Ask any physician if catarrh is Il

cured by blood purifiers, pills, tablets,
or other forms of stomach dosing. The

The colored American., 1904-08-06

A new era is dawning, and to the
credit of the race loving men Of the
District, they have decided to take the
situation by the forelock, and to en-
gage in every kind of business that
the white man engages in. They pro-
pose to control the thousands Of dol
lars being spent by the colored peo-
pie themselves.
A harbinger Of this sentiment is
the Mercantile Cooperative Invest
ment Co.. composed of colored men,
organized and incorporated with a
capital OF $4,000 Nearly every share
of this stock has been sold, and the
willingness and eagerness shown in
the purchase OF this stock. prove that
the opportunity has come and the
time is ripe, for this step. The com
pany has purchased a large coal and
wood yard at the corner of twelfth and
R streets northwest, where full sup
ply OF coal, wood, hay, -four, and
feeds, have been procured. 1t has in
vested nearly 81 900 in coal, at whole
sale prices, from Pennsylvania, and is
now prepared to sell coal as cheaply,
to deliver as promptly, and as the late
Senator Bruce said, land wait as long
for their money" as any company do
ing business in Washington.
1t is gratifying to know that this
company has the hearty support of the
cOlored people, and that its success
will be the means Of developing other
companies, which will engage IN 9TH
eF lines of business.
The colored American., 1904-08-06
GETTING DOWN TO BUSINESS.

The colored people of the District
are beginning to realize the mistake
they made in the past, by neglecting
to engage in any kind of business en-
terprises. Heretofore they have been
satisfied to hold few places under
the Federal and local government,
and to leave the business interests OF
the city to the white people The
wisdom of protecting their own inter
ests is forcing itself upon them. and It
is happy omen that they are begin
ming to realize the great mistake they
have made IN the past.
There are nearly 100000 colored peo-
pie in the District, who spend thou
sands OF dollars annually for the ne
cessitics of life and luxurieB. This
money goes into the hands of the
white merchants, who fatten and grow
rich on it, and who draw the line on
the colored people in every way and
every manner. The Negroes condition
in Washington is becoming unbear-
able. He is Disseminated against on
all hands. The public schools are
turning out hundreds of young men
and women annually, and when they
have received their diplomas, find
every door and avenue of employment
closed against them. And for what?
Not because they are not intelligent
and competent. not because they do
not represent a good spending class OF
customers but simply because they
are colored. Any foreign young man
of woman of the darkest hue, who do
not understand our customs, who can
not speak our language, and who can
not read the constitution, are given the
preference over the sons and daugh-
ters of men who have fought IL every
battle of the Republic, from Bunker
Hill to San Juan.

STOP MUD SINGING.

The Charleston Messenger reads a
very sensible lecture to the coIored
newspapers of South Carolina anent
their habit of mad slinging" and
fighting among themselves. 1t very
pertinently says:
''If the Colored Press Association
will be productive of no greater good
than to stop mud singing it will have
accomplished a good purpose. Mud
Singing is a peculiar species Of Negro
Journalism I'm South Carolina and is
used as a substitute for honest argu-
tment. When colored editor fails to
have sufficient points to defeat the as
lsertion of his antagonist, he comes
|down from the high pedestal Of edi-
torial purity and starts his mud sling
ing batteries agoing. Along this line
South Carolina Negro Journalism
needs to be educated. May the first
meeting Of the association be the inau-
geration Of a kindergarten with in
|structions in elementary lessons on
dignif1ed discussion and Journalistic
lcoureesies."
The colored American., 1904-08-06

The annual encampment of the Dis
trict National Guard, has for years
been one of the events in military cir
cles. The First Separate Battalion, a
part of the District National Guard,
is regarded as the pride of the city and
is usually feature at these annual
encampments. The legal restrictions,
however, the abridgement of civil
rights and the growth and develop
ment Of the jim Crow spirit have
grown to such an extent that this
year the First Separate Battalion in
going to the annual encampment,
which will be held at historic old Har-
per's Ferry, must go in separate ears
and in the 4th and last section. This
section is not only set aside for the
IoEcers and men Of the First Separate
Battalion, but for the cooks and ser
wants, and dogs, and what-not- Ameri-
can citizenship, when applied to the
colored man, is coming to a pretty
pass. 4.
The colored American., 1904-08-06

The colored newspapers of the var
ious States, are organizing themselves
into State Associations, and this idoo
is to be commended. If it is epconr
aged, it is very likely that Brother
Adams of the defunct National Press
Association, may be able to call a COR
porals guard together by the time tho
Afro-American Council meets, in ST
Louis.

THE COLORED AMERICAN.

Prof. Arnett's suggestions of flag
for the American Negro, does not
seem to be taking well with the col
ored press. The Charleston Messenger,
of a recent date, after denouncing the
idea as being foolish and ridicu-
lous, has the following to say:
The Negroes of Dahomey may need
a flag in order to give them martial
inspiration; the Kalahari Bushmen
may need a flag in order to give them
ardor and enthusiasm over an unfor-
tunate victim, but the American Ne
gro is satisfied with the American
flag. The star spangIed banner in
which Frederick Douglass was wrap
ped and under which the Ninth and
Tenth Cavalry scaled the hills Of San
Juan and swept everything before
them, and the Twenty-fourth and
infantry fought so nobly
upon Cuban soil shall ever remain an
incentive to the American Negro and
shall ever represent the highest stand
u VI LID AdIAOi1oA p1OSAOOO cbAO41S9 IL4O
line of civilization.
The weeping willow may represent
the weeping prOpensities of our grand
sires during the time that they were
Numerically kept under the lash, and
"a black border may represent mourn
ing, as is the design of Prof. Arnett's
Negro flag, but the future Of the Ne
gro race, so bright and lucid, should
not be cIouded because of the unfortu-
nate circumstances Of our ancestors.
Because our forefathers and mothers
wept under a willow tree and because
they suffered and died from cruelties
inflicted upon them during the days Of
slavery is no reason why we should
perpetuate, except through history,
an emblem of mourning. A grave
yard is a pretty poor place to seek
inspiration and rejuvenescense; and
symbol of melancholy and morose-
ness is a pretty poor banner under
which the spirit of enthusiasm and
ardOr may rally.
Oh, no; what the Negro wants for
his future progress and advancement
| and for the greater enjoyment of life,
liberty and prosperity is not a flag,
but opportunity.

A hopeful sign Of the times is a
growing interest taken in the Busi-
ness League, by the colOred business
men throughout the country. All
roads point to Indianapolis and a large

ored man is engaged in business is

The Home NeIOS published in Alex
andria, Va, reads a timely lesson to
the Baltimore Lancet on Journalistic
ethics. The editor of the Lancet is
sore about something and vents his
spleen whenever an opportunity pre-
sents itself He is brave, however, for
he conceals himself behind an anOny-
minity.
