REPUBLICAN JUGGLERY.

hLI ODLIOAN y UUUJLEh
President Taft has decided to
nominate Edward Douglass
White, of Louisiana, to the Chief
Justiceship of the Supreme Court
of the United States. This is
the highest office in the gift of the
administration and next to the
Presidency of the United States.
Mr.. White Is an ex-Confederate
and a dyed-in-the-woOl Democrat.
He served with distinction in the
Confederate army, and it is said
that he IS man of great judicial
mind. 1t IS quite evident from
this appointment that there was
no Republican Judge who had
fought with distinction in the
American army to be placed
upon the Cupreme Court Bench.
This appointment should teach
the cOlOred voters of the country
a lesson, and it should be a les
son to every cOlOred American.
During the last campaign the Re-
publican Congressional Committee
sent broadcast throughout the
United States to every Republican
editor the danger of supporting
the Democratic party or any Dem
Ocrat; that the cOlOred Ameri-
cans could not afford to desert
the Republican party and elect to
office any Democrat.
This IS what The Bee calls Re
publican campaign jugglery. If
a Republican President can afford
to ignore such Republican Judges
as Wright, Gould, Barnard, Cla-
baugh, Stafford, Anderson,
Hughes and many other eminent
Republican Judges in the United
States and appoint a Southern,
ex-Confederate Democrat Chief
Justice of the United States, why
can't the cOlOred Americans make
terms with Southern Democrats
and make a plea for the repeal of
obnoxious laws?
The Bee has always maintained
that the colored voters of this
country can afford to do what
white men can do. There are some
good ex-COnfederate Democrats
in this country who are not 50
hypOcritical as some Republicans
Republican campaign managers
should cease prejudicing the col
Ored Americans against those
who may have fought in the Con,
federate army or may be Demo,
Gratis.
This appointment is enough t.
teach colored men to think and act
for themselves. If Republican
Presidents can afford to appoin
such men as White, of Louisiana
and Lemar, of Georgia, certainl!
cOlOred Americans can afford t.
vote the Democratic ticket in 1919
The time has come for the col
Ored man to think wisely for him
self. The white man has, eve
since reconstruction, been think
ing and acting for the colore
brother. The administration cor
tinues to fatten hogs for sucker.
During the two administrations @
President Cleveland he never az
pointed a Republican Judge, bU
the Democratic Judges he az
pointed, however, were men of tn
highest character and distinction
The appointment of Mr.. Whit
is a reflection on every Republ
can Judge and lawyer in til
United States. It looks like "
haven't a competent Republica
Judge in the United States, tn
venerable Justice Harlan not e1
cepted. What Republican jug
glery is this?

ASSURANCE.


Elsewhere in The Bee will be
read with surprise and gratifica-
ton, if true, the four great prop
ositions which were submitted a
Democratic conference of the
leading men in the country in the
committee room of Hon. Champ
Clark, of Missouri, by Bishop Al
exander Walters, of New York, no
doubt one of the most fearless and
race-loving representatives in the
country.
Bishop Walters makes an ap-
peal to the Democratic party for
fair play for colored Americans.
The Republican party, while it
has done everything for the col
ored man, is responsible for his
present political condition. The
Democratic party has fooled Re
publican administrations by assur-
| ING them that if the colored man
was eliminated from politics, con-
ditions in the South and the out
look for a white mans Republican
party would be assured.
Republican Presidents and ad'
ministrations have been intoxicat.
ed into the belief of the sincerity
of the Lily-white Republicans
| and the Democratic party. Presi
dent Hayes was the first man t.
select a Southern Democratic
postmaster, and it continued al
down the line. President Taf
. has been fooled into the belle.
that if he would eliminate coloreC
men from politics and Office in tn
| South many of the Democrat,
States would be in the Republican
= column. How much has Presiden
; Taft realized this fond hope? No
only has the administration an(
the Republican party consented
; to the disfranchisement o
the colored Americans in tn
South, but have turned
over to the Democratic part,
of the South every office held b!
a cOlored man and white Repub
Ilicans who were to some eXten
friendly to the colored Ameri
? cans.
What is Bishop Walters and hi
followers up against? While the!
are indebted to the Republican
party, they must now change con
ditions on the political swamp il
which the colored voter has beer

trialism. The former has done
nothing but to preach his pet
hobby of manhood rights without
suggesting a remedy as to how
the colored American is to exist
in this country of prejudice and
discrimination. The latter not
only gives a remedy, but actually
builds monuments and equips
them with tools and other imple-
ments and sends his pupils broad
cast throughout this civilized
world to enable them to teach
their fellow-man how to exist
and be a function in the American
body polite.
Which one of the two doctrines
will be chosen? Which is the
more beneficial to the colored
American-bombastic glib, inaug-
urated by paid hirelings, or doc
trine which will stand the test of
himsy arguments and be lesson
to posterity?
Du Bois, the agitator who
dreams of dark future.
Washington, the philosopher,
the peace-maker and the teacher
of good citizenship.
Du Bois, who awakes from d
sleep and tells a dream of mag
mary greatness and future
which shall never realize.
Washington, whose every utter
ance is a plea for fair play and
recognition according to merit.
Du Bois, whose greatness is on
paper, and attacks upon those who
are benefactOrs Of a race.
Washington, who has convinced
the South that the cOlored Amer
leans want nothing but an oppor-
tunity to do and be protected in
their civil and political rights.
Du Bois, who fees from the
South and establishes his can
mons in the North to enable him
to fire and lombard those South
ern people who are doing what he
claims the colOred Americans lack.
Washington, who remains in the
enemy's camp and pleas with him
that the wrongs that are being in
flicted are unjust and unreasOn-
able.
The apostle of industrialism is
doing to-day what no living hun
dred colored men are doing, eX-
cept one, and he is at Durham,
n. Cdr. James E. Shepard.
Are these two men benefactors or
an impediment to the races adj
vancement? The Nation says.
that they are doing what their ira
ducers cannot do. In their doc
trine lies the future greatness of
the South, so far as the colored
citizen is concerned. The jealous
man or woman will impede the
advancement of the successful, if
he or she can. Nobility of char
acter lies in the hearts of those
who are benefactOrs of the Op-
pressed.
Du Bois tears down; Washing
ton builds up and advances his
fellow-man. Which will you
choose? Decide to-day.

The Growth Of Insanity

Statistics serve to show a steady
increase in the number Of the insane
The most reliable statistics known to
us, those taken in Massachusetts,
show that in that state the number
OF insane in the asylums is increasing
from $50 to 900 a year. which is a
much larger proportionate increase
than that Of the sane population. Re
ports from other states show similar
results. Some Of the more generally
accepted causes of the increase of in
sanity are given as follows: The over
tension Of modern life, brought on
by the keen struggle for life; the con-
gestion and excitement of city life,
and the fact that insanity is becoming
more and more an incurable disease.

A writer in the Bystarder thinks
that compilers Of aviation diction-

Tor aeronauts and spectators. II can
not help thinking a few must have

things can contribute more to enrich
the language than impotence, a day In

trodden under-foot by a raging crowd,

County Papers for sisis Schools.

Early last Fall we received a request
from Miss Alice B. Digger. librarian in
the State Female Normal School, Farm
VILE, Va, to send the Republican to the
library of that institution, which we
did.
Beng interested to know just how
Miss Dugger's plan of newspaper read
ing IN the school was progressing. we
wrote asking her to advise us of the re-
suits of the experiment. Her answer
follows, and contains a valuable supges-
ton to all who are in doubt as to a suit
able gift for the holiday season. What
could be more appropriate to the absent
members of your household than a years
subscription to their home paper? But
we will let Miss Digger tell you how
anxious your daughters were to hear
from home. Her letter is as follows:
Fsrmville, Va, Dec. ID, 1910.
To The Tszewell Republican.
Tazewell, Virginia.
Dear Sirs:-Since you have been kind
enough to send us your paper for this
wear and interested enough to know
how my plan for newspaper reading
works, L am writing you today hint of
the result of our scheme.
Realizing for some time the lack of
the newspaper habit among women of
the State, thought this year to make
every effort to give the girls of S. N. S
chance to form, th;s h. Ne .-L:l. I'm
at an impressionable age.
1t is useless to suppose the average
girl will read a Richmond or Norfolk
paper if she comes from a totally differ
ent part Of the State unless she has
formed the habit at home.
We are financially unable to subscribe
to more than three papers, so the
thought came to me that this amount
spent IN postage might possibly give us
better results than if spent in the old
way, and that the papers themselves
might find it advantageous to help US by
contributing each a subscription as an
experiment To get the names of these
papers had box put in prominent
place with a notice saying: Every
student will please write the name and
address of her home paper on a slip and
put 1t in this box" To make sure that
no one overlooked this notice was also
given in chapel. The result was that
each day for week the box was full of
names. These were assorted and the
papers written to. Fifty-eight respond
ed, but before we could possibly mail
the letters girls were coming in to see
II their home paper had sent a COPY. |
They have continued to come, and most
OF the papers are we'll worn out before
the next issue arrives. The reading
room is filled to its utmost capacity and |
at each mail there are some waiting for
the papers before they can be stamped
and recorded. Then when the ne wspa-
pers are read magazines and books fol- |
low.
L wish to heartily thank the papers
that have co-operated with me in this.
and hope they will be equally farsigbted
another year.
Most cordially,

The Passing of a Friend.

Surely the world is poorer since this
friend of ours has left US. Walking in
the solitude of a native woodland we
have often exclaimed, "How like men
are the trees of the forestI' But never
30 much as when death comes, does man
and tree resemble each other.
AS tree, mighty, beautiful and use
tul, must eventually perish, SO must all
of US be taken in the end. Such has
been the case in Horsepen Cove-the
storm of affection came to the home of
W. W. Myers-the Death Angel entered
and claimed Mrs. Mollie NJ. Myers.
She was the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
E. E. Presley, and was 81 years and 10
months old. At the age of 16 she gave
her heart to God. In the year 1900 she
was married to W. W. Myers and there
was born to that happy union three
daughters Mrs Myers was taken sick
on November 2Sth and passed to her
reward on November 3Oth, 1910. She
was Disciple of Christ and had manv
friends She leaves q husband. three
daughters, father, mother, brothers and
sisters to mourn their loss. But while
1t is their loss it is her eternal gain.
On December 2nd her remains were
brought to the church at Horsepen and
her funeral was preached by the writer.
There were many relatives and friends
present 70 say farewell for just short
time for we will soon see her again.
May God bless the bereaved family
and bless the cause of Christ which she
loved &c well. Sitter Myers in her diving
hour ssid she was going home. Dear
sister we will soon see you again.

A writer in Chicago paper pays the
following interesting tribute to the

spiritual accuracy of vision that comes
from simple and clean cut faith.

Why Thunder Is So Loud.

Experiments mad In the Jefferson
Physical Laboratory by Professor
Trowbridge of Harvard university
show that the astounding noise of a
lightning discharge is largely due to
the dissertation of water Vapor.
through the explosion OF the hydrogen
and oxygen gases produced by such
dissertation. In his mimic lightning
experiments the authority referred to
has produced a torrent OF huge cleo.
trio sparks. The noise of the dis
charge was so great that the operator
had to stop his ears with cotton and
then wrap a heavy cloth around them.
