SLEEPING AT THE SWITCH.

The Denver Star endorses the ideas
for which the Negro Commercial AS
sociaton stand. We expect to show
by figures just how Negroes who
spend millions of dollars annually are
not cooperating by team work and
hence lose the value of the knowledge
of what little money coming from
thousands of people will do for US as
it is now doing for Others Don't
knock that Association, if you don't
fully grasp it's possibilities keep quiet.
We must take what we have and
make what we want out of 1t. Be pa
tient and stick together, more SO now
than ever. When our leaders begin
to open your eyes with facts and fig
ures, you will marvel why you have
been sleeping SO long. The Star ex-
poets great things from this body who
only ask that you cooperate with
them. Education, organization, CO.
operation with little finance will do
wonders Tin Denver; 10000 Negroes
in Colorado earning s100 yearly only
means two million dollars spent every
year and not Que Negro getting one
quarter of the Two millions. Cannot
you see that the fault is with us. We
earn and spend the money, but not to
our advantage. Our leaders are begin
ming to study economics.
The big N. A. A. c. P. campaign is
on for membership, 81 year. Do you
belong? | do. Why don't you? Have
you dollars worth of race pride?
Let us get busy and join and don't
wait until trouble overtakes US, and
then run with mass meetings and the
like to half do in hurry what we can
carefully plan out. Has Pueblo or
Colorado Springs N A. A. G. P?
Yet they are race loyal. Let us get
closer together.

=, The supreme moments of our struggle with
Germany have now come.
We have carried our first armies across three
thousand miles of ocean and joined the issue
of battle with the military power of nation
that has been for forty years preparing it's
plans and its weapons for it's present attempt
to dominate the world We have had to put
forth an immense effort and spend fabulous

sum in order to make, in so short time. an
adequate beginning for our gigantic task.
But it is only our beginning We must follow
it with greater energy and support it with
increasing power. Men, munitions, ships and
supplies must go to Europe in larger and larger
stream. We must redouble our blows and add
constantly to the strength of those blows, if
our initial effort is not to be wasted.
The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1918-09-07

We are fighting for the liberty of the world
for the triumph of our ideals of democracy and
sef-government over the last great advocate OF
force upholding injustice We are buying with
our Liberty Loans the security and Joy of our
people for generations to come No price could
be too high to pay for such victory-no cost
too great for such purchase.

to a shelf. He stepped on a big
tin thing and it tumbled onto the
floor and made him so frightened
that he tainted. "Oh, DEAR" he
sighed, 81 wish l was at home.
This city life is too much for me-"
So he ran back to the motor car
and crawled inside his cushion
again and waited for the man to
come out of the store and take him
home. When he got home he ran to
his family and told them of all the
strange sights he had seen in the
city, but he warned them not to go
near the motorcar as it might start
off any time and take them to some
awful places.
The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1918-07-02

Once upon a time a family Of
mice lived in a barn and one day
the man who owned the building
brought in a new motor car. The
mice we're very frightened at first
and didn't know what to make Of
the big machine that snorted and
blew smoke right into their home
hole.
Finally when they found that the
machine was still some of the time
they became less timid and came
out to see what it was made of.
One venturesome mouse found that
it was very comfortable in the cor
ner of one of the cushions where
the leather was torn and hole let
him into the nice, soft hair stuffing
where it was warm and coy.
So he spent much of his time in
his new home and had many a fine
nap inside the cushion. One day
when he was asleep the man who
owned the car came into the barn
started it up and rode away with
it so that when the little mouse
woke up he found himself in a city
street near big building into which
the man had gone to transact some
business.
The mouse crawled out and on to
the sidewalk. He almost was stepp-
ed on and he was so strange to city
that he didn't know which way to
turn or where to run for safety.
So he ran into the store and up

To ponder aud wonder and dream,

With vows well meant, and hours
well spent
l left her and kissed her farewell
Twas the kiss of traitor, and God

This tongue alone can tell.
A curse on the cur and a curse on
her,
For the act of the Judas of old
She let me go, for a sham Stacker
beau,
For his car, his home, and his
gold.
She knew my love was blessed from
above,
And sincere and honest and clean,
But the Slacker's sweet tongue, with
its work well done,
Has furnished my jewel serene.
At night on my post, I have seen
the ghost
When she becons me come kiss
her hand,
She laughingly sneered at my wom-
anish tears.
As / looked at a golden band.
tbs then that l feel sorrof so real
My heartstrings well nigh burst
And l crave for the day whenI
know I'll repay
The Stacker whom l have cursed.
I Jeft my all, at my country's call
To conquer the murderous Hun,
The bullets will scream even then
will dream
Of the girl that the Stacker has
won.
Oh God upon high, if l soon must
die
Let it be in defense of the right
My soul she has killed, but my body
is willed
To the country for which I now
fight.
Our cause is but just, and fight now

No brand Of the Stacker shall

And from this, let no one now
