IF ITS NEWS, ITS IN THE BEE, FOR THE BEE IS A NEWSPAPER. THE BEE Washington's Best and Leading Negro Newspaper-That's THE BEE WASHINGTON VOL. XXXIV, NO. 42 WASHINGTON: D. C., SATURDAY, APRIL 4, 1914 GOOD OPPORTUNITY OUR BOYS. Something for Them to Do—What Is a Trade Without Practice?—E. Z. Adjustable Slides for Trucks and Vehicles—Something for the Purchasers to Talk About—Visit the Room of Agreeable Minister. Year after year thousands of boys and young men graduate from the several industrial schools in this country. After their graduation there is nothing for them to do except to go to some watering place or summer resort. Every avenue of industry is closed to them. The more highly educated the boy is, the less the opportunity is for him. Messrs. S. Batteese and A. V. Thornton, two of the most enterprising men in the United States, have fitted up their room, 1815 Fifteenth Street Northwest, where the most remarkable objects may be seen. In this room, hanging up against the wall of this house may be seen pictures and drawings of the inventive genius of Mr. Battesse. It is a most remarkable sight. This E. Z: Adjustable Sides will fit every known truck, vehicle, etc., in existence and any that may come into existence for seventeen years. Mr. Batteese and Thornton want to lay a foundation for young colored boys who graduate from the vocational and industrial schools in this country. The object of these two enterprising citizens is to give employment to young colored boys. Build a large manufacturing plant in which boys may be employed to make these sides. They will be able to earn from $6 to $15 per week when the plant is established. Here is an opportunity for the ministers to interest young men in practical work. The Bee would suggest to the entire ministry of the city to visit Messrs. S. Batteese and A. V. Thornton at 1815 Fifteenth Street Northwest, where these goods are on exhibition from 9 a. m. to 9 p. m. Here is an excellent opportunity for the ministry to help humanity in a practical way. What is there for the young boy to do after he leaves school? He learns a trade, but if he is not permitted to work at it what good is it to him? These Adjustable Sides will fit any wagon or vehicle that is made. It is the most convenient and serviceable attachment that is made. Will the people who are interested in boys take the trouble to visit this house and look for themselves? A Factory in this city for the hundreds of boys turned out of school every year from the manual training and vocational schools will be able to find city employment in this factory. They will have their own foremen and their own building. This factory is for the benefit of boys alone. They would have something to do, not only to keep them busy, but to give them a living occupation. Messrs. Batteese and Thorton are two energetic men. They know what boys should have to enable them to succeed. While all kinds of theories are advanced for colored boys and girls, these men give you the real thing. Colored boys must be doing something practical. There are thousands of boys in this city with trades, but no occupation. A factory in this city would be a great acquisition to it. A fine display of models and samples of what this great inventor is doing and will be pleasing to the eyes of those who will call and inspect them. And then if you are not convinced. Messrs. Batteese and Thorton will be convinced that nothing is pleasing to their people. This invention will fit any wheelbarrow, express wagon, buggy, platform, motor truck, etc. It should be in the possession of every merchant who has any kind of business. DEFENDING THEIR RIGHTS. Israel C. M. E. Church Crowded. The seating capacity of Israel C. M. E. Church was taxed to its utmost last Friday night at the call of the National Sentinel to discuss the present grave conditions that confront the Negro, politically and civilly, of today. The meeting was opened by singing the hymn, "Jesus, Savior, Pilot Me," by the congregation, which was followed by invocation by the pastor, Rev. W. H. Nelson. Dr. Geo. Richardson was then introduced by the president, Mrs. Helen A. Davis, who presided. His speech was heartily received and showed that much thought and labor had been spent in its getting up. Some very interesting information was imparted that was enthusiastically received by the audience. Judge E. M. Hewlett made, as usual, a very able talk on the prowess of the race, giving a thrilling incident of a man who had his legs and arms so mutilated that he felt he was in the way, and in the thickest of the battle, which was a naval one, he pleaded to be thrown overboard. This man's name was Johnson, he said, but not "Jack Johnson." He also made an able plea for the just recognition of the great work undertaken by the women of the National Sentinel, saying the men especially should feel proud of them, as their work, when accomplished, would go far towards effecting sentiment favorable to the cause, and urged their unselfish support. His speech was interjected frequently with applause. His speech showed the character of the-man for his broadness and liberality. Rev. Simon P. W. Drew also made an able talk, outlining the different ways in which the colored race were handicapped, because of a lack of unity, commercially, spiritually, politically, civilly, and otherwise. He advised them to get together and do something besides talk; to uphold any and every movement that would promise help, no matter in what direction, if it would improve his people. He said the dominant race was ever ready to help the "Women's movement." These men highly estimate their worth. Why not the Negro? His remarks met with a continual round of applause. Ensign James N. Roberts, of the Salvation Army, rendered effectively two very beautiful solos. After which a collection was taken up and benediction was said by the pastor, Rev. W. H. Nelson. McKINLEY Memorial Church—Interesting Services Last Sabbath. The high tide of enthusiasm was overflowing in all of the services last Sunday at the McKinley Memorial Baptist Church, corner of Fourth and L Streets Northwest, Rev. S. Geriah Lamkins, pastor. The sermon at 11 a. m. by the pastor was listened to with wrap attention and rejoicing by all present. He was assisted by Rev. Batch, of New York; Rev. Turner, of Virginia, and Rev. W. H. Underwood, of Washington, D. C. The Rev. Dr. Alfred J. Tyler, the evangelical pastor of the Mount Airy Baptist Church, preached one of the most remarkable sermons of his life at 3 p.m. It was full of spiritual enthusiasm and power, from the text: "I am He that liveth and was dead; behold, I am alive forevermore, and have the keys of death and hell. The church was on fire with the Holy Spirit. The devotional services were conducted by Rev. Reid. Rev. Roberts, Rev. Drew, Rev. Wheeler and Rev. Westry. The singing was led by Mrs. Truxton Reid, the wife of Rev. Reid. Chairman Mason of the deacon board of Mount Airy Baptist Church and Trustee Plummer, assisted by Mrs. Mary M. Turner, lifted the collection. Rev. L. M. Stevenson, pastor of the Mount Sinai Baptist Church, preached a powerful sermon at 8 p.m. He was at his best. Rev. J. T. Green offered the invocation. The musical program was participated in by Prof. James, Prof. Brown, Mrs. Carroll, Mrs. Lamkins and others. Rev. Dr. Morris, of New York, Deacon Washington, of Mount Carmel, and Trustees Washington, Charles A. Clark, Mrs. James F. Bundy, Mrs. P. Ailer, Mrs. Anderson, Mrs. Clark and many other prominent people were present. It was a blessed day. CHRISTIAN WORKERS. Miss Kimball of Texas Speaks. An interesting meeting of the Allen Christian Endeavor Society of Metropolitan A. M. E. Church was held last Sunday evening at 6 p.m. A very large crowd was in attendance and the exercises were thoroughly enjoyed by all of those present. Devotional exercises were conducted by the president, Miss Anna Payne, after which the meeting was turned over to the leader for the evening, who was Miss H. Ball, chairman of the Missionary Committee. The topic for discussion was "What Missions Are Doing for the World" (Acts 13:1-12) and it was ably outlined and elaborated upon by the principal speaker for the occasion. Miss M. M. Kimball, of Texas. Miss Kimball is a missionary worker who is known all over the country, having been in the work for nearly ten years, and has traveled over fifteen States in the interest of missionary work. She said that missions are doing wonders for the world, especially in the uncivilized portions of it; however, their labors need not be confined to those sections alone, for there is plenty of work to do here at home, and especially among our down-trodden brother in the Southland. She further said that Christ was the first great missionary, for his charge to his disciples was, "Go ye therefore into all the world and preach ye the gospel unto every creature." The cause of Christ is the cause of missions, and a missionary may be young as well as old and vice versa. There are today 25,000 young men and women working in foreign fields for the uplift of the heathen. Many of these are college graduates, while associated with them in the work there, are 70,000 natives who are an important factor. The most remarkable missionary work of late years was that accomplished in the civilization of China, and certain portions of South Africa. Miss Kimball told an interesting experience she had among colored people in Mississippi, how she taught them the worth of cleanliness in their abodes and how they are today adhering to those same principles instilled many years ago. She emphasized the fact that a Christian worker who remains at home and gives his money and sends his prayers abroad to help the mis- SERATON R.

One of the most popular and best liked men in the United States. sionary in foreign lands, is as much a missionary as the one who is actually on the field. A vocal solo was rendered by Dr. M. L. T. Grant of this city, after which the audience listened to a reading by Miss Elizabeth Lomax, of Nineteenth Baptist Church. At the conclusion of the regular program for the evening Dr. I. N. Ross, pastor of the church, in very fitting and eloquent words installed Mrs. Stella Parker as superintendent of the, Intermediate C. E. Society, and Mr. S. Z, C. Westerfield as vice president of the adult society. The collection was then lifted and after a few announcements by the president, the benediction was given by Rev. DeWitt Wilson. Next Sunday is consecration meeting and one and all are cordially invited to be present and take part in the services. OPINIONS AT VARIANCE Over P. O. Inscriptions—School Teachers and Educators Interested in Reported Changes by President Wilson. School teachers and other professors of English are greatly interested in the report that has come from Cambridge, Mass., that the inscriptions on the new Washington city post office, written by Charles W. Eliot, president emeritus of Harvard University, were changed by President Wilson before they were recently carved into the stone faces of the building. Opinion varies as to whether the President's changes have improved the English of the inscriptions, educators expressing views on both sides of the question. The architects of the building asked Dr. Eliot to write the inscriptions, and they were submitted to the supervising architect of the Treasury, who passed them on to Secretary McAdoo. He showed them to the President, with the result that several changes were made. As written by Dr. Eliot and as revised by President Wilson, the inscriptions are as follows: By Dr. Eliot, for the east pavilion: "Carrier of news and knowledge." "Instrument of trade and commerce." "Promoter of mutual acquaintance, among men and nations, and hence of peace and good will." By President Wilson, for the east pavilion: "Carrier of news and knowledge." "Instrument of trade and industry." "Promoter of mutual acquaintance." "Of peace and good will among men and nations." By Dr. Eliot, for the west pavilion: "Carrier of love and sympathy." "Messenger of friendship." By President Wilson, for the west pavilion: "Messeger of sympathy and love. "Servant of parted friends." "Consoler of the lonely." "Bond of the scattered family." "Enlarger of the common life." Freemasonry.

Known as the Evergreen Star, March 20. From the Evening Star, March 30. Closely following the action of the Senate in favoring a substantial appropriation for continuing the work on the new Central High School building, and for the purchase of a site for the new Eastern High School, comes the news that the work of constructing a new high school building for colored pupils will probably be begun next fall. Congress, last July, having appropriated $150,000 toward the construction of this building, the authorized cost of which is to be $530,000, the announcement is now made that the plans for the proposed structure are practically complete. The pressing need for a new building for the colored high school is shown in the statement that the structure now in use was built to accommodate 450 pupils; that its present enrollment is more than 800, and that libraries, study halls and other rooms have been pressed into service as classrooms, though designed for other purposes. The efficiency of this school has suffered somewhat for a long time because of its crowded condition. The plans for the new building show a provision of space for 1,400 pupils, nearly double the present enrollment of the school. This appears to be looking well into the future, but the building will not be completed before the spring of 1916, and the school population of Washington is increasing rapidly. With the facilities and attractions of the new high school buildings, a marked increase in the high school enrollment may be looked for. Bethel Literary and Historical Association.

GIVEN AN OVATION GIVEN AN OVATION WASHINGTON'S Western Trip—Friday Night Club Entertains Him. Los Angeles, Cal., March 20.—Among the many receptions given Dr. Booker T. Washington, the Tuskegee educator, while he was here, one of the most notable was the one given by the Friday Morning Club, the largest and most exclusive woman's club of California. It was a most extraordinary affair and the largest attendance in the history of the club was present to listen to Dr. Washington. Women of the highest and best classes flocked to the meeting in such numbers that they had to stand in the court yard. The luncheon, which was afterward tendered* Doctor Washington, was equally well attended. It was a most unusual sight to see so many of the richest and most influential women of the city assembling to applaud and encourage a member of the Negro race. During Doctor Washington's stay in California, in Los Angeles and elsewhere, he has been most cordially welcomed by Southern white men and women who have located here in considerable numbers, along with the native Californians. Doctor Washington's address a few evenings ago at the combined meeting of the Tuskegee Club and the Los Angeles Local Negro Business League was an occasion of great importance in the civic life of the Negro people. Many hundreds of people were turned away despite the fact that many persons went to the church at 5:30 o'clock in the afternoon to be on hand for the meeting, which was not scheduled to begin until 8 o'clock. At Pasadena, the colored people raised money for two scholarships at Tuskegee Institute, and the Tuskegee Club of Los Angeles has not only given money for a scholarship, but also collected twenty dollars additional at the meeting addressed by Dr. Washington a few days ago. The wizard's sojourn in Southern California has been a veritable triumph, both for himself and the great cause for which he stands. Not the Author. Editor of The Bee: Sir: As a rule I do not take the time to deny stories to the effect that I was the author of this or that article, and anything I do write I am courageous enough to acknowledge. I have just been apprised by letter that some mendacious person has given out the impression that I was the author of an alleged article, which appeared in dialect, in The Bee, under the Sage of the Potomac, criticising the teachers. I simply want to affirm without qualifications that I absolutely had no connection with it, directly or indirectly, which the Editor of The Bee knows full well. RALPH W. TYLER. Orlando, Fla.; March 30, 1914. Senator Smoot. Senator Reed Smoot of Utah delivered an eloquent address to a large audience at the Cosmopolitan Baptist Church Sunday, March 29. His subject was, "Am I My Brother's Keeper?" It was one of the most eloquent and logical speeches that has ever been delivered by man. Senator Smoot is one of the best liked men in the United States. He has never failed to defend the rights of all citizens, irrespective of color. His speeches have always been on the side of humanity, and when the State of Utah elected him to the Senate the country was pleased. THE MAIESTIC THEATER. aissance Players at Majestic Theater April 18, 1914, is said to be the strongest play of its kind ever presented to a Washington audience. The dramatic situations are particularly striking. Artistic success is assured when we mention among others the names of Nathaniel Guy, who starred last year in the Merchant of Venice as Shylock, and Emily Janeefer Taylor, the talented actress who made such a pronounced impression as Portia. Among the thirty or more taking part in this drama are Mesdames Edna Gray, Adelaide Wormley Cardoza, Emma Lee Williams and Jesse Janeefer. To properly stage this production Messrs. W. D. Nixon and S. D. Milton, instructors in drawing at the M Street High School, pioneer scenic artists, have designed and painted all scenery necessary for this play. ANNOUNCEMENT Extraordinary-Harper's Ferry to Be Opened Again for the People. Mr. W. W. Martin, who so successfully conducted Storer College, Harper's Ferry. W. Va., for summer boarders last year, begs leave to announce to his many friends and last year's patrons that he will in addition to those conveniences he had last year, will add the splendid new stone building known as Lincoln Heights. Further information will be given later on. GOD'S STANDARD IS PERFECTION The Desire For Harmony With God a Part of Man's Original Perfection. Some Naturally Drawn to God—Faith the First Step—Consecration the Second Step—Then Growth In Grace and Knowledge—Lessons In the School of Christ—Justice the Foundation of Character—Love the Superstructure—The Great Test of Character. March 29.—Pastor Russell preached a very interesting discourse today on Holiness. His text was: "As he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation." (1 Peter 1:15). He said in part: PASTOR RUSSELL PASTOR RUSSELL The Scriptures explicitly declare that our great Creator made man in His own image and likeness, and pronounced His creature very good. But when sin entered the world, through the disobedience of Father Adam, he was cut off from fellowship with his Creator—as a part of the penalty of sin. This alienation from God must have been one of man's most grievous trials. He must have hungered and thirsted to draw near to God once more, to have the Divine protection, the Divine love; otherwise he could not have been created in the perfect image of God. But as centuries rolled on Adam's posterity became more and more deprived and demoralized; the original character-likeness to God became blurred, falit, indistinct. So while the desire for God still remains, in some it is more pronounced than in others. In some it is so feeble that they care little for their Creator and are easily satisfied by the pleasures of the world or by the sensualities of life. Many are separated from God through ignorance, superstition and the doctrines of demons, as the Bible declares. Misunderstanding our gracious Creator, they are thus driven away from Him. Whatever of natural inclination they have had the Adversary seeks to thwart. As St. Paul declares, "The god of this world hath blinded the minds of them that believe not, not the light of the glorious Gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them" (2 Corinthians 4:4), should scatter the darkness and make known to them the true character of God; and thus they should be drawn to Him. But with some of the race desire for God and righteousness has prevailed above the stupifying influence of the world, the flesh and the Devil. This class are drawn by the natural inclination of their minds Godward—desiring to be in harmony with their Creator. While those who were not born of religious parents have had a large experience with sin and alienation from God, others, born in a measure of justification, have had a measure of fellowship with God always, as children of believers. This class are in a favorable condition to be drawn of God, and to hear His voice speaking peace to them and pointing them to Jesus Christ as the Way, the Truth, the Life. "Lord, Show Us the Father!" As these come to appreciate our Lord's beautiful character and His loyalty to the Father, and to understand that He came into the world to die for Adam's sin, their hearts respond with increasing gratitude to the Redeemer and to the Heavenly Father, whose Thin our Lord was carrying out. More and more do they to draw closer to God, and to be recognized of Him as members of His family Through the Word the Master instructs them that whoever will walk in His steps shall eventually see God in the funness of Heavenly glory. Still further study of the Scriptures informs this class that the first step to be taken is one of faith. "Bellevue on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved." Those who take this step must recognize that they are sinners, under the Adamic sentence, from which no one can be freed except in God's appointed way—Jesus. Then by faith they must accept Jesus as the Bedeemer of Adam and his postity. They must perceive that His death on Calvary was a sacrificial one; and that the grand outcome of this Ransom sacrifice will be that the Kingdom of God will be established in the earth for the purpose of uplifting mankind out of sin and death conditions—back to the full image of God in the flesh. The Call of the Gospel Age. Those who take this first step may know what is the second step; and if they have sufficient faith to take this step, their sins will be forgiven and they will be granted a new nature. This second step is to accept God's invitation to "present their bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, their reasonable service." Those who accept this invitation are thus privileged to sacrifice their all of earthly time, talent, wealth, etc. When they have so done, our Lord impulses to them individually His merit, and thus makes them holy and acceptable unto God, who immediately accepts them and begets them of His Holy Spirit. Thenceforth they are New Creatures—"old things have passed away and all things become new." They are now counted as members of His glorious Church. Their sins that are past are all cleaned; and the New Creature has no dealllement of itself. But attaching to the flesh are certain imperfections, which from time to time crop out. The New Creature is to be prompt to notice these; for the New Creature is the new will, which henceforth regulates the mortal body. Apparently some of God's dear people have not realized what a contract they have on hand. Some are inclined to be careless about watching the very things which they have been told to watch. It is for all the consecrated to remember that their first obligation is in respect to their own flesh, not that of others. We may give each other valuable suggestions, but the responsibility for the body rests with each as a New Creature. And here we have the task of our lives; for in our flesh, as the Apostle says, dwells no perfection. Some have one degree of imperfection and some another; some are more imperfect and blemished in one way and others in another. But as the Scriptures continually assure us, there is none righteous, none perfect, no, not one. We all come short and need to recognize our shortcomings; and we are to fight the good fight against them. The New Creature In School. Whoever would be of the class to which God has called us must of necessity be developed; therefore whoever God has called, accepted and begotten of the Holy Spirit are in the School of Christ. Then begin the lessons which they must learn—they must grow in grace, in knowledge and in love. As the Apostle explains, they must be transformed—be formed over. If they are not thus transformed, they will not be ready for the Kingdom to which they are called. This transforming is not a work in the flesh, although it will affect the flesh to some extent. It is the renewing of the mind—their minds must become new. Thereafter matters are to be decided, not according to their preferences, but according to certain principles—justice and love. The New Creatures in Christ have a set of new rules, altogether different from what they had before they became New Creatures. The world has no such rules and regulations as those which are applicable to the New Creatures in Christ. Everything done by those who are in the School of Christ must be squared by the Rule of Justice. They dare not do anything that would be unjust to a neighbor, to a brother or to anybody. To the full extent of their ability the New Creatures must render justice. Many of the Lord's people apparently have not fully realized this fact—that obedience to the rules governing the new nature means absolutely the Golden Rule on their part toward all others. They must not do to others what they would not have others do to them. Because of failure on the part of some to recognize this principle, the way of the Lord is spoken evil of sometimes. If a Christian falls to pay his debts, or if he is careless as to how he involves himself in debt, it is because this principle of justice does not stand out prominently enough before his mind. As an old creature he has perhaps been in the habit of ignoring the lines of justice and of sliding along as he may be able, and of leaving others in the lurch. This will not do for the New Creature; for he has come under a set of new rules, and no matter how much the old creature may seek to shirk, the New Creature's duty is to bring the body into subjection and to see that justice rules in every act and word, and so far as possible in every thought. "They Shall All Be Taught of God." To whatever extent the principles of justice control our minds, to that extent we have character-likeness to God. The cultivation of these principles in all our actions and dealings, in all our words and thoughts, must be our daily concern. It may be comparatively easy to be just so far as money is concerned, to say, I would pay to the very last penny, and would live on the plainest of food rather than be in debt; but if it is not so easy to be thoroughly just in our words and thoughts The New Creature is to sit in judgment on every word which his mouth may utter. It is no wonder that St. James says that if any man sin not with his tongue the same is a perfect man. The New Creature is to be on guard that he may be developed along this line, and must thoroughly show the Lord that he has no sympathy with injustice. One must be just in his thoughts before he can be properly just in his dealings. The man who thinks unjustly will act unjustly, in spite of himself; therefore the New Creature must be disciplined even to the control of his thoughts. He must never think of any one except with an unprejudiced mind, a calm judgment, seeking to give others the benefit of the doubt, there is any doubt whatever. Additionally, he must heed the Lord's counsel that we should exercise great mercy, and that He would rather have err in the sense of being too lenient than have us be merely just. But beyond justice comes love, the very highest of God's attributes. God is just; but He is Love, also, which is higher, in the sense that it implies something more than mere justice. Not only will God do full justice to everybody, but He will do a little more—He will do something of love. This He shows us in His dealing with mankind. God was only just when He condemned the race of Adam as unfit for everlasting life; and He would still have been just if He had never provided redemption or any other opportunity for the world whatever. God is more than just, however, and so in due time He provided the Redeemer. This was Grace, this was Mercy, this was Love. And Love has been working all through His great Plan of the Ages, providing first the Savior, then making provision for the Church, that through, His mercy we might come from the banks of sinners up to the ranks of glory. To accomplish this, He has forgiven the sins of the Church, has encouraged them by assurances of His love and favor all the way and has made all things work together for their good. "Be Ye Perfect." This, then, is the Love of God; and the New Creatures in Christ must have this character-likeness to God. We must have love, sympathy, and not merely justice. There is nothing of grace in the giving of justice; anything less than justice is wrong. But the Lord's people must be more than just; they are to be kindly affectioned one to another, tender-hearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake has forgiven them. Our Heavenly Father wishes His children to see that quality in His character and, to copy it. This is what Jesus meant when He said, "Be ye perfect, even as your Father in Heaven is perfect." We cannot bring our mortal body to that degree of perfection where every act would be perfect, every word perfect, but the mind must be in full sympathy and accord with God and His arrangements, and each must strive to the best of his ability to bring the body into harmony with God. As the Bible teaches, the Church class are in the School of Christ, being taught of God—His workmanship. By His providence and His Word He has been working in us, by our experiences, which He has shaped for us, and by the opportunities which He gives us. All these things are designed by the Lord to bless us and to develop us in His own character-likeness, so that, as Jesus said, we may be like unto our Father in Heaven, so that we may be holy, even as He is holy—that our intentions, aims, desires, may be of exactly the same kind as His own. If, therefore, any one who professes to be a New Creature in Christ has in his heart a feeling of bitterness, envy or strife, let him hearew! Such a condition of heart is dangerous; it is not of the Holy Spirit at all. Those who have such elements of character are not holy as the Heavenly Father is holy. On the contrary, as the Apostle explains, these qualities of character are works of the flesh and of the Devil; and to whatever extent one possesses these, they are the result of the spirit of the flesh and of the Devil at work in the heart. But if, on the contrary, one has holiness and a futility of desire to know and to do God's will as an increasing power in his heart, then he is indeed being sealed of the Holy Spirit of God. The character-liceness of our Father in Heaven is being impressed upon him. He is more and more coming to see things from God's viewpoint—to see as God sees, to sympathize with the things with which God sympathizes, to be opposed to the things to which God is opposed. The Grand Climax of Character. Of our Lord Jesus it was written: "Thou lowest righteousness, and hatest iniquity; therefore God, Thy God, bath anointed, Thye with the oil of joy above Thy follows" (Psalm 45:7)—above the angels, above the Church, making Him to be Head over all things to the Church and decreeing that all the angels shall worship Him (Hebrews 14:30). In order to copy Him we must see to what extent He loved righteousness and hated iniquity. He so hated wickedness that in every way He avoided injustice, iniquity, unrighteousness, sin; and He so loved righteousness that He preferred to die even the death of the cross rather than to resist the will of God. This, then, is the great test of character going on with the Lord's people, and according to these lines God is dealing with them. It is not merely that they are fighting the good fight and trying to accomplish something in their flesh; for the New Creature will never succeed in getting as good control of the flesh as he could wish. But what God wishes to see in His people is that their whole hearts are set for righteousness, that they love the right and hate the wrong, and that they are striving to the best of their ability to put down the wrong and, to uphold the right, especially in themselves—in their own characters and in their own acts, words and thoughts. So shall they be' the children of the Highest; and when our great Redeemer shall examine them for graduation from the School of Christ. He shall be ready to say to each, "Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things. I will make the ruler over many things." The Peace of Christ makes fresh my heart, A mountain ever springing; All things are mine since 1 am his- How can I keep from singing? 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—Tells 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. Kanple, a former revenue raider, who is said to be the only American survivor of the ill fated force under the immediate command of General George A. Custer. Mr. Kanple hos 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 1876. Mr. Kanije 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. Kanije 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 serenely 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. Kanjee was born at Marton 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 sergeanty 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 Kanlip says, "and he could single foot faster than most cavalry horses could run. Captain (later 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 in 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 campaign 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 escape I have never been able to learn." Mr. Kanipe after learing 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 slam 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. 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 Yale Furnishing the Music 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 pounding 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 jig. 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 Stealing 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 slow 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 pliggen, where the service is not of the best, but food in plenty is to be found. BULLDOG A LIFE SAVER. Pulls Covers From Its Master When the Bedroom Is In Flames. Minneapolis- To the watchfulness of the pet bulldog of C. C. Smith Edward Cox probably owes his life. Cox, who keeps Mr. Smith's dog, was awakened in the night by cold. The dog had pulled all the covers from the bed and was scratching frantically at Cox's arm. Cox awoke to find the interior of the room in fames, and he and the dog rushed out. Firemen were summoned, and they extinguished the fire, which had destroyed the bedclothes, the dog's bed of rags on a chair and some curtains and burned a hole in the floor. SAVE MINER AFTER A WEEK. One of Two Entombed Lived on Dinner Pail Contents and Seepage. Seattle.—Mike Davasconick, one of two coal miners entombed by a cave-in in the Cannon mine of the Pacific Coal company at Franklin, was rescued alive after seven days. Though he was weak from lack of food, the mine physician said he probably would soon recover normal strength. Davasconick lived for a week on the contents of his dinner pail and water from seepage. FEDERAL LAW TO CURB DRUG HABIT EXONERATESTHEPHYSIGIANS 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 traffic 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 vittating 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 soonor or later," he said. "The widespread use of drugs, which is ruling 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 critiqued for filling 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 Bowery and patronizing a certain druggist. Before entering the store these men seemed to be downhearted and despondent, but coming out their manner had undergone a change. They appeared to be animalied and gleeled, cut up capers and seemed pleased with everything is general. "I saw one of them stuff cocaine one day. I succeeded in obtaining one of the drug and sent it to the board of health for analysis. It was found to be 99.50 per cent cocaine. Subsequently the drugstreet was forced to close up. "Laws that exist are not comprehensive enough. Some new drug springs 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 worded 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 cocaine habit originally came from. It is a final 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 years ago." MAKES MARRIAGE EASIER. Bill In French Parliament Will, if Passed, Remove Much Red Tape. Paris.—A bill was presented in the senate which if passed will greatly modify the existing marriage regulations. At present the complicated legal papers required, time absorbed and fees charged tend to make marriage unpopular among the poor. It is generally admitted that this condition is responsible for the enormous number of "free unions." The new bill eliminates various formalities and tends to make marriage easy in the twentieth century, when, as the bill states, "one has less and less time to do anything, even to marry."

MAGIC SHAMPOO DRIER COMPANY, MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA THE ADAMS OIL, GAS AND DEVELOPING COMPANY DRILL FOR OIL IN OKLAHOMA. Oklahoma oil is "liquid gold"—the miracle of the twentieth century." The Company. The Adams Oil, Gas and Development Company is incorporated under the laws of the State of Oklahoma with a capitalization of $15,000, the charter of which has just been issued. There are 15,000 shares of stock in this company, each having a par value of $1, fully paid and non-assessable when issued. The Company's Holdings. The company's properties on which drilling will be done consist of over 500 acres of some of the finest and most prospective drillable oil and gas territory in Oklahoma, situated in the counties of Carter, Hughes, Garvin, Muskogee, Cherokee and McIntosh, with options on a sufficient amount of other prospective oil lands in the State to carry the total acreage of the company's holdings above 1,000 acres. Our first venture will be in Carter County, where we have under lease and at our command over 300 acres of oil land. Contract has already been made and closed for the drilling of our first well in that county, and drilling operations will begin at once. Carter County (Healdton oil fields) is blooming into what now promises to be one of the greatest—if not the greatest—oil fields ever discovered in Oklahoma since the discovery of the famous Glenn Pool oil field; and, from the present outlook, that famous Glenn Pool oil field will be totally eclipsed by the wonderful Healdton-Ardmore oil field, which came into existence only about six months ago. You can tell something of the drilling, and operating activities now-going on in the Healdton-Ardmore oil field by taking a glance at the "Birdseye View of the Healdton Oil Fields" shown at the top of this page, and by looking east or to the extreme left of that picture you will observe approximately the locality where our first well is now being drilled. Better still, one of our properties and our first drilling location will be more clearly observed with reference to producing areas, and other drilling activities by taking a close look at and giving a careful study of the small map shown herein, which shows one of our choice properties containing 120 acres to be between and in close proximity to two producing areas. The drilling of that tract of land might prove to be a failure—it is possible, of course—but it is hard to convince old, experienced oil men that this location will prove other than one of the most prolific pieces of oil properties in the Healdton oil field. Upon noting its position with reference to production, you will observe that it is in direct line with the two producing areas, and is on about the same level with them, all of which tend to prove, as a general proposition, that the two fields will meet, with this 120-acre tract of land in the center or the heart of the oil field. Acting upon that theory, some of the largest oil companies and independent oil operators in the State are having a scramble for territory in that immediate vicinity; and, to prove their faith in that theory and direction, this 120-acre tract is now being surrounded with rigs and drilling wells. Our Policy - The Plan. It is our policy to so handle the funds and all other matters committed to our care that the most flattering returns possible will be realized on all investments. While our capital stock is placed at fifteen thousand dollars ($15,000), we do not expect to dispose of more than a max- um of five thousand dollars to enable us to more quickly get the affairs of the company in proper shape, and it will only be the shares of stock sold that will participate in the dividends, the unsold stock sharing no part of the dividends whatever. For instance, one of the largest wells brought in in the Healdton field to date came in with an initial production of ninety barrers per hour, or 2,160 barrers per day of twenty-four hours; but, to show you how dividends would be realized, we will not calculate on a production of 2,160 barrels per day from wells so large as the one just mentioned, but we will take the average production of the field to date, which is actually 200 barrels per day, and allowing the customary one-eighth of the 200 barrels per day for the owner of the land would leave the company 175 barrels per day for its share, and it is upon such rating (175 barrels per day) that the following statement is made, showing the approximate income of any individual on an investment of $100: One well, 175 barrels per day for one year or 312 days, 54,600 barrels. 54,600 barrels at $1.05 per barrel ..... $57,330 Less the very high estimated expenses for drilling, etc..... 7,330 Approximate net yearly income from one well ..... $50,000 Ratio of $100 investment to an issue of $5,000 worth of stock equals 100-5000 or 1-50; 1-50 of $50,000 equals $1,000, which is the net yearly income from one well on $100 investment. Remember in this connection that one well is drilled to an average of about every two and one-half acres. A smaller or greater investment would decrease or increase one's income proportionately, the same as would be in the case of a smaller or larger production. To the inactive and uninformed person, such seemingly fabulous income as just illustrated would appear to be like unto fiction or a fairy tale—but truth is stranger than fiction, for it is a well known fact that many instances can be cited where a small investment in the oil business has made the investor independent for life, as the returns from the following investments, compiled from dependable tables will show: Myers Fisher, of Kansas City, shoe clerk, received within one year $19,500 from a $250 investment. Herber Manuel, a German, received in eight months on a $300 investment the sum of $10,000. $100 invested in the Imperial Oil Company earned $4,500. $100 invested in the Loyal Oil $100 invested in the Lucile Oil Company earned $16,000. 100 invested in the Peerless Oil Company earned $4,200. $160 invested in the Fulerton Oil Company earned $6,150. $100 invested in the New Oil Company earned $2,900. $100 invested in the Pinol Oil Company earned $10,500. $400 invested in the Winchester Oil Company was sold in six months for $33,000. $300 invested in the Winemiller well was worth in nine months $25,000. $250 invested in the Home Oil Company has been valued at $100,000. 25c a share paid for Kcrn Oil Company's stock has paid per share of dividends of $23. Most every one in the United States is, or should be, acquainted with the fact that the little Negro child, ten years old and living in Oklahoma, is said to pay more income tax than any citizen in Oklahoma, white or colored; that her income the last three months of 1913 was more than $10,000—all realized from Oklahoma oil.

St. Louis, all of California, Denver, Again, every stockholder of record will share in all the profits and will participate in every piece of property or holdings now owned or to be owned by the company, and all stockholders will be on the same level in proportion to the shares of stock they own. Our articles of incorporation are so carefully drawn as to contemplate and permit us to enter into any and every phase of the producing and refining business of crude oils, and it is our intention, by wise and careful management, to ultimately reach the climax in that particular. Just as soon as our first producing well is brought in, all un-old stock, except a sufficient amount for development purposes, will be withdrawn from the market at once. We expect to own our own drilling outfit and all other machinery from the start, negotiations having already been begun to that end, for then our operating expenses and the risk incurred in drilling will be reduced to the minimum, which will mean more and greater profits for the stockholders, Benjamin Disraeli said: "Opportunity is more powerful than prophets or conquerors." A man's success in life is measured by investments, and your opportunity lies in cautious, yet hold, investments. That was the plan of John D.

Johnson, the popular and efficient treasurer of the Red Caps Association, is well and favorably known by Attorney General J. C. McReynolds. Mr. Johnson has in- huge investments to Oklahoma from the great money centers of Europe and from the large cities of America, such as Buffalo, Chicago, New York, St. Louis, all of California, Denver, Texas, Mississippi and from every nook and corner of America. Remember, foreign investors are pouring millions of dollars into the development of Oklahoma oil fields, and are not doing it blindly because they have means; for, upon investigation, you will find that such investors are more careful as to the character of their investments than the man of small means—so the question boils itself down to this: If shrewd investors can see the merit of investing millions of dollars in Oklahoma oil, if the proposition can stand up to their expert and thorough investigation so as to command their money, isn't it good and safe enough for you? Oklahoma covers the greatest area of high-grade oil in the world, without any exception, whatever, and development is considered now to be in its infancy. Risk—Speculation—Safety of Investment. To the average mind it is inconceivable to speak of safety in connection with searching for hidden treasures in the bowels of the earth, but when it is remembered that the government statistics show the risk or failures to be only 14 per cent of all wells drilled in Oklahoma, you will see the record it makes for great and quick returns, as well as for "safety." The Oklahoma oil industry is no "skin game" scheme; it is a safe investment—a purely solid, commercial Winslow AND EMBALMER Terms Most Reasonable terceded with the attorney general to secure a parson for Ira V.

PARAGRAPHIC NOTES The Negroes of Springfield, Ill., are to have a $60,000 Hotel and Theatre soon. Attorney A. Morris Williams has just completed plans for its erection at Eleventh and Adams Streets. The land consists of one hundred seventeen feet facing Eleventh Street and eighty feet on Adams Street. The hotel will contain sixty-three rooms. The U. S. Civil Service Commission has notified Miss Missouri Evans, of Columbus, Miss., that she made the highest average of all applicants in a recent first grade examination. United States Senator James O'Gorman, of New York, is urging an appropriation of $35,000 to show the progress made along material and intellectual lines for the past fifty years, by the American Negro, at the project, safer than any other commercial venture to which you might refer. When it is recalled that the great commercial agencies tell us that 90 per cent of all new businesses fail, and in comparing that fact with the statement of facts previously made herein, that the risk involved in drilling for oil in Oklahoma is only 14 per cent, any doubts as to the safety of investments in Oklahoma oil should disappear. Market for the Oil. Oklahoma oil has a ready and steady market. You have no need to peddle out your oil from day to day—find a market for it today and have no market tomorrow, etc., but there are five or more oil pipe lines tapping the Oklahoma oil fields, and the acreage of this company is in easy reach of all pipe lines that connect with the fields in which the company has holdings—so immediately the oil is brought to the surface of the earth, these pipe lines will connect with your well at their expense and thus your oil goes to the market immediately. Oklahoma oil goes in a continuous stream in pipe lines to the Atlantic on the one hand and to the Gulf of Mexico on the other. It is used in refineries in Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Beaumont, Corsicana, Louisiana and other places, aside from other uses made of it, the present output in Oklahoma being about 225,000 barrels per pure kbp still the quantity increases. Profits—Life of Wells The profits in Oklahoma oil are the greatest and quickest of any industry on earth, and when you remember, that the life of one oil or gas well is from 12 to 30 years, you can readily see how substantial an investment in Oklahoma oil would be. Last year Oklahoma produced considerably over 60,000,000 barrels of oil, which added about $65,000,000 in profits. At the present rate oil is now being produced, over 85,000,000 barrels will be brought forth this year, and the demand for it still increases. Company. The company is composed of a set of competent, well-seasoned, level-headed business set of persons, whose many and varied experiences in the activities of the business world bespeak success for the company from the start. You need have no misgivings about the manner in which your interests will be cared for by them. Big profits are in store for any concern that enters into the oil industry with that business acumen that characterizes the success of any project, and it is the policy of the people behind this company to always work for its best interests as a whole It is, indeed, fortunate that there is at the head of this company a man who has given so much of his time, attention and study to the oil industry from many standpoints and who is, therefore, eminently fitted in every respect to successfully guide its operations and activities. Because of the position he has so successfully held as an employee in the fuel department of the navy for many years, his duties have been such that he has acquired such additional, first-hand information from that source that but few, if any, gentlemen of color, enjoy, and he comes to this company to give it the benefit of his experience in that respect. Purchase of Stock. The books of the company are now open for the sale of stock; and, as should be previously noted herein, only a limited amount of the stock will, at present, be offered to the public, so it will be necessary for any one desiring any of it to make that fact known without delay.

But the more intelligent colored American continue to improve his condition. Our two colored theaters are conducted and managed by colored Americans. These theaters are finely managed and the plays that are presented are high-class. Last week at the Howard Theater was a scene that will be memorable to the theatergoers of Washington. The entire week was a display of everything that any other nationality displays. For any one to have visited this city and witnessed the fine display of gowns, jewelry and the play, The Bee is confident that he would have said, is it possible that a race so much ostracised, condemned and ridiculed, could make such a showing. Why! no bouquet of varied roses, including Mr. "Kramer's "Rose Beatrice", could have surprised the crowd that filled this theater the entire week. Just one week prior to this, the Majestic presented the most famous singers in the world, who were witnessed by Washington's most select society. If James K. Vardaman could have attended these theaters or any other enemy of the colored race, a different opinion would be expressed of this class of American citizens. Our enemies are ever ready to expose and hold to public scorn and ridicule the faults of colored Americans, but they seldom tell of the many good and noble qualities that they possess. To have witnessed the crowds at both of these play houses on the occasions mentioned, give us encouragement and would have convinced any one that the colored American race is coming. Both managers of these, play houses deserve the highest commendation and should be loyally supported by the people, because they are instrumental in placing their people upon equal terms among themselves where they are permitted to enjoy equality of citizenship among themselves and keep them from being contaminated with those who arrogate superiority over them only in mind and thought, but nothing more. THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY. The Democratic party never was known to keep its pledges or stand up to its platform. In many instances both the Democratic and Republican parties are similar, with but one exception. Republican National Conventions generally avoid placing in the platform any plank that home rule will be strictly followed. Democratic platforms are never without the home rrtle plank, and at no time have any of its platforms been followed. The District of Columbia is never governed by a bona fide resident. Outsiders are always appointed to District offices, and rule them with an iron hand. In all Presidential elections both the Republican and Democratic parties are appealed to for help, with the hope and understanding that the party workers will be rewarded. It is time, that National Committeeman Chapin Brown succeeded in naming Captain James F. Oyster one of the District Commissioners, but Mr. Wilson refused to rename him after refused to confirm him and Mr. Rudolph. No two better men could have been selected. No two men would have given greater satisfaction. If the citizens of this city were given the elective franchise today, no man would stand higher in the eyes of the voters than Captain Oyster among all classes of citizens. Although a Democrat, he believes in and has always argued fair play to every citizen; regardless of color or condition. There are other Democrats in this city equally as good. Comimisoners Siddons and Newman, since they have been in office have been fair and just toward colored citizens. What The Bee wants to see is a few colored men appointed on the police force. THE TOLL EXEMPTION. Speaker Champ Clark, of the Democratic side of the House of Representatives, and leader Mann and others who opposed the request of President Wilson to repeal the toll exemption law, voiced the sentiment of the American people. Why should the country yield to Great Britain in the demand to repeal the toll exemption law? How important it is, at this time, to have a Roosevelt in the White House. The Mexican question would have been settled one way or another and Great Britain would have been given a lesson in high-class diplomacy or something else. Speaker Champ Clark not only voiced the sentiment of the higher class Democrats of his party but that of the thinking and patriotic class of American citizens. Has this republic relinquished to the British Lion that which caused the American people so much life and blood? Have we surrendered unto Great Britain American manhood rights? In this appeal exemption law, it looks like Congress is controlled by a class of young hotheaded statesmen, who are controlled by the blendishment of official favors. The failure to support the President, means, to an extent, the surrender of your share of official patronage. If Speaker Clark was as firm and as patriotic on the Negro question as he is honest and sincere in opposing the President on the toll exemption law, nothing could defeat him for the Presidency in 1916. What the colored Americans want in this country is equality of citizenship and protection in his civil and political rights. WHERE IS F. J. M.? Does the entente cordiale still exist between the editor of the Guardian and "F. H. M. M."? It is learned that William D. Johnson, of Winchester, Massachusetts, a pillar of the National Independent Political League, and whose cut frequently appeared in the columns of the Guardian, subscribed "race loyal," is suing the Guardian editor for some fifteen hundred dollars. Brother Trotter seems to be so temperamentally set up that he doesn't live long in the hands of unity with any of the brethren. In tuna Dullois, Morgan, Bonner, Grimke, Hershaw, Granville Martin, J. R. Clifford and Johnson, of Winchester, have become Ichabod. Has "F. H. M. M." gone the way of all the others? E. Z ADJUSTABLES Perhaps one of the greatest inventions of the age is the E. Z. Adjustable Sides which are on exhibition at 1815 Fifteenth Street Northwest. The inventor is Mr. S. Bottuse, formerly of Louisiana. This gentleman offers great inducements to young men, and to fathers and mothers who have sons, and are unable to secure employment. The adjustable sides are the most convenient articles in the market today, and indeed, they will reduce the cost of living. The Bee suggests to its readers and colored citizens, to visit the residence of Mr. Bottuse and inspect this wonderful invention. A look in will give satisfaction to the most critical eye. DUBOIS The West Virginia Advocate published an editorial last week defending the position of Dr. DuBois. There is one thing certain, Dr. DuBois got more from advertisement than he would have been able to pay for. When Dr. DuBois wrote that editorial denouncing the Negro press he was angry. Personally The Bee admires Dr. DuBois. EDITOR OF THE SUN. Our contemporary, Editor Finly, of the Sun, called on The Bee Tuesday. He exercised better sense and good judgment than all Negro editors who have ever attempted to establish a paper in this city. The Bee has no reason not to welcome its contemporary. As a rule every paper that has ever been started in this city has always declared that it came to fill a long felt want. The longest that ever existed was the Colored American, with its varied capital behind it and national support. It could not go along without attacking The Bee. Now let The Sun continue to rise and shine upon The Bee while it makes honey. NOT THE AUTHOR. Elsewhere in The Bee this week is a letter from Mr. Ralph W. Tyler, denying that he is the author of the Sage, which was written in dialect. It is true Mr. Tyler had nothing to do with the dialect Sage, directly or indirectly. MR. R. W. THOMPSON. The prophecy of The Bee is, about this time, look out for a denial that Mr. R. W. Thompson is the principal writer on The Sun. FRIENDLESS GIRLS. Help the home for Friendless Girls. Let everybody be tagged. Now is the time to show your patriotism. JUDGE TERRELL Corrects the Bee—Glad to Know That Post's Article Was Wrong. My Dear Mr. Chase. Editor of The Bee: I beg to thank you for the editorial in the issue of your paper of last week relative to the action of the Judiciary Committee and its favorable report of my name to the Senate. I have to call attention, however, to an error in the editorial with regard to the attitude of Senator Root on the subject. You make it appear that the Senior Senator from New York was opposed to my confirmation. On the other hand, he is a stalwart champion of my cause, and it was his minority report that was finally adopted by the committee as a whole and which sent my name out of the committee to the full Senate with a favorable recommendation. I hope this correction will appear in the current issue of your paper. Very truly yours. ROBERT H. TERRELL. Better Shut Up (The Advocate, W. Va.), March 19, 1914. The Advocate holds no brief for The Crisis, still it can not refrain from calling the attention of those editors, who are resenting a statement which appeared in that magazine, to the fact that much of their argument is illogical in the extreme. The Crisis stated that a very limited number of Negro newspapers have any principle, and but few of their editors know how to use the King's English. Dr. DuBois' statement can not be disproved by argumentum ad hominem—argument against the man. No paper proves that it has principle, though the editor might show that he knows how to use the King's English, by saying Dr. DuBois has no principle because he ran away from Atlanta under fire, or refused to register and vote while he lived there. Nor will the trained mind be convinced of the falsity of the statement by the counter charge that the editor of The Crisis worked for the Democratic party for pay, or that his salary comes from contributions made to support the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Our indignant contemporaries would appear in a better light if, feeling themselves 'maligned, they would either keep their months shut, or else speak to the question at issue. There is danger of their protesting o'er much, which would create the suspicion that may be the -doctor was right, after all. ATHLETIC NOTES. (By Edwin B. Henderson.) The Keystone Athletic Club of this city has upset all precedents by defeating two of the strongest club teams. The Commercial quint lost by the score of 18 to 11, while the Cardinal team met a 15 to 11 defeat. Consistent practice and "sticktoitiveness" has brought this club steadily to the front and presages strength for next year. The Union Athletic League closed its basket ball season last Saturday night, but a few postponed games will be played yet to give a clear title to a winner. The chief aim of the organization was to provide a place of play and uniform conditions for the various school and club teams, and this has been accomplished. The High School baseball season will begin after the Easter vacation. Coach Henry Murray has charge of the Armstrong Manual Training School team. Coach Willis Menard has charge of M Street High School and Coach Samuel E. Compton is in charge of Commercial. It is gratifying to those interested in the preservation of the health of the race to find such ample provision planned in the new M Street High School for physical development. Two gymnasiums, a drill hall and a swimming pool are planned. All are spacious and will contain improved, up-to-date equipment. This building, added to the present gymnasiums at the Y. M. C. A., St. Sylian's Church, the new Normal School and Armstrong Manual Training School, will cover the field fairly well. Majestic. Mr. Charles Berry is making successful hits. He is a success in any character he may be assigned. Miss Louise Broughton, who plays lady of quality as well as maid, is not only a good singer, but a good all-around character. Public Men Ard Things Public Men Ard Things (By the Sage of the Potomac.) By the Sage of the Potomac. By the Sage of the Potomac. I been watching the eastern horizon to catch a glimpse of that there Sun what R. Windy said Finley Wilson was goin' to do the John Jasper stunt, make "move." John Jasper said "the sun do move," R. Windy and Finley Wilson said "the sun will rise." Just as we go to press we seed a messenger boy announcin' of its risin', though I ain't seed it yet. I've knowd Finley for a number of years, and I ain't never caught him yet with the price of editing a newspaper. Course there is room here for another paper, everybody knows that. Chase always makes room for 'en so he can have the pleasure of being in at their wind up. I know when Ed Cooper (poor Ed, he was a good meaning fellow. I don't care what you say) electrified Washington with his colored American. We use to sit around, and Dick Thompson was in the bunch, figurin' on the day when Chase's personal organ would hit the down-and-out class. We just use to pump h—I into him every week. All of a sudden, the American vanished into thin air, and Willum Calvin kept on doing business. Little Oliver Randolph and Ocie Taylor got it into their noodle that they were called to edit a paper and put old man Chase's son on the blinker. Oliver hooked up with R. Windy, or rather R. Windy hooked up with him, and then they found an "angel" over in the Court House to hand them out a lot of advice, and they sailed in to wind up Calvin's ball of yarn. Every time I think of that "race again' death" combination always recall that line in Casibiana what tuns somethin' like this: "The boy, Oh where was he: Ask the winds," etc. Now, the Randolph-Taylor, Thompson et al. American is sleeping side by side, in peace and imagination with the Colored American. Then there was another little sheet which the National Beneficial Association gave some /support, which went down under the heavy charge of R. Windy's contributions. Washington is just one big morgue of dead anthracite weeklies, and still Willum Calvin is here to herald the story of their birth and demise. Take it from me, when Finley Wilson's Sun rises and stays risin' for four consecutive weeks, they will be publishin' a daily over in Alexander what will make the Star and the Post look like a roll of toilet paper. There ain't no Federal league goin' to sign the Sage up. He's just goin' to stick to the organization, and I'm tellin' R. Windy he'd better come in out of the cold and make peace with Big Bill if he wants this 127,000 bunch of anthracites in this town to see wha. he is writin' each week Joshua made the sun stand still, and Big Bill will make Finley's Sun stand still, take it from me. I'm goin' to drop a line of advice to some of these young fellers what's teaching school, and think they are h. o. t. w. p. (hell on the war path) 'cause they are college graduates. There's just naturally too many high school boys smokin' coffin nails, then there Turkish cigarettes, but they get the example set for them every day by some of these young fellows what teaches them who are always promending the streets with a coffin nail in their own mouth. Now, I ain't so particular that I'd deny these young squeezes prints the rare pleasure of staining their fingers with a Mogul or some other brand, but my advice is to smoke these death warrants at their homes, where these young grammar school and high school boys don't see 'en. And I'm goin' to band them another bit of free advice—just stop makin' googooo eyes at these young high school girls. I know some of them are peaches and cream—look like ripe 'tomattoes, and all of that, but it's best to waite till they get that there diploma before you commence to give them the soft talk, and the "oh-you-peach" smile. I know one parent who not long ago went out and got his tenderfoot daughter what was just catin' up all the soft talk one of these young fellers was givin' her, and yanked her home, and what he said to that young squeeze print wouldn't look good in the Dicciplin of the Methodist Church. Now this ain't no four-time talk, 'cause I was there and saw it myself—with these two long-sight eyes of mine. While handin' out this advice talk, which you can have free by cuttin' out a coupon and sendin' it in with five cents for The Bee. I want to mention our barber shops. Now there ain't no smotherin' up the fact that anthracite barber shops in this town is gettin' down in the suspicioned class—that is, service is just a suspicion. I gets shaved three times every week, but I am gettin' awful tired of puttin' up ten cents for a "nice, clean, eazy shave," and then five cents extra for the tonsoralist who cleans me, and then get some water' slapped on my face what's labeled 'wichhazel,' a suspicion of face powder, or taleum powder what costs ten cents for a gross, and just get a chance to look at the sign for some face cream what really ought to be there in jars to go on my face. Course, I know there are some barbers who say Ham don't want all this, but you are gettin' it straight from me that Ham wants everything for his dime 'that they are givin' to the white fellow down, there on the avenue for the same number of pennies. I suggest that, the owners of barber shops call a meeting and legislate some new rules about handling anthracite customers, and if you come across with the right thing I'll bet you Martin's experience in the cate business against one of Simon Peter's schemes to raise money that your trade will double inside of thirty days. A whole lot of fellows' been drove to shavin' their own ugly phiz just because they don't get a dime's worth of attention in an anthracite shop. Git the hook! I met Tom Beckett the other day, and he handed me out a line of talk for which he's noted. And Tom also went down in his jeans and extracted a 'roll of bills big enough to fill some well developed lady's stockin', and insisted on me taking a couple of Haig & Haig. Course I wouldn't offend Tom for the world, so I elbowed it with him up to Aaron Gaskin's counter and just "smiled" with him. Don't you know Tom Beckett is a wonder? You can never run into him but what he has a job lot of legal tender about his jeans, sufficient to make Frisbie work his wireless telegraphy instruments, or start Tom Jones to making a fresh and accurate count of his Sunday's receipts. Tom just goes right along, quietly picks up his, and don't tell no one where he's got his treasures buried. Nice work, pretty work, old fellow. Any time you feel that you must have some one to introduce you, to old Haig & Haig again, why you know where I hang out—just phone me. P. S.—That investigation Bruce Evans asked for had not started at the time I handed this dope in to Bill Chase. The investigation would turn out like the execution of Mordecai and Haymen. Do you catch on? $15,000 Campaign Celebration. Rev, Simon P. W. Drew, pastor of the Cosmopolitan Baptist Church, has arranged for a $15,000 campaign to raise funds for his church.

THE MAJESTIC THEATER Mrs. Lillian Brown, Female Leader of the Majestic Stock Company, Authoress and Composer, Presents a New Play Queen of the Stage—Billy Demont Makes a Hit—The Kingdom Enthusiastically Greeted. The past two weeks and the present week have given a new impetus to the Majestic Theater. Manager Frank Brown has out-generalled himself in his efforts to please his patrons. Last week Mrs. Brown presented a new play of the underworld. It was a plot that demonstrated Chinese dens, where young girls are enticed and ruined. It was a moral that all lovers of good morals should have seen. The original, catchy songs rendered by Mrs. Brown were beautifully rendered. This week Mrs. Brown assumes the character of Madame Sinclair. It is a farce on "The Kingdom" that has drawn the attention of the social circle in this city for several years. It is an expose of sham society or the kingdom, in which a prominent exgovernment official is pictured as the leading social light. Mrs. Sinclair and her daughter get into a dispute over certain invited guests, among whom is this prominent official. The daughter, a very beautiful and accomplished young lady, has no color prejudice, but Mrs. Sinclair has. She and her daughter have fallen out because the daughter is told not to send an invitation to the dark official because he is an ex-knave. Editor Chase represents The Bee in "The Kingdom" and he and the ex-government official inaugurate a plot to have a coal shoveler enter the kingdom in disguise, which he does, and when a demand is made for everybody to unmask the coal man, whose name is Morse, exacts a kiss from every good looking female guest before he will declare his identified. When he does, the guests become horrified because this jet black man is among them. He threatens to expose them and publish their escapades in The Washington Bee if he is not permitted to remain in the kingdom. Not desiring to be exposed to society, he is permitted to remain. He exacts further that he be made king of the kingdom, which is acceded to. It is one of the most laughable fares upon the stage. The two maids are very clever; also is the great skit laid by Frank Brown, who assumes the character of a prominent and high member of the kingdom. Miss Darnell and. Miss Wilson take the character of Mrs. Sinclair's daughters. Billie DeMont and Mr. Morris are among the leading characters. Those who have not seen "The Kingdom" should do so before the week is out. So great has been the demand to continue it a week, it will be reproduced in the near future. Mrs. Brown may do so: In connection with this farce Miss Clarice Wright, of New York, and Miss Lorgie Lazzo, of the same city, are doing some good work. Miss Wright is not only a beautiful and stylish dancer, but she is a sweet singer and actress. She has a most beautiful carriage upon the stage. Miss Lazzo is young and beautiful. Hef singing is operatic. Greer and Dugh are also quite clever. The choruses of "The Kingdom" is under the direction of Mrs. Lillian Brown and Billie De Mont, who wrote the lyrics and music. Don't fail to see "The Kingdom." A Mass Meeting. All citizens are cordially invited to attend a mass meeting at the Mt. Carmel Baptist Church, corner Third and Eye Streets Northwest. Washington. D.

WASHINGTON, D.C. PLANNING TO SAVE NATION'S BABIES Expert Says We Do Not Know How to Raise Children. EXPECTS TO HELP 100,000. Mrs. Anna Steese Richardson Asserts That Schools and Colleges Teach Everything but the Mechanism of the Little Body—Congress of Mothers Starts Campaign. Philadelphia, Pa.—Mrs. Anna Steese Richardson, who has attained nation wide fame through the successful conducting of "better baby" contests throughout the country, expressed the opinion here that the women of this country are being trained to do everything except raise babies. "Girls in the high schools and in private schools may be taught to ew a little, to cook a little and may know something of biology, but when these same girls become mothers they only know that the baby they are so proud A. MRS. ANNA STEESE RICHARDSON. of is something sweet, cuddling and adorable," said Mrs. Richardson. "They know nothing whatever of the mechanism of the little body, how it should be fed, nor how it should be clothed. "This is not only true of the mother of the slums, but of that great army of mothers that belong to the middle class, who would give their very lives for their babies when they realize they are the victims of ignorance. "The great mistake of the baby saving campaigns in the larger cities is that they have been conducted for the poor mother. To interest the mother in the all around development of the child is one way to stem wastefulness idleness and degeneration." Mrs. Richardson, who is chairman of the hygiene committee of the National Congress of Mothers, also said she did not think it possible for public school teachers to give instruction properly in sex hygiene. Plans were outlined whereby it is hoped to save at least 100,000 babies under the age of two years during the coming year through the co-operation of all the branches of the Congress of Mothers. This will take the form of better baby contests, under the auspices of the organization, and the distribution of pamphlets and bulletins. TO GET SCHRANK'S WEAPON. Roosevelt Will Receive Revolver With He Was Wounded. Milwaukee.-Theodore Roosevelt will come into possession of the revolver used by John Schrank in his attempt upon the expresident's life in Milwaukee two years ago. Judge A. C. Backus of the municipal court has entrusted the weapon to E. E. Martin, one of the stenographers who accompanied Colonel Roosevelt at the time of the attack. Mr. Martin jumped upon the assault after the first bullet had been fired at the expresident. He will take the weapon to Oyster Bay and present it to Mr. Roosevelt upon the latter's return from the South American trip. The revolver still contains the six shells placed in the chamber by Schrank. Only one was discharged. HOPE FOR JESSE POMEROY After Thirty-eight Years He May B. Taken Out of Solitary Confinement. Boston.-Hope is dawning on the horizon of Jesse Pomeroy, boy murderer of other children, after thirty-eight years of solitary confinement. Pomeroy is not to be freed, but through the kindly interest of Frank L. Randall, who came from St. Cloud Minn., last year to be commissioner of prisons, the most widely known of all American life prisoners probably will be taken out of solitary confinement soon and placed where he can have the companionship of his fellows. Deaf Mute Wins Cambridge M. A. London.-Cambridge university has just conferred the degree of master of arts on Armand Mackenzie, the first deaf and dumb man who ever won the master's hood in a British university. Mackenzie, who was born deaf and dumb, paid the university of his scanty wife. STARVING, HE HAD $10,050. Aged Man Accepts Charity and Loses His Wallet. New York.—James A. Farvin, assistant station master at the Pennsylvania station, has lost his faith in human nature. He helped a supposedly starving man and then found him possessed of thousands of dollars. The man was evidently exhausted and about to collapse. "I've not had a bite to eat in two days," he murmured. Having helped the old man to a seat. Mr. Farvin rushed a porter away for hot coffee and sandwiches. The old man ate ravenously and wept as he told his story. The old man said his name was Uriah Lane and on foot he had dragged himself all the way from up state in an effort to reach his son, whom he had not seen since they parted at Sag Harbor after a quarrel twenty years ago. The 4:15 train for Sag Harbor was nearly due. Deeply affected, Mr. Favrin tried to cheer the old man up, paid his fare, $3.04, to Sag Harbor and gave him the change from a five dollar bill. Just afterward Mr. Favrin caught sight of a wallet lying under the chair on which the aged man had sat. Opening it, he found the name Uriah Lane on the tap. Inside were eight $1,000 bills, crisp and clean; twenty $100 and ten $5 bills, $10,050 in all. When Mr. Favrin overtook the old man he demanded to be repaid for the sum already advanced. After much argument the old man did so. WOULD MAKE SOLDIERS WORK Congressman Would Also Put Sailors at Manual Labor. Washington.—Warren W. Bailey of Pennsylvania introduced in the house a bill directing the president to "put the officers and enlisted men of the army and navy to work." The president is directed to employ the officers and men in the construction of the Alaska railway, the reclamation of swamp lands, construction of Mississippi river levees, river and harbor improvements, and is forbidden to hire manual labor outside of the services until the supply from within them is exhausted. Mr. Bailey issued a statement in which he said: "If we must have a huge standing army and a big navy—and all the jingoes agree that we must in the interests of the world's peace—then let's put them to work." Daniels' Suggestion to Be Carried Out by Captain Fullam. Annapolis, Md.—Captain William F. Fullam, superintendent of the Naval academy, has taken up the suggestion of the secretary of the navy that the midshipmen of the first class engage in debates on current subjects to improve their acquaintance with the news of the day and to increase their ability to think and talk on their feet. He has had several consultations with members of the department of English and other instructors and officers and will endeavor to fit something along this line into the already rather crowded curriculum of the first class. The need for special training of the midshipmen along the lines of writing and speaking on the topics of the day has been recognized, and much has been done to further it. The practice of having the first class men respond to toasts was started more than a year ago by Captain Gibbons, then superintendent, and is carried on with much success. A period of an hour and a half or two hours is devoted to this every week, one midshipman acting as toastmaster, others responding to, set toasts or making extemporaneous remarks on each occasion. In this way each member of the graduating class has the opportunity of speaking several times during the year. Members of the English department are always present as critics. WHISTLE HYMNS IN CHURCH Boy Chorus of Fifty Helps to "Humanize" Service. Philadelphia.—A chorus of fifty boys, after considerable training with no small amount of patience, whistled the hymn times in the services of the Calvary Reformed church here. The girls carried the hymn with their soprano voices, and the effect is said to have been rather startling. Another innovation in the movement for "humanizing" such services was the "all girl" service in the same church preceding the whistling. Philadelphia.—For the twelfth time within a year William Symonds, thirty years old, a driver, applied for treatment at a hospital suffering from a dislocated shoulder blade. Since the first injury the bone has dropped from its socket every time the victim gives his arm a slight wrench. Boasts He Is Tallest Man. Memphis, Tenn.—J. G. Tarver, twenty-eight years old, who is seven feet four inches tall and weighs 307 pound claims he is the tallest man in the United States. He was born in Dallas, Tex. His father was not unusually tall, and none of his four brothers is quite six feet tall.

Chicago. - Marriage ceremonies for which no fee will be accepted is one of the innovations which will be inaugurated at Trinity Episcopal church in case a fund of $10,000 a year can be raised to make possible the extension of the church's activities. "We wish to make historic Trinity something like the Little Church around the Corner in New York," declared Andrew R. Sheriff, chairman of the campaign committee. "It is proposed to have a clergyman in attendance at all hours of the day and night to offer spiritual consolation, perform baptisms and marriage ceremonies and attend to the physical needs of the poor. An after midnight service on Sunday mornings for actors, newspaper people and those detained downtown late is also probable, while the social center work of the church will be greatly extended." At one time Trinity church had eighteen multimillionaires as members of its congregation. Many of the wealthy members have moved away, making the task of maintaining the church a serious problem. "SABLES" OF RABBIT SKINS.

STRAIGHTEN YOUR OWN HAIR Most women realize that beauty is largely a matter of beautiful hair and now that science has placed within the reach of all, an instrument that is a deadly weapon to all scalp diseases, any woman may easily and quickly gain a head of beautiful hair by using this wonderful hair dryer and cultivator comb. This great invention is scientifically manufactured of highly magnetized steel, and never fail to cleanse the scalp of all unnatural matter and impurities. The use of the comb, besides ridding the scalp of dandruff and dirt, destroys the germs that cause all the trouble. It promotes the circulation of blood on the scalp. It cultivates the roots and produces a new growth of long, luxurious, soft and glossy hair. MORE.—Adam G. A. Cerutt, the world's renowned Hair Culturist, Demonstrator and Authority on Human Hair, was awarded the Bronze Medal at the Jamestown Exposition, 1907, for skill in hair work. Madame G. A.

While Mr. Elwell considered the request a joke, he finally sent the pouches. Railway mall clerks declared that they had been receiving small shipments of the pelts for several weeks. The latest shipment is said to have been made by a Mr. Oppenheimer, a buyer. The parcel post rules provide dried pelts may be sent through the malls. BE A SPINSTER AND LIVE LONG, HE SAYS Life Insurance Man Gives Statistics on Death Rate. ' New York.—The spinster lives longer than the married woman. The business woman lives longer than the business man. The woman who takes out an endowment insurance policy lives longer than the woman who takes out a straight life policy. These facts—and Arthur Hunter, actuary of a leading company, said they were facts—were gathered last year by experts in the employ of the forty-three leading companies in this country. Mr. Hunter didn't explain why the unmarried woman survives the matron nor why the business woman outlives the business man, but he revealed why the woman who takes unto herself an endowment policy lasts longer than the woman who has to die to win. "The endowment woman just gets up her spirit and determines to live until the policy matures," he said. "The other woman sighs, 'Oh, what's the neck and aunts off.'" 6 Department of Literary Training 7. Department of Industries. 8 Extension Home Classes.

Box19, Station J, New York City Mr. Hunter said there were more fatal accidents in this country than elsewhere because of the American "I'll take a chance" spirit. The American, he said, takes all sorts of risks to save time and inconvenience. The foreigner doesn't do that at home, but when he comes here he becomes infected. "The mortality rate among engineers and firemen is eight times that of men in other callings," he said, "and among policemen about 40 per cent higher. With policemen it is on the increase." Mr. Hunter said that the business woman kept herself going by a determination to fight it out. She had something tangible, something to live for, whereas the business man takes his work as a matter of course and is apathetic. "JAG" CURE COSTS $10,000. Minnesota Experimental Farm Saves Thirsty pine Patients In a Year.

Luke 14:17-23—April 5. "Berry on that gratitude himself shall be humbled; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted."—b. 11 TODAY'S lesson shows the Master as a guest of a prominent Pharisee, and speaking in a manner inappropriate to any but Himself. In a parable He criticised the gathering guests because they selfishly chose the chief seats of honor. He would have them see that this selfish spirit had to do with their character-building and their fitness or unfitness for the Kingdom. When hidden to a function, they should humbly take inconspicuous places, not knowing how many might be more worthy than they in the estimation of the host. Then, if the host so desired, he might ask them forward to a more prominent seat. Thus they would be honored; whereas, in taking a prominent place uninvited, they ran the risk of displeasing Jesus reproaching soli- Anhnes. places, not knowing how many might be more worthy than they in the estimation of the host. Then, if the host so desired, he might ask them forward to a more prominent seat. Thus they would be honored; whereas, in taking a prominent place uninvited, they ran the risk of displeasing the host. The Master declared that this principle held with the Heavenly Father; namely, "Whosoever exalteth himself shall be humbled; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted." The thought is that the self-seeking, the proud in spirit, could not be trusted by the Lord in a high position. With such a spirit they might do damage to themselves and to His Cause. But those of humble mind would not be injured by exaltation nor be in danger of defecting in the future work of the Kingdom. Turning to His host, Jesus complimented him somewhat, saying, "When thou makest a feast, call * * * the poor, the malmed, the lame, the blind; and thou shalt be blessed; for thou shalt be recompensed in the resurrection of the fust." The Pharisee had done something of the very kind in inviting Jesus and probably His disciples to dinner. He well knew that they could not ask him in return. The Master's words set forth a grand principle, which should be recognized by rich and poor allie. Let us follow the Master's, Instruction, and seek to do kindnesses to those who cannot return the favor, assured that God will appreciate such acts and will give proper reward. God's Great Feast. A guest, hearing Jesus' comments, remarked that it would be a blessed thing to share in the great feast which will inaugurate the Kingdom of God. Thereupon Jesus preached another parable-sermon in respect to the Kingdom. A man made a great supper and bade many guests. When the time arrived, he sent servants to inform them that all was ready. But with one accord they began to make excuse. When the servants returned and told their experience, the master was provoked and said, Go quickly into the streets and the lanes, and bring in the poor, the malmed, the blind and the lame. The meaning of the parable is apparent. Long years before, God had sent word to Israel that in due time a great blessing would be open to them—the privilege of membership in Messiah's Kingdom. Yet, when the time came, those who had been bidden were careless. Jesus and His disciples had been declaring for some time that the Kingdom of Heaven was at hand. But those invited were full, covetous, money lovers. When they heard the Message of the Kingdom, they slighted God's invitation, extended them through Jesus and the Apostles. The great feast represented rich blessings of God's providence for the Church—knowledge of the Truth, ins- tification from sin, begetting of the Holy Spirit, the privilege of appropriating the rich promises of God's Word. First the Pharisees, representatives of Moses, and secondly the outcasts of Israel, were infiltred. Some of these came; but not enough were "Israelites in- begetting of the Holy Spirit, the privilege of appropriating the rich promises of God's Word. First the Pharisees, representatives of Moses, and secondly the outcasts of Israel, were invited. Some of these came; but not enough were "Israelites indeed," to fill the foreordained number of the Church. Then the Master sent out His servants the third time, saying, that they should go outside the city and urge people to come in, that His House might be filled. This applies, evidently, to the sending of the Gospel to the Gentiles. For eighteen hundred years the Message has gone up and down through the highways and hedges, calling such as have hearing ears and responsive hearts—a Little Flock. Ultimately the full number purposed by the great Householder will have been found worthy through Christ to share in that feast, given in honor of the marriage of the Lamb. (Revelation 10:7-9.) At that feast, we are told, will be a second company, not worthy to be of the Bride class. These may figuratively be styled the bridesmaids, the Great Company; for after the gathering of the Bride class we have the Lord's Message to those subsequently delivered from Babylon, saying, "Blessed are they that are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb!"

He now has a machine which he has been experimenting with at Mineola, keeping his hand in the game until he can fulfill his desire to carry an American flag across the Atlantic in an aeroplane. And Raygorodsky says he will carry an American flag, as he came to this country following an edict of the Russian government that he could not fly in that country because he is a Jew. GIRLS' COLLEGES AID RACE DEGENERACY Professor-Johnson Says He Can Prove This by Statistics. Washington.That women's colleges, from the viewpoint of eugenics, contribute toward the degeneracy of the race and ought to be abolished is the conclusion of Dr. Roswell H. Johnson, professor of biology in the University of Pittsburgh, after a careful investigation. His figures show that women's colleges discourage girls from marrying. Professor Johnson believes the time is coming when all women's colleges must be converted into coeducational institutions, and he suggests that for the present the anti-eugenic influence of the colleges might be mitigated through the substitution of men and women for teachers. Professor Johnson sets forth the results of his investigation in the current issue of the Journal of Heredity, the official organ of the American Genetic association. He has collected data in regard to Wellesley college which are significant. Professor Johnson says: "Taking the Wellesley graduates of the classes of 1905 to 1912 inclusive, it was found that 19.1 per cent of them were already married. In the fall of 1912, when the facts were collected. But for those whose scholarship was sufficiently high to entitle them to membership in the honor society, Phil Beta Kappa, the ratio of marriage to that of those who did not make this society was at 15 to 10. In other words, high scholarship in college women is. In this case at least, not found to be an aid to marriage, while with the normal schoolgirl the opposite is the case. "In this same tabulation it was found that the alumnae of Wellesley college who were members of the 1th Beta Kappa had an average of .085 of a child each, while the rate for the girls who had not retained the same distinction in scholarship was .085. "The ominousness of this declining marriage rate is aggravated by the low birth rate. Only the earliest classes, with one or two exceptions, have enough children to reproduce the class." REPENTS HIS HORSE THEFT. Religiously Influenced, is Trying to Repay the Loser. Williston, N. D.-J. J. Mayer, who five years ago hired a horse from Boyd Bros. of this city, falling to return with it, has been converted and wants to settle. In a letter from Kellogg, Ida., to Sheriff Olson, Mayer explains the circumstances surrounding his theft. Mayer engaged the horse, riding eight or ten miles west of Williston, where he traded it for another animal, continuing westward. Now Mayer believes the horse was found by its right owners and seeks to settle with the injured third person. But it so happens that Boyd Bros. never found their horse, and they submitted to Mayer a proposition of settlement. SPEAKING ABOUT HOGS. Ohio Editor Grows Earnest In His War on Cholera. Washington.-Representative White of Ohio is showing his friends in the house just how the hog cholera lobby is working here. Mr. White has a constituent in Ohio, an editor, who stands close to him in many ways. To this editor came A. P. Sandles, most ardent exponent of the projected law, with the plea that he "get George busy for the hog cholera bill." Here is a part of the letter which the congressman received from the editor: I had a sort of idea that the white plague was about the worst thing we had to contend with in this country, but no, a thousand times no! For frightful destruction and stupendous havoc and gigantic loss-of money—the hog cholera has the white plague backed up in the corner yelling for ice water. I firmly believe this because "Put" says so. So I wish to add my urgent insist that you fly to the protection of the innocent hog instanter. It a few odd thousand children should die during your errand of mercy to the hog that is one of the exigencies that cannot well be avoided, because there are plenty more where they came from. Not so with the hogs. They are bringing from 9½ to 10¾ cents in Pittsburgh today, and the visible supply is limited. THESE CHICKENS ARE VAMPS. Survived a Fire and Wouldn't Leave Shells Till Bell Rang. Tarrytown, N. X.-Fire destroyed the North Tarrytown fire house. Water played on the blaze flooded the house of Charles Minnerly next door, and a box with a sitting hen and fifteen eggs floated around the cellar. The hen, however, stuck to the post while the flames, crackled around her. When the eggs were due to hatch no chicks appeared. Minnerly spoke to some of his friends, and they told him they were fire chickens and if he wanted to hatch them he would have to sound an alarm of the bell. Then Minnerly went to the coop and rang an old dinner bell for fifteen minutes. To his surprise the eggs began to open, and in less than an hour every one of them hatched. The chicks would not stay with the mother as long as Minnerly rang the bell. He solved the problem by tying a small bell around the mother's neck. HEAVY SNOWS TO BRING BIG CROPS Soil In Fine Shape as Result of White Blankets. Washington. For a number of years the country at large has not enjoyed such general snows as whitened the countryside during February and March of the present year. Also it has been the occasional catastrophe that one great heavy snow has fallen late in the season to be followed by a quick thaw and consequent floods. Now the soil sharps, seeing that conditions are more nearly ideal this season than for a number of springs, are encouraged to believe that 1914 is destined to be a year of bumper crops. Dr. J. A. Honesteel of the bureau of soils is quoted: "Since the snow blanket took its time in departing we will have a better crop start this year than for several years. To date conditions could be hardly more ideal. We had snow after snow—not too heavy, but persistent enough to keep the ground covered well and the tender shoots of the wheat in perfect condition. "This is particularly true of the eastern states generally, but at the same time conditions are far better in the middle west than is the general average. "In the corn belt, where there was a considerable depletion of the crop through too persistent drought last season, the snow will prove of incalculable benefit. The corn belt ought to have a sulendid start. "Where snow renalined a long time and there has been extensive opportunity for it to seep down into the earth, carrying its moisture from one to two feet, the soil is prepared to develop sturdy roots for the cereal crops. The plants therefore stand a better chance against possible deficiencies in the matter of rainfall during the period of their growth." WOMEN IN BUSINESS.

Aggregate Loans Estimated at $500,000, and the Average Interest 150 Per Cent, or $750,000—Law of Congress Evaded by Money Lenders Moving Across Potomac to Virginia. Washington.—Of all the shady interests which are carried on by government employees in every department the "loan shark" evil is said to be the worst. For years' department heads and bureau chiefs have failed to stamp out the class of men who carry on the business among their associates of lending small sums at excessively large rates of interest. In the office of the United States attorney for the District of Columbia are filed at the present time no less than fifty distinct charges of "loan sharking," the offenders including professional money lenders. In a preliminary statement recently given out Assistant District Attorney Given said that no less than 1,000 complaints of violation of the loan shark law have been received from persons who requested that their names be not made public. A little over a year ago congress enacted a drastic law against "loan sharking." The interest rates which had formerly ranged from 50 per cent to 300 per cent a year, were cut to 1 per cent a month. For a time it was believed that the business in Washington was dead. Then the money lenders put their heads together and several of the professionals who maintained offices in the downtown section of the city tried the first evasion of the law. It is about twelve city blocks from the western edge of the downtown district to the Virginia side of the Potomac river. Within, fifteen feet of the high-water mark on the Virginia side of the river two or three of the lenders built offices and hung out three balls. An interurban electric line gave easy access to and from the city. Signs giving notice of the change of location were displayed before their downtown Washington offices and several other shops bore signs of a change of residence to Alexandria, Va., five miles down the Potomac. Thus by co-operation among the money lenders the entire professional "loan shark" business of Washington was moved to Virginia, with the exception of the "amateur" money lenders in the government departments. This, the police found, is the thing that the district attorney's office is determined to stamp out. It is said that a negro messenger in the treasury department accumulated over $70,000, during his thirty-five years of service through loaning small sums at excessive rates of interest. One of the money lenders established between his Washington office and his office on the Virginia shore a half hour automobile livery service for clients in downtown Washington, across Potomac park and the Highway bridge into Virginia. It proved too expensive, however. Washington, filled with residents whose homes are elsewhere, has probably the most apathetic civic conscience in the world. Its population is nearly as cosmopolitan as that of Atlantic City, and there is a spirit of rivalry as to dress and "front" in the very municipal atmosphere. A man with a government position has a prestige in his home community that few other positions of employment confer. The incumbent thinks he must live up to it by aping the dress and manners of the idle rich. The messenger with a salary of $600 or $700 a year aims to dress like his superior, the clerk. He does not want the public to think he is a mere messenger. The clerk would be a division chief, and he aspires to dress the part. He goes the messenger one better by allowing himself to be drawn into the ultra atmosphere of petty social affairs in Washington, which rarely get him anywhere. The division chief likes to be mistaken for an assistant secretary. And thus the merry game goes on. HEARS LAST RITES BY PHONE Telephone Enables Dying Man to Attend Wife's Funeral. Paterson, N. J. — Ex-Judge James Inglis, confined to his bed by pneumonia, heard by telephone the funeral services conducted over the body of his wife in the parlor below. A bell-like transmitter was installed in the parlor, and wires led upstairs to the room where Judge Inglis lay. When the stev. Davis Stewart Hamilton, rector of St. Paul's Episcopal church, began the service a receiver was lifted to Judge Inglis' ear and was kept there until the last word was spoken. Operate For Old Dog Bite Operate For Old Dog Bite. New York.—Physicians have found it necessary to operate on Miss Ella F. Hobby for an infection of the left leg caused by a dog bite fourteen years ago. She has undergone twelve operations. It is believed the last will cure her, as two inches of the diseased bone were removed. GIRL SECRETARY AIDS GOV. WEST Delivers Message From Governor to Violators of the Law and Is Always Treated With Respect—Pays No Attention to Threats Against Her, and They Are Never Executed. Portland, Ore.—The cares of office, an exacting one, too, lie lightly on the shoulders of probably the only woman private secretary to a governor of any state in America. Miss Fern Hobbs has won fame and honor as the "right hand woman" of Governor Oswald West, Oregon's unusual Democratic executive. Witness her trip to the rough mining regions, of the state, when she stood to the utmost height of her five feet three inches and read the governor's proclamation that ordered closed the saloons run by the accused Copperfield officials—and incidentally divested the same city officials of their authority. "I truly did feel rather timid when I read in a morning paper that I was to be sent to Copperfield, but it's part of my job, so I trotted right along." Outside of that Miss Hobbs refused to say any more about her trip—that is, about the "frightening" part of it, for as she laughingly replied to questions: "Why should I be afraid? I had heard that the men were a lawless element, but found many respectable people. When I arrived they were quiet, kind and considerate. "There was absolutely no noise to speak of while I read the governor's message. These men, who had vowed vengeance on Governor West and had made open brags that they would not heed my message, stood peacefully by J. Photo by American Press Association. GOVERNOR WEST OF OREGON. the track and listened to what I had to read. Some of them even shook hands with me, and a number of women carrying small children came to me with tears in their eyes and thanked me for coming to their town with law and order back of me. Yes, I will admit that I did dread it at first. What woman wouldn't? But when I got there I just got up and told them what I had come for—and it wasn't bad at all." All the pleasing prominence that her recent appointment has given her has not "turned her head," as our grand-mothers would say. She is just the same sweet, clever little girl who left Hillsboro, Ore., several years ago to accept a position as stenographer in the office of an attorney in Portland. Her father is J. A. Hobbs, who lives on a farm near Hillsboro, and her mother is—just her mother. She always studied, and she put her heart and soul into her work. When she went to Salem as a stenographer in the office of the governor she enrolled as a student in the Willamette College of Law and was graduated in the class of 1913. Several months ago, upon the resignation of Italph Watson, who was promoted from his position as private secretary to the governor to that of corporation commissioner, Miss Hobbu was appointed to succeed him. She is the only woman in the world who holds such a position.* At Copperfield Miss Hobbs stood out on the rickety little platform surrounded by an interested crowd of citizens some in rags and most of them wearing great top boots and bandana handkerchiefs tied about their necks. Greeted by a silence that at times seemed almost omnious, the little woman, who would scarcely tip the scales at 110 pounds, fearlessly warned the city officials that the town must be cleaned up at once or action would be taken by the Oregon state militia. It is said that a number of threats were made among a few, but as a general thing the governor's representative was treated with the utmost respect. However, Miss Fern Hobbs, lawyer and teacher, implicitly trusted American chivalry—and she was not disappointed. MENTAL TAINT BAR TO ALIENS Two Physicians Will Examine Each Person Coming In at All United States Ports—Humanitarian Provision Prescribes Treatment For Foreigners Who Are Ill. Washington.—The immigration bill as it emerged from the senate committee on immigration contains many new restrictive regulations in addition to the literacy test. The changes include restrictions against the admission of allens suffering from every form of mental allment and from mental deficiency in any and every degree. In the bill as it passed the house under section 3 there appeared the following language: "That the following classes of allens shall be excluded from the United States: All illots, imbeciles, feeble minded persons, epilepties, insane persons, persons who have had one or more attacks of insanity at any time previously." To this the senate added: "Persons of constitutional psychopathic inferiority, persons with chronic alcoholism." The Burnett bill as it came from the committee excludes all who are certified by the examining surgeons as "being mentally or physically defective, such mental or physical defect being of a nature which may affect the ability of such alien to earn a living." This the senate committee changed by striking out the adjective "mental." [Image of a man in profile, wearing a dark suit and a white shirt. The background is plain black. The man's hair is short and neatly styled. The image is a black-and-white portrait.] Photo by American Press Association. REPRESENTATIVE BURNETT. Capacity to earn a living is thus removed as a possible excuse for the admission of a mentally undesirable. A decided amplification of the scope and exhaustiveness of the psychiatric and psychopathic examination of incoming aliens is provided in section 16 of the bill. After setting forth the character of the training which the examining medical officers shall possess with a view to insuring thoroughness in the examination, as in the Burnett bill, the senate committee has inserted this provision: "All aliens arriving at ports of the United States shall be examined by two such medical officers," which increases the insurance of thoroughness. Under the Burnett bill this medical examination was provided for all "large ports of entry." The senate committee has stricken out the qualifying "large." The examination must be made wherever allens may enter. The senate committee while endeavoring to make the law more certain in its provision for exclusion of the undesirable has shown a humanitarian disposition along some other lines. It is provided that immigrants found to be suffering from tuberculosis in any form or any other loathsome or dangerous contagious disease other than that of a quarantinable nature must be at once deported, but the following leeway is given to the secretary of labor: "Unless the secretary of labor is satisfied that the existence of the disease could not have been detected by competent medical examination at the time of foreign debarkation and that to refuse treatment would be Inhuman or cause unusual hardship." This proviso admits the allen to hospital treatment. ADVERTISEMENTS IN 1773. George Washington Advertised 20,000 Acres of Land For Lease. Johnetta, Pa.—L. E.

The man who quickly spends his cash is apt to stay "short;" some go broke, and that's no joke; but there's facts, worth thinking over, why not know where to buy often a slightly used suit or overcoat at $3 to $10, passes a man to a better job, and we cater to the class who must save, and cash here buys good and true value.

It not only beautifies the hair—but also keeps it in good condition. Price, 25 and 50 Cents Everywhere NELSON MFG. CO., RICHMOND, VA. A. B. BOOK AND PICTURE. Jesus was a Black Man (or Negro) by blood. Webb's book and picture show it and prove it by the Bible. A picture 12x18 of Jesus with wooly hair and his holy angels at his second coming. And a book showing that Jesus was born out of the black tribe, according to Biblical history. This famous picture in colors and the Biblical book both for $1.50 postage prepaid. 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 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 before. Not only was Christ a Negro, but it seems that Solomon, who has been held up through all the ages as the personification of wisdom, had Ethiopian blood in his veins also. A new book entitled "The Black Man. Was the Father of Civilization." This book defends its title exclusively by the Bible and therefore has nothing to fear. This book is illustrated with many pictures. 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 describes the black man as the father 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 Anglo-Saxon believes him or not, Mr. Webb writes what he believes to be true about his race and their place in Biblical history.
