CHOSEN SENATOR FROM MAINE.

No climate in the country has been
regarded as less encouraging to the
growth of Democratic timber than
that Of the Pine Tree state, but since
the thaw of last September the mete-
geological conditions have been al
tered.
1t was admitted by some political
Jeremiahs that a Democratic COVER
nor might slip through the breach IN
the Republican lines and intrench
himself at Augusta, but the most en-
thusiastic visionary hardly dreamed
of a Democratic legislature or Dem
ocratic senator Not since 1856, when
Hannibal Hamlin crossed the Kenne-
bee, had a Democratic senator been
sent 10 the national capital from
Maine, and not foS thirty years had
any New England state elected Dem
ocratic senator.
So, as Democratic senator from
Maine, Charles F. Johnson will natu-

In my opinion the importance Of the
sanitary conditions under which cattle are
kept is not sufficiently taken into consider
alton.
We know that it is recommended that
cattle should be treated with serum against
tuberculosis. But there is very little done
to keep cattle in sanitary stables in order
to prevent tuberculosis.
We hear almost every day the preach
ing Of pure air for people in order to pre-
vent sickness, particularly tuberculosis. But
when do we hear anybody advocating plenty
Of pure air for the cattle?

HANDLES BIG EDITORIAL JOB

Hugh Chisholm gave dinner re.
Gently to the American contributors
to the Encyclopedia Britannica.
There are 1900 contributors to this
stupendous work in England and
America. They have written 10000 ar
ticles, comprising 100000 words.
Editing all this is an enormous under
taking and even the proof reading Is
a stupendous job
The issuing of the encyclopedia is
the greatest undertaking in modern
literature Even the binding of it may
create a panic in the market for fine
leather. The binding of 1000 copies
requires $4,000 skins. What makes
the task of producing the work more
serious is the fact that it is brought
out in % volumes simultaneously,
whereas the last previous edition was
published one volume at a time and
took IA years to complete.

NEGRO OFFICES BARRED?

The Bee deserves to call the at
tention of the District Commission
ers to the discrimination against
the appointment of colored men in
the Police Department.
Who is to blame?
Has Major JudsOn, the Engineer
Commissioner called to the atten-
ton of the President to this pOlit-
.ical breach of our local govern
ment?
VIII Major Judson kindly ex-
plain the methods used in reject
ing colored men from the police
department?
Why is the rule of ex-Commis-
siOner West, relative to the ap-
pointlnent of colored men on the
police force abrogated? Mr.. West
saw the importance of this rule.
He knew what trouble a ColOred
applicant had to be appointed on
the police force, hence he issued
an order to the effect that when
"a colored officer resigned or was
removed from the police force his
place should be filled by another
colored officer if any qualified.
Again, Mr.. West didn't stop
here. If a colored man was COM
.petent and had passed the eXamina-
ton, and a vacancy existed, he was
appointed anyway. Mr.. West didn't
leave the appointment of colored
men to the chief of police, because
if he had none would have been ap-
pointed. The cOlored citizens are
not receiving a square deal in our
local government, and they will not
until there are a few changes in
| the Commissioners. Just think OF
| it. no colored men have been ap-
pointed on the police force since the
retirement of Commissioner West
and not a colored clerk by the pres
ent board of Commissioners, and
only four in the entire local gov
ernment.
Let the Commissioners resign.
| Mr.. President, let us have
clean sweep in our local govern
lment. because the colored voters
are lOyal to you.

Pa, reflects the sentiment of the
South, 1t is only necessary to sus-
picion that a Negro has committed
an offense. The mob doesn't wait
for a jury to decide his fate. Ii
is quite likely that the recent as
sault committed upon the two aged
couples in Virginia will be laid at
the door of some Negro, whether
he is innocent or guilty. There is
no evidence that a Negro commit
ted the crime. But what does a
mob care when it wants the blood
of a victim? It is only necessary
to suspect some colored man.
The Bee doesn't attempt to de-
fend the guilty that commit crime,
but it does advocate fair play until
the guilty party has been caught,
tried and convicted by a Jury. The

that pictures life in the Ozark cOun-
try in every detail 1t has a strong
moral, which always leaves d good
impression, and bears the proud dis
tinction of having the Endorsement OF
all the leading critics of things theat-
rical. as well as of the pulpit, through
out the entire country.
The comedy is clean, refined and
exceedingly funny, being the kind of
fun that you are not ashamed to have

Mr.. Raymond has equipped the play
with the best of accessories, and has
spared no expense in making its pro-
duCtion one worthy of the patronage
accorded it.
The character of 'Zeke Dobson" is
most unique conception. Among
the many impersOnations of the rural
type offered to the shOw-going pub
lie there are but a few limited cases
where the author ever attempted to
portray this interesting character as
he is seen in real life. The stage char
aCter of the farmer is so thoroughly
impressed on our minds that it is al
most impossible for us to imagine a
rural play without the usual impOssi-
bic characters that are in many cases
the serious drawback to an otherwise
good play "Zeke' Is true pOr-
trayaI of an honest, bright, intelli-
gent country boy. He says and does

ET TU BRUTE?

Well! If any one had said two
weeks ago that there would be a
lvnching of a Negro in the State
of Pennsylvania, the cradle Of lib
ertv. what would the amazement
have been? Pennsylvania, the
cradle of liberty, permitted her
proud name to be disgraced by a
mob. The Bee doesn't deny that
the colored man committed an I'M
iustihable offense, but why couldn't
the law have taken its course? II
the hands of the assassins are rais-
ed against a citizen in PeEnsylva-
MIA in what part of this great coun-
try is any man safe, innocent OF
guilty? Why are laws enacted
They are to protect the innocent
against the guilty. Would such
crimes be permitted in Great Brit
ain? The iron hand of justice
would soon put a stop to such of
fenses. It is quite evident that the

FOR TAFT.

The Editor of The Bee is for the
denomination and election of Pres
ident Taft, and he wants it to be
known that he is Taft candidate
for delegate from this city to the
next Republican convention.
There is no reason that a strong
Taft delegation should not be cleo
ted by the District Republicans and
place a strong representative Re
publican on the National Commit
tee. What the Republicans of
this city want is a man on the Ma
tional Committee on the order OF
Col. NJ. NJ. Parker, who was an
honor to the Republican party of
this city. There are several strong
men from whom a selection may
be made, to wit: Mr.. Chaplin
Brown, DR.. A. S. Richardson, eX-
Commissioner Macfarland, Mr..
John Joy Edison; with a man on
the order Of one of the foregoing
as National Committeeman for the
District Of Columbia. Ever since
the retirement of Col. NJ. NJ. Par
ker, the President has done all that
can be done for the country. The
people have confidence in him and
the country is safe while he contin-
ues to be President. The COlOred
voters have no hope under Demo
cratic rule. Of course there are d
few exceptions, but these exceP-
tions are overruled by the rank and
file of the Democratic party. The
advancement of the ColOred Amer
leans would be retarded under
Democratic rule. What have they
gained in States where the Dem
ocrats are in control? The defeat
of Mr.. Taft would be a calamity
to the country. 1t is the duty OF
