exceptionally good judge, and has CIV

ton to our people. He has been mer-

Aided the Negro EIks.
Judge Bardwell was delegate to
the Grand Lodge of the white Elks,
when the question of rights of Ne
groes to form lodges and use emblems
of the white Elks" was an important
issue. He had an interview with the
Star, which was published long ago,
and was active in bringing about the
present harmony between the Grand
Lodges, and the matter is-after cer-
tain adjustments---a closed incident.
We need judges who are merciful, just,
intelligent and impartial. Winnifred

standard. Remember, "Bardwell for

A REAL FRIEND

Mr.. Albert E. Edwards, veteran of
the Spanish-American war, is true
friend of our race, and has demon
strated his interest in us in many
ways. He has accorded them every
privilege and courtesy as comrades;
also shown his respect for them in
civil life. 1t is Commander Edwards
who attends the wants and funerals
of the Negro veterans. He was in
strumental in placing headstone at
the grave Of one of the heroes Of San
Juan Hill, the late David F. Buckner.
We are forced to mention this to many,
who will know nothing about this man,
who is a candidate for Court Commis-
sioner. If elected he will have to pass
on the sanity Of many persons of our
race. Let us have q man who feels
kindly toward our people. Vote for

UNCLE SAM Is CALLING
FOR YOUR
FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN
ANSWER WITH CASH AND
CONFIDENCE. HERE IT Is.
coLoRED APPLICANTS REJECTED

The Bee desires to emphasize it's
protest against the wholesale discrim-
ination in the Government depart
ments against colored applicants who
have successfully passed the civil
service examination. What does 1t
mean? The Bee again asks. The col
ored Americans are loyal to this Gov
ernment and they are doing every
thing in their power to aid the Ad-
ministration in the successful prose-
cution Of this war. What offense can
be charged against colored Ameri-
cams? The Bee asks again. The bars
have been lifted 80 that a certain IA
Vored class can pass muster without
an examination, while another class
is compelled to enter examination and
after passing successfully Is rejected.
What does it mean? A declaration
has been reported to this office to the
effect that no colored people will be
appointed by this particular official.
In response to the request made by
The Bee last week, many persons
have announced that they have been
necessary that every colored person
who has been rejected send in his or
her name at once. These names will
be presented to the proper heads at
once.
Advertisements are being published
of clerks and other employees for war
work. Hundreds Of colored Americans
have applied and been rejected, and
white ones cannot be obtained. Mes
senger boys have been advertised for
and colored people have applied, only
to be refused. Is the assistance Of
colored Americans needed? If SO,
they are willing and ready to respond
to their country's call.
II they are needed, and the Govern
ment is in need of help, why reject
colored applicants? Show one black
traitor in the ranks of colored Amer
leans and The Bee will show you one
million loyal colored Americans to one
black traitor. The Bee appeals to the
President of the United States to di.
rect the heads of his departments to
lift the bars of discrimination against
the colored Americans. They are
competent and loyal. Then why re-
ject them?
Every. Southern railroad discrimi-
mates against the colored people with
out q just cause. They are treated az
cattle when riding South. They are
directed to box car with no con-
veniences. Does the colored Amer
lean deserve such treatment? Mr..
I President, we are with you, and, in
( the name Of God. see that we are
given q fair deal.-The Washington
