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. 14 WASHINGTON, I. D. C., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1914 THE ODD-FELLOWS' B. M. C. The Villainous Attack on Morris Will Result in the Defeat of Johnson's Combination FRED. MOORE'S CHANGE OF HEART. WHAT DOES IT MEAN? EXPOSE VILLAINY (Special to The Bee.) Philadelphia, Pa., Sept. 3.—No sooner than last week's Bee had gotten on the news stands in Philadelphia and a few copies had been circulated than there was a rush to get copies, and the supply was soon exhausted. Odd Fellows hereabouts were not altogether surprised at what was told in my letter, as many of the things written about had "been in the air" for several weeks, and they are aware of the fact that nothing is too low for the Davis forces to do in their efforts to get their clutches firmly on the order; then they know, too, to what extremes of lying they will go. Last week I mentioned the fact that a part of their "scheme to carry things at Boston" was to use the newspapers in order to create a prejudice against Grand Master Morris. Well, they seem to be quite overdoing it, if one is to judge from the articles that they are now publishing in the newspapers. They are writing about almost everything, but they seem to be using the most space in willifying Morris, defending the Supreme Court, and generally booming Henry Lincoln Johnson for grand master. No member of the order who knows anything at all about its affairs can read any of their articles without being shocked at the unaccountableness of the lies that are being told. Even Ananias himself, could be read them, would hie himself to his abode and account himself a mere piker in the stunt that once made him famous. I have talked pretty generally with Odd Fellows here, and they all seem to be of one opinion, and that is that the Johnson gang is not only overdoing the thing, but what they are putting in print would positively hurt their cause, did they really have a cause. The most remarkable thing about these newspaper articles that the Davis forces are now doping out is that it really shows the weakness of their hopes and ambitions. They certainly must be spending some money, as none of the papers they have been using for the past five or six weeks is in the business for love. My own experience with them is that their editors "don't do nothing for nobody that don't do nothing for them." It can not be believed, for instance, that Fred Moore would use his paper to boost Linc. Johnson and publish all the rot that he is publishing for the mere love of it, and that, too, in view of the fact that for many issues after the Baltimore B. M. C. Fred's paper termed with libelous anthemas, which were directed in broadsides against Linc. Johnson and Will Houston for putting Fred out of the meeting. The things that Fred said about Linc. and Houston are really unprintable. So, Fred can not be charged with puffing Linc. for love. He is not built that way. If anybody ever got anything in Fred's paper without paying for it, let him now stand up and be counted. Probably Davis and Johnson "arranged" for these publications when they visited Fred's office right after the July meeting of the Sub. As for the stuff that General Correspondent R. W. Thompson sends to several papers, he himself will tell anybody that he believes in the doctrine that "the laborer is worthy of his hire." And as for those would be editors-Finley Wilson of the Sun and W. H. Johnson of the Afro-American—they proved so expensive an incubus that Line, found it would be cheaper to buy those papers than to keep these press agents supplied with the substance that makes things go; so he passed his two press agents up. Now, the question is, what is there so much in the grand mastership that will justify the expenditure of so much money in the effort to get it, and who foots the bills? Well, I suppose somebody is furnishing the great pile of money to send Davis and Line, all over the country chasing votes and paying newspapers, and if some senator or politician is "coughing up," it relieves me of my fears for the funds of the order and the Georgia endowment reserve. It does seem real queer though that a man who announces himself as the next grand master and seeks to impress everybody with the idea that he is as good as elected, should be not to the extremity of spending hum- dreds upon hundreds of dollars for newspaper articles for himself and Davis, in the quest of "more" votes. Line, tells it around that he is going to take to Boston 500 delegates from Georgia. Of course, he doesn't mean that. He is naturally given to such vaporous exaggeration. When Line, was at the Ohio District Grand Lodge in Belafontaine a couple of weeks ago, he told them that he would have "no less than 500 from Georgia;" and when Davis was in Muskogee, Okla., about ten days ago, he told it confidentially to the Oklahoma Odd Fellows with whom he talked that Georgia would have about 200 at Boston. When Davis and Linc, were in Boston together in the latter part of July, they arranged for accommodations for 150 delegates. Even if they bring to Boston with them the 150 delegates provided for, the question of money is still a vital one, as the transportation and expense incidental thereto will average $50 per capita, and the expense of $2 per diem for board and lodging will average $300 per day for the 150 delegates for seven or eight days. For seven days it would total $2,100, and this amount, added to the traveling expenses of $7,500, would total $0,600, with no accounting for incidentals. As most of the lodges in Georgia are very small, the money has to be furnished, and even if it is borrowed from Georgia's endowment treasury, such a large sum may be hard to get. And what can they do in Boston with 150 delegates, when Davis was beaten in Atlanta, his own home, with Georgia's 1,000 votes, all the officers of the meeting, the police, etc., in his favor, and with no candidate against him? And that, too, after two years of organizing and campaigning under a country-wide campaign committee, led by Will Houston. In their newspaper articles they prate a great deal about the great extravagance of the "administration." this word administration must be taken with some reservation, though as the majority on the present Subcommittee of Management is composed of Davies-Johnson men, as I explained in my last letter. However, they are publishing it around that the Morris administration has "squandered" all of the order's money, including a balance of $40,000 brought over from Houston's reign of ruin. Davis claims that the order has a yearly income from taxes amounting to $5,000, and that there has been no gain in membership since Houston passed out. Here he has built two straw men a false balance and a fictitious income—and proceeds to knock them down with one fell swoop by asking with gusto: "Where is the money?" If that way of putting it is intended to prejudice the Odd Fellows against Grand Master Morris, it will fall short of its purpose. I mentioned last week that $2,500 had been paid on account of litigation in Georgia and Alabama, which ought never to have come from the treasury of the Sub-committee. The report on membership at the close of the Houston regime show a membership in lodges and households of a few less than 400,000. At 6 cents per capita tax this would provide an annual income of $24,000, which Davis knows is just about enough to cover the cost of administration, when salaries and expenses of the members of the Sub-committee of Management are added to office expense. Yet he estimates the taxes to be $25,000 per year. The income from other sources—dispensations, works, etc.—is not such that a large revenue is expected. He does not say, however, that 10 per cent of the total tax revenues is culled before it gets to the Sub-committee through operation of law which Davis had passed at Baltimore authorizing the district grand secretaries to collect the Sub-committee tax. Nor does he say that more than 15 per cent of the income from taxes goes to pay the salaries and expenses of the Supreme Court, which did not exist during Houston's incumbency as grand master. The two items, totalling over $5,000 per year, would increase the treasury balance for the past four years' by at least $20,000 without interest. And yet he asks where has the money gone. Taking his own figures for it that there was a balance shown in Houston's report at Baltimore in September, 1912, of $40,000, he does not stop to ask why there was so small a balance as only $40,000, when Houston started his reign of ruin with a balance of $105,000, which came to the Houston administration from that of Grand Master J. McHenry Jones. Nor does he ask why Morris should in any way be held accountable for this balance without saying anything about the indebtedness which came over from the Houston administration and had to be paid out of this alleged $40,000 balance. The very B. M. C. over which Houston presided appropriated $15,000 of it to pay off the balance due on the Headquarters' Building, and $3,000 more were appropriated to defray the expenses of that costly B. M. C. Again, he does not say anything about the $3,000 or more which was spent when Houston called an extra session of the Sub-committee of Management in October, 1910, to put Asbury out of the Journal office before his time expired, nor about the WASHINGTON, D.C., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1914 [Image of a man in a dark suit with a white shirt and black tie, holding a book or folder.] REV R. ALEXANDER CARROLL New Pastor of Metropolitan A. M. E. Zion Church. Popular and Progressive. A Man of the People. amount spent in the Baltimore litigation (etc.) * * * There is only one way to be in this world, and that way tion following the B. M. C. meeting. Neither does he say anything about divers sums of money that were appropriated during the Honon administration when Davis himself was grand treasurer, nor of the moreys that have been appropriated, during the past four years, by the vote of the present majority (all Davis-Johnson men) on motion of Deputy Grand Master Henry Lincoln Johnson. If the question were asked with any semblance of honesty, "where has the money gone?" there is no man better qualified to answer than Davis, Houston and Henry Lincoln Johnson. And the fact that Davis asks, but does not undertake to answer them himself, exposes the flimishness of the subterfuge with which they are now trying to hoodwink the Odd Fellows of the country. They have built these two straw men and have knocked them down. That will hardly get Line any vote. will hardly get Linc, any votes. The very iniquity of the insination published will lose them some out of the few votes that they have. It is "big talk" in the newspapers, but neither Davis nor Linc. Johnson will dare prefer any charges before the voters at the B. M. C. To answer some questions about certain expenditures that might have been asked, but were not, would cause them to immediately scamper to the tall timber if they thought they would be compelled to answer them. About the weakest dope that they could have put in cold print is that dialogue between George Hall and Henry Lincoln Johnson, over the responsibility for the Supreme Court. First, I ought to say something about this fellow Hall. He was at one time a member of a lodge in Savannah, Ga., but has been around Washington several years hoping against hope that Linc. would get him a government job. He was in the city a short time ago visiting the lodges, showing his mouthful of gold teeth, and asking the brethren to render him assistance. He joined Rising Sun Lodge in Washington some time ago, for the purpose of being elected delegate, so that Linc. might have somebody in the District of Columbia delegation that he could use. Imagine my surprise when I saw in one of the papers to which the dialogue had been sent a letter bearing Hall's signature, and in which letter he stated that he was an humble floor member of Rising Sun Lodge No. 1365 and would be at Boston. In this letter (which is part of the dialogue) Hall says: "My Dear Brother Johnson: *.*.* * I have known you for twenty years as a fair man, full of sympathy (etc.)*.* * I want you to give me some light on this Supreme Court matter." Now, no one need believe that Hall ever wrote any such letter. It is pretty much like the one that Linc. sent to his man Friday, Harry Cummings, in Baltimore, telling him to copy and sign it as if he were writing it himself and send it to a party in Richmond along with the answer which accompanied it, so that the Richmond party could in like manner copy and sign the answer and return all to Linc., so that it could be sent to a paper for publication. Part two of the dialogue is Linc's answer to Hall's letter, and, in part, reads thus: "My 'Dear Bro. Hall': I want first to thank you for the kind words you employ in speaking of, my attitude (etc.) * * * There is only one way to be in this world, and that way is to be straight," etc. He then proceeded to tell how Morris was the sole progenitor of the court—which Line, in his letter only, very little foundling. "Now he both Davis and Line. know full well that that court was gotten up by. Houston to give him and Davis jobs when their term on the Sub. ended. It came through Dawson Lodge, of which Davis was then a member, and both Davis and Houston have held the jobs since the court was organized. Davis says the court has cost only $12,000 in four years. Maye so, but that amount represents the per capita tax of 200,000 members or the dues (at 25 cents per month) of 48,000 members, and the members cannot see that it is worth that much. Incidentally Line, knows that their scheme is, even if the court is abolished, and the Davis forces get elected, they will nullify the law in order to keep Davis and Houston in the job and provide for other friends. Houston told several friends of mine that he was commissioned for eight years and he intended to get eight years' pay. They are making a great play to the galleries in advocating retrenchment, but if the law cutting down salaries and taxes is passed and they should get in, they will fix it so they can get the same old pay. Unless I am sadly mistaken, no delegate who was present at Atlanta would vote to elect any man to any office who put up such a scandalous exhibition as did Linc. MODOC A Disgraceful Spectacle—M mayor of Boston Withtholds $8,500 Donation—Looks Like a Riot. Boston, Aug. 31.—In an editorial in the Amsterdam News under the caption "The Seventeenth B. M. C" it says: "Indications are that Henry Lincoln Johnson will be the next grand secretary, but whether Johnson succeeds Morris or Houston succeeds, Needham will not be of acute importance, as they are all good men. "Can these things be and overcome us like a summer's cloud without our special wonder?" So "Brer" Johnson has ridden himself of the grand master bee, eh? We suspect there is a method in his madness. It occurs to us that "Brer" Johnson is now a statesman out of a job and the salary of the grand secretary has more charms for him than the grand master's office could possibly have. Since his chief Benjamin J. Davis has submitted a proposition for this convention to consider, making the salary of G. S. $18,00 a year, it is dawning on "Link" that this is easy money and possibly more than he could earn practicing law in Georgia. To follow a grand master who is the leading jurist of the country and whose income from his law practice is way up in the thousands, indeed so far up that he can afford to give his salary of grand master away, is no easy task for one like "Brer" Johnson. In the parlance of the street, what gets our goat is Houston succeeding Needham. How is he going to do it? Who is going to put him there? He parted company with his brains when he broke away from Edward H. Norris, who made him grand master and carried him throughout his administration. How sharper than a serpent's tooth is an ungrateful child. No (our esteemed contemporary), he can never come back. His valedictory at Baltimore was for time and eternity. As to these individuals being "good men," that is a debatable question and a great deal could be said on the other side. It is now just fourteen days before this great organization of colored men and women will open its session in Boston and it is with regret that we find the note of discord is sounding throughout the width and breadth of the land, and, too, by the "real cream" of the race, i.e., lawyers, doctors, editors and business men of every stamp. We find the grand master is being called a liar, a grafter, a bungler; in fact, everything but a gentleman. Remember, gentle reader, this is true of the men of an organization which has for its motto Friendship, Love and Truth. (God save the mark.) But what concerns us most is the sad condition of affairs which exists right here in cultured Boston, and within the local committee, which is also on a "split," here again we find even the officials of the B. M. C. Committee sending out warnings through the public press and calling their "Brothers" thieves, "social trimmers," bushwhackers, etc., while others are being called "male-factors," "Cash on Hand Committee" and heaven knows what else. In fact, the affair has become so serious until (so it is reported) the mayor of the city of Boston has withheld the donation of $500 which had been promised the committee. Men of prominence from this committee, and as such we expect more of them than what we would be true of the ordinary man—yet, we again remind these men that a spirit of unity should exist. Team work is badly needed if we would have success. Remember, gentlemen of the Order of Odd Fellows, "Governments have their origin in the moral identity of men." Give us more team work and less mud-slinging. JUBILEE ARCH To Be Dedicated-An Event of Unusual Significance. September 15 will be a gala day on Lincoln Heights. A memorial arch, now in the course of erection, will be dedicated. William Harrison, the distinguished harriser from Oklahoma, and said to be one of the most attractive orators in the country, will deliver the dedicatory address. Hon. H. B. F. Maefarland is one of the speakers. The arch is erected by the Woman's Convention, Auxiliary to the National Baptist Convention, as their fiftieth anniversary tribute to Abraham Lincoln for emancipation. The convention will hold its fourteenth annual session in Philadelphia and will come to Washington to hold its closing session. The National Baptist Convention proper, of which the Woman's Auxiliary is a part, will unite with the women in the big demonstration on Lincoln Heights. Dr. E. C. Morris will preside. The Arch Commission, appointed by two organizations, is composed of Rev. W. H. Jernagin, Mrs. S. C. J. Bryant, Rev. L. G. Jordan, Mrs. S. Willie Layten, Miss L. Toliver, Rev. J. E. Wood and Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, secretary. It is pleasing to note that this work of art is being done by members of the race: Isaac Hathaway, the sculptor, has the work of making the heroic size marble bust of Lincoln that is to adorn the center. J. A. Moore, the architect, drew the working plans, and Wm. H. Dorssey, an ex-slave, is the builder of the arch. The idea was conceived and crystalized by Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, secretary of the organization and president of the National Training School. The arch serves as a splendid adornment to the entrance to the institution. It is the only sustantial tribute paid to Lincoln by the race, during the Jubilee Pear. The spirit of the promoters will be appreciated by those who know the value of genuine gratitude. Following the exercises on Lincoln Heights, the delegates will hold big meetings in the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church. Mt. Curtis Baptist Church, Metropolitan Baptist and Florida Avenue. Attractive speakers have been assigned to each church and those in charge are expecting a full day of good things. Washington is invited to turn out en masse at the school and churches. Thus far the following announcements of speakers have been made: Mt. Carmel Baptist Church—Rev W. H. Jernagin, pastor; Rev. A. Johnson, Mississippi; Rev. E. Arlington Wilson, Oklahoma; Rev. E. J. Fisher, Illinois; Hon. Wm. Harrison, Rev. C. H. Parrish and Rev. E. W. D. Isaac. Nineteenth Street Baptist Church—Rev W. H. Brooks, pastor; Dr. A. C. Powell; New York; Rev P. J. Bryant, Georgia; Dr. E. C. Morris, Arkansas; Rev I. N. Ross, Maryland. Florida Avenue Baptist Church—Rev W. A. Taylor, pastor; Rev W. H. Moses, Rev I. K. Williams, Rev Sutton E. Griggs. Metropolitan Baptist Church—Dr. M. W. D. Norman, pastor; Mrs. S. C. J. Bryant, Georgia; Dr. L. L. Campbell, Texas; Prof. John Hope, Georgia; Dr. J. E. Ford, Florida; Rev. R. H. Boyd, Tenhessee. MR. JUSTICE WRIGHT The Great Jurist Vindicates Himself. Denies Charges of His Accusers LAYS OPEN THE TESTIMONY OF WITNESSES IN A HUNDRED-PAGE ANSWER Justice Daniel Thew Wright of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia Wednesday, August 20, answered all of the impeachment charges brought against him by Wade H. Cooper, and presented in the House of Representatives by Representative Park of Georgia. Justice Wright made his answer to the sub-committee by reading a hundred-page typewritten statement, in which he took up in detail every one of the charges. Much of the statement was of a legal and technical character; occasionally he would charge a witness with having "uttered a false testimony," and in general he declared that his conduct had been blameless throughout. "Denying as I do," he said, "any and all charges of judicial misconduct, it is no more than fair and just to myself to say, because it is true, that, deriving my descent from an ancestry whip for more than 100 consecutive years have been members and among the leaders of the bar of Ohio, from which State I come, I have been imbued with a reverence and a sense of the responsibility of judicial statements so profound that it has been to me inconceivable that a judge in the discharge of his duty should be one jot or title surrender or swayed except by his solemn judgment of the law, or that any motive should influence or postseize him other than the maintenance of its justice and supremacy. "This I have endeavored to do, and, to the full extent of my own consciousness have done, without fear or favor; but I have learned that the judge who discharges his duty according to his own highest convictions may not serve or please his critics or escape the hostility of partisans when temporary interests displace from their minds true and just conceptions of the principles of right and justice, upon adherence to which the maintenance of the supremacy of the law, and therewith the safety of the people and the stability of government, must depend. "It has happened to me to stand for the maintenance and enforcement of the law in moments of its unpopularity, with powerful interests, and at the cost to myself of misunderstanding and attacks; but for this action on my part, resulting solely and inevitably from my conviction of my duty, whatever the consequences to myself. I have no regret to feel or apology to offer." Indictment of Cooper Referring to the indictment of Wade H. Cooper for libel, Judge Wright said: "I have been informed that the committee or some of its members have intimated disapproval of my part in the indictment of Mr. Wade H. Cooper for criminal libel in furnishing to newspapers for publication the charges against me which I have above set forth, in view of which information it is perhaps proper for me to state what that part was, and the circumstances accompanying it. "The charges were, among others, of improper relations between myself and female litigants in the court over which I preside; of misconduct amounting to larceny in obtaining surrender to me, without payment, of a promissory note, in defraud of the creditors of the corporation to which such note had been given by me, or wrongfully and corruptly accepting favors from the counsel of corporations having litigation before me, of appointing one of my friends receiver or trustee in practically all cases coming before me in which the appointment of a receiver or trustee was required and either exacting or requiring favors at the hands of such appointee, including payment to me of a part of the fees received by him in the position to which I had appointed him. No Truth to Support Charges. "No one of these charges has the slightest foundation in fact, or even the shadow or color of truth to support it: I took no action in regard to them until I had been advised that the Judiciary Committee of the House of Representatives had declined to act upon them because unverified and upon their face professing to be based merely upon alleged rumors, nor until Mr. Cooper had been reported to me as stating that he had accomplished his purpose by the publication of the charges and proposed to do nothing further about them. "In this situation and after advising with counsel and with disinterested friends in whose judgment I placed reliance, to lay these charges before the United States District Attorney for the District of Columbia, together with certain evidence which had come to me tending to show that Mr. Invades the 'East'—Plays Excellent Games—A Great Time. (Special to The Bec.) Jersey City. N. J. Aug. 20.-On August 7 Messrs. John Cromwell, Talley Holmes. Lewis Johnson and Henry Booker boarded the train for Philadelphia. Pa., their first invasion of the East, to participate in the Tennis Tournament of the Chautauqua Tennis Club of that city. They were joined on Monday, the 10th, by Mr. Maley Douglass and the 12th by Mr. J. F. N. Wilkinson. Rain was encountered the first part of the week and very few matches were pulled off; but the middle of the week things assumed a different aspect and the tournament was rush through, the finale in singles and doubles being completed Saturday evening. The first victory of the trip perched on our banners. Mr. Talley won the Class A cup; Mr. Henry Booker, Class B, and Messrs. Cromwell and Holmes the cups for the doubles. Mr. Wilkinson forced Mr. Holmes to play all the tennis that was in him and only after a long draw-out contest was able to land the bacon. Dr. Hopkins, of Philadelphia, was Mr. Booker's opponent in the final round of Class B, and also made the latter extend himself to win out. Messrs. Wilkinson and Johnson did not play up to their usual standard in the doubles, but made it interesting in the finals for Messrs. Holmes and Cromwell. Quite a large and enthusiastic gallery witnessed the games. The ladies were bedecked in their prettiest gowns and made a secure worth going miles to see. On Saturday evening the Chautauqua Club entertained us at a smoker held in the Keystone Aid Society Hall. A literary and musical program was rendered by the members' and guests of the club and was responded to with coasts by the visiting delegation. All went home with praise on their lips for our hosts, who are game to the core and invited us back next year to carry some more cups back home with us. Qwing to pressure of business. Messrs. Douglass, Booker and Johnson had to return home and Messrs. Holmes. Cromwell and Wilkinson continued their trip by journeying to New York City to take part in the tournament of the Turf Tennis Club. Mr. Maurice Clifford of Washington, D. C. was the promoter of the tournament, which proved one of the best managed affairs we have ever taken part in. The matches were run off with a degree of regularity that is seldom carried out in tournaments. After several gruelling contests and wholesale eliminations. Messrs. Holmes and Wilkinson again battled in the finals for premier honors with the same result as, in Philadelphia, Mr. Holmes, winning. Messrs. Holmes and Cromwell again won the cups for the doubles. Messrs. Wilkinson and Mr. T. C. Clark of Flushing being the runner's up in the finals. We next journeyed to Orange, where we played the Oriole Tennis Club of East Orange, N. J., four sets of singles and two sets of doubles. We made a clean sweep of the series, not losing a single match. We were highly entertained at Douglass Hall in the evening, the dance being given in our honor where all the neighboring cities were well represented by the fair sex. Montclair, N. J., was our next destination. We were about to commence hostilities when Jupiter Pluvius put in his appearance and called a halt, much to our disappointment, for we had figured on adding another scalp to our belts. Dr. Burnett saw that no stone was left unturned in providing for comfort and pleasure. A host of friends were invited to meet us at his home in the evening and quite an enjoyable time was spent in games, song and delving into the mysteries of the terpsichorean art. The Association Tennis Club representatives are highly elated over their very successful trip and the gracious hospitality bestowed on them wherever they went. If we are spared to see another year we hope to make quite an extended trip in the East and are very solicitous of exchanging volleys across the net with the following tennis clubs of New York and vicinity: Turf, Idle Hour, Smart Set, Williamsbridge, Flushing, Newark, Orange, Elizabeth and Montclair of New Jersey and New Haven, Conni. The Association of Tennis Clubs of Washington, D. C. holds its annual open tournament on its courts, corner of Thirteenth and T Streets Northwest, from September 7 to 12, inclusive. Entrance fee, 50 cents for singles and 50 cents for doubles. Silver cups for prizes. We are very desirous of having entries from all the above-named clubs. Philadelphia, Baltimore, Wilmington, Virginia and West Virginia are well represented each year. This is the hanner tournament of the year among our people and tennis enthusiasts should avail themselves of the opportunity of seeing all the stars of the different sections in action. We have three regulation courts to play on. Entries close September 5. Address all communications to the Association Tennis Club, in care of Mr. Lewis Johnson, secretary Y. M. C.A.

Offered by Everybody's Magazine of New York for the Best Discussion of the Subject: "What We've Learned About Rum" (the Liquor Question) -Isaac Fisher, Tuskegee Graduate, Educator, Prize Essayist, Leads All American Writers and Takes Prize. (Reprinted from The Tuskegee Student. Tuskegee Institute Ala.) "Everybody's Magazine" for September, 1914, published in New York City, contains the announcement that its first prize of five hundred dollars for the best letter on the subject, "What We've Learned About Rum, or Rum, and Remedies" has been awarded to Isaac Fisher, formerly of Vicksburg, Miss., but now of Tuskegee Institute, Ala. Of his essay, the editors of Everybody's Magazine write as follows: "The article below is selected by us from some 9,000 letters as the best all-round discussion of rum. Certain other letters have presented more extensive scientific analysis, but have confined the discussion to particular phases. Others have been brilliant in literary quality, but lacking in logical progression and care in the statement of facts. The letter below (Mr. Fisher's) sums up the facts about rum with admirable comprehensiveness and a telling directness of style, and offers some remarkably sane suggestions." What will send a thrill of pride through the hearts of all colored people, beneath the flags of many nations, is the fact that Isaac Fisher is a Negro; and every colored man, woman and child may proudly say: "He is one of us." If any man in America deserves the title, "Doctor of Philosophy," it is this man; because he has done, again and again, more work in the philosophic exposition of economic questions of world-wide importance than any university has ever required of a candidate for the doctorate. His past record fully bears out this statement. Without even mentioning a large number of contests in which he has been winner and in which the prizes were less than ten dollars, this man, a Negro, a Tuskegee graduate, in nation-wide contests with the best brains in America, of all races, has been prize winner twice or more times, and he has won on the following subjects, either one of which contains original work of the quality—higher than the quality—of the theses required by American, universities from candidates seeking the degree of Doctor of Philosophy: 1. "What We've Learned About the Rum Question." $500. 2. "German and American Methods of Regulating Trusts," $400. (Alone and unaided, Mr. Fisher had to master in a few months sufficient reading knowledge of German to be able to write this essay.) 3. "Ten Best Reasons Why People Should Go to Missouri" $100. 4. "A Plan to Give the South a System of Highways Suited to Its Needs," $100. 5. "Scales and the Housewife," $50. 6. "Digest of the Uses of Adding Machines," $50. 7. "The Relation Between Manual Training in the Public Schools and Industrial Education and Efficiency," $10. 8. "The Most Practicable Method of Beginning a Reduction of the Tariff," honorable mention. (This essay was upon the request of its chief examiner, sent to the United States Tariff Board for its use.) These are only the big essays Mr. Fisher has, written. At the recent meeting of the Associated Advertising Clubs of the World, in Toronto, Canada, Mr. Fisher's paper on "Advertising and Selling" was selected by the Committee on Awards as one of the "Forty-nine Best on the Subject," thereby giving him a winning place in the first international context he has entered. Tuskegee Institute, his alma mater, is passing proud of him and his record. He is one of her most loyal sons and nothing seems to give him greater pleasure than to say that he owes everything to Tuskegee. He has studied in no other school. It may be that the race has not fully realized the real significance of what Mr. Fisher is doing for the race in his own way, and line. In verity he is blazing a broad trail for us all in a direction and with a success not true of any other colored person; and he is a master in his line. No question, however taxing to the American statesman or publicist, seems too difficult for him; and the thing which makes glad the heart of every loyal Negro is that, however eminent and learned the other competitors and writers, when Mr. Fisher, working under his famous motto, used with telling effect in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch essay and in the essay on rum—"Get the Truth"—turn his mind to the analysis of a question, judges who do not know his race almost invariably place the results of his investigations, his essays, his philosophy at the head of all those who compete. What the colored people want Isaac Fisher to do now is to prepare some books for and about the Negro—some enduring works that colored children may read and be helped; some deathless classic that will inspire the race through all times. He is at present editing the Negro Farmer here at Tuskegee Institute. THE OLDEST INHABITANTS. They Came Together and Enjoyed Themselves. The Oldest Inhabitants' Association (Colored) of the District of Columbia is to be congratulated on the splendid success of their second annual picnic, which led large numbers of Washington stay-at-homes to seek the restful shades of Green Willow Park on Saturday, the 15th instant. Although this day is generally looked upon with disfavor for such affairs (probably for the reason alone that custom has not formerly so used it), the large attendance on this occasion at least approves the committee's decision to accept that date, which alone was available, rather than forego the pleasure of bringing the association and its many friends together again, in so pleasurable and so old-fashioned a way. It was observed that the attendance was not one whit behind that of last year and the enthusiasm, congeniality and general good humor was, as before, everywhere observable. Evidences of this spirit of enjoyment were to be found at every turn—in the smiling faces of gray-haired mothers and fathers, as they marked the progress of nimble feet, moving to the rhythmic symphonies of the Wooding orchestra; in the delight of young men and maidens, as they strolled about the well kept lawn. "the world forgetting and by the world forgot," and in the hearty laugh and jolly fellowship of any number of good-natured old hasbeens, as they tucked away a juicy old ham and cabbage dinner; or quietly smoked and fondly gazed on the scene of life and joy before them. In this gathering of Saturday there might have been noticed representatives of the best citizens of every class—the high, the low; the rich, the poor; the cultured and the unlettered. There, too, was Miss "An," just as white as anybody and all the shades from a golden-west yellow to a sunburnt brown, and then, too, there was that forever and ever changeless "black" whose everlasting tint has ever been and must needs remain the dependable color heritage of all the ages and of every clime. Yes, they are all there, differences of every kind forget—no color, no riches, no poverty: but lots of good, substantial, honorable and intelligent citizens. Pride of race and pride of residence are their characteristic. To stimulate the one and render the latter reasonable and more natural through the achievement of a more liberal recognition of their rights as citizens are the aims in view. The association has just published for distribution a very interesting pamphlet embodying the address of the historian, delivered on the occasion of the anniversary and banquet, April 16 last, which is rich with local historical data pertaining to the Negro. The Oldest Inhabitants have already achieved a large place in the affections of the public and with devotion to its ideals, should prove a considerable factor in the uplift and progress of our people. Segregation Illegal in Alabama. Birmingham, Ala.-The Board of Commissioners of Birmingham has had before it for several days a resolution which had for its object the segregation of the white and colored people in this city. When the matter was brought to the attention of the colored people a few of the business and professional men quietly organized a little campaign among themselves. They got the leading colored people and white people and with their united forces made an effort to defeat the proposed ordinance. The colored people went before the Board of Commissioners, who received them in a most courteous and kindly way, and after the colored people were here, a unanimous vote was passed to postpone any action looking toward segregation of the races in Birmingham. This is taken to mean that the power action is dead. NEGRO CHILDREN Taking the Lead—Southern White Children Compelled to Seek Work While the Colored Go to School—Says Miss Eschenbrenner. Winona, Miss—In the South today the Negro children are attending school and receiving an education while the children of the white residents are going into the cotton mills to a life of drudgery with opportunity entirely closed behind them," said Miss P. J. Eschenbrenner, membership secretary of the National Child Labor Committee of New York. "It is a condition that we find true in spite of the apparent lack of logic" she continued. "The white children will not work with the Negroes and as a con-sequence the mills are closed to colored children in order that the whites may be packed into the workshops. The Negro children, as a result, are going to school. Negro Boy Does Clerical Work. A prominent southern cotton mill employer told me recently that he was compelled to employ a colored boy for clerical work in the office of the plant because there were no qualified white children there.—Pittsburg Courier. Merit Recognized Montgomery, Ala., Aug. 18.—A rather unusual thing happened in Montgomery recently. The white Business, League, composed of the leading bankers, merchants and professional men in the city of Montgomery, a few days ago selected a committee of leading citizens to go to Washington for the purpose of conferring with the officials in Washington regarding an appropriation covering the improvement of waterways in Alabama and the securing of funds with which to market the present cotton crop. Before completing the list of delegates to go to Washington, the white Business, League conferred with the colored Local League and asked the colored league to select a delegate or delegates to go with the members of the white league to Washington. The colored league complied with this request and selected Dr. W. F. Watkins, who left on the same train with the white delegates, and is now in Washington performing his duties in connection with the object of the trip. The greatest sight-seeing conveyance in public use is a passenger-carrying barge fitted to carry sight-seers through the Panama Canal. Its foundation is a steel barge, 151 feet long, 32 feet beam, 10 feet 7 inches in depth and 360 gross tons, which was brought to the Isthmus in 1909. The seats are arranged in tiers, gradually descending from a height of 9 inches in the rear to 2 feet at the forward end, and there is standing room for passengers on the roof. The hungry tramp told his tale. It touched the kind heart of the lady of the house. He ate the food she gave him and started wearily on his way. "And how," said she sympathetically, "did the hand laundry you were managing come to fail on you?" He glanced round, it might be, as if he suspected the dog were within call. Then, passing out and closing the gate, he said, "She quit and went home to her mother." Have The Bee sent to your hom SAY GERMANS USE DUMDUM BULLETS SAMPLES ARE SUBMITTED. These Bullets Are Cylindrical and Conical With Split Ends—Their Hollow Noses Expand on Impact, Causing Terrible Wounds—The Hague Conference Forbade Use. Paris.—Of great interest to military students is the charge made by the French government that the Germans used on one of the first days of the war dumdum bullets. The charge was never substantiated. A sample of the bullets found in French dead have been submitted to the war office. The dumdum bullet is made with a hollow nose which causes the metal to expand on impact, thus creating an ugly wound. They were first made in the town of Dumdum, in British India. The bullets were first used in the Indian frontier fighting by the British owing to the failure of the usual type of bullets to stop the rushes of the fanatical tribesmen. At the second Hague conference all the powers except Great Britain and the United States agreed to stop the use of this kind of bullet. The charge was made, however, by Italian officers in the war with the Turks in Tripoll that the enemy was using the dumdum bullets. From the condition of the wounded the doctors declared that such was the case. The powers were notified and promised to draw the attention of the Ottoman government to the violation. Later, in the Balkan war, the Turks got a dose of their own medicine from the Montenegrins. On Oct. 21, 1912, the Turks said that the foe was using the proscribed bullets at Tuszl and Berama. Again the powers made representation to the Montenegrins. Accusations were made in the Boer war that the British were using the dumdums. This was never proved. In the Russia-Japan war the Japs first accused the Russians of using dumdums, and some were said to have been found at Linoyang. The Russian officers denied that the bullets came from their side when the powers took up the matter. Later in the campaign General Linevitch asserted that the Japanese were using dumdums, and the usual denials to the powers followed. SAVES BLAZING CHURCH. Pastor Crane Sees Bolt Hit Steepe and Rushes to Rescue. Pittsfield, Mass.-The Rev. William Merriam Crane, pastor of the Congregational church here, said to be the wealthiest minister in Berkshire county, saved his church from burning when it was struck by lightning. A bolt landed on the steepe and played up and down the slides. It cut a six foot gash in the tower and in its course toore plaster and lathing from the walls. Mr. Crane, from Morningside, his country place, saw the bolt, hurried to the church in his automobile and climbed into the belfry. There he found a fire starting and quickly put it out, unlaid. FOOD MAKES JAIL POPULAR. Women Who Cook It Give Prisoners Rare "Grub." Columbus, Ind. - The Bartholomew county jail has such an excellent reputation for its cuisine that it is always filled with county "boarders." Sheriff Burns has begun to protest to his women folk who do the cooking that he is being discriminated against in favor of the prisoners. He says he must defer his meals until the inmates are fed, and then the food left for him is scanty. There are eighteen men in the jail, and they are given coffee three times a day, with other things in proportion. When a tramp "lights" here the first place he breaks for is the county jail. IMMENSE COTTON LEAVES. North Carolina Grows Them Twelve Inches Wide. Lumberton, N. C.-Did you ever see a cotton leaf that measures twelve and a half inches across? F. A. Wishart brought one to a newspaper office here. It measured that much, and there were plenty more, he salted, in the field where that came from, on the Strong Wishart place, about three miles west of Lumberton. Seven or eight inches is a pretty good size for cotton leaves, so you can see that these cotton leaves have attained an unusual growth. Wisconsin Pioneer Is 101. Amery. Wis—Heading four generations, William C. Wright says he is the oldest resident of Wisconsin. Mr. Wright is 101 years and 5 months old. He makes his home with his son. William H. Wright, near here. Mrs. Elizabeth Handbelt, daughter of William H. Wright, and her son, Norman, make up the fourth generation circle. The aged Wright is a pioneer resident of the state CARREL TREATING WOUNDED. Famous Surgeon Has Charge of Big French Army Hospital. Paris.—Dr. Alexis Carrel of the Rockefeller Institute For Medical Research of New York was about to leave for the United States, but at the outbreak of war he canceled his departure and is now in charge of a big hospital DR. ALEXIS CARREL. where the French wounded are treated, Writing of the war to a friend, he says: "France has been transformed in miraculous fashion. Individuals themselves have changed. I could never have believed it had I not seen it with my own eyes. Most perfect order prevails, and enthusiasm grows daily. I am more and more convinced that the men are animated with that spirit that can never be vanquished. "I am seeking men ready literally to give their blood for transfusions to wounded soldiers. Already I have found a doctor and an attorney and hope soon to have several others." INTERNAL REVENUE RECEIPTS SHOW GAIN United States Income Largest In History of Nation. Washington.—Receipts from internal revenue, including the income and corporation taxes, were larger in the fiscal year 1914 than ever before in its history, according to a preliminary report by the commissioner of the internal revenue. From all sources other than income and corporation tax the collectors brought in $208,627,610, less by $790,535 than collections from similar sources the previous fiscal year. From the corporation and income tax, however, they collected $71,381,275, surpassing the revenue from the corporation tax in 1913 by more than $36,000,000. The total internal revenue amounted to $880,088,894 to June 30, 1914, or about $35,500,000 more than the previous fiscal year. The principal item of decrease was in taxes on distilled spirits, which fell off by $4,781,415. Cigarettes brought in about $2,666,116 and fermented liquors about $814,523 additional. From the corporation excise tax the government received about $10,671,077, from the corporation income tax about $32,456,633 and from the individual tax about $28,233,555. The exact amount of expense, the commissioner says, has not been determined, but to collect this vast sum, he says, cost approximately $7,705,000, compared with $5,484,600 for the previous fiscal year. The normal income tax amounted to $12,728,038. The returns from this tax were largest in amount from incomes exceeding $100,000 and not more than $250,000. From this source the income was $3,835,948 and from incomes exceeding $500,000 it was $3,437,550. Of the total collected, spirits brought in $163,579,343, tobacco $76,789,425, fermented liquor $66,266,900, oleomargarine $1,259,087 and playing cards $655,283, with smaller amounts for miscellaneous items. New York state paid about $62,000,000 in internal revenue taxes and Illinois about $61,000,000; Kentucky was third with about $35,000,000 and Pennsylvania fourth with $33,000,000. HUNTS FOSSILS IN TEXAS. Party Searches Panhandle For Traces of Prehistoric Animals. Dallas, Tex.-Dr. Edward L. Troxell, representing the Peabody museum of Yale university, has been in Dallas on his way to Tulsa and the head of Rock creek. In the Texas Panhandle, where he is conducting an expedition in the hope of obtaining fossils of the ancient horse that became extinct in America 200,000 years ago, the pleistocene elephant and camel and other animals that are said to have settled in the Panhandle long before the present age of man. "Two years ago," said Dr. Troxell, "the university sent Professor Lull and a party on an expedition to the Panhandle to look for fossils. The expedition was so successful that they are sending out another. On our last trip we found fragments of the three toed horse, elephants, camels, sloths and the ancient horse which became extinct 200,000 years ago. This year we hope to find more specimens of these fossils." INSTRUCTS AMBASSADORS. Secretary Bryan Tells Diplomats Abroad How to Conduct Affairs. Washington—Secretary Bryan issued instructions to diplomatic and consular officers of the United States who have been intrusted with the interests of the nations now at war. Few realize the delicate position of this office, the duties suddenly thrust upon them and the consequent amount of labor they are compelled to perform. United States diplomatic and consular officers are serving the interests of Germany; France, Belgium, Russia, Great Britain, Austria and Japan. In the instructions sent out by Secretary Bryan the American representatives are cautioned to not overstep the straight line of their duties for fear it would make the neutrality of the United States appear partial. The instructions said, in part: "Bear in mind the general usages of nations in relation to the functions exercised by you on all such occasions." Further, the instructions added, "The care and protection of the interests of the nations for whom you are acting are based upon the consent of both foreign governments concerned. This consent may be withdrawn at any time by either or both." Another instruction, "Bear in mind you are the representative of a neutral power whose attitude toward the parties to the conflict is one of impartial amity." An explanation by state department officials of the instructions showed that, in the main, the attitude of the representatives of the United States acting for the belligerents is that of a vehicle of communication; also to protect the property and natives of the nations for whom they are acting. In this connection the instructions state that before seeking recourse to the raising of the American flag over the embassy, legation or consulate of the nations for whom they are acting as a means of protecting them strong representations should be made to the government in whose territory the property may be located and that necessity may be avoided. WARRING POWERS OWN NEARLY ALL OF AFRICA Natural Resources of Possessions Among Richest. Washington. — The African possessions and protectorates of the European powers now at war are more than three times as large as continental United States. They are more than three times as large as all of Europe now plunged in war and are eleven times larger than England, France, Germany and Belgium, which control them. They occupy 9,667,531 of Africa's 11,513,000 square miles. "The largest individual holder of African territory is France, with 5,812,000 square miles, more than 1,500,000 of which is the Salarua desert," says the society's statement. "England controls 3,618,215 square miles, Belgium, with Belgian Kongo as its sole possession, 802,000 square miles, and Germany 1,055,066 square miles. These figures make surprising contrasts with those of the European holdings of these countries. European France consists of 207,644 square miles; England, 121,301 square miles; Belgium, 11,373 square miles; Germany, 208,780 square miles. "England leads in the population of her African dependencies, with a total of 40,458,500 inhabitants, more than 2,000,000 of whom are Europeans. The bulk of her white population is in the Union of South Africa, which consists of Good Hope, Natal, the Transvaal and Orange River Colony and in which dwell nearly 1,500,000 foreigners." There are approximately 40,000,000 people living in French African possessions, more than 1,000,000 of whom are white. The center of France's white population is Algeria, where nearly 600,000 Europeans and 5,000,000 natives live. There are 15,000,000 people in Belgian Kongo, 5,455 of whom are white, and 12,205,500 German subjects in her dependencies, of whom nearly 20,000 are Europeans. Thirteen thousand of these live in German Southwest Africa. "The natural resources of many of these African possessions are among the richest in the world. The Union of South Africa, under British control, exported in 1910 $154,500,000 in gold and $40,190,000 in diamonds. The imports and exports of Algeria, a French possession, exceeded $223,000,000 in 1912. Belgian Kongo's exports now pass the $15,000,000 mark annually, while Germany's countries are sending to other countries about $25,000,000 worth of produce annually." LIGHTNING SKINS A MAN. Bolt Passes Down His Back, Paralyzing Him. Orlando, Fla. - The narrow escape from death by lightning of Charles Nystrom, a former Senalia (Kau) citizen, is miraculous. Striking him on the back between the shoulders, the bolt passed down his back and legs, partially paralyzing him from the waist down. He was literally skinned alive, and his outer skin was burned to a crisp. At last accounts he was regaining the use of his limbs in spite of his terrible experience, but it is thought he cannot recover. = ee, Published at . ird9 Eye St. N. W. Washington, BG” : ) W.

SS eS eee Ree ee nearly two hundred thousand in this city, who pay taxes upon mil- Fons of dollars worth of real and personal property. “This colored population is one-third of the entire population of the District of Co- ltimbia, and not a representative place is held by one of its number in the local government. There are three colored clerks in our local government. There was no reason for keeping a colored representa- tive off the Excise ae and there was no reason for not appointing a Negro probation officer. Judge Latimer, who makes no pretentions of being a Negro lover or an ad- mirer of a Negro, because his past record would contradict any dec- laration that he ever cared for Ne- groes, has gone so far as to give the colored people a colored female ‘probation officer and had it been left to the masses of the people they would have selected a woman who comes nearer being the repre- sentative of the people than the one he appointed. Such a woman as Mrs, Julia M. Layton, Mrs. Rosetta E. Lawson, are ideal women who represent: something and who woukl fill the bill. Mrs. Layton is a thorough” going woman, highly educated and known by everyone: Mrs, Lawson has a national rep- utation.as a Christian worker. She is not only highly educated, but a ‘woman of experience. Both - of these women are Women of high! character, and whose good deeds ‘fave ahvays been in the dircetion of elevating their people. | Just how some of the appointing powers get it into their heads that, only certain classes of men and wontren represent. the people.

Hoth were formerly teachers in the colored schools in this city, and honorably resigned after their marriage. Out of the great number of male attaches at the Juvenile Court not a colored face can lie seen, although at least one-half of the prisoners belong to the colored race. The Police Court is likewise barred from colored representation in the clerk’. office. The United States Marshal hay strained a point to appomml a Negro Democrat deputy United States Marshal. This name sounds big, but there is not much to it. Already a Negro apologist has. sent broadcast that this Negro Democrat is the first man to be appointed to such a po- sition. | Well, if all of his Ties are iike this, the world would he void of the truth under all conditions. The Bee can name-a colored man who held the deputy marshalship in deed and in fact—Isaac.N. Cary. Te had his headquarters at the Police Court. F.C. Reed was a deputy at the Police Court. Lewis Douglas ‘was first assistant to his illustrious father. Fred. Douglass, ds. was a deputy: indeed there were several colored United States deputy marshals long before the al- lexed colored Democrat to which reference was made in a local cor- respondence to out of town papers Mr. Henry Johnson acted as depu- ty in the place of the white mar who has been made deputy it charge of the Police Court. Mr. Johnson is a qualified colored offi: cial, but he must take his place in the rear ranks like all other colored men, under this government. The time will soon come The Bee hopes when Negro citizenshis DOES MERIT COUNT? The Bee has just read in St. Luke Herald with no little surprise that Mrs. Julia H. Hayes has been ap- pointed a salaried deputy in the N.C. field. a What does it mean? Who has to be placed-in Washington that Mrs. Hayes must be sent from her home and where she started and success- fully built St. Lukism? Mrs. Hayes has been identified with St. Luke’s for a quarter of a century. She came to Washington nearly fifteen yeqrs ago and started the work here. She gathered and organizet the first council which bears the world-wide historic name of Phillis Wheatly. There were those here who had been St. Lukes for thirty years who were sending their money back to the states; but not until Mrs. Julia H. Hayes came here in 1900 were the St. Lukes known in Washington. . We have now over fifty charters in the District. The first council /Phillis Wheatly, and the last, Mat- tie R. Bowen, were made by Mrs. Hayes. ‘The only council made in the District last year was the Mat- tie R. Bowen, made by Mrs. Hayes. Now, why should Mrs. Hayes be picked up and sent from the work she hay so faithfully perforined ‘is a mystery to The Bee. Ina few weeks the District Dep- uty will have to be elected and it the St. Lukes of Washington want to show that they regard merit and want in some way to recognize, woman who has been ranning"hight and day for fourteen years to spread this order, they should elect Mrs, Julia I.

Hayes? The Bee stands for Mrs. Hayes first, last and always. We regret that the R.W.G. C. and the executive board did not see the wisdom of leaving Mrs, Hayes with the work she has, built. Yirs Hayes i not now a woman of 23 or 25 years, looking for a new field to conquer. Why should Mrs. Hayes leave?

SCHOOL CHANGES. + Why should there not be certain changes in certain schools controll- ed by the colored people? The Anistrong Manual Training School, the O Street’ Vocational School, the law says, must have heads well versed in the trades or a thorough knowledge of some trade. T€ is an imposition on the tax pay- ers in this city to send their chil- dren to schools whose heads know nothing about trades. A practical ‘man should be at the head of the Armstrong Training School goes without saying, and similar heads should be at the head of the O Street Vocational School. If it is not done Congress will he asked to regulate the colored schools ior trades. The recent investigation into the High School marking down oi teachers ‘should demand the, imme: diate attention. of Superintendents ‘Thurston and Bruce.

Mr, Scott will learn, if he jhas not already, that in se- cret organizations there ix’ as much politics as there is in state elections. Again there was too much jealousy manifested on the part of the older members who believed anil declar- ed that Attorney Scott's election would he a reflection on the alder members of the organization.

Q CLEAN PAPER. “From the memory of man run- neth not to the contyary.” alleged journalistic adventurers who drop down in this city, always sing the old stereotype phrase in their edi- torial bow, that ye shall give the people of this city a clean paper. The Bee has been taught that “cleanliness is holiness” and when you are clean yourself, life is per- petuated.

Many of these apostles of clean- liness are seen in many of the col- ored churches preaching cleanli ness,and if you were permitted te undress them it would require a tor of carbolic acid to lay the stench, If it is not the declaration of a clean paper, it is the declaration that “we have come to fill a long felt want.” Well, from the period which life lasts, we would judge that the people don’t want them tong and their cleanliness is a sham which the people repudiate. | Give cleanliness and a long felt want a rest. | JUDGE WRIGHT SPEAKS. | Before the McCoy Investigating Committee gi@the Senate Wednes- day, August 26th, Justice Daniel ‘Thew Wright, an associate justice ‘of the Supreme Court of the Dis- trict of Columbia, in a hundred page answer denied every allegation in thee harges made against. him. ‘in a concise and most eloquent man- ner.

GERMAN SUPPLY OF FOOD IS LIMITLESS Kaiser's Ambassador to United States Says Hospital Was Made Inside of Fortress and That Attack by Zeppelin Followed—Is Only One Authorized to Speak For Germany Here. Washington.—"Our crops are excellent, and our supply of food could last forever," said Count von Bernstorff, the German ambassador. "Germany is absolutely self sustaining if she wants to be. We are reaping the results of a policy, condemned by certain persons, of keeping up our agriculture at any cost to the nation, so that the country would be able to sustain itself." "But if the men are all gone to war how will the crops be gathered?" "There are sufficient men to reap. We have so many people that we cannot put them all in the army. Germany has a male population of at least 80,000,000. As for our factories, I do not know how many of them are being kept open. There is now hardly any export trade, though goods still go to Italy, to Copenhagen and to Christiana. Some factories are undoubtedly closed, and their workmen have gone to the front. You see, we are at war, and it is likely that all the manufacturing that is being done is of materials that have to do with war necessities." "I should like to make a statement," the ambassador had said. "Nobody is authorized to speak for the German government over here except myself, and any statement that is not covered by my name can be regarded as a fake. "I have nothing new to say regarding the situation with respect to the wireless station at Tuckerton, N. J. I have been consulting with people to whom the station belongs and with lawyers about it, and the situation is still absolutely open. I am trying to get information as to the state of the matter." The attack on Antwerp by a Zeppelin airship and the consequent partial destruction of a hospital were mentioned. "As to whether a hospital in Antwerp has really been touched by bombs I know nothing," said Count Bernstorff. "But there is this to say," he added. "Antwerp is a fortress, made for the purpose of resisting attack. Fortresses have always been bombarded. If a hospital is touched that is deplorable, but it is absolutely the result of a hospital being inside a fortress." An article quoted in one of the New York newspapers, from the pen of a German military writer and published some time ago in Europe, pointing out how easily it would be possible to invade and subdue the United States, was brought up. "I never heard of that writer," said the ambassador. "I should not suppose his work would be of great value if he writes such a ridiculous thing." "Americans have complained that automobiles have been selzed." was suggested. "In war every kind of private property becomes the property of the government. Most of my friends sold their automobiles to the government. No American's car was taken without a receipt being given, and the car or its equivalent will be returned. Why, in France automobiles have been taken. My daughter, the Countess Pourtales, has a little property in Savole, near the frontier and not far from Geneva, and the French selzed her car and gave her just three days to get out of the country. They gave my son, who was visiting her, just twenty-four hours to leave." BIG PROFIT IN THIS WHEAT. A Thirty Acre Tract That Was Not Seeded or Plowed. Kansas City, Mo.—A thirty acre field of wheat that is expected to yield thirty-five bushels to the acre and did not cost the owner a cent for seed or labor until harvest is on the King Farm, southwest of Grandview. It is owned by A. J. King of the King Realty company. Last year the ground was in wheat and yielded thirty-seven bushels to the acre. The harvest was late, the wheat was very ripe and much of it shattered off and lay on the ground. It came up so thickly in the fall that it was pastured down. Mr. King decided to let it stand and see what would be the result without plowing the ground and seeding it again. APPLES, 210,000,000 BUSHELS Department of Agriculture Says Year's Crop Will Exceed 1913. Washington-An apple crop of 210, 000,000 bushels is forecasted by the department of agriculture. That is about 65,000,000 bushels more than last year, but 25,000,000 bushels less than in 1912 and about 4,000,000 bushels less than in 1911. The mean price to producers in the three months of heavy marketing, September, Octo- ber and November, last year was 85.5 cents a bushel. In 1912 it was 622 cents, and in 1911 it was 620 cents. SOUTH TO GROW CATTLE. Department of Agriculture Aims to Educate Southern Farmers. Educate Southern Farmers. Washington.-With a view to inducing the south to grow beef cattle the men of the department of agriculture whose duty it is to figure for the extension of all branches of animal industry are planning for a 500 acre live stock demonstration farm in Louisiana. It will be the first of its kind in the country. There are breeding farms maintained by other governments, but, so far as known, this is the only one the primary purpose of which is to develop breeds of cattle entirely for their beef producing qualities. The farm is to be located on the dividing line between the cane sugar land and the cotton land of the Pellcan State. The boll weevil has made cotton culture in the moist, subtropical part of the state too hazardous. There are many farmers who, when driven out of cotton by the weevil, undertook cane growing. They found, however, that with overflows and occasional frosts, growing cane was about as hazardous as growing cotton. The south is thinking not of dairying, but of growing beef cattle. The farmers have been getting such good prices for their different stock, they have so much corn on hand now, that the weevil has made them think of something other than cotton, that in every county there is a local sentiment favoring the eradication of the tick, a comparatively simple operation, and the growing of cattle for the packing houses. There is nothing wrong with the tick infested cattle from a food point of view, but so long as the tick remains in that country it is next to impossible to improve the breed. The immune cattle are not up to the standard of requirement for profitable shipment. The hauls to market are comparatively long, so it is desirable that the amount of bone, hoof and horn to be transported be reduced to a minimum while the flesh that can be put on the market is brought to the maximum. POPE PIUS X. WAS A CHURCH REFORMER Abolished Veto Privilege of Monarchs In Elections. POPE PIUS X. WAS A CHURCH REFORMER Abolished Veto Privilege of Monarchs In Elections. New York. In the course of an interview Cardinal Gibbons gave it as his opinion that the world had failed in its estimate of the dead pontiff, Plus X., that the judgment of a future day would place the son of a peasant who was raised to the pontifical throne among the really great men of the twentieth century. The eminent cardinal voiced the thoughts of those who have been the real beneficiaries of the short but active reign of Plus. Gluseppe Sarto was essentially a pope of internal activities. Ninety per cent of his voluminous utterances were addressed to the peoples in all lands who profess the Catholic religion. Many of his predecessors in the Roman see were men of a variety of talents, whereas he had but one—the talent for rooting up and exposing and building up as fast as he revealed the sore spots within his field. It is because Plus was an internal operator that the world as reflected in newspapers, magazines and books has failed, his admirers say, to understand him to have been anything more than a good and kindly old man whom everybody must love. Nobody will ever accuse Gluseppe Sarto of having been able to make "a deal" with monarchs, and he never renewed with any visible aggressiveness the claim of temporal power in the sense that he wished to be known as the pope-king. He began a reformer and died reforming. One of his first utterances was a condemnation of the privileges of certain rulers of Europe by which they could let it be known that they were against this cardinal and for that one. He annuled their veto privilege. Then he began a series of investigations, always of the church and the people in it—never of any others. He never worried about personalities where his reforms were concerned. He hit hard, then looked at the place he had hit. GIRL'S RECORD WHEAT YIELD. Thirteen-year-old Kansas Maid Has Grain Averaging Forty-seven Bushels. Wichita, Kan.-Cora Patterson, thirteen years old, of Caldwell, is the proudest girl in her neighborhood. Last fall she asked her father for a small plot of his farm near town on which she could experiment with wheat raising. Mr. Patterson allotted his daughter four acres. She plowed the ground, harrowed it and sowed the grain. She cared for it and watched it with an eager eye. The wheat was recently thrashed. It averaged forty-seven bushels to the acre, the best yield in this part of Kansas. In only the cutting and thrashing did Miss Patterson take no part. Chicken Has Two Heads. Standish, Mich.-Harvey Beach of Klacking township, Ogemaw county, has a freak chicken. It has two heads and three eyes, all in good working order. How the two heads would agree as to the one who should get the worm when it finds one has not been stated. The National Religious Training School, Durham, N.C.

WEST WASHINGTON Death of Charles W. Thompson. The funeral of Mr. Charles W. Thompson, whose sudden death occurred on Thursday, August 20, 1914, at his residence, 418 Eighth Street Southwest, took place Saturday afternoon from the church, and was largely attended. Mrs. Eliza Lyles an old and much respected citizen died on Thursday, and the funeral services over her remains were held on Sunday afternoon from Mt. Zion M. E. Church, Twenty-ninth Street. Mrs. Lyles was one of the oldest members of the church, and was a member of the Immediate Aid, Eastern Star, No. 6, who attended in a body, Mrs. E. A. Simns president. The resolutions were read by Miss R. Norton. There were many floral offerings. Rev. W. C. Thompson officiated, assisted by Rev. Geo. Jaeobs. Interment Mt. Zion Cemetery. The Thirty-eighth anniversary of Mt. Bethel Baptist Association convened at Jerusalem Baptist Church, P Street Northwest. The sessions were held August 25, 26, and 27, and were largely attended, more than one hundred being in attendance during the session, compo-ing the States of Virginia, Maryland, and the District of Columbia. Rev. J. Watkins, of Baltimore, moderator, and R. B. Page, of Virginia, secretary. The reports of the several committees of the body were very encouraging. A part of the meeting was held at Early Rose Park on Twenty-seventh Street, Rev. Geo. W. Harris and his members made it very pleasant and agreeable for those attending the convention, which adjourned Thursday night. Mrs. Mary L. Benn and Mr. Daniel Thompson, two of the well known teachers in public school, were married last week in Pennsylvania, and are now happily living at their home, 2534 P Street Northwest. Miss Daisy M. Smith and Mr. A. Bowman were united in matrimony on last Sunday evening. For several weeks there have appeared in the West Washington notes of the Washington Bee some statements concerning Mt. Zion M. E. Church that were both misleading and untrue. In almost every reference made to the election and change of officials by the Mt. Zion Quarterly Conferences has been absolutely false and would, to an open and well informed mind, appear to be wickedly designed. The reporter or writer for The Bee seems to know just enough about the body of the church life to attempt to give her an ugly face. The purpose of The Bee is to do good, not harm. On the contrary it may be said that the church affairs at Mt. Zion are in a healthy and prosperous condition. The people love and respect their pastor, Rev. W. C. Thompson, who is known in his conference to be a safe and wise administrator. CONVENTION OF ST. LUKES. Large Number of Delegates Present. Richmond, Va., Aug. 21. The forty-seventh annual convention of the R. W. G. Council, I. O. of St. Luke, closed last week after a three days, harmonious and interesting session. The following States submitted reports: Connecticut, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Massachusetts, Maryland, New York, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, West Virginia, Delaware, Indiana, Illinois, Rhode Island and Virginia. During the past year 6,226 new and registered members were added to the order. The total receipts for the year amounted to $104,457. The sum of $44,731 was paid on account of death benefits. It was reported that there were no complaints against the organization, and that it had enjoyed its share of prosperity, during the past year. It has met all of its obligations faithfully, and lived up to its principle. In the report of Mrs. Maggie L. Walker, R. G. Grand Secretary and Treasurer, she said: "Representatives, we must build this work we represent: we must teach our members that a fraternal society goes further in the care of its members than does the insurance company in providing for its policy holders. The fraternal society meets its financial obligations, according to its laws and in addition it conserves and strengthens those fraternal ties whose value cannot be estimated by dollars and cents. It lends a helping hand when adversity comes, and it cheers and strengthens the discouraged by words of comfort and helpfulness. Fraternalism is a living, breathing and vitalizing force, and those who live up to the teachings of our order are better and nobler by reason thereof." The District of Columbia was well represented by delegates from nearly House & Herrmann 7th and Eye Sts., N. W of all kinds and description, House and Herrmann is the place to visit.

Pastor C. T. Russell, widely known through his PHOTO-DRAMA OF CREATION, which is being seen by thousands everywhere—widely known, also, by his sermons in hundreds of newspapers, by his books and by his weekly Bible Studies, preached today from the text: "He that bath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the Lord; and that which he bath given will He pay him again." —Proverbs 19:17. The fact that I have been preaching for thirty-eight years and yet have never taken up a collection nor made any appeal for money in connection with my work may have led some to the erroneous conclusion that I am opposed to charities, said the Pastor. Nothing could be further from the truth. During those thirty-eight years many thousands of dollars have passed through my hands—voluntary gifts from grateful souls, for the spread of the Good Tidings of great joy which shall yet be unto all people. Moreover, it is my conviction that no one could be an acceptable Christian unless he possessed the spirit of charity, benevolence, unless he really loved to give for good purposes—for the glory of God, for the benefit of his fellows. The Pastor declared that from his viewpoint missionary enterprises might properly be considered charities—but not so Church enterprises. The Church, he claimed, is not a missionary society for the world's benefit, but an arrangement for the benefit of the Church members. Hence each member of this brotherhood should consider himself in duty bound to co-operate to the extent of his ability in providing the necessary expenses connected with the meeting-place—light, janitorage, etc—the blessings and comforts of which he enjoys. Yet even in this there should be nothing akin to coercion or demand. If the sum-total were found insufficient, more humble quarters at less expense should be engaged as soon as possible. It is wrong, said the Pastor, for a congregation to aspire to a fine, expensive auditorium and general establishment beyond their own means. It is wrong for them to go outside and solicit money from the world, the flesh and the Devil, in the name of God! Surely, God never authorized such a proceeding; for just as surely as it would be offensive to any right-minded person to have solicitation for money made in his name, so it must be to the Almighty to have begging done in His name without His authority. The Bible distinctly tells that God is very rich. No rich man would approve of begging done in his name, especially from the poor. And for us to promise God's special blessing and favor in return for filthy lucre is an outrage against Divine Justice, Wisdom, Love and Power. The Lord's own Word is that all the gold and silver are His. But, we are told, if solicitations, collections, pew rents, fairs, festivals, etc., were abandoned, all the churches would be closed, except such as are beneficially endowed. If this were the case, we believe that, nevertheless, the Church would gain respect and influence with the world which would more than compensate. If one-half the churches disorganized, the other half, rightly supported in accordance with the Divine precepts and the example of Jesus and His Apostles, would accomplish more good than would twice the number under present conditions, in which they have considerable of the world's scorn. That scorn directly and indirectly reflects against the Divine Character and the Divine Word. In illustration of this conviction the Pastor cited the fact that the Divine blessing has been with his work. He admitted that the money passing through his hands is really as nothing compared with the large sum spent annually by the various Christian denominations. He admitted that the International Bible Students Association owns no valuable real estate and cannot boast of large bank accounts. They have followed the plan of using actively and economically in God's service whatever money has voluntarily come to them—not seeking to build temples made with hands, but to prepare the living stones for the glorious Temple of Christ beyond the veil. Under this arrangement, they never spend more than what is in hand. God has blessed the work, and the unsolicited donations increase year by year. The activities incidental to the use of these funds extend now to all parts of the earth, preaching the Message of God's Love and helping to open eyes of understanding long blinded by creeds, philosophies, "so called," and misunderstandings of the Word of God. Generosity Is Godlikeness. Generosity is Godlikeness. In declaring generosity to be Godlikeness, the Pastor wished his hearers not to misunderstand him to mean that gifts of money could purchase Divine favor and relationship. He trusted that his views, following closely the Scripture lines on this subject, are widely known; namely, that there is only one way into the Father's favor and into His family—the way of reouncement of sin and turning to righteousness, of acceptance of Christ's redemptive work and of full consecration through Him to do the Father's will, even unto death. Only such spirit-begotten ones are acknowledged in the Bible as children of God. All others are Scripturally described to be "allens, strangers and foreigners" from God and His promises. But the speaker wished all to discern that there are noble-minded souls who have not entered this "narrow gate" and who are not, therefore, children of God, but who, nevertheless, by nature possess traits of Godlikeness, notwithstanding their share in the fall. Benevolence, generosity, charity in its true sense, wherever found is a trace of the Godlikeness in which our first parents were created. Noble-minded people of the world in practising charity are instituting one of the highest qualities of the Divine character, and forthwith they experience a blessing whenever they exercise their charitable instincts. As for Christians, we find, as the Apostle declares, that they are naturally a varied assortment; for they possess, some more and some less, of the Godlike qualities, and some more and some less, of the deprived traits. But following their begetting of the Holy Spirit, these become more and more generous, benevolent, charitable. Under the instruction and discipline of the School of Christ, the Spirit of Love, the Spirit of God, the Holy Spirit, is more and more shed abroad in their hearts. For them the great lesson of life is this lesson of love, charity, sympathy for the Truth, for one another and for the world. Blessed In Their Giving. God is the great Gliver, of whom the Apostle says, "Every good and perfect gift cometh down from the Father of Lights." The Lord Jesus Christ exemplified to mankind God's great Love, and showed that He Himself possessed the same Spirit, the same loving, generous, kind nature—so much so that He laid down His life on behalf of our sinner-race. It is required of the Church that each one shall be imbued with this same loving disposition as their Savior had; for "if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of His." That love not only left the Heavenly glory and riches on behalf of the sinner, but additionally endured the Cross and its shame. The Apostle John urges all Christ's followers that, cultivating the Master's noble, generous, loving Spirit, they ought also to lay down their lives for the brethren. They ought also to be ready to count all things but loss and dress, gladly to be renounced in the interest of the Lord's Cause. With every sacrilege, these receive more than compensation of Divine favor, besides the Master's promise of eternal life on the Heavenly plane—Mark 10:30. And now let us think of the world—especially of those noble, generous souls who, possessing something of the original Godlikeness, take pleasure, not in cheating their fellow men, not in doing everything injurious to the interests of others, but frequently in contributing to the relief of suffering, to the maintenance and education of orphans, the protection and comfort of widows, as well as to hospitals, infirmaries, etc. Is there any provision of blessing for these? These noble-minded, charitable people are being blessed by their generous course; for there is a Law of Retribution continually in operation. The principle, "It is more blessed to give than to receive," applies to them as well as to the Church. As these noble souls daily become more loving, more generous, they are developing characters which in the future will be helpful to them. If they do not come into vital relationship with God through Christ at the present time, if they have not the hearing ear and the responsive heart now, nevertheless the time is coming when they will share in the world's blessing. It will be a great blessing, even though far inferior to that of the Church, as human restitution is inferior to spirit perfection through the First Resurrection. When Messiah's Kingdom shall have been inaugurated and the whole world shall enter upon its trial for life or death everlasting, noble souls that have exercised benevolence, Godlikeness, will be in advance of others who, even with similar noble heritage, have failed to use, exercise, develop, this quality of benevolence, or charity. In other words, liberal souls not only experience a blessing in the present time, but thereby prepare themselves for greater blessings by and by. Wise and Unwise Charities. Since the blessing of charity comes to the individual as a result of the exercise of that quality, it follows that the giver gets a blessing whether the gift is wisely bestowed or not, and whether the receiver is profited or not. Hence, even though we may subsequently know that some of our gifts were unwisely or unworthily bestowed, we need not mourn, but rather realize that according to the Divine arrangement we have had a blessing, nevertheless. However, no one will dispute that the spirit of a sound mind should be used in connection with our charities, as well as in all our other affairs. Very frequently many of the pro- visions for the poor in our day are no longer rated as private charities, but as public, and even sometimes as merely justice. For instance, provisions for the blind, for the infirm, asylums for the mentally weak and hospitals for the slick, are now considered to be a duty of the community and are provided for by general taxation. Thus benevolence is asserting itself, and combining and dividing its honors with justice. That which previously would have been left to a few of generous disposition is now provided for by the whole community—generous and selfish. Who can question that this is an advanced step; and, if so, that all should co-labor along those lines and cease to encourage mendicancy, the solicitation of alms, the appeal to sympathy through the eye? If our social arrangement has provided for such cases, it should be considered a misdemeanor to ignore such provision. If our public charities, hospitals, city Homes, etc., be not upon such a scale as have the approval of generous, reasonable minds, then the entire system calls for reorganization, that it may be made right, proper, suitable for the use of any having need thereof. The community should be ashamed to provide for others what they would not be willing to accept for themselves under the same circumstances. The Pastor expressed a hope that these reasonable sentiments might through the public press be brought effectively to the attention of Poor Boards, Charity Committees, etc. God Loves Cheerful Givers. God Loves Cheerful Givers. God's gifts are given cheerfully. The Bible tells us that He appreciates a cheerful giver—one who enters into the spirit of his gift, who accompanies the coin with a cheerful word, a kind look, helpful advice, or what not. If these cheerful givers belong to God's Family, the Father will love them and manifest His love for them. Their cultivation of His Spirit will bring them into closer relationship with the Almighty. How generously shall we give? some may ask. The answer is: God has given us our minds, our judgments, wherewith to decide all questions. The need of the needy, the amount of our surplus, the claims of others upon that surplus—all these things should, properly enough, enter into our calculations and help us to decide how much should properly be given to charity. In order to get a great blessing out of our charities, we should give until we feel it. The person who gives one coin out of a thousand—which he would never miss—is not likely to get therefrom a great blessing. He must continue in the exercise of this Godlike disposition until his gifts shall necessitate his restraining of his own luxuries or, perhaps, his own comforts. Then he begins to be really charitable and to really appreciate some of the joys which the Lord designs shall be granted to generous souls. Giving Related to Forgiving. Every advance in true charity has a bearing upon the character. Whoever is generous with his fellows will find it more and more easy to be forgiving toward those who do him injury Charity, love, benevolence, affects the entire being. It tends to make its possessor more kind and gentle in word, action and judgment. It develops his sympathy. All this is a development of Godliness. The Apostles point this out in order, associating meekness, gentleness, faithfulness, long-suffering, brotherly-kindness, charity—all elements of the one great quality of Love. The Father's Holy Spirit of Love is also the Spirit of His Son, our Redeemer; and all who will be accepted as members of the Bride, the Lamb's Wife, we are assured, must be copies of God's dear Son. They must all have this kind, generous, charitable quality. We are not meaning to say that such a quality would be acceptable to God without Christ, our Redeemer; for the Bible clearly sets forth that no man cometh to the Father but by Him. (John 14:61). But the Son's method of preparing us for the eternal glory, after we have become His disciples, is by instructing us along the lines of the development of this Divine Character-likeness. If Christians could realize this more fully, how kind and charitable they would be! The Lord would have His people wholehearted in their sympathes—broad, deep, generous. To give either money, forgiveness, sympathy or any other good thing grudgingly, half-heartedly, is to spoil the matter. True, many of the Lord's people are by nature very narrow, mean, spiteful, contrary, to what the Lord would approve. But He is willing to overlook all the natural defects if He sees the right heart-condition—sees that we are endeavoring to the extent of our ability to overcome our natural weaknesses and to put on Christ. With us the first lesson is to learn to look into the mirror of the Lord's Word and there to note our natural meanness and contrariness to God's Character-likeness. As we thus behold in God's Word the true standard of character, contrast with it our own and seek to copy the Lord, we shall, as the Apostle declares, be changed from glory to glory. Step by step the transforming work will proceed. We shall never be able to bring our bodies to that perfection of word, act and look which we desire: for our desires are perfect, copied from the grand Example of our Heavenly Father and our Heavenly Lord, while our bodies are imperfect through the fall. We are encouraged, however, by the Scriptural assurance that God will look on the heart, and note our efforts to conform to the Heavenly Pattern. We shall be judged, not according to the flesh, but according to the intention. Thus alone can we have the righteousness of the Law fulfilled in us—while walking, not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. BROOKLYN TABERNACLE BIBLE STUDY ON THE GREAT COMMANDMENTS. Mark 12:28-44—Sept. 6. "Thou shall love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbor as itself."—Luke 12:27. N the question day when the Doctors of Divinity sought to entrap our Lord many ques- tions were used. A week ago we considered one. The final question constitutes today's Study. A Scribe, a man of more than average education, had heard the various questions propounded and had perceived how well our Lord had answered them. Then he assayed a question—quite probably with all sincerity, and not with a view to entrap Jesus. He asked, "Which is the chief commandment of all?"—doubtless referring to the Decalogue. Jesus replied that the first, the chief, of the commandments is the Ilium. Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord; and thou shalt love Jehovah thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength; this is the chief commandment." A Our Lord here made a quotation from the Old Tes- made a quotation Scribes Questioning from the Old Testament. (Deuteronomy 6:4, 5.) How wonderfully comprehensive the statement! Who today, centuries afterward, could more completely epitomize the great truth of this text? Heavenly Wisdom is manifested both in its first statement and in our Lord's reference to it. He added nothing because nothing could be added. In times gone by, we were told that the Almighty God of the Universe had a great hell of torture prepared from before man's creation, in which He purposed that the great majority of humanity should be eternally tormented. But that was in the creeds. The Bible stands out distinctly separate from all human creeds and superstitions, and tells us that God is Love, that He is the Father of Light and Mercy, from whom cometh every good and perfect gift.—James 1:17. The Second Commandment Proceeding beyond the question, Jesus declared that the second commandment stands related to the first; namely, "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself." Again we stand astonished. No other religion than that of the Bible reveals such a God of mercy and compassion, as manifested by His loving provision for the welfare of His creatures. No other religion suggests so high a standard of dealing with our fellow men. This Law of God, now nearly four thousand years old, was probably made more or less known through the Jews to other nations and peoples (Deuteronomy 4:26-31, but none of them grasped its true import. The closest approach to this sentiment is probably found in the writings of Confucius, to the effect that one should not do to others what he would not have others do to him. But oh, what a contrast! One is merely a negative statement; the other is positive—"Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself." The Scribe was impressed, and conceded the truth of Jesus' reply. The Master said to him, "Thou art not far from the Kingdom of God." By this Jesus meant that the Scribe was very near to the point where he might become a disciple—one of those waiting for the Kingdom. It was such "Israelites indeed," in whom was no gullie, that Jesus especially sought to gather from amongst the Jewish people, preparatory to throwing open to the Gentiles the door of Kingdom privileges. The Jews understood that at Messiah's coming He would select a Kingdom class, to which would be granted Divine power. This was just what Jesus was doing. His words, His teachings, were drawing some and repelling others. "God Looketh on the Heart." The Temple at Jerusalem was still new, and money was needed for its maintenance, etc. The people were privileged to contribute, and apparently did so with willing hearts, casting their contributions into the treasure boxes of the Temple, which stood near its doorway. Jesus was sitting opposite these boxes, and noted how all classes contributed. A There came along a poor widow, who put into the box two mites—each The Widow's Mite. two mites—each worth about one-eighth of a cent. Probably by Divine power Jesus knew of her circumstances and her gift. He made it a text for a little sermon to the Apostles. He declared that she had made a larger contribution in God's sight than had any one else; for practically she had cast in all she had, while others had merely contributed out of their abundance what they would perhaps not seriously miss. This little incident shows the Lord's appreciation of sacrifice. It is not the great things that we do, or attempt to do, that He highly esteems. The very small sacrifices and self-denials, that in the world's sight would be nothing, in the Master's sight would be great if they denote love, devotion and self-sacrifice to the Lord and His Cause. It is of just such self-sacrificing material that the Lord makes disciples—the class that do what they can Steamer Angler Open for Charter for RIVER VIEW The Excursion Boat Angler may now be chartered for excursions.

August 20, in his eighteenth year. He had been Pope since August, 1903. The body was embalmed prior to its removal to the chapel for the ceremony of absolution.
