Colonel Mollison vigorously de-
nounced the impetuosity of some of
our people in trying to sit in judg-
ment upon the policy of President
TAFT toward the Negro race, before
he has had chance to get warm in
lis seat. The newspapers cannot be
trusted to quote the President cor

tors are prone to construe broad,
general declarations to mean jus!
the opposite to what is in the mind
Of the speaker. He expressed faith
in the sincerity of the President
when he swore to support the consti-
tuition. and it was ColonOel Mollison's s
honest belief that in due season Mr..
Taft will be in a position to take up
the questions which most vitally con-
Germ the Negro and give our people
square deal' in every particular
His advice to the colored people was
''to possess their souls in patience"
and all will be we'll.
Lawyer Mollison came to Wash
ington as a member of the Charles
Banks party of Mississippians who
called to pay their respects to the
President, and seemed greatly pleased
over the result of the heart-to-heart
talk that Mr.. Taft gave them. Colo
mel MoIlison is a man of considerable
wealth, and wields a wholesome in
fuence among the Negro people
throughout the state of Mississippi
and the South.

AFTER DANCYs PLACE

1t is surprising how large an esti-
mate some colored men place on
themselves. They have no regard
for the eternal fitness of things, and
by their assumption affirm the old
saying that "fools rush in where
angels fear to tread" The contest
for Recorder Dancy's place has de-
veloped a lot of mediocre applicants,
and some even below mediocre. They
do not stop to consider that the posi-
ton is a high, representative and
responsible Office, and that the pres
ent incumbent is one of the ablest

DON'T TOUCH YOUR BANK
ACCOUNT

The newly married couple will
often go to the very end of their cash
balance to start life in a comfortably
furnished home.
It's right to have the kind of things
which will make that home the most
attractive place in the world, but it
is not right to use the last dollar for
for that purpose.
Sickness may put you in a bad
place, without warning, and that fur
niture isn't going to pay the doctors
bill.
Keep the "nest egg in the bank
and pay for the home furnishings
from your salary-a little each week
or month.
You can get just as low prices on
the goods, with this privilege, if you
go to the right firm. The Peter Gro
gan and Sons Company, at 8I9
Seventh street, are always ready to
help people who are furnishing
home. They'll trust you, and they'll
do it in a way which you'll appre-

Some of these applicants have no
other qualification than cheek. Some
Of them could not write a letter of
fifty words orthographically and
grammatically correct to save their
lives. If they had to stand an ex-
animation, what a lot of dismal fail
ures would be recorded.
The report has gone out, by way
of uniformed Negro courierS, that
Mr.. Dancy is to be succeeded, al
though the President, who ought to
know, has made no announcement
pro or con.
If Mr.. Dancy is to be succeeded
by colored man, The Bee hopes.
for the sake of the race, that his
successor will be a man fully as able,
fully as honest, and as fully a race
man as he is. The Bee is not ad-
vocating Mr.. Dancy's retention,
neither does it advocate his dismissal.
We have no personal interest in the
matter. We would be satisfied to
see him remain, or any other col
ored man who has made an homes!
conscientious and capable official.
But why don't these applicants
seek some other place? Why do they,
like buzzards around a carrion, hover
about this one place Why don't
they try to open up new places for
the race?
However, at the time of going to
press, Mr.. Dancy was still the Re
corder of Deeds, and the fifty odd
colored applicants for his place were
simply carded, "After Dancy's place"

DANCY AND THE
RECORDERSHIP

From the Gazetteer and Guide
Editor Chase says that Dancy
should be rewarded for sticking to
Roosevelt and Mr.. Taft: why he has
been at the crib all of his political
life; common decency, if bereft of
modesty, should actuate Dancy in
stepping down and out. Tsshe an in
dispensable servant? If the Record
ership does not go to a District man,
and that man who is really deserving
is the man, who is fighting for Dancy.
Mr.. Chase, if it is to West, no better
man than Colonel Marshall could be
named. Dancy, like many other
barnacles would never let go.
