Some of the friends of DR.. Booker 7.
Washington, in their efforts to explain
his position do him more harm than
good. He is a man of great common
sense and rarely if ever makes a blum
der. He is an optimist and is inclined
20 see the bright side of every dark
subject. He is full of hope for the
American Negro and in that opinion he
is backed up by the best of whites as
we'll as the best black Americans. In
the way of bringing the North and the
South together on a common platform
of understanding the race problem he
has done more than five presidents,
and than any leader in the north Oh in
he South. Both sections of the coun-
try recognize this, however, and 1t
must be said to the credit of the South
and of the North that on this one
question they have agreed. Mr.. Wash
ington's friends should pay no atten-
tion to the small frye self appointed
leaders in Boston, Chicago and a few
other small centers, who like the dog
is barking at the moon. They have
nothing to suggest. Let them bark on.

ourselves to take up our own cause,

What are you going to do about it?
The Colored American will be

RECORDER DANCY IN NEWPORT
NEWS, VA.

The colored citizens of Newport
News, Va, in selecting an orator to
make the Emancipation Proclamation
speech on the 1st instant made no mis-
take in selecting Hon. John e. Dancy,
Recorder of Decides. Mr. Dancy was
royalty received and entertained on
arriving at Newport News, and brings
back from that enterprising little
town a most glowing report. He says
there are more than five thousand col
ored people employed in the great ship
yard at that point, receiving salaries
from $3.50 to as high as Sc per day,
that they own a great deal of real es-
tate and that nearly all of them own
their homes. The colored banking and
insurance companies, and grocery
stores there are all doing we'll and
making money. Mr.. Dancy was in
good voice and made one of his charac-
teristic speeches. He returned to the
city last Monday.
The colored American., 1904-01-09

We note that the statement was
made by one or two speakers at the
recent so-caIled Suffrage Convention
held in this city, that Mr.. Booker T.
Washington was indirectly seeking to
secure an endorsement of the conven-
ton in favor of President Roosevelt.
So far from this statement being true.
it is a well known fact that on more
than one occasion Mr. Washington has
directly used his influence with vari-
Gus convention in a way to prevent
their endorsing" the President He
has done this because of the fear that
the constant endorsing of the President
by every assemblage of Negroes in the
country would result in causing the
President to be tabOoed as the Negro
Candidate" and thus these endorse
ments would hurt him rather than help
him.

We gave considerable space in our
last issue to H. r. Bill 4507, intro
duced in the House of Representatives
last November, by General Edward
Morrell of Pennsylvania. The purpose
of this bill is to prevent discrimina-
ton by common carriers of passen-
gers travelling between the states, on
account of race and color. General
MorreIl is friend to the colored peo-
pie and has demonstrated on many
leader, preacher, politician and educa-
tor should take up this bill and dis
cuss it. Every colored newspaper
in the country should print the bill.
The colored leaders should petition
their Representatives in Congress
from the Congressional district of
every state and territory and insist
that their Representatives vote for
this bill or tell them the reason why.
The rights of the ten millions of
colored people in the United States are
being abridged every day. In many
states they are denied the rights of
suffrage, they are denied every civil
and political right, they are denied the
right of public carriers, and if this
discrimination continues the Negro
will soon not have any right at all.

VICTOR, Col, June 10.-The inquest
over the killing of thirteen men by the
dynamite explosion at Independence
was finished today. A sensational
scene was caused by C. c. Hathaway, a
carpenter, who lives within a hundred
9eet of where the explosion occurred.
He said he hurried to the place. He
met man and asked him what was the
matter, to which he received the reply:
"Oh, nothing; only lot of 'scabs' gone
to hell.'
At that instant the witness in STEP
ping over a gully fell directly on one of
the victims. He did not know the man
who had used the language, as it was
still dark, but later on heard him use
about the same words to another per-
son. He inquired the mans name and
was told that it was Joe Craig. The
latter is in jail
Verdict on the Explosion
The jury rendered a verdict that Gus
Augustine, Arthur Muhliese, Henry
Haag, Herbert Mccoy, William Frank
lin, Edward Ross and others came to
their death by an explosion of dyna-
mite or other explosives.
We further find that said explosive
was exploded by an Internal machine
purposely set and discharged by some
