Washington Bee

IF ITS NEWS, ITS 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. 23 WASHINGTON, I. D. C., SATURDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1914 NATIONAL BENEFIT GREATEST NEGRO INSURANCE SOCIETY IN AMERICA ANOTHER JEWEL ADDED Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, Great Exponent of the Race Problems, Edified a Christian Audience—Banner of Achievement—Agents Are Educated—Aim, of the Company. Chester, Pa.—The National Benefit Association, Inc., of Washington, D. C., has added another jewel to its crown. The third paid-for modern office building of this colored insurance company was formally dedicated here October 20, and the event created a profound interest among the white and colored population of this city. Nearly a thousand visitors, white and black, inspected this beautiful $6,000 property, which stands as a beacon light to the men and women of color in this section. The Morning Republican, the leading white daily newspaper of the city, pays this tribute to the principal speaker of the mass meeting which on Tuesday night featured the first of the two days' dedication and business conference: "Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, president of the National Training School for Women and Girls of Washington, D. C., proved to be one of the greatest exponents of the race problem that ever has been heard in Chester. Her address kept the large audience thrilled by her passionate appeal to her race to live up to high ideals. She showed the great possibilities of the Negro in the struggle of life. All day the handsome new office building was crowded with interested persons, who inspected the spacious and well-furnished quarters. The building is a credit to the association and the Negro race." Banner of Achievement. This corporation is regarded as the Gibraltar of the Negro life insurance companies. It has grown from tenant of a $5 per month office room in 1996 to landlord of fully-paid-for improved real estate in Washington, Philadelphia and Chester, valued at $35,000; owner of gilt-edged railroad and municipal bonds worth $129,000, over $50,000 of which is deposited for the protection of all policy-holders; depositor with a present cash bank New Branch Office Building, Nationa ae Benefit Association, at 1819 W. 3d St. Chester, Pa. balance of $8,000; possessor of a business worth $65,000, embracing a growing plant of 75 clerks, 700 agents and 200,000 policy-holders in six states. Sixteen years ago the business was born. To-day, its resources exceed a quarter of a million. Agents Are Educated One of the unique features of the Joint Agents' Conference was the training course for the field representatives of the National Benefit Association. Two days of special drill were conducted personally by S. W. Rutherford, general manager, and others of the head of the business. Perhaps no business institution of the race gives an equal degree of training to as large a force of employees as the National gives. Its value as an educative factor is shown by the increasing efficiency of the field forces; for never before in the history of the enterprise has the business advanced by such leaps and bounds as during the first nine months of 1934. Company Aims Higher Company Anis Tigheri 'Practical appreciation of the officials' work was demonstrated when the Chester mass meeting's audience bought and paid for $241 worth of stock for a $100,000 legal reserve insurance company. It is the aim of the promoters of this syndicate to dispose of all its stock and merge with the National Benefit Association by November 25, 1915, on the association's seventeenth anniversary. Walter W. Scott, of Philadelphia, will tour the country giving free illustrated lectures showing the tremendous opportunities for employment and investment in the proposed National Benefit Life Insurance Company. For engagements write at once to the Home Office, care of the "Thrift Lecture Bureau," 609 F Street Northwest, Washington, D. C. Program of Tuesday's mass meeting was noteworthy. Hon. George H. White, ex-Congressman from North Carolina, acted as master of ceremonies. A valuable paper was read by Mrs. R. J. Bennett of Chester. Music by the choir of Murphy A. M. E. Church and the Girls' Culture Club of Chester was enjoyed. Rev. W. S. Drummond is the excellent pastor of the Murphy A. M. E. Church, where both business convention and mass meeting were held. Wm. J. Robinson, contractor, and C. Henry Wilson, H, architect, both colored; and from Philadelphia, were the company's sole employees in the entire building operations. CAUCASIAN POLICEMAN Contributes to Delinquency of Race Girl—Arrested, Admits Being the Father of Child—Startling Case. (From the New Age, Cal.) Arrest of Frederick August Winter, police officer, for contributing to the delinquency of Juanita Nelson, makes public one of the most startling cases of revolting features in the history of the city. Juanita Nelson is an orphan Race-girl barely 18 years old. She is the mother of a child over a year old, the acknowledged father of which is Winters, a Caucasian of 32 years of age, an ex-fireman of the city department and member of the L. A. Police Force when arrested by Deputy Sheriffs Gillis and McKay. Detective Stevens was immediately detailed by Chief Sebastian to investigate the case and the facts unearthed are astounding. Winter, while a fireman, saw the girl upon a street car in 1912 and began flirting with her, obtaining her address. They continued to the end of the line, and many other rides and meetings occurred at a Los Angeles Street lodging house, although Juanita Nelson was then, to his knowledge, a ward of the Juvenile Court. Their liaison continued until the girl was expecting to become a mother as a result of their illicit relations. Winter urged a criminal operation, but she refused, fearing the result, and finally was taken to the hospital where the child was born September 21, 1913. Winter had never given his victim either his real name or address and although she described him and a warrant was sworn out for his arrest, he was never found. Ebon-bued Juanita Nelson, child mother of an almost white baby, was given a home with an elderly Mrs. Anderson, at 1455 E Twenty-third Street. Last Saturday at Seventh and Main they met—Juanita Nelson and Frederick Winter, the white father of her illegitimate child. He was glad to see her, stood and talked, asked for and wrote in his note-book her address and phone number. She told him of the child and asked what he would do for its support. They parted, she returning home with his promise to telephone her at 2 P. M. Arrived home. Juanita told Mrs. Anderson she had seen the child's father. Soon the phone rang; he was on the wire. "Are you alone," he asked. The old woman prompted her to answer "yes." Then he would come out and in a few minutes Winters was there. He greeted the girl affectionately, played with the baby and gave it two dollars. His former lust returned; he made improper proposals. Mrs. Anderson had meanwhile phoned the sheriff's office and two deputies motored to the address. One entered the front, the other the rear door, catching Winter as he tried to escape. They obtained shocking evidence of his parlor-attempts. At first Winter claimed he had never seen Juanita Nelson, until she called him in as he was passing; he gave a fictitious name. Then, winking at the officers, claimed he was there on police duty as they were. At police headquarters he made a confession, admitting the facts as alleged by the girl: Since then he has made a clean breast of the whole matter and offers to support the mother and child by a monthly payment of $15. He wished to marry Juanita Nelson but is prevented by the State law. Magnus L. Robinson. Magnus L. Robinson leaves today (Hallowe'en) for New Jersey to take charge of the branch office of the National Co-operative Association of America, whose principal office is located in this city at 607 Louisiana Avenue Northwest. Its object is to promote and advance the cause of industrial education, morality, cleanliness on all lines, and aid in directing the forces of the Negro in all their multifarious relations with the dominant race in such a way as to help in solving the so-called problem and bring about mutual esteem and harmony between the races. Magnus L. Robinson is a veteran newspaper man and will be located at 60 Montgomery Street, Jersey City, N. J. American Theater. The American Theater presented a fine bill last week. Kelly and Davis are two entertaining comedians. They are full of fun. Mosegale and Crosby and Hodges and Head are jolly funmakers. Her Worth and Ability Commended. Editor of The Rec. How lavish people are with fault finding and how stingy with their praise. We are much impressed with this truth at this present time. Merit begets efficiency and of no one can this be said with more force and more truthfully than of Miss E. F. G. Merritt. No woman of the race represents more sterling character and higher, social efficiency than does this much esteemed lady. Miss Merritt is untiring in her efforts to better the conditions among her people. As a worker in this community she is highly appreciated. It is frequently said of her, "She does things," and she does. The Teachers' Benefit and Annuity Association, of which Miss Merritt is president, was organized by her and is now a strong and efficient organization in the school system. The Prudence Crandall Association had its origin in her brain, and this organization has done much to increase the attendance in the schools and keeping the needy children in school. She has been chairman of the Building Fund Committee of the Y. W. C. Association since the organization, and together with her committee has collected much money for the Christian Home, which is doing so much good in this city. She is a member of the Social Settlement Board and puts in time and energy into this great work. This marginal work has not detracted anything from her work as an educator. Miss Merritt is known throughout the country for her invaluable work of lifting the standard of teaching. She has the endorsement of a large number of well known educators of the country, having had intimate relations in her work among teachers in many states of the Union. Miss Sarah Louise Arnold, the great authority on primary methods and work generally, speaks very highly of Miss Merritt's work. Prof. Hugh M. Browne, one of the greatest students of educational problems, considers Miss Merritt an expert in her work. Profs. Leslie P. Hill, of Cheyney Training School for Teachers, Decatur of Manassas, Paul M. Pearson, of Swathmore, E. Carroll, superintendent of the Delaware Schools, L. S. Conwell, of Dover State Normal School, and many prominent educators place Miss Merritt in the foremost ranks of educators among her race. Prof. Roscoe Conkling Bruce, the assistant superintendent of the Washington Schools, says of Miss Merritt, in speaking of a testimonial given her by her teachers recently: "The testimonial is a sign and symbol of the professional esteem and personal affection in which your teachers hold you; it also reminds us all of the high order of achievement which you have brought about in your department. Nowhere in the United States have we another specialist in primary teaching and management at all comparable in downright efficiency to our own Miss Merritt." On another occasion, this same educator says: "It is a privilege, whether in public or in private, for me to bear testimony to the vigor, the independence, the originality which have helped to give your service significance." Miss Merritt has risen from the lowest ranks to the head of the primary department through her own merit and most praiseworthy efforts. She scorns reward without labor and advocates "Reward for work done." The fittest, in her judgment, should survive, and upon this law she builds. Miss Merritt's career as teacher and director has been a source of inspiration and help to the entire teaching body. Not only does she devote her time to the teachers directly under her, but to any teacher needing her able counsel and help. Her kindly help is appreciated by the teachers throughout the system. Her vigor is the cause of comment among the teachers who say Miss Merritt is never too tired or sick to help the teacher in need. This willingness on her part to receive and help those who seek her sound counsel, gives her little time for social activities. By personal hand to hand touch with the teachers has raised the standard in her department very high. No one in the schools commands a more genuine respect and love of teachers, parents and citizens so generally as does Miss Merritt. Let roses be scattered while the weary toiler can appreciate their fragrance. JUSTICE. THE FORUM At Mt. Olivet Baptist Church Sunday, October 25th—The Negro Press and Its Mission by W. Calvin Chase—A Big Crowd Present. The Forum at Mt. Olivet Baptist Church, Sixth Street between L and M Streets Northwest, Rev. M. S. Caver, pastor, was crowded to the door last Sunday evening. The speaker of the evening was W. Calvin Chase, whose subject was the Negro Press and its Mission. Before the speaker of the evening was introduced Mrs. Caver, the president, presented the following pro- Gram: Duet, Miss Ruth Cox and E. C. Green; recitation, Master S. Cunningham; recitation, Miss Mattie Crawford; solo, E. C. Green; recitation, Miss Louise Crawford; recitation, Mrs. M. E. Caver, who is a most polished elocutionist. At the conclusion of this program Rev. Dr. Caver introduced Mr. Chase in most complimentary terms as a man after his own heart. He paid The Bee a most deserving compliment as a true defender of the people. Mr. Chase gave a brief history of the first newspaper ever published down to the present time. He paid a high compliment to the colored press—not the apologetic colored press, but the editors who dare to advocate principles. The pulpit and the press, said he, were great factors, and when you compare some Negro Ministers with some editors you will find no difference between them. He discussed the mission of the Negro press and its relation to the people. Much discussion, said he, has been induced in as to a clean press or a clean newspaper. This is generally the doctrine of those who have failed elsewhere or those who generally drop in to a town or a city where they are not so well known. To edit a clean paper in the sense that I would regard a clean paper, remarked the speaker, is for the editor himself to be clean. Such sham doctrine is a travesty on morality and a mackery to the intelligence of the readers of newspapers. Whenever you read the editorial how of a new paper that the editor means to run a clean paper, just conclude that that editor is to be looked upon with suspicion. The life and biography of the poet biryan is a fair example and a good comparison. Mr. Chase discussed the colorful press in all of its phases and its mission and relation to the people, regardless of condition. He was followed by Dr. Geo H. Richardson, who is always interesting and logical. GET-TOGETHER BANQUET. A Brilliant Gathering at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church—Georgeously Decorated Table—Two Hundred Sit Down. The second annual get-together of the Metropolitan A. M. E. Sunday School, given at the church in M Street, between Fifteenth and Sixteenth Streets Northwest, Friday night, October 23, was a most brilliant affair. It was sumptuous because the entire auditorium was covered by tables, the main table in the shape of a Roman cross, the smaller tables in the shape of L's, every available bit of space utilized, and fully 200 sat at the festal board. Magnificent, because the committee had spared no pains. The room was beautifully decorated with the National colors, red, white and blue; the tables were daintily spread with white linen, and artistically decorated with beautiful stands of flowers, dishes of china were provided for each guest. Harmonious and appropriate, because it was really a get-together assemblage designed to create more interest and enthusiasm in Sunday School work. Shortly after 9 o'clock the superintendent, Mr. E. W. Harrison, called the feasters to order and Rev. C. H. Stepteau invoked the divine blessing. Cards had been placed at each plate, double folders with printed words of the songs to be used during the evening. These folders were printed by the boys of O Street Vocational School under the direction of Mr. W. C. Chase, Jr. Everybody joined in the opening song and then the superintendent in a characteristic speech introduced the Rev. Dr. Stepteau, the master of ceremonies of the evening, who made a speech that was enjoyed by all. Other speakers of the evening included Dr. W. S. Montgomery, representative from Shiloh and Zion Baptist Churches; Mr. M. J. Key, teacher of Young Men's New Movement Bible Class; Rev. A. Thomas, of New Jersey; Mr. W. W. Anderson, of Howard University; Prof. J. W. Cromwell; Mr. A. Patten, ex-assistant superintendent, and Mrs. C. Smith, director of the Junior Choir; Mrs. A. E. Waddleton recited a poem bearing upon our departed ones. The keynpt of all the addresses was the get-together spirit. Great enthusiasm was manifested. Cheers were given for the pastor, superintendent, primary superintendent, Dr. W. S. Montgomery, second Bible Classes, and chairman of the Banquet Committee. A tempting repast was served by the committee, and when the program was ended the guests were lothe to leave. Mr. Lemos rendered a delightful piano solo and Miss Alberta Williams sang a beautiful vocal solo. Mr. Yates accompanying. Much credit for the success of the banquet is due Mrs. Estelle Parker, chairman of the Banquet Committee, assisted by her co-workers. Miss A. J. Brown, Mrs. E. W. Harrison, Mrs. A. V. Thornton, Misses C. E. and K. Martin, Mrs. F. Simms, Mrs. A. E. Waddleton and Miss A. S. Payne. They labored earnestly and untiringly until their efforts were crowned with success. The banquet seems to be a fixture. We are looking forward to 1915 with eager anticipation. Howard Theater The Whitman Sisters filled every space in the Howard last week. MARRIAGE LICENSES.

Last week Washington thought it had the greatest treat for years in Rev. R. W. Bagnall, of Detroit, Michigan. He held his audience spell bound. He was pronounced the greatest orator by some, since Douglass. We had not gotten through discussing last week's great meeting when the president gave us another great treat. Lawyer William Harrison, of national fame, from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. He came to the Literary fresh from the U. S. Supreme Court, where he argued the "Jim Crow case" of Oklahoma. The first half hour he talked on co-operative effort and sat down. It was a masterly address. He was scarcely down when the president, Miss M. A. D. Madre, stepped to the front and said: Friends, I announced that Lawyer Harrison would speak on the case which he came here to argue. He will not disappoint you. Like a knight, he rose to his feet, said he did not think they wanted that. They answered by applause, and for nearly a half hour more he held his audience spell bound. Among those who spoke after the address were Prof. G. C. Wilkinson, Dr. Geo. W. Cabaniss, Dean Geo. W. Cook, Attorney Sylvester McLairn, Judge Robert H. Terrell, Dr. C. W. Chilis, Rev. M. F. Sydes, Dr. C. H. Stepleau, S. W. Rutherford, and Rev. Jernigan, Mr. James H. Marshall, of Buffalo, N. Y., sang a solo. He has a rich tenor voice which delighted the audience. Nearly seventy-five employees of the National Benefit Association, under the directorship of Mr. E. W. Broadnax, rendered two choruses. Mr. William Braxton presided at the Organ. Rev. Jerigan made a great speech in defense of Negro lawyers. He was loudly aplauded. Miss Madre, the newly elected president of Bethel Literary, opened last Tuesday night and received an ovation.

FRENCH TELLS OF BATTLE ON AISNE Flanking Movement Was General Joffre's Idea—Heavier Guns Prove More Effective—How British Troops Put Up Pontoon Bridge While Germans Were Pouring Shells In Their Midst. London.—In two long reports Field Marshal Sir John French, commander in chief of the British forces on the continent, recounts with detail the fighting during the allies' retreat from Mons southward to the Seine and their advance after they had turned the German force of General von Kluck back from the gates of Paris. Chief interest is in the second report, which deals with the battle of the Alsne, which began on Sept. 12. It says: "Early in the morning of the 11th (September) three corps crossed the Oureq, further pursuit of the enemy being practically unopposed—the cavalry reaching the line of the Alsone, two brigades south of Solssons and three brigades at Couvrelles and Cercueil on the afternoon of Sept. 12. "From the opposition encountered by the Sixth French army to the west of Solssons and two of our army corps south of Missy, and certain other indications along the line, I formed the opinion that the enemy had for the moment at any rate arrested his retreat and was preparing to contest the passage of the Alsone with some vigor south of Solssons, where the Germans were holding Mont de Paris against attack. "With the assistance of artillery the Third corps of the French drove them back across the river at Solssone [Image of a military officer in uniform]. where they destroyed the bridges Heavy artillery fire showed that the Sixth French army was meeting with heavy opposition all along the line. "The Alsue is a sluggish stream, 170 feet wide and 15 feet deep in the center and is unfordable. Between Solssons on the west and Villers on the east, the part of the river at attacked and secured by the British forces, are eleven road bridges. "The position of the enemy was very strong either for delaying action or for a defensive battle. "On that morning I ordered the British forces to advance and make good the Alsue. The First corps and cavalry advanced on the river The First division was directed on Chanouille, via the canal bridge at stourg. On the right the cavalry and First division met with little opposition and found passage by means of the canal aqueduct which crosses the river. "On the left the leading troops of the Second division reached the river by 9 o'clock. The Fifth infantry brigade only was able to cross the river in single file, under considerable shell fire, by means of a broken girder of a bridge which was not entirely submerged in the river. A pontoon bridge was constructed by 5 o'clock in the afternoon. "The Second corps found all the bridges destroyed except that at Conde, which was in possession of the enemy and remained so until the end of the battle. "During the nights of the 13th and 14th and following days field companies incessantly worked night and day, throwing eight pontoons and one footbridge across the river under a generally heavy artillery fire, which was incessantly kept up on most of the crossings after their completion. "Day after day, night after night, the enemy's infantry has been hurled against us in a violent counter attack, which has never on any one occasion succeeded, while the trenches all over his position have been under continuous and heavy artillery fire. "Our experiences in this campaign beem to point to the employment of more heavy guns of larger caliber in great battles which last several days, during which time powerful intrench ing work on both sides can be carried out. These batteries were used with considerable effect on the 24th and following days." Italian Scientists Publish Findings After a. Thorough Study. Bome.—Professors Alessandrini and Scala have just published an elaborately illustrated report of their investigations into pellagra. They formulate two fundamental conclusions—(1) that pellagra is not dependent on a malze diet and (2) that it is a disease strictly localized and limited to areas where water is drunk which has been almost exclusively in contact with a clay soil. The clay contains silicic acid and in a colloidal state. Experiments on monkeys, rabbits, guinea pigs and puppies proved that the typical pellagra symptoms could be induced in them by the injection of colloidal silicic acid and that eating malze made no difference one way or the other. The professors discovered that the effects of the silicic acid could be counteracted by subcutaneous injections of neutral citrate of sodium, and they cite ten cases of patients much benefitted if not cured by daily injections of a 10 per cent solution of trisodic citrate. BLOW RESTORES HER SIGHT. Mother Can See After Son Swats Fly on Her Face. Denver—Mrs. Frank Paxton of Arcada, a Denver suburb, recently for the first time saw her husband and her eight-year-old son. For the first time since she was seven years old she is able to distinguish objects of any kind by the eye. The recovery of her vision she considers almost a miracle. Nine years ago she married Paxton, a mining engineer. She had just graduated from the State School For the Blind at Colorado Springs. A fly lit on her face, and her little son tried to knock it off with a newspaper, the corner of which struck her left temple. Almost immediately she screamed: "I must be dying! I can see!" Now the vision of her left eye is virtually normal. Six months ago physi clans who treated her declared she never could regain her sight. CITY OF MALINES IS DEAD AFTER A BATTLE Only 14 of Its 60,000 Inhabitants Found by Visitor. Copenhagen.—Fourteen stricken human beings, running and crouching in the shadows of an autumn evening, and one dog, howling amid the rulns of his master's house, were the only life left in Malines when the Germans swept through it a few days ago. The dead cathedral city was peopled by these few terrified ghosts—all that were left of Malines 60,000 inhabitants, who fled as soon as they saw the first ublans galloping along the road, from Brussels. A German writer has just visited the stricken city St. Rombold's gothic cathedral and other parts of the town have received a few more shattering blows since the Germans passed through it. The last onslaught on Antwerp had wrought a miracle in Maliines. Every door was open—at least those of the houses which were left standing—a clean white cloth was on nearly every table, and there were fruit and wine in plenty. The shops were open, and children's playthings were strewn about the pavements and in the gardens exactly as they had been left. Now and then a German soldier crossed near the wool market in the Place d'Egmont and joined more soldiers working on the railway. Thousands of Germans passed through Mallnes; hundreds of evening meals had been prepared, but not a bottle of wine was touched. In the suburb of Muysen the door of a watch and silversmith's shop stood open, and there were neatly displayed rows of gold and silver watches, bracelets and women's trinkets untouched. Under the shadow of the cathedral stood the restaurant of the Golden Fleece, with tables spread and vlands and wines untouched. Had the dreams of Hauptmann come true? asked the writer. What miracle had been performed in this silent city? What unseen hand was at the helm of the empty boats that drifted down the river Dyle? What fear had killed "even the little yellow singing friend-of humanity." as he called the canaries that were lying dead at the bot tom of their cages? COW'S "BABY DEAR" A DEER. Adopted Motherless, Fawn Got Milk Farmer Missed. Greensburg, Pa - Following a Jersey cow which had developed a habit of disappearing every morning and coming home in the evening without her usual supply of milk, James Wilson whose farm adjoins the state game preserve near Ligonier, discovered that the cow is raising a motherless fawn. Wilson was surprised to see a pretty fawn come from among the under brush and start to nurse at the cow's side. Bossy seems well pleased with her charge, and the fawn shows affection for the cow. Kintner B Rodgers, game protector, found the mother of the fawn dead. He has arranged with Wilson to permit the cow to raise the baby deer. UNCLE SAM BUILDS BIGGEST WARSHIP Construction on Three Super Dreadnoughts Is Started. The California, the Mississippi and the Idaho Will Each Require 1,100 Officers and Men-No Other Vessel of Any Nation Can Equal Them In Size. To Carry Fourteen Inch Guns. Washington.-The secretary of the navy has recently signed three papers, the signing of which officially started the construction of the world's greatest battleships of the super-Dreadnought type, the California, Mississippi and Idaho. This trio of mighty fighting ships will represent when completed a total displacement of 90,000 tons and will have cost the United States government between $45,000,000 and $50,000,000. To man them will be necessary a complement of about 1,100 officers and men to the ship, exclusive of marine detachments. They will be sister ships in every sense of the word, and each will be able to hurl a broadside of fourteen inch shells, the weight of which broadside will be 16,500 pounds. This refers only to the fourteen inch guns, of which there will be twelve to a ship, mounted three to a turret, two turrets forward and two aft. The authorization of these great ships shows that in eight years the size of American Dreadnoughts has exactly doubled, for the ships of the Michigan class, the original Dreadnought type of the American navy, displaced 16,000 tons, whereas the displacement of the California and her sister ships is 32,000 tons. The Michigan mounts eight twelve-inch guns in her main battery, which fired in broadside would give a total of 6,800 pounds as compared with the 16,800 pound broadside of the California. After the Michigan type came the Dreadnoughts Delaware and North Dakota, authorized in 1907. In those ships the tonnage per ship was increased to 20,000 tons and the main batteries consisted of ten twelve-inch guns mounted two to a turret, two forward and three aft. A Delaware twelve inch broadside weighs 8,500 pounds. The next step in the progression brings us to the Utah and Florida, the first of the super-Dreadnoughts. In them the displacement reached 21,825 tons, and the twelve-inch broadside remained in weight the same as in the case of the Delaware and North Dakota. The construction of these ships began in 1900. The following year the present fleet flagship Wyoming and the first division flagship Arkansas were authorized. They represented a great stride in American Dreadnought design. Each of them displaced 26,000 tons, and in them the main batteries were increased from ten to twelve twelve-inch guns. A Wyoming broadside weighs 10,200 pounds. After the Wyoming and the Arkansas the keels of the monster super Dreadnoughts New York and Texas were laid in 1911. These were the first United States warships to mount the powerful fourteen inch ordnance. In them the displacement was increased to 27,000 tons. The New York broadside of ten fourteen-inch guns weighs 14,000 pounds The Nevada and Oklahoma, which are soon to be added to the fleet under Admiral Fletcher, came next They displace 27,500 tons and, like the New York and Texas, have main batteries of ten fourteen-inch guns to the ship. The turret arrangement is different, however, for instead of two guns to a turret, as is the case with all the other ships named, the guns are mounted in four turrets. In two of the turrets are three guns, and in the other two turrets are two guns. This represents an entirely new departure in American gun arrangement. The Nevada broadside, like that of the ships of the New York class, weighs 14,000 pounds. From the New York to the Arizona is the next step in the progression In these ships the tonnage was in creased to 31,500 tons and two additional twelve inch guns were added to the main batteries of each After the Nevada come the Cali formla. Mississippi and Idaho, the ships whose construction has just been authorized No other navy in the world possesses ships, either built, under construction or authorized, that are the equal in either offensive or defensive power to America's latest authorized troi of giant fighters. $1,200 FOR ELEVEN PEARS. Auction In Lorden Raises Funds For Relief of Belgians. London.—Remarkable scenes, were witnessed in the fruit auction sales rooms at Hull, when $1,200 was paid for eleven ordinary French pears, the proceeds to be devoted to the Belgian relief fund. Many purchasers paid $50 for a single pear, and the first purchaser at that price was a German fruit merchant, who also gave 10 gul neas ($52.50) for the auctioneer's hammer. Some purchasers bought their pears several times over, and one man who paid $100 had no pear at the end of the sale. TO FORBID COTTON CROP. Movement Started to Suspend Planting in the South. Washington.—A movement which, if it is successful, will mean that no cotton will be planted in the ninegreat cotton growing states of North and South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, Texas and Oklahoma in 1915 will take delicate shape in the states referred to. The plan is for the states to pass laws that will prohibit the planting of cotton and substitute oats, corn and other grains. The two states that are expected to lead the movement are Texas, the largest cotton growing state of the south, and South Carolina, the leading cotton goods manufacturing state south of the Potomiac. The "no crop in 1915" movement is the result of the deliberations of the Southern Cotton association. The resolution offered by Governor Noel and adopted by the association points out that if no cotton is planted in 1915 it will not impose undue burdens on the cotton growers or consumers and that the drastic action advocated in addition to eradicating the boll weevil and other pests will as a result of the planting of other crops reduce the cost of living and bring to the farmers of the south the benefits of crop diversification. TRADE LOOKS UP IN WEST. Chicago Packing Houses Forced to Run Night and Day. Chicago. Merchants, manufacturers, packers and men in many other lines of trade report a significant upturn in business conditions in and around this city and in the middle west generally. Some of the improvement is attributed to conditions arising from the war, but a much larger proportion is attributed to increasing American prosperity—a more insistent demand among Americans for agriculture products. At no time in the history of the Chicago stock yards has business been so brisk. In fact, all the big packing establishments have orders enough to keep them working night and day until Jan. 1. While the war is a contributing factor, it by no means accounts for the general activity in all lines of manufacturing. Washington. — Despite the general check on business in consequence of the European war and the interference of war vessels with the shipping of belligerent nations, traffic through the Panama canal in the first month and a half of its commercial service exceeded the expectations of Colonel Goethals Up to Oct. 7 100 vessels had passed through, and the traffic is increasing. A picturesque fleet which passed through recently was composed of four Norwegian steam whaling vessels which had been in Maldenalena bay, West Mexico. The season of eight months had netted 20,000 barrels of oil worth $300,000. By using the canal the fleet expected to reach Norway four months sooner than if it had gone around South America and to save between $25,000 and $30,000 in expenses of travel after paying $4,012 canal tolls The canal government has established mail and cable service for the officers and crews of vessels. Letters and cable messages addressed to Cristobal or Bholoa, Canal Zone, will be delivered to passing ships. By using a wall map and push pins representing ships the port captain can tell where a vessel in the canal should be at any moment. WIN ORCHARD MARATHON. Five Apple Trees Bear Perfect Fruit For Twelve Years. Silver Lake, Ore.—Twelve crops without a failure is the marathon record of five apple trees, on the ranch of Felix Duncan on the west bank of Silver lake. Mr. Duncan is harvesting a big crop from the trees this year. These trees, says Mr. Duncan, never have been pruned nor cultivated. They had a precarious existence in the four years following their planting, as they were in the center of a pasture with no protection from stock. When they blossomed the fifth year Mr. Duncan built a fence about the small orchard and since has harvested a big crop each year. Mr Duncan does not know what kind of applqs he is growing, but says he never has plucked a wormy or faulty apple from any of the trees. Shrapnel Kills More Than Bullets. New York.-Alfred Keene, and-decamp to Major Brochard, in charge of hospitals at Denuville, France, arriving here to aid in obtaining funds for the work, said there were 3,060 wounded in Troutville and Denuville when he left France. Oply 5 per cent of the wounds were serious, he said, and he placed the fatalities at 3 per cent of the total. Less than 5 per cent of the soldiers in the hospitals were wounded by bullets, he said. The worst wounds were caused by shrapnel bursting over the men as they were lying in the trenches. KRUPPS MAKING BIGGEST GUNS YET FOR USE ON THE CHANNEL. Each Gun Will Weigh Forty-five Tons. Little Danger That They Will Be Able to Command Waterway From Coast, However, as Range Is Reduced by Size of Shell. The Hague-To the rumors that the Krupp works at Essen are building fifty-six centimeter guns has now been added another—the claim that the same plant is turning out sixty centimeter pieces. While it is hard to believe this, it must be borne in mind that a siege piece of forty-two centimeters, the existence of which was doubted before the war, has become a convincing reality, as has also the Austrian 30.5 centimeter piece, which even after the outbreak of the war was looked upon as a very interesting table. To be sure, a 30.5 centimeter (about twelve inch) gun was not in itself a novelty. But that the Austrians would be able to make such a piece mobile for field purposes was thought out of the question. The same process of reasoning was applied to the German forty-two centimeter or sixteen, and one-half inch gun. A mathematical relation of cause and effect, in this [Image of a man with a mustache and a suit]. DR. GUSTAV VON BOHLEN UND HALBACH, IN CHARGE OF KRUPPS' FACTORY instance the ability of steel to withstand the shock of the propelling explosive, and the weight which such a machine of destruction would have led to the conclusion that a sixteen-and one-half inch gun while possible, could not be transported easily enough to permit its use in the field. Nevertheless it was shown that, though the German forty-two centimeter gun weighs about twenty-six tons, transportation difficulties had been overcome largely with the aid of motor traction and other devices. Since the increase in weight of a fifty-six centimeter or twenty-two inch gun over a forty-two centimeter gun would not be very great and since the increase in a sixty centimeter or twenty-three and one-half inch gun over a twenty-two inch would be an almost negligible quantity the existence of such pieces need not be doubled in this respect. If it is possible to move over ordinary roads and across soft fields a twenty-six ton piece it is not unreasonable to expect that a gun weighing thirty-five tons would offer no new transportation problems No attention need be paid to popular rumors making the rounds that the new pieces are designed to bombard the English coast from the coast of France. The extreme flight of the sixteen and one-half inch shell has been given as about twelve kilometers for the "krumbahn," or high trajectory pieces, and sixteen kilometers for those having a flatter course. Since the increase in caliber from sixteen and a half to twenty-three and a half does not necessarily mean a proportionate lengthening of range it is not at all likely that the English coast cities opposite Calais and other channel points will make the acquaintance of the "brummers," as the Germans have come to call their large silage pieces. The fifty-six centimeter and sixty centimeter pieces, should they actually exist, would find their uses, and these, as more or less well informed circles here assert, would consist of arming some naval base on the channel which the Germans hope to establish during the course of this war There is an authentic report that in this establishment over 46,000 men are busy day and night turning out war material. While a large percentage of this force must be employed in supplying current demands of ammunition for the field pieces and replacing losses in this arm, it is only reasonable to assume that this huge force should in part be employed in the making of new and larger "brummers." That the works are turning out new additions to the forty two centimeter equipment is known, for only a few days ago six new pieces of this class were taken to the vicinity of Antwerp. ICCHTYOL FOUND HERE. Necessity Mother of Discovery as Well as of Invention. New York.—Following the announcement in a recently issued bulletin of the United States geological survey to the effect that ichthyol oil, a valuable medicament, has been, along with many other products, cut off by the war and that an imitation oil is now being made to take its place, comes the announcement from a local source that the real ichthyol has been found in this country. 'Samples of the fossiliferous deposits in which the oil is found were recently brought to the attention of a well known technical chemist in this city, and he reported that these deposits were identical in every respect to those existing in the Austrian Tyrol, from which place the world's supply of ichthyol has so far been obtained. The deposits in question are under the direction of the chemist referred to and are now being developed by New York interests, which have secured control of the properties and expect to get handsome returns on their investment. The properties cover some 800 acres. This is apparently another case where the war has brought attention to the need of development of a property containing a valuable product which has bitherto been supplied from abroad. HUNTS SON HE DROVE AWAY. Father, Seventy, Searches Europe and America In Vain. Shelbyville, Ind.-Weary and broken in health, William Keyman, seventy, has returned to Shelbyville after a tour of Europe and the United States in search of his son, who, in a fit of anger, he sent away from his home here four years ago. Keyman, now repentant for the quarrel which caused his son to depart, visited nearly every city in the United States, following up one clew after another, as well as the large cities of Europe, only to return without tilings from the lost boy. "I will remain in Shelbyville but a short time," Keyman said. "After I have rested I shall go to Canada and again take up the search." GERMAN AND BRITISH DOCTORS SIDE BY SIDE London.—The Berlin Vossche Zeitung of a recent date publishes the following extract from a letter written by a wounded British soldier to his relatives. It reads: "For three hours I lay among dead and wounded before English and German Red Cross ambulances arrived almost at the same time. "The German and English doctors saluted, and then they worked together alding the wounded. "An English physician amputated the left leg of a soldier while a German physician administered carothes to him." "During the five battles in Galicia a woman, Anna Pelegrihul of Bozen, was constantly in the firing line adding the wounded soldiers," the Wiener Extrablatt asserts. "Mrs. Pelegrin accompanied her husband from Innsbruck by showing a pass saying she was a nurse. The commander of the regiment tried in vain to persuade her to leave the battlefield. "I lost my nerve somewhat when the first bullets were flying over my head," she said, "but I soon was used to it and later I did not mind it at all. I was lucky to escape unwounded." "Soon after this battle Mrs. Pelegrin lost sight of her husband and did not find him until several days later. He had been shot in the left shoulder and was taken care of in a field hospital." Lleutenant A. C. Johnston, well known as Hants county premier cricketer, is beginning to believe that he bears it charmed life. He has been sent home wounded from the front, but he said he considers himself mighty lucky to be even alive. He had many narrow escapes from death. The day before he was wounded the nose of a shell hit a wall six inches over his head. Shortly after a bullet hit the ground a half yard ahead of him, glanced up and hit him on the body, only brushing him. Then a bullet hit him over the heart, but it was "spent," and he picked it out of his breast pocket and sent it home to his wife as a souvenir. His final escape came while he was sitting on the steps of a house. Half the building was bwn up, and he was not even touched. CHRISTENED IN AEROPLAME. Chicago Youngster Named Ariel While 1,000 Feet Up. Chicago.—Miss Ariel Vilas, who has attained the dignity of four weeks, enjoys the distinction of being the first "aeroplane baby" She was christened at a distance of approximately a thousand feet from the earth and gurgled with delight over the sensation of having a name bestowed upon her while soaring like a bird, with her father at the wheel. Ariel is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jack Vilas. They conceived the original idea of christening their first born in the air. STUDIES SCHOOLS ON TRAMP. Dr. Finley Sleeps In a Barn on His Incognito Tour. Albany, N. Y.—John Huston Finley, LL. D., president of the University of the State of New York and state commissioner of education, started out from Elmira on a tramp through the counties of Chemung, Schuyler, Yates and Ontario. He traveled incognito and visited the rural schools to study the conditions at first hand. Dr. Arthur D. Dean, chief of the division of vocational schools, accompanied him. vocational schools, accompanied him. "We walked to catch the atmosphere, to feel the pulse, not to spy," said Dr. Dean, "and there certainly were con- ditions revealed both good and bad. We had merely a sympathetic desire to see things as they are and encourage the need to improve the bodi." the good and help improve the bad." In describing the trip Dr. Dean sald; "Among some twenty schools there were only two where the teachers lived in the district the year around. It ```markdown ``` looked as though the school came to life at 9 o'clock and died at 4 o'clock each day; 24 though it breathed once every twenty-four hours for five hours for five days in the week every week in the school year and then remained dead till fall. "The teachers were mostly young girls from the villages. The pay was small, ranging from $9 to $12 a week. Very few teachers' remained for more than a year in the same district. There was one case where a teacher changed districts for the same salary. In one section all the schoolhouses seemed to be located at the most barren places." UNSAFE TO DEPEND ON ONE CROP ALONE Expert Points Out That South Is Paying the Penalty. Washington. - "The situation in in which the cotton planters now find themselves is only an illustration of the danger attendant upon any farm enterprise and business based on raising a single crop," said Professor Spillman, chief of the office of farm management. "It may run along very well for awhile, even for many years, but some disaster will undoubtedly overtake it. Our study and investigation have amply demonstrated that it is never safe to build agriculture on any one thing. "The wheat growers of the Pacific northwest had no better resource than wheat. In 1893 the crop was ruined by untimely rains. In 1894 they experienced the panic, and the price of wheat fell as low as 18 cents per bushel. The next year it rose to 25 cents a bushel and in 1896 was boosted up to 35 cents. During that period nearly every bank and every commercial house in that region went broke. So many mortgages were called on farms that the price of farm land, which had been $40 to $50 per acre, fell as low as $10 and $12. The Pacific northwest for years past has not been depending on wheat alone. The farmers learned a costly lesson. "The same thing is true of the rice producers in regions where no other crops were raised in large quantities. Farmers who grew nothing but rice have met with two or three eras of prices away below the cost of production, and financial ruin has followed. "Every region that has but one great agricultural enterprise has suffered more or less the same way. "The evident thing that the south must do is to produce enough of all the things her wonderfully rich soil can produce to meet her home requirements. That is what the office of farm management has been urging on the south." Advises People to Stay In Cellars. London.-The mayor of Gravesend, the gate of London, has warned the people against trying to gratify their curiosity in the event of a raid by Zeppelins.

(Miss Nettie Jackson.) Just at twilight Sunday, October 11, Aida Overton Walker, the brightest star of the stage, answered the last call at her residence on 132d Street, New York. She was the widow of the late George Walker of Williams & Walker Company. It was under the tutorship of her famous actor-husband she climbed to the pinnacle of the profession and enjoyed a fame of international scope. Aida Overton Walker was the most conspicuous and most popular colored woman on the stage. In 1896 she attracted attention as a soubret in the Black Patti Company. In 1895 she became a member of the famous Williams & Walker Company and it was with this well known organization that she won her greatest stage laurels. Her greatest song successes were "Hannah from Savannah," "Sons of Ham," "It's Hard to Love Somebody When That Somebody Don't Love You," "The Isle of Bye and Bye," "Sweetie' Dear," "That's Why They Call Me Shine," and "Porto Rico." A few years later the "cake walk" became the craze. Aida Overton Walker was a guest at a farewell dinner given to Mrs. Arthur Paget by Robert Hargous at Delmonico's The affair was an exclusive one and was attended by the Four Hundred. When the Williams & Walker Company was playing in England in "In Dahomey." Mrs. Walker was eagerly sought by titled persons to teach them to cake walk. Lady Constance Mackenzie of Dunrolin Castle was one of her pupils, and Mrs. Walker cherished the following letter inviting her to give. Lady Constance dancing lessons. The letter: Dunrolin Castle, Sutherland. Lady Constance Mackenzie will be very much obliged if Mrs. Walker will give her a dancing lesson on Monday at five o'clock, in the evening. She is sorry she was unable to have them before. Please let Lady Constance know if Mrs. Walker cannot come; otherwise she will expect her at Stafford House, St. James, at 5 on Monday next, the 5th. Aida Overton Walker is dead. Her place will be a hard one to fill. It has been said "great talent comes through suffering." We have honored and applauded Aida Overton Walker for the last time. Peace be to her ashes. She cannot come to us again. We must go to her. Would not pluck a flower so rare. Dead! O tragedy supreme! Death, inexorable, Has claimed our loveliest queen. Stand we with bated breath, Gazing impotently; The mighty conqueror, Death, Stalks by unnoticingly; Picks from our garden fair The brightest plant of all; Nor marks our deep despair; Nor hears our frenzied call; O Death! withhold thy hand! Spare this, the choicest one! Death heeds not our command. Look not! The bloom is gone— Gone in the dawning light; Come at the highest noon— Come in the stillly night— Even then Death comes too soon. Dead! Ah no, this cannot be! She sleeps that we call death, Draws the veil from eternity. Dead! No! God in His great love Has gained this precious flower To transplant in realms above.

Important topics bear- ing on the administration of courts of justice, national and State legis- ation ; judicial procedure; Japanese immigration ; initiative, referendum and recall; injurction, and a host of other sfibjects almost equally in- teresting” and important were re- ported upon by the several commit- tees, and discussed by the most bril- liant Iegal lights of this country, Canada and South America. - Per- haps the clearest and most com- prehensive exposition of the constructive, as well as the’ defec- tive, work of lawyers and law- makers was contained in the ad- dress of Senator Root, a great jur- ist and statesman. It would be al- most impossible to follow Senator Root through the manly and often ‘complex. implications and phases with which his address teemed; nor would it be altogether pro- fiiablo to do so, even if we were capable. The tone of the address may he presumed ‘from an expression made shortly after he hegan. He.said: “It is worth while for all of us, from whatever ‘statgs, to give serious consideration ty these ‘complaints about. the ad- ministration of justice from what- ever quarter theyscome.” Follow- ing this he presents the facts that, during the past five years ending January, 1913, national and State legislatures together passed 62,014 statutes, and that within.the same time 63,379 judicial decisions were rendered by State and Federal courts of last resort, which were re- ported in 630 volumes. This is enough to stagger the ordinary law- yer, not to speak of the absolutely confounding cffects sustained by the unsuspecting wayfarer. In ent- phasis of the justness ofthe unis er- sal complaint against such reckless accumulation of legislative and ju- dicial printed matter, he makes the criticism that, “Many of these stat- nes are drawn ingrtificially. care- lessty, ignorantly. Their terms are so vague, uncertain, doubtful that they breed litigation inevitably.” When it is considered that these jaws are passed hy legislators, the amost influential, if not a majority. of whom are lawyers, the statement of Senator Root clearly demon- Straies one of two things: either that the average legislator is an ex- ceedingly poor lawyer, or, if a good one, he cncourages seaseless verbi- age, anachronisms and ambiguities for professional exploitation and personal profit. It was not stated in what particular locality this sort of Iegislativn abounded? but, all . things considered, it may be fairl -conjectured that no small measure of it is to he found in the South especially that affecting social. po litical and labor rights of colorec people. Scriatar Root offers, amon; others, the following: “The estab lishment of a reference library fo the use of cach legislative body with a competent library force t furnish promptly to the legislator statistics, historical data and infor mation of all kinds pertinent t proposed measpres," and the “es tablishment of a drafting bureau o employment of expert counsel, stl ject to be called upon by the legi- lature and its committees, to put i proper form measures which ar desired, so that they wilt be draw with reference to previous legish tion and existing decisions on ith courts, and be written in good Eng lish. brief. single, clear and ire from ambizuity and inconsistency. The above — recommendatio: would have created no" surpris forty years ago. when there was | hue and cry about “nigger domi nance,” “carpet-bag rule,” “incom- petent legislators” and what not; but that such accessories become imperative when the legislation and judicial decisions are the sole hand- iwork qf the “superior race” and in an age’ of “efficiency” and anti- sentimentalism, indicates that the Reconstruction period is, after all, not so very far back, and that the recent crops of Jaw-makers, Jaw- yers and judges are not without their full quota of pettifoggers and incompetents. About everything Senator Root talked about referred to intra-structural amendment and regulation. It was a masterful ef- fort in the interest of judicial house cleaning and the institution lof appliances more suitable to the speedy administration of justice, for justice’. sake and the perpettta- tion of democratic institutions. Contrasted with Senator Root’s ad- dress may be that of the ‘reported address of Justice McReynolds, ex- Democratic -\ttorney General un- der President Wilson.” That gen- tleman propounded — two proposi- tions which are: “First, are our judges making themselves_a_sui- ficiently affirmative force? Sec- ond, are our judges giving suffi- cient, attention to, public opinion?” \s to the first question, another may be asked: “*.\re' not the judges altogether too affirmative?" The reasonableness of this latter query may be appreciated when it is re- membered that Southern judges take the liberty to affinn just how iar a colored attorney may go when it, cumes to cross-questioning a white witness, [tis nothing un- usual to hear a judge in such a case say to a colored attorney: “Don't talk in that way to the witness -he's a white man.” We are of the opin- ion that the exercise of affirmative influence is altogether out of pro- portion to correct judicial latitude. On Justice McReynolds’ second proposition we emphatically dis- agree. As a matter of fact, there appears to us to be entirely too mutch déference paid to public opin: ion ay it is commonly understood. Were the attitude of the court to adjust itself to the concensus 0! the most approved opinion of th |best thinking clement, there might Jbe no reasonable objection. Bur what will be said of the spineles: jsubmission of Southern judges ts the conjoined opinion of larg tmasses of the worst elements in the } Southland? But for want of 7 fuller explanation of what wa: jreally meant, charity suggests : y;Most ‘liberal construction. — We {commend ,to our progressive col Jored lawyers a study and analysi J of the proceedings of the Bar Asso jciation, as-it is hy far the most in ‘teresting yet furnished. LAWYERS. ATTENTIC yt The action by the Americar Bar Association upon the resolution passed in 112, declaring that “it has never been contemplated that members of the colored race should become members ofthis association, rust be as gratifying to the friends of the doctrine of the absolute equality of all men before the law. as it is disappointing to its ene- mies. The resolution to rescind the action of two years ago was offered hy Moorfield Storey, of Massachu- setts, and. as was to be expected, consideration of the same was postponed until the very latest pos- sible hour of the proceedings, which terminated on Thursday. The cf- forts of the friends of justice “to defeat the 1912 resolution at -the time of its consideration are fresh in the minds of the colored read- ing public; and only the pressure of what at that time was considered more important business prevent- ed a victorious “line up” for its de- feat. The passage of the discrimi- natory resolution encouraged 2 | most Ditter and boastful manifesta- tion of race prejudice. The South- ern press gloated over it, ridiculed {the idea of professional ambition or the part of colored men and womer [and indulged in curtain lectures ad sMatseum about the proper place for | persons of .\frican extraction. Ever some af our most notable Distric {lawyers justified the action of th tassociation on the ground that the lmembership constituted a “social’ fas well as professional body, anc that it was insufferable presumptior far a_ colored person, whateve pmight be his legal attainments o' ort qualities, to aspire -to mem Ahership. ne member from th {District was particularly emphati ‘and offensive. He went so fara to say that the colored lawyer themselves, asa whole. disfavore -lany attempt to affiliate with the so yjcalled = white — organization. O 0 churse, this was arrant assumptio: ;on the part of the white Distric -{lawyer. The fact is that. to a mar -jthere was sore disappointment an ‘}humiliation felt at so unjust an }}senseless a thrust. But the boast ‘Jing and misrepresentation wer |kept up. and the cohorts of dis |criminatory legislation, jimcrowisr and segregation combined solidly toi qmaitttain a status quo. This they: have done in spite of the glaring facts of the steady advancement and splendid accomplishments of colored men in the field of juris- prudence. When, therefore, Mr. Storey offered his resolution to re- scind, the enemies, wrapped in the solitude of their own self-conccit and intoxicated by the thought of previous successes, rode into the fray with lances’ glittering and | strong. But they had missed their ‘reckoning; they fgrgot that they jwere living in a progressive age. ithat the conservatism of the past is Inow a back number, and that there is a limitation to tomfool notions ‘about “social equality” and the *in- ‘herent superiority of the’ white frace.” ‘They forgot that the object ‘of the American Bar .\ssociation is ‘primarily and. essentially pledged [to constructive work, and not the phantasntagoria of day-dreamers. Xs a corbedtence, when the coa- jtest became thick and hot, a truce j Was requested hy the erstwhile vic- tors. They had been driven from ytheir trenches by the better element lof the Association. A new line of jstrategy must now be pursued, and jit was sugeested and executed by j Henry St. George Tucker, of Vir- iginia, aml its nature was a com- | romise, to-wit, “that the resolu- tion of 1912 be rescinded.” but that j whereas.’ it, is important that full jinformation should be furnished to jthe Executive Committee ats to ap- jPlications far membership, it was resolved that all. applications for membership should state the race amd sex of the applicant. and such other facts as the committee should | require.” Such was the compromise. | The friends of justice have siteceed- [ea in wiping from the records of tthe American Bar Association a {most damnable provision. The let- lier of discrimination has beer Jerased, and it only remains to be seen whether the accompanying {spirit has also been transferred te ‘limbo. We are indeed most grate: jiul to Mr. Storey and friends for |their manly advocacy of an open: {door into the field of professiona | proficiency and honor. -It was ¢ | glorions victory.

Phe, object and an oF the Cidest Inhabitants’ Association are. as The Bee understands, for the plyas- ture of the members. | It is not sup- posed that any kind of measures are to be iftrnduced into the as- sociation that in the least would disturb the quietude of anybody. ‘This was the sentiment manifested at the meeting last: Monday night. This association is composed of some of the hest citizens in Wash- ington, men who believe in fair play and brotherly love among the members. .\s The Bee understands it and from what the members said, or at least the more sen- sible, no one was authorized te send out letters condemning any one in the schools. Such measures heloig to civic organizations. The moment this association permits politics to enter into its delibera- tions, that moment the associatior tshould disband. This is not an or: ganization for anybody to air hi grievances or to vent any persona Spleen -against anybody and th sooner “hot head" agitators realiz this fact, the better he will be abl to rest his weary bones.

Congress has adjourned. We may now pause to contemplate the legislative gyrations and’ circum- gyrations af that awfully peculiar ly incompetent hody, the like of which never before was seen or heard or felt. It declaréd itself-to be a representative body of the whole people, yet what little it has done has been done for only one section—the South. Verily, the South is in the saddle to remain, we hope, for but a short while longer, Otherwise, nothing short of a miracle can bring back the con- ditions which characterized the good old Republican times when there was prosperity,.progress and contentment, Lut had there been a less marked display of legislative assininity the South would have fared better. So insane were some on the subject of cotton that they were foolish cnough to resort to filibustering with a bare chance o! booming the cotton interests when, had they , possessed any sort of gumption, they would have put in the sane effort in putting through federal reserve legislation which swould have expanded credits at the South ae over $300,000,.900, But what else could one expect? I ‘was simply a case of another Tan- talusthe bone and the million: ‘are both gone. ATTORNEY IL\RRISON Millam Harrison, Esq, a mem- ber of the Oklahoma bar, acquitted himself maniully before the Su- preme Court of the United States Jast Monday afternoon in the pres- ence of some of the greatest law- yers in the country. This able son of Ham could not he disconcerted in any way whatever by the great Chief Justice of the court. The ar- gument of Mr. Harrison fulty dem- onstrated what the Negro lawyer can do if he is given the business or the opportunity. Mr. dTarrison knew his case and the law and the argument he advanced convinced his hearers that Negroes know the Taw and know how to argue it. His address before the Bethel Literary also, was another masterlyeffort of this‘disciple of Blackstone. It was through Rev. Jernigan and others that this ‘Oklahoma case was brought from Oklahoma to the United States Supreme Court. , The Bee next week will contain a synopsis ofthis argument and the [part Rev, Jernigan took in this ech iebrated case, which The Bee hopes |will result in a vindication of the |tights of the Negroes in this coun: ‘try. i COLORED CLERKS REDUCED White Republicans in office or those who have any power at all are inimical to the colored clerks. In the Treasury Department Re- publican hold-overs have recom- mended the demotion and transfer of the following first-grade clerks, to-wit: John D.. Davis, .\ddison Syphax. Win. Rates, John Lewis and W. P. Daniel. Robert Harri- son and Ebenezer Bassett rave been redjiced to messengers any transferred to the Treasury De- partment. The Bee cannot believe that ‘President Wilson would — tolerate such injustice to.competent colored men if he knew. Hence, The Bee takes this opportunity to calf at- tention of Secretary McAdoo anc the President to these wholesal demotions and transfers of compe: tent and worthy colored clerks. The Bee understands that thes¢ changes were made ‘upon the ree: ommendation of hold-over Republi cans. These hold-over Republi cans are more dangerous to th Democratic party than Democrat: are themselves. Mr, McAdoo, wil you look into this? NEXT TUESDAY. The election next Tuesday will decide the fate of one or the other parties. In Ohio the Democrats have outgencraled the Republicans by inserting in their platform cer- tain planks that are of vital inter- est to the people. The teachers’ pension, a laboring man's. plank, employees” compensation _ plank, etc. The Republicans. will elect at least twelve or fourteen members of the House. In Maryland the outlook is that four Republican Congressmen will be elected. | Iinojs will return Uncle Joe Cannon and Mr. McKinley. Mr. Longsworth will be returned and manv other of the old guard. - District. Attorney Whitman o!

THE STUDENT. ‘ There are institutions in” this cotmtry that subject students to ab- ject slavery. In many instances a student who is depemdent on a uni- versity for an education is often subjected to many indignities and humiliations. If, perchance, the student asserts a little independence he is told that he is impudent or insubordinate. The alleged digni- atry of the university throws out his chest and tells the poor student that he will be suspended or ex- pelled if he talks back. He is not in many instances permitted to re- ply ina manly manner to the com- mon janitor or the watchman, if either should happen to be the fa- vorite of the mighty in charge, the student must be humiliated or leave the university. It is a bad thing to put too much power in the hands of the subordinates. BUILDING ASSOCIATION. -The only building — association among colored people that has ever succeeded in this city is the La- borers’, Mechanics’ and Industrial Association. There has not been an association of any kind that has amounted to anything, in this city, among the colored people but the present one. And why is it? It is because the men connected with it are not grafters and “society mad.” ‘The only regret is that < Jaw could not have reached those who robbed the people out of theit money. The Bee wants to advis the people in this city that they need not have any fear in support ing the institutions that are now ir existence. What we should do i: to be grateful and honest in om business dealings witht cach other There is too much dishonesty. INTROUE Tf Dr. Charles -I1. Marshalt has circulated a report that the Editor of The Bee, Mr. Chase. complained to the president’ of the Board of Edueation concerning him,and that the Editor and the president had hot words, are untrue. The Editor of ‘The Bee has had no talk with the president of the Board of Edu- cation for nine months. The presi- dent of the Board of Education is snot the man to complain to about Dr. Marshall, but the United States Attorney and the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, which will be done at the proper time.

TEACHERS’ PENSION BILL here should be an organization formed in the interest of the teach- ers’ pension bill, In Ohio this is one of the items in the Democratic platform, Not only has this item been made an issue, but many other items in the interest of the people. The Democrats will win the gov- ernor aud many other officers on the planks in its platform. The Re. publicans have been asleep. (By the Sage of the Potomac.) “What funny things you see when you ain't got your gun.” was the ex- pression that one old-time hunter said. | don't know whether. it was Davy Crockett or Boss Croker that said it. Mebbe it was some other noted literary character, and mebbe it was Doc Sum Wormley who said it. Anyhow, I was reminded of it when ‘the other evening a caller called unexpectedly at a certain home occupied by topnotchers in the so- cial whirl. \ young. girl answered the door ring. He asked if Mr. Highup was home. Knowing him and Mr. Highup were pretty jairly intimate. she told him yes, and to go right up stairs to the back room, He alid so. .\s he neared the top of the stairs he thought he: heard the old familiar sound of the rattle*oi chips. and thought he heard a voice say. “I just raise yon ten.” Still the caller couldn't imagine the seductive game ‘of poker had devotees in this particu- lar congregational home. Just as he put his hand on the knob of the door to open it. there was a sound as of a hurried grabbing of chips and a hasty ‘removal of bottles. same as we used 'to hear at Boh Murray's Club when we thought wé smelt cops coming. He opened the door and there around ]a table were five dignitaries nonchal antly smoking and discussing segre- gation in the Post Office Building The caller was greeted familiarly and asked to take a seat, but noticing a he cesired to speak to the host. As he did so, a fertive glance ‘under the table brought to view a half dozen beer Bottles, two decks of cards ly- ing|in hasty’ abandonment, and three or four chips that had failed to reach thee intended receptacle. The host exthised himscli, stepped out in the hail, and the caller talked with him about what he called for.

PIG CLUB IDEA MEETS POPU- . LAR APPROVAL The Ratse-a-Pig Movement, which was inaugurated by Booker T. Wash- ington some weeks ago, has caused much favorable comment from both ‘the white and colored press. The ‘Charlotte, N. C, Observer speaks editorially as follows: i‘ ceethe Observer. has always found much to commend in Booker Wash- ington’s administration of the affairs of Tuskegee Institute, but nothing more than the inspiration which has come to him through conditions pre- cipitated on the South by the Euro- ‘pean War. In’a letter to the editor of the Observer—and one which we suppose he has sent to other papers— he outlines a policy by which the col- ored race may provide itself with ‘better homes, schools, colleges and churches and Iast, but not least. pay its debts. He warns that this desir- ble result cannot be attained at once,et but steadily and | progressively through ‘a strong pull together.’ According to the arguinent of this colored educator, there are 1,100,000 colored families who live on farms or in villages. Of this number, at the present, time. 700m have no pigs. *L want to ask that each family raise at least one pig this fall. Where one or more pigs are already owned. | want to ask that each family raise one additional pig this fall.’ He suz- gests that this plan be followed by the organization of a Pig Club in every community, where one docs not already exist, and asks that the ‘matter be taken up through families, schools, churches, societies, Farmers” Institutes and Business Leagues. As he figures it, the average pig 15 val- ued at about $3. Lf each family adds ‘only one pig, in a few months, at the Present prices of hozs. $10 would be added-to the wealth of the owner and $14,000,008 to the wealth of the col- ored people. If each family adds two pigs. it would have in a few months $20 more wealth and $28,000,000 would be added with which to pro- mote the welfare of the race during the money stringency created by the European War. The Observer com- mends this plan to the colored farm- ers of North Carolina. It is the most ‘practical piece of advice which has een handed out to them in years. and it points the way to independ- ce and the comforts of life.” WHY GOD IS ANGRY WITH THE WORLD "THECONTROVERSYOFZION" Explaulns How Jehovah Balances the Books—Wrong Thoughts of God's Wrath—Preparations For the New Dispensation of World-Wide Blessings to Both the Church and the World—Terrible Fruitage Now of False Doctrines Taught For Centuries Oct. 25.—A splendid congregation listened spell-bound to Pastor Russell as his address inquired into the reason why in God's providence the world is being ushered into "a Time of Trouble, such as was not since there was a nation." What Oct. 25.—A splendid congregation listened spell-bound to Pastor Itussell as his address - inquired into the reason why in God's providence the world is being ushered into "a Time of Trouble, such as was not since there was a nation." What special sins call upon Justice for extraordinary penalty? The Pastor's text was, "And the nations were angry, and Thy wrath is come." Reaction 11:18. After some introductory comments upon his text, the speaker read a number of correlative Scriptures—Isiah 8:14; Jeremiah 25:15, 16, 27; 38; Isaiah 66:15, 16; Luke 21:24, 26; Revelation 6:9-11; 2 Thessalonians 1:3-10. Commenting on these Scriptures, the Pastor claimed that their united testimony referred to the present, mistranslated the end of the world; properly interpreted, the end of this Age, lapping upon and inaugurating the New Age—"the world to come." Only Jews, Gentiles and Saints. Only Jews, Gentiles and Saints. The Pastor declared that the whole world are Gentiles, according to the Scriptural presentation, except the true followers of Christ and the loyal-hearted Jews, who are still God's people under their Law Covenant. In classifying the great mass of Jews and of professed Christians as part of the world the Pastor meant no unkindness; but declared that to understand God's dealing in the present time, nominal Christians, or mere professors, must not be confounded with the "little stock" who have responded to the Gospel Call, "Gather My saints together unto Me salath the Lord; those who have made a Covenant with Me by sacrifice"—self-sacrifice. (Psalm 50:5; Romans 12:1.) If we shall recognize these saintly Christians of every nation and denomination as being the one true Church, "whose names are written in Heaven," and if we shall recognize all others as Gentiles, we shall be getting the eyes of our understanding into true alignment with the mind of God as expressed in the Bible. Thus seen, God is not merely calling nations to war, to battle, as nations, but in a more particular sense the call is to this Gentile class irrespective of national boundaries. And it is worthy of note that throughout the Scriptures the great masses of India, China, etc., are comparatively ignored. Because they have not come into particular contact with God's Messages they are not so particularly included in the judgments, chastisements, troubles, foretold to be coming upon the earth at the close of this Age. In other words, unintentional ignorance of God is not a crime to be punished, but a defect to be corrected in due time by the blessings of Messiah's Kingdom. Wrong Thoughts of God's Wrath. When thinking of the wrath of God coming upon the world, we are not to think of the Almighty as having exercised great patience for centuries and finally losing His temper and wreaking vengeance upon His creatures. Such a thought might be gathered from some of the expressions of the Scriptures, because of adaptation of language to human comprehension, and more or less loss of the true sentiment in translating and through the mental gloss of the translators. In any event let us remember that this wrath of God and the judgments coming upon the world are wholly different from the legends—namely, eternal torture at the hands of demons, taught us by our creeds. Instinctively, a part of the dread we have of death in every form—by war, famine and sickness—is the fear of that eternal torture nightmare thrust upon us from childhood, incubated by all the creeds of Christendom, but without Bible foundation when the latter is properly translated and rightly understood. Furthermore, we should remember that while God has foretold the troubles of the Day of Wrath for centuries and indicates that He will have to do with their precipitation upon the world, nevertheless elsewhere He also shows us that these troubles really come from ourselves, that they are the outgrowth of human wrongdoing and that these dire penalties of sin would have wrecked our social and religious fabric long, long ago, had not Dirine Providence forged us-holding back the storm of human passion and avarice, and permitting it to come only now, in the end of the Age at the time when Dirine Providence has Messiah's Kingdom in full readi ness to take control. Just so soon as the storm of human passion shall have taught humanity its needed lesson and shall have liquidated the long standing accounts, Messiah's Kingdom, with a clean slate, will be inaugurated. 'Accounts Yet to Be Squared. In Jesus and in His saintly followers throughout this Gospel Age, the world has had God's Cause, the Cause of Righteousness and truth, more or less clearly manifested. Every persecution against these members of the Body of Christ is a crime against God and against righteousness. Of such sufferings the Apostle says, "If any suffer as a Christian, let him glorify God on this behalf; for the spirit of glory and of God restest on such." As a blessing rested upon all the Lord's faithful people who have suffered unjustly, so correspondingly a Divine curse, or penalty, has rested upon all persecutors of these, their responsibility being gauged by the degree of their knowledge, and their punishment proportionate. On the books of Justice, however, God represents that the lives of all His faithful ones cry out for vengeance; and that while mercy comes to all mankind through the sacrificial death of the Saviour, this does not alter the fact that Justice calls for punishments for crimes more or less wilful and therefore not included in the Saviour's atonement. Thus it was in the end of the Jewish Age, which may serve us as a pattern, or illustration of the ending of this Age. St. Paul, writing of that time, says, "Wrath is come upon this people to the uttermost, that all things written in the Law and the Prophets concerning them should be fulfilled." Notice, however, the vast difference between these Bible judgments and the eternal torment judgments falsely declared by every one of our creeds, which indirectly tell us that every Jew at death goes to eternal torment because he is not a Christian. But the Scriptures declare that the punishments upon the Jews which culminated in the destruction of Jerusalem in A. D. 70 were, some of them, for sins committed long before. Notice Jesus' words, "The blood of all the Prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, shall be required of this generation; from the blood of Abel into the blood of Zacharias, who perished between the Altar and the Temple"—Luke 11.50, 51. Wherein was the justice in exacting all that of the people living in the close of that Age? We reply that those people had far more responsibility than all who preceded them. They had a great Light amongst them, shining from Jesus and the early saints. In their treatment of these lightbearers, crucifying them and variously injuring them, upon that last generation of the Jewish Age "wrath came to the uttermost." "The Recompenses of Zion." The Bible intimates that similar aggregations of punishment are to be expected in the end of this Gospel Age. The great Time of Trouble, or Day of Wrath, is the "recompense of the controversy of Zion"—the saints, the true Church. For eighteen hundred years has Jesus prophetically declared that the Kingdom class would suffer violence; and the violent have usurped the place of the true by force. All the while, the violent have outwardly been posing as the True Church of Christ, while the saints of God in every epoch and in every century have suffered—"as decelvers and yet true; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, yet possessing all things." (2 Corinthians 6:S-10) "Heirs of God and Joint-heirs with Christ" (Romans 5:17), they have been counted "the filth and offsourcing of the earth," "of whom the world was not worthy." But the sin of their persecutors must be liquidated, even though the persecutors themselves will all eventually be forgiven. From this viewpoint, the "Time of Trouble such as was not since there was a nation," and which is now beginning gradually to be consummated, will be the squaring of God's accounts with the world, preparatory to handling the Kingdom over to Messiah for the blessing of all. As illustrative of this principle, note the lesson of Revelation 6:9-11: The cry is, "How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost Thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?" The message for all these martyrs of Jesus was, Walt a little season, the vengeance will come, but not until all of this class shall have experienced their share of "the sufferings of Christ." To these martyrs the suffering brought polishings of character, testings of faith, Divine approval and an increased glory on the spirit plane as members of the Bride of Christ—the blessings to be given to them in the First Resurrection—the chief Resurrection, referred to by our Lord in Revelation 20:6. Then will be accomplished the binding of Satan; and then Messiah's Kingdom, with all its blessed and uplifting influences, will bless the whole world with the long-promised "Restitution of all things which God hath spoken by the mouth of all the holy Prophets since the world began."—Acts 3:19-23. Modern Persacutions Differ. We do not say that the persecutions of the last members of the Body of Christ will be by literally cutting their tongues out, by literally burning them at the stake, by literally crucifying them or beheading them, as was done with some of the other members of the Body in the past. In our day there is a more refined process often used. Some are gibbeted by the pulpit, some are "roasted" in the public press, some have their tongues cut out in the sense that their words are misrepresented, and that they are denied'a hearing. And yet there are things in the Scriptures which seem to imply that there may be a literal assassination and destruction of God's faithful people in the end of this Age, as well as a figurative one. But the Lord's grace will be sufficient for them; and the more they shall suffer for His sake, for the Truth's sake, the greater will be their glory and station in the Kingdom. Who shall be punished for these crimes against the Saints of God? We answer, Babylon; and Babylon signifies what is today known as "the Christian world"—a very anomalous term; for the world has no identification with Christianity nor Christianity with the world. The so-called "Christendom" of our day corresponds exactly to the Jewry of Jesus' day. Then Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, were banded together with the Sadducees and the Herodians, the worldly and Infidel politicians. Their object was one, namely, the perpetuation of their own institution, regardless of God's arrangement. So here, the civilized world, misnaming itself "Christ's Kingdom," is intent upon the preservation of the great Babylon which it has constructed, and willing to do anything to avoid its foretold destruction. Hypocrisy the Greatest of All Sins. Taking into account the persecutions endured by God's saints throughout this Gospel Age, there must be a heavy account on the book of Justice to be settled. Saintly Catholics, saintly Presbyterians, saintly Baptists, saintly Methodists, saintly people In and out of all denominations have suffered; and Jesus' words still stand true — namely, that whosover would give to the least of His followers even a cup of cold water would not fall of reward, and that injury to even the least of these would be punished. Are we asked what are the special sins of our day? We reply that here, as in Jesus' day, hypocrisy is the greatest of all sins. There were thefts, murders, adulteries, and injustices of various kinds in Jesus' day; yet while denouncing all these in spirit, He practically ignored them all in His denunciations of the hypocrisy of the religious rulers of His time. We believe that His judgment of so-called "Christendom" today is the same. There was a time when the world ignorantly thought that the kings of earth were ruling as part of Christ's Kingdom. There was a time when men really believed that their ever lasting destiny was in the hands of the clergy, Protestant and Catholic, and that unless they had the good offices of these in baptism, marriage, funerals, &c., they would be eternally tormented; but that day has passed—a more enlightened day has come. Our Bible is better understood; the clergy are no longer deceived. They know that the word Sheol of the Old Testament and the word Hades of the New Testament represent the state or condition of death, into which the whole world goes—good and bad. They know that these words could not represent torture or fire in any sense of the word. They see God's character more clearly; they perceive that the kingdoms of this world are merely political institutions permitted for a time, waiting for the glorious epoch of Messiah's Kingdom to bring in the New Order of things. But notwithstanding this knowledge, the Divine character is still blasphemed. The kings of the earth, told during the "dark ages" that they were the sword of the Lord and servants of the Church, have not been undeceived. Hence the Czar of Russia, the Head of the Greek Church, believes he is working out a Divine destiny; the British under King George are equally convinced that they are working out a great destiny as God's Kingdom. The German Kalser is similarly deceived into thinking that he is the sword of the Almighty, as indicated in his reported proclamation to his army in Poland. These false doctrines of the "dark ages" are bearing a terrible fruitage in the present war. Similarly the teachings of eternal torment, misrepresenting and blaspheming God's character, are bearing an evil fruitage. Millions of people are being turned away from faith in a God of Love and from faith in the Bible as His Message by the most monstrous blasphemies of the "dark ages." I charge the responsibility of all this against the sects and creeds of Christendom. A great fraud, a great hypocrisy, you say? I answer, Yes; the most astounding the world has ever known. Two hundred thousand professed ministers of God and Christ are standing before the world today telling the legends of the Dark Ages and seeking to hinder the people from coming to a knowledge of the Truth, meanwhile receiving the people's money and reverence. Does not such hypocrisy, such blipheny against God, such deception of the people, such keeping of them in darkness, deserve a great punishment? What shall we do, do you ask? I answer: Be honest! Be true! Come out of Babylon. Stand free from all such slandering of the Almighty God and His gracious provisions. Stand for the Bible, the Truth, the God of Love and Wisdom, Justice and Power. "Come out from among them, and be ye separate, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you."

"As a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and as a sheep before its shearers is dumb, so He opened not His mouth."—Isaiah 53.7. ESUS was arrested, neither by Pilate's orders nor by Herod's no by their soldiers. His arrest was made at the instance of the high priest and his associates, who had concluded that Jesus' life and ministry were inimical to what they considered to be the best interests of Judaism. The murder of Jesus was plotted in advance. But the murderers sought some excuse for their conduct, as all murderers do; and, being politicians, they sought also an outward semblance of Justice, having regard for the opinions of others of tenderer consciences than themselves. Under the charge of the priests were men who served as policemen in the Temple and its precincts. These were the servants of the high priest; and, armed with maces, swords and lanterns, they followed Judas, who knew that on this particular night Jesus purposed to rendezvous with His disciples in the Garden of Gethsemane. They brought Jesus directly to the house of Annas, a superannuated high priest, whose son-in-law Calaphas officiated in his stead. Annas attempted an examination of Jesus, but met with little success, and turned Him over to Caiaphas, whose house was in the same courtyard. There, at probably three o'clock in the morning, the Sanbedrin had gathered. A man digging a hole in the ground. The plot for Jesus' death was deeply laid. The hours between deeply laid. The Jesus' Innocence Pictures between the time when Judas left the upper room and the time of this trial were spent in gathering the Sanhedrin from their various homes throughout the city. Conditions were considered desperate enough to justify the murder of Him who spake as never man spake—because His teaching was weakening the power of the religious leaders and of the traditions of the elders. The Sanhedrin was composed of seventy of the most influential Jews—an ecclesiastical court, whose voice properly had great influence with the Roman Governor Pilate, in whose hands alone lay the power of life or death. Calaphas not only filled the office of high priest, but in this particular case acted as a prosecuting attorney. While he got going the Samudrin, he had not fought to collect witnesses, who are needed to be bribed to give their testimony, then the witnesses were called to testimonies were self-contradictory; and the Jewish Law required that at least two witnesses must agree before and matter could be considered present. Finally two agreed that they had heard Jesus say that He could destroy the Temple and rebuild it in three days. They had probably misunderstood Jesus. However, their testimonies were too slight to make a basis for conviction. As a last resort, Calaphas attempted to get Jesus Himself to say something which he could construe to be blasphemy. To the various questions Jesus answered nothing; but finally Calaphas exclaimed, "I adjure Theo by the living God, tell me truly, Art Thou Messiah?" For Jesus to have kept quiet and not answer this question would have been to deny this truth and to fall to give proper witness to the Sanhedrin. He therefore avowed that Calaphas had expressed the truth in what he had implied. Calaphas leaped to his feet, anxious to grasp the opportunity of calling this statement blasphemy; but Jesus continued, "Hereafter shall you see the Son of Man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of Heaven." Affecting great horror, Calaphus dramatically tore his priestly garment, as implying that blasphemy; but Jesus continued, "Hereafter shall ye see the Son of Man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of Heaven." Affecting great horror, Calaphas dramatically tore his priestly garment, as implying that he had heard something awful indeed. Turning to the Sanhedrin he inquired, "What further need of witnesses have we? Ye yourselves have heard His blasphemy." They answered, "He is worthy of death." Apparently only two refrained from this vote—Nicodemus and Joseph of Arimathea, both of whom had learned to have great respect for Jesus. But what influence could they have? At the very most, they could claim that the proceedings of the Sanhedrin were illegal—that the Law forbade that they should sit to condemn anybody to death in the nighttime. Jesus was remanded to an adjoining room, while the Sanhedrin waited to take official action after daybreak. Meantime, in that waiting-hall, Jesus, condemned by the high priest as a blasphemer and malefactor, was subjected to various indignities by the attaches of the palace, who ignorantly supposed that whatever was done by the high priest must be right. Realizing that nothing was happening to Him contrary to the Father's will, Jesus permitted matters to take their course, without attempting to hinder the results. Who can doubt that His brilliant mind could quickly have brought such an argument that the Sanhedrin would not have dared to condemn Him.
