PASSING STRANGE.

Among the most inslstent col
ored men for office under Presi-
dent Taft are those who, prior to
| his nomination, after his nomina-
tion, and since could find no words
IN the English vocabulary suffi-
GENTLY strong to denOunce him.
Men who were at Chicago In the
vanguard of the little army of
grafters, who for pride, were
meeting, resoluting, and vOcifer-
ously denouncing him, are now the
mostpressing for Office. And they
want no ordinary office, but want
the best. They are willing, and
anxious, to push aside those col
ored men who bore the brunt of
the battle, and who were the OBJ
iect of their denunciatiOn and vii
ifitatiOn because, fOrsooth, they es-
poused the cause of Mr.. Taft, IN
order to make comfortable berths
for themselves. But favors do not
90 to enemies, and blessings do not
fall upon vilifiers. 1t IS not the
loyal men who are loudest In their
demands that all loyal men be
counted, but it is the insurrectOs
who are demanding, when an of
flee is in sight, that they, the paid
msurrectos, stand up and be
counted for the few places which
usually 90 to men, Stanch and
true. But were these insistent,
clamorous Negro paid insurTectos
all men of ability, we might pos
siblv excuse their insistence: but
when men who are almost illit-
crates. men who are little less than
mere wardheelers and paid go-be
tweens, aspire to positions which
call for brains, tact and ability,
it is passing strange that real col
ored men should stand for them.
But some colored men, just like
some white men, do not appear to
know their limitations. They
only have brass enough to rush In
where angels fear to tread.

From the Durham, \. g, Daily

Editor w. Calvin Chase, who issues
the Washington Bee weekly, IS in
Durham until Thursday and Is at
tending the commencement at the Ma
tional Religious Training School.
A writer in the class Of Thomas For

men of his race, minus the prophets
of eternal hopelessness, IS Editor
Chase. Of Jack Johnson physique
and more inclination to fight the dew
ilish things that deserve to die, Editor
Chase, makes The Bee a power OF

week. He lives in Washington, and
many things there feck him on the

and lusty kicks. The hardest raps
that Dr. Du Bois receives are from
Chase's stinging Bee.
He thinks we'll Of Durham. The
white people are treating the COlOred

Durham is gaining a publicity that it
badly needs. There has been not a
little of blind tiger news and things
that hurt. Booker 7. Washington has
written gloriously of Durham. DR..

THE SOTTH.

1t is gratifying to the Bee to be
able to state that the conditions
in the South are improving,
While the Jim Grow" car law IS
still in vogue, many with whom
we have talked seem to appreciate
the enactment of such a law. We
find that it is the lazy class of IN
dividuals that keep the more in
dustrious class down. The Bee be-
Heves that the day will come when
race prejudice will be entirely
wiped out. There seems to be a
more friendly feeling existing be-
tween the more highly educated
class in the South. Race preju-
dice Will continue to exist as long
as ignorance continues to exist.
There are a great deal of I'M
provements being made through
out the South, and the cOlored
American is being benefited by
them. The cOlored Americans
South. Notwithstanding their I'M
pediments, are succeeding.
