Washington Bee

IF IT'S NEWS, IT'S IN THE BEE, FOR THE BEE IS A NEWSPAPER. THE BEE WASHINGTON Congressional Library Washing ing Negro Newspaper Thaks THE BEE VOL. XXXVI, NO. 9 HON. JOHN WINGATE WEEKS A Popular Idol of the People for President of the United States. Hon. John Wingate Weeks of West Newton, Mass., was born in Lancaster, N. H. He graduated at the United States Naval Academy in 1881; served in the United States Navy from graduation until 1883; served in the Massachusetts Naval Brigade 10 years; served in the Volunteer Navy during the Spanish-American War; was for 3 years—1901-1903—alderman, and two years—1903 and 1904—mayor of the city of Newton; was elected to the Senate January 14, 1913, to succeed the Hon. Winthrop Murray Crane. There is no man in the country more popular in the West and North than this distinguished ex-soldier and statesman. Senator Weeks is safe on the race question; indeed he believes in equality for every man regardless of his nationality. He believes that this Government should be prepared to meet any foe or enemy upon the high seas or upon land. Senator Weeks has a strong personality, as is evidenced by his picture on the front page of The Bee. His nomination and election for president means a strong progressive republican at the helm of this great nation. What the American people want is a strong man in the White House, who is fearless, and determined to protect his fellow citizens upon foreign land. The West believes in Senator Weeks; the North will present him to the great National Republican Convention in 1916. The nomination of any good republican is a guarantee of his election by the American people. There are some great and commendable characteristics in Senator Weeks, and one is, that the most humble citizen may speak or confer with him. He is more on the order of Abraham Lincoln than any American that exists to-day. He is a great commoner. He believes in the people. He believes that every American citizen should be protected in his civil and political rights. If Senator Weeks is nominated at the next National Republican Convention he will sweep the country. The nomination of Senator Weeks will solidify all republican elements in the United States. A GREAT BABY CONTEST. The Greatest Human Exhibition Washington has ever Produced Among the Colored People—The National Benefit Under the Direction of Dr. Brown, Dr. Rutherford and Dr. Lewis Make a Great Hit—Dr. Shipley and Mr. Ware of Ware's Shoe Store to the Front. The Second Annual Hygienic Congress and Prize Baby Health Contest was held under the joint auspices of the Ladies' Inter-community Association of Anacostia, D. C., and vicinity and the National Benefit Association, Inc., of Washington, D. C., at Green Willow Park, Anacostia, D. C., Wednesday, July 21, 1915. Mr. A. J. P. Taylor, special representative of the National Benefit Association and General Manager of the Baby Show, manifested much interest towards such a contest to furnish suitable and instructive information to mothers, and thereby the sav MR. A. J. P. TAYLOR, General Manager, Anacostia, D. C. Baby Show, an Active Worker and an Invaluable Acquisition. ing of babies otherwise lost through negligence and disease. He is further responsible for the organization of a Ladies' Club in Anacostia, known as the Ladies' Inter-community Association, which has for its primary object the encouragement and success of business and professional interests of the negro race. This show is considered the best of its kind ever held in Washington, D. C., and much credit is due the committee of arrangements, consisting of Mr. A. J. P. Taylor, manager, assisted by Mr. E. N. Broadnax and others. WASHINGTON, D.C., SATURDAY, JULY 16, 1915 There were 600 contestants between the ages of 3 months and 4 years, and over 1,000 persons in attendance. The hygienic exhibits, lectures, and examinations were of special interest, conducted under the supervision of Dr. William E. Lewis, chief medical director, assisted by Dr. J. F. Dyer, Dr. F. D. Whitby, and Dr. H. R. Burwell. Dr. Lewis was instrumental in procuring valuable information in the form of charts from the Children's Bureau, Department of Labor, Washington, D. C., the Health Departments of Chicago and the D'strict of Columbia, and conceived the idea of practical information in the nature of hygienic, unhygienic and feeding and clothing booths, with drawings and explanation by demonstrators, Misses Arnetta Costin, Jessit Alken and Mrs. Rosa Spencer, to support the medical lectures. His methods and suggestions, with extensive research from every available source, have proven to make this affair the most advanced and successful of its kind ever held anywhere, and being a young, energetic, and wide-awake physician, the National Benefit is congratulated in securing his services. Clothing and apparel for-doll babies in the different booths were artistically designed and arranged under the direction of Mrs. R. H. Lewis. Dr. Anna L. Strong exhibit expert, Children's Bureau, Department of Labor, visited the show, and pronounced it a fine one. The bulletins and charts secured from her department were among those mostly appreciated. DR. W. E. LEWIS, Chief Medical Director of the Baby Show, Anacostia, D. C.—Ac- tive and Progressive. 1.

Burwell, assisted by Miss Ella Moss and Mrs. Marea Roper, secretaries, were thorough, and sufficient time was allowed each baby to determine its health and defects, all entrants being examined by numbers and not by names. The doctors, all well known young and progressive physicians of this city, pronounced the babies, as a whole, to be in the best of health. Mr. W. S. Johnson, special representative of the N. B. A., awarded the medals as follows: Beautiful gold medals for scoring the highest number of points on health rating: Class A. Henry Overton. Class B. Althea Howard. Class C. Ellsworth Johnson. Second prizes of silver medals were awarded Everett Cooper, Class A, and Dorothy Warwick, Class B. Suitable certificates of health will be given every contestant. Other noteworthy exhibits with suitable prizes were by Ware's shoe store and Dr. R. H. Shipley's drug store. Ware's store gave a pair of shoes to the healthiest baby, a pair of sandals to the next healthiest, and a half dozen pairs of socks to the third healthiest. Dr. R. W. Brown, President of the National Benefit Association, spoke of the beneficial information and lessons to be learned from the lectures, charts, and booths, and encouraged those present to follow the advice given in the perpetuation of health and the building up of a stronger race mentally, physically, and spiritually. Mrs. Cora Wilkinson, of Anacostia, D. C., gave a very interesting and instructive address with actual demonstrations on play and its relation to the education of the child. Mrs. Louisa B.

Special thanks and appreciation are given to all who in any way contributed toward the success of the baby health contest. The executive committee of the N. B. A. consists of Dr. R. W. Brown, President; R. H. Rutherford, Vice President; S. W. Rutherford, Sec. and Manager. ASSISTANT SUFT. BRUCE Brought Home from Colton, Md., in a Serious Condition—Specialist from Johns Hopkins Hospital Sent For. Assistant Superintendent Roscoe C. Bruce was taken seriously ill at Colton, Md., where he had gone with his family to spend the summer. When he left this city he was apparently in good health and almost recovered from his recent automobile accident. He was brought to the city in an automobile and carried directly to his home on Columbia road, where he was put immediately to bed and a head specialist at Johns Hopkins University was telephoned for. It was a relapse of his former illness. The last report from his bed-side was that he was improving. THE STODDARD BAPTIST HOME At the formal opening of the new home for aged and infirm colored people, "26 Bryant street June 10" it was decided to hold monthly receptions there. in order to better ac quaint the public with our Home, its objects and alms. Pursuant to this conclusion Mrs. Lawson, chairman of the "Committee on Opening," engaged the interest of Mrs. M. E. Cabaniss, President of the Helping Hand Club of the 19th street Baptist Church, and the second in the series of receptions, was held at the Home under the auspices of this club, Wednesday, July 21, 1915. A splendid musical program, participated in by Misses Louise Howard, Mabel Lucas, Inez Wade, Pearl Gordon, Mr. Edward Brooks, and the Y. M. C. A. Orchestra, was rendered, and addresses were made by Prof. Kelly Miller, Miss Nannie H. Burroughs and Prof. Meons of Holland, who is visiting this country as a student of Anthropology. The affair was well attended. Notably among the visitors were Mrs. Cornelia S. Williams, recently returned from Lausanne, Switzerland, and Mrs. Josephine Lawson Harley, of the State College, Dover, Dela. The next reception will be held under the auspices of the Ladies' Board, auxiliary to the trustees, Mrs. Annie Glover, President. Examination for Expert Dentists at Howard Dental Parlors. On September 1, 2, and 3, a competitive examination will be held at the Howard Dental Parlors, corner Seventh and T streets, to increase the corps of expert dental surgeons employed at that institution, which is forced to increase in size owing to enlarged patronage. The purpose of this examination is to select from among the many applicants for positions at this institution only those few who possess the highest degree of intellect and professional ability. The high standard of dental work being maintained at the Howard Dental Parlors is such that a competitive examination is necessary. In addition to a dental degree and five years' experience, each applicant must possess a preliminary education of at least four years in a reputable high school; apparently a small thing, but which is possessed by a very few colored dentists. The management of the Howard Dental Parlors insists that a high degree of intelligence as well as mechanical ability, is necessary that a man may show good judgment and reason in operating in a patient's mouth, that the most perfect results may be obtained. For application blanks and further details, address Dr. J. R. Francis, manager, Howard Dental Parlors, cor. Seventh and T. Open until 10 o'clock.

The Bee next week will give a full history of the Poro College of St. Louis, Mo., and its wonderful work. On Thursday evening at the residence of Dr. Amanda V. Gray and Arthur W. Gray an informal reception was held and hundreds of Washington's most representative citizens called and paid honor to these distinguished people. Samuel G. Thompson, Esq. The astute lawyer of Detroit, Mich., is in the city, having been summoned on account of the serious illness of his mother, who is not expected to live. Every member of the family is present, who anxiously wait for the final call. Mr. Thompson is an old Washingtonian, who has a large circle of friends who wish him well, and whose sympathy he has. (By the Sage of the Potomac). I ran into a heterogeneous bunch of Knights of the Round Table, Autocrats of the Breakfast Table, Pencil-Pushers, Quill Drivers, Liquid Refreshment Samplers, School Teachers, Grave Diggers and Gossip Mongers, etc., Saturday afternoon down at Aaron Gaskins, and they fell to discussing their peers, overseers, and superiors of both genders. During the interesting conversation, what was accelerated by frequent calls to the waiter to replenish the highball glasses, they got to discussing coaltar complexion exhibits what are endowed with or without diplomacy. One of 'em said that Booker T. was the greatest "yaller" diplomat that ever hit a financier's till box without selling gold bricks. Said he, "Booker is smooth, very smooth. If two of his allies get at odds, and begin throwing wordy missiles or other kind at each other, Booker T. just retires from the war zone, and refuses to sustain or detain either. He makes a neutral out of himself, and lets them fight it to a finish. If one of his allies gets into a scrimmage with one of his enemies, he also retreats a safe distance till the "cruel war is over." If his ally wins the 20 round hount with four ounce gloves, your Uncle Booker emerges from behind the scenes and salves him with praise for his dex from the war zone, and refuses to tterity, strategy, and valor. If the enemy wins the scrimmage, your Uncle Booker, like the historical boy who soils the sitting part of his trousers, don't have a word to say—just saws wood, and lets her go at that. No, sir: you can't draw or force Booker into a fight. He's the most eminent evader that ever crossed the Rubicon of life since Henry of Navarre blew holes into truth. Some times he'll run his allies into a fight—into a regular rough and tumble with an anti-Bookerite, and mebbe will hang around within halting distance until the action gets very warm, and takes on the appearance of spreading and incriminating others, and then your Uncle Booker eludes into space. Now, that's what I call a diplomat. Course I know some of you guys don't calculate that's the part of valor, but you can put it down its the part of wisdom forty-four times out of forty-four. You never hear Booker up on the ramparts holler to his cohorts: "Give me liberty or give me a peaceful burial," and you never hear of him grabbing up the faming sword and rushing into the breach and yell: "A hoax, a hoax, my kingdom for a boss." No, sir; Booker T. is the greatest living diplomat out of capitivity, and if Burgharit Dulois only had a few grams of Booker's diplomacy and tact, he'd be a popular hero. "Talking about diplomats," said one of the "hall boys" in the N. A. A. C. P. flat, "mebhe our own Kelly Milleraint some diplomat. He can run with the hares and train with the hounds as perfectly as the best of them. If he hadn't been blessed with a bundle of this stuff you call diplomacy, they would have had him out on his head up to Howard so long ago that by this time we would looked upon his disconnection with that educational plant as a bit of Grecian mythology. In all the school fights we've had in this man's town, down to the present instance included, our own dear Kelly has paddled around in a neutral zone, merely contending that the neutrality laws permitted him to give advice and comfort to Bructiles and anti-Bructiles when he met them on the public stamping grounds, and he always got away with it. You can't, down in your blood pump, really dislike Kelly if you want to, cause he is such a innocent diplomat. If the Czar, the Kaiser, and them Serbian outfits, and the ruler of Austria-Hungaria had sent Kelly a ticket to come over and take charge of diplomatic relations just wouldn't have been no war now, when they became nervous-like, there Kelly would have smoothed out the wrinkled front of old Mars, and done it as smilingly as he fences attacks on him in the faculty meetings up at Howard's cradle of education." Then another blueblood, whose daddy use to pick cotton down in South Carolina, and whose mother use to hoe tobacco over in Virginny hefo' de wah, suggested that George Cook was just some trifle of a diplomat himself. "Now, George," said he, "at first blush don't appear much like a diplomat. He's so figgy." fussy, emphatic and assertive, but less we forget, remember that George has had his troubles up at Howard, yet he stays on the salary roll. He has been able to handle every president that ever served under him. George may talk a little bit loud, and may whisper his boastfulness of never retreating, equivocating or compromising, but believe me there ain't been no time in the last twenty years that George Cook couldn't produce a brand of diplomacy that enabled him to stick on Howard's pay roll just like one of one Alcock's Porous Plasters. Now, brothers, when you gets to talking about diplomats, don't never for one tiny instance put George Cook among the second raters. He's right up there with the winners." One guy, a de luxe edition of one of the Autocrats of the Breakfast Table, who had been, considerable quiet under the weight of four or five highhalls, gave a yawn, and interrogated, "What's the matter with Judge Terrell?" "Judge Terrell?" said the quilldriver present, "why, Judge Terrell was simply 'named wrong by his paterfamilias when he was born. He should have been named 'Diplomat Terrell.' Why, the Judge, when it comes to diplomacy, can give most of the experts at the game two kings and a joker and then win out, he's so smooth. The Judge is everybody's personal and most intimate friend—when he's with them, and when he's out of their sight can hand the same parties a few solar plexuses just to please the next party he meets up with. But he can do it so nicely that it never constitutes a breach of etiquette or a disarrangement of the laws of friendship. Why, don't you know that every one of R. R. HORNER, ATTORNEY.

Judge's alveolars (you'll have to go to Noah Webster for that word) is chucked full of diplomacy? The Judge cats diplomacy, breaths jt, and sleeps nestled up in it. And Tom Jones ain't no slouch in playing at diplomacy, either, let me promise you. Tom is pretty smooth, almost as smooth as the Judge, but not quite so efficient and proficient and impressive." Then some one, a yaller bud, member of the Mucilage Club, and high factotum in corrugated society, asked how about Armond Scott. "Oh, Armond." answered a Bruce supporter, "is the fellah—and he actually said 'fellah,' what put the 'di' in diplomacy, and maced the 'plom' out of diplomacy.

South Carolinians and Virginians, as a rule, are the guys that can make diplomacy run like greased lightening." It was a mighty interesting discussion, and I sure was sorry when I had to leave, 'cause I knew in a little while they would all land on somebody or somebodies and just give 'em hall Columbia, happy land. You know you can't get two or more charcoal-complexioned individuals together five minutes before they begin to use the derrick, the hammer, and the whole anvil outfit on their neighbors and acquaintances.

What's Armond done to ruffle the usually angelle disposition of Dick? I always thought they were sort of bon-bon buddies. ' ONE WITH GOD. No Discrimination With God—Rev. L. C.

May God bless the Southern delegates. 1811 West Belmont Circle, Nashville, Tenn.. July 23, 1915. Rev. Dr. L. C. Moore, 726 Fourth St. N. W.. Washington, D. C. My dear Sir: I am grateful to you for your kind words of approbation, though, frankly, I do not deserve them: God, who made all men brethren, could scarcely be pleased with any follower of Hls who took any less lofty stand than the one you so generously and graciously commend. In declaring my purpose to do all I can to extend Christian Endeavor to the negro churches of the South, and to personally help in all possible ways the intelligent and self-forgetting leaders of their race in the religious education of my colored neighbors, I think I represent the general and most representative sentiment of the unselfish white Christian ministry of the South of all churches. A way must be found in frank and fraternal conference of the biggest and broad-minded of both races. North and South, whereby the capable Southern white man may co-operate with the trained Southern negro in the salvation and moral and religious elevation of every negro child and youth. Christian Endeavor will help. Unless I mistake the temper of the thoughtful of both races of the South, they are agreed that the welfare of both races is involved, and that the politically careful nurtured scareface of "social equality" need no longer deter anybody from doing what he can for his providentially near neighbor. The growing race pride of the negro makes him as anxious to avoid the unnecessary prejudice and friction of the least appearance of unwelcome social intimacies, as it does to make his own home and social circle as refined and clean and wholesome as the best of any race. On this basis we can help each other in a thousand ways; and we Most truly yours. an independent property owner which? in payments on lots purchased at church designated by the purchaser he thinks about this offer.

SING SING'S WICKED MUST WEAR YELLOW Glaring Stripes to Punish All Refractory Inmates. Ossining, N. Y. - Prisoners in Sing Sing who offend against the rules of the Mutual Welfare league, the self rule organization of the inmates, will no longer go unpunished. Recently the league hold a meeting and arranged a system of colors whereby offenders will be disciplined. The basis of each punishment inflicted by the league will be suspension from the rights of the league, but that is not all. Offenders suspended for five days or more will have to wear a yellow circle about as big as an orange on their neat gray sport shirts over their hearts; if suspended for ten days or more the shirts will be decorated with a yellow stripe straight down the back; if suspended for twenty days or more the other adornments will be supplemented by a yellow stripe down the front of the left leg of the trousers and a similar stripe down the rear of the right leg. If the offense is so severe that the punishment for it is suspension from the league for, over thirty days the head of the offender will be shaved, and he will have to wear all the yellow decorations besides. "My boys thought of the idea themselves," said Thomas Mott Osborne, the warden, and I think it is fine. Their idea, of course, is that if a man offends against the rules he shows the yellow inside of himself. Therefore to punish him they have devised this scheme to show the yellow on his uniform." Furthermore if an offender is made to wear any of these yellow decorations he cannot indulge in plaited shirts, white collars and the like. He must wear the prison shirt, practically the same as a gray outing shirt. Two offenders have already been sentenced to the yellow. "They were found drunk," said Warden Osborne. "They said they had been drinking a mixture of alcohol, sugar and water, but you don't have to believe that if you don't want to. They were staged for ninety days each and will rescue all the yellow stripes there are and have their heads shaved as well. "The executive committee of the league is still considering the case of Daniel O'Day, who escaped a short time ago." BIRD HOUSE AT GRAVE. Chicago Woman Places it at Husband's Tomb Instead of Headstone Chicago. Near a shady nook in the Lake Forest cemetery, beside a large oak, stands a fountain. In the waters that tumble from its mouth a family of wrens play and sing. Suspended from the lower branch of the oak is a handsome bird house where the wrens live. On the bird house and the fountain is this inscription. "In Memory of Edward L. Hasler." Beside the font is the grave of Mr. Hasler, who was fatally hurt several weeks ago in Suburban Lanes, when his horse shied and threw him, Mrs. Hasler decided to deviate from the custom of placing a headstone at her husband's grave and instead built the bird house and the font.

Kinge 10.1-10. 12.—August 2. King Solomon's Renown—A Distinguished Visitor — Solomon's Great Engineering and Architectural Feats. His Literary Attainments—"The Half. Was Not Told"—"A Greater Than Solomon"—Riches of Divine Favor. "Wisdom is better than rubies."—Proof. 6.11. In answer to King Solomon's prayer for wisdom God gave him wisdom and riches that made him world-famous. By the middle of his reign King Solomon had accomplished marvels for his nation. Its fame spread to every land. He was known as the wise king, the peaceful king, the rich king. The visit of the Queen of Sheba to King Solomon was probably about the middle of his reign. She came, it is supposed, a journey of 1,500 miles, with quite a large retinue of servants and cannels and with valuable presents of gold and Arabian perfumes. Our lesson gives the queen's own statement of her object in coming to see King Solomon, and of how she found the facts to be more than double all the stories told respecting King Solomon's wisdom, riches and prosperity. The Wonders of Solomon. The Temple of the Lord, materials for which his father David had prepared years before, was one of the first marvels of King Solomon's reign. Then the king's palace and the corridor, or ascent which led from his house to the Temple, were marvelous for any time until the wonders of engineering and architecture brought forward during the past century, noted in the Bible as the period of God's preparation for Messiah's Kingdom.—Nahum 2:3. Another great engineering feat was called the Pools of Solomon—the system of water supply for Jerusalem. These pools were connected by covered aqueducts, the first known in histo- ry. Additionally, he builf fortresses throughout his kingdom, and extended its boundaries to the full limits set by the Lord long before. (Geneus 15:18.) Near Joppa (Jaffa), he had a harbor for ships, which is now cut off completely from the sea, and, having built fortresses throughout his kingdom, and extended its boundaries to the full limits set by the Lord long before. (Genesis 15:18.) Near Joppa (Jaffa), he had a harbor for ships, which is now cut off completely from the sea, and, having gradually filled up with earth, has become a beautiful orange grove. But his largest port of entry was at Tyre-not in his dominion. He did business through the king of Tyre; and unitedly their ships traversed the Red Sea, the Mediterranean, etc., bringing commerce from all parts of the world and affording facilities for importing goods not produced in Palestine. Thus he became so rich that figuratively it was said that the precious metals were as common as stones in Jerusalem. Although busked with these enterprises, King Solomon at heart was loyal to God; and his reign, by the time of the Queen of Sheba's visit, seems to have been wonderful. Later, satiated with the blessings of life, the king seems to have been less wise, less a man after God's own heart, and less thoughtful for his people. It is difficult, especially for the poor, to realize how great are the temptations of the rich and the danger that even a wise man may become foolish through the gratification of his every desire. Incidentally, we should not forget King Solomon's literary achievements. He wrote three thousand proverbs and a thousand songs. Surely the Lord did for him all that He had promised. It was this great King Solomon that the Queen of Sheba visited, with presents of gold and spices, desiring to learn to a certainty respecting his wonderful wisdom. She had questions to ask, probably respecting God and the future life; for apparently she recognized in King Solomon more than human wisdom, and accredited to him wisdom from on High. See Verses 8 and 9. "Solomon gave unto the queen all of her desire, whatsoever she asked; besides which, Solomon gave her of his royal bounty"—a present. "A Greater Than Solomon." Jesus remarked on this story, and marvelled that there were no more to appreciate Himself and His wonderful lessons respecting the Kingdom of God. (Matthew 12:42) For people to travel a long distance merely to know about the wisdom of God such as King Solomon possessed, would imply that if it were known that a still wiser One could be conferred with, He would be sought; and if it should be known that this wiser One was heir to the world and was seeking a Bride, how many might be expected to hasten to Him and accept the generous proposal? This is exactly the condition of things. God's Son, according to the Divine Program, is selecting a Bride class. The first opportunity to be of this elect company was given to Abraham's natural seed. Had they accepted their privileges, the Church would have been completed in Jesus' day. Nevertheless, a wonderfully large part of that little nation accepted Jesus. Then the door of this High Calling was thrown open to the Gentiles. Their unreadiness is indicated by the fact that it is required of them centuries to co-ordinate the elect number.

The colored republican representatives in this country should know where they stand now and what their status is in the councils of the party. If the colored voters are to ally themselves with the republican party they should know, at once what their status is. There are ten millions of colored citizens in the United States, who have no representation in our National Congress. There are over one hundred thousand citizens in the District of Columbia and there is not a representative position held by one of them. Now, let us reflect and ask the powers that be where does the colored voter stand and where will the colored voter stand in the republican party and what is his status in this government? He is given but little consideration in our local government. Conditions are so that he is not given a square deal on the police force. While the transfer of Judge Siddons from the commissionership was a promotion for him, it was a demotion for all worthy colored citizens. It is doubtful if there ever will be a man appointed Commissioner, of the District of Columbia who possesses the heart of a Siddons, either under the present administration or the coming republican administration. It is to be regretted that a government becomes so prejudiced that the citizens cannot obtain a square deal. A foreign war is threatening the nation, with thousands of colored Americans disfranchised, what can the government expect. Not being citizens of a republic how can the disfranchised affirm allegiance to it! These are grave questions to be considered. Take our local courts, notwithstanding the many positions that exist in these courts the colored citizen is given little if any consideration. Let the colored man know his status now. The Negro has no Pinchback, no Langton, no Douglass, no Hill or anybody else to properly plead his cause under this administration. The democratic administration has been in power a little more than two years and not an alleged Negro democrat has been given any recognition. President Wilson declared to a delegation of Colored men before he was elected that the colored man should have a square deal. But, every office that was held under a republican administration by a colored man has been filled by a white democrat. There remains one office left and that is held at present by a republican holdover, who has as much love for a Negro as a Southern Democrat. Several excuses have been made by the administration for not keeping faith with the alleged colored democrat. The last one is that a suitable colored democrat cannot be found. Certainly there have been some Bull Moors appointed, Socialists and other men with different political faith, why not appoint a competent colored man who has supported Mr. Wilson. The most recent candidate for this office is Mr. Richard Theodore Greener, a diplomat, scholar, lawyer and a politician, who has the entire state of Illinois behind him. He is no stranger to the people in this city. Here is a man with a national reputation, what excuse can the administration have now? It makes no difference to the better thinking people whether he is from this city or Africa, he would undoubtedly be an improvement on the individual holding on. Let us know now. HAITIAN HORRORS. Haiti is maintaining its record as a country of revolutionary horrors. The various overturns of government there constitute a grewsome history of massacre and assassination. The governor of Port au Prince has executed 160 political prisoners, a veritable massacre for which there can be no justification. His death followed at the hands of a mob after he had fled for protection to the Dominican legation. A reign of terror now prevails. The United States is not directly responsible, and yet must hold itself as accountable in a measure for the maintenance of order in Haiti. This is practically an impossible task under existing conditions in that republic, but a degree of supervision is maintained through the presence at Cape Haitien of an American cruiser. Whether this country will be compelled to intervene to check these inhuman performances is a question that cannot now be an answered. These Haitien outbreaks are an outrage upon civilization.—Evening Star, July 28th. Is that so? The Haitians are doing no more than other brutes in Europe are doing. Why doesn't the United States step into the butchers across the sea and tell them to stop? Only 160 Haitians butchered to over four millions of Europeans butchered. Isn't this a nice comparison? The Star would have the United States to jump upon the little black republic and crush it, but will not advise the United States to crush out Germany. Was there a more diabolical deed than the sinking of the Lusitania? Why doesn't our contemporary advise the United States to compel Germany to cease butchering and sinking by submarine innocent ships? Poor little old black Haiti is weighed in the balance and the United States and other countries are willing and ready to squeeze the life out of this little black republic. Does it occur to the Star that German butchery is "inhuman?" Let us reflect. AGAIN STRICKEN While basking in the shade at Colton Point, Md., and while the mother is observing the sunshine of the Western horizon, Assistant Superintendent Rosee C. Bruce was suddenly stricken with concussion of the brain, a relapse of the recent automobile accident. When the news of his sudden relapse reached this city no surprises or regrets went up for the injured assistant superintendent of schools. When conditions arise to such extent that one's sympathies leave him, when affliction causes no sorrow and when our wrongs to others react, it is about time to do some thinking. What a record Mr. Bruce could have made, what friends he could have gained, had his advisers led him to a path of right and justice to his fellow man. Today The Bee is of the opinion that he is the most despised man in the city. His experience has not taught him the lesson of retraction. He continues to go on and on to the road of impediment and blunders. That his usefulness is impaired both officially and physically, cannot be denied. Yet, The Bee sympathizes with him. He may have been indiscret and knowing that he continues to sail upon the waters of indiscretion. A few days ago the information came to The Bee that Mr. Bruce was at Colton Point, Md., suffering from a relapse of his recent automobile accident and that it was necessary to bring him to this city. He now lies upon his bed at home, surrounded by those who give comfort to his wants and ease to his suffering. Let's be charitable and pray for his speedy recovery. DEAN MOORE AT HOWARD. When the editor through the columns of this paper announced that Dean L. B. Moore had resigned his position at Howard University, he announced what he thought to be a fact based on a statement in the morning papers that Prof. Moore had joined the faculty of a university in New Orleans. As soon as he learned, however, from members of the Board of Trustees at Howard that Dean Moore's connections with the New Orleans university was only for the summer he corrected the error and thought that sufficient. But the anxiety felt by many in different sections of the country as shown by letters of inquiry to this office, leads the editor to state again that there is positively no foundation for the fear that the students of Howard or the Washington public will be deprived of Dean Moore's excellent services. The editor has talked with members of Trustee Board who assure him that no thought has ever arisen in their minds as to Dean Moore's resigning from Howard. His services are highly valued by all well-thinking people. He is the founder of the Teachers College, and has educated over 300 teachers who have gone all over the country. No man at Howard has made a greater contribution to Howard or has impressed himself more deeply upon the educational work of the country. His department is one of the most popular at Howard and is the only real teachers college for colored students in the country. Dean Moore would be an honor and credit to any university or community. So we say and say all who know him. SENATOR WEEKS The supporters of Senator Weeks put forth the following reasons why he should be nominated: Aside from his clean, political career, there are other reasons why Senator Weeks should be nominated: 1. He has more than ordinary political ability. 2. He is a thorough business man, understanding banking, and is up on manufacturing and tariff interests as well as internal development of the country. He is a naval reared man, a scholar and gentleman of high character and worth. One of New England's best. By virtue of our early development and our teachings and adherence to the doctrines of liberty and justice to all, we (the East) deserve proper recognition and Senator Weeks is broad enough to administer such control as to satisfy all sections. In his business capacities he possibly outranks all of the other candidates. THE NEGRO IN, BUSINESS. Segregation is good as well as bad. Segregation in business forces the colored people to support their own institutions, but segregation in the government is a violation of the Constitution of the United States. We have more drug stores conducted by colored men; we have more men in the clothing and dye business; we have more ice cream parlors; we have a bank which we didn't have heretofore; and we have more sense and should have more cooperation in business. A little segregation in the department stores and men's clothing stores will help the good work. Photographers are doing good business. Colored people have decided to have their pictures taken by those of their own race. 'The Negro in business is coming.' COMMITTEEMAN BROWN. Chapin Brown, Esq. National Republican Committeeman for the District of Columbia in his answer to the editor of the Philadelphia Ledger was noncommittal on the place for the next national republican convention. Mr. Brown is one of the level headed representative republicans in the United States and a man of great forsight. He is active and progressive in his ideas and the next convention will find him among the big party leaders assisting in the success of the party in 1916. Elsewhere will be seen his reply to the Philadelphia (Pa.) Ledger. BECKER MUST DIE There is sufficient doubt in the Becker case to have given him a new trial. A man convicted on the evidence of gamblers is no doubt setting a bad precedent. If it should turn out that Becker was framed up, what a disgrace it will be on the city of New York. RICHMOND EXPOSITION The so-called Richmond, Va.. Exposition was a fizzle. The white people got the best of the farer. The Bee has received a copy of The Citizen, a new magazine of 48 pages, published by the Citizen Publishing Company at Boston, Mass. Charles F. Lane is business manager, Oliver Ward, Bush, editor; the assistant editors are Wm. Staunley Braithwaite, George W. Ellis, Elizabeth Lordsay Davis, T. Montgomery Gregory and Miss Mary Talbert. The policy of the magazine seems to be race ascendency, and bids fair to be a great journalistic factor. The price of the magazine is $1.50 per annum. The Bee wishes the enterprise success. Negro Business League Notes. Plans and arrangements for the sixteenth annual session of the National Negro Business League to be held in Boston August 18, 19 and 20 are rapidly nearing completion.

In the evening the Cambridge Business League will hold a monster reception in the state Armory across the Harvard Bridge in honor of the officers, delegates and visitors to the National convention. His Honor, Mayor Timothy W. Good, will welcome the convention to Cambridge. The Publicity Committee of the Boston Business League has just issued an attractive, elaborately gotten up picture poster, 22x28 inches, advertising the coming of the Business League Convention to Boston in August. Pictures of historic buildings and monuments, such as Faneuil Hall. Crispus Attucks Memorial, and the famous Shaw Memorial by St. Gaudens, adorn the poster. Arthur W. Lavalle, the Negro printer of 973 Tremont street, Boston, printed the picture poster. Among the leading features that will characterize the social side of the "Big Convention" will be a trolley trip to historic points in and about ton and Bunker Hill. The trip will also include a visit to Harvard University, Boston Museum of Fine Arts, Boston Public Library, the famous Harvard Bridge expanding the Charles River, Longfellow Park, and Longfellow Home, Fanueil Hall, traditionally known as the "Cradle of Liberty," and numerous other places of great historic, educational and artistic value and interest. "The Citizens Committee" which is in charge of this delightful, educational trolley has arranged to have a reception and light refreshments for the officers delegates and visitors immediately following the return from the trolley side and a sight-seeing tour. MR. BUSHROD MICKEY DEAD. Prominent Citizen and Business Man of Louisa County, Va., Father of Mr. Harry Mickey, of Washington, D.C. Special to The Bee. Trevilians, Va., July 28, 1915—Mr. Bushrod Mickey died today after an illness of several weeks. Mr. Mickey was the most widely-known and prosperous citizen in Louisa county. Before the advent of the rural free delivery in the postal service Mr. Mickey was a star route contractor for the postoffice department. He was an extensive farmer, and gave employment to many members of the race. Two children survive Mr. Mickey, Mr. Harry Mickey, of Washington, D.C. and Mrs. W. T. Johnson of Richmond, Va., who were at his bedside when the end came, together with his grandsons, Bushrod and Harry Mickey. The passing of Mr. Mickey removes from life a gentleman from the old school who was benevolent, courteous and enjoyed the universal esteem of every class of citizen. CONGRESS HEIGHTS, MD. Montgomery Alabamians Entertained. Mrs. Susie Johnson Gowan, Mrs. Annie W. Doak, of Montgomery, Ala. Mrs. Alberta Person Taylor and Mrs. Nannie Hardaway Sagers, formerly of Montgomery, Ala., and Mrs. W. A. Leachman, of Washington, D. C., were entertained at dinner July 28, 1915, by Prof. and Mrs. James F. Armstrong of Falfont avenue. Falfont Heights, Md., The day was a delightful one. Mrs. W. S. Jones, Mrs. S. J. Trotter, Master Jas. Armstrong, Mrs. Addie B. Mullins, Mrs. Rosa Dawson and Miss Mae F. Turner joined the parly late in the afternoon. After dinner the party engaged in popular amusements of various kinds. Meanwhile all the old school days and friends were brought back and reviewed.

Lawrence is a candidate for election to membership on the State Central Committee of the republican party. He has proven himself worthy of the confidence and support of all the voters in Prince George county. Let every republican come to the front and show his appreciation by casting his vote for Hon. Virgil M. Lawrence. Rev, J. F. Chestnut, of Washington, D. C., preached an instructive and intellectual sermon at the Fairmont Md., church July 17, 1915. Rev, E. A. Love, the pastor, preached at Croom, Md., on the same day. Mr. and Mrs. Charles E. Payne have an excellent fruit crop this year. O'Donald T. Armstrong, the second son of Supervisor James F. Armstrong, left for Christianburg, Va., where he will enter upon his wish as a student in Prof. E. A. Long's school. All persons not normal school graduates are hereby notified to be present at Upper Marlboro Tuesday and Wednesday, July 3 and 4, 1915. As a result of the examination and from those who are normal school graduates an eligible register will be made from which names will be certified for appointments when vacancies occur. Persons, many of whom are parents, seem to think that the primary object of the public school is to furnish jobs or increase in pay. Schools are organized for the benefit of the children, and they should be so conducted as to bring the greatest amount of good to the pupil and not so as to give a higher salary salary to teachers without a corresponding benefit to the pupil. It is stated that the sooner the school authorities are permitted to regulate the work in the schools, the sooner many underpaid teachers will receive an increase, provided only the teacher does his or her work. When the management of the schools is influenced by anything other than the best interest of the child—not the teacher—the better it will be for all. Faithful service and loyalty to the system alone can bring that increased salary. ALEXANDRIA NEWS. The first public meeting of the Woman's Home Missionary Society of Roberts Chapel, M. E.

Mudd, another Confederate veteran of Hyatttsville, Md., tells the story as follows: "I have just seen mention of the death in Fulton of John W. Davis. He was a member of the grand company of brave boys commanded by Captain D. H. Meintyre, afterward attorney general of Missouri—Company A, Burbridge's regiment. Ours was Company B, and we stood side by side in battle. Comrade Davis was just my age. "At Wilson's Creek, nearly fifty-four years ago, I saw him shot, so badly hurt that the surgeon wrote 'mortally wounded' after his name."

Hot Rolls and Bread on Sunday THE BOTTOM CLUB Its Fourth Annual Outing to Annapolis, Md.—Music and. Speeches—President Dade the Pioneer—Brilliant Speeches, Music, and a Well Prepared Repast. The fourth annual outing of the celebrated Bottom Club took place last Sunday morning. The Bottom Club is composed of some of the most substantial citizens in the city and their outing are always attended with many brilliant and enjoyable events. Moses H. Dade, president; Albert Dade, recording secretary; James M. Jackson, vice president; George W. Jackson, toastmaster; Dr. S. G. Holmes, grand lecturer; Dr. Phil Brown Brooks, medical director; Sololman Dade, general manager; W. Calvin Chase, editor; Dr. R. L. Peyton, dentist; John S. Lee, musician. The Club left the station Sunday morning at 9.30 A. M. in a special chartered car, headed by the monumental full orchestra, Prof. Charles Hamilton leader. The guests were: Messrs. C. Howard, John D. Fossett, Clarence Gordon, James Miller, Charles Idelle, Henry Hall, Pierce, J. R. Hall, Cornellus Syphaz, Charles Minkins and brother, John T. Rhine, Molard, John Keyes, A. L. Mitchell, Edward Taylor, Clarence Drew, Wm. Proctor, Roy Deny, Edward E. Mathews, Wm. L. Lawson, Taylor, James Huckney, Mr. Cornish, Augustus Lee. The company arrived at Adams' retreat, railroad time, where liquid refreshments flowed a la Bryan— J. DR. PHIL BROOM BROOKS, Medical Director of the Bottom Club—Popular and Progressive grape juice, lemonade and Bryan high balls. Annapolis is a local option town, and the proclamation of President Dade was issued before and after the arrival of the Bottom Club, that the local option law should in no wise be violated. It was proclaimed by President Dade that the celebrated Hami'ton Orchestra should confine itself to sacred music. This was carried out without a protest. After the arrival of the Club at the great and memorable resort host Adams had everything in readiness. The dinner consisted of every vegetable in the market, ten kinds of meat, including assorted fish—the best that swim, fruits of all kinds, and speeches in abundance as follows: Set Chilly! To our guest—May our friendship, like wine, grow ripe and mellow with age. To our president, Moses H. Dade—Not like Taft—he had come-back stuff. To our vice-president, James M. Jackson—If you want to bring your trunk back home—see him. To our recording secretary, Albert Dade—Like the diamonds he sells—he always shines. To our toastmaster, George W. Jackson—In the time of peace he is preparing for war. To our treasurer, Rufus Dade—If you want a bracer in the morning—tell it to him. To our grand lecturer, Dr. S. G. Holmes—If it hadn't been for FLIP he would have been a wealthy man. To our medical director, Dr. P. B. Brooks—Cuts as fine with a rifle as with his surgeon's knife. To our general manager, Solomon Dade—If you haven't got time don't start to argue. To our editor, W. Calvin Chase—If you don't come clean—you will be stung by the BEE. To our dentist, Dr. R. L. Peyton—Your name is FLIP—but Oh! you "Joe Wallace." To our musician, John S. Lee—Noted for Home winning in the South, but afraid to keep them. To our host, Al Adams—May it always be like it has always been: Congeniality of Adams will always win. To our bartenders, Proctor, Howard, and Mathews—Belong to a linings trust; they sell you plenty of whiskey, so your system will never rust. To our orchestra, The Famous—They play well, and never play alone; if the leader is late Reeder will go home! President Dade opened the event in the absence of a parson. He admonished the gusts to be like they have always been. He discussed the Costitution of the United States and concluded by offering a prayer for those who were instrumental in his victorious march back to 1212 Pennsylvania avenue. His address was full of wit and humor, and he concluded by introducing the learned toastmaster, Mr. George W. Jackson, who has been active in such events from the time the memory of man runneth not to the contrary. Toastmaster Jackson, with his usual wit, eloquence, and logic, defined his duties and informed other speakers what their duties were and what was expected of them. Everybody on the program spoke. Everything was discussed, from the Constitution of the United States to the the European war. Dr. Phil Brooks discussed man and his makeup and concluded by teaching what man could do with a gun. Dr. Brooks is an expert marksman. He is Washington's greatest. He knows medicine and man as well as he knows a bird's eye with a buckshot fifty feet away. Dr. Brooks is congenial company. He is life wherever he goes. Dr. S. G. Holmes was a welcome guest. His talk was full of humor. His advice to the total abstainer was good, but none were inclined to follow it. James M. Jackson, the prince of good fellows, was full of life. He knows what to say and how to say it Rufus Dade will smile when things go right, but if he is crossed he would just as leave bite a ten-penny nail in two parts. Al Adams has seen many events. He makes his life happy and enjoyable. The Bottom Club is a great social organization, and its annual outing last Sunday was an event that will be long remembered. Those who failed to attend lost an opportunity that will hardly come again until next year. President Dade and his supporters deserve great credit for the successful return to Washington. Al Adams, of Adams Park, is to be complimented. The program was unique. A photo of each speaker was represented. Long live the Bottom Club! On a Vacation. Mr. Arthur James, of the firm of the well known James Brothers, the best known and one of the most up-to-date firms in the city, has gone on a two weeks' vacation to New York, Philadelphia, and Atlantic City, N. J. Mr. James is one of the most genial and entertaining persons that one would desire to meet. He will associate some business with pleasure. The business of the firm is now being managed by the stalwart and handsome director, Mr. Jean James.

Diamond Fields Form Treasure House and Big Quantities of Precious "Stones of Fire" Still Lie In Sands of Namib-Copper and Copper Ores In Increasing Quantities. Cape Town, South Africa.—Much speculation has been indulged in as to the value as a possession of the immense territory of German southwest Africa, wrested by the Union of South Africa forces, under General Botha, from the Germans, who had occupied it since May, 1883. Six times the size of England, being about 322,450 square miles in area and including Ovamboland, Damaraland and Great Namaqualand and sparsely populated, it has been described as a wilderness, with a fertile tract only here and there. A South African authorised recently in the Cape Times its dominant physical features as follows: "A slowly rising, sandy coast belt; a high interior plateau, broken by isolated mountain ranges and stony kojes, and a gently falling eastern strip of sandy country which merges in the level expanse of the Kelabari desert. The average height of the uplands is about 5,000 feet. The climate on the whole is healthful and eminently suited for Europeans, though material level is prevalent in the subtropical north. Before the war it supported a white population of 14,830 people, with some 250,000 natives." The territory's three great natural sources of wealth are minerals, pasture land and agricultural land. Says the authority above quoted. "The mineral wealth has been the most considerable source of prosperity since 1908, and it is certain to be an ```markdown ``` GENERAL BOTHA. important factor in the future development of the country. The diamond fields form a rich treasure house, and immense quantities of the precious stones of the still lie in the sands of the Namib. The fields extend from Conception bay (100 miles south of Swakopmund) to Angras Juntas, a distance of about 200 miles, but they are intersected in many places by hills and ridges and tracts of worthless sand. The various producing companies, the great majority of which are German, hold a fifty-years' lease from the German Colonial company, and together before the war broke out they employed about 5,000 natives and colored men. From 1908 to the end of 1913 gems to the value of $35,522,000 had been recovered. "How long will these fields last? The experts differ, as owing to the vast extent of the country over which the diamondiferous gravel is scattered and the varying depths of the deposits it is extremely difficult to estimate the life of the fields. The period has been variously put at eight, fifteen and twenty years. New deposits may be discovered, although extensive prospecting operations have not resulted in any finds for some time. Volcanic "pipes" containing the well known Kimberlite have been found in the Globeon, Bethany and Keetmanshoop districts, but careful tests have shown them to be barren of diamonds." Next to the diamond fields the copper mines rank in importance. The value of the copper exported in 1913 was $1,982,180. In the opinion of experts there is no doubt that the country will supply copper and copper ores in increasing quantities for many years to come. Prospecting work has been done in connection with gold, tin, iron, lead, sulphur, etc., but the results have been somewhat disappointing, although immense deposits of iron and tin ores are known to exist. A seam of coal has been found, and the Germans had begun to exploit immense layers of white and colored marble of excellent quality. The second source of wealth in the territory is the capture land. Dr William Macdonald, the South African agricultural expert, who visited the colony a couple of years ago, described it as a land of enormous agricultural possibilities, destined to become one of the finest ranch counties in the world. Lansing and "Ham" Lewis Lawyers In Old Suit. WAS NAMED AFTER SENATOR It Turned Out to Be Poacher, Russia Captured It, and Owners Became Indignant—Now, After Twenty-three Years, Lansing Must Adjust Case and Senator Pass on His Action. Washington.—Senator James Hamilton Lewis of Illinois has a fishing smack named for him, and that fishing smack is at present the cause of international complications between this country and Russia. Furthermore, Secretary of State Robert Lansing has much more to do with the unraveling of that fishing smack disturbance than the ordinary reader would suspect, and the whole story is being told in Washington corridors these days. The story goes that in the years of 1894, 1895 and 1896 "Jim Ham" Lewis M. B. ROBERT LANSING (TOP) AND JAMES HAMILTON LEWIS. was a struggling lawyer in the city of Seattle, Wash. He had gone there from the south to make his fame and fortune. About the same time a little fleet of fishing smacks began to get in trouble in the north Pacific waters. The boats plied up and down the British and Russian coasts along Bering strait, and they poached in Russian and British territory and were straightway seized by naval vessels of those countries. The owners retained Lewis as attorney, and he fought all through the various tribunals all the way to the supreme court of the United States, where a victory was gained in a test case for the owners of the ship Coquitlani, the lower courts all being reversed. Then the British owners of interest in these vessels made claim for all their expenses and damages before the British-American claims commission, which was established to hear controversies between the two countries. Robert Lansing, then almost unknown to fame, appeared as counsel with Lewis. Lansing represented the larger interest and Lewis the smaller. They were successful, and as the result of the victory achieved the clients of Lewis changed the name of one of the snacks to the James Hamilton Lewis, out of compliment to their counsel. Then the James Hamilton Lewis began to be one of the liveliest little seal poachers in the Pacific and was consequently picked up by the Russian government. The owners made an indignant protest, and the case has been pending between the United States and Russia ever since. Now the secretary of state, who must adjust the treaty of this subject with Russia, is Robert Lansing, who was chief counsel for the United States end of the controversy before the claims tribunal. James Hamilton Lewis is one of the United States senators who must pass on the question of whether or not Lansing's work shall be ratified. The cases started twenty-three years ago. The two men involved have reached eminent places in the world, while their client's case is still in court, and the controversies between Russia, England and the United States on the general fishing and sealing question are still unsettled and are matters of irritation.

Chicago, Ill., July 26, 1915.—The return of Prof. Richard T. Greener from an extended trip in the East, which included attending commencement at Andover Academy in Massachusetts and a visit to Washington, ostensibly to renew old acquaintances, has brought to light the fact that while in the East Prof. Greener received most influential tenders of support for appointment as Recorder of Deeds of the District of Columbia. It also develops that Prof. Greener has the cordial support and endorsement of Senator Lewis, and that the remnants of the negroes who supported Wilson in 1912 are behind him. [Illustration of a man with a beard and mustache, wearing a suit and a hat.] It will be recalled that Professor Greener himself was an ardent Wilson man both prior to the Baltimore convention and during the Presidential canvass. It is stated in Chicago by presumably a responsible person who knows what is going on in the realm of patronage, that President Wilson is going to fill the vacancy in the Recordership by the appointment of a colored man as soon as Congress assembles in December, or in extra session; that the President made up his mind to this early in June, but did not carry out his purpose because he did not care to make a recess appointment to a vacancy which occurred during the session of Congress, there being some dispute as to the legality of appointments made under such conditions; and that after looking over the entire field, the President has reached the conclusion that in learning, character, experience, and national influence, Professor Greener is the man who in the office of Recorder of Deeds will bulk largest in the negro imagination next year when the quest will be for votes. In exports of domestic products, in aggregate value of foreign trade, and in favorable balance of trade, the United States made a new high record in the fiscal year ended June 30, 1915. Figures made public by the Department of Commerce to-day show that imports and exports combined totaled $4,442,864,272, an increase of $184,000,000 over 1914 and of $164,000,000 over 1913, the prior high record year in total trade. Exports in 1915 totaled $2,768,643,532, an increase of $404,000,000 over 1914 and of $303,000,000 over 1913. Imports aggregated $1,674,220,740, a decrease of $219,700,000 from last year's total and $138,800,000 from that of 1913. The excess of exports over imports for the year 1915 was $1,094,422.792, which sum exceeded by $623.800,000 the export balance for 1914. June, 1915, exports were $268,601.599 and exceeded by $111,530,000 the total for June last year. June imports were $157,746,140, or less by $216,690 than those for June, 1914. but $26,500,000 more than those for June, 1913. Of the June, 1915, imports 62.94 per cent entered free of duty, compared with 59.32 per cent for June, 1914, and 50.88 per cent for June, 1913. Of the year's imports 61.73 per cent were duty free; in 1914, 59.43 per cent. The year's gold movements included imports, $171,563,755; exports, $146,224,148. In 1914 the figures were imports, $66,538,659; exports, $112,033,529. The month of June 1915, reversed the conditions slow; in June last year, June gold imports having been $72,110,000.

New York.—When John Florelle was arraigned in the Flatbush court, Brooklyn, charged with playing a hand organ in the streets at a too early hour, and was fined $2. he said he did not have the money. He was sent to a cell with his trained monkey, "Jocko." Later Florelle sent out word that his fine would be paid. When the organ grinder and the monkey were brought out, "Jocko" hopped on to a chair and handed up a two dollar bill to the clerk. "Where did he get this money?" asked the court. "Who, Jocko?" returned Florelle. "Oh, 'Jocko.' he carry his own roll, boss. I pay him back some time." NEW DEPARTMENT STORE.

Necessity of Knowledge of the Divine Character—Justice the Foundation Principle—How Love Fulfills the Law. Proper Balancing of Character Necessary to Joint-Heirship With Christ Hamilton, Ont. July 25. - Pastor Russell is here to day We report his discourse based upon the text, "God hath not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind." (2 Timo thy 1.7.) The Pastor spoke us follows: PASTOR RUSSELL Bible students have learned not to think of the different spirits mentioned in our text as different persons. When, for instance, an evil spirit or disposition is mentioned, we do not think of it as a person; and when a holy spirit or disposition is mentioned, we do not think of it as a person. A holy person has a holy spirit or disposition. The Holy Spirit proceed from God. It is His spirit. It comes to us through the Truth; it is not another person, another God. (I Corinthians 5, 6.) Likewise the spirit of fear is not a devil, a spirit being; and the spirit of a sound mind is not a God, nor an angel. Gradually we are getting the right focus on these matters, to see that God is a Spirit; and that as a Spirit He has an influence—just as a human being has an influence. That influence is according to the character, according to the strength, according to the power to exert one's self. Some have a power of evil-doing by which they could vanquish a hundred or a thousand; in one sense of the word they have a strong spirit. Others have a spirit of bitterness, and can stir up evil in others. Still others have a spirit of kindness, gentleness and love. But by nature we are all members of a fallen race; for we have many of the qualities that belong to the wrong spirit. When the disciples came to Jesus after the Samaritans had refused to sell them food, they said, "Lord, wilt Thou that we call down fire from heaven to destroy them and their city?" Jesus replied, "Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of." You should not have such a disposition. The fact that they have ignored Me is an insignificant matter. If you desire to have My spirit, you must get rid of that disposition to render evil for evil, to do harm to others. Our Lord was not talking about the Holy Spirit as a person, but as an influence. The Bible shows us that God, who is a Spirit Being, is not vindictive, but merciful, loving and just. Therefore He is a good Spirit, a Holy Spirit. God's disposition is a holy disposition; He is not disposed to do anything wrong or unjust or unkind. All who receive His Holy Spirit receive the spirit of a sound mind, of justice, of gentleness. And so the Apostle, in speaking about this matter, says that the Holy Spirit is manifest—can be seen—in those who possess it. Spirit of the Father and of the Son. St. Paul does not mean that we shall see another being get into a man, as once we believed, that the Holy Spirit, as a God, divided Himself up and entered into millions of people. Those who have the idea that God can be divided amount of millions of people are very much confused in their minds. Whoever receives the mind of Christ, the spirit of Christ, receives the spirit of holiness. Our Lord Jesus gave up His own will to do the Father's will. Just in proportion as we give up our own fallen disposition and take instead God's way of thinking, God's way of viewing matters. God's Spirit of Love, to that same extent ours is a holy spirit, to that extent we have received the Holy Spirit. All the human family are fallen; and when God received us into His family through Christ It was with a view to begetting us of the Holy Spirit to a newness of nature. This start of the new nature leads us to view every subject from God's standpoint, to say to ourselves, "Is this the mind of God on this subject? I will study the Scriptures and do what God has said on this matter. When I came into the family of God I agreed to give up my own will altogether, just as the Master did." No matter how good our Lord's will was, He gave it up in order to do the Father's will. "Not My will, but Thine be done." "Lo, I come in the volume of the Book I is written of Me to do Thy will. O God." (Hebrews 10:7) The Father had a certain Plan marked out. The Son as an intelligent being would have thoughts of His own; but He surrendered all His own plans and thoughts in order that He might do the Father's will. The Father was pleased with this course; and as a result when our Lord Jesus gave up His own will He came right into line with God's providences. He was successful in His work because He was obedient to the Father. - Phillipsians 2:3, 9. The Church Accepted in the Beloved. The invitation of the Gospel Age is an invitation to do the same thing that Jesus did. The Master said, "If any man will come after Me [be My disciple, My follower], let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow Me" (Matthew 16:24). To deny himself is to give up his own will. Whoever has given up his will has given his all to the Lord. As the Apostle says, we present our bodies a living sacrifice. (Ro mans 12:1.) We give up our wills entirely; our Lord Jesus accepts us and presents us to the Father. But before He can do this, He must impute to us of His righteousness; for by nature we are imperfect through the fall, and the Father will accept nothing that is imperfect. As our Lord said, "No man cometh unto the Father but by Me." Again He said, "Him that cometh unto Me I will in no wise cast out."—John 14:6; 6:37. After we have given ourselves through the Lord Jesus Christ, He imputes the merit of His sacrifice to us in such form that the Father can receive us as His children, and start in us the beginning of a new nature—a new creation. When we get a proper view of this transaction, we shall not think that we must repeatedly give ourselves to God. We shall be concerned about living up to the contract which we have made, and which God has accepted and sealed with His Holy Spirit. This seal is the earnest of our inheritance; it blinds the contract which we made when we gave ourselves to God in consecration. (2 Corinthians 121, 221) We have signed a contract giving our all to Hlut; we have received the earnest, the hand payment; and through the coming days we are to giving ourselves without cessation with the Lord's will. in Grace and Knowledge. we should search the Word of that we may understand the Dl- vessage and get the Spirit of the nth. We must see what is the real meaning of the Bible, so that God may be greatly pleased with us, as He sees how earnestly we are trying to do His will in everything. Thus His Spirit will grow in us. More and more we may be it all with the Holy Spirit. It is a Spirit of meekness, gentleness, long-suffering, patient endurance, and love; it is the Holy Spirit of God; and the more we love of its fruits, the more we shall have of the Spirit Itself. But we cannot have these fruits, developed from the teachings of God’s Word, unless we have the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of God, the Spirit of Christ, influencing all our acts, words and thoughts. -Gustafson 5.22.23 When first we entered the School of Christ, we were babies and acted like babies. But the Apostle says that we are not to remain babies. We are to put away childish things, to be no longer children tossed about by every wind of doctrine. As babies we were fed upon "the sincere milk of the Word," that we might grow thereby (1 Peter 2:2). But as grown men we no longer desire milk as a steady diet, although we enjoy a glass of milk or casionally. (Hebrews 5:12-14.) We prefer to come to our Father's table the table of the Lord, and receive the Truth—the strong meat that belongs to such as are of full age, the meat that will make us strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. The Holy Spirit is not a spirit of excitement. We have known people to be filled with the spirit of excitement who did not seem to have the Holy Spirit at all. If we have the Holy Spirit, it will manifest itself in meekness, gentleness, patience, brotherly kindness, love. What God has been doing for His people during the past forty years is wonderful. To every one of them the Bible has become a new Book. More and more the old things are passing away. It was not sufficient that we should have the Savior and should believe in Him. That knowledge was only the beginning of our blessings. We still rejoice greatly, to know that our sins have been forgiven. We still have the milk of the Word, assuring us of the merit of our dear Redeemer's sacrifice. But we are not living on a milk diet now. We need something stronger than the knowledge that our sins are forgiven. This is far from the end of the knowledge bestowed upon the people of God. Growing in grace and in knowledge, we are learning more and more to see what the Divine will is and what the Holy Spirit is. Things which once we thought very consistent and reasonble are now very inconsistent to us. As we receive more of the spirit of a sound mind, we see how foolish were many of the things which once we believed. There is new light coming into our mind—appreciation of the lengths, breadths, heights and depths of the Love of God, which passes all understanding. Whoever comes into relationship with God receives a begetting of love; for God is Love. Love worketh no injury to his neighbor. Therefore the Apostle says, "Love is the fulfilling of the Law." God's Law is a Law of Justice; and, as the Scriptures set forth, whoever receives the Spirit of the Lord, the Spirit of Love, will at least tender justice to others. No law requires more than justice. Whatever we do more than justice is that much of sacrifice on our part. But we cannot do all that we would like to do; for in our flesh dwells no perfection. Now can we live up to the full Law of God. But we can see to it that our will is to do nothing less than justice; and that if in anything we come short of justice, it in anything we have infracted the Gold on Rule, it has been contrary to our minds. Then we shall not rest durnt we have made right the wrong act word or look—whatever was an infraction of the right of others. Should some one say, "This is a hard sale," we reply, "You will never be ready for the Kingdom unless you have the right spirit, my dear brother." This principle of justice, which is the foundation of God's Throne, is the foundation of His character. To do to others what we would have them do to us is the right thing to do—justice. If we cannot do justice in every act, we can at least do it in our minds. "With my mind I serve the Law of God," said the Apostle, even if he could not on every occasion do it in every act and word. Whenever we find that we have violated justice, repentance is the proper step; and every true repentance means an acknowledgment of the wrong to the one who has been wronged. To be sure this course is very humiliating. But such experiences are the best things that we can possibly have; for by these we develop humility, which in turn will help us to meekness and gentleness. Thus in the Divine arrangement the people of God are learning helpful lessons, that give them more and more of the spirit of a sound mind. They can think better than for merely they did; they are able to build themselves up. As they find that this or that quality of character is weak and imperfect in their natural disposition, they learn to level up their whole disposition in harmony with the spirit of justice. This work going on in their hearts is making them fit for the Kingdom. 2 Peter 1:5-11 God is calling a very special class for joint-heirship with our Lord Jesus Christ. These must be very loyal to the Lord, very just in their appreciation of the rights of others, in order to be accounted worthy. The Father sees that our bodies are very imperfect; but He promises that if He finds our heads and our hearts right, He will give us in the resurrection a right body, a glorious body. Then, with right heads, fully committed to those principles of righteousness which represent the Divine character, the Holy Spirit of God, we shall be in the condition in which He will be able to use us. The new body will not make the character, but will be merely the agency through which the character will demonstrate itself. If we do not develop the character now, the moral character of our Lord Jesus Christ, we shall not receive a place in the Messianic Kingdom. All that are there will be fit for their position. God has taken long enough to find this class. He will not make any mistake. Every one who has developed Love Divine has had just such experiences as you and I have had—experiences along the line of justice and righteousness. The two are similar; for righteousness is justice, and justice is righteousness. But it is not the Divine will that we should have Justice merely; to be like God we must also have sympathy, have a kind feeling toward others. God has that kindly feeling for His creatures. Away back in the beginning, knowing about His Plan for the creation of Father Adam, and knowing about our sils as they would come upon us because of Adam's disobedience. He made provision for our redemption, for the restitution of the world, and for the call of the Church. All this is beyond the requirements of Justice. God could not do less than justice to every member of the human family. Just as surely as He calls upon you and me to deal according to the Golden Rule, so He does all things according to the principles of justice. Justice is the foundation of God's Throne. The whole superstructure of His Kingdom is built upon Justice. He will not do less than Justice, and this is what He requires of every creature. Nothing less than absolute Justice will be permitted. But the great text now upon the Church is more than this—that we should have the love which will lay down life itself for the brethren. While God demands nothing more than justice, yet if we do not render more than Justice, we cannot reign in the Kingdom. The Father is seeking those who have the spirit of love—those who are kind, loving, for giving, helpful. He desires them to have His Spirit The Christian knows that all things work together, for good to them that love God. This knowledge is to him a spirit of power, of strength. Circumstances and conditions which would overwhelm others would be what he would expect to have. But the child of God is courageous, knowing that his Heavenly Father will not permit any things to come to him that will not be for his good. In proportion as he receives the spirit of a sound mind, the Spirit of the Lord, and in proportion as the Holy Spirit works in him, he will become more and more like our Lord; and this spirit will enable him to have more and more compassion on those who are out of the way. It will give him broader views of life, and more general views of mankind; and as God sent His Son, and as the Son came and did things for the good of man at His own expense, so all who have His spirit will strive to bless mankind. The spirit of a sound mind broadens and deepens the character along all its good lines. It helps its possessor not only to take more correct views of his own disposition, but to be more sympathetic toward others. As he realizes more and more the impairment of his own mind and body and his own need of mercy and helpful correction, he recognizes the similar derangement of the whole world of mankind and the general need of sympathy and assistance. As he learns to rectify the deficiencies and inequalities of his own mind, he sympathizes more and more with those who are without this regulating principle, this spirit of power, of love and of a sound mind. Thus he gradually becomes more patient, more sympathetic, more generous, more loving—more like the Redeemer, who is God like. --- Serman Captain Spares Boats For Englishman's Bravery. London.How the rescue of a dog touched the heart of a German submarine commander has been revealed by the National Canine Defense league. The league has decided to award Captain Robinson a silver medal for brave conduct in saving his wife's dog. Robinson was in charge of a British vessel, which, ignoring the signal to take to the boats, was shelled and chased by a German submarine. The steering gear was destroyed and the ship compelled to stop. The captain gave Betty, a Pomeranian, to the second officer to put into a boat, but in passing the dog down one of the crew dropped her into the water. When Robinson entered the boat Betty could be seen swimming toward the submarine. Without hesitation the captain jumped into the water and swam about a quarter mile, caught the dog and put her on his shoulder. As the submarine had drawn up to him, the captain laid hold of her in order to recover his breath. The German commander said, in imperfect English, "I made up my mind to blow up your boats because you did not stop your ship, but will not for your saving, the little dog." Consequently, thirty-eight lives were saved through the rescue of the dog. TREND OF OCEAN CURRENTS. Japanese Government Has Thrown 2,000 Bottles Overboard. Seattle, Wash.-In an effort to determine the flow of currents in the Pacific ocean the Japanese government has thrown 2,000 bottles overboard in a large area south and east of Japan. The first was dropped on May 30 and the last on June 30. Each bottle contained a request in eleven languages that it be returned to the Imperial Fisheries institute at Tokyo with exact information as to the time and place it is picked up. According to local mariners, many of these bottles will get into Puget sound and some into the gulf of Lower California. In recent years large quantities of wood, both trees and lumber, from Jalapin, Siberia and the Philippines have been picked up on Puget sound shores. It is believed by many seafaring men that the current from off the Jalapin and China coast returns to the orient after a great, circuit through the Pacific as far south as the Hawaiian group. A substantial reward is offered to the tinder of each bottle New York.--That the European war has proved a severe blow industrially to the Canary Islands was the statement made by Homer Brett, United States consul at Tenerife. Mr. Brett, who has been transferred to La Guaira, Venezuela, was a visitor at the branch office of the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce in the custom house. "The war," said the consul, "has forced a great interest in the Canaries in everything American. Previous to the outbreak of hostilities the islanders bought practically all of their flour from England. most of the commodity being shipped from Liverpool. Now they have turned to the United States for this bread-stuff, and increasing quantities are being received there. At present only American automobiles are being imported, and the natives speak highly of the makes already introduced. "Up to the beginning of the war the Canary islands had an annual export trade of 7,000,000 crates of bananas, 5,000,000 boxes of tomatoes, 1,000,000 boxes of potatoes and 400,000 crates of onions. A large part of this trade went to southwestern Europe, but the war has placed a blight on all this business. Before the war the islanders depended upon the Scandinavian countries for all of the crate material used in packing the fruit and vegetable products. This wood is no longer available to any extent, and inquiries are now being made in the United States for shooks. The packers must have this material and are looking to this country to come to their aid. "Another serious handicap in the islands is the shortage of fertilizers. Up to the start of the war the bulk of fertilizer was imported from Antwerp, and a lesser quantity from London. This was principally Chilean nitrate. This trade has, of course, been greatly upset, and when I left Tenerife they were negotiating with American firms for needed supplies. There is also a serious shortage in coal and cement. The Canaries are an annual market for 1,000,000 tons of coal, practically all of which before the war was supplied from Newcastle." Deer Wrecks Hat Window. New London, Conn.—A buck deer appeared in New London, and after doing much damage was killed. He jumped through a window if a millinery-store and proceeded to wreck it. Two policemen and Eugene McCann, manager for Commodore sloron P. Plant's baseball team, followed it and attempted to "shoo" it out. Instead of being "shooed," the deer showed fight, and all three men were injured before it was killed.

Washington.—The aid of women has been infoked by the Navy league to assist in the organization's campaign to convince the country of the advantage of stronger national defenses, it was announced here. All women's patriotic organizations have been invited to co-operate with the Navy league. It is said that many pledges of aid have been already received. A vigorous campaign will be carried on through the summer and fall to obtain pledges of women to give their personal efforts to this program. It is hoped to have 100,000 pledges to "talk, think and work" patriotism, Americanism and adequate defense before congress meets next December. A feature of the work of the women's section of the league, as it has been named, will be a series of patriotic pageants for the purpose of depicting the necessity of national defenses. A prize competition for pageant scenarios has been planned in which the judges will be David Belasco, Colonel George Harvey, Mrs. William C. Story, president-general of the Daughters of the American Revolution, and Mrs. Daisy McLaurin Stevens, president general of the United Daughters of the Confederacy. Among the founders of the women's section are Mrs. George Dewey, Mrs. Medill McCormick, Mrs. Finley J. Shepard, Mrs. George L. Carnegie, Mrs. Phoebe A. Hearst, Mrs. Ralph B. Strassburger, Mrs. Moncure Robinson, Miss Christine Biddle, Mrs. James H. Aldrich, Mrs. Charles H. Baldwin, Miss Marianne Biddle, Mrs. William W. Blackmar, Miss Mabel Boardman, Mrs. Willard H.

Washington.—Exports of American agricultural implements during the fiscal year 1915 totaled approximately $10,000,000 as against $10,600,000 in the high record year, 1913; $21,000,000 in 1903 and a yearly average of more than $23,000,000 for the last decade. This loss of trade fell most heavily upon sales to Europe, but there were also smaller though insignificant decreases in shipments to Argentina, Canada and various countries of Africa and other sections of the world. Cuba and Siberia made gains. Australia hereby held its own in the year's trade, but this is a good showing in view of the fact that her wheat crop dropped from more than 100,000,000 bushels in 1913 to 25,000,000 bushels last year. The European war was doubtless the dominant factor in the great falling off in exports of agricultural implements, since the decrease in sales to Europe was disproportionate to that in sales to other sections. Thus exports of agricultural implements to European Russia, usually the greatest of foreign markets for this class of American manufactures, practically ceased, as did also those to Germany, while huge losses likewise occurred in sales to France and other European countries. Another contributory factor was* the recent establishment of great plants in Russia and France. Information reaching the department of commerce, however, indicates a growing use of machinery on farms both in Europe and elsewhere, a tendency which will doubtless be even more pronounced upon the resumption of peace, since the devastation of war is causing a marked shortage in human and animal labor, necessitating proportionately more machinery for the successful conduct of farming. Russia, for example, possesses one-seventh of the entire area of the world and an even larger proportion of the land devoted to cereal crops, which require for their cultivation more machinery than most other classes of farm products. General depression in Canada, Argentina and elsewhere so reduced buying power in 1914-15 that new agricultural machinery has not been purchased in the usual quantities, but with a restoration of normal conditions American manufacturers will doubtless find larger markets than ever before.
