DIR. CRUM RESIGNED

DR.. w. d. Crum, of Charles
tn, South Carolina, has done
what he was told to do several
months ago. He was told not to
make a fight for reappointment:
but to remain quiet. Not taking
the advice of friends, he persist
ed in asking President Roosevelt
for reappointment, with the re-
suit of being turned down by the
Senate
The advice of The Bee is now,
for Or. Crum to retire from poll
tics and pursue the practice Of
his profession because politics
and medicine are bad combina-
tions. Nothing is more injurious
to the human system than poll
tics and medicine, It has been
rumored that DR.. Crum will seek
another appointment.
Why should he? What goo'
has he been to those who helped
him before? What good is he
to his people? The suggestion
of The Bee is t,lat he retire from
politics and practice medicine,
The people have become sick OF
the whole business. Two terms

LINCOLN PARK FOR TIL
MEMORIAL
w. H. Grimshaw.

The art commission appointed by
the President has reported that the
site suggested by some of our citizens
on the Union station plaza for the
Lincoln memorial would be an artis-
tic misfortune. In this, | as a citizen
of Washington, heartily agree, but |
understand the commission has recon-
mended that the memorial be placed
somewhere near the Washington
monument. or at least in that section
of the city. I must take issue with
the commission, and say that, in my
opinion, there is no spot in the Dis
trict so suitable or appropriate for the
location of the Lincoln memorial as
our present small but beautiful Lin
coin Park, nth and East Capitol
streets. The present statue there is
not fitting memorial. 1t is so small
that it can scarcely be seen a blocE
without glasses. I would suggest that
it be moved to cover along with the
statue of Washington, which was 10
Gated for so many years at the east
front of our national Capitol, and
that memorial that would be a fit
ting tribute to the name and memory
of Abraham Lincoln be erected in its
place.
If we are to look forward and plan
an even balanced and harmonious city
for those that are to come, then let
i not be said that we who are
here now were nearsighted in the
proper distribution of our statuary,
parks and public buildings. Lincoln
Park would act as sort of balance
to our Washington Monument on the
west, and in direct line with the Cap
itol. For thirty-fve years I have
longed, watched and waited to see
East Washington get something OF
mention, but up to the present, l am
sorry to say, that have almost wait
ed in vain.
The old Goddess of Liberty must
be very weary by this time looking
at the Washington Jail and the small
pox hospital. There is scarcely any
thing she can look at of a historical
nature since the Washington statue
in its nakedness has been removed.

ored people; but the same rule applies
to all other races. There is not
race of people on the face of the
earth without its criminal classes.
There is one characteristic that stands
out above all others as to our race.
and that is ''the Negro by nature is
not vicious like other races" In
fact, all the bad traits, and many of
the good possessed by our people,
were taught us by the white man.
However, the great majority of both
races are respectable, law-abiding

LIBERIAN COMMISSION

1t has been proposed by the
department of state to send a
Commission to Liberia for the
purpose of investigating the con-
ditions of that black republic
The question now is, what
character OF men shall go? The
Bee is of the opinion that the
| state department will select men
of the highest character and pos
sessing unquestioned ability.
Can such men be- found? Men
who will do credit to the colored
Americans? The Bee feels con-
fdent that this country can pro-
duce men who will reflect credit
upon the nation.
Every nationality has no doubt
been assisted by this country in
some way. Nationalities that
have been of no service to tie
country, but more OF draw
back. The colored American has
been loyal and patriotic and have
given up their lives to uphold
this republic.
The Bee would suggest DIR.
Booker T. Washington, as chair
man of that commission. He is a
man of broad and national eX-
perience, who knows the needs
of the colored people. DR.. James
E. Sheppard, of North Carolina,
| should be the second member of
that commission. DR.. Sheppard
has travelled through many parts
of Africa and other places OF
importance, and he also knows
the colored mans needs. DR..
Sheppard is highly educated and
a gifted writer.
Bishop Abraham Grant, of In
dianapolis, Indiana, should be the
third member of the commission.
Bishop Grant knows the colored
mans needs in Africa. He would
no doubt, give the true condi
tions as they exist in the blacE
republic.
With such a commission as
The Bee has named, there is no
doubt of general satisfaction be-
ing given.

TWO BEAUTIFUL WOMEN
Two noted beauties of New York
sat together in the same box at the
Opera recently. One had very white
skin with pink cheeks and brown

brown woman had the advantage.
Both Of these women used Complex

the skin lighter and No. 2 (Shell

DON'T CRIPPLE YOURSELF
WITH FALSE TDF

4AhU
There's a class of people who always
hesitate to use their credit because
they imagine it stamps them as need
ing help.
This may not come from a false
pride, but surely shows a mistaken
idea of the greatest factor in the busi-
ness of the world
Statistics show that ninety-fve per
cent. of the worlds business is done
on credit.
A well known writer tells us that
ct is impossible that the entire debt
of a community could be paid at
once And again. "A great advan-
tage of a capitalist is not altogether
his cash but the credit his capital
commands"
This last applies as we'll to the
regular income of the workingman.
He has just the same right to credit,
and the amount is in proportion to his
ability and promptness in meeting OBJ
legations.
No man need feel ashamed to buy
without using cash; rather he may
take pride in the fact that his credit
allows him to do so. But remember
that his credit is a sensitive COM
modify and will not stand abuse. 1t
always carries a promise on your

RACES INDEPENDENTS


The colored Americans of to-
day are confronted with a
peculiar leadership. If the pres
ent, so-cal1ed leadership would
adopt and argue the doctrine ot
DR.. B. T. Washington, conditions
would be better. The great
trouble with some of the present
leadership, is its tendency to gel
away from the cOlored race.
Some white people may appre-
ciate an amalgamated offspring,
The Bee means an offspring that
crows for white association. The
sensible white man recognizes
merit and ability to be able to do.
The question now is, "What is
the power of the present leader
ship? Where does it begin and
how does it exist?"
The President has given color
ed Americans some good advice.
Will colored Americans follow
it? So far as the Southern peO-
pie are concerned, they will not
remain so vicious and so mimi
cal to the Southern cOlOred
American, if he will make poll
tics an incident and not the di-
rect object of his citizenship.
Throughout the entire South, or
at least some parts of the South
colored Americans are making
remarkable progress. In the
state of North Carolina. colOred
citizens have started businesses
that commend them to the better
and more conservative element
of white citizens. The Colored
man in business is the key note
of the races progress.
Washington, District of Co
lumbia, is the Capital of this
great and powerful republic.
There are from eighty to eighty
FIVE thousand colored Americans.
What have they done and what
are they doing? Social functions
are the predominating features
of their ambition. If they were
as successful in conducting a
Legitimate business as they are
organizing social clubs and social
functions, what a success this
people would make.
The Bee doesn't object to So
cial functions; it merely points
out the prevailing ambition OF
many of the leading ColOred citi-
zens of Washington. In many
instances character is a second
airy consideration. A man who
drinks whiskey is often excluded
from many a social function
while the thug and libertine are
piven boss parts,
At a recent meeting of a socia
club the name of a very distin,
guished and we'll known citizer
from one OF the leading families
was rejected because it was
claimed that he got drunk. Many
of those who voted for his re
lection could not stand mustel
in defunct garbage association
and yet the young man was no
permitted to attend the socia
function given by the club. 1
turned out that the man who
made the strongest protest would
not be admitted to respectable
society. There may be a few
young men connected with this
association, who can stand the
rays of the calcium light and
they made the least objection.

with an agricultural school in Mary

much impetus at two mass meetings
held Sunday afternoon and last night
At Convention Hall. Senator Hey
