Who does not know Bob Hughes?
He lives on the hill and his laugh
echoes feminist the court house.
The stork lit on Bob's chimney
not long ago and Bob thought the
ht''e baby was the only one in Critten-
don county. Bob sat very quiet and
listened very intently to the instruct
ions Of the learned doctor Various
were these directions and some in
cluded a system of diet out of the
ordinary for the young mother
The doctor arose to go. He reached
the front gate, but was hailed by
Bob who rushed out breathless.
.Well. Bob, what Is it?' said
the good natured doctor.
"Oh doctor, do you reckon it will
hurt the baby for me to eat cab
bage?'

Crittenden county has one farmer
who Is a wonder. The amount Of
business transacted by him and the
amount of cash that passes through
his hands each year is something
amazing. Last year this man sold
nearly 1000 hogs at an average OF
SO per head. This year his am
bition is to market 1000 or more,
He rarely has sick hogs on his farms.
Cholera is unknown. He buys all
the tallow that comes to his town and
makes a soap out of concentrated
I've aud tallow. This he pours in
the trough and his hogs are not sick
and are never bothered with lice OF
cholera. He says that to buy forty
cent corn and feed to six cent hogs
is easy money, almost like taking
candy from the baby. He has been
known to deliver in ten days SllOOC
worth of cattle and hogs. There Is
stored on his farms 1000 bushels Of
corn. and not an ear for sale. The

DEVILS AUCTION" SOON

Manager Charles II. Yale says the
Devils Auction" is the best paying
piece of theatrical property in Amer
lea, and gives the following reasons
to substantiate the claim;
First, II has been on the road con-
tinuously for twenty-five seasons.
SECOND it has always pleased Its
many thousands of patrons through
out the country.
Third, ii has always been kept
up TO the times with novelties and
Innovations, making it each season
new performance, simply retaining
the old name as a trademark
Fourth, it has never presented any
thing to offend and caters to the la
dies and children.
Fifth. the theatre going public are
always sure of enjoying pleasant
evenings entertainment and seeing
what the management advertises.
The one reason why everybod,
should see it this year is that th'
26th edition Of the Devils Auction
is new in It's entirety.
Manager Haskell of the Park oper'
house gives his personal guarantee
that the Devils Auction" is one o

LOSS OF ABOUT $3.50
IN PALISADE HOTEL FIRE

About 1880 o'clock last night a
thin wall surrounding the big fur
mace fiue in the Jordan hotel at Pal
isade caught fire. and in a short
time the flames ate their way through
the small pieces of timber clear up
the wall for the entire height of two
stories.
The fire was discovered by men in
the barroom and water was poured
down upon the flames from the top
of the second story wall extinguished
the flames III very few minutes.
Had not the fire been discovered
soon after it started. the entire block
OF buildings would have been endan-
gered. As 1t was. no serious loss
was sustained and the building was
not badly damaged. The total loss
will not exceed $3.50 and is fully

The time has come for cOlored Am

huenced by men whose ambition is
to trim and cater to the vile senti-
ment of toadyism..
1t is true that we have traitors
among us. 1t is true that there are
some colored men, no matter what
is done for them, will sacrifice prin-
ciples and honor. The Bee is con-
fdent, however, that nine-tenths of

FOR
BE PATIENT?

Be patient is the declaration OF
the bread and butter brigade, 9TH
erwise the oficeholders. This is
what these sucklings are telling the
colored Americans. This is what
the trimmers and apologists are
saying to those who are suffering
discrimination under this admins
tration. The colored Americans
have been patient long enough. We
are also told by Mr.. Washington to
cease crying. Why should We?
How can we when we are stabbed
and wounded in part of our bodies ?
Patient! The coward and the syco-
phant will be patient. They will
sit and allow themselves to be pun
ished, insulted and repudiated
without protest. We are tired of
listening to such rot. The admins
tration is doing nothing for the col
ored Americans. The administra-
ton is doing all in its power to bury
justice and fairplay. There is moth
ing for the colored Americans to
do but to fight. The Bee doesn't
mean physically. The Bee means
that the colored man must chose
between two evils-the Republican
and Democratic parties. The Dem
ocratic party has offered no induce
ments to the colored Americans,
and the so-called Republican party
with Mr.. Roosevelt as its leader
has set the colored Americans &c
years back. Those who are telling
the colored Americans to be patient
should die, so that honest men may
live. We are patient, but the time
has come for the colored Americans
to strike.

him to touch him and look up in his

Of double and doubtful meaning, just
so long will the white man feel that he
ought to be Jim Crowed. Independence
and manhood always attract; subservl-
ency and obsequiousness always beget a
snub and a kick. Let the Negro think
more" of himself and less Of the white
man. in matters political, financial and
religious and he will fare better and be
treated better.
So let the Christian devils of Seat
tie Jim Crow the Negro delegates who
are so lacking in self-respect as TO at
tend this Christian CD gathering. With
this notice given two months before the
meeting, every Negro has due notice Of
the treatment in store for him.
Since the above was written the fol-
lowing action has been taken:
Seattle, Wash, May 2o.-Seattle Ne
goes met yesterday and passed resolu-
tiOns asking Negro bishops and dele
gates to the Christian Endeavor con-
vention to be held here this summer 20
stay away from the convention and the
city.
One of the hotels of this city recently
refused to give accommodations for the
colored delegates with the white dele
gates. The Christian Endeavor enter
tainment committee refused to interfere
with the ruling of the hotel, and the ac-
ton of the Negroes yesterday is the re-
suit.
We hope and trust that the resolutions
will meet ready and unanimous accept
ance on the part of all Negroes who had
contemplated going.
Jim Crow Christianity is something
we are neither compelled nor willing to
stand.

he St. Luke's Herald.


Seattle, Wash, May Io.-The enter
tainment committee of the Christian
Endeavor Societies of Seattle having in
charge preparations for the National
Christian Endeavor convention, to be
held here in July, has voted that the
Negro delegates to the convention shall
not be housed in the same hotels with
white visitors.
In my Fathers house are many man

for American Negroes.

of employees in the Government
Printing Office this week. Among
the discharges were many colored
women. The information of The
Bee is that at the time the Public
Printer took charge of the printing
office there were one hundred col
ored women employed there and a
thousand white women. Ninety .
eight of the hundred colored wom-
en- have been discharged, and only
thirty white women. The discharg-
ed employees were indorsed by Sen
ators Dick and Foraker, ,Depew and
Cannon, Senator Cullum and Sen
ator Hemengway. There discharg-
es were made on the recommenda-
ton of a Democratic chief of the
division, who was appointed by

of the colored women discharged
were Mrs. ]. 7. Layton, Mrs. S.

COLORED AMERICANS.

The meeting of representative
colored Americans at True Re
formers Hall last Monday night,
to protest against the forced nom
ination of Secretary of War Will
lam Taft was in every respect a
representative gathering.
The speeches of those who took
part were pointed and logical, and
demonstrated the fact that the col
ored Americans throughout the en-
tire country are unanimously
against the Administration. The
opposition of The Bee to the Ad-
ministration and its presidential
candidate Hon. William Taft, is
growing, and there is no doubt that
the entire colored race will be unan-
imous in its opposition by the time
the next presidential convention is
held. Hon. Archibald Grirnke, of
Massachusetts,, delivered a most ell
oquent address. Chairman Wal
daon and the manner in which he
handled the gavel convinced the
vast audience present that he knew
his business. He made a most dig
nifed and positive presiding officer.
Now the dogs of war have been
set free, let them permeate the pre-
cincts of the North, East and West.
The Washington bee., 1907-06-01
A FAKE.

The Bee is asked by a represent
ative Republican, whose letter will
be seen in another column, whether
an alleged Republican Interstate
League was genuine. For the ben
eft of this writer and all other Re
publicans throughout the country,
The Bee begs leave to say that this
is a "fake" organization, and all
that exists of this so-called league
is in the newspapers. You need not
give yourself any uneaSineSs con-
corning its power and influence, be-
cause they are as harmless as the
head of the institution. Pay no at
tention to it, please, because it is
a waste of time. A job upon the
laboring force in one of the gov
ernment departments will satisfy
the head of the organization, who
is as harmless as a ten-cent wind
mill. His imaginary greatness
comes to him in dreams and visions
and what he sees then in print he
imagines that he is at the head of
a great political club.
