LaWIessness.

For a month and better Nashville
has been infested by gang OF thieves
and robbers. They have operated
with the boldness of lions. Women
and men have been relieved of their
money and valuables at any hour OF
the day and in the most frequented
portions of the city. And the worst
Of the whole affair is our police and
detective forces have not been able to
detect them.
Think of a robber snatching a
lady's purse on one Of our uptown
thoroughfares in midday and making
good his escape. 1t seems impossible,
but it has been done within the last
sixty days. On one occasion a lady
purse was snatched in the transfer
station and the malefactors were not
detected. Men have been robbed in
all parts Of the city, not only of their
money, but they have had their clothes
taken from their backs. Not satisfied
with that the perpetrators have In
many instances shot, cut and beat
their victims into insensibility.
We are experiencing terrible
reign of lawlessness, and it is time
steps were taken to rid the city of
the guilty parties. The citizens can
aid the guardians Of the law in this
matter. Every citizen should become
interested in the conditions that con-
front us. We should concern ourselves
about those fellows who do not WORK.
They ought to be pointed out to the
authorities, and it should be seen to
that these idlers are looked after.
The people cannot afford to ignore
this matter any longer. The safety
of our homes demand that action be
taken now.

IT'S COMING SOON.

The ferment of Negro segregation
from the Methodist Episcopal into a
new denomination has begun to work,
this time with greater significance
than ever before, because we are now
given definite plan by DR.. ]. w.
Jennings in the Central Christian Ad.
vocate, which plan has drawn the inn
portant fire of DR.. I. B. Scott, the
only Negro bishop in that church.
Most important of all is that Bishop
Scott does not protest against the Sc
paration at all, he objects only to
details of the proposed plan, accept
under the circumstances, desirable.
There will be some protests, of course,
but it is separation will come
it is nearly here. No man can say
that the separation of Gods Church
into denominations On race lines and
for prejudice's sake is godly or Chris
tian; but Christianity of the twenti-
eth century, side-stepping, lodging,
specious sophistical and logged kind
will have its way 1t is content to
deal with God in the matter at "some
more convenient time" so let it go at
that.
DR.. Jennings hopes to bring togeth-
err all whites into one Methodism and
all blacks into another; a closer clas-
siflcation, we suppose, would put all
yellows in another and all browns in
still another But NOBODY really pro-
poses that. After all Gods white
sheep are herded on one side of the
Psallnists green pastures" and all
the black ones on the other DR.. Jen-
nings seems to think that they can
be led beside the still waters along
opposite banks of the creek under the
! guidance of the Good Shepherd and
that goodness and mercy will fellow
them ever after. May be SO; that is
the way things have been run in
America for some time. If there is
no hereafter, or if God is really a
Oily white" it will be all right Ger
tainly, Bishop Scott is on a safer side
of the division proposition than is
DR.. Jennings, because the bishop is
trying to commit a compulsory sin in
the easiest, most graceful and racial
| ly, yet most profitable way, while the
doctor voices the conscience and vol
untary act of Caucasian Christianity
ore must because the other will.
The old phrase, "qui bono?" comes
in here. What will be accomplished
by the segregation? Negroes can
have their own bishops! But they
could have that without segregation
if the church chose to give It, The
Negroes desire it, some say. Then
why has it always been a white man
who discovered the desire?
But why choose subterfuge? 1t is
to be so because the stronger viii

COMMUNICATION
HAMILTON coNGRATULATEs
DAVIDSON.

Chattanooga, Tenn, Jan. 16, IL.
To the Editor of the Nashville Globe.
Nashville, Tenn:
Dear Sir:
Will you give space in your SPLEEN
did paper for few statements from
1.-The city located by the side of Look
ont Mountain?" If so, permit me to
say:
That Davidson County deserves I'M
stinted congratulations on her spleu-
did success in the fight for the Normal
and Mechanical school for Negroes.
We, the oolored citizens of Hamilton,
understood from the very beginning
CT the fight that we were going up
against men who believe in pushing
the battle to the very gates and win
ming the laurels OF every contest. We
recognized that we were going I'D
against brain, logged determination
and tireless activity! We gracefully
and magnanimously tip our hats to
The Citizens Organization that
brought the results of perfect mech
anism. We say: Long live your no
BILE chairman, Mr.. Ben Carr, whose
answering faith and tileless efforts
brought you to victory!
Further although disappointed, we
are not disheartened. Our showing
has made splendid impression upon
our white neighbors The impression
made counts not only In favor of the
Negroes of Hamilton county, but in
favor Of the Negro race. We are all
standing in better light since our
fight. There is feature that redeems
the darkest of occasions from abso-
lutte blackness. This is true in our
case. We did not get the Normal,
but we got the presidency of the Nor.
NAL. We feel highly honored in be-
ing called upon to furnish the first
president of the first state school for
Negroes in Tennessee. We are highly
pleased with the man whom the State
Board of Education has elected to that
position, and feel that the citizens Of
Davidson County will soon discover
his sterling worth and learn to love
him as we of Hamilton County know
and love him. He is a valuable citi-
zen, man of positive and strong con
victions, a man that mas exhibited
special executive and administrative
ability, man that is plain and genial
and affable. Whilo he is in the front
ranks of educators, the humblest can
secure from him the most respectful
consideration This transaction brings
Davidson and Hamilton face to face
and heart to heart.
Yours for race progress and develop
ment,
CHARLES AUGUSTUS BELL,
Pastor Of the First Baptist Church.

lowing to say anent the public school
of Washington, D. c., of which MI
Roscoe G. Bruce is assistant superin
tendent:
Rather than have Roscoe G.
Bruce any longer the Assistant
Superintendent of the colored
schools-and it seems that it is
the desire of Superintendent Stu
art to reappoint him, against the
wishes of the people-a petition
is being circulated which will be
presented to Congress, asking
that the Office be abolished. If
there ever was a man so much
disliked by the teachers and the
people of this city it is Roscoe
G. Bruce. Tie colored schools
are on the downward grade. They
are not what they used to be.
If there is not an Immediate
change in the schools, Mr.. Stu
art will be held responsible for
the bad condition Of the colored
schools. Any child can see that
the colored schools are in fear
full condition. How can a man
succeed in such a position with
almost every teacher against him?
If Bruce had been a success at
Tuskegee DR.. Washington would
have never allowed him to leave.
Deliver The Bee from these So
called Harvard, Yale and Amherst
graduates. Show the Bee one
that has been and is a success.
The colored schools are being
filled with these ''hoboes.'
There may be cases sometimes
where it is necessary to abolish al
Office, but since there are so few
places open for the many Negroes
who are able to ill any position alonl
lines, we should be tht
last to ever concede to the abolish
nent of a single one. It would b.
better to remove the cause. If Mr.
Stuart is at fault remove him; If Mr.
Bruce is at fault use the same method
n his case. No good can be derived
rom such a muddle Of AFFAIRS as oul
contemporary says exists in the CAPT
al city's schools, but it is surprising
hat the Bee is willing to rob the
race of such position and deprive
the children of the benefits to bt
derived therefrom because one mar
proves unsatisfactory. And again, i:
It possible that all the graduates o.
Harvard, Yale and Amherst are fail
lres because Mr.. Bruce does no
measure up to The Bees expec
.ations as assistant superintendent
Of the Negro schools of Washing
ION City? Well, no; there are any
of graduates from these in
situations who are making themselves
felt in the world while The Bee il

Of which it should be the stronges
advocate. Above all things, let the OF

"THE NIGER. .

The play The Niger has come
and gone, and it is we'll that it has.
While there are many good points in
the play showing the unfairness that
often takes place in the South be-
tween the white and colored people,
it is yet to be known whether these
points are sufficient to overbalance
the sensational vulgarisms that are
likely to be caught up in a cosmo-
politan audience.
1t shows clearly that men who
commit crime in a debauched and
drunken state are not so much to
blame as those who sell the liquor.
In this case the saloon seems to be
the seat of the crime. If there were
no saloons or distilleries, there would
lie no DRINKS, and consequently fewer
crimes.
1t may be that "The Niger" has
moral thread sufficiently strong to
react in harmony, sympathy and
peace for two races living side by
side, yet We doubt that its sensation
al and commercial purport will allow
it to reach that acme for which SIM
liar plays have been designed
