NEGRO JOURNALISM.

Journalism among colored Amer
leans, such as it IS, is not what It
should be. Colored editors, ike the
people they represent, are inhuenc-
ed by sentiment. There is but little
or no stability among colored edi-
tors. OF course there are a few
honorable exceptions, and a very
few. There has been some agita-
ton about establishing a daily
press. The colored people should
first support a weekly before they
talk about establishing a daily. At
least nine-tenths of the colored ed
itors of this country have no
thoughts of their own. If they
have an opinion they are afraid to
express it. Many of them want
Office, or live in the hope of getting
one some day.

SENTIMENTALITY.

There IS a great deal of sentiment
among the colored people. They
seem to be controlled by sentiment.
When Mrs. Mussey undertook to
defend Professor Cardozo, the col
ored people began to give her an
ovation. They went so far as to
invite her to address the Bethel Lit
erary. The Bee wants the cOlOred
people to understand that Mrs.
Mussey is a friend to the colored
people when they do right, and no
more. The colored people should
understand that they need not come
to the conclusion that Mrs. Mussey
IS any more Of a friend to them
than any other member OF the
Board Of Education. If teachers
are right they will be fairly treat
ed. There may be one colored
member of the Board of Education
whose resignation the people will
no doubt demand. The Bee gives
notice now that no teacher should
be recommended for dismissal be-
cause some colored member has a
personal grievance against him.

COL. CHARLES G. AYRES.

1t will be remembered that it was
the distinguished wife of Col. Charles
@. AyreS who entertained the famous
Tenth Cavalry, coIored, in this city
several years ago. Colonel Ayres has
always had the opposition and enmity
of the War Department. Before
President Roosevelt was made Presi-
dent of the United States he recon-
mended Colonel Ayres to the posi-
tion of brigadier-general in the army.
But after he was made President he
never could find it convenient TO ap-
point him. The country IS with Col
Onel Ayres and his most distinguished
wife.

ASSISTANT REGISTER AID
ANS RACE IDENTITY.

There appeared in the Washington
Post and the New York Times of
June II an article in relation to
the rejection of the application of
William WilkersOn. a CGlored man,
for membership in the Washington
Philatetic Society, of which Cyrus
Field Adams, assistant Register of
the Treasury, IS president. The ac-
counts in the daily papers were mis-
taken in stating that the application
rejected was that of Prof. Garnet G..
Wilkinson. Professor Wilkinson and
Mr.. WilkerSon both live in that por-
ton of the District across the East
ern Branch, hence the mistake. The
members of the Washington PhiIa-
tetic Society are white men, with
the exception Of Mr.. Adams, who is
colored. though the other members Of
the society stoutly maintain that they
always thought Mr.. Adams was a
white man. The rejection of the ap-
plication of William Wilkerson for
membership gives weight to this
statement Of the other members; for
it stands to reason that a society Of
white men would not knowingly elect
a negro president Of their organiza-
ton, when they would not knowingly
elect one to simple membership.
There are two accounts of Mr.. Ad-
ans attitude toward Wilkerson's ap-
plication. Most of the members seen
state Mr.. Adams voted against VIII
kerson; one member states that Ad-
ans said he thought Wilkerson ought
to be admitted. 1t IS said, however,
that the minutes of the society show
that the vote for rejection was unan-
imous, vote being taken by ballot.
As an editor of a Negro paper, as
the president OF a Negro press asso-
ciation,, as a member of a Negro bus
iness league, as an officer of an or
ganization agitating for civil and po-
litical equality, and as an officer of
the Federal Government, holding his
office as a Negro, and in recognition
of the party tealty of the Negroes of
Illinois, Mr.. Adams owes a full and
complete explanation of his attitude
toward Wilkerson's application, and
his own membership in the Washing
ton Philatetic Association.
The editor of The Bee is not inter
ested in getting Mr.. Adams out of his
job, and has never thought of such
a thing.
The editor of the Cleveland Ga
zette is a liar-will he believe it?
The editor of The Bee intended to
say nothing, but since an Ohioan
ancient officerseeker and blue-vein
agitatOr has made an unjust and an
unwarrantable charge, ,TheBee must
say something. No man has drawn
the color line in Cleveland, Ohio,
more than this disgruntled and
fierce agitator, Harry c. Smith, OF
the Cleveland (Ohio) Gazette. The
Bee has no fight to make on Dep
utv Register Adams, and he knows
it. The Bee has never spoken an
untruth, Notwithstanding the mis-
carriage of justice by perjured tes-
timony. Mr.. Adams is a member
Of this organization; the name of
Wilkinson was offered for member
ship, but rejected. Mr.. Adams in
formed The Bee that he voted for
him; the secretary, so The Bee is
informed, stated that he did not. |
1t is a question of veracity between |
Mr.. Adams and the white secre-
tary.

Third. Mrs. Davis comes from a

and has no influence whatever in church

other statements contained in the article
I submit the following declarations from
Mr.. J. o. Thompson and VIM. H
Kicks:
An article appeared in the issue OF
The Bee of June 8 signed by us and
entitled Rev. Wallace Not Removed
In that article, signed by us, we stated
that Mrs Davis Literary Society con-
sisted Of herself and two other members
of her family only.
1T further stated that the trustees re-
fused them the use of the church because
they had no following; that Mrs Davis
came from a well-known family in South
Washington and had no influence IN
church circles. Since our attention has
been called to the matter we have thor
oughly Investigated it, and find that we
are in error in stating that the trustees
had refused her he use of the church,
etc. We further state that we intended
no reflection upon Mrs. Davis and her
family, and we know nothing Of them
other than people of the highest respeC-
liability. We know nothing OF the fol-
lowing she has as we have never attend
ed any Of the meetings. The article
published in your editorial OF June l.

Are You Tired, Nervous

Nervousness and sleeplessness are u.s.
ually due to the fact that the nerves are
not fed on properly nourishing blood;
they are stdl'ped nerves. Dr., Pierce's

properly nourshed and all the organs OF

crease in vitality and health are lasting.
The trouble with most tonicS and med
fcines which have large, booming sale
