IF IT'S NEWS, IT'S IN THE BEE, FOR THE BEE IS A NEWSPAPER. THE BEE WASHINGTON Washington's Best and Leading Negro Newspaper That's THE BEE VOL. XXXVI, NO. 41 WASHINGTON, D.C., SATURDAY, MARCH 11, 1916 A GREAT INVENTOR CHARLES V. RICHEY. The Greatest Colored Inventor of the Age—Telephone and Various Devices Unsurpassed—His Devices Are Being Considered by the Greatest Flames in This Country. From several years of tedious work and experience along mechanical and electrical lines, Mr. Charles V. Richey has succeeded in inventing and perfecting several instruments which will no doubt attract the attention of the country. Notable among the recent are as follows: A device adapted to be used telephone lines placed at the subscribers' end of the line which will record every call sent out therefrom, also it is adapted to be locked by the pressure of a button, thereby preventing any calls being sent out in the absence of the subscriber without his order, but does not prevent anyone from receiving calls or messages in the said subscribers absence. Another device for telephone purposes which is adapted to be used on party lines whereby parties on the same line are prevented from listening to each other's conversation. Another device for telephone purposes adapted to be so connected to the line that at the will of the operator any subscriber on either a direct or party line may be temporarily disconnected instantly, also they may be restored likewise. Still another device, mechanically and electrically classed, adapted to be used in connection with player pianos, so arranged and constructed that the patron at will may select and play any piece upon the roll without playing pieces preceding the same, also said patron may repeat said piece at will without having to rewind the whole music roll. This device of course is adapted principally to be used on the "coin in the slot" type of pianos, and especially to the Wurlitzer type which is provided with a series of rolls of music placed in an RICHEY'S TELEPHONE DEVICE, One of the greatest inventions in existence. automatic roll changer thereon, and operated automatically. The other types, of course, contain a single large roll of music, still the said device is adapted to the work of either. The telephone device referred to is covered by several patents, some of which are owned by the Phone-Call-Recorder Company, a corporation of the state of Delaware, of which I am president, with the main office in this city. Arrangements have been made with the American Telegraph and Telephone Company, 15 Dey street, New York city, New York, of which the Chesepeake and Potomac Telephone Co. of this city, forms a part, for the temporary installation of some of said telephone devices for their general consideration, which will be done upon my return to New York next week. I might add that the officers and directors of the Phone-Call-Recorder Company, with two exceptions, are composed of men of the Caucasian race, and whose present business consist of banking, etc., the stockholders of which are located in the District of Columbia, New York, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and other states. The question as to the use of said devices has been taken up and agitated in New York city by several millionaires, and ex-chairmen of the New York public service commission; also several gentlemen who have the honor of being state senators of New York, and they all heartily approve the use of such a device in that state, and are anxiously awaiting the results of the present negotiations with the American Telephone and Telegraph Company before deciding whether, or compel the telephone company with the state of New York to add such measures as would provide this subscriber as outlined in the device herein mentioned, but as the matter looks now, that the telephone company in the absence of such a measure see the wisdom of ascertaining it. I can safely say that there will be no drastic steps taken until their report shall have been rendered. The piano device referred to on which I am now taking out Letters Patent, shall be, under the present plans, turned over to the Rudolph Wurlitzer Company, the largest manufacturers in the world, of automatic musical instruments, with houses cated in Cincinnati, Louisville, City, San Francisco, Rochester, Pasadena, Cleveland, Albany, Pontiac Ohio; St. Louis, Columbus, Ohio; Milwaukee, Syracuse, Detroit, end, as 40th and Broadway, New York city. The New York city establishment, of course, is where this device connected to planos will be placed on exhibition for the benefit of the Wurtitzer purchasers, and I am not certain whether or not the other plano manufacturing concerns will be privileged to use this form of device. The Wurtitzer Company is planning to purchase this device after a thorough examination of the patent claims, but as yet there has been no set price fixed, though he has been approached with the question of five thousand dollars per year to be paid him by them. should he care to accept, to purchasing said device provided, however, that he will agree to give said Wurtitzer Co., the right to own without further payment, all improvements which he may hereafter make upon musical instruments while in their employ, and that he must agree that he will use his best efforts to make improvements upon their various types of instruments. This question, of course, remains unanswered pending a decision in the purchase in the rights of this device. He has completed various forms of devices, notable among the many is one of which he has never publicly disclosed, but the same he perfected and carefully layed away quite sixteen years ago. This device, of course, has never been presented to the United State Patent Office for the reason that he has been awaiting certain opportunities which has now begun to present themselves, and he can assure the public that within a reasonable time that he shall permit them to read columns of the general press as to what this great device consists of, as it is device which has, up to the present, puzzled the greatest scientists. The Bee desires to state for the benefit of his friends, that for further details from time to time, setting forth progress in these matters, you will please read The Washington Bee. WASHINGTON FIRST "FOLK-SONG FESTIVAL" Unique Innovation Made Possible by Miss Marie A. D. Madre—Signal Achievement by Bethey Literary Paintaking and Energetic Chief Executive—Mme. Hackley's Marvelous Work and Teacher and Director—A Perfect Chorus in Eight Days' Training—J. Rosamond Johnson Given an Ovation—Miss Lee Scores Heavily as Contrata—"Folk-Song Festival" Established as an Annual Event. Mme. E. Azalla Hackley, Chicago big-hearted and ever-generous queen of song and instructress par excellence, last week again "came, saw and coquered" the musical devotees of the nation's capital—the second time within a month. She leaves this city with the plaudits of a grateful citizenry ringing in her ears. The latest triumph of the fair diva was the training and direction of Washington's first "Folk-Song Festival," and leading to the front rank of artistic perfection in eight days nearly 200 singers who had never worked to gather at any previous period. So cordially was this truly American music received that it has been decided to make the "Folk-Song Festival" an an nual event in the courses offered by Bethel Literary and arrangements have already been entered into by which Mme. Hackley is to return next spring to cheer anew and on a larger scale the souls of the many friends she has made during her recent visits here. Washington's First "Folk-Song" Recital. Spacious Metropolitan A. M. E. Church was packed to the doors on last Tuesday evening with a throng of music lovers, anxious to hear the "Folk-Song Festival," the first of its kind ever held in this city. The affair was under the general supervision of the Bethel Literary and Historical Association, and was planned and created by the society's far-visioned ever-original president, Miss Marie A. D. Madre. Cultured Washington turned out on mass, as a glance at the enormous number of patrons will show, in museums, school and many musical and fraternal organizations being largely represented. The chorus of nearly 200 voices was trained by Mme. Hackley in just eight days of hard and strenuous work, but it is the popular verdict that had she trained them eight weeks the result could not have been more satisfactory. In point of harmony; volume and artistic interpretation, the 'singing has never been excelled on any similar occasion in the nation's capital, and the WASHINGTON, D.C., SATURDAY, MARCH 11, 1916 [Name] CHARLES V.

IIS Telephone and Piano Devices the Most Remarkable of the Age. eminent principal of the Hackley Vocal Normal Institute, of Chicago, is deserving of the highest commendation for her splendid work. Gathered from the various choirs and standard musical organizations of the vicinity, the remarkable aggregation typified the high-water mark of Negro achievement in the arena of folk-song presentation. The degree of perfection attained by them with the limited time allowed for rehearsal, stamps the singers as 'genuises' for music and establishes Mme. Hackley as one of the "wizards" of the times as a teacher and director. Mary L.

A Glad Hand for Miss Madre, The credit for the very enjoyable entertainment and for inaugurating an annual event that promises much for the music lovers of the race is due in the largest measure to the energetic and painstaking efforts of Miss Marle A. D. Madre, who in her five years of unprecedented success a president of the nation-wide forum Bethel Literary and Historical Assoc J. Rosamond Johnson Under the Calcium. A distinctive feature of the festival was the appearance of Prof. J. Rosamond Johnson, of New York, now executive officer of the Music Settlement School of that city, and known to the country at large as the junior member of the once famous theatrical team of Cole & Johnson, who loomed large for many years in the field of musical comedy and Negro character study. The world will never forget "The Red Moon" and "The ShooFly Regiment," Cole & Johnson's greatest feat in stage land. Mr. Johnson received an ovation when introduced by Miss Madre. He rendered two of his favorite selections, "Lil Gal," (words by Paul Laurence Dunbar), and his popular success, "Under the Bamboo Tree," besides contributing a speech, that was the "last word" in felicity of expression and good fellowship. He paid a lofty tribute to the unselfish labors of Mme. Hackley for the musical uplift of the Negro people and confessed that she had given him the inspiration that led him to embark in the same line of effort and to found in New York the Music Settlement School, where there is an "open door" to the ambitious youth of the race, just as exists at Mme. Hackley's thriving Normal Institute in Chicago.

A Glad Hand for Miss Madre. The credit for the very enjoyable entertainment and for inaugurating an annual event that promises much for the music lovers of the race is due in the largest measure to the energetic and painstaking efforts of Miss Marle A. D. Madre, who in her five years of unprecedented success as president of the nation-wide forum, Bethel Literary and Historical Association, has been foremost among her people in affording Washington the opportunity of seeing and appreciating the best thoughts and artistic endeavors among the negroes of the country. Her platform has also been graced by some of the ablest and most influential of the white statesmen and intellectual leaders of the world. In addition to her laudable labors as chieftain of the Bethel Literary Society, Miss Madre is the official head of the Women's Federation of the District, is an efficient teacher in the public schools, a graduate of the Law Department of Howard University and an active factor in the Woman's Relief Corps of the Department of the Potomac, auxiliary to the G. A. R. She has set a pace that will try the mettle of any successor. Just before the close of the program Miss. Madre came forward to the platform and was greeted with a tremendous salvo of applause, recognition of her success as manager of the festival and of her many kindnesses to the participants. She was attired in a radiant Parisian gown, which fitted her queenly figure to perfection. From head to foot she was a shimmer of dainty embroidery, lace and other accessories, set off showers of rhinestones, Miss Madre's speech of thanks was a literary gem. Some of the Big Numbers.

Another quartet of rich quality was made of Messrs. E. N. Broadax, J. H. Marshall, E. H. Harris and J. T. Thornton, captured the house by its rendition of "Shout All Over God's Heaven." As an extra added attraction, Miss Pauline James Lee, the famous Chicago contraitio, assistant to Mme. Hackley at the Vocal Normal Institute, gave two charming numbers, "Morning, Noon and Night," by J. Rosmond Johnson, and "The Awakening," by J. Welden Johnson, and sustained her reputation as a premier vocalist, with a tone range that is a revelation. The Rich Program in Detail.

Dr Childs made no denial when he approached on the subject. CREATES SENSATION Miss Cooper Gives Superliving Principal J. F. Armatrong a Tongue Thrailing—The Eloquent Little Woman Defends the Memory of Her Dead Sister and Points the Cold Finger of Death at Her Accuser, Squirmed at Her Piercing Costigation. Upper Marlboro, Md., March 7, 1916.—Accompanied by her brother and mother, Miss Beatrice Cooper, sister of the late Miss Mary Cooper, a teacher in the Fairmount Heights School, arrived here from Washington in an automobile and went direct to the court house where the Prince George County Board of Education was assembled. After having successfully transacted the business for which the young lady went, she was granted permission to deliver a message from her parents and defend the memory of her dead sister which was done in most eloquent terms and firm English vernacular. Miss Cooper is a graduate of Washington Normal school No. 2, and from her language you would presume that she was educated in Edenburg or some other classic college. The board room was filled with teachers from all over the county. The colored supervisor was acting door keeper for the board. Heretofore he always remained in the room and took part in its deliberations. Today the program was changed and this polished young lady, with piercing and penetrating eyes, addressed the members of the board, and said: The Message of Death. Mr. E. S. Borrowough and other members of the Board of Education, I wish to thank you for your kindness and to express to you on behalf of my family our highest appreciation and esteem for the kindnesses and courtesies shown our late daughter and sister. Before going further, I wish to state that I am here this morning at her request to deliver a message which she herself would have delivered to you this coming April, had not Divine Providence called her to a better land. I therefore ask for a few minutes to deliver this message to you. To the members of the Board of Education I will again say that we bear you no malice, no hard feeling; nothing but appreciation and high esteem; but there is one working among you for whom we have not this esteem and appreciation. This person is Mr. James F. Armstrong. At the time my sister was appointed to the Fairmount Heights public schools there were two teachers—the principal and the first assistant; she making the third teacher. The first and second assistants taught in the same room. I ask that you bear this statement in mind, "(that two teachers taught in one room)." Shortly after this the first assistant resigned, leaving the two teachers, the principal and my sister who was then the first assistant. At this time she had a separate room, which was made very pleasant at her own and her family's expense. Shortly after this—I might say a little more or a little less than a year, a third teacher was appointed to the Fairmount Heights public school. For two or...I might say, no more than three months, this new teacher taught in my sister's room. It was at this time, gentlemen, that Mr. Armstrong found it necessary to remove one of the teachers from the school. The question now arises: Which teacher must leave? The senior teacher or the new teacher? You would, no doubt, answer "the new teacher." This; kind sirs, was not true. Though she was the senior teacher, she was forced to leave her self-made room and go to teach in the public hall. The principal called a meeting and it was in this meeting that she expressed her unwillingness to have the senior teacher removed from the school; (Turning to Arm.) Sir, if memory serves you correctly was this not your answer: "Miss Cooper must leave the school and the new teacher is to stay." The principal then suggested that "since a teacher had to be removed why not alternate; let one teacher teach in the hall one week and the other one the next week? Sir, what did the principal meet with for offering this suggestion? Nothing but indignation from you. I need not tell you the conditions of this hall, but to complete my message. I will describe briefly the existing conditions: After entertainments had been held in the hall what were the conditions to be faced the next morning? This might seen to you. Gentlemen, to a painted picture—but it is all too true—dirty ice cream saucers, spoons and cans, pig-feet bones, bits of sandwiches and other particles of food and trash. Very often this was brushed to one side until time could be obtained to remove it. The weather conditions to which she was exposed I need not describe. To the public, but by that lense, —if I am allowed to use the expression: "Those who gaze this as his reason: "That if he possessit for two teachers a teacher in one room." Remember, Gentlemen, I have justly said that two teachers taught in one room until the resignation of the first assistant. The following fall a fourth teacher under her existence into the school, how the question arise: "Where shall Bloodthirsty Georgia—Lynching of Humanity Contingues. "Hanged by a Georgia Mob" is the caption one may find in almost any newspaper nowadays. Oh, Georgia! bloodthirsty Georgia! wicked Georgia! what shall thine end be! We drop a tear here for your little ones yet unborn when we remember that God is just! You are busy now, Georgia; yes, you are working overtime, sowing seeds which must spring up and bring forth much fruit. And your children, and your children's children, will rise up and curse you in your graves at the day of harvest. For be it remembered, lawless mobs of Georgia, that our God (the God in whom the Colonel James declared: "Be not deceived, God is not mocked; for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." That warning does not apply to the individual man only, but it applies to nations as well. How, then, will Georgia stand when the day of harvest is come! Human souls; l. e., Colored human souls, in Georgia, have absolutely no protection whatever. They have a law in Georgia, and in many of the States, which prohibits the killing of birds, rabbits, squirrels, etc., etc., but the negroes may be slaughtered the whole year 'round! while the authorities of the laws of the land and the Christian (?) pulpit sanction the whole thing by their blissful silence! O, what shall the harvest be! Under the usual headlines, "Hanged by a Georgia Mob," we read in the news columns of the Evening Star of this city (a paper that can seldom see its way clear to publish anything from the pen of a Colored man in defense of his race, while doubtless it has on its subscription list the names of thousands of Colored subscribers), that Jesse McCorkle, a negro, about thirty years old, was taken from jail at Cartersville, Georgia, by a mob of forty or fifty men and "boys," and hanged to a tree in front of the city hall, etc. All of this lawlessness is being done, and yet neither the authorities of the law nor the Christian (?) pulpit think the lynching and burning of negro men and women in this country deserves enough notice to call for a condemnation at their hands. No, they are too busy condemning the "wicked" Germans for pressing the button when an American whose bones are covered with a white-skin happens to take a seat in a place which is soon warmed up of all of a sudden by a submarine. We deplore such destruction of lives at sea, but somehow or other, the beam in our own eyes here is too wretchedly plain to be overlooked while trying to see the mote in the other fellow's eye. The lynching-of Colored men and women in the south has become a sport. Fox hunting used to be one of the leading sports there, but they seem in these later years to get more fun out of lynching: innocent "niggers." Just think, will you, a mob of fifty men and "boys" taking a "nigger" from jail in broad open daylight and lynched him! and riddle his body with bullets! Oh, what an example is being set for the "future rulers" of the State, and possibly the nation! God, God, God! The end to this unjust treatment of these helpless children of Thine! The Colored people are crying to-day as did the children of Israel: "Come over to Macedonia, and help us!" But a word more about the example which is being laid down for the little "white boys" of Georgia. These little boys are helping their fathers to sow the seeds, the fruits of which they must reap at the day of harvest; which is sure to come. It is going to be a terrible harvest! The seeds were sown after having been dipped in the innocent-blood of their helpless brother in black. As much as we abhor the "drink habit," we would far rather see our boy come; out of a whisky saloon beggarly drunk than to see him come home after participating in the lynching of any human soul. Indeed, we would refuse to own him as a son any more. We verily believe that the ignorant Georgia mobs would (because of their extreme savagery) lynch our Lord Jesus Christ in effigy! Again, we want to impress it in the minds of our people that we ourselves are too little concerned about the alarming increase of the lynchings of men and women of our race. And if ever there was a time for the so-called leaders and lovers of the race to show their manhood and love for their own people, it is now! We need not sit down and wait for some white man to start the fight against lynching. Let the Colored people start the fight, and we believe that there are thousands of good white men and women who would help by their pen and voice. But where are our leaders? And who are they? Have they not heard about the shameful lynching and burning which is happening about HOTEL HOTEL DALE CAPE MAY, N. J.

GEORGIA. every week in the year? Where are the Negro ministers of the gospel who delight in being credited with the great things they are doing for the race? What are they doing outside of meeting every Sunday to get all the money they can out of the poor people? The ministers claim that they can't live and support their families off less than $125.00 or a $150.00 a month. Well, now, if the preacher can't preach for any less than that amount, how does he think that the average member, who doesn't make $40.00 a month, can live and support his family out of that little amount? Ought not any man aim to take as good care of his wife and children as the preacher, or anybody else? We do not wish it understood that we are making any fight on the good ministers of the gospel; for we are not; but the average preacher of this day and time loves the race only for the amount of money he can get out of it. They are being paid big salaries and given costly suits of clothes by the people whom they profess to love so much; and yet, for the lack of proper officials of the church, can leave their post of duty for weeks—(out money-grafting)—and demand their full salaries at home. The reacher is preaching for a set sum of money, and he should be at his post of duty every Sunday, or any time he is needed, just like the employees of the government or any other places of business. And the proper officials of the church should see to it that he does. No church can be what God would have it be when a "money-mad" preacher is allowed to be the "whole thing." Again we ask, where are the leaders? Some good preachers make good leaders of their oppressed race. Yes you may find one good man—one that you can rely on—out of every two thousand. And when such an one is found, he should not want for the support of the followers. Very recently, a gentleman came here among us from Oklahoma. He has been very highly spoken of as a great leader of his oppressed race in that State. We refer to the Rev. W. H. Jernagin. Being such a great leader, we sometimes wonder has Brother Jernagin heard about all this lynching of Colored human souls at the South since he's been in Washington. We hope that the Rev. Dr. Jernagin did not think his task was done when he left Oklahoma; for if the influence of a leader was ever needed, Brother Jernagin, it is now! We, as a race, are too silent, and appear before even the white people who would speak for us, to be too indifferent about the unencelled for willful abuses of our people. Rev Jernagin, if he be that you are a race leader, arise! and let your light shine! Call the people of Washington and of the States together and hold a "mass meeting," out of which a delegation should be selected to wait on the President of the United States and petition him to use his good offices as for as he can, to call a halt on the increasing lynching business at the South. Our men of known ability should be encouraged for what they have done, and are still doing, for their race. This is no time for personal bigotry. Our men of manhood and worth should receive the hearty support of the followers. When political parties meet in national conventions, they always have what is called "planks" in their platforms, either condemning or approving of certain things. Now, if they be wise and courageous the Colored delegates should join as one man in trying to have an "anti-lynching plank" (and condemning the idea of the Civil Service Board demanding a photo of each applicant for a government position, which is repugnant to a square deal for Colored applicants for places in the government service) in the platform. To accomplish this you should send only delegates there who are known to possess the qualifications and the manhood to fight for these very important things; and if the voters are looking for a man instead of "ground hog leaders," who only appear once in every four years, to stand up and fight for their rights, they will find that man to be the Hon. W. Calvin Chase. Mr. Chase is fully capable and is very worthy to represent his race in that coming great national convention. Let the voters see to it that he be elected a delegate.

The Bee has the highest respect for the man, woman, girl and boy who are forced by circumstances to work as a domestic. The strangest and most surprising thing is why colored domestics refuse to work for their own color. To a great extent they are treated better by their own people than they are by the more fortunate white people. Of course there are exceptions. There are some colored people just as there are white people who don't know how to treat a domestic. There are today hundreds of young women graduates from the public schools in this city who are unable to obtain employment. Every summer hundreds of our graduates are compelled to leave their homes and find employment at summer resorts. It is unfortunate, but nevertheless true. Then again young colored girls who do domestic work think themselves too good to work for their own nationality. Many of them would rather be "Jim Crowed" and do the most menial kind of work for those whom they regard superior to those in their own race. It is an unfortunate spectacle to see hundreds of young colored graduates from our Normal school and the Armstrong Manual training school in the hotels and private, boarding houses during the summer season. Mothers who permit their girls to leave home and fathers who are too mean to support them at home until they can do better. Parents disregard the temptations and snares that confront them. What must they do? There are fathers who are doing well and banking their money, while many of their children are prostituting their bodies, because of the neglect of the parents. There are no avenues open to our young men and young women. If by chance they should obtain employment in a public office, the colored man doesn't have that respect for the honor of their females as the white man. Every nationality protects the female except the colored American. Let's do something for our females. WM. PATTERSON BORLAND: WM. PATTERSON BORLAND. Elsewhere in this week's issue of The Bee will be seen and read with interest a letter from Mr. Barnett and an excerpt from a speech that was supposed to have been delivered in the House of Representatives February 28, but permission was given this statesman (?) to have his remarks printed, in the Congres- sional Record. This distinguished (?) statesman from Missouri could not deliver this great (?) state document without a dirty fling at the colored clerks in the departments of the government. Wm. Patterson Borland, of Kansas City, Mo., was born in Leavenworth, Kans., October 4, 1867; was graduated in 1892 from the law department of the University of Michigan; entered upon the practice of law at Kansas City; in 1895 he assisted in organizing the Kansas City School of Law, and was elected its dean. His biography in the Congressional Record doesn't show that he ever had a prior training in the arts and sciences or whether he ever had a common school education. He jumped from law into politics and other minor positions, but there is one thing that stuck to his "gizard" and that was the negro, who seemed to be most predominant in his mind in the discussion of the eight-hour law. The reference he made to the colored office holder and which The Bee reproduces this week, shows the brain of a small man. The readers of The Bee are requested to read it and judge of the greatness of the great Missouri statesman. PARTY BOLTERS. The republicans in this city are so sensible and too loyal to their party to support bolters. No man can support a bolting republican and exist in this city or any other city. At present there are three tickets in the field. There are two tickets at present to which consideration should be given by republicans in this city. The Bradaw ticket and the Miller ticket are stronger than the Moose ticket. The latest charge that is being made against the Moose ticket is that it has quarters for colored voters and quarters for white gentlemen and plenty of money behind it, because the Riggs bank is supporting it. The colored voters are no fools and it makes no difference how much money the Riggs Bank spends for its tickets it will not be supported by the loyal republicans in this city. Colored men cannot be so easily purchased as many may think. The moment you attempt to purchase a colored voter in this city you will lose out. There is no show for a ticket of bolters to be elected over the regulars. RACHEL. Some ancient writer conceived a plot and christened it "Rachel." The dignitaries presented the plot to a select audience and what was it? It was ancient because no such acts are committed today, any more than what that diabolical play of the Birth of a Nation shows. Rachel might have been in good taste at the time white men committed acts of violence on the honor of colored women, but not now. The author of the play might have conceived a plot based upon modern civilization. In the days of slavery the white man was guilty of what the play of Rachel portrayed. The colored as well as the white race cannot be portrayed now as they were in ante-bellum days. Rachel should not be played any more, because there is nothing to learn from it. DR S L CORROTHERS Our distinguished townsman, S. L. Corrothers, has not joined the Baptist Connection and nobody was authorized to circulate such an erroneous report. The Bee speaks authoritatively. JUDGE JAMES L. PUGH Every member of the bar, regardless of color, condition or political affiliation, have endorsed Judge James L. Pugh for reappointment. There is no judge upon the bench any more popular or better appreciated than he. The Bee will publish next week what the lawyers and citizens think of him. DAVIS MEMORIAL "Try the spirits whether they are of God: They that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God."—John IV, 1 verse. There will be special services at Davis Memorial, 516 Tennessee avenue northeast next Sunday evening, 3 p. m., at which time Mrs. Helen A. Davis evangelist in charge, will bless Bible Spiritualism from the 91st Pp, 11 verses. "For He shall give His angels guard over thee to keep the in all thy ways." Mrs. Davis will be assisted by a well-trained quartette composed of Mr. and Mrs. J. Thompson, Mrs. Leonora Bruce, Mr. Harry Hutchinson. She dedicated her home last February 20, for a memorial to the advancement of religious science and social uplift work. The dedicatory services were attended by a capacity audience which was representative. At the conclusion of every service there will be demonstrations of the unfoldment of the infinite possibilities of God's gifts through spirit messages. All are welcome. Those who will assist Mrs. Davis from time to time are Dr. Wm. Pindle and Mrs. M. Winters, demonstrators. 9th DISTRICT REPUBLICANS. At a meeting of the 9th District republicans held Monday night, W. Calvin Chase, Frank. Nolta (white) De Reef Miller, Charles L. Skinner and M. King were elected delegates to the convention to be held in Grand Army Hall, Thursday evening, April 4th, to name delegates and alternates to be voted for at the primaries for the National Republican Convention, to be held in Chicago, Ill., June 7th. The action of the executive committee of the Capital City United Republican Clubs was endorsed and on motion of Mr. King, it was voted to work in conjunction with Robert I. Miller. THE MAGNETS. The tenth regular meeting of The Magnets was held on the evening of Saturday, February 26th, at the home of Mr. H. Francis Ledbetter, 1167 Sixth street northeast. When all the important business demanding the immediate attention of the club had been completed, Dr. O. S. Valentine, the speaker of the evening, was presented. In a brief and eloquent address, Dr. Valentine urged the young men to ardently support the noble principles and high ideals upon which the club had been founded. Following the address a short musical and literary program was rendered after which the club and its guests were entertained at supper by Mr. Ledbetter. The guests of the club for the evening were Mr. Clarence Gray, Dr. O. S. Valentine, Mr. Herbert Marshall and Mr. Joseph Stewart. PUBLIC MEN AND THINGS PUBLIC MEN AND THINGS (By the Sage of the Potomac.) I attended the play called Rachel. I wondered to myself if the intelligent of Avenue De Nigg didn't intend some time to throw off the moss of deception. "Sassiety" was out and it was amusing to see the Moose candidate for delegate git up and walk out. Behind him, or rather in front of him, with me-too lawyer who is not so much in evidence since he knows that the real ticket is to be named. All of the old bankrupts were present and just how they expect to boost their candidate, I am in a thinking wonder. You can't always believe what your so-called friends tell you. The individual who is playing hot and cold is being strictly watched and if he believes that his suave talk will win the confidence of the judges he is mistaken. There is nothing like a manly man. --- Don't you know that Byers is a happy individual? He is like the play of Hamlet. Now, why is Byers like the play of Hamlet? If Hamlet was left out, there would be no Hamlet. I always love to look in his smiling face. He has a pleasant, word for everybody and if he doesn't you he will before the show is over. That pland-like smile caught Byers napping and when he was all fastened on the hook, he was tied before he knew that he was out of the water. Billy King and his clever company held forth at Howard this week. My opinion is that Billy could play tragedy on some fine melodrama. Have you ever heard Tilghman? You should not only hear him, but you should see him as Dumas. I am always amused at my old friend Ralph Tyler. Ralph is never happy unless he creates a sensation. If the colored vote amounts to anything in Ohio the white republicans will consider wisely before they turn him down in the coming contest. Tom Clark, who is canvassing for the Moose ticket, imagines that he is lecturing to a Sunday school. Tom says that the Moose ticket is composed of Chase men. How can Tom utter such a thing? It takes a clean broom to sweep a clean floor, so the housekeeper remarks, when she passes with her husband. I rather like Tom but he is just naturally on the wrong side. If he would only leave out clean candidates, brilliant lawyers and doctors, the voters would be more inclined to listen to him. Speaking about politics the Miller ticket is the stongest yet in the field and when the election day comes there will be a slump somewhere. The sensation will soon come. Wait for it. SHE CREATES A SENSATION. Continued from page we place her?" It is "unsanitary," Gentlemen, "for two teachers to teach in one clean room," but it was not unsanitary for one teacher to teach in the filth and dirt just described to you. (Turning to Mr. Armstrong) This was your version of sanitation. Now as to where the fourth teacher should be placed. Kind Sirs, she was placed in the very room which my sister was forced to leave (because it was unsanitary.) Fearing public sentiment and opinion, Mr. Armstrong brought her back to the school. Yes, back to the school. But where did he place her? In an unfinished—I can't say room, for it was partitioned off; yes, in this unfinished room. The room and hall, all in one. In the lower hall many windows were out and I need not say that winds and weather of all kind found its way to her room. The room was not even plastered; simply lathed. Gentlemen, you have all seen builders building houses and each of you know the condition of a room before it is plastered. More than this, there was the scaffold where the hell was supposed to be placed. It was through this that you could see the sky itself; to say nothing of the rain or what-not which found entrance to the room. These were the conditions under which she was forced to labor. (Turning to armstrong) And now, sir, may I ask your reason for doing these things.) (Paused as though waiting for an answer.) You need not answer; I have your answer: It was because she was a Catholic. Yes, I repeat, because she was a Catholic. Let me say here that we feel or, in fact, we know that the members of this Board neither approved nor had any knowledge of these conditions, for knowing that there are several Catholics among you, we feel that you would and could not sit in your chair of business and allow such conditions to exist. Mr. Armstrong, you can't deny this. It is too late now. Why were all these things done may I ask, Sir? Simply to make her complain in order that you could report her to this honorable board and file same as charges in order to "put her out," But, kind sir, she fooled you, did she not? (Turning to Armstrong) Mr. Armstrong, allow me to say that we knew nothing of these conditions until this fall when the court case for one of the teachers came up. For had we known these things she would not have taught a single day. She taught under these conditions until the completion of school. In the fall of 1915, just a few months ago, she asked for a stove door; not a stove, Gentlemen, but a door. A trustee meeting was held and this matter brought before them. Mr. Mr. Armstrong got up and said: "I was in Miss Cooper's room the night before and it was so hot I had to open the room door. Thus the door was also denied her; and to this day there is no door. On December 18, 1914, she was compelled to leave her school on account of pneumonia. Mr. Armstrong went about from door to door, enemy to enemy, friend to friend, inquiring of him, promising to arm. Even went so far as to coat up our family, physician and, Gentlemen, I assure you that Dr. Thomas Martin. one of the oldest physicians in Washington, D. C., kave him an answer ington, D. C., gave him an answer. On December 15, 1915, she left her school, having had a second attack of pneumonia. During the holidays a wake was held her by the teachers, children, parents and trustees. Shortly after the receipt of this basket, Mr. Armstrong said to the teacher that he knew that Miss Cooper would never return to Fairmount Heights school again, for he had seen the mark on her neck. May I ask you, sir, what the mark was? Did you poison the basket? Before and since her death he had been holding meetings to discuss her health. A short time ago she sent Mr. Borrougha, a letter asking for a leave of absence for three months. After the sending of this letter a "secret meeting" was held at night, and one of the present trustee's wife made a motion which seconded and voted on that she be not allowed to return to school, because she thought or knew, (I do not remember which term was used), but giving her the benefit of the doubt, I will say she thought that she had tuberculosis. Let me say, Gentlemen, in his presence that she may think what she pleases, but she dare not know. On Tuesday last, just one week ago today, February 29, 1912, a meeting was held in the Fairmount Heights public school. It was in this meeting that Mr. Armatrong declared before parents and teachers that Miss Cooper came to them weak. Because I believe in giving every man a chance, I give you one chance to defend yourself; either go back before the same body of parents and teachers and deny your statement or come before the Marlboro courts and prove it. Understand me thoroughly: Either go before the same body of parents and teachers and deny your statement, or come before the Marlboro courts and prove it. Mr. Armstrong sent us a letter of sympathy. Because of forgetfulness on my part I left it at home. But as per the request of my family I was to present it to you in the presence of this Board of Education, your letter and extend to you our family's profoundest contempt. Your letter, sir, will be mailed to you on my return home. You also had resolutions drawn up denying these things, the same to be sent to the bereaved family. Turn Ammunition. Sir, we will accept anything from the parents and teachers, but nothing from you under their name. Send your resolutions, and I will mail them to you unopened. Let me say in conclusion that as true as there is a God in heaven, I say as true as this condition is true so is it true that there is a finger that is cold and stiff in death that points to you with shame, and will ever point to you until you are called from here to answer your charges. I pray to God that he may give you strength to treat those left under your care with more respect. It was at this point that Mr. Armstrong was called on to answer this speech. He attempted to answer by denying as many things as he could, and admitting to things that he could not deny. He dechared that my information was based on hear-say and that he missed the course. Mrs Cooper then said: 'Gentlemen, Mr. Woodward, the present chairman of your trustee committee, sat in my home, the day after my sister's death, in the presence of witnesses and acknowledged all of these things. He could not, nor did he attempt to deny them. He also stated that he himself was the one who had saved her from going. "Can you call this hear-say informatio, Mr. Armstrong? There is nothing that you can say or do that we do not hear and in the presence of this honorable board, let me say we don't get this information from any teacher or teachers. Gentlemen, I thank you!" Space will not allow the printing of the entire address. Miss Cooper spoke fully 40 minutes and every member of the board was charmed with her plea and eloquence. THE ENCHANTORS. The boys of Mount Pleasant have formed a club to which they decided to give the name of "The Enchantors," and as every club thinks best to give an initial dance to specially invited guests, "The Enchantors" gave to their many friends on Friday, March 3, inst.; their first dance at the residence of one of the members of the club, Mr. George King, 3218 Sherman avenue. The ladies were gowned most elegantly, while the gentlemen wore the conventional dress suits. The members of the club were distinguished by white carnations, which were used as an emblem of the club. Some of those present were Misses Eleanor and Carrie Blackwell, Carissa Jackson, Helen Ball and Francis Addison. The gentlemen were Messrs. Roscoe Randolph McKenney, Ritchard Addison, Earle Dickman, George King, Richard Ware, James Wallace, Leroy Meyers, Thomas Bruce, Oswald Williams, William Lewis, Mr. Garner and Harry Lee. The members of the club are Messrs. George King, Richard Ware, James Wallace, Leroy Meyers and Earle Dishman. Refreshments were served after the dance. NEGRO HIS SUBJECT. Is There to be No Rest for the Weary? Washington, D. C. March 6, 1916. To the Editor of the Bee: It is past understanding how a gentleman (gentle man) can so belittle himself as to incense the hot poli and become one of them. It is presumed that his actions, even when directed to the rabble, would be to lift the undesirables from the slough of degration to the realm of uprightness, enhanced by the virtues of just and honest men who desire the well being of their fellowmen, if not by the grace of God, at least by the spirit of altrism. It is because of this thought that we find it hard to understand the reason why Hon. William P. Borland, in discussing his "rider" to the Appropriation Bill, he should put into the Con- gressional Record of February 28, under the "Extension of Remarks," a speech not delivered in the House, insidiously attacking the negro, who, as a man with the constitutional rights of an American citizen, passes the civil service examinations and is appointed to a position in a department of the Government. Representative Borland wishes to increase the working hours of the clerks in the executive departments one hour. He is privileged to offer his bill in the Congress and have it considered. If the Congress thinks it a proper bill and a benefit to the country, it will enact it into law; otherwise it will not. But Mr. Borland should not resort to small, mean, contemptible, specious argument against the negro and inslame the prejudice of the Congress and his home people to help him in his attempt to add one hour to the work-day of 35,000 white men and women. Now, that a better understanding of what is desired to be brought before your readers, we here give the paraphrase in a manner entirely added, to the speech. He says: "There are many enterprising and skilful men among the Government employees, and some of them are scientists and experts, whose services are worth more than the Government pays them, but these are all working under the eight-hour schedule now and will not be affected by the change in the laws. On the slackers we need waste no sympathy. There are a number of negroes in the civil service, and almost without exception, they are in the purely clerical departments where the seven-hour day prevails and not in the mechanical and technical branches where the eight-hour daw is enforced. I am to thank among the young men of the department both the husband and wife, take the civil-service examination and secure appointment, if possible, in the same office. As they get to work late in the morning and go home early in the afternoon, it is possible for them to keep house and raise an interesting brood of pickaninies while drawing two comfortable salaries from the Federal Government. Sometimes the wife only works in the department, and the husband rests at home or devotes his talents to preaching the gospel." This diatribe does not reflect so mischievously upon the Negro as is intended. On the contrary it credits the negro with being capable and able; and upon his merits and not his color, he receives his appointment. And further, but his efficiency and not love for him, he holds his position. It is to be regretted, however, that owing to the use of the photographs used, now fewer negroes receive appointments under the civil service; and worse still, should any now in the civil service lose their positions, not any others would be taken in to fill the vacancies. The negro again regrets, that Mr. Borland does not want him to keep house and raise a respectable family. He rejoices, however, that he has the grace of God in his heart and is able to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ. In it he finds solace and comfort, unlike he discovers in the gospel of Representative William P. Borland. HOTEL NEWS. R. De Reef Miller The Briggs House in Chicago has taken the lead in opening a large Cafeteria, or Dairy Lunch, in connection with the regular dining rooms, in order to stop the guests from the hotel who have been in the habit of using the hotel as their business agency and eating elsewhere. The Briggs House management claims that the lunch room that has been recently installed in the hotel gives an additional outlet for the products of the hotel kitchen, and thus brings a fancy profit on many goods that ordinarily would be wasted. From the above we find that Chicago hotel 'men' are having, their troubles with the ever-increasing dairy lunches that have been overcrowding this city and all eastern cities for the past several years. Experience has taught modern hotel men that cheap guests are of very little profit to the hotel. While the Briggs House movement might prove successful; but the better class of patrons do not care to stop at the family hotel that caters to the dairy lunch trade. If this new prohibition measure ever passes all of Washington hotel dining rooms, rathskellers, and restaurants will be a practical dairy lunch, as tea, coffee and milk will be the popular beverages in place of the fine imported wines and California vintage that the hotel cellars are now stocked with, and just imagine a waiter suggesting apple cider with a welsh rarebite in place of beer. Billy Sunday will be coming over from Baltimore and the restaurant business will be going there. Walter Nickens, a former waiter of this city, was slightly injured in a wreck on an Atlantic Coast Line railroad dining car while on duty last week between Washington and St. Augustine. Fla. 'The Army and Navy Club Waiter's Association are planning to give a very elaborate ball and reception at Odd Fellows' Hall. Friday evening, March 17, 1916. The officers of the association are well-known among the hotel people. The newly elected officers are Benjamin Headon, president; Wm. Smith, vice; J. W. West, secretary; James Parker, assistant secretary; R. G. Smoot, treasurer; R. Jones, assistant treasurer; W. L. Preastly, floor manager; Labron Rudisill, sergeant-at-arms.

Mr. Montgomery was in this city several days ago soon after his graduation from Avery Normal Institute of Charleston, S.C. After a very drop in business and the earlier force of twenty waiters dropped to six, Cafe Wilson closed its doors on Wednesday morning, March 8th. This proves that Fif- teenth and F streets is a bad restaurant corner. It will be remembered that Cafe Republique and the Jardin de Dance both were failures, at the same location. George Dinsmore, secretary to the head waiter at Cafe Wilson, is now doing well on watch No. 2 at the Ebbitt Cafe, following the resignation of James T. Hodges. J. W. Coleman, the renowned head waiter at the Cosmos Club, has some very fine banquets booked for the latter part of the month. Mr. Coleman promises a great deal of extra work at that time for idle waiters. Capt. J. B. Penn, in charge of the "Gold Room" for several months at the New Ebbitt collapsed under a severe attack of nervous prostration while on duty Wednesday evening, March 8. First-aid treatment was immediately applied by Dr. McCloud, with great success. AN OPERATIC "If Dreams Came True" Given by the Junior Member of St. Augus- sin College. The musical play, in two acts, which was rendered before a large and appreciative audience last Tuesday night was a great success. The characters in the play were well trained and exceptionally adapted to their different parts. Masters Cardinal Carter and Leo Spriggs played the role of ardent lovers, while little Charlie Miles as Helene, was queen of both hearts and as a little flirt could not be beaten. John Jones as principal of a select boarding school kept the hall in a roar of laughter, and his cast as an old man in love, was exceptionally good. Others in love, including Angleton, representing the young of today, her part well. Mr. Hampton Curtis and Iola Mugradur, as model housekeepers and society aspirants, were faultless. Marie Devaul, as maid, and her conspiracy with Lloyd Wicks, whose role as a French Nobleman, displayed keenly the trickery of high life. The sweet voice of Isadore Williams won the hearts of many.

A LEAR YEAR PARTY. At a delightful leap year party given at the True Reformers' Hall on Friday evening, March 3rd, 1916, the young women released themselves from the old custom of allowing the men to do the selecting of partners and took advantage of the opportunity that comes with year when February has twenty-nine days, which gives them freedom to select their partners. At the beginning of the evening they showed plainly that timidity possessed them, but upon realizing that the men made no effort to move from their seats, and that the splendid music being rendered was not being used for ladies requested their company to dance; from that moment on all evidence of timidity was lost and the hall was a place of merriment. After a chat with everybody's friend Dr. Perry put new life into the plano. A cotillion was lead by Miss Volorie Chase and Mr. S. O. Plummer, at the end of which favors of whistles and fans were distributed by the chaperons, Mrs. Woodson and Miss Randolph.

E. hurch was full of citizens in all walks of life, to hear the famous Fisk Jubilee Singers, of Nashville, Tenn. The concert was given jointly by the Metropolitan Church, Rev. C. H. Steptheau, pastor, and Plymouth Congregational Church, Rev. A. C. Garner, pastor. The cooperating committee consisted of Geo. A. Robinson, John W. Cromwell, Gregory W. Shead, W. O. Davis, J. L. Nelli and S. M. Kendrick. There was also a ticket committee of twenty-five from each church under the leadership of Mrs. Virginia B. Jeter of Metropolitan, and Miss. Martha Lee, of Plymouth Churches. There was friendly competition between the churches. Miss Martha Lee of Plymouth church won the $15 prize. The pastors were so well pleased with the services of the Jubilee Singers that they arranged a visit to the White House where the singers met the President of the United States. The Jubilee Singers said they enjoyed the splendid audience, and frankly confessed that Washington had given them the most representative audience they had seen on this tour. Fisk is going school and Washington is a great city. The Bee also is glad to say a good word for the spirit of cooperation between our churches and pastors. More of this should be done by all our churches and pastors. WEST WASHINGTON. Rev. Jas. R. L. Diggs, the newly elected pastor of the First Baptist Church, occupied the pulpit of the church on Sunday morning and delivered a very eloquent sermon to a large congregation. Rev. Diggs is now permanently installed and enters into his duties as pastor with much encouragement. A very successful rally at Ebenezer A. M. E. Church was concluded on last Sunday by Rev. W. A. Green, who recently took charge of the church and raised $150.00 toward the improvement fund-of the church, to begin about April 1st, which will be beautifully painted and carpeted-at a cost five hundred dollars. The Fourth Quarterly conference of Mt. Zion M. E. Church was held on Friday evening and was largely attended by the members who were interested in the annual election of officers and contemplated change of pastorate this conference year. It is rumored that a committee has already petitioned for a change which is the renewal of last year's request in which the pastor was victorious and hoped to return for another year. The meeting at the close was very spirited and the District superintendent, Rev. Hughes, had occasion to admonish the members of the conference to harmonious action and to accept the judgment of the conference to convene at Richmond, Va., during this month. After the stormy discussion the meeting at a late hour, adjourned, singing "Blest be the Tie." Mr. Geo. T. Beason has been re-elected reading stewart of Mt. Zion M. E.

Jackson, 1614 Morris Rd, Anacostia, on the evening of Friday, March third. That the affair was a wonderful success-as one of the most brilliant functions of the season was well evidenced by the absolute distinctiveness and complete individuality that have always characterized both the formal and informal receptions of the club. Beginning at ten and lasting until eleven-thirty o'clock, the leap year dances provided great enjoyment for all present and at the conclusion of this part of the evening's entertainment choice refreshments were served a la buffet.

For the sake of the poor of my people Israel, I will write for them the testimony of Jesus (Mark 4:9, 10, 11 and 12). "And He said unto them, He that have ears to hear, let him hear. And when He was alone, they that were about Him with the twelve asked of Him the parable. And He said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the Kingdom of God; but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables; that seeing, they may not see and not perceive; and hearing, they may hear, and not understand; jest at any time they should be converted, and their sins be forgiven them. John 12:37 to 43: "But though He had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on Him, that the saying of Esalas the Prophet might be fulfilled which he spoke. Lord, who believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed? Therefore they could not believe; because Esalas said again, He hath blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts, that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them. These things said Esalah (Isaiah 6:9, 10 when he saw his glory, and spake of Him; nevertheless, among the chief rulers also many believed on Him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess Him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue; for they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God. Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on Him that sent me; and that seeth me, seeth Him that sent me. I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness; and if any man hear my words and believe not. I judge him not; for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. He that rejecteth me and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him. The word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day; for I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me. He gave me a commandment what I should say; and I know his commandment is life everlasting. Whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak (John 12:44, 50). Now, why will you continue to pay these libelous liars to keep you in bondage? Who rob you every, Sabbath, and is ready to take the stump and help bind you at every election from one quarter to another; bind you under the lowest disgraceful Gentile generation known now to be living upon the earth; bind you to and for any cause of a dollar; is satisfied just as long as he have a plenty and some for speculation, buying land, going bonds, and any thing to be an advance to his purse. Read Paul's testimony (Acts 28:25, 27). Who knew of the bloody, low, and dirty deeds of the Gentiles better than he? The first that inserted the word nigger among the pages of Holy Writ and caused the word to grow, making a man an offender for a word (Isaiah 29:15 to 21). And now that libelous hypocrite sits up in the White House, looking back on the days of slavery, and writes of our fathers as being their property, worshipping and serving George Washington, the liar born on February 22, with a lie in his mouth. That was declared in one of the largest cities of the United States, and a few dollars turned loose by him among these lying-Black Billy Sundays will give him plenty of rope to the poor of every class for another four years.

There are many enterprising and skillful men among the government employees, and some of them are scientists and experts, whose services are worth more than the Government pays them, but these are all working under the eight-hour schedule now and will not be affected by the change in the laws. On the slackers we need waste no sympathy. There are a number of Negroes in the civil service, and, almost without exception, they are in the purely clerical departments where the seven-hour day prevails and not in the mechanical and technical branches where the eight-hour day is enforced. I am told that among the young Negro couples it is customary for both the husband and wife to take the civil service examination and secure appointment, if possible, in the same office. As they get to work late in the morning and go home early in the afternoon, it is possible for them to keep house and raise an interesting brood of pickaninns while drawing two comfortable salaries from the federal government. Sometimes the wife only works in the department, and the husband rests at home or devotes his talents to preaching the gospel. The most bitter opponents of any reform in the law, the men who have denounced it as inhuman and oppressive, who have reviled Congress in public and private, who have stirred up all this hysteria at the mere suggestion of efficiency and economy, are the mercantile interests of the city of Washington. These merchants, with the real estate and banking interests with which they are allied, and the newspapers which subsist upon their patronage, control the public opinion of the Dis- WARE'S DEPARTMENT 1832 Fourteenth Street Full Line of Standard Makes Ladies' and Gents' Furnishing, Caps and Chairs Earnestly Solicited Real Values Ware's Shoes JAMES H.

They have an influence which is powerful, persistent and insidious. Through the various national organizations that are centered in Washington they frequently attempt to extend this influence out in the country, and by "back-fire" seek to coerce Members of Congress to yield to their demands. These merchants would like to have the shopping districts crowded with government employees in the early afternoon. Their interests lie in the direction of having the greatest possible number of people employed in the departments at the highest possible pay and working the shortest possible time. More people and a short work day means more trade, more amusements, more house rent, and the merchants and landlords get substantially all of the clerk's salary. It is easy to understand their position in opposing reform. It is simple and candid. Their fixed idea is that the federal government exists for their benefit, and not for the people who maintain it. They look upon it as their cow; they do not care who feeds it the hay, but they must have the milk. Under the Constitution the District of Columbia exists solely for the convenience and safety of the nation as the seat of government, and not for the profit or convenience of those who choose to own property or do business here. --- All Goods Delivered Phone North 4926 Sept.

Consecration Necessary to Understand the Scriptures—How to "Redeem the Time"—Difficulties in the Way—How to Study the Bible—Tests of Loyalty—Why "The Days Are Evil"—The Christian's Proper Adorning. New York City, March 5. Pastor Russell, gave a very practical address tonight at the New York City Temple, W. Cird St., near Broadway. It is text was, "See that ye walk circumspectly, not as tools, but as wise, redeeming the time, because the PASIOR RUSSELL PASIOR RUSSELL days are evil. - Ephesians 5:15, 16. The speaker called attention to the fact that the Bible is addressed only to the Church; for the Lord is not dealing with the world at present. Many lose sight of this point, and therefore are confused when they attempt to study the Scriptures. The Lord is not telling mankind what to do, but is instructing His servants as to what steps they should take from the time when they become His people. Before any one can understand God's word, he must take the step of full consecration to the Divine will. To Christians, then, is given the message of this text. God's children should conduct themselves wisely, carefully, redeeming the time. We redeem our time when we make some sacrifice, in order to have time for some other purpose. There are certain natural claims upon our time. We must eat, sleep, earn a living, etc. Our families, our friends and our neighbors have some proper claims upon us. Husbands have some proper obligations toward their wives, and wives toward their husbands; children toward parents, and parents toward children. Then, beyond our obligations, the world presents many allurements. Thus our time may be filled full in multitudinous ways. But God has called His children, to be New Creatures. He has put into their minds new plans, new interests, and into their lives new work, new obligations. Since they have found that the Lord has invited them to become joint-heirs with His Son Jesus in the glories of the Kingdom, they have realized that all things earthly are but transitory; and they wish to set their minds on the Heavenly things. But they find very little time for meditation upon the things which God has promised to His children: To them, therefore, the Apostle says, "Redeem the time"-lay it back. Curtail other things, that you may have more time to cultivate your own character, to study the Scriptures. How to Study the Bible. The Pastor here gave some valuable suggestions is to profitable Bible study. His profound knowledge of Scripture reminds these suggestions especially helpful. He showed that the mere reading of chapter after chapter does comparatively little good, and that study or outline produces much better results. Like an arithmetic, the Bible is full of problems to be studied, not merely read. We should study the Scriptures according to what God outlines as His Plan of the Ages. In this there are five main divisions: from Creation to the Deluge, from the Deluge to Christ's First Coming; from His First Coming to His Second Coming, then the Millennial Age, lastly the ages to follow. Each Scripture should be examined in relation to its context. The proper understanding of God's Word requires much time and study. Therefore no Christian can afford to spend consecrated time in gratifying the appetites, tastes and desires of his old nature, however right and proper these may be in their own place. If as a New Creature he lets himself drift, the flesh will take possession of everything. Then he will die of spiritual sturation. The duty of each Christian is first to build bimself up spiritually, and then assign others. Why "The Days Are Evil." Today many blessings of an earthly kind are coming in, preparatory to the New Age. The hearer we get to the establishment of God's Kingdom, the greater is the pressure on all sides. This should be an incentive to God's children to assemble themselves for Bible study. (Hebrews 10:25.) All about us is "the fire" of the "great Day of the Lord," which is to "try, every man's work"—his faith structure. Only those faith structures that are built with the gold, silver and precious stones of God's Truth will stand the test. God expects His children to be careful of their time, their conduct, their apparel. If any of these have thought that in their consecration their earthly interests will be just as well cared for as before, then they either do not understand consecration or else are not living up to their devotion of worship. Christians should give less attention to bodily comforts and more time to Bible study, to service for the Lord the Truth and the brethren. This is His arrangement for them as New Creatures. They profess to have renounced the pride and vanity of the flesh and to have set their affections on Heavenly things. They dare they should live up to their profession. TWO BANDS OF GOD'S HEROES Hebrews 11:1-12:2—March 12. Faith Heroes of the Jewish Age—Faith Heroes of the Gospel Age—The House of Solvants—The House of Sons. Earthly Promises—Heavenly Promises—Resurrection to Perfect Human Nature—Resurrection to Divine Nature—The Christian Race Course. "Let us with patience run the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the Author and Pinnaker of our faith."—Hebrews 12:2. THE Bible puts faith before works, because no works can be acceptable to God, unless inspired by faith. (Hebrews 11:6.) The Bible brings to our attention two distinct classes of Faith Heroes, both pleasing to God and both to be highly rewarded by Him. One of these classes preceded Jesus' day; the other follows His day. The first class are therefore known as the Ancient Worthies; the latter class, with Jesus as their Head, are styled the Sons of God. This distinction or division of God's servants, although clearly marked in the Scriptures, has been overlooked by the Lord's people until recent years. No matter how faithful or loyal Enoch, Abraham, David, Jeremiah, etc., were, they could not be recognized by God as members of the House of Sons, because they lived before Jesus tasted death for every man. Adam was recognized as a son of God. ( Luke 13:28 ) From the time that sin entered the world, they brought Adam's disobedience. UNITED NATIONS AIR COMMUNICATIONS SERVICE ence. God recognized none of the human family as His sons. "All were slimers," until Jesus came and died, "the Just for the unjust," that He might bring us back to God and open to us the door of sonship. In Hebrews 3:5:6 the distinction is clearly marked between the noble brethren before the Cross, the last of whom was John the Baptist, and the noble brethren since the Cross, the first of whom were the Apostles. That John the Baptist was the last of the Ancient Worthies is attested by the Master—Luke 7:28. Two Sets of Promises. St. Paul makes this distinction between the Ancient Worthies and the Christian Worthies in today's lesson. After naming many of the prominent ones of the past, he declares that they were pleasing to God, noble, praiseworthy, because of their faith. Then he calls attention to the fact that they never received the promises which God made to them. Prior to Jesus' day God did not promise Heavenly things. The promises to the Ancient Worthies were all earthly; as that made to Abraham in Genesis 13:14-17. St. Stephen calls attention to the fact that this promise to Abraham is still unfulfilled. He declares that Abraham never received enough of that land promised him to set his foot upon. On this promise he predicates the resurrection of Abraham, that in God's time he may inherit the land and that his faithful posterity will inherit it after him. Acts 7:5. On the other hand, the New Testament promises are only spiritual—"Heavenly promises," "things above." The Christian Worthies are promised a share with Jesus in the Heavenly Kingdom which He is to establish at His Second Coming. They are to be His joint-heirs, a Kingdom of Priests, a Royal Priesthood; while the promise to the Ancient Worthies is that they shall be made "princes in all the earth." (Romans 8:17; 1 Peter 2:9; Revelation 20:6; Psalm 45:16.) The Christian Heroes are to have a change from human nature to Divine, the beginning of this change being the Holy Spirit begetting in the present time, and its completion being that of the resurrection. (1 Corinthians 15:42-44.) But the Ancient Worthies, not receiving the begetting of the Holy Spirit to a new nature, will have a different resurrection—to human perfection. In Vespers 33 and 40 St. Paul contrasts these two classes of Faith Heroes. The Christian Race-Course. In the two closing verses of today's Study, the Apostle addresses the Church. He would have us consider the Ancient Worthles—what they endured, how faithful and loyal they were. He would have us consider them as though they were a cloud of witnesses watching us, to whom has been given this still greater privilege of becoming sons of God on the Divine plane—John 1:12; 2 Peter 1:4. # He pictures before us a great race course, in which we are runners. He pictures Jesus as the Leader gave before us, as the One through whom we have entered the race and who has promised us grace sufficient. He pictures Jesus' loyalty and the Father's faithfulness in highly rewarding Jesus, seating Him at the right hand of the Majesty on High. Then he urges us to run perseveringly and patiently; for only such as attain the character-likeness of their Leader in this narrow way may hope to share His glory. - Komans 8:29.

BENJOLE BRASSIÈRES put the bust back where it belongs, prevent the bust from shifting to the side of fabrics, eliminate the danger of dragging muscles and contine the flesh of the shoulder giving a graceful line to the entire upper body. They are the daintest and most flexible garments imminent for all materials and styles: Cross Back, Hook Front, Surplice, Band-eau, etc. Bond with the skin—permitting clothing without removal. Have you ever shown you Bien Jolie Brassières, if not stocked, we will gladly send him, prepaid, samples to show you. BENJAMIN & JOHNES 51 Warren Street Newark, N.J ```markdown ``` JULIAN C.

Herald Co-Operates with Floral Parade Promoter. Below will be seen a letter, from the Herald which goes to show the publicity our parade is getting in Washington already. Readers of last Sunday's Herald, no doubt, know of the splendid article which this paper wrote on the carnival. Washington, D. C., March 6, 1916. Mr. Chas. L. Skinner, 1420 K St., N. W., Washington, D. C. My Dear Sir: I presume you saw the advance notice of, the floral pageant which was carried in our Sunday Herald. If you will keep us supplied with this data from time to time we will be glad to take care of it for you. MOTOR YARNS. By Owners of Various Makes of Cars. Dick Ware says: "You can't beat the Ford for all around work. When I want to deliver a package I jump in my Ford and do so. When I want pleasure, Mrs. Ware and myself take a nice little spin in our Roadster." Dr. Martin says: "It sure does pay to buy a good car. My Pierce Arrow has not cost me five dollars in two years for repairs. Some holding-up car." Eugene James, the undertaker, says: "All motorists are advised to keep to the right of the road, for there's no telling when he will come up behind you and need to pass, for that Marmon speedster of his is built to be in the lead. Dan Freeman does not believe in trading in cars for a new one. He has had over three years' good service out of his Studebaker and is now going to make a roadster out of it for two more years service. Dr. Curtis says: "When a car takes you to Chicago and back as successfully as my Paige did it's the car to stand by and boast will always be my Paige Detroit." Young Dr. Curtis has an idea that his Reo Roadster can beat his father's Paige, because he says she sure has got the power and get-away quality in her. I want also to say Mr. James had better look out for us when we meet. WHITE PRESS COMMENTS ON OUR FLORAL PARADE.
