FREAK REQUESTS TO
SCHOOL SUPER|MTEND'T I

Denver. Aug. Communications
received by Katherine NJ. Cook, su-
perintendent of public instruction, are
many and varied, owing to wrong
impressions as to the scope OF her
department.
Some persons, believing the depart
ment philanthropic, write for aid in
securing an education. Others, re-
garding it more in the light of an
employment bureau. ask for positions
in the public schools of Colorado.
A few days ago a letter was receiv-

back to school in September, but must
raise $500 before this is possible.

her expenses during the school year.

NEGRO LEADER AND POLL.
TIGIAN.

The Negro politician Is no more.
At the Executive Mansion he is
persona non grata." His advice
is not asked by the counsels of the
party to which he is identified.
In States where he claims to hold
the balance of power he Is a pO-
litical nonenity. Where, then,
does the Negro politician stand!
The white man selects the Negro
he wants to fill a public office,
whether he IS acceptable to the
masses or not. That is what
makes so many Negro office hold
ers Objectionable to the masses.
The time has now come IN the
ranks of the masses for them to
select their own representatives
and honest men to represent them.
Negro politicians, like so-called
Negro leaders, are beings Of the
past. The masses have had enough
of this so-called Negro leadership
and quasi politician. They know
that they have never accomplished
anything but to betray them to the
white man and have themselves
cared for. To-day there seems to
be a new select kind of leader
ship springing up. Men are
bainr annOintpd TO office who
neither represent themselves nor
ANYBODY else. The Negro pOliti-
elan has not enough influence to
secure a spitton washers place for
his alleged constituent. Why does
the white man think that the Ne
gro he appoints to office has
power or force enough to lead the
masses? The Bee believes that a
new leadership composed of men
with force and influence will do
more to unite the masses than
those who are appointed by the
white man. 1t Is a mistaken idea
the white man has that offices make
leaders. There are thousands of
colofed men today who don't want
office; and there are thousands
who have been walking the
streets from administration to adj
ministratiOn starving to death,
waiting and wishing for an office.
Today the Negro politician is a
back number. Give us a new
leadership of men and not pigmies
and nnliticianS indeed and in fact.

is doing all the harm to those
who believe in good government
and in conducting themselves
properly. Is it not shameful and
disgusting to many when they
board a street car to see the rowdy
element misbehave? This class
doesn't seem to realize the predic-
ament they are putting the we'll
behaved colored people in. 1t is
embarrassing to see this class,
right out of the ditch, the gutter
and other filthy places get upon
a street car and make for the very
best seats in the car, with filthy
and dirty clothing on. These are
the conditions the well-behaved
and respectable people of all races
must confront. What do we see
Men and women intoxicated ;
with arms around each other.
Some of them asleep, drunk and
disorderly. We have friends
when we know how to act in the
presence of our friends, and when
our friends hear our enemies
speak well of US. For these rea-
sons we have Jim Grow" cars,
theaters and other Jim Grow" in
stitutions. The way to succeed is
to deport ourselves in an orderly
manner. No white manor high
class cultured white manor wO-
man will attempt to disgrace re-
spectability. The day will come
when this class of people will dis
criminate between the good and
bad. When we enter car or a
public place, see to it that you
act like human beings and not
like heathens. We have friends
and can hold them if we will.
Our children in our schools
should be taught good manners.
This can only be done when we
have a proper head. The white
man knows the weakness of the
race, and it is necessary to have
strong head to force discipline.
Let there be a change In our
school head and conditions will
be better. The cOlOred schools
need a friend at their head.

being satisfied, he said that be
Will fly in the air. The colored
man is getting ready to fly in the
air also. To get even with the
colOred man, the white man now
declares that the colored man shall
live in another section of the city.
The cOlOred man doesn't care
what part of the city you send
him as long as you will let him
live, and there is one thing GER
tain: when this class of white peO-
pie die and 90 to hades they will
90 where they will find no auto
mobiles, air ships, or separate sec
tiOns, but if they can find a cool
ing place in the stomach of a col
ored thug, bum, of thief there they
will certainly make for it.
The Bee is always happy and
contented, because it knows the
day is not far off when the white
man will be convinced that he has
been a fool.

ASSESSOR RICHARDS.

Mr.. W. p. Richards, the Asses
sor for the District of Columbia.
is no doubt one of the fairest and
most honest men in our local gov
ernment. He is the Chairman eX-
OfficiO of the Excise Board, and
the men connected with that
Board are well-knOwn business
men, against whom nothing can
be said, and no honest man will
say anything derogatory of them.
Mr.. Richards is a business man
of high moral character. He does
not believe In doing a wrong TO
his fellow-citizens. He, as well as
other members of the Excise
Board, would rather help a citizen
than to injure him.
The people know Mr.. Richards.
The Commissioners know him to
be man above reprOach. The

have faith In him, and they are
also confident that the assessor
office is placed upon a higher basis
than it has ever been.
There is a uniform system OF
handling the business. His assist
ant, Mr.. Adams, is an able and
bright young man who has the re-
spect of the Commissioners and
all who know him. He is an
affable gentleman and very bust
nesslike. Mr.. Richards has in Mr..

The Republicans, in an effort to
emphasize their employment of the
Negro, say:
THE Library OF Congress is one of
the great Libraries of the world. One
of the assistants, Daniel Murray, has
spent several years in research among
the books OF the library, and has been
.able to identify approximately 6,oOO
titles of work by colored authors.
To many who are wont to belittle
the literary capacity of the race, this
will prove astounding information.
COlored composers have written more
than 5000 musical compositions.
There are 48 Afro-American en-

"UncIe Toms Cabin. "

The announcement that this famous
play is to appear is always welcome
by the people of any community, be
it a great city or a crossroads town,
for the story of Uncle Tom and lit
tie Eva is one that has perhaps never
been equaled in a pathos and heart
interest in the history of American
literature. Since the great story that
IS admitted to have been one of the
most potent causes of the civil war
and the consequent liberation of the
Southern slaves was first produced as
a drama, it has been seen at one time
or another by practically every
American citizen, rich or poor, young
or old, and yet to-day it is as popu-
lar, as largely patronized, and as in
teresting as it was when it made its
first appearance. It is one of the very
few plays that have appeared on the
American stage that can be seen over
and over again, and each time with
increasing interest, for it is a drama
that has its foundation in the heart
strings of suffering and appeals to the
great and kindly heart of this mighty
commonwealth of America.

HON @ B SLEMP-

One of the best friends to all
classes of American citizens In
the United States Is the Hon. G.
B. Slemp, of the Ninth Congress
siOnal district of the State of Vir-
ginia. This young man, although
he may not have such a lengthy
record as many statesmen IN this
country and the State of Vir-
ginia, has secured for the peO-
pie of his district and State more
than any Representative from the
State of Virginia. In the appoint
ment of men to office, Mr.. Slemp
has always considered the fitness
of the applicant and his fidelity
to the government and the party
he represents.
He is not indicative towards
his enemies, because he IS a Chris
tan man. He has risen from a
page in the House of Delegates of
Virginia, in which capacity he
soon learned the rules and laws
of government.
While pursuing his work as a
page henever lost an opportunity
to study, as his record will show.
He graduated from the Virginia
Military Institute, taking the
highest honOrs, which is an evi-
dence of his fitness.
Virginia is proud of him, the
Nation honors HIM, and certainly
such valuable man, if not elect
ed, would be a loss to our National
Congress. Virginia would lose
much if he is not returned, and ii
is the firm belief of The Bee that
the Ninth Congressional district
of the State of Virginia will hon
or the State by returning to the
National House of Congress this
Christian, patriot, scholar and, In
deed, one of the noblest Romans
of them all.
