THE PuRBEcK MARBLERs.
An English Industry Entirely Free
From Labor Disputes.

There is an industry carried on in
England which is entirely free from
strikes, lockouts and labor disputes
in general.
This remarkable state of affairs
is due to the simple fact that the
men are the masters and the mas
tiers are the men.
The industry in which the corpo-
ration is engaged consists Of quar-
rying the marble found in the Isle
of Purbeck, a peninsular district Of
Dorsetshire. Nearly hundred
quarrics are worked here, in what
used to be a royal deer forest, and
the whole of the industry is man.
aged by curious kind of trades
guild, entitled 'sThe Ancient Guild
of Purbeck Ma-blers."
All the marble belongs to the de-
scendants of the original Purbecll
quarrymen who formed the guild,
and no other person has any right
in the quarries. None other is al
lowed to join the guild. None can
ever become a member of the guild
save he be Of the blood.
This peculiar guild has been in
existence for many hundreds of
years-probably, indeed, before the
coming of the Normans. As soon as
quarryman's son reaches the age
of fourteen he is admitted to the
guild, being apprcnticcd under
some member, usually his father,
until he is of age. When he reaches
the age of twenty-one he is entitled
to become a freeman of the guild.
Every Shrove Tuesday meeting is
held in the town hall at Corfc Cas-
| tie, whore those entitled to their
freedom pay the price, which con-

ale and a penny loaf.
When once the man becomes free
in this manner he has the right to
take marble or stone from anywhere
he wishes in the isle, though. OF
course, he has to pay a fixed roy

Habit is the deepest law of HUI

stances, our miserablcst weakness.
Let me so once, scanning my way

and successfully arriving, my foot

is easier than any other way. Habit
is our primal fundamental Law
habit and imitation. There is moth

two. They are the source OF all
working and all apprenticeship, Of
all practice and all learning in the

Judge Gibbs, who is now in the seer

has been honored repeatedly, by the
party that accomplished the tree

and abroad, and well did he hll

country, party, race and self. Now
at the age of eighty and eight years,
when he should be enjoying the

THE MASK DEE.

When colored men set their sail
to catch each passing breeze they
adopt. or include in selected elon-
gated name the word "independ-
ent." But independent, in this con-
nection usually means that the
members are for the highest bidder,
or for either or both parties at the
same time. That was true during
the last Presidential campaign, for
some of the members of this same
National Independent. Political
League which convened at Boston
last week were VIGOROUSLY offering
their services first to the Democrats
and then to the Republicans, and
before the campaign was over some
of them had accepted funds from
both parties. 1t is a fact that this
league, which enormously uses the
word independent" is composed
of some Negroes who are Demo
Gratis for cash. Now would it not
have been much better, and more
honorable. and more honest, II
they had adopted the name OF
the National Negro Democratic
League? Such a name would have
not been misleading. AS it IS, how
ever their adopted name, National
Independent Political League, IS
not misleading to the initiated. On

JUDGE EMANUEL M. HEWLETT
Comes Out for President Taft-Sees
Nothing in the Democratic Party

Judge Emanuel NJ. Hewlett, for a
number of years one Of the most COM
petent judges in the District of Co
lumbia, and whose record stands to-
day equal to any member of the bar
has come out uneqU'vocally for Pres
ident Taft In speaking to a Bee
representative, Judge Hewlett said
that he sees nothing in the Demo
cratic party, and so far as President
Taft is concerned he doesn't believe
that any better man can be nominated
as the Republican standard bearer
The colored voters of the country
would do themselves an injustice
should they attempt to desert the prin-
ciples of the Republican party.
During the last Presidential cam
paign Judge Hewlett canvassed sew
eral of the Eastern States for the Re
PUBLICAN party, and from the letters
of commentator from the Republi-
can State Committees, Judge Hewlett
made a strong impression on the Re
publican voters wherever he spoke
AS a speaker he is effective and con-
vincing, and no doubt Judge Hewlett
will be among the first speakers to
enter the next campaign for President
Taft and his party, which he has so
wisely represented.

My Dear Nh Chase:
| take this opportunity to express
my appreciation for the many, many
direct and indirect influences which
you have enabled us to reach through
the medium of The Bee. The growth
of a healthy and aggressive senti
ment towards the establishment of
business high school for our boys and
girls has been greatly aided by the
friendly attitude of The Bee
After all the real test of any for
mula of education is the attitude of
the people towards it, who are to ex-
perience its benefits and in enabling
us to show that the most influential
and widely read cOlored newspaper
gives the matter its unqualified in
dorsement you have been a real help.
Again thanking you, have the

And banking is the highest order Of
fnanciering. But these men were
recognized BY membership in these
two organizations not because they
were colored men, but because their
ability and achievements merited it,
and in spite of their color. The
election Of neither was from senti-
ment. but because their careers en-
titled them to this membership.
While these hOnOrs came to them
not because they were colOred men,
still the fact that they are colored,
and members OF a race who, fifty
wears ago was in hopeless, abJect
slavery. forms indisputable proof
that we. as a race, are making Won
derful progress. Every day we
meet with some discOuraging pref
udice that all but makes pessi-
.mists of US, and yet the day after
comes records of some achieve
ment, on the part of some mem
bers of the race, that changes pes
simism into optimism John Nit
.chel has now been a member of the
American Bankers Association for
several years, and he has proven a
credit to that association of sue
cessful hnanciers. And VIM. H.

premier association of distinguish
ed lawyers of this country. True
it is we are making progress, and

Oppression, O! where is thy vir-
tues?
In the latter the colored inde-
pendent voters seem to find virtue
and consolation. In the former
there seems to be a pill. The SEN
sible men in the Negro race have
seen and realized enough of the op-
preston that seems to impede the
progress of the race. Liberty is a
sweet recreation for the grateful
and those who have been benefited
by those who have sacrificed life
and property. Should the blandish-
ments of official power prevent
those who today enjoy liberty, be a
stay to the performance of their po-
litical duty to the party that was
instrumental in giving the Oolored
Americans the fruits which are en-
loved by the more fortunate Amer
lean citizens? The cOlored man
complains of unjust treatment and
discrimination. No advancement is
made by any progressive people
without a struggle.
We have been told that the Cath
olic Church offered the colored
American greater protection than
any other institution. 1t must be
admitted, as a Negro philosopher
has said, and The Bee, upon inves-
tigation finds that he is correct
Wherever the Catholic Church con-
trolls, or wherever a community eX-
lists of a Catholic sentiment, you
will find no lynching. All the mobs
that break loose, burn and lynch
Colored citizens you will never find
a Catholic a participant, Strange
as this declaration may seem, The
Bee would like for any one to point
out one Catholic to be a participant
in a lynching mob. You will find
the Catholic Church condemning
mob violence and mob law. You
will find every denomination in a
lynching mob except a Catholic
Why is it? 1t is because that there
is more true Christianity and hu-
manity in the Catholic Church than
there is III many of those prOfeSSed
Christians of other denominations.
The Catholic Church believes in
equality of manhood. In every
Catholic gathering or convention
the cOlored Americans are invited
to take part. If there is a Catholic
parade, the colored Americans are
given places in line. The only in
consistant act of the Catholic
Church is segregation of Negroes
in the churches. Why they will in
vite the Negro to take part in pa
radeS and give them places along
side write Catholics and when it
comes to the church the cOlOred
communicates are separated. The
Bee doesn't understand. Other than
this the cOlored Americans are
given equal freedom and liberty in
the Catholic Church.
There is nothing better than lib
erty, no matter from whom it
comes, There is a great deal of
hypocrisy in the So-called Christian
church. Some people can pray
harder and louder and do more
devilment than the hardest sinner.
The So-called independents find
more liberty in the StingS of their
enemies and virtue oppressive than
they do honor in the Republican
party.

MAKING PROGRESS.

The election of VIM. H. Lewis to
membership in the American Bar
Association, following closely on
mis- appointment as Assistant At
torney General not only puts Mr..
Lewis in the pioneer class, but it is
the best evidence possible that the
race is making progress. With
VIM. H. Lewis member of the
American Bar Association, and
John Mitchell, j., of Richmond,
Va, a member of the American
Bankers Association, we have a
recognition of the race in the great

PETTICOATS IN CONTROL

The so-called progressive citi-
zens association of Fairmount
Heights will not consolidate with
the regular citizens association,
which it bolted some time ago. 1t
seems that the men in this assoCia-
ton are controlled by the petticoats
who are the dominating faction,
and refuse to join hands with the
regulars At meeting of the so
called progreSSiyes held last Tues
day evening, there were several ad-
yOCates who favored a COnsOlida-
ton, but the leader of the female
petticoat faction threw a hrebrand
into the ranks of the meeting and
declared that the regulars should
come to the boilers. 1t is quite ev-
ident that this division is to con-
tinue as long as the petticoats hold
sway. Several sensible speeches
were made by Col. Lewis and Mr..
Harris, but they had no effect with
the petticoats. 1t is to be regretted
that sensible men would allow a lot
of hot-headed women to dominate
an organization that could do 50
much good for q community. In
the first place, females should be
eliminated from both organizations,
and until it is done this division will
be continued.
