SIXTH MARYLAND DIS
TRICT.

Mr.. b. II. Warner, Jr., has
been nominated by a very small
margin, he having carried but one
county. The question in or mind
is, Can he be elected! Has he a
record that would warrant the
colored voters in the district to
vote for him? If elected, will he
be any benefit to the colOred peO-
pie? 1t should be a question of
men 50 far as this district is con-
cerned. Just how Frederick
County could 90 against Mr..
Blair, The Bee is at a loss to
know. 1t was quite evident that
Mr.. Blair is the most popular
man in the district, and had he
been nominated there would be no
doubt of his election.

SMART SET AT HOWARD.
Will Open With a Matinee Labor Day
Monday, September S.

For variety and dissimilitude of sit
uatiOns, novelties, surprises, electrical
effects and scenic adornment, the
three-act musical comedy, His Honor
the Barber" which will be presented
by the popular Smart Set Company
at Howard Theater, commencing Mon
day, September 5, is said to eclipse any
similar entertainment offered to the
public in years In point of fun and
spontaneous humor no production can
compare with it, if commendatory
press notices and large and enthusi-
aStIC audiences are any criterion At
the head of the company is d. H.
Dudley, who is fast earning the repu-
tation of being one of Americas 5 fore
most cOlOred comedians If Mr.. Dud-
ley, as Raspberry Snow, a shiftless
and matter-Of-fact coon, whose lofty
aspirations lead him into all sorts Of
rOuble. fails to make one laugh in spite
of oneself, it is because it is that one
Is of a Saturnine and melancholy dis
position. Raspberry dominates the en-
tire performance However there is
IA supporting company of sixty talented
people with capable singing and
dancing ChOruS who form delightful
background for the star. Edwin Han
ford contributed the book. and Messrs.
Brim, Smith and Burris furnished the
lyrics and music. There are fifteen
original numbers, and Mr. Hanford in
his book has devised plenty of side
splitting situations, features and COM
plicatiOns Messrs. Barton and Wis
well, who are directing Mr.. Dudley's
tour this season, have not overlooked
any detail and a splendid and enjoy
.aDl performance is assured. The cos
tunes are from plates furnished by
William II. Brown. Aida Overton
Walker, the famous dancer and singing
comedienne, is a valuable addition to
the company this season. Miss Wal
ker contributes a specially said to be
unique in every detail, besides being
prominently conspicuous in the fun
making.

COL. ROOSEVELT.

(From the n. y. JournaD
Colonel Roosevelt made his first
formal political speech in the United
States-on his return from Africa
before the National Negro Business
League" at Palm Garden, in New
York City.
Booker T. Washington told a thou
sand colored citizens, gathered in
Palm Garden, that they should be
proud that Colonel Roosevelt chose
first TO speak to the Negroes on his
return, rather than to white men.
The cOlored citizens who listened to
Mr. Roosevelt applauded him politely
and generously
Some enthusiasts suggested that he
be nominated for a third Presidential
term at once-withOut waiting.
But these "nominators" were not a
majority, and they did not appear to
be among the most intelligent OF the
members of the Negro Business
League"
There were MAJ y colored men in
the audience, men that have fought
their way up against every conceivable
form of handicap-beglnning in child
hood and continuing throughout LIE.
Some of the cOlOred business men
listened to Mr. Roosevelt in silence
it is likely that they were men with
fairly good memories.
They remembered probably, and in
telligent colored men gerenally should
remember:
First. that Mr.. Roosevelt is the man
who talks very often about deeds alone
being important and words without
deeds being unimportant.
Second, cOlored citizens, when they
listen to Mr. Roosevelt, should bear
in mind some of Mr.. Roosevelt's
deeds and some of his lack of deeds
For instance, it was Mr.. Roosevelt
who discharged and disgraced an en-
tire regiment when a few men in the
regiment were accused of crime
This regiment which Mr. Roosevelt
discharged and disgraced- something

Still Encouraging the White South.

From the Cleveland Plain-Dealer.
The President continues TO manifest
an intention of doing what he can le-
Ultimately to break up the solid South
The desire he expressed before and
Immediately after his election to see
some of the Southern Democratic
States come into the Republican col
umn appears not to have lost its in
tensity
The latest manifestation of this
spirit is the appointment of a white
man, Henry s. Jackson, TO succeed
Henry \. Rucker, a Negro. as inter
nal revenue collector for the north
ern Georgia district An earlier move
of the same kind was Mr.. Taft's dis
placement of Collector Crum at
Charleston and~the appointment of Il
white man in his place Darien, Ga,
a town where Negroes predominant.
was given white postmaster at the
Presidents suggestion. Other similar
incidents might be named
Not since the Cleveland administra-
ton, it is stated, have the Southern
whites received so much consideration
at Washington What will the Ell
feet of this policy be? Will the Presi-
dent be able to pry the South loose
from its traditional associations?

Negro Education and Suffrage.

Springfield, Mass, Aug. IA
The Springfield (Mass) Sunday Re
publican of Aug Il prints the address
Of Prof Kelley Miller, Of Howard
University, in full on Negro educa-
ltion and suffrage" Among other
Things he said:
Education IS the process of trans
mitting to the young the accumulated
experiences Of the race.
"In the case of man, education is a
reasoned and controlled process, and
depends largely upon public sentiment
Of craftsmanship.
The Negro is subject TO this uni
versal law and his education has been
in almost exact mathematical proper
ton TO public sentiment regarding his
place and function in society. He was
brought to this country as a slave, as
an animal, for the purpose Of perform
ing manual and menial labor.
No more account was taken of his
higher powers and susceptibilities
than of the higher faculties of the
lower animals.
Those who assumed not only the
wisdom but the piety of their day-and
generation at one time stoutly aver
red that the Negro did not possess a
soul to be saved, but was as the beasts
that perish, and consequently he was
denied admission to the Christian al
tar; but this soul energy, this heart
as it crystalizes III the controlling type
potency of the race, persisted in man
ifesting itself with such presence
and power, that these deniers of the
Negroes essential humanity were
compelled to admit him to the Chris
tian altar on terms of spiritual equal
ity with the rest.
Il take this to be the greatest tr1-
umph which the Negro race has yet
achieved by way Of wrestling recogni-
ton from an unwilling world; for
when you establish spiritual equality
among men, you have laid the basis
for all other modes of equality.
John c. Calhoun, who was the
ablest defender of Negro subordina
ton, based his philosophy on the the
ory that the Negro was the innate,
everlasting, unchanging inferior to the
white race, as a part of Gods cOsmic
scheme of things.
The South regulates its affairs
very largely by sentiment, but it is
coming in touch with this great world
current which Theodore Roosevelt
talked so learnedly about in his Ber-
lin address.

THE DOCTORS.

The colOred doctors, like all
other human beings, believe IN
playing politics. Politics should
be above those whose belief is in
the dissection of the human body.
Many of the visiting physicians
became disgusted at the tactics
resorted to by many who were am
bilious to become president Of the
Medical Association. DR.. Caban-
mis- showed his good sense not to
enter into the scramble. The resO-
luton that was brought In by the
-committee condemning the meth
.ods resorted to by many met the
approval of the more learned
men in the association. The tao
tics of ward politicians could not
have been any more disgusting.
Many of the most prominent
delegates endeavored to persuade
DR.. John Il. Francis, our distin-
gUished tOwnsman, to allow his
name to be presented to the con
ventiOn, but his modesty and high
sense of honor would not permit
him. There is no doubt but that
DR.. Francis could have been
elected, so strong was the senti-
ment and under-current for him !;
and in his determination not to
allow his name to be used he took
French leave in his touring car to
his office, where many dozen pa
tients awaited him. DIR. \. NJ
Curtis was elected. and the next
place of meeting will be Newport
News.

Birmingham, Ala, Feb. 5, I0IO.)
Among the progressive secret and
benevolent societies among the col
ored people in Chicago, H., is Morn
ing Light Court of Daughters OF
Sphinx This society has in a quiet
way done much good in the way of
aiding and helping a number of col
ored persons in securing positions OF
employment without any cost or
charge to them, and this court has
rendered valuable aid and assistance
to large number of poor persons
in this city, besides doing a great deal
of charitable work and looking after a
number Of young men and women
who have been unfortunate. 1t IS
doing a great good in this city.
Among some OF the prominent and
active members of the order OF
Daughters of Sphinx is Mrs. ]. H,
Johnson, Mrs A. Foster, Mrs. Augusta

Is II WISE z

The cOlored Republicans of
Tennessee have decided to meet
and declare against the Repubh-
can party Of their State because
Mr.. j. c. Napier has been remOv-
ed from the Republican State
Committee. If these voters leave
the Republican party, where will
they 90! The Democratic party
doesn't want them. and the Re
publican party, they say, has cast
them aside. The question now is,
where will the colored voters 90!
The colored voters can only be
factors in the body polite by
united action. The Bee maintains
that President Taft is being i'll
advised. In his heart, The Bee
believes that he is friendly to the
colored man, but his advisers, or
a few Of them, are inimical to the
cOlOred voters. President ROOse-
welt. it must be admitted, made a
mistake when he dismissed the
colored battahOns from the Army
without honor; but what can the
cOlored Americans do about it?
The col0red voters are, there
fore, advised to desert the party
that has made it possible for
the COlQTpd voter to eniOy what
little freedom he is enjoying to-
day. There has been no act on the
part of the Republican party to
cause the colored voter to 90 over
to their enemy. The question is.
Is it wise! The cOlored voters
need at this time wise counsel.

for the whites and another for col
ored people. From the great crowds
that pour into this institution, YOU
will readily decide that the coIered
patrons are more happy in this theater
than they are in their own : and 10
cent shows. Why is this? Just think
| OF It. There are in this city at least
dozen or more first-clasS moving pic
ture shows especially for the colored
people, and one large first-class thea
ter recently opened called the How
ard. In all of these theaters the col
Ored people are permitted to 90 with
out being Jim Crowed," and yet hun
dreds OF cOlored people may be seen
every evening going into this Jim
Crow" institution, where thev are
compelled to enter by another door
and compelled to sit on a side set
apart for them. Are these people
/ crazy? They must be- Words are
not sufficiently at the command OF
The Bee to express its Indignation
and disgust. The white people don't
treat the Jim Crow" Negro bad
enough. If they are kicked out. or if
they are rebuked. they like it better
1t IS this common class of colored
people who are never happy unless
they humillate themselves by going
where they are Jim Crowed. The
discontented Negro is the Jim
Crow Negro He is a burden to
himself and a menace TO others
The Washington bee., 1910-09-03

that he did not do and would not have
done TO any regiment of white men
was regiment made up entirely of
Negro soldiers.
In this regiment of Negro soldiers,
the great majority were men who had
served their country honorably, risk
ing their lives and doing their duty
thoroughly.
If these men had been white men,
they would not have been disgraced,
deprived of a living, and deprived of
an honorable standing more important
than a living, because there were some
unworthy men among them.
But, because they were Negroes,
and not for any other reason, one of
Mr.. ROOsevelt's deeds was the petu-
liant, angry and unjustihed dismissal
of this entire regiment. To make the
really intelligent colored citizen forget
this particular deed Mr. Roosevelt
oughtto need good many words.
Another of Mr. ROosevelt's deeds is
his most unfriendly criticism of Negro
soldiers in his public writings-a criti-
clsm indicative of prejudice against
the Negroes, which was undoubtedly
reflected in his unjust and unprece-
dented treatment of an entire regi-
ment, because they happened to be
Negroes.
One of the deeds which Mr.. Roose-
welt neglected conspicuOuSly had to
do with Negroes. Mr. Roosevelt neg
leCted TO mention the fact that it was
a Negro regiment in Cuba that saved
him and his men from destruction.
1t was a Negro regiment that really
did the fighting down there, when
the ornamental young gentlemen re-
cruited by Colonel Roosevelt among
the cotilicn leaders, and other hunters
of glory, were asking to be sent home
or wandering around aimlessly with
good intentions-but getting nowhere.
The men that saved the day there,
the men that really did go up San Juan
Hill, the men to whom Colonel Roose-
welt owes the fact that he came back
from San Juan as a hero, were Negro
soldiers.
MIR. Roosevelt wrote a great deal
about Cuba, but he omitted a deed
which would have reflected credit upon
him, he omitted the giving of credit
to the Negro soldiers for what they
did there
Nice smooth words are pleasant,
and they often call forth cheers.
But a good memory IS better for
the owner than good words
What the colOred citizen has to fear
most IS strong prejudice against his
color and unjust action based upon
that prejudice.
A man who, like Colonel Roosevelt,
belittles the Negro in his public writ
Ings and dismisscs an entire regiment
because it happened to be made up
entirely of Negroes, has in his rec
ord deeds that no collection of fine
words will persuade the intelligent
cOlored citizen to forget
The Washington bee., 1910-09-03
WHAT DO THEY WANT?

The Bee would like to know
what the colored people in this
city want! For years the amuse-
ment houses in this city have dis
criminated against the colored
people, until their conduct has
been disgusting. Every effort has
been made on the part of a com
pany of colored men in this city
to build a theater of their own,
but thus far have failed. There
Is no playhouse in this city where
a colored person is permitted to
90 and sit where he pleases. In
some houses they are not wanted
at all; in a few others they are
Jim Crowed."
AIessrs. Rosenthal and Bene-
dict, of Baltimore, Md. realizing
how the colored people have
been. and are, treated, decided to
build a theater for the people
where all the people will be treat
ed like American citizens. The
Howard Theater is the finest in
this city, and if it is not supported
by the people they never need to
attempt to build one or ask for
consideration from anybody.

ORR SCHOOLS.

The citizens of Washington
have frequently allowed so much
personal feeling to enter into their
criticism of the schools that The
Bee wishes to present In its col
mns some idea of the real spirit
of the work of education at public
expense, which has done so much
for the colored children, youth
and citizens of Washington. 1t
begins with an Address to the
Parents and Patrons of the Nor
NAL School. by Charles NJ. Thorn
as. because 1t has been Informed
from many sources that he is both
Il real teacher and a student OF
education. The Bees articles will
not be the usual general state
ments about ideal conditions. but
will aim to set forth the under
lying spirit of the work in which
we are all concerned directly OF
indirectly. 1t Is. in truth. an at
tempt to educate the parents to
understand the value and work
of the school system to which
they owe so much, and in which
Washington has always taken
such pride. These articles will
prove of great value to teachers
and prospective students. The
above is my idea of what can be
done by your paper.

DISCONTINUED Negroes.

Speaking of the burdens of col
ored Americans, what are his bur
dens2 He is discOntented when he IS
not permitted to enter Jim Crow
theaters, and he is still more discon-
tented when theaters are established
for him. Some are never happy, no
matter what you may do for them.
If you will walk in the vicinity of
Seventh street, between K and L
streets northwest, you will see in
brilliant lights, a theater called Hap

to this Jim Crow institution, one
