MRS, CANS SUES FOR
DIVORCE

Baltimore, Md.-Joe Cans, the
lightweight champion, is in the
divorce courts of this city again.
Cans was not present in person,
but his wife, Madge Cans, through
Attorney George W, Cameron,
filed bill for partial divorce in
Circuit court No 2. Judge Gorter
signed an order giving the pugilist
until March 18th to show why
counsel fee of 5000 and alimony of
$50 week should not be paid by
Cans while trial is pending
Cans sued his wife for divorce
two years ago. and the bill was dis
missed. In her suit his wife
charges him with vicious conduct
and infdelity. She says they we're
married in New York on April s,
1900, coming to Baltimore and re-
siding on Druid Hill avenue with
in the following year. She charges
the fighter with travelling West
with another woman, who was in
troduced by him as Mrs. Cans.
Cans wife says that his hotel,
known as the Goldfeld Hotel, at
Lexington and Chestnut streets, is
worth $4,000 and that he owns an
automobile worth $4,000, diamonds
and other valuables. His income
according to her calculations,
amounts to $4,000 year. She
recites further that it will be nee
essary for her to bring witnesses
from San Francisco.

PROF. GLEN AT BOULDER

The most intellectual treat and
really the most unique entertain
ment that has come to the people
of Boulder in a long time, was fur
nished last Friday evening at the
A M. E. church by Prof. Chas. d.
Glen of Denver.
Prof. Glen, who is a talented
poet, gave reading of few of
his poems, that was decided sue
cess. He rendered some of his
classical and more serious works,
setting his audience to thinking;
and number of his humorist Sc
lections, provoking an uproar of
laughter that was difficult to allay.
The audience, not as large as the
occasion demanded, charmed by
the sweet voice and graceful man
ner of the poet, would gladly have
listened to him hours longer, had
time permitted,
1t is an undeniable fact that MIR.
Glen is an honor to his race. He
is deep thinker, philosopher
and a devotee of science. The
course of lectures which he has
prepared on THE Mastery of Life"
would doubtless more than repay
one for availing himself of them.
There is a movement now on
foot to have Mr. Clem appear be-
fore an audience at one of the
white churches in this city soon.
Those who have heard him say
"the sooner, the better"

CHRISTIAN ACTIVITIES
AND THE RACE

Every race has it's spiritual dis
tinctiveness. Do what you may
with a race: miscegenate it as
much as you may, and the FREEDOM
mate trate of the race will mani
fest itself above the chrysalis OF
miscegeneation and mimicry. A
certain white theologian, in Writing
upon the spiritual activities of the
races, places the Negro race on the
topmost round of the ladder, say
that he is of ''a celestial genius. y
Another writer says that "only a
people pradled in the third heaven
where Paul entered and became
dumbfounded at the unuterable-
ness of the love of God as exem
plified by the denizens of that up
per region could be patient and
long suffering enough to bear the
horrors of slavery and SO forget the
wickedness of their hellish task
masters as not to rise in Judgment
against him''
The truth of the above state
ment by sober men Of the Cauca-
sian family is worth the serious
consideration of the best men of
the white and the best men Of the
black races, In all of the wonder
full comings- to- pass of the ages the
representatives of the Ham section
of humanity have been there to
play their part. Despite what
wicked men have tried to say in
order to hide the truth, history
lives to prove that in times of fierce
aggression, whether in the battle
field, the church, or the state, the
Negro race has been duly repre-
sented. We challenge any sane
man to prove the negative. Ebed-

on his kingly master and whose
love for truth and compassion for

Oklahoma City, Okla, March "a.
Judge Cotteral in the federal
circuit court tonight denied the
application of Oklahoma Negroes
for court order restraining the
enforcement of the state Jim Crow
law until it's constitutionality and
validity can be fully determined.
In denying the application, Judge
Cotteral said: This decision
merely means that the court in its
present light does not believe that
the rights of the parties will be in
fringed in awaiting further court
argument. The complainants have
right to damages in equity in

SENATE, REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA.
Monrovia, January "a. 1908.
Hon. CHAs. HALL ADAMS:
My Dear Mr.. Adams-Your let
ter relating to the organization OF
The Liberian Development Asso
citation was received this morning
and l have already shown it to sew
eral statesmen, including the Pres
ident himself. I may state that
any such movement would meet
with large measure of sympathy
and encouragement, especially at
this moment, and it is to be hoped
that the idea will not die before
maturing, as, sad to say, too many
similar movements have. [ hear
tily endorse your idea of planning
the colony on the Cavalla frontier,
and ] may mention that already
three settlements have been laid
out which are practically unsettl
ed, owing to the fact that we have
had no accessions to Cape Palmas
since they were surveyed, now
some ten years ago. These settle.
ments are about forty miles from
the mouth of the Cavalla and
about twenty miles from the port
of Harper by land. l may men,
ton that at the mouth of the river
there is the port of River Cavalla,
so that for shipping purposes there
is waterway from any of the
three settlements straight to this
port. There is plenty of land
around and heavy forest of ma
hogany and hardwoods. 1t is my
firm opinion that if the colony
should come to this section there
would be open to them great fu-
ture for prosperity, agriculturally
and commercially, The richness
and fertility of the soil in this Sec
ton is proverbial, so that nothing
would be wanting in this relation.
,Inay state that 1 have just in
troduced bill in the Senate for
the construction and equipment of
a road from Harper to the Cavalla.
1t is not proposed to lay rail tracks
in the first instance, but it will be
constructed so as to accommodate
such locomotives as steam trolleys,
traction engines and such like;

the great glorifcation of His HUI

representatives of the capabilities
of the Christian activities of our
race in all ages of the world and
under all circumstances.

forth his mental edicts TO the

while we must emphasize the ne

us not overstep the bounds of su-

sight of the fact of our present
contention, namely, that the spirit
ual is supreme, and stands to the

The tree of life is akin to what is

for. We plead for the highest
Christian activity in the church
today. 1t is a falsehood of TIE
deepest dye to imagine that
the political arena is the sphere
to operate for the upbuild-
