Washington Bee

IF IT'S NEWS, IT'S IN THE BEE, FOR THE BEE IS A NEWSPAPER. THE BEE WASHINGTON Washington's Best and Leading Negro Newspaper-That's THE BEE THE COLORED The more The Bee speaks of the Colored attorney, the more he is to be admired. Of course he hasn't the opportunity to compete with the white attorney in great civil cases. He hasn't the rich clientage the white member of the bar has, but when he does handle the civil or criminal side of the practice, he demonstrates his knowledge of the law and his ability to handle courses of action presented to him. The greatest impediment to the Colored lawyer is his own people and especially those who claim to lead Colored society. There are few exceptions and The Bee cannot help from mentioning them by name. Dr. A. M. Curtis and Dr. Edwin Williston are the exceptions to the general opinion that a few of the Colored medical men have to the employment of Colored attorneys. The so-called Colored social set of this city whenever it can will knock the Colored attorney. The courts, as The Bee said last week, respect the Colored lawyer when he respects himself. The courts never consider a man's color as it has been evidenced in recent case that have tried in the upper courts. The Bee this week will take up Mr. Benjamin L. Gaskins. Without exception he is one of the most brilliant lawyers at the bar. Calm, deliberate and truthful. His most celebrated case was the nonsupport law, which was appealed from the Juvenile court to the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia. From the day the Juvenile court was established hundreds of husbands were compelled to pay alimony to their wives without a question. The decision of the Judge of that court held that he knew the law and he would enforce it. The case that was appaled from the Juvenile court to the Supreme Court was Emma West vs. Leo West. The Supreme Court, Mr. Justice Stafford presiding, held the law was illegal, in that the Juvenile court had no jurisdiction to assess a husband alimony for his wife, because Congress gave the court no such jurisdiction. Mr. Justice De Lacy of the Juvenile court applied to Congress for a change in this law or for Congress to enact such a law that would give him jurisdiction. There are other cases equally as important. Mr. Gaskins is a native Washingtonian and popular among his associates and highly respected by the bench. His companionship is congenial and as a student of law, he is equal to the occasion. He occupies a suit of rooms at 504 E street northwest. He always associates with him a member of his own race, no matter how great or important the case may be. In this connection The Bee is of the opinion that Mr. Joseph H. Stewart is entitled to favorable consideration, Mr. Stewart is a persistent advocate and a determination to win if he can. If he can convince the court that its term has nothing to do with revoking a former order he will do so and will become offended if the court doesn't agree with him. There is one commendable characteristic in him, and that is, he fights his cases single handed, and if his clients insist on associating a white attorney with him in any cases Mr. Stewart invariably does all the work, more especially in church fights. Mr. Stewart is a man of pleasing manner and whatever he has accomplished in the way of accumulating property it has been realized from his legal practice. BETHEL LITERARY. "The Nation's Unpreparedness for War" was the subject of an address delivered before the Bethel Literary Tuesday night by former Recorder John C. Dancy. One of the main reasons given was the virtual eliminating of the Negro from the State Militias, and his absence from all schools save in the District of Columbia where he can get any training to fit him for military life or leadership. He said that the population of the whole country when Washington was inaugurated president in 1789 was less than five millions and only a little over seven million in 1812 during the war with Great Britain. Yet the Negro represents a population of more than ten million with two million of the necessary age to carry arms in time of war, yet their military discipline is so lacking that it would be virtually criminal to place them in front of trained armies to defend the nation to which they have always been sacredly loyal. Our statesmen, while discussing our unpreparedness for war, should not forget this woeful oversight not to say neglect. If men are expected to defend their country in time of war, schools, naval and military, should be provided for proper training and military companies should be organized and trained in every state so that in case of armed conflict no fears would be entertained as to our ability to sustain the fame so well won by us on a thousand battlefields in former conflicts. The audience was enthusiastic and Mr. Dancy was frequently interrupted by bursts of applause. Music was furnished by Mr. Frank Williams and Prof. Braxton. COMMISSIONER BROWNLOW. The Great Commoner Will Speak Tomorrow. Hon. Louis Brownlow, Commissioner of the District of Columbia, will be the principal speaker at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Zion Church, D street between Second and Third streets, southwest, Sunday, March 21, at 4 o'clock, p. m., the occasion being "Men's Day," under the auspices of the trustees and the Men's Club of the above church. The enterprise is being given for the benefit of the rally of the church, and it is expected that a large numbe will avail themselves of the opportunity to hear this broad brained and fairminded commissioner who is loved and respected by all who know him. FIVE HUNDRED MEMBERS IN SIX DAYS. The Twelfth Street Branch Y. M. C. A. is conducting a campaign to secure five hundred members. Already their efforts have been met with fine results. Mr. John R. Hawkins, chairman of the Campaign Committee, with associates, Drs. Johnson and Marshall, and Messrs. Washington and Moore, has his forces well organized. Every member is making an effort to bring in a man a day. Much enthusiasm was displayed on Wednesday at the opening supper. Judge Warrick was the principal speaker. The campaign song, composed by Secretary Beckett stirred the forces to much spiritual action Washington should be proud of such an institution as the Y. M. C. A., and the work that it is doing for the spiritual, social, physical and intellectual uplift of young manhood of the race. Every man in town should support this organization. It stands with open doors to every man in the city. No man should miss the opportunity of associating himself with this type and group of men. On Sunday there will be a rousing meeting of the workers, and several stirring addresses will be delivered by nible speakers. The association is endeavoring to set the pace for other cities of its size in association work for membership. The last three days of the campaign, namely: the 15th, 16th and 17th of March, will be hummers. Each team is striving to take the business in the number of men brought in. HE HAS MADE GOOD. A few years ago Dr. W. S. Richardson, the South Washington druggist, asked how a young Colored boy was getting along in the Medical School of Howard University. Dr. Shadd said he is making good; the boy was Malkiah M. Lucas, whom Dr. Richardson was aiding to secure an education. Dr. M. M. Lucas, 456 K street southwest has not only made good, but is a shining mark in the medical profession, winning his way as a physician of note in this city since he left college. By his medical skill and genius, kind and loving disposition, he has won the hearts of the people. Dr. Richardson, who has been his benefactor, is always filled with smiles when he sees one that he has aided to succeed. Mrs. Richardson and her most accomplished daughters join with their parents in ecstacy when they see the young man they have helped succeed as he has and remarked to the many they have aided, that they have done some good in this world. In future ages, the old sign that has been and is a landmark of South Washington, Dr. W. S. Richardson, will be looked upon with admiration and those whom he has aided will say that he was a man. The 40th anniversary in business was celebrated all last week in his oldest stores and many friends and patrons called and greeted him. PARAGRAPHIC The G. A. Encampment will meet in this city the 29th of September. This will be their Fiftieth anniversary and will mark the close of the encampment. Lady "sits tight in auto." She sure loves her automobile.

This was added to the conscience fund. The minister visited the Sunday school class one Sunday afternoon just after Xmas and unrolled a beautifully colored chart, showing the "Flight in Egypt." "And," said he, using the pointer, "the angel said unto Joseph, 'take ye the mother and child and flee into Egypt.' Isn't that beautiful, children?" asked the minister. "Here you see Joseph, the angel, the mother and the child. In the background is Egypt." Before he could go further, a small voice was heard inquiringly, "Where's the flea?" JAMES H. DARNEY. Mr. James H. Dabney is one of the pioneer funeral directors in this city. For a number of years his name, with that of James H. Winslow, was a household word. It is gratifying to the friends of Mr. Dabney to know that he has again entered into his old line of business. He is today the same Mr. Dahney. His friends are flocking to him and within a few months he will have the most imposing array of carriages and hearses that this city has ever witnessed. As an embalmer he is equal to any in the United States and his arrangements and conducting of funerals are admirable. DEATH OF AMANDA SMITH Mrs. Amanda Smith, one of the world's greatest evangelists, died last week in Slebring, Florida. She traveled in America, England, Ireland, Scotland, India and Africa as an independent missionary. She was born a slave in Long Green, Maryland: The late Bishop Thoburn, of India, whom Mrs. Smith assisted both in church and open-air meetings, said in the introduction which he wrote to her book, in speaking of a thousand missionaries of certain type who would make India any better in a thousand years but "A thousand Amanda Smiths would suffice to revolutionize an empire." Every christian should read her book, but especially every Negro American. SMITH'S DRUG STORE Dr. Smith, Fourth and Elm street, northwest, has added two new clerks to his business and a new line of stock. Now if you want to patronize a first-class drug store, go to Smith's. Miss Leoneade J. Kenney of the M and Miss Lucille mstrong Manual both employed at and rendering the ce in the capacity young ladies are very courteous and pleasant. We would be pleased to have our friends at any time give us a call. The store has been restocked and it is in a position to give our patrons the very best service, and Dr. Smith would appreciate the co-operation of his neighbors and friends, as success comes from co-operation. JOHN T. RHINES A Successful Funeral Director. Mr. John T. Rhines, who has just moved into the new magnificent modern building, 901 Third street southwest, where he has his undertaking establishment, is surrounded by every convenience that is found in an up-to-date undertaker's business; a beautiful chapel that will seat over a hundred persons, with pulpit, giving the appearance of an up-to-date church chapel. It is well lighted, well ventilated. a trimming room where caskets are trimmed for the reception of bodies. The morgue is erected under the most recent sanitary regulations. In fact, the place is first class in every condition, and "first class work" is the motto with Mr. Rhines—kind and generous to a fault, and never refuses to serve those who have no money for the burial of bodies. Mr. Rhines graduated from the Embalming School in Chicago, and was licensed from the state of Illinois. He also holds licenses from Tennessee and Virginia, and holds the record of being the only Colored undertaker who has licenses from three different states to do business. He is a member of Zion church, one of the largest congregations in the city, a 32d degree Mason, an Odd Fellow, a member of the Elks and many other organizations. He is a man of splendid appearance. Fine carriages furnished for funerals, parties and weddings. Ambulance service furnished. Special attention paid to Virginia and suburban patrons. Bodies cremated; cremation urns furnished. Mr. Rhines stands high in the city. MR. MANNING COMPLIMENTED. S5 Denonshire street, Boston. March 9, 1915. Mr. Joseph C. Manning, Crawford House, Boston, Mass. My Dear Mr. Manning: In reply to your favor of the 3d, I would beg to say that I was very much struck indeed with your presentation of the political situation in the south. I do not think I have anywhere seen a more comprehensive statement of the conditions from the constructional standpoint than contained in your paper. SOUTHWEST NOTES Metropolitan A. M. E. Zion Church. At this church, the pastor, Rev. R. A. Carroll preached a stirring sermon and to a large audience at 11 a. m. In the afternoon at 3 p. m., every department of the church and the congregation in general accompanied their honored pastor, Rev. R. C. Carroll, to the Providence Baptist Church, where he preached a most excellent sermon. The choir rendered excellent music. So indelible was the impression made by that sermon that it can never be erased from the minds of those that heard it. Rev. Carroll is doing great work in Zion. At 7:30 the Rev. Gutridge preached and assisted the pastor in administering the Lord's Supper. The Sunday School is rapidly increasing. The baby class which is instructed by Miss L. A. Smith gave a concert on Monday night. They had a splendid audience. The program was an excellent one. The pastor and superintendent, Mr. James A. Taylor, are striving hard to make the school what it should be. FAIRMOUNT HEIGHTS Rev. W. A. C. Hughes, D. D., superintendent of the Washington District of the M. E.

Among those appearing on the program were: Mrs. Emma Lee Williams, Mrs. Robinson, The Howard University Glee Club, several representatives of the school and Prof. L. G. Gregory, A. B., LL. B. After the program refreshments were sold. Mrs. A: J. Ware, Mrs. Addie B. Muullins, Mrs. May Emma Campbell nided in making the concert a success. Miss Justine Wilkes has been designated as secretary-treasurer of the Industrial Fund, and Mrs. Smoot, will solicit aid. All persons wishing to aid the school in any way will please see Miss Wilkes or Mrs. Smoot. Prof. James F. Armstrong, the supervisor, went to Annapolis Wednesday, March 3, on official business. Prof. John D. Brodus withdrew his appeal to the state board of education and will be allowed to teach provided he is appointed. Miss Daisy Pierce is doing an excellent work at Meadows or Centerville, Maryland. She is a graduate of the great Tuskogee Normal Industrial Institute. She stands well with her trustees and people.

GOOK His Reply to His Defamers—A Gross Misrepresentation Properly Answered. Howard University, Washington, D.C. March 10, 1915. The Editor The Washington Bee. Washington, D.C. At a meeting at the Howard Theater Sunday, February 21, it was stated by several speakers that President S. M. Newman of Howard University and Secretary Görge William Cook had, in pursuance of a bargain with a United States Senator, called off a meeting that was to be held by Howard University students to protest against the Jim Crow Car bill for the District of Columbia, and that the senator had agreed as his part of the bargain not to oppose the Howard University appropriation. This charge is absolutely and maliciously false. Because of its character I have been reluctant to notice it, but on the advice of friends who urge me to do so, I take this occasion to say that there is not a word of truth in it and that it is a fabrication pure and simple and without any color of fact. A meeting advertised to be held by students for the purpose of protesting against the passage of the Jim Crow Car Bill for the District of Columbia was indeed interdicted by the President of Howard University, because it violated Rule Five of the Howard University regulations, which reads in part as follows: "All student publications must be authorized by the faculty and no student or organizations of students will be allowed to participate in any public occasion or discussion involving the name of the university unless authorized by the proper authority Reasonable minds will see the necessity of this rule in a large institution. The students who planned to hold this protest meeting at the Howard Theater failed to apply for the requisite permission to do so. Hence, the action of President Newman in the premises, which had no relation to the Howard University appropriation then pending in the House. The Sorority meeting held previously at the Howard Theater. January 20, well illustrates the manner in which such permission may be obtained. Upon application by the Alpha Sorority to hold its meeting at which Congressman Madden of Illinois was the speaker the application was duly approved by the faculty and the meeting was actually attended by students and officers of the university in general. I did not as a matter of fact in my work at the Capitol in the interest of my people in general or of Howard University in particular hold, any conversation with any United States senator about the Jim Crow Car Bill. However, with all my might with others, I did work for its defeat among Representatives in the House where the bill was a live issue. One word in conclusion, if after this any cares to write this false, malicious slander over his own signature, I will, as a duty to the community, be glad to give him an opportunity to defend his malevolence in a court of law. MORE THAN ALL The newstands sell five times more Bees than all other papers edited by Negroes in this city. Five times more Bees are read in this city than all other papers combined that are edited by Colored editors. If you want to know what is going on among the people read The Bee. It will pay you to advertise in it. MB: GEE RETURNED Mr. Henry B. Gee, of the Washington Herald, and one of the best-known Masons in the city, who was called suddenly to Richmond, Virginia, to the bedside of his mother who was dangerously ill, has returned and reports that his mother has improved and is no doubt out of danger. Mr. Gee has the sympathy of The Bee. ;Ex-Atty. General Lewis. Ex-Attorney General W. H. Lewis, of Boston, Mass., was in the city Sunday and left Monday night. Mr. Lewis came on business before the department of justice. He was looking well and speaks encouragingly of the good times to come. He is a candidate for no office even if the Republicans win next year. PUBLIC MEN AND THINGS (By the Sage of the Potomac.) One evening last October Tom Jones fell into a reminiscent and philosophical mood. It was a warm, balmy evening, and Tom was slitting out in his front yard. Slowly inching that allied leg of his around, while at the same time knocking the ashes off of Cinco, his favorite smoke, he squadulated as follows: "Boys, let me tell you this being a leader and performing as a hod carrier and morta maker for the race aint no helvule a thing after all, and it sure carries no financial rewards." Just here he again hesitated to change the position of his allied leg. Resuming, he continued: "Course I still a young man, but looking back, I recall a mighty few fellows who hit the trail of financial success, or undying fame who bourned the brunt of the battle in the heat of the day, and that's why I'm just practicing law, and letting the other fellow write 'race leader' after his name. Now leaving out your Uncle Booker T. and Frederick Douglass, tell me how many Hamites got out of the featherweight in finance strutting around as race leaders. Course your Uncle Booker, he's one great exception. He's on easy street, while Prof. Dubose is working for $2,500 a year, and aint sure of his job at that. Prof Douglass, made most of his in office, but before that he had sad sledding." Just at this juncture two speak-easy clients drew up, called Tom aside, whispered something to him, whereupon he knotted his brow, looked as wise as an old owl just before his eyes went on the blink. Then the clients, seeing his wise look, wiser than Old Solomon's look, they handed him something that looked like four fives and two tens, whereupon Tom, sagely remarked, so the rest of us could hear it: "Oh, I'll take care of you, depend on it. I never lose a case that has the earmarks of prompt fees on it." His clients withdrew, and Tom returned to his visitors, and reaumed as follows: "Now, let's see where did I leave off? Oh, yes, with Douglass. Well, as I before averred—that's a good word, 'averred, alit?' Douglass made his out of office. Uncle Booker has made his and is still making it, and we will realize he was a bigger leader than we give hime credit for now, but Mr. Langston's leadership was a bad financial investment for him. He spent thousands of dollars striving for his race, and got a mighty little appreciation. Take strictly local characters for instance: There's L. M. Hershaw, who ever since he has been round here has been leading or workin' up some cause for his race, and it took him about steen years to reach a fourteen hundred dollar clerkship, while Bob Harlan, arn., who never did mix with us creosote color crowd ran up to an eighteen hundred dollar clerkship in just no time, and he can't hold the candle to Hershaw when it comes to real ability. No sir, a leader not only don't get far on the financial course, but he gets mighty little appreciation." Noticing everybody was listening intently, Tom was tickled, so tuckled that he said: "Excuse me gentlemen, won't you walk in the house, I've got some fine spring water in there sent me from down in Kentucky, mebeb you'd like to sample it." Everybody got a wiggle on himself and took Tom at his word and went in the house. It was some spring water too, just let me promise you—ran down your throat like oll, had a flavor like Doc Williston's "forty-four-year-old in the wood." After we had drunk copiously of spring water, Tom said: "Let's see, where did I leave off? Oh, yes, I left off with Bob Harlan, sr. Well as I before rehearsal, Bob Harlan never did associate with us coffee-colored fellows, but he shot ahead of Hershaw in salary raise like a catapult hitting the guber curve. Then there's Rev. Grimke, fine preacher, learned man who has always watched the interests of his race. Yet look at him. Got a fine congregation of celluloid society favorites who pay him about $1,200 a year mostly in promises. Why Simon Peter, who posed as a race leader of Harvard intelligence can work out the medium of the Henderson Civil Rights League, or whatever he calls it, and sunday other stunts. And there was Ralph Tyler. Wh. I never talked to that man he didn't tell me of what he trying to do to get this or that half brother of Ham a job or promotion. If he wasn't trying for this he was trying to get the appropriation increased for the Schools, and so on. Even them fellows he got a promotion for soon forgot, and the last talk I had with him he said: "Let me tell you, Mr. Jones, hustling around filling the other fellow's basket aint got many thanks hanging at the end." And—but by-the-way gentlemen, won't you try another glass of spring water?" Everybody said yes, and more spring water it was. We sure did like to listen to Tom's musical voice, and his reminiscences and philosophy so long as he interspersed it with spring water. And Jud Lyons, let me tell you, is some judge of Kentucky spring water. After we had wetted our whistles with another swig of spring water Tom said: Let's see, where did I leave off at? Oh, yes, with Tyler. Well as I as declared, that man sure did give some service around here, and helped out many a fellow of beef, but he got mighty little thanks for it, and let me add, just parenthetically, some who didn't do half the hustling for others he did are still, on the government's payroll. Then there's Kelly Miller. I don't know what this town would have done without Kelly. He's kept the town and the race on the map, been high man at all functions, and wasted a lot of ink writing about race adjustment, and what has he got for it? Why, he's got a little seventeen hundred dollar job, and a longing desire to some day make enough out of his lecturing to give his children a decent education. Now there are some fellows up there at Howard who never lop their head over on the other side to catch a glimpse of a coffee-cooler who have got all kinds of money, and a sure grasp on the future, while Kelly just worries along trying to make that $1,700 look like a decent living wage. Kelly is the biggest man we have in the race, got nearly as much advertising as Uncle Booker, and really has done a wonderful sight for his race, but what thanks do he get? None. No sir, don't tell me that this race leadership padds. It's a losing job, and that's why I just practice around the police court, picking up four or five thousand stray dollars each year, and sit out here in front of my house nursing this allied leg and entertaining my friends. No race leadership for Tom Jones. He's practicing law for a living." Everybody was speeches with admiration, and expectation. Noticing the expectation oozing out of our eyes, Tom said: "Excuse my thoughtlessness, gentlemen, but won't you take just another sip of that spring water?" Everybody voted wet, and we emptied the last of the spring water. As the spring water now appeared like Dorsey Fultz—gone never to return—each one of the bunch that had patiently, and loyally listened to Tom's reminiscences and philosophy, suddenly discovered he was overdue in keeping an engagement, and almost simultaneously drawing their watches, each fellow observed: "Why I didn't know it was so late," bid Tom adieu, thanking him for the opportunity of sampling his spring water, but overlooked expressing their gratification at being favored with reminiscences and philosophy. There is no use to discuss it, just as soon as a coffee-colored guest gets through eating your grub, smoking your cigars, or drinking your spring water, your conversation becomes dull to him, and your hospitality begins to pall, and he just has an itching to get away. But Tom Jones is one of the most hospitable fellows around these parts. He's a thoroughbred seven days in the week. Likes to entertain his friends. When Tom dies a suitable inscription for his tombstone will be: "Here lies Tom Jones, who when living, was the most liberal black Blackstone that ever nursed an allied lear." GLEANNGS FOR TEACHERS. By Chrales M. Thomas, LL.B. Myrtila Miner Normal School. (Continued from February 27.) The Principle of Interest and Atten "Inattention is attending to something else." Differences in mentality are largely differences in degrees of sustained attention and the reactions thereto. Recency, vividness and resulting satisfaction are more potent than authority in vitalizing experiences. More symbols are memorized as symbols, but experience is the food of the soul's actual growth. Even the largest general interests must be felt to be personal before they can claim attention from us. "My country" means largely the place where I live, until I travel, hence patrotism lags without frequent reference to the cagle and the flag as symbols of our relation to national extent, development and ideals. One can not have real attention without its two essential conditions—interest and a clear purpose. Psych. of Education, Welton, page 252. Pillsbury, Attention, chapter XIX and XX. The Princinials of Habit Formation. What we have done we will do again and similar conditions, hence "Put taste or what you would have remain together and keep apart the undesirable." The great thing in education is to make the nervous system an ally instead of an enemy." The ultimate test of character is in reactions to "I ought," and the ultimate aim of education is character. "Your success as a teacher depends upon the foresight, intelligence, patience, watchfulness and persistence in the formation of habits of thinking, feeling and doing." There must be sympathy, but no softness; a steady purpose, but no haste; constant supervision, but no spying; variety in instruction and originality in device, but steady relentless drill and practice in learning and doing the things in education that must be made automatic for complete living." Tact and taste take the place of memory and labored consciousness, as we turn over to our automaton what express volition had to do before.—Dr. G. Stanley Hall in Introduction to Habit by Dr. Radestock. See also "The Teacher and the Schoolboy," by Colgrove, and "Habit Formation" by Rowe. Discipline. Because instincts are neuro-muscular paths with no memory they must be disciplined to insure social cooperation on the part of each individual of each generation. Discipline is to a school what harness is to a colt, a restraining condition that makes its highest powers available. The skill of the driver is in the disuse of the whip and the dependence upon the guiding lines and the voice. The whip is for painful punishment in accordance with the sensitivity and unwillingness of the animal to act for its own best good; it is not for guidance. You can secure better results with a group by inculcating a general sentiment in favor of a line of action, than by lecturing or announcing prohibitions. The folly of a line of action, or the profits accruing to some model to be imitated are strong impellons to any line of action. No sane mind reacts repeatedly to the idea "I am a fool." Self-control is a condition of group control, and a teacher is always a social leader.-Madougail's Introduction to Social Psychology. "The Spirit of Youth and the City Streets," by Jane Addams. Hughes on "How to Keep Order." The Flanagan Co., Chicago, 10 cents. King, "Personal and Ideal Elements in Education." "Practical Ethics," by Hyde. "Discipline" by Bagley. (new). Curriculum. Books, nature and the experiences of men in their approximate solutions of the problem of human life, are the categories from which items and relations are selected to comprise the curriculum. You can not teach what you do not know, hence full rich scholarship and the spirit of the learner are essential to an adequate presentation of any and every lesson. "In the school itself there is much of educative value that is not mapped out in the curriculum." A child's social intercourse with teacher and pupils exercises a powerful influence in the development of his sense of worth. The Necessity for Five Coordinate Groups of Studies in the Schools, by Dr. Harris, Ed. Review, 1896. Teacher and School, by Colgreve. The Child and the Curriculum, by John Dewey. The School Arts. Reading, writing and arithmetic are taught to facilitate the child's entry into the sources of new experience—Nature, books and the experiences of men. The school arts are means, not ends, but they must be treated as ends until they are mastered. The dominant aim in such work is habit, which suggests as a mode of teaching: Example, imitation, practice, practice, practice with elimination of errors. The school arts demand the memorizing of form, hence the necessity for clear and vivid sense-percepts as the basis of copy. Fundamentally correct neuro-muscular reactions and exercises must be correlated with specific exercise in reading, writing and counting. If you would know the results of separating physical and mental training read History of Education in Europe and Asia. In reading, a child must see, hear, and orally express the same group of associated elements, which are doubly symbolic, first of sounds and second of sense. In writing, the child must see and transcribe several elements forming a group of curved and straight lines. In arithmetic, it is necessary for him to count, measure or compare a quantity made definite to his mind only by thinking of it with reference to some unit previously abstracted. Is there not some difficulty in these tasks? Is not the attempt to minimize that difficulty worthy of the best thought and effort of thoughtful men and women engaged in teaching? Is not scientific investigation to be urged, and, its finding adopted? Curtis" Standard Tests in Arithmetic." Thorndike, "Handwriting," and "Experimental Education," by Rusk. For familiarity with current advance see Journal of Educational Psychology, Warwick and York, Baltimore, Md. See also Rice's Scientific/Management in Education. Figures are not quantity, but symbols; neither are words ideas; nor are letters sounds. If you pass from a group of real things to a picture of the things so grouped, and thence to some simple diagram of the things in the group, but with the spatial qualities simplified, then to simple linear representations of the unity in each of the group, your symbol may have some meaning. Then you pass from concrete to abstract, otherwise your symbol is memorized as a symbol. "The meaning of a thing in its relations, and new relations reveal new meanings." 'Coursalt, "The Learning Process." It may be that American extravagance is due to the failure to connect figures with the quantities for which they stand in the mind of the children, for "Symbols are valuable only as they have particular meanings."—Principles of Education, Bolton, page 260-292. Content Studies. Drawing, music and physical training, though presented as subjects to be controlled, have a much larger element of appreciation in terms of worth, because of their high nature relations. They are ends ultimately, though means in the earlier stages of education. The predominance of the individual efficiency or economic aspect of education is responsible for their displacement as means in modern education. Their development in the race was in response to a felt need for expression, not in response to natural wants that economic means are presented. By music, gesture and art art can express feelings far beyond and much above the range of language. Through literature each age may converse with and learn from those they can never meet. Fancy's flights are held for closer scrutiny. The past and the future are merged into the conscious NOW and each generation may profit by and plan for experiences not now possible. Through geography the mind becomes acquainted with the world it may subdue. It senses its own locus so that its acts may be adjusted to the necessities of space and time and so that, through commercial dependcome to understand the idea of human brotherhood, humanity, in its widest relations. Through history children may participate in events which have made the present moment possible, and thus come to realize the possibilities and responsibilities of true citizenship. Each must be induced to play his part and repay his obligation to society. Because of the uniformity of human feelings, under the thin veil of dissimilarity, religion becomes the unifying force in all ages and among all kinds of men. Through nature study, the interdependence of men and things is revealed; environmental adjustment or adaptation is emphasized; the possibilities of human control of organic nature, and the conditions and effects of this human stewardship tend to lead the mind "through nature up to Nature's God." From these categories of human experience, the school aims to indicate ultimately how life is possible and worth while, how human brotherhood is increasingly interlaced with individual efficiency and thus the Fatherhood of God revealed. Standards. "The scientists are said to be engaged in discovering what we call the secrets of Nature. The physician is daily face to face with the mysteries of the human body, and yet, the teacher, who is not dealing with more stocks and stones, nor yet with the physical body alone, but with the intangible, intellectual and spiritual nature of the child, is seldom conscious of the fact that he is face to face with a greater mystery than those of either the scientist or the physician—the mystery of human personality—which is one that will yield itself only to the same patient, conscientious and devoted self-sacrifice that is cheerfully given to the discovery of the secrets of the organic and inorganic realms of nature."—Colgrove. - Standards concern themselves with three aspects of our experience: 1. With the problem of what we do. Certain things are to be done; others not to be done. 2. With the question as to why we perform an action; the consideration of our motive, impulse and habits. 3. Lastly there is the problem of how we do anything; the question of technique, skill, accuracy, precision, rapidity, facility, beauty, truth, development of power and control. From the Concept of Method by Lomer, Columbia University Publications. The objective task of education is to establish reactions to higher standards; personal standard, social, national or what not. Method. Who knows the principles of teaching, can not go far astray. Teaching is mediation. The flow and the what depend upon scholarship and a sympathetic insight into human nature. The modes of teaching or special methods may vary with conditions, but we must agree upon principles in each age and civilization. "The ad justment of the logic of the subject matter to the nature of the learning process is the method of teaching." The categories of human experience and though from which we select the items to be relearned by each generation are the products of the minds and actions of mea and women like those we aim to develop, hence they are prepared by inheritance to receive instruction as to the achievements of their ancestors. With facts from the category labeled "Nature," lessons are demanded which shall begin in observation and pass through the stages of description forward to new observations. It such activities, beginning with the simple satisfaction of childish curiosity, which become science. With facts from the category labeled "Literature," lessons are demanded which shall begin with the mysteries of the symbols and pass through the stages of re-experlencing their significance forward to an expression of their interpretation and to their use in setting down the child's own experience. It is such activities, beginning with a word or a cry in imitation of an animal or the mother's voice, which become books. With facts beginning with the activities of the daily lives of the homes and neighborhoods' of the children and running forward to an investigation and appreciation of the stretch to remote antiquity, lessons are demanded which shall vicariously experience the lives and hopes of the ancestors so as to induce expression of the loftier aims and suppression of the undesirable tendencies which persist. The act of mediation, the adjustment, is the teacher's task. See Education of Backward Races, by Coffin, Pedagogical Seminary, 1910. General Principles. "So as to treat humanity, whether in thine own person or in that of any other, in every case as as end withal, never as a means only."—Immanuel Kant. "Things human are never to be condemned by comparison with perfection, but by comparison with other things human which we may put in their place."—Max Eastman. The foregoing conditions show why scholarship and personality are of such great value in a teacher, and that the standard of the profession is of necessity raised with every advance in social progress. Myrtilla Miner Normal School.—Observations Prior to Practice, No. 2. Imitation and originality—Is the child markedly imitative or original in his ideas? How shown? Is he consciously imitative, or habitually original? Does his imitation go to the extent of copying or dishonesty? Does his originality go to the extent of grilfulness? Aesthetic sense—Is taste shown in dress, or in the absence of feeling of congruity? What appeals to child in nature, art, literature, or character as elfying or awe-inspiring of the beautiful? How does he express such feelings? Emotions—How strong is the emotional nature? How moved by anger, love, mercy, sympathy, jealousy, hate? How expressed? Is he mastersed by such feelings, or does he suppress them? Is there anything in the child's history to account for feeling of such emotions? Affections. (Inclinations toward certain animate objects.)—Is his affection selfish or unselfish? Nature and manifestation of affection for people, animals, relatives, playmates, etc., etc. Temperament.—To what type or types does he belong? Impulsive, bouyant, cheerful, excitable, emotional, passionate carnest, persistent, slow, dull, plodding, resolute, irresolute, calm, energetic, courageous, genous, selfish, yielding, stubborn, sympathetic, unsympathetic, hopeful, sad, sensitive, indifferent, confiding, reluct, peacable, quarrelsome, gloomy, fearful, worrying, misplous, distrustful, self-confident, self-distrustful, reflective, fastidious, easily discouraged, purposeless, imaginative, frasible, happy-go-lucky, solemn, serious, proud, vain, overbearing, servile, sluggish. Dealing with matters of subjective conditions great care must be used to rightly interpret the manifestations of such feeling. Toleration as well as acuity in estimates placed upon such qualities as listed above are necessary to their validity when reported. It is to the feelings and attitudes noted above that you shall appeal for the arousal of feelings of appreciation upon which successful presentation depends.-Chas M. Thomas, LL. B. You're long and dreary, dull and sad, You're dark and gloomy, wild and mad. The value of tin and tin ore produced in New South Wales in 1913 amounted to $2,000,000.

Washington—Americans who have been influenced by the orient to the extent of taking their tea clear, without milk or sugar, will be astonished to learn that the occident is now bent on teaching the Chinese to use milk with their decoction of tea leaves—and condensed milk at that. An enterprising condensed milk company is pushing the campaign and expects to be successful. This concern already has introduced condensed milk ice cream to the Chinese, and they like it so well that many of the restaurants keep it always on hand. Practically no fresh milk is to be had in China, although the natives seem familiar enough with the virtues of both the fresh and the condensed article. Perhaps, after all, the orientals have taken their tea clear because there was no milk to put into it and not because they thought the addition of milk ruined the beverage. Canned salmon is another western staple that has made a decided impression on the far east, according to a report entitled "Canned Goods Trade In the Far East," written by United States Commercial Agent J. Alexis Shriver and published by the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce. The report contains many interesting facts about the home life of the Chinese, Japanese, Malays, etc., and many valuable suggestions for canners, who are considering the fedbility of selling goods on the other side of the Pacific. JOIN IN ATTACK ON LOW WAGES—WALSH Chairman of Federal Industrial Body Advises Protest. Chicago.—A plea that all the forces which are striving for the betterment of the human race join in an attack on low wages and "the resultant indecent standard of living" was voiced by Frank P. Walsh, chairman, of the federal industrial relations commission, before a meeting of the City club of Chicago. "Let us have a new declaration of war and a good mobilization," he said. "I hold that every organization we have for good should strike a blow at the main offender, low wages. "When we divide our forces into three great battalions—those working for better economic conditions, those working for better social conditions and those working for better moral conditions—we make a monumental blunder. Lines cannot be drawn between the economic, social and moral life of the people. They rise or fall together and economic conditions always dominate. "If those who are concerned with social and moral betterment would join those of us who are primarily concerned with establishing economic justice; if they would help to force better wages, a decent standard of living, a better environment, more leisure and less laborious situations on 00 per cent of the people, we could cut their work at least in half." Asserting that at present we have "a veneration for wealth in this country that has made concrete wealth supra-legal." Mr. Walsh continued: "We have a perfect right to withhold the protection of organized society from one man who is doing many of us hurt. Great fortunes are as active a menace in themselves as they are to their possessors. They lead to greater and greater trevasties on justice and a more insane vision of power. "The owners of such fortunes must have at some time or other crossed the line of true economics, ethics, equity and criminal law. An enormous fortune is a wrong proved by itself." DOG PHONES IN FIRE ALARM. Central Calls Department and Man's Life Is Saved. Oshkosh. Wis. "Number, please," said central at 4 o'clock one morning. "Woof, woof, woof!" was the answer.

President and Professors Try Thus to Meet Year's Deficit. Cambridge, Mass. Several Harvard professors have turned their salaries into the general fund of the corporation since they were informed of President Lowell's annual report announcing a deficit in the university's accounts. Wealthy members of the faculty are said to have come to the aid of the college by relinquishing their entire salaries, while others have given part of their earnings. President Lowell is understood to have given his salary in full. TRADE BOARD TO CHECK MONOPOLY Davies Explains Duties of New Federal Commission. "EVEN HANDED JUSTICE." Body Will Be Vigilant Protection of the Public Interest From Encroachments of Dishonest Business as Well as Constructive Help to Those Who Want to Do the Right Thing. New York.—Just what will be, the scope and application of the new federal trade commission, authorized by congress, was set forth by Joseph E. Davies, commissioner of corporations, whose office is to be merged with the federal trade commission and who has been named by President Wilson as a member of the board, to a gathering which included a large number of business men interested in the purposes of the new governmental board. Legislation creating the trade commission was based on the platform declarations of the two dominant political parties that "private industrial monopoly was fuconsistent with representative democracy," Commissioner Davies said. He added that the spirit and purpose behind the law were that of "even handed justice, vigilant protection of the public interest from encroachments of dishonest business and, as well, constructive help to business which is honestly and fairly desolous of accommodating itself to the law." Commissioner Davies said the purpose of the Newlands-Covington act which created the federal trade commission "was to provide an expert body, which should be ever watchful of the public interest, but which should as well be clothed with power to obtain facts and information for the good of the public and business generally, and which should serve also as an agency not only to enforce the law, but to aid expeditionally in the more easy accommodation of the remedy to the wrong and to the accommodation of business to the requirements of the law." Will Define Fairness. "The problems of modern industrial business are not simple," he continued. "Our modern industrial organism involves one-sixth of the total wealth of the nation. It affects approximately one-tenth of our population directly. Its welfare and its prosperity, consistent with the public interest, is a matter of first concern to government. One of the problems frequently alleged is uncertainty as to what the law prescribes. This legislation attempts to relieve that situation by specific definition to make that clear which cannot be done. "In the course of time there will be available to the federal trade commission a large body of information, collated, digested and interpreted, as to the whole field of industry of the country. This agency is also available in the public interest in investigations of the anti-trust laws." Advise Department of Justice. "This information and expert knowledge are further made available by the law to the federal courts in the formation of dissolution decrees in trust cases, to the end that the public interest may be conserved, in that disinterested economic and expert knowledge of industry as well as legal information may be available in such situations. By direct authorization of the law the trade commission may be called in by the department of justice to make recommendations as to the manner in which corporations may readjust their business, so as to comply with the provisions of the law. "The greatest menace to the small business men or enterprises lies in unfair methods of competition employed by their larger rivals, who can withstand a campaign of price cutting or similar practice simply by reason of brute strength. These practices, if permitted, breed monopoly. If prevented in their inception by government agency there is a guarantee of a square deal to the smaller unit and an assurance that it will depend for its survival upon its own efficiency and find justification therein for its existence. The theory of this law finds no quarrel with bigness of enterprise. If simply provides that the rules of the road, based on fairness, shall be made clear and shall be enforced." 1812 PENNY FOUND IN LOG. Coin, Well Preserved, imbedded More Than a Century. Newton, N. J.--While splitting wood on his farm near here Amzi Cosner saw a piece of copper fall from one of the logs. He found that it was a penny, dated 1812. The coin was in a remarkable state of preservation, the figures on it being as easily distinguished as those on a newly minted coin. It is likely that when the penny was new it was lost in a crack of the then young tree and became imbedded in the bough. Wants to Run a Skunk Farm. Roselle, N. J.--Morris R.

King Saul, Although Anointed of God, Waited For the Voice of the People. His Opportune Moment and How He Utilized It—His Acceptance by the People—Opportunities Open For All. Special Lessons to the Church, Also Called to Kingly Office. "He that is show to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taunteth a city"—Proverbs 16.22. ISRAEL had asked for a king. God, through the Prophet Samuel, had caused the unmaking of Saul to be king. The people of Israel had assembled, and God's Prophet Samuel had indicated God's choice. Some had gladly accepted it, but the rougher element had refused, sneeringly saying, Who is he, that we should hope for anything great in his hand? It looked as though the Lord's choice had been unsatisfactory and had come to naught. Saul made no attempt to exercise authority, having half-hearted support from the people. returned home, resuming his life as a farmer; but we may be sure he was patiently waiting for the opportune, or psychological, moment when with God's blessing he would enter upon his duties and responsibilities as king. A farmer is guiding a cow. Sauh's farm the mobilize continued only a month until the opportunity offered. The Ammonites, residing in the east of Israel's possessions, had for some time besieged Jabesh-gilead. When the city asked terms for surrender, the Ammonite general's taunt was that on one condition he would save their lives—they should each submit to having an eye put out, as a shame on Israel. Time was asked—seven days—for decision. Moantime messengers were dispatched, possibly to all the tribes. Some came to Sauh's residence, evidently hoping that he would take steps for their deliverance. Saul was appointed leader; the psychological moment had come. He killed the oxen he had been driving and sent pieces to all the tribes, saying that whoever did not respond, to become a defender of the general interests, would have his oxen hewed to pieces. This was a peculiar command for a king; but it touched the right spot, for three hundred and thirty thousand men responded. The messengers returned to Jabesh-gilead with assurances of succor the next day; and Israel gave answer to the beslegers that by the time appointed they would march out for them to do as they wished. Saul divided his army into three sections, and from three different quarters came suddenly upon the besiegers, routing them and delivering the Israelites. Thereupon they realized that God had indeed given them a wise king, whom they had been slow to recognize; and they inquired for those who had spoken against Saul, saying, Let them now be slain. However, the king wisely and generously said, "There shall not a man be put to death; for today the Lord hath wrought salvation in Israel." Although the slaughtering of those Ammonites had Divine approval, it did not signify that they went to the theological Hell, there to suffer eternal torments. On the contrary, they merely went to the tomb, to sleep until in God's arrangement Christ would die as the world's Redeemer, and at His Second Advent would begin His work of calling back from death all that are in their graves. To grasp the situation we must remember that all men are under a death sentence; and it matters little whether they die from starvation, sickness, pestilence or the sword. The penalty reads, "Dying, thou shalt die"—not live, anyhow or anywhere. This fact has a distinct bearing on everything appertaining to the Lord's authorization of wars, permission of famines, etc. While God has enforced the penalty, "The wages of sin is death," thus manifesting His Justice. He in another way has been preparing for the manl- festation of His Love. His first step was in the sending of His Son to die for Adam's sin, under which the race is condemned to death. Soon He will establish a Kingdom which will bind Satan, release humanity from the results of the curse, and restore all the willing perfection. The "Theological" Hell Special Lessons For the Church. God's consecrated people may especially learn lessons from Saul's experience. They, like Saul, have been dominated of God, not only to be kings, but also to be priests—"a Royal Priesthood." As Saul was anointed with oil, so the Royal Priesthood are anointed with the Holy Spirit. As the people rejected Saul and he waited patiently for the Lord's time, so mankind are not, yet ready for the Reign of the Royal Priesthood, of which Jesus is the Head; and God's time has not yet come for the establishment of the Kingdom. Lessons of patience, humility and confidence in God are requisite that, after enduring, they might inherit the promises. JamesH Winslow TWELFTH AND R James H. FUNERAL James H.

Letter from Hon. George L. Dow. President of the Economy Club: Braith Building, Howard Square, Cambridge, Feb. 24, 1915. Hon. Joseph C. Manning. Hon. Joseph C. Manning, Crawford House, Boston, Mass.. Dear Mr. Manning: Your address last evening at Young's Hotel, Boston, before the Economy Club in which you discussed the "Submerged South" and the Southern political situation as it effects all the people of the country brought to the minds of your hearers an entirely new presentation. Your recital of the social, industrial, educational and political conditions in the South, past and present, was of such character as was received with intense interest. Your address convinced many that this Southern question has a broader aspect than the country is aware of, and my own judgment is that you should be heard by all the people of the North. Seldom has the Economy Club heard a more interesting discussion. Very truly yours. GEORGE L. DOW. Letter from Congressman Dallinger: No. 89 State Street. Boston Feb. 24, 1915 Having heard your address on "Southern Conditions as They Effect the Nation," I am convinced that the question involved is of such vital concern that you ought to be heard by all the people of the United States. Trusting that you may be given the opportunity to enlighten the public mind and arouse the public conscience of the nation, I remain, Very sincerely yours, FREDERICK W. DALLINGER. One thing about these March winds, they make the clothes on the line dry quickly. THE BEE Published at 1109 Eye St. N. W., Washington, D. C. W. CALVIN CHASE, EDITOR Entered at the Post Office at Washington, D. C., as second-class mail matter. ESTABLISHED 1880 TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION. One copy per year in advance...$2.00 Six months.....1.00 Three months.....50 Subscription monthly.....20 CHARACTER vs. EDUCATION. The great question which should occupy the mind of the educated is character. There are thousands of Colored people in the United States who possess education and profound learning but are without character. A man or woman with great learning and without character is a social as well as a political nonentity. What makes the white man and the white woman strong is character. Some of the greatest Colored men and women who exist today have no word. They disregard the truth or a promise. You may take the best of them and direct them as a student would direct a baby and then report what they have done and how closely they have adhered to the truth. That is the trouble to a great extent with the Colored people. Many preachers have no more regard for their word than a trained liar. Of course their are exceptions to this proposition. A man or a woman without honesty is dangerous to society. What estimate there is placed on such characters by the most fortunate are those whose words are their bond. Take our present day leadership. What is it? Take the leadership under the Taft administration and with but one or two exceptions, the present day Negro leadership is a political nonentity and the Negro leadership under the Taft administration was a little better than the present day Negro leadership. Taft Negro leadership could go to the White House and secure a few appointments and disagree with Mr. Taft on his southern policy. The present day Negro leadership is not permitted to come within ten feet of the President and neither does it disagree with the administration's southern policy. If there is any disagreement it is in a tightly-boarded room without the knowledge of the administration. Can it be said that either leadership possesses character? Without calling names, there were three under the Taft administration upon whom the race could depend to do their whole duty toward their race. The present day leadership is individual and selfish. It cannot get away from self. You can't no more rely on what it says than you can on every day in March being pleasant. In speaking of character, it must be remembered that the best educated among the Colored people lack that most important characteristic. This may be stretching it, but it must be admitted to be true. Name to The Bee an educator and it will show him to lack that great and all-important element, character. Many of the Negro professionals lack this all-important element. How much easier it is to live in peace and brotherly love? Much better it is to turn good for evil if you are permitted to do so. Why talk about and try to degrade your successful competitor? You may say all you please about the white man getting away from the Negro, it is best for the Negro to keep in close touch with him and emulate his virtues. The reason the south appreciates the old slave is because he has remained close to his side; he was reared up with the old master and his contact with him aided in his civilization in the American body politic. Before the Negro can succeed he must have character. DR MOTEN ANSWERS Perhaps the greatest document ever written is that by Dr. Lucy Moten to Superintendent Thurston in reply to the reasons why she should not be removed from Normal School No. 2. The board of education should request Dr. Thurston to transmit to it that document. It gives the true conditions of that school and why she should be sustained in her work and why certain changes should be made in that school. No sane board of education would longer tolerate present existing evils. The people are entitled to know why Normal School No. 2 continues to be the bone of contention. The judges of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia who appoint the board of education should without hesitating make the necessary changes in the board and instruct the board to reconstruct the entire school system. If there ever was a woman more imposed upon it is Dr. Moten, principal of Normal School No. 2. The document reads like a state paper although the Editor has not seen it. Dr. Thurston who has that paper should transmit it to the board of education with his recommendation that if what Dr. Moten states is true, in the name of God, and justice to the pupils, the people should know it and the appointing powers should be advised. In the face of the investigation made by Dr. Thurston and the endorsement of two of the members of the investigating committee nothing has been done to relieve the situation. Nothing beyond a new board of education will relieve the situation. If the situation is not relieved at once, confusion, dissatisfaction and disorganization in that department of the schools will continue. The investigation that was made by the superintendent shows up a most disastrous condition in Normal School No.2, and the lack of co-operation of certain teachers with the principal who has made a most excellent record. If the board of education wants to know the true cause of the dissatisfaction and conditions in Normal School No.2, the document of Dr. Moten and the facts that were brought out in the investigation will show and be convincing and uncontradictory of the true condition in that school. For some unknown reason two local sheets that have heretofore been most active in their expose of the present school system have become silent and turned a backward somersault. The quiet visits are now made to the falling administration and excuses are made for dereliction of duty. The people will sustain Dr. Moten in her fight for fair play. THE PRESIDENT A COWARD. The bias press of the country may say that the administration is a coward, but The Bee must agree with its good friend, Rev. L. C. Moore, in his very touching and timely letter to President Wilson last week. It is a document worth reading and it should be commended by every thoughtful and patriotic citizen in this country. President Wilson is endeavoring to save lives. No one knows the pangs of death but those who have it in their homes. No man is a coward who tries to avert death or trouble. This has been the only offense in this war of which Mr. Wilson is guilty. Is it a crime to attempt to avert war? Is it a crime for a man to take an insult occasionally if he can save thousands of souls and prevent the starvation of millions of widows and babes? Mr. Moore's document was a literary gem and future ages will call him the black prophet of a bleeding age. It is to be regretted that Mr. Wilson has an antagonistic and prejudiced south to deal with. If the great republic north, east and west cannot stop the tide of discrimination and antagonism permeating the atmosphere of these sections what is to be expected from the President? The Bee wants to see no war between the United States or any other nation. Mr. Wilson is a Democrat, it is true; his southern policy doesn't suit the Editor of The Bee, it will admit, but why did a Republican administration start it? The Bee regrets that Mr. Wilson failed to take advantage of the opportunities that were presented to him after the election to the presidency. The President is no coward, but a brave man and if he will see that all discrimination in the several departments and equality of citizenship are accorded to the Colored Americans, conditions among the Colored people in this country will be improved. NATIONAL BENEFIT ASSOCIATION The Bee takes this opportunity to commend to the National Benefit Association as being one of the most reliable associations in the United States. So far as The Bee is concerned it is satisfied with the advertisement business that this association gives The Bee. The Bee doesn't know what the daily papers charge for publishing the advertisement of this great Negro insurance enterprise which is a credit to the 90,000 Colored people in this city and the many thousands throughout the country. The Bee is paid its price for what it publishes in the way of advertisements. The daily papers in which the advertisements for this company are published are a benefit and The Bee knows it. The daily papers go where other papers edited by Negroes don't go, The Bee, of course, excepted. This company is reliable and the Colored people are advised to pay no attention to these little two-by-three mushroom papers that have not cut their eye teeth as yet. SPRINGWEAR Why go elsewhere to purchase your spring under garments for men and boys and gents and ladies' shoes when we have the only two places of their kind in this city? Do the people know that Ware's shoe is the only one of its kind in this city and Harlan's Toggery Shop is the only one of its kind for the Colored people? Go to Harlan's new place of business, young and old men, if you want first class goods and for less than you pay elsewhere. There is no reason for the patrons of these two stores to base their excuse on false notions. Now is the time for the Negro to show his race pride. Instead of two clerks in these stores there is no reason or excuse for not having twenty clerks. The Colored people should help themselves by patronizing such places managed and controlled by the race. This doesn't mean that all should not patronize places of our white friends. There are hundreds of white firms in this city that do all in their power to aid the Colored people and advance their interest. Tell the firms when you call that you have decided to take the advice of The Bee. JIM CROW EXPOSITION The Colored people in this country and more especially in this city should take no stock in this alleged advertised trip to the Panama-Pacific and California Exposition. In the first place it has been advertised that there will be no accommodations for Colored Americans which is quite evident. Colored visitors are not needed. This exposition is liable to be swallowed up by a Pacific earthquake and the advice of The Bee is to the Colored people take no stock in this side show exposition. A REAL EDUCATOR Elsewhere in The Bee will be read with interest the second of a series of articles on education by Prof. Charles M. Thomas of Normal School No. 2. These articles should be read by all first class educators. Prof. Thomas is a man of ability and one of the best educators of the race. In fact, he is a real educator. CHRISTIANS $ ^{*} $ The Bee is informed that the chaplain of the Y. M. C. A. died some time ago and not a member of the association went to his funeral or placed a flower upon his coffin. Can this be true? Will some one explain this seeming neglect. Our friend, Jack Lightfoot, so we are informed by Editor David E. Taylor, is no longer editor of the Atlantic City Advocate. Jack should have informed us that the toils of an editor are not as charming as law and politics. The Bee wishes Editor Taylor much success. PROF. COOK REPLIES. Prof. Geo. W. Cook has sent a reply to those who misrepresented him at the recent Howard Theater mass meeting. He never talked to any one and he defies his accusers. Let all the "weakly" sheets produce their proof. Seriously III Dunham, N. C., March 2.—Dr. Charles H. Shepard, brother of Dr. James E. Shepard, is seriously ill with pneumonia. His family are fearful of the outcome. CROOM NOTES Mr. John. T. Henson spent Sunday in Washington, D. C. Mr. Wm. C. Culver, principal of Congress Heights school, was the week-end guest of Mr. Emory R. Colt. Mrs. Mayme V. Brown spent the week-end in Washington, D. C. Rev, C. C. Nelson spent the latter part of last week in Washington, D. C. All of the public schools of this vicinity were visited last week by Messrs. Lonnie Branch of Baltimore, Md., and Wm. H. Chew, representatives of the Mutual Benefit Society of Baltimore. The pupils were given helpful and wholesome advice by both gentlemen and the teachers and pupils were generously remembered with gifts of pencils, pens, rulers, blotters and needles. FILIPINO TREES IN PERIL Deen Worcester Asks That They Be Protected From Destruction Washington.-Dean C. Worcester, exsecretary of the interior for the Philippine Islands, in reporting to the American Forestry Association of Washington on forest conditions in the Philippines, says that 40,000,000 acres, or nearly one-half of the land area of the islands, are covered by valuable virgin forests, while second growth forests hold possession of another 20,000,000 acres. He says in part: "In view of the indifference which we ourselves have shown toward the conservation of our own forest resources in the immediate past we should not wonder that the Filipinos, by which term I designate the Christianized civilized residents of the archipelago, should still be utterly indifferent to the preservation of their forests as a permanent source of wealth. "One might suppose that the sparse population of the islands could at the worst make comparatively little impression on their vast forests. Unfortunately this is not the case. For untold centuries there has prevailed the custom of obtaining land for agriculture by felling and burning the forest trees. Newly cleared lands have been abandoned as soon as cogon made its appearance. This pest is more than capable of holding its own against all comers. Its wide spreading and sharply pointed roots not only make the soil acid, but bore through any moderately soft obstacles which they encounter. Furthermore, cogon burns readily and fiercely during the dry season, destroying any young trees which may have established themselves, with the result that a deforested area which becomes a cogonal remains a cogonal unless man intervenes." AUSTRALIANS HUNT KANGAROO BY AUTO Novel Sport a New Diversion With Fast Cars. Sydney, Australia.—A new form of real sport has been discovered in Australia hunting kangaroos by motorcar. The mere chase alone is said to be productive of many thrills, calling for a fast car guided by an adept hand. To pilot a motorcar through the open country, over fields dotted with rabbit warrens and bunch grass bunkers at a speed of forty or forty-five miles an hour calls for steady nerves, a cool head and consummate skill. As the shooting is done over the side of the car the man at the wheel is forced to maneuver his craft much after the fashion of a man-o-war in order to give the rifles a chance. The hunters shoot from a bumping, swaving seat at a target which moves as fast if not faster than the car. The range varies from fifty to 100 yards. The fact that a prolonged drought had made the kangaroo a pest in the vicinity of water places caused the automobile owners to offer their services and their cars toward ridding the country of numbers of the troublesome animals. Heretofore it had been found exceeding difficult to bag the creatures without persistent and expert stalking. Kangaroo will run forty-five miles an hour with injuries that would stop a human being in his tracks. A wounded roo can easily outdistance the decept horse. CREW STARVED SIX DAYS. Terrible Experience of Shipwrecked Sailors—Two Women With Them. Santiago, Cuba.—The Ward liner Manzanillo, which arrived here, brought the shipwrecked crew of the British bark Littel V. Berinton, a lumber laden vessel from Mobile for Genoa. Captain Waldemar, his wife and niece, and the crew of nine men, huddling in part of the prow which continued afloat, remained thus for six days without food or water until they were rescued by the Manzanillo. They were taken to a hospital under the care of the British consul. Their condition is serious, but all will probably recover. SHOVELS COAL IN SLEEP. Somnambulist Gets Up at 2 A. M. and Unloads Eight Tons. Lake Odessa, Mich. In a most remarkable case of sleepwalking Jacob Herrington, a laborer, arose at 2 o'clock in the morning and shoveled eight tons of coal out of a car on the sliding into a bin belonging to Smith Bros., Velte & Co. David Leak, an employee of the firm, found him the next morning and awoke him, when he relapsed into a state of physical exhaustion. Herrington had worked at the same task the day before, and it is thought that an anxiety to complete it so that he could help his brother dig a well, preyed upon his mind until it induced sleepwalking. Old Mortar Captured. Paris.—When a company of French infantry captured a German trench it found a French mortar which had been captured in 1870 and was still doing good work. FINDS INDIAN NO MONGOL Scientist Says He Belongs to Distinct American Race. Washington.—The Indian bureau gave out an article by Arthur G. Parker, archaeologist and ethnologist of the University of the State of New York, in which the recent assertion of Cats Sells, United States commissioner of Indian affairs, that the North American Indian was not a Mongolian was sustained. Mr. Parker in his article says: "There were native Indians, American Indians, in America thousands of years before there were such races as the Chinese or Tartars, Manchus or Turanians." Continuing, he says: "There have been theories that the Indians were the lost Welsh colonists, that they were shipwrecked Japanese and even the ten lost tribes. Science has proved beyond question the foolishness of these theories, and any text book used in school or college that repeats these errors is now relegated to the heap of out of date books. "No ethnologist known to the writer believes that the Indian is a sort of accilated Chinaman or a descendant of the Mongols of Asia, but he may believe, and likely does, that the Indian descended from some parent stock that produced the Mongol and, for that matter, the Caucasian and negro. "The American Indian is the aboriginal American, and in his various divisions constitutes what is known to scientists as the American race, the most widely distributed race in the world. As such it inhabited two continents, which is to say the entire new world of the western headpiece." OLD CHURCH BELL MELTED. First Gong in Kansas Was Made of Pure Copper and Shipped In 1855. Leavenworth, Kane. With the burning of the schoolhouse at Kickapoo, what is claimed to have been the first church bell ever to summon a congregation to worship in Kansas was destroyed. The bell was shipped by boat from St. Louis to Kickapoo in 1855 and was the gift of Dr. Rufus. It was hung in the belfry of the Methodist church, claimed to be the first house of worship of that denomination erected in Kansas. In 1865 the bell was sold to the Kickapoo school board. The bell was almost of pure copper. Long before the belfry on the schoolhouse was completely consumed watchers saw the old bell melt and drop away, leaving the cast iron clapper hanging to the frame in which the bell was supported. Milwaukee, Wis.—When Archie Jones, in East Milwaukee, was talking to his brother, J. F. Jones, at Chicago, over the long distance telephone the other day the Chicagoan heard a sharp report. "My God. I'm shot!" were the words that came over the eighty-five miles of wire. "I heard it. I'll be right up," said the Chicago man. Then he heard another shot. After calling the Milwaukee police by phone he hurried to a train and two hours and twenty-three minutes later was at his brother's bedside and found that the second shot was fired by his brother's wife at herself. Jones will live, but the wife is dying. She made a statement declaring she did the shooting and said she had made a mistake and did not want Archie to serve a prison term for shooting her. She added she had been convinced that he was not planning to divorce her. * "It is terrible." she moaned. "I don't care if I die, but I don't want Archie to go because of my mistake. "I thought he was going to get a divorce. I could not think of his living with another woman. Then I waited for a chance to shoot him. I thought he was talking to a Chicago lawyer about a separation. Now he has told me it was a business deal and I have hurt him for that." MUST WASH HIS GRAVESTONE. Boston Man Leaves Fund to Have Marble Cleaned "Annually Forever." Boston--Orlando II. Davenport, who left an estate of $500,000, wanted the monument over his grave in Forest Hills cemetery scrubbed with soap once every year until the end of time. In his will he provides $50 annually for this purpose. Regarding it, the will says: "This must be done in a most careful manner, without the use of lye or acid stronger than common soap, so that all shall be kept clean and free from moss, stains or dirt." Work must be done in May, every year. "forever." The four headstones on the lot must be cleaned in the same manner. To Bux Lobsters For Troops London.-The British war office has under advisement the purchase of St. John's (N. F.) canned lobster supply for the British troops, as heretofore the bulk of the lobsters was sold to Germany, a market now closed because of the war. $100 BILL IN AN OLD VEST. Postmaster First Thought That He Had Been Robbed In City. Marysville, Mich.—Postmaster Hastleton of this city went to Port Huron to do some shopping and took with him a new $100 bill with which to make his purchases. When he had selected a number of articles in a store he found that the $100 bill was missing. He had the interurban car upon which he rode searched and retraced his steps about Port Huron and had a careful search made there, but the bill was not found. Thinking some one had picked his pocket, Hastleton notified the police department- and the sheriff of his loss. No trace of the missing bill was found. A few days ago Hazleton heard a slight crinkling in the lining of a vest and after reaching into a pocket discovered a hole in the bottom of it. Delving deep down into the lining, he discovered his new $100 bill between the cloth and the lining. The bill had evidently slipped through the hole, which the postmaster did not know was there. HYPNOTIZED, SAID TO SEE Professor Waugh Claims Cure of Total Blindness Through Sugoitation Beloit, Wis.—Through hypnotic suggestion Professor Karl T. Waugh of the Beloit college psychology and philosophy department declares he has brought out of total blindness and stammering Fay H. Chase, a sophomore, from River Forest, Ill. Hypnotizing the student through the monotonous buzzing of a tuning fork, Dr. Waugh kept him in this state for ten minutes, repeating to him continuously that he could see, that he would see clearly, and would always be able to see. Arousing the patient, the professor kept up the suggestion process, thereby "establishing a path in the brain from ear to ear." THE PEOPLE'S One of the most up-to-date barber shops is the People's, 19161-2 Fourteenth street northwest. The artists at this shop are all first class and no doubt among the best in the city. If you want a clean shave and an up-to-date hair cut you should not fall to visit the People's. Give it a call. GEO. H. SMALLWOOD Subscribers and patrons of The Bee are notified that George H. Smallwood is no longer connected with this paper and no moneys should be paid to him W. CALVIN CHASE NOT EDITOR. The Bee stated last week that its good friend, James A. Lightfoot, was the editor of the Atlantic City Advocate, but it was a mistake. Mr. David E. Taylor is the editor and has been for two months. The Bee had not read of a change in its editorship, hence the mistake. HARLAN'S Why go elsewhere when the Colored people have a first-class furnishing store. Everything is first class.

Barrett, the popular and hustling young president of the local chapter of Epworth League at Robert Chapel and Field agent of the Leagues on the Alexandria District, though noted for bringing us the best available speakers from time to time, many times acquiring the services of the very best men and women in public life, did on last Sunday succeed in obtaining the valuable services of Lawyer W. Calvin Chase, editor of the Washington Bee, who addressed the League in words which fell on the ears of race-loving Negroes, especially our business men and women, like a mid-summer rain on a parched garden after many months of drought. Editor Chase took for his subject, "The Mission of the Negro Press." Miss Ethel A. Robinson, of The Bec, was introduced and recited a beautiful poem. Her speaking and singing were charming. The occasion being a joint meeting of the Junlor Epworth League of which Mrs. Maggle E. Evans is the superintendent; and the Senior Epworth League, the choir of the Senior League, under the direction of Mr. P. H. Lumpkins, furnished the musical program together with an exceptionally interesting program by the little ones. Miss Martha E. Buckner presided at the organ and little Miss Helen C. Lumpkins, the nine-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Patrick H. Lumpkins, presided over the meeting of the Juniors in a most womanly manner.

"Honeymoon" Trip to Panama-Pacific Exposition and a "Swing Around the Circle" Homeward.—An Event of Nationwide Significance. The marriage of Mr. Robert H. Rutherford, of this city, and Miss Adelaide Elwood Cardozo, of Baltimore, Md., took place, March 10. It was a social event of nationwide significance. Mr. Rutherford is the son of Mr. S. W. Rutherford, and though young, has become one of the leading business men of the country, being vice president and member of the board of directors and of the executive committee of the National Benefit Association, said to be the wealthiest insurance corporation controlled by Colored people in the land. Miss Cardozo is a graduate of the Baltimore High School, a lady of charming personality, and has been a reigning belle in the younger social set of the Monumental City. The happy function took place at the handsome home of Mr. and Mrs. Ellicott B. Madden, 1733 13th street northwest, and Rev. F. F. Grimke, pastor of the 15th street, Presbyterian, pronounced the stately Episcopal service, amid which Miss Eslander Cardozo, sister of the bride, played softly the inspiring strains of "Bridal Roses." The bride was given away by her brother, Dr. F. J. Cardozo, of Baltimore.

Charles Y. Trigg, pastor of the Warren M. E. Church, of Pittsburgh, acted as "best man." Miss Cardozo presented a dainty picture, tastefully attired in an elegant traveling suit of sand (the latest color in dress material) manila cloth, a sand-colored Milan straw hat, trimmed with roses and ribbon. The veil and gloves were in harmony with the prevailing tint of sand, and the shoes, black-laced, had sand colored tops. She carried a massive bouquet of lilies of the valley, with white rosebuds and malden-hair fern. The groom and the gentlemen participating wore the "conventional black." The decorations in the spacious double parlors were lavish throughout, admirably set off by a baywindow banked, with ferns, palms and cut flowers. The ceremony was witnessed only by relatives of the high-contracting parties and a group of the officers of the National Benefit Association. Following the plighting of the vows, a toothsome collation was served by an expert caterer, after which Mr. and Mrs. Rutherford were whisked away in an auto to the Union Station, to begin a lengthy "honeymoon" tour, which will include a visit to the Panama-Pacific Exposition at San Francisco, Cal., with many stops en route to the coast and returning. The first leg of the journey will be over the southern swing of railroad travel, with a first stop at Atlanta, Ga., the natal city of the groom, where a visit will be paid Mr. Rutherford's sister, Mrs. J. B. Watson. The itinerary calls for brief "lay-overs" at Birmingham, New Orleans, San Antonio, Los Angeles, San Diego (where an exposition is also in progress), and then San Francisco, for the international display, reaching there March 30. Returning they will touch Salt Lake City, Colorado Springs, Denver, Omaha, Kansas City, Davenport and Chicago, finally reaching Washington April 11, after which date they will be "at home" to their friends at their newly-built and altogether superb residence, 1241 12th street northwest. This home, conservatively estimated to be worth $7,500, is conceded to be the most finely-appointed house owned by Colored persons in the District. It is the "last word" in household architecture—a dream" in stone, brick and wood—with every conceivable modern improvement. The building is of tapestry brick, stone trimming, and the interior is finished in oak, with mahogany doors. The color scheme in paper is artistic, and the lighting fixtures, with the indirect illumination, offer restfulness with brilliance. The entire place takes on the aspect of a fairy bower, every room having its distinctive feature of interest. The furnishings are in keeping with the architecture. The parlor pieces are of mahogany, and this expensive wood prevails in the dining room, sewing room and the bridal chamber. The latter has the Sheraton mahogany, with a carved brass bed. The library, furnished throughout in fumed oak, is well stocked with with the productions of the best Negro authors. A guest chamber in white, tiled bath, modern kitchen and pantry and airy cellar, with an elaborate heating plant (hot water system) and stationary tubs, together with room porches at rear of both floors, complete the delightful outfit. Appropriate pictures adorn the walls and in the reception hall is a majestic mahogany "grandfather's clock." The function being private—no invitations issued—the presents at this time are few but rich. The groom's gift to his bride was a costly lavaller, of special design, with pearls and diamonds set in green gold leaf. A mahogany Knabe piano, costing $500, was presented to the happy pair by Mr. S. W. Rutherford, father of the groom, and secretary and general manager of the National Benefit Association whose business acumen is shown in the fact that in a few years he has developed from nothing a corporation owning $185,000 worth of gilt-edged bonds and real estate that bride the total holdings up to nearly $250,000, and operating in eight of the principal states of the union. It is worthy of note that the groom, Mr. R. H. Rutherford, has risen to prominence and official distinction in this unique organization, which has decided genius for constructive work has helped to build. In addition to his responsibilities enumerated above, he is the general publicity manager and chief traveling representative. He is an authority on insurance and has contributed informing articles on insurance and kindred subjects to a number of the leading insurance and financial journals of the country.

We know that the influence and thoughts of great men are as potent today as when they lived on earth. We believe, also, that there are certain gifted and highly sensitive persons who, by the power of great concentration, can tune their mental organization in harmony with the mental organization of others, whether living or dead, and thus receive messages from souls that are in the body and those that are out of the body. Such sensitive persons may at will make themselves a medium of communication between the minds of the living as well as between the minds of the living and the dead (so called). Her psychic powers were revealed to her many years ago; and at first she had no intention to employ them professionally, but as soon as they became known to her acquaintances, she was constantly importuned for readings and advice. Prominent mediums soon learned of her extraodinary gift and urged her to develop systematically under some experienced occultist. Pursuant to this advice she joined a psychic class, and after two years of discipline and training, she began to sit for public demonstrations. It is no part of Madam Houston's work, nor does she profess to be able to read the palm of the hand, to bring good luck, to restore lost affections, to impose spells or remove them, or to do anything that pertains to fortune telling, conjuration or black magic. She is an intelligent, Christian spiritualist, and prays, concentrates, submits herself to the control of the higher intelligences and then communicates only what they reveal to her. She reads the past, the present and the future with marvelous accuracy, and is at her best when it is desired that she put herself in rapport with spirits of departed friends. These she describes with such detail as to appearance, speech and manners that they are easily recognized, and she gives to the living whatever message of love, of advice or warning such spirits may wish to be conveyed. She predicts without mistake prosperity, loss of position, change of residence, domestic infelicity, secret enemies, sickness, death and a variety of important matters, which being known in advance may be provided for. Madam Houston believes that few persons are acquainted with the psychic powers they possess, and that many possess the gift to a rare degree but are totally ignorant of it; and for this reason she instructs a psychic class every Tuesday evening from 8 o'clock to 10 o'clock, in which class some of the students are developing rapidly. The popularity of Madam Houston is shown by the liberal patronage she receives from the intelligent element in this community, including clergymen, teachers, lawyers, physcians and government employees.

STRENUOUS LIFE OFFOREIGN LEGION In Trenches With Americans of Famous French Unit. READY FOR FEAST OR FIGHT There Are Men From Every Part of the United States and From the Higher to the Lesser Degrees In the Social Scale—Galveston Negro Serving as Cook Mourned by All When Killed. London—Always ready for a feast or a frolic and the greatest fighting unit in the French army is the description applied to the French-American Foreign legion by one of its members, Phil Bader, Chicago writer, artist and soldier. Back, on a furlough from the trenches, where sometimes waist deep in water the troops hide from the terrific artillery fire, the Chicagoan painted an intimate word picture of the type of men who have adopted the tricolor as their flag in the present war. "There are Americans in the service from every part of the United States and from every walk of life," said Bader. "I think the most interesting of the whole lot that I met was Eugene Jacob, whose wife is running his butcher shop in Pawtucket, R.I., while he fights for France. Both he and his wife were born in Belgium. "Jacob is the most fervent German hater that I know of. Even during the Christmas truce he refused to lay his feelings aside, and just before we left our trenches to meet the Germans and exchange cigars and greetings he fixed his bayonet and declared that if we brought a single German into the trench he would kill him. And all day Christmas he sulked. Fought. Then Shook Hands. "Then, later, one day a German who was drunk wandered into our trenches and taunted us, but we respected his bravery and admired him. But not Jacob. He and the German had a dandy fist fight in the trench, but aft erward they shook hands and became friends. Jacob told the camp if he had whined he would have killed him, but that he had found that he was a man even though he was a German. "Bartlett Donnell of Brooklyn was killed by a shell while I was near him. He told me that he came to the war because his girl had told him to go out into the world and accomplish something. I don't know who the girl was, but she lost the coolest, quietest and bravest man in the legion. "Another American is from St. Louis, John Street, an evangelist. He grew very hopeful that a reconciliation was coming during the Christmas truce, when we smoked, walked arm in arm and played with the Germans. The following day Street got out of his trench in the early morning and waved his hand to a German friend in a trench fifty feet distant. A bullet went through his head and he dropped dead. Missed Negro Singer. "George Ullard, a Galveston negro, was our cook and a fine one. He was the best singer for hundreds of feet on both lines of trenches, and the Germans loved his songs. He taught them to sing 'Sailing Down Chesapeake Bay,' but one day a shell blew Ullard's trench to pieces and he was killed. Next day the Germans yelled to us to have George sing. When we told them that he was dead they yelled back that they were sorry, as all of the riflemen in the trenches had agreed not to shoot the cheerful black man who sang so well." Rader was mentioned in dispatches for destroying a straw stack in which four German machine guns had been hidden. Rader and two companions fastened beet leaves to a gunny sack and, shielded by it, crawled to the straw stack through a beet field and set fire to it. For forty-seven days. Rader says, he was in trenches filled with water and mud. SHOT, PILOT STUCK TO POST. Guided British Warship Under Fire In Suez Canal Though Wounded. Catro. A stirring little story of quiet heroism displayed during the battle against the Turkish invaders the other day has been told here. The hero of the incident is a pilot named Carew, who was on board the warship Hardinge, one of the vessels engaged on the canal helping to repel the Ottoman attack. The ship came under the heaviest fire, and Carew was severely wounded in the arm and leg. He would not, however, leave his post, although suffering terribly. "Bring me a chair and prop me up," he said to one of the crew. "I will see you through." The gallant pilot is now in the hospital, where it was found necessary to amputate his leg. Happily he is making good progress, and his recovery is assured. London. The war has caused an unprecedented number of dogs to be abandoned in London, although the penalty for such is a $100 fine or six months' imprisonment. Appeals are made in the press for individuals to ransom the animals and give them to the troops as mascots. STORE CLOSES; EXIT VILLAGE Town Wiped Off Map by Appointment of Receivers For Big Concern. Sioux Falls, S. D.-Tivis, a frontier village in Bennington county, is no more. Closing up of the affairs of the Consumers' Supply company here by a receiver marked the passing of the town and also one of the unique stores of the west. For years the store stood on the prairie several miles from the nearest neighbor and. forty-five miles from a railroad. The store was equipped like a department store in a city of 25,000. The company was formed in 1908, following the settlement of the surrounding country by homesteaders in the boom days. George E. Tivis, for whom the town, consisting of the store, was named, had been in the country many years and had conducted a small store on his ranch. Later he formed the Consumers' Supply company, with a capital of $50,000, and built a magnificent store, newspaper office and bank building. The store was stocked with everything from thrashing machines and traction engines to groceries. Tivis recently disappeared, and the appointment of the receiver followed. Had the homesteaders who occupied the surrounding region been able to raise good crops each year the "city store on the prairie" might have succeeded. Many of the homesteaders were unable to make farming pay and left the country. London. So intently is the attention of the public concentrated on the deeds of the troops on the firing line that recognition of the valuable work performed by the medical service on the battlefields of Europe has been by no means adequate outside of official circles. Hourly the gallant army of physicians, surgeons, nurses and medical troops of all the nations involved in the titanic conflict respond to unexampled demands. In a recent letter published in the Edinburgh Scotsman a medical officer of the British service relates some of the interesting incidents w y at the several recelvin d here at prac- tices the officer, with all possible ice and sent out 110 AMERICAN RED CROSS NURSES IN PARIS. to the hospitals and into the hands of men and women of all nationalities, who nurse and doctor them. "They're wonderful chaps, those soldiers. Great stuff; too good to lose. They are brought to us at all hours, exhausted, covered with mud, hastily but well bandaged on common sense principles, and aye the quiet, plucky grin or the patient set of the jaw. "What price this little lot, doctor?" and the querist indicates where the bullet entered his thigh. 'And me football leg, too!' growled another, brought in dripping one night. 'And who the (excision by censor) will do the scorin' fur the ould tame now? All the same, sir, I scored ag'in the man that did this or wan av his side. "And so it goes on. It's a great experience this. As a surgeon, I know its value. But I wish it was over. It's awful. The stream of wounded seems unceasing, and sometimes I ask myself, when I have time to realize it at all, how long I shall be able to stand the strain. We must do our work, however, and I'm proud to do it for those grand men—the "Tommies." Cardinal at the Front. London.—Cardinal Bourne and Mgr.

Mr. Morris Believes That He Should Be Rocked and Sung To. Greenwood. Del. - James Morris, eighty-four years old, has had trouble enough for the last twenty years with bolls, rheumatism and dyspepsia without the last blight, which, he declares, has put him in a twin bed with Job. Mr. Morris is cutting teeth, a process which usually occurs before the suffering human is capable of effectively expressing himself in the matter. For years Mr. Morris has had but two teeth, which, thanks to Providence hit. He has been getting on fairly well, but for the aforementioned alliments and had no hope of ever doing any heavy chewing again. Then four teeth appeared on his lower jaw, and this week two more started through, accompanied by the most annoying aches and jumps. "I'm not kicking nor, as a matter of fact, biting," said Mr. Morris, "but it's bad enough to have teeth cut through without being so old that no one cares to rock you or sing you a trifling ditty that might produce sleep or total coma." GIRL KILLS DEER NEAR HOME. Young New Hampshire Huntress a Good Shot. Concord, N. H. To Miss Ruth Gilman, fifteen years old, of Penacook, N. H., probably belongs the honor of being the youngest woman in New England to kill a deer this season. Thus far no one has disputed the honor. The 150 pound doe the little girl shot this week within a mile of her own home was the first deer she had ever fired at and one of a very few she had ever seen, although she had roamed the fields and woods of central New Hampshire since she was able to toddle and is an expert with the rifle or shotgun. She has killed scores of small game, squirrels, rabbits and partridge, but it had never been her good fortune to get 1 shot at a real live deer until this season, and then her first shot brought down the game HOW TO SPELL NAME OF THE BADGER STATE "Wiskonsan" Correct, as Shown by an Old Document. Foul du Lac, Wis.—W-i-s-k-o-n-s-a-n seems to have been the perfectly proper way of spelling the name of this state in the old territorial days back in '44. Many pioneer residents of the state can remember when Wisconsin was spelled that way, but W. F, Sealey, county clerk, has discovered, a document which provides better evidence than memory. It is a certificate of election issued to Paul D. Hayward as justice of the peace in the township of Stockbridge, dated June 2, 1844, and signed by Duane Doty, then territorial governor. Each of the three peoples who have successively occupied the state, Indians, French and Anglo Saxons, have left us in their names a record of their first impressions and sometimes even a trace of legendary history. The name of the state and of its greatest river. Wisconsin, is a corrupted form of an Indian term whose exact meaning is now unknown, though it has usually been translated "gathering of waters." Ouisconsin, Wisconsin, Ouisconching, Ouiskensing. Wiskansan are a few of the spellings which appear in old documents and on time stained maps before the present form was evolved. The name of the largest lake within the state, Winnebago, suggests an interesting history of the Indian tribes whence it came. The original Algonquin form was "ounlpegou," meaning "men of the ill smelling water." a name which the tribe gained from having originally dwelt on the shores of Lake Winnipeg, well known for its odorous sulphur springs. 4.

A rumor was circulated some few weeks ago, that a great fight took place between little him and big him and that little him thrashed big him. For 30 or 40 years every poodle, bull hound, blood hound, in fact, dogs from common curs to Newfoundland, would bark at little him whenever he passed. The curs and poodles circulated reports that big him was whipped and every poodle at the last moment gave his bark and endearved to explain the reasons why. This last breed of dogs are the most harmless that exists. They can't help from barking and more especially if they have been promised a piece of meat and it gets the bone. A rumor is first circulated by curs, then the poodles and lastly, the bull pup, which is less harmless than all dog species. WARE'S SHOE STORE. WARE'S SHOE STORE.

Darkness Masquerades as Light—Foolish Words Mislead the Ignorant. Christians Often "Babes In Christ." Few Have Their Senses Exercised by Reason of Use—Bible Study Never More Needed Than Now—"What Say the Scriptures?" Not, What Say the Presachers, Evangelists and Creeds? New York, Mar. 7.-Speaking at the New York City Temple today, Pastor Russell took for his text John 134: "I saw and bare record that this is the Son of God." He declared that about three- tourhs of all the preachers are his enemies. Because PASTOR RUSSELL they cannot resist the force of his Bible teachings, they mlsrepresent them and vilify his reputation, that thus they may binder good people from hearing and from reading. "By their fruits ye shall know them," said the Master; and evidently many clergymen must be seriously wrong of heart; else they would not bear these unscriptural fruits — unmanly fruits—"works of the Gesh and of the Deyll."—Galattius 5.19:21; J. John 3:8. But the Pastor would not slack his efforts to make known the true character of the God of the Bible, so in contrast with the Satanic god of the creeds. Thousands of letters from all parts of the world tell him of new life, new joy in the Lord, through his efforts; and he is encouraged to go onward in the narrow way which the Master and the Apostles trod. He would not render personal abuse in retaliation. To do so would be contrary to the Word and Spirit of the Lord. But the creeds and false doctrines he would continue to smash with all the power granted him, that thus hungering, thirsting souls might be delivered from error into the joyous liberty of the children of God. Denying the Son of God. Billy Sunday has joined other evangelists and preachers in the slanderous misstatements that Pastor Russell denies that Jesus is the Son of God. By such false statements, said the Pastor, they seek to prevent people from coming to hear me and from reading my Bible expositions. Yet how foolish it is for them to make such deliberate misstatements; for eventually their falsehoods will be found out! People who learn of the gross misrepresentation realize that only desperation, attempting to support a weak cause, could lead men professing to be ministers of the Truth to thus do it violence. Really, it is I who believe that Jesus is the Son of God, while the great majority of preachers and evangelists do not clearly so teach. They confuse their argument and bewilder their hearers by telling in one breath that Jesus is the Son of God, and in the next breath that He is His own Father According to them, He is Jehovah God, who sent His Son into the world to die, and He is the Son who sent Himself, as God. When He prayed to the Father it was a mockery; for He was the Father—"one in person." When he said, "The Father is greater than I." He misrepresented the facts, according to these preachers, evangelists and creed-makers. He spoke of the Cup which the Father had poured for Him, and said He could do nothing of Himself, and that He would return to the Father. He prayed, "My God! My God! Why hast Thon forsaken Me!" and said to Mary, "I have not yet ascended to My Father and your Father, to My God and your God." But these wiser-than-the-Bible teachers contradict Him, and feel like saying, "Jesus must have been a Millennial Dawner! But we know better!" Such teachers make void the Word of God through their traditions. In claiming that Jesus is Jehovah God, they really deny that He is the Son of God, for common sense tells everybody that a son receives his life from the father. This is exactly what the Bible tells us respecting Jesus. Truthful Criticism Invited. I invite truthful criticisms of my teachings, but my opponents know that to treat me fairly, justly, would be to turn all thinking people to my side—the Bible side—the reasonable side. For thirty years they ignored my presentations, lest people should find out, but as my sermons now reach millions, they are alarmed for the safety of their musty creeds, and resort to rank falsehoods, misrepresentations and slanders—the weapons of moral cowards, who realize their own weakness. If they would charge me with disbeving the doctrine of the Trinity—that three ones are one—I would cheerfully admit it, and point them to the fact that the word Trinity is not found in the Bible, and that the thought of a trinity is not there, except in one passage, which all scholars of all denominations admit is a forgery of the Seventh Century—I John 5:7, 8. See Revised Version. I believe in the Heavenly Father, Je hovah God. I believe in His Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, who left the Heavenly nature, took the human nature, dled for our sins, and was afterward highly exalted to the Divine nature. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of the Truth, the Spirit of God, the Spirit of Christ. My crime is that I do not believe that the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are "one in person, equal in power and glory," neither one existing before the others, neither one the Son and neither one the Father, really. The Bible says nothing of this kind; and I am glad that my head is not so illogical as to lead me to deny the Bible and common sense for the sake of being in harmony with creeds made in the Dark Ages. "Who Art Thou, Lord?" "Jesus!" The Bible makes no mystery of who Jesus is; and we would not have been in confusion had we relied solely upon the testimony of Jesus, the Apostles and the Prephets. Our misleading came during the twelve hundred years when the Bible was ignored, because it was believed that the living bishops were Apostolic and had the plenary powers of the original Apostles. This serious error Jesus emphatically warned against in advance. Revelation 2.2. The Bible tells of Jesus' present glorious station, "far above angels," "partaker of the Divine nature." But many ignore this, and claim that Jesus is a man in Heaven, completely out of touch with His surroundings; for a man, according to the Bible, is "a little lower than angels," whereas the Apostle declares that Jesus, at His resurrection, was exalted far above angels. This glorious One, although of a different nature, is the same One who, while on earth, was "the Man Christ Jesus," "a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief." St. Paul tells us how Jesus left the Heavenly glory, how He humbled Himself to take a berdman's form—to take the same nature as humanity, which had come into bondage to sin. The Bible explains how Jesus could be of our race, and yet be "holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners." It tells us plainly that Jesus had a human mother, but that His life came not from a human father; and that therefore He was perfect, and able to be the Ransomer of the race by giving to God sacrificially a full corresponding price for Adam, whose life was forfeited because of sin. Thus the Bible explains that Jesus' death is sufficient for Adam's sin and the sins of the whole world; for the world was not condemned individually, but merely partook of Adam's condemnation to death. Whoever thinks of Jesus as being the Father and also the Holy Spirit—all one in person—must be confronted with nonsensical errors such as these: How did the Universe manage to progress during the period leading up to Jesus' birth and on to manhood? How did the affairs of the Universe prosper during Jesus' ministry, when He was fully engaged with earthly affairs to the extent of weariness? How did the Universe get along when Jesus died, and until He arose from death? Some even go to this absurd length, to wit, that Jesus raised Himself from death; whereas the Apostle declares positively that the Father raised Him from the dead on the third day. How refreshing it is to get out of the fog into the clear statements of God's Word, which declare (1) "To us there is one God, the Father," (2) "and one Lord, Jesus Christ!" -1 Corinthians 8:6. "Beginning of God's Creation." "Beginning of God's Creation: It seems astounding if my opponents have never read the plain Bible statements that our glorious Redeemer was "the First-born of all creation" (Colossians 1:15), "the beginning of the creation of God" (Revelation 3:14), if they have read these simple, plain Bible statements, why do they prefer the confusing views of the Dark Age respecting a Trinity of three persons yet one person? Some say one God in three persons; others say three Gods in one person. Both propositions are alike unscientific and absurd. Jesus Himself, in His last Message to His Church, declared, "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the ending, the first and the last." (Revelation 1:S, 11). Thus He clearly differentiates between Himself and the Father; for the Father had no beginning—"From everlasting to everlasting Thou art God." Do our opponents claim that Jesus is God? We agree most heartily, provided the word God is understood in the sense in which the Bible uses it. Throughout the Old Testament the word for God is elohim—mighty one. It is applied to Jehovah, the Almighty One; it is also applied to angels and to men whom He sent as His messengers. According to this view, our Lord Jesus Christ is a God. The Bible clearly indicates that He is above all other gods except Jehovah. In harmony with this we read respecting Messiah and His Kingdom: "Thy throne, O God, is forever and ever." The Apostle applies these worlddistinctly to Jesus, but does not say this proves that Jesus was His own Father, nor does he ignore the Almighty God, of whom are all things. On the contrary, the context tells us explicitly that the Father, who always was above all, as a reward exalted His Son to this glorious Kingship and Godship, declaring that even the angels of Heaven should worship Him.-Hebrews 1:1-9. One very simple statement confuses some needlessly. It reads, "I and My Father are one." It does not say one person. It refers to the oneness of spirit, or harmony, between the Father and the Son; and this oneness is explained by our Lord, assuring us that He came not to do His own will, but the will of the Father. Since He accepted the Father's will in everything, He and the Father were always one in purpose. Jesus prayed for the Church, saying, I pray for them that Thou hast given Me, that they all may be one in Us, even as Thou, Father, and I are one. (John 17:9, 20:24.) Surely no one wou- claim that Jesus expected His Church to Lecome one lion! And it is equally absurd to think that He and the Father are one person. Because Jesus was thus the Father's Representative, in the only sense that men could see the invisible Jehovah, He answered Philip on one occasion, "He that hath seen Me hath seen the Father." Thus the President's secretary would say to a caller, "I represent the President." "In the Beginning Was the Logos." As Matthew's and Luke's Gospels make very plain how the glorious Son of God was made flesh, yet not a partaker of human sin, so St John's Gospel provides us with information still further back, pointing out and explaining clearly the glorious prehuman nature of the Son of God. The translation, however, is slightly defective, and hides from the English reader the full import of the opening verses which, literally translated, read: "In the beginning was the Logos, and the Logos was with the God, and the Logos was a god. The same was in the beginning with the God. By Him were all things made, and without Him was not one thing made. * * * And the Logos was made flesh and dwelt among us; and we beheld His glory, the glory of an Only Regenerated of the Father, full of grace and truth." - John 1:13-14. The beautiful simplicity of this account is wonderful. The beginning it mentions was not that of Jehovah's existence, which the Bible declares was without beginning. The word refers to the beginning of creation, and immediately introduces us to the great Logos, "the Beginning of the creation of God." (Stevelation 3:14.) While the name Logos may be not improperly translated Word, it has a much fuller significance; namely, representative, messenger, mouthpiece. Jehovah's entire Message has been, and will be, given to angels and to men through the great Logos. He wrote the Alpha, the first; the Father created none before Him. He is the Omega, the last; the Father has directly created none since Him. This explains simply, satisfactorily, that all subsequent creations, while executed by Jehovah's Power, were worked out by His great Son, the Logos. "By Him were all things made that were made." When the time came for the out working of the great Divine Plan for human salvation, and, incidentally, the showing forth of God's Justice, Wisdom, Love and Power, the offer properly came first to the Logos. The proposition to be man's Redeemer carried with it a great blessing, as St Paul explains. (Hebrews 12:2; Colosians 1:18). This exaltation to God's right hand, far above all other creatures, was an advance step. Although originally higher than all the others, the Logos was not so "far above" then. It was God's purpose to have a New Creation; and the Logos, through the redemptive Plan, was to be the first and chiefest on that highest plane—the Divine nature. During this Gospel Age, God has been calling and accepting the honest, the obedient, lovers of righteousness, haters of iniquity, to be associates with Jesus in the Kingdom and participants with Him in the highest nature of all—the Divine. So, St. Peter declares, "God hath given unto us [the truly consecrated, the Church] exceeding great and precious promises, that by these we might become partakers of the Divine nature."—2 Peter 1:4; Hebrews 2:10. Is it right, is it Christian, is it true, is it manly, to charge my teachings with denying that Jesus is the Son of God? What object could there be in so doing except to keep the Lord's hungry sheep away from the green pastures of Divine Truth? Well do my traduces know that they have nothing Biblical, same or sensible to give instead! The very bitterness manifested by ministers against me is being used of the Lord to arouse in investigation amongst those who are truly His people. If my reputation must be thus assassinated in order that the true sheep may hear the Master's voice, I shall acquiesce as joyfully as possible, remembering that it will be difficult for them to say blitterer or untruer things of me than they said of my Master. My crime is the same that inclined the Pharisee against Jesus and the Apostles. "They were angry that they taught the people." Preachers who do not believe in eternal torment any more than I do are angry that I am informing the people; for they fear that the people will justly think that their ministers deal dishonestly, receiving wages for keeping them in darkness. The time has come when all who are for the right, the Truth, should manifest themselves. I have many letters from ministers, marked personal and private, assuring me of their sympathy with my work, but fearful to come out boldly. I am sorry for these. The Lord exhorts, "Be thou very courageous." "He that hath a dream [an imagination], let him tell the dream [If he has nothing better to tell]; but he that hath My Word, let him speak My Word fearlessly."—Jeremih 23:28. As our knowledge of God and of His glorious Son, and our true understanding of the Holy Spirit, become clearer we can the better worship God; for the eyes of our understanding opening wider and wider, we shall comprehend with all saints the lengths and breadths, the heights and depths, and know the love of God—whom to know aright implies fitness for life everlasting—Ephesians 3:17-19. CONSTANTINOPLE IS RUSSIA'S GOAL Turkish Capital Long Hungered For by Gzars. MANY ATTEMPTS TO GAIN IT Last Great Effort of Encroachment on Part of Muscovite Power Met With Dizzatrous Defeat at Hands of England and France in Crimean War. Ambassador Morgenthau Busy. Washington.—With the capture of Constantinople our ambassador to Turkey, Henry Morgenthau, would become the busiest man in that country. He at present is busy enough taking care of the various duties intrusted to him as our representative by the various enemies of Turkey. But with the occupation of the Ottoman capital by an enemy he must be ready to see that the United States is recognized in any reconstructive policy which the captor or captors may adopt. Once again Russia has set the feet of her soldiers toward Constantinople, and the prows of her battleships are pointed toward the Golden Horn. For eleven centuries the rulers of the greatest Slav nation in Europe have held the ambition to take that "window toward the sea" in the south as eight centuries after their first assault PETER H. BURGESS Photo by American Press Association. HENRY MORGENTHAU, AMERICAN AMBASSA- DOR TO TURKEY. on Constantinople Peter the Great fought and won a "window to the west" on the Baltic. Time and again have Norse princes and Russian grand dukes and czars faced the south in boats and at the head of armies with Constantinople as their objective. Time and again they have been thwarted in their ambitions by forces ranging from the effect of a miraculous robe cast into the sea to Greek fire, military prowess of Byzantine and Turk and of the armies and feets of her present allies, France and Great Britain. Russia Wins In the End. Traditionally Russia never abandons an objective. Historically she has made advances north, east, south and west, has taken lands and cities and has had in the case of the Crimea and Manchuria—to give them back to conquering nations. But she eventually won the Crimea for her own, and this lesson may be repeated some centuries hence on the littoral of the Pacific. To speculate on the outcome of her present campaign against the Turk and his last stronghold in Europe is idle. But one may, well believe out of her past record of similar campaigns that another defeat will do nothing to conquer her ambitions to raise the cross of the Greek church above the crescent of Mohammed's principles or of the more practical outlet for her ships of war from the Black sea.[5] There is something beyond patriotic and religious fervor in Russia's ambition to gain control of the key to the most ancient trade route in the world. Crimean War. In 1833 and again in 1841 the Russian ruler, after many attempts, schemed to take Constantinople, but England and France protested with such good purpose that Russia's designs on Czargrad were blocked once more. In 1832 Nicholas informed the British minister to his court that all Russia wanted was to be the "trustee" of the Turks in Constantinople and not its proprietor. His plans for the establishment of the "trusteeship" looked so threatening that England and France assembled their fleets, and the great Crimean war followed in 1854 and 1855. By the treaty of Paris of 1856 Russia once more was set back in her designs on Constantinople that had been in her heart for a thousand years. She lost control of the Danube delta, and the Black sea was to be a basin for her warships that never could sail westward toward the Mediterranean again. By this treaty was indefinitely postponed the execution of the making of Russia the restored eastern empire. ROSE GIN HY 216 Hinth Street. N. W.
