sires to call your attention TO Mr..

Tinday in length of service, who
is the instructor of men or new

Sioners, and you have not seen fit

Commissioner McIihenny has formu-
lated a policy. and a good one at that.
He has worked hard over it during
the past year and has accomplished a
great deal But if the white men of
the South will not stand the examina-
tions the Negroes will get the jobs.
AS a matter of fact, the railway mail
service is a branch of Government work
that not many are anxious to take up,
and therefore the failure of white men
TO take the recent examination need not
be taken to mean that there is no in
trest among the white people of the
South in the general question of get
ting into the Government employ
through the civil cervice. On the con-
trary Commissioner McIlhenny, since
his trip throught the South last spring,
has received hundreds upon hundreds
of letters which prove conclusively that
interest is growing rapidly all the time.
But this does not help the unfortunate
Postofice Department officials. They
are face to face with problem. They
do not want Negroes in the railway
mail service, but how can they help
having them is a question

There is a disposition on the part of

The white plumbers have a monop-

SCHOOLSA BAR?.

Why don't the colored citizens
get a move on them? Do they
intend to sit and see their school
system destroyed by the enemy
The meeting that was held az the
residence of Roscoe Bruce last
" eek at times certain suggestions
were made meant nothing. The
Democratic Times, that dislikes the
colored citizens, stated that those
present agreed with the plans sug-
geSted by the superintendent. That
may be all true enough, but those
present don't represent the people
in this city, and if they subscribed
to what Superintendent Chancellor
poked down their throats The Bee
wants it understood that ninett
thousand colored people in this city
repudiate everything that this
admiration meeting

H. c. has no thoughts of his own,
hence he represents no one, not

cerned, he is not in the question.

November 4th. The monster peti-
ton that is being circulated and
signed will speak i'll no uncertain
tones on this question. If this self
constituted and non-representative

JUST A MITE WRONG.
the St. Luke Herald.

From the 81. Luke Herald.
Miss Beatriz l. Chase, in her para
graphic column in The Bee of last
week, says:
The notoriety the Governor of Vir-
ginia gained by his speech before the
Bankers Association at Atlantic City
will prove no stepping stone for him. "
Well, Miss Chase, if it were not our
governor, a Southern governor, the gov
ernor of Virginia, it would be doubtless
as you say. But down here in these
parts it is only necessary to lynch
the nigger" through the press, pulpit,
on the hustings. in any kind of public
assemblage, at funerals, Or wherever
if you only hit the niger, with your
tongue, pen, fist, foot or pistol, if you
will just go out of your way, leave
your subject and abuse the "nigger,
you are in line of promotion, from the
preacher to bishop. from a roadside
magistrate to the presidency of the
United States.
Miss Chase, this may sound extrav-
agant, but all the Negroes south of the
Potomac know it is a fact. When
white man has nothing else to do, then
lie abuses the "nigger."

NEGRO NOT WANTED IN RAIL
WAY MAIL SERVICE-WHITE
MEN NOT SEEKING
POSITIONS.

CFrom tie Florida Times Union, Oct.
IS, 1907.
Owing 70 the fact that white men III
the South show no great interest in
standing civil service examinations for
the railway mail servic, the postofice
70 mt l. IN a quardary. A few
weeks ago examinations were held in
various parts of the South for clerk
ships in the railway mail service( but
eight out of ten of those who stood
them were negroes. In one Southern
city, officials of the postoffice depart
ment declare, every man who appeared
to be examined was Negro. The name
of the city is not given. Many of the
Negroes, it is understood, passed sue
cessfuliy, and now the department does
not know what to do about it. The
Negroes are not wanted, but how to get
rid of them is puzzle. Railway mail
clerks are needed.
Under the law governing the classi-
fed service, those who stand at the top
of the eligibility list get first call. Of
course, anybody who knows anything
about the civil service knows that it is
an elastic sort of affair, but the pow
ers that be here in Washington always
make an effort to keep up the appear
ances, and they do not like to have
situations such as that with which the
Postofice officials are now confronted
come up. One of the reasons why
President Roosevelt put John A. Nc
Ilhenny on the Civil Service Commits
sion was that he wanted the Louisian-
ian to formulate and carry into effect a
policy which would bring brigfE young
white men and women OF. the South
into the Government service.

AT THE BARN DOOR

The recent speech of Mrs. Mary
Church Terrell before the Mission
ary Society of Cleveland, Ohio, re-
minds The Bee of an old story told
by a slave in wartimeS. An old
slave told the others to cuss his
master whenever he attempted to
whip him. So the old man tried it
and received a more severe whip
ping than anv he had received. So
when he met his old friend from
whom he had received the advice
he related to him what he had re-
ceived by taking his advice. why,
man, you is fool. | didn't tell
you to cuss your master 20 lis
face. | meant Cuss him while he IS
in the house and you at the barn
door" Mrs. Terrell always makes
such hot air speeches long dis
tance ffDm the scene of action.
There is as much prejudice III the
North as there is in the South, and
if these bleached colored Ameri-
cans who are roaming all over the
country would cease attempting TO
pass for white and get down to
their naturals there would not be
anv excuse for this TRADE against
the South.
Perhaps if Mrs. Terrell would
practice what she is preaching in
Ohio there would be a great deal
of virtue in what she is saying.

COLORED SCHOOLS

The Colored Citizens Commit
tee will petition Congress to have
the colored schools placed under
colored control. Not in the his
tory of our schools have they ever
been in such condition AMI never
were teachers so restrained from
doing their duty. Today the col
ored teachers are restless, which
naturally destroys their usefulness.
Every week new rules are promuI-
gated restraining teachers from
doing any other work Why is not
this rule followed by our school
officials? Why should teachers be
restrained or prohibited from Ell
gagiHg in other vocations so long
as they are not doing an injury to
the schools? The Bee appeals to
the Board of Education to promul-
