Go And Tell MaSSa
HIS ENEMIES FLEE WHEN NO
ONE PURSUETH.

Mr.. Editor:
| am sorry, indeed, to once more
ask for space in The Bee to answer
a leading editorial that is reekinG
with filth published in a sheet that
sometimes appears in this city.
This latest outburst, "Why We
Won't" is most pitable and has re-
solved itself into a controversy be-
tween a "nigger" and a policeman.
In spite of my ten years service as
4 policeman and my careful study of
people and things, | am at a loss to
understand the seeming antipathy of
certain class of Negroes for police
men. This personal attack on me is
characteristic of a class of news
paper editors" who are always "delv-
ing in the past" looking for news to
elevate their sheets while the edi-
tors of journals are dealing in the
present and planning for hekfuture.
But this editorial carries with It a
most dePlorable fact, a most dis
couraging fact, humiljating.. in the
extreme, a fact which should cause
all true hearted Negroes to stop and
consider. Here we have two young
Negroes, who, had they remained in
their early environments | could ex-
cuse, but who have been among us
long enough TO have lost, cast aside,
the ways and ideas of their class at
theitAS Southern home Before the
war, this class, when, perchance or
through spying, they observed some
ether Negro steal an apple, would
hasten forthwith VO "Massa" with
the news. This was taught them,
but theareneratiOn to which these two
young Negroes belong has no earth
Iy excuse for such proclivities. Tat
ling, carrying tales, eyes Massa,
yoe niger Oliver is bad niger,
he's foolin' yo'," seems to be in the
blood. l repeat, I must acknowl-
edge. humiliating as it is, that a GER
tain class of young Negroes who
have come in contact with us of a
Sturdier mold and should have, by
this contact at least, cleaned some
ideas of manhood, are still dominat-
cd by a slavish instinct, "I'1l tell
Massa on you" This spirit tha; has
been transmitted to some of those
who are urging these young Negroes
on and who will desert them when

CHURCH CELEBRATION.
Anniversary Exercises by Shiloh

-NAiitAN ~ oSiA I-ACl NiSNS ny NDllllOii
Baptist Congregation
The Shiloh Baptist Church (color-
ed) has been engaged all the week in
celebrating its forty-sixth anniver-
sary. The history of the church is
interesting as showing, as is pointed
out, the interest taken in the welfare
of the Negroes by the white people
before and during the Civil war.
Shiloh Church was founded by
twenty-five men and women who
were formerly members of the Shiloh
Baptist Church of Fredericksburg,
Va, and who fed to Washington as
q place of refuge d,;ring the siege of
Fredericksburg by the Union army.
The Shiloh Church had grown
from twenty-five members in 1863 to
goo in 1909, in addition to the two
tlrrches of considerable size which

the rub comes, permeates the article
in question in its entirety. The idea
does not seem TO present itself to the
minds of these young -lTegroes that
their position is beneath that of a
manly man. Call my superior off
GERS attention to the fact that am
writing letters about them 1t does
seem to me that even the most
meagre amount of brains would point
out to these young Negroes how
untenable their lying position wilE-be
when this lie is brought home to
them Well, well The ways of a
"darky" surpasseth my understand
ing.
Now, why do I sign myself attor-
ney-at-law? For the reason that /
am an Alumnus of the Howard Uni
verSity Law School and am a mem
of the Bar of the Supreme Court
Of the District of Columbia, having
passed the same Bar examination, at
my first attempt, which the senior
editor of this filthy sheet has fail
ed so many times to pass. Mr.. Edi-
tor, | am also a member of the Bar

and where / have the good fortune to
have a client now and then. I am
also charged with deception. Let us
see. One of these young Negroes is
now holding a position in the Census
Office on the strength of an editorial
that appeared in this sheet written
presumably by this same young Ne
gro. The fact is ne editorial was
the product of brains other than his
the whole scheme was originated and
put through by brains not of the
kind that this young Negro carries
about with him; hence he finds him
self in the position of a Jackdaw
strutting about in Peacock's feath-
ers. Had | the Tell Massa' in
stinct in me that characterizes these
Young Negroes, I might have embar-
rassed their plans a few months ago
But it amuses me, however, to see a
young Negro fool a white man
though he does it with borrowed
brains. The editorial says further
that | violated the Commandment

lie. 1t is not my nature. A glimpse
at the records Of the Municipal Court
Landlord and Tenant cases, Docket
No. 1884, Caption, National Benefit

Ocea Taylor will demonstrate who is
the liar. | must apologize to my
friends, most humbly, for this un-
seemly descent to the level of this pair
of Negroes. l had no idea when
wrote those School articles of, being
personal nor that | would be drawn
into a mess of this character.
I am writing this letter in the hope
that these young Negroes will not
suffer another attack of cold feet but
will "delve in the past"

Fifty years of eucoess have proved
the merits OF this preparation.

What is more attractive than a beautiful
head of hair? 1t has been the ambition of
women in all ages. The use of FOFd's Hair
Pomade makes stubborn, harsh, kinky or
curly hair softer, more Eaisble and glossy.
easy to comb and arrange in any style de-
sired consistent with its length, as long as
the Pomade remains in the hair. This result
may be obtained by one thorough application
according to directions. Two to four aDDlica-
tions a month will keep the hair in satisfac-
tory condition and two ofourbottles, regular
size. are usually sufficient for year. Direc-

day afternoon, December 2, at the home
of Mrs. o. L. Smith, 1875 Race street

Cherry, Ill.-The testimony at the
coroner's inquest into the st. Paul coal
mine disaster in which 300 lives were
lost, was directed toward showing that
officers of the mine had not made an
early effort to rescue the miners.
Mrs Jemina Miller, widow of a
miner, testified that she had seen coal
being hoisted from the mine as late az
2 o'clock, which, according to other
testimony, was two or three hours after
the fire was discovered.
George Jones, carpenter employed
in the mine, testified that a hosting
cage that was supposed to be attached
to the bottom of the main cage to lift
miners from the third vein, in case of
fire, was not attached. The alleged
failure to keep the third vein cage in
working order is said to have been di-
rectly responsible for the deaths Of
most of the men employed in the third
vein level.

Iridium.

Ranking with the centenary celebra-
tlon at St EliZabeth's church in point
Of solemnity was the iridium in prepa-
ration for the Feast of the Immaculate
Conception at Logan Avenue chanel
The cathedral is named for the I'm
maculate Conception, and therefore the
day is always the occasion for espe-
cial celebration.
The iridium opened Sunday evening
with vespers by the boys choir and a
sermon by Father James NJ. Walsh of
st. James church, Montclair. The at
tendance was large, considering that it
was one Of the coolest nights Denver
has ever known. On Monday evening
lhe chapel was reserved exclusively for
the young women of the parish. and
Father M. w. Donovan preached a ser
mon especially for their benefit. Tues
day afternoon and evening was given
over TO the hearing of confessions in
preparation for the feast, when MANY
of the faithful made it point to re-
ceive holy communion. There was no
sermon. On Wednesday there was SOL
emn high mass at 10 O'Clock. with
Father p. A Phillips as celebrant
Father ]. r Mcdonald acted as deacon
with Father Louis F. Hagus as sub
deacon. Father Francis X Henegan
was master of ceremonies. That even
ing there was a reception into the
Young Womens sodality and a sermon
by Father Leo Krenz, S J.. of the
Church Of the Sacred Heart Father
krenz was formerly in the chair of phi-
losophy at Sacred Heart college, and is
one of the foremost orators in the west.
The service on Wednesday evening was
made very attractive by his presence.
The socialists and the candidates for
admission to the sodality wore white
gowns and had smilax twined in their
hair. They had the center of the chapel
reserved for them, and the choir rem
dered program selected with refer
ence to the feast day. The service
closed with benediction Of the Blessed
Sacrament.
