When you see the name Rydale in an
advertisement or on a remedy it is a sure
sign that the remedy advestised is COM
pounded from the prescription of q spec
ialist. A Specialist in certain disease
knows more about, and is better fitted to
treat that disease than anyone else, and
that is the reason why the Rydale Rem
edies never fail to relieve and so often
cure the troubles for which they recon-
mended. Rydale's Stomach Tablets, for
Indigestion and Dyspepsia; Rydale's
Liver Tablets for Liver and Bowels Ry-
dales Tonic, for system builder and
sure cure for Chills and Malaria; and Ry-
dale's Cough Elixir, for all ordinary
Coughs and bronchial troubles, are four
prescriptions of the best specialists and
will do all that medicine can do III. b.

THE KNOCKERS.

In all nationalities as we'll as in
all municipalities, you will find the
knockers. Knockers are individu-
ais who have either served terms
for notorious offenses mostly in
penitentiaries. They are too cow
ardly to come out into the open,
but, like thieves, they go to the un-
suspecting and innocent and then
knock" their fellow man in the
hope of placing their victim upon
the same footing with themselves.

They are dangerous elements in
any community. The election OF

every iour years brings forth these
criminals, whose reputation cannot

come innocent victims of the on

criminal class. They are the Shy

would have candidates believe that

they are the Moses i'll their respec-

covenants, the burdens upon good

such characters were once III con-

are today the impediments to the

THE NEW SCHOOL SUPER
INTENDFNT.

The receptions BY the teachers
Of the public schools last week to
Mr.. \. T. Stuart, the new Super
intendent Of Schools, ought to be
convincing to Congress that the
teachers as we'll as the people are
satisfied with the action of the
Board of Education.
Moral Of these two receptions
by the teachers, irrespective of col
or, showed two things. One was
that they all are satisfied with Mr..
Stuart. but the teachers in the col
orcd schools are dissatisfied with
Mr.. Bruce, and that DR.. Mont
gomcry is their choice for assistant
superintendent. The two cxcep-
tions were enthusiastic demonstra-
tions and tokens of esteem and ap-
probation of Superintendent Stu
art, who should never have been
succeeded by the superintendent
who has just been deposed.
The coming investigation by the
Senate will show that the Board is
and that number of col
ored appointments were made by
the former superintendent upon
the recommendation of one color
ed member OF the Board of Edu-
cation. The former superintend-
ent has declared that this member
had prejudicod him against citizens
for whom he had the highest es-
teen and respect. If this member
had more political sagadity than
the superintendent, he IS to blame
and not the member, and if he has
been used as a catspaw he should
frankly admit it.
That the Board of Education
stood by the former superintendent
as long as it could, and its only
remedy was to do what it has al
ready accomplished, Congress to
the contrary notwithstanding All
that Congress can do, if anything,
is to legislate the present Board
out of existence, thus repudiating
its own laws and rebuking the
present Board for doing its dut,
under the law, to which the BoarC
will say Amen!

THE TEACHER.

If we are to Judge by the rule
that have been issued by the col
ored Superintendent, one would
Judge that the colored teachers dc
not know very much. These teach
ers, or many OF them who were re-
quested to attend the NormalNight
School, should BE- thinking about
retiring on a pension. If the teach
ers have been teaching successfully y
for years, The Bee can not see
how Normal course is to benefit
them. The Bee hopes that Super
intendent Stuart should not allow
himself to be influenced BY Bruce
to the detrimcnt OF the coiored
teachers. The appeal that the
teachers made to superintendent
Stuart should be carefully couSid-
cred before he comes to a conclu-
sion. If the teachers cannot 9c1
any relief from Mr.. Stuart they
will undoubtedly appeal to Con
grcss. The coming investigation
bv the Senate Of the schools NAV
give the colored teachers some re
lief.

4 STEP BACKWARD.
From the New York Age.


Our esteemed contemporary The
Washington Bee, usually correct in it,
pronouncements for the race, IS advo-
eating that colored schools of Washing
ton be placed under the control of a
colored Board Of Education Such a
move, in the opinion Of The Agewould
be step backward, for it would be
advocating drawing the color line by
the race, and what We want Is the
obliteration of the color line. 1t IS
right that the race should be given
representation on the Board; not mere
" as a recognition Of the race, but as
recognition of ability, ard as recogni-
ton Of the taxpayer.
The Bees most esteemed con
temporary has misunderstood its
editorial OF some few weeks ago
The Bee said that the colored
schools woud fare better entirely
under COlOred supervision, same as
before. Will The Age say thai

lowing information: The debt Of the
country is about 100000; the Gus
toms receipts for the past year will be
over 100000 in gold, and will easily
go to $4,000 annually and beyond, with
the increase OF trade sure to come as
the whole scheme is carried out. This
will pay the interest and provide a
sinking fund for the debt, and the gov
ernment will have an opportunity TO
develop the country on essential lines.
My Judgment agrees with that of
many with whom | have talked: that
Liberia is now in the epoch of nsW
and important opportunities, and that
she ought to succeed in fulfilling the
obligations of this contract.
We are in the midst of marvellous
times in the development of the CONT

THE NEGRO'S COUNTRY.

Multitudes of people in America and
many as we'll in other civilized coun-
ries. have a special interest in the re
public Of Liberia. Although my off
.ial travels each year take me to othe
parts of the African continent, when |
m in America or Europe more people
ask as to the status and outlook OF
Iberia than concerning any other coun
" on the continent. The reasons for
his are manifest. Liberia has now beer
efore the world for sixty years as a
rganized government controlled en-
rely by Negroes; in which a Whit
nan cannot vote and may not hol
7roperty. 1t is an experiment IN wha'
he Negro can do in founding a per
7anent and Independent nationality.
The republic was the outgrowth OF
The Washington bee., 1908-01-18

al Republican Convention, to see
that every Republican registers his
vote and see that that vote is
counted. The members of the
United Republicans Clubs in the
twenty-five districts are requested
to act i'll conformity with the reso-
luton adopted by the Executive
Committee at its meeting Monday
wing.
The lily white Republican club
is sufficient to put every Republi-
can on guard. If there is to be
any discrimination in the coming
contest the colored Republicans
should act as their conscience and
their votes shall dictate. Colored
Republicans especially have a duty
to perform. They owe it to them
selves to see that delegates are
elected who have been closely al
lied to the people.
There will be number of mush-
room candidates in the field. These
candidates are only seen and heard
from every four years. When Re
publicans are oppressed and os-
tracisod in the several departments
of the Government, a few Of them
are heard from denouncing this op-
preston. Colored Republicans
ought to know who their friends
have been and who they are to-
day. Let them make no mistakes.
The men who are Republicans
to fleece honest men and declare
that they Will deither vote nor

Each and every Republican has
a duty to perform. Let him per
form it manfully and honestly.

GONE MAD"

Elsewhere in The Bee will be
read with interest the letter of the
Police Court Judge T. NJ. Nor
wool, of Savannah, Ga, to the ed
itOr of the Savannah News. The
editorial in The Bee, in reply 10
this Negotiating Democrat of the
South must have given him a gen
tie reminder of his (reachery to
the Negro. He imagined that he
rendered judicial decisions when
they were only quasi legal rot The
Editor of The Bee is pleased to
know that this Police Court Judge,
retired after twelve years service
cOnvicting Negroes, that his edi
toriai in reply to his recent judi
cial 90 rot is an education for
both races. If this Police Court
judge could only see himself as he
is seen by the American people he
would retire to the swamps OF
Georgia and pray to God to de-
liver him from damnation.
This Police Court Judge, who
has Just retired after COnvicting
twelve thousand Negroes, says in
the closing paragraphs of his let
ter to the Savannah News, that
The Bees editorial demonstrates
the editors limited intellect. The
Editor of The Bee does not claim
to have much intellect, but he has
more than this Police Court Judge,
at any rate. and enough to disSect
the brains of a jaCkass even when
he is braying.
1t must be admitted that every
person cannot take a live braying
ass, take out his brains, weigh
them, put them back,and allow him
to remain the same old ass.
What injury has the Negro done
to the white race by his so-called
education? To the contrary, the
Negro has been injured by his
white oppressors, and this Police
Court judge has been, as he admit
ted, one of his OppresSors. He al
so claims that the Negro cannot
tell the truth. This Police Court
judge should first set an example
and then he will be able to Judge
the veracity of the Negro. The
Negro reasons enough not to at
tempt to run away with banks,
trust funds, and entire gigantic
copspiracies against the Govern
ment. By so doing he enjoys the
air of freedom and breathes the
fragrance that outdoor life gives
and continues to have a conscien-
tiouS mind.
1t is the poor white trash OF the
South, on the order of this ex-
Police Court Judge, that uses brute
force. The Negro is a civilized
and harmless being.

The Superintendent Of Schools
has ordered the abolition of all OBJ
noxiOus and oppressive rules and
regulations that have been burdens
to teachers for over a year.
1t was a source of relief to the
teachers this week, when they were
informed that every childish rule
that has been so oppressive to the
faithful colored teacher had been
rescinded by Superintendent Stu
art. and there was rejoicing thru-
out the entire school system.
The Round Table Club. the mid
night meetings, the public lecture
harangues for which teachers were
forced to pay $I.5O per ticket, and
many other things have all been
abolished by MrStuartThe teach
ers are now resting a little from
their heavy burdens, which have
weighed them down for the last
fifteen or sixteen months. This
recent order of Mr.. Stuart's is the
first act that has given them sweet
repoSe.

AFRICA'S ONE STRONG STATE.

they were soldiers of Menelik's army
it is worse.
Italy had all the fighting with Abys-

more than ten years ago. The decisive
action was a great Italian defeat, and
the Abyssinian army is armed, to this
day, with rifles taken from the Italians
who were slain or made prisoners. It
ally practically made peace Oh Meme

Now Abyssinia is stronger than in
1896, much stronger The country is
big enough and populous enough to

is equal to that Of Germany or France,
and it has probably ten million inhab-

most part, and devoted to their country

mountains, with transportation made
exceedingly difficult for invaders by the
lack OF roads and the nature of the
