interest in the race. It was a
broadminded, courageous utter
ance. There was no Juggling
with sentences, no mincing Of
words, no hunting for expressions
that would not offend the ears of
Southern Negrohaters. He de
inounced the lynching Of Negroes
in terms just as positive as could
be used by a Negro. He took the
last prop from under the Dubois
| clan when he declared himself in
favor of higher as well as indus
trial education for the Negro, de-
claring that the Negro should,
and had a right to receive what
ever education he desired. 1t was
Ia manly, positive, intelligent pres
entatiOn OF his sentiments couched
IN language that could not be mis-
taken or misinterpreted.
The \. NJ. z. Conference, of
Ohio IS to be congratulated that it
invited Ohio's most distinguished
son to appear before it, and give
utterance to opinions and senti-
ments that received the hearty
applause of Negroes in every part
OF the country, no matter what be
their creed or profession.
That Cincinnati speech Of
Judge Taft's should be read by
every Negro. Not only read, but
reflected upon. 1t was a strong,
manly stand for justice for the
Negro.

WE WONDER.

We wonder if the series Of Ne
gro meetings held at Chicago
during the Republican National
convention at which vicious at
tacks were made on President
Roosevelt and Judge Taft were
financed by Standard Oil money ?
And we wonder if those Negro
speakers thereat, who gave utter
ance to attacks on President
Roosevelt and Judge Taft in Ian
guage that bordered on anarchy
were financed by Standard Oil
money? These are two simple
little questions that we hardly eX-
Pect an affirmative answer to.
But in the light Of recent events
they are simply suggested. All
we do know is that those Negroes
who were in the spotlight at those
Chicago denounciatory meetings,
were not themselves possessed of
great wealth.
Now who paid the freight?

was IS Editor-in Chief. This palAr
was the largest enterprise in the print
ing business ever undertaken by color
ed men, and the paper itself was the
largest colored weekly ever published
by colored men. They had their own
steam presses, and all the matter
printed was original matter The pa
per was ably edited and conducted
but the race at that time did not meas
sure up to the importance of such a
Journal, and for lack OF support it
had to be suspended Over ten thou
sand dollars was sunk n this enter
prise.
Douglass was also a member Of the
Upper House in the District Of Col
umbia Territorial Government. He
took deep interest in the organiza-
ton Of our present Public School
system. He made a steady fight Tor
the best that was to be had for out
schools, and up to the day OF his death
he took deep interest in JKem.
He was at one time Deputy u. S
Marshal for the District of Columbia,
and at another, Inspector for the Post
Office Department.
Before the war he was an able sup
port to his father, and father-in-1aw,
the late Bishop ]. w. Loguen, in
conducting fugitive slaves into Can
ada, via the Underground Railroad.
In politics he was straightout Re-
publican. He had hosts of friends in
every walk of life, and especially
among the younger set.
He was passionately fond of child
ren, and children took a great liking
to him, though he had none Of his
own.
He leaves a widow, and brother
Major Charles R. Douglass who is
the last survivor of Frederick Doug
lass family.
During Mr.. Douglass long illness
he had the devoted care and attention
of a loving wife, ably assisted by her
neice Miss Kathryn CrummelI, who

Der of her Uncle Lewis family.

NOT FAST COMING.

1t IS amusing to see how dis
appointed many members of the
National Colored Independent
League are. Up to the present
no one has received any money.
Many of them had an idea thou
sands of dollars would have been
paid them before now.
There is a great deal of dissat-
isfaction and unpleasantnesS now
among them, and at any moment
the scheme may be exposed, These
opposers Of Mr.. Taft and the
supporters Of Mr.. Bryan declare
that they are fooling the Demo
Gratis to death, What they want
is money, and nothing more.
Some of the most prominent
kickers are very much disap-
pointed at not having received any
money from the Democratic COM
mittee.
The Bee never thought that
colored men would be such fools.
The headquarters of the Demo
cratic committee will find the col
,ored brother minus. Certainly no
colored man with a grain of sense
will support a party that will en-
slave him. He will not be such
a fool. There is no place in the
South where the colOred man IS
respected politically.
No matter what the faults of
many white Republicans may be,
their party stands for equality Of
citizenship.
Democratic money is not fast
coming.

NEGRO HAS a STAKE IN THE
TARIFF AND FINANCE.

If Mr. Bryan or anybody else
hands out the dope" that a black
man has no interest in the tariff or
currency because he owns no manu-
factories and runs mighty few banks,
the fact should be emphasized that we
are employed to very great extent
by manufacturers and bankers Of the
white race, and our prosperity is
contingent upon their success in doing
business and getting the money they
pay into our hands. When the white
business man is hard up the black
man suffers. The tariff and finances
therefore, are not closed books TO
the Negroes Of this country.

COLORED BRYANITES lust
DREAMERS-THAT'S ALL.

The colored followers Of Mr.. BRYAN

any more than we discredit the Cru

Of modern times.
They are simply dreamers, idea1ists,
and impractical enthusiasts. who have
no notion as to how tangible results
are now brought about in the arena
Of business and politics. This is a

who know something about the cur

ROOSEVELT THE IDOL.

kO(JCEN Y ELL he 1DOL'
All Washington welcomes the
return Of President Roosevelt
back to the White House from
Oyster Bay. When next the Pre-
sident goes to his summer home
at Oyster Bay it will doubtless be
as a private citizen. At least he
will not go there in the capacity
of President.
And that suggests the oft asked
question what will President
Roosevelt do when he retires from
the White House? OF course it
is settled that he will hunt in Afri-
ca. But after that? \ strenuous
strong man like Mr.. Roosevelt
cannot remain inactive. In many
respects he is the most remarkable
president that ever occupied the
White House. Always alert, in
tensely earnest and sincere, with
the highest ideal OF morality
reformer who reformed. he will
leave behind him a record for do
ing that will not have been ex-
celled, and a record that will tax
| his successor to the utmost to
equal.
Differ as you may with Pres
ident Roosevelt as to nonessen-
tials, or even to essentials, the
fact is patent to all that he has
made a great and popular pres
ident. He is the idol OF the
masses.

DEATH OF LEWIS H. DOUG
LASS. JOURNALIST, PRINT
Err, AND SOLDIER. A
BRILLIANT RECORD.

Lewis Henry Douglass, eldest son
of the late Hon. Frederick Douglass,
whose death occurredSaturday morn
ing last at his late residence 2oo2 18TH
Street, n. w, was born in New
Bedford Mass. Oct. 9, I84o. Several
years later the family moved to Lynn
Mass, and then to Rochester, n. Y,
where Lewis entered the public school
of that City. At the age OF sixteen
he entered his fathers printing office,
and began to learn the printing trade
The foreman OF Ine ofice was a
Scotchman, but after completing his
trade. Lewis became foreman.
At the time of the capture of old
John Brown, his father having sud
denly to fee to England,L Lewis took
full charge of his father sHxtensive
business though only ninteen years Of
age.
In 1868, he was teaching a school
New Jersey, but when he learned
that his younger brother Charles had
enlisted in the 54th Infantry, he i'm
mediateIy resigned from this school
and enlisted in the same regiment,
becoming its Sergeant Major. He
took part in the famous assault on
Fort Wagner, where his Colonel,
Robt. @. Shaw, and several hundred
of the enlisted men fell. He was
disabled at that time, and year later
was discharged for disability.
After the war he went across the
continent seeking his fortune, and f.
nally located in Denver, Colorado.
He was employed as a. ompositor on
the Denver News, a Democratic pa
per. He was forced out of that job
bv the Union" He then came 10
Washington, and was appointed the
first of his race a compositor in the
Government Printing Office, and was
later promoted to proof reader, but
during all this time the typographical
Union No. IoI, of this City, was max
ing a spirited war upon the Public
Printer, Hon. A. NJ. Clapp, for his
(Douglass') removal. This was un-
der the administration OF President
Grant, who visited the Office during
Douglass employment there and urg-
ed him to stick" and he did stick ;
| the Union" for its own safety being
I obliged to open its doors to colored
membership, though Douglass was
made the target for the bitterest and
most cowardly kind Of intimidation.
Threats of death, cross bones and
skulls, and every other means to force
him out were employed, but he would
not surrender. Thus he opened the
way for many others of his race who
have since found employment there.
He afterwards began the publlca-
ton of the New National Era. He

PROSPERITY OR THE SOUP
HOUSE THE ALTERNATIVE.

Forced by the facts of the situa-
ton to admit that all has not been
we'll in the party to which we have
shown blind allegiance in the past,
we are now face to face with the
question What is the best?
That answer must be made by the
Negro as a part and parcel OF the
economic world Which party stands
for the highest advantages to the
men who labor? To this question
there can be but one answer. That
answer naturally suggests the Repub-
lican party.
Colored votors, must we again re-
turn to the soup houses, silence the
hum of the factory wheels, still the
voice of the whistle at the mine ard
send forth an army of laborless men
in search of work, leave suffering
families for the state to support, and
erect. the evil of want in the place
of sunshine and plenty? These are
the issues which touch you and me.
These are the agencies which will
influence us to act for the best.
