HOWARD'S STRONG
FACULTY

The opening of the school term
of Howard University will be
greeted with a new and strong fac
ulty. DR.. Thirkield, the newly in
stalled president, intends to make
Howard University the equal of
any college in the United States
There has never been a man at the
head of this institution more in
terested in the work than DR.. Thir-
kield. In the first place he is an
honest man. In the second place
he has no prejudices whatever and,
lastly, he will not tolerate tattlers.
This institution has been infested
with this class of individuals,which
has been its greatest drawback.
The college law and medical de-
partments have been greatly
strengthened since DR.. Thirkield has
been at the head. The outlook for
this coming year is encouraging,
and there is no doubt that the stu
dents to those three departments
will be high-class men and women.
E
The medical department will be
unusually large this year, and so
far as the college department IS
concerned the new dean is a man
equal to any in Amherst, Yale or
Harvard. There will be a reorgan-
ization Of this department.
GRAND MASTER HOUSTON.
For some unknown reason, Grand
Master Houston, states our special
correspondent, denounced The Bee
and its editor at the subcommittee of
management in Philadelphia, Pa, last
week.
Just why the young and ambitious
man should be guilty of such indiscre-
ton The Bee is unable to state. Be-
cause the editor has been the gentle
mans friend ever since he has been
in the city and certainly he has been
treated more fairly than any person
The Bee has dealt with for years.
Mr.. Houston stated this himself.
The editors correspondence will
show that he (Houston), instead of
being the smallest man in the Odd
Fellows order, would have been the
greatest, had the editors advice been
taken.
The many lawsuits which are to
follow and the expose that will be
made will convince the world the edi-
tor acted wisely, discreetly and fairly
with him.
This entire affair could have been
settled and the order saved from dis
grace and humiliation.
The Bee will give all the facts
from time to time from the records
of the court and from data in pos
session of The Bee.

STAND FIRM.
The end is not yet.

Whatever the results OF the cam
paign in Ohio may be, one fact IS
supremely evident. The Ohio voter
IS now experiencing the crucial test.
He IS called upon to choose between
his real and true friends and those
who only profess to be so. At no
time since Emancipation has the Ne
gro been called upon to demonstrate
his manhood. By nature and educa-
ton he has been taught to revere and
sustain, in so far as he could, the prin-
cipIes of the Republican party. He
has been instrumental in keeping in
its place the diadem of the republic.
And he will continue to be so, con-
ditions being favorable. But the Ne
gro will not be a party to wrong, to
Injustice, and will hurl back in no
uncertain manner the epithet of party
prostitution. He is favorable to a
square deal, " but recognizes no ter
ros in "the big stick, and however
may be the pressure and whatever may
be the consequences, he IS determin-
ed TO stick close 70 his ideals. And
he will vote to signalize his devotion
to best interests.
In Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Pennsyl-
vania and New York, where the col
ored vote IS a factor, he will do his
duty and do it well. The Negro vot-
er will calculate the square" as ap-
piled to him. He will make no mis-
takes. He knows the road in the
dark as in the light. Fox-fre and
tomfoolery cannot now encompass
him. He will consider, and consider
well, before he votes. And when he
embraces the glorious privilege of suf-
frage he will insist upon the charac-
ter as well as party designation, Of
the men for whose elevation he will
be called upon to endorse.
A long-tried and indubitable friend
has advised us to vote for no man
who is cautions enough to withhold
his true purposes. We favor the sug-
gestion and declare that we would
rather vote for an out-and-out enemy
of the race than to grope in darkness
relative to the friendship of a should
be friend. As has been suggested by
one in high authority, Cast your vote
for no man, Republican or Democrat,
who cannot afford to commit him
self to use his utmost endeavorS to
annul "Jim Crow" car laws and seek
to give every man, white or black,
the value of his hard-earned money.
Says a true and tried friend, vote fer
no man in whose honesty you cannot
confde.
Iti is reported that Ohio and the
pivotal States will heed the "signs
of the times" and cut, and cut deeply
if necessary.

ODD FELLOWS DISRUPTION

ODD FELLOWS DISRUPI ION
1t was in the power of the sub
committee Of management of the
Grand United Order of Odd Fellows
to have avoided this disruption. The
alleged charges against Messrs. Da-
Wis and Howe were subterfuges and
without foundation. On the other
hand this committee was made aware
of the bribery and deal that had been
entered into to subsidize Mr.. Knox
of Alabama, which was sufficient in
itself to have vindicated him and
Grand Master Howe, of Alabama,
and sustain the contention and dis
senting opinion of Editor Davis, of
the Atlanta Independent.
Grand Master Houston, The Bee
IS informed, went out of his way to
attack The Bee and its editor. The
Bee has always sustained this young
man and supported his ambitious de-
signs. Mr.. Houston was aware that
the contention was made by the Ala
bama and Georgia contingent and
greed to repudiate a man by the name
of Johnson, if the check, contract,
telegrams, ETC., were presented to the
subcommittee. All of those facts
were placed before the subcommittee
of management and put in the hands
of the Grand Master, who declared
that he would have nothing to do
with the accused parties.
The North, or many in that sec
tion,are of the opinion that the South
ern Odd Fellows are ignorant and
unfit to rule. No charge is more II
diculous and false. Some of the most
allented men in this great organiza-
ton come from the South.
The next B. NJ. c. will witness
one of the greatest revolutions that
has ever occurred in this order. The
South will remain the headquarters
to this city, and men will be placed
at the head of the order who have
sense and brains.
1t was stated that The Bee was a
meddler because it exposed the il
legal acts that were committed. A
newspaper IS a medium through which
the people receive information, and
it is not necessary for a paper to be
the organ of any institution, because
then the people will not get the true
facts.
The most impudent act of this sub
committee was when it cited Editor
Asbury of the Odd Fellows Journal,
to appear before it and be rebuked be-
cause he published the dissenting
opinion of Editor Davis, of the At
lanta (Ga) independent. Editor
Davis, when he appeared before the
subcommittee, was requested to re-
tract his publication. He manfully
declined, and before this arbitrary
court could carry its order into effect
a rule frora the Common Pleas Court
was served on If.
This sub committee will have

EDITOR FORTUNE.

The Bees esteemed contemporary
the New York Age, is Of the Opin-
ion that The Bee has bile on the
brain. Editor Fortune IS angry
with himself, and when he has
these sudden fits he IS eXcusable
because he is not responsible for
these sudden flights. The Bee wa;
informed that Editor Fortune, BY
virtue of his changeabIe editorial
attitude, the powers behind The
Age had made him an advisory cd
itor. However, The Bee is pleased
to know that Editor Fortune con
tinues to be the editor Of The Age
Notwithstanding the change in his
religious convictions.

FORAKER THE DEFENDER.

FORAKER THE DEFENDER.
There are times in governments
when men are needed. There are
times when honest men should be
at the helm of the "Ship of State. !"
If there ever was a time in the his
tory Of this republic that a man like
Senator Foraker was needed it is
now. At no time in the history
Of the American people is there a
greater demand for a man like Sen
ator Foraker than now.
Eleven millions of colored Am
ericans owe it to themselves to make
personal sacrifices to uphold the
hands of Americas greatest states
man and defender of human rights.
Men who have views and dare
not express them are unfit to be
counted in as the representatives of
this republic Secretary Taft is the
candidate of the Administration
for the Presidency. Mr.. Taft may
have been all right before he en-
tered the Cabinet. He has become
intoxicated with Southern prejudice
and the policies of the present Ad-
ministration, which make him un-
fit to be placed at the head of this
government.

John D Rockefeller has made a
gift Of thirtytwo million dollars to
the General Educational Board, for
general educational purposes
throughout the country. making
s43, 10000 which he has con
trbuted to this fund. The General
Educational Board is an institution
chartered by Congress to receive do
nations of this kind from any quar-
ter offered and to dispose of II to the
best advantage in the interest Of
education, a subject which that
body has constantly under consider
alton. The revenue is distributed
among the several colleges and SEM
inaries Of the country, who are to
use only the income, the principal
being retained as permanent endow-
ment. The gift Of Mr.. Rockefeller
was a surprise to the members Of
the board, who had received no in
formation in advance, and was ac-
cepted with gratitude. This is one
instance in which the donor should
omit his custom Of advancing the
price Of oil in order to recoup the
amount
