The sharp and piercing blast from the northwest didn't deter the admirers of that most distinguished and REV. W. H. J. Who celebrated the 39th anniversary of his pastorate, Monday evening. No successful pastor of Mt. Carmel Baptist Church from coming and doing him and his church honor last Monday evening. This is the church which President Wilson formerly attended, but by shrewdness and diplomacy Rev. W. H Jernagin secured an option on it, and finally purchased it for his congregation, which is composed of some of the best people in this city. The members of this church are active and progressive, as it was evidenced on last Monday night. The beautiful decorations of the altar and the well arranged and decorated banquet hall in the rear of this church, soon convinced the witnesses that Rev. Jernagin was master of the situation, and the members of his congregation were unsurpassed in giving honor to whom honor is due. The souvenir program told the whole story. The front page told you when the church was erected, and orators gave the history. The occasion was an event that will be long remembered. Among the auditors were noticed Rev. W. J. Howard, Rev. Holland Powell. Seated in the pulpit was Dr. F. Edmeston Barnes, ex-Minister of Public Works, Republic of Liberia. At 8:30 o'clock, Editor W. Calvin Chase was introduced by Rev. Jernagin as master of ceremonies, who provided the following: The exercises began by a beautiful prelude by the organist, which was followed by an anthem, "Crown Thee, the pointe led by the djor, the Mr. E. Rattley, Rev. J. I Loving opened the services with prayer. "Onward, Christian Soldiers," was then sung by the choir, after which Rev. Jos, H. Lee was introduced. He was substituted in place of Rev. M. W. D. Norman, who was indisposed. He represented the ministers' conference and the ministers' alliance, and brought encouraging greetings from both organizations. As the representative of the press was not present, the master of ceremonies, Mr. Chase, gave greetings from the Press. Mr. Richard Ware represented the business men of the ERNAGIN, D.D., sary of his church and the third year vember 15th. city. He congratulated the pastor on his success, and briefly stated that among all the institutions of civilized people that aim at the building-up of national solidarity of the church, education, and trade are of the foremost. To conduct a profitable business or trade successfully, it needs unity, energy, and co-operation. Mr. Ware concluded his remarks by impressing upon the audience the importance of fraternizing and uniting in trade organizations—to commence and conduct business in an up to date efficient manner. He was followed by Dr. Creed W. Childs, who brought greetings from the medical associations. Dr. Childs briefly stated he was made acquainted with Dr. Jernagin by Rev. C. O. Booth. He commended Dr. Jernagin for his usefulness, and especially in his great fight against intemperance. Dr. Childs said he thought the Baptist was given too, much liberty. He closed by telling the church to share her comforts, joys, and sorrows with Dr. Jernagin, and always hold up his hands. Miss Della Harris read greetings from the church. She stated 412 persons had been added to the church since Dr. Jernagin's pastorate, and $19,000 had been raised for the church debt, incidental expenses, home and foreign missions. She stated how the Central Presbyterian J. DR. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON, The dead Educator, whose death startled the civilized world. The South's Black Cardinal. Church (white) had become the Mt. Carmel Baptist Church (colored), and in a fitting climax said the church app. elated how Dr. Jernagin had wisely led the people, and pledged afresh their support. Miss Marie James was then introduced, and sweetly sang an autumn song. She was followed by Lawyer Chas. S. Hill, who represented the bar. He stated colored Americans employed their own physicians, attended their own church, read their own papers, but very few, employed lawyers of their race; but Dr. Jernagin was one minister who believed in patronizing his own people. Dr. Lucy E. Moten was introduced as the mother of all children in the city public schools, and in a queenly dignity Dr. Moten extended greetings from the schools. She showed Dr. Jernagin was a mixer, how he tried to help all the people, how he had been an uplift to the community, and how she wanted to lend a helping hand to the teachers in the four schools in his immediate neighborhood.

At the conclusion of the program the presiding officer had to assemble in front of the pulpit the representatives of the following clubs, and each, as his or her name was called, in a neat and concise address, presented to the pastor a token of their esteem an appreciation. The most valuable and the two Mr. M. C. Maxfield followed. He represented the citizens at large, Mr. Maxfield commended the church on her wise judgment in selecting such a man as W. Jernagin as her pastor. He briefly stated what a historic square the church was situated in as two of the most famous generals—Grant and Sherman—once lived in the neighborhood, and how the church was formerly occupied by the President. He showed how Dr. Jernagin was a leader in every particular, as he was always on a lookout for the best interest of the race. Major John R. Lynch gave greetings from the country at large. He stated Rev. Jernagin came originally from Mississippi, the only State which had two colored representatives in the U. S. Senate, and how, although he was very young, yet—laughter)—he gave orders to Dr. Jernagin the same as he (Dr. Jernagin) now gives to the Mt. Carmel Baptist Church. He briefly compared this city forty-five years ago with what it is to-day. Miss Helen Adams in a, beautiful clear voice, at this juncture sang "Thou remaineth Christ Our Lord," which captured the church. Prof. N. E. Weatherless represented the fraternal organizations of the city. He said he came to the city about five and twenty years ago, and edited a paper called the "Washington Pilot," which was now dead, as "The Bee" had stung it to death. (Laughter). He stated how, in 1765, landed a minister in Boston, and how the Freemasonry was started. He stated we live in three spheres of life—the past, the present, and future. He showed how Dr. Jernagin had successfully led them in the past. They were now in the present, and have confidence, and look to him to the future. Dr. L. B. Moore represented Howard University. He stated how he knew Dr. Jernagin in Oklahoma, and visited him and his church. He congratulated the church in securing a moral, clear man as her leader. Rev. Barnes of Africa was in the house, and he gave a five minutes' talk. At this juncture Rev. Jernagin was presented tokens from different clubs of the church.

At the conclusion of the program the presiding officer had to assemble in front of the pulpit the representatives of the following clubs, and each, as his or her name was called, in a neat and concise address, presented to the pastor a token of their esteem an appreciation. The most valuable and the two which received the greatest applause were $44.00 and a handsome suit of clothes from the church. At the conclusion of the last representation Rev. Jernagin responded in a short and most sympathetic address, in part as follows: My friends, words are made to conceal our thoughts, but I am too full to-night to conceal my esteem, gratitude, and appreciation for the many tokens of your friendship, esteem and appreciation that you have manifested this evening. I have, as you well know, endeavored to do my duty. I have the kindest feeling and appreciation for you all. My efforts have been to sow the seed of peace and contentment, and tonight I realize the fruits from seeds I have planted. To my friends—I mean the friends of the church—who have come to-night, I extend my appreciation and profound gratitude. Dr. Barnes, ex-Minister of Public Works of Liberia, was then introduced to the audience, and in a short address he thanked the master of ceremonies for the privilege that had been given him to express his esteem for Dr. Jernagin, and concluded by saying that he was of African descent, hence he was one of you.

CHARLES EDWARD RUSSELL To Speak on Wendell Phillips. The observance of the birthday of Wendell Phillips on the 29th instant at the Metropolitan A. M. E. church by the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, is very timely and appropriate. Last year, in January and December, the birthdays of Charles Summer and William Lloyd Garrison were observed by this organization with appropriate exercises, and the exercises of this year will complete a tribute to three of the greatest philologistists of whom history relates. The orator who will speak this year is Charles Edward Russell, a man as radical as Wendell Phillips himself, and who, as the 'bographer of Phillips, is in complete sympathy with all for which Phillips stood. The Metropolitan church will no doubt be filled with a large audience on the evening of November 29 to hear Mr. Russell. LOCAL NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE Condolence of the Local Negro Business League, Washington, D. C. Office of the President. Mrs. Booker T. Washington: Dear Madam—All Washington is deeply shocked to hear of the death of your dear husband, and the negro's greatest bongfactor, and indeed, it came at a time when we needed him the most.

Wishing you and family much comfort. We are, sincerely yours. Members of the Local League. Daniel Freeman, President. Mrs. Grace. L. Thompson. NATIONAL EQUAL RIGHTS CONVENTION IN PHILADELPHIA, DECEMBER 15-17. Notes, of Rosetta Camp, 1082. Quite a large number of persons attended the pig-foot supper at the camp, 1030 Lamont street northwest, Tuesday evening. All had a good time dancing and playing various games. The best game played was Mr. Eates. It's the best game I ever played. "cept Miss Drinks"; that's a good game, too. Oh, say, did you know that The Bee is on sale at the camp? Get it; it's only a nick'; don't you borrow it, then Bro. Chase won't kick. Don't borrow The Bee. He may sing that song. "Don't do that to me, as I am an LL-U" and it's bad practice, comrades, and ain't do. I ain't joking; this ain't fun. He seen it tried, and seen it done; I'm seen the day. I am done. Whee: great day, I am done. P. S.—Don't miss next week's issue; something doing in that issue. See? THEGREATEDUCATOR THEGREATEDUCATOR Dr. Booker T. Washington the Wizard of Tuskegee Dead—Born a Slave But Reached the Ladder of Fame. TUSKEGEE, Ala., November 15.—Funeral arrangements were being completed today for Booker T. Washington, the noted negro educator and founder of Tuskegee Institute, who died here yesterday of a nervous breakdown. Services will be held at the institute Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock, followed by interment in the institute grounds. The body will lie in state all day tomorrow. Thousands of Alabamaans, in addition to prominent educators and others from various parts of the country, are expected to attend the funeral. A special train will be run from Montgomery to bring state officials and others. Messages of condolence reached the Washington home here today from throughout the country. They came from leaders of thought, and endeavor in all walks of life. While it is officially announced that the question of a successor will not be considered until after the funeral, the names of Emmett J. Scott, confidential secretary to Dr. Washington; Warren Logan, treasurer, and Dr. Alnsworth, business manager of the institute, are being mentioned in-the-connection. Scott, who for eighteen years has been closely identified with Dr. Washington in his work, is said to be the most likely successor. Fatal Illness Developes. The negro leader had been in fall in health for several months, but his condition became serious only last week, while he was in the east. He realized the end was near, but was determined to make the long trip south to bear out his oft-expressed statement that he had been "bor in the south," had "lived all my life in the south and expect to die and be buried in the south." Accompanied by his wife, his secretary and a physician, Washington left New York for Tuskegee at 4 o'clock Friday afternoon. He has his home Saturd ference of Congregational Churches, where he delivered a lecture October 25. He is survived by his wife, three children and four grandchildren. His brother, John H. Washington, is superintendent of industries at Tuskegee Institute. Was Born a Slave. Booker T. Washington was born in slavery near Hales Ford, Va., in 1857 or 1858. After the emancipation of his race he moved with his family to West Virginia. He was an ambitious boy and saved his money for an education. When he was hble to scrape together sufficient funds to pay his stage coach fare to Hampton, Va., he entered Gen. Armstrong's school for negroes there and worked his way through an academic course, graduating in 1875. Later he became a teacher in the Hampton Institute, where he remained until 1881, when he organized an industrial school for negroes at Tuskegee. He remained principal of this school up to the time of his death. The institute started in a rented shanty church and today it owns 3,500 acres of land in Alabama and has nearly 100 buildings valued at half a million dollars. Washington won the sympathy and support of leading southerners by a speech in behalf of his race at the cotton states exposition in Atlanta in 1895. Of undoubted ability and breadth of vision, his sane leadership enabled him to accomplish more for and among the negroes of the United States than any other negro of his time. Gains Fame as Author. In addition to his prominence as an educator, Washington gained considerable fame as an author. He received an honorary degree of master of arts from Harvard University in 1896 and was given an honorary degree of doctor of laws by Dartmouth College in 1901. An incident of Washington's career made him a figure of national prominence during the administration of President Roosevelt. He sat down to lunch with the President at the White House, either by formal or informal invitation. There was a storm of protest, particularly from the south, but in spite of the resulting hostility shown toward him by many white persons Dr. Washington continued to exert a widespread influence toward the betterment of his people. Col. Roosevelt's Tribute. OYSTER BAY, N. Y., Nov. 15—Col. Theodore Roosevelt made the following statement on the death of Booker T. Washington: "I am deeply shocked and grieved at the death of Booker T. Washington. He was one of the distinguished citizens of the United States, a man who rendered greater service to his own race than had ever been rendered by any one else and who, in so doing, also rendered great service to the whole country. I mourn his loss and feel that one of the most useful citizens of our land has gone." (Continued to page 4.) From the Evening Star, Nov. 15. In the life of no other man of American birth has the truth that "the republic is opportunity" been quite so signally illustrated as in that of Booker T. Washington. Many then born in lowest conditions have risen to great usefulness and distinction, but they were of the governing race, and in their hardest struggle were encouraged and assisted by that fact. Here was a man born a slave, and, after freedom, hampered for some years by the turbulence and contentions affecting his race resulting from the civil war. Out of a sort of chaos he came, and as a citizen wrote his name among the most helpful of his generation. He put both races and all classes under obligation to him for service which have received recognition throughout both this country and Europe. And all this he had accomplished when but little past middle life. It is of importance to note not only Dr. Washington's unusual ability, but his great sanity of judgment, so to say. At a time when too many of the young men of his race were willing to be the tools of selfish politicians, and that way contributors to the embarrassments of both races, he made choice of activities bound to result, and that did result, in widespread good to both. He saw the black man's need, and so himself the man to supply it. How well he succeeded is attested by the institution he established, and the extraordinary work it has accomplished. Sane also was Dr. Washington in selecting his field of operation. He saw that the black man as a native of the south and familiar with its industries would find as a free man his best opportunities there, and could hope to improve them only through co-operation with the white man. He must make himself capable of making law-abiding, and in doing that he would appeal to the sympathy and secure the assistance of his powerful white neighbor. The calculation was well made. Tuskegee is the fruit of a black man's ambition strengthened and furthered by the recognition of white men, north and south. Without that recognition Dr. Washington could have done nothing. With it he improved labor throughout the south, and offered to men of his race in other parts of the country an example which many have followed. Better cabins in the loneliest country places, a quickened interest in schools, savings in banks, and business enterprises, all testify to the influence of this man on the people of his race of his day and generation. Its founders in gone but Tuskegee survived, giving instrument for good; and those who control its fortunes have a great responsibility in choosing a successor to the former slave who by force of native ability and character became an educator, an administrator; a writer and a speaker of nation-wide influence and international reputation. Brief Bits of News and Comment on Men and Measures. The Presidential Nomination. Hon. Charles D. Hillis, Chairman of the Republican National Executive Committee, announces that many candidates for the Republican nomination for President next year are entering the field for the pre-convention contest. Among those mentioned are former Senator Eliu Root of New York, Senator Albert B. Cummins of Iowa, Senator William E. Borah of Idaho, former Vice President Charles W. Fairbanks of Indiana, former Senator Theodore E. Burton of Ohio, Senator John W. Weeks of Massachusetts, Senator William Alden Smith of Michigan, Senator Charles Curtis of Kansas, Senator L. Y. Sherman of Illinois, former Governor Myron T. Herrick of Ohio, Governor Charles S. Whitman of New York, and H. D. Estabrook, a prominent and eloquent lawyer of New York City, who delivered the principle address at the annual meeting of the Advertising Clubs of America held in Chicago last June. From now on, it will be interesting to note how prominent Colored men of national reputation "line up." It is said Hon. Chas. W. Anderson, who has just been appointed Supervisory Agent of the State Agricultural Department, and Hon. Fred R. Moore, of the New York Age, appointed Minister to Liberia by President Taft, will support Governor Whitman; former Assistant Attorney General William H. Lewis of Boston, will support Senator Weeks; Ralph W. Tyler, Auditor of the Navy Department, and President Oloos, and Taft, will support Senator Burton, while George A. Myers and Editor H. C. Smith have not decided whom they will support. As a rule, however, it is expected that the leading Colored men in the various states will follow their "favorite sons." The Southern leaders are against any candidate with "ily-white" leanings, and are already at work "sounding" the candidates. Prejudice and Prohibition. Prejudice and Prohibition. Columbus, Ohio.—The National prohibitionists who have their headquarters in this state are waging a warm contest in Ohio for statewide prohibition; while a similar contest is being conducted in the adjoining state of Illinois. Colored leaders opposed the government in the state. The South, every effort was made to appeal to the prejudices of the whites in the large cities by the statement that the prime object of the League is to force prohibition on the blacks, without depriving any white man of his "tipple." The Cleveland Advance, the leading newspaper among the Colored people exposed the race discrimination feeling of the leaders among the prohibitionists, and their failure to recognize any of the Colored leaders in the higher councils of the League. The Springfield, Illinois, Leader reports that the Personal, Liberty League, a Colored organization, and the Colored women of the state opposed most strenuously the effort to fasten prohibition on the state through the medium of race prejudice. New York, N. Y.—In the primaries conducted in New York recently, John R. Royall, a colored candidate for Alderman won the nomination and his name appeared on the ballot in the November election. If elected to the Aldermanic chair in New York City, Mr. Royall will be the first man of the race to occupy such an honorable and influential position in the city of New York. He is a leading real estate dealer and has won the confidence of the Colored people of New York as no recent political leader among them has done. He is a credit to his race. Atlantic City, N.J.—The national board of directors of the Anti-Saloon League of America, which met last summer, adopted resolutions urging Congress to submit "to the people" a prohibition amendment to the Federal Constitution, "so that they may determine whether they want national prohibition." Now this is either extreme ingenuousness, or downright poorly. If there is one thing above all others that never should be adopted except by vote of the people, it is prohibition. Without overwhelming public sympathy and support, a prohibitory law is the most useless and impotent thing on earth. It simply weakens the whole body of law by creating disrespect for law. People can not and do not respect that which they see wantonly disregarded every day; and that is precisely what happens when prohibition is imposed without the overwhelming support of the people. If they can get the state to consider amending the Federal Constitution in the interest of National Prohibition, the next step will be to follow the present leadership of Congress, the John Sharp Williamses, the Hoke Smiths, the Vardamans, and the Ben Tillmans, who also want the Constitution "amended" by repealing the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments, fruits of four years of fratricidal strife. It is a strange coincidence that Southern leadership should be fighting so furiously for nation-wide prohibition and the repeal of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments at one and the same time. United States Involved in Liberian Row Washington, October 28—The African republic of Liberia, founded as a refuge for American freedom, has been come the center of a controversy be tween the Allies and Germany which has involved the United States. The British government discovered that a Libarian company financed by German capital had erected a powerful wireless station in Monrovia, the capital. A cable connects Monrovia with Pernambuco, Brazil. German representatives in various parts of the world have been sending messages to German agents in Pernambuco, who relayed them to Monrovia, from where they were transmitted by wireless to Germany. Great Britain protested against this unneutral course of the Monroviian government, but received little satisfaction. A British man-of-war was sent to Monrovia. The president of the republic, Daniel Howard, at once sent an appeal to President Wilson to intervene. Secretary of State Lissage requested the president to send the Great Britain complied, but pointed out that something had to be done in order to prevent Liberia from committing further violations of neutrality. In compliance with this suggestion Secretary Daniel has ordered the cruiser Secretary to proceed to Monrovia. In addition, the State Department has deemed it expedient to send a new minister to Monrovia to replace George W. Buckner, who is ill. The man selected is James L. Curtis, a prominent Colored Democrat of New York, who will start at once for his new post. Will it start at once for his development of wireless, has assumed an importance which the belligerents have not overlooked. In the development of this African state the American government has always manifested a peculiar interest. This government some years ago joined, with Great Britain, France and Germany in taking control of the finances, military organization, agriculture and boundary questions of Liberia. An American support of the French government and he was assisted by French, English and German deputies. It is apparent therefore that the United States has a moral responsibility for the conduct of Liberia, which may prove embarrassing. If Liberia persists in permitting German agents to use the wireless Great Britain will have sound reason to take action. It may be necessary to notify Liberia that if she continues to violate neutrality the United States cannot continue to give her moral support. Before this stage is reached, however, it is probable that naval officers, serving on the Chester, will assume control of the wireless station at Monrovia. This could be done, of course, only if requested by the Liberian authorities. A NEW ANGLE IN THE SCHOOL FIGHT. Bruce Faction May Inject Political and Race Issue and Cause Split in the N. A. A. C. P.-Reformers Oppose Program of School Ring—The Invocation of Partisan Politics May Destroy Usefulness of Oraganization in This Community. Washington, D. C., Nov. 10.—Developments within the past forty-eight hours indicate that the "school controversy"—bitter as it has been for many months—is to take on a new and more militant aspect. The Bruce machine, or "school ring," as it has come to be known, is on the run and has discovered that it must fight for its life. It is freely predicted that by the time Congress gets into full swing a few weeks hence, the gage of battle will have been thrown down and the gladiators, representing Assistant Superintendent Roscoe Conklin, Bruce and those championing the cause of reform and square deal, will be engaged in a hand-to-hand encounter that bids fair to be a fight to a finish. That there are lively times ahead is not doubted by the seers and the prophets. It is understood that the determination to abandon the attitude of "watchful waiting" and adopt a line of offense and defense at once vigorous and aggressive, was fixed upon at a caucus of the Bruce cohorts last Saturday at the home of Mr. Archibald H. Grimke, who, with Dr. C. W. Childs, of the Board of Education, is to lead the procession for the continuation of the present order of things. Prominent among those who came to exchange "heart-to-heart" views on the situation was Mr. Bruce himself, who has sufficiently recovered from the injuries sustained in an automobile accident last spring, to walk through the part of chieftain of the colored end of the schools of the District. The program is supposed to be a "dark secret," but it has leaked out through one on the inside that some of the tactical decided upon are: the newspapers that accepts matter of public interest to Mr. Bruce or the Board of Education. To resist by every shrewd method known to political strategy any and every movement looking to a change in the management of the colored schools, on the ground that a revision of the system might serve as a dragnet in which some fish not ready for the trying-pan might be caught. The appointing power now controlling the board's personnel must be pretty sure to mean the elimination of the present board and the formation of a new one, but not in sympathy with the Bruce machine. The status quo is to be preserved at all hazards, both as to the board and the school officials, as the picking off of a single factor may overturn the entire scheme of operation on the part of "the ring" vs. public opinion. A count of noses is to be taken and all who do not line up with the program will be listed as enemies and may be made to "walk the plank" at a psychological moment. This, in brief, is said to have been the point agreed upon at the famous Grimke caucus. The fight is on. A Shift in the N. A. A. D. Not least among the sensational phases of the "war" is the probability that, under certain conditions, there may be a split in the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Mr. Grimke is president of the local branch. Mr. Bruce was chairman of the "Committee of Fifty" that had charge of important work a short time ago in connection with the organization. The local branch is made up largely of teachers, who may not be free agents if called upon to fall in line with a movement to bring the N. A. A. C. P. to the relief of the Bruce machine. Many of the organization are not teachers, and have no relatives who have any bread-and-butter relation to the schools. This element, entirely open-minded in educational matters, is opposed to the induction of "school politics" into a body supposed to be for the uplift of all the people. A leader of this group made the statement today that there could be no objection raised should Mr. Grimke choose to support Mr. Bruce in his individual capacity, but if he should yield to the demand that the N. A. A. C. P. be aligned as a body for the perpetuation of the Bruce regime, the quite numerous anti-Bruce membership would withdraw from the local branch, and maintain their hold upon civic affairs through the national body only. This element is no less positive in its attitude than are the Brucettes, and any attempt, they say, to commit the N. A. A. C. P. to a pro-Bruce propaganda will split it wide open and militate against its further usefulness in this community. Will Partisan Politics Be Invoked? Another phase that is bringing thrill into the melodrama is the rumor that partisan politics is to be invoked to prevent the reformers from bringing about the changes desired by 90 per cent of the unselfish and public-spirited people in the district. It is represented on stone confidence that careful soundings are being made among members of Congress, with a view of lining them up for the Bruce regime on a partisan basis. Following again the films argument that induced the Hon. Martin B. Madden, in the closing hours of the last session, to knock out on a point of order the proposition to change the method of appointing the Board of Education, it is stated that an impression is to be created that the plan to make changes in the school system is simply a democratic scheme to rob the colored schools of their official heads and to eliminate colored members from the Board of Education, with the final result that allotments of money for the colored schools will be diminished and the educational opportunities of the race reduced, to a negligible quantity. The argument is to be clinched, so the story goes, that the only way to save the negro's schools from the disaster is for the republicans to insist upon a retention of the present order of things—the perpetuation of the Bruce machine. It is to be shown by the Bruce-Grimke contenders that the turning of the schools over to the District Commissioners will be to throw them to a democratic behemoth which "will eat them up, blood raw." The claim is made that the proposal for the change of authority, to the District Commissioners is for the full purpose of eliminating the three colored members from the Board of Education and to get rid of the negro in high official station by abolishing the assistant superintendency and placing the colored schools wholly under white supervision. It is argued that competent colored republicans are to be removed and their places, such as are to be left them, are to be filled by negro democratic "heelers," and cite as an illustration a change in the directorship of one of the colored playgrounds—notwithstanding the fact that the director appointed by this administration is a business man of high standing, and whose record is without a blemish as an official or citizen. This scarecrow worked admirably last year, but the reformers say it will not work this year. They purpose to prove that it is a fantastic yarn, calculated to deceive, the unwary, but will have no standing with thoughtful, far-sseeing citizens nor with any well-informed member of Congress. Conservative citizens deplore the proposed effort to drag party politics into our educational problems, and they are considerably wrought up over the newer tactics that are being resorted to to save the present decadent school regime from demolition. The feeling that there should be a radical overhauling of the Washington schools is widespread and insistent, and the plain people will not sit idly by and see the their wishes ignored in this matter. A mass meeting will probably be held in the near future, and their views will be given to the world in unmistakable language. Verily, the fight is on! J. MILTON TURNER. The First Colored Diplomat. The press during the last few days has carried notice of the recent death at Ardmore, Okla., of the Hon. J. Milton Turner of St. Louis, who has been much in the public eye during nearly half a century, and who, as lawyer, politician, and diplomat achieved a wide and enduring fame. Accustomed for so long a time to follow the varied activities which focused at the Capitol in the interest of affairs of diplomacy or in shaping and promoting legislation for the Cherokee freedmen, or what not, the news of his passing has come with the force of a personal bereavement, for even those who knew him the least must remember long some impressive angle of this versatile and interesting man. The late Hon. John G. Carlisle said of him on one occasion, "He is not of St. Louis only, he is of the world." Having traveled much during the greater part of the two Grant administrations, he had incorporated a flavor of old world courtiness that found expression in refined and stately, converse, and those evidences of a rare culture which compel respect without regard to creed or color. Mr. Turner was loyal, aggressive, and uncompromising on the question of the integrity of negro manhood. He had so long appeared in a distinguished and acceptable way before presidents and lawmakers in matters which gravely concerned the rights and progress of negroes, that he may reasonably be accredited with assisting largely towards the recognition of negro intellect and genius. Very many times has his unusual personality lifted the shadow of inconsiderate prejudice, or put to route the frosty chill that forbide change of sympathy and fellowship. It was a long way to the American legation at Monrovia, for we must not forget that the starting point was the American slave block at St. Louis. Pluck, ability, and an exalted faith that his black manhood was equal to that of the best, made the distance both safe and easy. Faults; yes, these he had; for he was intensely human. But, ah! his excellencies were great, and his accomplishments many. JOHN H. PAYNTER. P. J. BLIGH Fine Wines, Liquors, Cigars, Etc. 235 Four-and-a-Half St. S. W. Washington, D. C. Open 7 o'clock A. M.

From the New York World. Appomattox left the ex-slave stranded on the strange shore of freedom; many toll-bent hands wanted their children to learn Latin. What Latin was they had no idea; they knew it played some part in the culture of a section more vividly tory and political chemistry and medicine. Need developed leaders in wiser ways; the greatest of these died yesterday. Booker T. Washington did not know how old he was. He must have been born before 1859, the date usually given, else we must suppose him placed at twenty-two at the head of Tuskegee. He had learned at Hampton, and at once began teaching that what the black most needed was steady work and money in the bank. He praised the negro banker, teacher, lawyer, physician; he could take a quiet and quizzical satisfaction in the prowess of Jack Johnson; but what pleased him most was that 2,500,000 negroes were living in owned homes in 1910, and that negro farmers owned more than one billion dollars' worth of cultivated farms. Herein Dr. Washington was a wiser leader than those impetuous souls who demanded for the negro at once every political right and cultural opportunity. The negro is on the soil. He is in the souh. His surest, shortest road to an assured place is efficiency. Dr. Washington was farseeing in his desire to work in harmony with white men of his section. It is to the credit of the whites that they were ready to work with him. The New York World in an excerpt that The Bee reproduces this week, would have the world to believe that when the ex-slave was stranded on the strange shore of freedom, he crawled for Latin, etc. When the shackles of slavery were cut from the limbs of the enamciated he crawled for knowledge, he looked for his mother, sister and brother, who had been unjustly sold by a hard task master into slavery. He went about looking for a teacher to enlighten him and to teach the alphabet, which was denied by an unjust confederate act. Mr. Washington taught submission to seeming white superiority; he believed and taught that the Negro should remain upon the farm and keep away from the cities. He advocated the accumulation of property and money by the Negro, which he could not enjoy without being an eye-sore to the confederate south. This same confederate south passed laws preventing white teachers in Colored schools. No nation of people, except the American Negro, would submit famely to class legislation; no nation of people discriminates against himself except the Negro. No matter what the conditions are, Mr. Washington's doctrine pleased the white man and to some extent deprived the Negro of his manhood rights to which he is entitled under the American Constitution. Mr. Washington should have all credit that is due him, regardless of what his faults may have been. "The evil that men do lives after them, the good is oft' intermed with their bones." The Bee would take nothing from the dead educator. He is enjilted to all that is due him, whatever that may be. When the Jealous Moore was unharnessed and his power taken from him, he said, "Speak of me as I am, nothing extenuate, set you down aught in malice against me. I have done the State some service and they know it." Whatever good Mr. Washington has done, let him have the credit for it. None of us is without fault. THE BLACK CARDINAL Some few years ago, long before the name of Dr. Booker T. Washington sprung into prominence. The Bee predicted that the South would present to the world a black Cardinal who would be respected and honored by the civilized world. The files of The Bee will corroborate the prediction then made. This black Cardinal, The Bee predicted, would be the greatest Negro that was ever known in this country. The Bee didn't know Dr. Booker T. Washington. The Bee never thought that such a man was in existence. As years passed and when Douglass, Bruce, Langston and others held sway, this black Cardinal was in embryo, but slowly and steadily the seed commenced to grow, and suddenly the Atlanta Constitution introduced to the nation the famous black Cardinal. This was a certification of The Bee's prediction. The then Colored politicians began to pass off the stage. They no longer held sway and neither did their word stand for very much in the councils of the republic or the party which was then in power. How well this new dispenser of Negro patronage benefited the masses, how well this black Cardinal used his power for good, existing conditions must alone decide: He alone was the patronage dictator; he alone selected the men and the officers. Every man makes mistakes sometimes and they are often influenced by sentiment rather than by good judgment. Many of the recommendations made by him would not stand muster if they were left to the people. Then that old grim monster would step in, if a rival came upon the scene, which would divert our conscience and stay the hand that balanced the scales of justice, trouble would ensue. When we treat our fellow man as he should be treated, we have no fear when death comes; we welcome the grim monster and defy the world. Dr. Booker T. Washington made many a small man great and many a man, who today would have been a factor in the American body politic, has felt the force of his opposition. We all have our faults, it is true, but we cannot forget when an act of ingratitude, without cause, is inflicted behind a screen. Dr. Washington was a man who won the plaudits of the white man. He subordinated his race to gain his favor. He knew what would please a discriminating republic and a race whose prejudices could rise above or beyond a selfish ambition. His defense of his people was often construed in two ways. Many of his speeches had a double meaning. However, he has passed to the Great Beyond. He is now among the gods of reason and spirits of varigated opinions. "The deeds that men do, live after them, the good is often intered in their bones." The Black Cardinal passes off the stage of action, and may his memory be ever kept green and the good that he has done be a monument to coming generations. CHRISTIAN HYPOCRICY CHRISTIAN HYPOCRICY. Politicians and indeed many so-called statesmen who have from time to time advocated and professed Christianity, are generally more hypocritical than non-believers in the Christian religion. Take for instance, men and women who are forever preaching the Christian religion and telling the world what it should do in the interest of humanity and the advancement of all races regardless of color or condition, you will see more hypocritical philosophy and false pretensions in their doctrine than you will find in the infidel. If existing conditions in this country don't show the base hypocricy of the sham advocates of fair play and justice. The Bee their is false in its conclusion. In the pulpit we hear the Christian advocates declare that God believes in fair play, that God knows no man by the color of his skin, and yet these self-same Christian advocates of the Christian religion will not permit a Colored minister to occupy his pulpit and neither will many of them permit the colored brother to commune with them. It would seem that these Christians ought to be convinced that there is no discrimination in death. The bad Negro goes to the same place as the bad white man. There is no discrimination after death. The rich, the high, the low and the poor are afflicted. There is one thing in which there is not the least discrimination and that is death. There is no difference between the white and black hypocrit. Both are alike and preach the same doctrine. SENATOR BURTON. Many republicans believe that it would be a stupendous blunder if Theodore Burton should be nominated for the presidency. There is an element of weakness about Senator Burton that would be too heavy a handicap for the party to carry. The presidential race will be no walkover, and the party cannot take a chance when the success of the ticket means so much to the happiness and prosperity of the country with a hamstring candidate. Mr. Burton's chief claim to greatness and eligibility for the republican nomination for the presidency lies in the leadership of the filibuster in the Sen- ate last session against the "pork barrel" bill. The Senator's efforts were successful, in having several million dollars lopped off this omnibus bill. Among the items stricken out were appropriations for small public buildings scattered throughout the United States, that small cities and towns had petitioned Congress for years to build. Every citizen to a man in these localities that lost their public building will get even with Burton on election day. Other items Burton defeated in this general-appropriation bill, were meritorious war claims that aged men and women have patiently waited for their war. Responded to be paid by government. The entire public career of Senator Burton, in the House of Representatives and in the Senate, has been apathetic towards the Negro. Nothing else could be expected of him if he became President. To win next year the republicans must nominate a strong and magnetic man. Can Burton win if nominated? COMPLAINTS Many complaints come to this office from subscribers who don't receive their paper. The subscribers to The Bee are requested to inform the office whenever they fail to receive their paper. The Bee to subscribers leaves this office Friday afternoon, and the city agents receive their papers between the hours of 3 and 4 o'clock. Many complaints were received this week from those who didn't receive their paper. BIRTH OF A NATION If the colored people throughout the country would cease agitating the Birth of a Nation, the less consideration the people would give it. The colored people are creating more fuss than this scavenger monger. Perhaps the, white people would become more civilized if they continue to go and see it. TEACH LIFE MYSTERY TO GIRLS EXPERT, SAYS Chicago, June 18—George J. Kneeland did some plain talking to delegates to the General Federation of Women's Club. He is director of the department of investigation of the American Social Hygiene Association. Kneeland's remarks were based upon statistics gathered by his department and on the reports of investigators. He found that a prolific source of supply to commercialized vice comes from girls between the ages of fifteen and eighteen, the dangerous age of the racial instinct, and that a startling majority of these comes from homes other than those of poverty and ignorance. Kneeland's agents in the last year have gathered histories of 300 girls not yet professionally immoral, but with the downward path. Contrary to the general impression and the reports of some investigators that the majority of these girls are feeble-minded or subnormal, Kneeland said that the majority of the girls are intelligent. "Some of these," he asserted, "come from such homes as yours. Some live at home in idleness and ease. They are typical American girls, daughters of respectable and prosperous parents. "But it is only fair to say that the majority are poor and ignorant, with a side knowledge of evil and little conception of good." "All through the reports of agents the speaker found certain characteristics among the girls. They were rebellious toward home and parents; they are suspicious and scornful of boy friends, whom they call "boobs." Desiring secrecy, they prefer to meet strangers and married men. Kneeling said dancing and impassioned love appeared on the stage intensified the sex appeal. He told the women they could help save these misguided girls, and made the following suggestions: "Make some efforts to find these girls in your town. They are there, having found them, you can attach yourself to them with bands of love and understanding." "The way to know them is to study your own heart; remember the days of your youth. The influences that protected you will in the end save them. "Give them healthy and safe instructions as to the mystery of life. Warn them of disease, and the crime of abortion. "Knowledge must drive out ignorance. The evil must be supplanted by the good. "Each of you can have a powerful influence in providing amusements in your own community where the sex appeal is eliminated. "Use your influence to bring about better, more capable, and industrial conditions, so that fathers can be masters in their own home; so that young men can marry early in life. "Teach ignorant mothers and fathers so that they will love and understand their children more than they do." "Teach boys and young men to honor or womanhood. You can make them realize that young girls represent more than half of all future generations, that upon them depends the health and power of the race; that to injure a girl, take advantage of her racial instinct at a critical moment, is a crime against unborn generations. "Men must learn to sacrifice themselves, if need be, for the good of the race. "I use your influence to restore to the home the simple yet powerful protection which grows out of the belief in the religion of our fathers. "The most complete solution of a man or woman's sex problem lies in the use of the infinite and eternal God. This we must touch our sons and daughters." Read also Proverbs, 24 chapter, 10, 11, and 12 verses; Revelations, 22 chapter, 14 and 15 verses. RUTH CHAPTER. Interesting Exercises and Reception This chapter was dedicated March 10, 1915. Dr. S. S. Thompson conducted the ceremonies, with G. R. Pater officiating. The membership was only 35. Wednesday evening, November 10, the exercises held by this chapter were unique and interesting. The program was as follows: March; reception of officers, followed by a very eloquent and interesting welcome address by Miss J. B. Collier. This lady is a fine speaker, well educated, and a very interesting talker. Miss Georgia Fraser rendered a sweet instrumental solo; reading by Miss Rosa Lucas; solo by Miss Charlotte Wallace; cornet solo by Mr. W. Calvin Chase, Jr.; recitation. entitled "The Gambler's Wife," by Miss Minerva Dabney; solo, Louis Ambler; address, Emory Smith, pastor of Lincoln Temple; duet, G. Fraser and Ruth Weatherless; report by G. Officers. The chapter was beautifully decorated with palms, fall leaves, and chrysanthemums. Each officer was presented with a bunch of chrysanthemums tied with the same color—tule. The address of the matron covered 15 months' work, and she highly complimented the work and the increased membership, which is .57. Special thanks were tendered P. M. Gray and Young, W. A. Wells, and W. A. Baltimore. The house was packed, and G. R. M. Florence Marshall was presented with a bonnet comfort of Veneer, with a gold tide clasp, Grand Lecturer I. M. Young received a Moroccan purse. Grand secretary and treasurer reported, books in good condition; and also the chapter finances. Among the out-of-town guests were G. R. M. of the State of Virginia, who expressed delight with the reception accorded her and what was witnessed. The sweetest and most interesting speech was that of P. G. M. Georgianna Thomas, the founder of this jurisdiction, who disregarded an important engagement to be present on this occasion to see her child christened, as she considered the body chapter first grand visitation, and at the conclusion of her address she was presented with a bunch of flowers. Mr. Smith's topic was "Woman's Influence, Especially in the Fraternal World." He was eloquent, and he made a master stroke.

Colored Asked to Make December 19th Semi-Centennial of Freedom Sunday in LIVE "Freedom Center Annual Week," the week ending, Dec. 19th, 1915, and including Dec. 18th, which is the exact 50th anniversary date of the enactment of the 13th amendment, has been chosen as the time, and Philadelphia, chief city of the state of Thaddeus Stevens, where the Declaration of Independence was framed and declared, has been taken as the place, by the National Independent Equal Rights League for its 8th Annual Meeting. This League, which started in 1908 on a protest against the Brownsville discharge and won most fame by its protest against Federal segregation to the face of a Southern Democratic president who broke his pledges, be lies that this real 50th anniversary year of freedom should end with a civic observance by means of a great National meeting, together in conference of the Colored people of this country. This 5th annual meeting will be held Dec. 15-16, in the beautiful Allen A. M. E. church, pastored by the militant race champion, Rev. W. S. Carpenter. All Colored Americans, who will, whether they are members of this particular league now or not, suit who are honestly and earnestly contending in the cause of full liberty and full equality of rights are invited. As the JewishAmericans will meet in a National Congress, so let Colored Americans meet in a race-conference, with no white true friends interested in our self-protective struggle, welcome in Allen Church, Philadelphia, or in Dec. 15. Dec. 17 will be a general citizens' celebration of the semi-centennial of the enactment of the 13th amendment. Dec. 19th, Semi-Centennial Sunday. The League calls upon the Colored people in every city to observe locally the semi-centennial of the 13th amendment's enactment in church edifice, afternoon or evening at the League's request. OUR DEPARTMENT STORE. The Only and Greatest One in the City—Progress of the Colored Americans in Business. Mr. Ware Makes Men and Women in Female and Male Departments. For years every effort has been made by organizations, associations, individually and collectively, to establish a department store for the Colored people. Corporations have been established with men of business experience and with money, but they have all failed. There came upon the scene Mr. Richard Ware, a native of Washington, who, by industry and perseverance, declared that he could not only establish a shoe store, but in course of time he would establish a department store and get his support from all races. Strange as it may seem, Mr. Ware established a shoe store which was successful, and finding that a department store was in need and larger quarters were required, he leased premises at 1832 Fourteenth street northwest, in which he has the only department store managed by Colored Americans in the city. In this store he has everything for men, women and children, but not necessary to them, but visit his store and ask-What you want for yourself or children. Mr. Ware has great confidence in his people and from them he is receiving liberal support. They could do more. Everybody has not visited his store as yet. One-third of the teachers in the public schools, employees in the several departments have not visited this store as yet. They should do so and be convinced. The question has been asked, "Can a colored woman learn and conduct a business equal to a white woman?" If you want to come in contact with an expert sales woman, go to Mr Ware's and greet, no doubt, one of the best sales women in this country. Miss Green, the show host, says she don't know about all kinds of male and remale wants it is not worth knowing. Within the past week many improvements have been made in this store. Several new glass show cases have been put in which contain all kinds of gents furnishings, such as neckties, gloves of all kinds, silk socks of all colors and quality. On Wednesday several new show cases were put in, and these cases are stacked full of goods. The place has been re-painted and in the front Mr. Ware has just put in a handsome chandler with electric lights. Visit his shoe department and be fitted with a pair of up-to-date shoes. This store is a monument to the people. It should be liberally patronized by the clored people. In this sore you can find whatever you want. Call and inspect for yourselves and be convinced.

True Story Told at Last of Booker Washington's Luncheon at White House. The death of Booker T. Washington, the noted colored educator and founder of Tuskegee Institute, at Tuskegee, Ala., yesterday recalls the na- tional comment that followed Washington's Luncheon with President Roosevelt in the White House in the summer of 1902. Many stories of how the colored educator came to be President's guest at luncheon have been printed, and most of them, it is asserted, have been largely guess- work. The true version of the affair was related today by a lifelong friend of Washington, who lives here. The account of the incident given by this relator follows: "While Vice President, Col. Roosevelt had become interested in the colored man and the great work he was conducting among the negroes of the south. Early in the summer of 1902 a vacancy occurred on the federal bench in Alabama. One morning Booker T. Washington arrived in the National Capital and immediately called on a friend here, a white man, with whom he had been in the habit of taking council, and remarked that he had received an invitation to come to Washington immediately for a conference with President Roosevelt. He added that he had no idea of what was wanted of him, but he felt that the invitation was in the nature of a command, and that he should come. Asked to Recommend Judge "That night about 10 o'clock he returned to the office of his friend and related the following story: The President had explained to him that there was a vacancy on the federal bench in Alabama and that he (the President) wanted Washington to recommend a man for the place. The President explained that if Washington would make a recommendation the President would look no further. "Washington then remarked that he knew of a man who would make a good judge, and would certainly be acceptable to the colored people of the state. The man he mentioned was Thomas G. Jones, who had been Governor of Alabama and who resided at Montgomery. "The President then said to Washington, in substance: 'I will offer this place to Jones provided you will act as my messenger. I want you to go to him and say to him that you are authorized to offer the place and to say to him that if he is appointed, it will be solely on your recommendation. "Washington undertook the mission. He left the National" Capital that night, for Alabama, and three days later returned to the White House to report that former Gov. Jones had accepted. "He found the President at luncheon. However, the White House attendants (the executive offices were then in the White House proper) informed, the President that Mr. Washington was there. Mr Roosevelt immediately asked the colored man to come into the dining room. According to the stry, all told to Washington to his friend here, the President, was lunching alone. President Roosevelt Insisted. "Sit down and have lunch with me," said the President. "No, thank you; I have been t luncheon," was the response the colored man made. "The President, however, insists that Mr. Washington should take a seat at the table and have a bite to him while the message from Mr. Jones was being delivered. Rebutantly, as Mr. Washington afterward said, he did sit down, and participate in the luncheon while he made his report. This version of the luncheon story disfigures of the popular impression that President Roosevelt in a way invited the colored educator in luncheon at the White House. After the country began to discuss luncheon some of the friends of Mr. Washington advised him to make public the true story of the affair but he never did, and Mr. Roosevelt also left the public free to draw own conclusions."

In speaking to The Bee representative, Mr. Bradshaw was non-committal. Both will return to Washington next week. From what I could glean, Attorney Horgan of Washington is Bieber's candidate for delegate to the next national convention, and the man to represent the District republicans on the national committee that is, if Bieber can defeat Col Chapin Brown, the present national committeeman for the District of Columbia.

Nov. 15. — George Smith, a negro, 66 years old, of 2113 Carpenter street, was seriously burned on Saturday by a spark from the stove igniting a mixture of powdered, sulphur, lard and kerosene oil which he had smeared over himself to cure the rheumatism of which he was afflicted. In a few monies he was a blaze from head to foot. His wife smothered the flames with curtains and blankets, and he was immediately taken to the Polyclinic Hospital, where his condition is not regarded as hopeful. William H. Hamilton, 30 years old, of No. 2105 Tyron street, was shot down on Saturday by James Haines, 21 years old, of Naudain street, in a dispute over a bottle of gin. Both were negroes. Hlón. George H. White, ex- Congressman, banker, and president of the Y. M. C. A., was married on Thursday, Nov. 11, to Mrs. Ella A. McDonald of Greensbofe, N. C., at the Y. M. C.

Lynch Speake on "Some Phases of the So-Called Race Problem." Major John Lynch, who earned his title as a paymaster in the United States Army, now retired, addressed a large audience last night at the Metropolitan A. M. E. church, under the auspices of the Bethel Literary and Historical Association. The speaker's theme was "Some Phases of the So-Called Race Problem." Miss Marie A. D. Madre, president of the Bethel Literary Society, presided, and E. W. Harrison acted as secretary. Harrison accolade. Major Lynch was introduced in eulogistic terms by Major W. T. Anderson, of Ohio, formerly a chaplain in the United States Army, now retired, and who served with the speaker as comrades in various parts of this country, in Cuba and in the Philippines. He described Major Lynch as "a man of great resources, of large experience and tested courage—a true champion of his race." The speaker of the evening was a native of Mississippi, and has held many offices of trust under the state and national governments. He has been a justice of the peace in his state. Speaker of the legislature of Mississippi, in reconstruction days, member of Congress, auditor of the treasury for the Navy Department under President Harrison, and since 1898, a paymaster in the United States Army, rising to the rank of Major before retirement from active service. In 1884, he served as temporary chairman of the Republican National Convention, the only colored man in the country to achieve that distinction. He is author of a noteworthy book, called "The Facts of Reconstruction." In his address last night, Major Lynch used the word "so-called race problem" designedly, as he said the "problem" was more mythical than 6 real; more political than racial. The race problem, as he viewed it, had three principal manifestations—political proscription, racial discrimination and official segregation. The remedy, he aguod, lies in the establishment of human rights and manhood suffrage for the colored man, the development of a citizenship that makes for political and industrial assimilation. This granted, he concluded, there would be no further "race problem." After showing, that race prejudice is as old as human nature and will continue to exist as long as peoples inhabit the globe, and is observable between white and darker races, Jew and Gentile, Teuton and Slay, and lies at the base of the world-wide war across the sea. Major Lynch took an optimistic view of the present and future of the colored people in America. All comparisons between the condition of the Negro in this country fifty years ago and today are in favor of the race—it is 100 per cent. better. Rights have been secured, property in immense quantities has been acquired, the intellectual elements have been happily cultivated and the baneful effects of prescription have been largely ameliorated by the race's own efforts to reach a higher civilization. He had great hopes that conditions would grow better for the Negro with the passing of time. Slavery is a dead issue, citizenship is no longer questioned and the ascendancy of no political party is a menace to the liberty of the black American. The area of prescription has been narrowed day by day until it is now a negligible quantity. Denying that he intended to make a political speech, Major Lynch declared he could not overlook the fact that he is a colored man and hence felt that he could speak with propriety of certain phases of his people's progress dependent upon wise political action and judicious alliances without laying himself liable to a violation of the ethics that forbid an army officer, active or retired, from "talking politics." Major Lynch said, in part: "Some say colored people should eschew politics—get wealth and education. I contend that every Negro should take a deep interest in the government under which he and his children must live. A man who does not care what is done or left undone is not a good citizen. Every right-minded American should vote and he should see to it that in the matter of office, that the good man is voted in and the bad man kept out. He should make lofty public sentiment and crystallize it into legislation that elevates the plane of citizenship for all. Ten millions of Negroes acting as a unit can work wonders, if they will. They should labor to change public sentiment in their own favor and make support of the worthy Negro popular, rather than otherwise. Two million people of any race can make themselves felt in politics or business, if they will, and they can get anything in reason that they ask for." Speaking particularly to his republican friends, Major Lynch said: "A thrilling presidential campaign is coming on. A chief magistrate of the nation is to be chosen. You should get the man you want. You will not try to dictate who shall be chosen, but you can see to it that no man is selected whom you do not want—whose record is against your opportunities as a people. Speak out now and let it be known that you will protest against the rise to power of any man who is not pledged to human rights and manhood suffrage, the shibboleth of liberty and citizenship. An American president must be sound on this question, or he is not the man the American Negro will cast his ballot for next year or any other year. The time to make your wants known is now. Don't wait until the primaries are over before speaking out. "To my colored democratic friends—if any there be—let me urge that your political action be based on patriotism and an honest desire to win the friendship of an erstwhile foe. Let it be known far and wide that your alliance with democracy is an unselfish effort to better the condition of your brethren by an intelligent exercise of the franchise in the interest of any man of any party who is broad enough to bridge over the color chasm with the Declaration of Independence and the Federal Constitution. It would indeed be regrettable if it should be an established fact that the colored man cannot be free to choose his party or vote freely on the issues of the day without jeopardizing his security as a citizen. Political assimilation means the ability of the black man to enjoy every right that belongs to citizenship, no matter what party is in charge at the White House and that merit and not color is the measure of acceptability to serve or save the nation. Industrial assimilation, another civic essential, means the right to work at whatever calling one's hands to find to and to be protected in the fullest enjoyment of industrial liberty in the field, forest, shop or mine. The confirmation of the able Judge Terrell, of the municipal court, is a fine illustration of political assimilation, without touching any of the delicate phases of racial contact. Republicans and democrats united in making his merit count. The most sweeping and significant decision of the Supreme Court in fifty years was its breaking down of the 'grandfather clauses.' The fact that the validity of the War Amendments was upheld by a Chief Justice, a democrat and a southern man, is the most refreshing sign of progress the country has witnessed since the close of the Civil war. I have great hope for the future of my people. Ten million colored Americans, armed with truth and patriotism, cannot be crushed. I live many months in the year in Chicago. I venture the prophecy that within ten years a colored man will come to congress from one of the districts of the Illinois metropolis." Major Lynch closed with the thought that sensible agitation is the keynote of progress, and the case of all oppressed people is helped by a well-tempered appeal to an enlightened public sentiment. Legal battles are won oftentest at the bar of public opinion. He urged the Negro to live right and not to be afraid to die. Better a courageous corpse than a living, coward, said he. He said he had enjoyed as many honors as would likely come his way, but said he would dedicate the remainder of his life to the uplift of his race and contend in season and out for the basic principle of American citizenship—human rights and manhood suffrage. In the lively discussion that followed Major Lynch's admirable address, Judge Robert H. Terrell, of the Municipal Bench of the District of Columbia, who served under the Major when the latter was a Treasury Auditor, paid an eloquent tribute to the life and character and public services of the speaker. Others who spoke were George C. Smith, long identified with Major Lynch, ex-Senator Bruce and other race leaders in Mississippi; Charles G. Sutton, Rev. W. R. Gullins, S. L. McLaurin and Major Anderson. DISTRICT DELEGATE. Dr. W. S. Richardson Growing in Popular Demand—A Stalwart of the Stalwarts in the Limelight. With the meeting of the national republican committee next month and the following of the election of delegates to the national republican convention, no man is spoken more of than Dr. W. S. Richardson, one of the city's leading druggists, whose friends, are backing him for delegate to the next republican convention. Many letters have reached The Bee office suggesting the doctor's name as a good republican representative to represent the District republicans in the next national convention. Dr. Richardson is well known in the city, where for thirty years he has built one of the best drug business in Washington. He has a host of friends. Others who will enter the contest will be Mr. Flathers, Dr. Ed. Williston, Aaron Bradshaw, John W. Lewis, and others. A strong sentiment is in favor of Chapin Brown, esq.. the present national committeeman for the District of Columbia, for re-election. Mr. Sidney Bieber, formerly a bull moocher, and delegate to the national republican convention in 1908, is also mentioned. The coming contest will be a lively one. A WOMAN'S VOTE. This Women's Suffrage, I confess, Is really quite a horrid mess; A woman nosing around the polls While hubby's socks are full of holes! You mark a woman who would vote, And in her home there is a note Of discord, quite a lack of cheer, For she is out of woman's sphere; And she who at the polls would be, Has lost sweet femininity. A real man places woman far Above himself—his guiding star. If you're a spinster and feel slighted, And feel by voting you'll be righted. You've made a big mistake, dear one. With suffrage men will slight for fun; Have you read The Bee? If not, do so at once. NOT SOLD UNDER ANY OTHER NAME. HOME WARRANTED FOR ALL TIME.

Heriderson. The big game on Thanksgiving Day in high school circles, will take place on Thanksgiving morn at 10:30 in the Park at 15th and H streets northeast. M Street and Armstrong will meet in their annual gridiron scrap, and a battle royal is looked for. Coaches Haley Douglass and Cedric Francis, of the rival teams, have primed their charges for the fray. All athletic dope seem to point to a Tech year in football. The boys there have a confidence that will be hard to upset, for victories have been coming their way all season. Last Saturday, in Baltimore, the Tech team caught Baltimore at the height of their stride, and scored a 28 to 0 victory. M Street lads, with a bunch of yearlings, have failed to show mid-season form in any games so far, but the school is still. hopeful of a reversal of form on the day of days. As usual, the alumni of the two schools are planning to be out in old-time form to cheer in the old-time way. Armstrong had no difficulty in trimming the young team from Commercial. The score 60 to 0 was the the count. Tech was far superior to the Stenographers in play and material. Francis, with the assistance of Gene Toomer, have rounded out a nice team at Tech. Much credit must be allotted the Commercial boys for putting a team in the series to keep up the sport when, from a woeful lack of material, so many schools would have done the easy thing of dropping out. Coach Compton is game, and sticks where many would have quit; and a result, with a small enrollment. Commercial has always been a big factor in basket ball, a three-time winner in base ball, and have figured in track and foot ball. M Street High School has been unable to land a single victory. The team has been up against some very strong opponents, two of which have been much stronger than M Street. In the struggle with Annapolis Athletic Club at Annapolis, the local boys were outwhelped by a great deal, and with many of the players the first time they had been in a game. Storer College had little trouble deceiving M Street, and this team is a stronger aggregation than has before come this way from Harper's Ferry. Against Howard Académy, M Street but up a sterling fight, and were lucky to get off with but a single field goal against them. On one occasion the ball was carried across M Street's goal line, but dropped and recovered by an M Street player. TO THE MEMORY OF B. T. WASHINGTON. No soul can ever clearly see The plans of God, so why should we Be discontented when ever He Sends silent death to decree The ending of life's jubilee? in dream :h high esteem, sobbing, panting ll," to sleep in So let us cheer; why should we weep? Our dust-stained hero is only asleep in some fair place of blissful rest, Where grief can never rend his breast Like haunted vision; to molest His soul, which has taken the test; His life is done, and he's above in raptured scenes of divine love. He loved his race, and tried to heal Their aching heart, and not reveal Life's gloomy side, which would seal The door of Hope, and make them kneel Where joy and mirth would never steal; With happiness upon his face he carried pleasure through his race, and though he faltered, there's no trace of anything that means sad disgrace. The tale is ended; his life is done, and in death's vell there's hidden one Who ran his race, and fought and won the goal of life, which can't be shun; and though he went the road he trod y faith, he went straight on to God; and though in silence dies his frame, ations to come will hear and claim the honor and glory of his name.

Responsibility of Enlightened Christians. Present Heavens and Earth About to Be Dissolved—Not Literal Heavens or Literal Earth, but Symbolic. Shaking Process Already Begun. "Peace! Peace! When There Is No Peace!"—Earthly Vs. Heavenly Values. Utica, N. Y. Nov. 14—Pastor Russell gave an impressive discourse here today. His text was, "Seeing that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought we to be in all holy conversation and goodness, looking for and hasting unto the Utica, N. Y. Nov. 14.—Pastor Russell gave an impressive discourse here today. His text was, "Seeing that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought we to be in all holy conversation and godliness, looking for and hasting unto the coming of the Day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt, with fervent heat?"—2 Peter 3:11, 12. The Pastor suggested that the phrase, "Hastening the preparation for the Day of God," gives more nearly the Apostle's thought than does the Common Version rendering; for it is apparent that we cannot hasten that Day, since the Divine Plan was fixed before the foundation of the world. We can hasten our preparation for the things coming, however. The Day of the Lord is now present. It is necessary for us to realize what manner of persons we should be and then to be such persons—faultful to the Lord in all things, giving us much time as possible to the perfecting of ourselves and to the upbuilding of one another in the most holy faith. St. Peter is not speaking of the literal heavens and earth, but of the symbol—the present ecclesiastical and social organizations. The Prophet Zephaniah 1:14-18: 3:8. Or also speaks of this great burning time of the Day of the Lord. Even now the present heavens, the nominal church systems, are in much distress. Both preachers and people are wondering what these things mean that are taking place. They have been declaring that the world is growing better, that soon all will be converted through the churches. They have been saying, "Peace! peace!" But instead have come riot and war. There has been no real peace. (Jer. 6:14-19.) The only ones who have such a basis are those Christians who are heartening to God's Word. Life is a battle. All mankind are more or less contentious to have the best they can get. The true Christian's fight is with himself—against selfishness, against a strong desire to follow his own natural inclinations. He finds much to contend with in the meanness of the fallen nature. The world, on the contrary, imagine that many of these traits are praiseworthy. But the Lord gives His children different instructions. He is offering them a great prize—glory, honor, immortality, joint-heirship with Christ in the Heavenly Kingdom—1 Cor. 2:9; 2 Peter 1:4. Incomparable Value of These Riches. The speaker then discussed the value of this prize and the terms upon which it will be granted. Those who have accepted the Divine offer must become copies of our Lord Jesus Christ. (Romans 8:29). Were they to set their hearts upon earthly things, they would surely lose the prize. (Colossians 3:1-3). In the time of Jesus' Second Presence His saints will be glorified with Him. God's people look from the Divine standpoint at the dissolving of all things pertaining to this present Dispensation. The only thing that will not be shaken down and dissolved is the Kingdom of God. (Iebrews 12:25-29.) Everything unjust, untrue, imperfect will be removed in this final shaking. These imperfect things will be consumed in the great symbolic fire. The newspapers say that there is a great confugation in Europe—the present war. The things of the Present Order—ecclesiastical, social, financial, political—will become "as the chaff of the summer threshing floor, and the wind shall carry them away" forever. Then the New Order will come in. The true Church of God will be the "new heavens"—all of God's saints. There will be it. "new earth"—a new social order. This will gradually bring in perfection. Mankind will be delivered from sin and death. Christ Jesus will always be the Head of the Church, although after their glorious change (1 Corinthians 15:51, 52) the Church will not need the robe of His righteousness — imputed justification. The change of the Church the speaker believes to be very near. Character-Traits Necessary to Saintship. The remainder of the discourse was devoted to character-development. God's people hope to attain the character-likeness of Christ. He had the Father's spirit in all things. He made the Father's will His own. So are they to do. They are to have the mind of Christ.—Philippians 2:5. The Scriptures instruct us that the Lord's Spirit manifests itself in meekness in our intercourse with the brethren, in a humble appreciation of self, in contentment, with whatever God gives us, in a delight to have Christ as our Teacher. God is now calling only those possessed of a strong individuality and a love for righteousness. They must have real character, a strong will, trained to full excellence to God.

"Go ye therefore, and teach all nations."—Matthew 28:19. S KEPTICS have long been inclined to treat the story of Jonah as a seaman's yarn. Many pul- KEPTICS have long been inclined to treat the story of Jonah as a seaman's yarn. Many pulpiters even laugh at the account of Jonah's experiences as suitable only for the credulous. Nevertheless, the Great Teacher refers to Jonah's experiences in the belly of the fish; and those who believe the Scriptures will seek no better ground for faith than this. Nor is Jonah's account without a considerable parallel. Some years ago one of the New York journals gave a detailed account, profusely illustrated, showing how a sailor was swallowed by a great sulphur whale, but escaped after several hours, his skin purplish from the action of the digestive fluids of the whale's stomach. True. The throat of the majority of whales seem too small to admit a man. We by a great supurat whale, but escaped after several hours, his skin purplish from the action of the digestive fluids of the whale's stomach. True, the throats of the majority of whales seem too small to admit a man. We remember, however, that they are Jonah Cust Out by the Fish. quite elastic. The great sulphur variety is said to have a throat capable of swallowing a skiff. The Bible tells us specifically that "God prepared a great fish." No one with a proper appreciation of the powers of the Almighty would for an instant question God's ability to prepare a special fish, either at the moment or long in advance. The exceptional character of Jonah's experience constituted him a type of our Lord Jesus, who in death was swallowed up of the earth as was Jonah by the great fish; and as our Lord was liberated from His prison-house, so was Jonah. Preaching to the Ninevites. Today's Study, however, is connected with Jonah's preaching to the Ninevites. Nineveh was a great city outside the pale of Judaism and therefore, at that time, outside the lines of Dyline favor. In the case of the Sodomites, the Ninevites and the Amalekites, Divine Justice decreed that their iniquity had come to the full; and that for them to be cut off in death would not only hinder them from further degradation, but also demonstrate that there is a limit to the Dying permission of evil. The fact that these peoples were thus condemned and overthrown did not signify that they had enjoyed even an offer of salvation. Like all Adam's children these peoples were under the death sentence—"Dying, thou shalt die." They were merely cut off from life under present conditions. But their opportunity for future life by resurrection from the dead was not interfered with; for none had as yet been redeemed.—2 Timothy 1:10; Acts 4:12; Hebrews 2:3. Jonah's message was that within forty days God would destroy Nineveh. The people, impressed by his preaching, repented of their sinful course and sought Divine forgiveness. The Lord hearkened to them, and permitted their national life to continue for a time. We are, of course, to understand that God, foreknew the end from the beginning. Nineveh passed away utterly; but not within forty literal days. Possibly the time meant by the Almighty was what is sometimes termed prophetic or symbolical—a day for a year; forty days, forty years. The lesson shows how much greater is the compassion of the Almighty than is that of His imperfect human servants. Please to have the Ninevites turn from their sins to hearty repentance, God granted them an extension of earthly life. But Jóhannah was displeased. Evidently he was more interested in himself and his own reputation than in the Ninevites and their interests. The Lord's servants should not be ignored. Jonah Watching Since In some minds the query arises. How can God repent and change His mind if He knows the end, from the beginning? The answer is that the word repent has a wider meaning than is generally appreciated. As dictories show, it may mean a change of either action or purpose or of both. God never repents of His purposes, but He changes His conduct. The Lord taught the Prophet Jonah a lesson respecting his sympathy for a gourd, an inanimate thing, and his lack of sympathy for the Ninevites. So it is with many others. They have sympathy for flowers, birds, animals, children and, to some extent, for all mankind under the distresses of the present time. Nevertheless, such people sometimes become angry at the bare suggestion that God does not purpose to roast the Ninevites or anybody else to all eternity; and that His gracious purposes will be manifested in giving all an opportunity to attain unto him, so he dwells, a world-wide Eden and overestating life.

FROZE HER SKIN WHITE. Doctor Recounts Effect of Ether on Colored Woman. Chicago.-Dr. J. W. King of Bradford, Pa., told a number of his colleagues at a meeting how he turned a negress' skin white as the result of an accident. He treated a colored woman for lumbago by freezing one leg from the hip down to the ankle with ether. "After a week or so," said Dr. King, "she returned to my office and said: "Doctor, the lumbago is gone, but I think I shall have to prosecute you for mistreatment. You've done more than you said you would." "The leg I had treated was perfectly white and is so to this day." Some of the doctors present agreed that ether freezing has been known to remove the pigments in the skin, but they say Dr. King's case is unusual. NINETY-T,WO; RECHRISTENED.

San Francisco. — Chief Many, Tall Feathers, ninety-two years of age and prominent in the Indian colony of the Great Northern railway's exhibit at the exposition, possesses a single tooth, guarded and battered by many years' service. "The white brother may have his teeth replaced, why not the Indian, to whom the great father in Washington promises all things that are good?" pondered the aged chief. Many Tail Feathers conferred with Chief Bull Calf, and now that Many Tail Feathers has been measured up for a new set of pearlies his tribe has rechristened him "Grows New Teeth."

Palmer of this city probably enjoys the distinction of being the oldest messenger "boy" in the world. At the age of eighty-four he works for the Western Union from 8 a.m. until 6 p.m., delivering messages from one end of the city to the other. Palmer was born in Flemingsburg, Ky. Jan. 20, 1822, and fought all through the civil war. Uncle John, as he is better known, came to Caldwell county in 1880. He is snowy haired and slightly bent. Washington. - Whatever else may be said of the submarine torpedo bonts of the United States, naval experts familiar with this type of craft are confident that the underwater bonts of no other nation are built on stronger lines. In fact, naval officers say that none of the great world powers requires the construction of submarines to resist anything like the great water pressure that is required of American submarines. Submarines built for the American navy must have hull strength sufficient to resist the pressure of the ocean at a depth of 300 feet. Before these delicate craft are accepted they must have withstood pressure at a depth around 210 feet, which is deemed sufficient, but must be strong enough to go much lower. British and German submarines are not required to stand pressure at 300 feet. the requirement usually running around 200 feet. German submarines; as a rule, are tested at a depth around 150 feet and those of the British navy sometimes at a greater depth. Of all submarine defects those affecting the propelling engines have been most numerous and bothersome. The development of this type of engine has been very gradual. Until very recently, however, engine trouble has been of common occurrence in submarines, and the work of construction has been delayed more by engine defects probably than from all other defects combined. --- For example, while the contracts for submarines usually call for delivery within two years, it has been understood at all times that the vessels could not be completed and delivered in that time, and the reason given always has been the engines. It is believed, however, that the submarine engines have been so far perfected that from now on delivery of the boats may be confidently expected within the contract period. Naval experts concede that Germany may have a superior submarine engine. While deeply regretting the loss of the F-4, with its crew of twenty-two men, naval officers take pride in the fact that that was the only fatal accident to an American submarine, while similar accidents have happened to the submarines of the big European nations on more than one occasion. But submarine cruising is hazardous at best. The structure of a submarine is necessarily delicate. Any one of many things might be responsible for wrecking an underwater boat. Cow Prefers Pear Diet.
