IT MIGHT BE WORSE
ToR sALE ~

The persistency of the efforts put
forth by the Democrats of Maryland
to disfranchise the Negro voters OF
that State is paralleled as an act of
oppression only by the oppression and
persecution of the Jews of Russia.
And Russia is the home of the Mill
lists.
In all the years the Negro has
titled the soil of this country that dis
eliminates against him, not one
among them has ever made or threw
a bomb. and not one of them has ev-
er plotted against any of the rulers.
The Negroes of this country, the
long-suffering Negroes, would much
prefer to be permitted to live on with
malice towards none and with chari-
ty for all"
We beg the white men of Mary
land, those who believe that might is
not always right, that they do not
permit the race to be driven to the
last ditch. We want to live as free
men. not as slaves. Denying the
right of suffrage, and at the same
time exacting taxation is slavery over
again. Even worse. And God
knows the men and women of the
race would much prefer to fall as did
the Spartans at Thermopylae than to
ever again suffer slavery. And this
is not the preachment of inconsider-
ate radicals, but the sentiments of
slow-to-anger conservatives.
(The Bee, April 2, I9Io.)
What would you, Mr.. Editor?
With the supreme court lodging, the
Republican party straddling. nine
tenths of our own race indifferent,
and one of the Presidents chief ad-
visors openly advocating the whole
sale disfranchisement of the Negro
1t might be worse. But there is hope
for it is written that right can, will
and must prevail" And any nation
that will so demean itself as to seek
to thrive upon the wrongs and op-
pressions of weaker people is doom

Col. Lewis Jefferson the most sue
cessful steamboat operator in the
country announces that he is now
ready to receive dates for the excur-
sion season for his two boats, the
River Queen and the Jane Mosley.
these are two of the best boats that
run upon the Potomas waters. Col.
Jefferson has again renovated his
boats at a cost of several thousands
dollars and at the beginning of the
excursion season, the several excur-
sions that are under the control Of
Col. Jefferson will be frst-class.
The Bee states now as it has al
wavs stated that these two boats
should be encouraged for the reason
that Col Jefferson has made it pos
sible for colored Americans TO enjoy
themselves, when all other enter
prises of a similar character have
barred them. The coming season
will be the largest and the best in the
history. Secure your dates at once

THE BLACK MANS PLEA Fol
JUSTICE
A plea to the Honorable judges of
the Supreme Court of this. so-called
land of the free and equal, but which
is really land, where gross discrim-
ination dwells, where hypocrites go
hand and hand and whisper to each
other,
The secrets of some devilish plot to
crush their weaker brother.
Before the just, impartial law all
look the same;
1t matters not what kith or kin,
what color or what name,
The blackest man that ever lived
when brought before the bar
Besides the one as white as chalk
they both stand on a par.
A law thai will discriminate twixt
color, name or race,
Throws justice to the dogs and puts
rank hatred in its place.
A court that stands thus prejudiced
cannot impartially try
A single case twixt race and race,
else all true law books lie.
Before the Court, the highest Court
of these United States
l bring case your hOnorS please OF
of riots and wrongs and hates; !;
a case where gross injustice has been
done against my race,
A case that your decision sirs, can up
hold or erase.
In some parts of this country, sirs, it
has been thus declared
That certain grades of the unlearned
and poor must be debarred;
From certain rights and privileges
that they did once enjoy
These demagogues and copper heads
would fain those rights destroy.
1t would be all the same with us if
they'd but work it fair;
But listen close your honors please
I'll show you what and where
Rank hatred, deceit comes in to coun-
termand the laws
How with the devils cunning art
they use a certain clause.
To give their race a sweeping chance
and cut off half of ours
Despite the fact that justice gives TO
each man equal powers
You'll find the Constitution gives to
every man right
To exercise the ballot, sirs, let him
be black or white.
If in this case your honors find the
Constitution wrong
Just let the Constitution go, or it's
not worth SOU;
For what's the use to have a law with
gaps that's made to slide
To slip wrong in and shut right out
and uphold but one side?
If this is then your honors please the
doctrine of the free,
I hold my hands up heavenward, 0,
Lord deliver me.
I ask no redress for the wrong that's
heaped on US each day
But, I do ask your honors please if
they will take away,
The adverse rulings they have made
with malicious intent,
To take away our privilege and thus
our progress stint.
do ask that your honor will main
tain that sacred right,

held with all their main anC
