hearty newpaper report which
appeared in the Republican,
but also in the unstinted
praise which comes from
many white men and women,
prominent in Denver's intel
lectnal and business life, who
are in a position TO judge and
who verdict uust be taken by
the people at large. The re-
suits, then, comes not specially
or particularly in honor to the
congregation of Zion, but in a
tangible, lasting benefit to the
Negro community in.this city.
That magnificent production
by talented, cultured Negro
artists, before the flower of
Denver's white population,
has lifted this race and every
individual in it to a higher
plane, intellectually and NOR
ally, in the estimation of the
people who determine this
community's sentiment.
In this spirit, and exultine
in the success of this worth
while accomplishment, we
desire to thank, and express
our gratitude to every indivi-
dual who presence or activity
in any way contributed to thi:
justifiable end.

SWEET REVENGE

For many years various
political parties have been in
! power. all offices held by men,
bers of each party, few have
recognized the negro and
many have not. Some have
done so, not for choice, but
because their party alliance
compelled them. On the 10th
Of May some of these same
men come up for election and
are soliciting the negro vote
and really believe they ought
to have it. The Star doesn't
think So. 1t is to be remen-
bered that each commissioner
elected rules his office alone
and If he is unfriendly toward
us there is no hope. None Of
them are going to do too
much for our race but there are
some that will do more than
others and those men should
have our vote. The Star is
making a study of all, and we
have learned some things that
will astonish the world, and we
are going to tell it Don't be
deceived by flowing speeches
and platform promises, know
the man for whom you vote.
if the wrong one. wins then
for four years you must grin
and bear your treatment. In
our next issue we intend to
give the choice which we
