A Touch That Didn't Fail.


Alexander n. Dockery, former gov
ernor of Missouri, was at one time
member Of the house Of representa-
tives and while filling the job made
the acquaintance Of a needy young
man who formed the habit Of borrow
ing too much money. Dockery got
tired of being touched" every few
days and decided to put stop to it.
One day he was called from the house
chamber by the borrowing friend.
"Say, Dockery," came the usual re-
quest, "can you lend me twenty?
Dockery looked grieved and cast
down, felt in all Of his pockets and
nearly succeeded in squeezing out a
tear from his left eye.
II haven't got a cent" he said in
sepulchral tones.
At that moment he spied page boy
coming down the corridOr--a boy who
he knew was always hard up. The
legislator saw a way Of making an
effective escape.

concluded. Turning quickly, he called

WORKHOUSE DISCRIMIN-
ALTON.

The Commissioners of the Dis
trict of Columbia may know it, or
they may not know it, but never
theless it is a fact, that the col
ored prisoners at the District
workhouse are driven through the
public streets IN a wagon to work,
while the white prisoners are kept
in the background or very seldom
seen OF exposed to the public. The
Bee takes this occasion to call the
attention of the District Commits
siOners to this branch of the public
service under their supervision.
Why are colored prisoners brought
through the streets and exposed to
the public while the white prison
ers, charged with similar Otfenses,
are hidden from public view! \
prisoner is a prisoner, no matter
what his color may be.
Some few years ago The Bee
called the attention of the Com
missiOners of the District of Co
lumbia to this gross discrimina-
ton that existed at the workhOuse
against the colored prisoners. The
then superintendent of the work
house informed Mr.. Macfarland,
who had the supervision of the
workhouSe, that the discrimina-
ton complained of by The Bee
didn't exist, when, as a matter of
fact, that very day colOred men
could be seen in the workhouse
going in the direction of
Massachusetts, avenue and Elev
nnth street northwest going tOl
work. Wherever white and col
pred prisoners are, there you will
find discrimination. The Commits
,ioners, The Bee hopes, will seeI
hat this discrimination will bel
looked after.

LEWIS APPOINTMENT.

The name of Hon. William II.
Lewis was sent to the Senate
Tuesday, as fOreslladOwed in this
newspaper last week, to be As
sistant Attorney General. Every
Negro lawyer in this country will
thank the President for this APP
pointment for the reason that, in
addition to giving high recOgni-
ton to the race, it IS a splendid
recognition of Negro lawyers, and
will do more than any one thing
to elevate Negro lawyers at the
bar. 1t gives the profession, 50
far as the race IS concerned, Il
standing never before enjoyed.
There were a few pessimists who
continued to assert that President
Taft would never appoint Mr..
Lewis to this position. This news
paper never shared in this belief.
We have always believed that the
President intended to appoint
him, but believed he did not care
to have the appointment construed
merely as a bid for cOlored votes,
but rather as a deserved compli-
ment to the race and to cOlOred
lawyers.
In common with all race news
papers and all members of the
race who delight in honors be-
slowed upon the race and high
recognition given to the race, we
thank President Taft for this ap-
pointment, the highest honor ever
conferred upon a member of the
race bv anv President.
The Washington bee., 1911-03-04

1ouble-column, dOuble-leaded 49,
point editorial in its issue of Feb
ruary Is, under the caption of
''The Common Sense of the Whole
Matter" in which the President
is. in effect, criticised for his an
nounced intention to appoint bfr.
Napier Register of the Treasury
to succeed DR.. Vernon. The Bee
entertains the highest respect for
both Mr.. Napier and DR.. Vernon,
and wishing both success, is not a
party to preferring one above the
other, and does not think that DR..
Vernon has, directly or indirectly,
melted The Independents edi-
tOrial. We do think, however, be-
cause of Hon. Henry Lincoln
Johnson's connection with The
Independent, that it hardly
squares with propriety for that
newspaper to criticise the Presi-
dents selection of a negro for
office, and especially when that
negro is a high type of a gentle
man and qualified to administer
the office.
The Atlanta Independent labors
under the mistaken idea that the
prime requisition for a negro
oficeholder is political Jealous
ness. The prime requisite for a
negro ofiiceholder, and the requis-
ite that will, when employed, re-
fleet the highest credit upon his
people, is ability to perform the
duties, and an inclination to as
sumo and to perform his official
duty. We are of the opinion that
a second thought would have ar
gued against the writing of The
independents editorial. for pro-
priety sake, and for the reason
that Mr.. Napier's appointment
has been determined upon and
will be made. In what we have
said we mean in nOwise to detract
from DIR. Vernon's ability. We are
playing no favorite IN this race,
which has been run and won.

KILL THE BEE.

Well, there has sprung up a
new Richmond that has been
changed. so it informed the
insurance office of the District
Government, from the organ of an
insurance company to an organ
for the people. This newborn in
FAINT. like all others that suddenly
spring out of a shell, intends to
clean up the earth for all other
papers, The Bee especially. 1t IS
instructing its newsboys to declare
against other papers, The Bee
especially. Perhaps the following
suggestion may be of some benefit
to the newborn baby:
"A man once did sell the lions
skin while the beast still lived,
and was killed while hunting
him."
The Washington bee., 1911-03-04
THE POOR AND THE RICH.

just why Congress wants to
raise the salaries of the District
Commissioners and the executive
departments wanted to add an
additional half hour to the gov
ernment clerks without additional
pay are a few of the political pc
cuIiarities of the Government.
The rich man wants more money,
and the poor man is being re-
duced. One of the three Commits
sioners is so rich that he is able to
pay handsomely fifteen servants.
If a man is that rich, and is able
to run several automobiles worth
thousands of dollars, why should
his salary be raised? There are
hundreds of men in this country
who are anxious to serve the Gov
ernment at a salary of $4,000 per
year. The rich man is made richer
and the poor man is reduced in
salary.
What great Government
this is.

EDITOR SLAUGHTER.

Editor Slaughter, Of the Odd
Fellows Journal, has returned to
the city with bag and baggage.
This city has a soothing effect on
all people who come here. Once
they inhale the sweet odOr and
witness the magnificent distances
and become intoxicated with the
social element, no man or woman
was ever known to remain away.
Editor Slaughter is a genial
fellow, and is able to edit the
Journal if the S0-called supreme
court of the order will just let
him alone. Editor Slaughter will
have his ups and downs. He must
keep before the public eye with
fiattering comments on the ambi-
tious judges and their great legal
knowledge of the law. IF the
court should decide that a monkey
is a mule, Editor Slaughter must
say amen to it.
If the court should make the
mistake and read from Chitty
instead of Blackstone, Editor
Slaughter must say amen. If the
court should feel like sustaining an
unjust petition for the abolition
of a lodge that has been unjustly
put out of business. Editor
Slaughter must say amen.
He must not take issue with the
grand master or the grand
Of recent fame, if he wants
to edit the Journal in peace Re
member poor Asberry, Editor
Slaughter, and profit by past
events.
The Bee sympathizes with its
able contemporary, but wishes
him all the success In the world.
Keep in the middle of the road,
Editor Slaughter, and take advice
Of those who placed you upon the
throne. because. if you don't, you
will fall, like Lucifer, never to
rise again"
The Bee hopes that no member
of the supreme court will attempt
to dictate to you as to how you
shall run the paper of the lodge,
but will permit you to exercise
your own judgment, because you
are a first-class and practical
printer.
Keep out of politics, and don't
be led into snares, is the advice
of your long-life friend, The Bee,
because it has been the downfall
of many great men.
The Washington bee., 1911-03-04
MISS MOTEN.

The Bee likes a fighter. 1t can
appreciate a manly man or wo-
man. Hypocrites and backbiters
have no standing with The Bee.
Miss Lucy MOten, the principal
of Normal School No. 2, IS " oman
enough to say what she thinks
without fear or favor. She gave
her reasons last week why she had
not subscribed for The Bee. Her
objections were based on the the
ory that The Bee had unjustly
criticised her. The Bee has always
had the highest respect for the
lady. because she was woman
enough to kill the sneaks and hyp-
Ocrites that were slyly stabbing
her.
The Bee is with Miss Moten
while she continues to be the wo-
man who is able to defend herself
against the scheming of those who.
have endeayOred to defeat her.
The Bee knew that Miss MOtenI
was a good Christian; hence she
sends her subscription to The Bee
for one year.
The Washington bee., 1911-03-04
DEAD HEADS

There were one hundred dead
head subscribers dropped last
week and their names posted in
this Office for non-payment of their
subscriptions. The Bee doesn't t
propose to carry any dead heads
on its books. neither for the nom
payment of subscriptions nor adj
vertisements. 1t costs money to
run a newspaper, and more espec-
tally a paper edited in the inter
est particularly of colOred Amer
leans. Some cOlOred subscribers
will not pay, no matter what their
occupation may be. OfficehoIders,
with few exceptions, are the
hardest individuals we have to
contend with. If you don't want
your name placed on the dead
head list and hung up in this
office. pay up at once. As fast as
the circulation manager gets to
the names of the dead heads they
are placed on the dead-head list.
The Washington bee., 1911-03-04
PLAYING JUDGE.

Referring to the sO-caIled
Judges of a sO-called reform court
of the Grand United Order of
Odd Fellows, reminds The Bee of
the colored justices of the peace
who once held office in this city.
There were nine justices of the
peace. and so anxious were the
colored justices to magnify their
office. they had elevated plat
forms, while the white justices
only had a desk upon the floor
with no elevated appurtenances.
1t was amusing to see the cOlOred

found among all men who might
have been eligible for this high,
important and confidential posi-
ton. Dewey" Hilles, as he is
Familiarity known to intimates, is
the personification of uprightness.
Gentle IN his treatment of men,
he is, nevertheless, frank, honest
and considerate of the rights of
others. In him the race will have
a true friend at court, and his
selection, we are sure, will dispel
every feeling of anxiety on the
part of the race and restore wan
ing confidence to all doubling
ones.
The President is to be congrat-
ulated upon his wise selection of
a secretary, and the ten millions
of negroes are to be congratulated
on the promise of consideration
his selection holds out to them.
There IS not negro in this coun-
try who has ever come III contact
with Mr.. Hilles, whether before
or since his entrance into official
life, but will declare that he is the
soul of honor, the acme of fair
ness, and the duplication of gen
uineness. He Is the same to-day
as yesterday, and yesterday he
was all that has been said of him.
Mr.. Hilles' selection spells Hope
for the negro.
