real men to live in.
Unless we are greatly mistaken, Messrs
Scott and Brand are up against it. The cor
poratlons successfully used negroes to beat
down the white worknen of Colorado and IL
linos, but we don't believe it can be done in
the South. Federal troops were rushed into
Chicago, over the heads of the State authori-
ties, to help the Pullman millionaires crush
their employees, but zoe don't t5iqh 1t qoouzd
do to bring the Yankees into the South TO
GIVE Us ANOTHER TASTE OF RE-
CONSTRUCTIONS DAYS.
We have no idea that Mr.. Taft can be bull
lied by the corporations into beginning his
administration with bloody chapter, such as
that would be-
Mr.. Scott is to blame for the present situa-
ton, and upon his head will rest the respon-
slblllty IT things grow worse.
1.) He did wrong when he adopted the
policy of giving the advantage to negro fire
men,
(2.) He did wrong when he allowed Brand
to advertise for "nervy men, to act as guards
for the negroes;
(3.) He did wrong when he rejected the
proposal to arbitrate, here at home, with
home men;
A. He did wrong to put negroes back on
the engines when the strikers had agreed that
mail trains should be run.
Inc truth is, Mr.. SCOTS point OF VaeGO as
a0romg and, what's more, IT IS OUT OF
DATE. The people have had enough of this
public be-damned" arrogance. They don't
intend to submit to any more of it.
Vast powers, privileges, and immunities
were granted to the corporations to act as COM e
mon carriers, serve the public and confer ben
etits upon society. Those franchises were not
sought or g5ven for the sole purpose of earn
ing dividends and enriching Wall Street swim
dlers
Mr.. SCOTS refusal to arbitrate makes him
directly responsible for the railroads failure
to run its trains. For this ae01o-user of fran
chise, THE CHATTER OF THE GEOR-
GA RAILROAD rs FORFEITABLE.
The foregoing editorial was written Sat
urday morning and mailed before the news
reached Thomson that ''the strike was set
tied" Whether or not the strike is, in fact,
settled remains to be seen. The action of Mr.
Scott in putting negro fireman on the first
train which pulled out of Atlanta, after the
truce, looks very much like q deliberate de-
15a11ce of the people, 1T NOT A CHAL-
LENGE. Mr.. Scott would be we'll advised if
he took into consideration the intense passions
which his course has aroused, all along the
line OF the Georgia Railroad.)

derbilt's ''the public be damned" 1t is the
arrogant bearing which naturally excites hos
tility. The scornful disregard of the natural
man by the law made corporation has gone to
amazing lengths in this country, and we do
not wonder at the self-confdence with which
the managers of these powerful combinations
of capital assert their own preferences, re-
CARELESS of what others may suffer.
From all that we can learn, there was no
necessity whatever for the collision between
the employers and employees on the Georgia
are damaged, spirit of violence has been
aroused, and critical situation made. And
why? Because the railroad management neg
zected the sample demands of JUSTICE
See what happened on the Central road
few months ago. The management decided
that expenses must be reduced. Perhaps there
was necessity for it. Wall Street sharpers,
led first by Pat Calhoun, seized upon the old
Central, ruined the stockholders, loaded the
property with mortgage for $16,OO0,0O0,
wrecked the road, had it sold, bought it in
and turned it over to j. P. Morgan for ire
organization" The Central, whose original
gained, and then set to work trying to earn
dividends on capitalization of more than
fifty million dollars. In other Words the task
of the Central management is not to earn
reasonable dividends on legitimate invest
ment, but to SO tax passengers and shippers
as to get something for nothing. The Wall
Street sharpers want revenues from watered
stocks and bonds from securities qOhich do
not represent one dollar of honest Investment.
Therefore, the Central has a big job on it's
hands. Its management must manipulate
matters in such way that the sharpers who
seized the road may realize rich profits from
their rascality.
When the Central decided that expenses
must be cut, where did the management apply
the knife? Was there any reduction of that
absurd and outrageous salary of $4,000 paid
to Major j. T. Hanson? No. ANY scaling
of the lavish and indefensible amounts paid
regularly to lawyers in Savannah, Macon and
Atlanta? No. Those scandalous rake-offs
were not touched at all. The common labor
ers,-they who were least able to bear it, they
who were dependent on their daily work for
the daily bread of themselves, their wives and
their children, these were the helpless vic
Tins of Ma or Hanson's spasm of economy.
Was 1T Just? No, it was not Just. 1t aoas
qOicked, 1t qOas heortzess' and the aOomder IS
that the employees Of the Central did not
STRIKE. They would have been justified,
and they would have had the support of every
man in this State whose soul is warmer than
his pocket-book
On the Georgia Railroad, it is the same DIS
regard of JUSTICE that has made the trou-
BILE. Some weeks ago we were told that the
management had adopted the policy of grad
ually supplanting white fremen with negroes.
We were told that if white fireman was the
least bit late, or otherwise at fault, he was i'm
mediately discharged; whereas, a negro fire
man might be even more tardy, or more seri-
ously at fault without being discharged. The
employees had also begun to notice that the

WASHINGTON IS THE SEAT OF OUR
NATIONS GOVERNMENT.

The eyes of the world are on Washington.
One-third of Washington's population is
Negro.
If all the Negroes in Washington were colon
ized in one place they would make city larger
than Richmond, Virginia.
There are seven theatres in Washington.
supported by white population of 24I,923-
and few foolish Negroes willing to be colon
lied in the galleries, the only place to which the
Negro is admitted
THERE IS NOT A SINGLE FIRST
CLASS OFFICE BUILDING in the city of
Washington, where a Colored professional or
business man or woman, and there are hum
dreds of them in the National Capital can OBJ
tain business quarters.
JUST THINK OF IT! 100000 enterprising
thrifty, intelligent people, through race preju-
dice, swept completely out of the business dis
tTlCt OF Washington; 100000 genteel, prosper
Gus, amusement loving people deprived Of
every form of theatrical entertainment unless
willing to submit to the most humiliating con-
ditions
Every colored man and woman IN Wash
ington.
Every coloTed man and woman VISITING
Washington.
Every Colored man and woman IN America
familiar with the true state of the Negro in
Washington, realizes that a theatre, store, and
Office building, operated by the Negroes, for the
Negroes, is A NECESSITY.
The welfare of the race demands it.
The self-respect of the race demands it.
ANY enterprise resting its hope of success
upon a NECESSITY is bound to be a sue
CESS.
A THEATRE AND OFFICE BUILDING
IN THE CITY OF WASHINGTON, built by
Negroes, for the use of Negroes, is a NECES-
SITY.
Approaching to the utmost that fact
THE LINCOLN MEMORIAL BUILDING
COMPANY proposes to erect in the Central
Business District of the city of Washington
magnificent theatre, seating capacity 500, and
a store and Office building of splendid proper
ton, adequate in every respect to meet the re-
quIrements OF prosperous professional and busi-
ness men.
The enterprise is exceptional in two respects:
First-It is absolutely safe.
SecOnd-It promises enormous possibilities
as money maker.
Features that must appeal to every man or
woman with few dollars to invest and Won
are such man or woman or YOU would not
have read this far.
THE LINCOLN MEMORIAL BUILD
ING COMPANY has surveyed the field care
fully, and it KNOWS that hundreds of tenants
are available for the Offices, that dozens of
merchants ready to rent the stores. and
that 100000 people are anxious to patronize
the theatre exclusively. and make it the best

paying amusement place in America.
IT KNOWS ALL THIS AND IT IN
VITES YOU TO PARTICIPATE in an en-
terprise ABSOLUTELY DEVOID OF RISK,
where every dollar viii be invested ii he best
of Washington Real Estate, that increases in
value annually at the rate of SIS per cent
nearly DOUBLE bank interest.
Even that is good enough for most people,
but the LINCOLN MEMORIAL BUILDING
COMPANY will do better than that. 1t will
have offices and stores and lodge rooms, which
will earn, on a conservative estimate, at least
$23,2oo per year. Equal to 5 9-Io per cent per
annum.
The Washington bee., 1909-12-18
IT is THE NEW EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION

ING COMPANY is ENTIRELY NEGRO.
Not one dollar Of white capital will be az
Cepted in exchange for its securities.
There is not one dollar of Promotion Stock
consequently there IS no watered stock.
Every holder of stock from the President
down must pay at LEAST $1,000 per share for
every share of stock allotted to him.
This does not mean that the price Of stock
will REMAIN at $1,000 per share. 1t is $1,000
NOW. It will advance in price far beyond
$1,000, just as railroad and public utility stock
goes to several times par. So will the Lincoln
Memorial Building Company's stock go 20
several times its present value.
This means that a share of stock costing
$1,000 NOW will be worth $4,000 when stock
goes to four times par. Estimates show that
the Company earnings will be 20 per cent, and
that is four times par, with every dollar in
vested in Real Estate. THE BEST in the city
of Washington, where values are as firmly fixed
as the Rock of Gibraltar
This does not mean that the price of stock
will remain at $1,000 per share. It is $1,000
NOW. If the Company, as Il is estimated,
pays 20 per cent, $1,000 sha-c of stock will be
worth $4,000. If it pays 20 per cent, single
share of $1,000 stock will be worth $4,000 lust
as railroads and public utility stocks increase
in value, so will the Lincoln Memorial Build
ing Company's stock increase in price.
The first allotment of stock at $1,000 a share
nent will be SI2.5o per share, to which point
IT will soon be advanced; therefore, you are
urged to avail yourself of the present oppor-
tunity to get in as completely on the ground
floor as any one of the Company's Directors
are.

1t will also have theatre, which, if patron
lied at prices ranging from 10 to 50 cents, by
only per cent Of the total colored population
