Washington Bee

IF IT'S NEWS, IT'S IN THE BEE, FOR THE BEE IS A NEWSPAPER. THE BEE WASHINGTON Washington's Best and Leading Negro Newspaper-That's THE BEE VOL. XXXV, NO. 4 WASHINGTON,! D. C., SATURDAY, JULY 4, 1914 RACE DISCRIMINATION Colored Printer Rejected in the City of Brotherly Love NO NEGRO NEED APPLY. Accepted and Rejected—No Discrimination in Philadelphia, Pa.-Southern Prejudice Going North-Negro Must Strike Back. The Lanston Monotype Composing Machine Company, located at Philadelphia, Pa., of which J. Maury Dove, president of the J. Maury Dove Coal Company, of Washington, D. C., is president, advertised in the printers' trade journals for capable printers to come to Philadelphia and learn the keyboard of their machine. The course, which takes six weeks, is taught free to the applicants accepted. The application blanks of the company search into exacting details of the applicant's printorial history, extending back to apprentice days and down to current date. A goodly number of references are required, and more prominent the printing firms mentioned, which can be supported by favorable replies to the Monotype Company's inquiries, more-likely the acceptance, as it is the company's idea to accept only the best, and thereby secure those who will likely develop into high-class operators, and thus advertise the capabilities of the composing machine. A well-known colored printer of this city applied to be enrolled for the keyboard course, and he having worked continuously upward of twenty-five years as a compositor and linetype operator in some of the largest and best reputed job and daily newspaper offices of the country, his application was accepted. So well pleased was the company with his references that when it was inconvenient for him to show up at Philadelphia on the first date assigned, he was advised that a place would be made for him whenever it was convenient for him to come. The applicant in question presented himself as per assignment, at the factory in Philadelphia, Monday, June 22, at 9 A.M. Mr. Bowie, who is in charge of that department, read his letter to the applicant, which was the means of identification, and handed it back, saying: "Sorry; we cannot accommodate you; we did not know that you were colored." The rejected applicant at once wired a prominent F Street merchant—a good friend—and a large customer of the J. Maury Dove Coal Company. A reply was received in about an hour, which stated that the matter had been taken up. The merchant made a second trip, and Mr. Dove, who told him that he did not like to interfere, etc. Philadelphia is a city of liberal treatment to its colored citizens; the public schools are mixed, and the pretentious moving picture and vaudeville play houses make no discrimination; eating places, such as line Pennsylvania Avenue and our downtown business streets, serve colored patrons without hesitation. The jim crow sentiment is not native to that city. The Lanston Monotype Machine Company has taught several colored printers the operation of their keyboard, but it was probably before the ascendance of the Washington contingent, who went out of the way to carry their prejudices in fairly decent territory. The Mergenthaler Linotype Machine Company teach the mechanics of their machine to all whose references justify the expectation of being of service in the exploitation of their machine. The question now naturally arises, how many of the numerous colored, individuals and organizations, who are patrons of the J. Maury Dove Coal Company, will meekly continue to patronize a concern whose policy is dominated by one who, without hesitation, takes Negro-hating prejudices into fairly decent territory, and even though urged by a Caucasian customer, refuses to let down the barriers which have-but recently been erected. *When the Negro learns to strike back through the channels of commercialism, a big step in advancement will have been made by the race toward creating and maintaining that self-respect which is so necessary for real solid progress.* Education of Colored Girls. Rock Castle, Va., June 16. In this beautiful sequestered spot, situated on the James River, about forty-six miles from Richmond, apart from the busy traffic of life, is located St. Francis de Sales Institute, founded by one of the noblest of Christian philanthropists, Rev. Mother Katherine Drexel, and which by her direction is devoted exclusively to the religious, literary and practical education of colored and Indian girls. The Institute is conducted under the supervision of the devoted Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament. The assiduity, zeal and untiring energy with which they have performed their labors is well attested by the thoroughly equipped, and brilliant pupils that they have turned out to face life's problems, and to meet its stern realities. St. Frances de Sales held its annual commencement exercises on the 10th instant. To say that it was a brilliant affair simply beggars description. The Governor of Virginia and the mayor of Richmond honored the occasion with their presence, and both made eloquent and earnest addresses, expressing the great pleasure it afforded them to be present, and gave the graduates solid and wholesome advice. The costumes of the graduates were exceedingly beautiful, and the stage being most elaborately and artistically dressed. The scene altogether formed one of unusual splendor. But the most beautiful part of the exercises was in the magnificent triumph of the graduates themselves when they came to deliver their several orations, which were masterpieces of eloquence deep and sublime thought and elicited loud and prolonged applause. The exercises of the day terminated with an exhibition of the beautiful cantata of Rush by the graduates in a most magnificent style, which fully repaid the large course of people from the surrounding country for their presence upon the occasion. . . The devoted Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament must have felt a conscious satisfaction that their labors for bringing St. Frances de Sales Institute up to its present high state of efficiency, have not been in vain. The years may come and go, but the fifteenth annual commencement exercises at St. Frances de Sales will long be remembered by all who were so fortunate as to be present on the occasion. JOSEPH HARPER HONORED Portrait of First Clerk of Juvenile Court Is Hung in Office A portrait of the late Joseph Harper, who was the first clerk of Juvenile Court, was hung in the clerk's office at the court Monday. The hanging of the portrait resulted from a move started by Judge Latimer and Tracy L. Jeffords, an attorney. Judge Latimer said he thought it would be very appropriate to have a large portrait of the first clerk of the court hung in the office of the clerk of the court. "His very efficient and conscientious work during the early years of the court's history is, I am sure, appreciated by all who knew him and were familiar with the conditions under which he labored," Judge Latimer wrote of Mr. Harper. Tracy L. Jeffords, F. Edward Mitchell and George F. Williams were members of the committee in charge and contributors included many leading members of the bar. Monday afternoon Mr. Jeffords made the presentation speech and Judge Latimer accepted the portrait. The court directed that a record of the presentation be made part of the records of the court and directed adjournment as a mark of respect to the memory of the deceased. S. M. Dudley Mr. S. M. Dudley, who recently retired from the presidency.of Bethel Literary is one of the best known and one of the most affable young men in this city. Mr. Dudley was one of the most popular presiding officers Ex President of the Bethel Literary and Historical Association. One among the most honest and progressive. who has ever been at the head of that institution. When he retired from the presidency of that organization it was regretted by all who attended the meetings. Mr. Dudley is not only a scholar, but he is a good lawyer. Vacation term of the District Supreme Court began today and the assignment of the justices for the summer was announced. Before he begins his vacation Justice Gould will dispose of the criminal and 'equity cases' pending in his court and hear the arguments in the Newman ouster case. The assignment of justices is as follows: Justice Anderson, July 1 to 18; Justice Wright. July 20 to August 6; Justice Stafford, August 7 to 26; Justice Gould, August 27 to September 16; Chief Justice Covington, September 17 to October 5. M. H. J. B. ATTORNEY PERRY W. FRISBY.

WILL THEY SUCGEED Rumor of a Scheme to Supplant the St. Lukes ALL DETAILS IN THE HANRS OF THE BEE A Scheme to Supplant This Great Or A Scheme to Supplant This Great Or organization. Is It a Conspiracy? R. W. G. Council, I. O. of St. Luke, the strongest organization in the United States, is doing well in this city. The Bee is in possession of facts which tend to show that there are certain individuals trying to supplant this organization with an organization known as Tousaint Elevation. It seems as if certain members of St. Luke are officers in this new organization and are telling the people that this new association is a great deal better than the St. Luke. The Bee gives this timely, warning to the people to beware of this new borrn baby and not be deceived. The St. Luke is the most reliable organization in this country and the officers in the St. Luke are reliable and trustworthy. The Bee will have more to say later. NATIONAL NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE The next annual meeting of the National Negro Business League is to be held at Muskogee, Oklahoma, August 19th, 20th and 21st. The six States adjacent to Muskogee, the place of the next annual meeting, are: Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas, and Oklahoma These six States have a Negro population of about 2,000,000. These col- s has been named by President Wilf if the Supreme Court of the District is a Christian gentleman and pop-associate justices of the Supreme Court ored people have under their control, as owners and renters, about $300,000,000 worth of farm property. They own about 60,000 farms containing about 6,000,000 acres of land. The total value of the farm property, land, live stock, farming implements, etc., owned by the Negro people of these States is about $200,000,000. It is the plan of the officers of the National Organization to center attention at the coming meeting upon the great possibilities in agricultural directions to be found in and adjacent to Oklahoma. From year to year, the League meetings have been held, first in one section of the country and then in another; the object being to inspire and otherwise help forward Negro progress in a given section. At Muskogee some of the most successful colored farmers among the Negro people will speak with particular reference to the progress being made by the Negro people of the great Southwest in Wheat Growing, Potato Growing, Hay and Forage Production, in Oat Raising, in the Live Stock Industry, and in Poultry Raising. Plans are already afoot for a special train to be mobilized at Memphis, Tenn., which shall carry the delegates who are preparing to leave Memphis in special Pullman cars from Florida, Alabama, Tennessee, and Mississippi, consisting of engine, a baggage car, dining car and special Pullmann cars which will leave Memphis not later than Monday, August 17th, reaching Muskogee in ample time for the opening session. The Florida delegation is being organized by Mr. Charles H. Anderson, Treasurer, National Negro Business League, 132 Broad Street, Jacksonville, Florida; the Alabama delegation will be under the direction of Mr. E. T. Attwell, Tuskegee Institute, Ala., President State Negro Business League; the West Tennessee delegation under the direction of Mr. Thomas H. Hayes, Member of the Executive Committee, 247 Poplar Street, Memphis, Tennessee; and the Mississippi delegation under the direction of Mr. Charles Banks, Mound Bayou, President, Mississippi State Negro Business League. It is also expected that delegates from Arkansas will join the delegations mentioned at Little Rock. Mr. R. W. Tyler, National Organizer, 928 T Street northwest, Washington, D.C., in co-operation with Mr. F. H. Gilbert, Registrar, 15 Douglass Street, Brooklyn, New York, and Mr. Fred R. Moore, Editor, New York Age, 247 West Forty-sixth Street, New York City, is arranging for a special Pullman car over the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad from Eastern points. All of these gentlemen will be pleased to hear from any persons intending to be present who live in their immediate sections. Our business men throughout the country should begin to prepare long in advance for the trip to the Business League meeting. Many of our business men make the mistake of sticking to their business every day in the year, giving themselves no time for recreation, or no time in which to come into contact with other men and other business concerns so that they may get new ideas and fresh inspiration. Such a policy never pays. Oklahoma is a new country, and it will pay our business men to get into this new country and see what is there. They will get many new ideas, and among other things they will be surprised at the progress the Negro people are making in that part of the world. Our business men should not only prepare to make the trip, but should, as far as convenient, take their wives and families with them. A man should not only get new ideas and fresh inspiration, but should also give his wife and family the same opportunity. The testimony that many of our men have given concerning the help that they have received from their wives is one of the most interesting features in connection with the League movement. No man should leave his wife at home if he can possibly avoid doing so. From a social point of view, the Oklahoma meeting promises to be a memorable one. While, of course, the greater part of the time the National Negro Business League is in session will be devoted to serious business, nevertheless, the numerous social events which are being planned by the ladies of Oklahoma will make the meeting a most attractive and pleasant one. Muskogee promises to be in no way second to any of the other cities which in the past have entertained the League delegates and their friends. The Secretary of the National Negro Business League, Mr. Emmett J Scott, Tuskegee Institute, Alabama will be pleased to send any further information that may be desired. JABEZ LEE, ESQ.

DR. HAZEN KNOCKED OUT Colored Physician Out-Generaled]Him Dr. C. W. Childs Makes Him Look Like Mince Meat-The Negro Medical Association Invites Him to Read a Paper. In the hall of the Young Men's Christian Association last week, Dr. Hazen, who branded the entire Negro race, sparing not even the babies in the cradle, was invited by the Medical Association to deliver an address similar to his recent magazine article in which he branded the entire colored race, appeared, but his address was in a more modified form. At its conclusion, however, Dr. C. W. Childs, one of the most polished speakers in the Medical Association, scored Dr. Razen in such a manner that caused him to forget what he really did say. Dr. Childs said that there was no disease of the nature of which has been charged against the Negro, by Dr. Hazen, until after his emancipation and he became contaminated with the white people. He said that Dr. Hazen could not be compared with his illustrious father, because his father had some sense. While Dr. Childs was throwing grape and canister shots into Dr. Hazen, he backed up against the wall of the association like a fixture or besmattered mince meat. It was the best speech that was delivered. Drs. A. M. Curtis, Dumas and others spoke also. Woman's Association, Tuskegee Institute Uskegue Institute, Ala. The next biennial meeting of the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs will be held August 4, 5, 6 and 7, 1914, at Wilberforce University, Xenia, O. Representatives from all of the various organizations affiliated in any way with the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs will be represented. A program is being formulated which will show the work that has been done by the various associated clubs under the direction of the State presidents and heads of departments. The whole subject of Health as it is affected by improper dress, improper sanitation, tuberculosis with its dread results, will occupy a large part of the program. Urban Conditions, The Woman and Business Development Among Negro People, and such subjects will occupy a large place in connection with the program. Some of the strongest women are planning to be presented at the coming meeting and to speak, including Miss Anna M. Jones, Kansas City, Mo.; Mrs. B. K. Bruce, of Washington, D. C.; Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, of Washington, D. C.; Mrs. Mary Talbert, of Washington, D. C.; Mrs. Geo. Cook, of Washington, D. C., and many others. President W. S. Scarborough, of Wilberforce University, is also scheduled to speak at one of the meetings. It is earnestly hoped that local organizations will immediately elect their delegates, sending full lists to Miss Ida Cummings, 1234 Druid Hill Avenue, Baltimore, Md., at once. Ample accommodations will be made for the reception and entertainment of all the delegates who are planning to be present, and the social side of the meeting will not in any way be overlooked. Write for accommodations to Miss Hallie Q. Brown, Wilberforce, Ohio. Many encouraging reports have come from every section of the country respecting the work during the past two years. At the Executive Committee meeting, held in Philadelphia last year, the women were more enceased than ever at the spread of the influence of the organization in the life of Negro women of this country. A strong pull all together will bring to Wilberforce in August the greatest body of Negro women ever assembled in America. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON Tuskegee Institute. Ala. MR.

CONVENTIONS NEW JERSEY-OHIO-IOWA CREATION DRAMA EXHIBITED In Discourse Pastor Russell, Association's President, Discussed Eloquently, "Repentance First, Then Consecration," and Pointed Out From Scripture That the Gospel Is For the Contrite of Heart Only—"Suffering With Christ"—Ultimate Purpose of Trials and Afflictions—Glory to Follow. Asbury Park, N. J., June 28.—Pastor Russell is here in attendance at a big General Convention of the International Bible Students' Association, which began its sessions Friday and will continue twelve days. Three General Conventions of this Asocia- PETER H. HARRIS PASTOR RUSSELL eral Conventions of this association are now in progress, the other two being at Columbus, Ohio, and Clinton, Iowa. Upwards of 2,000 delegates are in attendance at each Convention. Being President of the Association, Pastor Russell expects to be present three days at each of the assemblies. Two sessions are held daily in each of the cities, and the Pastor's famous Creation Drama is exhibited each evening. There being four parts to the Drama, three full presentations will be given. Pastor Russell's theme today was one of great interest. The discourse set forth the philosophy of the untold sufferings of Christians throughout this Gospel Dispensation. Part IV. of The Photo-Drama of Creation, now on exhibition both at home and abroad, depicts the unwritten history of the Church of Christ, and enables those who see it to realize to some extent what it has cost true Christians to "follow His steps." The Pastor's text was, "Jehovah hath appointed Me to preach good tidings to the meek, to bind up the broken-hearted."—Isaiah 61:1. The Pastor opened his discourse by drawing attention to the statement that the Gospel Message is for the meek, the broken-hearted. During the Millennial Reign of Christ God will take away the stoniness of heart from mankind and will give, Instead, hearts of flesh. Under the blessed conditions of the Kingdom, hard, selfish hearts will gradually become soft, tender, kind, gentle. But now, in advance of Messiah's Kingdom, God is seeking those who are seeking Him. Those who are not especially seeking Him are not likely to find Him. Preaching the Gospel to the meek is the work of this Age. This is the only class which God wishes to have now. He is seeking the class that desire to be of the Bride of Christ, Jesus' joint-heirs in the Messianic Kingdom. Therefore the Message is not such as would suit the hard-hearted. Only the tender-hearted care to know about the love of God, the mercy of God, the forgiveness of sins, the privilege of returning to the Father's House and of having Jesus as their SAVOR. The Pastor believes that in the past we have had a wrong idea as to whom the Gospel Message is to go. We went out into the highways and byways to find those who, were very wicked—blasphemers, etc., thinking that these were the ones with whom we were to deal. The Scriptures do not authorize any such idea. A person living in unrepeated sin is not in the proper condition to receive God's great Plan of the Ages, the speaker claimed. God has declared that "none of the wicked shall understand." He does not wish them to do so. The very reverse is true. His purpose is to bind up the broken-hearted. God's Message speaks peace to those who are in trouble and who are looking to Him, seeking the righteousness which He provides. Some apparently have made a great mistake in thinking that the Gospel is a sledge hammer with which they are to break men's hearts. The speaker does not know of any Scriptural commission for any of the people of God to break the hearts of men. On the contrary, he thinks that the Devil does most of such work. The Two Conversions. There are two conversions, declared the Pastor. The first is a turning from sin; the second, a turning to God. Those desirous of approaching God are seeking to leave sin. Those who are living in sin wish to be away from God. We cannot go in two directions at once. The course which God would have any pursue is this: When one finds that he is a sinner, he should repent and turn away from sin; then, when he harms that God has made an arrangement by which sinners may be reconciled to Himself, he should ascertain what steps he should take in order to obtain his shure in that reconciliation. While turning from sin may in some respects be called a conversion, yet it is not the principal conversion. Only those who take the step of full concession to the Lord may receive the Holy Spirit and obtain a clear view of the Divine Plan. As the Apostle says, "The natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God; for they are foolishness unto him; neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned." Then the Pastor explained that those begotten of the Holy Spirit are Scripturally called children of God, helps of God, joint-heels, with Jesus Christ. If faithful unto death, they will be glorified in the First Resurrection. Meantime they are to grow in grace, knowledge, love and all other fruits and graces of the Spirit—grow by their trials, by their obedience, by striving against the world, the flesh and the Devil. All this must be done before this class will be ready for their resurrection change. In the present time, however, all who are begotten of the Holy Spirit not only belong to the Church in general, with all others of the people of God, this one Brotherhood of Christ on the spiritual plane, but they are also reckoned as members of the Body of Christ on the fleshy plane—the earthly plane. From this viewpoint, Christ has been suffering in the flesh throughout the Gospel Age. St. Peter says that the Prophets of Israel testified beforehand of the sufferings of The Christ and of the glory to follow; and hence he urges the Church to arm themselves with the same mind that Jesus had. St. Paul speaks of filling up that which is behind of the afflictions of The Christ—all the members of His Body. After these sufferings are filled up, then the glory will follow. The sufferings are not yet complete. The speaker went on to explain how trials and discipline are means of developing Christian character, preparing the child of God for future service in the Kingdom. The privilege of suffering with Christ in the flesh is something to be appreciated. Whoever has trials in the flesh because of Christ because of being His disciple, has occasion for rejoicing. Such should, continue faithful, in order that by and by a polished jewel he may be ready for a glorious setting in the immortality of the future. An uncut, unpolished jewel is not worth much. Its real worth is brought forth in the cutting. So the Lord gives His jewels the cutting and polishing necessary to enable them to reflect the glorious light of the goodness of God. Jewels do not all require the same amount of polishing, declared the Pastor. A small diamond can be cut and polished more easily than can a large one. Those of the people of God who undergo severe trials and afflictions may hope that they will be accounted large jewels in the hands of the Lord. The larger the diamond, the more work in cutting and polishing. Confessing or Denying Christ. But if any such deny Christ, He will deny them. If they continue to confess Him. He will confess them. To confess Christ is to live for Him day by day—confessing Him in the way in which one uses time, influence, money, talents; confessing Him in business, in everything that is either said or done. But if any consecrated child of God should deny Christ by seeking to live after the world, by neglecting the Covenant of Sacrifice, such would thus demonstrate his unworthiness of a place in the Bride class—the Church in glory. Should any one ask the Pastor why he lays so much stress upon consecration, he would reply that, according to Scripture, God is not now dealing with the world in general; that in order to bring our petitions to the Throne of Heavenly Grace we must get into relationship with God; and that there is only one way by which this can be done—consecration. To emphasize his point the speaker used the illustration of a wedding in the time of our Lord. On such occasions it was customary for the host to furnish all the guests with a plain white linen garment, which was to be worn over their own garments. Whether the guests wore rich or poor ralment, the wedding garment covered everything, and made them all brethren for the time being, for they were guests of the same host. Applying his illustration, Pastor Russell explained that all consecrated Christians have accepted God's invitation to the marriage of the Lamb—the Son of God. But no matter how well we may arrange our own garments, each must put on the wedding garment or else remain away from the feast. The moment of consecration is the moment of receiving the Robe of Christ's Righteousness, and only those who continue to wear that robe will have entrance to the wedding. By nature mankind are sinners. There is only one way to get rid of sins—by belief in the Lord Jesus Christ, and full consecration to do the will of God. Whoever really believes that Jesus died for his sins will act upon his belief by presenting his body a living sacrifice. "Garments Unspotted From the World." Continuing the figure of the Wedding Garment, the Pastor declared that the robe put on by the Christians who desired to have entrance to the Marriage of the Lamb was white and clean, representing his full justification at the moment of consecration—all blemishes of the flesh being covered with the merit of Christ. The Scriptures tell us that those who ultimately enter in to the Marriage will be those who have kept their garments unspotted from the world. Since all unrighteousness is sin, every sin is a spot upon the robe, whether it be committed wilfully or ignorantly. All faithful children of God should use all diligence in keeping their garments free from blemish. This may be done by daily thinking about the robe, and nightly asking the Lord to remove each spot—to forgive each failure made that day. The blood of Jesus Christ keeps cleansing all who ask that they be cleansed. This is the Heavenly Father's arrangement for His children. He desires them to walk circumspectly, watching where they tread. Thus they learn every detail in respect to their own imperfections. No one can live for even one day without trespassing upon the perfect Law of God; for by nature we are all imperfect. In heart the child of God does not sin; the New Creature does not sin. It is merely that the flesh is weak. But we have the comforting assurance of the Scripture that "if any man sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the Righteous." Our Lord is there to make good with the Father for all the Adamic weaknesses. The Pastor then discussed two kinds of sin, one of which he declared to he forgivable and the other unforgivable. If to any extent the mind consents to the deed, to that extent the sin is wilful. Then only that portion which was not wilful will be forgiven. Whatever part was not forgivable is punishable. The individual will receive stripes, punishments, of one sort or another, proportionate to the degree in which the will consented to the sin. There is naturally such sympathy between the flesh and the mind that sometimes even the will of the New Creature permits the flesh to take it by force, as it were. This should not be; the will is responsible, and because of its carelessness will receive stripes of some kind. But so long as the individual feels sorry as soon as the yielding to temptation has passed, he may know that his will does not love sin. Should his will ever change and prefer sin, he would not be sorry after the sin was committed. How to Be an Overcomer. It was then shown that every consecrated child of God must be an overcomer in fighting the good fight of faith, and in obedience to God must put down everything that pertains to sin and unrighteousness in himself, and stand for that which is pleasing in the sight of God. This is the test of our loyalty to Him and to the principles of His righteous Government. Many sins are really weaknesses of the flesh which overcome the will momentarily. Just here the New Creature must conquer in the fight. He must get the victory over the flesh. If we sin, if we trespass, we must go to the Mountain of Grace and be forgiven. The great difficulty. the Pastor declared, seems to be that after we have had some experiences of this kind, we properly enough feel ashamed that we have not done better. This is the time when the Christian is in danger. He is liable to fall to ask forgiveness at the Throne of the Heavenly Grace; for he feels that already he has been forgiven perhaps many times for the same trespass. Therefore he may try to forget the spot, to forget the "robe," almost to forget the Lord. Gradually a veil comes between him and God; the Father is not so near and so dear as once He was. While He is still his Heavenly Father, while still the erring one trusts in Him, nevertheless there is a lack of the fellowship of the Spirit. Earth-born clouds have hidden the Father's face. This is the experience of hundreds of the people of God; for they cannot be in His presence with spots upon their robes, and they do not resolve that they will not live away from Him. They cannot have fellowship with the Lord while their robes are spotted, nor can they have proper Christian life while absent from the Lord. The lesson on this point, the speaker declared, is that we watch and keep humble. To come to the Lord and say, "O Lord, another time I have failed! How ashamed I am!" is to take the right step. Humility is one of the very foundations upon which all other graces must be built. So the Apostle Peter says, "Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time." The Cleansing Blood of Christ. The number of those without spot or wrinkle or any such thing is very small, said the Pastor. Many Christians have not kept their wedding robes with sufficient care, and thus have shown their lack of appreciation of the wedding and of their invitation to attend. If the attention of such be called to the spots, they try to put them out of sight, to ignore them, to declare that everybody has spots on his robe. This is an unwise procedure; for the robe is our passport into the Kingdom. If the spots are not removed, they gradually become more and more a blindrance to those who seek to be ac counted worthy of a place in the Bride class. The Pastor then reminded his audience that when the Christian first received his robe, it was pure white, with a certain design stamped thereon, and that he was expected to embroider it with the character-likeness of the Lord. If he has gotten the robe spotted and beddragged, he should go to the Lord in prayer, and persist until he has assurance of forgiveness and cleansing. We read, "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." It is not merely a matter of love, but of justice, on our part. The Heavenly Father made the arrangement; Jesus has died, paid our penalty and imputed of His own merit sufficient to cleanse all unintentional spots. Forgiveness is to be had for the asking. LEOPARD IN ALL DAY VIGIL When Mate Dies It Moans and Refuses Food For a Day. New York—From 10 o'clock in the morning until late at night Sultan, a snow leopard, four years old, stood with his fore feet planted across the body of his dead mate, Sultana, in a forty foot square outdoor cage in the Bronx zoo. At intervals he raised his head and roared long and plaintively. Every time he did this the lions and jaguars on either side of the leopard cage raised their voices in a deep throated plaint. In an effort to make Sultan abandon his death watch Keeper David Schwartz placed a big, juicy porterhouse steak in the section of the cage inside the animal house, but Sultan paid no attention to it. When asked when he expected to remove Sultanna's body Schwartz said. "Well, I wouldn't go in there while Sultan is grieving—not for twenty zoos." RAISED ARMY FOR MEXICO. Californian Held Up Eight Men and Drilled Them For An Hour. San Rafael, Cal.-An attempt to organize a company of soldiers for the purpose, he said, of marching on Mexico landed Henry Klopp, caretaker of a large estate near here, in fall. Klopp shouldered a rifle, went to a county highway and halted men on the road until he had accumulated an "army" of eight. For an hour he drilled them. Word reached the sheriff's office that the men were being held prisoners, and a deputy slipped up behind Klopp and with the butt of his gun knocked him down. Klopp's gun was found to be empty. He will be examined for his sanity. PETER OF SERVIA WOULD ABDICATE Geneva.—It is an open secret in European diplomatic circles that the aged King Peter of Servin wishes to abdicate in favor of his son and settle down in private life in Geneva. His majesty has a large circle of private friends here, he having passed ten SUPER Photo by American Press Association. KING PETER OF SERVIA. years here for the education of his two boys. For more than a year past private emissaries have been on the lookout trying to find a suitable residence for the old king, but the notorious conduct of his son and heir to the throne has somewhat disarranged his original plans, and he is advised that his second son is still too young to assume the responsibility of a ruler. The day after the assassination of King Alexander and Queen Draga King Peter said—he was then Prince Karageorgevitch—that he aborbed the terrible crime, in which he took no part whatever. He added that he was too old to accept the throne, but that he had no choice in the circumstances. As soon as affairs permitted he would return to the quiet life of a country gentleman in Geneva. During all these years his majesty has kept up his correspondence with his former friends here and in private letters has stated quite recently that he hopes to be in Geneva again at no distant date. As he put it. "Now that the war is over, I can finish my days in peace with honor." Bat Robs a Slot Machine: Findlay, O.-The discovery of a rat working a slot machine averted suspicion from several boys who, it was thought, had been robbing it in the Toledo and Ohio Central passenger station of gum and pennles. Four hundred sticks of the former and fifty pennles were missed when a rat was seen climbing up the wall near the machine. It jumped on the trap in the machine and in this way released gum and penniles. IDAHO'S MINE PROFITS BIG ted $4,776,775 in the Aggregate. Wallace, Ida.—Net profits reports on sixteen producing mines in Shoshone county filed with the assessor for as assessment purposes for the present year based on the operations of the year 1913 show a total net profit of mines of $4,776,775 as against net profits of $3,589,501 for the preceding year, or an increase of $1,187,274 in the face of an adverse lead market which, during the year, has gradually fallen approximately $1.40 per hundred pounds. The gross output of the sixteen big producers for 1913 amounted to 2,039,030 tons, an increase of 150,758 tons over the preceding year, while the gross value amounted to $17,670,083, an increase of $2,391,020. The cost of extraction amounted to $6,586,784 as against $5,926,374 for the year 1912; transportation and smelter charges amounted to $5,707,412 as against $5,059,612 for the preceding year, and improvements and betterments decreased from $908,785 to $635,376. The most remarkable showing made by any single producer is that of a mine which this year jumps into first place, eclipsing the Bunker Hill by $144,814 in net profits. Still another remarkable showing, is that of a mine which this year displaces the Stewart for third place in the producing list with net profits of $838,140; the Stewart ranks fourth with $561,432 as against $395,344 last year. The Morning Mine at Mullan holds its position at fifth place, with a decrease of $19,632 in its net profits, while the Hecia drops from fourth last year to sixth this year. GOOD TO JACK'S GIRL Daniels Allows Sailors on Shore Leave to Stay Away Later. Washington.—Secretary Daniels demonstrated again his friendship for Cupid by letting it be known that he purposes to extend the shore leave of sailors when their ships are in port. Incidentally Secretary Daniels expects thereby to decrease the number of technical desertions. Under present regulations, when a sailor gets shore leave, he must return to his ship by 11 o'clock, when the last boat to the ship leaves shore. There have been many desertions because of failures to catch the last boat, and Secretary Daniels has issued an order providing that there shall be a 12 o'clock and a 1 o'clock boat between shore and ship. "It is quite unfair," said Secretary Daniels, "to expect that a sailor can take his girl to a theater, have a little supper afterward and get back in time for the last boat at 11 o'clock. I have ordered that the last boat between shore and ship leave at 1 o'clock. I understand that navy desertions have been due to sailors missing the 11 o'clock boat, because they have feared the results." MONUMENTS MARK U. S. BOUNDARY Surveyors Fix-Line Between Alaska and Canada. Sitka, Alaska.-Scarring a broad line across 600 miles of wilderness in the far north in order that the possessions of the United States and Canada may have a distinct separation at every point will be completed during the coming open season. The work has been in progress since 1007 under the direction of Thomas Riggs, Jr., civil engineer, representing the United States Alaskan boundary commission. and T. D. Craig, representing a similar commission of Canada. Although the United States and Canada have been neighbors in the far north for almost half a century, the exact dividing line between their possessions, especially as to the northern portion, was, previous to this survey, indefinite and conflicting. Many disputes arising, the two governments decided finally, through their commissions, that an absolute survey, clearly established and marked for all time, should be made along the one hundred and forty-first meridian, from the Mount St. Ellas Alps, on the Pacific, to the Arctic ocean, a distance of approximately 600 miles. The United States surveying party consisted of from sixty to eighty men each season since the work was undertaken. Chief Engineer Riggs, himself a young college man, selected his aids from the hardest classes—cowboys, forest rangers, prospectors, timber cruisers and frontiersmen, with a liberal sprinkling of engineers. New expeditions were organized each spring, although many of the men who started at the beginning have remained in the service up to now. It was the custom, too, to leave a few men in the north each winter to care for equipment and supplies. The actual visible result of the six or seven years of efforts is a twenty foot vista, cut, like a gigantic avenue or lane, through all timber and brush districts, together with monuments set at intervisible points from three to four miles apart.

In the politics of the land, just as in all other developments, the Negro is at the bottom. He is at the bottom, not because he desires to be there, nor because he is slothful and unmindful of his position, but simply because he is so often used by the different political parties and then so frequently and intentionally forgotten. The Republican party for years has been trying to get rid of the Negro, and this brazen, brutal neglect, reached its climax under the Taft administration; and when the rupture took place at Chicago, the Negro left the party in overwhelming numbers and affiliated with the Progressive and Democratic parties. It is a fact known to all well-informed Negroes that more Negroes, influential Negroes of worth and prominence, voted the Democratic ticket in 1912, than ever before and thousands upon thousands are going to vote for Democratic Congressmen in the North, East and West, unless there is a rapid and most decided public change in the political policy and management of the Republican and Progressive parties, so far as the Negro is concerned. The removal of the pledge of secrecy on the United States Senators, relative to the vote on Judge Terrell, while done primarily to benefit the anti-Negro sentiment of the South, by showing that no Southern Senator was courageous enough to vote for a Negro as municipal judge in Washington, although backed by the Wilson administration, had also the double effect of showing the Negro voters of the North that not one, single Northern Democratic United States Senator, voted against Judge Terrell. Add to this showing the naming of a Negro as Recorder of Deeds as has been authoritatively announced, these two things are going to be used by the Northern Democratic United States Senators, Congressmen and speakers to show that the Northern Democracy is not only the friend of the Negro, but that in the North, the Democrats have actually done more for the Negro than the Republicans have. The Negroes who rallied to the support of Theodore Roosevelt, and did all in their power to re-elect him to the presidency, have been forgotten by the Progressive machine. The Roosevelt party stands to lose the Negro vote, unless Roosevelt, himself, astute politician that he is, takes a hand and attempts to hold the Negro vote of the North to his party. There is a large element of political ingratitude towards the Negro, in the treatment of the Negro by the Progressives and the result of it will surely be felt in November. In truth, we don't believe Col. Roosevelt could change the tide, that is now running high against the Progressive and setting towards the Republicans, if the Republican managers would only open their eyes to facts and realize that there are more than a half million Negro voters in the North; and that this vote is not going out to seek any party as has been the custom heretofore, and is beginning to sulk at the treatment it has received from the Progressive and Republican parties. Just how the Republicans, with 50,000 Negro votes in New York, 70,000 in Pennsylvania, 42,000 in Illinois, 18,000 in Kansas, 11,000 in Ohio, 5,600 in Iowa, 10,000 in California, 21,000 in Indiana, 65,000 in Maryland and 55,000 votes in Missouri, with a smaller but equally as important vote in the various congressional districts of the North, can play the kind of political game JAPAN FIRM. The diplomatic controversy between Japan and this country, which has been kept hot ever since May, 1913, is interesting and instructive in two essential particulars, namely, that affecting the honor, self-respect, friendship and dignity of the Japanese people; and the remarkable position taken by this government, in view of existing treaty stipulations. On the part of Japan, her protest against racial discrimination and antagonism by the California state government, is open and manly, while it is entirely free from quibble, quirk and bluster. It takes the stand that, since treaties made by the United States are declared by the National Constitution to be "the supreme law of the land," the honor of the national government is involved, and that consequently, the entire federal power should be invoked and applied, if need be, to enforce national recognition and strict performance of treaty pledges. The Japanese correspondence is pregnant with honorable indignation by reason of treatment which they deem "essentially unfair and invidiously discriminatory," "inconsistent with the sentiment of good neighborhood," "mortifying to the government and people of Japan," and "hurtful to their national sensibilities." This is predicated primarily upon the attitude of California, with reference to the ownership of land in that state. In this respect, Japan complains that, notwithstanding assurances of "the most constant protection" to their property, and the clause granting the Japanese the right to own homes, factories, warehouses and shops, the Federal government has, thus far, declined to accord property rights in land, which fact, though a "favored nation" places them "at a disadvantage, as compared with non-treaty countries." Contending that the situation is devoid of any political aspect, since all Japanese are legally disfranchised; and encountered by no statement or intimation bearing upon their mental, moral or physical insufficiencies, Japan frankly states that it regards the position of California as "internationally racially discriminatory." On the subject of the California discriminatory law the American government replied that it had taken certain steps to avoid the legislation in question, and that "under the constitutional arrangements of the United States, we could do no more than that." thereby, admitting the humiliating attitude of being powerless to enforce, in the interest of good neighborhood and national honor, the observance of the solemn pledges contained in an instrument declared and admitted to be "the supreme law of the land." This government further pointed out that the supposition of racial discrimination has been given "undue prominence," and concluded that "favored nation clauses have almost universally related to commerce and navigation; and that the assurance that its good offices would be exerted to prompt and efficacious determination of any suits brought in the courts of the United States." To this Japan replied that their conviction of racial discrimination on the subject "does not afford a valid basis for discrimination on the subject of land tenure." history between Japan and cease May, 1913, is, as namely, that at the city of the Japanese is government, in of Japan, her pri- nce the California s nitely free from nance treaties made Constitution to be national governmental power should recognition and the correspondence of treatment whi- discriminatory," "the mortifying uplift to their nation at the attitude of that state.

In other words, Japan is satisfied that the whole opposition to their acceptability, on the terms expressed and implied in the treaty, is for the sole reason that they are not members of the "favored race." It may not be charitable or intensely patriotic to say that the attitude of this government is an attempt to "chase the devil 'round the stump" to hide the real motive; that it is a "shuffle" to out-hold the Japanese. But, to those familiar with the ways of white Americans generally, in dealing with non-Anglo-Saxons, the correct translation of this diplomatic correspondence appears to be only an attempt to escape the charge of being prejudiced on account of color, and at the same time to satisfy that same unreasonable and utterly unfair, sentiment. We cannot but admire the Japanese for their insistence upon the recognition their place among the powerful nations of the earth deserves. They are known and acknowledged to be a brave, sober, industrious, frugal and healthy people. Their morality will stand well in comparison with that of any other nation on the globe; and their humanity, as expressed in their hospital and sanitary reforms, would furnish a splendid example of social progress far beyond that attained in this country. It may be that they do not equal some of the other so-called civilized nations in a highly developed commercial instinct, or insatiable avidity for wealth and power, but they are fast learning that these may become necessary to the successful assertion and defense of national honor, peace, prosperity and universal acceptability; and are even now not far behind the powerful nations of the earth in this regard. Considered from any reasonable viewpoint, the Japanese people compare very favorably with any, and are incomparably superior to a majority of the so-called "white" nations. But, in the present case, the Japanese has shown his patience, and no doubt will continue to do so until that habit ceases to be a virtue or he can, with assurance of success, administer the much-needed and inevitable chastisement some pride-blown nations deserve. The position of the colored people of this country bears some analogy to that of the Japanese. It is true the former have no great country governed by themselves. Along with the white Americans, this country is his by adoption, enforced it may be, but adoption just the same. The only real distinction between the so-called white man and the colored man is well expressed in the latter's designation—colored man. Taking them all in all, at every angle, there is no difference between white and colored people, in those qualities which tell for true manhood and womanhood. Though above the average foreigner in intelligence, adaptability and patriotism (a fact generally, when honestly, admitted), yet this same bugaboo of color prejudice haunts the average so-called white man, who out of fear or false pride, or both, persists in flaunting his "superiority" rag constantly in the faces of all darker races, without regard. The determination on the part of Japan to let the world know that it is not to be "put off" with flimsy diplomatic finesse, designed to hide the actuating cause of inharmony, is certainly to be admired. A pat on the back will not satisfy this proud and deserving people. They have every reason to expect treatment consistent with their surprising powers and capabilities, as recent international developments have clearly shown. They indignantly spurn the attempt to make the mere fact of color-a badge of inferiority, or of ineligibility to the fullest and highest international recognition. There can be nothing more natural than that the colored people should sympathize with Japan in this controversy, provided, of course, that racial discrimination is at the bottom of the deplock. We, more than any other people, feel the sting of the injustice of color-prejudice. It has subjected us to the fury of fendish and irresponsible mobs; it has segregated us, jimcrowed us, disfranchised us; rendered us the objects upon which to gratify the vilest of passions, the most soulless persecutions and humiliations—all but totally dismantled us. But, thanks be to God, we have promise in the growing white minority in our favor, faith in the eternal verities, an unquenchable enthusiasm tending toward right living, religion, education, independence and untiring social service, which must sooner or later, lead us by the side of the still waters of peace and prosperity. it is playing now and yet hope to poll a large Negro vote, is certainly not playing the game according to Mark Hanna or any other successful political general. THE BETTER WAY The suggestion of Miss Christine Tinling, national lecturer on scientific temperance of the W. C. T. U., before the quarterly convention of the union, on the 25th instant, is full of meat; and if acted upon by temperance lecturers generally, would go far toward expediting the movement leading to the annihilation of the liquor traffic. She takes the ground that the most rational way of treating the subject is by story-telling in the public schools, but in a way such as to eliminate the old-fashioned method of introducing ugly pictures of the saloon, drunkenness, and the like. She places special emphasis on the cultural value of teaching the benefits and importance of abstinence, of high ideals and the cultivation of social relations which preclude habits or even thoughts of intemperance and of the demoralizing influences of saloon life and saloon patronage. The history of the temperance movement furnishes proof of the need of a change of propaganda methods, since the movement toward temperance has been slow under old schemes. To present the brighter side of life and the means by which it may be cultivated and fully enjoyed, seems to be a far better method than that of endeavoring to disgust or frighten people by blood-curdling stories of the horrors of brothels and drunkenness. It is not unlikely that to cultivate ENLIGHTENED EDUCATIONAL METHODS The recent graduation of young William James Sidis, from Harvard University, at the age of fourteen years, furnishes food for discussion as to the proper period of life at which to place the child under systematic educational training. The statement of the father, Prof. Boris Sidis, denying any particular "genius" for his son, is to the effect that the son's education was taken in hand by himself and at a time in the boy's age when parents generally regard it a duty to fill a child's mind with useless lumber, which when the time for systematic educational training arrives must be unlearned and ruthlessly thrown in the junk heap. Prof. Sidis contends that the proper time to begin the education of a child is as soon as it is born, and to adapt the particular training to its growing capacity. From his point of view, he sees nothing unnatural or surprising in Young Sidis' intellectual progress, since, he contends, he has applied only the natural and ordinary means of drawing out what is in the normal child. There has been no attempt to restrain the childish inclinations, indeed, he has sought to give them full play as has been shown by the boy's expertness in tennis and other youthful out-of-door sports—but he has merely endeavored to confine the intellectual powers within their proper sphere. The Professor makes some strictures on current and intellectual methods, contending that altogether too much time is wasted in the public schools in studies which do not tend to develop and exercise the analytical and synthetical powers. As he says, the child "was not confused with baby talk, meaningless sounds or foolish gestures, yet his mind was not more burdened than that of the ordinary child." To be sure, there is a recognized advantage in having parentage of great intellectual powers and pedagogical experience, heredity and environment; and the gamut between the dullard and the "genius" must not be forgotten,—yet it seems reasonable that, as Prof. Sidis intimates, were less time wasted in the cultivation of foolish prattle, ghost stories and the like, in the ordinary child, greater and earlier advancement would be made. The least that may be said concerning the capabilities and training of children generally is that the age of four or five years is none too young for children to begin a systematic mode of intellectual culture. And this opens the question as to whether it would not be best for children to enter the kindergarten between the ages of four and five, or in exceptional cases, at an earlier period. A scientifically graded curriculum could be adopted which would enable kindergartens to receive pupils at an age much younger than that in vogue. in the minds of school children a dislike for and abstinence from alcohol, it is only needful to acquaint them with the effects of the poison on the mental and physical constitutions. To know that alcohol hardens the food we eat and prevents liquefaction and digestion; that it diminishes the power of the gastric juice, obstructs the absorption of food by the cells of the stomach, shrinks up and eventually destroys the red corpuscles of the blood, and causes degeneration of the gray cells of the brain; that it inflames the lining of the stomach; that it is responsible for 25 per cent of the insane persons in the world; and that 10 per cent of the total number of deaths from all causes belong to the debit side of John Barleycorn's account—the inculcation of these truths would do more in the interest of public morality and general social betterment than this eternal anathematizing of the saloon, the saloon-keeper, and the thousands who, from devilry, weakness, or ignorance, make up the army of tipplers. So long as the government, state and national, grants licenses to traffic in the commodity, it is unwise, as it is uncharitable, to barate the people who conduct, and profit by, the business. No better or more logical way is conceivable than that of training the young to eschew intoxicants, and thus reduce or cut off the demand for their manufacture, upon the principle that any form of intemperance renders impossible the attainment of that standard of purity and social service whose characteristic expression is individual and collective prosperity and happiness. Such examples as Kansas, a practically "dry" state; presents, where out of 105 counties, 87 have no insane asylums: 51 have no institutions for the feeble-minded (all because there is no demand for those cases): 38 poor-farms with up inmates, and 65 jails with no prisoners furnish a more effective, instructive and conclusive argument against the use of alcoholic liquors; than all the stormy vituperation and indiscriminate denunciation that old-time advocates can possibly invent. A DASTARDLY BILL. A BASTARD BILL On June 27th ultimo Park, the successor of Rosenberry of Georgia, introduced a bill in Congress making it unlawful to appoint as commissioned officer in the Army or Navy of the United States any person of the Negro race. This is another Georgia hayseed, who can only become prominent by attacking the colored American. He hasn't sense enough to introduce a bill tending to civilize the crackers in his own State or even to educate himself. Park, whoever, he may be, is a backwoodsman. He is not known outside of his district. He is in the hands of the Georgia crackers, who are badly in need of civilization. So far as the Negro is concerned, he will be needed very soon, and if his enemies believe that he is going to push himself where he is not wanted—they are mistaken. THE SUN MAN The itinerant editor of The Sun who has been making occasional cracks at The Bee, cannot draw a breath without paying his respects to the editor of The Bee. He imagines that he should be invited wherever The Bee editor is invited and if he fails to get an invitation he declares that he will make war. The female associate of The Sun will have the pleasure of reading about herself if she continues. She will wake up one of these bright Saturday mornings and find herself printed in variegated colors, with imprints from The Bee sting. When a bee hive is disturbed, the honey-making bee spares neither men, women nor children. If The Sun man will go back 34 years he will see that The Bee has always been interested in the schools. When school officials act right they get honey; when they are wrong they get stung and whatever The Bee has said for or against the schools, the people are satisfied because The Bee has no favors to ask. If the itinerant editor of The Sun wants to know a thing or two The Bee is full of information of the requests and demands The Sun has made. GONE EAST. Mr. J. Maury Dove, of this city, is the president of the J. Maury Dove Coal Company, and from what the advertisement says all students are invited to learn the Langston Monotype. A very highly educated colored citizen of this city answered the advertisement and presented himself at the company's school in Philadelphia, Pa., where there is but little prejudice against the Negro. This gentleman entered the school, as will be seen by a report elsewhere, and as soon as it was known that he was colored his application was rejected. Thousands of colored people in this city purchase coal from the Maury Dove Coal Company. They have great confidence in and for the company. Under present conditions the colored people will continue to purchase coal from the Maury Dove Coal Company? FAIR PLAY ASSOCIATION FAIR PLAY ASSOCIATION The so-called Fair Play Association is composed of a certain class of disgruntled individuals who don't want to see the colored Americans advanced. In short they are men who believe in getting everything to the detriment of progressive colored citizens. It is claimed by this association that the Negro is not a citizen of the United States. If the members of this association don't believe that colored Americans are not entitled to citizenship they should attempt to compete with them. The best white citizens in the United States have no fear of the Negro. The meeting was held last Tuesday night in the Masonic Temple and the speeches were tirades and abuse of the colored citizens. COLORED POLICEMEN The Bee respectfully calls the attention of Commissioner Siddons, who has supervision over the police department, of the seeming disposition of that department to ignore colored officers. Unless Commissioner Siddons takes hold of the police department himself, and sees that a few colored officers are appointed, none will be appointed. An attempt was made to hoodwink ex-Commissioner West, when he had charge of the police department, personally saw that competent colored men were appointed on the police force. Professor Cook. Prof. Geo. W. Cook, of Howard University, has been a member of the Board of Charities for thirteen years or more. Why should he be removed? He is far superior in education and business qualifications than any member of the board. Prof. Cook is an honor to the race and a great acquisition to Howard University. NEGRO DEMOCRATS Doesn't the Negro Democrat see that there is nothing for him? Why do colored educators always want white men and women to address them? Prof. Kelly Miller and Prof. Geo. W. Cook are able to give practical advice. PUBLIC MEN AND THINGS (By the Sage of the Potomac.) There was some sensation about two weeks ago in the Northeast. The husband told the wify that he was going out of town, but he didn't. So the little wify brought an escort home with her from church. Hubby had locked himself up in his office unbeknown to wify, and after she had entered and unrobbed, just then the Adonis of the Ninth Precinct passed, and little wify could not resist from tapping against the window glass, which attracted the attention of this Adonis "patrollman," who could not resist from the "Spider and the Fly" invitation. All this time little hubby was silently locked up in his office. O! what kissing! Then little wify was surrounded by several admirers and hubby "hidden" away in his office. O, when "hubby" saw wife showering kisses upon the Adonis of the face, and when she said that she purchased a silk dress with the ten dollars he had given her, hubby rushed out with a revolver in his hand and commanded the intruders of his household to get down upon their knees and confess. Wify confessed first. She had to confess, because hubby stood over her, with a revolver in his hand. While she confessed in writing. One of the individuals was soundly thrashed, while the Adonis of the force agreed never to speak to hubby's wify any more. He thrashed wifey and drove her from his home and perambulated the neighborhood, telling his neighbors his trials and tribulations. Northeast was thrown into consternation. The colored denizens didn't know what to think. Wify had een driven from home and hubby was soilinguizing to himself until he was suddenly seized with convulsions and walked directly to the home of wifey where she had taken shelter and begged her to return to him again. Now they both are living happily together in Baltimore, from which place they left several years ago. \*\*\* If you don't invite some people to your social functions they will become offended. You must not be of the opinion because you are connected with a newspaper that you shall have free admission to the social circle or to private functions. This is where the late B K. Bruce drew the line. A female who has recently set sails in journalism as she thinks, became insulted because she was not given a box seat at a recent drill. The male thought that he should have been specially invited. I just can't understand how a principal of a school can make a teacher in any particular study what he knows nothing about. This is a mathematical problem that the Board of Education must settle. Some people forget from whence they come. Dr. Thurston doesn't propose to have any insubordination. The assistant superintendent had to read the riot act to the O Street Vocational principal. A lady teacher who is one of the most refined and accomplished in the corps was locked out of the rooms at O Street a few days ago. The matter was carried to the assistant who was told a thing or two that he will not repeat. Several transfers have been requested and it is quite likely that a few changes will take place. Well, the Sun melted itself last week. Finley intends to do what no other journalist has been able to do. He didn't seem to profit by the advice that had been given others. A mule that will not eat must be made to eat. * * * I took a trip over in the God-forsaken country Monday. I had to Jim Crow it. I felt like butting my head against the car windy. You have never been to Alexandria in a "Jim Crow" section, have you? You should take a trip and see how you enjoy seated behind Virginia cracker who haven't taken a bath for a month. The bunch of lawyers who had their pictures taken are a fine set of fellows. I understand that Thomas Walker is the thoroughbred among the legal lights. I have often heard William Calvin speak so well and often about him. He is a thorough race man and one who believes in the elevation of his people. Prof. M. Grant Lucas contemplates resigning his school job and, enter upon the practice of his legal profession. Grant should be careful and not jump into an uncertainty. The legal profession is all right provided you can get the clients. I shall take a trip to Oklahoma next month if I can collect enough money on the percentage plan. We all like "puffs," but we dislike to pay for them. The steamer Angler will make three trips to River View on the 17th—10 A.M. 2 and 6 P.M. Round trip only 25 cents.

The church was comfortably filled. Many lovers of high-class music from the community and from the city of Washington were present. The concert was indeed a grand one. Quite a storm arose, but the chorus sang to the great delight of all. The female chorus was invited to sing again in October. The officers of the chorus are: Miss Laura Tyler, directress: Mrs. M. Clinksecale, pianist: Mrs. Hattie Contee, president: Mrs. Martha Manning, vice president: Mrs. Mary C. Plummer, secretary: Mrs. Addie B. Mullins, chairman.

"He maketh life run to rise on the civil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust." Matthew 5:35. THIS parable is difficult of interpretation so as to make all its features and fulfilment. The Great Teacher gave it as a parable of the Kingdom; hence it applies to the Church's experiences during this Gospel Age. If we apply the different intervals to different epochs in this Age, we have difficulty; for the Apostles and others called early in the Age did not labor throughout the entire period. Again, in so applying it, we face the proposition that only those at the beginning of the Age had definite promise as respects a reward; that all others received merely the assurance that they would get what would be right. Another difficulty in interpreting the parable is how to apply the murmuring of those first called and last rewarded. Other Scriptures show us that the Apostles and others of the early Church will experience their resurrection change before those living at Christ's Second Coming. Furthermore, it is unthinkable that the Apostles and others of the early Church would murmur at their reward. that the Apostles and others of the early Church will experience their resurrection change before those living at Christ's Second Coming. Furthermore, it is unthinkable that the Apostles and others of the early Church would murmur at their reward. All these difficulties must be borne in mind when we attempt to fit this parable to the experiences of the Church as a whole during the Age. If we apply the parable to individual experiences, we have trouble also. Applying it thus, we might say that those who began a Christian life early, and are found faithful in the Lord's service at the evening-time of life, would be those first called and promised a reward. Others coming in later and serving the Lord with only a portion of their time, strength and talent would correspond to those called later even at the eleventh hour. If we interpret the parable as meaning that all will get a similar reward regardless of the time spent in the Master's service, we still have difficulty with the fact that those called earliest were dissatisfied. How then can we apply this parable consistently, in harmony with other Scriptural teachings respecting the reward of the Kingdom class? The only way of which we can think is to apply it entirely to present-life experiences of the Kingdom class, especially of those living at the close of this Age. Privilege of Discipleship the Penny. For sixteen hundred years and more the Jews awaited. Messiah's Coming and the blessed opportunities which it would bring. When Jesus began His ministry, He preached, "The Kingdom of God is at hand," and gave the Jews the privilege of entering into it. That privilege was a "penny"—a reward for their faithful endeavor to keep the Law. But when the offer of the Kingdom was promulgated, some publicans and sinners were attracted. These new laborers were received by the Lord Jesus and given opportunity to become His disciples. The Scribes and the Pharisees, faithful to God all their lives, murmured at any arrangement as unfair which would not give them the first opportunities of the Kingdom. If publicans and sinners were to obtain the blessed privileges of discipleship with Messiah, surely, they thought, some still higher favor should come to them. As the Kingdom was offered to the Jews in Jesus' day, and those newest in Divine service received the same opportunities for a share with those long engaged, so apparently it is to be in the end of the Gospel Age. As greater knowledge of Present Truth is now coming as a reward to all in the Lord's vineyard, let us not be surprised if this shall be equally distributed to those recently coming in and to those long in the Master's service. Let not our hearts be angry because the Lord is gracious to those who have entered His service even, during the eleventh hour. Are they not brethren? Any feeling on the part of those long in Divine service that they must have more manifestation of the Lord's favor now is evidently wrong. Lesson of the Golden Text. Our Golden Text tells us that as our God is gracious, loving, merciful, kind, even to the unthankful, the unjust, to sinners, so we should be kind, generous, loving, should do good unto all as we have opportunity, especially to the Household of Faith. The more we study this God of Love, the more we realize that He is the Some Murmured. only loving and true God, and that our previous misconceptions were unreal, untrue—gods of our own manufacture—and the more do we see that civilized lands have made with pen, ink and paper, creed idols more horrible than any which the heathen ever made of iron, stone, brass or clay. Let us hold fast the sure Word of God, and discard the theories of the Dark Ages, which greatly misrepresent to us the Divine Message. NASHVILLE NEGROES Own Seven Millions of Real Estate and Have Three Millions in Bank. Marvelous Economic Progress of the Race in Tennessee's Capital City. By Ralph W. Tyler There is a delightful aroma of culture pervading this Fiskized city that is only equalled by the traditional hospitality of its citizens, and I refer especially to the Negro citizens. The atmosphere which dear old Fiske University has germinated here has produced some splendid men and women, and invigorated activity. Nashville has a powerful lever for business progress among Negroes here in its Negro Board of Trade, which evolved from its Negro Business League. I have previously stated that in every city I have visited where there exists a strong, active Negro business organization there one finds business progress. The Negro Board of Trade here, of which that most excellent gentleman, strong and efficient business man, J. C. Napier, is president, has, and is doing much for the Negroes of this city. The Negroes of this city have $7,000,000 in real estate standing on the tax books in their names. Wonderfull They have $3,000,000 in cash on deposit in the local banks here to their credit. Marvelous! They have two banks of their own here that are being efficiently conducted, and which are proving that the Negro, as a promoter of financial institutions, is no nondescript. The Dime Savings Bank, off which Dr. R. H. Boyd is president, and J. C. Napier cashier and guiding genius, is the oldest, and so wisely has it been conducted that were it to go into voluntary liquidation today it could pay depositors dollar for dollar, and pay stockhielders, including the sixty-seven percent dividends already paid, $1.95 for every dollar invested in its stock. Nashville has a Negro-owned cemetery which for size, beauty and care taken of it, surpasses anything of its kind in the country. Nashville has a pleasure park for Negroes, purchased, improved and conducted by Preston Taylor, that has no counterpart in the country, when you consider area, natural beauty, amusements and character of its buildings and other improvements. Nashville is the home of the Baptist Publishing House, that wonderfully systematized young, giving employment to 150 young Colored men and women, which was founded by Dr. R. H. Boyd. And this city is the home of the A. M. E. Publishing House whose success has been made secure by Ira T. Bryant's efficient management. The largest nursery and horticulture plant in this city is the one owned and long conducted by a Negro, Joe Brown, and known far and wide as The Lischy Nursery and Green Houses. The three days spent in this city, carefully investigating every phase of Negro life, but especially the race's interest in business, convinced me that the forty thousand Negroes of this city have registered a high water mark of business, of economical success equalled by but few communities, and surpassed by none. Here you will find the race actively, and successfully, engaged as manufacturers, printers, publishers, furniture dealers, electricians, bankers, grocers, real estate agents, merchandising, transfer, theatrical, architects, etc., etc. Taken as a whole, this is a community of Negroes who are strongly religious, but who, as Dr. Boyd has urged, have put business into their religion. The religious intensity of the people here is evidenced by the fact that there are 52 Baptists, 37 A.M.E., 3 Presbyterian, 3 Congregational, 1 Catholic, 1 Church of God, 3 Christian, 1 United Brethren and 1 Seventh Day Adventist church here—a total of 102 churches here to keep the good Negroes of Nashville from unceremoniously invading his satanic majesty's domains. There are thirteen public schools here, and five Negro colleges, and these employ 147 teachers and professors. Sixty-two Negro physicians preserve the health of the community here, eight Negro dentists look after the care of the community's teeth, and nine Negro lawyers find sufficient civil and criminal practice to maintain good offices and an air of prosperity. Exclusive of the two banks, there are twenty-five corporations in this city of and under Negro control. It would be pretty hard for any community, however, under the spur of leadership of such men as J. C. Napier, Dr. R. H. Boyd, Preston Taylor, Henry Allen Boyd, A. N. Johnson and Ira T. Bryant, with others, not to make great advance in business as well as in civic pride and education. There is a fine reciprocal feeling existing, here between whites and Negroes, and I have also learned, in my travels through the country, and especially through the South, that in proportion as the Negro engages and makes success in business, just in that proportion is the respect of the white man for him increased and a better feeling of affiliation engendered. The millenium has not arrived here, that millenium which will usher in perfect equality and eliminate every kind of discrimination, but the progress being made here by the race in business, and educationally, is the molasses that is attracting the spirit of helpful reciprocation between the two races. I felt just as free in Nashville as I do when I am in some Northern city which once in a remote period, boasted of fairness to the race. A. N. Johnson, the undertaker whose equipages, in number and appearance perhaps are not equalled by any other Negro in the South, while nominally engaged in burying Negroes, is also energetically engaged in bettering the condition of the living. He is a virile quantity in this bailiwick. Preston Taylor, reputed to be the wealthiest Negro in these parts, because of his hustling—strenuously hustling spirit, his ability to conceive and execute, has contributed greatly to the progress of the race here. And Dr. Boyd, that nestor of racial activity, has been of towering strength in the race development plan evolved by the Negro citizens of Tennessee's capital.

KLOCZEWSKI'S & CO., 701 G Street Northwest The Negro citizens here have some beautiful residences, and their exterior and interior, as well as the grounds surrounding, evince a degree of culture, refinement and taste one delights to meet up with. Fiske. Meharry and the other three colleges here have done much to improve conditions here, to make for civic betterment and educational progress, but the spirit which the National Negro Business League has injected into practically every Negro community in the land, is very largely the factor which has conducted to business progress here among the race. A Negro population that can boast of possessing real estate to the value of $7,000,000, and cash in bank to the amount of $3,000,000 needs no other recommendation to convince the world that it is a desirable class or that the race is making commendable progress. Some of the other Negroes who are contributing most effectively to business progress of the race in this city are: W. T. Hightower, W. D. Rucker, A. S. Rucker, W. G. Hymes, Wm. H. McGavick, Felix White, Eugene Price. H. S. Morton, and Assistant Cashier Langston of the Dime Savings Bank. As previously stated, the Negro Board of Trade, as an organization, and each member individually, is a powerful lever for business progress of the race here in Nashville. PARAGRAPHIC NEWS.

Bot the hardest work is not done around the nets while the contest is actually on; It is keeping in physical condition for such a match: Miss Clare Cassel of this city, nation al indoor tennis doubles champion, bas “complied twelve rules which, she de clares, must be rigidly adhered to be fore one can hope to win success a8 a tennis player They are: First, no golf; second, no candy; third, no dancing: fourth, no cigarettes; fifth, no reading at night; sixth, no wine or cocktails; seventh, no swimming on match days; eighth, massage after each day's play; ninth, Inncheon on 2 glass of milk and a sandwich; tenth, plenty of rallying exercise before each match; eleventh, drinking nothing during a match ex- cept barley water; twelfth, bed at 10 Dp. tm. and nine full hours’ undisturbed aleep. Miss Cassel in telling of the work necessary to keép in condition and the strength necessary for a game says: “No matter bow primed a man really 4s, a five set match Gnds him all in. He has to play harder to win—or lose— than any man who goes through nine innings of baseball.

WARTS THREE GOVERNORS. Suggests shat thie Becy Mave Super- vision of All the Governmental Af- falre—Would Replace Many Offices and Bureaus and Control All Features ef Development In Territory, ‘Washington. — In a report sent to Senator Key Pittman and Represcnta- tive Willam C. Houston, chairmen of the senate and house committees on territories respectively, Secretary Lane of the interior department urges the creation of a development board to have complete control of the natural resources of Alaska. Bills for the creation of boards or commissions to administer the govern. ment of Alaska have been introduced in the senate by Senator Chamberlain of Oregon and in the house by Delegate ‘Wickersham of Alaska. These bills differ only in detail, and the general purpose of both is in accord with the Tecommendation of Secretary Lane. ‘The development plan urged by the secretary provides for a board of three members, appointed by the president and confirmed by the senate, which is to have beadquarters in Alaska and is to be charged with the general conduct of all governmental affairs connected with the natural resources and development of the territory. “It Is proposed and urged,” says Afr Lane, “that the board shall take over such authority now exercised by va: rious departments and bureaus as may be necessary to give it supervision over practically the entire public domatr and all the natural resources of Alaska and control of such activities as are closely related and essential to the de. velopment of the physica! resources of the country. “The board would do the work now done in Alaska by the general land of. fice, the forest service, the road com mission, the bureau of mines, the bu. reau of education and the secretary o! the interior, It should take over a part of the work and authority of the bu: reau of Gsheries. Beginning at th shore Ine, the development board should have complete control of all governmental activities and interests connected with the development of tn dustries and transportation~ and the settling of the country. : “This should tnelude the control o water powers, building and mainte nance of roads and trails and operatior and rates of the railroads and tele graph Ines, It should include protec tion and control of game, fur bearing animals, public Iands, mineral depos its, coal. olf, gas, bot springs, timber lands and timber.” Secretary Lane also urges that thi: board should take over the supervi sion of educational work among thi Indians and natives, the reindeer in dustry, control of the surveyor gener al's office and the'superviston in co-op eration with the department of agri culture of agricultural experiments anc demonstration work In the territory. It is pointed out in the report that a Present each of at least a score of Gov ernment bureaus in Wasbington divid ed among the rarious departments ba: something to do with the governmen of Alaska’ and that there ts a vas amount of red tape and circumlocutio1 in the administration of public affair under this system. Instances ate given in the report o delays of several years in the handlin; of uncomplicated land and other mat ters which should have been promptl! disposed of. “There must be new and simple ma chinery.” says Mr, Lane. “The nev policy 1s not to invite a few men to ex ploit the cream of Alaska’s riches, bu to develop all the resources and pos sibilities of the territory harmonious!; for the best Interests of both the peo ple who go to Alaska and the peop! of the United States who own thi great public domain.” Mr, Lane points out that there an now only S62 miles of wagon roads G17 miles of sled runds and 2,166 mile of tralls in the whole of Alaska, fo the construction and maintenance 0 which about $2,600,000 bas been spent Be urges that roads and trails ar as essential to the opening of Alask: tO settlement as railroads, and tha these roads for several years to com " must be built by the government. ‘The relndcer Industry, now monopc lized by the natives, Mr. Lane look upon as the beginning of a great fr Coffin Ready, Killa Himself.

JONES. ‘A Decision That Interests the Col- ored American—Right of Inheri- tance Denied by the Supreme Court of the United States. Memphis, Tenn., June 29.—The re cent decision handed down by the Supreme Court of the United States, in the case of Jones vs. Jones, through Mr. Justice Lurton denying the contention that the right of in- heritance is a natural right, is of widespread interest to colored people not only because the decision came through a case involving the status of former slaves, hut particularly be- cause the decision upholds the argu- ment of B. F. Booth, the celebrated colored Tawyer, who won out against an array of white lawyers of the highest standing. The litigation last- ed for several years... _ The case has been widely quoted i the press, and in many quarters the garbled reports created the wrong impression. Contrary to be- lief here and there, the decision does not prohibit slave husbands nor slave wives from directly inheriting one from the other, nor does it conflict with’ the orderly — inheri- tance of sons and daughters from their parents, whether once slaves or not. What the decision declares is that the right to hold and transmit property, since it is a bestowed and not, a natural right, is to he left to the laws and statutes of the several States. and does not come under the operation of the Federal Constitu- tion. The-issue involved a very high point in the law and gives relief to many fawyers who have heen trou- Med with it in all the southern courts since the war. The plaintiffs, Witt Jones and oth- ers, brothers and sisters of John Jones. an ex-slave who died ‘near Memphis leaving many acres of fihe land, held that they bad an inherita- Wle interest in the property. They were repfesented hy Banks and Har- ralson. Cockroft and Odell and W. P. Metcalfe, all distinguished white members of the Tennessee bar. The defendant, Marguerite Jones, widow of Jolin Jones. who denied. under the | Tennessee law, that the brothers and sisters, had any right of collateral in- heritance, was represented hy Booth Jof Memphis. who had no associate }counsel, fighting the case’ alone | through the courts of Tennessee and |the Supreme Court at Washington. WH. Harralson made the argu- ‘|ment for the’ plaintiffs before the ‘| high courts of Tennessee and the '| Supreme Court at Washington. while | Mr. Booth appeared for the defendant in all the hearings. Mr. Harralgon | invoked the fourteenth amendment to | the Constitution in his behalf, his ci- || tations emphasizing the spirit of that amendment, which prohibits discrim- |ination against any citizen and which '|was designed to relieve the disabili- | ties of colored people. | In a remarkable argument Mr. | Booth contended that the fourteenth amendment hestowed upon colored people recently slaves only civil and | political rights, and that the several states alone have the right to define {the holdings and rights of property Jand the rule of inheritance. He | strongly denied that any discrimina- tion had been practiced against_the plaintiffs in the decisions of the Ten- Jnessce courts, not only hecause all parties to the suit are persons of color, but because already in a cele- | brated case the Supreme Court, deal- | ing only with white persons. had pre- viously held that certainly alleged | brothers and sisters had no inherita- Jble right in property interests. So- cial conditions in times of slavery, it would scem, made it increasingly doubtful that sisters and brothers could establish their identity heyond all dispute. As decided the case docs not touch upon the rights of citizen- | ship of colored Americans, for noth- Jing in that respect was involved. | Tt was left for this celebrated col- Jored lawyer to contribute the most | succinct observation defining citizen- |ship in the United States, for Mr. Booth said to the Supreme Court: |“A citizen of Tennessee cannot in- | voke the aid of the fourteenth amend. ‘}ment. nor of the statutes enacted in |aid thereof, where his claim is limit- Jed to that of a citizen of a State, and [not a citizen of the United States. }for no such right is reserved by the -| (Federal) Constitution.” (| Mr. Booth, widely respected for his }|areat’ learning in the law, has per ;|haps the largest practice of any col: :}ored lawyer in the South. f} Some time during the month o t} August the Negro Press Associatior 1} will meet in Muskogee, Okla. _ Edi ome anti —.. & f 727 7th Street, Northwest Extends his congratulations to THE WASHINGTON BEE and invites its patrons to his store, where all kinds of jewelry and other goods may be seen and purchased at reasonable prices. oe 727 Seventh ‘Street, Northwest CULTIVATE YOUR HAIR * - BY USING MME, C, J.

In a paper read recently at the Literary Club, Charles L. Hutchinson assembled the following answers to the world-old question: "What is art?" "Art is nature passed through the "Art is nature passed through the alembic of man."—Emerson. "Art is the middle quantity between the thought and the thing."—Coleridge. "Art is nature expressed through a personality."—William Morris. "Art is expression of pleasure in work."—William Morris. "Art is everything which we distinguish from nature."—Andrew Lang. guish from nature."—Andrew Lang. "Art is an action by means of which one man having experienced a feeling, intentionally transmits 'it to others.'"—Tolstoi. "Art is rhythmic expression of feeling."—Harold Speed. "Art is the expression of the invisible by means of the visible."—Fromentin. "Art is that imaginative expression of human energy which through technical concretion of feeling and perception, tends to reconcile the individual with the universe by exciting in him impersonal emotion, and the greatest art is that which excites the greatest impersonal emotion in an hypothecated perfect human being."—Galsworthy. In a preliminary discussion of the riddle by a few people around a dining table, Mr. Hutchinson's own definition, "Art is a mode of expression," was briefer than any of these, and Oliver Dennett Grover put the artist's idea of his trade into one burning word by applying to art Gen. Sherman's famous definition of war. Art is man's imitation of God, would be my contribution to the subject. It is man's effort to create in his own image, to make a visible or audible reflection of his own thought. It is the challenge man flings at Time, the destroyer; it is man's effort to defeat the old villain by making, with imperishable words or colors, metals or marbles, something too beautiful to perish. For neither men nor nations like to die. They would fain live in the spirit after they have passed away from their allotted place and hour on earth. They long to lead posterity by the hand and tell it what to think and feel. And art is the most effective means man has thus far achieved by which that intangible breath from the unknown which he calls life may take form in materials firmer than flesh and carry his message to future ages. An Appeal for Twenty-five Thousand Dollars. The Industrial Union Training School and Orphanage, located a mile west of Southern Pines, N.C., is doing a much needed work for the Negroes. Rev. Henderson, in his untiring effort to interest and teach his race how to do things, and become intelligent citizens, demonstrates the fact that he is the right man in the right place, as principal of the school. There is not a single Negro school more capable of training students, than the one which has for a leader a practical mechanic and agriculturist. The school comprises a campus of ten acres, with ten one and two-story frame houses, and a three-story school house, with printing department in the basement; a farm about a mile distant from the campus, is cultivated by students and orphans. The work has been greatly hampered by lack of funds, and an appeal is now being made for twenty-five thousand dollars, to complete buildings now in course of erection, and put various trades in operation. The citizens of Southern Pines and vicinity, endorse the work of the Rev. James Henderson and the Industrial Union Training School and Orphanage, and praying that the good people of the North will help him financially. Jeanes Fund Committee Meets. New York City, June 27.—An executive committee meeting of the Jeanes Fund Board was held in the rooms of the General Education Board, 17 Battery Place, Wednesday morning, June 24. Present at the meeting were Dr. Booker T. Washington, Chairman of the Executive Committee; Dr. James H. Dillard, president of the Fund; Major R..R. Moton, secretary; Dr. S. C. Mitchell, Richmond Medical College, Richmond, Va.; Hon. J. C. Napier, former Register of the U. S. Treasury, Nashville, Tenn.; Mr. E. J. Scott, secretary of the Tuskegee Institute, was on motion asked to sit with the Board during its deliberations. The Board controls a fund of one million dollars, the interest upon which some forty thousand dollars is spent in the South each year among the rural schools for colored people. The report of the year's work was most interesting. Fair Play for the Negro. A fair and sensible answer to a considerably vexed question, is that of President Wilson, when he says that in the event of changes in Federal offices now held by Negroes, he will appoint other Negroes to such offices. In this way, the President recognizes the claims of the Negro race to representation in the administration of Federal offices, and he accomplishes this end, without any disturbing or radical upheavals in the administrative branches of the government, and without intensifying bitterness, or going counter to the fundamental principles of just apportionment of patronage and consideration of the public welfare, which should govern both maintenance of men in office, and changes when such shall prove necessary.—Buffalo Times (Dem.).

On June 27, 1914, in the House of Representatives, Mr. Park introduced the following bill, which was referred to the Committee on Military Affairs and ordered to be printed: A Bill To make it unlawful to appoint as commissioned or non-commissioned officers in the Army or Navy of the United States any person of the Negro race. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled. That from and after the passage of this Act it shall be unlawful for persons of the Negro race to be designated, elected, or appointed commissioned or non-commissioned officers in the Army or Navy of the United States.
