Every race in our American make-up which suffered from race prejudice has internal or organizations on a wide scale to combat and break down discrimination in public matters. Every such group presents a protest through that race backed by an organization of that race, which the public find will combat discrimination retaliate and work against those who are prejudice against them. This independent self-reliance compells respect. When Moorfield Storey, member of the race which made itself free and independent, being interested that our race should get its rights, was inspired to send word on the Colored Liberty Congress—"Who would be free himself must strike the blow"—, he was acting the knowledge that no proscribed race has ever gotten a permanent grip on equality and citizenship until that race showed to the oppressor that it had developed the ability to make a fight, until the dominant race saw that it had created an internal organization for its rights and could conduct a fight through its own generalship. If others helped they did so under the leadership of the race, or they acted as Allies. The deciding point has been that the people who were in power realize that the people proscribed resented the discrimination deeply enough to fight it themselves, not needing to be put up to doing so by members of the dominant race; and realize also that the proscribed race had developed sufficient strength to be able to conduct an organized campain for equal rights. When the oppressor sees that a great race really feels discrimination, without having to be spurred up, and that it has the spirit and ability to make an organized resistance, the oppressor begins to fear and respect and to pay heed to their protest. The cooperation of friends who have all their own rights is helpful. Philanthropists are are beneficial as allies. Combinations of philanthropists with the oppressed do a great deal of good. The apothegm, "Who would be free himself must strike the blow," however, requires absolutely that, whatever other aids there may be, self-made and self-conducted race organization against proscription must exist. In the words of another member of the dominant race, Richard W. Hale, one of counsel in the John Johnson extradition case, the way to "get justice irrespective of race" is for Colored Americans in contending for rights to learn to "stand on their own legs." STAND BY YOUR FRIENDS for racial protection does not mean opposition to any other form of organization. The world finds room for various religions, civic or fraternal organization. So do persons belong to more than one social, civic or fraternal organization. Persons denied justice have a community of interest, a peculiar interest, have their own fate at stake, which makes it logical to have an internal self-protecting body anyway. Its absence means like of self-reliance, means dependence upon the more fortunate, means inferiority to other classes or races. The self-organized fight is therefore indispensable to standing and respect. Actions Speak Louder that Words The Test is Here, Will You Make Good? There comes a time in every man's life when your record which has been assailed needs only be presented and the facts themselves will tell an eloquent story. The Star wishes to call attention in this connection, to the record of Mr. Lawrence C. Phipps in answer to the question put, from a Negro voter's point of view. "What has Mr. Phipps ever done for you, me or the race outside of giving $100 to the Negro Club Women and $100 to the N. A. A. C. P?" This in substance was the query made by Mr. Moore whom we are glad to see has courage enough to ask what he wants to know, even at a political meeting possibly of his opposite faith and action. The race that can speak for itself as organized stands higher and will be heard with more respect. Now is a most remarkable time in this respect. Ever weaker race or class has a chance for redress in the neworder to come from a gigantic world-war for democracy. It is the one great chance for our race, now the most proscribed. Every other weaker race or class can show a self-organized representative body to deal for it looking out for itself independently, through its own appointed delegation. Shall we be the one exception? Before we answer the question, suppose we say what would have been the situation of the N. A. A.C.P. and Club Women had Mr. Phipps asked the ladies and our fighting society representatives what, personally or collectively has or have the Negro or Negroes ever done for me to merit my consideration or support in a financial or moral way? In other words suppose Mr. Phipps would have measured us and our interest with the same kind of yard stick, attempted to be used in his measurement of deeds, what could we have said? What does Mr. Phipps owe us because he aspires to be and will be our next United States Senator? Does he owe us any more than we owe him? Now approaching the question with these facts considered we answer the question of Mr. Moore. What has he done for our race, you ask; well, whenever any multi-millionaire will think so much of a cause so dear to our hearts and racial development that he will not only give but will allow his name to be associated with people who can give him nothing but apreciation not even honor, the Stars says that that big hearted man whose manifold activities are so vast and helpful at least should receive the applause and whatever feeble honor we might give him. It is up to us now. Hence the National Equal Rights League gives the race the chance to get ready to represent itself as a racially mature group in the negotiations incident to this world war. The League invites and urges colored people in every community to organize an Equals Rights Democracy Leauge or committee to send a delegate to the 11th Annual Meeting of the League in Chicago, Sept 17 to 19, where the parmount issue will be the national or ganizing of colored Americans to enforce their claims to world democracy. It is the only way for our race to get on a par with the many other races which have come to our country. It is the only way for our race to be in a position to negotiate for terms at the Council Table of the Nations. We must as a race begin to get into shape at once. As the summer of 1918 is closing let us gird up our loins and get ready to sue for a "place in the sun." Bring back the days of Eliot, Smalls, Garnett, Langton and Douglass for the great opportunity! By his action of becoming a regular member of the N. A. A. C. P. he has said, he is against jim crowism, and lynching in all forms, a square deal for everyone was his motto that he, with us was willing to fight for real democracy. He by his action has placed himself on the right side of the fence. His record of employment of our race at the Steel Works (C. F. & I. and all its mining camps), his contributions to the Xmas poor fund at Zion Baptist church; his willingness to provide or assist to provide a Consumptive Sanatorium when the "Negroes got the ground" and his public effort to give an employee a chance to develop what qualities he might have lying dormant, are strong evidences of what he has done for the Negro. What have Negroes ever done for Mr. Phipps, to entitle us to ask the question? So much for that. Yours with a message growing out of 20 years of work, thought, experience and sacrifice for equal rights and respect for my race. William Monroe Trotter, Corresponding Secretary. Two colored women were chosen as delegates to the New York Republican convention and two as alternates. In Houston, Texas, 102 colored women registered so as to participate in the caucuses July 27.—The Crisis. Dr. Meade Gives War Story at Zion Sunday Night A Chance of a Lifetime Dr. Chas. L. Mead, who is known to be the best and soul stirring speakers in this city, will tell the people of Denver in the most vivid manner the different war experiences which he had at the front in France with our Negro soldiers. Every Negro who hears this war story will feel justly proud of the fact that he is a Negro. Dr. Mead is in great demand and he has consented to come before us at Zion Baptist Church Sunday night, Sept. 8, and give us first hand information about our boys. Let every man, woman and child be present upon that occasion and enjoy the treat of a lifetime. Negroes, crowd Zion as never before; go early and get a good seat, tell your neighbors and let whosoever will come and be enlightened. Mothers, sisters and sweethearts come and hear about our own; it is up to you to fill Zion Sunday night. IN TIMES LIKE THESE, GOD GIVES US MEN ON TO DEARFIELD FAIR In order that the people of Denver might have a good op portunity to see with their own eyes just what the Dearfield farmers are doing. The Denver Star will run an auto excursion to Chapelton on Saturday Sept. 21st for the sum of three dollars round trip. This rate is less than the railroad rate. The Y, W. C. A. Quartette will be in the Auto party besides Mr. Geo. W. Gross, who will be one of the speakers of the day. We know that you have heard so much about Dearfield and heard so many different kinds of stories as to what can be done there; but now you will be given an opportunity to see for yourself ONLY TWO WEEKS MORE FOR YOU TO SECURE TICKETS FROM MR. OLIVER HARD WICK. OUR MANAGER. REMEMBER that the STAR will celebrate with the farmers that day and the office will be closed so that our force can enjoy some Dearfield pumpkin pie and apple cider. Buy your tickets in ad vance for cash. Will any one of the Mr. Moore's faith and action please tell us what Waterman in all these years ever did publicly or privately for one or any amount of Negroes? When the Birth of a Nation, was here, where was he, with all his extraordinary legal powers so highly magnified by his supporters? Has he ever told us that he could be found even if nominated for Congress? Does not the Colorado Negro want men to whom they can go and urge them to protest thru our own National N. A. A. C. P? Mr. Pnipps has shown his colors, and has emphasized his stand on color prejudice, lynching, jim crow cars etc, what action or even the slightest move has Mr. Waterman ever made in the direction of letting the Negro know he half way sympathizes with him? The Midvale Steel Works, Philadelphia, employs fifty-six colored women in their ammunition works. Colored men are working day and night, making from $48 to $50 per week, including overtime. The Crisis. Now friends thru out the State and in Denver it would be a calamity for the Negro not to solidly vote Phipps; think Phipps and preach Phipps from now until the election. Tell your white friends what it means to you to have him there asour N. A. A. C. P. representative. Is it not better to have our friend from Colorado to represent us than to vote for a man who absolutely cares nothing for you, save at election times? We have never had this statement about Mr. Waterman's interest in the Negro refuted. Bring home the bacon by nominating Phipps is our last word to you for Tuesday's primaries. Put your friends who have manhood enough to come out for you in public in office. He that is ashamed of me before the primaries, The Star will meet him at the primaries and be ashamed of him there. We cannot start by stopping; we cannot make friends and hold them by neglecting their interest, we must forget our prejudices and join in and nominate and select Phipps, as our Senator.

THE REWARD Dr. DuBois says in the Sept ember Crisis—Certain honest thinkers amoung us, ask if it is not true that while we have fought our country's battle for one hundred fifty years, we have not gained our rights? There is just enough fact in this half truth to make it a whole and a very mischievous lie. No, we have not gained all our rights, but we have gained rights and gained them rapidly and effectively by our loy alty in time of trail. Five thousand Negroes fought in the Revolution; the result was the emancipation of slaves in the North and the abolition of the African slave trade. At least three thousand Negro soldiers and sailors fought in the V'ar of 1812; the results was the enfranchisement of the Negro in many Northern States and the beginning of a strong movement for general emancipation. Two hundred thousand Negroes enlisted in the Civil V'ar, and the result was the emancipation of four million slaves, and and the enfranchisement of the black man. Some ten thousand Negroes fought in the Spanish American War, and in the twenty years ensuing since that war, despite many set backs, we have doubled our land holding acreage and quadrupled our accumulated wealth. We have established a strong leadership of education and character. we have expanded our business interest and we have established the N. A. A. C P., with forty thousand members. God knows we have enough left to fight for, but any people who by loyalty and patriotism have gained what we have in four wars ought surely to have sence enough to give that same loyalty and patriotism a chance to win the fifth. COOPERATION A conference of those interested in establishing cooperative enterprises among colored people throughout the country is hereby called to meet at the office of the Crisis. Monday and Tuesday, August 26 and 27, 1918 The first session will be at 2 P.M., Monday. Experts will be in attendance and this conference is preliminary to a national conference in 1919.

SEA BUFFALO "GOOD EATING" Other Things Beside the Beefetank to Which the Nation Is Attached, May Be Made of Uses. Sirloin of sea buffalo is much esteemed in San Francisco and other Pacific coast cities, where meat of this highly valued animal is coming to market in such quantities as to lower the cost of living by keeping down the price of beef and mutton. Sea cows and sea horses have long been familiarly known, but most folks would confess themselves unacquainted with the sea buffalo. If they saw one, they would call it a whale; and no wonder, for that is the sea buffalo's other name. Some people might be prejudiced against eating whale meat, but sea buffalo steak sounds good. It is good—quite equal, in fact, to the best beef steak, and hardly distinguishable from the latter. In the market, sea buffalo tenderloin (boneless "filet") costs only 15 cents a pound; other cuts are cheaper. frouers. and sold. ed. Lat- ketbook.

WATCH FOR PARTICULARS NEW PORTRAIT OF DICKENS Engraving of Noted Author, Reverenced by Lovers of Literature, Recently Sold at Auction. A new portrait of Dickens, hitherto unknown, not only to his friends, but even to his family, is surely a rare discovery, says Christian Science Monitor, commenting on the fact that Dickensians had the pleasure of seeing its reproduction in a recent issue of their paper. The portrait, which is a crayon drawing, is signed W. J. L., initials which are believed to stand for W. J. Linton, the famous wood engraver, the author of several pictures for "A Christmas Carol" and "The Chimes." It was from Mrs. E. Lynn Linton, W. J. Linton's wife, that Dickens bought Gadshill place, but there is apparently no record that Linton ever visited Dickens there. It cannot, in fact, be determined whether this new portrait was done from life or not. It evidently has been to America at some time or other, for on the back of it appears: "New York Transfer Co., Dodd's Express, 944 Broadway, New York." The portrait was recently sold by auction in London, and is now the property of Messrs. Leegatt Bros, of Cheapside. IN MATTERS OF EDUCATION Question Where Authority for the Proper Conduct of Operations Should Be Rightly Placed. Fundamentally the determining factor in educational administration becomes today one of finance. The school superintendents declare themselves unable to raise more money locally than is already furnished. The whole question of educational finance in relation to local taxation has not yet been adequately considered to determine the validity of such statements. Without going further into this problem an agitation has been begun for securing aid from the federal government. It is argued that the federal authority today is in a better position for levying taxes than is the local authority, that the nation as a whole is likely to suffer unless national measures are adopted for combating illiteracy, Americanizing the immigrant, and improving the physique of the citizens, and finally that teachers may now be regarded as performing service of national importance—New Republic. A Considerable Amount. A certain little village in the West stands some distance from the nearest good supply of pure water, and Patrick is the man who transports barrels of drinking water to the homes of the village. One day, says Chicago Herald, as Patrick halted at the top of the river bank, a man famous for his inquisitive mind stopped and asked: "How long have you hauled water for the village, my good man?" "Tin years, sor." "Ah, how many loads do you take in a day?" "From tin to fifteen, sor?" "Ah, yes! Now, I have a problem for you. How much water at this rate have you hauled in all?" The driver of the water cart jerked his thumb backward toward the river and replied: "All the water yez don't see here now, sor." Bird Songs. It was the morning of June 20. I stood at the gate of the farmhouse where three roads met, and the air was full of bird songs. For a long time I stood there and tried to note how many different songs I could hear. Near by were the alto joy-notes of the Baltimore orlede. Up from the meadow where the trout flowed came the bubbling, gurgling notes of the bobolink. Robins, wood thrushes, song sparrows, chipping sparrows, bluebirds, vireos, gold finches, chebees, indigo birds, flickers, phoebes, red-winged black-birds, scarlet tanagers, catbirds, house wrens—altogether, without moving from my place. I counted 33 different bird songs and bird notes—Samuel Scarville, Jr., in Atlantic Something Doin' What is the remedy for shyness? What is the shy man to do in order that he may be shy no longer? The remedy is simple, and is to be found by consideration of the cause. The shy person is shy in the presence of strangers only. Let him have no opportunity of meeting strangers, and let the opportunity be abolished not by abolition of the meetings, but by abolition of the strangeness. In other words, shy persons are those who in early life had not practice and no experience in meeting strangers, and so having the attention of strangers directed to them and attracted to them. If the meeting with strangers becomes customary it loses its strangeness. As a Gentleman! Little brother accompanied his mamma on a visit to some friends in Chicago, and included in the entertainment of the visitor was a luncheon at one of the fashionable cafea. Little brother was taken along because there was no place to "check" him. "Now, brother," said mamma, "you see this beautiful place and all these lovely ladies—you are the only man present, and I want you to be very polite and act just like your father would if he was here." "Well," said brother, "I guess I'll take a cigarette." Enterprise. "How far can you travel on a gallon of gasoline?" "Not as far as I used to," replied Mr. Chuggins. "But I'm hoping to reduce the expense by developing a byproduct. The gasoline is so oily and the roads are so rough that with a little care we ought to make every trip yield a good churning of axle grease." Easily Arranged. One beautiful summer night, when the crickets were chirping in the grass and the caterpillars were dropping from the trees, John Henry turned to the charming girl who was sitting on the veranda at his side. "Edith," said he timorously, "there comes to me a thought, I might say a fear." "Well, what is it?" queried the fair girl, as the other hesitated. "I suppose," responded John Henry, suggestively, hopefully, "that were I to steal a kiss you would have me arrested? "Perhaps," was the ready rejoinder of the girl, "but you could find somebody to pay your fine, couldn't you?" Discipline. "The discipline in base hospitals in France precludes social relations between nurses and enlisted men. This is occasionally carried to extremes, as evidenced by the following incident. A certain nurse was found ringing the doorbell of the officers' quarters early one morning. When asked what she wanted, she replied that the villa in which she and the other nurses were quartered was on fire. After the fire had been extinguished, she was asked why she didn't give the alarm at once, instead of running the long distance to the officers' quarters. Her reply was: 'We aren't allowed to speak to enlisted men.'—From the Journal of the American Medical Association.

Vale stand tied to the principles of human rights against special privileges to any special class? Will he, when in Washington pay any attention to the N. A. A. C. P. of Denver and of Nation, when asked to act? Will he, if nominated and Elected be the same Wm. N. Vale to you and I then, as now? Will he and help us secure Negro appointments to positions in Washington if they are eligible and capable? To all these questions the Star answers "Yes," that from our knowledge on the candidate, we believe that he will ring true. Get behind him and talk his name to your friends. Negroes only put your friends in office. The Star thinks this man is really on the square from his heart and not from his lips. JUST USE COMMON SENSE The people of Colorado and especially some Negroes will have to choose between Mr. L. C. Phipps and Mr. Chas. W. Waterman for the nomination for the U. S. Senate. To the Star the Negro duty is clear. Both gentlemen are Republicans; both able men and both white. Does the race owe either Phipps or Waterman anything for favors or services? Who is prejudiced; who is not; who is friendly, who is not; who has helped the greatness of our race or individuals and who has not; who has given to our race and has shown interest in us, not by "hot airy words" but by actual deeds and who has not; who has helped our churches, club women, Y. M. C. A. and who has not? Mr. Waterman does not even claim that he has ever done anything or that he will ever do anything for you or I, if nominated. Judge him by his past record and the Negro loses, if he votes for principles. There is no other way than to nominate our true and tried friend, Hon. L. C. Phipps for the U. S. Senate. To those who are going to vote the Democratic Ticket the Star says that there is no way out of it but to vote for James R. Noland for Secretary of State and Julius C. Gunter for Governor. He needs every vote that he can get to support his war record and if you believe that he did the right thing by giving us two colored companies with officers, September 10th is the time to show it. Let us not be ungracious. Rev. J. R. Rader, Republican Candidate for Representative. Rev. Rider is well known to the congregation of Scott M. E. Church, the Church pastored for more than one year and a half, while they were without a pastor from Lincoln Conference. He has held our funerals, preached for us, addressed and encouraged us and helped us in innumerable ways. The congregation there always appreciated him and love to hear him. Now he is a candidate for the State Assembly. The Star thinks he will make a good representative especially when our interests were jepardized. Vote for Rader the 17th on the ballot Republicans. He merits your vote. Protest, my brother, and grumble. I have seen the Visun and it shall not fade. We want victory for ourselves—dear God, how terribly we want it—but it must not be cheap bargaining, it must be clean and glorious, won by our manliness and not by the threat of the footpad. In the day of our lowest travail we did not murder children and rape women to bring our freedom nearer. We played the game and freedom came. So, too, today our souls are ours, our bodies belong to our country. Patience, then, without compromise; silence without surrender; grim determination never to cease striving until we can vote, travel, learn, work and enjoy in peace—all this, and yet with it and above it all the tramp of our armies over the blood-stained lilies of France to show the world again what the loyalty and bravery of black men means.—The Crisis. --- 4 $2.00 1.00 .50 in rate, all subscriptions must be paid is sent to subscribers are lost or stolen, or when due, inform us by postal card cate of the missing number.

Outside our Civil Rights Bill what other law is so vital to Negroes? This is our country! We have worked for it, we have suffered for it, we have fought for it; we have made its music, we have tinged its ideals, its poetry, its religion, its dreams; we have reached in this land our highest modern development and nothing, humanly speaking, can prevent us from eventually reaching here the full stature of our manhood. Our country is at war. The war is critisitic is OUR COUNTRY, this is OUR WAR. We must fight it with every ounce of blood and treasure.-Crisis. August 31, 1918. Mr. George G. Ross, Mrs. The Dapper Star 1026 19th St., Denver, Colo., My dear Mr. Ross: As you know, I am a candidate for nomination for the high office of Governor at the Democratic Primaries to be held thru out the State September 10, 1918. If I have rendered service to the State and the Nation thru legislation, organization for war activities or otherwise, and if the people of this State deem it wise to continue my services in the important trust as Governor of Colorado for another term, I will feel proud and honored to assume the duty, especially under the grave conditions now obtaining I will appreciate your taking a personal interest in my candidacy. As you know, to make this interest effective, our friends must be gotten out at the Primary election. I hope you will call the attention of our friends to the importance of the Primary election and will otherwise take an interest in it. The Anti-Discrimination Bill became law because our Governor signed He made two colored men captains with pay and attending honors. He deserves our full support. Vote for him. "No man who looks down on his fellowman is fit to govern him."—Moorfield Storey. If you believe that Governor Gunter did right by recognizing the Negro from a military standpoint you should show it by your appreciative vote for him in the primaries.

Each state has two senators acting as members of the Board of Directors. On their wise or unwise action depends the lives of our millions of red-blooded soldiers, sailors and marines, and the whole future of our nation. Thousands of the most capable and efficient business men in America are devoting all or part of their time to help our fighting men and allied nations win a quick, decisive victory. If the success or failure to win the war depends upon the ability of trained business executives, to carry out the laws made by congress and the senate, why not send the ablest and most efficient trained business man available to represent Colorado in the United States Senate. Lawrence C. Phipps has all of the qualifications necessary to represent Colorado in the United States Senate at this time. If he is selected as the Republican candidate at the primary, September 10th, and elected, he will devote all of his time and business ability to the faithful performance of his duty. EDITORIAL REFLECTIONS. E. Whitney Kyle. Life has its dry places. Patience is bitter but its fruit is sweet. The cross is the measure of a man's worth. At bottom, man is an animal; midway he is a citizen; at the top he is consciously divine. Human actions can be modified to one extent, but human nature can never be changed. Impulsiveness i not always to be deplised. The right kind of an impulsive man is the one who acts at once on his impulses to do the right thing. The genius of preaching is truth in personality. Mighty is the written word of God, but the Word never conquered until it was made flesh. When the whole life is shot through with the purpose of full obedience, then the slavery of practicing enlarges into the freedom of preaching out of a full-orbed life. We look to politicians for reform when it must begin in our hearts. Those who know most know best that the devil presents himself as the angel of light, and that sin, in its most seductive form, arrays itself in the garb of pleasure. He who follows the devil's lurid light, will find before long that ruin will follow close upon the heels of self-indulgence, and sorrow will become the ghost of joy. Truth is always straightforward. It is not only reward that needs to uphold the heels of virtue. Mostly the virtue in itself is all the visible reward. To know that it is no defeat to stand for the right; to feel the victor's joy when one has stood up against the pressure or oppression for what he knows is the righteous thing to do. Even when the reward comes after a while in the substantial form of advancement, the joy of victory comes first and stands ahead of all the others always. In the final judgment it will be observed that the condemnation comes to those who did it not. Men are not condemned for murder, lying, thieving and adultery, but because they did not the plain duties of life. This includes not only the sinner, but the professing and non acting professor as well. Possession and not profession saves. There are more than 6,000,000 Africans among the 17,000,000 people in Brazil, and many of them the crudest type of Negro on the American hemisphere. Why has God seen fit to put 12 millions of Negroes in the U. S. and geographically divide us in such a manner? The Negro must close ranks and come in closer touch one with the other for commercial and other reasons. Cuba, Haiti and Santo Domingo bid us close ranks. N. A. A. C. P. IN TACOMA AND SEATTLE TAKE NOTICE We have received many complaints from our drafted boys that one lieut Gray, who hails from the South, gave the boys to understand that though they were to fight for real democracy vet he wanted them to keep away from the Y. M. C. A. tables, not to be seen too often at the little store where the boys buy refreshments and because the white boys don't want to wait on the "Negroes." He was from the South and did not believe in the races mixing, etc. We are asking that you investigate and report if such an officer did make that statement to mer whom he expects to control. We will withhold our comment and action until you report. Our Colorado people feel keenly touched over this alleged attempted discrimination and Jim Crow remarks. Let us hear from you. To whom it may concern: The Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church kindly asks that any one knowing of children in the vicinity where you live that do not attend any Sunday School or church, please notify by dropping a card to No. 438 29th St. Mrs. C. A. Bates, Supt., S. S., or to 3158 Champa St., to Mr. H. Jackson, Asst. Supt. 4 t. pd-7-27-18. Negroes register at the Court House now if you want to vote at the primaries and at the state election. Why some Negro did not aspire to run as a representative on either ticket is more than the Star can fathom, especially during these war times. Denver certainly has some wise political leaders.! OUR CRUSE OF OIL. A QUARTER IS ONE CENT MORE THAN A MARK. THE YANK IS WORTH TWO OF THE HUN; BUT A WAR THRIFT STAMP PUTS OIL IN THE LAMP THAT WILL BURN AFTER VIC TORY'S WON. It also appears to me that when prejudices persist obstinately it is the fault of nobody so much as those who make a point of proclaiming them insuperable as an excuse for never joining in an attempt to remove them. Any prejudice whatever will be insurmountable if those who do not share in it themselves truckle to it and flatter it and accept it as a law of nature.—John Stuart Mills. Never think of yourself as the victim of circumstances. To do so is to make yourself the victim of every adversity that you may encounter. Know that you have the power to change and control circumstances. Exercise that power and soon things will begin to change for the better.—Efficiency. "No other race, black or white, when bound as they were to the rack, so seldom stooped to grieving. No other race when free again forgot the past and proved them men so noble in forgiving." From the landing of Christopher Columbus to the Altruistic President, Woodrow Wilson, no Negro has been tried for treason or punished for disloyalty. What a sublime record! We are today a race of Abou Ben Adhems, in constant loyal service to our brother in white, even if ingratitude be our recompense and broken promises our reward. It is a grand thing to live in Colorado among her snow-capped peaks, to open the eyes in the morning in her cool, refreshing and invigorating atmosphere and look out upon the world, to drink in deeply nature's rarest gems and then enjoy the sweet sunshine, to feel the pulse bound and being thrill with the consciousness of strength and power in every nerve: it is a good thing simply to be alive in Colorado and it is a good world to live in, in spite of the abuse we are fond of giving it. The STAR cannot see how some people are willing to vote for some man who has never done anything for the Negro and not advocate and hence encourage a friend who has actually helped us. When the Negro will get to the place he—himself—will look out for himself and race first—he will be considered more. What real recognition has been given the Negro in the state anyway? Real progress will call for cool so Real progress will call for cool, so ber thinking.

POLITICAL GEMS When you vote for Phipps you vote for a man who knows where he stands and for a man brave enough to carry out his convictions. Did you know that the roll of membership of certain churches was copied and you who have received "Waterman" circulars, wonder how much you were sold for. Well resent it by voting for Phipps and Valie. Mr. Voter don't you know that a well known business man of large interests can attract other men of large interests to invest in Colorado?. Like beets like and if you want Colorado well represente', nominate Phipps. Why does not Colorado get more national representatives in governmental activities, did you ever think of the reason? Answer by you vote. If Liberty and equality live in Denver, Colorado and in the Nation, you have to back it up with liberal-minded square-daling and business thinking men. Therefore nominate Lawrence C. Phipps for the U. S. Senate. A man is known by the company he keeps—take a casual glance over the Phipps' supporters and his opponents' boosters—nuff 'ced. We are calling special attention to Mesdame Winnie Anderson of Washington Ave. and Mesdame M. Morrison of Welton St., who are doing an excellent business selling Real Hair Grower and treating the Scalp. WILLIAM N. VAILE. Republican candidate for Congress thinks that the war is a world's struggle for political ideals. To win it and perpetuate the right kind of politics, he shall work for the best of Food, Equipment and Medical Attention for our soldiers; National Suffrage for Women and National Prohibition. He shall oppose profiteering either by producer, distributor or public utilities. This is his platform for Primaries, Sept. 10, and Election on November 5, and it sounds good to the Star. [Image of a man with a hat and a necktie]. Heavy bombardment of big places requires big guns o f great calibre for efficiency and success, therefore nominate and elect Philips for senate.

HE THAT SUCCEEDS IN UPLIFTING THE FALLEN, RESTORING THEM TO A HEALTHY SOCIAL STATUS, IS ENDOWED WITH A VISION THAT MAKES HIM THE PARAGON OF CITIZENSHIP: M. B. THOMAS J. TYNAN The Hon. Thomas Tynan has proven himself to be 100% efficient as a business man, as well as a humanitarian. We understand his position to be that property rights consists of all that just laws entitles the possessor, but Human rights are sacred. In rescuing criminals from the sloughs of crime, it has not only been an effort in his realm of activity but an accomplished fact in the large majority of cases. He is more written and talked of by eminent sociologists, and criminologists than any manager of any penal institute we know of. He uplifts men regardless of creed, or Color, because they are all human and brothers. This in itself is marvelous—it is the Masters own work. He is as well, and possibly the best informed man in our State, on the rational application of just taxation. A reasonable profit to corporations, at the same time protecting the people from their rapacious gouging. We have reason to believe if he is nominated, and elected, the prevailing method of years, of appointing Colored citizens to nothing better than messengers and janitors will cease. The present Governor of this State is absolutely devoid of the spirit of Democracy. He pets, and fawns, on the profiteering exploiters of the plain people. If you have grown tired of flattery, and sophistry, in public services turn to a man that has demonstrated sterling qualities. He has grown too large for his present position, and if placed in a larger field of usefulness, who knows but he may develop the statesman like vision of a Lincoln, the justice loving tenacity of a Garrison, and a sublime sympathy for the miserable of a Victor Hugo. It is his school of thinkers that invariably produce this kind of public servant. Therefore, register, and go to your precincts September 10th and do an honorable service to yourselves, and your Commonwealth, by voting for THOMAS J.

UM CO Denver, Colorado 5 PMCHES MAIN 7413 7414 1360 Hazel Court Church News PRESBYTERIAN CLERGYMAN DE CLINES CALL in the spring of 1918 Rev. J. A. Thos-Hazell, pastor of the People's Presbyterian Church, received a call to the pastorate of the Calvary Presbyterian Church, Topeka, Kansas. The minister made public the call to the congregation of the People's Church and his desire to accept the same. At the very outset the members of the People's Church were opposed to the minister accepting the call. Members of the Presbytery of Denver declared their intention to fight the attempt to dissolve the pastoral relationship between Rev. Thos-Hazell and the congregation of the People's Church. After repeated efforts by the pastor to induce the congregation to unite with him in making the request of the Presbytery for the dissolution of their marriage relationship, the members of the church became more obstinate in their opposition. Consequently the pastorate of the Calvary Presbyterian Church was compelled to turn down the call and remain incumbent of his present charge in Denver. Rev. J. A. Thos-Hazell announces to public his continuance of religious business at the old familiar stand at Central Avenue and Washington street. He hopes to see his old friends and all the members of the Church work together for a greater work along the line of Presbyterianism in Denver. The Star is glad that the question as to whether the pastor would go or stay has been happily settled as we think it is best for all concerned. No matter who would come as pastor of the church, certain weakness would develop and yet we knock that the People's Presbyterian Church could get a pastor far inferior in every respect than the present incumbent. Forgetting what has taken place in the past and remembering the vital interest of the Church and people and with an eye on the future, Rev. Hazell again assumes the reign of leadership and welcomes the people to his congregation. People's Presbyterian Church will begin to grow from now on. MT.

COLORED NURSES TO BE USED IN ARMY CAMPS. Orders Issued by War Department Makes Opening for Hundreds at Six Base Hospitals in This Country. Many May go Overseas. Washington, D. C., July 22, 1918. The War Department authorizes the following statement from Emmett J. Scott, special assistant to the Secretary of War: Orders were issued today by the War Department to the office of the Surgeon General, which will enable colored nurses who have been registered by the American Red Cross Society, to render service for their own race in the Army. Colored nurses will be assigned to the base hospitals now established at Camp Funston, Fort Riley, Kansas; Camp Grant, Rockford, Illinois; Camp Dodge, Des Moines, Iowa; Camp Taylor, Louisville, Ky.; Camp Sherman, Chillicothe, Ohio and Camp Dix, Wrightstown, N. J. At these camps a total of about 38,000 colored troops are stationed. General Pershing has been asked by cable whether the services of colored nurses known as usscape on pazijin are two the American Expeditionary Forces. Y. M. C. A. NOTES. The Y. M. C. A. regretted the absence of any entertainment for the forty odd drafted men who went a way to Camp Lewis last Sunday. The omission was due altogether to the fact that not until within twelve hours of entrainment was the secretary abet those who were going. It was then too late for any plans of entertainment, and all that he could do was to call up the pastors and inform them of the fact, and request them to ask as many of their congregations as could do so to go down and see the boys off, permission having been secured from the Board to allow the friends to go through to the train. As a result, a large number of friends went down and gave the boys a cheerful send-off. It was for the same reason also that the War Work Council could not arrange for an escort. The Rev. Harrabellio A. Marangeopa, a native of Madagascar, was the speaker at the meeting on Sunday afternoon. Mr. Marangeopa was educated in England, and has traveled over the entire globe, and speaks five languages and several dialects. The speaker held the audience spellbound for fully an hour telling of his experiences and of deliverances from death that led him to devote the remainder of his life to the service of mankind. Croquet plays have had many thrills this week, the juniors playing on the north yard and the seniors on the east. Not until the semi-finals have been played will it really be known just who the real champion is. Many are claiming that title now.

Hardy, who has been appointed to look after Mr. Phippi's senatorial interests as concerns the Negroes, returned from his southern trip thru the state, he brat the delightful message about the deep interest the Negroes in Walsen, Rouge, Trinidad, Pueblo, and Colo. Springs were taking in attempting to help nominate and elect "our friends" to face. Clubs were formed in each city and responsible men left in charge and they pledge nothing but a Phippi's victory. It is strongly felt and thought here in Denver that Mr. Gross will handle this county for Mr. Phipps and the Women Phipps Clubs may be handled by some of our women. Complete harmony is existing and Mr. Hardy already has the volunteered assurance of many of our popular and prominent pastors of this city who want to see a colored man make good and get the credit. Time is now ripe when the Negro must get credit for work done among Negroes. It is not too early for us to have joint Executive Committeeemen and women and representatives in the district. Why should any person other then a Negro get credit for votes in Negro districts; why should they get jobs out our strength? Keep on talking Phipps while Hardy works.

Three daring escapes made by British army deserter with ten convictions against him—all for crimes of violence—were described at Oldstreet a few days ago, relates London Chronicle. The man, George Mullins, was sentenced to six months' imprisonment in January, 1917, and was sent to Wandsworth. There he was trained for the army and taken to France in handcuffs. In a few weeks he contrived to get leave and, returning to England, deserted. He was arrested last April, but, although handcuffed, he escaped from his escort. After a brief spell of liberty Mullins was again captured, and with five others was put in the guardroom at Wandsworth prison. While the others danced and sang at the top of their voices Mullins cut a hole in the wall and all the six escaped. In the following May the man was again arrested, and taken this time to Bethnal Green police station, where he was placed in a newly built cell. Again he managed to escape by loosening a number of bricks, climbing through a ventilator and dropping down a water pipe into the street. The other night Mullins was arrested by Detective Sharp in Stepney. A big and violent crowd, the officer said, gathered and pelted the detective and his colleagues with stones, weights, coal, and "anything they could lay their hands on." The police, however, got away. Mullins is now sentenced to two months' hard labor as a deserter and for damaging Bethnal Green police station. EPIGRAM THAT HAS FORCE Terse Statement as to Value of Man in the World's Commercial Operations. There is a moral for all who will seek it in the story of a Minnesota banker, who has made a success of life notwithstanding the handicap that both legs, his left arm and the fingers of his right hand are missing. His career was appropriately reviewed in Carry On, a magazine published in the interest of the reconstruction of disabled soldiers and sailors. The essence of this man's success is contained in his whimsical statement of his philosophy. "From his neck down," he says, "a man is worth about a dollar and a half a day; from his neck up he may be worth a hundred thousand dollars a year." The facts of this statement apply as forcibly to a man with all his limbs as to a cripple. They constitute the chief reason why vocational education is increasing in popularity and why child labor and compulsory education laws are being made increasingly severe. It is a fortunate epigram which has been made by this cripple of peace for the benefit of the cripples of war. The part of the man "from the neck up" knows no limitations except self-imposed ones.—Portland Oregonian. Emotions and the Eye. The thing we look at straightest and most steadily is the eye of the man or woman who talks to us. And no emotion changes the glistening of that eye. Yet, so unobservant are we all, especially descriptive novelists, that eyes, in fiction, always flash, and no doubt will always flash, under the stress of any kind of rage. The assassin of the surgeon in Paris the other day went to his deed, as we read in the fictitious part of the report of a witness, with eyes that flashed according to custom. Now the human eye has two places for flashing—one in the clear pupil, showing one point of light or more according to the light or lights reflected; the other in the white. Neither of these brightnesses depends upon the mind. Pharaoh's Serpent's Egg Trick. One of the most amusing tricks in fireworks is the serpent's egg trick, where a little pellet when lighted turns into a horrible snake, many, many times the size of the pellet. How awesipring it is to the youngsters! Most people have no idea what in the world causes the snake to appear. The explanation is simple. Mercury sulphcyanid burns with a voluminous ash. The little pellet is nothing more than some mercury sulphcyanid. The heat causes the ash to move off so quickly from the burning pellet that it writhes and distorts itself into the shape of a miniature snake. Radium In Sea Salt Samples of sea salt collected during a recent voyage in the Pacific and subantarctic regions have been examined for their radium content. The amount of radium was found to be negligibly small compared with values that have been found in others collected near land, and this result is in accordance with the prevailing view that the radium content of sea salt diminishes with increase of distance from land.

Pitt, who preached economy and forced it on the people, was himself a notorious spendthrift. For a long time (while warden of the Clique port) his income was £10,000 a year, and it never fell below £6,000. Yet he was always hard up, and when he died the nation, in the throes of a great war, had to find some £40,000 to satisfy his creditors. Examinations of Pitt's household budgets—made from time to time at his own request—showed such items as a hundredweight of butcher's meat consumed in a single week—or, more accurately, charged to Pitt's account. —London Chronicle. Wouldn't Mix In That "Howdy, 'Squire!'" saluted a younger neighbor. "Me and wife have got into a sort of a jangle over naming our baby. It's our first, and I spose we're more particular about it than folks who have a bunch of 'em. Wife, she is set and determined to name him after her side of the house, and I'm sticking and hanging for him to be named after one of my kin. Now, if you'll come over and settle it for us we'll—" "Now, looky here, Lucas!" interrupted old man Backledaffer. "While I hate peace as much as anybody, and more than a good many, I haint't so absolutely senseless and foolhardy as all that!"—Kansas City Sun. Knowledge Gained by Experience. A young ensign, acting as school teacher on the battleship Texas, says Philadelphia Public Ledger, asked the question: "What are the two principal parts of a sentence?" He expected, of course, to get the answer, "Subject and predicate." The old "salt" who was called on scratch'd his head in perplexity and at last replied: "Solitary confinement and bread and water."

Let every Negro display and wear in some form the colors of the United States as a token to honor our drafted boys. If we are going to be patriotic, let us be so. If we are going to do the thing let us do it with all our heart, mind and soul—just 100% American that's all. Attend the patriotic gatherings and follow the boys to the trains. Encourage and boost them. Whenever any man cares enough about you or your organization that he is willing to subscribe or does subscribe his aid and support, he deserves more than any other man who "gives you lip service and hot air." We know that our candidate, Mr. Phipps, for the U. S. Senate, and Secretary of State Noland, are members of the N. A. A. C. P.

The Spirit of '88 The World Cry food! Cultivate the Soil ALIBI PROVED FOR PRETZEL Now comes the lowly pretzel before the bar of public opinion in a valorous attempt to remove the stigma of German origin. It has delved deep into ancient history to prove its alibi and upon the face of the evidence presented it has made out a reasonable case for itself. Indignantly does the pretzel deny that it sprang from unhallowed association with German beer; that use it declares is a desecration of its originally high birth, a degradation characteristically Teutonic. The pretzel insists that it is inherently a baked prayer, for in the early day of the Christian church the pretzel was used almost exclusively as a reward of merit given by a priest to children for learning their prayers. In the monasteries of the middle ages the pretzel was considered a rare delicacy, and during lent it was, the usual alms offering. Furthermore, the very crookedness of the pretzel to a crushing argument against its calamniiators for it represents the arms folded in prayer. Thus stands the case for the sanctity of the humble pretzel. SUPREME IN INSECT MIMICRY Really Wonderful Act of Caterpillar Shows Nature's Protection Thrown Around Innocents. I witnessed a quaint little scene on a blackthorn bush in Epping forest a day or two ago, writes "L. F" in Manchester (Eng). Guardian. It is well known that many species of caterpillars so closely resemble the brown, barked stems, while others, being green, fix themselves to the new green stems of the current year's growth. Among the blackthorn twigs I observed one young member of the darker species sticking out, rigid and motionless, at the orthodox angle of 45 degrees, from apparently a young green shoot. On closer examination I discovered that the young green shoot was itself a caterpillar sticking out at an angle of 45 degrees. What had happened was obvious. The disguise of the green caterpillar was so perfect that even another caterpillar—itself a master in the art of twig limitation—had palpably been completely deceived and mistaken the green caterpillar for a twig. Surely this is a triumph of insect mimicry. Going Far Back Into Ancient History It Can Be Proved That It Was Not of German Origin. The historic Society of the Cincinnati, oldest of the American-patriotic organizations, was founded by officers of the Continental forces and of the French army and fleet which aided us in gaining our independence at the close of the Revolutionary war, 1755 years ago. Washington was its first president general. Hamilton the second, and on its original rolls appear the names of many others who gained fame for their services in the cause of liberty. Its membership, composed of the eldest, male descendants of these officers, now numbers about 1000. FOR THE HAIR WHY NOT GROW YOUR HAIR?

The third one said I will pay you tomorrow if I live to see it; he went blind. Rev. T. J. Ross and wife, of Boise, Idaho stopped over in our city a few days en route to Helena, Montana to the Annual Conference, and while here were the guests of Rev. J. A. Duncan and wife. Mr. W. M. Robinson, of 732 S. 2d. avenue has given his residence a remodeling. Miss Willie Caldwell of Brownwood, Texas is in the city and sends a big hello to her Texas friends through the columns of this paper. It is with a profound degree of regret that a few members and a host of friends of the A. M. E. Church give up Rev. J. A. Duncan and his accomplished wife, whose 11 months' of service here have been much a power for good to the church. Rev. Duncan preached his farewell sermon Sunday night September 1st to a crowded house, and it was one of the greatest sermons of his 11 months' work in Pocatello and will be long remembered. A farewell party was given for his benefit at the church last Thursday night by Mrs. Annie Laster, and it was a success. The Baptist people have organized a Baptist church here with Rev. W.
