Bees Initiated by Wasps.

The average countryman would
laugh at you if you were to tell him
that you had seen the wasps this sum-
mer playing the part of the exemplary
bee and gathering honey from the
flowers in the garden. But the coun-
tryman would be wrong and you would
be right, for of late, for some mys-
terious reason, the wasps have been
busy among the tall flaming spikes of
the red hot pokers (Tritoma uvaria).
What the bees think of it one can
not say, but they are not to be seen
mingling with the wasps. The latter,
when they feel inclined toward honey,
usually make an attack upon the near
est beehive, and very often come off
second best, unless they attack in
force. But now that the wasp has
shown an inclination to gather honey
first hand from flowers, surely the
scientist can step in and teach it to
store it for the needs of man in the
comb, which it can already make as
perfectly as the bee, although of a
different material. The chief diff
Guilty, perhaps, would be to prevent
the wasp, like the child in the straw
berry bed, from eating all he gathers
on the spot-Pall Mall Gazette.

Baby Snake Wins Battle.

A baby rattler which was hungry
and a mouse which had no desire to
be a victim fought it out yesterday in
a cage in the window of a fish store
at 1865 Fulton street, Brooklyn, says
the New York World. Mother Snake
and eight little brothers and sisters
watched the baby fight its first bat
tie for a meal.
Fifty men and women crowded
about the window during the Is min
utes that the mouse held out. The
baby rattler chased him from one cor
ner of the box to another. striking.
coiling and uncoiling, while Mother
Snake looked on with pride.
Mr.. Mouse had several bad falls in
trying to get out of the box, and
finally fell and lay still. Baby Rather
surveyed it's victim and prepared for
a meal But Mother Snake, being
frugal, took the meal away from her
son, deposited it in a corner and kept
all the family tantilazed for en- hour.
Then they fed.

THANKSGIVING.

Thanksgiving returns with usual
accompaniment of good crops, full
barns and prosperity. The Prcsi
dent names Thursday, November
29th, as the day of special thanks
giving for blessings, guidance and
prosperity vouchsafed to the Ma
tion, and in accordance with the
proclamation issued by the head Of
the National Governor Jesse F. Me
Donald, chief executive OF the
state of Colorado, also proclaims
November 29th as a day of prayer
and thanksgiving to the people of
the state. Both the United States
and the people of Colorado have
special reason to give thanks to the
Ruler of Nations, who holds the
destiny of the worlds in his hands
for the blessings granted to the
people of our republic during the
past year.

President dishonorably discharg-
ing three whole companies OF
colored troops; mobs, disfranchise-
ment and Jim Crowism, but the
Negro is not discouraged. He is
determined to win his fight. He
has come through many hard
trials, and is still going onward
and upward. His faith is un-
daunted, his courage unabated and
the cry of his soul is to trust God
and succeed. A people preserving
faith under such stress of oppo-
sition are sure to win in the end.
Such seasons as a national Thanks

to reconnoiter our forces, garner

strength and marshal our talent

gives more vivid lessons and
greater inspiration than the words

storehouse of strength for many
discouraged souls, and it affords
an arsenal and fortress for The
Negro at this time. The Colorado

A GOVERNMENTAL
PROBLEM.

Are the American people in gov
ernmental affairs a unit, dual or
multiplication? This must soon
be settled.
Japan has brought case against
our country for violation of treaty
agreement in separating Japanese
children in the public schools of
San Francisco. President Roose-
welt dispatched Secretary Metcalfe
to California to examine the situa-
ton. The secretary has made his
report that the treaty was violated
and declares that the Federal
courts must find California s laws
separting the children of Asiatics
from native children unconstitu-
tional. This decision will involve
the whole question of separate
schools, and the Negroes rights
will get a new hearing.
America is making a jumble and
jungle in attempting to make COM
mon law square with race issues.
1t is evident that the nation can
know no permanent peace until the
"ghost of state rights" is forever
settled by an unequivocal decision
from the United States Supreme
Court that the nation outranks the
state in all questions touching the
fundamental pricniples set forth
in the Federal constitution.
Whatever may have been the
purpose of the constitution franz
ers in providing for dual govern
ment-national and state-there

A GROWING CASUS BELLI.

There is a growing estrange-
ment in the Negro ranks over the
method of procedure in attainment
of civic and constitution privilege
and assertion of manhood rights.
This paper, which has endeavored
all along to be unbiased, now pro-
poses to set both sides before the
public and let them choose.
One side is championed by that
indefatigable toiler and builder,
Booker T. Washington, who adj
vises education, industry, saving
and quiet constructive methods OF
working the race into active parti-
cipation into affairs of citizenship
and business, and equal opportuni-
ties before the law.
The other side is lead by the
f e arl ess, progressive, logical
thinker, DeBois, who advises fight,
knocks, force, vigilence, indigna-
ton and self-assertion in order to
maintain and secure recognition
for the race in every walk of life.
Both of these eminent leaders
have host of followers, and the
thing for each Negro to do is to
study the spirit and method laid
down by each of these champions
and live up on one side or the
other.
Philadelphia is now pointed TO
as the seat of the new movement.
1t was there that the colored peo-
pie rose in mass, preceded by Il
few leading citizens, and compelled
the city authorities to put a stop
to the performance of the CLANS
man. 1t is now proposed to hang
the names of these new leaders in
letters of gold and frames of silver
in every Negro home, schoolroom,
lodge and church of this country
as an example of brave, patriotic,
race-loving men who took liberty
and life into their own hands, lead
a mass of intelligent, outraged peo-
pie to the door of theatre and to
the mayors Office and in the name
of decency and their citizenship
demanded that Dixon and his
troupe of vulgar performers be
driven from the city, and it was
done. These men went not as beg
gars or sycophants, not as plead
ers, parasites or fatterers, but as
earnest, high-toned, loyal Ameri-
can citizens, whose sense of de-
cency and justice was being out
ragged, and demanded that the
abuse of manhood, rights and
honor be prohibited, and it was
done.
This is an exhibition of the dc
termination and courage of the
Anglo-Saxon and the spilit of '7e
and found ready redress in con-
stituted authority 1t is a iine ex-
ample of the zeal that ought to be
practiced by colored people e5ery-
where. In these days OF Negro
funkyism and cowardly suhmis-
sion to wrongs and indignitie; il
is forceful lesson. 1t forcibiy
brings us to the point to consiCer
that it is not always wise to be
simply patient and deserving, but
sometimes it is necessary to show
bulldog grit and a spirit of deter
mination to secure our rights by
all honorable and patriotic means
Between these two methods the Ne
gro must take his stand. Both ere
