THE COMING ELECTION.
The coming election of delegates
to the National Republican Conven-
tion seems to lack that enthusiasm
that used to characteize the election
of delegates years ago. The selfish
ness, trickery and demogogery that
have existed seemed to put many of
the ambitious out of the running.
There should be honesty in politics
as we'll as in other things.
Some men allow ther ambition to
run away with their better judgment
and sooner or later they meet an un-
timely political death.
The ambitious demagogue who has
been playing hot and cold will soon
realize that there is honesty in poll
tics.
The Bee has been honosetin its
advocacy of men and measures. Its
record is clean, hence it has nothing
to regret.
There are two tickets in the field
at present. Which will receive the
support of the people? Which ought
to receive the peoples support?
The people must decide.

What | Saw And Heard

I am satisfied that every citizen
will be compelled to go armed if he
wants protection.
I noticed that colored agitators are
urging the colored voters to support
the Democratic party.
The conduct of Hefn is very en-
couragin gto colored voters through
out the country.
Benn Tilmann has about outlived
his usefulness. He is going abroad
for his health. Should he not return
no one will grieve.
The consensus of opinion is that
the Burt-Patterson ticket will be
elected.
It is about time that halt should
be made on these oppresSors of the
colored people.

did so, "You better had paid ii" The
conductor then went into the front

young white men who were standing
on the rear platform of the trailer
began to address rude and insulting
remarks to the old man.
Among other things they said ::
"Yo'd better pay your fare, nigger," "
and 1--WE shot one niger in the neck
last night, and we'll shoot you" The
old mans reply was, Gentlemen, l
haven't done anything to you, why
do you meddle with me?" If you
want to shoot me, here l am; shoot
me" They said, 'Oh. shut up, mig

reached Second and East Capitol

the noise, came into the trailer and
grabbed the old man and began to

LAWS RELATING TO WOMAN
AND CHILD LABOR AND TO
FACTORY INSPECTION.

Bulletin No. q, of the Bureau of
Labor, of the Department of Com
merce and Labor, just issued, gives in
full the text of the laws which had
been enacted up to the end of 1907
for the purpose of regulating the
employment of women and children.
mother article presents the laws re-
lating to factory inspection and the
health and safety of employees. These
laws are annotated with brief refer
ences to such decisions of the courts
as have been rendered in regard to
the provisions of these laws during
the short period they have been in
effect.
The two classes of laws contained
in this bulletin are closely related,
the increased employment of women
and children in recent years having
led to the enactment into law of
many special provisions designed to
safeguard the health and safety of
employees. Both subjects are among
those most often before the Legis-
latures of the various States, and
Legislative action from year to year
gives evidence of the increasing de-
mand on the part of the public for
improved conditions in factory en-
ployment, especially as regards wom-
Ell and children.
All of the States and Territories
have at various times enacted laws
regulating the employment of wom-
en- and children, and, during 1907,
twenty-eight of them added to or
modified their laws relating to this
subject.
Factory inspection and the health
and safety of employees have been
the subject of Legislative action in
thirty-nine OF the Ststea and Terri
tories. These include all thoseStates
in which manufacturing or mining
employs any considerable number Of
persons. New laws touching this
subject were put upon the statute
books in fourteen States during the
Legislative session of 1907

did" said Representative Hefin on
the floor of the HouseSaturday morn
ing in discussing the shooting with
friends. Il have since learned that
the Negro was dangerous character
with a bad court record"
Mr. Hefin today gave out copies
Of some of the threatening letters he
said he had received following his
proposal to provide for Jim Crow"
cars in the District, and which led
him to secure permission to go armed.
Following is one of these letters
Prepare to meet your God; go
guarded night and day from now on
until your death. Fear and tremble !
There is not a step between you and
death. Vile wretch, every person
who fears God and loves Justice IS
against you because you would add
to the already unjustly oppressed. Go
guarded and Tsll armed. Patience
has ceased to be y virtue. The South
is the property of the colored man.
Here's part of another letter:
Let you and your friends some
fine afternoon in a crowded car arise
and give a bevy of colored ladies
your seats, not forgetting to proclaim
who you are, and if there should be
any colored gent in the car he will
follow your magnanimous example. "
Tim Croag" amendment
Mr.. Heflin introduced his 'Jim
Crow" amendment to the Union Sta
ton Trackage bill and made a speech
in support of the measure. On the
next day, the 23d of February, he re-
ceiyed the following letter:
"AS assuredly as you attempt to-
interfere with the harmonious rela-
ttiOns now existing between the races
in the District of Columbia, as GER
tainly will your life pay for the priv
ilege
This is applicable to all Southern
members likely to crave for glory
and a halo. 1t is as easy to remove
an Objectionable of your stamp in
this Capital as a grand duke in St.
Petersburg.
You will be warned no more. Re
member, Cesar made light of the
swords soon to be reeking with his
blood, and an eye has been upon you

outbreak.

GIFT TO TUSKEGEE.

New York, March 2I. - Ninety
wholesale dealers of the Second In
ternal Revenue District of New York
City have just sent a check for nine
hundred dollars to the Tuskegee In
stitute, as a volunteer contribution to
the school, and in honor of Hon.
Charles w. Anderson, Collector of
the Second Internal Revenue Dis
trict. These wholesale dealers have
been led 10 show this token of re-
spect to Collector Anderson because
of the fact that he accepted checks
from the dealers during the entire
financial disturbance, and was per-
haps the only Internal Revenue Col
lector in the whole country who did
so.
The check for nine hundred dol
lars was accompanied by strong let
ter of endorsement of the business
qualities of Collector Anderson, and
in entire appreciation of his rare tact
in handling the delicate situation
which developed during the financial
disturbance of October and Novem-

Special to The Bee.
Charleston, w. Va.-Last Sunday
night William Jennings Bryan lee
tured in this city on THE Prince of
Peace" but no Negroes were admit
ted to any part of the Opera House,
not even to the gallery. A squad of
city police was stationed at the en-
trance with instructions not to admit
any Negroes, and the statement was
given out that neither Mr. Bryan nor
the Democratic party desired the Ne
groes attendance or support. Col
ored men of this city were thunder
struck. Never in the history OF this
city have they been so Disseminated
against. And to think that this is
the man so many Negroes have been
talking about supporting in case Sec
retary Taft should be nominated
The white Republican sentiment Of
West Virginia is decidedly for Taft,
and since this Bryan incident the Ne
gro sentiment is going to him also.
At least it may be depended upon that
no Negro in West Virginia will vote
for William Jennings Bryan. He and
his party have served notice on us
that we are not wanted.
