OL.XXX NO 45 Tatt A Friend Tatt A Friend Incontrovertable evidence cited by Ralph Tyler, in an interview, to prove the deep interest the President manifests in the race. There is only one way to disapprove bald assertions and groundless and unjust criticism, and that is by producing the facts. Ralph Tyler, in an interview this week enumerates some of the things President Tafts has done which are beneficial to the whole race. He takes the ground that the betterment of the whole race is of more importance than the betterment of a few. The most of President McKinley's and President Rossevelt's colored appointments were not made until long after they had been in a year or two. Mr. Tyler in his interview has this to say: "In judging President Taft's administration, in so far as it has had bearing on the Negro race, not a few Negroes have fallen into the error of considering alone the number and quality of political appointments to date. An equitable representation in the offices, whether North or South, is admittedly the wish and hope of every Negro, and he considers it but the just recognition of his citizenship, and his loyalty to, and observance of the laws of his country. Still, however, it must not be assumed that political appointments alone constitute the one and only basis upon which to predicate criticism of President Taft and his administration. Regrettable though it be, there is a real and a fancied line of distinction between the whites and Negroes of this country. President Taft in his every public utterance has shown that he is out of sympathy both with the real and fancied line of distinction. However, this has not closed his eyes to the existence of this line, nor prevented his attempting an adjustment of conditions which will, he sincerely hopes, eventually destroy every evidence of race distinction and race conflict. That he is sincere, in this matter no Negro who knows him, or correctly judges him will affirm to the contrary. If those Negroes who are impatient for a shower of political fruit from the presidential plum tree will stop to consider that when the Maryland disfranchising law was before the electors of that State for adoption HON. RALPH W. TYLER One of the best informed representatives in the country. President Taft threw the weight of his influence against it, and in vigorous terms denounced it as an unjust discrimination; and that without that influence, probably, every Negro in Maryland today would be disfranchised, perhaps they will conclude the beneficient effect of his influence in Maryland was far more fruitful, for the race, than any number of political appointments. If the Negro critics of the President will recall his Hampton, Howard University, and Wilberforce University speeches, in which he declared unqualifiedly for, and urged vigorously the widest, most varied, and best possible education for the Negro, perhaps, if they honestly and sincerely are interested in race advancement, will conclude that the influence exerted by the President for education will have a vastly more im- THE BEE WASHINGTON portant bearing on the uplift of our ten millions of Negroes than an hundred political appointments of high or low degree could have. If the Negro critics will stop and consider the deep interest shown, and the efforts put forth by President Taft's administration, to preserve the independence, and to provide for the permanency and progress of the Liberian republic—thus affording an opportunity for the Negro to show and develop his capacity for self-government, perhaps they will assume, and rightly too, that the cause of the Negro is a matter of deep concern with the President. If the Negro critics, and those seekers for the temporary elevation to be found in political appointments will recall that the President, in his annual message to Congress, advocated the holding of a semi-centennial celebration of the emancipation of the American Negro from slavery, in order that the race might show in concrete and assembled form the wonderful progress made in fifty years of freedom, perhaps they will agree to give him the credit he has earned for a sincere desire for race uplift. And also it must not be lost sight of, when in forming a judgment of President Taft, that in every measure, policy or legislative enactment recommended by him to benefit the people of the United States as a whole the Negro, as a part, must necessarily be benefited, and for this we have a right, in common with the whites, to feel grateful to him. The fact that the President retained his membership on the Jeanes Fund Board, a board having the management and disposition of a fund for Negro Education, although he had retired from active participation in all his many societies and boards; save the Yale corporation, makes it inconceivable that he can be regarded in any other light than one who aims to be a friend. And that he takes a keen interest in the work of the Jeanes Fund Board is bers meet with him at the White House last December. That President Taft is desirous of having, and means to see that the Negroes receive a fair and equitable political representation no one who is informed doubts. Not because of any possible bearing it may have on his future political fortunes, but because he believes it their just right and due. But Rome was not built in a day, and no administration was ever able to fulfill all its promises within a year from date. President Taft is sincere in his desire, and aim to reduce race friction to the minimum, and increase the harmony between the races to the maximum. Criticism is not likely to dissuade him from his purpose to conserve, first, the interests of the whole people, without reference to race or color, and secondly to conceive the interests of the classes without prejudicing the cause of the latter. Before criticising the dispensing power the race should at least, affect consistency. His appointment of Mr Emmett J. Scott, an ideally balanced and splendidly equipped man, as one of the Liberian Commissioners, was, without just cause, criticized by some members of the race, but not by the whites. The first, and most important term appointment made by the President was that of Robert H. Terrell to a place on the municipal WASHINGTON, D. C., SATURDAY MARCH 26 1910 M. B. bench, and that appointment, although a reappointment, was made in the race of strenuous opposition. And strange to say the opposition was entirely on the part of Negroes, the people he thought to serve and please. And that opposition was not based on any lack, in Judge Terrell, of ability, equipment or character, but was prompted by a mean jealous spirit. If appointments of Negroes to office must be met with opposition from within the race the race is, at least, inconsistent if it expects white men to be unanimously in the affirmative for Negro appointments. Taken as a whole there is much in President Taft's first year for encouragement for the race, and the specific cases I mention stand as incontrovertable proof of his friendship for the race." Tuskegee's Endowment GREAT MEN HELPING TUSKE-GEE We, the undersigned, are glad to permit the use of our names in aiding the Trustees and officers of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, of Tuskegee, Alabama, to secure a larger and more adequate endowment. We feel that the results accomplished by the Tuskegee School, not only in making the Negro more useful, but in the interest of the whole country, justify an appeal to the public that shall increase the endowment to a figure where the Principal, Booker T. Washington, will not be compelled to spend so much of his time in getting of money to meet the current expenses. Y. M. C. A. SECURES OFFER The members of the Colored Men's Branch of the Y. M. C. A. are very happy. After many efforts and struggles they have finally succeeded in getting a proposition offered to them, though they hope to finish and furnish the new Y. M. C. A. building on 12th street. The offer was secured in February, but the officers are just now prepared to make it public. The Y. M. C. A. has arranged a fine programme for Ladies' Day on Easter Sunday. Prof. Kelly Miller will speak on the subject, "Newness of Life." Mr. George Otis Smith, president of the Y. M. C. A. in Washington, and Mr. Wm. K. Cooper, general secretary, and Mr. W. A. Hernton, International secretary of the Y. M. C. A. will make some remarks. Miss Charlotte Wallace will sing a vocal solo, and the Lyric Orchestra will furnish special music. Ladies Day on Easter Sunday last year was very popular and the True Reformers' Hall could not hold the friends gathered. Last Sunday, an audience of 350 men listened to Judge Norris give a lecture on Lincoln. It was very fine indeed. INTERCOLLEGIATE DEBATE Great interest is being manifested in the Intercollegiate Debate which is to take place in the Andrew Rankin Chapel, Friday, April first, between Fisk University and Howard University. This is the first time that these two schools rave met in debate and keen rivalry exists between them. The subject to be discussed is resolved "That the United States should have an Income Tax." One of the largest crowds is expected to attend. Remember the date. The date for the annual appearance, (the "Black Patti") show in "A Trip to Africa" has been announced for March 29, 30 and 31. Madame Slasier is Queen and "Jelly" Jean-Karl with others will deal out the fun and music in real jungle style to all those who attend.

Washington, will not be compelled to spend so much of his time in getting of money to meet the current expenses. Without going into details at present, we wish to state that it is the aim and wish of the Trustees at present to increase the endowment fund to three million dollars in the near future, and to secure $300,000 of this amount during the present school year. We are glad to add that a portion of the $300,000 has already been secured, and we earnestly hope that the remainder may be provided before June rst. William H. Taft, President of the United States.

HOWARD UNIVERSITY NOTES The oratorical contest among students of the Academy on Friday evening, April 8, 1910, in the University Chapel promises to be one of the most enthusiastic and warmly contested events of the year. Eight young men will contend for honors in elocation. They are Messrs. Elmer T. Green, Archibald A. Derricks, Chas. H. Hubert, James W. Jackson, George Hall, David A. Blake, John H. Mosley and Willard L. Grinnage. Some of the best musical talent of the University will appear in attractive numbers. The rendition by the Howard University Choir of DuBois's Seven Last Words on Sunday afternoon, March 20,, was an event par excellence to people of musical taste. The high appreciation on the part of the members of the University and their friends of the splendid work of the choir was evidenced by the fact that a half hour before the exercises began it was impossible to gain admittance to the Chapel, and many had to be turned away. The solo parts were sung by Miss Mabel E. Diggs, soprano, Mr. Norman H. Johnson, tenor, and Mr. O. D. Jones, barytone. Miss Maude Young presided at the piano. The reappearance of Miss Childers after a long and dangerous illness gave pleasure to all and her spirited and effective work as conductor indicated that she has lost none of her musical enthusiasm and magnetic personality. Her efforts and those of Miss Young called forth unqualified praise. After the service President Thirkield extended to the visitors and friends an invitation to inspect the handsome new Carnegie Library. Hundreds gladly availed themselves of this opportunity. A triangular debate among Howard, Fiske, and Atlanta Universities occurs on Friday evening, April I, on the subject, Is an income tax desirable? Howard meets Fisk in Washington in the University Chapel; Fisk meets Atlanta at Fisk; and Howard meets Atlanta at Atlanta: All on the same date and with the same subject, each school having two teams, one affirmative and the other negative. THE SELECT EXCURSION Mr. Curtis, wife of Dr. A. M. Curtis has informed The Bee that she had nothing to do with getting up of the special select excursion to Tuskegee, Ala., that the matter had been suggested in her house by Mr. Emmett J. Scott and placed in charge of Mr. Ralph W. Tyler. Mrs. Curtis further said that the Committee could only secure pledges from eighteen persons, not a sufficient number for the railroad. The railroad-would not carry the excursion party unless there were twenty persons guaranteed. Dr. A. M. Curtis, his wife, Mrs. Williston and probably one or two others were the only persons to leave for Tuskegee. BETHEL LITERARY Mr. Henry L. Curtis of New York, attorney at law, and a brother of Dr. A. M. Curtis of this city, will be the attraction at Bethel Literary next week. The subject of his address is: "The Hand of God in the History of the Negro." Miss Louise Pollen will sing a solo. SONG SERVICE AT HOWARD An immense crowd was present at the song service rendered by the choir of Howard University on last Sunday. Long before four o'clock the crowd began to pour in, and by the time of the processional entrance could not be obtained in the vestibule. The choir rendered very effectively the cantata entitled Seven Last Words, by DuBois and responded immediately to every move of the director, Miss Child s, under whose efficient leadership the choir has rendered such excellent music. The words of Miss Young, the accompanist, is deserving of the greatest praise. PARAGRAPHIC NEWS By Miss G. B. Maxfield Senator Tillman is able to leave the city for his home in South Carolina. The National Industrial Training School at Durham, N. C., will open July 5th. Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, the great female Baptist advocate is at home sick. The New York disclaims any meaning of its correspondent's attack on Postmaster-General Hitchcock. The new judge of the Police Court will be announced in a few days. The President has not made up his mind to appoint a United States attorney yet. The select excursion of 20 to Tuskegee, Ala., was called off. Mrs. Curtis disclaims the responsibility of attempting to get it up. A men's club was organized at the 15th Street Presbyterian Church Monday night. Dr. S. L. Corrothers will be the next Bishop of the A. M. E. Zion Connection. It is reported that Hon. John C. Dancy will enter the real estate business after he retires from office. A new candidate has come to the front for the assistant registership of the Treasury Department. A representative of Maryland colored Republicans will be named for a bureau office. Rev. Clair of Asbury A. M. E. Church will begin to build shortly The Alley Missionary workers are on the increase. William Moore, a graduate of Cornell University, and for several years instructor in botany, has accepted a chair in the British agricultural College in Africa. Chicago is planning to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the nomination of Abraham Lincoln to the Presidency. W. S. Wilton, now ninety years of age, saw the Halley's Comet seventy-five years ago, from a hilltop in Michigan. He expects to go to the same hilltop. DR. RICHARDSON Dr. W. S. Richardson, no doubt one of the best known citizens in the country and the pride of the Republican party in this city, will be urged as the successor of Mr. Sidney DR. W. S. RICHARDSON Choice of the Republican party of the District of Columbia as National Committeeman. Becker, who has been named as the collector of the port of Georgetown, National Committeeman for the District of Columbia. No-better man could have been selected. Dr. Richardson is popular with all factions of the Republican party in this city and he is the man who could unite all factions. There is already a movement on foot to reorganize the District Republicans. The Bee doesn't know of a better man to undertake the work. The appointment of Mr. Becker will necessarily relieve him as National Committeeman. The African Miniug and Real Estate Company is offering an unusual opportunity to investors.

Love of Gae and Adventure an Inher Red Trait—Ambitious to Find Pole Ever Since He Was Young Naval Officer. Johnstown, Pa.—The movement from Maine to Cambria county, in the fifties, which brought to this district the prominent Barker and other families, also made it possible for Cresson, nearly the highest point in the county, to claim the honor of having been the Mythplace of Lienst. Robert Edmund Peary, most daring and most persistent Arctic explorer of modern times and claimant for the title of Discoverer of the Pole. The father of Peary was not bothered about polar discovery. The building of "shook shops" and the manufacture and shipment of shook and staves—to many distant points was his life work. Maine afforded ample opportunity for the lumber industry with its vast timber acreage, but for some reason the elder Peary thought Cambria county, Pa., also a virgin wooded land, better suited for his purpose, so he located at a point now generally admitted to be on the outskirts of Cresson. Peary's naval career sheds an interesting light on the question of inherited traits and predilections. The elder Peary, an Englishman, transplanted to Maine, came from forbears who loved the sea. For some reason he did not share this fondness for the bounding wave and deliberately left the shore line for a life far in the interior, away from even inland lakes. But after his father's death Robert M. Peary, then a little boy, was taken back to Maine by his mother, and as a result of his life on the coast and his education the youngster instinctively went back to the life of his ancestors.

Lent. Peary's distinct ambition to discover the pole is known to have been born in him as a result of the Greeley expedition and its relief. He was then a young officer in the navy, as were a number of those prominent in the work of exploration at that time, and hence the glory which now shines upon the water arm of Uncle Sam's military service by reflection. It is strange how soon we are forgotten. People who knew Lleout. Peary's father are not now certain of his Christian name. Charles H. Peary of Chest Springs, a cousin of the explorer and who spells his name Perry, calls the lieutenant's father Charles Peary. Ex-Judge A. V. Barker of Ebensburg is certain his name was George. It has been suggested that perhaps his name was George Charles Peary. However that may be, Mr. and Mrs. Peary on coming into this county located in the woods near what is now Cresson, where Peary established a shook shop. A house standing on the turn of the road from Cresson to Loretto, about 100 yards from the town, is now generally accepted by the people of the county as occupying part of the site of the original Peary home, and is said to actually include a fragment of the old building. It was in that house that Robert M. Peary was born, and there, two or three years later, his father died. Frank O'Hara, an old farmer living in Munster township, recalls Peary's birth clearly and tells a story of the elder Peary sending'a messenger in a conveyance to a point some distance away to fetch a physician. "Kill the horse if you have to," Mr. Peary is alleged to have said to the driver, "but get the doctor here in a hurry." And it's another reminiscence of O'Hara that the elder Peary, who died at Gallitzin, was buried amid a blizzard, "That was like the north pole itself," says the aged Munster man. Peary was buried at Cape Elizabeth. Me The only basis for the claim that Peary was born at Chest Springs is the residence there of his cousin. Charles H. Peary's father, James Peary, came from Maine about the same time as George Peary did, but instead of locating at Cresson, settled at Chest Springs and there his children have resided ever since. George Peary, fortunately, left enough of an estate to make it possible for Mrs. Peary to educate her son thoroughly and he finally found his way to the Naval academy. SERVICE HAND HANDLER.

Italian Civil Engineer Invents the "Psephograph" to Foll Ballet Box Stuffers. Rome.—European ballot box stuffers, who are as expert as any of Boss Tweed's henchmen ever were in the palmiest days of corruption in New York politics, soon will find their occupation gone. An Italian civil engineer, Signor Gogiano, has invented a voting machine which, it is claimed, is absolutely ungetatable" and incorruptible. He calls this invention the psephograph. So complete and sat TAXABLES CONTRACTS INDEX VOTAND New Voting Machine. factory has this machine proved that it had been adopted by both the Italian and the French governments. The psephograph is a little over a yard in height and is provided with as many openings as there are candidates in the field. The voter presents his card to an official who has charge of the voting booth and receives a small metal chip about the size of an American dime. He is then given permission to enter the booth and steps behind two screens which render him invisible to both the public and the overseers alike. There he finds the voting machine facing him. After carefully scanning the different slots, above which is a space containing the names of the candidates, he selects the one he wishes to vote for and drops his chip in the slot corresponding to it. The fall of the chip causes an interior lover to rise, this movement making the number of persons voting appear on a little tablet on the outside, which is always visible, and in the interior registering the vote for the chosen candidate. When the voting is over the officer in charge lifts aside the metal covering on which is registered the number of persons voting and the number of votes obtained by each candidate is revealed. By this system 37,000 votes were cast in two hours at a recent election at Turin. GETS A GOLDEN CROWN Miss Mabel Boardman Honored by Italy for Aiding Victims of the Earthquake. Boston.—The Marquis de Montag-Harl, Italian charge d'affairs at Washington, has remitted to Miss Mabel Boardman of Manchester, Mass., and Washington, a golden crown, the gift of the Italian government in recognition of her services as a member of A. Miss Boardman. the American Red Cross society to the victims of the recent Italian earthquake. The crown, a reproduction of the ancient Roman civic crown, is composed of oak leaves and acorns, made of solid gold. It is inclosed in a typical Roman box of leather, which is adorned by the royal coat-of-arms in gold. On the crown is engraved: "To Miss Mabel Boardman of the Red Cross, from the Italian Government, as a Token of Gratitude, 1909-1909." Miss Boardman, as the executive head of the Red Cross society, recently announced her intention to devote her life entirely to its interests. She is the sister-in-law of Senator Crane and was a member of the famous Taft Philippine party. While visiting Japan she saw the evidence of the work of the Red Cross in the Russo-Japanese war and was impressed with the boundless possibilities of the movement. She is an intimate friend of both President and Mrs. Taft. She Won't Waste the Rope. Give a woman plenty of rope and she will hang—her washing on it. Mme.

Place your advertising in The Bee and watch these 5,499 Negroes spend their over three millions of dollars with us. Now is the time to advertise in The Bee, the newspaper into every Negro home in Washington. Remember, mercy Washington, it's what advertising pays you, not what it costs. 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 building 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 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 such 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.

TYLER On the front page of this week's issue, the country's attention is invited to an interview that Auditor Ralph W. Tyler had with a representative of The Bee, which in the opinion of this paper is a clear cut exposition of the policies of President Taft and his administration of Colored Americans. Mr. Tyler takes the ground that it is too early to criticise the President so far as he having not made more colored appointments thus far. Mr. Tyler thinks and believes that, the colored man wants something more important than presidential appointments. That is, he means that the masses of colored Americans have been disfranchised and other attempts have been made to disfranchise them in other states and that the President's interference and condemnation of these alleged disfranchising acts by state legislatures are more important to colored Americans than the appointment to office. Mr. Tyler is undoubtedly right in this particular. The President, as Mr. Tyler asserts has been and is still a friend of colored Americans. Every act of the President, every utterance that he has made fully demonstrates his fidelity and friendship. His utterances have been of the most friendly and beneficial character. His advice, if heeded, ought to be beneficial to the colored people. The critics of the President forgot that no man has done more to uphold the rights of colored Americans than he has. Every colored man cannot hope to be appointed to office. While the appointment of two or three colored men would probably satisfy a few, what must be done for the thousands who are being disfranchised by their enemies? Must these thousands be made to suffer to satisfy the office thirst of a selfish few? Mr. Tyler speaks like a philosopher. He reasons for the masses and not for the few. No act of the President has shown in the least, that he is inimical to the colored Americans. But on the contrary, the President has appealed to the reason of those who would destroy Negro manhood. The President has given to the South everything that has been asked. And for what purpose? Why to create a more friendly feeling between the two races. If the South refuses to extend the olive branch of peace to an oppressed race of people, the President is not to blame. He has done his duty to man. Just what the next step will be in the event of a total failure, wait and see. The outbreak for colored Americans in this country, is brighter today than it has ever been. Existing conditions in the South show a most friendly relationship between the two races the critics of the President to the contrary notwithstanding. Mr. Tyler is correct in his Aside from the Jean fund to which the President is wedded; just look what he is doing for Tuskegee, Wilberforce and other institutions for the education of the colored youth. Is a healthy feeling among the races existing in the South? Look what a monument colored Americans are building at Durham, N. C., under the wise presidency of Dr. James E. Shepard. See what aid the white people of Durham is giving to this institution and indeed throughout the entire South the better elements of white Americans are extending the olive branch of peace and help to the oppressed colored people. These are a few of the fruits of Mr. Taft's policy. Instead of the critics of the President clamoring for office, let them contribute their money and influence if they have any to these institutions that are being erected for the races. What have these men contributed toward higher or industrial education? My Tyler's interview should be copied by the entire American press. OPPOSITION IN THE RACE It is getting to that point, it seems, where a colored man, if he secures appointment to a Presidential office he need not anticipate opposition to confirmation from whites, but must expect it from his own race. Henry Lincoln Johnson, recently appointed by President Taft as Recorder of Deeds found plain, uninterrupted sailing, in so far as the whites were concerned, but it was different with his own race and people. He found that the great and good Bishop Gains of the A. M. E. Church, along with a man named Graves, of Atlanta, had filed charges against him, and that they attempted to defeat his confirmation. They failed, however, as they should have done. Negroes are continually clamoring for appointments, and just as soon as one is made they proceed to knock and try to defeat it. They tried to defeat Judge Terrell's confirmation, and they tried to defeat Henry Lincoln Johnson. And, we suppose, they will try to defeat every other one made, continuing it until the appointing power will get tired trying to please the race with appointments. Every time Negroes try to defeat the confirmation of another Negro the roll of the guilty ones ought to be called, just as The Bee has called the roll of Mr. Johnson's dog-in-the-manger enemies.

The Bee congratulates Dr. Shepard and wishes him much success in his new field of labor. In another column of The Bee will be seen and read with interest the programme. A DUSKY "BISHOP" SEEMS LIKELY TO GET CAUGHT Police Have Complaints About His Financial Collections - Has Been Here Before Chief Gunn has received a complaint against the Rt. Rev. Philip A. Hubert, D. D., who has been soliciting subscriptions to the United Christian Church, Inc., of Philadelphia, Penn. One of the complaints came from William Edwards, sexton of the Center Church, but no warrant was sworn out for the man's arrest. It is said that he has made fresuent visits to Hartford, usually just before an election, and has collected for other institutions. Once he sought a contribution of $100 from Mayor Hooker for the Oklahoma Industrial School which he said he was authorized to represent. He didn't get the $100 and threatened to break the mayor. He hasn't carried out the threat. Perhaps he forgot it, as he showed up the other day and asked for $25 the mayor was alleged to have promised him. The mayor's memory was bad and the $25 was not forthcoming. Postmaster Frank A. Hagarty gave the man a small contribution and the bishop showed to other persons a check for $50 signed by E. J. Lake, who, he said, was none other than the ex-lieutenant-governor of this commonwealth. The latter said he had given the colored gentleman no such check. As yet the police have not located the dusky bishop but if they do he will be asked to account for his connections. Save 25% to 35% Don't misunderstand our offer.

[1] FIRST OFFERING This is of importance to YOU and and every Negro in the land! Why? Because WASHINGTON IS THE SEAT OF OUR NATION'S GOVERNMENT. The eyes of the world are on Washington... One-third of Washington's population is Negro. If all the Negroes in Washington were colonized in one place they would make a city larger than Richmond, Virginia. There are seven theatres in Washington, supported by a white population of 241,923 and a few foolish Negroes willing to be colonized in the galleries, the only place to which the Negro is admitted. THERE IS NOT A SINGLE FIRSTCLASS OFFICE BUILDING in the city of Washington, where a colored professional or business man or woman, and there are hundreds of them in the National Capital, can obtain business quarters. JUST THINK OF IT! 100,000 enterprising, thrifty, intelligent people, through race prejudice, swept completely out of the business district of Washington; 100,000 genteel, prosperous, amusement loving people deprived of every form of theatrical entertainment unless willing to submit to the most humiliating conditions. Every colored man and woman IN Washington. Every colored man and woman VISITING Washington. Every colored man and woman in America, familiar with the true state of the Negro in Washington, realizes that a theatre, store, and office building, operated by the Negroes, for the Negroes, is A NECESSITY. The welfare of the race demands it. The self-respect of the race demands it. Any enterprise resting its hope of success upon a NECESSITY is bound to be a SUCCESS. A THEATRE AND OFFICE BUILDING IN THE CITY OF WASHINGTON, built by Negroes, for the use of Negroes, is a NECESSITY. Appreciating to the utmost that fact— THE LINCOLN MEMORIAL BUILDING COMPANY proposes to erect in the Central Business District of the city of Washington a magnificent theatre, seating capacity 2,500, and a store and office building of splendid proportion, adequate in every respect to meet the requirements of prosperous professional and business men. The enterprise is exceptional in two respects: First—It is absolutely safe. Second—It promises enormous possibilities as a money maker. Features that must appeal to every man or woman with a few dollars to invest, and you are such a man or woman or you would not have read this far. THE LINCOLN MEMORIAL BUILDING COMPANY has surveyed the field carefully, and it KNOWS that hundreds of tenants are available for the offices, that dozens of merchants are ready to rent the stores, and that 100,000 people are anxious to patronize the theatre exclusively, and make it the best A.

ADVISORY BOARD ELAMATION ING COMPANY is ENTIRELY NEGRO. Not one dollar of white capital will be accepted in exchange for its securities. There is not one dollar of Promotion Stock consequently there is no watered stock. Every holder of stock from the President down must pay at LEAST $10.00 per share for every share of stock allotted to him. This does not mean that the price of stock will REMAIN at $10.00 per share. It is $10.00 NOW. It will advance in price far beyond $10.00, just as railroad and public utility stock goes to several times par. So will the Lincoln Memorial Building Company's stock go to several times its present value. This means that a share of stock costing $10.00 NOW will be worth $40.00 when stock goes to four times par. Estimates show that the Company's earnings will be 20 per cent, and that is four times par, with every dollar invested in Real Estate. THE BEST in the city of Washington, where values are as firmly fixed as the Rock of Gibraltar. This does not mean that the price of stock will remain at $10.00 per share. It is $10.00 NOW. If the Company, as it is estimated, pays 20 per cent, a $10.00 share of stock will be worth $40.00. If it pays 40 per cent, a single share of $10.00 stock will be worth $80.00. Just as railroads and public utility stocks increase in value, so will the Lincoln Memorial Building Company's stock increase in price. The first allotment of stock at $10.00 a share is being rapidly subscribed, and the next allotment will be $12.50 per share, to which point it will soon be advanced; therefore, you are urged to avail yourself of the present opportunity to get in as completely on the ground floor as any one of the Company's Directors are. The Company's Directors, by the way, are men of sterling worth, integrity and honor, as you are possibly aware, or can easily ascertain through any COMMERCIAL AGENCY. Their names are at the top of this page. They have unbounded faith in the future of the Company. They have invested THEIR hard earned money in it, and they advise you to invest YOUR money side by side with theirs. DCN'T WAIT UNTIL IT IS TOO LATE. The price of stock is $10.00 per share, payable $1.00 down and $1.00 per month for nine months upon each share subscribed for. Before you lay this paper down cut out the coupon on the lefthand corner of this page and mail to-day, with remittance for first payment, if for but one share of stock.

It is not necessary to give up our plious faith in the superior political morality of our forefathers when we learn that even in the first generation of Bostonians was, found a ballot stuffer. The same record which reveals this break records also its instant repudiation and punishment. It was on the fourteenth day of January, 1655, 25 years after the settlement of Boston, according to the qualnt records preserved of the king's chapel, that a referendum was held as to whether a part of the land should be alienated. The old chronicle runs: "The Inhabitants proceeded to bring in their votes; and when the Selectmen were receiving 'em at the Door of the Hall they observed one of the Inhabitants, viz., John Pigeon, to put in about a dozen with the word Yea wrote on all of 'em, being charged with so doing, he acknowledged it, and was thereupon Ordered by the Moderator to pay a Fine of Five Pounds for putting in the settlement of Boston as PATENT DRAWING AFTING,DETAILING,TRAC BLUE PRINTING cording to the more than One Vote according to Law, and the Moderator thereupon declared to the Inhabitants that they must draw and bring in their Votes again in Manner as before directed, and the Inhabitants accordingly withdrew and the Votes being brought in and sorted it appeared that there were Four Hundred and two votes and that there was two hundred and five Yeas and one hundred and ninety-seven Nays." — Boston Transcript. BITTER WAS THE AWAKENING Sleeping Owner of Millions Brought Back to Earth by Stern Yet Modest Demand. I dreamed last night that beginning with $100 I pyramided my bets on the stock market so that in a little while I had $2,000,000,000," said one of the artist colony in West Sixty-seventh street yesterday. "A crowd of people came to me and besought me to cease speculating. They pointed out that I had more money than I could ever spend and if I kept on I would own all there was in the world. I replied that I wanted a billion dollars more for my own use and that I proposed with the two billion I already had to establish a great institution where all the artists and writers and sculptors might work free from pecuniary annoyances, and raise the standard of beauty in all the arts throughout the world. The last man who came to beg me to stop making money was my attorney. I turned a deaf ear to his entreaties and finally he sternly demanded of me the two dollars and a half that I had borrowed from him last week. Then I woke up."—New York press. ```markdown ``` OFFERS This Offer of The Washington Be Will Appeal Especially to Women SELF-TIGHTENING SHEARS B. HAMILTON SAVER GO.

Picturesque Feature of the Battleship is Being Supplanted By a Structure of Steel. Boston.—One of the most picturesque features of the battleship is rapidly on its way to the scrap heap. The military mast, that heavy steel column of which most ships of Uncle Sam's navy carried a pair, fore and aft, which had fighting tops from the platforms of which machine guns could be used to pop away at torpedo boats or like craft, is being regarded as obsolete. The military mast was considered not so very long ago, a formidable feature of the equipment of a battleship. Now, it is being supplanted by a skeleton mast, a stranded structure of steel sufficiently open in its inter- New and Old Masts of the Battleship Missouri. lacing of supports to permit of the least possible damage from the shots of the enemy. It has been shown by experiments that this form of structure will stand the greatest amount of puncture from shots before it collapses, and so the navy department is replacing the more or less solid structures with this grapevine arrangement. The new mast, while rising to the height of the topmast of the old style, is only about one-fifth of the weight, averaging about 7,000 pounds, as against 34,000 pounds of most masts of the old style. The height of the new masts from the water to the look- out is about 120 feet, or approximately the same as the old ones, but the "eye" of the ship is infinitely safer on the top of the new masts than it was on the top of the old wooden topmasts. The illustration very adequately shows the masts on the battleship Missouri recently fitting at the Charlestown navy yard, the foremast being the new model and the mainmast the old. NEGRO AT THE NORTH POLE Matthew Henson, Peary's Valet, Proves That Black Man Can Stand Coldest Weather. New York.—The general supposition that the negro can't stand cold weather and is a warm climate person only, is refuted in the case of Matthew Henson, Commander Robert E. Peary's personal servant. Among the interesting announcements connected with the north pole discovery was the statement that Henson was the only civilized person with Peary when the top ```markdown ``` Matthew Henson. of the world was discovered. Henson, in fact, says it was he who raised the stars and stripes at the "great rail" and that he taught the Eskimos to cheer, when the American flag was unfurled. Walter Kitchener at Disadvantage. Gen. Walter Kitchener, who is stationed at Bermuda, is a brother of Lord Kitchener, and this fact has worked against him rather than for him. He is considered a clever soldier in England, and at the time of the war in South Africa it was thought that he would receive an important post that would become vacant. He was passed over and his brother, Lord Kitchener, was asked for the reason. "It should have gone to my brother," he said, "but if I had given it to him everybody would have yelled 'favoritism' at the top of their volces, so I picked someone else." Walter Kitchener was expected at Cape Town at a railway station once when an old lady rushed in excitedly and asked at what platform Lord Kitchener was expected to arrive. No one seemed to know anything about his visi- until it finally dawned upon the staff officer that she had heard of the arrival of his brother. He informed her that this was only Kitchener that was expected. "I call it a shame that this man, whoever he may be, should be allowed to use Lord Kitchener's name; the government ought to do something about it," she said, stalking majestically out of the station. "PEGGOTTY" HUT A SAD RUIM Yarmouth Scenes Which Dickens Described in His Story of "David Copperfield." London.—A Yarmouth hundred of herring really counts 122, and in many ways the inhabitants of the old town are credited with an open-handed genosity. Peggotty told David Copperfield, you remember, that it was the finest place in the universe, to which the boy replied that "a mound or two might have improved it, and also that if the land had been a little more separated from the sea and the town and the tide had not been quite so much mixed up, like toast and water, it would have been much nicer." But All that Is Left of Peggotty's Hut. presently, when he got into the streets and "smelt the fish and pitch, and oakum, and tallow, and saw the sailors walking about and the carts jingling up and down over the stones." Young Copperfield admitted that he had done Yarmouth an injustice. The remains of Peggotty's hut may still be seen, sad and forlorn, alas! but suggestive nevertheless of the quaint home where David was so happy, of Peggotty's jokes, of little Emily's pretty ways and of the dolefulness of Mrs. Gummidge. There are many ancient buildings that have stood the test of time better than the queer boat-home of Peggotty. Formerly Yarmouth was one of the principal ports of England, and its merchant adventurers enjoyed the patronage of Queen Elizabeth. Its Tolhouse claims to be the oldest municipal building in the kingdom. WILSON WILL GO TO MEXICO Minister to Belgium to Succeed Ambassador Thompson in Neighboring Republic. Washington.—Henry Lane Wilson, American minister to Belgium, will soon be officially named to succeed David E. Thompson as ambassador to Mexico. Mr. Wilson has been notified of his appointment by the state department and is clearing up his business at the legation in Brussels pending his departure for his new post. Mr. Wilson, who is a native of Crawfordsville, Ind., has been in the diplomatic service since 1897, when he was appointed minister to Chile. He Henry Lane Wilson. became minister to Belgium in 1905. Before entering the diplomatic service Mr. Wilson was successively editor, lawyer and banker. He is a graduate of Wabash college. Concert givers in Germany find it more and more difficult to get an audience. Free tickets by no means insures one. A Berlin journal tells how audiences at recitals (Berlin often has more than 50 of them in one week) are apt to be made up. Miss N., who plays or sings, sends out about 200 tickets, some of them to prominent persons. One of these is the wife of Prof. X. She kindly accepts the ticket, but has no intention of attending the concert, so she gives them to her dressmaker, who in turn bestows them upon her assistants, who probably may go to the concert. In one case it was found that of 200 free tickets only 47 were used.—Musical America. Pulsation and Respiration. Before birth the average number of pulsations per minute is 150; in the newly born, 140 to 130; during the first year, 130 to 115; second year, 115 to 100; seventh year, 90 to 85; fourteenth year, 85 to 80; adult life, 80 to 70; old age, 70 to 60. At birth there are 44 respirations in one minute; at five years of age, 26; from 15 to 20, 20; from 20 to 25, 18.7; from 25 to 30, 16; from 30 to 50, 18.1. The average ratio which the number of respirations bears to the number of pulsations in a given time is $1:4\frac{1}{2}$. The temperature of a healthy human adult averages from 98.4 to 96.6, but 97.5 and 99 F. are within normal. W. C.
