Editor The Bee:
Many have been the obstacles
thrown across his pathway to i'm
pede the progress of the Negro, but
through all of this he has run we'll
for nearly a half century. Ziz-zag
lightning has at times bedimmed his
onward march to progress, and far
in the distance, yonder. he hears the
muttering thunder-a voice out of
which seems to say: Fear not for
10, l am with you even unto the end
of the world"
Like the Pilgrim travellers to a
better land we must put our trust
in God In short, we must have
faith in God and confidence in each
other Yes, we will soon have
reached the 6ftieth milestone of free
dom, and during our steady and
onward march the world has thrown
the searchlight upon us to see wheth-
kept the faith, and, so we'll have we
er or not we deserve the confidence
imposed in us. SO we'll have we
striven to be good and law-abiding
citizens-to say nothing of the pref
udices and unjust treatment against
us, till even the most bitter enemies
have cried out well done thou
good and faithful men and women
of the cOlOred race We pray Gods
mercy and aid while we are endeav-
oring to measure arms with the best
and most progressive citizens of our
land and country. But there are a
lot of fools to be found here, there,
and yonder, among the Negro race
and the sooner this class finds
lodging place in the cemetery it will
be better for all of us. Who are
they? You ask. Why, there is one
class which don't like to have the
to read the colored newspapers-the
very papers that should be in the
homes of every intelligent family
throughout the United States of
America. Every school teacher, and
every preacher, and every doctor,
and every business colored man and
woman of our race should feel it
their duty to have The Bee in their
homes every week. And what I say
of The Bee, | say the same in be-
half of every deserving Negro jour
nal in the United States. Let us,
my dear colored friends, be paid"
subscribers to our colored newspa-
pers. These papers cannot live with
out your aid, nor will you be Justly
defended in your rights as men and
women without them. Let every
colored citizen and as many of the
coed whites as will, in the District
of Columbia, read The Bee. Of
course, all of our colored lawyers are.
cash subscribers to The Bee. You
couldn't make one believe otherwise
of them.
We come, now, to another lot of
these fools This lot consist of that
class which doen't like to have the
services of a colored doctor. This
lCt of fools would much rather be
killed by a white doctor than to be
cured by good colored doctor. There
IS still another fool This fool, poor
thing, calls for a white undertaken.
%, he says, "Ah want to be buried
by white undertaker-des white
undertakers put you away so nicely |
pears like you can rest better when
they bury you-even if de divil is
got you.
If the fool killer was to happen
along these days he would kill near
ly all of our folks. Let all of rs
endeavor to get closer together each |
day, and lay aside the foolish things !

the so-called intelligent, highly
cultured and educated colored
woman otherwise the fiaters have
organized a w. T. c. H., No. 2.
Just what this organization in
tends to do, The Bee
judge by the past. 1t will meet,
resolute and resolve to do that
which is without results. There
IS one thing that it will do, and
that is to scramble over the Of
fees and fight Tor the position
that has a little salary attached
to it. The woman that declined
to run for the presidency in this
new caste organization showed
her good sense, because she is
not known outside the precinct
of her church, and at no time has
she contributed to the welfare
or benefits of the lowly in the
slum5. There are all kinds and
shades of organizations in this
city organized by some OF the
women connected with this w
T. c. L., No. ?. There are two
or three women in this city do
ing some good, they are from
the best families in this city.
Two OF them are Baptist, and the
other a Methodist. One is at the
head of a labor organization and
the other two have started
schools for colored women.
When so-called educated col
ored women organize caste or
ganizations, what can be said Of
those who are among the lowly?
Why should a w. T. c. u, No.
: be organized? II w. T. {. L.,
No. I, deem itself too pure and
righteous to meet with the col
ored members in No. ?, does it
not brand the colored women i'll
No. ?, as inferior? Are these col
ored women looking for a little
cheap notoriety? 1t is hoped
that the other colored women in
this city or those who have not
joined will remain out of this
Jim Grow" organization.
These colOred women are sim
ply Jim Growing themselves.
Does No. expect to reform the
drinking element, if so, how will
it go about doing it? Will the
members 60 into the slums and
attempt to raise the fallen wom-
en-? No; they will assemblesand
denounce the whiskey traffic,
read papers and deal i'll glitter
ing generalities Their stock in
trade will be, you tickle me and
I'll tickle you" They will cater
to those who will declare that
they are pretty and then finding
one decorated with diamond
rings, when in fact all they have
on will be brass, and steel stick
pins in their hats and bonnets,
They will denounce those who
tell the truth and would have the
world to believe that they are the
great immaculate. Many OF
these temperance organizations
are hypocritical They don't
practice what they preach. Now,
what is the mission of the w. T.
{. L., No. ?, and what is its pow
er? Its mission is to display its
intellect. and its power comes
from the w. T. c. L., No.
Members of No. ? are not allow
ed to associate with those in No.
I. 1t can go no further than No.
will permit it. Its mission is
supposed to be among the color
ed people. No. ? is too fastidi-
Gus to associate with its own
people, except at a distance. The
real people in Washington
should not Jim Crow" them

soon as the approach OF the Spanish
was heralded, the tribesmen broke in
to detachments seeking shelter in the
valleys and defiles. A large number
took refuge in the Alfor Ravine
where 400 soldiers were killed on
July %.
Through the night the Spaniards
loaded railroad cars with provisions
and field guns and ammunition. These
will be carried over the North African
railroad. keeping time with the march
and constantly guarded by heavy con-
voys. To have these cut off and cap
tured by Moors would be equivalent
to disaster.
The Spanish force is approximately
5000. The entire strength OF the
Moorish force is not known although
it has been reinforced from the tribes
men who were beleaguering Alhuce-
mas and Benon de La Gomera.
Spain has pitted her entire strength
in the present campaign and Gen.
Marina asserts that he will be able
to put down the war before the end of
September. The campaign will be a
sharp one and will be marked by a
heavy slaughter for the Spaniards
will give no quarter and the troops
will die fighting rather than be cap
tured and tortured to death by the
natives

Lisbon, Aug. 1S.-The future of
of Spain depends upon the campaign
which was started in Morocco today,
according to dispatches received here.
General Marina. with a large part OF
his army of nearly 10000 men moved
from Melilla against he Moors.
With the gunboats and cruisers in
the harbor belching forth a contin-
uous fire upon Mount Gurugu. the
Moorish stronghold. the soldiers
marched to the attack
Two columns of 1000 men each
started from Punta Negra and Restin-
ga, two cities respectively east and
west of Melilla. Gen. Marina, dis
patches say. was at the head of a
column of 100 men.
Cruiser Bombards.
A Spanish cruiser moved from the
harbor and is bombarding several Riff
villages along the coast.
Six thousand troops are being held
at Melilla awaiting word from Gen.
Marina as to where they shall be trans
ported.
This is the first offensive operation
of the Moroccan army. The others
have all been defensive.
The burden of sustaining a nation
rests upon the shoulders of Gen.
Marina and he keenly felt that burden
judging from the proclamation which
he issued to the troops while they
were being concentrated for the at
tack He bade them remember the
glory of Spain and uphold it; to die
the glorious death of brave soldier
and fear not the enemy. He called
upon them to display anew the valor
which made the armies of Spain fam
GUS in previous wars and to aid new
laurels to their country by their cour-
age and daring.
Crown Of Alfonso.
The crown of King Alfonso figur.
atively was carried upon the bayonets
today from the city walls. With the
fall of the campaign falls the power
Of Alfonso. his ministers and his loyal
followers throughout Spain.
Provisions and munitions had been
dealt out to the troops In sufficient
quantities for long campaign. In
the harbor lay the armed transport

OF the cannonade shook the town and
faraway on the heights of Mount Cur.
ugu the projeetiles could be seen
striking the mountain side and casting
up dirt by the ton. Under the cover
OF this furious cannonade the troops
moved to the assault. The usual bril-
liancy of Spanish troops on parade
was banished; the soldiers were
marching in grim war.

Hon. John w. Foster. former secre-
tary of state, and ex-minister to diff
ferent capitols in Europe, in reply
to E. M. Haas, secretary of the Com
mercial clubs Invitation to visit this
city and deliver an address on peace
some time this fall or winter, says
that he cannot state just when it will
be convenient for him to appear here,
but, however. he will be able to let
the club know later. Mr.. Foster is
probably the most noted of all the
men who were ever engaged in the
diplomatic service of the United
States. He represented China recent
ly in a dispute with Japan, and, it is
reported, he received $500, 200 for this
service. He has been employed a
number of times as attorney in diplo-

nations.
Mr.. Foster is native of Indiana,
and still claims Evansville as his vot-
ing place, although his home is in
Washington, D. c.. He became con-
nected with the government service
after serving number of years as
congressman. He was minister to
Spain, and a number of other coun-
tries and then he was appointed sec

Mckinley. His letter to Mr. Haas is
as follows:
Letter From Foster.
Underbluff, Henderson Harbor, N. Y,
August Is, 1909.
E. M. Haas. Esq,
Sec'y Richmond Commercial Club,
Dear Sir:
Your letter of the 9th with the ac-
companying enclosures was duly re-
ceived.
The invitation they convey is high
ly flattering to me. and it would be
very agreeable to me to comply with
your request. l knew Richmond and
many of it's citizens many years ago,
visit 1t under such favorable auspices
But 1t will be impossible for me to
give you decisive answer at pres
ent. My health has not been good for
some time past, and I can not with
certainty make engagements far in
the future. I take a deep interest in
the cause of peace and international
arbitration, and should be glad to adj
dress your societies on the subject,
if possible.
When / return to Washington and
know better the state of my engage
ments and my health, say in October.
1 will write you again on the subject.
Be kind enough to make this letter
a reply to the other communications.
Very truly.
JOHN w. FOSTER.
