The Washington bee., 1907-03-23

long as we are continuing to give the
people more light and skill and a
higher degree of a Christian spirit,
we are travelling in the right direc-
ton"
After DIR. Washington's address,
the twentv-one colored students now
in H. ard University held an in
formal reception in the spacious
rooms of Walter S. Buchanan, of
Alabama, and E. F. Tyson, of Wash
ington, D. c., in Walter Hastings
Hall.
Dr.. Washington in an address to
them emphasized the Importance of
young Negro college men striving to
achieve individual success before at
tempting to solve the entire race
problem. He said a single individual
success is a better contribution to the
solution of the race problem than a
hundred speeches delivered by men
who had never achieved anything
worth while in their lifetime. He
told a story of an inetrview he had
with a friend whom he had not seen
for twenty years. This friend de
clared that he had not found time
to buy land or purchase a house OF
accumulate any tangible property Of
any sort. He was even then in tat
tered garb. He had not found time
to do these things, because he had
devoted all his talent and energy tc
an attempt to solve the race problem
and he had travelled all over the coun-
try in his effort.
DR.. Washington was very much
pleased with the type of young mer
now at Harvard They represent the
Western and Southern States. 1t was
noticed that not single young mar
belongs in Boston. The following
named young men made up the com
pany: The guests, besides DIR. Wash

COMMITTEE ON LEGISLATION

The president of the Board Of Ed

meeting of the Board of Education,
anoointed Mrs. Mussey chairman Of
the Committee on Congressional Leg
;sIation. The Bee does not wish to
criticise the president Of the Board,
but it does believe that either Captain
Oyster or Mr.. Cox should have been
made the chairman of the committee.
A man is able to do more than
woman, and for that reason either
Captain Oyster or Mr.. Cox should
be at the head of the committee.

ORDERS. TO MOVE.

The United States Marshal, Hon.
Aluck Palmer, has given orders to
the proprietress of the Court Lunch
Room to vacate within thirty days. 1t
will be remembered that The Bee a
few weeks ago called the attention
of its readers to the refusal of the
proprietress of the Court Lunch Room
to serve ex-Justice Z. M. Hewlett in
the dining room set aside for MEM
bers of the bar. Mr.. Hewlett made
complaint to the United States Mar
shall. who promptly took the matter
up and gave notice to the lady that
she could make no discrimination in
the lunch room on account Of color.
She disregarded this order after Mr..
Hewlett had presented himself again
and asked to be served, and he again
called the attention of the Marshal
to her second refusal, with the above
result. The most peculiar thing in
the whole transaction was the action
of certain colored members Of the bar
and colored clerks III the several de
partments of the Government and
one in particular in the Recorder OF
Deeds Office. These lawyers and
clerks continued to patronize this
lunch room after the service had been
refused Mr.. Hewlett. These same
men are foremost in literary societies
and churches contending for civil
rights, condemning race discr1mina-
ton, and telling their people what to
do and what not to do, and they are
the first to violate their own advice

laying claim to be the real leader of tariff
reform with view to the resurrection Of
presidential boom that his friends launch
ed many months ago. and which seems to
have shrunk considerably since the de-
feat Of several leading "standpatters" for
congress. 1t is stated that Mr.. Shaw
will declare IN due time that when Presii-
dent Roosevelt was inaugurated he urs-
ed upon the president that he make I'M

program. The dispatch from Des MONIES
says: Tits regarded here as certain that

Old Cy Leland has lost his prestige,
by his surrender to the Curtis machine and
voting for his lifelong enemy for senator.
Leland had proclaimed the charge a,
every opportunity that Curtis had Molat-
ed solemn pledge, known as the Hor-
ton agreement, to give way to other as
pnants for congress in the FIRST district,
that his word was worthless and that all
Of his public acts were actuated from
purely selfish motives. Only recently he
charged that Curtis is a member of the
Burton crowd and that the election Of
Curtis would be almost as disgraceful a.
the election Of Burton himself. If onl,
a small part Of what he said Of Curt.
were true. he could not have been hon
est when he cast his vote for him 70
senator. 1t was the FIRST time that the ok
fox was pulled and driven and led b,
others higher IN the councils Of the part,
but that one time was sufficient to pu
him down and out forever as a leade
