THE POPE CASE

At its annual meeting at Harper's
Ferry, W. Va, last August the Niagara
Movement assumed the expense of de-
Tending Miss Barbara E. Pope who, as
"a passenger on the Southern Railway
between Washington, D. c., and Paeon-
ian Springs, Va, had been arrested for
alleged violation of the Virginia sepa-
arte car law The municipal court of
Falls Church, Va. fined Miss Pope ten
dollars, and an appeal was taken to the
circuit court of Alexandra County, Va,
where a jury trial was had October 2I
and p, 1906 The trial resulted in a
conviction, and another appeal was noted
to the Supreme Court OF Virginia When
the record reached that court the Attor-
ney General of the State adopted the
unusual method of confessing error /;
and the case was returned to the circuit
court of Alexandria County, Va, with
instructions to dismiss the case against
Miss Pope and to remit the fine. By

passing upon the validity of the sepa-
rate car law of its own legislature. This
was in effect a victory for the Niagara
Movement.
On the dismissal of the criminal charge
against Miss Pope, civil action was in
stituted in the Supreme Court of the
District of Columbia against the South
ern Railway Company for $4,000. The
case came to trial June 3, and resulted
in a verdict of one cent for Miss Pope.
While the damages are insignificant, the
charge Of the judge and the verdict Of
the jury mean that the Virginia sepa-
rate car law does not apply to interstate
passengers. The Niagara Movement has
thus achieved a signal victory; but be-
cause the damages awarded by the jury
were no proportioned to the indignity
and suffering caused to Miss Pope, the
case has been appealed.

stands today for human rights. He be-
lieves in a square deal" indeed and in
fact. He has demonstrated his power
in defense of those who have fought in
pitched battles to save this republic.
Duty tells us to stand by this man no
matter what may come. A man who
discriminates against one class of citi-
zens for another is unfit to be the Pres
ident of the United States. 1t is true
that we live in a republic. 1t is also
true that we have but one flag, but that
flag only protects a certain portion Of
its citizens. How can this republic con-
tinue to exist? 1t is true that our re-
public has a constitution, but it is dis
regarded in every particular. A con-
stitution that doesn't protect is worth
less in republic like ours. A Presi-
dent should enforce the constitution when
he sees that it is being violated.
The question is now, Shall we continue
to be the "hewers of wood and the
drawers OF water? Shall we continue to
be the serfs and slaves for political par
ties?
Shall we sit idle and see our brave
soldiers dismissed in disgrace for no
offense whatever? Shall we by our
votes re-elect this man TO the same Of
fee? II you believe in manhood rights
BY all means show it. If you believe
in equality of citizenship show it We
should rise or fall with our friends. 1t
Is our plain duty to see that every col
ored American who has a vote should
cast it for the Senator from Ohio, Hon.
J. B. Foraker 1t IS also our duty to
support no man who believes in the pol
icy of the present administration, no
matter who be may be.
The speech of the Speaker OF the
House of Representatives, delivered IN
the South, should not soon be forgotten.
If there are any colored voters in his
district, they should remember that
vote against his reelection would be a
gentle reminder.
We might as well act now. Delays
are dangerous. In every department of
the government colored Americans are
against We have no re-
dress. Our complaints no longer appeal
to the judgment of reasonable men. We
should not be hasty in pledging our
support to parties. Let us consider men.

PITTAIAN WINS AGAIN.

The Bee some few weeks ago pub
lished the proceedings Of the executive
meeting of the Young Mems Christian
Association, relative to allowing a col
ored architect TO draw the plans of the
new y. NC. A. building. The com
mittee was called together a few weeks
ago and unanimously voted to give the
contract to Mr., W. Sidney Pittman,
who drew the plans for the Negro
building for the jamestown Exposition
Mr.. Pittman won his fame and popu-
larity as an architect by industry and
perseverance. So we'll pleased was the
committee with the work of Mr.. Pitt
man that he was not asked to enter into
competition with anyone He will not
only draw the plans but he will supervise

No BIG HEAD.

When Commissioner West appointed
Mr. Louis c. Wilson, formerly his priv
ate secretary, to the position of Assist
ant Assessor, he made no mistake. Mr..
Wilson is an accomplished official and a
young man who is bound to succeed
because he knows no man by the color
of his skin on the positioa he holds.
He IS never too busy to give the patrons
of his Office satisfaction when they call.
He is no doubt one Of the most popular
officials in the assessors office. He is
bound to go upward and onward. The
Bee congratulates him.

OPEN LETTER
10 the Colored Americans of the Unit
ed States.

To the Colored Americans of the Unit
ed States.
Fellow Citizens The time has now
come for every colOred American to be
loyal and true to himself. You art. no
doubt aware that we have been betrayed
by those in whom we have cOnfded
since our emancipation. We have been
betrayed by those no have pretended
friendship and today the combined forces
OF two political parties are crushing out,
politically out brethren' in the South.
The question is, Shall we continue to
follow blindly political parties corruptly
stamped Republicans? Or shall we seek
a party that believes in equality of citi-
zenship2 Our citizenship is denied us
and today we are political nonentities
in the South. 1t can be plainly seen
that the man who won by the united
votes of the colOred Americans is cater
ing to a sentiment that means political
as well as physical death to every col
Ored American. We can recognize in
one man elements of true leadership. He

along the different lines of domestic sci
ence. In a great many cases the ladies
who are interested in the school and its
great work send their help to Mrs. Clark
for special instructions along the line
which that particular girl is doing. So
great is the demand for domestics, that
Mrs. Clark has opened an Employment
Bureau for the public, so she can supply
her customers with any worthy young
lady who will apply to her with refer
ence showing her qualifications and char
acter.
Some one may attempt to criticise a
school which is training our girls for
domestic services, but it is fact, how
ever, that over 75 per cent of them are
ioing domestic work, and since this is a
The Washington bee., 1907-06-22

fact a school Of this kind is really a
necessity; for If We wish to dignity and
elevate the position of domestics. both
at home and in service. we must edu-
cate our girls along this line. because
the immigration OF domestics in this
country is thousands yearly. and if our
girls are not trained to keep pace with
this foreign element, We viii soon be
displaced by them. The average foreign
er can live on great deal less than
the average American.
The domestic problem IS almost a
matter Of self-preservation, for any class
OF people who make their living as do
mestics, should see TO it that they receive
sufficient training to hold their own.
At Mrs Clark's school she not only
trains them as domestics, but as teach
ers. instructors and housewives. A good
example of what some of the young
women are doing is Miss Blanche Gibson.
a graduate of the class OF 1905. She has
been teaching Domestic Science in the
public schools OF Goldsborough. N. c.,
with much success in the past year She
IS in Washington on her vacation. Mrs.
Clark was asked by Mrs. A. c. Barney,
wealthy society lady Of this city to
make and trim eighteen hats, so Mrs.
Clark gave this task TO this young lady
and she so pleased Mrs Barney with
the work that she gave the school and
this young lady an excellent recon-
mendation to many of the wealthy So
ciety ladies of this city, and Mrs. Clark
has had a large patronage from this
class. So interested has this class of
women been that they have given con-
certs and made many private donations
to this great work.
