THE PRESIDENT DEFENDED.
The COlored Citizens OF nemphis Tenn-HeIps
TO Entertain the Chief Executive.

The New York Age in its effort TO
take care of President McKinley's ad-
mlnistrauon, dishes out the following;
The Memphis Colorcd Citizen
says:
President Mckinley was in the CITY
this week. The Negro wasn't in il a
little bIt-not even allowed 10 shake
his lily-white hands-although they
fought, bled and died for him. 1t is
evident that the Presidents Southern
policy IS 10 keep away from the
Negro. If Lincoln or Grant had been
president, We know what they would
have done. Bishop Turner has we'll
said that Mckinley has but very little
interest in the colored Republicans. "
1T was the same at New Orleans
and other points in the South. The
President was the guest of the white
folks and the white folks did not in
-yite any colored folks"
Wrong Mr.. Fortune. The Presi-
dent was the city's guest and the tax
money of Afro-American's helped to
pay the expense of entertaining him.
he continues:
Now the Colored Citizen is right
and il is wrong in its conclusion. We
believe President MCkinleyis as much
interested in his Afro-AmeriCan fel-
lOw-cltizens as he is any of the other
ethnic hyphenatiOn of the National
population no more and no less. But
we have got point where sentiment
IS barred out of politics. Character
and cash talk. We are limited as TO
both in every community. This is tn.
rub. We have got to change the
character and cash rating Of the race. "
You mean TO say that the desCen-
dants of our brave black soldiers,
whose blood was shed at Wagner,
Gettysburv and MilhcaRS Bend, is not
worthy of recognition? You mean to
say that the gallant ninth and tenth
calvary, whose b.OOd saturated the
hills around FL Cana and Santiago, and
whose valor saved the Rough Riders
at San Juan Hill. by turning defeat into
victory, thus terminating the war IN
Cuba. You mean that they are char
acters not worthy of recognition The
President in his address spoke Of the
valor Of the Tennessee volunteers,
but not a word about the black sol
diers. The ninth and tenth Calvary
that saved Roosevelt and his rough
riders. Does this show that he is as
much interested in his Afro-American
citizens, as he is in any oE the other
ethnic hyphenations of the National
population O, no, Mr.. Fortune O,
no, sir!l Although you are con
sldered to be a wise statesman, your
defense falls to pieces Of its own
weight.
We repeat it, the President has but
very little interest in the Atro-Amerl-
cans He is too busy trying to build
up a Ii y-white republican party IN the
South

BOOKER I. Washington
is HE INIMICAL TO THE NEGRO ?
Is he Help to the Negro Pace-What are His
Defamsrs Doing 10 Elevate Negro {?

A great deal has been said against
Prof. Booker T. Washington, the
President of the Tuskegee College
Some few years ago THE BEE didn't
agree with the policy that Prof. Wash
ingtcn was persuing and it didn't hesi-
tate to say so. Since that time he has
been persuing policy that The BEE
thinks is commendable and will tend
to elevate the negro The question IS,
is Prof. Washington inimical to the
negro race? What is he doing He
has established an institution in the
South that is benefitting the negro
masses. He is teaching the negro how
to work and how TO use his hands.
The negro has been using his mouth
long enough and without any result
Prof Washington has found a great
solution to the negro question and is
advocating a scheme whereby the
negro will use his mouth less and his
hands more. All the trouble the
negro South has gotten into has been
caused by his mouth. What are his,
DEFAMKRs DOING
The African Methodist Church, with,
no doubt, the largest member hip, of
any negro organization in this country
with its millions behind it, has been
doing nothing but building churches
and supporting a great school of lazy
negro bishops. These bishops draw
$1,000 per annnm live in massive
stone front houses, while their mem
bership live in the huts and hoyelsi
working day and night to maintain
big churches and faStidious ministers
and bishops. A great number ofthese
ministers don't believe in their own
people, because when they want any
legal and medical business attended
to, they employ the white man and
nine chances out of ten the white man
is their enemy. THE Bee is now
speaking from observation. They
would rather read a newspaper edi-
ted and published by their enemies
than they would support paper edi-
ted and published by a member of
their own race. On the other hand
Prof. Washington has a great institu-
ton in which there are hundreds Of
colored teachers employed thousands
of colored students attend and thOus-
auds of dollars spent among his own
people. This is the difference between
Prof. Washington and the A. NJ. E
Methodist; his defamers and traduc--
ers.

during his lifetime that beyond wide
seas his great thought would be ap-
piled TO children of Colored races by
women of their own color. His noble
spirit would have found, | believe. es-
pecially qualification if he could have
toreseen that the Afro-American race
thirty-years, and only thirty years, out
OF slavery would furnish not only pu.
pills, but teachers for kindergartens.
No one believed more firmly than he
that the future ofa people is in a very
deep sense in the hands of the women
of that people. The kindergarten
training starts with that thought.
l rejoice that the Columbian Kin.
dergarten Association, in which have
so long been interested, succeeded in
introducing the kindergarten in the
public schools of the District, under
the generous encouragement of the
Commissioners and the appropriations
of Congress, and that partly through
the munihcence of that wire and gen
erous woman, Mrs. Hearst, suitable
training schools fol teachers are meet
ing the demand at the public kinder
gartens created. | congratulate Mrs.
Murray and all the others interested in
this school for colored kindergarteners

Brilliant Exercise and Good spec hes
The commencement exercises OF the

held last Tuesday night in the Metro
politan A. NJ. Z. church, where a
large crowd was present. Each grad

programme in which Mr.. Joseph

Miss Lola Johnson sang a soprano
solo, there was a brief address Dy
Mrs. Annie Murray, who IS IN charge
of the school and who has worked
earnestly for its success. Miss HaIrieT

because young Laugston gained mon
