and fair. All that Mr.. CardOZd
had to do was to prove his limo
cence. and The Bee is confident that
no two men would have been more
pleased to acquit him.
Now, what is the situation
Thus far evidence has been estab-
lished tending to show that a sour
rilO-s letter had been sent to the
Washington Times. Witnesses
have testified that the letter IN ques-
ton resembles the handwriting of
Mr.. Cardoza. If he did not write
the letter, why did he not meet the
charge? Why should he attack the
validity of the Board of Education
The Bee said at the time he ap-
Lealed to the courts that it was a
play for more time.
The Board of Education is de-
termined to investigate the charges,
and the attorneys for the defense
might as we'll meet the issue and
cease there dilatory tactics, and II
Mr.. Cardoza's guilt is not estab-
Hshed The Bee knows that the
Board will say so; but if the evi-
dence establishes his guilt he will
be removed. Professor MOntgOm-
cry has been imposed upon by out
siders. He IS conscientious in his
work, and will no doubt improve
the condition of the colored schools
if he is permitted to do so. There
is every reason to believe that he
and Superintendent Chancellor are
working in harmony for the best
interest of the public school sys-
TEN.
1t is argued by some that it IS
necessary to have a full board pres
ent. President Baird is correct in
his ruling, and the courts will sus-
tain him. that a quorum or a ma
iority Of the members present is
sufficient to try Cardoza. At that
rate. according to the contention
made by the defense one member
NAV absent himself and Cardoza
could never be tried.
Suppose the defense were to in
fuence one member of the Board
to absent himself, teachers could
do as they please and the Board
would be powerless to act.
This contention by the defense IS
too flimsy to consider.

a majority of our voters endorse and
which are behind our great tidal wave

AMERICAN COWARDICE.


America can only boast of her
bravery when she is dealing with
her own subjects, namely the col
ored Americans especially. The
Japanese question was one OF color,
pure and simple, and it was back
down for this republic because the
Japanese had a government at their
back. 1t was a coWardly back
down. The American government,
with an alleged powerful army and
navy, demonstrated that it had no
desire to confront the Japanese
government. Japan demanded salts
faction, and received it. The col
Ored AmeriCans,who have been 10y
al and are today, are ignored and
Disseminated against, and treated
with secondary consideration, while
every foreigner and foreign gov
ernments and their subjects are all
treated most kindly.
The colored Americans are for
ever ready to respond to the call
to protect their country, and are
the first to be ignored and mis-
treated. VIII this republic ever
treat the colored Americans as they
should be treated? Must he con-
tinue to be the willing slave and
Inundated servant to appease the
preiudices of Southern Ohgarchy
The present administration repre-
sents an element of the Republican
party that is more inimical to the
cOlOred man than Southern Demo
Gratis. President Roosevelt is no
friend of the colored Americans.
He never was and he never can or
will be. He has made an effort
to play "tweedle dee and tweedle
dunn" in politics. 1t was a ques-
ton of color in California, but the
Japanese would not stand for it
Powerful as Russia is, Japan COM
PEELED her to feel her power. The
Bee is confident that the United
States will not enter a contest with
a nation like the Japanese or any
other nation that has power behinC
her like Japan. Japan may not have
what the Americans boast of, but i
has a civilization sufficiently intel
hcient to protect her subject
against American prejudice and Op
preston.
The colored Americans have beer
loyal and patriotic. They have nev
er been guilty of treason, notwlth
standing their oppression. The col
ored Americans have been obed1
ent to the laws of their country
and faithful to those who once en-.
slaved them. Japan saw that hel
subjects were being Disseminated
against on account of their nation
ality. She had sufficient force IN
her own country to put troops upon
American possessions under some
pretext, ready at any moment to
strike.
The colored Americans can new
er demand until they have power
like Japan. VIII the colored Amer
ican be needed in the next contilct' :

REVENGE AFTER DEATH

The pulpit is not without fault.
One would suppose that a minister,
no matter what his feelings NAV
be, would not permit them to be
seen or observed in the pulpit over
the remains of the dead. How sad
must the occasion be when a minis
ter of the gospel allows his enmity
to control his better judgment in
the presence of a mourning family
How must the friends, the relatives
and the parents feel when a minis
ter rises in the pulpit to preach
a funeral service with enmity in his
heart? Such has been done, and no
doubt very recently in this COM
munity. The very first word that
he uttered over the body OF his
dead was, had the person lived in
the church death would not have
claimed this victim, or words to
that effect. Then he tells his con-
gregation that another brother who

1T BLIGHTs TIE BRAIN.


What a rare blessing to humanity
that money does not go hand in hand
with happiness, refinement or culture.
Money is a mighty convenient thing to
have about the house or in a bank. but
it does not improve the brain, nor is it
conducive to good morals. A test at
Yale has proved this beyond question
While there is no fear that the poor
boys and girls who are attending the
University OF Wyoming will be corrupt,
ed by plethoric Iocketbooks, the result
at the big New Haven institution will
be of interest to them.
Dean Henry Wright of Yale has filed
q report which shows that poor schol.
arship goes hand in hand with luxuri-
Gus dormitories; that nearly all of the
best pupils in the university live in the
cheap, plain quarters, but that almost
all of the students picked for the Sc,
cret societies come from the rich mems
dormitories.
Dean Wright has kept a record OF
the residence OF the rich and poor stu
dents, and the good and the poor schol
ars In Yale classes for five years, and
his report shows that the residents OF
the elegant dormitories are becoming
worse scholars thar ever, although ii
is growing to be more rare to find an
occupant OF the cheap dormitories in
a secret society. .
Dean Wright does not attack the so.

ton of reform; he recommends that
Yale erect more dormitories so tina,
members OF the freshmen and sophie
mores can be housed by the college in
stead of being lodged in the palatial
private dormitories where, at present
they grow to neglect their studies and
form cliques which run the secret so
%cieties throughout their Yale course,
Dean Wright found in 1904 that 81
per cent of the freshmen living in the
rich mems private d%ormitories had
been reproved by the faculty for poor
scholarship, against II per cent of the
freshmen who roomed in the plain dor,
mitories on the campus.

Wyoming Bride Tells Him She Would
Like to Vote For Him.

Washington, d. c., Dec. 16.-Vice
President Fairbanks and Representa-
tive Mondell of Wyoming met in an
ante-room next to the presidents office
at the White house Saturday. With
the Wyoming man were a bride and
groom, the latter a resident of Oma'
ha, and the lady of his choice the
daughter of Charles h. King OF Wyo

d OF HUGHES.

Governor Hughes of New York is
showing himself a IA of great finan,
cial wisdom as well as a brilliant exec.
'utive in other respects. He sounds
the keynote of the present financial
furry in the following paragraph taken
from a speech made by him at a ban.
quet the other night:
1t is time for the exercise of sagacity
and business prudence, but I believe
that the highest sagacity will be found
in the endeavor to see not to what ex-
tent credit may be restricted, but how
far il may be granted; to see not how
many plants may be shut down, but
how many may be kept open; to see
not how many men may be DISCHARGED,
but how many may be kept employed;
to see not how many orders "a be can,
celed, but how much work can be car
ried on"
That is the entire question as it now
presents itself in a nutshell. If it is
to be the policy of the railroads and
other big concerns of this nation to
enter upon and pursue to its ultimate
end a policy of r~etrenchment, Their this
nation will have to S through a
period of industrial REIMBURSEMENT that
will mean untold hardship to the la
boring classes and indirectly to the en-
tire people, but if, as Governor
Hughes SO aptly states it, every effort
is made by all to extend rather than
to contract, the financial furry will
pass without much difficulty. In fact,
it would now be at an end. In this
respect President Hartman of the
Union Pacific has shown that he is DOS
sessed OF great foresight and wisdom.
His order to resume work on the I'm.
lon Pacific improvements meant more
to the west than any other order given.

THE LEADERS, BRAIN STORM.

The Cheyenne Leader is inclined to
admit that the laws relating to the use
of timber from the unappropriated and
unreserved public lands OF the United
States are all right, but is raising OBJ.
lection to any s7erson being employed
to enforce them. The editor of the
Leader is becoming childish.
Ranchmen and farmers are permit
ted to use $50 worth of timber in any
one year and they are not required to
obtain a permit for this either. When
a person desires to act as an agent for
others, however, it is but Just and right
that he should procure a permit from
the secretary of the interior. Permits
are now issued in the easiest possible
manner Upon application to the chief
of the field division wherein the timber
Is situated, sawmills, If entitled to
timber under the law, are granted
permission without being compelled to
wait until the secretary of the interi,
or shall take action. In all probability.
If the editor of the Leader cared to
make inquiry OF Mr.. A. Baker, CHIEF OF
this field division of the special service.
he would find that the sawmill men
are not being given any trouble in
their operations where they show IA dis,
position to comply with the law, and
that all of them are now operating
under permits granted by the secretary
through the special service.
Those who have been given trouble
are the ones who seek to defy the law
and to cut timber without leave or H.
cense. without owning a foot of land
many have sought to cut and sell tim.
Der at will. When the law is de-
fed, it is proper that the agents of the
government should interfere. The law,
which the Leader commends, is of no
value unless it is enforced.
The government holds that it may
lake its property wherever 1t finds il
II ranchmen buy stolen property they
must expect to make restitution, just
the same as in the case of the theft
OF the property of IN individual. A
citizen would think himself terribly
abused If he had no redress as soon
as his property passed into the hands
Of a third party. Those who buy stol-

chances. And 1t is also true that those
who buy stolen timber must suffer
the consequence If caught. All the
people, through their government, are
entitled to the same protection as an
individual, hence the government is
entitled to recover stolen property or
the value thereof from the third parties
who are careless or Indifferent enough
to buy it. When u man enters into an
his product he should take sufficient
interest in the transaction to learn
whether or not the sawmill man is
stealing his timber or getting it in a
legal way. If the sawmill man is cut.

to sell his product, but if he is operat,

Until The Republican Is given fur
ther, evidence than the unsupported po-
litical howl of the Leader, it prefers
to believe that Mr.. Baker and the
special agents working under him are
proceeding strictly within the provis.
ions of the act of congress and that no
honest man is being seriously injured
by their operations.

Washington, d. c., Dec. 16.-Within
a few days William Howard Taft, Sec
rotary of war. and widely acclaimed as
the next president of the United
States, will again set foot on his ma.
tive shores, after a n absence of a
little more than three months.

crowded a recor Of accomplishments
SO remarkable and of such far-reachine
consequences that its Importance to
this country and the world generally
has not been %obscured, despite the
modest and u~npretentious manner OF
the performance.

Crime Against Civilization.
Nothing is more Infamous than this
suggestion Of war;" he said, indig.
nantly, in his speech at a banquet Civ.
en- in his honor in Toxic. 1T would be
a crime against modern civilization
and a calamity to both countries
Wherever he went he was showered
with official attentions and his speech
was hailed as completely removing
the little cloud that had hung over the
two peoples"
Silenced Japanese Jingoists.
There was no inquiry about the sail
ing of the American Atlantic fleet to
Pacific waters, no intimations that 1t
would be construed as an unfriendly
act. Secretary Taft's speeches com
pletely silenced the jingoists of Japan
as we'll as Of theUnited States.
Restoration of Relations.
The results of his hurried tour Of
Russia will be found in the restoration
of the close relations that exist be
tween America and Russia before the
RussoJapanese a Russian officials
of the highest degree manifested a
spirit of Cancellation n cooperation
in all matters affecting the Pacific.
A Promoter Of Peace.
Mr.. Taft was publicly lauded as a
statesman Of international fame and
the promoter Of peace between Japan
and Russia. Emperor Nicholas con.
veyed through him to the president
expressions of sympathy and regard
for the United States. The traditional
friendship of the countries for each
other was exploited on both sides.
