Lawyers And doctors.

K
Most lawyers take a keen delight
trying to confuse medical experts in
the witness box in muder trials, and
often they get paid back in their
own coin.
A case is recalled where the law

tactics without effect, looked quiz

of them. One is about the mining

According to Waller, o tenderfoot

the Republican party to be always
right, but we know the party is
more often right than the Demo
cratic party. With the few months
history of the Democratic party in
power, it is better to be a defeat
ed Republican than victorious
Democrat at this time. The sorry
spectacle of the governor of great
state, vetoing appropriation bills
not because they are unjust but be-
cause of lack of funds, is a sight
not calculated to inspire great con-
fidence in the controlling party
During the recent campaign a
gang of Afro American political
free-booters went up and down the
state extolling the many virtues OF
reorganized Democracy. They
caught some of our people. Some
of our able young men went away
after false gods, hoping that in the
making up of his jewels they would
be among the favored. But the
records fail to show any reason
able number of colored appointees.
Today there are fewer Negroes
holding appointments of any kind
or character under the state and
city government than there has
been for many years. What peo-
pie may do in the hour of defeat
and trouble is a measure of their
fidelity and trustworthiness. True
Republicans black or white will go
down with their party and cour-
ageously face the enemy, while Ia
boring to regain lost prestige.
While not receiving at this time, a
share in the results of the election,
the Negro in the past has received
much in the way of consideration
at the hands of the party. What
we must do is to get together and
push our best and most experienced
leaders to the front. Being care
full to select such men as our lead
ers who hold the advancement OF
the race above personal preference.
The right kind of leadership is
what the Colorado Negro needs
and not splitting up with various
political parties. Out here he has
all the rights, civic and social, en-
joyed by any other class. He mere
ly needs intelligent and proper
guidance. Let the pessimist go,
and stick to the party straight.

DENVER COLORADO, SATURDAY MAY 1, 1909

Negro editors as general thing
are to modest to advertise their
productions as the equals of the
great dailies, but feel that they are
entitled to a reasonable share of
the literary patronage of the race.
The most frequent obstacle Negro
solicitor runs against is the state
ment that, 81 am taking morn
ing and evening paper and can t
afford to pay for more This is
the hardest proposition to meet and
convince our people they should
have some paper devoted entirely
to the presentation and promotion
of the Negroes cause in his home.
Some of our daily papers are very
friendly to the race and often
speak and in our defense, but as a
general thing news and comment
found in them concerning the race
is highly exaggerated report of
some crime or presumed offense
against the law A constant pc
rusal of such poisons the mind Of
the public at large and tends to Vi
tiate the ambition of the members
of the race in their effort for
higher things. Then again we are
met with the remark, 81 haven t
the time to read" This and lot
of hogwash used as an apology for
the failure to subscribe and pay
for a Negro journal. Haven t
time to read" Our people have
time for every kind of frivolity
and pleasure. The men find time
from their work to wander about
the streets and waste time in sa-
looms and clubs. Yet they have
n t time to read. Our women find
time from their work to parade the
streets, visit and swap gossip. Yet
they haven It time to read. If it
were possible to have them spend
an hour of their time each day
reading something instructive,
something which would enable
them to see more clearly the duties
