OLDEST MAN IN U. S. SUCCUMBS
AFTER SHORT ILLNESS.
Was 116 Years Old, and Lived in
Brooklyn over Half Century.

Brooklyn, N. Y, Nov. 23.-John w.
Johnson. an ex-slave, said by his
friends to have been the oldest man
in the United States, was buried on
Wednesday, Nov. IA, in st. Johns
cemetery. 1t is claimed he was 116
years old when he died on Monday,
Nov 12, in Kings county hospital Of
pneumonia.
He was known as Prophet John"
because of his predictions, which
were frequently borne out. Johnson
predicted the election of Judge Hy-
land for mayor of New York City, and
the day after caught severe cold and
was taken to the hospital. He rapid
ly developed pneumonia.
He lived for fifty years on Atlantic
avenue, near Schenectady avenue, and
is survived by one daughter, Carrie,
45, resident of ST. Dominic's home,
Montrose and Myrtle avenues. He
lived in Brooklyn fifty-six years.
Little Known of His Early Life.
His daughter, when interviewed,
claimed to know little of his early
life, or former associates. He was
born in slavery in South Carolina and
was foreman of a plantation gang.
His favorite "reminiscences concerned
two attempts to escape, both of which
failed.
The Colorado statesman., 1917-12-01
Recent Predictions.

Johnson prophesied the election of
President Wilson and declared shortly
before his death that the war would
still be in progress four years hence.
He predicted New York would have
Socialist governor, and that all the
allies except the United States would
have dropped out of the fight against
Germany.
His greatest ambition was to live
to be 125 years old; he wanted to see
his race put on an equality basis with
the Caucasian race. He said the Civil
war was fought for the preservation
of the nation, and the Negro came out
free man. And was sure the result
of the present conflict would wipe out
prejudice.

IDAHO SPRINGS NEWS.

A benefit performance for the Red
Cross was given at the Opera house
in Idaho Springs, Colo, on Thursday
night and drew forth an immense
crowd. The entertainment consisted
of an exceptionally good moving pic
ture and a well rendered concert by
some of the members of the squad
of colored soldiers that are on guard
duty here. Leroy Wins favored the
audience with number of solos,
which were heartily applauded, while
the quartet, which was composed of
James Eckols, Thos. Eckols, Leroy
Wins and Dan Strothers, won round
after round of applause with their
catchy and pleasing selections. The
members of the Idaho Springs Red
Cross organization are very grateful
to the soldier boys for their kindly
assistance and feel that it was large
ly through their help that they met
with SO much success. The money
will be used to purchase materials for
the garments that are made in the
Red Cross rooms.

TEST OF DEMOCRACY

I'VE are all of the same clay
and spirit, and we can get to-
getherif we desire to get togeth-
er. Therefore, my counsel to
you is this: Let us show our
selves Americans by showing
that we do not want to go off in
separate camps or groups by our
selves, but that we want to CO.
operate with all other classes and
all other groups in a common en-
terprise, which is to release the
spirit of the world from bondage.
| would be willing to set that up
as the final test of an American.
That is the meaning of democ-
racy." president Wilson in his
Buffalo speech, November IL,
1917.
The Colorado statesman., 1917-12-01
RACE PREJUDICE AND THE WAR
The New York World Predicts Revolution in
the Customs of American Race Prejudice
Will Be Brought About by the
Present War.

we can no longer dodge it. If the
war lasts two or three years longer
and we call hundreds of thousands of
Negroes into the ranks and commits
sion some thousands of Negro officers,
these men and officers will enjoy un-
der the flag an equality of status
which they have never enjoyed before
in many parts of the United States.
Can we deprive them of that status
when they are honorably mustered
out? That is the problem which those
of us who are most imbued with race
prejudice might as well begin to face
honestly.
The government is telling all Amer
leans that they have an equal stake
in the war. All are invited to put
their energies and resources into a
common pool. But if the enterprise
is common and the burdens are COM
mon, the glory must also be common.
Nationality, patriotism, unity - these
may be found to be the exorcisers of
race and color prejudice, itself only a
relic of that past with which we are
now breaking at SO many points with
an ease which only few years ago
torial in New York World.

MADAM S. j. WALKER COMPLETES
$250,OO0 MANSION AT IRV-
INGTON, NEW YORK.

AADAM SARAH ]. WALKER, ac-
M credited the worlds wealthiest
A'A Negress, and formerly resi-
dent of Denver, Colorado, has just
completed a home on the banks of the
Hudson, at Irvington, costing her
$250,000, exclusive of furniture and
fixtures. She is now moving from her
New York City home which cost $780,
900, having given same to her daugh-
ter as a present, to her mansion. This
palace completed after eight months of
work by large gang of men, contains
many wonders that vie with the resi-
dences of many of the nations finan-
ciers, and Is the finest building of its
kind in the neighborhood. The beau
tiful edifice is a three-story structure
and basement with roof of red tile in
the Italian Renaissance style of archi-
lecture, being 113. feet long and sixty
of a four and one-half acre plot. 1t is
fireproof and has thirty-four rooms.
In the basement are gymnasiums,
baths, kitchen and pantry, servants
dining room, power room for an or
gan and storage vaults for valuables.
The main entrance on the north
side leads to a marble room, whence
a marble stairway leads to the floor
above. On the first floor are the Ii
brary and conservatory. A living
room twenty-one by thirty-two feet,
furnished in Italian style, a Louis XIV
dining room with hand-painted cell
ing.
Adjoining two drawings rooms is an
$4,000 organ which may be played au-
tomatically or by hand The second
floor contains bedrooms, bathrooms,
showers, dressing rooms, sleeping
porches and rest rooms On the third
floor are servants quarters to accom-
modate eight servants. Plans for fur
nishing the house add many thousands
of dollars to the quarter of a million
expended in building this mansion.
From humble circumstances ana
poor surroundings, with a mental
depth that time has proven what this
wonderful woman possesses, another
lesson is given to the world that Ma
ture's claim to the climbing of Ambi-
tion's ladder knows no racial discrim-
ination /; and THE COLORADO
STATESMAN, out of the fullness
of it's admiration for such member
of our race offers its congratulations
over such an achievement, and its
best wishes for long life and happi-
ness with greater business success for
