ANOTHER LESSON.


Then. too. comes another very
important lesson to our people. The
Negro laborer outside the benefits
and projections of organized labor
finds himself not only handicapped
in the chance of obtaining remu-
nerative employment, but he is
handicapped in that he receives less
for his work and must pay the
same price for the necessities OF
life that union labor does. Union
labor sets price on its services and
holding the cudgel of the strike =
over the heads of the manufacturer
and producer receives 1t. This, very
naturally. has the legitimate result
of higher prices, which must be
paid by the non-union consumer
along with the other fellows. The
Negro. except in the case of the hod
carriers. receive less for their work,
vet paws the same price as the
union laborer for his living. 1t is
all very well to protest against hgh
prices. but we must first do all in
our power to meet existing condi-
tions and not remain idle lockers
on The work of our men right
here in Denver is circumscrlbed
through organized labor 1t re-
mains for us to lift this burden.
Will we try?
PASSING OF WHEELER.
tThe evil men do live after
them," says the noted English
bard. The news comes that John
w. Wheeler, for twenty-five years
editor of the st. Louis Palladium,
is dead. The passing of Wheeler
marks the demise of a really big
man of the race The rise of jour
nalism among our people has
brought out many strong men. Men
whose lives have been devoted to
the uplift Of people during STIR
ring times. Wheeler was Negro
colossus thrown up by the volcano
of reconstruction With him the
sledge hammer was mightier than
the pen, and he wrote, preached
and labored in a sledge hammer
fashion. He was through his paper
one of the best known men of Mis-
| souri and like many another Negro
editor has "gone hence" with only
the stigma of what he should have
done ranking in the minds OF the
people. The Negro editor is the
least in consideration among his

was almost Invariably represented by
them as the kinsman OF sleep. The
Greeks presented It as Thaf1af0s, eld-

sometimes depicted Death and Sleep

is usually accustomed to look upon
