ESTABLISHED 1880.
BISHOP WALTERS.

Bishop Alexander Walters has
declared and did declare in his
speech of acceptance at a testimo-
nial given in his honor at the Gal
braith Church last Thursday even
ing, December 18th, that the Dem
ocratic party has kept every pledge
made to him relative to the appoint
ment and retention of colored men.
The Bishop also stated that there
are at least three representative
colored men holding good paying
positions under the Democratic
party, and that he has no fear of
cOlOred men being i'll treated if the
Democratic party succeeds in elect
ing its President. in 1912. The
good Bishop may know what he is
talking about, but there is one thing
certain, he is convincing somebody
and his Democratic doctrine is max
ing inroadS some where. The Bee
is free to admit that Democratic
COlOred men, or those cOlOred men
who are advocating the principles
Of the Democratic party are max
ing a strong impression on many
COlOred voters throughout the
country, and the Republican COM
mittee should do something to off
set the statements that are being
made by those cOlOred Democratic
agitatOrS. OF course, they have a
right to express their opinions.
The Bee cannot attack their hon
esty, because they have right to
express themselves as they see fit.
1t is surprising to see so many rep
resentative colored men going into
the Democratic party. What does
it mean? Has the conduct of the
Republican party warranted this in
t1uX of COlOred voters? Why do we
be idle and passive? The cOlOred
Democrats have opened headquar-
terS at the corner of Eleventh and
You streets Northwest. What
does this all mean? Colored Re
publiCans get a move on yourselves.
Bishop Walters further declared
that if bettering the condition of
the colored people means Democ-
raCy, then he is a Democrat. If
denouncing wrong and race dis
elimination means Democracy, then
he IS a Democrat. No man in this
county loves his race any more than
he does, and to this end he means to
fight.

PRIMARY 7 AW

There are few men who favor
the passage of a primary law to
elect delegates to the next National
Republican convention. The people
of this city have burdens enough.
There is no need of an expensive
law and a squander of the tax
payers money to elect two dele
gates to a Republican convention,
If there is to be a suffrage law
passed let it be one indeed and in
fact.

PRESIDENT TAFT.

The Bee was the first organ edi-
ted by Colored Americans to in
dorse the denomination of Presi-
dent Taft and Mr.. Charles D.
Hilles for the craftsmanship of the
National Republican Committee.
Mr.. Taft may have displeased many
Republicans for several of his ap-
pointments, but he has certainly
endeavored to do what he could to
advance the interest Of the people.
His appointments of colored men to
responsible positions have given
satisfaction. 1t is the duty of the
Republicans throughout the coun-
try to be united for the good of the
party and give President Taft mdi-
vided support.

DECEMBER 18th


December I4th seemed to have
been a day of political banquets and
Odd Fellowship. Two of the most
notable banquets were those of DR..
Booker T. Washington and Bishop
Alexander Walters. DR.. Washing
ton was banqueted in the old his
torlc mansion of the late Charles
Sumner, which is an annex to the
Arlington Hotel, From the report
of the banquet elsewhere in this
weeks Bee, the affair was a bril-
liant one.
Our distinguished friend. Bishop
Alexander Walters. was banoueted
by the citizens of this city and his
personal friends at the Galbraith
Church, of which DR.. Corrothers
is pastor. The Editor of The Bee
attended both, and had a most en-
ioyable time. The editor took oc-
casion to inform the good Bishop
that he did not agree with him in
political lines, and would accord
him the right, however, to say and
act, as in his judgment would seem
just and proper. Bishop Walters
has asserted that, should the Demo
cratic party come into power, the
Negro will not be disfranchised.
That may be all true, but what can
the Democrats do with such men as
Vardaman, Hoke Smith and Jeff
Davis? The Bee has always said
that there are some good men in
the Democratic party, and when
President Taft appointed Mr.. Jus
tice White, he appointed not only
a Democrat, but an ex-Confederate.
The Chief Justice is a good man.
We should not condemn Mr.. White
because he fought for a cause
which he believed to be right and
proper, any more than we should
condemn President Taft. The col
ored brother is peculiar. White
Democrats and white Republicans
can feast together, why can't col
ored Democrats and colored Re
pubIicans do likewise? At the
Walters banquet last Thursday
evening colored Republicans and
colored Democrats were in har-
mony so far as that particular so
cial function was concerned. All
classes and denominations assem-
bled to do honor to a distinguish
ed man who doesn't think as we
do, but who loves his race and is
doing the best he can, as he sees it,
for his people.
The Washington dinner was
i composed of some of the best
brains in the country. The men
wanted the country to understand
that they had confidence in him,
and they demonstrated it by being
present to do him honor.
The other social function was
given by the Odd Fellows at Odd
Fellows Hall. 1t was also a So
cial event that was worthy of the
men who gave it.
December I4th was a dOy of great
social events among the COlored
| Americans.

JAMES AND BRO.

Two of the most enterprising
funeral directors in the city are the
James and Bros. Eugene and ]. Ar
thur James There are no two young
men more respected; there are no two
men any more liberal to the poor than
these two young men. They are
known to look after the poor of their
neighborhood every Christmas. There
are no two men in this city better
qualified for the profession in which
they are engaged. They are reliable
and trustworthy, and never attempt to
take the advantage of any one.
When you employ the James broth
ers you employ honorable and reliable
men.

MIR BRADSHAW

The Blaine Invincible Republican
Club has indorsed Mr.. Aaron Brad
shaw as a delegate to the National
Republican convention, which is to
convene in the City of Chicago,
June 18th next. There are many
good things to be said of Mr..
Bradshaw. In the first place, he
has always been a Republican
when it tried mems souls. He is
sound on the Negro question. and
always has been. The history of
his life shows that he sacrificed his
position under the government be-
cause he voted for a Negro. The
Republican voters Of the city will
make no mistake if they send Mr..
Bradshaw to the convention. He
is one among the few men who has
kept alive the Republican party in
this city, and whenever he gave his
word to do a thing it would be
done. 1t is not believed that any
colored Republican will vote
against him.

Found on the Track

This evening, Immediately after the
passage of the coast train for the west,
a man was found wandering beside the
railroad track. He was in dazed con-
dition, his face and head were covered
with blood and he was unable to give
an account of himself. At first it
appeared like a case of a drunken man
who had been in fight, but on closer
investigation it was found that he was
severely injured-had apparently fallen
off the train or had been injured around
the train in some way. Marshal Denny
took the man in charge and called DR..
Sutherland to give him medical atten-
ton. The man is about 80 years of
age, of respectable appearance and
papers in his possession would indicate
that his name was Chas. F. Lyle of
kinross, Iowa. He was taken to the
Willis hotel where he was wildly delir-
ious all night. An effort will be made
to communicate with his friends. He
was found beside the track west of
town. -Andover Gazette.

Leave The Stone in Sight

It has been suggested to US that we
caution parties digging stones out OF
the road not to throw them in the grain
fields but pile them on the side in plain
sight, and in cases where the road
through the field is narrow to carry
them to the end of the field. A stone
in the road is a bad thing for an auto
but stone in the field is mush worse
for binder, as in the first instance the
driver can see and avoid it, while in
the second he is almost certain to drive
on to it and do more or less damage to
his binder and generally more.
A little thoughtfulness in this matter
will save time, trouble and expense and
it won't cost any one cent.
