WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

Some of the white people have
gone crazy because the cOlOred
man is rising. What does it
mean? Race prejudice is on the
increase and the only thing that
will eliminate it, will be the in
vasion of some foreign power,
Then the cOlOred man will be an
absolute necessity. The cOlOred
man seems to figure In everything.
No matter how loyal he is to the
Flag and his country, some Dem
ocrat will throw something to
disgrace himself.
What does it mean! In the
several executive departments you
will see some of the most refined
and highly educated colored
clerks segregated. The chiefs of
the divisions are afraid to allow
their cOlored clerks to sit with the
whites.
Why should we acknowledge
our inferiority! Why should a
race that has been once at the
head of civilization and will be
again, acknowledge its inferior
itv? The colOred race asks to be
let alone and be permitted to
point out its own destiny. In the
late civil war of the rebellion the
colored soldier fought for a cause
that should give him protection
The editor of The Bee is proud
of his people. He has never seen
any white woman that he would
take in exchange for one of his
variegated roses. Our women
cannot walk upon the public
streets without receiving an in
suit from some white man.
But is he protected! Is he re-
ceiving that consideration that
any other nation would give mer-
itOriOus services to the deserving
The black men of France are rec
ognized for their merit. No mat
ter what the American colored
man does, he fails to be given that
consideration that he deserves.

the next National convention ap-
proaches, the cheap colored poll
tician becomes active. Already
many of those who rebelled
against Taft before the Chicago
convention, and hustled out for
Bryan. during the campaign, are
Inow protesting to be great Re
pubicans. The time of the
CRATER is near, and the cheap col
0red politician is a constitutional
CRATER. The Bee Is preparing a
! list of the cOlOred men who Op-
posed Mr.. Taft, and who either
! Topped over to get money, or tried
their hardest to connect up with
the Republicans campaign fund,
after they found they could not
work the Democrats any farther.
And several of these men are res
idents of Washington, but for
convenience. claim some State as
their domicile. The Bee proposes
to give the history of these men,
and the part they played in the
campaign of 1907. The same fel-
lows are preparing now to work
both parties, as all grafters will
do. They have no influence, no
constituency, and no principle.

SCHOOL CHANGES.

The Board Of Education APP
pointed new Superintendent of
Schools to succeed Mr.. Stuart.
The Bee regrets the retirement of
this school benefactor. The
teachers, both white and cOlOred,
learned to love him. The APP
pointment of Capt. James F.
Oyster meets with hearty ap-
prOval. There is no man who Is
any more popular with the peo-
pie.
Mrs. w. II. Harris was APP
pointed the successor of Mrs.
Terrell.
Mrs. Harris is a well-knOwn
citizen Of Washington and wO-
man of ability. The Bee feels
confident that Mrs. Harris will
give entire satisfaction as a mem
Der of the Board of Education.

THE DEMOCRATIC HOUSE.

1t is amusing to see 50 many
Southern Democrats criticise the
colored Americans. In another
column of The Bee will be read
with interest an excerpt from the
Congressional Record, which
should be read by all sensible peo-
pie. In the course of his remarks,
one speaker is reported to have
said that he would not permit
Negroes to be seated In certain
departments of the Government.
Of course, some Southern Demo
Gratis as those who are so sensitive
on the color question, come from

The Democrats had a splendid
opportunity to fish for the col
Ored vote when they assumed con-
troll of the House of Representa-
tives, but the best they would do
was to throw out a hook baited
with a couple Of laboring jobs,
that white men did not want, to
the cOlored brother. And now
comes Senator Bailey. of Texas,
who. in a speech last Monday
night, said that the cOlOred race
was simply tolerated in this cOun-
try, and that they could only re-
main here so long as they ac-
knowledged their inferiority. We
commend the speech of Senator
Bailey to Bishop Walters, Prof.
Du BOis, Editor TrOtter, and a
few other colored Democrats.

it published in its news columns
two weeks ago that r. w. Thomp-

johnson credit for accomplishing
something. In this we were mis-
taken. Thompson was transferred

REV. JAMES II. LEE.

If there ever was an honest
man in the Christian pulpit it is
Rev. James II. Lee, pastor of the
Third Baptist Church. In The
Bee last week there was published
a full report of the 25th Silver
Jubilee of the anniversary of his
pastOrate of the Third Baptist
Church. The report shows that
Rev. Lee has been honest, moral
and upright in the administra-
ton of his church. He has been
hard worker and he has ac-
counted for every cent that has
passed through his hands. The
Bee has always had the highest
respect for this well-known di-
vine. because he has been manly
and morally upright. DR.. Lee,
