ROMAN CATHOLICISM
AND THE NEGRO

The sixth annual conference OF
the National Association for the
Advancement of the Colorado
People was held in Baltimore,
May 3 5 The Rev. Stephen l..
Theobald, pastor of the Chuch OF
st. Peter Chaver in st. Paul, rep
resented the Catholic Church. He
is the sixth of the Negro race to
be elevated to the priesthood The
work of this Church is growing
slowly but steadily among the
colored people, and churches built
for the exclusive use of this race
are being erected in many cities.
There are l6S Catholic priest en-
gagged in the work of evangelical
tiop there are 102 churches, l5u
schools with 14,14 pupils, and
twenty three institutions of var
ious sorts with 2,22S inmates.

TWO NOTABLE
OPERATIONS
(From Nashville Globe)

Within the past four weeks
there have been performed at
Hubbard Hospital two rare surgi-
cal operations. The operator DIR.
Stewart, head surgeon of the hos
pital reports that i'll all his prac-
tice extending over more than 20
years these are the only ones of
this nature that have come under
his observation. And strange to
say these two cases almost exactly
alike came to the hospital within
the same month. The first patient
was MIR. Richard Roper of the East
Side seemed to be dying from
galloping consumption following
an attack of pneumonia. At Hub
bard hospital IA careful examina-
ton revealed the fact his left chest
was filled with some substance
probably water or pus. On the op-
Grating table, under general anes-
thetic, a part of his 9th left rib was
removed and over a gallon of fetia
pus escaped from the plural cav
ity. His consumption symptoms
disappeared as if by magic and in
two weeks he left the hospital for
his home where his convalescence
has been prompt and perfect.
The second patient, Mr.. Peyton
Cranberry of Mt. Pleasant was
shot through the right chest be-
tween the Bird and 4th ribs about
four weeks before he entered the
hospital. His right chest was
full of blood and pus and at this
operation portion of the 7th rib
was removed and about 81 quarts
of decomposed blood and pus and
debris were allowed to escape.
His convalescence was also prompt
and uneventful and he left the
hospital for his home. These two
cases are examples of the kind of
surgery that is being done almost
daily by some member of the sur
gical staff of Hubbard Hospital.

Birmingham, Ala, June 90
The action of the Republican state
executive committee at Birming
ham Wednesday, June 3, which
eliminated the Negro from partici.
patton in the state convention to
be held July %, means that seven
teen counties in the state will have
no representation in the conven-
ton. 1t is believed that the action
was taken to smooth the way for
an alliance of the old-line Repub-
licans with the Progressives and
the disgruntled Democrats. Ma
jor p. d. Barker, national COM
mitteemen, and few white Re-
publicans, protested against the
action, but absence of the Negro
committeeman of the First District
@. W. Allen and Frank Tree, from
the meeting made the white men
reason that it was useless to fight
for people whose own representa-
tion were not sufficiently interest
ed to be present. The vote on the
resolution eliminating the Negro
was carried by majority of seven,
the poll resulting % to Is, but if
the Negro committeeman had been
present it is thought the vote
could easily have been changed.
There will be no Negro in the
convention but it is believed that
this action will ultimately fail of
accomplishing the purpose intend
ed. National Committeeman Bar
ker called attention to the fact
that if the national committee had

The Colorado statesman., 1914-07-04

The law directing that the accom-
modations provided for the color
ed passengers shall be equal in ev-
cry respect to those set apart for
the white people is so specific that
the best legal authorities in Ken
lucky have given it as their opin-
ion that the verdict will stand
Equal accommodations is the
saving clause of the Jim Crow
laws in all of the Southern States
the Supreme Court of the United
States having validated these laws
upon that clause alone, holding
that SO long as Negro received
accommodations equal to that CIV
en- by the white people in the mat
ter of coaches and other conv9n-
fences that there existed no dis
elimination. That the railroads
in the South have utterly ignored
this provision of the law is motor
ious, and this decisions, will
have "a far reaching effect,
at least to the extent of Sc
curing better accommodation, if
not the equal as standardized by
those enjoyed by the white people.
AS was brought out in the trial
here, few of the railroads in the
South afford separate toilet rooms
for men and women in the Jim
Grow cars, both sexes being forced
to use the toilets in common.
Since the indictments have been
returned in the local court, one of
the railroads has established on
one train conditions that approach
ed equal accommodations securing
a new car with smoking compart-
ment and separate toilet rooms,
and assurances are given that the
work of improving the service, for
the colored people will be pressed
for ward, but the prosecution dis
trusts this apparent disposition to
do belated justice to the colored
people and will press the prosecu.
ton to the end.
The pleasant feature of the fight
here is that as many white people
are engaged in the action to Sc
cure equal accommodations for COL
ored people as Negroes, number
of them appearing as witnesses for
the prosecution of the railroad.
Too much credit cannot be given

Honorable B. j. Davis, the fear

dent, III the last two issues of that
paper makes some very serious
charges against the colored minis

ridden set of men bent on greed,
averice and sacrificing everything
for the dollar. The young people
are leaving the churches and seek
ing places of amusement because
the sermons are empty and COM
mon-place. Rev, DIR. Miller, rep
resentative of the John G. Martin
movement, occurring to a body of
colored ministers said: There is
no Roman Catholic priest who
wields a greater influence over his
congregation than the Negro
preacher is i'll position to WELD"
Notwithstanding there are many
exceptions to those shameful
charges, the Atlanta editor con-
tends that the majority of them
are guilty. Mr.. Davis is not the
only observer who makes this
charge upon the colored ministry
we are sorry to say, and whether
or not these charges are true, too
much emphasis cannot be placed
upon the fact that there is room
for great improvement on the part
of the Negro ministers. If the
charges are true, the ministers who
are innocent and are conscientious
ly discharging their duties should
lead a crusade against such prac-
tices in their ranks. If not, it is
up to all of them TO remove the
cause that leads people to think
they are true. If people believe
thing is true, the effect upon them
is almost the same that it would be
if it were true.

Hopkinsville, Ky, June 23.-It
took the jury in the case against
the Louisville and Nashville Rail-
road for failure to furnish proper
accommodations for its colored
passengers just fifteen minutes on
Wednesday, June IL, to return a
verdict of guilty against that cor
poration and assess against it a
fine of $500. The jury was COM
posed entirely of white men, large
ly farmers, upon whom strenuous
pressure was applied by the coun-
sci for the railroad in their argu-
ments that the Negroes were u.s.
ing this case as an entering wedge
to secure social equality between
the races, and all authorities agree
that the verdict is the greatest vic
tory achieved by the colored peo-
pie of the South in defense of
their rights in forty years.
The railroads contested every
inch of the ground, bringing into
action some of the best legal tai
ent in the State to defend them
from the Indictment, and these
lawyers went to extremes in ap-
pealing to the prejudices of the
jury, but their efforts were with
out avail. The best element of
the white people, including nearly
every business man in Hopkins
vile and the leading farmers in
the country surrounding, gave
their moral and active support to
the movement, which was inaugu-
rated by Phil HI. Brown, editor of
The Saturday News, formerly
assistant director of publicity at
the Republican National Com
mittee, and Judge John Feland,
for some time judge of one of the
Kentucky circuit districts. The
case had the support of all of the
colored people of Christian Coun-
ty.
Personal appeals were made by
Judge Feland and Mr.. Brown to
the management of the railroads
and TO the State Railroad Com
mission, but no results accrued.
At the last term of Christian
County Circuit Court the matter
was brought to the attention of
Commonwealth Attorney Denny
P. Smith. who directed the grand
Jury to make an investigation,
which resulted in the Indictment
of the l.. & n. Railroad Company
in six counts, the |. @. in two
counts and the T.. @. in three.
There is little doubt that the
verdict against the L. & N. will
be sustained by the Court of Ap-
peals, to which it can be carried,
