IF IT'S NEWS, IT'S IN THE BEE, FOR THE BEE IS A NEWSPAPER. THE BEE WASHINGTON Washington's Best and Leading Negro Newspaper-That's THE BEE VOL. XXXVI, NO. 16 WASHINGTON, D.C., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 915 THE MUSIC OF THE PAGEANT Many People are Asking Just Now What is a Pageant. A.pageant is a great folk play given usually out of doors and using large number of actors. There is little or no speaking, but the story is told by music, beautiful costumes and folk-dancing. The pageant has its origin in the religious festivals of ancient and medieval days, and has recently been revived in England and America. Each pageant seeks to teach some great historic lesson, portraying the deeds and thoughts of by-gone days and inspiring the youth for unselfish work in the future. One interesting thing about a pageant is that it is not one entertainment, but a series of entertainments. There is, first, the play itself, then there is the folk dancing, then there is the coling and the costumes. Especially there is the music. Those who see the great Pageant given Oct. 11, 13 and 15 in the American League Base Ball grounds will have an opportunity to have a history of the development of the negro music under the most favorable circumstances. It will be a concert of some forty selections of music ranging from the drum of the African forest down to Will Marlon Cook and Coleridge Taylor. It will thus be a concert, but more than a concert. The music will be illustrated and explained under peculiarly and striking circumstances. Persons, therefore, who are interested in music and music development, whether experts or not, should not miss this opportunity. The Horizon Guild is fortunate in having some of the music especially written for it. Many people do not know Major Charles Young, the ranking colored officer of the United States Army, is also a musician and composer of no mean ability, and has published several interesting musical compositions. Major Young, from his long residence on the coast of Africa and in Haiti, is familiar with the primitive African rythms, and has written for the Pageant several tom-tom rolls and four instrumental pieces of great beauty. The work of Coleridge Taylor in African music has been freely used. The splendid "Bamboula" with its savage might of "Take Nabanji," and others of his wonderful compositions, have been used. Negro creole music for the West Indies furnishes two imitable ballets. Not only is the work of Cole and Johnson used, but we are particularly fortunate in having the surviving member of this gifted firm, Mr. J. Roemond Johnson, as our Director of Music. The whole musical program of the Pageant has been arranged by him and Mr. A. G. Dill of the "Crisfs." Mr. Johnson will lead the band in person at the Friday night performance. Another feature of the musical program will be the use of American negro folk songs harmonized for band and voices. Mr. Johnson has made a special march of "Walk Together, Children," and four other folk-songs will be rendered. In the whole program only two of the forty pieces are by white composer, Verdil, and these are based on African themes. Perhaps never before has so complete an exhibition of negro music in all phases of its development been brought together on one program. It will be rendered by a large brass band, several choruses, a drum chorus and buglers. The story of the Pageant covers 10,000 years and more of the history of the Negro race and its work and suffering and triumphs in the world. The pageant combines historic accuracy and symbolic truth. All the costumes of the thousands of actors, the temples, the weapons, etc., have been duples from accurate models. The story is divided into 5 scenes and 12 episodes. The first scene, the "Gift of Iron," occurs in prehistoric days, when all men of all races were in savageery and helpless before beast and storm. It shows how the Negro race gave man its first great advance in culture—knowledge of the use of iron. The second scene the "Dream of Egypt," shows how the Egyptians descended from the prehistoric negroes, evolved a high civilization and met again oncoming hordes of black men from the motherland, Punt, and eventually crowned one as Pharoah, and thus extended their culture to Central Africa. The third scene, laid in the 6th to the 16th centuries A. D., depicts the "Glory of Ethiopia" and its empires, and shows how the dual of Islam and Petish exhausted black Africa and made it a prey to Christian and other slave traders. The fourth scene, the "Valley of Humiliation," shows Africa enslaved and careless, but called to arms at last to fight for freedom. The last scene, the "Vision Everlasting," shows the triumph of Knowledge, Labor, Justice, Science, Art and Love over the ghosts of slavery. All through the pageant runs the mythology of the Star of Freedom brought from heaven by Ethiopia, stolen in slavery, and finally set in triumph on the Pillar of Light. Music by colored composers, lights and symbolic dancing accompany the story, and emphasize and explain it. SCHOOLS OPEN MONDAY. Supt. Thurston Gives Out Regulations For Examination of Pupils—Mass of Detail Issued Provides for Conferences of Principals and Teachers—Sets Monday as the Opening Day.

Locke, Director of Boys' Activities, and Mr. Sidney C. Cousins, superintendent of the Bathing Beach, were interested spectators. It is very encouraging to the playground movement of the city that colored workers are taking so much interest in this most healthful sport. Next year the meet will be held at the New Willard Playground Pool, which, when completed, will be one of the best pools in the city. Mr E. Boarman, in charge of the colored bathing pool, acted as starter, while the different directors acted as judges of the race. SUMMARY. 30-yard swim—1st. P. Beckley, Y. M. C. A; 2. T. Hughes, Y. M. C.

In his address before what is known as the "incorporated" body of Baptists, at the First Regiment armory, Dr. Washington refused to take a hand in the squabble other than to urge the church members to "fight things out without becoming 'little' men." Hold Separate Meeting. The "unincorporated" faction of the Baptists held meetings at the Salem Baptist Church, LaSalle and Thirtieth streets. The principal address there was delivered by Dr. J. D. Robinson of Arkansas, who spoke of "Preparatory Life of a Christian." Dr. Robinson assailed the "habit of chewing, smoking and whiskey drinking among preachers." "Some preachers are always pointing toward heaven, but they are leading young folks straight to hell by their examples," he said. "Many preachers have their hands out for contributions most of the time, and then when they get a dime they go and buy a clear Havana and blow the smoke in 'a brother's face. No true Christian would do such a thing." At both meetings both sides predicted that fighting was at an end. Ex-Assistant United States Attorney James A. Cobb, who attended the Negro Business League at Boston, Mass., has returned to the city. Mr. Cobb, who made such a successful prosecutor while in the United States attorney's office, will enter upon the practice of his profession. No man deserves greater-credit than Mr. Cobb. Prof. J. D.

He has invented many useful appliances, and he continues to apply himself to useful arts. While in Atlantic hemlah." Negroes who came to Chicago to attend the National Baptist Convention hoped that Dr. Washington would deliver a speech designed to banish the strife that has caused the Baptist factions to hold two separate conventions.

"And behold, there came a strife among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest."—St. Luke, 22:24. Chicago, Ill.—Discussion of the differences existing between the two factions of the 2,000 negro Baptist preachers now in convention at the First Regiment Armory was resumed yesterday. That is, it was resumed for about half an hour. Then some things began to happen that were not purely discussion. Probably the most striking of these was when the Rev. A. Barber of Texas a stanch supporter of the Rev. E. C. Morris, leader of one faction, attempted to jerk from the platform the Rev. E. P. Jones of Mississippi, heading the other faction. In succeeding in his mission, Preacher Barber tore off one of Preacher Jones' coattails amid yells of "Help us, O Lord," from the entire assemblage. Factions Near Riot. Following this and ensuing happenings, which at times nearly approached the magnitude of a riot, the breach between the two factions was widened until it was declared they could not come together again. The faction of Preacher Morris announced last night it would continue in session at the armory, while it was stated by the followers of Preacher Jones that they would meet at the Salem Church at Thirtieth and LaSalle-streets. Only the intervention of Booker T. Washington, who arrives in the city today to speak before the preachers, will bring about a reconciliation, it was stated. When the convention was opened in the morning it at first was thought that peace would replace the trouble of the opening session last Wednesday. However, Preacher Morris, who is president of the convention, had taken his place in the chair but half an hour and was addressing the apparently serene congregation, when Deputy Sherif Harry Fleming walked to the platform and served him with an injunction restraining him from taking part in the meeting. It had been obtained from Judge Smith of the Circuit Court by the followers of Preacher Jones. After reading the injunction the Rev. Mr. Morris left the platform. Then the Tower of Babel collapsed. Behold what the followers of Judas have done!" shrieked a silk-hatted deacon from Georgia. "They have brought Sodom and Gomorrah into Zlon." With a yell that could be heard for blockes, the followers of the Rev. Mr. Morris leaped to their feet and rallied around him, kicking over chairs in a wild stampede across the armory floor. The members of the other faction did likewise. As the two factions surged together in what looked to be a wild riot, a few moments later, Rev. Mr. Jones mounted the speakers' platform. "Put-Jones out," screamed a frenzied delegate from Tennessee. "Moses led his children into Israel, but that man Jones is trying to lead us to the gates of Hell." "Yea! Yea! Yea! Hear him!" came a chorus of Morris followers. "No Place For Morris." "The Lord created Heaven and earth, but he didn't mean for Morris to live in either place," shrieked back an elder from Alabama. "Yea! Yea! Yea! Hear him!" howled the cohorts of Preacher Jones. Then a Kentucky deacon, with a deep bass voice, leaped onto a table. The Morris faction surged about him, and joined in sining "That Old Time Religion Is Good Enough for Me." "Onward, Christian Soldiers, Marching as to War," interrupted a chorus of the Jones aggregation, and for an hour thereafter there was a veritable battle of hymns. Then amid yells of derision and shrieks of praise, Preacher Jones attempted to address the meeting. Preacher Barber promptly grabbed one of his coattails. A rending sound could be heard above the bedlam, and the next instant Preacher Jones had bounced off the platform onto his knees, and a Morris follower was proudly 'displaying the severed coattail. It apparently was only through the efforts of Lieutenant Michael Cloheey and ten policemen, who promptly got in action and shoved the yelling, surging throngs back, that a riot was pre vented. Preacher Jones, after being helped up from the floor, resumed his place on the platform. Representative of the "Poro" College of St. Louis in the City. The demonstrations of "Poro" System are now being given at 1519 street by our representative, Mrs. W. A. Clay. All persons desiring treatments or instructions in same will find Mrs. Clay congenial, cheerful, responding to all inquiries.

I never heard so much gossip and speculation about the schools in all my life. Everybody is up a tree. Some say that Lord Fauntroy is better and will return on-schedule time. He will no doubt return in spirit and nothing. When I think of poor Miss Laura Dyson, Miss Mattle R. Bowen, Miss Annie Spencer, it causes me to think of what might have been. No one knew the anxiety of poor Miss Bowen while she was at home looking every moment for a call from above. How she suffered, and how her heart ached. She had a few friends to stay the hand of the executioner. The official ax was drawn, and drawn high at that. Those from whom she looked for relief sent her thorns. Mrs. Spencer, while she may be beyond the age limit, is just as vigorous as those who raised the official ax. How careful we should be when old age overtakes us. How lenient we should be, because we don't know when the arm of fate will strike us. In speaking of fate don't you know that the feet of fate will wait for no one. It is like death. It has no favorites. Some people are of the opinion that persons who have been overtaken by age must retire. Little do they think that they will ever become old. It is not so? Give some people power, and they will go beyond the limit. I was down in Maryland a few days ago, and I heard a great deal of murmuring among the school population. There is a growing sentiment for an up-to-date and modern supervisor. There is a petition being circulated to be presented to the school authorities at Annapolis, Md. I have some startling exposes to make which no doubt will make the school authorities stand up and take notice. My friend, Thomas L. Jones, is in Canada with his madam. Mr. Jones is slowly but certainly gaining his health. I have every reason to believe that when he returns he will be a new man. I am of the opinion that the society gentleman who exposed the Monticello Club to the police department will some day be given a medau by Manager Anderson. The consideration he received for the job will not do him any good. I have visited this club frequently. They are not all millionaires, but they are gentlemen. The Sage is in possession of the name of the individual who played the traitor. He generally comes with a smile and a shake of the hand. One other place was to have been pulled by the traitor's-dupe, but it didn't work. It is so strange why colored folks will allow themselves to be used for consideration. When Judge Robert Terrell will read the special from Texas in this week's Bee, I believe that he will cancel his Texas engagement. My friend Brels, the advance agent, must have some kind of a nerve. I believe Biers has consented to carry with him a praying Baptist minister. Traveling through Texas is not walking through this city. Why, they have to carry shotguns to church. The worshippers pray while they hold a shotgun in their right hand. They don't care any more for prayer in Texas than they did for a repeating rifle. Mr. Biers has assured the judge that it is not necessary to insure his life. People in Texas have no regard for such foolishness. It takes all of their time to shoot, kill, and do other dirty things. Texas is a great State. THE TIPPING QUESTION. P. R. De Reef Miller. According to a Chicago newspaper there will be a bill introduced in the nex session of Congress making it unlawful to tip Pullman porters, Red Caps waiters or any person employed by public service corporations. Agitators for legislation of this kind are formed from the cheapest of traveling men and "fourflushers" of the worst type. The class of people that the "Jim Crow" cars of the South should get. Instead of that they are traveling in the Pullman coaches, enjoying all of the comforts, and high-class service rendered by trained men, men who have been cultured in he art of pleasing, and draw small salaries and depend greatly on the tips they get to ma- ends meet at home. Recently the s. of South Carolina passed a bill on this subject, which has caused a storm of complaints by the railroad and hotel people throughout the state. One of the principal meals served in the dining car on many of the Southbound trains is served in the midst of this state. Various complaints have been made by passengers of waiters refusing the tip. The waiter explains that it's a state law that compels him to refuse. But many of the irate passengers inform the company that he was insulted. This is but one of the instances where this narrowminded state legislature conflicts with the service. The hotel proprietors are compelled to pay larger salaries for help, and if he raises the rates of the hotel his patronage decreases. Thus the cheaper class of help that is practically on the jump takes the job and the service standard becomes lower and lower. Let us hope that the Congress of the United States will look far deeper in this subject than the state of South Carolina has done, realizing that the men employed by railroad public service corporations and hotels are as worthy of their tip as the average working man of his wage. The tipping institution of this country from shop boy, barber, waiter, bellman, maid, has been proven to be the greatest method of improving service. There are many clubs that boast. "We don't allow our servants to receive tips." And the most of the members when they want a steak cooked a certain way or a Welsh rarebit, you will not find him at the club, but at a first class restaurant where the waiters cater to please the individual taste. PROF. PAGE CHARGED. Melvin Chisum, President of the Negro Press Association, Arrested on Charge of Criminal Libel. on Charge of Criminal City, Okla., Sept. 8.—Prof. Inman E. Page, president of Langston University, Langston, Okla., was removed last Wednesday by the State Board of Education. His resignation and removal came from the sensational publication appearing in the Tribune, a local paper published by Melvin Chisum. President Page strikes back by causing the arrest of Editor Chisum last Sunday, and he was taken to Guthrie, Okla., to answer the charge of libel (criminal). Chisum engaged Harrison, Brown and Sadler, of Guthrie, Okla., as his attorneys. The school tangle for the Douglas High School of this city is still bothering the minds of the public. The school board is deadlocked on Prof. J. H. A. Brazelton and Prof. B. F. Abner. The board consists of eight members. Prof. Jno. C. Whitaker, already a member of the public school system, is mentioned as a compromise man. Delegations for and against are visiting the board and the public mind is stirred up over the situation. Mrs. Ada B. Wortham, the State Worthy Counsellor of the Court of Calanthe, has just returned from the supreme session of the K. of P. at Columbus, Ohio. Dr. Henry L. Wiley, for five years prescription clerk at the Bethel Drug Store, filed suit last week against A. P. Bethel for back salary in the sum of $1,350. This action came as a surprise to the public. Lawyer T. S. E. Brown was counsel for Dr. Wiley, and Attorney H. C. Hawkins represented the Drug Co. THE BAPTIST CONVENTION. Chicago Witnesses a Disgraceful Scene—The President, Rev. E. C. Morris, Bolts—The Standpatters Remain and the Bolters Returned. Chicago, Ill., Sept. 8.—One of the most disgraceful scenes that has ever been witnessed was the convention of Baptists that is meeting in this city. The thirty-fifth annual session of the national convention of Negro Baptists began here to-day. Later in the day the convention was thrown into disorder over a proposition for a new charter. In various parts of the hall rose cries of "Call the police!" Rev. E. C. Morris, president of the convention, and others, left the Armory and started another convention. Those who remained in the Armory elected Rev. E. P. Jones, of Mississippi president, and M. E. Robinson of Texas secretary, and voted against the charter. Following the organization of the rival convention, the bolters returned to the convention at the Armory, and a struggle developed over a megaphone, which one of the delegates used to make himself heard. The police were forced to take a hand in the scramble for possession of the megaphone. Later efforts were made to bring the factions together. NOTES ON RACIAL PROGRESS. The National Association of Colored Graduate Nurses recently held their annual meeting at Raleigh, North Carolina. The sessions were attended by delegates from many States and cities. The Negro Odd Fellows of Georgia have in successful operation a Model Demonstration Farm near Macon, Georgia. The farm consists of 281 acres, 110 of which are under cultivation. The Colored Federated Charities of Memphis, Tennessee, have just published their annual report. During the past year they have reached and helped over five thousand persons. H. C. Shepard is president and V. W. Broughton, secretary. Joseph J. Attwell has been appointed general manager of the North Carolina division of the North Carolina Mutual Insurance Company, the widely known Negro insurance company of Durham, North Carolina. Mr. Attwell will have his headquarters at Columbia, South Carolina. Dr. H. M. Green of Knoxville, Tennessee, has done very commendable work this summer in connection with bettering the health of the children of his county. Recently a large group of these children were his guests for car rides to nearby cities. Mrs. J. C. Horton of Guthrie, Oklahoma, was recently e-elected President of the Oklahoma State Federation of Negro Woman's Clubs. Mrs. Horton is widely known for her successful work in establishing a library for the colored people of her city. The Supreme Lodge of the Knights of Pythias which recently met at Columbus, Ohio, reported some very substantial, financial and numerical advancement. Over half a million dollars have been handled through the executive officers since the last meeting and the enrollment of members now stands 250,000 of the Pythians and 87,000 of the Courts of Calanthe. NATION'S BIG MEN TO PLAN DEFENSE Aerial Torpedo Boat Now Under Discussion—Idea Patented by Rear Admiral Flake Twenty Years Ago—Believed Device Can Be Perfected For Use In Landlocked Harbors. Washington. The first great gathering in the United States to consider the national defense question will be held in Washington from Oct. 4 to 7. It will take place immediately following the Grand Army of the Republic encampment here and will be under the auspices of the National Defense league. It is planned that the gathering shall be one of representative citizens from every state of the Union, who will consider what measures must be taken by congress to increase the fighting arms of the country. The conference will be presided over by Representative Kahn of California, chairman, and Senator Robert F. Broussard of Louisiana, vice chairman of the National Defense league. An invention which was perfected by Rear Admiral Fiske almost twenty years ago, when he was a lieutenant commander in the navy, is being considered by naval designers as a possible basis for the construction of aerial torpedo boats which might inflict tremendous damage on an enemy's battleships. The Fiske invention provides for the construction of a flying vessel which would carry a torpedo weighing one ton. One of the principal values of A. Photo by American Press Association. REAR ADMIRAL PISKE such a flying machine, in the opinion of naval experts, would be its ability to attack landlocked fleets. Swooping down at a distance of five sea miles from the object of attack, the air craft would drop its deadly passenger into the water just as it would have been launched from a destroyer. The impact sets the torpedo's machinery in motion, and it is off at a speed of more than forty knots an hour toward the enemy ship. Aeroplanes to carry a ton of dead weight have been perfected by several countries. Russia is said to have several that will carry twenty men, and the new British air craft probably will have similar capacity. It is said to be possible that a type of radio controlled torpedo might be employed, one airplane carrying a torpedo and another the wireless machinery to control the missile's flight through the water. It is pointed out that Admiral Fiske obtained patents on such a method of control in 1900, when he was a lieutenant commander in the navy. They are said to be so broad and farreaching as to underlie all subsequent developments of radio controlled devices. "My invention," says the application filed by Lieutenant Commander Fiske, "is especially applicable to automobile torpedoes and makes it possible to control the movements of a torpedo with great certainty from a shore, from the deck of a ship or a lake." Since the aerial torpedo plan was advanced reports have come that German engineers were at work on a similar scheme. It is planned to drop from aeroplanes a torpedo that can be guided by radio impulses during its fall and send it with absolute certainty to its mark. Further tests of the Isham high explosive fuse for use in navy shells will be made soon by the naval board appointed eight months ago to determine the value of this device submitted by Willard S. Isham. The fuse was a subject of controversy during the last congress, and the special board, headed by Rear Admiral Fiske, was appointed to conduct the tests. Admiral Fiske's recommendation that several fuses be made with improvements suggested by the board since previous experiments showed no very satisfactory result. HISTORICAL CHARTS. The unique historical selections of original compositions of great men by Mr. Miles C. Maxfield does honor to the colored race. These pictures and biographies are histories themselves, which should be in the homes of everybody. Not only should these historical charts be in every colored home, but they should be in our schools as well. The colored child knows but little of the great colored men of the race. Mr. Maxfield tells you who John Mercer Langston is; he tells you of Robert B. Elliot. Read elsewhere in this paper the 38 historical pictures. Mr. Maxfield was kind enough to present two of our favorite statesmen to The Bee, which shall adorn its office. Let every patriotic colored American send for one or all of the 38 historical charts.

The raiding of Colored Clubs 1s a new policy of tlie present police department. May not ‘The Bee sug- gest to the police department to try’ its hand at other elubs in this city? Is the Monticello Club any differ- ently conducted than any white club in this city. Don’t all of them. sell liquor on a Sunday? If any Kind of a raid was made on any of these great clubs somebody would lose his buttons. -” Some few days ago a young man who is well known to the Editor of The Bee informed him that he was an extra man at the Army and Na- vy Club. So one morning an of- ficer came to the door and the man- aged asked the colored help what the police officer wanted. Oh! re- marked the help, he came to bring the license for the club. We don’t allow him to remain a minute in this club, meaning the Army and | Navy Club is no place for polics officers or petticoats, and if an of- ficer “‘tarries”” long he will have his buttons taken off. Major Pullman should see to it that he conducts a raid against the upper ten clubs in town and sce how long he will re- mnin at the head of the police de- partment. Of course a poor col- ored club had to be mad an ex- ample of so that others will be de- terred. Such raids, however, will not deter the Metropolitan, Army atl Navy or,the University Clubs.

DISCRIMINATLON IN DEATIL Some people i puohe oltice are xo prejudiced that, they don’t want the Colordd Americans about them even in death, At the funeral of the Inte Inspector Boardinan, not a colored officer was present. | Not -a colored officer was assigned to duty in any capacity. There is one thing certain, that there is no dis- erimination in death, ‘There ‘is none in heaven or hell. God knows no man by the color of his skin and neither does the devil have separa. ate departments for those who arc sent to him from earth. Old Tillman, Vardaman, Hoke Smith, Blease and all other of lik characters will be treated alike when they are summoned to appear before the judgment seat of God There may be all kinds of diserim. ination upon earth, but certainly man must die and’be either must be buried or his body burned te ashes. Those who own the grave yards may say, ‘‘No Negro can be buried here,’’ aud thus prevent ‘an honorable burial in a graveyard for white people, but die they must.

Galveston, Texas, September 6th, 1915.—I am master of the situa- tion—I am equal to the occasion—I am still chairman of the Colored Relief Committee with headquarters in Galveston. The colored people in, Texas City need help. From the 18th of August to the 3rd of Sep- tember, the colored people of ‘Texas City have not been given any- | thing from the white relief committee, so far as I could learn, other than board while in prison; ther: without a charge against us, only color! I told the colored people to not ask them for anything as I did not believe the money and dry goods.sent there would be given the colored people; many asked, I am told, to be denied. Some of the white people were kind enough to come to the prison camp and claim their cooks; some went so far as to claim their cooks’ mothers, sisters and small byothers. God in heaven knows this is true. The Mexicans and poor white people were not put in prison, neither did they have to work. If-they wanted to work they did so without having to work under a guard, and got pay for it, The Cireular said nothing about a colored boy in the prison camp being beat over the head with a 45 colt by city policeman and U. S, soldier holding an army gun on him. The soldier wanted to shoot, but the litutenant said, “don’t, don’t!’ He kept him from shooting, but he’s not a good man by any means. In a speech on, the 18th night of August to 200 fellow prisoners; I said if Dr. Booker T. Washington should chance to pass or, try to pass through Texas City, he would be made a prisoner. Since that time my attention had been called to the shameful treatment of Dr. M. W. Dogan, A. M., Ph. D., president of Wiley University, received by this mob element. He ranks with ‘Dr. Washington as an educator, and his character is unquestionable. - The pulpit must give attention to matters other than Associations, Conventions, District Conferences aud Annual Conferences. The con- dition of the race must get a part of your attention, ‘brother! WHY I LEFT TEXAS CITY. ‘There was a plan on foot to mob me. Two U.S. soldiers and a policeman went to my room and left word for me to meet General Bell and the Mayor at the’ postoffiee at 8 p. m., Sept. Ist. I couldn’t understand why the. general and mayor wanted to see me down there in the dark. So I did not go. The next message I received was that the general and mayor wanted to see we at the hall; I didn’t go to meet the general and his friend. 1 am told the general and mayor did not go there, only gun men. The next thing T heard these same men wanted to learn where I had moved my room- ing place to, not where I could be found in the day, but where I could be found in the night. The general knows every move of the soldiers. See my wire'to him without a reply: Galveston, Texas, Sept. 6, 1915. General Bell (US. A.), Texas City, Texas. ' A message was left at my room five or’six different times by two soldiers and one policeman, that you wanted to see me at the City Hall. If this be true, I will meet you or Capt. Murphy anywhere in Galveston, Téxas. . REY. E, C. BRANCH, 2705 Avenue G (rear). This was nothing more or less than peonage slave system, operat- ed by the officials of Texas City and Gen. Bell was q cat’s paw with his strong army. I was a bad man because I spoke against the way ou race was treated. This demonstrates the type of citizenship whieh constitute the make-up of officials. The Postmaster there did me wrong. I wrote him to see General Bell for us, and he gave, my letter to the Chief of Police, with a request to stop me from writing him. Se: my letter to the Times: . : : Galveston, Texas, Sept. 4, 1915, Editor Texas City Times. & Dear Sir: I don’t know your position regarding the Negroes’ treat ment there. I do know you failed to publish my letter, I don’t wan! my attention again called to any Negroes being beat over the head wit! guns, if so I will go after the bondsman of the officials guilty of the ac before the courts here.

Weller, as the republican candidate for governor of Maryland In Tuesday's State pri- mary was halled in Washington last night a8 a direct victory for Senator John W. Weeks, of Massachusetts, who 1s an aspirant for the republican nomination for President. It is claimed by the Weeks men that Wel- }ler’s nomination means a Weeks dele- gation from Maryland to the Repub- ican national convention next year. Mr. Wfeller formerly was a member of the banking house of Hornblower & Weeks of Boston. He retired a few years ago and settled in Baltt- more county. Senator Weeks and the republican gubernatorial nominee were not only associated In business, but they practically began life to- gether at the Naval Academy at An- napolis, from which they graduated in the same class. Naturally enough, Senator Weeks was deeply gratified at the victory yesterday attained by his former school and business as sociate. - os “DEMOCRATIC TAIL.” To overcome the South in the saddle democracy it is necessary to defeat the Northern democracy. Every bal- lot cast for a democrat in the North goes to maintain the national democ- racy now dominated by the democracy of the South.

U. of the District of Columbia was present, in the person of Mrs. Alma Scott and she gave a short address to the society on the harmful effects coming from indulgence in the social cups. She said that the man who used intoxicating liquors in his home and never became drunk was a greater menace to mankind than the reeling drunkard whom you often see in the gutter. If one observes the letter, it is not likely that alcohol liquors will appeal to him, but used as they are in the milder form in a society member's home, he indulges until his appetite, craving for more, seeks it in the barroom, and he is dragged down to destruction. The president of the organization, Miss Irene Mahoney, was at the meeting, and had a few encouraging remarks to make. A short reading was given, urging the church to awake and do its duty toward helping to exterminate the saloon.

HE DECLARES Says Order to "Let the People Off" Scared Them—Admits Steamer Had "Listed Pretty Bad Before"—"Hard to Judge When a Boat Is Going to Capsize." Chicago.—As the different investigations into the Eastland disaster were continued in Chicago the story of Captain Henry Pederson stood out. Immediately following the disaster Captain Pederson agreed to be interviewed. He was quoted verbatim as follows: "How much did you list before you gave the order to 'stand by?'" was asked. "Not much. First she listed to starboard, and she came back, and then she didn't list so very much; then she straightened up all right, and I was going to send out the word to let go the line. She listed over, and I hesitated. I had already given the second mate orders to stand by and let go the stern lines. "I gave the warning to stand by because she was listing, and she kept on listing. The harbor master was on the deck. He shouted, 'Are you ready, captain?' He wanted to throw the lines out. I didn't start. I thought she was goin; straighten up, but she shifted, and I shouted, 'Open the inside doors and let the people off.' This was to the crew." The passengers were panic stricken when I uttered those words, and it was POLICE all off. Before that time I didn't think there was any danger at all." Q. Were the tow lines on the tug at the time? A. Yes. Q. The tow lines were on the tug at the time she listed? A. Yes, sir, she had lines on both ends—two lines forward and two lines aft. Q. Were the lines taut? A. No. Q. You had given the signal to go? A. No, sir. Q. Was the tug holding the lines taut after the Eastland listed? A. No. Q. It was then that you said, "Open the doors and let the people out!" Is that right? A. Yes. "About 7:25 o'clock in the morning," the captain continued, "I went down from the bridge and rang up the marine telephone. The Eastland is a twin screw and double engine. I ordered the crew to stand by because we were loaded and ready to go and the crew answered back promptly, 'Stand by.' I gave the order to stand by and to be ready with the engines." Q. Why did you give that order to be ready at the engines? A. To leave the dock. It was pretty near time to go. We had a tug from down here to tow us out. The harbor master was on the dock and asked me if I was ready. She listed more than I wanted her to—more than I liked—and I hated to shout those words which I did because I knew I would create a panic even if I was wrong. Q. What was the situation at the time, captain? A. What do you mean? Q. What I mean is, was the situation dangerous? A. Well, sir, there was no panic of any kind. Q. At that time the ship listed more? A. Well, she kept listing then. Q. Why did you think the situation more dangerous at that time than at any other time? A. Well, it is hard to judge as to when a boat is going to capsize. Q. Had she ever listed before? A. Yes, pretty bad before. Q. But you were not afraid of her! A. No, sir. Q. Were you surprised at her listing? A. Yes and no. Q. What caused her to keep on listing? A. I don't know. Q. Have you any theory as to why she kept on listing? A. Probably too heavy weight "listing side." PARAGRAPHIC.

President Wilson will wigwag a message of greeting and good will to the veterans visiting Washington on the opening day of the G. A. R. encampment.

According to the message from him to President Wilson, Austria-Hungary is willing to discuss terms of peace, and that Germany will also favor such discussion if entreaties should come from the entent allies or a powerful neutral like the United States. The President, however, will not offer mediation unless such step is welcomed by both sides.

THE COLOR LINE ON MONEY. From the Dallas Express. "The folly of race prejudice was exemplified in this city one day last week, when a colored woman, propriator of the largest colored hotel in Tulsa, went to the First National Bank of this city to make a deposit of money. She took $250 to this bank to deposit for safe keeping, expecting to have several thousand dollars transferred to his institution from her home bank in a few days. But when she offered the money she was told that colored people's money was not wanted, and she turned away in great disgust and indignation.—The Tulsa Star, Tulsa, Okla. (The remedy is not in cursing the First National, but in establishing a bank at Tulsa by negroes. The First National is not the only bank which does not want or need colored business.)" The Bee seconds the motion. Let the colored Americans depend more upon themselves. ALEXANDRIA NEWS Mr. Richard M. Brooks has sold for Lawyer Thomas M.

Deep Spiritual Truths a Cause of Separation—How We Eat Our Lord's Flesh—The Class That Drink His Blood—Our Lord's Life Laid Down at Calvary—The Merit of His Sacrifice to Be Given to the World Soon. Hershey, Pa. Sept. 12.—Speaking before the 1 B. S. A. Convention in session at Hershey Park Pastor Russell de livered an able dis course today, from the text, "Lord, to whom shall we go? Thou hast the words of eternal life." (John 6:68.) He said: PASTOR RUSSELL PASTOR RUSSELL WORDS OF eternal life." (John 6:13) He said: The most of us probably remember the connection of our text. Jesus had been stating a very deep truth; and many of those who had followed Him seemed unable to comprehend it or receive it. We read that they were perplexed, offended, and walked no more with Him. Then Jesus said to The Twelve, "Will ye also go away?" Simon Peter, speaking for The Twelve, said, "To whom shall we go? Thou hast the words of eternal life." It would seem as though God has put His Message in such a way that whoever accepts it and becomes a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ has at any time the opportunity of withdrawing. In the various churches, sects and systems, there is a kind of bond age, as there is to some extent in certain secret orders—a sort of obligation from which one cannot easily get away after having entered it. But no one is under obligation to remain a Christian; and should one desire to withdraw, the Lord would not hold him back. Apparently there is much misunderstanding of the Lord's method. We find some of God's dear people, contrary to the Scriptures, urging and threatening people, trying to drive them to the Lord. But we never heard of Jesus doing this, or His Apostles. To some the Gospel is an attractive Message; to others it has no attraction. Some are drawn just as a piece of steel is drawn by a magnet. Others have "hated Him without a cause." To some the Lord's Message is a savor of life unto life. It has a sweet color; it tells them about the everlasting life which God has provided. To others it is a savor of death unto death. They do not care for it. This same thought is brought out in Daniel's interpretation of King Nebuchadnezzar's dream. The stone cut out of the mountain without hands represented the true Church. All followers of Christ are fragments of that Stone. It is being made up from all nations and denominations. - Daniel 2:30-15. The Stone Cut Out Without Hands." For nearly nineteen centuries God has been gathering this Church, which altogether is only a "little flock" (Luke 12:32). With the close of this Age these faithful ones shall be made joint-heirs with Jesus, shall be the Kingdom class, shall be His Bride, shall be on the spirit plane, and with Jesus shall be given great power for the blessing of all the families of the earth, bringing mankind back to perfection and to a world-wide Eden. But this class, this Stone, is taken out of the mountain without hands. In symbolic language a hand means power. "Without hands" means that God did not exercise force to take the Church out. Yet, the Apostle says. "We are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works." (Ephesians 2:10.) God works in this class by His promises. As St. Peter says, "God hath given unto us exceeding great and precious promises, that by those we might become partakers of the Divine nature." (2 Peter 1:4.) Not by pushing, not by thunderlings or impressions, but by these promises does God work in us. He does not pull; He does not push. He merely draws us, as the magnet draws the piece of steel. The Class Now Sought. When Jesus gave that dark saying which offended some of His followers, He knew what effect it would have. He knew that some would not be able to appreciate what He was saying. This was equivalent to inviting them to leave. It is the Father's will to separate every individual from that elect class that can be separated. He wishes to put away any not of the right character, so that all who remain will be of the right sort. In every Christian's life there have been opportunities to take an easier way. If any are merely seeking easy paths, and rejecting the paths which the Lord has marked out, then He wishes all such to take that easier path. In the Dark Ages, when eternal torment was invented, people got to thinking that God would do nothing to hinder anybody, lest that one fall into eternal torment. But no one was ever in danger of eternal torment. The class that fall away merely fall to measure up to their privileges. So the Great Company, the antitypical Levites, have had the privilege of being Priests. They all made consecration They all belong to the class "passed over" during this Age. They had the privilege of becoming members of the Royal Priesthood, but they have not sufficiently valued the honors held out to them, of enlisting all of life's energies in the service of the King of kings; and He lets them take their course. He seeks those who delight to do His will, not those who must be compelled to do so. During the Millennial Age, all will be compelled to do God's will or be destroyed; but even though for a while they must do that will under compulsion, yet they will be expected to learn to love that will when they perceive its desirability. At the conclusion of that Age any human being who has not a love of righteousness and a hatred of iniquity, a sympathy for the things which are good, will not be counted worthy of eternal life. Such will have no life beyond the Millennial reign of Christ. At the time of our Lord's consecration, He came voluntarily to do the Father's will, although that will was more or less hidden. Jesus did not understand it fully at His consecration; but His thought was that, whatever it should be, it would be His will. So it is with His followers. At the time that you gave yourself up to be a child of God and a joint-heir with Jesus Christ our Lord, you agreed to do whatever God's providence might mark out for you. There is a great deal in having that fact in mind; for the changing affairs of life are bound to test us. The Lord is gathering a people who not-only make a covenant at the beginning, but keep that covenant. If they cannot do it fully according to the desh, they will at least do it in the spirit of their minds. If there be truly weaknesses which they anno wholly overcome, the Lord makes provision for these. He looks at the heart, the New Creature. The Hard Saying—Who Can Hear It? The dark clause which the disciples did not understand was, "Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, ye have no life in you." These were mysterious words They said, "How can this man give us His flesh to eat? This is a hard saying. Who can understand it?" It requires the Holy Spirit to understand these words. Even The Twelve could not understand such deep things of the Spirit until after Pentecost; then they began to understand. But they knew that they were expected to hold or even when they did not comprehend (John 14:26) So it is with us. God expects us to hold on to certain parts of His Word when we do not understand. We know about our Savior and the great Loving Plan. It is the most wonderful thing in the world; and if there are a few texts that we do not understand, it will still be our duty and privilege to remain loyal. We are helped when we see that there is One who will teach us and that we are to receive as we are able Thank God for the assurance that He is keeping close watch-care over us. We are glad to have a Teacher who is so considerate of us. We are glad to know that He has this arrangement by which our minds open more and more to see greater lengths, breadths heights and depths of the Love of God These "dark sayings" are stumbling blocks still to many. Eating the Flesh of the Son of Man. It is just as true today as when Jesus said it, that unless we eat the flesh and drink the blood of the Son of Man we have no life in us. The eating of His flesh signifies the appropriating of the merit of His flesh. Mentally we appropriate the merit of His flesh. His human nature, which He sacrificed for Adam and all of Adam's family, Adam's life was forfeited; his future life was forfeited. All the children of Adam thus lost their rights to the earthly life. Jesus laid down His flesh for the whole world, that all the Adamic race might have the right to this earthly life. Jesus' new life is not earthly, not fleshly; He has a spiritual body now. Therefore He has this fleshly life to give to the world—to Adam and all his children. Our Lord never forfeited His life; He was not a sinner. He still has the right to a human life and organism. But now He is glorified on the Divine plane, and He will give away the merit of His human life. He has not yet done so. The Bible tells us that He will give the merit of His human life to Adam and his race at the end of this present Age. When the Church shall be glorified, Jesus will pray the Father on behalf of the world. (John 17:9, Psa. 2:8.) God having these two parts in His Plan, Christ has already secured blessings for the Church, and during His Second Presence He will do His work for the recovery of the world. As He said, "My flesh I will give for the life of the world." He will give it to the Father; for it was the Father who was the great Judge, and who, dealing with Adam, condemned him to death—"Dying, thou shalt die." Unless a provision would be made that a perfect human being would take the place of the fallen human being, Adam, there would be no opportunity for a future life for either Adam or his race. This is what Jesus has done; He has given His life for Adam's life. His human nature for Adam's human nature. Over eleighteen centuries ago Jesus laid down His life, but did not give it. He still has the right to it; but He is to give it up forever, as the offset for Adam. Then Jehovah will turn over Adam and all his race to Jesus, who will then take His great power and reign. Then He will have the right to bless the world. Why is not the world turned over now? How inappropriate it would be if Jesus should give the purchase-price for the world, have them turned over to Him, and then do nothing for them! But the world will not be purchased until after the Church is glorified with the Lord, after He has added the Church to Himself. In one picture the Church is counted as members of Christ's Body; in another, He is the Bridegroom and the Church the Bride. The marriage of the Lamb comes, after which He enters upon His glorious work for the world. All the accounts on the books of Justice against Adam and his race will be canceled; and the great work will begin of blessing the world of mankind. During that time Jesus will be giving them His flesh to eat, the merits of His sacrifice, that they may take on all those perfect human qualities which He laid down, sacrificed, for them. They will eat His flesh throughout the Millennial Age. Drinking the Blood of the Son of Man. Having seen what the world is to get, let us see what the Church will receive. To the Church Jesus said, "Except ye eat the flesh and drink the blood of the Son of Man, ye have no life in you." The Church is not only to eat the flesh, but also to drink the blood, of the Son of Man. We do not eat the flesh in the same way that the world does. Those blessings that are coming to the world by and by, we appropriate now by faith. We accept the Call of this Age, to be the followers of Jesus our Savior, to sacrifice our earthly life as He sacrificed His earthly life. It is an invitation to leave the world and its ambitions, hopes and relationships, and become New Creatures in Christ Jesus, to be begotten to the spirit nature, and finally to be born of the Spirit—higher than angels, principalities, powers and every name save the Jesus and the Father. It is the invitation, and we have accepted it. We are to do as Jesus did. But first His merit is imputed to us. To impute is to reckon. There is a difference between reckoning and giving. He is actually to give these blessings to the world during the Millennium. Kind will be getting more health, more power, more moral energy; they will get back actually what they lost. To the Church these things are imputed or counted, by faith. To illustrate: If you had not chosen this High Calling you would have had the right to the earthly restitution provided for all mankind. But in this arrangement of this present Age the Lord imputes to you whatever you lack of perfection. This means that to whoever has only twenty-five per cent. of perfection of character, Jesus will impute seventy five per cent., etc. Instead of actually giving you what you lack, lifting you up to perfection. He imputes it to you. Thus the Church are feeding upon His flesh. We realize that God is giving us now, in this imputation, a great blessing in the forgiveness of our sins a compensation for all our weaknesses. But this would only make us on a parity with the world in the Age to come. We are to do more. It is for the Church to drink His blood; it is for us to give up our life with His life. The world will not make a sacrifice of their earthly life. But we who become joint-sacrificers with Jeus-sacrific our earthly lives—the blood, in the figure. We give up all our rights to earthly life and nature, even as our Lord gave up His earthly rights. And as the Father gave Him the higher life, so He has promised to give us that life if we will do the same. That is our Covenant, the agreement to drink of His blood, to share with Him in His sufferings and death. That is the special Covenant that brings us now into the family of God. It was Jesus' cup, because for Him primarily the Father poured it. He drank of it gladly, hi full submission to the Father's will. We have heard that we have the privilege of coming in with Him and laying down our lives; and here we are. We have laid our all at the Lord's feet, that He might give us the new life, the new nature, the spiritual life, the Divine nature, far above angels, principalities, and powers. Christ's Members to Have Immortality. At the beginning of your Christian experience, you did not understand all about this, any more than did the twelve Apostles and those others. But now we see that we cannot get eterna life except we eat Jesus' flesh and drink His blood. This means something more than merely everlasting life. Adam had life, but not "life in himself," inherent life. He did not have immortality. The angels have not life in themselves; God makes provision for their necessities. And so He will provide for the necessities of the whole human family. When Adam was perfect, God made provision for his maintenance. "As the Father hath life in Himself so hath He given to the Son to have life in Himself." (John 5:26) He is to give it to His Body-members. Great as will be the privileges and honors of the angels, and great as will be the blessings of perfected mankind, yet to the Church of God, because they have eaten the flesh and drunk the blood of the Son of Man, will be the superlative glory and honor—immortality, the sharing of the Divine nature. Nevertheless, the conditions imposed upon those who would make sure their calling and election to this exalted position are exacting, though a "reasonable service." They shall share in their Redeemer's exaltation if they share His ignominy by walking in His steps—following His example in this present time when evil is permitted to triumph. The Master was desplied and rejected of men, and finally was crucified by those who professed to love and follow righteousness. Similarly, throughout the Gospel Age whoever has faithfully performed his Covenant of Sacrifice has speedily known something of the sufferings of Christ—Colossians 1:24; Romans 8:17; 2 Timothy 2:11, 12 ELIJAH'S WORK BEFORE ASCENSION ELIJAH'S WORK BEFORE ASCENSION Defeats Through Drunkenness—Syria's King Wars With Israel—Confident of Victory, He Celebrates It In Advance-Israel's Small Army Under Divine Command Defeats the Syrians With Terrible Slaughter—Why God Permits Wars, Calamities, Etc—Should Christians Engage In War? UR lesson recounts the attack of the Syrians upon the Israelites, whose capital city, Samaria, is besieged and its king in fear of the necessity of capitulation. The Syrian King boastfully tells what he will do, and commands a surrender. King Ahab, perplexed, considers resistance useless, until the Lord's message revived his courage, directing him to proceed with the battle. A great victory for the Israelites was gained—partly because the Syrian king was very drunk, and many of his lords with him. All the wars of the past, however, pale into insignificance before the pres- ent great struggle in Europe. The rapidity with which modern guns are fired and the terrible slaughter accomplished are appalling. Authentic reports declare that twelve millions have already been killed, wounded or made prisoners; and we may safely assume that ent great struggle in Europe. The rapidity with which modern guns are fired and the terrible slaughter accomplished are appalling. Authentic reports declare that twelve millions have already been killed, wounded or made prisoners; and we may safely assume that the armies now contending number ten millions. The Scriptures seem to declare that this terrible war will bring no great victory to any of the contestants, but that eventually all the nations thus engaged will be terribly weakened, not only in loss of able manhood, but also financially. King Ahab. It is a sad reflection upon our boasted civilization that such a war should be considered the only way by which the great nations could come to an agreement on matters of mutual interest respecting an earth which God has given to the children of men as their common heritage. When we reflect that the warring nations claim to be Christian, the thought is all the more horrible. Our only comfort is in the thought that the poor deluded people do not understand the meaning of the term Christian, and that the great mass of them never were Christians. True Christians no doubt are to be found in all the armies of the countries where conscription is law, and are endeavoring to show forth the Lord's praises, even under such terrible conditions. Surely mankind are awakening to a realization of the fact that the boasted four hundred million Christians are for the most part as far from God and from Christian ideals as are the twelve hundred million heathens! Their awakening should help them to realize what the true Church is, and that her mission is not to convert the world, but to prepare herself to become "the Bride, the Lamb's Wife." If the war should teach this lesson to any considerable number, it will not have been in vain. Why God Permits War. God's penalty upon our race is death—come how it may. For six thousand years the penalty has been in operation, and the entire race is going down to the tomb under that sentence, "Dying, thou shalt die." The hope for all is in Christ and through His death—by the resurrection of the dead, which He will accomplish during the Millennium. His faithful Church will be the first resurrected, and to a plane of glory, honor and immortality. The remainder of the world will come forth, "every man in his own order," as the Bible declares.—1 Corinthians 15:21-25. Meantime, from the Divine viewpoint, all mankind are falling asleep in death, to await their awakening in Messiah's Kingdom and the beginning then of the grand opportunity which our Lord has secured for all, whereby they may escape from sin and death. The Divine promises and provision are that under Messiah's Kingdom wars and all other calamities will be made to cease forever. Speaking of the effect of His Millennial King- The Princes of 14 rael. dom, our Lord declares that the curse will be rolled away; and that God's blessing will come instead, until there shall be no more sighing, dying, crying or pain. Thenceforth every sinful thought, word and act will receive punishment; while every good thought, word and act will surely receive a blessing.—Acts 3:19-23; Isaiah 26:9. Some have asked, "Does God give special direction to His spirit-begotten children respecting war, or are they in this matter subject to the powers that be?" We reply that all His people are soldiers of the Cross, and that the Apostle forewarned us that the weapons of our warfare are not carnal. (2 Corinthians 10:4.) Nowhere in the Bible are God's consecrated people commissioned to fight, to kill, to take from others either life or property. The present great war is merely a demonstration that if any considerable number of those participating in it ever were Christians, they have been merely "babes in Christ," and did not understand the teachings of the Lord. All thinking people should see that it is a commercial war, for gain or for supremacy upon the seas.
