wait until they are drafted. Ameri-
cans are making this a color line war
on this side of the water, since that
is SO and the white man is in power
is graphing with a powerful enemy in
a ruthless war, let us turn our minds,
hearts and activitiea to other voca-
tions in life. We know Of no instance
that a Colored man or Colored COM
mittee or board has actually been
called into a council of war to par
ticipate in the discussions OF what the
vital needs and resources OF his peo-
pie were. We know that the Negro,
next to the Indian, is the original
American. He has been here several
centuries which cannot be said OF any
other race except the Negro. He Is
patriotic to the bone.
Tho a laboring man distinctively,
yet unweIcome in labor organizations,
he must still furnish indispensable
brain and Drawn to and for our indus
tries, now and after the war. At
present he finds plenty Of compare
lively lucrative employment which
might not last always. Never having
had the requisite knowledge of saw
ing, he is now great spender. To
the limited extent to which he has
saved money he has never learned the
best use of it or how to handle it. AS
a manufa cturer, trader, banker,
shrewd stock broker, he is almost
nonentity. He has not learned scien-
tific and commercial organization and
cooperation. But now is the accepted
time to turn a new leaf. Now Is the
time to save money. Now is the time
to plan to start factories and stores
The present war will impoverish
the white people the world over. At
the close of it new economic cond1-
tions will present themselves. In the
new shuttle the colored American may
find economic opportunities never pre-
sented before. But for him to take
advantage of those opportunities he
must have capital and business knowl-
edge Therefore, let him now take up
the study of economic questions,
If denied an opportunity to do one
thing for our country and flag, let us
go right ahead making changes and
forcing opportunities in other direc-
tions. Keep moving; "Perge Modo;"
only go on conquering and making our
way up the hill

WHO is LOOKING AFTER THE
MONEY TO BE RAISED FOR
THE COLORADO COLOREO
RATTAlION7

The Star says now that only re
sponsible people whose records for
honesty, truthfulness and square deal
ing is clear and vouchsafed, should
be entrusted with the handling of the
money gotten from the public under
the advertised plea and that a check
ing account should be inaugurated
and a report made to the people OF
the expenditure of the money In
other words, the Star thinks and says
that the people or public should know
whether the money went to the Off
GERS, the men or for recruiting pur
poses and who raised the money tc
go finally into what persons pocket
We shall use every effort to ascertain
who figured in the pie" and report

down the State as q mere recruiting
officer? Major Williams at the Capt..
tol distinctly stated to the Editor that
there was was no race" issue in the
matter, simply promise made for a
real man to have certain honors, cou.
pied with pay afterwards, If he made
good, and he utterly failed. We say
this because, as you know, a battalion
consists of four complete companies,
and at no time were there three com
panies of Negroes. When the dance
was given and advertised and boosted
FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE COLO
RADIO BATTALION, the whole state
ment was wrong, because there was
no such thing as battalion or four
companies then in action. After get
ting over $500 in gross receipts on the
Auditorium dance, with an expense of
about $400 (more or less) a check, we
are told, of over $4,000 of that money
raised for a specific purpose was
raised for the specific purpose was
given to the recruiting officer for some
reason. A special secretary and
treasurer of the finance" committee
handled the finance and not Messrs.
Lightner nor A. r. Butler, the adver-
tised officers.
These regular officers, SO we are
lOlu, ulu not nanQle any money. Inc
way it looked at the Capitol is that
there would be mo" majorship Great
ed. The recruiting officer may be Of
fered job as captain" of a certain
company under the man he appointed
But 1t is not known now to The Star
whether the recruiting officer will ac-
cept it or not The Star, for reasons,
has strenuously objected to the initial
appointment Of this recruiting officer
because we claim WE KNOW him"
as he thoroughly taught us. And now
we shed no tears nor make any apollo
gies or explanations. We think that
the Governor made a mistake in that
appointment, but we kept quiet be-
cause as we were taught we know
others would be convinced of our po-
sition. Watch how the politics will be
injected in this matter later on. We
call attention now, SO you won't be
'misled then. One certain Colored
newspaper received $5S expense mon
ey out Of the dance given for the
benefit of the Colorado CoIored Bat
talon" and watch what position will
be taken by it, later on.
The Star wants the world to know
that we favored the formation of the
Colored companies, yet we objected
to the recruiting officer.
