CHARGE COLOR LINE IN SOL
DIERS' HOME.
Disgrmtlcd Non Raise Trouble Over
Seating.

From the Boston American
Marshalltewn. Ia, March 2o.-Spec-
ial-An effort was attempted on the
part Of three disgruntled members OF
the soldiers home today to make ii
appear as though the color line was be-
ing drawn in the old mems building.
There are eight colored members of the
building, in charge of Capt Nicholas
Swenson. This morning at breakfast
Swenson assigned two members at 9TH
er tables to a table where he had al
ready seated most of the other colored
men. Jacob Howard, Leroy Stevens
and Enos LuckadO, all colored, entered
a complaint at headquarters, and re-
fused to eat, saying that Swenson was
drawing the color line.
Swenson assured them that it was not
the case, but some colored members had
suggested it would be more congenial to
have all negroes at one table This
view was taken up by majority of the
negroes, and has been requested by them
in other homes.
There is no difference in the service
or meals and two white men remained
at the table with the eight colored.
Captain Swenson says if he wanted to
draw the color line he would change
the mems quarters, which has not been
done nor is it contemplated. Adjutant
Walker, with whom the complaint was
entered, advised the men to create no
disturbance till Colonel Horton, who is
in Des Moines, returned Howard,
Stevens and Luckado did not eat meals
all day. Stevens was discharged a few
years ago for making false statements
about Chaplain Cole.

VARDAMAN.
From the N. Y. Evening Post

From the n. Y. Evening Post
Gov. Vardaman has begun his cam
paign for the Senate by his usual dema-
gOgic attack upon the Negro. In his
opening speech he said: IF it is neces-
sary that every Negro in the State be
lynched, it will be done to maintain
white supremacy" and he added with
commendable frankness: "The white
man, the Caucasian, is utterly con-
scienceless when it comes to racial ex-
istence." At the same time he stated
that he was not hopeless of a solution
of the race problem. But constructive
remedy is, as usual, not to be found in
his speech. In marked contrast with
this exhibition of semi-savagery on Gov
Vardaman'S part is a recent utterance BY
ex-Gov. Northen of Georgia. Il be-
lleve," he said in speech in Atlanta,
every one of mob a red-handed muir
derer, whether he be the tail-end mem
Der or a leader. | consider peo-
pie who burn Negroes as savages hot
from hell. Just now we are 1apsing into
barbarism, and our civilization is Slip
ping from us. Something must be done"
While the Columbia State feels that this
is too pessimistic, it expresses its opin-
ion that I'VE have a few public men, not
many, who seem to be doing all they
can to fan the fame of hatred between
the races, instead of trying to extin-
guish il" There are many other signs
that the South is rapidly dividing into
two classes: those who follow Varda-
man and Tillman in their blindlv de-
structive policy, and those who, like Mr..
Northen, believe that there is such a
thing as a Christian duty towards
backward race-baclward by reason of
the white mans cupidity.

been removed down to the first floor.
A month later the cellars had been ex-
cavated, plungers for the elevators had
been driven down to solid rock, and the
underpinning of the adjoining houses
had been completed. At that date the
foundations had not been built, and the
site was only hole in the ground. Steel
cantileyer girders, TO sustain the main
columns of the new building, began to
arrive about the end of July.
Early in August the last girders were
set, and the whole steel construction
work was erected in the record time OF
six weeks and one day Ordinarily the
process would have occupied double the
time. By September IS, the steel skele-
ton work of twelve stories having been
completed, housesmiths were hoisting
parts of the mansard roof into place,
and the stone and brick work was well
under way. Although the masonry had
to be started from a point twenty-five
feet below the curb the side and rear
walls had then been carried up to the
fourth floor. The granite work of the
front and the cut-stone work of one
story were in place, while the arching
and freproof work Of eight stories were
ready Carpenters had been at work
for several days putting in temporary
stairways and frames, and much of the
material for the inside of the structure
was on hand The plumbing, electrical
work. elevator construction, and metal
furring were all well advanced.
The stone front of the building is an
example of remarkably quick work, hav-
ing been erected from the sidewalk TO
the roof in less than FIVE weeks. In con-
sidering the rapidity of the whole con-
struction, it should be remembered that
the girders used in the foundation are
Of unusual size and weight, fact which
in itself delayed the work for many days.
On January 2I the first tenant moved
into the building, on the ninth floor,
having complete use of his offices, of
toilet rooms. and of elevators. Other
tenants took possession of their rooms
in February, and on March 9 still others
moved in, occupying the entire first and
second floors. The Evening Post began
to install the equipment of the hand
room on March @.

THE SOUTH'S NEED OF WHITE
SERVANTS.

From the Mobile, Ala, Register.
A housekeeper asks the Register to
give advice and assistance in the matter
of providing domestic help. She says
that the situation has become intoler.
able, as colored help cannot be obtained
In her distress she has written to the
paper to ask if something can be done
to get white domestic servants by immi-
grafton or in any other way. The I'M
migrants who come to this country are
of the farming or laboring class, and
are ill-ftted to become domestic seu-
ants. The only foreigners who are ca
pable of this sort of service are the
Chinese and Japanese, and the Chinese
are barred out, and the japanese are
likely to be barred out by treaty, it be.
ing the consensus that they do not form
desirable addition to our population
The only source Of supply is in the
Northern Stares. There is found
class of white people accustomed to do
mestic service, but it is difficult to per
suade these people to come South. They
have the idea that the South is a very
hot and sickly region, and, besides, they
fear that they may come into ass0cla-
ton with Negro servants. Neverthe'
less, if a considerable number Of house
keepers here would organize an asso-
citation, pledged to employ white serT-
ants, and would send a Trustworthy
agent to the North to explain the pc
cuiiarly favorable situation of Mobile
in climatic and health point Of view and
to give assurance of good treatment and
good wages, 1t might result in bringing
IN so large a number of applicants as 10
form basis for colony" so to speak
1t must be recognized that half dozen
or so of these white servants. If they
were all, would find their isolation 100
great to be long endured. New Orean;
has large number of white servants
principally as help in restaurants. NO
bile may be able to get the same help
the business is undertaken in earnest

While modern methods have made
rapidity in the construction of large
buildings matter of familiar knowI-
edge, which is now taken as a matter
OF course, the speed of the work in erect
ing the new home of the Evening Post

attention. The comments it evoked from
non technical observers were well
rounded. One of the builders. the firm

has anyone to let the building to
a person and that person discrim-
mate against the citizens of the

their color? Is such an act right
and proper? Can this be called

CRAIG VS.. EVENS.

The Bee doesn't quite understand
the great interest that the two col
ored members of the Board of Ed
ucation have in the Craig VS.. Evens
case. Why is it that they voted
so quickly to dismiss Cardozo,
against whom it was alleged he was
the author of an alleged anony-
nous letter, but didn't attack the
moral character of anyone, but vot-
ed to sustain a man who openly
makes charges of immortality and
when he is called upon for proof
he fails to furnish it? Where is
the consistency? Has not the Board

OUR SCHOOLS.

1t might as we'll be understood
now that the Board of Education
does not intend to allow teachers
or officers connected with the pub
lie schools to commit offenses IN
violation of the rules of the schools
and by some subterfuge say that
they have not been given a fair or
impartial trial, or that the Board
of Education is prejudiced on &C
count of color. The principal OF
the Armstrong Manual Training
School has been a victim of SEEM
ing conspiracy to do him personal
wrong. There are some people in
this city who are inimical to the
Armstrong Manual Training
School. They are of the opinion
that there is an attempt to force in
dustrial education in the schools.
The colored people are in need OF
industrial education. The Bee is
more convinced now than it has
been heretofore that the Armstrong
Manual Training School should be
supported, and those colored people
who want to educate their heads
and allow their hands to grow up in
ignorance should be made to see
the importance of manual training.
The colored schools are in a de-
plorable condition and DR.. Chancel-
lor and the Board of Education
will do the public a service if they
will inaugurate some radical re-
forms. The principal of the Arm
strong Manual Training School has
no color prejudice. He is one man
who has recognized merit ever since
he has been at the head of that in
stitutiOn. He has the respect and
confidence of the people and it is
hoped that the Board of Education
will do all in its power to ferret out
this conspiracy against him. There
are people without the confines of
the schools who are opposed to the
principal. The great trouble with
those who are given a little author
ity, they will attempt to demon
strate their authority. They want
the subordinate teacher to know
that they are the bosses, but the
moment they come in the presence
of their superiors they are patron
izing. The abolition of supervising
principalship in the public schools
will do more to advance the public
school system than anything else.

THE OHIO APPOINTMENT.

L L
The President has a perfect right
to appoint any man to Office he
pleaseS, but The Bee thinks that
the appointment of Mr.. Ralph w.
Taylor, the Columbus, Ohio, poll
tician, to the authorship for the
Navy Department is small politics
in view of the personal fight that
he is making on Senator Foraker.
The President, it is claimed, wants
to convince the colored people that
ne is not opposed to them. The
colored people are thoroughly con-
vinced and all the appointments
the President will make will not
change their opinion of him. In
the first place, Mr.. Taylor doesn't
represent the cOlored Republicans
of Ohio. He has no following
whatever in his State. This ap-
pOintment will do more harm than
good and certainly the colored vot-
ers in Ohio will not indorse it. 1t
is not natural that the colored vote
of Ohio will desert Senator Fora
ker and neither will this appoint
ment influence one vote in theState.
Men who stand for something in
Ohio are such men as Editor Chew
is, Geo. H. Myers, John P. Green,
Jesse A. Brown, Harry Smith and
many others. These men have a
following. The Bee is confident,
however, that such men named
above would decline an appoint
ment from the Administration.
They would prefer to go down in
defeat to sacrificing their honor and
manhood. While there is but little
manhood in some apologists in the
Administration, The Bee knows
that these men belong to the indie
pendent school in Ohio politics.
The Bee has no fear of the outcome
IN the contest between Senator For
aker and Mr.. Taft. If there ever
was any manhood in the colored
Americans in this country this is
the time to show it.
