AN APPEAL TO JUSTICE-LOVING
MEN AND WOMEN.
Doing the Square Thing—Are You
One?
The Ministerial Alliance of Denver,
together with the Denver People’s Al
liance, after a thorough investigation
of the case of J. W. Jones, have de
cided that his is a worthy cause for
the charity and assistance of all col
ored men and women. It appears
that in self defense he killed another
man. He w r as tried and sentenced to
hang Dec. 15, 1914. Ex-Gov. Ammons
reprieved him until May, 1915. We
must raise S2OO to get his case to
the Supreme court before that time.
Jones is without friends, has no mon
ey and faces death. We believe the
Supreme court will rule in his favor.
We must raise S2OO. We appeal to
vou. Act at once. Send your dona
tions to Titus S. Rector, 2716 Welton
street, Denver, Colo.

Dear Sir: Upon reading of Mr.
Jones’ unfortunate position through
the medium of the Denver Star, I
have interested what few colored
boys that are members of the state
road gang.
I myself am a victim of unfortun
ate circumstances; incidentally I am
serving a sentence of 15 years for an
seventy-five cents ($3.75) and we re
quest the same to be used in his de
fense.
In conclusion we can only hope
and pray that Mr. Jones may be prop
erly vindicated when his case reaches
the Supreme court.

You Can Save Him With Your Mite.
The Ministerial Alliance, assisted

appealing to the men and women in
Denver and out in the state and out
side of this state to save the life of
their fellow man, who Is condemned
to die May 13. Money is needed to

did not have a fair trial and he is
helpless, penniless and friendless, yet
he is some mother’s son and some
sister’s brother. Will you send your
contribution to T. S. Rector, 2712 Wel

BUILDING FOR FUTURE—LET US
THINK ON THESE THINGS.
Nothing was more impressive and
more inspiring to the Star Sunday aft
ernoon than to see our two undertak
ing establishments busy giving the
best kind of efficient service. At
Shorter was the Cammel & Co. and
at Campbell Chapel was the Douglass,
each vieing with the other in trying
to give the public the best that was
in their line. It lent encouragement,
aspiration and gave substantial hope
not only to them but to the young boy
who looked upon them trusting they
could hope to do the same in the fu
ture, providing they w T ere competent.
But who made it possible for the busi
ness men of color to render such ex
cellent service? The people of color
simply by hiring their own, gave.these
men a chance. The Negro business
man has been thrown upon HIS OWN
RESOURCES to live or die, survive
or perish. What one of you will crip
ple him by withdrawing your support
from him? Did you ever thiqk how
it looked at a Negro funeral where
there were Negro choir, Negro minis
ter, Negro pallbearers and Negro con
gregation and a white undertaker had
charge of a Negro body. He was sim
ply out of place. Turn the picture and
look at a white choir, white minister,
white pallbearers in a white church
with a Negro funeral directors and
undertaker in charge of the white
body. Would not the Negro business
man feel out of place beside the si
lent reflection and confession of in
efficiency on the part of the Caucas
ians. Then why should you, you and
you, mistreat your colored business
men who have already been burdened
down with too many handicaps? Let
us think on these things and make
our business men as big and great as
any other people. us build for
the future.

POLITICAL TALK
AT OHIO CAPITAL

i dldates For Presidency.
tIEW REGIME TO THE FORE.
Question of Leadership Among
Our Pooplo Sooma to Contor In
Flaming of Clavolond —Noxt National
Campaign Will Shm Strength of
«VX>O Ohio Colored Man.
Oolombus, O—The fact that Ohio
baa boon given tbe title of "Mother
of PreetdeutH" and that there are at
thla early date no fewer than four na
tive aona prominently mentioned aa the
probable coterie from which the next
chief executive of the nation will be
chosen, a few expreaalona concerning
what'a going on among the Afro-Amer
ican voters, 80.000 strong In Ohio, may
not be amiss.
There are a few clear cut facta con
cerning tbe colored cl tissue of Ohio—
to wit, they are the balance of power;
they are for the moet part men of In
telligence; they have never been given
a true American square deal, and, last,
but not least, they now have a keen
realisation of their position In the body
politic. They are now on the Job. It
would be folly to say that tbe colored
voters of Obio since the advent of the
Republican party have never been giv
en proper consideration. They have
certainly. Bo has flood prevention, bnt
there has been more talk than action.
Bo .with the voter of darker hue.
We often hear of the “good old days"
referred to and how “in ancient times
a little band of Spartans” did thla and
that and tbe other. And recently a
well known newspaper writer and for
mer federal olflee bolder contributed an
article to an eastern newspaper In
which he abed copious tears because
under the "new regime,” as be face
tiously calls It. things are not as they
use to be, particularly in Cleveland,
the nation's sixth city ahd the Ohio
metropolis
If there is a new regime, and let’s
admit there Is It Is not because tbe old
guard pasted their powers and honors
over with gracious and Impressive cere
mony. Nay. nay. Pauline. That would
have been tbe “Peace on earth, good
will way.” but It Is not the way the
new regime got on board. They simply
bad to light like Hannibal, Inch by
inch and step by step, until they creas
ed the Alps of success. And tbe sto
ries of these battles royal would rend
like Action.
Tbe first second and third battles
of Cleveland; the first and second bat
tles of Columbus; tbe battle of Dayton,
the battle of Chicago and others, make
up the scenes.
And today General Thomas W. Flem
ing of Cleveland, ex-councilman, law
yer, genial fellow and race loving,
stands at tbe head of the Ohio Afro-
American Political brigade. Up to thla
writing Fleming's only official passport
la reduced to the only race representa
tive on the state Republican executive
committee. The author of the new
regime article said Fleming would be
more successful If be bad a big bank
roll behind him. It Is true that Flem
ing la not a rich man. and It la to his
credit that Instead of being selfish un
der tbe Influence he has wielded, and
thinking only about a little “spare
change” for himself, he has always
worked faithfully for the advancement
of hie fellow mail.
It Is seldom that public men of the
race go forward for the “good of the
cause" as Fleming does. I-et him be
convinced that tbe race deserves a cer
tain political place, and he finds a man
whom he feela worthy and capable of
filling tbe place, be will fight the cause
of that man. day or night, until he la
definitely appointed or until be U ab
solutely turned down.
One of the strong polnta In favor of
Fleming's success Is his ability to
gamer about him men who believe In
him and who will “work their heads
off” In csuses that Interest him. He
has a large following throughout the
state, as well as In his home city,
Cleveland. Fleming la never too busy
to give the humblest pedestrian the
glad band or receive said humble pe
destrian In bis office and. giving him a
helping band and sunny amlla, wish
him good luck.
Tbe new regime has an Organisation.
They are in touch with every city and
town In the state of Ohio where there
are colored voters. There Is no dispo
sition-to “lord”, the game. It la an
“each for all and all for each” propo
sition. There Is no ring or clique with
in which only the chosen few may
move and have their being. Tbe new
regime pursues the open door policy,
and any who can honestly aay “broth
er” may enter and be one Of tbe pha
lanx.
With Republican leadership again In
tbe fore, the new regime of Ohio baa
come unto Its own. Tbe gates of suc
cess stand ajar, and tbe door of op
portunity Is open. Men, high minded
men. are at tbb steering wheel, and
they will accord to our division of
i mankind, our loyal citlsenshlp. proper
recognition. And those recognised will
not rest their onrs and dream of peace
and plenty, hut will continue the fight
In the Interest of better citlsenshlp.

Dear Mrs. Carter:
Your Growing Oil Is certainly a "wizard." You
know how discouraged I was with "scalp special
lsts” when I first came to you about eighteen
months ago, hut under your treatments, with the
use of your wonderful growing oil my hair has
long since stopped falling, and Its growth has
been so remarkable that I am afraid to measure
It for fear of bad luck. Yours truly,
- MRS. NANCY THOMAS.
Denver, Colo., Feb. 23, 1915.
' It is with much pleasure that I give my testi
monial, with many others, In favor of Mrs. Jessie
Carter’s Hair Grower. When I began using the
Hair Grower, about a year and a half ago, my
hair was In very bad condition. During that time
I have had my hair treated regularly every two
weeks and there has been remarkable Improve
ment. My hair has grown several Inches and is
entirely free from dandruff. I am pleased to rec
