realize or reap very bitter conse-
quences. In our strivings whether
civic or industrial we must get the
password. 1t is competition.
Favoritism is growing out of style
The avenues of livelihood are no
longer street fairs-with a place
for black mar and a place for a
white man. There are no longer
specially reserved occupations for
special races. White walters,
white janitors, white coachmen
and white boot blacks are no long
er curiosities in Colorado. These,
what are they doing? They are
wasting no time and sparing nc
effort to establish themselves.

want to call your attention
briefly to one aspect of the various
solutions of the race problem.
These solutions are at best theor.
les and | sometimes think they
should be called dissolutions in
stead of solutions.
After fifty years of trial, single
theories have been found wanting
although it may be said that all of
them together have helped.
The wrong has been that one
theory excluded every other, and
the apostles of one theory have re-
fused to work with the apostles of
the other theories; thus nullifying
to some extent efforts for race
unity.
We are agreed, l believe, that
no one theory, on one theorist, and
no one special race effort has
monopoly on the best means of rae
ial attainment-but this is an
achievement for all of us working
together.

announce new projects for the fu-

present, and take the initiative in
all that pertains to our social well
fare.
1t is beginning to down upon us
that if we shall be saved we must
save ourselves. The fault is not
all in our stars, but some of it is
