Colored Citizens Gain
School Facilities

Jacksonville, Fla, Sept. IT,
The Negro school children OF
Jacksonville will be provided with
additional facilities to the extent
of three new high school buildings,
which is to be the equal in every
way of the high school building
for white children. This is the
outcome of the fight made by Ne

from the 100000 bond issue re-

solved at one stroke by the com
pulsory enlistment of every able
bodied male Negro between the
ages of eighteen and forty in a
huge standing army" He calcu.
lates that such an enlistment
would provide the United States
with an excellent army of one
million men.
The writer in The Mail pays a
fine tribute to the loyalty and
fighting record of colored men in
all the wars of the United States,
but he feels that all the officers of
his million. men army should be
white He figures his plan out in
detail; for example, he shows that
this army could be maintained at
very small cost, because in time of
peace it could be employed in
Strengthening out the Mississippi
River, building dikes and levees,
irrigating and reclaimlng the
American desert, building rail-
roads and working mines in Alas
ka. and on other such jobs. Tnen,
when war came along, they could
be used as breastwoIks. Not a
bad plan, If the Negro himself is
not considered.
Yet, as good business deal as
it would be to have a million able.
bodied men engaged on the nation
al public works at fifteen dollars
per month each, and ready to fight
whenever needed. we are sure that
the proposition will not appeal to
the American people. In the first
The Colorado statesman., 1915-09-25

place, in spite of the Negro's su.
perb loyalty, it would be only
natural for the white people to
hesitate about placing their safety
in the hands of a million armed
men of race which is treated as
they treat the Negro. Their own
consciences would make them hes
itate
If the writer in The Mail is
most concerned about military pre-
paredness for this country, we say
to him that no compulsory enlist
ment will be necessary for the
Negro. In times past when he did
not have so much to fight for, he
has freely and bravely risked his
life for the flag; he will do the
same today, fit is required
If the writer in The Mail is
most concerned about solving the
Negro problem, we say to him
there is only one solution, and
that is to treat the Negro justly
and give him fair chance. In
other words, square deal will do
it.

WHITE FUNERAL
NOTED NEGRO

Dover, Del, Sept. 15.--The
most unusual funeral ever held in
Kent County will take place in
Dover tomorrow afternoon. when
the remains of George Washing

Negro, will be placed in their last
resting place. Halls funeral will
be most unique in that all Negroes

of age at the time of his death in a

Colorado Annual
COferenCe

The session of the Colorado Annual
Conference of the African Methodist
Episcopal Church, which was brought
to a close Sunday evening last at
Shorter Chapel, was declared one of
the most brilliant and successful in
its history. Large increases in men,
bership and conference claims were
reported and well arranged and
varied program covering five days
were rendered and fine spirit of fell
lowship pervaded the entire session.
The young people and laity of the con-
ference were given a larger place on
the conference program which so fired
er's large auditorium was crowded at
almost every session and overflowed
at all the Sunday services. Our To-
cal churches made flattering reports,
Campbell chapel surprising all pre-
vious records and Shorter chapel roll
ing 2O3 accessions to its membership,
which is the largest number ever re-
ported from this charge
Shorter did herself credit in the
very splendid way in which she enter
tanned the delegation. A beautiful
rest room for the ladies was an inno-
walton which met with popular ap-
proval. The entertainment of the
conference was under the auspices of
the several auXiliaries of the church,
deaconess, stewardess, Missionary So
ciety, Sewing Circle, Ladies' Aid So
ciety, A. C. e. League, Ushers' Club
and Sunday school. Each We'd with
the other in their efforts to make
their day the best.
This being the final year of the
quadrennium, unusual interest was
manifested in the election of dele
gates to the Centennial General Con
ference, to be held in Philadelphia,
Pa, in May, 1916. The result of the
election was as follows Revs. Rob
ert l.. Pope, BID, and A. NJ Ward,
delegates, and Revs Jas. Washington
and j, M. Endicott, alternates. Bish-
op Parks never appeared to better
advantage than in presiding over this
conference. His men were charmed
with the way in which the affairs of
the conference were managed and the
fine spirit of fairness which was evi-
denced on all occasions. The desire
for return of Bishop H. B. Parks to
the Fifth Episcopal district for an
other four years was freely expressed
by both ministry and layman. In token
of the very high regard in which Bish-
op and Mrs. Parks are held by the
members of the Colorado Conference
a handsome Thermal bottle and Brief
case were presented the Bishop and
a beautiful hand-painted dressing ta
