Heineman cheats his workers out of

The state factory inspector admits
his attorney, John P. Reed, made
technical error. Nelson then asked

speeches in support of Charles E.
Hughes in October.
The speakers bureau at Repub-
lican headquarters is now work

will join the Hughes speaking
forces in October. 1t was an
nounced that Root will make
swing through New York state.
President Taft contributed to
the Republican campaign litera-
ture today with letter to the
Hughes National College League,
in which he said:
"There are so many reasons
why Mr.. Wilson should not be
continued at the head of the adj
ministration that some of the i'm
portant ones are apt to be forgot
ten in their multiplicity. 1t is of
the highest Importance that in the
very critical issues that are to be
met in connection with the ending
of the war that we should have
a consistent and Ineligible policy
of constructive and courageous
nature and this cannot be predi-
Gated on a continuance of the
Democratic administration"

received reports indicating that
Republicans have an excellent
chance to carry North Carolina,

NEGRO STUDENTS SAVE
ONION CROP.

Amherst, Mass. A force of
300 Negro students from the
Hampton Institute, Va. and 500
other Negroes from the South
farmed and harvested the onion
crop in a portion of Connecticut
this year, when the regular farm
hands left the fields for higher
wages in the munition factories
of the state, according to a state
ment of ]. w. Alsop of Avon,
Conn.,, before the Onion Grow
ers of Hampshire and Franklin
counties yesterday.
Mr.. Alsop said: When our
laborers went to the factories we
raised So, 900 and sent to employ
ment agents in the cities. The
men provided were worse than
useless. Then we sent to the
South and got 300 students from
Hampton Institute and other
schools and 500 other Negroes.
These students went to church
sang well and by their gentleman
ly conduct won the good will of
the community and the praise of
their employers.

twenty thousand clergyman,
some five thousand doctors, some

tions that existed little more than
one-half century ago. submit
that it is an extraordinary record
of progress which shall fill with
pride every American heart. 1t
holds the promise of the future.
We have every variety, believe
of educational enterprise, through
which we may believe that this
progress will be continued and
greatly advanced.
"You have schools of agricul-
ture and of industry; opportun-
ity for higher education. Now,

Equality for
All People
Is the Slogan that Sounded by Republican Candidate
President Charles Evans Hughes, in an
Address Delivered at Nashville,
Tenn,, few Days Ago.

Nashville, Tenn. Nearly two
thousand Negroes gave Charles
E. Hughes, the Republican nomi-
nee for President, an enthusias-
tic welcome and listened to a fif-
teen-minute speech by Mr..
Hughes, at Hadley Park to Fisk
University students and others
Monday afternoon, in which the
speaker told his hearers that he
was for government that stood
for equality in all things and for
all people, irrespective 6f race or
creed.
Mr.. Hughes avoided political
issues, dwelling on American cit
izenship and lauding such great
Americans as Abraham Lincoln
and Booker T. Washington. The
Fisk Jubilee Singers furnished
the musical program. The Rev.
MIR. M. w. Gilbert made the in
troductory speech, which was in
a happy vein.
MR.. HUGHES ADDRESS.
Mr.. Hughes spoke in part as
follows:
Mr.. Chairman, Fellow Citi-
zens:-It is with the greatest
pleasure that | come to this edu-
cational center. l remember as
a boy listening to the melodies of
the jubilee singers. / can now
recall Roll Jordan, Roll, which
they used to roll out with such
wonderful effect. 1t has always
been my desire to see Fisk Uni
versity and become better ac-
quainted with the educational op-
portunities which. are afforded
in this favored place. AS l re-
call the days to which | have
just referred, when as boy l
listened to those distinguished
makers of melody, l think of the
tremendous progress that has
been achieved by the colored peo-
pie of this land. Too little atten-
ton has been given in connection
with the consideration of our
problems to this very important
progress. To me it represents
an extraordinary advancement
which carries with it the hope of
a successful solution of many of
our difficult problems.
Il am told on very high author
ity that there are now one mill
ion colored farmers, with farm
property of the value of one bill
ion and half dollars. l under
stand that you have church prop
erty of the value of seventy-five
millions. You are represented

fair and decent and just treat
ment as will make you proud OF
your manhood and womanhood.

tiles of life, give you the best
of wishes.

DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1916

IL is the lesson OF good citizen
ship; it is the lesson of aptitude;
it is the lesson of special know
ledge and training. l want the
colored people of this land, in ev-
cry useful activity, to be adapted
to it, to be fitted for their work,
to progress by showing their ap-
titude, their training and their
knowledge. / want them in ev-
cry form of effort which is essen
tial in our civilized community,
by the perseverance of their ap-
plication, by the thrift of their
character, by their honesty and
fidelity, to be commended as they
should be commended to the en-
tire people of this country.
I'VE have many, many diff
culties. believe it was that
great leader, Booker T. Wash
ington, whom had the pleasure
of knowing, who said that free
dom was not a bequest-it was a
conquest. There is a very great
truth in that statement. 1t
means this, as l understand it,
that no one can confer upon an
other the blessings of freedom;
they have got to be won by indi-
vidual qualification. We need in
our homes evidences of care and
industry; we need to have in ev-
cry direction in which we apply
our talent, efficiency.
WANTS AN HONEST BALLOT
I'VE want thrift and honesty;
we want honesty with respect to
the ballot. We desire whenever
there is a particular thing to be
done, to prove that it can be
done. All that you have to do,
in my humble judgment, is to
take advantage of each opportun-
ity, and when there is a thing
that you have to do, do it so well
that you command the admiration
of everyone who knows about it.
That is the only rule that you can
give a boy or a man for success
in this would. 1t is not looking
at the mountain top ten miles
away, it is looking at the next
step, it is looking at the oppor-
tunity of today, it is looking at
at the duty of tomorrow; it is al
ways measuring like a man and
like a woman to the task of the
moment that builds character,
that insures respect, that wins
general esteem. Black men and
women can do that. They are
doing wonderfully in these va
rious avenues of progress to
which l have referred. They
are taking advantage of educa-
tional opportunities. l want to
see these opportunities extended.
II say to you that / stand, if l
stand for anything, for equal and
exact justice to all. l stand for
the maintenance of the rights of
all American citizens regardless
of race or color. The one word
that love above all others is the
word Justice. We want in this
country what is right.
II am sure you do not wish
particular things done because of
color. You want what is right
and fair. l desire to see such

AFTER LAT1N-AMERIcAN TRADE

Many of the colleges and other
schools of this country are adding
Spanish to their regular course of
studies. while some are supplementing
this with special courses in the geog-
raphy of Latin-American countries
and the trade and social eharacteris-
tics of the people residing in those
countries. The object of this, of
course. rs to prepare Americans to go
after more Latin-American trade, it
being generally recognized that the
opportunity for efforts along this line
never before was 50 favorable as it is
TODAY. Spanish being the prevailing
tongue among Latin-Americans, it is
desirable-almost essential, in fact
that American businessmen seeking
trade in that direction should have
a thorough knowledge of the Spanish
language. And of course it is no less
essential that there should also be a
perfect understanding of the customs
methods and practices of the people
who are sought as customers, where
fore tie other courses of preparation

GROWTH OF THE PARCEL POST.

Some interesting statistics regard
ing the remar kable growth Of the par.
Gel post business in this country are
furnished by Congressman A. E. Lew
is, author of the present parcel post
law Before the adoption of this
law Mr. Lewis says the railroads an
nually handled about 1000, 1000, 900
tons of freight and the express com
panies 318,000,00 packages. At the
present time the express companies
are handling some 300,000,O00 pack
ages, showing only slight decline,
the railroad tonnage has actually in
creased to 1,200,0OO,00 tons, and yet
the parcel post is annually handling
fully 100000 parcels, representing
business that has been built UP in
only four years.
In other words, it is held that most
of this parcel post business is actual
ly new business, business that has
been created by the new facility of
cheap transportation of light parcels.
Some of this business, of course, has
been taken from the express compan-
les, although MIR. Lewis estimates
this represents less than $4,000, 900
of the packages now carried by par
eel post. To compensate for this loss,
moreover, the express companies have
gained new business in other direc-
tions, while they also handle much
more heavy freight than they did pre-
vious to the advent of the parcel post,
so that their earnings have suffered
little, if at all. And the railroads
have not been injured by the new
parcel post business, as shown by the
fact they actually have increased
their tonnage to material extent.
The parcel post, in fact, has added
new facility and convenience which
greatly have benefited business and
the general public, and the new SER
vice thus has added to the general
prosperity of the country. Yet it is
recalled that strenuous opposition
and objections were offered to the
parcel post plan, previous to its adop-
tion, and many conservative busiressr
men argued it would be a detriment
to trade and business, and would re-
suit IN ar kinds of trouble and com
DDl.is6ations. Such theories have been
utterly disproved by actual expert
ence, and no one today would think of
the parcel post service.

PEACE PROSPECTS ARE DIM.

Official and. semi-official denials
that Germany is ready to seek the
aid of some neutral power in an eff
fort to end the war seem to be amply
confirmed by the German submarine
raids on the Atlantic coast of thIs
country. IF, for instance, there was
any real basis for the recent rumor
that President Wilson might be asked
to intervene in the interests of peace,
Germany scarcely would add this
fresh complication by attacking hos
tile shipping at the very doors OF
this nation Not only would this send
to embarass this government in amy
peace move it might be inclined TO
undertake, but it also naturally wifi
stiffen the determination Of the enc
mics of Germany to listen to no peace
proposals at the present time.
1t would appear, therefore, that
Germany, no less than the allies, is
fully determined to make it q fight to
the finish. and still is hopeful that
the finish VIII not be adverse to her
own interests. The two sides. III fact
are as far apart as ever, so far as any
possibility of agreement is concerned,
and nothing will change this situation
until one side or the other rs ready
to confess defeat. The technical and
tactical situation of Germany may
not be as good as it was year ago,
but she is still able to successfully
resist the efforts of her enemies, and
still sangrnne that these efforts must
eventually fail. Peace prospects, in
fact, are far from bright, and there
is an increasing conviction that even
year may not see the end of
the war.

commercial foothold in these countries
long before the present war, has been
out of the game for two years. The
business of Great Britain in that
quarter also has been handicapped by
the war. To have dominating share
in South American markets this coun-
try has all the force of location on
its side. A great New York bank re-
Gently has established branches in the
larger South American centers. Thus
are afforded financial media and adj
vantages not hitherto enjoyed by the
people of this country. Because these
were lacking American exporters had
to do business largely through British
and German banking institutions.
With the schools of this country, as
well as some of the leading financial
and commercial institutions, COM
mencing to Systematically prepare
American businessmen so the latter
can intelligently make the effort to
extend American trade in the nations
to the south, there is good reason to
believe such efforts will materially in
crease and will meet with gratifying
success. 1t offers a golden opportun-
ity to the young men of this nation
who are ambitious to branch out in
new field Of endeavor and those
who thoroughly equip themselves to
join in this new campaign for extend
ing the foreign trade of this country
will undoubtedly have no cause to re-
gret their decision. For the young
man of the future, who has the mer-
camille instinct and adds to it the
ability to read and write Spanish,
will have business advantages not
open to others.

Abraham Lincoln once talked about
the tariff, and he said he didn't know
much about it. And then he laid down
this proposition that is the very es-
senee and soul of the protective tariff
system: "When we buy manufaetur-
ed goods abroad. we get the goods
and the foreign manufacturer gets
the money When we buy manufac-
tured goods at home, we get both the
goods and the money. When an Amer
lean bought $40 worth of steel of
an English manufacturer, America
had the steel and England had the
money. But when he paid his money
for the steel to an American manu-
faeturer America had both the steel
and the so" And that wasn't an
argument at all; it was just one of
the plain facts. even as it is now,
that Lincoln stated in such a way that
no man can misunderstood it.
