there was opposition or objections
to the appointment of cOlored

The Stereopticon Talks

On Wednesday, Dec. Ii, Misses I'm
ogene and Josephine Wormley and
Beatrice ]. Ridgley entertained the
II ladies, whose guests they had been
at a delightful surprise at Lincoln
Md, prior to their sailing for Europe
The opening feature consisted in
the making of Dutch bonnets, which
had been cut and planned before
hand. These were worn by the ladies
the entire evening.
The stereOptiCOn talks were opened
by Miss J. E. Wormley, who gave an
interesting account OF the ocean yOy-
age, its pleasures and its pains Then,
with the aid of clear, bright pictures,
she transported her audience to the
land of windmills and wooden shoes
and explained many of the customs
and characteristics OF those simple
Dutch folk
Miss Imogene Wormley talked
pleasingly on London, 50 rich in his
tory, and to-day ranking as the great
est city in the world. Magnificent
Parliament, West Minister Abbey and
London Tower were so graphically de
scribed that one almost imagined her
self on the spot taking IN the details
of their wonder and grandeur. Miss
Wormley also talked on the Rhine, its
beauty, Its castles, vineyards, etc.
Paris, the most beautiful. most artis-
tic city IN the world, was we'll done
by Miss Ridgley. Its boulevards,
parks, monuments, theateTs charmed
all and inspired the most superior ad-
Miss Ridgley also tried to
give the guests a glimpse of what IS
waiting them on their visit to Swift
zeTland by description OF LuCeTne,
so picturesque and beautifully situat-
ed. its neighboring Alps and magniii-
cent lake
In Miss Ridgleys reference to the
Opera House in Paris, she told OF
their attending several operas there
At the mention of Samson and De
liah, Miss ]. Wormley sang exquisite
ly one of the beautiful solos from the
opera.
Just before supper was served a

ing incidents OF the trip were related
during the meal.
A jolly game OF quoits, in which
Miss John won the prize of an import

The affair was voted one of the
most novel ever pulled off, and the
party, IS in all, dispersed thoroughly
saturated with pleasure.

it no longer.
Mr.. Wickersham being a died

Justice have been filled by Dem

is doing that he cannot see that all
of his best offices under this de-
partment are given to Democrats,

some time ago that he was Dem
ocrat. no matter what the admin

WILL NOT BE ALLOWED.

The Bee has been informed
that the syndicate that erected
those ten and twelve thousand
dollar sporting houses will not be
permitted to open them. Major
Sylvester. The Bee understands,
has instructed Captain Williams,
in No. Four Precinct, to raid any
house that is opened in the vicin-
itv of the colored school. The
Bee always knew that Major Syl-
vester had enough manhood to or
der those sporting houses closed.
The coIored children and teach
ers will not have their morals
by the sporting denizens
in the neighborhood of their
schools. These magnificent man
sions that were erected for the
sports may in all probability be
occupied by respectable poor
whites or poor colored people.
Sometimes good comes out of evil.
The Bee was the first to raise Its
voice against these houses being
erected near the cOlOred schools.
Both white and cOlOred citizens
in and near the vicinity of these
houses asked The Bee TO enter a
protest against these houses. If
IA change should take place and
these houses are rented for I'M
moral purposes, it Is quite evident
that the chief of police viii not
only order the raiding of the
houses. but he will cause a war
rant to be issued against their
owners and prosecute them for
renting houses for immoral pur-
poses. There are sections of the
city set apart for such houses. and
as long as they are properly con
Quoted they are immune from be-
ing raided. But when houses Of
this character are erected near
school houses they should be
closed and the owners prosecu-
ted.

WHY PERSUE THE
TEACHER

In no other city but this are
the teachers in the public schools
50 harassed. persued and imposed
upon as they are here. The latest
fad rule is to see how easily a
teacher can be dismissed without
trouble. That is, the superin-
tendent. if he is correctly report
ed. wants a rule to drop a teacher
Immediately if he or she Is mark
ed inefficient. Just suppose such
a rule existed in the colored
schools. Just see how a preju-
diced supervisor could mark a
teacher down. Would not such a
rule come in contact with the re
cent rules promulgated by the
Board Of Education! What be-
comes Of the authority vested in
the president of the Board of Ed
ucationl What becomes of the
right to a trial with counsel and
a copy of the charges! 1t would
seem to The Bee that the best
policy for the school authorities
to adopt is to encourage good
teachers and assist those who may
become Indifferent. Certainly the
teachers should be given 8 rest.

ing we'll their part IN the great
drama of life. The editor of The
Bee, therefore, takes this opportu-
nifty to say few words to the
readers of this paper about a
young man, Lawyer Almond W.
Scott, who came to this city about
eleven years ago, at that time pen
niless and an absolute stranger;
but who, since then, by force of
intellect, energy, and industry,
has forged his way to the front,
and is now regarded as one of
the leading lights of the Wash
ington bar, and one of the sub
stantial citizens of this commu-
nifty. He is respected by both
judges and lawyers, because of
his manhood and his ability to in
telligently and ably protect his
clients at all times. Unlike some
of our sO-called great lawyers, he
has never truckled nor cringed,
and has never tried to curry favor
by making a monkey of himself in
order to be regarded by the white
folks as a good 'nigger." He al
ways conducts himself as a dig
nifed gentleman. and tries his
cases in a manly, intelligent, and
straightforward way, and by rea-
son of such, he has not only
gained the respect Of the bench
and bar. but he has built up a
large and lucrative practice. His
most notable recent victory was
the case of William Cosby, which
was tried in Criminal Court No.

ed in the law. but he is a brilliant
and magnetic orator: and The

and hopes that he yet has
many more years before him, in
order that he might continue hisI

COTTRILL'S APPOINT
MENI,


ssa.sszzg,
The Washington Post, in its
mention of the appointment Of
Charles 4. COttriII, of Ohio, to
be Collector Of Customs at Hon
olulu, said: A dispatch from
Honolulu says the people there
are greatly wrought up over the
appointment Of a Negro"
1t Is barely possible this dis
patch from Honolulu" was mere
Iy an hallucination Of the local
reporter on The Post who wrote
the notice. But granting, for
the sake of argument, that the
alleged dispatch was genuine, we
would like to ask on what grounds
can the residents of Hawaii OBJ
ject to the appointment of Ne
gro to a position in their midst? ?
The population 'of Hawaii is
made up of HawaiianS, part Ha-
waiians, japanese, Chinese, Cau-
casians, South Sea Islanders and
Negroes. 81.4 per cent Of the pop
ulatiOn are dark-skinned people,
as dark or darker than Mr.. Cot
trill, who, by the way, is a mu-
lattO. Only 18.G per cent of the
population are whites, and but
DO per cent are natives of the
island, 75.5 per cent of the pOpu-
latiOn being foreigners, the Japa-
nese and Chinese forming more
than one-half of the total pOpula-
ton of the island. OF the eau
casians but 9.S per cent are ma
tives Of the United States. Ac-
cording to a recent decision Of
the supreme Court Of the Dis
trict of Columbia. in the Wall
case. which declared that any one
with one-siXteenth of colored
blood was a Negro, the Sill per
cent dark-sElnned inhabitants of
Hawaii would be. themselves,
cIassed as Negroes in Washing
ton, perhaps.
Mr.. CottriII Is a lighter com
pleXioned man than the Hawaiian
territorial delegate here to Con-
gress. Now we ask again, how
can a people, S1.4 per cent of
whom are dark-skinned, consist
antly object to Mr.. C0ttrill, mere
" on the grounds of color! We
repeat that the S1.4 per cent dark
skinned inhabitants of that island.
the illiteracy among whom is far
greater than the illiteracy among
the Negroes of our Southern
States. are as dark or darker than
Mr.. Cottrill. And Mr. Cottrill is
an educated American Negro of
proven ability. the equal, if not
the superior, in mental equip
ment, of the ablest of that S1.4
per cent Of dark-skinned popula-
ton of Hawaii.
President Taft was satisfied
that Mr.. Cottrill would make
good over there, and he Is not
now and never was in sympathy
with manufactured race preju-
dice, and this appointment to
high office of another well equip
ped American Negro is the proof.
And the race thanks and honors
President Taft for this proof of
his desire that we have an equi-
table share of the patronage. and
of his thus evidenced interest in
our advancement.
When the Hawaiians see and
know Mr.. COttrill they too will
honor him as he is hOnOred by
whites and blacks alike in his own
State and city.
