A NEW EMANCIPATION.

The observer cannot fail to be i'm
pressed with the need of new eman-
cipation within the race, that will set
it free from the traditions and habits
that are relics of our former bondage
-handicaps which we put upon our
selves because, we do not stand up
right and walk like men. One of
these, and probably the worst, is the
ready assumption that Negro blood
is a bar to excellence. Not per-
son who reads this article has failed
to hear the Negro artisan and pro-
fessional man condemned along with
the whole class by some member of
the race who fifty years after free
dom repeats what was taught to our
slave forbears. This should not be-
Every one OF us wishes to be counted
man, and to be judged by what we
do, not by the color of our skin. The
silly suicidal condemnation of colored
labor, business and brain is incono-
| sistent with our hopes for self. yet ii
is persisted in by some of US through
| ignorance, envy and habit There is
need OF a new emancipation.
OF course each reader OF this arti-
Gle has already absolved himself from
guilt in this respect, yet day in and
| day out there are persons who invade
our homes, shamelessly parading
| their preference for white doctors
4 for white undertakers. for white any
thing and everything. The Star be
lieves that the race should be willing
to stand up and be counted We be-
lieve it should be willing to bear crit
| icism for shortcomings. We recognize
that the white worker, business and
| professional man is the standard
and doubtless the many good things
said of them are true. But it is not a
reasonable proposition that their ey
cellence precludes the possibility OF
a Negro making good. And because
Negroes do make good. we wish &c
! enlist the services of the community
in drumming out of social favor
those who say We do not.

SEPARATE SCHOOL MEASURE
HEADED OFF,

There was a gathering in the Cap
itol Tuesday of about thirty colored
persons, principally from Denver. two
being from Colorado Springs. Revs.
Boone and Tillman. They met the
constitutional committee OF the house
of representatives and voiced their
protest against the proposed separate
school amendment to the state con-
stitution. The committee. after hear
ing from them. reported the bill
without recommendation, which
means that it will not be brought up
for passage as long as some member
does not ask that the committee re-
port with" recommendation. The
committee on constitution in the SEN
ate had reported the bill favorably
the day before, but subsequent TO the
action in the house it reconsidered
and made a similar report, so that it
is now probable that the separate
school bill will not pass
There seems TO have been efficacy
in the visit of the Protestant Negroes
from the action taken. Later they
called upon the governor en- masse.
who received them cordially.
