Before the meeting was called to order the celebrated Elk's Band of 40 pieces rendered many popular airs. In calling the meeting to order, Judge Hewlett, the presiding officer, called on Rev. Dr. Vaughn who offered a most fervant prayer. The first speaker introduced was Attorney Armond W. Scott who electrified the audience by his eloquence and logic. This distinguished orator discussed National isms and predicted the return of the republican party to power. His speech was full of ginger, which caused the wildest enthusiasm. Judge Arthur B. Hayes was the next speaker. He is one of the most effective and eloquent speakers in the United State. He was listened to with the greatest attention. No man in this country has greater insight or greater knowledge of existing political conditions in this country than Judge Hayes. For thirty-five minutes he REV. W. H. JERNAGIN, Pastor of Mt. Carmel Baptiste Church and One Among the Eloquent Speakers at the Republican Rattification at Grand Army all Tuesday Evening, May 4th. held that vast audience of white and colored republicans spell bound. He is the alternate on the Miller-Chase ticket. Hon. Oliver A. Phelps of Connecticut followed Judge Hayes. This speech dealt with the last democratic platform. Re. Y. H. Jernagin, pastor of Mt. Carolel Baptist Church, one of the largest churches in this city. The church of which he is pastor was formerly attended by President Wilson. Rev. Jernagin is a fine speaker and he paid a high tribute to the ticket and to Messrs. Chase and Miller personally. Robert I. Miller was next introduced. He was greeted with the wildest enthusiasm and applause. W. Calvin Chase followed and the applause that greeted him was loud and deafening: Sumner G. Holmes, of Arlington, Va., the silver tongued orator of the hills, was the next speaker, and highly endorsed the ticket. Attorney Charles S. Williams was next introduced and the scene that was exhibited during the presentation of this speech was one of the most brilliant of the evening. He opened with a religious song, "We Need Your Prayers," which was participated in by the assembly and the Elks' Band. Then he paid his respects to the enemy and concluded by asking for a rising vote for the ticket. By actual count only five persons failed to vote. Dr. Albert R. Collins; the alternate on the ticket, was next introduced, and he was followed by that invincible orator, agitator and ministerial politi- 1910 M. H. ARMOND W. SCOTT, ESQ.

Corrothers, who answered in full the reference made to him in a speech by Frank J. Hogan. Attorney P. W. Frisby was introduced and delivered one of his characteristic speeches which was loudly applauded. The greatest ratification that has ever been held by the republicans, white and colored, was held Tuesday evening at Grand Army Hall. The celebrated Elks' Band of 40 pieces rendered some of the finest musical selections that have ever been rendered by any band in the city. Miss Rachel A. Bell, of the Ft. Stevens Confederation of Colored Women, was introduced and among other REV. SYLVESTER L.

Stevens to bring greeting from her to the Capital. City and United Republican Clubs in behalf of Chase and Miller. Mrs. Thomas walked with Abraham Lincoln, and in her message, Miss Bell stated mother Thomas lost her all in defense of this republic when Ft. Stevens was threatened with invasion by the Southern confederacy. The applause at the conclusion of Miss Bell's address was enthusiastic. She was the only female to occupy a seat upon the stage, while there were several other ladies in the audience. JUDGE: ARTHUR B. HAYES. Judge A. B. Hayes is so well-known here in Washington as to need no particular introduction to the republican voters of the District of Columbia. He has made Washington his home for more than thirteen years past, having come here under appointment by President Roosevelt, as Solicitor of Internal Revenue, which position he held for five years; resigning himself in the practice of the law and has become known as one of the authorities of the country on interstate commerce law. Mr. Hayes has been a life long republican and has done campaign service for that party on the stump through many states of the Union, ever since he was 18 years of age, and it is probable that no man in THE NEW YORK TIMES is in the United States. His speech and United Republican Clubs Tuesa- lauded. W.

June 7th, 1916. Washington outside of present official life has any wider acquaintance than he. It was immediately following the nomination of Mr. Taft four years ago that Mr. Hayes made the notable speech standing on the steps of the old Riggs Hotel to a gathering of 10,000 people assembled to ratify the republican nomination. Mr. Hayes' practice requires his presence in different parts of the country which gives him a splendid opportunity to judge of the political temper of the people and upon returning from a recent professional visit to the middle west and to the New England states, expressed him self as most highly gratified at the wonderful republican sentiments which he found in all sections of the country. W. CALVI The Capital City and United Rep to the National Republican Convention 1916.

Once more Wellington A. Adams, the miracle-man, because of his wonderful rise into popular favor in this city unaided and despite obstacles, a genius, because he makes a success where others fail, a wonderful character because of his indomitable will power, courage, and energy in combating an element of critics, has proven himself a master strategist by winning the public's appropriation and good will through his last lecture and musical held at John Wesley Church, 14th and Corcoran streets, on last Thursday evening, March 3, 1916, where one of the most cultured audiences ever assembled in this city were held spellbound by the magical influence of the speakers and the splendid musical renditions. The program was opened by the M Street Glee Club, with Rosamond Johnson's "Southland," and they could not have received more cordial approval than that manifested by the audience. A cornet solo by Mr. W. Calvin Chase, Jr., accompanied by Miss Beatrice L. Chase, was one of the features of the evening, as tremendous applause greeted the performers at the conclusion of their number. Miss Edna Gordon exhibited a marked degree of dexterity and warmth in her piano selection, which was thoroughly enjoyed and applauded, following which the mixed chorus of M Street High School, Miss Mary Europe, directing, brought down the house with a remarkable choral rendition, which was loudly applauded. Miss Europe, the eminent pianist, presided at the piano with gracefulness. The master of ceremonies, Mr. Adams, next presented the Assistant Superintendent of Schools, R. C. Bruce, and he presented the speaker of the evening, Dr. Hamlin E. Cogswell, director of the Public Schools of the District of Columbia, and said, among other things, that the race should preserve the melodies of their forefathers—that he had a peculiar interest in the musical development of his people, which he hoped they may maintain for the good of the race. Dr. Cogswell, the speaker of the evening, was then presented amid generous applause, addressing on the announced topic, "The Ideal Teacher of Music." Among the many helpful thoughts the speaker advanced were that the time had come when long hair did not any longer prove to be a sign of the real musician; that a teacher should know his profession thoroughly, as well as other subjects foreign to that of music; that a teacher should be patient and exercise judgment with a backward pupil; that "licking" a pupil for poor recital is not a part of the modern teacher's duties, but should find some way to help such pupils make a success of their studies; that a boastful teacher who thinks their method only is right and all others wrong, is not fit for the profession. Dr. Cogswell particularly urged colored musicians to organize and agree not to disagree; that much good may come to them through such an effort. He advised an early effort along this line, because of plans for a great musical festival which shall be held in this city in the near future that is now being launched, which will bring to the city the leading white musicians from all over the country, and that he desired to have colored musicians take some part in this great musical gathering. Loud applause greeted the speaker at the conclusion of his address. In response to his appeal for organized effort. Mr. Adams stated he would call another meeting of colored musicians soon, especially to organize and have him meet with them to assist in organizing, which he kindly consented to do. Thus a determined effort shall be put forth from now on to rally all colored musicians together for the coming great national musical festival. The Glee Club rendered another excellent selection, after which Mr. Adams sung (a) "Selection from Lohegrin" (Wagner); (b) "Jean" (Burleigh) with great depth of feeling. In these two numbers Mr. Adams displayed great artistic ability as a tenor soloist, and held his hearers spellbound, judging by the spontaneous applause which greeted his singing. He is a great interpretive soloist of the first water, with a ringing voice. The exercises were closed with another splendid choral number by the school chorus. This musical affair was promoted by Mr. Adams, assisted by his new club, named the "Music Lover's Club" whose officers are: Robert Porter, President; Miss Annie Jeter, Vice Pres.; Miss Bertha Randall, Secretary; Miss Gertrude Glover, Treasurer; and the following committee who served as ushers; Miss Mary Jackson, head usher; Mrs. H. A. Thompson, Misses Mamie Austin, Lena Taylor, Eva Lacey, Mossrs. Wilbur Dockett and Henry Scott. The ladies were dressed in immaculate, white and presented a beautiful picture. During the speaking the following ladies were seated within the altar railing: Misses Austin, Taylor, Randall and Mr. Porter. Upon the platform-proper were seated, in evening dress, Dr. Hamin E. Cogsell, Prof. Rosco C. Bruce and Prof. Wellington A. Adams. In the choir stand rear of the platform were seated: the school chorus in white and the Glee Club in black, which presented a striking picture of color effect and symmetry in outline. Miss Jeter offered a motion for a standing vote of thanks to the speaker and participants which was seconded by Miss Randall and unanimously carried, all standing. Now that the affair is over, nothing but congratulations, compliments and praises are being showered upon Mr Adams in the success of this affair and rightly so that he deserves the compliment, for who other than this "apostle of good music" in all Washington has shown so much interest in the general musical welfare of the hundred thousand blacks; giving musicals free of charge for the public good at his own expense and personal loss; who, other than this gentleman, has dared face the very critical element of the musical forces in this great city, without a tremor and succeeding in it. Give him credit for his manly-fight and unselfish stand in the interest of the general public, and as well give him the deserved support. IMPORTANT INFORMATION. Prof. J.

If there is one virtue the Editor has, it is the respect he has for virtuous womanhood, and especially those who dare to go where others refuse to go to uplift fallen humanity. The treacherous and venomous snakes who attempt to take advantage of an accident are dangerous to their own breed and menaces to society. The good sense and wisdom of cultured civilization well know that no sane person would be guilty of offering an offense to one whose very name carries with it emblem of virtue and moral character. God is just. He directs the heart of the just, to take a charitable view of conditions and circumstances. It is the evil heart that wants vengeance. The diseased mind has no respect for honor, and under the pretext of protector the sensible mind saw the evil. The day will come when the distorters of the truth will meet their just reward. It has been our teaching never to take advantage of an unfortunate incident or an inadvertent act. Never take advantage or attempt to divert the virtuous mind from the path of right and justice. If we could always see in the future and what is before us, many of us would not plunge in danger. Sometimes it is a physical impossibility to avoid accidents although you use every power God gives you. Scandal-mongers would rather feast upon filth than upon virtue. Virtue and morality are the ingredients that can be found only in a pure body, therefore it will not mix with filth. They believe all they hear, no matter how false it may be. To our loving and grateful friends, to those who are led by the truth and light, accept our everlasting gratitude for your sympathy and counsel. A GOOD RECOMMENDATION. The Commissioners of the District of Columbia have recommended to Congress an increase in pay for the "white wings." This act on the part of the Commissioners is indeed commendable, and the laborers should feel highly clated over this act of the Commissioners. We have three of the best Commissioners that have ever ruled over the destinies of the people. Of course, they can't please everybody. The police department in this city is the cleanest and the best regulated department in the country. There is less scandal and irregularities found in this department than in any other department of its size. While Major Pullman is a young man, he has certainly made good. The colored detectives, The Bee understands, are making good. The only question is, our guardians of peace are not getting enough money. The duties of a police officer are arduous and exacting. This department comes under Commissioner Brownlow who comes from a family of noble birth. The late Wm. P. Brownlow was a republican and a man of the highest integrity. Under the present police administration there are not seen, as in former days, herds of colored prisoners disfigured. Prisoners are more humanely treated. The shifts of police captains from precincts that they held so long to other precincts were at first criticised, but from all indications they have improved the service. COWARDS. It is the coward who strikes in the back: it is the assassin who shoots you in your slumbers, and it is the murderer who sees but one thing to satisfy his greedy appetite. The coward will take undue advantage of your blunders and mistakes; the assassin stealthily comes upon you unawares; the murderer has malice and vengeance in his heart. A slanderer is a brother of the assassin, the murdurer, and the coward. None of these branches to crime can be looked upon with admiration. Not one will excuse a blunder or mistake no matter how innocent the principal. Your enemies will take undue advantage of your accidents, mistakes, or blunders. The assassin laughs when you fall, no matter how much of a benefactor you have been. The Editor of The Bee is too charitable to attempt to injure his fellow-man. If he inadvertently commits a mistake, no matter what the cost is he will make the amends honourable. He is too honorable to take advantage of the errors of his enemies. Treachery is bound to get its just retribution. The time will come when treachery, deception, and demagogery will meet their just reward. Joseph was sold by his brothers for twenty pieces of silver. Some men who shift from one principle to another are modern disciples of so-called Christian acts; men who will desert a principle for filthy lucre are dangerous to society. But why should we weep? Why should we lament when we know that we have committed no intentional wrong? Right is bound to prevail. God is just, and right is bound to prevail. COWARDLY ADVANTAGE. The Editor of. The Bee has never taken advantage of his adversary or rival in journalistic mistakes or accidents. The Bee is charitable as well as magnanimous. It has too much respect for the good name of all citizens, regardless of color or condition. The filthy lucre has influential tendency at times to force the hungry and the greedy to betray or embarrass those for whom it expresses profound friendship. It is the coward who takes the friendly hand of his rival and afterwards stabs him in the back, under the pretext of the public good. There is a day of retribution. There is a day when the unjust shall receive his just reward. The Bee would make any sacrifice to protect the good name of an injured friend. The Bee has never knowingly betrayed the confidence of a public benefactor, and neither would it refuse to correct an error. Some colored people have no regard for their own benefactors, and if they, could crucify them to advance their own selfish purposes they would readily do that. The so-called intelligent and educated colored individual is more vicious than the most illiterate. If every white man's heart was as vicious as some colored individuals, but a few among us would continue to exist. "A man who once did sell the lion's skin while the beast still lived, was killed while hunting him." THE. TICKET RATIFIED. The ratification of the ticket of the Capitol City and United Republican Clubs took place at Grand Army Hall Tuesday evening, April 4. It was a gathering of representative white and colored republicans. The speeches were eloquent, logical, and pointed. They were full of patriotism. It was a return to the old time republican doctrine. The sentiment was unanimous in favor of the Miller and Chase, Hayes, and Collins ticket. The very atmosphere was full of enthusiasm. The few who didn't agree with the sentiment expressed seemed to enjoy the speeches and the fun that was poked at them occasionally by the speakers. Much credit is due the managers of this campaign, Williams and Clark, for their well organized system of managing and organizing the several meetings. JUDGE LOUIS D. BRANDEIS. JUDGE LOUIS D. BRANDEIS. The Senate Judiciary Committee has had under consideration for some time the nomination for the Supreme Court bench of Mr. Louis D. Brandis. This committee has found nothing that would warrant an unfavorable report on his nomination. Mr. Brandis is considered to be one of the ablest and one of the most honorable lawyers in the United States. This lawyer, who has been so much abused, is a man of the highest integrity, and the Senate should confirm him without further question. HARMONY. The republican ratification meeting held last Tuesday evening at Grand Army Hall was the most representative that has ever been for twenty years. The largest number of white republicans participated with their colored fellow-citizens that has ever been seen for a long time. Would white churches permit negro politicians to hold meetings to boost their own candidacy for political honors? Are negro church officers sane or insane? A president who can keep the country out of war is entitled to the plaudits of the American people, no matter what their politics may be. There are lots of people who can advice others how to run a government until they take a hand at it themselves, and then what? Public Printer Ford, from what colored employees tell us, is fair and just toward them. The reappointment of Judge James L. Pugh is looked for most any day. METHODIST CONFERENCE.

Editor of The Bee: I have been asked by many of my friends if I would write an article on "How to Succeed." If you will permit me through the columns of your valuable newspaper I will endeavor to point out as clearly as I can road to success. Health is the most important factor of one's life. Without it life holds out for you neither pleasure nor profit. The man with health and without money may soon acquire it, but the man with money and without health can not keep it. The only person who really enjoys life is the perfectly well one. The person with good health will succeed; there is nothing in this world for the sick and killing; nobody will employ them. The man with health is a success. There are lots of people who save one is in poor health or fairly good health. There is nothing but health, and health is the harmoniously working of every part of the complex organism constituting man. Next after health comes work. If you are sick you are inefficient for work. Love your work; don't work because you have to, but because you love it. Be a master of the line of work you pursue. Don't be a snob; there is no reason for them. A college course is not necessary to success; there are successful men and women who can not read or write. It was practicing Mechano-Therapy twenty years before I knew that there was such a word. I was also familiar with the "Swobodo System" before I ever heard of such a gentleman. I have the latest application of physical education. I can do for others who have done for myself. If anyone would like to know more about my system I will be only too glad to give the desired information. For information write and enclose a 2-cent stamp and address. DR. J. E. OLDEN. 1819 Vermont Ave. N. W. Great Meetings this Week—The Miller-Chase, Hayes and Collins' Ticket Received Unanimously Endorsements. This has been a busy week for the Capital City and United Republican National Convention, assembled in Mosee' Hall in Berry Place and unanimously endorsed the tickets. The speakers were, Robert I. Miller, W. Calvin Chase, C. S. Williams, Harry Clark and others. The candidates boarded their automobiles and arrived at Deanwood where several hundred voters including many ladies awaited their arrival. Rev. De Vaugh made a strong speech for the ticket. Rev. Corrothers carried the house by storm in his reply to the attack of the other ticket. The address was enthusiastically applauded. Messrs. Robert I. Miller, W. Calvin Chase, C. S. Williams and Dr. Summer G. Holmes, the prince of Arlington, delivered speeches. The ticket was unanimously endorsed without a single exception. Only one vote was cast against the ticket and five not voting. There 300 voters present at the Masonic Temple in Eighteenth street Wednesday night which covered 5th, 6th, and 7th districts and no doubt the largest meeting that has been held in that section. The ticket was indorsed. The speeches were red hot. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON CONTEST. The essay contest closed last Wednesday, the 29th, at 8 p. m., and there were quite a number of participants for the three prizes. The winners of the prizes were Zenobia Bundy, 8th grade Jones School, Miss Eva Chase teacher, 1st prize; Mabel Hunter, 7th grade Sumner School, Miss Fletcher teacher, 2nd prize, and Kermet Triggs, 7th grade Garrison School, Miss Perry teacher, 3rd prize. The Booker T. Washington Essay Contest judges: Messrs. Rucker, Monroe and Lewis, announced the winners, and the Rev. A. C. Garner of the Plymouth Church awarded the prizes. The speakers at the exercises were Dr. W. Bruce Evans, Judge Terrell, Rev. A. C. Garner and Mr. Chas. L. Skinner, in which all gave the children good advice and spoke well of Booker T. Washington. The members of the M Street High School Glee Club rendered some of Booker T. Washington's famous folk songs, and Miss Alberta Williams of Metropolitan A. M. E. Church sang a solo which was very much applauded. COMMISSIONERS ASK RAISE FOR SWEEPERS. Increase for "White Wings" Recommended in Report Sent to Congress. Hope for increased wages for the "white wings" is held out by the Commissioners in a report sent to Congress recently on the Lobek bill "to establish th pay of certain employees of the Street Cleaning division, Engineer Department." The Commissioners say that in their annual estimates for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1917, they have recommended an increased sum in the appropriation for sweeping and cleaning streets, which if authorized will permit of the increase in wages of laborers in the street cleaning division from $1.50 to $1.75 a day and of drivers from $1.75 to $2.00. The total appropriation for the Street Cleaning Department, as requested, amounts to $322,000. If the Lobeck bill, which provides for a minimum daily-wage of $2 in the street cleaning division is passed, it would mean they say, that the appropriation would have to be increased to $353,000 or the amount of work and number of employees decreased about 21 per cent. J. According to reports from Atlantic City, the Lenten season crowds are swamping the smaller hotels which are filled to the uttermost capacity. The start of the season appears as a forerunner to a record-breaking Easter. Among the larger hotels to open recently are the Grand Atlantic, the Whittier, Shoreham, Dixie and Arlington. The Traymore has been in the lead for social functions thus far. Reservations are coming in for weeks ahead in most of the houses. Washington hotels in the past week have been filled with spring tourists and students on vacations, and several week-end excursions. The New Ebbitt, National, Metropolitan, Continental and several other houses are planning for many large, banquets that are to be pulled off soon. At the present time the city is filled with race horse people. And the hotel managers are looking for hundreds of women in the city by the fourteenth of April at which time the The Daughters of American Revolution will hold their annual session. Washington is in the lead as a spring resort and recognized by hotel publicans all over the country. Robert T. Regan, formerly of the New Ebbitt, has succeeded Captain Julus Sinsheimer of the ladies' dining room at the Army and Navy Club of this city. [Image of a man in a suit with a tie, facing slightly to the right. The background is black with a grainy texture. The man's face is clearly visible, with a serious expression.

Free from prejudice, a reformer and an enemy to interference. The people, regardless of color, religious or political creed, appeal to President Wilson to reappoint him as judge of the Police Court. An attempt is being made to establish and erect a very fine modern apartment hotel in the city of Washington for colored patrons. We are sincerely glad to see that our leading citizens are being awakened to this great necessity. The men at the head of the movement are men of prominence and integrity, which is the prime basis of success in any movement or business. The outlook for the Douglass Hotel Company is very bright. This has been advocated by The Bee for years. fact we've got a three-ring affair been pulled off right here at home, all the statesmen and near-statesmen, and prophets and sons of prophets, have their eyes glued, towards Ohio watchin' the fight Ralph Tyler is put in' up out there for delegate-at-large. And a lot of studies-in-black around here who used to use up their vacations knockin' that Ohio bundle of nerves, when he was here workin' for their good, are now really admirin' the nerve of the fellow jumpin' in our there in that queer state of Ohio, ar J. W. Carney, of the Crystal Room at the New Ebbitt, has been called to his home in Suffolk, Va., on account of the death of his mother. Mr. Carney is without doubt a very excellent young man. The news of his mother's death came as a shock last Saturday, to him and the entire crew at the New Ebbitt. The head walters of the Cosmos and Commercial Clubs of this city will be some of the speakers at the Head Walters' Association meeting next Wednesday afternoon, April 12, at his residence of Mr. John Mayo, 1453 Q. street northwest. All head waiters and captains are invited to attend. Richard H. Fisher the well-known private waiter at the Portland Hotel at Thomas Circle, has been absent from duty on account of illness for several days. Geo. Sembly, the new clocker at Bowie race track, has been ill resulting from exposure at the track watching the ponies exercise. Mr. Jordan of the New Richmond Hotel has recently made a change in his dining room and appointed a new head waiter from the Waldorf, New York City. He is without doubt one hotel proprietor and manager who has found that the dining room problem is no cinch. HEAD WAITERS ASSOCIATION. An attempt is being made by Capt. John Mayp, of the Ebbbt House, to unite colored head waiters and captains into an organization, both social and beneficial—to the Side Waiters. At a meeting last week which was very largely attended Mr. Mayo received the promis of co-operation, some of the leading head waiters of shrimp. There is a meeting scheduled for next week, April 12, 1916. All are invited to attend from 3 to 5 o'clock. JOHN MAYO, 1453 Q St. N. W. All headwaiters unable to attend, notify R. DeReef Miller, Ebbtill House. TRUTHEUL ADVERTISING. TRUTHFUL ATTENTION is called to a rumor circulated that The Bee would not give the prizes stated in advertising the Booker T. Washington Essay Contest, which were five dollars, two dollars, and fifty cents, and one dollar. The Bee not only awarded the above mentioned prizes to the children stated as winners, but even went so far as to carry one prize to a winner who was not at the exercises. This only goes to show that it's advertisements were just as it claimed sometime ago of a strictly truthful and dependable nature. So what The Bee says, it is HOTEL DALE. Cape May, N. J.-The Hotel Dale, the greatest summer resort at Cape May, colored citizens, will have its annual opening Saturday. April 22. Requests for literature, rates, etc. will receive prompt attention by addressing the management at Cape May City, New Jersey. E. W. Dale, owner and manager. PUBLIC MEN AND THINGS PUBLIC MEN AND THINGS (By the Sage of the Potomac.) It's funny, but it's true, folks around here aint got Rosco, the famous Harvard class orator, to think about, cause there is so much politics in the air, and so many political men holdin' meetings and figurin' on who's who in the delegate contest they has just naturally overlooked the favorite subject of gossip around these diggin' the schools. And speakin' about this delegate contest, don't you know folks around here, in spite of the fact we've got a three-ring affair being pulled off right here at home, all the statesmen and near-statesmen, and prophets and sons of prophets, have their eyes glued towards Ohio a watchin' the fight Ralph Tyler is putin' up out there for delegate-at-large. And a lot of studies-in-black around here who used to use up their vacations knockin' that Ohio bundle of nerves, when he was here workin' for their good, are now really adminir' the nerve of the fellow jumpin' in out there in that queer state of Ohio, and makin' a fight for race representation. Accordin' to the news what's floated eastwards, it appears that this scrapy son of Ham has developed so much strength that the Governor, and his whole administration has just centered the fight on Tyler. Course the odds is agin him, and while every study-in-black here is pullin' for him to win, they recognize if he does lose he sure has set some pace, and done these Hamites north of that dead line—Mason and Dixon—a world of good. But when a coffee-colored in'l'ual commands, the support of big whi' dailies like Tyler is commandin' out in that state what is the "Mother of Presidents," you just naturally got to take off your hat to him, and declare he sure is some live subject. If he wins, it will be the biggest political victory won by this oxadized race for fifty long dark days. Everybody around here is just got their eyes set on Onlo, not a watchin' Bachelor Burton's sprint in the presidential race, but a watchin' that "Moca and Java" complexioned bundle of nerves who use to sit on the lid in the Auditor for the Navy's office here, and help Hamites to get promotions. Hope he wins, I do. Now discussin' this here hustlin' for delegates reminds me that things is gettin' allfired het up around here. Bull Mooser Williston is makin' a noise like he is in to win, but take it from me, when the votes are counted he will wonder who handcapped him by hanin' the 'ton' on Williston. I overheard one of his lieutenants re-mark Sunday that he wished the Doctor had stayed out of the race, cause it looked now as if his little pair of jacks hooked up with three seven spots would lose the jackpot to your Uncle Willum who is a lavin' back with four beautiful aces what he got in the draw. I hate to see a follow, ordinarily tolerable, as Doc Williston is, get in a free-for-all like this contest, but his friends advised him to stay out, but he just naturally thought bein' a rip-nortin' good Bull Mooser what bolted the ticket in 1912 the people ought to cry for him now, as a delegate, just as babies cry for Castoria. The people are crin' for him, but it's a cry of pity that he is so blind he don't know he's up again a sure thing game, and you know, accordin' to Hoyle, you can't bet on a sure thing. Hoyle tells you that there must be a chance to lose and a chance to win afore any bettin' can go on. Now Doc. Williston just simply aint got no chance to win. Chase told me so, and Bill ought to know cause he's been in these kind of fights so many times he knows the rules just as they is writtin', and he knows just how to dope out the result a month before the race is started. If you don't believe that Chase told me Doc. Williston can't win, go and ask him yourself. I asked Tom Clarke, the world-famous war strategist, what was Doc. Williston's chance, and started in to illustrate by citin' the fact that the French, though caught unprepared at the beginnin' of the war, was now in such shape that they could hold the Saurkrauts away from Verdun fairly well. He said that if this contest could be prolonged until the middle of August, when everybody is away from Washington, he thought Doc, could win a walk. But the darn contest can't be prolonged, it just has to be finished this month, and in the finish, my old esteemed friend Doc. Williston will be likewise finished. Vote the Miller and Chase ticket. It is the ticket for for loyal republicans to support.

Beckett gave a short lecture. Scoutmaster A. L. Hill demonstrated how a fire started by rubbing sticks together. All members and men wishing to become Scoutmasters are invited to attend. Scoutmaster N. F. Henry with scouts from Troop No. 501 attended the meeting of the Anacostia troop on Monday evening. Mr. Edward Brooks is their Scoutmaster. The meeting was well attended. Someone is representing himself as being authorized to collect funds for the Boy.Scouts. Do not be misled. We are not asking for funds at present, and will not without giving the public due notice. A good scout knows how to give first aid when an emergency arises, and in order to have the best results follow his treatment, must know how to apply a bandage effectively. Indeed, as scouts do not attempt to replace the doctor, but only to help his work by giving what treatment is necessary before he arrives, it is often only a question of good bandaging to prepare a case for the doctor's attention. Sattlerce House Troops expect to take their first spring hike on Saturday, April 8th. The Troop at Mt. Zion Church is getting on fine. Their Scoutmaster, Mr. Hawkins, has been indisposed but is able to be out again.

Barry wrote of a colored girl that, because of her red hair and coarse features, was teased by other children. When she was old enough she began fighting the children and was twice arrested; each time the judge sentencing her to serve time. When she was seventeen she ran away from the reform school and married. She was again arrested for stabbing a man. The judge told her this time that he had, twice before, tried to teach her lesson, and had failed, but that he would fix her this time. A lady who had been talking to the girl, stepped in to the judge's house and had a chance to be good, and that if he would put her in her care she would be responsible for her actions. The judge consented and in less than six months' time the unfortunate girl conducted herself in such a way as to command the respect of all with whom she came in contact. THE WILLIAMS' SINGERS Every seat and standing room in the M. Carmel Baptist Church was taken last Monday night on the occasion of the Williams Singers' Concert.

THE JONES SCHOOL At a recent business meeting of the Original Home- and School Association, the establishment and operation of a fund to supply indigent children of the Jones School with shoes and indigent graduates now pursuing high school courses, with books, and the purchase of a victoria were the outstanding features. The association realizes that many worthy pupils drop out of school because of their inability to obtain the absolute necessities. In the purchase of the victoria it is desired to create a taste for and an appreciation of good music and to bring the students of the school in touch with the world's best artists. In order to build up a strong and permanent organization the association agreed to create a fund for the compensation of a business manager, secretary, and an athletic coach. The remainder of the evening was pleasantly spent with demonstrations of the Victor Victrola, with its attendant educational possibilities by Mr. L. C. Brennman of the Educational Department of the Victor Company. Dr. A. A. Russell, president of the association, presided. "THE BIRTH OF A NATION." There will be a mass meeting at Rev. M. W. D.

President I Copyright, 1915, by American Press sociation "He invited me to go fishing with him to Long Branch on Sunday." "Oh, I think Helen will expect us to dinner!" "By George! I never thought of that. All right. I won't go, then." There was relief in May Strickland's manner as she said: "No, don't. Besides, I dislike the idea of your being out in a boat." "All right, I'll telephone Jerry in the morning." It was bedtime now for Doris. In the manner of all children, she begged hard for "just five minutes more with daddy, please," but both daddy and mother were obdurate, insisting that a "little girl should have been in bed hours ago." After kissing them both good night Doris trotted off to bed, not, however, until Strickland had asked her to hang up his vest for him. She took her new treasure, Herman, with her, and her parting words were, "Leave the door open." Husband and wife were alone together for the first time since his homecoming. "Oh, Robert," said May, "I've read your letter a dozen times. I feel as though I knew every nook and corner of the house. I'm so anxious to go." "We'll be there soon," said Strick- land. "As soon as we can get ready; gay two weeks." "Oh, aslong as that?" "Well, ten days if you like." "Let's go next week," said May ea- gerly. "I have grown to detest New York." "But we've waited so long; a few days more or less"— "That's just it. We've waited so long that it's gotten on my nerves." CHAPTER X. "What Took You to Long Branch?" TRICKLAND looked, at her with anxiety. S "Aren't you well, dear? Doris said you weren't feeling well today." May forced a little laugh. "That child gets such queer notions in her little head. I was a trifle excited about your homecoming; that was all. It is the first time we've been separated." "Yes, and the last, let us hope." The words were spoken with the emphasis of a lover. "We'll go next week then?" asked May. "Why, it's scarcely time. There'll be some things to buy." "We can get almost everything we need when we arrive." "Still, there are always odds and ends when you're breaking up house-keeping." "That won't take long—a day or two." "You'll need a travelling dress." "I'll buy one ready made," said May. "I know you've been looking already. Doris said you were shopping yesterday," said Strickland. So Doris, thought May, has been telling her daddy already some of the things which she was directed not to reveal. How much more had the child told? But May disclosed nothing of her agitation to her husband as she replied: "Yes; I was looking for a traveling dress, but I wouldn't get anything to suit me." Strickland rose from his chair and went over to the table on which Doris had deposited the travelling bag. "Wait a minute," he said. "I've been doing a little shopping myself." And he took from the bag a package which he handed to his wife. "For me?" said May. "Yes." The gift pleased the woman, but in her mind was still uppermost the desire to get away from New York. "Oh, Robert, I'll be so glad to get away, I'll start packing tomorrow." Here entered into the lives of Robert and May Strickland and of their child Doris and of Joan and Gerald Trask and of their children and of Stanley Glover and of others a person of whom none of them knew up to that moment. He was a humble instrument of Providence, a man of lowly station. He did not know that he was to play a part in a mighty tragedy. Yet his intervention, to play the part of the fates such as was assigned to those mystic women by the ancient Greek tragedians, warped the courses of the earthly lives of many persons. His coming into the existences of the Stricklands was announced by the maid Bertha, who entered and said: "There's a Mr. Burke here to see you, Mrs. Strickland." Strickland turned to May: "Who's Mr. Burke?" "Why, I don't know." "Tell him to come in, Bertha," said Strickland. There entered into the room a man of medium height, stockily built, with an honest, open countenance which testified plainly to his Irish extraction. He was dressed very obviously in his "Sunday suit," and he seemed not quite at ease in the finery. But the coat and trousers were dusty and bore a few cinders, telling the careful observ- pt Store Gents Furnishings 14 N.W. ARTMENT STORE Set N.

Few people know how black people became of that color. The following shows how it happened: About six colored nurses with their charges were in the pavilion at the entrance to the Zoo. They were were chattering merrily about, their Mistress' instructions, and the way that they were to take care of their precious burdens trusted to their hands. Presently one little girl came up to her nurse and said: "Give me my cup. I want some water." "No," said the nurse, "you must not drink so much water." The child replied: "My mother said that I may drink all the water I want." "I am not your mother," said the nurse. This made the other nurses titter and laugh heartily. "No," said one of them, "you are not her mother because you are black and her mother is white." "Well if I am black, I will be white one day. When I was little I kept sitting in the sun for many years and that is the way I became black. This "Why, I"— "Did you know?" "Yes. I missed it last night." "But why did you pretend you didn't --- All Goods Delivered Phone North 4926 Real Values --- er that me had recently traveled in a railroad train. His first remark was addressed to May: "Are you Mrs. Robert Strickland, mum?" "Yes." "I don't like to bother you, mum"—"Sit down, Mr. Burke," said Strickland, indicating the sofa.9 "Thank you, sir. I found a purse that belongs to you, mum, I think." If Strickland's face had been turned at that moment toward his wife instead of to the stranger in his home, he could not have failed to note the agitation in her face and manner. It was with a tremendous effort that she calmed herself and said to her husband: "Robert, dear, your dinner will be ready now; you'd better go in before it gets cold." "I can wait a few minutes," said Robert. "Perhaps Mr. Burke will excuse you." she persisted. "I'll only take a minute, mum," said Burke. "I've come all the way from Long Branch." "Have you lost a purse, May?" asked Strickland. May fried to speak without concern. "Why, no! I don't think so." "Are you sure, mum?" asked Burke. "Positive," she replied. "Where did you find the purse, Mr. Burke?" asked Strickland. "On the platform of a railroad station at Long Branch last night. I'm the news agent there." "Long Branch? Then it can't be yours, May?" said Strickland. "Certainly not. Mr. Burke has evidently made a mistake." The woman's positive note brought a questioning look to the face of Burke. He answered: "There are a half a dozen cards in it, with Mrs. Strickland's name and address on them." Strickland looked curiously at his wife. "That seems strange," he said. "Perhaps one of my friends"—she began, but she could not finish the sentence. Strickland turned again to Burke. "What kind of a purse is it, Mr. Burke?" But. Burke was now more fully aroused to the situation. After all, perhaps the purse found by him did not belong to the woman before him, whose name it contained. In that case, of course, his journey from Long Branch, prompted by his innate hon- "Oh, mamma," cried the child, "you found your purse, didn't you?" "But you must sleep, dear. There's a good little girl," said the mother, leading her gently back into the bedroom. The door of the child's room was not closed. May returned to the library just as her husband reentered. He put the purse on the table. "It's strange you didn't know you lost your purse," he said. "You almost drove the man away. What made you so insistent?" "I didn't want you to think I'd been careless." There was surprise in Strickland's tone as he answered: "Oh, then you knew, you'd lost your purse?" Open from 7 to 10 Daily Sundays until 1 P.M. Honest Prices know?" "I thought you'd be angry if you knew I'd lost the purse. It was careless of me to lose it." "But, my dear girl"— "I just didn't want to worry you." Strickland laughed. "Well, I wouldn't be likely to worry about a recovered purse, would I? But how did the purse get to Long Branch? You weren't there yesterday." It seemed that Strickland expected a reply to this remark, although it was not put in the form of a query. Therefore when May remained silent he made the question more direct. "Were you?" The admission was made in a low voice—"Yes." "But you said before that you'd been shopping." "That was on account of Doris." "On account of Doris." STAND TOGETHER AGAINST WORLD, PLEA OF SPEAKER. Louisville Negro Orator Addresses a Long Audience at Donville. Large Audience at Danville. Danville, Ky., March 27.—Before one of the largest audiences that ever greeted a speaker in this section, Roscoe C. Simmonds, noted negro orator, of Louisville, spoke here Sunday. Almost one-third of the audience was composed of white people, led by Mayor J. M. Wallace. Making a plea for "white and black Americans to stand side by side against the world," the speaker's eloquence moved the audience to repeated demonstrations. "God placed us here," he said, "to be friends and not foes; to hope and pray and toil together, and together to make this continent the home of the only true republic history ever saw. We were friends in slavery, friends in war, and we are friends in peace. And when the braggart comes to assault the flag that floats above us all, my people will stand with the white man until the last foe has been driven to his grave." "The negro has a hard time," he said at one time, with that catching humor, "but he has a better time here than anywhere else in the world." "Judge me," he said, "judge me and mine by my best, not by my worst. Gaze upon the canvas of Tanner's masterpiece; listen to the harp, of Dunbar; follow the philosophy and catch that golden phrase from the lips of Douglass. Come on off Walnut street; I don't live there." No speech has ever did more good in this section, and is would be hard to get a place big enough to hold an audience if Col. Simmons should come here again. HOW SHE CAME TO BE BLACK. By Miller. TRIANGLE PRINTING CO. House & Herrmann of all kinds and description, House and Herrmann is the place to visit.

If by chance you haven't seen it, I'll explain it right to you, And you'll see humiliation After I have gotten through; Negroes just like all the others Must pay for a first-class seat, But on entering in the coaches, Here is just what they will meet. On arriving in the coaches, Here their pride is given a jar, For they're forced to take their passage In a made over box-car, And the air is saturated, All the friends of truth affirms, With the semoke, from white men smoking, And with deadly kinds of germs. It's a practice of the white man When he wants to curse or mar, Hurry out from 'mong the ladies, Go to where the negroes are; Let it be at noon or night-time, He can do just what he please; And with deadly kinds of germs. Negroes must sit at his head While he swears with perfect ease. Conductors they laugh with pleasure. And this cruelty entertain; They uphold the white man's actions, And dare negroes to complain; They will knock and beat the negroes, Put him off in snow or rain. If they least suspect resistance, They can never feel the pain. It's the white man's lounging parlor, Among the highest of our race; They despise the negro manhood, It's a hideous disgrace; Whether he's a poor or rich man, Negroes must bow to his might. While he's constantly carousing, Just because he has the right. "Keep the nigger in the background. Never let him go too far." Is the motto of the southland In the Negro Jim-crow car; "It won't do to have equality, Practice discrimination instead. There's but one good way to rule 'em, Keep your foot right on his head." This is called a land of freedom, But I say in name of all. Men in veils of barbarism Can not even lower my self. So I tell you keep on praying. Because your prayers are not in vain. For when Gabriel blows his trumpet Truth that's crushed will rise again. —I. Gustavus R. Ford. NOTES ON RACIAL PROGRESS. Compiled by the National Negro Business League.

The Nashville Trade Boosters of Nashville, Tennessee, are making elaborate preparations for their spring Trade Week Campaign in the interest of negro business enterprises. The campaign is to be conducted during the week of May 1. In accordance with the suggestion offered in Business League Talk No. 3, entitled "Co-operative Competition," the colored business men of Pensacola, Florida, have organized a Merchants' Association, in connection with the League work, for the purpose of regulating credits, and extending their business among colored people. Already they have adopted the system of giving prize coupons for increasing patronage. A Merchants' Association has also been organized by the colored business men of Durham, North Carolina. A movement has been started in Augusta, Georgia, for the purpose of organizing a Local Negro Business League. Mr. E. G. Spaulding, Branch Manager of the North Carolina Mutual Association of Durham, North Carolina, is taking the leading part. Hon. Nat Washer, a prominent white business man of San Antonio, Texas, was the principal speaker at the mass meeting held in that city on March 28th by the San Antonio Local Negro Business League. Mr. Washer's remarks dealt with Business Development. The St. Luke Hospital of Columbia, South Carolina, of which Dr. Matilda Evans is owner and chief physician, has been compelled to move into a larger building recently purchased. Dr. Evans gives employment to more than a dozen young, men and women of the race. The Nashville Negro Board of Trade, of which Mr. A. N. Johnson is the president, has been designated by the city authorities' and the white Commercial Club as the organization to distribute supplies and funds to the colored people who were rendered homeless following the disastrous fire in that city a short while ago. The Nashville Globe has donated paid-up subscriptions to all of its subscribers who were fire sufferers. At the 1st meeting of the National Negro Press Association, the members of this organization endorsed the campaign for the Booker T. Washington Memorial Fund, and pledged their support to those who are in charge of the campaign among the colored people. J. O. VERMILLION THE FAMILY LIQUOR STORE Fineza, $1.00 Qt.

W. Gird St., near Broadway, this evening. His text was, "For whom He did, foreknow He also did predicate to be con- formed to the image, of His Son, that. He might be the 'First-born among many brethren.'—Romans 8:29. be first born among many brethren."—Romans 8:29 The Pastor began by showing that God has had a special purpose in everything which He has made, and has in view a blessing for all His creatures. Jehovah is a great Architect, whose plans and specifications were all drawn up before our earth came into existence. He has not been working in a haplu hazard manner, doubtful of the outcome of His purposes, as once we supposed in our ignorance and blindness. Many of us once thought that the Devil had come into competition with the Almighty, and was so opposing His plans that God did not know just what to do, but tried one plan after another. We supposed that somehow God would finally get His few children out of Satan's clutches; but that all the rest of mankind would be tortured eternally in a place which we called Hell. All Bible students now see that such ideals are very crude and confused, especially in the light of the Scripture which says that God had foreknown all things from the foundation of the world. We are thankful indeed that this darkness is scattered; and that we can now see why God has permitted evil, and that He will ultimately overrule all things for the good of both Church and world.—Acts 15:18; Ephesians 1:3:6; Isaiah 55:1-8. Second Adam and Eve, and Their Work. Then the speaker briefly outlined the Divine Plan. God predetermined first the creation of angels of various ranks and then the creation of man; and all this through the Logos, our Lord Jesus Christ in His pre-existent state, as the Father's Agent. (John 1:13.) God foreknew that man would fall into slum. He knew that at the proper time He would send the Logos. His well-beloved Son; to redeem man. He also foreknew that He would issue a special Call for a Church class to be associated with our Lord as His Bride, for the judging, instructing and restoring of the Adamic race. Thus the Bible presents a beautiful picture—a Second Adam, our Lord Jesus in His highly exalted condition, the reward of His obedience unto death; and a Second Eve, the glorified Church. These are to be the new Father and Mother of the race. As the mother nourishes the life generated by the father, so the glorified Church will care for and nourish the human family, who will then be regenerated, re-created, by our Lord Jesus Christ Step by step the Bride of the Lamb will raise the ransomed and redeemed race to human perfection—whosoever will—1 Corinthians 15:21-22, 45-47, John 5:28, 29: Revelation 22:17. The Bible Prodestination. At one time the word predestination was supposed to signify that God had elected the Church to glory and the remainder of mankind to eternal misery. A careful examination of the subject reveals no such thought in the Bible. Our text clearly states that God has predestinated that the Church be individually conformed to the image of His dear Son—become character-likenesses of our Lord. No one will be a member of the glorified Church who does not reach this standard. Before the foundation of the world God foreknew the Church class one hundred and forty-four thousand in number, predestined to be character-likenesses of His Son. To attain this standard requires time. Our Lord Jesus Himself had to demonstrate His loyalty to the Father; and so must the Church class. In their case, however, this loyalty is demonstrated in their wills, their minds, their hearts, and manifested in their works to the best of their ability; for their bodies being more or less weakened by the hereditary taint of sin, they cannot do perfectly, as did our Lord. But their unavoidable imperfections of flesh are covered by the merit of the Savior. In order to develop this character TRIALS are necessary. These may be summed up under two heads: faith and loyalty. Faith in our Lord Jesus is one of the great tests—not merely a belief that He was the Son of God, but something very different. Faith in God's promises and providences is essential. Loyalty to God means loyalty to the principles of righteousness. It goes beyond the Golden Rule and on to love of God, of the breadth of the world and even of our enemies. Acts 9:32-43-April 9 St. Peter's Preaching Tour—Visiting the Saints—A Term Much Misunderstood—A Paralytic Healed at Lydda. St. Peter Called to Joppa—Dorcas Awakened From the Sleep of Death. In all things showing itself an example of good work. "Titus 27." ROM today's Study we learn that although the Apostles made Jerusalem their headquarters, nevertheless they went bither and thither throughout Judea, visiting the little congregations of Christians. In one of his tours St. Peter came to Lydda, a city ten miles southeast of Joppa. There he visited "the saints." The word "saints" signifies holy ones, those set apart, sanctified believers in Christ. There is much opposition to the use of this word today, attributable, we believe, to two reasons. One of these is the fact that the vast majority of professing Christians know that they are not sanctified, not living as near to the Lord as they could live, not separate, even in heart, from the world, the flesh and the Devil. Another reason is that dur- of these is the fact that the vast majority of professing Christians know that they are not sanctified, not living as near to the Lord as they could live, not separate, even in heart, from the world, the flesh and the Devil. Another reason is that during the Dark Ages it became customary for the Roman and Greek Catholic churches to "canonize," or legally set apart as objects of reverence, certain persons respecting whom, after the lapse of several centuries, nothing especially evil was remembered, but only things esteemed praiseworthy. A third reason why some dislike the term "saints" is that they consider it to be rather bonust, even hypocritical. Having lost sight of the doctrine of justification by faith in its proper application, they have become accustomed to think of all Christians as miserable sinners. "This they, overlook the fact that there are some in whom "the righteousness of the Law is fulfilled" because they walk, not after the flesh, but after the Spirit, and the merit of Christ covers all their unwilling shortcomings." - Romans 8:1-4. God's people, however, should remember that almost all of the Epistles of the New Testament are addressed "to the salants"; and that those who cannot properly apply to themselves this term, which is authorized by Apostolic usage; cannot properly apply to themselves the promises contained in those Epistles. Let it be borne in mind that the word "salant" does not signify actual perfection merely, as in our Lord's case, but also applies to those who are reckoned holy through Him. Two Notable Miracles. The healing of Jeneas, the paralytic, was a very notable evidence of the power of the Lord, very similar to the healing at the Beautiful Gate of the Temple. Here, as always, St. Peter made sure that none should think that the power exercised was his own. He distinctly affirmed that Jesus the Messiah, whom their rulers had crucified, had performed the cure and therefore was not dead, but risen. The game of the miracle spread abroad and resulted, we are told, in the drawing of many to the Lord. Thus did the Lord establish the Church and attract to it those who were in the right heart attitude, using miracles then, as He now uses other means. As already pointed out, those miracles ceased with the death of the Apostles and those upon whom they laid hands. The Twelve had no successors-St. Paul taking the place of Judas. The Heavenly Jerusalem had twelve foundations—no more—and in these were written the names of the Twelve Apostles—no others.—Revelation 21:14. One of the saints at Joppa, was apparently a woman of means and education. If her name described her appearance, she was very beautiful; for Tabitha in the Syriac, Doreas in the Greek, implies grace and beauty. But whatever she possessed of these qualities naturally, she was named for the beauty of a meek and quiet spirit, full of love and helpfulness. She served the Lord. Ils Brethren, and all others In the Syriac, Dorcas in the Greek, implies grace and beauty. But whatever she possessed of these qualities naturally, she was named for the beauty of a meek and quiet spirit, full of love and helpfulness. She served the Lord, Ils Brethren, and all others who needed assistance, according to the best opportunities afforded her. Especially did she help poor widows, a class who at that time were often in a very trying position. Under these circumstances it is not strange that her death produced great sorrow, especially amongst the beneficiaries of her charities, and amongst the numerous friends which a beautiful Christ-like spirit of this kind is sure to make. Apparently she died suddenly, about the time that others of the saints at Jobpa heard of the cure which St. Peter had performed at Lydda. At once they sent for him, probably with no thought that he would bring Doreas back to life, but that he could give them some consolation. The bringing of Doreas back from the portals of death was St. Peter's most notable miracle. Like that at Lydda, it was peculiar to that time and for the special purpose of establishing the Church. We are not to suppose, however, that the Lord purposes to snatch back from death all of His people, or that all should have powers of healing such as St. Peter exercised.
