Telephone Cos.
A Second Telephone Co., will be of no
Relief for Denver Citizens in the
way of Economy.

Certain outside capitalists are in
Denver endeavoring to interest the
public in a second telephone sys-
TEN. They are making use of the
usual arguments in favor of their
attempt to gain a foothold. That
the scheme is purely furtherance
of their own ends, and without re-
sultant benefits to the people of
Denver, is readily shown by an
analysis of the franchise they pro-
pose to ask of the city council, and
for which they are circulating a
petition for am election.
The proposed franchise signifies
the rates which may be charged
by the new company, which are
substantially: $6.25 a month for
business, and $2.75 a month for
residence, with a right to increase
the rates hfty cents per montn Ior
each one thousand telephones ad-
ded to the exchange upward of ten
thousand. AS The Colorado Tele-
phone Company, now occupying
the field, has some 10000 tele-
phones, it can readily be seen that
at this rate of increase these rates
would amount to considerable
sum before this new company
could really be considered com
petitor of The Colorado Telephone
Company. However, they propose
to establish these rates with a
maximum of $500 per month for
business, and $4.00 per month for
residence.

54th Massachusetts, the first regi-
ment of Negroes who were enlist
ed in 1876, did hard fighting at
Fort Wagner and in other battles
in the rebellion. The only fight
ing of any consequence which was
done in Cuba III 1898 was done by
the black and white regulars,
though much of the credit went
elsewhere. AS professional soldi-
ers, however, these black men and
white did the fighting as part of
their days work, and asked no
special credit for it. So long as
the United States enlist black men
to help to do its fighting it is in
honor bound to defend them
against insult or assault when they
are violating no law. When the
white tifstesber in Brownsville as.

would refuse to protect a black

ial from Deridder today says that
a crowd of armed "Red Bones"
and other natives surrounded
tent in which were eight Negroes
and three white laborers. They
emptied shotguns, pistols and rifles
into the tent, wounding all of the
inmates. 1t is said that two are
dead, six mortally and three slight
ly hurt. The names of none of
them could be learned.
The cause of the shooting seems
to have been enmity that existed
toward the employees of the Grigs-
by Construction Company, who
are grading the Santa Fe extention
between Slabtown and Oakdale.
The natives are opposed to the
introduction of Negro labor in
their locality.

A PLEA FOR PROTECTION
Of the Black Men Who Fights the
Battles of Uncle Sam.

Let the government in Washing
ton beware lest it be stamped by
the clamor which is being raised
against TIE Negro soldiers at
Brownsville. Several of the SOL
diers undoubtedly committed Of
fenses against the law. But the
aggressors in the first place were
not the black soldiers, bat the
white citizens. A Negro soldier,
in uniform, was knocked down by
a white man for passing a party of
white men and women on the street.
So far as learned the soldier be-
haved himself. He offered no in
suit to anybody. He violated no
ordinance, municipal or divine.
The streets of Brownville, in the
ory at least, are open to all sorts of
people, red, black and white, who
conduct themselves with propriety.
After the insult and maltreat-
ment to their comrade a party of
Negro soldiers raided saloon, and
in the disorder which ensued one
or two lives were lost. This is de-
plorable. and the Negro culprits
should be punished. But what
about the white offender who
started the disorder? Is there to
be no punishment for him? Is
the black man, even when he wears
the United States uniform, to be
assailed when he walks the streets
peacefully? Race prejudice is
strong in Brownsville. So it is all
over Texas, all over the South, and
throughout part of the North and
West. This is unfortunate for
both whites and blacks. But when
a black man wearing the uniform
of the army of the United States
is assailed on the street for no 9TH
er offense except that of having a
black skin. it is time for the gov
ernment which he defends to come
to his rescue.
There are four Negro regiments
in the arms. Of the 1900 caval-
ry, approximately 1000 are black
men. There are in the neighbor-
hood of 1000 black men among
the $4,000 infantry. These four
black regiments, nearly all of

This offers no relief. from a rate
standpoint, to some five thousand
Of the present telephone users who
pay $500 month, or less, for their
residence telephones; and to some
four thousand others who pay less
than $500 a month for their bust
ness telephones. There is more
than this to be considered, how
ever, when discussing prospective
telephone competition:
Telephone competition is hardly
to be considered in the same light
as competition in other lines of
business; the greatest value in tele-
phone service. regardless of rates
charged, is that given when the
greatest number of subscribers are
connected to single system, where
by each user can be connected with
every other user of the telephone
service; and it has been decisively
proven that two telephone systems
IN a single city either divide the
usage, or compel the business man
TO install telephone of both sys-
TENS: in order to reach all of his
patrons and correspondents he must
have telephone of each system il
use, and even if the competition
proposes to reduce rates, it does
not lessen his expense, but, rather,
doubles it.
1t does not seem possible to ad-
vance any argument to deny this
statement. because the experience
of the telephone users in other
cities where competition in tele-
phone service has been encouraged
shows that from one-half to three
quarters of the business men who
subscribed for the competitive ser
vice still retained their old COM
pany instruments, and that their
annual expense is nearly double
Every telephone user, every bust
ness man, every voter should con-
slider that in signing "a petition for,
or encouraging in any way second
ystem of telephone service he is
lcting absolutely against his own
oocketbook. To sign a petition for
second system, or to urge the
granting of franchise to a second
company is to hurry the day when
he business man must pay more
II his service than at present.

of the public schools in the face of
the Negro youth. o, what can be
the aim of the South? Southern
Negroes who are tax payers are
called upon to assert their rights
and demand of the State govern
ment value received. Rob our
children of an education and you
prepare them to swell the ranks OF
the ignorant and depraved who
commit crimes for which the en-
tire race must pay the penalty.
There is an unwritten law in the
South that Negro should not
serve in a jury box. There are
Negroes of superior character and
intelligence paying taxes upon
hundreds of dollars worth of prop
erty, and yet, from a Southern
view point, there is not a colored
man worthy of enjoying jury priv
ileges. In view of the fact that
so many Negroes are brought be-
fore the courts for trial, in the
name of justice, a demand must be
made for the extension of this civil
right to worthy colored men. Ne
proes who are selected to serve on
juries are usually the equal and in
variably the superior of white men
on them. There are two reasons
why the South has stubbornly re-
fused to grant us this privilege.
First: 1t is crime and a danger
GUS precedent to allow a Negro to
decide whether a white man is too
innocent to be charged by him
with having committed any crime
Again, Negroes would contend that
justice be meted to Negro crimi-
mails at the bar and there would al
SO be hanging jury. Ninetenths
of the Negroes who are brought to
court are tried and convicted with
or without sufficient evidence. No
Southern jury is controlled by law
in administering justice to the Ne
gro, and there is not court south
of the Mason and Dixon line in
which the Negro receives a fair
and impartial trail. Judges and
juries are coerced and hood winked
bought and sold by Southern SEN
timent, until a trial in which a
Negro is involved is invariably
farce.
L. G. JORDAN.
The Colorado statesman., 1906-09-08

That the American Negro is
growing restless under continued
persecution is evident from the
protestations through the press
and in every meeting of any char
acter held by him throughout the
press and in every meeting of any
character held by him throughout
the country. His prayers, songs
and speeches are ringing words of
heart disturbances over wrongs
tperpetrated upon him. In the
wake of these muttering, storm is
certainly going to follow. The
spirit is forbearance and long suff-
ering is departed virtue. The
day of reform is upon us and I'VE
give the warming word for the minor
Element that has always outlined
and enforced the policy for the
South in its attitude toward the
Negro. The Negro is preparing
for better or for worse. for liberty
unabridged and for citizenship un-
circumscribed. There are some
questions that demand our imme-
4 diate attention and to which we
propose to dedicate the best that
there is in us to bring about re-
formation. To this end we beg
the cooperation of every Afro
American and every friend of the
,ace.
The educational facilities under
the free school system of the South
are becoming more and more
meager for the Negro. The terms
have been cut short, the salaries
tof the teachers have been reduced
and the division of money provid-
ed for public education is the last
and most damaging legislation per-
petrated upon us. The few schools
supported by the States for higher
education of Negroes are not
equipped for the work. The
Southern making the charge that
the poor whites are being deprived
of money paid by tax payers of
their own race for the education of
white children in order to make
up the deficiency to support color
ed schools. Like many other
statements made by Southern poll
ticians, demagogues and Negro
haters, facts are disregarded.
There is not a single Southern
state in which Negroes are not
paying enough taxes to Justify the
State Government in giving the
same educational advantages 10
Negro boys and girls as are given
to white boys and girls. There
has been a persistent effort for the
past fifteen years to close the doors
