COURT LOAFERS.

There can be seen in and around
the Police Court daily loafers who
are no more than vagrants. Judge
kimball some time ago found one
OF them guilty OF vagrancy and
sentenced him to the workhouse for
six months or give bonds in the
sum Of FIVE hundred dollars. There
are others who continue to loaf in
and around the Police Court who
have no visible means of support
who should be sent down on the
farm to work. This class of indi-
viduals is a menace to society. The
color of a mans skin should not
be a bar for his arrest, no matter
if he has been at one time connect
ed with the department OF the local

be they white or black, and they
should be made to work.

The world was no more made
for Caesar than it is for the white

as much right to remain in this

OF what great crime has the color

It is a shame the manner in which

DR. WASHINGTON AT
JAMESTOWN.

The address of DR.. Booker T.
Washington at Jamestown, Va, last
Saturday afternoon, on the occa-
sion of the Negro Day, was a
masterpiece of oratory. His ad-
dress was full of common sense,
and was manly and eloquent. His
uterances were logical, pointed and
forceful. Certainly no one can
take exception to this address. II
his speech is accepted in the same
manner it was delivered, the race
should certainly be benefited.
DR.. Washington continues to
have hopes in the South. He con
tinues to believe that both races
will be able to live together in har
mony and happiness.
The Bee sympathizes with his
struggles and his labor to uplift
his people. The Bee is free to ad-
NIT that DR.. Washington's oppo-
sition, from the representatives OF
his race, has been caused by the
pigmies which surround him. He
has made the mistake of having
narrow, contracted advisers, men
who are selfish, mean and deceit
full. These pigmies have misrep-
resented men to him, men who are
able to advise him correctly and jul
diciously.
The grafters have Deen holding
out their hands, ready and willing
to devour him and only follow him
beause they hope to be rewarded
financially and with an office. Per
haps he viii. if he has not already
realized the absolute necessity in
having about him men of, influence
and standing. The demagogues
who have followed him for years can
only be found when their pockets
are low or empty. Let me have
men about that are fit. There is
Cassius; he has a lean and hun
CRY look" remarked Caesar, when
a conspiracy was about to be in
stigated against him.
The Bee believes that Dr.Wash-
ington has a good heart. He means
well; but these hungry conspira-
tors have been hanging around him,
not willing to devour or destroy
him, but those who would be of
service to him.
The Bee would advise him to
shake off these tadpoles and leeches
and have around him as his advis-
ers men-not the trimmer, not the
apologist, but men who have prin-
ciples and the representatives of
principles and manhood rights.
The Bee this week prints a few
excerpts Of his speech which it de
sires the readers of The Bee to
digest.

AUDITOR TYLER COMMENDED.
Editor The Bee:

AUDITOR TYLER COMMENDED.
Editor The Bee:
Your mention of the democratic act Of
Hon. R. w. Tyler, auditor for the Navy
Department in visiting in an unassum-
ed manner one of the humble charitable
institutions Of this cly, and manifesting
an interest in .the institution, and the
favorable comment you made thereon,
were indeed timely.
From the most reliable sources comes
the information that Mr.. Tyler has en-
ployed the most modern business
methods in the conduct Of the affairs
Of his Office. He demands the fullest
performance of duty assigned, yet with
courtesy he treats all Of his subordi-
mates alike, irrespective of color or con-
dition. All say he fills the official bill
In the social world his acts are a
composition Of rigid, discreet democ-
racy.
Another pleasing comment appeared
in your paper recently. 1t was the splen-
did tribute paid Ex-Governor George
w. Atkinson, of West Virginia. now
Judge of the Un.te} States Court OF
Claims. The judge stands for all the
noble things you mentioned, and more.
AS he is graduate of my alma mater.
Howard University Law School, any ex-
preston of praise for him l attribute
to his splendid ability and appropriate il
to my pleasure. Any person connected
with the great Howard university, OF
has been connected with it in any way,
whether as manager, instructor or stu
dent is held in the highest esteem BY
me.
Ii the head OF Howard University IS
not nan Of God and in the control
Of righteousness there is small hope for
the masses.
Mr.. Editor, an able young man ex-
planned to me not long ago his reasons
for admiring you. He says. if you are
friend to an individual you are loyal,
not, however, overlooking faults; and ii
you oppose one you can be found at
a moss-coyered stand with goods the
price of which is plainly marked-an
enyiabIe and rare characteristic, which
IS not easy Of acquisition.

and larger profits from their em-
ployees, it is only question Of time
until there must be a clash. In
Idaho the two forces have been
drawn into actual conflict for
longer time and to a greater extent
than in any part Of the country, and
the Haywood trial has been the re-
suit. Each side to the conflict has
marshaled its forces and struck its
mightiest blow, with the result that
labor has come oft victorious.
From this time forward union
labor will become more and more
aggressive, and it will enter more
vigorously into the political field;
but it will espouse the cause of So
cialism instead of supporting either
of the two old parties, for it is be-
ing rapidly schooled by the thou
sands OF tons Of Socialistic litera-
ture that are being spread over the
country that, so far as the real in
terests of the laborer are concern
ed, neither one of the old parties
can benefit him and the capitalist
at the same time.
Now that Haywood has been re-
leased and Meyer and Pettibone
soon will be, they will go forth
preaching Socialism to thousands
who will go to hear them who
could not have been induced to have
Stened to the subject before the
trial. This must necessarily result
m the conversion of many, and
thus the efforts of the capitalists to
crush the movement by securing the
conviction Of the three men will
only act as a boomerang and injure
their own cause.
Heretofore the real struggle has
been concealed as much as possible,
but from this time forward the
fight must take place more and
more in the open.

HAYWOOD'S ACQUITTAL.

HAYWOOD'S ACQUITTAL.
The verdict in the Haywood case
that has just been rendered in Ida
no is one of the most important
events that has eyer occurred in
the labor movement in the world.
1t is to the present condition, or
wage slavery, what the Dred Scott
decision was to chatel slavery, that
is, it marks one Of the great turn
ing points in the struggle for free
dom.
Although the fight was ostensi-
bly, made by the State against Hay
wood as an Individual, it was in
reality a battle of capitalism against
union labor, waged through the
State officials against the Western
Federation of Miners through Hay
wood as its secretary and Meyer
its president. This fact was clear
ly brought out by the evidence that
was introduced by both parties and
by the means that were apparently
employed by the prosecution to Sc
cure a packed jury by carefully ex-
cluding all wakeworkers from the
Venire.
The capitalists OF the world rec
ognize in the Socialist party a move
ment that meaus what abolition
ism meant to sIavery-''no cOmprO-
mise" - and, therefore, they are
making the fight of their lives to
try and crush it before it becomes
big enough to crush them. They
know that so long as they can keep
possession Of the means of produc-
tion and transportation Of wealth
they can receive their interest, rents
or dividends, even though they may
be somewhat reduced by govern
ment control or regulation, yet that
is better than nothing at all, as
will he the condition under Social
ism.
A few years ago the Western
Federation of Miners declared in
favor of Socialism, and ever since
then the mine owners have been
trying harder than ever to destroy
the organization, and the death of
Steunenberg gave them an oppor-
tunity to try to do so by arrest
ing the chief officials on the charge
of conspiracy to murder.
In order to get possession of the
accused resort was had by State
officials to kidnapping upon perjur-
ed affidavits, and the men were seiZ-
ed at their homes late on Saturday
night and rushed into another State
without opportunity for them to de-
fend themselves by resort to the
courts, as is guaranteed to every
citizen. Appeal was taken to the
United States Supreme Court, but
it turned a deaf ear to the plea and
refused to give the men their rights
III decision that legalized kidnap-
ping. To further add to the bar
riers around the apparently doomed
men. President Roosevelt, in his
speech at the laying of the corner
stone of the office building of the
House of Representatives, on April
IA, 1900, referred to the men as
being implicated in murder, which
he tried to deny subsequently wher
he referred to them and others as
undesirable citizens" This at
tracted universal attention to the
case and gave to the trial a world
wide interest.
With the laborers constantly de-
manding more and more of the
wealth which they produce, and the
capitalists striving to secure larger

LAXITY OF THE PULPIT.
The pulpit as we'll as the press
may teach lessons that will benefit
the colored Americans.
The coIored Americans are com
planning OF Jim Crow" cars and
other jim Crow determinations,
but who is to blame?
For some time The Bee has
thought OF a remedy that may, to
some extent, eliminate Jim Crow
and other racial determinations:
In the first place, there is a IaAity
of the pulpit. The pulpit is in a
position to teach the congregation
many things that are practical in
street cars and other pubic convey
ances. The pulpit is in a position
to teach its congregation, or those
who belong to the laboring classes.
such as working in pits, sewers,
etc, when they leave their work
and take the cars, not to monopo-
lie front seats or places where per-
sons sit with their clean clothing.
but take seats in the extreme rear.
The pulpit should teach those
who cook and are compelled to miN
in grease and smoke not to leave
their employment without first hay-
ing taken a bath, so that when they
board a car they will be clean. smell
clean, and present a clean and tidy
The coiored citizen

those with whom tic comes il. con-
tact. 1t is an easy matter 10 keep
clean; it is an easy matter to smell
sweet by using plenty of soap and
water, and some other ingredints
if necessary.
The pulpit should instruct its con-
gregation not to be bOiSterouS on
the street cars coming from pic
MICS and excursions. 1t is distaste-
ful to see young men seated in
car with their arms around young
ladies waists or shoulders. 1t looks
vulgar Loud laughing on the
street cars should be avoided. If
the pulpit would teach good NOR
ais instead OF begging for money
continually to build new church
or to send lis pastor abroad. what
a revolution there would be in the
community. 1t is not believed that
the opposite race will onnose the
/, colored Americans OF is that race
opposed TO colored Americans on
account of color.
The Bee doesn't say that these
objections obtain entirely in the
colored race, but it does say that
the prejudice and discrimination
against the colored American would
be very much eliminated if color
ed Americans or those who are
compelled to do menial work would
present good appearance and clean
illness upon street cars. The pull
