IF IT'S NEWS, IT'S IN THE BEE, FOR THE BEE IS A NEWSPAPER. THE BEE WASHINGTON Washington's Best and Leading Negro Newspaper-That's THE BEE THE GREAT NORMAN Greeted by 2,000 People—President J. W. Lewis Introduces Editor W. Calvin Chase as Presiding Officer. Madam Bruce Electrified Her Audience—Dozens Turned Away—Choir Sings Under the Direction of Prof. Green. Two thousand people crowded into the Metropolitan Baptist Church last Monday night and several dozens were turned away, because the church was overtaxed. The admission was ten cents a head, and the occasion was the opening of the church fair and lecture of Rev. M. W. D. Norman, one of the greatest pulpit orators in the United States and pastor of the Metropolitan Baptist Church. Rev. Norman's subject was: The Black Man's Burden. The program was an organ prelude and selection by the choir under the direction of Mr. Green. Followed by Mr. J. W. Lewis, president of the Industrial Savings Bank, introducing Editor and Lawyer W. Calvin Chase, of The Bee, as master of ceremonies. Solo by Madame E. L. Bruce, the Oklahoma nightingale, of Muskogee. She electrified her audience. Rev. C. H. Parker offered prayer. Mr. Chase, the presiding officer, stated the object of the meeting by saying that the promoters were endearing to stimulate a business interest among the colored citizens of the city. He paid a high tribute to President Lewis, and the officers of the Industrial Bank, and urged unison among the people if they would succeed. That President Lewis, who but a few years ago was a common hod carrier, and when I say hod carrier, remarked Mr. Chase, I mean no reflection upon the man who today stands head and front above all competitors in the banking business. He has succeeded where others have failed. He has out generalled the Howard, Amherst, and all other col- J. lege graduates in the line of business in which he is engaged. Now, said the presiding officer, I want to introduce a real man to this vast audience. A man who has taken the place of Douglass, of Langston, Bruce and others whose eloquence, logic and other qualities have made him the greatest logician in the United States and the master of logic, eloquence and true manhood. Rev. Norman, who will speak on The Black Man's Burdens. Rev. Norman said as follows: Rev. Norman said as follows: We, the colored people of this country, are living under peculiar circumstances. Perhaps no race in the history of races has been so hedged about and so situated, due largely, perhaps, to the institution of slavery and color, but all attempts, however, to place the Negro outside of the human family, whether by writers of ethnology, anthropology or the latter-day saint, have utterly failed, and the Bible version is still the belief of the majority of fair-minded and conscientious men and women throughout the land. It is plainly stated that God created man—"male and female created He them and that He breathed into their nostrils the breath of life and man became a living soul." Therefore, Adam and Eve were the parents of all generations, whatever their color, creed or condition. Those who do not believe, he creation theory and teach the evolutionary view are unable to find a missing link, and, of course, nobody would for a minute believe the Negro to be the missing link. For, if so, the missing link is as intelligent, when given the proper chance, as anybody else, and can live and thrive in any country among any people and under the most severe hardships. In the days of the flood, all that had life perished in the waters of the flood with the exception of Noah, his wife, his three sons and their wives, eight in all. So from the sons of Noah we have the three great families. These sons, although many tribes sprang from them, were the three great heads of all subsequent races of men. We find later on in the Bible that the descendants of these progenitors became a great na- tions having one language, and attempted to build a tower, in order, perhaps, to escape any further flood that might visit the earth. The Lord "scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth and they left off to build the city;" therefore is the name of it called Babel, because the Lord did there confuse the language of all the earth, and from thence did the Lord scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth." It is really preposterous to contend that the black races were not included, for it is clearly evident that we are the descendants of Ham and the children of brothers are first cousins, and certainly then members of the same race. That Roman Jew, than whom the church has not produced a greater or higher authority, and who, after his conversion, spoke with divine authority, or as moved upon by the Holy Ghost, visited Athens, the eye of Greece, and the fountain of learning and philosophy, there and then, with authority, he told the men of Athens that as he traveled through their city and observed its charms and attractions and noted the claims of its citizens to scholarship and culture, he had also observed an altar erected to the unknown God and he desired, and did proceed, to call their attention to the fact that the eternal God, Whose offsprings they were, Who had created all nations of men for to dwell upon the face of the earth, out of one blood, and had determined the bonds of their habitation—so then we see from the reasoning of the great apostle of the Gentiles that all nations of men were made of one blood and are therefore kin and, in a sense, then, we are responsible for each other, for the blood of righteous Abel, outraged by Cain, still cries unto God. As a race of people, however, living here in America, we are peculiarly situated and in many respects hedged about. Although Americans, not aliens, not immigrants, but original Americans, we are not treated as such, and yet and still we are Ameri- (Continued to page 7.) THE BLACK CAVALRY. The. Citizens Honor Their. Braves. Lieut. Clark Makes the Principal Address—F. D. Lee, the Promoter, Opens the Meeting. One of the largest crowds of patriots assembled in Convention Hall Tuesday evening that has ever graced the walls of that great edifice. It was an assembly of the citizens of this city to do honor to the brave Tenth Cavalry, which is so famous in American history. Mr. F. D. Lee, the promoter of this great demonstration, took the initiative the moment it was announced that these great fighters would visit the city and called into conference several well known citizens who arranged to welcome them. Dr. C. W. Childs, after the opening of the meeting by Chairman Lee, with a timely address, introduced him as the presiding officer. Dr. Childs delivered a most eloquent address and introduced as the speaker of the evening. Lieut. Thomas H. R. Clark, who delivered a most historical address. Prof. George W. Cook, of Howard University, was introduced and read two letters, one from the Secretary "GOT'EM CAGED AFTER ALL" of War, and the other from Senator J. B. Foraker. The latter letter was the signal for a long and enthusiastic demonstration. It was fully five minutes before order was restored, so great was the enthusiasm. Editor W. Calvin Chase, of The Bee, was next introduced, who had been designated to introduce Gen. Andrew S. Burke. General Burk was referred to as a friend of humanity and a veterah of four wars. When history unfurled its scroll of fame and the spirits of the gallant 25th appear before Him who controls the destinies of nations. Sergeant Mingo Saunders will appear before Him and the verdict will be NOT GUILTY. Then General Burk, who led those brave soldiers-to many victories will get his reward. He is a man and a soldier, and it is a pleasure to me to introduce a brave man and a soldier whose honor is above all earthly dignities. General Burk was greeted with an enthusiastic applause. He spoke for fifteen minutes, extolling the virtues and bravery of the gallant 25th, who were so unjustly discharged from the army. His address was a fine tribute to the Negro soldier. General Leonard Wood, who was called to the platform, and who was next introduced by General Burk. General Wood received a great ovation as he stepped to the front of the stage. He paid a most eloquent tribute to the 10th Cavalry, whose record he said is equal to any in the service. He called out by name several who were in the audience who served in former years in this famous cavalry. "The 10th Cavalry," said Gen. Wood, "is one of the best in the army. I do not know of a regiment that has a brighter record than the Tenth. I have known of it since the first day I reported at an army post. The Tenth was a part of my brigade in the Santiago campaign in the recent war with Spain. We all appreciate the merit of our colored troops and they have always been as efficient and brave as any we ever had." Capt. Frank R. McCoy, of the Third Cavalry, represented the Secretary of War. Mr. John H. Payton was the next speaker. His address was highly commended for eloquence and thought. Music was furnished by the Cavalry band and Hoffman's Orchestra. Correspondent H. M. Murray, Dr. C. W. Childs, James Harris, M. C. Maxfield and others deserve the highest praise for the success of the reception to the famous cavalry. At the conclusion of the speaking the floor was cleared and dancing was continued until 1 P. M. Many of the gowns worn by the ladies were beautiful and fascinating. Among some of the most prominent were Assistant Superintendent of Schools R. C. Bruce, Misses Goneva B. Maxfield, Florence Brooks, Mesdames A. M. Curtis, Julia M. Layton, Major Arthur Brooks, Mrs. Childs, wife of Dr. Childs, Mr. Charles Chestnut, of Cleveland, Ohio; Mr. Wm. H. Clifford, Assistant United States Attorney James A. Cobb, Attorneys Thomas L. Jones, A. W. Scott, Prof. J. T. Layton, Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Napier; the latter received an ovation when he entered the hall; Mr. and Mrs. M. C. Maxfield, Mr. Anderson and daughters, Mr. Louis Johnson, of the Y. M. C. A., and many others. ZION BAPTIST CHURCH SUNDAY SCHOOL. Report of the Secretary. On Sunday, September 21st last, Miss J. T. Henson, secretary of the Zion Baptist Church Sunday School, submitted the following report for the year ending July 31, 1913: Amount of cash collected from all sources..... $410.37 Amount expended..... 358.71 Balance in hands of treasurer ..... $51.66 Amount on deposit in bank... $157.49 The greater portion of the money expended during the year was for charitable purposes, such as relieving sick and distressed persons, as well as aiding schools, institutions and religious organizations. The superintendents of the several departments of the school report that during the year they have done much arduous but successful work. Attention is specially invited to the work of the Home and Cradle Departments, which must be built up outside of the regular sessions of the Sunday school. To one or the other of these departments both young and old should be attached. To the rolls of the various departments of the school there have been added more than one hundred names. Eighteen of the more promising pupils, for whom long and earnest prayer had been offered, were baptized and received into the church. The property of the school consists of one library case with 300 volumes of good reading matter; piano and stool; a stereopticon machine with over 200 slides; secretary's desk; 100 small chairs for beginners; one large curtain; one dozen large pictures; two blackboards; 200 song books; apparatus for building stage; scenery, settings and decorations for same. A word in memory of those who have departed: "They are not dead, these ones of our affection, But gone unto that school, Where they no longer need our poor protection, And Christ Himself doth rule." Among these bright angels is Mrs. Letitia Bingham, who was a member of the Home Department. She fought long and well. Like most of the members of the Home Department, she was unable to attend the regular sessions, but she loved us, contributed liberally toward our financial success, and attended the teachers' meetings for study and preparation. "Her work is done Her crown is won." For success during the present year, the help and prayers of all are most earnest solicited. MR. CHARLES W. CHESTNUT Before Our School Teachers. On last Wednesday afternoon in the assembly hall of the M Street High School and in the presence of the entire body of our local public school teachers, Mr. Charles W. Chestnut delivered a most effective address. He was introduced by Mr. R. C. Bruce, assistant superintendent of schools, who with Dr. C. W. Childs occupied seats on the rostrum with the speaker. Musical selections were given by Misses L. Wallace and J. C. Williamson. A set of resolutions expressing the esteem in which this noted author is held was adopted. They were as follows: "The teachers of the tenth, eleventh, twelfth and thirteenth divisions of the Public Schools of the District of Columbia, in meeting assembled, adopted the following resolutions as an appreciation of the work of Charles Waddell Chesnut, of Cleveland, O.:" "Whereas, the erroneous American' view of the colored man as a creature of an alien humanity and of rudimentary spiritual life, accounts in large degree of the cruel caste limitations placed upon the colored citizens of the United States; and whereas, "We feel that a clear social vision and a broader charity would come to our white fellow countrymen from a better understanding of the soul of the colored man; "And since Charles Waddell Chesnut, through searching analysis of the spirit of the colored man, and through delicate and sympathetic portrayal of the same in novel and in public utterance, has done his country distinguished service by stimulating in Americans a thoughtful responsiveness to the demands of a common humanity and a common social destiny; therefore, be it "Resolved, that we, the teachers of the tenth, eleventh, twelfth and thirteenth divisions of the Public Schools of the District of Columbia, who, in common with other Americans, have profited from the deep social truth, the wealth of humanity, the direct sincerity, and the simple beauty of the writings of Mr. Chessnut, do hereby express our appreciation for his interpretation to all human kind of the spiritual strivings within the group of which we are a part. "Be it resolved further, that a copy of these resolutions be engrossed and given to Mr. Chesnutt as a reminder of the high esteem in which his work is held by the colored teachers of Washington, D. C. (Signed) "Committee: Otelia Cromwell, A. W. Grimke, K. C. Lewis, L. E. Wilkes, M. E. Gibbs, F. E. Parks, M. Grant Lucas, C. R. Shippen, A. O. Stafford, J. C. Bruce, G. G. Woodson, J. W.

C., Sept. 24, 1913. Mr. W. D. Johnson, Box 2401, Station G, Washington, D. C. Dear Mr. Johnson: I wish to thank you for your generous appreciation of the article which appeared in The Bee. I am asking Mr. La Follette's secretary to send you the numbers of our magazine in which "The Color Line" appeared, and other numbers that perhaps will be of interest to you. Last week I sent to the magazine for publication a letter from Mr. Tyler, which represents your point of view; otherwise, I should have published your letter in full. As it is, I shall take the liberty of making extracts from it later. Very truly yours, BELLE C. LA FOLLETTE. DR.B.T. WASHINGTON Makes Correction—What He Said. To the Editor The Washington Bee: As is often the case, I find that in my recent address before the National Baptist Convention in Nashville I omitted the most important part. May I take advantage of your generosity to state that which I meant to have said in Nashville. It is this: Our race suffers immensely because of the constant repetition in the daily press of Negro crime and misfortune. In most cases, when any member of our race is mentioned in the daily press it is usually because of some crime committed against that individual, or because of crime committed directly or indirectly by that individual. We should seek to overcome this hurtful influence by having in every community an organized effort in churches, business leagues and social and literary organizations that shall have for its object putting into the daily press accounts of the progress of our people in material, educational, religious and social directions. Some individual should be appointed in every community whose duty it is to give to the white-press day by day and week by week in concrete, readable form the news concerning our race that indicates our progress in constructive directions. This will overcome the hurtful influence of the constant repetition of news relating alone to Negro crime. I am convinced that the daily press in the majority of cases publishes criminal news because of the absence of something better. We cannot rely upon the repotters of the daily press to get this news; we must prepare it and give it directly to the papers ourselves. In all my experience in connection with the public press, I have never seen a case where a meeting of a Negro organization was so well and widely reported as was true of the National Baptist Convention recently held in Nashville. Each of the three daily papers in Nashville had a colored reporter present at all the sessions of the convention, and these colored reporters were given all the space in the newspapers that they wanted, in some cases four and five columns were printed for them: In this regard due credit should be given to the colored men who are making a business of reporting the proceedings of colored organizations. Due credit should be given to that persistent and worthy band of young colored men who have worked themselves up to the point where they have been designated as regular and paid reporters on the daily press. We should have such a reporter on every daily newspaper or we should have some one whose duty it is to keep before the public the best that occurs in our race. All this will help immensely to change public opinion. (Signed) Booker T. Washington. Concert Orchestra. The 'delightful program presented, and the really meritorious work done by the newly organized Washington Concert Orchestra, under the direction of Mr. Harry A. Williams, at True Reformers' Hall last Sunday afternoon, combined to present a most gratifying surprise to the large audience of music lovers that had assembled to listen to the public rehearsal offered for their enjoyment. Though making no claim to finished conception or treatment of all the music essayed, the organization being still in its infancy, yet this initial effort of Sunday clearly demonstrated the wonderful possibilities of the Negro in the field of higher music development. Such a movement ought to appeal to the heartiest endorsement and support of every music lover in the community to the end that in the near future Washington can make the boast that no other city in this country can lay claim to that of having a full-fledged symphony orchestra of Negro musicians. The orchestra has in preparation several important works which will be presented during the series of concerts contemplated for the present season. Among them may be mentioned the Schumann A Minor Concerto for piano, and the Mendelssohn Violin Concerto—the latter with Mr. Felix Weir as soloist. The first concert will take place early in December. The program presented Sunday afternoon was the following: Program. March, "Hail to the Spirit of Liberty"—Sousa. Selection from The Chocolate Soldier-Straus. Cauzonetta—Nicode. Overture—Poet and Peasant—von Suppe. Intermezzo—"My Lady's Fan"—Rosamond Johnson. Medley of Popular Hits, arr. by Schulz. Schulz. March, "Our Favorite Regiment" Ertl. Harry Williams Resigned. Mr. Harry A. Williams, who has been connected with the Conservatory of Music for some time, has resigned and has opened a studio at 1944 9th Street Northwest, where he is prepared to teach voice culture, French and Italian. Mr. Williams is one of the most accomplished musicians in the United States. Call and see him. CUBAN POLITICS IN CHAOTIC SHAPE Ability to Get Jobs Valuable Asset on the Island—Former President Gomez Popular With the Masses, Not Adverse to Serving Again—Conditions Are Summed Up In Nutshell. Hayana, Cuba. Many in close touch with the ins and outs of Cuban conditions, political and commercial, believe the republic faces the most serious problem since the American flag was lowered from the national palace. It will require skilled diplomacy, political craft and a firmness yet unknown in Cuban affairs to bring about a stable solution. It is generally believed that President Menocal is strong enough to tide his administration over, but it is also conceded that he has a strenuous proposition on his hands. He is apparently trying to give an honest and capable administration, opposite to what many politicians and their adherents want. The successful politician in Latin America, especially Cuba, is he who can provide the most jobs for his constituency. Ability to get jobs is a valuable political asset. The average benchman knows little and cares less about matters of state. He wants to get on the government payroll, and he doesn't relish any position that requires much physical exertion. Briefly, Cuba at present faces conditions that might be subdivided into four parts: First.—A chaotic political condition and the attempt of professional politicians and those who crave power to overthrow the influence of and discredit the Menocal administration. Second.—The action of congress in refusing to accede to the wishes of the president and temper the "immunity clause" of the constitution so that its members would not be entirely immune from civil courts. Third.-The recent presidential decrees that dissolved the Ports Company of Cuba and annulled millions of invested foreign 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 political factions have selzed upon for campaign material to stir up discontent in the army. Cuban politics probably has not been so thoroughly stirred up and disorganized since President Taft and Dr. Alfredo Zayas overthrew the Estrada Palma administration and set up the government of 1906. The last presidential election shattered the Liberal party. The "patriotic conjunction," composed of Conservatives and "Asertistas," exiles from all parties, elected Menocal. His inauguration in turn shattered the Conservatives, so that now he might be called a president without a party. It is generally conceded that the party is broken up beyond reorganization. The last conference of the leaders resulted in widening factional breaches, and Dr. Enrique Jose Verona, vice president of Cuba and president of the Conservatives, 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 enscroced in political jobs. The "Asbertistas" also wanted a pro rata of jobs for their part in the "patriotic conjunction." Instead of listening to party clamor, Menocal set about presiding in a business way. Where a man of opposite faith was efficient he was retained in office. This policy was also adopted by Colonel Charles Hernandez, the new postmaster general. This line of official conduct could not be reasoned out by the politicians; consequently the howl they raised could be heard from one end of the island to the other. A senator from an interior province, soon after Menocal 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 they 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. Rita, chief of the national police. Under 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 his strong influence and sought to wield the "big stick," but congress simply "set down in harmess" and asked, "What are you going to do about it?" Anti-administration forces rallied to congress and prevented a quorum, and the president was left high and dry. In the meantime the hearing continues. "Deaf Mutea" on the Run. Sacramento, Cal.—Motorcycle Policeman Brown chased a couple on another motorcycle eighteen miles the other night. When Brown overtook them and, began a lecture on the evils of speeding, the man pulled out a pad and wrote. "We are deaf mutes and thought you were a robber." Attorney Announces He Is to Be Tried Again In Szabo Case. Goshen, N. Y.-Burton W. Gibson, who has been tried twice by Orange county jurists on the charge of having caused the death of Mrs. Rosa Menschik Szabo on Greenwood lake on July 16, 1912, will soon be tried again. Robert H. Elder, his attorney, said that District Attorney J. D. Wilson, Jr., of Newburg, intended placing Gibson on trial for a third time at the term of the supreme court to convene in Goshen in the latter part of October. He said he would be Gibson's attorney again and that Henry Kohl of Newburg and Jacob J. Singer of Jersey City would be associated with him. A conference will be held by Gibson's lawyers, when the case will be discussed in detail. Mr. Elder said an entire new defense would be entered at the third trial, which, in his opinion, would be more favorable to Gibson than the defense in either of the two trials in which the jurors disagreed. Gibson is in good health. He exercises daily with dumbbells. AVIATOR LOOPS THE LOOP. French Aeroplanist Turns Somersault In the Air With Safety. Juviay, France.-A French aviator named Pegoud "looped the loop" while flying at a height of 1,500 feet in his aeroplane. He afterward descended without injury. Pegoud, who recently caused a sensation by dropping safely from an aeroplane with a parachute, had announced that he intended to turn a somersault in the air with his aeroplane, and his movements after his ascent were followed closely by a large body of observers. When Pegoud had reached a height of about 3,000 feet he turned the nose of his machine straight toward the earth and darted downward with his motor working at full power. After plunging about 1,200 feet with frightful velocity Pegoud changed the position of his rudder and caused the aeroplane to turn a complete vertical circle. The machine then glided down in a huge spiral volplane and alighted gently on the ground. FIRST WIFE'S SPIRIT IN PLOT, HE ASSERTS Advised Him to Transfer Property to No. 2, Veteran Says. St. Louls.-Stephen F. Garlock's determination to expose an alleged conspiracy between his wife of the flesh, Mary, and the materialized spirit of his first wife, was revealed when he started an action for a divorce. He is sixty-nine years old and a civil war veteran. His principal charge is that his wife invigored him into a spiritualistic seance and there called up the spirit of his dead wife, who advised him to transfer his real estate to the living wife. The petition does not set out in detail all that transpired at the seance. It recites that when he refused to sign away his property as directed by the spirit of his first wife the second wife, in the presence of all the real and materialized spirits, called him "an uneducated, unrefined and ignorant fool," causing him great humiliation. It was through the influence of a daughter by his first marriage that he was prevented from signing the deed, according to Mr. Garlock. The petition alleges that, failing to get his property in this way, Mrs. Garlock persuaded him to give a note to her for $500, secured by deed of trust on real estate, and that a week later she had the locks on the doors of his room changed and bolted him out. BASEBALL BY WIRELESS. Service Given to Sailors In Navy Is a Great Success. Washington.—The United States aerial "news service," whereby officers and men on United States warships far out at sea are kept informed each night of the baseball scores and other items of interest, has proved a great success. Reports to the navy department from the battleship Illinois, which has just returned to home waters with a big party of midshipmen, declare that the reports were picked up readily by the vessel when it was 2,175 nautical miles out at sea from the navy's powerful station at Arlington, Va., and 2,610 miles distant from the station at Key West. The battleship also reported intercepting wireless messages from European stations. OLD COLLIER FOR SALE Was a Merchant Ship Purchased For Use in Spanish War. Washington—The collier Alexander, one of the many merchant ships purchased for the Spanish-American war, has been stricken from the naval list and is for sale. The vessel was built in England in 1894, is a steel schooner of 1,181 tons displacement, 848 feet long and forty-two foot beam and is fitted out with 1,000 horsepower vertical triple engines. For some years past the Alexander has served as a fuel ship for the Anaclit fleet. At present she is lying off Olongapo, Philippine. TO RECORD HEART ACTION ON FILM USE ELECTROCARDIOGRAPH Prisoner Caught Through Confession Made by Ally When He Thought Death Was Near—Crime Fourteen Years Old—Believe Instrument Will Tell True Story of Killing. Omaha, Neb.—As the result of a confession made by another man on what he supposed was to be his deathbed Charles Kott of Vallejo, Cal., is to be brought back to Nebraska and tried for the murder of Julian Buhuard, a murder, of Julian, Neb., fourteen years ago. On a charge of being implicated in the same crime Fuller Shellenberger of Burlington, Kan., also will be tried, the prosecution being based on the confession, made when he thought he was dying, last July after being prostrated by heat. In questioning Kotf about the murder the authorities will use a very delicate instrument known as the electrocardiograph, which records on a motion picture film the electric impulse generated by the human heart under the stress of emotions. Evidence thus recorded would not be admitted during a trial of a person for murder, but the record will be valuable for scientific reasons. There are only five electrocardiographs in America, four being in the east and the one to be used on Kott belonging at the University of Nebraska. The instrument records the heart's fluctuations through a fiber so delicate it cannot be seen by the naked eye. The movement of the fiber is therefore passed through a small telescope, and by the aid of an electric arc lamp its shadow is recorded on the film. The instrument was invented by Professor Einthoven of Leyden, Holland. According to Shellenberger's confession, Buhuar kept his money in a tin can, which was cut open with a hatchet after the aged miner had been slain. In removing the money from the can, Shellenberger says, Kotf cut one of his hands so badly on the jagged tin that a scar was left and may be seen today. In examining Kotf the authorities will show him a can like the one described by Shellenberger and without letting him know Shellenberger has made a confession will refer to things of which Shellenberger spoke concerning the crime. Scientists say he may be able to control his facial expression and appear perfectly calm, but that the electrocardiograph nevertheless will record the telltale variations in the beating of his heart as he hears or looks upon things.associated with the murder. Shellenberger has repudiated his confession, saying he was delirious when he made it. He is in a Nebraska jail, however, and must face trial. Koff has been employed at the Mare Island navy yard at San Francisco for the last nine years. After Shellenberger confessed detectives took up Koff's trail and arrested him. SEES WILSON ON TOY MAIL Philadelphia Girl Asks Him to Back Plan to Befriend Children. Washington.—President Wilson granted an interview to Miss Olive May Wilson, the seventeen-year-old girl from Jenkintown, a suburb of Philadelphia, who came to Washington to ask public men to indorse her project for sending toys through the mails next Christmas to 5,000 destitute boys and girls of Philadelphia. Miss Wilson told the president of her ambition to develop the mall distribution of toys into a national undertaking, and Mr. Wilson promised to consider her plan before officially indorsing it as president. She has already obtained the support of Vice President Marshall. FRIGHT CURES HIS ACHES. Rheumatism Vanishes When Horse Has Tail Snatched Off. Baraboo, Wis.—A team belonging to Floyd Townsend was driven near a thrashing machine in Montfort, and when the horse nearest swished his tail at the files the appendage was drawn into the machine, and every hair was pulled out. William Bowers, the driver, was thrown from the load and narrowly escaped death when the animal plunged. Christopher Neuroth, aged and bent with rheumatism, was on the rear of the load and when the excitement was over stood straighter than he had for years. His rheumatism was gone. $650,000 NECKLACE SOLD. Famous Pearls to Be Brought to This Country. London.—The Brussels Telegram states that Max Mayer's famous $650,000 pearl necklace has been purchased by Count de Monteau on behalf of another person and that the count is about to sail for America with the necklace. The necklace was lost recently and was picked up in the street by a workman, who was so ignorant of its value that he tried to sell one of the pearls for a glass of beer. SAYS WHALEY BOUGHT SEAT Mayor Grace of Charleston Acouses South Carolina Representative. Washington—John P. Grace, mayor of Charleston, S. C., has filed with Speaker Clark a sensational petition under oath in which he charges that Representative Richard S. Whaley, Democratic member of congress from the first South Carolina district, bought his seat, alleging that during the campaign. Mr. Whaley spent $60,000. Mayor Grace demands that the right of Mr. Whaley to retain his seat be investigated and that expulsion follow if charges are substantiated. The federal campaign publicity law prohibits the expenditure of more than JOHN H. HARRIS REPRESENTATIVE WHALEY. $5,000 by a candidate for congress in any campaign. According to Grace's charge, Mr. Whaley spent an average of $10 for every vote he received. The petition was referred to the house elections committee. Mr. Whaley has denied every charge. He asserts that he never had $60,000 in all his life. This is the first time that a statement of any candidate for congress filed under the campaign publicity acts has ever been questioned. Baltimore:Having bagged 80,000,-000,000 malignant germs in the wilds of Ecuador and Peru, Dr. Andrew Watson Sellards of Johns Hopkins university and his associates have landed their prey in this country, and forthwith will proceed to make a scientific study of the creatures at short range. His colleagues were Richard B. Strong, Dr. E. E. Tyzzer and Dr. Charles Brues, all of Harvard university, and Miss Nora Dwyer. Miss Dwyer was a noncombatant and, it is said, did not participate in the actual warfare on the germs. She was the secretary of the expedition and later on was intrusted with the guarding of the captives. Among the 80,000,000,000 germs are pellagra, oroya fever, yellow fever, bubonic plague, typhoid fever, a collection known as uta, which is really South American leprosy, and the dreaded blackwater fever. The germs, all carefully crated, were admitted to the United States as "South American curiosities" and were shipped to Harvard college. MINIMUM WAGE IN OREGON. Not Less Than $9.25 Nor Over Fifty Hours Weekly For Women. Portland, Ore.—The industrial welfare commission of Oregon has adopted a ruling which will become a law Nov. 23, fixing a minimum wage of $9.25 a week for adult women clerks who are not apprentices, defining eight hours and twenty minutes as the maximum day's work and fifty hours as the maximum for a week and making 6 p. m. the latest hour at which any woman may be employed on any day of the year in a mercantile establishment. The order automatically eliminates Saturday night shopping and Christmas holiday night shopping in such establishments. SOCIETY WOMEN ON JURY. Judge Draws Panel From the Blue Book and Social Register. Chicago.—Judge John E. Owens got down the Blue Book and the Social Register and drew a jury of women whose names frequently appear in the society columns to sit in the court for the insane. Only one of them had ever served on a jury. In one case they heard the story of an old woman who, because her mind was beginning to weaken, was not wanted any more in the home she had occupied for many years. At first very shy before so many fashionably dressed women, she found it hard to talk when the judge questioned her. INCOME TAX HAS VERY WIDE SCOPE WILL PUNISH ALL DODGERS. Government Requires That All of the Returns Be Made Under Oath—Extent of the Law Is Broad—All Who Are Liable and Fail to Make Payment Will Be Fined. Washington.—It now behooves all those with an income of more than $3,000 a year to lay a hand upon a furrowed brow and try to find out how they are going to pay the income tax to the government and what will happen to them if they do not. Representative Cordell Hull of Tennessee, who framed the income tax bill, issued a statement intended to help the taxable persons, and the internal revenue bureau of the treasury department is already at work on a set of instructions which will be issued later. In the first place, the law about to go into effect includes within its scope all citizens of the United States residing at home or abroad, all persons living in the United States though not citizens thereof and all net incomes from property and business owned or carried on in the United States by aliens. In every case a deduction of $3,000 is allowed for living expenses. In the case of a husband who is living with his wife or a wife who is living with her husband an additional $1,000 exemption is allowed, so that all told a married person is entitled to an exemption of $4,000. Only one $4,000 deduction, however, is to be allowed from the aggregate income of both husband and wife. Under ordinary circumstances incomes are to be computed for the calendar year. In the case of the present J. Photo © by American Press Association. CORDELL HULL. year, however, the tax is to be computed only on that portion of the income accruing from March 1 to Dec. 31 next. The treasury department is preparing blank forms, which will be distributed by the district internal revenue collectors to each taxable person. If you fall to 'get such a blank you are required under a penalty to apply to the collector or his deputy for one. Blanks will be on deposit with postmasters for the convenience of taxpayers. Every taxable person is to fill out and return one of these blanks to the internal revenue collector of his district before Jan. 1 and March 1 next. The taxpayer must fill out under oath a true and accurate statement of his income of $3,000 or more for the calendar year. This return shall set forth specifically the gross amount of income from all separate sources, and from this total shall be deducted the aggregate items of the expenses and allowances authorized under the law. Any taxpayer who fails to make a return on or before March 1 will be liable to a penalty of not less than $20 nor more than $1,000. If his return is fraudulent it will be a misdemeanor, and he will be subject to a fine of $2,000 or imprisonment for one year, or both. Each taxpayer will be notified by the internal revenue commissioner by June 1, 1914, of the amount of the tax due from him, and the payment must be made by June 30 following. In the event of failure to pay the tax by June 30 and after ten days' further notice 5 per cent will be added to the amount of the tax and interest at the rate of 1 per cent a month from the time the tax falls due. Exceptions are made in regard to penalties in the cases of incomes from the estates of insane, deceased or insolvent persons. In the case of neglect or refusal to make returns or in case of false returns the commissioner of internal revenue may make such return himself any time within three years of the date when the return was due. EDISON LOOKS INTO FUTURE Cement Roada, Choaper Auto Tires and Reprinted Newspapers. and Reprinted Newspapers. Boston.—Thomas A. Edison was asked what in his opinion would be the next improvement in automobiling. He replied: "Cement roads. I believe that in ten years cement roads will hand the country from one end to the other to the exclusion of all other kinds." Mr. Edison does not believe there is need of a substitute for rubber for tires. He said: "Rubber trees are being planted in the tropical countries. A vast amount of capital is going into rubber tree farms. Eventually there will be a great influx of rubber harvested from them. I am told by manufacturers of automobiles that rubber should be cheaper today than a year ago. They expect rubber to go down." Asked what improvements could be expected in newspaper making in the next decade, he replied: "Something to save paper. If nouncarbonized inks were used—inks that would bleach—papers could be run through the presses again by the aid of an invention or two and be used several times. It's bound to come to a proposition of this kind. Inks that will bleach will be used." MISS WILSON INTERCEDES. Has a Postoffice Rule Waived to Please a Little Blind Girl. Washington.—The little blind daughter of Mall Carrier Sherry at Mandale O., may ride with her father over his rural free delivery route, although a postoffice regulation expressly forbids it, because Miss Jessie Wilson, the president's second daughter, interceded for the child and got Postmaster General Burleson to issue a special permit. Jessie Columbia, thirteen years old, of Cleveland, spent her vacation this year with her grandfather, the postmaster at Mandale and saw the blind girl's plight. She wrote Miss Wilson of how little Miss Sherry longed to ride on her father's mall cart, and an appeal to the postmaster general was followed by an order waiving in this case the regulation which forbids that any one but a carrier shall ride on a mall wagon. BIG VICTORY FOR LOVERS OF BIRDS Democratic Caucus In Senate Restores Protection. Washington—Action of the Democratic caucus in the United States senate, in voting to withdraw the amendment previously adopted to the bird protecting clause of the tariff bill, and to restore the measure as it was written by the house committee, is taken by those who have been waging the fight against the "feather trade" as a certain and complete victory for the friends of wild bird life. The new tariff bill will prohibit the importation of wild birds' plumage for commercial purposes, no matter from what country they come, and will abolish in the United States and all its territorial possessions the traffic in skins and feathers of slaughtered wild birds. Among the senators who worked in behalf of this measure are Senators McLean, Chamberlain, Lane, who made an aggressive stand in the caucus fight of Tuesday; O'Gorman, Hitchcock, John Sharp Williams, Gore Bryan, Bacon, Shively and others. This campaign was inaugurated and managed by the New York Zoological society and National Association of Audubon Societies. Immediately it attracted the support of national and state federations of women's clubs, the State Audubon societies, many patriotic societies of women, the Women's League For Animals and other organizations and free lance leaders. The number of personal letters written to members of congress in this campaign was enormous. It is estimated that 100,000 would be under rather than above the mark. The plan is now to carry the fight to England, Germany and France. 2.294 SEALSKINS. Many Silver Fox Furs Are Also Brought From Alaska. San Francisco.—The steamer Homer, under charter to the United States government, has arrived from the Pribilof islands and Unalaska with a cargo of 2204 sealskins and thousands of foxskins, including a large number of rare and costly skins of the silver fox. The United States exercises a guardianship over the northern group of islands, in accordance with foreign treaties, and to pay the cost of guarding the seals from poachers the government is permitted to kill a certain number of seals and foxes each season for the skins. The steamer Homer makes two trips a year to the islands to take in supplies and bring out the furs. Drops Dead as He Predicted Atlantic. City.—Early in August George Rappelyea, a hotel man, told friends he had had a premonition he would expire from heart trouble. He wound up his affairs, so firmly was he convinced. Then Rappelyea fell from a chair in the Hotel Columbia while talking with his son. A physician declared heart disease had caused instant death. What It Is to Ascend Into the Holy Hill—What is Meant by Standing In the Holy Place—Who Have the Clean Hands—What Is Signified by a Soul Lifted Up to Vanity—Who Are Those of the Text Who Swear Decapitally The Terms and Conditions of the Divine Rewards—Christ the Great Exemplar—To Him and to His Followers the Gates of Glory Lift. PASTOR CHUSSEL Washington, D.C. October 5. Pastor Russell addressed the Washington Temple Congregation this afternoon from the text, "Who shall ascend into the Hill of the Lord? or who shall stand in His Holy Place? He that bath clean hands and a pure heart." PASTOR-RUSSELL (Psalm 24:3. 4) He said: The pen pictures of the Bible astound us with their clearness and forcefulness, their crispness and pointedness. We are to remember that the Prophet David was not writing with ordinary poetic license, but was stating in poetic form grand truths which he himself could not fully appreciate. St. Peter tells us this was the case with all the Prophets. He said that holy men of God spoke as they were moved of the Holy Spirit; and that the things that they wrote were intended, not for themselves, but for the Church, during this Gospel Age. Interpreting our text in harmony with other prophecies, we perceive that the words do not refer to the literal Hill of Zion, nor to the literal Holy Place of Israel's Tabernacle. M. Zion typically represented the Kingdom of Messiah, and the Holy Place represented the antitypical Temple of the future, which St. Peter tells us will be the Church in glory. Christ Jesus Himself being the Chief Corner Stone. "He That Hath Clean Hands" Now comes the question. Who shall be accounted worthy of a place in that glorious Kingdom? Who shall be accounted worthy of membership in that true Temple? The answer evidently applies primarily to the Lord Jesus Christ Himself, as the succeeding verses show. "He that hath clean hands" would signify, he who is able and willing to keep the Divine Law perfectly; secondly, he that is pure in heart, in whom there is no admixture of disloyalty or selfishness or sin—he whose heart is loyal to the core to the great Jehovah. The Prophet David could not claim such purity of heart or cleanness of hands; nor could any one, except the Son of God, who was holy, harmless, undefiled and separate from sinners. He alone could and did keep the Divine Law, both in letter and in spirit. He alone, therefore, was qualified to be the great King in Zion and the great antypical Priest. In Him alone the royalty of David's line and the Priesthood, typified through Aaron, would unite, and as foretold, would constitute the new Priesthood—a Royal Priesthood, a Priesthood associating in itself the qualities of mercy, instruction, power and authority. Thus it was prophesied of Jesus, "The Lord hath sworn, and will not repent: Thou art a Priest for the Age, after the order of Melchizedek"—a reigning Priest—a Priest upon His Throne—Psalm 110:4. Other Tests Were Necessary. The full keeping of the Law was not all that was requisite in the great Heir of the Abrahamic Covenant. All things written by the Prophets concerning Messiah must have fulfilment in Him. And in all those prophecies God had caused to be set forth matters which would indeed be tests of the humility and loyalty of the One who would perform them. Was it not written that Messiah must be led as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep, dumb before the shearers, must not open His mouth in protest? He of whom it was written, "Never man spake like this man," used His eloquence in telling of the grace and mercy of God, but not to deliver Himself from the evil machinations of His enemies, of those bent upon crucifying Him. Was it not written that He would be the antypical Passover Lamb, to be slain? And did it not behoove Him, therefore, as He declared, to suffer all these things, and through obedience in these sufferings to enter into the Messianic glory which was to be the reward? Our text tells us this in simple terms—that He did not swear deceitfully—that the Covenant which He made with the Father, a Covenant of Sacrifice unto death, was kept to the very letter. Neither did He lift up His soul unto vanity and pride, nor hearken to the admonitions of the Adversary. On the contrary, He humbled Himself, even unto the death of the cross. This was His great test—far beyond the mere keeping of the Law of the Golden Rule. And because of His faithfulness, as the Apostle declares, "God also hath highly exalted Him, and given Him a name above every name"—the name of Messiah, the King of Glory—"that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, both of things in Heaven and things in earth." Thus was ful filled in Him the promise of verse 5 "He shall receive the blessing from Jehovah, and righteousness from the God of His salvation." "Lift Up Your Heads. Ye Gates." Succeeding verses of this Psalm picture the Redeemer entering into His glorious reward, saying, "Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lifted up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of Glory shall come in!" The ushering of Messiah into the honor and glory of the Kingdom of God, to establish righteousness in the earth, to put down rebellion and sin, and to destroy the works of the Devil, is really the ushering in of Jehovah's Kingdom, for which we pray, "Thy Kingdom come." Jesus came not to glorify Himself, nor to His own will, He declared, but to do the will of the Father in Heaven. All Messiah's victory will reflect glory upon Jehovah, the great Author of the wonderful Plan of Salvation; for, as St. Paul declares, all things are of the Father, and all things are by the Son—I Corinthians 8:6. Partakers of His Holiness. During this Gospel Age God has been selecting from amongst mankind a saintly class, energized by a similar spirit to that of the Redeemer. But unlike the Redeemer, these are members of the sinner race. Our first thought would be that thus they would be effectually barred from participation with the Savior in His victories and coming glory. But behold the wonders of the Divine arrangement' As the Redeemer gave His life to be a Ransom-price for Adam's life and for all those who lost life through him, Divine Mercy has made a special provision whereby the followers of Jesus, who have His spirit, may be made acceptable with the Father at the present time. This special provision for the Church is that if they consecrate their hearts, their wills, and all they possess, to do the Father's will, our Redeemer will appropriate to them the share of forgiveness and resituation which otherwise would be theirs to enjoy and use during the Millennium. This the Scriptures designate "justification by faith"; and such, we are informed, are holy and acceptable to God. Can They Keep the Law? From the time they are accepted of God these are treated as New Creatures, and no longer dealt with according to the flesh. With these the standards are the heart intentions, and not fleshily perfection. Of these, therefore, it is written, "The righteousness of the Law is fulfilled in us, who walk [live] not after the flesh, but after the Spirit."—Romans 8:4. But have these the clean hands and pure hearts necessary for a place in the Kingdom? The Bible answers that these New Creatures are pure in heart—loyal to God. Otherwise they would not have been accepted of the Lord, nor begotten of the Holy Spirit. And as for their hands, their Lives, the New Creature never had solled hands or impurity and wilful sin. The only imperfections these New Creatures can have are such as belong to the flesh—such as they may be unable to fully conquer. And these weaknesses and imperfections of the flesh are covered in advance, provision being made through the redeeming blood of Him who tasted death for every man—through Him "who gave Himself a Ransom for all." What of Their Vanity? and Vows? Can it be said of the true followers of Jesus that they make such a covenant as Jesus made, and that they are able to keep it, and have not made it deceitfully? And can it be said of them that they lift not up their souls to vanity, to pride? It cannot be claimed that all who name the name of Christ, and have entered into covenant relationship with God through Him, keep their covenant faithfully. But it can be said that some do so, and such shall share with Jesus His glorious reward. These faithful ones, these overcomers, "more than conquerors," do not lift up their souls to vanity and the pride of life. They do not become followers of Satan, who sold in his heart, "I will exalt myself"; but contrariwise, they "follow the Lamb whithersoever He goeth." The Vow taken by all of the Lord's consecrated ones who receive the Holy Spirit is the same Vow which Jesus took, the same Covenant. The Master made a Covenant of Sacrifice with the Father by which He surrendered His own will, and that included everything of an earthly kind. Similarly, all whom He accepts as His sacrificers and join-heirs enter into the same Covenant of Sacrifice, and present their bodies living sacrifices. Alas, some, according to the Scriptures, will fall to gain the great prize, and will receive a lower blessing! Yet a sufficient number to complete the forecordained Plan has been found throughout this Gospel Age. As the Body of the Anointed One, under the Headship of the glorified Son of God, and as members of the Melchizedek order of Priesthood, those faithful to the end will receive the Divine acknowledgment and association with the Master in His Kingdom and glory. "To Him that overcometh will I grant to sit with Me in My Throne, even as I overcame and am set down wild My Father in His Throne." The promises to these, with and under their Master, include a participation in the Diving nature.—Revelation 3:21; 2 Peter 14. * The Prinaiole a General Orie. The Divine Plan in many respects is like a telescope whose joints may be extended. We have seen how this Psalm applies primarily to our Lord Jesus alone. We have seen the second joint in the telescope extending and making it applicable to the Church, which is the Body of Christ. Now let us extend it still further, and perceive that the principle holds in respect to humanity. It would not be true to say that humanity will ever be offered a share with Christ and the Church on the Heavenly plane of glory. It would not be true to say that mankind in general will ever have the opportunity of entering into the same kind of Covenant that Christ and the Church now enter into—a Covenant of self-sacrifice. But it is quite true that there is to be an earthly Kingdom; and that mankind will be privileged to attain to full membership in it on conditions not very dissimilar to those terms upon which the Church become joint-heirs in the Heavenly Kingdom with their Lord. Earthly Kingdom For Adam and His Children. The earthly kingdom will be the kingdom which Adam lost when he became a transgressor and came under the sentence of death. This earthly kingdom, as well as the king, Adam, and all of his family, Jesus redeemed, purchased back from death and desolation. He purchased it not for Himself, for He already had the Father's promise of a better and higher, a Heavenly Kingdom. The earthly kingdom was purchased for the very purpose of restoring it to Adam and his race—to as many of them as would avail themselves of the mercy of God, tq, be extended to them by the Messianic Kingdom, during the thousand years when Satan will be bound, and when Christ and the Church will reign until every enemy shall be put under their feet. As it did not please God to allow the fallen Adam to continue to be the king of earth, living in sin and degradation, a dishonor to the Creator's Empire, so it will not be pleasing to God that any shall come back into rulership under Messiah's Kingdom except such as shall have learned fully the lesson of the exceeding sinfulness of sin and the love and mercy of God in their redemption, and such as will then love righteousness and hate iniquity. All others will be destroyed as "cumberers of the ground"—as "natural brute beasts" will they be destroyed. The Earthly Kingdom and Holy Place. The thousand years of Messiah's Reign, then, will be for the purpose of giving to every member of the human race a full opportunity to return to God. All will be made to understand, from the least to the greatest, that by the close of Messiah's Kingdom an earthly kingdom will be established under the whole heavens, and that none may be sharers in that kingdom except such as have clean hands and pure hearts, such as will humble themselves and learn the great lessons to be learned, and not lift up their souls to pride, vanity and self-sufficiency. All will be taught that if they would enter into that kingdom they must take upon themselves vows of obedience to the Lord. All will learn that the thousand-year period is for the testing of their faithfulness to those vows and those lessons which the glorious Messiah will bring to their attention, making them conditions of acceptance and worthiness of everlasting life as human beings in a world-wide Eden. They shall receive the blessing of Jehovah, intended from the very beginning for His earthly children. Given to Adam, but lost by him and redeemed by Jesus, this blessing will be given again to those who shall demonstrate their worthiness by their loyalty during Messiah's Kingdom: But the evil-doer, the lover of evil, the proud, the haughty and the deceitful-Covenant-breakers—will be destroyed from amongst the people. Acts 3:23. Clean-Handed. Pure-Hearted. In closing, I feel inclined to press the two special features of our text, "clean hands and a pure heart." We have already admitted that as fallen, imperfect belongs it is impossible for us to be absolutely clean, right, just. All the more must we strive for such a condition. The New Creature must be on the alert to scan all of life's affairs and to measure all things in life with the Golden Rule—Is it right? Is it just? Is it doing to others as I would that they should do to me? We make progress in proportion as we strive for this cleanness of bands, cleanness of conduct, righteousness. To be slack to be indifferent, not to strive, would mean to the Lord that we were half-hearted in our love for righteousness and hatred for iniquity. Purity of heart we have already noticed as signifying purity of intention and of motive. But the Lord has made a special provision whereby His people may indeed maintain the purity of heart and cleanness of hands in His sight, whereby they are continually reminded of the imperfection of the flesh and the need of the cleansing blood of the Savior. However pure in our hearts, we may find weaknesses of the flesh arousing in us anger, malice, hatred, strife. These the pure in heart are to resist, remembering that these are the works of the flesh and of the Devil; and if peradventure, in an unguarded moment, any of these devilish qualities should attach themselves to us ever so briefly, we should realize that they have left a stain. It would be for us to make right with others whatever of injustice we have done, and then to go to the Lord-in prayer, that we might obtain mercy and find grace to help for future times of need. Thus may the Lord's people maintain their purity of heart and cleanness of hands. Thus may they abide in the Father's Love. Thus may they fulfil the Covenant of Sacrifice. Thus, may they become "meet for the inheritance of the saints in light." BROOKLYN TABERNACLE BIBLE STUDY ON JEALOUSY AND ENVY PUNISHED. Numbers 12-Oct. 12. "Lore enricth not; lore counteth not itself, is not puffed up, with not behone itself unseemly."—I Corinthians 15:1. 5. TODAY'S Bible Study tells of a serious error made by Aaron and Milim, Moses' brother and sister. That Miriam was the leading spirit is fully demonstrated by the outcome, which shows that God's punishment rested upon her, and not upon Aaron. Moses had married an Ethiopian. At this time she had come to live with him in the Camp, and thus became the first lady of the nation. Previously, Miriam had filled this office. It was but natural that she should feel the loss of her position, especially as she reflected that her sister-in-law was of an alien race. This fact seemed to give Miriam's jealousy a religious footing; and she undoubtedly convinced herself that her hostility to her sister-in-law was based upon a high moral ground, affecting God's honor and the future possibilities of Abraham's seed in the Promised Land. No good people can harbor jealousy, envy, etc., without deluding themselves into thinking that the peculiar circumstances of their case fully justify their attitude. T Miriam became convinced that God would not use especially one who had thus lost cestae with herself. Her polished mind became The Lord's Presence gun to see evil. The Lord had forsaken dences that the Lord had forsaken Moses, that otherwise he would not have made so great a mistake, as she thought. She communicated her fears to Aaron. The two doubtless prayed much respecting the sad fall of Israel's leader and the necessity laid upon them to make good his dereliction. Apparently Aaron was a weak character, merely used and useful as Moses' mouthpiece. He showed much weakness on this occasion, as also when he made the golden calf and assisted the people in their idolatrous worship. Miriam probably assented at that time that such was the only course to take to satisfy the rebellious people. The text implies that Miriam began to spread her insidious suggestions throughout the Camp. The people were to be prepared and the Lord helped, of course, by the primary suggestion that Moses was not the only leader of the people, that Miriam and Aaron were also prophets, in relationship with the Lord exactly as was Moses. This insidious preparation would make ready for the expected time when the Lord would disown Moses and speak through Miriam, Aaron being her mouthpiece. And the Lord Heard It. Suddenly the Lord called Moses, Aaron and Miriam into His presence before the Tabernacle. All three obeyed the summons, Miriam doubtless supposing that now the Lord would oust Moses as leader and appoint herself. The denouement, however, was very different. God did, indeed, declare that He had used Miriam and Aaron, but that His dealing with Moses was on a very much higher plane. To him the Lord had spoken directly, not through dreams and visions. Thus the ambitions which were the grounds of the jealousy and evil speaking God promptly set aside. Additionally the Lord gave a punishment. As the Divine presence departed, Miriam was smitten with leprosy. Aaron, recognized this to signify that he had upheld his sister in a wrong course. To Moses he prayed for relief, acknowledging their sin and pleading for Miriam. Then Moses cried to the Lord. God heard him and healed Miriam, but directed that she be treated like others healed of leprosy. All such were required to remain seven days outside the Caip, to see that no further symptoms of the disease appeared. "The Law Was a Shadow." "The Law Was a Shadow." St. Paul explains that the various things commanded Israel under their Israel under their Law Covenant were prophetic shadows illustrating things appertaining to Spiritual Israel. Thus leprosy, practically incurable, except by Divine interposition, was a type of sin; and the seven days of excommunication from the favored people represented a com were prophetic shadows illustrating things appertaining to Spiritual Israel. Thus leprosy, practically incurable, except by Divine interposition, was a type of sin; and the seven days of excommunication from the favored people represented a complete period of tests respecting a putting away of sin, a cleansing, a return to harmony with God. The Golden Text is St. Paul's exhortation to the Church. The Church, we must remember, is that special class called out from humanity in general by the Gospel to become followers of Jesus. Their call is to sacrifice all earthly rights, and to be fully submissive to the Divine will in everything. Their Covenant is to be loyal to every principle of the Divine Program, under the headship of the Savior. This leaves no room for the works of the flesh or of the Devil. All these are to be put off, as displeasing to God. On the contrary, the fruits and graces of the Spirit are to be substituted, that ultimately Jesus' followers may attain to the fulness of Divine favor. Love represents the full character of God; for "God is Love." Ancient Tablets Prove One Existed In Niphon Temple 3200 B.C. Philadelphia.-The discovery of the existence of the first temple of learning in the world, where the first exponents of the liturgical system congregated, has just been made by Professor Stephen Herbert Langdon, professor of Assyriology in Oxford, who is now investigating the Nippur collection of the University of Pennsylvania. The tablets were collected in three expeditions to Nippur, in the southern part of Babylonia. "I have ascertained from my examination of the tablets that priests had a school in the temple at Nippur as early as 3200 B. C. and that this school existed about a thousand years," said Dr. Langdon. "To these priests is due the liturgical system which spread throughout Babylonia and Assyria and influenced Greece and Rome. They were exponents of a great university, the most important center of learning. I believe it was the first school of learning, and for that reason the University of Pennsylvania's collection, which discloses the presence of this university, is of the greatest value to scholars. "The discovery will establish more clearly in the minds of scholars the fact that the origin of religious orders existed in ancient antiquity and that a very important religious order existed at the temple near Nippur." "BLIND." SEES X RAY SKIRT. Test Eyes of Beggar Who "Rubbered" When Wears of Gown Passed. When Water of Gown Passed. Lima, O.-Scientific inquiry into the normal condition of the eyes of Thomas Kern, a begging "blind" man, has been ordered by Mayor Shook, following the alleged development in municipal court that Kern found little optical impediment in discerning the form of a woman in a diaphanous gown at an interurban depot. With a "Please Help the Blind" sign plinned across the front of his coat, darkened glasses over his eyes and a tin cup resting in his hands, Kern sat at the depot, an object of pity until, as the woman passed, he dropped his cup, snatched away his glasses, took a long "rubber" and then started to resume his pose; when a policeman arrested him. HAVEN FOR TRAMPS HAS FED 300,000 MEN "Turn No Hungry Man Away," Said Dying Millionaire. San Francisco, Cal.-"Turn no hungry man away from the Parrott home." On his deathbed John Parrott, a multimillionaire clubman of Hillsborough, solemnly laid the injunction on his wife that all who should come hungry to the house in the stately and ornate park which is one of the beauty spots of Hillsborough should receive food and shelter. That was in 1884, and since that time more than 300,000 tramps and wanderers and adventurers have received succor from Mrs. Parrott, who has held her husband's dying wish as a sacred trust. At one time twenty-five tramps were fed at the Parrott home. There is a porch at the back of the huge kitchen attached to the mansion which is used as the hoboes' dining room. There they may have hot meals in abundant quantity and of the best quality. For years Mrs. Parrott employed a special chef to cook for her wayfaring guests. She puts aside a large monthly allowance in her budget of household expenses to provide for them. They also are permitted to camp on the grounds, and sometimes fifty to a hundred men are gathered there. 78 GIRLS PROPOSE TO HIM. Heir to $25,000 a Year, Now a Cob- hler Defence Choice, However Brunswick. Gn.-Attracted by the story of Van Allan, a newspaper man who, after spending his first yearly allowance of $25,000, is now living the humble life of a cobbler, by which means he hopes to save enough money to get to Birmingham, where he will receive another allowance of $25,000 in February, seventy-eight girls have written letters to Allan proposing marriage. Allan came to Brunswick on his "uppers." He had been previously living a life of ease. He received a bequest of $25,000 a year for the remainder of his life, but his remittance falls due in February. He has not yet chosen his life partner. 120 YEARS TOO OLD TO WED. Register of Deeds in North Carolina Refuses Man Seventh License. Raleigh, N. C.-Declaring his age of 120 years too great for marriage, the register of deeds of Bladen county declined to give Joseph McIntyre his seventh marriage license. Mr. McIntyre has buried six wives, all of whom lived with him until death. The register declined to issue a license on the ground that the applicant was too old to take care of his prospective bride, who gave her age as eighty. She has been married four times. The couple walked two miles to the town to ask for a license. STUDIES PRISON FROM THE INSIDE Osborne Serves Self Inflicted Term For Purpose. TREATED JUST AS A CONVICT TREATED JUST AS A CONVICT Gets the Same, Fare and Dons Regular Prison Clothes—Ia Bathed as He Enters and Assigned to Cell—Will Determine Effects of Prison Life on Mind. Auburn, N. Y.—Emulating the example of Governor Hunt of Arizona, who in March, 1912, had himself locked up with convicts to share their experience of prison life, Thomas Mott Osborne, chairman of the state commission for prison reform, has entered Auburn prison and is serving a self imposed sentence—for the purpose of studying the effect of discipline, food, labor and the general prison system on a convict's mind. Mr. Osborne entered the prison as any new convict would do, went T. H. THOMAS MOTT OSBORNE. through the routine, such as being taken for a bath, a session with the prison barber and prison tailor, and went through the same grind as a convicted felon. In reply to a question he said he was ready to "take all his medicine" and would not balk at the dungeon should his conduct at any time justify his incarceration there. The results of the study are to be embodied in a report to be made by the commission that is studying prison reform with a view to legislation next year. Chairman Osborne spoke to the convicts in chapel and said in part: "As chairman of the commission on prison reform appointed by Governor Sulzer the superintendent of prisons and Warden Rattigan have kindly given me permission to carry out a plan to determine the psychological effect of the prison system on the prisoners. If sympathy and understanding from a vivid personal experience are desirable to studying, say, some foreign country, they are even more necessary in the case of a group of men set apart by society such as this prison community. For in your cases the conditions under which you live are more unnatural and less easy for most persons to grasp than those of a foreign country. "Moreover, most of the books that have been written about you by so called 'penologists' are written largely from the outside standpoint and with so little intelligent sympathy and vital understanding that few are of real value. They seem to be based on the assumption that the prisoner is not a human being like the rest of us, but is a strange sort of animal called a 'criminal', wholly different in his instincts, feelings and actions from the rest of mankind. "I want to find out out whether our prison system is unintelligent; whether it files in the face of all common sense and human nature, as I think it does; whether, guided by sympathy and experience, we cannot find something far better to take its place, as I believe we can. "I am coming here to learn what I can at first hand. In the court of conscience I have been found guilty of having lived many years indifferent to and ignorant of what has been going on behind these walls and have been sentenced to a short term at hard labor in Auburn prison. I expect to begin serving my sentence this week and am coming here to live your life, to be housed, clothed, fed, treated in all respects like one of you. I want to see for myself exactly what your life is like—not as viewed from the outside in, but from the inside out." No Bent For Thirty Years Columbus, Ind.-John Zimmerman, seventy-nine, known popularly as John Cinnamon, is dead here in a home he had occupied for thirty years without paying a cent of rental. Francis T. Crump, a capitalist, owner of the building, recently called on Zimmerman and mentioned the matter of rent, with the result Zimmerman said he had just repaired the roof and would call the rent bill squared. Crump received the bill. THE BEE Published at 1109 Eye St. N. W. Washington, D. C. W. CALVIN CHASE, EDITOR. Entered at the Post Office at Washington, D. C., as second-class mail matter.

Senator Vardaman, of Mississippi, who is at present the most conspicuous exponent of Negrophobia, announces that he will oppose with voice and with vote the confirmation of any Negro designated for federal appointment. The Senator holds that political equality between the races leads to social equality, and that it must be checked now that the Democratic party is in power. It is pleasing to be assured that bigotry of the Vardaman variety has not spread to the heads of the administration. There were widespread reports of a scheme to segregate all colored office holders at Washington, and President Wilson was compelled to bear his share of the criticism voiced throughout the country. It is now made clear that whatever attempts there may have been at segregation were made wholly without the knowledge or approval of the President. In two departments subordinate executives did resort to discrimination, but not even the cabinet officials were aware of what was being done. Secretary McAdoo and Postmaster General Burleson, both natives of the South, have directed that the discriminatory efforts be discontinued, while President Wilson, a Virginian by birth; has privately made known his disapproval of such a policy. It is undoubtedly true that there are a few little Vardamans in small official positions, and their persecutions of efficient colored employees might have become unbearable had it not been checked. The gratifying feature is the assurance that the southerners who are of real importance in the national administration have been altogether blameless.—Cleveland Plaindealer. The Cleveland Plaindealer does not know what it is talking about. Segregation of colored Americans in the several departments of the government has the unqualified indorsement of the Administration. Thousands of letters and petitions have gone to the White House, but without effect. A white man, an editor of a publication of one of the great religious denominations of the country, in a recent letter says, in speaking of the policy of segregation conducted under the administration of President Wilson: "I feel that the situation which has been created is the most serious and menacing that has confronted the colored race in America during this generation. It is especially discouraging because the President takes the ground that he is acting in the interest of the colored people, and says that some of the most thoughtful of them approve of the action that he has taken with reference to this segregation. HOWARD UNIVERSITY IF conditions in Howard University are truthfully stated, then that institution is in need of an immediate overhauling. The Bee feels confident that there is something radically wrong. Never before, in the history of that institution, has the medical department of Howard University been in such a deplorable condition. If conditions continue there will not be a medical student at the University. Many are leaving daily for other institutions. Will the faculty act? The entire medical faculty of the institution is white and it is said the men who compose the faculty have not the time to give to this school, but leave the administration of the school to Dr. McNeal, who is un- THE LAST STRAW? Of all the pretensions upon which the numerous social tomfooleries are based, not any is more disgustingly flimsy and unjustifiable than that of color. Aristocracies of all sorts are certainly-undemocratic and un-American, so-called. Yet there may be conditions under which a group of persons may be pardonably proud and which may constitute a fair pretext upon which to build a claim of superiority or exclusiveness, as, for instance, the aristocracy of wealth, of illustrious birth, of scientific or professional acquirement. Certainly, wealthy groups have a pretext, because wealth honorably and honestly acquired is an expression of business tact, inventive genius, thought power, temperance, the instinct of provision, a commendable providence, intelligent application and well-directed industry. So, also, when groups can trace a long line of ancestry distinguished for honorable service in the cause of humanity, of justice, of liberty, of national prosperity; and are moving along lines consistent with those pursued by their progenitors, the manifestation of pride or a spirit of exclusiveness is far from shocking, but, on the contrary, meets with almost universal acquiescence, if not cheerful indorsement. The same is true where groups are now occupying the higher limits of industrial, scientific, moral or intellectual effort. Of all the pretensions upon which eries are based, not any is more idle than that of color. Aristocracies' cratic and un-American, so-called, der which a group of persons may constitute a fair pretext upon priority or exclusiveness, as, for in all illustrious birth, of scientific certainty, wealthy groups have a power and honestly acquired is an exponentius, thought power, temperamentable providence, intelligent dustry.

But to pridicate superiority on the pretext of mere color is not only ridiculous, but positively monstrous. For, after all, what is color, that it should be set up as a mark of superiority? All things, animate and inanimate, possess it in one shade or another. The ruddy complexion of the so-called white man is seen in the face of the monkey, the belly of a lobster, the feet of the jackass, the stripes of the snake and the hyena and the cars of the rabbit. Nor does it express any particular quality or condition—it is purely accidental, a merely modified pigmentation, a stinted contribution of Nature from her abundant supply of beautifying material. Hence, the aristocracy of the white man, based, as it can only be, on color, is about as useful, honorable or justifiable as would be an aristocryc based on poverty, ignorance, insanity or idiocy. And so, the propaganda of Vardaman and his kind—announced with so much flourish of trumpets, and pursued with such infantile braggadocio—is the most pusillanimous, feeble and unjustifiable attempt to materialize vacuity and magnify littleness ever undertaken by fools, fanatics and fakirs since the world began. And the wonder is that this new doctrine or hallucination should find so many converts who are clamoring for segregation of those who are not of so-called "white" complexion. It is seriously proposed to isolate the colored people, to group them to themselves. Why? The presumption is that they are socially unfit to exist in the presence of the white people; that they must have "quarters," as was the case in those halcyon (2) days of chattel slavery. When the colored nurse or cook or housemaid or washerwoman or what not completes her day's work, she must retire to her "quarters," the same with the butler, chauffeur, waiter, driver and porter; also, the physician, lawyer, teacher and business man. But merely to live in quarters at night is not segregation; it is just plain, simple, temporary separation or absence. Segregation, if it means anything, means isolation, the act of being separated, not part of the time, but all the time that the conditions that required it remain, just as cases of smallpox are segregated so long as the patients are affected. What would one think of allowing a yellow fever suspect to mingle promiscuously during the day, only to sleep among persons similarly suspected? And how foolish it would be in the cases of ascertained infection! What would one think of allowing a lunatic to run at large all day and made to sleep in the mad-house only at night? That would be like the laws against miscegenation; they only encourage the process by foolishly attempting to obstruct the law of human nature by placing useless limitations upon the marriage contract instead of wisely and virtuously conforming to it. However Vardanan and his associate arch-fiends may think to the contrary, the fact remains that, even though segregation be intended merely to mean proscription, the irresistible effect of it will be absolute and complete separation in the home, the schools, the church, the farms and all the other activities. Segregation is an ugly expression of wrong and injustice and hatred. It enforces estrangement, inspires hatred and fosters sedition and rebellion. It has always done so; there can be no exception where a spark of manhood, of the spirit of liberty is presumed, and the colored man is not yet bereft of that presumption and never can be. If carried to the limit of possibilities, it is not difficult to believe that the South will sooner or later become a veritable desert, because of an enforced determination on the part of the masses of the colored people not to submit longer to intolerable persecutions, and of the inhospitable prospect held out to foreign white labor. The alignment on the tariff bill shows us what respect the South has for labor. Under the plea of the high cost of living, the tariff bill has been actually smuggled to a conclusion, not ten days of debate having been given to it. By the bill the security to Southern products was well attended to, while those of the North were unmercifully hacked and butchered. In vain did Labor protest. What care had the South for labor—white labor? Long hours, small pay, or scarcely any pay, for labor, convict labor, manufactured to suit labor demands, without any regard to whether the crimes alleged were actually committed—all this may be had at the South where the labor is colored, under brutal control and hopelessly disorganized. Let the Northern white labor starve—let the carrion rot—so long as the South has the colored laborer "in his place," the disherited scions of a grand (?) civilization! But these conditions can not last always. The cur-dog can be driven to show his teeth; the wounded and hunted stag will turn upon his pursuers; even the worm will turn when trodden upon, and it is not likely that the colored people, albeit endowed with marvellous powers of patience, endurance, faith in God and respect for law and order, Christianity and humanity, can possibly hold out forever against imitating some of the examples of righteous indignation and justifiable rebellion to which they can easily point in American history. Segregation means the reduction of the colored people to a political, social and economic nonentity, the de-Americanization of ten millions of persons who stand pre-eminent in title to the name "American," if long, uninterrupted residence, unselfish devotion and general usefulness have earned it. If the colored people are not to receive the consideration of fair, just and humane treatment here, whatever may be left of the boasted honor of the white man dictates consent to and large assistance toward, and the race insistence upon and systematic preparation for—emigration as their only salvation. popular, and his removal has been demanded by the students. If the alumni of Howard University want to see this great and valuable institution to continue, concentrated efforts must be exercised against the president of the institution and Drs. Burbank and McNeal. The trustees of Howard University should look into this school and if conditions warrant it, both Burbank and McNeal should be removed at once in order to save the medical department. BLACK MAN'S BURDENS. This was the subject of a lecture by Rev. M. W. D. Norman, pastor of the Metropolitan Baptist Church, before two thousand people or more last Monday evening. Rev.

THE GALLANT TENTH. Mr. F. D. Lee, who was the leading spirit at the reception to the Tenth Cavalry, should be highly commended. He deserves credit for taking the initiative and bringing it to a successful termination. Rolling Wordy Tide, correspondent of the Indianapolis Freeman, is very much concerned about the Editor of The Bee. The colored Democrats who have had their hopes all-blighted continue to pray for better days. Albert Casey, of New Jersey, the competitor of Editor James A. Ross for Recorder of Deeds for the District of Columbia, informed President Wilson, notwithstanding his rebuke to Negro Democracy, he is still loyal to the cause and will organize a National Negro Democratic Association as a set-off to the disappointed and disgruntled. Colored cavalry conducted itself manfully. Senator Vardaman, of Mississippi, knows what it is to be mixed. Lily white teachers in the schools and clerks in the government departments should be made to show their hands. The Kingdom, having died a natural death, although it struggled, should erect a monument to its memory. Advertise in The Bee. Everybody who buys reads The Bee, and will read your advertisement if inserted.-- The Republicans are still talking about getting together, but continue-to pull apart. Wilson and his advisors are driving the Negroes together. The last issue of The Crisis contains editorial criticism of the National Negro Business League, Dubois, the envious sardonic, so hates to see others reap success. What a pity "one grievous fault possessed hides all (his), better qualities." Every parent should give his and her assistance to building up the vocational school. Co-operate with Assistant Superintendent Bruce to make it a success. There are hundreds of Negro boys and girls in Washington out of school and idle about the streets who could be made useful men and women, and prepared to earn a living, if induced to enter the vocational school. Help gather these in. Ralph W. Tyler left Saturday on his trip to the West and Southwest in the interest of the National Negro Business League. This is one organization that ought to be made a power for good for the race. We have got to have business men and business women to assure success for our professional men and women. We have got to have business establishments to give standing to the race. The Bee has espoused the interest of our Negro business men for years, now let them reciprocate by advertising in the columns of The Bee. HOWARD UNIVERSITY. Great Institution on the Decline—Disruption in the Medical Department—Second-year Students Decline to Re-enter—Will Go to Other Institution—An Immediate Change Demanded in Drs. McNeal and Burbank—A Negro President Only Can Save the Institution—Students Are Leaving by the Wholesale. Since the retirement of Dr. Thirkield from the presidency of Howard University that great and ancient institution is on the downward road. There is not only dissatisfaction to President Newman, who has not got the get-up, about him to keep the institution up to the standard to which Dr. Thirkield left it, but he lacks the drawing power. Aside from this, the Medical Department is in a bad condition. There is a decided opposition to Drs. McNeal and Burbank. The Medical Department has no more than seventeen students. The second-year medical class has refused to re-enter or pay its tuition until Drs. Burbank and McNeal are removed. There are all kinds of objections to these two men. Dr. Burbanks calls colored students Negroes, so it is reported, and addresses them in many other uncompilatory terms. Dr. McNeal is charged with offences which should be investigated by the trustees at once. The Medical School is on the downward road. The trustees of Howard University should cause an immediate investigation before the school goes to destruction. From the standpoint of The Bee, there is only one man who is able to resurrect; this institution and that is Prof. Kelly Miller, who has the confidence and respect of the entire country. The Law School is about the only department that is holding its own. THE RESCUE CLUB. interesting Exercises Sunday--Mr. Chase in the Ticket and Miss Chase. Rendered Music. There was a large audience at St. Paul's Church, Eighth Street between D and E Streets, last Sabbath of the Rescue Club, of which Dr. John P. Turner is president. At 3 o'clock the president called the meeting to order and briefly stated its object. Miss Beatrice L. Chase, one of the most brilliant pianists in the country and a teacher of music in the public schools, rendered a few classic selections, in her usual artistic style. This well known musician possesses many brilliant parts. Mr. Grant C. Wilkinson, principal of the Armstrong Manual, Training School, delivered the opening address, which was full of good common sense. The meeting was the most instructive and interesting that has ever been held. Public Men And Things (By the Sage of the Potomac.) I wouldn't miss my Crisis each month for a bottle of Blue Ribbon. There would certainly be a crisis in my affairs if I missed it. I received my November number last week, and read "The Princess of the Hither Isles" under editorial department. When I finished it, why, soul-mate, affinity and plutonic love just got to playing hide-and-seek in my brain reservoir until I just had to write the following near-approach, with apologies to the DuBois style, what's full of soul-mate, affinity, plutonic love and all that sort of dream stuff. I've entitled it "The Princess of the Tother Isles," and it inebriately runs as follows: Her hair was kinky, wherefore she kept it greasily soaked with Hairvimp and Cantkinknomore, out of which peered evidence of vasaline, and anon the satin-finish and chocolate color of her face—red with cheap rouge and ashy with talc powder. She sat in the Tother Isles, well walled between Thusly and Thisly, upon an old and red painted wash tub, and leaned against a beer keg, expectantly dreaming of 4-11-14. Now, the Tother Isles are lazy and care-bereft and indolent, with drear sleepiness and all manner of queer notions, crazy ideas and pints of gin and cocain lying handily near to feed insanity. She hated them—I guess not; and ever as her hard hands and bunyoned feet pushed back the roaches and cocain-created creeping things, her appetite lay craving, cocain throned, longing for the bottle of gin which sat inviting beside her on the floor of her "Speak-easy." The stomach rumbled and with it rumbled the Princess appetite, for she was thirsty, very thirsty, although full weary with the juniper berry liquor and cocain. So she was glad a tango in Yonder Honkeytonk on the other side of Dead Man's alley, where the warf darks swarmed, was being danced, and when the Culpepper tar baby yonder across Dead Man's Alley, togged in rummage sale clothes, and whisky soaked, warded by his whisky-onion breath and feet aroma, staggered across the rotten floor and sat beside the beer keg of hen throne, she couldn't see why she should not love some other tar baby not quite so ugly and black and ride with him in the patrole up to the police station in state out of the cocain joint and gin aroma that enveloped the space between Here and There. She looked at him and tried to get up nerve enough to soak him with a skillet, this Culpepper tar baby from across Yonder Dead Man's Alley, tall and stooped, thick lipped and black and dirty. So again this last day of the week she poured gin down his singularly long nozzle—to put his whisky-soaked brain afame with drunken slumbers wherewith to forget she was around, to set his senses in a long stooper. Unconsciously he saw her take another swig of gin herself, limp and weak in the knees with no vast thoughtfulness. Then he said: "Hi—we've done out of gin yonder across Dead Man's Alley." "Ah, gwon blow yer peepers," piped the Princess. "Hic—I'm givin' yer the dope, ain't I?" She raised fifty-five pounds of her posterior from the tub. "Taint nuthin' to me, you beef, over baked by the sun." "Hic—what yer say, taint nuthin' to youse," said the coal passer slowly, as his half-shut eyes glanced to where Yonder across a big flat, flabby nose a nair of half-shut eyes peeped beneath singed lashes. She glanced, too, and a heavy, hard fist dropped over one of her peepers, and she took the count. Notice to The Bee readers.—This is to be continued if another thrilling, soul-mate style "Princess of the Hither Isle" editorial appears in The Crisis. Gee, how that mysterious, dark-lantern, affinity style of writing gives me an appetite for headache powders. Have you read "Princess of the Hither Isles" in the last issue of The Crisis? If you haven't, then go drink about six glasses of unadulterated cocola—the pure stuff—and tangle yourself up with that soulmate, affinity, plutonic love-garnished effusion what appears under "Editorial" of the last issue. It, in so far as giving satisfaction and enlightenment is concerned, reminded me of one of R. Wordy Flip-flopper's fulsome tributes to Woody Wilson and McAdoo for sending him to the basement toilet. Get the hook!! WEST WASHINGTON. ```markdown ``` The Thirty-fifth annual session of the Ancient Independent Order of Moses was held at their hall. Eighth Street Southeast, September 24 to 26 inclusive. The reports coming from the several Tabernacles for the past year showed an increase in members and finance. The Grand Master, Mr. Jos. Minor, presided during the session, and delivered his annual address, in which he laid great stress upon the payment of their new hall. The next meeting of the order will be in Pittsburg, Pa. Mr. Grant Contee, of this city, was elected Grand Master. Mr. G. A. Nevels, of Pittsburg, was elected Grand High Priest. Miss Lena Lyles was elected Grand Secretary. Mr. Lewis G. Fisher, of Pittsburg, was the guest of his uncle, Capt. David Fisher, and was cordially entertained during his stay of the sessions of Moses. The Grand Officers were entertained by Grand Master Minor at his residence on Thirty-fifth Street Northwest. Mr. Chas, H. Turner and Mr. John Harris were the special guides who did much for the enjoyment of the visiting delegates, who were shown the public buildings and parks of the city. The session closed with a grand banquet and installation of the new Grand Officers. The Ladies of Olive Association will have their annual sermon preach- ed-on Sunday evening at 8 o'clock at Ebenezer A. M. E. Church, O Street Northwest, by Rev. Naylor. Rev. J. D. Spencer, president of Morgan, College, Baltimore, Md., will deliver a very interesting sermon on Sunday morning at Mt. Zion M. E. Church, Twenty-ninth Street. Rev. W. H. Thompson is pastor. All are invited. Mr. Louis N. Brown, organist for Mt. Zion M. E. Church, has tendered his resignation and Mrs. Mary Barnes has been elected to the position, which she so creditably filled some years ago. The closing exercises of the public meeting under the auspices of the Brotherhood of Mt. Zion M. E. Church, which has been in progress during the past summer months on Cherry Hill and Congress Alley, will be held Sunday afternoon at 5 o'clock. Mr. Wm. Douglass is president. All are invited. The Bee can be had of our little carrier, Jimmie Turner, 2507 P Street. DEANWOOD D.C. Rev. A. Randall reports that the camp meeting now in progress at the M. E. Church is quite a success. Souls are being saved and the Christians are awakened to duty. The church is growing spiritually. Rev. Mrs. Randall is a potent factor in the work of her husband. She is a strong armor bearer. Rev. Geo. G. Mills has greatly improved. On last Sunday, Rev. Roadus, assisted by Revs. McGoins and Fox, served communion for the Rev. Mills at the First Baptist Church. The meeting was characterized by a good deal of fervency. Rev. R. F. Carter has charge while Rev. Mills is sick. The services at the Zion Baptist Church was good on Sunday last. At 11 A. M. the pastor preached, assisted by Revs. J. W. Cross and C. H. Strother. The evening services were well attended. Rev. Logan Johnson reports a splendid week of his church's anniversary. The Contees, A. M. E. Z. Burville, D. C. Mrs. R. Keene and Mrs. Emma Jackson, are uniting workers. Rev. Levi Washington has completed the arrangements for the erection of his new church edifice, the Tabernacle Baptist Church, corner of Division and H Streets. Burville, D. C. Rev.

When Avery Auditorium threw open its doors and the large assemblage of teachers and students joined in singing that song of inspiration and courage "Onward Christian Soldiers" on Wednesday, October 1, the National Religious Training School of Durham, N. C., began its fourth session. After the Bible lesson and a short prayer, President Shepard extended cordial greetings to the new students and teachers, and welcomed the return of the old ones. Among other things he said: - "There is a true saying that when a person becomes discouraged, if he will stoop down and help some one, then the gloom, despondencies and discouragements will be lost sight of, and in the effort to put hope in the heart of one, both will be saved. This school was founded primarily to reach the souls of men and develop the highest system of education, sending each person out thus trained to reach and train others." This year besides the regular routine the work of the school will embrace a systematic study of economic conditions of Negroes in and around Durham, that the home, church, and community life may be improved, and the spirit of uplift, clean living and efficiency instilled in the minds of the people. President Shepard believes that a true religion means thoroughness in doing the things our hands find to do and the spirit of this beautiful sentiment is expressed in the everyday life of student and teacher whether in school or work room. Little wonder then that this school enjoys such an influence for good in the several States and communities it reaches through its students and trained workers. This year, the school enjoyed its largest opening attendance, and the number of applications filed indicate the largest session in the history of the school. Will Start a Daily A few financial manipulators published a local paper a few days ago that they in all probability will start a Negro daily. One of these same individuals started a bank and was also secretary of a Negro Building Association. Both institutions went out of existence with the people's money invested in stock that has not as yet been found. Negro dailies have talked about as often as Negro week-lies. The latter have always died natural deaths. By all means have a daily and put ex-Negro bank experts to handle the funds. If talking will start a Negro daily and several week-lies to meet a "long felt want," old Wordy would have had one several months ago. Wordy never wants a weekly or daily until his state rot is rejected. By all means start a daily. MR. HARRY A.

The subject was "co-operation" and she handled it very ably, showing that we cannot be successful unless we work together for the good of our country, our race and our God. That just as the different parts of our body co-operate with one another, so should the loyal Christian Endeaver co-operate with his fellow member and push the cause through to a success.

Friday evening, October 3, the School Improvement League held a very interesting meeting in the Summer school building and discussed matters of material interest concerning the duties of this department. Reports show during the week an enrollment of 120 pupils. The teachers, in company with Rev. C. E. Queene, pastor of the Methodist Church here, entertained by Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Byard, who served them a very pretty lunchon at 5:30 o'clock. Rev. C. H. Coleman, pastor of the Mt. Salvation Baptist Church, greets his congregation on the first Sunday of each month, as he is accustomed to. His ability as a preacher has classed him with the noble men of the Lord. He endeavored to show that the extremities of man are God's opportunities, the morning text being Phil. 4:13. "I can do all things through Christ." The Sunday School was well attended. The superintendent, Deacon Wm. Hungerford, is slightly improved. The position was very ably supplied by Professor Anderson, a gentleman who has been among us only for a short while, but has made himself useful whenever opportunity presented itself. He is a leading merchant here and is fearless to speak and act for the things that are right, and a vigorous defender of his race. At 8 o'clock he accompanied the Misses Carrie Hungerford, Edna Webster and Lillian Elliott to Arlington to attend the Baptist Union of the Sunday School held in Mt. Zion Church. Miss Ellijot read a very interesting paper on "Why the Older Folks Should Attend Sunday School." Mrs. Katie Rhubottom and Mrs. Wm.

Holmes. of Washington, who preached at 11 o'clock from 2 Chron. 2715. on "Willing Service and a Consecrated Life". Sunday seemed to be a day for exchanging visits to other churches by the regular church-goers, thus lessening the general attendance at home, but a very good number were in attendance all day. At 8 p. m. Rev. John Saunders preached a very excellent sermon. The morning and evening were so connected that a highly appreciated day resulted. Marriages for the week were: September 30.

"The supplication of a righteous man excellent much in its working."—James 5:36. THE Israelites remained at Mt. Sinai about a year, learning important lessons. The Tabernacle was set up as a meeting place between God and the people. God was represented by the pillar of cloud resting upon its top, and at night flaring like a torch. God's presence within the Tabernacle was seen only by Moses and Aaron, in connection with their privileged services. He was represented by the Shekinah brightness upon the Mercy Seat. Thus the Tabernacle became the center of the nation's life and interest in relation to God, who communicated to them through the mediator of the Law Covenant—Moses. The Sin of Murmuring. Those who accept God as their Leader should never murmur—never com- er should never in plain. To do so is to dispute the Divine Wisdom and the Divine promises, and to that extent to break the covenant of faith, obedience and loyalty. St. Paul reminds us that the murmuring of the. Iraselites carries such a lesson to us.—Hebrews 3:7-19; 4:1-11. to dispute the Divine Wisdom and the Divine promises, and to that extent to break the covenant of faith, obedience and loyalty. St. Paul reminds us that the murmuring of the. Israelites carries such a lesson to us.—Hebrews 3:7-19; 4:1-11. The Lord's dealings with Israel show us that justice, love, mercy, loyalty to God and to principle are in the Divine estimation the highest qualities, and their violation the most serious crime. If we have not looked thus at matters, it behooves us to change our viewpoint and to take the Almighty's. This murmuring against the Lord was concerning the manna, for which at first the people had been very thankful. They allowed their minds to become so vexed that they wept like children at the thought of the fleshhots of Egypt, and murmured in desiring to return to the old conditions. Little did they comprehend the situation. Had they returned to bondage, even after a year's freedom, their lot would have seemed more wretched than before. Moses Too Greatly Burdened. The result of this murmuring was severe upon Moses. He was the people's representative before the Lord, and the Lord's representative before the people. Heart-broken, he sought the Lord, saying that the burden was too heavy for him to bear. Then it was that God directed the institution of the Jewish Sanhedrin—seventy Elders, to be the court of judges, responsible to the people, to deal with and to counsel them. While Moses remained head of the nation, the seventy shared his responsibility. By Divine direction Moses made out the list of these Elders, and requested them to meet him at the Tabernacle. All but two came. There God honored Moses, as the head of the nation, and then placed a share of the responsibility upon the 70. This was indicated by their prophesying. Even the two who remained in the Camp prophesied. Quail In Over-supply. God then sent word to Israel through Moses that he was about to send them a thirty-days' supply of flesh, such as they had murmured for. Under the Lord's providence, a strong wind drove thousands of quail to the vicinity of the Camp. Two days and nights the people gathered quail. Agnostics have questioned this statement, thinking it a declaration that birds fell in a solid mass two cubits high. The proper thought is that the birds, driven across the sea, were so fatigued that they flew low, about two cubits (three feet) above the ground, where they could be easily caught. The murmurers ate so heartily that pestilence broke out among them, a fever from over-eating, called "a fire from the Lord." Many died and were buried there. The place was called Kibroth-Hattavaah—"Graves of Greediness." Thus the Lord permitted the unthankful to cut themselves off from further opportunity for murmuring. The happiest mental condition conceivable is that which is satisfied with God's appointments. The spirit of discontent looks away from the Heavenly Manna, longing for other food. To such the Lord grants opportunity of feasting to the full on what they crave; but the murmurers cease from being members of His family. DISHOWSTY "George of Lust" The Bible supplies the Manna of Divine Truth. The Truth needs to be gathered, ground and baked. But it is God's provision, wholesome, nutritious, necessary for our perfecting as God's people. Yet some crave the fleshpots of Egypt—the world's theories. These God allows to come within their reach. They fill themselves with Higher Criticism and Evolutionary theories, and perish as New Creatures. Greed, selfishness, stands connected with sin of every kind. It leads to every form of immorality, to satisfy its selfish propensities. It leads to injustice and untruthfulness in its endeavor to acquire a large share of God's blessings. It leads to anger, malice, hatred, envy, strife and murder in its endeavor to obtain a superabundant share of this world's goods. Selfishness is thus unrighteousness, and "all unrighteousness is sin." South in the Saddle. (From Camden, N. J. Daily Courier.) A paramount political issue that the Southern section of the country represented in Congress prior to 1860. With a Southern born and bred in the Executive chair; with a Southern leader of the House in Congress, of the people is the re-establishment of the old Bourbon Southern Democracy in control of the government in Washington. This fact is brought out prominently in an interview with the well-known Southern Republican leader, Joseph C. Manning, published in another column of the "Courier." It has no doubt not been apparent, to the average newspaper reader during the struggles of President Wilson to frame and force through Congress his tariff and currency bills since March 4 last, that his great reliance has been upon the men from the South, men schooled in all the traits and arts of the Bourbon Democracy that controlled the government and rushed it into civil war because it had lost its grasp. Having returned to power, the Southern oligarchy now in the saddle is determined upon strangling American industry by means of the tariff act, just as was the practice of Underwood, helped by Champ Clark, a Southerner, as Speaker, and with a Southern Senator leader of the Senate, it is easy to perceive how we are drifting back to the old hard times before the civil war. Some may be inclined to doubt that these men are so influenced in determining the politics of the administration, but they may be enlightened if they will only note carefully who control the secret caucuses of committees, whose action is made binding upon the respective houses of Congress, and Northern and Western Democrats are repressed. The upbuilding of the government, and the prosperity of its people largely responsible for the vast development of its resources, has been too progressive to suit the slow-going Bourbons, who, true to their natural instinct, "never forget and never learn." But the lesson the Southern leaders are presenting to the people of the country will not be in vain, for it will arouse to duty all American voters to vote for principles and not for men. Curious "Civil Service" Interpretation. (From the Daily Herald.) In the current issue of the Nation the case of a colored railway mail clerk, who as the result of a civil service examination had been appointed chief mail clerk on a train with white men as his assistants is discussed rather caustically. The colored man was installed as chief clerk on a Norfolk and Southern train, running between Norfolk and Raleigh, N. C. This, of course, would not do, and Representative Small, of North Carolina, was requested by his constituents to investigate and bring about a change. But let us read the Nation's comment: Mr. Small did investigate. He found that the outrage was one of those "perversions" of the merit system which make it unpopular here and there. The Civil Service Commission had actually conducted an examination for railway mail clerk on the line between Norfolk and Raleigh, N. C., without asking any questions about color of skin, eyes, or hair. The questions were such as any capable person could answer, no matter what his race. And, as it happened, a Negro had answered them better than some white men. If it had not been for the examination, the Negro would have had no chance at the superior position. The examination was, therefore, evidently faulty. Representative Small, we read, "assured the civil service authorities at Washington that the people in his district and on this line, of the Norfolk and Southern would not stand for a Negro being placed in charge of a mail car with white clerks as helpers." The Civil Service Commission, perhaps, "saw the point," because we learn that an order has been issued from the railway division headquarters, making the Negro the helper. We take it that a journal of the prominence of the Nation is well informed. If so, there ought to be some sort of explanation demanded by the Civil Service Leaguers, or, perhaps, by the President. RACE POLICY PROBLEM. Mr. Wilson Puzzled as to Appointing Negroes to Office—Senators Are Against It—President Would Reward Some Who Helped Democrats Win—Representative George Told to Lay Cases of Constituents Before the Senate—Conditions in the District. President Wilson is face to face with the problem of adopting a definite attitude toward appointing Negroes to office. Recent developments culminated yesterday in a direct question from Representative Henry George, who called at the White House, in order to solve a perplexing situation that has arisen in his district. Mr. George asked what he should do with the requests of several Negro constituents who are pressing him for jobs. President Wilson, it is understood, told him to sound out the Democratic leaders in the Senate as to what extent they would go in drawing the color line. Several weeks ago President Wilson, upon the recommendation of Senator Gore, nominated a Negro named Patterson for Register of the Treasury, a post that has been held by a Negro since the Cleveland administration. This nomination met the violent disapproval of a delegation of Southern Senators, led, by Senator Vardaman, of Mississippi, and finally was withdrawn. Representative George does not want to be placed in the position of having any one he recommends fail in confirmation. Therefore he wants to be sure of his ground before proceeding.

Bills have been introduced in Congress providing for the segregation of the Negroes employed in the various government departments and for "jim crow" street cars. There has been no action on these measures, and whether or not they will be passed is a matter of speculation. But President Wilson may have to veto or sign one of these bills before long. On interesting occurrence followed a recent visit of Mrs. Wilson, wife of the President, to the bureau of engraving and printing. There she saw white and Negro women working side by side. Mrs. Wilson came from Georgia and seemed very much surprised. Shortly afterward Assistant Secretary of the Treasury John Skelton Williams issued an order segregating the races in the bureau. Wilson Would Reward Some. In the last campaign many Negroes in the Northern States, dissatisfied with the Taft administration, gave their support to the Democrats. They organized marching clubs and aided materially in electing the ticket. President Wilson is understood to take the attitude that some of these Negroes ought to be rewarded But he does not wish to have to withdraw any more nominations. Judge Latimer and Supt. Sylvester Revising Rules—Fewer Arrests Hereafter—Conference Held After Fourteen Youngsters are Taken Into Custody for the "Crime" of Playing Football and Other Games in the Streets—Patrolmen to Be "Patriarchal." Plans for changing the system of punishment for boys and girls who violate the minor police ordinances of the city were discussed Monday at a conference between Judge J. Wilmer Latimer and Supt. Richard Sylvester, of the Metropolitan police, with the end in view of keeping as many children as possible from the stigma of appearance in juvenile court. Major Sylvester agreed with Judge Latimer's suggestion to have patrolmen assume somewhat of a patriarchal-guardianship over the communities in which they are detailed. "We are trying to work out some kind of a system which will keep the violators of the minor regulations out of court," said Judge Latimer. "Major Sylvester informed me that the officers have been instructed to first warn the children, and to report them to their parents before making an arrest. An effort will be made to have the policemen understand our work, and have them try to gain the confidence and respect of the children." Fourteen Boys Arrested Ten boys were arraigned in juvenile court Monday afternoon for violating the minor regulations. All were bright school children, ranging from 13 to 16 years of age. Six had been with a party of eighteen boys who had been playing in front of an apartment house. They were charged with "unlawful assemblage" by the patrolman who made the arrest. After they told Judge Latimer they had no other places to play other than along the street curb, the case was continued indefinitely. Four other boys had committed the "crime" of kicking a football in the street. They had no other place to play in the vicinity of their homes, they said. Their cases were continued indefinitely. It is to save such boys from the humiliation of arrest and appearance in court that Judge Latimer and Major Sylvester are working. New Rules for the Court. The new schedule of the juvenile court, arranged by Judge Latimer to separate the children from the adults, will begin tomorrow, when dependent and neglected children will get a hearing. On Mondays and Thursdays adult cases will be heard. On Tuesdays and Fridays delinquent and truant children will appear before Judge Latimer. Sessions of court will begin each day at 10 o'clock. SUPREME COURT TO PASS ON RACE DISCRIMINATION. Alleged Treatment of Colored People in Various Sections Is Sharp Issue.

This is house that will satisfy you. the country is to be made shortly on behalf of colored people before the Supreme Court of the United States. The Oklahoma and the Maryland "grandfather" constitutional amendments, by which thousands of colored men have been disfranchised, will be attacked as unconstitutional. An effort will be made to have the Oklahoma "Jim Crow" legislation annulled. An attempt will be made by Tennessee colored organizations to be permitted to use the name of "Knights of Pythias" for colored lodges as well as white lodges. Frank Guinn and J. J. Beal, two election officials, have been convicted of conspiracy to prevent several colored men from voting at the Congressional election in 1910 in Oklahoma. This was done on the basis that the "grandfather clause" was unconstitutional. The eighth circuit court of appeals has expressed doubt as to the validity of the clause, and has asked the Supreme Court to pass upon the question. Grandfather Clause Involved Grandfather Clause Involved The Oklahoma "grandfather clause" made it necessary for all persons whose ancestors were not qualified to vote in 1866 in this country to be able to read and write in order to vote. In Maryland damages have been recovered against two election officials who refused to allow colored men to vote. The officials were enforcing the "grandfather clause," which prohibited election officials from registering for voting those persons whose ancestors were not qualified to vote in 1868. The Oklahoma "Jim Crow" law requires railroads in that State to provide separate coaches for the whites and colored equal in every way in comfort and convenience. Five colored men seek to enjoin the railroads from enforcing the law. They lost in the lower federal courts, which went so far as to hold that railroads need not furnish sleeping cars for the colored people if there was not sufficient demand by colored people for such accommodation. For several years a fight has been waged between white and colored lodges of the Knights of Pythias in Tennessee over the use of the name. The colored element has brought the matter to the Supreme Court, having lost their case in the courts of Tennessee. Not So Easy.

Therefore this is our country. We have no other. We do not want any other, and we are simply going to stay here and fight it out if it takes all summer. We were brought to this country soon after its first settlers had landed at James-town, nearly three hundred years ago, and sold into slavery until 1863, laboring without pay to make this country what it is today. From 1863 until now, a period of fifty years, we have enjoyed to some extent the privileges of free men and women, and yet we have had to contend against odds, racial antipathies, wicked and flagrant discriminations, unjust and unreasonable legislation and imposed upon in every way unbecoming the descendants of, the folks who, against our will, honored us with a free passage across the Atlantic. You see, we were brought here as a kind of guest of the country; others had to pay their way—came as Americans. We were brought here, simply taken along even without our consent and made citizens of this country, and we are just simply going to remain here—and there is no way on earth to keep us down. (The gray mule and the well.) It is but fair, however, to state that we have had encouragement and strong friends before and since the Civil War: the Garrisons, the Beecheers, the Lovejoys, Harriet Beecher Stowe, and others, thundered against slavery, and Northern and Southern friends, too, have, since the Emancipation, contributed to the uplift of our people, and no fair-minded man doubts, no man except one blinded with prejudice, would for a moment deny the exceptional progress made by the black man within the last fifty years, materially, educationally, morally and religiously. But there are still many burdens to bear—peculiar burdens that the black man must shoulder for himself and his race—and the man who is not willing to share the burden for himself, for his family and for his race, is not entitled to the sympathies and help of others. For, even the good Lord helps those who help themselves. It is simply folly, to be quiet and still and suffer the indignities and discriminations that are rife everywhere. It will be suicidal, in my opinion, to invoke or encourage physical encounters and bloodshed; but we must, under God, patiently and manly and heroically bear our burdens and make good in spite of them. I. While it is no disgrace to be poor, it is certainly terribly inconvenient, and every man should strive to lay up something against a rainy day. Poor people have always been and are now in the majority; hence, as a race, we should cultivate sympathy for the unfortunate, for the outcast, and every effort should be made to reclaim the fallen to produce moral and spiritual regeneration among those who have fallen. Hence, the promotion of social settlement work, the proper bestowment of charities and a reaching of the masses of our people, is a necessary duty. The churches and other religious organizations should not be contented so long as there remains an unfortunate, an outcast in the community. The enforcement of the "White Slave Law" does not seem to contemplate the black slaves, so that we shall have to, in a measure, enforce the "Black Slave Law" and thus better the morals of our folks. We should co-operate with business men, with the real estate men, in better housing conditions and thus improve the morals and health of the race. Societies have one-half million dollars in white banks here. We may just as well get together and help each other and recognize each other and patronize each other. There is a tendency on the part of many of us to get away from the race; but you just can not do it. One-eighth of Negro blood settles the claim. So you may just as well come along with the crowd. Long hair and the color of the skin do not make men and women, and the sooner some folks find it out the better for the race. Talk about segregation. We are segregating ourselves. We are separating and scorning. If it is certainly necessary for us as a people to provide places for the coming generation; young men and young women coming out of schools year after year have practically nothing to do. In this regard we should imitate other races, for we are really losing places—boot black parlors, watters in hotels, hack drivers—and such places were once upon a time, and that recently, considered the Negro's place; but other folks are taking such jobs now and white men are considering these economic questions and are trying therefore to get their own sons and daughters in these places. They are teaching their children day after day to work and they fear that their children will be crowded out by the black folks. Here is the exact language of a white man: "Put industrial trades into his right hand," speaking of the Negro, "then fair-skinned prattlers will turn pallid faces to papa and cry in vain for bread. Fill him with practical knowledge, then you will recall to mind the fable of the farmer and the snake." You remember the snake story. (The snake and the farmer.) So you see the white people are thinking about the future of their children, and if we shall be wise, we will do likewise. That means to encourage our real estate folks, our merchants, our insurance companies and our bankers, for all of these will give employment to our men and women. The Industrial Savings Bank on Eleventh Street Northwest is our own institution and every one of us should support it. Every black man in town or woman should take out at least fifteen dollars' worth of stock. If they lose, why let her go. Other banks have broken, but I believe this one will stand. We ought to make it a great institution. Of all the Negro banks organized within twenty-three years, out of the seventy-two organized six have failed, or them into prison, who in debauchery and drunkenness use the pistol and knife and are thus being made to work in prisons, which, if they had done before the use of these weapons, they would be prosperous and happy. We must not harbor criminals. We should see that they have a fair trial or that they shall have sufficient counsel. Honest people should not be blamed for the criminals. The measure of the race by the criminal element is wrong. The daily papers do us a decided injury by publishing the faults and not the virtues of the race; by giving space to the criminal side and not the moral and religious. They publish the account of a pocketbook snatcher, but why not publish the account of some effort to uplift our fallen, to help the race and thus show to the world that we are not all criminals? What is the remedy? Why, support our own papers; papers that will tell the good of the race, magnify its virtues. We should have here in Washington, in the Capital of the Nation, a daily paper of our own and 100,000 of our folks and the folks throughout the country, who would be interested in the movement, should support such a project; but until we get this daily, support your weeklies. White folks read Negro papers as well as Negroes read white papers and a well conducted newspaper is a great force for good in any community. A good honest Christian man, brave and fair, who, for the good of the general public, runs a paper, stands side by side with the greatest religious reformers and Christian workers of the age. The press is a tower of strength. It was really ludicrous to listen to a convention of educated colored men complain because the white papers would not publish their proceedings. Get your own papers and be proud of them. IV. Politically. I presume the black man is in a worse condition today than he has been since Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation and Lee handed his sword to Grant and the bells of freedom rang out in the land. The division of votes may or may not be wise. I know that fighting the party that legislates against our best interest and goes out of its way to humiliate our race, is manly and not to do so, is cowardly. We are right to demand fair and impartial treatment as citizens of this country. We should less than 1 per cent. Within forty-five years 2,414 white banks have failed, or 28 per cent of the whole number. We must trust somebody. Give the Negroes a chance to steal, then punish them and then go on trusting men; still trusting them. The men engaged in business should be more punctual to their business, more courteous to their customers, and we should have more confidence in them and not leave all because one insults us. (The child and the tobacco.) (Big business.) (Imitate the white man and the automobile—lawyers, doctors, preachers, &c.) Urge co-operation and the building up of "big business." Speak of the lack of "big business" concerns in Washington owned and controlled by Negroes. Down in Durham about a dozen years ago three Negroes began a little insurance company without any capital, and, possibly, without any idea of business, but they have labored on and recently have changed their charter and hereafter will be conducted on a legal reserve basis. This places it among the foremost institutions of the country. In order to do this, they had to deposit with the Insurance Commissioners of North and South Carolina $101,000 for the protection of its policy holders, which it did, of course. In Durham alone it owns $100,000 worth of real estate. The Standard Life Insurance Company, of Atlanta, Ga., was established in 1912 and was able to do business with $100,000. The National Benefit Association, an insurance company in our own city, is an evidence of integrity and honesty and business sense, and will soon rank among the foremost institutions in the world with a deposit of $100,000 as a reserve fund. The Richmond Benefit Association and other insurances here and elsewhere are doing splendid business and urge the colored people to cast their lot with their own institutions. Five thousand dollars weekly in New York to 1,000 Negroes. III. Whether criminality is a traité of the race or not, I do not believe it is. There are entirely too many criminals among us, and that on the part of young men and young women, who steal just enough to get contend for the ballot. A voteless people are in many respects, a helpless people. So that it is incumbent upon you and me to see to it that the ballot shall be placed into the hands of our sons and women, too, for that matter, and daughters, too. For I believe that the women will vote soon. Vardaman's tirades and Mr. Wilson's lack of courage in appointing colored men to office—it is a blot upon civilization to deprive the black man of these essential rights. It is said that the United States digs more coal, molds more iron, builds more railroads, builds more factories, devises more inventions than any other country. That this country publishes more newspapers, periodicals and books, maintains more public schools, erects more libraries, endows more institutions than any other country, and the Negro, the black man, has contributed as much to these conditions, or to the prosperity of this country as did anybody else, if not more. We have felled the forests, we have laid the tracks, we have tunneled the mountains and we have made her plains and valleys blossom like the rose, and no man, except a prejudicial crank, will charge us as a race with being treacherous, insolent and hostile. But, on the other hand, we are forgiving, kind-hearted and generous almost to a fault—(here urge the race to be to true to each other.) The battle of Port Arthur and Manchuria or the war waged between the Balkans and the Turks is not to be compared to the war or battle that we must fight in order to obtain our manhood rights—our battles must be continuously waged, under God, until the desired end is reached—the age demands men not boys: leaders, not carpet knights; honest straight-forward men, not sycophants, not men who will sell their rights for office, but men who are willing to sacrifice with the race. V. I believe that we are rather indifferent in these trying times, for we are really living in a time that tries the hearts of men and in the face of opposition against us, as a race, it does seem to me that in many quarters we are indifferent and unconcerned—Nero is fiddling while Rome burns; Belshazzar and a thousand of his lords are feasting while misterious fingers are writing strange characters against the wall beneath the mighty candle stick. The white folks are planning our downfall and some of them are men in high places and it is simply a matter of jealousy. Our progress is too great and permanent. I read a little pamphlet entitled "The World For the White Man," which contains a severe indictment on the race. Its author fears a combination of the black races, which outnumber the white race three to one. That is, the world's population is estimated at 1,600,000,000; hardly one-fourth are pure whites. He sees in this destruction of the pure whites, unless the black races be exterminated, and, of course, the American Negro must go first. He says, cram Greek and Latin into his skull and you, make either a contemptible fool or a dangerous agitator. Put industrial trades into his right hand, then fair-skinned prattlers will turn pale faces to papa and cry for bread. Make him a master of finance, in two generations he will be outlawed—he must not grow rich; he must not be educated; he can not be assimilated; hence we must get rid of him. (The shoemaker and the elephant.) (Mr. Calhoun and the Negroes.) (Mr. Vardaman and his universal disfranchisement.) (King Pharaoh and the killing of the Jewish boys.) (The boy and Titanic, no room.) These white folks and Negro haters as well cease their activities, for "God is standing within the shadow keeping watch upon His own." But there are those who are willing to help us, so let us take courage and go forward. Let us make ourselves worthy of the nation's confidence. Let us redeem our time; let us reform or drive out the shiftless, let us deport ourselves in public places with more dignity and regard to the comfort of others. (The captain and I.) The two races should live friendly together and we should be willing to do our part. (Old man and the rose bush.) There may be some truth in the statement that servants are indifferent and careless, but it is not the whole truth, for all of us are aware that the majority of those who work in service are industrious and honest, and, too, a good honest servant girl is as good as anybody else. The honor lies in the honest struggle. (Here encourage the servant girls.) Notwithstanding the fact that there is too much of indifference and carelessness and so on, on our part, and segregations and humiliations on the part of those among whom we live, yet the majority of our people are industrious as shown by the success we have made within fifty years. No race on earth has done better in the same length of time and the indications are that God has greater things in store for us. No race has remained the same. They go up and then down. Do you suppose the Mongolian in time of his widest expansion and power, when he drove the white man in shackles to his daily toil, would have believed for a moment in the wining of his power? Do you think that the Saracen, aspiring to world dominion, leading white maidens from the capital of Europe to his harem, dreamed of decay; or Greece with colonies on either岸, of the Mediterranean, imagined an overthrow; or Rome, resting on her seven hills, the then mistress of the earth, fancied that her great highways, marble halls, would give way to the tramp of other nations? Proud and mighty cities of the past have been buried beneath the accumulated dust of the scorpion and bat, and upon their ruins other nations have founded cities and other peoples control. God raises up nations and God allows nations to go down and others take their places. In the days of the Caesars, Caesar charged his men not to engage a stupid Britain, but the stupid Britains have become the greatest of races and by their ingenuity and skill, have made the world one community: in other words, a mighty speaking gallery where the whispers of one nation may be heard by another. They have harnessed the forces of nature, which, for ages, were left wild and dreaded by man, until these forces now serve the generations; lighting their dwellings, giving drink to their thirsty and conveying their thoughts from one nation to another, even uniting the continents by a chord of fire, which conveys man's resolutions and decisions from one capitol to another; and, sir, beneath the rivers he travels by day and by night; yet in Caesar's time, the Romans regarded the Britains not even fit for a servant. The same God rules in Heaven and in earth and who can know the station He has defined for the black man's occupancy. The black man is bringing things to pass. "A large city," says a noted writer, "could be formed without a single white man in it and not lack for any trade or profession. There are 21.268 Negro teachers and college professors in the United States and 15.530 clergymen. The Negroes could finance a railroad through their sixty-seven banks; lay it out with their civil engineers and with their surveyors; condemn the right-away with their 728 learned lawyers, make rails with their 12.327 iron workers, build a road with their 54.980 skilled laborers, construct its telephone system with their 185 electricians and their 529 linemen, and operate it with their 55.327 railroad employees. The sick could get medicine from more than 122 first-class drug stores and be treated by 1.734 doctors and surgeons, and have their teeth gold-crowned by 212 dentists; while 3.921 music teachers will train our fingers to play and our tongues to sing and 210 journalists keep us posted on the events of the times. VI. We are somewhat emotional in our religion and therefore as a race we are often criticised and perhaps misjudged. Some how or other, I prefer an emotional man to a cold indifferent one. This emotional propensity is somewhat responsible for the high religious attainment in our people. While we have made mistakes and have accepted in many cases perspiration for inspiration, still we are a religious race. And yet there is room for improvement in the practice of the principles of the Religion of Christ and it is time now that we get down to business—Faith in God first; faith in prayer; here commend the prayers of the fathers—urge the doing away of formalities and fashions and insist upon faith in the race and loyalty to the church. (Birds and the rice fields in South Carolina.) At the conclusion of this masterly and eloquent address Rev. Norman was congratulated by that vast audience, and Rev. Ross offered the benediction and the people repaired to the large lecture room below, where handsome decorated booths met the eye and beautifully dressed ladies, busy as bees, served everybody that was fortunate to enter the fair. So great was the crowd that hundreds could not gain admission. BUSH'S YACHT HIS COFFIN. Scuttled at Sea With His Ashes, the Crew Reports. Portland, Me.—A story which for novel features has few parallels is told by the crew of the schooner yacht Lydia, scuttled about ten miles off this port late in August, with the cremated body of her owner, James Freeman Bush, a wealthy paper manufacturer, resting on a table in the cabin. The sending of the handsome craft to her final anchorage with the ashes of Mr. Bush aboard was the result of a dying request made by him to his wife in a hospital here, where he had been operated on and where he died Aug. 24. According to the story told by members of the crew and not denied by Mrs. Bush, the Lydia, aboard which Mr. Bush had spent a great deal of time in late years, left Portland late in August with all sail set and towing a motorboat. Mrs. Bush was aboard. So were two close friends of Mr. Bush. On a table in the cabin lay the ashes of the owner, Captain Frank M. Skolfield of Cundy's Harbor, who had sailed the vessel for Mr. Bush, was at the wheel. About ten miles off the port the vessel was headed into the wind, the peons aboard were placed in the motorboat, and with an ax a hole was cut in the craft. Slowly she filled and sank to her grave. CAN'T REFORM; WANTS TO DIE. Youth, Arrested In St. Louis, Says He Will Commit Suicide. St. Louis, Mo.-Sidney L. Pincus, twenty years old, who says he is the black-sheep of a prominent New York family, is going to commit suicide the first time he has a chance because he is an habitual forger and can't reform. He told detectives this when they arrested him on a charge of trying to pass a forged check. "It's no use trying to be good," Pincus said. "I have no resistance. I have no power to control myself when the impulse to do wrong selzes me. I am going to kill myself at the first opportunity." Pincus says he left home when he was eighteen years old because he was bad and couldn't help it. CONDUCTING INQUIRY INTO COST OF LIVING President Orders Investigation of High Prices. Washington-An investigation into the reasons for the high cost of living which is nation wide in its scope has been going on quietly for some time at the direction of President Wilson- Administration officials are devoting particular attention to marketing methods in an effort to get at the root of the matter. The greater part of the work has fallen on Secretary of Agriculture Houston and his department. The problem of the high cost of living embraces two divisions, so far as the investigators are concerned. These are: How to afford means to the farmer to increase the production of his land and how to lift the burden of the steadily increasing cost of food from the masses. It is recognized by administration officials that scientific farming alone will not offer a solution of the problem, but that a study must be made of marketing facilities, organization and community effort in order that something effective may be done. It is admitted that there is considerable alarm over the fact that indications point to a sharp rise in the price of foodstuffs during the coming winter. This is particularly the case with eggs and beef. The former, it has been said, will rise to 75 cents per dozen, while warnings have been issued that beef may reach the dollar mark before long. Secretary Houston has formulated a list of questions which are being sent to farmers in all parts of the country. These questions deal with ownership, tenancy and credits, and from the answers Secretary Houston hopes to build the groundwork for his Investigation. ```markdown ``` L. C. SMITH & B.

The action of the local group of members of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored Peo- ple, who formed 2 provisional branch of the association, in declaring vacant the office of president, at their monthly meeting held June 20 last, has been affirmed by the Executive Committee of the National Associa- tion in New York. It will be re- called that there was a stormy meet- ing of this group last June; that Rev. J. Milton Waldron had been request- ed to resign because of his being a candidate for the Recordership, and that upon his ‘refusal to do so, by a vote of the group his office was de- clared vacant. From this action of the local group an appeal was taken by Rev. Waldron and the seventeen persons voting with him, to the Exe- cutive Committee of the National As- sociation in New York. Both sides were given a hearing. Mr. Neval H. Thomas was empowered to represent the group and Mr. F. H. M. Murray represented Dr. Waldron. Prof. Spingarn, of the Executive Commit- tee, paid the expenses of Dr. Wal- dron’s representative to New York and return, so important was it re- garded that all parties be heard. Af- ter a full, free and impartial hearing the action of the local group, was, in effect, affirmed. Hon, Archibald H. Grimke*has been designated by. the Executive Committee of the National ‘Association to act as president of the local group until an election is held on the third Friday in January, 1914, and has accepted. All persons “who have paid dues in the city of Wash+ ington up to and including June 20 (the date of the last meeting of tlre Washington group) shall be recog- nized as constituting the official branch of’the association in the Dis- trict of Columbia.” All of the for- mer officers, except. Dr. Waldron, have been designated to act until the election in January, Preparations are being miade to hold_a mass meeting on Monday evening, October 27, at which Mr. ‘Oswold Garrison Villard and Rev. John Haynes Holmes. will deliver ad. dresses on the work of the associa. tion. The Bee learns that Rev. Waldror has determined to do nothing that may be construed as being antago: nistic to the plans of the National As. sociation. DEATH OF JOHN TAYLOR. On Old Citizen Gone. The funeral of John H.
