IF IT'S NEWS, IT'S IN THE BEE, FOR THE BEE IS A NEWSPAPER. THE BEE WASHINGTON Washington's Bret and Leading Negro Newspaper-That's THE BEE VOL. XXXV, NO. 39 WASHINGTON, D.C., SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1915 LINGOLN'S BIRTHDAY National Commemorative Society Holds Big Meeting. Senator Jones Speaks. Prof. Jesse Lawson Presides. A large and enthusiastic gathering greeted Senator Wesley L. Jones when he entered the rostrum at the John Wesley A. M. E. Zion church, on Friday evening, February twelfth, to address the National Emancipation Commemorative Society in its celebration of the one hundred sixth anniversary of the birth of Abraham Lincoln. Senator Jones spoke substantially as follows: as follows: "American citizenship! What a precious privilege it is! What a priceless heritage secured through sacrifice, suffering struggle and blood! I fear we lose sight of it as we are stirred by the great conflict now engulfing Christendom. As we watch this conflict and contemplate the suffering and the death of friends, and mayhap loved ones in the land of our fathers or forefathers it is but human that our sympathy should be aroused, and I fear that we forget our homeland, our own land, own citizenship and our peace. Passions are aroused and hatred is being engendered, among whom? Among American citizens. We as American citizens, are taking sides in this conflict. This should not be. The man who has become an American citizen, the man who has been granted the priceless boon by the beneficence of our laws and institutions, is untrue to the country of his adoption when he takes sides with the conflict now going on in Europe. Every man who has sought American citizenship and secured it, if he deserves to be an American citizen, has ceased to be a German, has ceased to be an Englishman, has ceased to be a Frenchman, and has become an American, and should act as an American. If he is not willing to do so he should renounce his citizenship, return the rights and privileges that have been given him, and return to his old allegiance. No man can be a German, an Englishman, or a Frenchman at the same time. American citizenship with all of its rights, blessings and privileges has come to us through the sufferings of the Revolution and has been preserved through the carnage of the greatest Civil war of the times. It was the dream of the ancients; the highest fruit of the struggles and the sufferings of all the ages. Yes, I say it was the dream of the ancients, the hope of the middle ages, and it is the acme of the present. Those who have received it, and those who seek it as a gift should fully undertand and appreciate: What anvils rang, what hammers beat, In what a forge and what a heat Were wrought the anchors of our hope, and be true to the oath they took when they renounced the old and took on the new. We do not ask them to love their mother country less, but we do insist that they shall love the country of their adoption more, and in this hour of peril that they shall look to the peace and safety of the country and the flag they have sworn to love and to protect above all else. You may be anxious for the father- land or the motherland, but the inter- est of the homeland should be supreme in the heart of every American citizen. American citizens, no matter whence they came, owe no allegiance to any other country and should give no allegiance to any other land but the land of their adoption. To do so is to recruit to the oath of their citizenship and duty, and is false to the stars and stripes. Abraham Lincoln was willing to do everything and anything to save the Union; to preserve a united country; to transmit to us American citizenship in all its worth and glory. It cost thousands and thousands or precious lives, myrlads of broken hearts and desolated homes, and it is little short of treason that these sacrifices should be forgotten now, and the peace of our people and the preservation of our country endangered by our sympathy for a country whose allegiance we have renounced. Every naturalized citizen should say with every native son and daughter: I love every inch of her prairie land, Each stone on her mountainside, I love every drop of the water clear, That flows in her rivers wide; I love every tree, every blade of grass, Within Columbia's gates, The queen of the earth is the land of my birth. My own United States." He pald a glowing tribute to the patriotism and loyalty of the colored Americans to their country and flag. His address was received with prolonged cheering and the Chautauqua salute. Rev. Walter H. Brooks was cheered to the echo when he said that colored people in the United States recognized no flag as their flag but the stars and stripes. Mrs. Julia West Hamilton gave a very interesting history of the origin, formation and growth of the National Emancipation Commemorative Society. Miss Ethel Robinson read an original poem, and other addresses were made by Hon. Judson W. Lyons, Rev. W. H. Jernagin, Dr. I. E. Mason, and Mr. N. W. Magowan. The following resolutions were reported from the committee on Resolutions by Rev. William Wallace McCary were unanimously adopted: Resolved. That in grateful remem brance of the work accomplished for the cause of freedom; in the emancipation of the slaves of the United States; for the patriotic service rendered his country in her hour of trial, and for the noble life and character exemplified in the person of ABRAHAM LINCOLN, we recommend to the colored people of the United States that they hold, each year, a fitting observance of the martyred Abraham Lincoln: That we further recommend that the twenty-second day of September of each year, be observed by them as Emancipation day throughout the country, and that day be entered on our Calendars as a Red Letter Day: That we feel grateful to the men and women of every race and in whatsoever section of the country they may be found, who have befriended our struggling people and helped them in their endeavor to attain to the full height of American citizenship: That we feel especially grateful for the service rendered our cause by the late General A. S. Burt, whom God has recently called from labor to reward: That a copy of these resolutions be sent to the family of General Burt, and be spread upon the minutes of this meeting. Prof. Jesse Lawson, president of the National Emancipation Commemorative Society, presided, and the following is the list of officers of the meeting: Vice presidents: Mr. Daniel Freeman, Hon.

Yours truly, EMANUEL M, HEWLETT. EX-RECORDER OF DEEDS SPEAKS. Mr. John C. Dancy' at Yonkers, N. Y. Comparison of Douglas and Lin- The Colored people held a big meeting in this place today. The principal address was made by Mr. John C. Dancy, ex-recorder of deeds for the District of Columbia. Mr. Dancy said in part as follows: John C. Dancy, former Recorder of the District of Columbia, who has been heard with pleasure on several occasions in Westchester County, was the last speaker. He made an eloquent address on "Frederick Douglas," showing the similarity between Douglas's career and that of Lincoln. Douglas was born a slave in Maryland, while Lincoln was born nominally a freedman in Kentucky. Neither of them had any advantages to help them along in life; each had to "paddle his own canoe," and "to root hog or die." Each had a sense of humor. One was a lawyer; the other was the sexton of a little church in New Bedford Mass., and finally a local preacher. "One went along legal lines," said the speaker, "and the other followed the example of the lowly Nazarene and taught others. Lincoln was a man of direct speech; he did not waste a word. Douglas was an orator of the highest type, swaying and winning men. He was not unlike Lincoln in his simplicity—simplicity of life, of speech. He was never on dress parade. He knew the truth, and he had the disposition to tell the truth. Douglas was a statesman, not a politician. He loved his country, and its flag; he believed that that flag should be the emblem of liberty all over the world." Pointing out the achievements of the Negro race during the last 50 years, Mr. Dancy made a plea for greater aid and co-operation from the dominant race; he spoke of some of the discriminations still in force against Negroes. The evening's program was concluded by all rising and singing, "My Country, 'Tis of Thee." LANGSTON AND DOUGLAS. Tribute to Two Well-known Orators. In commemoration of the memory of Frederick A. Douglass and John M. Langston, a large number of negro residents of Washington attended the meeting last Tuesday evening of the Bethel Literary and Historical Association of Metropolitan A. M. E. Church. The eulogy of both of these former representatives of the Colored race was given by J. C. Napier of Nashville, Tenn., son-in-law of the latter, and an address dealing with the achievements and character of both was given by John C. Dancy, former recorder of deeds. Mrs. Lettle Langton Napier also talked of the father's life. Others who spoke were Rev. C. H. Stepteau, L. C. Gregory, F. D. Lee, James H. Marshall, and Messrs Smith and Maxfield. Frank Williams rected an original poem entitled "Fifty Years of Freedom." Music was furnished by the E. Azalla Hackley chorus, James A. Wright, director, and Mrs. Martha Liggons, accompanist. A. D. Madre is president of the association. Mrs. Nettie Langston Napier charmed the audience with her address. She was not scheduled on the program, but was called upon by the president, Miss Madre. The house gave such a rousing applause that Mrs. Napier had to come to the front. Once on her feet she was master of the situation and rose to the dignity of a queen while talking of her illustrous father. The E. Azalia Hackley Chorus, of which Mr. Jas. H. Marshall is president; Prof. Jas. Wright Dir and Miss Martha Liggons, pianist, sang most inspiring music. The Hon. John C. Dancy, who was intimately connected with both men, made a fine talk. Ex-President Louis G. Gregory pleased the audience with his facts and they were loathe to have him stop. Others who took part in the discussion were M. G. Maxhead and Rev. C. H. Stepteau. Mr. Maxfield delivered a most eloquent address. PRUDENCE CRANDALL AUXILIARY ASSOCIATION. For more than twelve years the Prudence Crandall Association has been co-operating with the teachers of the public schools to keep needy children in school and keep up the daily attendance. Teachers all over the District express grateful appreciation for the valuable service of this organization. Miss E. F. G. Merritt, the organizer and president, has recently organized a group of earnest women into an auxiliary to the older association More than thirty young teachers responded to the call and under the inspiring leadership of their president, Miss Valeria Chase, and her able officials, Miss Ethel Gibbons, financial secretary; Miss Clotille Houston, corresponding secretary; Miss Imogene Clarkston, treasurer, have come nobly to the relief of the many appeals which are daily made to the association for shoes for the deserving pupils of the city. The auxiliary realized from their reception, given on the 8th of January, seventy-six dollars ($76.00) up to date. They hope to bring this amount to ninety-seven dollars when all returns shall have been made for tickets. The young women forming the new organization feel that they can assist the Prudence Crandall with its efforts, and at the same time do some good work for our unfortunate girls who should be confined in the girls' reform school with the criminal class and thereby added to that class. On Tuesday evening, Mrs. Gray, the probationary officer of the juvenile court, addressed the Auxiliary at the residence of Miss Merritt, stressing the necessity of aiding girls that are not wholly bad to better opportunity to work out their salvation. The young women donated ten-dollars towards the board of a fourteen-year-old girl who is being cared for at the Social Settlement, promising to do more as they increase their fund. It is sincerely hoped that the general public will feel that a privilege to rally to the effort of the Prudence Crandall Association at the annual reception to be given February 26th at the New Auditorium Hall, Eighth street S. E., for calls are increasing and the funds are running very low. CARNEGIE ENDOWMENT FOR INTERNATIONAL REACH Washington, D. C., Feb. 16, 1915. The undersigned have been associated for some years in the execution of a trust to promote international peace and our duties have involved a continual survey of the efforts to that end throughout the world. We wish to say to all friends of peace that the dreadful war now raging affords no just cause for discouragement, no discredit to past efforts, and no reason to doubt that still greater efforts in the future may be effective and useful. The war itself is teaching the gospel of peace through a lesson so shocking and so terrible that the most indifferent can not fail to attend and understand it. Not only have the destruction of life, the devastation and are suffering in the warring countries passed all experience, but the cessation of production, the closing of markets, the blocking of trade routes, the interruption of exchanges, have affected industry and caused ruin and poverty in all the peaceful countries of the world. The universal independence of nations has been demonstrated and the truth forced upon every mind that the peace of all nations is the vital concern of every nation. To cast our weak protest now among the tremendous forces that are urging on the conflict would be futile; but the end of this war will come before long and then the great question will stand for answer: Shall the lesson be forgotten; the sacrifice lost? That question the billigeren nations only will have the power to answer; but every one in the world will be entitled to be heard upon it, for it will be a question of civilization, the most momentous of our era. It seems incredible that after this the stricken people will set their feet in the same old paths of policy and suspicion which must lead them again to the same result. Finding expression through a great multitude of voices everywhere the general public opinion of mankind should influence the minds of the negotiators who settle the terms of peace and inspire them to a new departure in the establishment of justice as the rule of international relations. While we must not be overconfident of our individual qualifications to point out the detailed methods through which the result may be accomplished, we may still advocate measures which seem practicable and appropriate to the purpose. We can see that definite rules of national conduct should be agreed upon; that a court of competent jurisdiction should be established to judge of national conformity to those rules; and that new sanctions should be provided to compel respect for the judgments rendered. Above all the motive and spirit of the new institutions should be clearly and fully, not the promotion of ambition or the extension of power, but the safe-guarding of human rights and the perfection of individual liberty. Toward this high end the courage and hope and conviction of the humblest citizen of the most distant land may contribute. JOSEPH H. CHOATE ANDREW D. WHITE JOHN W. FOSTER ELIHU ROOT LUKE E.

THE COLORED LAWYER. The Bee has every reason to feel proud of the Colored members of the bar, because they have so conducted themselves to command the respect and confidence of the bench. The Bee last week briefly mentioned its good friend, Attorney John A. Moss, and states that ex-Judge E. M. Hewlett would be considered this week. Before doing so, The Bee wishes to correct the impression The Bee coneyed relative to Attorney Geo. F. Collins. The idea The Bee wishes to convey is that Attorney Collins is persistent in the prosecution and defense of his legal causes of action. He is determined and persevering. Speaking of ex-Judge Hewlett, there are many commendable traits about him. In the first place he is manly. He is one among the few to go to the aid of his brother lawyer, who may be in trouble, and in expressing his opinion on public questions. Relative to him being a candidate for the office of recorder of deeds, it is true that he saw fit to support the democratic party in the campaign of 1912, and September 15, 1913, he sent the following letter to The Bee, which was published: Kraft Bros. can save you from 30 toq 50 per cent on your furniture purchases during, their February sale.

Dr. Ernest Everett Just Received Distinguished Honors. New York, February 13, 1915.—Last night, in the presence of an audience of almost two thousand people, at the annual meeting of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, in Ethical Culture Hall, Governor Whitman awarded to Dr. Ernest Everett Just the first Springarn Medal. This one hundred dollar gold medal is offered annually by Dr. J. E. Springarn, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the National Association to the man or woman of African descent and American citizenship who shall have made the highest achievement during the preceding year in any field of elevated or honorable human endeavor. Dr. Just, since 1912, has been professor and head of the Department of Physiology in Howard University Medical School. He was born in Charleston, South Carolina, thirty-one years ago. He was prepared for college at Kimball Union Academy at Meriden, N. H., and was graduated from Dartmouth in 1907, magna cum laude, being the only one of his class to receive this special honor. He was also elected to the Phi Beta Kappa. From 1909 to 1914 he has devoted his summers to research work at the Marine Biological Laboratory, Woods Hole, Mass. He has been doing special research work in Physiology and Zoology since 1911. In spite of his youth and the amount of time that his professional position requires him to devote to academic routine, he has been since 1912 a regular contributor to scientific periodicals. The Biological Bulletin, the official organ of the Marine Biological Laboratory, has published a series of his scholarly accounts of his scientific investigations. He has now in press an article which is to appear in the Journal of Morprology, which is the organ of the Wlstar Institute of Medicine and Biology, Philadelphia. Dr. Just was chosen from a long list of candidates in many fields. He was recommended by men of the highest professional standing of both races. Dr. Jacques Loeb, of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research, in writing of Dr. Just, said, "His knowledge of biology and his critical ability are of an unusually high and lofty order. In the work he devotes to Howard University, he is guided by very high motives since the remuneration he receives is only a fraction of his nominal salary. He could easily increase his income by giving up his position. Dr. Just has 'sacrificed a good deal for the advancement of medical schools for colored people, and he will do a good deal more if he is given a chance as I hope he may be." Prof. Lillie of Chicago University, who has collaborated with Dr. Just in some of his research work, in recommending him wrote, "Dr. Just is a relatively young man of high scientific attainments and has great enthusiasm and ability in research. In the last two and a half years he has published or has in press six articles. His most recent work is of the greatest significance and would insure him a wide reputation if he were a white man. No doubt, you know of his position in Howard University in Washington and the good work he is doing there in bringing up the standards of medical education in his own race. The conditions under which he sl obligated to carry it on are, in some respects, highly discouraging." The committee who decided the award were: Bishop John Hurst, Chairman; ex-President Taft; Mr. John Hope, President of Morehouse College; Dr. James H. Dillard, Director of the Jeanes and Slater Funds and Mr. Oswald Garrison Villard, President of the New York Evening Post Company. The Springarn Medal is offered each year by Dr. Springarn and is not restricted to any particular field of human endeavor. The next award will probably be made at the annual conference of the Association during the first week in May. After the speech by Governor Whitman, Prof. William Pickens, of Wiley University, made an eloquent appeal for his race. There were ten-minute addresses by Mirza All Kull Kahn, Representative to Persia to the United States; Mrs. Charlotte Perkins Gilman; Moorfield Storey, President of the National Association; Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, and Lindon Bates, Jr., Mr. Oswald Garrison Villard presided. BRENTWOOD, MD. The Parent-Teachers' Association of the Brentwood Colored school met at the school Tuesday night, February 16. Mrs. M. F. Wigginton is principal, and Mrs. E. H. Grace and Miss Josephine Bryant are the assistants. Mr. James F. Armstrong, supervisor of schools, and Mrs. L. E. Crown of Fairmont Helights, were invited to be present and address the meeting. The teachers are doing a great work, both academic and industrial. Clarence Stacks, a recent honor graduate of the Denver (Colorado) University, has been appointed cashier and head-bookkeeper of the Fraternal Bank & Trust Company of Fort Worth, Texas. PUBLIC MEN AND THINGS (By the Sage of the Potomac.) Speaking about women's waist line, I know at least one lady in this town who never makes no fuss about her waist line. She aint got none. Roscoe Bruce spent about half his time huntin' for boosts, and now he's kept busy dodging knocks. That's life in large cities. That thin, fragile lady who promi- nades over You street, holding her skirt pretty tolerable high I thank you, because she thinks silk hose makes her props look swell, ought to know that a pork-fed pair in white cotton hose gets more rubbernecks. Wash Woods was asked the other day what he would do if he had a million dollars, and you can believe me or not, but his ideas didn't agree with either Rockefeller or Carnegie at no stage. Wash has funny ideas anyhow. I've heard it said that no chicken likes to be roasted. And yet from the condition I saw a couple the other evening, coming Northwest on a Fourteenth street car, some chickens must like to be stewed. Treer's at least one of my acquaintances who attends Berean Baptist Church who never puts more than a jitney in the collection basket, is all the time talking about raisin' Rev. Rivers' salary. It needs raisin' sure, and maybe paid more promptly, but the fellow who agitates it ought to drop more'n a jitney in the basket. Drop around to some of the barber shops and pool rooms in town, and you will be sure to run up against a lot of fellows what have made, a failure in everything they undertook, but are now making a success of their present occupation—loafing. While eating my lunch down at Gaskins the other day, I overheard one fellow bragging about being a good judge of whiskey. While I sat there I became convinced of his being a good judge, for not once did he fail to take in the evidence, when somebody supooned the waiter to bring it. There's been a lot of talk, for the past several thousand years, about poor little Eve, who once on a time gave away apples in a historical garden. But take it from me Eve wasn't the last girlie to give a fellow an apple. Get diagram from Andy Thomas. These foreign mission cranks always get on my nerves. I overheard a lady of my acquaintance who subscribed $2 for the foreign mission work, hollern' like bloody murder because a poor, hardworking washerwoman charged her fifty cents for three-quarters of a day of washing. I want to remind the ladies that the minister who recently pronounced so strongly against thin hose, thin skirts and waist-line bodices is really not so much opposed to them as he lets on. I observed him, at a prominent corner the other day, reflectively sighting several pairs of silk hose, under short, tight dresses. And he didn't know I was watchin' him. But men are mens, and leg—leggins are leggins. Talk about politics making strange bed fellows, why it aint a circumstance to the Washington schools. Just run your eyes back down' the line and recall the fellows what were sleeping together who wont occupy the same room now, and the fellows who use to put their hand back to their hip pocket every time the others went by who are now in loving accord. Little more than a year ago, if I recollect right, Roscoe Bruce and Ralph Tyler were sort of "comrades ever since we were boys," and all a sudden Roscoe handed the Ohio derelict the same thing he gives everybody—the double cross, and presto change they were enemies. Then Roscoe handed William Calvin a smudge talk, made him believe that Tyler was a dictator worsern Huerto, and William Calvin and the Buckeye lad uncoupled friendships and shot down different lines. Dick Thompson, the quandrom correspondent with as thin a skin as ever covered a squash, played Roscoe for the number one hole, and Roscoe handed him some of that smudge talk for a long-time. All of a sudden my genial thin-skin friend Dick Thompson made a target out little Roscoe. Funny, how the Washington schools make strange hed fellows. You know there was a time when Chase wouldn't let a line of Thompson's stuff get within one block of The Bee office. Now he reproduces Dick's stuff. Why? Why because school conditions have driven all three of these fellows into the same field. Tyler's out in Ohio, away from the din and noise of the 42-cimeter guns, and likely don't know nuthin' at all about the dinged war, but its pancakes to maple syrup if he was here he, Chase, Dick Thompson, and several other use-to-was enemies would be banqueting each other, and singing "There aint no use talkin' that fellow's made us one." Somehow Roscoe has the knack of making friends, and then losing them before you can say "jack rabbit." Now there wasn't any use of conning Dick Thompson when he wasn't go to deal the cards straight. And there wasn't any use of his handing the editor a lemon when he had promised him a box of Huyler's selects. And there wasn't no use of his promison' Tyler he'd annul an order of Principal Williams if he wasn't goin' to do it. That's how Ross gets in bad—promisn'. Now a word about Dick Thompson. Most newspaper fellows have skins as thick as Ringling Bros.' rhinoceros wears, but Dick's got the thinnest skin of any newspaper fellow I ever met. Right clever fellow in many ways too. For the past six months, whenever he can get an audience he's been criticising Ralph Tyler. When the Ohio favorite was in town, Dick was silent on him, but just as soon as The Winchester rifle, of the shotgun policy of the South, fully explains what for, and for what purpose this apprentice of mine, was a member of this vigilant committee in the Parish of Ascension. I know of others who were the big mucker-mucks of the Catholic church, who participated in the lynching of a boy by the name of Bush, who was charged with the offence of supposed rape on a "white" (?) girl. This girl was a Catholic and belonged to a Catholic family. A long time after the lynching of Bush, at the old court house gallery at Donaldsonville, La., the thing almost forgotten, this girl became seriously ill. It became a matter of common talk that, before her death—from tuberculosis—she exonerated "poor" Bush, who, as an innocent, had paid the penalty of death by "Judge Lynch." The father of this girl, through the same manner of common talk in the community, and if I am not mistaken, made known by the Priest, hated very much to die J. W. H. S. US V USV see that the Great Catholic Church, by no fault of her own, it is claimed, furnishes its quota of midnight assassins, of persons of 'colour, and they are as guilty as any other denominations. Now that I have relieved myself of this question, I feel much better as a Catholic for having done so. They with the knowledge, secret knowledge, of the innocence of Bush. He too, it was said, exonerated this "black" boy he got seven or eight hundred miles away from here, Dick started to going. Now I happen to know something about Tyler's erstwhile kindness to Dick, and I'm saying that it comes with bad grace from him to at least knock when the other fellow aint around to get wind of it. Then again, Dick's knockin' of the former presidential appointee is like, to me, a fice trying to stop an engine by getting on the track and barking at it. The dog always gets run over. Now I don't know what made Dick sore, but I did think I heard it said that he felt Tyler kept him out of the 1912 campaign. If he did, he sure ought to send Tyler a remittance every month, for if he had got into that campaign he would have been out of a job now. I never agreed with the ex-auditor in everything, cause I cant agree with no man in everything; I'm sort of contrarywise, don't you know. But I got it might straight that Tyler was the means of about three fellows being in their jobs now cause he opposed invitin' 'em in the campaign of 1912. One of his close friends remarked a few days ago that when the proposition was put up to him by the campaign manager he said, in effect: "You know we aint got no show for winin' this election. We presidential fellows will sure have to go if we lose, and lose we will. But there aint no use layin' the boys under Civil Service liable to dismiss by invitin' 'em in this campaign. If we had a chance to win so we could protect them afterwards, I'd say yes. But we aint." Now I call that pretty, doggone sensible' talk, and Dick Thompson instead of handing Tyler a bunch of sledge hammers ever time he can get a fellow to listen to him, ought to be sendin' him a bunch of for-get-me-nots every market day, you hear me. But getting back to Roscoe, I went off on a tangent cause Dick Thompson. Chase, Tyler, Horner, the Judge and Cobb are now all in accord on the main proposition—that Roscoe ought to have one of the old "57 Varieties" cans tied to him. The trouble has been that most of the fellows what went after Roscoe's scalp had a private grievance, and you know a fellow with a private grievance don't get very far before some sleuth detects what's under his arm. There's been a lot of teachers with a private grievance who strew tacks along for his auto to run over, and mebby Dick Thompson has got one too, though a newspaper manaint expected to have no grievance nohow, no time. But what I arose to remark, it seems that the fight has got past the private grievance stage, and got into the "general public" colume. Nobody regrets the school fight wormen I do, cause there seldom comes any good out of any fight any time until somewhere about the tenth generation. Now take Ed Williams, 'beg pardon, Prof. E. C. Williams—he and Roscoe use to be a pair of Gold Dust twins—did the Simee twin act, and all that sort of thing. But Ed—beg pardon, Prof. E. C. Williams—aint got the same tender, until-death-we-part feelin' for the little Columbia Road lad he use to have. Why, I don't know. Course Roscoe's watchin' the game awful close to see if Coach Thurston crowns Prof. Williams for a place in the king row. But, startin' back where I began, politics may make strange bed fellows, but these Washington schools has got politics beat a block when it comes to making strange occupants of a chinch bug receptical. Doc. Childs will agree with this. COLORED CATHOLIC SPEAKS. Lieut. Carmouch Speaks Out the Bravest Among the Bravest. Editor The Bee: The Frenchman says The truth is very offensive. But Mr. Editor! Do we gain anything by shielding facts on matters of so vital an importance to us as to who participates in the lynching of the colored people South? I do not think ke do, then why should I as a Catholic, or any one else of any other denomination who knows to the con- trary, remain silent when the question is asked, thereby shielding those criminals who, as Catholics, participate in one of the vile and damnable outrages perpetrated against the persons of colour in this country, particularly South. As a catholic, and that makes no difference, who knows some facts, I for one propose to tear, as it were, my mask of delicacy concerning this particular outrage, to ask and answer at the same time, this question. What religious denomination South, Catholic or Protestant, who has NOT more or less some of its "white" (?) members guilty of participating in the lynching, burning at the stake, or shooting up of some of the persons of coloured South? If by some mysterious way or miracle, all the facts could be put on the films of a moving picture machine and shown, Catholic "white" (?) men would be found, if their religion was known, in the pictures as guilty as any one else, and in many instances they would be found as captains or leaders of the lynching mobs. Some of these outrages I particularly know to have occurred in Louisiana: in Ascension, St. James, Assumption, Lafourche and Orleans Parishes, committees of which at least fifty or more per cent of the "white inhabitants" were Catholics. It was not secret or hard matter to know some of the men who participated in these most damnable outrages, and I do know some of them were Catholics too. Who, but persons who never lived in those communities would attempt to deny these facts. In some of these Parishes, at one time, as high as seventy-five per cent were Catholics, and lynching or lynchings have occurred in all of them. In some of these sections too, is where we have found some of the vilest of prejudice perpetrated against the persons of colour. As to whether or not the Great Catholic Church feels itself responsible in these Catholic communities, for such an outrageous condition, it is left entirely to her to say. As to finding any one guilty by law (?) for the crime of lynching "a nlgger" (?) it is foolish to write about it. They are simply cases of no cause of action, and they let it go at that. Of course all of these things occurred prior to my leaving Louisiana in 1902, but, what right have I to think—since the conditions south are growing worse instead of better—that the same things are not occurring now as they did then? Of course they are. Why not? I remember an incident at Donaldsonville, La., when I conducted a general blacksmithing establishment, in which I had a "white" (?) apprentice, a young man about twenty-five years of age, who came to his work one morning with a Winchester rifle he brought there to clean. To my surprise I learned that it was his, mind you, to my personal knowledge this young man, "white" (?) was a Catholic in good standing and who went to Holy Communion every first Sunday of the month. At one time he was an altar boy. His father was a trustee of the same Catholic church we belonged to, there was only one such church in the town. They were members of the Vigilant committee, both father and son. What was the object of the Vigilant committee or Regulators? What for, and for what purpose this Catholic apprentice of mine, and his father too, were members of such a committee, and for what purpose was he in possession of that Winchester rifle? The horrors of the past, and the story of it all is yet fresh in my memory. I tried to shame him by reminding him that he was a Catholic who went to communion every quarter, and that he could not consistently belong to such an organization, to what avail?

Jefferson City, Mo.—A cat that cares for a brood of chickens is the property of Mrs. John P. Gordon, wife of the state auditor. The cat attracted the attention of neighbors some time ago by its peculiar conduct. At first it was thought it was following the chickens around to kill one for a meal. This idea was soon dissipated when day after day the performance was repeated. Then it was observed that the cat attached itself to a brood of late "fryers," now about half grown. It watches over this bunch of chickens with apparent motherly solicitude, follows them about all day and never leaves them until they go to roost for the night. Then the cat returns to the Gordon residence. This story is vouchsed for by all the Gordon neighbors. FINDS TEN POUND NUGGET. Old Prospector Picks Up $3,500 In Mojave Desert Bakersfield, Cal.-Thirty-five hundred dollars' worth of gold in one chunk—a nugget weighing ten and three-quarter pounds—has been found near the head of Red Rock canyon on the Mojave desert by Dave Bowman, an old time placer miner, according to Lance Underwood. Mr. Bowman was not prospecting when he found the nugget, according to Mr. Underwood, but was merely going into the canyon when he saw the great lump of gold. This nugget is very nearly the largest ever found in this vicinity. Mr. Bowman had no scales with which to weigh the gold, but rigged up a balance with a ten pound hammer on one end, and the nugget at the other end proved three-fourths of a pound heavier. GAMELING IN FOOD CAUSES PRICE RISE Cost Increased 14 Per Cent During Past Five Months. London.—The investigation under the chairmanship of the prime minister which the British government is carrying on regarding the rise in the price of food is due to political pressure by the Labor party's action following an elaborate investigation by its own organizations. The government began its sittings after the price of bread had been raised to 15 cents for a four pound loaf, the price of flour being advanced at Bedford to $11 a sack, an increase of $4.50 since the outbreak of the war, and even more at Cambridge and Peterborough, while outs jumped to $7.75 for 650 pounds. It hitherto has been argued that the rise in the price of food was due solely to the law of supply and demand as affected by the war and that the trouble was due to a shrinkage in the sources of supply, by congestion of docks and railways and by a decrease in the number of ships. About 1,200 of the larger vessels of Great Britain had been taken over by the admiralty, while the removal of all German vessels from commerce had made a total withdrawal of at least 3,000. The impossibility of getting shipments from Russia and Roumania and the congestion in discharging steamers at London and Liverpool since the port of Southampton was closed had been declared by the government to be the causes of the high price of food. But the prices steadily advanced even after these difficulties had been met in part, and the Labor party was able to force its demand for a thorough investigation. The average level in food prices for the last five months of 1014 was 14 per cent above that of the first seven months and about 10 per cent higher than in the closing five months of 1013. DELAYED IN TRANSMISSION: Letter Mailed In 1857 Delivered Fifty-eight Years Later. Colorado Springs, Colo.—Nearly fifty-eight years after it was written and posted to him a letter has just been delivered here to Professor James Hutchinson Kerr. The missive was written by Professor E. F. M. Fackel Professor Kerr's former instructor in civil engineering in an eastern school at New London. In March 20, 1857 when Professor Kerr was not quite twenty. He is now in his seventy eighth year Professor Kerr believes the missive was sent to one of the colleges he attended and mislaid until it was for warded here. This Wheat Rabbit Proof. Kansas City. Mo.-One grain of wheat produced 150 heads and approximately 5,000 kernels in a field near Salina, Kan. Another sample of wheat sent in from Salina county was soft wheat from a field of sixty acres. The stand was declared to be "absolutely perfect." There was not a spit in the field. Harvesters did not f. any young rabbits in the field, an usual occurrence. They said the whee actually stood so thick on the ground that rabbits couldn't force their way through it. ARK OF THE LORD IN WICKED HANDS 1 Samuel 4 118—Feb. 21. A Corrupt Priesthood—A Demoralized People—Attempt to Bring God Into the War—The Ark of the Covenant Captured—Same Principle In Operation Today—Tragic Death of Eli and His Two Sons—Which Nations Are In Covenant Relationship With God? "Be ye doors of the Word, and not hearers only, defending your own selves."—Jas. 1:22. SOME twenty years after God's prediction of the calamities to befall Eli and his family, the occurred. In all that time Ell, now ninety-eight years old, had allowed matters to continue in his 'sons' hands, notwithstanding their dishonesty in the things of God, and their immorality and pernicious example. We are not to overestimate the moral and religious conditions of the people during those twenty years, but we may assume that the evil example of the priests, the sons of Eli, had a demoralizing effect. According to God's Covenant with the nation, He was bound to punish them those twenty years, but we may assume that the evil example of the priests, the sons of Eli, had a demoralizing effect. According to God's Covenant with the nation. He was bound to punish them. A fresh invasion of the Philistines took place. The Israelites went out to meet them in battle and were defeated. In their chagrin they looked to God, just as all the nations of Europe today are doing. The Ark of the Covenant. Indeed, the Israelites had more ground for attempting to bring God into the war, for invoking the assistance of religious symbols, etc., than have the warring kingdoms of today; for God had declared that they were His special people, and that He would protect them as long as they would be loyal to Him. On the other hand, the kingdoms of this world have no such Divine promise, have no ground for such expectations of Divine aid. They are falsely styling themselves Christian kingdoms—"Christendom"; whereas they have neither part nor lot with the Lord. He recognizes no nations except Natural Israel of the past and Spiritual Israel of the present—1 Peter 2:9. A Present-Day Parallel. The Israelites doubtless had read how the Ark of the Lord went before them in the Wilderness journey, how it was in the midst of the Jordan when the people crossed dry-shod, and how it was in the procession that marched around Jericho when the walls fell. So they determined to bring the Ark and put it into the battle. Their reasoning apparently was that God would not permit the Ark of the Covenant to be injured or captured, and that hence the victory would be bound to come to Israel. The people forgot that they had been living in violation of their Covenant with God; and that that Covenant called for punishment upon them at the hand of their enemies. They forgot that the two priests were thieves and robbers, garbed as the priests of God; that they were immoral, impure, posing as the representatives of the Divine Holiness. Today, as in the days of Ell's sons, the people shout as they couple the Cause of God with their national projects. Again they forget that God's Cause is under Divine direction, and will prosper best by the permission of a great defeat to all these systems of men, preparing incidentally for the establishment of Messiah's Kingdom, after the Armageddon of the Bible shall have humbled the world and made them ready to accept the new King Immanuel and His Kingdom. There was a great slaughter and a scattering of the Israelites. Eli's two sons were slain. The Ark of God was captured. A swift runner brought the sad, intelligence to Shiloh, where Eli as judge sat upon his high seat in the gate, fearfully remembering the twenty-year-before prediction of disaster. The runner reported to Eli that the battle had gone against the Israelites, that his two sons were slain and that the Ark of the Lord had been captured by the Philistines. When Eli learned that his precious treasure, for which he was guardian by Divine appointment, had been taken by the Philistines, the poor old man fell over in a faint, his chair toppled, his neck was broken. Although faithful at heart until death at ninety-eight, nevertheless he is not without reproof in that he neglected to see that the work on The Death of Eli the Priest. trusted to him was not interfered with by those of his own household. His loyalty to God was not sufficiently great to hinder him from shirking his responsibility. In his character was too much of the spirit of "peace at any price," not enough of that which is prepared to die for righteousness' sake. Israel Different From Other Nations. The lesson taught to God's Covenant people, Israel, the Lord next sent chastisements upon the Philistines, so that they were glad to return the Ark to the people of God. This does not authorize us in supposing that pestilences, etc., are special punishments of God. We must remember that the nation of Israel was in covenant relationship with God and under Divine supervision. JamesH Winslow R'AD WEBB'S BIBLICAL WORKS OF THE BLACK MAN'S PART IN THE BIBLE.

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.

The Bee is confident that the two civil Commissioners of the District of Columbia, with the assistance of the Engineer Commissioner, will give to the people a clean and fair government. There is no doubt but that a change in many of the so-called hold-overs would be a benefit to our local government. The Colored citizens with a population of over ninety thousand have not been given fair consideration at all. Just think of it, no Colored man found to be qualified as an officer until Judge Siddons was made Commissioner. Not since the retirement of ex-Commissioner H. L. West has a Colored citizen been appointed in the Police Department, until Mr. Siddons was appointed. This goes to show that all men are not alike, notwithstanding their political faith. To a great extent every Republican Commissioner, with but on exception, has been inimical to the Colored citizen. The Bee has found that many Democrats in our local government have manifested greater friendship for the Colored employees than many Republicans. In this connection The Bee wants to refer particularly to ex-Auditor Petty. Not a more honest or just man can be found. He is a high-class Southerner and for that reason his coming in contact with Colored people doesn't frighten or deter him. He may have his likes and dislikes, like all Southerners, but since The Bee's acquaintance with him he has been the same kind, fair and genial official and the people would like to see him reinstated to his former position from which he was majestically removed. Ex-Commissioner Macfarland, the Chesterfieldian former head of our local government, a Republican and a Christian, never saw, sufficient qualifications in any of his most competent Colored men under him to elevate them to a position commensurate with ability and standing in the community. Take Mr. David Warner, for instance. The Bee remembers the time when Mr. Petty, the Democrat, suggested him for recorder of deaths, but our Christian Republican Commissioner, Mr. Macfarland, did not think enough of him to promote him. So that, there is nothing in a party's name, but men who possess precepts, that know no man by the color of his skin, if he is qualified and comes up to the standard of true citizenship. It makes no difference how qualified a man is, the water department has never been fair and just enough to elevate a Colored employee higher than a messenger. Take for instance, Mr. Aldridge Lewis, who is the handy man in the water department. The Bee ventures the assertion that there is no branch of work in that department that this young Colored man can not fill. From The Bee's personal knowledge, a former Democratic official in charge of that department recommended him for promotion, because he was worthy and competent, but the so-called Republican engineer commissioner turned him down. There is also young Langston, who takes his manly precepts from his great father. He is entitled to greater consideration. Perhaps if the present board of District Commissioners would have a little shaking up the ninety thousand Colored citizens and tax payers would receive a square deal. ONLY TWO. Aside from the numerous drugstores in this city, there are two and only two. other important stores conducted in the interest of BOOKER WASHINGTON IN POLITICS. The first criticism of Dr. Booker T. Washington, hurled against him by his opponents within the race, was his excursion, nolens vglens, into politics; the recommendation for official preferment, of men of the race. There had, up to that time, been more or less opposition to the meddling in politics by an educator. The minister, especially the Colored minister, had been active, and very much so, in politics, but little was said against it. Politics was long considered the exclusive field of the men who did nothing but work around the polls on election day, for pay—irresponsibles—or hold office. Very few, among our race, seemingly, appeared to understand that active interest in politics, on the part of clean, high class men, whether business men or professional; ecclesiastics or educators, was a right conferred upon them by suffrage, and really proved their interest in the conservation of all that is helpful to the state and the individual, for politics is the science of government; politics is the eminent domain in which all patriotic citizens should evince an interest, and an active interest. Since President Wilson, the former president of Princeton College, one of the very notable educational institutions in the land, entered the political arena, as he had a right to do, the critics of Dr. Washington, on this score, have been robbed of argument to sustain their contention that an educator should remain aloof from politics—be an idiot in all things of vital interest to the public closely associated with legislation and the administration of public office. Governor Brumbaugh of Pennsylvania was an educator; likewise Congressman Fess, of Ohio, and many other white men who before, or since, have elected to actively participate in politics—the science of government. But Colored critics of educators who engage in politics levied no criticism against any of these. The first criticism of Dr. Booke him by his opponents within the race into politics; the recommendation for the race. There had, up to that time, the meddling in politics by an educator Colored minister, had been active, a little was said against it. Politics a field of the men who did nothing but day, for pay—irresponsibles—or hollow race, seemingly, appeared to uncle politics, on the part of clean, high or professional; cecclesiastics or educ them by suffrage, and really provision of all that is helpful to the state is the science of government; politic all patriotic citizens should evince a Since President Wilson, the former one of the very notable educational the political arena, as he had a right on, this score, have been robbed tention that an educator should ridiot in all things of vital interest with legislation and the administr Brumbaugh of Pennsylvania was a Fess, of Ohio, and many other who elected to actively participate in侵ment. But Colored critics of educu no criticism against any of these. But let us see whether Dr. Watt the extent of recommending Colore advancement. Dr. Washington's to the extent of recommending a capable to efficiently discharge the were appointed, resulted in a larger as a race, had ever had before or since of Internal Revenues at New York, Attorney General of the United Sta Judge for the District of Columbia, for the Navy, J.

Cobb, S Attorney, are accepted as pronounced not, and men for whom he stood spot of their offices to the government upon the race? The Bee must be reflected credit for the race, and it of the readers to select them. But let us see whether Dr. Washington's engaging in politics, to the extent of recommending Colored men for office has retarded race advancement. Dr. Washington's activity in politics, at least to the extent of recommending such Colored men as he believed capable to efficiently discharge the duties of the offices to which they were appointed, resulted in a larger and better representation than we as a race, had ever had before or since. Charles W. Anderson, Collector of Internal Revenues at New York, Wm. H. Lewis, former Assistant Attorney General of the United States, Robert H. Terrell, Municipal Judge for the District of Columbia, Ralph W. Tyler, former Auditor for the Navy, J. C. Napier, former Register of the Treasurer, Whitfield McKinlay, former Collector of Customs for the District of Columbia, and James A. Cobb, Special Assistant U. S. District Attorney, are accepted as pronounced Washington men, but they are not, and men for whom he stood sponsor. In administering the duties of their officiies to the government superiors did they reflect credit upon the race? The Bee must confess, only three of this bunch reflected credit for the race, and it will leave them to the judgement of the readers to select them. and by Colored citizens, and they are one first-class shoe store and a gentlemen's furnishing store. The former is conducted by Mr. Ware and the latter by Mr. Harlam. There is no excuse for the ninety thousand Colored people in this city to ignore two of the only stores of this character, especially when they keep the same and in many instances better goods than any other stores of like characters. The questions may be asked why The Bee takes such interest in these stores? The Bee takes an interest in all enterprises of this character because they are new ventures among the Colored people. In the second place, The Bee wants to see whether there is any race pride among the Colored people in the District of Columbia. Both of these gentlemen have started enterprises that are new to the Colored people and from a close observation by The Bee, it is convinced that they know their business and will give value received. The Bee ventures the assertion that not five Colored professional men in this city patronize either place. The Bee will further venture the assertion that not five Colored teachers in the public schools go to either one of these places. They would rather, go to places where they are "Jim Crowed" than patronize places of their own. There is but little race pride among Colored people. Those who are trying to do something are either being criticised or abused. This class will impede any worthy enterprise. The apologetic Colored man may generally be found holding some public office. He is too much of a coward to go through the world on his own responsibility. These Colored men who are in business have never robbed their people. They have never been connected with building associations and banks which have been ruinous to the masses or destructive to the poor. The advice of The Bee is, let the masses get together and do something. "JDY CROW DEAD." The Bee that is always alert in the interest of the people wishes to say to its Colored Americans that there is no earthly chance for the so-called "Jim Crow" car bill to pass Congress. In the first place a majority of the democrats in the House will not vote for its passage. In the second place the District will not have another day before adjournment of this present Congress. If the bill comes up at all it will be in the next Congress. Thirdly and lastly, Congress would have to reverse itself before any bill of such a character could pass. So let all indignation meetings die out and "Jim Crow" agitation. Call all meetings off. THE gentleman from Mississippi on a point of order had eliminated from the District of Columbia appropriation bill an appropriation of one hundred and one thousand Peter T. Washington, hurled against me, was his excursion, nolens vglens, for official preferment, of men of some, been more or less opposition to the editor. The minister, especially the most and very much so, in politics, but was long considered the exclusive work around the polls on election office. Very few, among our understand that active interest in a class men, whether business men, educators, was a right conferred upon their interest in the conservate and the individual, for politics is the eminent domain in which an interest, and an active interest.

In administering the duties of superiors did they reflect credit confess, only three of this bunch will leave them to the judgement Tuition is charged each and every student before he or she is admitted. Every student pays a board bill. Now kindly inform The Bee the whereabouts of the money paid in by the students, not counting the money that been appropriated by Congress every year. The Medical department is self-sustaining and if The Bee mistakes not, Dr. McNeal said to the editor of this paper last year, that the Medical department would not accept a cent from Congress. There has been a change of heart and conscience since then, as is evidenced by an item in the appropriation bill for the Medical department. Will Dr. McNeal kindly explain as The Bee has no disposition to misquote or misrepresent him. Perhaps, when Dr. McNeal made this declaration he did not anticipate any war in Europe, dollars for Howard University. This act is an evidence of the meanness of the representative from Mississippi. This act is one among the many impediments thrown across the path of progress of the Colored Americans by the Democratic party. If there had been a Thirkield in the president's chair of Howard University no such objections would have been made by the gentleman from Mississippi or any one else. The Best means no reflection on the present incumbent of Howard University because he is a great, good man, but not a politician. What it takes to move Congress, Dr. Thirkield had it when he was president; the name of Howard University was heard from one end of the globe to the other. There was a time when Howard University supported itself. COLORED SCHOOLS COLLORED SCHOOLS. It is indeed important to the people in this city to place the Colored schools under the management of one head. The bad condition of these schools demand that an immediate change be made. The persistency of certain members of the Board of Education to sustain the revolutionary methods of certain teachers is appalling. Why the relief is not given the Colored Normal School is beyond understaffing. Dr. Thurston is doing all in his power to remedy the evil that exists in the Colored schools, but he must have a Board of Education that is in harmony with his policies. The Colored schools are in a deplorable condition and the sooner a change is made in this administration the better it will be for all concerned. RECORDER OF DEEDS. The Bee this week publishes an excerpt from the Daily Post, giving a list of candidates for the office of recorder of deeds. Every candidate whose name appears in this list must have assured the President that he was a good white or Colored Democrat or that he supported the Democratic ticket during the campaign of 1912. This list should be cut out and framed for future information. It will be remembered that Judge E. M. Hewlet withdrew his application and declared that he would not accept the office if it were tendered him. He is the only official among the Colored applicants to so declare himself. If The Bee's information is correct a new recorder of deeds will be appointed, notwithstanding Dutton's desire to hold on. OHIO Those who refuse to give Ohio credit for the fight and defeat of that imfamous Immigration bill don't know what they are talking about. Senator Green never lost a meeting from the time he arrived in this city until he departed. He did more actual work than any five Negroes and The Bee knows Ohio always does the right thing at the right time and Senator Green was the man on the job. 91 WANT TO BE RECORDER. President Has Long List of Applicants for Johnson's Place. Since Resignation Last Summer of Head of Office Deputy Dutton Has Been caring for Deeds Acceptably. Only 91 persons, have signified, directly or indirectly, their willingness to hold the office of recorder of deeds for the District of Columbia. A list of the names is now before the President. No ladies are in the list. The District has been without a recorder since last summer when Lincoln Johnson, colored, resigned following a gentle hint from the White House. Since then Deputy Recorder Dutton has been in charge of the office, and the general impression seems to be that he is taking the best possible care of it as there have been no complaints. Following are the names of those who want the job: J. R. Anderson, J. E. Brodie, Norris B. Clarke, Alfred B. Cosey, J. J. Crane, Johnson S. Cravens, John W. Davis, J. A. Dickson, Burton T.

Your life's lonely way. The evening before, which she fell asleep over. When her eyelids became numb. She was a willing creature No one could understand. Just how her life was blighted. Or why she seemed so sad. Perhaps in some bright days gone by. A lover she has had. Who filleted her when she was young, That's why she seems so sad. Awake dear one MARCH 21ST. A Day of Prayer for Better Health Conditions. Tuskegee Institute, Ala.-In response to numerous calls for suggestions as to how National Negro Health Week may be observed, the following for the first day—Sunday, March 21st—has been issued by the Executive Committee of the National Negro Business League, Dr. Booker T. Washington, President. Specific instruction for observing the other days of Health Week will be published in booklet form and distributed at an early date. In order that the people may enter heartily into the movement for better health and to the end that the program may be effectively carried out, it is suggested that the ministers of all the colored churches throughout the nation, set aside the Third Sunday in March—the 21st—as a DAY OF PRAYER for better health conditions and that each minister arrange to preach on this day a special health sermon to his congregation. In addition to this, each minister is requested to arrange, wherever possible, appropriate services which shall include a discussion of local health conditions and any other matter which in his judgement, will make 'the Clean-up Week a success. CLEAN-UP COMMITTEE—It is further suggested that each community have a Clean-up Committee which shall investigate the conditions which menace the health of their community, arrange the program to suit these conditions and then see that the community is thoroughly and systematically cleaned. In cities and communities where there is designated a date other than March 21st to 27th for general cleaning, it may be well for the colored people in such cities and communities to arrange for their cleaning to be done on that date. These suggestions are submitted for cities and communities where no Clean-up Week has been designated. WHY AN ENTIRE WEEK—An entire week is set apart, so that in case of cloudy or rainy weather weather, the first fair days may be used to do the cleaning. AMPHIONS SCORE BIG HIT By special request, the Amphibians sang the new setting to Tipperary, "It's the wrong, wrong way to treat the Negroes," at the John Wesley church last week, the occasion being an address by Prof. Pickens, and they were accorded a great ovation, and copies of the song are much in demand. Preparations for the twenty-fourth annual reception, March nineteenth, by this popular organization are well under way, and will doubtless be attended by many of our best-known citizens: The club deserves a liberal public support. J. Henry Lewis, the organizer, has been continuously at its head. PLANS 40 DAY'S PRAYER AGAINST JIM CROW BILL. Colored Baptist Alliance Also Would Engage in Period of Fasting Engage in Period of Fasting. A resolution asking all ministers of the gospel and other "leaders of the people" to call their constituents together for forty days of fasting and prayer against the adoption of the bill to introduce "jim crow" cars in the District was yesterday adopted by the Colored Baptist Evangelic Alliance of America, meeting at the Cosmopolitan Baptist Church. The resolution was offered by Rev. Simon P. W. Drew, president of the alliance, and was seconded by Dr. T. A. Johnston. It denounces the bill recently introduced in Congress by Representative Frank Clark of Florida as unwise and unchristianlike in motive and as an insult to every colored citizen and a disgrace to our country. The resolution asks that citizens of the United States sign a petition protesting against the bill of Representative Clark and forward the same to Dr. Drew. Ministers who spoke in favor of the resolution were Dr. T. A. Johnston, Pittsburg, Pa.; Dr. W. E. Robinson, Sacramento, Cal.; Dr. A. Mark, New Jersey; Dr. G. W. Bailey, New York; Dr. L. J. Pollard, Youngstown, Ohio; Dr. A. B. Callis, Baltimore; Dr. R. G. Drew of Massachusetts; Dr. George W. Drew, Illinois, and Dr. Simon P. W. Drew. Rev. Johnson will preach at the Cosmopolitan Baptist church from February seventeenth to March seventeenth. The Rev. Johnson is a great evangelist. FAIRMONT HEIGHTS, NEWS. Rev. Chestnut preached at the M. E. Church and administered the Holy Communion on the First Sunday. The pastor, B. F. Myers, is doing an excellent work. Prof. Savoy and his assistants at the Burrille School are doing much good. The supervisor attended the schools of Oxen Hill District February 15, 1915. He examined the schools, and the pupils did much credit to their teachers, Miss Maude Marlow and Miss Mary E. Waltare. Mrs. Mary H. Smith, with a delegation of Citizens, went to Upper Marlboro, Md., February 16, for the purpose of having a new school house erected at school No. 2. District 5. The meeting was a success, and the essentials will be made. Hon. Velgil M. Lawrence is carefully looking into the matter of school extension of the country. If the money is available, it will be possible to extend the school term. POMPEY'S FEAST When Caesar was ordered to lay down his arms and his refusal to do so Pompey prepared a feast to which all the dignitaries of Rome were invited. When Caesar crossed the Rubicon and while Pompey was making preparations for its feast over Caesar's defeat, Pompey on his banquetters fled and Caesar enjoyed the feast. Moral: Feasts that are prepared for yourself are more or less enjoyed by others. LOOK THEM OVER Mr. Foster, he can tell you how to dye and look bright in your clothes. Mr. Robert Harlan, the You street fashion plate. Call and he can tell you how to dress well in your shirts, collars and other things. Mr. Ware has the shoes that fit. If you don't believe it drop in and inspect his goods. Dr. Board is on up-to-date druggist. What he dosen't know of drugs is not worth knowing. Dr. Will Davis is the old reliable. He is at the same old stand. Dr. Moss is preparing for a sensation. Keep your eyes on this little Napoleon in drugs. The most accomplished female shoe saleswoman may be seen at Ware's stoe store, 11th and You, the only female in the business. She does it with so much ease and diplomacy. HOWARD DENTAL PARLORS. The greatest acquisition to the dental profession is the Howard Dental Parlors, seventh and Tea streets, northwest. The people will meet first class and competent dentists, and accomplished lady attendants. Don't fail to visit this up-to-date Dental Parlor. Remember the date. March the eighth, the famous William singers will appear at the Mount Carmel Baptist Church, 3rd and Eye streets N, W.-Adv. EBBITT CAFE CHANGE Robert T. Murray, J r., Discharged. Colored Walters Rejoice and Sorrow. Robt. T. Murray, Jr., in charge of the Ebbit House Cafe has been discharged. it seems that Murray had won the displeasure of every colored waiter in the Cafe by his unfair treatment towards his men under him. A white man has been put in his place, which seems to satisfy the colored waiters. They say that the colored head was too domineering and unfair. The association that is connected with the Cafe is one of strongest in the city. NOT CANDIDATE. Attorney R. R. Horne states that he is not a candidate for the office of recorder of deeds and would not have a office if one should be tendered him. NOTES ON RACIAL PROGRESS. Furnished by the National Negro Business League. According to James Reese Europe, the eminent Negro-American composer the tango and other modern dances had their origin among the colored people. At the last meeting of the Board of Directors of the Standard Life Insurance Company of Atlanta, Ga., B. J. Davis, editor of the Independent, was elected a member of the Board. The East Tennessee News is conducting a spirited subscription contest with a $350.00 piano as the first prize. Independence Heights, a suburb of Houston, Texas, has been incorporated. It has a colored mayor, G. O. Burgess, and two colored commissioners. According to a recent statement of J. C. Lindsay, publicity agent of the Savannah (Georgia) Local Negro Business League, the six Negro Insurance companies represented in that city paid out to Negroes of Savannah for office rent $1,109.00; to 153 workers in salaries and commission, $66,798.45; and Negro policy holders, $55,086.65; or a total of $123,175.10.

"Yes, dear, I am being looked after by the artists at the People's Barber Shop at 1916 1-2 14th st. N. W. They are great." MORRIS WILL NEVER SIGN ANOTHER PAPER Indorsed Note Thinking It Was Only a Marriage License. Ellicottville.. N. Y. — One evening about three months ago a modestly dressed gentleman dropped in at the home of H. J. Morris, a farmer living near this village, and easily imparted the information that he was a minister. It developed after some conversation had ensued that he was of the same faith as Morris. He was accordingly invited to stay all night and accepted the invitation after offering many apologies for his intrusion. The evening was well spent when a knock was heard at the door, and Mrs. Morris admitted a young man and a woman, entire strangers to her, inquired as to whether a minister was staying there. Upon being told that such was the case they expressed a desire to be married by him as soon as possible, at the same time intimating that opposition on the part of the bride to be's father was the cause of their unseemly haste. The minister did not seem anxious to marry the young couple at first, but finally consented if Morris and his wife would sign the marriage certificate as witnesses. They readily agreed to this, and the minister performed the ceremony and sent the couple on their way rejoicing. The next morning he bid the farmer and his wife goodly, expressing many thanks for their hospitality. Recently Morris received notice from a bank in a neighboring city that a note inked by himself and wife was due and requesting that he give the matter his immediate attention. He paid little attention to it at the time, thinking a mistake had been made, but later when he called at the bank he found a note drawn for $250 with his own and his wife's signatures on the back. Instantly he recalled the minister's visit and the wedding incident and realized that the marriage certificate was only a blind and that a clever trick had been played upon him by the so called minister and his accomplices. Morris is out his $250 and also a great deal of confidence in mankind as the result of the "minister's" visit. HARLAN'S Why go elsewhere when the Colored people have a, first-class furnishing store. Everything is first class. Give him a call. The bar room blunt who endeavored to explain Mould last week may be able to tell you how money passes through a bank in other people's pockets in the absence of a cashier, or perhaps he may tell you how to charge a fee for services that are never rendered. Perhaps he may be called upon to explain. Richardson's S. P. Cough Balsom. That hacking cough, scoreness in the chest, winter colds. It is a sure cure.

The doctor said that for six thousand years men and women have been dying, but thus far none are in heaven and none in hell, but would be after thé resurretion. At.7:30 he preached from the, subject “Hell and it's certainties” and surely he did present an ugly and fearful description of hell.

Beef Cattle, Milk Cows, Swine and Horses All Show Increase. ‘Washington.—For the first time ta many years information collected by the United States department of agri culture shows that all classes of live stock in the United States are iacreas- ing {n numbers. Thus the real.facts, is polnted out, contradict reports that prices of meat and shoes would rise to} unprecedented Sgures in the immediate future. It has been sald that 2 govern ment statisticlan predicted meat at 50 cents a pound and shoes at $10 a pair within the next two years. Such a prediction, the real government statis- -ticlans say, {8 unwarranted. Jan. 1 the number of beef cattle showed an increase of 34 per cent over the number 4 year ago and an actual Increase of 1,217,000 head. Hitherto the number of beef cattle in the United States his declined steadily since 1910. There are also more milk cows in the country than last year, the increase being 2.5 per cent, or 525,000. Swine showed the greatest increase of all classes—9.6 per ceut. Jan. 1, 1914, there were 58,905,000 swine in the country; Jan. 1, 1915, 64,613,000. ‘The prediction of fifty cent meat and ten dollar shors was accompanied by the declaration that France alone has taken from America nearly 300,000 horses within the last five months and that the other countries at war have drawn upon our resources in the same proportion. ‘The facts are that more horses were on the farms of the Unit- ed States Jau. 1. 1915, than there were a year before, the increase being 233, / 000 head, or 1.1 per cent. Instead of. France haviuz taken 200.000 horses from us the total exports since the war began have been iueh less than 100,- 000, and likely not over 75,000. Since there are approsimately | 25,000,000 horses in the United States, the drain on account of the war fs not consider ed alarming. ADMIRAL OUTLINES GERMAN NAVAL PLANS Thinks England Means to Dic- fate Peace Terms Wilh Fleat, Berlin, Germany.—Grand Admiral von Koester, president of the German Navy league, In an address ut Kiel univer- sity discussed the considerations gov- erning the part that fs to be played by the Germ:n navy in the war, He sald that the relutive strength of the Ger- man ileet compared to the Anglo- Freneh-Itussian fleet was perhaps 1 to 4. ‘The British, he added, perhaps esti- mated German lust for battle so highly that they lind sald to them- selves, “Some day they will come, and wwe shall be able to asoume battle in a situation favorable for us."

BEGAN FIGHT 20 YEARS AGO Premier Borden Insists That Dominion Shall Be Consulted on Foreign Affairs—Conference With This End In View Is Likely to Be Held In London Next Summer—History of Movement. Ottawa, Canada. - The announcement that an imperial conference is likely to be held in London next summer, and that the project has been the subject of correspondence between the British and Canadian governments, is regarded by Canadians generally as giving considerable significance to the persistent references in Sir Robert Borden's recent speeches to Canada's unsatisfactory status in the British empire in respect of foreign affairs. In the first speech which the prime minister delivered after the outbreak of the war he made it clear that in his opinion the war and the various issues which it raised emphasized the unde- Photo 1 Association. sirabat of some overseas dominions being whot the slightest voice or influence in the management of the foreign affairs of the empire. This point he has reiterated, emphasized and elaborated on in a series of recent addresses, and his utterances have been sympathetically reviewed by the London Times and other powerful organs of British opinion. This is taken to mean here, and the London papers accept the same interpretation, that at the next imperial conference, no matter when it is held, Sir Robert Borden will press for a solution of the question of overseas "voice and influence", which would give to the king's subjects in Canada as they increase in numbers and develop in strength higher duties and wider imperial responsibilities. Ever since he became prominent in Canadian politics, nearly twenty years ago, Sir Robert Borden has kept before him the ideal of the Dominion with a voice in the determining of the issues of peace and war for the whole empire. It was not, however, until 1910 that his stand attracted more than Canadian attention. When in that year Sir Wilfrid Laurier introduced his naval bill, Mr. Borden, who was then leading the Conservative opposition, strongly took the stand that the question of control was not sufficiently definite to suit his views of what should be the relation of Canada to the foreign policy of the empire. Discussing the question in a now famous speech in the house of commons, he said: "I think the question of Canada's cooperation upon a permanent basis in imperial defense involves large and wide considerations. If Canada and the other dominions of the empire are to take their part as nations of this empire in the defense of the empire as a whole, shall it be that we, contributing to that defense of the whole empire, shall have absolutely as citizens of this country no voice whatever in the councils of the empire touching the issues of peace and war throughout the empire? I do not think that such would be a tolerable condition. I do not think the people of Canada would for one moment submit to such a condition." That was in 1910. The following year saw the defeat of the Laurier administration and Mr. Borden in Great Britain consulting the admiralty as to the best means by which Canada could contribute to the effective fighting forces of the empire. Again, however, he brought strong pressure to bear upon the imperial government to arrive at some solution which would give Canada a greater voice in imperial problems. Another time he said: "Those who are or who become responsible for the empire's defense must in the very nature of things have some voice in that poll which shapes the issue of peace and of war. I would like you to understand that Canada does not propose to be an adjunct even of the British empire." KISSED, HE SUES FOR $1,500. Man, With Wife at Theater, Objects to Ossulatory Offering. Washington.—Damages in the sum of $1,500 because he was kissed by a chorus girl in the presence of his wife while at a theater are asked in a suit brought in the District supreme court by C. Mason Griffin. A member of a theatrical company is alleged to have forced her osculatory offerings on Mr. Griffin, who claims in his bill that the act caused him "great mental pain and anguish" and made him a subject of ridicule. Mr. Griffin ayers that during one of the acts "certain ladies, whose names are unknown to the plaintiff," left the stage and passed down the alsles and that one of them "did assault the plaintiff with intent to kiss plaintiff, that said plaintiff attempted to push the said young lady away, that said young lady did nevertheless continue to assault said plaintiff and said young lady did kiss the plaintiff against the will of said plaintiff and that plaintiff did no act to encourage this assault." STORK SAVÉS DAD FROM JAIL Unemployed, Was on Trial Charged With Stealing When It Came. Chicago.—It was a mite of a girl baby that saved Power Rokoezure from a possible jail sentence for stealing six potatoes. The man had walked Chicago's streets for work for eighteen months. His wife did the same thing until recently. Rokoezure was in court charged with stealing the potatoes from the railroad yards. "Are you married?" asked Judge Caverly. "Yes. We have one little girl," replied Rokoezure. "How old?" asked the court solicitsly. "About five hours," said Rokoezure. "Case dismissed. Congratulations," said the judge, who then ordered his own grocer to "take some things out to the new little girl." MILLIONS OF FEET OF GAS GO TO WASTE Indians Cook With It and Keep Warm In Zero Weather. Edmonton, Alberta, B. N. W.-The Pelican Portage gas gusher, 170 miles north of Edmonton, Alberta, has given off daily for sixteen years an average of 4,000,000 feet of natural gas. The well was struck in 1893 and has never shown signs of diminishing. Attempts made to cap it have proved futile, the enormous pressure, some 600 pounds to the square inch, blowing off all valves. At one time a company was formed to pipe the gas to Edmonton, but was refused a franchise. Recently public sprited men subscribed $10,000 to drill for gas near the city's limits. They struck a flow about equal to the daily output of the Pelican. This will be piped to Edmonton, and, now that the venture has proved successful, the men who furthered it will be reimbursed by the city. So it appears the great gusher at the Pelican is doomed to waste its unestimated millions. The only beneficiaries from it are the men of two oil drilling outlits in the vicinity who have piped a line from the gusher to their workings. Indians occasionally camp in the neighborhood, and as the gas seeps through the ground they merely heap up a pile of stones over some crevice, touch a match and cook their simple food. It is always warm near the blaze even in below zero weather, so that men sleep about it in the balmlest of alr, while a few hundred feet beyond is bitter cold. TOWN HAS CIVIC SECRETARY And Miss Wilson Sends a Letter Congratulating the Citizens.

"I.believe." wrote Miss Wilson, "that the step you have taken tonight will be far reaching in its effects. It is comparable to the action of that other Wisconsin city, Sauk City, which gained national commendation when it made the school house its civic headquarters by placing the ballot box there, and officially adding the functions of the old New England clerk to that of school principal." SICK SLEEPER DIES. He Had the African Disease For Which Doctor Knew No Cure. Tewksbury. Mass.—The first case of African "sleeping sickness" ever recorded in Massachusetts has resulted fatally. The victim, Isorla Nunas, native of the Cape Verde islands, died at the Tewksbury State infirmary. His periods of sleep extended from four to five hours, with a waking interval of from fifteen minutes to an hour. He begged Dr. Howard Tuttle, the infirmary physician, to send him to his Cape Verde house, as the natives of the islands could cure him. Dr. Tuttle, who found that no cure for this disease is known, spent his time making Nonas' last days comfortable and studying the case. The National Religious Training School, Durham, N.C.

"I often noticed that the President was punctiliously polite and considerate of those who appeared to be of humble estate—and the more evidently needy a person seemed the more immediate and kind was his attention. If a laborer came to him or a woman in distress they were given audience before those more prosperous looking." (Mrs. James S. Delano on the "Home Life of Abraham Lincoln.") There's a call for a Lincoln in this trying age With the heart of a lion and the head of a sage. Who'll say that real justice is not just a phrase To lower some people and others upraise. But a man like Lincoln you'll seldom find But once in a thousand years. There's need for a Lincoln firm, true and strong For the foes are many and the fight will be long. For the freedmen's freedom is being beset Their feet are entangled in race hatred's dragnet. Their most sacred rights are being taken away Their foes are oppressing them day after day. And they're praying the Lord a Lincoln to send In less than thousand years. Oh! for a Lincoln to uplift his voice And cause the hearts of the oppressed to rejoice. To pick out the flaws and point out the blame To call those race haters and put them to shame. To tell them that black men tho humble they be Are all human beings and all "must be free." Tis sad just to think that a Lincoln may come But once in a thousand years. There's a dearth in the land for a Lincoln today For the freedmen's rights are being taken away. The works of Great Lincoln are being undone. The men of the South from the White House down There's a crying need for a Lincoln right now, much Less than a thousand years. I know a Captain as White as his name With the spirit of a Lincoln tho not his great fame. Who honors true merit no matter what race Who judges the man not the color of his face. Who believes in uplifting and not pulling down Who gives you a smile instead of a frown. But you're lucky to meet with men like him Once in a thousand years Once in a thousand years. Our Lincoln has gone to a happier place. We call him ours tho not of our race. We call him ours for the good he's done We call him ours for the freedom won; For the great Good Lincoln can but be The Ideal of all men who would be Free. And we thank God for sending A. Lincoln to us Once in a thousand years. JAMES CONWAY JACKSON. *Captain A. B. White, veteran of the civil War. PARAGRAPHIC The Negro population of California is 21,645. Georgia is 1,176,987.

Buffalo, N. Y. February 14.—Pastor Russell is here today. We report one of his addresses from the text, "At the name of Jesus every knee shall bow and every tongue confess, to the glory of God." (Philippians 2:10, 11). He said in part: PASTOR RUSSELL Days of a thousand years each the world of mankind has been experiencing a reign of Sin and Death. Physicians, both physical and moral, have been unable to effect a cure. God alone is able to roll away the curse which He Himself Imposed, and to give mankind His blessing instead. In the past we have been so intent on following our own sectarian schemes and theories that we have neglected the proper study of the Bible. Indeed, not until our day has such a study been possible for the masses. Only now do they have the Word of God in their possession in convenient form in every family, and only now is education so general as to permit all to read, all to study, all to know the good things of the Divine promises. The creeds of the Dark Ages did indeed din intoour ears the message of the curse. Ye, they distorted it and made it a message of eternal torture; whereas the Scriptures declare that "the wages of sin is death"—not eternal torment. In our darkness we mistranslated and misinterpreted God's Word to our own confusion, swallowing also some interpolations without proper scrutiny. No wonder that we were nauseated by those creeds! No wonder that the intelligent portion of humanity was in danger of being driven into infidelity—away from God and from His Book, which we misunderstood and misrepresented! Bible students are arousing from their sleep and finding that they have long suffered from nocturnal hallucinations. The true Message of the Word of God is spreading, and with it goes increase of faith, together with joy, peace and godliness. Foregleams of the New Day. We have all noted the fact that ours is the most wonderful day of earth's history. Our eyes open wide as we note the contrast between the blessings which surround us and those enjoyed by our fathers. Surely we are all amazed at what we see of progress in invention of labor-saving machinery, of educational arrangements, of improvement in stock-breeding, in horticulture, etc. We reflect further that with the progress of invention the necessity of arduous labor and sweat of face for the daily bread will soon be at an end; and the necessary leisure, conveniences and comforts which will permit every man to be a nobleman will soon be available to all. What do these things mean? Why have they come suddenly upon us in one generation? yea, and give no indication of slacking, but rather of progressing to still greater wonders! What is the explanation of all this? The Bible alone gives the reply to these queries. It explains to us the meaning of the reign of Sin and Death which we and our forefathers have shared. It tells us that our sorrows, aches, pains, and weaknesses—mental, moral and physical—are all the results of sin—of the sin which Father Adam entailed upon us by the laws of heredity for the six great Days of a thousand years each, already past. Then to our astonishment the Bible opens the door of the future and bids us look abroad and see the better Day which God promises. It explains that He has been giving us lessons respecting the exceeding sinfulness of sin, but that all the while He has sympathized with and loved His creatures. It tells us that as a beginning of the Divine purpose of rolling away the curse and of giving instead Divine blessings, Jesus came into the world and died for Adam and his race, "the Just for the unjust." to cancel their judicial obligations—the death penalty upon them—and thus to give them an opportunity in God's due time to return to their former estate, to all that Adam lost—to the perfection which was his when he was in the image of God, and to all that was his in his glorious estate—Paradise. That Day Has Come. Chronologically we are already in the great Seventh Day, or Thousandyear Sabbath; we are already forty years into that great Day. This fact explains the blessings which are ours and which are coming to us increasingly. This progress will continue throughout the great Thousand-year Sabbath of Messiah's Kingdom. The Bible promises that the Messiah's Reign shall bring blessings to every creature—not only to the living, but to the dead; for "all that are in the graves shall hear the voice of the Son of God and shall come forth."—John 5:28, 29, R. V. All must be given a full opportunity to come into harmony with the Creator and to attain perfection and everlasting life. Only by personal, wilful, intelligent sin can any one's blessings be turned into the second curse of God, the Second Death, from which there will be no redemption. Inddentally let us note that the coming of those blessings is, in one sense, premature, in that they have come to us before the establishment of the Messianic Kingdom. Consequently, instead of being happier because of these favors, the world is more unhappy, more discontented, than ever. The Scriptures show that this discontent will culminate in a short, sharp period of anarchy, from which the world will be rescued by the establishment of Messiah's Kingdom. The permission of the light and blessings of our day, in advance of Messiah's Rule, the Creator intends shall teach humanity a great lesson respecting their own fallen condition and their need of the very help which God is providing in Christ. None shall have the opportunity of erroneously supposing that God's blessings, coming to unregenerate hearts, will make them thankful and happy. The new heart is necessary to real happiness. We also incidentally see that if God had sent or permitted the light of our day with its blessings a thousand years earlier, then the discontent of humanity would have culminated in anarchy thousands sooner—and before the Divinely arranged time for the establishment of Messiah and His Bride, the Church, in glory for the ruling, blessing and uplifting of humanity. Truth Discerned Aids Faith. As we gradually come to realize that we are living in the dawning of the time for the long-promised blessing, this Sabathi Bay's earth when the curse shall fall away. It gives us a fresh interest in all the affairs of the present life, as well as in those features of the Diting Plan which are yet future! The knowledge makes life worth living. Millions of people live a treadmill existence, unworthy of themselves and joyless, because they have not come into the family of God and have not been taught to understand the deep things of His gracious purposes. The first step is an acknowledgment of the Creator and a consecration of life to Him, and then an application of our hearts to know His will, in order that we may do it. One day of such living is worth more than a year of the aimless meandering common to the masses. All who have entered into this blessing should rejoice therein. All who have not done so should seek the Door, Christ, and be glad to walk the narrow way, following His footsteps into grace and peace Divine. We may indeed rejoice in the lessening of the sweat of face coming to mankind. In the dawning of this New Day. We may indeed rejoice in the greater spread of knowledge to every class. We may indeed rejoice in the more comfortable housing, feeding and clothing of our race. We may indeed praise the Day which is ushering in these blessings and which, through irrigation canals and artesian wells, scientific study and teachers, books and newspapers, is making the wilderness to blossom as the rose and many blades of grass to grow where one alone grew previously, bringing increased fruitfulness. But much is to be desired still—much that we cannot accomplish for ourselves. We need an outside influence, an outside power—the very one which the Word of God declares is about to take control—Messiah's Kingdom. Our blessings thus far are not drawing the masses nearer to God—not making them more thankful, more holy, more reverential, more loving. On the contrary, we are becoming more strifeful, more self-willed, than any previous generation—less inclined as a world than ever before to worship and reverence the God of all grace—less inclined to believe that there is such a Being at all. At the present rate of growth of irreverence, it would seem as though the time might soon come when no knee would bow and no tongue confess, to the glory of God. "As I Live, Saith the Lord." But here we look to God to see what provision He has made for present conditions; and as we look, our hearts are cheered. We have the Divinely solemn declaration that the full end of the reign of Sin and Death has come. And we have outlined in God's Word proofs that we are now living in the time when that new Reign of Right-ousness shall be inaugurated. We have prayed for it with more or less of faith all our lives: "Thy Kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth, even as it is done in Heaven." Permit not faith to let go her hold; the Word of God cannot fail. As He is bringing to us the temporal blessings promised in His Word and appropriate to this time—the New Dispensation—let us trust Him for every other feature of His promised blessing. He who has begun the good work is able to complete it. If He has promised and has sworn to this Promise, that all the families of the earth shall be blessed in Abrham's Seed, surely we may rely upon it. If we see at present only the Spiritual Seed of Abraham in full harmony with God through Christ, and they not glorified, let us wait patiently for the Lord, knowing that He will fulfil His promises in due time. The Church, the Elect, are indeed the Spiritual Seed of Abraham. This class, as the Bride of Christ, must be completed and must be united to their Redeemer by the change of the First Resurrection before they will be qualified to share with Him the great work of blessing the Natural Seed of Abraham. -Galations 3:8, 16:29. The completion and glorification of the Church will mark the time for the establishment of the Messianic Kingdom. Then will begin the pouring out of the Divine blessing and the removal of the curse. Satan will be bound for a thousand years. The knowledge of God will gradually fill the whole earth. The Natural Seed of Abraham will be the first to receive the Restitution blessings—to return to the image and likeness of God in the flesh, and to have returned to them Paradise conditions and Divine favor. The ancient saintly ones of the Jewish race, we are assured, shall be made princes in all the earth for the correction of their brethren, Natural Israel, and for the instruction and assistance of the people of every nation, kindred and tongue—the living and the dead. Paradise Restored. Rapidly the knowledge of the glory of God will fill the whole earth. Corrections in righteousness will be meted out to all not doing their very best to come into harmony with the Divine Law. Blessed rewards of increasing perfection of mind and body will gradually come to the willing and obedient in that Day. The wilful evil-doers shall be cut off in the Second Death. Then, as a result, before the thousand years of Messiah's Kingdom shall expire, every knee shall bow, to the glory of God. Meantime, also, the blessings of Paradise will be coming to the earth as a whole. God will make the place of His feet glorious. (Isahal 60:13; 66:1.) Jesus will see of the travail of His soul and be satisfied. (Isahal 53:10, 11). All those who have suffered for righteousness' sake during the reign of Sin and Death will be more than compensated therefor in the blessings and joys of the New Dispensation. The knowledge of the glory of God shall fill the whole earth. The glorious Divine character will be made manifest, not only to angels, but to men. The infinitude of God's Love, Justice, Wisdom and Power may then be seen by all; whereas today, under the reign of Sin and Death, with minds beclouded by the errors instilled by the, Prince of Darkness, the opposite condition—darkness—covers the earth, and gross darkness the heatheen. What a glorious consummation is be fore us! What lengths and breadths of human possibility in perfection we see with the eye of faith! Man was made in the image and likeness of his Creator, and the earth was provided to be his everlasting home. The curse that has rested upon the earth and its king has brought both to angels and to men valuable lessons, which perhaps could not have been learned under any other process of instruction. The result will be glorious, as described by the Master Himself. There shall be no more, sighting, no more curse there, nor sorrow nor pain nor any more dying; for all the things of sin and death will have passed away. He who sits upon the Throne will make all things new.—Revelation 21:4. 5. The Prophet Isaiah declares that Jehovah will do these things, and that every knee shall bow to Him and every tongue confess. (Isiah 45:23.) St. Paul applies this Scripture, and declares that it will be fulfilled through Jesus, and incidentally it will be fulfilled by the Church through Jesus. The thought is that in acknowledging Christ and the Church and in bowing to them, the world will be bowing to Jehovah; for the Logos, Jesus, the Redeemer, forever will be the Representative of the Father and His Power. Hence all men should honor the Son even as they honor the Father—not honor the Son as the Father, but as the Father's direct Representative—Hell of all things.—John 5:23; Hebrews, 1.2. The Elect Church Already Bows. The elect Church of the present time already bows the knee to Jesus, as the Representative of the Heavenly Father, and already enjoys a great blessing through this special relationship into which she has entered and which is to be completed in her resurrection change. Jesus, as the great King of Glory, and His Bride class, as the great Queen of Glory, will be distinctly separate from the world—sharers of an altogether different salvation. These, begotten of the Holy Spirit, are promised a participation in the Divine nature, which is far above that of the angels, the Apostle assures us. For the same reason that God is invisible to men, Christ and the Church will be invisible, though all-powerful. The blessings of human Restitution that they will bring mankind will be conveyed through earthly channels, of whom Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and all the Prophets and faithful ones of Israel will be leaders, or princes, as God has declared. These shall not judge by the hearing of the ear or by the sight of the eye, but shall judge righteous judgment.—Isaiah 112. No mistakes will be made; no evil deed shall fail of just recompense; even attempts to commit crimes must cease. Every knee shall bow to the Power then in control, and every tongue confess to the justice of the arrangement. Gradually the new order will appeal to the hearts of mankind, and what at first was obedience by force will become obedience from love and appreciation of righteousness. Eventually all who obey merely because of compulsion will be cut off in the Second Death. PUBLICITY.MEN BUSY IN CAPITAL Committee Considers Reopening of North Pole Controversy. SCATTER MUCH LITERATURE Representative Moore of Pennsylvania. Opposes Efforts of These Men to Have Congress Consider Dr. Cook's and Harry Thaw's Cases—Friends of Both Busy In Their Behalf. Washington.—That press agents for Dr. Cook, who maintains that he discovered the north pole, and Harry Thaw, the slayer of Stanford White, have been active recently in disseminating literature among members of congress has been asserted on the floor of the house by Representative J. Hampton Moore of Pennsylvania. Who these agents are Mr. Moore has been unable to discover. Neither has he been able to learn by whom they are being mud. It was during the discussion of the naval appropriations that Mr. Moore called attention to the fact that, although congress settled the north pole question when it passed an act recognizing Robert D. Peary as its discoverer, friends of Dr. Cook had been able to convince the house committee on education that another congressional investigation of the matter should be undertaken. Referring to the work of the press agent in behalf of Dr. Cook, Mr. Moore said: "After four years his supporters have got to work, and congress is asked to undo its own act. The commit- X DR. FREDERICK A. COOK. tee on education has before it now a joint resolution which proposes to 'establish the priority of the discovery of the north pole and the region contiguous thereto.' The old contention is to be reopened at our expense—for the benefit of whom? I will read the resolution: "Whereas, The discovery of the north pole and the region contiguous thereto involves questions of historic, scientific and geographic, economic, educational and commercial importance; "Therefore, be it resolved, That the priority of discovery of the north pole and the region contiguous thereto be established and declared by congress. In order that the lands discovered by American explorers in the far north may be described and designated as territory of the United States and so set forth in the maps prepared and distributed by the United States government." Mr. Moore called attention to the fact that members of congress have been receiving messages from Dr. Cook and have been favored with copies of his book. "But the limit has been reached when the committee on education begins to take the statement of a stenographer as to the doctor's dictation for the magazines from his hotel retreat at Newburg-on-the-Hudson. The amount of mail matter that comes to us every morning from people who get the idea that they are the real and only uplifters of the country is amazing. We are bombarded with vaporings along with good sense, but we ought to be able to distinguish the work of those who are shrewd enough to employ the services of press agents to inspire us with misinformation." Mr. Moore then turned his attention to the press agent, working in behalf of Harry Thaw. "We have got to deal with certain people who live upon their wits," he said, "just the same as if they were 'passing it' to us on the street. Here is the latest message bearing the earmarks of the publicity artist. It is coming in from gullible writers who do not know they are aiding the publicity game: 'I believe that Harry K. Thaw has been persecuted enough and should be given his liberty at once and restored to his family and beg you, sir, to use your influence in congress to pass a law in accordance with the constitution.'"
