C., SATURDAY OCTOBER 12, 1912 SWINGS TO TAFT NATION-WIDE SWING OF SENTIMENT TO TAFT Reassuring Letters From All Parts of Country Reach Headquarters—Colonel Losing Ground—Democrass' Tariff Stand Is Ruining Their Chances in Many Sections, Say State Chairmen. New York, Oct. 7. Letters of an enthusiastic and reassuring character have been pouring into Republican national headquarters during the last few days, bringing from individual Republicans all over the country, assurances of a nationwide swing of sentiment to President Taft and the various Republican State tickets. Chairman Hilles said yesterday that these letters, written not for publication but for the guidance and information of the Republican National Committee, confirmed the reports that the "Taft wave" was unmistakable, that the Roosevelt "bubble" had been punctured, and that as between a Republican and a Democratic administration for the next four years the voters have determined to stand by the Republican party and prosperity. The following are abstracts received by Chairman Hilles: From Warren G. Philbrook, Republican chairman, Maine: The political situation in Maine has undergone a material change within the last two or three weeks. The first furious outburst in favor of the third term movement has spent its force, and loyal Republicans are fast reaching the conclusion that the only safe and sane course for them to pursue is to support the Republican party. From James S. Lakin, Republican State chairman, West Virginia: The situation in West Virginia today is as different from that of three weeks ago as is night from day. The protection and prosperity issues have come to the front most aggressively within the last ten days. The four Democratic Congressmen elected in the landslide of two years ago are now on the defensive, crowded into a corner and fighting for their political lives. They represent protection districts, and their free trade votes in the House have been a nightmare to them. From James S. Beasley, Republican State chairman, Tennessee: President Taft's chances of carrying Tennessee are constantly improving, notwithstanding the trip of Colonel Roosevelt through the State, Colonel Roosevelt's violent abuse of Governor Hooper has injured Mr. Roosevelt, but has not hurt the Governor From J. H. Roraback, State chairman, Connecticut: Connecticut is a Taft State, and a great majority of its voters are unquestionably in favor of a protective tariff as against free trade or "tariff for revenue only," and if these issues had been the only ones before the people there would not be the slightest doubt as to the result in this State. The political atmosphere, however, is clearing as the people grasp the real issues. The early doubt as to the success of President Taft in the State is disappearing, and the people are realizing that there is no possible chance for the Progressive ticket winning in the State. The voters are learning that the Roosevelt cry of fraud at Chicago was absolutely unfounded, and that he, and not the followers of President Taft, endeavored to "steal" the delegates there; consequently the people are becoming disgusted with him and his arguments. The manufacturers, the workingmen and the farmers are now giving their closest attention to the tariff situation, all realizing that their interests are identical and vital in this matter. In fine, Connecticut seems almost certain to go for Taft and the entire Republican State ticket, and four, not all five Congressional nominee on the Republican ticket. From Edmund T. Walker, State chairman, New Jersey. From all parts of New Jersey the word is coming that there is a devolved drift of political sentiment in President Taft's favor. This condition manifested itself when the Republicans gathered at the State Fair in Trenton on the day known as "politicians' days," and when reports of conditions were exchanged. In Trenton about a month ago these men felt some uncertainty as to the outcome. Today a new spirit seems to possess them. They brought word of a steady trend in sentiment toward President Taft. In no class of voters in the State is sentiment changing so rapidly as in the case of the commuters. These commuters are business men from New York and Philadelphia. In their extreme opposition to Colonel Roosevelt a few weeks ago many of them had made up their minds to vote for Governor Wilson, on the theory that President Taft had little chance of being elected and in order to thoroughly extinguish Roosevelt. Since then they have had a thorough change of heart and mind. They are no longer afraid of Roosevelt, and as between Tait and Wilson, they stand for Tait and the continuance of national prosperity. CHARLES LINKINS TO AID LOCAL REPUBLICAN FIGHT. Named Assistant Treasurer of Campaign—New Club Governors are Named. Following a most enthusiastic meet- ing of local Republicans at the headquarters of the National Republican Club last Sunday night, Charles Linkins was announced as assistant treasurer for the local campaign to cooperate with Chapin Brown national committeeman for the District of Columbia. The appointment of Mr. Linkins which had been recommended by Mr. Brown, came direct from the headquarters of the Republican National Committee in New York, and was sigged by George R. Sheldon, national treasurer for the Taft and Sherman campaign. It was explained by Mr. Brown that the appointment of Mr. Linkins to this important post in the campaign was most satisfactory to him and that in-much as Mr. Linkins represents large financial interests here the results probably would be entirely creditable. Edgar C. Snyder, president of the club, presided at the meeting. The success of Taft and Sherman was predicted by Chapin Brown, Wilson E. Andrews, Charles Linkins and others. Platform and Candidate Indorsed. The club indorsed and ratified the Republican candidates and platform in a set of resolutions which declared the cry of "stop thief" to be factional and unwarranted. Faith in the Chicago nomination methods was reiterated; and of special interest to Washington was the paragraph in the resolution recommending the President's "efforts in behalf of government employees, emphasizing particularly his messages to Congress in advocacy of a suitable plan of retirement and reasonable provision for the needs of those who have given the best part of their lives to the service of the State, as well as the extension of the civil service law." Chauncey E. Richardson and B. S. Smith were elected to the board of governors of the club. The entertainment features of the evening were in the care of a committee composed of William C. Connor, chairman; M. M. Potts, Russell G. Balderson, James A. Baxter and Charles Y. Graff. The music committee was composed of William F. Ruckert, chairman; Arthur W. Hodgkins, M. L. Reintzel, E. A. M. Lawson and Col. W. W. Wallace. MR. SIDNEY PITTMAN. Of Washington, D. C., Awarded the Contract for the Drawing of Plans for the U. B. F. Three-Story Building. (San Antonio, Texas, Leader.) Mr. W. Sidney-Pittman, of Washington, D. C., and son-in-law of Dr. Booker T. Washington, who has erected more than a million dollars worth of buildings during his career in the architect capacity, has been awarded the contract for the drawing of plans for the erection of the U. B. F. building, at 604 E. Commerce St. Mr. Pittman arrived here Wednesday from Dallas, where he is erecting the Knights of Pythias grand lodge temple at a cost of one hundred thousand dollars; he was also awarded the contract for the drawing of plans for the sixty thousand dollar auditorium to be erected by the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows in Atlanta, Ga. Mr. Pittman on his arrival here Wednesday was met by the U. B. F. building committee and a conference was held at night in their hall to discuss ways and means by which the building would be erected. It was finally decided that they would erect a three-story brick building, the first floor constituting store room, the second floor composed exclusively of offices, and the third floor being emerged into a magnificent auditorium with balcony, which is estimated to cost between eighteen and twenty thousand dollars. After Architect Pittman had retired his plans to the committee giving a brief sketch of his proficiency as an architect on many other building of much greater dimensions and more complicated than the one now under adjustment, the committee readily reached the conclusion that they would employ the eminent architect to draw the plans and supervise the construction of the building, centering on the form of plans that had been furnished by Dr. J. T. Walton, who was instrumental in securing the services of Mr. Pittman. While in the city he was the guest of Dr. J. T. Walton, and expressed himself as being gratified with the results of his first visit to the historical city. Mr. Pittman departed Thursday morning for Houston, where he is supervising the erection of the colored Carnegie library, which is now under way. M. ROWN, LSQ IS KNOCKED OUT DUBOIS KNOCKED OUT. Prof. W. H. Hart's Great Speech. The Master of Rhetoric and Oratory Tells Some Truths—He Upholds the Administration—Napier and Others Speak. The Opening Exercises of the Bethel Literary and Historical Society. The fine auditorium of the Metropolitan church was filled with an audience of the best colored people of Washington Tuesday night to hear the address of Prof. W. Burghardt Dullos upon the wisest use of the 600,000 colored votes in the approaching national election. Prof. Dullos is the editor of The Crisis, and the accepted leader of the educated colored people of the country, and is the executive head of the National Society for the Abra-ment of the Colored People. This fact, together with the subject address, brought our an audience to greet him and to hear him Prof. Dullois spoke for two hours upon the economic condition of modern civilization and the south the colored people of these United States with reference to modern productive industrialism and cop- sponsibility for the backward and favorable condition of the colored people upon the Republican party and advised the colored people to unite in one body under one leader—in itself pre-umably—the entire 100,000 colored votes outside the solid south and give them to the Democratic party next November. This skillful and direct assault upon the Republican party, and the bold and urgent advice to give their solid support to the Democratic party fairly stunned the great audience, because the long line of economic re-asoning upon the doctrines of Marx, Ricardo, Mills and George, seemed to warrant this establishment conclusion, and the precedent of the Catholic centre party in Germany was cited as proof of wisdom in the case of the colored people of the country. Prof Duluth, a centrally training and persuasive speaker, and had presen- tence in the manner of evils of industrial democracy, the unearned invest- ment, the preed of capital, the poverty of M. B. Formerly President of the Monicans. Loved by all who knew him Died Thursday night, Oct. 6. people and the extravagance of the few rich as the direct result of the action and policy of the Republican party, and when he had concluded and taken his seat the immense audience applauded him vociferously. Rev. J. Milton Wadron, who had a seat upon the platform, together with Prof. Geo. W. Cook and Dean Miller, of Howard University, then made a passionate appeal to the audience to support the Democratic party, and was followed by a strong speech to the same effect by R. R. Horner, Esq., a trustee of the public schools of the District of Columbia. Prof. Wm. H. H. Hart, of the law department of Howard University, then rose and was recognized by the chairman. He said 't' the address of Prof. Dulois, upon economics, which he had taking three hours to present, could be stated in three minutes, and the inevitable conclusion of the mere statement of them would confirm all reasonable men in the truth that the welfare and future progress of the colored people and all the people of these United States was absolutely dependent upon the continuance in power of the Republican party—the best friend of the laboring man. Prof Hart then said that human labor is the source of all wealth, added by the fact relief and capital in production; that there had been three stages in the development of social institutions: viz, savagery, slavery and the wage system; that savagery the individual himself produced will be needed, and there was in slavery the same primitive conditions prevailed and the drones or master class took everything and degraded and brutalized the helpless workers beneath the beasts of the field. Slavery in this country was created, fostered and extended by the Democratic party, and every step in the progress of the colored people of this country from slavery to citizenship, from vassalage to voting, had been obstinately opposed and resisted by that political party in both the States and the Nation; that the Republican party came into existence to free the slave and to free the soil under its first slogan: "free men free soil and Freemont," in 1856, and the civil was realized this first great principle of the Republican party and made all labor free, black as well as white, and masters of their own labor, which each might sell for wages and thus make a living for himself and his loved ones, and after all labor had become free and economically equal under the triumphant rule of the great Republican party, the protective tariff was enacted into law to give the laboring people of this whole country a home market, into which they might profitably sell the products of their labor without competition with the illpaid and degraded labor of the rest of the world: that under Republican party rule wages had increased and the hours of daily labor had been decreased, and the laborer socialized. educated, refined and elevated; that in this general and beneficent social progress under Republican party rule the colored people had taken a large share—not all that might be desired—but all that they possessed or might hope to possess in the future; and that now in the full tide of prosperity and reasonable promise of even better things, if their political party, the party created for them, and by them, could be kept in power, for them to give their suffrage to the Democratic party, their ancient and implacable enemy would be the height of folly and equivalent to committing social and political hari-kari, or suicide; that Prof. DuBois was a blind and dangerous adviser whose leadership would conduct himself and his people to disaster and death through indescribable suffering if the blight of Democratic party rule should ever again fall upon our people. Prof. Hart concluded by raising his hands and exclaiming like the crucified Christ, "Father, forgive this man; he knoweth not what he doeth," and sat down. The audience sat silent for a moment and then burst forth in tumultuous applause. Mrs. Mary Church Terrell then spoke for the Republican party and was followed by the Hon. J. C. Napier, Register of the Treasury, who said that it would be just as reasonable to advise all good Christian people to turn away from the good God, our Heavenly Father, and to repudiate Jesus Christ. His only begotten Son, who was crucified for our redemption and salvation and take up the worship and exaltation of the Devil as to advise the colored people to give up their support of the grand old Republican party and give their suffrage to the Democratic party. Rev. Dr. Ross then made an eloquent speech against the suicidal and insane advice of Prof. DuBois, saying that it led no where but to the devil. Prof. DuBois then rose to conclude the discussion, saying finally that if it were necessary to go to the devil to get his rights, the full measure of which the Republican party had not accorded him, then, in plain and simple English he proposed to go to the devil. The audience laughed good-naturedly and declined to accompany Prof. DuBois into the Democratic party at this time, and his serious and labored effort of the evening was turned into a joke by Prof. Hart's luminous and logical treatment of it. Galbraith Approaches Her Sixtieth Anniversary The exercises began last Sunday morning, the superintendent and her able corps of teachers were in their class room earlier than usual. The Sunday school held its regular monthly prayer service. At 11 A.M. a large and representative congregation assembled to hear the pastor preach on the subject "The Unlimited Possibilities of Faith." The sermon was an original and powerful pre-entation of divine truth. The central thought running through the whole discourse was, that all things are to be accomplished through faith in God. Dr. Corrothers holds that the great problem to be settled is the problem of our individual relation with God our maker. He declared that men and nation were only instruments in the furtherance of a divine providence. He concluded by declaring that every man should strive to reach the standard set by Jesus-Christ of Nazareth. The offering for the day was two hundred and seventy dollars (S220). hundred and seventy dollars ($270). Sunday, October 13, the second special sermon will be delivered on the subject "Citizenship in the Kingdom. Versus Membership in the Church." Sunday night at 8 o'clock the annual sermon will be preached to the Knights of Jerusalem. Public is invited. Mrs. Thomas H. Weddington, of Washington, D. C., will sail from New York on October 12, for South America and other foreign countries. Mrs. Weddington will return February 1, 1913, when she will be joined in New York by Mr. Weddington, and on March 1, 1913, they will take possession of their new home in Washington, D. C. PARAGRAPHIC NEWS Important News Happening of the Week DEVOTED TO GENERAL INTEREST DEVOTED TO GENERALINTEREST (By Miss G. B. Maxfield) As a result of an investigation of the hookworm disease in Kentucky, it was announced 1,750 cases had been discovered in Bell county alone, in the last twenty-eight days. All cases discovered are under treatment. The National Baptist Convention endorsed the Taft administration and advised all Afro-American citizens to vote the straight Republican ticket. James A. Roos, of Buffalo, N. Y., is at the head of the colored Democracy of that place. Dr. Jordan Chavis, of Chicago, Ill., died suddenly in that city last week. His death was a shock to the people. The East Washington Citizens' Association wants "Jim Crow" cars in this city, and it objects to colored people living in its neighborhood. The weekly paper of the Salvation Army, "The War Cry," is published in twenty-eight languages. Lieut. Mortenoh, colored, who is a native of Guadeloupe, has been promoted to captain, in the French navy. He is the first colored man to attain high rank in the French Navy. Governor Mann, of Richmond, Va., seems to be wryly over the charge that he has been guilty of nepotism in naming his son as special counsel for the State, before the courts. The United Hebrew charities of this city, according to their report, have expended $4,752.30 in real charity, and not a penny for salaries. The contents of a weekly paper, published in Athens, Greece, are all in verse, even the advertisements. The Lincoln Memorial Church is given $10.00 by the terms of the will of Mattie V. Robinson, dated August 5, 1912. Frank M. Langston is named as executor. A record-breaking attendance was noted for the opening of the night schools. An enrollment of 1,100 in the white schools and 1,109 in the colored schools have been recorded. Col. Roosevelt requested Woodrow Wilson to either prove or retract his statement that the United States Steel Corporation "is behind the third party program in regard to regulation of the trusts." An exchange says the mayor of San Antonio, Texas, has announced his intention to appoint four women on the city police force. Miss Helen Keller, the famous deaf and blind authoress, is in the city. Although Miss Keller has been blind since her infancy, she has been made famous for her achievements in education and culture. Among her best known literary works are "The World I Live In," and "Optimism." In a town in Russia there has been discovered a remarkable relic of Napoleon's Russian campaign, in the form of a copy of Goethe's "Werther." It is excellently bound, and contains, as well as Napoleon's signature, a curious inscription on the fly leaf. The largest sign in the world was recently constructed on the east bank of the Columbia River, in the State of Washington. The sign is nearly a quarter of a mile long; the letters are 40 feet wide and 100 feet high. The smoker for the benefit of the return delegates was largely attended last Saturday night. Col. Johnson took things philosophically. Alfred Moss, the son of ex-Judge Moss, has been promoted to a clerkship in the District government by Commissioner Rudolph, and Joseph S. Jones has been reinstated to a better position. THIRTY-FIRST ANNIVERSARY. The Plymouth Congregational Church celebrated its thirty-first anniversary. The man who organized Plymouth and made it what it is today was Wm. Peel, a native of Washington. In the finely printed program there is nothing said of the founder of this church. The Bee is of the opinion that it was an oversight on the part of the officers. But just how the name of this benefactor could have been overlooked, The Bee is unable to state. Founders, like inventors, are seldom given credit for what they do. Wm. Peel was born in this city. He resided at Southeast corner of Eleventh and K Streets Northwest for a number of years. He succeeded in erecting the present church, and was doing well for his people at the time he was removed. Rev. Peel was not classic enough for his membership, so they removed him after he succeeded in building the present edifice. Perhaps Rev. Peel will be remembered by the historian of the church before the conclusion of the exercises. A DEMOCRATIC BILL. To Repeal Law. Providing Punishment for Crimes Against Citizens Rights. Sixtieth Congress, first session, HI. R. 13853. In the House of Representatives, January 15, 1908. Mr. Hull, of Tennessee, introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary and ordered to be printed. A Bill To repeal section fifty-five hundred and nine, of the Revised Statutes of the United States, relative to crimes committed while violating the elective franchise and civil rights law. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled. That section fifty-five hundred and nine of the Revised Statutes of the United States relative to felonies or misdemeanors committed while in the act of violating section fifty-five hundred and eight of the Revised Statutes of the United States relative to conspiracies to injure or intimidate citizens in the exercise of the elective franchise and civil rights, he, and the same is hereby, repealed. Sec. 2. That this Act take effect from and after the date of its passage. Sec. 5508. Revised Statutes of the United States.

NEGROES' ENEMY. What the Democratic Party,will do if It Gets in Power—Lesson to Negro Democrats. Heflin's "Jim Crow" Street Car Bill. Sixty-second Congress, second session, H. R. 14680. In the House of Representatives, December 6, 1911. Mr. Heflin introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on the District of Columbia and ordered to be printed. A Bill Providing that the street car companies of the District of Columbia shall provide separate street cars for white and Negro passengers. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled.

See 2. That it shall be unlawful for said street car companies to allow white and Negro passengers to ride in the same street car, and for each offense shall be fined one hundred dollars. Senator Newlands Favors Disfranchisement. Senator Newlands, Democrat, of Nevada, comes out for a "white man's" government and an amendment to the Constitution that will withdraw the voting franchise from Afro-Americans yet to be born. In a recent interview he said "Mr. Roosevelt opened up a very interesting question in declaring that his new party should be a white man's party. It is true that he weakened the logic of his position by declaring that it should be white in the South and black and white in the North; but perfection in mental process is not to be expected of one who is going through a revolution of long held opinions. "He will come out all right in the end and will reach the inevitable conclusion that the blacks as a race must everywhere in this country be deprived of sovereignty, and that is what black suffrage means. The same reason that justifies disfranchisement of the blacks in party justifies it in government. If we ought to have a white man's party, we should also have a white man's government." "The Colonel complained of blac' domination at Chicago. But what does he think of black domination at Washington, maintained by the black vote in five pivotal Northern States, where they have the balance of power?" · NEGRO MUSICIANS AND MUSIC What the Race Has Done With Its Gift of Harmony and Plans to Encourage and Aid Composers in America. (From the X. Y. Evening Post) The death of Coleridge-Taylor, a British Negro, and the foremost musician of his race, has again drawn attention to the talent of the Negroes for music—a talent which in Coleridge-Taylor's case, received in England encouragement and honor, where as in our own country the barrier of race has kept colored musicians, with one or two exceptions, in the music- hall, and has made them ashamed of their best heritage—the folk-music of the old plantation. Believing that the true development of any race should include as an important factor an intelligent recognition of marked racial talent, the Music School Settlement for Colored People (started last year) has had as one of its express aims an appeal for serious consideration of the musical gifts of the Negro people. As a neighborhood settlement, the school, in the single year of its existence, ha already filled so important a need that it has outgrown its present quarters at the Free Kindergarten for Colored Children, in West Sixty-second Street, and will soon occupy a building further uptown, in the "black belt" of Harlem. More than 2,000 lessons to children and adults have been given in nine months, and it is believed that the large Negro chorus now being formed will prove one of the most attractive and important features of the Settlement. The educational appeal to the colored people through music is unquestionable, and some of the leading educators of the South, including principals of great industrial institution for the Negro, believe that the Music School Settlement is 'finding a meeting-ground of common sympathy for whites and blacks which will help promote better understanding. The Concert Last May. A concert under the auspices of the school at Carnegie Hall last May was planned to show what the colored people had themselves accomplished in music, unaided by outside help or encouragement. A Negro orchestra of 125 members, made up of violins, mandolins, pianos, banjos, guitars, cellos, and drums, with the orchestra of the "Clef Club," performed original works of the best Negro composers, such as Coleridge-Taylor and Henry T. Burleigh; and the music that called forth the greatest enthusiasm that which was truest to the old Negro melodies. The large audience included many of those interested in educational work for the Negro, like Mrs. Carnegie, W. Jay Schiffelin, and Robert C. Ogden. Carnegie Hall was taxed to its utmost capacity, and a thousand people were turned away. True Negro Music. "This revelation came at once at the concert given under the auspices of the New York Music School Settlement for Colored People. There were a great many representative white musicians and the entire New York musical press present, and there was a stir when the orchestra started to play the fascinating rythms of Cook "Swing Along" followed by a storm of applause; there was no one in that audience that did not feel that for once he had heard the "real thing," the true Southern Negro idiom, worked out with clever musicianship and general verve into a truly artistic manifestation. "This pleasurable surprise was equalled if not surpassed when the second part of the program brought another composition of Will Marion Cook: "The Rain Song." To this delightfully quaint and naive dialect poem the composer has found a melody well-nigh perfect in its idiomatic charm and in its close adapation to the vocal inflections of the colored dialect. The musical form given to it (calling for six solo-singers to rise from the middle of the orchestra and say their little verse in turn with the full chorus responding) was as happy in its effect as it was natural and appropriate. This is music very close to nature indeed in its resources, but there is much of art in the way in which the climaxes are built up, and there is also a particular racial feeling for strong, full harmony. Cook, besides having the advantage of European training as a violinist under no less a master than Joachim, knows the musical traditions of his race thoroughly, and fortunately he is not ashamed of them. On the contrary, they give to his work a deep-rooted strength and the power of conviction—as if he were the spokesman for all his brethren. Mr. Cook's work at its best means no less than finding the proper musical correlative to the Negro idiom, and thus winning a new territory to music. A comparison with another man's work who has done a similar service to his nation becomes obvious when we look at Cook's masterpiece, his "Exhortation"—the sermon of a Negro deacon to his audience of darkeys. Those who are familiar with the peasant-songs, the operas, and the humorous character-songs, (like "The Seminariat") of the great Russian, Moussorgsky, will realize the striking parallel that exists between the Russian composer and the Negro, although on such different grounds. What Moussorgsky has done for Russia in faithfully noting down the idioms of the Russian peasant-orphans, lay-priests, mothers, and children—has been accomplished in a way Cook for his colored people. The effective characterization of the darkey preacher (his sauve eloquence, his tempestuous moods, his jolly comparisons) and the chorus of convinced devotees—it is all humorous, delightful, melodious, and genial, while the great "Amen" with its racial shurs and inflections, is an inspiration indeed. "Besides his larger works, Cook has written many songs in more popular vein, some of which are fascinating with their crooning lilt, and are always distingished from other popular song-writings by rich and mellow harmony quite his own. But it is to the development of his serious work along the lines of the 'Rain Song' and the 'Exhortation' that we look forward, since herewith he will not only perform a lasting service to his race, but intrinsically enrich the entire musical world." In England, Coleridge-Taylor was regarded as an important factor in British musical life; his fame crossed to America, and he was invited to come here to conduct some of his own works. We have in our midst Negro composers of equal possibilities. NATALIE CURTIS. Wireless Genius, Who Was Injured In Auto Accident. 1 1912, by American Press Association. MARCONI IMPROVING Wireless Inventor Expected to Leave Hospital Within a Week. Such great improvement has taken place in the condition of William Marconi, the inventor of wireless telegraphy, that it is expected he will be sufficiently recovered from the injuries sustained in the automobile accident on Wednesday to leave the hospital in Spezia, Italy, within a week. HIS 13-YEAR-OLD WIFE MUST GO TO SCHOOL John Palasis, of Logan street, Philadelphia, must send his thirteen-year-old wife to school for another year, according to Magistrate Boyle, or he will have to go to jail. The girl was reported by the truant officer, and her father was arrested for the violation of the school attendance act. The smiling little helpmeet waved a marriage certificate before the astonished magistrate and said: "I no go to school. I stay home and make beds and get husband's meals." make bees and get husband's meals." Magistrate Boyle concluded matters by filing the father $14 and costs, and told the husband that if he did not send her to school until she was fifteen years of age, that he would be arrested and fined also. HOUSE DROPS INTO MINE Family Warned by Flying Furniture Before Building Turns. As the members of the family of George McKelchnle, of Courtdale, near Wilkes-Barre, Pa., were eating dinner there came a loud report and the tossing about of furniture. The family rushed out, to find that a mine cave had occurred under the house and that the cellar walls had been almost completely lost in an opening which extended into the mine and which was large enough to swallow several buildings. The damp condition of the earth permitted the house to sink, and the gradual settlings finally turned the building on its end. This is the second cave to occur at the same place within the last year. One year ago the building was upturned. It was set back in place, and after weeks of labor the cave hole was filled up. The property is undermined by the Kingston Coal company. STEEPLE JACK TUMBLES Falls Twenty-five Feet, Inside Stack, Breaking Many Bones. Benjamin Beasely, a steeplejack in the employ of the Standard Oil company at Bayonne, N. J., mounted a emokestack twenty-five feet high, and while straddling the top of it lost his balance and plunged down through the inside of the pipe. He struck nine cross-beams before hitting the bottom and plunged out the door of a furnace from which the fires had been drawn. When workmen ran to him he remarked calmly: "Gosh! That was some fall." They took him to the Bayonne hospital, where it was found both legs, his left arm and eleven ribs were fractured. "You cannot live two hours," Dr. Warner told him in reply to a question as he was about to administer an anaesthetic. "That being the case, I propose to die conscious," said Beasely. "Get one of the fellows to run around to my house, 30 West Twenty-sixth street, and tell my wife. I want to see her." Beasely is still alive and the doctors marveled at his vitality and apparent indifference to pain. He is only twenty-four years old and was married a few months ago. Coal at $8.75 in Baltimore. Coal at $8.75 a ton was the record reached in Baltimore, Md., when the Baltimore coal exchange decided upon its fall schedule. This figure is for chestnut sizes. HOSTILE DEMOCRATS. Introduce Many Bills In Sixty-second Congress Inimical to the Afro-American People. For many years the Democrats in congress have introduced bills and joint resolutions inimical to the Afro-American people. They have been very active in the present congress. Now that they have the control of the house of representatives many bills antagonistic to the colored race have been presented to congress. Because of a Republican president and a Republican senate it is impossible for them to enact any of their proposed measures into law, but the fact that such legislation has been proposed and has in every instance been offered by a Democrat is proof that the Democrat party would enact inimical legislation if it had the power. On April 12, 1911, Congressman Hardwick of Georgia introduced two joint resolutions, one H. J. Res. 60, proposing an amendment to repeal the fourteenth amendment to the constitution, and one H. J. Res. 61, proposing the repeal of the fifteenth amendment to the constitution. On April 18, 1911, Congressman Hardwick of Georgia introduced a bill, H. R. 5.945, to prohibit in the District of Columbia the intermarriage of whites with Negroes or Mongolians. On Dec. 6, 1911, Congressman Hefflin of Alabama introduced a bill, H. R. 14.680, providing that the street car companies of the District of Columbia shall provide separate street cars for white and Negro passengers. Before casting his ballot for the Democratic ticket every Afro-American voter should read the above a special time and then ask himself, if it would be safe to aid in putting hostile Democrats into power. THE JIMCROW CAR How the Democratic Legislators of the South Endover to Degrade and Humiliate the Afro-American. In their efforts to degrade and humiliate the race the Democratic legislators of every southern state have provided a system of jimcrow cars for Afro-Americans. "The laws say that the accommodations "shall be equal, but separate." As a matter of fact, they are seldom equal and usually very inferior, especially on the smaller lines, where worn-out cars, which are generally in a filthy condition, are for Afro-Americans. On the larger roads better cars are used, but the jimcrow car is generally placed next to the locomotive, where the occupants get the full benefit of the dust and smoke and are in a dangerous position in case of accident. Several states have enacted laws for bidding sleeping car companies to sell berths to Afro-Americans. These laws were not passed for the reason that southern Democrats are anxious to avoid close proximity to Afro-Americans', for servants are allowed under the law to ride in the same car with the whites. The idea, which is to humiliate the race, is clearly expressed by H. D. Wilson, a prominent Louisiana Democrat, greatly interested in jincrow legislation, who said: "It is not only the desire to separate the whites and blacks on the railroad for the comfort it will provide, but also for the moral effect. The separation of the races is one of benefit, but the demonstration of the superiority of the white man over the Negro is a greater thing. There is nothing which shows it more conclusively than the compelling of Negroes to ride in cars-marked for their especial use." Democratic Promises Broken The southern states were readmitted to the Union in 1863, after the civil war, and it was expressly provided that no state should ever abridge the right of any voter. The act passed July 28, 1863, was as follows: "That each of the states of North Carolina, South Carolina, Louisiana, Georgia, Alabama and Florida shall be entitled and admitted to representation in congress as a state of the Union when the legislature of such state shall have duly ratified the amendment to the constitution of the United States proposed by the thirty-ninth congress, known as Article 14, upon the following fundamental conditions: That the constitution of neither of said states shall be so amended or changed as to deprive any citizen or class of citizens of the United States of the right to vote in said state who are entitled to vote by the constitution thereof herein recognized except as a punishment for such crimes as are now felonies at common law whereof they shall have been convicted under laws equally applicable to the inhabitants of all the states." Four of the states named have passed laws restricting the right of suffrage, and in all of the southern states the laws are enforced in such a way as to debar thousands of men from exercising their rights as citizens because their skins are black. The southern states were readmitted to the Union upon the fundamental condition that they would never amend or change their constitutions as so as to deprive any citizen or class of citizens of the United States of the right to vote. It was a sacred obligation. Have they kept it? Can the Democrats, who have deliberately broken their promises, be trusted? The election of Woodrow Wilson, southern born and southern bred, his mind filled with southern Democratic traditions, can bring no possible good to the Afro-American. "Let us hold fast to that which we know is good." LYNCHING SCORED BY PRESIDENT Advocated Rope For Lynchers In Recent: $ ^{b} $Address. GALLS IT COWARDLY MURDER Republican Party Has Always Stood For Law and Order—Democratic Party Has Condoned Lawlessness. President Taft Has Denounced Lynching In Many Public Utterances. In forty years more than 5,000 persons have been the victims of mobs, Vardamans, Miss., has the largest number to its discredit. Afro-Americans have been lynched for such causes as race prejudice, infroncing, making threats, unpopularity, slapping a child, being troublesome, testifying against white persons, enticing servants away and in many cases for no cause whatever. The Republican party is essentially the party of law and order. While the Democratic party has condoned lawlessness; the Republican party has always stood for the supremacy of the law. The majority of the lynchings have taken place in states controlled by the Democratic party. President Taft has denounced lynching in the strongest terms in many public utterances. President Taft Advocates the Rope For Lynchers. At a meeting held April 9, 1912, in the Metropolitan A. M. E. church, Washington, for the purpose of raising funds for the building of a gymnasium at Howard university President Taft condemned mob law in vigorous language. The president did not unnice his words, and he was greeted with thundering applause when he declared with emphasis, "The man that pulls the rope should hang by the rope." President Taft said in part: "Now, take the matter of lynching. That as well as the administration of our criminal law forms a disgraceful page in our social history. [Hearty applause.] I just think it is well to take a text on that subject. [Prolonged applause and cheers.] "Now, I know that our courts are not perfect. I know that they don't apply the law with certainty and dispatch in the criminal cases as they ought to, and I believe that part of this departure from laws as is the case in lynching and disorder is due to the fact that courts are not certain and are not full of dispatch in the justice meted out in criminal cases. But we must not attribute it all to the courts. There is among our people a disposition to forget the sanctity of the law and not to know that no civilization in any country can live unless the law is respected. [Prolonged applause.] Now lynching is claimed by some to be justified because, as they say, it is applied only to the person guilty of one special crime that is particularly belonlous to all of us. But that is not true. Statistics show that lynching is applied to those charged with a great many crimes, and the moment you transgress once and the moment the mob acquires the wolfish desire for human blood the example is dreadful to the community in which the exhibition of lawlessness is given. [Prolonged applause.] And there is not any crime—I don't care what it is—that justifies a departure from the law or the summary punishment by a mob of the person who is charged with guilt. [Prolonged applause.] It is one of the serious questions that we have to face in this country. We have not among all of our people as profound a respect for the law and the necessity for obedience to it as we ought to have, and that is part of the reason why we have this exhibition of lawlessness over the country and these cruel murders, for that is what they are, for it is no less a murder when 400 participate in the killing of one man. Ordinarily it is accompanied by a great deal more of cowardice by reason of the fact that 400 are engaged in such a crime. "AND THE ONLY WAY BY WHICH IT CAN BE SUPPRESSED IS THAT SOME TIME, WE SHALL HAVE MEN AS SHERIFFS, MEN AS GERONNERS AND AS PROSECUTORS AND AS JURORS, WHO WILL SEE TO IT THAT THE MEN ENGAGED IN PULLING THE ROPE UNDER THOSE CONDITIONS SHALL THEMSELVES SWING BY THE ROPE. [Hearty applause and cheering.] Wherever it occurs it is to be condemned and rooted out, and this can only be done by developing an individual and public opinion demanding the enforcement of the law. And I hold that every one who tends to minimize respect for constituted authority and respect for the law and falls to follow it just as it is contributes to the continuance of that lawlessness which we deplore theoretically, but, I am sorry to say, at the same time we express too much sympathy with actually." Party principles have not changed. The Democratic party is the same today as it was before the war, so far as the Afro-American is concerned. The Afro-American has everything to gain by the triumph of the Republican party, the party which stands for freedom and human rights: AFRO-AMERICANS AT WHITE HOUSE Race Fares Well Under Taft Administration. Twenty-seven Colored Employees. Place of Custodian Created For Major (Now Lieutenant Colonel) Arthur Brooks, National Guard of the District of Columbia—His Commission Signed by President Taft. When Mr Taft became president, March 4, 1900, there were six colored messengers and laborers employed in the executive office. In the reorganization of the office in 1911 two were transferred to positions in the departmental service. One was afflicted with tuberculosis, and the president had him transferred to a good position in the war department in New Mexico on advice of his physician. Since the president's inauguration three colored employees have been added-Major Arthur Brooks commanding First Separate battalion. N. G. D. C., for whom the place of custodian was created; William Pannell and Harry L. McKay In the executive mansion the following Afro-Americans, in addition to several others who are still on the rolls, were employed at the time the president came into office: Messrs. Duncan, Amos, Brent, Reeder and Pinckney, Mr. Duncan was transferred to the treasury department at an increased salary, Mr. Brent was transferred as a clerk to the city postoffice at an increased salary, Mr. Reeder was transferred to the state department. Mr. Pinckney was given a good place in the executive office, and Mr. Amos was given a good place in New York. All of these places were filled by the president with colored men. In addition the president appointed the following Afro-American employees at the executive mansion: W. W. Brown, J. W. Mays, S. C. Jackson, L. C. Peters and Miss Annie Brooks. When the president came into office there were five colored coachmen and hostlers at the White House stables. On account of changing from carriages to automobiles, chauffeurs and footmen were employed, but places were found in the departments for four of these coachmen and hostlers and the other voluntarily accepted a position in New York. There are on the regular payroll of the executive office six colored employees whose salaries aggregate $5,600 per annum. On the regular payroll of the executive mansion there are twenty colored employees whose annual salaries aggregate $11,562. One colored employee in the White House garage receives a salary of $70 per annum. A number of colored men and women are employed for duty at functions during the social season and their pay in the aggregate amounts to more than $1,000. The total amount paid to Afro-Americans at the White House is nearly $20,000 per annum. After twenty-five years of faithful service as the commanding officer of a battalion of the national guard of the District of Columbia, Major Arthur Brooks has recently been retired with the rank of lieutenant colonel. His commission was signed by President Taft. Lieutenant Colonel Brooks is atlil on duty as custodian at the White House. FOR HIGHER EDUCATION. President Taft Says It Is Essential to Full Development. Every once in awhile you will meet a man whose vision is a bit clouded, who talks about the waste of money in teaching men of your race the curriculum of an academic institution. Instead of sending them to the university, the claim is made that they should be sent to manual training institutions. Such a man has never thought deeply on the subject and does not understand that as a race which is striving onward and upward you need many who shall be leaders—men who shall figure in the learned professions, many of them as physicians, as lawyers and especially as ministers. Race Has High Ideals. I believe in the higher education of the race so that the leaders of the Afro-American people may have high ideals, and I believe they have. I believe that they subscribe, as perhaps some others in our community life do not, to the majesty of the law and have respect for constituted authority [hearty applause] and for our institutions as they are [Great applause].—President Taft at Howard University Meeting. President Taft has denounced lynching in more vigorous terms than any other president. He advocated the rope for lynchers. President Taft appointed an Afro-American to the highest appoinitive office as yet attained by the race. THE BEE Published at 1109 Eye St., N. W., Washington, D. C. W. CALVIN CHASE, EDITOR.

The result of this Presidential campaign is of deeper concern to the colored race than that of any campaign since the adoption of the war amendments to the Constitution. In the outcome of this contest is the race's crisis. Republican success will settle all agitation and fear respecting our legal rights vouchsafed by the Constitution. Democratic success will mean a whirlwind of agitation against those rights and the ultimate restriction or annulment of those rights. This is made clear by the attitude of the Democratic party respecting the war amendments; the indicated aim of that party to introduce in Congress a bill to repeal them, in the event of its securing control of the presidency and the two branches of Congress. And it is made clear by Woodrow Wilson's suggestion that the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments are unconstitutional. Again, the result of this campaign is of grave concern to our race for the reason that the Democratic party proposes, in the event of its success, to emulate the action of its majority-contingent in the South by enacting Jim-crow legislation that will apply as effectively in the North as that party's Jim-crow State legislation applies in the South. For proof for this statement one has only to cite the introduction of three different bills, introduced in the present Democratic House of Representatives at Washington, to segregate colored people on street cars, and the startling anti-race speeches, on the floor of Congress by several Democratic Congressmen. With a contest on between President Taft, who is open and honest in his utterances and acts in favor of the race, and Dr. Woodrow Wilson, who, himself and anticedents, have been consistently opposed to the race, any member of the race who will vote for any candidate, other than President Taft will simply vote to retard race advancement. And any colored man, or men, who work for or in the interest of the Democratic candidate, or any other candidate other than President Taft, is chargeable with having received the thirty pieces of silver that once influenced a Judas. And this is said without any apology to Bishop Walters and his purchased contingent or ill-advised colored men who are now conducting a colored Democratic headquarters in New York City. Twice within the past four years the Democrats of Maryland did attempt to disfranchise the colored voters in that State. Each time President Taft, in unequivocal terms, with robust denunciation, openly opposed that disfranchisement. And to his opposition, timely and forcible, is due the defeat of the measures by the people in that State. The colored men in Maryland who will now vote against President Taft, after he has twice saved to him the elective franchise, invites and deserves disfranchisement, and his reward will come sure and swift in the event of Democratic success in November. The colored man, in any State, who does not feel a debt of gratitude to the President because of his protest against the Maryland disfranchising measures is an ingrate who merits repudiation by his own race. In Ohio the count shows that the recent defeat of the amendment to strike from the constitution of that State the word "white" is at the door of the Democrats and Progressives. Democracy and Progressiveism are synonymous terms when the rights of the colored man are involved. The Democrats went on record against the race long before the --- Civil War. Their opposition was reaffirmed during that war, and it has been reaffirmed every year since that war. The Progressive party went on record against the race at its birth at Chicago in August last. Not before, or since his nomination has Woodrow Wilson given utterance to a single word to which the colored man can pin a hope of security. His silence is ominous of his opposition to the race. It is ominous of unjust laws to follow his election. Compare the records of the two then. In the Taft column are words of sympathy, helpful support, and deeds of justice. In the Wilson column are words of opposition and total absence of deeds performed. THE OLD SCHOOL. In the death of John Francis Wilkinson this community loses a highly respected and honorable citizen. He was a typical "gentleman of the old school," gracious in manner, thoughtful in his relations to all with whom he had contact, and eminently efficient in his responsible work in the law library of the Supreme Court of the United States. Members of the bar in this city, and all parts of the country, who had occasion to consult the law books of the library of the Supreme Court, have testified time and again to the helpful assistance rendered them by Mr. Wilkinson, whose knowledge of the books therein enabled him rapidly to put his hands upon any which were desired for consulting purposes. Many years ago he took an active interest in all matters affecting the welfare of the race, and while not pushing himself prominently to the front, remained a positive force, to be relied upon by the fraternal organizations to which he belonged. As a young man he was popular with all kinds and classes of people, and belonged to that rare set of colored leaders in this city, who accomplished great things without noise and the blare of trumpets—things affecting the educational needs of the race as well as their civil and political rights. When we think of him, we think of his useful and forcible associates in the early days of our liberation from slavery—William Henry Smith, James Wornley, Isaac Landie, Walker Lewis, Perry Carson, Cornelius Clark, John Francis, John Smallwood, Carter Steward, Robert Booker and a score of others of like caliber, who lacking the training of the schools, succeeded splendidly in many callings, and left examples of probity, industry and high aims which the young men of this day, may well stop to consider with advantage to them-selves. John Francis Wilkinson was not only a courtly gentleman, who would have been at home in the court of Louis XVI, but he looked like one, walked like one, and talked like one. He is now gone, and this community and the race has suffered a distinct loss: His death will be universally regretted by all who knew him. Peace to his ashes! BOLTERS WANT OFFICE. The Democratic managers will have their hands full if Mr. Wilson should succeed in being elected. They will be confronted with applications for big jobs by colored men who failed to receive such jobs under a Republican administration, and by going into the Democratic party they hope to realize their coveted ambition. Now, The Bee will make this suggestion to the Democratic managers, in the event Mr. Wilson is elected, to try the faith of these recent converts, and to be convinced whether their democracy is genuine, and whether they left the Republican party in good faith; hold out some faith to these Negro Democrats in 1916. Many of them are hungry for jobs, and the moment they are turned down they will return to their old home. There are many of them. One or two local and recent converts to Democracy are anxious to succeed Assistant U. S. Attorney, Mr. Cobb. Another is a candidate to succeed Judge Terrell. Another would like to succeed Recorder Henry Lincoln Johnson. The Democratic platform calls for home rule, hence no outside Negro Democrat will be made Recorder of Deeds. If any Negro Democrat thinks that he will succeed Auditor Tyler or Assistant Attorney General W. H. Lewis, he is very much mistaken. As conservative as Mr. Cleveland was, the Harrison administration left a number of colored bureau officials in office, but not a one remained when the Democratic cabinet officers took charge. No Negro succeeded Lynch and Terrell; no Negro succeeded Col. M. Mc. Holland, and no Negro will succeed any Negro chief if the Democratic party comes into power. Every Negro Democrat or alleged Negro Democrat ought to be caged today and placed upon exhibition as a monstrosity. Those who are supporting the Democratic party are doing so for revenue only, and Negro Republican bolters want office, which they will not get, because these monstrosities who have been in the Democratic party for some time will want the jobs. DON'T FORGET. That the high water mark of wages have been reached under Tait. That the farmers harvest a billion more bushels of cereals this year than ever before. That employment in all parts of the nation is easy to obtain. That there are no free soup houses anywhere. That no panic has occurred under Taft. That prosperity is universal and boom times would follow Taft's reelection. That the Panama Canal will be opened next year, and it should be opened by the party which built it. That Wilson comes up from the South with 126 stolen votes, and if elected his election will be fraudulent. That Foraker has advised all colored men to stick to the Grand Old Party. That the political condition of the Negro at the South is the monumental disgrace of civilization, and that the Democratic party is responsible for it. That the Progressive party honeyfuggled the Northern Negro and "double-crossed" his Southern brother. The Lincoln was a Republican, Jeff Davis a Democrat, Grant a Republican, Lee a Democrat, Bob Toubbs a Democrat and Thad Jesu Stevens a Republican, Tillman a Democrat, Foraker a Republican, Vardaman a Democrat, and Crum-packer a Republican. That the rights of the Negro were acquired under the War Amendments, enacted by the Republican party, since which time the Democrats have been busy reducing the race to peonage in all parts of the isolated South. That it is dangerous to play with fire, especially with those Democratic non-fires which have roasted to death a hundred black men in the last five years. What we are telling you. REFORMERS' CHIEF. Mrs. Sarah F. Lewis, the chief of the True Reformers, is the most successful hunter in the great organization. Her report to the Reformers' convention at Rielmond, 'a., was highly commended, and to such an extent was her work commended and appreciated the convention would have given her anything she wanted. She was retained as District Deputy, however. There are some good and enterprising women both in the Reformers and the St. Luke's. COMMITTEE KNOCKED OUT. Representative McKinley was too much for the Senate Democratic Investigating Committee. When the Democrats are not niosing into retrenchments and reforms they are making efforts to prevent other people from spending money. They spend all they can get their hands on, but they don't want others to spend. The Bee would presume that the country had enough of Democratic reformation. WHERE? The Bee would like to know whence the colored trustees of Howard University were when the white woman was placed over the regular librarian who was a colored woman. They must have been asleep. PROF. HART. Prof. Hart. of Howard University, is no doubt one of the most gifted speakers and lecturers in this country. His address before the Bethel Literary last week was a masterly effort. He put Prof. DuBois to flight. The Bee congratulates him on his reply to Prof. DuBois, and the defense of the principles of the Republican party. A safe rule—be square. The fellow who writes about himself as being a social lion is often a pariah. We congratulate Dr. Marshall, wish him success, and promise him every possible encouragement, when right. The political campaign is begin- The colored Advisory Committee appointed by Chairman Hilles got a flying start, and promise to make things hum all along the line. Colored voters are beginning to see that the election of Wilson means a fearful step backward for them, and the election of Taft a step forward. Senator Foraker says in a letter advising the colored voters to stick to the Grand Old Party, that he "wants to hear less talk about Armageddon and more about Appomattox." T. R. says that he is "through with the Republican party." but is "bringing on like grim death to the Republican electors in California. Sulzer, the Democratic nominee for Governor of New York, says "to the victors belong the spoils," and Governor Wilson, Democratic Candidate for President, says "Mr. Sulzer is all right!" President Taft looms larger as the days go by as one of the biggest of world statesmen. The high cost of being a "Progressive" candidate for office has sent a shudder down the backs of the "common people," who are coming back by the thousands to the Republican fold. T R. and his friends regret that they ever attempted to put Senator Penrose to the bad. The quiet Pennsylvania turned loose a thirteen-inch gun on the "Progressive" movement, which is dying rapidly. "Ed" Morris is sending up a chuckle way out on the lakes which "Bill" Houston can hear even down here in Washington. Roscoe continues to do business at the old stand in spite of the Insurgents, and is as chipper and polite as a dancing master. Those colored men who are taking Democratic money and declaring for Wilson are the most unreliable of men. Like carion crows, they are temporary subsisting on rotten food. They make Judas appear good, when compared with them. They have neither the ability or energy to make an honest living. They are parasites. Win, H. Lewis, J. C. Napier and Henry Lincoln Johnson will be the matchless orators who will take the stump in this campaign. Lewis has all the logic, the power, and the culture of a Webster: Johnson has all the warm, crowd-carrying eloquence of a son of the South, and Napier the convincing, center-hitting style of a real successful pleader. POLITICAL CATECHISM Ques. Are there any foods among the Negroes? Ans. Yes. Ques. Who are they and where are they? Ans. They are in the Bull Moose and Democratic parties. Ques. Why are they fools?

Disappointed in failing to work the Republican party and their failure to get an office. Ques. Why did they fail to get an office? Ans. Because they were found to be incompetent and didn't represent anybody. Ques. How much weight do Negro Democrats and Bull Moosers draw in this city? Ans. None whatever. They can't draw their own weight. Ques. Will any of them succeed Negro Republicans in the event of Wilson's election? Ans. They hope so, but they will be disappointed! There are too many hungry white Democrats in town. They are being paid for services rendered now. Ques. Who are the independents? Ans. They are Negro Democratic traitors in disguise. They are being paid for what they think they can do. Ques. Can they do much? Ans. Yes, they do everybody they can, irrespective of party or persons. Ques.

PublicMen And Things (By the Sage of the Potomac.) I had a round-a-bout talk with Jim Waters the other day, he of the trenchant pen. You know when Jim writes a card he always uses a pointed pen—no stubs for Jim—and he generally dips it into a little vinegar and vitrol just to make his words readable, and his writing legible. Jim conversed about Cyrus Field Adams. What he said about Cy, if Cy got hold of it, would never be sent to the Roycrofters to be printed and bound in morocco. Evidently, from Jim's opinion of the lily-white resident of Illinois, the pale face, white haired Assi-tant Register has never lifted his hand, to do Jim a favor. Now Jim may be somewhat erratic, when it comes to pitching pointed words against a fellow he bears no 14 karat love for, but at that, you have to hand it to the boy that he is pretty nifty in handling the English language, and that he has a few ounces of nerve secreted under his belt. And you have to hand it to the boy that he always makes him-el understood, and don't care a tinker-dam how big or how little a fellow is when he wants to "take his pen in hand to write a few lines." And he's a handsome looking fellow. Every time I see him moving down the street, with a sort of General Corbin walk. I muse to myself, "what a dandy looking son of Ham he would be in a Haitian Generaf's uniform." The town is blanketed with the rumor that at the banquet given to little Henry Slaughter last week. Armond Scott and the honor throwed rings all around my old frater- Henry Lincoln Johnson and Willie Bill Houston These two worthies were invited to taste of the vandals, and dip their bills into the liquid refreshments and enjoy a little senate-cured oratory. Of course they loaned their presence, never suspecting that they were getting into an ambush. Of course Armond Scott just naturally must let out what's in him. And he will have his say if you ain't on guard to stop him, and a prize has been offered for the fellow who can stop him. And Henry Slaughter, flushed with victory, and feeling tolerably good, thank you, since he won the 1912 handicap at Atlanta, where Ben Davis was selling ten to one with no buyers, just couldn't contain himself. Of course it was Henry'-deal, and he had a perfect right to deal himself four aces if he wanted to. Any man who has the deal and don't deal himself a winning hand is regarded as a piker. Now I was at that banquet, and heard every line of talk. I witnessed Henry rising, amidst applause, vociferous gesticulations, and the Chataquua salutes, with a couple of empty glasses at his plate, but not inverted. And I heard him inject a few pleasantries, idiocynaceries, etc., that recalled, in a most vivid manner, the late affair at Atlanta. I also saw Armond Scott rise, swelled up with vitrol, and heard him throw a few unhittable inshoots with a speed that would have made Cashion and Walter Johnson look like the remnants of the "dirty dozen." I looked over and saw Link Johnson breathe heavy, sigh long, and cast a long lingering look at Houston. I saw Houston's brown complexion become over-cast with a sickly yellowish hue, and then enter into a state of coma. And I saw John Goins, who is never more happy than when his Achilles, Slaughter, is playing the hit and run game, trying to keep from stretching a smile into a haw-haw. Everybody was on the quive when the fireworks, began, and you may talk about your Fourth of July display, ascending rockets, and Roman candles, and other pyrotechnics, but no Fourth of July, since the time of the memory of man runneth not to the contrary, ever produced the red fire that that banquet produced. I heard it from an intimate friend that after the banquet was over, Henry Lincoln and Willie Bill Houston got their heads together, and resolved never again to accept an invitation to a banquet without first being underwritten by the biggest underwriter in the world, and securing a certified promise that they won't be given indigestion. After the banquet was over, a friend told me, in the presence of six other men, that he went up to Slaughter and said to him: "Little Sawed-off, who are you?" Whereupon he remarked: "I'm the guy that put at in Atlanta." And it is rumored that Johnson and Houston, after the firing had ceased and the dead and dying had been removed from the field of carnage, when asked who they were, responded, in subdued tones. "We are the guys that caused ban to be taken out of banquet." There have been many banquets in Washington, but this was the first at which two dromios were made to take the part of grave digger and ghost in Hamlet. THE PARTY OF AND FOR ALL THE PEOPLE: The Republican party, more nearly than any other political party in this country, has been and is the party of and for all the people Republican leadership and Republican statesmanship since the foundation of the Republican party has had the lofty conception that no real progress or uplift could be achieved unless that progress or uplift embraced all the elements and all the classes constituting American citizenship. Whether it were in the case of the black man in slavery, or any man in any condition of life, the Republican party has been wise to perceive that the progress of all is impeded so long as there be injustice to some, on the broad plane that the growth and development of white - civilization as well as similar justice to the black man depended upon its taking the broad stand for human rights; the Republican party has vindicated this position by its achievement for the good of all, and South and North all alike must admit that the human rights policy of the Republican party stands out beyond and above comparison with that of any other party in this country. The Democratic party today, for the reason that its principal strength and main stay is in the States of the South, is a party with a heritage of slavery and burdened down with a leadership of those in the South who are not far remote from the class, political, and social system that grew up by reason of the slavery oligarchy in the South. It is not the party of freedom. It is not the party of broad conception. It is not the party of higher ideals. It is not the party of free speech and a free ballot. On the other hand, the Republican party in Republican 'States of the Union' is the party of free class, of free speech, of equal rights of the free and an untrammeled ballot, and with no career of prescription or prejudice as against any race because of nationality or color. What hope there is to those in this country who look to the rights of man is in the Republican party, and the present leadership of that party seems today to be closer to the old time principles of the fathers than has been the case in all these recent years. No Republican President has spoken out against disfranchisement, against lynching and on the rights of Negro citizens any more stronger than has President Taft within the past twelve months. Taking this into consideration, and, with the further fact, that among his closer advisers are men like Senator Murray Crane, Representative William B. McKinley and others of this type of human rights Republicans, it looks that now as never before the true and tried Republicans of the country should rally to the election of President Taft. JOSEPH C. MANNING HOWARD PARK ASSOCIATION. President Newman Will Speak. The fall campaign of the Howard Park Citizens' Association will be inaugurated at its initial meeting Monday evening. October 14, at the Church of Our Redeemer, 8th street, near Barry Place, Northwest, at 8 o'clock. President Newman, of Howard University, has been asked to make the principal address of the evening, and other speakers will be present to discuss the scope and aims of such associational work in the District covered by the said association. At the meeting last week of the executive committee it was agreed to recommend to the association a plan to extend the geographical boundaries of the present territory so that a larger membership might be admissible, particularly from the rapidly increasing population in the territory extending between Xinth and Fourteenth street on the west and from Florida Avenue to Park Road on the north. There are many matters of vital interest to the civic concern of the resident-embraced in said territory that can be substantially aided through cooperation in the association and it is the purpose to give these matters' special attention during the present season. The association would be glad to welcome the cooperation and membership of all persons within its territory who are interested in promoting the civic begirement of the community.

The officials of Alfred Street Baptist Church are arranging for their annual Autumnal Rally, which will be held Sunday, October 20, at which time Rev. A. Truatt, the pastor, ex- Editor Bee: . Will you allow me a word concerning the "Sage of the Potomac" and his last letter? As to the dear Sage himself, he is charming, so wise and so witty. How kindly and gently, yet firmly he attacks our fads and fancies, our faults and foibles. He is the "best ever." Now, apropos of that last letter, wherein he veritably dissects the religious and* matrimonial make-up of one of our most cultured gentlemen. Of course, I do not take the Sage seriously, and yet I fear some may do so, and a little harm result inadvertently, "don't you know." I confess I'm a little old-fashioned, but I hold that a man's religion and marriage are his most sacred and private affairs, and he should, be left in peace to pursue the same. Now, if our learned friend did not see cause to choose a black, brown or yellow mate, but one who is altogether white, I say, what of that? And I would kindly ask why race prejudice is a vice if found in the white people and virtue when colored folks possess it? Now, I know a number of colored folks in Washington who would not ride in a Jim Crow car from here to Rockville, and yet I fear, some of the same individuals would such a respectable white woman who marries a colored man, and would, if possible, relegate her to all the back seats they could find. What consistency! What Christian charity! In speaking of this same matrimonial venture a few days ago, a friend said "I'm sorry for them if they are to live in Washington." And, now I'm sorry if the educated and cultured class in Washington will not treat decently two individuals who happen to marry to suit themselves instead of the races to which they belong. Let me whisper, many more would do the same thing if they had the courage and the chance. Now, I believe that all good citizens of Washington will treat this white woman and brown man as though they were just as good as themselves, and who shall say they are not? Yours for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. PLAIN COUNTRY WOMAN. Oct. 9, 1912. WEST WASHINGTON. The Bee is on sale at Smith's drug store.

Corporal Scott was instantly killed, but Lieutenant Rockwell died on the operating table at the Walter-Reed General hospital in Baltimore, where he was taken after the accident in the automobile of Captain Charles De Forest Chandler, commanding officer of the school. The accident was due to the failure of the motor to stop running when Avilator Rockwell reached up to cut it off. The machine, which was but thirty feet from the ground and about to make a landing, plunged nose-downward, into the earth. More than 300 men and women witnessed the accident. Lieutenant Rockwell had taken the machine up for a last flight a few minutes before the accident occurred and found everything working right. Then he decided to make another trip and take a passenger with him. Corporal Scott, who was a mechanic in the hangar in which Lieutenant Rockwell kept his machine, agreed to go. They climbed in and flew away. After gaining an altitude of 150 feet and having soared about for ten minutes they headed their machine downward. When with in thirty feet of the earth, Lieutenant Rockwell reached up to cut the engine off, but it refused to stop, and the biplane rammed into the ground with tremendous force and was smashed. Scott was hurled several feet from the machine, while Rockwell lay a few feet away from him. Brother officers, who were acting as officials of the test flight, carefully picked up the two men. Scott was found to be lifeless, his skull being crushed, his clothing torn from him and his bones broken. Rockwell; with his head buried partly in the earth, still showed signs of life, but was unconscious. The army surgeon stationed at the field, after a hasty examination, ordered him rushed to the hospital in a final attempt to save his life. He never regained consciousness.

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 pupils 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.

NEW YORK, Oct. 15.—The Colored National Advisory Committee designated by Chairman Hilles held a most important conference here today, at the Republican National Committee headquarters in the Times building. The best method of conducting the campaign was discussed and decided upon, and the several members assigned territories in which to work. Those present, and composing the advisory committee, were Maj. R. R. Jackson, of Chicago; J. L. Jones, of Cincinnati, O.; Phil Waters, of Charleston, W. Va.; Harry S. Cummings, of Baltimore, Md.; Gilchrist Stewart and Fred R. Moore, of New York, and J. Solomon Gaines, of Boston, Mass. Mr. Gus J. K. Warmer, director of the Republican National organization bureau, met with the committee. The session lasted practically all day, with an intermission of two hours for dinner. Headquarters were established at 76 W. 131st Street, this city, to which all matters relating to the campaign among colored voters will be referred by the National Committee. Literature was decided upon for distribution, a speaker's list agreed to, which includes all the colored spellbinders, and a real live systematic campaign outlined. Illinois, Michigan, Nebraska, Wisconsin, and Iowa was assigned to Maj. Jackson. He will, in harmony with the State chairmen, in each State, name a man to have charge of each State in his territory. Ohio, Indiana, Missouri, and Kansas and Kentucky was assigned to Mr. Jones, who will proceed to organize his territory in the same manner; West Virginia and Tennessee was assigned to Mr. Waters; Delaware and Maryland to Mr. Cummings; New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania to Messrs. Stewart and Moore, and the New England States to Mr. Gaines. It was one of the most interesting, harmonious and far-reaching conferences held by colored men years. The purpose is to recognize and use all factions, in fact there is to be no factional line, the committee being imbued with but one thought—the election of President Taft and the entire Republican ticket in each State. Most of the committee left New York Saturday night to at once begin work. Gilchrist Stewart was designated to be in charge of the headquarters in this city with a corps of efficient clerks and stenographers to quickly dispatch the work. Every member of the committee is a strong Taft man, first, last and all the time. WEST WASHINGTON. THE MAN FARTHEST DOWN. (A Review.) A book should be read! it is often asserted, not so much for the fact presented as for those suggested. Whether or not this theory is generally true we do not here undertake to say. We do know, however, that one arises from a reading of Dr. Booker T. Washington's latest book, "The Man Farthest Down," with a decided feeling that both these ends have been satisfactorily served at one and the same time. In the fall of 1910 Dr. Washington made a journey among the laboring classes through parts of England, Scotland, Germany, Austria-Hungary, Italy, Sicily, Poland and Denmark. His purpose was "to gain some insight and, perhaps, be able to throw some new light upon the situation of my people in America." That he has succeeded in towing this even a superficial reading of the book shows. This, of course, was to be expected. The author's years of work among those at the bottom in America, his wide and sympathetic acquaintances with their struggles and their needs, together with his natural thirst for first-hand information, particularly fit him for making just such observations as he has here set down. In the twenty chapters which the book contains, the writer details vividly the impressions and experiences his excursions among the European toilers afforded. He was resolved to find, if possible, the man farthest down, and to acquaint himself more thoroughly with his actual living condition. In recounting his experiences he has necesarily touched upon a very wide range of subjects: the immigration problem, making country life attractive, racial problems, education, religion, poverty, socialism, the tariff, child labor, woman suffrage, and many others. These, however, are not discussed academically and abstractly. To the author these matters have interest only as they connect themselves with the daily lives those at the bottom are leading, and the interesting fact is that the reader finds growing upon him something of the same sort of practical interest in these problems. It is surprising to what concrete and simple notions these complicated questions are reduced Historically there are many points of resemblance between the people in the lower levels of life in Europe and the Negro in America, yet the author discovered that the conditions surrounding the European toiler in the countries visited, with the possible exception of Denmark, were so mean and sordid as to render them absolutely incompatible with those of the American laborer. This, too, in the face of the fact that many of the European workers, like those in London for example, have all their political privileges. The explanation, however, is not for to seek—they lack economic opportunities—"opportuni- HOWARD UNIVERSITY Stephen M. Newman, A. M., D. D., President. Located in the Capital of the Nation.

Rivaling this discount is the writer's des wretchedness and mis In several European countries, notably Denmark and England, there is an awakening to the misery of millions of their members, and the awakening has been accomplished by a determination to put an end to the misery. Many steps in this social revolution in the direction of reorganizing city and country life have already been taken. To various phases of this movement a considerable part of several chapters is devoted. Dr. Washington has all along insisted that this movement is fundamental, and he has found much in his travels to confirm this opinion. Make country life attractive and profitable, he argues, by providing proper educational facilities, modern farming implements and methods, co-operative business endeavors, and not only will the rural problems be solved, but many of those arising in the city among the poor will also gradually disappear. "It is a great deal simpler," the writer believes, "and, in the long run, a great deal cheaper to build up and develop a people who have grown up in the wholesome air of the open country than it is to regenerate a people who have lived most of their lives in the fetid atmosphere of a city slum." Con-iderable attention is devoted to the European working women. They were seen in their scantily furnished homes; in the fields, where they do three-fourths of the work; in the mines, where, in many instances, they are employed-alongside of their husbands, and in almost all cases their lot seemed most pathetic. "Women, the author observes, "have the narrowest outlook, do the hardest work, stand in greatest need of education, and are farthest removed from influences which are everywhere raising --- S AND APPLIED SCIENCES.

Rivaling this discouraging observation is the writer's description of the wretchedness and misery of the boy slaves in the sulphur mines of Sicily. "Behind all the movements which have effected the masses of the people in Europe, there has always been the Underman groping his way upward, struggling to rise." This is the first and great lesson the writer offers in adding the moral to his story, and the second follows as an inevitable corollary: "The effect of all that has been done to lift the man at the bottom, or to encourage him to lift himself, has been to raise the level of every man above him." Here, surely, is to be found the source of the conservative optimism—in the face of most discouraging details—which pervades the whole story. This, indeed is the high note of hope, not alone to the European peasant, woman worker and miner, but also, and in increased measure, to their fellow-toilers here in America. Between the lines there are other lessons, encouraging by-products, which are driven home convincingly. For example, it is shown that the Negro in America, the demi-love and alarmist to the contrary, not withstanding, is not the man farthest down. He is considerably handicapped and largely without his political rights, and yet, because of his economic opportunities, he has steadily forged ahead of the majority of European masses. Altogether the book is remarkably helpful. It is refreshingly written from a broad, catholic point of view, highly suggestive and thought-provoking, and pervaded throughout with a note of hopeful optimism. There is about it a certain fine breadth of vision and complete lack of prejudice which makes the author's conclusions pleasingly irresistible. No one, however, heavily the burdens of : THE ACADEMY.
