Washington Bee

IF IT'S NEWS, IT'S IN THE BEE, FOR THE BEE IS A NEWSPAPER. THE BEE WASHINGTON Washington's Best and Leading Negro Newspaper-That's THE BEE VOL. XXXV, NO. 36 WASHINGTON, I D. C., SATURDAY, JANUARY 30, 1915 AT ST. CYPRIANS A LARGE CROWD GREETS MR. DOYLE. AN EXCELLENT SPEECH SAINT CYPRIANS RALLY. A Large Crowd Present—Mr. John Dowle Speake. Saint Cyprian Branch of the Holy Name Society held a grand rally on Sunday evening at their beautiful hall in East Washington. There was a large crowd in attendance and some excellent music was rendered by the Holy Name Orchestra, connected with Saint Cyprian branch of the union, while the stage was prettily festooned with American flags and potted plants. Among the speakers were Mr. M. D. Schaefer, president of the Union of Baltimore and Washington. the Hon. Patrick Ford, the public printer, Mr. M. D. Driscoll of St. Dominic Church, Father Matthew, the pastor, and Mr. John Hadley Doyle, president of the Washington branch of the Holy Name, Mr. Doyle, who is one of the brightest young men in this city and a staunch friend of the colored people, and a true Catholic, said in part as follows: Brothers of the Holy Name Society of St. Cyprian Church; It is with the greatest pleasure I come here tonight to show myself and to say that which is nearest and dear to my heart, the uplifting of you men through the medium of the Holy Name Society, and yet brothers I always have a certain panicky feeling when I am before such an intelligent body of men, for in the brightest hours of my life no one has ever accused me of being able to get up and say things of interest, but as you know I am the unworthy successor of a distinguished gentlemen, and my duty to the Holy Name makes it imperative to respond to your call, hence my bravery in being here. It is most pleasing to be with you tonight and glean from your pastor, Father Mathews, that Saint Cyprians Church is the most flourishing of Colored Catholic Churches in America, its plant one of the richest; while the parochial school is the largest colored one in the United States and from the bright faces of the boys here present, your pastor's words are more than corroborated. It is wonderful to learn that in the school are over six hundred children, which is a great work on your part for a Christian education for offsprings. You will no doubt, be glad to learn that the great Holy Name parade will take place in Washington next October, and I expect to see St. Cyprian better represented in that demonstration than at that former time, when you know it was the largest single organization in line. Right here I want to relate my personal experience of that procession, especially as it concerns your organization in a great degree. Many of the delegations had passed, when along came yours, marching in as good as any alignment, better than a great many I ever saw in a civic organization. While watching you with admiration, I was joined by one of your prominent citizens and editor of the oldest colored newspapers, Mr. Calvin Chase. We had been boys together and though we drifted apart, always maintained a deep friendship for each other that exists to this day—Chase watched it for quite a while and there was a light in his eye of admiration, and turning said,—"John, I am a Protestant but I am proud of you Catholics, for my faith would not countenance such an equality of proceedings as this. It is glorious, its sublime and you Catholics are to be congratulated." So you see what one of your own race thought of your great showing. It is such things as this that causes the world to sit up and take notice of the Catholic Church of which you as individuals are part and parcel of, and as Holy Name Men are fortifying the lessons the meek and humble Jesus gave in his famous Sermon on the Mount. Whenever you Holy Name Men need words of cheer just open up your Bibles and read the beautiful fifth chapter of Matthew and you will take in the very essence of that which Jesus meant, and what the Saintly Dominic understood when he organized and put in motion the Holy Name Society. My brothers there is nothing so glorious in our country's history than the rapid strides your race has made in all pursuits of life, and it has all come about by education that you have sought often times against great odds. To my mind your career is somewhat similar in many respects to that grand race of people who have made this country resound with their praise, where at one time they were as much hated, as you people were. I refer to the Irish Catholles, who forced by the bitter and unjust laws of that bitter and tyrannical English government were compelled in 1840 to flee Ireland and seek shelter in this free land of ours. They were the Non-Conformists so called, because they would not give up their religion and swear allegiance to the Church of England. They were worse than slaves, were deprived of any kind of education, but thank God they never forgot God and clung to the faith. They were ignorant, aye worse than when the shackles were broken from you people, and they made a bad rec M. B. Republican and in charge of the only colored man he appointed was a Police Department. Never appointed Negro patrol driver. Never appointed a colored man on the force and the a Negro on the force. ord for themselves when they came into our land, but the soothing effects of education slowly got in its work and today America would be a sorry government if it did not have in it the loyal patriotic sons of Ireland as its best citizens. So too your race emerging from all curses—slavery has gradually drunk in the beautiful effect of book imbibing, and today along the breath and width of our expansive country, the colored boy and girl is in competition with those of the white skin. I believe with Booker Washington—do not worry about segregation but educate yourselves and your children and the world will come back and pay homage. Brothers thank God—there is no such a thing in Heaven as segregation, and the one alive Christian Church, our Catholic Church which follows the laws of God, and walks in the footsteps of Jesus—Knows no segregation in its religious tech-ings. That is but one new glory of our faith, and over in my section, its a beautiful sight to see the one hundred and fifty colored men of our Holy Name Society, of which I am president, standing elbow to elbow, as they approach the sacred altar to receive the nourishment of the Body and Blood of Christ. There is no segregation in the Catholic Church, for its claim of being Universal shows itself in this respect best of all. So I say educate your minds and keep your minds, temperate in all things, and shun as much as possible the grog shop—Listen to this and its another diadem in the crown of colored education. "Everbodys' Magazine one of the leading monthly publications offered a prize of $500 recently for the best article on Prohibition and think of it there were 9000 competitors. The winner was Isaac Fisher, editor of the "Negro Farmer" published at Tuskegee Institute, and among those our colored friend distanced was Congressman Hobson of Alabama. Education will wipe out the prejudices of your opponents in the fight for life, and it will also wipe away many of the disgraceful proceedings in various parts of our land in which some of the lawless have been guilty. Again I quote one of your leading colored editors when I say that in those dark and gruesome lynchings that have blotched our country', honor—not one case is recorded where the black man who was lynched, or any of the perpetrators who were arrested for the crime of lynching, were members of our dear old Catholic faith. You men are attracting attention by your stand for morality and the honor due the Holy Name, and the best testimony of that is the fact that a colored minister over my way told me he had to yield the palm to the Colored Catholic men when they came to measure up the standard of his race. So you see brothers what it means to your faith when in the strength of that manhood you possess you are proud to be classed as earnest God fearing members of the Holy Name. May God endow you with renewed courage to march onward as Christian Soldiers. So brothers this is the message I would bring to you tonight. Take the teaching of the Holy Name down into your homes, and make that place, next to your church, the haven of peace and joy. Give to your pastor and your spiritual director obedience, support your officers in elevating your organization, be prompt at your monthly communions and never miss your meetings, and then you will realize the beautiful reality of a Holy Name man.

Sunday was a high day at Metro- politan Baptist Church, R street between Thirteenth and Twelfth streets N. W., of which Rev. M. W. D. Nörman, D. D., is pastor. The Sunday School was largely attended and in the morning the church was filled to its utmost capacity and the pastor breached, using as his text, Genesis XV 1 subject, "Our Sheild and Reward." The sermon was considered [Name of the man depicted] Democratic Commissioner and thecolored men on the force and whenman who gave the Negro a splendid ever there was a vacancy on the force deal in the police department.

Compare his record on the Negro with that of the Republican, Mr. Johnston. one of the best preached by the pastor in the history of his pastorate of this church. He spoke of faith being essential in life; saying that men who have done anything much in the world have had faith; Moses, Joshua, Glideon, Luther, Melanothon and other great men were actuated by faith in God for the cause which they represented. He proceeded to discuss the subject under the following heads; (1) The necessity of the sheed, (2) Christian encouragement; (3) The gracious promise given, from which verse he drew special lessons for the benefit of the new members of the church. Following the sermon the pastor baptized at the night service and fellow-shipped 107 new members, as the result of the revival which is now in progress. The congregation was large at both services and the day enjoyed immensely. PLEADS FOR EQUAL RIGHTS FOR NEGRO. Dr. J. E. Spingarn, of National Association for Advancement of Colored People. Speaker.-Touches Many Problems.-Tell Audience at Corinthian Baptist Church Vital Evidences of Racial Inequality. Special to The Bee. Des Moines, Ia., Jan. 21.-Dr. J. E. Spingarn of New York City brought last night to 800 colored men and women and a sprinkling of white persons, the latter Including Governor Clarke, Attorney General Cosson, Casper Schenk and Harvey Ingham, a call for renewed courage in the struggle of the black race for politi- cal and economic equality and pleading for recognition by the white race of the Negro's rights. The meeting was held at the Corinthian Baptist church. Dr. Spingarn, who is a white man, the chairman of the board of directions of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, laid chief stress on the three most vital and unjust evidences of racial inequality, as he termed them, disfranchisement, anti-intermarriage and segregation propaganda, and laws. Itterring to the amendment to the immigration bill excluding the black race, he said: "That would have meant that a Negro doctor or a lawyer, or an educator, born and raised in this country, could not have crossed the suspension bridge at Niagara into Canada and then returned to his native land." Intermarriage Problem. The amendment was lost, the speaker pointed out, chiefly, if not entirely through the efforts of the Washington branch of the N. A. A. C. P., working through an awakened and united body of organized colored men and women. The speaker vigorously attacked the phase of the race question which has inspired the anti-intermarriage agitation, although admitting the difficulty of presenting the subject without danger of offense. The subject has timely significance in the view of the bill which has been a crime for black and white persons to marry. "There is no legal intermarriage between the colored people and the white people now," he said. "Not one colored person out of a million wants to marry a white person." Here the speaker was interrupted by the biggest demonstration of approval with which his words had yet been greeted. "Why are they so anxious to stop legal marriages?" he continued. "The reason is sinfully this: To save white men from the consequences of any wrong they may do colored women." Attacks Segregation Propaganda. "There are some of us white men, men who have families, who do not intend to see without protest that colored girls receive less protection than our wives and daughters." The subject of segregation was forcibly handled by the speaker. He protested against herding the black race, the weaker race, within proscribed limits, where vice, disease and crime would be generated. Under this humiliation with the incentive for struggle removed the progress the race has achieved through bitter struggle would cease and degeneration would follow, continued Mr. Spingarn. Difranchissement, anti-Intermarriage and segregation must be fought by agitation and political power, declared the speaker, in summing up. Attorney S. Joe Brown introduced Governor Clarke, who introduced Dr. Spingarn. Mr. Brown declared emphatically that the governor had done more for the progress of the colored race than any governor Iowa has ever had. The governor paid a tribute to the achievements of the colored race, and prophesied a time when every man would have equal opportunity with every other man. Preceding the main address and following the invocation, delivered by the Rev. M. W. Alexander, Miss Milred Griffin, pianist, and the Metropolitan octette, entertained with musical selections. The women of the audience served lunch later in the evening. UNREST IN THE SCHOOLS Are The Worthy and Deserving Being Treated Fairly? It would seem that the present unrest in the public schools should be looked into by the school authorities. The question is asked by the teachers and their friends why it is there is so much unrest among the Colored teachers and so much opposition to the present Colored school administration. The question of unfairness seems to be the prevailing complaint. Teachers who have been marked E for the last ten and fifteen years, who have been successful, and when the time comes for a promotion many of them are transferred to some other division. In such cases they are placed at the bottom of the E line of promotion. There are several very successful teachers in the schools who have been transferred to different divisions at those times at many different schools. The air is full of complaints. Teachers have been told, just about the time they were about to petition Dr. Thurston, how they could obtain a promotion to the 5th grade. This was merely a subterfuge. If the teacher complains they get the ill will of the toterting Negro administration. From the investigation that The Bee has made among the teachers it has ascertained that Dr. Montgomery and Major James T. Walker stand at the head of the list in popularity with the teachers. Many have said to The Bee that they feel contented and safe under these Supervisors. If this is the feeling in the Colored schools why does such unrest continue to be tolerated. The colored teachers either must appeal to Congress and ask for a change or appeal to the people. It is the intention of The Bee to submit the teachers' complaint to the Judges who appoint the Board of Education and ask for the appointment of men who will remedy the evil. A Congressional investigation of the Merrit, Mater, the Hershaw, and a few other cases will show the deplorable administrative condition in the schools. It is in the power of Superintendent Thurston to stop a Congressional Investigation. It was Dr. Thurston who saved Miss Merritt from decapitation and the facts presented to her by Attorney Cobb. The unwritten history of the Merrit and Mater cases is yet to be published. COLORED LAWYERS. Many Are Successful and Doing Well. It is a pleasure to see how successful the colored lawyers are and the progress they are making along all lines in their profession. The Bee for the past week has noticed the unfortunate trials of two of the best-known lawyers at the bar which is to be regretted. The colored lawyer is to be congratulated because what few that have been unfortunate were not wilful acts on their part. It is always best to be honest with your clients. Never say that you can do a thing if you know that it is an impossibility. The Bee has noticed with admiration the growing tendency on the part of the colored people to employ their own professional men. There is not so much jubilation among certain colored lawyers now. When the new judge came upon the bench, you would have thought a Daniel had come to judgment. But they are singing another song today. Their Daniel is singing another song to the disciples of Lord Blackstone. The Bee said at the time that it didn't believe in giving up the old for the new. Among many who are successful and The Bee will begin with a few this week, to continue next week. There are many good colored lawyers who have the confidence of a large clientage, namely: Attorney Fountain Peyton, while he may have his peculiarities, he is one of the most successful civil and criminal lawyers at the bar. He has been practicing for a number of years and has the respect and confidence of the bar and bench. Mr. Peyton is a profound reasoner. He is a good cross examiner and a man who reads a great deal. He is honest and straightforward. He has a beautiful home and a great deal of property, which he accumulated from the practice of his profession. He has not depended on other people. He has no brass bands or horns to notify the world that Lawyer Peyton is coming, look out for him. His merits are in his ability to do. CONGRESSMAN MADDEN TO SPEAK. The Hon. Martin B. Madden of Illinois will deliver an address before the Bethel Literary and Historical Association on Tuesday evening, February 2d, 1915, at eight o'clock, at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, M street between Fifteenth and Sixteenth streets N. W. The public is cordially invited. The speaker was the only Congressman to lift his voice against the Infamous Miscegenation bill which recently passed the House. of Representatives. Come out and hear the public man who was unafraid of the Southern taunt. "Do you want your daughter to marry a Negro?" Don't fall to attend the second concert of the Washington Concert Orchestra at the Howard Theatre, Saturday night, February 6. PUBLIC MEN AND THINGS (By the Sage of the Potomac.) One of those very unfortunate things it is interesting to see as long as it happened anyway, occurred during the holidays, but has just percolated through the crust of secrecy. I got on to it by mere accident. The incident occurred at one of the "swell" dances. One chic and vivacious lady present wore an unusually chic gown, which while it may have been considered a trifle extreme in the matter of decolletage by some of the prudish society leaders and fourfushers who are only extremely modest and prudish when they are out in public, none the less, it was declared to be a most becoming gown. Right down in the center of this lady's bosom, just half way between her beautiful throat and wasp-like waist line, she wore a beauty spot. Tincture of arnica was its color scheme. It set off the incomparable whiteness of her skin to perfection, and gave to her beautiful shoulders and two-thirds exposed bust a most attractive delight, which caused many of the ladies, whose busts were not quite so pronounced, to turn green with envy, and caused some of the gentlemen to rubberneck often. One gentleman, while dancing with her, and he is a good old soul, on catching sight of this beauty spot which Miss Spotless White wore, reached the conclusion it must be some obnoxious insect, possibly a very poisonous one, which unknown to Miss Spotless White had settled upon her heaving bosom, and inserted its tendrils into her velvet skin. Well, to be plain—he told it afterwards—he thought it was one of those chinches that you frequently encounter at a colored hotel. He didn't have the nerve to tell her, because it would startle her so, and because it would embarrass her so, he thought. He ruminated in his mind just what to do. Finally a brilliant idea shot athwart his festive brain, and he invited her, after that dance, to stroll with him over to the far end corner of the hall for a quiet little tete-tete. She consented. Why shouldn't she? He was a dashing fellow, and one of those "just the dearest dancers," all the girls like to hesitate, tango and fox trot with. When he got her seated, in the afore-said far end corner of the hall, he glued his peepers on that beauty spot. Then, while in earnest conversation, he deftly permitted one arm to drop over the back of her chair, snooked up closer to her, and then gently, as if brushing a speck from her white, heaving bust, he, with his other hand, touched that portion of her bosom the decolletage exposed in an effort to removed that supposed "chinch." But she thought he had ulterior purposes, and "smack" her little gloved hands collided with his jaw. She immediately got up and abruptly left him. Friends observed she was red—that is, her cheeks were unusually red, and they observed that he did not dance with her again that evening, but nothing was said of it, nothing was thought of it. She told her best friend that Mr. ____ had insulted her, had tried to—Oh horrors, interfere with her decolletage expose. Her best friend invited Mr. ____ down stairs for satisfaction. He went. When unattributed for an attempt—Oh horrors, to interfere with Miss Spotless White's decolletage, the accused explained. The explanation was not satisfactory, but the best friend agreed to go back in the observation for himself—he had not observed it before? He went, he saw, and being familiar enough with Miss Spotless White to talk plain instead of parables, he told her that Mr. ____ had simply took that beauty spot, located in such a suggestive and attractive place of her anatomy for a "chinch" bug, and had simply tried to remove it without exciting attention. The whole incident was finally a closed book, and all agreed to say nothing further about it. But some women just can't keep a secret, and lots of men in Washington will forget they took a degree of secrecy. Now the moral of this is, no matter how beautiful your throat and shoulders are; no matter how plump, white, and heavingly beautiful your bust is, be careful about wearing gowns whose decolletage stretches to the waist line. But if you must, just leave off any beauty spots, of a tincture of arnica color, from the center of your palpitating, wholly exposed, white bosom—or high brown bosom, either. Well sir, my friend Tom Jones is sure one more barecat. I can't vouch for this, because I got it out of a barber shop, and barber shop talk don't always go for the kind of truth Billy Sunday demands. But to the story. I got it that a highflaun index met Tom the other day, or the other week. I don't know which, and suggested that a loan of a five spot would mightily accommodate him. Immediately, or sooner than before, it is reported Tom pulled out his roll—great roll of greenbacks—and reaching in the center, as he thought, pulled out a fiver and handed it to the negotiator for a loan. The negotiator thanked him profusely, and turned and left, and down in his trousers, called his carriage—hired carriage—jauntily stepped up in and was whirled away to his home. That evening, counting his money as he usually does before he puts it under his pillow when he retires, he missed a $500 bill. From a Jones brown complexion he turned white. His hair stood up, although it had just been cut that day, like the quills on the fretted porcupine. "My God, I've been robbed," he yelled. He counted it over and over—his roll, but still the $500 was missing. Finally it dawned upon him that he must have given that five hundred dollar bill to the indigent borrower, mistaking it for a fiver. His wife, so the report runs, told him to call the 5th Police station and tell them to send an officer to the home of the borrower immediately to get the balance—$495. But Tom was game. He's a fellow that can stand his own mistakes without wincing, so he, very calmly replied: "No, it was my mistake, not his, so let him keep the chance." And with that Tom Jones returned to bed and slept the sleep of the just. As I said beforehand, and in the beginning, I got this story out of a barber shop, and so therefore don't vouch for it. However, it sounds like Tom Jones, cause he is just that liberal. Now don't everybody try to borrow $5 from him, after reading this thinking he will make another mistake and hand out $500 instead. He will never make that mistake again, if he ever made it, in a thousand years. It is funny what changes take place in Washington. Two, three and four years ago the Black Cabinet was the big show, the whole cheese around here, and if you didn't wear the B. T. W. badge you was just the same as in Tampaco at the same time Villa was there. The cabinet gets scattered, the strongest, most vlrle fellows Doc. B. T. had in the cabinet to guard his interests, pulled out for their respective abodes, one East, and one West. Then the N. A. A. C. P. got a wiggle on itself—got very busy, and now if you aint a member of the N. A. A. C. P. you are just the same as a lily at the North pole. I've agreed with the N. A. A. C. P. in many things, and I can't help but admitting that the Black Cabinet, or at least some of them, did some swell things for this ballawick, but I do hate to hear the N. A. A. C. P. people boasting all the time about what "we did." Now the b. c. wasn't a boasting triumverate, quartette, sextet or quintet, whatever you care to call it. It boosted and helped and boosted, but talked mighty little about itself. Of course there were some members in the b. c. who wasn't much help to nobody but the game, nevertheless. Since the b. c. disintegrated, there aint been no one around this baillwick of general information to boldly fly the B. T. W. colors. But when will the N. A. A. C. P. and the B. T. W. people get together? The N. A. A. C. P. is growing and spreading like a greenbay tree, in these parts and in the North, and hitting the trail down South, while the B. T. W. people, especially around here, seem to be in a sort of comotose state. They just aint got no organization here, and nobody with enough selfishness hanging about their lothes to shout for the Tukegee Wizard. This condition is just to the liking of the anti-Washington crowd who use to cuss and squeal, when Bill Lewis and Ralph Tyler were here to always see that Booker never got the worst of it. Dr. Booker ought to drop off in Washington, send out an invitation for his old allies to meet him here, including those who are here moribund, and over a quiet littleinner, discuss ways and means—discuss fortifications. ```markdown ``` NATIONAL HEALTH WEEK. Great National Health Week to be Observed From March 21 to 27. 1915. Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, January 16, 1915.—After considering the whole matter carefully, I am authorized by the Executive Committee of the National Negro Business League to invite the following organizations, as well as others to be named later, to unite with the League in observing a National Health Week: Daily and weekly newspapers. Health journals. The National Medical Association. The National Association of Graduate Nurses. The National Association of Colored Women's Clubs. The National League on Urban Conditions among Negroes. ) The National Association of Teachers in Colored Schools. The National Negro Press Association. The Bishops and other officers of Colored Religious Denominations. State Medical Associations. Annual Church conferences and associations. Secret society organizations. Colored insurance companies. Farmers conferences. Farmers' Improvement societies. Churches, schools and other local organizations State health officers. In Alabama, Louisiana, North Carolina, and other states special Health Care at one time of another been preserved. For some years the Virnla Organization Society, under the leadership of Major R. R. Moton, has preserved a Health or Clean Up Week. Is thought to be well to unite all these efforts into a national movement and join this movement onto the Virnla effort. It is thought that the race will welcome this opportunity to unite all these efforts in one great National Health Movement, and thus gain the benefit of the momentum and the enthusiasm that will come from a great united Health Movement. Without health and until we reduce our high death rate it will be impossible for us to have permanent success in business, in property getting and in acquiring education or to show other evidences of progress. Without health and long life all else fails. The following facts will illustrate something of the need and importance of this health movement: 450,000 Negroes in the South alone are seriously ill all the time; the annual cost of sickness of these 450,000 Negroes is $75,000,000. 112,000 Negro workers in the South ual loss in earings $45,000,000; 4 er cent of annual deaths among Negroes are preventable. 225,000 Negroes in the South alone annually; 100,000 of these deaths can be prevented. The annual funeral expenses of Negroes in the South alone amount to 15,000,000; $6,500,000 of this amount could be saved. Sickness and death cost Negroes of the South alone $100,000,000 annually 50,000,000 of this amount could be saved. We must reduce our high death rate ethrone disease and enthrone health and long life. We may differ on other subjects, but there is no room for difference here. Let us make a strongong, united pull together. Other facts will appear in the weekly press and in circulars from week to week, and information will be gladly furnished. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. President National Negro Business League. ARTILLERY MAIN BATTLE FACTOR Has Assumed New Importance In the Present War. RAIN HALTS THE FIGHTING. Both Sides Face Difficult Problems In Getting Water Out of the Trenches. Germans Collecting All the Brass They Can Find to Get the Copper Out of It For Fuses. London.—An account by the "eyewitness" of the British headquarters staff at the front mentions the continued and exceptionally heavy rainfall in the fighting zone. Aviators, the account says, report that the Scheldt as well as the Lys has overflowed and is flooding large districts. The condition of the trenches is shown in the following extract from the statement: "The Germans in some places have attempted to pump the water from their trenches into ours, but owing to A GERMAN SOLDIER WRITING DIARY ON BATTLEFIELD. the flat ground they have been singularly unsuccessful. The problem of how to get rid of the water is engaging both sides. The muddy water is difficult to pump out, but this difficulty is being overcome, although continual balling and pumping are required." The account relates some minor lights and then makes the following references to the situation of the enemy: "The Germans are reported to be collecting all the brass they can find, no doubt for the purpose of racing the copper for fires. The towns and villages behind the front are systematically ransacked and everything that contains copper, from church bells to household utensils of all kinds, has been seized." The following reference is made to artillery. "The experiences of this war have caused many profound modifications of theories previously held, but no factor, perhaps, was so underestimated as the effect of high explosive projectiles fired from guns and howitzers. At the opening of the war the allies were inferior to the enemy in this respect. This inferiority has since been made good, and the Germans are now experiencing to a far greater extent than before the devastating effect of these missiles. "The successes of the Japanese at Port Arthur gave an inkling of the potentialities of the heavy howitzer against permanent, fortifications, but the decisive effect of high explosives against troops in the field as well as against field intrenchments has come as a complete surprise." "Artillery has assumed an importance greater probably than it ever before possessed and certainly greater than it has known since the time of Napoleon. For the last hundred years, as used against troops, field artillery generally has been depended upon to create a moral effect rather than great material result. It has been reserved for this war to prove it to be the chief agent in destroying the enemy's power of resistance." "It is extremely hard to conceal the position of trenches from an aerial observer, and once their position is notified to the guns and the range is obtained it is not long before the whole length of trenches will be blown in. Enfangements, trous de loop and every form of obstacle, however ingenious, are swept away. "That the moral effect is very great is shown by the written and verbal evidence of pil-omers. "The allies' artillery is gradually assuming superiority over the German, a factor of great importance in the prosecution of our general offensive." Bean Famine In Boston. Boston.

Virginia is one of he best apple growing states in the union. The apples grown there are the Albemarle Pippin, the Astrakan, the Gravenstein and the Winesaps grown in the Blue Ridge belt.

An old fable says that Truth and Falshood went in bathing together. Falshood came out of the water first, and dressed herself in Truth's garments. Truth, unwilling to put on Falsehood's clothes, went naked. Hence, "It is the naked truth." The beauty about a 'snowstorm is that it is white. It would be awful if it were 'blue, or brown or black.

What He Said on National Probibition. New Haven, Conn. (Special News Dispatch). "Ex-President Taft, whose recent expression of opposition to national prohibition before the Boston Bar Association aroused much comment, has taken occasion to discuss the matter more fully in a letter which he has written to Mrs. Tilton, of Cambridge, lass. While Mr. Taft states that he has not accurately quoted in his speech before the Bar Association, he expresses sharp criticism of prohibition laws. His letter follows." Dear Mrs. Tilton: What I said in respect to National prohibition was misunderstood and not correctly reported. The subject of my remarks was, "The Evil of Multi-licity of Laws." I called attention to the fact that there had been passed by congress and State Legislatures 65,000 laws in the last four years, and that such a mass of legislation was an evil burdensome proportions, as we were rapidly finding out. This excess of legislation I attributed to two gauges. The first was the enormous belief that any reform could be accomplished merely by legislation and the second was that the legislators were prone to enact laws, not because they believed their enforcement would any good or because they had their enforcement in mind, but only because their votes would profit them politically. Due to this last cause, whenever a part of the electorate in a Congressional District, not a majority, but supposed to hold the balance of power, threatened to plump their votes for or against a Congressional candidate on a particular issue, and without regard to their usual party affiliation, they were able to frighten legislators into the legislation which they, as a minority group, demanded. In this wise the amendment for National prohibition secured a majority of the members of the House of Representatives. Many members voted for it who were not really in favor of it, nor did a majority of their constituents demand it. Such members voted for it merely to secure the approval and support of a comparatively small element in the electorate whose votes they feared might defeat them if they voted their own convictions. I then pointed out the eyils of an amendment to the Constitution of the character proposed. I said that it would destroy the balance of power between the central government and the state government: that it was a direct flow at local self-government, and at he integrity of our Federal system which demanded on preserving the control by the states of parochial and local matters; that the regulation or prohibition of the lour traffic was essentially a local matter, because opinions with reference to how it should be treated varied with every community. Secondly, it was dangerous because the exercise of jurisdiction to prohibit the liquor traffic would call for a horde of Federal officials in addition to the hundreds of thousands now representing the United States Government, and would give to an unscrupulous manipulator in National politics, with Federal authority, a power that would be dangerous to the republic whenever candidates were to be selected by his party, or whenever an election was to be had. I said that the lack of sincerity for the amendment by a majority of the House, when it required two-thirds to pass, was shown by the fact that those who voted for the amendment had not attempted to exercise all the Federal authority there now was within the present Constitution. I pointed out that this majority could pass a law which would be valid, under the present Constitutional division of powers between the Federal Government and the States, declaring that intoxicating liquor should not be a legitimate subject of commerce between the States, or between this country and foreign nations. In that way Congress could hedge each state about and permit it to regulate within its own borders the manufacture, sale or use of intoxicating liquor without the receipt of liquor from* the outside. I vetoed the Webb law making illegal the transportation of liquor into states which forbade its manufacture Annual Holiday ANNOUNCEMENT Manufacturing Jeweler and Dealer in Catholic Supplies 725 Seventh Street N.W., between G. and H.

In my remarks I said also that this appeal to Congress for an amendment to the Constitution by the people of the states where prohibition laws were now in force, was a humiliating confession of the ineffectiveness of those laws in such states in their local communities in which a majority of the people do not sympatize with the officers of the law in enforcing them.

To pass laws forbidding the manufacture and sale of a liquor and then have large parts of a state where liquor is sold freely and in defiance of the law is a demoralization of all law that is most detrimental to the interest of the whole community. These shortly stated are my views with respect to the prohibition question. Of course they could be elaborated, but I think I have answered your queries as to my position, and I hope I have corrected the erroneous impression that was given by the report of my remarks at the Bar Association. Sincerely yours, WM H TAFT GIDEON'S BRAVE BAND OF THREE HUNDRED Judges 7:1-8, 16-23—Jan. 24. A Little Army Too Large—"Thine Be the Glory"—Cowards Off For Home. Cowards Spring—Still Too Many. Why the Lappers Were Chosen—"Do as I Do"—Pitcher, Lamp, Trumpet, Jehovah and Gideon—The Victory. The Incident a Parable—Its Meaning. "Not, by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit, saath Jehovah of Hosts."—Zeck. i.s. UR last Study showed us Gideon, encouraged by the Lord's promise of victory, sending tribes in Israel. Today's Study shows us the resultant army of 32,000 men with Gideon at the foot of Mount Gilboa, at Harod Spring—a little lake draining off to the Jordan. Across the lake were the Midianites, numbering about 125,000. An invading host, they had long been pillaging the Israelites unmolested; but now, learning that Gideon's army was gathering, they assembled to crush it. Although Gideon's army numbered but one to four of the enemy, yet the but one to four of Lord directed him that it was too large, and that there would be danger that the victory might not be appreciated as from the Lord, but be thought to indicate the dexterity of Israel's warriors. Accordingly, by 'Divine direction. Gideon told his army of 32,000 that it was too large, and that there would be danger that the victory might not be appreciated as from the Lord, but be thought to indicate the dexterity of Israel's warriors. Accordingly, by Divine direction, Gideon told his army of 32,000 that whoever was fearful and preferred to return home might do so. The name of the spring, Harod, signifies coward; it has been assumed that it was given because of the 32,000 who went home. But the Lord said, There are yet too many. Cause the host to go down to the spring to drink; and discern between those who kneel and put their mouths into the water, and those who lap from their hands as a dog. There were 300 of this latter class; and these the Lord declared to be the proper ones to win the victory. The remaining 9.700, however, would later on join them in the pursuit. This act of lapping water seems to signify alertness and obedience. An ox drinks by putting his mouth into the water, and when thirsty gives his entire attention to the sucking of the water, ignoring his master's commands and even the rod on his flanks. But the dog, while lapping the water, is all alert, watching in every direction and ready to quit the water at once in obedience to duty. The Victory at Armageddon. In olden times armies evidently did not keep so strict a watch as do modern armies. In the darkness of night Glideon and a trusted companion penetrated amongst the tents of the Midianites. Listening, they heard one relate his dream of how a barley loaf rolled down a hill and did havoc. Another offered the interpretation that this was Glideon and his small army, which was likely to be their undoing. The incident shows that the Midianites were apprehensive. Glideon's faith was strengthened by this little experience, which the Lord permitted. About midnight was the time appointed for Gideon's attack. The Three Hundred were divided into three companies, and spread out over considerable space near the Midianites. In addition to their usual armor, each man had in his left hand an earthen ware pitcher containing a lamp and in his right a ram's horn trumpet. Their instructions were that those immediately with Gideon should do as he did; and that the others, hearing, should imitate, breaking their pitchers, shouting "Jehovah and Gideon," and blowing the rams' horns. Waking out of sleep, the Midlanites, beholding the flashing lights, hearing the clash like the sound of armor, hearing the shouts and the trumpets, imagined themselves surrounded by a great host, and fled. They fought each other, mistaking each other for foes Gideon and his Three Hundred, assisted by the remaining 9,700, pursued and were soon in the fight. The victory was a great one. The Lord was recognized as the Deliverer; and Gideon. His servant, was honored accordingly Gideon's call resembles the Gospel Call for volunteers on the side of right against wrong, truth against error. Many in the world respond, purposing to become soldiers of Christ, but he fore they are fully accepted. Jesus calls. Sit down and count the cost. The sight of the enemy, the fear of death, cause them to turn back. These cowards will not share in the victory. ```markdown ``` Then comes the second test. One class of the Lord's people, like the faithful dog, put obedience to the Master's will first. Another class heed less His voice, and even the rod; and being less alert to His service, they are less used of Him. Compared to the world, the most alert ones are very few. These are the ones willing to break the earthen vessel—to use their present earthly lives in the Lord's service—that the Cause of Truth may have a victory. Doubtless we are near the time when the great victory, antity of Glideon's, will be accomplished, when the hosts of sin will fall upon one another for their mutual destruction. The present war is the beginning of this. JamesH Winslow R'AD WEBB'S BIBLICAL WORKS OF THE BLACK MAN'S PART IN THE BIBLE. Jesus was a Black Man (or Negro) by blood. Webb's book and picture show it and prove it by the Bible. A picture 12x18 of Jesus with wooly hair and his holy angels at his second coming.

Now that the chain of evidence presented by Mr. Webb seems so complete, it is strange that none of the delvers in the Biblical records have advanced the proposition before.

Is Mr. Thurston lost for the proper material to place at the head of the Colored schools? This Unrest condition of the Colored schools certainly places the Col- ored teachers in an embarrassed situation. This transfer of teach- ers from one division to another without an apparent cause, thus preventing that teacher from ob- taining a promotion in the divis- ion from which she or he may be recently transferred is one of the new stunts in the Colored public schools. It is the sincere hope of The Bee, in behalf of worthy teachers, that Superintendent Thurston scrutinize every trans- fer that is recommended. The Bee has in mind, at this time, a teacher who has E marked in all studies and if she had not been trafisferred to some new division she .would be en- titled to g certain promotion that ocenrred. in the division from which she was transferred. This teacher has been in at least 10 Inildings and four divisions. The Bee is of the opinoion that it would be a good ‘policy to place the Colored schools under one Superintendent. If that is done The Bee is confident that the Col- ored teachers would be given fair and just consideration. This will either have to be done or an im- mediate change made in the pres- ent head of the Colored schools. Mr. Thurston will in a few days he presented with a monster peti- tion, and he will also have a public expression from the people on the school situation. There is plenty ef good timber from which Mr. Thurston may make a_ selection, namely : Prof. Montgomery, who has the confidence and the respect of the teachers and the people. When- ever he efiters any publie function given by the teachers he. receives an ovation, which is an evidence of his popularity and the confidence the teachers have’ in him. Prof. ‘Thomas M. Gregory, a young man man of ability and refinement. Dr. Thurston could not select a better man. © «Prof. Nelson -E. Weatherless, tencher of physies in the High School. This teacher would not only make an ideal Superintend. ent, but he is able to bring the schools up toa higher standard. Prof. H. M. Brown, a native of this city, and no doubt one of the greatest educators in the race, Te has traveled extensively, be. sides he is thoroughly aud highly edueated. “He is also a man of " exeeutive ability, Not only is he qualified for assistant’ Superinten dent, but he has made a “thorough study of vacation work.

Will Mr. Thurston investi gate the complaints of these teach ers who are entitled to promotion and have been transferred t other divisions? Have the Col ored teachers no rights that ‘nius' be respected? The Bee appeals to the Superintendent, Mr. Thurston, in behalf of the Colored teachers and if no noti¢e is taken of their unjust treatment, their remedy is in Congress. A change in the ex- coutive head is needed. ~ DON'T BLAME ALL. Perhaps there are a few Colored people in this city who would like very much to hide their identity with their race. They are but few, however. The Colored man or woman who is ashamed to associ- ate with his or her awn people come from inferior births. .This is the character of people who gen- rally seek social leadership among their own people when they fail to be recognized in white society. The masses of Colored people are satisfied with their own race and never seek social reeognition in the white race, ‘There are a few of this class in our Colored schools. When a man or woman of this elass is too white to be black and too black to be white, a lily white society is formed, which is ¢har- acterized lily whites within the Colored race. This class will not go far enough away from the race to lose soeial recognition in. the Colored raee. They class them- selves the cream of society. Now, if any one would take the time to investigate, something would be esposed that would” not be so agreeable to them. They remain colored long enough to obtain a School or some other employment by virtue of being Colored and veil themselves at night and prom- enade the streets. ; re If you will take ‘the genuine white man or woman yon will see pure blood. The rearing of this class is above reproach. . The high elass white man or woman will not object sitting in a street car along- side of a refined and respectably dressed Colored person. Blue vein southerners, no mat- ter how poor he may be, never al- low the color of a man’s skin to distrust him. The Southern Con- gressman who voted against the re- cent Immigration bill with that objectionable clause relating to the Negro is of the‘pure blood. He knew that no inferior blood could contaminate his blood. — Pure blood wil not mix with impure blood. It is impgysible to have a distinet socicty among Colored people. The time has not come. There have been attempts made in that ‘direction and whenever such racial diserimination shows itself that moment it dies. Every lily white organization that has sprung up in this city doesn’t exist very long. The mem- hers of such a society are ostra- cised’ and disearded. This is an ancient propaganda. [t is in the hones of a few. You will find this class of people secking white estab: lishments to patronize. They wil not be seen in a drug store, 2 shoc store or any other place of busi ness conducted and controlled by Colored people. . The time will soon come when it will be advisable to. be identified with the colored race. | ‘The Negro is the only nationali. ‘ty that is ashamed of: his race’s ee ity THE NEW COMMISSIONER, The apponitment by the Presi- dent of Mr, Lewis P.

There never was a Brown- low, no matter what his political faith may be, tainted with preju- dice or race hatred. For genera- tions the Brownlows have been monuinents to the State of Ten- nessee. The editor of this paper remembers. well when the cousin of “the, Commissioser _ headed the Tennessee delagation, of the Republican Conventiom in Philadelphia, Pa, in _ 1900, and ex-Commissioner Clay Evgns, who was always a disturb- ing element in Republican poli- ties, Ied a rival delegation, aud Mr. Evens, who always pretended to have great love for the Negro failed to obtain the support of the Colored delegates in the Commit- tee on credentials. The editor of The Bee joined forees with Wm. P. Brownlow to defeat Billy Whit- more. The present commissioner, ‘while a Democrat, and allied with the Democratie party. he does not [Delong to that school of diserimin- Jating and prejudiced public off cials. He will make a good Com. missioner, representing all the peo- ple. regardless of their color ot condition. He will see to it, as his recent predecessor, that com- petent colored men are appointed in the police and fire departments. ‘The Bee believes that Mr. Brown: low will let understrappers know that he is Commissioner and will exercise the authority given him and see to it that worthy colored people are given a square deal. There is another department which The Bee desires to call the attention of the present Board of Commissioners, and that is the Water Department. No Colored man has ever been given an oppor- tunity to rise, although there is a eompetent colored man in that de- partment fully competent to do the work of the office, und has done done. s | Why should there be so much prejudice against the elevation of colored employes in that depart- ment of our local government ? We need such aman as Mr. Brownlow and Mr. Newman, whose heads never grow too large to give a humble eitizen an audi. ence, or favorable consideration to the worthy and the competent. The Bee hopes that Commis. sioner Brownlow will pursue. the same douse as did his predecessor: If he does, no citizen. will have any fear of being ill treated. From what The Bee knows of the history of the Brownlows, the vountry is safe, - ; WIS LAST ACT. The reeord that Judge Freder- ick L. Siddons made while a Com- missioner of the District of Colum- bia is one that will commend him to the everlasting gratitude of the Colored people in the District of | Columbia. . | For five or six years no Colored man, has been appointed on the po- lice force. No matter how com- petent a Colored applicant ap- peared to be, there was always some exeuse to prevent him from passing the board of police a geons. If his heart and _ physic were alright, he had flat feet. If his feet were not flat, he was too shovt by an ineh. Not until Judge Siddons was made a Commissioner has a Colored man been appointed in the police department. Ex- Commissioner H. L. West issued an order that Colored men should succeed Colored men on the forer and when any Colored applicant passed the examination he should be appointed in his regular order. After the retirement of Mr. West no more Colored nen were ap- pointed in the police department. Commissioner Johnston, who pro- fessed to be. such a pure Republi- ean, made no effort to see that’ a Colored man was placed on the force. 2 The record of Mr. Siddons, who Jis now jone of the Associate Jus- tices of the Supreme Coart, sur- passed Mir. West and every subse- quent Commissioner. Mr. ‘Siddons |gave the police department, of {which Mr.*Slyvester is chief, to {uaderstand that two Colored men [ttat to be appointed in the detee- }tive bureau. ‘This was a, blow that |jstunned father, When the order was given to appoint Messrs. Car- jroll and Buckley, the police de- | partment was stumned. Mr, Sid- Jdons didn't recommend pigeons for managers of a fence. He ree- onimended two edueated Colored Jmon, One is a graduate in medi- Jcine and the latter a high school graduate, both men from two of }the leading anc oldest families in |the city. They have good records for honesty ‘and integrity and [thes are making good since their Jappointment. * | The last act of Judge Siddons, | just before he retired from the | Commissiqnership, was to sign a recommendation to appoint | Pierce.

How much easier it is for a man t ." be just who has the power to sav y{humanity than it is to‘be unfai and eruel. Why should a man b n|harslf and cruel because the victin 1|commits one wrong? Indeed, it i better to have the good will of a thief than to have his ill will. Many a thief has reformed and be- came a good citizen in a commun- ity. The entire eareer of. Mr. Sid- dons in this eity has been to help or to reform “humanity. What a noble record to be handed down to posterity. May God guide his judgment and sympathy, stay harsh and excessive sentence — to the unfortunates, exeept in aggra- vated eases, when life and proper- ty-are involved. May all of his subsequent acts ‘be as good as his last. -- ONJO AND NEW vorre | Negro voters §tiroughout the country have their eyes on Ohio and New Yorke Both these States now have Republican governors who sueceeded Democrats, Both ‘the governors in these States are ‘in the eyes of the public as Presi- dential possibilities. “The Negro Voters are watching to see what recognition they will give to the Negro voters in their respective State, « without which neither would have been elected. Ohio’s new Republican governor has in- dieated he will properly recognize the Negro, voters of his State. Le declared this before leaving Wash- ington to take up his new position. Governor Whitman, of New York, it is reported, told Negro leaders in his State that the race would have nothing to fear at his hands. Both governors are on record as promising a fair ,deal. Neither have thus far given any recogni- tion to the race, The race will be patient and give both governors time to aecord proper recognition. The Bee urges the governors to not be too slow in extending this ree- cognition ta the race. Both govern- ors have recognized their white constituents with many — good places. It would not have been a mistake to have recognized at least one or two of the race by this time. There are well qualified Colored men in New York and Ohio to fill any responsible posi- tion in the gift of a governor. The Bee repeats, the Negroes of _ the country have their eyes on Ohio and New York to see what the governors of these States propose to do for the race. Janitor jobs aml messengerships are all right in their place, and acceptable as part of the recognition to be ex- tended, but The Bee would im- press upon New York and Ohio's governors that the race will never be content with such recognition alone. ‘The race is worthy and en. titled to something far better and ‘higher. Will Governor Whitman jan Governor Willis, take heed! |The Bee confidently believes both ill. = HOLD-OVER REPUBLICANS. There are a few hold-over Re- publicans in offier who have been catering to the Demoeratie party for self-interest and will, receive their ticket of leave,now in a few ‘days. * When they are kicked ott by the Demoeratie” administration — they will endeavor to return, to their old home again and make exeuses why they “demoted, transferred and discharged white and Colored Republicans in office.

MR. DOYLE'S +sPEECIL The address, of Xa. John Doyle at St. Cyprian Catholie Chureh last Sunday evening was ei notable tribute to the Colored Catholics in this city. It was an_address that will be long remembered by those whv heard it. Mr. Doyle is a native Washingtonian and a young man who believes in accord- ing equal rights to his fellow man regardless of his color or condi- tion. Notwithstanding the severe storm last Sunday night the hall was crowded from the front door to the stage with many of the most distinguished and well known this city. No man is better known ‘to the people of this city than Mr. John: Doyle, and his reference to The Bee and its editor was received with applause. Among the many distinguished anditors was Publie Printer Ford. Elsewhere in The Bee will be read with interest ex- eerpts from his admirable ad- dress. THE BELGIAN RECEPTION. Notwithstanding the knocks that the Belgian’ Cominittee re- ceived from the disgruntled and disappointed Colored people the reception at Convention Hall was a success socially as well as finan- cially. Mrs. Logan, who was pres- ent at the presentation, was more than gratified with the efforts of tise who assisted in making the reception a sueeess. Mrs, Logan is a noble oman, full of sympathy and posstssing a heart that carries love and charity for those in dis- tress and in need. The Bee con- gratulates the entire committee for the noble effort it made in bringing about a success far be- yond the expectation of those who wanted it to be a failure. The gppressed teachers in the public schools are ‘appealing for protection from oppressioin, The leading editors and corre- spondents in the United States are asking for a change in the public schools. Will the Superintendent, Mr. ‘Thurston, ask for an expression from the great teaching body of Colored teachers in the public schools? Superintendent Thurston is convinced that Dr. Lucy Mater, principal of Normal School No. 2, is in the right and should be sus- tained. MR. SPINGARN'S TRIP. Great Success of the National Claims. ‘With bis engagement in Toledo and Buffalo, Dr. Spingarn, Chairman of thie Board of Directors of the Natlonal Association for the Advancement of Colored People, will conclude his trip to the middle west. In Toledo he will speak on Tuesday evening, Jan. 26th, ja the Warren A. M. E. Church on Erle street, the Rev. William D. Lee pastor. The next day at noon he will be the chief speaker at the luncheon of the’ Toledo Commerce Club. In Buffalo, on Thursday night, Jan. 28th, Dr. Spingarn will speak in Perkins Hail at the ¥. M. C, A. bullding. From start to finish Dr. Spingarn’s tour has been a great success. Every- where he has lectured to large audi- ences and has aroused wide-spread enthusiasm. Often many could not Ret {nto the place of meeting and hun- dreds had to be turned away from the doors. In Columbus the audience numbered over 2,000. In addition to mass meetings, Dr. Spingarn has ad- dressed university students, chambers of commerce, boards of trade, ‘social groupes, and other organizations in ‘the cities in his tour. Hundreds “of new menibers have been added to the Association, including many represen- tative white people. In Des Moines the Governor and Attorney General Joined. . In his, lecture which Dr. Spingarn called “Tests of Democracy” he de- fined the Association which he repre- sents as a new movement against all forms of race discrimination and said that its definite work was organizing Negroes and thelr friends, both polit ically and industrially, to act together in demanding the rights of colored people. In the days of slavery, sald Profesor Spingarn, Wendell Phillips declared that the main purpose of the abolitionists was to alter public opinon. The main object of the mod: ern movemens, which the speaker as. serted to be equal in significance to that before the Civil War, is also to alter public opotnion, and at the same time to concentrate things fn the way of organization. The political bal- ance of power which the Negro holds in seven pivotal States was cited as an instance of the force that could be brought to bear in the fight if public sentiment fs aroused and the organiza: tion can be perfected. Lynching of Negro in the South was a prominent theme of the speaker. He told of the recent outrages at Caddo Parish, La., and the lynching last week of an entire family, includ: ing two women, near Monticello, Ga, | because they resisted arrest. | eulig, alse told of the movement tc curtail land hofdine~ of Negroes by ithe passage of law» allowing the vot ers of a section to sai that when the larger part of the acreage of a section is held by one race. the voters may ;Say that no land shall be sold to a | member of a different race, claiming | that the limitations on Negro suffrage in the South would make it possible Ifor the whites to u-r thelr power tc /Keep their communitws white while the Negroes would urver be able tc luse itin their own favor. ‘The agricul ‘tural progress made by the Negroes ‘represented in their steadily increas ‘ing land holdings he -aid has been re sponsible for this new move to check jahd segregate them: and he deseribet +the bitter feeling it is creating.

A distinct feature was noted in the recital given Thursday, January 21, by Miss Beatrice S. Catlett of 943 S street, presenting Mr. Frank B. Williams, the well-known writer of "Consolation," "Jessamine," Salvation, "etc., in a song recital, consisting entirely of his own compositions. Of the seventeen songs comprising the program, thirteen, both lyric and setting, are from the pen of this gifted composer. Of the remaining four, two lyrics and two settings are from the same source. The program was well arranged and gave splendid opportunity for the display of the versatility of style and thought of the composer, ranging from pathetic to humorous and from live to sacred numbers. Aside form being a composer of decided talent, Mr. Williams possesses a tenor voice of remarkable range and sweetness. His tones are clear and well rounded and possess a sympathetic quality which thrills the hearts of his hearers, especially in his songs of pathos. Mr. Williams was accompanied, as well as assisted in several of his songs, by Mr. Harry A. Williams, the well-known tenor and teacher of voice culture of this city. The last song, "Love Untold," a duet sung by these two gentlemen received a storm of well-merited applause. Mr. Williams was at his best in "Fidelity," "The Rainy Day" "Salvation." JOHN H. HARRIS MR.

Mr. and Mrs. Ware and Grandpapa and Mamma Give a Most Brilliant Reception for the Daughter. One of the most brilliant and talented little misses is Miss Marjorie Ware, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Ware, and grand-daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph H. Holmes. Little Marjorie was ten years old Sunday, January 23d instant, and her parents gave her a birthday anniversary dinner at their beautiful home, 525 Twenty-first street N. W. Mrs. Ware is the accomplished organist of the Nineteenth street Baptist Church, from whom the child takes her musical accomplishments. Her grandfather is Mr. Joseph H. Holmes, who was considered to be the best basso singer in the city. For years he led in musical art. Mrs. Holmes, who was a Miss Anderson, is also a woman of accomplishments, and Mr. Ware, the father, makes a good and attentive husband and father. Last Sunday afternoon at two-thirty o'clock the guests had arrived, and at three they repaired to the diningroom, where an artistically arranged table, beautifully decorated, was set. At either end were two double sets of lighted wax candles, and in the center of the table was a birthday cake, made especially for Miss Marjorie, by her aunt. This cake was decorated with ten wax candles and when they were lighted it gave the appearance of a barren snowbill. At the conclusion of the dinner, Miss Marjorie cut the cake and each guest was served with cream and a slice of birthday cake. One could readily see that the dinner was prepared by an expert. At the conclusion of the dinner the guests retired to the parlor, where Mr. Hotmes rendered two or three of his vocal solos, which at one time made him famous as a vocalist. He hasn't lost any of his melody or that calm, resolute manner which characterized his popularity in days gone by. Madam Ware, whose artistic touch is seen every Sunday and on special occasions on the organ at the Nineteenth street Baptist Church, rendered several sweet musical selections. Miss Marjorie, whose anxiety was so great to show her guests what she could do, was not slow in demonstrating it in vocal solos and recitations. Among those present were: Mrs. Mary Ingraham, Miss Laura Davis, Mrs. Laura Powell of Brooklyn, Mrs. W. Calvin Chase, Mr. Wm. O. Davis, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph H. Holmes, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Ware.

Despite the very inclement weather of Sunday night, Nineteenth Street Baptist Church was crowded with those who came to witness the most beautiful and impressive Memorial services by the Scottish Rite Masons, ever held in Washington, D. C. These services were held in honor of Alex S. Howard, 33rd degree; Wm. H. Myers, 33rd degree; Wm. H. Severson, 33rd degree, and Chas. H. Wright, 33rd degree. Dr. C. S. Wormley sang the "Holy City," illustrated with stereopticon views, which was very solemn and impressive. Miss Nettle Murray's solo was one of the features of the program that will long be remembered by those present on account of its pathos and beauty. The violin solos by Mr. Hughes and Miss Jemima Harris were well rendered. The solo of Miss Charlotte Wallace was appropriate and well rendered. The orators of the evening were as follows: Prof. N. E. Weatherless, 33rd degree Grand Master of the Masons of D. C., eulogized the life of Wm. H. Myers, 33rd degree; A. J. Smith, 33rd degree, eulogized the life of Chas. H. Wright, 33rd degree; James Q. Bampfield, 33rd degree, eulogized the life of Wm. H. Severson, 33rd degree, and Dr. S. S. Thompson, 33rd degree, eulogized the life of Alex S. Howard, 33rd degree. The ceremonies participated in by Rev. J. N. Brooks, Rev. J. N. Beaman, Chas. H. Harris and Nathan Ball were very impressive. Much credit and praise is given Dr. S. S. Thompson, chairman of the committee, for the beautiful staging of the services and the manner in which he and Mr. Alexander Henson operated the stereoicon views and electrical display. The choir, under Prof. Roy Tibbs, rendered beautiful music for the occasion. Dr. Thompson is quite a genius. TEACHING MUSIC Mrs. M. Harvey Clinkscales, teacher of the piano. Terms reasonable.

HEALTH TALKS. The use of disinfectants have come to be regarded as an imperative sanitary precaution. It is the preventive measure that stops the spreading of infectious ailments. Authoritative health statistics furnish the proof that one in every five people in the United States have tuberculosis. The sputum of one victim of consumption contains enough germs to infect one hundred persons. No one in this enlightened age doubts the germ life theory. It is criminal for those who are charged with the management of indoor places, such as churches, theaters, hotels, boarding-school-houses, hospitals and other public places where people gather in numbers, not to use disinfectants to safe guard the health they are primarily responsible for. Santyline products can be depended upon to meet all disinfectant requirements. Their Insecticide kills instantly bed bugs, roaches, moths, water bugs, ants and mosquitoes. The Germicide is invaluable for disinfecting sick rooms, killing all disease germs, dispelling all unpleasant odors and producing a fragrant, sweet and wholesome atmosphere.

HERO OF TWO BIG BATTLES Strict Censorship Keeps Many Bravo Men In the Background—Joffre Plans the Attacks, While Foch Executes Them—How He Accepted High Office From President. Bordeaux. When King George visited the front he gave the same order to General Foch (the grand cross of the Bath) as to the commander in chief of the allies, General Joffre. This is the highest distinction the king of England can confer on a general for purely military services. Owing to the completeness of the French censorship, which prevents any general from being singled out for publicity and the small attention paid to the work of the French generals in the English press, people were mystified in England when General Foch, a person unknown to them, was singled out for this compliment by their king. But the fact is that General Foch was the hero of the battles of the Marne and Yser and is likely to go down in history as the greatest figure of the war on the French side, next to General Joffre. Joffre plans, Foch executes; Joffre is the headpiece, Foch the right hand of the French army. Each likes and respects the other. GENERAL FOR H. Foch's confidence in his chief's tactical genius is unbounded. Joffre knows that when it comes to an offensive movement he has an instrument in Foch on which he can place entire reliance. In private life the two men are more than comrades in arms. They are close friends and never more happy than when they can sit down over a pipe and discuss military reminiscences; for both are veterans in the strictest sense of the word. Their ages differ but by a few months; their birthplaces are but a few miles apart. Ferdinand Foch was born at Tarbes, in the southern department of Gers, on Oct. 2, 1851. His father, Napoleon Foch, was secretary of the prefecture at Tarbes, where his three sons, of whom General Foch was the eldest, attended the local college. Each boy chose his profession—one law, another the church and young Ferdinand the army. Ferdinand soon made his mark and at the age of twenty-six was nominated artillery captain. Rapidly he rose to the post of professor of tactics, with the title of commandant, at the Ecole de Guerre, or Military school, where he remained five years. His lectures and military works have been translated into many languages. Having been created brigadier general in 1908. Foch now succeeded to the directorship of the Ecole de Guerre, one of the most confidential positions in the war department. He left this post to take command of the Thirteenth division and afterward of the Eighth corps at Bourges and finally the Twentieth corps at Nancy. The war did not take Foch by surprise. He was among those who felt it was inevitable in the near future and had even been looked upon by a section of politicians as an alarmist, much as Lord Roberts was in England by the corresponding political party there Joffre, who has the leader's instinct in choosing his men. immediately selected Foch for the responsible position of commander of the Fifth army at La Fere-Champenois. How he acquitted himself here is a matter of history. Early in October Foch succeeded to the command of the three armies of the north. He is now Joffre's right hand man and is looked upon as the "vice generalissimo" of the French army. Interior of Houses Damaged. Paris.

Right, Mr. Editor, but I object to the term "social equality." Congressman Crosser said that he would work against the Anti-Negro amendment because of two things: That "God is no respecter of persons," and because it conflicts with the Declaration of Independence "All men are created equal." Also it is generally acknowledged by all unprejudiced people that the Negro (not as a whole but in a great many instances) is spiritually, morally and intellectually the equal of any people on earth. And any people that can attain to these noble attributes of equality and still remain inferior socially, deserves to be ostracised forever. Not to be flattering, but just as an instance, I will say, Mr. Editor, that you and your most excellent family are far superior, to say nothing of being equal, socially to a great many white people that I have known. THE NEW YORKER A Man With a Conviction The Belgian Movement Endorsed REV. D. F. RIVERS. The Most Conservative Minister in This City. A Christian and a Gentle man Popular and Elouquent. Rev. D. F. Rivers, pastor of Berean Baptist Church, is a man among the people and a Christian gentleman. He is one of he great ministers in this city who had the moral courage to encourage the Belgian Committee in its public reception to the Belgian sufferers. The Berean Baptist Church is beautifully situated at the Southeast corner of Eleventh and U streets, Northwest. Rev. Rivers is one of the most fearless preachers in the United States and for sixteen years he has been a fearless advocate of he doctrine of the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of man, and without the slightest reproach upon his character and reputation. He takes a broad view on all questions and as a humanitarian, he is beyond all doubt the most sympathetic. He is a most liberal man in every thing. He has helped all charities that have sought his aid. Will preach a sermon on missions the first Sunday night in February, at his church, Eleventh and U, at 7:30 o'clock, the free will offering to come and make an offering of from 25 cents and up, to this home, and hear this messenger of God deliver the word to his people. The service will be under the auspices of the Christian Endeavor Society, Charles F. W. Browne, president; Miss Helen Webb, secretary. Mrs. Julia M. Layton, the president of this home, has arranged for a quartette from the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church choir, of which her husband, Prof. John T. Layton, is director. A solo by Mrs. Lucy A. Blagburn and a solo by Dr. C. Summer Wormley, with special music by the Berean Choir, Mr. J. T. Beason, director. Come early and get good seats.

No seats are to be given to any but charity loving and giving people. We now beg you to be present, for "If Israel is not gathered Jacob shall not lose his reward." NOT FOR US THE MIXING. They had a big scare up in Congress; quite appalling so 'tis sald. There's a monstrous old hobgoblin, and their hearts are filled with dread. Colored folks are far more happier, satisfied and more at ease Among their own people. There's no danger in this country of the races mixing up Except where those Southern night hawks force the mixing in the cup; Certainly there're abnormal cases where both sides seem to attract But that kind of social cross fire is not numerous; 'tis a fact As the water seeks its level so both races seek their mate Among their own people. It it foolish and insulting to the women of their race To impute that they are likely to forget their proper place. And it shows the guilty conscious of such men whose thoughts are low Who to hide their shameful cravings strike a weaker race a blow. Thus they hide behind a shadow for they dare not show their passion Among their own people. Colored folks are human beings filled with human hopes and fears. Do they crave for white society? No! not in a million years. Sure there are some who are so foolish as to cross the social sea, But the most of them are wiser, they'd much rather to be free For they know that True Contentment For they know that True Contentment and their heart's desire is found Among their own people. JAMES-CONWAY JACKSON HOT SHOT. "Now, Congress failed to pass the Immigration bill prohibiting African Negroes from coming into America, it has passed a bill prohibiting Negroes from marrying white women. These men in Congress have less confidence in their women than colored men have. Will some one kindly explain how a colored man can force a white woman to marry him? Those who voted for the passage of that bill certainly have but little confidence in their women, that a law must be passed prohibiting their women from marrying colored men. An amendment should be added to that bill making it a crime for white men for having illegal association with colored women. It is almost dangerous now for a good-looking colored girl or a colored lady to walk the streets without being insulted by some white man, who criticises a good-looking colored girl in the day time and ready to devour her at night. Why should Congress pass such a bill which is nothing less than a reflection on the good white women in this country? No colored man would dare force himself in the company of white people and neither would any sensible colored man dare to make or suggest love to any white woman. The colored man seems to be an eye sore to this Democratic Congress. It is a wonder that these Southern Congressmen are able to sleep for The National Religious Training School, Durham, N.C. The image shows a large, open field with a few scattered buildings in the background. The field is surrounded by trees and appears to be a rural or semi-rural area. The buildings are large and appear to be part of a farm or a large estate. The sky is overcast, suggesting a cloudy day. The following Departments are in successful operation: 2. Department of Theology. 3. Commercial Department. So, If The Bee or any other agency, either human or divine, can with the use of a sledge hammer or some other instrument "beat it into the thick heads of those Southern Congressmen" that the colored man does not want social intercourse; that he does not want to mix socially (perhaps?) they would be at ease. JAMES CONWAY JACKSON. NOTES ON RACIAL PROGRESS. Furnished by the National Negro Business League. It is reported that more than 500 colored people including many news-boys have joined the 1915 Christmas Club of the Wage Earners' Bank at Savannah, Georgia, of which Walter S. Scott, a graduate of Tuskegee, is Cashier. The Colored Walters and Cooks' Association, of California has been organized with headquarters at Los Angeles. Greater efficiency, protection and advertising their services to hotel proprietors of the state are some of the objects. The Montgomery Local Negro Business League presented resolutions of respect to Hon. Emmet O'Neal, the retiring Governor of their State, endorsing his administration as one of justice to the race. While Governor, Mr. O'Neal set up a standard in the matter of lynching, which all States' executives would do well to follow. The State Industrial Home for Negro girls at Tipton, Mo., will be ready for occupancy about March 20, so a member of the board of managers announces. The building will accommodate 300 girls.

It seemed to him that each preacher felt that be had a'richt to make a hell for all non- church members according to his own | conception. None seemed to think it necessary to xo to the Bible. He re- minded us of the views of the saintly Thomas a Kempls, In which™ he de- seribed the horrible smells and sights of Hell so graphically as to make one wonder if he had made a special visit, and returned to write its description. He reminded us of the vivid picture ‘this writer xives of a naked soul—-it ansbody knows what a naked soul ts =and how the fiery blasts Gnatly as- bestosizal the outer skin, rendering the suffering somewhat less. But this decrease of suffering, ac- cording to Tbowas a Kemps. was dis- pleasing to God; and a gescription is given of bow thls torture was renew- ed and intensitied. The asbestos skin split down the back lke the sbell of a locust, and Into that crack the flames fof Hell licked their way furlously Fupon the raw flesh of the damned souls, This process, the saint Inform: ed us, is to be kept up throughout all eternlty for the Joy af God and the holy angels. fur the satisfaction af some kind of justice which the saint had in mind,’ but which we of today, thank God! are unable to comprehend, The Pastor declared that fire ts used In the New Testament ay a symbol of destruction, an {Unstration of how all the wilfully wicked God will destroy eventunlly. People do know something about flery trials, und about heaping coals of tire upon tbe beads of their enemfes figuratively. But whenever the want fire oceurs In any connection where ft can be twisted Into signify- Ing eternal torment. those who love that kind of punishment for thelr ene- mies are swift to take advantage of it eternal torment is the Just, the loy- ing thins to xglve to all the beathen who never heard of Christ, to all the Poor, ignorait and degraded who, born in sin; in weakness, Gnd themselves discouraged and overwhelmed by the Adversary—to all not church members, This sort of thing has been going on so long, the Pastor sald, that every- body gradually came to believe it, and | remarkatily few have inquired as to its | unscripturalness. Many sensible peo- ple beld aloof from religion entirely. unwilling to confess themselves bellev- ers of such « doctrine or worshipers of such a God, But uow we'have variations to suit our more refined feelings.

Some bare it with 2 slawer fire, not su red-hot: fetes have it that it is merely a place of mental sremorse—following in thls. to some extent, the leading of Dante's Picture of Iurgatory, where various punishments are meted out for vari- ous sins, ‘They do not, however, fo so far as Dante ani call the place Purga- tory, or admit that there will ever be any release from it. They content themselves ty saying that there 1s nothing in the Bible about Purgatory. and forzet that there is nothing In the Bible about their kind of Hell, the Bi- ble Hell being a totally different one.

Where ts Hell? Who Are There? Our English word Hell comes to us from the German language—hochle signifying u ble. It is, therefore, 2 | vers good trunsiation for the Hebrew word Sheol, which signifies a pit, a hole, a grave. The New Testament Greek gives us Iades as the exact equivalent of Sheol. Whenever Sheo! fs translated into the New Testament Greek the word Hades 1s used. Thus the Psalmist wrote “Thou wilt no leave My son! in Sheol” (bell—th grave): und St. Peter translated thi: In the New ‘Testament, rendering it “Thou wilt not leave My soul {1 Hades” (bell—the grave). St. Peter tells us that these word were not true respecting the Propbe David, who used them: that he ts stil in Hell, in Sheol, in Hades, He‘ says “His sepulcbre is with us unto tht day.” The Proplet David bad not ye been resurrected out of Sheol, out o the state of death, out of the gray condition. St. Peter explaius that th words were n prophecy relating t Christ's resurrectlon—that God raise Jesus from the‘dead on the third da, —raised Him. therefore, from Hades after He had been In Hades for part of three days. There ts not a shred of authorit; anywhere for the absurd statement sometimes made by cornered clergs men, that “Paradise Is on one side o the creek and .Mades on the other. The Bible tells of n Paradise, but it ! future. It tells 6f Hades, the state o the dead; but it Is present. and Is t be destroyed in the future. The di struction pf Hades, Sheol, the grave will progress during the thousan years of Christ's Relgn. Every tim an individual {s resurrected from th dead, his grave will be destroyed— will be a grave no longer. Good, Bad, Rich, Poor, In Hell. Ata time when the Bible was ni | in the bands of the people. and ni | considered necessary to them, becau: they hnd the creeds, various error | spread: and both Catholics and Pr testants helped to spread them, un | no doubt many were deceived into b | Heving all that they said. We are n | charging them all with bypocrisy. bi | with error—with being out of harm | ny with the Bible. The Bible do } not tell about any going to Heaven 1 | death: but ft does tell that all, bot | good and bad. rich and poor, go | | Hell at death: that King David wei | to Hell, und is still there. Note tl | Apostle Peter's words, “David is ni | ascended into the Heavens.” (Ac | 2:34. David ts not one of the ele | Chureh. fle was never called to t || Heavenly Calling.

He was rescued from the Hell-belly; ror the Yelly of the sh was his Hell, or grave. ‘The Bible fy very explicit in declar- ing that all die—not merely seem to die, but really die—and: that there would be no future life whitever for munkind, unless God provides a resur- rection, God has provided for a resur- rection, ills provision Is made in Christ, who died for our sins. St. Paul declures, If there be no resurrection of the dead, alt our Christian faith and hope ure perished; we bave nothing to | live for; we lave uo bopes, But be assures us that Christ las dled and risen, Therefore. ultimately, all will be delivered from the power of Sheol, Hades, the grave. . <4 few were awakened in olden ‘times, ierely to relapse into death again. It was uot possible that auy could be fully recovered from the power, of death until Christ first had provided the Redemption-price on man’s behalf. God speaks of things from thls view- point. Looking down from the begin- ning, He tells us that He bad provid- ed Jesus as “the Lamb of God” In His purpose before the foundation of- the world. Hence, in speaking to Moses, He did not speik of the world as be- Ving dead In the sense of dead brute ‘beasts, but as those who bave hope. He spoke of the things not yet accom: plished as though they had already been accomplinbed, and declared Him- Self the God of Abralam, Isaac and Jacob, who were dead, but for whom a resurrection had been provided. Gathered to Their Fathers—Asleep. Of both the good nnd the bad we rend that they were gathered to their fathers. ‘Thelr fathers were not In Heaven; for that is not a sleeping place; their fathers were not {n the Gery Hell of orthodoxy and the creeds of the Dark Ages; for they were not yet Imagined. They did not sleep iu @ Catholle Purgatory for the same rea- son; but they slept, and ure sleeping atill, and, will continue to sleep until they shall be awakened. This same thought {s given in the New Testament as well as in the O1d. Jesus said that Luzurus slept; and He awakened the daughter of Jairug from the, sleep. St. Paul declared that all the Church would sleep except those who would be allve at the time of our | Lord's Second Coming. It Is from | this viewpoint that the great work of Christ and His Millennial Kingdom 4s | described as specifically and especially an awakening of the sleeping dead. | In the Old Testament, Sheol Is de- ‘| scribed as u great prison-bouse intc | which the people have gone, and out | of which none could make bis way tc '| Uberty from death. The same thought ‘jis given us In the New Testament '| Our Lord tells of how He will unloc} '| Hades, Sheol, the tomb, and delivel the prisoners. He tells us that He | “has the keys of death and of Hades.’ \| He got the key, or authority, or pow ‘| er, to open the grave, to give a resut -| rection to the whole world of mankind ‘| at the cost of His life, which He free ly sacriticed, dying “the Just for the '] unjust,” “tasting death for every man." *| Coming Back From Sheol, From Hades From Hell. ‘1 In symbolic language the Scripture: ,| picture Jesus as teading forth a multi ;| tude of captives.

At three o’clock there was a mass meeting held in the interest of the anti-Sabbath desecration, whlch was‘a great meet- ing, and many voiced their sentiments in the interest of so great a meeting. More than one hundred were present. At 7:30 the pastor again ascended the rostrum and deivered a masterful ser- mon, “The Blaines Invineibles,~ which was full of wholesome information. The congregation all day was large and collections good. One member was taken in the church. The Sunday School was better attended than many expected because of the inclemency of the weather.
