THE NEGRO IS LOYAL
Monster Mass Meeting of National Civil and Political League—Declares for Taft and Sherman.
Prosperity, Civil Rights and Industrial Serenity Depend Upon Triumph of Republican Principles—Repetition of Democratic Bread-Line and Soup Houses Wanted—Negro-Doing His Full Duty.
Whirlwind Finish of a Remarkable Campaign—Chairman Hilles' Managerial Sagacity Commended—Self-Respecting Negroes Standing Sturdily For Taft and Party of Freedom.
Eloquent Speeches by Former Senator Blair, Dr. Ross, Hon. Mr. Phelps and Hon. Mr. Townsend—Republican Victory in Sight.
The Taft campaign in this neck on the woods is winding up in a blaze of glory.
Although the citizens of the District of Columbia have no vote, many of those who call this city home are entitled to vote in the States from which they hail, and a great majority of them, convinced by speakers and literature that a crisis is at hand, will go to their several homes and vote for the candidates that stand for the policies they regard as essential to the continued prosperity of our common country.
A monster meeting of the friends of President Taft was held last Thursday evening at the Gorbailaith A. M. E. Z. Church, under the immediate auspices of the National Civil and Political League, which has been doing excellent work for a regular Republican party in twenty important States, led by men of acknowledged power and influence. The meeting here was presided over by Rev. S. E. Carrothers, the official head of the League, and who has given throughout this remarkable campaign the full force of his magnetic personality and ample experience in political management. His pain-taking effort will be felt in all of the States where the Negro vote is an appreciable fact. He has been an ardent supporter of President Taft and his prosperity or acting administration and has inspired his lieutenants in the field to render yeomanry service in behalf of the Republican ticket. His opening speech on Thursday evening took high high as to the duty of the Negro voters on the 6th of November, and, as the pace that made the meeting the most successful and significant of the present campaign in this section of the country
Proud Record of Republican Party
Extolled.
The scholars of the nation were former Senator Henry W. Iaquil, of New Hampshire, famed the country over as the author of the Blair Educational Bill, designed to wipe out through federal aid the pill of ignorance which bung over the Negroes of the nation at the time they were made freemen; the Hon. Oliver A. Phelps, a leader at the District bar, and one of the most effective Republican orators connected with the campaign. Rev L. X. Ross, the eloquent pastor of the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church; and Mr. T. Lincoln Townsend, director of the Republican Bureau of Information located here. All dwelt at length upon the proud record of the Republican party, of its achievements in war and peace, and its constructive policies that have made this nation the greatest and grandest on earth. The freeing of the slaves by Abraham Lincoln, the investiture of the Negro with the mantle of citizenship, and the protection the party has given the Negro through the adoption of constitutional amendments and the passage of remedial laws all came in for hearty laudation. It was the consensus of opinion among the orators reinforced by enthusiastic applause on the part of the large audience, that the Taft administration has "made good" and is entitled to retention in power for another four years. In short, President Taft has been truly progressive. On all of the great fiscal issues he has been safe and safe, and
has built up a prosperity in which all are shareable alike, and which means everything to the Negro, who is dependent, more so than any other class, upon the well-being of those who run the business world and pay wages. President Taft stands by the traditions of the Republican party as laid down by Lincoln, Grant, Sumner, Stevens and Douglass, and under him only are the civil rights of the Negro guaranteed. While the ascendency of older critics threaten the multification of the laws that safeguard the black man's citizenship, President Taft's practical recognition of the race in office and out-poken championship in education, to up him as the man most to be trusted by us in the present emergency.
Ovation for Ex-Senator Blair.
As the silver-haired ex-Senator Blair was introduced to speak, he was given, an ovation, and the entire audience joined in the "Chautauqua salute." President Coygothers styled him as a "Republican of the old school, a friend of the race when he most needed a friend, and almost the last of the old guard extending from Fremont to Foraker." Mr. Blair's theme was "The Third Term Menace," and after telling his friends how he felt toward the Negro for the wonderful progress the race has made in fifty years of freedom and declaring that in matters of American citizenship he was "color-blind."
he launched into a discussion of principles underlying free government and convinced his hearers that there a menace in allowing three terrors any one man in this country, and the election of Theodore Roosevelt paved the way toward a despotism toward a monarchical form of government that spelled disaster to the Republic and to the rule of the people. He wanted equal opportunity for r and poor, for black and white, education for the masses and ample protection for the man who engaged in business and for the citizen who goes and out among his fellows day by day, laboring as best he can to perpetuate the sacred institutions founded by Washington and given new life by Lincoln and carried grandly on today by William Howard Taft.
Neg. 335 Will Run No Risk of An other Bread Line Period.
Mr. Phelps dwelt exhaustively an interestingly on the tariff policy of the administration which assured his wages to workmen and his profits to the merchant and manufacturer on this side of the ocean, not tecting our people against the dire conditions which surreptitiously the pro-labor of Europe. He pointed dramatically to the endless building eras seen on every hard fact that everybody is at work wants to work, wages are liberal money is easy, homes are bought and paid for, children are educated, schools and churches flourishing, crops are of the humpy variety and prices are steady. Farmer and within reach of the consumer. "We are having good times under President Tait's and live policies. Why should any one want a change when a change can only mean a change for the worse? Who would return to the bread-line and soup-house period which we suffered under Cleveland, the last Democrat to occupy the White House? We wish this era of plenty to continue the black man and the white man will unite and keep William Howard Tait at the head of our beloved government."
Mr. Phelps paid his respects in unmeasured tone to Theodore Roosevelt and condemned in unmeasured terms his discharge of the unconstituted Negro, soldiers after the Brownsville riot, and said that his recently announced southern policy means the closing of the so-called "door of hope" to the Negroes of the South, to be followed eventually by the same treatment everywhere. He argued that a vote for Wilson means industrial reaction and poverty for the wage-workers of both races and that a vote for Roosevelt was half a vote for the bourbon Democracy, which van not be trusted to handle the interests of the Negro people. Mr. Phelps was frequently applauded.
Dr. Ross Furnishes the "Rousements."
Dr. Ross, always a master of the forum, outshone himself on this occasion. He warmed-up to his subject and furnished some old-fashioned "rootsenents" for the "brother." He was for Taft and the Republicanism of the unadulterated variegation that stand for freedom, equality of citizenship, and the protection of the Negro in the enjoyment of his innitable rights, guaranteed by the Constitution and the laws. He was opposed to the party that accepted rebel brigadiers as its leaders, and which made hatred of the Negro's advancement the cornerstone of its platform.
"The man who asks me or my people to vote the Democratic ticket results me. He impugns the intelligence of my race. He assumes that we have forgotten or never knew anything to the history of the party that tried it level-best to wreck this Union. He places a low estimate upon the manhood of a people who have been sold in bondage by the sponsors of Democracy. As long as the cries of the slaves echo in our ears, as his back is lashed by the cruel whip of the driver; as long as we recall the hay of the blood-hound, searching for us as 'property'; as long as the moan of the mother tries our soul as her babe torn from her boom by the slave system; as long as the jim-crow car, disfranchisement, lynching and segregation remain as the ruling principle of the Democratic party, it is absolutely impossible for any self-repeating Negro to vote for it candidates. It is an insult to expect us to be so unfairful to our highest interests. I believe, with the immortal Frederick Douglass—and his declaration as true today as when it was first uttered a quarter of a century ago—The Republican party is the ship; all else the sea."
"I shall stick to the old ship. I advise and urge all others of my race to do likewise."
Dr. Ross spoke to excellent advantage and was cheered to the echo, as each climax was reached and clinched
Information For Veterans Who Go Home.
Mr. T. Lincoln Townsend, presented as the director of the Republican Bureau of Information, described briefly the work he is doing, at the headquarters, 14th and G Street-Campaign literature is being distributed, and arrangements are being made for the lowest railroad rates for the thousands who will go home to vote. He thought every man who is entitled to a voice in the selection of the next President and the next Congress should so prize the privilege that he will not hesitate to spend a few dollars and travel a few hundred miles to exercise his precious right. A few votes, in numerous instances, will turn

AUDITOR TYLER
Receives a Letter of Thanks From
Secretary Knox.
Several months ago a claim was filed by the heirs of Christian Petersen, a native of Denmark, who had served in the United States Navy, for monies due. As there were a number of heirs, all of whom lived in Denmark, the intricate negotiations looking to the settlement were carried on between the Danish Minister to the United States, Count Molkte, and Mr. Ralph W. Tyler. Auditor for the Navy. After some necessary delay the claim was finally settled by the Auditor for the Navy, allowed and certified to Congress for appropriation. Yet-terday Mr. Tyler was honored with a letter from Secretary of State Knox, notifying him that the Danish Minister had received warrant for the full amount, and adding: "The Minister asks that there be conveyed to you an expression of his best thanks for the courtesy with which you have assisted his Legation in arriving at a settlement in this case." This quite unusual and much appreciated letter from Secretary of State Knox will no doubt be framed and hung on the walls of the Auditor's office as evidence of the efficiency in his office.

Maddened by Census Questions. Serious results followed the taking of the first census in Japan years ago. Observing with approval the work of western countries, the authorities thought it advisable to take statistics of population and for that purpose sent out to all householders notices enjoining them to furnish them with full particulars of their families, age, sex, etc. This step was misconstrued in one of the villages, where suspicion was expressed that Japan was about to be sold or at least some of the people were to be sold to foreigners who were desirious of acquaintance the number of males, etc., before closing the bargain in order to find out what price to pay according to the quantity of blood that would be forthcoming. It was a Japanese belief the foreigners squeezed the blood from all who came into their power. Excited and enraged mobs soon collected and attacked the village offices, and it was some time before order could be restored.—Argonaut.
Mexico's Goat.
To get your goat in Mexico has no meaning other than to lay unlawful hands on the quadruped. The goat is to Mexico what the sheep is to Australia and beef to old England, and more, because it is both meat and drink. The republic of bullfights and bandits could not get along without the humble little animal we have always associated with Harlem back yards and a diet of jin cans. Its flesh sells at 14 cents a pound, Mexican money, and a steaming stew of tender young kid is not to be despised by a hungry man. Every Mexican hotel serves goat meat in some form or other. A fat goat sells for $3 on the hoof, and a lean one brings only $1.50. The tallow sells at 12 cents a pound and is commonly used in place of lard. The skins are worth $1.50 each, and the milk retails at 121/2 cents a quart—New York Press
The Zodiacal Light:
There is a strange light in the heavens appearing after sunset in the late winter and in spring and before sunrise in the autumn, but few persons in our latitudes have ever seen it. In the equatorial regions, however, and in certain parts of the tropics the zodiacal light appears with great spender, and some remarkable views of it were obtained by a French expedition to the interior of the Sahara, undertaken for the purpose of studying the effects of the unclouded sun on the dry air of the desert. The mysterious light, in the form of a vast triangle, rising high in the heavens, appeared nearly three times as bright as the Milky way. Science has not entirely solved the problem of the origin of this light, but it is thought that it is an appendage of the sun.—Harper's Weekly.
Hedgehog as Food.
The hedgehog as food is even more neglected than the frog, yet those who have tasted a properly cooked hedgehog proclaim it the best eating of all our native wild animals. According to Mr. Harwood Brierley, "the hedgehog may be stewed or spitchcooked, toasted or roasted. But it tastes best baked in clay in a wood fire. * * *
As the incrustation comes off it brings also the adhering spines and all the skin, leaving a luxurious little joint complete, emitting an appetizing reminder of anything from hare to young pork. The hedgehog so treated consists of white, sweet, tender flesh, nowise inferior to sucking pig or a spring chicken, the flavor being even more delicate than the savor."—London Chronicle.
A Good Excuse.
After the Duke of Wellington's victorious campaigns the University of Oxford complimented the duke himself and his principal officers by conferring upon them the honorary and not very appropriate degree of doctor of civil laws. At that time the fees were heavy, and one of the distinguished soldiers who had gathered more honor than profit in the wars declined the proffered degree in the following verse:
Oxford, I know you wish me well.
Mermaids.
All the world over there are legends about mermaids. The Chinese tell stories not unlike others about the sea woman of their southern seas. Mankind is taught on the most excellent evidence that a mermaid was captured at Bangor, on the shores of the Belfast lough, in the sixth century, while another caught at Edam in 1403 was carried to Haarlem and kept there for many years.

THE LAST WORD.
Before another issue of The Bee makes its appearance the election will have been held and a decision rendered by the voters as to who will be the next President of these United States. In this contest the white voters see only an economical difference between the three parties, but the Negro voter is confronted both with an economical problem and a racial problem. We have just as much at stake in the economical problems that each party assures it alone is the proper solution as the white voter. In the racial problem we alone are effected. Democratic success means a sweeping out from under us our present foundation of political recognition. It means more. It means, in all probability, permanent destruction of that foundation, for with the unjust adverse sentiment now existing against the race even should the Republican party be restored to power at the end of four years it is improbable that we would recover all we shall have lost under a Democratic administration. When the late B. K. Brice retired from the upper house of Congress it marked the permanent retirement of the race from Congress. Democratic success lost to us every representative, we had in Congress. Will history now repeat itself by our losing the remaining representation we have in the government service? It is safe to answer yes. The national Democratic party is waged by the Southern contingent and that contingent is as firm in its opposition to Negro appointments in the public service as it was before, and immediately after the surrender of Apomattos. Every Negro who has the interest of his race at heart, who would provide hope for his children and his children's children owes it as a duty to himself, his race and his posterity to vote for President Taft next Tuesday. Every Negro who fails to vote for President Taft writes himself down in present and future history as a selfish ingrate and a traitor to his race. Our last word to the Negro voters is, VOTE FOR PRESIDENT TAFT!
CREDQ.
I believe in the Republican party, because it is the best party for all classes of men, asking to be judged not by promises but by performances.
I believe in the Republican party, because it enacted all those wise laws, which have resulted in making the United States the foremost industrial and commercial empire in the earth.
I believe in the Republican party, because it never struck down a black man because he was black—because it lifted up the black race and brought its leaders to honor.
I believe in the Republican party, because the Democratic party does not believe in me.
I believe in the Republican party, because the Democratic party struck me down with "Jim Crow" laws, drove me from the ballot box, and from the jury box. I believe in the Republican party,
I believe in the Republican party, because it gave the black race soldiers, citizens, Senators and foreign ministers. I believe in the Republican party, because it gave the black race free schools. I believe in the Republican party, because the Progressive party violated the war amendments—violated Republican institutions—violated manhood and political decency in drawing the color line in politics. I believe in the Republican party because the Progressive party isled by a man who has proven false to friendship, false to his promises to the people, false to his professions of a life time, and false to a sacred American tradition.
I believe in the Republican party, because it offers its glorious past as a guarantee of its brilliant future—because it offers Taft the statesman and gentleman of dauntless courage to lead in a great national crisis, a fight for good government, against Democratic incapacity and the irrepressible ambitions of a dangerous demagogue.
THE ALLEY PROBLEM
A great deal of discussing is going on at present regarding the unsanitary conditions of alley houses and the excessive rents that are being charged for them. This discussion is justified in a great number of instances and a concerted action on the part of those interested in the civic betterment of the colored race is being adjusted.
the colored race is being adjusted. One way to improve these conditions is to get these people away from living under such unfavorable circumstances, away from the dirt and filth, foul air and congestion of the more densely populated part of town. A great many suburban properties have opened up for colored people in the last decade, and a great many residents have availed themselves of the opportunity to buy land and build homes for themselves and families in these suburbs and convenient to the center of Washington, but heretofore the land sold to colored people has been inferior to that reserved for whites.
Our attention has been directed to a very desirable tract of land now being sub-divided for colored people, and within half an hour's distance from the center of the city; this land lies immediately beyond Bennings, and only about eight minutes walk from the Bennings stop on the Columbia Electric Line. Owing to the elevation of 160 feet above sea land, the land is free from swamp and dampness, eliminating the causes of malaria, tuberculosis and kindred ills, and the air is as pure as at any point in the District.
Realizing that this property can be bought and sanitary houses built for what many people are now paying for rent, this project known as Glendale will be instrumental in relieving a great deal of ill effects of unsanitary alley conditions.
SPEAKERS VS. NEWSPAPERS
From all reports the audiences that have greeted colored campaign speakers have been small. In fact indications point conclusively that the day of the campaign speaker is almost past, and voters are looking to the newspapers for their information on all political questions. The expense attached to sending to a certain point a campaign speaker, together with the cost of getting up the meeting, hall rent and incidentals, is never less than $100, and frequently much in excess of this. When a speaker faces a small audience, such as have greeted most speakers, outside of the principals, in this campaign, it will be readily seen that it would have been a matter of economy, to say nothing of effectiveness, had the newspapers been used exclusively. After a speaker has shot his bolt, dealt with a lot of generalities and effervescent oratory, he or the committee usually impurposes the local newspaper to carry the address as a matter of news, and consequently without pay. As an illustration: Mr. Henry Lincoln Johnson, regarded as a most excellent orator and effective stumper, spoke to an audience in Boston recently of but seventy-five. The expense of sending Mr. Johnson to Boston could not have been less than $25, and the expense of the meeting not less than $75 more. Had that amount been expended with a local newspaper to carry effective campaign matter, doubtless twenty-five people would have been reached for every one Mr. Johnson reached. We only use this Boston affair to illustrate our point. There have been a number of other meetings addressed by other speakers as sparsely attended. The fact is
the colored newspaper can and does reach, every week, fifty people to every one that can be reached by a more effectively. As between the campaign speaker, and reached effectiveness of a colored campaign speaker and a colored newspaper, there is no comparison. It is hard to get colored or white voters to attend political meetings any more. They reason it a loss of time.
FAIRMOUNT HEIGHTS
Just what the intelligent citizens of Fairmount Heights are thinking about by placing at the head of their association an ignorant president. There are too many intelligent and educated men in Fairmount who would reflect credit on the community. What can be the opinion of the more intelligent people; as to their estimate of the more educated class of colored people. A man at the head of any institution or association should be the best product. Citizens in any community are judged by the men who are put forward to lead them. If you put ignorance at the head the body is judged likewise. There are too many highly educated men in Fairmount who would better represent the intelligent class. The introducing speech of the Bull Moose president at the Republican rally was disgusting to say the least. It was a conglomerative African dialect and disconnected sentences. This so-called Bull Moose didn't reflect the sentiment of the people. Why should the people of Fairmount continue to allow ignorance to represent them? Would this president be the proper man to go before the legislative committee at Annapolis? Why certainly' not. The Bee is surprised that such educated and progressive men as Walter Cruse, Dr. Jones, Dr. Carloza, the Silence brothers, ex-President Payne, Lewis and other intelligent men should allow ignorance to represent them.
Citizens of Fairmount, what are you thinking about? You represent an intelligent and educated Negro community. Harris represents a class to which Hoke Smith speaks.
STILL LOYAL
The Editor of The Bee, with assistants—United States Attorneys Mudd and Hawkins—addressed a Republican meeting at Fairmount, Md., last Thursday night. It was no doubt the largest Republican meeting ever held in the county for a number of years. It was demonstrated that two-thirds of the voters present declared their intention to vote the straight Republican ticket. Mr. Mudd's speech was eloquent and logical, and was listened to with much attention. He discussed all live issues, as did Mr. Hawkins. When the Editor called for hand raising, only seven Bull Moose voters could be found, one Negro Democrat, and he was a resident and citizen of this city, and a voteless individual at that. The colored race continues its loyalty to the Republican party; notwithstanding the efforts of the so-called Progressive Republicans to divide his vote. That a few colored men will desert the party is no doubt true, but should the Democratic party come into power, we may expect "Jim Crow" legislation in this city and elsewhere. The Progressive Republican party is composed of disgruntlers and disorganizers there is no doubt. We judge from the great number in this city who have been disappointed in their political ambition.
CYRUS FIELDS ADAMS.
The retirement of Cyrus Fields Adams from the deputy registership of the Treasury Department is no surprise to The Bee. His retirement has been asked by the politicians for some time. Mr. Adams was not popular with the colored people in this country. There are others in the Treasury Department who are no more identified with the colored people than Mr. Adams, namely, the Woods and Green, of Mississippi; Lane, of South Carolina, and Holland, of Ohio. The latter gentleman visits white cafe's and is very seldom seen with his own people. There is no reason that these gentlemen should be retained in office. There are too many colored men in office who have been trying for years to get away from the people. The Bee doesn't care if a man wants to be white, but he should identify himself with the white race, and not seek office, or a promotion in office, on the strength of being a colored man. The white people have no respect for people who endeavor to get away from their own race. Let the so-called white Negro be retired from public office and let him seek his reappointment on his merits.
against Jack Johnson because it is alleged that he persuaded a white girl from her home for immoral purposes. Would it not be wise us to wait and find out who this white girl is and her parents? Should a man be found guilty before he is tried by a jury of his countrymen? Are there not two sides to all questions? The Bee doesn't say that Jack Johnson has been right in his many escapades. His greatest offenses, if you call them so, have been his violations of the speed limit. A few days ago a Negro preacher is alleged to have read a meeting and condemned Johnson in the home of the people. Suppose The Bee published what it has in its possession against this same Negro preacher, the people would have another opinion of him and equally as good opinion of Jack Johnson.
· DR. MARSHALL.
Dr. Charles H. Marshall, the new member, appointed by the Judges, of the Board of Education, has been placed as chairman of two important committees and also a member of several other important committees. The enemies of Captain Oyster stated that he would not appoint a colored member chairman of any committee. This is the first opportunity the Captain has had to place the proper person chairman of a committee. Dr. Marshall is a popular member, and has the confidence and respect of the people. He will look out for the interests of the teachers and the children in our schools. It is about time for our schools to be managed and controlled by a colored superintendent. The Bee will have more to say later on.
FOR NEGRO .DEMOCRATS.
We commend, without comment, the following, recently uttered by Joke Smith, to those Negroes who are supporting the Democratic party:
"The uneducated Negro is a good Negro; he is contented to occupy the natural status of his race, the position of inferiority. The educated and intelligent Negro, who wants to vote, is a disturbing and threatening influence. We don't want him down here; let him go North. I favor, and if elected will urge, with all my power, the elimination of the Negro from politics."
If Wilson wins Negro clerks lose.
"Jim Crow" street cars for Negroes is a promised degredation, if the Democrats win.
Col. Roosevelt does not expect to win. He only hopes to defeat President Taft, and we do not believe he will.
Not a tear was shed, not a regrettful word spoken when Cyrus Field Adams resigned. To hold office for twelve years, as a representative of a race, and then retire unhonored and missing by that race is not a pleasing leaf for memory's book.
The Bee was early in its support of President Taft for the nomination four years ago. It was stanch and true in its support of him in the campaign of four years ago. And it has been equally stanch and true for him this time. And because we believe him to be a friend of the race, and a safe, sane, progressive President for all the people.
Mr. Walter Pinchback's article in the last issue of The Bee, aimed against Colonel Roosevelt, and in defense of the Republican party, was a knock-down argument. Mr. Pinchback has received many congratulations on the clear, forcible and irrefutable manner in which he presented the facts. The article made a strong campaign document. There is not a weak point in it. It began strong and ended stronger.
With Harry C. Smith, editor of the Cleveland Gazette, and Mrs. Ida Wells-Barnett, editor of the Chicago Fellowship Herald, supporting Taft, we might as well make the Negro vote 'unanimous. — Cambridge (Mass.) Advocate.
The Bee agrees to the above. As for Harry C. Smith and his Cleveland Gazette, they have been doing yeoman service for President Taft and the Republican ticket.
OUR SCHOOLS.
What does it mean that so many of our schools are being closed and no normal school graduates are being appointed? What encouragement is there for our girls and boys to graduate if their schools are to be closed against them? An investigation in existing conditions must be looked into.
PublicMen And Things
(By the Sage of the Potomac)
Here's a bit of news that would be an interesting entry in the grace-of-diction and mental-development contest, by come la belle correspondente de Testime Christian Recorder: Mrs. Quality had a quiet little bridge party the other afternoon. Three tables only, and auction bridge, fascinating as Monte Carlo, without anything more at stake than enjoyment and five cents a point. So all was gain that was not loss. It might be said a loss of time and some might say a wicked one, but then there are opinions and opinions. Bridge, like chess, requires thought, and that's what Galileo, Franklin and Morse had to have and Edison and Tesla and others. Any bridge is enjoyable, and this game was especially so, for Mrs. Quality is the acme of recherche hostesses, and it is quietly rumored in the circle that composed the three tables of auction bridge on this delightful social occasion, that the hostess, on counting up the cost of the simple menu she served, was just fourteen dollars and eighty-five cents ahead, when the game was completed, and the other ladies, who contributed to her exchequer, are wondering how they will explain to their hobbies what became of the pocket change that was given them, to buy provender from the corner grocery on which the family was to subsist for nearly a week.
Now speaking about these members of Washington's dulce-hue Four Hundred indulging in a wee bit of bridge whist at five cents a point, reminds me that this sporting blood is not a monopoly with their hubbies. I sort of have a hunch that if Prof. Jesse Lawson, who is president of the Bible College, an institution so vast that no roof could cover it, and no four walls could contain it, heard of it he would load his faculty in a wagon and drive up in front of several very-nearmansions and exhort the daintily gowned ladies to come forth and contribute of their tainted money, tainted with auction bridge, to his Bible College. It is said that after the game had been put in the "Historical Memories of Exclusive Society" one of the fair players, who lost $3.15, approached the hostess for a loan of a street car ticket to reach her press-brick front domicile. And that another appealingly asked for a loan of fifty cents to get a loaf of bread, a half dozen near-fresh eggs, and a bit of over ripe bacon for the next morning's breakfast. Now all this happened, and Major Sylvester didn't hear of it, and Captain Doyle, although it was in his precinct, has not been tipped off to the fact yet. But why can't the ladies play bridge whist if they want to, so long as some of their hubbies play the ponies? It comes directly under the privileges permitted to suffragi-ts.
I overheard one of the deacons in a certain church handing out a few lines of cuss words the other day, and I was reminded of what Rev. Norman said to me on a certain memorable occasion: "Just as soon as a man starts to swearing he stops thinking." Now as you all know, Rev. Norman insists on the highest morals for everybody. That's one of his weak points. He admits he has others because although he was made in the image of his Maker, he is yet a man. Now referring to this paralysis of the think tank, when a fellow begins showing out swear words with all the abandonment of a Sioux chief swinging his tomahawk, some time just stop and notice. I shalt endeavor to explain it, and yet there must be some psychological explanation for it, as for instance, just as soon as the devil gets into the brain and scrambles it up, so it can't think, a fellow begins to swear. I can stand for a woman playing auction bridge: laying a few simolonon a ten-to-one shot racer, hitting up a Black and White high-ball, but there are two things most of us men draw a line on, even in a woman suffragette, and that's swearing and smoking coffin nails. If long-suffering wives want to head off the habit of their patron saints, who are supposed to earn a living for the family, of swearing on the least provocation, and smoking cigarettes without provocation, all they need to do is to buy a few boxes of Moguls, and when hubble returns from work let him find you, in oriental splendor, reclining on the couch pulling on a coffin nail with all the energy Bud Gaskin's auto climbs a hill, and when that lusty lord demonstrates hand him out a line of swear words that would make Governor Pinchback revise his vocabulary, and I will two-bits against a cancelled postage stamp hubble will sign a pledge to never more smoke dope and never more stop thinking in order to cuss. Dr. Williston, who usually has a parallel for every case outside of medical jurisprudence, told me once of a case where a husband was cured of the habit of bringing home a half pint of whiskey every day, to drink in solitude as a solace, by his wife who went with him one better and got a quart of drug store whiskey (and that is usually the quickest route to the absent-minded under-ground station), every day and drank copiously of it. Both now, according to Doc Williston's word, although I ain't betting on it, are amen-corner members of the Holy-Roller's pontifical mass association. Now Doc told me this bit of romance back in 1901. He may have forgotten it now, and just as likely he has, for Doc runs his machine so fast he hasn't time to make a memory reservoir of his headpiece. But getting back to that auction bridge party, it was a bird. All present were birds, and secretly, way down in my system where the result of my appetite is located. I sort of feel like handing the ladies a bunch of asparagus for being game enough to play for five cents a point. In the not dim future we may hear of a few roulet parties, a few poker soirees, and a few faro luncheons arranged for the edification of the real swell set who are possessed with about ninety-five per cent of enu. If the ladies will only popularize these prehistoric pastimes I know a few generous-handed
gentlemen who will be willing to attend a party every evening immediately after digger. You know whist has got to be awfully dull, and gossiping so frequently Decomes menotous because most of the friends we want to talk about are present, and sewing parties is a too puritanical mode of entertaining to rehabilitate the tired nerves of the tin de siecle maid and matron in chocolate bozzenger colored society. Most of the ladios complain that they can't get the gentlemen to attend social functions any more. All I need to do is just to whisper that an auction bridge party, a faro dinner or a pisser luncheon will bring out all the more persuasion population, and there will be a scramble for invitations. We have just got to have some new diversions. Dancing is too strenuous for the opaque-hued gentlemen whose legs have supported them for more than fifty years. Judge Terrell is about the last of the old guard who assays to dance, and Judge is all crippled up the next day after the ball. Link Brown, although a daisy dancer, doesn't have a hankering for it any more, and Doc Freeman would just as soon renounce dancing to enjoy one of these newer diversions. Of course, if Wilson is elected there won't be any money in circulation so the Four Hundred will have to forego the delightful diversion of an auction bridge whist setting at five cents a point. Now don't breathe a word of this to any one outside of your immediate circle. It was told me in confidence, and I gave my solemn promise, a habit here in this berg, not to ever mention the incident even to so exclusive a fellow as Bob Douglas.

THE NEGRO LOYAL TO GRAND
OLD PARTY.
(Continued from page 1.)
the scale from one party to another. Mr. Townsend urged the colored voters to stand for civic righteousness and put its best men forward whenever the chance to make a choice presented itself. He said the Negro race suffered largely in the esteem of its best friends because it sometimes allowed scalawags to go to the front and misrepresent its ideals and impulses. He wants the best types of the white and the black races to speak for each, and he is anxious for all to give the Taft administration a vote of confidence—an invitation to stay four years more in the White House and assure the national a continuance of the peace and plenty that we enjoy today.
During the present week Dr. Corrothers and the National Civil and Political League are holding a series of meetings covering the District and points in Maryland, with outposts in New Jersey, West Virginia, Delaware and Pennsylvania.
The League is making a whirlwind finish of a most remarkable campaign and much effective missionary work is being done.
The Negro Is Doing His Full Duty,
"The Negro has done his full duty to his party this year," remarked Dr. Corrothers-to your correspondent last night. "We have worked under circumstances that have tried our patience and loyalty, but we have stuck to our colors and deserve to have victory perched upon our banners. President Taft should be re-elected, and I believe he will be. If he should not win, it can not be said that loyal black Republicans are responsible for the failure."
THAT JOINT DEBATE.
Cadet's Armory Crowded—Dr. Corrothers and Attorney John F. Collins Win in Debate—Brakesup in a Bedlam—All for Taft.
The joint debate that was inaugurated by the local Bull Moose party in this city came off last Tuesday night at the Cadet's Armory. There were fully two hundred local statesmen pre-ent.
Attorney Richard R. Horner and Rev. L. C. Moore spoke for Mr. Wilson.
Rev. S. L. Corrothers and Attorney John F. Collins spoke for President Taft.
Messrs. Plummer and Burstine spoke for Roosevelt.
Judge E. M. Hewlett became angry and refused to speak for any one. Dr. Corrothers delivered a most eloquent, and logical speech for President Taft. Attorney Collins was frequently interrupted by a disturber in the hall, and turning to the man, Mr. Collins said to him, "just such Negroes as you are the cause of us being where we are today. You are of no good to yourself or any party, but a disgrace to the Negro race." Attorney Collins' speech caused the meeting to adjourn in bedlam. No attempt was made to indorse either Wilson or Roosevelt, but the Taft supporters were in the majority. One speaker said that the Taft people were well dressed and more gentlemanly looking, and they were in the majority, while the few Wilson and Roosevelt hooters looked as if they were hungry and seedy.

exactly separated. They extend not
only over the boils, but the bead, thizh
and legs and even over the ears an!

tour of the different forms that they
exhibit the entire figure In the mos!

black and white. In the male thes

of us sometimes fall. A certain actor

evening when be was to play Othello
in the tragedy of that name that he
forgot to blacken bis hands nnd rushed
2p the stage with them white and hls

Blgcled, and poor Othello, when be
Tealized the cause of the mirth, was
almost uvable to proceed with his
part gnd so deeply mortified that when
he made his exit after his first scene
be declared that he could not Snish
the performance, but a bappy thought
struck him. He procured a pair of
flesh colored gloves, blackened bis
hands, put the-gloves on and walked
quietly on again. There was quite a
Uttle tittering as the Moor went on
with bis ines, but it entirely subsided
ag during a speech of one of the other

“Nevertheless.” she sald between stl-

And Indeed he had never seen any

‘The large American cat known as the

fact leads to no little confusion in the
minds of young students of natural

Decause In shape and size it strongly
resembles thls fleree carnivore of the
old world, It also received the name
catamount, which was shortened down
from cat of the mountain. The red-

specimens suggested the name red tl-
ger, while In certain places it was giv-
en the more majestic name of moun-
tain Ilon. In South America one of the
natire names was cuguacuara, but we
have very sensibly knocked off four

water supply occurred tn a long, nar-

was a thin plate of gnelss, separated
by a cavity from the main rock mass

ENDEAVOR MEETING.
Report of Missionary Visitors—President Coleman's Interesting Talk.
A large and appreciative audience was present Sunday last at the C. E. services of the Third Baptist Church The Sunday being Missionary Day, the topic was somewhat changed to allow those of the Endeavor who have recently visited the South and other sections of the country, to tell some of their experiences and impressions of their trip.
The meeting opened with Coronation, sung by all: Rev. J. H. Lee followed with devotional exercises, selections by the C. E. chorus. The following members of the church and C. E. spoke: Trustee George Duff told of the many strange and wonderful sights he had witnessed in company with the late Admiral Roht. Evans, especially in China, Japan and Russia, vividly describing the Fire Worship of the Japanese, the visit to Siberia and the trip to Norway.
President Jas. H. Coleman told of his recent trip to the South, especially the visit to Tuskegee, Saturday, September 10 last. In telling of the great expanse of the grounds, the extra large commodious and substantially built buildings, with the great workshops for our youth, many expressions of approval were heard in the large audience to the inhouement of the work of Booker T. Washington.
Mrs. Louise T. Holmes had the pleasure to visit Jackson, Miss. In a brief and interesting story she rehearsed many of the places of interest she visited while there, the many churches and edifices of learning, and the Negro in business. She closed by stating that to her agreeable surprise there were but very few loafers among our people as she could see.
Mrs. Mary Douglass, the head of the Ladies' Department of the Odd Fellows in the District, recited some of the many sights to be seen in Atlanta, Ga. also the churches with their interesting congregations and pastors. She complimented the Negroes of Atlanta for the many business projects, especially in insurance, automobile hiring, livery stables and last but not the least the great six story office building being erected in Atlanta at a cost of one hundred thousand dollars. Her remarks were liberally amplified.
Ex-President Clarence W. Lewis, in his own interesting way, gave the audience a glimpse of the great institution of Tuskegee as he saw it. In telling of the immense dining hall, girl's dormitory, magnificent chapel, grand assembly room, up-to-date bake shop and cooking department, sanitary creamery, library, postoffice, heating and electric light plant, the agricultural building with its laboratory for experiments fully equipped, the audience became dazed with the magnitude of the institution, and many thanks were given the speaker for his elaborate and minute description of the little he was able to see while at the institute—about live and a half hours.
Rev. David L. Cosby, of Providence, R. I. spoke.
Mrs. Harriet Lee, the pastor's wife, was also a recent visitor to Columbia, Ga. and while there where she states the colored people are making rapid progress in education and business, before returning she also visited Tuskegee, Ma. and fully corroborated the former speakers in the laudation of the work of Prof. Washington. She stated her visit covered three days at the institute, and she was unable to see it all in that time. A feature of the program was the C.E. chorus of the society recently organized, with twenty-five voices. Their rendition of Parks "Come Unto Me." "Awake My Soul" and "They That Sow in Tears" was heartily applauded by the audience. A special number of the pro-
gram was the singing by the chorus of Paul Lawrence Dunbar's words to the "Tuskegee" song arranged by the handmaster. It scored a decided hit. The organization has Mr. Luke Reynolds as leader and Mr. A. D. Gilmore assistant, and will no doubt be heard in the different churches this season in the several concerts they propose to render.
Vice President Rebecca J. Gray introduced the speakers.
On next Sunday Rev. M. W. Clair, pastor of the Asbury A. M. Church will lead in the discussion of the C. E. topic. "Zeal." One of the Christian Virtues.
All are invited to attend. 6 to 7 P. M.

Church November 11, in one of her marvelous song recitals, and musical demonstrations, has just contributed free of charge two weeks' lessons for the Social Settlement at 16 L Street Southwest. The 19th and 26th of October Madame Hackley met the class in music at the Settlement, saw the work of the milk station where numbers of babies are provided daily with nourishing milk, and actually followed some of the babies to their homes, showing great interest in the sanitary conditions and cleanliness of their environment.
October 19 was the opening of the music course at the Settlement which we hope to see extended in developing the rich posibilities of musical culture among many who have not had the means of paying high prices for music lessons. Mme. Hackley shows her generosity in giving free to all what has cost her hundreds of dollars under finest European masters to acquire. She also proves her faith in the capacities of the race for the highest artistic development. In a few cogent principles and illustrations she gives the embodiment of a system in deep breathing and correct use of the muscles in singing, talking, standing, walking and even thinking which, if followed out will transform the worst screechers into the round full tones of culture and refinement.
Mr. Aimas and Miss Europe, of the high school, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Douglas, and Mrs. Gabriel Pellham are among those who will give service in the musical department of the Settlement this winter. This is a rare opportunity and should be appreciated by the entire community.

WHAT OFFICEHOLDERS
Will Do, If the Administration Changes.
Much speculation has been indulged in as to what the colored officeholders will do, in case of a change in the administration. The one best bet is that: Wm. H. Lewis, Assistant Attorney General, will return to Boston and enter into a most lucrative law practice. J. C. Napier, Register of the Treasury, will return to Nashville and resume his banking business. Cyrus Field Adams will return to Chicago and resume active management of his newspaper. Whitfield McKinlay will give all his attention to the real estate business, in which he was engaged prior to his appointment. Ralph W. Tyler will head a syndicate that will purchase and control several leading colored newspapers in six of the principal cities.
James A. Cobb will resume practice of law in this city, his experience as an assistant district attorney giving him prestige.
Henry Lincoln Johnson will return to Atlanta, Ga., and resume a lucrative law practice.
Mr. Strickland, the new assistant register of the Treasury, will again take up school teaching.
Chas A. Cottrill will locate in Hondulu and become a sugar planter.
Dr. Furni-s, Minister to Haiti, will go to Brazil and take up the practice of Medicine.
Dr Crum will return to this country and resume the practice of medicine.
Tuberculosis Sunday.
Tuberculosis Sunday was celebrated by the Christian Endeavor Society of the Fifteenth Street Presbyterian Church at its meeting last Sunday. A paper upon the subject was read by Miss Annie Hurley. The reader gave a graphic description of what various anti-tuberculosis societies are doing towards educating the multitude into preventative methods which will eradicate the white vampire from our communities.
The meeting was lead by the Chairman of the Lookout Committee, Mrs. M. P. Heath. A special prayer was offered by Rev. McCary for the speedy recovery of the president of the society, Miss Edith Sawoy, who recently underwent a serious and painful operation of the car, and who is at present confined to her bed at Freedman's Hospital.
The Endeavor chair under the leadership of Mr. Rattley, is proving a worthy addition to the Sunday meetings.
Mrs. Washington.
Pittsburg, Pa., Oct. 29. By her pleasing personality Mrs. Booker T. Washington won her way into the hearts of four hundred people that heard her lecture last Thursday evening at Trinity Congregational Church. A delegation of ladies, consisting of Mrs. L. S. Lee, Mrs. C. W. Posey, Mrs. A. G. Gautt, Mrs. M. E. Poote and Mrs. Frank Watson, assorted Mrs. Washington to the Carnegie Institute and to the Carnegie technical schools, where she was received and shown through the buildings and the greatest attention was paid her by the deans of the several departments. This was Mrs. Washington's first visit to the Iron City, and she departed from the city with the pleasantest impressions of people of Pittsburgh.
Harmony Cemetery.
The gate lodge, one of several contemplated general improvements at Harmony Cemetery, was completed last week, and was, by the builders, turned over to Mr. John H. Cook, superintendent and secretary of Harmony Cemetery. The building was designed by Mr. Julius Ahel, of Philadelphia, and was constructed under the supervision of Mr. Appleton P. Clark, one of Washington's best architects. The building is unique in design, and in every respect a modern one. It contains living rooms for the family of Assistant Superintendent Shorter, and in addition office accommodation for transaction of official business. The office is provided with a security vault, and will be furnished entirely with new and up-to-date furniture and conveniences for prompt transaction of business. The building will be lighted by electricity and gas, and have telephone connections. The building will be heated by a large furnace in the basement. In the basement there is also lavatory and toilet accommodation.
In connection with the above improvement contract, has been awarded to a local contractor for a change in the carriage way, which will avoid the high grade now existing. To do this the carriage way will be moved about 100 feet west from the present one, and a well graded road built, passing in front of the lodge and coming out above the crest of the present road. The contract also provides for concrete foot walks to the office and general improvements of the ground from the lodge entrance to the crest before mentioned. The completion of this building will do, away with the old frame building used as an office, and in its place it is proposed to erect a neat brick tool house for use of men employed on the place. Plans are being drawn for a new vault to be erected in the near future. The chapel is to be overhauled and made more artistic and comfortable. It is proposed to give better and more seating capacity, also to perpetuate the memory of the grand men who conceived the idea of organizing the cemetery by having placed memorial windows in the chapel bearing their names. Survey of the ground has been made and general road improvement will be taken up at an early day. It is the intention of the directors to go as far as the funds will permit, to make the cemetery second to none in Washington. The officers are Henry Johnson, president; Edward G. Brooks, vice president; John H. Cook, superintendent, Secretary-Treasurer; Charles Shorter, assistant superintendent. Directors: John H. Simons, Sr., Charles H. Shorter, Sr., John H. Simons, Jr., Ralph Cook, Stanton Wormley, Fred Cook, Leccount Cook and Louis H. Cornish, Jr.
PEGG AND OBEE IN CONFLICT.
Two Men Engage in Forensic Battle Before Audience—Discuss Political Doctrine—Pros and Cons of Campaign Argument With Particular Reference to Colored Race Explained in Detail.
(The Bee, Omaha, Nebr., Oct 9)
John Grant Pegg, G. Wade Oblee, M. F. Singleton, Bob Johnson, A. M. Herald, and Rev. W. F. Botts had a regular political pot-feast at Petersen's hall last night before a crowded house of their fellow colored citizens.
John Grant, the militant city sealer of weights and measures, urged his fellow townsmen to stand by the Republican party and G. Wade, who has been studying law and learning debating, said Pegg's advice was all hoss
To prove his statement Obee read from a speech made by President Taft, saying the President's statement was an awful whack at the enfranchised colored man, but the speaker failed to stop in the middle of the sentence, and before he had finished the statement had proved the President a friend of the honest Negro everywhere.
Singleton and Bob Johnson led the applause. They represented the editorial staff of the Progressive Age, of which Obee is editor-in-chief. The crowd was good natured and usually followed the leaders of the handclapping, but John Grant in his closing remarks turned the whole house un-
side down and left them howling in applause.
Rev. Mr. Botts prayed that the audience might get some information out of the speakers and Herald opened the meeting with an exhortation to keep calm and listen to the voice of reason.
Makes the Wool Fly.
Pegg and Obee reviewed the ro- and fall of ancient empires and trace the history of the Republican party. Then they lit into the issue and t' way the wool did fly! Charges and countercharges, personalities and plumb logical talk obtained for three and a half hours.
Pegg pointed out that Theodore Roo-evelt had only pretended al along that he was the friend of the along that he was the friend of the colored man, and his final action in barring the Negroes of the South from his convention snatched the veil from his face.
"With him this is the idea: 'All Negroes down South down, and all Negroes up North up.'"
Pegg then reviewed the appoint-ments of Negroes to high office made by President Taft, while Roo-evelt had turned the "Brownsville Negroes out without injury or trial."
"What do you want to change to this new party for?" he asked, turning to Obee. "Do you want to bring back the hard times of 73 or the panics of Roosevelt's administration?
"I remember when I first came here, when Coxey's army was march-undertaker in Council Bluffs, was trying to pawn your caskets for street car fare to Omaha.
"Some of you fellows think you are leaders; you think you have got mighty smart and then you kick out of the party and try to make a big noise."
Obee Enters Denial.
Obee said it wasn't so and that Pegg was the real leader, but there were other leaders who saw a bright light and wanted to follow it. He said the Republican party never had anything for the Negro, the emancipation proclamation and the enfranchisement of the colored men being simply a stall, since the Republicans would have to do it anyway in time. He said the North would have been cleaned up in the civil war if the slaves had not been freed when they were. Each speaker was given five minutes rebuttal, which was the change J. G. had been waiting for and the way he went after the opposition was a source of everlasting delight, to the audience. Even Bob Johnson couldn't stir up any applause when Obee rose to reply.
After the arguments were all over Pegg and Obee shook hands and resumed their broken friendship. Obee was a cavalryman in the Ninth regiment during the Spanish-American war, and Roosevelt gave his company a banquet, since which occasion he has been the colonel's unswerving friend.
MRS. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON
Received a Royal Reception in Pittsburg, Pa.
(From Pittsburgh, Pa. Leader, Oct. 25.)
Trinity Congregational Church,
Center Avenue, was well filled with an
appreciative audience last evening to
listen to a lecture on "The Progress
of the Colored Women," by Mrs.
Booker T. Washington, of Tuskegee,
Ala., president of the National Federation
of Colored Women's Clubs.
Mrs. Washington prefaced her talk with a response to the welcome addresses made by Mrs. Rebecca Mdridge on behalf of the colored women's clubs of Penn-ylvania; William M. Randolph, assi-tant city solicitor, who represented Mayor Magee, and Mrs. Bolling, in behalf of the colored women of Pittsburgh. During her response she spoke on the suffrage question.
Mrs. Washington thinks men do not understand what women's clubs mean and see them only as they see men's clubs, which are very different. Men's clubs generally mean good times: women's clubs mean work. Men have a perverted idea of the club when they think its only aim is to take the wife away from her home.
She urged her fellow club women to keep the club in close touch with her husband and to discourage all that had a smack of mystery about it. Let the club life be simple and practical. A great many, she said, do not think club work is helpful. It is, however she declared, and should make a woman feel her duties to her church and home more.
In part she said: "Much has been said about emotional feelings. Let me say right here. I hope the time will never come when we become so refined that we will be bereft of love, sympathy and emotional feelings. The clubs are to aid us to love each other better. The club life encourages all to finish education and join hand in hand with school teachers, who are, in large numbers, club women, who feel that they can make better progress if they can belong to organizations of this kind.
"It has been said that education unifies women for practical things. Quite the contrary is true. The especial interest of the club women is to learn to work. You know there is a big difference between working and being worked. What the club woman wants to see to is that some useful thing is taught. Scientific training is the keynote to education. Our women insist upon domestic training in the schools. It means nothing more or less than a general uplift wherever our women are making progress.
"A great work is being done all over the country in big sister movements, reformatories, juvenile work and mothers' meetings, where motherhood is discussed and the dignity of motherhood is made beautiful to the mind of young womanhood.
"I want to explain this big sister movement, which means uplift. An older woman helps a younger woman over the rough, hard places in life and helps her to make a broadminded, useful woman.
"I am most anxious that the work in the North will be carried on in a sympathetic way. I believe every
