Plain Facts.

The time has come that the COlOred
man will be last in nothing. AS a
matter of fact, the colored man has
all the fine senses the white man has,
and when an opportunity is given him
to put them all in operation, he will
go down to pOsterity as the white
mans equal.-The Bee.
Discrimination.
God made the world and all things
therein, seeing that He is Lord Of
heaven and earth
And hath made of one blood all na-
tions to dwell on the face of the
earth Bible
God created all men equal, OF one
blood all men were made,
Yet the whites judge all inferior who
are of a darker shade
Just one drop of life's red fluid traced
from EthiOpia's strand,
Makes you as an unClean being-taints
you with the Jim Crow" brand.
Matters not how pure, how noble;
matters not how good how true;
IF you're black, brown or mulatto,
it's the Jim Crow" brand for you.
You may be as rich as John D., be
as wise as Socrates,
Crackers in the South will hail you,
Niger, take the Jim Crow, please"
Oh, yes, you can hire a special, if
you are man of means,
Else it's one end OF one front car
crowded, packed in like sardines,
While the lowest, dirtieSt white folk
ride the best cars everywhere,
Yet you buy first-class ticket, and
you pay a first-clasS fare
They tell me that this country is the
land where justice dwell;
That all good folk go to heaven, and
all bad folk go to h;
That the white folk are the models;
that the black folk should initiate
If we'd initiate them fully our hearts
would be filled with hate;
And they say that loves the lever that
pulls all mankind on high
If that's true, why, then, most black
folk surely ought to reach the sky.
If there is a prize for loving enemies
who persecute,
Then the Son of Ham will surely win
that prize beyond dispute
Lynched and burned, Jim Crowed,
downtrodden, thrust aside on every
hand,
We that boast of truth and justice,
country, home and native land.
Oh, we have friends by the hundred
who would give all square DEAL
Else we'd all be ground to powder
meath the Negro-hater's heel.
God created all men brothers; of one
blood all men were made
And He knows none by their color, |
creed, nor rank, nor wealth, nor
grade
Hearts, pure hearts, and souls are
counted ever precious in His sight;
There's no line to bar good people, |
whether yellow, black or white.
In that land there is real welcome for
all who will enter in
There's no Jim Crow laws, no lynch

Some few days ago there ap-
peared in one of the local papers
a statement to the effect that a
recommendation would be made to
introduce industrial education in
the cOlOred schools. The Bee
would like to know what good
will there be for the Armstrong
Manual Training School? The
Bee was under the impression that
the Armstrong Manual Training
School taught all the industrial
that was necessary. What
does this school teach? Sewing,
carpentry, engineering,
and everything else that will tend
to make a man or a woman a live
lihood. just what this college su-
perintendent is trying to get
the heads of the people
The Bee is unable to state. Per
haps he wants to pull some more
wool over the eyes of the Board of
Education. Superintendent Stu
art knows just what the cOlOred
schools have and he is aware that
they don't want to be burdened
with any more imaginary indus
trial fancies.

SCROGGINS' SPECIAL.

VIII Scroggins' special left the
city for Leesburg, Va, November
10, with a happy crowd On board.
While the crowd was a jolly one,
many of the old boys failed to
show up. The Bee failed to see
that old familiar and smiling face
of Jim Jackson at the genial
Dades Wash. Wood at Gray's.

THE COLORED TEACHER.

It is hoped that the Board of
Education will do all in its power
to have the teachers pension bill
to become a law. There are no
teachers IN the United States who
suffer more than the colOred
teachers in the colOred schools of
this city. What is needed, as The
Bee stated some time ago, IS a man
at the head of the colored schools
who is in touch with the teachers
and other officers of the colored
schools. Conditions are of such
nature IN the cOlored schools that
teachers seem to die of nervous
prOstratiOn. Why is this? 1t is
because of the conditions in the
COlOred schools. There is at this
time a great need for the teachers
pension bill. The Bee ventures
the assertion, if it were possible
for the bill to become a law, three
fOurths of the teachers in the col
Ored public schools would take ad-
vantage of the bill under existing
conditions. The Bee is in a po-
sitiOn to know the feeling of the
teachers in the public schools. If
the Board of Education would
poll the vote of the teachers as
to their choice for superintendent,
the contest would be between
Prof. Montgomery and Mr.. James
jackson. Of course, Prof. Mont
gOmery is a favOrite with the
teachers. There is no man in the
public schools better loved or ap-
precited than Prof. Montgomery.
The Bee takes this opportunity of
informing the Board of Education
of the unrest among the colored
teachers. If the Board doubts
The Bee-and it cannot make a |
change and see what a jubilatiOn
there will be, not only among the
teachers, but among the citizens of
this city. The Bee intends to |
demonstrate to the Board when |
Congress cOnvenes the sentiment |
of the people.
Let the teachers pension bill
pass.
The people, that is the col
Ored people, don't appreciate
their teachers as much as the
white people. What the colored
citizens ought to do is to give the
cOlOred teachers association a tes-
timOnial of a substantial charac-
ter. Some few years ago the
white teachers gave a fair at Con-
vention Hall Thousands of dol
lars were realized. Very soon af-
ter that the colOred teachers held |
a fair, and, to the surprise of ev-
little over a hundred
dollars was realized.
1t can be seen that the white
people have a greater regard for
their teachers than the colOred peo-
pie. We have some fine col0red
teachers in our schools who are
manly and wOmanly enough to re-
sent any kind of imposition. Then
there are a few who are afraid to
exercise their manhood. There is
little redress for the cOwardly
teacher. It is quite necessary for
many of them to show a few of
the tyrants in the schools that they
have rights that must be respect
ed. The cOlored teachers are often
compelled to appeal to the white
members of the Board of Educa-
tiOn for things that are necessary
for their schools. Since such is a
fact, why not place the colored
under white management
1t will certainly come to that.
The people don't propose to see
their schools leave them and their
ignored.
Let there be a change and let
the pension bill pass.

Credit Belongs to prs.ld.n,.

When Mr.. Taft's administration
opened he said unequivocally that 1t
would be an administration run with
due regard to the governments In
come. Almost his first executive acts
were concerned with the establish
ment of business system in the de-
partments through which money could
be saved to the people by foresight
and strict economies. For the first
time he Appropriated the idea Of the
English budget in outlining a common
financial policy for the different cab
met members.
Thus it is to the president as we'll as
to the secretary of the treasury that
the credit for the year-end surplus
must 60 And coming. as 1t does, right
on top of the unprecedented long list
of legislative triumphs of the admins
tration, 1t must give another FLIP to

The Linen industry.

Mr.. Pogue, In an address delivered
before the Franklin institute in Phila-
delphia. called attention to the fact
that this country burns 100000 to
100000 tons of fax fiber each year
after extracting $60,000,000 Of linseed
oil and cake. The straw that is
burned II manufactured into fiber
would be worth $600.0O0,000. Here is
an opening for great industry in this
country. There is no linen industry
to amount to much at the present time
but in time, If sufficiently protected,
such an industry will be created here
that will give employment to thoa-
sands of American workmen and pro-
duce in this country the linen which Is

President Taft's Source o. Strength.
It is said that Mr.. Taft has OBJ
tanned large part OF the legislation
that he wished, and this is due In great
part to quiet insistence on his. part
rather than to the exhibition Of
strength or the use of more dictatorial
methods than he has pursued. In
making this comment upon Mr.. Taft's
history up to this time in the White
House. undoubtedly fact has been
stated, but we shall lose the point Of
1t entirely II we do not go beyond and
see what the conclusion ia that we are
to draw. It Is. namely. that the result
of Mr.. Taft's methods shows what Is
gradually dawning upon the world,
that the least important force is that
known as physical, whether in its
coarser or more refined FORMS and
that the clumsy methods Of noise and
overbearing display Of strength must
always yield before an idea, provided
that idea be good. 1t Is not Mr.. Taft's
idea or anybody's idea Of right that
wins, but tits the idea itself that wins
and carries us forward.-Christian
