these United States.
The good will of the Negro,
Overley, toward his former
master is shown by his refusal
to leave the old plantation after
the war, though he was free to
do so. Overley, white, agrees
to send the Negro boy to Col
lege with his own son and pay
his expenses, after having him
prepared at his own home for
same. This boy, the hero OF
the story, passes through Col
l9ge and through life showing
what a Negro can do who has the
hardihood to stand by his home
and mother. His mother and
sister were lynched and when it
finally became known to him his
grief and wrath are uncOntroll-
able. In his anguish he cries
out Il want to go home! l
want to see my mothers grave!'
then adds" Can there be a God?
Can there be a just God? Can
there be laws to reach such peo-
pie? Can there be nothing that
governs the universe but the
avenging demon?" Then as
the desire for revenge sweeps
over him he exclaims with great
bitterness, "If there be demon !;
if there be a devil; if there be an
imp of hell; if there be a force
that will turn blood to gall ,love
to hate, good to bad, come to
me that I may feel thy full

possibly 200 Negroes. He says his
colored theatre will be equal in ev-

seat not less than 1900 persons.
There are now nine moving picture

The above is from the Indian

nothing more. The editor of
The Bee met this Jew, who is
from New York and we'll known
to the editor. He was in
troduced to Mr.. Cobb, by the
editor and he was asked if he
permitted colored people in his
Casino theatre, he said no. He
was asked why he discriminate
ed, he being a Jew and being
Disseminated against just the
same as the Negro. O, he said,
We opened up a moving pic
ture show to colored people and
they didn't patronize it. I get
1000 white patrons to forty col
ored." This man had forgotten
what he told the Editor some
time ago, what his reason was
for excluding colored people
from his theatre. He said that
the colored people refused to
sit in seats set apart for them.
This Jew remarked further that
he proposed to build a theatre
for the colored people. If he
does The Bee will advocate a
boycott. The Bee would not
advise any colored citizen to pa
tronize places set apart exclu-
Sively ior them or where they

some colored people who have
to be Jim Crowed." You may
see them daily entering the
side door of the Academy. You
will see the "Jim Crow" Negro
visiting Fairy Land, where there
is a Jim Crow" entrance for
him, He would rather go up in
the peanut gallery and breath
the sinking breath of poor
white people than he would pur-
chase a seat to frst-class
moving picture show under the
supervision of his own people.
The lin Grow" Negro is nui-
sance in this city. He is an i'm
pediment to the progressive ele-
ment of people. He ought to be
ostracised whenever he is
known to patronize these "Jim
Crow" institutions. This cor
respondent of the Freeman
ought to continue to draw his
salary from Uncle Sam and
cease making excuses for men
like this the above. There are
some people who are willing
and anxious to take anything
from some white people and
make any kind of excuses ior
them. Who ever heard of a
public theatre being a social in
StitutiOn as this man Thompson
alleges. If it is a social insti-
tuition and the people who pa
tronize it are all on a social lev
el, the Editor of The Bee
thinks too much of himself to
associate with many who enter
this place. If it is a cold blood

STRAIGHTEN THE HAIR
The Washington bee., 1910-03-05

SCCui Gu ICSiSIdlIOI WHICH gave
proper protection to such rights.
And we desire to be understood
in this, that reference is merely
made to this action of a former
President as the precedent for
petitioner and not for you, Mr.
President.
The objection may be made
that to accord these people the
rights at this time of proper en-
rollment, might delay the speedy
division and distribution of the
property of the Choctaw tribe.
To this it is sufficient to say that
the rights of citizens are not to
be determined by the time it will
take to administer the law under
which they arose. Justice can
not be measured by a timeDiece.
The deprivation of these rights
so fragrant and so patent that it
is not too much to say there has
never been any other admins
trative act, in time of peace,
which has so fagrantly destroy
ed the rights of number OF de
serving citizens.
We appeal to the President of
the United States, as the Chief
Executive, with confidence that
he will render his aid to the cor
rection of this injustice by rec
ommending to Congress the
speedy re-passage of the bill
which has already received the
approval of one branch of Con-
gress, in order that justice may
be finally defeated.

Mr.. Mayer, manager of the Ca

up a theatre for the exclusive pa
tronage of colored people this sum-
mer in the downtown district, to be
conducted on the general lines of the
Casino-vaudeville, motion pictures,

He does not admit Negroes at the
Casino, as he regards the theatre as
a social institution on the order or
a restaurant or barber shop, and
must operate his house with proper
regard for the local race customs in
vogue in the District of Columbia
He disclaims any anti-Negro feeling
on his own part, but said running
theatre is purely a cold-blooded
matter of business with him, and he
could not turn away 1000 white

not always strain tense nerves ana
muscles We must learn to relax. that
we may know how to economic our
nervous and muscular power. so that
some part of us will always be resting
while another is at work. This is liv-

secret of working tirelessly. resting
restfully, resisting disease throwing
of morbid feelings. of living healthful-
ly and feeling zest and enjoyment IN
our lives"
We are living unrhythmically when
we lie awake in the night with
harassed, with anxious. worrying
thoughts; when we rush to the sta
ton in great anxiety and reach it in
such good time that we. catch the train
before the one we went for: whenever
we get a feeling of being rushed or

The Aequittal of Browne.

The acquittal of Legislator Browne
Of Illinois, charged with bribing fell
low legislators to secure their votes
for Lorimer when the latter was elect
ed United States Senator last spring,
will be regarded by most honest citi-

evidence of this case, as a gross per-
version Of justice and an outrage a.
gainst good citizenship everywhere.
There was a chance to bubble over
technicalities, of course, and this is
exactly what was done by the attor-
neys who defended Browne, and which
seems to have been seized upon by the
members of the jury as an excuse for
deciding the bribery charges were "un-
proven. Yet undisputed testimony
goes to show that money was subse-
quently paid TO members of the legisla-
ture, who had suddenly and suspiciously
changed their votes to Lorimer, and
the only question was whether there
had been previous agreement in other
words, whether the change Of votes
was induced by an actual promise of

reasonable men are converted now. he
was one of the first to realize that gov
eminent by corporations is not self
government. No measure ever had his
support or opposition, save for consio-
erations of the geseral welfare. In his
present Office he has been the very ter
ror of the Senate. When he entered
that august and crooked hall, 1t was
freely predicted that he would be chlor-
oformed within year. Aldrich, whose
personal gain from political corruption
Bristol has recently made clear has
been quietly deyoting his power to the
defeat of La Toilette for reelection,
and the President, to his shame be 1t

cause. We believe the political oligar-

Bank Failures Could Have Been Averted.
Close upon the heels of the radical
shakeup in the ranks of the bank ex-
aminers, Comptroller of the Currency
Murray announced Saturday that he

conditions in all examination districts.
In deciding upon this course of action
the comptroller, in statement ad-

'In almost every case of a National
bank failure, since | have been

have been averted had the National
bank examiner determined the true
condition and reported his findings

ton in the administration in the
