Franklin's paper the statesman., 1911-02-18

agement and poor patronage The
i ueblo paper has taken the generally
accepted view that poor patronage is
a contributing cause to failure, yet
sober thought shows clearly that this
is really result OF poor management
People have to buy food and some one
supplies it. Had this store had good
management there would have been
no poor patronage.
To our mind it is fatal weakness
in colored business men not to real
ize that they too, whatever their bus
mess, are in competition with white
men in the same line. Our laborers
already know the power of the compe-
tion of foreign born whites, our pro-
fessional men know that their white
competitors are their greatest diff
Guilty, and our business men should
wake up and know also that the whole
world is one vast market and they
must match service with any man.
1t will not do to offer our goods and
expect race pride to bring the patron
age of colored people. Merit, good
management and all else that makes
a good business man are needed by
colored men as well as white. We can
not build around us artificial barriers
which will guarantee to ourselves the
full support of our own people.
Because we do printing business,
is no reason why our patrons should
be satisfied with inferior work or be
overcharged. The Negro grocery,
restaurant, doctor, lawyer and in fact
all our endeavor are measured by the
worlds standards of excellence, not
by one which We set in our own race.
We must measure up or fail. Good
business requires good management
1t means good patronage. We ought
not seek to delude ourselves by say
ing that poor patronage is what
closes up our businesses. Patronage
is always responsive to management.
When we fail, let's go TO the bottom
and see why, and not seek to hide our
shameful failure by blaming our Gus
toners who show their kinship to all
the world by seeking the best market
for their purchasing.

A Slap at the Race

House bill No. 240, an act concern
ing marriage, is before the legisla-
ture. 1t provides, among other
things, that no license for marriage
shall be issued to imbeciles, Grim
inals, drunkards, nor to white persons
to marry Africans or Mongolians.
Marriage is a contract between two
persons, and therefore this law pro-
hibiting intermarriage will work no
hardship on Negroes that it does not
on whites. Yet since this bill puts
us on the same footing as Mongolians
who are not citizens, and with Grim
inals and insane persons, it deserves
attention.
If there was pronounced tendency
toward marriage between the races,
and the community was suffering in
health and morals as a result, We
could understand such legislation
But such is not the case. Intermar-
riage is but little found in this state.
The legislators themselves know that
To pass legislation placing colored
citizens among the pariahs, simply be-
cause intermarriage is possible, is a
deliberate offense against us. II such
is the intention, we wish voters to
note well who favor the measure.
The merits of such legislation are
doubtful The relationship between
the sexes is above legislative act.
Honorable relationship in marriage is
approved of by public opinion. The
artificial withdrawal of license TO
marry by prejudiced legislation does
not change the attraction of the sexes
nor the moral law.
The effect of such withdrawal is
therefore to lower the legal status oil
honorable persons of the two races
to that of those having illegitimate
relationship. The history of the anti
miscegenation laws of the South Is
that a premium is placed upon wrong
doing upon the women of our race
For any state that will deny them
honorable marriage relationship, no
matter who the man may be, thinks
too little of them to protect them
where even men of their own race
are the offenders. 1t will be to the
shame of the Colorado women if they
support this measure. The darkest
blot upon slavery was the treatment
of our women, and if the caste line
between the races was crossed then
II will be now, no matter what laws
are enacted.
We see no need of such legislation
here in Colorado. We believe that
the legislature is making OF this an
expression of its contempt for us
Colorado is in the hands of Democ'
racy. By its fruit it will be judged
It's appeals to our voters in time OF
election are fair sounding. Yet al
ready two measures are in the leg1s
lature which are against us. Our col
ored Democratic workers have re-
sponsibility and they must not shirR
it. This bill must be amended so as
to free our race from the stigma II
seeks to place upon It,

Professor F. Kurlbaum. OF the
technical university in Charlotten-
burg. has just made an expedition
20 Upper Egypt for the purpose ~
determining the heat of the sun, II
observations were made on nil
near Assouan. more than 500 feet
above the sea level. 1t was necessary
TO take the observations in the driest
possible climate. near the equator,
| in order to get perpendicular rays
/ and at an elevation 50 as to operate
in an atmosphere where conditions
are equable.
The observations were made only
on days which were perfectly cloud
less and showed a minimum OF mois
ture in the atmosphere. The method
of observation, which was too tech
meal to be described here, consisted
in comparing the radiation of neat
from certain black objects with ttai
of the sun The results Of the scien'
tists's observation showed tenn
perature of between $685. and 5,50'
degrees celsius This was accordnf
to an older scale of measurement
but according to a scale adopted IL
1907 the measurements would rang'
between 6,002 aud 6,2S2 degrees
The estimates of two other scientist
had already shown temperatures o
about the same intensities as Pref
Kurlbaum's, but Dr. Goldhammer'
, estimate is 10000 degrees.
