NEGRO MUST LOOK
CONTINUED from page j

to suppose that we can pass through
this turmoil Of trade without bearing
some portion of the burden, and with
out wearing some Of the. scars Of bat
tie. The signs Of the times were
never more propitious with meaning,
and there has never been more urgent
need for the forethought and plan
ming ahead.
Stand Behind Negro Prees
First, We must make up cur
minds pretty clearly that we have got
to stand behind cur 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 cur
people to support negro business en-
terprises and have pointed out that
the only certain road to progress is
the opening up Of business avenues
for the young men and women of the
race. No group among our people has
been more persistent. more self sacri-
ficing than have the publishers OF our
newspapers. They have worked
against great odds, with greatest han
dicaps, and sometimes, I fear, with
least appreciation. We must stand
behind them and strengthen them
with subscriptions, with advertise
ments, and with wholehearted sup
port. would like to see a movement
started among these newspapers in a
great effort to secure advertising of
the more important kind"

To each quart of products use six
to eight level tablespoonsful of sugar;
sour fruit, such as plums, 10 spoons.
Thirty-two level tablespoonsful Of
sugar equal one pound; two cups of
sugar equal one pound.
In making jams use about one-half
pound of sugar to one pound of pro-
duct. For jellies from one-half to
three quarters of a cup of sugar will
be required to one cup of juice The
same proportion obtains for MARINA
ladies' and preserves.
Our present shortage of sugar
need not interfere with the fruit
saving campaign. Many Ari-
zona housewives are following
the directions of the Department
of Agriculture in canning fruits with
out sugar
Have jars, jar covers and rubbers
tested and sterilized
If the cold pack method is followed
proceed as when sugar is used. When
the fruit is packed in the jar fill the
jar with boiling hot water. Continue
the processing as when sugar is used.
If the open kettle method is fol-
lowed place the fruit in a preserving
kettle with enough water to prevent
scorching. Simmer gently until the
fruit is tender. Fill jars and seal.
Fruit canned without sugar is ex-
cellent for pie Filings, puddings, ices,
sauces, salads and fruit punches.
In caNAing fruit juices without su-
gar the following method should be
employed
Amy approved fruit jar or empty bot
ties will serve as containers. Be sure
they are thoroughly cleaned and ster-
ilized before filling. Proceed as in the
cold pack method for preserving
fruits.
Or the juice may be heated to the
boiling point in open kettle and the
containers filled and sealed immedi-
ately.

LYNCHlNG BEE

for being brutal, but protestations
seem quite futile, and we're thrown
out of court, if we take ropes, some
victim cinching. and show him that
the lawless lynching is still our out

things moral; we've taken part in Eu-
ropes quarrel to set this planet
straight; we need clean hands, and
these we're lacking if to the elm tree
we go packing the hemp for some poor
skate. The time spent at a lynching
function, where many men, in vain
conjunction, throw golden hours away,
might balk the Kaisers Bill and Char
ley if it were spent in reaping barley,
or baling clover hay. 1t is a waste of
men to hang them; far better round
them up and gang them, and send
them scrap with weapons staple, but
dead guys swinging from a maple can
do no useful stunt. This game, to
which we've been addicted, should be
abolished, or restricted until the war
is done; till this is done the world

WHAT DOES 1T MEAN?
We are publishing herewith a
statement under the caption Of La
Dor Notes" which sets forth the or
ganizing CT union of car cleaners,
composed cf white women in the
Southern Pacific yards, Our atten-
ton was called to this at a meeting
held on aast Thursday night at the
home of Mrs. Lewis Steele, 1857 Sew
enth street, by the colored women
who clean cars in the same yards.
These race women were much agi-
tated over the forming of this union
by the women who work side by side
with them to their exclusion. They
are much concerned because they are
pure, 100 per cent. Americans, while
nearly all of the women who
have formed the union and seem to
have themselves recognized by the
Brotherhood of Railway Carmen are
foreign born and many of them ahe
alien enemies-Austrians Poles, and
what-nots. They propose to protest
vigorously against such flagrant dis
ordinations while the government is
conducting the railroad business in
this country. Some of these colored
car cleaners have relatives near and
dear to them who are fighting in the
trenches cf France to kill forever race
discrimination and to make men and
women free everywhere. Their sons
and brothers are fighting "over there"
these very people that are allowed to
ccme over here and take work with
Americans to the manner born, and
then organize a union to keep them
from work. We wonder will Mr. Nc
Adoo stand for such a thing. Our
Tomen propose TO resist this un-
American step in these foreign born
women, and will call on Uncle Sam to.
help them. They can count on the
support of The Sunshine to help fight
it to the bitter end. If these foreign
ers don't want to work alongside of
the colored women. we suggest to
them to hike it back to their own
country and fight with their kaiser
over there. They are not fighting
against him over here.
We hope those in authority will see
it as we do. For we will not be SO
leeady to give up our boys to go to
France to die for freedom and democ-
racy if we are to be forever humili-
ated and rus he'd by foreign foe in
America and learn-that those in au-
thority allow it to continue, when
word from them can crush this hydra
headed ster-discrimination in
labor.

THE FIGHTING LINE

When Jimmy went to fight the Hun
Across the briny sea,
1t seemed like setting of the sun
To Jimmys ma and me,
And l opine we would repine,
But we've no time. you. see.
For now that Jimmy's gone to fight
To finish off the Hun.
If he's to do his fighting right,
And got 'em on the run,
We've got to hustle day and night
Attacking up of son.
We don't get up at reveille
Or go to bed at taps"
But when the morning whistle blows
There's no more time for maps
We've got to hustle shot and shell
And guns for all those chaps.
Jim's ma is raising garden truck,
One sisters making sass"
Another's in munitions,
And our only other lass
viii be Red Cross nurse right soon
She's leading in her class.
I'm working fifteen hours day
And yet I'm feeling fine,
And when | do get tired, l say,
That I'm a soldier in my way
And on the fighting line.

Dear Fellow Colored Americans
The National Liberty Congress
which recently convened in the city
of Washington. fully accomplished Its
avowed aim and object, viz: ITO press
the just claims OF Colored American
citizens to share in the world democ'
racy, and to take positive measures
to secure from the government guar
antee of the abolition of disfranchise-
ment and of all caste determinations
civil and political"
Expressed in plain uncompromising
English, our just grievances were
brought squarely before the House oil
Representatives, and before the Amer
can people, by said Liberty Congress.
and were made prominent and per.
manent part of the Congressional
Records. June 30, 1879
1t seems providentially fortunate
therefore, that this noteworthy
achievement on the part of the Liberty
Congress is to be so soon followed by
the eleventh annual convention of the
National Equal Rights League, to be
held in September, in the city of Chi
cago.
Our league is to convene in one OF
the most wide-awake political and so
cial centers in the United States and
during a most critical period in the
worlds conflict. From this important
center we shall urge our people to re
main loyal to our country and to the
cause of humanity. We mean to
stand by Old Glory to the death; we
intend also to contend to the death
if need be, for an equal share in that
same democracy for which so many
thousands of brave Colored Americans
are cheerfully pouring out their life's
blood To secure these blessings to
ourselves we must organize quickly
those who are prescribed seeking to
combat prescription.
Therefore, let us get together fol
organization as race to enforce oui
claims to world democracy. Every
church, civic, educational, fraternal
political and business organizations
among our people, without regard tC
sect, sex or party, are invited TO be
represented in the Chicago conven
tion by one, two or several delegates
to deliberate on the organizing OF oul
race for self-defense. An especial ap
peal is made for the quick formation
of equal rights and democracy leagues
or committees for the purpose o
sending delegates to this national con
vention for race organization for lib
erty.
Let every community join this Col
ored Liberty Organization Drive. Lee
us as a race get ready to enforce oul
claim to world democracy as an issue
of this world war
Yours for democracy now,
BYRON GUNNER,
Pres. Natl Equal Rights League

MARCH MILITAIRE.

A PRIZE WINNER in the National
Military March Contest held at Camp
Funston recently and assigned to the
band of the 341st Field Artillery, COM
posed by w. H. Graham of Denver,
Colorado. Mr.. Graham, who is in the
railway mail service of Uncle Sam,
spends his spare time in acquiring the
beautiful art of music and endeavor-
ing to specialize in composition, en-
tered the competition among hundreds
of composers in a march contest de-
picting Western life, and secured one
of the prizes, along with the famous
Arthur Pryor and the popular Neil
Innes, classified among Americas S
foremost band and orchestra leaders
and composers. The numerous COM
positions were submitted to a board
of judges and finally to Lieut.. John
Philip Sousa, who highly commended
the above march and awarded prize
to the composer We gratefully ac-
knowledge receipt of a copy for the
piano, the front page containing a
beautiful portrait of the band, and
the music of such merit as to hold its
own among the compositions of pro-
fessionals. The piece is also pub
lished for band and orchestra and in
the near future, Denver music lovers
will have an opportunity of hearing
it rendered by the Y. M. C. A. Glee
Club orchestra, the Orpheum, Empress
and Tabor Grand orchestras. The
Knight Campbell Music Company, the
old reliable music firm of the West,
offers it to the public, and The Colo
RADIO Statesman joins the many we'll
wishers of Mr.. Graham in congratula-
tons on his success and the inspira-
ton this will give to other members of
our race who are musically inclined.

The above correspondence between
Attorney e. p. Blakemore, recognized
leading lawyer of color in the West,
and City Attorney ]. Marsh is of much
interest to us. as well as of the great
est Importance to the cause we are
championing. especially at this point in
the history of our nation. Anything
savoring of discrimination. whether IN
state, city or otherwise, will materially
lend support to the strengthening of
the accursed prejudice which our sons
are laying down their lives to Grad
icate from the world, and therefore no
time must be lost in suppressing this
evil.
The n. A. A. C. p, always to the front
with an erudite counsel as Mr.. Blake
more, fearlessly advocating the right
eousness of our cause. will always find
support from us and other members
of the community and the fairness in
the dispensing of justice characteriz-
ing our city officials at this time is a
proof that in comparatively short
time Denver will hoist the WHITE
FLAG OF PURITY, proving to America
that she stands 100 per cent American
and has surrendered her prejudice for
a better and more accepted CIVILIZA-
TION. The signs are removed and we
are sure the intelligent standard of
both sides will remove or cause to re-
move any further friction.-Editor.

One Of the most polished and pains

correct spelling as a totally unneces-
sary accomplishment. In his introduc-

myself bound to reproduce all the au-
