ESTABLISHED 1880.
HENRY LINCOLN JOHNSON

There IS no man in this country
who is any more fearless and in
dependent in defending his people
than Recorder of Deeds Henry
Lincoln Johnson. On the front
page of The Bee this week a rep
resentative had an interview with
him concerning his recent. visit to
Atlanta, Ga, and the great speech
that he delivered to the Republican
delegates of all COlors that met to
elect delegates at large. The At
lanta Constitution published what
Recorder Johnson didn't say, and
certain papers, edited by colored
men, before investigating the truth
fulness of the alleged speech, criti-
cised and condemned him. The
Bee has known Recorder Johnson
for a number of years, and it has
never known him to back water or
to repudiate a truthful utterance
that he ever made. He IS not that
kind of a man. He is not man
to deny his race or say a thing that
would in the least degree Compro-
mise his people The interview with
The Bee is manly, and any man
with a grain Of manhood and fair
play will say that Mr. Johnson is a
man. When he was asked to be-
tray the administration he was one
man to break with his best friend,
and for any newspaper to de-
nOunce and publish untruths about
him IS Cowardly and unfair. He
frankly states to The Bee represen-
tative what he said in that Atlanta
speech. Why is this man denounc-
ed any way? What has he done
He has succeeded in doing what his
critics cannot do or will ever do.
In politics he is head and front
above any of his competitors. Is
it because he has succeeded? Is
that green eyed monster so deeply
buried into the hearts of his enc
mics that they are not fair or Just
enough to give him credit for the
successful fight he made in his State
and the victory that he achieved !?
He can be relied upon to do his
duty towards his people. His rec
ord as Recorded of Deeds for this
city IS above reproach. He COM
mands the respect of the entire bar,
irrespective of color, religion or
political creed. He knows his bus
mess and he fearleSslv executes it.
The Bee has the highest respect for
its contemporary, the New York
Age, but its attack and criticisms
are unfair. Mr., Johnson is not a
man to take advantage OF any man.
He is open in criticism of public
men and measures. He doeSn't t
pick his men any more than the
Editor of The Bee. He is honest
and outsPoken. and today the en-
tire State Of Georgia respects him,
irrespective OF party. Every Judge
in his State honOrs him, and the
country at large respects him. He
has over six hundred thousand
Odd Fellows in this country behind
him, which was fully demonstrated
at the last meeting of the B. NJ. c.
of that organization that met in
Baltimore, Md, about a year ago.
Mr.. Johnson has won what laurels
he possesses by merit. richly de
served.
Our contemporary, the Age,
ought to be manly and make the
amend honorable by saying to the
world that it has wronged an in
nocent and good man. He never
retreats nor does he play the cow
ard. As The Bee has often said,
and does say, he is one of the
"noblest Romans Of them all, a
leader indeed and in fact

THE COLONEL WANTS ILLINOIS
DELIVERS IMPORTANT SPEECH
IN SPRINGFIELD.
Expected Address Will Have Material
Effect on Outcome of
Campaign.

Pittsburg, April Son his way to
Chicago to throw himself into the
fight for the Illinois delegation to the
Republican national convention, Col
onel Roosevelt passed through Pitts
burg on his train, an hour and a half
late.
The colonel spent most of the day
in preparing the speech which he is
to deliver at Springfield. This is to
be the principal speech of his cam
paign in Illinois, the result of which
it is expected, will have a material
bearing upon the outcome of the cam
paign.
A large crowd in the public square
in Martinsburg, w. Va, heard the
former presidents appeal for support
at the county convention to be held
in Martinsburg.
It was Colonel Roosevelt's intention
to rest as much as possible and make
no speeches from the train, but at a
| few points the crowds at the station
were so insistent that he spoke lor a
| few minutes. His first speech OF this
| nature was at Keyser, w. Va. At
| Cumberland, Nd, he made a speech
on the way to Martinsburg, and again
q few hours later, when he passed
through on the return trip. At Con
nelsville, Pa, Mckeesport and Brad
| dock, large crowds were waiting for
him.
You don't help people to get for
ward and up through the professional
politicians" he said, at Connelsville.
what the professional politician is
| concerned with is holding his job.
Therefore I want the real rule of the
people"
Speeches in Illinois will be made at
Rockford, Freeport, and Springfield, in
| addition to which the colonel probably
will talk for a few minutes wherever
crowds gather at the stations. He
is to remain in Springfield over Sun
! day, and on Monday will speak at
Clinton, Decatur, Monticello, Cham
paign and Danviile.

Santiago, Cuba, April 8.-Secretary
of State Knox arrived here on the
United States gunboat Eagle from
Guantanamo. At the request of Mr..
Knox, who desires his visit to be con-
sidered an unofficial one, especially
in view of this being holy week, no
functions had been arranged for his
entertainment. The secretary and his
party, therefore, spent the afternoon
sightseeing and visiting points of in
terest in and around Santiago.
Mr.. Knox boarded the cruiser
Washington again and sailed for
Kingston, Jamaica.
Contrary to the wishes of the Amer
lean secretary his arrival here took
on somewhat Of an official character,
for he was met at the pier and well
coined by Ross E. Holiday, the
American consul, the governor of the
province of Oricnte, the commander
of the rural guard, the mayor and city

tives of the chamber of commerce,

of cavalry escorted the secretary to
the hotel and officers of the rural
guard were stationed there to attend
him.

THE PEEWsH CHILD
NEEDS TREATMENT

When a child sulks drowsily, or is
f%retful, it is usually due to some slight
disorder of the digestive organs, and a
mild laxative is very often all that is
necessary to restore cheerfulness and
buoyancy of spirits.
IN cases where the use Of a gentle,
effective laxative stimuiant is indi-
Gated, many of the best physicians are
now prescribing DR.. Caidwell's Syrup
Pepsin. This preparation is admitted
~ the perfect laxative, being mild, yet
positive in its action on the bowels,
and far preferable to violent cathart-
les and purgative waters. 1t is very
pleasant to the taste and is an ideal
remedy to regulate and strengthen the
stomach, liver and bowels. is easy,
natural action makes it especially de-
sirable in the case of children, a dose
at bedtime being sure to have the de-
sired result next morning, with no at
tendant unp~leasantness or discomfort.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is sold
by druggists everywhere in SOC and
$1.0O bottles. If you have never tried
this splendid remedy, write to DR.. W.
B. Caldwell, POI Washington St., Mon
ticello, ILL.,, for a sample. He will be

that her second husband might de-
scend in safety?"

widow on the blustery March morning
who entered her drawing room to find
that the wind had overturned the vase
