Now the Publishers Oil Com
pany would not push out with
the energy they do and offer the
stock in the company for sale if
the managers did not know they
have the best stock offered and
practically the only one of real
merit in the field. Stock in the
Publishers Company has been
SOLD in good faith from the start.
The managers are home men at
Cherryvale of limited means.
They know the stock is valuable,
but to develop the property they
must sci stock. If they were
millionaires or wealthy bankers
they would take the good things
unto themselves as such men
always do. They know also that
they have ten times as many oil
wells as any company Offering
stock, and while jealous COM
panies and spiteful soreheads
may plug and tell falsehoods
about the company, however,
when investors once get down to
the merits in the case they buy
Publishers stock against any
thing in the Central West, be-
cause the company has just what
it advertises. 1t stands on con-
sistent grounds, as the stock
has the assets in sight. The
company can de1iverFORTY-SIX
THOUSAND DOLLARS worth
of oil from the wells now produc-
ing in the next twelve months.
This will pay all expenses and
sixteen (16l per cent on the en-
tire capitalization at 20 cents
per share. These are facts which
we can prove to any business
man.
If the company can build up
this way in so short a time it
will do greater things in the
future, Better line up with this
GIANT of the oil district as it
will be factor for years to come
in the oil fields of Southern Kan
sas and Northern Indian Terri
tory, and will be selling oil when
a great many of the ''blue sky, .
''hot air" concerns are out OF
business and forgotten only to
those who were foolish enough
to invest in wild cat stock when
a strong, energetic company with
a large production like the Pub
fishers was Offering a fair deal
at q price that is RIGHT. There
are no tricks about Publishers
stock, the par value is 500
Don't get caught on the three
(3) cent shares with a par at ten
| (1O) cents. A share of stock with
a par at ten takes ten shares to
equal one share at one dollar:
or. in other words. when you buy
stock at par at ten (1O) cents,
you are paying the same as thir-
ty 800 cents for one ($1OO) dol
lars worth of stock. The Pub

THE NEGRO NEWSPAPER.

No agency among the upl fling forces
of a people ranks higher than the
newspaper. Asa mouIder of sentiment
and stimulus it is unsurpassed, yet it
is surprising with what little encour-
agement in a substantial way most
newspaper enterprises are run, A
large number of our people want to
see credit given them in our papers for
every act, but seem to forget that type
setting costs very dearly. Many peo-
pie who are amply able and who like
to read the papers are nevertheless
quite ind ffeTent about paying their
subscriptions. Some of them tell the
collector that they will stsee the ed
itor,' :" others ask him to 'call again. !"
Some say they "will mail a check, !"
which they forthwith forget to do,
These and hundreds of other charac-
teristics of our people exhibit their in :
difference to the true value of a
newspaper in the community, and
people thus Indifferent to 30 powerful
an agency as the press, need to change
their attitude. Such a course hadi-
caps newspaper work in the race, and
destroys Its only weapon of defense
against the daily ISLANDERS hurled
against us by the prejudiced and mar
row white newspaper organizations of
the country.
Let US as Negroes awake to the inn
portance of the Negro press, Why, in
some places the white papers will not
print Negro church notices, and it is
seldom that you see any decent ct OF
a Negro in them, but the vicious acts
are rolled over as a sweet morsel.
The colored American., 1904-10-15

and thus distrauchise all Negroes,
both literate and illiterate. If you
don't believe this, dear voter, try
them. Every state that hiss disfran-
chised its Negro population is demo-
cratic state,-every state that has
passed a Jim crow" law is demo-
cratic state Democracy stands for
white supremacy, and serfdom for the
Negro, Therefore it is an arch enemy
to the race, and must be kept down.

In speaking of the disfranchisement
Ct Negroes in the South Northern

claimed during the war that lone

war methods of figuring were coming
back into modern politics. The pron
osition to cut down the southern rem
risentatlon as announced in the repub-
lIcan platform is opposed by some on
the grounds that the Negro will not
be benefited, since that act will not
change the South's attitude iowa, d

down the representation in the south
will make it far easier to elect a repub

not think they are. We believe the
