AWAITING THE GOVERNORS
- ACTION.

The Star announces that it has moi
as yet received any accurate report
OF that 500 in gross distributed In
such way as to cause the public to
inquire, who got the money" from
the dance given under the guise OF
grand military reception" and
drilling contest for the benefit of
the Colorado Colored Battalion?" We
have asked the Governor and General
Baldwin to defer all action in the way
of the appointment of Captain Of the
recruiting officer until the accounting
is made. We think that not only Den
yer is interested but that the State
of Colorado is vitally interested, who
collects money for one purpose and
uses it for another. Negroes of the
State Of Colorado and Denver, do you
really know what was said to Com
missioner of Supplies Bailey to get
that great Auditorium free? Now will
you sit idly by and let a thing like
that go without showing your disap-
proval? We have now and before now
called your attention to these matters
and II the Governor and General Bald
win are willing to set their seal of
approval upon such actions by rati-
flying and confirming them by the ap-
pointment of him, as captain, The Star
is surprised and places the full re-
sponsibility upon them for such. acts.
We can see very little difference in
this case and in the Overmyer case.
The accounting in one case was de-
manded and certain action was taken
when it was not granted. The Star
thinks the principle of accounting is
the same in both cases. Therefore,
as we close, we ask: How was that
s4oO expense money" split and who
really got the money and wants to
keep it from the public as secret?
Somebody has fooled somebody, while
somebody got the money If you want
to know who really handled and got
the money ask the various officers?

WHO is LOOKING AFTER THE
MONEY TO BE RAISED FOR
THE COLORADO COLORED
BATTALlON2

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 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 to
go finally into what persons pocket
We shall use every effort to ascertain
who figured in the pie" and report
to you.

The Outlook, InIook and UpIook

The Outlook, InIook and Uplook.
The Negro battalion in Ohio to be
led by Col. Young, has been mustered
out. The Negro officer and soldiers
have been shown by this administra.
tion that their services are not want
ed. They have volunteered and have
been fatty turned down and must
wait until they are drafted. Ameri-
cans are making this 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-as turn our minds,
hearts and activitieC 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 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 laboring man distinctively,
yet unwelcome 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 1t or how to handle it. AS
a manufacturer, 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 condi-
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.
II 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.

TO TELL A SLEEPS
AGE by THE THETH

A lamb has eight small first-teeth
on the over jaw. When the animal
reaches the age of about one year,
the middle pair are replaced by two
permanent teeth; at the age of about
two, the teeth on either side of these
permanent teeth, are also replaced
with a permanent pair; at the age Of
three, the next tooth on either side
gives way TO a permanent tooth; AMI
at about the age of four, the last or
back teeth are replaced in like man

Briefly then, sheep with one pair
If permanent teeth is a yearling; a

After a sheep is four years old,

High cost of labor in the United
States and of railroad as compared
with ocean transportation have also
stood in tho way of the domestic in
dustry.
Quarrying of the Bavarian stone,
however, involves the handling OF
large quantities of waste. and the
waste piles around the quarries to-
day form hills of considerable size.
The marketing of crushed stone and
similar products from the Brandon
burg quarry should go far toward
eliminating the cost OF quarrying
from the expense OF preparing litho-
graphic stone. With this advantage
Il may he possible, even after the
European war is over, to market the
Kentucky stone in competition with
the Bavarian stone, the better grades
OF which under normal conditions

GREATEST OF TAX
IMPOSERS KNOWN
PRESENT ADMINISTRATION DE
vISEs MORE WAYS TO TAX
PEOPLE.

The national administration Is
without a rival in one respect IL
has devised moro varieties OF taxes
than any since the Civil War, when
the fate OF the Nnion was in the bal
ance. In addition to its tariff for
revenue only and tho ordinary inter
nal revenue taxes. IL has levied in
ereasing taxes on individual incomes
and abolished the exemption on cor
porntion taxes. II has invaded the
villages and cities and taxed circus
~, theaters and pool tables. IL has
demanded n toll from the mourning
widows and orphans. For a time II
collected pennies at the telephone
booths and telegraph Offices and add
ed insults to injury by taxing debtors
on the evidences OF their Indebted
ness. But after all these heroic ef-
forts to wiring more money from the
people by oppressive taxation, as the
Baltimore platform would say, the
prohigate waste of II leaves a huge
deficit looming.
DIR. McAdoo recommends that the
patient be blod again. lie would in
crease the inheritance tax 80 per
cont ~ n starter. This has always
been considered tax on privilege
and there is no national privilege,
since there is no inheritance under
the federal laws. but little things like
tx do not count with this admins
tra'ion, when 1t sees tho prospect OF
getting another S22.OO0,OOO a year
TO squander. But even this will not
b. enough. An additional tax on
profits of corporations and partner
. s5tDs is proposed. II has come TO
TIA attention OF DIR. McAdoo that
some OF them are guilty OF the scan
dalous offense of making over S per
cent on their investment. He would
levy another s or 10 per cent on this
excess. Some may get around II by
paying their officers bigger salaries
and leaving nothing for the common
stockholders, but after allowing for
that. DR.. McAdoo figures that he can
get $500. 900. 900 year from this
source. This would he more than
half the amount the niggardly Re
publlcans spent for all government
al purposes. when they had charge
OF affairs. But DR.. McAdoo is taking
no chances. He knows the war may
end. which might cause a slump in
profits. The most improbable ru-
NOR OF peace is enough to shake the
market AS a matter Of precaution,
he would have Congress authorize a
bond issue of $3.50, 100000, SO the
country might have some souvenir
OF this administration.
