A TWO SIDED PROPOSITION.

There are number of persons who
talk much of the duty that the race
owes to patronize its business men.
We hear so much of that and SO little
of the service such patrons should re-
ceive that we call attention to the
other side of the proposition. If
colored man should patronize another
because the other is colored, it is just
as good logic that the patron should
receive good service from the other
because he is colored But summing
it all up, the bid for business merely
on the ground of color is nothing
more than a use of color prejudice
which we all claim to be SO unjust.
The colored business man should
have other merit than his color. He
should not do the baby act and ask
that our people divide their trade
with him unless he can show merit
equal to anyone. Prices and quality
determine how good any service is.
Until Negroes are willing to stand up
and be counted, paying an eye for an
eye, giving a dollars worth of service
for dollar, asking no favors because
of previous conditions or color limit
atoms, they will be pitied rather than
respected. Let us demand of every
one who seeks our trade. black as
well as white, the best service. Let
us give to every man, black as well as
white, the best we can.

A WORK OF ART USED AS A BUS
INESS APPEAL.

The part which the railroads play
in inducing visitors to- come to the
state and view natures wonders here
is generally understood nowadays,
but few people are aware that the ap-
peal to all America is made with
finish and style that beggars descrip-
ton in some cases. For instance,
there has just come to this newspaper
a copy of the latest d. & R. G. book
let, around the Circle" 1t is an
opal for color, reproduction in print
ers' ink of the beautiful coloring of
the Colorado sky, the forests and the
eternal hills. The text itself is lu-
cid description of the cities through
which the road passes in its course
to the West, down, the western slope
and back through southern Colorado
and northern New Mexico. The points
of interest, such as the mountain
passes, the cliff dwellers, the resorts
and the like, afe all featured. The
illustrations are themselves work of
art. Even to Coloradoan the book
is strong appeal, and to the citizens
of other states it must be an almost
irresistible call back to nature, an in
spiration to see Europe if they will,
but to see America first"

LADIES, READ AND CONSIDER.

The colored newspapers, apart from
the usual struggle for existence, have
a special problem to meet. They have
to overcome the opinion that gener-
ally prevails in business circles that
their readers stop with reading their
news columns and pay no attention
whatever to- their advertisements.
Therefore, race papers are cut off
from that source of revenue to large
extent Women are the buyers for
the home as a rule and therefore the
editor of this paper wishes to ask of
them that they make it point to read
race papers all through and consider
the advertisers therein when they
make purchases. Tell the merchant
that advertises in The Statesman that
you are pleased that he asks your
trade in that manner. Inspect his
goods, even if you have been in the
habit of trading elsewhere. There is
steady growth of sentiment here
against colored customers. We can
not afford to overlook those who seek
our trade by advertising in the race
press, and thrust it Upon firms that
are content to advertise only with
white papers. Remember also that
there are colored persons, artisans
and professional men, who have only
your trade to depend upon. They ad-
vertise only in the colored press. If
you are willing for them to live, look
for their advertisements and try their
service.

means to celebrate the giving of the
land grant Of $4,000 acres by the Ii

participate and present resolutions.
1t is not generally known that art
Is reaching a high state OF advance
ment in this city. From time to time
exhibits by the women's clubs of the
city or OF the state attract unusual at
tention. yet that is only momentary.
Among the art workers of the city.
Mrs. s. B. McCarroll is one whose
work is most widely known. She
paints. Oil, water color. pastel work
are all equally well done. She has
shown her work to the public on sew
eral occasions and several paintings
have been purchased and adorn Den
yer homes.
Along this same line It is fitting to
speak of the efforts which have been
put. forth during the past two weeks
by the Ladies' Usher club of Shorter
church to adorn 1t for Easter. Dec
orations of natural flowers have been
the rule in the past. This year the
ladies' planned something novel and
no less artistic. 1t is artificial flow
ers. Artificial lilies, roses, pansies.
carnations, and even doves will be
seen in artistic arrangement, all due
to the tireless efforts of a band of ar
tistic women. Mrs. w. p. Jones has
kindly served as the teacher for such
ladies as were inexpert, and the Five
Points barber shop has been the work
room. She and they have had the as
sistance of some who were skilled in
the making OF artificial Ac~ers. and
the sum total Of their work will be
the public's to admire tomorrow.
The ladies helping are Mesdames
Reeves, Richardson. Waldon, Cobb.
Eferson, Lytton and Derry. Mrs.
Finley is making doves, while the
skill OF Mrs. Geo. Ingram Is shown by
the most exquisite roses.
The spirit of art has also impelled
