Named For Great English Statesman.

In 1853 the Cincinnati conference OF
the NJ. e. church decided to establish
college for the higher education of the
colored race. In 1856 Tawana Springs
(sweet water). a summer resort three
miles from Xenia in Greene county.
was purchased and named Wilberforce
university in honor of the great Eng
lish statesman and benefactor of the
colored race. William Wilberforce.
Thus far, over half century, Ohio has
been contributing her quota of support
toward higher education for Afro
Americans. --ln1n

TO STRIKE OR NOT TO STRIKE,
THAT'S THE QUESTlON-WiLL
THE NEGROES STRIKE?

In the Southern fields of Colorado,
where there are about 600 to 1000
Negro miners employed, the para
mount question puzzling them is,
whether they should or should not
strike. The Negro fully realizes that
no strike in this country has succeed
ed in winning a controversy unless
that strike was backed up by the
great power of public opinion. In
other words, the prevailing conditions
existing between the employer and
employe have had to be such as to
convince the public that the employees
were not getting what they were en-
titled to, from their employers, before
the claims of the employe received a
favorable verdict from the court of
public opinion. The fact that en-
pioyers, as well as the employe, must
be able to show the public that their
position is right is the key to the sit
uation and the trump card to be
played, for either side to win the pub
lies favor. Have these Negroes who
hourly risk their lives underground
to get out the coal any complaint to
make, no serious differences with
their employers, no change in wages
or in working conditions to demand,
then are they enough interested to
strike because union miners are
striking. How many Negroes are
working in the mines where the union
is fully recognized in Colorado. The
Negro never makes anything by strik-
ing and sometimes less by taking
strikers places, SO why should he
take any part in this coal struggle at
all? This is a clean cut fight between
white men and why not let them set
tie their differences without our in
reference? When it is to the en-
ployer's advantage to settle the strike
by your elimination, if you were an
issue involved, you would be elimin-
ated. If permitted to join the union
you would be disseminated against
within the union, SO the Star thinks
and advises the Negro to attend
strictly to his own work and his own
business. Business and all CONNER
cial organizations are against strikes
and the Negro has his job, if nothing
else, to lose, for, well he knows, how
hard it is to get good paying steady
job. Stick to your post.

Lawrence Hex's Life Sentence
COMMITTED.

The State Board of Pardons
recently commuted the life
sentence of Lawrence Hex,
colored, of Pueblo to thirty
years. Hex was the first per-
son to be tried under the new
capital punishment law pass
ed in 1901. Hex in a fit of
jealousy at Pueblo, shot and
killed two persons, man and
woman, in the home of the
woman, who was killed, but
the man killed was not the
husband. No lawyer would
take the case Or they were
sure Hex would hang. Law
yer Townsend had located in
Pueblo three months before
the killing and had cleared a
colored porter for killing two
white men, brothers, in a ho-
tel at that place. The court
appointed Lawyer Townsend
against his protest to defend
Hex, who had no money and
no friends, being a stranger
there from Fort Worth, Tex,
and was very unpopular. On
account of the killing of the
two people Lawyer Townsend
defended Hex for eight days,
putting up one of the hardest
legal battles in the history of
Pueblo. Hex was convicted
and sentenced to hang. Mo-
ton for a new trial was over
ruled; Lawyer Townsend in
sisted that his client had not
had a fair trial though guilty
and the case was appealed to
the Governor and Board of
Pardons::b Hex had no
money to put his case in the
Supreme Court. After a long
effort before the Board Hex's
life was saved by his sentence
being committed to life i'm
prisonment and now after II
years the Board commntes his
life sentence to thirty years,
which giving credit for the
time he has put in he will
serve about ten years more
before he is a free man, all of
which goes to prove that
while there is life there is
hope.

BUSINESS LEAGUE LAUDED.
High Tribute Faid Our Race by John
Wanamaker.


One of the most important as well
as enjoyable features of the recent
meeting of the National Negro Busi-
ness league. held in Philadelphia. was
the visit by invitation to the big store
of Mr.. John Wanamaker by hundreds
of delegates in body. They were
entertained in Egyptian hall, part of
the store which is devoted to the sale
of musical instruments and various
works of art
After music and speeches by the Hon.
George 81. White. Hon. ]. G. Napier.
Mr.. ]. II. Blodgett. President Wash
ington and Vice President Charles
Banks on behalf of the Business league
Mr.. Wanamaker delivered very en-
couraging address in response. Mr..
Wanamaker said in part:
1.-THE American people are becoming
proud Of their Negro brothers and SIS
ters, who have proved their rights to
citizenship. When they can stand up
together as you are doing today no
praise can be too great for them.
Il cannot remember when this plat
form has had upon It a more distin-
guished body of men. and came here
simply to sit among you as one of the
family.
This hall has held many meetings,
but never one like this. l believe the
story of this gathering should be set
down in history to offset the story of
William Lloyd Garrison and his treat
ment on this spot over half century
ago.
Il am one of those who would like to
see colored women in the offices of the
various business houses in our cities
They should be equipped to take their
places in the stores as stenographers,
cashiers and clerks"

A Staple Medicine
for All Families
From infancy to Old Age Reliable
Family Lexative Is Most Needed
Try This One.

1t is inconceivable in this day of
general Intelligence that any famA
would be without a simpe remedy for
the minor ills of life, for often by Civ
ing such a remedy in time a serious
disease can be frustrated and a life
saved.
For example, if at the first sign of
cold a simple laxative tonic like DR..
Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin were given
the beginning of a serious lung arrec-
ton or of typhoid fever might be
avoided. And also in headaches. ner-
vousness, etc. small dose of this
remedy would relieve the congestion
and replace distress with comfort
Mothers give it to tiny infants and
little chillren and grown people take
it with equally good effect.
Thousands of good American homes
are never without it, among them the
home of DR.. Geo. T. Hull, Prop. Hull
Drug Co.. Prue, Okla. DR.. Hull has
for number of years recommended
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin in his
practice and writes that "for stomach
and bowel disorders, worms in chill
dren and a general laxative-tonic it
has no equal" Syrup Pepsin saves
the health of the family, and it saves
| doctors bills. 1t is a guaranteed
cure for any form of stomach, liver
and bowel trouble, constipation, in
digestion, biliousness, gas on the stom-
ach, headaches, drowsiness after cav
ing, etc. Have no hesitance about
giving it to any member of the fam
ily however young or old, for it con-

A bottle can be obtained at any
nearby drug store for fifty cents or
one dollar. The latter size is more
economical and is bought by those
who have already convinced them
selves of its merits. Syrup Pepsin
users learn to discard pills, salts,
carthartics and purgatives generally
as they are too great shock to any
average system.

ever used Syrup Pepsin and you

There Is more Catarrh In this section of
the country than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For great
many years doctors pronounced 1t a local
disease and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced 1t incurable. Sci
ence has proven Catarrh to be q constl-

constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
