glad to state. failed. These are the
kind of white Americans that keep
Uncle Sam worried as their petty
prejudices have gotten the better of
their judgment. and even though
they join in the chorus of UNIVER-
SAL DEMOCRACY, they refuse to
sing the other portion of the song
and are in ignorance of the key note.
But there are white people and
WHITE PEOPLE.
Mr.. Carruth profiting from his
training among business men of
both races, secured his transfer lie
ense without the knowledge of his
opposing petitioners. so in the scheme
to defeat him on non-transference of
his license from his former location,
they failed completely, hence he re-
mains in his business undisturbed.
The Colorado Statesman is glad
to certify Mr.. Bob Carruth's bust
ness advancement, having watched
him grow from a small business
man to healthy competitor, and
this and this only { as is generally
the case) is the cause for such an
un-American action. Restaurants
have been in the vicinity around the
corner of Ninteenth street in dingy,
dilapidated places, but the Night and
Day Cafe, being well fitted up and
made attractive, interferes with the
naughty and prejudiced nature of
the men of small minds. Surely we
can see in these events the volcanoes
that are merely lying dormant under
us. Measure up Negroes! Qualify
and become strong mentally and fl
nancially. A little tells what a
great deal means.

For many years we have been

do for us that which it is now ap-

selves. Various promoting proposi-

not appeal to our citizens in finan-

necessary, If our city is to have this

J. S. Belsinger Will Have
Store in Penn-HarriS

One of the business houses which
will occupy the storerooms in the
Penn Harris Hotel will be a modern
optical store, thesnew home of j. S.
Belsinger, optonletrist and optical
specialist.
]. S. Belsinger launched in bust
ness in Harrisburg on October 27th,
1914, in q room opposite the Or
pheum Theatre. The people accorded
the young business a liberal patron
age from the start.
AS time went on every modern
facility was added to the appoint
ment of the store to make it modern
in every respect. This progressive
ness was Immediately reflected by
the increased patronage which came.
Then came the time when larger
quarters were needed and the busi-
ness was removed to the room next
door to the Orpheum, where it has
since remained.
With the opening of Harrisburg's
newest and finest hotel (and all Har-
risburgers are proud to call it the
finest in the state) an opportunity
was provided for still more modern
quarters and the Belsinger business
leased one of the handsome store
rooms for its new home.
Mr.. Belsinger is anxious to remove
to the new location but as the hotel
is not completely finished he will re-
main in his present quarters for q
few weeks by which time he hopes to
welcome the public to his new busi-
ness home in the Penn Harris Hotel.
