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 NO.17 WASHINGTON, D. C., SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 28, 1912 MISSN.H.BURROUGHS Elected the Twelfth Time Corresponding Secretary of Woman's Auxiliary—Raised More Money Than any Board—White Women Given Time to Hear the Pet of the Baptist Denominacy—Great Ovation and Presentation of $25,00 Table Cloth—Entertained in the Most Beautiful Home in Houston. Hinston, Lex. col. 18. There is a great time here among the women Baptists. Most Naraine H. Burroughs of Washington, D. C., receiving the greatest oval that has ever been accorded anybody. For the twelfth time she was elected corresponding secretary of the Woman's Auxiliary. National Baptist Convention. The people in this section of the country regard her as one of the greatest and most influential women in the colored race. She is given the credit for "raising more money than any board that does not sell literature but depends upon donations to do the work." The white women of Houston informed their girls that they could have the time off to hear her speak on last Thursday. The hall was packed and she electrified her audience. It was the greatest ovation that has ever been given anybody, white or black, rich or poor. The white women of this place were largely in attendance, and at the conclusion of her address she received a great reception and congratulations from white and black. Editor Lane dubbed Miss Burroughs the "pet" of the Baptist Denomination. Miss Burroughs was entertained in the most beautiful home in Houston, as an evidence of the esteem in which she is held by the people in the South. Your correspondent is giving you nothing but facts, and as they have been published in the white press in this city, it is the wish of the people here to let the people of the world know in what esteem she is held by the people in the South. Miss Burroughs' report to the convention covers 51 pages. The most important event of the convention was the introduction of Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, who said: 1913 will mark the fiftieth anniversary of our emancipation. This event should be solemnized by an exposition, indicative of the marvelous progress through the country. At rest that Negro should erect as his deeper expression of gratitude, a National Memorial Arch, to be built at the entrance of our Training School on Lincoln Heights; and that the center be adorned by a large-size portrait of Lincoln, in relief. We have nowhere in this country a memorial to the great emancipator, and Lincoln Heights at the National Capital is a fit place for it. It is at the seat of government, and at the foot of the beautiful sublimation named for America's most illustrious President and, our great benefactor. We recommend that the Lincoln Memorial Commission, consisting of five of the most active and energetic persons in each State, be appointed to advise ways and means for the erection of the arch, and that this Commission be urged to push the work so that the memorial may be dedicated during the anniversary year. Our plan is to call upon every man, woman and child of the race to give not less than ten cents and not more than one dollar. We want everybody, regardless of denomination, to have a part in this tribute. We want the memorial to be National in the truest sense of the word. It is our purpose to record the name of every denor, and to keep this record as one of the most valuable possessions of this organization. An Executive Memorial Committee, consisting of just five persons, who can give their time exclusively to the work, should be appointed. It will be their business to get out printed matter, supervise the work of the commission, and attend the State and other meetings to arouse interest in the project. Gratitude thus expressed will teach many great lessons, and above all strengthen the race to whom freedom has meant a great opportunity in a great country. Expansion. The organization that does not grow will die. Many very intrenchment, when God orders expansion. Those who are disinterested, short-sighted, selfish and lazy will always hold back from service. They will not give of their time, talents nor money, and they will discourage others from giving. The cry comes to us even now, that we will over-burden ourselves, but have you not as yet learned that this is God's work and that He bears the burden. This is God's work and He holds the wealth of the world in His hand. Nothing is too great for us to undertake in His name and for His sake. This Convention must, grow. It must stretch itself until it shall cover in its activities every field of need. Your gifts and your activities must be commensurate with your opportunity and your obligation. Our organization has its hands on more women than any other religious organization in the world. These same women need more help, more encouragement than any other women in the world. You do not know just how many women we are, reaching. Our Field Missionaries, Field Secretary, Corresponding Secretary and the thousands of -printed pages we scatter abroad goes in every city, hamlet and town in this country, bearing messages to thousands of women whom you have never seen and never will see. But, their lives are counting and we must make them count more in the uplift and development of the race. The mass of women whom we reach are in the most plastic state. This mass represents influence and power. Our task is to properly develop and utilize the power. A united, powerful force is ours to command. There are several centers, such as Birmingham, New Orleans, Chicago and New York, in which this convention should have social workers. There are great rural sections, entirely neglected. They are without missionaries and leaders. The women and children suffer as a result, of this neglect, and the convention must in some way plan to help the people where they need help most. The home life must be improved. The children car be trained. The moral tone of the community can be elevated, and it is truly our business to do it. It is true, we have no money with which to employ trained workers, but we can do a great many things without money, and when we begin doing things, somehow, the money comes. As a practical part of our Home Mission work, we urge the women here to give more attention to civic improvement. Let us decide this year to make our backyards as clean as our front yards, and adorn them with grass and flowers. The expense is nothing and the comfort, health and pleasure will be worth thousands of dollars to the community and to the race. Do not use your back yards as dumping grounds for ashes, tin cans, old bones, bottles, iron and rubbish of every kind. Go home and get the women of your town interested in back yard improvement. Repair the broken down fences. Clean out all of the rubbish; whitewash and put things in order. Clean out germ-breeding cells and rubbish in corners in our homes. This is the only practical way to show that education and Christianity is counting in the development of the race. Have you a picture of your back yard before you today? Is it a beautiful, inviting place? Or is it unsightly and unhealthy? Are the premises in condition to be inspected at any moment? I tell you, my friends, there is more to this Home Mission work than collecting old clothes and giving them to the poor people, praying long prayers, making big speeches, while our homes are unkept, our children neglected, and our influences in the community of our value. Home Missions mean clean lives and clean homes in America, while foreign missions mean clean lives and clean homes outside of America. 'Do you believe in either or in both? If in the former, you must work constantly; if in the latter, you must give constantly; if in both, you must work and give constantly. An Appeal to the Christian White Women of the South. We meet today in the new South; social, religious and industrial conditions are changing here. There is persistent effort on the part of the progressive, Christian statesmen and the high-minded citizens of this section, to turn the attention of the new South away from the everlasting discussion of the Negro problem to a discussion of those broader, humanitarian questions, to which the best men and women the world over are giving their thought, and upon which they are centering their activities. The South has not profited by the continued discussion of the Negro question; nor has it it profited by its unfair and unchristianlike treatment of the Negro. In fact, both races have suffered as a result of the injustice practiced by that element that feels that the Negro has no rights that the white South is bound to respect. The Negro has proved his love and loyalty to our Southland by suffering these afflictions without resentment. We have continued to make the best of a most trying situation. It seems that we have been prepared to suffer thus, and yet to prosper. As a result, we own more homes and farms, schools and business enterprises in the various sections in which we have suffered most. Persecution has been a spur, because the Negro is determined to live, and he has always found enough friends, even in the South, who are willing to help him in his effort to live. But, what effect has this condition had upon the soul of each race? It engenders bitterness and hatred. It crucifies much that is best in the Negro, and it has made murders and midnight assassins of thousands of men who claim that the best blood of the South flow through their veins. There are thousands of white friends in the South who have neither helped nor hindered the Negro in his advance; there are thousands of others who have rendered positive help, and these two elements have contributed as much to the uplift of the Negro as those friends who have given money. Then, there is that element that has blocked the Negro at every turn; and still another element that has scorned and spruned him. This attitude and this condition has back of it a cause, and so we shall proceed to discuss the cause and the remedy. In the homes, the white boys and girls are taught not to respect even Negro women and not to extend to them the ordinary public courtesies extended to other women. As a result of this teaching, hatred and animosity and strife has flourished in the bosom of the white youth to blossom into placing disfranchisement and other discriminatory laws upon (Continued to page 4.)

Twelfth Election as Secretary of National Baptist Auxiliary—Great Ovation in Texas to the Queen of the Rostrum—Editor Lane Calls Her the Pet of the Baptists—Has Raised More Money Than Any Board. THE EMANCIPATION NEGRO ADVANCE DUE TO EAGERNESS TO IMPROVE. President Taft Predicts a Greater Progress in the Next Half Century. That the cagerness with which the Negro race had seized the opportunities given it was responsible for the great steps which that race had made toward bettering its conditions since the enancipation proclamation, was the assertion of President Taft in an address before Negro delegates from every part of this country, at a meeting held at Metropolitan A. M. E Church last Monday evening. The meeting was a part of the national jubilee which is being held here in celebration of the fifth anniversary of the issuance of the proclamation by President Lincoln. The President declared that he felt certain that "the Negro would make even more progress during the next fifty years than he has during the fifty years which have just passed." A resolution requesting the President to issue a proclamation setting free all former slaves now confined in federal prisons, and pardoning them, and further urging that Congress pass a bill whereby each ex-slave should receive $50 a month for each and every month during which any slave has been emancipated, was adopted unanimously.

GRAND LODGE OF MOSES. National Supreme Council. The 35th annual session of the National Supreme Grand Lodge of the A. I. O. of Moose met in Moses' Hall, 516 Eighth Street, the beautiful edifice recently purchased by the order. The hall is a three-story brick building with a beautiful auditorium on the second floor, three spacious lodge rooms on third floor, with reception room, kitchen, and all modern conveniences. The effort is a praiseworthy one, and we hope for it all success. At 10 A. M. Tuesday, the Right Worthy National Supreme Grand Master, Joseph J. Minor, of Washington, D. C., called the house to order, and the beautiful opening, ceremonies were gone through as follows: "All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name," by the order. Welcome address. Bro.

Wednesday and Thursday was devoted to business transaction, and representatives from Virginia, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Connecticut and the several lodges in the District made the encampment very interesting, and delegates to the number of 231 were present. Various reports were presented and acted upon, and they show M. J. H. Joseph T Minor that the financial condition . . . the order is better than ever before, and numerically it is stronger by an increase of over 2,000. The Grand Master, Bro. Joseph J. Minor, is a leader who uses tact and good judgment, yet is firm and resourceful, and it was entirely through his efforts that the orders purchased the beautiful hall they now occupy. Friday, the last day of the session, was devoted to the election of officers. The newly elected officers who were installed were: G. M., J. J. Minor (third term). Washington, D. C. G.

His speech was very effective, and at its conclusion he asked if there was any one opposed to the re-election of Taft and Sherman. Not a vote in the vast crowd was recorded against the Republican ticket. Prof. Hart spoke for two hours and a half. Rev. W. B. Johnson. Rev. W. Bishop Johnson, who delivered such a masterly sermon last Sunday morning at the Second Baptist Church, was demanded by his congregation that it be printed in The Bee next week. Look out for it.

The Way Back To It "Why do you call your wife Peggy?" "It's a long story." "It must be. Peggy is supposed to be short for Margaret, though I could never see why. But your wife's name is Felicia. How do you get it?" "Well, you see, it's like this. Peggy is short for a nickname I invented for her. I got in the habit of calling her Pegasa." "But why?" "Pegasus is the feminine of Pegasus." "Yes, but"— "And Pegasus was an immortal steed." "I know that. But what has your wife 'got to do with it?" "Well, an immortal steed is in plain terms an undying horse. And an undying horse is an everlasting nag. Now do you see?" He saw and sympathized appropriately.-Cleveland Plain Dealer. Dressed For the Occasion. "Before I take this dress off," said the woman to the home dressmaker, "I want to go into the kitchen and read the riot act to Maria." "Oh, not with this dress on!" the dressmaker protested. "She is cooking, and the grease might pop"— "Can't help it," the woman interrupted. "Maria needs a lecture. She has been needing it for some time, but I didn't dare deliver it because I hadn't good enough clothes to make it effective. Maria is black and judges people by the clothes they wear. If I had scolded in my shirt waist and skirt or even in my old blue afternoon dress Maria would have scorned me, but with all this finery on I can speak my piece, and Maria will be properly impressed, and maybe she will reform."—New York Times. a v lat ly ls : ent ft i all fmj the Listen!

The speed with which sound waves are transmitted through the atmosphere depends on several conditions. When the temperature is at 32 degrees F., sounds move with a speed of 1,000 feet per second, the velocity increasing with the temperature at the rate of about one foot of speed per second for each degree above the freezing point. Then, again, in damp air sound moves with a greater velocity than it does in dry air, no odds if the dry air be warm and the damp cold. In water sound moves more than four times as fast as it does in air, or, say, at about the rate of 4,700 feet per second.

Big Business a Day Dream The expansion of British commerce, writes T. Sharper Knowlson in the Century, discussing "The Uses of Imagination in Business," was due to the day dreaming of practical men, who bound themselves together in trading guilds for the purpose of capturing the best business the world could offer. The expansion of American commerce is the same substance in a more modern setting. Those men who engineered its marvelous growth "saw the unseen" by ald of their imagination. Away in the west they saw the desert places, mere waste wilderness of the unproductive, and they "imagined" irrigation. And how the earth has become glad with the abundance of luscious fruits, and a prosperous people inhabit the once barren region. Some of them "imagined" railroads, others steel, and others, again, "saw" manufactures where none of these things had any existence. The romance of things is as real as the romance of human hearts. When Andrew Lang Forgot. Andrew Lang was absentminded at times. Once he paid a visit to a Scotch professor at a university where he lectured. He was to catch a return train early in the morning, and breakfast was ordered for 0 o'clock, but at 8:30 a horrified maid announced to the family that some one had, stolen Mr. Lang's clothes and he couldn't get up. The host went to Mr. Lang's room and found him sitting up in bed in his monocle and pajamas. There was no sign of any other garment in the room. The host went downstairs to summon the police, but before he could get a connection by the state owned telephone the maid came running down to say that Mr. Lang's rigging had been found. He had folded up his clothes the night before and put them under his pillow because the pillow was too low and then forgotten all about it.—New York Sun. Walking to Health. When there is no organic weakness which is aggravated by the exertion it is the easiest and pleasantest thing, to walk right into health. Of course there is no virtue in a dawdling walk. The slow and languid dragging of one foot after the other, which some people call walking, would tire an athlete. It utterly exhausts a weak person, and that is the reason why many delicate people think they cannot walk. To derive any benefit from the exercise it is necessary to walk with a light, elastic step, which swings the weight of the body so easily from one leg to the other that its weight is not felt and which produces a healthy glow, showing that the sluggish blood is stirred to action in the most remote veins. This sort of walking exhilarates the whole body, gives tone to the nerves and produces just that sort of healthful fatigue which encourages sound, restful sleep.

By sorrow men learn that they need to be fed with higher food, that they must rest on stronger supports, that they must have other friends and other friendships, that they must live another life, that there must be something that neither time nor chance nor accident can undermine and sweep away. When men have learned the interior lesson of sorrow they look upon trouble not as being less troubles than it was, but as, from the higher point to which they have risen, unreal and dreamy.—Henry Ward Beecher.

Drunken Monkeys According to a letter from the Kongo region on the west-coast of Africa, the monkeys there are inordinately fond of a kind of beer made by the natives, who use the beverage to capture their poor relations. Having placed quantities of the beer where the monkeys can get at it, the natives wait until their victims are in various degrees of inebriation, and when they then mingle with them the poor creatures are too much fuddled to recognize the difference between negro and ape. When a negro takes the hand of one of them to lead him off, some other fond creature clings to the hand of the latter one and another one to his hand.

When the visitor approached the diplomatic gallery of the senate chamber the doorkeeper informed him, says a writer in the Philadelphia Ledger, that the gallery was reserved for foreign representatives. "It is, hey?" said the visitor. "Well, I want to tell you right now, that this is a free country, and this is the senate of the United States, and I demand admission in the name of American citizenship." "Oh!" said the doorkeeper. "Why didn't you say at first that you were an American citizen? Just step around to the second door from here. That gallery is reserved for American citizens." With chest puffed up the stranger betook himself to the door indicated and was at once admitted to the public gallery. A King's Rebuke: The queen of Wurttemberg was one day walking in the streets of Stuttgart attended by a maid of honor, when she met a body of students who refused to make room for the ladies, and thus compelled them to walk in the gutter. The queen reported the matter to the king, and the next day the captain of the corps Suevla was summoned to the palace. A servant led him into a room where there were no chairs, and there the unfortunate student had to wait a full hour. At last the king appeared, and finally the young man was dismissed by him thus: "I cannot demand that every student should know my wife, but I do demand that the corps Suevla give place in the streets to ladies." The Crawfish's Tail The tall of a crawfish serves that animal as an oar. By a peculiar jerk of the tail the animal can retire from a dangerous object with almost incredible swiftness. The tail is much more effective in moving the animal backward than forward, a singular instance of adaptation to its situation, for by means of its tail it can withdraw into its hole with such swiftness as in an instant to place it out of danger. On Himself. "Perhaps you are not aware," she said, "that I had over a dozen proposals of marriage before I accepted yours." He flushed. "And perhaps, madam," he retorted haughtily, "you are not aware that I proposed to nearly twenty women before I became acquainted with yourself." Two of a Kind.

"A drunken Cossack in Manchuria shot a Chinaman fatally. It was necessary to identify the fellow, and half a dozen Cossacks were brought to the Chinaman's deathbed for that purpose. He, however, refused to point out his murderer, saying: "Why should he be killed, since I must die in any case?" "But why punish him, since he is already forgiven?" "To this they made answer that the punishment would not be a revenge, but a deterrent. It would keep the Cossack from repeating such a heinous crime. "But the Chinaman only shook his head. "He won't repeat it anyway,' he said, 'when he knows that I forgive him.'"—Minneapolis Journal. How Rain Bores Holes. When rain falls it does not actually soak into the earth, but bores its way in, forming tiny tubes. These tubes are so small that it would be impossible to insert a hair in one of them without bursting its wall. Sometimes the tubes are bored down to a depth of four or five feet. When the surface dries, the water evaporates from the tubes, just as it would from a pipe. If the tube is twisted it takes longer for the water to evaporate. If one takes a rake and stirs the ground after each rain he breaks the tops of the tubes, and the water will stand in them for months. In this way the farmers of the west, on the semiarid lands, store the rainfall one year and raise a crop of wheat every other year, there being sufficient water in two years, but not enough in one, to raise a crop—Harper's. Manners if Not Mathematics. The little boy, aged five, was sitting in the midst of the large family circle at the luncheon table. Opposite him was his young lady cousin, who mingled with her affection for him an earnest desire to set his infant feet in the paths of knowledge. Just now in her intense way she was trying to teach him how to divide an orange into quarters. Again and again she led up to the point that she wished him to think out and as often he failed to follow. As she leaned forward, wholly absorbed in her desire to make the idea clear to him, she asked once more, "But how would you get a quarter of an orange?" The boy, blissfully unconscious, replied with a beaming look, "I would say please." - Youth's Companion. Puzzles For Patients. Although the patient had waited half an hour for her interview, the time had not dragged. "I worked on one of those puzzles," she said. "By the way, doctor, you are not a children's specialist; then why do you keep so many puzzles in your reception room? "You answered your own question before you asked it," the doctor said. "I keep them to amuse the grownups. Most people who feel bad enough to visit a doctor can entertain themselves better with a puzzle than a book or magazine. Every puzzle that has achieved popularity in the last twenty-five years has a place in that cabinet. Dentists also rely on puzzles to waiting patients in good humor, for even toothache will share attention with a good puzzle."-New York Times, Trade Emblems on Tombstones. In Scotland it was for a long time usual to place on a man's tombstone the symbols of his trade. Especially was this the case at Dunblane, where, in the burial ground of the abbey, it has been found that of those tombstones which are from 100 to 200 years old about one-fourth are thus marked, the symbols being in low relief. A sugar cane may be seen as showing the grave of a grocer: an ax and saw, with hammer and nails, occur on the grave of a carpenter: an awl and a hammer on that of a shoemaker. There are many other graves similarly marked.—London Answers. Returned With Interest The author and Sallie Quickstep were playing tennis, and the author, who is something of a tease, had been rall-ing her about her game. " "say, Miss Sallie," he cried at.last, "do you feel warm? You're getting awfully red." "Am I red?" returned she calmly as she sent the ball flying over the net.

There is a Turkish legend to the effect that if a man prays seven consecutive mornings alone in the mosque for good luck it will come. Near St. Sophia mosque, Constantinople, a poor man lived who tried to carry out the injunction, but when he kneeled, to his chagrin, he always saw another man who had arrived first. The fourth morning he could restrain himself no longer and cried out: "What is the secret of your getting to the mosque first? I get up early and lose no time." The other man asked, "How many wives have you?" When he answered "One" the fortunate man said: "You can never get to the mosque earlier than I, for I have four wives. When I wake up one brings me my clothes, another gets my shoes, a third prepares my bath, and the fourth cooks breakfast. The result is I lose no time. Now, my friend, go at once and marry three other wives, and you will know the secret of my arriving first at the mosque." The poor Turk followed the advice, and very soon he knew why the man with four wives got to the mosque first—he stayed there in preference to staying at home. The Ashes of the Dead. James Russell Lowell was a great favorite in the literary circles of London. On one occasion at a large banquet the peculiarities of American speech were discussed with English bluntness. Lord S. called to Mr. Lowell loudly, so as to silence all other speakers: "There is one new expression invented by your countrymen so foolish and vulgar as to be unpardonable. They talk of the 'ashes of the dead.' We don't burn corpses. No Englishman would use a phrase so absurd." "And yet," said Mr. Lowell gently, "your poet Gray says, speaking of the dead: "E'en in our ashes live their wonted fires. "And in the burial services of the Church of England it is said, 'Dust to dust and ashes to ashes.' We sin in good company." A cordial burst of applause greeted this prompt rejoinder. London English The English language is merely a small collection of slang words, business terms and oaths. It has become, indeed, very little less distinguished than the language of the Kaffir, who expresses himself by clicking his tongue against the roof of his mouth. "Haryar?" to take one instance, now stands in the dictionary of London and country house English for "How do you do?" "Goomore," to take another, may be translated as meaning "Good morning." Today when a person wishes to convey the fact that his condition of health leaves something to be desired, he says that he is "abs-lately rotten." If, on the contrary, he feels particularly well and happy, he declares that he is "fullerbeans."—"Impertinent Reflections," by Cósmo Hamilton. The Modocs The Modoc Indians—there were only a few hundred of them—were removed from their old habitat in the Oregon country by the government. Not liking the change, they returned to their old home, and under their able leader, "Captain Jack," defeated the troops sent to expel them in 1873. During the negotiations for a settlement they decoyed the United States commissioners into an ambush (April 11) and massacred General Canby and some forty others. Fighting followed, and the Indians retreated to an almost impregnable position. They were finally surrounded and after a brave resistance surrendered. "Captain Jack" was captured, tried in June, 1873, and executed Oct. 3.—Exchange. Cure Fec Insomnia A widely known New York clubman whose family is known to take earnest exception to his late hours recently encountered his physician on the street. "How are you feeling these days?" asked the medico. "Very well, indeed, thank you," replied the clubman, "but I'm a bit worried about my wife, doctor. She suffers dreadfully from insomnia. I have been on the point for some time of consulting you about her case. What would you suggest?" "You might try getting home earlier," observed the physician. Different Times. Barasate once found his memory deserting him at a recital, but he discovered the reason of the mishap in time to a prevent a failure. A lady was fanning herself in the front row of the stalls. The violinist stopped playing. "Madam," he said, "how can I play in two-four time when you are beating six-eight?" The lady shut up her fan, and the recital was concluded successfully. "And you are going to have the hero and heroine of your story 'live happily forever after?'" "No, just the opposite." "Just the opposite? How so?" "I'm going to have them marry one another."—Houston Post. Briefly Speaking. Lady (to returned missionary)—And how was the king of the savages clothed?

The Worst Nothing can bring you peace but the triumph of principle.-Emerson The pimento, or allspice, tree is cultivated in the West Indies and Jamaica. This beautiful tree usually grows to a height of about thirty feet. It has a straight trunk, much branched above and covered with a very smooth, brown bark. The leaves vary in size and shape, but are always of a dark, shining green color. During the months of July and August the tree is in full bloom, the blossoms consisting of very fragrant small white flowers. In favorable seasons the pimento crop is enormous, a single tree often yielding a hundred or more pounds of the dried spice. The berries are picked while green, because if left on the tree until ripe they lose their pungent taste and are valueless. The green berries are exposed to the sun for a week or ten days, when they lose their green color and turn a reddish brown. When perfectly dry they are put in bags and casks for exportation. The odor and the taste of the pimento berries are thought to resemble a combination of those of clinnamon, nutmeg and cloves; hence the familiar name "allspice." A Queer Fact About Vision. In the eye itself certain things may go on which give us wrong sensations, which, although not truly illusions, are very much like them. Thus when we suddenly strike our heads or faces against something in the dark we see "stars," or bright sparks, which we know are not real lights, though they are quite as bright and sparkling as if they were. When we close one eye and look straight ahead at some word or letter in the middle of this page, for example, we seem to see not only the thing we are looking at, but everything else immediately about it and for a long way on each side. But the truth is there is a large round spot somewhere near the point at which we are looking in which we see nothing. Curiously enough, the existence of this blind spot was not discovered by accident, and nobody ever suspected it until Mariotte reasoned from the construction of the eyeball that it must exist and proceeded to find it. He Would Push Too. A gentleman with a well fed appearance who motored over from the nearest town to deliver his lecture, "The Art of Getting On," in the village schoolroom, concluded with a fine burst. "The successful man is the man who strives persistently. His motto is 'Push, and keep pushing,' for by that and that alone he reaches his goal." Before the audience made much headway with their clapping a small man at the back got in a laugh that might have come from a megaphone. The lecturer held up his hand for silence. "You, too, my friend, will have to push," he commenced. "So will you. I reckon." Interrupted the small man. "There is half a dozen kids plinking the gasoline out of your motorcar to light a bonfire." —New York Telegraph. An Awed Gunner A Maine hunter who is a crack shot tells, a curious story about himself. While hunting one day he came upon a fine large deer not more than two rods away. He attempted to raise his rifle to his shoulder, but his arm became suddenly paralyzed. All he could do was to stand there and watch the deer disappear in the distance. Then his arm resumed its normal condition, and he started on the trail once more. After awhile he came upon the deer a second time, and again the hunter tried to raise his rifle, and again his arm refused to serve him. Then he gave it up and went home. Impressed with a sense of awed and a conviction that he had better leave that particular deer alone. The Reqret of His Life. Sir William Grove, the eminent scientist and jurist, never forgave himself for not discovering the spectroscope. "I had often observed," he said, "that there were different lines exhibited in the spectra of different metals ignited in the voltaic arc, and if I had had any reasonable amount of wit I ought to have seen the converse—viz. that by ignition different bodies show in their spectral lines the materials of which they are composed."

Ninety-two persons were killed by .cars Jast year in the anthracife coal mimes of Pennsylvania, many of them boys less than twenty years of age. James E. Roderick, chief of the de- partment of mines, in commenting on these statistics in the anthracite sec- tion of bis annual report for "1911, Baye: | “This creat loss of life is utterly In- | excusable. The roads should be kept in safe condition, free of refuse and drained, and should be of sufficient width to enable persons to pass by the cars. There should also be safety holes at proper intervals. If these precautions were taken and proper discipline Insisted upon there is no Teason why the accidents from cars should not be reduced one-half.” These ninety-two deaths from acci- dent are only a fraction of 615 fatali- es inside the anthracite mincs last year. How many of the deaths of boys were due to mine car accidents is not shown by Roderick’s tables, but the total deaths of boys from sixteen to twenty years of age inside the mines was sixty. The total deaths outside the mines numbered eighty-four, of which twenty-nine were boys from fourteen to twenty year’ of age. Each 1,000,000 tons of coal produced cost 7.69 lives. In 1899 1,000,000 tons cost 7.62 lives. In 1899 the death rate was 3.28 per 1000 employes and in 1911 it was 3.48. Falls of coal, slate and roof. con- tinue to be the chief cause of acci- dents, about one-half the deaths and injuries resulting from this. Mine car accidents are the second in rank, about one-sixth of the accidents being charged to that source. During the forty-two years from 1870 the average percentage of deaths from falls has been 49.39, and from mine cars 15.25. Roderick says rigid restrictions and eternal vigilance on the part of all concerned will make conditions better. Statistics regarding employment and production for 1911 show the follow- ing: Miners, 45,324; laborers, 32,905; average days worked, 234; average daily, production, 346,906; increase in employes, 22.10 per cent; increased average daily production, 12.92. In 191] the number of employes: was increased 56.10 over 1891, and the average daily production was increas- ed 66.51. . ‘The fatal accidents of 1911 widowed 425 wives and robbed 1034 children of their fathers. . With the average production per day last year of 231,578 tons for the total of 234 days worked, not includ- ing the production from washeries} Roderick figures that if the colileries worked a total of 280 working days in the year they would produce a total of 92,841.40 tons. | The 81,176,650 tons produced were the long ton of 2240 pounds; in net tons of 2000 pounds they amount to 90,917,176. This production is by far the heaviest in history, exceeding by about 4,000,000 net tons the record output of 1307. The bituminous tonnage, as discuss. ed in the other section of Roderick’s Teport, made public sqme time ago, ‘was more than 149,000,000 net tons.

The golden jubilee anniversary is over and The Bee is content to know that all local and other statesmen are happy. The Bee has no objections to people doing what they please, and when a few failures get together and attempt to dictate and ignore people who can do good it is about time to put them where they belong. The personnel of many of the committees named by the man who delegated himself chairman, is not known outside or within the black circles in which they live. Persons who were able to make the affair a success would not be tied up with a lot of failures. The Bee has never known an affair to succeed in this community without a proper head. In looking over the program of the so-called Golden Jubilee, we see a number of old faces that would do justice to, a witness to, if Calvin had What has been accomplished by this jubilee? It is claimed that not enough money was collected to pay expenses. What has become of all the money that the white merchants contributed and what was taken up in the churches? Of course, we expect to have a report of the receipts and expenditures. The Bee has always been opposed to street parades unless the parade will show what the Negroes have accomplished. Those 16th day of April parades in this city were abolished because Tom, Dick and Harry would begin to collect money in December and continue until and after the celebration. It was The Bee that appealed to the people not to encourage these parades. They have been killed, and many of these annual collectors have died out. There are one or two still in existence. What should have been done, was to have appointed a committee, national in its character, and give an exhibition of what the Negroes have done since issuance of the proclamation by President Lincoln. The jubilee is over and what has been accomplished? A number of superannuated statesmen and retired educators have been given an opportunity to tell us what we all know and is printed in books. Permission has been given a number of gray-haired men and women to let off surplus gas and make an exhibition of gray whiskers. What do we care for all that not? How much better it would have been to have exhibited to the world our inventions, accumulations, progress in books, literature, art, sciences and the like. Then the white people, to whom many Negroes cater, could see what the Negroes have accomplished since their enamulation. As it is, the congress showed as follows: 1st. A majority of the congress was local superannuated statesmen. 2d. Several persons were selected to speak. 3d. Nothing was shown to convince the world that the Negro has accomplished anything. 4th. There was no exhibition of inventions. 5th. Money was collected for expenses, but it is claimed there is not enough to pay expenses. 7th. Now tell The Bee what was shown the people what the Negro has accomplished in 50 years. *Go to Durham, N. C., you will see what the Negro has accomplished. *Go to Tuskegee and see what he is doing there and what he has accomplished. Our ancient friend Maxfield has a greater curiosity in his library than the Golden Jubilee exhibited during its entire sessions. If the colored people desire to celebrate their freedom they should have evidence of their progress. Dr. Booker T. Washington was right when he asked Congress for two hundred and fifty thousand dollars to enable the colored people to celebrate this event. But now, Prof. R. R. Wright, of Georgia, like all other narrow and jealous Negroes, started an opposition movement, and the result was a democratic Congress refused to give the Negroes money. And the final result is, this side show which came to a close this week. NEW COLORED DIRECTORY. That the efforts on the part of the publisher of "Sherman's Directory and Ready Reference of the Colored Population of the District of Columbia" were actuated by a higher ambition than merely the monetary consideration, is certainly exemplified by the most careful manner and way in which the above-mentioned publication is presented to us, as we have conceived it. The various features, so well presented under their respective headings, and there are several distinctive features in particular, which, as are shown, are bound to bring favorable universal criticism. The palpable demand and longing of a great majority of our people for a publication of this kind we do not question; however, we regret the apparent reluctance which prevented any of us from endeavoring to fill the long-felt want. As prosperity and business are the great commanding factors of the present time, it is a pleasure for us to see noted among the professional and business men in the District of Columbia so many of our own race. This feature necessarily should bring about favorable comment by all our people, as it already has been evidenced by the demonstration of the confidence of those having business interests among us; it shows a sentinent favorable, and should give an impetus in the direction of true progress, and it is to be hoped that it will further stimulate the apparent activity and add to the making up of minds to go ahead, producing, developing, and increasing activities, giving only passing heed to our encounters of the past. We are glad to see that the mistake of being over-confident has not had a widespread feeling, and that many of our leading business men have taken advantage of the opportunity which has presented itself to them to properly set forth their various business enterprises through a proper and legitimate advertising medium. Through the publication of this book no apprehension of harm can be justified. That patience and tolerance may be rewarded, we sincerely trust that our people, appreciative, will bend every effort toward the success and future of this Directory, that it may be, as is proposed, an annual publication, as we feel that, while it came about perhaps through enthusiasm, it was backed by earnest and eager endeavors, such as are bound to be crowned only by success. COMMISSIONER DAVENPORT There is one man under the present administration that belongs to the old school Republicans. This man believes in fair play, no matter what the color of your skin may be. Commissioner Davenport is liked by all who know him. It is because he wants to do right and does what is right as he sees it, regardless of consequences. The Bee has always been interested in Col. Charles R. Douglass, the son of the late Frederick Douglass, who was removed from a sixteen hundred dollar position and a Democrat put in his place. The Bee hopes to see Mr. Douglass restored to his former position by its good friend Mr. Davenport, who is now Commissioner of Pensions. The colored people in this country would be glad to see Mr. Douglass restored, and it be done by Mr. Davenport, whom we all love and appreciate. TAFT GAINING There is no doubt as to the reelection of President Taft. The American people are satisfied with present conditions. The school board had a lively time the other afternoon. Perhaps it will end soon. Something dropped last Friday night. Jesse Lawson got away with his They say Dr. Newman made a most scholarly address at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church last Sunday evening. He handed them a bunch of sweet lavender. Take it all in all, the changes made in the schools, by the school board, are designed for the betterment of the schools. Now that Assistant Superintendent Bruce has taken the bit in his teeth, The Bee hopes that he will maintain discipline and exact proper conduct from each and all. Mr. Wm. H. Lewis, Assistant Attorney General, made a most masterly address at Zanesville, O.. last Monday, the occasion of the celebrating the Emancipation Proclamation. He touched a bit on politics, and in a most convincing, unanswerable manner showed up Roosevelt and his Progressive party as being opposed to race advancement. It was a clean-cut, powerful address. The Republican National Committee would do well to issue it in pamphlet form. It will be worth an hundred thousand alleged campaign books. The Vision of Hebrew Prophet: The Vision of the Hebrew Prophets was the subject of the able sermon delivered by Dr. S. L. Corrothers, pastor of Galbraith Church, Sunday morning, September 15th. Text, Gen. 28:20-21. "If God shall be with me, and keep me in the way, by which I walk, and shall give me bread to eat, and raiment to put on. And I shall return prosperously to my father's house: the Lord shall be my God." The sermon was a fine production and well delivered before an extra large and fine congregation, made up of people from every walk of life. The laborer, as well as the professional man, the mistress of the home, like the character builder at school, were equally divided in their praises of the sermon. After the sermon a very liberal collection was taken, amounting to $25 or more in a short time, which marks the appreciation of an intelligent congregation. So beautifully was the life of Jacob portrayed that even the children were able to talk about it around the family fireside, because of its simplicity. It was the same old story of Jacob the suppliant, but it seemed new, because of the guidance of the Holy Spirit which enabled the speaker to hold his audience throughout the sermon. After the close of the service the good Doctor was thronged with handshakes and congratulations coming from the lowly as well as the highest in the business world, the skilled and un-killed laborer, the lawyer as well as the doctor, the school teacher, and in fact there were men and women from nearly all classes of work present. Many visitors were anglers to shake hands with the pastor but went home disappointed in not being able to do so, because of the large congregation. As was said of the Doctor over two years ago after an address in Philadelphia, Varich Temple, which he delivered. "There is something in this man that the general church must and will recognize some day. It is his hidden forces flashed periodically upon the canvas that makes him a power in the counsel of his church." The same is true of him in the pulpit. He can draw the congregation and so fasten their minds upon what he is saying that it is the consensus of opinion that the Doctor is consecrated for the work. The choir, under the leadership of Mr. K. N. Broadax, with Mrs. McIntosh presiding at the organ, dispensed with some very nice music at this service. The choir has been on vacation, and returned Sunday. The Sunday school, under the superintendency of Miss S. J. Jennifer, made an excellent report at the District Conference held at Burruille, D.C., which showed that the Galbraith Sunday school led them all, as well as the church. The Christian Endeavor bids fair to rank as one of the leading young people's meetings in the city. Mr. F. W. Springg, as the president, is effusing new life into the society by having various leaders from the District Union, and also prominent church workers to lead. This society meets at 6:30 P. M. every Sunday. The singing is full of enthusiasm; to go once means to come again. Sunday morning, September 22, at 11 A. M., the pastor will deliver the third special sermon of his series of sermons, which he will deal with the freedom and progress of the Negro Bull Moose. The definition of the "Bull Moose" Republican is an organization of a set of defeated and disgruntled voters, politicians and office seekers. They could not control the Republican party nor can they control the Democratic party. A bull moose is a dis-satisfied animal and an easy game for hunters. I think it is about time for you to help us out instead of walking in here as if you were going to a party. The Jubilee. Jesse Lawson, president; Edward H. Lawson, executive secretary; Dr. James F. Lawson, brother of Profi. Jesse Lawson, represented New Jersey; Edward H. Lawson, publicity committee; Mrs. R. C Lawson, entertainment committee; Jesse Lawson, ex-officio, executive committee; Edward H. Lawson, ways and means committee; Mrs. Rosetta E. Lawson, ways and means committee. Ladies who were asked to take part were: Mrs. Rosetta E. Lawson, Mrs. Edward H. Lawson. This ends the Lawson family in the Golden Jubilee. PublicMen And Things PublicMen And Things (By the Sage of the Potomae.) * . * Well, the school changes got away on schedule time. My friend from Warrenton worked awfully hard throwing up a dyke to keep the changes from overflowing the bank, but he just couldn't stop them. Jackson got about the best out of the changes. He caused Henry Murray to move over, and let him move into the spot Henry was warming for himself. Old White Top got serached a little too, but not much. Little Bailey, not Bill Bailey, had to load his belongings on one of Knox's vans and move on down to Phelps School, a mile or two from where he had been cavorting. Bassett, he of the turkey gobble strut, and important air, got chased back to M Street, where he had better be awfully good, or—well, he knows the next move on the checkered board. Amplias Glenn, the towing intellect from somewhere out in the wilds of Ohio, takes Mattingly's place on the examination board, and Mat, old fox, becomes a reluctant memory. The "heavings" be praised. It's an ill wind that blows nobody good, you know. Some of us who thought we might be moved down a peg, got a new lease on life, and you can just bet the Canibal Islands that every body will be attending strictly to his knitting this year—just afraid to sneeze out loud. My friend, the Reverend Base Ball Garner, joined with Dan Murray. Prof. W. B. Evans, M.L.L.D., Q.R. ST., and that little two-by-two twice fellow what bears the name of Douglas, along with Melendez King, who perhaps got a retainer fee, and made a center rush on the board, but it was nixeuse. Now this Douglas is not Halie Douglas. Halie is a square, straight up and down fellow—nicest boy on the town plat—just like his dad. You never catch Halie in bad company. I don't know where this F. J., I believe "thems his" initials, ever got the nerve to try to batter down the recommendations of his superiors. If he was in the army, he would be in the guard house right this minute. Horner made a game fight, and Mrs. Harris seconded his motion, but you know you can't beat a-royal flush with one measly little pair. I guess the war is over now. All's quiet on the Potomac. Cavorting back to the schools, there is a persistent rumor in off-colored circles, that Sherlocko is going to keep his lynxed eye on such who it has been rumored have been hitting them up too often, and swallowing them down too frequently. To be plain, we hear it all around, in and out, everywhere we go, that they are going to organize a total abstinence society, make every maletouted teacher join, sign the pledge never again to look upon the wine when it is red, and if he does, the gulotin will come next. I will take you into my confidence, and say to you that the day before school opened, after I heard this startling bit of information, I made myself a few, drank them in the seclusion of my domicile, and then chalked up a vow on my honeybunch's dresser that I would not touch even a poney beer again. This little old twelve hundred job I hold will keep me from starving. If I lose it, starve I will. They needn't employ any secret service men to watch me. Davidson, Oyster and Bruce have got my word for it—never again for yours truly. They tell me that this man Davidson hates red liquor like the devil hates holy water; that Oyster would not take a drink to save your life, outside of the Metropolitan Club, and you know when two high monktonomics like these put the ban on serpent water, the fire goes out for yours truly. Davidson is from out yander in the west where they don't to much with sours, manhattans, gin zinzes, and martinias, and he can't get on to eastern custom that permit a school teacher, to hit a few he would term "exhilarating but not intoxicating." And I want to admonish all my male-attired friend that so long as Superintendent Davidson fails to fall into the eastern custom, you sure had better fall into the western custom, which is "agin" red liquor in any form for pedagogs. Take it from me. MISS BURROUGHS TRIUMPH (Continued from page one.) the statute books, to lynching and burning of over fifteen hundred Negroes in the past fifteen years. We appeal to the white women of the South simply to apply that blessed old Golden Rule in dealing with us as women. We appeal to you further, to beg your husbands and your sons, who are in authority in the courts, to give the Negro women who come before them, the protection of the law. We do not ask them to shield us from paying the penalty of any crime committed by us, but that the color of our skin shall not influence any decision. Further, the treatment we receive when traveling is a disgrace to the people who have devised it. A word from you will improve conditions on the trains. No white woman with an ounce of respect for herself, would be willing to submit to the treatment we receive in public carriers in the South. The railroad cars are not fit for thoroughbred hogs, to ride in. They are a disgrace to the States in which they are operated. This method of trying to crucify the Negro's self-respect is positively ineffective. We beg you to help stop lynching. Our women are being lynched and not a word of protest is heard from the Christian white women of this country. We simply seek common respect, common protection, decent treatment, void of cheap sentiment and sympathy. The things for which we appeal will cost you nothing material, but will bring to both races much morally. The constant teaching of hatred will embitter the soul of the greatest saint. It is not necessary to teach your sons to hate us to prevent social mixing. The idea of social mixing is as offensive to decent Negroes as it is to decent white people. But your present attitude and method is not solving the social problem. All of the laws, all the teaching of hatred, does not keep a certain class of white men from crossing the line. The only thing that remains to be done to prevent race amalgamation that is certainly going on, is for the best white women of the South to unite with the best Negroes in molding such strong sentiment against the practice that it will be dangerous to cross the line. The very fact that you will not give Negroes decent accommodations, makes many a Negro who is fair enough to pass travel in the section provided for white passengers. It will be infinitely better for both races to be given the kind of accommodations for which they pay, and to be treated fairly and squarely in every walk of life. Amalgamations and social corruption will certainly grow in this fair Southland under the present conditions. The him as a man and not as a Negro. If there ever was a time for the demonstration of practical Christianity, that time is now Conditions in the new South call for a change of mind and a change of attitude on the race question. The South has a tremendous industrial problem to solve, and it has a big social problem on its hands. The Negro is involved in both. We trust that the Christian people of this section will devote a reasonable portion of their wealth to lifting and educating the Negro so that he may be able to contribute his part to the solution of these problems. The Negro is certainly the only logical and available man for the field of industry. The North is willing to contribute its part to our industrial training, but it is hardly fair for them to bear all of the burden since the majority of those who are to be trained will become in turn a great blessing to the Southland. The day must come when both sections shall unite heartily in the work of uplifting the race which constitutes America's greatest social problem. The present situation is certainly one of Christianity's greatest tests and if the problem is not solved it will be because the Golden Rule is made a farce by American Christians. Our chains of slavery are broken, but we are having the fetters of prejudice fastened more and more about our limbs. We appeal to the Southern Christian women not to allow this second slavery to destroy a great race and a great section of a great country. No person has made a greater impression on the people here than this distinguished young woman. She is doing a greater work for the spirit of true womanhood among her people than any woman of her race. Friday was laundry day in the Woman's Auxiliary Convention, preceded over by Mrs. S. Willie Layton. It was an effort to raise money for the trection of a laundry at the National Training School. The committee consisted of Mary Johnson, of Pennsylvania; Mrs. E. E. Whitfield, of Texas, and Alice Tucker, of Tennessee. The convention opened with ceremonial services by Mrs. P. A. Jones, of Alabama, using as the keynote "Why I Believe in the Bible." Mrs. Virginia W. Broughton, who represents the Associated Charities in Memphis, Tenn., told of the value of working for charities in the cities. Mrs. Rachel Brownbill, of Cape Town, South Africa, made a brief talk. Miss Nannie H. F. Burroughs was given an ovation when introduced to deliver her annual report. NEGROES PROTEST. A Libel on the Race. Whereas, In the exhibit in connection with the International Congress on Hygiene and Demography, now session in this city, there is among the exhibits of the American Federation for Sex Hygiene certain charts on one of which there is the following heading "The Negro, Prostitution and Venereal Disease," and which reads in part as follows "There are about 10,000,000 Negroes in the United States; 87,000 of these are in Philadelphia "Hospital experience enters at some time into the life of nearly every city Negro. Hospital records show that practically all city male Negroes indulge in promiscuous illicit sex intercourse and carry with them very real disease. "It is the rare exception in hospital experience for a male Negro to fail to admit having been infected with both syphilis and gonorrhea. These occurrences are with him almost as a matter of course Almost never is treatment carried to the point of cure. "The result of the general infection of the city male Negro is the almost equally widespread syphilization of the female population. The vast majority of city Negro girls have been violated long before maturity, and few have escaped infection with both syphilis and gonococcus disease. "The gravest problem to be faced in dealing with the city Negro is not his or her industrial future or right to social equality with the white man and woman. It is the danger to the public of his or her contagiousness and infection(ness) from the standpoint of physical and moral disease" Resolved, by the Sociological Congress being held as a part of the Jubilee Celebration of the fifteenth anniversary of the issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation under the auspices of the National Emancipation Commemorative Society at Washington, D.C., that: We affirm that the statements quoted regarding physical and moral degeneracy, in so far as they relate to the Negro race generally, or to those residing in cities in this country, are notoriously and inexcusably false, both as to facts and inference. We denounce the public parading of the statements referred to as unwarranted and uncalled for by the occasion. We protest against their remaining on public exhibition or being circulated or published under the auspices or patronage of the congress. The chart is now taken down after the protest of the committee. We call attention to the paragraph last quoted above in which reference is made to "social equality," and to the further statement on the chart (not in quotation above) that, "illicit intercourse between the races is taking place to an alarming extent," and to the statement that "a scrutiny of the features and color of Negroes that walk the streets forces home the conviction that nearly all carry the blood of the white race." These statements, we think, disclose the animus behind the publication of the false statements on the chart, and furnish an additional reason why it should not be tolerated in its present position. Further, we challenge the person or persons responsible for the statements on this extremely damaging publication, or any other persons, to furnish facts and figures which will establish the truth of the statements which we have denounced. Resolved. That a committee be appointed by the president of this body to visit the proper authorities and lay before them this denunciation and protest; and that said committee use every effort to have the dangerous chart removed from public view and the statements wholly suppressed. Resolved, that a copy of this preamble and these resolutions be sent to each officer and member of the executive committee of the American Federation for Sex Hygiene, and such further publication be given them as the committee deem proper.

The item carried in the current District of Columbia appropriation bill for the building of a roadway from Minnesota Avenue by way of Deane Avenue and G Street to Division avenue probably will be the forerunner of other legislation which the Commissioners will try to obtain for building up that section of the city Request is made of the Commissioners by the Northeast County Citizens' Association that they do not stop with the Deane Avenue and G Street road, but that they open up a roadway which will accommodate vehicular traffic from Division Avenue along the line of C or Dix Street to the District, Line This request, along with other contemplated improvements that would benefit the far northeast section, will be considered by the Commissioners in connection with the preparation of their next estimates. It is stated that the Commissioners also may give consideration to the advisability of providing for a roadway into Linwood Heights.

Tribute of a Friend and Former Pupil. Editor: Those of us who knew Mr. Coleridge-Taylor best are just beginning to realize that it is really true that our eminent composer has passed to the great beyond. When the news came from 'London on September 2d, that Samuel Coleridge-Taylor had died the day before, we could not believe that this master of only 37 years was no more. But alas, it is too true! I believe that Mr. Coleridge-Taylor's life and work meant more to the young Negro musician and music student here in America than can be told in words. That his life was an inspiration to me is putting it mildly. My acquaintance with Mr. Coleridge-Taylor dates back to my student days at Qberlin (1890-1900) when I received from him a number of his violin compositions and a very kind letter, saying that Mr. Fröderick London, who was then in London, had spoken to him of me. It is useless for me to say how eagerly I practiced those compositions and how many, many times I read and re-read that letter. On the occasion of Mr. Coleridge-Taylor's first visit to America I had the honor of playing with him for the first time in America his "African Dances," and then was formed a friendship that lasted up till the time of his death. During my two years' study in London it was my great privilege to be his pupil in theory and to play in the famous String Players' 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. 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.

WASHINGTON, PRIN Club, of which he was then the conductor. As Landon Ronald, the famous English conductor, says in the London Daily Telegraph of September 3d, "Mr. Coleridge-Taylor was in every sense a gentleman and was ever ready to give a helping hand; and had a kindly word for everybody. He was one of the most mode-t men it has been my lot to meet." And so it was I knew him. In his home he, was always the devoted husband and father. How well I remember many delightful walks we had about both London and Croydon, where he lived. Only a few weeks ago I received a long letter from him telling of his new works and of what he accomplished during the past season and how he was looking forward to his early autumn work. As both friend and teacher I found him a man of great personality and one who out of the goodness of his heart was ever ready with encouraging words and helpful suggestions. He had a keen sense of humor and always enjoyed a good story. Those who knew him best will never forget his cheery smile and affable manner. It was indeed a blessing to know him and count him as a friend. Coleridge-Taylor will live as long as there is a boy or girl with Negro blood in his or her veins who has the "spirit of song" in his or her heart, and his life and achievements will be a beacon light to all who have the ambition to go on and accomplish great things in the art in which he was such a glorious star.

BACKER OF RACE BILL A SUICIDE George C. Morrison KHIs Himself in Baltimore. Was Involved In Chaarges That Legislation Has Been Changed After Governor Signed Bill. George C. Morrison, a leader in Democratic political circles and Maryland campaign manager for Governor Woodrow Wilson, president of the Title Guarantee and Trust company and one of the leading financial figures of Baltimore, Md., was found dead in a private room of the Baltimore Athletic club, a suicide. The police say that when his body was discovered a gas tube connected with a flowing jet was in his mouth. He was about forty years old and was married. The suicide of Mr. Morrison comes within a few days of accusations made by Governor Goldsborough that Mr. Morrison and other leaders of the business and social life of Harford county, where he had a handsome home, had made misrepresentations concerning the Harford county racing bill, by which has paved the way for the recently completed Havre de Grace race track. In a public statement Governor Goldsborough had said that had he not been deceived by the statements of Mr. Morrison and other men he would not have signed the bill which allows racing in Harford county. Mr. Morrison was prominently interested in horse racing. He left a note explaining his act, which the coroner tok possession of, and while refusing to make all of it public at this time, he said the dead man referred to the newspaper publicity given to his interest in the race track at Havre de Grace, as one of the reasons for his action. The portion of the note given out said: "I am in trouble only to my God. He knows whether it is just for the self-sacrificing work of years to be set at naught by the onslaughts of a yellow newspaper, against which there is no defense." Following up the charges by Governor Goldsborough, the grand jury of Harford county has begun an investigation of the Havre de Grace track, and it was intended to summon Mr. Morrison and several others whose names had been mentioned in connection with the matter. Mr. Morrison went to his room in the athletic club house, telling club attendants that he intended to do some work there. That was the last time he was seen alive. Oust T. R. Men From G. O. P. Ranks. The Republican national committee, in session in New York, accepted the resignations of its members from Minnesota, Oklahoma and Ohio and declared vacant the seats held by members from New Jersey, West Virginia and North Carolina, who are Roosevelt supporters. Successors were named to retiring members from Oklahoma, Ohio, New Jersey and North Carolina. The committee refused to recognize a telegram from Russ Avery, of California, announcing his resignation and voted to expel him for "disloyalty to the Republican party." Mr. Hilles, as chairman, was empowered to appoint a sub-committee of three to recommend a successor to Mr. Avery. This action was taken. It was explained, because a majority of the state committeemen of California are supporters of Colonel Roosevelt and the choice of a Republican national committeeman could not be left to them. The sub-committee, Mr. Hilles announced, would confer with Republican leaders in California concerning both Mr. Avery's successor and the situation in that state. The sub-committee will report back to Mr. Hilles its findings. In the cases of William Edwards, of West Virginia, whose seat was declared vacant, and I. A. Casewell, of Minnesota, who resigned, the committee voted to ask the state committees of West Virginia and Minnesota, respectively, to recommend their successors. Mr. Edward's seat was declared vacant because of his "disloyalty to the Republican party." Franklin Murphy, former committeeman from New Jersey, was elected to fill the vacancy from that state created by declaring Borden Whiting no longer a member of the committee. E. C. Duncan was elected to succeed Richmond Pearson, of North Carolina. Sherman Granger was elected to succeed Walter F. Brown, the retiring member from Ohio, and J. A. Harris was elected successor to C. C. Priestley, of Oklahoma. Leaps From Window: Shot. William McAneny, a prisoner, after having his finger prints taken, at police headquarters in New York, leaped from a window of that place. In the thirty-foot plunge he knocked down a small boy as he landed and broke the boy's leg. Three policemen shot at McAneny as he fled, bringing him down with bullets in the body. The prisoner was taken to the Gouverneur hospital, with three bullets in his body and is not expected to live. It was the most daring attempt to es- ape, with one exception, ever made from the new headquarters building. McAneny was arrested in Harlem and taken to police headquarters. He was taken to the Bertillon room and his finger prints were recorded. He made no objection. As he passed a window he sprang to the sill and flung himself out to the street. He landed in Grand street. Detective Edward Shevely leaped after him from the window, followed by Gus and Joseph Riley. They landed unhurt, and as they rose to their feet begain to shoot at the fugitive. One of the bullets hit another detective on his way to enter the building, but did not seriously hurt him. Three bullets hit the fleeing prisoner and he went down. The detectives pounced on him and brought him back to the headquarters building barely conscious. Babies Mixed In Hospitals. That scores of Pittsburgh, Pa., parents are unwittingly nursing the children of other men and women is the intimation of members of the Associated Women's clubs, who have started an investigation of the maternity wards of several city hospitals. Briefly the accusation is that all the babies born in the hospitals are laid in a row on one bed. When the mother or any other relative asks to see the child the nurse picks up the first one that comes handy and presents it as the real one. Frequently, it is said, mistakes have been made. It was the suspicion of one young husband that brought the matter to the attention of the Women's club. The man's name is withheld, as he does not wish his wife to share in his uncertainty. T. R. Kansas Men Win In Court. The Kansas Progressives won a legal victory in Denver, Colo., Monday, when an opinion was handed down in the United States circuit court in the Taft-Roosevelt Kansas electoral vote controversy, providing that the order refusing an injunction in the case be affirmed, and the case be remanded to the Kansas courts, with instructions to dismiss the bill of complaint. This case will be appealed to the supreme court of the United States. An injunction was asked by the supporters of President Taft to prohibit the names of the eight Roosevelt electors being placed on the Republican ballot in the general election in November. This was denied on Sept. 6 by Judge W. H. Sanborn, of the United States circuit court of appeals, at Topeka, Kan. The decision affirms this. Steel Plant Raises Wages. The Eastern Steel company, of Pottsville, Pa., has announced an increase of 15 per cent inthe wages of all its employes in the rolling mills. Several hundred men will receive from $20 to $25 per month more as the result of the increase, and it was learned that the company contemplates an increase to all its 1500 employees. Rises 18.766 Feet In the Air. Georges Legagneux, a French aeronaut, established a new world's record for altitude at Villacanabla, France, his machine attaining a height of 5720 metres (18,766 feet). The previous holder of the world's altitude record was Roland G. Garros, who, on Sept. 6, reached a height of 16,240 feet. Mrs. Daisy Grace Sues For Divorce. Mrs. Daisy Ople Grace, who was recently acquitted in Atlanta, Ga., of the charge of shooting her husband, has begun suit in the, common pleas court in Philadelphia for a divorce. She charges cruel and barbarous treatment. A master will be appointed to take testimony. Quarantine Against Irish Potatoes. The department of agriculture at Washington has issued a quarantine against the "common or Irish" potatoes from Newfoundland, Islands of St. Pierre and Miquelon, Great Britain, Germany and Austria-Hungary. The order is effective immediately. Five-Cent Eggs This Winter. Eggs at five cents apiece is the price predicted for this winter by Professor F. S. Jacoby, head of the poultry culture department of the state university at Columbus, Ohio. Storage eggs usually held for winter are now being gold in large cities, he says. Bethlehem Steel Raises Wages. Good news to the hundreds of laborers at Charles M. Schwab's Bethlehem Steel works, at South Bethlehem, Pa., was the announcement of an increase in wages of one cent an hour. The old rate was 13½ cents an hour. About 3000 men are affected.

Two Dollars per Month Will Rent the Wellington. Two men and a boy were killed at Malaga, twenty-eight miles from Camden, N. J., when a Pennsylvanla railroad electric train struck the big moving van in which they were taking a load of furniture from Vineland, N. J., to Philadelphia. The driver and owner of the van was Joseph Caplan. The other two victims were Jacob Caplan, aged thirteen years, and Nathan Fisher. The accident occurred during a heavy rainstorm. Two horses attached to the van were killed, and the first car of the electric train was so badly damaged that it had to be sidetracked. The victims were badly mangled and were identified with difficulty. Molten Metal Kills Two. John Shute and Louis Slovac are dead, five other men are seriously injured and twenty others hurt as a result of an explosion in the open hearth department of the Cambria Steel company at Franklin, near Johnstown, Pa. Twenty tons of hot metal, released by a leak in furnace No. 8, made its way along the ground until it reached a pool of water; when it exploded, throwing showers of metal in every direction. A pearl breastpin, which eleighteen-year-old Olga Martin swallowed while hastily dressing for a party two years ago, was removed from the girl's lungs at the Lutheran hospital in New York. The pin was located by X-rays and removed with forceps. Elephant Attacks a Coach. A wild elephant's attack on a coach in Ceylon, India, was reported in dispatches from Colombo. The brute demolished the coach and killed the driver, but the passengers hid in a culvert and escaped. Tuberculosis Cattle Killed. Seventy-five head of cattle, all infected with tuberculosis, were killed under government inspection at Paterson, N. J. This is the largest single condemnation of diseased cattle yet made in New Jersey. The first exclusively commercial newspaper in America was issued in Boston one hundred and seventeen years ago this month, under the title of "The Boston Price Current and Marine Intelligencer." Miss Sarah N. Meriwether, of the class of 1910, College of Arts and Science, post graduate of Normal Washington, D. C. President-Newman, as teacher of English and History at Howard University. Mr. E. Earl Ward, of Columbus, Ohio, who was engaged in the transfer business there, and who had amassed a small fortune at the age of 31, was drowned in Chicago, while attending the Business Men's League there. Pressure is being brought to bear on the State Department to force the Cuban government to settle claims amounting to more than $15,000,000 The principal claim is held by an American contractor, who, during Major Wood's administration, installed a sewer system and paved the streets of Havana. The number of women colonels in the German army now number nineteen in the army. The latest statistics, of Germany show that the birth rate is steadily decreasing. The number of children born for every 1,000 women of an age to have children is now only 74, as compared with 200 forty years ago. It cost John M. Slaton, of Fulton County, Georgia, $12,760 to be nominated for the governorship of Georgia, just $2,760 more than he will get at $5,000 a year during his two-year terms. It is estimated about 2,000 pupil will be barred from school by the recent act of Congress regarding the new non-resident law. The local school authorities are somewhat troubled as they do not know for what number of children to prepare for.

As the date rapidly approaches when Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt, of New York city, is to come into the absolute possession of his entire fortune, he lingers with his bride, the former Mrs. Smith Hollins McKlim, in a house boat on the Thames river, England, where they are expecting a visit from the stork. This event is due so soon, according to the reports, that Mrs. Vanderbilt will be able to return to this country with her husband to celebrate his thirty-fifth birthday, which terminates the period of trust in which half his patrimony was held. The will of Cornelius Vanderbilt bore the date of June 18, 1896. The seventeenth provision created the trust in favor of Alfred, assigning to the executors the duty of holding, investing and relinvesting the remainder of the estate and collecting rents, incomes and profits for the use of Alfred Vanderbilt until he became thirty years old. At that age, on Oct. 20, 1907, he received one-half of the estate, which amounted to $25,000,000. This fall he will receive the other half. Democrats Fight For Pennsylvania.

The most marked upward trend of the cost of living is disclosed in the federal bureau of labor's report of an investigation of prices for the last ten years, conducted in the important industrial centers of thirty-two states. Fifteen most important articles of food, as well as coal, comprising two-thirds of a workingman's needs, were investigated. In several cities the investigators gathered statements of merchants on the cost of living, and specimens of these are published in the report. On June 15, 1912, the report shows, fourteen of the fifteen articles of food were higher than a year before, and ten had advanced in the last ten years more than fifty per cent over the average retail prices for the ten year perior—1890-1899. During the last decade prices of potatoes changed most and sugar the least. Their advance were 11.9 and 8.5 per cent respectively. During the last year, bacon, which decreased just one-tenth of 1 per cent, was the only one of the fifteen principal articles of food that showed a decline in price, while nine of the fifteen advanced more than 10 per cent, varying from 2.4 per cent for milk, to 18.6 for round steak. Of the fifteen, only eggs, butter, milk and sugar were lower, but the price of three of these four is normally lower during summers than during winters. Specimens of the statements of merchants in various cities, published in the report follow: Philadelphia—No money in meats at the above prices. A second—"We paid June 17, 15½ cents a pound for rumps and rounds and 11½ cents a pound for chucks of beef, the highest price in the history of our business." New York—Meats in general are so high that if prices continue much longer will be obliged to close up business. Have already lost about $200 since advance in prices. Chicago—Jobbing price on flour has advanced 80 cents per barrel, and unless there is a decline in the near future retail prices will advance. Baltimore—If the present high prices prevail much longer in the wholesale market, I do not know what will become of the retail dealers. Boston—Probably this is the last month we will be in the provision business. The high prices of meats are driving us out. We have been in business fifteen years, but must get out before we are put out. Cincinnati—The recent floods have sent cattle to market before their maturity, and grain being the highest in years has had the tendency to give us the highest meat we have handled in years. May 15 we paid 8¼ cents a pound for steer cattle; ten years ago, 5¼ cents. Pittsburgh—Good beef is scarce and high and is cause of driving other meat up. Long, severe winter and high price of grain supposed to be reason. In the last year bacon was the only food to show a decrease in price, which was one-tenth of one per cent, while other foods advanced. The following table shows the percentage of increase in prices for the last ten years and the last year: Ten years and the last year Year. Year. Fresh milk 2.4 32.9 Smoked ham 2.7 61.3 Hens 3.8 58.1 Granulated sugar 6.0 8.5 Irish potatoes 7.6 111.9 Wheat flour 10.7 39.2 Pork chops 11.2 86.0 Pure lard 11.3 55.3 Fresh eggs 11.8 26.1 Cornmeal 12.7 63.7 Creamery butter 15.3 33.2 Sirloin steak 17.1 59.5 Rib roast 17.5 63.8 Round steak 18.6 84.0 Smoked bacon ... 96.7 Coal also advanced considerably in some cities. The price on April 15, as compared with a year before, was higher for Pennsylvania anthracite, stove size, in twenty-five out of twenty-nine cities from which reports were secured. In the North Atlantic states Pennsylvania white ash coal, stove size was 11.3 per cent higher on April 15, 1912, than a year before; Pennsylvania anthracite, white ash, chestnut size, 11.9 higher, and bituminous, 11 per cent higher.

Commanding Tenth U. S. Infantry Stationed In Canal Zone. Chief of Police ENGINE EXPLODES; AVIATOR FALLS IN LAKE Rescued as He Was Sinking With Machine. Ignatz Seramouk, a Russian aviator, with a French license, flying at the aviation meet being held in Grant park, in Chicago, was rescued a mile out in Lake Michigan by a motorboat after his hydroplane had been blown to pieces by an explosion of the radiator and just as he was sinking with the last remnant of the framework. He was badly burned about the back. Hundreds of persons on the shore saw the hydroplane sinking and watched the aviator climbing into the parts of the machine that remained above water, while half a dozen boats were rushing to his rescue. Bad winds again prevented carrying out the full aviation program. The only contest was a race between hydro-aeroplanes over a two-mile, course. Beckwith Havens won in four minutes and thirty-nine seconds. Anthony Janus was second in six minutes and thirty-one seconds. ROBBED BY MOTOR THIEVES New York Jeweler Gagged and $5800 In Gems and Cash Stolen. Three men and two women in a touring car got away with $800 cash and $5000 in gems from the jewelrvy store of G. Reichmann, 111 Second avenue, New York. While the women waited in the machine the men entered the store, jumped on the proprietor, who slept in the rear, gagged him and went to the safe, which they blew open. The door leading to the store was found open and empty trays littered the counters. Reichmann was found lying on the floor, bound and gagged. He was unconscious. The police found several neighbor of the Ghetto who saw the touring car standing in front of the place. Reichmann was severely bruised in his encounter with the hold-up band and it was some time before he could give a coherent account. KILLED BY HIS FATHER Young Negro Slain While. Protecting His Mother. Shot through the heart by his father, Arthur Randolph, a negro, twenty years old, of Fifty-fourth and Vint streets, Philadelphia, died in a patrol which was taking him to the Howard hospital. The young man received the wound while protecting his mother from Armstead Randolph, his father. After the shooting the elder Randolph was arrested by Policeman Gibson after a chase of several blocks. LOVERS LEAP TO DEATH Young Man and Woman Plunge to a Canon's Depths.

Attorney General Says Negro Must Meet Competition—Emancipation Day Exercises at Franklin Park Abandoned on Account of Rain. (From Daily Ohio State Journal.) Columbus, O., Sept. 23. "Prepare yourself to compete under the present system with the best." is the advice of W. H. Lewis, Assistant United States Attorney General, who was to speak yesterday at the Emancipation Day celebration at Franklin Park, which was abandoned because of rain. Education is the great solution of the race problem, Mr. Lewis thinks, and in his opinion the men and women who desire to better their living conditions must strive not for the common-place, but for the very highest. Mr. Lewis was graduated from Amherst College and from Harvard law school, and was appointed to the attorney general's department under President Taft after having been mentioned for the same office by Roosevelt. He has become a national figure since being identified with the federal government. - Must Be Changes Referring to the present political situation as it concerns his people, Mr. Lewis declared that before many of the proposed progressive measures become efficacious there must be a fundamental change in the life of the country. "Before there can be any social or industrial 'justice'," he explained, "there must come natural justice. By that I mean, in a primitive way, the right of a man to be hanged by a court instead of a mob. We never can secure the natural justice until we secure the ballot, and we cannot hope to secure industrial and social justice until our natural rights are secured. At present there are millions of persons throughout the country who are deprived of the ballot. What good will the initiative and referendum and the direct primaries do them?" Mr. Lewis expressed emphatic opposition to the recall of judges, but declared himself in favor of a method of removal more expeditious than impeachment. Would Lead to Anarchy. "The idea of having our laws controlled by prevailing public opinion is repugnant to me," he continued. "In the long run it would lead to anarchy. Speaking from the standpoint of the Negro, his course in the South is fragile enough. In many cases the judges are just, but what would the influence be? If there is any department of our government that must be unhampered it is the judiciary." "The recall of judicial decisions is an 'utter absurdity.' We are living virtually under two constitutions. Take, for instance, the declaring of the New York workmen's compensation law unconstitutional. What if the decision were taken to the United States Supreme Court and after being sustained the people of New York recalled it? The people of New York would thus be overruling a decision of the United States Supreme Court, which is the highest in the country. On the other hand, what if the decision were reversed by the Supreme Court and the people of the country at large would recall it, thus violating states' rights? It's impractical." Analyzing the stand taken by the Progressive leaders in excluding the Negroes of the South from party representation, Mr Lewis charged them with hypocrisy and declared that, while they withheld the ballot in certain States, they solicited votes in others. He also took a stand against certain forms of industrial pensions and minimum wages, declaring that the country is "not a sick nation and that there is no need of ambulance legislation such as has been passed in England and France." EUGENE V. WRIGHT DEAD. A Worthy Young Man Dies Suddenly. Funeral services of Eugene Vinton Wright (the oldest son of Mr. Thos. H. Wright, of the Department of Justice) whose sudden death occurred on Sept. 18, 1012, were held Saturday last, from the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church, of which he was a member, pastor of the church, Dr. Brooks, officiating. Dr. Brooks extolled in eloquent words the exalted Christian character and useful life of this young man, and his popularity and usefulness in the church. Mr. Wright, it is said, was passionately fond of children, and hence took an active part, in the Sunday School, and labored faithfully, in season and out of season, for its advancement, and at one time was its honored superintendent. He was also a member of the choir, and in this department seemed to nd his greatest happiness, and nothing apparently gave him more pleasure than to meet with its members in social capacity or mingle his voice with theirs in chanting the songs of Zion. Of gentle disposition, affable manners and pleasing personality, he eudereed himself to all in church and Sunday school and in choir.

GONE TO WILSON From the Bull Moose to Democracy. Robert L. Waring, a member of the local bar, but now a resident of New York City, and author of "As We See It," has arrived in the city from the Democratic headquarters in New York, which has employed him to organize Negro Wilson Democratic Clubs. "As We See It" Col. Bob called on The Bee office Monday and informed the editor that he was going in the State of Maryland and organize Negro Democratic clubs. He had an interview with Mr. Blair Lee, of Maryland, who will introduce him to the Negro Democrats in his State Col. Bob will organize the Negroes into clubs. Col. Bob will have to ride in "Jim Crow" cars throughout the State, because the laws that have been enacted by the party which he will help will not permit him to ride in a first-class coach. It will be remembered that Col.
