Washington Bee

IF IT'S NEWS, IT'S IN THE BEE, FOR THE BEE IS A NEWSPAPER. THE BEE WASHINGTON Congressional Library Anglo's Best and Leading Negro Newspaper That's THE BEE VOL. XXXVI, NO. 12 WASHINGTON, D.C., SATURDAY, AUGUST 21, 1915 THE NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE The Greatest Event in the History of the Organization.—Banker John W. Lewis Electrifies the Crowded Assembly.—His Great Speech on Banks and Banking Was a Lesson Highly Appreciated.—One of the Greatest Speeches Delivered Thus Far. Special to The Bee. Boston, Mass., Aug. 26.—Perhaps one of the greatest and most effective speeches ever delivered before the Negro Business League, of which Dr. Booker T. Washington is president, was by John W. Lewis, president of the Industrial Savings Bank of Washington, D. C. Mr. Lewis is a medium sized gentleman, who assumes an air of a millionaire and the appearance of J. Plerpont Morgan, came to the platform this morning in the presence of about 2,000 people and in a pointed and eloquent speech, told his hearers what he knew about Banks and Banking No. Lewis sold "Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen of the National Negro Business: My subject, 'Banks and Banking' is by no means a new one. Solomon has aptly said, 'There is no new thing under the sun.' "Traces of credit by compensation and by transfer orders are found in Assyria, Phoenicia and Egypt. Clay tablets in the British Museum taken from the ruins of Babylon show that as far back as the days of Nebudchadnezar, loans of silver at interest were made and loans secured by mortgage on land. "In Babylon banking was carried on as early as 700 B. C. This seems to be the first firm. The Chines understood the use of paper money hundreds of years before the European nations, and established a bank about A. D. 1000. But banking as we understand it did not come before 1584. Bank of Venice was established in 1171. The Bank of Sweden in 1656. This bank still exists. The Bank of England was founded in 1694; the Bank of France in 1800. You will notice that the great financial institutions of the world count their ages by the hundreds and hundreds of years. We may be somewhat disappointed at the slowness with which Negro banks have come into existence, and the slowness with which they have increased their financial resources. But, Mr. President, the reason is easily seen. We do not know the value of money; we have never been taught to save. We have never been taught the lesson, "Look after the pennies, nickels, and dimes, and the dollars will look after themselves." Evidences of this are seen every minute of the day in our race; viz., if sugar if $5\frac{1}{2}$ cents a pound, lard $12\frac{1}{2}$ cents, meat $12\frac{1}{2}$ cents, we buy one pound, three pounds, and the like, without ever stopping to think how we can save those half pennies and what they mean. Take a pound of tea, 16 ounces, which sells for 50 cents. What do we do? We send to the store for 5 cents' worth. This is done day after day, thus paying 80 cents for that pound of tea. Any time the child, and even the adult, say to the merchant, "Give me 10 cents' worth of meat, if the meat is $12\frac{1}{2}$ cents per pound, you get about three-quarters of a pound, and there is saved to the merchant about 3 cents on the pound. My friends, there is scarcely a person under the sound of my voice, who has not witnessed the above. What are we going to do about it? Can't we learn from that merchant of merchants, the Jew? He knows our weakness and preys on it. He opens his shop or shops in our midst and smiles and bows, pets our children, gives them cake and candy until he catches the old flies. That is his molasses in a few years he is able to move in larger and more spacious quarters. He has grown rich off our pennies, nickels, and dimes. Why are our Banks Few? Mr. President, we have a population in round numbers of ten millions, and these ten millions of people spend yearly between three and five hundred millions of dollars. We have the people. We have the money. Why haven't we the banks. One reason is, we do not know how to manage and operate a bank. We have no opportunity to serve as apprentices, and thus become proficient in conducting the same. We only learn by doing. Let us have more banks. The Negro in the employment of a white bank is there as a messenger, janitor, or watchman. He is not promoted for faithful service, honesty, education, nor ideal character. No reward for him save a few extra dollars at Christmas time. A second good reason: Negroes who have money just simply prefer to walk in the old paths of their parents, and deposit in white banks. Mr. President, NO depositors mean NO bank. The white man likes to handle and control the negro's money, paying him 2, 3 and 4 per cent interest, and charging him 6, 7; and 8 per cent and a bonus for lending it back to him. They employ men to solicit the influential negro, and they advertise Mr. A and B deposit here as a magnet to draw thousands of other depositors. Mr. President, I live in the capital of the with a population in and arc in on of 125,000 colored people with more culture and intel- ligence it is said, than any other city in the country. For necessities of life it costs them $75,00 a year per capita; in other words, it costs $9,375,000 for necessities. Twenty per cent of this amount would give $1,875,000 and with this amount we can build 300 houses at a rental value of $79,200 a year, or $22 month each; one wholesale grocery store with a capital of $50,000; one shoe store with a capital of $50,000; one department store with a capital of $100,000, and two banks with a paid-up capital of $250,000, leaving a balance in a reserve fund of $175,000. This 20 per cent. would make business that would require 530 people at a salary from $8 to $20 per week. In December, 1905, with three men and two women, viz., John Staley, L. B. Williams, Susie P. Robb, the late Rowena Lumpkins, and your humble servant (John W. Lewis), with assets amounting to thirteen dollars and fifty cents, we organized the Laborers' and Mechanics' Realty Company. Today that corporation has a paid up capital of $20,000, with assets of over $75,000, and has paid a dividend of 5 per cent for four years. When this league was in session in Philadelphia in 1913 we had just opened in Washington, a shoe store of which Mr. Richard Ware is proprietor and about the same time a gent's furnishing store, Mr. Robert Harlan, proprietor, just a few doors from the shoe store. Both of these enterprises have outgrown their original quarters and Mr. Ware's shoe store is now a department store, on the popular Fourteenth street northwest, with a delivery car, a growing business and several clerks. The Harlan haberdashery is now on Seventh street northwest, another business street, in a store 25x60, well stocked, two salesmen and a delivery wagon, with everything looking prosperous. We have twenty-seven drug stores, two as fine insurance companies as can be found in the country, employing 700 young men and women as clerks and agents. Grocery stores finners, contractors are numerous and new ventures are cropping up all over town. There is a business revival especially in the northwest and You street from Seventh to Fourteenth is on a business boom among our people. In February, 1913, the Industrial Savings Bank was organized and began business May 1, 1913. On June 4, 1913, this bank's assets amountes to $3,170.43 and 108 depositors, and at the close of business June 30, 1915, the assets were $31,995.97 and the depositors 997. And so, Mr. President, members of the League, Ladies and Gentlemen, there is a bright day ust ahead for Banks and Banking and business in general in the magnificient city of Washington. We are hopeful and we firmly believe that the day will come when the greatest Negro Bank of the land will be housed in Washington and some of the great merchants of the future will be the men who are struggling today laying a foundation for future mercantile greatness. Our salvation is through the home, church and school. In every high and Normal school a bank should be installed, giving the student not only a personal lesson in thrift, but also a practical lesson in banks and banking. Such a system is already in vogue in the Armstrong Manual Training School of Washington, D. C., of which Prof. Garnett Wilkinson is principal. Until the preacher preaches and the teacher teaches faith in our own, we need not expect any rapid growth. Mr. President, if I were a voice, a persuasive voice that could travel the wide world through, I would pray, preach and sing "Negro business, Negro combination, Negro co-operation." Let me close, Mr. President, by invoking upon you, your officers and members of the League, Heaven's blessings and God's guidance. May this session from the standpoint of actual good accomplished, be the banner session, and may we all return to our several homes in safety, feeling it was good for us to have been here. Howard Dental Parlors Do Their Own Work. The expert dentists at the Howard Dental Parlors, corner Seventh and T, do not send their crown and bridge or plate work out to dental laboratories to be made by mechanics without dental training, and who have never seen the patient's mouth. This is the custom with nearly all other dentists in the city. Only dentists who have the expert ability to do their own work are permitted to work in this institution, which has the best equipped laboratory in the city for their use. Therefore, the patients at this institution receive the most satisfactory dental work to be obtained, completed by the man who is operating in the mouth, and is familiar with conditions, besides possessing the dental training necessary to see the whole job through. That's why the work is guaranteed. Also, the patient saves the additional expense that the other dentists charge to pay the laboratory man. The Howard Dental Parlors can do dental work better and cheaper than and better than any place in the city. Open until 10 o'clock. See sample work in show case downstairs. Rev. Howard to Speak. Rev. W. J. Howard, no doubt one of the most progressive ministers in this city, will be one of the speakers at the republican rally in Eureka Park, September 8th. WASHINGTON, D.C., SATURDAY, AUGUST 21, 1915 JOHN W. LEWIS. Makes a great speech before the Negro Business League at Boston, Mass., on "Banks and Banking." White Brute Accused of Assaulting and Murdering Colored Girl in Hotel—Accused in Hands of Police—Criminals Confined to no Particular Race. Nashville, Tenn., Aug. 10.—Charged with brutally assaulting and then murdering Irene Hawkins, a colored girl employed as a chambermaid in the Savoy Hotel, Seventh avenue, N., E. J. Seymour, purporting to be a traveling man from Chicago, Ill., stopping at that hostelry, is being held by Murder Officers Jay Newsum and George Carter in bonds of $2,500. Sunday afternoon, July 25, the girl was seen in the room occupied by Seymour, where she was performing her duties as chambermaid. Twenty minutes later the girl's body was discovered, bruised and mangled in the alleyway directly underneath the window of the room occupied by Seymour. Patrolman Carney found Seymour at the station, just about to board a train for Chicago, and put him under arrest. The coroner started an investigation on Monday, and on Tuesday his jury returned a verdict charging Seymour with violating the girl and then murdering her. Ada Stokes, another maid at the hotel, testified that Seymour, a few days earlier, had attempted to keep her in the room with him, but that she refused, and that she barely escaped from the room before he could succeed in locking the door on her. After that she took pains to see that the man was absent from the room before she entered it. The evidence showed that Seymour had evidently beaten and assaulted the girl before throwing her from the window. ATTORNEY SCOTT. Will Tour to Atlantic City in His New Car. Attorney A. W. Scott, who was in jured some weeks ago, is able to be up and out, again. Thursday morning, accompanied by Mr. C. W. Childs. Jr., he motored from his home, 1822 Eleventh street northwest, to Atlantic City and New York in his handsome car, which was recently purchased. After a stay in Atlantic City for a few days, they will motor to New York. Mr. Childs is an expert operator and a most congenial companion to be with. Accompanying Attorney Scott was also his very amiable wife and little Armon Scott, Jr. The party came past the Bee office before they left to bid The Bee a good-bye. Mr. Childs, who was at the wheel, looked like a Grecian chariot driver, and will pilot the happy company to Atlantic City The Bee wishes its friends, including Mr. Childs, its best wishes, an enjoyable trip, and a safe reurn. JOSEPH T. SETTLE DEAD. A Great Negro Lawyer and Politician Passes Away—Well Known Throughout the Country. Memphis, Tenn., August 16, 1915. Mr. Josiah T. Settle, sr., the well-known lawyer and orator, died here this afternoon at 5:30 o'clock, after an illness that was somewhat prolonged. Mr. Settle was a man of national reputation as a lawyer, a speaker and a politician. He was born in North Carolina about sixty-seven years ago. His family moved to the state of Ohio when he was a mere boy. Here he attended school and finally entered Oberlin College where he remained till his junior year. He then went to Howard University at Washington where he graduated in the first class sent out by that renowned institution. He also graduated at the Howard Law School. During his years at the University he was recognized as one of the most brilliant young men of his race, both as a student and a speaker. He was a clerk in the Freedmen's Bureau under Gen. Howard and also a clerk in one of the branches of the old District Legislature at Washington during the rule of Alexander Shepherd, the man who made the nation's capital the beautiful city, that it is. Mr. Settle went to Mississippi during the last days of the Reconstruction period. He became a member of the legislature and was a candidate for a seat in Congress when the shot gun rule drove out the Republicans. He then went to Memphis, Tenn., and there entered upon the career of a lawyer that made him famous. He was easily one of the most brilliant attorneys the race has produced and was able to measure arms successfully with the best white lawyers of the South. He was at one time assistant attorney general for Shelby county, Tenn., and in this position proved himself to be a brilliant prosecutor. In politics, Mr. Settle was a radical Republican and the leading force among the colored voters of his section of the state, sharing the honors in Republican conventions of his state with his warm personal friend and college companion, the Hon J. C. Napier. Mr. Settle leaves a widow and two sons, Mrs. Fannie McCullough Settle, and Josiah T. and Temoy Settle. Young Josiah Settle has just been admitted to the bar in Tennessee, after a course in the Howard University Law School, Temoy Settle is still a student in the Academic department at Howard. MR. BRUCE'S SUCCESSOR. The Same Rule Apply to Mr. Bruce That Apply to the Teacher. That Apply to the Teacher. Assistant Superintendent Roscoe C. Bruce, who continues ill at his home will not be able to resume the work when' school opens. If reports are true, his condition will not justify him assuming charge for three months, if then. Mr. Bruce is a very sich man. A teacher who is out of school on account of sickness for two months, is recommended to be dropped. There is no reason that the same rule would not apply to Mr. Bruce. If he is physically incapacitated to assume his duties, Dr. Thurson should, in justice to the colored schools, recommend other assistant superintendent at once. He should have some one in mind. There are men of great ability who would give satisfaction. Some one has suggested Judge Terrell. It is true that he made a number one principal of the Colored High, and no doubt would make' a good superintendent o schools. The colored members of the board of education should get to gether and recommend someone to Dr. Thurston at once. Supervisor Principal Walker, Prof Gregory, and others suggested by the Sage this week would be acceptable to the people. A Correction in the Heading Under Cut In last week's issue of the Bee, under cut of Mr. A. F. Jackson, the Bee was made to say that a great colorado democrat was turned down. The type should have said that a "great colored decorator was turned down." Mr Jackson is an American citizen, a painter and decorator of the highest order, and popular with the people Rev, Dean informed the Bee that Mr. Jackson failed to see him. For what reason the well-known and enterprising pastor failed to state. The Great Philosopher Speaks The Great Philosopher Speaks. An audience of about two hundred assembled at the Lincoln Memorial Congregational Temple Tuesday evening to listen to Dr. W. E. DuBols lecture on the pageant which it is proposed to present here at the American League Baseball Park during the week commencing October 10, 1915 Dr. DuBols went somewhat into the history and function of the pageant, and set forth the plot of the pageant which he has created to illustrate the progress of the Negro from the days of his dwelling in Africa down to the present time. He told his audience that it would cost four thousand dol- A. F. JACKSON. DR. DUBOIS. lars to produce the pageant, of which amount he had about three thousand dollars in hand, the gifts of white philanthropists; that is was desired that a citizen's committee in Washington be organized to raise one thousand dollars out of which rent of park, and cost of music with other incidentals should be paid; that should the citizen's committee do this, it is agreed that it should receive two-thirds of the net proceeds of the pageant. A beginning was made and more than $250 was pledged at the meeting. Those who pledged amounts at the meeting will meet Tuesday night, August 17, 1915, at the same place, perfect a permanent organization and continue the work of raising the one thousand dollars agreed as the part of the local people. GRAND COMMITTEE Of G. U. O. of O. F. to Arrange for the Eighteenth B. M. C. Incorporation. On Tuesday last there was filed in the office of the Recorder of Deeds for the District of Columbia, a certificate incorporating the grand committee to arrange for the eighteenth internatin al meeting in this city of the G.U. O. of O. F., the second week in September, 1916. The incorporators, who will also act as a board of managers or directors are James H. Coleman, Jno. C. Norwood, William B. Harris, Walter J. Abrams, William C. Martin, John W. Lewis and Charles H. Marshall. The certificate was filed through Attorney W. C. Martin, who is a Past District Grand Master of the Order in this jurisdiction. Pursuant to the rules governing the meeting of the biennial movable committee a delegated meeting, composed of five members from each of the thirty-one subordinate lodges, two P. G. M. Councils and two Patriarchs, met at Odd Fellows' Hall, 1606 M street northwest, July 9th last, and unanimously elected the following officers: James H. Coleman, chairman; J. C. Norwood, vice chairman; W. B. Harris, recording secretary; W. J. Abrams, assistant recording secretary; and J. W. Lewis, treasurer. On motion, a resolution was adopted authorizing said officers to complete the organization, appoint the necessary committees, etc., and report to the general committee, July 30. The general committee met pursuant to adjournment, and the chairman, J. H. Coleman, announced that the first business in order was the election of a corresponding secretary, and that the officers elected at the last meeting being mindful of the fact that much of the work would fall upon the corresponding secretary, they had selected W. C. Martin, whose ability, knowledge of the order, and consequent efficiency was not only beyond question, but whose time was at his own disposal. The selection was accepted, and Mr. Martin was unanimously elected. The officers of the grand committee are as follows: J. H. Coleman, chairman; Jno. C. Norwood, vice-chairman; W. B. Harris, recording secretary; W. C. Martin, corresponding secretary; J. W. Lewis, treasurer. As the international biennial meeting of the G. U. O. of O. F. to be held here in September, 1916, for which the grand committee has began to make preparation, will be by far the largest gathering of delegates and members in the history of the Order, the Bee will publish from time to time such news and progress made by the committee on arrangements as may be of interest to the people in the District. Next week the Bee will publish the names of the members of the executive committee and various sub-committees. A DENIAL. August 19, 1918. To the Editor of The Bee and all whom it may concern: It has come to my knowledge today of a rumor being circulated by some malicious person, as coming from me, that the excursion given by the wardens and yestermen of St. Luke's Church P. E., had been called off, the grounds not being in proper condition, etc. That is a delibrate lie. I attended the People's Church Excursion Monday, 16th inst., and enjoyed myself very much and spoke in terms of praise to all with whom I came in contact, both as to grounds and boat, considering the short time the management had to prepare the place. LABOR DAY. Great Time at Keys—Hundreds Will Visit the Old Homestead. The Keystone Driving Park at Silver Hill, Md., formerly owned by the great Robert H. Keys, now owned by his nephew Mr. W. H. Keys will reopen Labor Day with an all-day picnic and all-night ball. This famous resort is well-known to the lovers of sport and pleasure. This Labor Day picnic will be the institution of a series of entertainments at this famous resort. See particulars elsewhere. STATE BAZAAR. The first annual state bazaar and carnival will be held Thursday, September 2. on the farm of Stephen Watkins, Elliott City, Md. This will be one of the greatest events in the history of the citizens of Elliott City. Automobiles from this city and their owners will t: in this bazaar and carnival' . in particulars printed elsewhere in this week's Bee. AT MOUNTAIN VIEW Harper's Ferry, W. Va., Aug. 18. Though late in the season the number of guests at Mt. View House for the past week has been hovering around the perfect per cent. mark. Many more are coming in, and it looks like a crowd to Labor Day. The annual ball last Saturday night was a howling success. The college gymnastium, in which the ball was given, was beautifully decorated by the lady guests. The music was furnished by the college orchestra, Col. J. W McKeny, director. Mr. Harry W. Carnell, Mrs. Carnell the Misses Carnell and Miss Irick of Washington, motored in early Saturday morning. They were accompanied by Dr. Milton Francis, Mrs. Francis and Miss Addie Weeden. Mr. Carnell's party left Sunday morning for Martinsburg, Va. Dr. Francis left Monday morning for his professed duty at Freedmen's Hospital. Mr. W. Grayer Williams, who passed through Mt. View last week, returned Saturday with Mrs. Williams and her mother, Mrs. B. B. Anderson. After a rest and dinner Mrs. Anderson and Mrs. Williams left for Washington, leaving Mrs. Williams to spend some weeks at Mt. View. Mrs. Elizabeth Johnson, matron at Y. M. C. A., and Mrs. Cora Fisher spent the week end at Mt. View. Others who spent the week end were Mr. L. C. G. Bunton, Y. M. C. A., Washington, D. C.; Attorney L. G Gregory, Detective R. L. Carroll and Dr. J. R. Wilder. Sunday morning, about one hour late of schedule time, F. Morris Murry in his massive Studebaker plunged into Mt. View grounds with his party of seven—the Murry brothers (three). Dr. I. A. Boyd, Mr. Word, the chaufeur, Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Foster. The Murry Bros. are the printers at 17th and S streets, Washington, D. C. Mr. Foster is of the Foster's Dye Works, cor. 11th and You streets. Mr. Foster was much alive, although he dyes every day. Labor Day and week-end promises to be a big time at Mt. View. Already eighteen automobile parties have pledged their intention to motor up. This season has broken all other previous records, and even now Mr. Martin, the proprietor, says he has a full house booked until Labor Day week. List of Guests of Hotel Dale. Rev. E. W.

There was a political cyclone passed from the United States attorney's office last week. I knew it would come. I felt it. Of course my friend Cobb assured us all that he was as safe as the rocks of Gibraltar. If the allies could pass these rock as easily as Jim Cobb passed through the middle and landed in Boston to bother Booker to tell him how it happened, the European war would come to a close. There "an't no" use for a person to think that he has a fee simple deed or a government office What I can't understand is this: If the office of assistant United States attorney was abolished, how could my friend Cobb resign? From a legal standpoint, it was not necessary for him to hand in his resignation. If he resigned, why was he not given 30 days with pay? Now, to reason out this declaration from a philosophical standpoint would make this legal philosophy inconsistent, and place my friend Cobb in an embarrassing position. Speaking of "this here" resignation, some one said that Mr. Cobb was polite and obedient to duty. Of course, a colored man who is polite acts in the capacity of a servant, in the estimation of some people. I thought he had a cinch on the office. My friend, Oklahoma Patterson, was urged for the place, but it was said that the United Attorney, Mr. Laskey, refused to consent to the removal of Mr. Cobb, and the President is reported to have said if Mr. Cobb is to be removed, he wanted a colored democrat in the place; if not, Mr. Cobb should remain. This was a sudden blow, so sudden that it surprised Mr. Cobb. There are no offices held by any colored men but clerkships, and in these positions they are being demoted transferred, or dismissed I always liked Jim Cobb, because he would attend to his own business. He was more of a friend to the colored lawyers than many of them were to him. There was nothing vicious about him. It could not be said that he was incompetent. He was one of the best in the United States' attorney's office, and equal to any of white. The fact is, a white democrat had to be provided for, and Mr. Cobb was the victim to be sacrificed. Many reports are circulated that Lord Fauntleroy Roscoe C. Bruce is a very ill man. I regret his illness, but using Mr. Bruce's own language and applying quick action to his words, when he dealt or has dealt with others when they became physically incapacitated, is to remove them. Mr. Bruce is incapacitated in three different ways. First, he is physically incapacitated to assume charge of the schools again. Second, his usefulness in the schools has come to an end; and thirdly, he has lost the confidence of the people Under these circumstances, Dr Thurston will be compelled to look about him for a new assistant superintendent of the colored schools. There must be a change in the office of assistant superintendent of the colored schools. It is the duty of the Board of Education to recommend to Dr. Thurston another man for the place. If Mr. Bruce returns, he can not command the respect and confidence of the teachers and patrons of the schools. He is physically unable to return to the schools in time to assume charge. It is the duty of Dr Thurston, therefore, to appoint a new assistant superintendent of schools at once. There is no reason for the colored schools to suffer because of the lack of head. There are a dozen men from whom a selection could be made. There should be no favoritism or sentiment in this matter. Prof. L. M. Hershaw is an educator and a man of great executive ability. Prof. Du Bois, Prof. Thomas M. Gregory, Supervisors Walker and Montgomery are men acceptable to the people. The teachers' choice is Prof. Montgomery. He is a popular idol, and a man who will bring the colored schools out of present chaotic condition. In speaking of the colored schools, The Sage wants to inform those who are responsible for present conditions that Congress at its next session will recommend a Confirmation of Education who will have entire control of the schools. The entire Board of Education will be 'abolished and the schools placed under the control of the Commissioners of the District of Columbia. Whether this would be the best thing or not, I would not like to say. If existing democratic conditions point correctly, I am of the opinion that it will be a dangerous thing to do, unless the schools are taken out of politics. A very few white republicans are given very much consideration under the present administration. The chocolate brown who promenade You street will have to seek other employment if things continue to go as they are. Reverting to the removal of Mr. Cobb again, what can be hoped for the colored democrat who cast so many thousands colored votes for the democratic party. My friend Peyton, who contributed $25 cash out of his inside pocket and a pamphlet, entitled "Why I Supported Wilson," of which 25,000 were printed by the local democratic committee, only received for his trouble and loyalty to the democratic administration a penniless job as a member of the Board of Education, which will cause him to lose sleep, flesh, money, reputation, and probably divorce his good and loyal wife and children, and lose his lucrative practice. Keep your eyes on the Old Sage and, consult him at Dr. Board's every evening after six o'clock. Doctor is high member of the balting club, of which Andrew J. Thermos is president, and his manager, R. B. Byars an expelled member. Mr. Byars is going to Texas for his health, with Judge Terrell to explain the beauties of nature. Now, what are we to do without our Byars. Those mighty and balting looks he always give to the chocolate drops as they pass by. The St. Louis "Poro" College Force 1 2 3 With Byars away from Howard, it is like Hamlet left out from the play of that name. Byars, meet me at Dr. Boards', and let's talk, it over. REAL ESTATE DEALER AND OWNER Praises The Bee for the His Success. Alexandria, Va., August 16, 1915. Hon. William Calvin Chase, Editor of The Bee, Washington D. C. Dear Sir: I enclose herewith check to cover the cost of advertising in The Bee another month. The advertisement has brought phenominal results. I have several other good farm properties in Northern Virginia some within commuting distance of Washington, which I am selling cheap and on easy terms which I shall advertise later. Farms that can be bought by colored people are somewhat under the same rule as city property so far as segregation goes. Many ads in the daily papers read thus: "For Colored," "For Colored, People," etc. Colored persons will do well to avail themseles of the opportunity to buy truck, dairy and poultry farms whenever they are offered at the right price. Truck properties will serve as a modest home when you tire of city life; then too, it is inexpensive and healthy living. I have for future advertising several more of those lots that I have been selling at Sunnyside, Alexandria county Va. This is destined to be one of the most fashionable colored sub-divisions near the city of Washington, commutation only six cents on the Washington-Virginia Electric Railwav. A number of Washingtonians have bought lots already and others are fast falling in line. Lawyer Thomas M. Watson, the owner of the sub-division whose office is at 504 E street northwest, built a beautiful residence last winter at a cost of $7,000. Architect I. T. Hatton & Co., our well-known and capable architect designed the house which is really a dream and an ornament to that section of the country.

Every aid, financial and otherwise, will be given by Mr. Watson.

The boulevard is being constructed by the general government and the county of Alexandria jointly, at a cost of $90,000 or $22,500 per mile for the four miles of road from the east gate of Arlington National Cemetery to Alexandria, Va.

The "Poro" System is one which appeals to each individual, for every man and woman, boy and girl is interested in the sanitary condition of his or her scalp and hair, and the most effective way by which this can be done is the scientific manner as is found alone in this system In Mrs. A. M. Pope-Turnbo-Malone, the founder, we have a genius; one who can build a business of such magnitude must do so at a sacrifice. She has given to her women the only systematic method of scalp and hair treatment, protecting them by a system of contracts and diplomas, and giving to the numberless patrons the results they have spent so much time and money in search of. She is accomplishing her one chief aim: to push her girls and women higher. In her unassuming manner she is easily the one woman in her profession. .

The Rascal Whiper has read a great deal first and last about Thomas Jefferson being a Protectionist. At any rate, Tom never busted the country with a Free-Trade Tariff law and then attempted to set things on foot by palming off on the people a special tax to meet the deficit and call it a "war tax." But, then, it should not be forgotten that Thomas Jefferson was a real Democrat, not a galvanized Socialist, a thinly veneered Populist or a traveling Anglomaniac. Besides, Mr. Jefferson always took his licker straight, as became a Virginia gentleman, and never sought to rape his stomach with such miserable substitutes as grape juice and similar slops.—Moravian Falls (N.

UNIQUE ENTERTAINMENT One of the most unique entertainments that has ever taken place in this city was the Clothes Line entertainment and reception by the Young Men's Club of the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church Wednesday evening at the residence of Mr. J. C. Reeves, jr., 1526 Tea street northwest. The event was new and enjoyable. The yard was beautifully decorated with Chinese lanterns and the artistic arrangement of the tables in the beautiful yard in the rear gave the appearance of a Roman holiday. The affair was most successful from a numerical and financial standpoint. Mr. Reeves made every effort, as he always does, to see that everybody was cared for. This club, under the presidency of Mr. John W. Lee, has made wonderful progress; it is an adjunct to the church. The officers are: John W. Lee, president; George N. Berry, vice president; Mr. Jenifer, second vice president; Dolan B. Yates, financial secretary; Jesse J. Simms, recording secretary; Emory S. Heywood, treasurer; Richard W. Turner, Chapain; Thdmas Wynn, sergeant-at-arms; Erastus Moten, chairman of the entertainment committee; and Henry Parker, chairman of the ways and means committee. After the guests had enjoyed to their fullest extent the most excellent repast that had been prepared by the committee, Mr. Harry Parker, one of the most genial and entertaining young men and chairman of the ways and means, committee, called the attention of the guests to the most unique feature of the entertainment, which was not only laughable but enjoyable, in which the editor of The Bee and many others participated. A clothesline was hung the full length of the rear reception room with several pairs of beautiful clothespins and cards were hung. Mr Parker and his assistant would tie a handkerchief over the eyes of those who wanted to ring the clothes pins upon the line blindfolded. The ladies were more successful than the men. Every lady, more or less was successful in ringing the pin, but the men were failures. They couldn't see in the dark, but the ladies could. This feature was enjoyed by everybody. At the conclusion of the ringing of the pin, Mr. Harry Parker in a neat little speech presented each successful ringer and those who held a prize ticket with their prizes. Mrs. Epps, of the Florida Avenue Baptist Church, won the first prize; Miss F. P. Edwards, the second prize.

August 15.-Pastor Russell delivered a very interesting discourse here today on the text, "Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world?" (1 Corinthians 6:2.) He spoke as follows: Much confusion prevails through failure to understand the Divine application of justice in the world affairs. Hitherto we have not studied our Bibles with sufficient care, but have jumped at conclusions and endangered to make the Bible at them. In every man there is some appreciation of justice, some realization that punishment ought to be inflicted for wrong-doing. Even those who practise wrong recognize this principle, and are ready to condemn others and to assist in punishing them, even though hoping to escape the fruit of their own sin. The Bible clearly teaches that to some extent national judgments and punishments have been in progress for centuries, but that individual reckonings with Divine Justice are for the future—except as violations of Nature's laws continually bring retribution. It is in view of this fact that the Lord's judgment is future that Christians are exhorted. "Judge nothing before the time." Our incomplete knowledge renders even the most saintly liable to error of judgments Christians have the promise that before their work as judges begins they will be qualified for it by a glorious change from earthly imperfection to Heavenly completeness in story, honor and immortality. The Scriptures discriminate sharply between the judgment of the Church and the judgment of the world; and to read our Bibles intelligently we must thus discriminate. God has not ignored sin during the past six thousand years. He is punishing the whole world every day. The penalty specified in the Bible is death; and our race is dying at the rate of one hundred thousand daily—exclusive of the great mortality occasioned by the European war. This death penalty has concomitants of trouble leading up to it—sickness, sorrow, pain—all of which are really parts of the dying process, and therefore parts of the penalty. This penalty is not graded according to moral differences among men. Divine Justice merely decided that Father Adam as a rebel against the Divine Law had forfeited his life, and that none of his children could be born under conditions that would be perfect and satisfactory to God. Therefore Adam's death sentence passed by heredity upon all of his children, irrespective of their degrees of sinfulness. None of them being perfect, none of them therefore being worthy of everlasting life, all of them must die, whether with much or little pain, whether by famine or pestilence or war or accident. Justice took no note of the method of the dying, but merely of the fact that they must die. Similarly, human laws provide certain penalties for crimes, irrespective of the different conditions of the culpits. The Purpose of Jesus' Death. God might have allowed the race to perish under that death sentence, or "curse." If so, the accounts of Justice would have been squared, and every man at death would have gotten his share of the penalty. Then there would have been neither future life nor future judgments for him; for a death penalty is the extreme limit of Divine Law, as well as of human law. But God purposed something better than annihilation for His human creatures. He purposed an exhibition of His mercy in combination with justice—the redemption of Adam and all of his family from the death sentence. The first step in this redemptive work was the death of Jesus as a corresponding price for the first man, who personally slinned and who was personally condemned. The redemption of the original sinner, through whom the whole difficulty came, would constitute a satisfaction to Justice on his account and that of all his family, who participated in his penalty. Jesus' redemptive work was not with a view to getting people out of a fiery Hell of eternal torture; for there is no such place, according to the Bible. His death was to get mankind out of the Bible Hell—the tomb—the death state—Sheol in the Hebrew, Hades in the Greek. To bring Adam and his race back from the tomb signifies their resurrection. This is the promise of God's Word—that because Christ died for man's sin, therefore in due time "there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and of the unjust."—Acts 24:15. The theory that nobody is dead—that those who die merely change their form and live more fully—is in direct con- dict with our observation as well as contradictory to the Bible, which declares that "the waves of sin is death," that "the soul that sinneth shall die," and that Christ died for man's sin in order to re over him out of this penalty of death and to make possible his re-living, his resurrection from the dead.—Komans 6:23; Ezekiel 18:4; 1 Corinthians 15:21-23. Another Cay of Judgment. Another Day of Judgment. Having seen that God's Judgment, or sentence against sin, went into effect six thousand years ago and is still in effect—that the whole world is dying—we ask properly. When will the new Judgment Day begin—the opportunity for Adam and his race to have another trial for life—secured by God's mercy through the death of Jesus? St. Paul answers our query, saying, "God hath appointed a Day, in which He will judge the world in righteousness, by that Man whom He hath ordained, whereof He hath given assurance unto all men, in that He hath raised 'Him from the dead.'" (Acts 17:31). St. Paul does not say that this Judgment Day had begun in his time; but that it was future, according to God's appointment, and as a result of Christ's death. He clearly intimates also that Jesus is to be the great Judge. In this view of matters, the appointed Judgment Day is not to be a time of punishment for Adam's sin; for mankind already have been punished in the dying processes of the race for six thousand years. Nor is the coming Judgment to punish Adam's race because of their inherited weaknesses; for all those weaknesses were included in the redemptive work which the Savior accomplished when "He by the grace of God tasted death for every man The coming Judgment Day simply signifies a fresh trial for Adam and his race. In the first trial in Eden, Adam failed; and he and his will lost the perfect life with which he had been originally endowed, as a of God. The new Judgment Day is defined by the Creator for the benefit of Adam and his race. In other words, it will be a second great trial of the race, the difference being that the trial will be individual, and the rewards or punishments individual, not racial. During the four thousand years from the time of Adam's sin and his coming under the death sentence down to the time of Christ. God merely left the world under its penalty and without any suggestion that well-being or ill-doing would have any bearing upon their future destiny. The only exception to this rule was the little nation of Israel, Abraham's family. To Abraham, a man of faith and loyalty to God, came the first declaration of God's purpose to bless the world. (Galatians 3:8, 16, 20.) Nelther Abraham nor his children were delivered from the curse. He was merely informed that God had purposeed another Judgment Day, in which all the families of the earth would be blessed and in which Abraham's Offspring would be the great Judge, through whom all the willing and obedient might be brought back to everlasting life and perfection. God might have continued to deal with humanity exactly as He had done during the first two thousand years—might have left them in ignorance of His purpose to roll away the curse and to roll on a blessing. But another feature of the Divine Plan made it expedient to reveal certain features of the Divine purpose. He desired to select two classes from amongst mankind before He would begin the general work of giving a fresh judgment, or trial, for everlasting life to Adam and his race. In harmony with His Plan God revealed certain things to Abraham and his natural posterity, the Jews, up to the time of Christ. In His dealings with them He tested them and found certain noble, loyal, faithful characters, suitable to His future purposes. They are sometimes styled the Ancient Worthies, and are referred to by St. Paul in Hebrews 11. In the closing verses of that chapter, however, the Appstle refers to the Church of the Gospel Age as constituting a different class of God's servants, as designed to receive at His hands still higher honors than the others. Note the Appstle's words of contrast. After speaking very highly of the faith of the Ancient Worthies, St. Paul explains that they died without having received the fulfilment of the promises made to them, all of which were earthly; and that they could not reive the fulfilment of their earthly promises until after the Church would have received and entered into her spiritual promises by the First Resurrection—Hebrews 11:39, 40. Selecting Judges For the World. The Church, according to the Bible, is distinctly different from the world, and is to have a different kind of salvation from that provided for mankind in general. God's provision for humanity from the beginning was a perfect earth, suitable for perfect mankind; and all this was represented on a small scale by our first parents in Eden. God's Plan has not changed. The recovery of man from the death sentence will bring him to perfection and a world-wide earthly Eden, if he is obedient to the Divine arrangements. Otherwise he shall be destroyed utterly in the Second Death, as the Scriptures repeatedly declare.—Acts 3:23. As God prepared a worthy class during the Jewish Age to be His earthly representatives amongst mankind and samples of human perfection during the time of the world's judgment, or trial, similarly He has during this Gospel Age been selecting another class, spirit-begotten ones' who are to be perfected on the Heavenly or Spirit Plane, made like their Lord and Redeemer. (2 Peter 1:4: 1 John 3:2: To Christ and His glorified Church God purposes to turn over the whole world of mankind, including those who have gone into the tomb. This Messiah will be backed by all the Divine Power in His work of rescuing mankind from the fallen condition. Satan will be bound; all evil influences will thus be restrained. The darkness of ignorance and superstition will be scattered before the rising Sun of Righteousness. All mankind will be blessed—the living first, and afterwards the sleeping ones. "every man in his own order" or company—not all at once. For a thousand years a great work of judging will progress. This judging will not be punishments on account of Adam's sin or of inherited imperfections and faults, results of that sin. So far as the wrong doings of the present life are traceable to inherited blemishes, they will be covered by the merit of the great Redeemer's sacrifice. The only accounts remaining unsettled will be for those misdeeds and pernulous words of the present life done or uttered contrary to knowledge. The degree of knowledge will determine the degree of sin. Each individual then on judgment, on trial, will have in himself the record of his own violations of conscience. That is to say, the unfavorable sins, which must be punished, are those against the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Righteousness, the Spirit of Truth—done intelligently against it. Thus the civilized could scar their consciences in a manner that the uncivilized could not; and those having a knowledge of God and appreciation of the principles of His roughness could injure themselves for the future in a manner that more important people could not. Jesus declared that in the Day of Judgment those who did evil without knowledge will be punished with fewer stripes than will those who did less evil with more light. He gives us as illustrations the Solomon's of old, who were accounted most wicked, and the people amount of whom He was preaching, who counted themselves holiness people—S.ribes and Pharisees. (Matthew 10:15; 11:22.) It will be tolerable for all, but less tolerable for those who have had more knowledge, more light, in the present life, and who have failed to live accordingly. The Judgment of the Church. The period since Jesus' day, beginning at Pentecost, has been the Church's Judgment Day—her trial time. Only those coming into the True Church on the Lord's terms are privileged to have this special trial, and, if victorious, its special reward of glory, honor and immortality in the Kingdom. The entrance into the Church is through the begetting of the Holy Spirit; and this begetting to the new nature is granted only to those who turn from sin, accept the Redeemer as their Advocate with the Father, and make consecration to do God's will. As New Creatures, these have much advantage, in that God guarantees that "all things shall work together for good to them"—as spirit beings. This means, however, that they will be subjected to trials, difficulties, testings, much more severe than come to mankind in general; for they are being chiseled, polished, qualified, for the glories of the Heavenly Kingdom. They must walk by faith, not by sight. They must make a noble sight, in their hearts at least, against sin and its allurements. They must prove themselves loyal to God, to His Truth and to His service, at the cost of even life itself. The whole question we are discussing is summed up by the Lord in His Message through the Prophet Malachi (3:15-18). The Prophet declares that now we do not see evil-doers punished, even though they injure God's true people and blaspheme His name. But after God has made ready all the jewels of the Elect class and has set them in the gold of the Divine nature, there will be a change in prevailing conditions amongst men. Evil-doors will be chastised, with a view to their reformation. This failing, they "will be destroyed from amongst the people." Describing these Restitution conditions, the Prophet declares, "Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked." Divine Judgments Desired. Divine Judgments Desired What God purposes for the world through Messiah's Kingdom will be the grandest thing immanible. Through this Kingdom, Divine Judgments—justice—will be enforced everywhere—yet sympathetically. Each will be required to live up to the perfect standard of the Golden Rule, to the extent of ability; and the Royal Priesthood will be fully commissioned to remit penalties for unintentional transgressions resulting from inherited weaknesses. The reward to well-doers will be gradual growth in knowledge, in grace, in mental, moral and physical strength. Many find it difficult to understand how God's judgments could bring great blessings to the world. Hence we offer some suggestions: Suppose that the Kingdom were established, with Christ and the glorified Church in control, invisible to men, but all-powerful and all-wise. Suppose mylads of agents and agencies for the carrying out of the Divine will through this Royal Priesthood operating like the sound waves of the wireless telegraph. Suppose a contrite sinner earnest in his full surrender to the Lord, and imagine his acceptance to Divine favor indicated by a miraculous healing of some infirmity or by an enlightenment of mind permitting him to appreciate the Divine will. On the other hand, suppose a lover of sin attempting to commit wrong and receiving instant punishment—his hand paralyzed in the act of forging a signature or of taking the property of another—his tongue paralyzed in the act of uttering slander, profanity or untruth. How quickly the world would learn righteousness under such conditions! These very conditions we would now begin naturally inclined to expect, but do not see; for God's great Plan has not yet reached completion. KING ASA'S REFORM WORK FOR ISRAEL KING ASA'S REFORM WORK FOR ISRAEL King Solomon's Great-Grandson—Adverse Influence of the Ten-Tribe Kingdom—King Asa's Overthrow of Idolatry—A Great National Revival Idols of Pen and Ink—The God of the Creeds—Need of Another Solomon League and Covenant—Help Coming Through Messiah's Kingdom. "Draw nigh unto Me, and I will draw nigh unto you."—James 4:3. Isoily, the influence affected the kingdom of Judah to some extent. Images of Baal and groves for the practise of the licentious orgies of his worship multiplied in Judah, until the time of Asa, King Solomon's great-grandson. As a reformer, he set about the overthrow of idolatrous worship and the substitution of the true worship of Jehovah. We know not the influences that operated upon Asa to take a course so different from that of his father and his grandfather. Perhaps he was learning from his people's experiences. His first endeavors to obliterate idolatry seem to have been only partially effective. He next turned his attention to the fortifying of his own country. Then came a war with the Egyptian invader, Zerah, with an immense host, one million strong, with three hundred iron chariots. They came upon Judah, seeking for spoils; and their numbers made them a terror. Under these circumstances God's message to King Asa, through Azariah the Prophet, was especially encouraging. The Prophet pointed out the adversities of the ten tribe kingdom as being because they were without the true God, without the Law, without the teaching priests. They had gotten into an anarchous condition, with no peace to anybody. Yet the Lord had, he pel them whenever versities of the ten- tribe kingdom as being because they were without the true God, without the Law, without the teaching priests. They had gotten into an an- chous condition, with no peace to anybody. Yet the Lord had heped them whenever they turned to Him. God had always shown willingness to bless those who desired to be in harmony with Him. This message encouraged the king to put away further the idolatries and to renew the altar of the Lord's House. Consequently he had the support of the most godly of his own land; and many came from the ten-tribe kingdom who still respected God and His promises. They were glad to get to a place where Jehovah was worshiped. God blessed King Asa and his people in their repulse of the Egyptian invasion. The spirit of reverence for God was greatly increased. There was a great national awakening along religious lines. The people entered into a covenant with the Lord that all opposed to God should be put to death. The Lesson's Import to Us. Everywhere we see people in idolatry—not only the heathen who worship before bronze, wood and stone, but also the more civilized who have set up creed idols equally repulsive with the idols of heathendom. Our creeds represent God as a great monster, who deliberately created mankind with the foreknowledge and intention that nearly all of them should spend eternity in fiery torture. We need an Asa to arise and, encouraged by God's promises, to shatter Christendom's great creed idols and to liberate the people from bondage to them. He should have the support of all God-fearing people, as King Asa had. Not by physical force, nor by cruelty, nor by literal axes, would these creed idols be destroyed, but by the presentation of God's Word. In proportion as the Bible is rightly understood, the follies and unscripturalness of the creeds are recognized. True Covenanters, All of Us. The account of how Judah and Benjamin, the most religious people of that time, bound themselves to God with an oath, or covenant, reminds us of a similar religious movement in Scotland, in which some of God's people swore allegiance to Him and signed the covenant with their own blood. The day has come for other covenanters to come forward to enter into a of a similar religious movement in Scotland, in which some of God's people swore allegiance to Him and signed the covenant with their own blood. The day has come for other covenanters to come forward to enter into a covenant with God to be loyal to Him and His Word and to put away the creed idols. We have greater knowledge than had the Covenanters of Scotland; but Christian people need the spirit of full consecration to God. We have much more knowledge than had the people of Judah; but we need their spirit of loyalty. Many forget that in joining any church its creed is publicly endorsed, and that a private denial does not annul their obligations. Many say, "We do not believe the creeds; but they are popular, and we will support them." They do this because to do otherwise would be to antagonize the wise, rich and great who, although not believing the creeds themselves, seem interested in maintaining them as shackles upon the masses. Under these conditions we are not to expect any reform until Messiah's Kingdom is fully set up. Then it will overthrow the entire system of evil which has bound mankind with shackles of ignorance and superstition, and has kept them from God.

Burrell, formerly a teacher in this city but for some years past connected with the schools of Baltimore, and Mrs. Lola Norton, of Chicago, is making an extended tour throughout the West. With Mrs. Burrell she left Washington July 6th, proceeding to Chicago, where they paid a short visit to Mrs. Norton at her home in that city. The trio then continued westward, stopping successively to pay brief visits to friends in Omaha, Neb., Council Bluffs, Ia., Denver, Col., and Colorado Springs.

Macon, Ga.—Several months ago City Treasurer Johnson received a dollar from some conscience stricken taxpayer inclosed in a letter which explained that away back yonder he failed to return all his taxes, and, since the time was drawing near when he would be confronted with the record of his life's doings, he wanted to square accounts with the city. The treasurer credited "Honest," that being the signature, with $1 on the tax digest and let it.go at that. Recently City Clerk Davy Jones received a letter postmarked Fostoria, O. saving: "Inclosed find 10 cents. At the time of the Spanish-American war I took a toothpick holder belonging to a hotel that was underground. It was angling across from the Union depot. I do not know who it belonged to. "If you find the owner give it to him. If not, give it to the poor." This was signed "One Who Wants to Be Right With God." If there is any one in the city who kept a hotel under ground and "angling across from the Union depot" during the Spanish-American war, who missed a toothpick holder about that time, he or she can call on the city clerk and receive 10 cents in stamps. Otherwise the amount will be distributed among the poor of the city. A STARVATION LUNCHEON. Hostess Who Dropped Forty Pounds Treats.

Each guest drew a number corresponding to a certain dish on the table. Each dish measured exactly 100 calories.
