DADE'S BUFFET

One of the best-appointed buffets
in this city is at 1910 Pennsylvania
avenue northwest, owned by Mr..
Dade. The entire place has been
beautifully remodeled and rearrang-
ed in every respect. Not only is there
fine billiard parlor, but beautifully
arranged dining room. This IS the
place formerly occupied by Mr.. Rich
ard Moore. If you want a frst-class
meal, don't fail to visit this place.

WILLIAMS AND WALKER.

Williams and Walker, in their lat
est vehicle, "Bandanna Land" will
inaugurate a limited engagement of
one week at the Academy of Music,
Baltimore, commencing August 10.
No engagement in Washington.
The plot and atmosphere of Ban
danna Land" is thoroughly Southern
in tone, with scenes laid in the north
ern part of Georgia.
The action begins with a scene
of the Down in Dixie nome of
Amos Simmons, which has been stud
led and produced with a care TO de-
tail that makes it as absolutely cor
rect as an old Dixie picture. Will
Jams and Walker are here introduced
as the prospective heir and his guard
ian, who are down on their luck and
yet remain philosophical.
The second act is a scene in the
basement of the Odd Fellows Hall,
and an entertainment is about to be-
gin upstairs. In this scene Skunk
ton Bowser (Bert Williams), who
has inherited a large fortune, is con-
vinced by the crafty Bud Jenkins
{ George Walker) that he should IN
vest part of his inheritance in estab-
fishing an ideal colored mans town
ship, which Bud names 'Bandanna
Land" in memory of his dear old
grandmother's head dress.
The third act shows the colored
mans scheme to establish and real

farmer who is incapable of earning
a living upon his land and unable
to build a house and exist by self
labor, DR.. Washington has taught
how to overcome the difficulties.
DR.. Washington established a city
known as Tuskegee, Ala, which IS
a monument to colored Americans.
If the colored voter is too ignor-
ant to see where It is to his interest
to cast his vote he is not entitled TO
citizenship. DR.. Walter claims the
Democratic party is acting in self
defense in disfranchising colored
Americans and establishing Jim
Crow" cars. Is il self-defense in
declaring that our refined, educat-
ed and moral young ladies and
gentlemen Of the colored Ameri-
can race are unfit to ride in the
same cars in which poor white peo-
pie ride Is this what DR.. Wal
ter calls self-defense?
To deprive colored Americans Of
their elective franchise because
they refuse to submit to heavy and
unjust taxation, is this self-defense
on the part Of the Democratic par
ty? The Bee fails to see where
self-defense comes in. But DR..
Walter says that this is self-de-
tense. Is numbering cOlored Am
ericans for minor and petty offens-
es and accusing them Of rape when
many Of them are not guilty, self
defense? Is confscating the prop
erty of colored citizens and driving
innocent citizens away from their
homes self-defense? VIII the very
learned physician define self-de-
fense?
Many Of the orators at the Mon
day night meeting declared Mr..
Taft as much to blame as the Pres
ident. Does it occur to those gen
tlemen that Mr.. Taft merely obey
ed orders that were given him !
Another orator declared that the
colored man had as much right to-
be a Democrat as President Roose-
velt, as he appointed a Democratic
member of his Cabinet. IS such
argument consistent with existing
conditions?
It is presumed that DR.. WASH
ington is responsible for every act
of the present administration, no
matter what offense colored Am
ericans may commit. Certainly,
DR.. Washington is a great man.

BOOKER T. WASHINGTON.

1t makes no difference how great
or how good a man may be, he is
not immune from attacks and
abuse. If he is so good that he
gets the plaudits Of everybody,
there is certainly something radi-
cally wrong with him. If he IS
roundly abused when he is doing
good, he is undoubtedly a great
man or he possesses the elements
Of greatness. The latest serious
(?)charge made against Mr.. Book
er T. Washington was made by
DR.. Walter at a meeting in Gal
braith Church last Monday even
ing. DR.. Walter declared that DR..
Washington could have prevented
PresidentROosevelt from discharg-
ing the colored troops. If Secre-
tary Taft. then the War Secretary,
could not prevent the discharge OF
the colored troops, how in the
name of God could DR.. Washing
ton have prevented the discharged?
Some colored men give Dr.Wash-
ington credit for more power than
he possesses. DR.. Walter gives
DR.. Washington the credit Of hav-
ing more power than Congress and
the entire colored American race.
Du. Walter misses the mark. In
stead of lowering DR.. Washin
in the estimation of the Anne
people. he makes him the gre
and the most powerful Anne
citizen.

these attacks, as he is fully capable
of answering them.
If the traducers Of DR.. Wash

done and are doing to elevate the
colored Americans, DR.. Washing

that his work and that of his ira

WHAT IS TO BE GAINED:


The Bee cannot see what such
able men as DR.. S. L. Corrothers.
DR.. Waldron, Bishop Walters and
others can gain by going into the
Democratic party. 1t is useless for
Republican representatives to say
that these men are not doing harm.
Auditor Tyler, DR.. Washington
and other colored Republican rep
resentatives should take heed and
do something TO head the influence
of these men off. If something is
not done at once such headwav VIII
be gained that will cost the Repub-
lican party almost a half million of
votes.
The Bee knows what influence
these men are exerting throughout
the country. The colored press is
also restless and suspicious at the
way white Republicans are acting.
Strong arguments must be r6ed
among the colored voters, and not
abuse Of these men who have lead
the revolt. Certainly it cannot be
said that they are not responsible
colOred American representatives.

ton of Mr.. Taft should not under

ciples of the Republican party. New
ertheless, it must admit that there
exists in this country a feeling
among colored Americans that must
be appeased in some way. Those
who will have charge of the Taft
campaign must have colored Ameri-
cans associated with them who are
near to the coIored voters.

Burns Defeats Beell.

Omaha, Neb., March IT,
Before crowd that filled the
big auditorium Farmer" Burns
tonight won from Fred Beell,
of Wisconsin, taking the first
and third falls. The two men
were very evenly matched. 1t
took Burns 323 minutes to
throw Beell the first time, u.s.
ing a full Nelson. Beell used
354 minutes in putting the
farmers shoulders to the mat
with a half Nelson and bar lock
The third fall occurred in 3
minutes and was largely acci-
dental. With both men on
their feet playing for position
Burns suddenly caught his op-
ponent by the arm and fairly
threw him over his shoulder.
Beell entered a protest against
the referees decision, demand
ing another bout, but it was
denied. SANDY" Griswold, the
we'll known sporting writer,
was the referee.

skirts of the city by a delega-

automobiles, and were escorted
into town between large crowds
which thronged both sides of
street. The procession was
headed by a brass band and the
reception was aperfect ovation.
This evening the men in

Today a representative of a

cured some Of the lists of delin-
quent subscribers from news
papers here for collection.
This man informs The Bulle-
tin that he had a conference
with the postal authorities at
Washington recently and they
say that after April LIST all
newspapers which have not
been paid for within one year
Of date will have to have a one
cent stamp affixed in order to
carry it through the mails.
A government inspector
will look over all newspaper
lists and compel this rule.
This simply means that news
papers will have to be paid fer
now or they will have to stop
going to delinquent subscribe RS
after April 1st. The Bulletins
list is now almost all paid up so
it will not effect this paper
much. But we warn those who
have not settled by cash ornote
before this that if they are
more than a year back the first
of April their names will have
to be dropped and the accounts
turned in for collection, which
will mean more trouble and ex-
pense both for themselves ard
us. It will be agreeable for Us
to hear from all now and have

Webster City, Iowa, March
l4-Azro Benjamin Franklin
Hildreth of Charles City, Iowa,
who recently celebrated his
ninety-second birthday, is sup
posed to be the oldest editor in
America.
Mr.. Hildreth was born in
Chelsea, VT, Feb. 20, 1916. For
many years he. was prominent
in newspaper work in his ma
tive state and in Massachusetts.
In 1856 he pushed into the
wilds Of the West and brought
a printing outfit by OK team
from Galena, ILL.,, and founded
the Charles City 1ntelligencer.
So great an interest was
taken in the new paper that
the whole town surrounded the
office, each person bent on se-
curing the first copy of the
paper. 1t finally was sold at
auction for 500.
Mr.. Hildreth tells how he
carried the boards from tn e
saw mill as fast as they were
sawed with which he erected
his printing office. The old
frame structure still stands in
Charles City, seeming to vie
with its builder to see which
