Rumor has it that the Douglas Apart
ments is about to be Incorporated with
capital stock Of $4,000, the shares Of which
are to be subscribed for by number of
Colored persons. The present owner Of the
building agrees to add twelve more apart
ments to the present structure, which he
says will give the building and it's ground
a value Of $66,OOO He will retain one-sixth
of the stock, which will draw dividends
the same as the other five-sixths. Cayton's
Weekly is of the opinion that 100000 is
a pretty stiff price for the Douglas even
after the proposed improvements have been
made. The income Of the Douglas at pres
ent is between $500 and $500 per month
and the proposed improvements would in
crease the above amount 1850 per month
providing they rented for $50 per apart
ment, giving an income of 81 1000 per month
or $4,000 per year, if every apartment is
rented every month. 1t would be impossible
for a company to operate the Douglas for
less than $500 per month overhead charges,
which would leave $4,000 per annum to
apply on interest, taxes and upkeep. The
interest on $4,000 at 8 per cent would
amount to $500 per annum The taxes
would amount to not less than $1,000 per
year and the depreciation at least $1,000
per annum. The U. S. income tax would
amount to at least $500 per year, all of
which would figure up to aoout $4,000 per
year, to pay which $4,000 from rents will
be handed over. The Douglas is doubtless
a money maker as it is now conducted but
in the hands of corporation capitalized on
that particular property it would never be
able to see it's fathers face in peace. This
article has been handled as a business
proposition and for no selfish motives. If
it were capitalized for $4,000 it might
pull through, but even then it would pay
very small dividends on the money in
vested.

THE DOOR OF HOPE

THE DOOK OF HOPE
The year 1919 swings the door of hope
ajar and the man or woman of the race
need not pass up the opportunities of the
moment as they come trOoping before them.
They will have much to do with keeping
the door Of hope ajar just in that proper
ton as they help themselves to enter fields
of usefulness and service.
The old order is rapidly being out grown.
the garment must be cut differently to fit
the live, wide awake Negro, who has his
heart set upon nobler and better things in

It's golden spendor, radiant as it sparkles

about to strike the hour. The hour for
which he has struggled, watched and wait

city street tells him many things.
The whistles blow, and the noisy hum of
industry tells him that men who think and
dream evolves new truths, truths worked
out into living FORM and actuality The
factory tells him that practical problem
is being worked out, people thrive by en-
ployment, and the financial prospect enun-
ciates the fundamental stimulus. Profit
looms large to the sensible investor of small
means when the commodity is a necessary
one in spite of competition
We are to enter in at this door of hope
and do our part of the making and selline

forever and eternally doing only the buying

We cannot hope to create large individu-
ais among us, men and women who by COM
merclal rating can have voice in the
chambers OF commerce, the trade unions etc.,
just by vo1clng our approval, we must with
our mean cooperate together our heart and
race feeling and build larger and greater
things than we have ever built.
We suffer deprivations of our own max

IS IN our hands. Inactive we are impotent,

We must not continue to carry all our
power and pile it up in some others cash

offered us much. The strength of united
forces is the power that has long operated

Old time King county politicians held
their breaths for a second, when, one day
this week, they read an account of the
death of Don Mckenzie He was a clever
politician, but very set in his way. Though
OF southern stock, yet he was an uncompro-
missing Republican, While never a politi-
cal boss, yet he was an able lieutenant In
the hay day of his political career in Seat
tie Don Mckenzie made smooth sailing for
the bosses by endearing all those he came
in contact with to him. He counted j.
Edward Hawkins, Judge Gideon S. Bailey,
Allen A. Gamer, Britton Oxendine, I. I.
Walker, S. j. Collins and other prominent
colored men of the county among his close
political friends. He was liberal with his
money, which is largely responsible for
him being without funds at the time Of his
death.
John H. Ryan, publisher of the Forum of
Tacoma, did small political stunt in the
way of political review, in which some of
the members were reviewed at so much per,
all of which reminds the writer Of days long
gone by when both Ryan and the editor
hereof both did similar political stunts at
every sitting of the legislature and each
was more or less successful. Brother Ry-
an and [ made the same mistake that most
colored men do, each thought that he was
the only pebble on the beach and had little
or no time for each other, though strange
to say we remained friends. Had we joined
hands and worked in unison we would still
be issuing the legislative manual and in
after years it would when many numbers
would have been bound, become valuable
political history of the state If was sad
mistake, but it cannot be recalled.

Substltutions for the horse have so
far failed to diminish his number on
farms, where he is mostly bred. The
railroad did not verify the common
prophecy of the horses gloomy future
nearly a century ago, and many years
elapsed before the heyday of the BIZ
cycle arrived with its expected menace
to the horse. That machine of pleas
ure and toll diverted attention from
the first real antagonist of the horse,
the electric street railway. and this
was formidable one. Street-car serv-
Ice could not have been developed by
horses to the extent that 1t has been
carried by electricity, yet there was an
enormous displacement of horses
when they no longer pulled street cars.
1t IS roughly estimated that 100000
horses would be required to move the
street cars now In city service, and
that farmers would need to keep a
stock of perhaps 100000 horses to
produce this supply. Yet, horses kept
on increasing.
Apparently the most effective foe of
the horse has appeared in the last ten
years In the motor vehicle although
its Importance in this respect Is pop
ularly exaggerated. According to sta
tistes collected by the United States
department of agriculture, the total
state registrations of motor cars were
$4,000 in 1906, about 100000 in 1910,
over 100000 in 1919, over 100000 In
1915, and 3,512, 996 in 1916.
Automobiles do not merely displace
horses but many are used by men in
occupations dependent on either horses
or automobiles for personal movement,
such rs real estate agents. builders
and some merchants and manufactu-
rers, and there is also the large public
automobile passenger service in cities
and, again, the large number of auto
mobiles owned by farmers in place of
driving horses.
With motor trucks and commercial
vehicles the case is different. Here is
clearly II complete substitution of fuel
power for horse power. 1t is the opin-
ion that every motor truck on the nv
erage displaceS three horses. The state
records often merge the registration
of motor trucks and commercial We
hicles with that of automobiles, but,
to the extent that the separation is
made, it is known that 11S,GS2 of the
former were registered in 1916 Prob
