The papers formerly known as The Statesman and The Independent, have been merged into The Denver Star At the End of the Trail Injustice to Negro seems to Wane Kelly Miller Sees Good for Negroes in War Washington, D. C.—In extending the greetings of the season to Colored Americans Prof. Kelly Miller, dean of Howard University, says: "The world is engulfed in the red ruin of war The present titanic conflict is not due to the inherent deviltry of one nation or the innate goodness of another: The accumulative ethical energies of society for generations have been damned up by the barrier of hatred and greed The stored up power is now breaking through the barrier with cataclysmic outburst. The social f bric is being shaken to its very foundation. As an outcome of the war, the readjustment of the social structure will be more radical than that effected by the French Revolution. The transforming effect upon the status of the Negro will be scarcely less momentus than the Emancipation Proclamation. "The democratization of the world, coined as a fitting phrase, will be translated into actuality. The Declaration of Independence, penned by a slaveholder, sounded the death knell of slavery, altho' three-quarters of a century elapsed between promise and fulfilment. The democratiza- of the world is but a restatement of this doctrine in terms of present day attitude of the world. Political autocracy and race autocracy will be buried in the same grave. Here after, no nation however strong, will be permitted to override a weaker neighbor by sheer dominance of power; and no race will be permitted to impose a ruthless regime upon the weaker breeds of men through sheer assumption of superiority. Hereafter, England will treat the East Indian, Turkey, the Armenians, Russia, the Jews and America, the Negroes, with a fuller measure of justice and consideration than heretofore. "The peoples of all lands who are heavy laden and overborne will be the chief beneficiaries of this war. The Negro problem is involved in the problem of humanity. The whole is greater than any of its parts. The Negro will share in the general momentum imported to social welfare. Already he has been admitted to industrial opportunity in the North with manifest reaction upon the harsh regime in the South.

Eighty thousand Negro soldiers have been enlisted, and seven hundred Negroes have been commissioned as officers in the army of the United States. A Negro has been made assistant cabinet officer whose function is to adjust harmoniously the races' relation to the pending struggle. "The improved attitude of the white race towards the Negro is apparent in two affirmative decistons rendered by the Supreme Court of the United States with unanimous concurrence. "The Negro will emerge from this war with a double portion of privilege and opportunity. "Every Negro should be loyal and patriotic, although there are injustices and discriminations which try our souls. If we overcome, these trials and tribulations will work out a more exceeding weight of advantage. But if we allow them to overcome us, woeful will be our lot indeed. To stand sulkily by in plaintive aloofness, because of just grievances would be of the same kind of folly as to refuse to help extinguish a conflagration which threatens the destruction of one's native city because he has a complaint against the fire department. Let us help put out the conflagration which threatens the world our lasting debtor. We must stand shoulder to shoulder with our white fellow citizens to fight for the freedom of the world, outside of our own national circle and then we must hold them to moral consistency of maintaining a just and equitable regime inside of that circle. Democracy like charity should prevail there. Let us fight to the finish to the effect that no nation shall hereafter dare at tempt to make an international treaty a scrap of paper. It must therefore follow then, as corollary, that no nation will hencefore allow its own constitution, which is an intra-national treaty, to be made a scrap of paper. "The tide of democracy is sweeping through the world like a mighty river. The race problem and other social ills are but as marshes, backwaters, stagnant pools, estuaries, which have been shut off from DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JAN. 5, 1918 Colored Troops soon to go to France. Will Colored be First To Enter Berlin? Chambersburg, Pa.- Fred erick Baltimore, 205 West street' a brother of Corporal Charles W. Baltimore, who was one of the thirteen soldiers of the Twenty fourth Infantry executed in Texas for complicity in the Houston riot has a letter whiche he received from Corporal Baltimore a few days before he went to his death. The letter was mailed at San Antonio, Texas, on the same day it was written-- De bember 10, which reads: December 10, 1917. Dear Brother: I write you for the last time in this world. I am to be executed this morning. I know this is shocking news; but don't worry too much as it is God's will. Meet me in heaven. I was convicted at the general courtmartial held here last month; was tried for for mutiny and murder! It is true I went downtown with the men that marched out to camp. But I am innocent of sheding any blood. But it is God's will; so don't worry. "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotted Son, that whoso ever believeth on Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life." I am going to meet father and mother and all the rest of the family gone before. Goodbye; meet me in heaven. Your brother. CHARLES BALTIMORE. Washington—Upon President Wilson will depend whether five more Negro soldiers, news of whose conviction at San Antonio reached Washington this afternoon, shall be hanged for participation in the Houston riots. The cases of the original thirteen executed were not referred to Washington, as the local army authorities had full power, but to avoid any possibility of a miscarriage of justice the president will review the evidence. The five sentenced to the gallows were "Bab" Collier, Thomas McDonald, James Robinson, Joseph Smith and Albert D. Wright, all of Company I. Twenty fourth infantry, regular army. Ten others received long terms at Leavenworth prison. free circulation with the main current. But the freshet of freedom is now overflowing its bed and purifying all the stagnat waters in its onward sweep to the ocean of human liberty and brotherhood. For tunate indeed are we to be borne forward upon its bene ficient bosom at such a time as this." "God's Will, Not Mine Be Done" says Corporal Baltimore of unlucky 13 Washington. —The First Separate Battalion, of this city, the Colored unit of the District of Columbia's Nation al Guard before being mustered into the federal service. has departed for Camp Stuart Newport News, Na. At this point it becomes a part of the 372nd regiment, to which the old Ninth Battalion of Ohio is joined. Before receiving orders to proceed to Camp Stuart, Maj. James Walker, was retired. He was retired some weeks ago but the War Department finding it had retired him irregularly, reinsiated him, and now retires him regularly. This retirement of Major Walker, and the failure to advance another Colored man to that rank, and the probable retirement of Maj Fulton, of the Ninth Ohio, if not already done, leaves little doubt that captaincy will be the highest Commission a Colored man will receive. It is expected that the 372nd Regiment will ship for France soon, though nothing definite will be given out as to how soon. French Ideals Negroes' Hope France's treatment of her Colored soldiers is much fairer and just, and undiscriminatory than the United States' treatment of her black legions that there is no comparison. In the French army today there are two Colored generals, four colonels and one hundred captains, and lieutenants too numerous to mention. This is a much better showing than is made by the United States, which country has not even an officer as high as a colonel in the regular army although the United States' population numbers more than ten millions of black folks. There is absolutely no color line over here in France. Here merit alone limits a man's possibilities and opportunities. "Birth of Nation" Mayor Defeated Boston, Mass., —Andrew J. Peters, the Good Government Association candidate for Mayor of this city defeated Mayor James M. Curley yesterday by a plurality of 0074. The Colored people are especially pleased with the results as it was Mayor Curley who was responsible for the playing of the "Birth of a Nation," here. The Boston Branch of the National Equal Rights League issued an appeal for the defeat of Mayor Curley, which did much toward the election of Peters. Mayor-elect Peters' wife is a lineal descend ant of the great abolitionist, William Lloyd Garrison. FIVE CENTS A COPY. Save or Go Hungry Signing Pledges, Win no Battles, Feeding Armies Will--Let Every Negro do his "bit." Every American, whether black or white, rich or poor old or young, can do something to help to win this war The only question now is - are you willing to do what you are asked to do and do it willingly and cheerfully, thus proving your true American patriotism. The man who goes into the trenches, who is behind the gun or wields the sword cannot alone subdue Germany; but woman in the kftchen, the man behind the plow, the proprietor of the eating-house, restaurant, or hotel must all play well their part. And if they fail it will mean defeat for the army, and the world-wide democracy for which we are contending will fail, and all our civilized world would be thrown into slavery. "I have passed the age limit, so I will not be drafted,' and "I am a woman, and women don't go to war", are among the expressions often to be heard. All of these statements may be true-but YOU CAN DO SOMETHING. Did you you buy a liberty bond? If you did then that was your contribution to your country. Did you sign the pledge card sent out by the United States Food Administrator? If you did, then you made another excellent contribution; and that is indeed important and essential to success, because the soldiers of the United States and of the Allies must be fed, and you are called upon to help to feed them. In the United States we seem to have such an abundance of food that tee necessity tor economizing has not yet made itself felt as it has in Europe. No man apparently is hungry. If one has the price, one seems to feel easy in the matter of getting enough food. But the necessity for food-saving is here, and it is vital. It is absolutely necessary that you follow to the letter and spirit all instructions given you by your State Food Administrator. Some people dec'are that they are not going to make out the weekly report cards and hand them to their church committees, because it interferes with their eating. Anyone, who says this is not a true American citizen. Make a careful study of the foods which we may consume and be happy and well fed on without inflicting deprivation upon our soldiers and our Allies. Food will win this war. Do you know that we have been asked to consume certain foods to the limit of our appetite, while we are urged in the same breath to eat less of other foods? Is it clear to you that certain foods may be used to sustain life in comfort and good health here in our country which could not be shipped across the ocean? And are you eating those foods, in order to permit the sending of wheat, meat, sugar and fat to Europe? Have you, in fact, kept the pledge you signed? In this country 11,000,000 of our people signed the food pledge, to cooperate with the Food Administrator in saving food. If these people keep their pledges there will be enough to meet the enormous requirements of hungry Europe. The Negro has made a fine record in signing pledge cards. But signing a pledge is not enough. It is more important to carry out the pledge, because this is necessary as an aid to winning this war, and as a reminder that you plighted your word that it will done. We should not deceive ourselves by believing that peace is just beyond the horizon. A desire for peace is present in all of us. We should not permit the wish to be father to the thought that we shall have won the war and placed democracy on the high pedestal where it will guarantee the rights of all free people. There is a place for you in this war game. Find your place and fill it. The Negro press is doing its part by giving space to the information that is given out from time to time. Read it, then act. Thousands of young men of America will soon be in the trenches fighting for you, and you must not forget them. Give them your prayers, and then get behind your government in feeding and caring for them. Church News THE ZION BAPTIST CHURCH, 24th Avenue and Ogden. David E. Over, D. D., Minister. telephones, York 6007, York 9377. Sunday services closing the year 1917 were wholly characteristic of the wonderful record which Zion Church made during the past twelve months. In many respects this has been the most blessed and prosperous of any similar period in the history of the Church. In attendance, in the number of souls saved, and in financial offerings the Church reached a high water mark. Next week we will publish in full the reports made this week in the annual meeting. After the morning service, the Every Member Canvass Committee, having been served an elaborate and substantial dinner went forth to collect subscriptions for current and benevolent funds for 1918. The response of our generous membership was simply overwhelming. The reports at the evening service showed that an amount had been pledged totaling nearly $5,000.00, with slightly over a hundred of the membership still to be reached. These figures clearly indicate that Zion will begin the year with more than $6,000.00 to meet its benvolent and current expenses. This wonderful response is the result of careful training and organization. The estimation for last year was set at $4,800.00, but the generosity of the people went considerably beyond this sum. The Church is observing, along with the whole of Christendom, a Week of Prayer. Monday night a great crowd was present, remaining for the Watch Night services, a very blessed experience was had. Sunday morning, next, the pastor will have a special New Year's message. It is his earnest hope that a large congregation will be present to get a prospect of the coming days. The subject to be discussed is, "Looking Forward." The second Sunday evening will be a special Missionary evening. A missionary sermon will be given to the women of the Missionary Society and the officers for the new year will be installed. This service will be of especial interest. Mrs. Lexie Brooks, the new president, received information a few days ago of the death of her father in Oklahoma, and immediately left for home to attend funeral services. She will return in the course of a few days. CENTRAL BAPTIST CHURCH Phone Champa 1059 REV. P. J. PRICE, PASTOR. Sunday School lesson, Mark 1:11. B. Y. P. U., 6:30 p. m. Services last Sabbath were above the average. All auxiliaries made good showing. We comment Bro. M. Peoples for his services in the Sunday School during 1917. Sister L. Turner has worked quite well during in 1917. Bro. E. Rose comes in for his share of good work the past year. The Choral Club is to be remembered for their faithful services also. The Sunday School teachers and pupils made great headway during 1917. Our watch meeting was one full of spirit and rejoicing. When the new year threw her shadow on Mother Earth a goodly number and overwhelming crowd bowed in prayer to Jesus Christ for his guidance, Jan. 6th, free will offering at Central; covenant in the morning, communion at night. The names of the officers for 1918 will appear in next week's issue. The sick of our church are doing nicely. Mrs. Price is reported as not being very well. Central made a grand showing in raising funds for the Red Cross—$90.00. Central Baptist is patriotic. The Junior Mission workers come in for their share under the leadership of Sister Ellen O'Neal. The deacons of Central have worked vigorously and are still working grandly. Our trustees are planning some good things for the future. We especially mention the lady Masons of Central, an auxiliary of the church which needs commending for their good work. Our Usher's club is doing well. Our church budget for 1918 will run approximately $3,000. Our financial day, March 17, we are asking each member to come or sen their donations on the above-mentioned date. We are concluding a series of prayer meetings at Central. Sunrise prayer meeting at 5 a.m. each Sabbath during 1918. Come and hear the pastor on "Ideal Communion." Sunday evening, 8:00 o'clock. PEOPLE'S PRESBYTERIAN. E. 23rd Ave. and Washington St. Pastor. J. A. Thos-Hazell, S. T. B. Sermon topic, Sunday, Jan. 6: 11 a.m. "Every Man to His Own Place." 4:15 p. m., Prayer and Meditation; 5 p. m., Holy Communion." Last Sabbath was a great day at the People's Church. At the forenoon hour the Presbyter delivered his old year's lecture. At 5 p. m. the audience listened to a most inspiring musical program. The Gatewood orchestra most creditably supplemented the program. Miss F. M. Manson delivered a brief and appropriate address. The Temple quartet, composed of Miss D. Gatewood, Miss M. Cole, Messrs.' C. A. Clark and Cedell Norris, very ably distinguished themselves. Miss Virgle Cole and Mrs. Lilly Hughes performed their respective parts in a becoming manner. The president of the choir, Mr. C. W. Brickler, was at his best in the quartet "And Thou Child." The other members of the choir once more merited the compliments of the audience. It is hoped that every communicant will attend the prayer and meditation services immediately preparatory to the celebration of the Lord's Supper. The Lord's Supper is a feast to which all Christians are cordially invited. It is highly becoming that the greatest respect for the House of God be shown at all times, but more especially during this service. During this service the doors of the church will be closed. Participants are requested to be in their seats on time and not come in and go out of the church and thus disturb those who are endeavoring to sincerely worship. Visitors are kindly requested to respect our wishes in this matter. Members of the church are expected to be exemplary in this wise.

This is an age of preparation and not or noise or show. The much heralded attempt to lynch the Negro soldier proved to be more scare than reality, because upon demand for the release of the soldier by Capt. Lee, the suspected soldier was released. Some three or four soldiers had been suspected and released because of insufficiency of the evidence. Had this occurrence been in the South already some Negro soldier would have been lynched, but as it is, no one is not even now arrested. We wonder where was our local N. A. A. C. P. when the cry of distress went out? Mr. and Mrs. Browning Allen are on the sick list, necessitating the services of a physician. THE NEGRO COMMERCIAL ASSOCIATION. A mass meeting will be held in the Zion Baptist Church, 24th and Ogden, on Friday evening, Jan. 18th, at 8:00 o'clock, in the interest of the above association. Prominent business men of the city of Denver will address the meeting. All interested in the welfare of the race are urged to attend. If some of our ministers could have read the strong editorial in the Wichita paper about them patronizing their own places and professional men it might do some good for the beginning of the year. Denver has two dentists, two lawyers, two tailors, several cleaning establishments, one grocery store, one shoe repair shop, many barber shops, two drug stores, many restaurants and cafes, two hotels, two printing offices, two newspapers, several churches and religious bodies and we can see no reason why other businesses of the Anglo-Saxon are patronized when we have the same among ourselves? Watch these race men and prove their words by their deeds. Miss Cassie Fleming, who has just returned from a visit to Santa Fe and Las Vegas, N. M., where she spent a few days with Mrs. A. Reeves, niece of the millionaire sheep man, Montgomery Bell, deceased. Mrs. Reeves was the guest of Miss Fleming while in our city. Oh, Thou the Christ! Guide right our feet again! Show us the way to go in this grave hour; Grant freedom to the world, our lives a part; Give strength to fight. Let us Thy justice see. Pure as the Heaven undraped, our love for Thee.

Now if you want to know some more Ask God and Rev. McCully, For they're the only ones can tell What Dearfield's going to be. THE TOWN OF DEARFIELD, COL- ORADO is not on a boom. Just a steady growth caused by the demand for labor and business of all kinds. Now is the time to join the wave of Dearfield prosperity. Dearfield needs 100 small houses to care for the families who are to arrive in the spring. Two hundred dollars cash will start a nice 3 or 4 room cottage that will rent for $5 or $6 per month.

The eleventh biennial meeting of the N. A. C. W. will be held in Denver, Colorado, July 8 to 13, 1918. Every officer, superintendent of de partments, state president and delegate should present her credentials to the Committee and obtain official badge entitling her to vote as soon after arrival as possible. The Credential Committee, Miss Georgia A. Nugent, Chairman; Mrs. Mary H. Baker, of Wyoming; Mrs. Theresa G. Macon, of Illinois; Mrs. Charlotte Hawkins Brown, of North Carolina, and Miss Reberta Dunbar, of Rhode Island, Recording Secretary, will be in session Monday, July 8, from 11 a. m. to 12 m., and from 2 to 5 p. m. The Executive Board, Miss Hallie Q. Brown, Chairman, will hold their first session at 5 p. m., July 8. Mrs. Myrtle Cook, Chairman of Program Committee, has been able to nearly complete a program which covers the newer and more striking phases of work which has been called for, due to the extraordinary time through which we are passing. Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, Superintendent of Department for Suppression of Lynching and Mob Violence, will have a report of unusual interest to present. The Entertainment Committee are arranging for short trips to Pike's Peak, Colorado Springs, the Garden of the Gods, and also for a mid-day luncheon to be served free to the delegates. The Committee in charge of Transportation has announced rates from the East, through Mrs. Mazie Mosselle Griffin. Mrs. G. A. Ross, of Denver, representing the West, and Mrs. Mabel Keith Howard, of South Carolina, will announce rates for the South. Information concerning board and lodging may be obtained from Mrs. M. E. Dishman, 2439 Glipin Street, Denver, Colorado, General Chairman of Arrangements for Denver. Among the interesting things scheduled will be the burning of the Douglas mortgage, the announcement of the Roll of Honor and the winner of the Special Tablet; also the election of the Board of Trustees to manage the Douglass Home which will pass to the entire control and management of the National Association of Colored Women. The American Colored women should be aroused as never before, to greater activity. New duties will be placed upon our women through the Amendment to the Constitution, which will doubtless become a law at the coming session of Congress. At the smallest calculation, three million Colored women will receive the ballot, which is the greatest power that has been given us since the emancipation, to correct some of the evils that have crushed us. Government ownership of railroads will wipe out the notorious, offensive, undemocratic Jim Crow cars, into which we have been herded during the past twenty years, regardless of rights as American citizens. Just now, a call is coming to you, as thrown across a deep valley. Will you, will you be there? Let the answer come: "We will, we will be there!" All dues and per capita taxes should be in the hands of the National Treasurer, Mrs. Ida Joyce Jackson, 548 East Spring Street, Columbus, Ohio, no later than May 30, 1918. MARY B. TALBERT, President.

The Boy Scout Council is very desirous in organizing an auxiliary consisting of the parents of boys connected with the organization. The movement is a good one and should receive the hearty co-operation of every parent as it will mean much to the council, the boy and the parent. The white scouts' parents give their support and assist the movement in any way they possibly can. Now it remains for the Colored Boy Scout parents to do likewise. You are welcome to any of our meetings that are held every Saturday at Shorters' A. M. E. Church at 8 o'clock sharp. The Boy Scouts now have 14 members and 6 candidates. Watch us grow. We are looking forward to a great time New Year's day, when we go to call on the Mayor and the Governor, after which we will be treated to a chuck-wagon feed on the Civic Center. He goes forth to conquer. This idea put in the strongest possible form—"conquering and to conquer;" that is, victory succeeding victory. He triumphs over all oppositions, but not at once. Many a fierce struggle is called for before the forces of evil are vanquished. But the cause of righteousness will win in the end. We follow a leader who has never been beaten. He came into this world to destroy the power of sin. It was a gigantic struggle, and at first he seemed to be baffled. Looked at from the human point of view his death was a failure; but it was in reality a victory. By it he vanquished sin and death. Through all his earthly life he was a victor. He conquered disease; he ruled the forces of nature; he cast out evil spirits; he delivered men from the power of evil. Never once did he go down to defeat. The work of conquest which he began upon earth he is now carrying on with greater power. The power by which Christ conquers is the same as that by which he conquered when here in the flesh. He conquers by the power of truth and love. His weapon of conquest is the cross. In the epistle to the Hebrews Jesus is represented as making "one sacrifice of sin forever," and then sitting down at God's right hand, "from henceforth expecting until his enemies be made his footstool" (Chap. 10:12, 13). His expectation of coming victory was based upon his sacrifice for sin. He knew of no greater power than the cross. It was the highest revelation of divine suffering, redeeming love, conceivable. No greater power unto salvation can be brought to bear upon the hearts of men. It is God's utmost. This is the weapon which we today are to yield in the battle for righteousness. "The weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but spiritual." They may appear to be feeble, but they are "mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds." The cross is no failure. Following the crucified, we follow a conquering king.—Rev, James M. Campbell, D. D. Valuable as are the ships themselves that now lie at the bottom of the sea, the cargoes of cotton, rubber, wool, machinery, etc., are considered to be more valuable still." Parts of the North sea and of the English channel are shallow enough to permit of this kind of salvage work on a considerable scale, according to the authority quoted.—Outlook Magazine. Woman's After-War Work. Mary Boazman writes as follows in the Woman of Home, London: "At the end of the war many women will be engaged in vocations once sacred to men. Some of these are probably unsulted to them, but in others they will continue to the advantage of themselves and society. The time is surely ripe for a proper division of the various employments between the two sexes to end the fierce competition prevailing before the increase to the army. For instance, waiting at table and the teaching of young children are tasks more adapted to women than to men, and might well become their monopoly. It is clearly wiser to prepare for the numbers of women who will have to be provided for in the future in a systematic fashion, than to leave the matter to settle itself in the haphazard way which breeds confusion and strife."

Have you seen that exciting, amusing and interesting serial picture at the Grand Theatre, full of pathos, love and entertainment? It shows every Wednesday night, "The Fighting Trail," and continues for 17 Wednesday nights. Remember, the Grand has pick of all the big pictures. Come, Workers, here was a teacher; and the lessons he taught was good: There are no classes or races, but one human brotherhood. There are no creeds to be outlawed, no colors of skin debarred; mankind is one in its rights and wrongs, one right, one hope and one guard.—John Boyle O'Reilly and Wendell Phillips. THE GRAND THEATRE CON- TINUES TO PLEASE. Everybody who visits Larimer St knows that their visit is not complete until they have stopped in and been entertained by the high class pictures of the Grand theatre. They just try to satisfy and please everybody. The moving picture of the Grand Encampment of the Knights of Pythias shown at the Grand Theatre last week proved to be one of the most inspirational and entertaining that has ever visited Denver. Credit for this is due Messrs. A. R. Butler, W. R. Rhodes and Bob Carruth. A neat sum was realized to the lodge as a result of this venture. Miss Cora Tarrance, daughter of Mrs. Fannie Duncan, was married December 27 to Mr. Chas, Dawson of St. Louis, Mo., at the residence of her mother, 1823 Humboldt street. The bride wore a beautiful gown which was draped with exquisite white fur. The house was royally decorated with lovely flowers and beautiful ferns, giving semblance of a varigated garden. The bride received many valuable presents from her friends. Mrs. Blanch Mills cut the bride cake, after which the delicacies of the season were served. The bride and groom will be at home to their friends until spring, after which time they will make their home in Cleveland, Ohio. Mr. S. E. Cook left Oakland, Calif., New Year's day for Washington, D. C., for an indefinite stay, whence he will go to New York for six months or a year. The Denver Star received the following notice on its bill: "If Mr. Slowpay will pay YOU, you will pay ME, and I will pay Mr. Strict. It is up to you to go after Mr. Slowpay. Go after them strong." Please pay us so we can pay the other fellow. Let the other fellow wait now and pay us. SUBSCRIBERS. TAKE NOTICE!

A long romance which it took years to culminate in a happy marriage was ended Xmas Day when Miss Bertha Munday became the wife of Mr Rav Clark. Upon that day childhood and school days as they passed together, were blended into one long day of future anticipated happiness. Both of the young people were reared in Denver, and were prominently known and most highly thought of by all who knew them and the old time Denver citizens who happen to enjoy the acquaintances of both are tickled to hear of the marriage. Too much cannot be said of both parties as they are of the best and oldest families of Denver. The Denver Star congratulates both and wishes them an abundance of sunshine and not a ray of darkness to mar the beauty and grandeur of marital blissfulness. We know that their many friends will be glad to know of the affair. Miss Helen Munday of Atlantic City, a teacher in that place was present and telegraphed the news to her aunt Mrs. Lottie Cowell of Ogden Street.

M. before she married as Mrs. Will Brown thought so much of the Denver Star Staff that she gave the Yuletide greetings in the form of a large box of freshly picked California figs and one large fruit cake made of the ingredients from California. It is needless to say that we murdered the Xmas greeting. The entire force desires IT'S GREAT TO BE IT'S GREAT TO BE A CANNING CLUB GIRL The image shows a woman standing in front of a chalkboard filled with handwritten notes. She is wearing a uniform with a cap, suggesting she may be a worker or a teacher. The chalkboard contains a list of names and descriptions, likely related to a project or a meeting. The woman appears to be engaged in the task at hand, possibly preparing materials or discussing the details on the board. The setting seems to be an indoor space, possibly a classroom or a workshop, given the presence of the chalkboard and the woman's attire. The picture shows Mrs. Mina C. Van Winkle of Newark, N. J., in the uniform of the food administration, some of the products of a war garden, and, on the blackboard, the song of the canning club girl.

The plant of the Harvey Porter Distilling company, located just across the Massachusetts state line, in Agawam, began business in 1780, opened a small wooden building for the distillation of rye gin, in combination with the manufacture of liquid yeast. Along in 1800 the business had grown far beyond the first building, and in 1860 the present distillery was erected and later sold to the Francis Gowdy distillery, whose employees have been in the old distillery for many years. The company may continue to manufacture compressed yeast, but the doors of the gin distillery are closed forever. Careful Buyer Was Suspicious of Bargain Offered Him by Exasperated Real Estate Dealer. The real estate agent was driving round town with a prospective buyer and trying to interest him in a certain piece of land. The agent had shown the same man several pieces of property for sale below current prices, and was beginning to think that he would never buy, no matter how tempting the offer might be. Finally, the agent, exasperated at his client's faultfinding, said to him, "Well, Mr. Bickering, you don't want to buy anything. I don't expect to sell you anything, no matter how good it is or how low the price." "I'll buy something good. You show me a real bargain, and you can sell it to me," replied Bickering. "I have already shown you half a dozen good bargains, and I don't believe you would buy a dead-sure cinch for a big immediate profit. I'll prove it to you right now. Here, I'll sell you this silver dollar for 90 cents." to thank Mrs. Baker of Oakdale, California, and extends to her their best wishes for a real live, happy and prosperous New Year with its trimmings. Greetings were heartily welcomed from Mrs. O. W.

CHICKEN FOR TWO. Many housewives who have but two or three in family hesitate to buy chicken except when entertaining as it lasts so long. With an ice chest one small chicken will serve three or four meals for two, not giving very large servings to be sure, but plenty enough to satisfy a good appetite. The second joint is a good serving if grown on a normally active chicken and with a good helping of mashed potato, plenty of good gravy and another vegetable will make a good main dish even for the hearty man. The drum sticks may be boned, stuffed and used as another meal, the wings, neck and back as a A CANNING CLUB GIRL Van Winkle of Newark, N.

The present high price of flour has given everybody the desire to use all available grains for food. Buckwheat has always filled the mind of the housewife as only a griddle cake mixture, when in truth it may be used in many ways to save on flour. Its nutritive properties are nearly the same as wheat, it contains less protein but has a slightly higher carbohydrate content and more fat than wheat. As it is slightly laxative in its tendency, it is especially valuable to a large number of people. And her surprising thing about buckwheat is that it makes a good breakfast cereal and may be used for breading fish, chops and such foods. One great disadvantage which can be easily overcome is its habit of lumping, so it must be mixed with coarser grains or cold water before hot water is added or the lumps will have to be strained out.

In these days of high prices it is time that buckwheat found its proper place as a valuable food; it has been ignored too long. Neele Maxwell RIGHT QUALITIES OF PEACE What Is Included in the Full Meaning of This Word? To look for the good in all men and hold sacred human life; to cultivate the spirit of brotherhood; to put obedience to the laws of God above all else; and to submit cheerfully to all lawful authority, whether it be of king or of rulers chosen by the people—all this makes for true and honorable peace. It means obedience to law, divine and human; it means using every proper effort to prevent violations of either law; it means to amend what is unjust or imperfect in human legislation and to co-operate in securing what is right and beneficial; it means to protect the weak, succor those in distress, comfort those in sorrow, and provide for the welfare of all. 803 14th St. Denver, Cccl. Phone Main 1702 It may mean firm resistance to evil, even if such resistance involve strife and bloodshed; it may even mean aggressive action for the purpose of freeing the oppressed and stopping wanton destruction of life and property. It means a lofty purpose, carried out firmly, yet with the least possible amount of force, striving rather to attain the desired end by moral and spiritual power in place of physical. It is the sort of peace all true, manly Christians desire; the sort that Christ himself approves; and all those who strive earnestly to bring about a world peace of this sort have a right to be called soldiers of him who is the Prince of Peace.—Waterbury American Prince of can.

For an invalid the delicate fillet taken from the breast broiled in a well-greased paper, makes a most dalty tid-bit. The breast may be cooked, cut in slices and served as sandwich filling with bacon, making a most popular and satisfying sandwich. Chicken Jelly—Take one chicken breast cut fine, and add to a pint of hot chicken stock. Dissolve a package of gelatin in a little cold water and add it to the hot stock. Season well and pour into a mold. Serve cut in various shapes as salad or molded in small forms served on lettuce with mayonnaise or boiled dressing. Neele Marree Celery Soup. Cook the outside stalks of celery till tender with enough water to cover, add a small onion, a slice of carrot and a bay leaf. When tender rub through a sieve. Blend two tablespoonfuls each of butter and flour and add to a plint of hot milk, cook with the celery, pulp, season and serve hot with croutons. Doctor Raycroft disagrees with the popular notion that American expertise in baseball throwing will prove a distinct advantage in the hurling of bombs. Trench experience, he states, has demonstrated that the most effective results with those deadly little missiles is obtained by a forward and thrusting throw, as in shot-putting or the short-armed bowling throw which prevails in cricket. Information obtained from those who have had experience with bombs and grenades on the battlefields and in the Canadian camps indicate that the free overhand baseball throw is too prone to overshoot the mark to be of such pronounced advantage, as most Americans have fancied must prove the case. Practically every branch of sport will be encouraged in the training camps, but it is probable that boxing will play a leading part. The grand essentials of happiness are something to do, something to love, and something to hope for. All one's self is music, if one touches the notes rightly and in tune.—Ruskin. Meatless Meals. As we are asked to observe Tuesday as a meatless day, which all patriotic women will be glad to do, it behooves us to look over our cook books and keep enough recipes for meatless dishes on file to escape monotony. Lima Bean Salad. Over a pht of cold cooked Lima beans pour three or four tablespoonfuls of olive oil, two tablespoonfuls of cider vinegar, one teaspoonful of grated onion, half a teaspoonful of salt and half a teaspoonful of paprika. Toss and mix; serve with chopped pickle. Peanut butter added to baked beans instead of pork is a change which is liked by peanut lovers. Onions and Cheese. A most satisfying and wholesome dish is onions and cheese. Cook the onions until tender, then place a layer in a baking dish, then a layer of good rich white sauce and a thick layer of grated cheese, cover with another layer of onions and white sauce and finish the top with buttered crumbs. Bake until well heated and the crumbs well browned. Hard cooked eggs may be cut up and added to onions in place of the cheese if desired. who have derrick constructed and expect to be drilling soon Treasury Stock Price Now 5C Per Share Geologists and big producers report that Eastern Colorado will furnish the next big oil boom sensation, and are watching the Eagle Company's development progress near Greeley, where it is claimed they are on the anticline of the oil structure which extend from the Big Hollow dome of Wyoming.

Bryants. Mrs. P. A. Hubbard died Monday evening at her home in Manitou. Funeral services were held Thursday from Payne Chapel. The body was shipped to Macon, Mo., where the Rev. P. A.

Braxton are convalescent. Lieut. Neil of the Colorado battalion spent Monday in the Springs to be at the bedside of his wife, who underwent a rather serious operation. Mrs. Neil is improving at this writing. Union revival services will open Sunday, Jan. 13th, at St. John Baptist Church. Special cottage prayer meetings will be held each afternoon during the coming week. One of the gay parties of the year was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. L. L. Duncan for the return set. Rev. L. A. Pinkney has returned from his recent visit to Texas. Rev. T. M. Sanders of Pueblo was a visitor of the week. The funeral of John Robinson, an early settler here, was held from Payne Chapel on last Wednesday. The special Xmas music of the Peoples' M. E. Church was given last Sunday with great credit. Mrs. Marcella Hine is recovering from an operation on her feet. Her husband spent the Xmas week at home. A very beautiful wedding took place Xmas day at the People's M. E.

Many very beautiful and useful gifts were presented the young couple. Mr. George Payne returned to the ranch near Pueblo after spending the holidays with his family here. The banquet given at the residence of Mrs. Esther Million, 322 W. Willomette, was quite a swell affair. Early in the evening of December 24th the table and home were decorated in real holiday style. Under the shadow of the beautifully decorated Christmas tree, the table was laden with luxuries that would please the refined sensibilities of a king. Among the guests present were Mr. and Mrs. H. R. Green of Denver, Messrs. Penn and Snyder of Chicago and Mr. and Mrs. Briley of this city. Mrs. Milton has that distinction of knowing how to make it pleasant for visitors.

My dear Co-Worker: NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF COLORED WOMEN I have good news for you. God is answering our prayers. I appeared before the Rules Committee of the House of Representatives, Friday, August 3rd, and that night Congressman Dyer phoned me that the Committee was wonderfully impressed and had decided to recommend that the Resolution, begging Federal Investigation be taken up by Congress. Now, we must win. God will help us if we help ourselves. Keep at it! WORK! PETITIONS! PETITIONS! PETITIONS are the things that will prove that there is countrywide sentiment and determination back of this demanding that an end be put to mob violence. Now, I will not rest until every Congressman is appealed to to take a stand for justice and protection. Will you get men to sign these Petitions in ink, and you divide the number and send them directly to the members of Congress from your State? Send them to men in the House and in the Senate. See that the work is neatly done so as to reflect the intelligence that there is back of this movement. Tell our people to take pride and pleasure in this. Get influential white friends to sign some of them. Give them the literature and urge them to see their patriotic duty in saving America from mob violence. Get signatures. Every Petition counts. Fill out the enclosed memorandum and send it at once, to me. This memorandum goes to Congressman Dyer. He wants to keep close tab on what is being done by the Colored people themselves. Send each Congressman one of the enclosed tags. Write a very short letter, telling him you know he is going to hear the voice of his fellow countryman, pleading for justice and protection. Make it bristle, with patriotism, but make him feel that this country is facing a problem at home that is no less serious than the problem abroad. Work with us in this. Pray with us and we will win. Yours for a True Democracy. N. H. BURROUGHS SLOGAN—"STOP LYNCHING AND MOB VIOLENCE BY LAW." National Association of Colored Women; Our Denver N. A. A. C. P. is backing the movement here.

FAILURES Often Times It Is the Great Revealer of God's Mercy, Love and Power to Deliver. The disciples learned through their falls, but they never learned anything which would not have been better learned through their faith. It is enough to say that God will teach us through our stumblings when that is the only text-book to teach us out of. We need not go into any raptures about failure. When he had denied his Lord and then suddenly saw him in all his truth and beauty, Peter knew well enough that he might have seen his Lord more clearly without a fall. But be that as it may, the fall was there, and the wonder of it was that his master was still willing to reveal himself through what was left. Almost any master could take the defects and mistakes of his disciples and point out what they had lost, but who else would take the meanest and most contemptible passages in one's existence and make even them a lens through which they could see the divine if they would? There are more normal ways of revelation, points out the Sunday School Times, but when this is the only way we have left to God, then he takes our falls and reveals himself through them. Without ever once saying that the fall was upward, or that the sin was goodness in the making, the Bible takes what men give and shows how wonderfully God will commence the miracle of repair. It may be that we do not learn as we might because we are too proud to learn through the only means we have left for God to employ in teaching us. A great fall may still be a great revealer. When we have had one we may look upward because there is nowhere else to look. At last we look unto the hills whence cometh our help. One of the marks of a Christian believer is that to him a fall is something different from what it is to another man. To the non-Christian a fall may seem nothing but a finish. To the Christian it must in some way seem more terrible than to anybody else. But though he is cast down, he is not destroyed. Every Christian is brought very low at times. To anyone else it would be the end; but he is taught to expect something more. Joseph Parker, who so constantly exhibited the exuberance of the Gospel, said: "I have known as nearly as any man what it was to be forsaken. I have reached out and found no help, that is, no lateral help. The only direction from which help could come to me was vertical." These exhaustions ought never to have been, but they are here, and they may be made the ground of revelations. When we cannot pray to God out of our nearness to him, then we can pray out of our distance. George MacDonald said that sometimes he felt he had no other claim upon God except that he was so miserable; and he made that claim. One man lets his weakness overwhelm him. His religion ends there. But another takes his stand upon his weakness, it is all he has, and he uses that as an approach to God; and the willingness to do that has been a great reveler to men. Pride may ruin us, it may keep us waiting until we have some better basis on which to speak to God—and we never find that basis. Who would not wish that he might look into God's face from a life that was all clear? But we cannot. The Pharisee tried it in the temple and failed. The publican knew that if he was to see God at all he must see him from the standpoint of sin and shame; throwing away his pride, waiting for nothing, saying "God be merciful to me a sinner," he saw God. There is not a sinner in the world who may not add to the glories of revelation. "God fulfills himself in many ways." We could wish that the truth might come to us steadily, through eyes that are always bright and glad. But the truth comes to many of us through tears. It may come that way. Let us not despise our disappointments. So far our sins and falls may have only revealed to us ourselves. They may have only intensified our self-knowledge. This is something; but if it is all, it may end in death. But when one realizes that just this experience is what Christ has been looking for, and that, made over to him, he may make it a means of revelation, then our greatest days may be drawing nigh. You are having some terrible disappointment or sorrow or failure. Do not let it be that and nothing more. Do not be proud about it. Do not say you will not see God unless he comes in the grand way. If this is all you have by way of present experience, then it will suit God better than anything else you can offer. Christ always took men just where they were. He never asked that the situation should be altered. He said nothing about "hard cases." There was no depth to which one had fallen which might not become a ground from which to rise again. Just there the soul may find, if it is humble enough, the help which just matches his need. When Thoreau fell and sprained his ankle in the woods, as he lay on the ground looking about he saw for the first time in many months the herb arnica mollis, good for sprains, and felt it was a parable of much else in the spiritual world. So when our first shame and discouragements are over, we are to ask, "What may this yet mean to me?" It may be the beginning of greater revelation than we have yet received.

DENVER, COLO PETITION TO THE President and Congress PETITION President a FOR Independence PETITION TO THE President and Congress FOR THE We, as American citizens, respectfully state to the Government of the United States that Ireland is a distinct nation, deprived of her liberty by force and held in subjection by England by military power alone. As America has entered the war for the preservation of democracy and the freedom of small nationalities, this Government is in honor bound to apply this principle impartially in all cases of peoples held in subjection, whether they be under the jurisdiction of Germany, like Belgium, or of England, like Ireland. As America cannot be a party to any scheme of world-peace which withholds from any nation the God-given right of freedom, the only final settlement must be the complete independence of Ireland. America has the right, by her entry into the war, to demand it from England, not in the Peace Conference at the close of the war, but now. We therefore respectfully urge upon the President and the Congress the necessity and good policy of giving a great example to the nation in insisting that England and Ireland complete national industry. We warmly hope that, like Cuba, Ireland will be made free by the action of America. NAME ADDRESS Every lover of Democracy, irrespective of sex, race and religion, is asked to sign this Petition.
