IF IT'S NEWS, IT'S IN THE BEE, FOR THE BEE IS A NEWSPAPER. THE BEE WASHINGTON Washington's Best and Leading Negro Newspaper That's THE BEE VOL. XXXIV, NO. 39 WASHINGTON: D.C. SATURDAY, MARCH 14, 1914 By Rev. Walter H. Brooks Over the Body of Alexander S. Howard at Zion Baptist Church Sunday, March 1, 1914. In the presence of many people as Zion Baptist Church could hold Sunday, March 1, and twice as many on the outside of the church, with several benevolent societies in decorated uniforms, the family of the deceased, his beloved brother and the aged mother of the deceased, Rev. Walter H. Brooks, the distinguished and eloquent pastor of the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church, delivered the following sermon: If this were any other man than Alexander S. Howard, the proper person to preach on this occasion would be the pastor of this church; but there sometimes comes in the history of the pastor where he must change seats. He who for years has been the comforter must sit in the seat of sorrow. He who has striven to dry the tears of grief must show his own tears of grief; and that accounts for my standing here today. My sympathies go out for my brother and my sympathies go out for all who are here. If it were possible I would cut these services short out of sympathy for them, because it is a matter of endurance. If you would leave this church at this hour it would be 5 o'clock before they would be back home seated again, but yet we are just beginning a part of the service. I had thought of using the text that has been referred to. "Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord," but as that has been so beautifully alluded to, I will pass it by. The Apostle Paul used these words: "Henceforth there is laid for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love His appearing." REV. WALTER H BROOKS Our brother has gone to get his crown. Had he remained here he could not have received it. Crowns are not distributed here; they lie in the beyond and every one who is laboring for a crown that fadeth not away must take the journey into the land that lies beyond this. A life of this kind suggests a crown. This is a remarkable man. Every resolution that has been read here today has pointed not to a single virtue, but to many virtues; and I have been sitting here saying. This was a model man; this is a model citizen, this a model Christian. You of the fraternity of Odd Fellows have declared that he was a model Odd Fellow and you of this fraternity boasting all that which is ancient, noble and grand-tell us that in all the branches of your order he was a man most excellent, most exemplary, most noble. I thank God for such a life and I feel that I could not do justice to a life of this kind. I feel almost like holding my peace just because I cannot. I thought of an occasion when once in the Far West. I stood upon an eminence, gazing into the distance—mountains everywhere—and down, far down, a stream of water running seaward; and grandeur and beauty and sublimity everywhere; and I said to myself, I could not describe that. Here is a life that brings that back to mind. There's some things you can't describe; some things, too noble, some things too grand. You must see the thing for yourselves to comprehend it. The man who saw Alexander Howard; the men and women and children who came in contact with him know of his work; not because of what is said here. His life has spoken. A man said to me, "For fifteen years this man was my foreman. I never knew a better man in all the world." Those words dropped from the lips of Mr. Bailey—and everybody says the same thing. In church, in every walk of life everybody rises up and praises him because of his life, because of his deeds and his spirit. As I thought of all of these I asked, What's the secret of it all? There are some things which enter into life that make life noble and I think the thing that made this life The Great Preacher and Expounder of the Gospel Declares That He Is the Friend of the Blacks—Always Has Been—Tells Why He Sent the Blacks in New York to the Gallery—There are Foolish Colored White People, Says this Great Preacher. Mr. Editor: An item in your issue of February 21st, criticising me and giving the inference that I am an opponent of the black race is before me. I think it very unjust and request that you place your readers this, my reply. So far from being an enemy of the blacks. I am their friend and have always thought of their welfare. This does not mean that I have consecrated my life to fight their battles. It does not even mean that I think that a black man on the whole the average of the white. It does mean, however, that I recognize the blacks as fellow-men, members of the same race, created by the same God and answerable to the same general provisions of divine grace. As many of your readers are aware, I was probably the only white man to take up the cause of the blacks when some years ago a pamphlet was widely circulated entitled, The Negro Beast. How about the color line in the New York Temple I reply that for some time we have been presenting to the public of New York at the Temple the Photo-drama of Creation, very beautiful and instructive—seats free; no collection, the usual custom of the I. B. S. A. The Negro population of New York is about five per cent of the whole, and so long as that proportion was maintained at the Temple all went well, but when shortly the proportion jumped to 25 per cent, we perceived that we would either be serving a wholly colored congregation, or else must make some separation. The Drama is not special for the colored people more than for the whites, nor is my life consecrated to their service but to the Lord's service. Pursuing the only rational method of dealing with the situation, we have lately been showing the blacks and the colored to the gallery, which is just as good a view as any part of the house and where the lecture can just as well be heard. Noting the interest of the colored people in the Drama, we have been endeavoring to hire a hall specially for them in their own district—wishing them to have all the advantages that we would accord to the whites in respect to a knowledge of the Bible's teachings—also seats free and no collection, if we obtain it. Should whites come in there, we would show them to the gallery, because the meeting would be specially for the colored people and the whites would probably be in the minority. There are foolish colored people, as well as foolish white people, who talk and write what they do not believe, and this foolish talking tends to turn from the colored people the sympathy of fair-minded whites like myself. A, gentleman or a lady, whether white or colored, would not wish to intrude where he or her company was not desired. To do so would be to indicate that they were not gentlemen or ladies. The colored people should be quite content if noble was not alone the fact that he was well trained from infancy, but that he had Christ in his soul. It doesn't make any difference what a man's calling or occupation may be, it doesn't make any difference where a man's lot may be cast, if Christ is in him a living reality men will see it. Here was a man who was the embodiment of politeness. Here was a man whose soul showed sympathy. Here was a man who was generous to his friends and courteous to everybody. Here was a man who was considerate of the poor. Here was a quiet, unostentatious man. Here was a gentleman of the finest quality; and back of all of it was Christ—Christ, a living reality, Christ manifesting Himself in him. And so he has stood for all these years and now we weep for him as a devoted son who has fallen asleep. We mourn him as a brother. We mourn him as a valued Christian gone. We have the nieces, the nephew, all the kindred rise up today and with tearful eyes call him blessed. But is everything a loss? Oh, if to die were all; if to come to the grave were all, then it would he sad to die. But, my friends, this man is not dead. He has gone to get his crown. He lives as I live here. Life absent from the body but present with the Lord. Gone to receive a crown! There's a crown laid up for the faithful. There's a crown for those in Christ Jesus. There's a crown laid up for those who serve the Master on this earth. "Be ever faithful unto death and I will give thee a crown of life." Here is a faithful man; faithful in all the walks of life, faithful as a son, faithful as an uncle, faithful as a brother, faithful as a husband, faithful as a church member, faithful as a citizen, faithful as a Mason, faithful as an Odd Fellow—faithful everywhere and in all things; in all the business concerns of life, faithful. Now some people may think when it is said, "Be ever faithful unto death * * *" that we are simply holding on to some doctrine or holding on as a charge in the church. You may hold on and go up and die inside of the church, but that isn't being faithful. What God means-is that you shall carry the spirit of Christ with you everywhere. All through this life let Christ reign and rule, to the glory of Him who tasted death for you. This man has gone, to get the crown. Gone to receive the crown which the righteous judge lays on the brow of His own. Why, my dear friends, sometimes man's in one country and there's a kingdom over yonder waiting for him. When McKinley died, where was Roosevelt? They didn't know where to find him just at the time. They had to hunt for him. Why, there was a crown waiting for him, a seat waiting for him in the White House and he was wanted to come and get the seat. Brothers and sisters, there's a crown up yonder for all of the faithful in Christ Jesus, and it may be that God was seeking for some one in the hospital and seeking here and there; and Death is the messenger who says, "Come higher; there's a crown yonder laid up from all eternity." The brother has gone to get his crown. What you call death is simply shaking off things temporal and perishable that we may take on the things spiritual and imperishable and wear the crown that fadeth not away. But why should I stand here and talk. Bro. Howard? This dear brother has outdo you and if you can do so, just think of all the kind, tender, loving things you have said to others. I don't know whether you can do that. I have heard of two preachers who made this bargain: If death should come in my family I want you to do the preaching. The other said: If death should come into my family I want you to do the preaching. Death came into the family of A, and B preached most lovingly and tenderly. After a while death came to B and took away the only child. A did the preaching, but B would not be consolved; and thenA said to, B: "Why, you know how you consolled me." But ~Brother B said: "Ah, Brother A, that was your child. This is mine." I'll tell you, Brother. Howard has been comforting, but it's his time now. Here is a mother well up in years, bearing bravely her sorrow. God comfort them. These nieces and nephew and this wife of only a few months the Lord comfort and bless you. We shall all understand bye and bye when we stand before the great White Throne to hear these words. All the blessed of my Father inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. Men who boast the three links, remember this model man; and this ancient Order that sit about this lifeless form, so live this Christian life that when you enter the courts of the Great Beyond you will be welcome there and blessed through all the ages of eternity. God forbid that I should multiply words. The Lord bless you and comfort you and keep you to the end. Stock Company. The Majestic Stock Company is composed of high-class artists.

The Great Preacher and Expounder of the Gospel Declares That He Is the Friend of the Blacks—Always Has Been—Tells Why He Sent the Blacks in New York to the Gallery—There are Foolish Colored White People, Says this Great Preacher. San Francisco, Cal. March 2, 1914. to the Editor of The Bee, Washington, D. C. Mr. Editor: An item in your issue of February 1st, criticising me and giving the inference that I am an opponent of the lack race is before me. I think it very unjust and request that you face before your readers this, my apply. granted full justice before the courts of the law and proper respectful treatment. It is all foolishness which no sensible person believes, that any black man is the equal of any white man. If the Bee can help its readers to get properly balanced on this subject, it will do an inestimable amount of good. There are black men who are superior to some white men and white men who are superior to some Negroes, but on the whole every black man knows that he would like to be a white man and knows, too, that some of the most brilliant of his own race have white blood in their veins. Is anything to be gained by misrepresentation on this point, either fooling ourselves or trying to fool other people? Surely not! Foolish talking on the part of some colored people is intensifying the "color line." The true Gospel Message which I am seeking to preach to whites and blacks, the reds and browns and yellows, is that so far as the Divine call to joint-heirship with Christ in His Kingdom is concerned, there is no difference. All of Adam's race of every color are similarly all needing the Savior and all who accept of Him have an equal opportunity of making their calling and election sure to glory, honor and immortality by a share in the First Resurrection. Who has made us to differ? Shall we find fault with the Divine arrangement which has divided our race into different colors and different languages? To do so would be foolish. We cannot fight against God, Let us thank Him for the blessings, liberties and privileges which we are enjoying! Let us be content! Let us put away foolish boasting and humbly acknowledge that we are nothing except as God's grace shall make something of us in the present life and in the future life. Let us remind your readers that the Apostle specially points out that humility will be an essential trait for all those who become members of the church in glory. From this standpoint of assistance to humility, the black brother may really have an advantage over his white brother—it may be easier for him to be humble. Or we may cultivate a foolish spirit and of being as good and great as anybody, but in so doing, is he not hindering his spiritual chances instead of advancing them. And is he not hindering his earthly status with the whites by such foolish boastings? Let us think soberly and sanely and enjoy the blessings that are ours with gratitude to the Giver of all good. Let us have patience until the Divine Plan shall have ripened, assured by the Scriptures that in the future life restitution to human perfection will bring all mankind back again to the highest type and standard of humanity. "Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God that He may exalt you in due time." THE N. A. A. C. P. The President of the Local Branch of the N. A. A. C. P. Opposes the Aswell and Edwards Bills. There was a hearing last Friday, the 6th, before the Committee of the House on Reform in the Civil Service on the bills of Aswell, of Louisville, and Edwards, of Georgia, which provide for the segregation of colored employees in the government service. Edwards, of Georgia, appeared before the committee to advocate the passage of the measure offered by him and said that, in his opinion, colored people ought not to be appointed to any branch of the government, and if he had his way he would prevent such appointments by law. When Edwards had concluded, the chairman of the committee, Mr. Godwin, of North Carolina, asked if others desired to be heard. At this point Mr. Archibald H. Grimke, one of the vice-presidents of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and president of the District of Columbia Branch of that organization, arose and said that he desired to be heard as representing the Association. Mr. Grimke began by referring to the concluding remarks of Edwards. Grimke began by referring to the concluding remarks of Edwards. "Now, gentlemen," said Mr. Grimke, "you have heard what has just been said. Look at the spirit which is at the bottom of this proposition. You have heard from the lips of an avowed segregationist that it is not separation he is aiming at, but absolute elimination. Think of a proposition like that in America, in a republic! I do not propose to argue the legality or constitutionality of these measures. Look at their spirit. Look at the motive which those who put them forward, confess to! Do you gentlemen approve that? Is that justice, or fair play, or democracy? Will you gentlemen say that it is? Is that the spirit which citizens of a republic should cherish toward one another? Is America, is a republic prepared to say to the world, "On the sole ground of race and color we propose to deny millions of human beings justice and equal opportunity? We propose to use the powers of government to keep them permanently in subordination and subjection? Are you, gentlemen, prepared to say that?" At this point Mr. Godwin, the chairman, interrupted to say that the Southern people were friendly to the Negro. "Friendly," Mr. Chairman?" responded Mr. Grimke. "What do you mean by friendly?" "Why, I pay taxes to educate the Negro," said Mr. Godwin. "Mr. Chairman, I don't like to hear you say that," responded Mr. Grimke. "Why?" asked Mr. Godwin. "Because, Mr. Chairman," responded Mr. Grimke, "it isn't true. You don't pay the Negroes' public school bill. Your assertion is contrary to every accepted principle of political economy. Here you are trying to collect by means of your income tax twelve millions of dollars from John D. Rockefeller. If you collect those twelve millions, will Mr. Rockefeller have paid that amount? You know that he will not have done anything of the kind. You know that the people who consume Mr. Rockefeller's oil will pay that tax. You know that every tax falls, in the last analysis, on the consumer, the laboring man, the poor man. The Negro is the consumer, the laborer, the poor man, and he pays the tax. The Negro pays for his own education in the South. "Now, these colored people in the government service, how did they get into their present positions? By open, fair competition. How do they maintain themselves there? By faithful and official discharge of the duties assigned to them. It is employees of this character that these bills propose to insult, to humiliate, to degrade and to reduce to a new slavery. Don't you gentlemen suppose that we have the same feelings that you have? That what insults you would insult us; that what humiliates you would humiliate us; that what would degrade you would degrade us? Aren't we all human beings? Why, I know personally of a faithful colored employee, of twenty-five years service, who has been segregated under this policy which has been begun under Wilson's administration, and when he was taken out of the room which he had occupied for years, and placed in the ghetto apartment, he wept like a child. Why? Because he had been wounded to the quick. His segregation outraged the feelings of white women with whom he had worked for years, and they protested against it. Are you, gentlemen, in favor of that?" A member of the committee said: "Well, only one class can govern in this country." "Is that so?" asked Mr. Grimke. "What class? The capitalist class? I am a man past 60, and I can remember when men said that only rich men, men of wealth, capitalists, should constitute the ruling class. In fifty years all of that has been abandoned. Does anybody today say that only rich men should vote and hold office and constitute the ruling class? Who rules this country: the capitalist or the laborer? Will the gentlemen say that the capitalist alone should constitute the governing class, and that the laborer should be denied admission-thereto? He knows he will say no such thing. He wouldn't dare say such a thing. Gentlemen, I predict that fifty years hence, the Negro will be a part of the governing class of this country, and that no man will attack his status. You say the Negro is inferior, that God made him so. If you believe that, what are you disturbed about? Why all this concern and anxiety? If the Negro is naturally and inherently inferior, you needn't be troubled about his future; for if your hypothesis is correct, the Negro will always be beneath you. AWORTHY ELEVATION AWORTHY ELEVATION RALPH LANGSTON Elevated—A Worthy Young Colored Man Recognized on Account of Merit. New York City, March 10. On Monday, March 9, Ralph E. Langston, who has been serving as a special investigator in the U. S. Revenue Agents Department of New York City, was appointed an Income Tax Deputy Collector in the Second District of New York. His commission, which was signed by Commissioner W. H. Osborn and approved by Secretary McVoo, assigns him to the income tax department of the Greatest income tax district in the M. country. There are thirty employees in this particular department and Mr. Langston will receive the highest salary paid to any one of them. Hisprombition is due to his splendid record as special investigator in the Revenue Agents Department. Commissioner Osborn knows no man by the color of his skin. It imerit with him. Bethel Literary and Hostorical Association Ex-Congressman George H. White, who will discuss "The Survival of the Fittest" at Metropolitan A. M. E. Church Tuesday evening, March 17, has won marked success in several walks of life—as lawyer, teacher, business man and legislator. It will be remembered that he was elected to the North Carolina House of Representatives in 1880, and to the State Senate in 1884; was elected solicitor and prosecuting attorney for the second judicial district of North Carolina for four years in 1886, and for a like term in 1890. He was elected to Congress by a majority of 4,000 in 1896, and was re-elected in 1898. At the close of his second term, he delivered a valedictory to the country, which was universally praised as the best, truest and most timely expression of the Negro's plea for equality of citizenship that ever rang through the halls of Congress. He is a positive race man, and The Bee urges all who possibly can to attend the meeting and hear him. Dr. Richardson's Defense Indorsed By a Sound Thinker. March 9, 1914. To the Editor of The Bee: I want to thank you for the opportunity of possessing what I consider to be one of the best race pamphlets I have ever read, namely, that written by Dr. G. H. Richardson, and published under the auspices of The Bee. The article is a straightforward, shoulder-hitting exposition of the "snake in the grass" methods of certain quasi-scientific Negro traducers, and a manly and well-sustained defense of the civil and political rights of the colored people. I read the article over and over, and, assured that I had become saturated with the sentiments therein contained, passed it along. I verily believe that much good would be accomplished if a fund could be raised with which to purchase hundreds of thousands of copies of the article to be distributed broadcast among the whites, both friends and foes. Were I able I would buy no fewer than a hundred copies for propaganda service among the heathen. But, gentlemen, I have a suspicion that you don't believe in the inferiority of the Negro. I have a suspicion that you are moved with fear; that you are afraid that unless you legislate into existence conditions to keep the Negro down, he will rise to your civil, political, industrial and moral level." At the conclusion of the hearing, members of the committee greeted Mr. Grimke and told him he had made an able showing. Mr. Madden, of Illinois, showed great interest and sympathy by asking opportune questions designed to bring the salient objections to such legislation. MESSIAH TO A FOR THE HEATHEN The Rodeemer Has Not Yet Asked For His Inheritance. ACCORDING TO DIVINE PLAN.

The text was: "Ask of Me, and I will give Thee the heathen for Thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of March 8.—Pastor Russell's discourse today related to that feature of his free Photo-Drama of Creation which refers to the answer to Jesus' prayer. The text was: "Ask of Me, and I will give Thee the heathen for Thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for 'Thy possession.'" (Psalm 2:3.) He said. Our text is from one of the Messianic Psalms. It represents our Lord as making known to His people the Heavenly Father's decree rewarding Him for His faithfulness as our Redeemer, assuring Him of His exaltation to the Kingdom, and declaring that with this will come the inheritance of all the earth, with power to subject all things to the Father's will. He was to have it for the mere request—"Ask of Me." As a matter of fact, this world-wide dominion has not yet come to Messiah; the heathen are not yet His inheritance; the uttermost parts of the earth are not yet His possession. Indeed, as the Prophet declares, "Darkness covers the earth, and gross darkness the heathen." When we remember our Redeemer's love for the race, the love which led Him to lay down His life to seek and to recover that which was lost, we are at first inclined to amazement that He has not yet asked the Father for His life. athen. We is permitted d the reign r more than le suffered. t He might rplexity in answered Sadducees, the Scripti l." As we Scriptures appreciate how the power of God will be exercised in bringing the heathen under the domination of the Redeemer, the eyes of our understanding open, and we are enabled to rejoice accordingly. Why Di He Not Ask? Our Lord did not ask for His great power to reign at an earlier date because He knew the Father's Plan, and was well contented with the Divine times and seasons. He had no, wish for a change in this. He did not ask to receive the heathen for an inheritance at the beginning of the Gospel Age, but has been content to wait, and to place that request in its due time, in harmony with another feature of the Divine Program which must first be fulfilled. That other feature is the selection of the Church, the Bride of Christ, the members of His Body. It pleased the Father to make our Lord not only the world's Redeemer and King, but also the High Priest of an under-priesthood, the Bridegroom of the Church, His Bride, the Elder Brother of these saints of glory whom the Father is pleased to develop during this Gospel Age as New Creatures in Christ Jesus, to be sharers of His self-fertings and of His glory to follow. Mustine the heathen have been suffering no injustice. Born in sin, shaken in infidelity, condemned to death, they have been having experiences with sin and death, and going down into the great prison-house for periods of unconsciousness - until the Redeemer, at His Second Advent 'shall call them and all mankind from this great prison-house, the tomb. This He foretold, saying, "All that are in the graves shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and shall come forth." —John 5:28, 29 R. V Fair, Trial Is Promised All. Not only will this include the Church of the First-born, who have been ap proved of God, and who, passing trial now, will come forth unto life eternal, but it will include also the remainder of mankind, those who have not had God's approval, all of whom, because redeemed, shall come forth unto judgment-trial. A fair trial will be theirs to determine their worthiness or unworthiness of life everlasting by the manner in which they shall receive, or by their rejection of. The Christ of God when, during the Millennium, He shall be made fully known to them. It was also part of the Divine pur pose that the whole earth should be filled with people; and hence the bringing forth of a progeny is a part of the Divine will for mankind. The few short years of the present life, with an experience of sin and death conditions, will in due time be supplemented by the glorious period of the Mil- grand opportunities iteousness and its re- ence. Its corrective purchases, will be to the intent that so many as possible may ultimately be entirely recovered from death conditions and brought into full accord with God in Christ. But those who demonstrate their unwillingness to come into heart sympa- thy with righteousness will be utterly destroyed from amongst the people. -Acts 3:23; 2 Peter 2:12. The More Excellent Way. The More Excellent Way. So, then, our Lord's reason for not asking sooner for the heathen as His inheritance and the remotest parts of the earth as His possession, was that He knew the Father's Plan to be a different one, the more excellent way; and He delighted to do the Father's will. And so with all the followers of Christ. As soon as they ascertain the Father's glorious Plan of Salvation, they find it to be soul-satisfying, and greatly prefer it to any plan of their own. Undeveloped Christians, whom the Apostle designates "babes" in Christ, are the ones who are continually praying to the Heavenly Father for a change of the Divine Program, imagining that their wisdom and their love in respect to the heathen are superior to those of the Infinite Creator. Nearly all Christian people have had their experience with such ignorance, and we are glad to suppose that the Heavenly Father had not the sin of such presumption to our charge, but rather sympathetically appreciated our interest in the heathen, although He must have deprecated our lack of reverence our headiness, our high-minded assumption of more than infinite wisdom! We are not saying a word against missions—home or foreign. Quite to the contrary, we believe that every Christian should labor with heart and hand to do all in his power to glorify the Father and the Redeemer, and to enlighten his fellow-men respecting the Cross of Christ, and the blessings which it secures. But while willingly, gladly serving the Divine Cause, "instant in season and out of season," we should "learn to labor and to wait." We should learn that the laboring under present conditions is arranged chiefly for our benefit—for the development in the minds of the Royal Priesthood of the sacrificing qualities and the graces of the Holy Spirit—meekness, gentleness, patience, faith, long-suffering, brotherly kindness, love. "Workers Together With God." "Workers Together With God." Let us be sure, dear friends, that any theory of ours respecting the heathen, or any other feature of the Divine Program, which in any degree implies superior wisdom, superior energy or superior love on our part, is compared with that of our Heavenly Father and our Redeemer, must be wrong. The sooner we learn to pray from the heart, "Thy will be done," the better it will be for us, the more shall we be able to get into harmony with our Lord, and the more shall we be used as His ambassadors and representatives. The wisdom of man is foolishness with God, and the Wisdom of God is foolishness with man. Hence we must not take the human standpoint in investigating or reasoning upon the Divine purposes and Program. Rather, we must go direct to the Word of God, that we may be taught of God, that we may discern the beauty, the harmony, of His plans. 1 Corinthians 3:19. It is written that "obedience is better than sacrifice"; and this being recognized, how careful it should make us to inquire what the will of the Lord is; to search the Scriptures, that we may there ascertain the Divine Program, and be found in harmony therewith. There we find that the Lord's present work is the completing of the Royal Priesthood, the Royal Judge, the Royal Prophet, the Royal Mediator, the Great Kling, for the world of mankind—for the world's deliverance from the bondage of Sin and Death, and their assistance back to harmony with God. Thus seeing, we shall have patience in respect to the heathen, and strive now to make our own calling and election sure and to lay down our lives for the brethren, in assisting to build them up in the most holy faith, "until we all come to the measure of the stature of a Man in Christ"—the great Mediator of the New Covenant, of whom Jesus is the Head—the Church His Body. Converting the World. Converting the World. When will the world be converted? When will Christ ask for the heathen? When will the Father give them to Him? How long, O Lord? The Scriptural answer, dear friends, is that it has pleased the Father to select the "Jewel" class during this Gospel Age by means which the world would think foolish—by means of the preaching of the Good Tidings. But His Program for the future Age is different. There are millions who have no ear to hear the preaching of the Cross of Christ. (1 Corinthians 1:1S.) There are millions who have no eye of faith to see the glorious things of God. In fact according to the Scriptures, only a Little Flock, comparatively, can be brought into accord with the Lord under the conditions of the present time, because sin abounds, because Death reigns, because Satan, the Printe of this world, now works antagonistically in the hearts of the children of disobedience. Hence it has pleased God to have a different method of dealing with the world of mankind in general from that which He has adopted in dealing with the Church in this Age. In the next Age, force will be used, and not merely moral sanction. Force will be employed in putting down the reign of evil. Satan will not merely be requested to desist from deceiving the world, but will be bound for a thousand years, and be unable to deceive the nations. Likewise, mankind will no longer be invited to accept Christ, and to give their hearts in obedience to Him, but on the contrary, they will be compelled to be obedient. As it is written, "Uto Him every knee shall bow and every tongue confess, to the glory of God." Offers of grace will no longer be held out, with reward for faith attached; instead, knowledge shall fill the whole earth, as the waters cover the great deep. (Philippians 2:10, 11; Isaiah 11:9). As a result, no one shall then say to his neighbor or to his brother. Know thou the Lord! for they shall all know Him, from the least unto the greatest of them. Jeremiah 31:34. Heathen Fall Under Him. Heathen Fall Under Him. Another Psalm describes Meilah's triumph in the Millennial Age, saying, "Gird Thy sword upon Thy thigh, O Most Mighty, with Thy glory and Thy majesty. And in Thy majesty ride prosperously in the cause of Truth and Meekness and Righteousness; and Thy right hand shall teach Thee terrible things. Thine arrows are sharp in the heart of the King's enemies; whereby the people fall under Thee." (Psalm 45:3.5.1) Instead of people here, read heathen, as in the original, and we have a picture of the conversion of the heathen as it will shortly be accomplished. We are not to suppose the Lord will ride upon a horse, or that literal arrows will literally pierce the hearts of His enemies. We are to understand this picture to signify our Lord's triumphal conquering of the world; and that the arrows of Truth, which will go forth unto the whole world, will reach the hearts of men and smite them down. Even so we read that when St. Peter preached at Pentecost that the Jews had taken and crucified the Son of God, the hearers were "ent to the heart"—with the lance of Truth. Thank God for such arrows from the quiver of Divine Wisdom, Justice, Love! We rejoice that the heathen will thus be conquered for the Lord, and thus eventually every knee bow and every tongue confess. The work of dealing with the heathen, with the world-with all except the Church-will begin with the generation living at the time of the establishment of the Lord's Kingdom. In due time it will proceed and will ultimately include all that are in their graves in the reverse order from that in which they entered. And the last shall be the first to come forth-"every man in his own order," or class. Deep Humiliation Is Yet Promised the World Too frequently do Bible students neglect to see whether or not their interpretations are in harmony with the context of the passages under discussion. Let us not make this mistake. Turning to the second Psalm, we find that following our text is the declaration, "Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; Thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel." (Verse 9.) The application of this evidently is to the time of our Lord's Second Advent, when the selection of the Church shall have been completed and she shall have entered into His glory as the Bride, the Lamb's Wife, symbolically pictured as the New Jerusalem, coming down from God out of Heaven From that New Jerusalem, we are told, the River of the Water of Life shall flow freely, and whosoever will may freely purtake of it. On either bank will grow the 'Trees of Life, whose leaves are for the healing of the nations. And the Spirit and the Bride will say, Come; and whosoever will may come, and take of the Water of Life. But in the meantime, before the nations, the world, will be ready for that blessing from the New Jerusalem, they must needs pass through a period of very deep humiliation—"A Time of Trouble such as never was since there was a nation."—Matthew 24:21 As for the nations of that time, the extent to which they will suffer destruction will depend largely upon their own attitude, as is intimated by the verses following our text. Those of the nations who freely and heartily accept of Messiah's rule will be correspondingly saved from the breaking process. Hence it is urged, "Be wise. O ye kings of the earth! Kiss the Son lest He be angry, and ye perish from the way, when His wrath is kindled but a little." But while this seems to offer leniency, mercy; these favors are conditional on the manner in which the Messianic Kingdom shall be received. Other Scriptures intimate that all the nations, not only heathen but civilized, will be found in violent opposition to the Heavenly Kingdom, and hence that all together they will be crushed as the vessels of a potter The Glorious Outcome. The Lord tells us that as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are His ways higher than man's ways, and His plans higher than man's plans. And this we find true as we come to better understand the Scriptures. Who ever dreamed of such lengths and breadths and heights and depths of "Love Divine, all love excelling," as are implied and included in God's great Plan of selecting first The Christ—Jesus the Head, and the Church. His Body—and then through these blessing all the families of the earth with a knowledge of Himself and the glowous opportunities for life eternal. We make no claims of universal salvation; for the Scriptures distinctly speak of some who will die the Second Death, having proved themselves not sufficiently in harm with righteousness to be worthy of eternal life—even after being brought to a knowledge of the Truth. But the Scriptures show us that when all the unwilling and obedient shall have been cut off in the Second Death, the whole earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of God. CUSTER SURVIVOR LOSES HIS PLACE Daniel A. Kanipe Was Bearer of Famous Message. FORMERLY REVENUE RAIDER Change of Administration Has Deprived Him of His Position—Tella In a Most Interesting Manner of His Ride to Captain McDougal—Was Feared by Carolina Moonshiners. Asheville, N. C.—Changes in the internal revenue service made by the Wilson administration have, retired from Uncle Sam's payroll one of the most picturesque figures in North Carolina, Daniel A. Kanlpe, a former revenue roider, who is said to be the only American survivor of the ill-fated force under the immediate command of General George A. Custer. Mr. Kanlpe has the distinction of having carried the last order issued by Custer just previous to the massacre on the Little Big Horn river in Montana in 1870. Mr. Kanipe has retired to his home at Marlon, near Asheville, since the change of administration has deprived him of his place as a revenue raider, but his name is still a word to conjure with in the districts where corn liquor is made without paying tax to the United States government. As a raider Mr. Kanipe was probably the most feared man in the Asheville district, one of the largest in the United States, and the same courage that sent him sequestly on a mission through a country infested with hostile Indians has caused him to venture into dark corners of the mountains in search of illicit distillers. Kanlipe was born at Marion and was raised on a farm, but ran away from home at the age of nineteen to enlist in the army, walking across country to Lincolnton, where he enlisted In Company C, Seventh regiment, United States cavalry. The company was commanded at the time by Captain V. K. Hart. Before long the young man was promoted to a sergeantcy and attached as a scout to the command of General George A. Custer in the campaign against the Sloux Indians under Chiefs Sitting Bull and Rain In the Face. He was with Custer on the morning of June 25, 1876, at the Little Big Horn, when the Indians were beginning to close in around the little band of American soldiers. "I had the fastest horse in the service," Sergeant Kanipe says, "and he could single foot faster than most cavalry horses could run. Captain (tater Major) Thomas H. McDougal, in command of Troop B, was about five miles away in charge of the pack train carrying our spare ammunition and rations. "General Custer ordered me to find Captain McDougal and tell him to bring up the pack train with all speed, as he (General Custer) believed that a great battle was about to be fought. With this last order of General Custer's I slipped away from camp on my horse, Yankee Mike, and after sneaking past a number of Indians and outrunning a bunch that discovered me and gave chase. I made my way to Captain McDougal's camp and delivered the order." "We started at once to the relief of General Custer, but by that time he was surrounded by Indians, and it required two days of hard fighting to make our way across that five miles of territory. While I was gone and while we were fighting our way back to Custer's position Sitting Bull and Rain In the Face, with their 4,000 Sloux devils, surrounded his force and after a hard fight butchered them. "When our relief force reached the spot where the heroic Custer had made his last stand we found the bodies of my former comrades lying in twisted heaps, just as they had fallen under the blows of the Indians. Some of them had mercifully been shot, but many more were lying with crushed and shapeless bodies and heads battered in by the war clubs of the Indians "I had seen service before that, and I saw service afterward in the camp patrol against the Cheyennes in Nebraska, but I never saw a battle in which I thought the Indians were repaid for the massacre of General Custer and his heroic troopers. "Two other men escaped from the massacre. I think, a Crow Indian scout named Curley, who I have since learned is living in St Louis and whose Indian costume probably helped him to slip away while the battle was raging, and an Italian trumpeter named Martine, who I have heard has been seen in Buffalo. How he managed to gs care I have never been able to learn." Mr Kanine after leaving the army secured a position as deputy internal revenue collector. His most cherished possessions are the old faded blue uniform which he wore on that memorable ride for Custer and the saber and pistol he carried as a member of the Seventh cavalry.

SEEK SLAYER IN AN EYE Photograph of Retina Expected to Show His Image. Aurora, Ill.—Yielding to persons who have faith in the old superstition, the authorities here have photographed the eye of Theresa Hollander. State Attorney Tyer admitted this, saying that it was the belief of many that the retina of a murdered person retained the image of the murderer. Miss Hollander was beaten to death in a cemetery here a week ago. The picture was taken after a suggestion of an oculist, who asserted with emphasis that the retina of the slain girl's eye would show the last object before her conscious vision. The photograph was made the day after the murder as the body was being cared for at a local undertaker's. The authorities rather feared they would be ridiculed for this effort, but were anxious to leave nothing undone to get evidence, so went through the performance, holding every actor in the scene to the most profound secrecy. TANGOED IN HIS FREEZER. Butcher, Locked In, Also Tried Jigs His Yells Furnishing the Music. Mount Pleasant, Pa.-Locked in his own meat freezer for three hours, William Melago, a butcher, declares that he owes his life to the tango, which he danced continuously to keep from freezing. When Melago stepped into his freezer he forgot to turn off the check on the automatic lock. The door clicked into place, and he was a prisoner. His cries and poundings failed to attract attention, and, realizing that he would freeze to death unless he indulged in some exercise, Melago, who can dance, began to double shuffle to the accompaniment of his yells for help. It grew colder, and he varied his exercise by an Irish fig. But this was fatiguing, and he slowed into the tango, paying special attention to the dip. According to his story, he kept on the move for nearly three hours, when his wife finally heard the noise and released him. HENS HUNGRY AND NOT ON A STRIKE Birds and Squirrels Had Been Siealing Their Food. HENS HUNGRY AND NOT ON A STRIKE Birds and Squirrels Had Been Siealing Their Food. Canterbury, Conn.—Conrad A. Gehrke is speaking to his blooded hens again after three weeks of strained relations. Mr. Gehrke decided to spend a part of the winter at his country place, bought the hens and after the first heavy fall of snow came to the conclusion that they recognized him as a novice and were simply cheating him out of good food. He gave them three times as much feed as he had read that they deserved and yet he found them every day apparently wild with hunger, trying to eat the wire of their coop. He quit treating them as companions and served their food each day with a great show of violence. Then the whole matter was explained. He went out to the coop early in the morning and found that the hens had company. In the yard were a dozen squirrels and a half hundred birds, including quail, bluejays and smaller birds. These hungry callers were eating ravenously of everything that remained, while the fresh egg producers of the farm stood back sullenly and without any show of enthusiasm regarded the callers. The birds and squirrels retreated when Mr. Gehrke came toward the coop, but returned the moment he turned his back. He threw a great mass of feed out for the hens and almost apologized to them for his late conduct toward them. When the snow came in this section ring neck pheasants, ruffled grouse and even crows have taken up positions near hen yards in the hope of getting enough food to sustain them. At one place a flock of quail numbering more than fifty has taken to feeding in a pigpen, where the service is not of the best, but food in plenty is to be found: BULLDOG A LIFE SAVER.

FEDERAL LAW TO CURB DRUG HABIT EXONERATESTHEPHYSICIANS Clergyman Declares Cocaine Can Be Bought as Easily as Ice Cream and Asserts That All States Should Have Uniform Laws—Tells of Effect of Drug on Victims. New York. "There is only one way to put an end to the cocaine trade in the United States, and that is to pass a comprehensive federal law which will regulate the sale not only of the harmful and obnoxious cocaine, but all drugs and narcotics that have vitiating qualities," said the Rev. James B. Curry of St. James' Roman Catholic church when asked for his views on the war on habit forming drugs. Father Curry became interested in the fight on cocaine nine years ago, and he has been fighting it ever since. He is familiar with every phase of the matter. "It is a matter that the federal government must deal with sooner or later," he said. "The widespread use of drugs, which is ruining the lives of thousands of men and women in this country and, most important of all, lives of thousands of boys and girls, makes it incumbent on the officials in Washington to take cognizance of this serious matter." The time for procrastination is past, and we must get quick action. "No individual state can successfully combat the evil. For instance, if New York state passes a drastic law regulating the sale of drugs it will be a simple matter for unscrupulous sellers of the drug to obtain their supply in New Jersey or another state. "On some sides I have heard physicians of this city criticized for offering prescriptions which enable the bearers to obtain supplies of cocaine. Reputable physicians are striving to lessen this evil to the best of their ability. "I do think the wholesale drug houses are responsible for the spread of this evil. As an example of how easy it is to obtain cocaine and other harmful drugs from wholesale houses, an acquaintance of mine recently informed me that he could get as much of the drug as he wanted without an order from a physician or anybody else. I was so surprised that I requested him to make the effort. "He made out a list and mailed it to a drug house and asked for prices. Included in the list was cocaine. In a few days he received the list with the prices filled in, and checking off some of the drugs, including cocaine, he remailed the list. No long after that the goods were delivered, and the cocaine was in the order. It was as easy as buying ice cream. "It was in 1905 that I first took up the cudgels against the sellers of cocaine. I noticed sailors drifting over from the Rowery and patronizing a certain druggist. Before entering the store these men seemed to be downhearted and dependent, but coming out their manner had undergone a change. They appeared to be animated and gleeful, cut up papers and seemed pleased with everything in general. "I saw one of them sniff cocaine one day. I succeeded in obtaining some of the drug and sent it to the board of health for analysis. It was found to be 99.50 per cent cocaine. Subsequent by the druggist was forced to close up "Laws that exist are not comprehensive enough. Some new drug spikes up from time to time, and the present laws do not affect its sale. I propose that a law be passed that will cover not only the drugs now regulated, but also new drugs that may come into existence. A law can be so worked as to embrace the new drugs, and there will be no need for further legislation along that line. "Some persons have asked me where the routine habit originally came from. It is a hard question to answer, but I really think that it came from the West Indies. I imagine that the negro help on ships from the West Indies brought the habit to New York year ago."

NEW YORK'S SHARE OF IN- COME TAX IS NOT COSTLY Only a Few Added Assistants in the Office of the Internal Revenue Collector, and the Total Additional Salaries Will Be Only $200 Per Month—Young Women Prove Best for This Work. (Special Cor. to The Bee.) New York City. What is it costing Uncle Sam to collect the income tax? Most of those who are not exempt from the provisions of the new law are likely to reply: "Entirely too much." But those who say they are against the tax "merely because of the expense in collecting it," will be forced to find another excuse after a talk with Collector Anderson of the internal revenue office in the Custom House, where from 3,000 to 10,000 inquirers are handled daily. March 2 is the "deadline," so if you want to escape a penalty, better drop in and see the collector before that day. "We have not hired a single permanent employee to help us in the collection of the tax," said Collector Anderson recently. "We have a few temporary stenographers to help us to answer the mail, but their total wages do not come to $200 a month. We have had to make bricks without straw down here, and we have succeeded in doing it. It has been a pretty difficult task, but we have done it. And on March 1 the hard work will be all over." "Is it not true that there are a great many people who have large estates who are holding up their returns with the idea that they will put them in at the last moment and by demanding receipts for them will thereby embarrass the government officials?" asked a reporter for The Globe "I can't say as to that," replied the collector grimly, "but this much I can say, if any one tries a trick like that he will be forced through the small end of the horn. Either we will get the returns or else we will penalize to the full extent of the law. We'll get the returns all right but it's a question whether or not every one will be able to get his receipt." "How did you ever manage to do it? How did you ever manage to organize this collection of income tax M. H. Well, we two or three states still to ratify the law I made up my mind it would go through and I went up to the Public library and read everything that has ever been printed in English on the subject of the income tax. I tried to read a couple of French books, too, but I have not studied French in a long time and foreign economics were too much for me. "Then, when the law was being debated I did an awful thing," confessed the collector, smiling. "I don't yet see how I did it and I don't believe I could do it again, but I read all the debates about it in the Congressional Record!" "When a paragraph was inserted in the law I knew why it had been put in, and if one was stricken out, I knew why it was stricken out. That was a help," continued Mr. Anderson. "Then, when the law was passed, I began my income tax school. I put young and old into it, every one that I thought I might possibly use in collecting the tax. I soon found that the young people were much better at catching on than the old, and then the big idea came to me. I decided to put the young women out in front to handle the government customers. They were the last people in the ```markdown ``` school, as far as knowledge of the law went, and they deserved the distinction. I might add that they were young women who didn't become peeved at questions. "Their presence has saved us more than anything else in connection with this office. Irascible men would come in, prepared to take the head off some fresh young clerk and to show him all that he did not know about the law, and when they were met by a smiling young woman with the soft answer that turnmeth away wrath, whom do you think won out?" "In fact, sweetness and light, have been the key words that have been used in connection with the whole work of income tax collection. I realized from the first that this law would not be a popular one at least at first. Ever since those Bostonians had their tango tea, direct taxation has been unpopular in the United States. And an income tax I saw, was likely to be especially so, in view of the fact that one such law had been declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. "Of course, this law could not be declared unconstitutional, because it was passed in response to a constitutional amendment. But that did not make any one happier who realized that the government was trying to get money out of him by a law that had been once declared unconstitutional. "So we adopted our motto from Matthew Arnold, and 'sweetness and light' have proven eminently satisfactory. That has been the principle on which we have acted right through. I was determined that the unpopularity of the law, that was bound to exist at first, would not be increased by errors in administration if I could help it. I have tried to give all the light that I could in as nice a way as I could. It has not been easy. We have had to overcome the great scarcity of forms and the difficulty of procuring forms. Why, one day I telegraphed for 40,000 of a certain form, and four days later I got four. But the work is almost over now." All the time that Mr. Anderson was speaking he was opening his mail. The letters were piling up in two parallel lines all the way across his desk, a distance about twice the length of Dr. Eliot's five-foot shelf. The collector stood up, ripped them open and sorted them as he spoke. "How many answered queries have you?" asked the reported. "I couldn't say," was the reply. "There are not many in comparison to the number of questions that have been asked. I am not exaggerating a bit when I say that we have answered millions of queries, most of them foolish. "And there is just one more thing I want to remark in that connection: I am glad that one bit of talk has subsided. I few weeks ago I used to hear from big people who had the care of many large incomes that I ought to have a $25,000-a-year lawyer in this office. You don't hear that any more, and I am thankful." Then the collector sighed and added: "My work would have been easy if it had not been for the questions that have been asked by the lawyers!" THE NEGRO YEAR BOOK.

It also appeared that he had lived alone and been separated from his wife some twenty years—and it does seem that when we go into the dark closets we find plenty of skeletons. Senator Bacon had owned real estate when he entered the Senate, and in the years it had enhanced in value. We know nothing about his family affairs, didn't know that he lived apart from his wife, and take it that they had reason for not living together. In his will he provided that after the death of wife and daughter seventy-five acres of land, practically in the heart of Macon, should he be used as a park for the public—except colored people. He said in his will that he was of the opinion that the social relations between the two races shall be forever separated, therefore the park is to be used exclusively by white people. This land is given as a memorial to his twin sons who died many years ago. Senator Bacon's departure from the material world evoked many beautiful tributes and all agreed that the South and the Nation had lost a worthy son. BANKING AND INSURANCE. Field Invaded by Negroes With Success -Ralph W. Tyler Tells of the Marvelous Record Made by the Race In Two Branches of Business Whose Doors Were Closed to Him By Ralph W. Tyler. On my trips through the country I was particularly interested in the conduct, by men of the race, of banking institutions and insurance companies. Banking and insurance is usually regarded as possibly the two highest forms of business activity, and requiring more care and financial acumen than any other form of business. The chances of success in each are more limited, and the possibilities of failure greater than in any other line of business. They are, too, the only two branches of business into whose mysteries the Negro has had no opportunity to become versed. Since, with perhaps but few, rare and isolated instances, white banks and white insurance companies have afforded the Negro no opportunity to learn; have not employed him, except as janitors, which occupation is so far removed from contact with the actual business operations as to make it impossible for the Negro thus lowly employed to gain an adequate knowledge of the business. How he has succeeded in mastering the banking and insurance business, without opportunities to learn, is almost as great a wonder as any enumerated in Mother Shippen's prophecies. That he has learned the banking and insurance business, has developed them, and is now conducting these branches of business with signal success constitutes one of the best possible answers to the statements, by anti-race men, that the Negro is an inferior race, and alone proves the wisdom of the National Negro Business League. As I recall, Dr. W. R. Pettiford, president of the Alabama Penny Savings Bank, was the pioneer Negro banker in Alabama. He evolved from a minister of the gospel to a banker, possibly because having read so often in the Bible of the virgin who returned with ten talents after having been given five. When Dr. Pettiford established his bank at Birmingham, incredulous white men did not regard it as serious enough to last, and many colored men regarded it with distrust, as a sort of chateaux en Espagne. Today a magnificent steel building is the home of that bank, and over five hundred thousand dollars in resources, and regular annual dividends paid attests to its wise and conservative management. And from this bank, or rather inspired by the success of this bank, other Negro banks have sprung into existence, from Philadelphia to Jacksonville, Fla. In every city I have visited in which was located a bank or insurance company, I made it my duty to call upon each and ascertain facts about their establishment, their conduct, their assets and liabilities, and the personnel of their officers. I was accorded every opportunity to get at the facts—to learn the real condition of the institutions at the time. There was no restriction as to how far I should go, nor any reservation of facts and figures. Of the sixty-six Negro banks that have been established from time to time, perhaps not to exceed ten have failed, and of these which failed perhaps not more than two can charge their failure to fraudulent peculation on the part of officers. This speak well for the honesty of the men who have controlled the colored people' money intrusted to colored banks. The record of white bank failures shows a very much larger per cent of failure due to fraudulent transaction of officers. The greater number of Negro banks that have failed can honestly attribute their failure to either the failure of some big white bank, regarded as a financial Gibralter' through which they cleared; to stringency which made it impossible to realize upon good securities, or excessive loans, honestly made, on what was regarded as fair security. And the record 'of failures of white banks shows a very much larger per cent of white banks going down, either in good or panicky times, than colored banks. Banking records also show that, in proportion to numbers, is liquidating, colored banks that have failed have paid a larger per cent of their liabilities than have the white banks. This is indeed a splendid showing, and a high commendation for the Negro as a banker. I have visited banks conducted, and controlled, by Negroes in Montgomery, Ala., Tuskegee, Ala., Jackson, Miss., Indianola, Miss., Memphis, Tenn., Boley, Okla., Mound Bayou, Miss., Indianapolis, Ind., Washington, D. C., and Philadelphia, Pa. All appeared to be intelligently and conservatively conducted, and each had resources sufficient, in excess of liabilities, as to render them "safe and sound," and able to stand the most scrutinizing investigation by the bank examiner. With the increasing number of Negro banks being established, and the safe and successful operation of those already established, an opportunity is being afforded young colored men to learn that branch of business for which the Chinese have been famed for centuries as the masters in the Orient, and the branch of business in which the Jew, in Europe and America, is almost in supreme control. The entrance into the banking business and success attained by him, constitutes a chapter in the history of the American Negro so marvelously wonderful, so apparently utterly inconceivable, considering his opportunities to learn it, as to make it read like, a bit of fiction from the highly imaginative brain of a Hugo, a Dumas or a de Maupassant. Still banking business, among Negroes, is in its infancy. The next ten years, under the lash of race prejudice, and inspired by race pride and unity, many more banks will be incorporated, some with still greater capital. There are at least twenty cities today whose Negro population warrants the establishment, and assures the success of a Negro bank Equally surprising, and gratifying, is the success the Negro has made in the insurance business. How he has succeeded in this particular branch of business without previous experience, without a coach, and even without the semblance of the encouragement is really more surprising to white men than to the Negro himself. So substantial has been his success, so rapidly are colored insurance companies-being organized that the big white companies are beginning to take them seriously, so serious as to contemplate a recognition of the race, as administrative employees, in some of their companies into whose business the Negro insurance companies are cutting. In Philadelphia there are at least three insurance companies cont-trolled and conducted by Negroes, making inroads on the big white companies, and registering a high average of success. One of these was established a few years ago by perhaps a half dozen Negroes who each put in not to exceed $50, plus a lot of energy sincerity and confidence, and today the company owns its own building and has resources sufficient to satisfy the stringent insurance laws of the Keystone State. One of the other companies had about the same beginning, and it too has been a success, is wisely and conservatively managed: At Atlanta, Ga., there is a $100,000 paid-up capital company controlled and conducted by men of the race, and two or three others strongly established and efficiently managed, meeting every requirement of the State insurance laws. North Carolina, Mississippi, Texas, Oklahoma, the District of Columbia, Kentucky, Virginia and other States have chartered insurance companies successfully and profitably managed by colored men. Recently one of the companies operating in the District of Columbia, publicly contributed over $1,400 in dividends to its stockholders. That the colored insurance companies are being profitably conducted proves the erroneousness of the claim made by most white companies that the Negro is a bad risk. The success which has followed the Negro's excursion into the banking and insurance business constitutes an encouraging sign of race progress, proves the adeptness of the Negro for the two highest forms of business, and clinches the argument and warrants the optimism of the Tuskegee leader. Is the Negro fitted to become a financier? His banks and insurance companies is the answer. "My wife and I recommend Dr. Miles' Nervine for Fits Dr. Miles' Nervine for, Fits and spasms.

The moving picture film, beginning with the far-off days when chaos lay on the waters, is deplicting for us how God called the earth into being from the void and how He has upheld it and sustained it and carried it onward and upward toward its divinely appointed goal. All this is done while machinery, reproducing synchronously the tones of the human voice, helps in entertaining, enlightening and instructing the auditor. All this is being accomplished and will be accomplished by the marvelous photo-drama of "Creation," produced by the International Bible Students Association.

Washington.—Reports showing that of the $900,000,000 worth of cotton manufactures entering international markets in 1913 only 7 per cent was bought from the United States—the producer of more than two-thirds of the world's raw cotton—caused the department of commerce to institute a thorough investigation with a view of "enlarging the foreign trade in this important branch of American industry."

Official statistics show that, although India imports annually cotton goods worth about $200,000,000, only about $1,000,000 is received from the United States. China imports about $100,000,000 annually and receives only $8,000,000 from the United States. To the markets of Argentina, Brazil and Chile the United States sells less than $1,000,000 worth of cotton materials annually. It is further pointed out that in 1913 cotton manufactures to the amount of $65,500,000 were imported into the United States. SAVAGE DOG IS DRUGGED. Syringe, Shoots Chloroform Through Keyhole at Mad Canine. St. Louis. After Mrs. Charles Speck, who is prominent in society, had escaped from her bulldog, which attacked her, the animal was chloroformed through a keyhole by a doctor called to attend Mrs. Speck, who had been bitten severely upon the thigh and arms. Dr. Frank E. Chase, asked to kill the animal, attempted to enter the bathroom of the home of Mrs. Speck, where the animal had been lured, but was driven back. The doctor filled a syringe with chloroform and shot it through the keyhole. After ten ounces of the poisonous liquid had been sent into the room he entered and, saturating a handkerchief, completed the work. The bulldog was stupefied when he entered and did not attack him. Mr. Speck's pet attacked her when she stepped on its tail. HURT, MAKES CRUTCHES. With Leg Broken Is Thus Able to Reach His Home. Loup City, Neb. - Despite the fact that his left leg was broken between the ankle and knee, Stanley Krokolo ski, a Polish farmer, dragged himself 100 feet to a thicket by a creek. There he cut two crutches with his knife and upon these managed to drag himself half a mile to the home of his brother, where he received medical treatment. To add to his discomfort a blizzard was raging at the time and the mercury was below zero. The farmer had been in town and was on his way home when his team ran away and threw him out of his wagon. Hens Getting Up Steam. Wichita, Kan.—Mrs. Amos Spray, on South Routan avenue, reports that she has the record breaking hens for cold weather. From thirteen hens she received 140 eggs in sixteen days. Mrs. E. E. Van Gundy of Wellington, challenges the record with 14 hens that laid forty-eight eggs in sixteen days. LOVE OF CATS NO TESI. Aged Spinster Who Harbors Stray Animals Is Sane, Say Physicians. Ithaca, N. Y.-Miss Jennle Butts, a spinster, sixty years of age, residing in McLean, Tompkins county, has "an abnormal pity for animals and cats that dominate her home, but she has no delusions and therefore cannot be adjudged crazy," declare two physicians appointed to pass on her sanity. Miss Butts has twenty-seven cats in her house at the present time, and they are housed in almost every room in it. She also keeps three horses and thirteen cows, and her alleged failure to take care of these properly because of her devotion to the cats led to a complaint. Miss Butts says she is too kind hearted to kill the cats. She said that the unusual number of them in. her house was not necessarily due to a natural increase, but said that any resident, of her township who desired to get rid of a cat just "drops it in front of the house." Judge Sweetland dismissed the lunacy proceedings, but on suggestion of the physicians will probably name a guardian or manager for the other live stock belonging to Miss Butts. TOOTH SHOWS HIS GUILT. Rubber of Paris Dentist Betrayed by a Cast From His Mouth. Paris.—An expert crook, Jullen Lemas, was caught here in an ingenious manner. The specialty of Lemas was robbing dentists. He called on a fashionable dentist and asked that a gold crown be fitted on one of his teeth. The dentist took a cast of the tooth, and a few moments later, when he went into his laboratory with the mold, Lemas pocketed a costly gold set of teeth which had been left for repairs by a marquise, and also $100 worth of sheet gold. Lemas was arrested shortly afterward and taken before a magistrate. He strenuously denied the theft and was about to be set free when the magistrate decided to send for the cast taken by the dentist. When this was brought into court it was found to fit Lemas' tooth exactly, and the thief was held for trial. JAPAN MODELING SCHOOLS ON OURS Dr. Sato Tells of His Country's Development. Washington. - Dr. Shosuke Sato, president of the Tohoku Imperial university and one of the representative men in the new Japan, is in America. Dr. Sato came to the United States to lecture at fifteen American colleges as an exchange professor for the Carnegie Foundation For World Peace. He was a classmate of Woodrow Wilson at Johns Hopkins university. Present day education in Japan is largely shaped upon American lines, according to Dr. Sato, and Americans had a great deal to do with the changes that were made some years ago in the common school system. Dr. Sato is a Christian, and he says that the opposition to Christianity which was formerly encountered in the Japanese empire has now died away. Modern education has caused many young Japanese to lose the faith of their forefathers, and they feel the need of a religion. Therefore Christianity is being studied, and many are embracing that creed. "I may tell you that we now have a fine system of common school education in Japan. According to the latest statistics, we have 25,910 elementary schools, in which are employed 152,011 teachers, and the pupils in these schools number 6,861,718. That means that 98.2 per cent of all the children in Japan of school age are attending school. Education is compulsory to this extent—all children must be sent to school at the age of six, and they must attend school for six years. In the graded schools they can be taken care of for two years longer, but the last two years' attendance is not obligatory." IN PRISON, ASKS POSTCARDS. Russian Woman Revolutionist Sends Word to American Friends. Boston.—Greetings to friends in America were contained in a letter received by Miss Alice Stone Blackwell from Mme. Catherine Breshkovsky, who is confined in the central prison at Irkutsk, Siberia. It is the first word from the Russian revolutionist since her escape from the island in the Lena river at Kirensk and subsequent capture by the Russian police. Mme. Breshkovsky said that her friends in America had no cause to be alarmed about her health, but she would like to have them send her some postcards. Plight of Old Homesteader. Roseburg, Ore.—H. L. Acker, a settler of the Upper South Umpqua country, who has lived on his claim for twenty-nine years almost continuously, has been refused a patent owing to the fact that he did not file his intention soon enough. Acker has cleared many acres, raises stock and cattle and makes Acker Butte ranch his home. He intends to squat on the land as long as he lives, and he is now an old man.

SULLIVAN OPPOSES SALOONS Former Pugilistic Champion Predicts Doom of Liquor. LICENSE MEN WHO DRINK. Novel Suggestion Made by Former Idol of Prizefight Lovers—Would Not Allow Men Who Had Not Paid License to Purchase Liquor—Would Put Dealers Under Heavy Bonds. New York.—"The day is coming when there will be no saloons. There has been a great change in the last thirty years, and a man can't drink now and get away with it as he could then. The day has passed when a man could drink and his employer would stand for it because he was a good workman." It was no other than John L. Sullivan talking—John L., who, in his brilliant and meteoric career in the pugilistic ring, punished more men and whisky than most of them. His big bass voice reverberated through the room with the sonority of a shout down a deep well. His great fists and his massive frame suggested the physical prowess that was, once his. Only a gouty great toe that kept the right foot a little in the air hinted that the erstwhile champion might not be able to give a good account of himself with one of his modern "gate receipt" successors. "They said when I was whooping it up years ago that I would die in the gutter. Put I told them. I quit drinking one night five years ago, and I haven't touched a drop since. I was ```markdown ``` drunk at the time and had a bottle of wine before me when suddenly I made up my mind I was through and threw it away. The booze game is a game no one can beat. Every fellow thinks, he can, but if he doesn't let it alone it will get him. "I am not one to moralize. You couldn't have told me then what I know now. To appreciate a thing a fellow has to try it himself, but I am sure the liquor thing is a losing game and that the day is coming when there will be no saloons. "I have often thought a good way to solve the problem would be to license the fellow who drinks. Make the fee a good. stiff one and make It illegal for any one to sell a man liquor unless he shows a license card. And then saloon keepers and bartenders ought to be put under bonds, so that they would be responsible for anything that happened in their places of business." Speaking of prizefighting, he said: House & Herrmann 7th and Eye Sts., N. W of all kinds and description, House and Herrmann is the place to visit.

Lyons, N. Y.-Leslie A. Riggs, an Alton farmer, twenty-two years old and married, was arrested and confessed to sending Black Hand letters to himself, putting poison in his hogs' feed and burning his barns. Riggs announced recently that he had been receiving the Black Hand letters. He insured his property for $4,200. Then his barns burned. Two years ago Riggs, with his father, mother and brother, was struck by a passenger train near Alton. He escaped. The rest were killed. His head was injured at the time. Keeper and Deer Fight. Wichita, Kan. — John West, an attendant at the animal enclosure in Riverside park, a municipal playground, was attacked by a long horn deer while in the lot. The animal knocked West down and gored him painfully before he could get hold of its antlers and prevent further wounds. Bystanders fought the deer off, and West was taken to a hospital. A colored school teacher, Mr. Johnson, of near Gathrie, Okla., recently refused an offer of $100,000 for a piece of land that did not cost him one-tenth of that amount. An oil well has sunk on his land which yields him a royalty of $50 per day. Mrs. ida A.

In dealing with the House of Sons God, through the Head of that House, has set up a new Law, which means much more than Moses’ Law was understood to stenify. It is the Law of Love.

Manning C._ Jones, colored, was held for the action of the grand jury in $2,000 bonds today in the -Police Court by Judge Pugh, on a charge of housebreaking. Miss Louise Brooks, daughter of Leo C. Brooks, of the Lucerne apart- ments, 1539 I Street northwest, tes- tified at a preliminary hearing before judge Pugh that her father and mother were out one’ evening and that she entertained some friends in their apartment. Several of her friends left later, she said. After a time, the witness said,.she heard‘a noise in the hallway and thought her parents had returned. Starting to- ward the front door, she said, she parted the portieres in the hallway and came face to face with a colored man, whom she identified as Jones. Judge Pugh, after -hearing Miss Brooks’ testimony, held Jones for the grand jury. ATHLETIC NOTES, By Edwin B. Henderson. For the first time in the history of the National Guards of the District, the First Separate Battalion, Major James E, Walker, commanding, held a large indoor meet_in the armory under the True Reformers’ Hall. The games of basket ball were well played, but would have showed off to better advantage had the ceiling been higher. Indoor Kaseball proved a striking hit, and was-much enjoyed by spectators and players. ‘Mr. Mer- riam Hyson presented a splendid ex- hibition of bag punching and the four round bouts of sparring were classy performances. The shot putting and high jumping features of the program were largely entered by guardsmen. A squad drill was interesting and _was won by a squad entered” from Company A, Credit for the occasion must be given in large measure to Maior Walker, Lieutenants Brown and Hamilton. Hereafter. the Guards may prove a competing unit in the open athletic contests in various sports in the District. 7 eyes High School teachers, elementary school téachers, business men and others are to engage in some indoor baseball in the gymnasium of the Y. M/C. A. at an early date. The Slims and the Fats, the Mutts and the Jeffs, and the Benedicts and the Bachelors are to meet soon. This is open to members of the Y. M. C. A. Mr. Kennard is chairman of the com- mittee in charge of Indoor Baseball. On Friday the 12th, at 3:30 P. M., the girls’ basket ball team of the Colored High School of Baltimore, Md., will travel to Washington and play the Armstrong Manual Train- ing School girls’ hasket ball teams in the school gymnasium.

The following comment is upon the same, from the Seattle, Wash., Daily Times: , The evidence submitted by Elder Webb tending to prove that the Saviour of mankind was‘a black man seems to be ‘sufficient to put those who oppose the proposition upon their proof, Now that the chain, of evidence presented by Mr. Webb seems so complete, it is strange that none of the delvers in the Biblical records have advanced the proposition be- fore.

This will be a resumption of athletic relations be- tween Baltimore High School and Armstrong, and the first contest that has been played by teams represent- ing these institutions since 1911. Misses Bruce and Slowe, of Balti- more, and Misses Lee, Campbell,-and McAdoo, of Washington, will be in charge of the game. Coaches Murray, Menard and Compton have called their charges to consider baseball at Armstrong, M Street, and Commercial High Schools. The chinning contest is on in most of the public schools of the city. The last two games played‘in the Union Athletic League schedule re- cently were classy contests. The crack Armstrong Manual Training School quint had to fight hard before it secured a commanding lead -over the Association five although the score of 23 to 10 seems a one-sided result, Commercial High School's ‘contest with the Cardinal quint is well judged by the score of 21 to 15, won by the Cardinals. + In the first test, William Smith starred beyond all others and yet the team as a whole played well. An- derson was thesonly player on the Association quint to merit mention. Hopkins of the Commercial basket ball team and Henderson of the Car- dinals were the two players in the Commercial vs. Cardinal game to at- tract most aétention. Summary. Y.M.G A. Pos.

This book is illustrated with many pic- tures. Price, $1.00 by mail. The following comment is from the Seattle Daily Post Intelligencer: Elder J. M. Webb, evangelist of the Church of God, in his book de- scribes the black man as the fa- ther of all civilization. He takes the Bible to’show that the fathers of the church and all the great leaders, even the Greatest One, was black. Mr. Webb’s work is able and thoughtful, Whether the AnglosSaxon believes him or not, Mr. Webb writes what he believes to be true about his race and their place in Biblical history.

The widely heralded “Olympic” team composed of colored students of the Harrisburg High School, Penn- sylvania, was overwhelmingly de- feated by the score of 55 to 13 by the fast Armstrong basket ball team in the Tech gymnasium Friday night. The Armstrong boys were on their mettle and played in fine form, while the visitors showed a lack of prac- tice on large courts. At times the work of the Armstrong lads was bril- liant and brought forth round after /round from the spectators. Much credit is due Mr. Maurice Clifford for the great basket ball team Tech has this year.
