'It is passing strange that men in pO-
liticaI campaigns will so far forget
themselves as to descend to the dirty
extremes of SANDER and v~iIification. 1t
is an insult to his audiences Var
daman in Issue.
The above appeared in last
weeds Issue, and is from the pen
of Nj. Vardaman who has been
notorious for viIifcation in poll
tics from the brutal remarks about
Roosevelt and Bishop Galloway
dhWn an indiscriminate charge
against a majority Of the Mississ-
ippi Legislature,
A good part Of his fame rests
upon his violent attacks on men,
and some of his followers have
based their support of him on the
fact that in Washington he would
"cuss out them damn republi-
cans"
In the very number of the pa
per containing the above excerpt,
the first article speaks of 'Taft's
administration with all its infa-
nous principles and policies"
Infamous is good. 1t is just
about the most unfit word one
could use in justly criticising Taft
and his administration. The
kindly hearted, welI-meaning
president is in a lot of trouble
now with his own party, and
hardly deserves such a slam as
Vardaman hits him. But mtd-
nous was the bitterest sounding
word Vardaman could think of
SO he used it without knowing or
without caring for its meaning.
The next article is a mean in
situation against Mr.. Percy. The
third article is a nine line boost
of a supporter. The fourth is a
charge hat the Mississippi Sen
ate got up the BiIbo investigation
to take the bribery matter away
from the grand-jury and also
charges that Judge Cook was
brought to preside over that court
for Interior purposes.
The fifth article is by a Nj.
Thigpen. calling Percy the Lori
mer Of Mississippi and is filled
with dirty and filthy epithets.
The next is by a MI. Hall, and
while not abusive, takes the po-
sition that corruption and bribery
are rife in Mississippi. The next
is by a Mr.. Hall, and while not
abusive, takes the position that
corruption and bribery are rife in
Mississippi. The next article
shows Gen. John A. Webb and
Gen, W. A. Montgomery at the
head of the Confederate Vete-
rams. The next article is another
boquet to neutrality-suspicious..
Next comes Vardaman's mes
sage as governor Vetoing the bill
for the negro normal school and
then a quoted editorial on Roose-
Welt and then other articles not
abusive, but they are not about
men.
Such platitudes as the one above
quoted about vituperation in the
Issue, While it continues to be
more than half made up of origi-
nal and quoted articles full Of
abuse, SANDER and yilification, are
instances Of pure and unadulter
ated gall, and to use its own ex-
preston ARE an insult to his
audiences or readers.

the gratitude of every Negro in
this country, as well as in Ii
IBERIA and throughout the dark
continent because of the deci-
sion to render Liberia practical
help.
If the Taft administration did
nothing more than to make it
possible for Liberia to be an in
dependent, prosperous, sovereign
country, this one achievement
would stand as the greatest sery-
ice to the race since the right OF
suffrage was conferred on the
American Negro. But President
Taft is so deeply interested in
the future of the race that he
will, at every opportunity, strive
to ameIiorate the condition, and
advance the interests OF the
race. President Taft is to be
thanked and praised for his sin
cere efforts to save Liberia to
herself.
What Liberia needs now, and
needs badly, is money to take
care of her burdensome debt,
and develop the country, and
high class, honest, earnest, un-
selfish men from this country to
assist the people of that coun-
try to institute needed reforms
in the government. And this IS
the aim of President Taft.

HELPING LIBERIA

The Taft administration 5
plans, quietly formed, to help
struggling Liberia, as announc-
ed in the newspapers last Sun
day, has sent JOY to every race
loving Negro. According to the
published account, this plan
contemplates the taking over OF
the debt OF the black republic,
which amounts to approximate

ing of capital by American cap
italists, to develop the resources
of the African Republic, the same
as was done in Cuba and Santc

furnished to develop the rich

Such evidence would not hold in

assures him that the denizens of

Does Not Apply to Interstate Pas
SengerS

SEUSSlS
The editor of The Bee has been
for several years trying to find out
the secret to Marion T. CIinkscales'
success as a lawyer and he believes
he has made the discovery. For sew
eral days and nights Mr. Clinkscales
has been absent and last Monday
morning the Editor inquired where
where had he been, and the reply
was:
Il have been wrestling with the
Angels and would not let them go
until they had blessed my client"
Well, did the angels bless your
soul, Mr. Clinkscales?
Yes, indeed; when a lawyer has
good client, that fact alone is a
blessing. You see my client had a
just cause of action against the
, Great Falls and Old Dominion Rail
way Company, and filed her suit and
wrestled in open court with the an
gels of Justice and Right and would
not let them go until they delivered
to my client blessing.

ed to go and they placed her unde

nearly four years and EEs been test
ed upon every ground known to tn
law that governs such actions and
have been keeping quiet for I knew
that it touched the heart and soul o
! the "Jim Crow" car law, and
The Washington bee., 1910-02-05

from any State to the District of
Columbia, is not subject to the Jim
Crow" car law.
So that any person being arrested
| for refusing to go to the place or
section of the car vessel or vehicle
designated and set apart under any
of the "Jim Crow" acts has a right,
if arrested for so refusing, an ac-
ton against the company for false
arrest and Imprisonment and is en-
titled to compensatory damages. This
was our contention at the trial and
the jury gave a verdict in favor Of
my client for the sum of seven hun
dred and fifty $3.50 dollars with
cost as compensatory damages.
What effect will this have on the
"Jim Crow car law?
1T will not have any effect on the
"Jim Crow" car law, but it will have
serious effect on the persons, or
companies who attempt to enforce
the "Jim Crow" car law. As the law
now stands it cannot be applied to
Interstate passengers, because the
United States has a superior right in
enforcing all laws governing Inter
state transportation of persons, goods
and commodities and under the Con
stitution no State has the power OF
the right to legislate into law any
regulation governing the transporta-
ton of Interstate passengers. This
right is exclusive with Congress and

The Jim Crow Negro

Have you ever seen a Jim
Crow Negro? Of you have not,
stand on the outside of those
five cent moving picture shows
on Seventh Street and watch the
Jim Grow" Negro enter the
side door and take his seat in a
Iseperate department made for
him. Stand on the outside OF
the Academy and watch the
"Jim Crow" Negro purchase ad-
mission tickets for the peanut
gallery. The Jim Crow" Negro
may be found anywhere in town
He would rather eat from a
slop can used by a white firm
than to sit at a frst-class table
presided over by his own people.
The Bee has said time and again
that there are two up-to-date
moving picture theatres, far su-
perior to those who Jim Crow
the Negro, but seems that this
lin Crow" Negro prefers to
appeal to the white ticket seller
for admission and be refused.
The Jim Crow" Negro is not
only among the lower classes,
but you will find them among
the more intelligent colored
Americans. A delegation of
colored women set out to boy
colt a certain moving picture
theatre because they heard that
the colored man was running it
for a white man, and yet these
self same individuals would
rather take a seat in a Jim
Crow" theatre conducted by a
white man. The Jim Crow
Negro is not only an idiot, but
he lacks common decency. When
ever you see a Jim Crow" Ne
gro put a stamp on him. He
should be marked and discarded
from decent society. The Bee
proposes to make known the
Jim Crow" Negro. If white
man wants the money of col
ored man let the colored man
be given the same consideration
that is given his white patrons
Let the churches, societies ant
all other organizations spot anC
ostracise the Jim Crow" Negro

IN CUBA

Elsewhere in The Bee will be
seen and read with interest the
reception that was rendered DR..
James z. Shepard and his party
in Cuba by the Cuban govern
ment. There is no man in this
country who is receiving any
more honOrs and attention than
DIR. James F. Shepard, of Dur
ham, n. c. The work that DR..
Shepard has started in the South
will no doubt be monument to
the Southern colored people. The
young colored men of Durham,
n. C., are enterprising and pro-
gressive. The largest colored
insurance company in the world
is at Durham. n. c. The Bee
congratulates DR.. Shepard and
his friends on their successful
tour of the South and Cuba.

RING CHANGES ON HON
There is one thing the Ne
groes in washington can do, and
that is ring the changes on the
prefex "HOn." Every Negro
who holds a government posi-
ton, from a $1,000 job down, OF
from a 5000 job up, appears IN
the race newspapers, and on all
programs as Hon" So and So.
Pick up a programme, and II
there are a number of speakers
on it, you will observe nearly
all of them, if not all, sport the
prefix Hon" Now and then
the little, insignificant "Mr." "
gets squeezed inn somewhere
down the line, between two
ponderous "Honorables," and
appears as much out of place as
would a salome attire at the 18th
degree north latitude.
If you examine the white
daily newspapers you will al
ways observe that "Mr." is suf-
hcently large, and dignihed, and
destingue to apply to members
of Congress, members of the
Cabinet, Ambassadors, Minis
ters, and even the President. 1t
is always "Mr." Taft, 'the PreSi-
dent" "Mr." Knox, Secretary
tary of State" 'Mr." Money,
Senator from Mississippi" or
Mr." Bryce, Ambassador from
England" But when we pick
up many of the Negro newsPa-
pers, or a programme for a Ne
gro meeting or entertainment,
we find the title Mr. IS con-
sidered too inconsequential to
set in type, and so you get the
Hon" Biff Bang, Poser in the
Spotlight" or whatever may be
the title of his office. We do
not believe that the Negroes
holding Office here really desire
having Hon" appear before
their names in print, and the
title of their office grandiloquent-
ly follow their name. If they do
then, to be plain, they must be a
bunch of immodest, cOnceited
iackasses, and we do not believe
they are.
It is about time to ring the
changes on the much used, and
much abused prefix Hon and
give the plain, simple, ordinary
Mr." a show for his white al

PARTY AT MATAN-
ZAS

Studying the educational and
business condition of the Cuban
people DR.. Shepard and his
party left Havana for Matanzas
They were accompanied by Sen
ator NJ. Morua Delgado, Presi-
dent of the Cuban Senate and a
party of representative Cuban
gentlemen. At the station this
distinguished party was met by
the mayor OF Matanzas and a
delegation of citizens who bade
them welcome. In the party
was the brother of Governor,
the Mayor and delegation, es-
corted the visiting gentlemen 10

Mayor entertained all at an
elaborate breakfast. In a speech
he declared the visiting gentle
men the guests of the city. At.

was visited, including the cele-
brated caves of Matanzas.

from all sides.
Richard gave no heed to these ap.
peals. JEFF was helpless now and az
he staggered to a standing position
the negro was waiting for him. A
left, a right and another left, short,
snappy blows, found their marks on
Jeff's chin, and he went down for the
third time. Again he sprawled over
the rope hanging half outside the
ring. The timekeeper raised and
lowered his arms, tolling off the sec
onds. He had reached the count of
seven when some of Jeff's seconds
put foot inside the ring and Richard
walked between the fallen man and
the negro champion. Placing his
hand on Johnson's shoulder he de-
elared him the winner. While JEFF
fries was not counted out this was
merely a technical evasion. 1t was
evident that he could never have got
up inside of ten seconds.

Fifteenth Round.


When they approached each other
it was plain that Jeffries was in dis
tress. Johnson dashed at him like a
tiger, A rain of rights and lefts de-
livered at close quarters sent jeff
Keeling blindly. Another series Of

wnite giant went down for the first
time in his ring career. He fell I'M

elbow JefIries looked around in a
dazed way and got up at the count Of
nine. While he was down Johnson
stood almost over him until Richard
waved him back. He stood ready to
strike and when jeff rose from his
knees he rushed in Ggain. JEFF reeled
about and tried to clinch, but John
son eluded him and as the other
