carried back to the days Of Douglass,

There Is a charm-a something in
dehnable in Mr.. Nernon's dictiOn
that even these great orators did not
possess. He handled his subject in a
mastery manner and demonstrated
his matchlesS power as an orator. as
well as a great scholar and thinker.
He IS no trimmer. no COmprOmiser
when the rights Of his race are in

fellows, who measures up to a Doug

Coming from Kansas where he has
breathed the air OF absolute freedom

LYING LIKE DOGS.
10 The Seattle ReDub1fcan.

From the Seattle Republican.
The Negro press throughout the
country is almost a unit in rs fierce
denunciation Of Prof Booker T.Wash-
ingon, and !, has only an excuse for
50 doing Professor Washington's 5
preaching Of peace between the whites
and the blacks Of the United States.
What strange freaks come over an op-
pressed people. Like the human be-
iHgs who suddenly lose q sound mind.
their best and closest friends become
their most deadly enemies. Professor
Washington may see the settling Of the
race troubles in this country from a
different viewpoint than an 0verwhelm-
ing majority OF the other members Of
his race. nevertheless he sees il as he
does see IL. and Is entitled 70 his view
Ioiat withOat being yillihed BY ms
brethren or anyone else But from
whatever viewpoint he may see It,
whether ii the main right OF wrong,
every act and every move that has been
made by Booker T. Washington seems
TO have been done with no other pur-
pose than the gaining of a new fo0thold
for the black man. Grant he has to
an extent truekIed 10 Southern white
sentiment as TO the t1aCk man, still
in trucking TO that sentiment he has
been able 70 place black artisans IN
positions they negef would have 9th
errise been able 10 have attained had
not Booker Washington vouched for
them. There Is an anu-Negro feeling
among the whites all over the United
States, and al some places more pro
nounced than At others; therefore, with
This feeling prevalent everywhere, the
black man has two courses TO pursue
in order to succeed. First pick up bag
and baggage and 90 TO some other
country, which Is either uninhabited or
inhabited only by black folk with whom
they can soon assimilata Secondly,
remain in the United States and use
diplomacy-that Is, make haste slUwly
just as Booker T. Washington Is
teaching. But whether 60 or stay, there
IS no justihcntion IN Negro editors
eternally holding up Booker I. Wash
ington as an enemy and d traitor 10
the black folk Of the United States,
when they know they are simply lying
like dogs and deCeiving the public.

crag 10 give their vo-es 10 the Lodge
resolution. II is a coWzrdly surren-
der Of rhe civil and political rights OF
the colOred Americans. WHAT more
can the Southern Democrats ask:
No Democratic President would be
guilty Of un1zirness 70 any Of his
citizens. The coLored Americans have
expected better treatment Al the hands
Of their Chief Executive. The pass
.ng of rhe Lodge resolution means q
tain the unconstitutional act OF the
Chief Executive. The South will
come 70 the aid OF the administra-
ton. The South says that the Re
publican President gives everything
Tor which she asks. Why not sus-
tain The unconstitutional act OF the
administration The colored Amer-
caBs can hope for no protection from
the present administration and they
are justifcd in defeating, if possible
any man uho may be named By the
administration !of Presidential hon
ors. The Bee fed. proud OF the pre-
diction It made several years ago.
If the cgIorsd voters Of the country
mad needed the advice Of The Bee
Mr.. Roosevelt would not have been
the Chief Executive Of this republic.
Let not the colored Americans de-
pair. There IS a day Of reckoning. 1t
Is not far atf. Mr.. Roosevelt has dis
appointed those faithful black allies
who stood by him. He has been uh-
grateful TO those who don't deserve
what they have received. Mr., Lodge
Of Massachusetts, and Mr.. Spooner Of
Wisconsin will feel the effect OF their
action in the Senate. The colored
Americans will not depend alone on
their own votes. The Bee feels con-
fdent that there are enough white
Americans in this country who will
Join the forces OF the colored Amer
leans and defeat any act that may
seem unjust and improper. If the
President IS justified in removing,
without trial. the colored soldiers OF
the 18th infantry, why does he fear
an Investigation? Why should hor-
est men fear the light2 The Senator
from Massachusetts, Is being used as a
cats paw TO pull chestnuts out Of the
fire for the administration. Senator
Spooner doesn't want 10 lose the pa
tronage Of his State. While he may
now retain the confidence and respect
of the administration he will lose the
votes in his State. The Bee advises
all loyal and patriotic voters OF Mass
acbusetts and Wisconsin 70 cast their
votes for men and not party. The
time has come for action. Roosevelt
pleases the South.
