MR. r z RALPH.

Some few weeks ago, the Bee
on the representation Of certain en-
pIoyees of the Bureau Of Engraving
and Printing. published certain al
legged determinations against colored
employees. The Determinations did
exist under the publication Of Mr..
Ralph. Mr.. Sullivan. but Mr.. Ralph
was in no way responsible for them
and neither Is he now or has he been
in any way inimical to any employee
in The Bureau. He recognizes men
irrespective Of color or condition.
Since Mr.. Ralph has had charge OF
the Bureau OF Engraving and Print
ing. every person who has been pro
moted has been upon his merits and
nothing more. He knows no man by
the co,or of his skin and already he
has remedied many wrongs and hard
ships that have been inflicted upon
faithful and discerning men and wo-
men in the Bureau If Engraving and
Printing.
The "Bee"is too glad to publicly
state that Mr.. Ralph was misrepre-
sented by false reports to the Bee,
made by evil designed persons.
Some of the best employees in the
Bureau testify to the fairness and
good treatment extended to every
man and woman in the Bureau.

Referring to Judge Taft's unequi-
vocal declaration for the enforce
ment of the 18th, 18th and 18th
amendments to the federal consti-
tuition, as expressed in his speech Of
acceptance at Cincinnati, the Topeka
Plain Dealer says:
The colored people have waited
long for a man who would come out
squarely and say where he stood on
these amendments and that he would
enforce them.
Eureka! Behold the man! It IS
William Howard Taft. He will see
that the man in Alabama respects
the law as does the man in Massa-
chusetts. and that the right Of suf-
frage is enforced as far as the amend
ments go. Then a righteous indig-
nation from the North, East and
West will accomplish the rest. Take
fresh courage and be determined 10
accomplish more. With a fair in
depreciation of the law, half-good
treatment from the Republican party
in power at Washington, and with
Taft at the head, the Negro will yet
be the David TO slay the Southern
Goliath who has prosecuted him for
all these years"
