The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, with headquarters in New York City, is planning to provide for the transportation of delegates from the Eastern territory—New York City, Boston, Philadelphia, Wilmington, Baltimore and Washington, and for all eastern delegates who plan to be present at the meeting. A special Pullman car will be provided if enough delegates signify their intention of making the trip. Pullman Car Accommodations It is proposed to mobilize at Memphis, Tennessee, delegates from the States of Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, Louisiana and Tennessee, at which point a-Special Standard Pullman car train, with baggage car and dining car, will be provided. The Pullman car rate from Montgomery and Birmingham to Muskogee will be approximately $5 to $6 for single reservations. Delegates living in Florida are especially urged to communicate at once with Mr. Charles H.

Attwell, president of the Alabama State Negro Business League, Tuskegee Institute, Alabama; Tennessee delegates, with Mr. T. H. Hayes, member of the Executive Committee, 247 Poplar Street, Memphis, Tennessee; Mississippi delegates, with Mr. Charles Banks, president of the Mississippi State Negro Business League, Mound Bayou, Mississippi. Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina delegates should address Mr. H. H. Hunt, district passenger agent of the Rock Island Railway, 18 North Pryor Street, Atlanta, Georgia. for information. Arkansas delegates will assemble at Little Rock. Arkansas. Hon. J. E. Bush, Masaic Templar Hall, and Hon. Scipio A. Jones, both of Little Rock and both officers of the National Organization, are making arrangements for a special Pullman car for Arkansas delegates and will be pleased to hear from persons in that State who are expecting to be present at the Oklahoma meeting. It is especially desired that the delegates should notify the gentlemen in the States named above as early as possible as to their intentions so that reservations may be made for them in the Pullman cars, which are being provided for the accommodation of the several State delegations. Mr. R. W. Tyler, National Organizer, 928 T Street Northwest, Washington, D. C., in co-operation with Mr. F. H. Gilbert, registrar, 15 Douglas Street, Brooklyn, New York, and Mr. Fred R. Moore, editor New York Age, 247 West 40th Street, New York City, is arranging for a special Pullman car over the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad from eastern points. These gentlemen will be pleased to hear from any persons intending to be present who live in their immediate sections. Special Features The Muskogee Negro Business League and the Oklahoma State Negro Business League are working with might and main to have the Muskogee meeting surpass any previous meeting of the National organization. It has been provided for the daily sessions to be held at Convention Hall, Second Street, in the heart of the city of Muskogee. The convention headquarters are centrally located, being not more than three minutes' walk from five of the leading railway stations of the city, viz.: Missouri, Kansas and Oklahoma; Missouri, Oklahoma and Gulf; Iron Mountain, Midland Valley and Frisco Railway stations. Muskogee, Oklahoma, is a beautiful city of 30,000 population, 9,800 of whom are Negroes. Muskogee has sixty-three miles of street paving, and thirty-one miles of street railway. It is on the main line of the great Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railway, only one night's ride from Kansas City, and one's night ride from Dallas, Texas. A special train has been chartered by the Oklahoma State and the Muskogee Local Negro Business League, for the purpose of visiting Boley, Oklahoma, the largest Negro city in the United States, leaving Muskogee Saturday morning, August 22, at 7:30 o'clock. The train will pass through some of the richest land, in the world, not only adapted to all classes of agricultural products, but underlaid with inexhaustible mines of valuable coal and the most extensive oil fields in the world; much of this valuable land is owned by Negroes. The officers of the National Organization propose at Muskogee, if possible, to increase the Endowment Fund of the League to ten thousand dollars, the interest of which is to be used in paying a portion of the annual expenses of the national organizer, whose time is wholly devoted to organizing and strengthening local leagues. There are now some 600 local leagues and it is desired to double this number within the next year. Further information as to the general arrangements for the Muskogee meeting, if desired, may be secured from Emmett J. Scott, Secretary, Tuskegee Institute, Alabama.

Of the Detroit, Mich., Informer, to Be Appointed Recorder of Deeds. The President Has Made up His Mind. The First and Longest Supporter of the Democratic Party. IN MUSKOGEE, OKLAHOMA, AUGUST 19, 20, 21, 22, 1914. Isaac Fisher, Famous Prize Writer in National and International Essay Contests, Winner of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch Prize for "The Ten Best Reasons Why People Should Go to Missouri," Writes Ten Reasons Why Colored People Should Attend the National Business League of Negroes at Muskogee, Oklahoma. Over and above other arguments which come easily to my mind, the following ten reasons why colored people should attend the Business League at Muskogee seem to me very persuading: 1. Because the Business League of Negroes which meets there has grown to be the greatest and most accurate clearing house and bureau of information relative to the material progress of the Negro that exists anywhere. If you want to know what the Negro is doing in real "Big Business," you have to get the facts from the National Negro Business League. Even the United Census Bureau have not the facts about the Negro's wealth. 2. The National Negro Business League is the great business university of the race. Every Negro in business and those who plan to enter it should see this university in session and learn the secrets of business suc cess from colored men and women in many commercial pursuits who have already succeeded, have "delivered the goods," are still delivering them, and doing more business every year. 3. Because the trip will mean inspiration and encouragement. The largest number of successful colored business men and women ever brought together on North American soil will assemble at Muskogee to tell their stories of strivings and success. To see and hear these Negroes—the people who, but fifty years removed from slavery, today, nevertheless, count their wealth in millions of dollars—will gladden the heart and encourage the race. Success is stimulating and contagious. It would be a God-send if every colored family carried their children to Muskogee to let them see what the race is doing and let them witness one of the bright promises of the better day coming for the race. 4. To see the swiftly vanishing Indians—"The Red Men of the Plains"—many of whose ancestors owned Negro slaves; and to compare the progress of the American Indian with that of the American Negro. Muskogee was the chief town of the Creek Nation and was the headquarters of the United States Agency to the Five Civilized Tribes—the Creeks, Cherokees, Choctaws, Chickasaws and the Seminoles. The United States Government spends ten million dollars every year to educate, support, feed, clothe and further aid many of its In- dian wards. It guards their health, legislates to improve their morals, appropriates money to encourage them to habits of thrift and industry and acts as their general guardian. The Negro has not had this aid and does not receive it now, excepting a small sum spent on the "Land Grant Colleges." Go and see for yourself whether the colored man is keeping up with his red brother. 5. To see Negroes govern a city and do it properly. A special train is to be run from Muskogee to Boley, the largest Negro town in the United States. Go and see for yourself what the race can do in practical government. 6. To see that Southern State where only 17.7 per cent of the colored people are illiterate, and which, with the exception of the District of Columbia, has the lowest percentage of illiteracy of the seventeen South Atlantic, East South Central and West South Central States, including Delaware, Maryland and the District of Columbia, Oklahoma, because of her good schools, has 5.6 per cent only of her population illiterate. 7. To look out for new business prospects, Oklahoma is a great agricultural and stock-raising State; has the greatest natural gas region known to the world; has the most extensive oil wells in the world. Her former geologist estimates that it will take 100 years to exhaust the supply. Oklahoma has seventy-nine billion tons of coal; has such splendid resources for bottle and window-glass making that these industries, formerly located in Indiana and Kansas, are being moved to Oklahoma. Negroes own much of these valuable lands mentioned above. This State has 39,525 acres of Government land waiting to be taken; has attracted the attention of capitalists in Europe and America, and they are pouring millions of dollars into the State. She has room for many new settlers. She has only 137,612 Negroes. Go and "spy out the land." 8. The trip will be a much-needed vacation, in addition to the fact that what one sees and hears at the League will be worth dollars. Everyone must have rest and, change if life is to be prolonged. Among other things for entertainment, there will be a beautiful parade showing what colored people in the State are doing, and a fair will furnish additional pleasures. 9. The trip will be comparatively inexpensive and will be made in comfort. Muskogee is near the States where most of the colored people live. Pullman cars will be provided, if enough persons wish them. Muskogee is easily reached from all points in America. The meet will be held in a hall not over three minutes' walk from any of the five railroads running into Muskogee. 10. To see, "face to face and eye to eye," the most remarkable character of our day—Dr. Booker T. Washington—and hear him talk hard "horse sense," common sense—the kind that is not near so common, as it should me; the kind that made him famous and his name known in all civilized lands. ISAAC FISHER. COLORED CITIZENS BARRED Over Nnieety Thousand in the District—Little or No Representation in the Local Government—Commissioners Siddons and Newman Believe in Fair Play. There are ninety thousand colored people in this city, paying taxes on several millions of dollars worth of property, and they comply in every way with all the laws and police regulations that govern the city. The local government, which is controlled by a Board of Commissioners, has about four or five colored clerks, but they hold no representative position, and neither is a representative place of any kind held by a colored citizen. Why should there be so much discrimination? Why can't there be a few colored citizens employed in the Fire Department? Why should there be so much discrimination? The Bee will say that there is less discrimination under the present Board of Commissioners than under the former Board of Commissioners. There are a few holdovers, Republicans understrappers, still retained in office, under the District government, who are more inimical to colored employees than the Democrats are. Such a man is Auditor Petty. Although a Democrat, he is a high-toned and a polished gentleman. There are a few quasi-Republican hold-overs who have no regard or reflect for a colored employee. No colored man has any chance of being promoted under these so-called Republican heads of certain departments. A colored clerk should have been promoted a few weeks ago, but his promotion was blocked by a hold-over Republican. There is no colored clerk in the Water Department, although several competent colored men. The colored man stands a poor chance in the Assessor's Office and Health Department. If Commissioners Newman and Siddons would chop off a few hold-over heads, perhaps deserving colored men would stand some chance of appointment under the local government. In India, malaria is common and one-sixth of the world's supply of quinine is consumed in that country. BISHOP A. WALTERS "What will Bishop Walters do Now?" This is the Question that has Been Asked. He Explains His Position in the Democratic Party. He Advocates a Negro Party. He Blames Taft and Roosevelt for Negro Segregation—The Democratic Party Not Always to Blame and Neither Does He Excuse It for Its Actions Toward the "Colored Americans—Takes up Negro Dismissals and Demotions. Bishop Alexander Walters of New Jersey was in the city last week, the guest of Mrs. Smith. A representative of The Bee found him at Mrs. Smith, the widow of the late Bishop J. W. Smith. After a brief exchange of sentiments on social and political topics, among other things the distinguished Bishop said: That he had read in a certain magazine an article entitled, "What Will Bishop Walters Do Now?" The good bishop handed The Bee the reply to this inquiry, which it finds interesting to publish, which is as follows: I have read your editorial entitled "What Will Bishop Walters Do Now" with interest and profit, and am grateful to you for your complimentary references as to my leadership, etc. In answer to your question, "What will Bishop Walters do now?" I desire to state that before I severed my relations with the Republican party and united with the Democratic party I counted the cost. I knew that I would be misunderstood and misrepresented, for with a large number of Afro-Americans, the Republican party is a fetish, and for a Negro to trust and worship it is considered an unpardonable sin. I knew that I and my associates would be the victims of the severest criticisms and vituperation, but having in common with others the interest of the race, I decided to stand the storm and let the future justify my action. It is known to us all that it is the Democratic party that is in control in the South, and it is in the South where the majority of our people live, and it appeared to me that the work of the hour was to do something to change the Negroes' political condition throughout the South for the better. The important question with us was, what method we should adopt to bring about this end. It was thought that since the Republican party abandoned us to our fate, an alignment with the Democratic party was the best way out of the difficulty, that by so doing we would arouse a new interest in the Republican party and bring to our support the Northern and Western Democrats, thus killing two birds with one stone. It was and is our hope that the Northern and Western Democrats would and will be able to influence the South to the extent that they will be willing to restore to us the ballot, and repeal its inimical legislation; but we did not expect this to be done within a year or two, for we were aware of the difficulty of the task, and believed it was the proper method to pursue, and knew that eventually our object would be accomplished. We cannot believe that the Democrats of the South are not influenced by the progress we have made in the last fifty years. It is hardly possible for him to talk forever about the Boston Tea Party, and Taxation without representation, and remember that the Afro-American is paying taxes on millions and millions of dollars of real estate, and still deny to him the right of franchise, we cannot believe that the leaders of the Democratic party of the South are aware that there are an half a million Negroes voting in the northern, eastern and western States, and in a short while will be a million, and still ignore this tremendous force in politics. The policy cannot be otherwise but suicidal. The South is just as sure to lose out in its efforts to keep the Negro from the ballot box as it was in its efforts to keep them in slavery. And it is our duty, and our work, to keep these things to the fore—to hammer on the stone until it breaks. When Pat was asked after he had broken open a large stone what blow did the work, he answered. My Lord, it was every blow. Our efforts may be feeble now, but like the first efforts of Pat, they are having their effect. When northern Democratic legislators realize that they are being kept out of office, by the votes of colored men, on account of unfair treatment of the white men of the South, they will find a way to induce them to grant to the black man in the South the ballot. And so far as I am concerned, unless the present administration gives the black man a square deal, I will not advise the colored man to vote the national Democratic ticket, but on the other hand, will urge them to vehemently to vote against. Segregation. Every manly and self-respecting Negro is against segregation in the government, in any form, and must and will fight it, at all times and in (Continued to page 4.)

It is very strange that many members of the police force continue to use their battons upon the heads of prisoners, and more especially the Negroes. Now, some of the most dangerous individuals in this community are arrested by colored officers; very seldom are any of these men brought in with broken skulls or broken ribs. The white officer, who appears in court with colored prisoners in such a condition invariably places a charge of assault against him. Many of those new officers appointed on the force are from Virginia or elsewhere, who believe in using their batton on a colored man's head. In many instances there is no necessity of using the batton. There has only been one case where a colored officer had to go to the extreme, and that was when his life was in danger. He then had to kill in self defense. Colored officers on the force have made good records. They deserve to be promoted, when an opportunity is afforded. It is believed that Commissioner Siddons, who has charge of the police department, will see to it that this brutality resorted to is stopped. He will also see that colored citizens get a fair show in the police department notwithstanding the opposition of the petty subordinates. HAVE SOME SENSE. We have heard in some quarters that a few colored people have expressed the hope that the United States may become somehow involved in the European embroglio, now absorbing the attention and exciting the apprehensions of the entire world. We have failed to learn the reasons they assign, but we have been informed that they are of the thoughtless, jingo set, who are only too fond of excitement of any kind. It may be stated that the colored people are intensely patriotic and are hopeful that this country will not be drawn into a hostile attitude. They may have their complaints due to the unfair treatment at the hands of a powerful rabidly prejudiced minority, but they are true to best interests of the nation and hopeful of eventual fair treatment at the hands of the great American people. But, should this nation become involved in the war, it will find more of its citizens more loyal, more brave or more ready to espouse its cause than would be the colored people. We deplore the foolish vaporings of these alleged braggots and counsel them to follow the great majority of the colored people who are for this country first, last and all the time. The hour counsels calm, judicious behavior and a close adherence to all that the present neutrality of this nation implies. Above all, foolish colored blatants, hold your foolish tongues and thereby "assume a virtue if you have it not." WAR If men who declared war was responsible for it, they would not be ready to go to war. It is a very easy matter to tell the other fellow to fight battles that we would not enter ourselves, but if the other fellow acted stubborn and told us to do the fighting there would not be so many wars. Germany could have averted war with Russia and France by accepting the advice of Great Britain. Now, just think of it! Thousands, if not millions of lives are to be sacrificed to satisfy the personal pique of some dissatisfied statesmen. The Bee dislikes to see war, but, if there was a skirmish among the Southern crackers and some manly South American nation, The Bee would welcome it. There is one thing certain, that this present war is one in which there is no Negro issue. Thanks be to the Lord. FAD REFORMS. That social reforms are necessary, and that many have recently been advocated and successfully applied with splendid results, goes without saying. But it is equally true that an equal or greater number of so-called blow-in-the-bottle reform nostrums have been advocated and adopted which, while appearing to be measures of permanent utility from superficial viewpoints, are nothing more than temporary counter irritants more deleterious in their reaction than the evils they are supposed to cure. At best, these latter act as so many serums or antitoxins which now constitute the fad-treatment in the interminable list of physical ailments; all claiming to be specifics and but few, if any, proving of the efficacy claimed for them. At present there are "discoveries" in the shape of injections for the eradication of such diseases as rheumatism, pneumonia, pleurisy, peritonitis, boils, eczema, ague, whooping cough, scarlet, typhoid and yellow fevers, diphtheria, and the rest. But few of these are beyond the experimental stage and fewer still of permanent value, mainly because they are not sufficiently far-reaching. Scientific experimentation has been given such impetus through a few important and useful discoveries and extensive advertisement with their prospective profits that the medical market is fairly glutted with so-called "serum cures" to the prejudice of skilful medical practitioners and the demoralization of humanity in general. The inutility of most of the products of vivisection arises from the very limited extent to which they may be applied. Take typhoid fever and tuberculosis for instances. The former is a disgrace to the country. It is acknowledged to be easily prevented by a wise application of sanitary measures, and in view of the terrible consequences of its prevalence at comparatively insignificant cost. If this be true, why not apply the natural remedy, which is correct sanitation? The same applies, to diphtheria. "Why then should monkeys and dogs be purposely infected" with such diseases, "in order to find a cure or immunizer that can be sold by drug-gists and squirited into the veins of healthy people?" Is it "because we'd rather be lazy and dirty and be inoculated with foul matter from the body of a sick animal than take the trouble to keep clean and well?" As to tuberculosis, similar measures are indicated. Child labor, overworked adults, intemperance, insanity factories, workshops and tenements, and prostitution are the principal contributing causes; and can be best corrected or evaded by intelligent treatment rather than by doubtful nostrums. Similarly, are many of the social inequalities and diseases treated by so-called social purity movements. The fad of "social service" has run insanely riotous—it lacks scientific knowledge, rational treatment and sincere, conscientious, systematic effort. The cry has been to rid the city of alleys; and to some extent this has been done. And yet what has been done to provide suitable tenements for their erstwhile inhabitants? The alleys were pronounced to be the hotbeds of disease and vice and crime. What has been done to correct or eradicate these? The "red-light" section was the objective toward the removal of which a concerted movement was inaugurated, and successfully effected by those in high places. What efforts do we discover to stay the tide of commercialized prostitution? Where are these unfortunate, these hundred, persecuted lepers. Alas, they may be found inhabiting residential sections where it is difficult to locate or to treat them. That the "red-light district" should have been broken up is most true, and the effort is to be commended as far as it has gone. But like many of the serums, this has only reached the symptoms, without vigorously and successfully removing the cause. Touching matters of no inherent evil, but out of which the development of evil is possible, may be mentioned the nostrum of segregation, the application of which some self-righteous fadists have misconceived to be a proper moral move. Where is the "social service" in this? What has that nefarious and unchristian act done toward elevating its victims? Simply satisfied a mean and spiteful prejudice in the vain superstition that it magnifies the perpetuations. But to proceed further is useless. The point is that if social reform movements are to effect real, substantial and permanent forms, they must be conceived in the true Christian, humane helpful spirit. They must be scientifically applied and persistently pursued. Above all they must be no mere fad, no making broad the phacteries; but be conducted in the Christ spirit and more under the inspiration of the doctrine of the brotherhood of man and the Fatherhood of God. We have altogether too many fad social movements and too few practical helpful, elevating, permanently effective ones. A wiser discrimination among the colored people, between the fad social serums and the permanent social cures, would express more self-respect, judgment and real service than this foolish imitation of every movement good or bad, to be found among white fadists and misguided notorious seekers. Build from below, upward and outward. That social reforms are necessary, and advocated and successfully applied with paying. But it is equally true that a called blow-in-the-bottle reform now adopted which, while appearing to be from superficial viewpoints, are nothing but more deleterious in their reaction to cure. At best, these latter act as which now constitute the fad-treat physical ailments; all claiming to be a king of the efficacy claimed for them.

Take the instances. The former is a disgrace, and in view of the terrible consequence, insignificant cost. If this be remedied, why is correct sanitation? Why then should monkeys and dogs diseases, in order to find a cure or ingest and squirred into the veins of we'd rather be lazy and dirty and be the body of a sick animal than take the As to tuberculosis, similar measures worked adults, intemperance, insanity, and prostitution are the principle be best corrected or evaded by intelligent doubtful nostrums.

The "red-light" removal of which a concerted successfully effected by those in high place to stay the tide of commercialized portunates, these hundred, persecuted inhabiting residential sections where them. That the "red-light district" is true, and the effort is to be common many of the serums, this has only reasonably and successfully removing the inherent evil, but out of which the die be mentioned the nostrum of segregate self-righteous fadists have not move. Where is the "social service" and unchristian act done toward eleven a mean and spiteful prejudice in the perpetuations. But to proceed for if social reform movements are to be sent forms, they must be conceived helpful spirit. They must be scientific sued. Above all they must be no malacteries; but be conducted in the Co-spiration of the doctrine of the broth of God. We have altogether too many practical helpful, elevating, per discrimination among the colored people and the permanent social cures, woments and real service than this food good or bad, to be found among who seekers.

The public is cordially invited. VACATION SCHOOL AT THE MAGRUDER The inauguration of the Vacation School in the city of Washington by Superintendent Ernest L. Thurston, solves a great problem in education from an economical as well as a pedagogical point of view, for it is already quite evident that time and energy are minimized for the pupil and much expense saved the parent and government. At the Magruder Playgrounds fifty pupils were enrolled, ranging in grades from the first through the eighth, with several applicants from the high schools. Fifty per cent of those in regular attendance have made up their deficiencies and will be recommended for promotion with their classes in the fall. Considering then that the cost per capita for the education of children in the District is about $13.00 per annum, and that fifteen pupils are prepared by one teacher, at a salary of fifty dollars, to make their grades in the fall, it is quite evident that a sum of $595.00 per annum is saved the government as well as an average of $120 per annum saved the parent for the support of the child another year. With more teachers, a greater number of pupils could be prepared to make up their delinquencies and consequently more time, energy and money saved the pupil, parent and government respectively. So well has the work of the vacation school been correlated with the playground activities, that the children themselves have expressed their approval and willingness to attend by unusual punctuality and regularity. Parents who came to bring their little ones, often stayed to receive instruction in the industrial work done on the grounds. On Monday next, August 10, at 5:30 P. M., the children will hold their Field Day and Industrial Exhibit. Contests for the pennant in baseball and volleyball will be some of the exciting features of the evening, while sack races, three-leg races and wheelbarrow races will, to speak in a Miltonic strain, find "Laughter holding both his sides." Reed and raffia baskets of all shapes, sizes and designs will be on exhibition; embroidery, crochet and sewing of various textures will no doubt bespeak the worth of the playground movement throughout the city. The public is cordially invited to attend. WILL PROTECT THEM. Captain Doyle, of the Eiglith Precinct, has given assurance that the neighbors in the vicinity of Tenth Street, between Thirteenth and Fourteenth, shall be protected against pool and billiard saloons. It is a very easy matter for the Captain to present these pool and bowling alleys to the grand jury as public nuisances. Captain Doyle admits that the colored citizens are entitled to protection, and that he proposes to do everything in his power to protect them. It is quite evident that no Negro pool room or a noisy bowling alley could exist and neither would they be tolerated twenty-four hours in a white residential neighborhood. Captain Doyle declares that he will relieve the colored residents of this burden. The Bee believes that he will close up these places, notwithstanding the fact that the bowling alley is con- ducted by white men. As a matter of fact there are too many pool rooms in this city. Pool rooms should be limited and a strict watch placed over them. In addition to a fine or imprisonment for gambling or both, another penalty should be added to it. A few lashes upon the naked back would have a wholesome effect. Captain Falvy, of the Ninth Police Precinct, is taking hold of the duties of his office as becomes a fair minded, conscientious, efficient and painstaking police official. In the matter of some of the reported injustices and irregularities which have in recent years been tolerated, and which have been alleged to have been even encouraged, he is now personally engaged in investigating, with the view to their correction if found as alleged. We HE'S ALL RIGHT. congratulate Captain Falvy, and assure him that all good residents of the Northeast will do everything in their power to make his administration a signal and eloquent success. Of one thing The Bee is assured; he will find no one more grateful or helpful people in that section than may be found in the colored residents of the Northeast. COL. JACKSON The Bee's esteemed friend, Col. Giles B. Jackson, writes and informs it, that he was misunderstood in his letter to Senator Martin, of Virginia, in his request for an appropriation by Congress to enable the colored people of Virginia to show, in an exhibition, what they have done since their emancipation. Col. Jackson fully explains his position in which The Bee fully agrees. He doesn't desire to convey the inference that the colored man is not seeking or doesn't want an office, but that the members of his, Jackson's committee, don't want an office nor are they seeking office. The Bee stands corrected, and the explanation of Col. Jackson is fully explained in his letter to The Bee, which it requests its readers and patrons to read and digest. NUTTER AND LIGHTFOOT. NUTTER AND LIGHTFOOT. The Atlantic City, N.J., grand jury returned true bills of indictment against our friends Messrs. James A. Lightfoot, editor of the Atlantic City, N.J., Advocate, and a member of the New Jersey bar, and Isaac N. Nutter, also a member of the New Jersey bar. The circumstances are too frivolous and rediculous to relate, but to enable their friends to have a thorough and distinct knowledge of all the facts, The Bee has decided to publish them. The Bee has every confidence in the ability of these two young men to vindicate themselves, against political persecution and nothing more. The Bee congratulates its good friend Mr. James F. Armstrong, on his appointment as supervising principal of the county. The Bee leads, and all others follow, if they can. Senator Vardaman may interject the race issue in this Europeon war. There are a few sensible Democratic Senators in the South, who are able to make a reputation without attacking the Negro. The meeting of the Negro Business League in Oklahoma this month will be a great event. The prominent educator on the Board of Education, who is said to be interested in J. Moria Saunders, is uncertain himself. There will be a sensation in the board shortly that will startle the community. This educator, of whom R. W. Thompson speaks, and who insists on sending out lies in his correspondence, will hear a thing or two in a few days. PUBLIC MEN AND THINGS (By the Sage of the Potomac.) At Allen's Inn may be seen and heard daily and nightly dozens of near-statesmen, discussing the European war. They finally concluded that the Negro question has been laid aside for the present, at any rate. There is no possibility of these gentlemen being enlisted and neither will any of them declare his allegiance to any foreign power. They regret that the war can't reach any of the Southern States to occupy the attention of Senator Vardaman, Hoke Smith or Ben Tillman. Wars are great events to read about, but very sad to be witnessed. \* \* \* If reports are true, there are to be a few resignations in the Board of Education. There are some serious questions being considered by the authorities. If reports are true, a few resignations would be in order. I am not at liberty to disclose my information at present. A spontaneous combustion would cause some smoke. The questions that I am discussing are delicate. If the changes don't take place very soon, they will certainly take place next summer. There is a great demand for the return of Captain Oyster to the Board of Education. \*\*\* Speaking about the Board of Education, a man like Captain Oyster is greatly needed to put the schools in shape. Many of the subordinates are running away with the principals. When a teacher consults a board member to ascertain whether he must obey the superintendent, I am of the opinion that a change is absolutely necessary. It is now definitely settled that Mr. James A. Ross, of Buffalo, N. Y., will be the next Recorder of Deeds. President Wilson has made up his mind to appoint the New York editor. This is a recognition of a Negro journalist. If Mr. Ross goes into the Recorder's Office there will come some changes in the clerical force, no doubt. Ross, it will be remembered, is an original Democrat. He believes in the Democratic party, no matter what its faults have been and are now. Ross is strong with the New York politicians and they have made a demand for recognition. The greatest Negro Recorder this city has ever had was James C. Matthews, of Albany. Matthews was Recorder in deed and in fact. There are many Richmonds in the field, Cossey is out of the runnin. He made a mistake when he ran against Bishop Walters. He tried to belittle the power and influence of this great churchman. This will prove fatal to my friend Cossey. Whenever a politician gets so big that he imagines that he is greater than his country, it will not be long before he tumbles from the topmost rung of his popularity * * * Speaking about the Recorder's Office, if a Negro Recorder is not soon appointed it will not be long before a Republican will be appointed. It is almost seventeen months since the inauguration of President Wilson. There is but big fish left for these honest braves to eat on and that is the Recordership. Ohio has a candidate, but New York claims more Democratic Negroes than any State in the Union. *** I heard a story the other day which in itself is very amusing. Rev. Wilbank was invited to lay a cornerstone at Colonial Beach, and he wanted to get there by boat. He was invited to go down on the St. Johns. This distinguished prelate phoned to the office and asked for accommodations for his wife, several other churchmen and himself. He informed the captain, or whoever was in charge, what he wanted. He informed the captain that he was a colored man and, in fact, his entire party was colored. That made no difference responded the man at the other end of the phone. So when the distinguished minister presented himself at the wharf he met the Captain of St. John, for whom the boat was named. In a dignified air he remarked to the Captain that he was Rev. Wilbanks, the party who phoned for passage on his boat. In a soliloquizing attitude, the Captain remarked that there must be some mistake. "Oh," he said, "Rev. Wilbanks. I was assured that I could obtain passage." This remark somewhat stunned the Rev. and he thought to himself, what he was to do. "Well," said the Captain, "you can't go." "But I must go," said Rev. Wilbanks, "even if I must hang upon that smokestack." In a few moments Rev. Wilbanks cased himself, passed the Captain and stepped upon the boat and said: "Captain, before I get off this boat I will sink it into the Potomac." Just then Rev. Wilbanks declared that he would resurrect the dead of the Titantic. Upon his knees he fell and began to pray, and instantly the Captain beckoned to one of his men to segregate the minister and his wife. He was directed to go down on the lower deck and sit in a corner. While there a message was sent to him that several of his stock were on the outside and the Captain would not permit them to get on the boat. What to do he didn't know. However, a colored helper went to one of his white friends and asked him if he wouldn't purchase two tickets for his colored friends, which he did. Just as the two colored clergymen stepped on the boat they were asked where they were going. The white passenger spoke up and said these gentlemen are with them. This put a quietus on the whole business. The others could not get on the boat. They were compelled to board a train and go in another direction. Dr. Wilbanks went to Colonial Beach and laid his cornerstone and returned by way of "Fraggs Creek." BISHOP ALEX. WALTERS. (Continued from page one.) all places. It is well to remember at this time that segregation started under Republican rule. It commenced in the latter part of the Roosevelt, and was continued during the Taft administration. In the last year of the Taft administration, I chanced to visit the Post Office Department, and the Bureau of Printing and Engraving. I was surprised to find in many cases that the colored clerks were in a room to themselves, and the whites were in rooms to themselves. Of course here and there a few colored clerks were in rooms with whites, but none but a fool would fail to see that it was an effort at segregation. The truth is, that when it comes to segregation, the Democrats and Republicans are at one in the matter, and it behooves the Negro to present a united and aggressive front in opposition to segregation. This is no time to stand off and criticise, but for all to pitch in, both Democrats and Republicans, and help to save the day, for we have enemies in both parties, and a plenty of them. Dismissals. We all know that the wholesale dismissals began under Taft's administration. He gave us to understand in his inaugural address, what we might expect from him. He told us that it was going to be his policy, not to appoint Negroes to office in those localities, where white people objected. I am told that more than four hundred Negroes were put out of office during his regime. Who put Dr. Crum out of the collectorship, at Charleston, S. C., and appointed a white man in his place? Taft. Who put Rucker out of the Postmastership at Atlanta, Ga., and put a white man in his place? Taft. Who put Cohen out of the Land Office at New Orleans, and put a white man in his place? Why, a Republican President, Mr. Taft. Who put Wilson out at Florence Why, Taft. Who put R. L. Smith, of Texas, of his fat job? President Taft. But what need I go further, the records tell the story, and they tell a sad, sad story. Who put all the Negroes off the National Republican Committee, where at one time they had nearly an hundred members? Why, Republicans, certainly. Who paved the way to put all the Negroes out of Congress? President Hayes. And, since I come to think of it, my good friend Dan was taken out the Collectorship, at Wilmington, N. C., and his place filled by a white man, by our good Methodist President McKinley. Why, my good friend Ransom, have you forgotten the records? If you have, allow me to call your attention to the records, both Democratic and Republican, and you will find them with mean and hellish deeds so far as the black man is concerned. I write not this to condone the acts of this administration in regards to the black man, for I urged President Wilson and Attorney General McReynolds not to put Lewis out of office, and if they would put him out, give the place to a democratic Negro, but following the example of Taft and others, they put him out and gave his job to a white man. The same is true of Mr. Tyler. I commend both Democrats and Republicans alike for the confirmation of Judge Terrell. Surely we owe the northern and western Democrats something for the manful way they stood up for our able Judge. The nomination of Judge Terrell by a Democratic President, and confirmation by a Democratic Senate has given the Negro a status in the Democratic party such as they never had before. I have been told by the heads of the departments that in the dismissal of men from the departments, a ratio is observed; for instance, in the Post Office, at one time there were sixty-one men dropped; of this number eleven were colored and fifty were white. At another time there were twenty-five dropped. Twenty-two were white and three were colored. In the Pension Office about an hundred were dropped, and out of that number only six were colored. So when we hear a number of colored men being dropped, we must remember that a much larger number of whites are dropped, too. This is a Democratic administration, and you know it is the policy to put out as many Republicans as possible, whether they be white or black. What we Negroes are contending for is that, when a Republican Negro is put out of office that his place be not filled by a white man, but by a Negro Democrat. The one man who is making the most havoc among Negroes in Washington is Mr. Cramm, a Republican, who is demoting Negroes without cause, reducing clerks to messengers, and messengers to laborers. I tell you, we all need to be on the firing line just now. What Bishop Walters Is Going to Do Now. First, I am going to continue to urge the President to keep his promises, to give the black man a square deal, by appointing him to important offices, and to use his influence to prevent the enactment by Congress of any inimical legislation. I am going to advise the black men to continue to divide their vote, and to support the men who have proven themselves to be friends to the race, whether they be Democrats, Republicans, or Bull Moose; and if this does not effect a cure, I am going to advise them to organize a Negro party, and wherever it is feasible to do so to put Negro candidates in the field for municipal, county, State and congressional offices. This is what Bishop Walters is going to do. NOTICE. 1924 Thirteenth Street Northwest. Washington, D. C., July 15, 1914.

Cosey of New Jersey, has left him and gone over to Mr. Ross, editor of the Detroit, Mich., Informer, Mr. Cosey some time ago, it is claimed, attempted to belittle Bishop Walters to the Administration and organize an independent political Democratic organization.

SHADOWED BY U. S. SLEUTHS Loot of Robbery Buried by Safe Cracker Shortly Before He Was Killed by Detective—Girl Wife Asserts Husband Gave His Life to Get Gems and She Will Keep Them, Savannah, Ga.—Defying the agents of the United States to wrest from her the secret of the hiding place of $54,000 worth of loot amassed by her yeggman husband and buried near Savannah, Mrs. Charles C. Craven, who is twenty years old, returned to Georgia determined to regain the treasure for herself, but afraid to claim it under the eyes of Uncle Sam's men, Craven, one of the most notorious cracksmen the sun has ever known was killed at Wildwood, Fla., five months ago by a railroad special agent after a running battle on top of a moving freight train. The cracksman, through a series of postoffice and train robberies in Georgia, Alabama and Florida, had amassed $38,000 in cash and $16,000 worth of jewels, which he took to Savannah and buried near a station on a suburban car line, telling the secret of its location to none but his wife. After his death the young widow was arrested and held for several weeks while government agents tried to extract from her the secret of the location of the buried treasure. After her release the federal agents began to shadow her Wherever she went she was followed, in the hope that she would make an attempt to unearth the treasure Mrs. Craven declares she will never divulge to the government the location of the treasure. "Charlie paid the penalty for his wrongdoing with his life," she said "He risked his life to get the money and jewels for me, and they are mine. I will die before I will tell where they are hidden." When she married the cracksman, eighteen months ago, in Norfolk, Va., she thought he was a business man. After a honeymoon of three weeks they came to Savannah, and hero Craven told her he was a yeggman, but the news did not shake her love for him, and she followed him wherever he wished. "We went all over the south," she said. "Last summer we were in Memphis for awhile. It was seldom that he left home without returning eighteen or twenty-four hours later with $500 or so. He seldom told me what he had done or any of the circumstances surrounding his operations. I did not ask. But I lived in constant fear that he would be arrested or killed. "In November we went to Chicago, but did not stay long. My husband carried more than $50,000 through the streets one day there. He spent his money as fast as he got it. He was very liberal with his pals. He was never without a considerable fund with which to pay the traveling expenses of himself and the members of his gang. "After leaving Chicago we came south. At Owensboro, Ky., my husband blew a safe in a postoffice and got several thousand dollars. Then we came to Atlanta. We got there on the night of Dec. 27, 1913, and walked down Peachtree street, carrying a quart of nitroglucerin in a satchel. From Atlanta Charlie went to Augusta and I came to Savannah. Later he joined me in Savannah, but a few days thereafter he went to southern Florida. Shortly afterward he came back to Savannah with the $38,000 in cash and jewels worth $16,000, which he went out one night and buried. "Charlie did not stay long in Savannah after burying the money. Then I ran short of money and wrote to him to ask if it would be all right to take some of the hidden money to live on. That letter never reached him. It fell into the hands of the government authorities, and that is how they learned of the buried treasure. "I was arrested, but no charge could be made against me, as I had not received the stolen goods. After I got out of jail I was besieged by people whom I knew in Savannah to tell the location of the hidden money. Some of them searched for it themselves until they dug up a bottle of nitroglycerin, which we had also hidden. That frightened them so badly that they gave it up." When Mrs. Craven returned to Georgia for the second time she received numerous letters of a threatening nature from people in Savannah stating that it would be best for her in the end if she told the hiding place of the money and jewels. "Jailbirgs" Save Farmers' Crops. Huntingdon, Pa.-Despairing of securing help in planting his late potatoes and harvesting the wheat on his farm in Henderson township, C. B. Emerick, a well known lumberman, applied to Justice David S. Black for assistance. Huntingdon's accommodating magistrate came to Emerick's rescue. Hastening to the county jail, he released two stalwart young freight riders, who were overjoyed at obtaining their liberty upon no harder condition than going to work on Emerick's farm and saving his crops at good wages and board. BODY'S SIXTH OCEAN TRIP. Strange Events Have Kept Dead Women Traveling Back and Forth. man Traveling Back and Forth. Louden.-The strange story of an unburied body which is about to start on its sixth trip across the Atlantic is told by the Daly Telegraph's Berlin correspondent. A woman died in the United States last summer. Her newly married daughter and her son-in-law determined to inter the body in the mother's native place, Breslau. The cemetery authorities there demanded $1,250 for burial in the family vault, and, regarding the charge exorbitant, the daughter decided to take the body back to America. Upon arriving at New York, however, she found awaiting her a letter to the effect that the controllers of the cemetery were prepared to reduce the price of a grave, whereupon she and her husband forthwith returned with the body to Breslau. There fresh differences of opinion arose, and, as there appeared to be no chance of agreement, the mother's body once more was transported to New York. Shortly after this the daughter and her husband became tired of the land of their adoption and made up their minds to repatriate themselves in Germany. Accordingly they packed up their personal belongings and, with the body of the mother, once more appeared in Breslau Menwhile the difficulty with the proprietors of the cemetery was composed, and at last the much traveled body was consigned to the tomb. But even now it is not to be left in peace. The restless couple decided that after all the new world was better than the old and resolved to recross the Atlantic once more, taking with them the body of the mother. But the cemetery authorities refused to surrender the body, so the daughter took the case before the law courts. The first decision given was against her, but now, on appeal, she has obtained an order that her mother's body be delivered to her. UPSIDE DOWN SHOT KILLS BIG GRIZZLY Luck Saved Man's Life In British Columbia. McBride, B. C.—"Did y'ever lie on your back in the brush and shoot a wounded grizzly that was standing right above your head?" asked Joe Juneau, trapper, when he came here with his partner, Bert Wahl. "Well, it aln't so funny when you actually-have to do it to escape getting hugged by the grizzly. Griggly huggin' is one kind I don't hanker for!" Joe Juneau had set out into the mountains looking for caribou. "I never met caribou, nor nothin'," he said, "till right on the edge of the timber I suddenly saw a big bear. Say, I cut loose with my rifle without thinkin' at all. It was a grizzly and a whopper. "I was so blame excited I fired again, though I could only see his head and shoulders. But I'd forgot my gun was still sighted for 100 yards, so of course I overshot him. But I guess I parted his hair all right, for he turned and charged right at me. "But suddenly his bearship changed his mind. He took a long circle, loping off through the meadow. Then I shot a third time and wounded him, too, but it only served to quicken his getaway." "However, this time I must 'a' got a little reckless, because I went right after him in spite of my creed not to follow a grizzly, especially a wounded grizzly, single handed. I followed the blood tracks into thick underbrush. Pretty soon it got so tight and tangled I had to get down on my hands and knees and crawl along, pushing my gun ahead of me. "I might 'a' knowed it would happen then. Suddenly I poked my head and shoulders through into a little clearing, and there was that grizzly, reared up right above me! "There wasn't no question about his intentions. It had to be dead grizzly or dead man in about the briefest jiffy of time. I just rolled over on my back and I fired at him upside down! The brush was so thick above me that it would 'a' been impossible to get to my knees in time. "Say, if that grizzly had toppled over forward instead of backward he'd 'a' fallen square on top of me. That's how close we were. "But he fell backward all right. And for a time after I'd heard the crash I don't know which was the deadest, him or me! It was my first attempt to aim upside down. The scare sort of left me collapsed. But I'd hit him fair, under the chin and up through the mouth into the brain." WOLVES DROP IN FOR LUNCH. But They Weren't Hungry, For They Already Had Eaten a Parrot. Kansas City, Mo.—As George Wilson, a keeper at the Horne zoological arena, east of Independence, was eating his luncheon in the cooking house the door opened and in walked two big wolves. Wilson summoned help and selzed a club. The wolves were not the little, half hearted American kind, but the big Siberian variety, noted for their fierceness. They were not as hard to manage as they might have been, however, for they had already dined off some Plymouth Rock roosters and for dessert had eaten a ten dollar parrot. They were eventually driven back to their cage by Wilson and several others. The National Religious Training School, Durham, N.C.

NEWSPAPER ARTICLE Stirs Up Wrath—Now Colored Lawyers Must "Show Cause" for Defending Negro. (Special to The Bee.) Atlantic City, August 1. On Wednesday afternoon of this week the Grand Jury of Atlantic County, returned a "True Bill" against the two local colored attorneys, Isaac H. Nutter and James A. Lightfoot, who are associated in the practice of law and who have law offices in the Riddle Building here. That indictments would be found against the colored lawyers surprises no one who has any knowledge at all, with the facts and circumstances of the case which caused a special investigation by the Grand Jury after that body had been specially summoned for that specific purpose. Man Held Without Warrant. The present activity of the prosecutor's office is the outgrowth of a case that was tried before Magistrate Castor, colored, of this city, on Monday evening, the 18th, when one Dudley was arrested and jailed for selling whiskey on Sunday, the 17th of May, without a license. Before the case of Dudley was called another case for selling whiskey was tried and the case continued until the following evening. When the case of Dudley was called, Lawyer James A. Lightfoot, representing Dudley with Isaac H. Nutter, called for the com- J. plaint upon which Dudley was held. At that point Edward B. Harrigan, who did very effective work here some time ago in cleaning up gambling in the city and secured indictments against and convictions of most of the colored gambling house keepers in the city—white gamblers and gambling-house keepers evade his detection—approached the desk of the Magistrate and asked if the complaint had been sworn and subscribed to. At that junction Attorney Lightfoot stated to the Court that he would neither plead "not guilty" or "guilty" to the charge and further made a motion that Dudley be dismissed because the complaint, that had been issued on information, had not been sworn and subscribed to, nor had the magistrate affixed his signature and seal. Harrigan Goes Into the Air. Harrigan, on this motion, went as completely in the air as if he had been using a Wright acroplane. Magistrate Castor ruled that he would have to dismiss the man because he did not have a signed complaint and Harrigan offered to sign the complaint. It was then that Mr. Lightfoot stated to the Court that the man would then be tried on a complaint upon which no warrant had been issued. He further stated that the man could be arrested on the complaint, but it could not be done in the Court and advised the county detective to place one of his men at the door of the court house and arrest Dudley as soon as he got outside. It was further suggested to Magistrate Castor to place one of his constables at the door and arrest the man if he was wanted. Upon the ruling of the magistrate that he could not hold Dudley upon a complaint that had not been sworn and subscribed to Dudley upon advice of counsel left the court room. On the following evening and without any warrant being served upon Dudley, his attorneys knowing a warrant was out for him, was produced in court by counsel and his case was heard and he was held in five hundred dollars bond. Assistant Prosecutor Brown asked the court to make the bond one thousand dollars because House & Herrmann 7th and Eye Sts., N. W of all kinds and description, House and Herrmann is the place to visit. There is no other house of its kind in the city where the people can be satisfied. This is house hat will satisfy you. Dudley had gone out of court upon advice of counsel the evening before and an example should be made of him. Lawyer Lightfoot then offered an objection upon the ground that one thousand dollars would be excessive and would be a hardship upon the defendant. Magistrate Castor so ruled and Dudley was released on bail. Prosecutor's Office Gets Busy. From that day on the Prosecutor's office got busy and Harrigan began to round up witnesses in the Prosecutor's office and it is alleged that many of them under the spell of the office did not relate the true facts in the case while in the office. Not only did the attaches of the office use their power to get these witnesses in line, but other stronger power was brought to bear. DIDN'T MEAN THAT. Attorney Giles B. Jackson Explains—He Commends Senators Martin of Virginia and White of Alabama—The Southern Negro Commended. Editor of The Bee, Washington, D.C. Dear Sir: I have just been handed a clipping from your paper, criticising the statement I made to Senator Martin through the communication which he had put in the Congressional Record of July 8, in support of the proposition to make an appropriation of $55,000 to enable the Negro Historical and Industrial Association in holding an exposition and celebration in commemoration of the fiftieth anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation, in which I said, among other things, that we were not asking for political office, neither did we expect to receive any. I must say that you have misconstrued the intention of this remark. I know you are too liberal a man to do a friend an injustice, and I am therefore writing to say that I meant by this remark that those whom I represented were men of affairs and did not want political offices, and we were not asking for any; that we only wanted an appropriation of $55,000 to show the world what we have done along educational and industrial lines. I did not mean that the colored race did not want political office, for there are thousands who want them, and I don't blame them for getting all they can. I merely meant, as I have said before, that those whom I represented were not seeking political offices. I wanted to convey the idea that the company was self-sustaining and those who represent it were men who have made their way in life and succeeded in business, and were not round and about the Senate looking for jobs; that they were asking for an appropriation from the Government to be expended on a worthy cause, and, therefore, the application for the appropriation could not be self-aggrandizement. I did not intend to reflect upon any person who wanted office, but simply wanted to distinguish the people I represent from those seeking political office, without reflecting upon anyone. If my statement to the Senate, through Senator Martin, had done nothing else, it brought to the floor two southern Senators who spoke in the highest terms of the Negro. I refer to Senators Thomas S. Martin, of Virginia, and Francis White, of Alabama. One of our own race could not have spoken in higher terms of the black man than these two Senators. I am glad I was an instrument through which to bring about such a discussion as was made during the debate in the Senate on the amendment to the Sundry Civil Appropriation Bill, inserting a clause for the appropriation of $53,000 to aid the Negro Historica! and Industrial As- 4.

Thus instructed, the ‘godly believer ts able to appropriate the Divine promises of providential care, and so can be céntent with cond!- tons which are not satisfactory. On the other band, he declared, those who elther do not know of the Power Divine, or have lost their faith: in Di- vine Wisdom, chafe more and more under present conditions. The more discontented they become, the greater 1s their tendency toward ungodliness, doubt of the Divine Lore, Wisdom and *ower. Self-dependence 1s a poor sub- titute; and as disappointments come, hose inclined to combativeness find ager, malice, hatred, envy and strife urging through thelr minds, Then hey become rabid Socialists, and are na fair way to become eventually abid anarchists, Again, the speaker continued, we ave those who term themselves Chris- an Socialists. These ‘well-meaning yuls perceive the situation of their brethren and eay, “Yes, the world shoukl be transformed socially. Its riches should not flow, as at present, into certain favored channels, but should be scattered everywhere for the general refreshment and comfort of mankind as a whole.” This class philosophize on what God surely would, and surely would not, approve amongst <men, and then declare that all Chris- Mans should at once set about to se- cure to the world of mankind a just * division of God's bountles. The love and zeal of this class for right principles we should admire and commend, the Tastor sald, But we cannot commend thelr course, thelr hopes, thelr preaching, by which they seek to obtain the ends desired. Recog- nizing the principles of Divine Justice, they ‘seek to apply these, forgetful that they have not the Divine wisdom necessary to a proper application. ‘The Scriptural View of the Matter. Next was shown that tlils class seem ‘to forget also that human justice has ,.been the same for several thousand ears past, and that Divine Wisdom has not yet seen Ht to establish Divine Justice amongst men. If they think that this 1s neglect on the part of the Almighty which they are wise enough to rectify, thelr thought {s evidently an erroneous one. If, on the contrary, they believe that the time for the es- tablishment of justice has now come, they ‘should be able to find a Divine revelation to this effect and point it out to us—one practically authorizing _ them to take their stand for Socialism, and explaining that the due time for the prosperity of justice has now come, snd telling how they shall proceed and what will be the outcome, ‘The Pastor then discussed the world from the Bible standpoint. According to the Word of God, the world is not properly ready for its own control un- der any form of government. It ts a rebellious province Iu the Dirine Em- plre—one In which ein, selfishness and death constitute the ruling elements. The Bible declares that what the world needs 1s a monarchy—a strong. centralized government, in which the masses must not be allowed to have a voice at all, because In thelr fallen condition ‘they do not know what ts for thelr own bighest good. Furthermore, the Bible tells us that present Institutions, under the power of relfishness driving the wealthy 1u one direction and the masses in the | opposite direction, are about to bring , a universal crash—anarchy. This and atheistic Soctajism ang Christian So: clalism, and in a larger sense general selfishness and discontent, are urging on the two great combatants, both of whom will fall in the struggle, never to rise again. However, according to | Beriptore, they will be succeeded by a Ka tn ce daa ge ES SESE OL IOUS Seat SUN, ‘That atrong Government, that The- ecracy to which every knee must bow and erery tongue confess, to the glory of God, is the Kingdom that the world needs, Its rule of righteousness alone will bring to mankind the joy and peace and blessing which all crave, but which none of us are wise enough to know how to bring about—not even our Socialist friends! The part of faith and of wisdom is to look unto the Lord, from whom cometh our help, Nor should we look to Him to approve our methods, but rather to be inform- ed respecting His methods and to co- operate to the extent of our abilities; ‘The Gospel of Discontent. ‘The Pastor next considered the views held by many who favor what is known as Christian Socialism. He read an extract from an old number of the “Christlan Socialist," {n which a Rev. Dr, Ellot White 1s reported to have said as follows: “Let us answer, Hasten the day when Labor, united, shall shake off tts chains! Our part as Christians is tu help men out of every bondage! We are not perturbed that Socialism, in its eagerness to rid Lakor of material bonds, has not yet realized the welght of bonds spiritual. That realization will come in good time, and Christtan- ity must be ready to show the work- ers of the world how to be rid of all these fetters of the soul which mate- rial emancipation will but render more apparent. But for Christianity, as too often now, to profess desire to free men from spiritual bondage, while repudiating any call or need to strike fearless blows at thelr material prison bars, fs to lay itself open to justifiable charges of hypocrisy. This must yleld to braver counsels, though the striving be unto Blood against the sin of slavery which still defiles mod- em industrialism, “With widest meaning, then—inclu- sive of all that the most ardent and uncompromising Soclalist lover of Ub- erty has demunded, and embracing be- aides all that the Christian means when he proclaims the story of spirit- ual freedom, Christlanity must now take up the challenge and cry with world-wide volce and a mighty thun- der—‘Amen! even 0, unite, ye work- ers; you have but your chains to lose, and you have a world to gain!” Tt was then pointed out that the writer of this extract and all who sympathize with his views should be willing to concede that if now is the Proper time to get Labor out of “the slavery of modern Industrialism,” then surely God 1s as much Interested {n that release as they or any others could possibly be—yea, and more so. If, then, thls Christian minister and others have recelved some special com- mission authorizing them to preach a new Gospel or a new addition to the old Gospel, they should produce the Proofs of this-authorization. Until we see the proofs we must doubt thelr ex- Istence. Nest the Pastor showed that, on the contrary, the Scriptures declare that there 1s but one Hope set before us in the Gospel, even as there “is but one Lord, one Faith and one Baptism." No one will ever succeed in making the world happy by preaching the Gospel of Discontent. Labor today Is a hun- dredfold better fed, Letter clothed and Vetter housed than in the days of our forefathers and, It is safe to say, a hundredfold more discontented. And the author of the above extract, with doubtless the very best Intentlong, Is really doing harm by his gospel of So- clalism; for he hax neglected to con: sult the Word of God on this impor. tant subject. - Our Lord, it was polnted out, was surrounded by conditions of sickness, sorrow, poverty, ete., su that He could properly declare. “The poor ye have with you always." The Apostles were similarly situated. Yet have we any evidence whatever that any of these attempted to “break the chains of the slavery of Labor?” Assuredly not! ‘Tho Master's Example. Many Instances were cited from the Ufe of Jesus, as recorded in the Gos- pels, to demonstrate that He dld not set an examp!e for these well-meaning but mistaken Christians. While the Master went nbout doing good and healing many sick folk, He by no means. beaied all the sick or comfort- ed all that mourned. . His favors were specialized; for instance, take the case of the impotent man at the Pool of Bethesda. The record {8 that “there were multitudes of impotent foll there.” But only one was miraculous- ly healed by our Lord. PS SSS eS NS Sane nor was !t made by those who recog- nized worldly principles, but that it was merely a social arrangement whereby the Church at Jerusalem sought to deal with tts members as one family. The project was not suc- cessful; it did not persist; it did not have Apostolic commendation to other ecclesias. The conclusion, therefore, is that the arrangement was Divinely permitted in order to show the Lori's people throughout this Gospel Age the impracticability of such an arrange ment at the present time. ‘The Gospel of Krrer. Christign Socialists would probably ‘tall us, sald the Pastor, that Socialists are crying out that they do not find Heavenly hopes satisfactory; that they desire earthly hopes, riches and com- forts, and intend to have these; and ‘that what the people desire ts what the pulpit must suppjy. They add the inti- mation that unless the people get what they wish, the influence of religion will wane and ministers will become back numbers, whom no one will care to hear, much less to heed. His reply ‘was that this ts all very true, But the dimeulty, he claimed, is that the Gos Pel Message 1s not properly presented to the people. The Message which our Lord and His Apostles taught ts a consistent one; whereas the message from the majority of pulpits today is inconsistent. ‘The people aro told, by both Cath- olics and Protestants, that there is a Heaven for the saintly who, before: dying, shall become firmly established in the graces of the Holy Spirit; but that with the masses it is different. These are told by Catholics that after death centuries of torment await them in Purgatory, and by Protestants that they will have an eternity of torment without hope of release. Then both Catholics and Protestants unite in tell- ing the poor world that such an ar- rangement 1s the provision of a just and loving God, for which they should be deeply thankful; and additionally, that the troubles of this present life are partial penances for ain. The Gospsl of Christ. Then the Pastor turned from’ the false conceptions of the Dark Ages to the Gospel presented by our Lord and His Apostles. The Truth 1s so much more reasonable, so much more just, loving and wise, he declared, that who- ever hears it experiences a satisfaction which error can never produce. He declared that the Scriptures clearly teach that ours 1s a convict race, con- demned to death because of Father Ad- am’s disobedience; for as bis children we have inherited a share in bis death sentence—not In an eternal torment sentence. He reminded hls audience that the Bible tells that Satan, whe misled our first parents by misrepre- senting God and His Word, has con- tinued to misrepresent the Creator to mankind; ‘and that It {s the Adversary who 1s responsible for the “doctrines of devils” (1 Timothy 4:1) respecting the torture of the dead, wh®, the Scrip- tures declare, “know not anything.”— Ecclestastes 9:5. The speaker then pointed out that the Scriptures tell us that God, seeing that many of our race, dying because of Adam's disobedience, would gladly return to fellowship with their Creator and be recovered from sin and death conditions, has made a provision for them. Our Lord Jesus by His death has purchased the lives and lberties of Adam and his entire race. It was next shown why the Messi- anle Kingdom was not set up immedl- ately after our Lord's ascension. Scrip- tures were clted to demonstrate that before the Kingdom is established amongst men the Kingdom class must firet be found—the Little Flock, to whom St Is the Father’s good pleasure to give the Kingdom, as Jesus declar- ed, This class ts to be composed of the saintly few who form positive char. acters for righteousness by falthfully following in the footsteps of thelr Re- deemer. The Kingdom will not be es. tablished uittil this class ts completed— yery soon, the speaker belleres. “The Desire of All Nations.” In conclusion, the Pastor called at tention to the prophecy which declares that the desire of all peoples shall come, and expressed his belief that al the world would desire the coming of the glorious Messlanfc Kingdom if they only knew about ft. All mints. ters of God should hold up before th: people the glorious Gospel of Christ. ‘This will bring Joy and perce to all hearts, notwithstanding the Incidental trials, difficulties and weaknesses o! this present time of distress.

After spend- ing ® portion of the day in the Holy City, He returned to Bethany. Going to the city the next morning, He noted a fig tree by the wayside, bearing plenty of leaves. He approached {t, but found no figs. The good show of leaves was deceptive. Then He put a curse, a blight, upon the tree, declaring that it should not bear fruit forever, or to a completion, Bible students believe that they now see a deep signification In this incident. They belleve that the Sg tree was used as ® type of the Jewish nation; and that the blight upon the tree be- cause of unfruitfulness corresponded exactly to that pronounced the day be- fore upon that nation because of Its unfruitfulness, On the day previous, Jesus had said tu the Jewlsh nation, “Ye shall see Me no more until that Day.” He de- clared that this tree would be blighted to the end of the aion, or Age. Again, when speaking to His disciples re- specting the end of this Age, Jesus de- clared, “When ye shall see the fig tree putting forth leaves, then know that summer fs nigh"—that the winter, the blight 7 We time, of Israel and 7¢ Barren Fig Tree. of the world, is at an end, _ In other words, one of the signs of a New Dis- pensation will be the indications of life, hope, promise, amongst the Jews. Significance of Zionism. ‘These sume Bible students point to the revival of hope amongst the Jew! Ish people, as especinily manifested by Zionism, and declare that this retura of hope and faith to the Jews respect- ing their land and the Divine promises ts exactly In line with prophecy. They point to Isalah 40 as in process of ful- filment: “Comfort ye My people, saith your God. Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her appointed time is accomplished, that her Infquity Is pardoned; for she hath recelyed of the Lord’s band double for all her sins.” ‘These Bible students hold that Eze- Kiel's prophecy of the valley of dry bones does not refer to a literal resur- rection. but to the revival of Israel’s hopes in the Divine promises. This Is in harmony with the Prophet's declara- tlon, “These bones are the whole hotse of Israel; bebold, they suy, Our bones are dried, our hope 1s lost; we are tut off from our parts.”—Ezekle} 37:1-14. These Bible students declare that St. Paul teaches that the Jewish na- tion was typlcally represented by Ish- | mael, Hagar's son, (Galatians 4:22-31,) ; As Hagar and Ishmael were outcast for a time, so the Law Covenant and the Jews have been cut off from Divine favor only temporarily, Ishmael bad almost fainted for thirst in the wil- derness, but was revived by the angel of the Lord, who pointed out a spring of water. I'lis also is typleal. Jewish hopes of God's favor had almost died. Zionism is (ne wellspring which Is res- cutng Israel from death as a people Under Messiah's Kingdom, soon to be established on the spirit plane, the Jews will receive a great blessing—on the carthiy plane. Cleansing the Temple. Jesus and His disciples proceeded to Jerusalem and went directly to the Temple. There He assumed authority and began to cast out the traders witb- outceremony. -n- other account of this Incident tells us that in thls cleansing of the ‘Temple Jesus used a scourge of small cords, "All. this was of double sig- nificance: (1) Primarily, tt bad to do with that time: (2) Secondarily, UL) Tee aS ie eeu ing of the antitypical Temple, due we believe, in our day. According to modern legal usage, it would be quite improper for one to enter a church edifice in order to in- terfere with the rights of conscience or the procedure sanctioned by the con- gregution owning that edifice. If wrong were being done, and he wish- ed to rectify it, he should either swear out a warrant or call a policeman to witness the Infraction of the law and correct matters, But under the Jewish Law it was different. Every Jew was privileged to enforce the Divine Law respecting blasphemy or sacrilege. Jesus therefore did only what dny Jew bad a right to do. It will be no- ticed that as much as the Scribes and Pharisees desired to find occasion against Jesus, they mide uo objections to the procedure here described. Jesus was within His rights. He was cham- pioning the cause of God und His Tem- ple. Jesus intimated that responsibility for the prevailing condition rested upon those tn authority—the Scribes and Pharisees. For graft and other considerations they bad permitted God's House to become a place of mer- chandise—had made religion a cloak. We' fear that religion is still used to cover selfishness. The Master, who was especially Indimnant at such mis- use of the House of God, holds the same sentiments today. .

BIG MID-SUMMER EVENT. First Washington vs. Baltimore Game Contest at Lincoln, Md., Saturday, August 1, 2 p. m. A few weeks ago one hundred of the Washington professional and business men joined in a challenge to the professional and business men of Baltimore City to contest tennis, croquet and baseball matches at Lincoln, Md., on the Washington, Baltimore & Annapolis Electric Railroad. Baltimore responded to the challenge and at once began preparations to contest honors electing a committee of management as follows: Harry T. Pratt, chairman; Dr. B. F. Brown, Dr. J. H. Robinson, Dr. O. D. Jones, Charles A. Wise. This committee was elected at a meeting of Baltimoreans at the Y. M. C. A. rooms July 20. At the same meeting Dr. B. F. Brown was chosen captain of Baltimore's baseball team, other members of the team to be selected by the captain. In the same manner Mr. Winford J. Braxton was selected as captain of the tennis team and authorized to select his teammates. Ralph V. Cook, Dr. H. S. McCard and Dr. W. H. Wright enlisted as Mr. Braxton's tennis cohorts. In the meantime Washington City was not idle. Dr. E. D. Williston was appointed captain of the Capital City's sluggers and Mr. Tally Holmes was designated to hold down the tennis battle. He immediately selected his tennis mates in the persons of Messrs. Harold A. Haynes, Willis M. Menard, John W. Cromwell, Jr., with James B. Hunter as alternate. The tennis matches were scheduled to lead off, but owing to the enthusiasm for the baseball contest that game was first called. Later on the tennis games resulted in two victories for Baltimore 6 to 5 for single and 6 to 4 for double. A nice tennis court in Elm Street near residences of Messrs, Calloway and Holland was the scene of the two sharp victories. Judge Robert H. Terrell, of Washington, and Dr. Harry S. McCard, of Baltimore, accepted the heroic positions of umpires of the ball game. Their decisions were rendered with satisfaction. Special trains from both cities brought their enthusiastic crowds and something like 200 enthusiastic "rooters" made things lively for their home towns. Mrs. Carrie Johnson, of Baltimore, served a country dinner that captured the crowd. In addition to the players there were many prominent attendants, among whom were: Prof. George W. Cook and Prof. Kelly Miller, Dr. M. O. Dumas, Dr. George W. Cabannis, Mr. Walter S. Welborne, Mrs. R. L. Pendleton, Mrs. McDuffie, Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Brooks, Lawyers J. L. Taylor, Charles S. Hill, Ernest Penn, Mr. Richard Ware, Mr. William Benson of Kowaliga, Ala., Mr. M. R. Priest, Mr. W. L. Fitzgerald, Mrs. McCard. The baseball line-up was. Baltimore—Dr: B. F. Brown, catcher and captain; Dr. W. H. Wright, center field; Dr. W. J. Braxton, second base; Mr. Roscoe Price, third base; Dr. H. F. Brown, right field; W. Jones, shortstop; Mr. Ralph V. Cook, left field; Dr. O. D. Jones, first base; Mr. Smith, pitcher. Washington—Dr. E. D. Williston, pitcher and captain; H. A. Haynes, first base and right field; Tally Holmes, third base; Willis Menard, shortstop; Maveritt, catcher; J. W. Cromwell, pitcher; Dr. W. A. Warfield, left field; D. A. C. Garner, center field. To those who have not been to Lincoln, Md. (not to be confused with Lincoln Heights, D. C.), it may be well to conclude with a brief description. Lincoln is a town that is being built up on thoroughly modern plans. The building sites are 50 feet wide by 150 feet long and the streets are from 50 to 70 feet wide. Among those Washingtonians who have homes there are Isaiah T. Hatton. 1221 Walter St. S. E. architect, Thomas J. Calloway, Samuel T. Porton, and Rev. D. P. Seaton, the last named having just completed a 14-room cottage of handsome design. The homes are all of tasty design. A complete system of water works has been installed and the homes are lighted by gas. The park is a beauty and the water is the delight of all who taste. No description will equal a sight and those who visit Lincoln will enjoy a treat. FAIRMOUNT HEIGHTS. Messrs. James F. Armstrong, Frank Coalman and James A. Campbell went to Upper Marlboro Tuesday, August 4, on official business. Their trip was quite a successful one for the community. They, through the kind efforts of Hon. O. B. Zautzinger, Hon. V. U. Lawrence, Hon. George McCeney, constituting the Board of County School Commissioners of Prince George's County, Hon. E. S. Burroughs, the County School Superintendent and Treasurer, and the Hon. Frederick Sasscer, ex-Superintendent and Treasurer of the County School Board, succeeded in getting established at Fairmount Heights in connection with the Fairmount Heights Public School, an industrial department. Mr. James F. Armstrong was appointed Supervisor of the Colored Schools of Prince George's County and Mr. James A. Campbell was appointed Instructor of Manual Training. The Misses U. J. Wilkes, M. A. Cooper, H. C. DeVille and F. U. Hunt will be appointed assistant teachers in the Industrial Department. They are thoroughly prepared and they look forward to doing great work the ensuing school year. Rev. C. C. Nelson, pastor of the M. E. Church here, preached at Lanham, Maryland, July 30. He delivered two excellent sermons at this place Sunday, August 4. His members and friends are taking on the spirit of the rally. Quite a number of lawn parties are being given to that end. The work on the Fairmount Heights School will be completed on or about the first day of September. Hon. Frederick Sasscer, Superintendent of Education, and the Hon. E. S. Boroughs, the new Superintendent, deserve great praise because they have been liberal, generous and just to the community. The names of the Honorables O. B. Zautzinger, R. H. Perrie, V. M. Lawrence, Geo. McCeney, Frederick Sasscer, E. S. Burroughs and C. H. Stanley shall be made immortal because they have done so much for the people here. Mr. Thomas N. Brown, one of the most highly respected citizens of Fairmount Heights, has erected in connection with his most beautiful property on the corner of Chaple Avenue and the District Boulevard a nice barber shop. He has it nicely arranged and lighted by electricity. He belongs to the advanced element of the citizenship here and holds himself to aid in the development of Fairmount Heights. Mr. Brown is a great friend to the church and school work here and he is a great lover of children. Mr. Richard A. Tilghman and his associates are engaged in building cement sidewalks on principal streets of Fairmount Heights. This work is much needed. He should have the hearty support of all the citizens here. Mrs. S. M. Lewis and a company of ladies are raising money to purchase fire apparatus, engines, etc. She gave a nice picnic August 4. which was a grand success. She will have the co-operation of all true lovers of the place. The Potomac.

We've made life-long friends and customers of hundreds of young couples because we gave them a square deal and an unusual amount of help when they needed furniture for their first home. We realize how they want to begin married life with home surroundings that are pretty and comfortable, and of course they know the economy of good qualities. But it's a rather big proposition to buy a complete outfit of really high-class furnishings, and that's why we say the young folks should come to us. We consider all these conditions and allow them credit privileges which enable them to have the things they want, and to have them at once. No advantage is taken of their need for this extra help, for every article in our store is price-marked in plain figures and not a penny is added because of liberal terms.
