VOL.XXXI NO3 Judge Terrell Wins Judge Terrell Wins HIS ENEMIES KNOCKED OUT John R. Francis Makes a Manly Defense of a Worthy Move—J. H. N. Waring Ignominiously Defealed. Rev. Grimkie Gets Warm in the Collar and Tells President Thirkield What Ought to Be Done Strong Endorsement of Judge Terrell. For some time J. H. N. Waring, formerly principal of a school in Baltimore, Md., has been waging a war against Judge Robert H. Terrell to prevent him from being a member of the faculty of the law department of Howard University. He solicited and obtained the aid of Rev. Frank Grimkie, Richards and others. The final fight took place last Saturday in the chamber of Judge Barnard of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia. Some time ago Judge Terrell was appointed temporarily and he has made one of the best lecturers in the law school. Even Prof. Layton, dean of the department has expressed his gratification. Dr. John R. Francis, no doubt, one of the most level-headed physicians in this city, championed the cause of Judge Terrell and successfully led the fight to victory. Mr. Waring lined up a large number of disgusted individuals last Saturday in and around the chamber of Judge Barnard, who were patiently heard by the Committee of Trustees of the University. Dr. John R. Francis led the fight for Judge Terrell. He said among other things that Judge Terrell's record would stand the test of his traducers. He spoke of his record as chief clerk to the auditor of the navy; his record as principal of the High School; his deportment at JUDGE ROBERT H. TERRELL the bar and his record as Municipal judge. All of these positions were filled with honor and distinction declared Dr. Francis. Through the delivery of this eloquent appeal he was listened to with marked attention. Rev. Grimkie read a long essay on morals and concluded with a thrust at Dr. Thirkield which was not received with approval by the committee. He thought another man ought to be president of Howard University because he favored the appointment of Judge Terrell. Dozens of letters, endorsing Judge Terrell were received from some of the leading ministers in this city, namely Dr. S. L. Corrothers, Rev. James H. Howard, Dr. Walter H. Brooks, Rev. Rivers, Rev. Sterling N. Brown, the judges of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia and of the bar. All spoke in the highest terms of Judge Terrell. After the opposition had its innings a vote was taken which resulted in almost the unanimous election of Judge Terrell. Dr. Francis' Sarcasm At the conclusion of the paper read by Dr. Grimkie, Dr. Francis arose and said that he had never heard a better paper on moral ethics than the one read by Dr. Grimkie. He should read it to a Sunday School or deliver it as one of his sermons on a Sunday to his congregation. The remarks of Dr. Francis seemed to be unanimously applauded. The Secret of the Fight.

AMAN SHOW, NOT GO WHERE HE IS NOT WANTED B. WISE F. M. GOWAN that Dr. Booker T.

Not one accusation could in the slightest degree be sustained. They all made themselves ridiculous in the eyes of the intelligent men present and especially those who are influential, and friends of Howard University.

Howard University is a negro institution and should be largely if not entirely controlled by negroes. It is strangely true that there is a decided purpose to keep the management in the hands of the whites. Do our friends mean to tell us that after 45 years of freedom we are incompetent to govern our institutions? How can we be tested except by giving us the opportunity? It is by assuming responsibility that development comes. Take the great church organizations this country and now they have an strengthened under self government. The brain and brawn of the negro race is in the great Methodist and Baptist churches. Wherever the whites have done the managing and taken from the people a voice in their own affairs, there has been nothing but stagnation and death. The freak of new buildings at Howard University is no assurance that the management is conducting the school to the highest interest of the race. Take the matter of trustees for the university and see how largely the board is made up of white men. We believe in first honoring the alumni of the institution with the positions as trustees of the school, and after due recognition, of alumni the great leaders of the church should not be ignored. The disregard of the great church organizations of this country in the management of Howard University will mean its downfall. No school can live without students and the students must come from these great organizations. The little so-called educated churches will never furnish students for a great university. The plan to pay no heed to what the people want must be changed. We demand better treatment. When vacancies occur on the Board of Trustees why should not colored men be found rather than white men? There is at present a vacancy in the Theological Seminary of Howard University. Why not promote the one colored man in that department? If precedent is followed, a white man will be sought, or if a colored man is placed at all it will be in an inferior position or possibly an unknown colored man without any regard to the constituency of the school. We are opposed to allowing our one great negro school to be managed and taught by so small a proportion of colored people. To industrialize Howard University as the recent purchase of land would indicate and the ignoring of the intelligent people of the race—alumni and friends alike—will certainly be met by a storm of opposition by all people and friends of the race who believe that Howard University is for colored young men and women, and that they ought to have a larger say in its management and teaching. Among the great negro denominations that have been ignored by the present administration of Howard University is the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church with 11 Episcopal districts, 5,903 ordained and traveling ministers, 41 annual conferences, 672,000 members, 394,000 Sunday School scholars; operating in 36 different states, have been ignored and the prayer of this great church thrown aside to make room for the private citizen, who does not represent any one but himself. Notwithstanding the fact that we have eleven institutions of learning, with an enrollment of over 1,700. Our bishops and pastors are lecturing and sacrificing day and night to inspire the youth of this great church to seek the very best education possible, and to say the least, the treatment received at the hands of the present administration of Howard University is an insult, and when the House of Bishops and the Connection --- SURDAY JUNE 18 1910 CROW. some day, be satisfied with their Council meets in August, somebody will set up and take notice.

There was a lively and interesting meeting of the Negro Business League held last Monday evening. President Pittman presided and Mr. Lawson acted as secretary. On motion of Mr. Chase, the league proceeded at once to the election of officers. Mr. Pittman was renominated and could have been elected, but declined to be a candidate. Mr. Robert L. Waring was elected, unanimously, president, as the successor of Mr. Pittman. Mr. A. W. Scott thought that the league ought to show its appreciation of the valued services rendered the league by Mr. Pittman by some kind of a testimonial. On motion of Mr. Chase it was decided to tender Mr. Pittman a supper next Monday evening at Martins' Cafe. As a further evidence of the esteem in which Mr. Pittman is held by the league, he was elected one of the delegates to the National League, which is to meet in New York next August, and chairman of the delegation. Other officers were elected as follows: Daniel Freeman, first vice-president; Mr. Underdown, second vice-president; Mr. Lawson, recording secretary; Mr. Hernane, corresponding secretary; Mr. Robinson, treasurer; E. Murray, chaplain, and John Lewis, sergeant-at-arms. After the transaction of other minor business the league adjourned. The new officers will be installed next month. I'M WAITING FOR THEE 1.

Captain Michael Byrnes. Officer Precinct, Commanding. Sir I have the honor to hand you my resignation as Rail Road Crossing Policeman for transmittal to the Honor ade Commissioners of the District Columbia. In so doing I take this opportunity to express to you the high regard in which I hold you as a man, an executive officer, and above all, a superior officer, who has both the welfare of the public and his subordinates at heart. In the three years and more which I have served under you I have not to note the first sign of discord or discontent among the men of your command. This condition in your prompt being in great contrast to the conditions existing in the precinct in which I served eight years prior to my coming to the Sixth. If comparisons are permissible, I would compare the workings of that precinct, to yours, as I would a threshing machine to a Waltham watch—your precinct working as accurately and masslessly as the watch. It is with regret that I sever my connections with the Sixth Police Precinct in which I met so many manly policemen. have the honor to remain. Respectfully yours, ROBT. L. WARING, 600 F St., N. W. Washington, D. C., May 12, 1910. To the Honorable Commissioners of the District of Columbia, through Captain Michael Byrnes, 6th. Police Precinct, Commanding. Gentlemen: I have the honor to herewith hand you my resignation as Rail Road Crossing Policeman, stationed at Seventh and F streets, North- west, to take effect forthwith, for the following reasons. I was appointed to the above position July 9, 1899, and have since served continuously, having in the meantime been transferred twice. About the middle of March last on two occasion's I was found off my post by inspectors. First time thirty seven minutes; (fifteen minutes of which time I was allowed off by General Orders) and twelve minutes at another time. I was off for reasons over which I had no control—but my corner was covered, however, on both occasions by the regular man on the beat. (It has been the custom for ten years and more, and still is the custom, for a Rail Road Crossing policeman to leave his post when covered as mine was.) About April 1st, or 2nd, following I was called to Police Headquarters, without any previous knowledge as to what was to be required of me, and tried for this offence (2). Two weeks later I was again called to Headquarters and questioned relative to some ter-ni-ty's gates would re-open, heard a sweet voice as it whispered For the spirit of love that had fled... "Come. dar-ling, I'm waiting for thee!" CHORUS. pp In the twi-light of life when the shad-ows Are fall-ing 'round hill-tops and sea,…… I m hear that sweet voice as it whisper, "Come, dar-ling, I'm waiting for thee!"… articles of recent date that appeared over my signature in the Washington Bee, pertaining to matters foreign to the District of Columbia and matters over which the Police Department has no jurisdiction. Three weeks later or after a lapse of seven weeks after this fault-lending I am fined $5 and transferred. I do not now know nor was I ever informed as to that for which I have been adjudged guilty. But this is in keeping with the ceaseless, senseless system of nagging that has grown up in the Police Department in the past few years, as which has resulted in the killing of one high police official and which persisted in, may result in the killing of another, unless some person big in authority puts a stop to it. And p jury in this District will convict a man of first degree murder who does the killing, as was evidenced by the final outcome of the case above mentioned, which case on its face bore all the attributes of a cold-blooded murder. It is astounding to me that those in high authority in this District are ignorant of the views and opinions, as to police officials and inspectors, held by the rank and file of Washington citizens. Should your Honorable Board conclude that I have been fined and transferred for cause, I will forward my check under protest, for the above amount. Three garments have been ordered for me by the Police Department Dress coat, blouse, and pants. The blouse being of the new style of the summer garment, made of lighter material, less lining, no difference in color or collar from the old style blouse, but having one button more—at an increased cost to the men of nearly six over the older and heavier garment I shall pay for this blouse, at the increased price only when compelled to do so. Knowing as I do that this offence (?) is the pretext and not the cause for my fine and transfer, which to effect May 7, 1910, I respectfully request that this resignation be acted upon immediately as I wish to save all connection with the Police Department of this District as soon as possible, so that I may place before the public my experiences of a decade in the police service of this City 609 P St., N W Washington, June 3, 1914 Ordered: That Robert L.

The Corrlere of Rome, which pub- ished some time ago a copy of a document sald to have been found in the brary at Bergamo containing an account of “an airship voyage across the English channel in 1751,” is re- celying much attention at the hands of investigators. In the Tribune's no- tice of this alleged achievement, in which a monk famed Grimaldi, of Ct- vita Vecchia, was the chlef actor, it was stated that there was nothing in the Itallan paper's article to indicate that it was not written in good faith. “Now,” writes an Englishman from Rome, “the records of Civita Vecchia are being searched in vain for a Gri- maldi and the papers of England for a story of the flight.

C., as second-class mail matter. HIS OWN ENEMY The colored American complains of his condition. He declares that the white man is against him. Before and subsequent to his emancipation the white man has been his friend. The white man has educated him and for what purpose? The more successful colored American is being nagged by his more jealous rival. The case in question is that of Judge Robert H. Terrell, who is being belittled, abused and criticised by his jealous rival and when he could not substaniate the charges against him he had to confess that the judge had been wrongfully treated and unjustly abused. The picture these jealous individuals placed before the friends of the race was a scene that the white man looked upon in disgust. Will the colored man ever learn any sense? The more education some of them receive the more ridiculous they appear in the eyes of intelligent people. How must the more reserved and liberal white man feel when he sees the colored man attempting to degrade the more fortunate in the race. The Bee has made every effort to defend the rights and liberties of its people. But what is the consequence? Let the more liberal minded answer the question. The colored American is against himself, and until he does better he will forever be the "hewers of wood and drawers of water." Howard University indorse the attack of Dr. Grimkie on the president of Howard University. The Bee has always admired Dr. Grimkie for his Christian character, but it cannot agree with him when he makes such an attack on a man who is and has done so much for colored Americans. What has Dr. Washington done that his friends should be attacked? Dr. Washington, like Dr. Thirkield, is, and has done great work for the masses of the colored people. Neither need any defense by The Bee. Both are able to take care of themselves. It is an aphorism too true the more you do for some people the more you are damned. Dr. John R. Francis, who led the Terrell forces to victory, is a native Washingtonian, who is honored by all who know him. He has been successful over his fugitive enemies and to-day he stands so far ahead of his traducers that he doesn't know that they exist. The so-called educated negro is becoming just as detestable as the ignorant. The white people and the friends of the colored Americans, are becoming tired. JUDGE TERRELL. The Bee stated last week that a few colored men endeavored to prevent the trustees of Howard University from making Judge Robert H. Terrell a member of the law faculty. The traducers failed absolutely, so much so that they have become disgusted with themselves. The white members of the trustee board of Howard University are thinking of the intelligent and educated colored men make themselves ridiculous, what may be expected from the ignorant and uneducated. The unkind thrust of Dr. Grimkie at the president of Howard University was not manly. No man has done more and is doing more and is saying more in defense of colored Americans that Dr. Thirkield. Will the colored man act ungrateful? No! The Bee doesn't believe that the colored people and the friends of CANT TEACH ASSES. The Washington Bee is thirty-one years old. It looks it. We congratulate it—upon its age. "The Bee is an American citizen," it says joyously. But we cannot find that the Federal Constitution specifies the Bee tribe as eligible to American citizenship. The Bee must be mistaken as to its status as a citizen—Philadelphia Tribune. The Bee doesn't expect to teach jackasses, but it did think that a man who has been editing a newspaper for forty or sixty years, like the editor of the Philadelphia Tribune, would have sense enough to know when the editor of The Bee stated editorially that The Bee was an American citizen, that he was referring to himself and figuratively speaking, of the Bee as an American citizen. The editor of The Tribune should practice how to be funny. THE TEACHERS' CONTEST Don't wait until the last week to send in your votes for your favorite teacher.

Look at the list this week and guess the winners. W. S. MONTGOMERY. The Bee takes this occasion to commend the good work in the schools of Prof. W. S. Montgomery, supervising principal of the 10th school division. He is, indeed, popular with his teachers, in fact, with the entire corps of teachers. He loves his teachers and his teachers love him. His name is a household word. The Bee hopes to see him promoted. OUR NORMAL SCHOOL The Board of Education would be fully justified in making a change in the head of the Normal School No. 2. The Board of Education will continually be bothered with complaints. If the board desires to be rid of so many complaints and bother it would do a wise act to make a few changes. BURIED BENEATH CLODS. Our esteemed contemporary, the Washington Bee, with last week's issue, entered upon its thirty-first year of existence. It rejoices in the fact that it lives to see those who started at the same time and since, and who predicted its early death—buried beneath the cloods of the valley of newspaperdom, while it moves along in the even tenor of its way, striking wrong on the left and on the right. The Bee is indeed a wide-awake journal that has done, and is still doing, a whole lot of good for the race. May it live many years yet to tell the news and sound the alarm of impending dangers and conflicts. OUR 30TH YEAR. Knockers Knocked Out. The Washington Bee has just entered on its thirty-first year, and Bro.

Divide His Vote Divide His Vote COLORED PREACHERS IN POLITICS. Takes Issue With the Age—J. C. Cunningham's Manly Defense. Editor The Bee: We have heard many expressions through some of the negro newspapers that a minister of the gospel should take no part in politics; that he should confine himself to preaching and looking after church affairs, etc. Says The New York Age: "The political preacher is usually as weak in politics as he is in morals and in money matters." And among other things The Age says: "He degrades his calling and destroys his high name," etc. And, as a parting shot, The Age hoots the following at its numerous readers: "The political preacher should go once and for all." Now, be it known to all of the readers of this paper, that the writer is not a preacher, but why it is that so many of the negro papers (and jack leg politicians) are opposed to preachers taking an active part in politics is a mystery that we cannot, for the life of us, understand. What is there, pray tell us, in politics that is so dirty and filthy, that would degrade a minister of the gospel (any more than anybody else) should he condescend so low (?) as to take part in it? If politics be too dirty and filthy for a minister of the gospel, it is not equally too dirty and filthy for the members of his church to be found taking part therein? We should think so. That which is too low and degrading for a preacher to do, is certainly too low and degrading for his congregation to do also. Listen to what our Savious says along that line: ; "When the righteous rule, the people rejoice; but when the wicked rule the people mourn." Are we told in Holy Writ that there be any righteous outside the ministers and those who attend the house of God? The preacher who always talks to his church members about how to get to heaven and never tell them what to do to better their condition here on earth, is not worthy of the cloth. The trouble is, these negro politicians are afraid the preachers will lead the people right. They have been going around for years assuring the 'white political bosses that they (the negroes), carry the votes of their race around in their vest pockets, and only the highest bidder may have them. All they want is a fat office and the race may go to hades so far as they (the selfish negro politicians are concerned). But the former negro politicians—those who once have boasted of the fact that they carry the entire colored vote in their vest pockets must go. Their doom is sealed! As to being "weak in politics as he is in morals and in money matters," we beg to say to The New York Age's learned editor that we fear he is going a little bit too far. There are numbers of preachers—both white and colored—whose "morals" are above reproach and who are fully able to take care of themselves from a financial standpoint.

THE WASHINGTON BEE a low thing, as is pictured by The Age, why are the leading women of this country striving to be recognized in the political world? Politics is simply a strong "weapon of defense," and the preacher that does not use it, and is not patriotic and man enough to warn his people to do the same, is not worthy of his calling. Say what you will or may, the negroes of this country are "up against" it, from a political view point, and their only redemption lies in a diversified vote. The negro should not remain in, or go in, as a whole, any one political party. He should be identified in all political parties. And God help him to see the vast mistake he has made in the past along that line of self help. And such wise and race defenders as Bishop Alexander Walters, Rev's. S. L. Corrothers, Milton J. Waldron, George C. Clement, and others who dared to show their race manhood, deserve the plaudit of all intelligent men and women of the race. Their work will be echoed back from ages to come. The manhood stand that they took in 1908 will live even when their bones are bleached in their graves. God grant that the day will soon come when the negro's political faith may not be told by the color of his skin. Out of more than ten millions of negroes in this country, we ought certainly to be strong enough, and true enough to ourselves to have a representative of the race in the United States Congress. The negroes at the South acted well their part in sending race representatives to Congress when they could do so. And the disfranchisement of the colored voters at the South should arouse the colored voters at the North and West, where their votes are counted, to strive to elect a colored representative to the United States Congress. But if such steps be taken it will not be done by the compromising so-called leaders of the race. No, some preachers, with a plenty of backbone about them, will certainly have to take the initiative along that line. The negro politicians, and so-called (self made) leaders, are always ready to trade. They invariably accept an office to which they may be appointed. And the negro who holds an office, to which he is appointed, is absolutely no good to the race. He is not in a place to help enact laws, and he dares not to open his mouth against the wrongs that may be done his people. No, he is perfectly satisfied to hold office, draw a big salary, and boast of the fact that he carries so many thousands of the votes of his race in his vest pocket. Such trading in politics by the so-called leading negroes has been going on for many years; and it is the duty of the "preachers" to thunder these truths from the pulpit until these scheming, compromising, selfish politicians shall CONTEST CLOSES JULY 2. 1910 THREE PRIZES at number of votes will be given a trifle.

And be it further resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be forwarded to the trustees of Howard University, and the same be spread upon the minutes of this meeting. The Blue and White in Greek Flag. The Greek flag is an unpretentious piece of blazony consisting of nine stripes of blue and white alternately, with a white cross on a blue ground in the left hand corner. The navy flag has a golden crown in the center of the cross. Blue and white are the national colors of Bavaria and were adopted by the Greeks as a delicate compliment to the Prince of Bavaria, who accepted the invitation to ascend the throne of Greece when that country had, succeeded in wresting her independence from the Ottoman empire.

She was born and reared in South Washington, receiving her early education in the public and high schools of the District of Columbia. She was appointed a teacher in the public schools several years ago, promoted from time to time, and was teaching the eighth grade at the time of her death.

Music resonated the air with its terpsychorean tunefulness, while some partook of the fantastic step. At precisely 9.30 Worshipful Master Robert N. Mattingly, arose from his seat as toastmaster and summoned the guest to refreshment. He addressed the banqueters on "Our Masonic Duty." With a clear and logical outline of the duties of a master Maston, he poured forth an eloquent appeal to Masons to be steadfast and loyal to their fraternity and its members. That their obligations as Masons were to be upheld, fostered, and protected as inviolate parts of their Masonic life. He emphasized most rigidly the duty of a Mason as being coeval with the best there is in JULY 4th and SEPTEMBER 5th Rev. S. P. W.

Rapier, pastmaster, who spoke on Pythagoras Lodge. His remarks dealt with the progress of the lodge and its present condition, which he asserted was in an excellent standing. Brother Alexander S. Howard spoke on "The Holy Bible," which was timely and to the point. The toastmaster then in a few and most timely and reminiscent remarks introduced the honored guest of the evening, Grand Master Nelson E, Weatherless and past master of Pythagoras Lodge. His subject was, "The Grand Lodge." The Grand Master's remarks encompassed the domain of Masonry from its inception and birth, which he said was extant from the earliest man, till now where it has attained all its excellency and power. He traced the beginning of Masonry through all its stages, from the time it was characterized in its material worth, up to its present moral plane. Commendation of the work of the Grand Lodge was well portrayed, and he showed in the fullest manner the gigantic work done by the Grand Lodge since its organization. The Grand Master's speech showed research and mastery of his subject and a uniform connection of Masonic events from its earliest period until now. It was a masterful address and appreciated by all who heard him. "Pastmasters" was the Subject of a few remarks by Past Master Wm. B. Danridge. For dry wit and humor he was the Samuel Clemens of the evening. He treated with lightness the duties that befall pastmasters in a lodge. "The Ladies" was timely remarked on by Brother John H. Myers, senior warden. There were many ladies present and enjoyed the pleasantries conveyed by his remarks. Pastmaster Jas. T. Beason, spoke on "Master Masons." In a brief resume he told of the struggles of the lodge to get a footing from the beginning, and how by diligence and hard work it has become the formost lodge in this jurisdiction. He vividly told of the duties of a master Mason, and advised of the work ahead for newly made Masons and past made Masons. Pastmaster Robert H. Terrell and wife were seated between the Grand Master, and the Worshipful Master. The Worshipful Master called upon Pastmaster Terrell for a few remarks. He forcibly spoke upon the struggles which enmeshed the lodge at its infancy; and was glad he could reflect with perfect regard the wonderful progress of the lodge and its present position in the fraternity.

NO. 3 Gives Royal Reception to Their Auxiliary. On Thursday evening, from 8 to 12, the upper part of the Northwest Cafe rang with music and merriment, the outpour of which was occasioned by the Sir Knights of Gethsemane Commandery, K. T. No. 3., and the Ladies Auxiliary thereto. Midst the strains of the music, the Sir Knights waltzed and two-stepped with the ladies, until 11 p. m., when they repaired to the over dining room where the table was spread for sixty persons. Mr. Martin, in his usual good humored way, had prepared a grand menu, and while the Sir Knights and the honored ladies were partaking of the repast, several speeches were made, Eminent Sir Renfro, acting as toastmaster.

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.

LEWIS President Laborers' Building and Zoan Aaa'n Washington, D. C. ADVISORY BOARD LAMATION 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.

RETREGRADING The opinion of thoughtful colored men and women upon the question as to whether the race is advancing or retrograding and to what degree of rapidity in either direction is very much divided. Some claim that retregration in a young race as it were, is against every known law, social and Southern Medicine C Atlanta, Ga.

They point to the Germanic, Slavonic, Scandinavian and Celtic races which are comparatively young as evidences of fact, and more especially to the American race, though the youngest and as yet formative, notwithstanding with certain definite characteristics. These races express what they call the law of progress. They go even farther and maintain that the law of progress is universal and applies to all races, young and old. They refer us to the Mongolian race, a very old race, which while its advancement during the past centuries, has been slow, but inevitable, the law of progress is only emphasized in the marvelous growth of Japan and the awakening of China. On the other hand, there are who confend that while admitting the progress of these races during the past century or so, as well as the operation, the law of progress under certain conditions, they affirm that not until there was practical homogeneity in the races referred to, was there any progress whatever. Indeed they contend that prior to this latter condition there was certain and marked retrogression and that the Dark Ages furnish us with the proof of their contention. In determining the condition of the colored race in this country, there opposing opinions are applied. The optimistic philosopher refers to the marvelous advancement of the race in a moral, educational and material way, his adaptability and rapid adjustment to the most approved social conditions and especially his ability Her-Tru-Line FOR THE HAIR HER - TRU - LINE The Great Hair Grower "Her-Tru-Line" stimulates the growth of the hair, it takes out the curl and leaves the scalp in a clean and healthy condition.

MAILED ANYWHERE IN U.S. $100 $100 PER MILE BY POSTPONED POST Does it combine easily without breaking? Is it straight? Does it smooth out nicely? Can you do it up in any of the charming styles, so it will stay, and make you proud of it? Is it long and full of life? If you cannot say YES to all of the above questions, then you need to organize for purposes of mutual protection and advancement, as a strong proof the progress of the race, not to speak of the growing tendency toward amalgamation, which eventuates in homogeneity. On the other hand, the conservative philosopher sees retrogression in the race. He contends that the morality and education referred to are merely superficial or imitative and points to the great paucity of moral and educational productions written by the colored race, and affirms that the barber, waiter, or favorite valet makes more money than the average farmer, school teacher, preacher, and that our material prosperity is in the main but an expression of individual and manhood abandonment. The inability on the part of the race to maintain the political rights of which they were in full possession for several years and which the exercise of moderate good judgment, tolerable diplomacy and common sense would certainly have perpetuated, is pointed out as another evidence of the "going back" of the race. This latter philosopher admits that the race possesses millions of dollars in real and personal property, churches, schools and colleges without number, and that through the means of systematic begging from the whites and extortion we cut a smart figure. But he maintains that progress, in the proper sense, does not mean merely the ability to supply the inner man and to clothe and house the outer, though these are necessary incidents. Progress means not only the capacity to write books, build bridges, railroads, stemships, construct philosophies, but the act of producing the actual, tangible book, bridge, etc. It means that to prove ourselves as men we must be men in fact, commanding political rights in the act of exercising them. Our inability in these respects, the unfavoring philosopher shows that we are not progressing. "Where are our friends and their children and grandchildren?" Has the faith of pride of the children and grandchildren in their noble ancestry departed? Why are we now deserted? Our philosopher replies, "because we have been going backward instead of forward; because we have sold our birthright, bought at so inestimable a cost, for a few small loaves and fishes, a pot of devil's broth and an abject willingness to be treated as a social, political and civil nonentity." Our insistent critic cites a commonplace incident in order to show to what extent we are not progressing. "Not long since a colored man came to this city with a show. He came because he had an educated horse to exhibit, the principal attraction. He came under a contract whereby he was to receive a goodly sum for each day's performances, one which seemed a trifle steep, considering the parties to the contract. But the fact is that the horse is truly remarkable for his intelligence and marvelous tricks. His training was not of the ordinary sort, by which almost any horse could be taught, as by consecutive suggestion; but this animal possessed the endowments of calculation, analysis, and differentiation. In fact the horse was a wonder. After a week, the manager, unwilling to give the colored man the wages agreed upon, offered to purchase the horse. On being refused, the manager broke the contract, and left the trainer and his horse without employment. The trainer went from one theater to another, the managers of which stoutly refusing to engage him and his valuable horse. At last he was compelled to enter into a contract with a white man, who readily found an engagement with the management of one of our largest vaudeville theaters, on splendid terms, the trainer and owner of the animal, however, being compelled to take an unconscionably small amount as his share. And this on what condition, do you think? It was on condition that the trainer dress himself like a "plantation darkey" and submit to being called "Uncle Remus," which condition the poor old trainer, under the circumstances, was compelled to accept. When the horse and trainer appeared the first night the audience was in great expectancy and prepared to witness wonderful feats. The trainer appeared on the stage dressed in ante-bellum habit, the veritable picture of "Uncle Remus." He walked up to his precious friend and sought to induce him to show the audience how smart he was. But the frightened horse would do nothing but kick and stare, as much as to say, "What do you take me for? Do you think that I will act for a backnumber like you? My friend represents the present, not the past. My friend and master, or no business" Whereupon the habiliments of "Uncle Remus" were removed and the horse, finding that he was with his real master, proceeded to perform in the most wonderful manner, to the surprise, pleasure and applause of the whole audience. What do you think of that? An intelligent colored man could not even exhibit his horse before a white audience in this city unless he consented to represent himself as a "plantation darkey." Are we going forward or are we being driven backward? Thus considering the progressionists and retrogressionists, the horse and trainer and the white people, we will pass the matter up to our more discriminating reader for a correct answer. I noticed in looking over the news of my native town of which about nine thousand are white and three thousand are colored, that the only ones who marched to the national cemetery to decorate the graves of the Union soldiers were colored. And I said thank God my people are a loyal, grateful people who can never forget a good deed in the midst of lilly whiteism, Jim Crowism and race discrimination. East, West, North and South, we are true to our trust and we stand by our friends whether they be Northern Yankees, Southern Confederates or just plain friends. And I hope and trust that whatever differences between the races that time will bring forth, that we as a race will never forget to honor the memory of the brave old boys in blue who fought, bled and died that we might taste the blessed fruits of liberty. THE BOYS WHO FOUGHT FOR US young, their heads are getting / gray; They're marching over, one by one, to the last long bugle call And our hearts go out to the brave old boys, For we love them, one and all. They're growing scarce; those boys in blue who answered Lincoln's call, Who swore by the power of their good right arnt, this nation should not fall; Who bravely left their peaceful homes to die midst the cannon ball, That the cause of freedom That the cause of freedom might be won though the nation bathed in gore. They're leaving us, those boys in blue who fought for you and me Who nowell down the rocks of Who moved down the ranks of the Southern boys that the black man might be free; Our hearts must be Our hearts go out in sympathy to their dear ones left behind. In thought in word or dead will to In thought, in word or deed, we'll try to be so good, so kind. There are countless graves of the boys in blue who fought to make us free, That there might be an open door of hope for you and me; Our hearts go out to the brave old boys who answered Lincoln's call We wish them joy and happiness for we love them one and all.
