BRUTAL OUTRAGE

In another column of The Bee
will be read with disgust a most
brutal outrage ever perpetrated
upon a human being. Just think
of it, that a young child hardly
I3 years of age being outraged
by a white man, and he being
tried without the semblence Of
mob violence. O! had this been
Negro! what mobs would have
assembled, and press dispatches
would have been sent broad
cast throughout this world. Calm
and obedient to the laws of this
country the colored man will do
nothing in violation of law even
when one of his innocent babes
is being outraged. The facts and
circumstances in this case are
too revolving to publish.

NATHAN 3. SCOTT.

s-@-N@fassE1 ~ 7
Now and then there looms up
in the front ranks a man whose
rugged character, whose sense of
Justice. and whose sincerity IS such
that he recognizes manhood no
matter whether it dwells beneath
a white or black skin. Such a man
is Senator Nathan B. Scott, of
West Virginia.
In this commercial age, in which
competition is so keen and inces-
SAINT that sentiment is subOrdinated
to the mad desire for wealth, the
result of which is the weaker IS
thrust to the wall, the Negro each
day and each year finds the ranks
of his real friends growing thinner.
Not that down deep in their hearts
there does not lodge in man the be-
| lief that all men have a right to
| liberty and justice, but because the
thirst for wealth subvertS all that
| is best in man. Senator Scott is
one of those few men in public life
whose recognition of manhood and
manhood rights is not influenced
Ibv either the mans complexion or
1.-The mans station in life The hum
Iblest citizen, to him, is an object
| for Justice, whether his color be
Ililv white. seal-brown or swarthy
iblack. When the Colored Y. NJ.
IC. A. of this city was struggling
| to raise a sum for its building, upon
the raising of which was contin-
gent the gift of like sum by Mr..
Rockefeller, Senator Scott came
forward with a gift of $3.50. That
demonstrated his interest in the
uplift of the race. But there has
never been a time, during his mem
Ibership of Congress, and before,
when his help could not be count
ed upon. It is not merely the
Negroes of West Virginia who are
interested in his return to the Sen
ate. but the Negroes throughout
| this country. Not merely the Ne
groes. but the plain, common peo-
Die. whose champion he is, in ev-
Ierv section of the land. He is a
man who stands for men, no mat
ter what their color, race or creed.

THE BOARD OF EDUCA-
TION

The attack on the Board of
Education is unjust as well as
unfair. These faithful public
servants are serving the people
without hope of reward or COM
pensation. The schools, with but
one exception are doing well.
The Bee states now as it did last
week that each and every mem
Der of the Board of Education
will receive the approval of the
people regardless of what the
enemies may say or do. Why
should there be change in the
management of our schools? The
speech of Representative Olcott
of New York in defense of our
schools was indeed commend
able. There is not a more faith
full officer than Captain Oyster,
who has sacrificed his business to
serve the schools and he receives
for his reward abuse from peo-
pie who don't know the real
needs of our schools.

1t needs but little observation
of business interests and tenden-

and sagacity of white business
men have so centralized and mo-
nopolized Pennsylvania Avenue,

Negro business man quite ex-
clusively.
The same tendency mas mani

terests.
1t seems to be the inevitable
trend of circumstances that the
only up-to-date business center
and opportunity for a respectable
thoroughfare for colored peo-
pie lies on You street, between
9TH and 18th streets, with pos
sibly adjacent blocks running
along the intermediate streets
especially nth street.
Anent such logical trend Of
circumstances colored people
in the past two years, have eth
er built, bought and contracted
for, fully one hundred thousand
/ dollars worth OF property for
business purposes in the above
vicinity.
This estimate includes such
theatres as the Maceo, the Hia-
watha, the Minnie Ha Ha, the
Dunbar and another under con
struction on G and You streets,
the Northwest Cafe, building and
loan association properties, one
sculptor, one cigar, one dress
maker, and two tailoring estab-
hshments.
This estimate does not include
the Y. NJ. c. A. which will cost
I$IOO,OOO, and such old establish
ed business as the True Reform
er's Hall, Gray and Gray, Davis
Brothers drug stores, cafe, un-
dertakers establishments and
many other business interests
that space does not allow us to
mention now.
Thus nearly half a million dol
lars are invested here in business
enterprises.
Here lies the future centraliz-
ed business opportunity for col
Iored Washington.
These up-to-date theatres,
which install in May an amaz-
ing program, should serve more
and more to centralize business
interests here. The Bee appeals
to its readers to get busy, to uti-
Ilize their best energies for furth-

HOWARD'S- CATATOG

~ L
Volume I, No. I. of the cata-
logue OF Howard University has
Just been published and distrib-
uted. 1t is no doubt the best
and most concise and complete
catalogue that has ever been
published by that institution.
The catalogue is an evidence of
the work of DR.. Thirkield, the
president, who has done so
much to make Howard Univer-
sity one of the greatest institu-
tions in the United States. DR..
Ihirkield has not only made this
a great institution for the colored
youth, but he is one Of the races
greatest defenders. His many
utterances in defense of the col
ored race have been manly,
eloquent and fearless. What
ever DR.. Thirkield has done has
been to elevate the high stand
ard of Howard University and
its patrons. The catalogue, just
published should be in the
hands of every lover of the in
stitution.
There is a strong faculty at
this institution in all of its
branches. The Board of Trus-
tees is composed of some of the
strongest and greatest jurists in
the country. Justice Job Banard,
one of the judges of the Supreme
Court of the District of Column
bia is president. He is a man,
loved and honOred for his fair
ness and humanity for all living
beings. Judge Thomas H. An
drew another member Of the
Supreme Court of the District of
Columbia and a member of the
Board of Trustees is another
friend of the race and a man who
means to be fair and just to all.
Hon. Cuno H. Rudolph, Com
missioner of the District of Co
lumbia also a member of the
Board, is beyond all doubt a
true friend of the colOred race
and not too big to give the most
humble citizen respectful hear
ing.

SECRETARY BALLENGER
If there is one man in the Cab
met Of President who deserves
the support of the nation, it is
the Secretary of Interior R. A.
Ballenger. Of all political per
secutions, there is none more
damnable and outrageous as the
one that has been instigated
against Secretary Ballenger. Ev-
cry effort has been made by the
scandalmongers to besmirch
the official record and the name
of an honest and upright man.
The most filthy libel that has
been published was by Golfers
Weekly. Notwithstanding the
many charges and allegations
that have been made against
him, not one has been substan-
tiated by proof. There is every
reason to believe that the dis
tinguished Secretary will be
fully indicated by the Joint
Committee of the Senate and
House of Representatives and
why, also should he not be by
the popular sentiment of the
country? The investigation thus
far shows that the secretary is a
victim of malice and a conspir-
.acy of the most outrageous
character. The testimony thus
far shows that he entered the
Cabinet of President Taft with
an unblemished character and
reputation and it is the belief OF
The Bee that the final result will
be vindication unqualified.
There was a time when small
men were guilty of corruption
and conspiracy, but today we
find supposed great men the
agents of demagogery and dirty
work. Legitimate criticism is
always welcomed by public
men, but when people stoop to
meaness and fragrant lying the
| law should exercise its jurisdic-
ton and handle the assassins,
Every act of Mr.. Ballenger
since he entered the Cabi-
net of President Taft, not only
shows that he is a man above
suspicion but shows that he is
an innocent victim of disappoint-
ed and corrupt politicians. If
there is one thing the admins
tration has endeavored to do, and
that is to fight out corruption III
high places. In this particular
Secretary Ballenger has been an
active exponent. If he has fail
ed. the fault lies with his SubOr-
dinates, or those in whom he
placed implicit confidence to
carry out his reforms. It IS firm
Ilv believed that the country has
confidence in him. 1t is believed
THAT President Taft will see that
Ihonest men in his Cabinet shall
be protected against the attacks
of conspiritors. As an evidence
lof the falsity of the allegations
Iagainst the secretary, no articles
LOT impeachment have been
Imooted, no criminal prosecution
lin the court has been justified by
1.-THE evidence. Then, there car
be nothing to the charges and al
Legations but an attempt to de
stroy the political reputation o
the secretary.
