The Washington bee., 1908-03-28

ont last Wednesday evening TO
hear DR.. Washington in this city
was a magnificent testimonial to
the standing of this leader. Carp
ing critics may exhaust the Hocab-
ulary of denunciatory words, but
the fact remains, clear to all, that
Booker T. Washington occupies a
plane so far elevated above the
low ground of criticism that the as
saults of critics are as paper wads
thrown against a stone wall. Here
in Washington city the Doctor has
had his share of critics. They have
thrived here as anarchists have
thrived at Paterson, n. J., but that
audience Of last Wedneday even
ing demonstrated that while they
have thrived they have accomplish
ed nothing. And there were three
times the number OF people ad-
mitted who were unable to gain
admission. As the statue Of Lib
erty in New York Harbor, in the
gathering gloom OF night, casts a
ray of light over the waters as a
beacon light. so does DR.. Wash
ington shed light for his race.

TYLER, DOUGLASS
MATTHEW'S.

Hon. Ralph w. Tyler and the
late Frederick Douglass seem to
possess similar characteristics, so
far as public criticisms are con
cerned. 1t may be because both of
these distinguished men>were jour
nalists. Mr.. Tyler is Auditor for
the Navy Department the late
Frederick Douglass was at one
time Recorder of Deeds and Unit
ed States Marshal.

his inability to come oftener, but as
sured them that though absent he
might be in the flesh he was always

to make their opportunities broader

TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION.
THE BEES POSITION.

The Bee has made a gallant and
consistent fight for Senator For
aker. We challenge anyone to dis
pute this statement. Nothing that
we can do or say for him now can
alter his status as a presidential
candidate. As a presidential guam
tity Senator Foraker is out of it.
We regret to admit this, but it is
a fact nevertheless, and even his
warmest supporters now admit it,
and the Senator, too, by his silence
also admits it.
The Negroes OF this country, and
The Bee in common with them, ad-
mire him, and we owe him a debt
of gratitude which we stood ready
to pay. We are no less for him
today than were were in the be-
ginning.
When that greatest Of all Negro
friends was living, the lamented
Charles Sumner, every Negro then
living desired and hoped for his
elevation to the presidency because
of his manly and human stand for
the Civil Rights Bill. The coun-
try, however, demanded Grant, and
the race reluctantly bowed to the
will of the great majority. The
Negroes of this country, from one
end to the other, have Loyalty stood
by Senator Foraker, and hoped for
his elevation to the presidency. The
sentiment of the rest Of the coun-
try, as expressed in the several
State conventions thus far held,
clearly demonstrates, even to the
most ardent Forakerite, that the
country is for Secretary Taft.
As We did in the case of Charles
Sumner, the greatest of all white
friends, so we must do today: bow
to the will of the great majority,
for the majority rules in this coun-
try. That's the principle upon
which the Government is founded.
If the Republican party says Taft,
and if the Negroes OF this country
prefer the Republican party to the
party of Tillman. Vardaman, ct al,
there is nothing left for us to do
but to join in the general acclaim,
and by so doing, and by lending
our support to the success Of the
party place the race in position to
share in the success the Republi-
can party achieves.
The Bee recognizes that the
party is greater than any man. and
that the tai. cannot wag the dog.
We cannot wag the Republican
party. As the party IS greater than
the creature, so are the interests of
the race greater than the interests
of one man. The Bee, because of
the accursed and relentless oppo-
sition of the Democratic party to
our race, must, of race necessity,
stand for the Republican party.
And there is where The Bee will
stand, with or without Secretary
Taft as the nominee.

AUDITOR TYLER

Auditor Ralph w. Tyler last
week denoted a white clerk in his
office, for Incorporate habits. and
incapacity, from $1,000 to $8Oo,and
promoted a colored man from mes
senger at 81 200 to the $1,000
clerkship, and Immediately some of
the white newspapers began an as
sault OH him. However. it did not
disturb him in the least. He goes
right along helping his race, un-
mindful or praise or criticism.

The editorial in last weeks In
dependent on Reinstatement of
Negro Soldiers" which we repro
duce in another column, is worthy
of careful reading, Especially so
because it comes from a magazine
that never in all its history has
failed to champion the cause of the
Negro race. The independent has
always been the Negro's friendly
periodical.
The Washington bee., 1908-03-28

from looking out for his sons and
daughters, never failed to look out
for other colored people as well,
Notwithstanding the charge of nep-|
otism against him, which brought
forth the criticisms of the public
press. Mr.. Tyler is not charged
with nepotism, but he is commend
ed for doing his duty in his OF
fee and advancing worthy and
competent Colored employees in
his office in violation OF the jour
nalistic prejudices of the white
press. Mr.. Tyler was appointed
Auditor in recognition of meritori-
Gus services and his ability to run
the office. President Roosevelt
knew that Mr.. Tyler would pro-
mote meritOrious cOlored employees
in his office, which he has done and
is doing, notwithstanding the crit
icisms of the white press. The Bee
takes this occasion to applaud the
recent promotion of a colored en-
.ployee in his office, and it hopes
that he will continue to promote
.colored employees whenever an
opportunity permits.
Mr.. Tyler belongs to the new
school Of politicians, while Mr..
Douglass belonged to the old. Ty-
Ter is for his people, without res
ervation; Douglass was for his peo-
pie Notwithstanding the charge of
nepotism against him. Douglass
was easily persuaded, but he would
not compromise his people, and
neither was he an unkind father.
Mr.. Douglass was, to some extent
selfish, but not ambitious. He was
brave in some instances, and de-
fled the Secretary of State, the late
James @. Blaine, when this Gov
ernment wanted Mole St. Nicho-
las as a coaling station Douglass
acted the man. He was weak when
the late Charles Sumner wanted to
resent the insult offered 10 him by
Grant after his (Douglass) visit
to San Domingo.
Ralph w. Tyler is reliable, and
if he is ambitious he does not show
it. He is brave and is not con-
trolled by the Establishments of Of
fetal power. He never was. He
has acted the part of a man under
all circumstances and conditions.
As Auditor for the Navy De
partment he has demonstrated more
manhood than any other public Of
fetal under the present Admins
tration.
Mr.. Cleveland had one appointee
under his administration in the.
person of Hon. James c. Mat
theWS of Albany who actually re-
moved his white deputy recorder
of deeds and appointed a colored
man.
Tyler, Douglass, and Matthews.
The first named runs his office aC-
cording to law and to please and
satisfy his people; the last two con-
Quoted their offices to suit them
selves, at the same time guarding
the interest Of their people.
Matthews was not selfish. He
was bold, and positive, and a man
of ability. His deputy attempted
to dictate terms to him, and he at
once requested his resignation.
DOUGLAS MEMORIAL.
DR.. Booker T. Washington has
made another appeal to the patri-
otic colored Americans in behalf
of the Frederick Douglass Memo
rial Fund. This appeal should
touch every tender chord in the
body of every colored American.
Frederick Douglass was a hui
man benefactor. He was always
in the front rank, defending his
people and denouncing oppression.
Let us forget his faults; let us for
get his imperfections, because when
he espoused the cause of freedom
and denounced human slavery he
