should he not be optimistic, and
why should he not be touched
with gratitude!
1t is true that DR.. Washington
is no ordinary man. No ordinary
man could have achieved all he
has achieved, and accomplished
all he has accomplished for his
people in a lifetime. Yet, if one
above the ordinary could achieve
what he has achieved, it stands
! to reason that the ordinary Negro
may achieve proportionately as
much, and therefore we all have
reasons to be optimistic. DIR.
Booker T. Washington's future is
secure, in spite of any and every
thing, because he is an extraor-
binary man, and because his op-
timism keeps his face to the front,
and because his gratitude is deep
and lasting. Optimism and graf
itude ever and always assuages all
preiudices, and assures success.

THE FATHER, NOT son.

1t is cowardice in any man, who
can't whip the father, to 90 after
his son or other member Of his
family. The editor of The Bee
was not born a coward, nor when
he finds fault with the father he
is too manly to 90 after the son
or daughter. The Bee, IN this con
nection, refers to R. w. ThOmp-
son, a messenger in the Treasury
Department, and who failed to
pass an examination for a promo
ton in the War Department and
was transferred from a laborer'S 5
lob to a messengership IN the
Treasury Department.
Mr.. w. Calvin Chase, Jr.,
never was a candidate for law
clerk in the Department of jus
tice. He has never asked for the
Endorsement of any man. He
doesn't have to be any mans slave
anv more than his father. He is
a scholar. and a young man with a
trade and profession, and he Is
now seeking legal profession

held a higher position in the Gov

anything else to W. Calvin Chase,

pass an examination for anything,

r. W. Thompson was called on to-
day to enter an examination for
promotion, he would hesitate to
take it. This messenger CORE
spondent has brought and sent ar
ticles to this paper for publication
and many of them were rejected
The Bee is of the opinion that II
would be in good taste for X. W,
Thompson to be silent. One OF

turning to Indiana. w. Calvin

when he does, his father will dc

exists without so unmistakably as
it does, dissensions should not
exist within. but on the contrary,
the cohesion within ought to be
proportionately stronger than the
rreiudices without. If one army
IS able to successfully flank an
other, it will be able to cut
through its center. Just so long
as the whites can flank this race
of ours, Just so sure can they cut
through our center if made weak
bv internecine strife and petty
iealOusies.
The Irish, Germans, Jews, and
all other nationalities, take pride,
and even glory, in the men of
their race who stand In represen-
tative places, for they feel and
know such places do not 90 to the
men because of theirself alone, but
because of a desire to recognize a
people deserving of recognition.
Every colored man who holds a
position outside of the Civil Serv-
ice list was given his position that
the race might be represented. No
office IS personal, office Is always
general, and when we get men
who actually perform their duties
acceptably, they are the best men
for the race and for the place.
This mean, contemplate dispO-
sition to pull down to a level in
stead of pulling oneself up to the
height occupied by the one whom
jealousy would pull down, finds
no encouragement outside the mar
row circle of malcOntents whose
worse than mediocre ability units
them for a higher plain. Rely
upon it, it is always the small men
who would pull down, and always
the big man who boost up. And
this is not applicable to the Office
holding class alone, but to all
walks and professions IN life.
There never was a knock at
worthiness but what served as Il
boost for worthineSs. The only
knock that skaters IS the negative
act of the individual himself. You
can't stop success, and you can't
disIodge the safe and sane. So
why knock!

Development of the Negro.
(Arkansas Democrat.) }

y
The approaching national conven-
ton of Negro business men, which
will be held in Little Rock, directs at
tention to the accomplishments of this
race, which has been master of its
own affairs less than a half century.
No other race ever faced the diff
culties-and Overcame as many OF
them-as has the Negro. Held in
bondage to do his masters will for
generations, the Negro was at one
stroke of the pen of President Lin
coin placed on political equality with
the proud monarch of the globe, but
without the intelligence, education
training or environment which was
necessary for him to cope with his
changed conditions.
That the Negro should have requir-
ed several generations to acquire d
working knowledge of the affairs ot
men YVES to be expected, but that he
has, inside of so years, made place
for his people in the country where
he was so long a slave, is more than
remarkable.
Little Rock Negroes are fair sam.
pie of the achievement of the mem
bers of the race. They are no better
and no worse here than in other cit
les and sections. But here they have
accomplished much for the benefit ot
themselves, and incidentally for the
community at large.
They own and are in possession oi
solid mercantile establishments: they
are engaged in practically all lines ot
endeavOr and have entered nearly all
the professions with varying success
but as a whole they have been won
derfully successful. Physicians, at
torneys, dentists and ministers serve
their race with wonderful fidelity and
skill as result of comparatively only
a few years of training.
The schools for the race in this city
are models which might we'll be fol
lowed by the dominant race in many
sections of the country. Magnificent
buildings, equipped with every modern
convenience, with teachers than whom
there are no better to be found, offer
the coming generation even a better
chance to fit itself for the duties and
opportunities of life.
Its churches would be a credit to
any section of the country, while the
industry of the members of the race
as whole, is all that could be de-
sired.
At the coming convention these
facts will be made more manifest
doubtless, as a general principle The
Negro is to be congratulated upon his
achievement and encouraged toward
a bettering of this and the coming
generation

OPTIMISM AND GRAFT
TUDE.

In his Wherefore address, be
fore an enthusiastic crowd of
more than three thousand people,
DR.. Washington paused to praise
President Taft for his appoint
ment of Mr.. w. H. Lewis to the
position of Assistant Attorney
General. 1t was fitting that he
should do so, and the appoint
ment was useful in further illus
trating DR.. WashingtOn's claim
that this race of ours has many
reasons to be optimistic. Those in
whom gratitude finds an abiding
place, are always optimistic.
There is no man more full of
gratitude than DR.. Washington,
and consequently none more full
of optimism. From an ill-paid
laborer in the salt mines of West
Virginia to the acknowledged
greatest constructive genius of
modern times is a long, dark, de
vious, obstructed way, but Dr.
Washington reached the goal
within a half century. Then why

The Bee is publishing this week
some news touching the election tc
be held next Fall in Alexandra
County, Virginia, and in which the
colored man, by his ballot, will play
a conspicuous part.
Already The Bee has commended
CommOnwealth's Attorney Mackey tc
the colored voters, and The Bee takes
pleasure in presenting MI. NJ. J
Riley, who has announced his candi-
dacy for the office of Justice of the
Peace in Jefferson District.
Mr.. Riley promises a square dea
to all, provided he IS elected, and the
colored voters will do well by giving
him their votes.
One of the incumbents of the three
present Justices for Jefferson District
is in very bad odor with the voters
both white and colored, this dissatis

MATTE LOMAX.

There is a tempest In the tea
pot over the sentence that has been
imposed upon Matte LOmax for
numbering her husband. Those
good (?), moral (O, and Chris
ton (?) people who have been
making such a sham fight have
overlooked the man who has been
sentenced to be executed the same
day that Matte Lomax is to be
hung. There may be some exten-
uating circumstances in the case
of the man, more than is the case
of Matte LOmaX. The Bee has
refrained from saying anything
pro or con about the LOmax case.
but it was thought best to suggest
a few thoughts on the incOnsis-
tency of the agitators in the LO-
max case. Then again, The Bee
wants to inform these agitators
that the court is not to blame. The
jury found Matttie LOmax guilty
as indicted, and there was nothing
for the court to do but to sentence
her. Matte LOmaX committed a
most dastardly murder. Because
she is a woman is no reason that
she should not be executed if there
are no extenuating circumstances
in the case. There is too much
sham sentiment among colored
people anyway.

DIR. SHEPARD.

SteuDenNllle, ONO.
DR.. J. E. Shepard, of Durham, n.
c., in an address in this city, before
one of the largest white audiences
that has ever assembled, made an
everlasting impression. Press re-
ports show that the United Presby-
terian Church was crowded to the
doors. No young man ever made a
greater impression on the people and
none more appreciated. He said,
among other things:
Il have no fight to make either on
the higher or industrial education.
do not believe that a single dollar
given has lost its fruit, but in the
years to come, will show even a more
abundant harvest than the years gone
by, but the only education that will
add to the permanent uplIft and ad-
vancement of the race must be a re-
ligiOus education, and such an educa-
ton embraces both the higher and
industrial training"
1t must be admitted that DIR.
Shepard has the right conception
of what is best to reach the Col
Ored Americans. In the foregoing
sentiments expressed in a speech
at Steubenville, Ohio, he frankly
said that he had no fight to make
on either the higher or industrial
education, but the education that
will reach and benefit the masses
Is the religious education which is
a combination of both the higher
and the industrial. The aim of
this distinguished educator is to
educate the COlOred race in a
manner that will be lasting and
religiously beneficial. The South
cannot but help to feel proud of
her colored educators because they
are doing something that will
benefit the masses in every branch
of industry that will forever re-
main with a struggling people.
What nobler sentiments could
a man express than those uttered
by DR.. Shepard, at Steubenville,
Ohio? BY his manliness and de-
votion to his people the white
people in the North have learned
to honor this young man and sup
port his new propaganda. We
know from personal ObervatiOn
that if the white people of the
South oppose higher education
they don't show it at Durham
n. c., and neither do they show
it elsewhere in the South. There
may be a few isolated places in
the South that few white people
oppose the higher education of the
ColOred man, but we are con
vinced that the moneyed white
people in the South seem to ap-
preciate the efforts that are being
made by such educators as Dr.
Shepard.
The people of the North have
