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 BOOKERWASHINGTON RED LETTER DAY IN PITTSBURG The Entire City Demands Him. The Greatest Event in His History Booker T. Washington in Pittsburg, Pa., Greatest Event in History. Pittsburgh, Pa., Feb. 12.—The visit of Dr. Booker T. Washington, of Tuskegee Institute of Alabama, to Pittsburgh this week was a red-letter event in the history of the colored people of the Smoky City. Dr. Washington came to Pittsburgh primarily to speak at a Hampton meeting at Carnegie Hall, but there was a demand on every one for his services in other directions. For instance, the Pittsburgh Negro Business League arranged a special mass meeting at Bethel A. M. E. Church for Wednesday evening, February 11, following the Hampton meeting at Carnegie Hall. Although Dr. Washington was detained at the Hampton meeting until 11 o'clock, the people patiently awaited his coming, crowding the church to the sidewalk, lining the aisles and enthusiastically applauding the eloquent periods of his fine and inspiring address. The meeting at Bethel A. M. E. Church was arranged by the following well known citizens, who are officers and members of the Pittsburgh Negro Business League: Officers: Mr. C. W. Posey, president; Mr. John T. Writt, first vice president; Mr. D. R. Lewis, second vice president; Mr. Geo. M. Robb, third vice president; Mr. Thomas T. Jackson, secretary; Mr. Wm. N. Page, corresponding secretary; Mr. Wm. T. Ward, treasurer; Mr. Wm. H. Stanton, legal advisor. Executive Committee: Mr. N. T. Velar, chairman: Mr. Wm. H. Stanton, Mr. John T. Writt, Mr. Daniel Roy, Mr. D. R. Lewis, Mr. Wm. N. Page, Mr. Geo. M. Robb, Mr. A. L. Ballard and Mr. C. A. Nevels. Upon his arrival at Pittsburgh and after being domiciled at the Hotel Schenley, Dr. Washington was conducted to the University of Pittsburgh, where he spoke for half an hour to the students of the School of Education. His reception at the hands of the students attending the university was most cordial and flattering. Dean W. G. Chanbers of the university arranged this engagement. His first address Wednesday evening. February 11, was at Carnegie Hall, where he spoke in the interest of Hampton Institute. Going from there to the Bethel A. M. E. Church on Wylie Avenue, where he spoke under the auspices of the Pittsburgh Negro Business League. This was followed by a banquet in his honor at the Leondi Club tendered by the officers and members of the Local Business League. Dr. Washington happened to step into the meeting being held by Billy Sunday with fourteen thousand people present, and was immediately called upon to take some part in the services of the hour. The colored people of Pittsburgh have been heartened, inspired and helped at the hands of their leader in a way that has seldom been true in the history of the visit of any man who has come among us in Pittsburgh. Major R. R. Moton, the commandant of Hampton Institute, accompanied Dr. Washington and also spoke at these various meetings. It has been helpful all along the line to have such visits of such commanding characters. HYPOCRISY EXPOSED. Practice What You Preach—Can An Expounder of God's Word Preach One Thing and Act Another?—Talmadge, the Expounder of Truth. No Color Line in the Religion of Jesus Christ—Pastor Russell, the Disciple of Christ, Draws the Color Line Contrary to the Doctrine of the Devil. (By J. C. Cunningham.) The age, this age in which we live, is full of trials and vexation so far as our race is concerned. But, after all, it may be the the way which God has planned to bring us closer together as a race of people. This seems to be the time spoken of in Holy Writ when the devil will be turned loose for a little season. They the devils are even meeting in the —the devils—are even meeting in the churches nowadays to map out some plans to impede the progress of this inoffensive race of ours. Even old man Russell, commonly known as Pastor Russell, who poses as a great preacher of the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, has instituted a "Jim Crow" section in the Temple of Creation in Brooklyn, New York, where he preaches the word of God, whom he (old man Russell) professes to lovel Hatred—hatred of the blackest hue—is at the bottom of every movement which tends to deny to all, "all" mankind his God-given rights. And although old man Russell seems well versed in the Bible, we wish to call his attention to the fact that if he will study well this blessed old book he is likely to stumble upon that passage which reads "He that sayeth he loves God whom he hath not seen, and hateth his brother whom he hath seen is a liar and the truth is not in him. Dodging around the great evils of this day and time without making mention of them is the one thing that makes us believe old man Russell is just preaching for notoriety and the dollars and cents he can get out of it. And he, like Nicodemus, needs be born again. And he had better go about this second birth very soon, for, according to the allotted time of man, he hasn't got long to fight against his colored brother sitting anywhere in the church in this world. And this reminds us of the fact when that great gospel preacher, Dr Talmage pastored one of the most cultured churches here in Washington he gave it out that no color line should be drawn in that church while he was pastor. But why should I mention Dr. Talmage, a Christian minister of the gospel of Jesus Christ, in connection with that poor old sinner in the person of old man Russell, for Dr Talmage is now at home with Him who hath said "Little children, love one another as I have loved you," etc. But we'll leave old man Russell here, in the hands of God, and pass on to other things. Let us not grow despondent because of the many obstacles that's being thrown in our pathway. No! Come on and on! Let us be up and doing! Let us form a segregation of our own; not in hating or trying to do something to impede the progress of any one else; but by getting closer together and use the strength that we have for the race in a commercial strength, is a giant asleep! Did any reader of The Bee, to say nothing of its wide-awake Editor, ever go down in the business section of this city and see the great number of white young men and women clerks in these stores, taking in the thousands of dollars handed to them by the colored people without saying yourself. "What fools we mortals be!" Why cannot the colored people "start something" and start now before the year 1914 grows much older in the shape of a big apartment store? Brother Ralph W. Tyler, who, beyond a doubt, is very much interested in the welfare of his race, is just stumbling over a gold mine by leaving Washington and travelling all over the country to see what others are doing and to encourage them in the work. Let us give Mr Tyler all the praise due him for his efforts to encourage the race along business lines, but instead of telling him to go on let us tell him to come back! Come back and arouse the colored people of Washington to get together and be somebody. Messrs Tyler and Napier have the car of the people, and being tried business men, they could get the people together and start "a great big store," consisting of everything that you eat and wear. In this movement a company of colored men of money could join them and we would soon have a store the equal of the best in Washington. We are not writing for the mere sake of writing, but we would to God our people would get over their scare of putting their money together in a business way. There is one thing about this Negro progress that must be gotten rid of, and it is this: we are building and buying too many costly churches. I do not wish to be misunderstood relative to this church question, for here is to be found the happiest places on the face of the earth. But the great majority of these preachers of today are in the business for what they can get out of the poor people. And they don't care how hard the poor people have to scramble for their money. All they care is to get together and have grand rallies every Sunday to enrich themselves, caring little or nothing for the welfare of the members. We are buying too many churches! And the sooner the people, who have to deny themselves of much that's needed at home, put a stop to it the better it will be for the race. In speaking of the preachers being in the business for the money they can get out of it, I do not mean all of them. But I do believe that the majority of them are guilty of the charge. They profess to be called of God to preach and yet, like a stubborn mule which won't move without the whip, they tell you they won't preach without a certain amount of money. Let us stop building so many churches and build stores and go into business with that money and thereby give employment to thousands of our educated young men and women instead of giving it all to a few lazy, sporting pulpeteers.

Says the Amendments and the Civil Rights Bill Associated Therewith Were Ideally Right and Will Yet Be Realized. If Rights Be Circumscribed, Let the Line Which Divided Run Straight Through Sex, Sect, Race and Society, Prejudices and Preferences. Special to The Bee. Chicago, Feb. 16.—The Rev. Jenkin Lloyd Jones, according to his annual custom, celebrated yesterday morning the birthday of Abraham Lincoln, giving a study of the continuance of Abraham Lincoln's mission in history after 1 is death. "The emancipation proclamation," said the pastor, "only freed the slaves of disloyal owners and it went no further than the conditions of war would permit. The states remaining loyal, or, the readmitted treasonable states, could still claim slaves by sanction of the National and State Constitutions. The Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments, together with the Civil Rights Bill, were necessary before the shackles were permanently broken from off the li-ubs of human beings in the United States. But shackled limbs did not make freemen. The dignity of the human soul implies a freedom to act, to assume responsibility, to discharge obligations, and in a democratic state the right of suffrage. Trumbull's Part. "All this plus to the emancipation proclamation owed a large part of its initiative and still larger part of promotional vigilance to Lyman Trumbull. Lincoln's colleague from Illinois, whose first entrance into the United States Senate was the result of Abraham Lincoln's magnanimous withdrawal of his name in the interest of his friend, and then Trumbull went to the Senate the first time by a single vote. 'Any effort to put enmity between you and me is as idle as the wind,' wrote Lawyer Lincoln to Trumbull, his colleague on the circuit. "It is well perhaps that January 1, 1863; the date on which the proclamation went into effect, should become in the popular mind the pivotal point around which the love and gratitude, the enthusiasm and the devotion of the friends of liberty should gather. It was a dramatic event to be commemorated by annual festivals and ever deepening celebrations. But it is untrue to Lincoln's memory to overlook his great lieutenants—Sumner, Trumbull, Carl Schurz and the rest of them who did picket duty on that battle line which extended beyond Appomattox. The Real Battle. "For after bullets and bayonets had lone all they could do, after the physical struggle, was won, then the longer, more trying and oftentimes more critical battle for freedom really begun. The war with guns was bitter and long and cruel, the sacrifice in blood was indeed costly and tragic. But this was but a prelude to the fifty years to follow, not yet finished, in which the weapons are ideas and the battlegrounds, courts of justice, and wherever man meets man—black, white, yellow or red—contending for the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness in proportion to their merits. "It is quite the fashion, even among the descendants of those valiant leaders in the bloodless battle for justice to the enslaved, to deplore the 'amendments' and to regret the 'Civil Rights Bill,' and with patronizing concessions admit that it was a 'mistake to grant the right of suffrage to the 'lack man before he was prepared for it,' etc. "Men who affect logic and claim intelligence point to the dark and troublesome days of reconstruction as evidence of this mistake. I believe that the profounder statesmanship and clearer ethical vision will prove that the fathers were more nearly right than their condescending and compromising sons. Military Necessity. "The logic of the situation demanded it as a military necessity. The war for freedom was not finished at Appomattox. The colored man who did valiant service with his bayonet might be and was needed to continue the fight with his ballot. But it is urged he was not prepared to intelligently handle the ballot. "So was it urged and with force that he was not prepared to handle intelligently the musket. He rose promptly to the first efficiency and is rising to the second efficiency. Law must ever outreach our practice—that is what it is for. There is an educational power in a just law, and in that crisis, and to this day in many cases, the enslaved was a more educatable student in the school of suffrage than was the enslayer. "The deplorable story of the carpetbaggers is more a reflection upon the white man than the black man: If the colored vote was marketable, wherein lies the greater disgrace, with the man who boys or the man who sells the vote? Which at the bar of justice is more reprehensible: the ignorant black man reaching after his citizenship, though crudely and blindly, or the white man, who, defying the Christianity and patriotism he professes, stoops to the outrages of the Ku Klux Klan and the barbarities of the innumerable lynching outrages. Menace of Ballot. "The ballot is menaced by mental ignorance, but more menaced by ethical torpidity, and in the long judgments of history freed men, reaching after freedom, were less a menace to law and order than free men blinded with prejudices rising in armed rebellion against the democracy they professed. "The amendments" and the 'Civil Rights Bill' associated therewith were ideally right and they are yet to be realized. The time is fast approaching when the last coward who will be willing to sneak to the ballot box under the mantle of a treasonable grandfather who marched in the army of treason will be dead and buried, and the unholy ingenuity manifested in the State constitutions that sought to ceyade or defeat these constitutional amendments will remain to be enforced by the enfranchised, white descendants of slave-holding parents. And they will see to it that illiterate white and black will be alike denied the right of suffrage under the law. And that the competent voter, white or black, by the same token, will be allowed to exercise the sacred privilege." SACRED CONCERT.

Must Return, to His Ideals If the Party Is to Survive, Says Hon. W. H. Lewis Before Lincoln Club of Boston. (From the Boston, Mass., Advocate.) Several hundred Republicans attended the annual smoker of the Lincoln Club of Boston at the American House Thursday evening to hear the addresses of leaders of their party in this State. The speakers were agreed on one thing: the greatness of Lincoln, but there was some difference of opinion as to the manner in which the Republican party of today is adhering to Lincoln's principles. Representative Channing H. Cox declared that the Republican party in this State should stand for a constitutional convention to make it consistent with conditions of the day. He would have this constitutional convention submit to the people amendments providing for the form of initiative and referendum best suited to the needs of Massachusetts, for equal suffrage, and for a readjustment of tax laws. Coolidge Praises Legislature. President Calvin Coolidge of the State Senate declared the character of members of the Legislature has not deteriorated. Chairman Edward A. Thurston of the Republican State Committee described the conditions with which that body is confronted. Ex Lieutenant Governor Louis A. Frothingham presided. TxAssistant United States Attorney General William H. Lewis delivered the oration. He said: "For four brief years Abraham Lincoln represented the soul of the nation struggling for immortality. No scrap of printed page announced his birth, yet the whole civilized world followed his bier and today Lincoln is a vital living force in American life and in American politics. "Men of various political stripes profess to be following his principles, but I fear they are following a long way behind them. I doubt if Lincoln, were he to return tonight, would even recognize his own party. "The principles for which he stood and died, the principles of pure democracy, equality for all men before the law, have vanished. Many of the same issues which confronted Lincoln are living today, and not one Republican statesman dares to champion them. "As long as one man is disfranchised in the South, a man is disfranchised in the North. As it is now, one vote in the South is equal to five votes here. A voter in the South has five times the power in the North. If you want to get back, you have got to do justice to all men, for when a quan is denied a voice in the government, that is despotism. "For Liberty and Equality. "If the Republican party is to survive, if the work of Lincoln is to be continued and completed, it behooves us, as his followers, to hark back to the old ideals of liberty, equality and fraternity. "We welcome to our shores all races and democracy has embraced them all. I think that all who believe in our institutions, who are physically and morally fit, should come here. Only the Indian is indigenous to American soil—all others are foreigners. There is only one man who hasn't trespassed—it was the African, who was invited to come here. "You're in the minority in this Nation because you have betrayed the principles of Lincoln and his party and if you expect to get back those millions of votes you have thrown away you must champion Lincoln's principles. We shut our eyes today and prate that this is a government of the people, for the people and by the people: in reality, it is a government of some of the people, by some of the people and for a few of the people. "You must labor for Lincoln's Republicanism, for Lincoln's democracy, which includes all races and all the children of men."

GOOD WORK By Colored People—What They Are Doing South—Rural School Letter No. 7—Practical Training in Negro Rural Schools. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Education, Division of Rural Education. January 19. 1914 How industrial training, under a system of supervising industrial teachers, has not only vitalized the Negro rural schools into which it has been introduced, but is also having far-reaching economic and social effects on rural conditions generally, is described by Jackson Davis, State Supervisor of elementary schools in Virginia, in the December issue of the Southern Workman, published by Hampton Institute. Mr. Davis says in part: "A few efforts had been made here and there throughout the South to tie up the work of the country school to the life of the home and the farm, but it was not until the establishment of the Jeanes Fund for Negro rural schools that a general effort was made in this direction. In Henrico County, Virginia, in the fall of 1909, following a conference of the school officials of the county with agents of the Jeanes Fund, a supervising industrial teacher was employed and put to work in all of the colored schools of the county. The pioneer work of Virginia Randolph in overcoming the indifference of her own people, organizing improvement leagues at each school, introducing simple forms of industrial work, and in the enlistment of the active interest of the white people in these efforts for improvement in practical ways, met with such success that a new spirit was soon ablaze in each colored community, and the schools were transformed in appearance and in the general character of their work. Other counties all over the South have taken up this work through the aid of the Jeanes Fund and pronounced it good. "The general plan, so successful in its early demonstration, has continued to grow and meet with approval. It has developed initiative among the colored rural people; and it has tied their interests together in a school for a better neighborhood. The moral effect has been noticed by the white people around them, and their support of this movement has been hearty. "Supervising industrial teachers were employed in 130 counties in the Southern States last session. This work has been made possible in most cases by the Jeanes Fund, but the couns is, as they see the splendid results, are putting up more money from local funds for the support of the w x, and in some counties the teacher's salary is paid entirely from local school funds. "In sending out trained colored teachers to supervise the rural schools we are putting the best leadership of the Negro race to work in the task of bringing about better training, better farming, better living among the Negroes in the country districts. "The school is almost the only point where conscious effort is made by the white people to influence and develop the Negro race, and here is a great opportunity for constructive work, a indeed the supervising teachers are showing. In organizing the school improvement leagues they are bringing the older colored people together in the interest of better things, and are calling forth the spirit of self-help which is indispensable to their progress. "One of the most promising developments in Negro education has been the co-operation of the supervising industrial teacher with the farm-demonstration agent, in working during the summer months with clubs of girls who make home gardens and can their vegetables and fruits for winter use. This feature of the work was begun in Virginia two years ago in four counties. During the past summer it was carried on in fourteen. Under this plan the industrial teachers are employed for the entire twelve months. At the close of the school term they organize garden clubs among the larger girls. They visit them in their homes, meet them in groups, give them practical instruction for their gardens, and teach canning, cooking, and sewing in the homes. The teachers are in great demand during the summer months, not only among the girls, but among their mothers as well, for they too have been eager to learn the "government way" of canning vegetables. "Negroes, either as tenants, owners, or laborers, cultivate farms in the South with an area of 100,000,000 acres. This is an area equal to four times that of the State of Virginia. ```markdown ``` Box19, Station J, New York City. Much of this land, as we know, is cultivated in the very poorest fashion. We shall have a one-sided civilization as long as we have twentieth-century methods in our cities and eighteenth-century methods on our farms. If we deny the Negro the training which he needs to make a better citizen and a better man and a better farmer, we suppress our rural life and hold down our average to a lower level, and we continue to have him wear out the soil, which is our greatest natural wealth. Training of the right kind that will replace obsolete methods with intelligent methods, that will replace insanitary cabins with respectable homes, neglected shacks with attractive school houses, a superstitious religion with an intelligent work for the coming of the Kingdom of God on earth—this is the rural civilization which some think must be wrought by a by a miracle, but which nevertheless seems to be slowly evolving as a result of the new type of education which I have attempted to describe." FERTILE LANDS And Rich Oil Deposits Making Negroes Rich in Oklahoma—Muskogee a Beautiful City Where Negroes Are Making Good—Something About the Thrift and Progress of Race in the City Where the Next Meeting of the Negro Business League Will Be Held. (By Ralph W. Tyler.) Muskogee, Okla.-To the "down easterner" the city of Muskogee and the State of Oklahoma are "beyond the confines of civilization," localities where the yet moccasined, feather-bedecked and blanket-robed Indian roams, and where the movies' cowboy breaks the monotony by shooting up the town in the good old-fashioned way. It is hard to convince those who live east of the Mississippi and who have never come this way, that this town, 1,348 miles from the nation's capitol, is a beautiful city, with ashpalt-paved streets, and cement sidewalks, with residences and business blocks, for pretentiousness, the equal of those in any of the far eastern cities of the same size; that business enterprise, culture and refinement is as much a prized commodity as in the New England or Middlewestern States, and that the Indian and cowboy are neither as numerous, picturesque or as bally bad as the movies display them. There are more gunmen in New York City than in all Oklahoma. One feels isolated out here, but it is a delightful, compensating: isolation, for nowhere is there hospitality more generous; nowhere are there men and women more robustly honest, and nowhere is a stranger made to feel more at home than in Oklahoma. One has but one regret on reaching this city, and that is the regret at leaving. There are ten thousand Negroes in this city, they forming one-third of the total population. That they are a thrifty set is shown by their real estate holdings, which aggregate $1,500,000; the $150,000 they have invested in business enterprises, and their cash in bank, which will total, conservatively $60,000, and their per capita wealth of $142.08. They are an intelligent set is shown by their splendid schools, public and private; their very efficient corps of teachers; their seventeen churches, some of which for beauty, commodiousness and cost would do credit to cities with a far larger Negro population. And here intelligence and clean morals among Negro ministers is the rule, not the exception. This ten thousand Negro population supports well eighteen Negro physicians, three dentists, fourteen lawyers and fifty merchants. What city of ten thousand Negroes cast of the Mississippi can show a better record? How many can equal this showing? The eighty Negro teachers in this city will compare favorably for ability with the white teachers of this or any other city, and for enthusiasm shown in their work, their interest in racial uplift work few cities can produce their peers. The delegates and visitors who will come to this city-next August to attend the National Negro Business League will not only meet with a revelation in Negro progress, but they will receive an inspiration from these hustling, progressive, intelligent Muskogeites. The finest, largest and most modern clothing-store, conducted by a Negro, is here in Muskoge, and it vies, in volume of trade and the largeness and character of stock carried, with the best white clothing stores in this city, or eastern city of the same size. And T. J. Elliott, who established and now conducts this store, began his business career by carrying a holt of cloth DIRECTIONS.—First cleanse the scalp with Ceruti's Tar Shampoo, then oil the hair well with Ceruti's African Eureka Cream, remove the catch at the extreme end of the metallic frame of the comb, and takes out rod, heat red hot, and replace same, the comb is then ready for use. Then comb the hair, letting the hair pass over the tube containing the rod, after inserting the rod in the tube. PRICE LIST Shampooing, 50 cents up. Transformations from $1.50 up. Pompadours from 25 cents up. Wipes from $3 up. Monthly treatments, $3. Ceruti's Skin Food, $1.50. Ceruti's African Eureka Cream, for the hair, 50 cents. Ceruti's Tar Shampoo, 25 cents. Ceruti's Scalp cleaner, $1.00. When ordering send sample of your own hair. Describe the article you want. over his shoulders soliciting orders for tailor-made clothes. Adjoining Mr. Elliott's clothing store is the finest dry goods store—a real, up-to-date dry goods store, conducted by M. Adams and managed with marvelous success. And nowhere in this country is there an art studio and photograph gallery, conducted by Negro, the equal of the one here owned and operated by Mr. Green. It has not its counterpart, for size furnishings and artistry, among Negroes, in the country, and has few equals among the whites. Some of the other lines of business conducted by Negroes in this city are: Drift stores, four in number; bank, insurance, undertaking, groceries, tailo shops, print shops, laundries, confectionaries, cafes, harness making, etc. It is estimated the Negro business concerns here do an annual gross business of $600,000. The Negro attorneys here are a keen, brilliant set of men, the most prominent being Messrs. Stewart, Brown, Lilly, McRea, Twine, Jefferson and W. Scott Brown, a former Cleveland boy. The physicians are not only skillful, like the dentists, but, like the attorneys, they take a very active interest in everything looking to racial progress. I found that Ohioans have invaded this healthy, robust, hustling new State in the Southwest, for here I met Herbert A. Clark, a former Cincinnati, who resides here, but conducts The Wagoner American, one of the best race newspapers published, over in Wagoner, fourteen miles from Muskogee; his wife is musical director of the public schools here; Attorney Twine, a one time Xenia, Ohio, boy, W. Scott Brown, a successful attorney who formerly lived in Cleveland, and Mrs. Avenger, teacher in the public schools, formerly a Miss Trent, of Columbus, Ohio. Finding so many old acquaintances from my native State so far from the old "base of supplies," naturally increased the pleasure of my stay here. But had these not been here, Muskogee's proverbial hospitality would have made me feel at home. One thing commendable which this city maintains, is a real live Local Business League, and this is the headquarters of the State Negro Business League, a most splendidly active organization. The City Council of Philadelphia last year appropriated $5,000 of the city's funds to entertain the National Negro Business League when it met in that city last August. Some idea of the co-operative spirit, race pride and race progress prevailing here may be found in the fact that the members of the Oklahoma State Negro Business League will themselves contribute $5,000 this year to entertain the National League when it meets in this city in August next. The various committees in charge of preparations for entertaining the national body are just as active, just as earnest now, six months in advance of the meeting, as if the meeting was but a few days off. Unquestionably the meeting this year at Muskogee will break all previous records for attendance, enthusiasm and results, and Muskogee will be prepared to take care of all who come. One of the most enthusiastic race men in this city and State, is T. J. Elliott, and he has innoculated all with his enthusiasm. He is justly popular because he is an active quantity in every racial effort, and he and Emmett R. Stewart, president of the State League, are, figuratively, burning up Oklahoma. On entering the State my only regret was that I would have to leave, and I am looking forward eagerly to a return, and all who come to this city, and to this State, cannot help but feel the same, for in Muskogee, and in Oklahoma, the race is bounding on to success, making rapid progress, educationally and materially, in spite of Jim Crow car laws, and grandfather disfranchising laws. The first is effective because of executive power behind it; the second is proving abortive because the Negroes are rapidly qualifying under the very law which was aimed at disqualifying. The abortiveness of the second will, eventually, annul the first. This city has many splendid men and excellent women of the race, and these are responsible for the great progress one finds here among Negroes. Fertile lands and great oil deposits are making Negroes rich out here. While here I met and talked with Sarah Rector, the little Negro girl of fabulous wealth, and also her parents. P. C. Copelain, a colored man, is the leading character in Vicksburg. Miss. The Copelain Cafe, of which he is proprietor, is one of the most successful businesses of its kind in the city made famous by Grant's siege. PERSONAL OR RACE SALVATION? Pastor Russell's "Movies" Teach Both Views. Moody and Beecher Quoted by Dr. Abbott as Representing Opposing Views of Salvation—Pastor Russell Shows That Both Views Are Biblical—At Opening of Photo-Drama of Creation in Indiana's Capitol City. Indianapolis, Ind., Feb. 15.—Pastor Russell is here, opening the Photo-Drama of Creation at Tomlinson Hall. Besides the initial great expense of this beautiful and instructive Drama, it must cost a fabulous sum to have it going in PASTOR RUSSELL Indianapolis, Ind., Feb. 15.—Pastor Russell is here, opening the Photo-Drama of Creation at Tomlinson Hall. Besides the initial great expense of this beautiful and instructive Drama, it must cost a fabulous sum to have it going in several places at PASTOR RUSSELL have it going in several places at one time—New York, Boston, Cleveland, Cincinnati, St. Louis, and here—and in Chicago and other places soon! Whence all this money for so grand a cause?—all free! Why do you not charge a dollar a seat? are the questions everywhere. Pastor Russell's only answer is, "I cannot sell the Gospel. Jesus and His Apostles never took up collections, nor authorized begging in God's name, so far as the Bible shows. People blessed by the Message voluntarily send me money to further the good work of reestablishing faith in God and the Bible amongst thinking people. In proportion as God supplies it we spend it. It must be so!" The Pastor's text was: "God wills that all should be saved and come to a knowledge of the Truth." (1 Timothy 2:4.) He declared that this salvation for all will be from the sin, sickness and death all inherit from Adam; and that it will be ushered in by Christ's Kingdom. The salvation now in progress is that of the Church—a "chief," or superior salvation. However, "Second Death" will be the portion of all who prefer sin to holiness. Dr. Abbott on Beecher and Moody. In the course of his sermon the Pastor said: Dr. Lyman Abbott, the immediate successor to Henry Ward Beecher as Pastor of the Plymouth Church. Brooklyn, delivered an address, on October 12th last, at a Beecher Memorial service, in which, he stated: "Mr. Beecher was the most famous preacher in America, perhaps in the world, and the most sharply criticized. He never fell under the condemnation pronounced against the prophet of whom all speak well. I was present—the year was probably 1870, though I am not sure—at an interview between Mr. Moody and Mr. Beecher, in which the former urged Mr. Beecher to leave the Plymouth Church for a world-wide evangelistic tour with him. After Mr. Moody had gone, Mr. Beecher said to me: "I should like to do it, but it is impossible. We do not agree. Mr. Moody believes that this is a lost world, and he is trying to save some from the wreck. I believe that it is the world itself that is to be saved, and that the kingdoms of this world are to become the Kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ." Dr. Abbott has stated very succinctly the two views of religion which generally prevail today, and which were able represented by Mr. Beecher and Mr. Moody. While the difference between these two views is a wide one, and seemingly the one contradicts the other, nevertheless this is not so. Both views contain an element of Truth. Both views have Scriptural support. The right understanding of the Bible lies in seeing both of these views are parts of a general whole. Whoever can get a gilpse of that general whole thereby gradually increases both his confidence in the Bible and his own faith and hope toward God. Whoever fails to get that comprehensive view remains weak in faith and uncertain of his theology. He continually recognizes a lack and continually finds a conflict between his heart and his head, between his view of the Bible teaching and his reason. The End of the Discord. Let us note the two sides of this subject from the Bible viewpoint; and thereby satisfy and harmonize our hearts and our heads, and convince ourselves that the Story of the Cross and of the world's Redemption is the true Story of the Divine Program, and that the results will not be narrow and meager, but broad and generous. Mr. Moody merely held to the teachings of Jesus, the Apostles and the Prophets when he declared that that which God created perfect, in His own image, had been sadly wrecked by disobedience; that a curse, or blight, had come upon mankind; and that this curse, or Divine sentence of death, is behind all the tears and pain and groans, behind all the mental, moral and physical weaknesses with which we and our neighbors are surrounded. It is a matter of heredity. Instead of our condition being one of evolution from a lower to a higher plane, it is a condition of devolution from a higher to a lower plane. The reaction from barbarism to civilization through the influence of Chris- density was indeed a step upward from the depths of degradation for many, but it was not a step out of the degradation. The reign of Sin and Death still prevails. Despite our education, the heart of man is still selfish and sinful, and the human body still full of aches and pains. Sighing and trying still continue. Not only have we not found a panacea, a cure-all, but despite our most persistent efforts diseases are multiplied, and our race is growing mentally and physically weaker. But while the Gospel of Christ has not as yet saved the world, it has proven a wonderful blessing to those who have become sincere followers of Jesus—a salutary few. To these the Gospel has not only brought peace and joy, but has been to them "the power of God unto salvation." It has saved them from many of their weaknesses and fears. More than this, it is preparing them for a completeness of salvation, to be brought unto them at the Second Coming of Jesus, when they, according to His promise, shall experience a complete change of nature—from earthly condition to Heavenly, from weakness to power, from humiliation to glory, from animal, or human, conditions to spirit conditions. The Right In Mr. Beecher's Theory. The Right In Mr. Beecher's Theory. But Mr. Beecher's view, also, contains Bible Truth. Although the kingdoms of this world have not yet become the Kingdom of our Lord, although as yet every knee does not bow and every tongue confess to the glory of God, nevertheless, according to the Bible, the final outcome of the Divine Plan will include all these things. Amongst other things prophesied, the knowledge of the glory of God has not yet filled the whole earth. Not yet are all the blinded eyes of ignorance and superstition opened, nor are all the deaf ears unstopped. The Bible explanation of the situation is that God from the very beginning purposed the permission of sin. in order to give valuable instruction to angels and to men respecting the sinfulness of sin and its dire consequences, God's Law declares, "The soul that sinneth, it shall die." "The wages of sin is death." We were confused by the errors which crept into Church creeds during the Dark Ages, when the Bible was practically non-existent, when the bishops were supposed to be the successors of the Apostles, and when their decisions were considered infallible. Their teaching that the dead are alive misled us, turned us away from the Bible teaching that the dead are dead. Their teachings respecting a fiery Hell and a Purgatory led us away from the Bible teaching on the subject of future punishment. Now we find that the Bible Hell is the tomb, the death state; and that God In His great Plan has arranged to abolish our sentence of death by the universal awakening of the dead. All in the graves shall hear the voice of the Son of Man and come forth—John 5:29, 29. R. V. The Bible teaches that God has an orderly Plan for His entire work; and that not until man has passed through six great Days from his creation, each a thousand years long, will his Week of labor, toll and strife against sickness, pain, sorrow and death be at an end. Then Messiah's long-promised Kingdom will be established. Christ shall come, a spirit being, and shall dethrone Satan, who through human superstition and ignorance has become the master of men. Satan shall be bound for a thousand years; and Messiah shall be the great King of earth, though his Kingdom will be invisible to men as Satan's kingdom is invisible—because composed of spirit beings. The Glorious View of the Bible. The grand work of the Kingdom of God (Jesus and His glorified Church operating through human agencies) will be a work of Restitution. (Acts 3:19-21.) As Adam fell from the moral image of his Creator, he is to have the opportunity of rising again to this image, because redeemed by Messiah's sacrifice. The Church's salvation, in progress since Pentecost, is a salvation to a Heavenly existence, by a change of nature. But the world's salvation will consist of a restoration to perfect human nature, which will find its perfection of enjoyment in an earthly Eden, gradually becoming world-wide. As Adam's death sentence was accompanied by sickness, sorrow and pain, so when the Redeemer shall apply to mankind at His Second Coming the general forgiveness and amnesty promised in the Bible, the result will be the gradual elimination of sickness, sorrow and pain. By the close of Messiah's thousand-year Reign, there shall be no more sin or death. The curse will thus gradually disappear, giving place to Divine blessing and fellowship—Revelation 21:5; 22:3. Many Bible students believe that the wonderful increases of knowledge and blessings in the world witnessed during the past fifty years are evidences foretold by the Bible, indicating that we are already in the dawn of that New Day of Messiah's Kingdom. The running to and fro and increase of knowledge, the wise of God's people understanding, and the imminence of a great Time of Trouble (Daniel 12:1-4, 9, 10; Matthew 24:21), point out that we are in the time of the ending of the old order of things, and the dawning of the new. Approach of the Great Time of Trouble. will then be established. God's Word declares: "When the judgments of the Lord are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness." (Isaiah 26:9.) Then willful evil doers will be cut off in the Second Death, without hope of further redemption, whilst the obedient will attain human perfection. Beecher and Abbott Evolutionists Rev. Lyman Abbott eulogized Mr. Beecher as one of the first ministers to accept Darwin's theory of Evolution. No doubt this is so. A good man, broad and generous, but misled by the creeds, thought that he found in Evolution something more rational than the Bible taught. He endeavored to link the two together, as others have endeavored to do, only to fall; for the Bible throughout is in direct opposition to the Evolution theory. It distinctly teaches the fall of man. Jesus declared that He came to recover that which was lost. God sent His Only Begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on Him should not perish. St. Peter tells of the Restitution of fallen man to his former glorious estate, in the likeness of his Creator. If Darwin's theory be correct, then Jesus, His Apostles, and all the Prophets, were astray. But what is the Evolution hope? Briefly stated, this: That some distance back our forefathers were monkeys; that we have progressed in a measure, but are still perishing, as did our monkey forefathers. Under Darwin's law of the Survival of the Fittest, disease and death will gradually weed out the more stupid and vicious (as it is not doing, so far as any one can see), that in the far-off future our children may attain such perfection as to know how to live forever and rightly enjoy the blessings of earthly life. Perhaps the Evolution hope is better than none! Surely it is better than the eternal torment hope of the Dark Ages! but it must be far from soul-satisfying to all who think deeply. But the Bible hope proposes that Messiah's Kingdom shall take in the entire race of Adam, and by disciplinary instructions and encouragements shall help all the willing and obedient to human perfection. This hope for the world is beyond the special hope which is the exclusive portion of the fully consecrated disciples of Jesus. Dr Abbott sympathized with us in advance, saying, "There are still some belated preachers who endeavor to persuade their congregations that Evolution is perilous to the soul, and who found their religious teaching on the old doctrines of a finished creation, an absentee God, and a pestilence-stricken world." We confess that we belong to this class. There can be no doubt that we are living in a pestilence-striken world, and that conditions here are not such as a gracious and loving Being would provide for His intelligent creatures. Rather, as St. Paul declares, the world is under a reign of Sin and Death, which has prevailed since the time Father Adam was cut off from fellowship with His Heavenly Father, under the sentence of death—Romans 5:1221. The condition of the pestilence-striken world is permitted in order to carry out the penalty upon our convict race. The Bible declares that God is allowing mankind to learn a great lesson of their own incompetence and helplessness, which will be valuable to all eternity to both men and angels; that present trials and difficulties and death will be overruled for man's good. For six thousand years men have been learning the bitter results of disobedience to the laws of righteousness, and their need of help Divine. Only a few yet know that "God is Love." But such as see the true light of God's Word as to the fall, the Redemption-price, the call of the Church to joint-heels in Messiah's Kingdom, and the eventual Reign of Righteousness, have a great joy and blessing. As for others, we begrudge them not whatever joy or peace they can get out of any theory that will liberate from the horrible nightmare of the Dark Ages. Was Your Grandfather an Ape? Continuing his eulogy of Mr. Beecher, Dr. Abbott said: "But no one any longer asks sarcastically. 'So you think your grandfather was an ape?' And few are they who still venture to denounce as atheists those who believe in life as a process of Divine growth, and redemption as a process of spiritual development." We fear Dr. Abbott is right—that the learned in pulpit and pew have so thoroughly lost their faith in the God of the Bible that they no longer reproach one another with the fact But is the fact any the less true for this reason? Suppose all the great minds accept the Evolution theory—that Adam was the son of an apel and oppose the Bible teaching that he was a special and direct creation of God, the moral image of his Creator. Suppose all those decide that man never fell from perfection, and never needed a redemption, and that all the Bible statements respecting Jesus as the Redeemer are false. Suppose the literati do hold that all earthly life is merely a development, an evolutionary process, called, in a complimentary sense, "Divine growth," with the thought that quite probably there is no Divine Being, but merely some great force operating in nature—that redemption is only a higher development of the moral instincts. What of all this? Must we accept such decisions as final? Shall we not rather take the assurances of the Bible respecting these very men of letters? Of these great scholars the Lord prophesied thousands of years ago, saying, "The wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid" (Isaiah 20:14). St. Paul declares, "The wisdom of this world is foolishness with God."—1 Corinthians 3:18-20. THE BEE Published at 1100 Eye St. N. W., Washington, D. C. W.

The State of Mississippi has reason to boast of great men. There have been men elected from that State to the United States Senate who have been senatorial ornaments. James K. Vardaman can be no more compared to the late Senator L. Q. C. Lamar than a native of the Feji Islands. As Senator from the State of Mississippi Mr. Lamar had no equal with but two exceptions, and those exceptions were the late B. K. Bruce and Renells. Senator Lamar, although a Democrat, recognized in Messrs. Bruce and Renells, although colored Americans, superior statesmanship to that of James K. Vardaman. As an associate Mr. Lamar could be seen locked arms with Mr. Bruce, walking the streets of the Capital of the nation. Senator Lamar was a hightoned, polished and able statesman, who saw in the colored citizens of his State superiority to James K. Vardaman. Mr. Bruce was a first-class politician, a statesman and one of the most polished orators in this country. Mr. Bruce was different from many representative men of his time. Whenever he went he was honoured and respected. He may have had one fault. He would give more consideration to his enemies than he would to his friends and yet he would be the last man to attempt to injure either. The Editor of this paper knew him to do more for his enemies than he would for his friends and would always receive the states of those whom he had helped. Senator Lamar, while he was a Democrat, honored and respected Mr. Bruce. If either could look upon the State of Mississippi today what would they think? What would either think and say if they could but return and see James K. Vardaman representing the State that was dear and near to them? Mr. Vardaman sees nothing in the colored citizens of his State but the impossible. Even Wade Hampton, M. C. Butler and other Southern statesmen of their tribe overthrew Republican rule because white carpetbaggers obtained control of their State by deceiving the colored voters of their State. That was a time when the colored voters could have divided consistently and kept the enemies of the colored voters from obtaining power. Conditions in South Carolina and Mississippi were made so by such men as Mr. Vardamen and his followers. But, why should the colored citizens lament? There is virtue in their prayer. Every tongue of the slanderer of the colored Americans are being silenced by the power of God. The colored Americans have more faith in prayer than they have in firearms. Prayer does its work and the wound is more lingering. There is a passage in the scriptures which imports that the lion shall be tamed, that a little child shall lead him. The time will soon come when Mr. Vardaman will appeal to those whom he has defamed, to relieve him of his miseries. Bruge, Lamar, Renells and Vardaman! Compare them. PROBATION OFFICERS Judge Lattimer of the Juvenile Court is making every effort to obtain a new building and additional probation officers. It is believed that the learned and progressive Judge will appoint at least one or two colored females. We have a colored population of at least ninety thousand, which would, at least, entitle us to two probation officers, if Judge Lattimer is disposed to give this colored population representation. From the increase of crime in this city among the juveniles. Why there is so many offenses committed among the younger classes, The Bee is unable to state. Sending juveniles to the Reform School may be a benefit, but The Bee doesn't see it in the light that some do. A lad should not be sent to the Reform School unless it is utterly impossible to control him. If the proper probation officers are selected, The Bee is of the opinion that there would be less cause to send so many juveniles to the Reform School. In the selection of probation officers, when Congress sees fit to accede to the request of Judge Lattimer and necessity demands the immediate passage of the vice, The Bee hopes that Judge Lattimer will give the colored citizens at least two or three. In the Police Court there is an urgent necessity for a competent colored probation officer. The Bee sees from personal observation the necessity for one. The same interest is not taken in young colored women by the probation officer as in the white woman who may have committed offense. Judge Pugh remarked from the bench some time ago that the moment a high-toned white woman is brought to his court for shop-lifting or for some other offense, she is afflicted with a disease that makes her irresponsible. Every effort is made to convince the court and the prosecuting attorney, Mr. Given, to convince them of the diseased condition of the defendant. The prosecuting attorney never sees it as many lawyers see it. The Judge smiles when a plea of that character is made. But no colored female, no matter how refined, should make such a plea, it becomes ludicrous. We need colored probatic officers in both the Juvenile and lice Courts. The Criminal Court pro officer looks through one glasses. They all look at him. No better man could been selected for the posit takes as much interest in ored prisoner as he does white one. THE COLOR LINE Miss Lucy Moten, principal of the Normal School No. 1, will not tolerate lily whitism in her school, and if The Bee has been creditably informed Miss Moten publicly denounced it when it showed itself. The Bee is informed that there are one or two male teachers and at least one or two female teachers that cater to lily whitism. That a certain light "yellow" in the normal school thinks that she is too white to associate with pupils darker than she is. When Miss Moten's attention was called to the conduct of this so-called lily-white, without calling any name, Miss Moten, among other things, said: "If there is any female pupil in this school who thinks herself too white to associate with her pupils, she ought to go to some other school." This particular individual. The Bee is informed, never fails to receive a good mark from certain male and female teachers. Complaint has also been made that darker complexioned pupils are not fairly treated by certain teachers, and parents of these pupils have complained. There are two or three would-be white teachers in our schools who would be white if they could. These lily whites should be removed and colored teachers appointed in their places. A Negro teacher who is too black to be white or too white to be black, should be removed from our schools. Miss Moten, who could pass for white anywhere, is not affected in the least, about her color, and will not tolerate the color line in her school In the January number of the Crisis, appears an editorial attacking the Methodist ministry or the colored ministry in general. The editorial was inspired by virtue of the removal of the editor and business manager of the Christian Recorder. If one man is too immoral to hold a position on the Recorder there is no reason to blame the entire ministry of that denomination or any other denomination. There are a few bad men, it is true, in all ministerial denominations as well as there are many good men. While it is true that more safeguards should be thrown around the ministry, still we should not blame every minister for the ills and wrongs of a few. In this city we have good ministers in all denominations, and their churches are in a prosperous condition, and many of the ministers are good and upright men. Can't a minister be joyial without being immoral? The harder a minister works the less he gets. Ought not the, Crisis modify its editorial that appeared in its January number? Let us reflect. RACIAL COMBINATION RACIAL COMBINATION. The President will send to the Senate the names of a Negro, an Irishman, and a Jew, to be judges of the Municipal Court: Messrs. Robert H. Terrell, Michael M. Doyle, and Milton Strasburger. The President has shown good politics. He has given the leading nationalities in America representation. The Bee, as well as others, regrets the retirement of Judge Striders. It has no tears to shed for Messrs. Bundy and Callan. Mr. Bundy's segregation speech did not do him any good. No man should be a judge of any court who advocates discrimination. President Wilson didn't bite. The bait was too objectionable for his taste. No lawyer with any sense will shed any tears for Callan and Bundy. The leading memers of the bar have the highest respect for Judge Terrell, and the people extend their congratulation to him and their thanks to the President and Attorney General McReynolds. The Democrats in the Senate would only muzzle Vardaman it will help their party. JUDGE TERRELL The Bee congratulates Judge Robert H. Terrell, on his reappointment as one of the judges of the Municipal Court. No appointment has met with greater approval and commendation that has been made by President Wilson. Judge Terrell has made a most capable and satisfactory Judge of the Municipal Court. He is the best indorsed man before the President, and as one of the local contemporaries said a few days ago, that if he failed to be appointed it would be on account of his color and nothing more. The Bee feels confident that Judge Terrell will be confirmed, notwithstanding any objections that may be made by Senator Vardaman. NEGRO DEMOCRATS Those so-called Negro Democrats should bury their heads. They ought not to raise their heads again above the pie counter. A meeting was published in a local paper a few days ago to the effect, the progress of colored Democratic Association will meet some time soon to map out a line of campaign. These sap-heads ought to lay down and die, because they are menaces to the colored people. They don't represent anything or any body. FATHER WHAT YOU SAY: The Bee gives notice that it will not publish unsigned articles or communications. Correspondents who have attacks to make upon individuals must sign their names, not necessarily for publication, but a guarantee of good faith. Writers who are too cowardly to sign their names to articles of all lands will not be published, but consigned to the dead letter box. All articles must be fathered. SMITH AND VAROAMAN. If President Wilson will give Vardamar and Hoke Smith to understand that he will give those two prejudiced Southern-ers any more patronage if they oppose the confirmation of Judge Terrell it would put-a quietus on them. These two men are not the entire Senate M. B. JUDGE ROBERT H TERRELL The Only Judge of the Municipal Court to Be Renominated by the President—A Graduate of Harvard College and Howard University. Law School. Public Men Ard Things (By the Sage of the Potomac.) You know some people become angry when you don't allow them to abuse others. A man who edits a paper is often more sinned against than sinning. He is not always the sinner—it is the man who remains out of sight. I have noticed for some time the old "has been," They seem to have a particular love for the Black Prince of Vermont Avenue. Thomas is a genial fellow and he never fails to make his guest welcome. I am a particular admirer of Mrs. J. She is a politician from the heart, a devoted mother and a genial wife. Speaking of Thomas L. Jones, he may have his eccentricities, but he knows how to navigate. He has several applications from the "has been." I understand, for partnership. If ever he takes a partner you can just bet he is run crazy, sure enough. The atmosphere of Sixth and D Streets has gotten down to its normal condition. Attorney Armond is in Virginia and from there he will go to North Carolina. Armond is planting posts for the next election of the Elks. My Lord Fauntelroy is some diplomat. You must take off your hat to him. Tallyrand, the French premier, is a secondary diplomat to Lord Fauntelroy. Well, just watch the lightning changes this year. Willie Hansitor is now a citizen of the District of Columbia and in all likelihood he will be a member of the Board of Education. Because a member of the Board of Education has a niece in the Sewing Department is no reason that she should be allowed to dominate over other teachers. There is -too much of this kind of business going on, anyway. Prof. Kelly Miller is becoming to be a national character. I wonder what kind of a President of Howard University he would make. I bet you that he would make the fur fly and put man at the posts and give them instructions to keep watch. I like Kelly. Because he is the greatest opposite back rider in the world. Well, Judge Terrell has won out, Just think of it, only two colored lawyers opposed his nomination and they were candidates for his place and citizens of other states. Every white lawyer of any note supported his nomination. My citizen Bundy, who straddled on segregation with the hope of losing nominated, lost. Ex-Judge Bundy's name will go down in history not as a judge who didn't favor discrimination, but as one who was unhonored by the administration to which he endeavored to cater. "If you have tears, prepare to shed them now, because the end of a once ined man is now at an end." Coludson W. Lyons, who is anxious to practise law, should hang up his single or return to Augusta, Gailudson, who has lowered himself from a dignified politician to that of a gossipier, would do well to keep busy doing something haudable. Judson is a good fellow, and when he was Register of the Treasury he didn't hesitate to contribute to the colored American that lived on imaginary greatness. Judson, in coarse of convention, said one day he contributed at least $1,500 to this paper. Oh, if the Colonel had just one-third of that amount today, he would go in sections to Atlantic City and remain until the sea birds made their appearance. Speaking about gossippers, some men are like some women; they would rather grunt than do anything else. Many of them believe their own stories. Lawyer Ricks, whose wife is interested in the Ricks Foundation, remarked the other day that it costs him more money to care for other people's children than it does his own. Of course, Col. Ricks is a liberal and money-making individual. The madame never fails to draw for her foundation whenever she is short. I congratulate The Bee in securing the services of such an accomplished writer as Miss Williams. I hope to see her greatly in evidence. I admire female journalists. Some of the greatest female writers in the world may be found among females. In speaking of good writers among females I cannot overlook Miss G. B. Maxfield. Beyond all doubt, I think she is one of the most clever female writers and business-like females among the colored woman of this county. She is a natural-born journalist and her refined manners never fail to win for her the admiration of all with whom she comes in contact. James Waters is a voluminous writer as well as a vindictive one. Jim doesn't care what he says or how he says it. Speaking about business men and an advertiser, Jesse Foster does the business. Strange to say, that I always sees his "dope" in white journals. Jesse is a great race man because she always employs colored attorneys. It would be more in keeping with his principles of consistency if he护照印 colored journals. I admire Jesse for his progressiveness. He is an up-to-date individual. He secures the latest articles in his business the market affords. All of the "Jim Crow" Negroes are not dead yet. I can't see them now standing at the side door leading to the gallery at the Academy to occupy Jim Crow" seats. *The Academy has gone out of business. There is no excuse for the "Jim Crow" Negro new. We have two colored theaters and dozens of motion picture theaters. We have drug stores, plentiful and everything the colored doctors may order. we are to be two changes on school Board next spring. My Houston is in grooming and all reports he will land Hous- ton, in a school as well as on the Board of Education, and no doubt he would, be a great acquisition to the board. Mrs. Harris is to be succeeded by an accomplished writer and authoress of ability. The occupation of the old regime, like Othello, has gone. Then everything will be serene. *** I favor Nelson, E. Wetherton for the head of the Armstrong Normal Training School. He has two or three trades and professions, while the present head has no trade, but theory. I would suggest to the present school head to make a few changes in the insubordinates, before Congress takes a hand. Let us all hope for a better day, when we all can dwell in brotherly love. *** Next week I shall deal with the lily whites in our schools and why they should go. **** "Ahm tiahed hearin' bout colored folks, Uraliah; yous always preachin' to me about 'your race' and 'Culud people' and 'people of color'.

"Oh cose Ah know he was some distant relation to Mr. Booker; but he nevah 'scovered set up like Tuskegee." "Where does he/come in for the hurrah stuff?" "Dere's two veah historical facts to know 'bout this Gawge Washington: he never hired no overseer to beat his slaves; he did the beatin' hisself: and when his father found him cuttin' down his cherry tree—caught him red-handed (to use some figgers of speech dat yah ignance fails to add)—and said to him, he says 'Gawgie, ma son, don't tell me a lie; are you cutting down my tree?' And Gawge 'sponded': 'Father, you saw me choppin' so I cann't tell a lie; I am choppin' your, tree.' And dat's what makes Gawge Washington famous." "Shucks, Ah thought he was way out there, a tango shark or principal de M Street High School. But dere's one thing certain and suchly; Uncle Bill would never put him on the Boad of Eddicashun if he couldn't tell a. lie." But tell me dis, Uraliah, what was dat big 'Mancipation meetin' up at 19th Street Church the yuther night and who is dat furriner, DuBois, dat the folks clapped their hands fur so long?" "Furriner nuthin". No immigrant either; he a gemman of color just like you is. Snowball. Only thing 'bout it is youse black and everybody knows it and you doan' care a rap and he is always dreamin' and sputin' 'bout being white. He's a smart man for all that but like all de rest of do smart ones, savin' only me—'an' you needn't be lafin heither—he wants to pull his way or no way whatever. When we do all get to pullin' together, us edificated pussons an' you uniliterated ones, the Associasun fur the Advancement of Cullud People's going to get one mighty boost." "Yessirree. But it's funny 'bout 'mancipation meetings o' dat kind. A whole lot of 'em will come to de meetin' and holter louder' a Methodist preacher at camp meetin' and den when you asst 'em for a small donation to aid along de cause all the race pride and 'thusiasm' gone a kitin'. In de words of Electricity Franklin, 'Millions in hot air but not ofe cent in de coin of the realm' En let me say dis to you right now, dey gets madder a dog wid a hot potater in his mouth if you sid up to dem an' retrorogate: 'Might awsk that size of your contribution to the cause of de N. A. A. C. P.' Th' Litt' Lord though gets the dough from the humble and from the mighty. He's got the habit of gettin' most everything he goes after—and if my memory survives me true—most everybody. 'Cose, however, heree' some folks dat eben he cann' bamboooo out o' anything that looks like money. Some of my fren's jus' ain' goin' to turn loose unless dey can see how dey, personally and individual is goin to benefit handsome. Speakin' o' not gettin' together dem two big bugs at Howard Anniversary dats so anxious to bus deservesles open with reputation thinkin' dat dey will some day to be President o' Howard, had better stop lettin' down de standards of entering, tryin' to boost one uf 'em one part, anudder de tother, so that folks is sayin' Howard is a Anniversary on paper—jus' on paper dats all. Congress' got th' vestigationist habit nohow. If dey start to 'vestigate dere dey' find things that'll smash two cullud pussons air-cottages all ter smith-ereens. "Tell me dis hefo you go, Uraliah, has you seed Judge Terrell lately?" "Stah. I sees him 'most anytime. En he's so happy he jis walks like Eva Tanguy don' the hesitation hop. He says dat de good Lawd intended from de beginnin dat he would hab anudder turn at sayin' "De Cote finds you not guilty 'cordin' to de statutes." You see it was like was like. Ole Massa up yonder he call Mr. Bacon an' Vardaman—he's de man said dat he wasn't goin' to let no niggah he Jedge ebene if dere wan't, no bread at home—he's got to go down to Georgy to de funeral. Now while he gone, you see, de President's goin' to kidnap his own little goat and send Jedge Terrell's name to the Senate fur compurgation. Will ole Vardaman be mad? Lemme tell you, Snowball, dis here thing looks mysterioused but all dese white folks unde-stan' one annudder. IS HE SINCERE? Why Send for Vardaman? Greensboro, N. C., Feb. 5. Editor The Bee. If President Wilson was sincere in the promises he made Bishop Waters during the presidential campaign as to his policy regarding the political treatment of the Negro during his administration, why does he keep on sending for Jim Vardaman for consultation as to his opinion and probable attitude in the premises? Unless he is casting about for some excuse for violating his promise and dis- charging his duty in the matter of colored appointments, Mr. Wilson is already, beforehand, well advised as to Vardaman's spirit and disposition relative to the political and civil rights of the Negro. If it were the voice of God that this government should be incumbered with a Democratic President, would that it had been a man possessing the moral stamina and backbone of the late Grover Cleveland and not one of the type of Woodrow Wilson. During Cleveland's first administration, beginning in 1884, the first colored appointment he made was James Matthews, of Albany, N. Y., to be Recorder of Deeds of the District of Columbia. Certain Democratio Senators, led by Senator Vance of North Carolina, antagonized the confirmation because of Matthews' color. The fight was long and bitter. Cleveland was obliged to withdraw Matthews' name. He did it, however, not because of his race, but on account of some charges presented to the committee against Matthews, which militated against final confirmation. No sooner than Matthews' name was withdrawn, Cleveland, without delay, sent in the name of Monroe Trotter's father, who as clerk had served eighteen years in the Boston postoffice, but was bounced during the presidential campaign, because of turning "Mugwump." After the appointment was sent to the Senate, Cleveland gave the Democratic Senators to understand in no uncertain terms that they would have to swallow the Negro and no other man or any other race for that place. The Southern Senators swallowed Trotter, for they saw that it was a case of "Hobson's choice." It was a bitter dose; they made wry faces, but down it went. After the Southern Senators tried the first dose of Negro appointments, they were given similar doses at convenient intervals not only during Cleveland's first administration, but also during his second term in 1892-96, until they got used to it. That's, the kind of Democratic President we need in the White House today. Yes, Mr. Wilson is not only "insincere," as you said in an editorial last week on the situation, but he is seemingly the weakest man, insofar as the recognition of the Negro politically is concerned, that has ever occupied a chair in the White House as President of this country. We sincerely trust that those so-called Negro Democrats who are guilty of misleading a few thousand members of their race into supporting Woodrow Wilson, have gotten their "fill" of him by this time.

Many baldheaded women attracted the major’s attention, and these wo- men attempted to hide their baldness “by the use of black paint or stain. which merely Jooked dirty.” Major Ashburn discovered a strange predilection of the Chinese doctors for Plasters and paste, and he declared “it 1s a rare Chinaman who does not have a plaster stuck on some part of his ‘anatomy.” Finally be discovered that ‘the practice of foot binding to reduce the size was carried on by the Chinese ‘women to such an excess as sofmetimes to necessitate the amputation of the feet. CITY FOLKS IN THE WOODS. ‘Careless About Their Fires and Cause ; Many Forest Blazes. Washington. — City folks’ careless- ness causes many forest fires, accord- ing to 2 statement just-submitted to the house agricultural committee by Henry S. Graves; government forester. . “In the summer time,” said Mr Graves, “the tourist and the camper from the city, unaccustomed to the woods, sets a good many fires from carelessness. We estimate that there are now using the national forests for recreation purposes upward of 1,500,- 000 people, and {n some cases it is a very real problem with us—the guid- ance of the people—to keep them from setting Ores carelessly. It Is always due to carelessness.” MEXICANS “ARE HAPPY IN REFUGEE CAMP Plenty to Eat, Little Work and Many Amusements, Fort’ Bliss, Tex.—There are many altuations more undesirable than that of 2 Mexican refugee enjoying Amer- fcan bounty at Fort Bliss, As a’place where there is abundance to cat and a minimum of work, the camp has galn- ed such repute locally that the Ameri- can soldiers guarding the camp must be constantly on the lookout to prevent hungry Mexicans from crawling under or climbing over the wire fence sur- rounding the camp to join their more fortunate fellows within.

They had little to do beyond unloading thelr packs containing household effects, blankets and certain treasures they had man- aged tosave. The government has fur- nished contca! wall tents for houses, which to most of the soldiers {s a Iux- ury. ‘The women are the. hardest workers in the camp, but they don’t hare to forage for food and fuel, as many of them have been doing for many months in northern Mexico, With a cheety fire to take the bite out of the north wind, and nothing to do most of the time but bask fn the sun, the men. women and children in the camp are well content. Every one in the camp must take a bath at least twice a week. ‘There are showers available so that those who care to may use them every day, but only a few take advantage of them.

"Whosoever shall confess Me before men, Man shall the Son of Man also confess before the angels of God. F. & LARGE crowd surrounded the Savior, anxious to hear Him. Jesus addressed His disciples, saying, "Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy." Here, as elsewhere in His teachings, Jesus used leaven as a symbol of an evil influence. We know not one instance in which leaven is used to represent anything good or pure. Jesus declared that the hypocrisies practised by the Pharisees were leaven, sin, contaminating. His disciples should be honest, sincere, pure, free from cant and deception. He declared that ultimately all hypocrisies and sin will be uncovered. Undoubtedly He meant that during His Kingdom the secrets of mankind will be exposed. No doubt this will constitute the basis of the shame which will be the punishment of many, as foretold. Fear Not Persecution. Jesus intimated that honesty of life would bring His followers persecution from hypocrites; but that they should not fear, even though it resulted in their death. The their death. The life worth considering is the everlasting one which eventually may be attained through the merit of Jesus' sacrifice. They should have no fear of man, but fear lost they be separated from God. ```markdown ``` "Fear Him who after He hath killed hath power to cast into Hell." The word Hell here ed hath power to "Beware of the Lea- cast into Hell." en of the Phar- ses." The word Hell here is Gehenna in the Greek. Primarily, this is the name of the valley outside Jerusalem into which offal was cast for utter destruction, and into which the vilest criminals were cast after execution—not to torment them, but to imply that there was no future for the wicked. Jesus used Gehenna as a type of the Second Death, the portion of all who intelligently, deliberately, sin against knowledge. As God's people become intimately acquainted with Him and realize that He is the Friend of all who love righteousness, their love for Him increases. As God forgets not the sparrows, so He will not forget them. Even a hair of their heads could not be injured without His knowledge and permission. Everything He permits to come to His children will work out for them some blessing. "Confess Me Before Men." Jesus' words were addressed to His disciples, not to the masses. None could deny Him who had never acknowledged Him. Whoever professes to be His disciple, and then ignores the Master's teachings, misrepresents Him, denies Him, and will not share in the glorious presentation of the Bride, in the end of this Age. The masses, of course, were in doubt. Jesus, saying that I was mad. The t such misunder-er were quite for-antly.

Sin has wrought death, not merely to man's body, but to his mind, his conscience. Ability to discern between right and wrong therefore varies. Additionally, some have opportunities for instruction more than others. The world in general knows not God, and hence could not sin against the Holy Spirit to a degree punishable with the Second Death. The Lord's faithful followers were to expect that amongst their tribulations would be false accusations which would bring them before magistrates. The disciples, usually unlearned, would feel great trepidation in the presence of educated officials. They were to know, however, that the Lord's blessing would be upon them, and were to commit all to Him. Nothling in this implies that Christian ministers should not study their subject. 2 Tim. 2:15. MAIL PLAN TO AID CONSUMER. Burleson to Give Him Direct Access to the Farmer. Washington.-The recent decision of the house committee on agriculture to ask for $194,000 instead of $94,000 to maintain the new division of markets in the department of agriculture makes known the plan of Postmaster General Burleson to use the division of markets and the parcel post to bring farmers and consumers together, with a view to lowering the cost of living. Circulars are to be distributed along rural free delivery routes telling the farmers of the trade opportunity offered by the postal service. These circulars will ask the farmers to record their names and addresses at convenient postoffices and then periodically file statements of the produce they wish to market and the price. The circulars will also contain information as to packing perishable products for shipment. These data will be classified and distributed among consumers in bulletin form. The department of agriculture officials are at work on practical phases of this plan of distribution. The extra $100,000 which the agricultural committee has agreed to give is to be used to teach the farmers how to get and hold city trade. TO END MENTAL TESTS Department Makes It Easier For Students to Enter West Point. Washington. - An order which will make it possible for candidates to enter the United States Military academy at West Point without taking mental examinations was issued at the war department. It provides that a candidate may be exempted from the mental examinations credited by the Military academy if in good standing in any institution accredited by the Military academy, if the entrance requirements for such institution include proficiency in algebra, geometry, English, as outlined by the college examination board, or if he can present a certificate of graduation and proficiency from institutions accepted as standard by the college examination board or if he can present a certificate showing he has passed examinations as prescribed by the college examination board. It is expected that this order will encourage young men to enter West Point and result in decreasing the number of vacancies there. Magistrate Discouraged Profanity of Ill Tempered Driver. Huntington, W. Va.-The finer feelings of horses must not be hurt by blasphemous and profane words, even if the animals do give their drivers great provocation, according to a ruling handed down here by Magistrate Null in the case of A. J. West, who was charged with "cussing" his horse when the animal balked in the middle of the car track. To make his ruling more effective Magistrate Null tacked a fine of $1 and costs on West. West in explaining why he had used the objectionable language declared that his "hoss" was a balker and would try the patience of a Quaker. In further extenuation West said that his horse was used to being "cussed" and didn't understand any other method of persuasion. Magistrate Null, however, was adamant and refused to remit the fine or the costs. He declared that he is going to make a special effort hereafter to locate all men who "cuss" their horses and when he does so he will bring them into court, no matter what their social standing may be. When he gets them into court, the magistrate declares, he will fine them to the limit of the law. SUNDAY SCHOOL MOURNS FIDO Faithful Attendant For Ten Years Gets Flower Decked Coffin. Ashtabula, O.—Fido, the most faithful attendant at St. Peter's Episcopal Sunday school, was buried with honors in the front lawn of his home.

He would enter the church with solemn air, trot down the aisle to the infant class and remain throughout the service without a bark or whine. He carried the coin in his mouth and never missed a session in ten years. Flowers covered his coffin, and children wept for their friend. PAYS HIS FARE WITH AN EGG.

While searching his pockets he heard the hen cackle and, raising the cover, saw a newly laid egg. He explained to the conductor that he had lost his money and asked him to take the egg for the fare.

It will be published in the interest of Negro landowners, tenant farmers and of those who employ Negro labor. There is no other strictly farm newspaper in the world devoted to the interest of Negro farmers. Many of the white farm newspapers enjoy huge circulations and there is no reason why a farm paper in the interest of Negroes should not prove equally successful. In fact, occupying an exclusive field it should enjoy a success far beyond that of the usual farm publication. It is proposed to circulate this paper among the 2,000,000 black farmers of the United States. The paper will be eight pages, of about the size of "The Country Gentleman." DR. BOOKER T.

The Greatest Fraternal Organization in the United States. Richmond, Va., Feb. 14.—The midwinter meeting of the Executive Board of the I. O. St. Luke was held at Richmond, Va., February 6 and 7, in the Home Office Building, 902-4 St. James Street. The R. W. G. secretary-treasurer, Mrs. Maggie L. Walker, reported the order in a most healthy condition. For the six months just passed, the order collected $46,745.91. Two hundred and seven death claims were paid, amounting to $27,128. The assets of the organization, $90,646.90, when the books closed. Every department of the order was reported as being in a healthy, strong condition. 2,148 new members were added to the membership roll—the financial membership being 40,000 men, women and children. The representatives attending the forty-sixth annual convention pledged 10,000 new members for the year, beginning August 1, 1913, ending July 27, 1914. The grand secretary-treasurer is urging the fulfillment of this pledge by the addition of 7,852 new members. In Washington City there are forty-one financial councils with a membership of 1,975. Dr. A. C. Garner is district deputy, and Mrs. Julia H. Hayes associate district deputy; Mrs. Bessie B. Anderson is state deputy, Mrs. Julia M. Layton executive member, and Mary E. Collins organizing deputy. With this working machinery Washington can enter the 500 new members pledged in their rally, which takes place April 3, 1914. The R. W. G. secretary-treasurer, Mrs. Maggie L. Walker, paid the district a flying visit. A general meeting was held on Monday night at the Metropolitan Baptist Church, Dr. Norman, pastor, at which time $990 was paid out in death claims to the district for the month of January, 1914. The following are the claims paid: ation 357 "Join the St. Luke," is the cry of the members for the next six months—a fraternal, beneficial organization, organized for the benefit of all the people. Onward march is the cry. Death of Mr. Rollins. The funeral of Mr. Alexander Rollins of 1452 Que Street Northwest, Washington, D. C., who died at Freedmen's Hospital on Monday, February 2, took place at the Metropolitan Baptist Church, Twelfth and R Streets Northwest, on Thursday, February 5, at 2 p. m. Interment was at Harmony Cemetery. Mr. Rollins was a native of Savannah, Ga., and had lived in New York City and Atlantic City, N. J. Cornerstone Laying. On Monday, February 23, at 2:30 p. m., the cornerstone of Mt. Carmel Baptist Church, at Third and I Streets Northwest, will be laid by the Grand Lodge of F. A. A. M. of the District of Columbia, Prof. N. E. Weatherless, grandmaster, officiating. Rev. W. H. Jernagin, pastor. This handsome church was purchased from the Central Presbyterian congregation. Mrs. LaFollette at National Training School. Last Sunday was a big day on Lincoln Heights. The institution celebrated the birthday anniversary of Abraham Lincoln, and Mrs. Belle C. LaFollette and Dr. Walter H. Brooks were the speakers. Miss Nannie H. Burroughs presided. The immense audience that packed the chapel sat under the spell of Mrs. LaFollette's earnest, eloquent and logical plea for two hours. She paid a high tribute to Lincoln for courage, wisdom and justice and then turned to a frank and free discussion of the "new national issue," segregation and discrimination because of race, color and previous condition of servitude. She declared that the United States Government is taking a step backward by segregating in Civil Service positions, since men and women win on their merit, and hold their positions by faithful and efficient service. She said that the South is forever reminding the North that it must not attempt to Northernize the South, and that the North ought to be just as bold and persistent in seeing that the South does not Southernize, the North. She referred to the fine records of Negroes under Civil Service and declared that the present effort to eliminate and segregate, is too unjust for a Government dedicated to justice, to endorse or encourage. "It will not do a government any good to deprive one-tenth of its population of their rights, nor will it do our country any good to deprive them of education, industrial opportunity and the pursuit of happiness." She was most earnest in her plea to keep up the fight against injustice. Dr. Walter H. Brooks delivered a brief but eloquent address on "The Fruits of Freedom." The jubilee and patriotic music furnished by students found a responsive chord in the hearts of the great audience that cheered them to the echo. The Door of Opportunity Is Closed. Monday evening, February 16, practically marked the close of the Night Schools for the year. Although several classes in three or four buildings will remain open probably as late as March 13, the majority of our thirteen hundred students enrolled in the Night Schools have been deprived of the opportunity—and it is an opportunity which they richly deserve—for further training until the next school year. Not only the teachers, whose interest may be dual, but the hundreds of earnest, worthy students and very often capable students deplore the early closing. They regard it—and rightfully so—as a great misfortune. And the citizens and taxpayers are demanding to know why Washington must be so far behind, her sister cities in providing facilities for those whose training must be secured through the night schools. It is to be earnestly hoped that in the very near future this one very prominent defect in our civic structure will be remedied. Educational experts agree that approximately one hundred hours per month, with modern equipment and the most approved pedagogic methods, are needful for good results from day schools. Some members of Congress seem to think that one hundred hours per school-year, often with insufficient equipment and facilities, is quite adequate for night schools. Congress, therefore, very/generously appropriated for the night schools of Washington, whose boast it is that it is and ought to be the leading city of the United States, enough funds to give the students fifty actual school nights of two hours each; a grand total of one hundred hours! Economy is laudable; parsimony can sometimes be condoned; but it is difficult to take a Christian attitude toward a prolonged and pernicious saving (?) made at the expense of those who, as children, were less fortunate than are our children. Notwithstanding the fact that the school year has been a very profitable and a remarkably successful one. The director of colored night schools, Mr. Arthur C. Newman, cannot be too highly commended. His work has been a distinct success. Not only did he effect and maintain throughout the year a very proficient organization among his teaching corps, but under his supervision the nature and scope of the work to be done by the several classes was well balanced and better graded. Mr. Newman's graciousness and tact toward his assistants and his policy of never trespassing on the jurisprudence of the several principals of buildings are no doubt largely responsible for his success as director. The Bee sincerely hopes that another year will find Congress more liberal toward our Night School so that the efficient services of the director and his assistants will not be impaired by lack of sufficient funds and respectfully suggests that there are some who will do well to regard and refrain from trespassing on the jurisprudence of others. RUMP PARLIAMENT. Dr. Houston Wins a Cash Prize. Washington, D. C., Feb. 16, 1914. To. the Editor. The New York Musical Journal for Saturday, February 7, 1914, at page 281, contains the following statement: "Prize Essays.-The prize of $25 for the best essay submitted in answer CXLI was awarded to Dr. U. L. Houston, of Washington, D. C., whose article appears below: "Prize Question No. CXLI. The Treatment of Frostbite. By Ulysses L. Houston, M. D., Washington, D. C." Now, let's see. Who is this Dr. U. L. Houston, of Washington, D. C. If my memory serves rightly he is the same man whom I referred to a short ago when I paid my respects to the Rump Parliament of the Faculty on the Hill, in connection with the Council of Upper Classmen. Indeed, if I am not greatly mistaken, he is the same man whom the Rump Parliament of the Medical School hounded out of Howard University on the ground that he did not know any medicine, never would know any and never could know any. Yes, this is the same man. He came back—did you ever see such "gall?"—right to the city of Washington, where it was sought to humiliate him, went before the Medical Examining Board, passed the examination, opened an office and has been practicing ever since, winning friends and new patients which ever way he turns. Now, here we find him winning cash prizes for writing essays on medical subjects. Dr. R. V. Pierce had a "Favorite Prescription" as many silly women can bear witness. Dr. R. V. Pierce is dead. I, too, have a Favorite Prescription—its chief constituent is prussic acid. All I want to see now is that the Rump Parliament of the Medical Department of Howard University should take just one dose of my No. 23 and land itself where Dr. R. V. Pierce is, that is to say, in the graveyard. JAMES C. WATERS, JR. 614 Seventeenth St. Northwest. THE MAJESTIC THEATER. "The Old Man's Boy."

President Dudley Making Good. Tuesday evening, February 10, was "Lawyers' Night" at Bethel Literary. W. Justin Carter, Esq., the successful and distinguished attorney of Harrisburg, Pa., was the speaker of the evening. His subject was "The Influence of the Lawyer in the Advancement of Human Liberty." Before a large and appreciative audience Mr. Carter ably and eloquently recounted the achievements of the lawyer in the great cause of human liberty. Reviewing the progress of constitutional government in America, the speaker reminded his hearers that it was the genius and wisdom of the lawyer, more largely, perhaps, than that of any other class of men, that had made this progress possible. He pointed out that if the principles set forth in the Declaration of Independence and reflected in our legal fabric were to become vitalized and to be made to apply to all of our citizens alike, it must, for the most part, be the work of the lawyer, and that in bringing about this result the greater share of the work must be done by the Negro lawyer. Replying to the discussion which followed his address, Mr. Carter stated that fifteen years' practice of the law had confirmed him in the opinion with which he had begun his life's work: that honesty and idulity constitute the best policy, and that character, in the practice of the law, as in other fields of endeavor, is the greatest and most profitable asset. Experience and observation, the speaker declared, had taught him that even the presence of the Negro lawyer at the bar went far toward securing for the Negro a square deal and a larger measure of justice. No one, said he, can so eloquently and ably plead the Negro's cause as can the Negro lawyer, who, like his client, has felt the iron in his soul. The speaker urged upon his people that they give to the Negro lawyer that measure of patronage which would enable him to attain that dignity and influence which command for him and his client the most respectful and impartial hearing. The discussion was opened by Judge R. H. Terrell, who told of the great success that has come to Mr Carter and commended in highest terms the able address he had made. Judge Terrell was followed by Prof. Geo. W. Cook, Lawyer Y. G. Gregory, W. L. Houston, P. R. Lee, I. L. Neill, Dr. Porter and Rev. W. C. Brown. The discussion was brilliant and interesting and served to bring out a large amount of information concerning the success and influence of the Negro lawyer. The Rev. Brown struck a responsive chord when he stated that as a result of the address and the discussion he had come to see the Negro lawyer in a new light and that he had a clearer conception of his duty and that in the future he would exert every influence at his command in having his people give their business to the Negro lawyer. Howard Loses to Hampton. Before a large crowd in the Hampton Gym. the speedy Howard Five met defeat by the close score of 25 to 23 at the hands of Hampton. Earlier in the season Howard defeated Hampton in New York, hence if neither team loses any more intercollegiate games there will be a third game to decide the collegiate championship. Considering the fact that Gilmore, the captain, is the only old member of the famous championship fives in the past years, it is truly remarkable what a well balanced, fast team the Howard boys have. This is the second defeat the Howard boys have met with this season and in each case the first game of the series they were victorious. The crack Loen迪 Club of Pittsburgh defeated them by a narrow margin of a few points on their home floor after suffering a bad defeat on a local floor. It might be interesting to note that two of the members of the Pittsburgh team are white, and three are ex-college men from the larger western universities. Howard. Hampton. Mabery ..... R. F. .....
