IF IT'S NEWS, IT'S IN THE BEE, FOR THE BEE IS A NEWSPAPER. THE BEE WASHINGTON Washington's Best and Leading Negro Newspaper-That's THE BEE VOL. XXXV, NO. 47 WASHINGTON, I. D. C., SATURDAY, MAY 1, 1915 THE FATAL AUTQ RIDE Assistant Superintendent R. C. Bruce and Companions Injured in a Wreck. Four Seriously Injured, One Escapes. MOTHER AND WIFE AT HIS BEDSIDE. A SYMPATHETIC MEETING. Wednesday morning, April 21st, a telegram was sent to one of the morning papers that assistant superintendent of schools, Mr. Roscoe C. Bruce, with his private secretary, were injured in an automobile wreck near Relay, Md. In another published account, it was stated besides Mr. Bruce who was injured in a wreck near Relay, Md., were his secretary, Mr. Morton, Miss Jesse Wormley, a Mr. Martin, Miss Jesse Wormley, a teacher in the Normal School, her two sisters, Merriam Wormley Lewis, and Miss Helen Anderson. Nothing definite has yet been published as to how the accident happened or who were really in the car, other than those who have been previously mentioned. It is stated that Mr. Bruce was at the Franklin Building from 3 until 8 o'clock p. m.; that he was waiting to be called in the Normal School case which was called up just prior to Mr. Bruce's leaving it is said to attend a birthday party at which place his mother was attending. Miss Jesse Wormley was seen between 5 and 5:30 o'clock and it was stated was going to the Franklin school. After which time she and her two sisters were seen leaving their home and one of the ladies remarked that they all were going to the Howard theater. They were seen in the Howard Theater until 8 o'clock at which time they left and when last heard from they all had been injured in a wreck coming from some place in Maryland, and instead of taking the road to the left they took the wrong road. Mr. Bruce and Miss Jess Wormley were seated in front; Mr. Bruce was driving the car and Miss Wormley was seated on his left. The other two females were seated in the back, it is said, with Mr. Morton, Mr. Bruce's secretary. Where they were coming from has not been published. The car was going at a high rate of speed and when the crash came Mr. Bruce and Miss Jesse Wormley were thrown twenty or thirty feet. Mr. Bruce sustained several cuts upon his head and in his face, disfiguring his MR. ROSCOE C. BRUCE, Dangerously injured and at Mercy Hospital. Baltimore, with mother and wife by his side. eyes and injuring his skull, and when he was picked up he was unconscious. Miss Jesse Wormley" had her front teeth knocked out and one arm and leg broken, one leg badly bruised and in such a condition the doctors were not able to operate on it. One of Miss Wormley's eyes was badly cut. She is more badly injured than her sisters. Mrs. Anderson and Mrs. Merriam Wormley Lewis were thrown out and sustained broken arms and broken legs. Mr. Morton, whom it was alleged, was seated next to the two females, claimed not to have been injured at all. Just how Mr. Morton escaped injury has not been explained as yet. Mr. Bruce was carried to Mercy Hospital in Baltimore in an unconscious condition and it was several days before he gained consciousness. Dr. Williston was telephoned for to come at once and bring a car and convey the injured to the city. It was some time before he secured a vehicle and when he did get one it was the ambulance of the James Brothers who made double-quick time in arriving at Laurel, Md., where he found the three females in a dangerous and serious condition. They were all placed into the ambulance of the James Brothers and conveyed to their homes upon stretchers where they are being attended by Dr. Williston and others. According to the Statement Made by Dr. Lucy Moten, Principal of Normal School No. 2. A most peculiar coincident occurred on the morning of April 22. Thursday, when the principal of Normal School No. 2, Dr. Moten, arrived. In making her rounds she found that Miss Jesse Wormley was absent, but she was marked present on the register. At first Miss Moten gave the matter no concern because she thought that she was present. But upon further and closer investigation she was convinced that Miss Jesse Wormley was absent and not present. The principal phoned to her home but she could get no information where she was. Thereupon Dr. Thurston was notified and the foregoing circumstances were related to him. He asked the principal why she had not notified him before. And when Dr. Thurston was informed the reasons, the teacher who had marked Miss Wormley present was called and confronted Dr. Thurston and asked why she had marked Miss Wormley present. She first made a faint denial, but when she was strongly confronted with what she had told Miss Moten, she admitted that she had marked her present but didn't know why she did so. Many conflicting reports have been circulated concerning this affair but Dr. Thurston is in possession of all the facts and at this time they will be withheld until Dr. Thurston submits his report to the board of education. The latest report from the slick bed of Mr. Bruce is that he is improving and is no doubt out of danger, which is most gratifying to his family. R. C. BRUCE AND FOUR OTHERS IN AUTO INJURED. Assistant Superintendent in Charge of Colored Schools In Baltimore Hospital. From the Evening Star April 23. From the Evening Star April 23. Five persons were injured in the automobile accident Wednesday night in which Roscoe C. Bruce, assistant superintendent in charge of colored schools in this city, and son of the late Senator B. K. Bruce of Mississippi, was dangerously hurt. Others injured are Miss J. A. Wormley, a teacher in the Colored Normal School, forearm broken and ankle sprained. Mrs. Helen Anderson of Wilmington, Del., severe concussion of the head, possibly skull fractured. Mrs. Miriam Lewis, forearm broken in several places, leg broken. Fred D. Morton, bruised about the body and suffering from contusions. body and shelter from consciousness. Mr. Bruce received two severe cuts over his left eye. His back also was hurt and his arms strained. It was thought at first that his skull was fractured. He was unconscious when picked up and remained unconscious nearly al of yesterday, though he partly recovered consciousness in the afternoon. Mrs. R. C. Bruce, his wife, and his mother, Mrs. B. K. Bruce, went to Baltimore upon learning of the accident. An examination was made by physicians of John Hopkins Hospital today. Mishap Was Near Relay, Md. The accident occurred near Relay, Md., on what is known as the "S" curve, one of the front wheels of the machine breaking. At the time of the accident the car was making between eighteen and twenty miles an hour, it is said. Mr Bruce was driving the car. The tire first came off, followed immediately by the "bucking" of the wheel. This threw the entire party from the machine, Mr. Bruce striking on his head about eight feet away. Mr Morton, his secretary, who occupied the seat beside him, was thrown over the windshield into an adjoining field and escaped with lighter injuries, perhaps, than the others. Two automobiles which approached the wrecked machine from opposite sides gave assistance. Because of the apparent seriousness of Mr. Bruce's condition it was decided that he, accompanied by his secretary, should be hurried to Baltimore. The second car took the three women as far as Laurel, where they received medical attention. The three women are sisters. Mrs. Bruce had declined an invitation to join the party. Mr. Bruce was appointed as assistant superintendent about eight years ago. He was an honor man of Harvard, graduating in 1902. He has been ticularly active in advancing vocational education in the colored schools and has lectured in many parts of the country. HOLY NAME SOCIETY. Solemn High Mass Attended by Archdiocesan Union Precedes Convention—Founder III—Goes Home—Apostolic Delegate at Opening Gathering—Capital Societies Wants Branch in Every Church. With all the religious splendor with which the Roman Catholic Church surrounds her special occasions and in the presence of some of the highest dignitaries of that church in America, the Archdiocesan Union of Holy Name Societies Sunday opened its annual convention by a solemn high mass in St. Mary's Church, in Fifth street northwest. Two thousand members of the organization, representing branches of the Holy Name Society of the District M. GOVERNOR WILLIS OF OHIO, The Man Who is Not Afraid to Defend American Citizens Irrespective of Color or Condition. of Columbia, Maryland, and parts of Virginia, filled the church and hundreds were compelled to attend mass in other churches because of inability to enter St. Mary's. Presents Striking Picture. The rich cloth of gold vestments of the officiating clergy, the floral decorations, studded with electric illuminations, on the altar; the varicolored robes of the attending priests and acolytes in the sanctuary, and the solid mass of 2,000 men in the body of the cilfice, presented a striking picture. Rev. Clarence E. Wheeler, rector of celebrant of the mass; Rev. Leopold Ripple, of Baltimore, was deacon, and the Church of the Holy Comforter, was Rev. L. Otterbein, assistant pastor of St. Mary's Church, was subdeacon. Right Rev. Bishop O. B. Corrigan, coadjutor to Cardinal Gibbons, led the solemn procession from the rectory to the church, and occupied a temporary throne within the sanctuary during the ceremonies. In an eloquent sermon Rev. Ignatius Smith, of the Dominican Order, sketched the origin and growth of the Holy Name Society. He declared it to be the duty of every man in the church to unite himself with the forces working to promote reverence for the name of Christ, and the elimination of blasphemy and profanity. An elaborate musical program was rendered by a select choir under the direction of Prof. S. J. Kuhel. Lauds Holy Name Work. At three o'clock in the afternoon the convention proper was opened in St. Mary's parochial hall by the president of the union. Michael D. Shafer, of this city. Long before the scheduled hour the hall was packed. His excellency, Most Rev. John Bonzano, apostolic delegate to the United States; Bishop Corrigan, Right Rev. Bishop T. J. Shanan, rector of the Catholic University of America; Rev. A. J. Donlon, president of Georgetown University, and Rev. Eugene DeL. Mc Donnell, president of Gonzaga college, were seated on the platform. The pastors of nearly all of the Catholic churches of Washington were in attendance. John Burke, Treasurer of the United States, who was among the principle speakers, lauded the work of the society, and declared that the principles of the Holy Name organization were respected by the members of all creeds. Rev. Father McKenna III. Regret was expressed by officers of the union that Rev. Father McKenna, the founder of the Holy Name Society of America, who had come to Washington in order to speak at the convention, was compelled by illness to return to New York. Delegates to the convention from Baltimore and nearby points in Maryland and Virginia were welcomed at the Union Station and at the electric line terminus by special committees in charge of President John Hadley Doyle, of the Washington branch. The members were M. J. Driscoll, Frank Bresnahan, W. P. Happ, P. J. Nilands, W. G. McGee, Frank B. Gunning, Frank Roach, and Capt. Cogan. In the hall in which the convention proceedings will be conducted seats for the delegates from each church have been marked with silken banners. Palms, ferns and cut flowers were used in the decoration of the walls and ceilings of the hall. Among the important steps for new legislation to be considered at the convention will be a resolution pre- sented by the Washington Holy Name societies urging that an order be promulgated by Cardinal Gibbons requiring the establishment of a branch of the organization in every church of in the archdiocese. "White List" of Plays. It also will be vigorously urged that the union go on record in regard to the causade against immoral theatrical productions and moving picture films. The Washington branch of the union has already united itself to the movement in this city, and the archdiocesan body probably will indorse the "white list" of plays prepared by the Washington Truth Society and Holy Name societies here and by Knights of Columbus in Baltimore. The "white list" contains the following plays for the guidance of Catholic theatregoers during the spring and summer dramatic season: "Alias Jimmy Valentine," "Along Came Ruth," "A Bachelor's Romance," "The Big Idea," "Big Jim Garrity," "A Celebrated Case," "The Critic," "It Pays to Advertise," "The Jilt." "Jim the Penman," "The Legend of Lenora," "Magic," "Masks and Faces," "A Pair of Sixes," "Polly of the Circus," "A Scrap of Paper," "Still Waters Run Deep," "The Tyranny of Tears," "The Will," "The Dollar Princess," "A Stubborn Cinderella," "Havana," "The Prince of Pilson," "The Sultan of Sulu," "The Balkan Princess," "Gypsy Love," "The Arcadians," "The Belle of New York," "Erminle," "Floradora," "Princess Chic," "The Girl of My Dreams," "The Woman Haters Club," "Mlle. Modiste," "The Spring Maid," "Naughty Marietta," "The Slim Princess," "The Enchantress," and "The Red Mill." It was announced yesterday that the membership of the Holy Name Society in the United States is about 3,000,000. The largest branch in the archdiocese at present is that of St. Alosyius, which numbers more than 2,000 men. CHURCH EXTENSION BOARD. Reviewing the Work of the Secretary. There was much interest manifested in the annual meeting of the Church Extension Board of the African Methodist Episcopal church held Monday in the headquarters of the northwest, and presided over by Bishop Levi J. Coppin, D. D., of Philadelphia. The meetings are held each year to review the work of the secretary, to make appropriations, and audit his books. In this the church is held in touch with the workings of the department and the financial status is kept before the church. The board is composed of a representative from each district appointed for four years by the Bishop. The following compose the board: Bishop Levi J. Coppin, chairman; Rev. B. F. Watson, D. D., corresponding secretary; A. A. Cooper, Brooklyn, N. Y.; R. H. W. Leak, Raleigh, N C; J. T. Gibbons, Huntington, W. Va.; H. E. Stewart, Chicago; D. A. Chritis, Anderson, S. C.; W. D. Lewis, Jonestown, Miss.; J. F. Griffin, Mobile, Ala.; W. D. Miller, Waco, Texas; E. W. Byrd, Tallahasse, Fla.; James Jones, Pine Bluff, Ark.; A. W. Hackley, Ontario, Canada. All the members were present and took part in the opening conducted by Bishop L. J. Coppin. "Lord, in the Morning, Thou Shalt Hear" was the opening hymn and the prayer was made by the Rev. W. D. reading scripture lesson, Bishop Cop- pin made a short talk outlining the work to be considered by the board. He noted the wonderful progress made by the department under the direction of Secretary Watson. There were a number of visitors introduced and extended courtesies. Among them were Prof. John R. Hawkins, A. M., financial secretary; J. T. Jenifer, D. D., historian of the A. M. E. Church, Chicago; J. O. Custus, Baltimore, Md.; G. W. Nicholas, D. D., dean of the theological department of Kittrell College, Kittrell, N. C.; Chas Wesley, A. B., of Howard University, Washington, D. C.; E. H. Hunter, D. D., Norfolk Va.; G. F. Wilson, editor Washington Eagle; Rev G. W. Porter, D. D., Nashville, Tenn.; John H. Murphy, editor Afro-American Ledger, Baltimore, Md.; Charles Stewart, A. M., Chicago. Mrs. L. J. Coppin, M. D., the wife of Bishop Coppin, was introduced, not only to the board but to each member. She expressed delight in being able to enter into the work of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, and assured them that her heart was in the work. She had a desire to do good, to serve the race and church. She was given an ovation by the members of the board. It is perhaps the first time that the wife of one of the presiding officers has visited the board. The death of Rev. W. H. Jones, of Gurdon, Ark, was officially announced and Rev. James E. Jones, his successor, was presented and he was elected. Then followed the report of the corresponding secretary, Dr. B. F. Watson, made an annual report to the board and was said to be the best ever made to the board. It was replete in information and instruction concerning the actual work of the board, and contained some valuable information touching the church work. There were many new features in the report. Dr. Watson has spent years in the work and is one of the best-posted men in the A. M. E. church on churches and church property, church building, borrowing and paying church debts: Perhaps no man in this country has done more to save churches. He is strictly a business man and has been faithful in looking after the interests of the department as was shown in his carefully prepared report. Every penny was accounted for. The financial transactions included term, from April 1, 1914, to March 31, 1915. The report showed that the department had handled from the dollar money fund $15,994.86; from loans, $649.41; from interest on loans, $1,735.92; from Children's Day, $5,180.21; special on Children's Day Program, $420.08; total, $23,980.48; brought forward, $21,752.88. The loans, donations, and expenses of the department amputed to $25,847.42. There was a showing of property value to the amount of $156,800, and the assets exceeded the liabilities by $488,951.65. The assets of the department amputed to $501,983.71. In the afternoon the committees re-Memorial services for Rev W. H. Jones and the wife of Dr. B. F. Watson. The services were sad and impressive. The committees appointed were: Auditing: Revs. Cooper, Christie Gibhons. Application: Revs. Hackley, Byrd, Jones. Appropriations: Revs. Miller, Talbert, Lewis, Byrd, Miller, Leaks, Griffin, Stewart.

AT BETHEL LITERARY The regular meeting of the Bethel Literary and Historical Association was addressed last Tuesday evening by the Rev. Reverdy C. Ranson, of New York, on "What Time is the Clock Striking Now?" The speaker said in part: God's clock only strikes every two or three hundred years. Its hands do not mark the hours of night and day. It is not like the tower clock. It does not strike each hour of the day. Every few hundred years it strikes the breaking of a new day. Three thousand years ago slaves prayed to God for deliverance; the more they prayed and cried the darker was the night, but after hope had fled, God's clock struck the hour. God had eyes and ears. He had seen the affliction of his people in Egypt and came down to deliver them. That was God's hour, and the Lord laid bare his arm and Israel was brought forth. A new epoch began, and for several hundred years the people had hope. God's clock again struck the hour and the Christ child came to Bethlehem. It was the dawning of a new era, the writing of a new chapter. That was God's day—His hour—and twenty centuries ago, we began to walk in a new day. We are not going to turn back. All faiths of the world must come right here. Religion is not to be superseded by philosophy, ethics, socialism, political reformation, or by eugenics. Too much care must not be bestowed on girls to the neglect of the boys; the girls will not be able to find their equal; there will be too few for companionship. --- God's clock has struck the hour for a spiritual enlightenment. Rome did not believe it. In our own America, God's clock struck the hour in 1776. I am proud of being an American—a land of freedom, with future of hope bound up in it. This was the first nation ever born with the Bible in its hand. The foundation of this country was not by Rousseau, nor by Plato, neither did it result from a French revolution. It came from a teacher who taught that God was the I and that all men are brothers. Americans were the first to cize the idea. Men of valor, suprunus, Garrizen, Suprunus arose, a shot was fired at Ha. Ferry which was answered at Sumpter. God's clock struck the and the Proclamation of the Emancipation was the result. It was God's hour. A few years before that Sojourner Truth had asked Douglass if God was dead. At that time all was dark; no one saw the dawn, but God's clock struck and our people were brought forth. Israel was baptized in the waters of the sea, but we were baptized in the blood of the nation. The speaker referred to the agitation regarding the health of the Negro. He said nothing was the matter with him taken as a whole, that the effort was merely one of the ways being used to compel segregation. That Dixon's photo play was being set forth to a new generation to show that God's clock struck a lie when the fifteenth amendment was added to the Constitution. Referring to the war in Europe he said he believed a blow will be struck that will benefit the world. The beginning of the movement to bring the Jew back to Palestine. He believed God's clock has struck the afternoon for the domination of the world by the white races; that they had a great day; had conquered science, philosophy, the lightning, thunder, sea, the air, the earth—but that God had merely used him to do the rough work for the darker races. Don't worry about things that don't concern you; God's clock will strike the morning for the darker races of the earth. God's love will come bringing a new birth of intellect, of learning, of civilization, and the principles of justice, brotherhood, and love, will prevail. The subject was discussed by Prof. L. M. Hershaw, Rev. Jennifer of Chicago historian of the A. M. E. Church; Attorney James H. Hayes of Richmond; Rev. C. H. Stepteau, Others taking part, Rev. Arthur A. Randall, R. W. Thompson, Mrs. Julia West Hamilton, Mrs. Essie Fortune, Jas. F. Alston. Music, M. E. church choir, Prof. R. W. Johnson, director. Mrs. Essie Jarris presided at the piano. M. A. D. Madre presided. Rt. Rev. L. J. Coppin, Bishop of this diocese, and Mrs. Coppin were present. Rev. William David Miller, of Waco, Texas, and Rev. Stéwart, of Chicago, were in attendance. Black Mixture. Goldsmith's Black Mixture or Root Lax is one of the best summer remedies on the market. It is purely a blood medicine, as well as to the liver. Pleasant to take, and is very much used at this season. It is prepared by Goldsmith, the druggist. See his ad in this paper. GONE TO DURHAM. Dr. M. W. Norman, the greatest pulpit orator in the United States and pastor of the Metropolitan Baptist Church, will leave for Durham, N. C., this evening where he will preach a sermon to the students of the National Religious Training School. Editor W. Calvin Chase of The Bee will accompany this distinguished orator. PUBLIC MEN AND THINGS (By the Sage of the Potomac.) If the Mu-So-Lit Club had existed in the days of King Solomon the females would have crucified the entire bunch. My mutual friend informed a few of the chocolate drops while seated at the table of Dr. Board a few days ago that the office bunch could not stand the expense. One of the Mu-So-Lits stated a few days ago that his old full dress was out of date which would have necessitated him to borrow one from Uncle Isaac. Then my wife's gown would have cost around twenty-five, not cents, but dollars. Then he remarked, "there is the rain, which calls for a carriage." Fifty dollars gone now. Where was his next month's house rent, groceries, etc., to come from? They needn't try to blame Jimmy Cobb. Many of them wanted it done. One of the committee who had contributed liberally, or rather stood responsible for one of the necessaries, begged certain individuals to kill the reception as they could not stand it. My friend Cobb wasn't particularly anxious to see the stunts go on. There will be no excursion boat this year. There will be a few outings on the car lines not far from the terminal of the route. Speaking about excursions reminds me of the days when the canal ran through B street. There puse to be a scow at the foot of Fourteenth and B as you enter the speedway. This scow would convey excursionists through the canal for ten cents. In those good old days us boys use to hire a wagon and take early morning trips to the chain bridge, the Three Sisters. Those were days when happiness was at a premium. This society was above suspicion. A good name in man of woman was the immediate jewel of her soul. Those good old days of my grandma and grandpa have passed out of my memory. It's now "pay as you enter society or drop a nickel in the slot." It is not necessary to bother about character or reputation now. The less you have the higher you can go and the more the false pretenders will picture an immaculate. I called at Ware's Shoe Emporium a few days ago to assist my honey bunch in selecting a pair of shoes. I have heard so much talk about Ware's shoes that I decided to inspect for myself. The shoes are all that W. Calvin says they are. I found Ware to be a genial individual, and a man who has the love of his race in a pure heart. I was not introduced to his lady attendant or assistant. I wondered to myself many things. One was, how nice it would be if my people had race pride, enough to give the female attendant a few companions. It is an easy matter. If the school teachers alone supported this shoe store, it would enable Mr. Ware to employ five or six more assistants. Speaking about assistants, some times when you get them they are too lazy to work. That is one thing Colored young women lack—business ability. If you have a young lad to your employment, the first act of a male will be is to attempt to flirt. Many of these preachers are worse than the sport. A preacher has a different look, if you will notice, from the ordinary flirt. His eyes sparkle, his smiles have a hungry look. He begins to talk to you about your soul and Christianity. Then he will insist on coming to his church. He will next invite you to his prayer meetings, and concludes by inviting himself to your house to dinner. He continues until the law takes a hand. This is a great world for flirts. (By the Sage of the Potomac.) "Get-rich-quick" fever aint no respector of people' nor occupation. Everybody wants to get a strangle hold on the mazuma any way they can. That's the reason that you find so many in this hair-straightening business making up something to straighten out the kinks in Miss Chocolate or Miss Highbrown's hair. Now there use to be a time when Miss Flossy Highbrown, and Miss Pink Chocolate was naturally satisfied with what the Almighty give 'em to cover a thimbleful of brains, but taint so now and that's because sunnebones has all gone out of fashion, and these here change-twice-a-season hats for women what you buy on the installment plan down at Hecht's has come in. A bunch of us was a talkin' about this making hair-straightening stuff the other day down at Aaron Gaskell. One fellow said it wasn't nothing at all but lard or tallow with a little vassaline mixed in. I don't care what it is, sure there is a bunch of dill pickles around here who have used it or something what made their hair so straight it can almost float on the pillow. Even that great organ of the race. The Age of New York, is in the making of hair-straightening business, so I'm told. One of the bunch, just to show how fast everybody's going after the easy dough making this hair-straightening stuff said The Age was advertising some kind of a dope which is sold at their office, which is guaranteed to make kinks so straight that they will take the count from a spirit level, and that sure is going some. It wouldn't be surprising to me, even if it is again the etiquette of the journalistic profession, to hear of The Age and a dozen or so other organs of a depressed and oppressed race, advertising a full head of straight hair with every paid up subscription. There's a whole lot of money in this hair-straightening stuff. A box of that salve stuff don't cost more than a jitney to make it up, including all the other dope what you are supposed to buy along with it to make kinks straight, and these meats sells it for 25 cents a box or bottle, and $1 for the whole blooming outfit, including soap, fake scalp treatment stuff, soldering irons, comb, etc. And Miss Flossy Highbrown and Miss Pink Chocolate, and Miss Nearwhite, who happened to inherit a bunch of wool from the dark side of the house, all fall for this stuff. I sat behind a lady at R street Baptist church the other Sunday who had about four ounces of this tallow, lard, beef suet and vassaline mixture worked up in her kinks, and it appears had got a little bitransit, either "before or after using," I don't know which. Anyhow, I had to call the overworked sexton and whisper to him to open up all the windows, doors and evaporating chambers so as to give the odor a chance to be kidnapped by a little fresh air. Now how that woman's husband ever gets close enough to her to hand her anything, with a head of kinks smelling like the undeoderized fumes from Armour's fertilizing plant, I just cant figure it out. But getting back to the little bunch down at Aaron Gaskin's, I want to recall that one of them said his wife when he married her had the most stubborn head of hair that ever grew on a razor-back hog; that she tried all these local makes of sure-enough hair-straighteners and all they did was to make her hair greasy, like a porkchop or a can of axil greese, and smell like the garbage plant after a week's inattention. Finally he sent down in Virginia, or out in Indiana, and got $4 worth of stuff, followed directions, and now his wife has hair that can easily pass for the tail of a mustang filley. He said he sure did believe in the stuff, and that no woman, no matter how highbrown or how right black, is got no business going to church and other places, or hanging around home. with a lot of stubborn kinks. Beauty, and the hiding of her husband right down to the marriage contract, he said, made it incumbent on every woman what is identified with the after-dark race to which you and I belong, to get some straight hair just as quick as possible. Now while I'm on this hair culture proposition, I don't see why men aint got just as much right to straighten out their kinks as women. Now a woman sure does like to make gooog eyes at a feller with nice straight hair just as a man likes to look on a woman with straight hair, yet men go right along neglecting their stubborn locks. You aint got no idea how it would improve the looks of men. Wash Woods said the other day if ever he got enough money to work his way over to Indianapolis he sure was going to get what few he had left smoothed out straight. Now take Prof. Kelly Miller. While he might never win the decision at a beauty contest, if Prof. Miller had about one foot or straight hair resting on his shoulders he sure would make a double for old Walt Whitman. And my friend, William Calvin, who lost all his hair trying to get out a paper every week for these broad-minded denizens who never pay their subscriptions could have his billiard ball decorated with some long, silky, blond hair stuff if he would only cough up $1 for a box of vassalled lard, a bar of two and a half cent soap, one bottle of "get-your-hair-outquick" and five-cent comb and a soldering iron. But believe me, you can make that old sad sea dog believe it. I know a old sad barber down on ninth street, and meebes you know societies and politics around here, who has got less real hair than Brother William Calvin, and yet by some kind of manipulation, he sports a head of nice, straight, dark brown hair. Where he got it, and how he got it, I don't know. Mebbe it will be brought out in the Roosevelt-Barnes trial, cause they are bringing out a little of everything in that trial, but I know this harber has sure got it. Whether hair-straightener stuff or hair restorer did it, I just leave for Mr. Ivens, Teddy's special counsel, to bring out. Then, there's Judge Terrell, why the Judge really ought to have grown a beautiful bunch of blondine speghetta by this time, considering that he has been associated with one of them vassalled-lard manufacturing plans as a consulting director. Mebbe the Judge aint wantin' no hair no more. Some times long hair on a man is troublesome at that, specially if he's got one of them swivelled-tempermewives who just insists she must go up and pull a handful of hair out of her hubby's head every time he comes in late, or every time a rumor beats him home. But getting back to the lunch at Aaron's thirst parlor, as usual, they swished off on to the school question before they got full—full of the eats. I aint going to relate what they said on the school question, cause one of Little Lord Fautelroy's friends was at a table at the other end of the room drinking in every word of the dope. I'm waiting for him to soft-pedal it over on Eleventh street in the vicinity of Quality Row. Mebbe he'll tell it, and mebbe he wont. The bunch did do some 300 hitting on Little Lord Fautelroy, let me tell you, and one of them handed Little Lord's "ondosom" friend, Will, Houston, some Armond Scott-tinctured blows. But getting back to the hair-straightening proposition once more for the cigars, I'm here to tell you that a few testimonials from Prof. Jesse Lawson, Doc Article Curtiss. Doc. Geo. Murray, Prof. Kelly Miller, Judge Terrell, John Lewis, and Bud Harris would sell this straightening stuff made by the woman who Dick Thompson touts up, cause she lives back in "Injany," where he come from so fast it would make an agent down in South Washington, and over in LeDoRt Park, rich enough to get in the millionaire row before six o'clock this evening. Convince him it will do the work, and Jim Cobb will purchase, for immediate shipment, a full size caddy himself and Jim's about as conservative prelude as we have in the town, excepting Tom Jones, and Prof. Richards, and Mozemblique Childs. If you want to see how beautifully this hair-straightening and hair restorer stuff works just go and take'a peep at Jess Foster's head, Foster, the man what dyes to live. CEO. H. SMALLWOOD. GEO. H.

EUROPEAN TRAVEL HALTED BY WAR OGEAN PATHWAY DESERTED. Great Passenger Liners That Formerly Carried Thousands Back and Forth Now Doing Duty In the War or Tied Up at Their Piers In Neutral Ports. Statistics Show Loss to Europe. New York.—A quarter billion dollars of good American money will be kept in this country this year on account of the war. There will be at least that much saved by the inability of the public to travel to Europe. Last year the steamship companies received in fares alone approximately $33,000,000, carrying eastward and westward more than 1,200,000 passengers. A conservative estimate fixes the amount spent by this traveling army at close to $102,000,000, making the total amount spent for European travel $275,000,000. There will be no exodus to Europe this summer, however. The Great Green Way of the Atlantic is as lonely as New York's Great White Way on a summer Sunday night. This is the time of year when the rush across the ocean begins. The tide of travel sweeps east across the Atlantic from May till August and back again from August till the middle of October. But this year the tide hasn't set in and it won't set in. Uncle Sam is holding back the tide by refusing to issue passports, and on the other side of the ocean the kaiser's submarines prove an obstacle. Nobody is going away who can't prove to the satisfaction of Uncle Sam that he or she has business in Europe. Doctors, Red Cross nurses, reserves, continue to go, but even their number is dwindling. From all ports of the north Atlantic there left for Europe last year in four months just 27,727 passengers. During the same four months of this year the number of departures was 4,198, a falling off of 17,729. The westward sailing were 13,602 for the same period last year and this year 4,674, a deficit of 8,995. The arrivals and departures at New York last year from and to Europe totaled an army of more than 1,200,000. Of this number 148,380 traveled first class, 241,810 in the second cabin and 813,743 in the steerage. The grand total to and from all north Atlantic ports was: Eastward-first class, 82,301; second class, 121,085; steerage, 479,232. Westward-first class, 90,840; second class, 238,347; steerage, 631,862. The average first class fare across the Atlantic on little ships and big ships is $120, second class $50, and third or steerage $35. That means that last year $20,922,120 was paid the steership companies for first class passages, $17,720,000 for second class and $44,892,120 for steerage, a total of $83,055,780. Placing the amount of money spent during the season in Europe by the first class traveler at $1,000, the second class at $500 and the steerage at $100, a pretty good average of American contributions abroad will be the result. Computed by these figures the amount spent in Europe last year by the American traveling public would have been $191,726,700. That these figures are by no means overestimated will be realized when one stops to reflect that $10,000 for the season would be no money at all for each of 5,000 American families to dissipate. This would alone mean $50,000,000. At a modest calculation there was spent last year by people from America on European travel $278,664,500; $300,000,000 would be, perhaps, nearer the mark. It is safe to say that the war has cost Europe $250,000,000 of American tourist money this year. That much cash in hand would do strange things. It would do wonders for the unemployed of the country. It's the ransom of a king and no bagatelle even to a Rockefeller. There will be just that much more money remaining in the United States this year. The click of glasses and the clink of wealth are hushed. The stewards' tips are missing. The bands of music are silent. The $10,000,000 Vaterland of the Hamburg-American line is eating her head off at the dock in Hoboken. The $10,000,000 Imperator of the same line is a hospital ship at Bremen. The $10,000,000 ship Aquitania of the Cunard line is a converted cruiser, and the $10,000,000 Olympic of the White Star line has also been impressed by the British government. The France, the beautiful $8,000,000 queen of the French line fleet, is doing government duty for France. The North German Lloyd's Kronprinzessin Ceclle, Kalser Wilhelm H. and Kronprinz Wilhelm have figured in the war. More ships on the average are arriving here today than ever before. Steamers whose names are unfamiliar to customs men and shipping men have reached the port in the past six weeks, sometimes as many as ten a day. They come here under charter or looking for a charter to carry away American goods. All kinds of freight is being stowed away in their holds, all kinds of vessels are in demand. They can't come here fast enough to satisfy the merchants and manufacturers who have goods for foreign consumption. CHARLES S. HILL, ATTORNEY.

Lithe and Young, He Has Done His Twenty-five Miles a Day. London.—The Prince of Wales, the twenty-year-old future king of England, faced Earl Kitchener in the war office one day last November and demanded that he be allowed to go to the front at once. Three months previously, at the very outbreak of the war, within a week of receiving his commission as a lieutenant in the First Grenadier guards, he had made the same request, but the secretary of war [Name] had refused it on the ground that the prince's military training had only just begun. For a second time the lithe and slender subaltern stood before the great field marshal. He had thrown himself into his work with such enthusiasm and patriotic fervor that now, after only twelve weeks, he was hit and ready for active service. He had been so reported by his commanding officer. Earl Kitchener listened to what the young man had to say. The British warlord is stern and unbending, but human. He knew the prince's spirit and talked with him as one soldier with another, not from a personal but from a national point of view. It went without saying that the prince was eager to fight and would do his duty just the same as any other officer, taking his chances of being killed or wounded with the rest. That was not what was worrying Kitchener. He would mourn if anything happened to the Prince of Wales, but he knew that if the heir apparent did get killed there were plenty of other people to come to the throne of England. What concerned Lord Kitchener was this: If the Prince of Wales were taken prisoner and held as a hostage by the Germans very serious embarrassment might be caused to the allies, and their plans for the final settlement of the war would be gravely hampered. This Earl Kitchener pointed out in his usual direct and foretible manner, but the young prince was not to be denied, and when he left the war office it was with the promise that he would be attached to Field Marshal French's staff at the headquarters of the British expeditionary force in France. On Nov. 16 the Prince of Wales crossed over from Folkestone to Boulogne and proceeded at once to St. Omer, where the headquarters' staff was then located. From that day till April 10, when the Prince of Wales arrived in London bearing dispatches from the British commander in chief, he has regularly performed the airduals and dangerous duties of a distract rider. The Prince of Wales is a slightly built and very high strung youth who looks two or three years younger than he really is. There is nothing in his uniform to distinguish him from any other staff officer. Nearly four months elapsed from the day the prince reported for duty till Field Marshal French gave him twenty-four hours' leave. This was early in March, and instead of spending his time in the big white house in which he lives the prince ordered his car and, leaving the non-employed officer behind, took his brother officer and was on his way to Paris as fast as his car could go. On his arrival I went to an old fashioned hotel: the Rivoli, facing the Tuileries, and sent word of his presence to the British embassy in the Faundon St. Honore. When the Right Hon. Sir Francis Bertie, the ambassador, heard about it he at once wired over to Buckingham palace, but the king and queen evidently decided not to interfere. So the ambassador called upon the Prince of Wales and took him round to lunch with President Pom are. Difference In Expenses of Richest and Poorest Yale Students. New Haven.-The members of the Yale class of 1915 will get their diplomas in June at a total cost of $1,070-111, according to the expense accounts of the men who gave the figures in their personal statistics published in the Yale News. The figures show the great difference in the financial resources of the men who go to Yale and testify to the continued existence of democracy there: In freshman year, which is the most expensive, the most affluent man spent $4,500, while the most frugal got his education for a cash outfit of $200. Perhaps due to parental conferences over freshman year's expense accounts or to the financial depression, the richest man in sophomore year spent but $2,900, while the poorest man spent $200 cash. The average for the year was $1,016 a man. Last year the average expenses a man were $1,106, individual expenses varying from $4,000 to $200. This year the richest man expects to spend a total of $3,100 and the poorest man $250. PIED PIPER ENOUGH "PIE." Quits Rat Catching When He Buys a Boat. Galveston, Tex.-Charles Bertolina, the Galveston Pied Piper, has turned in his badge and will not be seen catching rats along the water front and the beach for some time. Charles is the champion rat catcher of Galveston. For the past several months he has been taking the rodents at the rate of 2,000 per month. For this service he received the regular price paid for rats and in addition was given a bonus of $10 provided he caught as many as 1,000 in thirty days. When Charles began his career as a rat catcher he said he would quit when he had made enough money to buy a boat and a gasoline engine. Recently he made the purchase and then appeared at the health office and laid down his commission. The latest record made by Charles was 1,028 rats in sixteen days. For these he was paid at the rate of 8 and 10 cents each and given a bonus of $10. EXPORTS OF COTTON DECREASE 50 PERCENT Washington--The value of American cotton exports has been cut in half and the shipments of wheat and flour have nearly trebled during the eight months of the present fiscal year, ending with February, which period embraces the first seven months of the European war, when compared with the corresponding period of the year before. The value of the cotton exports for the eight month period ending with last February was $215,000,000 against $408,000,000 for the same months of the year previous, showing a loss of $225,000,000. The wheat and flour exports jumped from $106,200,000 to $288,000,000, a gain of $181,800,000. Meat and dairy products gained only $11,000,000, increasing from $102,700,000 to $114,200,000. The value of horses showed a big gain in comparison with the year before, the increase being from $1,900,000 to $2,600,000. A comparison of the value of the principal exports during the eight months of the 1914 fiscal year and the 1915 fiscal year, the latter period embracing the first seven months of the war, as furnished by the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce is as follows: Commodity. 1911. 1915.

Tenn.-John Hundley, a farmer, awoke one morning recently to be advised by his wife of a serious deficit in the pantry—neither flour nor meal. Hundley's horses were not shod, the sleet and ice were too rough for the animals, the family's strong box was empty, and the farmer resked six miles from town. But John met the emergency. He constructed a large sled, hitched nine fox hounds to it, loaded on five bushels of stock peas and hit the trail for Camden. After a couple of hours' rest Hundley returned home, the dogs pulling a log of meal and a barrel of flour through the snow. EX-MILLIONAIRE IN TRENCHES Private Pawson, In London Recovering From Wound. Once Wealthy. London.—When William Hargrave Pawson attained his majority, sixteen years ago, he came into possession of $1,250,000, giving him an income of $35,000 a year. Eight years later he was forced into bankruptcy. At the outbreak of the war Pawson joined the crack Eleventh hussars and went to the front as a private soldier, was wounded and sent home, but is now convalescent and soon will return to the trenches. Pawson's story came out in the London court of bankruptcy a few days ago before Registrar Brougham on his application to be discharged from bankruptcy. The receiver stated that when certain life insurance policies mature there will be a surplus of between $25,000 and $30,000. Pawson married when he was twenty-four years old. His household and personal expenses ran to $125,000 a year. In eight years he had spent a million dollars. He attributed his failure to various extravagances, among them horse racing and greyhound coursing. Impecunious friends also got on the "soft side" of him. Registrar Brougham, in view of all the circumstances, fixed the judgment at $25 only, sufficient to comply with the statute. FRENCH HAVE NEW SHELL. Said to Increase Tenfold Power of Cannon Used In War. Paris.—The semiofficial Bulletin des Armees says, "Without entering into details, which it is impossible to give, it is permissible to state that a new explosive has recently increased the power of French cannon tenfold." The bulletin guards the details of manufacture and the composition of the new explosive, but says that it has been used with terrible effect in the French-75 centimeter (3 inch) fieldpiece. Advices from the front recently said that the shell, in which the new French explosive is used, has caused enormous losses in German ranks, at times mowing down trees and burying the foes in the debris. German prisoners have been driven to the point of insanity by the destructive effect of the new French shells. Their Losses $43,000,000 Germany's $13,800,000. Washington.—Great Britain has lost far less trade during the war than any of her allies, according to figures gathered by the department of commerce. France's sacrifice of American trade has been seven times as great as that of England. During the last seven months, ending with January, the approximate decrease in the value of goods exported by the allies to the United States was: Great Britain, $4,265,000; Belgium, $9,245,000; France, $29,000,000. Germany's sales of goods to the United States in the same period fell off $18,800,000, as compared with the seven months ending with January, 1914. Each of the four nations named experienced both gains and losses in their various lines of exports to the United States in the last seven months. Britain's gains were $13,630,000, losses $17,900,000; Belgium gained $930,000 and lost $10,200,000; France gained $1,000,000 and lost $30,600,000; Germany gained $1,800,000 and lost $15,600,000. The chief losses in England's export trade to the United States were in rubber, uncut diamonds, pig tin, tin plate, carpets, cocoa, copper, embroideries and trimmings, jute fabrics, linens, furs, hides and skins, iron and its products, gin, whisky and tea. Her chief gains were in exports of art works, opium, cotton and woollen goods, wool, leather and its products, paper and books, cut diamonds. Germany's chief losses were in art works, embroideries, linens, furs, calf skins, crude rubber, leather gloves, printing paper, clover, silks and embroideries and wines. Her large gains were in leather and wool goods. The net losses of the allies in exports to America as compared with Germany were: Allies, $43,000,000; Germany, $13,800,000. There is practically no direct trade between Russia and the United States, so no account has been taken of the figures. FIRED SHOTS IN SLEEP. His Dream of Stolen Chickens Frees a Roumanian. Kansas City, Mo.—Joseph Sharder, a Roumanian, was discharged in the north side court as the result of an unusual story of somnambulism. He was arrested by Patrolman P. L. Savidge for discharging firearms near his home. Sharder told Judge Charles Clark that he had been asleep and dreamed some one was stealing his chickens. He said he took his revolver from a drawer and began shooting at the chicken thieves and that he was not awakened until the officer arrested him, although the shots he fired awakened the entire neighborhood. Sharder had to be overpowered by the patrolman before he could be disarmed. JAMES H.

We often reap what we sow. It is the good man who doesn't rejoice at the afflictions of the fallen or the injured. People sometimes may be indiscreet and meet with an unavoidable accident. The most wise, the most sane and the most careful come to an untimely end at times. A good heart has sympathy. The bad and revengeful heart have neither care nor sympathy. If you differ from your enemy fight him openly and don't resort to subterfuges, deceit or deception to conquer him. There are times in the life of one when truth will rise from the depth in which it was temporarily buried. "Vengeance is mine sayeth the Lord." No wrong can succeed, no matter how just and fair it may seem. Sympathize with the afflicted. The Bee has never during its 35 years of existence rejoiced at the downfall or the affliction of a fallen foe. Why should it? If your conduct during life is above reproach you have nothing to fear. If you are condemned and abused because you defend the weak and helpless, and held up to ridicule and scorn, time alone will vindicate your virtues and hold you up to the world as a model being. People will resort to methods to destroy you and you may go to an untimely grave. Our sympathies, therefore, should be liberal, just and patriotic. You may be characterized as one unworthy of belief by the great and the apparent noble men and women. An ancient once was told by his neighbors that he was a thief, but he said that he would so "live that the world will not believe it." The Bee has always endeavored to defend the right and extend its sympathies to its fallen foes. Have sympathy for the wife and children of the afflicted; sympathize with that mother and wife who awaits with an anxious mind and aching hearts for a speedy restoration of their injured loved ones. In an open combat if you should defeat your foes, then rejoice, and not until then. Should we rejoice at misfortunes! If so, why? It is only the revengeful heart that becomes elated when the foe meets with disaster. Because others rejoice at a seeming victory over an unjust assault why should we? If our cause is just we have nothing to fear. There are times in life when God issues His ultimatum and says thou shalt cease from prosecution of the Christians and the afflicted. There are times when we refuse to listen to reason. It is godly to be charitable. OHIO'S GREAT GOVERNOR. Governor Frank B. Willis of Ohio ordered the State Censor Board of that state to cancel permit issued for the photo-play "The Nigger," when it opened up in Cleveland. This stopped the showing of this anti-race play, and shut it out of Ohio. He announced that no permit would be given to "The Birth of the Nation," to show in Ohio. If the executives of Massachusetts and New York had the nerve of Governor Willis these shows would not be running in those states. Governor Willis knew that these two photo-plays were likely to increase anti-race feeling, and whether there was any law for it or not he exercised the power and authority of a governor to put them out of business in Ohio. If they had a president like Governor Willis in the White House today there would be no segregation in the departments here, and there would not be the Negro-bating that we find sweeping over the country. It has been a long time since any state had a governor who took the interest in giving the race a square deal as Governor Willis has. The editor of The Bee declared for Willis for president a few days before he left Washington to take the oath of office as governor. The Bee knew that in him the race would have a staunch friend. Negroes everywhere are praising Governor Willis of Ohio, the man who is not afraid to champion the rights of the race, and prevent Negro-hating plays to be shown in his state. Good for Governor Willis. Ohio Negroes should be proud of him. THE PROPHET. When the United State Attorney, Ralph Givens, Esq., in his admirable address to the jury in the Glenn assault case, among other things, said, "Go back to your high school and wash your dirty linen." These were utterances that had far-reaching effect. Does not existing conditions in our schools warrant immediate changes in their administration? Will the one hundred thousand people sit quietly and permit these conditions to continue? Today the administration of the colored schools need an absolute change for the good and benefit of these thousands of school children. Have they a model to which they can look with admiration and pride? Never before in their history have such conditions existed. It is unfortunate, but nevertheless, these conditions are menaces to the progress of the colored schools. Already the Judges of the supreme court have received applications from persons as members of the board of education. At a recent meeting of the board last week drastic measures were taken to satisfy the enemies of the principal of the Normal school. Chairman Blair, Mr. Laner and others saved the day. The opposition counted five but when the show down came it was one short of its members and this one came from an unexpected source. President Blair gave the invader to understand that no snap judgment should be taken against the principal of the Normal school. Superintendent Thurston and Mr. Galiger informed the board that they had spent a whole day in the Normal school and they found that the charges made against the principal were absolutely false. Dr. Thurston is now ready to make his report and recommendations. 1916. The political contest in 1916 will no doubt be a hot one. In this contest the colored vote will be an important factor. The time has come for the colored voter to choose men and not party. The Bee is of the opinion that the announcement made by the friends of Senator Borah of Idaho that he would accept the Republican nomination if he could get it, sounds like a joke. If the Republican National Convention is wise it will nominate a man who is able to unite all the forces of the Republican party. And on the other hand the Democratic National Convention, if it exercises good judgment, it will adopt a platform and nominate a man who is sound on the race question and give the south to understand that the color of a man's skin or his nationality should be no bar to his citizenship. There are several men spoken of on the Republican side, but as yet the colored voter has failed to see the man that meets his ideal of a presidential nominee. The Bee would suggest that the colored voter take all the summer to think the candidates over. ANTI-SALOON AGITATORS. If the advocates against the sale of liquor among the Colored people were as sincere as those among the white people perhaps then the masses of the colored people would have some sincerity in their doctrine. There are lots of sham organizations among the colored people that oppose the sale of liquor and do other things that are more ridiculous and detrimental to the masses. The white anti-saloon league, it is true, has endeavored to break up the sale of liquor in residential neighborhoods. There are more saloons in colored neighborhoods than there are in white neighborhoods. Why is this? This is a work in which all anti-saloon organizations should be interested. THE PULPIT—ITS FALLACY. In building churches the pulpit is a success. In helping the people in a commercial way the pulpit is a failure and its doctrines in those lines is a fallacy. If the pulpit devoted one-half of its time to the advancement of the masses it would be doing something for humanity. Not only is the pulpit a sham to some extent but it fails to do its duty towards mankind. If the pulpit was strictly honest in its dealings with its membership the conditions in the community among the church-going people would be different. What is being accomplished by the Young Men's Christian Association? Will some one point out a single act that the Association has done to advance the people? It is true that the Association is making a great number of officials and aside fro. that name something beneficial. So it is with the church. Many of the church-going colored people are too proud to publicly assist their own people. The ministers are too selfish looking after personal interests; they have no time to preach good citizenship to the people. "THE NIGGER" The "Nigger," or otherwise the colored American, is being shown in the movies in the city. There are about 100,000 colored people in this city and they are not at all disturbed. There are no riots; no disturbances' or anything else. The colored Americans in this city are civilized and those who manage the different movies to portray the colored people in an uncomplimentary manner are only demonstrating their own folly and ignorance. If the colored Americans were not superior to their enemies they would cease picturing them as brutes. The best white people in this city are not afraid of the colored Americans. The colored people in this city are not at all disturbed and so far as the white people are concerned, many of them love the colored Americans and all the "Nigger" pictures on "Birth of a Nation" will not disturb either nationality. CORINTHIAN LODGE There was organized a few days ago new lodge known as the Corinthian Lodge of Masonies. These members of this new lodge came from the Pennsylvania avenue side. The Bee has always thought it best for both sides of this Masonic organization to come together. It looks that way anyhow. There should be one great body of Masons of this city and both sides unite and build a hall that will be an honor to the race. The Bee congratulates the new lodge. Let others come. AN ACCIDENT Thursday morning, April 22d, the city was thrown into consternation. The report was that assistant superintendent of schools and his private secretary met with an accident near Relay, Md. That was the first dispatch. Subsequently in an afternoon edition of the Star other names appeared which were not published in the morning edition of the Herald. The circumstances are unfortunate and it is to be regretted. Mr. Bruce and his companions are lying in their respective places in a serious condition. Just how the accident occurred has not as yet been published. DR. POE'S SEGREGATION SCHEME. From the Independent, Elizabeth City, N.C. o weekly, white paper. Dr. Clarence Poe, formerly Mr. Clarence Poe, of Raleigh, has sent me a partial reprint of a speech which he recently delivered at Charlottesville, Va., on the subject of race segregation. Mr. Poe wants a cheeker-board Southland, and he wants all the papers in the South to help him along with his scheme. Dr. Poe has been laboring hard over this hobby for some time. He believes that the rural South is growing blacker instead of whiter, and points that in the South Atlantic States, in the last census decade, white farmers increased only 12 per cent, while Negro farmers increased 23 per cent. He also pointed out that Negroes are growing faster in farm ownership, there being 183,000 increase in the number of white tenant farmers in the last decade, against only 118,000 increase in Negro tenant farmers. The chief reason for this progress of the blacks, says Dr. Poe, is an unfair economic advantage in that the Negroes*are able to buy land and make crops on a scale of living, clothing and housing, that the white farmers can not meet. Dr. Poe thinks that, to effectively block this increase of Negro landowners we should have laws restricting the sale of property in the white neighborhood to white people only. While we have got the nigger even half-way down, for God's sake let's keep him down! Give the black half a chance and he will own his land where the white man will continue to rent. We can't keep the Negro from saving his money and getting a foothold on the land, so lets stop selling him good land. So argues Dr. Poe, and I for one have no sympathy with his propaganda, though all the Farmers' Union in 4S States are backing him. If the Negro's standard of living is low, so much lower than that of the white man, then made it low? If the standard of living of the white tenant class in the South is higher than it should be, then who made it so high? When the foregoing questions have been answered we can discuss Dr. Poe's segregation scheme somewhat intelligently. Without an answer to these questions we can not discuss the scheme intelligently or begin to deal honorably with it. The answer to both questions is found in the landowning aristocracy of the South. This landowning aristocracy has forced the lowest standard of living upon the Negro and attempted to keep him in subjection by starvation wages. On the other hand it has ever encouraged the white tenant class in the South to live beyond its means that it might hold this white tenant class in subjection by keeping it overloaded with debt. This landowning class is as much the enemy of the poor white as it is the enemy of the black. But in endeavoring to keep the black down low wages, it thoughtlessly kept him down to a low standard of living by teaching him to subsist upon the scraps from the white man's table. The Negro has lived upon scraps and saved his money while the white tenant has gone to his landlord's store and run himself into debt and bad health by paying exorbitant prices for adulterated food-stuffs. Again, in the cities the white propertyed class has in its zeal to line its own pockets with dirty cash, thought lessly given the Negro a lift, in its methods of exploiting the poor white tenant class. The cotton mill owners send their agents into the farming countries everywhere to lure the poor white tenant farmer and his brood of children into town. The result is a continual depopulation of rural communities. Every white tenant farmer who has a number of bright and active children old enough to stand at a machine, is the prey of the cotton mill owners. And here we have the poor white sending his children into the mills to become physical, mental and moral perverts, while the Negro who has been taught to subsist upon a crust contents himself with his crust and sends his children to school. The trouble with the Southland is not that the Negro is making too much progress, but is that the poor whites are kept backward in culture and oppressed on every hand by the wealthy classes exploiting them. Refusing to sell a hard working Negro your land is not going to help the situation a bit. No country can succeed by keeping any part of its population down. Permanent success built upon a foundation of righteousness can only come through a patient and intelligent exercise of that virtue as yet so little understood—JUSTICE! If we suffer much from the Negro problem, we must take our suffering meekly and philosophically, like strong men; for this problem is one we brought upon ourselves. The Negro did not thrust himself upon us. We brought him here a helpless creature to do our work and to create wealth for our land-owning aristocracy. We have sinned against him much, and when he has sinned against us it has been only through his primal ignorance or under the guidance of vile white men who used him as their tool. We can not atone for crimes against this black man by blocking his progress now, putting him off with a promise that he can twang one of our mythical jew harps and abide with us as a social equal when he gets to heaven. And, by the way, that too is something I can not quite comprehend: Why people who don't want to give a nigger elbow room on earth will spend their money to endow him with a sixteen-foot spread of wings and a ticket to Paradise?

On Thursday, April 23, Dr. Harry Williams spoke to the pupils of Smothers School, Benning, D. C., on Hygiene. He gave them a simple yet illuminating talk on the bath, food and exercise. The doctor laid stress on the necessity of keeping our food free from contamination. The children were readily led to see that the fly is the agent most guilty of soiling food, and that in aiming to get rid of the fly we would be compelled to do away with all disease harboring refuse. Dr. Williams reminded the boys and girls that they could get a plenty of exercise in cleaning up the house, and removing trush from the neighborhood of the home. The lecture was enjoyed by both teachers and pupils JUDGE ROBERT H. TERRELL, Making a record. THE COLORED LAWYERS. No matter what the faults of the colored lawyers may be, many of them, as The Bee has said, are making records. There is no man at the bar who is more honored and respected than Judge Robert H. Terrell. His record as a Judge of the Municipal Court has won for him the highest commendation of the bar, irrespective of color. The popularity of the Judge comes to him because he is a mixer. He is never to big to greet his fellowman, no matter what his color of condition may be. His reception at Richmond, Va., a few weeks ago, was a royal one. Editor John Mitchell said to a Bee representative a few days ago that the citizens of Richmond, Va., were anxious to see a real Negro Judge. The Judge may have his faults, but he is a jolly good fellow. Same, a Civil War is now on hand And the country's in much confusion sion. Yankees will march in Dixie Land. And fill the Negroes with delusion. But with one hundred thousand men, Who are brave, with a resolution. To take up arms and cause defend, And save an inherited institution. We'll leave our wives and daughters With our Negroes here at home. For they are brave and never falter, While unmolested and left alone. The Yankees are coming, gun in hand, Let every man march to the front, We will make them run, if we can, Then we'll return to fish and hunt. These blue, Yanks seem hard to lick, For they are coming in all around, So we must rush them mighty quick, While our men are fresh and sound. But now our cause is almost lost, And our rushing is all in vain; We route them as they come to us, But they rally and come again. Look, our Negroes like demons fight, And they should be on our side; They charge and shoot without sight, While the Yankees shoot and hide. Now we freely give our Negroes up. But we'll always be their friend, The Yankees shove them to the front. Their rights they never will defend. Now, we will end this awful strife, And go home and start life over, For peace we love, as well as life; The Negro will be slaves no more. Mt Carmel Baptist Church Last Sunday was another one of the phenominal days at the Mt. Carmel Baptist church. In spite of the unusual April heat we had three flatteringly attended services. In the afternoon a "Monument Service" was held for the purpose of raising funds to place a monument over the resting place of Rev. W. P. Gibhons, the former pastor. Rev. A. J. Tyler, pastor of the Mt. Airy Baptist church, presided. The principal speaker was Dr. W. Bishop Johnson, pastor of the Second Baptist church. Mr. I. Edward Wilson, Exalted Ruler of the Morning Star Lodge of Elks, and Mr. J Finley Wilson, editor of the Eagle, also delivered splendid addresses. Music was furnished by the choir and the Elks Band, each clothing themselves with honor in their renditions. This movement to erect a monument to Dr. Gibbons is another of the many things that Rev. Dr. Jernagin is doing which proves the magnanimity of his glowing character. On Tuesday evening we had a distinguished visitor in the person of Prof. J. R. Lee, director of the Academic Department of Tuskegee Institute, Tuskegee, Alabama. BETHEL LITERARY. On May 4 Prohibition Night will be held by Bethel Literary. The speakers will be Andrew Wilson, president Anti-saloon League; Mrs. Alma J. Scott, president of W. C. T. U., District of Columbia; Mrs. C. H. Steptau, Rev. Walter H. Brooks, pastor Nineteenth Street Church, Mrs. Rosetta E. Yawson, Rev. J. M. Waldron, Dr. J. H. N. Waring. The church having the largest number of members and patrons will receive the Prohibition banner. ANTON FISHER.

Washington—Pleading for her sixty-year-old "boy," who, she says, will die if he is not permitted to obtain the drugs denied him by the Harrison antidrug bill, an eighty-one-year-old Colorado woman has written a pitiful letter to Dr. B. R. Reese of the internal revenue division of the treasury department. She addressed her letter to President Wilson, but Secretary Tumulty sent it to Dr. Reese, whose office is the clearing house of such correspondence. Much as the appeal of the old Colorado woman moved the officials, no exception will be made in that case. There is no intention on the part of the internal revenue division to issue blanket permits to obtain drugs for individual cases. PAYS AN OLD DEBT. Tennessee Farmer Sends Check For $3.50 Plow Bought In 1896. Little Rock, Ark.-In 1906 J. Milton Williams, a Tennessee farmer, bought a plow from H. S. Speck, a hardware dealer at Morristown, Tenn., on credit. Recently Mr. Speck, who long ago left Tennessee and is now a resident of Little Rock, received a check for $3.50, the price of the plow. The letter accompanying the check read as follows: "Dear Sir--You remember some years ago I bought of you a turning plow. I have always intended to pay the debt, but it seemed that I had so many things on me that I had to put what little money I could get into other places. I hope you will pardon me for keeping you out of your money for so long. I trust you are well and prosperous." BRAVE FRENCH AIR MAN CAN FIGHT NO MORE Capture of Roland Garros Big Loss to Allies' Aerial Fleet. Paris.—When Roland G. Garros, the daring French aviator, was captured by the Germans one of the most picturesque careers of the war came to a halt. The leutenant had proved himself to be the most brilliant and daring air man in any army. Leutenant Garros is well known in the United States, having flown in P. many competitions in that country. One of his latest exploits was at Dunkirk, when he shot dead in the air the aviator and the observer of a German aeroplane. He went out against this machine alone, and as his machine was the faster he was able to gain an advantageous position, from which he fired with fatal precision. Garros was born of French parents at Cape Town, South Africa, in 1885. He is a graduate of the University of Paris and of its law school and for a time practiced his profession in the French capital. The exploits of Garros have made him a prominent figure in aviation circles throughout the world. He has appeared in meets in Richmond, Chattanooga, Memphis, New Orleans, Dallas, Fort Worth, Oklahoma City, Waco, Houston, San Antonio, El Paso, Mexico City, Vera Cruz, Havana and New York and holds a number of speed prizes won at tournaments held in many European cities. On Dec. 11, 1912, Garros ascended to a height of 10.622 feet and established a world's altitude mark. On his flight from Tunis to Sicily in December, 1912 he traveled for a distance of 160 miles entirely over water. When he flew across the Mediterranean from St. Raphael to Bizerta he traveled 558 miles in 7 hours and 33 minutes. 527 DAYS FOR BOOZING. The Court Also Rubs In a Fine of $200. Must "Stay Sober." Sandusky, O.-James Smith, thirty-five, was brought to the county jail here from Castalia to serve 527 days for drunkenness and disorderly conduct. Justice Charles Canfield, before whom he entered a plea of guilty, gave him six months after assessing a fine of $200 and costs. Canfield in passing sentence told Smith he was determined to have him stay sober for awhile. ' eA Se yy fi. ? Wer’ 2 han ss PAINE eDOeP BY Ate Nez toe err Mayuser RE. aAeSE NR ONE .

Before the largest crowd of the season, Moorhouse met the strong Tuskegee aggregation on April 14, and was defeated by the score of 7 to 6 in a loosely played game. Kennedy opposed Nicholes and out pitched his opponent, but: lack of support lost the game. Tuskegee scored one in the first and Moorhouse evened it up in the second. Three more in the fifth gave Tuskegee the lead, but Morehouse came up with four in the sixth and it was then anybody's game until the fatal ninth when Tuskegee sent two across the rubber.

GIRL KILLS DEER NEAR HOME. Good Shot. Concord, N. H.—To Miss Ruth Gil- man, fifteen years old, of Penacook, N. H., probably belongs the honor of be- ing the youngest woman in New Eng: land to Kill n 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 bad ever fired at and one of a very few she had ever seen, although ske Lad roamed the fields and woods of central New Hamp- ‘ahire since she was able to toddie and ‘is an expert with tlie rifle or shotgun. She has killed scores of small game, -aquirrels, rabbits and partridge, but it had never been her good fortune to get ag shot at a real ve deer until this season, and then her first shot brought down the game. - | CREW STARVED SIX DAYS. Terrible Experience of Shipwrecked Sailors—Two Women With Them. Santiago, Cuba.—The Ward Uner Manzanillu, which arrived here, brought the shipwrecked crew of the British bark Ethel V. Berinton, a lum- ber Inder vessel from Mobile for Genoa. A storm struck the Berinton, dis- mantling her completely, most of the vessel being submerged. Finally an immense wave broke the vessel in two. Captain Waldemar, his wife and niece, and the crew of nine men, hud. ling in part of the prow which con. tinued afloat, remained thus for six days without food or water until they "were rescued by the Manzanillo. They a taken to a hospltal urider the care of the British consul. Their con- ition is serious, but all will probably recover. SHOVELS COAL IN SLEEP. Sompambulist Gets Up at 2 A, M, and Unloads Eight Tons. Lake Odessa, Mich—In a most re- markable 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 siding 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 ex- haustion. Berrington had worked at the same task the day before, and it {s 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.

Atlanta, Ga.—Although the highest court in the land has decreed that he must pay the death penalty for the murder of little Mary Phagan, Leo Frank has not given up his fight. His attorneys are now busy on new plans, and the young man, condemned to the gallows, is still hopeful. The supreme court of the United States in deciding that his trial had been fair, that the jury had not been influenced by public sentiment, apparently blasted his last hope. There was one ray of light, however. He could appeal to the governor of Georgia for clemency, but there was no further legal action apparent. All the nation watched this case closely. Friends of Frank held that race prejudice entered into the trial. Frank is a Jew. Hundreds of letters are pouring into the office of the governor of Georgia asking for a pardon or for commutation of the sentence to life imprisonment. Frank was manager and also a shareholder in a penel factory at Atlanta. [Image of a man with dark hair and a white shirt] Mary Phagan, fourteen years of age, was employed in the factory. She called on a holiday to collect her wages and falling to reappear at her home, search was instituted and at 3 o'clock the following morning her body was found in a remote part of the plant, showing evidence of murder and assault. Suspects were taken in by the police, and then suspicion attached to Frank. He was convicted mainly on the testimony of Jim Conley, a negro, who said he had helped Frank to dispose of the body after the murder. Local sentiment was against the prisoner almost from the start. Remarkable stories of his alleged immorality were told. The defense tried to fusten the crime on Conley, the negro, who was an employee of the factory. A note which purported to have been written by the murdered girl just before her death was a link in the testimony. It was found torn in scraps near her body and purported to be addressed to her mother, in which she charged the crime on a negro without naming him. The handwriting bore a slight resemblance to Frank's writing, but Conley after first denying that he wrote the note or that he was in the factory on the day of the murder, finally confessed that he wrote the note, but at the direction of Frank. Leo M. Frank is a native of Brooklyn, a graduate of the Brooklyn high school, who won a scholarship in Cornell university and is also well educated along technical lines. He has a family in Atlanta and up to the time of the murder had a reputation generally in the community of being a successful business man of good moral reputation. The courtroom was crowded in anticipation of a decision in the Frank case and many people stood in line outside unable to gain admission. Since the case has been before the supreme court a nation wide agitation has been carried on in favor of the prisoner, and it was evident that his friends were many and influential and that money was not being spared in an effort to influence public sentiment in favor of the prisoner. $10,000 For Kind Act Manitowoc, Wis.—Because he cared for him while slick William Gatterman was left $10,000 by Robert A. Wilson. Wilson came from Monroe and lived at the Gatterman home until taken to Milwaukee for treatment. Gatterman remained with him until he died. The two men were unknown to each other until five months ago. Come Home With Quantity of Neighbor's Corn and a Few Messages. Stevens Point, Wis.—Frank M. Sackett, after a great deal of difficulty, has convinced H. K. West of the town that his chickens are a lot of handits at heart. He told him about it long ago, and now Mr. West, blushing, admits it. Mr. Sackett complained that his seeds were being dug up faster than he could plant them. Mr. West spoke about Missouri, and Mr. Sackett agreed to "show him." He scattered corn in his garden, but first ran a thread through each kernel, and on the far end he tied little cards. Hanging from each chicken's beak when they went home were the evidences of guilt. No jury's verdict was ever more damning. Here are a few of the inscriptions on the cards: "I have just been scratching in Mr. Sackett's yard." "I am a naughty chicken." "I have been trespassing." "I am a feathered bandit." FARMERS' BIG PROFITS. War Demands, It Is Said, Added $200,- 000,000 to Growers' Gains. Chicago-Europe's war has enriched middle west farmers approximately $200,000,000, the money going chiefly to growers of grains. What speculators have made by the war perhaps never will be known. A prominent grain merchant said the $200,000,000 "extra" received by farmers for their bumper wheat, corn and oats crops can be readily accounted for by citing the one instance in regard to prices for cash wheat. He pointed out that wheat now is selling and has been for months at from 35 cents to 50 cents more a bushel than it would have brought but for the war. MONTHS IN PRISON "HAPPIEST OF LIFE" Also Most Useful, Says Ex-Convict, a California Millionaire. Atlanta, Ga. — When Frederick A. Hyde, sixty-seven years old, millionaire land dealer and former president of the board of education of San Francisco, left the federal penitentiary here, after serving sixteen months, his first statement was that those months had been the most useful of his whole life. He added that he would return to his home in California, where his wife, daughter and three sons are waiting for him, not afraid to look any man in the face. "Not only have these sixteen months been the most useful in my career," said Hyde when interviewed in his apartments at the Piedmont hotel, "but this period has been the happiest of my life, and I have derived more good from my work at the prison than at any other time." Hyde was imprisoned in December, 1913, after one of the most sensational court battles in the history of the country. He was sentenced to serve two years for alleged conspiracy in land frauds, but the sentence was commuted by President Wilson. At the penitentiary Hyde was known among his fellow prisoners as the "angel convict" because of his work to better the conditions of the other prisoners, especially those who were poor. He was assigned to the prison newspaper, Good Works, and in the performance of his duties was allowed to go to all parts of the prison and mingle with all the convicts. From the first he took an interest in their welfare. He found that baseball and a few wormout movie films were the only amusements in the prison. He laid out plans for a complete athletic field which, with money furnished by himself, was constructed by Hyde and his fellow prisoners. Hyde's greatest work in the prison was with the unfortunate men who finished their terms but looked upon freedom with no pleasure because they were without friends or money to make a new start in life. To hundreds of these Hyde gave encouragement and money, in many cases furnished them with sufficient funds to re-establish themselves in business. One of Hyde's philanthropies in the prison was the establishment of a library. He bought hundreds of valuable books with his own money and donated them to the prison. PATIENT FASTED TWO MONTHS And Buttermilk "Did Taste Good at the End." Warsaw, Ind.—After establishing a record for continuous fasting Jim Robinson asked for a glass of buttermilk and as he slowly swallowed it admitted that it tasted good. This was the first nourishment taken by Robinson, who is an inmate of the county infirmary, for eight weeks. His long fast was due to lack of appetite and the fact that the taste and smell of food nauseated him. Physicians here declare his case has no parallel in medical history. Fifty-five days was held to the limit of man's endurance, yet Robinson passed that mark by more than a day and is still alive. During that period he lost nearly a hundred pounds. Except for being weakened, his general physical condition was not affected. The National Religious Training School, Durham, N.C.

Atlanta, Ga.—Mr. Wanzie Davis and Mr. Maynard Jackson, graduates of the college class of 1914, now students at the Meharry Medical College, were on the campus last week. Mr. William Pullins, an Alumnus of this schools and editor of the Southern Standard, witnessed the debate between Morehouse and Knoxville on Friday night, April 9th. For several years, Mr. George W. Perkins of New York has kindly given each year the sum of twenty-five dollars to be used in the Academy for prizes in Eiglish composition. A prize of fifteen dollars for excellence in English Composition open to third and fourth-year students was awarded to Christopher E. Jackson of the Third Year Class. A prize of ten dollars for excellence in English Composition open to first and second year students was awarded to Harold Dubart of the Second Year Class. The Intercolligiate Triangular Debate which occurred on April 9th between Morehouse College, Knoxville College and Talladega College, resulted in a triple tie. The negative side was the loser. The question for discussion was "Resolved: That the Capitalists of Colorado are justified in refusing to employ only union labor in the mines of the state." William Hayes and Barbour, with Fullmighter as alternate, defended the affirmative at home against Knoxville. Frayser, Lane, Zuber, with John Adams, as alternate, defended the negative against Talladega. The team that represented the college at Talladega was an entirely new team; but made a fine showing. Haynes and Barbour presented a great argument and by winning Friday night they set up a new record by winning three straight debates. This is Haynes' last year and he will be missed around Morehouse next year. He has proven himself to be one of the most skillful debaters. A very large audience was present at Morehouse and a great college spirit was manifested in the student body. The Tuskegee aggregation will invade Morehouse Wednesday, April 14th, and a great game is expected. PARAGRAPHIC The largest bronze statute is that of Peter the Great in Saint Petersburg, Russia.

"Come, Let Us Reason Together, Saith the Lord." Remarkable Growth of This Cult—Its Adherents—Their Realization of a Supernatural Power Outside of Man. An Outgrowth of Present-Day Conditions—Are Its Teachings Logical? Some Perplexing Problems—Power of the Will In Resisting Disease. Binghamton, N. Y., April 25.—Pastor Russell's discourse here today was of unusual interest. His text was, "Come now, let us reason together, saith the Lord; though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow." (Isaiah 1:1S.) He said in part: PETER J. BURKE What a man believes or disbelieves is his own business, and not subject to public criticism. But when a number of people associate themselves, adopt a name, publish their doctrines to the world and invite members, their doctrines are properly subject to public criticism. They still preserve their individual rights, however. Doctrines only may be criticised; and these should be honestly treated, not misrepresented. This applies to every creed, every cult; and all honest people should welcome such investigation and truthful criticism. We assume that Christian Scientists, therefore, will appreciate what we now have to say as much as, or more than, others. We trust that we always have this attitude toward any criticism leveled against our public teachings. We are therefore following the Golden Rule laid down by the Lord, and acknowledged by all. The growth of Christian Science has astonished the world. Its teachings seem to have appealed to a very intelligent, well-to-do class of people, of considerable mental independence, possessed of considerable "backbone." So far as we have conversed with them we find that physical healing seems to have been more or less associated with their conversion to their cult. Either themselves or their friends have been healed. Their realization of the cure brought them religious conviction as instead of the doubts and wonderments of their previous experiences. The awakening to this conviction that there is a real power outside of man, a supernatural power, aroused a religious sentiment such as they had never known before. It seems to them that they have started a new life. The reason for this is that nominal Christianity is merely a form of godliness, without power or conviction. This form of godliness has spread to such an extent that the whole world is styled Christendom—Christ's Kingdom. In countries like Great Britain, Germany, Russia and Scandinavia, approximately ninety-five per cent of the population are rated as Christians, even though some of these are in prison, some in insane asylums, and some too young to think at all or be anything. In Italy, everybody is rated a Christian—although amongst some of the Italians who come to our shores flourish works of the Devil, such as the Black Hand, the Mafia, etc. Bewildered Christendom. Additionally, a sincere class of Christian people have, during the last fifty years, been in great pluriplexity because of the stupendous nonsense intermingled with Truth which was handed down to us from the Dark Ages. Under the increasing light, thinking people have not been able to swallow some of the monstrous statements of the creeds as readily as did their forefathers. The persecution of Baptists gave place to toleration—that they might baptise as they chose, even though their teaching that immersion is the door into the Church implied that all the unlumensed are outside the true Church, outable the pale of salvation, and hence prospectively subject to eternal torture. Presbyterians and Methodists, unable to down each other on the subject of Election or Free Grace, agreed to "live and let live." The great churches which formerly persecuted all others as heretics, forbidding any to preach except by their ordinations, gradually found themselves compelled to desist from making their tenets too prominent. Thus people are more or less bewildered as to what are the differences between the various denominations; and many conclude that the only difference is in forms ceremonies, ordinations, etc. The doctrine that God had fore-dained the out of every 1000 to an eternity of texture in fire was gradually looked at as too horrible to believe. The alternative doctrine, that God did not forsake the matter thus, but had not the wisdom or power to avoid such a catastrophe for His creatures, was equally repugnant. As a consequence, preachers began to tell that the destiny of the world was not literal fire, but mawing of conscience, etc. each manufacturing a Hell in accordance with his own wisdom or ignorance and to suit his congregation. Under such conditions Christian Science was born, and has grown to its present proportions. Three things especially favored it: (1) its acceptance of the Bible; (2) its rejection of everlasting torment, mental or physical; (3) its teaching respecting Divine healing. Mrs. Eddy, the acknowledged head of Christian Science, had a keen mind and considerable wisdom in its exercise. She would hold to the Bible, even though she needed to pervert its teachings. She would not make her teachings respecting the future life too pronounced or too antagonistic to other theories. She contented herself with vague, ambiguous statements re the future life. She laid principal stress on healing, and settled all doctrinal difficulties with the dictum that there is no evil, there is no sin, there is no death; that what have been called sin, death and evil are merely errors of the mind. The very absurdity of some of these statements advertised them. People said, What does it mean-There is no death, no sickness, no pain, no sorrow, no evil of any kind? Absurd! Later, they said. We will see how Christian Scientists explain death, sickness, pain, sin. Thus curiosity led them into the metaphysical labyrinth which Mrs. Eddy had skillfully constructed. Having no intelligent knowledge of the Bible, they were just in condition to fall an, easy prey to "Mother Eddy's" errors. If some of her definitions were fanful, far-fetched and unscriptural, they were no more so than the teachings to which people had been accustomed from childhood and which substantially claim that the more unreasonable and illogical a matter is, the more faith is implied by the believing of it. C. S. Readers and Practitioners. Christian Scientists feel what might be termed spiritual pride in connection with their healing practises and with the public reading of the Scriptures and Mrs. Eddy's comments—as much spiritual pride perhaps as is sometimes felt in other churches by preachers, elders, deacons, vestrymen, deaconesses, etc. To be lifted from the ordinary walks of life to places of distinction in Christianity, especially in scientific Christianity, would surely appeal to the majority. Once elevated to positions as readers or practitioners or healing practitioners, it becomes their duty loyalty to support and defend the system which they represent. And so, just as earnestly as with other sects, the establishment and defense of Christian Science goes courageously onward. Still another class is interested, financially—those in control of the Christian Science literature. It sells at good stiff prices; and anybody questioning the merchandising of the truth is given to understand that he is unappreciative; and with the majority of people the price regulates the value, anyway. Is Christian Science Logical? Having, we believe, fairly stated the facts and claims of Christian Scientists, we now inquire whether or not their teachings are logical. We hold that they are not, and will endeavor to show in what respects this is true. "Mother Eddy," striving after a truth, declared that there is no pain, no skiness, no sorrow, etc. The truth she was feeling after, but did not fully grasp, is that sin, skiness, sorrow, death, are abnormal conditions. There could be none of these, except for the curse that came upon our race at the beginning, because of disloyalty to God. We agree with Mrs. Eddy to the extent that these conditions are not designed by God to be everlasting. He does not recognize them as proper for those in fellowship with Him. Nothing gives us any reason to suppose that they have prisons, insane asylums, hospitals, doctors or cemeteries in Heaven, where all is perfect and in fullest harmony with God. Messiah's great work of Redemption will obliterate these unsatisfactory conditions from the earth. Jesus Himself tells us that their abolition will be the result of His Kingdom work of a thousand years—Revelation 20:6; 21:4; 22:3. But is it wise for us to say in one breath that all these will pass away, and in the next breath that they are non-existent? Surely we all value consistency and logic. Otherwise language would bring us merely confusion, instead of intelligence. Let us then say that, with mankind in proper relationship with God, there would be none of these things; that they exist now be cause man is out of relationship with God through sin; and that God's provision, according to the Bible, is that mankind shall be delivered from this bondage of sin and death into the glorious liberty of the sons of God.-Rom. 8:21. In this view, too, we see that the perfect earth was represented in Eden, and that eventually Eden will be world-wide. The perfect race was represented in Father Adam before he sinned; and through Christ, eventually the earth will be filled with perfect human beings, such as Adam was. Then whoever will not come into fullest accord with the Lord will die the Second Death. Theirs will be perishing like natural brute beasts, which St. Peter mentions—the punishing with an everlasting destruction, mentioned by St. Paul. (2 Peter·2:12; 2 Thessalonians 1:9) But nothing in the Bible implies an everlasting torture of any member of our race or even of Adam himself. In the Bible presentation there is a special place for the Church of the Gospel Age, called out of the world before the Restitution Times. Her acceptance of the Call implies her attempt to live in fullest harmony with the Lord under present imperfect, unsatisfactory conditions—even to the extent of laying down life for the brethren, for the service of God and His Word. To this Church class, the Bible assures us, will come a still higher blessing than that of Restitution. The Church is to have spirit nature—yea, the highest form of spirit nature, "the Divine."—2 Peter 1:4. Truth Biblical, Scientific, Sanctifying. We commend Christian Scientists for their endeavor to hold fast to the Bible. but remind them that not the letter of the Bible merely will enlighten and sanctify, but its spirit, its real meaning. This is obtainable, not by confusing definitions, but by simplicity of mind in accepting the words for what they are and putting them together in logical order. Let us give Mrs. Eddy credit for destring to be logical; but let us notice that, whatever she thought, her language was confusing when she said, "There is no death, no sickness, no pain." The most that can be conceded by the most generous logician would be that there should be no death, no sickness, no pain, no sorrow. If things were in right condition. But they are not in a right condition, as the Bible declares and as all can see. And they will not be so until the Savior who redeemed the world by the sacrifice of Himself shall assume His kingly office and right the wrongs which sin has brought us. As a result of His work, there will then be—at the close of the Millennial Age—no slu, no death, no sorrow, no pain. But since Mrs. Eddy and Christian Science fail to recognize and state these facts clearly. It follows that however attractive some of the teachings may be to some people, they cannot be relied upon, because they are off the true foundation—recognizing neither the facts of sin and death nor the necessity for a redemption from those conditions by the sacrifice of Jesus, nor appreciating the necessity for the coming Restitution. Furthermore, Christian Science does not clearly differentiate between the Church, which has been in process of calling and election for more than eighteen centuries, and the world, which still lies in the Wicked One, and which will not be dealt with until the Church shall be glorified, and with her Lord shall constitute the Kingdom of Righteousness. Jesus prayed for His Church, "Sanctify them through Thy Truth; Thy Word is Truth." While Christian Scientists and people of other denominations, and some of the heathen as well, are, many of them, moral, exemplary, honorable, nevertheless few of them, surely, claim to be sanctified. Indeed, the sanctifying features of the Truth they ignore or do not see. We are not to think of church attendance or of rejection of profanity, liquors, etc., as sanctification. The putting away of the fifth of the flesh is indeed commendable, but is only a primary step in the right direction. God is now calling a sanctified class—a set-apart people—whom He is testing under the promise, "Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a Crown of Life." This does not signify faithfulness to a denomination or a cult, but faithfulness to the Lord, to the testimony of His Word, to the principles of righteousness, to self-surrender to God to walk in Jesus' footsteps. We will not discuss at length the scientific element of Christian Science. To some it seems very unscientific—in harmonious with the Truth. We believe that the only way that anything scientific could be associated with it is by adding to it the thought that sorrow, sin and death are in the world only temporarily, by reason of transgression of Divine Law, and that they are to be rooted out and destroyed as noxious weeds by Messiah's Kingdom. Christian Scientists tell us that they have received great benefit mentally and physically from following Mrs. Eddy's theory and denying that there is any pain, etc. We quite agree that the will is a powerful factor in resisting disease—that if we brood over sorrows, difficulties, aches and pain, they are increased by the operation of our minds. We agree, as do all physicians, that the mind should be lifted as much as possible from our diseases and placed upon happily subjects. This is rational and logical; but it is illogical, irrational and, above all, untruthful, to say that we are without pain when we have pain. The lover of the truth can never consent to this. Honesty must be first with all right-minded people, and surely is pleasing to God. Let us then not go to the extreme of untruthfulness or to the other extreme of exaggerating our ills; but, Let every man think soberly—Romans 123. A Very Pernicious Teaching. There is one doctrine held by Christian Scientists—and for that matter by many of other denominations, who state themselves less positively—that is very pernicious, very injurious, very untrue, very unscientific, very unscriptural. This is the teaching that God is omnipresent—present in everything and in every place. Nothing in the Bible so declares; and when we attempt to be wiser than what is written, we are surely making a mistake. Whoever thinks of God as unmplenent necessarily thinks of Him as impersonal; and the more he thinks, the more vague his God becomes, until gradually he has no God, but merely (as some Christian Scientists, including Mrs. Eddy, express it) believes in a principle of good, and calls that principle God. Such wish to believe in a supreme Creator, but by this erroneous reasoning they mislead their own intelligence into the denial of a personal God. Whoever believes in a God who is everywhere believes in one who is not a person. The Bible teaches a personal God—n great Spirit Being. The Bible gives Him a home, or locality, and does not teach that He is everywhere. It was Jesus who taught us to pray, "Our Father, which art in Heaven." Oh, now different this is from saying that God is in everything that has use or value—in the soil, because it is useful for the development of fruits; in the chair, because it is useful to sit upon; and in the table, because it is useful as a convenience! Such teachings are faith-destroying, and surely lead away from the sanctification of heart and life and from the faith which the Bible inculcates. THE FAITH OF ONE PERSECUTED 1 Samuel 12.—May 2. Baul's Jealousy of David—Attempts to Injure Him—Frequent Deliverances Superhuman—Satan, Our Great Enemy, Seeks Our Injury—Devotion to God and Righteousness Secures Us Deliverance—Why Such Experiences Are Permitted of God. "Whoso putteth his trust in the Lord shall be safe."—Procrida 2925. ARS with the Philistines continuing, David was made a regular soldier, with command over a regiment and closely in touch with King Saul. Victory came wherever David was engaged, and King Saul saw the people's admiration turned from himself to David. The sentiment reached a climax when, on the return from a victory, the women came forth singing. But David his tens of thousands!" Jealousy took full possession of the king, and thenceforth his one purpose seems to have been to destroy David. It was a secret withheld from him that David was already annotated to be his successor. He merely knew that Samuel the Prophet had told him that in consequence of his failure to carry out the Divine Instructions regarding the Amalekites, the kingdom would be taken from him and his family and given to another. A ship sinking in the sea. Jealousy is the bitter fruit of selfishness. It unbalances reason, extinguishes happiness, and subjects its possessor to horrible melancholy. It is the most terrible, and the most foolish, manifestation of selfishness. Everyone recognizing it in himself should seek victory through vigilance and prayer. When under control of jealousy, King Saul is described as having an evil spirit from the Lord—more properly, an evil spirit opposite from the Lord's Spirit of kindness, justice, love. Sometimes David could soothe him by skillful playing on a harp; yet he knew the king's treacherous mood, and on two occasions hindered Saul from throwing at him a javelin. Intent upon drawing; him into a quarrel, the king promised David his elder daughter to wife, and then gave her to another. David, however, discreetly commented that he was neither of a sufficiently noble family nor financially able to expect such honors. Another trap was to betroth to him the king's younger daughter, Michal. David again told of his unworthiness and his lack of wealth, whereupon Saul stipulated that her dowry should be the evidence of the killing of a hundred Philistines. No doubt he hoped that David would lose his life; but instead, David killed twice the number and received Saul's daughter. Finally the king told Jonathan and his courtlers that David must die. Jonathan's sentiment was as loving and brotherly as his father's was cruel, jealous, selfish. It was Jonathan who would lose by David's attainment of the throne. Hence the love of Jonathan has become a proverb. Jonathan interceded with his father for David. The plea was successful. David again became a member of the royal household, but only for a time. The king was not without noble sentiments, but they were not deep enough to control his life. He was under control of a selfish spirit, which is opposite from the Spirit of God. Ere long, in a jealous fit the king threw his javelin with deadly aim; but David quickly dodged it. David went to his room; but a guard had been stationed there, instructed that upon coming forth he was to be killed. His wife assisted him to escape by letting hint down out of a window. Two Hundred Lives. For a Wife. Let us now inquire how David's course in killing two hundred human beings for a wife squares with the principles of justice, which the Bible everywhere maintains. First, we must have in mind the difference between being a Jew under the Law Covenant and being a Christian under the headship of Christ. Second, we must remember that the Bible teaches that the penalty of sin is death—not torment after death; that this penalty have in mind the difference between being a Jew under the Law Covenant and being a Christian under the headship of Christ. Second, we must remember that the Bible teaches that the penalty of sin is death—not torment after death; that this penalty was justly inflicted upon Father Adam because of his wilful sin; and that his family die because the seeds of death are in us from our birth. From this viewpoint, ours is a world of convicts under death-sentence. This accounts for God's permitting various death-dealing circumstances to control—famine, pestilences, cyclones, etc. When we come to see that the same God who justly condemned all through one man's disobedience has made provision for the justification of all through Christ's obedience unto death we see things in a new light. David must be judged by the Law under which his nation was placed at Mount Sinai. The Israelites were informed that the Canaanites had allowed their cup of iniquity to come to the full, and that Israel was given that entire land. David, therefore, was carrying out the Divine instruction.
