Lost or Gone Astray?
!. EDITOR of The Bee

To the Editor of The Bee:
The readers of The Bee will please
pardon me for asking such a peril
nent question: mean no harm what
ever-but what, pray tell us, has be
come of one Mr.. Lewis, a prominent
cOlOred lawyer. OF Boston, Mass, who
was before the last election to have
been appointed Assistant Attorney
General Of the United States?
The appointment, so the newspapers
said, was to be made as a just rec
ognition of the Negro race Why has
not Mr.. Lewis been appointed ere
now Has the Negro race been
weighed in the scales since the last
election and is found wanting?
Now. I repeat, | don't mean any
harm by asking such an embarrassing
question, but really there Is a screw
loose somewhere. In short, There
Is a nigger in the wOodpile' Big
voluntary promises seldom, if ever.
amount to very much. and the. cOlored
people are beginning to show signs of
having but little faith in them. All of
the ColOred people have been fooled
i'm the past. but the shreWdest poll
ticians will find If an uphill business
to fool the majority of them in the
future.
But we 60 back to that little en-
barrassing question. What has be
come Of the COlOred Assistant l. 5.
Attorney General?' (That appoint
ment was to be made in just recogni-
ton Of the>colored race) VIII some
of the colored newspaper editors give
the race some information as to why
the appointment hasn't been made?
We call upon the editors and lead
ers q of the race to guide us in this
wilderness of ignorance as to why the
race Iewis) hasn't yet been recog-
nized. Can you tell us?-Joseph c.
Cunningham.

Through the activity of Dr. w. B.
Evans, the Business High School has
received a set Of new file cases and
eight new typeWriters. DR.. Evans
activity in trying to improve the
equipment Is worthy of cOmmcnda-
ton. in view of the attitude Of some
other officials toward the school
The second gun in the campaign
for a new Business High School will
be fired under the auspices of joint
committee of citizens associations
and other prominent men. Mr. Muir
ray. who is in charge of the school, Is
very active IN organizing sentiment,
and promises some concrete results
IN the near future. One of Mr MU-
rays pet schemes Is the establishment
of d bank at the school, and by the
beginning Of the new school year he
hopes to have it in working shape
The citizens certainly ought to en-
courage young Mr.. Murray in his eff
forts TO have a successful Business

The True Reformers VIII Furnish
Money.

The officers and members of the
! Grand Fountain of the United Order
of True RcfOrmers have decided upon
q uniform plan to furnish money to
meet It's obligations to all those who
hold claims against 1t on account OF
death. They have three reasons why
they should save the order:
First, to protect the people who
hold claims against the order.
Second. to protect the old men and
women who have supported the organ
ization for the past 20 or 25 years and
are now too old TO join any other or
ganization, should this go out OF eN-
iStence.
Third. the members have thorough
| ly made up their minds not to be
! towards, but men and women, who
| can meet financial difficulties like
other races without giving up in de
spair.
Their plan is as follows: Every
member who really desires to save the
order Is asked first TO square up IN full
| the books OF his or her Fountain; then
every one Of the 10000 members is
asked to loan the Grand Fountain
from S., $40, SIS or SIOO, with o per
cent interest
| This plan to finance the order has
been o. k.-d by the insurance commits
sioners, and unanimously decided
upon by the. True Reformers in every
section of the country, which means
no failure.
Friends of the organization are
coming to the aid of the members in
keeping this great order in operation
for the inspiration it has given to rep
resentatives of other Orgs nizatiOns-
Fifty thousand dollars is no more
| for 10000 members to raise than it
IS for a small church congregation to
raise $1,000.
Chief w. R. Griffin called his peo-
pie together and told them what plan
had been decided upon by Mr.. A. w.
Holmes, Grand Master. and in less
