SPECIAL NOTICE!
TO KANSAS, OKLAHOMA, MIS-
SOURI,, AND OTHER INVESTORS
WHO WERE ROBBED BY THE
OIL TRUST IN THE KANSAS OIL
WAR OF 1905

When oil was first discovered in
southeast Kansas--'i903- there
were 400 indee eendent concern and
companies that invested between $l2,-
100000 and $lj 100000 in developing
the Kansas field At one time the
Kansas production was over 10000
barrels per day At first the Oil
Trust encouraged the producers, and
paid Sl!lS for is to 26-gravity crude
AMI $l,SS per barrel for 80 to 81
gravity crude oil. Thousands of cit
izens from Kansas, Missouri and Ok
laloma invested in good faith in the
developing of the Kansas field and
more than 80 per cent Of the invest
ments would have paid out big, but
as quick as the Oil Trust had sue
ceeded in lying to the pidblic and de-
eeiying thousands into pioneering and
developing the Kansas field, the Oil
Trust arbitrarily put down the price
of crude oil from $l.3S per barrel to
35 cents per barrel and then refused
to accept only limited amount from
the inde9endent producers The
founder and now the president of the
Uncle Sam Oil Company was one OF
the Kansas producers that did not
surrender. and in the Kansas oil war
that followed The Uncle Sam Oil
company was practically the only
company that protected its life and
maintained itself against the criminal
discrimination of the Kansas field.
rhe report OF the Kansas attorney
generals office shows that out of
over 400 independent concerns and
companies representing $4,000 .000
to $15,000,C09 invested, four or five
concerns stood through the fight, The
Uncle Sam Company being the only
big company to weather the storm.
The voters OF Kansas that gave the
electoral vote OF Kansas TO President
Wilson were the citizens that were
robbed and whose oil companies were
broken IN and killed by the purchas-
ing agent company of the Oil Trust.
\ Republican legislature and Repub-
liean governor of Kansas passed laws
that curbed the Oil Trust in Kansas
and MADE possible the great success
OF the Uncle Sam Oil Company, which

MISS THRASHLEY'S MUSICAL
SUCCESS AT ZION.

Zion Baptist church has never wit
messed any higher class musical pro
gram than was given June 80 by our
own Denver product, Miss Beatrice
Thrashley, and her six advanced pu-
pills An evening with the masters
demonstrated how the young musical
talented students rendered with ease,
grace, technic and gripping power
most difficult classics. So full and en-
pressive were the translations and in
terpretations of the authors master
pieces that a silent but joyous en-
preston of assent went through the
audience To Miss Thrashley, who
has for years, under the most difficult
and discouraging conditions. fought
her way to the top. where all Denver
gladly recognizes her as masterful
preceptress. When the young girls
played such classics as Menuet by
Paderewski, interpreted by Rebecca
Smith; Czerwonky's Scherzino by

when these masterpieces are SO well
played that spontaneous ebullitlons of
praise and satisfaction are witnessed,
one can easily feel proud in saying
that the six advanced students are
musical wonders. Their parents have
every reason to be proud of them and
of their teacher, Miss Thrashley, un-
der whom they were. But this men
tion would not be complete if we
failed to mention the Orpheus Choral
Society and the vocal solos by little
Thyra Morrison. Zion Baptist church
certainly proved their loyalty to their
own and a large crowd was the con-
sequence. Denver feels proud of
Miss 'Thrashley and it is the Stars
sincerest wish that she will attain
the highest round possible in musical
training and education. She ia. ambi-
tious and deserves every honor Den
yer can and ought to give her. The
Denver Star feels proud of her work
and that of her advanced pupils. Her
musical classes are constantly in
creasing and every Negro owes to the
Negro musician his or her support
and should give it to them. Why not

The State Central Committee of the

The State Central Committee of the
Republican party of Colorado and the
Colorado Progressive Party League,
and the voters respectively allied
Herewith, through their respective
committee on conference, hereby de-
clare that it is absolutely necessary
for all loyal citizens of Colorado to
unite in their political efforts this fall
under the banner of the Republican
party to escape the insufferable con-
ditions tolerated by the party now in
control of our state affairs.
We renew our allegiance to that
principle of our government which
declares that all it's inherent powers
are of and for and flow from all the
people; we recognize that it is not
alone the prerogative but the duty of
the rank and file of any party to
sweep aside such of it's leaders as at
tempt to prostitute this essential
principle.
We believe in the supremacy of the
law as an essential principle of gov
ernment by any people who would
dispense social and industrial justice
in their affairs.
We recognize that the Republican
party has always contended for and
insisted upon the maintenance of law
and order as fundamental concept
of government; and that, when in
control of our state affairs, it has al
ways judiciously and fearlessly exer-
cised governmental authority for the
complete protection of all the people,
in their lives, their liberties and their
property, as i has likewise main
tained social and economic peace.
We believe that the lamentable
condition of Colorado's civic interests
impose the duty upon all her loyal
citizens to rise above mere PARTISAN
ship in the approaching election, and
to unite for the common purpose of
re-establishing stable conditions in
matters of governmental and social
concern.
We refuse to quarrel with either
capital or labor; we accord to each
the right to bargain with the other
upon all matters not of an exclusive
ly governmental import While labor
may have temporary difference with
capital over any one of many CORE
lated departments of industry, and a
wise public opinion should be brought
to the amelioration and solution Of
such friction, yet any attempt upon
the part of labor to deny rights to
capital, and vice versa, should be
promptly rebuked by the sanity of
the community; since without capital
there is no call for labor, and without
capital government will fall, for there
will be absent the incentive to COM
mand cohesion and uplift.

state were delegates to the Republican
state convention. which recently met
in this city. There were Important
matters affecting the cofored voters Of
the state to be considered. 1t was
therefore. very fortunate for the race
that it had such men as the Hon. L.
Q. Wilson Of Weston. T. G. Nutter Of
Charleston. +. j. Graham. Jr.. Of
Wheeling and William w. Sanders OF
Charleston to represent the colored
voters OF the state. The manly stand
which these men took on this occasion
should serve as an examine to our peO-
pie in other states.
West Virginia was the first sthte to
consider the Recommendation of the
Republican national committee. which
in substance meant reduction OF the
representation OF the colored delegates
from the south to the Republican ma
tional convention. Every colored dele
gate present realized the gravity of
the situation. but most of them were
puzzled as to what course they should
pursue.
