Washington Bee

VOL. XXV. NO. 30. Garrison and Washington Compare It is amusing, if not maddening to see Booker T. Washington advising the celebration of commemoration of the great William Lloyd Garrison. Following the thread of Mr. Washington's counsel, one would think him the last man on earth to so advise. But outside pressure from sources like the Niagara Movement, Boston Suffrage League and a score of manly race journals has come so forcibly, till he has been little less than a self contradiction. He has done some singular "stunts." In The Guardian of Dec. 3, 1904, was printed the following: "The Boston Suffrage League held a lively and protracted meeting Tuesday night in the rooms of the Charles Sumner Republican Club at 634 Shawmut avenue, Rev. W. H. Scott of Woburn, vice-president, presided. W. M. Trotter was secretary of the meeting. A committee was appointed to secure data as to the school situation in the South, another to a memorial to Congress on the Crumpacker resolutions and another to take cognizance of the 100th birthday anniversary of William Lloyd Garrison, the abolitionist." The above is a part of the notes of that evening. Under section 1 of the by-laws of the Niagara Movement is the following: "The state committees shall arrange a memorial in honor of the friends of freedom in their respective states on Thanksgiving day in each year." There is the rub. Constitution and by-laws of the Movement all went before the country in the form of an address and was doubtless read by Mr. Washington in common with others. For him to counsel such a course after such recommendations to that effect had been crystalized looks like a bold blumerous effort to forestall the provisions of the Niagara Movement or to pluck fortune from his direct opponents. Why should Mr. Washington dare to commemorate this leader of leaders? In the life and lead of the two there never will be found the first jot of similarity. Garrison was a man of great spiritual morals, pointing heavenward all the time. The morals of Mr. Washington are grossly material, and point strictly to the earth. One fought the southern whites; the other plays into their hands. One used great plainness of speech the other is elusive and evasive. The doctrine of one abolished or crippled one of the greatest sins; the doctrine of the other means to heal the wounds dealt sin by Garrison. There is nothing in common between them. They differ like chalk and cheese, like earth and heaven. Let us turn on the light for a moment and see what resemblance, if any, there be between the two as leaders; one being for the race, the other of it. Washington: "Every revised constitution throughout the Southern States has put a premium upon intelligence, ownership of property, thrift and character." Emersing serfdom and disfranchisement of its own people. Garrison: "I will not sustain the constitution, because it is a warrant with death and an agreement with hell." This man, till the constitution was amended or slavery abolished, refused to vote under it, lest he pollute himself; the other refuses to vote lest he pollute politics. Washington: "Those are most truly free who have passed through the most discipline." Virtually condoning the lash, the rope, the torch, etc. Garrison: "I never degrade myself by debating the question—Is Slavery a Sin?" Washington: "Black men must distinguish between the freedom that is forced and the freedom that is the result of struggle and self-sacrifice." Thus discounting our freedom vouchsafed us by shedding of blood in battle. Garrison: "Wherever there is a human being, I see God-given rights inherent in that being, whatever the sex compulsion." Washington: "It was it so important whether the negro was the inferior car as whether there was that car a superior man not a beast." Here he excuses the humiliation to such the whole race is subjected throughout the South. vision: "Where I see the holder slave I charge the sin upon him ENOUCHCE him." Shington: "As is well known, I hat no people in the same economic education as the masses black people of the South should politics a matter of the first imace." Here again he minimizes ost sacred of all rights to which to any claim. From life John Henry Adams 1905 that Booker had no more right to be allowed to vote than the little black cocoanut-head, Joe, who blackened his boots every morning, he said no more than Mr. Washington says for himself. It is his greatest amusement to boast before white audiences that he never cast a ballot in his life. PURCHASE YOUR CHRISTMAS PRESENTS From Grogan, who is prepared to furnish all Washington.

A very able and instructive address was delivered by Lieut. Thos. H. R. Clarke, at the Lyceum of the Second Baptist Church, on last Sunday—subject "Modern Conversation"—Hon. Jno. P. Green presiding. The president in a glowing introductory presented the speaker as a ripe scholar, and one representing all that is highest and best in our generation of young colored men and of American manhood. Owing to Mr. Clark's broad learning and aesthetic training, he knew of no one more capable of discussing the subject than he. Lieut. Clarke began his subject by laying down the proposition that a man is as he thinks and not as he does or says. This is why we so often make mistakes in our judgment or estimate of men, in trying to arrive at their true characters we judge them by what they do or say. He thought there had been a decadence or ebb in conversational art. Two things are partly responsible for this—the spirit of haste, now invading our American colleges in trying to accomplish in two years what it has heretofore taken them four years to accomplish, and our cur- PROF. W. E. B. DUBOIS, S SCHOLAR AND LECTURER WHO CEMBER 29TH. rent newspapers. The commercial spirit which has taken hold of the people, is re-echoed through these newspapers and magazines until, in most cases, the people have gone commerce crazy, thus subordinating moral and aesthetic culture to financial gain, and, in most cases, to idle gossip and the latest scandal. It is no wonder then that we find a decadence in the conversational art. As Dr. Samuel Johnson would say, "these are subjects of great deal of talk; but no conversation." Our present generation is composed largely of talkers. The names of Sir Walter Raleigh, Dr. Samuel Johnson, Lord Bacon and Sir Richard Steele were mentioned as among the most fluent and brilliant of the old school of conversationalists, while among the newspaper men of modern times, of our own country, the names of the late Charles Danna, Horace Greedy, Theo, Tilton and F. Marion Crawford were given. There is not a paper now published in the United States which for purity of diction and aesthetic taste equals those published by these gentlemen. As a rule, people use as a subject for conversation about which they think most, the rich man thinks stocks, bonds and railroads; hence he talks stocks, bonds and railroads. And of the social contingent. A lively discussion followed the conclusion of the address, which was participated in by lawyer L. G. Gregory, Mr. A. H. Matthews, Prof. Jesse Lawson, Mr. Marshall and others. Lieut. Clarke paid a glowing tribute to the wisdom and example of the aged, whose counsel and experience he would have the younger generation seek. Dr. Kenyon V. Millard, of Indianapolis, who has been making some investigations along the Nile, in Egypt, has been engaged for next Sunday. Negro Ovation For Garrison Colored Citiesias Throng Faneuil Hall and Demonstration Recalls Great Meeting of January, 1863 Meeting of January, 1863. Once Immigration is Stopped, Says the Rev. Mr. Ransom, Result Will Come From Commingling of Blood. Boston Herald, Dec. 12, 1905. With a meeting of colored citizens of Greater Boston that rivaled in enthusiasm and surpasses in numbers the meeting which was held in January, 1863, when the emancipation proclamation was issued by President Lincoln, the celebration of the centennial anniversary of the birth of William Lloyd Garrison came to a close last night in Faneuil Hall. Long before the hour for the meeting to begin the hall was filled with a patient audience. The meetings of the forenoon and afternoon with their list of speakers and singers had drawn crowds; but it remained to the evening meeting to pack the hall to the doors, to crowd the aisles and to fill the galleries. Very few white people were in attendance. From the moment in hte morning when Mrs. Julia Ward Howe entered the hall and received an ovation, to the time when the centennial oration, delivered by the Rev. Reverdy C. Ransom From life John Henry Adams 1905 OWILL SPEAK AT THE METRO of the African Methodist Episcopal Church came to a close, the enthusiasm grew. Duty of Negro to Break down Social and Political Bars. "It is the duty of every negro," said Mr. Ransom, "to break down all those social and political barriers which interfere with his development. It is the duty of the negro to be true to his country, but when his country becomes a land of oppression to him, it is his duty to strike down the enemy within as well as without. "The negro—10,000 strong—now that he has been given freedom, will never be content to remain in a state of inferiority into which he has been plunged. He will refuse to camp on the confines of industrialism. He will insist not only on voting but on being voted for. He will resist, the laws aimed at his degradation as a human being. He will assert himself as a negro and as a man. "Once immigration is stopped and this nation is left to evolve its own destiny, a composite America will be formed. This nation will be one in purpose, one in destiny and one in the commingling of blood." Chairman Scott found it necessary to call upon the band to aid him in quelling the uproar that followed. March Over Route Taken by the Broadcloth Mob of 1835. The evening session began with a march at 7 o'clock over the route taken by the Broadeloth mob of 1835 when that body dragged Garrison through the streets. The line of march was down State street, through Devonshire to Dock square and back to Faneuil Hall, and was in charge of Captain George W. Braxton and led by company L of the 6th regiment, M. V. M.; members of Robert Bell Post, G. A. K.; the Robert Gould Shaw Veteran Association; the Peter Salem Garrison, Union Spanish War Veterans; the David Walker division 17 and E. N. Hallowell division 12, Knights of Pythias. At eight o'clock the Rev. W. H. Scott opened the meeting. The Rev. Dr. Harvey of the Morning Star Baptist Church offered prayer and afterward made his speech of welcome. Letters were read by W. M. Trotter from Maj. Wesley J. Furlong, Louis-A. Fisher, who sang at Mr. Garrison's funeral; S. M. Crollins, G. B. Leverett, Maj. Charles P. Bowditch, U. S. A., A. E. Estabrook, the Wendell Phillips Club, Fanny Garrison Villard, Wendell Phillips Garrison, Joseph K. Hays, Jr., and Secretary Loeb, replying to the invitation that was extended to President Roosevelt and regretting on behalf of the President that official business would make it impossible for him to attend. Mme. Nellie Brown Mitchell sang Kipling's "Recessional" and responded to an encore and William Stanley Braithwaite read the Centennial ode which he had written for the occasion. Charles H. Taylor read the salutatory of the Liberator. of the Liberator. After Miss Genevieve Lee sang "Grass and Roses," Capt. Charles Mitchell, who worked as a compositor on the Liberator with Garrison, told his knowledge of the man. Centenial Oration by the Rev. Reverdy Centennial Oration by the Rev. Reverdy C. Ronson The Rev. Reverdy C. Ransom then delivered the centennial oration. He said in part: "There is but one direction in which the negro should steadfastly look and but one path in which he should firmly plant his feet—that is toward the realization of complete manhood and equality, and the full justice that belongs to an American citizen clothed with all of his constitutional powers. "It is so marvelous as to be like a miracle of God, to behold the transformation that has taken place in the position of the negro in this land since William' Lloyd Garrison first saw the light a century ago. When the negro had no voice, Garrison pleaded his cause; tonight the descendants of the slave支 in Faneuil Hall, while from ocean to ocean every foot of American soil is dedicated to freedom. The negro American has found voice." John Hutchinson with his wife and son sang several songs of anti-slavery lays, and Mr. Hutchinson gave some war-time reminiscences. E. E. Brown spoke along the same line as Mr. Ransom. William Lloyd Garrison, Jr., who was with his wife on the platform, was he last speaker and spoke briefly. He said he was doing the best thing he do to perpetuate the memory of the occasion, as he had given the emancip- loyd Garrison to his hame William randson of year-old son. The great carrier William Lloyd Garrison of in- stal memory. HITS AT IMPERIALISM. Need of Fresh Effort to Have Garrison's Ideas Prevail Asserted this Afternoon. The afternoon session of the Garrison centennial celebration was well attended and the enthusiasm was great. While all the speakers paid tribute to Garrison and his great works, most of the took occasion to attack imperialism generally, and the sentiment of the meeting seemed to favor the raps at colonial policies. The need of present day Garrisons was emphasized, the story of William Lloyd Garrison's life told over and over, each speaker trying to throw new light on the character of the man and his principles. Many colored men and women spoke. After the invocation by the Rev. S. J. Comfort, Mark De Mortie, who acted as presiding officers at the emancipation proclamation meeting in Faneuil Hall in 1863, again took the duties of chairman of the meeting and delivered a short address. Secretary William M. Trotter of the Suffrage League read letters of regret from William H. Dupree, the Rev. Francis H. Rowley, N. P. Hallowell and ex-Gov. Brackett. The Rev. Charles G. Ames was the first speaker. He told the colored people there would be no help for them unless they helped themselves, practiced self-denial and made themselves solid against the injustice that was still their environment. Rabbi Charles Fleischer followed. In the course of his address said: the course of his address said: "In participating in this centenary celebration of a man whom we all delight to honor, let me speak to a text furnished by Garrison himself: 'I claim to be a human rights man,' that was a sentiment to be expected from the universalistic seer, who, in frenzy exclaimed: 'My country is the world; my countrymen are all mankind. Real superiority proves itself not in Continued on Editorial Page. Paragraphic News BY MISS BEATRIZ L. CHASE Charles B.

Shall Cremated Corpse Pay Same Rate for Carriage as Body in Coffin? Paris.—A curious case now before a French tribunal invokes a point which has not yet come up for legal settlement. A certain New York doctor, whose name thus far is withheld, recently accompanied a wealthy western American to Italy, where his patient after a lingering illness died. In order to avoid the trouble and formalities of carrying the body to the United States in a coffin the doctor on his own authority had the corpse cremated. The ashes were placed in a small urn, which was then packed carefully and shipped as ordinary freight on which he paid the usual tariff according to weight. The doctor landed on the American side all right, but the steamship company discovered his secret and demanded the price of carrying a dead body in a coffin, which amounts to nearly $150 more than the doctor paid for the urn's transportation. This he refused and the case must be decided at Paris, since it was at a French port that the urn was shipped. The impression here is that the company will lose the case. TO DUPLICATE EVERY GUN. Precaution That Is Deemed Necessary by the Naval General Washington.—Every gun in the navy have its duplicate to guard against any emergency and accident, if the recommendation of the naval chief of ordinance is carried out. The naval general board, it is believed, thoroughly approves of it, and consequently the naval estimates to go before the next congress may contain a formidable item to cover the cost of producing the new guns. Such accidents as have happened in recent years, particularly to the big turret guns of the battleships, would compel the ship to go into action in disabled condition or be laid up for months in a navy yard. The idea is to keep spare guns in stock at convenient points to immediately replace the damaged ones. Growth of Things Out West A correspondent of the Checotah (L. T.) Times, and for whose veracity that paper vouchers, tells the following: "The terrible news comes from the western part of the Cherokee Nation that a boy climbed a cornstalk to see how the corn was getting along, and now the corn is growing up faster than the boy can climb down. The boy is clear out of sight. Three men have undertaken to cut the stalk down with axes and save the boy from starvation, but it grows so fast that they can't back twice in the same place. The boy is living on nothing but raw corn and already has thrown down over four baskets of cobs." Decorated Chef King Edward's chef, M. Menuger, was among those to receive birthday honor on the occasion of his majesty's recent birthday. He is believed to be among the most accomplished chefs in the world. He was decorated with the Victorias medal. Other recipients of that distinction are understood to feel that in conferring the medal on a cook King Edward has rather cheapened the house.

All passenger trains of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad to and from New York City now have direct ferry connection with 23rd Street Terminal, in addition to Liberty Street; the South Ferry Terminal having been discontinued. Twenty-third Street is the most popular terminal of the great metropolis because of its convenience to the hotel, theatre and shopping district. In the recent remodeling of the terminal building a glass roofed canopy was constructed fifty feet wide, under which the cross-town cars of the 14th, 23rd, 26th and 29th Street lines, pass, so that passengers are protected from the weather leaving the ferry house, and also avoid the annoyance of street traffic. All baggage destined to New York City will be delivered to 23rd Street unless distinctly marked "Liberty Street," or otherwise. A complete electric cab service has also been established for the transportation of passengers and baggage at very reasonable rates. The importance of 23rd Street is most graphically brought to attention in the August number of the Book of the Royal Blue published by the passenger department of the Baltimore & Ohio, under the title "Into the Heart of Gotham." The interest centers within a mile radius of 23rd street, Fifth avenue and Broadway. Full page photographs of unusual detail present a most vivid picture of this most interesting locality.

Santa Monica, Cal.—Work has been commenced on an electric railroad from Santa Monica to Hueneme. The name of the new road is the Hueneme, Malibu & Port Los Angeles, of which corporation Mrs. May Rindge is president and H. W. Lemcke general manager. The company is capitalized at $1,000,000, and will have its offices in Santa Monica. The road follows the beach, and in Ventura county will connect with the Burson road for Ventura, and thence to Santa Barbara. Rails, rolling stock and equipment have been ordered to the east. Several hundred yards of track have already been laid and a force of 200 men will soon be at work. The line will be extended from Santa Monica to Los Angeles, and at the other end, after reaching Santa Barbara, it is expected it will be ultimately pushed on to San Francisco. The section of the road now building is the first part of what is proposed to be a beach trolley line from Los Angeles to San Francisco. Mrs. Rindge, whose name appears as the president of the company, is the widow of the late multi-millionaire Frederick H. Rindge, who initiated the enterprise. Rindge left an estate of $35,000,000, which fact guarantees the financial stability of the present undertaking. WILL MOVE THE TOWN. Steel Corporation Likely to Change Site of Sparta, Where Drills Have Been Working. Duluth, Minn.—It is probable that the village of Sparta, two and a half miles east of Eveleth. Mesaba Range, will have to be removed to a new location near the present site. The town, which has a population of 1,000 people, has met with the experiences of Eveleth in its earlier days. Iron ore has been found beneath the town site, and to mine it it will be necessary to remove the buildings. Diamond drilling has been in progress in the village, or close to it, for the last two years, and, while there is no official information as to the extent of the ore discoveries, it is the general understanding that the existence of large bodies of mineral has been proved. The exploratory work has been done by a steel corporation, which controls the mineral rights in the town site. The village was established eight or nine years ago, when the Genoa mine was opened. This property is still in commission, as are the Malta, Sparta and Pettit, in the same field. The Hobart mine is a new property being opened up near Sparta. DESIRE SANE LOVEMAKING. Logansport, Ind.—For the purpose of discouraging swains with a disposition to monopolize all their time and to encourage the habit of "breaking away" early, the Cupid Ten O'Clock club is waging a reform for sanity in lovemaking. Miss Florence Moore, the founder, is the president. She declared that two evenings a week was abundant opportunity for the prosecution of the most ardent suit, and believes that "no two young people can have anything so important to say that it cannot fully be discussed in a three hour call." Announcing in newspapers her intention to combat evils arising from too great familiarity before marriage, she called for enrolments in the new club, and declares it will revolutionize lovmaking in Logansport. She hopes to extend the idea throughout the state. Miss Moore is only 18 years old and is of a prominent old family.

These Features of Matrimony Grow Faster Than the Population Marries - Call Roosevelt The Philadelphia.-Official records show a steady increase in the number of divorces and in the number of desertion cases heard by the courts. The number of marriages increases in constant ratio with the increase in population, but the constant increase in desertibns and divorces is out of all proportion to both the increased population and the increased number of marriages. In the official year just ended there were 5,825 desertion cases disposed of in the criminal court by the department of the city solicitor. In an overwhelming majority of these cases the women appeared in court with upward of one child. Scores of heartrending cases were brought to the attention of the court, most of them being weakly pressed by poor, wan women—mothers of large families. In most cases the husband had run away, leaving unpaid bills for rent and medical attendance behind. The women, handicapped by children, could do no work outside their poor shelters, and most of them were in delicate condition at the time of their husband's disappearance. Day nurseries in all parts of the town have been forced to adopt a credit system to meet extreme cases, and all in all the sentiment among settlement workers and others who are in a position to know is that President Roosevelt is all wrong in his theory of race suicide. The tenement system as it prevails in New York and other large cities is almost entirely unknown here. Official statistics show that there is a dwelling house here for each group of five persons and that the number of houses is increasing at a rate greater than the population. Improved transportation facilities will carry the people further and further from the scene of their employment, and where this has happened experience here demonstrates the number of desertions increases. Labor authorities assert without contradiction that while the cost of living in Philadelphia has increased more than 20 per cent. within ten years, wages have increased less than eight per cent. Increased taxation has resulted in proportionately higher rents, and large families in fair circumstances suffer much from the system of graded schools, which compels one or two, or even three, members of a single family to ride 20 miles a day in street cars to attend the higher schools. This means, in hundreds of cases, 16 cents a day for each student, plus the cost of lunch in the center of the city. This tax, amounting to a dollar a day where three children attend the high school, is a burden upon the parents. To this tax must be added the big item of added expense due to the better clothing which must be worn by girls attending schools in the heart of the city, as against the poorer clothing which might well be worn to the school "just around the corner." It is more than 14 miles from the county line to any of the three high schools in the city. The greatest number of divorces granted in this county on any one day was 26. The greatest number of marriage licenses issued in any one day was 34. Landlords in Philadelphia do not inquire as to the number of children, except in the slum districts, where two and as many as four families try to occupy single rooms in ordinary threestory dwelling houses. ABOUT DISEASED LETTUCE. Government Expert Makes Interesting Experiments with the Hope of Eradicating Bad Methods. Washington.—Nearly all the winter lettuce in the United States has become diseased, as a result of "forcing" methods and of the failure of greenhouse gardeners to strengthen the stock of their plants by occasional crossing with wild lettuce. To remedy these evils Dr. Galloway, chief of the bureau of plant industry, has been working for two seasons, and he has succeeded in obtaining a crop of winter lettuce plants immune from disease, yet of large size and capable of developing as early as the most specialized winter lettuce. To do this involved a great deal of work and time and the sacrifice of thousands of plants. Seed of healthy winter lettuce was planted and when all was ready the plants were sown in beds of a thousand each, and out of each thousand heads two or three of the largest and best were taken, while the others were destroyed. From these extra large, early and fine heads another crop was raised, of which only the best were saved. It is from these that seed will be furnished to the greenhouse men of the great cities, thus saving the winter lettuce industry, which for three years has been threatened with extinction. Merciful Death Engine The new bullet now served to the French army is in massive bronze, pointed like a lead pencil, and shaped like a small cigar. It pierces at a distance of 400 meters six four inch caken-boards placed four inches apart, and is capable in the same flight of burying itself a yard deep in a clay target. It is counted the most humanitarian engine of death yet on the market because its speed and force in entering its man makes a clean wound, without microble complications from bits of clothing and without indiscriminate smashing of veins and organs. ENGLISH EXPLORERS WILL ATTEMPT LONG JOURNEY. Two New Expeditions Are Preparing to Start for Unexplored Regions London.-Sir Clements Markham has made some interesting comments on arctic exploration in discussing before the Royal Geographical society the plans of two new expeditions which are now preparing to start. Dr. A. H. Harrison, who has already received the diploma of the society, is the first in the field. He has made an attempt to reach Prince Patrick island and traverse part of the Beaufort sea in the hope of discovering land. Another aspirant is an enthusiastic young Dane, Elmar Mikkelsen. His intention is to ascend the Mackenzie river, meet a whaler by previous arrangement and, having established a depot at Prince Albert cape, he will, in the early spring, work westward for 400 miles and return southward to the mouth of the Mackenzie river, with the object of discovering land if it exists. "The discovery by Dr. Nansen of a polar ocean with a depth of 2,000 fathoms has lifted the veil from the arctic regions and made all things clear," said Sir Clements. "That this ocean extends to and beyond the pole is shown by convincing evidence. At the present time Beaufort sea is bounded by the Parry islands on the east and Alaska on the south and is the least known of the arctic regions and one which contains the most interesting geographical seas. Knowledge of the arctic region will remain very incomplete until this sea has been explored, and I would like to see the Discovery anchored in a secure harbor in Melville ground for two winters. "The vessel should be manned by British seamen, sufficient in number to form three extended sledging and three depot parties. This geographical achievement is properly the work of the government, but if Great Britain's rulers continue to neglect this duty, so deeply felt, and well performed of old, it must be advocated by the society." AD FINDS LOST DAUGHTER. Girl Missing for Twenty Years to Bejoin Her Anxious Father of Sayre, Pa: Sayre, Pa.—Printer's ink is responsible for C. R. Bennett, of Sayre, securing information regarding his daughter, who when he last saw her was a crying baby in her grandmother's arms, but is now in the full flush of womanhood. The daughter was born in Riegelsville, Pa., on November 22, 1883, and was baptized as Louise D. Bennett in the Episcopal church at Elater. Six months after her birth her mother died and the child was given into the keeping of the grandmother with the understanding that Bennett would be notified once a month as to her welfare. After two years the grandmother ceased writing Bennett. During all the intervening years he has yearned for his child and recently Rev. F. T. Cody, rector of the Church of the Redeemer, advertised in all the religious papers of the Episcopal church, saying that he had valuable information for Louise D. Bennett. She finally replied herself from the home of her uncle in Denver, Col., where she resides, financially independent, and now a reunion of father and daughter is being arranged. GOOD HOME FOR TERRAPIN Arcadie, La.—A peculiar rolle of old times was discovered on the Pentecost farm, near town, a few days ago, the discovery being a terrapin on the shell of which was cut the inscription "J. M. P., 1881." Fred W. Pentecost, who was exhibiting the curiosity to friends in town, stated that the inscription as cut by his brother, John M. Pentecost, on the date given, as the handwriting was plainly recognizable, and there could be no possibility of deception about it. Furthermore, the brother who cut the initials and date left this state soon afterward, and could not have done so in more recent years, not having been here. Fred Pentecost has a tender feeling for the old terrapin, and is keeping him at his own home now, and will care for his wants in his "old age." To Cut Price of Lilies The bureau of plants is engaged on a work which will reduce the price of Easter lilies. The bureau imported from the Philippines a lily resembling the common Easter lily. It bears only one flower to the plant, but develops in a remarkably short time. This lily has been crossed with the common Easter lily, resulting in a hybrid, bearing as many flowers as the old Bermuda lily, which will develop in four to five months. Urges Guinea Fowl Raising. According to a bulletin of the department of agriculture the growing market for gulena fowl suggests a more general breeding for food purposes in the United States. It is declared there is already a fair demand for them in New York and other eastern cities, which could easily be increased. The flesh is much like that of the ordinary chicken, and the birds are easily raised. DR. GORDON. Dr. John Gordon, President of Howard University, has tendered to the board of trustees, his resignation. The tendering of his resignation was the result of a revolt of the students and certain teachers against the authority of the president. The acceptance of his resignation will mean an indorsement of the violation of the rules of the University by a few students and teachers. Can the board of trustees encourage the unjust and unwarranted revolt of a few irresponsible students and teachers? If the resignation is accepted the doors of Howard University should be closed. No president, no authority vested in a president of an institution will amount to anything in the future. The mo-ent that an attempt is made to enforce the rules and maintain good order among any class of students or in any institution and a spirit of resentment is allowed to triumph, what will become of the reigning power? It is the duty of the trustees of Howard University under the circumstances to inform Dr. Gordon that his recitation will Gordon that his resignation will not be accepted and the disorderly element at the University be disciplined. Dr Gordon has done nothing more than to inaugurate certain necessary reforms. If he is right, which no one will deny, why then should he resign? The welfare of Howard University is above a disorderly element in the University. If Dr. Gordon's resignation is accepted, the country will conclude that the walk-out of one hundred students was justifiable. Dr. Gordon's side has not been heard. Because a man is removed as a collector or agent for the University, is it just and proper that he should be encouraged in his attack up the president of the University? The trustees should carefully look into all the circumstances of this recent uprising before Dr. Gordon's resignation is accepted. Our information is that a student in the University, we are concerned, we shall not be a nephew of one of the disturbing element, went from student to student and asked that a petition be signed against Dr. Gordon. Ought not the investigating committee summon each and every student before it and ask what he knows of the administration of Dr. Gordon and ascertain who presented the petition to him to sign? It seems to us that this would be the right thing to do. Dr. Gordon has committed no offense. It is the disturbing element at the University that needs to be disciplined. Remove the disturbers and then there will be no more trouble at the University. There is a selfish and personal motive behind it all. Those who will attempt to destroy will not build up. In a communication to the Bee this week, we are charged with inconsistency; in, that some time ago we condemned a speech delivered by Mr. Justice Robert H. Terrell before the National Business League, held in the city of New York and now we defend him, when there is a possibility of his removal from office. It is true, we did criticise the speech of Mr. Terrell and thought that he was unwise in attacking the servant class and other colored people in this city. The same opinion we had then we have now. But, when a charge of dishonesty in business is hade against him by virtue of his association or connection with the defunct Capital Savings Bank, we say that is wrong, and so far as we are concerned, we shall not be a party to it. We do say, perhaps there were some dishonest men connected with the Capital Savings Bank, who were benefitted by its failure, but has it been shown that Mr. Terrell was in any way dishonest? Some few days ago, or when it was published that Mr. Terrell's confirmation was field up by the senate, quite a number of colored lawyers regretted the incident and went so far as to send letters to the senate committee and when they were informed that Mr. Terrell had employed white council, they regretted their so-called manifest interest. To some extent Mr. Terrell is right. It is his privilege to employ white counsel if he so desires and it is no one's business. Some negro lawyers are uncertain and to a great extent, they mistrust each other. It has been but a few weeks ago when a number of negro attorneys were seated in the Police Court and heard a white woman testify to a certain incident and when they were called upon to testify they declared they never heard it. This is the class of negro lawyers who are now opposed to Mr. Terrell because he employed white counsel. Then again, there are men behind this fight, well known to The Bee, who hope to be benefitted if Mr. Terrell is defeated. The Bee has nothing to say against Dr. J. N. Johnson, who filed the charges against Mr. Terrell. Dr. Johnson is a fearless race advocate. The Bee will not say that he is right or wrong, but The Bee will say that Mr. Terrell is not guilty of any wrong doings in connection with the Capital Savings Bank. The Bee has maintained from the very beginning that he was one among the few men who is not guilty of any wrong in connection, with the defunct bank. If he is opposed because of his speech against the servant classes in this city. The Bee will be with the opposition because in that speech Mr. Terrell reflected on a large number of worthy people. But this is not the secret of the opposition. It is personal and behind it is a motive that The Bee cannot endorse. Why has the opposition waited so long? It had the same privilege to file these charges four years ago. In the opinion of the Bee there is only one mistake Mr. Terrell made and that was his New York speech. If the negroes believed that that speech is sufficient grounds for his removal for his connection with the Capital Savings Bank, why is it that these same negroes appeal to the commissioner to retain a man in office who has been tried and convicted of more serious offenses? The peculiarities of the negro are most remarkable and their inconsistencies are hard to understand. DISPROVE IT. There are certain ways to disprove crimes and alter offenses. One's conduct will often convict him of the offense charged against him. A gentleman is respected no matter where he goes. The white man claims that the negro is ignorant and impudent. That he doesn't appreciate what is done for him. Now to some extent this is true. But, it must be remembered that the colored people are not all alike and the white man knows it. There are appreciative colored people in the country who know their friends. The sensible white man will appreciate an industrious person, no matter what his color may be. The negro is the same in every state to some extent. The Southern colored man is leaving the farmers and rushing into the cities. This is wrong. The pulpit in this re- gard is not doing its duty. All the pulpit is thinking of today is graft. The negro minister is craving for money. He wants a big salary no matter how poor his congregation is. The negro must cease begging and going from door to door with hat in hand. He must show a more independent spirit. Now how is the colored man to disprove the charges against him? In this city it is gratifying to see the business enterprises that have been started by the colored people. They no longer depend upon drug stores that discriminate against them. They have their own ice cream parlors, restaurants, dining saloons, lawyers, doctors, builders and other necessaries. They want their own theatres, which is necessary in an intelligent community. The second class theatres ("Jim Crow") the colored people will not have to tolerate when we can do for ourselves and will not have to be asking the white man to do for us. We shall then disprove the charges continually made against us. We have a class of colored people in this city who have been trying to get away from another class since Emancipation. No truer utterance was made than that of Attorney Grites B. Jackson in a recent speech before the local business league. of this city when he said that the white people could not persuade the negro to get together so they forced them together by "Jim Crowism." And this is true, no matter how much one negro thigs that he is better than the other, all must ride together when they are "Jim Crowing" it. Let us do what is right and disprove the change. THE TEACHERS' SALARY. The action of the Board of Commissioners in recommending to Congress an increase in the teachers' pay is a commendable act. If there ever were public servants who deserve good pay and good treatment and financial consideration we are of the opinion that they are the teachers in the public schools. Year in and year out these faithful educators of the youth work incessantly. They are never paid what they deserve. The gentlemen from Vermont, Mr. Faster is of the opinion that colored educators should be subordinated and receive less pay for the same work. Our colored teachers are entitled to the same pay as the white teachers. The commissioners of the District will please accept the thanks of the teachers. ALL BOSTON TURNS OUT. The greatest and most imposing Garrison meeting held in the United States was held in Boston, Mass. December 10th, under the auspices of the Boston Suffrage League and the Niagara Movement. Editor W. M. Trotter of the Boston Guardian is entitled to much credit for the success of this monster meeting. All Boston responded to the call of the great New England editor. Elsewhere will be seen a report of the meetings as they were reported in the Boston Herald. The Catholic Church has more power in this country and administration circles than all the other church denominations combined. The Catholic Church is a power and when it speaks presidents obey. The Catholic Church is a power, because it is united. The members obey the rules of the church and are united as a people. The Catholic Church is a representative force. The persecuted Jews of Russia command more consideration in the American body politic than the natural born American negro. The reason that the negro American politician is a failure, is because he is too busy attending to other peoples business and not his own. He follows the shadow and doesn't seek the substance. He is influenced by sentiment and not reason and he exists on promises of political demogogies. To be a force he must seek the substance; be persuaded by reason and not promises and when it is to his best interest. As a politician, the negro is a failure. He is a failure because there is no unity of interest and gain he depends on the white mar for official recognition. He has no representative force which will enable him to demand official consideration. He cannot support the Democrat party under existing conditions, because, had he embraced past political opportunities and not permitted himself to be isolated from those whom he considered to be his enemies, his condition today would be a force which would command respect. He has allowed the pretended friends in the Republican party to use him to his detriment. There are republicans in office more inimical to his interest than the democrats. The white republican politicians have been dangerous instruments in the great body politic. The colored politician is no wanted today. The present administration does not consult him and neither is he taken in the counsels of the party to discuss party measures. There is only one man consulted relative to the merits and demerits of the so-called representative negro. This man is so narrow that he disregards merit and selects men who do not represent the masses of the people, but, only his pet theory—industrialism. When ten millions or more negroes are without a representative of their own choice, who is in touch with the administration, we believe the time has come for the negro politician to seek some other occupation. When such men as Lyons, Dancy, Pinchback and a few others must dance addendance to a self-constituted leader, who is no more than an apologist and timmer. The Lee thinks that the ten millions or more colored men in this country should migrate to a swamp and dip water from around weeds and bushes. The colored politician is afraid to go to the White House and state his grievances. Every nationality is wisely considered in every political equation, except the negro. OUR CALENDAR. The readers of The Bee will see a beautiful illustrated calendar for the year of 1906. It is the prettiest and most complete that has ever been published. AN UNFAVORABLE IMPRESSION DR.C.B.PURVIS SPEAKS, Boston, Mass., Dec. 19, 1904. Mr. W. Calvin Chase: I have just read The Bee. Your Editorial on Free,ident Gordon and the University is strong and timely. You state the case correctly. A few selfish men desfroy the institution, ifby so doing their purposes would be conserved. The foolish students have been used as tools. They have succeeded in creating an unfavorable impress-ion among the well disposed Northern people. NEW SONG'S PRESENTATION. The Vandersloot's "Just At the Break of Day" a Super Composition of Day" a Superb Composition. Prior to the lecture by Mr. Collins, at the Pine Street Methodist Church, a trio compo-ed of John Vandersloot and his sisters, Misses Sue and Rola, sang "Just at the Break of Day," at late publication by the Vander-loot Music company, and doubtless one of the most expressive songs heard in this city in many years. Beside being a recital of an incident that appeals to sympathy, the author, Harry J. Lincoln, has caught the spirit of patriotic pathos that clings to the human heart and entwines itself in one's memory like the lingering echo of some sad, sweet story. And the rhythm, too, appealing to the car like the melody of a cadence born of joy, leads one from pleasure to ecstatic bliss—and one wishes, when the song is done that it might go on forever. It is of interest to know something of the history of the new song, a touch of which is given, in a letter from Mr. Lincoln, the author, to the Vandersloot company, in which he says: "Gentlemen—I beg to acknowledge receipt of your check in full to date and for which please accept many thanks. It will no doubt interest you to know what others think of my latest effort—"Just at the Break Of Day," I was offered $2,500 for all my right, title and interest in the song, but flatly refused the offer. I consider it the best thing I have ever written and am confident that with your push and energy, it will become one of the greatest song hifts of the year." hatreu and contempt, in an ever-widening spiral of sympathy and love. The more one can include the more human one is. The grown-up man says naturally: 'I think nothing human foreign to me. Even the rights of Russia are dear to me, whose fellow-Jews are being treated atrociously by other Russians. B. R. Wilson gave his place on the program to Mrs. Fanny Garrison Villard of New York, the daughter of William Lloyd Garrison, who spoke briefly. Moorefield Storey, president of the Anti-Imperialist League, delivered the next address and said in part: Reaction Against Garrison's Ideal, Says "This celebration comes at a fortunate hour. We are passing through a reaction against the great principles of freedom and equal rights to advance which Mr. Garrison devoted his life, and we need assured faith. We need to be reminded how much can be accomplished in a good cause by courage, persistence and unwavering devotion against odds which seem to be overwhelming—how certain is the triumph of right. "Our task as compared with Garrison's, is easy. We have seen slavery overthrown. We have learned that all the strong forces once enlisted in its support were unable to keep 4,000,000 of men as slaves. Can we believe for a moment that any force can keep 10,000,000 of freemen down in a country where everything that they see and everything that they hear strengthens the impulse to rise which is planted in the breast of every human being at his birth?" The Hon. A. E. Pillsbury, who followed Mr. Story, said in part: 'The work that Garrison began is not yet done. It must be done by agitation, with fire kindled at the same altar. It must be done by the black man himself. 'Who would be free, themselves must strike the blow.' If the colored race will stand together, sinking all jealousies and differences in a resolute and unceasing demand for the impartial enforcement of the laws, giving the country no rest until there is but one rule alike for white and black over every foot of soil, there can be no doubt of the result." Miss Pauline Hopkins of North Cambridge, the only woman speaker, said it was the proudest moment of her life the moment when she could stand upon the historic platform and speak in eulogy of a great benefactor of the human race. She proceeded: "We call these men or women 'extraordinary-mortals' because they possess in the highest degree that essence of the spirit of God that was breathed into Adam at creation. Such a man was the immortal William Lloyd Garrison. "He was accused of the deadly sin of loving the blacks because they were black. This was not true. Mr. Garrison loved the unsullied honor of the Union, and desired the prosperity of the entire country." The Mendelsohn quartette sang "The Voice of Peace." The venerable John W. Hutchinson of Lynn then sang the old anti-slavery song, "Countrymen, Awake," while the collection was being taken. In a fiery speech full of suggestions and inferences based on present day conditions, Edwin D. Meade, prayed for another Garri-on. The Rev. A. A. Berle of Salem said he refused to consider a race of men as an issue, but as citizens His plea for industrial freedom elucted great enthusiasm. Ex-Representative William L. Reed followed. Professor Albert B. Hart of Harvard University told of Garrison's power to penetrate the arguments of his opponents. Henry B. Blackwell contributed personal reminiscences of Garrison whie' were keenly relished. E. H. Clement said he desired to put in a word of caution against falling into the tone of self-Complacency over Garrison's vast achievement, as though it were something we had done or were emulating. "My point is," he said, "that we have no business with the glory of William Lloyd Garrison today if we have none of his spirit." George G. Bradford spoke of present day indication, in the form of action against "Jim Crow" sentiment and otherwise, that there are still men of Garrison ideas in our midst. As letter from Walter Allen of Boston, who unable to address the meeting on account of ill health, was read. DIRE DISASTERS PREDICTED Alleged Prophet Foresees Trouble Gallore for 1906. An alleged prophet named Spangler furnishes the following prophecies for 1906: A destructive eruption of Mount Vesuvius. The eruption of many volcanos now supposed to be extinct. Earthquakes in all parts of the world. Destructive earthquakes in California and the Phillippines. Rebellion in Spain. Spangler says further that the summer of 1906 will be hot and sultry throughout the temperate zone, with extensive death rate. That Christ will make the spirit felt among the peoples of the United States and England, in which countries there are to be fervent religious and potent political movements which are to overcome in a great degree the present spirit of graft and commercialism. That the United States will continue as a world power and the leader of other nations. That Pennsylvania is to have an administration of the people and that discoveries of corruption will be made which will drive some of he guilty to suicide. That God will wreak terrible vengeance upon the Russians for the massacre of the Jews. JUSTICE TERRELL. CONFIRMED The committee that had under consideration the charges filed against Justice R. H. Terrell, reported his name favorably to the senate last. Tuesday afternoon and he was confirmed. The Bee had foreshadowed favorable action of the senate.

Donovan ```markdown ``` is unequalled. This house is known to have the purest and best whiskies in the market. His excellent selections are made with care. The patron's health is more important than anything else, hence W. J. Donovan makes it a business to purchase the purest and the best wines and liquors the market affords. HIS COLUMBIA CLUB.
