Washington Bee

IF IT'S NEWS, IT'S IN THE BEE, FOR THE BEE IS A NEWSPAPER. THE BEE WASHINGTON Washington's Best Library That's THE BEE VOL. XXXIV, NO. 15 WASHINGTON, D. C., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1913 MISS N. BURROUGHS Wins Greatest Ovation That Has Ever Been Accorded Anybody, Elected by Acclamation. Nashville, Tenn, Sept. 25. Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, of Washington, D. C., and president of the National Training School for Women and Girls, received the greatest ovation that has ever been accorded any one. She was the queen of the convention, and re-elected by acclamation president of the Woman's Baptist Convention. In her annual report Miss Burroughs said among other things, the following. "Race Problem. "One of the most important things to be accomplished through this celebration, is to plan a definite program of action for the solution of the biggest and most urgent problems within the race. While we have cause to rejoice over past achievements, we have reason to be solicitous as to the outcome of many problems now confronting the race. If the race is sick, if it is suffering from any malady, we must find out the cause and nature of the disease and apply the remedy. This, to our mind, is the biggest work to be accomplished through this Celebration, and will be the fruit of the Jubilee for which the world is looking. "There is so much to be done for the uplift of the masses, that we are likely to deal in generalities or under the spell of the overwhelming greatness of the problem, there will be a "scatteration" rather than a concentration of effort. The problem within the race is bigger than the problem without. Our whole trouble comes from the fact that we are not united and the success of the enemy comes from the fact that they are united, and are bent on accomplishing one thing—the Negro's undoing—and never lose an opportunity to contribute to that end. "The leadership of the race must lay down all differences and map out a program that can be carried out for the general, moral, physical and industrial salvation of the millions of our people, whose very lives and conduct discredit all that we may do or say in their behalf. The fundamental solution of the problem lies in the establishment by the Negro, of a reputation for morality, respectability and intellectuality, such as put to shame the most fanatic race prejudice. The present program of unreasonable and undemocratic persecution and discrimination, is certainly going to prove most costly to the social structure of this country, and only profitable to Negro politicians, who would sell a part of paradise for pie, and to that class of Southern demagogues, who get elected by stirring up race hatred. "There is a growing spirit among high-minded men and women in the South to give the Negro a chance to prove himself a man. The Southern Sociological Congress, if it lives up to its lofty mission, will settle the question of race relationship and practical co-operation in a few years. We have not felt the force of this new organization as yet, but its influence is going to be felt, and it is our duty to do everything we possibly can to give to the promoters concrete examples of the worthiness of their cause. "There is one thing of which we should always feel proud, and that is that while our friends may not be many, they are the best men and women that America ever produced, and this in itself, is a compliment to the Negro. There must be something in him to justify this kindly interest and generous investment. Then, too, the most illustrious men and women that America has ever produced are the men and women who have openly championed our cause. Abraham Lincoln is the greatest man that America has ever produced, not because he was President of the United States, for twenty-eight men have occupied the same office, but because he championed the cause of humanity and liberty, and signed the document that saved the Union, and set four million bondsmen free. Harriet Beecher Stowe championed our cause and immortalized herself. And the most popular woman who wields the pen at this present time, is Ella Wheeler Wilcox, who pleads the cause of the race that has crawled "out of the wilderness and out of the night." Mary Helm has rendered the women of grace noble service and made for us thousands of friends, and immortalized herself by leading us to a brighter day by the "Upward Path." What We Want and What We Must Have. "First—Well built, sanitary dwellings in which to live, and streets that are paved and kept just as clean as others in the town are kept. "Second—Equal accommodation on common carriers. "Third—Franchise for every Negro—North, South, East and West—who is an intelligent, industrious citizen. "Fourth—Equal treatment in the courts. "Fifth—Equal division of school funds. "Sixth—Lynching stopped. "Seventh—Convict lease systems broken up; better prisons and humane treatment of Negro prisoners. Someone has said that the Negro does not know what he wants. We have set down seven demands, to which every intelligent, self-respecting Négro in America will willingly subscribe, and for which this same class of Negroes are urged to labor. The future of both the race and the South, is bound up in these seven demands. The biggest work of the fair-minded Southern men and women to do, is to Christianize three-fourths of the South and that portion of the North that is fastly becoming Southernized. There is no time for fire eaters, in either race, to speak. It is time for the sane, sensible, high-minded men and women of both sections of our great country, to openly declare themselves for the application of the principles of Christianity in the relation of the race problem. "Declare ye this in Judah, and publish it in Jerusalem, that no government can long endure that is not founded on justice." If our race is sinking, the white race is not rising. We appeal to Southern white women to join us in the crusade against injustice, drink, drugs and vice, and we beg to foster at their firesides a love of justice, respect and protection for every black man and woman." THE VOCATIONAL SCHOOL Opportunity to Learn Trades. September 22. 1913. To the Principals: With a view to making a special and systematic effort to get withdrawn pupils back into school without avoidable delay, I am anxious to get an accurate list of all pupils who in June, 1913, were in the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth grades or in the first and second years in the high schools, but who do not return to school by October 1, 1913.' And so I write to request you to have each of your teachers send me through the usual channels and not later than Monday, October 6, such a list of withdrawn pupils. Each teacher will report for the pupils who comprised her own class in June, 1913. The teacher to whom pupils are promoted is not, of course, technically responsible for such pupils until she has actually received them; hence, I am asking for this report not from the teacher who receives, but from her who sends. For each withdrawn pupil the following items should be specified: Full name Home address Age Sex Grade in June, 1913 Promoted or not Probable cause of withdrawal Remarks The teacher will please use a separate slip of paper or card for each pupil. Very sincerely, BOSCOV C ROSCOE C. BROUCE. P.'S.—It occurs to me that many pupils withdrawn from the graded schools or the secondary may be glad to avail themselves of the opportunities of the vocational schools. The following trades and industries are now offered at the vocational schools: Cardozo (I Street, between Half and First Streets, S. W.)—Millinery, Dressmaking, Cooking, Weaving, Carpentry and Building, Auto Operation and Repair, Brickmasonry, Plastering. O Street (O Street, between North Capitol and First Streets Northwest)—Millinery, Dressmaking, Cooking, Carpentry, Building, and Printing.

D., addressed the convention, "Foundation" Building. Thursday morning at 9:30 the District Convention convened, Rev. W. A. C. Hughes, D. D., presiding. M. W. Clair was unanimously re-elected secretary with Rev. W. J. Tyler assistant. The reports from the various departments of the church work throughout the District indicated marked improvement and progress along all lines. Under the leadership of Dr. Hughes, the District superintendent, gratifying results are expected. Rev. I. L. Thomas, D. D., C. C. Jacobs, D. D., J. O. Spencer, Ph. D., D. D. Turpean and S. N. Brown, D ! President of the National Training School for Women and Girls, of Washington, D. C., received the greatest ovation at the Woman's Baptist Convention at Nashville, Tenn., and re-elected president by acclamation. D., were honored visitors and addressed the conference. Letters were received from Dr. E. S. Williams, former District superintendent, and D. W. Hays, district superintendent of the Baltimore District. C. H. Toulson and Benjamin Gant were recommended to the annual conference for reception on trial. Wm. Dent, Grant Contee, Percy Middleton, Samuel Lee and Mitchell Clarke were licensed to preach. The conference presented the district superintendent a purse of $20.00 as an expression of their appreciation of his services and worth. The next conference will meet at Muirkirk, Md. preciation by tendering him a theatrical testimonial, beginning October 23, and to continue the entire week. The Editor of The Bee will take a personal interest to make the affair a success as an appreciation for what he has done. All Washington will have an opportunity of showing its gratitude to the man who has been liberal and generous to all classes, irrespective of denomination, or anything else. He has given his theater at a low price to worthy enterprises and benevolent institutions, and indeed to all classes. The Bee has every reason to believe that the entire Washington public will turn out. It will have an entire Bethel Literary. Tuesday evening, October 7, this society will open its thirty-third season. The present management is planning to make this one of the most successful openings in the history of the society. Mr. Charles W. Chesnutt, eminent author, whose writings are read by thousands of literary people of this country and England, will deliver an address on this occasion. Subject: "The Negro in Latin America." Mr. Chesnutt can easily be classed with those who have truly made a place among successful literary artists. Those who have read carefully the stories, "The Wife of His Youth," "The Wheels of Progress," "The House Behind the Cedars," and "The Harrow of Tradition," will doubtless agree that he is the best delinctor of Negro life and character, thought and feeling, of any one who has attracted notice by writing. He has been persistent and valiant in all race matters, and has gained his right to a most respectful hearing from all our people. While it would be idle and presumptuous to anticipate here the subjects that will be presented during the ensuing season, yet we are advised that careful and scholarly essays will be presented by distinguished leaders of human progress, and that the entire session will be carried on with the same zeal and energy that led to the institution's past success. It is therefore with confidence that this association appeals to the public for continued and increasing patronage; its claims are entitled to the most favorable consideration. The Bee understands that there is considerable expense incident to the opening meeting, and it is therefore urged the friends to give a substantial silver offering on this occasion. TESTIMONIAL MR. THOMAS. The Citizens of Washington Appreciative—The Greatest Theatrical Event in the History of Howard. Mr. Andrew J. Thomas, manager of the Howard Theater, will be tendered a theatrical testimonial beginning October 23. Mr. Thomas made the Howard Theater a success. He has catered to the tastes of the people and has done everything in his power to make his playhouse a success. He has expended hundreds of dollars to please the people. He has done all in his power to present colored talent to the American people, and especially the citizens of this city. The people desire to show their ap- preciation by tendering him a theatrical testimonial, beginning October 23, and to continue the entire week. The Exor of The Bee will take a personal interest to make the affair a success as an appreciation for what he has done. All Washington will have an opportunity of showing its gratitude to the man who has been liberal and generous to all classes, irrespective of denomination, or anything else. He has given his theater at a low price to worthy enterprises and benevolent institutions, and indeed to all classes. The Bee has every reason to believe that the entire Washington public will turn out. It will have an entire week to show its gratitude to the man who has made it possible for the Washington people to have a decent and respectable theater. STOP!..LOOK!..THINK! Have your and your child thought about that child's future? Do you know that the public schools train boys and girls to learn a trade, which will fit them to earn a livelihood?

Short talks on different phases of education were given by Mrs. A. E. Waddleton. Mrs. Capitolia Smith. Mr. S. Z. C. Westerfield, and Rev. I. N. Ross. The speakers all drew good points which were summarized by the president as follows: The fundamental text-book in school and home should be the Bible; aim at one thing in life at a time; in order to succeed even with the highest education get Christ into your lives; and do unto others as you would have them do unto you. After a few announcements by the president the meeting closed, all feeling that they had been doubly repaid for coming out. A well prepared program is to be rendered on next Sunday evening at 6:30 P.

The people who have purchased lots in Harmony Cemetery have no legal claim to what they have honestly purchased. As it looks today it is a close corporation or a family institution in which the lot owners have no legal rights. There is dissatisfaction manifested and it is the duty of those who have purchased and paid for their lots to be given a deed in fee simple. Not a lot owner in this cemetery has been given a deed. Will the people act? Editor Cook Mr. J. D. Cook, the stalwart editor of the Weekly Defender, one of the greatest papers in the West, is in the city on his way to the New York Negro Emancipation. He is a delegate, appointed by the Governor of his State. Mr. Cook was one of the visitors at The Bee office Wednesday. He also called upon Senators Stevenson and La Follette. He was in company with Rev. A. L. E. Weeks, of the Normal and Industrial Institute, at New Berne, N. C. Rev. Weeks is a wide-awake minister and a man of practical ideas. Daniel Murray. This former citizen of Baltimore, Md., will be given an opportunity to prove his libelous charges that he filed with the House Committee. It was thought that the Gregory case had taught him a lesson. Mr. Murray, you have bitten off more than you can chew, as you will see. The people of this city are able and will defend their schools. Get ready, Dan. Speaks Out Against Bad Treatment of Colored Americans—The Occasion Blazed With Enthusiasm. Nashville, Tennessee, Sept. 20.—In his address here last night before the National Baptist Convention, Dr. Booker T. Washington, of Tuskegee Institute, spoke out more plainly than ever in the matter of the accommodations given Negro people of the South on the various railroad lines of this section. He spoke in Ryman Auditorium, the largest assembly hall in the State, and the audience fairly blazed with enthusiasm. After remarking at some length upon the progress of the Negro people during the past fifty years, he proceeded to say: "We must not only tackle the problems that concern our race as a whole, but we must be equally frank in a polite, kindly way, letting the Southern white man know what our conditions and needs are. He will listen to us. "For example, in a polite, kindly way we should constantly remind the officers in the cities where we live that our people, except in a few cases, are not treated with justice in the matter of lighting the streets or in the conveniences of sewerage and drainage. We should remind the white man everywhere that if he expects us to live a clean, orderly life that we should have better facilities for the education of our children. In one county of the South each white child had spent upon him for his education last year about $21, while each Negro child in that same county had spent upon him for his education about 98 cents. There is no white man in the South who will not acknowledge that such a difference is unjust. "We should, too, with equal frankness and equal politeness, remind those in charge of the railroads of the South that in few cases do our people receive justice or are they treated with common humanity when they travel upon the railroads. We should let the officials know that in many cases our men and women are crowded into filthy cars, poorly ventilated, not large enough, and in many cases one toilet room made to serve both men and women, that we seldom have proper facilities for getting food when traveling on the railroads. We should remind those in charge of the railroads that if they take the same money from our people for railroad tickets that they take from the white people they should have equal treatment on the railroad. If a black man and a white man subscribe for a newspaper or buy a yard of cloth from a white man, the newspaper and the yard of cloth which the Negro receives costs just as much as the newspaper or the yard of cloth sold to the white man, there is no difference in these respects. There should be no difference so far as accommodations are concerned on the railroads. "We should make our appeal to the railroad authorities on the ground of common humanity, on the ground of common justice, and then we should try to convince the people who own and operate the railroads that from a commercial point of view it will pay to treat the Negro with more justice; that there are 9,000,000 black people in the South, a population larger than that of Canada, as I have said, and if these black people are treated in a way to make them feel kindly toward the railroads instead of hating the railroads, it would pay from a commercial point of view because of the increased traffic which 9,000,000 Negroes would furnish to the railroads. "After the railroads have done their part, let us as a race see to it that we do our part in helping keep the railroad coaches and depots clean and comfortable. Say these things directly but in a polite and kindly way to the railroad officials, and everywhere they will listen to our appeals and bring about a changed and improved condition. "We must not content ourselves, however, with occupying a mere negative, complaining attitude No race of mere fault-finders and whinners ever makes much progress. Fundamentally, we must depend upon large constructive work for the progress our race is to make. The leaders of our race must see to it that whenever there is the slightest opportunity for our people, they put themselves in harmony with every great constructive movement that has to do with the progress of the South. Whenever there is a clean-up movement or health movement, whenever there is a county fair, state fair or local fair, our people should do their part to promote its success. We should become willing and ready taxpayers. We should become a part of every law and order movement in the community. The black leaders in our churches should join hands with the white leaders in all that concerns the prosperity and the happiness of all our people here in this great country, and if we sustain this attitude one toward the other we will set the world an example in showing how it is possible for two races different in color, separate in social affairs, to live together on the same soil in peace and friendship." CUBAN POLITICS IN GHAOTIC SHAPE President impli Against Ali the Spoilsmen, ENEMY OF. DEMAGOGUES. POWERS SO UES CONG CAS SNS eSSSs: OTs the Island—Former Presideht Gomez, | Popular With the Masses, Not Ad- - verss to Serving Again—Conditions . Are Summed Up In Nutshell, Havana, Cubs.—Many In close touch with the Ins und outs of Cubun condi- tions, political and commercial, be Meve the republic faces the must serl- ous problem since the American fag was lowered from the natlonal palace. It will require skilled diplomacy, po- lotical craft and a firmuess set un- known In Cuban affairs to bring about a stable solution. It Is generally be- Meved that President Menocal fs stroug enough to tide bis administration oter, but It Is also conceded that he bas*a strenuous proposition on bis bans le ts apparently trying to give an honest and capable administration, op-. posite to what wany politicians and thelr adherents want. The successful politician in Latin America, expecially’ Cuba, 1s he who can provide the most Jobs for Lis con- atituency. Abillty to get jobs Is: a valuable political asset. The average henchman knows but Uttk and cares less about matters of state. fle wants to get on the Kuvernment payroll, and be doesn’t relish any position that re- quires much physical exertion. BrleOy, Cuba qt present faces con- ditions that mlzlit be subdivided {nto fourt parts: First—A chaotle political condition and the attempt of professional politicians and those who crave power to overthrow the influence of and discredit the Menocal ad- ministration. Gecond.—The action of congress in re- fusing to necede to the wishes of the pres- ident aad temper the “immunity clause” of the constitution #o that its members ould not be entirely tmmune from civil courts, ‘Third.—The recent presidential decree that dissolved the Ports Company of Cubs and annulled millions of invested forelgn capital, which may serve to cheapen the commercial integrity of the republic with foreign Investors. Fourth—The recently enacted military retiring law, by which nearly 100 army officers have been retired and which pollt= teal factions have selzed upon for came paisn material to stir up discontent In the army. Cuban polltics probably has not been so thoroughly stirred up and dis- organized since President Taft and Dr. Alfredo Zayas overthrew the Estrada Palma administration and set up the government of 1006. The last pres!- dential election shattered the Liberal party. The “patriotic conjunction,” composed of Conservatives and “As Dertistas,” exiles from all parties, elected Menocal. His inauguration in turn shattered the Conservatives, so that now he might be called a presi- dent without a party. It ts generally conceded that the party Is broken up beyond reorganization. The last con- ference of the leaders resulted in widening factional breaches, and Dr. Enrique Jose Verona, vice president of Cuba and president of the Conserva- tives, was called upon to resign the leadership. : The row among the Conservatives was brought about by the apparent honesty of Menocal. ‘They wanted the “rascals turned out” and themselves ensconced In polltical jobs. The “As- bertistas” also wanted a pro rata of J6bs for their part In the “patriotic conjunction.” Instead of listening to party clamor, Menocal set about presl- denting tn a- business way. Where a man of opposite faith was efficient be was retained in office. This policy was also adopted by Colonel Charles [Her- nandez, the new postmaster general. This line of official conduct could not be reasoned out by the politicians: consequently the howl they raised conld be heard from one end of the island to the other. A senator from an interior province, soon after Meno- cal took office, sent one batch of fifty men to Colonel Jose Villalon, secretary of public works. saying they were his political allies, and asked that thes be provided with government Jobs The refusal of congress to temper the “immunity clause.” which allows members to slay and pillage without fear.of civil courts, was a slap at the president. This wrangle grew out of the killing of General Armando de J. Riva, chief of the national police. Un- der this clause the expressed consent of congress must be obtained to allow civil prosecution, but public opinion was so strong that congress consented to the trial of Senator Morales and Representative Arias, but refused to further modify It President Menocal used bis strong influence and sought to vwicld the “big stick,” but congress Mmply “set down in harness” and ask: ed, “What are you golng to do about "a7 Anttadministration forces rallied “Deaf Mutes” on the Run, Sacramento, Cal.—Motorcycle Pollce- man Brown chased a couple on another motorcycle eighteen miles the other night.

Gibson, who has been tried twice by Orange county jurists on the charge of having eaused the death of Mrs. Rosa Men- schik Szabo on Greenwood lake on July 16, 1912, will soon be tried again.

But the Pankhurst society, alone among the English organizations, bas never extended a single courtesy to an Americati leader, not even to Mrs. Catt, the International president. “Why all this talk of what we shall or sball not do for Mrs, Pankhurst?” said Dr, Anna {Howard Shaw, prest- dent of the Natlonal society. “Why not do just as Mrs. Pankburst docs when we visit England? 1 have been there repeatedly, Mrs. Catt has been there, other presidents of our organl- zations bave been there.

WANTS U.S. PLANT FOR ARMOR PLATE House Bll Cals Fot Expendl- ture of $7,000,000, fINED AT ALLESED TRUST. Pe har cpt NEN RR AEN ag Teme Od ef geek ST Ce Prices Down—Government asa Com. petitor Would Not Produce All of Its - Own Plato—Increase In Prices Has Been Felt. . Washington.—Seven mittion dollars to provide for a government armor plate plant Is aske! for ina bill {utro- duced by Representative Britten of I1- Unois. The bill was introduced coincl- dent with the announcement by the navy department that bldy for $3,000, 000 worth of armor for battleship No. 39 had been rejected because they are identical, Although Representative’ Britten is a Republican, his bill fol: lows generally the Ideas of Secretary Danlels. who bas reported that a “trust” evidently esists in the armor plate business and that the goveru- ment should have a plant of Its own, not to make all its armor, but to pro- vide enough to make competition with the private mils. In addition, Representative Britten is about to tuke up with several sena- tors the advixebility of changing the Underwootl tariff ull sos to admit armor plate free of dtity. Representative Britten's bill provides for the uequisition of a site, the erec- tion of suitable buildings and the pro- curing of necessary machinery and supplies for the establishment and maintenance of the plan. Active op- erations on the plant are to be begun within six mouths after the passage of the bill. In discussing bis bill Representative Britten said that be had bad in mind for some uionths the Introducing of a “plan that would break up Jf possible the trust now controlling the armor plate situation in this country. “The openlug of the bids of the navy department for $3,000,000 worth of ar- mor for battleship No. 39, appropriated tor lost year. in which the bids of the three armor producing companies in the United Stntes corresponded exact- ly and giving the same amount per toa as last year,” sald Mr. Britten, “shows conclusively the collusion erfsting in the bidding regurdless of the fact that each bidder attests in an affidavit sub- mitted with bis respective bids that the company Is not engaged in any such agreement and proves conclusive- ly that competition for this enormous amount of government business is. farce. “The only way to procure armor plate at anything lke a reasonable price Is fur the government to enter into direct competition {n {ts manu- facture with the compaules already engaged in this work. I am not In favor of entering into the field to such an extent as to put the other ar- mor producing compantes out of bus!- ness, but to manufacture a sufficient amount of this commodity so as to force them into competition and com- pel them to offer us their*armor at least at a fairly reasonable cost. “Investigations recently made in this Uirection bave shown that in a govern- ment plant capable of turning out 10,000 tons a year, which fs about halt of the armor needed on a tivo battle- ship program, the cost of the armor will not exceed $314 a ton. The differ- ence between this and the amount bid last Tuesday, ‘which was exactly the same per ton as the bids submitted last year, $454: on 10,000 tons, at a saving of $140 per ton over the price now paid, the government would save $1,400,000 per annum. Deducting the Interest on the money, used In building the plant, the government will still save considerably over $1,000,000 a year, which: amount in a very short time will completely cover the cost of the plant. and at the same tiofe we will be Independent of this branch of the steel trust. As a business propos! | ton the plant would net the govern- | ment more than 17 per cent on the en- | ire Investment after allowing 3 per cent on the total expenditure (or $1,200,000) “In 1906 the price of armor plate was $346 a ton, in 1907 the trust Jumped 11 to $420 a tou. and last yeariit was rals ed to $434 4 ton. ‘The price goes up constantly and remains up, and the evidence Is not lacking that the price at the present time is based more upor what the compantes think they can get than what It costs. “Some years azo we were confronted with the same problem in the purchase of powder for the use of the army and the navy. We bullt a powder plant, entered into direct competition with the powder companies and today are saving $268.80 on exch ton of powder. “We manufacture our own powder In part, we manufacture our own guns, EDISON LOOKS INTO FUTURE.

BEHOLD A NEW AGE IS DAWNING Pastor Russell Addresses Record Crowd at Memphis. THE TWO PROMISES OF GOD The Wonders of the Past Century Rehearsed—They Are Foregleams of Messiah's Kingdom—The Blessings Promised For Thousands of Years Are Upon Us—Already In Them Greater Wonders Are Coming—Scripture Prophecy Fulfilling—Evolution Theory Incompetent and Unwise. Lift Up Your Heads and Rejoice. "The Blind," Who See Not the Source of These Blessings, Discontented, Are Menaced—The Danger Should Be Carefully Guarded Against. Memphis, Tenn. September 21. — Pastor Russell addressed two large and deeply interested audiences here today, one in the Memphis Auctioneer, seating five thousand. We report one of his discourses, on the topic, "The Dawn of the Golden Age of the Prophets Memphis, Tenn. September 21. Pastor Itssell addressed two large and deeply interested audiences here today, one in the Memphis Auditorium, seating five thousand. We report one of his discourses, on the topic, "The Dawn of the Golden Age of the Prophets and the Poets." His text was, "He that sat upon the Throne said, Behold, I make all things new." (Revelation 21:5.) He said: The promise of a New Day has long been before God's people—In the Bible, it was hinted to our first parents, six thousand years ago, that eventually the Seed of the woman should bruise the serpent's head. This, interpreted, is understood to mean that the power of Satan will be crushed, and mankind will be delivered from the reign of Sin and Death which has prevailed since the disobedience in Eden. A second promise, still more explicit, made by God to Abraham of old, says, "In thy Seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed." For centuries Abraham's posterity waited for the Messiah of promise, with the anticipation that He would use them in connection with His work of blessing all peoples. The Prophets of Israel foretold the coming King, of the line of David—that He should be a great Priest, a reigning Priest, after the order of Melchizede. To Him "every knee shall bow and every tongue confess," and through Him a blessing will extend to all nations as a "feast of fat things full of murray, and wines on the lees." (Isaiah 45:28, 25:6) Even the disciples of Jesus, who recognized Him as the "Sent of God," were disappointed that His glorious Kingdom, of which He spoke, was not immediately revealed, and that in answer to their question He declared, "It is not for you to know the times and the seasons which the Father hath put in His own Power." Still the prophecies respecting Messiah's Kingdom were repeated and amplified in the parables of Jesus, in the teachings of His Apostles, and finally and graphically, in the last Book of the Bible, in the Revelation which Jesus gave the Church through St. John. Our text is a quotation from this Revelation, respecting the Kingdom of Messiah. Through it God is to wipe away all tears from off all faces; and the King of kings and Lord of lords, whom Jehovah has established as the great Messiah, assures us that He Himself will "make all things new." Even the heathen poets sang of the Golden Age to come—quite probably borrowing their thought from the Hebrew Scriptures and quite probably realizing in some measure that a gracious God would not forever permit a reign of Sin and Death, but would somehow, sometime, and through some agent, bring to earth blessings to supplant the curse. "Arise, Look Around Thee." After all these centuries of waiting and hoping and praying, "Thy Kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth, as in Heaven," God's people today are more and more awakening to a realization of the fact that we are living in the very dawn of the glorious Epoch for which all have waited, prayed and hoped. These blessings have come down like a gentle shower, so quietly that we can scarcely realize that the earth has entered upon the foretold Times of refreshing and Restitution mentioned by St. Peter—Acts 2 19:21 Many are still asleep. Some are confused, and know not to what the blessings should be attributed. Having lost faith in the Bible and its promises, many are seeking a solution of the wonderful things of our day along the lines of evolution, claiming that a Nature god operates by blind force, under a law of the survival of the fittest. Surely they overlook the fact that there were great characters in the past with whom few of the present day may be compared—such as Shakespeare, Bacon, Socrates, Plato, St. Paul, King Solomon, King David the poet, Job, Moses, etc. A far better explanation is furnished us in the Bible. It explains that the wonders of today are the forelegs of Messiah's Kingdom and its blessings. It explains that we are in the Day of Jehovah's Preparation for the Kingdom of His Son. We have the numerous Scriptural declarations pointing to the end of this Age and the dawning of a new Age, and assuring us that at this time many would run to and fro. knowledge should be increased, and the wise should understand—Dan, 12:1-13. "In the Time of the End." This prophecy of Daniel is worthy of careful note, not only because Daniel was a Prophet greatly beloved by the Lord, but because Jesus, the Redeemer, specially quoted a portion of this prophecy, and thus, attested its gentleness. The many running to and fro could seemingly refer to nothing else, than the wonderful travelling which is a feature of our day and no other. In no other time was running to and fro a possibility to any extent. It is less than a century since the first crude locomotive was built. It is only one hundred and six years since the first steamboat by Fulton was tried. It might be said that there was no opportunity for running to and fro, until within the past fifty years. Now, the world is gridroned with rails. Now, the ocean voyage of four months is cut down practically to as many days, by mammoth vessels carrying three thousand to four thousand at a time. Who knew, at the time of Daniel's prophecy, of these wonderful facilities for running to and fro? Who knew that these facilities would be so generally used in this our day? Only the Almighty! And He gave this as one of the particular signs of the ending of the present Age—the dawning of the New Dispensation—the long- promised Messiah Kingdom. Look also at the second proof furnished us by this Prophet—the increase of knowledge. Who would ever have dreamed, a century ago, of conditions as they are at this moment—when practically every human being in civilized lands, from ten years old and upward, is able to read and write? Who would have dreamed of such persistency to fulfill the prophecy as would lead to laws of compulsory education in all civilized lands? Verily, the increase of knowledge is a positive proof of the inspiration of Daniel's prophecy, and equally proves that the New Age is dawning, and that we are now in the day of God's preparation for it. The next statement of the Prophet Daniel is that the wise of God's people shall understand. And now, in the appropriate time, all over the world, classes of Bible students are coming together, regardless of denominational lines, to study the Heavenly Father's Word. And true to the prophecy, the wise, trimming their Bible lamps and being well supplied with the oil of the Holy Spirit, are receiving light—are understanding the things kept secret from past ages and generations. "The mystery of God shall be finished." is another of the promises of the Bible respecting the present time; and surely it is having fulfillment! Not all are yet awake. But the joy of those who are awake, and their singing of the song of Moses and the Lamb, tend more and more to awaken all the virgin class. One more token of the end of this Age and the dawning of the New Age. God declared to the Prophet Daniel; namely, "There shall be a time of trouble such as never was since there was a nation." Let us not especially dwell on this sad feature. Let us regret that unpreparedness for God's mercies and blessings makes necessary a great day of trouble, to prepare the hearts of men for the blessings God is about to pour upon them. The Redeemer mentioned the present time, and the Time of Trouble which we see looming up on every hand and threatening the very foundations of society—political, social and religious. He hade his followers rejoice even amidst the trouble, because it marks the Day of deliverance from the power of Sin and Death. He said, "When these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads and rejoice, knowing that your deliverance draweth night."—Luke 21:28. Knowledge of God's Glory. The Bible declares that a prominent feature connected with the New Age will be the blinding of Satan, the Prince of Darkness, the father of lies, who has been deceiving poor humanity for these six thousand years. Continually he has been misrepresenting God's character and Plan so as to turn humanity away from God in fear and distrust. Thus he has blinded their mind to God's glorious goodness, which, to His people, is now shining clearly, in the personal character of our Redeemer and in the promises of the Bible. Every preparation is being made for the dissemination of knowledge worldwide. Telegraph wires and cables connect the civilized world, and now additionally the wireless telegraphy; and the later improvements upon this means of communication seem destined to bring it shortly to a plane of world-wide economy and usefulness. The printing-press is one of the most wonderful preparations of God for the general dissemination of knowledge. And already the world is learning that many of the things considered absolute certainties by our forefathers are really absurdities. Amongst others are the various creeds which we and other civilized peoples have worshiped as Idiots—idiots which have seriously misrepresented the character of our Heavenly Father. In agriculture other wonders are being performed, fulfilling the Scriptures, and seeming. In the light of the past, almost as miracles. Vast areas of wilderness and arid lands are being fertilized. Artesian wells are fulfilling the prophecy of springs coming forth from the desert. The promise of the Lord through the Prophet, that the earth should yield her increase, is also being fulfilled. New varieties of wheat, of oats, of cotton, etc., are being discovered, and the yield is being multiplied. At the same time the quality is being advanced. Fruits and vegetables are reaching a perfection not dreamed of even twenty-five years ago. The same Divine providence which has lifted the veil before the eyes of mechanics has also lifted the veil before the eyes of agriculturists, and Mr. Burbank is giving the world wonderful lessons in agriculture and horticulture. These blessings of our day are none the less wonderful because they are coming in a seemingly natural way. If once we expected these things to be fulfilled in a miraculous manner, it was because we forgot that "God moves in a mysterious way His wonders to perform." His wonders to perform: Everything in nature is really a miracle until we come to understand it, and then it is no less a wonder, but merely seems less so because commonplace and usual. "Send Out Thy Light." While we have been singing, "Send out Thy Light and Truth, O Lord," perhaps comparatively few who sang have appreciated the fact that, while we were asking, God was fulfilling our request, not only along spiritual lines, but also along natural lines. The increase of light, knowledge, understanding, appreciation of God's Word, has merely been keeping pace with the natural light. Think of it! even fifty years ago the making of tallow candles was an industry in nearly one-half the homes of humanity! Only then did petroleum begin to enlighten the world. Then came coal gas; and now this is rapidly giving way to the electric light, in which one form after another is increasing its usefulness and cheapness. Indeed, when we speak of electricity we are speaking of one of the wonders of the world, of which we understand so little. It would appear as though the Lord has in this, hidden treasures of wisdom, power and blessing. Already the hours of labor are greatly decreased. Already time for study, improvement and pleasure is at our disposal. And yet we are only in the infancy of these blessings. We are only nearing the dawn of that glorious Day when shin and sorrow shall pass away forever. At one time we might have feared that the rapid increase in the consumption of coal would soon leave the world destitute of fuel. Statisticians declare that the supply of the whole earth at the present rate of consumption and increase will be exhausted in less than two centuries. But we need not fear. A better means of comfort, than by the drudgery of our fellow-creatures in the bowels of the earth, will undoubtedly be provided by the great King of kings, who has undertaken by His Kingdom to bring to our race blessings, instead of the curse under which we have labored six thousand years—six great Days. How He will do it is, of course, a mystery. Nevertheless, we do know that in the water which is so abundant and in the air which we breathe there are elements of combustion far more than sufficient for every need. Man needs the key of knowledge on this subject, and it will doubtless be furnished by the Lord in the very same way that He has already given us the key to our other blessings which are preparing for the perfectness of His Millennial Kingdom. Forgiveness, Reconciliation, Peace. But Messiah's Kingdom will be much more than a beneficent Reign giving mankind temporal blessings and knowledge. In connection with the knowledge of God, the way of reconciliation will be paved for the sinner. He who redeemed the world with the sacrifice of His own life is to be the great Mediator between God and men. Forgiveness of sins and help out of the weaknesses of the fall are the glorious promises of the Scriptures. Inherited weaknesses, surrounding temptations and ignorance of God, undoubtedly have more to do with the reign of Sin in the world than any real preference for sin on the part of the majority. When temptation to sin shall have been removed, when Satan shall be bound, when the True Light shall shine, when God's true character shall have been manifested, when His loving pity for the race shall have been demonstrated, we have every reason to suppose that then, the majority of mankind will be glad to return to the Father's House, to serve Him with true contrition of heart and loyalty. We are fully content, however, with the Scriptural proposition that when the light of that glorious Day shall bring blessings to every member of our race, the inconceivable law will be that who ever loves sin shall perish in the Second Death, without hope of recovery. The Church of this Gospel Age is an exception to the masses of the world. Of these Jesus said, "Blessed are your eyes, for they see, and your cars, for they hear." Thus He indicated that a special favor comes to this special class. Respecting the others, St. Paul writes that some are feeling after God, desiring to that Him, but are baffled by the immanence and superstition with which Satan blinds and confuses them. "The god of this world hath blinded the minds of those who believe not," lest the glorious light of God's goodness as it shines in the face of Jesus Christ our Lord should shine in their hearts. The Church, thus an exception to the world, is styled the Elect of God, a people for a purpose. The Divine promise to the faithful of the Church is joint-heirship with Messiah in that glorious Kingdom which is just about to be established, and for which still we pray, "Thy Kingdom come." These elect ones, tried, tested, found worthy, will be Messiah's joint-heirs and His associates in ruling, helping, uplifting, judging, the world of mankind—to ascertain which, under full light and opportunity, will love sin and which will love righteousness and hate injustice. DISCOVER OLD PIKE. One of the Weapons Used by Alabamaans In Civil War. Mobile, Ala.—"Made in Mobile, 1801," could appropriately be placed on probably the only pike now in existence which was devised for use in the war between the states. The pike has been presented to the Charles Mohr society for the Mobile museum and is on exhibition in a shop window. The blade of the pike was devised by Percy Walker in Mobile in 1801. The wooden handles were poles six feet long, the butt end fitted into a strap attached to a saddle, and the pike was used in repelling attacks. The specimen was presented by Leroy Walter Melissa of Calvert, who was a member of the Mobile dragons and later first lieutenant in the Fifty-sixth regiment of Alabama cavalry. The pike was made by W. A. Alexander, who lives on Catherine street now and who was identified with the making of rifles and the building of tronchad warships for the army. The company which used the pikes was sometimes called the Mobile Pilkers. GOLD IN CHICK'S. GIZZARD. Pullet Promptly Pays For Itself When Cut to Fry. Goldfield. Nev.—This place continues to produce freak heens, the latest being a pullet with a gold bearing glizzard. It was owned by Mrs. R. L. Morgan, and when it reached, the right size for frying Mrs. Morgan very promptly had her husband cut off the fowl's head. When she sliced the chicken's glizzard open Mrs. Morgan was astonished to see a piece of yellow material, which on closer inspection turned out to be a gold nugget the size of a bean and worth $2.50. A short time ago a Goldfield hen laid an egg the shell of which was incrusted with gold, and following this two of the largest eggs ever produced by a hen were presented to their owners by two Goldfield fowls. SEEK SMUGGLERS OF "OPIUM RING" Officials Have Clew In Chinese Book Just Found. Washington: On the basis of unofficial reports from Chicago concerning the discovery there of a "Chinese black book" containing a list of agencies for the sale of opium in various cities, marginal notes in Chinese characters and records of Chinese alleged to have been smuggled into the United States, federal officials started on the trail of what they suspect to be an organization of opium sellers, Chinese smugglers and white slavers. Immigration Commissioner Camnett directed the Chicago immigration officials to get in touch with the Chicago police, who have possession of the Chinese black book, and obtain all the information regarding the case, with a view to ascertaining whether the Chinese excision laws have been violated by smuggling orientals over an "underground road" from Canada. The chlz immigration inspector at Chicago is Dr. Percy L. Prentis, who was in New York on detail as a member of the special board investigating food conditions at Ellis Island. The special agents of the customs service will also look into the matter, as they are interested in violations of the opium law, while the immigration authorities are more particularly concerned with the allegations of smuggling of Chinese into the country. Any evidence of violations of the Mann white slave law will be turned over to the department of justice. MAY CUT LOW LIVING RATE. Towanda (Pa.) Girl Will Try to Live on Less Than 50 Cents Weekly. Ithaca, N. Y. The fifty cents a week rate for food set last spring by Miss Clara Loewus of Towanda, Pa., is in danger. The young woman who made it by living for twenty weeks on $10 is going out to break it this fall, according to word received in the Ithaca Conservatory of Music, in which she is a student. She has written that she not only will live at the rate she established last spring, but that she will try to cut under it by a few cents. Her experiments in dietetics will be watched by the house economics department in Cornell university. BECOMES FATHER AT 88. Mountainer's Son, Sixty-one, Finds a Young Brother When He Calls. Spartanburg, S. C.-O. P. Grant, who lives in the mountains north of here, has become a father at the age of eighty-eight. When his son, L. M. Grant, sixty-one years old, called at the family home he found his father sitting on the front porch coddling a tiny baby. Aged Mr. Grant proudly introduced the infant as his young son. Must Learn Psalm In Jail. Pueblo, Colo.-Municipal Judge Crossman has issued a number of unusual sentences, but he established a record for odd decisions when he sentenced T. W. Nichols, a labor agent, to remain in jail until he had committed to memory the Twenty-third Psalm. SHIRKING HORSE CURED. Rolled Down a Bank and Then Decided She Was Not Sick. St. Louis.—Nellie, a delivery horse of Clayton, either is an expert dissembler or her alimentures are such that they baffle veterinary surgeons. After a vacation of three weeks she pulled the light delivery wagon willingly until she was about to be taken over the route again in the evening, when she lay down on the ground and groaned. Dr. C. A. Newton, a veterinary, worked with the animal two hours, took her temperature and looked for symptoms of various alliments, but found none. He declared Nellie was "stalling," but she refused to get up. Several spectators then helped roll the horse down a small embankment. This aroused Nellie's anger, and she jumped up and kicked her heels about the barn lot. Her owner, William Schoepker, a grocer, announced that Nellie's vacation will not be extended. Nellie was once a polio pony. One of her specialties has been to pretend to be lame in order to get a holiday or extended vacation. Sometimes the limp was in the left bind foot, and occasionally it shifted to the right bind foot. On each occasion a veterinary said the animal was in good health. POISON FAILS TO KILL Woman Takes Dose Which Would Kill a Hundred Persons. St. Louis.-Edward Fisher, a photographer, and Mrs. Carrie DuBols, who weighs 200 pounds, both bichloride of mercury patients, were treated successfully by a method that St. Louis physicians now believe is an absolute cure for mercurial poisoning. The two, who are neighbors, but have never met, have expressed mutual interest in one another's condition. Mrs. DuBols said that it was the reading of Mr. Fisher's condition in the newspapers that prompted her to swallow more than 110 grains of the poison This is an amount, physicians say, sufficient to kill more than 100 men, but Dr. Maurice Thompson and Dr. Walter Harrall predict that she will recover, after the application of hot water bottles and electric globes and the injection of saline solution or sodium carbonate every three hours. NO MORE FLYING FOR ME, SAYS REID Aviator Hicarkens to Mother's Plea to Stay on Ground. Atlantic City, N. J.—Viewing the total wreck of his $6,000 hydroaeroplane as it lay upon the beach at the inlet, Marshall Darle Reld, well known aviator, who for two years has furnished thrills at shore resorts and elsewhere, said. "I am through with flying for good. I'll consider myself lucky in this tumble and call it square. If there is anything exciting in the game that I have not tried out in the two years of my career as an aviator I shall leave it for some one else to tackle. For me it is no more playing the bird man. I do not exactly regret having been in the business, for I have made $12,000. "My mother has urged me time and again to stop flying. I think she knows better than I do myself that the money is not worth it. My other relatives have joined in pleading with me also. I guess he'd call this now. "One thing I am thankful for, and this is that no human life has been laid as a sacrifice to my experiments in aviation. It was a close call, they tell me, but here I am, and mighty lucky, I think, to be here. Anyway, I'll take the tumble as a friendly hint to seek some other means of livelihood So it's me for the dry and solid land bercafter." Held was reminded of his mother's desire that he should quit aviation by the loss of a ring that his mother gave him. KILLED 745,634 RATS. Work Done by London Health Officers to Guard Against Plague. London.-In the annual report just issued of Dr. Herbert Williams, medical officer of health for the port of London, Dr. Williams says that 745.634 rats were destroyed in the port of London from February, 1901, to January, 1912. During 1912 1,310 rats were examined, but only thirteen were found to be affected with plague. Plague from rats is caught through the rat flea, which, after having lived on an infected rat, makes its way to a man and blites him, thus inoculating him with plague. MARRIES HIS ACCUSER. Wode Woman Who Says He Stole $2,000 From Her. Butte. Mont.-William F. Morrison, accused by Mrs. Louise Tam, a widow, of having stolen $2,000' from her, together with some diamonds, married the complaining witness after he had been brought, back from Tampa, Fla. by the officers. This action took the prosecuting staff off its feet, and the indignation of the officers knew no bounds. For months they have been trickling Morrison. Under the Montana statutes a wife cannot appear against her husband and there is nothing left but to dis- miss the case. GOETHALS AT 1915 FAIR Canal Builder Will Head Engineering Congress at Exposition. San Francisco.-Colonel George W. Goethals, U. S. N., whose engineering genius is bringing the Panama canal into being, is to take part in the Panama-Pacific International exposition, which is to be held in this city in 1915 to celebrate the completion of the great project. Colonel Goethals, who is chairman of the isthmus canal commission and chief engineer of the Panama canal, has accepted the honorary presidency of the international engineering congress, which will be held in connection with the exposition from Sept. 20 to 25, 1915. The congress, it is promised by its promoters, will be the most notable in the history of engineering. The exposition officials have communicated with some 90,000 engineers in all parts of the world with a view of having them visit San Francisco in 1915. The congress will be conducted under the combined auspices of the American Society of Civil Engineers, the American Institute of Mining Engineers, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, the American Institute of Electrical Engineers and the Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers. PIGEON FLIES 1,000 MILES. Record Time of 26 Hours and 30 Minutes Established. Pittsburgh, Pa.—One thousand miles, air line distance, between Abellene, Tex., and Fort Wayne, Ind., in 26 hours, 20 minutes and 6 seconds actual flying time was the remarkable flight of a homing pigeon belonging to O. Anderson of Fort Wayne. The records, sent to President Carney of the American Raging Pigeon union in this city for verification, were officially announced. Forty-seven birds contested in the race from the Texas city, and the record made by Mr. Anderson's bird is a world's mark. The second bird to arrive in Fort Wayne from Abellene belonged to J. Schilling. It had been on the road 36 hours, 51 minutes and 47 seconds actual flying time. The speed of Mr. Anderson's bird averaged more than thirty-eight miles an hour. Eleven Years to Determine Outcome of New Experiment. Philadelphia.—A Philadelphia college will this fall give the students the first chance that has ever been offered by an educational institution in America for instruction that will tend to make girls physically perfect above everything else. According to the dean of the college, it will take eleven years to ascertain whether the plan is going to prove a success. They will take twenty young girls as nearly perfection physically as they can get and ranging between ten and twelve years of age and train them for seven years in elementary subjects and bring them up as women should be educated. The girls will be trained in the open all the time, they will have all kinds of physical exercises and outdoor life, and when they leave they will have not only a perfect physical condition to aid them, but they will have learned all the rudiments of English, Latin, French and German, to solve simple and original algebraic problems, to draw, to model, to appreciate pictures, to interpret music by rhythmic movements and to express musical impressions by dangling. DEATH SENTENCE FOR DOG. Passed on it by Judge For Having Bitten Little Girl. Chicago.—A dog has been sentenced to death by Municipal Judge David Sullivan in the South Chicago court. The animal belongs to Michael Ronaine, who was arraigned on a charge of disorderly conduct on complaint of Mrs. Anna McMannon. She charged that the dog had bitten her daughter Virginia, eight years old, and that Ronaine refused to turn over the animal to the dog pound. "I'll give up the dog whenever the police demand it." Ronaine told the judge. "All right," replied the court, "the police are ordered to take the animal to the dog pound, and I sentence the dog to be shot and killed there." FINE TO GIVE OR TAKE TIPS. Waiters Urged St. Louis Council to Pass the Ordinance. St. Louis.—The city council has passed a bill making it a misdemeanor to give or receive a tip in a hotel or restaurant. A fine of from $10 to $50 may be levied for each offense. Half of the fine is to be given to the police. Informant of violation of the anti-tipping ordinance. The measure was passed without opposition following a public hearing in which scores of waiters attributed the local hotel employees' strike to low wages resulting from the tipping practice. Tampa, Fla. - A man giving his name as W. T. Blackerby is under arrest at Klassmine, charged with the murder of his wife and four, other persons in Santa Clara, Cal., seventeen years ago.

ESTABLISHED 1880. 7ERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION. One copy per year in advance...$2.00 Six months ...1.00 Three months ....50 Subscription monthly ....20 FOX FIRE. Hon. W. A. Jones, chairman of the House Committee on Insular Affairs, and author of a bill looking to the ultimate independence of the Philippines, is up and in arms over the report of the Auditor of the Philippines on the subject of the existence of extensive slavery in the islands. We fail to see why Mr. Jones should go into hysteric on the subject, especially as it is well known that the most striking blot on the administration of affairs in the Philippines has been and still is the apparent general indifference on the subject of human slavery. It may be that anxiety on the part of Mr. Jones to carry out the "independence" declaration of the Baltimore Convention, may account for his present nervousness on the subject. But, if he is correctly reported, he admits that not only slavery, but also polygamy have existed and are now common among the Mohammedans of Jolo and Mindanao and the Government has shut its eyes to their existence. That there should be an attempt to give independence to a population, a vast number of whom are acknowledged to be slaves, is not, it would seem to us, the best way of displaying a desire to popularize approved notions of self-government among a people who for nearly four centuries suffered from Spanish tyranny, slavery and polygamy. It would be by far the more consistent and humane policy to eradicate slavery and polygamy in the Philippines, and educate the people in the arts of approved civilization, thus guaranteeing moderate success and happiness, than to desert them, to be turned over to designing marplots, desperate adventurers and the exploitation of predatory and monopolistic agencies. Moreover, Mr. Jones is compelled to admit that right here, in his own country, there are more cases of slavery and peonage, according to population, than there are in the islands referred to. It would, therefore, be in better form for those who appear to be so anxious to display their sympathy and magnanimity by demanding independence for the Philippines, to eliminate the terrible evils of slavery and peonage practiced by the whites against a class of citizens who have had the examples of American civilization set before them for over fifty years, before they prate about Philippino self-government. The delivery of President Wilson, and so often quoted by howlers about Philippino independence, "I would rather starve a free man than be fed a mere thing," sounds all right; but when applied to conditions in this country, seems not to fit so well. Mr. Quezon, the Philippino delegate in Congress, and his sympathizers, have about worn that epigram out to a frazzle and it will likely remain in that attenuated condition until Mr. Wilson and his administration give a practical demonstration of their sincerity when it comes to dealing with colored races. To admit that there are relatively as many slaves and peons in America as there are in the Philippines may be a frank confession of the truth of disgraceful conditions there, as well as here, but the disgrace is greater here because it is in the very presence of the great masses who are eternally professing love of freedom and justice and fairplay, and who are in possession of all the means necessary to correct them. The disgrace is in that peonage, or slavery exists, anywhere the flag of the United States floats, the greater when existing in our very midst. Instead of caviling about what brand of officials are responsible for the continuance of slavery or peonage, here or elsewhere, the thing now to do is to act on ex-President Taft's suggestion and send a non-political commission to the Philippines to report on actual conditions and thereby furnish the people of the country an ungarbled report of the actual readiness or unreadiness of those people for the duties and responsibilities of self-government. But we fear that, as with peonage and virtual slavery in this country, the politicians much prefer to use the subject for buncombe than to encourage methods looking to an intelligent understanding of conditions and a wise remedial policy. Besides, it is highly questionable as to whether the managers of the Democratic party actually care anything about their newly adopted colored citizens, except to show to the general Democratic constituency their ancient prejudice against color and their historic opposition to the best interests of colored people generally, by turning the Philipino over to hustle for himself amid conditions infinitely more hazardous than those from which he has been made to believe he had been extricated. HOLD THE FORT. THE trying ordeal through which the colored employees of the government are now passing is only another test of the Jimber necessary to the building of a sturdy moral character. There is something more than the gratification of one's self involved in almost every effort that is worth the making. However the whites may treat the matter, government service should not be regarded by us as a "private snap," but as a trust for our temporary benefit and more for those of the race who may come after us, to fill our places and, if possible, improve upon and greatly profit, by our careers. To insure this, rebuffs, galling discriminations, and almost anything short of direct attacks upon our reputations or characters as true men and true women, should be endured with patience and a firm faith, ever bearing in mind that as pioneers in a good cause, we must suffer for the sake of others. Nor should we construe every slight manifestation of caprice of tyranny into a direct personal attack on ourselves. We may be so situated as to be forced into the face of great injustices from our immediate superiors, but it frequently happens that such situations are the accident of peculiar circumstances, as where certain understrappers take undue advantage of their brief authority and become veritable brutes, when in reality the motive higher up is merely that of enforcing a discipline, unjust and in a measure humiliating, to be sure, but not intended to produce bodily harm or financial loss. It is not that we should condone, indorse or encourage such treatment, from whatsoever source, for that would be self-abasement, nay perfidy. But, realizing a condition and our inability to temper it to our desires and our just rights, and appreciating our opportunities to make favorable sentiment by the exercised of enlightened judgment—which is in itself a most powerful and effective protest against—continue our labors with fortitude and the consciousness of rectitude and thereby establish a reputation for peaceableness, efficiency, and unexceptionable adaptability to meet the farthest stretch of duty and responsibility. Aside from the trails we are blazing for those who are to enter the Civil Service after us, we have our families to support, homes to purchase and properly equip and preparations to make for larger and higher service in the cause of the uplift of the race. To give up a lucrative position simply because everything is not as smooth as we would like, is to display a false pride and to perpetuate an injustice and hardship on those who also those who are compelled to earn a living outside the government service; for, should we foolishly resign, we have no reason to hope or believe that our places will be filled by members of our race, while we would certainly increase the great number of competitors on the outside, who are now barely living, and to that lessen the chances of their employment. Those brave souls who are berating the government clerk because said clerk (or employee) does not resign his position under the circumstances, are most likely those who are looking for company, while they are out of office, but who, should they ever get into a position similar to ours, would bear all sorts of humiliation or make any number or character of compromises in order to remain at the government crib. The colored government employee is a powerful factor—in most cases—in the uplift of the race. He wears a badge of merit earned in a sharp competition for recognition, and against fearful odds. He is growing in the appreciation of his immediate competitors by maintaining a record for high efficiency, sterling integrity, courtesy and a dignified self-respect. He is under no obligations to those who are temporarily supervising his labors, except to perform his official duty well. If justice is done him, he will more than likely be at his present labors long after his present supervisors are gone, perhaps, forgotten, though it is to be hoped that they may be justly and gratefully remembered. If injustice is carried to a point where forbearance would be dishonorable, the high character of the men and women involved is sufficient assurance that they will not shirk their duty. Let us hope that the skies may clear up and that soon. At all events, the indications are that if conditions do not soon change for the better, the trite aphorism about the uselessness of wasting time, patience and powder in an attempt to shoot a fool deer, will surely and soon be gloriously exemplified. Then a part of the venison may be ours. In the meantime, let us be brave, be hopeful, be faithful and "learn to labor and to wait." AND ROOSEVELT. Every day or two we hear from various followers of Mr. Theodore Roosevelt that he will be the Republican standard bearer in 1916—that his nomination is essential to welding the two factions of the Republican party together, and that it is either Mr. Roosevelt or defeat. From time to time also men like Senator Penrose and Senator Bradley are reported as favoring Roosevelt for the Republican nomination and are compelled to deny such reports as soon as they are brought to their attention. The latest in this line comes from former Senator Wellington, of Maryland, who has accepted the Progressive nomination for the U. S. Senate, but who declares Mr. Roosevelt will be nominated by the Republican party in 1916 and will be elected. The Progressives will follow Mr. Roosevelt back into the Republican party and this probably will mean the end of the third party nationally. Now, here is a man accepting the Senatorial nomination from a party whose existence he declares is limited to three years, and all the while proclaiming the permanence of the Republican party—accepting a nomination which can result in nothing except to assist in the possible defeat of the very party into whose folds he expects to be numbered in 1916. In 1913, instead of working to cement the two factions into one harmonious whole, he is doing everything he possibly can to keep them apart and to elect a Democratic Senator from Maryland. And yet casts a wistful eye on the prospects of the Republican party which greatly honored him in times past as it still more greatly honored his restless chief. Now, we are not numbered among those who believe that Theodore Roosevelt will ever be given a Republican nomination for the Presidency. He is outside of the Republican party aiding and betting its enemies. Through his inordinate and unscrumpulous ambition for power the Republican party was struck down and the nation inflicted with the reaction and incompetency of the Democratic party, which has thus far shown itself capable of doing but two things well—placing its heel on the neck of the black race and attempting to strike down the prosperity of the North. We believe that four years of Democracy will cure the country of the Mr. Roosevelt mania—"progressive" rot. We believe that by the time the next national Republican convention assembles the people of the North will have realized that the Republican party is quite progressive enough and that its principles are founded in sound economic doctrine—in wisdom and common sense. The people are already realizing? this much, as has been shown by the elections in St. Louis, Michigan, Maine and Pennsylvania in less than a year after the "Progressive" party went to disastrous defeat, dragging the Republican party down with it. Mr. Theodore Roosevelt possesses a destructive capacity ab- normally developed. He exhibited this quality as President and has exhibited it since he left the White House. What will be needed in 1916 will be a constructive party led by a statesman of constructive qualities to repair the damages which the Democratic party will everywhere have wrought in national affairs. The man who proved himself an ingrate to the party that made him and perfidious to friendships of the most intimate character, will never be able to earn the confidence of that loyal legion of voters, who stood by the Republican party in 1912 or who voted for the Democratic candidate in order to make certain his defeat. If Mr. Theodore Roosevelt and his fool followers are nourishing the hope that the Republican voters of the nation will ever support him for anything, it merely affords additional testimony, cumulative evidence, as it were, that they were of unsound mind in 1912 and have not yet recovered their normal mental balance. Followers of the "Progressive" banner have already returned to the Grand Old Party by the thousands and this movement will be greatly accelerated as we approach the Congressional elections of next year. Every election held this year exhibited the rapid disintegration of the "Progressive" nonsense, and the Republican party is not in the habit of selecting its standard bearers either from populists, greenbackers or, third termers. THE POWER OF PRAYER. THE POWER OF PRAYER. The colored Americans believe ardently in prayer. During the days of slavery the old colored mama would pray for freedom, although she was loyal to her master and mistress. The slave found more virtue in prayer than he did in the shotgun and the torch. He deemed it was better for him to accept the blows from the lash than to retaliate. Since his emancipation he has been pursued and abused and badly treated by the offsprings of his former master and mistress. The colored citizen of the South has been deprived of his constitutional rights and citizenship. The Southern white man, not being satisfied with that, pursues him in the halls of Congress and everywhere he may be found. Ben Tillman pursued him for years, but the old colored man prayed for him until his tongue was silenced. After Tillman, Raynor of Maryland jet forth against this weak and harmless race, and the prayers of the black man relieved him of his struggle. Then appeared upon the stage of action Roddenbery, of Georgia. He was bitter and brutal in his attacks upon this weak and harmless race. O! but has not the colored American been praying for him. Their prayers are about to be answered. Vardaman, of Mississippi, came forth, but he saw the words written upon the wall as Belshazzar saw his doom at the feast. God moves in a mysterious way. No man can live who rails against the Lord's anointed. It will not be long before all of them will pass to the great beyond and meet the devil and his angels. There is one consolation—the colored American has, and that is, there is no segregation in hell. Tillman, Raynor, Roddenberg, Vardaman and others will be glad to ask the Negroes they are now segregating to get between them and the devil's fire. O! but the colored man will come nowhere near them. He will be content to go where it is cool and pleasant. Prayer is greater than the torch Prayer is greater than the torch or the shotgun. There is power in prayer. CONDITION HOPEFUL Mr. Roddenhery Reported Pette of Nervous Ailment. Thomasville, Ga., Sept. 22.—Representative S. A. Roddenbery, who is critically ill at his home here, was reported much improved today. Attending physicians said he enjoyed a good night's rest and reported him much stronger. Mr. Roddenbery suffered a nervous breakdown, attributed to overwork, several days ago. Yes, this is the same Roddenbery who made such a vicious attack upon the colored race. All defamers of the outraged race generally have nervous attacks. No man can live who attacks the Lord's anointed. DON'T DELAY Dr. G. H. Richardson's able defense of the colored race, which is being published in pamphlet form under the auspices of The Bee, bearing upon most of the phases of the opposition to the manhood rights of the race, is a direct reply to an article which appeared in the "Popular Science Month- ly," not long since. As the article answered is treated merely as a masked battery for the use of our enemies of both the mild and the violent type, the pamphlet constitutes a complete reply not only to Vardaman, but to all his directly remotely related kind. No race-loving colored man or woman should be without the pamphlet. GET TOGETHER. Mr. Louis Costley called the twelve colored members of his association together a few weeks ago to consider the propriety of getting together for mutual protection. Not a man in business was slighted. The twelve men didn't have interest enough in their own welfare to respond to his call. About four of the twelve responded to Mr. Costley's call. This shows how much interest some colored business men have in their own business. Let everybody get together. Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones. The most impressive commencement exercises that I have ever witnessed was that of a farmer boy at Tuskegee last May. He stood upon the platform of the beautiful church surrounded by the common tools and the common animals and common foods without which we could not live. There were the stove, the bed, and the table; the plow, the spade, and the hoe; the saw, the hammer, and the plane; the horse, the cow, and the pig. Surrounded by these evidences of a democratic education, he stood erect, a splendid specimen of young manhood critically unconscious of his uniform—the simple blue overalls of a farmer. He explained in dignified clear English a scientific chart showing exactly how to obtain the greatest possible returns from an acre of soil and still leave that soil ready for other crops. It was all most interesting and impressive, but to me the climax of his splendid efforts came when, quite unconsciously, he lifted from the platform a box containing what he described to be the farmer's best ally. His simple words were eloquent with meaning as he showed that out of that box of barnyard manure came prosperity and comforts and pleasures and education and religion to the man who is democratic enough to recognize its value. From address of Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones, before the National Education Association, Salt Lake City. MINISTER TO LIBERIA VISITS TUSKEGEE. Tuskegee, Ala., Sept. 17—Doctor George W. Buckner, of Evansville, Ind, recently appointed and confirmed United States Minister to the Republic of Liberia, spent a few days at Tuskegee Institute this week in conference with Doctor Booker T. Washington and Secretary Emmett J. Scott, who was a member of the American Commission to Liberia in 1990. Doctor Buckner wishes to be of the greatest service possible to the Liberian people in, their efforts to work out their destiny. Knowing Doctor Washington's acute interest in the whole Liberian situation and of his disinterested services in behalf of the "Little Black Republic," and of Mr. Scott's late visit to that country, his visit to Tuskegee Institute was for the purpose, as he expressed it, to secure "pointers on the situation." Doctor Buckner is expected to report at the State Department for instructions, soon and to sail for Monrovia within the next month. Washington, D. C., Aug. 25, 1913. Hon. W. Calvin Chase. Editor "The Washington Bee." Washington, D. C. My Dear Mr. Chase: We have read with a great deal of interest and satisfaction the many encouraging things you have said from time to time, with respect to the organization and growth of the Florida Avenue Baptist Church, and our splendid pastor, Rev. William A. Taylor, D. D., who is justly rated as one of the ablest ministers of this clime and we assure you that they have not fallen upon deaf ears. This is evidenced in the fact that many of our people are either readers or subscribers of "The Bee." Nothing that I may say in this letter can add to or detract from the laurels won by the editor of "The Bee." Your place is fixed in the hearts of the people of this city (the primaries of February 10, 1913, evidenced that fact), and country, as a fearless race man of a very high order. Your deeds of valor and patriotism in defense of our race are too fresh in the minds of people yet living to need rehearsing. I read a number of papers published by our people, and have, ever since I have been able to read; among them is "The Bee" the only organ of news for colored people in this city. "I will either find a way or make one," must have been the motto of its editor when he conceived the idea of publishing a paper here, for Washington is not the pleasantest place on earth to run a newspaper, yet through thirty-five stormy years. "The Bee" has either found or made its way to the homes of its many subscribers weekly, without a single exception. The answer for "The Washington Three cheers for "The Washington Bee" and its editor. Yours for the success of all race enterprises. Our Schools. Every citizen should support the appeal of Superintendent Davidson and Assistant Superintendent Roscoe C. Bruce. Every pupil should learn a trade. The vocational schools should be supported. All kinds of trades are taught in the public schools. No excuse for idleness. Public Men And Things I notice that away out there in Bob LaFollette's state they have done gone and made gossip a crime. If they went and done it in this halliwick they sure would have to increase the number of police court judges, and add about a gross of annexes to the jail and workhouse, all of which leads me to get a strangle hold on the "Muse" and choked out of her the following near-poetry When the last gossip has been chucked, And the last bit of gossip forgot. And the gossip who gossiped decayed, Or down in hell burning his lot. We shall then rest for a time, I ween. And I promise we will need it, too. Till a fresh crop of gossips arise To cast aspersions anew. And those who survive will be content, When the last gossipier has died, And her last bit of gossip on you Has become quite stale and dried. But millenium is nearer far Than death of the damned gossip brigade Which deals in gossip low and mean On those in innocence arrayed. Perhaps the law will sentence for life The gossip who gossips on you, Or perhaps twill heat to a frazzle The man, or gossip shrew Who peddles out lies, slanderous lies On innocent folk o' the neighborhood. No matter their sex or ties. And now, just by way of digression, I want to here rise to remark: Some few acts at Howard Theatre Are so putrid they are dark With immoral swear Too immoral for our young progeny Who yet are pure and guileless. But the manager cannot be blamed For the putrid first performance: He combs the land, the public to serve: Knows not, in common parlance. The "dope" which hans intend to hand out Until first night's performance is oer But if sensual acts are repeated Then the fault lies at his door Yet a public which night after night Sits uproariously applauding Suggestive songs and vulgar dancing. With shouts of laughter lauding. Is more to be blamed than management If youths of impressionable age Are contaminated with vices Here complained of by the "Sage." After thinking out the foregoing, which I dreamed, I submitted to the head push down at M Street High, who is an authority of real banged-up poetry, as to whether the foregoing was poetry or not, my think-tank went on a strike, and readers will have to be satisfied with what's handed them for five cents this week. I can't broke into the poetry atmosphere since I "effused" on.Prof. Tunnell. Since then old "bear cat" has got out of the turbulent sea of strife, got right down to business, and is just lovely, don't you know. Perhaps this dose will shut up gossipers, and make Andy Thomas, who's a fine chap, censor all bum acts loaded with sensuality, and cause the public to stop approving suggestive songs what will even bring the blush of shame to the cheek of a wooden model. Au revoir. Knights of Malachites. On Friday evening, September 26, the young ladies and gentlemen of the Knights and Ladies of Malachitos of the World—the Organizers' Social Club—held a very pleasant entertainment at the residence of Miss Clementina Colbert, 212 P Street Northwest, at which a large number of friends and members of the Malachitos attended. Among the prominent members of this club are: Miss Clementina O. Colbert, Mrs. Beatrice Johnston, Mrs. Isla T. S. Neil, Miss Maggie Streator, Miss Irene Padgett, Mijs Hannah Lewis, Miss Sarah E. Johnson. The ladies were handsomely attired with their escorts, while the music was splendidly rendered. Dainty refreshments were served during the evening. This Malachite Club will continue a monthly series of socials during the entire winter season.

NEW YORK NOTES. Mr. Jerome B. Peterson, Deputy Collector of Internal Revenue, in charge of the branch internal revenue office at San Juan, Porto Rico, lost his oldest son, Philip, on Wednesday of last week. He was drowned at San Juan while in bathing with his sister, who was rescued. Mr. Peterson was a member of the firm of Fortune & Peterson, publishers of, the New York Age, for more than twenty years. Collector Charles W. Anderson presided at one of the tables at the banquet given last Friday night at the Hotel Astor in honor of the members of the Eighth International Congress of Foreign Students. This banquet was given under the auspices of the Alliance Francaise, the American Scandinavian Society, the Mexico Society, the Pan-American Society, the Verein Alter Deutscher Studenten in Amerika and the Corda Fratres. President John Finley, of the College of the City of New York, acted as toastmaster, and Professor William M. Sloan, of Columbia University, Mr. Hamilton Holt, editor of the Independent, and Doctor John Meg, of Munich, were among the speakers. About three hundred guests sat down and more than one hundred students from Argentine, Bohemia, Brazil, British India, Cuba, Denmark, England, Germany, Hungary, France, Italy, Russia, Spain, Switzerland and Siam were in attendance. Collector Anderson was also a member of the honor escort appointed by Mayor Kline to escort the remains of the late Mayor Gaynor during the funeral parade here on Monday. On this committee were such men as Ex-president Taft, Colonel Roosevelt, Cornelius Vanderbilt, Henry Clews, Secretary McAdoo, John D. Rockefeller, Jr., and other leaders in finance and the arts and sciences in this city. He has also been appointed a member of the committee to arrange for a memorial in honor of the dead Mayor: By this it is evident that, notwithstanding the effort of some colored men to displace the collector, which displacement can only result in the appointment of a white man as his successor, he is enjoying some rather unusual honors at the hands of the most eminent men of the City of New York. This tells its own story. The officers of the provisional regiment of infantry announced that the work of recruiting for the regiment is nearly completed. The drilling is in charge of Ex-Sergeant Cole, of the Tenth Cavalry, who has been retired on pension after thirty years of service in that regiment. A school of instruction for the officers will be opened next week and will be in the hands of properly designated military instructors. VIENNA, VA.

Exodus 32:15-20, 30:35—Sept. 21. "Little children, keep yourselves from idols."— J John 5:21. THE Israelites experienced a severe trial of faith and obedience soon after entering into covenant relationship with God. In this trial they failed utterly. The Covenant was broken. However, after punishing them, God graciously renewed the Covenant. The circumstances of this testing are part of this lesson. After making the Covenant, Moses, by Divine direction, went into Mt. Sinai, taking Joshua with him. He was gone forty days. His prolonged absence gave room for the cultivation of faith, patience, trust. The Israelites remembered the trying experiences through which they had passed. The Egyptians were behind them; the Amalekites might renew their attack. What would they do without Moses, whose upheld hands brought them God's favor and victory? PRAYING FOR THE LOST Here worldly wisdom came in, Aaron was per plexed as to how Some Christians use the to keep the people crucifix to assist faith. from utter discouragement. Apparently they were unable to trust the God whom they could not see. The leaders took counsel together and determined to make a representative of Jehovah—an image which the people could use as an instrument of worship. We are not to suppose that the Israelites recognized the golden calf as their God Jehovah, but used it merely as a symbol. just as the heathen use their idols as representations of their gods, and as some Christians use the crucifix—not to worship, but to assist faith and hold attention. Today's lesson seems clearly to indicate that God was greatly displeased with their symbolic representation of Himself. One of His commands had been, "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image," to bow down before it and worship it as a symbol. Making the Golden Calf. We are not to suppose that the calf was made of solid metal. Probably it was made of either clay or wood, and then covered with molten gold, which in turn was graven or tooled. Having made the idol, the people rejoiced in it as an evidence of God in their midst, and gave themselves up to a season of feasting and dancing. After forty days, Moses came down from the mount with the tables of the Law. He heard the people shouting, and then beheld them worshiping the golden calf. Moses was justly angry; for he was the mediator between God and Israel—the representative of both, charged by God with the responsibility of that nation, and he realized that a serious crime against the Covenant had been committed. Moses dashed the tables of the Law into fragments, indicating that the Covenant had been broken. Armed with Divine authority, he let fall upon the people a just penalty for their rapld retrogression into sin. Then he went to God in prayer, and besought that, if the penalty of this sin was the casting off of Israel, he might himself be blotted out instead. Such patriotism as Moses here evinced has surely not often been equaled—loyalty both to Israel, as representative and mediator, and also to God. Let us apply the lesson to Spiritual Israel. After the Christian has left the world, passed the bitter experiences of Marah, had manifestations of God's favor, partaken of the Bread from Heaven, and entered into full covenant relationship with God—there comes a time when he must walk by faith, not by sight. If he fails to learn this lesson, as did the typical Israelites, it will be a serious matter. This making of images which divert and absorb our worship of God is one of Spiritual Israel's greatest tests. The golden calf which some set up is business, to which they sacrifice both time and energy. The love of money and of things which money can procure leads into idolatry, and thereby breaks our covenant. "I AM OF CALVIN" "I AM OF LUTHER" Others idolize the opposite sex, giving all they possess for its favor and fellowship. They make the great mistake of worshiping the creature more than the Creator, as the Apostle explains in the book of Romans. Still another idol is sectarianism, against which St. Paul warned the Church. (1 Corinthians 3:35.) The same principle we may apply today. If one says, I am of Calvin. Luther, Wesley, are these not evidences of carnality? Is there not serious danger of worshiping the human institutions bearing these names, and thus of having something come between the Christian and his God? Christendom's creeds are Christian traditions respecting the Truth. God's purpose evidently was that His people should have no creed but the Bible as a whole. They were to search the Scriptures daily, to ascertain God's teachings, and thus to grow in grace and knowledge. Christians should destroy their creeds, which misrepresent God's Character and Plan. Prelate Has Figured In Many Big Controversies. Activities Have Not Been Confined to Church Work, but He Has Striven to Better Conditions In All Walks of Life—He Is an Opponent of the Saloon—Was Chaplain During War. St. Paul, Miln.—Archbishop John Ireland is seventy-five years old. He celebrated his birthday recently in a simple fashion. He has had a long career in the Catholic church in America, and his positive nature has got him into many national and international controversies, some entirely religious, others touched with politics. He has been called "the brainiest man in the church outside of Rome." For more than forty years he has been engaged in some intellectual struggle or another, now proclaiming the tenets of the Republican party and lashing its enemies, again defending the popes as popes or defending before the highest tribunals at Rome his ideas of church government in America and the relations of church and state. No field of intellectual, political or spiritual endeavor has escaped his pen or tongue. From the pulpit of his cathedral in St. Paul he has attacked alike the enemies of his church and his own enemies in the church. He declared once: "There must always be among men an unequal distribution of the possessions of the earth, and the rights of property are sacred and cannot be violated. They who wrest to themselves the property of others are robbers and, together 91 ARCHBISHOP JOHN IRELAND. with other violators of the divine law, are excluded from the kingdom of heaven" John Ireland was born in Ireland. The name, uncommon in these days, is an old one in Irish history. Kilkenny is the place of his birth. He came to this country with his parents in 1849. Eventually the Irelands made the state of Minnesota their home. Very early in life he showed a desire to become a churchman. After an elementary education in the schools of Minnesota he was sent to France, where he studied the classics and theology. Returning to this country, he was raised to the priesthood in 1862 by the Right Rev. Thomas L. Grace, then bishop of St Paul. At the beginning of the civil war he was sent as chaplain to the Fifth regiment of the Minnesota volunteers. Later he became, in turn, pastor of the cathedral at St. Paul, coadjutor bishop of that diocese and, on the death of Bishop Grace, the actual ruler. The church in the far west grew stronger under his administration, and eventually St. Paul was made an archdiocese with Ireland as its archbishop. His fame as an orator and publicist was widely known at this time. A temperance advocate, the archbishop has given little or no quarter to the saloons or saloon keepers. The saloon became a leading question in the Catholic church in this country when Ireland was a young priest. In 1804 it was to the front again; following a fierce onslaught by Bishop Watterson of Columbus, O. One of his strongest supporters was Ireland. Bishop Watterson withdrew his approval from every Catholic society that admitted saloon keepers to membership. The archbishop was a member of the commission appointed in 1901 to settle labor disputes. He has lived to see his ideas concerning the church and state in this country approved not only by the Catholic body in this country, but after a long struggle by the authorities at Rome. One of the most recent utterances on the subject of Americanism was pronounced in a speech at the last convention of the Federation of Catholic Societies. "In America," he said; "the government is the republic, the government of the people by the people and for the people."

He Tells Why Rev. Waldron Was Dismissed—Friday Murray and Editor Trotter Silent on Segregation—He Wanted Office, Etc. 47 Windsor St, Montreal, Can. My Dear Editor Chase: My dear Editor Chase: Every one in this section is pleased with the magnificent fight your paper is making against the increased injustices against our people. I desire, however, to correct several of the many falsehoods in Mr. F. H. M Murray's "letter" to the Guardian. He says that the reason Dr. Waltron has not fought segregation is that he has been busy defending himself. This Mr. Murray knows is untrue. The case of Dr. Waltron is settled. We dismissed him from the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People or June 20, and on August 5th the national board of directors sustained our action. I presened the case before the board. I only brought before it a few of the minor charges I omitted the graver ones, as it is not the policy of the association to destroy Dr. Waltron. Mr. Murray knows how Dr. Waldron has dodged the appeals made to him by the various employees of the government. He knows that since Dr. Waldron began his mad chase for office that he has not only done nothing for the race, but has even indorsed the wrongs we suffer. In the infamous speech Dr. Waldron made at Richmond on March 27, he said the segregators, the Jim Crowists, the lynchers, and the Bourbon oppressors of the Negro are the Negro's best friends. He also put the blame of the infamous Grandfather clause, and other disfranchisement upon the Negro. A hundred copies of this speech were sent to Southern Senators in order to get their support for confirmation. But they knew the Doctor's cheap political trick. No one had abused these same men in the past more than the "humble pastor." Dr. Waldron is the type of Negro that is doing the race infinite harm. Here he was president of our local branch of the N. A. A. C. P., and instead of spending his time and energy aiding those noble 'people in New York and elsewhere in their efforts to help us, he spent it begging them for personal favors, and for support for his selfish political ambitions. After indorsing all of the wrongs this organization was created to fight, he insisted upon remaining president of our local branch. Could we do else than expel him? Could the national body do else than endorse the dismissal we gave him? The doctor often said "I am but an humble pastor, laboring for God and my people, and I wouldn't have any office in the gift of the President." Yet all the time he was making this pious declaration in solemn ministerial tone, he was busy "double-crossing" friends, forsaking race and this noble cause, and trying to "use" our noble friends; all for his selfish political advancement. He tried to secure a number of delays. After stating many times he only wanted until July 1st to present his side, he wasn't even ready August 5. After failing to secure further delays by tricks he sent Friday II. M. Murray, and the association had to pay his way, thus using money that it needs in this worthy cause. Editor Trotter and Friday Murray have steadfastly refused to publish anything about Dr. Waldron's Richmond "lay down." Yet they claim to be consistent race champions. I therefore ask that you publish this in your columns. Very truly, NEVAL II. THOMAS. Sergeant Edward McMurin Is Dead. I loved him well, But Jesus loved him best, And has taken my brother.

NEW NAMES ADDED TO THE DAIRY LIST The Number of Those Who Have Scored Over 70 Per Cent. (Greensboro, N. C., Recorder.) Since Dr. E. E. Lull, city meat and milk inspector, announced that each month he will compute and publish the list of the dairymen of this community who scored over 70 per cent. in the sanitary inspection, there has developed a keener spirit of rivalry for cleanliness among the people of the industry. The list of those who come within the percentage named is longer this month than last as a result. As last month, the Colored A. & M. College leads the list, with the State Normal College a close second. The complete list of the dairymen selling on the Greensboro market whose plants show 70 per cent. or over in sanitation and general cleanliness in stable condition and in handling their product, follows: A. & M. College. Normal College. Mrs. J. F. Stephens. Judge Adams. W. M. Clark & Sons. H. S. Hudson. W. F. Clarida. Tom Pemberton. H. Hunter. THE DAY IS COMING. A little while, 'twill all be o'er, This racial rivalry will cease; When prejudice is set aside, And mind to mind will meet in peace. The day is coming, and not far, The dawn is now at hand; When master minds of every race, Will meet and understand. 'Twill be a glorious Congress too, Each member in his place; Working breast to breast for right, Regardless of his brother's race. Faint hearts, take courage and look up; Our victory is almost won; The goal's in sight, be patient, wait, A little while, 'twill all be done. ANNIE LAURENCE LUCAS. 1208 S St. N. W.

There was a social function given for the younger set at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Choates, of Fairmount, Heights, Md., Thursday night, Sept. 18, in honor of Master Andrew B. Veal, the nephew of Mr. A. J. Choates, who is here this winter, from Macon, Ga., and is now attending the Armstrong Manual Training School. It was a grand affair. They had everything their hearts could wish. The table was nicely decorated with green and flowers; ice cream, hot chocolate, fruits, lemonade, candies etc., were served in abundance. Among those present as invited guests were Mr. Andrew B. Veal, Misses Louise Marshall, Lillian Knight, Emma Payne, Inez Davis, Victoria Floyd, Phoebe Hart, Miss Williams, Marie Choates, Berdelle Boozer, Masters Charles Coles, Jas. A. Armstrong, Arthur Harris, Chester Simms, Roswell Pinkney, Dantes Knight, Eddie Jones and Lewis Brown. At 10 o'clock the young people sang "Home Sweet Home" and left, but holding themselves in an "acceptive" mood in case such generous invitations should come around soon. Mrs. C. L. Marshall, who has been spending her vacation with relatives and friends down in "Old Virginia," returned a few days ago, looking very much improved by the long rest. Mrs. Marshall keeps the sanitary grocery store here. She keeps every commodity nice and fresh. The people, to a great extent, appreciate the presence of a good store house. The Fairmount Heights school has an enrollment of 120 pupils. The enrollment, we believe, will reach 200 before December 26. The rally at the M. E. Church began Sunday, September 21. Rev. W. C. Thompson, pastor of Mt. Zion M. E. Church, was out, together with some of his brethren. The severe storm rendered the meeting somewhat small, but Rev. W. C. Thompson promised Rev. O. C. Sprague that he would come over and help us at another time. Next Sunday, September 28, Rev. Dr. M. W. Clair, D. D., pastor of Asbury M. E. Church, has kindly consented to preach for the M. E. Church. He will preach at 3 o'clock. His choir and congregation have been invited to attend and sing at the service. Col. Steward M. Lewis and Mr. C. H. Fonville are doing some repair work on the streets and sidewalks. The matter of the congested condition in the Fairmount Heights school will come up before the Council School Commission at its next meeting. Dr. Laura Killingsworth is vaccinating children in the Fairmount Heights school. She is quite a success. The children have been ordered to provide themselves with individual drinking cups or glasses. Mr. J. T. Williams, vice-president and supervisor of the colored schools of Prince George's County, is taking great interest in the education of the Negro race in this county. In addition to his duty as vice-principal of the Normal School at Bowie, he visited during the school year 1911-1912 colored schools, and ordered the establishment of industrial training in all of said schools. His work during the past school year has covered a greater scope. He also takes a great interest in finding positions for competent persons as teachers. The official Board of the M E.

Mrs. Blanche Lewis is reported as being much improved. She is still at the Freedman's Hospital. Rev. Levi P. Washington preached and his choir sang at the M. E. Church Tuesday night, September 23, for the benefit of the rally. They took up quite a handsome purse. Mrs. Ada Armstrong invites every Alabamaian in Washington, D.C., and suburbs, to send her a donation for the rally, and also invites them to meet her in the lecture room of the M. E. Church here Sunday. October 12, at 2 P. M., sharp. They are urged to be present. Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Campbell have just returned from a two weeks vacation for Mrs. Campbell. She spent most of her time up in Maryland. While there she visited her parents and many friends. We are glad to welcome all our friends who have been away on their vacations. The Segregation in Washington Departments. (From the N. Y. Evening Post.) When Senator Clapp introduced his resolution in the Senate to inquire into the segregation of races in the Government Departments, the newspapers were assured by "one official of the Treasury Department" that no "formal" order calling for segregation had been issued. This "assurance," in the face of the fact that, "for colored men" and "for colored women" signs were conspicuous over two toilet rooms in the basement of the Treasury Department, to say the least, was a near approach to toying with the truth. Later, prompted by the resolution of Senator Clapp, the strong protest from the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and from colored men throughout the country, the signs were removed, but, prompt upon the removal of these odious, insulting signs, came a "formal" order, as follows: "To Superintendents and Chiefs of Divisions, Office Superintendent Supervising Architect: "Gentlement: Referring to the notices of July 15, last, to the effect that toilet rooms for the exclusive use of colored employees have been provided in the northeast corner, basement floor, 'of the Treasury building, you are advised that information has just been received from the Chief Clerk's office to the effect that said order is still in force."

This great invention is scientifically manufactured of highly magnified steel, and never fail to cleanse the scalp of all unnatural matter and impurities. The use of the comb, besides ridding the scalp of dandruff and dirt, destroys the germs that cause all the trouble. It promotes the circulation of blood on the scalp. It cultivates the roots and produces a new growth of long, luxurious, soft and glossy hair. NOTE.—Madam G. A.

(Signed) EXECUTIVE OFFICER." The foregoing "formal" order in itself testified to the issuance of a "formal" order which a Treasury official had denied. Lest there be some doubt as to the actual issuing of a "formal" segregation order, I submit here verbatim copy of that "formal" order. "Treasury Department, Office of the Secretary, July 12, 1913. James L. Wilmeth, Chief Clerk, Treasury Department. I "Dear Sir! I think it would be best for this Department if you should make arrangements by which white and colored employees, of this Department shall use different toilet rooms. Please arrange accordingly. (Signed) L. S. WILLIAMS. With these two signed orders in evidence, I cannot see how Treasury Department officials can deny, or attempt to delude sane people, the issuance of a "formal" segregation order. These orders speak for themselves, and constitute an indictment of the Treasury officials for ordering segregation, as Senator Clapp stated in his resolution, after fifty years of harmonious working side by side of Government employees. Possibly Mr. Williams can explain the real difference between a "formal" order signed and a signed "formal" order. RALPH W. TYLER. Mrs. B. T. Washington to be Guest of Exclusive White Club.

A mo gage hangs over the home, which the trustees for years have been trying to pay off. For lack of funds, the beautiful, historical old homes is rapidly falling into decay. It was the duty of the trustees to fall into the hands of the white man, or we are valuable furniture, books, papers, works of art and curios collected by Mr. Douglass to become lost through decay because the race he labored so hard to make free lacked sufficient respect and reverence for his memory to pay off the debt on his property.
