WHAT WILL THE NEGRO GET?

The election is over, the commits
sioners have taken their seats, the
Supreme court has declared that
commission form of government is
legal and after all of that has been
done, what about the Negro voter who
participated in the election by vot-
ing for some of the successful candi-
dates? AS far as we can learn not
three appointments have been made.
We are not going to be satisfied with
janitor jobs or messengerships when
among us there are capable young
boys and girls who can fill other posi-
tions better and more creditably. So
our advice to the young Negroes is
to put these men on record, use your
friends to get the most capable, de-
serving and representative Negro
man or woman to share in the bene-
fits as we'll as shoulder the burdens.
Don't take NO for an answer, bring
all kinds of influence and pressure
and force them to face the issue
squarely. This is not the only elec-
tion and some day some one of the
commissioners may be recalled. Go
to the front and see the main man,
THE COMMISSIONER HIMSELF 1t
remains with the Negro what he gets
and If he is then satisfied. Out Of
all the jobs and positions in the city,
and nothing really definite and repre-
sentative landed yet-think of it!

er was sheriff once before,
these same conditions obtain

places (dives) ran openly!! If
a dive is a disorderly place,
close it up and we suggest ALL
be closed and be made to re-
main closed. 1t. is ardently
declared in the article that the
association of different races
will not be permitted, especial
ly in saloons. What right or
authority have you to 60 in a
business mans place, dictate
to and order him to sell to
Japs, Cinnamon, Blacks or
whites and no others, is hard
for US to see and understand.
The licence that permits
saloon man to sell his wet
articles is recognized under
the law the same as the mer-
chant, coal dealer or grocer
and you might have just as
we'll attempted to regulate
their sales as to try to limit
and restrict his sales to vari
Gus persons of the human
race. No such right comes to
you in law or through your
office. Why call public
place where different races
assemble and frequent, "BlacK
and Tan" any more than call
the pest office, city hall or
city park. Mr.. commits
sioner we repeat, because
possibly in your anxiety. ito

honestly made a mistake by
beginning and ending on the
negroes and unintentionally
put all kinds of bands and
restrictions upon their liber-
ties and pursuits of happi-
ness. Injustice begets Unjust
ice which will justify itself
afterwards. Therefore. we
ask you, as the new commits
sioner of Public safety for alb
to go slow as you will find
you cannot solve the race
question by Determinations
which only tend to aggra-
vate and not solve any situa-
ton, even though prejudices
may be appeased temporary.

partment l propose to see that she
keeps clean front. l have given
orders to wipe out all such joints
as these. l do not want to see
the city degraded in the eyes of
our visitors, but, even if Denver
had no convention in sight, it is
time for these plague spots of i'm
morality to go.
That Denver should be rid
of her divers block and while
there is no dispute and we
rather agree with him and
glorify in his effort, if all the
dives go black and white like
wise, that Denver's moral at
mosphere should be clarified,
there is no question and yet it
should be done in an orderly
way and not with an attempt,
on the part of the officials, to
get cheap notoriety at the ex-
pense of the negro. We are
here not to defend the dives
or immoral persons, yet even
they have rights and liberties
which must be respected
under our government. Is
the Commissioner of Public
Safety using his office to fur
ther and spread his personal
race hate, prejudice, venom, or
caprices? Or are his friends
prejudices creeping in up
on him and have SO in
fluenced his action? We hope
neither is the case. We have
always believed him to be fair
because of his seemingly fair
treatment of the negro and
think yet he is honest but
merely mistaken. Com
missioner Nisbet, doubtless,
Knows that any order pro-
mulgated and based upon a
discrimination of any kind,
either in race hate, color, sex
or previous conditions and not
upon thrift, character, industry
or morality, no matter what
are the apparent temporary
flattering advantages, the
principal or foundation is bad
and hence it follows, the prac-
tice is bad and likewise the
results. The race or person
against whom such slam is
directed suffer and it is they
and they alone who suffer.
Make your lines as tight
and rigid as you desire on
cearacter, moral or intel
Iigenee and apply it, alike and
we will join you. But for you
to arbitrarily promulgate in the
columns of the daily papers,
whose influence extends all
over the city, county, state
and country, emily advertises
the slams and besides inviting
other slams, encourages
others ito get one better"
Such action and ADVERTISE
ment is not necessary for en-
forcement uf the laws, neither
ito close a dive. So it is in
this way, by the advertisement
route. that the negro or in
dividual pays the price and
constantly and continuously
pays it dearly. 1t is odd that
now such an order is made,
The Denver star., 1913-06-28

Discriminating criticism is good
for any race, but the kind that comes
without knowledge is a nuisance.
Criticism which follows study for
information is worth while; indeed
it is the life blood of progress, but
the kind that comes from envy or
jealousy or ill-will is a disgrace to
any community.

Many people in Lordsburg are MOURN
ing the death Of an old friend, one
to whom they had paid thousands Of
dollars, and had done business with
from childhood. Last Saturday
Montgomery Ward died, aged seventy
years. Mr.. Ward was the original
mail order merchant. He organized
the firm of Montgomery Ward & Co.,
as an adjunct of Changers, which was
a secret society composed Of farmers
in the northern and western states,
whose whole object in life was to put
the middle man out Of existance. The
Changers waned, but the firm Of
Montgomery Ward & Co. prospered.
1t had discovered something new In
merchandising, and something that
took with the people, and 1t grew In
to an immense establishment under
his watchful care, and probably viii
continue 10 be one Of the great mer.
chandising establishments Of the
world. His scheme was not patented,
and many other firms followed him In
the particular line OF business, and
marketing by mail, discovered by
Montgomery Ward, will always be a
force TO contend with In the mer-
chandislng trade.

DIR. Croker was called out to the
river Sunday to see R. II. Woods. He
secured the services Of Nick Hughes,
new Ford and his chauffeur to take
him out, and he had some interesting
experiences Ia automobiling. This
Ford has a special liking for soto
weeds, and will leave the road any
time to run into one. On the road it
saw one, and butted into it, bending
the steering apparatus, so the car was
hard to steer. There were no more
sotos insight, and the chauffeur gave
her plenty Of gas and was hitting the
road at a good gain when he struck a
bunch of sand. A nan who saw the
tracks made by the machine declared
it must have s~kyrooted. The doctor
said when the machine stopped 1t was
pointed towards Lordsburg. The
steering department was entirely on
the bum, and the doctor walked to
the Harper place, about two miles,
and got a team to take him to the
Woods place. Nick and the chauffeur
went to work on the machine. and
Strengthened It up so they weTea able to
navigate, and were ready TO return by
the time the doctor was. The doctor
tied ha~ndkerchiefs over the machines
eyes, and they got back to town with
out hitting a soto.

FISHING OPENS DAY EARLIER
Law Passed by Legislature Allows
for Season Opening May so In
stead of June 1.

MadiSon.-To add to the enjoy
ment OF those who are fishing en-
thusiasts the Wisconsin legislature
has recently amended the fish and
game laws so that the open season
for taking game fish from the wa
tiers of the state begins on May 80,
instead of June /, as formerly. This
will allow many who live close
enough to reach fishing spots within
days time the opportunity to spend
Memorial day at their favorite recre-
alton.
A law passed by the legislature
about three weeks ago provided pro-
lection for the crawfish and crabs by
prohibiting the taking of them be-
tween June 10 and March /. This
will keep them from being disturbed
during their spawning.
new law thet many fishermen
and others interested in the protec-
ton of the fish of the state are at
loss to understand is that recently
passed allowing pike in waters ada
cent to Green Bay to be taken by net
after May l. The pike, they say, is
one of the most delicate of game fish
and its spawning is not completely
over until after the month of May
This relaxation of the law, it is be-
lieved, will tend to disturb them and
retard their increase

in Ditch Near Appleton.

Appleton.-That twenty-one pas
sengers were not killed or injured in
the wreck of a combination train on
the Milwaukee road, five miles from
Appleton, is nothing less than mirac-
ulous. The train was running thirty
five miles an hour, down grade, when
the front axle on a coal car next to
the engine snapped off, letting the
car onto the ties.
Every car in the train left the
rails, several of them being thrown
into a deep ditch A car loaded with
furniture just ahead of the passen-
ger coach on the rear of the train
broke from the train and plunged in
to the ditch in such a manner as to
keep the coach on the right of way.
Three hundred feet of track was
torn up and half the cars in the train
so badly damaged the wrecking crew
burned them rather than attempt to
put them back on the rails.

CONDEMN FRIEDMAN CURE
enel, Declares tuberculosis
Serum is Fraud on Public.

Madison.-Dr. M P. Ravenel,
state bacteriologist, and DR.. J. w.
Coon, superintendent of the state tu-
berculosis sanitorium at Wales, have
little or no faith in the Friedman
cure for tuberculosis Dr. Ravenel
returned from Washington, where
he attended a meeting of the Nation
al Association for the Study of Tu-
berculosis, and said that the Fried
mann cure was a colossal fraud
DR.. J. w. Coon, who was sent east
a month ago by the state board of
control to investigate the cure, also
became convinced that the tests did
not bear out the claims of DR.. Fried
mann.
DR.. Ravenel said that he expected
within few days to have some cul-
lures of the serum here for the pur-
pose of studying them, but did not
intend to experiment on human be-
ings.
