LEADERSHIP FOR COL.
ORED AMERICAN RACE
QUESTIONED.
caustic Comment by Rev. VIM. A.
Byrd of Rochester, N. Y.

| Some of our contemporaries are
running to the defense of Mr.. Os
wald Garrison Willard. We shall not
| quarrel with them about 1t, but we re
iterate, there Is no middle ground! II
Mr.. Willard approves the policies OF
President Wilson respecting the Col
ored people, he cannot fight the battle
of the Colored race so as to get for il
real freedom! Any man, organization
or newspaper that straddles and wab
bles on the issue of absolute equality
of the Colored race in everything re-
specting citizenship, with other races
cannot be leader of the race!
The Colored race is not going about
asking anybody to be our friends
What it demands is constitutional JUS
tice as an American citizen. 1t is a
sign of inferiority and trucking when
a Colored man speaks loudly about
our white friends AS a race, we
are not asking to put our friends or
foes in the White House, but we do
demand that whoever goes there is
duty bound to be just and fair with all
American citizens. "Our white
friends" in the South are the most
useless class extant! They speak
after the mean deed is executed. They
are worth nothing as preventative.
That Mr.. Willard, by voting for and
supporting Mr.. Wilson, can get better
consideration for the Colored people
at his (Wilson's) hands is a damag-
ing admission. AS man among men,
l would spurn any consideration given
me because some white man can inter-
cede and get it for me. If am en-
titled to it, the constitution demands
that l shall have it. If / am not en-
titled to it, no one should seek to get
it for me, for in so doing the consti-
tuition is being destroyed. AS a man,
Mr.. Willard is fine, but as leader in
the fight for justice for Colored Amer
leans, he has compromised by doing
as he has.

eleventh ANNUAL NATIONAL
WESTERN STOCK SHOW.

Another fine exhibition of stocks
the best trained horses, the cows,
sheep, hogs, ETC., of special variety,
will be afforded the people of Colora-
do and adjoining states when the
gates of the Denver Union Stockyards
and the doors of the great stadium will
swing wide open for the admission of
patrons. Tom Bass, whose name has
become household word in the Unit
ed States on account of his fame in
skilled horsemanship, is here with his
famous high-school mare, Belle Beach,
and a string of other noted animals.
He being the only colored exhibitor
privileged to take part in this great
event, special interest should be
evinced by the members of his race,
who should turn out in full to witness
the event.

ADOPT COLORED CHILD
BY MISTAKE E.

Chicago, Jan. 10. Somewhere
in Chicago lives a wealthy family
with an adopted baby that has
turned out to be a Negro. The
baby was brought from New Or
leans by the couple. Thomas H.
Agney, superintendent of Louis
lana Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Children, said the
couple came to him six months
ago and wanted a baby. He was
unable to supply one, but learned
later they secured one elsewhere.
Saturday he received letter
that the baby, when first taken,
was white, but had turned dark
and now has kinky hair.

NEGRO LABOR WANTED AT
DOVER, NEW JERSEY

Dover, N. J.-For the first time in
the history of this town the stove
works here is employing Negro labor.
There is every desire on the part Of
the white citizens to assist in the es-
tablishing of the Negro in the COM
munity life, and they are doing all
possible to secure the best class for
the openings that are being made.
There are already some eight or ten
colored men employed by the stove
works.
The report has been verified that
the Wharton Furnace Co. is going to
start up here and intends employing
from three to four hundred colored
men. For more than century there
has been no industrial opening for
the Negro in this community, but the
men at the head of the industries are
realizing now that there is ample
skilled labor to be supplied by mem
bers of the race.
w. III. Young, 12 First street, has
received letters from friend in the
south informing him that the exodus
of Negro labor is on the increase and
that members of the race are leaving
for the North by carloads. Mr.. Young
is in touch with labor conditions here
in Dover and vicinity and will advise
any one of the race who want to find
out about these new opportunities
which are offered by the stove works
and the furnace company.

NEGRO DAIRY MAN
WINS HONORS

Were it not for the colored
newspapers we would seldom
know the honor that many of our
colored folk are receiving in the
various industries in this state
and in this country. At the re-
cent milk test held in Des Moines
for the state of Iowa, Julian o.
Winston, a Negro dairyman re-
siding near Ottumwa received
the highest test from his milk.
The manner of testing milk
comes about in this way. The
state dairymen officials collect
two bottles from the dairyman
without acknowledging the fact
or telling them, and they de-
liver these bottles of milk to Des
Moines, where they hold their
annual test. And this year Jul
lar WiRsston's milk won the first
prize. Mr.. Winston moved to
Ottumwa, Iowa, from Charlotts-
vile, Va, ten years ago and
bought a farm of 180 acres. Two
years ago he entered the dairy
business, known as the Willow
Springs dairy. At first he had
twenty-five head of cows. When
he first started the people tried
to down him because of his color,
but his milk being superior, it
won its way, and today he cannot
supply his demands, although he
is constantly increasing his dairy
farm. Their is one other colored
man who has a dairy farm and is
doing a large business, that is
David Garner of Red Oak, Iowa.
He has recently entered in the
dairy business and has the bulk
of the trade in Red Oak.

AWARDED $1,000
AS DAMAGES

Jackson, Miss. Mrs. Betty
Norton, of this city, has been
awarded a verdict of $1,000 be-
cause she had to sleep in the
same coach with a colored pass
enger. Mrs. Norton boarded a
train at Philadelphia enroute to
Memphis. A colored man had
engaged a berth in the same
sleeper. Mrs. Norton protested
but the man was permitted to re-
remain in the coach. The
supreme court held that the
special coach law is binding on
the Southern railway in all states
where the line runs, except IL
linois and Indiana.

SECOND OPERATION
ON DUBOIS

New York, N. Y, Jan. 10.
1917.-Dr. VIM. E. B. Dubois,
editor of The Crisis, and noted
champion of rights of Cololed
race, underwent a second operer-
alton for kidney trouble, on
Thursday at St. Luke's Hospital,
this city. Both operations were
successful and the patient is
slowly improving, but is very
sick. He has been at the hospi-
tai some three weeks.
The 100 members of the
Church of God and Saints of
Christ, generally known as the
Holy Feet Washers, are greatly
distressed over the death of their
leader, Bishop ]. w. Crowdy,
which occurred in Boston on Mon
day, of ''galloping" consumption
the Bishop having recently gone
to that city to consult the official
physician of the cult. Crowdy's
home was at No. 1886 Fitzwater
street, west of Broad, and the
congregation has stores, barber
shop, printing Office and other
enterprises under its control.

-Colored Papers
Should Be Used
By Negro Ad-
VetiSerS

forgetting that the foundation of their
business and institutions depends up
on the colored man to patronize them,
even if they would keep them in ex-
istence by partial aid OF the white
man.
We are here appealing to the loyal
colored business men throughout the
country, to take under consideration
the fact that when he is advertising
in Negro paper, he is helping to
build an enterprise that is employing
his people, fighting the battles of a
race that is unjustly Disseminated
against. These papers are making 1t
possible for the educational institu-
tions to exist and making it possible
for men to do business through the
publicity they give them, and for all
other kinds of business to remain in
existence and building up not only
these institutions, but men of worth
to the race.
We again appeal to the colored
business men to expend more of their
money advertising in colored papers
and these papers will be enabled to
produce greater amount of news and
to fight the battles with greater cour-
age and thousands and thousands
who do not now read the papers will
begin subscribing to these papers, and
the 300 or more papers can be looked
to as champions of the cause of right
and of people who have exerted ef-
forts and sacrificed blood and lives for
the upbuilding of this country. When
such race pride dominates our people,
employment will be made for more and
more of our boys and girls.
Greensboro, N. G. A. LEE.
The Colorado statesman., 1917-01-20
(From the New York Age.)

There are over 300 Negro papers
published each week in the United
States. No one can deny the fact
that these papers must depend on the
white and colored business men for
advertisements to keep them on a run
ming basis. Why then, with the pro-
fessed race pride existing in the
breast of every colored business man,
are so many of them slow to advertise
in colored papers. The day has come
when the colored business man must
realize as the white man demonstrates,
there is little success without alver-
tising.
We feel that greater effort should
be brought to bear on the colored
business meh throughout the country
to induce them to advertise their busi-
ness more through the colored papers.
We admit that many of these business
men, when approached for advertise
ments, will state that the colored pa
pers do not reach the people as they
should. There never was a greater
mistake made than when this non-fact
is put before the public 1t makes no
difference how Indifferent a colored
man may be about subscribing for a
colored paper, he always picks up a
colored paper wherever he sees one
and reads it. These, of course, are
what we call parasites, gaining
knowledge and information of the race
at the expense of their fellowmen,
when dollar or two from their pock-
cts would help build this race. They
read the papers and naturally study
the advertisements and can talk to
you intelligently of them. 1t is use
less for any colored advertiser to say
they are not read by colored people.
Nor must it be forgotten that the
white people into whose hands these
papers fall also study them with care.
We would impress upon the colored
man who could use the colored papers
for advertising, the fact that we find
here and there colored man depend
ing on the colored public for his sup
port, expending $50 with white papers
while he expends probably $40 with
his colored brother. We will venture
to say that after all, the results Of ad-
vertising in the two papers would be
favorable to the colored paper SO far
as the colored patronage is concerned.
Some of our men like the idea of white
paper publicity, ignoring their own and
