THE STAR MUSICAL CROWDS
SHORTER—SOCIETY TURNS
OUT EN MASSE TO HEAR
ARTISTS.
Last Tuesday evening at Shorter
Chapel, a large and appreciative au
dience evidenced Denver’s approval
of a high class musical.
The participants were some of our
best musical talent, young people
who have given their time and ener
gy to studying music with the idea of
becoming artists in their several
branches. How well they have suc
ceeded was demonstrated by the mas
terly manner.in which they rendered
the various numbers. Mrs. Hudson,
who has been studying in old Mexi
co, rendered two selections of Span
ish type on the piano. Mrs. Hudson
was compelled to respond to encores.
The soprano soloists were Misses
Jessie Andrews and Jennie Mae
Hicks. Miss Andrews possesses a
rich soprano voice with wonderful
possibilities. Miss Hicks is of the
Jennie Lind style, possessing a re
sympathetic quality.
Mrs. Lillian Hawkins-Jones, our
favorite contralto, sang in her usual
captivating manner and Mr. Geo. Mor
rison, who it is always a delight to
hear, held his audience spell-bound
as he rendered Raff’s Cavatina.
It was Denver’s first opporunity to
hear Mr. Nollie Smith as a soloist.
Mr. Smith possesses a baritone voice
and he sang Petries’ "Out Where the
Billows Roll High” in a pleasing man
ner.
The audience was reluctant about
leaving when the last number on the
program was rendered and the young
artists received many well deserved
compliments. *

GOVERNOR FRANK B. WILLIS
BELIEVES IN HUMAN RIGHTS.
Ohio’s Chisf Executive Praises De
cision In "Grandfather Clause" Case.
Columbus. O.—Governor Frank B.
Willis of this state, who proved his
strong interest in the race by causing
to be revoked the state censor’s permit
given to the photo play "The Nigger**
to show in Ohio and his declaration
that another play of the kind, but far
more damaging to our race should not
be produced In Ohio has again won the
plaudits of the colored people in this
city and state by his splendid Indorse
ment of the federal supreme court’s
decision in the Oklahoma case.
So far he is the only state executive
who has expressed himself respecting
that decision. Wheu the decision was
rendered he promptly gave public ut
terance to the following:
"This decision of the United States
supreme court against the ‘grandfa
ther’ clause In the laws of Oklahoma
aud in the Maryland case is one of the
most important and farreaching in
years. It is a vindication of the prin
ciple that in this country a citizen's
worth is to he meusured by his own
merit and not by the qualifications of
his grandfather.
"The principle of the ‘grandfather’
cluuse was un-American, unfair and
altogether out of harmony with our
Institutions. The law* should encour
age every citizen without regard to
race or color to improve his own con
dition, not dampen aud kill his energy
and ambition by applying a rule of rec
ognition as arbitrary aud indefensible
as ever stained the pages of the his
tory of hereditary feudalism In the
dark ages.
"The fifteenth amendment meant
what it said when it proclaimed
that the right to vote should not be
denied on account of race, color or
previous condition of servitude. This
amendment does not prohibit a fair
educational qualification applicable to
all races alike, but It does prohibit an
unfair discrimination between ra£e*.
The decision of the supreme court will
be hailed with satisfaction by every
person wbo believes in a fair chance
for all.”

dered for his church and race bring
the Rev. Mr. Gaines prominently tn

tion in the gift of the A. M. E. denomi

ters in the A. M. K. church. He hua
been a delegate to the general confer
ence for a number of years and has
served on Important committees and
filled important positions in the gen
eral conference, lias rendered valuuble

ed for the entire race. He is well
trained, coming from Atlanta univer
sity, Atlanta, Ga., ami then from Gam
mon Theological seminary, Atlanta.

history of the race men of such keen
foresight are needed, and the African
Methodist church will recognize this
need In the promotion of the Itev. Dr.
A. L. Gaines.

been more liberal in contributions to
the schools. He has worked hard for
Wilberforce university, Klttrell college
and Morris Brown unlvenlty. Nor has
he overlooked Allen university, Paul
Quinn college and other Institutions of
his denomination.
Dr. Gnlnes Is an able advocate of tbe
cause of missions, and this has been
shown from each charge he has held
by tbe liberal contributions to the mis
sionary department. Whenever the
race has made a call he has responded
and cun be approached by his people In
every condition and stage of life, nis
home is open to his people. He has a
congenial wife, who Is ever ready to
render service.
