Swell Heads,

In all depart ents of the gov
ernment we see men who have
been promoted to positions and
Immediately become effected with
a swell head. These indiVid uals
arrogate TO themselves superior
power, so much that they become
tyranical and absusive over those
who are subordinate TO them in
official positions. 1t is not neces-
sary for man to loose his head
and think that he is better than
all Others. If you take a small
man and put him in office and he
has a few persons under him, he
will at once attempt to show his
ims sginary authority. This obtains

"The death rate of the COlOred race
is far in excess of the white race, be-

has not been confined to and partlCu-

death Of the whites is found to be

wears nine months and four days. The
cause of the excessive death rate OF
the Colored race Is attributable to de-

and neglect" ," he makes 1t quite clear
that thirty five wears of freedom have
served Oaly to lower the race IN the
social scale. AS slaves they were
compelled TO observe the laws of
health and good behavior, and 1t IS
true to-day that the IegroeS who have
the best manners, the best positions,
and lead the most moral lives are
those who were born in slavery. The
same comparison holds good in the
material affairs Of life.
If the negro believed all that was
said and written about him he would
soon conclude that there was no

there are some people who are Of
the opinion that the old slave is far
superior to the present negro.
Indeed some Of our courts have
more respect Tor the old and ignor
ent slave than they have for The
rising young negroes. There may
be more deception among the
young rising negro than there was
among the old slaves. The white
man would have you to elieve
that a greater number of negroes
are dying out than ever before.

It is going therounds of the press
that the old slave is more prcfera-
BILE to some people than the rising
young negro. That may be very
true and probably the young negro
of this day should be watched.
This city is full of inrerlopers
and men who have lost their infu-
ence in their own States. The
Washington people, to a great ex-
tent, are very weak: they allow
themselves to be imposed upon by
those interlopers and are thus de-
prived of what is really due them.
Prof. Booker T. Washington was
in the city on Tuesday and was ell
tertained at luncheon at Gaskins and
Gaines. Among those who enter
tained him were Messrs. NcCary,
Terrell, Cooper and Galloway.
Some people imagine that they are
prominent because they associate
with prominent men. The news
papers of this Country that have
attempted to make leaders for the
negro race will fail. There are
certain colored men in this country
the people will not have, neither
will they allow them to represent
them.
Recorder Cheatham will be re-
tanned Notwithstanding the OppO-
siJion of few small frys. There
have been all kinds Of Tumors in
circulation but, President Roose-
welt has informed the friends Of
Croslin, of Missouri, Bradford of
Maryland, that there will be no
change In the office of Recorder of
Deeds. Mr.. Cheatham' OppOsi-
! tiOn only comes from a few dis
gruntled negroes who are candi-
dates for his place:

Register Of the I easury, few ey-
enIng ago. The Captain was talk
ing a stroll and when he was asked
what he thought of the present ad-
minis ration, he said that President
| Roosevelt is making an excellent
| President. There is no doubt that
Captain Lyons is one Of the most
representative negroes in this coun-
try and a man in whom the negroes
have the most implicit confidence
Recorder Cheatham's only fault
is that be tries to help every man.
He has done more for the District
people than any Recorder that has
ever been in the Office. He should
! look after those who look ter
him. President Roosevelt is per
fectly satisfied with him.
The Commissioners of the Dis
rict will appoint a few colored
men shortly. Chief Dutton, who
claims to be great friend Of the
colored people Is making great head
way in appointing good colored
men to office. lie has been in one
eight months aud not = celOred

Chief Dutton is so much interested

not found one worthy negro to ap-
