VOL. XXXVI,NO. 21 THE GREAT PAGEANT DR. DU BOI'B GREAT PAGEANT, "THE STAR OF ETHIOPIA," A GREAT SUCCESS. ANDREW F. HILYER. The First Separate Battallion Receives an Ovation—The Singing of "John Brown's Body" Etc., By an Audience of 8,000—Beautiful Singing by the Large Chorus—The Greatest Event In the History of Colored America Americans. The Great Pageant, "The Star of Ethiopia," which has held Colored Washington in its grip for the last three weeks, was enacted on the evenings of October 11, 13, and 15, 1915, at the Baseball Park, to admiring and applauding thousands. The weather was ideal and contributed much to the success of the pageant as well as to the comfort of the masses of men, women and children who had the good fortune to witness it. Superintendent Thurston Gave Ald. The Pageant was composed by Dr. W. E. B. Du Bols, editor of the Crisis, and was produced here under his personal direction. To white ladies donated $3,000.00 as a guarantee fund to make it possible to render the pageant in at least ten cities. The local co-operation was furnished by the National Pageant and Dramatic Association of which Mr. L. M. Hershaw is president. A large number of public spirited citizens pledged a local guarantee fund of $1,000 dollars. More than 1,000 voluntary actors took part and a well-trained chors of 200 voices contributed the singing. contributed the "The Star of Ethiopia" was undoubtedly the biggest thing in the drama that Washington has ever had, yet only a very few white persons came to see it. The co-operation of the Board of Education and Mr. E, L. Thurston, superintendent of schools, was early and freely given, and except for the co-operation and help of the Colored Schools, the unusual success which the Pageant achieved would not have been possible. History of Our Origin. A group of professional men from Howard laid the foundation stone of the "Tower of Light," which is "Knowledge. Mr. Fred Pelham and Kelly Miller, Jr., made the electric "Star of Ethio- pia. Co-operation Made the Pageant Possible" The amount of co-operation which the Pageant brought out was wonderful. The principals of the High Schools, Mossrs, Williams, Wilkinson, Saunders and Newman, were ever ready to help. All the helmets and spears were made at Armstrong Manual. Miss Gertrude Ryan with the assistance of many others designed and made all of the head gear. Mr W. D. Nixon and Mr. S. D. Milton gave much volunteer service in painting the scenery. Mr. R. C. Edmundson gave, two weeks of his time from the office to the work. Mr. Louis Mellinger and Mrs. Hallie Queen rendered valuable assistance on the headgear. Mr. and Mrs. Glenn had charge of the actors and devoted much time to the work. Mrs. Candle W. Clifford performed yeoman service in bringing in guarantors. There were of course many, many others. Indeed the spirit of operation was so general and all persuasive that it is quite impossible to do more than mention a few instances that come to the notice of the writer. Not less than 1,200 persons co-operated in giving praise for his or her part in the great success, which all of us jointly have achieved. The services of the boyscouts were invaluable. They were always on the spot when needed and paraded the streets each evening with fife and drum corps toprise the Pageant. advice. To me the one great lesson which the Pagestan has taught 'us' is the power of co-operation. If we can get large groups of our people to work together for a common purpose, ignoring the chronic "knockers," who will are place a limit on our capacity to do great things. "The Star of Ethiopia" is a serious effort by our most distinguished scholar to use the drama in a large form to teach the history of our origin, to stimulate the study of the history of the peoples from whom we have sprung, to ennoble our youth and to furnish our people with high ideals, hope and inspiration. The influence of the drama on the life of a people is admitted by all writers on the subject to be very great. Shall our men and women of dramatic talent allow low valuemile and semi-smart skils to set the taste of our people for amusement? The success of this Pageant shows conclusively that there is interest in our race all the innate qualities of the highest civilization and that our only problem is to bring the masses of our people to appreciate entertainments of this class. It was well known by Dr. Du Bois, by the ladies who so kindly donated the three thousand dollars, and by all of the persons in this city who guaran teed the $1,000 that a Pageant probably would not pay expenses. Yet gave their money to educate the people to enjoy a higher type of amusement. Amusements that liff them up rather than pull them down. The local guarantors will be repaid for dollar. Highest Mark of Civilization. It is remarkable that fifty years after Emancipation, the recently enslaved race should produce a man who has proposed a dramatic work that enlisted in its production hundred of their money and their time and many have made serious sacrifices to bring it out in completed form, and which has brought thousands of people to see it. It seems to me this is undoubted evidence that there is in the innate capacity for doing great things and that this man at least of our race has reached the highest mark of civilization. mark of the "The Star of Ethiopia" covers a period of 10,000 years, and more in the mythology, history and development of our race. It vividly tells the story of its work, its suffering, triumphs and hopes as an integral part of the human family. The author has most skillfully combined symbolic truth and historic accuracy, all woven into an entertainment for a couple hours that has set all Washington to talking about it. "The Star of Ethiopia" is great because it touches every human interest through the soul. The Story of the Passage The story is divided into five scenes and twelve episodes. We first hear the measured heat of tom-toms, followed by an African Savage "Prelude," composed by Major Charles A. Young of the U. S. Army, for some time stationed in Liberia. This music is extremely weird, thrilling and full of savage characteristics. Very soon the lightnings flash, the rolls of thunder are heard, mingled with the roar and cries of wild beasts. Now hundreds of savages, the Kushites, rush in over the mountain hill and kneel before the great "Black Rock," which was their place of worship. The chorus chants a savage prayer and a human sacrifice is offered. "Shango," the Thunder God, is appeased and the storm abates. The danger over the savages dance and make merry to the tune of Colderidge-Taylor's "Bambula." Very soon "Shango" appears to them, summons "Ethiopia" and enlows her with "The Star of Freedom," which he has brought from Heaven, and tells her to keep it shining in high Heaven forever, assigns two angels to guard it and gives her three sprites from Heaven as emblems of his love to accompany her. He tells her that the time has now come for her people to advance" and that he would entrust them with the knowledge of the use of iron. "Ethiopia" now mingles with her people and shows them how to extract iron from the earth. The savages fashion all sorts of iron implements and with a savage glee go forth to down the wild beasts and to stay their enemies. We are The scene quickly changes. Woman in Egypt. There is an Egyptian Temple and the Sphinx. "Priests and worshippers file out of the temple. They are in the midst of their worship when the Kushites, having conquered all of their neighbors, rush in, but are appeased by the friendliness of the Egyptians and perhaps dazed by the splendor of the civilization and culture before their eyes. The two peoples, fraternize and finally blend. One of the Kushite chiefs is crowned a Pharoah and his dynasty reigns for hundreds of years. Visits in royal state are made by the Queen of Sheba and other noted African Rulers who are royally entertained.

JONES AMERICA MUST REDEEM HER NATIONAL PLEDGE OF "SACRED HONOR"—CALLED TO THE BAR OF. HER. OWN COURTS FOR AN OCCOUNTING. Speech Delivered by Cornellus J. Jones, resident of Muskegue, Okla., but Chief Counsel for the Civil War Cotton Revenue Tax Claimants of Sixty-Eight Million Dollars, with Herdquarters at Memphis, Tenn.; Delivered before a Large Mass Meeting of Colored Citizens of the State of Maryland at Baltimore on October 15, 1915. Speech Delivered by Cornelius J. Jones. My Fellow Citizens, I recognize the fact that today I stand on the Mason and Dixon线, which fifty-two years ago was the dividing line of slavery freedom in this country: and freedom. The question of freedom having been settled, the consequences of slavery have left an unsettled account in favor of a class of persons who are peculiarly separated in their claim to this balance, separate and apart from the balance of their fellows in former toil; and, as a consequence, those persons in whose favor this balance prevails, have sought an orderly adjustment of this unsettled debit, by bringing a suit for that purpose in the court of competent juris diction. The specific grounds for the suit filed in the Supreme court of the District of Columbia, July 13th, 1915, present a question grave and important, one of the service claimed for: because of the need. But, when it is brought to the notice of those who might be of weak heart in this matter, that is a suit in a court of Equity, where substantial justice is sought, and through a tribunal vested with large inherent powers, one which can extend its powers beyond the narrow confines of the strict statutory prescriptions, and through this broad jurisdiction of the court, we have come asking that the court extend its authority to our relief. We are mindful of the technical argument that the statute of limitation should operate against our claim, and to accommodate such views, we are pleased to state just what our claim is. It is well known that many years ago, there prevailed in the south a system of involuntary servitude operating against a certain class of persons in this country; and through this system, those who make claim as heirs thereof, labored in the south in the production of cotton. In the year of 1860, there was a presidential election throughout the United States; and Abraham Lincoln was elected president; for the period covering years of 1859 to 1860, the price of cotton went appreciably low, and the farmers of the south who had had this cotton produced by the labor of these persons under the operation of this system of involuntary servitude, to a very large extent, prior to 1859 and up, to the open rebellion of the South, stored this cotton, and did not make sale of it. The civil war was brewing through 1859 '60, and in 1861, the civil war broke out; and confusion prevailed all over the country; and this 'cotton had no practicable value whatever; still during the years intervening between 1859 and 1868, cotton was made in the South under either the direct opera of this system or under the influence prevailing as a result of such system; and these persons were compelled to produce this cotton throughout the years of 1859 to '63, and for five years prior to emancipation, which all minds have common knowledge. And, being under this system, they were incapacitated to contract for duress and coercion; and such labor resulted in the production of many bales of cotton. In 1862, the Congress placing a tax of 2 1-2 cents per pound United States, and enforced this law, and in law, strengthening the former law, in many particulars, and made the tax 3 cents per pound on raw cotton; this tax lawing the cotton was repealed by Congress in 1868; but by that time there had been collected as raw cotton tax money. $68,072,388.99; in 1866.a Western Dist. of Tenn., contesting the raw cotton in the manner provided by the terms of the several acts of Congress as stated, and this case was tested bitterly from 1866 and finally not the constitutionality thereof; and to this good day this $68,072,388.99 has been unappropriated by Congress, and is now in the Federal Treasury, though collected with the pretense of the then current war debts. Remember, that since the time of raised this cotton, the laborers who become capable to proceed for compensation for labor performed in the production thereof; and while the cotton itself has long since passed out of control of the court; and the money, realized by this taxation, is all sight, now these persons claim, that as there is no hope for them to cover for their labor from the cotton they raise, they come into court and ask that the law making this money a legitimate asset of the Government, be set aside, and held violate of the Constitution in the collection thereof; and alleging that the Federal Government has no right to the money, and this money is result not receive any pay; and the contention is vested with power to intervene and declare these plaintiffs a lien on said money to extent of one undivided interest each, according to their mutual prayer in their bill, as far as it may go toward adjusting their claim for such money. It is not contended that a court of law could well extend its jurisdiction to reach this character of case but that a court of equity, which has broad and almost unlimited inherent power and authority over matters of such nature, wherever the exercise of such jurisdiction seeks to meet out such stantial justice to the litigating parties. The question of the legality of sissery, not one to be heard in tried here; this is simply a suit for compensation for specific labor perSON of asking; that the fruit of this labor which is in sight, be held charged with an equitable lien thereon for the satisfaction of the labor producing the material from which this fruit has been plucked. In material as to who caused it in sight at this time; whether unconstitutional methods of Congress or not; the fact is, the money is sight, and we assert a claim again in between it, and we assert that a court equity is clothed with ample power. and authority to relieve against the injury shown to exist against these claimants. It has been asserted that there is no precedent existing to uphold the contention of claimants; we freely admit that there is no precedent of the court having ever had this character of labor contested for, in the history of our Government, and thereby renew our claim to the right of establishing right here, and at this time within the history of this Government, a precedent for correction of this ancient wrong. There are new incidents arising each day of our lives and in the general intercourse of public affairs, that there must be new precedents established to meet and settle meritorious contentions emanating from parties justifiably complaining. The fact that such a claim has never been asserted before is the poorest kind of argument against the equity of a claim, otherwise meritorious. The questions to be disposed of are: (1) Did the claimants labor to raise the cotton so taxed? (2) and did the tax so laid by the congress produce this money claimed by these claimants? (3) Did these claimants receive any compensation for their labor at that time or since? (4) And if not, why did they not receive compensation? And as to the right of the Government to keep this money, we ask the questions: (1) Did the Congress have the authority under the Constitution of the United States to lay this direct tax on raw cotton? (2) And if it did, why did not the Supreme Court of the United States so decide when the case was before it at the time? (3) And further, if it were a legitimate asset of the Government, why did not Congress make appropriations from this fund during these fifty years the money has been slumbering in the Treasury? We contend (1) that the money is not the money of the Government; that the tax was illegal. Continued to page ANNOUNCEMENT EXTRAORDI- NARY Mr. W. W.

JONES Continued From First Page (2) that the cotton from which this tax was derived has been placed beyond the lien of these claimants, and at a time and under circumstances over which these claimants had no legal status, and when they were helpless to object or protest against removal of the cotton without account for labor lien. But now that they are able to speak in court and have a voice, it is in ample time, to reach some of the fruit of their toll; and hence, this suit is brought in a formal manner, and an orderly adjustment of the claim is applied for in the court which alone has power and inherent jurisdiction of such matters; and we invoke that time worn, but ever available principle of equity, wherein there is no wrong without a remedy somewhere, within the inherent power of the courts. As to the doctrine of precedents again we assert that we are proceeding without any past guide. There is no decision upholding our contention, and there is no precedent against our contention, because a like contention has never been made; but the fact that there has been; no case like this one ever prosecuted in a court, is no reason there should not be relief secured in this case, when we show that substantial gain to others has been obtained as a result of labor extorted from plaintiffs. There was no precedent by the Constitution for creation of the Presidential Commission in 1877 when such a commission was created for settlement of the Presidential embroglio between Hayes and Tilden, but there was a commission, and the Presidency was settled. And there are numerous instances where there have existed no precedents; yet necessity made a precedent. The question of pay for labor is no new question; but the claim by these plaintiffs for previous servitude is one whether with or without a precedent, shall be, somewhere, some day, and at some time, emphatically settled once for all, and we contend that the time is now, and the place at the bar of this court. This question is too broad and fraught with too much justice to be waived aside with the filmsy contention that it is without precedent, or that it is not a popular favorite in the light of present expedients; but we say there is justice and equity in our claim, and under our jurisprudence such a contest arising from the injury occasioned by the abuse of those rights, necessity will swing open the doors of the courts and carve its way through the malaise of absent precedents direct to the citadel where repose substantial justice and equity. This country is a wonderful land indeed. The circumstances under which our national life was created serves as a lesson which exemplifies the truth that in America there is no condition, 'however complex, that there is not a way to the house of justice. The nation pledged the world in the morning of our national life that for the equality of the birth of all men, and the adherence to the declaration that life, liberty, and pursuit of individual happiness were inalienable rights of all men; yes, for these sacred principles the American people pledged their lives, fortunes, and sacred honor, and at that time made Almighty God their sacred witness. Until these pledges are wholly fulfilled or repealed by the authority which made them, these laws stand pre-eminently supreme, and carry within their embrace the sovereign power of enforcement through the agency of the courts created therefor. I apologize for delving thus far into the antiquity of the situation, but this course is taken in order that I may enter into the full discussion of the previous condition of servitude as obtained in this country in spite of these hitherto sacred pledges to the contrary. I shall not enter into any unholly criticism as to the causes leading up to, the incidental happenings growing out of the condition as obtained, but will say that the condition of previous servitude in this country and the incomplete settlement of all the wrongs thereof has left an issue, the trial of which must be had somewhere in the not distant future; and this generation can not creditably postpone efforts for an orderly but permanent adjustment. This condition presents a contest which must inevitably grow sharper and more acute as the years cycle themselves affairs. if we would develop to the highest and conserve the power that lies within us. The condition of previous servitude in America will ever be an epoch in the history of the negro race; it is as essentially chronicled among the world's events as that of the landing of the Mayflower, the Revolutionary War, the civil war, and other incidents within the history of the country; and the grappling with the vicissitudes in consequence thereof, will ultimately develop us in strength, which always reaps reward and bids us to enjoy the fruits of industry and self-denial. It is not possible for us to rise to the height among other races of the earth were, we to attempt the avoidance of the issue presented by this condition, and deceive ourselves into the idea that there is no condition of previous servitude for us to face, or that such a condition, if at all, is visionary and sectional. The solution of the problem is not to be accomplished immediately, nor does any one of us expect a happy result, in the labors incident to that solution it is our determination to add to our record for good citizenship, and thereby grow daily in our racial strength; continue in the building in the light of possibilities within, and that character for uprightness, for all that term implies, of which we as a race are so eminently capable; and while thus bestirling ourselves, we mean to keep alive the history already made by the race for its honesty, integrity, and forbearance within the limits of endurance. We share the common love and admiration for our country, and will keep green the memory of our fathers in the work of upbuilding; and in every way identifying ourselves in the more complete development of this country. Thus it is apparent, that this spirit of industry and conviction that the wrong of that servitude has not been fully corrected, it is, therefore, confidently asserted by the plaintiffs in this case that they should be relieved by the hand of equity, and thereby be awarded a lien on certain money now held by the Secretary of the Treasury of the United States: The question may present itself to the mind of some persons whether these persons, who at a time when they, by a prevailing system through out the country, were not regarded (by that system, of course), as capable of contract or be heard in any manner whatever in consideration of their rights as persons entitled to legal notice, either in the courts of the country, then or otherwise, even though they were compelled to produce this cotton under this system can now, though emancipated from all disabilities which therefore obtained, now come into court and request relief for labor exhorted of them as stated under the system. A settlement of this question must certainly determine the right of these plaintiffs to recover in a court of equity. To arrive at the equity in this character of case, we must reason out some of the events which transpired, and see if we can not come to a conclusion which will place us within our claim. It must be admitted that the labor of these people during the prevalence of the system produced this cotton; that some persons were made happy and prosperous thereby; and at the same time, did not pay these laborers any compensation for this happiness and prosperity they enjoyed. It must be admitted further that this labor was certain and specific in its results, and certain and specific in the deal of enjoyment and comfort to some persons who did not do the toiling for this resulting happiness and prosperity. These facts are willingly admitted by every one. Then the question must hinge on the further proposition, that under the system these laborers could not expect any compensation. Just here comes the very abiding truth which was overlooked, and ever has been overlooked; but, the overlooking this truth did not rob it of its value as a truth, that these people were never consigned to the fate of this system with their free will and accord; and that the prevalence of the system was one of force on the part of the strong and the powerful. And if the prosperity and happiness which the strong and powerful resulted from the coercion of the weak and helpless, where, under the canopy of heaven, could a court of equity sit with eyes closed to an appeal from this helpless element when they ask that the fruits of their enforced toll be shared with them. The very purpose of courts of equity is to relieve wherein the strict terms of the statutes fall short; and the same right of the bondmen to recover in this case, is exemplified in the history of the Emancipation Proclamation. There was no new law enacted by Congress, nor was there any new provisions enacted in the Constitution for the exercise of the power by the President to emancipate the slaves; but, owing to the demands made by a crying emergency which had arisen in the history of the Government, the inherent power which had slumbered within the limitations of the Constitution was touched by the needle of necessity, and instantly those hitherto dormant powers sprang into living, actuality and breathed forth in all of their predominant majesty. It was not the exercise of any powers known to the prescribed laws which brought about this result, but the inherent equitable functions with which every executive of our country has been clothed since the first inauguration of George Washington, for the first time within four generations after the adoption of the Constitution this power had been awakened from its cradle of infant slumber. But, though asleep, it existed. might be argued that lilens are specific remedies, and are mere statutory creatures; to which we reply that were this proceeding for a statutory lien, we could not be heard in a court competent to adjudicate that question; for we would have to show ourselves as having fully complied with all the terms of the statute which created such a lien; necessarily, condition of contract; compliance there; diligence in the enforcement thereof, and certainty of the party against whom the lien is asserted. Not a single one of these grounds obtains in our case, for the reason we were prohibited by the very laws themselves from ever assuming any compliance with the statutory terms; and hence years rolled on and time ripened into decades and generations, placing us beyond all possibility of preparation for the lien occasion under the strict statutes; and all this experience being with a voice from us; and from this condition we must reaffirm the doctrine of limitation of statutory action, and give the following as the reason. Although this matter has been gone over earlier in this address, I repeat it. It is common history that during the years 1858, 1859, 1860, 1861 of the cotton rains of the South held their cotton from market, expecting their cotton after the election of 1860; hence this cotton produced in gin houses, warehouses, storerooms and barns, awaiting higher prices. After war broke out, in 1861 the Congress, in 1862, imposed a revenue tax on raw cotton to the extent of 2½ cents per pound; covering all cotton raised in the United States. Then, it must be observed, that the revenue collectors, in the enforcement of this law, imposed this tax on all cotton found in the United States, which, of course, reached this cotton which had been stored, as before stated, for the years of 1858 up to 1862; and wherever this cotton was found, even after 1862, though raised in 1858 and up and after 1862 clear until the tax was repealed in 1868, some of this cotton raised within the period covering 1858 to 1863 was selzed and held for this revenue tax. And, as the system of involuntary attitude was in vogue until 1863, hence all the cotton run from place to place, and subsequently found by the revenue collectors, coupled with the cotton which was produced subsequent to 1862 up to and includingapse in the sequence of payment over 1861. treasury; and up to the repeal of the law in 1868, $68,072,388.99 was the sum collected; and as a vast amount of this cotton tax came from cotton produced before the law became effective, and produced by these plaintiffs, and that tax being mingled with the tax collected from cotton produced after the law was enacted, and after the freedom of the negroes, and it being universally admitted that the tax was an unconstitutional assumption of power by the Congress enacting the law creating this tax, and now that the negroes can sue for themselves in courts having proper jurisdiction of the subject matter, and having no voice in the disposition of the fruit of their labor, in the cotton itself, which has passed without jurisdiction of the court before these disabilities of plaintiffs were removed by emancipation and constitutional amendment, and this sum of money, the direct fruit of the particular cotton for these particular years is now in sight and within jurisdiction of the court of proper procedure, these plaintiffs, who actually raised the cotton and prepared it for market, and made it fit and proper object of taxation by the Government at the time the tax was imposed, ask that they and the children of those who raised the cotton, but have since died, be declared a lien on this money now in sight held by the Treasurer. We assert, and put it up to the adjudication of the court, that the Government has no interest in the money; nor has the Secretary of the Treasury any right or legal interest in the money he holds; but that he holds the money, he is made defendant, and asked to show whatever interest he may think he has in the money. Remember that we claim for the persons who produced this cotton, not for all persons who might have been dominated by the system of servitude during these years: for if one was a housemaid, a footman, seamstress, housegirl or houseboy, and all such vocations as did not carry them into the field, or in some way contributed to the raising or preparation of this cotton for market, and made it capable for taxation by the Government under the revenue statutes, these are not plaintiffs in this suit, but only the actual producers. Thus if is clearly seen, that this suit is no part of the commonly known old ex-slab movement, which has attracted congressional attention so often. The-old ex-slab movement alims for the pensioning of all persons who were dominated by the system of slavery in this country, and makes sweeping claim to Federal benefactions for all. In this suit we ask nothing from Congress in the way of appropriations but we ask that money now in the Treasury, and having been there for fifty-two years, be now subject to len for the laborers who made the cotton from which this money was realized. "It might be argued that we should have brought our action in the court of claims. We will state that this is not the proper course for relief under under our contentions. We claim that the Government has no interest nor claim to this money under the terms of the Constitution; and if the Government has no interest in the money, how can we sue the Government, and in the same breath claim that it has no interest in the matter sued for? Another thing, the court of claims is a special court provided by Congress which has jurisdiction only of such matters as Congress gives it jurisdiction over, and then only when the Government is a party. We claim the Government is not a party to this suit, then one can well see that it is preposterous to talk of suing in the court of claims. The claims of these plaintiffs have to be asserted in a court with broad and inherent jurisdiction and power; one capable of extending its strong arm to the limit of its specific and inherent prerogatives for the true corrections of wrongs complained of. In this case we have no time to pander to empty sentiment. Neither racial nor sectional. We are not siding as slaves supplicating our masters, but as free people waging an honest straightforward contest for the correction of an ancient wrong. We are thorough in our convictions, both as to the justice underlying our contention and the tribunal entered. We not expect the court of original entry to settle this question, because all questions and propositions in this case are gigantic problems. This suit is based on the grounds that the high court of conscience alone can mete out the ends of justice according to the conditions presented by the plaintiff's bill. And under American jurisprudence, wrongs shown to be suffered by a party, the correction of which (being no fault of party complaining), can not be extended because of lack of law or precedent, the judicial rock of ages ever stands firmly anchored in the ocean of perplexities, and the prerogative of the people cry out and extend relief through the inherent power of their courts of equity.

Which he had when the Bible was written; This name in truth covers all mixtures in Ham's descendents, and is much better fitted. We see no Word Negro in Holy Writ. Then why degrade Hamite-Americans with words like unto it. Why be proud of the word Negro with its capital 'N,' It leads to nothing but some black thing. The word Negro in Spanish means any black thing; Hamite-Americans are descendents of Ethiopians, Egyptians, Hamites, and Kings. The word Negro in Spanish means black; Its origin is in the Spanish language about eight centuries back. The Blacks, like other people, talk, work and sing; Why not use the name which leads to their noble ancestry with no degrading sting. The word Negro for all Colored Americans is not a name in truth; Let Hamite-Americans think and remove all degrading words of stigma in their youth. God said, Let us make man; He loved all colors in His plan. Our own American land, the best and first. Here the Blacks are hated worst. Man exist by animal, vegetable, and mineral colors. In God's great plan we should always follow. Let us stop Race-prejudice on account of color. And prevent a world of trouble that always follows. The Blacks are at the mercy of the mob; Many evil spirits have done the cruel job. Black United States citizens have rights even in the States. They should be protected wherever They should be protected wherever the white man hates. The South will not give us a fair vote, But we have great hope in our Supreme Court. Give the Blacks a god and fair chance, And our country's glory they will always enhance. Don't bother about color in our great progress; America must lead civilization in all the great West. Ye Anglo-Saxons, Normans, Picts and Danes, Why hate your own Colored brothers and cause a world of shame. In ages past the Blacks for the whites have made fortunes in King Cotton; With a square deal and fair chance, let not all these significant facts be now forgotten. In every battle fought, a Black patriot's name they sought; The Blacks captured the works at New Market Heights; That's why their descendants should have equal rights. The blacks look on their patriotic record with pride and cheer. Because the Union has been saved by the Colored Volunteer. When attacked by any foreign foe, We will need the Blacks as of yore. The Blacks led the van of civilization in the splendors of ancient yore, And with God and grace they may become, as they were once before. Sin and idolatry caused their mighty fall, But the Blacks are rising fast to hear God's loving call. ROBERT ALLEN Buffet and Family Liquor Store Phone North 2340 1917 14th Street, N. W.

Cleveland Advocate, the successful rival of The Gazette. The Bee does not know whether Hon. H. C. I has ever asked the Governor for an appointment or not,, but has been informed by Ohioans here that he sent letters to many asking that they write the Governor advising him to recognize the editor of The Gazette. The Bee admires Editor Smith, and believes that if Governor Willis is disposed to recognize a man who takes pride in praising himself, he will appoint Editor Smith. No newspaper ever on The Bee's exchange list ever kept a cut of an official and personal letters of an official standing in each issue so long as Editor Smith keeps the cut and letters of Governor Willis. The Bee joins with Ohioans here in Washington in recommending Editor Smith, the man who claims to be the architect of everything in sight, to Governor Willis for appointment. Editor Smith's appointment would be entirely satisfactory to Editor Smith, The Bee believes. Published at: 1109 Eye St. N. W., Washington, D. C. W. CALVIN CHASE, EDITOR Entered at the Post Office at Washington, D. C., as second-class mail matter. ESTABLISHED 1880 TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION. WHY NOT H. C. SMITH? The Bee would like to ask why Governor Willis of Ohio does not appoint Hon. H. C. Smith, the fighting editor of the Cleveland Gazette, to office. Editor Smith has run a cut of Governor Willis in his paper every issue since the election a year ago. The Bee also has observed that Editor Smith keeps standing in his paper one or more letters written to him by the Governor. These two facts alone merit Hon. Harry C. Smith's appointment. Editor Smith has also. The Bee has noted for years, fought every Colored man in Ohio, and has claimed the honor for every thing except the launching of The THE BEE The Bee, in an editorial last October, took occasion to call attention to the fact that during the first two weeks of the session of the Criminal Division of the District Supreme Court, six persons were acquitted of the charges preferred against them, and all except one were represented by colored attorneys. During the same period of this term, the same number of acquittals have been scored, but not a single white lawyer's name appears on the records of these six victories. And this is all the more remarkable when we con sider the number of criminal cases handled thus far. Attorneys Fountain Peyton and Thomas L. Jones secured the release of two defendants, indicted for robbery, after their conviction seemed almost a certainty. The manner in which the trial was conducted brought forth commendation from hundreds of spectators, as well as from the score of court officials. Attorney Royal Hughes, in his quiet and sedate manner, comes in for a double share of the honors, for thus far, he has the distinction of being the only man who has had two clients acquitted. One of these was charged with robbery, and one with larceny from the United States, both of which are hard cases to defend, and yet, by his eloquence he "turned 'em here." loose. The fifth acquital was secured by Attorney Clarence W. Tignor in the case of Manie Thomas, charged with bigamy. The girl had a plurality of husbands, and each was there to testify in the matter, but somehow the lawyer convinced the jury that she thought one dead when she married the other. Anyhow, they said "not guilty," and the girl went home. Attorney Harry L. Tighor immediately followed his brother attorney and represented Maud Monroe, charged with grand larceny. She was alleged to have stolen a gold watch, valued at seventy-five dollars, from Ernest Crowder. The watch was there and the supposed victim was there, but after skillfull maneuvering on the part of the lawyer, this dependant too received a verdict of "not guilty." This is the first time in many years where two such verdicts have been returned in immediate succession. And thus we see that the men who are doing the legal work of the community are holding their own, and even more. It may be pointed out too that two of the attorneys mentioned in this editorial, Harry L. Tignor and Fountain Peyton, were also named in the article of last year. The time seems to have come when the colored people realize that the colored member of the bar is an important factor in the legal world. They are doing the work, and they are doing it properly. Let the good work go on, and let's give them more work to do. Their triumph is at hand. murdered and slaughtered the citizens of many countries and she has demanded through her first chief she has been given. Poor little Haiti that had a fight over a game of craps and pursued the chief crap shooter to the door of the French legation, at Haiti, had every custom port seized and she must ratify a treaty to abstain from any more crap shooting and petty fights for ten years. On the other hand all Europe is carrying on a gigantic slaughter of American citizens and innocent babies and women of other countries, and all that is done about it is to send the invaders and the guilty parties a note requesting an explanation or an apology not to commit any offenses. If the other country doesn't feel that an apology is necessary the United States must be contented with no answer at all. Certainly, this is a great country when black men and women are involved. This is a great country when a black republic has some thing that this country cannot purchase from it, but will take by force. The United States seized the little black republic and took possession of everything in sight. When an attempt was made to seize Mexico this powerful government was called to a halt. Why? Because the Mexicans had sufficient munition of war regardless of conditions, to defend themselves against foreign foes. It is quite evident that Haiti had something that the United States wanted, it could not be purchased, but her custom houses were seized for future operation, or if conditions should require, further invasion of Japan: This country had better prepare to meet Japan, no matter how friendly she may appear to be. Haiti has committed no offense against the United States. States. Mexico has not only defied the laws and the administrative powers of this government, but she has RAIDS. It is so strange that certain police precinets are able to see crowds of colored citizens congregating in and around colored theaters and their eyes are blind to the crowds of white men around white theaters? Why are so many raids made when colored citizens congregate and white crowds are permitted to go unmolested? In the vicinity of Fourteenth street from T to You, north to Fifteenth street, west to Sixth street, east on You, is a colored boulevard. It is a spectacular sight. Some of the very best colored citizens may be seen promading these boulevards. Some of the pedestrians may stop and speak to some friend; an officer will come along, as he generally does, and place the entire company under arrest. These police rails are becoming notorious and Negro informers and pimps are becoming notorious. The Bee cannot believe that the chief of police orders these raids. The Bee takes this opportunity of calling his attention to this seeming unnecessary activity of some of his men. Then again, The Bee doesn't believe that the police department indorses the interference to colored business places by a few of the officers. Unnecessary meddling and interference and walking into a place of business where liquor is sold and by chance a woman may be seated at a table drinking and eating a sandwich, she comes out and tells the officer that she purchased liquor without a meal and without corroborating evidence the proprietor of a saloon is arrested and placed under bond. Should such high handed proceedings be tolerated? The Bee feels confident that Major Pullman doesn't encourage such proceedings and neither does The Bee believe that any credit would be given to an officer who makes such an arrest. The police department is for the protection of the people and their business, property and interest and not to prosecute them. It would be a hardship on the proprietor or a saloon to be deprived of his license for such subterfuge or on such a flimsy charge. THE UNITED STATES: The United States is a great country for all classes of people except the colored Americans. The corrupt statesmen and thieving politicians, have no more regard for right and justice than they have for a bull frog with his hind legs cut off. Whenever the Negro has anything the white man wants and cannot purchase it, he will steal or take it by force or subterfuge. There is a difference between a Mexican and a Haitian Negro. While the Mexicans fight among themselves and against each other, they generally combine against the invasion of foreign forces, while the Haitians fight among themselves and against each other they will combine with a foreign foe to their own dethronement. where he is known; a traitor by nature; a menace in good society who should be branded as Benedict Arnold. A person who would enter your household and sup with you and betray you as Christ was betrayed is not entitled to the respect and confidence of a black snake. All honor to Superintendent Thurston for his aid in making the Pageant a success. Some Editors cannot get respectable people to work for them, the reason is they don't protect them against insults and impositions. PIMPS AND INFORMERS. In the days of the inquisition pimps and informers were put to death. Pimps and informers during the days of slavery were prevalent among the ignorant slaves. The slaves were taught to watch and inform on one another. But, in this day and time where education and civilization reign the informers are not supposed to exist. But how mistaken we are. These individuals exist right in our midst and are from the leading families in the city. They have had the advantage of an education and their environments are of the highest culture. But it seems that education, refinement and high culture have not checked these individuals. The disease is in the blood and for a few dollars they possess the characteristics of Judas and betray, not only Christ but their own households. An informer in any community is a dangerous character. He is an outcaste "CHINS THE BAR," GIRL DIES. Father Attributes Death to Gymnastic Work in School. New York World. From the N. Maude G. Porter, 16 years, is dead of heart trouble at her home, 237 Golden avenue, Flushing. Her father, Clarence E. Porter, says her death was due to gymnastic exercises in a public school. He believes she injured her heart when "chinning the bar. The school authorities replied that Maude had been frequently excused from physical exercises. As to "chinning the bar," teachers said that girls were not required to do that at all, and they had never known words Borter to attempt it. A sixteen year old-school girl in New York City died of heart trouble this week. Her father says her death was due to gymnastic exercises in a public school. This physical culture fad in the public schools is going to the extreme. One is lead to believe nowadays that a child's brains are in their arms or legs by these pseudo physical culture teachers. The stunts that students in high and normal schools go through are a little short of the training that prizefighters undergo. These violent exercises must cease and the sooner school officials put a stop to them the better our public school system will. Let the school teachers return to the sane methods of gymnastics and teach calisthenics and deep breathing breathing. The Bee has knowledge of a case in our public schools where a physical culture teacher is inclined to be prejudiced because one of her pupils who is physically inaequacapitated to perform all the gmynastics she goes through. Data is being gathered and an investigation will soon follow. THE PAGEANT. In another column of this weeks issue of The Bee will be read with interest a full and concise descriptive report of the great Pageant, from the pen of that scholar and versatile writer, Andrew F. Hilyer. Mr. Hilyer deals with this great event in a manner that cannot but impress the readers of The Bee. There has never been an event that has ever taken place in this city in which race pride and unison of action were more pronounced. Everybody was interested in its success and everything was done to make it successful. Superintendent E. L. Thurston comes in for his share of credit because he was among the school officials who demonstrated his loyalty to the cause. cause. Prof. L. M. Hershaw was foremost among the local promoters and to him much credit is due. Those who had charge of the making of the costumes are entitled to the highest commendation.

One of the most touching scenes during the funeral ceremonies of Mrs. Moore, after a most eloquent sermon by the Rev. Sayles, was when Dr. Moore viewed the remains of his dear wife for the last time. He rendered a song of his own composition as follows: A Well-known and Accomplished, Trained Nurse Passes Away. The Wife of Rev. L. C. Moore Buried from the Providence Baptist Church. Mrs. Mary F.

BETHEL LITERARY. Fully two thousand people turned out last night to hear Rev. R. W. Bagnall of Detroit, Mich., the deep thinker and powerful orator of the race, deliver his address, "One Way Out for the Negro." Out for the test: Believing that color prejudice is an irrational thing deep set in the social consciousness of the Tutonic races, having entered in the germ plasm, having as its basis a desire for white racial solidarity, an aversion for the unlike, ignorance of the true nature of darker peoples, a race pride that fears fusion with peoples believed to be inferior, and, an antipathy resistant therefrom; we advocate the attacking of the source, the creation of a new germ-plasm, a re-educating of the race consciousness. He then discussed the following topics, and gave the remedy: topics, and gave the 1. Our position in this country. (a) What is expected of us. (b) What we have done.

He showed damage done by southern societies in the north, that they were responsible for much 'of the damnable legislation against the negro. That the negro-hating congressmen, senators, and professors had gone into the universities and colleges and advised the southern young men and women to enter journalism, capture the press, and mold sentiment against him. That now on most of our papers in the north are these southern editors and managers. He quoted a noted author who wrote: "Before leaving England for America I had studied a good deal of the literature extant on the Amercian negro and negroid. The prepondering impression left on my mind by the works published before 1898 (after which less pessimistic conclusions began to be formed) was that the United States-negro and colored people were hopelessly sunk in vice, crime, and squalor; that the blacks could never be fitted for any position better than hewers of wood and drawers of water; that the half-caste woman invariably drifted into a life of prostitution, and the half-caste mer into poorly paid posts of drudgery beneath the notice of cheap whites I was, therefore, surprised, after my arrival in New York, to realize that in that city there were about one hundred thousand blacks, mulatoes, and others who seemed to be a very useful and contented part of the conun munity.

The following tribute was read by one of the charter members of her club: With sorrowing hearts we bow our heads in humble submission to the will of Almighty God, and have come to pay the last tribute of respect to this our dear sister who has out run us and gone to that city where sickness and sorrow are unknown, but whose builder is God. So often Sister Moore assisted us in many ways that she could for the advancement of the cause of Christ in our little church, and was an instrument in helping Rev. Moore in successfully organizing our club. This club will miss her; our Sunday school will miss her, and we admonish all who have gathered here today to gird up their loins and try to walk in the steps of the Master, as this our dear sister did, who was ready when called from labor to reward. We deeply sympa thize with the bereaved family, and commend them to our Heavenly Father, who is too wise to make a mistake.

ELLA CANNON GIVEN A SURPRISE. Garfield, D. C.—A very pleasant surprise was given Mrs. Ella Cannon of Reynolds Place, Garfield, D. C., Thursday night, Oct. 14, 1915. At 9:30 o'clock the party left the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Caldwell, Bruce Place, Garfield, D. C., and proceeded to the home of Mrs. Cannon, finding her and her daughters asleep. So greatly were they surprised that for a while they could not get their minds settled on what was going on. It was a real surprise. The leader of the movement was Mrs. Pauline Marshall, assisted by Mrs. Caldwell and friends from Washington, Garfield, and Anacostia. They carried with them tokens of memories, among them many valuable and useful ones, and plenty of good things to eat were given. The table was beautifully decorated with flowers by a florist; Richmond and Kolonial roses were some of the choicest. The parlor was decorated with palms and ferns. Mrs. Marshall, in her presentation speech, said she did not think a surprise could be given to a more worthy person than Mrs. Cannon, who is broadhearted, kind, and cheerful, and always ready to lend a helping hand; her doors being always opened with hospitalities.

ANNIE LAURENCE LUCAS. HOTEL NEWS. Rules and Regulations for Hotel Employees - Waiters Especialy are of Great Importance to the Bet- R. De Reef Miller. Never before has this complicated question aroused as much sentiment as it has today. Recently in the city of Rochester, Mr. Harry A. Cook, a very progressive head waiter found out that he was talking himself to death trying to instruct his men through lectures daily, on what they should do and what they should not do. Mr. Cook did not discharge his crew, when he found that his lectures did not produce proper results, but he set himself to work on a small booklet, entitled, "Something a Waiter Should Know." This booklet, it is claimed struck the right key, and the result is that it is being used in many hotels thru the state. There are a certain class of waiters and other employees of hotels that the head waiter or service director may lecture to write books to help them along in the business that he himself has chosen to win his bread, but with the same result as if nothing had been said or done. To this class of men it is just the same as throwing water on a duck's back. The day is drawing nearer and nearer, when men persuing any activity in the industrial world especially in the restaurants, hotels or any place where service, and efficiency are required they must toe the mark. The shiftless, sloppy fellow applies for work but he shows his credentials as soon as he is viewed by the modern head waiter who notices at once that the fellow is untidy. He will be turned down from place to place. Half of the troubles that are caused in the dining rooms and hotels of this country are brought on by the shiftless employees, those that have but one thing in view, and that is commonly known as "getting by" regardless of rules or regulations. The men who are a success today in the hotel business as waiters, are those that are docile, glad to make improvements. The Hotel and Restaurant business of this city, and the service for 1915 and 1916 are not that of years gone by. The cry of the day is for waiters with common sense, salesmanship and neatness. Study your menu, whatever you do not understand ask the head waiter, steward or chef, they will be glad to listen to your troubles. Don't argue with the cooks, you are delaying your order that much more. Remember the song by Hodges, "I Don't Like to Fuss and Flight, I Like to Treat Everybody Right." Remember Safety First, observe carefully the "Excise Liquor Law," these laws are-as much to a waiter or any person employed in a hotel in this city as the laws and provisions laid down to physicians and surgeons. Don't let any one bribe you into breaking these laws for you are not only subject, to a discharge but you are liable to be handled by the courts. Think of the suffering disgrace and dishoner that you can bring on your family taking such a chance. The hotel people are always glad to help you when you are right, and the fellow that tries to make you break the laws will drive you out of his office when you apply for aid. We must learn to listen and inwardly digest the teachings of service that the reputable head waiters are expounding from day to day. It means to us far more than words can express. The management has him there for that purpose, and if he was not the proper person his position would be filled by some one else. Always support the head of your department by doing what those in charge assigns you to do. Don't tell them that you have been in the business so many years and that you are right. You may have been in the business twenty-five years but you may be wrong. Many big business men have failed from not doing business right or from not using right and proper methods. Observe closely the rules and regulations of whatever hotel you are now working in as you have to work somewhere and you are going to find rules everywhere. Beware or some day we will be weighed in the scales and found wanting. DARKY DOOM. Mr. Lester A. Walter, one of the best dramatic writers in the United States, presented at the Howard Theater this week Darky Doom. This is a high-class musical combination. While the audience was enthusiastic, it was not as large as was expected on the opening night. As a rule, the Monday night performances fill the capacity of the entire house. The scene was laid at Mound Bayou, Miss. It told a story which took some time to explain and while explaining it many side selections were introduced, consisting of choruses, quartettes and other musical numbers and promenades to make a street scene at Mound Bayou, Miss. Mound Bayou Bank is shown, barber shop, millinery store, hotel, etc. Villagers are passing and passing; some are going into the bank, hotel, and barbershop. Harry Shaw, a valet, Henry Troy, who was greeted with applause when he made his appearance arrived at Mound Bayou as the valet of a railroad operator who had escaped from a railroad accident in search of two tramps or hoboes who had avoided a wreck of a train and the company had directed the valet to find the two tramps and give them a reward. In the meantime the two sons of rest, Bransford Johnson, Will A. Cook, and Aloysius Washington, Alli Gillian, arrived at the barbershop of, Moses Montgomery, a barber, Cliff Green, who don't make very much of an impression in Mound Bayou until the arrival at Mound Bayou of the valet. In the meantime they have been driven from the neighborhood. The valet returns and asks for the two tramps and Montgomery is informed of the reward, who assures the valet that he will find them. After the valet leaves the two tramps return and the profused manner in which they are received excites their anxiety, especially after they are told by Montgomery, the barber, to go to his store and purchase an entire new outfit. The valet returns and he is told by Montgomery that he had found the two men for whom he was looking, and when they are about to be introduced, for fear of being arrested; they escape from the town and the bogus tramps who assured the valet that they were the parties whom he was looking informed them that they were mistaken and their fraudulent pretentions were exposed to Montgomery, who drove them from the town. During the identification of the real men several musical numbers were rendered. Miller and Lyles, Will A. Cook and Aille Gillian made quite a hit. They are clever comedians. Miss Abbie Mitchell, as Lady's Lips, received much enthusiastic applause. She has a very sweet voice and her acting was perfect. Those who desire special mention other than those already mentioned are Miss Hilda Offley, W. White, who assumed the characted of a policeman and chinaman; Henry Troy. Mr. Will Marlon Cook, James Reese Europe and Henry Creamer furnished the melody, mirth and lines, while Jesse Ship the veteran actor, staged the show. Mr. Will, Marlon Cook was the director. It is one of the cleanest and refined shows upon the boards and Lester J: Walton is to be congratulated. Lester A. Walton presents "Darky Doom," a medley of mirth and melody. Lines by Henry Troy.

The entertainment was truly a grand affair. Several features of amusements were on hand of which every one present took active part. The music was furinished by Prof. Geo. J. Dawson's Orchestra. Refreshments were served and many members were added to the camp. IT IS IN THE BEE. If it was a first class affair, it will be found in The Bee. Kindly remember this announcement. The Bee reaches the people, and the news stands will tell you that five times more Bees are disposed of than any other paper sold. Let The Bee follow you. Jacksonville, Fla., won another victory when a million dollars was appropriated for the schools, out of which only $115,000 were given to colored schools, but now $100,000 more has been offered. For the first time in forty-four years all the saloons of Chicago will be closed on the Sabbath. Wholesale arrest of saloon keepers violating this law has been promised. A fine not to exceed $200 may be imposed. William Jennings Bryan, in an address delivered in New Orleans, declared among other things that immense sums spent for great armies, and navies could be better spent on highways and other internal improvements. THE EXCISE BOARD. The Bee cannot understand why so much fighting is being made on the Excise Board. This board is doing its duty as it sees it. NOVEMBER BALLY The next grand republican rally of the United Republican Clubs will be held in Grand Army Hall in November. Among the speakers will be Attorney W. L. Houston, ex-Recorder of Deeds; J. C. Dancy, Congressman Austin; Congressman McKinley, and others. Look for announcement later on. Mountains Shall All Flee Away." Ethiopia then summons the children of the race. One hundred little girls dressed in white with red laced slippers, whose happy playful voices have been heard for sometime in the distance come trooping, skipping in full, full of joy and glee, each one carrying an electric torch: "They play and dance and art-dance before the assembled thousands." "Ethiopia" then points to them and tells the mothers, "They are your hope and inspiration." The chorus and the audience then join in singing that stirring martial air: First comes the yellow Mississippi who contributes the foundation stone "Knowledge"; next the Congo and her people place the stone "Labor." The Egyptians from the Nile set the stone "Science." The Mohammedans from the Niger set the stone "Justice." The blue Oronoco to the art-dance of one hundred Egyptian maidens dressed in pink and blue set the stone "Art." Above this in a magical way the capstone "Love" is added by Ethiopia's heavenly sprites. The tower reaches to high heaven and touches "The Star of Ethiopia." The mothers of the race do not yet quite understand; they make further appeal to Ethiopia. The chorus sings "The Rocks and beautiful art dance of 100. Egyptian maidens trained by Mrs. Norman is part of the entertainment for this great fete. In the course of time the culture of Egypt extended to Central Africa and there arose great empires. From the sixth to the sixteenth centuries A.D. these Central African Empires flourished. But with the on-coming of Mohammedanism, there were innumerable religious wars between Mohammedan and Fetish worshipers, which so weakened and divided the people that they fell an easy prey to the slave-trader. The third scene depicts in the strongest dramatic manner how "Ethiopia" was blotted out by fire and smoke and pillage by the slave hunters, how they sought to get possession of the "Star of Freedom," but were themselves destroyed by the guardian angels, who were guarding and keeping the "Star." During all this pillage two monks representing the Christian world look on in silent acquiescense. The fourth scene shifts to America. Hordes of slaves file in. They are bowed down by grief and pain. The atmosphere is charged with these feelings largely by the help of the band which plays one measure, "Sometimes," over and over again of Coleridge-Taylor's setting of that minor key wail, "Sometimes I feel like a motherless child." And then, when it would seem your heart would burst at the thought of the pain, and grief of slavery the band would finish the movement. Over the prostrate and bending form of the slaves the ghosts of slavery dance in and out among them. A troop of Indians uttering their war cries, come in and dance to Cole and Johnson's "Big Chief" and "Red Shawl." Departing they vainly beckon to slaves to follow them to the forests and swamps. Soon the band starts up a lively dance tune taken from the Creole folk songs of Louisiana, "Look at that Dandy There, Mr. Banjo." Immediately the slaves forget all of their woes. The chorus sings this most tuneful air. All work is stopped for a good time and a frolic. The overseer comes in cracks his whip, and the slaves re-work vigorously. sume work. The Abolitionists come in and plead with the slave owners. Nat Turner, rushes among them accompanied, by the furies of insurrection. Sojourner Truth, William Lloyd Garrison and Harriet Beecher Stowe appear and plead for the slaves, but all their pleading avails nothing. John Brown rushes in carrying the lighted torch of war. Finally he falls dead at the base of the "Black Rock." The slaves gather around him. The chorus sings, "Were You There When They Crucified My Lord?" "Shango," the Thunder God, again appears on the apex of the "Black Rock" and calls "Ethiopia" to life and duty. She rises, accompanied by her guardian angels and sprites of love, but this time with the glistening sword in one hand and the "Star of Ethiopia" shining, brightly in the other. The chorus sings "Walk Together; Children," making a most effective scene. With a waive of her, sword she summons Toussaint L'Ouverture and the Haytian soldiers to appear. The band plays the Haytian National Hymn. With the next wave of her sword she summons her sons to join the union armies and fight for freedom. This summons was responded to by the entire command, three hundred strong, of the First Separate Battalion, who, marching in to the tune of "Marching Through Georgia," created the wildest enthusiasm. The most exalted cllmax was reached, however, when the slaves, who had remained hovering around John Brown's prostrate form, picked it up and bore it away on their shoulders in triumph. The chorus and band began "John Brown's Body," etc., and immediately thousands were on their feet and joining in the singing. The effect was electrical, spiritual and every one in Washington who missed it missed something really great. ly great. The last scene, "The Vision Everlasting," represents the period since the Civil War. Groups are seen at work in various trades. There are people in business. The leisure class appears, tennis players, foot ball and baseball teams, athletes, the professional class, ministers, physicians, professors, teachers, trained nurses, etc. Soon the band strikes up Will M. Cook's "Swing. Along. Chillun," and a group of society dancers come trooping in. The chorus sings this tuneful selection and this group of dancers dance to the accompaniment of the singing, making a most beautiful and effective scene. When all these different groups are quietly enjoying their freedom, each in his own way, they are continually and most viciously attacked by the "furies" of race prejudice, envy, gambling, idleness, intemperance and the ku klux, and all the forces that go to keep up back and pull us down. At first some of the groups give way, but others stand their ground. The "furies" try to seize the "Star." The freedmen appeal to "Ethiopio" with the sorrow song, "Nobody Knows the Trouble I See," who then calls forth her sons and daughters that dwell around the great rivers of the earth to come and build a "Tower of Light" upon which she will set the "Star of Freedom" so high that it will be forever safe. While they are assembling the chorus sings in a most effective manner Rosamond Johnson's "Southland," arranged especially for the Pleasant. The Herald announces in a dramatic memoir: nic manner. "The play is done, the play is done." Music, for the Pageant. The Music for the Pageant: If we except two selections from Verdi's "Aida" chosen for their distinctive Egyptian coloring, all the music for the Pageant was composed, arranged, played and sung by people of our race. Major Chas. A. Young, of the U.-S. Army, stationed for some time in Liberia, contributed the "Prelude Primitive," the "Chant of the Savages," the "Song of the Faithful," "When Darkness Descends," "The African chant," and "The Welding Song." Themes and motifs from these productions frequently recur as the drama proceeds. "Bamboula," from West Africa, and "Take Nabauji," from East Africa. "The Imaginary Ballet" and "Motherless Child" are from Coleridge-Taylor. "Mr. Major" and "Lolotte" are Creole folk songs. "Swing Along" is by Will M. Clark. "Big Indian Chief" and Red Shawl by Cole and Johnson and Southland and Mr. Rosamond Johnson. The folk songs sung by the chorus are the property of all of us. The problem for the band was an extremely difficult one. Motifs from the Major Young and Coleridge-Taylor music ran through the entire drama. The primitive African savage and peculiar. The rhythm is irregular and the score is full of unexpected intervals. Coleridge-Taylor never wrote any easy music. "Take Nabuji" and Bamboula" frequently recur. The dances taught and danced by Mrs. Norman are works of art. They require art music. There are frequent and unexpected changes of key and time. There are "art pauses." There is nothing regular, there is no monotony, no sameness about any of it. Almost every note stands out by itself and must be played accurately and absolutely on time. It is the opinion of those who know of the difficulty of the music that Mr. Hoffman's musicians acquitted themselves creditably, especially the last night. The music of the Pageant made de mands upon them altogether different from the syncopated jingling dance music which they are used to playing. His men need more encouragement to play this class of music. The work of the chorus was beyond criticism. Prof. Tibbs had welded those 200 superb voices into an instrument of music that responded wonderfully to every motion of his baton. The singing of the chorus was one of the interesting features of a great spiritual occasion. The tone was always full, round and resonant, and was a continued delight to the thousands who had the good fortune to hear this chorus sing, as was frequently evidenced by rounds of applause.

Detroit, Mich. Oct. 17.—Pastor Russell preached here today. He took for his text Psalm 23:1—"The Lord is My Shepherd; I shall not want." He said in part: PASTOR RUSSELL All the great families of the world have their coats-of-arms, that differentiate them one from another and that represent their own ideas. Some have figures of raparious birds; others have various kinds of wild beasts, real or inhumanary, so that whoever looks upon them would wish that he might never fall into their clutches. But no family has ever yet adopted the symbol that God has adopted for His family; namely, the lamb, the sheep. There is nothing ferocious about these animals. They are meek and inoffensive. The Lord tells us that He is the Shepherd of His saints. This means that we are His sheep. It is a wonderful suggestion that the Father of Mercies, the Almighty One who is so high, and in comparison with whom we are so small, should be willing to take charge of us and care for us. And we are very desirous of abiding in His care, of abiding so fully that ultimately, by His grace, we may attain unto all the blessings which He has in reservation for His faithful people. We appreciate this great favor; and the more we consider it, the more we appreciate it. As we have before our minds so great a God, man in comparison seems something like an ant. We pay little attention to the tiny ant; it is of no account to us. When we compare mankind with God, there is a still greater contrast. We are like the small dust of the balance, not worthy to be accounted of. (Isaiah 40:15.) Nevertheless God has favored us, and has made a great Plan for the redemption of every member of our race. Especially do we who are now God's children appreciate His particular love and care manifested toward us, in that He has invited us to become partakers of the Divine nature, to be associated forever with our Lord Jesus Christ, to share His glory and honor, to be granted the same immortality. This seems more wonderful every time we think of it. The matter grows upon us continually-enlarging our hearts. God's Plan Beyond Human Conception. It seems strange indeed that the Heavenly Father should have adopted so marvellous a Plan. To His Only Begotten Son, who had always been faithful to Him. He desired to give still greater blessings, in connection with the blessing of others. God said, "I will test Him fully; and if He still proves faithful, He shall have the best I can give." And so the first offer to carry out the Divine Plan and to obtain the Divine nature through humiliation and suffering was made to this Son. God's only direct creation. (Revelation 3:14, Colossians 1:15) The Logos gladly responded. By a transfer of nature He was made man; and by faithfulness and obedience even unto death He became the Head of this company that God purposed to bring from the lowest plane of His intelligent creatures to the very highest. Now observe the conditions upon which this offer was made. Jehovah would grant the Son this great, exaltation only after thoroughly proving Him. His trial would take place in the midst of the adverse conditions prevailing in the lost world that He would come to redeem by the sacrifice of Himself, and from which fallon race His footstep followers would be selected. To these the Father in His great Plan would say, "I will give to you the opportunity to become associated with Jesus in this great work." This part of God's wonderful Plan would never have occurred to our minds. We would never have thought of taking any of humanity into the Plan in such a way—of stooping down to fallen creatures who had been under the curse of death and in a depraved condition for over four thousand years, and of making an offer to these sinners, not only of having their sins forgiven and of being reconciled to God through the death of His Son, but also of becoming followers of that Son and, by passing through similar trials and experiences, of becoming joint-heirs with Him in His glorious inheritance. Therefore "We stand all astonished with wonder, And gaze on this ocean of Love" Our Lord Jesus Most Highly Honored. It is well that we notice particularly that the Father has planned that the Lord Jesus shall be first. (Colossius 1.18). Jelovah, the Chief Shepherd, has provided that His Son shall be His Representative and orr. Shepherd, and that we may come in as the first fock of His sheep. There will be offers, later on, who are not of this particular fold. (John 10:16). But the sheep of His present fold are the ones in whom we are especially interested now. The sheep of the next fold will be those of the world who shall receive Restitution blessings in the Age about to dawn. The sheep of this Gospel fold are the ones particularly referred to in our text; for the Psalmist David spoke prophetically for Christ and His Church, His Body. The Church, with our Lord Jesus as Head, can truly say, "Jehovah is My Shepherd; I shall not want." Until the Lord Jesus was highly exalted at His resurrection, there was none of this Divine nature except Jehovah Himself. All others were of a lower nature. The Logos, although above cherubim and seraphim, and next to the Father, was upon a very different plane of being from God. But it was to this Divine plane that God purposed to exalt some. He designed to have a certain company on that highest plane of existence. God had first created Jesus, the Logos, and through Him all the worlds and all the ranks and orders of angels, and finally man. His next creation, instead of going further downward, was to go upward, to a still higher plane than any other—the Divine. In harmony with this purpose, the Body members of Christ are to be God's New Creation, as the Apostle Paul explains. (2 Corinthians 5:7; Ephesius 2:10.) And God gave His Son, the One through whom all other beings were created, the first opportunity to demonstrate His love. His devotion. His loyalty. "But! you say, 'find the Son not always demonstrated this?' Yes; He had always demonstrated His loyalty under favorable conditions, amongst the holy ones in harmony with Jehovah, where those were no requirements of sacrifice. But now God would put Him in a special test, making Him a special offer as a reward; and the two propositions must go together. If he would accept Jehovah's proposition, and be loyal even unto death amongst the unholy ones out of harmony with Jehovah and under conditions of suffering and humiliation, then He should have an exaltation far above angels, principalities, powers, dominions, and every name that is named. The Apostle sums it all up. After telling how our Lord accepted these terms, how He left the glory which He had with the Father before the world was, how He was made flesh and dwelt amongst us, and being found in fashion as a man hambled Himself and became obedient unto death, even the death of the Cross, St. Paul declares that Jesus was found worthy in that He, for the joy set before Him, endured the Cross, despising the shame, and is now set down at the right hand of the Divine Majesty on High. That is, our Lord was given a position of the very highest honor. — Philippians 2:8-11; Hebrews 12:2; 1:3. Price of Our Lord's Great Exaltation. We see the earthly experiences of Jesus and their significance shown in the types of the Jewish Law. For instance, every high priest, before he could enter the Most Holy of the Tabernacle on the Day of Atonement, must first offer a sacrifice of a bullock, must take its blood into the Holy and offer incense at the Golden Altar in the Holy —representing in type the perfection of Jesus' human nature being consumed as a sacrifice. Then, after he had offered the incense, after its perfume had preceded him into the Most Holy and had rested as a cloud above the Mercy-Seat, the high priest would pass under the second veil into the Most Holy —the veil representing death itself. If the high priest did not fulfil to the letter every requirement of the Divine Law, he would die as he passed under this veil. That priest was a type of the Lord Jesus Christ; and the figure showed that Jesus would have perished if He had not fulfilled to the letter every requirement which the Father made. This being the case, it is no wonder that our Lord felt great anxiety as the time of His death drew near. The Apostle has written of the Master's distress of mind at this time: "Who in the days of His flesh, when He had offered up prayers and supplications, with strong cryings and tears, unto Him that was able to save Him out of death, was heard in that He feared."-Hebrews 5:6-10. What did Jesus fear? He feared that in passing under the veil of death He might never rise again. He knew that as the autotypical High Priest He was on trial and that His trial would eventually in life or death everlasting. Knowing this, He appreciated life with its blessings, and to a marked degree appreciated the life on the higher plane which He had enjoyed with the Father, and which He hoped again to enjoy. Why did He pray with strong crylings? Because He desired to know whether He had been wholly faithful, and whether He might expect the resurrection change. And He was heard. God sent an angel to minister to Him and to assure Him that He had proved faithful, in every respect. From that moment Jesus was calm and self-possessed. None of the disciples had such courage. To the weeping one following Him to the cross He said, "Weep not for Me, but weep for yourselves and for your children."-Luke 22:28. A Feature of the Revelation. A picture dating back to the time before our Lord Jesus entered the world, and showing God's Plan recorded in figurative language, was given to St. John on the Isle of Patmos. (Revelation 5:1-14). In this picture He behold Jehovah sitting upon a Throne and holding in His right hand a Scroll written within and without and sealed with seven seals. Then he heard a proclamation read: "Who was waiting to open the Book, and to loose the seals thereof?" But no one was found worthy to open the Scroll—no one in Heaven or earth. No one of mankind was worthy, because all were sinners. No one on the spirit plane had ever yet proven himself worthy of the great honor of carrying out God's marvelous Plan of the Ages. In symbolic language the Scroll represents all that God had in mind before the foundation of the world respecting the Church, respecting His great work for the world during the Millennial Age and respecting Messiah's great future. All these things were represented by the Scroll in God's right hand—the hand being symbolical of power. At this time the Son had not yet been tested and proven. On one occasion Jesus had said to His disciples, "But of that day and hour [of Messiah's Second Coming and the establishment of God's Kingdom on earth] knoweth no man, no, not the angels in Heaven, neither the Son, but the Father only." (Matthew 24:36). The Father had not yet permitted the Scroll to go out of His hands. St John wept when he realized that God had some great purpose to execute, but had found none worthy to carry it out. Then one of the elders said unto St John, "Weep not; behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed, to open the Book, and to loose the seals thereof." The Lion of the tribe of Judah had proven Himself worth. When had He done so? Not before He came into the world; for then He was not the Lion, of Judah. He was born of the tribe of Judah when He was made 'flesh'; but He had not yet become the Lion, the Strong One. Our Lord was the Lion of the tribe of Judah from the time when He made a Covenant with the Father at the River Jordan, although He did not finish His sacrifice until at Calvary He cried, "It is finished." It required, in one sense, the entire three and a half years of Christ's ministry to demonstrate Himself to be this Strong. One. In the picture in Revolution St. John looked, and $\textcircled{9}$ held, "A lamb stood, as it had been slain" (a lamb newly slain, says the Greek)—the lamb representing the Lord Jesus sacrificed. By that sacrifice of Himself He had prevailed. As St. John looked, he heard myrlands of angels saying, "Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and glory and blessing!" There Jesus became worthy—not without blood, not without sacrifice, not without being tested by the Father, not without coming off Conqueror. Thus He proved Himself worthy to be the Father's Representative in opening the Scroll and carrying out its provisions. Our Glorious High Calling. Our Glorious High Calling. How glad we are that God has provided for the ultimate recovery of all mankind from the death-curse, to bring whosoever will back into' harmony with Himself by restitution processes during the Millennium Reign of Christ! But we who are of the Bride class, how we rejoice when we think of our invitation to join in with our Savior and be partakers with Him, both in the sufferings of this present life and in the glory to follow! This is our privilege and portion. We may have a share in carrying out the Father's great Plan. We might well rejoice that, in God's mercy, we have heard the glad Message; that through the merit of Jesus' sacrifice we have been invited to become His footstep followers and to prove ourselves worthy, even as He proved Himself worthy, by laying down our lives in the service of God and His Truth. But we are not worthy without our Redeemer. We are made worthy in Him. This High Calling to be joint-heirs with Jesus comes in as a special privilege, over and above justification. And we must demonstrate our worthiness or we shall never get in. Our test is the same as in our Lord's case; namely, faithfulness to God, loyalty to the Truth, the putting away of all selfishness, seeking to do only the will of our Heavenly Father. We cannot do God's will perfectly, as Jesus could. But we must do what is possible to us; and the blood of Jesus cleanses us from all unintentional blemishes, making up for our deficiencies. But we are required to have the same spirit, the same mind, as the Apostle admonishes us—the mind which is willing to humble self in order to do the will of God—Philippians 2:5; Romans 8:9. It is important that we realize our need of justification, and that we note the difference between justification and the High Calling. I am sure that not many Christians see the distinction clearly. The Bible teaches everywhere that through Christ we are to be "justified freely from all things." It is God that justifies, and not we that justify ourselves. We are justified by faith in Jesus' blood. "It is not of works, lest any man should boast." Justification merely brings us to the place where we can offer an acceptable sacrifice to God. Then we must present our bodies. (Romans 12:1.) We are to follow in Jesus' footsteps. None have yet been justified except a special class—the Church. God has willed that the whole fallen human race shall go down to the tomb unjustified, in sin, and shall wait until the Millennial Age; and in that Millennial Day Jesus, who died for them, will be their Justifier. During those thousand years He will bring them up from the tomb, and will help them up the Highway of Holiness. (Isaiah 55.) At the close of that time He will present them to the Father blameless. He will not present; anybody to the Father in any other way. So the whole world, at the end of the Millennium, will be prevented to God; for Christ will have justified them, made them right. But all who will not accept the conditions 2 Kings 6:3-23. — October 24. Ellisa Awakens the Shunammite's Son. Punishes His Servant Gehazi—Entraps the Syrian Army and Renders Them Good For Evil—Important Lessons in Righteousness. "The angel of Jehovah encampeth round about them that fear Him, and delicreathe them." — Psalm 3:7. WHILE the events noted in today's Study may not find exact counterparts in the events of the coming Kingdom, they nevertheless represent principles which will be in operation then—reward for right-doing, punishment for intentional wrong-doing, and sympathetic restraint and instruction. All these principles will operate during Messiah's Kingdom, and under these the world will gradually progress. Millions of people will long remember a most touching scene in the Photo-Drama of Creation, representing the death of the Shunamnite's son and showing how Elisha awakened the lad from the death sleep. Few saw this touching film without tears. It pictured the coming Restitution work of the Millennium, when all the sleeping dead will be awakened to complete their education in the school of experience under more favorable conditions than any now enjoyed. The Church, however, will have risen before then. A farmer now enjoyed. The Church, however, will have risen before then. Gehazi Smiten With Leprosy. Gehazi had in many respects been a faithful servant to Elisha. As a result he had blessings of knowledge which the majority of people did not possess. With the knowledge came responsibility; hence the severe punishment inflicted upon him.-Ezekiel 3:20; 18:20; 24:33; 15, 16. When General Naanam perceived the great miracle, accomplished in his cleansing from leprosy, he returned to Ellisa, offering thanks to God and desiring the Prophet to receive the presents he had brought. In his refusal Ellisa manifested what we believe is always the Lord's Spirit—never to sell spiritual things for money. It is for this reason that some ministers now object to taking up collections, holding fairs or soliciting money in any manner. Whatever is given to the Lord's service should be given with a free hand and a ready heart. It is a privilege to give to the Lord and His Cause. He is not poor. Under such a noble example Gehazi should have profited, but he allowed covetousness to enter his mind. Perceiving that General Naanam regretted that his presents were not accepted, Gehazi pursued and told him, that the Prophet had said that while he did not desire the gifts for himself, yet he would accept some of the garments for his servants. The ruse was successful. The goods were given to Gehazi. He secreted them, until the Prophet called him, told him all about the matter and pronounced his punishment—leprosy. So it will be in the coming Age. Disobedience will meet with swift punishment. Of the judges of that time it is written that they will not judge with the hearing of the ear or the sight of the eye, but will judge right; ousely—Isaiah 11:3, 4. Elisha's Capture Attempted. It was probably after General Naaman's death that the Syrian king warred against Israel. To his surprise his every move was checkmated. He looked for a traitor in his own household or for some explanation. Finally one of his servants told him, "The Prophet Elsah is in Israel and makes known to their king all thy counsels, even those of thy bedchamber." The Syrian king sought to capture Ellisha. He sent spies to find where Ellisha dwelt, and located him at Dothan. Thereupon he sent a good-sized force to surround the little city and make Ellisha's escape impossible. In the morning Ellisha's servant looked forth and beheld the Syrians on every side. Terrified, he said, "Asas, my master! how shall we do?" Promptly came the answer, "Fear not! for they that be bore to surround the little city and make Elisha's escape impossible. In the morning Elisha's servant looked forth and beheld the Syrians on every side. Terrified, he said, "Alas, my master! how shall we do?" Promptly came the answer, "Fear not! for they that be with us are more than that be with them." But the servant did not fully realize what Divine powers were with his master. Then Elisha prayed that the young man's eyes might be opened; and he beheld angelic hosts, horses and charlots of fire around about Elisha. This was sufficient. The Prophet exercised a supernatural power of blinding the Syrians—just what we can only conjecture. Doubtless they saw the hills, valleys, roads, etc.; but their eyes of understanding were closed in some hypnotic manner. Ellisha gave them to understand that he would lead them to the proper city, and guided them straight into the city of Samaria. There, surrounded by the hosts of the capital, he broke the hypnotic spell. Their eyes opened, the Syrians perceived that they were in the hands of their enemies. The king of Israel inquired of Ellisha whether he should destroy them. The answer was, "No; feed them and set them return home."

Quila Sayles. The choir of St. Matthias Episcopal Chapel rendered several selections. The interment was at the Harmony Cemetery. Mrs. Moore was one of the most noble characters among women. She was musical, both instrumental and vocal, and skillful with brush and needle. Her husband often remarked "that she was the most complete all around woman in America." Samples of her work will be exhibited at the memorial exercises which will be held at the Providence Baptist Church on the third Sunday of October. The director of the funeral was Mr. Aquila Sayles.
