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.

MANY THOUSANDS EXPECTED Big Features Will Be Campfires at Which Will Be Held Reunions of Various Corps—Opportunity Will Be Afforded Veterans to Revisit Celebrated Battlefields. Washington. - Fifty years. ago the Union armies, fresh from the battlefields of the civil war and the surrender at, Appomattox, marched down Pennsylvania avenue in Washington. It was a grand review of the war scarred legions of Grant and Sherman, of Meade and Sheridan, and the other famous commanders whose "boys in blue" had preserved the Union. President Johnson and General Grant were in the reviewing stand as the veterans swung proudly past to the exulting music of their hands, while the battle flags that had flown on a hundred bloody fields waved over the triumphant host. This thrilling pageant of national interest will be reproduced as far as possible during the forty-ninth annual encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic, which will be held in Washington Sept. 27 to Oct. 3 next. It will be the fiftieth anniversary of the grand review. Thousands of the same veterans who marched in that [Name] review a half century ago uniformed in the Union blue will again keep step to martial music down Pennsylvania avenue and pass in parade before President Wilson and members of his cabinet. It will be the last time the veterans will march in Washington and the last time that hundreds of them will ever again attend an encampment, as the aged men are fast passing away. The Grand Army, which survived four years of campaign and never surrendered, will soon have to lower its standards, defeated by time, the only enemy able to vanquish the veterans. Because of the increasing death rate and the feebleness of the survivors of the great war it is probable that the Grand Army will never again hold a great encampment after the Washing ton event. As this gathering is the last in which many of them will participate and as the anniversary of the grand review is of such historic significance to them and the country, they will make great efforts to be in Washington in September. The encampment will therefore be the largest and most successful everheld by the organization The navy department will have a fleet of torpedo boat destroyers, submarines, gunboats and a cruiser attached from the Atlantic fleet and sent up the Potomac river to Washington, where the ships will remain during the encampment. A big feature will be campfires, at which will be held reunions of the various corps of the Union armies. Just below Washington, on the Potomac, is located Indian Head proving ground, where big guns for the navy or fortifications are tested before being placed on battleships or in our coast defenses. The veterans and visitors will have an opportunity to see the operations at Indian Head as well as scores of other places of interest in or around Washington. During encampment week opportunity will be afforded the veterans to revisit Bull Run, Antietam, Appomattox and other celebrated battlefields. At the last G. A. R. encampment held here in 1902 it was estimated by the railroads that about 70,000 persons attended the encampment. It is believed that because of the uniqueness of this encampment fully as many will attend the coming encampment. Colonel John McElroy, past senior vice commander in chief, has expressed great pleasure over the work of the accommodations committee, and he believes there will be no exorbitant charges by hotels, restaurants or rooming houses.

Haiti, the black republic, has been invaded by a great country. The Board of Education will not convene until September. Assistant Superintendent Bruce doesn't seem to improve. The Negro Business League will hold a big meeting in Boston, Mass. The Virginia Negro Exposition was a failure. The white people alone were benefited. Colored workmen are building Agbury. Were it not for the power Germany possess, would the United States hesitate to land marines? Little boys have been often jumped upon by big boys, when the big fellow knows that the little fellow is powerless. Nobody knows where Secretary Bryan stands at present. Perhaps Mr. Roosevelt does. If the allies win, Germany will go out of existence. O! if Germany wins, the world will be united into one German empire. A man who can not be a boss in politics attempts to be a boss at home and there he is often whipped. The late Col. Robert Ingersoll disliked a home boss, or the man who likes to boss women. The Prince George County public schools are making great progress under the presidency of the present superintendent. Normal school graduates of this city are invading the States. If Becker should be proven innocent at some future day, what methods will be adopted to restore him to life? A prosecuting attorney should, above all other people, be honest. Nobody but a consciousness man can be a prosecutor. There are only a few republicans left in the local government. The removal of Dr. William Tindall was a consternation to local republicans. Democrats have always held sway under the local government, even under republican administrations. Republicans will be taught lessons under this administration. The opening of the public schools will witness many surprises. The trustees will have a breathing spell for a while, at any rate. Montgomery, Gregory, Moore, Jackson, Brown, Hershaw, will be among those from whom the superintendent will make his next selection as his assistant superintendent of colored schools. Dr. C. W. Childs says that if he can be shown any offense that has been committed by the assistant superintendent of schools, or if Prof. Montgomery says that he wants to be superintendent of schools or is a candidate for the office, he (Childs) will vote to remove him. Dr. Childs wears green painted goggles, and no one can force him to wear any other kind. Villa lost his opportunity when Carranza offered to patch things up with him.

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. Thompson, pastor of Mt. Zlon M. E. church, who took for his text "Scapegoat." Lev. 16. 22. Rev. W. R. Gullins, pastor of Ebenezer A. M. E. church, delivered his famous lecture, "The Professional Liar," Friday evening, July 30, 1915, before a large audience, who enjoyed the many funny references in his subject of mirth and pleasure, which was very instructive throughout the entire lecture. The sacred song recital given Sunday afternoon at Ebenezer A. M. E. Church was very interesting, under the direction of Mrs. Florence Vessels. The program was a recitation by Miss L.

A Delightful Party and Trip. 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.

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 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.

Justice the Underlying Principle of the Mosaic Law—Difference Between Justice and Love—The Christian Obligated to Keep the Golden Rule. Justice In the Home, In Business, In the Church—Appreciation of the Rights of Others—Love's Victory Over Justice Through Self-Sacrifice. Springfield Mass., August 1. Pastor Russell is here in attendance upon the L. B. S. A. Convention assembled in our city. Today he delivered a strong discourse on the Golden Rule— "Whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so, to PASTOR RUSSELL them (Matthew 7.12). He said: No part of God's instructions to His Church is more important than this exhortation to justice. Everything that God does is based upon absolute justice, and He invites His people to be like Him to cultivate and develop in our characters the great qualities which He possesses, and which He has magnified and illustrated to us. Many have the thought that justice is a very ordinary matter, which practically everybody recognizes and follows. But such is not the case. Many would say, "Do you not know that we are Christians, and that to practise justice would naturally be the duty of all Christians? Why do you not rather exhort us to cultivate love?" We reply, Justice should always take precedence; we have no right to do less than justice to any member of the human family or, for that matter, even to an animal. The trouble with the whole world is the failure to recognize this very principle. Justice is the foundation of God's Throne. It is the basic principle upon which He would have us build character, and upon which He deals with all His creatures. It is because this principle of justice is not being recognized that the world is in trouble, and that the great tribulation is coming upon our race, the Scriptures assure us. While in mankind in general there is very little to love, yet every human being should receive justice. As followers of Christ, we are to be the foremost in exercising justice towards all. What a grand world this would be if every human being would resolve to carry out the instructions of this text? There would be no "doing" of a neighbor before he could "do" you; but there would be a sparing of the neighbor, a taking into account his weaknesses and his interests. Whoever would take advantage of another would do something contrary to the welfare of the other. As ye would, as Jesus said, that others should do to you, do ye even so to them. Justice the Basis of the Law. Thirty-five hundred years ago God called the Israelites out of Egypt. In substance He said to them, "Four hundred years ago I made a Covenant with Abraham that his Seed should bless the world. Are you ready to have that promise fulfilled to you?" They declared that they were ready. So He brought them to Mount Sinat, where they entered into a Covenant with Him to do whatever He directed. He gave them the Ten Commandments and said to them, "If you wish to be the Seed of Abraham that is to bless mankind, keep these commandments." That Law Covenant was based upon justice alone; it did not ask them to love their enemies. According to whelbor or not they would render justice would be the Divine decision as to their worthiness of being considered Abraham's Seed that would bless the world. But they were not able to render justice, to do to their, neighbor as they would that he should do to them. This failure was due to their falten condition, because sin had become ingrained in human nature. (Romans 3:20). The grapping disposition which has ever since manifested itself amongst that people began to appear; and so, although God bore with the nation for more than sixteen hundred years, not one of them obtained the reward of everlasting life which was offered to those who would keep the Law - Leritious 18:5; Romans 10:5. It is not an easy matter to keep that Law Covenant of Justice. We see that the Jews failed to do so. We know that the Apostle declared that by the deeds of the Law no imperfect flesh shall be saved. Nevertheless God says, "Unless you keep the Law, you shall not be the Seed of Abraham that will bless all the families of the earth." The Church and the Law. The Scriptures point out that the Church of Christ is the Spiritual Seed of Abraham. (Galatians 3:8, 16, 29). Therefore they are obligated to keep the Law. To enable them to do what no fallen flesh can do, God has made a special arrangement for the Church, though not for the Jewish nation, the typical people. Knowing that man- kind were so fallen that none could keep perfectly His Law. He sent His Son into the world to help our race Our Lord, being perfect, uncontaminated with the fallen race of Adam. "Holy, harmless, undefiled and separate from sinners," was able to keep the Divine Law and did so. Then, in obedience to the Divine will, He offered up Himself in a sacrificial sense. The merit of the life which He sacrificed constitutes a credit which, according to the Father's Plan, our Lord will give for Adam and his race, as their Ransom-price, at the end of the Gospel Age. As soon as our Lord shall have offered that merit to the Father, the whole world will be turned over to Him; and immediately He will begin His great work of ruling and blessing all the families of the earth. The long delay has been because of another part of the Plan. It was the Divine will that He should select a Church from the world, to share with Him the great future work of blessing humanity. Therefore He will not begin His Reign until the predestinated number of the Church class shall have been selected, tested, and changed by the power of the First Resurrection. Then the Spiritual Seed of Abraham will be complete. It is well to note that the Spiritual Seed of Abraham is not the natural kind. Even Jesus as a man could never have blessed the world. He could have set up a good human government, but could have no right to give life to the dead. Therefore He could never have rolled away the cause of death, with all its hopitants. So it was for Him to do something more than keep the Divine Law—something that Justice never required, something of self-sacrifice. Keeping the Law merely authorized Jesus to live forever; and if He had set up His Kingdom without King His life as a Kingdom, He could have blessed mankind; for all are les keeping the Law, Jesus pres- His body a living service, holy, capable to God, and His reasonable service of sacrifice—prompted by love. It is our first duty also to keep the Law, to live up to his standard as nearly as possible. But having enlisted under the banner of Christ, it additionally our duty to present our bodies a living sacrifice, as the who walk in His steps, faithful in death. Thus we Christians are able and beyond all other people. All are obligated to the Golden Rule of Justice, but we by love sooth us with the justice If we could, we would absolutely just in thought, wield and deed. But this we cannot do, for none of Adam's race can keep the Divine L. w. Selfishness is deeply meaned in our natural body; and by reason of this fact we fall to reach full perfection. But when we fail, we are not condemned; for with us the conditions are not the same as with the Jews. (Romanus S.I.) The blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us from all imperfection; the mercy of Christ covers all that we cannot do. This does not excuse us, however, from doing our very best. If with our hearts we recognize the Golden Rule we shall seek to conform even our thoughts to it. We shall think and speak as generously of our neighbor as we would wish him to think and speak of us. We shall act as generously toward him as we would wish him to act toward us. This principle would be exercised daily toward all. No matter how imperfect we are to begin with, the work of God's grace should more and more transform us, that we may be more and more like our Lord Jesus. How Love Fulfils the Law. As far as our hearts are concerned, we must become exact copies of God's dear Son, though not reaching His glorious standard. To that we may not attain while in the flesh. Daily we may need to ask Divine forgiveness for our shortcomings. But He who knoweth the heart is pleased to see us doing the best we can do, seeking to grow in grace, in knowledge and in all the requirements of the Divine standards. This was the disposition of our Lord Jesus; and the Father loves all who manifest the same spirit. It is no enough that we recognize the downward tendencies of sin, and start out to walk in God's ways of righteousness. If we have His Spirit we shall meditate on His character and copy His at tributes. Whoever seeks to do good to all will never wish to do less than justice. He would rather do more. Therefore the Apostle says, "Love is the fulfilling of the Law." When our Lord gave His Church a new commandment (John 13:34), it included everything that pertained to the Law. Whoever has this love will apreciate that it was love, not justice that led our Lord to leave the Heavenly glory and sacrifice His life on behalf of humanity. The Father did not command the Son to make this sacrifice. God does not command any one to sacrifice his personal interests on behalf of others. He had a Program to be carried out. If the Son desired to carry it out. He would receive the reward promised. So our Lord was quite willing to endure death itself, even death on the Cross, from love for the Father. Having the Father's disposition, He sympathized with fallen humanity. God had purposed to redeem mankind and to bring all the willing and obedient back to Divine favor and blessing. Our Lord Jesus longed to do this work. This was more than justice. If we have enlisted under His banner, to share with Him in the sufferings of this present life and in the future glory, honor and immortality, then we covenant to follow the Law of Love. "Love worketh no ill to his neighbor." Love would do more than keep the Mosleh Law. Love includes everything along the line of justice; it would lead one to sacrifice for his neighbor, for his friends and for his family. This is more than justice. Our Obligations to Others. Many of God's people seem not to realize that justice takes precedence of love. God requires justice; and if we have agreed to give Him more than justice, we are not thereby excused from rendering justice. Everywhere around us we find injustice. There are parents who do not deal justly with their children, who take advantage of their children in various ways. A parent owes it to his children not merely to bring them into the world and to get them to work for the family interests, but to provide them with a reasonable education and a religious home training. Each should know what are his own rights in the home and should observe the rights of others. A good man's sons might run away from home, but very seldom will a rightly trained child do so. In many homes the children are not treated according to the principles of justice. Often parents fail to realize the rights of grown sons and daughters, but continue to treat them as children. Parents should cultivate that broad sympathy which would enable them to help their children to decide all their affairs. As a child matures, there should be an independence of thought. Suddenly it breaks over the boundary; and if the child has been properly trained while the body has been growing, the youth is bound to think and act for himself, but will always seek the guidance of the parents. There are employees who have failed to give and employ all their reasonable rights, of course, one cannot give everybody all that each might ask; for some people would demand everything and then not be satisfied. But with the right kind of employer the employee does not find it necessary to ask for his rights. The employer will insist that he shall have them. Then there are people intent upon managing our friends. They are always telling others what to do and how to do it. We should be modest and respect the rights of others, but should not attempt to force our opinions upon them. When others ask us what to do and how to do it, then it is time to tell them, should we consider it proper to do so. If people come to me for advice I say to them, "If I were in your place, I think that I would do thus and so; but the matter is for you to decide." By speaking in this way, we put the responsibility upon the proper individual. Looking From the Opposite Side. We have spoken about the obligations of parents. Let us consider the obligations of children. The Golden Rule would say, As you would that your children should do to you when you become advanced in years, do even so to your parents. Children should get this viewpoint. If every child were taught along this line, when it reached maturity the parent would have no need to worry about the child's manifesting gratitude for the parent love and care which it has received. The parent would say, "My children have had the principles of justice so deeply ingrained from childhood that they would be entirely dissatisfied with anything wrong." We have spoken of the employer; let us now look at the employee. Imagine their positions reversed. What would each think it right to do for his employees or toward his employer? What would be the right kind of terms, the right kind of feeling? This course would bring about a great change between employers and employees. So as we consider what would be the right thing to do, and are willing to do what is right, we become more just in our dealings with all, including our business associates. Whether we buy or sell, there is a fair, reasonable way of dealing. It is wrong to buy so as to cause those who sell to lose money. We should be satisfied that the man who sells goods to us should make a reasonably fair profit. If we were selling, we should expect to make a reasonably fair profit, not an unjust one. The Golden Rule would regulate the matter. Justice In the Church. While the whole Church is built upon the principle that the Gospel Church are to lay down their lives for the brethren, nevertheless some of God's dear children fail to recognize the principles of justice in their dealings with each other. Whenever a difficulty arises, we need especially to examine our own hearts and conduct to see whether the fault be ours. These difficulties nearly always result from violation of the principle of justice. The foundation of God's Throne is Justice. The Church that is built according to His arrangement is based upon this same principle. Each member may yield his own rights, but he must not transgress those of others. We should be very glad to see others act justly toward us; but we should not necessarily stand 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 in business we should use good judgment in the doing of God's will rather than in taking advantage of others. As we do this, we are cultivating the spirit of justice. Do we not see how this applies in every direction? For instance, God's Law was originally given to Adam; God's Justice inflicted the death penalty for the breaking of that Law. He would not set 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 interest of the Lord, the Truth and the brethren and by thus doing, we are really conserving our own best interests and are growing in grace, in knowledge and in character-likeness to our God. WISEST KING MISLED 1 Kings 12:1-23—August 8. Israel's Wiseat King Becomes Mort Foolish—Dissatisfaction Amongst the People—Solomon's Son and Successor—Revolt of the Ten Tribes—The Two Kingdoms—Reunited After the Babylonian Captivity—Lessons From King Rehoboam's Experience. *Pride goeth before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.*—Proverbs 16:18. first half. The king rested upon the marvels of the early part of his reign, became more and more interested in foreign affairs, and multiplied the number of his wives and of his troubles. The wealth represented in the great public improvements was really public wealth, in which all the people were interested; but the king's subsequent greater attention to personal aggrandizement was not in the interest of the nation, but merely favorable to certain classes. Although neither rebellion nor protest was made against King Solomon, so far as the records show, nevertheless the people concluded to have a change in the kingdom under his son and successor, Rehobom. This dissatisfaction was mainly in the ten tribes. The two tribes, in whose territory was the capital city, were satisfied with the great improvements which had come to them. Jerusalem had been favored out of all proportion to the remainder of the country. The other tribes had shared in a general conscription of labor at a comparatively small compensation, and felt that even-handed justice had not been rendered them. The Kingdom Divided. King Rehoboam's coming to the throne was the signal for a protest and a demand that the king guarantee the people against oppression-a de- mand very similar to that in connection with the Magna Charta. The demand was made at the time of the king's coronation. Then came representatives of the ten tribes, with Jeroboam as leader, saying, "Make thou the grievous service of thy fa- mand very similar to that in connection with the Magna Charta. The demand was made at the time of the king's coronation. Then came representatives of the ten tribes, with Jeroboam as leader, saying, "Make thou the grievous service of thy father and his heavy yoke which he put upon us lighter, and we will serve thee." King Rohoam. 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 Ithobomn; so he inquired of his personal friends, younger men of his acquaintance. These gave opposite advice. Their thought was that to yield to the people would be merely to start rebellious demands which eventually would be unendurable. The king agreed with them. But the ten tribes were not intimidated. They withdrew, refusing to participate in the anointing of Rehoam as their king. Only two tribes, Judah and Benjamin, remained loyal to Rehoam. Thus the kingdom of Israel was divided. Thereafter the ten tribes maintained the title Kingdom of Israel, and the two tribes were called the Kingdom of Judah, for over five hundred years—until the return from Babylonian captivity. Since the captivity, the name Israel has stood for the entire twelve tribes, as at first, being so used by Jesus and the Apostles; and the name Jews was similarly used for all in covenant relationship with God. The great majority never returned. But others of them, remaining loyal to God and going to Jerusalem annually at the feast, as directed by God's Word, continued to be known as members of "the twelve tribes scattered abroad." Many of these came into contact with the Truth in the days of the Apostles. Justice the Golden Rule. Lessons from the past are valuable. Pride has accomplished much harm. All will agree that the wise men advised Rehoboam properly, to the effect that a ruler should be his people's servant; and that thus his kingdom would be enduring and his people blessed. Their advice amounted to an admonition that King Rehoboam and The Old Men. A the king should observe the Golden Rule—that he should do to them, and for them, as he would that they should do to him, were conditions reversed. The Golden Rule, laid down by the great Head of Christianity, is despised and rejected as impracticable; but we hold that it has not had a trial. Those who have the power have always feared to trust the Golden Rule in their dealings with the people. Political parties, clamoring for something like the Golden Rule, have time and again climbed into power, only to refuse to use the rule after gaining the opportunity, contending that conditions made it impossible. Soon, however, it will have a world-wide test, and will demonstrate that it is the only rule by which human happiness can be permanently secured. Messiah's Kingdom will give mankind compulsory education along this line for 1,000 years.
