There is no doubt that if the Roose-

delegation that William Allen White
the EmpOria editor, will be elected ma
tonal committeeman from Kansas in
place of Dave Mulvane. Mr.. White
stated when the Roosevelt club wanted
to endorse him for the place that he
would get in the fight at the state con-
Vention. He did not want the club to
endorse him. He wanted the club to
stick to the Roosevelt proposition and
cut all side issues.

Johnson, and only regrets that Mr..
Johnson did not break with him
sooner. In the exclusive Navy
Department, presided over by Mr..
Geo. Won Meyer, a colored man
has just about as much show for
4 square deal as lump of ice
would have TO retain its frigidity in
the realms of his Satanic Majesty,
and in the War Department, over
which d Southern Democrat at first
presided, there has been the same
prejudice against recognition for
the race. In the State Department
the policy has been to keep the few
Colored Consuls in the service ma
rooned III the unhealthy tropics,
and without hope of promotion.
In the Agricultural and Interior
Departments a cOlored man finds
little or no encouragement what
ever, and in the Department OF
Commerce and Labor he has been
completely overlooked. The Treas
ury and Department of Justice are
the only two departments in this
government where the race has
been given anything like a fair
show and a square deal. We do
not hold President Taft response

cabinet officers to treat us fair. for
The Bee knows that the President ;
attention has not been called to it

much for the race, and ne would
have done more if his cabinet off

pear that they are the reeal its,
they get an hour or day off toI
appear in court to be associated
with some white lawyer. Speaking
of white lawyers, there are a few
colored LAWYERS at the bar who
never 90 in court without having
a white member OF the bar as their
guardian. Not associate, but guar
dian. 1t is amusing to see a Ne
gro attorney IN court associated
with a white member Of the bar
as his guardian You have no idea
what the comments are. There IS
one conclusion to which spectators
can arrive. and that IS. the Colored
LAWYER must have a white man as
sociated with him. 1t IS not al
ways the cOlored lawyers fault.
His clients very often insist on his
having a white lawyer associated
with him. In many other instances,
| there are a few colored LAWYERS
who are afraid to so in court with
out the association Of a white law
yer. To some colOred people any
kind Of white lawyer will suit them
This largely obtains among the
more intelligent, and educated
classes of colored people. You
would suppose that the ignorant
classes would want a white law
yer, This IS not so. The "diky
Negroes" Lawyer Scott says. are
a menace to any profession. This
class of Negroes have the highest
reverance for the white lawyer, no
matter what he can do. Whenever
you see a Negro with a white law
yer, YOU Just as we'll come to the
conclusion that he has no faith in

BARRIERS, who shave white men and
cater TO white patrons, will never
employ a colored lawyer if they
can prevent it. The Negro barber
who caters TO others belongs to this
sundoWn class.

AN ENTERPRISING FIRM

1t IS with pleasure that this news
paper bestoWs praise upon that en-
terprising firm OF Board & Nc
Guire. whose splendid business ca
pacity, far-sightedness and race
pride has given the city and the
race one more finely equipped and
up-to-date pharmacy. There is not
in the city two gentlemen more
courteous, and more attentive to
their business and their profession
than DrS. Board and Mcclure.
The large patronage they enjoy is
Justly due them from the race.
incidentally, we might add, the
pharmacy business, as conducted
by members of our race in this city,
is on a very high plane In no
other city in the country will you
find drug stores, conducted by col
ored men or women, the equal of
those in this city. and in no other
city will YOU find drug stores whose
pharmacists are the equal of ours
in professional ability. And when
it is remembered that practically
ali of our colored pharmacists, if
not all, are the products OF How
ard University, that splendid insti-
tuition is, without hesitation. Shov-
ed in the front rank Of educational
institutions. Messrs. Board and
Mcclure have contributed much to
add to the fame Of their alma
mater. If there is a single Criti-
cism that might be offered against
this firm if is that the seeniOr mem.
Der. DR.. Board. should continue to
make himself believe that the life
of bachelor is happy one. How
ever, as this Is leap year, there IS
a bare possibility that before the
year is rounded out this one posi-
BILE criticism may be removed, thus
making the firm of Board & Nc
Guire beyond any criticism what
ever.

STANDING BY LEWIS.

No colored man in this country
can help but admire, and applaud
Attorney General Wickershom for
the stand he took, and the defense
he made for VIM. II. Lewis against
! the executive committee of the
American Bar Association. 1t has
been many a day since d cabinet
officer, or any government official,
has so courageously defended one
, OF our race against discrimination
and injustice that had been
prompted by that members color
alone. The men who attempted to
ouSt Mr.. Lewis from the American
Bar Association, after he had been
duly elected, are his interiors both
i'll mentality and manhood. and no
one knows this better than Attor-
ney General Wickersham. In
praiSing Attorney General Wicker
sham for his Splendid, courageous
stand taken for Mr.. Lewis, we can
not help but bestoW praise upon
President Taft, a part of whose ad-
ministration the Attorney General
IS. 1t is quite evident that Mr..
WiCkerSham must have had the
President sanction in the stand
that he took, and it Is quite evi-
dent, since President Taft ap-
pointed Mr.. Lewis to the high Of
flee he holds, that President Taft is
for justice for the race along every
line. The colored man who, after
this defense OF a member OF the
race. will now withhold his sup
port from Attorney General Wick
ersham, or for a few pieces OF
tainted money be bribed into op-
posing President TAFT, Is undeserv-
ing OF recognition from other
members OF the race. This Lewis
incident, following so closely upon
the refusal of the President to ap-I
point Judge Hook to the Supreme
Court because OF a most OdiOuS
decision rendered against the race.
is the best possible proof that Pres
ident TAFT IS, and means to be a
true friend, d helpful friend of the
race. And the refusal of Presi-
dent TAFT to appoint Judge Hook,
because OF the protests Of colored
American citizens, a thing no 9th
er President before him ever did,
confirms the statement made by
President TAFT three years ago to.
the effect that when his term had
been completed the race would find
that he had been a true. a stanCh
and the most helpful friend. And
President Taft'S achievements
prompts desire and hope for
his denomination and election.
