The Denver Star ESTABLISHED 1888 Number 22 Dearfield, Colorado's Negro Colony Sets High Mark What Western Negroes Can Do Come up from Southland and out from East and Help us As I have just returned from Dearfield in the line of my profession and having made a general inspection of the conditions existing there I thought it but fare to you as well as to the settlers to write you this letter of congratulation upon your long-sightedness in first attempting to establish both the Town of Dearfield and the colony. I will first make mention of the fact that I am positive that the settlement is without doubt the greatest thing in the State of Colorado at this time for our people and holds out a still greater future as the development increases I was called to Dearfield Saturday morning to take care of the remains of Mr. J. W. Price one of the settlers formerly from Denver, arriving at the U. P. Station I was met by an employee of Mr. Joseph Houston who operates the general Merchandise Store in the settlement and was driven to the Price home where I prepared the remains for burial, the next thing that was indelibly stamped upon my memory was that I had the pleasure of having Dr. W. A. Jones a Negro physician to fill out the death certificate and he being the Deputy register of the State Board of Health for Weld County, I filed the certificate as is provided by law and he issued a burial permit, this was the first time in my life that I have been permitted to secure such legal documents from the hands of one of my race and is the only place in the State where it is possible, to do so. Mr Price's funeral was held from his late home Sunday and I had the pleasure of meeting representatives from more than forty of the families in the settlement and all informed me that they were doing fine and I was assured the fact that they were all prosperous when on Sunday evening as the guest of Dr. Jones we were invited to the home Mr. and Mrs Lee Ford who served us in company with 12 others to one of the biggest and best turkey dinners I have ever had the pleasure of enjoying, I was informed that this bird weighed 24 pounds which was also a Dearfield product. There was nothing left off in the line of turkey dinner, not even service as the two daughters served the guests in the very latest up to Now style, and did our best to devour it all but failed and all returned to their various ★ TWENTY-NINTH YEAR December 11, 1917, the citizens' residing southwest of Blue Island held an ection and voted to incorporate as the Village of Robbins. The proposition was handled by the 3rd District of Bremen Political Organization who through their president, Mr. Richard Flowers, appointed Thomas J. Kellar to engineer the movement. Mr. Kellar assumed his task on Sept. 15th and waged a relentless battle against the oppositionist which finally culminated in victory. As a result of his efforts and the support given him by the organization, Cook County now has the first and only village which will be controlled entirely by Negroes. At the first election to be held for Village Officials, January 15, 1918, the following slate will be submitted for the consideration of the voters and it bids fair to be elected: For president: Thomas J. Kellar; for clerk, Wm. Harvey; for trustees, (6 to be elected), Ricard Flowers, LeRoy P. Thomas, R. H Bryant, Jery Taylor, Edw. Brown, Geo. Winburn; police magistrate, George J. Moore. In another column of this issue, we take note of a Negro village with its full corps of Negro officers nominated for election. Somehow, it seems to be a hard task to realize the fact in the state of Illinois Just how a number of Colored citizens, sufficiently large enough to avail themselves of an opportunity to manipulate the whole machinery of the village government, is an interesting fact to know. Mr. Thomas J. Kellar, the public spirited leader of the new town, "Robbins," is to be warmly congratulated. It is easy to surmise just how Negroes can form a village in an undesirable place where other races would not live, but to incorporate a village adjacent to the thriving little town of Blue Island and within almost a stone'a throw of Chicago, is work that requires real intelligence. Chiefly among the things that stand for higher cultural life are the resolves made by the citizens of Robbins to keep out loafers, tippling shops and large factory districts. Mr. Kellar and his co-workers are to be given great cred it for their efforts. Englewcod, N. J.-Dr. W. F. Willoughby, a practising physician in this town and also in New York, has been elected Coroner at this, Bergen County. He is at present one of the County Commissioners. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JAN. 12, 1918 WIN CIVIL RIGHTS CASE Chicago Judge states object of wars fought is to give Colored Americans Equal rights. Buffalo, N. Y.,—City Judge Joseph A. McConnell made the fact blain in court here that the theaters of this city must give equal rights to all citizens, regardless of color. His warning came as result of the case of Christopher Crutcher, known to boxing fans as Jack Gilbert, and Joseph Ford against James Papanakos, local theatre proprietor for refusing to accommodate them when they had purchased tickets for the main floor. Papanakos contended that his license to operate the Olympic theatre was not issued by the State, and that he had not issued by the state, and that he had the right to discriminate. His authority for this did not meet with Judge Mc Connell's approval and he was found guilty. In announcing his decision Judge McConnel stated that the great civil war was fought to give the Colored man equal rights and it was out of that struggle that the present statues grew, and that it was the duty of the court to see them observed. homes well filled and declared they had sufficient, but hoped to have the opportunity of try it over, so Mr. Holly extended the invitation to try it over on New Years night but to my sorrow I was compelled to return home and fear the settles will not be able to complete the job without my assist ance. Every one of the settles as sured me that they had sufficient food produce raised this year and in store to carry them over until next fall and most of them have more than enough meat, as they have hogs and calves for market or to butcher for home use. One of the gentlemen told me he had raised over 3 tons of beans which at the present retail price would net him $1480 for his year's work and this was only one as they all have prospered likewise in proportion to the amount of crop they planted. Well friend Jackson the present high cost of paper is too great for me to attempt to outline my whole trip and to explain myself as the future of Dearfield and its vacancy. Yue only thing I must say in conclusion is that it certainly was great to me to have the pleasure of getting mail at a Negro Post Office and transacting any and all my affairs with my own people. Let the good work go on. Loyalty and Saving Count Durham, N. C.—The Bulletin of the National Training School in this city Dr. James E. Shepard, president, in speaking of the success of the school farm the past year says on the limited acreage for truck farming there was produced enough vegetables to put up 3,000 jars of canned goods, two barrels of kraut and nearly one hundred bushels of potatoes were raised. The institution sold fresh vegetables daily to the people of the community at greatly reduced prices. President W.G. Bramham of the Durham Chamber of Commerce says that this school is in every way entitled to the consideration and support of those who have at heart the future of the Negro race. Personally and officially says Mr. Bramham, I do not hesitate to commend the National Training School to those who believe in education. It deserves the moral support of the white race and should receive it spontaneously. Savannah, Ga.—Good results are accruing from the recent food conservation meeting held at the Georgia State Industrial School. Farmers from nearly all sections of the big part which the Government expects them to play in helping America win the war. The production of crops of all kinds, the conservation food and fuel and the raising of more cattle and hogs were among the subjects stressed by the speakers. At this meeting, President R. R. Wright assured these stalwart tillers of the soil that not only were such organizations as the Tuskegee Farmers Conference which meets at the Tuskegee Institute, January 16 and 17, and the National Civic Improvement Association of Richmond, Va. are ready to back their efforts for more intensive farming, but that the National Government was deeply interested in their welfare. This was shown by a message read from President Wilson in which he urged them to do all they could to assist the nation in the present crisis. The National Civic Improvement Association is pledged to the task of showing white people the evil of in justice to the colored people as inflicted by unjust legislation, segretion ordinances jimcrow car laws and refusing them a chance to get good paying positions which they are capable of filling. This organization also reminds the AMERICA'S LYNCHING RECORD FOR 1917 Compiled at Tuskegee, Ala. Tuskegee, Ala., Jan. 2, 1918 From the records kept by the division of records and research of Tuskegee institute, Monroe N. Work, in charge, there were 38 persons lynched in 1917, of whom 36 were Colored and two were whites. Thirty-seven were males and one female.

New York—The "On to Albany" banquet given in honor of Assemblyman-elect Edward A. Johnson of the nineteen Assembly District on Wednesday evening of last week was a history making event in the political life of the colored citizens of this city. The function was given under the auspices of the United Civic League of which the well known John M Royall is president and who also presided at the banquet. About 200 guests were present and good music, speech making and good fellowship were the order of the evening. FIVE CENTS A COPY. President National Association of Colored Women Collecting Data for Committee on Public Information. The national president Mary B. Talbert, of the Association of Colored Women has been asked by the Committee on Public Information, in connection with the War Department, to gather all material relative to the work done by Colored women in this great war. Now is the time for every club, church, society, and Cross band food conservation class or whatnot to send to the national president every piece of literature which they have sent out, so that these may be compiled, showing what has been done. It will make good American reading to know that the Colored people subscribed $1,000,000 to the Liberty loan, $100,000 to Red Cross work, etc. Mrs. Talbert has also been asked to send pictures and biographies of Colored women prominent in the war work. Will every one help in the collection of this material by sending to Mrs. Talbert the personnel of her organization and the material which has gone out from its publicity department, also any features of the work which are of interest as well as pictures, with biographies of the women prominent in war work. Since this work is under the direct supervision of the government, every Colored woman should regard this as a patriotic duty to help thus in the assembling of material which is making history today This will show forever the Colored woman's part in this great work, which will eventually and automatically write the part they have played in the history of American women in war. Send in this information to day. We are prune to delay, but now is the time for all Colored women to send in this information. Mrs Mary B. Talbert, President, N. A. C.

A STORY OF PROGRESS At the annual meeting of Zion Church last week reports were presented showing that the year just past was one of the most prosperous and successful in the history of the organization. The congregation and pastor both have great reason to rejoice and be encouraged in that during a season when there are so many tangible causes for financial difficulties the church should make a record which reached the high-water mark for any similar period. The report of the church clerk showed that during the year two hundred and two persons presented themselves to Zion for membership, and of this number one hundred and six came for baptism, eighty-six by Christian experience and ten by letter. The gross financial receipts reported from the three treasuries indicated that the high cost of living had little effect on Zion's generosity. The Current Fund receipts were $4,271.86; the Benevolent Fund $1,271.77; the Building Fund $1,156.25; making a total of $6,699.82. These figures show that the average receipts to have been $558.32. Perhaps the most remarkable fact revealed by the reports is that in the closing month of the year when holiday expense is greatest, and when the cost of fuel and winter clothing must be met, the offerings reached the highest monthly total of $756.81. It is quite natural that the congregation should rejoice in this wonderful showing which is nothing less than a plain indication of the favor of God, who has promised that, "He that soweth bountifully shall also bountifully reap." This has been the key-note of Zion's success both spiritually and materially, as fully 20 per cent of all her offerings have been given for benovelence, including Home, Foreign and City Mission work. For these activities, which show the real generosity of Zion's congregation, when we add $201.65, raised by the Women's Missionary Society, we have a total of $1,473.36. In closing it is worthy of mention that the gift of scores of baskets of food and offerings of clothing will greatly augment this princely generosity. "Thanks be to God or His unspeakable gift."

Negroes, you know the necessity of team-work in time of war. Never has, in the history of the United States, organization been so absolutely imperative and recent events in the industrial, mining and commercial world have shown the driving power of effective organization, intelligently directed than at the present time.

Get yourselves ready for the effectiveness of an organization depends absolutely upon the co-operation it receives from the individual.

The time required to fatten chickens and other poultry for prime market finish depends largely upon what kinds of feeds are given and the range of the birds during the fattening period. If the birds are allowed to run at large and range freely the fattening period is much longer, and in some cases with wide range the birds will never become in prime market condition, no matter how liberally fed. The reason for this is that the birds in walking and roaming over wide areas take too much exercise, and feed that under other conditions would go to form flesh and fat goes to furnish muscular energy, which is lost so far as fattening is concerned. In the case of turkeys, which are semiwild birds, a limited range for the birds is necessary, especially in early and late fall, when insects, wild seeds, green clover and grasses are still to be secured. Turkeys will grow and take on flesh as long as these wild feeds on the open range can be secured freely. However, as cold weather comes on it is best to supply turkeys with corn and other feeds they will eat close to the barn and poultry quarters, so that they will roam as little as possible as the marketing period approaches. They will not bear confinement and forced feeding like other kinds of poultry. In very close confinement they will worry off more flesh and fat than they will put on, as a rule. With chickens, ducks and geese it is economical to confine them closely and feed heavily a few days before marketing. The confined birds should have all they will possibly eat of mixed grain, or ground grains and water. The best method is to feed a mixture of ground grains and skim milk. Birds fattened this way in close confinement are known as "milk-fed" poultry, and such when in prime condition command the highest market prices. The time required for fattening is from one week to ten days, after which time the birds will not gain in weight and should be sold immediately. Free Thermometer to each Customer.

Membership 100,000 Mrs. G. N. Russ. State President of Colored Women's Clubs. My dear Co-Worker: NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF COLORED WOMEN I have good news for you. God is answering our prayers. I appeared before the Rules Committee of the House of Representatives, Friday, August 3rd, and that night Congressman Dyer phoned me that the Committee was wonderfully impressed and had decided to recommend that the Resolution, begging Federal Investigation be taken up by Congress. Now, we must win. God will help us if we help ourselves. Keep at it! WORK! PETITIONS! PETITIONS! PETITIONS are the things that will prove that there is countrywide sentiment and determination back of this demanding that an end be put to mob violence. Now, I will not rest until every Congressman is appealed to to take a stand for justice and protection. Will you get men to sign these Petititions in ink, and you divide the number and send them directly to the members of Congress from your State? Send them to men in the House and in the Senate. See that the work is neatly done so as to reflect the intelligence that there is back of this movement. Tell our people to take pride and pleasure in this. Get influential white friends to sign some of them. Give them the literature and urge them to see their patriotic duty in saving America from mob violence. Get signatures. Every Petition counts. Fill out the enclosed memorandum and send it at once, to me. This memorandum goes to Congressman Dyer. He wants to keep close tab on what is being done by the Colored people themselves. Send each Congressman one of the enclosed tags. Write a very short letter, telling him you know he is going to bear the voice of his fellow countryman, pleading for justice and protection. Make is bristle with patriotism, but make him feel that this country is facing a problem at home that is no less serious than the problem abroad. Work with us in this. Pray with us and we will win. Yours for a True Democracy. N. H. BURROUGHS MOB VIOLENCE BY LAW." National Association of Colored Women: Our Denver N. A. A. C.

Victor Walker, Prop. GRACE VS. FAILURES Often Times It Is the Great Revealer of God's Mercy, Love and Power to Deliver. The disciples learned through their falls, but they never learned anything which would not have been better learned through their faith. It is enough to say that God will teach us through our stumblings when that is the only text-book left to teach us out of. We need not go into any raptures about failure. When he had denied his Lord and then suddenly saw him in all his truth and beauty, Peter knew well enough that he might have seen his Lord more clearly without a fall. But be that as it may, the fall was there, and the wonder of it was that his master was still willing to reveal himself through what was left. Almost any master could take the defects and mistakes of his disciples and point out what they had lost, but who else would take the meanest and most contemptible passages in one's existence and make even them a lens through which they could see the divine if they would? There are more normal ways of revelation, points out the Sunday School Times, but when this is the only way we have left to God, then he takes our falls and reveals himself through them. Without ever once saying that the fall was upward, or that the sin was goodness in the making, the Bible takes what men give and shows how wonderfully God will commence the miracle of repair. It may be that we do not learn as we might because we are too proud to learn through the only means we have left for God to employ in teaching us. A great fall may still be a great revealer. When we have had one we may look upward because there is nowhere else to look. At last we look into the hills whence cometh our help. One of the marks of a Christian believer is that to him a fall is something different from what it is to another man. To the non-Christian a fall may seem nothing but a finish. To the Christian it must in some way seem more terrible than to anybody else. But though he is cast down, he is not destroyed. Every Christian is brought very low at times. To anyone else it would be the end; but he is taught to expect something more. Joseph Parker, who so constantly exhibited the exuberance of the Gospel, said: "I have known as nearly as any man what it was to be forsaken. I have reached out and found no help, that is, no lateral help. The only direction from which help could come to me was vertical." These exhaustions ought never to have been, but they are here, and they may be made the ground of revelations. When we cannot pray to God out of our nearness to him, then we can pray out of our distance. George MacDonald said that sometimes he felt he had no other claim upon God except that he was so miserable; and he made that claim. One man lets his weakness overwhelm him. His religion ends there. But another takes his stand upon his weakness, it is all he has, and he uses that as an approach to God; and the willingness to do that has been a great reveler to men. Pride may ruin us, it may keep us waiting until we have some better basis on which to speak to God—and we never find that basis. Who would not wish that he might look into God's face from a life that was all clear? But we cannot. The Pharisee tried it in the temple and failed. The publican knew that if he was to see God at all he must see him from the standpoint of sin and shame; throwing away his pride, waiting for nothing, saying "God be merciful to me a sinner," he saw God. There is not a sinner in the world who may not add to the glories of revelation. "God fulfills himself in many ways." We could wish that the truth might come to us steadily, through eyes that are always bright and glad. But the truth comes to many of us through tears. It may come that way. Let us not despise our disappointments. So far our sins and falls may have only revealed to us ourselves. They may have only intensified our self-knowledge. This is something; but if it is all, it may end in death. But when one realizes that just this experience is what Christ has been looking for, and that, made over to him, he may make it a means of revelation, then our greatest days may be drawing nigh. You are having some terrible disappointment or sorrow or failure. Do not let it be that and nothing more. Do not be proud about it. Do not say you will not see God unless he comes in the grand way. If this is all you have by way of present experience, then it will suit God better than anything else you can offer. Christ always took men just where they were. He never asked that the situation should be altered. He said nothing about "hard cases." There was no depth to which one had fallen which might not become a ground from which to rise again. Just there the soul may find, if it is humble enough, the help which just matches his need. When Thoreau fell and sprained his ankle in the woods, as he lay on the ground looking about he saw for the first time in many months the herb arnica mollis, good for sprains, and felt it was a parable of much else in the spiritual world. So when our first shame and discouragements are over, we are to ask, "What may this yet mean to me?" It may be the beginning of greater revelation than we have yet received.

PETITION TO PETITION President a 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 has bound to apply this principle impartially in all cases of peoples held in subjection. Jurisdiction of Germany, like Belgium, or of England, like Ireland 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 that 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. NAME ADDRESS Every lover of Democracy, irrespective of sex, race and religion, is asked to sign this Petition.

A pitiful appeal from a legless old man who had the sad misfortune to have his legs amputated. He is a cook and has been in the County Hospital for more than two years. If he can only secure a pair of artificial legs he can make his own living. The original price on a pair of artificial legs was $200. The manufacturers, The Galanes-Erb Co., 48 Good Block, cut the price to $150. Through the efforts of Rev. R. L. Pope and others, he has been able to pay on the legs $75. His name is Alonza Parham, 64 years of age. He and I worked in the Palmer House in Chicago at the same time 42 years ago. Now he applies to me to help him to walk. I appeal to you. Will you help him?

Chapel, Dec. 24th, truly delighted the hearts of the little Sunday School folks. Nothing but words of commemoration is heard on every hand for the committees, who spared neither time nor money to remind all of the Yule tide Season. The King's Birthday Celebration received special emphasis, at an early 5 o'clock a m. Xmas service held with the faithful few at St. Paul's Baptist church, while a larger and more enthusiastic congregation met the Rev. S. M. Maguinez, at the 11 o'clock hour, for a spirit filled message, with the Grace A. M. E. people. All of those whose privilege it was to be in either of these services, will ever remember, that the Lord is in His Holy Temple, let all the earth keep silence before Him. The annual business meeting of St. Paul's Baptist church held on Dec. 31, 1917, gave their congregation a splendid opportunity to listen to a number of reports from the various departmental treasuries which reports will be given in full to the public press, on Feb. 1st, including the pastor's annual address on the growth and development of the world in the Southern field. The Rev. Maguinez is expected to leave for Denver, Colo., in a few days to conduct a series of meetings for Dr. A. M. Ward, pastor of Campbell Chapel. Let us pray God that his joining forces with the fighting host of Campbell, will result in the breaking down of a mighty strong hold on the enemy of the Cross of Jesus Christ. Plans are already under way for a union revival service to be held for ten days, or two weeks, successively with each of the churches, possibly during the month of March or April. The two pastors are endeavoring to do a bit of team work, by lining up every available personal worker in a campaign, which will have for its aim Trinidad for Christ. Let the church become awakened, and the Christian hosts alarmed, for Jesus Christ must forever be crowned Mrs. Jane Whitlaw, of Los Angeles, California is visiting her sister of this city, Mrs. Mattle Jackson and Mrs. C.

THE GRAND THEATRE CON TINUES TO PLEASE. Everybody who visits Larimer St. knows that their visit is not complete until they have stopped in and been entertained by the high class pictures of the Grand theatre.

Credit for this is due Messrs. A. R. Butler, W. R. Rhodes and Bob Carruth. A neat sum was realized to the lodge as a result of this venture. WORSHIPFUL MASTER OF CENTENNIAL LODGE NO. 4, F. & A.

The church was filled with friends and the floral offerings were profuse, especially those sent by the Ford Motor Co., where he had been employed for several years. Mr. Whitesell was of a quiet, retiring disposition, but a loyal friend. He had established a beautiful home in South Denver and the community will mourn his loss. CARD OF THANKS.
