IF IT'S NEWS, IT'S IN THE BEE, FOR THE BEE IS A NEWSPAPER. THE BEE ing Negro Newspaper-That's THE BEE WASHINGTON EX-REGISTER REMOVED EX-REGISTER VERNON REMOVED. Wild Excitement Among Mississippi Colored Americans—Bishop Campbell Burned in Effigy. Jackson (Miss.) Daily News. Because he opposed the reelection of Dr. W. T. Vernon to the presidency of Campbell College. Bishop J. M. Connor, of the African Methodist Church, was burned in effigy at the colored Methodist church on Pearl street last night. More than five hundred angry, excited Negroes participated in the event. A police squad was on hand, but no effort was made to interfere with the ceremony. Dr. Vernon has served as president of Campbell College for several years. He served as register of the treasury under President Roosevelt's administration. The ceremony had several humorous aspects. The effigy of Bishop Connor was a notable fat and portly negro clad in a silk hat and frock coat. The figure was placed on the end of a pole, and, after being carried around through the crowd was set on fire. Lengthy resolutions were adopted, denouncing Bishop Connor, and declaring that his hostility to Dr. Vernon was actuated by jealousy, spite and malice. Nearly one hundred white people attracted to the scene by the angry shouts and passionate speeches, witnessed the ceremony. Diamond Cox presided as chairman of the meeting with A. J. Wade as secretary. The principal speaker was P. W. Howard, who wrote the resolutions denouncing Bishop Connor. Dr. Vernon is unquestionably popular among the colored people of Jackson, and when the college board failed to re-elect him to the presidency much surprise and astonishment was caused, culminating in the mass meeting last night. One thing is quite certain regarding the affair. Bishop Connor may hold the whip hand, but it would probably be rather unsafe for him to come to Jackson and try to use it. Dr. Vernon failed re-election to the presidency of Campbell College by a vote of 12 to 10. Bishop Connor appoints fifteen of the twenty-five members of the board of trustees, and his opponents declare that he "stacked the board" against Dr. Vernon holding a whip hand over the preacher members, who realize that they could not get good assignments next year unless they had voted his wishes. The resolutions adopted last night were formed by P. W. Howard, a well known colored lawyer, and are as follows: This matter has caused a serious breach in the board of trustees, resulting in the resignation of Wayne W. Cox of Indiana, Miss., who has been a delegate to several general conferences of the A. M. E. Church and who has been the general financial backer of the school, the resignation of Diamond Cox who is president of the Laymen's Movement of this church and delegate-elect to the general conference, and who was secretary of the trustee board, and George W. Gilliam of Clarkedale, Miss., the three most representative laymen connected with the church of this state. The Negroes were determined to express their protest, in spite of the efforts of Bishop Connor and the pastor of the church to stop the meeting. Experienced ones in the church say that this is the first time in the history of the church that an A. M. S. bishop hung in effigy in front of one of the churches of his diocese. DUBOIS. Dr. W. E. B.

It is proposed to on a pageant to celebrate the adoption of the Thirteenth Amendment abolishing slavery. It is proposed to give this pageant early in October at the baseball park. DISFRANCHISEMENT IN THE SOUTH The Supreme Court Decision Puts an End to Minority Rule. Dr Joseph G. Hanning The decision of the United States Supreme Court on the suffrage cases brought before that tribunal from Oklahoma and Maryland will inevitably result in a political upheaval in southern states, for these disfranchisement laws in the south do not strike alone at the' Negro, they also undermine popular government. It is all a part of a system for the political repression of the opposition to the Democratic machine. These acts originated in the political necessity of a long dominant faction. They were not heard of until the Populist-Republican fusion movement in the south was threatening the overthrow of the old regime. It will be recalled how over forty southern Democratic congressmen were unseated in 1896 by contests brought up from the south and that it was shown then how the black belt Negro voting population was used as an asset by the Bourbon machine. This shaking up at that time of the Bourbon south caused the southern Democratic machines to revert from the open faced fraud and counting out system to the present methods of political control through the subterfuge of disfranchisement. The whole disfranchisement plan was evolved to avoid contests in congress. That the XVth amendment establishes United States citizenship as distinctive from state citizenship and that a states cannot by any subterfuge deprive a United States citizen of his ballot rights is a main position taken by the recent Supreme Court decision. This ruling must alter the suffrage condition in the south. Should the states of the south fail to accept the letter and spirit of this decree it will surely follow that public sentiment will cause congress to enact such laws as meet this situation. Before the disfranchisement acts went into effect in the southern states the vote for McKinley was as great in a dozen of these states as was polled by the democracy in these in 1832. The aggregate vote polled for Wilson electors in the dozen southern states is no more than a million and a half, while there are about 3,500,000 whites and 1,500,000 blacks of voting age in these states. This shows, on its face, how far this sweep of the Bourbon's disfranchisement axe has gone and to what extent this political repression has existed, practically unrestrained, until this recent decision. Alabama, with 250,000 whites and 180,000 blacks of voting age, elects its governor on about 60,000 ballots, while ten congressmen come up on a similar vote. The absurdity of the condition is too apparent to permit of delay in dealing with this condition. The suffrage situation in Mississippi is even worse than in Alabama, for 30,000 or 40,000 votes dominate that state and elect the delegation to congress. The entire country is affected by this machine political strategy and wire pulling. The south is now in the saddle because of it and, once for all, the country will insist that this form of political jugglery shall give way to real republican form of government. Under the gulse and pretext of seeking to avoid Negro domination the Democratic partisan political machines have, in fact, bolstered up government by a minority of white sand to the exclusion of the white masses as well as the colored from the ballot. This the country is beginning to find to be the truth of the whole matter.-The Protectionist COL. ROOSEVELT Will Support the Moose Candidate—Democrats Jubilant—Standpatters Not Disturbed. Col. Roosevelt's clear-cut, unequivocal statement at Sagamore Hill, Oyster Bay, that he will "enroll as a progressiver" and advise his friends to stand by that party, will carry much satisfaction to friends of President Wilson and little comfort to republicans, according to the views of prominent democrats in Washington to-day. The colonel's statements, together with those of Victor Murdock and other progressive leaders, that the party will make its fight next year intact and has no purpose of fusing with the republicans, weaken the hope of republican leaders that the grand old party will next year swallow the disaffected progressives, and that only one party will confront the democrats in the presidential campaign. Despite the daily suggestions in Democratic circles in Washington that Col. Roosevelt is down and out as a political factor, it has been noticeable for months that what he said and did was more closely scrutinized and more elaborately commented upon than any other man in public life. The White House has watched his movements with the utmost care, and the prospect that the colonel might go back to his old party and take his followers with him was a shadow over Democratic prospects that the White House and other Democratic headquarters did not relish. There probably will be hearty Democratic commendation, it was predicted, for the loyalty Col. Roosevelt shows to his own party and to the men who stood by him. The closer M. H. EX-REGISTER W. T. VERNON, Causes a Sensation—Removed by His Bishop. the harder he works to keep that party alive and a factor next year, the better the Democrats will like his work. From their viewpoint it means hat many thousands of original Republicans, who would never vote the Democratic ticket, will be kept away from the Republicans in close States, and give the Democrats an opportunity to control the government through the split of the opposition.

What a pity the Congress of the United States, or those authorized by the Congress, had not been apprised before the money was appropriated to exploit an exposition commemorative of the Negro's progress in this country since slavery, that it would be necessary to enlist the services of Negro men and women, who not only had the confidence of the people, but who had the sense to know what would be necessary to be done to insure the success, of such an undertaking. It is true that the old anti-bellum Negro, of whom the white man of the South is so especially fond, and who filled his place admirably and well, is not the kind of Negro who will suit nowadays to foster and conduct great enterprises which call for experience and wisdom of a commanding order. It is time some such men were niamed on the committee of management, but it turns out that they had no more to do with the management of the affair than some one in a foreign land. We are exceedingly glad that the Negro newspapers all over the country are hastening to make it known that the consummate farce was due to the utter mismanagement of those who directly handled the affair, and that the intelligent Negro of Virginia had no possible part in either its promotion or its failure.—Newport News, Va. DIED—THE SUN. Attended by the Eagle, Who Has Embalmed It With Its Talons—Both Have Been Flirting for Some Time, But Now Time Has Dlimmed the Sun's Rays, and Death Claimed Its Victim. The Washington Sun, that has been flirting around your streets, only for some time, with the Eagle, died last week from a case of flirting with the Eagle. The Sun came to fill a long-felt want, so did the Eagle. The combination of the two infants, it is claimed, will put all other journals out of commission. Now, there will be some more hot air 'speeches from the attaches of the Eagle, only to terminate like all good and clean (?) journals that have sprung up in this city. People who advertise know a good and substantial paper. The Bee is 35 years old, and it is supported by the substantial people of the city. More Bees are sold by the agents in different sections c' the city than any five papers that exist and six times more than any three papers in this city edited by colored people. Let the Sun rest in peace. LINCOLN NOTES. Lincoln. Md.-The Colored People's Chevy Chase of Washington suburbs, on the W. B., A. E. RR., where health and pleasure abounds, Sunday, Aug. 1 last, say the first service held in A. M. E. Church, which is under construction, though only partially completed. The pastor, Rev. L. P. Herring, preached the first sermon Sunday morning at 11.30, Sunday school at 4 p. m., and a special program Sunday evening for children's day, under the leadership of Mrs. Mary L. Freeman, the uniting superintendent, and the program as carried out was highly complimented by Presiding Elder Rey. J. W. Marcells, who was present to hold his quarterly conference. Mrs. M. P. Johnson, proprietress of Lincoln Cottage, rendered all music from her graphaphole, Mrs. D. P. Seaton, Mrs. T. J. Calloway and daughters, Misses Lucille and Caroline, Mr. and Mrs. I. T. Hatton, Mrs. Marion Fletcher and Mrs. Watkins were visitors. Mrs. W. H. Freeman, who is the present Sunday School superintendent of the Bethel A. M. E. Sunday School at Lincoln, Md., is one of Lincoln's best citizens. She was formerly from Parkersburg, W. Va. Cosmopolitan Church to be Extensively Repaired. At a special meeting of the Cosmopolitan Baptist Church, N street between Ninth and Tenth northwest, the trustees were authorized to repair, paint, plaster, and decorate, and give a general overhauling to the abovewned church. The contract was given to Mr. Charles Barnes, who promises to give a first class job. It is said that when this church is completely remodeled it will be one of the prettiest churches in the city. It is to be completed by the first Sunday in September. The pastor, Dr. Simon P. W. Drew, who has been conducting a revival in Richmond, IA., since May 9 with won- derful success, the result being over 2,000 converts, will return in time to preach the first sermon after the remodeling of the church. Arrangements have been made to begin a big union revival Sunday, Sept. 12, and ending Oct. 10. SALOONS MAY BE REDUCED. Fewer Retail and Wholesale Liquor Dealers Seek Licenses. Only five retail and two wholesale applications for liquor license renewals were filed with the excise board yesterday, the first day of the period in which applications annually are required to be filed for the license year that begins November 1. The corresponding day a year ago fourteen retail and two wholesale applications were received. That business conditions may result in less than 300 barroom licenses, the maximum number allowed by law, being granted by the excise board this year, is considered probable by those in touch with the situation. Already four licensees have surrendered their licenses this year. The increased license fees, the brewery strike, and prosecutions against dealers operating under licenses alleged to have been granted illegally by the excise board, are among some of the causes that may lead to a reduced number of licenses being issued this year. There are at present 296 barrooms in the District. Many predict that there may not be more than 275 next year. "QUIET ZONES" APPROVED. Public Co-operates for Avoidance of Noise, Near Hospitals. Washington's quiet zones established around hospitals and other institutions in which sick persons are cared for, are said to be improving satisfactory, with the public indicating every desire to co-operate in making them a success. The quiet zone order was adopted by the Commissioners January 29 last, but the signs indicating the boundaries of the zones have only been in place since June 16. The order prohibits the making of an unnecessary noise, crying of wares, playing of musical instruments or sounding of gongs within 250 feet of any hospital or sanatorium. Violation of the regulation is punishable by a fine of not less than $1 nor more than $40. DANGEROUSLY ILL. Spinal Meningitis is the Alliment of Assistant Superintendent of Schools, Rosine G.

All good Republicans should go and hear the great Republican. PUBLIC MEN AND THINGS (By the Sage of the Potomac) Some old mummyfied has-been once said that "misfortune makes the whole world kin." I just quote this, 'cause I am downright sorry to hear of Rosco Bruce's relapses. Even them there critters who harbor the most hatred in their "boosums" must agree that when a fellow is down on his back in the bed, and suffering pains and "sick" like it's no time to pum spleen into his sick room. I've disagreed many a time with Rosco, and I aint never, during the last few years, maintained a corner on agreement with him, but I just naturally got sympathy for a feller when he hits the trail of ill ness, and I think that's the time to rush out with the flag of truce, and call a halt, or cessation, as they say in the trenches over in Flanders, on hostilities. Less just go to that fountain of the Human Kindness and drink a few draughts of sympathy, and indulge in a few assorted hopes that Rosco gets well and speedily. When he gets up, and is strong and robust, then its time to renew hostilities, and announce through a megaphone: "On with the dance." I've heard a number of people this week compliment my editor-employer, William Calvin, on his expression of sympathy for Rosco in last week's Bee, and say that "the fearless and relentless one" after all carries around a few drachmas of real sympathy for the feller what's being tortured with'sickness. It never hurts nobody to keep a bit of sympathy preserved on ice for use when needed, and it takes a lot of stings out of life. Speaking about sympathy, I recalls hearing Dick Thompson once say that "Sympathy ought to be allowed to run unbrilled, and if it did the world would be better." I don't know where Dick dug up that sage remark, and I don't give him credit for originating it, cause he never claimed it, but nevertheless it was a remark what fits this here existence on this here mundane sphere like a pair of Ware's shoes fit the woman to whom he sold them as being the best shoe on the market. Governor Pinchback remarked the other day that he had taken stock of the past and present, so far as it effected this here coal-tar-complexioned crowd to which you and I belong, and found that there was too much acrimony, and it was about time we unite or be united against. The Governor, when he gets philosophical, can hand out as a line of sage advice as ever old Socates coined, and he can make Woody's "We ask no more for ourselves than we ask for humanity" look like a selling plater in a New Orleans running race. And now while I'm on the Governor, I wish to remark that the passing of Judge Gibbs the other week into the happy hunting ground leaves the Governor as the last of the "Old Guard." He's been a mighty fighter. In his day—never asked or gave quarter when he though he was right, but now that he is in the "seer and yellow leaf," he regards his triumphs and defeats as history, and carries no enmity around, as a half-breed's burden, for nobody. He just has a kind word, a smile, a bit of advice, and drop of Xander's good cheer for everybody what drops in. I'm wishing that this last of the "Old Guard" will tarry around here until the cows come home, and I hope the cows will never come home. As Doc. Sum Wormley remarked over on Fourteenth street the other evening, "Let's fill up the gap of divergence with a pint of cohesion." or something to that effect. I just can't quote him literally cause my memory aint in the Armond Scott class, and at the time I had fed myself a beautiful mint julip—the kind what Henry Slaughter makes. But I thought that Doc Sum had got off a pretty good thing, and I went home and told my spouses about it. She listened to it, while I regaled her with how dramatically Doc Sum got it-off, and when I got through—it was about five minutes after 12 P. M., she just turned over on the other side, gave her back to me, and remarked, just as sagely, "Umph, what you telling me that for, why don't you go-off and practice what the Doc says yourself." When she handed me that I began to figure that the old lady had "said something" to the Honorable Pat and I began to figure what a curious compound these women are. When you go to hand them something what you think would benefit them they just take a circulous trip to the well of facts, and draws you up a bucket of "get-backs" that sends you to the mat for the count. They sure are an uplifting bunch, these shemales, but they are so spiteful in handing you the uplift information. I just got a tip that there is a sensation brewing in this little old National Capitol that when it ripes and busts it will start tongues to wagging what never wagged before. It is something "orful." but as it aint just ripe for handing out now, and as the libel laws are so strict, I'm just going to lie supinely on my back and wait till the nqtary public hands the goods over to the courts with his final wind-up: "Personally appeared before me, a Notary, etc., etc., who deposes and says," etc., and then I may comment on it, and say: "I told you so," "I tipped it off to you that a sensation was coming what would re-echo and rebound around in the Eighth Police Precinct like a Kansas cyclone chasing the denizens of the sunflower state to their cyclone cellars." And the folkses involved are some pumpkins in oxadized society too, let me tell you. Another thing let me tell you, it's been an open secret with a few who has known all the time. If anybody thinks they are the guilty ones my advice is to put on the breaks, shut off the current, and adjust the sparkplug before it's too late. Selah. Say, don't you know it's pretty hot to be writing this stuff, and it's pretty tiresome and discouraging too when you stop to think that a whole lot of your friends what borrow money at ten per cent per month are at the seashore enjoying their borrowed money? Well, it is. U. S. TO EXTEND RULE IN HAITI. American Military Control to Cover Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, Holding Probate Court. No. 19655, Administration.

The mission is proceeding on board the naval collier Jackson, which last week brought 100 additional marines to Port au Prince to re-enforce Admiral Caperton. It is headed by Lieut. R. B. Coffey, of the navy. The other members are former President Legits, Archbishop Conan, Gen. Eclynee, former minister Charles Zamor, whose brother was recently president of Haiti, and Col. Chevalier. The admiral has not stated whether any armed force is accompanying this mission to execute its purpose of disarming the forces in Cape Haitien and vicinity. It is doubted here that the purpose of the mission will be achieved without the presence of American forces to back it up. Admiral Caperton's instructions are that the mission "require the army in the north to disarm and to disband, the soldiers to return to their homes, and Gens. Blot and Bobo to return to Port au Prince with the commission and join in conference to promote order over in Haiti." This program, undertaken by Admiral Caperton, it is stated here, without any instructions from Washington, is regarded here as a most ambitions one. Its fulfillment will, it is believed, place all of Haiti under the control of the American forces. It is considered more than possible, however, that it will not be accomplished without meeting with resistance on the part of the Haitians. Leaders Busy With Plans. Since the downfall of President Guillaume Sam at Port au Prince last week, the opposing leaders in the north, Bobo and Blot, have been busy with plans of their own for the futuro of Haiti. Conferences are being held at Cape Haitien by various groups, and every indication in the last few days has pointed to the probability of a further resort to armed force to decide the supremacy as between the factions, if not prevented by the United States.

The immediate situation in Port au Prince is quiet, Admiral Caperton reports. On Saturday night there was a raid on a Wesleyan mission there, it being charged that the mission was secreting a Haitian who had been guilty of a political murder. No disturbances occurred Sunday night. The American forces are not permitting Haitians to assemble in large groups on the street or in public places. The disarmament continues, but Admiral Caperton has reason to believe that many weapons and much ammunition are being held out and concealed by the Haitians. BUSINESS LEAGUE CONVENTION NOTES.

Haiti is convulsed in another revolution. Revolutions in Haiti have been an annual, semi-annual, and almost monthly occurrence for many years. In Haiti, as in Mexico, and various Central American republics, a revolution appears to be the only road to power. Peace in Haiti is but a fantastic dream—revolutions constitute the hope and aspirations of those who seek power, and there appears to be no limit to the number in that little revolution-cursed republic who seek power. When will Haiti have a stable government? Perhaps when Haitians are permitted to conduct their own government without the interference of white speculators who, in their greedy efforts to secure fortunes colored with blood and death of Haitians, constantly incite parties and factions against parties and factions, President Wilson has landed marines in Haiti. He has hurried to that ill-fated republic monster ships of war "to protect American interests." Haiti is small—but a mere atom among the republics of the world. It is easy for a big, boastful country like the United States to subdue her fighting factions, and, in the finality, if desired, annex that country to this country where Negro rights and privileges constitute but a "mere scrap of paper." But Mexico is a much larger country. Mexico's mountains and fighting, bloodthirsty Yaqui Indians are a menace to an attempt on the part of this country to intervene. Mexico has been a seething lake of blood and death—of revolution for the past three years—ever since President Wilson has been in the White House. But in spite of his many ultimatums, his veiled and open threats to intervene he has not sent troops into Mexico. He has not, or rather this country has not, so much as placed an embargo upon the shipments of arms and ammunition to the warring factions of the Aztec country for use in slaughtering her men and women and children, and despoiling the land. Millions of dollars of property in Mexico, during the past three years, has been destroyed by ammunition and guns shipped from this country from which the greedy manufacturers here have piled up fortunes. Thousands and thousands of lives—Mexican lives, have been snuffed out by the bullets shot from United States manufactured guns—shipped there for that purpose, and still the policy of this administration has been. and is today—to let the warring factions fight it out to a finish without interference; and without sending American troops into Mexico "to protect American interests." Under no Negro United States minister's administration, however, from the time this country began sending American Negroes to that country as diplomatic representatives of this country, has revolution fattened and propagated as during the past two years during the residence in that country of a white United States minister whom President Wilson appointed to succeed a Negro minister. During the residence in Haiti of the white American minister whom Mr. Wilson appointed revolutions in Haiti have been almost a monthly occurrence. Who is responsible? What has, or what is the white American minister doing to quiet disturbance in poor little Haiti? The Bee does not, and would not charge that he is responsible for the rapidly succeeding revolutions there during the past two or more years, but it does charge that, unfortunately, these revolutions have increased in number and fury during his residence there. Negro minis- ters from this country, possessing racial sympathies for Haitians, who are also Negroes, heretofore have been able to compose difference between the warring factions down there, or at least restrict revolutions to the minimum loss of lives and property. What has President Wilson's white minister done? Is it not time that President Wilson supercede his inactive white minister there, who has no racial sympathy with the people of the Black Republic, with an American Negro minister who has? Was not President Wilson unduely hasty in sending troops to poor little Haiti, considering his three years of procrastination with the Mexican situation? THE ALABAMA EDITOR. Negro editors, preachers and certain colored citizens in the State of Georgia are mourning over a legislature prohibitive bill or a bill which prohibits white people teaching in colored, schools and colleges. There is no bill that pleases The Bee so much as this one. The Southern Negro, the Northern Negro, the Eastern and Western Negro have been declaring their ability to teach themselves and especially their children. Now, if the Southern colored people are not competent enough to teach their children they ought to retire to the wilds of Africa. The Bee has the most implicit confidence in the Colored teachers and their ability to do just as much as the white teacher. This is a God's law. Now the Negro child will be taught true and real patriotism. These Southern legislative crackers will be taught a liberal and true lesson some day. The Negro is the only true American. Such legislation fully demonstrates the real animosity and prejudice of the white south in the Georgia cracker. This act of legislation fully shows the white man's prejudice in Georgia. It shows that the white man's hate in Georgia against the Colored race is of such a character that it will be sometime before it is eradicated. This venom of the Georgia legislature is deeply buried in the hearts of the law makers. They are in the majority. They have the power to make laws, but that doesn't say that it is just. The Georgia legislature is controlled by a class of semi-civilized individuals or semibarbarians, who will some day be wiped off the face of the earth. The Voice of the People, printed at Birmingham, Ala., is calling upon the preachers, the doctors and classes of colored citizens to enter their protest against the passage of the bill. This bill is a blessing in disguise. Let the white keep away from the black man if he likes. Why should the colored people of Georgia or Alabama lament? The Voice of the People, Rev. J. A. Bray, D.D., Editor, howls like a mule. Here is what he says: "Every Negro preacher should call his church to pray; every Negro educator should send his country representative a petition; every Negro servant should plead with his employer, every Negro cook and washer woman in Georgia should plead with the mistress of the home, every Negro who has white friends in Georgia should write letters. "The bill means not only much to the Negro of Georgia, but it means much to all Negroes of the South. If one state passes such a bill, others will follow suit. It is a shame. Not a friend of the Negro race will vote for the bill. "It throttles the church in its missionary efforts. It circumcribes the individual in his work of charity and human uplift. It is an undemocratic measure offered and passed by a Democratic Senate." "Shall the hand of progress be turned backward on the dial? We have gone some. Let's keep on. Shall the Negro be confirmed in his suspicion that the white man really seeks his hurt? Can't we live in peace together? Should war come must we not fight under the same flag? Who will charge the ramparts of the enemy? Does the loyalty of ten millions count in a crisis? "It may be granted that the white men make the laws, but for the sake of High Heaven, let him show himself worthy. No truly great man will take the advantage of a weaker brother. Finally let us pray: 'O God, free men from their prejudices. Grant that men in power may be guided by Thy Holy Spirit. Establish peace in the hearts of us all. Let the Georgia Legislators in this race issue abide by the Golden Rule, Remember dear old Georgia.'" If this preacher had any sense or one grain of reason in his brain he would commend the cracker legislature of Georgia for its liberality. Why we are making Negro teachers at the rate of one an hour. Our own Prof. L. B. Moore will supply the state of Georgia with as many cultured teachers as the state needs. Our own dear Dr. Lucy E. Moten is able to give the State of Georgia 40 every year; trained and cultured educators. Wilberforce is ready to do likewise. If this Negro editor had only known The Bee is able to supply the entire South with teachers. Why this is a great opening for Negro teachers. This cracker legislature will do the Negro press a favor if it will pass a law making it a misdemeanor for a Negro to read a paper Edited by White men. THE HAITIANS It is an aphorism too true that an apparent big nation will do some small acts some times. Now, here is a little black republic known as Haiti, that involved herself in a fight among themselves. About 160 of them were murdered. The great government of the United States which stands off and parleys with other nations that are warring and murdering one another by the millions. This great government of the United States, frequently insulted by other nations, does but one thing, and that is, to write notes telling them not to do it again. Now, what do you think of such action? United States marines have been dispatched to Haitian waters to put a stop to a fight among a few bad men, who cannot agree among themselves any more than the butchers of Europe. This government is quick to show bravery to a small republic, but does not show what it can do with such nations as Germany, Great Britain, France and other great nations that are doing the "dog in the manger" stunts. NO WAR. It is all well enough to talk about, war and insults, but President Wilson is right when he attempts to avoid war. Those who have never been to war or been in a country where war is going on don't know what they are talking about when they say that President Wilson is a coward. War! No, we don't want war, and if avoiding war by acts of diplomacy is cowardice, then The Bee hopes that it will continue. If there was a little skirmish in the south with the hayseeds and crackers who don't know anything but to burn innocent citizens at the stake, perhaps then the country would be improved. If Mississippi and Burleson's state would experience a fight with Vardaman, Josephus Daniels, and Burleson commanding, perhaps there would be a little peace, in their section at any rate. There is one thing President Wilson is right on and that is the war proposition. 'Those who are anxious to fight may find employment in the armies of either of the allies. REPUBLICAN RALLY The republican rally that will take place at Eureka Park Wednesday, September 5th, will be one of the greatest events in the history of the republican party in this city. The National Capital Republican Club is composed of the leading colored republicans in the city. This club will be addressed by some of the leading republicans in the United States who believe in the principles of the republican party. Fully five thousand republicans are expected to assemble in this great park as an evidence of their fealty to the republican party and its principles. The time has come for the colored republican throughout the United States to rally. The condition of the country demands immediate action. Those who wish to join the club should send their names to the chairman of the executive committee at once. REV. FRANCIS M. GREGORY Rev. Francis M. Gregory, no doubt one of the best educated ministers in the United States, will preach at the People's Congregational church next Sunday morning. The Bee as well as the community would welcome such a minister to the Capital of the Nation. Rev. Gregory would be a great acquisition to this church if he could be secured. Don't fail to go and hear him. Such a talented, moral and upright young man as Dr. Gregory at the People's Congregational church would increase the membership of the church to hundreds. The Bee is merely making a suggestion because it knows the value such a minister would be to this church as well as to the community. · THE MOOSE Col. Roosevelt and his followers have informed the country that they will name their Moose presidential ticket. The American people have as much use for the Bull Moose party as they have for a longer lease of life for the Democratic party. Moose or no Moose, the Republican party will return to power. There may be a small Moose party in this city but it hasn't sufficient power to draw. The congressional election gave evidence of the strength of the Moose party. It is dead as Hector. POLICE GRAFT The United States Attorney will give certain members of the Metropolitan police force an opportunity to explain certain graft charges that have been made by those who have enjoyed immunity to commit crime. There will be some sensation in a few days. The Sun has at last "set." The Eagle has flown again. Now, it is said that the poor little Bee will be put out of commission by the Eagle. Strange how an Eagle can swallow the Sun. If talk will do it, The Bee was put out of commission when the Sun arose and the Eagle flew under the Sun a few months ago. Was the Eagle doped with Hair Vim? Or was it caught while going astray? Strange things happen sometimes. Don't fail to come to the republican rally September 8, and listen to great speakers. There is silence in the schools for the present. The changes that will take place will surprise the nation. Dean Moore of Howard University would make a good school superintendent. The War Department store is one indeed and in fact the people should visit it. Robert Harlan's Toggery Shop is an up-to-date business. The people should visit it. Hoffman's great band will be at Eureka Park September 8. DOGS TO BE MUZZLED, COMMISSIONERS ORDER Action Taken by Board on Recommendation of health Officer UK OF TAKEN BY BOARD on Recommendation of Health Officer Woodward. Following receipt of a report from Health Officer Woodward stating that the continued presence of rabies in the District indicates that there are one or more dogs afflicted with this disease now running at large on the capital's streets, the District Commissioners to-day repromulgated the order requiring the muzzling of all dogs. The present muzzling regulation expires August 9. Rables Record for Year. According to Dr. Woodward, from July 1, 1914, to June 30, 1915, twenty-one dogs were reported to the health department as having shown clinical symptoms of rabies. In eight cases the clinical diagnosis was confirmed by post mortem examination. The dogs suffering with rabies bit eleven persons, two of whom developed hydrophobia, which resulted, totally resulted fatally. During the month just closed, Dr. Woodward states, a dog suffering with rabis bit a child, and a cat, also rabid, bit a woman. Urges Renewal of Order. "We should not lose sight of the fact," he said, "that the muzzling order was in force during the period this record was made, and therefore it is reasonable to believe that if said muzzling order, which expires August 9, is not renewed this record will be infinitely worse than during the present year." The Bee Staff. Dr. J. E. Olden, one of the best musicians in the city and an authority on music, has been added to the reportorial staff of The Washington Bee. Dr. Olden will be seen at all public functions and will give a correct and impartial report of the proceedings. Any courtesy shown him will be appreciated by the editor. Card of Thanks.

Vladivostok, Russia.—With this city burdened with the business of war—it is a great shipping center now of vast supplies for the Russian armies—with practically the whole population devoted to it, not a drop of intoxicating beverage can be bought in Vladivostok. With speed and efficiency a prime necessity in getting the supplies off to the front, alcohol and the business of war would not mix well here. Hence the law against the sale of vodka, wines, whisky and even beer is strictly enforced. But it is a wonderful thing how the people have got along without drinking. They have demonstrated this and shown that they can have a good time just the same. They still frequent the "cafe concerts" or find other amusements to relieve the heavy burden of the day's work. To be sure, the concerts close at 1 instead of 5 in the morning, but everybody wants to go to bed earlier now and get up earlier. The feeling of the people that they must drink something besides water induced shrewd officers of the army commissariat to revive a Russian temperance drink that really was invented 2,000 years ago, the Russian "kvass." It resembles American root beer and it is made of Russian black bread and yeast. Its alluring and deceptive foam results from the fermentation of the yeast. It is now drunk everywhere. MADE $38 A DAY. Pulling Motorcars Out of the Mud Proves Very Lucrative. Montgomery. Mo.-A delegation of twenty members of the Commercial club, headed by President Thomas Caln, went out in automobiles to the junction of the old trails road and the North State highway, leading from St. Louis to Kansas City, one mile southeast of New Florence, to erect sign- boards for the information of cross state travelers. This was thought necessary because the recent floods and washouts have made the roads almost impassable in places between High Hill, Mineola and Fulton. It is said that one man living on the route has made $100 in a short time pulling automobiles out of mudholes and that another man made $38 in one day at the same work. HICKS, CONSCIENCE PRISONER, IS FREE Owned Up In Bowery Mission He Was Fugitive. New York.—Robert E. Hicks, owner of a printing shop at 63S Hudson street, who startled his friends by confessing at a Bowyer mission meeting one Sunday in June that he was a fugitive from justice and intended to give himself up so that he could square accounts with the government by serving a term of ten months to which he was sentenced thirteen years ago for misusing the mails, was discharged from the Blackwell's-island penitentiary. President Wilson commuted his imprisonment and $1,000 fine as soon as he heard the story of the workings of the man's conscience. Hicks went direct to his home on the top floor of 50 Horatio street, opposite his printing shop, where his wife and the three babies were waiting. What happened then is nobody's business. Mrs. Hicks' struggle to look after the children and keep the printing business going while her husband was locked up was a hard one and resulted in failure. She was obliged to shut up shop because work didn't come in. "I don't deserve any credit for giving myself up after thirteen years of liberty." Hicks said as his wife washed the dishes and the babies, two girls and a boy, the eldest of whom is four, slept. "I simply had to do it in order to get peace of mind. "I was convicted thirteen years ago and jumped my bail after I was sentenced. I went to England, and the first three years were years of fear. After my return I went into the Manhattan Gospel mission on Manhattan street while drunk, on the night of Dec. 4, 1912, for the purpose of getting a bed and got religion instead. As I came into the new life I began to see things in a new light and had to unload. I told my story at the Bowery mission after a night of prayer without consulting my wife. I bellied that God directed me what to do. On the following morning I got Anthony Comstock on the phone and told him that I was Hicks, and he remembered me. I promised to give myself up on the following Tuesday but he delayed my surrender until a later date. And then I went to fall "I spent just forty days on the island. It's strange how often that period of forty days is mentioned in the Bible. They were without doubt the happiest forty days of my life. I am not ashamed that I went there. I am ashamed of those days thirteen years ago." STANDPATTERS. The standpat Republicans are not at all disturbed over the attitude of Col. Roosevelt. If he is candidate the Republicans nominated by the regular convention will sweep the country as was done last November. If Col. Roosevelt is not nominated by the regular Republican convention there is no earthly hone for him. REAL YOUNG CHINA Girls Learning Dancing and Athletic Games. Shanghai, China.—A gymnastic exhibition given the other afternoon was an eye opener regarding what is being done for the development of China through the younger generation. Only a very few privileged males were allowed in the grounds, but there were perhaps a hundred or so foreign ladies and a matter of 400 or 500 Chinese mothers of families, and the latter certainly were a study. Pupils from the Shaughal Girls' school, the Chi Sue, Sung Char, Eliza Yates, South Gate Presbyterian and Bridgman Memorial schools and the Y. W. C. A. went through the regular western gymnasium drills, exercises, games and a variety of dances, such as certainly no Chinese woman would have dreamed of a few years ago. All the while Miss Chun, a bundle of concentrated energy, was skipping about the lawn, rapping out commands like a drill sergeant. Why, she just stepped back, took a preliminary hop and landed on the top of a table as easily as you like. The old fashioned mothers, just as the fathers at the Olympic games, at first gazed expressionless, then smiled cynically, next very nearly approvingly, and it was not very long before they were applauding vociferously and evidently quite converted. The dancing was a treat. Evidently it appeals to the Chinese. The girls went at it as though they thoroughly enjoyed it, and, though most of the movements were quite simple, yet the few that were intricate were very well done. As Dr. Wu Ting Fang said: "This is the real young China. We have shown what our boys can do. Now we have the girls in hand, and this is a good beginning." GIRLS KILL RATTLERS Spend Vacation Hunting on Lake Chelan and Fishing Like Men. Wenatchee. Wash.—Four girls who left Wenatchee for a hunting and camping trip on Lake Chelan have returned. In the party were Miss Louise Wedell and Miss Clare Turner of Wenatchee and Miss Lucile Relans and Miss Edna Leon of Spokane. They slept outdoors one night in a pine bough house they made themselves. While on the trip they caught several big trout, killers several rattlesnakes and also shot a lynx. Miss Wedell and Miss Turner are both good marksmen and have had similar experience in the Michigan north woods and in the Maine woods. INDIAN TRIBES OF NEW YORK FALL OFF More Than 609 Fewer Than Ten Years Ago. Albany, N. Y.-There are 600 fewer Indians on the reservations of New York state than ten years ago. But three tribes, the Onondagas, Tonawandas and Tuscaroras, show any gain in numbers, according to the official census figures made public by Secretary of State Francis M. Hugo. The total number of Indians now living on the eight reservations is 4,451 as compared with 5,060 in 1905. According to the federal enumeration of 1910, the population of the Indian reservations was 5,729, but the figures included whites and other persons as well as the redskins. Out of the 4,451 now on the reservations 762 confess to being pagans, and 748 speak little or no English. In the eight reservations there are 87,676 acres, of which the Indians are this summer cultivating 30,556, or an average of 608 acres for each man, woman and child. The census figures reveal that the St. Regis, Onondagas and the Tuscarawas are the largest tillers of the soil; the Allegany and the Cattaraugus Indians the least. At the Onondagas reservation 4,265 acres out of 7,300 are under cultivation; St. Regis, 10,628 out of 14,600; Cattaraugus, 4,447 out of 21,680; Allegany, 3,858 out of 30,460; Shinnecock, 71 out of 400 acres; Tonawandas, 2,527 out of 7,548; Tuscarawas, 4,749 out of 6,249. Pagans are shown as follows: Onondaga, 112; Cattaraugus, 300; Allegany, 257; Shinnecock, 5; St. Regis, 0; Tona wanda, 57; Tuscarawas, 0. The 748 formal speaking little or no English are divided in the following manner: Onondaugus, 34; St. Regis, 232; Cattaraugus, 56; Allegany, 101; Shinnecock, 0; Tnawadus, 230; Tuscaroras, 56. BEARS FRUIT BY COMPASS. When North and South Branches Fail East and West Are Laden. Federalburg. Kau-North Jones, a farmer living between Federalburg and Wheatley's camp ground, has on his farm an apple tree which is very much of a curiosity. The tree contains four branches which point to the north, south, east and west. Last year the north and south branches were laden with fruit, while the east and west branches did not bear a single apple. This year the conditions are vice versa, the east and west branches being laden with apples, while the north and south branches are bare. The Week in Society Come for drugs. Phone for drugs.

The leading Republicans of Prince Georges' county are making every effort to get together. The dove of perfect peace seems to be hovering over the situation. With gentlemen like Messrs. V. M. Lawrence, Frances S. Carmody, John Bowie, W. S. Ryan and the usual contingent of colored Republicans on the State Central Committee we see success in the county as well as in the State end of the ticket. It is now conceded that Mr. Weller will be the next governor of Maryland. Notwithstanding Gov. P. L. Goldsborough has made a strong governor he has declined the offer of leading Republicans to re-nominate him; and with the Governor out of the race, his race, his friends no doubt will support Mr. Weller for nomination and election. Mrs. Walker, the wonderful preacher lady, is conducting interesting meetings in front of the public hall here. The special services have begun at the Fairmount Heights M. E. Church. Rev. Dr. M. W. Clair, Ph.D., D. D. preached a soul-stirring sermon Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock. Rev. — preaches at the sane church in the morning. Woman's Day was celebrated at the First Baptist Church August 1.

Diggs, of Baltimore, Md., as the successor to Rev. E. E. Ricks, who has resigned to accept a call of the First Baptist church, Roanoke, Va. The selection was very harmonious and popular, and the new pastor, who is a graduate of Colby University and Newton, Mass., with high honors in theology, will find a hearty welcome awaiting him by his new congregation. The pulpit committee is to be congratulated for having arrived at so acceptable conclusion. A very good congregation attended services on Sunday morning to hear the special sermon by Rev. W. C.

Williams; solo, Margaret Johnson; duet, Mrs. Vessels and Mr. D. W.

A delightful beach, Dela., July 24.—A pleasure party was organized last night by Miss Beatrice Patton, Anna Greenwood, Gertrude Gray, Eula Maston, and Mrs. Mae Granger, Messrs. Buckneer, Smith, Olden, Hill and Hill. The party was formed at the Henloypen Hotel, led by Miss Maston along the boardwalk to Rehoboth ave., passing the movies, merry-go-round, and other places of amusement, to Mrs. Olson's, where the party rested on the large verandas. After refreshments were served, the party strolled along the beautiful avenues back to their abodes, the glory of the moon adding immensely to the grand outing. The ladies were all from Dover, Dela., and the gentlemen from the District of Columbia. Dr. E. J. Olden has just finished an S86 mile automobile tour, from Washington, D. C., to Philadelphia, to Rehoboth Beach, back to Philadelphia, to Atlantic City, back to Philadelphia, to Washington, D. C. While in Philadelphia he stopped at Erans' Hotel, and stopping at Wright's Hotel while in Atlantic City. Miss Edna, the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Sylvester Walker, celebrated her 12th birthday at their residence, Mintwood place and Col. road, Thursday evening, July 29. The lawn was beautifully lighted and decorated. The table was filled with all the delicacies of the season, and the handsomely dressed children made a spectacular scene. The presents were numerous and very handsome. Wednesday, Aug. 1, 1894, a son was born to Mr. and Mrs. George Plummer. His 21st birthday was celebrated Monday evening at their residence, 1643 13th street northwest. He was the recipient of many useful presents. Laury, the only son of Mrs. Hattie Barnes, of 1917 12th street northwest, is visiting his grandfather at Yorkville, S. C. He will, in all probability, remain throughout the entire summer. Those who fail to be at Eureka Park September 8, will miss a treat. THE BEE WOULD LIKE TO KNOW. Why a kicker kicks. Why is Mt. View House so popular. What draws the people there. Jesse H.

Burroughs, the great educator and female orator, and president of the Religious Training School for Woman and Girls, who was as royally entertained by the citizens of Philadelphia, Pa., is on her way to Boston, Mass. She will address the Negro Business League, when it meets. THE RICHMOND EXPOSITION The fifty-five (55) thousand dollars that Congress appropriated by the Richmond Exposition was liberally spent among the white pure. Not a paper edited by Colored Americans, it is stated, received a vent. The exposition, from what the Colored press has stated, was a complete failure. There is some talk of an investigation into the conduct of the management of this farce. Why the Chesterfieldian proprietor of Howard Theater, Andrew J. Thomas, continues to nibble with the bait. Why he remained from the Mt. View House last Sunday. What makes him go alone now; is he afraid to bite? What makes the Howard Theater supper shows so popular. Why Manager Byers of the Howard is admired of all admirers. HON. R. W. AUSTIN. One of the greatest speakers in the country who will address the Capital City United Republican Clubs, will be Hon. R.W.

It is difficult to state who the editor is, because his name doesn't appear. On the front page is the photo of W. L. Andersan. Whether he is the editor or not The Bee can't state. If he is, he demonstrates a great deal of homest by placing his photo on the front page of his paper. If it is not the editor, The Bee begs pardon for this comment. The Bee wishes The Argus great success. HON. WILLIAM HARRISON Hon.

Government to Accept All Ready For Service—National Register Will Be Taken—Crime For Men to Be Doing Work of Women, Says Suffrage Leader. London.—Fifty thousand women of England, accompanied by seventy-five brass bands and dressed in red, white and blue, the colors of the union jack and France, paraded from the Thames to Trafalgar square to demonstrate their desire to be enlisted in the services of their country in factories supplying war material. There was a remarkable scene when the minister of munitions, accompanied by Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst, the suffragist leader, appeared on a platform overlooking the embankment along which the procession made its way. Mrs. Pankhurst placed before Lloyd-George figures to, show that 40 per cent of the munition workers in Ger- Mary C. many are women and that 75 per cent of all food canned for the German army is tinned by women. "Our fight for votes for women is a forgotten issue in the national crisis," said Mrs. Pankhurst. "We are willing to 'do our bit' for England by taking our place in the factories and releasing men for the trenches. We are willing to do any work the government may assign to us, day or night." The minister of munitions told the deputation of women that something like 50,000 women already were working at various factories in the production of munitions. It was not a question of competition between male and female labor, he said, but of getting men and women to work together to help the country. The first thing, continued Mr. LloydGeorge, was to get an adequate supply of machinery and tools, and the government was assuming the control of all machine and tool making establishments in the country. Women who came forward to serve must give their whole time. There must be real national organization for all women who were prepared to take up munition work. Secondly, added the minister, there must be a sufficient number of women trained to direct and instruct others. In regard to wages, women would be paid the same piece rate as men, and all establishments would be under government control, while the government would see that there was no "sweated" labor. WARNED BY MORGAN CASE. Du Ponts Will Sell Explosives Only to Known Persons. Philadelphia.—As a direct result of the shooting of J. (Pierpont Morgan, the Du Pont Powder company of Wilmington, Del., issued orders to all its employees to sell explosives only to customers concerning whose identity they are certain. The order applies to thousands of clerks, salesmen, managers of branch offices and keepers of magazines throughout the country and marks the first step taken by any of the great ammunition concerns to prevent their products falling into the hands of irresponsible persons Kills Snake and a Boy. Yreka, Cal.—A half dead rattlesnake made a spasmodic attempt to coll when Mrs. Johnson Ahlren, who had shot it, drew near with a party of children at Somesbar, Siskiyou county, and everybody ran. In the flight Mrs. Ahlgren's revolver was discharged accidentally and Roy Donahue, eight, was shot through the back and killed. Discusses Wedding: Dies. New York.—Two hours after taking a headache powder Miss Reba Becker eighteen years old, of 1727 Park place Brooklyn, dropped dead. She was telling relatives at the time of her ap proaching welding. NEW YORK TENNIS CLUB TO HOLD BIG TOURNAMENT The New York Inter-Club Tennis Association, composed of the different organizations in greater New York, will hold an "All Comers Tournament" during the week of August 23d, the tournament in Philadelphia. It is exweek following the Chautauqua Club's tournament in Philadelphia. It is expected that many of the players competing here and representing Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia, New Haven, and Boston, will come to New York to play for the handsome cups offered by the Big City. For many years the Philadelphia and Washington tournaments have been among the big social events of the year, while in New York tennis has been backward to a very great degree. Lately, however, New York has developed several formidable men in the persons of Jones, Norman, and Brewer of Flushing; Cosa and Bain brothers of the Ideal Club; Colson, Stevens, Logan and Cheesman, of the Gotham, and Kyle of the Elite. Last year, the Turf Club of New York, now the Gotham Club, with its one court on West 138th street, determined to try out the scheme and held a tournament during the latter part of August. Many players in and around New York sent in entries with the result that the committee in charge was almost swamped. Talley Holmes, John Wilkerson and John Cromwell were among the Washington entrants. This decided the future for New York in tennis, so far as our race is concerned. The season of 1916 found the courts of the Ideal Tennis Club—five in number, occupied by three times the number of people playing tennis last year, and, as stated above, the New Yorkers have shown a vast improvement—so much so, in fact, that they have an even chance of retaining the prizes offered in the c ming event. Furthermore, teams will be sent to Philadelphia to the Chautauqua Club's Tournament. The officers of the New York InterClub Tennis Association are Dr. R. B. Costa, president, Miss Blossom L. Lewis, treasurer, and Warrick Cheesman, secretary, 119 West 136th street, New York City. Application blanks may be had upon application to the secretary. GIRL MAY SOLVE MYSTERIES OF MIND Science Gropes For Answer, Child Plays With Dolls. Berkeley, Cal.—Is the case of Beatrice Willard, seven-year-old girl who rivals adults in mentality, another phenomenon of the duetless glands, which it has been proved may make giants or dwarfs out of men? Is there a mysterious duetless gland that controls the brain, making a giant in mentality of one person and a mental dwarf of another? These are the questions scientists at the University of California may be able to answer through the queer case of the little San Francisco girl now under the eyes of the college savants. The San Francisco girl, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Leon Willard, 2224 Baker street, spoke in sentences when ten months old, read and wrote at three years, at five years was reading Kipping and Stevenson and passed the Binet mental test for a normal adult with remarkable case. Dr Henry Goldard, psychologist at the university, pronounces her case the most wonderful in his entire experience. The girl is normal in every respect except as to her mentality. At a glance she learns entire pages of print or manuscript, and, when not delving into the deepest subjects, plays "mother" to her dolls, romps with her playmates and is to all outward appearance a normal child of her age. "The child is a genius," says Dr. Frederic Burk of the San Jose Normal school. "She seems to learn with the greatest ease and has a photographic memory." Dr. Biddle's researches come under the scientific term "themodenology." He has explained by experiments on the ductless glands how the thyroid gland influences physical growth or retrogression, how nervous force is affected by the glands and how by regulation of these glands it may be possible for science some day to make glants or dwarfs at will and perhaps solve the secret of everlasting life. Will the little girl the scientists are now experimenting with give the same clew to the inner workings of the mind? Will the brain of a Caesar or a Homer, a Lobc or a Metchnikoff be found to be due entirely to the work of a microscopic gland? Science is grouping for the answer. The little girl, playing with her dolls, refuses to worry about it. Old Coins In Field. Monroe, Mich.-Fred Baumann of Frenchtown unearthed a number of old coins in a field upon his farm. They were very old; bearing a date early in the last century, and may have been hidden by some early settler who was either driven out of the country by the Indians or perished in the battle of the River Raisin in 1913.

The Father did no command the Son to make this sacri “fice. God does not command any on Our Obligations to Others. ER EN OE ah tote aaricshrcien nas eats alize that justice takes precedence of love. God requires Justice: and If we have agreed tu give Him yore than Justice, We are not thereby excused from rendering justice. Everywhere around us we tind injustice. There are parents who do not deal justly with their children, who take advantage of thelr children In yurlous ways. A par- ent owes it to is children not merely to bring them into the world and to get them to work for the family inter- ests, but to provide them with a rea- sonable educutfou and a religious home traning. Each should know what are his own rights iu the howe and sbould observe the rizbts of others. A good man’s suns might run away from home. but very seldym will a rightly trained child do 50. “In many homes the children are not treated uc- cording to the principles of justice. Often parents fail to realize the rights of grown suns and daughters, but con- tinue to treat them as children. Par- ents shoul! cultivate that broad sym pathy which would enable them to help thelr chitdren to decide all thelr affairs. A> @ clilld matures, there should be cin Independence of thought.

We showd he very ‘glail to see others ect Justiy toward us; but we should not necessarily stard on our rights anywhere. Love ignores many of its own rights. Our Lord's life on earth was one of sacrifice. In the Church or In the family or fn business we shoutd use good Judgment i the doing of God's will rather than In taking advan. tage of others. ‘As we do this, we are cultivating the spirit of justice. Lo we not see how this applies iii every direction’ For Instance. God's Law was originally given to Adam: Guts Justice inflicted the death penalty for the breaking of that Law. He would not sct aside His Law, His Justice, but He would bring in a blessing through the Lord Jesus Christ, Love gains this victory over Justice, not by violating Justice, but by sacrificing self. So it is for us to sacrifice ourselves in the fnterest of the Lord, the Truth and the brethren: and by thus dolng, we are really con. serving our own best interests and are growing in grace, in knowledge and Jn character-llkeness to our God. WISEST KING MISLED ee Teraal's Wisest King Becomes Most Foolish—Dissatisfaction Amongst the People—Solomon's Son and Succes- sor—Revolt of the Ten Tribes—The Two Kingdome—Reunited After the Babylonian Captivity—Lessons From King Rehoboam’s Experience. *] 1¢ goeth before deat Pile Before fall Poacete SaeaeN HE latter half of King Solo- mon's relgn was lees wonder ful and less creditable than the "first half. The king rested upon the marels of the early part of his relgn, hecame more and more in- terested in foreign affairs, and multi- piled the number of his wives and of his troubles. The wealth: represented in the great publle improvements was really public wealth, in which all the people were Interested; but the king’s aubsequent greater attention to per sonal nggrandizement was not in the interest of the nation, but merely fa- yorable to certain classes, Although neither rebellion nor pro: test was made against King Solomon, so far as the records show, nererthe less the people concluded to have a change In the kingdom under his son and successor, Rehoboam. ‘This dls satisfaction way mainly in the ten tribes. ‘The ‘two tribes, in whose ter ritory Was the capital city, were satis: fied with the great improvements which had vome to them. Jerusalem had been favored out of all proportior to the remainder of the country. Th other tribes hid shared in a genera conscription of labor at a compara tively small compensation, and fel that even-handed justice had not beer rendered then, “ The Kingdom Divided. _ King Jehobeam's coming to the throne was the signal for a protes and a demand that the king guarante the people against oppression—a de mand very similar to that In connee- ‘ton with the Mag: na Charta. ‘The de- mand was made at the time uf the King’s coronation. Then came repre- sentatives of the ten tribes; with Jerobonm as lead: er, saying, “Make thou the ztievous a ae aa ee 2 ther aud liix heavy yoke which he put upon us Nhter, and we! will serve thee.” ' The young king bade them return after three days. When he conferred with the old men of his kingdom, they advised, “If thou wilt be a servant unto this people this day, and wilt serve them, and answer them, and _speak good words unto them, then they will be thy servants forever.” But this advice was not fully satisfactory to young King Ieboboam; 80 be in: quired of his personal friends, younger ‘men of bis acquaintance. These gave opposite advice. ‘Their thought was that to steld to the people would be merely to start rebellious demands which eventually would be unendura: ble. The king azreed with them. “But the ten tribes were not intimt- dated. They withdrew, refusing te participate in the anolnting of Reho boam us their king. Only two tribes, Judah and Benjamin, remained loya’ to Rehoboam. Thus the kingdom of Israel-was divided. Thereatter the ten tribes maintained the title Kingdom of Israel, and the two tribes were called the Kingdom of Judab, for over five hundred years—until the return from Babylonian captivity. Since the captivity, the name Israel has stood for the entire twelve tribes ag at first, being so used by Jesus anc the Apostles; and the name Jews wa: similarly used for afl in covenant re lationship with God. The great ma Jority never returned.

Mr. William Lacey, president of the "Palm Beach Club," has been on the sick list during the past week. Reports from Atlantic City says that numerous soup houses are opening to feed the army of unemployed. Thousands of people of Chicago witnessed the base ball game played a few weeks ago between the Palmer House and the Auditorium Athletic Club, the score being 14 to 6 in favor of the hotel men. Many guests from the Palmer House were rooters at the game. Saratogo Springs, N. Y., is now in the midst of the season. The Colored Orchestra at the Grand Union Hotel, has made quite a hit with the hotel guests and the local patrons. This JOHN H. R. De Reef Miller. hotel has two orchestras, one white and the other colored. The waiters in both departments are colored, the most of whom are masters of the art. This hotel is in the lead for good food and treatment for the lief, which many hotel men are awakening to the fact that these two items are the secret of success in the business. Many of Wahington's colored hotel men assisted the Knights of Pythias in opening River View for the season. The Charles Werner made three trips to the park, having large crowds on each trip. The rain in the evening did not stop the crowd on the last boat, which left Washington at 7:20 P M. The boat was compelled to make an extra trip to get all the people back to the city. The River View Park is in need of a great deal of repairing The funeral of Mrs. Eva Allen, who died on Sunday, August 1, at 1:40 p.m., at her residence, 2125 Tenth street northwest, was preached at the Metropolitan Baptist church, R.street between Twelfth and Thirteenth streets northwest, Wednesday, August 4, by Rev. M. D. Norman. She leaves to mourn her loss a husband, Charles H., four children, Martha Allen-Howard, Lawrence George, and Evelyn, five sisters, Jennie Downing, Margaret Jackson, Gertrude Embrey, Elizabeth Johnson and Martha Taylor; four brothers, Alexander, Charles, George- and William Taylor, and a host of relatives and friends. Mrs. Allen was formerly Miss Eva Taylor of Farquier, county, Va. There is to be a shake-up in the police department. The last shake-up was many years ago and some of the most famous detectives in the United States received a drop. The colored detectives in the police department have been assigned to work. Such a record is hard to be made and a promotion it hard to get. The last of Judge Siddons as commissioner of the District of Columbia will be a set back to worthy colored employees in the District government. Royal blood is judged by its ingredients.
