HINkLE MAKING GOOD SILENTLY.

In the Assessors office when it
came to lay off temporary % persons.
naturally one would think little atten-
ton would be paid to efficiency, but
more attention would be paid to favor
ties who had "the pull" Not so IN
that office, the Chief Clerk, Silvers.l
retained only "the heads of depart
ments" among whom was Mr.. Henri
iHinkle, who has revolutionized the
method of handling schedules for time
and condensed many other methods.
eliminating SO much handling Mr..
Pitcher has publicly recognized his
ability and accuracy by loaning him
to the Treasurer's department, to find
clerical errors in the finances. Mr..
Pitcher laid aside race and color and
made the test efficiency and ability,
and Henri Hinkle won out over ~, and
is now spoken of as one Of the heads
of a department. The Birth of Ma
ton discovered a new "soul" in Mr.
Clair ]. Pitcher and his fine treatment
and square deal only makes him big
ger and better true American.

GOALS FOR 1e17-1e1e. WHAT ARE
YOU DOING?

What the best and wisest citizens
and we'll wishers of Colorado and Den
YER desire for themselves and Tor those
with whom they labor, that must the
officials, both city and state desire
for all of its citizens and for all OF
those who happened to be intrusted
to their care for pleasure, comfort and
convenience. In this connection The
Star calls attention to the fact that In
August, The American Woodmen, the
strongest fraternal life insurance com.
pany operated by us in Woodcraft, Will
have its supreme sessions here. Th1s
will bring about 500 Southern and
Eastern delegates to Denver as Den
vers guests. Denver will owe much
to these people, who will come to our
CITY trusting that we, in our own town,
will see to it that they are not rob-
bed. mistreated, neither by white nor
black, yet permitted to see Colorado's
beauties and scenic points in all parts
of our State. Our coal and gold mines,
steel works and everything in farming
and Dearfield should be shown them
with the idea Of interesting them. Ex-
cursions should be run for them to see
ROYAL Gorge, Moffat Snow Capped
Peaks, Georgetown Loop, Pixies Peak
and Cripple Creek. This is our chance!
What are we doing about it? In 1918,
in June, the National Federation OF
Colored Women's Clubs will meet with
us, bringing 500 delegates besides the
hundreds which the low rates Will at
tract. 1t is this grand affair OF the
women which every minister OF this
state, every business, professional,
tradesman, mechanical worker and In
fact any kind of producer or worker
should have on exhibition something
to show those Eastern, Northern and
Southern delegates that the Negro
West is not asleep. The greatest re-
sponsibility is placed upon the women.
our women, because they vote and
have more advantages than others,
hence somebody ought to get busy and
send out notices and arouse our far
mers whom Colorado has honored. Let
It be said truly that Denver is con-
vention city. Interest the Chamber OF
Commerce of our large cities, also
their merchants whose ware and goods
will be bought. Let the goals for l9l7
and 1918 be victory for Colorado to the
end that her unoccupied and unclaim-
ed land will ultimately be taken up
by our farmer guests.

THE NEW DISTRICT ATTORNEY

Our new District Attorney, VIM. E..
Foley, has been sworn in and has be-
come active in the MANAGEMENT OF his
office. We recall that Mr.. Foley was
elected by a majority over Mr.. Giles
pie of 222O votes. The Star claims
that without the Negro votes, Mr..
Foley could never have been elected
and for the reward given or the rec
ognition extended by him thus far, Mr..
Foley has not even considered the Ne
gro in any capacity, so far as his lists
Of appointees are concerned. Mr.. Foley
assured a few people before election
that he would appoint Colored man
in his office. He was elected upon the
strength of that promise-hundreds OF
Negroes thinking that he would keep
his word, voted for him. So far, Mr..
Foley has not done anything for the
Negro. The Star urged Mr.. Foiey,s
election, we trust that Mr.. Foley VIII
make good his solmn promise. Time
can only answer with his action or IN
action.

Sheriff Carr all expressed the opinion
today that Tuesday, June 5, conscrip-
ton registration day, be declared a
public holiday in Richmond, all busi-
ness being suspended and arrange

istration influence was brought to bear

to increase postage rates OF news
papers, magazines and other publica-

ferred with Chairman Simmons Of the
Senate finance committee revising the
bill and urged the committee to adopt

600 this year and more in subsequent
years to second class rates by a tax
reaching from three to eight cents a
pound on advertising portions Of pub
locations. retaining the present rate
only on news space.

cent endorsement before the commit
tee by two Of Mr.. Burleson's chief
aides.
1t was understood that Senator Sim
mons told the postmaster general that
sentiment is not strong in the com
m1ttee for inclusion Of the Hardwfck

SHIPPERS STILL
PROTEST AGAINST
RITE INCREASE

WASHINGTON, May 30.-Shippers
from Vermont to Texas today added
their protests against the proposed
fifteen per cent. freight rate increase
at the interstate commerce commits
sion hearing.
From the south and southwest came
a continuation of arguments from
fruit and lumber dealers; from New
England representatives Of the State
and allied industries brought protests.
To expedite the taking Of testimony
half Of the hearings today were held
before a special examiner, simultane-
ously with the hearings before the
full commission.
A compilation made by the eastern
railroads, represents IS per cent. of
the eastern manufacturers, merchants
boards of trade, banks, business asso-
Citations and individuals who sent let
tiers or kilograms on the subject to
the commission.
The same compilation shows 76 per
cent. of the communications as favor
ing the general advance of fifteen per
cent. Five hundred communications
the railroads compilation shows, as
coming from the important eastern
traffic centers and urging the full Is
per cent. increase. Only seven per
cent are shown by the railroad fig
ures, as being against the increase.
The general effect Of the statistics
prepared by the railroads from the
commissions records is to show that
an Overwhelming majority of the ship
ming interests recorded favors giving
the railroads higher rates.

ATTEMPT TO SPLIT
wayne DELEGATION
IS MADE BY HOUGH

VIII Hough of Greenfield, a candt-
date for the Republican congressional
nomination, while in Richmond Mon
day, 1t was learned today, attempted
to split the Wayne county delegation
to the Republican convention by ap-
preaching several we'll known Rich
mond party leaders and urging them to
enter the contest for the nomination.
Hough realized the fact that if the
Wayne county delegation was united
in support of one Wayne county can
didate no other candidate had chance
of becoming the party nominee.
Seeks to Split Vote.
Therefore Hough, while he was in
Richmond, put forth every effort to in
duce some Richmond man to contest
with Robbins for the support of Wayne
delegation.
There are aspirants for the Repub-
lican nomination in nearly every
county other than Wayne, although
Hough and Elmer Bassett of Shelby
vile are the only two who hate active
ly entered the contest.
1t is generally understood that in the
event the Wayne delegation enters the
convention divided in it's support of
two or more Wayne county candidates
such action will be signal for every
aspirant for the nomination, active and
receptive, to get into the fight. And
in such event 1t is almost an assured
fact the nomination will not go to
Wayne county many.
Wayne County Man Sure.
If Wayne county gives it's solid sup
port to one particular candidate that
man is practically sure of nomination,
for both the Rush and Henry delega-
tions are pledged to support any can
d1date that Wayne county is united on.
There are many reasons to believe
that solid delegation of supporters
of the candidacy of Byram c. Robbins
will be selected next Monday evening
at the ward and township meetings
held throughout Wayne county.
His candidacy has proved a very
popular one and friends of the young
attorney in every voting precinct in
the county have now effected organiza-
lions to support him.
