BUY LAND.

From the Christian Index.
There has been I,tIo,Ooo immigrants to
the United States in 1906. They are
coming at the rate of 100000 per month.
1t does not take philosopher to see that
if they come to the South the price of
land will be enhanced. The fellow who
does not own a home of some
kind will have to pay two prices for It.
In many cases land of any value will
not be sold to the Negro A wise man
will built his house before the rain be-
gins to deluge the land, but the fool only
thinks about building while it is raining.
We hereby urge the Negro to begin at
once and buy a home of some kind. II
YOU are a farmer buy 10 or 20 acres and
pay for that and afterwards buy more.
The Negro who refused to seize this
opportunity in purchasing a home will
have a costly penalty to pay in few
years.

Miss Anna L. Rennair and Mr.. James

nesday evening last at the First Congre-
gational Church, by Rev. w. L. Cash.

Mr.. and Mrs. Holmes have a host of
friends and they were given hearty con-
gratulations over the event, and sincere
hope was expressed for happy welded
life, but God willed that their honey
moon should Cnly be of a few short davs.
Sunday afternoon Mr.. Holmes COM

called and everything possible was done
tor his recovery. 1t developed that he
had congestion of the brain and heart
trouble. He was tenderly cared for, but
gradually grew worse and the end came
about noon on Monday.
The funeral took place from the resi-
dence on Wednesday afternoon. and the
impressive ceremony was conducted by
Rev w. L. Cash. The funeral was at
tended by large number of friends, and
many floral designs were to be seen.
Mr.. Holmes was a well known butcher
about twenty-eight years of age. He
was born in Charleston and came to this
city about ten years ago and worked
with his cousin, Mr.. James E. Weston.

they amount to nothing. The ap-
pointing powers seem tC think that
the colored citizens are not entitled
to recognition of any magnitude,
and for that reason a very few if
any are gOven any recognition. The
Bee is of the opinion that some
thing ought to be done The En-
gineer Commissioner of our local
government has not seen fit to ap-
point a colored man to any position
of merit, and neither has one been
promoted, no matter how worthy
he NAV be. In this connection The
Bee has in view young colored

is. This young man has been rec
commended for promotion at least
three different times by the chiefs
of his department to the Engineer
Commissioner, and three different
times white employees less compe-
tent have succeeded him.
Mr.. Lewis is a young man who
has learned the business in the Wa
ter Department sufficiently to war
rant a promotion, but on account
of his color he remains in the same
place, but very often designated to
do clerical work in which he is
more proficient than those over
him. Why is this? Will the new
Engineer Commissioner become in
toXicated with the prejudices of
his department and allow this wor-
thy young man to remain where he
is when ne is entitled to a promo
ton? The Bee hopes not The
Bee would suggest to this Com
missioner to treat the colored cit
liens as fairly as the other two
Commissioners, and do something
at once for worthy colored citizens.
If the colored taxpayers are en-
titled to anything The Bee hopes
that the local government will show
it.

WHY TREACHERY FAILS.

w IL NL<[AAL1lILNI L L <AlL<Ds
There is a great deal of treach-
cry and demagogy in this world.
You will find them in the church
as well as in the affairs of govern
ment. There is as much in the
church, if not more than you will
find in the affairs of State. When
a man is right, time alone will vim
iicate him. 1t is an aphOrism too
true, Truth crushed to earth will
rise again" About one year ago
the Rev. J. Anderson Taylor, one
of the best-known ministers in the
United States, was accused of an
offense which was not sustained by
the perjured testimony of his ac-
cuser. There were certain moral
lists CD who cried Cruelty him."
He was defeated for reelection by
an element that could not them
selves stand the rays of a calcium
light. He withdrew from the fac
ton who were too good % to
associate with him, and established
a church of his own. Within
very short time his faithful follow
ers purchased another church and
baptized it TRINITY. The SER
vices held in this new edifce last
Sunday morning and evening were
a triumph of truth, and the
Rev. ]. Anderson Taylor. They
were demonstrations that would
have done honor to the gods. 1t
was a condemnation of the liars
and his accusers. They were a vim
dication of the truth and a Danish
ment of the sinners. The people
of Trinity ought to feel congratu-
lated. Rev. J. Anderson Taylor
has triumphed over liars, dema-
gogues and his traducers.
Treachery will fail when truth
is crushed. May Trinity succeed
and may the memory of J. Ander-
son Taylor be perpetuated after his
demise, (which The Bee hopes will
not be for one hundred years to
come.

ten that they have lost confidence IN
human nature. This is the first
time in the history of the colored
people in this community that
moneyed enterprise has ever met
with success. or any other enter
prise among colored people. The
reason of this IS, men have been
placed at the head of the \. NJ.
c. \. who are working for the in
terest of the people. The Bee wants
to see every high-sounding contrib
utor pay up, and at once. 1t IS
all easy matter for a person to give
his name and the amount III the
heat of enthusiasm, but paving the
contribution is another thing. The
Bee, however, has no reason to be
lieve that every subscriber will not
promptly pay in his subscription.
The Bee extends its congratula-
tions to DR.. ]. F. Shadd and 9th
ers, but especially to DIR. Shadd,
who managed the canvass SO sys-
tematically and magni6cently. The
Bee has been also assured that the
new building will be constructed by
colOred men.
Hereafter, if the citizens of this
city want to succeed let them get
rid of the interlopers and place
their affairs in the hands of honor
able and upright men.

THE CONSERVATION STANDS
FIRM.

From the Chicago Conservator.
The following notice appeared in the
Baltimore, Md, Weekly Guide, and is
now going the rounds of that class Of
Negro newspapers which wonder how
the Conservator can live and have its
being and stand first in the highest class
of Negro newspaper journalism and not
be subsidized and on the payroll How
can the Conservator get big and bold
like the New York Age, the Washing
ton Bee, ct al, and not be on the Ius-
kegee payroll? Well, the Age and the
Bee were humble and race-loving peo-
pie and true to the people until taken
off their feet by Tuskegee money. Since
that they have flunked and fallen The
Conservator is still with the people and

June 30. Hitherto the minimum tariff
has been applied, under the convention
of 1901. If France is really desirous of
forcing upon the United States the adop-
ton of a maximum tariff for purposes
of retaliation, she is going. about it in
the right way. To single out Porto Rico
coffee exports as an u9friendly mark
seems like a small piece of business.
Perhaps it is intended as warning to
our State Department that France IS
keeping a jealous eye upon our proposed
administrative concessions" in favor of
German goods, and is prepared to strike
back if provocation shall call for it.
Tariff revision without legislation IS
likely to prove a tangled web.

BALTIMORE ELECTION

DALI 14hOINE ELEC 1ONs
The disgruntled and defeated
Republicans in Maryland are now
charging the colored voters with
having acted in bad faith by not
voting the Republican ticket. The
Democratic press dispatches allege
that the Colored voters were
bought off. This is a lie. The
colored voters are learning some
sense. This election was a rebuke
to the Administration and an en-
dOrsement of Senator Foraker. The
colored voters Of Maryland have
shown their good sense. They
were neither bought up nor bribed.
What benefit was it for them to
vote in Republican ingrates?
There is as much honor among
the colored voters of Maryland as
you will find among any bther
class of voters. The colored vot-
erS had their reasons for not sup
porting the Republican ticket, and
their reasons should not be mis-
judged. The same sentiment that
manifested itself in Baltimore this
week obtains through the country
among the colOred voters. There
is feeling of unrest and resent
ment. The Administration may
now see the way in which THE
wind is blowing. Not a colored
man in this country who has vote
would dare to vote for any Ad-
ministratiOn candidate.
The colored man is not so easily
bought off as his enemies may i'm
agine. Let the National Repub-
lican Convention nominate such a
man as Senator Foraker or Vice
President Fairbanks, it will readily
see that the colorei voters will
be a solid. What has the colored
Republicans of Maryland received
from the Administration? They
have been faithful and true to the
party. There have been four big
places given to the State of Mary
land, and not one colored man has
received a thing. The Bee is glad
that Mr.. Harry Cummings was
successful. The colored voters did
not knife him. Had they not sup
ported him he would have suffered
defeat the same as the late Hiram
Watty. The colored man knows
how to vote, and if the Admin
istration does not believe it, NOM
mate Mr.. Taft or any Administra-
ton candidate.

MONUMENTAL ARROGANCE.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
A member of the governing board of
Tulane University, New Orleans, has
sent a letter to Ambassador Bryce, pro-
testing against the appointment Of
Pennsylvania colored youth to one of
the Rhodes Oxford scholarships. The
letter states that the appointment of the
colored man is resented in the South,
and will make Southerners cease TO de-
sire appointments for themselves
The utter cheek of this communication
.surpasses anything we have yet heard
on the race problem" The young man
in question won his appointment by mer-
it, He is not a Southerner He is a
Northern man, and his success we'll
pleased a great majority of the people
of the North. Had he been a Southern
Negro there would have been a trihe less
decency in the complaint of the New
Orleans man. Can it be possible that
he represents sentiment among South
erners that they should regulate the
status of the colored man, not only in
their own States, but in the North as
well?
1t is to be hoped that Mr.. Bryce re-
piled fittingly to the communication from
the man with the monumental nerve.
He might well suggest that it is a mat
ter of supreme indifference to himself,
to Oxford and to the Northern States
whether the appointment is liked or dis
liked in the South He might also prop
erly point out that the scholarships are
somewhat of the nature of charity, and
that prospective benefciaries are not usu-
ally expected to dictate the methods of
dispoSing of the remainder of the fund
from which they are helped
If this university official expresses a
view commonly held it shows that the
Southerners are actually jealous of the
colored people. They would Indignantly
deny any such assertion, but what other
explanation is possible? The appoint
ment of colored man to an Oxford
scholarship in no way interferes with
the regime which Southern people seek
to maintain in their own territory. Even
if the most aristocratic Southern white
youth were to go to Oxford he would
not be compelled to associate socially
with the colored man from Pennsylvania.
By no stretch of the imagination can
the appointment be considered an af-
front to the extremely delicate sensibi1i-
ties of our thin-skinned neighbors. There
is no explanation possible except that
of Jealousy. 1t is apparently distasteful
to see colored man, even though he be
a Northerner, attain honors higher than
those which have come to the Southern
whites And viewed in this light the
letter from the New Orleans man stands
as very near the checklist thing on rec
ord.
