WHOM WILL YE SERVE?

If a man who has had chance to
do the right thing for the race gets
with his few selected friends and d.
vides the money up, sells out the race
and then poses as your leader, when
in fact he is only menlal servant
would you consider him safe man
to follow? There was $3.50 received
last fall by two certain politicians
from the County Central Committee.
What became of this money! was
there ever a report made? II 80, 90
YOU believe that one or both OF these
men gave anything in addition to the
$50 they received? Think of man
working for wages and then making
a donation to the Republican party!
These same men are trying to do
the same thing again. We favor
square deal, out and out, and tne
Star does not approve OF ANY Sci
OF PERSONS getting money and ol-
yiding it among themselves. the
money is for workers, hire WORKERS;
IL it is for meetings, have legitimate
meetings and not ice cream 1rosts'
Some political grafters look for poll
tics regularly to give them money.
No wonder Nisbet said he could take
800 and buy off every Negro in Den
YER. People of Denver, we are IN
earnest; we want to see honorable
men and women take the lead for our
welfare. In the past nothing but dis
honest politicians have handled the
money given for legitimate purposes
of the campaign. We believe that
1he same business system should be
used in politics as is used In busi-
ness. Cannot some honorable men in
Denyer agree on a plan and then
work out that plan for the benefit OF
the race? II so,, why not? We need
good strong men in our front ranks.
who will volunteer?

with sensational passing and shooting.
Time after time the house was brought

BY marvellous team work the ball

WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
What Ought to Be Done to Get What
BELONGS to Your

What is the difference between a
man who poses for such picture as
the Birth of Nation" and man
who sells out his race for job or
money? Both are traitors to the race,
are they not? Is not there only one
way to be fair and square, and that
is to do the right thing. When white
people want to accomplish anything
they organize and then make their
wants known thru the organization.
Some politicians cater to organiza-
tions, while other politicians buck
and ignore both organizations and
their selections. What would you say
of a politician who knew that you
and your organizations had worked
and toiled that he and his friends
might get fat plums, and then about
a year and a half after election, ap-
point Negro who neither worked
for his job nor for the party, but was
identified against it, and who was not
the selection of an organized BODY
nor belonged to any-what, we say,
would you think of a politician VINO
would thus ignore the choices of the
organized bodies, and thus force this
Negro upon you, down your throat, as
your representative? Take him or
take nothing, is the defy! No real
men or race of people ever gain
rights, respect or honorable position
that way. Will you stand for it?
Don't you think you ought to let the
politicians know and thoroughly un-
derstand that you will recognize men
who recognize you?
When you see many men who nve
on politics or who traffic in the mis-
fortunes of race, bind themselves
together, the honest, respectable peo-
pie or voters had better sit up and
take notice. Men whose ways are
dark hate to have the light turned
upon them and their shady actions.
Don't you think that you ought TO
let it be thoroughly known and ap.
preciated that if any state official
wanted to make a personal appoint
ment of Negro who has not taken
the state civil service examination
for a Job, that he can do 1t, but that
1t must not be charged up against the
Negro race, as their appointment and
selection, especially when every con-
sideration of the Negroes selections
has been, up to that time, ignored and
even treated slightly? Now let this
appointee and his friends proceed 10

Negroes. Patiently watch and walt

Rumanian Queen
 Liked in England

London, Sept. 16.-One of the many reasons for rejoicing here at the en- trance of Rumanid into the war on the side of the Allies is the fact that the Rumania queen is an English woman of great popularity. Before her marriage to the Hohenzollern prince who is now King Ferdinand, Queen Marie was the beautiful and popular daughter of the late Kind Ed- wards oldest brother, the late Duke of Edinburgh. She is still regarded as beautiful, and indeed with her hus- band and two boys and four girls is frequently spoken of as constituting the best looking royal family in Eur ope, as well as the most photographed.
 Queen Marie is beloved throughout her country for her generosity and constant efforts in behalf of the poor. She is the leading spirit of the So- ciety of Bookcases of Rumania, each goddess acting as a fairy godmother to at least one poor child. The queen has an odd hobby in the collection of scent-bottles of which she had more than 5000.
 When aboard her fathers flagship at Malta Rumania's future queen be- came a great favorite with officers helping the ships cook with his du- ties. On one occasion she fried fifty eggs and slices of ham and had them distributed among the men as a token of goodwill.

 SUFFRAGE NEWS

The Connecticut Woman Suffrage Association is holding parade in New Haven on Tuesday evening. This is the second parade of Suffragists within two weeks. The first was for the Republican State Convention and was held on the afternoon of Tuesday. Sept. 5th. The one on Tuesday is ar ranged for the benefit of the Demo- cratic State convention. The hour of starting is fixed for seven, and if the Suffragists are as punctual this time as last, they win start just as the clock strikes the hour. The line of march has been arranged to take in the Taft Hotel the headquarters of the Demo- cratic convention, and the parade will disband on the Green as it did be- fore.
 The starting point is at the corner of Park and Crown streets. The auto mobiles will collect on Park street and the marching contingents on Crown street. The line of march is along Park street to George. along George to College, then up Chapel to State, along State to Elm and down Church to the corner of Church and Chapel where the procession will debouch on the Green.
 At each corner of the Green there will stands from which there will be speaking after the parade. A band will take up its station by each of the stands and the bands will play un- til the disbanding is complete and the speaking begins. There was speak ing from automobiles after the pa- rade of Sept. 9th. but this fact had not been announced beforehand and many of the spectators went away in ignorance that anything of the kind was going on. The speakers will in c1ude the best known suffrage leaders of the State-Mrs. T. N. Hepburn, Mrs. Carlos F. Stoddard, Mrs. M. Toscan Bennett, Mrs. Annie G. Porritt, Miss Emily Pierson, Dr. Valeria Parker, Mrs. Grace Thompson Eaton and others.

 use of the national flags for these |, women citizens. As in the last parade l every county, senatorial district will be | represented and there will be group of the presidents of the local suffrage leagues.

Sink not beneath imaginary sorrows; Call to your aid your courage ana
 your wisdom.
 Of joy and sunshine seek to borrow Your allotted share"
 What a joy it is to be brought into contact with women whose very pres ence radiates sunshine and gladness, on whose lips there is an ever-ready laugh and a gracious word, and now heart breaking it is to remain five minutes in the society of the woman who is alwa..-3 endeavoring to load the story of her woes upon you and ln- sists upon presenting to you the seamy side of life and it's shadows.
 The woman with the glad heart may be plain of face even to homeliness, but that is quickly forgotten in the music of her voice, her cheerfulness and charm personality. The com blaming woman. she of the imaginary sorrows, may be as beautiful as an houri, but even those who try their best to love her will find more con tentment in her absence than in. her presence.
 This hugging of sorrow to ones bo- som can become mania with a per- son unless it is stamped out deter minedly in the beginning. Home training in early youth has much to do with the grave habit. The girl who from childhood up is made to smile each time she addresses a member of the family oo friend, will uncon- sciously imbfbe the spirit of happiness It will come natural for her to smile in after years.
 A happy disposition and a smiling lace are woman's best assets. With them she can have the world at her rect. The child who frowns is prone to discontentment, giving up, courage under imaginary difficulties and sor- rows. gives timely warning to those aoout her that she will have hard road to travel in her future. Those who love her and have her interest at neart should lose no time in endeavor- ing 10 eradicate her gloomy outlook on life. Their reward for every favor rendered her should be a smile. This should be insisted upon with unfiax- glng patience and kindliness. Gloomy subjects should not be tolerated or discussed with her.
 Much attention should be paid to the choice of a gloomy girls compan- ions' the furnishings and hangings of the room she has for her very own. and her clothes should not be sonpbre. on the contrary, they should be light. airy and beautiful to the eye.
 Huspands should not encourage a wire to have dreary forebodings, but snouio take pains to laugh them hear tliy away. It is hard enough to meet real troubles and fence with them It E a shame to give imaginary sorrows orain room. Make your Neart light by smiling them away.

FIND 25 LEPERS FROM J. 5. AMONG
 JAP SUFFERERS
American Society of Nippon Presented With Problem
 By Discovery.

Yokohama, Japan, Sept. 16.-The discovery of about twenty-five Ameri- can 1epers in different rarts of Japan has become a pressing problem for American officials and for the Ameri- can Association of Japan which is un- dertaking to secure their trensporta- ton to the American leper home in the Hawaiian Islands.
 The lepers have made their way here in recent years with the hope that they might be healed at the fla nous Japanese hot springs, especially those at Kusatsu which is always crowded with Japanese lepers taking the waters. Gradually they have drifted to missionary leper hospitals or have in other ways become bur dens on the community. In view of the excellent asylum at Hawaii the American Association is taking steps to secure their removal.
 Leprosy is one of the great questions seeking solution by modern Japan. It is estimated that the lepers of the em- pire number about 25 900. Five gov- ernmental leper asylums were estab- hshed in 1907, but they accomodate only a few thousand. The remainder are scattered over the country des- perately seeking a cure in the hot springs or publicly begging in the or before the temples.
 At the last session of the Diet the Japanese Leprosy Prevention Society petitioned for the establishment of a national leprosarium on some island in the Pacific Ocean. The cost of the asylum was estimated at $s,000, 900. and its maintenance at $25O,000 a year. It is believed that at least one third of the lepers could be housed and treated at once and it was con- tended by the petitioners that Japan could be cleared of lepers in the course Of fen vearS

 As War Hymn Writer

London, Sept. 16-Private Ralph Burnham who came all the way from Virginia, where he was born of Eng fish parents, very soon after the call Your King and Country Need Your' and who joined the Middlesex Regi- ment, has developed into a writer and composer of music whose. name will outlive the war.
 The first song he wrote after Join- ing met with great success. It was called "The Soul of the Empire" and has since been sung wherever soldiers are encamped. Recently, however. he has completed another piece, called "The Prayer of the World" which was immediately adopted as an army hymn and is sung at most church pa- Yades and religious services of the troops.
