WHAT HAS BEEN ACCOM-
PLISHED?

After all. what has been accom-
pliShed in the school agitation? 1t
is quite evident that the Board of
Education will do all in its power
to improve the condition of the
public schools, no matter who may
be affected. How easy it is to ad-
Just your differences if there is a
desire to be fair and just! Now,
what do we find? We see public
meetings held and DR.. Chancellor
speaking to the colored teachers,
showing that he has the most kinI-
ly feeling for them. The colored
teachers in return state that the
talks of the superintendent are very
beneficial to them. These useless
agitations result in more harm TO
our schools than anything else.
SECRETARY CORTELYOU
The protest OF white clerks in the
Supervising Architects Office, in
the Treasury Department, against
the colored draughtsman did not
amount to very much. Secretary
Cortelyou gave the white employees
to understand that the colored man
would not be disturbed. All that
the colored man wants is a show,
and he will convince his white com
petitors that he is equal to the oc-
casion.
The Bee congratulates Mr.. Cor
telvou for his manly stand in de-
fense of right and justice.
Secretary Cortelyou intends to
see that the colored employees in his
cffice will have a square deal.

SHAMS.

There are lots of shams in this
country, both among men and wo-
men. 1t is amusing to see so many
of these shams going from place to
place, making speeches, telling the
people how much they love them
and how much they think of them
and then if they meet them upon
the public streets they ignore them.
There are a great many shams
among colored people; and espe-
cially these so-called representatives
of the race.

Very truly yours,
Arthur w. Dolan,

Please note the last paragraph, by
which you will see there will be no
transfer of the monument to Virginia
and certainly not TO the Jim Crow
Annex" building. 1t is not a Jim
Crow monument.
The truth is the colored women of
this State would not allow any transfer,
to say nothing of the men. Any attempt
would lead to another massacre worse
than that of I775.
The Colored people here were stirred
to anger, as the following news item
from the Boston Post will show:
(Boston Post, March 20, 'o7)
The following letter of inquiry has
been addressed to Mayor Fitzgerald, and
somewhat similar one to Governor
Guild, by the presidents of the Boston
and New England Suffrage Leagues
with reference to transfer of the At
tucks monument to the separate Negro
exhibit at the Jamestown Exposition:
Hon John F. Fitzgerald, Mayor of the
City of Boston.
Sir: A bulletin from the Publicity
Bureau of the Jamestown NEGRO EX-
HIBIT, under the jamestown Ier-Cen-
tennial Commission, announces that
Mrs. a. H. Curtis, fiscal agent the
same colored woman who managed the
Jim-Crowing' of colored Americans at
the St. Louis Exposition, went TO Bis
ton this (lasD week to confer with
Mayor Fitzgerald and to CONCLUDE
ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE
TRANSFER OF the Crispus Attucks
monument on the Boston Common TO
THE EXPOSITION GROUNDS at
jamestown.
The bulletin further states that said
monument WILL OCCUPY a con-
spicuous place in front of the $4,000
NEGRO BUILDING
will you please inform me what ac-
ton, if any, your Honor has taken with
regard to the above matter, and wheth-
CT in case there is any truth in the above
assertion hearing may be had by those
who desire to protest against the use of
this sacred monument, representing, as
1t so conspicuously does, that human
brotherhood, oneness of citizenship and
the IGNORING OF RACE AND COL
OR which its chief protector, the late
lamented John Boyle O'Reilly, stood
for so nobly, in connection with a
movement which CONSCIOUSLY
REPRESENTS SEGREGATION of
Colored Americans because of race and
color, in what should be pre-eminently
a national undertaking, aided by the
federal government?

Dear Editor Chase
| notice that on your editorial page
you have this item: The Crispus At
tucks monument on the Boston Com
mon will be transferred to the ExposI-
ton grounds at Jamestown This IS
untrue 1t is one of the falsehoods put
out by R w Thompson, Booker Wash
ington's staff correspondent" who has
gotten the job of press booster. Here
is the letter of Mayor Fitzgerald in an
swer to the protest of colored Boston:
City of Boston,
Office of the Mayor, March zI, 1907.
William H. Scott, Esq,
William Munroe Trotter, Esq, 3 Tre-
mont Row.
Dear Sirs: / am directed by His
Honor the Mayor to acknowledge the
receipt Of your communication of the
10Th inst, concerning the alleged trans
fer of the Crispus Attucks monument
on Boston Common to the Exposition
grounds at Jamestown. The Mayor di
rects me to say that at the request OF
United States Senator Lodge in Febru-
ary of this year permission was granted
10 the Exposition Committee to repro
duce the Crispus Attucks monument at
the Jamestown Exposition. To that
end the Superintendent of Public
Grounds was instructed to allow the re-
production of the monument and a per-
NIT was issued by the Mayor to sketch
the same.
No authority has been or will be Civ
en- to transfer the monument itself to
the Exposition.

NEEDS OF The TOWN.

All signs point to the fact that
Stafford is TO become q very impor
tant commercial center in the not
far distant future. The mines in
the surrounding country are stead
lily increasing in number and pro-
ductivity and the agricultural and
lumber interests are assuming vast
proportions. Stafford is the nat
ural center for large area of fer
tile country and will soon be on
the man line of both the Santa
Fe and Southern Pacific With
proper effort this can be made
great industrial, commercial and
residence headquarters.
One of the chief needs OF the
town is an adequate water supply.
With characteristic enterprise JUS
tice Fonda is endeavorfng this
week to promote a company to
pipe water from the arteslan belt.
Other gentlemen claim tha. a sut-
ficient supply can be acquired on
Mt. Graham. These are PROPOSE
tions that should be inquired into
and decided upon, after which
steps should be taken to furnish
large and steady supply of pure
water to both the business aud
residence sections. This would
promote the public health, reduce
the fire insurance rate, be an in
viting feature to prospective resi-
dents, and also be paying invest
ment.

possibilities of a music play struck

ceeded at once to work out the le-

for his scenes the old toy shop of
Nuremberg, and drawing on the
quaint assortment of toymakers
and villagers for his characters.
