JUNE, THE MONTH OF GLADNEss
AND SUNSHINE.

June is an ideal month. So full of
sunshine, flowers and promises. The
rivers and brooks ripple merrily on
ward, and the boy and girl graduate
stands with bright and glowing cheeks
on the threshold of life, eager to enter
the test of the world. What will be
the outcome of that test?
Next Thursday morning three Negro
pupils of East Denver and one Of the
North Side High School will close thet
study books, receive their diplomas
and commence the real battles Of the
world. They should receive encour-
agement from each one of u.s., This
years indications point to more male
graduates than female, an extraordi-
nary thing June 10th at Trinity M.
E Church, there beautiful girls dainti-
ly dressed in white and the young
men in their conventional black
suits, will spend the happiest moment
of their lives, when each gets the
sleeps skin. Amid all this splendor
and inspiration, wedding bells will
ring gladness into the hearts of many
young brides.

GOVERNOR CARLSON, HAST THOU
FORSAkEN THE NEGRO7

We konw that our Chief Executive
of this state has been to busily en-
gagged with other matters to remember
about the patronage to be given out
the Negro. Yet the avalanche of doubt
and attack hurled against the Negro
Republicans who stood up and voted
the Republican ticket and helped to
elect our present incumbent, is grow
ing stronger and larger daily. Are the
Negro voters right in declaring that
the Republican Party has repudiated
their promises made before election,
abandoned the Negro and turned them
over to their traditional enemies?
Do the Negro republican voters
mefit rebuke and opposition rather
than support and recognition Of their
The Denver star., 1915-06-05

class and kind by patronage already
promised? Does not Gov. Carlson know
that the Republican party is made up
of Republicans, and not otherwise,
and if these Republicans stood by the
Governor in moneyless campaign,
then in all fairness a Republican
should have Republican job. Six
months have almost elapsed and no
substantial recognition of the Colored
Citizen. Will the Governor and state
officials allow false or mistaken prom
ises be attached to the name "Repub-
lican," as odium is now attached to the
word Democrat? While we know
that the Governor is now and has been
handicapped, we are calling his atten-
tion to the Negroes desires and ambi-
tions. Some of the state officials
have reappointed some of the Demo
Gratis in office. 1t may be that you
can get a trust worthy Republican
party from a crowd Of Democrats, but
the Star doubts it. We drop this note
of warning, as the Negroes are openly
charging that the Star made grave
mistake by advising them to support
the G. o. P.

SOME FORMS Of RHEUMATISM
CURABLE.

Rheumatism is disease character
lied by pains in-the joints and in the
muscles. The most common forms
are: Acute and Chronic Rheumatism,
Rheumatic Headaches, Sciatic Rheu-
matism and Lumbago. All OF these
types can be helped absolutely by ap-
plying some good liniment that pene-
trates. An application of Sloan's Lin.
iment two or three times day to the
affected part will give instant relief.
Sloan's Liniment is good for pain, and
especially Rheumatic Pain, because It
penetrates to the seat Of the trouble,
soothes the afflicted part and draws
the pain. "Sloan's Liniment is all
medicine" Get 25c bottle now. Keep
It handy in case of emergency.

CIVIC BEAUTY AND OUR PRIDE.
Let Everyone Lend Helping Hand
to the Women.

Denver has some of the finest set
of women in the West. They are loyal
patriotic, progressive and Industrious,
always working for the betterment and
advancement of the race. In order to
stimulate a greater desire and keener
interest in the beauty of home, its
congenial surroundings and our civic
pride, certain women's clubs of this
CITY have a contest between the own
ers of beautiful lawns, gardens, back
yards, etc.
Until the race as a whole educates
itself in the ways of civic pride and
learns to apply the principles OF those
ways to it's everyday life it will con-
tinually injure the value OF property
in whatever section of the city 1t re-
sides. 1t is to be admitted that race
prejudice has a depreciative ehect
upon property values, but there are
other agencies involved that are quite
within our powers to control that aid
in this loss of values. The crux Of the
whole matter lies in our own dis1n-'
clination to improve our neighborhood
and our own immediate surroundings.
All of us to some degree or less are at
fault, but this fault is easily remedied.
Civic pride means merely this: A
manifested interest in making your
particular neighborhood a decent place
to live in. This interest shows itself
in grassy front plats, fiowery back
yards, with all rubbish and old papers
carefully removed to the garbage bar
rel; clean alleyways, unmarked and
unscratched Railways, clean base
ments, washed windows, etc. In ad-
dition to these personal things comes
those that are personal, such as dress,
speech and actions around the prem
ises. Many Of our best avenues have
been spoiled by an unsightly garbage,
waste and dump heap, while at the
same time our back yards are inde-
scribable. On the other hand, good
neighborhoods have been given bad
ndultS DCCduoc VI oNiNShS SpSSSAA
and actions of certain residents.
These things, small as they may seem,
have an important bearing on the
present conditions. ANY reliable real
estate man will bear witness to this
fact When we can develop civic
pride our presence in any section will
not bankrupt the realty dealer Fur
thermore, with this taste developed,
we will attract values.
Get behind the Civic Beauty con-
test encourage and talk it up. Boost
and be alive to Denvers civic needs
among Negroes. This will attract
more attention than anything else
will. God bless our noble women
who, unaided and not much encour-
ahead, trying to progress AID enrich
the Negro manhood with aspirations
aged even now, and forging steadily
and ambitions, while the Negro man
sleeps, talks and thinks only. Get
behind these ladies, citizens, and be-
come a real live factor for better
ment in our Denver life.

OUR SUCCESS IN MUSIC.
Most Distinctive In America.
Saws BENJAMIN Brawley.

Says 6Snj amin 6rawIey.
Benjamin Brawley in a recent
article in the Southern Work
Z man has the following to say Of
the possibilities of the race for
advancement in the arts and in
J music:
With reference to the Negro
) two things are observable. One
Is that any distinction SO far
won by a member Of the race in
America has been almost always
in some one Of the arts, and the
other is that any influence so FAR
! exerted by the Negro on Amert-
can civilization has been prima-
rily in the field of aesthetics. But
there is something deeper than
the sensuousness of beauty that
makes for the possibilities OF the
Negro in the realm of the arts,
and that is the soul Of the race.
The wall Of the old melodies
and the plaintive quality that is
ever present in the Negro voice.
are but the reflection OF the back
ground Of tragedy. No race can
rise to the greatest heights of
art until it has yearned and suf-
fered. The Russians are case
in point. Such has been their
background in oppression and
striving that their literature and
art today are marked by an un-
mistakable note of power. The
same future beckons to the Amer
lean Negro.
The Negro has great gifts Of
J voice and ear and soul, but 30
far much of his talent has not
scared above the vaudeville
stage. This is due most largely.
of course, to economic instability.
1t is the call of patriotism. how
ever. that America should realize
that the Negro has peculiar gifts
which need an possible cultiva-
ton and which will one day add
to the glory Of the country. Al
ready his music is recognized as
the most distinctive that the
United States has yet produced.

ADAMS EXPRESS COMPANY
 ATTACKS WEBB-KENYON LAW

Washington, April 10.-Briefs were filed in the supreme court today in a case to determine the constitution ality of the Webb-Kenyon law, apply ing to liquor shipments from "wet" to dry territory as interpreted by the Kentucky state courts, which he q that it prohibited such shipments for personal use as distinguished from sale.
 The Adams Express Company, on appeal, contends that the law is un- constitutional if it has such an appli- cation.
 We contend" says the brief of the company, that the Webb-Kenyon law does not authorize a state to interfere with the interstate shipments for personal use, or at any rate the law does not authorize interference with such liquors unless the state by a law otherwise valid, makes it an of- fense for c itizen to personally use liquors, or have them in possession for use."
 Cases involving the interpretation of the law also have arisen in Texas, Tennessee, Delaware, Alabama, North Carolina and Virginia.

police of Compiegne to take charge Of the case
 The courtmautiars vote of acquit- tai was five to two. Vigorous al- plause greeted the verdict
 During his testimony Captain Herail said there had been an occasional diff ficulty in his domestic life arising from his wife's unreasonable desire to be continually with him when hi was sent to Algeria, Morocco, Tunia and to Luneville and Tarascon, France. He said his wifes persist ency in refusing to be separated from him caused not only great incouven- fence but much embarrassment as it was strictly against the orders for him to take her with him and finally resulted in the sordid affair at Com piegne.
 Colonel Moineyille testified that he had ordered all officers to give an ac- count of themselves after the notice was published forbidding any officers wives to be at the front. As Captain Herails reply was unsatisfactory, Colonel MOinevlle sentenced him to 15 days confinement unless his wife departed immediately. In reply to a question by the governments attor- ney, Colonel Moineville said:
 "If only Captain Herail had had confidence in me during his difficulty, am sure another way would have been found to rid him of his wifes attentions
 Major Bouchez made this statement on the stand regarding the shootng:
 As soon as I heard the shots I rushed into the adjoining room and seeing the wife prostrate, said to Captain Herail Unfortunate man, what have you done?' Captain Herail replied: She would not go-now she will be carried away
 "I believe that this gentleman com mitted a crime during a period oa mental alteration because of the ab- solute refusal of his wife 10 obey the orders of the commanding general"
 Lieutenant Monnet. personal friend of Captain Herail, and Mme Mason, proprietress of the hotel al Compiegne where the shooting oc- cured, both testified in behalf of the accused Mime. Mason, after fin ishing her testimony, shook Captain Herail by the hand and said:
 Poor Monsieur Herail has but ht- tie patience"

REVOLUTION STARTED
 IN NICARAGUA

Washington, April Nicaraguan revolutionists said to be headed by Salvador Castrillo, formerly minister to the United States, have met crush ing defeat, according to advices today to the Nicaraguan minister here, Mir. Chamorro. The rebels were routed yesterday in a battle 12 miles south of Managua, the capital.
 The disturbance was viewed as not serious by the American minister at Managua. ti
 MT. CAamorro's message said Cas- trillo, General Hurtado and Governor Barberena, recently removed from of flee in Chinandega province, were seeking to enforce personal claims against the government. Castrillo claimed, it was said, that $30,000 was owing to him for expenses incurred during his diplomatic service.
 Because of the financial stringency in Nicaragua the failure of the treaty with the United States which would have given the government $3,000.000, Nicaragua has recalled all her diplomats except Mir. Chamorro, it was learned, leaving her affairs at | other capitals than Washington in th5 hands of consular represe tatives.
