Rev. Claude Mckay. a Congregation
alist minister, of Otta-~a, ILL.,. in dis
cussing the critics Of the Bible called
attention to Tom Paine, Voltaire and
Robert lngersoll. He says
when Tom Paines hook was being
read in 1749, he said, In fifty years
the Bible will have been consigned to
tho dusty archives of the past. II you
want to see n copy you will need to
go to museum Let MS see the re-
suits. Since Paine made his statement

printed in over 500 languages and dia-
leets. but Tom Paine's book has been
consigned to the dusty archives OF the
, past.

French infidel. was before the public,

great and a commanding figure from
the business world. His title 10 the
rank OF premier banker and director
Of commercial and railroad interests
in the United States at the time OF
his death will not be seriously dis
puted. His word since the death OF
the elder Morgan was as nearly ali
powerful in the railroad and business
world as one mans can be. He was
the genius and control Of an Industrial
interest Of truly tremendous extent,
and there we're few enterprises of
large moment that might be undn7
taken in his country without touch
ing upon his concern.
That man should have come to
the position OF power that Mr.. Hill
held, through the tense strife among
the business men OF America. is pat
ent OF ability and efficient force wholly
beyond dispute. James J. Hill was a
great business genius and a man of
tremendous personality and remarkl-
bic character He won his way to the
first position In the railroad and bus
ihcss world OF the United States by
sheer ability and the employment of OPP
portunity to its utmost asset. In pow
er of conception. brilliant strategy, dar-
Ing and grasp, none could surpass him.
He had dominant force that carried
him doubtless, by mere weight, against
weaker men, perhaps Of ability eqral
TO his. II was the combination of quail
tiles. coordlnated into an efficient
scheme. that made him the inevitable
leader in commercial and financial ca.
terprise and brought to him the coma
dence and respect OF the business
world.
Above al it must be remembered
that Mr.. IIill was, until eighteen years
Of age, frontlersman IN his Ontario
home. He welded an axe with dex.
terity, as later on he managed great
commercial interests. He came TO THE
United States u mere boy, located in
the then barren West and TO his in
divldual efforts more than to any 9th
or one agency, that country has
grown into a half dozen great states
lie grew with them and his fortune
Is estimated at any where from three
hundred million to half billion of
dollars. James j. Hin. would have
made tho United States great pres
ident, but the bent of his mind was
not in political way and he sought
success in other fields and achieved
the article in rare fashion. He was
a real genius and the entire country
regrets his taking away, though il does
not come Unexpectedly.
There is no good reason why the
death of Mr. Hill should cause any dis.
turbhnCe in the business or financial
world. 1t has ben sufficiently evident
for some time that his heath was pre-
earious. and account OF eventualites,
has doubtless been taken in the cir
elcs over which he presided. The &C.
tual direction of his great interests has
been. for long time, carefully distri-
buted among capable l;eutenants, and
the permanent withdrawal of his per.
sonal command should not result in
any serious effect upon the enter.
prises in which he was engaged. The
financial world however, is curiously
sensitive to the force OF personality
and the fall of great giant may cause
some jar.

WHAT WOULD YOU Dor
What Ought to Be Done to Get What
BELONGS to You?


What is the difference between a
man who poses for such picture as
the Birth of Nation" and a man
who sells out his race for a 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 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 half after election, ap-
point a 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 who
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 live
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 it, 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

UNCLE ABE's POLITICAL NUT
TERiNGS.

Read and Think on These Things.
What do you think of the efforts
of a few job holders and job seekers
organizing an assistant county cen
tral committee? Such an organiza-
ton would have no authority; it Is
only a scheme of their bosses.
Ha! Hal Ha, Because colored
man was called in to tell the county
chairman how to spend little money
among colored voters last fall, that
man styles himself as assistant
county chairman for Negroes.
Where is the $4,000 he got, and with
whom did he spend It? You know
county chairmen are competent, in
telligent men.
The sort of a man who should lead
the colored voters in the coming and
all other political campaigns, is one
who has experience and ability, one
who knows the needs Of the race, one
who holds no job and who wants no
job. That sort Of man will bring
respect and recognition to the colored
voters. Job holders and job seekers
are regarded as political beggars with
hats in hand, asking-yes, begging
for favors only for themselves. Let
us begin now to rid ourselves, colored
voters, of the political beggars who
have been cringing and crawling in
the political dust for years, to our dis
gust. The white men think We are
a cheap lot Of voters who can bethus
easily Influenced by their messengers.
All a white man has to do is to
appoint one or two messengers from
among the colored voters, and at once
those messengers assume the burden
of the Republican party and under
take to boss and to direct the col
ored voters. We want the messen-
gers and their masters to know that
It can't be. done. Messengers are
and no more than that
to colored voters. They can't corall
M or lead us to vote for any man.
and the sooner they arc called on.

sTockER is STARS CHOICE.

Every man has his right to think
as he pleases. Every man ought to
think for himself one way or the
other. So the Star has picked Allison
,Stocker as the best party man for
governor. Why? While we like Gov.
Carlson, supported him last election
at great expense to ourselves, yet we
think that Gov. Carlson has forgot
ten too soon" the friends that helped
him. He has ignored organized
bodies of Negroes and preferred to
have the support of a man and of
men who did nothing to elect him.
He believes in messengerships only
for Negroes, and 80 we part friends.
Allison Stocker believes in clerkships
for Negroes. His past record shows
what he will do when he can. He
has championed our cause whenever
the opportunity presented itself. Why
SO soon? We are not like some 9th
ers, working in the background, and
If one fails, come out strong for the
victor. We are honest and pick our
man; If he wins, we win; If he loses,
we lose. He is the best business
man and lives in Denver.

FORWARD!

Forward is the watchword! Moth
ing can stand still! We must pro-
gress, or we must retrograde! The
year nineteen-sixteen should make the
greatest era of advancement we have
ever known. ALI conditions are pro-
digious. The beginning of the new
year finds us with new responsible
ties and new opportunities. How are
we to meet these responsibilities, how
improve these opportunities?
"If you use any insinuations when
you mean me, l shall meet you upon
the street and take it out on your
hide.'' This is what the Editor re-
ceived over the telephone Monday
morning because of the editorials writ
ten Saturday. This is the warm salu
tation the Editor received Monday
morning. We are neither afraid, nor
will we stop turning on the light at
whatever cost. The Star intends that
the common people have chance at
the political counter and not spec
ial few ali the time.
Drifting Is such an easy job that
more people drift with the current than
mil against it. The most difficult
feat in the world is to pull against the
current which controls our circum-
stances, but We will never get up
stream without.
If the people want such men to con-
stitute themselves and lead them into
their own green pastures, the Star Will
bow to the will of the common people,
if not, We fight for you.

VATIONS.

l have often heard it said that poll
tics make strange bed fellows" The
truth of that saying has been recent
y verified, for know of certain Col
bred men who have not spoken to each
other for twelve years-except to
abuse and curse at each other; and
all about who should be the leader of
the Colored voters of Denver. But
do you know that they have kissed
and made up and are occupying the
same political bed, and can be seen
daily gamboling about on the green
earth, congratulating each other how
they have with regularity put it over
on the colored voters who are SO ver-
dent and easy that they stand for it
to have the bush wah" and green
stuff" shot into them and to be used
to get for each of them lucrative
job? l tell you its worth something
while it lasts to be political boss
to have votes to exchange for jobs
there is nothing like it. No business
brings such returns with so little CAPT
tai invested. All that is needed to
make a good political boss is to pos

WHITTIER CENTER HOLDS

improved Aousins Facilities Means o.
Reducing Death Rate.

Philadelphia. The improvement in
cities where the colored people are in
the majority. as the result Of education
and improved housing facilities. was
discussed recently before the members
Of the Whittier Center by several
prominent health authorities at the
Hotel Adelphia. in Philadelphia.
The occasion was memorial meet
ing and luncheon in honor of the late
Booker T. Washington. Among the
principal speakers were DIR. Haven
Emerson. health commissioner Of New
York city; George NJ. Kober. secretary
Of the housing commission in Wash
ington. and Dr. Samuel T. Mitchell.
president Of Delaware college.
Mr.. Kober told how the improve
ment of housing conditions in Wash
ington and many other southern cities
has resulted in reducing the mortality
in the race. In the sections Of which
I speak," said Mr.. Kober. ''better
housing conditions, coupled with in
struction in sanitation. have not only
lowered the death rate among the col
ored race, but gradually are eradicat-
ing the diseases prevalent among
them"
Improved housing conditions alone.
according to DIR. Emerson. will not
solve the problem Of better health con
ditions either in the white or colored
sections of city. while the better
ment Of housing conditions naturally
is a big factor in the matter" said he.
'it must travel hand in hand with edu-
cation. The stamping out of Ignorance
is one of the most important factors to
be considered"
1--WE may talk all we like about pre-
paredness.'' continued DR. Emerson.
"but when we take into consideration
the countless thousands in our cities
the question appears somewhat incon-
sistent. II we ever are going to be
prepared we must do all in our power
to remedy this state of affairs"
Dr. Mitchell told OF the influence of
education in uplifting the colored race.

ficers for the ensuing year: President.
