only two years after his father had helped to blaze the way for the Negro in Kansas. There he grew up as a strong healthy, robust boy in the pure free air of Kansas, and went to public school to fit himself for a great future service to his people, as did his father before him. Graduating from all public schools of Topeka, including the High School, his character and scholarship were of such a high degree that he was elected a teacher in North Topeka Public school, where he successfully taught for seven years. After having taught School and becoming more ripened in scholarship and experience, he resigned his position and returned to his native state. Tennessee and entering Meharry college in 1901 graduated in 1905 in a class with Dr. J. P. Westbrook and Dr. T. E. McClain. He practiced in Mississippi from whence he came directly to Pueblo where he soon made friends and established a promising practice.
Two years afterwards he decided to come to Denver to a larger and more lucrative field. After coming to Denver he rapidly rose to the top round and gained an extensive practice. Quiet, painstaking, cool and deliberate Dr. DeFrantz easily won deeply into your confidence as he was an earnest, devout and consistent Christian worker and booster of every social uplift movement. He was a member of Zion Baptist Church, was president of our (Continued on page 2)

Services Impressive. Hundreds Attend Funeral.
A Tennessean by birth, a Kansan by adoption and a Coloradoan by choice, is the brief and progressive history of Dr. C. D. DeFrantz, who succumbed last Thursday morning after a brief illness. Dr. EeFrantz, was born Feb. 10, 1876 in Nashville, Tenn. His parents were highly respected and influential Negro citizens of Nashville. His father, possessed of a large amount of intelligence, sagacity, race foresightedness reinforced with courage and independence are the characteristics which at once made him one of the foremost leaders and promoters of the Great Exodus of Kansas in the year of 1876, which attracted world wide attention at the time and alarmed the South. Kansas has had more national events crowded in her history which have made her famous than any other State in the Union—principal among which was the "Kansas Exodus." To be a son of such a father is in itself an honor, but to maintain his father's reputation and achieve greatness thru his own efforts, is by no means a small task.
Dr. DeFrantz migrated from Tennessee in his mother's arms when a baby and
The fifth tour of the Williams' Concert Company will bring this wonderful organization, to Denver, Tuesday evening, August 7th. While the last two concerts were held at the great Auditorium, it was impossible to accommodate the multitudes who desired to hear them. Every box seat, parquet, dress circle and front balcony seat was sold before the program began, while hundreds were disappointed. There is every indication that the popularity of these people is still in the ascendant and the fortunate citizens will be those who get tickets in advance. It is difficult to get our friends to realise the utter demoralization of the box office on the afternoon preceding the engagement. As early as 12 o'clock long lines of eager ticket buyers have stood before the Audito-

Stick By Your Friends
BEN JONES TRIED AND TRUE BLUE. VOTE NO ON RECALL
The Denver Star, so far as it knows, is the only Denver paper advocating to defeat the recall of our tried and true friend Ben B. Jones. Next Tuesday is the date for election. Negroes if you want a square deal to continue for your child ren as it has in the past don't trade horses in the middle of the stream. Take the Stars' advice, don't put off so sacred a duty but go Tuesday and vote no. Mothers you do not know or realize what principles are at stake. Remember the Auditorium graduation in June and remember who fought for equality. A hint to the wise. Vote no on the recall.
An election for the recall of Ben B. Jones from the Board of School Directors has been called for July 31st. It is important that you should know some of the reasons why the recall of Jones is sought if you would vote intelligently at that election.
At the school election two years ago, Jones pledged the people publicity regarding school affairs and the expenditure of public school funds.
Since that time there has been too much publicity to suit some people, hence this tremendous effort to remove the cause.
Jones also opposed the domination of the public school system by the political hierarchy of any church, and stopped the expenditure of the public school funds which had for years been used to maintain sectarian schools in this city in violation of law. An effort is now being made to resume such uniawful expenditures. It can not be consumated with Jones on the Board.
Jones advocates the restoration of the Holy Bible to the public schools. This advocacy has brought down the anath amas of his enemies.
Jones opposes a system of business administration in the school under which the Superintendent has sole power to ap prove and direct all expenditures of the public school funds (about $1,750,000.00 annually) making no reports of such expenditures to the school board until after the money has been spent.
Those seeking his recall demand the continuance of this system, notwithstanding it has cost the taxpayers more than one hundred and ninety thousand dollars during the past year alone.
At the recall election July 31, 1917, the question submitted will be, "Shall Ben B. Jones be recalled? VOTE NO.
We are perfectly frank in saying that Ben B. Jones and Clarkson N. Guyer are two of the best friends the Negroes have. They stand for exact equality and justice in our public schools. The Star considers it a great loss if the Negroes allow Ben B. Jones to be recalled. WE KNOW A-ABOUT WHAT WE ARE TALKING. YOU KNOW the men who are in and you don't know the persons trying to get in.
The following signed statement of Ben B. Jones in justification of his course in office was delivered to the Secretary of the School District, on July 23, 1917, to be printed on the ballot at the recall election to be held July 31st. The statement was also submitted to the daily papers of Denver, none of which would give it publicity;
Answer of Ben B. Jones in Justification of His Course in Office
First: I declare that I have at all times endeavored to the best of my ability to promote the welfare of the school children; to establish greater efficiency in the management and greater economy in the business administration of the schools; that I have been consistently faithful to the princi-

Even from the South comes condemnation for President Wilson's attitude on the East St. Louis massacre. The paragraph given below is from a long editorial in the Florida "Times-Union," one of the leading dailies of the South: When Cleveland was President of the United States and Altgeld was Governor of Illinois, another city of the same state underlay like threats. Then, as now, the governor of the State took no steps to protect the interests of the public, and the President of the United States sent troops to Chicago against the excited protests of the governor of the State. It has been said that it was merely a pretext to assert that Federal property was endangered; it may be that President Cleveland was wrong and President Wilson is right, but can we say a risk may not be taken when life is at stake at home by a President who risks so much to defend Belgium and France acro-s the seas? Are German sympathizers to be punished, even if a proclamation of marital law be necessary, where organized labor may slay at will?
It may be claimed that a Federal investigation has been ordered. The writer feels free to say that he has absolutely no hopes of anything beneficial coming out of a Federal investigation made under the direction of the men who are now in control at Washington. The most likely result to come from such an investigation will be a finding that it is detrimental for Negroes to come North in large numbers and a recommendation that the Government take some steps to check the migration.
If such a happening as the East St. Louis massacre at such a time in the country's history as the prssent has not caused President Wilson to utter one in behalf of justice to colored Americans, nothing will do it. And the race had just as well make up its mind that the first relief it will get from the Government will be the end of President Wilson's term.
The Frederick Douglass Guards has been organized by colored men in Des Moines Iowa. Atty. Geo. H. Woodson, formerly first sergeant in the 25th U. S Intrantry, donated the use of 100 repeating rifles.

According to press reports, during a race rior at Flat River, St. Francois County, Mo., a few days ago, when white men were arrayed against for eign born men regardless of whether they were citizens or aliens: the leader of the mob carried a large American flag: and as the rioters moved about the town, making every foreigner the target of assaults, the flag was waved continuously as though it endorsed every act committed by those self styled Americans.
This is a clear case for the Department of Justice to take action. The flag has been de secrated, yes more so than when a man refuses to rise or uncover when the flag is being raised to its mast.
"Who is responsible?" Those who made up the immediate mob are not wholly to blame for the occurance at Flat River. It is the natural characteristic of a mob to go to extreme unless checked by the strong arm of the law. But the trouble with this conntry is that those having the enforcing of the law in their charge have been too lax, because most of the acts of the mob violence have been imposed upon the colored people. The foreigner and the whites have all joined in mobs to kill, butcher and assault poor innocent colored people, and the officers have stood by and winked.
As we have said in these columns before, they have been sowing the wind and of course they must reap the the whirl-wind. The acts of the mob styling themselves as "All Americans' with a spirit to drive from honest toil all foreigners sounds the alarm. It is time to wake up. It shows how grave the situation is.
The American flag is an emblem of protection and justice We wonder what those foreigners think who, under the waving of the stars and stripes were driven from their jobs and from their homes. They had the right to think that the flag was for their protection, but we suppose they have changed their minds now. They have seen the lie written upon its face by a mob.
We have been taught that the United States Government backed up the flag, and if any one insulted it, tore or desecrated it, all powers of the Government would be invoked to punish the guilty ones. But so far as we have heard, no efforts are being made to punish those responsible for heading a mob with an American flag.—Argus.

Last Sunday's services, in spite of
the heat, were attended by large
crowds of worshipers. Especially was
the morning service inspiring. The
pastor preached upon the “Duty of
Forgiveness.” It was evident that the
truth found {ts way into the hearts.
Sister Lulu Williams of the First Bap-
tict Church, Memphis, Tenn., respond-
ed to the invitation. A stereopticon
service was enjoyed by the congre-
gation in the evening. The pastor
gave a beautifully colored “Trip Thru
the Holy Lands,” showing the birth-
place, the early home and many of the
familiar scenes which witnessed the
incidents of the life of Jesus. The
lecture closed with a beautiful pic-
torial illustration of the well known
hymn, “Abide With Me.” The congre-
gation considered the service proftt
able.
Next Sunday night the lecture will
include the “Last Words of Christ”
on the cross. These tragic pictures,
beautifully colored, together with the
lecture will make a heart impression
very much worth while. The service
will close with a ten-slide illustration
of Sankey’s wonderful hymn, “The
Ninety and Nine.” During these hot
nights the community will find it prof-
itable to spend an hour with Zion
Sunday evening between eight and
nine.

on our mid-week prayer service, where

SECRET SOCIETIES AS AIDS
TO RACIAL ADVANCEMENT
Niews of William A. Aery of Hampton
Institute on Racial Welfare.
William Anthony Aery, head of the
press service at the Hampton (Va.) n-
stitute and also a teacher, is always on
the alert to make known the best
methods and plans for the physical and
Uterary improvement of the Negro and
Indian races. Mr. Aery not only keeps
in touch with the doings of the race
throughout its weekly and monthly
publications, but often attends the an-
nual meetings of our organizations, so-
cleties and educational institutions
He is a man of broad vision and liberal
views. His work as a publicist and
teacher bears the stamp of experience
and efficiency.
Mr. Aery carried the following article
in a recent issue of the Southern Work-
man, the monthly magazine published
at the institute:
“Secret societies are the channels
through which the Negro can best be
reached with information relative to
hig health and sanitation. For this rea-
‘son, if for no other, every Negro who ts
of proper age and is a good physical
risk should belong to some secret so-
cfety, and every secret, society should
have a bureau of health, with a most
capable physician in charge, to furnish
printed matter monthly or sem!-month-
ly on topics of health and sanitation
that most vitally concern mankind.
“There are many communicable and
preventable diseases to which mankind
1s heir that may be averted by putting
daily into practice certain rules and
regulations in living.
“These rules and regulations should
be persistently taught by printed cir-
culars issued to the members of the or-
der by the health bureau. The Negro,
like many individuals of other races,
has not learned the value of fresh alr
both day and night.
“There are so many ways in which
the Negro takes disease that could be
avolded, provided he was properly in-
structed and woujd follow the instruc-
tion. He is an easy prey in a multt-
plicity of ways. He will purchase for
himself and family germ laden second.
‘hand clothes, never giving a thought to
the probability of taking disease from
them. He will often eat food left by
others and will drink with joy and sat
iafaction from vessels and bottles used
by the sick or well, often taking dis
ease in this way. All of this comes
from ignorance.
“The secret societies are the organ!:
zations to serve the race with enlight
enment along this line, make better its
sanitation and increase its usefulness
ita wealth, {ts health and ita respe:
tability.”
| Come, Workers, here was a teach.
er; and the lessons he taught was
good: There are no classes or races,
but one human brotherhood. There
aire no creeds to be outlawed, no col-
ore of skin debarred; mankind Is one
in its rights and wrongs, one right,
‘one hope and one guard—John. Boyle

A man playing a flute.
(Continued from page 1) ples upon which I was elected that I have given publicity to school business, believing that that the taxpayers are entitled to this information.
Second: That in voting with a majority of the Board to remove the Superintendent, I conscientiously performed what I conceived to be my duty under the law and my oath of office, after due consideration and convincing proof of charges of mismanagement, insubordination and unauthorized extravagant expenditures of school funds; that said act was within my legal right, discretion and duty, and taken after expert legal advice.
Third: I affirm that the charges do not constitute the reason for which my recall is sought: the real reason being my continued opposition, as a matter of principle, to a system of business administration sought to be effectuated, whereby the superintendent—not under bond, not elected by or responsible to the people has sole power to approve and direct all expenditures from the school fund (approximately $1,750,000 annually) without reference to the Board, and making no report to the Board until after the people's money has been spent; which system has, in less than two years, changed a cash balance of approximately a quarter of a million dollars in favor of the school district, to an actual deficit; and my known opposition to burdening the people with a heavy bond issue.
For these reasons, I deny the truth and sufficiency of the charges.
NEW LIGHT ON WASHINGTON.
Chancellor McCormick impressed With Educator's Wonderful Intuition.
Chancellor S. B. McCormick of the University of Pittsburgh recently sent the following letter to Julius Rosenwald, the widely known Chicago business man and philanthropist, with reference to the splendid volume on the life and times of the late Dr. Booker T. Washington. Chancellor McCormick's letter:
Mr. Julius Rosenwald, Seara, Roebuck & Co., Chicago:
My Dear Mr. Rosenwald—Last night I brought the book entitled "Booker T. Washington, Builder of a Civilisation," with me from the office. After dinner I opened it, and at noon I have finished it.
This was not a task to be performed as quickly as possible, but a pleasure to be each moment increasingly enjoyed. The book holds and grips one by the compelling power of its thrilling story.
It is a story book. It does not deal in trivialities. It presents the man in the large. A biography of Booker Washington will doubtless be written. Many books about him are certain to be published. This book reveals the man in broad outlines, the man he has been to accomplish. It is absorbingly interesting, and it gives the reader not only a fresh conception of the greatness of Booker T. Washington, but of the greatness and marvelous achievement of his life.
The reader with every page increases in his wonderment whence such a man came; what it was that taught him; how he got his views; what was the source of his infinitely arled capacity; what he learned from this book that I did not know him at all. How did he get his amazing common sense? Whence came his keenness and accuracy of intuition? Who taught him the meaning of beauty, of order, of system, of relationship of little things to big? How did he learn to conceive of duties and rights as he did and never to speak of the one without emphasizing the other? What other dreamer would ever ever have done upon the earth and saw realities and put them into all his life as did Booker T. Washington?
All I can do is to thank you for the book. The reading of it has given me pleasure, as I said; but, much more, it has given me courage, hope, enduring patience and inspiration. I am, very cordially yours,
S. B. M'CORMICK.
P. S.—Will you convey to the authors my high appreciation of this volume as a piece of literary work and a triumph of fine discrimination in what to say and what to leave out?
Virginians Hold Summer Festival.
The Society of the Sons of Virginia in Brooklyn held its annual summer festival on Thursday evening, July 19, with the largest attendance in its history. That the society's influence is gripping the attention of men of Virginia birth or parentage is shown by the steady increase in its membership. It meets all of its financial obligations promptly and renders fine personal service to its members in times of their illness or otherwise when a need is to be met.
WAR OR NO WAR
Our next international boom will be in silver, which will dwarf the booms of all other metals by comparison.
Financeers, in position to know, predict that silver will soon pass $1.00 per oz.
Our Colorado properties are of immense value, consisting of 12 lode claims (approximately 100 acres), on which there are extensive underground workings. These mines are located in the heart of the celebrated Silver Plume district, which has produced many million dollars in values, mostly silver, and is now the greatest silver mining district in America, or the whole world.
The holdings of this company possess every indication of being the greatest producers in the camp.
In securing these valuable properties, this company also acquired the well-known Snowdrift ore dump, which accumulated from the early workings of the Snowdrift mine in the days before the railroads and smelters, when transportation and treatment charges alone cost $90 per ton. (See Ernest Le Neve Foster's letter). How we secured possession of this valuable ore dump is a long story of litigation and negotiations, but the main thing is: We have it, and are now in position to market it as soon as we have an aerial gravity tram in operation.
This vast dump represents valuable ore already mined. Just like merchandise on the shelf or jewels in the case.
Statement of Daniel Peters, superintendent of Snowdrift Mine, March 15th, 1880, to Gen. E. M. McCook, New York, President of the Company: "At the time I worked the mine, I never saved ore that paid anything less than $100 per ton. My orders being to throw anything on the dump pile that ran under that amount."
Although only an old dump and a side line to the main proposition, it should return two dollars for every dollar invested and probably much more.
This is a safe, sound and meritorious proposition, only needing money for equipment and further development to make it the biggest paying mining proposition in Colorado, if not in the whole country.
We have much more information, including many assays of mines and dumps and specimens of the ore. All inquiries answered promptly, or better call at our office.

EXPERIENCE AND KNOWLEDGE
DESCRIBE VALUES.
ERNEST LE NEVE FOSTER,
Denver, Colo.
June 25. 1917.
MR. A. J. CONWAY,
I have been acquainted with the mines upon Republican Mountain,
above Silver Plume, Clear Creek
County, Colorado, since January, 1872,
having operated mines there from that
time to the present, living at the foot
of it many years, as well as at Georgetown.
I thus have a personal and intimate knowledge of the output, as well as the discovery of many of the mines
The ores which have been extracted from this mountain have been of an unusually high grade in silver. Many tons exceeding one thousand ounces silver per ton have passed through my hands. It is true that rich ores have also been taken from the adjacent mountains, but there are none which have a record of as high a general average from a like area. In addition to mining I did a great deal of assaying in the early seventies, as well as purchased ores for shipment to Europe, therefore this statement is made not from hearsay but from practical experience.
In 1872 the cost of shipment of ores to England, including the treatment charge there, was about ninety dollars per ton, so that ores of less silver content than one hundred ounces per ton, could not be shipped; amalgamating and chlorination mills at Georgetown at that time treated some of the less rich ores, but I think it is safe to say nothing less than fifty ounce ore was saved, everything else being thrown into the dumps.
I make these statements with the endeavor to state correctly as far as human imperfections of memory about observations and experience of between forty and fifty years ago permit, and the natural proneness to exaggeration which time so frequently develops, in regard to happenings of the past, and believe that what I have said is fair and not overestimated.
Yours very truly,
ERNEST LE NEVE FOSTER,
Mining and Consulting Engineer.

OTHERS SAY OF THEM.
BANK OF CLEAR CREEK COUNTY.
Georgetown, Colo.
June 16, 1917.
MR A. CONWAY,
Denver, Colo.
Referring to your inquiry regarding the Silver Plume Consolidated Mining Company and its management:
Mr. Roderick Stewart, the president of the company, is a mining man of experience, ability and integrity who has spent over 30 years in active business in Colorado and enjoyed an unblemished reputation.
Mr. Willmot Gibbs, the superintendent of the mining operations, is a young man of engaging personality, a hustler, and of unquestioned honesty and ability.
Mr. C. D. Gibbs, a member of the board of directors and general manager, is a man of broad affairs, wide business experience and good, sound business standing.
Part of the properties of the Silver Plume Consolidated Mining Company, from which they have taken some very rich ore, is situated on the Republican Mountain, adjacent to the Snowdrift mine from which several millions in value were taken. As the mines on Republican Mountain have all been large producers of rich ore. The Silver Plume Consolidated Mining Company, with proper financing, should be a big success.
The Silver Plume Consolidated Mining Company's property, known as the Buxton group, comprising 10 claims
located on Brown Mountain, were discovered and first developed by Mr. Joshua Buxton, one of the oldest and best miners of this State, and were believed by him and other experienced miners to be the richest find of the Clear Creek District.
EVERY MINE A SUCCESS—WHY SHOULD NOT YOU BE LUCKY?
THE PEERLESS FILM AND PRO-
THE SILVER PLUME CON. MINING COMPANY.
Denver, Colo.
Replying to your request for the reason I invested in stock of your company, wish to say that after a very thorough investigation of your company during which time I spent nearly a week going over your properties at Silver Plume I found that all the statements you made were not only true but conservative.
I was greatly impressed with the efficient management and splendid location of your Lone Wolf claim on Republican Mountain, which I am reliably informed is one of the richest mountains in silver, lead and zinc deposits in America. The very high grade ore that comes from this district and the very important fact that there have been no mine failures of properties opened in the Silver Plume District, all had a bearing on my decision to invest all the money I possibly could in your company and advising my friends to do the same.
I consider I am doing my friends a favor when I tell them of your company as I do not see how you can fail to show earnings of over a hundred per cent. per annum on your entire capital stock.
Very truly yours,
A. J. CONWAY.

THE GEORGETOWN BOARD OF MINES AND COMMERCE.
MR. A. CONWAY,
Denver, Colo.
Replying to your request for information regarding Silver Plume District as a producer of Silver Ore, would say, this camp is known as one of the richest Silver producers in this country, and is particularly famous for the richness of its ore and extent of its ore deposits, which seem almost inexhaustible, as some of the earliest producing mines of this district are still among the largest shippers of high grade ore.
The shipments from the before-mentioned district is now averaging over $80.00 per ton, which is probably the highest average for Silver and Lead ore of any mining camp in the country, which is also one of the largest producers.
Another favorable condition of this district is the absolute lack of failure, every mine so far as my knowledge extends, having an exceptional success, a large number who started in a small way have produced millions already. The richest and largest producers being located on the Republican, Sherman and Democratic mountains.
Present developments indicate that Silver Plume will soon be the greatest lead, zinc and silver camp in the country.
I believe the Silver Plume Consolidated Mining Company's properties are ideally located and great possibilities are ahead of them.
Very truly yours,
TALLMAGE KYNER,
Pres. Board of Mines and Commerce
THE GEORGETOWN COURIER
Georgetown, Colo.
June 16, 1917
Having settled in Georgetown in 1869 and being a newspaper man all of that time, I have been in close touch with mines and general conditions of Clear Creek County, of which Georgetown is the County Seat.
The Georgetown Courier, which I established in May, 1877, contains in its records the history of all the rich mines and ore strikes of this district.
It has been my good fortune to see a great many men come into this district as poor men and leave with fortunes varying form several thousand dollars to a few millions and this wealth was all taken from the mines of this very rich district.
One important fact that I believe few people realize is the percentage of mines that pay and continue to pay over a long period of years. Some of the first mines opened in the surrounding mountains are still large producers and I do not remember of one mine that has proven a failure.
Another condition, surprising to see in so prosperous a County, is the decrease in the number of small operators and investors to get the benefit of the wealth from the before-mentioned mines and the profits going to large corporations who take advantage of this proven territory to collect the sure profits from these mines.
Sure and large profits await the newcomers and investors in Clear Creek County mines where efficient management and honesty prevail.
The history of the Public Domain gives Georgetown as being the oldest entered town in Colorado, the entry being made June 17, 1858.
June 15, 1917.
THE SILVER PLUME CONSOLI-
DATED MINING CO.,
Denver, Colo.
I was born and raised in Silver
Plume and having worked in the
mines of this district for over 14
years. I am thoroughly familiar with
the history and workings of all the
mines of the Silver Plume district.
The famous bonanza silver mines of this district that have produced so many fortunes for investors and owners have all been worked for a great many years through tunnels that cut the mountains for a great many miles in every direction and yet there is no indication that any of these mines have been worked out and some of the oldest mines are producing more ore now than when first discovered.
The above statement seems more remarkable when the fact that no mine of this district has ever proven a failure is given consideration.
The group of ten claims of the Silver Plume Consolidated Mining Company on Brown Mountain give more evidence in the outcroppings and the quality and character of the ore taken from your upper tunnel, now about 100 feet in length, of being a bonanza strike of unusual size and value, than in every rich mine in this district.
The fact that ore worth over $1,000 per ton has been taken from your Buster tunnel, still so near the surface, is evidence to any experienced miner that practically unlimited wealth awaits only the proper machinery and equipment to extract it from the ground. I m willing to stake my all on the success of your properties and believe that your Lone Wolf mine is also a big winner.
Yours truly. JAS. M. BUXTON.

‘The Colored American and the Den-
ver Star have begun to decorate their
places of business in honor of the
American Woodmen’s National Con-
vention. We are now calling upon
every business man of color, especial-
ly in the Five Point District, to show
some enthusiasm and good spirit of
welcome tp these incoming delegates,
our guests. Fling out your banners
high and wide. Let welcome float up-
on the breezes. Every home in Den-
ver should have out an American
flag. Citizens of Denver, get busy and
let us impress upon the Caucasian
that we are just as patriotic, loyal
and enthusiastic over our own as they
are over theirs. Shall Denver fail
to honor an institution that has hon-
ored her? Let your answer be shown
in decorations. Let everybody boost.
‘The Denver Star will give 1,000 let-
ter heads and 1,000 envelopes to the
business man whose decoration is the
best, most appropriate and complete.
‘We desire to call attention to the
law-abiding citizens of the country,
black and white, that Pres. Woodrow
‘Wilson has not said one word about
the East St. Louis Southern Pastime.
Does silence in this case give its ap-
proval? You know why!
‘Wherever and whenever these riots
and racial disturbances happen, the
article always concludes with the
cause “as being the importation of
the Negroes from the South.” That
is to say, that the Negro in America
cannot work where he pleases and
if he does, the newspaper will try to
arouse public sentiment against him.
Union labor is trying hard to get the
Wilson administration to put into ef-
fect some measure which will prevent
Negroes coming North and following
their trades.

How refreshing, encouraging and
inspiring it 1s for one to read from
the pen of Dr. C. D. Spivak his strong
editorial on the East St. Louis mas-
pacre in the only Jewish community
newspaper in the state and the only
Jewish newspaper in the Rocky
Mountain States. The Star, in be-
half of our Denver citizens and race
in general, heartily thanks Dr. Spivak
for his timely words so fall of pene-
tration and significance It shows
that the Jew and Negro can and must
sooner or later stand upon the com-
mon and fundamental rock of Jus-
tice, equality and love for the human
brotherhood. Some of our interests
are common and a get-together con-
ference would not be inopportune.
‘The N: A. A. C. P.’ seems asleep to
some of its opportunities for the bet-
terment of racial understandings and
mutualities. We are proud of Dr.
Spivak’s fearlessness. “His editorial
is part of our E. St. Louis writeup.
This world is large enough and this
country is broad and big enough for
white and Negroes to work together
in perfect peace and harmony. Each
can work an honest day for an hon:
est pay, without the other killing or
destroying the other's lives or prop-
erty.

Nature in her all-wise providence

The Salt Creek Petroleum reports
good progress on the drilling of its No.
2 well in the southeast quarter of sec-
tion 29 of the Salt Creek field. This
well had reached a depth of 1,100 feet
on Wednesday, July lith, and Otto
Stock, the cbatractor in charge of the
drilling, expects to reach the oll-bear
ing stratum by the end of the present
month. He is confident of getting a
good flow of oil, as a number of other
wells on the same and adjoining sec
tions got good producers in the first
sand. If a satisfactory production is
not obtained at this depth, the well
will be continued to the lower Wall
Creek sand. R
‘The officers of the Five Fields Oil
company report good progress in the
financing of the company ‘and are
making arrangements to start drilling
their first well within the next thirty
days. , This company has nearly 1,000
acres in the proven Wyoming oil fields
close to producing wells and active
drilling operations. The geologist’s re-
ports on the large acreage this com-
pany has in eastern Colorado are fa-
vorable, and it is the intention of the
company to drill more than one well
this season near Seibert and Limon.
__ After considerable delay in the de-
livery of casing the Douglas-Wyoming
Oil company now reports that prog-
ress in drilling is again being made.
The well is close to 1,400 feet in
depth and the strong showing of oil
and the strong showing of ofl and gas
continues. The men in charge of the
drilling are confident of an early
strike of oil.
Activity in the Douglas field is in-
creasing and reports state that a new
combination standard and rotary drill-
ing rig will be put on a lease adjoining
the property of The Douglas Wyoming
Oil company as quickly as possible.

COLORED AMERICAN LOAN AND REALTY CO. URGES THE PUBLIC TO BUY FIVE FIELDS OIL CO. STOCK AT 5c.—NOW TAKE THE TIP,
You cannot make big money by working with your hands or feet. Your brains must make the money while you sleep. For that reason, The Denver Star and the Colored American Loan and Realty Co. are urging all of its friends to "get into buying good stocks" when they are cheap and then sell when they advance, either doubling or trebling your money. The Douglas-Wyoming stocks are now 50c to the public. The Salt Creek Petroleum is now $1.09, while the same officers of the Big Five Fields now offer you stock of land adjoining the Douglas-Wyoming for 5c a share. We urge every Negro to get in on this as a good investment; take from $5 to $100 worth of stock and then when it goes up to -0.15 or 25c, if you want, then sell, doubling your money. If you bought $5 worth of stock at 5c and it only increased to 10c in a year, you would make 100 per cent, getting more than the 4 per cent a year on $100 in saving account. While the Wyoming oil fields are young get your holdings now, sacrifice, and deny, do you expect to work all your life? Some of you have seen Cripple Creek gold mining camps, start, flourish and make themselves wealthy and you are still working, getting $25 per month yet. Let us get busy, and buy as safe as we can and have some of the finished fat grain when the harvest comes in. See Mr. Waller now. Arrange to buy stock. You are going to spend the money anyway, so why not put it where it can do the most good? Buy Five Fields Oil stock at 5c.

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.

Labor Unions Should Give Square Deal.
The great exodus of colored people from the south and the shortage of laborers on account of many former workers going to the front in the present crisis of the nation brings organized labor face to face with a serious problem. The colored man who is qualified should have a chance to work, labor unions to the contrary notwithstanding. Let labor union tote square.

Mr. E. V. Cammel, Grand Master of the U. B. F. and S. M. T. of the Colorado Jurisdiction, just closed the most successful meeting of the Grand Lodge ever witnessed since the organization of the Grand Lodge. Mr. Cammel is Denver's most popular Understake, and has served the Order of U. B. F. and S. M. T. for more than ten years, having been Grand Secretary from the organization of the G. L. until July 20th, 1913, when he was honored with the office of Grand Master, which he has served with credit for the past four years and was reelected at the close of the tenth annual session at Albuquerque, N. M., Friday, July 20th, 1917, by acclamation. The reports which appear elsewhere in this issue show the work of a constructive leader with efficient officers.
Grand Master Cammel is now taking a three weeks' vacation from the duties of the office and referring all matters of importance to the newly elected Deputy Grand Master, Mr. A. L. Wright, at 1140 Lincoln St., City.

DISCUSSION ON RACE MIGRATION
Denial of Political and Civil Rights, Lynching and Other Forms of Barbarity Given as Cause of the Great Exodus—South Losing Millions, Says Dr. A. Clayton Powell.
In the discussion of any great question affecting the interest of more than one race or individual it is always well to hear the point of view of each. The speakers at the great public meeting held early in July at the Abyssinian Baptist church, New York, the Rev. Dr. A. Clayton Powell pastor, gave the colored man's view of the causes of race migration from the south. The New York Times gives the following account of the meeting:
A mass meeting of New York Negroes to discuss the problems created by the wholesale Negro migration from the south in the last year was held in the Abyssinian Baptist church, 240 West Fortleth street. It showed plainly that the northern Negroes are watching the exodus of their people with deep interest and approval and that they believe the reason for it is not higher wages in the north, but treatment in the south to which they object. The church was packed to the doors, and the speakers were freely applauded.
Several of the speakers alluded to the extent of Negro migration from the south in the last year. Mr. Powell estimated that 350,000 Negroes had left Georgia, Alabama, Florida and other southern states within ten months, and he placed the economic loss to that region, due to their departure, at $200,-000,000. In Ocala, Fla., he said, the Rev. A. L. James, a Negro clergyman, found his flock so depleted that he gave up his parish and came to New York. Arriving in Harlem, within two days he found twelve families from his flock and was busy re-establishing his church here.
"This migration," said the Rev. Clayton Powell, pastor of the church, "differences from all others in that it has no visible leader. To say that the Negro is coming north for higher wages is grossly to misinterpret the spirit of the exodus. The Negroes are leaving the south because life to them has been made miserable and unbearable.
"They are tired of being kept out of public parks and libraries, of being deprived of equal educational opportunities for their children, for which they are taxed; of reading signs, 'Negroes and Dogs Not Admitted.' The men are tired of disfranchisement, the women are tired of the insults of white hoodlums, and the whole race is sick of seeing mobs mutilate and burn uninvited Negro men. These migrating thousands are not seeking money, but manhood rights. All the people coming here are not poor. If the 350-000 Negroes have recently left the south were offered $5 a day and free transportation back not 10 per cent would return in a whole year. If they were assured that these horrible injustices would be removed, especially the hellish institution of lynching, 80 per cent of them would return almost as quickly as they came away."
Fred Moore, editor of the New York Age, the Negroes' organ, pointed out that in New York you could see white and Negro children going home from school side by side under the protection of the same policeman. "There is no race friction in the north," he said. "Who is responsible for race friction in the south? How can white people in the south expect the black people to respect them when they are always drawing the color line? Can the white south expect the black south to stay there forever under these conditions?
"We have been patriotic; we have been faithful. We wanted to fight for our country, but the man in the White House drew the color line on us. The south is in the saddle in Washington, but unless the New York Times and the other northern papers that have spoken for us cry out now to the south and tell them where they are heading it will be too late for them to save themselves.
"We have been patient. We have never taught our children to hate the white man, but right now the southern white child is taught in his own home to hate not only the Negro, but the northern white man who wants to give the Negro the square deal. The only people who can stop this emigration are the white people of the south, and they can only stop it in one way—by putting an end to lynching and injustice to our race."

PETITION TO THE President and Congress FOR THE
Independence of Ireland
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 of peoples held in subjection, whether they be under the jurisdiction of Germany, like Belgium, or of England, like Ireland. As America cannot be a party to such unpopular world war, which holds 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 nation by insisting that England grant Ireland complete national independence. We earnestly the say, like Cuba, Ireland will be made free by the action of America.

HAMPTON SUMMER SCHOOL.
the 1917 session of the summer school at the Hampton (Va.) institute is one of the best in attendance and general interest for several years. It is safe to say that no other school of similar aim and purpose is doing more for the proper equipment of teachers for their work than Hampton institute. Among those of our race on the faculty for this session are: Charles S. Isham, general science; R. Nathaniel Dett, vocal music, and Charles H. Williams, physical training, all of Hampton institute; I. P. Councill, Capron, Va., white oak basketry; George E. Haynes, Fisk university, Nashville. Tenn., clivies and community work.
Important Coming Event For Women.
The convention of the Madam C. J. Walker company representatives, to be held in Philadelphia Thursday and Friday, Aug. 30-31, will be a notable event. The women of our race are at home in conducting their clubs or religious meeting, but to buckle down to real business matters in convention is almost a novelty. From present indications the Walker convention will make history for the business women of the race.

Fortunes Waiting
"There is now a greater consumption of oil than is being produced. Unless new producing fields are developed to increase the supply this year, we will face a shortage of over 50 million barrels."—Francis S. Peabody to the Senate Committee, June 15, 1917.
Every individual may "Do His Bit" by assisting in producing more oil, and at the same time perhaps make his fortune. That means you!
There is a chance for everyone to share in this prosperity who will take it when it is offered to him. The most conservative Bankers and Business Men are awakening to the unique strength of the oil industry and the extraordinary prospects for large profits, and are investing whatever they can spare, be it much or little.
Part Played by the Rev. Mdodona of Wilmington, N. C. NATIVE OF SOUTH AFRICA
Splendid Achievements of Zealous Young Minister and Educator, Who Has Worked His Way Up From Obscurity to Prominence in Racial Life in the United States.
By GEORGE F. KING.
Wilmington, N. C.—In 1904 a young man, a member of the famous Kaffr tribe and a native of Iduytwa, Franske, South Africa, after finishing from the native schools taught by missionaries pleaded with his father to let him come to America ostensibly to read law. After he had reached Cape Town some one stole part of his money, but he ultimately succeeded in paying for his passage to this country. Possessing the remarkable characteristics of his tribe and having received a splendid education, he made good use of his opportunities for advancement in his new found home.
As soon as he reached the United States the Rev. D. B. Mdodona, A. B., B. D., eagerly began his search for more knowledge. He entered State university, Louisville, Ky., and subsequently graduated from Shaw university at Raleigh, N. C., with honors. Believing that he was called to the gospel ministry, he prepared himself for the ministry. He didn't try to abridge the essential college preparation for the most excellent service that he is now rendering. He felt that he
A.
D. B. MDDONA, A. B., B. D.
had much to accomplish in this country for the uplift of his race and the promotion of the cause of Christianity. and he is evidencing this fact by splendid achievements.
The Rev. Mddona founded and organized the First Baptist church at Lumber Bridge, N. C., and was the pastor at the Baptist church at Maxton, N. C., where he did much constructive work. At this latter church, which could not pay his railroad fare back and forth from home, he finally succeeded in making the church self sustaining and left it with 700 members. As pastor of St. Luke's church, Hasty N. C., he added 300 members in five years. While a student at Shaw university he pastored at a number of churches highly acceptably.
For several years he has been pastor of the Central Baptist church, this city. For a long period this church has been encumbered with a mortgage against it, but during his present administration he has wiped out the mortgage against the church. Besides the church has a splendid parsonage. He has recovered the roof of the church with tin at a cost of $500. This is one of the leading churches of the denomination in this state, and his native executive ability has put every department of the church in an excellent state of efficiency. Because of his training and ennabling character the Rev. Mr. Mdodona is effectively reaching all classes of our people. He does not appeal to the emotions of his congregation. All of his sermons are well prepared, and he has gained the reputation of being one of the leading young theologians, scholars and pulpteers of his denomination. He is a practical preacher.
As an educator the Rev. Mdodona is making himself a potent factor in the proper development of the youth of the race. For four years he was principal of Hodges Industrial and Normal school at Clarkton, N. C. At this place he wrought well for the race and the community. He is now principal of Faison Normal and Industrial institute, which position he has held for two years with unprecedented success in the annals of the school and is making this educational movement a leaven for good in eastern North Carolina.
This young leader is endowed with the qualities that make for the kind of racial progress desired by the better element of the Afro-American folk. In economic movements he believes that the young people must be given equal opportunities for development. His wife, who is a graduate of St. Augustine's school of Lehigh, N. C., is a great asset to him in his work and especially school, church and civic activities. The Rev. Mdodena has inspiringly proved that he is a citizen of the world, and he is highly esteemed because of his broad conception of the "fatherhood of God and brotherhood of man."

THE STORY OF PETROLEUM.
The history of oil reads like a fairy 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.
