IF IT'S NEWS, IT'S IN THE BEE, FOR THE BEE IS A NEWSPAPER. THE BEE WASHINGTON Washington's Best and Leading Negro Newspaper-That's THE BEE VOL. XXXIV, NO. 3 WASHINGTON, D. C., SATURDAY, JUNE 21, 1913 FLAG DAY EXERCISES The Douglass School Holds Exercises. June 14th was Flag Day at the Douglass School. One of the most sensible and eloquent speeches delivered was by Mr. Charles E. Lane, who spoke as follows: I have the honor to have been selected, by the proper officers of the Grand Army of the Republic, Department of the Potomac, as the representative of that patriotic organization, to address you on this occasion of your observance of the 136th anniversary of the adoption of the American flag. You are familiar with the original design of this our national ensign, which had its birth amid the terrible and bloody struggles for liberty of the valiant American revolutionists, and was adopted by a resolution passed by the Continental Congress June 14, 1777. This flag is emblematic of liberty, freedom of thought, freedom of speech and freedom of action—bounded only by the golden rule. It was under this flag that the United States became the asylum of the oppressed of all races from every nationality of the world. It was under this flag that our great and glorious union was preserved and slavery abolished. It was under this flag that this our country has become the greatest nation on earth. We American Negroes have as much at stake on and under this flag as any race or class of people on the American soil. Independent of and apart from our nativity, our right to life, liberty and protection in the pursuit of happiness is attested by hundreds of teeming deeds of valor and patriotism and scores of examples of decent citizenship. Pedro Alonzo, a Negro, accompanied Christopher Columbus on his first voyage to this continent. The life of Christus Attuck, a Negro, was freely given at the very threshold of the Revolution as part payment of the enormous cost of blood spilled for the liberty which every American enjoys today. He did not fight for liberty of the white, black, red, brown or yellow race, but liberty for the human race. through Divine Providence. Aesop, the fableist, and Epictetus, one of the greatest philosophers of his day, were slaves who lived to become freemen. Aesop gave to the world lessons, each with a moral, which have lived two thousand years beyond the memory of his master, and Epictetus to posterity, philosophy, wisdom and splendid truths which have amazed the intellect of modern times. These men refused to submit to their lot in life, but rebelled against it—not in arms nor with complaints, but by throwing out to their times and to future times the light of superior intellect and superior moral force, and they live today in the great galaxy of immortals. If these bondmen attained to the heights I have just illustrated, to what dazzling heights may not we freemen reach by the aid of that great beacon light—American liberty. But, it will be observed, liberty, like education, is but a tool and, as some of you understand, everything depends upon the workman who uses it. Liberty is fatal or life giving, according to the uses made of it. Each man has an inner consciousness that every other man is entitled to the same measure of liberty that he himself enjoys, and until he learns to act promptly and freely in accordance with the dictates of that inner consciousness, he is not worthy of the rights of a freeman. But when he shall have bowed and worshipped at the shrine of the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man and learned the lesson of voluntary submission to the equal rights of others, he is then capable of the full enjoyment of that liberty suggested, by the Declaration of Independence and guaranteed by our National Constitution. This flag is typical of the law of liberty The man who has not attained to governing himself is unfit to live under that law, and yet many of us do not understand even the first principles of that all-important law Liberty is respect. Liberty is obedience to the promptings of unsealed conscience, then liberty should not be proscribed but venerated and disseminated and all men made capable and worthy of it. And now we come to patriotism, the staff of the American flag and the cornerstone of liberty. "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal." Abraham The two hundred thousand Negro soldiers of the Civil War, under this flag that we honor and revere, the anniversary of the adoption of which we commemorate on the returning 14th day of every June, fought and bled and many of them died to protect this flag and give her more glory, to preserve the union of all the states and perpetuate this Republic in which all of its citizens, of whatever race or color, might henceforth and forever breathe liberty at every breath and feel it at every pulsation of the heart in every fibre of their being. Our Colored volunteers and soldiers of the regular army acquitted themselves nobly during our war with Spain. And you may rest assured that the safe and sane American citizen is now depending upon it that these deeds of bravery will be repeated by us in defense of our country whenever the opportunity presents itself. During the last half century we have produced a galaxy of eminent leaders whose achievements have expanded, strengthened, and fortified public opinion favorable to our cause—the deeds of Frederick Douglas, James B. Dudley, and Booker T. Washington being the most conspicuous, and, it may be said, productive of the best results. Thousands of the rank and file of our people have striven and are yet striving to emulate the exemplary deeds and accomplishments of these great men as evidenced by our progress in religion, education, business and industrial pursuits. These splendid examples of soldierly and civic endeavor and progress place us in the front rank of eligibles for the protection of our government under this our flag. Our status as loyal, patriotic citizens, as disclosed by history, is so enviable that we must at all hazards maintain our record, uphold unfurled our banner—the American flag—and cling closer and closer to our birthright—American citizenship. "Breathes there a man with soul so dead, Who ne'er to himself hath said, 'This is my own, my native land?' The fact that some of our parents were subjected to involuntary servitude is the more reason why we should fully acquaint ourselves with the liberty that has come to us Lincoln, our great and grand patron of liberty, said of that phrase: "This is the electric cord in the Declaration of Independence that links the hearts of patriotic and liberty-loving men together." With this thought in mind the love of country, devotion to the land that bore us, will continue to press upon us as paramount to every secular notion in its claims on head, hand and heart. The idea I wish to convey is better illustrated by the more comprehensive words of Cicero: "Dear are parents, dear are children, dear are friends and relations; but all affections to all men are embraced in country alone." A true patriot will subject himself to the governing authority, the power that controls the destiny of his country and obey the laws of his land as long as they remain in force. This entails a hard duty where the government is correct and a majority of the people un-Christian, perverse and insatiable. In such circumstances one should do his utmost to spread the gospel of the Prince of Peace, which is above patriotism as intimated in these words of William Everett: "Love your country, honor her, live for her, and, if necessary die for her; but remember that whatever you would call right or wrong in another country is right and wrong for her and you, and that right and truth and love to man and allegiance to God are above all patriotism." We have many problems before us and their solution requires an abundance of wisdom, judgment and tact. You may be able to assist materially in the solution of these problems if you have applied yourself to the teachings of this school as did Saul of Tarsus to the instructions of the great Hebrew perceptor, Gamaliel. I earnestly hope that you have advanced far enough in the scale of progression to realize just where we stand in this our American Republic with respect to our citizenship rights. Our national laws make no discrimination in the rights, of its citizens, but we cannot hope to enjoy the full fruition of these rights unless we cherish our liberty, honor our flag, and are filled with patiotjec zeal serviceable to our country. Young men and women, boys and girls; in so far as you are void of patriotism, lacking in devotion to your country and its flag, or allow any other race to surpass you in these essential elements of American citizenship—to the same extent you will miss the mark of your high calling and disappoint your parents and teachers. I would that all men were like me with respect to race feeling. I have no race pride, except esteem for the human race and I have absolutely no race prejudice. Prejudice of any kind is born of ignorance and its ravages can only be checked or dispelled by much wisdom and investigation. We should strive to enlighten the few ignorant, deluded degenerates who feign intolerance of our presence on the face of the earth and, as Booker Washington says, are endeavoring to keep us down in order to show their superiority by comparison. These people are much more in need of the missionary and the gospel of Christ than of our resentment and retaliation. We should be charitable with them and not permit them to interfere in any way with our duty to society and the civil authority. By our conduct we shall conquer, we have not the power, and we do not need to repel our traducers; but by our deportment, commonly called behavior, we can enlist in our cause scores of strong Christian white men who will marshal thousands to our rescue. With this powerful assistance back of our endeavor we will be able to silence and put to shame our enemies in every quarter of this Republic. In one of his noted sermons preached thirty-five years ago, Rev Crummell said: "When you are M. B. REV. S. L. CORROTHERS Returned to Galbraith Church pleading for natural rights, when men are endeavoring to throw off the yoke of oppression, you may indeed imitate the action of the tiger, stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood." But a war against gross public sentiment, a contest with prejudice and repulsion, is a thing of a different kind and calls for a warfare of an opposite character. You cannot destroy caste with a ten-pounder! You cannot sweep away prejudice with a park of artillery! * * * So it seems to me the greatest of all duties to get rid of all delusions upon this subject, and to learn to look at it in the light of hard, serious, long-continued, painful, plodding work," and I believe that Dr. Crummell was right and that we may profit immeasurably by following his advice. Our race has filled a great mission. It has felled the forests of our great Southland, built her railroads, constructed her water powers, made her fields blessom with the cotton and yield the riches of the corn, rice, tobacco and other products of her soil. It has planted and garnered harvests that surpassed those of the great valley of the Nile. It has carried its burden with a stout heart and willing hands—with faith in God and an abiding faith in a better destiny. It has taken its place among the proudest and freest people of the earth. When emancipation was proclaimed by the patron saint of freedom our fathers stood bewildered. When they were reinvested with the liberty of their father, granted citizenship, franchise and fullest equality before the law, they received these rights with trembling hands and began a new marche through a wilderness of suffering, tears and anxiety, with no pillar of cloud to lead them by day nor pillar of fire to light them by night. The advancement of the race has been marvelous, indeed, in all of the walks of life. Let us not believe that we have accomplished the half that can be done or that no task lies before us. Let me urge you, my young friends, again and again to live worthy or these blessings, worthy of all the glorious deeds of our race, worthy of all the blood which crimson the stripes under the light which radiates from the stars amid the true blue of our flag. WOMAN'S BAPTIST Missionary—Mrs. Walker's Good Works, National Ideal Benefit Sosociety—Dr. J. N. Vaughn Commits Suicide. Special to The Bee. Richmond, Va., June 16—The thirteenth annual session of the Woman's Baptist Missionary and Educational Association of Virginia was held in the First Baptist Church, the Rev. Dr. W. T. Johnson, pastor, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of this week. There were present about four hundred delegates, representatives of the best element of womanhood in the State, working for the higher Christian education of the race. Mrs. Margaret R. Johnson, of Richmond, is the president of the association and presided over the deliberations of the body. The Virginia State Federation of Colored Women's Club will meet in the sixth annual session in Portsmouth, Va., June 25 to 27. Richmond will send a large delegation to the meeting. One of the most important subjects which will come before the convention will be the establishment of the industrial home for wayward colored girls. This question came before the federation at the meeting held in Hampton in June of last year. Special to The Bee. Since that time the work of establishment has taken on tangible form. A tract of 143 acres has been purchased in Hanover County, a short distance from Richmond at a cost of $5,000. One thousand dollars of the purchased price has been paid and the federation purposes to raise the remaining four thousand dollars at the meeting to be held next week. To this end leagues have been organized in all sections of the State to raise this money. In Richmond, headed by Mrs. Maggie L. Walker and Mrs. Ora B. Stokes and other active workers, a determined effort is being put forward to raise a thousand dollars to help complete the payment. Public spirited white citizens have guaranteed the raising of funds sufficient to erect suitable buildings to have the school in full operation the coming fall. The institution has been chartered under the title, "Virginia Industrial Home, School for Wayward Colored Girls." The Board of Incorporators number nineteen white and nine colored prominent citizens of Virginia. This movement has the endorsement and the promised support of State and city officials, the churches and the masses of the people, white and colored. With the school on a working basis the coming winter, the incorporators will appear before the Legislature next January and will ask for an annual appropriation from the State. The National Ideal Benefit Society, the new fraternal organization launched in Richmond about eleven months ago with A. W. Holmes as supreme master, is making wonderful strides. Recently the lodge held large meetings in two of the largest Baptist churches of the city. The result was seven new lodges and several hundred new members. In the eleven months of the existence thirty lodges have been organized in Richmond alone. Supreme Master Holmes recently made a trip to several of the large cities of the North, where lodges have been organized, and he reports the work in those sections as progressing, with many new lodges in contemplation between now and the first Tuesday in September, when the first annual session will be held in this city. Organizations like the Supreme Lodge, the St. Lukes and others, which have met every obligation up to date promptly, paying sick and death claims, are doing much to strengthen the Negro's confidence in his own organization. At the recent commencement of Virginia Union University, the degree of bachelor of arts was conferred upon seven young men, James M. Bracy, Messrs. John E. Briggs, Jas. Hugo Johnston, Jr., Chandler Owens, C. M. Steward, and Henry B. Taliaferro, Virginia, and Luscious L. McGee, Tennessee. Upon James A. Bates, of South Carolina, was conferred the degree of bachelor of divinity. The degree of bachelor of theology was conferred upon Richard H. Bowe, of Alabama; Adolphua Hobbs, Richmond; John Paul Rier, Paramaribo, Guinea, and John E. Wright, Norfolk. The honorary degree of doctor of divinity was conferred upon the Rev. J. H. Randolph, Washington, D. C., and the Rev. T. M. Allen, Ashland, Va. Dr. J. N. Vaughan, a prominent physician of South Richmond, committed suicide Sunday, June 15, by shooting himself in the head with a revolver. He was a native of North Carolina and a man of family. He graduated from the Medical Depart- ment of Howard University and was a bachelor of arts of Shaw University. Sunday, June 8.—Williams Lodge No. 11, I. B. P. of Elks, held its sixth anniversary exercises in the Ebenezer Baptist Church at 4 o'clock. District Deputy Edward W. Stephens conducted the devotional exercises and P. E. Ruler, Jas. T. Carter was master of ceremonies. The principal address was delivered by Armond W. Scott, Esq., of Washington, D. C., grand legal adviser of the organization, who spoke on the upward march of a struggling race. The address was a masterpiece of eloquence and logic and was most enthusiastically received by the large audience. After the exercise at the church Mr. Scott was escorted to the Elks' Lodge room, where refreshments were served. The lodge by a unanimous vote endorsed Mr. Scott for grand exalted ruler. The public schools closed today. Mrs. Julia Stephens Thurston, of Cleveland, Ohio, is in the city, visiting her sister, Mrs. William Austin. The marriage of Miss Rosetta Gabbs to Oliver Cromwell Arrington were solemnized at the residence of Mrs. J. T. Carpenter, 1302 North First Street, Thursday, June 19, at 7:30 a. m. The bridal party left on the 8:40 train for Washington and Baltimore. Dr. S. L. Corrothers Twelve Years in One Pulpit. Dr. S. L. Corrothers was reappointed by the Board of Bishops as pastor of Galbraith A. M. E. Zion Church for the twelfth year. He preached to a very fine congregation Sunday morning as well as a crowded one. At the close of the service there was one accession to the church. Dr. Daniel Renfro and Dr. Pierre lifted the public collection. At night Rev, Davis, of New York, here attending the New England Baptist Convention, preached a very excellent sermon. There was also one accession at this service to the membership. This being the second Sunday of the month, the Lord's Supper was administered with a large congregation partaking of the same, which showed the renewing of their covenant to their Lord and church for another month. Prof. J. W. Eicherburger, president of Walters' Institute, Warren, Ark., and wife are the guests of Dr. S. L. Corrothers. Prof. Eicherburger, who will sail for The World's Sunday School Convention, Zurich, Switzerland, Saturday, was introduced and made a few remarks about the new vision he hoped to bring back and a deeper sense of responsibility for carrying out the Master's will concerning it. Dr. Geo. L. Clement closed the service by announcing to the congregation that the Board of Bishops had returned Dr. Corrothers to them for another year, which was received with applause loud and long. Dr. Corrothers will preach Sunday morning at 11 o'clock, subject, "Magnetism of the Cross." Public invited. NEGRO BUSINESS MEN HEAR TYLER. Organizer of National Negro Business League Speaks to Members of Local Organization. Ralph W. Tyler, recently elected national organizer of the National Negro Business League, the foremost organization among Negroes in the country, delivered an address before the members of the Birmingham Negro Business League in the parlors of the Standard Social Club, 1717 Third Avenue, last night. About 50 of the Negro business and professional men heard the address, which was the second one the new organizer had delivered since his election by the executive committee of the league. The meeting was presided over by W. B. Driver, president of the Birmingham Negro Business League, who took occasion to call the attention of the speaker to the remarkable progress made by the Negroes in the Birmingham district. Tyler was introduced by E. A. Brown, a local attorney. In his address the national organizer placed emphasis upon the matter of co-operation among Negro business men and declared that where there were three or four persons in the same kind of business, some combination by them should be perfected whereby they could give their customers better service, cheaper prices, and at the same time save in freight, rent and other expenses. "It is now time the Negro was beginning to see that there is strength in union," he declared. "It has taken us some time to develop strong and successful business men. These men who have achieved success as individuals should see to it that the matter of co-operation is tried out sufficiently to give the Negro greater opportunities." He paid a high compliment to the Negro business men of Birmingham, declaring that in his travels he had seen no better showing anywhere. Addresses were made representing the Birmingham branch of the National Negro Business League by W. J. Echols and Dr. W. R. Pettiford. While in the city Tyler was entertained by Dr. U. G. Mason—From the Birmingham Daily-Age-Herald. The Bulgarian government has accepted the terms proposed by Servia. Dr. Friedrich F. Friedmann has sailed for his home in Berlin this week. The decision of the United States Supreme Court against the civil rights of colored Americans is nothing new. The Bubonic plague, has visited Hayti. There have been several deaths. Secretary McAdoo will make no changes in the custom service which was legislated out of existence by the last administration. Dr. A. P. Fardon, one of the most prominent Republicans in the country, died in this city Friday, June 13. A white servant girl, who was arrested for stealing over $700 worth of jewelry from her employers, is set free. Mrs. Holtzman refused to prosecute her. Dr. S. L. Corrothers has been returned to Galbraith A. M. Zion Church. The congregation is jubilant. All school exhibitions are exceptionally fine this year—the Armstrong, Cordoza and others. Prof. Wilkinson at Armstrong and Prof. Newman at the Cordoza. The Negro Business League is having some life infused in it. The blacks and lily whites will be thrown together now since the action of the United States Supreme Court. The closing of the public schools will let loose thousands of school children. Colored excursions have come to a standstill. The Young Men's Protective League is one of the strongest organizations in this city. The friends of W. L. Houston are grooming him for the next member of the Board of Education. Walter Johnson holds the pennant as a pitcher. Attorney Thomas L. Jones is no doubt one of the first criminal lawyers at the local bar. The St. Lukes is becoming to be a strong organization. Mrs. Anderson, the local chief, is becoming very popular. The colored citizens will unite now and push for better days. Edith James A. Ross shifts the responsibility of the Barnes attack on Mr. Offord. Editor Ross knows nothing, he says, derogatory of Mr. Offord. The new Public Printer will take charge as soon as he is confirmed. Mr. Jesse Foster is the most up-to-date advertiser in this city. His place of business is a monument to Eleventh and You Streets Northwest. The You Street boulevard is one of the most fashionable thoroughfares in the city. Colored society reigns supreme. The colored citizens will take some action relative to race segregation. The greatest meeting of the National Negro Business League, it is said, will be held in Philadelphia, Pa. The New England Baptist Association that held its convention this week was the largest that has ever been held by that organization. It is believed that a majority of the members of the Fifteenth Street Presbyterian Church are, opposed to the selling of that church. This church is one of the landmarks in this city. The Bee has entered into its thirty-fourth year of its existence. Mr. C. Maxfield has more books on the colored race than any other colored citizen in this city. He is a book worm. There are from 80,000 to 90,000 colored people in this city and not 200 in business. Harper's Ferry will be opened next Monday morning by Wm. H. Martin. Quite a number will be present at the opening. = ©. 1 — ae Ee Fee 7 wy, 8 a —— 7 Tor 3 ; "|" GANNOT SLEEP ON BED.

The opposition is coming almost sole: ly from the Kuo Mintang, and, while {t seems that they have considerable cause for complaint that republican principles are not being carried out as they should be, they have in a sense spoiled their case by the unrestrained ebullitions of their publicists in-Shang. hal. Proceeding upon constitutional lines, the Kuo Mintang may have compelled a hearing of their claims, but the att!- tude adopted by the newspaper they publish fu English in Shanghal has allenated most foreign sympathy and has rendered it dificult for the leaders to carry on the campaign they {naugu- rated. ‘This newspaper has’ proved fatal to the party.

IMMIGRATION BILL INTRODUCED New Measure Would Hit South. em Europe, OPEN OTHER GATES WIDER, Senator Dillingham Proposes to Re- strict Every Nationality According tc Number Now In Thie Country—Ne Action on Bill This Session. Washington—Senator Dillingham of Vermont has introduced a bill by which he hopes to reduce Immigration from southern and eastern Europe and Asia in a more effective way than war provided In the Dillingham-Burneti bill, which .President. Taft vetoed tp tho closing days of the Inst session. Mr. Dillingham, who was chairman of the committee on fmmigration last ses. sion and ts now its ranking Republican member, has abandoned the Iiteracy test to which Mr. Taft objected and substituted a provision that Immigra. tion from a country in one year should be limited to 10 per cent of the number of natives of that country already dom. Iclled In the United States. ‘This provision would apply to all the world except the western hemlsphere. The census returns show that coun. tries of northern Europe, whose citl- zens are considered particularly desir able as immfgrants, have already such heavy representation in the United States that the 10 per cent limit would largely increase the yearly inflow from most of those countries. On the other hand, Sr. Dillingham quotes figures tc show that the bill would Teduce the immigration of Austro-Hungarians by almost one-third, Greeks one-half, Ital fans one-third, Portuguese one-seventh. European Turks one-half and Asiatic Turks three-eighths. While Mr. Dillingham -edmits that his bill is drafted for the express pur 6 fi wy Pas he y egos. 4 Gg ss Copyright by American Press Association pose of reducing undestrable immigra- tion, he has sought to provide for the Uberal operation of Its provisions. ‘Transient visitors are not counted ip fixing the limit, nor are those allens who return to this country after visit: Ing their homes, nor alfens coming even for the first time if their near telatives are already In America. The professional and business classes are altogether exempt from the provisions of the bill, and the secretary of labor {3 authorized to admit, aliens In ex- cess of the 10 per cent mit for hu- manitarian reasons. “The average annual immigration from Austria-Hungary during the last ten yéars,” sald Mr. Dillingham, “bas been approximately 220,000, but under the bill Immigration from that country would be Hmited to 167,000 annually. at least until the census of 1920 afford- ed a new basis for computation. Im- migration from Italy has averaged 207,000 annually, but future immigra- tion from that country would be lIimit- ed to about 134,500, while Greece would be limited to 10,000 as com- pared with an average of about 20,000 ii recent years. Apparently immigra- tion from Turkey would be cut down about one-half. Of all the principal sources of southern and eastern Eu- ropean immigration Russia alone would seem to be little affected, as under the proposed law 173,500 Immigrants could be admitted from that country annual- ly a8 compared with an average an- nual Immigration of 172,500 during the past ten years. “On the other hand, Germany has furnished an average of 35,000 immi- grants In recent years and under the proposed law could send 230,000. The United Kingdom could send about 258,000, but bas sent an average of 90,000 In the last ten years. In the cases of France, Belgium, Switzerland. the Netherlands and the Scandinavian countries the margin {s not so large. bet it is not believed that the law would in any way ‘affect immigration from such countries.” It is not expected that Mr. Dilling- ham’s bill will recelve consideration at the present session, but he hopes for nonpartisan support for it next winter. {n the meantime he, with other sena- tors who favor it, will work quietly in the Interests of the measure. ~ CANNOT SLEEP ON BED. ‘Twenty Years In Call Unfits Pareied _* Convict For Real Bed.

Developments show that persons have been finding the certificates, mostly of the $20 denomination, for a month and have kept the matter secret. It Is est!- “Mmated that at least $1,000 has been picked up In gutters, vacant tots and back yards. All the money was discovered within a radius of eight blocks of the home of a relative -of Charles Savage at whose house he stopped before his ar- rest. One theory of the investigators ts that the money was concealed in a tree and dislodged by recent high winds. —_—_ Indications That Upper Hayes River Is Rich In Gold. Edmonton, Alberta.—George Gardi- ner of Ottawa 1s in Edmonton outft- ting for a trek’ over the trall of ro- mance to the Upper Hayes river dis- trict to prospect a gold claim located by a man he belleves to have been his uncle on the bank of the Peace river tn 1898, during the rush to the Yukon, when this city was made the starting polnt of the overland tral to the Klon- dike. ‘The story told here by Gardiner ts that during the Klondike rush three prospectors went !nto the Hayes river country, which, except for a small part along the river near Vermilion, {s un- explored. One of the party was found on the river bank a yéar afterward. ‘The man wag emaciated and lived only a few hours, but in his last few min- Btes of Ife told of a Sight with Indians, who killed bis two companions.

Pastor Russell Says Unintentionally We Read Error Into Our Bibles—Our Eyes Were Dimmed by "Dark Ages" Smoke—The Fog Lifts—God's Glory Begins to Appear—The Bible Shines. Its Truth Is the Balm of Gilac. Poor Discouraged Humanity Needs Just Such a God—Shortly He Will Wipe Away All Tears. Pasadena, Cal. June 15. — Pasadena is favored. Pastor Russell was to have spoken today in Los Angeles, but the best auditoriums were unavailable. Instead, he spoke this forenoon at Santa Ana, this afternoon and evening here, giving Friday and PASTOR RUSSELL Saturday to San Diego and Los Angeles. Pastor Russell addressed a thoroughly representative audience. His afternoon topic was, "Beyond the Grave." His evening topic we report. His text was, "God so loved the world that He gave His Only Begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life"—John 3:16. Forcefully the Pastor pointed out that once Christian people, even Bible students, misunderstood this text and read into it a conflicting thought, dishonoring to God—read it as though it said that God so loved the world as to keep them from perishing, in order that the few, the saintly Elect, might attain to glory and look over the battlements of Heaven and see all the remainder—Jews, heathen and the masses of Christendom—writhing in torment to all eternity—unable to perish—forced to live, in order that they might by their sufferings, entertain the more fortunate, who were guaranteed bless to the full. What right did we ever have, said the Pastor, to thus put into the mouth of our Savior, as our creeds have done, words which He never uttered—words which are very untrue—indeed, a blasphemy against the Maker! Light Shines Through the Fog. We are not faulting our forefathers. Had we been in their place, doubtless we would have been as confused as were they, and we might have indulged in heretic burning, etc. And had they lived in our wonderful day of great light, knowledge, privilege, opportunity, education, Bibles, etc., doubtless they would have had as noble ideas as ourselves respecting the proprieties of Christian conduct and Divine conduct and Love and Justice. The Bible tells us that Satan and his fallen angels are responsible for those terrible "doctrines of demons" which have given thinking people such horrible nightmares, and driven so many of them away from God and the Bible into unbelief, agnosticism, and even atheism. Let us rejoice in the light of the better Day which has dawned. Let us become Bible students in the highest sense of the term. Never before has there been such an opportunity for knowing the real teaching of God's Book—what it does contain and what it does not contain. We have the Bible, concordances and helps, and we have the general education which permits us to study them. Our forefathers labored against lack of education, time, lack of Bibles, and lack of good artificial light. What the Word Perish Means. When we come to think of it, the word perish contains not the remotest suggestion of fire or torture. In our ignorance we read all that into the text and into other texts of similar import; for instance, the statement that God is not willing that any should perish, but would that all should come unto Him and live; and the statement of St. Peter that the wilfully ignorant shall perish like brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed; and the statement through the Psalmist, "All the wicked will God destroy." How lurid these simple words became before our inflamed and perverted imaginations? How some of us rang the changes on these Bible terms in a vain attempt to drive men toward God through fear, when God declares that He does not want such to come and has no pleasure whatever in their worship or service. Did not Jesus tell us that the Father seeketh such to worship Him as worship Him in spirit and in truth? (John 4:23.) And our perversions of the Divine Word and Plan only helped men away from God to such misunderstanding of Him that they could not worship Him in spirit and in truth, and, at most, could worship only in form and ceremony. The Pastor told of an experience he had in India. Some of the higher caste Hindoos, wholly unapproachable by the missionaries, heard that he was preaching a more reasonable message. They came, entreating him for further meetings, declaring their respect for the intelligence of Christians, but that they could not believe the doctrines usually preached. They could not be All Saved From Perishing. The simple proposition of the Bible is that as Adam and all of his race legally perished, so they have all been legally redeemed from that perished condition—the death of Jesus being the Satisfaction price. It is because of this redemption that the Bible assures us that there is to be "a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and the unjust," because all were redeemed—redeemed from the perished condition. Hence the Bible lays great stress upon the resurrection of the dead, and, further, it assures us that the resurrection of mankind must walt until the completion of the Church. Then the Second Coming of Christ will be in order, that He may exalt His Church) with Himself as the reigning Power, the Spiritual Seed of Abraham, which God for four thousand years has promised shall be exalted to glory for the very purpose of blessing all the families of the earth—the non-elect. "Them That Sleep In Jesus" Surely no Bible student worthy of the name has overlooked the fact that the Bible everywhere speaks of the dead as asleep—nowhere does it tell about their being in Heavenly glory or purgatorial suffering, or in a hell of torment. Neglect of the Word of God has confused our poor, imperfect judgments. We lost our way in the forge of the Dark Ages, conjured up by Satan in support of his lie. "Ye shall not surely die," and in contradiction of the Lord's Word. "The soul that sinneth it shall die"—Ezekiel 18:4, 20. Now we remember that Jesus plainly said, "No man hath ascended up to Heaven." Now we remember that nelther Lazarus nor any awakened from death had any tales to tell respecting the things seen or heard when dead. Now we remember the particular declaration of God's Word, "The dead know not anything." Now we remember that the Scriptures teach that the dead are asleep—our own unconsciousness every night being an illustration to us, if we had only beeded the Word of God instead of the word of men. Now we see that the death state is called a sleep, because of God's Intention to have a great awakening, or resurrection of the dead. It will come in the morning of the New Dispensation. The One who died for man's sin is to be the great Restorer who will awaken all the sleeping ones. Did He not ill Justrate this at His First Advent and thus show forth the glories of His coming Kingdom? Did He not declare that Jairus' daughter was asleep, and awaken her? And did He not say, "Lazarus sleepeth," and awaken him: Jeve in a God so unjust, so unmerciful, so wicked that He would torment them and their forefathers through all eternity because they did not believe on Jesus, when they had not so much as heard of Him. They said that their gods were not so unjust; for they forbade men to torture even dumb brutes. They preferred to hold on to the reasonable gods of their fathers rather than to believe in the unjust one preached by the missionaries. Can we blame them? asked the Pastor. On the contrary, he admitted that in the past himself and other Christians had seriously misinterpreted the Bible. He urged his hearers to study the Bible itself and to ignore the unreasonable teachings which are driving men away from the Bible and the God which it presents. Pastor Russell found that the heathen do not really worship the idols, but through the idols seek to worship an unseen delity. At first he wondered that they could bow before such hideous, awkward, vicious-looking images. Then the thought came to him, that these poor heathen had formulated their gods of clay, stone, bronze, etc., but that we Christians had formulated ours differently—instead of using material substances we merely constructed ideals and described them, and that from this viewpoint, the creedal pictures of the God of Love are farther astray than the images of stone, wood, etc. Import of the Text. Look critically at our text. Exercise the gray matter of your brains. What does it really say? It corroborates the account in Genesis 2, as explained by St. Paul in Romans 5:12-18. By one man's disobedience sin entered into the world and death as the result of sin, and death passed upon all men, because all men are sinners—by heredity. This death penalty has been carrying down our race to the tomb for six thousand years. The present death rate is about ninety thousand per day. The declaration of the Bible is that these all would have perished—would have had no more future existence than a brute—had it not been for God's compassionate mercy, "The great Love with which 'He loved us' while we were yet sinners." Ephesians 2:4. 5. Our text comes in here, and assures us that this salvation of mankind from perishing comes only through God's Love and Mercy, operating through our Lord Jesus Christ. We ask, What did our Lord Jesus do for the race? The Bible promptly answers, "Christ died for our alns according to the Scriptures"; "Jesus Christ by the grace of God tasted death for every man"; "He poured out His soul unto death"; He made "His soul an offering for sin."—1 'Corinthians 15:3; Hebrews 2:9; Isaiah 53:10, 12. Let us note carefully that as perishing does not mean eternal torture, so the Redemption price which Jesus gave is not eternal torture nor purgatorial suffering, but—death. "Christ died for the ungodly." Other Scriptures tell us that the death of Jesus was a Ransomprice, or price corresponding to the penalty that was upon Father Adam and inherited by his race. The Bible thus explains that God, by providing an equivalent price for the sin-penalty against Adam can be just in releasing us from the death penalty. He did not resurrect any of these. They were merely awakened—and before the time for the general awakening. Hence they fell asleep again. A great awakening Day, however, is near at hand, the Pastor declared. He carried his hearers back to the remote past. He reminded them of the record respecting Abraham, that he slept with his fathers. He asked who the fathers were and where they slept, and replied, that they were heathen. He asked whether they could sleep in Heaven, or whether they could sleep in so warm a place as Purgatory is supposed to be, or in the still more unreasonable hell. He took it for granted, apparently, that his hearers agreed with him that sleep under such conditions would be impossible, and that the only conclusion must be that they slept in death. The Pastor reminded them that similar expressions were used in respect to the good and bad kings and judges and prophets. They were gathered to their fathers, they slept with their fathers. Similarly, when St. Stephen was stoned to death, we read that "he fell on sleep." He cited St. Paul as teaching that all the Church will sleep, except those who are alive at the time of the Second Coming of Jesus: "We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed." He quoted Jesus' words, "All that are in the graves shall hear His [Jesus] voice and shall come forth"—the faithful, the salient, to a resurrection of life—perfection, honor; the remainder of mankind unto a resurrection of trial, testing—1 Corinthians 15:51. Without the death of Jesus, said the Pastor, all of the race would be perished, and only in the resurrection have we any ground whatever for believing in a salvation from death. Only because Christ died is there an opportunity for the Church during this Gospel Age to respond to a "high calling" to the Divine nature. Likewise only through the merit of Christ's death will the world of mankind be saved from perishing and have an opportunity during Messiah's Kingdom to be recovered from sin and death conditions, from ignorance, superstition, etc.—from the tomb. Gradually they will be raised up, up, up, in the image and likeness of God in the flesh, ultimately to enjoy Him forever in a world-wide Paradise, from which will be cut off in the Second Death all wilful evil-doers, all who prefer sin to righteousness, when the Truth shall be made clear to them and when the opportunity will be fully within their grasp. Incidentally, the Pastor mentioned a gross mistranslation of the inspired Word in John 5:20, namely, "resurrection of damnation." The Greek word here, he said, is krisis, and has not in it the slightest suggestion of fire or torture or suffering. The Revised Version renders this verse properly—"a resurrection of judgment." Only "He That Believeth." I am not forgetting, said the speaker, that our text proffers Divine blessings only to believers. Neither am I forgetting that only a few are believers in the Scriptural sense now. Statistics mention four hundred millions of Christians; but, as we all know, this includes practically everybody in Europe and America, with a few in Asia and Africa. It includes many in prisons and insane asylums, penitentiaries, etc., And that leaves three times as many whom we call heathen, who have no knowledge of Christ whatever—twelve hundred`millions. Surely none of these are believers in the sense defined by Jesus and the Apostles. Jesus implies that if any one really believes His Message, his faith will transform his whole life—he would see so great a blessing promised to the faithful follower of Jesus that he would count all other aims and ambitions as loss and dross—and run with patience the race set before him. Only these are believers, and they are comparatively few. They are a fine company. They will get the prize, the "pearl of great price," the Kingdom joint-heelship with the Redeemer in His glory, honor and immortality. But are no others to be blessed? If not, why did Jesus taste death for every man? Does not that expression imply that every man will have some opportunity of profiting by Jesus' death? It surely does! Those who now hear, appreciate, believe, in the Bible sense, alone will have an opportunity for sharing the First Resurrection of the blessed and holy. But the remalder, we are assured, will all come forth from the tomb—to be granted an opportunity then for hearing and believing and gaining an inferior blessing. The blessing now is a spiritual one only; but the blessing to be offered under Messiah's Kingdom will be an earthly one—Restitution, human perfection in an earthly Paradise everlasting. The Bible tells all this, says Pastor Russell. It declares that the god of this world, Satan, is now blinding the minds of all except believers. It equally tells that in God's due time, during Messiah's reign, all the blind eyes will be opened, and all the deaf ears unstopped. (Isaiah 25:5.) Then the whole world will be granted an opportunity of enlightenment respecting the God of Love, and His wise, Just and loving terms of reconciliation, and will be blessed by the great Mediator of the New Covenant. Note how this is explained by the Apostle: God wills to have all men come to a knowledge of the Truth, that they may be saved. To this end He has provided that Jesus shall be the Mediator between Himself and mankind. In harmony with the Father's Plan, Jesus is now selecting the Church class, to be a Royal Priesthood, a Bride class, to share with Him in His Kingdom glory and Mediatorial work for the world. It was to this end that He gave Himself a Ransom for all—to be testified in due time. -1 Timothy 2:4-6. CLIMAX REACHED BY SUFFRAGETTES Acts of English Militants Have Steadily Grown Graver. At First the Campaign Was Regarded as a Mere Joke, but When It Came to Destroying Life and Property It Was Another Matter For Officials to Cope With—Many Serious Outrages. London.—A retrospective review of the performances of the militant suffragettes of England—the "wild women," the "basill bazoukesses," the "brawler squads," as they have been variously called—is startling for the pyramid of offenses, crazy and grave, which they have perpetrated with the idea of securing the vote—an orgy of arson, assault, riot, mischief, self imprisonment, immolation and suffering. The public that first looked upon the "wild women" with grimning tolerance H.P. Photos by American Press Association. EMMELINE PANKHURST AND DAUGHTER CHRISTABEL. have now been aroused against the women as the women have been against the government and its officials. The "bobbies," who used merely to good naturedly "hustle" women about when they came yelling and shrieking in their sieges of parliament, do not hesitate now to ride them-down and trample them, to wrench their arms and wrists and even to club them. Despite all, however, they continue to march and burn and rant and riot with delirious wavings of their banners that announce. "No Votes, No Peace!" Here is a summary of the acts of violence by the suffragettes up to the seizure by the Davison woman of King George's entry while running in the Derby: Rloting.—Eight years' siege of the house of parliament, fighting the police with tooth and nail, with brickbats and bursting bombs of stifling acids; whips and red pepper; pelting them with tiles ripped off the roofs with fire axes; charges of battallons of umbrella lances; jujutsu and skyrockets and Roman candles. Assault—Three times gave Premier Asquith violent shakings, twice horse-whipped Winston Churchill; beat Sir Augustin Birrell, first secretary for Ireland, into unconsciousness in St James' park; struck Lloyd-George in the face with a brass bound box; struck John Redmond with a brick; tortured a man caught in one of their meetings, pinching him and jabbing him with hatpins and stamping on him; threw him out of a window; screamed threats of violence in Queen Mary's ear; hurled "Votes For Women" pamphlets at King George's head; wounded 500 policemen and killed one. Malicious Mischief.-Smashed more than 10,000 windows in London buildings, stores, clubs, newspaper offices, government buildings; destroyed hundreds of thousands of letters by deluging mail boxes with burning acids, paint and refuse; threw acids into poll boxes on election day; ruined $5,000 worth of orchids in Kew gardens; defaced valuable paintings in the Royal academy and Glasgow galleries. Incendiarism.-Tried to burn British museum; burned Royal theater and six fine residences; wrecked Lloyd-George's suburban home; burned building at Eton school; tried to burn track grand stands; tried to blow up three railroad stations; fired famous Nottingham forest. SEEKING KIDD'S TREASURE Inspiration From Fortune Teller Leade Rivers In Quest. Oregon City, Ore.-Declaring that he has received an inspiration from a gypsy fortune teller which will lead him to discover the famous treasure of Captain Kidd, which has been sought for centuries, I. W. Rivers, a prominent Willamette rancher, will start from this city in about two weeks for the Oregon coast. Rivers states that several years ago while he and his wife were visiting at The Oaks they consulted a fortune teller, who told them that they would discover the treasure. She stated that it would be found in a cave in a rock which is a prominent feature of the coast scenery near Nestucca beach. Last year Rivers and his wife went to the beach and found the cave, which is marked by a cross and a horse shoe. Inside the cave, according to the fortune teller, they were to find the fortune at the end of a log. The log was found by Rivers, but he dug at the wrong end of it and so did not get the fortune. This, according to the fortune teller, is just as he would do, for she said he would have to make two trips before he would get the fortune. He is now trying to get capital to finance the scheme. AT 81 WALKS FIVE MILES. Makes Long Trip on Foot to Dance Bunny Hug. White River Junction, Vt.—Although he is eighty-one years old, Dana Burbank of Barnard walked five miles to attend an old folk ball here. Mr. Burbank did not learn to dance until he was seventy-six years old. Now he likes it better than anything else in the world. "I never saw the fango or the bunny bug danced." Mr. Burbank told a reporter, "but old as I am I would like to give them just one whirl. "I don't think there is any harm in dancing or attending dances any more than there is in attending church. I know there is a lot said about dancing, and the idea is that it is immoral, but I don't see it that way. I think there is a lot of enjoyment obtained, and it makes you feel that you are not on the shelf of old age. I love to dance, and I am now realizing what I missed by not learning before. I don't know just what started me." DOCTOR-HELD FOR CRUELTY TO DOGS Girl .Testifies That Machine Was Used to Break Backs. Philadelphia.-Dr. J. E. Sweet, assistant professor of surgical research of the medical department of the University of Pennsylvania, was held in $400 ball for court here by Magistrate Haggerty on a charge made by the Society For the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Cruelty to dogs in the vivisection and experimental laboratories of the university was alleged. Miss Henrietta Ford Ogden, rich, testified that every Friday for six months she had crawled through a hole in a fence so that she could gain entrance to the kennels of the university and obtain evidence. Miss Ogden identified the back breaking machine, which she alleged is used in the laboratories to crush out the lives of dogs. The machine is best described as a diminutive gallows. A heavy iron weight is operated on ropes and pulleys so that it will descend with sufficient force to break the backbone of any animal held beneath it. Magistrate Haggerty at this point said: "We realize the right of the university to perform necessary animal experiments, but there is nothing too severe for a person who would devise or use such an apparatus as this. It is almost incredible to believe that a civilized human being would use an apparatus of this sort. It is an infernal machine." Samuel S. Geyer, formerly in charge of the university kennels, said that the members of the faculty ordered the surgeons to remove all evidences of cruelty to animals when the legislature was acting on the vivisection bill. He declared that after the measure was defeated and after the danger had passed the practices were continued. CORNELL MEN'S EARNINGS. 1,069 Make $184,906, 32 Per Cent of College Expenses. Ithaca, N. Y.—It is found that 1,069 Cornell undergraduates are partially self supporting, and their combined earnings a year amount to $184,906, or $173 per capita, by figures compiled by the Scroll and Spade, an organization of working students. This sum represents 32 per cent of their college expenses, which amounted to $573,794. Only 123 students are earning their room and board. Of individual earnings 380 men made between $100 and $200, 218 between $200 and $300, 51 from $300 to $400, 31 between $400 and $500 and 42 more than $500. At Eighty-four Cuts Third Set of Teeth Brazil, Ind.—Mrs. Caroline McGregor. aged eighty-four, mother of Judge Samuel M. McGregor. is cutting her third set of teeth. Eight teeth of the third set have come out so far ns to prevent her wearing her false set PLANSTO IMPROVE POSTAL SERVICE Reviews Measures Adopted or Contemplated—What Is Being Done With $600,000 Emergency Appropriation—Bettering Railway, Mail and Parcel Service. Washington.—Many improvements in the postal service have been made since Postmaster General Burleson took hold, succeeding Mr. Hitchcock. In a recent statement issued from the postmaster general's office the conditions as they were found when he took hold are reviewed, and plans to meet the emergency which confronts the service are outlined. Among the improvements which have tended to increase the efficiency of the service is the addition of about 1,000 clerks and 500 letter carriers at various offices throughout the country. Approximately $1,000,000 has been authorized for temporary clerk hire and $500,000 for city letter carriers. Such unusual financial demands made it necessary for the postmaster general to go to congress early in May for an emergency appropriation. The sum of $600,000 was granted and an additional $300,000 was appropriated for temporary clerk hire and a like amount for temporary carriers. Mr. Burleson points out that on March 5 there were 2,200 vacant postmasterships of presidential grade and some 300 have become vacant since. There were 4,500 fourth class postmasterships vacant on March 5. These vacancies are being rapidly filled as the result of civil service examinations. Mr. Burleson's statement continues: "Within the last sixty days 488 petitions for rural delivery routes have been disposed of, resulting in the establishment of 203 routes, involving an annual expenditure for maintenance of approximately $100,000. By the establishment of these new routes and the extension of old routes more than A. B. Photo © by American Press Association. POSTMASTER GENERAL BURLESON 200,000 people are now receiving their mail at their doors instead of at remote postoffices. "In pursuance of the policy of expediting the delivery of mail the postmaster general has ordered the discontinuance of the back stamping of all ordinary mail which heretofore has delayed its delivery anywhere from twenty minutes to one-half hour. An investigation of the conditions shows that the slight benefits from back stamping were far outweighed by the advantages that would be gained to the public by its discontinuance and hence the prompt forward step by the department. "The parcel post regulations have been modified so as to permit the delivery to the addresssee, without additional charge, of matter reaching the office of address with improper stamps affixed. "By an arrangement made with the Canadian postal service' the rates of postage on Sunday editions of daily newspapers mailed to subscribers in Canada, who also are subscribers to the week day editions, has been fixed at 1 cent a pound or fraction thereof instead of at 1 cent for four ounces or fraction, as formerly. "Many of the changes which Postmaster General Burleson has put into effect have to do largely with the internal workings of the department, but their effect will be felt throughout the entire service. "A number of experienced officers of the department are now employed in the field studying conditions with a view to recommending remedies wherever defects in methods may be discovered. "It is Postmaster General Burleson's desire and earnest endeavor to establish in the interest of economy and efficiency uniform methods and practices throughout the entire service and to direct postmasters to the best way of administering the postal facilities."

To last week's Collier we are indebted for some very valuable and highly suggestive information touching many of the "ways that are dark" among the demagogues, politicians and leaders of the "poor white trash" in South Carolina, and the apparent hopelessness of the above named class to ever rise or be lifted above a very low grade of civilization. Frank Evans, for more than twenty years superintendent of the Spartanburg city schools and an insistent advocate of compulsory education for nearly thirty years, says that only about one-fifth of the children between the ages of six and fourteen years are receiving the education which is essential to a foundation for a sound scholarship; that above one-fifth do not attend school at all and that of those who do attend, more than one-half stop before they finish the fifth grade. These figures apply to the whole white school population, irrespective of colored children. Of course, it need not be stated that the one-fifth first alluded to represents in the main the children not generally characterized as "poor whites." He says further: "I am speaking of white people. We need not bother about the Negroes. They are eager for schooling and will imitate us. The gravest danger that threatens South Carolina today is the ignorant white man. Some of the worst crimes of recent years have been committed by white people. The most defiant lynching mob that has disgraced the State for a long time was led by a white man, a member of the legislature, an illiterate, who probably thought that it was meritorious conduct. The same legislator has since served on a committee to investigate the affairs of the State University. The votes of white people have put "Colie" Blease into the chair of McDuffie, of Hayne, and of Wade Hampton." From this it is tremendously apparent that the degree of ignorance among the white people of South Carolina is deplorable; that but for the eagerness of the colored people for schooling and the substantial assistance rendered by philanthropists at the North, the situation of the latter race would be even less encouraging, that the supremacy of the "poor white trash" over their more thorough-bred aspiring and law-abiding aristocratic white brothers has operated to foist upon the state of South Carolina the worst, most brutal, rabid, ignorant, and intolerant types of leadership, of which Blease and Tillman are modest expressions; and finally, that South Carolina will continue to be the "hotbed of secession" from all that makes for enlightened government and individual purity until a system of compulsory education embracing moral as well as utilitarian principles and practices is adopted and applied to the masses without regard to race or color and in an equitable manner. UM.CROW.CARS. A fever seems to have struck the Southern cracker. Those backwoodsmen who have no standing at home and neither have they a commendable record for anything, are forced to let their haveseed constituents know that they are doing something in Congress. They are too ignorant to do anything that could advance their country, but anything that will degrade their fellowman, the Southern cracker is at home. The colored American is a part of this government and it is about time WHETHER, WHITHER, THITHER The Senate woman suffrage committee recently reported favorably on the proposed amendment granting women the right of franchise. The amendment suggested is an exact duplicate of the fifteenth with the exception of the words "race, color or previous condition of servitude," for which is substituted the word "sex." The report, in defending the resolution to amend, rehearses the stereotyped and generally accepted arguments of woman suffrage advocates, as often heard ever since Sweden conferred on her women a modest concession of the elective privilege. The report says, among other things, "we do not feel-called upon in this report to discuss (even if indeed, it be debatable) the question as to the equality or inequality of the sexes from an intellectual standpoint. It is or at least ought to be an axiom of American liberty that a class of persons so ready and willing to obey the law as are the women, a class which has a peculiar care for the rights of others; a class liable as it is to be taxed in its labor and property for the support of the government, liable as it is to punishment for acts which the law makes criminal;" and that such persons "should not be denied a voice in the enactment and enforcement of the laws and concerns of the government." Now, all this is good argument, sound doctrine and righteous judgment. Indeed if the question of mental superiority or inferiority of the sexes cuts no important figure manifestly, the women present a stronger claim to the right of self-government than can the men, since if they are admittedly capable of doing as much as men can do, as relates to the functions of civil government, certain it is that they can perform many indispensable things beyond the capabilities of the sterner sex. As the report admits "man looks after the affairs of life, but woman looks after life itself." If a constitutional amendment will insure in all cases the absolute political equality of women, God's grant its immediate adoption. But will it? As we have stated, the proposed amendment is a facsimile of the fifteenth with the necessary elimination of the half dozen words which would be useless in view of the object proposed, although had the fifteenth amendment contained the single word "sex." the objects of both amendments would be legislatively expressed. We hope that this circumstance will not prove a hoodoo. In the case of the fifteenth amendment, in certain sections of this country it is inoperative and openly defied. The states have by proscriptive and prohibitive legislation and the courts by questionable interpretation, practically disfranchised many millions of American citizens, whose political equality has been guaranteed by the Federal constitution. The power of the state seems, in this instance greater than that of the Nation. With all that has been said, and truly, about the nobility of womanhood and all of the truths touching the gross injustice to which women are subjected, and notwithstanding the fact that they "should not be denied a voice in the enactment and enforcement of the laws and concerns of the government," will the amendment if passed be respected to the extent of according all women the right of suffrage in states which have failed and refused to accord such privilege to all men? That is a question. If it can be made, clear that colored women will likely suffer the fate now being experienced by their brethren it becomes a very serious question as to whether it were not better for the race that the men be permitted to suffer and to fight for better conditions alone than to increase race miseries by having our mothers, wives and sisters included in the same political category. As an abstract proposition the question of woman suffrage affords a means of pleasant pastime and intellectual and dialectal display for those to whom the contemplation of harsher, harder, more practical and necessary problems of the race seem irksome, unseemly or unprofitable. With the white citizens the question of women suffrage is a practical, burning, beautiful, readily soluble one. They plant the seeds of truth and justice and they are sure prosperity and happiness. And political equality of the sexes for the whites is only a question of a comparatively short time. So also do the colored people sow seeds of truth and virtue and justice, but growth is interrupted and the harvest alas, too often plundered and destroyed. But, however luring the moral aspects of the case may appear, however "devoutly to be wished" may be the free exercise, by colored women, of political and civil rights, that question is not worth the time it takes to propound it when compared with the infinitely more important and pressing problem as to how the political rights already conferred by the constitution on colored men may be freely exercised in every part of this Union. With the colored race this theme of woman suffrage is purely academic and should be so treated at this time. As a proposition it is almost self-evident, and the only weapon of the intelligent and unbiased opponent is that of temporization, or expediency. But in the light of present social conditions the urgent demand is for "Rights for Colored Men," for in proportion as the rights of the men are acknowledged and judiciously exercised, so must follow those of colored women, so far and no further. It seems folly and madness and arrant flunkyism to waste time and energy in going into cestacies over the mere idea of woman suffrage, while the political rights of the men of the race are ruthlessly and illegally denied. And may we ask just here why was not the resolution offered simply to amend the fifteenth amendment? It would be necessary to add only one word of three paltry letters to have guaranteed the right of all citizens of the United States (male and female) to the elective franchise. Why have two amendments been offered to carry out the one single idea? Manifestly because one may be stricken out and the other left unimpaired. Of course, there may be other reasons less suspicious. But brother it smells of smoke. And our leading men and women would confer a blessing on the present generation, and merit and receive the plaudits and gratitude of generations to come if they would devote more of their wisdom, diplomacy, time, money and eloquence toward storming the strongholds of race prejudice, enlightening and quickening the popular mind and conscience upon race conditions, race needs and aspirations, broadening the horizon of our youth by extending the field of constructive service and securing a cheerful acquiescence in and strict conformity to existing laws declaring the equality of the civil and political rights of all citizens. If, on the contrary, they prefer to chase rainbows and others of wiser and nobler strain cannot be found to displace them, then "the game is up." INDUSTRIAL SAVINGS BANK.

The Bee has always maintained that ninety thousand colored people ought to support three or four papers, as a matter of fact they well support one. The Bee doesn't envy any newspaper venture, but always welcomes a new subject even if it is a corpse. The first declaration a new venture makes is, "We come to fill a long felt want." This prophet correspondent connects himself with this new venture and his first attack is upon the editor of The Bee. Then the "Lord's anointed" puts it and the correspondent out of business. Then he begins to cry, fawn and beg for mercy. Anybody who thinks there is a gold mine in a colored paper should start one and satisfy his ambition. THE VOCATIONAL SCHOOL THE VOCATIONAL SCHOOL The establishment of vocational schools in conjunction with the public schools of this city will no doubt be a benefit to the young colored boy and girl. A visit to the Cardozo vocational school will convince anyone that the education of young colored boys and girls is a step in the right direction. Prof. Newman, the director of this branch of public education, presented a fine exhibition this week of the many branches of industry that is being taught under his direction. The Bee extends its congratulations to him for the excellent showing that he and his very competent and industrious teachers have made during the first year of this worthy branch of public education. WASHINGTON ON LABOR UNIONS. The Atlantic Monthly for June carries a most interesting article, entitled "The Negro and Labor Unions," by Dr. Booker T. Washington. The article reviews the prejudices existing in some unions to the Negro, and the Negro's distrust of labor organizations. It is also illuminated with extracts from letters from a number of white union labor leaders touching the question. The Doctor makes it plain, without rudely accentuating the point, that so long as some labor unions deny the Negro the right to work, unmolested, at his trade, just that long will the Negro shy at labor organizations. The article is intensely interesting, and ought to be read by every Negro. WHY DESPAIR? The citizens of this country, that is, the colored citizens, should not feel disappointed at the recent action of the United States Supreme Court. The civil rights bill was similarly treated, so why should the colored Americans despair? When the United States Supreme Court yields to the sentiments of popular prejudice, going out of its way to strike the colored citizens of the District of Columbia, the colored man will not despair because the poor white man will meet his Waterloo before many moons. DR. CHILDS Dr: C. W. Childs is steadily growing in popular favor with the people. The Bee has every reason to believe that he will make a most valuable and useful member of the board of education. ATTORNEY T. L. JONES If there ever was a young man who deserves the highest commendation of his fellowman it is Attorney Thomas L. Jones. Mr. Jones is no doubt one of the most successful lawyers at the bar. Our General Agent. O. G. Granderson is the general agent and representative of The Bee. Any favors shown him will be appreciated by the management. Mr. Granderson is also the representative in the State of Virginia and elsewhere. HOWARD UNIVERSITY. If what is reported about Howard University be true, why is not a demand made to investigate the institution? Where there is so much smoke, there is some fire. MISS BURROUGHS TO SPEAK.

I dropped into the Howard Monday night, as Andy Thomas was kind enough to give me a pass, and just in front of me sat a couple of society devotees who were pronouncing the benediction on about a dozen women in their set. Did you ever run into women when they were pronouncing the benediction on a lot of wall flowers? You never? Well, you ain't been in Washington long. When these particular two society devotees got through with the women they were talking about they had left a single garment to protect the objects of their gossip. Finally they shifted to the schools, and then they got up on Howard Hill and got to rustling up there among the professors and other brie-a-brac. From what they said I concluded, without aid of a dictaphage, that they were not in love with George Cook. What they said about that bit of five-foot-four essence of activity could not be kept smooth between no two morocco-bound covers. I suspicioned that mbebe husband a few dollars at George's current rate of interest, or he had loaned them and just refused to carry the notes any longer as overdrafts. "He's just running Howard" one of them soft-shell crabbed it. "Yes" muckraked the other, "and every one up there is afraid of death of him just because Old Man Newman will do whatever he wants done." I had heard whisperings around the foot of Howard Hill, and around through the unkempt corridors of Howard that George had been dealt a pat hand by Prexy Newman, and that Prof. Moore had been dealt fours of some sort, but I had never heard it confirmed. These queens of the gossip world were confirming it for me. I don't know what kind of a hand George holds, but I will bump a highball into you if George gets as much as two nearly little pairs he'll bluff Prof. Miller and the rest of the faculty out of the pot, because George is just one more hustling bit of hammered brass that never lets grass vegetate under his feet. As for Prof. Moore, if you dealt him a string of hearts, beginning with the ace and tapering down to the ten spot, you could take a four card flush and run him out into the lake, if you just looked like you had a lot of old junk you was going to dig up on him. Speaking about Prof. Moore, I never could reason it out in the shadow located in my coconut how Prexy Senile-decay ever allowed Prof. Moor's side show confer degrees; that is how he elevated a subordinate to a sort of co-ordinate combination, or something like that. You catch my-meaning. Prof. Moore, though, is one of those purring creatures who will soft-peddle a relic from some prehistorical field into doing what he wants done if you give him time and opportunity. Prof. Kelley Miller used to be the big noise in the College of Arts and Sciences, but now, under the Newman method of dealing. Prof. Moore is just as many as the people. You got to hand, Moore a spoonful of olive oil for one thing, and that is he ain't near as dense as he looks to be. He just naturally knows heans when the bag is open. ** A bunch of cheese-and-cracker-fed statesmen were discussing Horner's recent break in the Board meeting when he hit Dr. Childs through his daughter. One coupe artist said he thought Horner acted in bad taste, since he knew the tomato can had already been hung on to him. Another one said that he would bet a drink out of the old oaken bucket to a 'glass of diplomatic beverage that bad Dr. Childs had the privilege of the floor to reply when Horner got through with his swan song, he would have made Horner look like a Panama coin on the Stock Exchange when English consols had dropped six points. Now you know that means: look like nothing. Of course, I ain't here to criticise my old chum, Richard R. Horner, from Warrenton, Va., cause I reckon he knows his business almost as well as these cheese-and-cracker statesmen. But I am elucidating this point—had I been him and retiring from an office I would have tried to have gone out in a blaze of glory instead of going out in smoke. Instead of hitting a dady by aiming the blow at his daughter, it would have been the gracious thing if Richard R. had just took the trolley line road out to Doc Chiles' house, and said: "Doc, you beat me to that Board of Education job: I was hot on the trail for it, but as the judges thought I was too much of a trouble maker and so canned me and put you on instead. I just come around to congratulate you and say all bets are off and I'm for you." If erected a monument for him somehow he had done this we would have erected a monument for him somewhere in Bloodville, and Armond Scott would have made the unveiling speech. HOWARD UNIVERSITY. Why Not Investigate the Institution —Dissatisfaction Continues to Grow. Washington, D. C., June 6, 1913. To the Editor: For the benefit aike of those who applauded and those who denounced my recent remarks in the Washington Bee in the matter of gross mistreatment of students by the iniquitous clique which now has a strangle hold on the affairs of the Medical Department of Howard University. I ask leave to present the following letter which reached me yesterday. The letter is postmarked Washington, D.C., June 4, 1913, 11:30 P. M., thus showing that even while the Alumni Association was listening to the startling disclosures concerning the Medical School which were the sensation of the meeting of the 4th inst., this letter was speeding its way toward Washington. I have omitted the writer's name and address for reasons which are obvious to those knowing the dirty methods resorted to by some of those herein referred to. It will suffice to say that the writer is now in the senior class of a western college and will graduate in a few days. The letter is as follows: "2 June, 1913. "Mr. J. C. Waters, "Dear Friend, "In looking over a recent copy of the Bee I saw your article in re affairs at Medical School, and want to congratulate you upon the straight-forward manner in which you present the cold facts—facts too well known to an old Howardite who has the interests of all the departments of the University at heart, and facts too bitterly realized by so many of our young men who have been the victims of just such damnable, hellish, malice aforethought treatment. "A copy of this article of yours ought to be sent to and read by every member of that rump faculty. "Glad I was able to get your address, etc., etc., * * * * * * * * * (Signed) X—Y—Z— Thus, Mr. Editor, we have a contribution of wormwood and gall from one who has himself died the death, but who, happily, is now among men who are willing to accord him at least as good treatment as is usually accorded a dog—and that is far more than he could get in the Medical Department of Howard University. Why publish such a letter as the above? Will it not injure the school? The answer is "No, it will not injure the school, for the reason that its publication comes in connection with a movement the ultimate end of which is to clean out the Auguean stables and restore the Medical Department of Howard University to an institution of learning, instead of what it now is, a shambles of 'slaughtered hopes and putridity.' Widowed mothers whose knuckles, beating against the washboard, sound a pacan of hope for the future to be made brighter by the labors of the sons they slave out their days to send here to Howard University, year after year have that pacan $^{\text{S}}$ inverted into a requiem and a dirge as the news reaches them of the slaughter of those sons in the very last moments of their terrific four year course in the Medical School Fathers, some of whom actually wield the pick and shovel in the heat of the day, for less income than a tenderloin "cadet" spends daily for cigarettes alone, year after year find very hearts sinking within them as the dismal news comes to them that the boys, for whom they labored so hard in their efforts to keep here until they can complete their courses in the Medical School at Howard University, have been cut down in the very last moments of the senior year by two or three pedagogic ghouls whose greatest glee is in gloating over the contents of a newly made grave. This sort of thing has been going on in Howard University for years, growing steadily worse year by year. To say that it is a burning shame is to state the case mildly. The men who cause it are too blind to every consideration of decency to resign voluntarily, and those of their associates who could and should combine to force them out of Howard University, sit around like buzzards whose appetites are sated watching other buzzards, whose appetites, are not sated, devour the delicacies of a putrid carcass. The Alumni Association, at last alive to a small portion of its real function, has appointed a committee to inquire into conditions in the Medical Department of Howard University. For this may the Lord be praised. The committee is authorized to gather the facts—FACTS—digest them, and if it be found that there is sufficient ground, the committee is empowered to go to the Board of Trustees and demand, in the name of the sons and daughters of the Alma Mater, that Howard University cleanse itself of the plague which afflicts it in the persons of certain marplots in the faculty of the Medical School. The committee will find plenty to engage its attention. It is to be hoped it will do its work well JAMES C. WATERS, JR. Take up the Cudgel. Washington, D.C., June 15. Editor of The Bee. In view of certain proposed legislation introduced in the National House of Representatives the time is again at hand for the whole Negro race to take up the cudgel in self-defense. All claim to honor, pride and self-respect is sought to be struck from the whole race at one cruel blow, and the blow is too direct for us to fail to resent it, no matter what the cost may be. No man among us should think less of his manhood and honor than he does of a certain position, at a fair salary and good hours, and we should all be ashamed to leave to the inheritance of our posterity the disgrace that we have failed to raise our voice in protest against this outrage, which is sought to be inflicted upon the enviable record the Negro has made in all branches of government employ—both civil and military. There are those among the white race—even in Congress—who are willing to aid us in this struggle, but we must first manifest some disposition to help ourselves. The Negro must take the initiative; lethargy is fatal. "The fear that we may fall in the struggle should not deter us from defending a cause we believe to be just. It shall not deter me." That's the kind of spirit we want to inspire in the heart of every Negro, and with the assistance of your paper we can do it. Let us take this fight to the very halls of Congress, and if necessary demand our constitutional right to be heard in "petition for the redress of grievances." We've got to do it, so let's do it willingly. Respectfully yours. AL. A. ANDREWS, 1453 Corcoran Street Northwest. School Graduation School Graduation.

McCary as pastor of the First Presbyterian Church took place June 22, 1913, at 3 P. M. The Presbytery of Washington, D. C., held an adjourned session here. The services were very impressive and instructive. The outlook for the future development of the church here seems to be bright. The choir, under the leadership of Mrs. Helen B.

Brown, Mr. Jesse Lawson, Dr. Ratley and many friends were out from the city of Washington. The Parent Teachers' meeting was held at the public school house Tuesday night, June 17.

All the churches had lively meetings Sunday. For Second Baptist and Galloway Chapel M. E. Churches it was really "Children's Day"; 3 p. m. at Galloway and 8 p. m. at Second Baptist. Both Sunday Schools used a portion of the morning hour for rehearsals. The program at Galloway M. E. Church was most beautifully and satisfactory rendered to a very full house. The music was conducted by Miss Frances Tinner, while the literary part was conducted by the superintendent, Mrs. Susie Allen. The recitations were well rendered by the children, and the decorations of flowers were tastefully and pleasingly arranged, with a white background at back of stage. "The Flower Garden," which was the title of the Children's Day drill, was performed to perfection, Miss Margie Coats being the centre of attraction and representing June. At this hour Miss Catherine Dent and Miss Julia Murry were transferred from Class No. 3 to the Bible class and Masten Wilbur Fairfax to Class No. 1. The main feature in the program was the baptism of the two youngest children of Mr. Emery Jones, the youngest four months old. The last and best of this program was the collection, which was $15.8t. As all desired to visit the Second Baptist Church and witness the exercises there, this church was closed for the day. At night a large crowd assembled at Second Baptist Church. Everybody was in happy and interested mood. Though the time for rehearsal had been short, Second Baptist did well. Sister Lena Dixon, as director, had trained the children well in their recitations, flag drill and a scene, with song, from "The Ten Virgins." Sister Powell, wife of the pastor, read selections from the 25th chapter of Matthew. The, opening song was thrilling and the music, with violin and organ, delighted all. Prof. G. W. Simmons is always on hand with his violin for the important occasions like this, so that at such times our attending congregations expect violin music. Little Misses Ethel Powell and Hazel Johnson sang well their song. Pastor Powell, Superintendent Lowe, and all who took part in this program, including a neat little speech of encouragement by Mrs. Susie Allen, superintendent of Galloway M. E. Church, aided greatly the spirit of the occasion. The collection was $6. Thus ended a fine day. The funeral of Mr. Frank Hopkins took place at Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church Tuesday, June 17. Rev. Pinkett, pastor. On Thursday, June 12, Mr. Floyd Fitzhugh, a son of Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Fitzhugh, was united in wedlock with Miss Beatrice Boyd, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Boyd, of 2718 O Street, Washington, D.

Chaney, of Washington, D. C., spent Friday in Falls Church visiting friends. Mr. W. Floyd Evans and Miss Annie E. Henderson spent Sunday in Harper's Ferry, W. Va., in honor of her birthday, as the guest of Mrs. Robert E. McDaniels. The afternoon was pleasantly spent visiting the historic places of interest. Miss Mabel P. Williams, of Falls Church, an alumnus of the Manassas Industrial School, has returned to pursue a summer course in that school. A picnic was given on the ball grounds Tuesday, June 17, winding up with a social at night at Odd Fellows' Hall. There was a ball game during the day between the Falls Church boys and a Georgetown team. Falls Church heat by a score of 12 to 5. HALLS HILL Wednesday evening, June 12, Rev. T. H. Brooks preached to Benjamin's Group, Mr. C. W. Chinn, captain, in Galloway's M. E. Church. A good audience was in attendance and gave a fine collection. Music by the choir. Sunday morning the Sunday school was well attended. Much interest is being manifested in the study of the lessons. Children's day was observed at Langley, and this being the regular day there, the teachers and several other members of the school accompanied our pastor, Rev. C. E. Queen, and enjoyed a most excellent program with schools from Chesterbrook and Oddericks Corner, returning home in time to be present to hear a sermon preached to Rheuben's Group, Mrs. Mary Jackson, captain. Mt. Salvation Baptist Church was alive all day Sunday. Preaching, 11 A. M., Sunday School at 2:30. The Sunday School Union met in the afternoon in connection with a beautiful children's day program. The church was filled to overflowing. Mr. Wm. Hungerford, superintendent, and Mrs. Marion Mooney, assistant, with Mr. Thompson from St. John's Church at Arlington, master of ceremonies, managed the exercises with unexcelled deference to themselves and honor to all present. Dr. Sumner Holmes, of Arlington, was present and spoke very brily, endeavoring to urge upon the young men and women the great need of more race pride. However, now and then one will come upon the hill of prosperity and we can see the curtain being lifted. We are pleased to state that Mr. Randall Higgins, one of the few wealthy Negroes of the State of Georgia, on a tour in the East, stopped in Washington for a day and was the guest of Mr. R. H. Smith, friends from childhood, and in company with him, visited this town. Mrs. Charles Onesty, with her two little girls, after visiting her daughters in New York the past 5 weeks, returned home last Friday. VIENNA, VA., NEWS. Sunday was a rally day at the Union Baptist Church. Rev. J. N. Beanan, pastor, preached an eloquent sermon at 11 o'clock. At 3 o'clock Rev. B. J. Askew, accompanied by a large number of his members, was present and preached a soul-stirring sermon. The choir rendered good music. The regular organist, after opening, left for Falls Church to look after children's day exercises there. Mrs. Rosa Lewis then presided at the organ, giving excellent service. The collection amounted to $15.00. After the afternoon rally service the Young People's Society held an interesting meeting. Prof. H. L. Mills led the topic, "Favorite Verses." Rev. J. N. Beaman, Deacon A. W. Miner, Sisters E. C. and Grace Borgus made very interesting remarks on the topic. Mrs. Lulu Burless will lead next Sunday. Miss Beatrice Carter, of Washington, is spending a few days with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Carter, before leaving for Boston, where she will spend the summer. Mr. C. II. Smith, of Washington, made a flying visit to Vienna and visited Mr. A. W. Miner last Friday. Mr. Daniel Burlless may be considered an accomplished cabinet maker. He has recently completed a masterpiece of work in a pulpit for the Union Baptist Church, which is simply a gem in finish and general make-up. Sunday school hour at First Baptist was carried out as usual. We were indeed glad to find Superintendent Neal on hand at the hour and his able corps of officers and teachers assembling. Sorry we could not remain. The Sunday school will attend the Union S. S. services at Merrifield on Sunday, June 22, resuming services on Sunday following at home. Later we will give the names of the officers and teachers of this progressive school. The completion of the porch around the palatial home of Mrs. Marshall Patterson renders that residence an ideal retreat for summer visitors looking for rest and pleasant entertainment. It makes our heart rejoice to see such a commendable spirit of venture and enterprise among the young married element of our race. Mr. and Mrs. Patterson deserve substantial recognition by the people among us who stand for race progress and uplift. Our best wishes to you. HOTEL DALE.

Joseph went in his charlot to Goshen, and there met his father Jacob, whom he had not seen for many years; and Joseph wept. Then came the official presentation of Jacob and his family to Pharoh Joseph was careful that they should make no mistake. He therefore let the king clearly know that their occupation was that of shepherds and herdsmen; for the Egyptians desplised that business, and would keep themselves separate from the Hebrews. Thus the land of Goshen would be almost like a separate country from Egypt. A Jacob at this time was one hundred and thirty years old and quite feeble. Brought into Pharaoh's presence, old and quite feeble. Brought into Pharaoh. Pharaoh's presence. Jacob blessed him, in the sense of asking the Divine-blessing upon him. Thus the family of Jacob, now called by their new name, Israel, became firmly established in Egypt. Jacob lived seventeen years thereafter, during which Joseph and his people, the Israelites, were in favor with Pharaoh and the Egyptians. Our lesson relates especially to God's willingness and ability to make all the experiences of His people work out for their good. This naturally suggests that we inquire in what way Jacob's life experiences were to his welfare. The Scriptures declare, "Jacob have I loved; Esau have I hated [loved less]." God's Love should be distinctly seen manifested in some way, in making all things work for good to Jacob and his family. The question is, How? Can we see how Divine favor operated for the welfare of Jacob and his family? How Did God Bless Israel? Jacob, having become heir of the great Abrahamic Promise "in thy Seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed", straightway seems to have gotten into trouble. He fled from home, leaving everything to Esau. He served his uncle Laban for seven years, that he might have Rachel for his wife. But Providence permitted him to be cheated, and he was obliged to serve seven years more for her. Time and again Laban changed his wages, endeavoring to get the best of him. Thus Jacob was thrown into competition with his uncle, to protect his own interests. Finally, with the fruit of many years' toll, he returned to Canaan, fearful of Esan, whom he placated with a rich present. Later, he lost his wife and was bereft of Joseph, his beloved son. Then came the famine, the recovery of Joseph, and the incidents of today's lesson. Later on, that very move into Egypt appeared to have been disastrous, for the Egyptians enslaved the Israelites. Finally they were delivered, only to have trying experiences in the wilderness for forty years. Then it was a gradual matter to get possession of Canaan. Then they had wars, pestilences, famines, captivities, rebellion, until they were carried away to Babylon. Later on, a few returned. By and by, Jesus came, and was repudiated by all except a few. Then God repudiated the nation. Gradually trouble and anarchy came upon them, until as a nation they went to Hades—nationally they fell asleep. They have been asleep for more than eighteen centuries, while personally they have been persecuted in many nations. To understand how God's blessing was identified with Israel's experiences, we must glance at the experiences of other nations, and then look also into the future. Egypt, Assyria. Philistia and other nations which flourished in Israel's day have either been merged with other peoples or blotted out by natural processes. But Israel exists, even though nationally in Hades, Sheol, awaiting a national awakening and resurrection. That awakening is already arousing dry bones from despair and nourished in israel's day have elther been merged with other peoples or blotted out by natural processes. But Israel exists, even though nationally in Hudes, Sheol, awaiting a national awakening and resurrection. That awakening is already around dry bones from despair, and pointing forward to a future day of blessing and prosperity. The trying experiences of Israel tended also to develop noble characters, strong in faith and loyal to the core. St. Paul enumerates some of these. This selecting process continued down to Jesus' time, and found a glorious company, though small. God found the people He sought. These faithful ones of Israel are the ones for whom all things worked together for good. The time is near, we believe, when these will constitute Messiah's earthly representatives in ruling and blessing all mankind. Throughout the Gospel Age. God has been selecting a Spiritual Israel from amongst all nations. These, too, have had bitter experiences - opposition from Satan, the world and their own flesh. These Spiritual Israelites are heirs with Jesus of the spiritual phase of the Messianic Kingdom. He Congratulates Governor Sulzer. 309 W. 147th St., New York City, June 6, 1913. Editor The Bee. There is great rejoicing here among our people owing to the fact that Gov. Sulzer has signed a bill appropriating $25,000 for the Emancipation Celebration by our people. The commission of nine, appointed by the Governor, all colored, is engaged in arranging a grand exhibit of the arts and sciences of our race, on September next. There will be a grand parade of all organizations and societies on this occasion. It will indeed be a race affair. The money is available and at the disposal of the commission, of which Mr. Robert N. Wood has been appointed by the Governor as chairman. The enclosed editorial from this evening's Daily Mail, as well as the copy of the Civil Rights law, signed, will show you why our people are rejoicing so. The regiment will be mustered into service right away. It speaks well of Governor Sulzer and New York State. Don't you think so? I am yours truly. WM. MURRELL. Colored Soldiers Governor Sulzer has performed a simple duty in signing the bill providing for the organization of a colored militia regiment. The colored people have abundantly demonstrated their right to participate in the public defense. Fifty years ago they were demonstrating that right nobly at Port Hudson and Fort Wagner, where they died in battle for the Union as heroically as any soldiers ever died anywhere on earth. Fifteen years ago they were demonstrating it again at Las Guasimas, El Caney and aSn Juan Hill. As to the usefulness of colored soldiers, we cannot say more and no one could truthfully say less—than Abraham Lincoln said in a letter of August 26, 1863, written after the victories of the summer of that year had given assurance of the triumph of the Union cause. "There will be black men who can remember that, with silent tongue, clenched teeth, steady eye and well-poised bayonet, they have helped mankind to this great consummation." ILLINOIS NEGROES. Organize State Business League. Prepare to Go to Philadelphia On Special Train. Springfield, Ill.—The colored men of Illinois met at this place Friday, May 30, and organized a State Negro Business League. Seventy-Tour prominent Negro business men responded to the call, and each one paid in his joining fee. J. Edward Thompson, grocer of this city, was elected president; John H. Twyman, of Mommouth, vice-president; Edward J. McCoo, second vice-president; Rev. J. D. McCreery, of Metropolis, third vice president; Dr. A. H. Kenniebrew, of Jacksonville, Ill., secretary; G. L. Nelson, of Springfield, transportation agent; A. M. Williams, attorney. Springfield, treasurer, and Rev. Geo. Hoagland, of Monmouth, corresponding secretary. The executive board consists of B. G. Clanton, Decatur; John Twyman, Monmouth; Frank Mallory, Jacksonville; Rev. B. N. Murrell, Peoria, and Thomas Scroggins, Bloomington. The initiative was taken to charter a special train on which to carry the Illinois Negro business men to the annual meeting of the National Negro Business League, which convenes in Philadelphia August 20, 21 and 22. The Illinois State League has already applied for charter from the National League. Nashville, Tenn., June 10.—This city, supposed to be one of the fairest in the South with regard to the treatment of the Negro, is cursed with a "Jim-Crow" system, the like of which is to be found in no other section of the country. The L. & N. Railway is the one railroad to refuse to provide anything approaching decent accommodations for colored people. As no smoking car is provided, both men and women are compelled to ride on the same car; they are compelled to use the same toilets, and in addition to all of this they are required to pay full fare just the same as other passengers for these inadequate accommodations. The train leaving Nashville for Birmingham early each morning is a disgrace not only to this railroad, but to modern civilization as well. GOOD FOR NEW YORK.

COON ADOPTS GUINEAS. Hatched In Kitchen Stove and Kept Warm by Pet. Monessin, Pa.-Smoke, a pet coon belonging to Franklin Sauter, has adopted a brood of young guinea hens that were batched in the oven of Mrs. Sauter's store a few days ago. Local naturalists and woodsmen assert that this is the only instance on record where a coon is known to have overcome his natural instincts to kill all feathered creatures. Several months ago Sauter captured a young coon that had been pulled down and injured by the dogs. It soon became domesticated and became a great pet around the house. Sauter is also a breeder of guinea fowls, which are prone to leave their nests and sit in the fields and woodlands. Missing one several weeks ago, Sauter traced her to the fields and secured ten of her eggs, which were within a day's time of incubation. Not having an incubator, Sauter put the eggs in the oven of his stove, and when they hatched he placed the chicks in a box behind the stove. He was greatly surprised in the morning to find the coon in the box "mothering" them. NO WAGES FOR PORTERS. "Red Tops" on Pennsylvania Must Rely on Tips. Philadelphia.—Some porters in Pennsylvania railroad stations do not get even $1 a month in wages, as Lotterbury Boyd testified that he did when pleading guilty in Pittsburgh of stealing $5 from a woman passenger. The porters in the Pennsylvania railroad stations, or, "red tops," as they are called, are taken from the cleaning gangs. The men in the cleaning gangs get $40 to $45 a month. When more "red tops" are needed the station master goes to the cleaning gangs and says that he needs so many men, and the vacancies are filled by volunteers. At first the "red tops" receive no wage at all. They must live solely on tips. But after they have been in the service for some time they get $20 to $30 monthly. The purpose of the small wage is "to make them hustle," it is said. Parties, Balls, Receptions, Etc. Class style.

Wls.-Thirty-five years ago this spring Register of Deeds Alfred Halverson of St. Croix county, then a young man, became the possessor of his first watch, an open faced silver watch, with a heavy case. Young Halverson valued his new possession so highly that he carried it' with him at all times, even when he was plowing on his uncle's farm. He was heartbroken after plowing a few furrows one morning to find that the watch had slipped from his pocket and had been plowed under. With his cousin, Edward Halverson, he back plowed the furrows, cross plowed them and then combed the earth for hours in search of the precious timepiece, but in vain. Recently while plowing on the Star Prairie farm, Edward Halverson saw the plow turn something metallic out of the ground. He stopped and picked it up and found it was a silver watch. He at once thought of the one his cousin had lost thirty-five years ago, and although the fields had been changed, he discovered this was where he had helped look for the watch years ago. The thick crystal was broken and the hinges were rusted, but he returned the old timepiece to its owner, and a jeweler to whom it was taken for repairs discovered that the works were free from dirt and rust and the adjustment still perfect. A little oil, a new pair of hinges, a new crystal, and the watch when wound started to run as though it had merely run down the night before. TRIES TO KISS THE JUDGE. Mexican Woman Seeks to Embrace California Magistrate. Los Angeles. — When Mrs. Ricardo Rivera, a Mexican woman, offered to kiss Superior Judge Monroe in gratitude for a gift of $2, which brought her and her husband together again, the magistrate blushed and directed an official to lead her from the courtroom. The husband was up on a charge of failure to provide. He promised to be good, and the court discharged him. Rivera informed the magistrate that he did not have sufficient funds to take his wife with him back to his job at Ontario, whereupon Judge Monroe handed him $2. Nine-year-old Hen Earned $56.70.

HAWTHORNE AIDS FELLOW CONVICTS Son of Famous Novelist a Cheerful Prisoner. LIKENS MENTO GREAT BOOKS New Humanity Urged by "Register 4435" In the Atlanta Federal Prison. Calls Fellow Criminals "Brothers" In His Latest Editorial—Refuses to See Callers at the Prison. Atlanta, Ga.—A new philosophy, full of humanity and understanding, has been born to Julian Hawthorne, son of the great novelist, since he became "register 4435," an inmate of the federal penitentiary here. The deepest human element appears in everything he has written for Good Words, the prison paper, and is creating for that journal a unique literary interest. The son of Nathaniel Hawthorne has turned "minister to the heart and conscience" of his fellow convicts. More than in anything else is this new found sentiment set forth in his prison poem, "Fool False," written to the men who night after night tramp ceaselessly back and forth in their eight foot cells. He has come to understand the power that drives them. "Brother, I know," is the refrain of the poem. A recent issue of the paper contains the beginning of a new department of which he will be conductor. He writes, of books, prescribing a model course of reading made up of the choicest literature of all countries and of all time. Reverence for his father is implied in his selection of two books of Nathaniel Hawthorne's, "The Scarlet Letter" and "Our Old Home." But along with his essay on literature he wrote of another subject which has become more interesting to him, he says, since he became an inmate of the prison. "There is another and a greater library," he said in his column. "It is distributed among the ranks in pairs, with a shelf to each volume. Their binding is homogeneous—stout blue cloth on ordinary occasions, which on [Image of a man with a mustache and a suit]. JULIAN HAWTHORNE Sundays and holidays changes to a woolen fabric of darker hue. They bear titles on the front and back. "There is a sprinkling of the poetical element and a good deal of fiction, but each carries a historical and biographical index often illegible-stories of crime mingled with tragedies, or you find a farce or a comedy. "Moreover, these volumes grow, decay and die; chapters are added from time to time, but the tale seldom ends happily. These are the books that God made—not always much to look at, but containing a great deal of human interest if you can get beneath the covers." Hawthorne has shaken hands with "Dutchman, Dago, Yankee, Greek," to use the words of his great prison poem, and he calls them brothers in everything he writes. With his fellow prisoners Hawthorne is all affability, but when visitors come he is, ill and sees no one. His request made to Warden Moyer was that he be not known as Julian Hawthorne, the son of the great novelist and himself a prominent literary man, but merely as "register 4435." A reporter, presenting in writing a request for an interview, received from Hawthorne the following answer: "I must ask you to excuse me. Here I am, as you know, not a name, but a number. If anything I have written for Good Words has done good or has caused interest I am glad, but have nothing to say about it." The new Hawthorne who "knows," the minister to the conscience, is revealed in one paragraph which he wrote for Good Words "Instead of feeding upon angry and revengeful thoughts," he said, "which corrode the heart that generates them, use the occasion to extirpate sinister tendencies and to invite impulses of generosity and good will. Look upon your prison term as an opportunity to repent of the evil in you that men know not of." In an editorial which he wrote for the paper is implied a justification of his own act which brought about his conviction. VERY OLD PAPERS FOUND. Documents Signed by Presidents Jackson, Arthur and Grant. Greeley, Colo. - Valuable papers which have laid in a closet in the courthouse for years apparently forgotten were unearthed the other day by County Clerk J. E. Snook, the very existence of which had been entirely unknown in the past decade. Included in the lot were a number of land patents for which the owners have been invited to call. One was issued to Jeremiah Williams, a corporal in Captain Clum's company in the war of 1812, in exchange for scrip which he got for services. The patent was signed by Andrew Jackson on Oct. 1, 1867. Another was granted to Elizabeth Cochran on Oct. 30, 1874. This patent was issued while U. S. Grant was president of the United States. Land patents were also issued to James Russell and to Samuel Roberts in 1879. President Chester A. Arthur signed the patent granted to Michael Carey, and there is also one for John Benson signed by the same hand. SNAKES OVERRUN HOME. Make Incursions From Family Well Near the Residence. Glendale, In.—The premises of William Horton, near this place, are infested with snakes to such an extent that he and his family are in danger of being driven from their home. The snakes are, a spotted variety of blue racer from two to four feet long. Last summer Mr. Horton had a similar siege and killed nearly a hundred of the reptiles. The chief source of the snakes seems to be the family well, which stands near the back door and from which the family has for many years drawn its water for drinking purposes. The serpents even have entered the house, one big one having been killed there this summer. So offensive became the old family well on account of the swarming reptiles that it became necessary to build a cistern for drinking water. Mr. Horton's little children are kept out of the yard for fear they will be bitten. The slaughter of the snakes goes on daily, but the situation appears to be hopeless. MUTE MONTHS, -GIRL RESUMES TALKING MUTE MONTHS, -GIRL RESUMES TALKING Peculiar Case Brought on by Overstudy at School. St. Louis.-Irene Burnes, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James C. Burnes of Hillyard, who for the last seven and a half months has been confined at the Sacred Heart hospital on account of a most serious and peculiar case of hysteria, which baffled local physicians for several months on account of her refusal to talk, is improving. In about a month she will be able to leave the hospital, at which, time she will be taken for a visit, to Lewiston, Ill. Miss Burnes was at her home for a few hours recently, the first time since Oct. 2, when she was taken, to the hospital. Although she has not entirely recovered her power of speech, she will at times, especially in the mornings when rested, talk for a little while. She understands all said to her, but under no condition can she talk unless she be thoroughly rested. Miss Bailey, her nurse, takes her for a walk each day. Miss Burnes since March has been under the care of Dr. W. T. Phy. The illness was brought on last summer as the result of overstudy at a summer school and following the excitement of the final examinations. BREAKS HIS WOODEN LEG. Jailer Nails It Together So Prisoner Can Go to Workhouse. Pittsburgh.—James Burns, sixty years old, giving his home as Homestead, charged with vagrancy, was sentenced to the workhouse for thirty days by Magistrate Justus Schroedel in the east end police station. Burns has a wooden leg, and while he was in a cell another prisoner fell on the leg and broke it. Burns told one of the turnkeys that his leg was broken, and the officer thought it was a human leg. When he discovered his mistake he took the wooden leg and nailed it together so that Burns was able to get to the workhouse. Free Drinks For Chickens. Kansas City.—A dozen chickens in a coop at the city market were deluged by a broken jug of whisky. As the jug's contents trickled toward the gutter the chickens stuck their heads through the slats of the coop and slipped the 'toror. Soon afterward the roosters began to crow noisily, the pullets flapped their wings, and it was evident all the fowls were drunk. Expected $50,000, Got Nothing. 'Aurora, Ill.—Heirs of Charles Taegee, who died nine years ago, found the key to a safety deposit box which had not been opened for twenty-nine years. In the recess they discovered a will, which deprived them of the $50,000 estate which they had expected to inherit. Taegee left his property to his widow, who died in March, and his relatives will get nothing. L. C. SMITH & BROS. Typewriter The escapement of the L. C. Smith permits the carriage to get away from the last printing point so instantaneously that no speed of operation is too rapid. The hair trigger touch of the ball bearing type bars, a carriage that is never shifted for capitals, a capital shift key requiring only one-third ordinary pressure, a combined one-motion carriage return and line space, which spaces one, two or three lines with the same sweep, and the lightest possible carriage tension—give an ease of operation that makes all day speed easy for the operator. The always rigid carriage, stationary printing point, the arrangement of ribbon shift and back space keys, and the fact that no necessary operation takes the hands from the writing position, combines speed with accuracy in the L.

The Two "Dark Days" There are two "dark days" mentioned in the annals of New England. The first occurred on Oct. 21, 1716, when it suddenly became so dark soon after noon that the people were forced to use artificial lights to do their ordinary work. This strange condition of the atmosphere lasted about three and a half hours. Again, on May 19, 1780, there was a remarkable darkening of the atmosphere, but the phenomenon did not come on so suddenly as that upon the earlier date. The darkness in this latter instance began between 10 and 11 o'clock on the morning of the day named and lasted throughout the day. The darkness extended from the northeastern part of New England westward as far as Albany and southward to Pennsylvania. The most intense and prolonged darkness, however, was confined to Massachusetts, more especially to the seaboard. It is said to have come from the southwest, but there is no mention of it made in the history of Ohio or the Virginias. The exact cause still remains one of the unexplained mysteries. "Warned Off" the Turf. To be "warned off" is the most severe sentence that can be imposed on any one in England connected with the turf. Not only does it debar a man from owning, training or riding horses, but until the committee decides to revoke the punishment prevents him even from showing himself on any race course. This is so owing to the fact that the decision of the national hunt committee is registered automatically by the racing authorities in France and Ireland and of course by the Jockey club. Like the national hunt committee, the stewards of the Jockey club also reserve to themselves the right of summoning any rider whom they suspect of sharp practices or even carelessness to appear before them and, unless the explanation given proved satisfactory, to "suspend" Rivalry In Prayer. Turkish dignitaries comport themselves toward European representatives how otherwise than some of them formerly did. Sir Henry Layard tells an amusing encounter between Charles Allison, then chief interpreter at the British embassy, and the grand vizier, so whom Sir Stratford Canning had sent him on important business. In the middle of a discussion the Turk rose from his seat and said his prayers on a carpet spread by an attendant, concluding with the curse on all Christians very emphatically uttered, and going through the motion of spitting over his right and left shoulders in abhorrence. Allison was equal to the occasion. Presently he, too, left off business to pray in a corner, doing it in Turkish and invoking curses on all followers of Islam. To the scandalized Paasha he explained that Christians also had their religious duties, and he had no doubt the formal curses of their prayers meant as little as the Mohammadani's. WHY not give your lad the same training? "When I was a growing kid, and came upon many words in my reading that I did not understand, my mother, instead of giving me the definition that I applied to her, uniformly sent me to the dictionary to learn it, and in this way I gradually learned many things besides the meaning of the individual word in question—among other things, how to use a dictionary, and the great pleasure and advantage there might be in the use of the dictionary. Afterwards, when I went to the village school, my chief diversion, after lessons were learned and before they were recited, was in taring over the pages of the "Unabridged" of those days. Now the most modern Unabridged—theNEW INTERNATIONAL—gives me a pleasure of the name sort. So far as my knowledge extends, it is at present the best of the one-volume dictionaries, and quite sufficient for all ordinary uses. Even those who possess the splendid dictionaries in several volumes will yet find it a great convenience to have this, which is so compact, so full, and so trustworthy as to leave, in most cases, little to be desired."

SCHOOL OF MUSIC. Prof, Daniels’ School Received An Ovation—Great Display of Musical Talent. On Jast Monday and Tu¢sday even- ings the Daniels’ School of Music held its closing exercises at Truc Re- former Hall, Monday evening being ‘devoted to 2 musicale by the pupils of the elementary grades and Tues- day evening to the graduating exer- cises. This school was,started with only one pupil, about ‘fifteen years ago, and through the‘ untiring efforts of Prof. R. J. Daniels he has now an en- rollment of 125 pupils. At the musicale on Monday even- ing the program consisted of piano selections by the pupils, assisted by two well known vocal soloists—Miss Beatrice Ware and Mr. George E. Battle. A short address was delivered te the pupils by Rev. J. Harvey Ran- dolph, B. D. As an incentive to more closely apply themselyes to study, gold med- als are awarded by Prof. Daniel: _each year to those who attain a cer- tain standard of efficiency. Those who received mgdals this year are: Misses Rachel C. Warren, Eugenera A. Jones, Marie A. Hillery, Dorothy E. Freeman, Jeannette M. Tyler, Master Thomas A. Scott and Mr. George E. Battle, a former pupil. On behalf of the principal, Prof. Dan- icls, the medals were presented by Mrs. Gabrielle Pelham in a few well chosen and appropriate remarks. The very excellent work of the pu- pils who appeared on the program demonstrated very cleverly the splen- did training they have received. On Tuesday evening the program was rendered by the graduates, as- sisted by Dr. C. S, Wermley and Mr. George Battles, soloists, and the Misses Ware in a vocal duet. Those receiving diplomas are: Misses Helena P. Norman, Mary E. Roye, Clyde N. Scott and Ruth E. Norman. The diplomas were pre- sented by Dr, C. H. Magshall. Rev. F. D. Rivers read a very care- fully prepared_, paper on “Music,” which was highly enjoyed by all present. Without consuming time || and space to speak individually of the | playing of those on, the program, it can be said that cach number as to ‘ltechnique was very artistically ren- ‘| dered, and reflected great credit upon ‘| Professor Daniels as a teacher of the -|piano.

Coached by a former pupil of the school, Robert Ford, who held the 1oo-yard record for the clement- ary schools and now a member of the M Street High School, and Cupid, a pupil of the school, the boys of Cook won with 11 points to spare. Birney School proved the sensation of tht day by running second to Cook and displacing Mott School, the victér of last year. Sumner School annexed the heavyweight relay title and cap- tured first in the 12-pound shot-put. Cook won by showing great strength in the field events and by entering a full and well balanced team, while Birney and Mott School proved strong in the track events and the relays. Cook captured first in the’ §0 and 7o-yard dashes, while Lomax of Banneker and Lacy of Mott scored first in the 100 and so-yard dashes. | New records were made as follows: Grey of Cook ran the so-yard dash in 6 4-3 seconds; Lomax of Banneker won the 100 in 10 4-5 seconds; Mott School won the 360-yards relay race in 50 seconds; Patterson School won the 440-yards relay in the 95-pound weight class in 59 2-5 seconds; Birney set new figures to the mark of 55 3-5 seconds in the 115-pound class, 40-yard relay race; while Sumner ran the 8S0-yard relay race in 1 minute and 49 3-5 seconds.

WASHINGTON CONSERVATORY OF .MUSIC_-WORK OF A GREAT AND GROWING INSTITUTION. : Interesting Development: of the Washington Conservatory of Music, the Only School of Music Founded, Conducted and Maintained by Colored People in America. The fourth annual commencement marks an important epoch. Ten years has this art school struggled with lofty ideals to contribute something to the cultural education of the race and to the proper recognition of the pos- sibilitics of the feces talent, music, as found in its beautiful folk songs. Thirty-six certificates have been awarded and two diplomas, representing the entire conservatory -course. The requirements of which are in each two studies with harmony, history, gar training, analysis and methods. The course in methods and practice :Goching have been lengthened. Prac- tice teachers are sent to homes of children. This is considered very im- , portant as the progress of this profession is much retarded by poor teach- ers who are ruining the possibilities of the child and causing the parent to waste money. For the past three years the working force has been inadequate and one of the most important departments has been closed as the expenses would have been from one thousand to fifteen hundred more than the income. Therefore an endowment is necessary before supplying these important needs, as no school can be developed on its tuitions alone.

PEO the |S Nes, Senator Vardaman, of Mississippi. at the next session of Congress, will press for the adoption of a resolu- tion submitting an amendment which will modify-the Fourteenth amend- ment and repeal the Fifteenth amendment. The effect would be to disfranchise-colored voters and leave the question of their status to the States. Senator Vardaman says this ques- tion is more important than the tar- iff, currency or trusts. He declares the preservation of the white race is the all-important problem. Representative J. B. Aswell, o: Louisiana, addressed the Louisiana State Association last night at 905 F Street Northwest and strongly advo: cated the segregation of the races ir the government depattments: > He said in part: “It is folly to try to lift a baby inte efficient manhood without years o growth and training. The Negro i but a baby in civilization, and hi training for many generations t come should be purely industrial an elementary, with special stress o: honesty, virtuc, and sanitation. Ihe right-thinking everywhere have sym- pathy for him in his place, and all race troubles come from the mis- guided and misinformed who don't know their place. “Tam heartily in sympathy with your present demands for segregat- ing the races in all branches of the government. It 2is fair to both, pleasing to the right-thinkjng Negro, and a necessity to the white race. To see a Negro man in the same room. drawing a better salary for the same kind of service, and working side by side with white women, is to me in- tolerable. “You put it down now that when your fight comes on in carnest for Segregation in the service, as it will, I will be on, your side, and will do everything in my poweroto further the cause, I am constantly recciving requests from mail clerks to do some- thing to relieve the situation:.for them, and I say right now that it is absurd for this great government to think of allowing things to run, as they do.” The speaker received loud ap- plause,, and Joseph Colton, vice pres- ident of thé association, expressed the sentiments of himself and those presenit as heartily in accord with the speaker. He said he was of the opinion that “the Negro needs soap more than education,” and that while he has never seen any trouble from Negro men_ in the Goyernment Printing Office, where he is em- ployed, he understands that the Ne. gro women in some of the offices are very offensive. : In Favor of Segregation.

One of them asserted that as Palestine was about in a line with Africa, the peo- ple must all have been colored. “Lor bless you” heart,” said the speaker, “St. Peter an’ St. Paul an’ the rest of the apostles was as white as that north'n gen'l’man ober dere.” “No, sah!” said the man in spposi- tion. “Paul may ha’ been, but St. Peter—no. sah! St. Peter was a cul- ler‘d gen’l’man.” “You're wrong, for if St. Peter’d been culer’d, dat cock wouldn’t ha’ crowed more’n once’t.” You Street Boulevard is becom- ing to be a business street for col- ored citizens.
