TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION.
THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.

= l
Our esteemed friend, Rev. Mr..
WaldrOn, in a recent speech or in
teryiew advises the colored Ameri-
cans to divide their vote, that is
he would advocate COlOred voters
supporting the Democratic party.
IS such advice plausible and logical
under existing conditions and cir
CumStanCes? The Bee believes in
the cOlOred Americans supporting
men irrespective Of their political
affiliations when such men believe
as Ex-Governor Glenn, of North
Carolina, does. 1t is true that there
are democrats in this country who
believe in according equal rights to
COlOred Americans, but to advO-
cate or advise COlOred Americans
going over to the Democratic party,
It IS wrong when we know that the
principles of the Democratic party,
as a whole, believes and advocates
the disfranChisement of cOlored
Americans, such advocacy is dan
gerous and impolitiC. Is not Rev.
WaldrOn aware that the Democratic
party is inimiCal to the best interest
Of cOlored Americans? He says
that the Republican party has de-
serted the COlOred man. In what
particular we would ask? 1t is
more important to the colored
voters to be given the right of fran
ChlSe than it is to seek a few politi-
cal Offices. General Clarkson found
no fault with the Republican party
until after his retirement from
office. He didn't see the wrongs of
the Republican party while he was
holding office, but the moment he
was forced to retire he comes out
and declares, as Mr.. Waldron has
done, that the Republican party has
deserted the COlOred Americans. It
IS a case of Sour grapes" 1t re-
minds The Bee of two friends who
have been companions all their lives
and know each others secrets, and
after they have fallen out one ex-
poses the other. Office seeking
should be an incident and not the
direct object of our citizenship.
The Bee has not arrived at that
point in life where it would advise
Its friends to support the principles
OF the Democratic party, when it
knows and is conceded that all that
cOlored Americans possess to-day
was obtained through the instru-
mentality of the Republican party.
The Bee believes in President Taft
although he has not thrown pro-
mlscuously to ambitious and un-
Scrupulous politicians public offices.
While the Bee believes that the Re
publican party should reward merit
irrespective of color, it is not at all
times eXpedient and judicious. The
Bee doesn't believe in the Govern
ment practiCing discrimination
against any class Of citizens. but at
the same time there is a way to
over come such evils by becoming
political factors in the body polite.
The way to become factors is to
unite on men irrespective of their
party affiliations and when such
men, be they Democrats or Re-
publicans, believe in equality of
citizenship. The Democratic party
has not offered any inducements to
the colored voters to support it, but
to the contrary it has done and con-
tlnues to do acts to drive colored
Americans away from it. Rev.
Waldron is wrong in his premises
and conclusions, and all other
liberal advocates of the divisions
OF the cOlored vote.

The Blue and White in Greek Flag

The Blue and White In Greek Flag.
The Greek flag is an unpretentious
piece Of blazony consisting of nine
stripes Of blue and white alternately.
with a white cross on a blue ground
in the left hand corner. The navy
flag has a golden crown In the CEN
ter of the cross.
Blue and white are the national
colors Of Bavaria and were adopted
by the Greeks as a delicate compIi-
ment to the Prince of Bavaria, who
accepted the invitation to ascend the
throne Of Greece when that country
had. succeeded in wrestling her fnde.
pendence from the Ottoman empire.

Opening the Coosa River

1 have Just been reading a speech Of Congress
man Gordon Lee. concerning the further devel-
opment and opening of the COosa river.
It brought to mind the struggle that was
needed to get this work adopted by the United
States government, thirty-four years ago l
was in Washington, when DR.. FELTON, begun TO
awaken interest and move all his forces to-
wards the accomplishment of this great under
taking. and when he won the vietory-it was
something to exult over and rejoice that the
ice was broken and the way clear to this great
work.
In this undertaking had good support by
certain Alabama members-General Forney
among them-but it was the Georgia member,
who was on the committee of commerce, who
bore the heat and burden of the day. Why
Speaker Kerr selected DR.. FELTON, for this COM
then one of the most important committees of
the house of representatives, and had charge
of the river and harbOr bills, on which de-
pended the internal improvements OF all the
United States.
But it was worthy choice. and the results
did a man work faithfully for his
stituents. and the people living the cOosa
seemed to understand what il meant when
the COosa river Improvement was actually au-
thorized and pulled through, by a new mem
ber whose independent politics gave him no
support from the dominant party in Georgia
and who actually out in spite of a thousand

would it not be a financial impossibility
for Brown to pay off Georgia's teachers

Z7Vef0e Nuts to Crack

Editor The Atlanta Journal:
Editor The Macon Telegraph:
Dear Sirs: AS the leaders of the two
most opposite factions of the memorable
Brown-Smith campaign of 1909 L would
like to PROFOUND i'm all sincerity a few
questions on the political situation of to-
day; in other words, give you both u
few nuts to crack for the dear common
people:
First-and paramount to all other ques-
tons l want to ask if nine voters out of
ten in Georgia will not agree that tho
Brown administration is but reaping what
Smith sowed?
Secondly-Does any one of them believe
that Brown in a little over six months
time co d have put the state of Geor-
gia on the sound financial basis that it ia
today?
Thirdly-What has become of that three
quarter of million deficit that the Tele-
graph, as the official organ of the Brown
administration, held up as a hobgoblIn
to scare the dear common people into be-
lieving would arrive on the first of jan
uary, 1910?
Fourthly-Who suffered in the so-called
panic of 1907-l90S most-the corporations
or the dear common people?
Fifthly-Who is suffering most in the
food panic today, when the corporations

ried- his point.
The government never abandons work of
this kind. after a beginning has been made
but it was uphill effort TO get start.
In season and out of season, Dr. FELTON, plead
with the committee of house and senate. He
cultivated the engineers who were to begin the
work, after it was authorized, and l alone
know the fidelity and zeal that won out, in the
last final pull, when the people were shrieking
for retrenehment and reform, and calling on
their representatives to withhold all possible
expenditures and to cut down all extrayagant
appropriations.
Like the last lease of the Western and
Atlantic railroad, he had to fight the powers
that determined TO keep the right of way,
but who were finally forced to yield before the
enthusiasm and earnestness of this brave old
hero in state and national legislation
Generations yet unborn will reap the benefit
of this courage and ability, and the $4,000 900
that the lease will place in the treasury
OF Georgia before the present lease expires
aud the opening of the Coosa river from
Rome to the Gulf of Mexico, are monument
to the patriot who never ceased TO work until
the lease and the opening, of the river were
accomplished facts.
/ note one paragraph in Congressman Lees
speech, that I echo heartily. Says he
The few who have labored. who have borne
and must continue TO bear the heat and burden
of the struggle of these great designs (coesa

approving conscience for their reward Pion-

who are enlisted in the cause"
When the Panama canal is opened we VIII
see that Georgia coal and iron will get 10 the
outlet of the Gulf of Mexico with 800 miles
of boating while ii takes 1000 miles of boat

same outlet. The opening of the Coosa river
was well begun. ! hope to see the day when
a boat loaded in Rome Ca, will have clean,
clear channel to the Gulf of Mexico. 1t lacks
little over one hundred miles yet. Speed the
day of completion!
