WHY LAMENT

There is a great deal of lament
ing among the Negroes of this
country on account of the appar-
ent wrong they claim is done to
them. Why should the Negro
lament? He is strong and ro-
bust, he is educated and refined.
If it is, as the distinguished jurist
said, Judge Stafford, because he
is a Negro, why should he la
ment? If he is abused and de-
clared by those in power to be
unconstitutionally unfit for citi-
zenship, why should he lament
If he is burned at the stake and
charged with an imaginary
crime, why should he lament?
That God who rules the destinies
of nations says their is a day OF
retribution. The Negro has been.
is. and shall be loyal and faithful
to his flag. 1t is the white man
who needs civilization. He is the
animal that is committing crime:
against God, the government
and the nation. Why then should
the Negro lament? Instead 0.
complaining and crying the Ne
gro should show a manly front
Let it be seen, Notwithstanding
that he is oppressed, that he car
be a man.
Why lament?

US ALoCIoL WITH POLISH.
itousev,Ee E.seovers That 1t Aids in
Cleaning Silver.

1t may not be manners to discuss
your hostess" said one of the guests
after an elaborate luncheon, but did
you ever see such silver? Mine was
actually greasy! Such carelessness is
disgIaceful."
"Silver is hard to keep bright"
murmured the woman who hated un-
kind criticism.
Nonsense, it isn't, and if it were,
that is no excuse. Think how Caro-
lyn's silver shone at her dinner, and
she only keeps one maid. | asked
her how she did it, and she said it
was by mixing her silver polish with
alcohol instead of water. You rub it
up in the usual way, but the mixture
gives a much more brilliant look.
When she takes it out of the bags,
even after weeks slowed away, all she
need do is to give must of the pieces
a rub or two with a piece Of roughed
chamois.
She rinses the parts of the fiat sill
yer that go in the mouth with boiling
water after using the chamois, as
sometimes it gives a queer taste.
That silver last night could never
be cleaned once q week, even much
less given a special holiday shine. If
the butler was too lazy to see that the
silver was polished, at least he should
have given it a boil in hot washing
soda and water to cut the grease and
make it look clean"

A TARGET

The colored public schools of
the city have been an eyesore to
people who have come to this
city more than any other insti-
tuition i nthe country. Everybody
wants to get into them and very
few want to defend them.
The teachers are more abused
than any other public servants
and more sought after than flies
after sugar. They are the tar
gets of every new conner and
they are the hardest worked in
dividuals of any in our local gov
ernment.

w. T. Vernon. But, why abuse
him? What has he done to make
himself persona non grata with
the administration?
1t is said by the politicians, or
some few of them, that he is to
be succeeded by a gentleman of
color from the South whose
name The Bee declines to give.
While The Bee would regret the
removal of Register Vernon, it
could not object to the appoint
ment of this Tennessean, because
he is worthy of any position in
the gift of the administration.

Weekly Holiday Enforced.

In New Zealand everybody is
bound by law to take a weekly half
holiday, and there must be no shirk-
ing the obligation. The Grand hotel,
Auckland, was recently crowded with
guests, and several walters, instead
of obeying the law and taking their
prescribed weekly half-hOliday, re-
mained at work on the promise of
extra pay. But the authorities came
to hear of it and the proprietor of
the hotel had to appear In court
where he was convicted and pun

soUra AMERICAN INyIGoRANE
How Coca Is Oultivated-Used a.
Preventive of Sleep and Fatigue.

Coca is the South American in.
vigorant. The shrub from which
the coca leaves are obtained grows
under favorable conditions to
height of about four meters. 1t Is
cultivatd in Peru and BOLIVIA.
At the time the crop is gathered
the seeds are sown in beds, when
they germinate and grow, and in
two months the growing plants
reach a height of about a foot. The
leaves, grown in the proper sunlight
and shade, are yellowish, small and
thick.
This is the kind OF leaf that ts
preferred for chewing by persons
using the leaf as a stimulant, fortI-
fer and preventive OF sleep and
fatigue in the performance Of ardu-
Gus work, inasmuch as they prevent
rheumatism, from which miners
suffer when working in mines that
contain much water. Indians who
masticate the leaves of this plant
can work twenty-four hours without
eating or sleeping.
Coca leaves are used by the ma
tives when engaged In long and fa-
tiguing Journeys and by soldiers
when subject to hardships and pri-
VatiOns. They may be used with all
kinds of food and are said to cure
dyspepsia, either taken as an in
fusion in the shape Of tea or by
masticating the leaves. The life Of
the plant when perfect is eighty
years.

Japanese and Their Prisoners.

The japanese have a rather kindly
way OF treating prisoners who have
not been convicted. The regulation
prison dress is kind Of strawberry
red-colored kimono, but many wear
light blue, as a sign that although
under suspicion, they have not yet
been found guilty. When prisoners
in this class have occasion to pass
through the public streets curious
extinguisher-like baskets are placed
upon their heads.

Veal CUPS with MacaronI.

If veal or mutton is left over in
scant quantities for meal, boil sufi-

and put through the food chopper,

chopped parsley, and to each pint add
a well beaten egg and two tablespoons

WHY ABUSE HIM?

Register w. T. Vernon should
need no defense from The Bee
and neither should others who
were brave enough to decline for
President Taft and the Roosevelt
administration. Some Southern
white man now comes forward
and asks the President to ap-
point a white man to succeed Mr..
Vernon. If there ever was 2 man
who was loyal and true to the
Roosevelt regime, and to Presi-
dent Taft, that man was Register

BROTHERHOOD OF MAN

BROTHERHOOD OF MAN
No nobler sentiments ever fell
from the lips of man than those
utterd by Judge Wendell Phillip
Stafford, of our District Supreme
Court, before the National Con-
ference on the Status of the
American Negro, in New York
City.
The Bee is indebted to the
Boston Massachusetts, Advocate
for the excerpt that it publishes
in this weeks issue of The Bee.
All Americans are living under
one constitution and under this
constitution it cannot be constru-
ed that portion of it applied to
the white man and another por-
ton applies to the colored man.
These utterances, by this dis
tinguished jurist are no subter-
fuges, his decisions and conduct
upon the bench are in keeping
with his speech before this Ma
tiOnal Conference. It is true as
Judge Stafford says, that the Ne
gro is Disseminated against be-
cause he is a Negro. This op-
position of the Negro and dis
discrimination against him can
not last long. The oppressor will
suffer for what he does to the
oppressed.
The lee extends its congratu
'ations and gratitude TO Judge
Stafford and hope that he may
live to see the fatherhoUd of God
and brotherhood of man, one and
inseparable adjuncts to our con
stitution.
