MODERN ADVERTISING.
y ginning. Of Tai. Method of Selling

y ginning, Of This Method OF Selling
Ia the East.
Fifty years ago it was considered be-
meath the dignity of many su .tantial
concerns to advertise. beyond the in
sertion In the newspapers of an occa-
sional business card. Some Of the ex-
periences of that time show how re-
Gently advertising, as we know 1t, has
developed. A retail hardware house
in an Eastern city once found itself
possessed OF ten times the number OF
articles of a certain kind that 1t had
intended to buy. As they had been
ordered especially for a new hotel. and
were OF peculiar design, there seemed
TO be no way Of disposing Of them ex-
cept at a merely nominal sum. One
OF the younger men connected with the
concern offered to move them" at q
fair price. provided he be permitted to
advertise. The suggestion encoun-
tered much opposition. but finally a
small sum was set apart to carry 1t
out. Tho advertisement was drafted
in an attractive way and the people
soon began to buy the new article.
Finally the house was obliged to send
to the manufacturers for more. When
the next seasons trade opened, tho
member of-thn firm who had most op-
posed the experiment whispered to the
young man that he had better write
out few notices "and put them in
the papers" From such beginnings
the advertising practice has come.
Thousands of dollars are now spent.
not only in advertising itself, but in
devising clever catch-words ingenious
phrases and illustrations which will
stick in the memory Of the reader, as
well as new general methods. No
doubt money may be wasted in ineffec-
tive advertising. or in advertising
worthless goods But on the other
hand, fortunes are made where there Is
in an article a happy union between
publicity and merit.

PUBLICITY PROMOTES REFORMS.

The Record of this city ought to uu.
derstand thst there are two sides to
every controversy, and it is a very
narrow newspaper that will assume to
sit IN Judgment on any matter with
only ex parte evidence at hand. Diff
ferences Of opinion will always exist
as to the merits of public men, whether
they be priests or politicians, and those
who venture into the white light of of.
fetal station, must be thin skinned
to offer puerile objections or complain
like babies when asked to account for
their stewardship. When charges are
made in the public prints, whether
true or false, investigation is the only
method by which the acts may be
made known, and justice established,
An equal chance and fair play is the
invariable policy of The Colored
American in handling any subject
deemed worthy of notice, whether It
concerns political party, social organ
ization or religious denomination. Anv
other course would be fossiIism person..
fed. The people are entitled to know
the trend Iof sentiment concerning

TUSKEGEE'S OPEN DOOR.

The cry from some quarters that
Booker 7. Washington is "buying
up'' all the promising college gradu
ates and ''carting them off to Tuske
gee' to cripple the higher educational
forces is the veriest rot. Such inane
gable is unworthy place in the
columns of newspaper that is sup
posed to cater to the instruction of in
telligent readers, Mr.. Washington
has engaged number of graduates
from various colleges, from which each

needs. He is giving these young peo'
pie an opportunity to work for their
own benefit, and Is at the same time
bringing into the Southland the flower
of the races intellect, that has been
nurtured and fostered in the best uni

the black belt an uplifting agency that
might not otherwise be dawn thIther
"a leaven that is certain to tighten
the whole lump of ignorance and shift
lessness. Trained minds, to train other
minds, are what the race needs, and
Mr.. Washington is rendering the en-
tire nation a Iservice in choosing the
very best material available to aid
him in his great cause. The men and
women chosen this year are types of an
increasing class of promising Afro
Americans who are making for pro
gress, and in employing them, the
"Wizard" builds wisely and we'll.
Would that more Tuskegees might rise
up to offer an open door to brains and
character. Would that the race would
develop a thousand enterprises of
every variety to provide places where
the commercial, agricultural and me-
chanical genius Of our people could
find avenues towards substantial citi-
zenship!

LEI US LEARN FROM HE IEWs.

Our sympathies are with the Jewish
mourners who followed Rabbi Joseph
the other d,y in n W York to his last
resting place, ami against the black
guards who disgl aced themselves and
the country by their savage attack
upon the funeral procession 1t was
the natural outbreak of race prejudice
that shows its ugly head whenever it
thinks the law is powerless to ad inis-
ter punishment. Prejudice in sny
fern is the foe to Christianity and
good government, and it beheoves all
loyal citizens to take a hand agai st
it. We are glad the Jews are invoking
the aid of the best legal lent to
ferret out and punish the offenders,
and we congratulate them uE on their
prompt and unanimous rally in de.
tense of their rights and racial digni-
ty. No race can inspire res ect that
does not stand ready with purse and
fist to maintain that which it holds as
its sacred heritage-free and un-
trammeled citizer ship, under the avs

PHI,ADE, pHIA RECORD sUsIAINs US

The protest of The Colored Ameri
can against the unfair treatment OF the
Negro soldiers by Adjutant General
Corbin, is stirring up the press of the
country, and a number of leading metro.
pOEtan dailies have been giving. our
candid expose considerable editorial
attention. The Philadelphia Record
q"otes at length from our article, and
gives it a promi ent place in its
columns While taking the view that
the Negroes who saved Gen. Corbin
from disgrace perhaps did no more than
their duty. and that therefore, the lat
ter is not especially indebted to them,
the Record adds this s2ckdolager," a
parting shot that rings out like a
clarion note, sLetaining Unequivocally
the position of The Colored American:
"None the less, from the sfas point
of the party that armed the Negro VIII b
the ballot and which calls upon him to
stand up aud fight the foes of the Re
public, there is no sd quate answer to
the questioning of this Negro editor. ("
And it may be that the prejudlced
Corbin will not attempt to make any.
Our only resort is an appeal to our
sOldier-president, Theodore Roosevelt.

NEW LIGHTS

Old Wires Said to

to Life.
ELECTRICIAN
CONDEMNS WORK
The Board Of Health Decides to
Make improvements Of the
Insane Asylum.

"A complete new system of lighting
land wiring is to be installed at the
Hospital for the Insane Immediately.
This action was decided upon by the
Board of Health yesterday, upon the
receipt of a report from w L. FraZee.
city electrician, condemning the pres
ent system as unsafe and dangerous to
life and property. The work is to be
done by the Public Works department.
the money coming from the expense
appropriation.
The report of Electrician Frazee was
as follows:
Dr. H. c. Sloggett, President Board of
Health.
Dear Sir-I take the liberty to in
form you in regard to the poor cOndi
ton of all service wires entering all
buildings of the Insane Asylum of
Honolulu. These buildings have been
wired for a number of years, and on
the installation of said wires. soft rub
Der tubing was used for bushing the
holes. and from age and weather this
tubing mas rotted away, leaving wires
bare and in contact With woodwork.
This l report as unsafe, and may
cause fire at almost any time, more
especially during storm, and should
be attended to as soon as possible.
The wiring of the interior of the
building is not according to the rules
of the National Rules of Underwriters,
but with very small expense this wiring
can be put in such shape that it will
be safe.
1 also want to change the system
from fifty-two volts to one hundred
volts, which means the expense of buy
ing about one hundred new lamps.
This change will give a better service
throughout. Another very important
change I want to make is this: At
present the high voltage wires of 1000
volts, encircle the ground on the
mauka and Waikiki sides, which is
dangerous should one of these wires
fall to the ground.
The Improvement is this; it will do
away with the high voltage wires and
enter the ground at the corner for
about $50 feet, and there place a trans
former and transmit the current of 100
through the ground, instead of 1000
volts. This change l will make from
the electric lighting appropriation, but
1 cannot Go this unless the honorable
Boar dof Health will replace the
lamps from 90 to 100 volts.
An estimate for the above changes,
including labor, material and lamps,
will not exceed $125.
1 will direct the work personally ana
it as fast as possible.
Trusting you will bring this before
the board and act favorably upon it,
with a reply, I remain, yours truly,
w. L. FRAZEE,
Government Electrician.
