How many of us realize how much
the other fellow can help us achieve
what we are working for?
How many of us realize how much
we will help ourselves by boosting our
competitor instead of knocking him?
To those of us who do not, the
above picture, from Armour, will carry
its own message. No amount Of rea-
soning or logic could show any more
clearly and definitely just what CO.
operation means.
Let's all apply it to our own busi-
ness this year and wait for results.
NEGROES, STUDY THIS PICTURE.
THEN ACT.
The Star prints the above lesson in
order to convince some of the most
skeptical Negroes of Denver and Colo
RADIO, as well as elsewhere, what it
will mean for ten millions of Negroes
whose minds, hearts, objects, pur-
poses, ambitions and work are dog
gedly set up on one certain thing
elimination of all caste, prejudice and
inequality for every one-Or certain
things of uplift to humanity, and what
a unified action can do. This lesson
applies to Negroes who patronize
others than their own in business,
man or men running in business.
Patronize him or his competitor of
color. Every nickel taken from the
business and professional man of color
only weakens him and strengthens the
chains OF prejudice and unfair COM
petition upon your necks, besides
helping the race who least need your
help. We are our own masters, if we
would rightly and intelligently use
what means which are ours. Think
of 100 Negroes putting 81 aside a
month in a colored company or in a
bank and buying pigs, horses, cattle,
chickens, turkeys and Belgian hares
and putting those animals on the
ranches of our Negro farmers, what
would it mean in two years to the
farmer, yourself and our Denver COM
munty? A Negro auto transportation
service, Negro commission merchant
and produce dealer, Negro distributor
of eggs and poultry to Capitol Hill
customers and Negro general store
in the farmers settlement all because
Denver and Colorado Negroes are
working together Study this picture
and wisely develop your money and
brains.
Again, let us suppose every female
who needed such an article would
patronize the only corset maker in
Denver and in Colorado, Miss Beatrice
Lewis, in one week she would be COM
PEELED to hire extra help. Suppose
that in July, when the Prince Hall
chapter of the o. E. s. meets in Colo
rado Springs, that the women have
exhibits and displays for their inspec-
tion, thoroughly showing that cooper
ative spirit. When the calves decid-
ed to get together for their own
benefit first all opposition failed.
Unity leads to conference which will
ultimately result into cooperation so
stick together IL you have to hang
together in parts. Success crowns all
cooperative efforts.

Poem In Memory of Frederick Douglass
John E. Bruce Grit" the well known
newspaper correspondent of New York.
has written the following poem in
memory Of Frederick Douglass:
Douglass, farewell. and yet say not fare
well,
For thoust only gone across the border
line.
We know that thou hast pierced the mys-
tic VEIL
And thou hast solved the riddle. and the
prize is thine
Death is no longer death, but life to thee.
Thou hast at last won Immortality. '
In thy heart was real hospitality.
Now thou resteth in Him and to rest Is
divine.
Douglass, farewell! Thy memory is the
shrine
At which we bow and lay our offerings.
With saddened hearts to thee who in thy
prime
Didst nobly battle against the mailed
kings
And won true freedom for those who once
were things"
The laurel wreath rests on thy sable brow
And we who love thee sing thy praises
now.
All. thy praises rest in hearts and
sing in our beings! t

o. il. In that consciousness, despite
many divisions, we have drawn closer
together. We have been deeply
wronged upon the seas, but we have
not wished to wrong or injure in re-
turn; have retained throughout the
consciousness OF standing in some
sort apart. intent upon an interest
that transcribed the Immediate Is
sues Of the war itself. AS some OF
the injuries done us have become
intolerable we nave still been clear
that we wished nothing for ourselves
that we were not ready TO demand

tice. the freedom TO live and be at
ease against organized wrong.
1t is in this spirit and with this
thought that we have grown more
and more aware, more and more GER
tain, that the part we wished TO play
was the part Of those who mean to
vindicate and fortify peace. We have
been obliged to arm ourselves to
make good our claim to a certain
minimum of right and of freedom of
action.
We stand firm in armed neutrality,
since it seems that in no other way
can we demonstrate what 1t is we
insist upon and cannot forego. We

stances. not by our own purpose or

No Turning Back Now
From World Citizenship

But nothing will alter our thought
or our purpose. They are too clear
10 be obscured. They are too deeply
rooted in the principles of our ma
tional life to be altered. We desire
neither conquest nor advantage. We
wish nothing that can be had only
at the cost of another people. We
always professed unselfish purpose
and we covet the opportunity to
prove that our professions are sim
cere.
There are many things still to do
a. home, to clarity our own politics
and add new vitality to the indus
trial processes of our own life, and
we shall do them as time and oppor-
tunity serve, but we realize that the
greatest things that remain to be
done must be done with the whole
world for stage and in cooperation
with the wide and universal forces Of
mankind, and we are making our
spirits ready for those things. They
will follow in the immediate wake OF
the war itself and will set civiliza-
ton up again.
We are provincials no longer. The
tragical events of the thirty months
of vital turmoil through which we
have just passed have made us citi-
zcns of the world. There can be no
turning back. Our own fortunes as
a nation are involved, whether we
would have it so or not.

the more American if we but remain

have been bred. They are not the
principles of a province or of a sin

That all nations are equally in
