LEARN TRADES

Yes, the Negro needs a trade
and he needs it badly. Just think
of it! The City of Washington
with a Negro population Of ninety
thousand, and only one Negro
plumber, If you started out on a
hunt for him he could not be
found. Trades! why certainly,
the Negro needs all kinds OF
trades. Industrial schools are
what the Negro needs. Without
trades he is without a weapon of
defense.
The Ferguson and Williams
Academy, at Abbeville, South
Carolina, was among the first in
the South to introduce industrial

case in court. The action of the
bishops in employing a second
rate white lawyer with money
collected from colored men and
women, ignoring colored lawyers
altogether, even as an associate,
comes dangerously close to plac-
ing them in the list of hypocrites.
Now that the school question
is settled for the time being, II
behooves every one, with an
ounce of race pride and interest

NEGRO MEN

Some Negroes have peculiar
characteristics. Many of them
will see their women insulted bv
white men without the least re-
sentiment. If the Negro had more
respect for their women and girls
The Bee is confident that the
more fortunate whites would
have more respect for him. The
Negro himself has but little re-
spect for his females. Hundreds
of young girls graduate from the
public schools yearly, but what is
there for them to do? Those
who secure places are very often
insulted. Because a woman or
girl walks out there is no reason
that she should not be respected.
A white man will see a colored
girl upon the public streets and

Those saloons that took excep-
ton to the editorial endorsement
of the resolutions that were
adopted by the Retail Liquor
Dealers Association, are no good

standard of their business and
the sooner the drones get out the

WHAT TRAIN FOR SOUTH?.

WHAT TRAIN FOR SOUTH?
Bishop Lampton is being
roundly censred for his letter OF
abject apology written to the
white men OF of his town, on be-
ing ordered out of the place.
There is no question but what the
apology is abject-it is sickening
so, and yet there is an excuse,
for circumstances alter cases. 1t
is all very we'll for some Of these
Northern Negro Editors to
breathe fire and drink fire water,
while enjoying the protection of
their northern homes. But what
one of them-even to the Guar
dian man, will go South tOmor-
row, or next week and say and
write the things they say and
write in their northern homes ?
Bishop Lampton's property,
his houses, and his lands, repre-
senting years of denying and
saving, and upon which he must
depend to care fox his family and
support himself in his old age,
are located in the SOuth-right
in the town out OF which he was
ordered. These things no doubt
were a controlling factor in the
writing of that letter.
Some of these nervy, fre-eat-
ing, martyr-loving Negro editors
who exc out a precarious exist
ence, and who preach war and ex-
termination, ought to 60 South
and preach their doctrine of force
and reprisal, in order to be con-
sistent. This always bOmbarding
the enemy a thousand miles
away with guns that carry their
missiles but a mile, is a favorite
pasttime of some Negro editors.
If you have all the nerve you
claim, and if you are as courage
Gus as you would make people
believe, why not go into the
jung.es of the South and hunt,
STAY and kill the white Southern
er? If given a ticket, and gual
anteed their expenses, and a good
living, and a paid-up life insur-
ance policy in the bargain, even

DANGEROUSLY CLOSE

The African Methodist Episco-
pal bishops, who instituted the
case against the Southern Rail
road before the Interstate Com
merce Commission, collected
money from colored men to fight
the case, and then employed a
cheap white lawyer, who con-
ceded the case out OF court, as
their attorney. Why did they not
at least employ colored attor-
ney as an associate? The poor
est colored attorney to be found
could not have made a more sorry
failure than did this white attor-
ney. These African Methodist
Episcopal bishops live off their
race, are preaching union to them
every Sunday, and yet take their
money and employ an opponent
to help them lose their case. 1t
would have been better, far bet
ter, had they never filed their

GOVERNOR P. B. S. PINCHBACK
We have been informed that Gov

were affiliated with Governor Pinch
back III the support of Mr.. Taft be-
fore the Chicago Convention and
during the campaign after his nomi-
nation.
1t will be remembered particular
ly by the Republicans of South Caro-
lima, that Governor Pinchback came
to this State early in 1908, making a
thorough canvass of the State in the
interest of Mr.. Taft; and if he is
recognized by the Taft administration
1t will be but just recognition given
to a loyal supporter and will prove
to the colored Republicans of the
country that loyalty and fealty count
for something and will be so consid-
cred as long as Mr.. Taft is President
No loyal Republican throughout the
country would oppose the appoint
ment OF Governor Pinchback, and of
course the opposition of others would
amount to nothing when his name
IS brought up for consideration. A
lifelong Republican who has served
his party and country in the high
position of Governor of Louisiana:
elected United States Senator. and
having served the Government as
Collector of the Port of New Or
leans, all of these positions having
been filled with honor and credit. it
goes without saying that he will fill
any position he may be honored with.
