'I did not know you were keeping store here, else l would have
been around to patronze you" was what a colored man was over
heard to say to a colored business man a few days ago. This bust
ness man had been at the one stand for several years, but this friend
did not know it. He was managing to make a living, but he had not
gotten his friends trade because he had neglected to let his friends
know that he was in business.
How many friends were there just like the first? How many dk
lars had this colored man lost through neglect to notify the public
which includes his friends.
The business man did not even resort to the somewhat outof-
date method of scattering circulars. He had never considered ad-
vertsng. He, too, knew that white merchants who have built their
business from small beginning to large propositions had been large
users Of advertising space in the newspapers. He did not seem to
care to know that the public largely patronized these merchants be-
cause they let the community know what they had for sale. He was
still in the beginning class, making but little more than a laborer
gets.
the white man who began small. The race wants to support you, but
wants you to let the public know what you have.

SOME OF THE STRUGGLES OF
THE NEGRO PRESS.

One evening this week at the close
of a very busy day l drew me up at
my desk. Before me was scattered a
mass Of newspapers, all bearing the
distinction og colored. My already
tired brain and sun strained y e al
most refused the task that vas set be-
fore. But from somewhere and some
how l gained courage, and plunged in
by stirling with the one on top-it was
the Oklahoma-O, there | go, I didn't
mean to call any names, but the
press work on that particular pour
nal was SO poor that one could not
ever properly translate the answers
to Booker Washington's article, ask
ing for better travelling accommoda-
lions for Negro passengers over GER
tain railroad lines; which was brave
ly undertaken. The Dallas Express
came in for a similar criticism while
the Boston Alliance and Conservative
Counsellor is void Of that harmon
ious toning with other parts of the
papers on account of too much front
page advertisement. In others there
we're similar and even more grievous
errors.
The colored papers that take first
rank in typographical cleanliness and
mechanical accuracy are the Amster-
dam News, Richmond Planet, Kansas
City Sun, and New York Age.
1t is with no small degree of ap-
probation that l review the merits
and dement's of these journals and
journalists, who are struggling as /
am; for to publish a Negro journal
at this period means sacrifice at
every stopover. l see written in great
red headlines at the head of the mean
est effort in the way of a Negro jour
nal these words, Self Sacrifice"
Our readers are more sensitive to
literary abuse in a race paper than
they are to the big dailies. l often
have a nan come into my office to
complain about a stick of matter up
side down in the last issue of an arti-
Gle that was backed up the wrong
way. Now, if he, perhaps, knew that
my day had been Sc hours instead Of
eight in comparison with his, instead
Of criticising he would step in and
offer to pay his subscription with the
hope that his mite might help a lit
tie in relieving the situation. For
whenever you e faults standing out
conspicuously in Negro papers there
is but n conclusion to come to, and
that is that finance is oh, so short.
Now, don't stand apart and laugh
jeeringly or criticise an effort that
o yourself are not brave enough to
make. If you cannot give thousands,
you can give the Widows mite and
the least you pay on your subscrip-
ton will be precious in the editors
sight.-California Eagle.

Hon. N. C. Crews, Dear Sir: | AIN
enclosing herewith a copy of a decis-
ion handed down by the supreme court
of Colorado in regard to my case,
which was hastily tried in district
court of Otero county at La Junta,
Colo, in July, 1911, where l was in
stantly convicted and sentenced to
death and my aged father, a mar of
neal 83 years, was also convicted as
an accomplish and sentenced from 80
to so years at hard labor in state pen
itentiary. 1 was sentenced to death
for protecting my aged father and
mother, in their own home, and my
life at the cost of the lives OF the two
brutal, inhuman, prejudiced, Negro
hating, lawless policemen who were
assaulting my mother and father, and
seeking to murder me.
But after being denied a new trial
by the judge trying my case, my at
torney, Ex-Judge Lyman l. Henry Of

supreme court, which readily reversed
the judgment of the lower court, and
granted me a new trial which viii

Now, dear sir, the fight has just
commenced as the prejudiced class in
that community are determined thai
the sentence imposed on my fathel
and myself be carried out, and they
will use every mean in their power
to gain their hellish ends, and tC
,thwart all in their desire to see me
get justice. I appeal to you for finan
cial aid, if you a assist me in any
way through the columns Of your pa
