WORRY ABOUT HARVARD CAP
 TAIN.

Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 16.-Captain Fish was again absent. from the lineup of the Harvard football team during the two hours of practice in the sta- dium today. While the medical att tendant of the team states that Cap tain Fish's condition is not serious, and although Fish reported at the locker building today, the undergrad uate body is somewhat uneasy because of rumors that the captains playing ability has been impaired.
 To fill Fish's place at right tackle, L. Wilmington was taken from left guard, and Perkins, a substitute cen ter, assigned to Withington's place. The team lined up against the scrubs, the latter using supposed Yale for nations. Although the work was hard it was not in the nature of a game, no tackling being allowed, and the coaches interruption the play fre- quently for advice.

the Negro politically. The Bee be-
lieves firmly that President Taft viii
make good in every particular; the
Express wishes ever so much to en-
tertain the same opinion, but feels a
little doubtful President Taft may
not be able to do all that needs to be
done for the Negro, but he will come
nearer to it than any president in our
opinion since Lincolns day. OF course
we should not expect President Taft
to pick cut all the appointments that
the Negro wants and save them for
him. The Negro must do some of the
picking for himself and then 90 to
work heroically after what he wants.
The Star ventures the assertion that
not a Negro in Texas has decided on
making straight fight for some GER
tain presidential appointment. They
are all waiting for Colonel Lyon to
pick out the place for them and then
pull them into it. If that isn't done
they'll stand around and whine about
Mr.. Lyon not giving them anything.
Go after something yourself and ask
Colonel Lyon to help you.

REGISTER w. T. VERNON


The Statesman, Denver. Colorado
The colored citizens Of Oklahoma,
because of the restrictive measures
and discriminatory legislation, have
been making an organized effort to
protect themselves from the encroach-
ment of that element in the state who
are apparently opposed to the prog
ress of the Negro citizens.
An organization headed by Honor
able z. T. Barbour, of El Reno, and
others, secured the services of Reg
Ister Vernon, who was met by a COM
pany of the most distinguished citi-
zens of Oklahoma, at Caldwell, Kan
sas, in a private car, secured for the
accommodation of the entire party
This aroused the interest of all Okla
homa and from the beginning of the
journey across the state and back
again, the register and party were
given an ovation. It was necessary
at Hennessy, Oklahoma, for Mr.. Yer
non to repond to the call for a rear
end speech and the train pulled out
amid the applause of the multitude
gathered there.
Finally they reached FL Reno and
a large crowd of citizens, white and
colored, met them at the train. The
school children sang as they marched
through the streets and the process
sion inspired by the music made its
way to the place of meeting. That
night the opera house was filed with
people of both races. Representative
citizens, headed by the Mayor of FL
Reno, occupied prominent seats in the

NEGRO INSURANCE COMPANY
GRANTED CHARTER
Standard Life Insurance Company
Operated and Financed by
Negroes-Capital 100000.


Atlanta, Ga, Feby. THE first old
line life insurance company to be
financed and operated by Negroes
was granted a charter yesterday by
Secretary of State Phillip Cook.
It is the Standard Life Insurance
Company, with a capital stock of
100000, and headquarters in At
lanta; and its incorporators are ]. o.
Ross, David I. Howard, H. A. Ruck-
er ((collector of internal revenue)
Lewis G. Watts, R. A. Holman,
Thomas H. Slater, A. d. Howard
P. A. Chappelle, William Driskill
and H. Z. Perry, of Atlanta; F. J..
Wimberly, of Gilmore; J. P. Davis
and NJ. B. Morton, of Athens; and
Emmett J. Scott, of Tuskegee, Ala
bama.
The organization of this company
is said to vaheradoodiwowaowaor ra
is said to have grown largely out of
the fact that in very few instances
will the established old line life in
surance companies accept risks upon
the lives of Negroes, and usually only
in the shape of high-priced endow-
ment policies. The Standard will
offer old line insurance to the Ne
groes without discrimination, and it
has, therefore, large and valuable
field.
1t is estimated that the men named
in the charter are worth, combined,
over 5000, 900. Much of the stock, it
is said, has already been subscribed.
The company will have to deposit
100000 with the state treasurer for
the protection of its policyholders, as
is required in all cases of insurance
companies chartered by the state.

CORRESPONDENTS 5

Readers OF Negro newspapers
have been regaled with Washmg-
ton correspondence, here OF late,
attacking Negro federal officials
here for no cause Their official
records are not attacked, because
these pseudo correspondents can
find nothing in their official rec
ords to attack. Not a line can
be said against their standing as
gentlemen, for one and all are
conducting themselves is a NOR
ally upright manner. The Wash
ington correspondents, or some OF
them, are just sending out a lot OF
rot criticizing men who are their
superiors for no other reason than
a despicable jealousy entertained
for these men because OF their
color. It IS bad enough for col
ored men to have to Criticise col
ored men when there is just cause
for it, but jealous criticism sent
out by colored correspondents, OF
cOlored officials, serves no other
purpose than to discredit such
correspondents in the eyes Of col
ored men who believe in race up
lift, and to invite criticism from
white newspapers simply because
the officials are colored.
Some of these Would--be cor
respondents are messengers in
the departments. If they were
to send out correspondence criti-
cising white officials who are their
in official life, they would be dis
missed from the service at once.
The Bee justiies criticism Of men
when there is just cause for it,
but it is opposed to this rot be-
ing sent out from Washington
each week by a lot of irrespOn-
sible understrappers who are not
worthy to latch the shoes Of Our
colored representatives in high
office. The Bee has threatened to
divulge the reason for all this, and
the names, if it is not stopped,
and The Bee will so farther-it
will take steps to have some Of
these rot-senders reported to the
powers that be. President Roose-
welt would not stand for it an in,
slant, and The Bee is confident
that President-elect Taft will not.

mean, jealous spirit, and without

ored schools in the entire country
Its growth is largely due to the work
of its president, w. T. Vernon, the
Kansas colored orator and register Of
the United States Treasury.
President Vernon came to Topeka
yesterday accompanied by other mem
bers of the faculty, the choral society,
the colored band and many other stu
dents. At five o'clock the House was
turned over to them. President Yer
non presided. The choral society IS
made up of about twenty students.
They sang half dozen selections and
rendered such melody as can be rem
dered only by colored people. The
House members and the many visitors
cheered them loudly after each selec-
ton.
Following this part of the program
the House called for a speech from
President Vernon. He informed the
body that the program was only half
completed; that the college band was
waiting at the door and with the per-
mission of the House would play sew
eral pieces.
The members of the band trooped
in with their instruments and music
stands and while no count was made
there are probably about thirty-hve
pieces in the band. The first selection
played was II Trovatore. Nothing Of
this nature was expected from the
band which was composed entirely of
boys and young men and the House
was agreeably surprised. Expressions
of praise were heard on every side.
Two more selections were played, but
the fourth was dispensed with be-
cause of the Iateness Of the hour.
The students and the faculty came
to Topeka with a purpose, of course,
and after the program was completed
President Vernon made that purpose
known. He stated that he wanted
the members of the Legislature to see
the kind Of young men and young
women the school was turning out in
order that they might know the ap-
preparations made were not wasted.
He did not urge heavier appropria-
tons than have been made heretofore,
but simply thanked the Legislature
for its kindnesses in the past and ask
ed for a continuance of them. In
closing he presented Speaker J. n.
Dolley with a gavel made by the boys
in the Industrial department.
In accepting the gavel, Speaker
Dolley expressed the opinion that no
money appropriation for the educa-
ton of the colored people at Quin-
daro had been wasted that the House
was proud of the students who had
entertained it and that the place for
the colored people is on the farms of
Kansas where they may have equal
advantages with the white farmer.
A musical program was given last
night in the Senate chamber by the
colored students of Western Univer-
sity at Quindaro. Opening the pro
gram were a few remarks by Profes-
