| DIED FOR WANT OF
BREATH

Within the last three months
the daily press heralded to the
world three publications, all of
which claimed that they were
born to fill a long felt want.
The Voice of Liberty died
still born: one issue saw light.
The National Enterprise is strug-
CLING between life and death. It
has occasional wind colics. The
Washington American is upon
its last legs and Auditor Tyler
took compassion on the Editor
and gave him a job in his Office,
All of these publications were to
fill a long felt want, but they
died for want of breath.
The Negro Business League
Journal is to be edited by The
Bees good friennd Mr.. w. Sid
nev Pittman. 1t has come to fill
a long felt want and it is The
Bees hope that The Business
League Journal will realize its
fond hope. 1t is a very easy mat
ter to look at a newspaper that
some other fellow is editing and
argue with ourselves that we can
do better, but just wait until we
attempt a publication. Just wait
until we get out the fTst issue
then comes the struggle for the
second; almost death to get out
the third and ten chances to one
that it doesn't die before it can
reach the fourth publication. The
society dude will tell you that
they will support you, they will
give you their names; but just
wait until the collector makes
his report to the office, then you
begin to think, scratch, "cuss"
and almost steal your own hear
and sell it to a medical college
for dissecting purposes.
The next advice you are giver
is: "Why don't you publish i
! daily? 9h, there is nothilg ir
/ your paper. please stop it."

Howard University is an in
stitution for colored people and
the colored people should be
given an opportunity OF demon
strating to the world what they
can do. President Thirkield de-
serves credit for what he is doing
for the colored youth but The
Bee does insist in demanding
recognition for its professional
men when they are found to be
competent. The country de-
mands that a colored architect
be selected.

ADVISES MR. TAFT?

A delegation of colored citi-
zens from Mississippi, called to
see President Taft last week to
advise him on his Southern
policy. II the delegation did not
impress President Taft any more
that it impressed the Editor OF
The Bee, it is doubtful whether
the advice given him had the
, desired effect. A man who is to
be advised first looks at the
personnel of the delegation or
his visitors.
The first duty of any delegates
or class of citizens is to be pre-
sentable. Ther8 were two or
three in the deles satioa that were
dressed in their~kunday clothes.
The others hal ieir store OF
farm clothes, "a doubt i'm
pressed the with this
thought: @AI tfe men the
representative 6olored1men from
the South, who have come to adj
wise me? If so, l don't want to
see the farm hands"
| When that Mississippi delega-
ton arrived in the city its first
step should have been to have
gone to some first class hotel to
arrange their toilet. Many OF
the members of the delegation
may have been bankers, lawyers,
doctors and preachers; their po-
sitions in life didn't give them a
license to call at the Executive
Mansion dressed in their store
clothes.
Just what advice they gave to
President Taft, as to his South
ern policy, The Bee is unable to
state. This delegation did not
compare with the delegations
from Mississippi in the days of
Burr, Hill. Lynch. Mollison, Col
well, Revell. These men counted
for something. Because a man
is a banker there is no reason
that he should, in these days of
enlightened civilization look like
a rail splitter.
What advice did the Missis-
sippi delegation give President
Taft? Was the President ad-
vised? Certainly the country
would like to know.

THAT TUDGESHIP?

lust give a cOlored man po-
sition out of the ordinary and he
will magnify before the world.
Some few weeks ago, Congress
changed the name Of the Jus
tices of the Peace to that of Mu-
nicipal Justices or a Municipal
Court. The change OF the FIVE
white justices has not caused as
mush fuss among the white peo-
pie of the city as the designation
of the one colored Justice has
among the ten millions of color
ed people They are the same
justices but a different name,
with almost the same salary.
One paper, the Afro-Ameri-
can, of Baltimore, Maryland, has
in blazing head lines "a Colored
Federal Judge" Now whoever
heard of a Justice of the Peace
being designated as a federal
Judge? The judges of our police
court have greater power than the
justices of the municipal court
and just why colored Editors
and iackieg colored correspond
ents are making asses of them
selves The Bee doesn't know
; If you call a horse an animal, he
is a horse just the same. If yor
call a rose by any other name II
will smell just as sweet and i
remains a rose just the same
| The Justices of the Municipa
Court are Justices of the Peace
Just the same and the only
increased function of their Off
ces is, that litigants may sue fol
FIVE hundred dollars now where
they could not sue for but three
hundred heretofore.
So why this Tempest is tea
pot?" If a colored man were ap
pointed a Judge indeed and ii
fact, the insane asylum would
not be large enough to hold the
wildcat stories that would bt
published in papers edited by
colored men.
For Gods sake let us have /;
rest on the judgesnip. It is nc

nary justice of the peace. Moth

PROUD OF THEIR SONS

The Bee extends its congratu-
lations to the Harvard College
debating team in which Mr.. T.
NJ. Gregory, the son of our well
known townsman took part last
month. Professor ]. NJ Gregory
and his estimable wife, Mrs.
Fannie Gregory, should feel
proud of the history and records
that have been made by their
sons.

THE TIM CROW" NEGRO

IHE JIM CROW" NE6RO
Just why colored people will
insist on going in where they are
not wanted, is very surprising to
The Bee. The colored man Jim
Crows" himself by patronizing
places that discriminate against
him. 1t is the second class white
man or woman who disIikes to
associate or sit with or by the
colored people. The we'll bred
white man or woman never gives
his or her next door poor neigh
Dor a discriminating thought.
The servants of the better ele-
ment of white people arrogate
their superiority over the highly
educated and refined colored man
or woman. There are some color
ed people, it is true, who would
rather associate with an inferior
class of white people than with
the equals of their own race. The
Bee knows quite a number of
half white colored Americans
who cannot be distinguished
from white and the poor white
people who don't know them are
glad to be in their company.
a person who likes chicken
will never have a taste for frogs,
and if you ask him to eat a frog
leg when it is distasteful to him,
will become sick at the very
thought But there are people
who have eaten an entire frog,
believing that they have eaten a
chicken.
So it is with lots of people who
claim to dislike a COlOred person
and many of them associate with
them today but don't know it.
The Bee will not say that col
ored people are perfect any more
than it will admit that all white
people are perfect. But, just why
so many colored people insist
upon entering those Jim Crow"
theaters, The Bee is unable tc
state. The cartoon on our front
page will give the readers of The
Bee an idea how the Jim Crow"
colored person looks. This is a
true picture of all Jim Crow"
colored people who seek to be
white and want to go where they
are not wanted.

ASSASSINS

1t IS the COWardly assassin
who creeps up from behind a
victim and stabs him in the back,
OF hides in ambush and shoots
his helpless victim. A cores
pondent of a New York paper,
edited by a colored man, pur-
ports to state in his letters to
his paper an inside history of
the colored schools of this city.
This same individual criticises
two colored members of the
Board of Education, Messrs.
Cook and Horner.
The author of these letters
makes these cowardly attacks
under a nom de plume" If he
were a man and what he wrote
was true, he would sign his own
name. 1t is the assassin, who as,
The Bee states and the coward
who hides behind the bush. Hon
est men can stand the rays of the
calcium light. They have no
fear. They are armed SO strong
in honesty that the fear Of an
expose passes by them as the
idle wind" Why doesn't this al
legged correspondent sign his
name and allow The Bee to re-
view him and compare his repu-
tation and character, his ability
and other qualities with those on
whom he is making weekly at
tacks. Mr.. John F. Cook and
Mr., r. r. Horner, are two hon
orable members of the Board of
Education. They don't belong
to any clique. Their regulations
for honesty and integrity will
stand upon par with the distin-
tinguished president of the
Board. These two members
protect the colored teachers
against the tricks and demagogy
of some who only protect the
teachers when something is in
sight. These gentlemen are not
menaces to the Superintendent
of the colored schools. They hold
the colored superintendent in
check and it is to the regret Of
the people that there are not
more colored persons members
OF the Board like them. These
two colored members of the
Board who have been attacked
by this correspondent who does
not disclose his name, have been
the means of saving many teach
ers from being dismissed from
school on imaginary charges and
petty jealousies of some colored
school officials.
Fer some time a few white
member of the Board of Educa-
ton have been contemplating
white supervision over the col
ored schools. This thought has
been entertained because many
OF the colored supervisors have
been domineering and tyrannical
over colored teachers. Indeed,
the colored teachers almost wei
come white supervision, and il
this colored tyranny in the col
ored schools continues, a change
may be looked for almost any
time.
There are today over fifty col
ored teachers reduced and trans
ferred to other minor places by
the understrappers in the schools.
Some of the best teachers in the
schools have been reduced and
pets have been promoted.

His Address to Colored People-Dr
James E. Sheppard Responds.

His Address to Colored People-Dr.
James {. Sheppard Responds.
The appearance yesterday at noon
.of DR.. Charles w. Eliot at White
Rock church was one of the most
notable of the visit in Durham.
The church was we'll filed and a
very responsive audience sat before
him. 1t was representative fully. On
the right sat the Trinity College fac
ulty members who could be present,
and many of the students were with
them. DR.. w. P. Few sat on the
rOstrum with the speaker who gave
evidence of his charm with the musi-
cal programme. It consisted of con-
gregational rendition of "All Hail the
Power of Jesus Name" solo, Gre
member Now Thy Creator" by the
Dulcet quartet and "Jesus Saviour
Pilot Me" by the choir.
DR.. James F. Sheppard's introduc-
tion of DR.. Eliot was as fine a tribute
as intelligent grasp of the mans
humanity to man, as he has had since
his work became worldwide. The
colOred man, who is himself a great
humanitarian and working upon a
big scheme, said: "The man who is a
friend and a helper to his fellow
man comes nearer being the friend of
the Creator and reflects the grandeur
and wisdom of his creation, more
than any other. The highest tribute
that can he paid man, is to say he is
is a friend and a helper.
The distinguished guest of the
hour comes fully up to this ideal, for
during the five decades or more of
his public life, his rallying cry has
been give all men a chance and the
common spirit of humanity be recog-
nized."
"Championing always the right,
many of the ideals for which he
stood in the outset, were rejected by
those who failed to understand, but
the happy and favored privilege has
heen given to him to see the ideals
for which he has worked, triumphant
" crowned and become the beacon
lights of the nation. To him has been
given a glimpse of the promised
land-the country to be, to see the
fruitage of the sowing. the ripening
Of the grain, all men up and the edu-
cation of the masses, the standard OF
the people.
"It is needless to multiply words,
they express but little what we wish
to say in introducing our honored
guest. 1t is all honor and privilege
to present to you the friend and the
helper of all men in the fullest sense
the dean of the educational system OF
/ the United States. DR. Charles W
Eliot"
DIR. Eliot declared in the outset that
he had been travelling six weeks and
in no place had he found the legs
iation in favor of education so bench
cent as in North Carolina. "Here
in North Carolina is seen the bes'
legislation in all schools, the most in
teresting white and colored schools
and no where are they better than II
your city of Durham" j"
At the conclusion of DR.. Eliot's ad-
dress. DR.. James E. Shepard arose
| and spoke feelingly of the sympathy
that the leaders Of white thought are
giving his people here. He gave h'
glory to General Julian s. Carr, II

ed his loyalty and fairness to-
wards colored teachers, has be-
come disgusted more than once
with the means ofarfafrfrdfgtafw I
with the meanness OF many OF
the colored school officials. The
colored schools are in need of the
retention of or the appointment
of such men as Messrs. Cook and
Horner.
If Mr.. Cook retires from the
Board of Education, the people
would be glad to see him sue
ceeded by such a man as DR..
Francis or George F. T. Clarke.
The Bee challenges the cores
pondent to come from under
cover to name the incompetent
teachers in the schools. There is
not an incompetent teacher in
the entire corps of colored teach
erS.
The Bee ventures the assertion
that this Negro correspondent,
whoever he may be, was severely
snubbed by some female teacher
in the cOlOred schools,
! NOT GUILTY
The above was the caption of
an Editorial Comment in The
Bee last week to a communica-
tion signed "a Well Wisher.
The Bee was charged with hav-
ing been guilty of condoning
crimes committed by colored
people. All sensible colored peo-
pie who have read The Bee for
the last thirty years know that
The Bee has been foremost in
condemning crime in high as well
q
as in low places in this country.
! Particular attention was called
to the crime or the alleged brutal
murder of some white man i'll
Alexandria, Virginia. It will be
remembered that the police de-
partment had decided that it was
a case of suicide and as such con-
clusion excited the'prejudices of
the citizens of Alexandria. the
police department OF that city
got a move on it and a self-con-
fessed murderer was arrested and
he implicated three other per
sons and without COrrObOratlve
evidence the natural presump-
ton and conclusion on the part
of the people of Alexandria, Nir-|
ginia, was that the other three
Tcolored men are guilty.
The Bee must of course con-
denim and convict these men
without cOrrObOratYve proof. We
all know that there have been too
many convictions of innocent
people upon such evidence and
proof. We all know that there is
less crime perpetrated by colored
people than there is by white
people. The Bee doesn't hold
that all colored people are saints
any more than it does that all
white people are criminals. A
majority of the offences commit
ted by colored criminals are more
or less petty. Colored criminals
don't know how to make big
steals, and in rare cases a color
ed man may commit a grave
offence and is the first to explain
himself. A cOlored man IS never
placed in position to enable
him to commit a big crime in
comparisoI 70 those committed
by white men, and no one knows
this better than a We'll Wish
er."
Why should The Bee condone
crime? Has not The Bee suf-
fered for exposing crime in high
places which was condoned by
administrative as we'll as by ju-
dicial power? A well Wisher
should read history and then re-
lhect. No good citizen will CON
: done an ofense. No good citizen
will condone an atrocious. muir
