But Real Sentiment for TAFT Is De-
cIdred Not to Be at AH Hostile.
w. L. Anderson, the colored print
er, who has been in Chicago during
the past ten days perfecting arrange
ments for the reception of the Taft
League of Cincinnati at Chicago next
week, returned Sunday morning. Mr..
Anderson was a constant attendant
at the meetings of the National Re
publican Committee while the South
ern contests were being heard, and
expresses himself as amazed at what
ne observed. He found that in the
majority of cases where contests
were being made upon the issue of
lilly whiteism," that the lily white
delegations were composed of a large
quota OF colored men. He also no
ticed that there was very evident
absence of hostility to Mr.. Taft by
colored Southerners, who had been
previously charged as violently an
tagonistic TO his nomination. Ander-
son, Ralph Tyler of Ohio, and ex-
Governor Pinchback of Louisiana
were together a great deal at the Ma
tional Committee headquarters, and
to Messrs. Tyler and Pinckback the
speaker ascribed much of the good
feel for Mr.. Taft that has been ere
ated among the Southern delegates.
The ex-governor having passed thru
all the trying experiences Of war
times in Louisiana and the period OF
reconstruction which followed, IS a
venerable and commanding figure in
Southern politics, in consequence
thereof he has been an effective
worker in every Southern delegation
where anti-Taft sentiment existed.
One of the striking episodes Of the
week was when party of colored
men called at the Auditorium Annex
to pay their respects to Mr.. Charles
P. Taft. Pinchback was one of the
number. Neither had met since the
famous convention at Chicago which
Garfield in 1880. Even
before the others had been introduc-
ed Mr.. TAFT stepped forward, and

A MOST WORTHY ENTER
PRISE.

The Junior Auxiliary Needle
Guild, of St. Luke's Protestant Epis-
copal Church was organized May I3,
1908, under the direction of Misses
Lottie A. Harvey Lola Rufin and
IL. Europe.
The purpose of this organization
is to train young persons for Church
work. And while the Junior Auxil-
iary Needle Guild is made up prin-
cipally of the members OF St. uke's
Sunday School, the work IS far rach-
ing. It is the intention Of the Guild
to admit any Junior person of a wor-
thy type who will pledge themselves
to work for the upbuilding Of the
Guild, and for the interest of the
parish.
At present the work comprises two
departments, as follows: The Sew
ing Department, under the direction
of Miss Lola Rufhn, and the Fancy
Work Department, in the charge OF
Misses Lottie A. Harvey and J. L.
Europe
While the work IS now in its IN
fancy, the ladies referred to above
hope to enlarge It from time to time.
Material is needed to carry on the
work, which is earnestly solicited from
the members Of St. Luke's parish,and
from any friends who desires to en-
courage this commendable undertak-
ing.
Ordination services will take place
in St. Luke's Church tomorrow morn
ing at eleven O'Clock. Rev. DR.. Al
fred Harding, ID, rector OF st.

SECRETARY TAFT ACTS.

There has been a great deal OF
complaint made by colored Ameri-
cans to the Secretary Of War regard
ing the discrimination against them
on the Isthmus of Panama. There
are about twelve hundred colored
Americans on the Isthmus who are
employed in some capacity. Foreign
ers are treated with more considera-
ton than colored Americans.
Henry Williams, of Houston, Tex
as. who has been on the Isthmus
about a year, arrived in the city a
few days ago and laid his grievances
before Attorney w. Calvin Chase.
Mr.. Chase, in company with Mr.
Williams, called on Secretary Taft
and laid the entire matter before him.
The Secretary said, without equivo-
cation, that all Americans should be
placed on the gold roll, and if the

THE COLORED VOTER.


The disgraceful spectacle at the
city of Chicago last and this week
among alleged colored Repubi
cans only recalls to The Bee a
similar scene that was presented
at Louisville, Ky, several years
ago. A similar bolt against Ches-
ter A. Arthur was threatened by
certain ColOred men. This colored
gathering issued a declaration OF
principles that amounted to no
more than the paper upon which
it was written. COlored men are
famous for making threats and
slow in carrying them into eXecu-
ton. Colored Americans have
been told to bolt the Republican
ticket. VIII someone kindly give
a plausible reason for such a bolt?
VIII those who advise such a step
state why coloredAmericans should
support the Democratic party?
There is nothing under the sun
that the Democratic party has done
that merits the support of colored
Americans. Every state that the
Democratic party secures, that mo-
ment you may look out for the en-
actment Of a law that will restrict
the ColOred Americans.
Nothing Is more humiliating to
Colo1ed Americans that for some
Democratic Legislature to pass a
law establishing Jim Crow cars,
theaters, and other Objectionable
things. Why, a common" cur dog
is permitted to go where a respect
able colored American is prohibit
ed. The scum of. every nation is
given a cordial invitation to come
where bona hde colored Amen
cans are prohibited.
The Democratic party advocates
such principles, and the common
white trash becomes highly insult
ed if a respectable Colored Amer
lean is given any privileges at all.
Let the colored voter ask him
self which party has done more
for colored Americans and which
party has denied him his rights
of citizenship. Answer these ques-
tions with the ballots of both par
ties in your hands. If you can't
feel the humiiating sting, go with
your wife or your daughter or your
sweetheart TO one of the fve-cent
theaters on the Avenue and ask
for a ticket. Go, if you please, to
the big falls and look at the trash
that centers there, and then say
to yourself, Am I a dog or a
human being?' If YOU were a dog
there would be no objection to
you; but, being a colored Ameri-
can. a citizen of the United States
and a resident of the District of
Columbia, objections are made.
1t makes no difference of what
one man in the Republican party
may be guilty, can colored Ameri-
cans support the Democratic par

Firmin, good natured and unusually

Thursday night a public reception
was rendered the Liberian ENJOYS at
Lincoln Temple Congregational
Church. The church was tastefully
decorated under the supervision Of
Mr.. Henry Lassiter. The American
cOlOrs predOminated, and in a con-
sPlcuous place, suspended from the
ceiling, was a large Liberian flag,
made especially for this occasion. The
edifce was crowded to the doors long
before the meeting was called to or
der. Standing room was at a prem
ium, and the streets adjacent to the
church were filled with people unable
to gain admission. As the reception
was held in connection with a spe-
cial session OF the Washington Ma
tional Negro Business League, the
preliminary portion of the program
was carried on by the officers of that
organization, and the newly elected
officers were installed with appropri-
ate ceremonies. Retiring President
]. A. Landlord called the house to
order and introduced the new presi-
dent, Wr. w. Sidney Pittman, who
spoke briefly. DR.. Booker T. Wash
ington was asked to preside, and he
came forward amid a burst of ap-
plause.
DR.. Washington's address was de-
voted to the mission which brought
the ENJOYS to this country, and his
endorsement of both the men and
their cause was hearty and sincere.
Addresses describing their country,
and dwelling at length upon its COM
mercial and industrial possibilities,
and pleading for closer union be-
tween the United States and Liberia,
were delivered by each of the Com
missioners, and the audience gave ev-
idence of cordial approval of all that
was said.
A musical program was rendered,
under the direction of DR.. Amanda
Y. Gray, choice selections being pre-
sented by Messrs. c. Sumner Worm
ley, Clarence Cameron White, H.
Leonard Jeter and Miss Mary L,
Europe.
At the conclusinon of the speech
making, Editor w. Calvin Chase was
introduced and offered a preamble
and resolution calling on the various
Negro Business Leagues throughout
the country to tender a national tes-
timonial to DR.. Booker T. Washing
ton. The resolution was unanimous
ly adopted.
The solo by DR.. Sumner Wormley
was the occasion of prolonged ap-
plause.

SECRETARY TAFT ACTS.

The moment the attention of Sec
retary Taft was called to the dis
elimination against colored Amer

he went to work to abate the evil.

to go on the gold roll.

another colored American, or a
white one, who commands the re-
spect or has the confidence OF the
greatest people in the world that
DR.. Washington has? Then, in
what has he failed?
There are a few colored men at
Chicago who have been barking
like dogs ever since the meeting
of the National Republican Com
mittee, and if anyone can tell what
they have accomplished The Bee
will name the next candidate OF
the Republican party twenty years
from now.
There are just enough jackasses
at Chicago to make a good side
show. DR.. Washington IS held re-
sponsible for the ignorance Of the
colored politicians. He is held re-
sponsible because SO many Of these
alleged colored representatives
have made fools of themselves. The
Bee would be pleased to know who
authorized these colored renegades
to speak for ten millions Of color
ed Americans!
1t would be good idea if the
local government of Chicago would
arrest a few of these tramps, un-
der the vagrancy laws.
