THE GROWING DOPE HABIT.

A new sort of charity is being or sanized under the title of social serv- ice charity. which, witnessing effects, proceeds to detect causes If a mem Der in this service should on a cold wet morning meet small child going towards school, who is not properly clad against the weather, with nearly worn out shoes and no rubbers, he or she will not only buy the child a pair of new rubbers but will immediately and effectively find out the reason why Rle is rubberless.
 They are not all children of drunk ards, for drink is not the only i'm poverishing vice in these days. The growing dope habit is responsible for more neglected children than the aver age citizen is aware. Drunkard heads of families sooner or later find their way into court and thus become items of statistical information. Not SO with chloral, morphine and bromide fed mothers. The drug stores know who they are. but neither civic nor religious bodies in annual conventions adopt resolutions against the dope evil
 Fhis new charity proposes to trace the distress and want to it's cause and to then proceed to remedy the evil. To deal solely with effects is to encour- age the vices which produce them.

Bristol is the 19th city in Connecti- cut in point of establishment, but in it's history and industries it is not at the foot of the list
 In speaking of the excellent history of the borough. the editor of the Bris- tol Press says:
 Our people can contemplate that t record with pride. No hint of graft or scandal or misrepresentation of funds mars the page in any degree. lt Is a clean and progressive record. of superior service and important work accomplished If the next eighteen rsars under the city plan are as sat isfsctory and as full of achievement and ve believe they are to be such Bristol will indeed be the model city that we all hope for and work for. p
 The Press says further: Central nation is the trend of the times and we now have. it in the city of Bristol Even the time -honored privilege of fixing the tax rate is taken away from the people and the power given to the council All this may make for bet torment but il certainly jars tradi- ton and custom. and demands read Justment of ones ideas.

PRAISE FOR TAFT A GREAT MEETING
Appointment of MIR. Lewis
Meets with Approval
Especial TO The Ree.O

WILBERFORCE, O., June I8.-
DR.. Booker T. Washington, who de-
livered the principal address here dur
ing commencement week and the
Bishop Payne centennial celebration,
took occasion to warmly praise Presi-
dent Taft for his appointment OF w.
II. Lewis as Assistant Attorney Gen
eral The great audience was i2'-ly
electrified when he gave utterance to
the following:
Who, in this audience, would have
thought that within less than so years
after our race became free that the
time would come when we would have
a President Of the United States who
was strong and brave. and wise
enough to appoint a colored man to
the position of Assistant Attorney
General of the United States; who
would have thought that within so
short a period of time we would have
produced a coloTed man who in edu-
cation and refinement and culture was
capable of filling such a position, and
yet we have found within less than
so years in President William How
ard Taft President who was capable
lOf making the appointment and in
the person of William Henry Lewis
we have found the colored man capa-
bic of filling the position. When
such occurrences take place within so
short a period who will dare be so
shortsighted and faithless as to grow
discouraged? Truly we are living in
an era when old men shall dream
dreams and young men shall see Wis
ions"

DOES HIM INJUSTICE.
Blames it on the Sage.
o the Editor of The Bee:

To the Editor of The Bee:
In your article Public Men and
Things" (Bee, June 10, I9II), | feel
that you do me an injustice in ques-
ti0ning my motive as presiding officer
during the recent election for the
presidency of the Alumni Association
of Howard University. | want TO say
here and now that | voted for Prof
Miller both times because | felt that
he had a wider acquaintance among
the graduates OF the institution than
any other man IN the association, for
which reason he would be of greater
service IN raising funds for the work
lin hand than any other individual
who might be mentioned.
In recalling the incident of the cleo
ton | can think of nothing which ]
did that could be considered unfair
gave the association a chance to
nominate whomsover it pleased. ]
permitted a fair discussion OF the
merits of the candidates, and | saw
that the tellers appointed were salts
factory TO both sides The first vote
was a tie. 1t was suggested that
cast the deciding vote, but as | had
dlI IEdugH NDlGu- / ulu HOT lHlllN IL Ian
that | should vote again, and ] called
for another election. At the second
election several new names were
brought forward as eligible voters. !
ruled that they could not vote until
after the presidency was decided; this
I did in an endeavor to be absolutely
fair to both candidates feel that
| gave the association chance TO eN-
press itself; that the announced re-
suit is the exact expression OF the
wishes OF the majority of the mem
bers voting, however much II might
be opposed to my personal desires
To my mind it is far better for the
association that an inexperienced and
untried man be placed at the head OF
its affairs by fair methods than that
the best man available be placed
there by questionable means, for II
there IS one organization in which the
world has a right to expect upright
ness and fair dealing, it certainly IS
the alumni association of great
university. Sincerely yours.

their labor was worth, and oftentimes
must have worked, in season and out,
for the unScrupulOus and selfish. for
bare sustenanCe But this condition
did not last long. Underlying the
Negro character, even in its then un-
developed state, were certain great
saving qualities First, they were
loyal. Second, they were courageous,
and this they had demonstrated in
every war this country ever knew
The Negro soldier has demonstrated
his bravery in the War of the Revo-
luton. the War of 1872. the War Of
Mexico, the War of the Rebellion,
and with Spain. During the Rebel
lion, he served in every branch of
the service with distinction, earning
the everlasting gratitude of President
Lincoln, General Grant, and other ia
nous leaders We have not forgotten
his heroic conduct at such great bat
ties as Fort Wagner, Milliken's Bend,
Petersburg and numerous others.
His record in the Spanish-AmeTiCan
War at San Juan Hill is a splendid
monument to the herOism and bravery
of the Negro soldier. But his chief
asset, the one great secret of his
rapid adjustment to conditions, was
his wonderful adaptability This has
been the real secret of your remarka-
BILE progress. In the short period Of
less than fifty years. you have evolv-
ed from a ward of the people, and
have become one of the great factors
in our scheme of government.
The Negro is strong in gratitude
He was indeed grateful for his free
dom and has proven this by his splen-
did efforts to earn and be worthy OF
a place among the citizens of this
republic.
You have realized as a race that
education is the great solution, the
basic essential, of good citizenship.
Education and Christianity go hand
in hand. To carry to the less for
tunate, the light of wisdom, more
than 10000 of your people, men
and women have earnestly striven
through secondary schools and col
leges. to obtain a certificate which
would entitle them to do their share
