A NEGRO NOVEL.

From Concord Evening Monitor.
Last evening the writer took up a
book addressed to this paper for re-
view, intending to give it the ten
minutes attention which often suf-
fees for fair judgment of publi-
cations purpose and achievement
This particular book was not especi-
ally attractive in appearance nor did
the title, GAS We See 1t, promise
much.
But the frontispiece portrait Jof
the author showed him to be a negro
of intelligent and thoughtful coun-
tenance; and his preface and that
Negro graduate of a northern col
lege. So the writer of this began to
read that Negro novel and he did not
lay it down until he had reached its
last word.
Moreover, he is thinking about 1t
yet, and is waiting with interest to
note what is said about it by critics
of the South.
Here is a book written by an edu-
Gated Negro, with its hero another
educated Negro, a graduate of OBJ
erlin. Some drunken crackers
(poor whites) fog to death the
mother and sister of this Oberlin
man. He makes a VOW to find and
kill every white man involved in the
crime His promised wife, a colored
girl, also an Oberlin graduate,
strengthens him in his purpose. He
accomplishes it to the letter, and the
author tells how, with horrible, but
vivid detail.
Pleasant sociological study, isn't it /?
But it shows us up here in the
North that there is a race problem in
the United States which is not de-
creasing in perplexity as the years
go by and which is not made Simp-
Ter of solution, according to this Ne
gro writer, by the higher education
of his race.

formerly of Harvard University
These two distinguished people have
introduced some brilliant sons. Young
Gregory said in part:
That the income tax is a very vi
tai and important measure may be
stated that this tax had once been
necessary to the preservation of the
Union and might be SO again. II
this can be possibly conceived of as
being so, and that such a tax once
saved the federal government. il
certainly behooves US to hand over
this power to the government with
out further delay.
An income tax would put all wealth
on an equal footing; and by begin
nirg with low rate, we could al
ways have an emergency measure
ready. AS a method, the so-called
"s-oppage at the source" is hard to
evade, and at the same time easy to
calsulate and collect. Moreover. the
income tax is, with one exception, by
far the most inexpensive tax to col
lect, in its array of inspectors and
clerks"

have the most implicit confidence in
Judge Pugh and they all speak well
of him.
Attorney Thomas L. Jones in
speaking of Judge Pugh, said, that he
was one of the best men the Presi-
dent could have selected.
Attorney Scott said, that Judge
Pugh would be fair and just to all
irrespective of color or condition.
Lawyer Mass is an original Pugn
man and he was the happiest mem
Der of the bar when it was announc-
ed that he was appointed.
Mr.. Albert Sellers declared that
we have good man.
Clerk Harper is more than pleas
ed. He has always admired Judge
Pugh.
Other members of the bar extend
ed their congratulations.

joyed by all.
Alter Mr.. Dent called the assem-
blage to order and explained the rea-
son for the gathering to- be to con-
graduate the friend and fellow citi-
zen OF those present on the honor
which had just come to him in the
shape of presidential appointment
Short congratulatory remarks were
made by l. NJ. Hershaw. A. H. Mat
thews, DR.. ]. A McDufie, Spencer
Fineley and T. A. Johnson, Prof. T.
w. Gilbert, of Augusta, Ga. and Mr.
Henry P.Slaughter of Kentucky who
were present by special invitation
and made short addresses.
Mr.. Johnson in responding thank
ed those present for their kindness
and thoughtfulnesS of him, said that
he had made no application, written
or otherwise, for the appointment he
had received; and that he should en-
ter his duties without feelings of
elation, but with the purpose of rem
dering efficient service and exempl-
tying the best traits of citizenship.
The gathering was the conception of
Mr.. Thomas A. Johnson.

THE COLORED SOLDIERS

Attorney Neopoleon B. Mar
shall, one of the attorneys in de-
Tending the claims of the dis
charged colored soldiers showed
his manhood last Saturday when
he laid bare the whitewashed pro-
ceedings in the alleged trial of
the colored soldiers. The atti-
tude of Mr.. Marshall should be
indorsed by the entire press of
the country. President Taft
should set aside the findings of
the court or remand so that the
colored soldiers will be Dermit-
ted to put in their defense of
what Mr.. Marshall says is true,
that he was not permitted to put
in his defense. Certainly Presi-
dent Taft is too great man to
approve such findings. The Bee
could expect no more from the
Secretary of War, who is in fav-
or of eliminating the colored
vote from the great body polite.
The Bee as we'll as the ten
millions or more of colored
Americans will wait with closed
mouths, the action of the Presi-
dent. The Bee believes what Mr..
Tyler said in an interview last
week that President Taft is the
colored mans friend. Mr.. Tyler,
we hope that your faithful allies
will not be disappointed.
