Middleton of the Police Court
to succeed Judge I. G. Kimball
meets with universal approval.
The policy of Judge Middleton
will not be to fill the jail and
work house with minor offend
ers,nor will he impose fines to in
crease the revenue of the Dis
trict treasury. Judge Middleton
is a humanitarian. He believes
in the probationary principle,
The Bee has never thought it
right or just to convict an indi-
vidual because he has made one
mistake in life. The record of
Judge Middleton is OF such a
character that will warrant his
speedy confirmation by the SEN
ate. There is no reason that he
should not be confirmed at once.
The Attorney General has found
a man of his own temperament.
He has selected a man who
is firm in his convictions as well
as just to all classes regardless
of color or conditions.
The Bee knows Judge Middle
ton to be a man learned in law
as we'll as man who has heart.
This is the kind of a man Judge
Middleton is and the kind of a
man who should be judge of the
Police Court.

PROF. JOHN T. LAYTON

PROF. JOHN T. LAYTON
The musical director of the color
ed schools, Prof. John T Layton,
is no doubt the proper person to be
at the head or in charge of the
music for the Exposition in 1913.
Prof. Layton has made a record OF
which he should feel proud.
Prof. Layton has won his way to
the front ranks in music by hard
work and strict applications to
duty. He has not won his way by
favortism, but by competitive exami-
nations. In every instance he has
won. Just think of it, one thousand
voices at the Exposition in 1913,
conducted by the greatest colored
The Washington bee., 1910-01-22

American musical directors in the
United States. The musical depart
,ment of the colored schools have
never been in better condition than
it is today. Prof. Layton is a man
who takes interest in his work and
there is no doubt that chorus of one
thousand voices in every branch of
music would be a great acquisition
to the Exposition. The Bee has the
most implicit confidence in the abili-
ty of Prof. Layton to give the
American people one of the great
est musical renditions that has ever
taken place in this country among
colored Americans.

missioners of the District of Co

and Macfarland, he carefully
considered the fitness of the two
men. Mr.. Rudolph is beyond all
doubt one OF the cleanest and
best known men in this city. Mr..
Johnson is equally as well known
as Mr.. Rudolph. Both men
have great executive ability and
The Bee is confident that thty
will run our local government
upon strict business basis. Mr..
Rudolph, of course, is better
known to the people of Wash
ington than General Johnson. He
has mingled among them. He
knows their likes and their dis
likes. and as we'll as their wants
The Bee is confident that they
both new Commissioners will
give all the people square deal.
| There is no reason that the color
ed citizens wso pay taxes on
over ten million dollars north of
property should not have repre-
sentative places in Our local gov
ernment. The Bee believes that
the new Commissioners will see
the colored Americans in this city
in a different light in which they
have heretofore been observed or
seen. The Bee believes that the
ninety thousand colored citizens
of Washington will be treated as
citizens.
There is no reason or excuse
to ignore the claims of ninety
thousand colored citizens. Just
think of it. There are only four
jcolored clerks employed in our
local government, to wit: Messrs.
David Warner, Montague,
Langton and Cheek. There IS
young man employed in the
Water Department by the name
of Alexander Lewis, as a mes
senger and who knows more
about that department than his
chief. He is fully competent and
vet no Engineer Commissioner
has seen fit to promote him. The
Bee will look for better treat
ment of colored men from the
two new commissioners. The
Bee is Of the opinion that color
| ed citizens will be recognized as
citizens. The Bee is of the opin-
ion that both Mr.. Rudolph and
General Johnson will see that all
prejudice and discrimination
against colored Americans be en-
tirely eliminated.
Both of these gentlemen will
please accept the sincere con-
gratulations of the colored citi-
zens of Washington and The Bee
with the hope that they will re-
ceive recognition at their hands.

KNOCKERS

cOlored man is not the only
knocker in the United States.
Well, there are as many knock
ers among white people as there
are among the colOred. The
The Bee finds the small white
man doing dirty work as it finds
the small colored man. If the
knocker is not nominated for the
particular job that he is anxious
to get he will knock his more
successful competitor. Presi-
dent Taft had merry time with
the knockers when he was select
ing the two District Commission
ers to succeed Messrs. West and
MaCfarland. The President has
the same trouble with the new
Judge OF the Police Court. The
knockers are saying all kinds OF
/
things about him. The fight on
Mr.. Middleton by the friends OF
Judge Knnball will not help
their candidates. The President
has determined to appoint sue
cessor to Judge Kimball and
whether Mr.. Middleton is or is
not confirmed a new man will be
| Judge of the Police Court.
A man to be judge of the Po-
lice Court should be a broad
guaged individual like Mr.. Mid
dleton. The knockers have told
the President that Mr.. Middleton
has never practiced law. A man
can be lawyer without being on
dress parade before the court
all the time. Washington must
be the most crooked city in the
United States because straight
men from the stand point of the
knockers are hard to find.

IDLE TALK

Some cOlored editors as well
as some colored people who are
not editors have great gift for
idle talk. A local contemporary
said a few days ago, in his paper
that he would make war on the
saloons and the liquor traffic in
this city. This individual by
hard struggle gets out his publ
cation.
The editors are employed un-
der the government and were it
not for there government jobs,
undoubtedly their publications
would die a natural death. This
same publication declared that it
would not publish an advertise
ment OF a saloon. If its readers
will carefully read the columns
of this publication they will see
one whiskey advertisement for
which the editors were given five
dollars and Notwithstanding the
expiration Of the time for which
the advertisement was to run, it
continues in this publication.
Some few years ago a colored
organization started out to close
up all dry goods and shoe stores
and apartment houses that refuse
to employ colored statesmen and
women. The white houses could
not be coaxed in giving employ
ment to colored girls and boys
so it died a natural death. Then
a shoe store was started by a col
ored man who had been formerly
employed in Holmes store as a
porter and quasi salesman. Ap-
peals were made to the cOlOred
people to purchase shoes from
this man because he was color
ed man, but all without avail.
This cOlOred firm did not sell
shoes enough to pay rent. Some
colored people can do more idle
talk than any other nationality in
this country. They have been
talking so long in this city until
they have almost talked them
selves out of their homes and 1t
will only be a question of time
before they talk themselves out
of the control of their public
schools. There is something
radically wrong some where. ThS
Bee is preparing a history OF the
colored schools in this city, show
ing their defects and why they
fail and what now is needed to
make them succeed. There is too
much idle talk among cOlored
people in this city. If they start
an enterprise, they will get tired
before they finish it and abandon
the job. If you place some of
them in positions of honor and
trust they talk themselves out be-
fore the expiration of their term.
This is a great place for inviting
new orators to make speeches.
The people go wild over a new
man. He can get anything from
the natives and almost do any
thing. A man with back record
Is less talked about in this city
than new man with no record
at all. There are takers on the
sham order who have more infu-
ence over the people than any
other class of individuals. Talk
ative shams control the social
circle.
