THE BEE WASHINGTON VOL. XXIX NO16 The Negro Defended JUDGE TAFT'S MANLY SPEECH Lynching Denounced and the Right: of Colored Americans Uphield.... They Must Win Their Way.... Industrial and Higher.... Education. Cincinnati, O. September 16.— The brave, manly, clean-cut and outspoken address of Judge William Howard Taft to the colored ministers at Cincinnati on Tuesday evening has heartened his colored adherents beyond measure. Although the utterance ery of Congress. It will be settled of the candidate on the rights of the Negro in his speech of acceptance left no doubt in the mind of most people as to where he stood on the question nearest to the Afro-American heart, the Cincinnati deliverance took up the specific problems in a more amplified way and clinched the more firmly the sentiments of sympathy with, and approval of, Negro progress that had gone before. In language-marked by unusual directness and force, Judge Taft took occasion to reiterate its heartfelt interest in the uplift of the Negro race, inherited from abolition parentage, nurtured from boyhood, and stimu'ated through his experience with the dark-skinned people in the Philippines. He reviewed the struggles of the race from the time of slavery, and found infinite satisfaction in the marvelous progress it had made in education, commerce and in agricultural and industrial pursuits. He extolled the value of education of ever kind, and while he felt that the training most needed b ythe masses at this time lay along the agricultural and industrial line, this elementary and rudimentary education should be supplemented by higher education for those of larger capacity and more liberal opportunities to furnish well-rounded ministers, doctors, lawyers and the special callings. He added significantly and with engaging frankness: "I have not always believed in the higher education for members of the Negro race, because of alack of opportunity to study the whole subject in more than a perfunctory way, but, after a full consideration of the needs of the race, in the light of his demonstrated possibilities and splendid achievements, I am convinced that I was in error. A race that can increase its body of literates from 5 to 50 per cent.in forty years is capable of using to the advantage of itself and the nation the highest education obtainable and it ought to have the best that the nation can offer." On the subject of mob violence, Judge Taft spoke out in unequivocal denunciation of the exhibitions of brutish cruelt that had been happening all to frequently in many sections of the country, and feelingly deplored the fact that these fiendish crimes could be perpetrated by a so-called civilized people against innocent men and women, simply because of their color "It is impossible," said he, "to read accounts of this sort without having one's blood boil with indignation that there can reside in the human breast such a savage and beastly impulse and motive. "The best remedy and the most necessary one," continued the Judge, "is an improvement in the administration of our criminal laws and the holding to strict account the officers of the law who do not use all possible means to prevent or suppress such outbreaks." Throughout the able and cogent address, which will be found in full in the daily papers, the eminent jurist strikes straight from the shoulder in defense of the fullest observance of the laws designed to protect every citizen in the enjoyment of his constitutional rights, regardles of "race, color or previous condition of servitude." He stod by the letter and spirit of the War Amendments and declared that they were a part of the Federal constitution, and should be enforced as strictly and as zealously as other sections are enforced. He condemned as strongly as words and gesture enabled him, the public men, who in their discussions of the Negro question,use language calculated to arouse in the ignorant a deep contempt for the Negro race, and inspire an altogether unfriendly attitude toward it. He held them largely responsible for much of the feeling that manifests itself in the contumely heaped upon the black man; at times entirely unjustified by his orderly conduct and for the actual cruelty visited upon the race by mobs, and the uncalled for denial of civil privileges by individuals. Judge Taft's concluding remarks indicated a tender realization of the heart-throbs of the Negro race—a sympathetic comprehension of the tragedy that lies in disappointed hopes, thwarted ambitions, and restricted opportunities—all because of the color of his cuticle, but added that "In spite of all, you should be of good cheer. "The future is brighter for you and is more in your own hands than ever. The nation must deal with the problem that the presence of the Negro presents and solve them justly fairly, and charitably. Though brought here against his will and now, in a sense, the ward of the nation by reason of that fact, the Negro is not therefore relieved from the burden of responsibility that he must assume to win his way in the community by industry and thrift, to a place in which he becomes too valuable a part of society for his depreciators to ignore his rights and well-earned position." The speech has doubtless strengthened the Judge with the colored people everywhere. The warm reception accorded it by representative Negroes of Cincinnati indicated that the Judge is a prophet who has an abundance of honor in his own home. The small contingent of the race who insist that the election of Mr. Bryan offers the only relief from the alleged indifference and neglect of the Republican party are left without a leg to stand on. Like "Othello," their "occupation is gone." The charge that Judge Taft's triumph means an endorsement of disfranchisement and "Ily-whiteism," wil now be but "sounding brass and tinkling cymbil" to annoy the ear and convincing to nobody who has a taste for real melody. The specious cries of "Greensboro!" and "Lexington!" and "Tuskegee!" will fall flat when the Taftites hurl back the echo's of "Cincinnati! Cincinnati!"—for it will be remembered that in this historic Queen City the Judge's two bugle calls to the race were sounded. Until Mr. Bryan disavows his New York approval of disfranchisement, and explains the failure of the Denver convention to declare for the constitutional rights of the Negro, as well as his own silence on the subject of Negro citizenship, any notice paid to the colored Hessians who are trying to earn the pittance handed them by the Democracy, will be a sheer waste of valuable time Judge Taft's Cincinnati keynote has given the Negro spell-ginders of his "faith and order" enough matter to talk about for the remainder of this campaign of education. It may not be out-of place to remark once more, in this connection that the speeches delivered by Judge Taft at Greensboro, Lexington and Tuskegee, which the Negro Democrats have chosen to distort for personal reasons, were simply candid, straightforward and impartial analyses of an exasperating situation, for which no immediate remedy could be found. His investigation uncovered a foul state of affairs, but he could not, as an honest man, promise instantaneous relief; he would treat it as best he could, but the solution must be for the future. Judge Taft dissected conditions in the South as a surgeon would disclose the diseased tissues of the human body, without responsibility for their existence, yet prescribing, according to his judgment, a course of treatment that might in time lead to a restoration of health. His penetrating eye noted the evils of disfranchisement, lynching, peonage and restriction of civil rights, and told the world about them: laying bare the rottenness in order that the conscience of the nation might be aroused and be moved to seek a tonic that would drive out these impurities from the American system. He exposed not only the rottenness of southern methods with reference Continued on 4th page WASHINGTON, D. C., SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 19, 1908. THE GUARDIAN AND THE BEE. I THINK I SAW BOOKER T.

Douglas. Editor "The Bee:— I wish to congratulate the Bee for its full and complete answers in its last issue to the questions propounded in a recent communication from a Negro Democrat. These answers were contained in a number of short and pointed items, and went straight home to the mark. PRINTING OFFICE NOB WORK THE BE THE HEADS THE HEADS A COMEDY IN THREE ACTS The position of the Negro Democrat is as follows: He complainesthat the Republican party fails to correct abuses, and indignities put upon him by his own party, or that he inflicts upon himself. For being a Democrat, he shares in responsibility and aids in all that party does in States and localities where it is in supreme control. He seeks to be restrained against himself. The lunatic or one bordering on lunacy is in exactly the same position as the Negro Democrat. Fix me, put me in a straight jacket lest I do myself injury. This is his cry. We have the spectacle here of a preacher, only a few years from somewhere else, non-voter, nontax payer, buting into everything, family broils, school affairs, and A real leader cannot limit his politics. The vicinity in which his church is located is teeming in vice; the jail and workhouse filled with those needing his care and religious consolation, and yet he turns his church into a hot-bed of political agitation, and abuse of people who work for their living; while he struts about in broad-cloth, from the hard earnings of the poorly paid washer-women. I would rather be an eighty cent clerk than a Rev. loafer and falsifier. Charles R. Douglass. NEW YORK THE COLORED VOTE IN NEW YORK. New York City, September 15, 08.—The colored vote in the city is somewhat divided, but I am inclined to believe that it will find its level before election day, if it is properly treated. I see that there is a great deal of disappointment among the colored voters on account of the retirement of Hon. Elmer Dover from the active management of the National Committee. The sentiment for Mrs. Dover in New York is very strong. I have always had a I THINK I SAW BOOKER. T. GOING INTO THE BEE HE PASSED HERE BUT HE NEVER SPOT TO M.

Things are a little quiet in and around head-quarters. I feel confident that there is a great need of Mr. Dover being in charge of the colored end of the campaign, with such men as his assistants, who have the confidence and respect of the colored voter. Bishop Walters has an independent political club in New York. The club means business. That is, it is out for the "stuff," and if the "stuff" doesn't come, you may depend on it, that there will be "nothing doing," so far as the members are concerned. The colored brother in New York is looking for it, you may depend upon it. Hon. James C. Mathews of Albany, is at the head of the colored Democratic contingency. He will have as his assistants two members of the Walters club. THE COLORED BROTHER. I have been watching the colored brother and see but little of his work. Just what he does in New York, I am unable to say. Everywhere I go I see him holding up the lamp posts and corner bar rooms. He seems to be a gentleman of leisure. He is always dressed in the height of fashion, and where he gets his money, I am unable to state. Some one works for him. The Hotel Maceo is doing great business. Mr. Thomas and his most genial wife are running the Maceo. You should never fail to go to this how when you want first-class service. I understand that Editor Fortune is at Red Bank, N. J. He is not doing much active work in the present campaign. NOT TO BLAME. Many of the colored voters in the state are not anxious to see a Democratic president elected. The women especially, say that they have had hard times enough this summer, without having a hard winter. They cannot be convinced otherwise. Chariman Hitchcock was not at head-quarters today. The active man in charge is, Hon. Elmer Dover. I MUST ADMIT THAT I NEVER SUPFERED SUCH AGONEY BEFORE DO YOU KNOW OF ANY REMEDY THAT WILL RELIEVE ME OF MY SUFFERINGS IN SO ADVISE ME AT ONCE you are W.M. Trotter F.M. GOWAN there's where I got stung. Things are getting warm. There is a great deal of work to be done, and the committee must get to work. THE SCHOOLS. Opposition to Noll and Baily. There is a great deal of dissatisfaction to Messrs. John C. Noll and W. L. Baily, as supervising principals in the colored schools. The immediate transfer of these two men, would undoubtedly give entire satisfaction to those who are interested in the public schools. What the schools need, are men who have the support of the teachers, and the public. There are men connected with the schools who would make good successors to Noll and Baily. OPENING DAY AT HOWARD OPENING DAY AT HOWARD UNIVERSITY. The opening chapel service for the Academic Departments of Howard University will take place Wednesday, September 23d at 11 a.m. It is important that every student be present. The prospect is for a record breaking attendance in all departments. WORK TO BE DONE. Some colored men may turn fools, and vote the Democratic ticket; but they will regret it in the end. There is work to be done. Seventy-one years ago, in this same Springfield, Ill., then a little Western frontier town, a young men's lyceum used to meet on winter evenings to discuss public questions. PARAGRAPHIC NEWS An order was issued last week by Public Printer Leech for the organization of a night force of about forty pressmen and press feeders for the Government Printing Office. The War Department closed last Saturday at 12.30 o'clock for the last time this year. An unusually brilliant auroora borealis was observed in this city one night last week by the officers of the Naval Observatory. Representative George A. Pearre began actively his campaign for reelection last Monday afternoon in the Sixth Maryland District. The Bee acknowledges the receipt of a vocal piece of music, entitled "Sandy and I," from the Globe Music Company in New York. The piece is worthy of commendation. The celebration of the 20th anniversary of the founding of the first Grand Lodge of Negro Masons in the United States was held in Boston, Mass., last week. Freel Peterson, of Springfield, Ill., who feared hydrophobia as a result of a squirrel's bite, committed suicide. Postmaster aBrnes left the city re- cently to attend the convention of first-class postmasters, which convened at Chattanooga, Tenn., last Tuesday, to be held until Thursday, inclusive. The commission on the betterment of country life will soon assemble in this city. The funeral of Mrs. Sara A. Silence the wife of George P. Silence, was held in the Fifteenth Street Presbyterian Church last Tuesday afternoon. A rolling soup kitchen is expected to reach this city shortly, and will be sent to the Washington Barracks. The kitchen is a very large kettle on wheels, usually drawn in the Russian or German armies by two horses. The Chinese Minister, Wu Ting-Fang, left Battle Creek, Mich., for this city last unday night. S. A. Kimberly, local manager of the American Ice Company, announced last Saturday afternoon that the company would close its hygienic ice making plant because of the action of the District officials in strictly enforcing the smoke regulation in connection with the establishment. It is stated that complaints are beginning to arrive again concerning the tardy delivery of mail matter. At the annual protracted meeting of South Boston (Va.) Colored Ch., near Craddocksville, it is reported that a row occurred over a game of crap. Samuel L. Devine, who was the largest postmaster, weighed about 350 pounds, died at Hanover, Pa., the first part of this week. About 150 members of the Milk Producers' Association of Maryland, irginia and the District of Columbia, who were in session last Tuesday afternoon, discussed a proposal to advance the price of milk and cream. Mrs Lizzie Steeie, said to be a wife of a resident of this city, became violently insane while en route from this city on a Baltimore and Ohio tran to Philadelphia, Pa., to attend the "Holy Rollers" convention.

Judge Taft addressed a gathering of colored ministers of the Ohio Conference of the A. M. E. Church last Tuesday night at Cincinnati,O. He expressed his sympathy for the Negroes and denounced lynching. The public schools of the District The public schools of the District of Columbia will open next Monday. Continued to page 4. NOVEL TIN CAN CLUBS. Their Mission Is to Supply the Demand for New Forests. B. H. Green of Monterey, Cal. has sent out a circular giving information regarding the Tin Can clubs through whose beneficent activities he expects to see the country supplied with needed forests. The attempts to cultivate tree claims in the Dakotaes many years ago were rather discouraging, says the National Magazine, but Mr. Green insists that he has been successful in planting tree seeds, nuts and cuttings in refuse tin cans, and can now show an oak tree twenty feet high only eight years old and also a redwood tree grown from seed, which is now fully thirty feet high and only twelve years of age. Mr. Green insists that a tomato can with a fair sized hole punched in the bottom and filled with good earth is just the thing needed to start a tree in and that if the earth is never allowed to become dry the growth of the tree will be amazing. Later the little trees are transplanted without removing from the cans, for the rust eats away the can sufficiently to allow the roots to free themselves as they need more room. Nebraska Sod House. There are few surviving examples of the primitive style of architecture once in fashion on the plains. Within a radius of many miles of Central City, Neb., only one sod house that is innabited, can be found. It is the residence of Oscar Nelson and is situated south of Polk in Hamilton County. For thirty years it has sheltered Mr. Nelson and his wife, and within its walls three children were born and raised. It has weathered some very severe storms and proved so stanchly built that surprisingly few repairs have been needed. Nebraska soil has proved reliable in many ways. But few other instances can be cited of it standing the test for thirty years when forming the walls of a sod house. Reed Laths in Germany. Consul H. W. Harris of Nuremburg, writes that the use of small reeds as a substitute for plastering laths is common in Germany. The reeds are chiefly imported from Hungary by Danuba boats, and vary in length from 1 to $ 2 \frac{1}{2} $ yards or even more, and from $ \frac{3}{8} $ inch to $ 1 \frac{1}{4} $ inches in diameter. By machinery these reeds are fastened together by wires to form a mat as wide as the reeds are long, and this is cut and fastened to walls in place of laths. In some cases builders require the matting to be put on double, the aim being to have the reeds in the upper mat fall at the interstices in the lower mat. The Spanish Onion in Song. How many people would guess the meaning of a "Spanish onlon song?" This strange phrase—one of the many to be found in the professionals' dictionary of slang—is used to denote the music hall ballard, and owes it origin to the fact that no self respecting member of its race would be without a pathetic reference to "dear old mother" or "somebody's sweetheart far away." Now, pathos draws tears, and so do onlons. The rest is obvious. Pollitely Garbled. Bir Algernon West in his recently published reminiscences, tells this story of Robert Browning: "When he had become famous some one wanted very much to meet him. A kind friend arranged a meeting, and the guest besleged Browning with questions and conversation during the dinner, and even after dinner he continued button-hoiling his victim. 'Come,' said the poet, 'this will never do; they will say I'm monopolizing you.'" Trials of a Chaperon. Miss Mayme (on vacation)—"O, auntie, ...is such a luxury to have nothing to do but just loll in a hammock with my precious Shelley or even the "Vicar of Wakefield!"" Elderly Relative—"Child if I hear of any more such scandalous doings I shall write to your mother!" Gorilla and Man. The gorilla is in statue about the same as man, but is far behind him when it comes to the contents of the brain-pan. The greatest capacity of the gorilla's brain is only $34\frac{1}{2}$ cubic inches, the least 23, as against 62 in the least capacious human skull and 114 in the greatest. Cat Photographers. A young woman looking for rugs told a New York salesman that she wanted a shade to match her cat, speaking of cats, there are photographers in the city who make a specialty of posing cats for pictures. A studio in New York has specified hours for posing. Medical Air Locks Tunnels in course of construction are now provided with medical air locks, where workmen afflicted with 'bends" can be treated under pressure. A Natural Hat's Lining. Little Margie's father had a bald spot. While kissing him at bedtime one evening she said: "Stoop down, papa; I want to kiss you on the head where the lining shows." A HOSPITAL ON WHEELS. Intended Primarily for the Benefit of Injured Coal Miners. A hospital car fully equipped and in charge, of a doctor and his assistant has been built for the Lackawanna Coal Company. The hospital car of the Lackawanna is the only one in the anthracite regions, but it is not likely to remain long an exception, as the other railroad companies who own mines will probably follow suit. A hospital car for the coal mines is a necessity, says the Engineering and 'Mining Journal. Many of the mines are long distances from a hospital, while they are all situated on, or near, railway tracks, where a hospital car can be conveyed without delay or inconvenience. Under the new conditions the patient can be treated in the hospital car, regardless of the nature of the accident. Should it be necessary as it often is, that amputation should be performed, the car carries all the equipment that its surgeon may need in such an emergency. This is the first time the car has been used since it left the builders' hands, some few months ago. It has not, however, been idle during all that time. It has gone the rounds of the Lackawanna mines, visiting each colliery, where Dr. Lake has given personal instructions to many miners and mine attendants on first aid to the injured. Miners are intrepid in rescue work, but it is all important that some one about the mines should be able to give first aid to some poor fellow "badly smashed," as they say, before the ambulance doctor arrives upon the scene. Not for Lo. The Indian bureau will not hire barbers to minister to the red man's wants. The red man can use a safety razor and let his squaw shear his dusky locks. When a red man looks too long on the firewater a safety razor is a much better weapon for him to handle than the ordinary picnic disturber. The red man can have umbrellas and plug hats and spats and invisible suspenders, but no glided and striped pole will decorate the front of his lone wigwam. The Wrong One. A young man had been calling now and then on a young lady, when one night, as he sat in the parlor, waiting for her to come down, her mother entered the room instead, and asked him in a very grave, stern way, what his intentions were. He turned very red, and was about to stammer some incoherent reply, when suddenly the young lady called down from the head of the stairs: "Mamma, mamma, that is not the one!" Why Journalism is Popular Journalism is very popular with Smith College girls, as two years ago, two graduates of the college applied for positions on a Boston newspaper and were immediately accepted. This year there are two vacancies, the young ladies having married members of the newspaper staff. The editor now has made application for two of this year's graduates and will have no trouble in getting them. Polignant Wlt. Sir Richard Bethell, afterward Lord Westbury, with a suave voice and a stately manner, nevertheless had a way of bearing down the foe with almost a savage wit. Once, in court, he had to follow a barrister who had delivered his remarks in very loud tones. "Now that the noise in court has subdued," murmured Bethell, "I will tell your Honor in two sentences the gist of the case." A Thought for the Week. Blessed is the man who has the glit of making friends, for it is one of God's best gifts. It involves many things, but above all the power of going out of one's self and seeing and appreciating what is noble and loving in another man.—Thomas Hughes. Plenty of Time. "Give me a little time," said the literary young man, according to Bpead, "and I will do something to arouse the country." Three months later he had his chance. He was peddling alarm clocks in a farming community.—Youth's Companion. Columbus. Historians have not satisfactorily determined when Columbus was born. Some give the year of his birth as 1436, others as 1447. If the latter year be accepted he was forty-five when he made his discovery. If the former, he was fifty-six. Circumstantial Evidence. Recent excavations at Pompeii have uncovered the remains of a man with both hands resting on his stomach. This would seem to indicate that the early cucumber was not unknown to the ancients. Seeing Things Squarely. Do live that you may look every man squarely in the face. You will see many hideous things, but if there be one or two fair you will be wholly requitted.—Lincoln (Neb.) Journal. AS TO MOSQUITOES. One Authority Advises Feeding Them to the Millions. Some interesting experiments (writes an English correspondent) are being conducted in several of the British Colonial possessions in the West Indies, for the purpose of ascertaining how far the immunity enjoyed by Barbados from the visitations of the malarial mosquito is due to the pressure in the local waters of a tiny fish known as "millions." As far back as 1888, specimens of the Trinidad variety of this little fish were determined by the authorities at South Kensington, its habits being similar in every respect to the Barbados species. Its voracity is out of all proportion to its size, and as its food consists to a large extent of the larvae of the mosquito, it cannot be doubted that its operations constitute a very potent factor in rendering the area in which it lives free from malarial fever. Places which have long been known to be the recognized breeding haunts of mosquitoes have become quite harmless after the introduction of these fish. It is believed that a far more effectual method of eradicating the mosquito is to be found in inducing them to lay their eggs in a receptacle to which the "millions" have been previously introduced, than to rely solely on kerosene or petroleum, although the last-named would seem to be peculiarly suitable for dealing with the stagnant water which collects in the gutters of large buildings and which is a favorite haunt of the militant mosquito. A Fireless House. To demonstrate his faith in the practicability of electricity for all domestic purposes, an official of an Illinois electrical company has recently built a house at Carrollton, Ill., without a chimney or any other means of making use of fire. The house is heated by steam and the cooking done by electricity, both supplied by the heat, light and power company, with which the gentleman is connected. This construction marks the beginning of an effort to obtain customers for current to be used in the kitchen, and a special rate has been fixed for that kind of service. The Water Hyacinth. An interesting novelty for the corner of the garden may be found in the water hyacinth, which can now be bought from the florist for a few cents. This requires a little pond or a tub of water, upon the surface of which the curiously expanded leaves will float, sending down their long roots into the water. A single plant multiplies rapidly, and before the end of the season will be likely to send up many of the spikes of violet blue flowers English Urbanity. We sincerely hope that this is the last time we shall see American amateur athletes in this country, and we can get on very well without a great many other Americans who are not athletes. Of course it would be absurd not to admit that among Americans there are some good sportsmen and agreeable people, but they are in such a small minority that it is almost impossible to trace them. Not a Matter of Creed. A man addicted to walking in his sleep went to bed all right, but when he awoke he found himself on the street in the grasp of a policeman. "Hold on," he cried, "you mustn't arrest me. I'm a somnambulist." To which the policeman replied:—"I don't care what your religion is—yer can't walk the street in yer nightshirt." Art of the Superior Smile. The superior smile is a useful accomplishment for any young man. It is much in vogue at the universities, where it may be studied at its best on young Don. Many men who learn nothing else at the universities, learn this art, and find it uncommonly useful in after life. It is an excellent cover for a naked mind, and should be sought after by parliamentary candidates. An Error of the Times Among the educated classes the tendency of the day is to make far too much of the children. One of the most objectionable sights is to see well-trained, well-mannered little men and women of the world who are treated by their elders as if they were not only equals but superiors. Shears for Carving Fowl. A pair of shears has been devised especially for those who find the talent of carving hard to acquire. The upper blade is a carving knife and the dented lower blade forms a clip. The shears are easy to handle and permit one to attack any part of the fowl. Man's Dull Attire Britishers are constantly becoming duller and more morose in the matter of their clothes. There carelessness in this respect seems sometimes to amount to affectation. A Garden of Hyzinths The Sultan of Turkey has a whole garden exclusively devoted to hyacinths of different kinds. THE SILK HAT. On Whose Head and in What Circumstances It Is Most Conspicuous. Conspicuous as the silk hat somehow appears on the head of an unaccustomed wearer, it may in some circumstances be even more conspicuous on the head of one accustomed to wear it constantly, as when worn by a cabman on his way home to the stable with his coat off. Then does the cabman's silk hat loom up indeed, to become not merely conspicuous at a hat, but to be worn above a white shirt and crossed suspenders, of all the landscape easily the dominating feature. Sunshine as a Hair Bleach. In the days of Queen Elizabeth women of fashion suffered the most violent headaches because they stood in the sunshine day after day to bleach their hair yellow, in imitation of Her Majesty's chrome locks. There is no particular fashion in hair color to-day. All shades and tints are in the market. The peroxide blonde is sitting in the background hoping, and among men she remains always under suspicion. Made Him a Songster. Mr. Stubb (in astonishment)—'Gracious, Maria! That tramp has been singing out in the back yard for the last hour.' Mrs. Stubb—"Yes, John, it is all my fault." Mr. Stubb—"Your fault?" "Mrs. Stubb—"Indeedfl it is. I thought I was giving him a dish of boiled oatmeal and instead of that I boiled up the bird-seed by mistake." Milk. From whatever source obtained, milk contains every constituent required by the human body for its growth and nourishment, and nothing more is required for the development of the young of all mammals, whether carnivorous or herbivorous, than the elements which analysis shows us to exist in that important fluid. A Good Precedent. A good precedent has been set in the sending to jail for thirty days of a rascally chauffeur who took his employer's automobile without permission for a "joy ride" and did a lot of damage. If every such offense had such a sequel there would be less of that sort of law breaking—or the jails would be filled and the chauffeur market depleted. Strenuous. Yet Robust. The patrilarch of the olden type, is not so much in evidence now. But America is full of well preserved men far past middle life who hardly show their years, as, with modern machinery of achievement, they accomplish more in a month than their grandfathers could have done in a year. Regal. His ambition was to be rich, and for that he toiled early and late. "Wealth," he cried, will make a king of me!" And so it did. At the age of 50, by which time he was worth $100,000,000, he had to have a body-guard to keep him from being assassinated, just like a king. A Bright Lad. "That's a powerful smart boy of your'n Ike," said a prominent citizen of Polkville, Ark. "You betcha! proudly replied the parent of the prodigy. "He can swear like a pirate, and the little feller's only five years old and hain't never been in sight of the ocean in his life, neither!" Century of Shriek. Politically, socially and morally we are to-day suffering from the fact that the huge army of degenerates in our midst have a voice in the making of public opinion. The high-pitched voices of the "excitable geratic" have marked the twentieth century as "The Century of Shriek." - The Law of Life. Keep thyself, then, simple, good, pure, serious, free from affectation, a friend of justice, a worshipper of the gods, kind, affectionate, strenuous, in all proper acts. Short is life. There is only one fruit of this terrene life—a plous disposition and social acts. Mental Therapeutics in Action: Whenever you feel that you must go off to the mountains or the seaside, go into your back yard, lie flat on your back on the grass, look up through the leaves at the blue sky—you will find that an excellent substitute. Esperanto Flagged. Have you seen the Esperanto flag? It was raised for the first time in America Monday at the Chautauqua assembly grounds, to the singing of the Esperanto hymn. The flag is a green and white ensign with a green star on a white field. Taking Notice.

C.—'The present Government tests of airships of xe rious types will serve to bring prom|- nently before the public the functions ‘and personnel of the newest and one of the most interesting branches of the United States army—the Balloon Squad. The little group of men who Within the past few months here qualified as experts in the handling of sky craft will serve as the nucleus of what will ultimately become one of the most Important organizations im Uncle Sam's military establieh- ment—a trained body such as ts es- rential, if this nation fs to overcome the long lead already gained by France, Germany and Great Britain in military aeronautics. The Balloon Squad 15 a branch of ‘the United States Signal Corps. For a number of years ballooning bas been regarded in military circles. as an essential adjunct to the signal work | of the army, but Americans have been unaccountably tardy In explolt- ing its possibilities, Picturesque indeed, were the cir cumstances which finally aroused the Yankee officers to action, The spark that set Interest and energy afiame fn this direction was the win- ning of the first {nternations! bal- Joon race by Lieut. Frank P. Lahm. That young American army officer, barely twenty-eight years of age and almost = novice in the work, should defeat the most experienced aero- nauts of Europe and win a decisive victory in what was, up to that time, the greatest arelal sporting event the word had ever seen, could not help but kindle the patriotism and the Aeronautic Interest of bis fellow of- feers at home and abroad. The outcome of the sentiment thus aroused was the fssuance of an or- der creating the Aeronautital Divis- fon of the Signal Corps. It was ar Tanged to get out of storage the sev- eral balloons of foreign make which had been bought by the United States Guring the Spantsh war and had been in storage ever since, and tt was decided that the headquarters of the new activities suould be at a “bal- Joon house” at Fort Myer, Va.. just across the Potomac from’ Washing- ton, and where the progress could be closely watched by the administra. tive officials of the War Department. At ts the expectation that ere many months elapse a second detachment of the Aeronautic division will be or. ganized at Fort Omaha, Neb.. where the government 1s now building s model balloon house and {s Install ing what it 1s aoped to be the mos! up-to-date piant In the worid for the manufacture of the hydrogen sas used for the inflation of balloons ‘Whe baloonists at Fort Myer have the care of all the balloons owned by the War Department. These include a French balloon of 9,000 cubic feet capacity, which was bought during the Spanish War; a balloon, 26.00( cuble feet capacity, of German man utacture, which was acquirea at th same time; the famous Balloon No 10, of 76,000 cuble feet capacity which was bullt especially for th Bignal Corps by Lec Stevens ant three small balloons of German man ufacture, 400 cuble feet capaci each, which are Intended primaril for signal work but which are prov tng very useful at Fort Myer as re » serve reservolrs for the storage of : surplus cupply ot hydrogen durin the inflation of the big balloons.

WIRELESS RAYS A MENACE TO HEALTH. ‘Will Probably Cause Some Mysto rious Disease Like the X-Rays Did.” Loncon, England.—It is. now as serted that wireless telegraphy may tarn ont to be a menace to health of the human race. Basing his alarming suggestion on the act that the Admiralty ts now sending messages to the British fleet a sea by means of a wireless tele- Sraphic ‘apparatus erected at the ary Headquarters in Whiteball, a well-known scientist says: “This means that ether waves are betng te. loose 1n one of the densest parts of London, In my opinion 2 most dangerous experiment, consid- ering the totally unsuspected _re- sults produced by X-rays, which are only another form of ether waves, ‘upon people coming into frequent contact with them. “With this wireless system once 1 use the people not only of Lon- don, but of all England, will be con- tnually subjected to these myste- rious and little understood ether dis turbances, with possibly calamitous results in the shape of some fearful and obscure discase akin to tha! caused by X-rays." Professor Sir William Crookes when consulted on the subject, 1m mediately admitted the possibility o! the wireJess rays being Injurlous. “Marconi rays and X-ray:,” bi said, “aro both vibrations of ether The X-Rays did not produce any in jurlous effect for some years, ant the fact that they were at all dan Serovs was not suspected. Personal ly, though I have worked with th X-rays from the beginning, I bave escaped harm. It 1s possible tha the wireless rays may have an ill ef fect upon people constantly subjecte: to them, though I have not heard o a case yet.” % A professor at King’s College sald: “It 1s so uncertain at present {1 what way the X-rays generate skii disease that I should not care t affirm that wireless rays have no sucl effect. For a considerable time no on imagined the X-rays to be harmfu and then several bad cases occurred It ts fmpossible to be sure that th Marcon! waves are not injurious when we know that the X-ray ethe ‘waves are so dangerous. .It canno be dented that anotner set of ethe waves ricit have thelr own specs action upon the human system. 1 might be undiscovered for year: Experiment alone can determin whether these wireless rays ar barmiese or not.” WIFE GOT THE MONEY. | “Come On" Was Wise, and Bunco Men Wero Buncoed.

The other, Mr. Bryan, is the standard bearer of a party whose record is, and has been, a menace to civilization. The Democratic party of Mr. Bryan has its advocates in persons like Tillman, Vardaman, Tom, Dixon, and others. Tillman is the advocate of the shotgun policy; Vardaman the champion of Ku Kluxism, and Dixon who has nursed the prejudice of Negro inferiority from the hour nature gave him reason to present his doctrine to the world. What is the Colored American to expect? What has become of their reasoning faculties? No nation except Colored Americans could so soon forget the wrongs that are heaped upon them. For centuries the Carthagenians labored under Roman oppression and tyranny, and not once did Carthagenian ancestry forgive, or forget Roman oppression, until it was settled by the sword; and not until after a bloody conflict did Rome realize that the Carthagenians were people who would not submit to oppression. Why should Colored Americans argue like maniacs from any asylum? The most ridiculous and insane declaration of the advocates of the independent Democratic doctrine, is an alleged self-defense theory. "The Bee" has read the law of self-defense, and seen combats of self-defense; but it has neither read of, nor seen a Nation quietly pursuing the even tenor of its way and obeying every law: defending the constitution under which it is governed and shot down, lynched, burned at the stake. denied its civil and political rights, "Jim Crowed," and then its own advocates declare that these acts of self-defense are right on the par of another race or nation. Lunatics just out of a madhouse would reason better. They would kill themselves, if not others if the opportunity were given them. Mr.Taft doesn't represent such a party. The party that he represents has made this country of ours, beautiful and prosperous. Stop! Colored Men, and consider what the blind representatives of the Colored people are doing. The greed for gold, and the emoluments of office, very often lead men to do, and commit acts injurious to themselves, and to their people. There was a time in the history of Colored Americans, when it was plausible for them to be independent; not in national, but in local politics. At this time the political crisis is of such a charac- It is an evident fact that color- men cannot afford to throw away the opportunities that were given to them by the Republican party. It is argued that the Republican party sat quietly by and allowed the political rights of Colored Americans to be taken from them, and for that reason they must support Mr. Bryan. Well, would it be consistent with fair play to support the party of abstraction, abridgement, and oppression, or the alleged party that remains passive, or apparently passive? In other words, ought Colored Americans to support the Democratic party which has never had any love for them, or the party which placed in their hands a weapon of defense? The ballot was given to the Colored Americans by the Republican party; is it consistent with reason for colored men to support the party which denies and takes from Colored Americans their civil and political rights? The great trouble with certain colored men, is that they are insensible as to what is right and proper to advise. Whatever the faults of the President may be, he has never as yet advocated the disfranchisement of Colored Americans; and so far as the Brownsville incident is concerned, Secretary Taft had no more to do with the dismissal of the colored troops than any other American citizen. The Bee's advice to Colored Americans is not to be deceived by false gods and false doctrines. AN OBJECT LESSON. Senator J. B. Foraker took up the cause of the Colored soldiers who were dismissed from the army without honor. The contest with the administration was hotly argued. The fight thus far is in "statu quo." Never in the history of any republic, has greater manhood been shown than that on the part of Senator Foraker. In the Senator's own state, the administration took from him his most able lieutenants, and threatened to take his seat in the Senate. The cause of the contest was the dismissal of the Colored troops. On the other hand, the entire Colored race arrayed itself against the President, and many of the representatives of the race have threatened to defeat the party if possible, because these Colored troops were dismissed without honor. The difference between Senator Foraker and many Colored representatives, is one believes that the success of the party is above self; while a few of the representatives of the Colored soldiers would sacrifice the race, and the party of protection to satisfy a selfish thirst for revenge. Has the Republican party injured the Colored race, or the Democratic party? Why are our wives, daughters, and swethearts compelled to ride in filth "Jim Crow" cars, while the poor, common, white trash are permitted ingress and egress to all public inns, public amusements, and public conveyances. Foraker would rather sacrifice himself than his party; some Colored Americans would rather sacrifice the party, the race and its liberties, than listen to reason. Senator Foraker is a patriot. MINISTER IN POLITICS. No one but an unprincipled demagogue will attack a man's religious belief. Judge Taft is a Unitarian in his belief. This country has had three presidents who were Unitarians, but no one ever thought to criticise their religion. The chaplain of the United States Senate is a Unitarian, yet no one has questioned his religion, or questioned his high morals. The fact of the matter is, that the men and women who led the abolition movement, started it, and finished it, and suffered in it and for it were Unitarians. That is a belief that recognizes no distinction because of race or color. One thing is true about Unitarian minister, they never disgrace their pulpits by luggingpolitics into the church. They never trail the livery of God in the dus of corrupt political meetings. They never, for hire, for so much per meeting, and for speech, indulge in throwing mud,or in criticising a man's religious belief, simply because it happens not to accord with his. Who was it that decreed that his religious belief was the only correct belief? Be it said that this campaign may prove the Waterloo for the Negro minister, because of his undue activity, and his eagerness to neglect his ministerial duties for politics. The pew soon loses faith in the uprightness of a minister who accepts money from any political party. And the pew is no longer an ignorant pew in Negro churches. The pulpit is no place for a minister who has an itching palm, to sell his political beliefs for gold. And the Negro minister has his hands full to look after the temporal welfare of his flock and to lift his church out of debt. Politics is no place for a minister. It corrupts him and lessens his influence for good. "The Bee" warns them that they are trailing the livery of God in the dust, when they engage in politics for hire. A real Leader cannot Imit his sphere of usefulness by meets or bounds. He cannot, no matter how much he may so desire, prescribe how wide or how restricted his activites, in the interest of the people he is called on to serve, shall be. A real leader rises to the altitude of a statesman, and a confined within one country, nor one state, nor one section, but within his entire country. Aye, every country where atide his people. He may really desire to devote his energy: along one particular line, but the call or duty is co-urgent that his stream of usefulness is made to overflow its banks and become seawide. There has been some narrow and unjust criticism of Dr. Washington because his advice has been solicited on affairs political. This criticism has not been prompted by sincere interest in the welfare of the race, but by jealousy born of selfishness. It comes from the same men who, themselves, have stepped aside from a chosen path to pursue a course which they argue is eminently proper. The criticism, therefore, to say the least, is not consistent. Left to his own desires Dr. Washington would limit his energies to the educational field alone. But he is no longer a captain of a company, or the colonel of a brigade. He is, and made so by the universal acclaim because of great deeds done,a general with a whole army, brigades and corps, looking to him for command. Those that know him intimately know that politics, in the restricted sense,is repugnant to him. But when called upon by eminent executives and legislators, to give advice on matters that bear on the uplift of his people he would be The men who seek his advice have confidence in his integrity, in his deep, very deep and unselfish interest in his race. They seek his advice not because he is a politician, but because he is not a politician. Because he is a big, broad minded brainy statesman, the per of any. We have mere political leaders, but they are, of a necessity, narrow and selfish to a greater or less degree. All mere political leaders white or black are. Washington is wholly unselfish. Self, with him is so infinitely small that he never considers it. Race, with him, is so big and great that he has no time for thought of self. His whole being is wrapped up in his race. His whole life is consecrated to the beterment of his people along every line of honest, human endeavor. That's why he is a leader. That's why he is a statesman. That's why the advice of Booker Washington, is sought when weighty questions and grave problems that have, or may have a bearing on the uplift of his people are considered. And Dr. Washington's advice is always sane and helpful because always unselfish, broadminded, and intelligent. Dr. Washington's sphere is now unrestricted by state or section; by creeds or professions. Rev. Waldron remains very quiet. What cyclone has struck him? The coming changes in the schools, will no doubt, surprise the natives. Senator Foraker has changed front; perhaps the colored voters will learn some sense. The man who goes out on the stump, must have a following or a constituency. The B. M. C. has met and adjourned. Perhaps fraternal politics will take a back seat. Secretary Taft will win, notwithstanding the disagreement of the colored voters. Because a man makes a loud noise, is no reason that he can speak. Orators are born. A few more business enterprises among District colored Americans, will increase their wealth. The Republicans in office who hold good jobs, should send a handsome contribution to the committee. James L. Pugh will succeed Judge Kimball in the event of Bryan's election. The election is not far off. If Rev. Carrothers will state what the Democratic party has done for the colored Americans, "The Bee" will rise and make a bow. There is some likelihood of monkeys organizing, but the lawyers have decided to remain divided. There is organization among ants. The West Virginia platforms state that the colored Americans should be disfranchised and "Jim Crowed;" and yet colored men want the Democrats to carry the state. This looks like starving the stomach to get even with the other members of the body The Negro Defended to the Negro, but as mercilessly applied the scalpel to the spineless and scheming southern Republicans of that section, who in their greed for office, forgot to emphasize the cardinal principles of the part and permitted such conditions to exist, without effective protest. Judge Taft did his whole duty, and a careful reading of the speeches in question will bear out this claim, and betray the trickery of his opponents in both races, who have mislead the public by picking out sentences here, there adrotly alter- The attempt to discredit Judge Taft in the ees of the Negro electorate of the country by representing him as an enemy to the civic equality of the race is 'dirty politics,' and will not succeed, The spirit of fair play, inbred in the American heart, revolts against such unrighteous tactics and they will be rebuked when the sober, second thought of the people has had a chance to assert itself—and that time is now at hand. Criticism is alread giving place to praise, and the hitherto deceived members of our race are railing to the to the standard of this broad-minded statesman, bestowing upon him with interest the cheers that the chicanery of the enemy have led them to behold. Just as we may regard the previous deliverances of Judge Taft as mere analyses of a disagreeable state of affairs, to call attention to the necessity for correction, his Cincinnati keynote is to be accepted as the definite promise of the Republican candidate for the Presidency of the United States that there will be undertaken by his party a systematic and comprehensive plan of relief from the evils that now bar the Negro's "Door of Hone." As a "looker on in Vienna," the Secretary of War could lonly investigate, regulate, suggest; but as the prospective Chief Executive of the nation, about to be commissioned for the great work of racial redemption, he can extend direct assurances of sympathy with our desires for a larger citizenship and outline a policy that will bring about the reforms needed. His Cincinnati speech, therefore, comes at the "psychological moment." It marks the beginning of the end of the fallacy that the Republican nominee is inimical or indifferent to the welfare of Negro people and places him squarely upon the constitution of the United States as the platform upon which his campaign is to be pitched. With respect to the colored vote, the Cincinnati message leaves Judge Taft complete master of the situation, A determined effort will be made by the managers of the campaign in Washington to have every Republican employee of the Government go home to vote. A tabulated statement is being prepared b Mr. Henr M. Vamp, in charge of the Interstate Republican Headquarters opposite the Treasur, which will show how many Republican voters there are in the service here and it will be pointed out to each that it is his duty to make the journey to his legal residence and put in a ballot for Taft and Sherman. Statements will be made from time to time showing the progresse of the work. Steps will be taken to locate the colored voters and have them vote in their respective States. Some little embarrassment has been felt by the clerks in the departments by reason of the President's order to the Civil Service Commission to strictly enforce the regulation forbidding Federal employees to engage activei in politics. Many are anxious to do more than the law allows, but are backward about resigning to undertake campaign work, for the order intimates that those who go off temporarily to engage in such work may have a hard time securing reinstatement after the election. However, this prohibition does not apply o those not embraced in the classified service, and the campaign will have to wag merrily along with the men who are too high or too low in grade to be looked upon with disfavor by the cmmission's "eagle eye." Taft and Sherman continue to be endorsed by the colored voters who maintain a residence in the various States, but who make Washington a temporary abiding place. Announcement is made that the Taft and Sherman Colored National RepublicanClub of the District of Columbia, composed mostly of temporary residents who vote inNorthCarolina,Virginia,aMryland, West Virginia, and New Jersey, has completed arrangements for a mass meeting at Rustine Hall, on Virginia avenue, between Second and Third streets southwest, Friday evening, September 18, for the purpose of ratifying the nomination of Taft and Sherman. Last Thursday the Robert H. Key RepublicanClub of colored voters held a ratification meeting for the national ticket at Spring Hill, Md. James W. Poe, formerly regarded as a vigorous oponent to the nomination of Judge Taft, made the principal address of the occasion, calling on the colored people of the country to stand up firmly for the Republican ticket. Mr. Poe is a prominent member of the A. M. E. Zion Church and has written much and well for the aWashington Evening Star and a number of colored papers of the country, notably the Star of Zion, the general organ of the Zion connection. Mr. Poe was at one time a member of the Legislature of North Carolina. Col. J. H. Deveaux, Collector of Cusotoms at Savannah, Ga., was in the city this week. He reports the Republican situation in Georgia as quiet and harmonious. The divisions been bridged over, and every member of the party will do his level best to advance the interests of the national ticket. Bishop J. W. Smith, whose episcopal residence is in this city, is writing a series of letters to various race journals urging the Zionites and the colored voters at large to give their warmest support to Taft and Sherman. Bishop Smith is one of the ablest writers, as well as one of the most eloquent pulpit orators in the country, and his counsel carries weight throughout his Church. He was formerly editor of the Star of Zion. A summary of the Negro employees in the service of the Federal Government, exclusive of the army and navy, shows that the number has more than doubled in the last four years of the Roosevelt administration, and that the aggregate pay has increased from $3,000,000 in 1904 to over eight million in 1908. The actual number of Negroes employed as clerks, officers, and in other capacities at this time is 13,978. They draw from the Treasury in salaries the phenomenal sum of $8,032,375. In the city of Washington a'one there are 5,499 Negroes employed in the Government service, and their salaries aggregate $3,044,404, which is as much as th aggregate salaries of all the Negroes employed under the enal government in every State of the Union four years ago. To continue this magnificent record of the Roosevelt administration, the colored voters of the land will give their supprt to the Republican nominees. The election of Mr. Bryan would mean a wholesale exodus of Negroes from the Government service. Recorder John C. Dancy and Register W. T. Vernon addressed an audience of 2,000 at Calvary A. M. E. Church last Thursday evening, in the city of Philadelphia. The great meeting was held under the auspices of the Civil Rights League and the enthusiasm for Taft was a feature of the occasion. Mr. Dancy took up the Brownsville issue, and met it squarely, bringing the people ti see that the prejudiced Democrats of the South were primarily responsible for the trouble which led to the whole Brownsville episode, and then pointing out, amid applause, that the Republicans wish to reinstate the soldiers, but differ only as to method, while the Democrats voted solidly against restoring them under any circumstances. He scored heavily in stating that the Democratic policy is to eliminate the Negro entirely from the army of the United States. A vote for Taft is a vote for the Negro soldier. A vote for Bryan would be a desertion of Senator Foraker, who is hard at work to bring about the election of Judge Taft. PARAGRAPHIC NEWS.

The occasion was the marriage of Miss Sylvia Anne,sister of Mr. and Mrs. John R. Ashton, of Washington, D. C., to Rev. James C. Van Loo, B.D., son of Capt. James A. Van Loo, of St. Vincent, B. W. I. Rev. Van Loo is pastor at St. Monica's. 200 F street Immediately after the ceremon was performed by Rev. Thomas J. Brown, assisted by Revs. Oxley and Bennett, the novelty of a handkerchief shower was given the wedded couple. This feature consisted of each member armig with a new kerchief from the daintiest pretense to the largest expanse and holding up the bridal automobile and making the bride and groom the friendly targets for these various bits of linen. "Bon oyage," "I wish you much joy," and a multitudinous number of compliments of similar nature.

The South comes up strong, but Houston seems to be in the lead. The session is not as largely attended as was anticipated. THE PEACH. Did you ever observe a peach at early morn, just after the dew had kissed it? We mean a large, ripe luscious peach, one on whose thin, almost transparent, velvety rind nature had painted a delicate pink rivaling the blush that mounts to the virgin maiden's cheeks when her young Lochinvar first tells her of his love. If so you have noted how that beauteous shade of pink runs in and blends with a golden yellow. That's the outward evidence of the ripness and lusciousnes of the peach. Now break it open. Hugging the delicious meat of the peach is a mahogany-colored stone, reluctant to leave its bed of sweetness. The juice flows out--juice that surpasses honey an hundred foid. You bite off'a bit. What a flavor! It cannot be described. In the absence of an adequate descriptive word, we say it is delicious. It is heavenly fruit. It is so delicious that we hesitate to swallow, hoping that it may lie upon our palate until the fairy of Slumberland touches the eyelids and sends us off to revel in beautiful dreamland. And when at last the morsel of deliciousness slips slowly and hesitatingly down the throat, what a fever of satisfaction consumes us. It is the fruit of Paradise, the one fruit that no existent language affords a fitting word to describe its beaut. its swetwetness, its delicious taste. The nearest description of a peach is 10 liken it to divinely beautiful bit of virgin femininity for whom heaven's flowers bloom. That's a peach. Ralph W. Tyler, in the Daily Ohio State Journal of Sept. 13. THE NEGRO'S VOICE FOR TAFT Hon. Charles W. Anderson's Resolu- tion Endorsing the Eminent Statesman Adopted With a "Hurrah." Saratoga, N. Y. September 15. A highly dramatic feature of yesterday's session of the Republican State convention was the introduction by Hon. Charles W. Anderson, of New York, the colored member at large of the State committee and who is making such an enviable record as Collector of Internal Revenue for the second district, of an extended resolution paying a glowing tribute to the character and public service of Judge Taft and more particularly extending to the presidential nominee the congratulations of the convention upon his fifty-first birthday, which was to occur on the morrow. The resolution was adopted with a shout that lasted for several minutes, and the secretary was instructed to telegraph the full text to Judge Taft. The speech of Mr. Anderson prefacing the resolution was frequently interrupted by applause,long and hearty, and is pronounced one of his very ablest forensic efforts. The voice of Mr. Anderson is accepted by the citizens of the state as the united voice of the colored voters, with whom he is justly popular and recognized from Buffalo to Far Rockaway as their natural leader. The New York Negroes are for Taft and Sherman. NEW MUSIC FOR OUR READERS. "Sandy and I" is the title of a new song with words and music by Mrs. Mary E. Ireland, the well-known author, who has a wide-known acquaintance all over this country. The Scotch dialect is well used. It is a song that we are sure will be well received. The melody is rich and the words are sweet and tender, the chorus of which runs: "And we are sae happy, sae happy to feel That when our ain time comes to dee, Our mither at hame in the land of the leal Will welcome her Sandy and me, Sandy and me, Sandy and me, Will welcome her Sandy and me, Our mither at hame in the land of the Will welcome her "Sandy and me." The words have the Scotch sincerity and simplicity. A very striking picture of a Scotch lad and lassie adorns the cover. This Scotch song and chorus is written for medium voice and breathes forth the love of a young Scotch couple who came up to the threshold of domestic life with the blessing of Sandy's mother. The regular retail price of this great song is 50 cents per copy. By special arrangements with the publishers, OUR READERS will receive a copy postpaid by sending 25 cents in postage stamps to The globe 72 78 789 89ranH stamps to THE GLOBE MUSIC Co.,No. 1155 Broadway, New York. WHAT I SAW AND HEARD. There are several politicians in town who are looking for work.

The Shreveport, La., Enterprise in commenting on an editorial in The Bee relative to a few disgruntleds starting another paper in this city, says: Wherever you go, wherever you be, you will nd some little Negroes who are trying to make it appear that some man of influence is with them to break up a Negro enterprise. The Bee has been, no doubt, after some of the "Ikes" or has been advocating some things that they oppose; hence, they decide that they will put it out of business. These "Ikes" are not ignoramuses so far as the letter is concerned, but they are a mass of bigotry and selfishness. If their mandates are not obeyed they feel that they have the power and influence to marshal the forces and put anyone out of business who does not bow to their behest. Shreveport is not immune to these Alexes. There have been two or three combinations formed to put The News-Enterprise out of business, but we are still plodding along; the combinations were strangled in their own blood and died. We are not opposed to the starting of other papers, but when the object is to kill us, then we object to dying. Mrs. George M. Warner, formerly Miss Eliza Upshaw, State president of the Woman's Federation of California, is in the city on a visit to her old home. Mrs. Warner received many social attentions while in the city. She left yesterday for Atlantic City and from there she will return home. Seventy-one years after this very speech was made by this awkward young lawyer, a mob of citizens cut the throat of another citizen who was innocent of crime — and then they ran a rope through his gaping wound. And this was done within earshot of the grave of that young lawyer, Abraham Lincoln, who later became sixteenth President of the United States and emancipator of the Negro slave.

The River Queen makes daily trips to Washington Park at 10 a.m., 12 m., and 2, 4, 6, and 8 p.m. For particulars address Lewis Jefferson; General Manager, Seventh and N Streets Wharf. There are 5,499 Negroes employed here in Washington by the Government alone, and these 5,499 Negroes draw salaries aggregating $3,044,404. These more than three millions of dollars are spent right here in Washington, but scattered among the hundreds of tradesmen. Is this amount of money worth bidding for? It certainly is, and not even the largest stores in this city would refuse to get the big end of it did they but realize how much money the Negroes are really spending. Now The Bee is the only Negro publication in this city. It stands without a rival or competitor, and covers the field like a blanket. If a few of the merchants in this city will patronize the advertising columns of The Bee, presenting the attractive bargains they may have, these Negroes — these 5,499 Negroes who draw annually from the Government over three millions of dollars — will assume that by patronizing a publication edited and operated by one of their race that such firms desire and deserve their patronage. And suc'i firms will receive the bulk of these over three millions of dollars received and spent by the Negroes of Washington. What clothing stores, what furniture stores, what dry goods stores and what other lines of business will now make an effort to divert to themselves these over three millions of dollars spent by Washington Negroes by advertising in The Bee? Place your advertising in The Bee and watch these 5,499 appreciative Negroes spend their over three millions of dollars with you. Now is the time to advertise in The Bee, the newspaper that goes into every Negro home in Washington. Remember, merchants of Washington, it's what advertising pays you, not what it costs.

All of Them Have Added Immensely to National Wealth. In the Philippines as in its other land deals, the United States made a good bargain. The census of the Philippines just published shows that the forests in the islands, in which there are 747 varieties of woods, are worth about $3,000,000,000, or double those of the States of Oregon and Washington, which are especially strong in that particular asset. Then there are great deposits of coal, iron and lead, and there are many indications of gold and silver, all of which represent a wealth of several billions more. The Philippines cost us $20,000,000 in the lump sum which we paid to Spain. Possibly the military and naval expenditures on account of the islands cost us $400,000,000 or $500,000,000. But even if these figures were quadrupled we would still be gainers in that speculation in a monetary sense. The Louisiana region, extending from the Mississippi to the Rocky mountains and the Sabine river, cost us $15,000,000, which we paid to France. We gave $5,000,000 to Spain for Florida, which comprised not only the present state of that name, but the lower ends of Alabama and Mississippi and most of the eastern projection of Louisiana. Texas came to us without cost, and so did the Oregon country, comprising the present States of Oregon, Washington and Idaho, and parts of Montana and Wyoming. Through conquest and the payment of $18,250,000 to Mexico we obtained the present States of California, Nevada, Utah, the Territory of Arizona—except below the Gila river—and parts of New Mexico, Colorado and Wyoming. For the region south of the Gila we paid $10,000,000 to Mexico. For Alaska we paid $7,200,000 to Russia. The gold alone which we got from Alaska in 1904, not counting the coal, fish, fur, blubber or other things, amounted to over $10,000,000. In its products Alaska has paid for itself thirty-five times over since we bought it. The Eyeball and Vision. Dr. Alexander Schaefer has been investigating the vision of many animal species and has found that the sie of the exeball is the principal factor of the acuteness of vision. The bovine species has the sharpest sight. The second place is occupied by man and the horse, which have nearly equal visual power; the third by the sheep. Small, and especially small-eyed animals, whether mammals, CHORUS. Mistesso tempo. On ly a word of pralse... to comfort me on the way, Sag mir das Wort so süss,... das mir dein Inn'res ver räl. One little word of love,... repeated from day to day; Sag mir's wenn dich grüss,... Ohl sag es mir früh und spül; Mo-ments would then be sweet,... that I now in grief de-plore; Dann wird mir al-les leicht,... was mir jetzt das Herz be-drückt; Tell me that you love me,... as you did in days of yore... Sag mir dass du mich liebst,... und ich bin für e-wig be-glückt... I KNOW THAT DEEP WITHIN YOUR HEART. 2-2 birds, amphibia or reptiles, have very poor sight. Owls are the only birds that possess great acuteness of vision. It has long been known that dogs have such indistinct vision that as a rule a dog is not able to recognize his master by sight alone. Density of Population. Although there is a certain area of about three and one-half acres on Manhattan island where the density of population is at the rate of 630, 000 to the square mile, yet the city of Paris shows a far greater average density of population than New York, the figures for Paris being 79,300 square miles, and for New York city proper 40,000 a square mile. The average density of Londons population is 37,300 a square mile, and that of Berlin is 67,000. German Savings Banks. The savings banks of Germany have some 19,000,000 pass books out and heir deposits amount to 13,500,000,000 marks ($3,213,000,000). These deposits are practically all guaranteed by the various municipalities of the empire, and the condition forms a bulwark of confidence in the security of private wealth and earnings that cannot be shaken by hard times, panics, bank failures, etc. Flinger Alphabet.

It is sublime to feel and say of another, I need never meet, or speak or write to him; we need not re-enforce ourselves or send tokens of remembrance; I rely on him as on myself; if he did thus or this, I know it was right.—Ralph Waldo Emerson. Owls Under a Ban. The usual crusade is going on against the harmless, necessary owl. The good he does in consuming endless voles, shrews, moles and mice is ignored or forgotten; the evil laid to his charge is exaggerated a hundred-fold. For Lack of Better Reason.

RARE WASHINGTON RELIC. Only One Known to Exist of Six Medallions Made for Lafayette. Mrs. F. Luis Mora of New York city, owns a Washington relic which, so far as is known, is the only one of its kind in existence. It is one of the six medallions which were made to order for General Lafayette. Before Lafayette took leave of the officers of his staff, says the Circle, he had these medallions made in Paris, and presented them to the six officers immediately under him. The five others have disappeared and may have been destroyed. The one in Mrs. Mora's possession is made of cut glass bound by a heavy brim of solid gold, to which it attached a gold ring by which it may be suspended. Between the two layers of glass is a beautifully modelled head of Washington in plaster, silvered. On the reverse is the inscription "Desprez, Rue des Recoleta No. 2, a Paris Wasington." Note the omission of the letter "h" in Washington. The medallion came into Mrs. Mora's possession through her great grandfather, Lewis Compton, to whom it was presented soon after the Revolutionary war. Promoting Smallpok Infection. From the fact that smallpox which is very prevalent in the Philippines at certain seasons disappears when the rains set in, it has been argued that the germs are carried in the air. An additional circumstance which has the same apparent significance is reported from London. Hospital ships, to which smallpox patients are transferred, are anchored in the Thames below the city. It has been noticed that new cases break out more frequently on the shore to which the wind blows than on the other side. Woman Who Gambles. Moralists say that the emotion of gaming makes women ugly. It is not necessary to take the word of the moralists for that. Gaming does not make women ugly, it unmasks them, and it is of that that they must be warned. It is natural enough, since they play passionately, and in playing they forget the world and their faces. So much the worse for those who do as Jezebel. Jean Lorrain has left terrible pictures of old painted faces, the natural condition of which is revealed by the excitement of play. The Postage Stamp Province. Manitoba, which has long been dubbed the "Postage Stamp Province," will soon be in a position to lose her nickname. According to Sir Wilfred Laurler's statement in the Dominion House of Commons, Manitoba, which has hitherto been hemmed in on every side and has, at least on the map, appeared to deserve the nickname she has borne, is at last to be allowed to expand and actually to reach the seaboard. The Sense of Duty A sense of duty pursues us ever. It is omnipresent like the Deity. If we take to ourselves wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, duty performed or duly violated, is still with us, for our happiness or our misery. If we say the darkness shall cover us in the darkness as in the light our obligations are with us yet.—Daniel Webster. Paragon-Making Golf. Golf cannot be played really well, unless the temper is schooled to such a degree that misfortune, accident and a general run of defensive play never lead to passion overflowing the limits of a decorous and restrained equanimity.

"Probably more freight and more passengers are transported in China by the wheelbarrow route than by any other land method," said Alexander F. Georgil of Hongkong, China, who is interested in the shipping trade in the Far East. The wheelbarrow used in China differs from that used in America in the fact that the wheel is set in the center and thus supports practically the entire load, while the handle are supports in part by a strap or rope over the shoulders of the man who operates it. "As a result the coolie in China will transport nearly half a ton on his wheel. Wheelbarrows are much used in the country where the roads are but little developed, and I have heard that passengers sometimes make the entire trip from Shanghai to Pekin, a distance of 600 miles by barrow. "A two passenger barrow will make about 20 miles a day, and the coolie is content with a pay of about twenty cents a day, or an average of about half a cent a mile for each passenger. On the level, well kept streets of the foreign quarters of such cities as Hongkong, Shanghai and Pekin, the wheelbarrow coolie will struggle along with a*load of six or even eight people. Figureheads for Autos. In some parts of the civilized world the fetish or idol which disappeared long ago is coming back, in fact, has already returned to duty as a guardian, protector, mascot or whatever one may be pleased to call it. The new idol is in shape according to the fancy of the automobile owner, who places it on the front of the machine to prevent accidents and arrest. These figureheads are all grotesque in style. the most popular being the image of a police officer with watch in hand, a barking cur and a crowing rooster. When Korea Led the World Few are aware that Korea preceded Europe in inventing three things which have had a vast influence upon the world. Printing with movable types originated in Korea in 1324, 126 years before the invention of the art in Europe.
