som, pastor OF the church. in opening
tho meeting, said:
If Dr.. Washington had been a white
man this meeting would not be neces-
Sary: not because VIC care less for a
worthy man OF the white race, but
when an accusation, however unjust, or
suspicion. however unfounded is
lodged against i negro. public scnti-
inent may be more quickly innamcd
and II a white woman gives her wolu,
II would stand against the whole world
so far as negroes word is concerned
We are not here 10 assail the dscru.-
tied accuscrS of DIR. Washington but
to vouch for Our confidence in him.
Rev. a. I. Powell said When / FIRST
saw the papers with the account OF
the assault OF DR.. Washington, felt
like getting mob and stringing the
man responsible for it by the thumbs.
but minute later I changed my mind.
and knew that nothing since the cman-
cipation would so tend TO help the
negro race or bring it closer together
than this Very thing"
Members OF the Collegiate Baptist
Church adopted a resolution to-day
inviting DR. Washington to speak to
them from the pulpit and promising
him representative audience.
Or. Oscar Haywood. the pastor.
praised the negro educator, declarinG
that Or. Washington's method OF lead
Ing the negro race was the onIv

Hampton Sidney. after q week and q
half of hard practicing under the
coaching of Bigbie, is now ready for
the hrst game of the season with Union
Theological Seminary on Monday 81

The scrub games. which have been
extraordinary fast, have proven OF
great advantage to the squad. and
Coach Bisbie has brought the team OH
wonderfully. The team, which WITT
the exception of Captain Atkinson
Lewis and Lee is composed Of new
material, is now playing together like
veterans. Eigbie has been working
hard with his squad, and each day
great Improvement In individual ana
team work is evident The team has
shown extraordinary ability In field

the game Monday that It has been

good show to beat the team from
Richmond.
The pitchers, although q little stin.
show good speed and good curves. and
1t Is expected that the occupants of
this position Will do great work IN
tho coming season. Moore, I.fwis and
Reid have been doing most Of tho
pitching.
AS catchers, Lee and Frey are show
ing UP in excellent form. both behind
the bat and with the bat.

JOHN P. GREEN IN KENTUCKY
He Delivers a Fine Address.
(SDecIal TO The Rec !

NSDECldl TO L he bee.
Louisville, KY, May IS, IoII.-The
2Ist annual commencement of the
Central Law School, at the c. NJ. E
Church, May s, was one of the most
notable in the history of the school
There were two graduates, Mr.. John
Henry Humes, of Knoxville, Tenn.
and Frank K. Evans, of Beaumont
Texas.
The annual address was delivered
by ex-State Senator John ?. Green, OF
Cleveland, Ohio, and it was an elo-
quent and notable effort. The annual
address to the school has been de-
livered from time to time by such dis
tinguished men as United States Sen
ator W. 0. Bradley, Gov. Augustus E
Wilson. Gov. NJ. H. Thatcher. of the
Canal Zone, United States District
Judge Walter Evans, Hon. Z. H
Morris, of Chicago; Assistant United
States Attorney F. L. Barnett, of Chi
cago; Hon. Frederick l. MCGEE, OF
St. Paul, Mimi, and others of this
stamp, hence it can be seen that Mr
Green's utterances were looked for
ward to with much interest
Mr.. Green had not been to Ken
lucky since 1896, when he came
to stump the State for Mckinley and
Hobart.
On the morning of the Sth, accom-
panied by a committee headed by At
torney Albert S. White, dean of the
school, and Attorneys w. c. Brown
and A. B. McAfee, instructors, a
round of the public schools and the
State University was made, at which
points Mr.. Green made brief but
happy addresses. In the afternoon at
the palatial home of Mr.. McAfee, in
West Chestnut Street, a smoker was
given in honor of Mr.. Green, and was
attended by $50 of the leading profes-
sional ard business men of the city
After the commencement a reception
in honor of the distinguished visitor
and the graduates was given at the
same place, and was attended by the
elite of the race, more than 900 in
number.
Mr.. Green's address to the grad
yates was regarded as one OF the fin
est efforts ever heard in the city, and
was generally applauded. 1t was rich
in humor, pathOs, logic, and flights OF
oratory that swept the magnificent au-
dience off its feet
Mr.. Green's visit will long be re
membered, and the officers of the
school are highly honOred.

EX-SECRETARY DICKIN.
SON.

Negroes throughout the country
were delighted when they learned
that Secretary of War Dickinson
had resigned. He was an enemy
to the race, and a Democrat who
had no sympathy with or for
educated Negroes. He was a
great drawback 70 the Taft ad-
ministration, and had he re-
mained would doubtless have lost
the President many thousands of
Negro votes at the next presi-
dental election. The presence of
"a Democrat In a Republican cabi-
net, and Confederate Democrat
at that, is a big load to carry, no
matter how brainy he may be.
There are enough Republicans to
fill all offices under Republican
administration. We are glad that
Dickinson has resigned.
The Washington bee., 1911-05-20

pie of the Republican party is
equality of citizenship. Mr. Dick
inson said some time ago, or
rather is reported to have said,
that the ballot ought to be taken
from the negro in the South. If
this declaration is true, ought
such a man be retained In the
Cabinet of a Republican admin
istratiOn? Mr.. Dickinson may be
a good Secretary of War for the
white people, but so far as the
colored Americans are concerned,
his retirement could not have
come too soon. The Democratic
party believes in Democrats fill
ing their offices. The control of
the Democratic House is an evi-
dence of what the Democratic
party would do if it obtained con-
troll of this Government. Nobody
grieves at the retirement of Mr..
Dickinson.

TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION.
MINISTER TO HAITI.

The name of Prof. Kelly Mil
ler, dean of the College of Arts
and Sciences at Howard Univer-
sity has been mentioned fire.
quently, during the past week,
for the position of Minister to
Haiti. If President Taft, from
out the many applications before
him for this post, should decide
to name Prof. Miller he could
not please the race, the entire race,
better. There is not a corner on
this continent where the name of
Prof. Miller is not known to and
reverenced by Negroes. He is a
ripe scholar, the races primere
scholar. His life has been as
clean and pure as the white
driven snow. He is a man of un-
blemished character. No disgust
ing and selacious charges of
immortality could even be limited
at which could involve Prof.
Miller. Like Caeser's wife, he is
above suspicion, and it is much
preferred that cOlOred men, as well
as white men, when sent to repre-
sent this country abroad should
be men of pure, unblemished
morals, men against whom
charges of immortality have never
been and cannot now be brought.
1t would be a fitting tribute to
Negro scholars, to the highest
ideals embraced by the highest
and best of our race, and it would
be honoring the Haitians to nomi-
nate a man like Prof. Miller as
Minister to Haiti.
The Bee is satisfied that cOlOred
men and colOred women every
where In this country would en-
dOrse, and enthusiastically too,
the appointment of Prof. Miller.
\ brilliant scholar, race man in
every fiber of his makeup, a well
poised, far-seeing man, he is also
morally clean. There are no
leopard spots on Prof. Kelly
Miller.
