TWENTY-SEVENTH YEAR Jim Crows Them By Federal Order. Washington, D. C.—An order has just been issued by the chief clerk of each of the State, War and Navy departments to the effect that colored men employed in these departments, beginning August 9, shall use during office hours only such toilets as are set aside for them. The order very clearly specifies certain lavatories for the use of white women, white men and colored men. The toilets assigned colored men happen to be similar to the others, but are located in the short corridors of each floor, while toilets for the use of white employees are situated at either end of each corridor. The three departments being under one roof have one superintendent of building, Col. Harts, U. S. Army He is the official who initiated this business and whose signature appears on the order. COL. HARTS RESPONSIBLE. During his incumbency as superintendent of building (also military aide to President Wilson) he has enacted "Jim Crowism" whenever an opportunity arose. His first act of oppression happened early in the year, when messengers were restricted to the use of certain elevators, and later the Colonel decreed that except during certain hours messengers cannot ride at all. This rule, while very unjust, still remains. Owing to the fact that there are quite a number of white messengers who were thereby affected, no protest was made and neither was any discrimination acknowledged when a subsequent order forbidding messengers to eat lunches in the corridors was issued. It is plainly visible now that these previous reforms were directed at the Negro, as the order issued to day is the most drastic that has ever been introduced here, not bar ring Mr. McMcAdoo's bold attempt to segregate in the Treasury Department. HAS INFLUENCE WITH THE PRESIDENT. In the State, War and Navy departments there are scores of white messengers and white laborers who, by this order, are permitted to use the most convenient lavatory, while a Negro, recognized by the Civil Service, is compelled to walk a block past a place of supposedly "public convenience." Col. Harts also has the titled of Superintendent of Public Buildings and Grounds, and has considerable influence with the heads of departments because of his proximity to the President, and seems to be able to put anything over The Denver Star ESTABLISHED 1888 Holyoke, Mass.—Another industrial opportunity for the Negro artisan is opened here in one of the largest establishments in this town and one of the biggest machinery plants in the country. Skilled men, familiar with the work in pattern shops, machine shops and foundry will be employed at wages ranging from $2.75 to $4 per day, and there will be opportunity to advance as high as $6 per day or more. Holyoke is a town of about 63,000 population and there are only about ten colored families in that number. The corporation which is now of fering this opportunity to the Negro machinist employs a bout 800 men, and of this num ber only two are colored. They have been with the company some four or five years, however, and not only is their work satisfactory to their employers, but the treatment received makes them perfectly satisfied. Living cnoditions in Holyoke are good. The families here at this time are pleasantly and comfortably situated and are on the most friendly terms with their neighbors. Holyoke is a great manufacturing center, the paper industry being the dominating industrial factor. There is an ample supply of work at good wages and will mean much to the Negro laborer and artisan. on the "blackman." This last order of his affects about four hundred colored employees, among which are about clerks. The disgraceful thing about it is that white laborers and white messengers are (by virtue of this order) given to understand that they are above the application of same simply because of the complexion of their skin HUMILIATING CONDITIONS. The present condition, tho youthful in age, is already very humiliating to men who would believe that they are citizens of the United States. During the preparedness parade held here in June some person circulated printed cards all over town, signed "Justice" with these words: "The American Negro watch him. First in war, first in peace, and last in the preparedness parade." Compare this verse with verse with conditions which have existed in the past two months. namely: Bringing up the rear of the preparedness parade by Negroes; Slaughtering sacrifice made made at Carrazal; 'Lynching of innocent Negroes in the South; Recent introduction of Jim Crowism in State, War and Navy departments; and it will be agreed that the writer of the card referred to gave a most felicitous and concise expression of facts. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, SEPT. 9, 1916 COLORED MEN FIRED WHOLE SALE BY DEMOCRATIC ADMINISTRATION. Get Aboard--Now or Never Nicholson or Nothing Never Were Colored Voters So United On Any Candidate. Washington,—Among the numerous other particulars in which his preaching has differed from his practice, President Wilson can point to his record in the matter of race discrimination. In his speech at Independence hall, Philadelphia, July 4, 1914, President Wilson said that we make no difference between one race and another, and that we did not set up any barriers against any particular people. We are now at the end of our primary campaign for the nominating of Mr. Nicholson for Governor. We have done all we could to get him nominated by informing the people of his qualities and qualifications for the office. When Mr. Nicholson, after declaring that he wore no man's collar and against that infamous beer amendment, "If my opponent wins in the primary, I will support him. And while we are on the subject, I would like to know if he is as good a Republican as I profess to be—and will prove it by throwing his support in my behalf in case I am the party choice? His opponent, Mr. Carlson whom the Anti-Saloon League is supporting against Mr. Nicholson, has not said once publicly that "I will take my defeat manfully and bow to the wishes of the party." On other occasions, particularly while he was a candidate for the presidency, he gave assurances that he would not discriminate against Colored citizens of the United States. Notwithstanding these assurances of support of the equality before the law and in governmental affairs, great discrimination has been practiced not only in the departments over which the president has indirect control but also in appointments that are made by the president himself. Under Republican administrations the policy was pursued of appointing a Colored man to fill a vacancy created by the resignation, death or expiration of term of a man of that race. This policy was reversed by the following Colored persons have been succeeded by white men: Sam D. Nicholson became a giant in the eyes of the true Coloradoans because of his willing self-submission. He was defeated two years ago and supported the ticket. By his actions he is a bigger man than the governorship, and in these times there is a great demand for men bigger than the position they fill. The reputation of Mr. Nicholson as a respected citizen, anupbuilder in business, mining and along educational lines, as well as an advocate of advancement along material lines, has, not only won among his first while chilly admirers and their friends but has also indelibly stamped a favorable impression upon some of the preachers of the gospel who now implicitly believe in him and his ability to carry out his temperance program. His record as Mayor in Leadville has helped to substantiate many assertions as to his honesty and integrity as a public man and progressive citizen, as well as to dispel doubts concerning his genuine manhood. The Star believes in, and therefore supports the Hon. Chas. E. Hughes for the Presidency. We are supporting Sam D. Nicholson for Governor because he has, can and will make good. William H. Lewis assistant attorney general $5,000; J. C. Napier, register of the treasury, $4,000; Charles W. Anderson, collector internal revenue, New York, $4,500: Henry Lincoln Johnson, recorder of deeds, $4,500: Ralph W. Tyler, auditor for navy department, $4000; C. F. Adams, assistant register of the treasury, $2,500: Joseph E. Lee, collector of internal revenue, Jacksonville, $4,500; N. W. Alexander, register of the land office, $2,500; J. E.

McAllister, receiver of public monies, Jackson, Miss., $2,500: Robert Smalls, collect or of Port, Beaufort, S. C. $1,500; James A. Cobb special assistant district attorney, Washington, D. C. $2,000. We are supporting Wm. Dickson for U. S. Congressman, because we believe he will represent all the people. We are supporting John W. Gillespie for District Attorney, because he is fearless, capable and honest, and stands for human rights. James C. Starkweather, William M. Robertson and Leon Hattenback are our candidates for State Senators. The Star asks that you support the above friends. Because Mr. Nicholson has kept his hands clean all the way thru, the thinking citizens are going to vote for him. Nicholson for Governor is the common talk of all the sensible and trustworthy people. If he can win the primary battle, it means a strong, clean nominee, able to win in November for the Republican party. He knows how to dig, push, boost and make things move. He is a man close to the masses whose friends among the hills are legionic. A true friend to everyone regardless as to race and color. One of the Negroe's demands is for an opportunity to make good and when they have made good to be given the proper promotion. This same feeling the race has for public officials. Mr. Nicholson is a high class citizen, the exceptional kind that have always assisted and found time and opportunity to encourage and give our churches and charitable organizations. Diplomatic and Consular Service—Henry W. Furniss, envy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary at Port au Prince, Hayti, $10,000; George H. Jackson, consul, Cognac, France, $2,500; Jas. W. Johnson, consul, Corinto, Nicarauga, $3,000. He has always had a Negro employed at his banks for years. He puts a premium upon the better class of Negroes, as he did, when he so thoughtfully fitted out the Negro Woman's Republican Club, treating all clubs alike in organization as well as in the representation in our recent Hughes reception. He has respect for the desires of his Colored constituents, the same as any other set or race of people. For years he stood the test in his friendship to our race, and now he is in a contest with one who has almost always been a dismal failure in fairness and with frankness to our men and 7000 women whom he ignored. Let us Rally and vote for Sam D. Nicholson. Colored Civil Service Employes, Pension Office—R. D. Venning, 2107 Fitzwater St., Philadelphia, Pa.; W. A. Robinson, now practicing law, Chicago, Ill.; W.

TURNS LIGHT ON BOURBON SOUTH. No stronger light could be turned on the bourbon South, the gross injustice existing there from a political point of view, than the appended letter received by the Amsterdam News from Hon. Joseph C. Manning, of Birmingham, Ala.. who has been touring the North for some years trying to expose this condition. Mr. Manning is a former member of the Alabama legis lature and former postmaster of Alexander City. In his letter he says: "Senator Tillman, of South Carolina, is reported to have wept while in a speech last week in the Senate. He deplored the sectionalism of Mr. Hughes in referring to the domination of the Southern democracy of the general government. "Is it sectional to state that while there are 165,769 white and 335,046 black male citizens of voting age in South Carolina that this State polled 48,356 votes for Wilson? Is it sectional to state that never congressmen are elected on a like vote? "Alabama elected Senator Underwood on 63,000 votes. This State has 200,000 black and 300,000 white male citizens of voting age. Iowa, a State having about equal the population of Alabama, elected Senator Cummings on a vote of 205,832, while the vote for all candidates totaled 427, 102. The vote for all candidates in Alabama was 81,133 "The reason for the condition in Alabama is that laws are passed to prohibit a fair ballot and in Iowa all citizens may vote and have their votes counted as they are cast. In Alabama, as in South Caolina, there is a political repression by a political party In Iowa there is political free dom. "It is not sectionalism to recite fact. "There were those who cried sectionalism when slavery was attacked. "This issue is up to Mr. Hughes and he should not onl y talk of sectional domina tion of the government by the Southern democracy, but he should show how and why this oligarchy is in the saddle in the South as well as ruling the entire American people. "The friends of human rights ought to see to it that this issue is heard and that these wrongs be corrected. It is not enough that this regime be overthrown at Washington. Their political deviltry ought to stop in the South. JOSEPH C. MANNING." Washington City Postoffice —W. L. D. Wilkinson, 1716 P street N. W., W. Shippen, 17 35 10th steei N.

Our Sunday school, under the leadership of Brother King and Sisters Brown and Wade, not only made a fine showing in the city-wide auto parade last Saturday, but two of the pupils were awarded prizes from the foot races, Fred Polk and Andrew Tilden. After all, the Negro is just like other folks, when given a square deal some Negro will give a good account of himself. The Labor Day dinner and play in the evening were successes, for which Mesdames Early, Byrd, King, Obryant and their committees were largely responsible. Our pastor had word of the safe arrival in Pensacola, Fla., of Mrs. Pope and her mother, however, Mrs. Crane continues critically ill.

The assertion that the colored people have a racial tendency toward tuberculosis was denied by Dr. Charles H. Lewis of Philadelphia, who in a recent address said: "The alarming spread of this disease among the colored people is due entirely to the fact that they are compelled through economic conditions to live in houses which are poorly ventilated and very insanitary," said Dr. Lewis. "We have done much in Philadelphia to curb the spread of tuberculosis, and it has been done solely by educating the members of our race in the fact that their surroundings must be healthful."

The success of the Piney Woods Country Life school at Braxton, Miss., since its organization six years ago has been most remarkable. The school was started under a pine tree in 1909 by Laurence C. Jones of Iowa. Young Jones had no money with which to carry on the work, but he did have faith in the good people of Mississippi and elsewhere who believed in giving the colored children a chance to get an education. With an abundance of pluck, energy and persistence Professor Jones, who is a graduate of the Marshalltown (la.) high school (1903) and of the University of Iowa (1907), threw himself into the work of securing friends and money. His task at the beginning was a hard one, but he stuck to his guns until he secured enough money to provide a small schoolroom. He continued his campaign for funds until the school was well enough equipped to meet the needs of the community at that time. Starting with no means six years ago, the little school has grown into a large, thrifty institution, free of debt. The plant consists of 534 acres of land, three large buildings and several smaller ones, 200 students and nine teachers. Your Credit Is Good WITH THE KORTZ JEWELRY CO.

To The Denver Star: After reading the article in the Denver Star, Save Our Friend, being a subscriber, I believe the Star to be just, and conscientious in endorsing any candidate to the Negro voters, and have nearly always followed your judgment in that matter. Happening to personally know Mr. Wm. H. Dickson and have felt his injustice to the Negro, I feel it a cowardly crime, an injustice to myself, and the race, to keep my peace at this time, and allow my people to rush him into Congress without first letting you know the injustice I received through his prejudice and influence as an opposing Attorney. Mr. Dickson, in asking for our vote, mentions something he had done when he was Attorney-General, where in he says, "A friend in need is a friend indeed." In the case of Josephine Brown (White), vs. Matilda Andrews, (Negro) No. 58095, Div. 1, in the District Court, in which Judge Geo. W. Allen, the candidate for Supreme Court Justice was sitting. I. Matilda Andrews, (Negro), had nursed, cared for and sheltered Mrs. Brown during an illness, wherein Mrs. Brown deeded certain real estate as a consideration for my services and kindness. Mr. Dickson considered a friend in need from a Negro, to a White woman was not a friend indeed, but was fraud and deceit and said, "A Coon would not receive justice in court." This friend to the Colored people in an effort to excite feeling between my White neighbors and myself said, "I am your friend, would you go against a White woman for a Coon?", "Do you want a Coon to run your neighborhood?" "Say something to help me out." After his partner had made a house to house canvass among my White neighbors, on one trip bringing his wife at night, in an endeavor to secure White witnesses. Mr. Dickson being provoked at the Whites refusing, said, "What is the matter with you White people, are you afraid of the Coon?" Unable to find one White neighbor to help, wherein they knew all about the matter but had too much respect for themselves and the truth. He at last resorted to two Colored women, who were only too willing to help at any sacrifice. Mr. Dickson may say Judge Allen had the deciding of the case; that is true, but Mr. Dickson had the influence and Judge Allen does not claim to be our friend, he isn't trying to deceive us to get our vote. Now, Mr. Dickson says, "If you appreciate what I have done for you when I was Attorney-General, get your friends together with yourselves and vote for me in the primaries." But I say if you want a man with all the prejudice and hatred that a man can have, with no respect for justice for the Negro, get your friends together with yourselves and vote for Wm. H. Dickson, he is the man for Congress regardless of Safety First.

MINISTER WRITES COMPLETE DRAMA RECALLS CIVIL WAR SCENES Promoters of Interesting Play Take Name of Frederick Douglass, Whose Labors For the Freedom of His Race Bridged Two Continents—Story of Love and Romance. The story entitled "The Colored American Winning His Suit" is the first and only drama of its kind written, directed and played by colored people in the United States. It portrays the progress of the race in its rise from the depths of poverty and ignorance to remarkable heights of prosperity and education. The author of the story is the Rev. Dr. W. S. Smith, pastor of the Monumental Baptist church, Jersey City, N. J. The promoters are known as the Frederick Douglass Film company, so named in honor of Frederick Douglass, the great abolition orator and statesman who fought for the freedom of the colored race in America from slavery. The story of the play in brief sets forth in part that at the close of the civil war Bob Winall's father and mother found themselves free, but CINEMA REV. DR. W. S. SMITH. poverty stricken. Bob's father, full of determination, was not to be daunted and begin his life of freedom by renting a farm from his former master, remaining in the same log cabin in which freedom found him. Later on, humble though his home, two children—Bob and Bessie—came to bless it. The family prospered, and years later Bob's father bought his former master's homestead from the son, and thus became the owner of the estate on which be once lived as a slave. Desiring to give his children a good education, he sends his daughter, Bessie, to Spellman seminary, Atlanta, Ga., and his son, Bob, to Howard university, Washington. Four years later Robert Winnall returns to his home at Overway, Va., from the law department of Howard university. A few days later his sister, Bessie, comes home from Spellman seminary at Atlanta. She brings her class and roommate, Miss Alma Elton, as vacation guest, both having just graduated. Bob falls in love with Alma at first sight. He had heard much of Alma through Bessie. Bob, Bessie and Alma spend their vacation happily, talking over their future plans, riding out, and entertaining friends. In the meantime, Bob and Alma become engaged, and he gives her the ring. Alma's parents write her to come home to take charge as principal and teacher of the high school. Alma leaves for home. A home coming reception is held in the Elton home for her, to which a much talked of young man was invited, namely, James Sample. He was the son of a wealthy cotton farmer and had gone to Upton as a contractor and builder. Without Alma's knowledge, her parents had selected him as a fit man for a son-in-law. Jim, the contractor and builder, aided by Alma's parents makes every effort to win her love. Bob writes Alma that he has decided to come to Upton to practice law. At the dictation of her mother, she writes Bob not to come, stating that she did not think it a good place to build up a law practice. Bob surmised that Alma's love for him had grown cold, and he determined to go and rekindle the flames of love. Bob goes to Upton, finds a place for his office. A day or so later Alma and the contractor pass that way. She is surprised to see a new sign that reads, "Robert Winnall, Attorney-at-Law." Bob called to see Alma three or four times and learned why she wrote him as she did. They quarrel and make up. But the rich contractor, Jim Sample, continues pleading at the bar of Alma's heart, aided by her parents, who were continually holding before her eyes the dazzling light of his wealth in comparison to the poverty of Bob, the lawyer. At last Alma tells Bob that she loves him still, but her parents have educated her, and she wishes to be obedient to them. So she returns the engagement ring. Alma's father is in the express business. He is the rival of one Mr. Hinderus, who at one time had all of the express business of Upton. One day while Elton's men were making deliveries a small box containing a $1,000 necklace fell out of the wagon and was found by little children on the street, who did not know its value. They put it on their doll. A day or so later Elton's men were arrested, accused of the theft. Elton was out of town. Mr. Hinderus had the men released so as to get the theft upon Elton. He arouses suspicion that Elton knows where the necklace is. He talked with the lawyers on the matter and persuaded them not to take Elton's case. Bob was not considered. A warrant was issued for Elton's arrest. Detectives were watching his house and office. Alma and her mother were much worked up over the situation. They sought to counsel with the different lawyers, but they refused to take the case. As a last resort Mrs. Elton goes to Bob. He takes the case, saying, "We must have a bondsman." Mrs. Elton tells Bob that her husband and Colonel Goodwill are lifelong friends. Colonel Goodwill is the richest man in town. He had helped Elton to get his start in business. Bob goes to see the colonel, who said, "Yes, I will go Elton's bond and take the stand for him and testify to his good character." Elton returns to Upton, is arrested on the street and brought into court. Bob and the colonel appear and fix the bail. Bob gets the colonel to offer a reward for the lost necklace. In the meantime Bob learned that the necklace had been found by children who were playing in the street, and he sent a detective to bring them and the necklace to the court on the day of the trial. The grand jury had indicted Elton. The case was called. Colonel Goodwill appeared for Elton. Bob made a strong plea, and in the nick of time the detective with the children and necklace came into court while Elton stood at the bar. The judge dismissed the case. Bob had won all. A few days later Bob and Alma stood before the minister who made them one and who said, "Mr. Winall, you have proved your right to the name you bear." Bob and Alma are last seen standing in loving embrace. Bob's first suit in court and courtship was won. He had won all. Dr. Smith was greatly aided in his manuscript work by Dr. George E. Cannon, Mr. Walter E. Carter and others. BELIEVES IN EQUAL CHANCE Discrimination Against Colored Chauffeurs Called Rank Injustice. A patron of the Brooklyn Daily Eagle expresses the following liberal and favorable sentiment for the colored chauffeur in a recent letter to the Eagle: In reading the communication in your paper today I was attracted by the one signed "L. J. W." on "The Colored Chauffeur." I am greatly interested in the progress and welfare of the Negro. Last winter I got into conversation with one of them, and in the course of our talk he informed me of just what your correspondent "L. J. W." had written—the discrimination practiced against Negroes at suburban hotels. It was his opinion that the chief source of this opposition came from white chauffeurs, who did what they could to prejudice the proprietors of country inns against Negro drivers. He said that it was the belief of large numbers of white chauffeurs that the Negro chauffeur worked cheaper than they and, besides, was compelled to do chores around the house. So it appears to me that the desire to eliminate the Negro as a chauffeur springs from an economic reason. Nevertheless I consider it a rank injustice that efficient and respectable Negroes should be driven from their means of livelihood. Young Odd Fellows' First Anniversary.

ROSS, Associate Editor PHONE CHAMPA 2962 1026 Nineteenth Street, Denver, Colorado SUBSCRIPTION RATES: A Bill for an Ordinance to Preserve Peace and Order Within the City and County of Denver and to Promote the General Welfare by Segregating the White and Black Races to a Limited Extent. Be It Enacted by the Council of the City and County of Denver: 1. It shall be unlawful for any colored person to move into and occupy as a residence or place of abode any house or building upon any block within the City and County of Denver, State of Colorado, upon which a greater number of houses occupied as residences are occupied exclusively by people of the white race. The prohibition in this paragraph above contained shall extend and apply to any colored person who moves into any house or building on a block such as is mentioned above for the purpose of occupying rooms or lodgings either transiently, temporarily or permanently, no matter whether such house or building is already occupied by persons of the colored race or by persons of the white race at the time such colored person moves into the same. 2. It shall be unlawful for any white person to move into and occupy as a residence or place of abode any house or building upon any block within the City and County of Denver, State of Colorado, upon which a greater number of houses occupied as residences are occupied exclusively by people of the colored race. The prohibition in this paragraph above contained shall extend and apply to any white person who moves into any house or building on a block such as is mentioned above for the purpose of occupying rooms or lodgings either transiently, temporarily or permanently, no matter whether such house or building is already occupied by persons of the white race or by persons of the colored race at the time such white person moves into the same. 3. The word "block" as used in this ordinance shall be construed to mean any portion of ground entirely surrounded by public streets, which term, "streets," shall not be construed to mean or include alleys. 4. The words "colored person" and "people of the colored race" as used in this ordinance shall be construed to mean any person of Negro or Ethiopian descent of any degree, however small or however remote the Negro or Ethiopian ancestor may be. (Ex-post facto distinction as standard—Ed.) 5. The words "white person" and "people of the white race" as used in this ordinance shall be construed to mean persons of Caucasian descent of the full blood. 8. The purpose of this ordinance is to preserve peace and order within the City and County of Denver by preventing white persons and colored persons, so far as practicable, from residing in the same block, but it shall not be construed to forbid any person from acquiring and holding the title to real estate anywhere within said City and County. The invalidity of any section, sentence, clause or provision of this ordinance shall not affect the validity of any other portion which can be given effect without such invalid part. The Star says this ordinance is unconstitutional: (1) Because it is unreasonable, arbitrary and oppressive, each regulations violate our Bill of Rights, Sec. 3, providing that the certain natural, essential and inallenable rights, among those of enjoying and defending their lives and liberties, of acquiring and protecting property and of seeking and obtaining their happiness. It violates Sec. 15 and Sec. 25, which provides that shall be deprived of life, liberty or property without due process, 47, 48, 54, 55 and 60, Colo., Moffitt vs. City of Pueblo, 133 Paclinson vs. Cooke, 130 Pac. 829. (2) Because the ordinance picks out a class and then discriminates those people of a particular class engaged in the same line of acquiring certain people who compete with the burdened class, members of the same class in the same race. (Servants and those adding additional burdens upon those who are not servants. Under this proposed ordinance, under the guise of public pea- (1) Because it is unreasonable, arbitrary and oppressive, especially as such regulations violate our Bill of Rights, Sec. 3, providing that all persons have certain natural, essential and inalienable rights, among which are those of enjoying and defending their lives and liberties, of acquiring, possessing and protecting property and of seeking and obtaining their safety and happiness. It violates Sec. 15 and Sec. 25, which provides that no person shall be deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law, 46, 47, 48, 54, 55 and 60, Colo., Moffitt vs. City of Pueblo, 133 Pac. 754; and Willison vs. Cooke, 130 Pac. 829. (2) Because the ordinance picks out a class and then discriminates between those people of a particular class engaged in the same line of business, excepting certain people who compete with the burdened class, and between members of the same class in the same race. (Servants and those not servants adding additional burdens upon those who are not servants.) Under this proposed ordinance, under the guise of public peace and security, Negro lawyers are forbidden to have offices in down town business places; so are doctors, newspapers and drug stores, as well as Negroes could not go to jail, hospitals nor charitable institutions, no matter whether public or private, nor how urgent, it would be a crime to try to break or destroy prejudice which was legalized into law. It would be a crime for Negroes to move and occupy, etc., residences, temporarily, transiently or permanently, is a lawful act, regardless as to the neighborhood. To make then a lawful act unlawful because of race or color is an arbitrary, unfair and oppressive action. There is no more unlawfulness in Negroes moving into and occupying places where there are a greater number of whites, than where there are a greater number of blacks, red or yellow people, neither a greater number of Irish, Germans or Italians, Methodists, Baptists, Catholics or Protestants. It should never be a crime for Negroes to move and occupy any place, which was no crime to move and occupy before ordinance was passed. Negro nurses could not stay with white children who lived next door to them; nor could a Negro visitor ever be received at the home of another Negro. Janitors, chauffeurs and cartakers who take care of two apartment buildings, etc., could not reside in any one of them because of the presence of a greater number of whites. Servant girls could not stay all night with a friend next door. Rights of sick thru accident or otherwise who need hospital care and attention are taken away. The Slav, Greek, Italian and Persian can come in our district, or white district, with their business and compete with the Negro, who is burdened with extra fare and room rent and longer hours. The Star wants to know what is unlawful, the neighborhood into which Negroes move, or is it the moving and entering, or is it the associating of the races or the close proximity of the races, that makes it unlawful? Besides the extra expense in changing the public records, the un- certainty for lawyers who examine and pass titles of realty, and hastly, if three separate lots, 1, 2 and 3, are owned by white and colored, two lots, 1 and 3, are owned by white, and if No. 2, which is owned by colored, desires to sell to another Negro, he could sell but the Negro purchaser could not live in his own house nor rent it, and would thus be deprived of his rightful use of his own property, arbitrarily and unreasonably, because of his color. Segregation is a punishment and you only punish for crime. Segregation deprives the Negro of municipal protection; sanitary laws are not enforced with due regard for their health; the money that they pay for taxes is usurped for the benefit of white communities; their streets are unpaved and in case of fire their apparatus cannot reach the fire. Segregation legalizes prejudice and makes it a crime for Negroes to fight it. Therefore, because this proposed ordinance is oppressive and does not act alike upon all the restricted class, we say it is unconstitutional. The graft in the bill is shown here when these complainants run down property less valuable in Negro districts or in any class section would jump in prices of rentals and sale. A $50 lot would sell for $200, a $10 house would rent for $25, and the already burdened Negro would have to pay for the white's prejudice. It is too unfair. FOR GOVERNOR, SAM. D. NICHOLSON. Colorado is a fortunate state inasmuch as she has seldom had a misfit in the governor's chair and the people as a whole are to be congratulated for they are directly responsible for the class of men put into office. We are on the eve of another election to fill this and other important offices in the city, state and government, and it is extremely important that only the candidate who is best qualified be sent to represent us. Sam D. Nicholson's announcement that he would be a candidate for the Republican nomination for governor was hailed with joy by everyone interested in having the affairs of state managed in a business-like way by a man whose past record has proven his worth and fitness for the high office. This captain of industry is a strong advocate of progressive legislation, has plenty of initiative, is not the tool of any ring or clique, and stands first, last and all the time for the right. There is little doubt but that he will secure the nomination at the primaries, to be held September 12; after that there will be nothing left but the shouting. It is well to know in casting your vote that it is given to a friend who will guard your interests as zealously as he would his own and we, above all people, need a friend at court. We may need his support later, he needs ours now; let us give it to him with a royal good will. y The Star is told that Mr. Vickroy in District C has been organizing District C for Carlson and is leaving no stone unturned to win out and be a big man, even if Carlson loses. It is up to the Negroes to see that Vickroy is snowed under as badly as was his master, Niset. Nicholson must carry Denver. Get busy, everybody. The Star charges that the Booth-Niset-Carlson forces are behind that segregation bill to punish the Negroes for independently voting. NICHOLSON, OUR SALVATION. The Star was in the segregation fight Thursday and we saw many people there who supported Nisbet, and immediately we saw that these same people—so-called Republicans—are for Carlson and the Star charges that because we and the Negroes supported Speer, that these Booth-Nisbet-Carlson forces are trying to drive and keep us in line. You know Carlson helped Nisbet, whom he knew insulted us. Your only way out is to go down the line strong for Nicholson and thus kill Jim Crowism. You must defeat Carlson. STAND BY YOUR GUNS—MAKE AND KEEP FRIENDS. Support Dr. Wm. M. Robertson. It is with the greatest pleasure that we introduce to some of our readers our lifelong friend, Dr. Wm. M. Robertson, who for 35 years has lived in Denver and who in that length of time has served this community well. He lives at 946 Eleventh St. and enjoys the respect and hearty cooperation of his fellow citizens. He has served as Health Commissioner for two years, and four years as Supervisor, while in 1905-7 we enjoyed his efforts serving as a Senator. Dr. Robertson is a true blue Republican, a genuine G. A. R. veteran, a man easy of approach and fair and just to all. He stands square on all human problems, giving all a square deal, and it is for that reason that the Star recommends him to you. We need friends in the Senate. See that the Doctor is on your list. NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC! ANOTHER INCREASE IN PAPER. ADVERTISING RATES IN CREASE. Owing to the steady increase in paper stock, The Star has been compelled to increase its advertising rates of the paper to take effect on and after August 1st, 1916.

LONG RECORD OF SERVICE Commander of a Squadron of His Regiment In General Pershing's Expedition In Mexico — Reaches Highest Rank Ever Attained by Any Colored Man In United States Army. Mayor Charles Young, the commanding officer of a squadron of the Tenth cavalry in General Pershing's expedition in Mexico, has received many high compliments from army officials and private citizens since his recent promotion to the rank of lieutenant colo- JUAN MAYORAL LIEUTENANT COLONEL CHARLES YOUNG. nel in the United States army. His long and honorable record as a soldier forms a most interesting chapter in American military history. By his promotion he has attained to the highest rank in the regular army of any member of the colored race in the United States. Lieutenant Colonel Young is a graduate of the Military academy at West Point, having finished with the class of 1889. Colonel Young, however, is not the only colored man who has graduated from West Point. Henry D. Flipper and John H. Alexander were graduated from West Point several years previous to Colonel Young's entrance into the military service of the government. Henry D. Flipper graduated with the class of 1877 and was assigned as second lieutenant in the now famous Tenth cavalry. John Alexander graduated with the class of 1887 and rose to the rank of second lieutenant in the Ninth cavalry. Lieutenant Alexander died in 1894. There are nine other colored men who are commissioned officers in the United States army, two being line officers. These officers are Chaplains Washington W. E. Gladden, Twenty-fourth infantry; George W. Priolean, Twenty-fifth infantry, and Oscar J. W. Scott, Tenth cavalry, who have the relative rank of captains, and Chaplain Louis A. Carter, Ninth cavalry, with the relative rank of first lieutenant; Chaplains Theophilus G. Steward and William T. Anderson, retired; Major John R. Lynch, retired; Captain Benjamin O. Davis, cavalry, and Captain John E. Green, infantry. Chaplain Steward has the relative rank of captain and Chaplain Anderson that of major. Major Lynch is a former officer of the navy department. Captain Davis and Captain Green both received their commissions through competitive examination. Captain Davis was a first lieutenant in the Eighth United States volunteer infantry from July, 1898, until March, 1899, and the following June enlisted in the Ninth cavalry. He underwent the examination for second lieutenant and was appointed in May, 1901, being assigned to the Tenth cavalry. Captain Benjamin O. Davis is serving as professor of military science and tactics at Wilberforce university. Wilberforce, O. Captain Green also served in the ranks in the army, enlisting in the Twenty-fourth infantry in April, 1890. He was commissioned a second lieutenant in the Twenty-fifth infantry in 1901. Captain Green is serving as military attack to Liberia, where he succeeded Major Young, who is now a lieutenant colonel.

Starkweather, who has been designated by the Republican Assembly as one of its candidates for the State Senate to be voted upon at the Primary Election on September 12th, is one of the best-known attorneys in Denver. He resides at 238 South Lincoln street and his law offices are at 337-338 Majestic building. While actively engaged for the past twenty years in the practice of his profession, he has always taken a lively interest in public affairs. A zealous Republican, he is the president of the South Side Hughes-Fairbanks Republican Club. He was born at Pawtucket, Rhode Island, and is a institution which numbers among its alumni Charles Evans Hughes, the Republican candidate for the presidency. He is a member of Union Lodge No. 7, A. F., A. M., and has been president of the Colorado Society, Sons of the Revolution. Mr. Starkweather has always been a staunch, firm and uncompromising friend of the colored race and the Star is urging you to support him at the primaries. We believe in him and want you to do likewise. The Star believes in speaking out for men who are our friends. We like election advertisement, it is good, but we believe in our friends and are not afraid to speak out like some newspapers are. What's the use of being a coward? Mr. Voter, is it wise, or good business judgment, to elect or nominate a man for any position when you know he is physically and mentally handicapped? Then why try to do it? If nominated and elected, somebody else would have to do the job. O how many injustices are done in the name of "law enforcement"? Let us be square and fair. Why don't the Carlson Negroes show their heads and let the public know where they stand? Watch after the primary and see how brave and active and important these silent people will be.

FOLEY FOR ATTORNEY Sept. 12, 1916 FOR Robertson ATE FOR ENATOR Sept. 12, 1916 MISS CATHERINE LEALTAD Secretary of Prohibition National Convention Committee, St. Paul, Minn., Who Will Shortly Resign to Engage In Educational Work as a Teacher at the State Normal School, Jefferson City, Mo. A St. Paul, Minn.—The large number of young men and women, graduates of the various high schools and colleges who are making good in business and the professions, is one of the most important signs of racial advancement. The importance of well trained leaders among our people cannot be too forcibly urged when one considers the many thousands of our young folks who are deprived of even a common school education. In this connection it is gratifying to note the desire of Miss Catherine Lealtad of this city to further prepare herself to be of greater service to the race as a social service worker. Miss Lealtad is the daughter of the Rev. Mr. Lealtad, who is the minister of the Anglican church in this city. She graduated with honors from the McAllister college here in 1914. She is ambitious, studious and persistent and has a fixed aim in life toward which she directs her energies. For sometime Miss Lealtad has been the efficient secretary for the Prohibition national convention committee with headquarters in this city. In order to broaden her views and gain larger experience for her life's work Miss Lealtad will shortly resign her position with the prohibition committee to take up educational work as a teacher in the state Normal school at Jefferson City, Mo. While teaching she will also take a course of study in social service, a line of work in which she will engage in later with special reference to prohibition among our people. Successful Tag Day at the Davis Home The Davis Home and Day Nursery in Pittsburgh gave a reception to the workers who assisted in the tag day collection at the Sharon Baptist church on Friday, Aug. 18.

PLANTERS SOLVE LABOR PROBLEM PLANTERS SOLVE LABOR PROBLEM Hundreds of Colored Men at Work on Tobacco Farms. NEW INDUSTRIAL OPENING. Economic Status of Our Race Greatly Enhanced by Fair Attitude of Thrifty New England Cultivators—National Urban League Takes Initiative In Supplying Necessary Help. By LESTER A. WALTON Hartford, Conn.—It was the dawn of spring. All nature seemed to smile. But not the semblance of a smile decorated the countenances of the Hartford tobacco growers, usually a most jovial and affable lot, who were plunged in deep gloom. They had assembled to discuss the unprecedented labor shortage, which threatened to paralyze the tobacco growing industry of the Connecticut river and Farmington river valleys and just at a time when a most profitable season was in prospect. All agreed that planters of shade grown tobacco would sustain a loss running into the millions unless something was done at once to replace foreign labor, which had left the tobacco fields in large numbers, having been lured to the mumition plants throughout New England by the promise of larger wages. In the midst of the doleful proceedings M. L. Floyd, born and raised in the southland, but who has lived in the north for many years, abruptly arose and loudly exclaimed, "Gentlemen of the Connecticut Leaf Tobacco association, I think I have the key to the situation—the employment of Negro labor." First Skeptical About Negro Labor. This suggestion did not meet with a ready and enthusiastic response, as Negro help had never been used on the tobacco plantations of New England. Many of the planters were skeptical as to the outcome of such an experiment. But so persistent was the originator of the plan in his pro-Negro arguments that one by one his associates became converted. Thus was born, right in the heart of Yankeeeland, the first significant move to supplant foreign labor with native labor, a step which has resulted in one of the biggest industrial upheavals in the north incident to the European war, which already has been a great boon to the colored American, improving his economic status and putting thousands of dollars into his pocket. When boiled down to a matter of dollars and cents, the substitution of Negro labor for foreign labor by the members of the Connecticut Leaf Tobacco association means that the race will be richer by nearly $150,000 this year and that more than $300,000 will be made by Negro labor in the Hartford tobacco fields next season. Prominent Men Guests of Planters. Heretofore the railroads, steamers and hotels have furnished the ambitious colored college student opportunities to make his tuition and expense money during the vacation months, and now another avenue of endeavor has been opened to him—the northern tobacco fields. Hundreds of students are taking advantage of this new industrial opening, $72,000 going to Negro education this summer. Not until recently did I know that in New England more tobacco was grown and on a scientific scale than anywhere in the United States. This information was imparted to me a few days ago when, as a guest of prominent planters, I was taken to the tobacco fields near Hartford. In the party were Professor Kelly Miller of Howard university, Eugene Kinckle Jones, director of the urban league, H. M. Newsome, a representative of the Hartford Daily Courant, and the writer, Fred B. Griffin, president of the Griffin-Neuberger Tobacco company; M. L. Floyd, general manager and principal owner of the Connecticut Tobacco corporation, and former Senator J. W. Alsop, a relative by marriage of Theodore Roosevelt and head of the J. W. Alsop farm, who acted as host. College Boys Working on the Farm It is now harvest time on the tobacco fields, and the planters are using all available help. College boys are here from the south in large numbers, and during the month of August out of the 1,200 colored employees working on the various plantations, two-thirds are students. Howard university, Hampton, Morehouse, Georgia State, Virginia Normal and Industrial, Shaw, Paine and Virginia Union are among the institutions of learning represented. Howard has eighty odd students at work, while Morehouse comes next with fifty. But the young men from Morehouse will earn more than the other students, having been fortunate enough to get on the job at the beginning of the season, June 1. They will take back to Atlanta most of the $10,000 made picking tobacco. There are a number of teachers among the lavaders from southern colleges—sturdy, ambitious members of the race, who have been made foremen or given other positions which enable them to earn more than the regular wage of $2 a day, amounting to $50 a month. Relative to the possibilities for making money, the Hartford planters are anxious that reports sent out be accurate and void of exaggeration They do not wish it understood that fancy salaries are being paid; neither do they want the impression to prevail that working on tobacco plantations is more of a pleasure jaunt than a serious business proposition. Picking tobacco is the chief duty of these sons of toll, for which $2 a day is paid. The foremen and drivers get more. Another way of making a living is by stringing tobacco, and while the majority of "stringers" earn on an average $12 a week, being paid by piecework, there are some, especially nimble fingered women, who earn $3 a day. But earning $3 a day is an exception and only made by those unusually adept with the needle. Female colored help is now wanted for stringing tobacco. The food question at first was somewhat of a problem to solve, the students in particular not being satisfied with the arrangement made of boarding out and paying about $4 weekly for meals. In most instances the young men have hit upon the happy idea of clubbing in, buying their own provisions and paying one of their number with culinary proclivities to act as chef. The club plan is working satisfactorily, the students finding it less expensive, and it permits them to have a selection of food more to their liking. Constructive Work of Urban League. M. L. Floyd is primarily responsible for the presence of colored help on the tobacco fields of Hartford, but the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes, 2303 Seventh avenue, New York city, enjoys sole credit for supplying the planters with Negro labor. After Mr. Floyd had won over his fellow planters to his plan the members of the Connecticut Leaf Tobacco association once more found themselves in a quandary. As knowledge of the activities of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes had extended far from the preducts of its home town the suggestion was made that the league be asked to help them out of their dilemma. The situation was carefully gone over with the heads of the league, and John T. Clark, industrial secretary, was designated to furnish colored help. Since last spring Mr. Clark has devoted much of his time supervising the work of sending Negro labor to the tobacco plantations in the vicinity of Hartford, aided by a corps of assistants, one who is stationed in Norfolk, Va., and meets all help destined for Hartford. Representatives of the Urban league have supplied all help with transportation, for the planters furnish free transportation from Norfolk to Hartford and return. The Urban league has made a most favorable impression on the Hartford planters. It has not asked one cent for its services, the only expense the tobacco men have met being that incurred by the employment of extra agents who are devoting their entire time to sending colored labor to Hartford. Planters to Continue Present Policy. "With the slitting down of the mumition plants and the cessation of hostilities in Europe, what will be the attitude of Hartford planters toward Negro labor?" I asked the planters present. "There will be no change in our present policy of employing Negroes, for we would rather use native labor." was the answer shot back by Mr. Floyd. "The Negro is loyal at all times, and you can count on him. I have bad Poles working for me for fifteen years, but I never could put implicit confidence in them as I do in colored help. The Negro is trustworthy and dependable, takes especial interest in your business and usually refers to it as my business. We intend to hire Negroes and do the right thing by them as long as they do the right thing by us." So far the experiment of employing colored help has been a big success. The future of the Negro on the tobacco plantations of New England is in his own hands. And it cannot be said that all the colored help has to date been satisfactory. Some weeks ago a dozen Negroes were sent to the Floydville farm from Norfolk. They were of the shiftless class who had come north for a good time. They refused to work, evincing a preference for shooting craps. Soon they became obnoxious to the community, finally disappearing from Hartford. This has been the only unpleasant incident so far, and the sufferer, strange to relate, was the man who urged the employment of Negro labor, Mr. Floyd. Races From South Work Side by Side Among some of the strange features of this new industrial condition is the spectacle of white boys from the south working side by side with colored boys from the south. In his search for labor, J. E. Luddy, in charge of the employment bureau conducted by the tobacco growers, went to Florida, where he employed white students who were anxious to work during vacation. They are picking tobacco with colored students from Georgia, and there is no racial friction. Four months in the year—June, July, August and September—constitute the tobacco season. During this period a big demand is made for student labor. But hundreds of positions are open to colored help all the year round. For after the regular season the work of curing and packing tobacco begins. The exodus of thousands of foreigners to Europe since the war and the shortage of labor in the United States have created an unusual and welcome industrial situation. Many colored Americans have profited by this new era of industrialism. Whether the advantage gained is to be short lived or permanent is left solely with them. They must make good. This is the only demand made of them by the tobacco growers of Hartford, and by this chief requisite they are being judged elsewhere. Welton Market and Dept.
