bettered until now many of the
country schools carry courses
admitting To high schools and
colleges. Farm life for children
means better mon and women.
and the children of today are the
citizens of tomorrow. Men and
women of sturdy constitution
and clear mind means u stable
government.
The farm protects the woman
from poverty. In the event of
the husbands death it is the best
kind of insurance. II can be-
counted upon To produces living.
In an irrigated country whore
drouths n unknown il a al.
ways be counted upOn to produce
more than this, for here the
farmer is practically master Of
his own destiny. The farm is a
safe investment. II is sure To
increase in valuation as the pop
u~lation of the country increases
and the demand for farm land is
greater. Other investments pay
from , to 10 per cent. The farm
frequently pays from 20 TO 80
per cent, and sometimes even
more. The farm is the home of
the young children, and their
refuge aS they grow older. What
person of mature years cannot
look back and say, How dear 60

they may spend their latter days

one whose Journalistic qualities are
recognized, we would select Ralph
w. Tyler, the present auditor OF.
the Navy. Mr.. Tyler is recognized
among men as one OF the greatest
journalists in this country. 1t was
his pen that won him political rec.
ognition with the press edited by
the greatest white men IN this
country. Mr.. Tyler is fearless
journalist. and as an officer Of the
government he Is one among the
few who acts with dignity and de-
cision. His name in the State Of
Ohio is as familiar as the acts Of
eX-President Roosevelt in the jun
giles of Africa. Mr. Tyler pos
sesses many excellent qualities.
There is nothing mean in his make
up. He never forgetS. but is soon
| to forgive. He has faith in MS
friends. and one among the great
men to help them in need. He be
lieves in uplifting his race. His
career is inspiring because his rec
ord contains acts of emulation and
admonition. He loves his home,
and believes in teaching his chill
dren how to work and honor labor.
| He is not one to knock his fellow
man. He defends his friends
against the assaults Of their enc
mics. He is unselhsh and liberal
in the bestowal of praises upon
those who deserve them. He is to-
dav one of the most honorable men
under the present administration.
He is unlike many of his associates
in public life, because his heart is
elastic, Selfshness, bigOtry and
deception are no part of his charac-
teristics. If he can elevate man
kind he never hesitates in doing so.
He is appreciative and above every
thing else he has no selfish ambi-
tiOns.
The young man should learn
from the career of Mr.. Tyler that
honesty and integrity are but few
of the precepts that he follows.
Without honesty no man can sue
ceed. Without integrity, YOU
might as we'll follow in the paths
of criminals. His life IS one. of
unselfsh ambition, and TO serve his.
fellow man. This, indeed, is an.
inspiring career of Ralph w, Tyler,
auditor of the Navy, which al
young colored man should aim toI
follow.

THE INDEPENDENT CON
FERENCE.

The independent conference OF
the National Political League and
the colored Democracy that COnven-
ed at True Reformers' Hall, was
representative in its character.
| While The Bee differs in politics
with the gentlemen who called this
conference, it must admit that the
men who were delegates to it are
we'll known throughout this coun-
try. What they hope to gain The
Bee is at a loss to know, They
seem to be in earnest. however,
and determined to give the Repub-
lican party trouble. What are the
coIored Republicans doing to offset
what the colored independents are
doing throughout the country?
These conferences are bound to
create sentiment and division among
the colored voters. We might as
we'll look this question squarely in
the face and ask ourselves what
we are going to do about it. 1t IS
useless and child'S play to sit down.
and make fun of these meetings.
We must do something. There is.
a feeling of unrest among the col
ored voters in the country, and
something must be done to allayI
that feeling. The Negroes areI
kicking and have gone crazy
mad as DR.. CorrotherS puts IT,
We must stem the tide of opposj-
ton.
The speeches were conservative
and strong. They found fault
with their seeming oppressOrs. but
said nothing against them who once
them. DR.. COrrOthers, as
usual, delivered one of his strong
nveCtiyes. He wants freedom for.
the Negro, no matter when and
from whom he gets it. 1t was a
fine body of representative colOred
men. Just what they hope to gain
The Bee is at a loss to know.
What can the Democratic party
offer? Have the representatives of.
the conference been assured that
the colored Americans will be pro
tected in their civil and political
rights. should the Democratic party
succeed? The conference showed
one thing: that colored men are
thinking for themselves. no matter
how wrong their thoughts may be.
1t seems that DR.. Sylvester L. Cor
rotherS is behind this revolt.

JIM CROWISM.

Mr.. Smith, Of Florida. who calls
himself a representative of the peo-
pie IN that State, has given notice
to the country and Negro Democ-
raCy that he intends to call up his
bill establishing separate, otherwise
Jim Crow cars in this city. This
declaration must be very soothing
to the alleged Negro Democrats or
colOred men having Democratic
proclIyIties. The meeting of Ne
gro Democrats, independents and
otherwise, that met at True Re
formers hall last evening to con-
slider plans to increase their organi-
zatiOn, must have their eyes on the
filthy lucre, not on the rights of
citizenship, which was given to
them by the Republican party.
This distinguished Democratic rep
reSentative and his associate. Mr..
Hetiin, can measure arms with
the cOlOred people they will at
tempt to discriminate against. This
recent move of the Democratic rep
resentatives from the South ought
to strengthen the Democratic party
by augmentlng its vote. The col
Ored Representatives of the Demo-
cratic party cannot hope to gain
ANYTHING by supporting the Demo-
cratic party from Smith and Hef-
Inns standpoint 1t is quite evi-
dent that the Democratic party.
with such men in it, will be de-
struCtive to good government. ItI
was but a few days ago that three
cOlOred citizens were burned alive
in Tennessee because they raised
cotton near by their white neigh
bOrs and were carrying it to the gin
mill. All that the Democratic |
party wants is power. and then the |
cOlored advocates Of DemocracyI
will be convinced of their folly. |
There will be no Jim Grow" cars
IN this city, Notwithstanding Smith
and Hefin want them. The Tim
Crow" Negro may be found in ev-
cry walk of life. In politics he is
found; as the agent of moving pic
ture shows he predominates in this
city, and the people seem to sup
port them, The intelligent colored
man and woman seem to encOur-
age their children to support thesel
Jim Grow theaters. What has
become of the boasted intelligence
of the colored American in this
city; Why do they continue to
support anything that tends to dis
Criminatc against them: If the col |
ored people in this city could only
be taught race pride they would
soon see how quickly these dis
eliminating enterprises would dis
appear. There are moving picture
theaters in this city that are owned :
and controlled BY colored men.
Their pictures are up-to-date and
far superior to many that are con
trollcd by those who don't want
the patronage Of the colored citi-
ZenS.
We are to have very shortly AMI
theater, which will be a
credit to the colored people. 1t
will be a theater in which the Ne-i
gro tragedian will display his abil-
itv. There is nothing in vaude- ,
vile theaters. They don't teach
the young mind anything but vul-
garity. We see nothing but the
shape of actresses and listen TO the
vulgar savings Of the alleged COM
edian. The Bee again asks. what
do the people learn IF the proper
support IS given our own theaters
the Jim Crow theaters run by
colored men for white men will |
pass ont of existence.
