AUDITOR TYLER.

The Bee suggests the name OF
Auditor Ralph w. Tyler as the
man to arrange for a suitable tes-
timonial to Tuskegee Institute,
of which DR.. Booker T. Wash
ington is principal.
There should be at least ten
scholarships given to Tuskegee
by colored Americans. These
scholarships will not only be a
benefit to Tuskegee, but to the
colored race. Auditor Tyler
would be the proper person to
place at the head of this great
testimonial. 1t is believed that
every city in the United States
would contribute to a scholar
ship for some worthy boy or
girl.

"Orders executed by post" is .
common enough phrase nowadays,
but orders by pigeon post is some
thing new.
The pigeon post" has been re-
emily instituted by Don Harris, son
of a butcher at Herne Bay, who reg
ularly employs homer pigeons to
carry orders from outlying districts
to his fathers shop.
Mr.. Harris, Jr., when he goes %
collect orders takes six Of his fast
est birds in the trap with him. After
he has gone a couple Of miles ane
collected q dozen orders he hbratos

in little metal case attached to the
birds foot. Before fve minutes
have elapsed these orders are in
the delivery trap on the way to the
customers
At various stages OF his round
(which usually takes three hours)
Mr.. Harris iberates the other birds
with more orders. and by the time
he returns to the shop all the orders
received By pigeon post have bsez
| despatched.
Sometimes my rounds take nae
more than three hours" said Mr.
Harris, and formerly customers
who lived any distance out did not
get their joints until too late for
the midday meal. Now my pigeons
have solved the difnculty. The birds
will often travel at speed OF more
than q mile a minute, so you caz
guess the time they save. / have

COLORED MASONS.
The Result of Judge Wright's De
CiSiOn.


cisiOn.
The recent decision of Judge
Wright in the case of the two factions
of Colored Masons has thrown con-
sternation into their ranks; that IS.
the 18th Street faction. The entire
matter could have been settled among
themselves, thus saving several hun
dred dollars.
The 10Th Street Masons were ap-
pealed to and advised to harmonic
the differences that existed, but moth
ing could convince the brethern that
harmony would make them great in
the eyes of the world. Nothing
would convince them but a law suit
hence both sides prepared for the
fight.
The Virginia Avenue Masons under
the direction of Mr.. w. H. Grim
shaw, one of the oldest and best
known Masons in the United States,
declared that his side would expend
thousands of dollars to maintain their
rights and convince the world they
are the legitimate body of Free Ma
sons in the United States. There is
an interesting history connected with
this fight.
For several years the 10TH Street
Masons have been fighting for SUI
premacy, and went SO far as to de
clare the defeat of the Virginia Ave
nue. body. AS time rolled on, the fight
got hotter and hotter. The Virginia
Avenue Masons retained four law
vers, two white and two colOred. The
pleadings in the case were mostly
prepared by Attorney James H
Stewart and Assistant United States
Attorney James A. Cobb. The 10Th
Street body selected all white At
torneys although there were several
brilliant colored Attorneys connected
with the organization.
Both Cobb and Stewart made d
good fight and finally Judge Wright
Equity Court, a few days ago, declar-
ed that the 10Th Street body of Ma
sons were operating with legal au-
thority and all documents and other
instruments must be turend over tC
the Virginia Avenue body.
The 10th Street Masons have about
exhausted all of their funds.

NJ STREET HIGH SCHOOL BOYS
MAKE GOOD.


Two Colored boys of NJ Street High
School have attracted much attention
in college foot ball circles this year
Edward Gray of NJ street, 'o8 and
John Pinkett of NJ street, 'o7, both
captains of Company A of 'o7 and 'o8
and winners of the annual competi-
1--WE drills of those years, are stars o.
first rank on the Amherst College
foot ball team this year. Gray has
played right end and right half-back.
Pinkett has played center. Gray has
been the star in all of Amherst's
games this year In the Dartmouth
game Gray was rushed three and
four times in succession, and twice
the ball was carried to Dartmouth 5
IO-yard line. Here Dartmouth held
and the ball was kicked out of dan
ger.
The New York Tribune says about
the Cornell game: Gray, Amherst's
Negro right halfback, ripped CornelPs
line from tackle to tackle for gains
averaging 5 or yards, and when not
plunging wormed his way through the
line for big gains"
The Boston Globe says of Pinkett :
"He is one of the fastest centers for a
big man among these colleges IN years.
His great strength is in getting there
on defense and breaking up plays be-
fore the interference gets to going.
At NJ Street High School John
Pinkett did well as a track athelete.
He captured places in all the weight
throwing events in the track meets OF
Amherst last year. He went on the
annual competitive drill field two days
after breaking his right wrist during
athletic training and came off vict0-
rious.
Edward Gray, for four years was
NJ Streets best football player and a
star all around athlete. His com
pany put up a splendid drill last June
and won.
This is not the first year that AM
herst has been represented by colored
boys. ". H. Lewis, Harvard's cen

OUR SCHOOLS.

Just why there ale so many
complaints against the supervis'

state. The white SCHOOLS are al

without friction. The Bee is in

age his school, and yet this in

Commissioner Macfarlands Remarks
No one has done more than Mr.
and Mrs. Weller for the Colored So
cial Settlement work of Washington
! and you do well to honor them TO
night. AS pioneers in social settle,
ment work in Washington they drew
to its support many of our best citi
zens and greatly increased the genera
interest in it. All the settlements have
! prohted by the stimulus they gave tC
the public mind and conscience.
by neighboring all whom they
could help in the spirit of the GooC
Samaritan they stirred us all to new
endeavors in social service. We shall
miss them greatly, although we shall
rejoice that Pittsburg is to have theii
leadership in its social activities o
the higher order; but their work here
will remain because it was laid OF
sure foundations and honestly con
structed. Nothing would please then
more than to see the Colored Socia
Settlement undertakings given per
manent housing and adequate facili
ties.
"Those of us who share their deer

cling labors which you represent are
hoping that one of their memorials

WHO IS TO BLAME?

Complaints continue to be
made by many of the teachers in
the public schools. Some time
ago the Superintendent, Mr..
Stewart, was informed that the
colored teachers had been re-
quested to attend certain special
lectures on a special model school
tonight, by young graduates or
certain teachers who don't know
as much as the teachers who are
being taught, Many teachers are
forced to attend supervisors lee

ing all day, and at the conclusion
of the lectures the teacher doesn't

fore he attended the lectures.

ERMs or SUBSCRIPTION.
GO MEASURE YOURSELF.

GO MEASURE YOURSELF.
Now that the presidential con-
test has been fought and won -
victory perching on the banners
OF Judge TAFT - there is hust-
ling on the part of cOlOred patri-
OTIS for place. Out through the
West and MiddleWest,and down
in the land Of Dixie, there are
not a few who are sighting, thru
their political field glasses, at
places held in Washington by
Sons of Ham" And around
here in Washington there are
few who are willing to offer
themselves upon the altar of AIN
bition as willing sacrifice to
political preferment.
The Bee has some advice, how
ever, to give to these patriots.
First, not all Of them who say
"Ye" will be called. And those
who only sighted the band wag-
on after it turned the corner of
Victory street, and who spent
the time previous throwing
stones at the Taft band wagon,
and heaping anathemas upon
President Roosevelt, ought not
TO expect to be among those first
anointed.
And here's another bit of ad-
vice: Go carve out a place for
yourself. Don't become possess
ed with the idea that you are
only large enough, or just small
enough, or just jealous enough,
or lust so much of an icOnoclast
that you can only hold some po-
sition already being filled by an
other cOlored man with credit to
the service and with credit to
the race.
If there is a colored man who
IS holding Office who is unsatis
factory because he is incapable,
or because he is not rendering
proper service, you violate no
race interests by going after his
position, providing you are big
enough yourself. And always
bear in mind that your estimate
of yourself may be about one
hundred percent higher than the
publiC's estimate.
Another bit of advice. 1t is
not reasonable to presume that
President-elect Taft is going to
emOve from office colored men
who were with him Loyalty and
energetically from start to finish
for no other reason than to make
room for some other cOlored mer
simply because these some Other
Colored men just want place.
Go measure yourself, and ther
go measure the office and meas
ure the man now holding it, anC
YOU may have occasion to save
yourself an unnecessary amoun
of wasted energy in office-hunt
ing.

such thing is not hard to do if you
go about it in the right way.
We know of no firm in Washington

tent in this direction as the Peter
Grogan and Sons Company, of 8I7-

cash payment at the time. They
simply ask you to pay a small amount
weekly or monthly. The goods are
delivered to you without a contract,
lease or note, and they are yours.
You have an open account with them,
and by keeping it in good standing
you can add to it just as you need
more goods.
Payments will be arranged to cor
respond with your income, and little

ates. The Bee does not want /

tioning the action of certain SUI
pervising principals, The Bee
does not want to believe that
Mr.. Bruce is blindly reading the
marking in the Lewis case, and
many other cases of which The
Bee has data and knowledge.
If Congress is called upon to
investigate the colored schools,
and radical changes are recon-
mended, the colored school off
cials can blame no man but them
selves. The citizens are prepar-
ing for a fight, which is very
much to be regretted. The ap-
pointment of Miss Martha Shadd
as one of the supervising princi-
pals is unanimously indorsed by
the people Miss Shadd is a
young lady of high culture. She
has the love and respect of every
teacher under her supervision.
She has no prejudices. She has
no favorites. The school that
was made vacant by the reSigna-
ton of DR.. Beckley continues to
wait for the gentleman from the
South.
There are hundreds of Normal
School graduates knocking at the
door of our public schools, ask
ing for permission to teach. Hun
dreds of our washerwomen are
today decrepit and broken down
because they spent the best por-
ton of their life to educate their
daughters - and for what? For
some outsider to be imported
and appointed to places that their
daughters should fill. 1t should
be stopped, and at once.
TUSKEGEE AND ITS WORK.
1t should be gratifying to the
cOlOred Americans to know that
they have a representative that
stands so high in the estimation
of every nationality in this civil
lied world, and is doing so much
for humanity.
The work of Tuskegee under
the principalship of DR.. Booker
T. Washington is to be commend
ed by colored Americans espec-
tally. DR.. Washington is doing
for his people what no other col
ored American has ever done or
will ever do in the next genera
ton to come.
There must not only be some
thing in DR.. Washington, but in
his great work for his people,
that educators, philanthropists,
statesmen and the dignitaries OF
the world respect and honor.
In another column of The Bee
will be seen a report to The Bee
of a visit to Tuskegee by some of
the greatest men in the civilized
world. If such people as these
honor this great man, certainly
the colored Americans should do
likewise, and show their appre-
citation by presenting to Tuske-
gee at least five or ten scholar
ships. Why not? Doesn't Dir,
Washington deserve it? The Bee
thinks so, as we'll as other fair
minded men and people.
Tuskegee deserves a national
testimonial from the colored
| American race, and The Bee
hopes that every race loving in
dividual will see the importance
of rendering to Tuskegee some
token of appreciation. Who will
begin the movement?
