he IS ALWAYS IN IT.

There are very few events of Ma
tional importance to the United
States in which the Colored man has
not figured in some way. We was
with Columbus when he discovered
America; he was among the first to
die in the Revolutionary war; he was
with Jackson in the war of 1872; he
was with Perry in the battle on Lake
Erie; he was in the civil war to the
number of nearly 100000; he was
much in evidence at San Juan Hill;
he was with Peary at the discovery
of the North Pole; he was quite a
feature in the recent Mexican trouble
and now it seems he is to be the
cause of getting us into the world

vent George Washington, the Ameri-

In Colorado the Caucasians have re-
duced the Negro down to the menial
occupations of butler, porter, maids
and the like because Negroes, along
with others in his class, occasionally
receive tip, gratuity or reward. Rep
resentative Harris (Republican) intro
duced and had the bill up for third
reading to make it crime for certain
persons who feel disposed to give or
accept any tip, gratuity or reward.
See the scheme, reduce you to GER
tain condition, not by laws but by
practice and then strike at that con-
dition by law. Two-thirds OF the Ne
groes in Colorado are most directly
affected If Representative. Harris
wanted to help the situation any why
did he not include in his bill somehow
wherein the loss sustained by those
poor, struggling human beings trying
as hard to take care Of their families
as he is trying to take care of his,
would be taken care of, by fixing GER
tain maximum or minimum wage?
His bill creates a loss and makes
criminals out of honest men whose
desire is to live and be honest. Why?
Because some corporations or individ-
uals are making the public do what
they ought to do. But the poor man
suffers and has to pay the freight,
waiting and starving for two years un-
til some relief comes, if at that time.
Negroes, Senator Eaton, Republican,
raises race issue in senate, while Rep
resentative Harris strikes indirectly at
you in the house, both Republicans.
Let us be race men before we are
anything else. Let us be for our
friends, no matter who they are, where
they come from nor what may be their
labels; if they are for us and with US
to the extent of really and substan-
TALLY helping, let us be men and
women enough in this passing crisis
to stick to our friends. On the con-
trary, if any politician or every poll
tician or person who is against us and
our race. let us do the manly thing
and nail him to the cross 80 that he
will ever remember it, no matter If he
is of your favorite party That is
and self-preservation.
Put pin in that. Let the cringing
Negro politicians and sycophants apoi-
ogize Cut this out and save it.

Besides the members of the farmers

the discussions, addresses were deliv-

QUESTION OF PRINCIPLE.
Our countrymen's Patriotism Must Not
BE JUDGED by Sectional Sentiment.

In an article by X. Is. MrWndsun
which appeared recently in the New
York Sun on the attitude of the north
ern and southern white people TOWARD
the colored people as individuals ant,
as a race and whether the colored mail
should fight for his country III case "i
war the writer says:
1t is true that the black man is ne
more the pet of the north. There was
q time that he was. but it seems nov
that he Is the pest OF the south ana
the puzzle Of the north The southern
ers may not be too nearsighted to see
the black mans future nor the north
erners too farsighted TO see his presen,
condition. But it does seem that nei-
ther north nor south has very much
sight when 1t comes to seeing the
black man in the right light. One Is
prejudice blind and the other Is color
blind.
The white people of the south sec
too much Of him. and the white people
OF the north see too little Of him. and
as n rule. the white people of the north
Judge the black race by the few they
see in the northern cities. They mus;
go south to see the black man. We
mean the majority OF the progressive
black men and women. There are
many leaders in the north who are a
strong type of the worth and value of
the black mans genius.
The white people Of the south are
said to love tile individual black man
and hate the black race and The north
erners to hate the individual and love
the race And here we find the black
man again bet ween two extremes The
sOutherners see too much Of him and
the northerners see too little of him.
The first blood shed for Americas $ In
dependence was by Crispus Attucks. D
black man. in Boston. A question
comes in my mind now: Should black
man shoulder a gun and go to war and
fight for this country. country which
denies him the rights Of citizenship un
der a flag which offers him no protec
ton. strips him of his manhood by en-.
acting laws which keep him from the
ballot box. DISTINGUISHED. segregated
against, lynched. burned
at the stake. Jim crowed and disarn
ed? II he fights, and fight he must.
for what does he fight?
Mr.. McWoodson's argument Is quite
logical, but the attitude Of white peo-
pie north or south, whether favorable
or unfavorable toward the cOlored
race. cannot blot out its loyalty to Old
Glory. The Negro will continue to
fight for his country and also fight for
the rights md protection which the
and the flag guarantee to
all Americans without regard to race.

WHO KNOWS?
1t May Mean You or Yours.

Who knows that when your son,
daughter, brother or sister, when
they hear compositions and songs
from Negro authors and composers
that they will not be deeply impressed
so as to either begin to write or sing!
For that reason The Star is urging the
attendance of that Folk Entertainment

The Star feels that where any per-
son desires to emphasize musically
the production of our Negro authors,
that it should at least urge the peo-
pie to turn out en- masse and hear
how Negroes interpret their own
authors.

tunity to go and hear productions Of

WIRE CABLES CARRY HUGE
LOADS IN ITALIAN ALPS

Development Of the telferase or wiro

weights over otherwise impassabl.
mountain chasms has been carried to
an amazing degree of perfection by
the italian engineers under the pres
sure Of the war and the demands OF
the army for quick transportation OF
munitions. supplies and even large
pieces of artillery as an incident TO
the campaign in the Julian Alps.
Reports from the battlefeIds received
here today describe one such system
spanning a valley two-thirds OF a mile
deep. the cable swinging in one stretch
from peak to peak, a length Of four
kilometers or considerably over two
miles and capable OF carrying twelve
ton loads. while another cable, i've kilo
meters long. or about two and two
thirds miles and suspended over a gulf
500 yards deep. is able to transport
loads as large as fourteen tons, which
would easily handle heavy siege guns
with the barrel separated from the
carriage.
The Italian engineers have become
so expert that they constructed some
Of these aerial systems in twenty-four
hours. and they have already built more
than 1000 kilometers of them.
