START PAPER PROBE.
Department Of Justice Seeking to De.
termine If Agreement Exists.

Washington, Sept. 21.-The depart
ment of justice is camping on the
trail of the alleged newspaper com
bine. 1t has been doing so for the
past six or eight weeks. Before
the first of the year a complete re-
port win be laid before the attor-
ney general of the United States,
setting forth all obtainable facts, and
1t will be for him to decide whether
there is a trust in operation and
whether or not 1t is violating federal
laws and can be reached by prosecu-
ton by his department.
The facts in this connection were
learned Thursday when attention was
drawn to the resolution adopted by
the American Newspaper Publishers
association in New York city, alleging
the existence OF a trust which was
boosting the price of white paper and
calling upon the department of jus
tice to prosecute the alleged combina-
ton.

trial of William d. Haywood and for
whose arrest a reward was offered by

LoNowoRTH's DUST RUSSIANS.
Pullman Conductor compeIs Foreiqn-
ers to Give Up Drawing Room.

Flagstaff, Ariz., Sept. 21.-Consid-
cradle excitement was caused on a
Pullman car when two wealthy Rus
SLAMS were compelled to vacate the
drawing room for Congressman and
Mrs. Longworth, who boarded a train
at Grand Canon for Cincinnati.
Mr.. and Mrs, Longworth have just
returned from Honolulu and are hurry
ing to Cincinnati in order that Mr..
Longwoth may talk over the propo-
sition of the republican party to run
him for mayor of his home city. They
had spent the day at Grand Canon
with Mr.. and Mrs. Charles F. Joy of
st. Louis.
The sleeping car agent informed
them that there was but one draw
ing room on the Pullman and that this
was occupied by two Russians. The
presidents daughter and her husband
wished the drawing room that they
might avoid the attention of other
passengers on the trip. The conductor
was called into consultation and de-
cided that the Russians should va
cate the compartment.
The Foreigners protested angrily
and created an uproar. Finally, how
ever, their baggage was moved out
and they were compelled to be CON
tent with ordinary berths.
The train was delayed because of
the controversy for several minutes.

CHIEF CLERK KEMP.

1t is to be regretted that Chief
Clerk Kemp should desert his post
of duty that he has so honOrably
filled for twenty-five years or more
in the Police Department. The Bee
will not condemn Mr.. Kemp and
neither will it be so uncharitable as
accuse him of wrongdoing, because
it may turn out that he will make
the amend honorable. Mr.. Kemp
has been the trusted chief of Major
Richard Sylvester, Chief of Police,
who has always been known to do
his duty without fear or favor. The
Bee syrnpathizes with the Chief of
Police because there has been moth
ing that has shocked that depart
ment more than tho present affair.
in view of the fact that Major Syl-
vester has done all in his power to
have a model department and to
have none but men in his depart
ment and on the police force. II
any of his trusted men go wrong
it is not his fault. He knows no man
by the color of his skin or the curl
of his hair. Men must be above
suspicion when they pass the Chief
of Police. The Bee will say that
Mr.. Kemp should not have embar-
rassed his chief. He could have
gone to his friends who were nu-
merous and borrowed all the money
he needed,
There was no man in the Police
Department more liked and more
highly honored than Mr.. Kemp
There has never been a man ir
whom the Chief of Police hac

He was loved by every member OF
the police force and respected by
the people and all who came in con
tact with him. Let us be charita-
bic; let us be merciful as well as

and confidence Of the community

CAPTAIN OYSTER.

The election of Capt. James F.
Oyster as president of the Board
of Education is a deserving COM
pliment of a worthy man. Capt.
Oyster is we'll qualified for the po-
sition because he has the interest of
the schools at heart. The Bee has
always maintaiped that Captain
Oyster, when understood, is a man
on whom you may depend. He is
not identified with any faction OF
clique but is always for the right
and believes in giving teachers fair
play. The Bee and the people con-
graduate you, Captain, and wish
you success in your new and ele-
waited position.

enormously to the ever increasing
wealth of this nation and the Negro
bread winner is bearing his or her
share of the burden of the white
man," as we'll as his own, in the
form of taxation, with but appar-
entity Intellectual representation in
all cases and with but little or none
in others.
Under these circumstances It
would apparently be but the part Of
wisdom for the Negro voter to eX-
anime honestly and critically the
principles of the parties that solicit
his assistance in the future, and he
should try to select that party
which will give him the greatest
opportunity TO better his condition
physically, as we'll as morally, men
tally and spiritually. With the door
of opportunity as wide open for
each worker, black or white, mental
or manual, as for each and every
other worker, we would soon hear
less discussion of the question of
social equality. But SO long as the
worker can only toll by the con-
sent of and upon the conditions
improved by another he is forced
into a position of inequality, socially
as we'll of financially, and to that
extent, fails to be the free man that
is guaranteed to be his right under
our present form of government.
For years the Socialist party has
been proclaiming in its platforms
and by its literature that its princi-
pies are founded upon the absolute
equality of opportunity for all, re
gardless of race, sex, creed, or pre-
vious condition of servitude. If
that be true and if it is possible to
incorporate such principles in our
laws, the Negro race as well as the
white would surely be benefited.
1t is true that serious objections
have been urged against those theo-
ries, but the Socialists invite the
most searching investigation and
examination, and as many Negro
voters are apparently thinking seri-
Ously of making a change in their
party relations it would seem to be
but the part of prudence for them
to hear both side of this question
before casting their ballots. Ignor-
ance is bliss only where it is folly
to be wise, and surely such is not
the case when a man is deciding
not only his own welfare but of
those who are depending upon him
for their SuStenanCe.

ODD FELLOWS IN REBEL
LION.

LlAJANs
Elsewhere in The Bee this week
will be read with interest, by the.
Odd Fellows Of America, the dis
senting opinion of Editor B. J. Da-
Wis Of the Atlanta, Ga, Indepen-
dent and no doubt the most bril-
liant Editor in the South, and an
organizer of great ability. Editor
Davis is the Grand Treasurer of
the Grand United Order of Odd
Fellows in America and Editor of
the Atlanta, Ga, Independent, a
paper that wields more influence in
the South, among secret orders and
his people, than perhaps any paper
edited by COlOred men. 1t IS to be
regretted that there should be any
dissension among the Odd Fellows
of America, because the organiza-
ton is one of the strongest in the
world and one of the most bene-
fetal. The Bee can see in the near
future a diSorganized organization,
if the Board of Directors should
arbitrarily decide in favor Of the
Johnson wing of that organization
against Editor B. J. Davis and Mr..
c. A. Howe, who represents the
District Grand Lodge of Alabama.
The contention of Editor Davis
seems to be the more plausible and
equitable and an-adverse decision,
from The Bees standpoint means
utter destruction of the greatest or
ganization in the United States, so
far as colored Odd Fellows are con-
cerned. 1t is unfortunate, to say
the least, that a disSension should
arise in the order. If what Editor
Davis states be true, the Executive
Board of the order or a majority
of that Board committed a great
blunder. 1t was Editor Davis pre-
rogative to render a dissenting opin-
ion, and as he legally asserts, what
right or power has any one to cite
him for contempt? In the opinion
of The Bee this is going a little too
far and any act looking to the ex-
pulsion of that member cannot but
end in a dissolution of the organi-
cation. The Bee is a firm believer
in the National Grand Master of
the order, and it hopes that no dras-
tic measures will be taken that will
disrupt the organization. Two hun
dred thousand or more Odd Fellows
in the South will await the decision
of the Board of Directors that will
convene in the city of Philadelphia
Monday, July r.
The Bee believes that National
Grand Master Houston has been
imposed upon. 1t is the sincere
hope of The Bee that the fight
against Editor Davis and the Ala
bama National Grand Lodge is not
personal. 1t is hoped that National
Grand Master Houston will unite
the order. Any other action will
be a calamity to the order in which
thousands will suffer. Not only
will it be a destruction to the prop
erty of the order but thousands of
widows and orphans will suffer.
