ness. John NJ. worked in the black
smith shop. while James r. took to the

CIVIC AND SOCIAL EQUALITY.

CIVIC AND SOCIAL EQUALITY.
We have been asked an opinion on
the refusal of the management Of the
Emancipation Celebration to admit
persons of notorious character. We
can say frankly that though 1t was
done in good faith; it was in this case
an act of indiscretion. We have al
ways contended that all Negroes
should be united along certain lines
regardless of classes for civic progress
We find no record where Lincoln
emancipated only slaves of certain
character, but we have the record
where we have been hopelessly di.
vided because of social strife. There
was q mistake made In holding this
celebration for a select element, and
being under the auspices Of a news
paper, it could not be entirely within
a class, in Justice to its subscribers
because it Is supported by the masses.
Touch of sleeve and elbow with the
notorious on this occasion would not
suffice contagion. We could better
fear the monster vice, In our homes,
churches and places frequented by our
social set, where he is rampant. This
occasion was a grand memory Of q
Christmas Day in Negro history
teaching Peace on Earth-Good.will
to all men,, and exemplified in the
words Of the immortal humanitarian,
Malice to none-Charity for ALL" A
day when $50 hallowed is the time"
that we should lay aside every vestige
Of our social standing and unite for
the civic progress of the race, with
out regard to previous condition.
looking for better things Of ourselves.
for ourselves and by ourselves, with a
united progress for humanity.
The new charter was showed under,
though we believed 1t a program for
Home Rule in our city, and supported
1t, but Negroes were not interested in
the. election. They should be. About
five per cent of the Negro vote was
cast, and some self-appointed Negro
leader will claim victory.

ACuIlAR PAPER
URGES BOYCOTT OF
LOCAL CONCERNS

While Trinidad business men and
citizcus who opposed the division Of
the county are advocating the bur
ial OF the haichci and the closer un-
ion of the interests OF the town Of
Aguilar and the city OF Trinidad to
the end that the differences grow
ing out OF the recent ..ght ve forgot
ten. the Aguilar new-couniy boosters
are exhibiting bclligcrcnt atti-
tudc. declaring that the Hughes
county fight will be renewed two
years from now and advocating II
boycott OF the local merchants. Ag-
uilar declines to be concIlilted and
the business men of that town are
talking OF organizing to do all their
marketing in Pueblo. The Asuilar
Record takes this stand in an rdi-
torial which appears in the issue Of
April Il. which is herewith pub
lished:
I'VE understand Trinidad is pre-
pairing for great jollification over
the defeat OF the Hughes County bill.
We gather from their papers that
their leading merchants and business
men are now willing to give us the
glad hand and forget the fight they
have made against us.
Business men of Asuilar. this
same fight will come up again two
years from now and these same m' II
will be fighting you as bitterly or
more so than they did this time. In
the meantime are you going ahead.
giving them all the business that you
have when their travelling statesmen
come around. buy all that you are
needing from them without even
questioning their prices? An or
ganizcd effort of the merchants and
business men of Aguilar will get an
equalization of rates from Pueblo
on the price of all goods purchased
here. Don't you think in this way
that YOU could get more respect from
by subsequently knccling. Dowins
have dealt us such blows?
Has Trinidad ever done any
thing to help this section of the
county? Can the oldest inhabitant
over rccollect anything that Trini-
dad has ever done to help the Api.
shapa Valley? We think the mer-
chants and business men of Aguilai
should take this matter into seriout
consideration and as one merchant
has said to us, When Il salesman
from Trinidad comes in. he tells him
he needs nothing at all at present
and he did. in the future he is go
ing to buy from his friends
Think this over calmly ant
without passion and see If this is moi
the best course for yoi to take foi
