravery, of officers of the law and by other means, mobs were thwarted and lynchings prevented.
"Of those lynched thirteen were Negroes, and one was white. Four of those put to death, one white and three Negroes, were charged with the crime of rape. One of those put to death was a Negro woman, reported to have been of unsound mind, who in resisting arrest wounded an officer of the law.
"I gather from reading Negro newspapers and from other sources that, in spite of the notable decrease in the number of victims of mob violence for the six months, the horrors connected with the recent burning at the stake near Memphis has increased among Negroes the fear of lynchings and accelerated their migration to the north."
Everybody can be seen on Zion's Big Sunday School Picnic at Dome Book.

PROGRESS AT TUSKEGEE SUMMER SCHOOL NOTED
Hundreds of Teachers Are Diligently Applying Themselves to Study.
Tuskegee Institute, Ala.—The eighth annual session of the Tuskegee institute summer school for teachers closed the second week with an enrollment of 234. The indications are that this number will increase from week to week until the session closes on July 20.
Vice Principal Warren Logan, in the absence of Dr. Moton, principal, welcomed the teachers at the opening general assembly June 11. Devotions are held at each of the assembly meetings, and a special musical program is always presented. Together with these, the teachers sing enthusiastically the old plantation melodies.
Many of the leading educators and public men will address these meetings. Addresses have already been delivered by W. B. Riley, superintendent of schools, Macon county, Ala.; Dr. George E. Haynes, Fisk university, Nashville, Tenn., and Hon. M. L. Brittan, superintendent of education for the state of Georgia, and by members of the Tuskegee institute faculty. Mr. Riley paid a glowing tribute to the loyalty and faithfulness of the colored people. Dr. George E. Haynes' subject was "The Demand of the New Order." He said that the old order had changed and that the new order comes. It brings with it a new idea of the worth of the masses of men. He discussed the part the Negro is playing in the new order and said that the Negro needed now, most of all, in this economic and political change, organization based upon purpose and devotion.
On Monday of the second week Clement Richardson, head of the division of English, spoke on "Reading." He showed the value of a knowledge of the meaning of words and their correct pronunciation, which will lead to a correct interpretation of the meaning of the author. On Tuesday occurred the second of the story telling hours. Type fairy stories were told by teachers from the children's house. These periods are attracting a great deal of attention.
M. L. Brittain spoke on "The Making of a Citizen." He said that all children need to be taught the simple virtues—courage, obedience, honesty, politeness, courtesy. These make the good and valuable citizen. Habits are to be formed by the teachers. Form the habit of courage, obedience, courtesy. Mr. Brittain illustrated his subject with several interesting stories. He made a decided impression by his address. The Tuskegee institute summer school offers to all ambitious teachers courses covering review and advanced literary subjects, professional subjects and industrial classes in manual training, domestic science, sewing, canning, agriculture and handicrafts. Certain courses are also offered for the extension of certificates of Alabama teachers.
The teachers in attendance are attracting much valuable comment because of their earnestness and faithfulness. They begin work at 7 o'clock in the morning. The social features are not forgotten. On each Saturday evening a moving picture show is provided for the teachers. The visiting teachers will also give two entertainments. A "get acquainted" social was given at the end of the first week.
New Literary Society at Pittsburgh. The latest addition to the numerous literary and social organizations in Pittsburgh is the Morningside Literary and Debating society. The society holds its meetings at the Morningside Baptist church, in which it was organized in June.
Elks to Meet at Cleveland (O.) July 26. The annual convention of the grand lodge Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World will be held at Cleveland, O., from Aug. 26 to 30, inclusive. Armond W. Scott of Washington is the grand exalted ruler.
Judge Willett Rewards Employees.
Misses Emily Johnson and Susan Wilson, maids in the home of the late Judge Charles J. Willett at Pasadena Cal., are named as the principal beneficiaries in the judge's will. They are to receive all of the household furniture, valuable family silverware and $4,000 with which to purchase any home they may select in Pasadena. This is a case in which merit and not color is rewarded.
Physicians Scorn City of Mob Violence. The officers of the National Medical association have taken a manly stand against lynching by changing their meeting place for this year from Memphis, Tenn., to Philadelphia, the City of Brotherly Love. The meeting will be held the last week in August.
Men make circumstances; circumstances make duties, and duty is destiny.
"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 cannot buy;
Men who possess opinions and a will;
Men who have honor, and who will not lie;
Men who can stand before a demogogue
And scorn his treacherous flatteries without winking.
Tall men, sun-crowned, who live above the fog
In public duty and in private thinking!

The history of oil reads like a fair tale. It has made more millionaires in ten years than mining made in fifty, and offers an opportunity to the small investor never before equalled in the history of the world. Do you know that thousands of Colored people in Oklahoma and the South have made fortunes by investing in oil? Do you know that more fortunes will be made this year than ever before as the demand and price of oil is increasing at an incredible rate? Do you know that thousands of people will be made comfortable and happy this year by investing in oil? Will you be one of them? You can join The Capitol Petroleum Company now at two cents per share and be in on the ground floor. Address, Fred S. Burton, 1837 Arapahoe St., Denver, Colorado.
PULLING TOGETHER. EVERY LITTLE HELPS. THE BEGINNING OF DEARFIELD'S GROWTH.
Mr. Fred S. Burton, one of the principal stockholders of, and agent for the Capital Petroleum Oil Co., room 329 Foster Bldg., Denver, has signed a contract with Mr. Ernest Howard for the erection of a building in Dearfield, Colo., for the use of Mrs. E. J. Goodall, who will conduct restaurant and boarding house therein. The contract provides that the building be finished in 30 days and is to cost $1,000. The money has been placed in escrow by Mr. Burton pending the fulfillment of the contract.
Mr. Burton is a young colored man with rare knowledge of the Oil business and is making considerable money out of his various oil interests; he has inside knowledge of intrinsic value of every Oil company in the United States that has stock on the market for sale.
Mr. Burton has to nis credit many good friends whom he has made thru his square dealing in purchasing money for the purchaser.
I have visited Mr. Burton's office in the Foster Building and Mr. Cook, the Fiscal Agent of the Company, showed me every courtesy that could be extended to any one, in the way of showing and explaining maps, plats and the general assets of the company. It was surely a great treat and a pleasure to me to find Mr. Burton occupying such a fine position and associated with men of such high standing and regard for our race.
Mr. Burton intends to invest the profits derived from his Oil interests in worthy Negro enterprises. We believe him to be a race man and he should be encouraged by those seeking investments in Oil stock. Make him like others have a strong factor in our community. Let all Denver pull together and remember the Calves.
