GOVERNMENT PROMOTES
SEVERAL NEGROES

Washington, ID. C.-When Mr.. EN-
NETT ]. Scott, secretary of Tuskegee
Normal and Industrial Institute, was
called to Washington last October to
serve as special assistant to the Sec
retarv of War, he Immediately re-
quested the Department of Commerce
to release Mr.. William II. Davis, who
for many years had been performing
stenographic and other technical work
in that department of the government.
and who for many years has been Of
ficial stenographer of the National
Negro Business League. Mr.. Davis
was accordingly released and has
been serving as secretary and first
assistant to Mr.. Scott since the be-
ginning of his work in Washington.
The office force was later enlarged
by the addition of Mr.. Charles A. Will
son, of Boston, Mass, stenographic
helper, and within the last few weeks
by the further addition of Mr.. Charles
L. Webb of Chicago. ILL.,, a stenog-
in the United States General Land or
flee, Interior Department, and Mr.. X.
w. Thompson. the well known CORE
spondent, who has been transferred
from the Treasury Department to
serve as assistant in handling the
many intricate problems which come
to the office of the special assistants.
whose bureau looks after matters af-
fecting the interests of colored sol
diers and colored citizens generally
during the period of the present war,
and is acting in conjunction with the
Committee on Public Information and
other agencies of the government in
the important work of stimulating the
continued loyalty of colored Ameri-
cans.
The duties involving upon Mr.. Scott
have grown steadily in volume and
gravity and it has been necessary to
steadily increase his office force to
keep pace with the overwhelming
mass of correspondence that flows
daily in the office and to properly
care for the welfare of the hundreds
of cases that constantly press for
attention and touch. every possible
phase of the activities of the colored
people of the nation.

race. The Negro newspapers have
given most loyal support to the gov
ernment in all of its publicity work
in connection with the war program,
and from a purely commercial angle,
they have demonstrated that they can
carry a message in an effective way

country.

Now that the way has been opened,

established between the Negro news
papers and the advertising men of ma

JAMES C. STARKWEATHER
A Republican Candidate for
District Judge

James c. Starkweather, desig-
mated by the Republican Assem-
bly, as a candidate for District
Judge at the primary election,
September 10th, is a well known
lawyer of this city, and a promi-
nent member of the State Senate.
He was born in Rhode Island, and
is a graduate of Brown Univers-
ity. He studied law at the Bos-
ton Law School, and in 1883 re-
moved to Denver, where he has
since resided, actively engaged in
the practice of his profession. He
has always been a staunch friend
and well wisher of the colored
people, many OF whom have been
numbered among his clients. In
1916 he was elected a member of
the State Senate, and he served
in that body during the regular
and also the special session of
1917. A firm believer in the eight
hour day for those engaged in
manual labor, he especially cham
pioned such legislation for the pro-
lection of women and children.
He was instrumental in defeating
a bill designed to nullify the eight
hour law, so far as it applied to
women working in canning factor
les, and he took an active interest
in proposed laws to protect child
labor in the beet fields. He also
sought to obtain legislation for
the relief of the INDECENT blind.
He introduced and secured the
passage of bill to give to the
school teachers OF Colorado, after
serving a probationary period,
permanent tenure of office, sub
ject, of course, to removal for
cause. Another achievement was
the passage in the Senate, prin-
cipally thru his efforts, of bone
dry law. Had this bill also passed
the House, and been approved by
the Governor, Prohibition in Colo
RADIO would have been an accom-
plished fact, and no necessity
would now exist for the adoption
of the bone dry law, since initi-
tiated by the Anti-Saloon League.
But opponents of the measure
killed the Senate Bone Dry Bill
in the House, and forced the pass
age by the Legislature of the So
called Permit Law" which has
proven so odious and distasteful TO
all true friends of Prohibition i'll
Colorado. He also introduced
and obtained the passage of an
act to enforce a proper respect for
our National Anthem, the star
Spangled Banner" requiring IL
hereafter to be played in public
as an entire or separate composf
ton. and forbidding its use as a
part of a medley. At Special
Session he called attention of the
Senate and of the public TO the
startling increase in the prices OF
the necessities of life, and he de-
nounced, as unpatriotic, all prof
iteering in food, clothing and fuel.
The many friends of Senator
Starkweather are confidently pre-
dieting that at the Primary Eiec-
ton he will be nominated by the
Republicans of Denver for Dis
trict Judge.

x,xun HE economic struggle which
is to follow the conclusion of
peace will be second only to
~ the great war which is now
y y in progress in Europe. With
the end of bloodshed and
strategy on the battlefield, we may
expect to see the world engulfed in

give place to strategy in the market

years after the war Just how the
Negro of America will be placed in
the great readjustment, we do not
know, but it is idle to suppose that
we can pass through this turmoil of
trade without bearing some portion
of the burden, and without wearing
some of the scars of battle. The
signs of the times were never more
propitious with meaning, and there
has never been more urgent need for
forethought and planning ahead.
We are fortunate in having this or
ganization-The National Negro Busi-
ness League, planned by a man OF
Vision and power, which can be used
to help the race meet this new situa-
ton, by joining hands with other
leading organizations of the country.
DIR. Washington, at the zenith OF his
career, foresaw the needs of his peo-
ple. and brought together the most
progressive, the most experienced
business men Of the race in this or
ganization, which is concerted Ell
fort to centralize the commercial ana
financial strength of the Negro In
this great work, he has had the un-
faltering support of Mr.. Napier, Mr.
Scott and other strong men OF the

Savings, Liberty Loan, Food and other
campaigns, we have clearly demon
strated that with proper organization
and effective leadership, surprising
results may be achieved. Let us not
fail, then, to take full advantage of
this new found spirit of cooperation.
AS we have used it in war to mobilize
patriotic sentiment, and promote
thrift, we can use it in peace to fur
tfer greater and : more important
movements, which have for their OBJ
ject, the promotion of progress and
the attainment of economic indie
pendence.
While the Leagues work in the past
has been most successful, it has
moved along more or less inspira-
tional lines, and that was possible be-
cause of the dominating personality
of its Founder. We have lost him
certed, definite, constructive work,
and to realize anything like success
from our future efforts, it appears to
me that we should first decide upon
definite program of action.
1 hope the following suggestions
which l have gathered rather hastily,
may point the way toward something
of constructive nature:
FIRST: We must make up our
minds pretty clearly that we have got
to stand behind our newspapers.
These publications have fought our
battles for Right and Justice and they
have rarely omitted an act or over
looked an opportunity to help, both as
to cooperation in business and among
business men. They have urged our
people to support Negro business en-
terprises and have pointed out that
the only certain road to progress is
the opening up of certain business
avenues for the young men and wom-
en- of the race. No group among our
people has been more persistent, more
patient, more far-sighted, more self
sacrificing than have the publishers
of our newspapers. They have
worked against great odds, with great
est handicaps, and sonnet times, | fear,
with least appreciation. We must
stand behind them and strengthen
them with subscriptions, with adver-
tisements, and with whole-hearted
support. I would like to see move
ment started among these newspapers
in a great effort to secure advertising
of the more important kind. Let the
National League stand with the Press
Association in an effort of this kind
among these publishers. We can per-
feet an organization something like
the Southern Newspaper Publishers
Association, and open offices in the
great advertising centers like New
York and Chicago, and have earnest,
aggressive young men to present to
advertisers and advertising agencies,
the buying power of the Negro race,
and the power of the Negro press. L
am confident that some such effort
will he productive of good and effec-
tive results, and would also give the
race a new contact with the business
men of the country, and what Is OF
equal Importance, it would give the
business men of the white race, new
contact with the business men of our
