IS
LAND PICNIC.

In the light of recent expert
ences of nun Der of fair picnIek-
ers from this city, who spent the
day pleasantly on Jetferson,s Is
land last Saturday, the question
is prompted: Nv hen Is picnic
not a picnicf" One answer might
tit the easr-when The Old Me
gets into the eFstwhile dependable
mule, beyond pick, prod or
sconrge, and he refuses to haul a
lot of jolly folk home
Last Saturday morning a party
of bright happy faces, full of
youth and anticipation, boarded
wagon, drawn by pair of sturdy
losking mules, headed for Jeffer-
sons Island, where an enjoy aole
day was spent ''And all went
merry as a marriage bell' till the
hour came for the homeward
march. What grudge the mules
had we did not learn, bat they
went Cd a strike and positively re-
fused TO do further service. Al
fort vas made 10 coerce them to
the performance of the expected
duty. The result--a broken down
vaughan Irreparable disaster
r. became case of "walk" if ''get
homeu was the object. Several OF
the party undertook to walk TO
the railroad depot at Bob Acres
but the train pulled out from that
point before they could get there.
Petite Anse then became the OBJ
iective point, six miles away, with
the object of reaching a telephone
station and placing an order Tor
vehicles to come for the stranded
plodders In a near by ball, bril-
Iiantly Illuminated, there were
sounds of revelry-a dance was
on. To this our way farers direct
ed their steps, thinking TO await
their conveysnces there. To aid
in the passing Of the waiting
hours young spirits embarked in
the mazes of the dance. AT 1890
o "a the vehicles we're announced.
Another contingent of the party
of picnickers, after wearyIDg on
their long JOINT homeward, decld
cd 10 rest by the waysIde; but
they bad not taken into considera-
tion the fact that the mosquitoes
had not been chained In their re-
treats of the day. The journey
was resumed and continued till
met by the vehicle sent from town
for them. The first division of
the party got home al midnight
and the others followed an hour
and a half later.
Among the members OF this par
ty were Misses SaIlie Garter, Mar
garet Mueller, HELEN Laughlin.
Martha Fisk, Messrs. Dewitt and
Eddie Evens. The experience
will Do long remembered by those
who tasted of the sweets aud
shared in the hardships of that
days picnic.

heard TO saw 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 dol
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 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. >.

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 sur strained eyes al
most refused the task that was 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 l go, | didn't
mean to call any names, but the
press work on that particular pour
nal was so poor that one could not
even 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.

probation that / review the merits

Our readers are more sensitive to
they are to the big dailies. l often
have a man come into my office to
complain about a stick of matter up

my day had been Sc hours instead OF

Colorado State Penitentiary.

Colorado State ~Penitentiary.
Hon. N. c. Crews, Dear Sir: l 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 l was in
stantly convicted and sentenced to
death and my aged father, a man of
near 83 years, was also convicted as
an accomplice and sentenced from 30
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
send, attorney-at-law of Denver, Colo,
aided at great expense by good citi-
zens of both and members of
my lodge, the R. T. Coles lodge, No.
SO, A. F. and A. M, Kansas City, Mo-,
and my fathers, Prudent lodge, No. 6,
A. E. and A. M, Kansas City, Kas.,
l succeeded in getting u case to the
supreme court, which readily reversed
the judgment of the lower court, and
granted me a new trial which will
oon come.
Now, dear 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. l appeal to you for inan
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
ly appreciated. My reason for sending
you a copy of the supreme courts de
cision and comments, is for you to SCI
