1T PAYS TO ADVERTISE.

'I did not know you were keeping store here, else l would have
been around to patronize you" was what a colored man was over
heard to say to a colored business man a few days ago. This BUSH
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 firstH How many dol
lars had this eolored man lost through neglect to notify the public
which includes his friends.
The business man did not even resort to the somewhat out-of-
date method of scattering circulars. He had never considered adj
vcrtising. 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. i,
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

papers on account of too much front

were 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

Hon. N. C. Crews, Dear Sir: | am
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 | was in
stantly convicted and sentenced to
death and my aged father, a man of
near SO years, vas 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
Pueblo, Colo, assisted by w. B. Town

l succeeded in getting our case to the
supreme court, which readily reversed
the judgment of the lower court, and
granted me "a new trial which will
o come.
Now, lear sir, the fight has just
commenced as the prejudiced class in
that community are determined that
the sentence imposed on my father
and myself be carried out, and they
will use every means in their power
to gain their hellish ends, and to
thwart all in their desire to see me
get Justice. I appeal to you for finan-
cial aid, If you can assist me in any
way through the columns Of your pa
per, or otherwise, to meet the finan-
cial demands involved, it will be great

JACK 4RIeHr.p

Paris, June 12.-Jack johnson is u.s.
ing the same tactics in preparing for
his fight with Frank Moran that he
employed in Australia when he was
getting into shape to fight Tommy
Burns for the championship.
Daddy" Vienne, promoter of the
Johnson-Moran contest, called up
Johnson's mansion the other morning,
intending to speak to Johnson's valet.
Instead of the valet it was Johnson
who answered the telephone. Vienne
was startled to hear Johnson's voice
and asked him what he meant by be-
ing at home at 10 o'clock in the morn
ing and wondering why he wasn't on
the road working out.
Johnson explained that he had al
ready covered ten miles that morning.
Instead Of waiting until near noon to
do his road work Johnson is out drill
ing when dawn breaks. He did the
same thing in Australia and it worked
well. By the time the average fighter
rolls out of ben, Johnson has done
half a days work.
Afternoon Tea Popular.
The big champion is still conducting
his afternoon teas. At these sessions
Johnson does some real boxing, shad
wv fighting, bag punching, losses the
medicine ball, skips the rope and does
numerous other things, to the delight
of fashionable men and women who
pay money for the privilege of seeing
him train.
