BISHOP GRANT AND REG
lister VERNON.

Anent the discussion as to the
attitude of the leaders of the A.
NJ. E. Church and Register Yer
non. The Bee is in a position to
state that there is no break, and
has not been. Articles appearing
in different papers from time to
time would indicate such; in fact,
The Bee has never so thought.
We are glad to say, however, that
we are reliably informed that
Bishop Grant and others who
have been the Registers friends
are his friends still, and that the
Bishop and his associates were in
no way responsible for the Regis
ter's not returning to Kansas to
resume educational work at this
time. Let us hope that the dis
"ussion may end here. This is our
position in the matter.
We have always regarded the
Bishops Of the various colored
churches as large, broad-minded
men, and we know Bishop Grant

who doesn't attempt to take any
thing from his people, but, if any
thing, he gives to them. Men who
are doing something very seldom
get the credit of being benefactOrs
of the race. Let us hope, there
fore, of seeing the South repent.
Let us hope for a day when the
colored Americans will be able to
live in favor and happiness with
his Southern neighbOr. Every
where DR.. Washington went
through the State he was greeted
by as many white people as he was
by colored. Thousands of them
shook his hand and bid him well
come. What more can be expected
Is the day breaking? Has the sun
begun to shine! Let us live In
hopes and pray to God that the
resurrection of the South IS not
far off. Let the cOlored man
South accumulate property and
establish business. If this is done,
race prejudice and race hatred
will soon be acts of the past.
These quarterly tours of DR..
Washington will tend to elevate
the colored Americans, and The
Bee hopes that they will be con-
tinued until the light of day.

DURHAM SURPASSED ALL

The tour of DR.. Booker L.
Washington through North Caro-
lima last week was one of the most
successful tours that have been
made as yet. The Bee had par
ticuIar pride in seeing that Dur
ham, n. c., would give the Doctor
the greatest reception of any other
city. The Bee was not disap-
pointed. Durham, n. c., IS the
home of DR.. James E. Shepard,
our distinguished friend. The
white and colored citizens demon
strated what they could do to en-
tertain DR.. Washington. The in
troductory address of DR.. Shepard
was a masterpiece of OratOry, such
as no other man could deliver but
DR.. Shepard. The citizens of
Durham, surprised the sage of
Tuskegee. Never in the history of
his career vas such a reception
rendered any one citizen. Not
even did Vice President Sherman
receive the ovation that was ac-
corded to DR.. Washington. Mr..
Sherman addressed $500 people,
and DR.. Washington $500, and
hundreds were turned away from
the hall. The banquet that was
held in one of the National Re
ligious Training School halls was
fit for the gods. The event will be
remembered for years to come,
DIR. Shepard was the toastmaster,
and his introduction of DR.. Wash
ington was the occasion of the
greatest ovation that has ever
been witnessed in the South. Dur
ham surpassed all.

THE CATHOLIC PARADE.

The Catholic Church taught the
other good (?l white Christians,
who believe in religion only for
themselves, a lesson last Sunday
afternoon. There were white and
colored Christians in line, but they
were Catholics, however, who be-
lieve in the black boy and girl as
well as they do in the white. The
parade was an object lesson, no
doubt, to the white Christian { p
committee that barred colored
Sunday schools from parading
with them last year. O, what a
difference there was last Sunday,
We wonder if the devil discrimi-
mates. No, we don't believe that
he does. There is no discrimina-
ton in the hereafter. We congrat-
ulate the Catholic Church on its
successful and nOn-discriminating
Christian parade last Sunday
We, The Bee, has always said that
there are some white people in this
world who don't look upon al
cOlOred people as criminals. L
we only could teach the white peo
pie that we have some good one'
among US and that we do som,
good deeds, there would be
change in the religious and pOlit
icaI atmosphere throughout thu
country.

BOARD OF EDUCATION.

Our Board of Education is Civ
ing satisfaction to the people. The
people are with the board when
it is being interfered with by the
Engineer Commissioner. The
Board of Education is serv-
ing the people without compensa-
ton and receives no credit for its
gratuitous work. 1t is the duty of
the people to stand by the board
when Congress cOnvenes, and urge
that the office of the assistant SUI
perintendent of schools be abol-
ished. A change in that office is
an absolute necessity. The cOlOred
teachers, parents and children will
welcome a change. It is evident
that the conditions In our schools
warrant change.

D. w. BAKER.

The defeat OF B. H. Warner.
Jr., is vindication of District
Attorney DIV. Baker. A man can
not ride into power and trust
when he treats his fellow man un-
fairly. Mr.. B. II. Warner, ST.,
attacked Mr.. Baker without a just
cause. Mr.. Baker has always lead
the Republican party in Mont
gOmery County, Nd, long before
he was .. S. Attorney, and why
the fight should have been made
on him that he was not properly
conducting his office and refused
to try men alleged to be guilty,
The Bee is at a loss to know. Mr..
Baker has been vindicated by the
Court of Appeals and by the
voters in the Sixth Maryland Dis
trict.

Booker T. Washington's Address.


Ihe Durham Sun
Booker T. Washington spoke in this
city last night at St. Joseph's Church
to a crowd that completely hlled-no
packed-the building. There was a
goodly number of white people who
went out to hear this noted Negro
educator, and for these a section oi
the church had been reserved.
There is one portion of Booker T.
Washington's address at St. Joseph S
Church last night that the Sun wishes
to call special attention to, that is:
Both races of the South suffer at
the hands of public opinion in one
respect, and that is by reason Of the
fact that the outside world hears OF
our difficulties; hears of our crimes,
hears of mobs and lynchings, but the
outside world does not hear of, neither
does it know about, the evidence of
racial friendship and good will which
exists in the majority of communities
in North Carolina and other South
ern States where blacks and whites
live together"
And in that one sentence Booker
Washington has uttered a truth that
should be taken heed of
The editor of this newspaper has
long tried, in his small way, to elm
mate the criminal side of the Negro
news published in newspapers with
which he has been connected. He has
done some little good along this line
not as much as he would have wished
to have done, but some good at least
The newspapers of the South have for
years been giving column after col
umn of space to Negro criminal items
that should never have been publish
ed at ALL they have educated a taste
among their readers for this sort OF
thing that has become as much a habit
as has the drinking of whiskey or the
use of tobacco, and when a habit is
once formed it is a hard proposition
to overcome it.
There has been too much attention
paid to recorders, aldermanic and po
| lice courts, especially so in Negro
cases; the people of other sections o
the country have come to believe tha
there is no good whatever in the Ne
gro because the Northern and West
| ern editor reading his Southern ex
changes sees little but criminal Ne
gro news in those exchanges. Tht
South has been hurt through this sor
of newspaper making 1t will take ;
long time to completely overcome tht
harm already done, but it can be over

| So far as the Durham Sun is con
cerned, those readers seeking fOi
salacious morsels of intellectual fooC
may look elsewhere; they won't fnt

the best of what Negro news come
to our table, but we don't want an

THE ELECTIONS.

The elections last Tuesday
ought to convince the Republican
party that the Democratic party
has not changed at all. Demo
Gratis have been given everything
in the way of offices, and have
been permitted to disfranchise
colored Americans with impunity,
and yet it Is not happy. What
does Tuesdays elections mean!
They mean one or two things, to
wit: that the country is dissat-
isfied with the administration, or
an attempt was made ny the enc
mics of ex-President Roosevelt to
rebuke him. The South, that re-
.ceived everything with Mr.. Dick
insOn in the Cabinet, has brought
nothing to the Republicans or the
present administration. The Re
publican party cannot hope to sue
coed when it throws aside human
rights. The colOred man South
has been eliminated from politics
to please the Democratic party
South. What has the Republican
party gained? Right here in the
District of Columbia the best of
fees have been filled by Democrats
and colored Republicans ignored
because they are colOred. The
Bee wanted the Republican party
to win. EX-President Roosevelt
was rebuked, so the wise men In
the East say. What has the Re
publican party gained by such a
rebuke? Is it presumed that Mr..
Roosevelt has been retired! By
no means. In 1912 the Republi-
can National Convention will be
looking for a man to lead the stray
sheep out of the wilderness. What
man can lead? The convention
will look to Theodore Roosevelt.
1t is evident that the Democratic
party is hard to kill. It doesn't
down. It is made of material that
is elastic. The more you push
the more elastic it gets. The Bee
was confident that B. H. Warner,
Jr., would be defeated. The Bee
was aware of the feeling through
out the District against him. The
friends of ex-COngressman Pierre
and eX-United States Attorney D.
W. Baker gave Mr.. Warner the
rebuke that he deserves. The Bee
has no tears to shed. The voters
in the Sixth Maryland District
knew how Mr.. Baker was treated
by the father of young Warner.
How ex-Congressman Pierre was
treated last year by the Warmers.
The Bee hopes that both are wiser
men now. The elections did not
surprise The Bee. Men in public
office ought to know that it pays to
be true to their fellow man. Now
let's 90 to work.

Hampton Night.

a meeting recently at the residence
of Mr. F. d. Lee, 1904 10th street
northwest, the President of the Asso-
citation, who presided Complete ar
rangements were made for the pro-
posed educational mass meeting, to be
held in the Metropolitan A. M. Z.

ters were read from DR. H. B. Fris-
sell. Principal of Hampton Institute
and Mai R. R. Moten, Commandant
of the cadets, and Dr. w P. Thirkield,
President of Howard University, stat
ing they would be present and deliv-

bring with them the Hampton Jubilee
Singers. DR.. Booker T. Washington
has also been invited, and it is ex-
pected that he will be present. The
object of this meeting IS to assist in
raising a scholarship fund for poor
and worthy students at Hampton
School, and also to help Miss Eloise

work of this city. Miss Bibb will
also be one of the speakers at the
mass meeting on Nov. I8.
DR.. Thomas Jesse Jones, Chaplain
of Hampton Institute and also in
structor in the theological department
of Howard University, addressed the

tional work among the colored peo-
pie who live in the alleys and courts
of our city. The meeting was well

THE CRISIS

The Bee is in receipt of the
Crisis, edited by DR.. Dubois.
This paper supersedes the Moon
and the Horizon. 1t is a we'll ed
tied magazine, and the wish of
The Bee is that it may succeed,
notwithstanding the political up
heavel in the country. The Moon
has been Overshadowed by the Ho-
rizon, until, at last, DR.. Dubois
lis confronted with a Crisis. The
Bee congratulates this distinguish
ed scholar on his new venture, and
welcome it to our sanctum. There
are breakers ahead, Doctor, with
out attacking those who are doing
something. The world is large
enough for you, and the burden
upon cOlOredAmericans arethe OPP
pressions and determinations of
the white man who doesn't believe
in equality of citizenship.

THE WHITE SOUTH.

The sentiment of the Southern
press on the tour of DR.. Booker
T. Washington through North
Carolina fully demonstrates what
the Southern people think of him.
The doctrine that he is preaching
is such that will tend to change
the feeling of the Southern peo-
pie towards the colored people.
DR.. Washington is doing some
thing for the uplift of his people.
Indeed, we find him to be a man

regulars have decided to attend to
the business of the organization.
Now, Just who will be chief JUS

subcommittee of management will

JIM CROW VS.. RESPECTA.
BILITY.

1t is strange, and very strange,
that the colored people in this
city would rather 90 to the Acad-
emy of Music, where they are com
PEELED to go to the peanut gal
Iery, than to 90 to the Howard
and other theaters where they are
placed upon social equality. Is
this class of "Jim Grow" cOlored
people crazy? The Bee has been
Informed that these "Jim Grow"
cOlored people would rather pay
one dollar for a seat in the peanut
gallery at the Academy, while the
white people only pay 80 cents
for orchestra chairs, when Old
Kentucky comes to town. The
Bee firmly believes that these self
same "Jim Grow" colOred people
would boycott Old Kentucky, at
the Howard Theater, where they
would be permitted to 60 and en-
Joy a first-class seat, than to give
up their seats In the peanut gal
lery. The manager of the How
ard Theater and Mr.. j. Lubrie
Hill, who has full charge of the
stock company, are doing every
thing in their power to cater to
the wishes of the people. They
ask the question, the cause of their
apparent non-appreciation. If
this opportunity slips, the colOred
people in this city need never
again expect any consideration
from the white people. The col
Ored citizens of this city are re-
fused admission to all frst-class
theaters. The Academy of Music
will permit them to separate seats,
otherwise "Jim Grow" seats in the
gallery, and they seem to be per-
fectly satisfied. There are some
colored people in this city who
are never happy unless they are
behind the coat-tail of some white
person, where they are not want
ed. They don't seem to care how
badly they are treated. The
worse they are treated the better
they love their OppressOrs. They
don't seem to like or appreciate
their own people. They would
rather be In the same building
with poor white trash than to be
in a decent and respectable theater
of their own and among their
own. The real respectable white
man or woman don't object being
where colored people are. 1t is a
certain class, and no doubt that
these "Jim Crow" colored people
are the ones they are endeavOring
to shun.
What is the cause, Mr.. Hill
wants to know. What can be done
Mr.. Smith would be pleased tx
know. If these gentlemen knew
the causes they would endeavor t.
remedy them. Every effort is be
ing made by the management o.
the Howard Theater to accommo
date the people in this city. Th,
cOlored people have been lifted
from the gutter and placed in {
place of respectability. How
much have the efforts of those gen
tlemen been appreciated? Wha
encouragement is there for thos'
who attempt to elevate the dowI
trodden? The colored people IL
this city should hold up the hand
of the Howard managers.
What is the cause?
What have they done?
