DR.. W. P. THIRKIELD.

The President of Howard Uni
versity, DIR. w. P. ThirkieId, is
not guilty of all that is charged
against him. Whatever may be
his faults, he certainly is one
white man who is doing all he
can for the uplift of the Negro.
The daily press charge him in a
sense with having taken back
water in the DR.. White affair. DIR.
Thirkield stands today where he
stood years ago, and there is no
man, white or black, who has de-
Tended the Negro, on all occasions,
braver than he has. He believes
in the redemption of the African
Negro, and if we had more men
like him, the Negro would fare
better.
The Washington bee., 1911-02-11

drawn the color line himself by
discriminating against the Negro
IN the South IN favor of the
white man. In several depart
ments Of the government colored
clerks are segregated and discrim-
mated against on account of their
color. On the face of this dis
elimination by the admins
tration and other Republi-
cans, there are hundreds of
Negroes In this city who are
drawing the color line against
each other. That is, there IS a lily
white secret movement on foot to
organize against themselves. The
question The Bee wants an
swered, should this class of Ne
grOes have any consideration, or
should their cause be espOused by
the press of the country! If the
government discriminateS and Ne
groes discriminate against them
selves, why should Negroes COM
plain! That IS the question. Every
day The Bee is IN receipt of a com
municatiOn concerning an attempt
on the part of a few Negroes who
have lost cast at their own
homes, organizing a lily white So
ciety. When The Bee gets its
data complete an expose will be
made of these shams for the good
of the many. These lily white
organizations are gotten up by
Negroes in the several depart
ments who complain that they are
Disseminated against.
About twenty-five years ago
The Bee had occasion to expose
and brake up one of these organi-
cations and retire to private life
the prince of ily-whitism. He
died an ignominious death after
having disgraced himself and his
mistress.
When we can get rid of the
lily white Negro in this city the
better the condition Of the social
element will be.
The Washington bee., 1911-02-11
WHITE AND BLACK.

Is the white race, as a whole,
against the Negro? This is a
question which The Bee shall
briefly discuss in this article. In
another column of this paper will
be seen a special from New York
IN which it is stated that Judge
j. G. Pritchard, of the Circuit
Court of the United States, is In
New York in the interest of the
National Religious Training
School, of Durham, n. &. 1t
means something for a Circuit
Court Judge to leave his State
and bench and canvass for a col
ored school without cOmpensa-
ton or hope of reward. Judge
Pritchard is a man of honor, fear
less in discussion and deliberate
in everything. When he was upon
the bench of the Supreme Court
Of the District of Columbia, he
was the boss of his job. He is
like Judge Wright; would not
permit the interference of the
United States attorneys office OF
any one else. He cared not for
public opinion when he knew that
he was in the right. The people
of North Carolina respect Judge
Pritchard, and will ever feel
grateful to him for the interest
he has taken in the National Re
igious Training School, of Dur
ham, n. G.
DR.. James E. Shepard is to be
congratulated on having such
able men as Judge Pritchard and
Ex-Governor Glenn. DR.. Shepard
deserves credit for the good work
that he is accomplishing for his
people in this country. His
school is a new propaganda to
the educational world. When he
can get such able and distinguish
ed men as Judge Pritchard and
ex-Gov. Glenn to appeal to the
American people to help him, 1t
means a great deal more than a
passing notice.
The Washington bee., 1911-02-11
BURDENS OF THEIR OWN

No doubt Major Judson and
Commissioner Johnston have bur
dens enough of their own instead
of meddling with the school ques-
tion. While The Bee takes no
stock in the Bennett charges. as
sisted by Horstman, it Will take
all the time of the Commissioners
to let Congress know that the To-
cal government is being properly
conducted. Everybody knows
that Mr.. Kalbfus is an honest
man. Because a man is a member
of the Excise Board or assistant
assessor should not be a bar to
him in purchasing property.
There are some people too hon
est to live upon the earth. Their
place is In Heaven.
The Washington bee., 1911-02-11
THE EXCISE BOARD.

Whenever an individual can not
use the Excise Board for his own
personal aggrandizement, he goes
about to find fault with it. From
the experience that The Bee has
had, it found the Excise Board a
tough proposition to deal with.
1t is evident that no license is
granted through favoritism. Ev-
'ery material compliance with the
law must be fulfilled, no matter
who the individual may be. There
have been all kinds of lawyers
who 90 before the Excise Board; ;
some small, some tall, some large
and some great in their own esti-
nation, and they are all treated
about alike, with a few excep-
tions. The bigger the lawyer is
the less consideration he gets from
the standpoint of The Bee. So it
can be seen that it is not influence
that controls the board. If you
have meritorious case you will
win, if not you will lose.
The Washington bee., 1911-02-11
MRS. RUSSELL SAGE.

DR.. James E. Shepard, of Dur
ham, n. c., may feel highly con-
graduated to have received such
a handsome gift for his school
through Judge J. c. Pritchard,
from Mrs. Russell Sage. It was
a gift that will be appreciated by
the people of this country, be-
cause DR.. Shepard is doing a
work that will be benefit to his
people. Mrs. Sage only gives
for a worthy cause, and it is quite
evident that the work of DIR.
Shepard is a meritorious one. The
Bee is proud of this young Napo-
leon of a new propaganda. He is
"a man of great executive ability,
and is able to do something for
his people. The Durham school is
a fact and a certainty.

Democrats Onnnse lis

When the House Of Representatives
took up the District Appropriation
bill in Committee of the Whole. Con
gresham Johnson, of Kentucky, on a
point of order, knocked out the ap-
preparations for the colOred schools
which Congressman Taylor had la
bored so hard to put in. Here we have
another evidence of the Democrats
love for US. The colored schools of
the District are sorely in need of all
that Congress can do for them. NJ
Street High School is crowded-over
Crowded-and the facilities and equip
ments and arrangements poor, and far
behind the white high schools; and
yet this Democratic member from
Kentucky would not stand for a new
site for M Street. When Democrats
oppose education for colored people,
to The Bee it does not appear as if
they care for our support. In fact,
it looks as If they want to drive us
further down. Along with the defeat,
because of a Democratic Congress-
mans opposition, went the apprOpria-
ton Of $4,000 for a new colored nor
nal school and appropriation for
Armstrong. The Bee appeals to the
Senate Committee on Appropriations
to restore these appropriations for
colored schools when the bill reaches
the Senate. 1t is an outrage that the
colored youths should be denied ia
.cilities and accommodations to secure
an education. Those colored men
who are advising that the race sup
port the Democratic ticket now have
another object lesson before them of
the Democrats consistent emnity to
the race

Program.

The general outline of the program
for the meeting was settled upon.
Wednesday evening, July 20, will be
given up to welcome addresses, re-
sponses and the annual address Of the
President Thursday is to be devoted
largely to the elementary schools, ar
rangements being made Cor a num-
Der of papers, followed by round-table
meetings, closing with public ad-
dresses in the evening On Friday the
Association will give itself 10 the con-
sideratiOn of secondary schools, this
including high schools and industrial
institutes, closing the day with fur
ther public addresses. On Saturday the
discussion will be confined to high
schools and colleges, closing the day
with business sessions.
According to the plan of the com
mlttee, there is to be one daylight

WOODWARD'S SUCCESSOR.

The faculty of Howard Uni
versity will appoint a man the
successor of Mr.. Woodward who
is we'll versed in real property.
Sentiment will not control this
appointment. Because a man
graduates in law is no evidence
that he is a lawyer. The faculty
has not as yet considered any can
didate, and when the Dean of the
Law Department makes his rec
|ommendation to the board Of trus-
tees of Howard University it will
be given proper consideration if
it is the proper man. The Bee
knows this much, and watch It's
prediction. The successor of Mr..
Woodward Is to be an experienced
lawyer in real property, one of the
most important chairs in the law
department of Howard Univer-
sity. He must be on the order of
the present Dean, who previously
taught this subject.

NO CURFEW LAW.

The Bee is opposed to the Ell
actment of Curfew law, and any
man who advocates it hasn't all
of his senses about him. Why
should we have such a law in the
District of Columbia? The fact
is, if such law was enacted, how
many respectable children would
be picked up on the public streets
and carried to the House of De
tention, and there placed beside
some of the most vicious elements
in this community. No, we don't
want such a law.

"CAPPERS" OUT OF COURT

The judges of the Police
Court say that they want to break
up the "cappers and Gaping" in
and around the court. This is a
hard proposition, because "cap-
ping" first begins in and around
many of the station houses.
There are "cappers" at large who
should be taken up as vagrants.
The vagrant laws are not en-
forced sufficiently. If they were
the prince of "cappers," who
hangs in and around the Police
Court morning and afternoon,
would be locked up and tried.
