"What is freedom? How far
does the meaning of these two
amendments extend? Was free
dom satisfied when the manacles
fell from the wrists of the black
man, and he, child in mentality
and experience, was set adrift in a
world whose ways were mysteries
to him? No, these black men were
considered wards of the nation.
The ballot was placed in their
hands in order that they might have
full share in electing all the men
who should make the laws under
which they must live. Their chill
dren were admitted to the public
schols, there to receive instruction
side by side with the child OF the
white man-in all things to share
the white child's opportunity and
to develop, equally with him char
acter and manhood which should
fit them for wise and useful citi-
zenship. And thus it has come to
pass that hundreds of the offspring
of the slaves that were freed by the
martyrdom of Abraham Lincoln
and by the blood of American pa
triots. come forth from our schols
and colleges, with hopes as high,
with ambitions as boundless and
with abilities as great as those OF
the offspring of the white man, who
have been their fellow students and
companions during the years in
which they have striven side by
side to reach the same goal, name
ly, wisdom enough to fit them to en-
gage in the solution of some of the
world s great problems.
"And when the victory is won
and the prize so long coveted is
theirs, and the vista of the whole
untried world lies before them,
what then? Shall the student with
the black face find the door of fur
ther endeavor and reward closed
to him, while it opens wide to his
white companion, who is no better
fitted to take advantage of its op-
portunities than he is? Shall a
narrow and prejudiced world deny
further progress to one and urge
forward the other?
''How shall we measure the abil-
ity of men who are fit to fill places
of public trust9 By their wisdom,
honesty and qualification, or by the
color of the skin which covers their
faces? If a blackface is to be a
disbarment from holding public
Office or private trust, then it were
better that the man with the black
face had been left in slavery. 1t
were better that Abraham Lincoln
had not lived and died, that Gun

BuSin' IS Chances
Are Plentiful for Thrifty CoIored Men and Boys.
Many Places Idle for Lack Of Push
Among the Negroes.

Last week our articles dealt with
the paying occupations opened to
girls and women of our race. Our
object was to show the many ave-
nues open to independent and wide
awake women who have eyes to see
the main chance not in some dis
tant future but here and now right
in Denver and vicinity. Today we
speak to the men and boys of our
race who walk about in idleness
complaining that nobody has hired
us. The more the Colorado States
man looks at the opportunities and
situations the more we feel the pity
and shame for the shiftless, lazy
ness. blindness and backwardness
of Denver's colored population.
This city is as good place as any
on earth, not only to get a start
but to make living, competence
and wealth if we could only get
men with eyes to see, sense to fol
low and tenacity to bring things to
pass. The first thing we shall
enumerate is the opening in the
laundry business. This work Is
made imperative also in the South
where the laundries will not wash
colored peoples linens. We are
glad to see two of our colored citl-
zens enter this business already but
there is room for a half dozen good
laundries in Denver as there are
many transients here that must de
pend upon the laundries for SER
vice. Almost every large city In
the United States has several good
steam and hand laundries run by
experienced colored proprietors
and colored help.
Second the grocery business
awaits hustler, one who can
tackle it with vim, grit and bring
success out of past defeat.
The colored carriage driver is a
thing of the past in Denver. Also
a good large storage barn would
pay handsome profits.
Third, the junk business does not
require much capital or experience
and any man with an ounce of
gumption and push could get be-
hind it and make it go. A good
second hand business could easily
be built up in connection with it
and made profitable to men who
have the element of barter in their
bones. The soap business is well
understood by many colored men
and could be pushed to success with
brains, Drawn and little capital.
Fourth, garbage and ash hawl-
ing, fertilizing and lawn making
all affords openings to qualified
men without regard to color.
! Ranching on small scale and

truck gardening will swell many
a pocket book that is fiat and empty
now besides affording a health Civ
ing occupation out in the open
while most of our men are Gagged
up now in the cities. The poultry
and egg business is a gold mine
when well handled and scientifical-
ly conducted. 1t is not a difficult
business to conduct and is remun-
erative to any one who would take
good care of it.
The sugar beet culture in Colo
RADIO is now a fixed source of reve-
nue.. If we could get these boys
out of the pool rooms, clubs, crap
tables and barber shops out on the
beet fields just ten, twenty and
thirty miles from Denver, we could
save their health, their characters
and their lives. The coal and feed
business is open to men of enter
prise and push and could be turn
ed into good effect by right parties
Besides these and many more we
could name the Negro could be re
lieved from dining car walters.
Pullman porters, buffers and coach
men and put into positions that
would mean a great deal more for
them in the end. 1t will be seen
in naming this list of occupations
we have avoided such business that
is already in the hands of consider
able of our people. Only by
launching forth can we hope to
win and by faithfulness, persever-
ance and stick-at-iveness can we
succeed. The Japanese, Chinese
will soon be crowding the Negro
as porters, walters, buffers and do
nestle service. They are more
painstaking, punctual and saving.
They do not have picnics, balls
and excursions like the Negro, but
attend to their work. Now is the
time for the Negro to launch out,
endure deprivations, segregation
and hardships and before you know
it you will find the country grow
ing up around you. If we would
only get rid of our follies of fine
cloths, social positions, lodges and
tendencies of modern high life and
I get down to horny handed business
and duty, we would not be raising
up the crop of dudes, sports, tin
horn gamblers and weaklings, that
now seems to be multiplying in our
race. The real race lovers and race
preservers will see the distinctions
we are pointing out and cooperate
with us in our endeavor to save
not the individuals alone but also
the masses. 1t is the masses not
the classes that is doing us the real
| harm.

CONSTITUTION
Quoted by Mrs. John Lenz, of Columbus Ohio, in Black
Mans Behalf. Mental Slavery Exists, She Says,
Debarring Him from Equality with Whites

Mrs. Lentz, who has made a spe-
cial study of social subjects, in an
interview with the Ohio State Jour-
nal Saturday, February 9, dis
cussed in an interesting manner
the question, "What shall we do
with the educated Negro?" She
first quoted the thirteenth and four
teenth amendments to the constitu-
ton which follows, respectively:
"Neither slavery nor involun-
tary servitude, except as punish
ment for crime, shall exist within
the United States or any place sub
ject to their jurisdiction.
"All persons born or naturalized
in the United States and subject
to the jurisdiction thereof are citi-
zens of the United States and of
the state wherein they reside. No
state shall make or enforce any laws
which shall abridge the privileges
or immunities of citizens of the
United States.''
Mrs. Lentz then continued:
DO the people of the United
States intend to repudiate these
two great amendments to the con-
stitution, which the immortal Lin
coin wrote with his life blood, and
for the support and enforcement
of which thousands of the coun-
try's bravest and noblest patriots
marched proudly to the greatest
victory for human rights that the
world has known?
LONELY hearthstones, vacant
chairs, grieving widows, sad-eyed
orphans and countless gravestones
tell the mournful tale of the raw
ages made on human hearts by the
relentless and resistless conflict
waged IN support OF the almighty
boon of freedom for all men, which
these amendments proclaim. The
old veteran, proudly wearing his
coat of faded blue, with kindling
eye and with sudden erectness of
his dropping shoulders, greets his
comrades around the campfire and
recounts again the dreadful days of
Bull Run and Gettysburg, of Vicks-
burg and Appomattox.
SIS the struggle for the supre-
macy of this national ideal, which
these two amendments symbolized,
to become memory only? Was all
the sacrifice in vain9 1t certainly
was, unless the freedom, bought at
such a price, be maintained and
perpetrated by the children of the
men who so heroically laid down
their lives to accomplish it, and by
its accomplishment brought free
dom to nearly 100000 human be-
ings who had borne the chains OF
slavery.

ment that their work should be
supervised by Negro.
Kings position is an important
one, the station being the largest
in the city outside of the general
postoffice.
Charles Fl. G. Hecht, superin-
tendent of the Wall street branch,
said to, day that he did not antici-
pate any trouble over Kings ap-
pointment.

written, and that American man.
hood had not sacrificed itself on
the altar Of spurious freedom.
"Were the shackles stricken from
the wrist of the black man in order
that they might be placed on his
ambition? Is it logical, is it just,
is it common sense to educate
man and fit him for places of power
and trust, and then say to him,
Thus far and no further shall
you advance; turn backward, de-
scend the ascending path which
you have climbed with so much eff
fort; the Star of Hope shines no
longer for you; travel backward
until you have reached the low
level from whence you came; re-
main there, thanking God every
hour that you are no longer sub
ject to master; stifie your am
bition, curb your aspirations, for
you were created with black face
and because of this black face you
are doomed, irretrievably to be-
hold the great things of life from
afar off it is true you may have
earned some of these great things,
but you were born with a black
face
Were it not better to serve one
master, to be his property, knowing
neither hope nor aspiration, than to
be accounted free and feel the soul
grow and expand and urge on to
high place, and then have the great
and cruel master, public prejudice,
close the door just as the promised
land of victory rises into view?
Many Negro has been encour-
aged to climb the mountain of edu-
cation, allowed to look over into
the promised land of future posi-
bilities, and then doomed to spend
the remainder of his life in the val
ley of despair.
Fie upon such inconsistency
Let us once again return to the old
truth of the survival of the fittest,
whether the fittest have a skin that
is black, brown, red, white or yell
low. Why is a white skin better
than a black one? Let us count
a man man for "a that
Read again the fourteenth
amendment to the Constitution of
the United States, and then ask
yourself, whether this amendment
is prophecy or hypocrisy?
Are we as nation to be hypo-
critics, or are these words like those
of the Declaration of Independ-
ence, merely prophetic and sugges-
tive of generations yet to come,
who will be sincere enough to prac-
tice, as well as preach, liberty and
equality?''

Tuskegee, Ala, Feb. 20.-The
sixteenth annual session of the
Tuskegee Negro conference began
here today at the Tuskegee Nor
NAL and Industrial institute. Pres
ident Booker Z. Washington pre-
sided and hundreds of farmers with
their wives and families crowded
the spacious auditorium of the
school. In his opening address
Principal Washington reviewed
the advance made by the Negro
race within the past year, as we'll
as since the advent of freedom.
He advised the members OF the
race to push onward in the path OF
industrial progress, to live decent
aud clean lives, to avoid racial
friction and by industry, frugality
and honest living to command
their own self-respect and to earn
and keep the respect of their white
neighbors. Reviewing the work of
the race since the Civil war he
said the Negro in the United States
has acquired landed property equal
to the combined areas of Belgium
and Holland.

Excellent Offers Received From

The committee appointed by the

BOARD OF EDUCATION
Will Hold Special Session
Next Week.
At Which Time u Principal for
the High School will be
Elected.

The board Of education will hold a
special meeting next week, probably
Monday, for the purpose of electing
principal for the High school. The
next regular meeting Will not come
until August 26, and board members
v say that this would be too near to
the time for opening school. The
new principal, whoever he may be,
| will need more time IN which TO plan
! for his work.
That the board will be divided on
the question is practically certain.
IThe only likely candidate for the posi-
ltiOn so far are K. II. Marshall, who
/ has been a member of the High
school faculty for several years, and
20. b. Kelsey, who was only recently
elected. Marshall AT this time ap-
pears to be the most available man
for the position.
A number of facts are being ad-
dressed by Nlarshall's friends in advo-
eating his appointment. In the first
place, they say that his being a Ma
rion county man should be a point in
his favor. That he is capable is
not disputed by any member of the
lboard. During the time that he has
been a teacher at the High school his
work has been highly satisfactory and
in every way has proved his fitness.
Kelsey also has his loyal support
ers who will make a strong effort to
secure his appointment. His ex-
treme youth may prove an obstacle in
his effort to get the position.
