TRAITORS AMONG Us.

There is no necessity for the
Negro to lament. There are trai-
tors within as we'll as without, in
front. back, on the side and be-
hind the race. There is a class of
cOlOred wen who Will sell the race
out for office, and a few will sell
the race out in the hope of getting
an office. There are traitors
among us. If the Negro was of
no value, certain white people
would not attempt to keep him
down. The best evidence Of the
races importance are the laws
that the Legislatures are en-
acting to keep them from obtain
ING an education. The South
should be taught a lesson. The
administration should give the
Southern white people to under
stand that the same Constitution
that protects them protects the
Negro. We have some good white
people in this country, and we
thank those people who are do
ing all in their power to elevate
the Negro, Notwithstanding the
many discriminating laws that
are being enacted.
The traitors within our Own
ranks and those without are the
impediments to the races adj
vancement. There Is no reason
why we should be discouraged.
These oppositions and discrimina-
tions are the remnants of seces-
sion and DRAWINGS of ''rebeldom. "
The South is dying hard.
What the Negro sees and feels
now are the last sediments III the
rebels bottom. All of these
things will pass away soon, and
then the preiudiced white man
will realize his folly.
There are a few traitors left
and the advice of The Bee Is
there Is no cause to lament.

MANHOOD.

The colOred race must learn
how to respect their manly men.
No nobler sentiments ever fell
frcm the lips of man than when
Justice Stafford said, among other
things. at the Fifteenth Street
PRESBYTERIAN Church, that the
Negro must contend for every inch
of his rights. When President
Taft submitted to certain Negroes
in this country certain pages OF his
inaugural address for their APP
proyal or disapproval, he failed
to select the right kind. He
should have selected the manly
Negro and not the toady, or men
who have no manhood rights
Such men as Dubois, Waldron
Corrothers and Bishop Walton

never would have delivered suci

PRESIDENT TAFT.

In another column of The Bee
this week Will be seen, excerpts
from a letter written by Presi-
dent Taft to Mr.. Whitfield Nc
KinIay. While it IS true that
President Taft appointed Mr.. Nc
Kinlay Collector of Customs at
Georgetown, d. c., he can never
right the wrong that he has III
flicted upon the Southern Negroes
by removing them from office and
appointing in their places eX-
Confederates, Democrats and Ne
grO-haters. He may have his own
way of solving the race problem.
but it can never be done by per-
mitting his officials IN the EXecu-
tive Departments to discriminate
against the cOlored Americans, as
is being done to-day. If Mr.. Taft
wants to convince the colOred man
that he is his friend, he must APP
point Negroes to office who repre-
sent something and are able to
draw from the masses. President
Taft IS an adept of putting upon
paper what he does not carry out
So far as The Bee IS concerned
it is tired of pulling chestnuts
out of the fire, while others are
standing off and being benefited
The Bee does not subscribe to the
contributed article which appears
in this weeks issue. President
Taft must see that race discrim-
nation in his Executive Depart
ments ceases before he can longer
hope for the support of the Ne
gro press.

TRADE SCHOOL?

Somebody has got it into his
head that a trade school IS need
ed in connection with our color
ed public schools. So intoxicated
have some of these promoters be-
come, till an evening was set
apart at the Bethel Literary to
impress the people of the neces-
sity for such a school. Among
the speakers on the program were
A. c.. Newman, W. Y. Tunnel,
\. T. Stuart, r. c. Bruce and
Mrs. Terrell.
If they don't know, The Bee
takes this opportunity of inform
ing them that any attempt to i'm
press Congress that trade school
is needed in the public schools
will be met with the protest of
the people. The Bee is surprised
at Superintendent Stuart and
Mrs. Terrell to allow themselves
to be associated with such a
monkey scheme as a trade school
in our public schools. This is one
of Bruce's pet schemes, and is a

The Bee Would Like to Know

What DR.. Lyon was thinking about
when he delivered his segregation
speech
If the Presidents Southern policy
will secure coiored votes for him in
1912
If a coiored District Republican IS
to receive recognition from the ad-
ministration
If the administration is not being
imposed upon by certain colored ad,
vIsOrs.
If It would not be wise for the Pres
ldent to consult a few independents.
Why people who write anonymous
letters don't disguise their handwrit-
ing.
If it IS not hard to disguise a we'll
regulated handwriting.
Why a person will write a SANDER
Gus letter against another Of his sex.
If some people don't convict them
selves after they have committed an
Offense.
If 1t is not the guilty who thinks
others are guilty.
If trade school is what the people
want.

STAFFORD
AND CHANDLER.

At the Sumner memorial meet
ing, held III the Fifteenth Street
Presbyterian Church Friday
evening, Jan. 6, there were two
distinguished men who delivered
speeches-Hon. WendaIl Phillips
Stafford, of the Supreme Court
of the District Of Columbia, and
ex-senator William Z. Chandler.
Justice Stafford said among
other things that the Negro
should never relinquish his rights,
under any circumstances. These
words are the utterance of a true
American, who believes in man
hood rights. This speech cannot
be too highly commented. 1t
should strike terror III the hearts
Of those who have surrendered
the rights of the colOred Ameri-
cans to the South. Oh, for more
Staffords. Oh, for more men who
have the courage of their cOnvic-
tiOns and dare to express to the
world the wrongs that are being
perpetrated upon a helpless and
weak race. Surrender our rights!
Why, never. When the cOlOred
Americans have such a man as
Justice Stafford to advocate man
hood rights, they need have no
fear.
Ex-senator Chandler is Of the
opinion that all will come right
IN due course of time. He, too,
believes that the constitutional
rights of the cOlOred man have
been taken from him, but time
alone will bring all things right.
Justice Stafford advocated con-
tentions for the return of all
constitutional rights Of all color
ed Americans. With such a man
upon our Supreme Court, instead
of an ex-Confederate Democrat,
and a Southerner at that, the
rights and liberties Of the cOlOred
man would be assured.
The Bee, IN the name of ten
millions of oppressed Americans,
Judge Stafford, extends to you
and ex-senator Chandler its ever
lasting gratitude.
The Washington bee., 1911-01-14
ABOLISH THE OFFICE.

Rather than have Roscoe c..
Bruce any longer the Assistant
Superintendent of the cOlored
schools-and it seems that it is
the desire of Superintendent
Stuart to reappoint him, against
the wishes of the people-a pc
titiOn is being circulated which
will be presented 20 Congress,
asking that the office be abolished.
If there ever was a man 50 much
disliked by the teachers and the
people of this city it is Roscoe {.
Bruce. The cOlored schools are
on the downward grade. They
are not what they used to be. If
there is not an immediate change
in the schools. Mr.. Stuart will
be held responsible for the bad
condition of the cOlOred schools.
ANY child can see that the col
Ored schools are in fearful con
.dition. How can man succeed
IN such a position with almost
every teacher against him! If
Bruce had been a success at Tus-
kegee DR.. Washington would
have never allowed him to leave.
Deliver The Bee from these so
called Harvard, Yale and Am
|herst graduates. Show The Bee
one that has been and is a sue
cess. The coIored schools are be-
inc filled with these ''hObOes."

well without a bottom to it. The
Armstrong Manual Training
School, with additional studies in
trade, IS all the trade school the
people want.
What we need most is a Busi-
ness High School. Bruce may ad-
vocate all the trade schools he
wants, but there is one consolation
The Bee has, and that is his oc-
,,cupation is about at an end. Mr.
Stuart may reappoint him, but
the next Congress will legislatt
him out of office. Let Bruce anC

THE PASSING SHOW"
This is the subject of an ad-
dress to be delivered by Mr.. Ed
ward E. Morris. of Chicago. Mr..
Morris is a polished speaker, and
an eloquent one at that. The
Passing Show" must be the pass
ING of the Negro Republican poll
ticians who will be extinct after
1912.
Speaking of the Passing
Show" reminds The Bee of the
Republican office holders-Other-
wise colored labOrers and messen-
gers at the Capitol.
The Hon. Champ Clark, the
next Speaker of the House, IS
amused to find so many colored
Democrats in the employment of
the House. He has been impOr-
tuned 50 much and been inform
ed by 50 many of the colored
brothers on the payroll of the
House. that he has been made to
wonder where 50 many cOlOred
Democrats came from.
Our friend, L. c. Moore, who
has never been anything but a
so-called Negro Democrat, has Il
list of the faithful Republicans
on the payroll of the House, who
will come under Mr.. Clark, and it
is the intention of Mr.. Moore to
hand to the Democratic Speaker
of the House and his dOOrkeeper
the history and pedigree of each
Of those Republicans who have
never had a kind word to say IN
favor of the colored independents.
1t will be a Passing Show" for
sure when the Democratic party
comes in and takes charge of the
House. 1t is no more than fair
that these faithful Republicans
should resign and give way to the
faithful cOIOred Democrats, who
are hungry for a job.
You should not fail to hear Mr..
Morris on the Passing Show"

PANAMA CELEBRATION.

The State of California IS al
ways in the lead in everything.
This State has presented the best
claim for the celebration of Pan
anna Canal completion. The State
of California is, beyond all doubt,
the best State in which to hold the
celebration. All citizens will be
respected and given the same con
sideratiOn.
Then, again, this State doesn't
ask the Government for a cent,
and why shouldn't the celebration
be held there! The people in the
far West are doing, and can do,
what no other section can do.
Every effort on the part of the
citizens Of the United States
should be exerted to carry the eel
ebration to California.
