IF IT'S NEWS, IT'S IN THE BEE, FOR THE BEE IS A NEWSPAPER. THE BEE WASHINGTON Washington's Best and Leading Negro Newspaper-That's THE BEE VOL. XXXIII NO14 WASHINGTON, D. C., SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 7, 1912 THE ST. LUKES MEET THE ST. LUKES MEET The Most Successful Meeting in the History of the Order-Increased Business. Richmond, Va., Aug. 30, 1912. Last week was a red letter one in the history of the Right Worthy Grand Council, Independent Order of St. Luke. The 45th annual convention of the Order was in session three days in Fifth Street Baptist Church. There were more than two thousand delegates and visitors in attendance. These had come from twenty States and the District of Columbia, and represented 915 councils with a membership of 27,700. There are 10,302 members of the Juvenile circles. At the morning session, Tuesday, addresses of welcome were made by Dr. H. L. Harris, district deputy of Western Richmond District and Dr. Q. W. Moone. The addresses breathed forth a most hospitable welcome to the delegates and visitors. Responses were made by Dr. Simms, of New York; Rev. Dr. Geo. W. Morris, of Morristown, N. J.; Miss Mattie E. Bowen, of Washington, and A. P. Straughter, West Virginia. The responses were most felicitous in delivery and in the praiseworthy manner in which the work of the organization was being conducted. Mrs. Maggie L. Walker, Right Worthy Grand Secretary-Treasurer, is the leading spirit in the work of this great institution, and every speaker had only praise to extend to her for the success which she is bringing to the organization. Mrs. Walker gave most valuable information to the internal workings of the institution, the manner of assessments, taxes, etc. Printed copies of the annual reports of the Right Worthy Grand Secretary-Treasurer and the last statement of the financial condition of the St. Luke Penny Savings Bank, as made to the State Corporation Commission by Cashier Emmett C. Burke. The report of the Right Worthy Grand Secretary-Treasurer showed 49 new councils organized! new members, 6,130; 3,470 new members in the Juvenile Circles; death claims paid, juvenile, 46; amount, $1,742.50; adult, 485, amount, $47,977.60. Every death claim in the office paid up to date; the total amount having been paid out amounting to $337.325. The total receipts for the year were $98,704.48. Total disbursements, $88,511.77, leaving a cash balance of $10,192.71. The report of Cashier Burke showed the total resources of the bank to be $178,905.40. Wednesday night a monster mass meeting was held in the City Auditorium. The address of the evening was made by Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, president of the National Training School for Colored Women, Washington, D. C. The speech was magnificent; in short, one of the finest ever delivered by a woman in this city. Dr. H. L. Harris, district deputy for Western Richmond District, was master of ceremonies. Dr. Harris introduced Mrs. Julia M. Layton, of Washington, who, in turn, introduced Miss Burroughs. Mrs. Maggie L. Walker spoke briefly and ended by introducing John Mitchell, Jr., Esq., president of Mechanics' Savings Bank, and editor of the Richmond Planet. Mr. Mitchell said it was the most magnificent meeting he had ever had the honor of addressing; he paid a glowing tribute to the worth of Mrs. Walker, as a race leader, and congratulated himself upon having the greatest honor ever bestowed upon him to be in his own city, and that honor being presented to such a great Negro audience by the only woman of the race who occupies a position similar to his own—bank president, head of a great fraternal institution and editor of a newspaper. A chorus of one hundred voices, with Prof. William Coy as leader and Mrs. Sophia Q. Lemus as pianist. At the session Thursday morning, memorial services in honor of the 485 dead of the past year were held. The exercises were conducted by the Rev. A. C. Garner, Right Worthy Grand Prelate, Washington, D. C., assisted by the Revs. Drs. Smith, Providence, R. I.; R. B. Hardy, Charlottesville, Va., and Rev. Geo. W. Moore, Wilmington, N. C. Among the social features of the gathering was a reception to the delegates and visitors by the officers and directors of St. Luke Savings Bank at the new bank building, Tuesday evening, and a lawn fete Thursday evening on the spacious lawn adjoining the general office building of the Right Worthy Grand Council in St. James Street. The sessions of the convention were characterized by the harmony which prevailed and the general good feeling and satisfaction that were evident everywhere. The daily press vied one with the other as to the giving out daily stories of the doings of the convention. To Mrs. Maggie L. Walker is due more than any one individual the phenomenal success of the organization. When she took charge of the work fourteen years ago, she found a depleted treasury and a membership of a few hundred. Within these few years, she has built the organization up to its present high plane and guiding the success which attended the session just ended, other successes are compelled to come. Officers elected for the ensuing year are: Right Worthy Grand Chief—R. A. Janes, Petersburg, Va. Right Worthy Grand Vice Chief—'Alice M. Powell, Cambridge, Mass. Right Worthy - Grand Secretary- Treasurer—Maggie L. Walker, Richmond, Va. Right Worthy Grand Messenger-J. J. Yancey, New York. J. Yancey, New York. Right Worthy Grand, Prelate—Rev. A. C.

Despite these hot August days, things are not "slow" in Richmond. There are hundreds of stay-at-homes here, and they are getting all the enjoyment that can be possibly gotten at a time when the mercurial column is firing with the century mark. The new Fraternal Organization, the Supreme Fountain of the National Ideal Benefit Society, Inc., is rapidly forging its way to the front ranks, judging from the work being done in Richmond. Tuesday night last, fifteen of the new lodges, with a membership of more than five hundred, were instituted in the new auditorium of the Richmond Beneficial Hall. A. W. Holmes, the Supreme Master, conducted the services. He was assisted by S. W. Johnson, the Supreme Secretary, and other members of the official corps. Mr. A. W. Holmes is a hustler, and is considered one of the greatest society organizers among his people; having the confidence of the people, being a man of sterling integrity; the organization is making great progress. And not only is this progress confined to Richmond and to Virginia, but to several other States, where the society has begun operation. Possibly, to Supreme Master Holmes' popularity and his ability as an organizer, is the phenomenal success of the new organization. The fifth annual convention of the National Association of Colored Graduate Nurses was in session here Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of last week. There were between forty and fifty nurses in attendance, coming from different sections of the country. Miss Mary F. Clarke, president of the Association, presided over the deliberations of the body. There were many excellent papers read during the session, among which were "General Nursing." Miss Gussie V. Williams, superintendent of Richmond Hospital; "Homes for Nurses," Mrs. W. A. Frazier, Washington, D. C.; "Mental Nursing," Mrs. Ada Franklin, Petersburg, Va.; "Special Nursing," Miss Clara Rollins, Washington, D. C.; "Chronic Nursing," Miss Bessie Hunter: "Nursing in America as a Profession," Miss E. Miller, of Philadelphia, and Many other papers, the readers of which were: Miss M. E. Baltimore, Harrisburg, Pa.; Miss M. A. Sandusky, Jacksonville, Fla.; Mrs. Ida B. Eason, Virginia; Dr. W. H. Hughes, Richmond, "The Relationship of the Nurse to the Physician." The Mistakes of the Past and the Outlook for the Future," a round table talk, was one of the most interesting features of the convention. The address of welcome, was made by Prof. D. Webster Davis; the response was by Miss Florence Fordham, of Orangeburg, S. C. The officers elected were: President—Miss Mary F. Clarke, Richmond, Va. First Vice President, Miss M. Davis. Second Vice President—Miss F. C. Christie, Chester, Pa. Recording Secretary, Miss Florrella Porter, Orangeburg, S. C. Corresponding Secretary—Miss C. S. Morgan. Treasurer—Miss M. R. Tucker. The installation address was made by Dr. H. L. Harris. There was a social side to the convention Tuesday evening; the Alumnae and Ladies' Auxiliary tennered the delegates a reception. Thursday evening, the Richmond Medical Society tendered, the body a reception and dance. The next meeting of the association will be at Norfolk, Va. Mr. George St. Julien Stephens has issued invitations to the marriage of his sister, Miss Julia Irene Stephens, to the Rev. William Gordon Thurston, of Cleveland, Ohio, which will take place Thursday morning September 10th, at 10 o'clock. Miss Stephens is one of the most popular of Richmond's school teachers, and is active in the work of the church. Mrs. Indiana Jackson, mother of Mrs. Mary Holt Dawson, assistant cashier of St. Luke Penny Savings Bank, died last Tuesday morning. Beside Mrs. Dawson, she is survived by one son, Mr. George W. Jackson, a clerk in the government service at Washington. Off to Convention. Mr. W. T. Soders, an ardent supporter of President Taft, will leave Saturday, September 7, for the National Baptist Convention. He will make a strong attempt to capture the votes of all the ministers and representatives for Mr. Taft. Mr. Soders goes to the convention as representative for the Metropolitan Baptist Church. WASHINGTON, D. C., SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 7, 1912 A. WM. H. LEWIS. Assistant Attorney General of the United States, Wins His Fight in the American Bar Association. ASS'TATTY.GEN..WINS Attorney General Wickersham Fights For His Man. MILWAUKEE, WIS., Aug. 27.—Fifty-four lawyers, with at least one from each State, today completed for presentation to the American Bar Association a report denouncing as "dangerous to the country" all movements for the recall of judges or of judicial decisions. The report lawyers that in Ohio the constitutional convention declined to apply recall to the judges, but provided that laws should be passed for the prompt removal on complaint and hearing of judges for any misconduct involving moral turpitude. State Association in Fight. State Association in Fight. The report says this substantially is the system used in Massachusetts, New York, and several other States, and says that, in addition to California and Oregon, where the judicial recall exists, the only other States which have taken steps toward the recall are Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, and North, Dakota. In the latter States, the report asserts, the bar associations have started campaigns against the recall. Those who signed the report include Frank B. Kellogg, Minnesota; William B. Hornblower, New York; Lawrence Maxwell, Ohio; Edmund L. Trabue, Kentucky. Jacob Dickinson, former Secretary of War, is named as one of those who originated the committee "to expose candidacy of judicial recall." EDITOR MITCHELL He Visits The Bee Office—The Great Journalist Not For Wilson. Banker, journalist, and politician, John Mitchell, Jr., of Richmond, Va., was in the city Saturday and paid The Bee office a visit. Editor Mitchell has just returned from the bankers' convention, and he gave a graphic description of his trip. When asked by The Bee whether the widely circulated interview stating that he had declared for Wilson was true or false, he said that he had never declared for Wilson, and he could not and would not. This distinguished editor of the Planet is full of business, and there is no doubt that he knows what he is talking-about. He left the city after calling on Recorder of Deeds Johnson and others. Good Appointment. The President in appointing Aaron Bradshaw, Jr., to the cadetship at West Point from the District of Columbia, in so doing recognized scholarly merit. President Oyster, of the school board, and Superintendent of Schools Davidson should feel highly gratified that the President designated the candidate so strongly endorsed by them. The Editor of The Bee thinks he can safely speak for all the colored people of the District of Columbia when he says that they are gratified that he has given the honor where it was so well merited. The father of young Mr. Bradshaw, and all of his people before him, have always stood for justice and equal rights for all men. All colored men know the fearless manner in which Aaron Bradshaw has always stood for the right, and congratulate him that his son has been so signally honored by President Taft. The Bee is the people's paper. Why don't you have it sent to your home? PITTMANS IN TEXAS Eminent Architect and Accomplished Wife Establish Temporary Residence in Dallas, Texas—Guests of Dr. W. E. Tharp While en route to New Home. Dallas, Tex., Aug. 24. Some of the most representative colored people of this city met at the home of Prof. and Mrs. J. W. Ray on Roseland Avenue, and through the medium of a most delightful informal reception heartily welcomed Mr. and Mrs. W. Sidney Pittman and their little family with true Southern hospitality. Eentirely without the knowledge of the new arrivals, the hostess arranged a most elaborate musical program and a sumptuous menu for the occasion, and over one hundred of Dallas' social leaders responded and enjoyed themselves into the wee hours of the morning. The Pittmans have recently taken a cottage at 2213 Juliette Street, where they will reside while in the State; and the citizens of Dallas and other ports of the State are already beginning to urge that they make Texas their permanent home. Mr. Pittman reports the professional outlook on his new environments in the matter of building, as very flattering. Mr. and Mrs. Pittman left Washington about one month ago, and reached Dallas just one week afterward. While en route they made a good many stops, according to plans previously arranged. Upon special invitation from Dr. and Mrs. J. E. Shepard, they spent two days in Durham, N. C., as special guests of the National Religious Traning School, of which Dr Shepard is founder and president. Mr. Pittman having designed all the buildings of this famous school, is well known to the people of Durham, but this proved to be Mrs. Pittman's first visit. She was most favorably impressed both with the people and the city of Durham. Dr. and Mrs. Shepard spared no pains or expense in making this visit of the Pittmans most enjoyable in every way, not excepting even the comforts of travel, both to and from Durham en route. While in Durham they were guests in the homes of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Shepard, Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Spaulding, Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Forbes (at the residence of Mrs. Moore), Mr. Chas. Amey, and others. From Durham, they proceeded to Atlanta, where they breakfasted at the beautiful home of Dr. and Mrs. Chas. Johnson. Dr. Johnson is one of the young successful physicians of Atlanta. After breakfast they went directly to the home of the Hon. and Mrs. B. J. Davis, editor of the Atlanta Independent. The Davis home has recently been rebuilt, and is now unquestionably one of the largest and most comfortably arranged homes of the city. While in the city of Atlanta the Pittmans were guests of Mr. and Mrs. Davis, and the entire day was most agreeable to both host and guests. Mrs. Davis and Mrs. Pittman are old class mates of Tuskegee. Messfs. Davis and Pittman are each highly regarded by the other, and it is predicted that a strong friendship is destined to result from this mutual attraction. Dr. W. F. Penn, a leading physician of Atlanta, also contributed to the social pleasures and comforts of the Pittmans while in the city of Atlanta. On leaving Atlanta, they proceeded direct to Houston, Texas, stopping over only for a day in New Orleans. In Houston they were met by a committee from the Trustee Board of the Carnegie Colored Library Building that Mr. Pittman is now building in the city of Houston. Messrs. Smith, Miller, and Henderson, the committee, escorted them to the residence of Dr. E. B. Ramsey, where it was arranged that they should stop while in Houston; Messrs. J. B. Bell, Jno. Adkins, and others, being absent from the city. Houston, the home of Emmett J. Scott, secretary of the Tuskegee Institute, is one of the two largest cities of Texas, and with the possible exception of Dallas, is destined to become the greatest city of the Southwest. After two days in Houston they proceeded to Dallas, their future home while in the State. Until they were located in their own home, they were the guests of Prof. and Mrs. Ray, friends of Mr. Pittman, and it has been principally through Mrs. Ray's unselfish and hospitable initiative and kindness that the best side of Dallas has come forward to receive the Pittmans in open arms in all things present and future. THE DEMAGOGUE. That Confront the Negroes—Roosevelt their Enemy. Editor The Bee: Looking through my political glasses I can see nothing but hell in the distant for the Northern and Western Negroes who dare to join Roosevelt in his damnable aim to crush their helpless brethren in the South "Twas the Apostle Paul, we believe, in one of his epistles to the brethren in Christ who said: "Beware of Alexander the copersmith, for he has done me much harm." And we wish to add, in the language of Paul, beware, my colored brother, of one Theodore Roosevelt, for by his recent acts towards the Southern colored delegates, in his Bull Moose convention which was pulled off in Chicago a few weeks ago, he has done the race much harm. What becomes of Roosevelt's famous "all men up' and man 'down' policy?" He has recently changed his policy to spell "All Northern and Western Negroes up' and all of their Southern brethren down." Is not this an insult upon the intelligence of every self-respecting and race loving colored man and woman in the country? When the lowly Nazarene was taken before Pilate by the Jews they said: "If you let this man go you are not a friend of Caesar." And the colored man who supports Roosevelt in his hellish desire to crush his brethren at the South, that man is not a friend of his race. No, but he is an enemy of the little ones yet unborn in that section of the country. We will put this question to the Western and Northern voters: Brethren, if you were invited to a great reception and was told that your brother and father, your wife and daughter, were regarded as subjects not worthy of notice, and that their presence were not wanted, would you go? We pause here for an answer. And may you be as true to your brethren at the South as was Ruth to her mother-in-law. Ruth said: "Wherever thou goeth I will go. Wherever thou dieth I will die," etc. Colored voters of the North and West, think on these things—think today and act wisely in November next. While the Northern and Western brethren should feel the care of their oppressed brethren at the South, it is to be regretted that the actions of the colored leaders in that section of the country have been of such as to cause the remarks made about them by the Bull Moose man. In the past the leading Negroes of the South were seldom, if ever, true to their followers in politics. They were for themselves first, last and all the time. As to the true leaders of the race the whole people know but little. We have some deceitful hypocrites and grafting liars who pose as lovers of the race, where, in reality, they are using their people as a stepping-stone for self gain. Such men should be shown up by the colored press of the country. It is the duty of the colored newspapers to expose every crooked so-called leader known to them, or give space to those who would. Let us applaud our leaders in the right and condemn them in the wrong. I verily believe in a division of the colored vote. And I shall never encourage my people to continue to kiss the hands that smite them. No, too often they have done that thing. We are against the Bull Moose. And that's not all—we are, against his former partners in that Brownsville affair. I. C. CUNNINGHAM. (By Miss G. B. Maxfield) A delegation from New York is in the city to urge the Secretary of the Navy to build the large Dreadnought ship at the New York Navy Yard. This yard has every facility to build this ship.

The smallest deposit recorded in Chicago in recent years was made last week by W. F. Dunham, a numismatist. It was that of a half cent dated 1834. Hereafter the bank balance will record the half cent, which will be subject to taxation. Frank Baccus, colored, claims to be the oldest man in the West. Last month he celebrated his 122d birthday the last day of last month at his home in Reno, Nev. Medals for bravery will be presented to five army officers by President Taft in November. Lieutenant Becker refused to plead to the indictment against him, but a technical plea of not guilty was entered for him by the court. Americans at Cananea are reported to be in danger from Mexican rebels. The War Department has a report describing the situation. John D.

German banks have begun to introduce the finger print as a mark of identification on checks. The method is already in use in the United States. Mr. John Rosenwald celebrated his 50th birthday August 12th by making benefactions to various institutions to the total amount of $687,500. Dr. Booker T. Washington has been designated by Mr. Rosenwald as trustee of the sum of $25,000 to be for the improvement of small colored schools in the South. The late Dr. R. F. Boyd, of Nashville, Tenn., made among other bequests, $5,000 to Mercy Hospital, which he founded, and $2,000 to Meharry Medical College, his alma mater. The B. M.

Fully 1,000 persons are homeless in Los Angeles, Cal., as a result of a fire which caused $2,500,000 damages. T. R. ANSWERS PENROSE ATTACK Benies Knowledge of Standard Oil Contribution. GIVES LIE TO THE CHARGE Declares Testimony of Archbold and Penrose Is Attack on Dead Man and a Reflection on Themselves. Theodore Roosevelt gave out the letter which he has sent to 'Senator Moses E. Clapp, chairman of the senate committee which is investigating campaign contributions, before which Senator Penrose and John D. Archbold charged that Mr. Roosevelt had been a party to the soliciting and accepting of Standard Oil campaign contributions in 1904. Mr. Roosevelt almost at the opening gives the lie in these words: "As regards the statement of Mr Penrose and Mr. Archbold that with my consent or knowledge Mr. Bliss asked the Standard Oil people for $100,000 or any other sum, or received such sum from them, it is an unqualified falsehood." Further on Colonel Roosevelt compares Senator Penrose to a grafting policeman, and adds: "His language is precisely the language that might be used by a black-mailing police officer in a big city in advising the keeper of a law-breaking liquor saloon or a gambling house to contribute liberally, because otherwise he might 'incur hostility in certain quarters.' If this language were proved against the policeman he would, be removed from the police force, and as it is admitted by the senator, he should be removed from the senate." Mr. Roosevelt promises that there shall be full publicity of contributions in his primary campanell las, spring. "I wish to emphasize the fact," he continues, "that the testimony of Mr. Archbold and Mr. Penrose in this matter is an attack on Mr. Bliss, who is dead, and is also unwittingly the severest, possible reflection on them ourselves; but it is in no sense any attack upon me except in so far that they assert that the dead man said that I knew of his request for money from them. "I do not believe that Mr. Bliss said this any more than I believe their accusation that Mr. Bliss deliberately tried to blackmail the Standard Oil. But please keep in mind that this is an assault on Mr. Bliss and not on me." After a sweeping denial of knowledge or consent to any of the steps in the transactions as set forth by the two witnesses, he pays a glowing tribute to the memory of Mr. Bliss, but adds that of course he could not say whether Mr. Bliss had asked for or had received the money. Further to prove that his skirts are entirely clean in the matter, although the skirts of others might not be so clean. Mr. Roosevelt quotes from what purported to be an interview with Cornelius N. Bliss, published in the New York Herald of Dec. 24, 1911. In this Mr. Bliss is quoted as correcting Edward H. Harriman's statement that in 1904 he received word of the desperate state in New York from Mr. Roosevelt. Mr. Bliss said that he conveyed that information to the railroad man. He discusses the situation and the steps taken to raise the $200,000. At the conclusion of the interview there are these questions quoted in the Roosevelt letter, which apparently further involves Mr. Bliss: "Then the president had nothing to do with the raising of the money?" Answer. "Not once in the conference of the committee was there any suggestion that he was doing it. The only thing that Mr. Roosevelt had to do with such matters was to issue orders that money was not to be accepted from this or that persons. His orders were ignored, as it was recognized that this was something about which he must not interfere, and I brooked no interference." The letter to Senator Clapp, which is about 15,000 words long, goes eva haustively into his correspondence with Chairman Cortelyou, of Oct. 26 and 27, in which it is ordered that the $100,000 from the Standard Oil company be returned at once, although the sum is not mentioned, all of which was just after the time that Alton II. Parker had first made his charge that the Republican nominee and his chairman were obtaining money from the great corporations in an effective way. It pays its respects to Mr. Penrose and tells of the removal of a Ponrose benchman of the name of Bunn from the Philadelphia postoffice, and then it sets forth in full the famous White House statement of the night of Nov. 4, in which Judge Parker is castigated for accusing Mr. Cortelyou and the nominee of holding up corporations. The often printed Harriman correspondence is reprinted in full, and after announcing Collector Loeb, then private secretary, as corroborating witness, mention is made of Senator Jonathan Bourne as an intermediary for Standard Oll at about the time the suits were to be brought. Incidentally a paragraph is injected to give the colonel an opportunity to praise William R. Hearst for his public service of high importance; and Mr. Hearst is requested to publish everything he has of the Archbold letter files. The colonel offers to supply anything he may have it data upon which he can search his letter files if forwarded to him. Widow. of Standard Oil Magnate Who Died on Train. A RURAL CARRIERS' PAY INCREASED $4,000,000 By authority conferred by the post-office appropriation bill, Postmaster General Hitchcock increased the salaries of rural letter carriers on standard routes from $1000 to $1100 a year, thus affecting 30,000 men, with proportionate increase to carriers on the shorter routes. The order will become effective Sept. 30. This will mean an increased disbursement of $1,000,000 a year. It is the second salary advance for rural carriers made in the last four years. At the close of the last fiscal year, on June 30, there were 42,001 rural mail carriers, the aggregate pay being $40,653,730. When the rural delivery system was instituted sixteen years ago eighty-three carriers were employed at an annual cost of $11,800, the maximum individual pay being $290 a year. The increase provides the rural carriers adequate compensation for the additional burdens to be imposed by the parcels post system; effective on Jan. 1. PAPA'S QUOIT HIT CHILD Little Girl Runs Toward Him as He Pitches, and Is Dying. Four-year-old Effie Griffith is dying in a hospital at Wellsburg, W. Va. over the state line from Independence, Pa., from injuries received by a quoit pitched by her father in a game. Little Effie was watching her father, D. B. Griffith and several other men pitching, a number of children being some distance from the court. The children approached the danger line, unseen by any of the contestants, who were excited over the close match. Just as Griffith pitched the heavy quoit the little girl darted toward him with a cry of "Papa!" on her lips. The horrified parent stood petrified and saw the heavy quoit crash into his child's face, hurling her several feet and rendering her unconscious. When picked up she was apparently dead. Her nose and adjacent bone in the face and cheek were shattered and her skull fractured. She was rushed to the hospital and four physicians were summoned by the wealthy father. The child is still unconscious, however, with little chance for recovery. FOR NEW$2,500,000 FURNAC Bethlehem Steel Company Orders the Sixth One Built.

WOOD HELD IN DYNAMITE CASE STRIKE Head of Trust Is Charged With Conspiracy Growing Out of Lawrence Strike—Three More Accused. William M. Wood, president of the American Woolen company, the so-called "woolen trust," was arrested in Boston on an indictment charging him with conspiracy to distribute dynamite. The alleged offense was in connection with the general strike in Lawrence last winter, and the accusation is in line with the declarations of labor leaders that the dynamite found there was "planted" by enemies of the strikers to discredit them. Mr. Wood surrendered to the authorities and furnished $5000 cash ball. The American Woolen company, which bore the brunt of the great Lawrence strike, controls thirty-three manufacturing plants in New England and New York. It has a capitalization of $75,000,000 and employs 35,000 operatives. About 15,000 persons are on the payrolls of the company's mills in Lawrence. Mr. Wood, who is one of the best known men in textile circles in the United States, said, after a conference with Mr. McIsaac, the assistant district attorney: "I cannot conceive what information could have been presented to the jurors which in any way connected me with the so-called dynamite plot. I certainly had no connection with it, and this fact will be established fully at the proper time to the satisfaction of the public and even the district attorney. Beyond this I have nothing to say." Dennis Collins, of Cambridge, who was indicted and arrested on a charge of unlawfully having placed dynamite in a railroad passenger train for transportation, is in jail in default of $150 bail. Fred J. Atteaux, a manufacturer, who lives in Newton street, Brookline, also has been indicted in connection with the alleged conspiracy. He was served with an indictment warrant, but because of an injury he sustained by a fall at his home he did not appear in court. The arrest of Wood caused a sensation in business circles. He lives with his wife and three children at Andover. The indictment of Wood and three other men followed the suicide of E.W. Pitmann, a big mill builder, and an Andover neighbor of Wood, who admissions to District Attorney Pelt letter, it is asserted, led to the grand jury investigation. After being summoned to appear before the grand jury on Tuesday morning Pitmann ended his life by firing a bullet into his brain. Mr. Pelletier also got information leading to the indictments, it is said, from John J Breen, a Lawrence undertaker, who was fined $500 in the Salem court for placing dynamite. The discovery of dynamite in a Syrian lodging house, a cobblers' story, and a cemetery in Lawrence last January at the height of the texille strike, caused a sensation. The strike leaders then asserted that the dynamite had been "planted." Soon afterward Breen was arrested and was found guilty. PUBLIC BUILDING FUNDS Appropriations of Past Session For Pennsylvania Points.

He also won the contest, open to British subjects only, flying machines built in the United Kingdom. The purse was $5000. In each event he used a biplane of his own designing. Congress Orders a Big Probe The second session of the sixty-second congress, remarkable for its length and little business actually accomplished and the wealth of politics played, came to an end Monday evening. Both disputes which led to filibusters and prevented adjournment on Saturday were settled, Senators Penrose and LaFollette winning their fight for the adoption of the sweeping campaign fund investigation, and Senator Chamberlain agreeing to the incorporation of the claims he fought for in a general deficiency bill at the next session. The resolution offered by Senator Penrose to extend the inquiry of the Clapp committee investigating campaign funds into correspondence or financial transactions between John D. Archbold, George W. Perkins, Colonel Theodore Roosevelt and members of congress passed the senate without a roll call. Senator Chapp, chairman of the investigating committee, stated after the adoption of the Penrose resolution that his committee probably would no meet again before Sept. 30. As introduced the Penrose resolution merely called for an investigation on the alleged contribution of $100,000 by John D. Archbold to the Roosevelt campaign fund in 1904, but by amendments offered by Senator Reed, Democrat, of Missouri, and Senator Poindexter, Progressive, of Washington; it was enlarged. Mother and Six Children Burned. Hemmed in their burning home at Kingston, N. J., near Hoboken, Mrs Rossi Debaro and six of her seven children were burned to death. The children ranged in age from five months to twelve years. Debaro and his family made their home in a small structure not far from the railroad station. The first floor was used as a bakery; one room was occupied by Mrs. Debaro and the six younger children. Debaro and the oldest boy slept in the front room. Flames sweeping over the bed awoke Debaro and the boy. They darted to the doorway to rescue the woman and children, but flames checked them. With their night clothes blazing they jumped from the window. The building was destroyed before the volunteer firemen reached it. They seated the embers for the bodies and found five of them in a huddled heap near the center of the building. The woman, with the baby in her arms, lay hear the window. Apparently she had met death in a futile attempt to escape after awakening the children. Finds $3000, Reward a Cigar. George Rovegoy, a musician, of New York, found a wallet containing $3000 in the roadway in Lenox, Mass. Upon returning it to the owner he was met with the following expression of thanks: "Have a good five-cent cigar. Nothing's too good for you." Plough by Moonlight In Texas.

Death From an Odd Cause. G. A. Consman, of Terre Haute, Ind., died of spinal meningitis resulting from a wound in an eye caused by a match used in lighting a cigar. TRUST VIOLATED OIL DEGREE Government Charges Conspiracy In Plot to Destroy Business of Rival Firm—Archbold In Net. The first move of the government against the Standard Oil Co. since it was dissolved last November under the mandate of the supreme court of the United States to its thirty-three component parts to restore competition, was brought when the federal grand jury for the northern district of Texas returned an indictment against several oil men as representatives of the oil trust. Restraint of trade and commerce and unlawful conspiracy and combination in violation of the anti-trust laws are alleged in the indictments. It is charged that the individual defendants, the Standard Oil company and the Magnolia Petroleum company, conspired to destroy the business of the Plerce-Fordyce Oil association, of Texas. The specific offense is alleged to have occurred on June 29, 1912. The names of the following persons appear in the indictment: Calvin N. Paine, Titusville, Pa.; John D. Arehbold, New York; Henry C. Folder, Jr., New York; John Seallin, Galveston, Tex.; A. C. Ebie, Dallas, Tex.; E. R Brown, Corsicana, Tex.; W. S. Teagle, Plainfield, N. J.; Standard Oil Company of New York; Standard Oil Company of New Jersey; Magnolia Petroleum Company of Texas. At the department of justice it was said that the indictment was the result of a three months' investigation of charges that the decree dissolving the trust has been violated. The government, it was added, had not decided whether or not it would proceed on the question of the violation of the decree, which would involve contempt proceedings. The question was considered under the criminal feature of the Sherman law by the Texas-grand jury. Contempt proceedings would have to be undertaken directly before a federal court. Such action is beyond the function of a grand jury. The indictment, it is pointed out, will not bar the government from prosecuting for contempt of court in case that course is considered desirable. Officials of the department of justice believed, it was declared, that the initial move in the case should be made through a grand jury, and then if it developed that an indictment did not promise to satisfy the law's demands, they could resort to contempt proceedings as well. The special grand jury which returned the indictment had been working on the case since last Tuesday, when it was convened to consider the government's allegations and evidence. The celerity with which it concluded the inquiry surprised officials in Washington. A fight between Standard Oil interests and the Waters-Pierce Oil company, now pending in the federal court at St. Louis, involves the faithfulness of the Standard Oil in carrying out the decree of dissolution. The federal government is not a party to this suit, which was brought nominally by the state of Missouri to compel the inspectors of the election of officers of the Waters-Pierce Oil company at St. Louis last February to vote the proxies of the Rockefeller and other Standard Oil interests which are said to have named Standard Oil men as officials of the company. The inspectors refused on the ground that it would violate the dissolution decree. Confessed Killing Woman. Norman B. McCleary, the young athlete, who is held in Hagerstown, Md., on the charge of murdering Mrs. Nannie B. Henry in her home on Thursday, Aug. 15, is reported to have made a voluntary confession in writing. The confession is understood to have been made in the jail soon after McCleary was brought from Washington, where he was arrested at the instance of Miss Lupa Henry, his sweet heart, and a daughter of the murdered woman. On the night of Aug. 15 he went to the Henry home, and was told by Mrs. Henry that his visits to her daughter were unwelcome. He demanded to know where the girl, who had left the city, had gone, and Mrs. Henry refused to tell him. McCleary left in a rage and later returned to the house, entering the rear and creeping upstairs, entered Mrs. Henry's room. The woman again re-fused to give him the girl's address, harsh words followed, and McCleary, it is said, grabbed Mrs. Henry by the throat and choked her, throwing her upon the bed. He searched for a letter from the girl, but failed to find it. The following night he is said to have returned to the house and took money from Mrs. Henry's stocking. On Saturday night McCleary decided to make another search of the house and took the money that remained and is alleged to have found the letter containing the daughter's address in Washington. The next day McCleary left for that city. Democrats Save $7,000,000. The appropriations made by this session of congress for the expenses of the government this year amounted to $1,013,626,143.66, according to a statement made to the senate by Senator Warren, chairman of the appropriations committee. The total is less than that of last year by $7,046,738', and is $21,000,000 less than the estimates. Senator Warren expressed the belief that the reduction of appropriations would result in heavy deficits at the end of the year, or at least force congress to make additional appropriations at next winter's session. Senator Overman, a Democratic member of the appropriations committee, declared the adjourning congress had made a saving in appropriations. "We have saved the taxpayers of the country $7,000,000 this year," he said, "and that saving has been made despite an increase of some $37,000,-000 in the expenditures for pensions, rivers and harbors and for the post-office department." Son Kills Father Defending Mother. Fighting in defense of his mother, when she was attacked and beaten by his father, Edward Garton, a liveryman in Vineland, N. J., Henry Garton, twenty-one years old, killed his father by plunging a paring knife into his throat. The fight occurred in the evening, but the body was not found until midnight, as Mrs. Garton had fled to a neighbor's home when her husband attacked her, and the son disappeared immediately after stabbing his father. Later the son gave himself up to the authorities and is now in fall awaiting the action of the coroner. The elder Garton had been drinkirr for several days, and on reaching his home he started to casse his wife an daughter out of the house, it is said. When the son-attempted to protect his mother from abuse his father grabbed him by the neck and tried to choose him over a gas range. While in this position the son spied a potato paring knife lying on the table nearby. He grabbed it and commenced to pick at his father's neck. When the father released his hold the boy fled to the street, the other members of the family having meanwhile taken refuge with neighbors. Neighbors saw the son leave the house and walk away, but no one suspected the tragedy that had taken place. Several hours later the neighbor with whom Mrs. Garton had taken refuge went to the Garton home to see if it were safe for her to return home. As he entered the kitchen he found everything in darkness. He struck a match and in the glare of the flame saw the body on the floor. Life had been extinct for some hours, the regular vein having been severed. Millionaire Meets Horrible Death. Solomon Luna, millionaire banker and sheep grower, for sixteen years Republican national committeeman for New Mexico, and who refused to accept the election to the United States senate at the hands of the first state legislature, met a tragic death at Horse Springs, Socorro county, seventy-six miles from Magdalena, N. M. He fell into a vat containing thousands of gallons of sheep dip after being attacked with heart failure. *Becoming ill during the night, it is supposed that Luna went from his room to the dipping vat a few yards from the ranch house to get water and was stricken with sudden heart failure, falling into the mixture of lime, sulphur, tobacco and water. Kills Her Three Children. Mrs. Sarah Fycher quarreled with her husband in Brooklyn, N. Y. and later in his absence lay down on the bed with her four young children and turned on the gas. When Fycher returned three of the children—Muriel, five; Harold, four; and Edward, eight—were dead, and the mother was unconscious. A fourth child was revived. The mother has little chance of recovery. 53. Blooded Foxhounds Killed. Fifty-three blooded foxhounds; valued at $2000, in the kennels of W. Little and Al White, of Harmony.

Townsend of New Jersey, author of "Chimmle Fadden," told a yarn of poetical inspiration which is weird, to say the least. He was paying his first visit to Honolulu, some twenty-five years ago, and was greeted at the wharf by Charles Dana Stoddard, one of his close personal friends. Townsend had decided to go to one of the local hotels and Stoddard tried to dissuade him, desiring him to live at a bungalow high up Nuuanu valley, which the poet had occupied for some months. He described its charms as follows: "Ed, it's the most beautiful spot in the world. Slitting on the front porch you can look down the valley, over the wonderful flowering trees, groves of cocoanut palms and pollenianas, to the sea, with its hundreds of shades of color, from gray to the deepest blue of heaven. And for poetical inspiration I can sit on my back porch, where I do my work, and throw the ashes from my cigarette on the graves of two sulcides."—New York World. Testing Tea by Burning It Testing Tea by Burning It. "I bought tea the other day at a Japanese store." said the young housekeeper. "The propeller saw that I had doubts about the qualify, so he darted back to the rear of the store. I expected him to return with a cup of steaming tea, but he brought a small ash tray and match. He threw a pinch of tea into the tray, touched it with a lighted match and watched it burn. Then he applied the same test to another brand of tea that had claimed my half hearted alliance. The first sample showed only a small flake of ashes, the second three times as much. "Which shows,' said he, 'that the first tea is the best. That is an infallible test. The better the tea the fewer the ashes. I invite all my customers to test tea that way before buying.' "I took the ashless tea, of course. Since then I have wondered what the average American grocer would say if his customers should apply a lighted match to their tea canister before giving an order."—Washington Star. Telling the Time In Turkey: In Turkey the watch and clock are extremely rare, and a big crowd of persons could be rounded up on the street without finding a watch among them, but the natives have an exceedingly ingenious way of approximating the time, and some of them bit it with considerable accuracy. They locate two cardinal points of the compass and then, folding their hands together in such a manner that the forefingers point upward and in opposite directions, they observe the shade cast. In the morning or evening at certain known hours one finger or the other will point directly at the sun. A comparison of the two shadows will determine the hours between. Another system followed in that country and some others of the orient is to observe the eyes of a cat Early in the morning and evening the pupil is round. At 9 and 3 o'clock it is oval, and at noon it consists of a narrow slit—Buffalo Express. Satisfying Honor In India. They had a peculiar way of going into bankruptcy among the Marawaris in India, now unhappily giving way to the less picturesque method of the white man. When a man could not pay his bills he would summon his creditors. They were ushered into a room in which the thakur, or household god, was enshrined, but covered up with a cloth and with the face turned to the wall in order that it might not witness the scene that was to follow. The insolvent would then, in garb of mourning, lie on the floor, presenting his back to his creditors, who, on a given signal, would fall on him with shoes and slippers and belabor him till their wrath was exhausted. The beating finished, honor was declared to be satisfied all around. The Criterion of Danger The Duke of Wellington once drove Sir George Warrender from Windsor in his carriage. The duke drove so furiously that Sir George, dreading every moment that a terrible collision would occur, begged him not to drive so fast. "Pooh, pooh!" sald his grace. "Where there is no fear there is no danger." "My dear duke," replied Sir George, "if fear is the criterion of danger for heaven's sake stop and let me get out, for I was never in such a funk in my life."—London Mall. Not Afraid.

There are a few office holders who believe that Mr. Roosevelt will win in November, if not, they hope that Wilson will. The Bee will dispel the idea of the enemies of the administration that Mr. Roosevelt will win or stands any chance of winning. In the next place, if Wilson should win, Negro office holders will receive similar treatment those received under the Cleveland administration. Negroes who have been used to living on corn bread and fish and hash before they were appointed to office will return to their former bill of fare. Conditions in many departments of the government are unbearable now. What will be the conditions if the Democratic party should win? The democratic party doesn't care for the Negro. It doesn't want him. There is no hope for the Negro under a Democratic administration. The Negro should not forget Democratic rule under the Cleveland administrations. Claud M. Johnson, who was chief of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing discharged without cause over six hundred color I employees. The present chief, Mr. Rolph, when he took charge of the Bureau, reinstated a number of those discharged employees, or as many as the law would permit him to reinstate. Chief Rolph gives every man and woman a square deal. The many hundred colored employees in the Bureau will see the change. They will ever regret the defeat of the administration. There are thousands of hungry Democrats who are waiting and watching for the success of their party. While it is true that the Republican party has not done its whole duty towards the Negro, the freedom that he is enjoying today is due to the Republican party. Perhaps if those young Negroes who have not sufficiently felt Democratic oppression could only have a taste of what their fore parents felt they would pray to God for a continuation of Republican supremacy. Thousands of colored Americans who are now enjoying some of the fruits of this government will be divorced from the government. Let us pray for the success of the administration. MRS. JULIA LAYTON. The Washington Times is responsible for the article that The Bee reproduces in its issue this week to the effect that Mrs. Julia M. Layton has declared for Roosevelt and his "Bull Moose" party. The Bee has always admired this distinguished woman because she has ability and courage, and it has always said that she has never received that recognition due her. Mrs. Layton was a strong Taft advocate during the local contest for delegates in this city, and went so far as to offer her services in his behalf. A few weeks ago Mrs. Layton made application to the Taft headquarters to stump for the administration ticket. The editor of The Bee at the request of Mrs. Layton, wrote a strong letter to the committee in her behalf, and she was about to be appointed. The Editor of The Bee told the committee of the excellent qualities that she possessed and of her eloquence, logic and force and influence among her people. The Bee cannot at this time, account for the sudden and unexpected change in her religious belief. Mrs. Layton is a Baptist and was christened in that faith. If she changes her religious belief as quickly as she changes her political faith, The Bee would advise the people to whom she will speak to weigh her utterances carefully and put little faith in what she tells them, because she may change her faith from "Bull Mooseism" to Wilsonism; one is as bad and as dangerous to the Negro as the other. The Bee regrets that Mrs. Layton should have committed such a blunder. TAFT HONORS COLORED KNIGHTS. It was indeed an honor paid the colored Knight Templars to have the President review their parade, as he did during the recent National Conclave. And it was a very unusual thing to have their procession march through the White House grounds and under the portico where President Taft stood saluting them as they passed. The colored Knights Templar, assembled in National Conclave appreciate fully the honor the President did them. It was perhaps the first time in the country's history that a colored fraternal order marched through the White House grounds to be reviewed by the President of the United States. There was not a single Knight in that procession of three thousand swords, but who returned to his home praising President Taft for the consideration shown the order, and for the honor he conferred upon them. And the parade was in every respect as creditable as any of its kind ever reviewed by a President. ADVERTISE Trying to do business without advertising is like winking at a girl in the dark. You know what you are doing but she doesn't. If you are in business let the public know it. Advertise in The Bee and the public will know it. Washington propigates great men, and men who are not great. If the Honorable Charles D. Hilles, who is supposed to manage the Republican campaign, would drop into a bunch of Washington Negroes he would get a tip how to run the sun, moon and stars. James Poe suggests Henry Lincoln' Johnson as manager of the Negro end of the campaign, and the alleged National News Bureau Thompson seconds the motion. Now what has Henry Lincoln done to be handicapped by a hard-working, industrious man like Poe? "Everybody works but father," is a song that a few Washington near-statesmen should commit to memory. We are not aware that the great and only Poe ever heard the song in its entirety or not, but if he has not, we commend it to him, merely as a suggestion. That The Bee is popular our rapidly increasing circulation proves it. We have witnessed the coming and departing of many Negro newspapers who started to "fill a long felt want," and yet not one has caused The Bee-to miss a single issue since its first number was issued. Everybody takes The Bee but the few who read it without paying for it. You have to read The Bee to get the news. The annual meeting of the St. Lukes, at Richmond, Va., last month was a great success. Mrs. Walker deserves to be congratulated, as well as our district deputy, Mrs. Anderson, who is a hard and conscientious worker. The Bull Moose party has employed every pothouse politician as spellbinders. The Vermont election indicates the re-election of President Taft in November. The disgruntled politicians are like Roosevelt. What we need is an editorial press association. Legitimate editors of newspapers should organize a press association in deed and in fact. The Same Idea. It is recorded that Napoleon, when asked to summarize the art of war, answered briefly, "The art of war consists in being strongest at a given point at a given time." This answer was terse and true, but that born but unaught fighter, General Forrest, expressed the same idea, yet more briefly and forcefully. When the grim old Confederate was asked how to win in battle he replied, "Get that fust with the mostest men." WANTED. Men, Women, Boys, Girls.

PublicMen And Things PublicMen And Things The colored clerks and messengers sure did get a jolt in salaries last week. Over in the Sixth Auditor's office they tell me that no less than a dozen got directly under the ax. Syphax and Doc. Williams got it in the neck, the first getting a cut of $100 and the other going down to $720. Ocea Taylor, the ex-editor, and the bosom friend and interpreter for the late Thomas Jesse Jones, got sent back to the $900 grazing grounds, and Cupid Campbell, who lived like a gentleman on $340 will not experience the cost of high living on just $720 per annum. And Official Stenographer Davis, of the Negro Millionaire Association, who formerly enjoyed a stipend of $1,200 in the Department of Commerce and Labor will now have to worry along as a great statesman on $1,000 a year. Davis has one consolation, however, he is still one hundred dollars ahead, in salary, of the official reporter of the Millionaire, Association of Negroes. Just why these colored brothers, or at least so many of them, were hit with the salary ax, I don't know. I sympathize with the bunch, and would join in giving them a complimentary entertainment to raise money for coal this winter, but I ain't just certain what's going to happen in school circles when the gong sounds, so far fear I may be in toying a little later on. I heard all this dope down at the tennis court this week, so you see the tournament was a big success, so far as gossip went. If they would hold a tennis tournament every week, I'll bet a stick of sealing wax to a jar of peaches that I would have every woman's pedigree down to a cipher, and every man's invisible record down to the pen-point of a certainty. Nothing would escape me, for as a gossip tournament this tennis tournament was a Barnum and Bailey success. But getting back to Carpenter, won't some one who has the interest of the community at heart quietly tell him that he is a blooming success in everything but tennis? If no one will volunteer to tell him, I guess I will impart to him the gentle information myself, the next time I meet him alone. I don't think it right to tell him in the presence of anybody. That would be breaking the news to him too abruptly. *** I dropped into the Howard Theater last week. I enjoyed the pictures, and one or two of the acts was passable. But I want to say to Manager Thomas, with all the pathos and dumb ignorance of a fellow who squanders ten cents for a night on the Rialto, you ought to make some of those near-actors who appear at your amusement emporium cut out some of the vulgar stuff they got off. There are too many little girls and boys, of the impressionable age, who attend to hear such stuff, and the ladies who are too modest to wear a peek-a-boo waist lower than six inches below the neck, hate awfully to hear some of the things got off. Of course, I know you can never tell, till after the first night, what these hamfat actors are going to get off, but if I were you I would hang a sign back in the dressing rooms reading as follows: "Cut out all talk suited for over in the Division, because there are respectable people here." I know Thomas is doing his best to give the people what they want, and if he will make those ten cent headliners of his cut out their vulgar jokes and sayings he will confer a favor on Anthony Comstock, Geo. Cook, Kelly Millef, and even Jesse Foster. Now Andrew, I am handing you this just like a scolding wife hands her henpecked hubbie a bunch of love talk—all in the privacy of the public. Do you hear me? A GREAT TRIP. Dr. Childs and Party in the East. Moria Saunders Tells of a Good Time. Dr. Creed W. Childs, J. Moria Saunders, and William H. Taylor, the latter of Philadelphia, have just returned to this city after an extended automobile trip to New York and Atlantic City. The party left the city at 5' o'clock in the morning over two weeks ago, and by the time old Sol had burst forth its first beams the Chalmers 30, in which the party was traveling, was well on its way to Baltimore. The route to Baltimore was by way of Bladensburg and Hyattsville. About ten miles of bad road was encountered between Washington and Baltimore. When the Monumental City was reached gas and oil were taken on and the party continued its dash to Philadelphia, passing through Belair, Havre de Grace, over the Susquehanna River and into Perryville. From Perryville to within a few miles of Newark, Del, the roads were very sandy, but by making a detour 4.1 miles from Perryville the party was able to make good time. From Newark, Del, to Philadelphia the macadam road proved an incentive to fast traveling, and good time was made from there into Philadelphia, which was reached in the afternoon. Because of repairing the road, a detour was made around Chester, Pa, through Media and into Philadelphia via Wilmington, Del. Dr. Childs and his party stayed in Philadelphia over night and motored to Atlantic City the next day via Camden and the Famous White Horse Bike. The White Horse Pike follows the bridge route of the Pennsylvania Railroad for a goodly distance. The party reached Atlantic City in time to meet Miss Rosa Childs, of this city, and Miss Gertrude Bacchus, of Richmond, Va., who had just arrived from Washington. After spending several days in Atlantic City the party, with Misses Childs and Bacchus, returned to Philadelphia by the same route. Misses Childs and Bacchus returned to Washington, and the motorists left Philadelphia two days later for New York. Instead of taking the York Pike out of Philadelphia, the party crossed the Delaware and motored to New York by way of Camden, Moorestown, Mt. Holly, Bordentown, Theinton, Edinburgh, New Brunswick, Elizabeth, Newark, and across five miles of meadows into Jersey City. From Jersey City the route was via way of the Hudson. Boulevard to Third Street and over the 42d Street Ferry to New York City. The entire distance from Philadelphia to New York by this route was over the most perfect roads and through the most picturesque villages that this part of the country can afford. The State of New Jersey can well boast of the finest roads south of New York. The distance traveled over from Philadelphia to New York was 134 miles, and the party of four was sorry when such good "going" had to cease, while the Chalmers crept through the crowded thoroughfares of New York City. A tour of New York City, Brooklyn, and Coney Island was made, and two days after arriving the party, anxious to view the beautiful country which they had heard about on the ocean front between New York and Atlantic City, decided to make the trip back to Philadelphia by this new route. They left upper New York about 7:30, and after winding their way through the throngs on Broadway reached South Ferry, on which they crossed New York Bay in from of the Statue of Liberty to the little town of St. George, on Staten Island. From this point the party "hit it up" the length of the island—15 miles to Tottenville; where they crossed a second Ferry to Perth Amboy. From Perth Amboy the route was via Red Bank to Asbury Park. The scenery along the roads will long be remembered by the motorists. The party stopped in Asbury Park for about an hour and then struck inland from the ocean to Lakewood via Hamilton and Squankum. After leaving Lakewood the route again carried the party near the ocean through superb scenery. The next city to Lakewood is Toms River. Leaving Toms River the party passed through Barnegat, Absecon, Pleasantsville, where a sharp turn to the left carried them into Atlantic City—five miles away. The second trip to Atlantic City was very short. The party was compelled to visit the city the second time in order to have the advantage of the route which they took returning from New York. And they were well repaid for their pains. Staying in Atlantic over night, the Chalmers whizzed the party back to Philadelphia by the same route which they had previously taken—over the White Horse Pike. Mrs. Susie Williams, of Philadelphia, accompanied the party back to Philadelphia. They stayed in Philadelphia over Sunday and left at 5 A.M. Monday for Washington. The same road was traveled over returning to Newark, Del., as was traveled over going to Philadelphia, except that returning the party passed through Chester, Pa., and on to Wilmington, Del., which was reached a little after sun rise. After leaving Newark the party took a new road to Baltimore in order to avoid the bad roads which were encountered through Bel Air, Md. This new route carried them through Aberdeen, Churchville and into the Philadelphia Pike, which leads straight into Fayette Street, Baltimore. The Philadelphia Pike is a direct road, but quite hilly. After leaving Baltimore the motorists "hit" Wilkins avenue and returned to Washington over the same road through which they passed going. This is, via Beltsville, Eldridge. Hyattsville, and Bladensburg to 15th and H Streets Northeast. Dr. Childs' son Creed was at the wheel the entire trip and those who rode with him declare that he is an expert not only at the wheel of the car but with the machinery. Creed believes in taking care of the car himself, and not permitting anyone to tamper with any parts. And the car showed the results of his care, for the party returned to the city after traveling over a thousand miles, without a single mishap. His firest slogan is: "When a thing is doing good enough, let it alone and it will eventually do better." The trip was made more lively when the car ran over a black snake seven feet long, which was winding its way across the road. Of course, when the car with its occupants (3,000 pounds) passed over Mr. Snake, he could do no more than give the party an original exhibition of the snake dance. At another point a chicken heard the clucking of the engine in the car and thought it was the old hen calling jt. It made straight for the car and the car made straight for it with the result that—it's too painful to tell. The writer will state, however, that one of the occupants of the car who is very fond of fowl wanted to stop to pick it up and place it on the engine—which was red hot at the time—and have some broiled chicken for lunch. But all of the party agreed that going at 35 miles an hour with nothing but dust behind them was better than traveling at any other rate with an enraged farmer and shot gun behind them. The party returned to the city in the best of health and are jubilant over a trip so profitably spent. The bracing country air and the scenery lying along the various routes through which trains do not pass, made this one of the best, if not the best summers the party has spent. Ordination Council. On Wednesday, August 28, 1912, an ordination council was assembled at Oakland Baptist Church, pastored by Rev. O. H. Wood, Theological Seminary, Va., for the purpose of examining, and if found worthy, ordaining to the work of the Gospel ministry, Bro. William Saunders, a member of Oakland Baptist Church, and who had previously been licensed by said Baptist Church. Among those who participated in the council were Revs. C. H. Coleman, F. W. Graham, D. D., O. H. Wood, D. Catlett, D. G. Henderson, D. D., Bro. Givens, Revs. Hawkins, J. E. Fields, and others; space forbids mention. The candidate passed a creditable examination on his Christian experiences and evidence, call to the ministry, the scriptures, doctrine of the Baptist church and call to the pastorate of the Second Baptist Church of Clifton, Va.; the time employed in the examination lasting till late in the evening. Rev. C. H. Coleman, D. C., was moderator of the council, with Rev. F. W. Graham, D. D., secretary, and the pastor, Rev. O. H. Food, as catechiser. The weather was fine, the spirit of the meeting full of Christian fellowship and union, and the work of the council reverently and orderly done. The young minister goes forth by an ordination impressively bestowed upon him, and we trust the relations now to obtain between Rev. Wm. Saunders and his church, the Second Baptist, at Clifton. Va., will be sustained by a full achievement in their labors for the Master. SUDDEN CHANGE She First Declared for Taft (From the Times, Sept. 2.) "One of the most prominent colored women of Washington, Mrs. Julia Mason Layton, will make a series of speeches in different parts of the country in behalf of the Progressive party and Roosevelt. Mrs. Layton is the wife of Prof. John T. Layton, teacher of music in the colored schools of Washington. She is president of the Colored Women's Baptist Association here, and is known as an orator of ability. "Mrs. Layton is a believer in women's suffrage, and she will speak in Ohio among the colored people in behalf of suffrage, which is an issue there this fall. She is supporting the Progressive party because of the fact it is intelligently advocating numerous social reforms. She has gone to New York for the purpose of arranging her tour of speeches at the national headquarters." Mrs. Layton first declared for President Taft a few weeks ago, and made application to the Taft bureau for work. The Bee, at her request, indorsed her application as a speaker. This sudden change of faith to the Bull Moose candidate needs an explanation. WHAT HAS BECOME OF IT. Negroes are Thinking—Are We The Freedman Savings Bank Depositors—Senator Culloms Bill. Editor Bee: "Beware of Alexander"—The Dangers Just a short time before the Republican convention at Chicago it was announced that Senator Cullom, of Illinois had offered an amendment to the civil service bill providing that $1,200,000 be given the Freedman bank depositors. But since then I've heard nothing from it, notwithstanding I wrote the Senator thanking him and calling his attention afresh to the great wrong done our poor race in that gigantic swindle. During the existence of the bank—nine years—it handled not less than $5,000,000 of deposits, our poor old grandfathers and grandmothers having been lead to believe that the safety of the institution was guaranteed by the national government. And the national government finally did get its hands on what was left when the bank broke. There were $2,900,000 of unsecured debts, and the assets yielded about $1,700,000. The government appointed three bank commissioners to wind up the affairs of the bank, at a salary of $3,000 each. The winding up process cost $475,000. What was left of the $56,000 went into the hands of the United States government, through the comptroller of the currency. It is said that dividends have been paid at various times, but that many small depositors through "ignorance and despair" forfeited their dividends by not calling for them. Here is another fact that makes the government a party to the great hold-up of its hard-working citizens. It's fair to assume that not one out of a hundred depositors knew anything about the "dividends" and why should they be forfeited because they were not called for? Fully eighty per cent of the original depositors have long since gone to the grave, but the government is in possession of the books and knows who they are. I am heir to one of the biggest depositors at Augusta, Ga., who has long since gone to his reward, but he never got a cent of "dividends"—and it's fair to suppose that he, like thousands of others, now dead, never heard of them. Meanwhile the cold millions of the poor ex-slaves have been used by the government low these many years. Wouldn't be fair play and simple justice to suggest that this government, which boasts so much of its greatness, be great enough to return that money to the heirs of the depositors? "Thou shalt not steal" applies as much to governments as to individuals. Very truly. S. H. BLOCKER Dropsy Treated By Mail Dropsy Shortness of breath relieved in 24 hours.

BURTON CADETOFFICER The Bottom Club Outing. On Sunday, September 1, 1912, the Bottom Club left 15th Street and New York Avenue Northwest at 9:45 A.M. for Annapolis, Md. on a special car of the B. and A. Electric line. The car was laden with the best the markets of Washington could afford, with Bacchus in all of its forms reigning supreme. Three waiters were kept busy supplying members and guests alike from time of starting until our destination had been reached. One of the distinguished quartets rendered stag music as well as four pieces of string music to enliven the occasion. Geo. W. Jackson, worthy master of ceremonies, was present with his wit and humor. On arriving they were lead by our mascot, little James Hockley. We visited the Naval Academy and the warships lying in the harbor, next the State capitol building, a cross town walk to Adams' New Electric Park, where we made headquarters until the time of our departure. Boating, fishing and crabbing were among the many sports. At 2:30 P. M. Mr. Solomon Dade, general manager of the Bottom Club, by means of megaphone, called the club to assemble on the pavilion and introduced Dr. S. G. Holmes, medical director of the club, who gave a brief but stirring explanation of the object and purpose of the Bottom Club. JOHN H. HARRIS MR. MOSES DADE Following Dr. Holmes was Mr. Jas. Jackson, vice president of the club, who culogized on what had already been brought before the body. Dr. Robert C. Peyton, one of our popular dentists, of 1229 Pennsylvania Avenue Northwest, spoke of his high appreciation for the hospitality shown him at all times by the Bottom Club, and especially for the grandest outing of his life. Short speeches by Messrs. Addison Syphax, Walter Weaver, Walter Honesty and others filled with great enthusiasm. The motion to make this an annual affair was carried. After this the manager made the closing remarks and we entered the grove for more pleasure. On our way home, leaving Annapolis at 7 P.M., we feasted all the way to Washington. Never was there a time when the taste of the most fastidious could not have been satisfied. We feel especially grateful to Mr. TUSKEGEE "I regard the Tuskegee Institute as the most considerable educational invention of modern times," writes Professor W. I. Thomas, Professor of Sociology in the University of Chicago. TUSKEGEE'S INDUSTRY TUSKEGEE'S INDUSTRY. Industry is the spirit of Tuskegee—industry and discipline are made a habit. The choice of some 40 trades is offered young men and young women. Tuskegee graduates are earning from $50.00 to $80.00 and $100.00 per month as Academic Teachers, Farm Managers, Steam and Electrical Engineers, Tailors, Teachers of Domestic Science, Nurses—in fact the demand for men and women trained in all the trades at Tuskegee is far beyond the supply.

(From Daily Sun, Cal.) "The Fighting Parson," Rev. Dr. J. Gordon McPherson, known throughout the country as the militant black evangelist, whose fiery eloquence and forensic powers have thrilled thousands and won international fame as a speaker, reached the city Saturday evening and addressed three large gatherings Sunday, at Damron Hall, in the interest of raising money for the New Hope Baptist Church building. Dr. McPherson some weeks ago led one of the greatest evangelistic campaigns ever witnessed at San Diego. It was reported that thousands were held spell-bound and charmed by the matchless eloquence of the famed black preacher. Aside from the busy life of an evangelist, Dr. McPherson is editor of "The Voice of the West," the only illustrated Negro magazine in the far West. As the doctor is a Spanish War veteran and leading Negro progressive, he has been a strong admirer of and has always championed the cause of Colonel Roosevelt. In discussing the attitude of Colonel Roosevelt on the Negro question Sunday, Dr. McPherson said in part: "The once-strenuous 'Teddy' is playing the part of a weak-trimmer, who would do, anything to win the election. He is smarting under his defeat at the Chicago convention, and the Southern Negro delegates remembered his ingratitude to the black soldiers who saved his life at Las Guasimas, when ambushed in Cuba. He repaid them by turning innocent men out of the army in disgrace because of the Brownsville riot. "The black delegates had a chance to even an old score and they did it with a vim. Even then thousands of Negro men and women had faith in Colonel Roosevelt, and blindly followed his leadership even into the new party, but his recent utterances place him in the front ranks of dangerous, self-seeking political demagogues, unworthy of a man that has been honored with the exalted position of the Presidency of this great nation. Ten millions of intelligent Negroes of America, with their billions of wealth, will not submit longer to political proscription, and Colonel Roosevelt and his gang of visionary dreamers will realize that he cannot break the Democratic solid South by making the Negro voters of the South polit- --- Girl in Institute Hat and Uniform ED IN ALL THE TRADES AT TUS REALITIES.

"The platform of the Bull Moosers is not one of progressiveness, but of retrogression. My advice to the Negroes of the country who are dissatisfied with the grand old Republican party is to pin the Democratic Donkey ears back, grease him well and swallow Wilson, but by all means steer clear of the Bull Moose. "The once loyal Negro Progressives are deserting the so-called Progressive party like rats from a sinking ship, and since the spluttering Colonel has slammed the door of hope in the Negros face, we will do our best from now until the last ballot is cast to keep him out of the White House." Dr. McPherson will go East in ten days as a delegate to the National encampment of the Spanish War Veterans at Atlantic City, N.

The attitude of the commanding generals of the north and the south toward each other, after the final surrender, writes Mr. Thomas Nelson Page in his book on General Lee, is one that the world regarded with astonishment, and the Americans may forever look back upon with pride. In illustration, Mr. Page offers an engaging anecdote from Long's memoir of Lee. It appears that on the afternoon of the day of the surrender at Appomattox, Meade paid a friendly visit to Lee at his headquarters. In the course of the conversation Lee turned to Meade, who had been associated with him as his officer of engineers in the "old army," and said, pleasantly: "Meade, years are telling on you. Your hair is getting quite gray." "Ah, General Lee," was Meade's prompt reply, "that is not the work of years. You are 'responsible for my gray hairs.'" Herbert Spencer's notions of art were very crude. His favorite color was what he called "impure purple." He wore "impure purple" gloves and, finding that the furniture was a little somber, had a binding of "impure purple" pasted around it by a seamstress. He cut the first strip himself and showed her how to stick it on with paste. He had his vases filled with artificial flowers. He wished to have everything bright about him and consequently enjoyed color. When it was suggested he could get that in real flowers he replied: "Booh! They would want constant replenishing!"

"I hope to God," Wellington said one day, "that I have fought my last battle. It is a bad thing to be always fighting. While in the thick of it I am too much occupied to feel anything, but it is wretched just after. It is quite impossible to think of glory. Both mind and feelings are exhausted. I am wretched even at the moment of victory, and I always say that, next to a battle lost, the greatest misery is a battle gained." * * * The expression of his face, which was lit up by an intensity of feeling, gave those simple words an eloquence which went straight to the listener's heart. I was that listener. "It is experience," he said another time, "that gives me the advantage over every other officer. 'Nothing new can happen to me, and I always feel confident that I shall succeed. The troops feel the same confidence in me. For that reason I firmly believe that if anything had happened to me at Waterloo the battle was lost. I told Lord Uxbridge so. * * * Soon after a ball hit him. It must have passed over me or my horse! But the finger of God was upon me."—Diary of Frances, Lady Shelley. An Official Report on the Cat An Official Report on the Cat. The commander of a commissariat department in one of the large Prussian towns received from the board of control the following official inquiry: "Why was there a daily expenditure of 5 penniig (about 3 farthings) for the cat of the military stores depot, while for the cat of the forage depot only 3 penniigs were required for the purchase of milk?" Not such an easy question! The explanation officially furnished by the commander ran as follows: "The cat of the forage department is nourished on the mice which have fattened on the corn and meal, but the cat of the military stores department has only the mice which get a scanty living by guawing the leather straps. This is the reason for the extra expense for milk for the latter." The-explanation must have sufficed, for thereafter the milk ration for the depot cat remained undisputed.—London Tt-Bits. Eyes That Become Stars. Eyes That Become Stars The most remarkable belief or superstition concerning the human eye is one that is current in Australia. Among the natives of that country it is the general belief that the left eye of every chief becomes a star the moment the chief in question is done with it. The sun, they say, is the eye of the "greater god" and the moon the eye of the "lesser god." All the stars were once the left optics of human beings of high rank. Shungle, a celebrated chief, once ate the eye of a vallant chief, thinking thereby to increase the brilliancy of his own "eye star." But the eye burned through Shungle and killed him, whereupon his own left eye became joined to the one he had eaten, and the two may now be seen as a beautiful double star lying just to the east of the Southern Cross. American Restaurants. What disconcerts the European in the great American restaurant is the excessive, the occasionally muddling slowness of the service and the lack of interest in the service. Touching the latter defect, the waiter is not impolite he is not neglectful. But he is too of ten passively hostile or at best neutral He or his chief has apparently not grasped the fact that buying a meal is not like buying a ton or coal. If the purchaser is to get value for his money he must enjoy his meal, and if he is to enjoy the meal it must not merely be efficiently served, but it must be efficiently served in a sympathetic atmosphere. The supreme business of a good waiter is to create this atmosphere—Arnold Bennett in Harper's. An English Bellman. Some occupations attain importance simply by surviving. The bellman was not held in much esteem when he was really useful, but now in such places as he still pursues his "calling" he is quite a personage. In one fashionable west country health resort the bellman goes around in a smart uniform, mounted on a pony and when he has cried his news, generally offers of reward for lost property, delivers a discourse to his hearers concerning himself as the only mounted bellman in England and then produces picture post cards with his photograph, which seem to have a ready sale—London Standard. Sneezing. Sneezing is the best brain clearer known. Many persons conclude an attack of faintness or falting with a violent sneeze Our ancestors took snuff from a belief in the efficacy of sneezing. But tobacco so taken is in part absorbed into the blood and huts the system. Tickling the nostrils with a feather or straw will act as well as taking snuff. Try it when you feel faint. It cannot do harm. Believable! "Do you know that I had two offers of marriage last week?" asked a plain girl of a friend. "Oh, I am delighted, dear!" the friend exclaimed. "Then the report that your uncle left you his money is really true?" Cheerfulness. If there is need of joyousness and good cheer in our words and looks and demeanor it is when we feel least like it and when others about us are most likely to be helped by it. Patience is the finest and worthiest part of fortitude, and the rarest too. Ruskin. The mayor of an Australian mining town, who was a noted boxer, had been absent for some months, and just before his return to his mayoral duties his colleagues passed a vote of censure on him. At the next meeting of the town council the mayor was present and found the minutes of the previous conference to contain this: "A vote of censure was passed on the mayor for outstaying his leave, and it was resolved to ask for an explanation." "Who proposed this vote of censure?" inquired the mayor. "I did," said a councilor. "You did, did you?" said the mayor, stepping from his presidential chair. "Then take that!" and he struck him violently in the face. "Who seconded the resolution?" he asked quietly. There was no answer. "Who seconded this resolution?" he asked again. Still there was no answer. "Then," said the mayor, taking up his pen, "as there was no seconder. it's out of order. Strike it off the minutes!" Electing a' Queen Cowl In the Rhone valley, Switzerland, an extraordinary ceremony is carried out every July. This is the choosing of a queen cow by the cows themselves. A large number of cows, over 200 at times, are assembled in a field to choose their queen. The queen cow is the one which is strong enough to fight all the other cows off the pasture and remain in possession of it herself. The owners of the cows are not allowed to encourage their beasts in any way. The honor of owning a queen cow is keenly coveted by the local herdsmen and they do everything they can in order to turn their animal out a winner. In their eagerness to bring their beasts fit and well on the day of battle many of the herdsmen feed them a week or a fortnight beforehand on bread and wine. The cows descend from a fighting race and are always eager to have a scrap. The "election" of the queen cow often lasts-the greater part of the day and is watched by crowds, who come to the scene from miles round. The Sad Case of Jane Hobbs. Not so long ago a Lancashire road breaker sold his wife to another man and thought the transaction was perfectly legal because he had placed a halter round her neck, the end of which he put in the hand of the purchaser after the money had been paid. This belief rises from the custom of olden days, when wives were actually led into the market place with halters round their necks and sold to the best purchaser. It was this custom which led to the humorous slitty which runs: "A jolly shoemaker, John Hobbs, he married Jane Carter; no damsel was smarter, but she was a tartar, Jane Hobbs. So he tied a rope to her, Jane Hobbs, and like a lamb to the slaughter to Smithfield he brought her; but nobody bought her, Jane Hobbs. 'Oh, who wants a wife?' cried Hobbs; but somehow they tell us those Hobbie trading fellows were all of them sellers, like Hobbs."—London Spectator. Auction Bidding by Electricity Auction Bidding by Electricity Dutch market gardeners do not take their produce to the "middleman," but make him come to them and purchase it. They have co-operative auction marts, and the produce is sold by auction run by electricity, at which quality is guaranteed by the Growers' Cooperative society. At the auction not a word is said beyond the announcement of the quantity in the lot for sale. There is an electric push below each merchant's seat communicating with a clock face with numbers on it. The pointer on the dial face is set going. When it reaches the figure some merchant is willing to pay he touches his push, the pointer stops, and without any possibility of mistake and without any one except the clerks knowing the buyer's name, the goods change hands, A Patient Man. The endurance of the music lover who sits, out one of Wagner's long "King" operas has often been commented upon, but perhaps not more forcibly than in London. Well up above the stage was a burly figure in homespun, evidently a Scottish farmer who had come to London to see the sights and hear the sounds. After sitting through three long acts he murmured audibly, "Twas a patient mon that wrote all this!" Impertinent. Originally the word "impertinent" signified merely "not belonging to." When Wycliffe said that there were many men in this world who were "impertinent to earthly lords" he did not mean that they were "cheeky," but merely that they had no masters. Then, as used by Shakespeare, "impertinent" came to mean "irrelevant." Just 200 years ago it was defined as signifying "absurd, silly, idle."

W; If it were not for the well known and established mercenary character and venal inclination of the Negroes throughout this country who are now falling over themselves in support of Col. Roosevelt, the Independent could not escape the conclusion that the race is a consummate set of ingrates and mercenaries. But we know the men; we know their character and they are not representative of the highest type of Negro manhood. They are charmed and dazed by the millions furnished by the trusts, in support of Col. Roosevelts campaign. The Roosevelt Negroes learned early that the Steel Trusts, the International Harvest Trust, and a bunch of other trusts were behind Mr. Roosevelt's campaign, not because they loved him more, but purely out of their hatred for Mr. Taft, who had indicated them and hauled them into court to answer for the many crimes they had perpetrated against humanity. The Negro politician is boodle hungry, boodle bent, and the question of principle cuts but little ice with the average political Negro when a dollar is in sight. Four years ago the same bunch that is now following Col. Roosevelt with a desperation that brooks at no difficulty, were denouncing him as an arch traitor to the race. The Negro press was rife with denunciations, abuse and slander against the Colonel. Roosevelt has not changed. He is the same determined, iron-willed, selfish, arrogant political boss today that he was when he was President of the United States and discharged the soldiers. He is the same tyrant and boss who drove Senators Foraker and Bulkley and other staunch friends of the race to their political graves because they dared stand up and fight for what they conceived to be an equal opportunity for all men. Senator Foraker spent thousands in money, exhausted his energy and gave up his place in the national life in the defence of our cause. He did not defend the soldiers because it would help him or because he needed any defense to stay in public life. He knew the man he was fighting; he knew his resourcefulness; he knew his determination, his iron will and his disposition to destroy every man he could not control. Yet because he believed in fairness and justice to all men, because he believed that the soldiers had not had a square deal and that the evidence did not warrant the verdict, he staked all and lost. The Negroes in this country sided with him, they sang his praise, did what they could to nominate him for President as a vindication of the charges and persecution that Theodore Roosevelt had heaped upon him. This is the same Roosevelt who persecuted Foraker that the Negroes are now supporting. It is not that they love Roosevelt more, if they were sincere then, but that they see tainted money. In the light of the support that the mercenary element of cor race is giving the former President, can we confidently hope to ever have another white man to appear in court and represent our cause? Must not all honest statesmanship and every lover of human liberty brand us as a race of ingrates, when we turn from Foraker, our benefactor, to Roosevelt, our malefactor? If for no other reason than gratitude to Joseph Benton Foraker, every Negro in this country who loves liberty, who possesses the least racial pride, who believes in the integrity of American manhood, who believes in a fair and impartial trial by a jury of his peers, should oppose Roosevelt and his. Bull Moose movement, and stand by the party of Lincoln, Grant and Foraker. Ingratitude is the basest sin. The man who can forget the hand that made him, that defended him, that struck for his liberty, upheld him when he was down, must be regarded by all manly men, all patriotic men, all true manhood as a character whom all honest men detest and villains distrust. A vote for Roosevelt is a heel upon Foraker's neck. Why should we elevate into prominence in the American heart the man who oppressed us and is leading the revolt against the party of our fathers? Why should we lend assistance and encouragement to the party of disfranchisement, Jim Crowism and Negro oppression by following the man whose one object and purpose is, revenge? Teddy Roosevelt is the most arbitrary, arrogant and tyrannical boss American politics ever produced. Bosses of the Quay, Platt and Hanna regime were easy and persuasive in their manner and methods. They drove nobody but led in the development of Republican policies and sentiment, and as a result of their leadership, the country enjoyed the most prosperous and progressive era in the history of the nation. But as a boss, Theodore Roosevelt is the opposite—arrogant, selfish, dictatorial, tryannical and oppressive in the extreme; abusive and slanderous with unlimited means and with a resourcefulness and intellect that no other boss in the country has ever possessed. He has driven the party and our institutions at a fearful gait. Will the Negro, for the sake of a dollar follow his revenge to the overthrow of the Republican party and the destruction of our institutions? Senator Foraker, the most brilliant and ablest statesman in the Upper House of Congress since Conkling's day, gave up public life that Negro soldiers might be vindicated and that their record of bravery, and chivalry in the field of battle might be some recommendation in their defense, and not a circumstance to argue against their usefulness. Roosevelt said not. He discharged them, he dishonored them, and made their restoration impossible. Yet he appeals to the same people to place him in a position where he can repeat the same act against the race. We are not a race of ingrates. We are a people with grateful hearts. We appreciate and are responsive to the hand that uplifts us, to the voice that defends us and to the heart that loves us. We cannot forget the Senator. He may have been wrong, and he may have been right, but it mat- And also containing an account of the wonderful growth the Negro race has made in this country since their emancipation, in all the States, both in Denominational and State schools.

W. --- ters but little whether he was right or wrong, he was honest and sincere, and he struck for the soul he believed to be righteous, he defends the truth as he had the light and conscience to see it. Mr. Roosevelt was obstinate, obdurate, uncompromising, revengeful, unreasonable; he would not listen to the appeals of his friends or the justness of our cause. Not satisfied in condemning us to punishment to the last during his reign as king, he took the pains to fix matters so that no successor could reinstate us or right the wrong that the people believed he had perpetrated against the flower of the American Army. If he believes in a square deal he would repudiate the conduct of his managers throughout the country in excluding Negroes from the party that he is now engaged in organizing for the purpose of wreaking vengeance upon the party that made him. Are we ingrates? Have we forgotten Foraker? Is a tainted dollar worth more to us than friends? Can we afford to lend our vote to the crafty politician to oppress our friends and permanently intrench themselves in power? No, the Negro is Republican, and constitutes a conservative element that the nation has always been able to rely upon in the time of peril, whether the impending calamity involves war with the sword, with the trusts or with the despoilers of human liberty.—Atlanta Independent. DEATH OF JOHN SCOTT. In the death of the late John H. Scott, who was a resident of this village during the past fifty-six years, Oberlin has lost one of her best known citizens. Mr. Scott was born in Fayetteville, N. C., on the 6th day of December, 1827. His parents were William Scott, colored, and Sarah Chance, Scotchwoman, who were lawfully married in Sampson county, N. C. In early life Mr. Scott married Miss Cecelia Bryant and continued to reside in Fayetteville until his coming to Oberlin in 1856. Mr. Scott's first Oberlin residence was located on the west side of South Main street on the present site of the Rowland drug store, where he resided several years, until he moved to his last residence, 38 East Vine street. Being a harness and trunk maker by trade, Mr. Scott did a flourishing business until the beginning of the war, when he enlisted and did service in the Union army. Mr. Scott was one of Oberlin's most noted abolitionists. During the flourishing period of the underground railway, Mr. Scott rendered frequent and valuable services in aiding the fleeing slaves on their way to freedom. On the occasion of the Wellington rescue, Mr. Scott was conspicuous as one of the rescuers, and with the others, who were subsequently arrested and suffered imprisonment for participating in the rescue, he shared the penalty. In later years, the winters becoming so severe, Mr. Scott moved to Chattanooga, Tenn., where he engaged in various occupations, notably undertaker and furniture dealer. Mr. Scott was known as a man of strict integrity, public spiritedness and ever regarded as a good citizen. He was an ardent temperance advocate and took a deep interest in any contest to eliminate the saloon-evil. Mr. Scott was of a deep religious temperament, which he proved by long years of consistent Christian Service. He died largely from the effects of old age, leaving behind him a numerous progeny, located in Oberlin and various parts of the United States, among whom are his widow, Mrs. Cecelia Jones, two daughters, Mrs. Almira Jones of Greensboro, N. C., and Mrs. Jennie Conner, of Indianapolis, Ind., and numerous grandchildren. A grand old warrior, blessed with years of service to mankind, Mr. Scott died trusting in the promises which sustain, at last, every good and faithful servant. Funeral services were held Friday afternoon at the family home, Rev. C. N. Pond a friend of the deceased for half a century, officiating. Prayer was offered by Rev. Jason Noble Pierce, Interment was made in Westwood. Lowest Prices Best Work TRIANGLE PRINTING CO.
