gro Culture In West Africa"
Hon. George w. Ellis. for eight years
secretary of the American legation in
Liberia. who has Travelled I'm West
Africa. is the author of u new and in
teresting book, Negro Culture In
West Africa which is bound to have
an extensive circulation bfcause there
Is no other book like it ffom the pen
Of Negro writer as able and well
Informed In things African as George
W. Ellis confessedly IL.
Speaking OF Negro culture, a prOmi-
nent writer says one is surprised at
their dhe .AfricansJ knowledge of n.y.
giene. physiology and the principles of
medicine. Some of the operations per
formed by their physicians simply
stagger belief. Instances are cited
where their surgeons have extracted
bullets and set bones, removing frac-
tured and shattered parts that would
have been a surgical triumph in any
II the highly civilised countries.
This seems incredible, but when you
see q native doctor wash 4 mans
hand tn q medical solution, then see
that hand thrust into boiling palm oil
and withdrawn without pain or injury.
something suggests to the strongest
incredulity that perhaps these people
have learned something yet unknown
to modern science.

AN APPEAL TO JUsTIcE-LOvING
MEN AND WOMEN.
Doing the Square Thins-Are You
One?

The Ministerial Alliance of Denver,
together with the Denver Peoples Al
lance, after thorough investigation
of the case of ]. w. Jones, have de-
cided that his is worthy cause for
the charity and assistance of all col
ored men and women. 1t appears
that in self defense he killed another
man. He was tried and sentenced to
hang Dec. Is, 1914. Ex-Gov. Ammons
reprieved him until May, 1915. We
must raise 5000 to get his case to
the Supreme court before that time.
Jones is without friends, has no mon
ey and faces death. We believe the
Supreme court will rule in his favor.
We must raise 5000. We appeal to
you. Act at once. Send your dona-
tions to Titus S. Rector, 2716 Welton
street, Denver, Colo.

The Ministerial Alliance, assisted
by the Peoples Sunday Alliance, are
appealing to the men and women in
Denver and out in the state and out
side of this state to save the life of
their fellow man, who is condemned
to die May 13. Money is needed to
take his case to Supreme court. He
did not have fair trial and he is
helpless, penniless and friendless, yet
he is some mothers son and some
sisters brother. Will you send your

self last Wednesday night, or IL they
organize on principles different from
the Movement every Negro can un-
derstand the purpose of such an or
ganization. One down-and-out politi-
cal superannuate white man, Water
man by name, had several Negroes
come to see MIN for the purpose of
organizing and delivering to some fu-
ture unknown candidate the election
for an unknown sum or benefit to the
Negroes in general-300 Negro votes,
bag and baggage. 1t was to head of
this kind of sentiment that intelligent
Negroes in these days did not possess
sense enough, intelligence enough, and
racial loyalty enough to organize a
club for themselves, that the broad,
patriotic and timely call was issued
by Temporary Chairman w. B. Town
send. Although we are burdened with
heavy taxes and are active voters,
yet no Negroes get jobs in the City
park, or watchmen in our many
parks; we are denied jobs on the
streets in any capacity. Although we
have competent and reputable doc
tors, lawyers and other men who
could fill jobs and positions in the
city attorneys Office, in the board of
health, as inspectors, in our hospitals
as nurses, whose qualifications equal
and excel many who are employed
Our jobs in the fire and police depart
ment are limited and the chance must
be kept open. We have no clerical
positions, though we have 5000 votes.
No jobs on the public highway have
we, yet we elect men with our 1000
votes who deny US our just due. All
that we have is three janitors, one
elevator man and a messenger. We
cannot bathe in Washington park, by
order of Otto Thum. We cannot bathe
in the public bath house only upon
such occasions as Clair Pitcher sees
fit to let Negro men and women
bathe. We are and have been sadly
against by him. Such
racial hatreds and determinations
have become so general and bold that

you follow and give your support to
it, when it is formed by white man

by Miss Stevenson, Karl and Holgar
Kohnke, Mayor Lacroix opened the
meeting with few appropriate re-
marks, followed by Mr.. E. G. Davis,
who very ably pointed out the great
Importance and necessity of such an
organization in Covington.
DR.. Stevenson, A. D. Schwartz, r
L. Aubert, H. E. Ellis, and others,
made very interesting talks upon the

Covington. Miss Kate Eastman and
Mrs. ]. C. Burns also spoke very
forcibly of the need Of such an or

The Covington Bank & Trust Co.

passed through more scenes of the
European war, looked upon more
misery in the quarters OF captured
prisoners, bears more characters and
stamps that are unintelligible to the
American citizen, than war corr
respondents passport that has been
viseed by all the powers at war. It
has brought pleasure to the sad heart
OF an Austrian prisoner in Siberia
for few short moments OF hope and
expectancy, only to disappear in the
tangled requirements Of the routine
methods of warfare. Perhaps it will
only be memory to him, and per-
haps he may get his money some
time. At present he is only dream
ing of what that money could do for
him now, for the piece Of paper In
question is a bill of exchange sent
to Josef Patecek, brother to Frank
Patecek, of Covington, on the Union
Trust Company of New York. MT.
Patecek sent this money to his broth
er, Josef. who is prisoner OF war
in Siberia, at Petrograd. It is COW
cred with all kinds of unbeatable
stamps and endorsements, and while
it bears the endorsement OF Josef
Patecek and passed through his
hands, he has not yet received the
money, $500. He may get it in
time. There is no telling. 1t was
issued November A, 1914, and has
the endorsement of the "Banque de
