TUSkEGEE GETS HONORABLE
MENTION.

There has come to our desk this
week a doubly-prized copy of the
Christian Science Monitor" daily
paper issued at Boston. The paper
itself is worth while, being unique in
all the country 1t is free of the daily
chamber of horrors which character
ICES yellow journalism. 1t is record
of the sane, decent people of the
word not the crimes of the degen-
crate and Vicious
Therefore the four columns OF
Statement and illustration which it
gives to Prof. Carver of Tuskegee In
stitute in it's issue of December u
comes with double force. 1t is recog-
milton of the merit of this great bot
anist as man or science such as
could not possibly be paid him If he
was featured by the press, which
seeks only the bizarre. After telling
in energetic style of the youth and
attainments OF the man who was born
a slave, it concludes with an observa-
tion by Prof Washington, principal OF
Tuskegee, which was:
Il have always said that the best
means which the negro has for de
stroying race prejudice is to make
himself a useful and, if possible, an
indispensable member of the commun-
ity in which he lives. Every man and
every community is bound to respect
the man or woman who has some
form of superior knowledge or ability
no matter in what direction 1t is. l
do not know of better illustration OF
this than may be found in the case
of Professor Carver. Without any dis
position to push him forward into any
position in which he is not wanted, he
has been able, because OF his special
knowledge and ability, to make
friends with all classes of people, white
as well as black, throughout the
South. He is constantly receiving in
quiries in regard to his work from all
parts of the word, and his expert
ments in breeding new varieties OF
cotton have aroused the greatest in
terest among those cotton planters
who are interested in the scientific
investigation of cotton growing
1t is a far cry from the time when
the press wrote up Tuskegee because
it was a novelty, to now, when it is
an acknowledged factor in world prog
ress and receives space in the journal
which is a forerunner of a new and
better kind of newspaper service. The
race is sincerely glad. Its thinkers
realize that mans work is the Ne
gro's only passport to citizenship, and
the arrival of our greatest school into
the limelight by the route of merit
gladdens the heart and is prophecy
of what we all shall do.

MR.. AND MRS. PEARL j. PORTER
Hosts at Beautifully Appointed Tenth
Wedding Anniversary.

One of the most brilliant social af
fairs of the season was the reception
given by Mr.. and Mrs. Pearl j. Porter
at their beautiful and artistic home
in High street Christmas evening, in
commemoration of the tenth year OF
their happy and prosperous welded
| life.
Mrs Porter was radiant in a gor-
geous gown of white ebroidered
null over blue silk, with blue satin
scarf and a cluster of rosebuds at her
corsage. Mr.. Porter was conventional
ly clad, and the two presented a really
beautiful picture.
Mrs. Porter's assistants in receiv-
ing were likewise brilliantly attired,
which ladies were Mesdames Julia
Mansfield, Elliston, H. Norman, A.
oledsoe, Cora LaFelle, Elizabeth
Fisher, Eva Porter, A. Grimes, E. Bar
bour, Miss Willella Sneed and Mr.. AL
bert Porter, together with the little
Misses Marguerite Barbour and Jose
phine Porter.
Christmas decorations were used.
Refreshments of the season were
served A feature of the evening was
the solo by Mrs. Eva Porter, which
captivated her hearers, and the vocal
duet by Mr.. and Mrs. A. A. Waller,
which was equally appreciated, Mrs.
DeFrantz, Herndon and Miss Rosie
Bell being at the piano.
The presents were numerous and
costly (there being as much real sill
yer and beautiful aluminium ware as
there was of useful tin and granite
ware. All this attested the vast num-
Der of their friends and the very great
esteem in which this young couple are
held
Mr.. Porter is young man who
started right on his marriage career,
so that it is not surprising after all
that he is continuing right. Ten years
ago, after putting much of his earn
ings in the present home on High
street. he went TO Louisville, KY, and
took for his bride the beautiful Miss
Nola Haynes. He brought her imme-
diately to Denver and seated her in
this house. making her mistress of the
house and home. Mr.. Porter is espe-
cially admired because of his extreme
devotion to his wife and home. While
making rapid progress up the ladder
of fame. Mr.. Porter is well known as
most enthusiastic Christian worker
in this community, giving much OF his
valuable time and talent to church
and charity work. He is at present
the able and much beloved superin-
tendent OF the Zion Baptist Sunday
scnool; was at one time the president
of the Y. NJ. c. B., and presiding Of
| ficer of other organizations where
Christian ability and upright man
hood are needed. Mrs. Porter also
does much for religious and charity
work. These two young people truly
possess the heartiest good wishes of
their many friends for a long, happy
and continued prosperous welded life.

In the past week the young contin-
gent of Canon have formed them
selves into an organization known as
the Father Lights Cub" under the
judicious direction of Mrs. l.. L. Smith
of Denver, who is state organizer. The
purpose of the club is musical, mis-
sionary and educational, and bids fair
to be a dominating source of uplift
TO the young people of this commun-
ity. The educational movement is
statewide and has as its strongest
factor the foundation of local clubs
such as this one in Canon City. The
officers elected at a recent meeting
were: Mr.. Nep Trusty, president; Mr..
Fred Span, treasurer; Miss Davie
Wells, secretary; Mr.. Scott Clark,
chairman program committee; Miss

mittee. Rev Walter Brandon is one
of the principal boosters and hopes
thereby to have delegates to the next

The fiftieth anniversary of the free
dom of the Negro in the United States
is at hand. We have men still living
whose accomplishments in material
way and for moral uplift since their
emancipation prove their right to
freedom and citizenship. Though at
times the course we pursue is OBJ
scured by clouds, though we are be-
set with foes, yet progress has been
made. We ourselves and those who
consider what we have accomplished
are really astonished by the marvel
Gus change from the slave to the citi-
zen. 1t is really compliment to us
and to our powers of assimilating civ
iliZation that we are now criticised
because we do not measure up fully
TO the standard of the white citizen
Only so years ago it was not thought
that we should ever approach SO near
to it that our failure to equal it would
be a cause of criticism. Let us take
heart and push on, thanking Provi-
dence for its past kindness, and vim
dicating our birthright by our perse-
verence.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Oct. IA
When President Chas. Cohn declared
the city council of Nashville adjourn
ed sine die Monday night about s
o'clock there went out of existence an
institution of government which has
been in force in this city for more
than a century, to be exact, for one
hundred and seven years. The coun-
Gil first came into existence in the
year 1906, when Joseph Coleman was
elected mayor and John Anderson re-
corder. The FIRST council was elected
from the city at large and was COM
posed of James Harmon, George M.
Deaderick, Robert Searcy, JOSEPH T.
Elliston and James King. Since that
time statesmen have been born, grown
to manhood and won fame in the
city. Battles have been fought and
the war between the states has pass
ed into history, but through 1t all the
city council has held on. Changes
have been made in that body, the
nhnner of electing 1t and the form Of
government has been changed, but
the council has remained.
