Prince George's Co., Md., Candidate for Delegate to the National Republican Convention—The Republicans, Regardless of Color, Will Support a Simon-Pure and Loyal Republican, Who Has Always Stood Firm Under All Conditions and Circumstances for the Grand Old Party. Mr. Jeremiah Hawkins, of Brentwood, Md., a candidate for delegate to the Republican National Convention at Chicago, Ill., June 7, 1916, is a strong Republican. He was born in Prince George's County, Md., and entered the political arena in the State about 36 years ago. He has always worked for the best interest of the party. In the days of the late Hon. Sidney E. Mudd, Sr., Mr. Hawkins was one of his right hand men, and always made what was known as Mr. Mudd's maiden speech of the campaign. Mr. Hawkins appears now to the voters of the state and county to support ex-Gov. Goldsborough for the U. S. Senate, and in turn Gov. Goldsborough and his friends will support Mr. Hawkins for delegate to the National Convention. The colored voters of the 5th Maryland district should rally to the support of this great man, and send him to the National Convention, as this is the first chance a colored man has ever had or has ever been offered the support of his white constituents and voters to send as a delegate to the Republican National Convention a colored man from southern Maryland or the State, except Hon. Harry S. Cummings of Baltimore City. Therefore all colored voters should rally to his support. Mr. Hawkins is now conducting a large dairy business in Baltimore, "THE BIRTH OF A NATION." The Bee is indebted to Mr. Miller for the report on "The Birth of a Nation." His letter appear in The Bee this week, which was made at the special request of The Bee. Mr. Miller is a white man with scholarly attainments, who possesses a thorough knowledge of public affairs. He takes exceptions to two scenes in "The Birth of a Nation," which he says that history doesn't substantiate. There is nothing in the annals of American history where it can be shown that a colored man, no matter how brutal he was, that a white woman was persued and to save her honor she had to jump from a precipice into the river to save herself. The next scene is when a white woman calls on Governor Lynch, a colored man, and she is detained in his office and proposal of marriage is made to her; and some kind of a take performance of marriage takes place. Any white person with a grain of sense knows that such acts as are being portrayed in this photo play. Every intelligent white student of history knows that no colored man was ever guilty of the acts this photo play portrays. No colored American, even in slavery, was guilty of any wrong doing. He thought too much of his white mistress, and after reconstruction, he was too afraid of the law to have committed acts of brutality against the helpless white women in the south. These two scenes in this photo play are brutal and outrageous attacks on the colored race. There never was a colored office holder under a republican administration guilty of acts pictured in this photo play. With these two exceptions, The Bee representative states that "The Birth of a Nation" is a masterpiece. Whatever effect this picture has had ITERRA JOHN HAWKINS Candidate for delegate to the National Republican Convention which is to convene in the city of Chicago, Wednesday, June 17th, 1916. upon the intelligent white people in this city, it can be truthfully stated that the charges against the colored Americans are false and malicious. offices at 639 F street northwest, care the President; Mr. Shelby J.

Moses Dade, who has a large following in the city; predicts the election of the Chase-Miller ticket by a great plurality from five to eight thousand. James O.

BOY SCOUTS The Boy Scout Movement among colored people of the District of Columbia has attracted so many boys in the past few months that we find ourselves in need of financial assistance. We have 150 colored boy scouts registered in charge of scoutmasters, and almost as many more are preparing to applying for registration in a short while. We will hold a "Tag Day" on Monday, May 1, 1916, with the hope of raising $500, which sum will enable us to care for our present number and to promote the movement generally for one year. There are no salaried officials. The good men who are giving their time and labor to this cause feel that they are being amply paid when the public shows its appreciation for their efforts.

During the year 1915, one person in every 12 in the New York State 10,000,000 was convicted of some sort of lawbreaking, according to the annual report on criminal statistics. If the Boy Scout Movement was given more consideration, we are certain that this figure would be greatly reduced. Troop No. 505 meets on Thursday evening of each week at the Twelfth street branch of the Y. M. C. A. The boys of that troop are working very hard to get into form for their summer hikes and camp. Mr. Lee C. Brown, scoutmaster, and Mr. Clarence Bryson, asst. scoutmaster. The Boy Scout Movement stands for "Preparedness." It has always been our cardinal principle. By "preparedness," however, we have meant something rather different from the type of preparedness which is now causing so much agitation in our country. Our ideal has been preparedness for citizenship, with all the obligations and privileges the word implies. We have devoted our energies to instilling in our boys spirit, honor, resourcefulness, bravery, the idea of co-operation, and other character qualities, and have given little thought as to the ways in which these qualities should be given expression. We believe that these qualities are of fundamental importance in a high type of citizenship, and we believe they will be given proper expression under any circumstances. On Saturday, April 22, a bunch of Satterlee House Scouts, with N. F. Henry, scoutmaster, hiked 25 miles. They had a fine time tracking, signalling, and studying birds and plants. On Monday night, April 24, a number of boy scouts, with Scoutmaster A. L. Hill and assistants Chas, Butler and Clarence Bryson, did a good turn by assisting at the fair held at Shiloh Baptist-church.

Editor of the Washington Herald May we continually grow stronger, so that we can succor those who are growing weaker. If there are those who suffer persecution on account of race, creed, or color, let us be more sympathetic, that they may find more pleasure in life and appreciate that nature's sunshine is for all humanity. If our fellowman commits a wrong, let us not chide him too severely, but rather give him to understand that it is human to err; then he will realize more fully that he has our love, hence will be more apt to forsake his vices. Let us make it a pleasure to help our fellowman. If he is crippled, or his eyes see not, let us constantly watch over him; if he has a family and is without means, let us see that he has a home, where he can be surrounded by his owed ones, instead of sending him to a public institution. Let us learn to tolerate those who cannot tolerate us, as they are only controlled by their weakness. Those who do not agree with us are as firm in their convictions as we are in ours; if they cannot see the sunshine and feel its healthful rays, we must appreciate it all the more and be thankful that we are endowed with these powers of sight and feeling. Let us be kind to all living creatures, particularly to that noble animal, the horse, as well as to man's best friend, the dog. All of these blessings we ask, because it gives us pleasure, and we feel that nature intended it so. PARALLEL LAYMEN'S MISSION- ARY CONVENTION. An interested audience of laymen from the various colored churches of the city listened Wednesday night to an inspiring and instructive address at the Mt. Carmel Baptist Church, from Dr. Jno. A. Mills, lecturer and publicist, the subject being "A Tourist's View of Foreign Missions." Dr. Mills showed by statistics and many examples that Foreign Missions as merely good business was a paying investment to this country; that it was the best and most economically managed business of its magnitude in this country, according to the testimony of such experts as John D. Rockefeller. Commerce follows the missionary, he said, and mentioned the inaccessible out-of-the-way places in China where he had found the Singer Sewing machine, the American bath tub, and American flour. Mr. D. Clay Lilly, field secretary of the Laymen's Missionary Movement, recently from a successful campaign in the South, presided at the meeting, which was the first of a series continuing until Sunday afternoon. A welcome address by Deacon James Ennis of the church, and inspiring singing by the congregation of men, led by Mr. James Rattley, were other interesting features of the evening. WARE'S TOGGERY SHOP. The Ware's department store is the only one of its kind in this city managed and owned by colored Americans. There is a toggery shop in connection with this department store, where all kinds of men's furnishings may be found. There is nothing in men's furnishings, women's wearing apparel, that cannot be obtained at the Ware's department store. Do you want first-class men and ladies' shoes? Do you want children's shoes? Do you want women's apparel of all kinds? Do you want men's collars, shirts, cuffs, neckties, socks of all kinds? If you are looking for first-class goods of all kinds, go to Ware's department store, 1832 Fourteenth street northwest. H. T. SWAN. The only up-to-date grocery and provision store in Le Droit Park, 2021 Fourth street northwest, is managed by-Mr. H. T. Swan. The colored restdents of Le Droit Park have learned some sense. They are supporting their own. All first class families in Le Droit Park patronize Mr. H. T. Swan, whose place of business is at 202 Fourth street northwest. Read next week's issue on this up-to-date place. DEMOCRATIC HOUSE Speaker Clark in Defense of the Colored Americans—The Color Question Waste of Time—Feature of the Debates of Juvenile Court Bill—Waste of Time, He Declares, Over Question That Is "Absolutely Immaterial." Champ Clark, who as Speaker of the House really does less speaking than most of its prominent members, got up and gave his loquacious colleagues a scolding that was worth going a long day's journey to hear yesterday afternoon. It was during the debate on the Juvenile court bill, which finally passed the House on a roll call. For two mortal hours the House had been going around in a circle, pawing the air and pounding the floor over a question which Speaker Clark declared as futile as discussing the identity of that mysterious person who struck Billy Patterson or the man in the black mask. For two hours orators, surcharged with most stupendous ideas, hammered over their theories of the proper treatment of the color question. Speaker Clark surmised that it was all done for local effect, but as a man in the corridor said, it certainly was done with rare vocal effect. It all came about because Representative Clark of Florida introduced as an amendment to the Juvenile Court bill a section providing for separate probation officers and other segregation for children of the two races under the Juvenile Court act. Speaker Clark's Admonition. Then, after the gallant south had told of how it would treat the colored race, and after the gallant north had replied in taunting language and two hours had been consumed, Speaker Clark arose and delivered himself thus: "Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen SPEAKER CHAMP CLARK, Who Defended the Negro in the House of Representatives Against the Attitude of Heflin of Alabama and Other Advocates of Jim Crowism. About, the pending bill and amendments I know little and will say nothing. I regret exceedingly that this debate has strayed off into a futile discussion of the race question. You might just as well be discussing the great question as to who hit Billy Patterson, or who fired the Ephesian dome, or how old is Ann, or who was the man in the iron mask, as to be discussing this color question. It is gradually and slowly settling itself, and all the talk Congress can do will not expediate the settlement. At any rate, it has no proper place in the consideration of the pending bill." The suggestion I want to make is this: You have wasted three mortal hours on a question that is absolutely immaterial—that is, most of the talk was about one that was immaterial. If you gentlemen keep on wasting time in this way we are going to be in session when the frost comes next fall. As we all want to get away from here, my advice to all, on both sides of the chamber, is, leave out these superfluous debates. Stick to the business before the House and get away from here. I Wish Congress could adjourn tonight. Because as long as we stay here some gentleman with an inflammable temper is liable to precipitate a debate that will ring around the world and will do a wonderful amount of devilment. Of course, there is no danger of most of the members doing that. But you can never tell what anybody is going to do when he is in a close personal contest in a debate. Chides the Republicans "You Republicans are just as much interested in getting away from here as the democrats are, because you have to look after your fences as well as the democrats have. You have not the world by the tail with a downhill pull by any means. "Having said that much, I am going to say something about this educational question. I was born and reared in Kentucky. When a child I played OUR CHILDREN. Chas. M.- Thomas of Miner Normal School Opens discussion of Vita Project In visiting public schools to observe the work of our young teachers in training, and in talking before associations of citizens and of parents and teachers, I have been impressed by the disorganized state of two influences that must cooperate in focussing attention on the breeding, care and training of our children—the home and the educational institutions. The civilized world is just awakening to the meaning of Christ's impressive selection of a little child as the type of our hope of the future. We, who labor under so many difficulties, can do nothing better, higher or more imperative today than undertake some specific work to improve both the nature and the nurture of the childhood of the race. A study of "Savage Childhood," by Todd, reveals that African children play leap frog, I spy, Cat's cradle, and other childish games in tribes remote from the influences of missionaries or travelers. And African travelers state that the children of the tribes are regarded as an asset. They belong to the family of the mother and are cared for by relatives or by the tribe itself in the event of the death of relatives. From these_revelations as well as from our personal experiences we can see that there is no dearth of love of childhood among us as a people, but in our efforts at adjustment to the severe conditions of modern city life, I fear we are prone to neglect the demands made by children as a whole, even though meeting, in some instances, the highest standards in our interest in our own. The time has come when those who call themselves educated and who have the power to at least care for themselves, and their families, must assume some responsibility for the rest of the race, and even those who are not so fortunate must do more and specific things for the betterment of the race, through the improved condition of the race's children. Should this statement meet a response, I propose to discuss through these columns and the Forum, in a frank and direct manner, and to submit some answers to the questions growing out of this subject. School buildings, equipment, teachers and administrators, with playgrounds, clinics, visiting playgrounds, series, visiting playgrounds, multiplied both from and by the efforts of the churches and the citizens, but they are but alds to the main issues. To properly construct a better childhood of the race, we must get at conditions in both parents and their grandparents before the children are born; the conditions surrounding the birth of the children; the attention and nourishment given to infants in the earliest months; the bathing, dressing, food, sleep, water and fresh air provided during the first year of infant life; the protection, affection and attentive instruction flowing from the companions who influence the dawning rise of consciousness during the first three years, when the child so rapidly develops its power to control the larger muscles of the body and to learn the names and immediate uses of things by which it is surrounded. And it is at this period, when the child can walk, talk and play, that most can be done, must be done, both to protect and instruct it prior to the more formal and routine work of the public kindergarten and primary school. In the years between three and five the children are subject to numerous accidents and injuries by reason of their capacity to respond to many kinds of excitement in the complex world in which they find themselves, and about which they know so little. That they inquire by every means in their power is natural, and that they may be injured in getting the answer to their inquiry is natural, for Nature would eliminate all who make mistakes, and the children left to themselves use the only means at their command, the method of trial and error. In the language of the street, "If they live through it, they may live forever!" Thus does impartial law select the fittest to survive. It is because of this very situation, that parents, if they can, and in the event that ignorance, vicissitudes, or the power, privilege or greed of the stronger classes prevents the parents from giving the protection to their offspring, then society represented by you and me, must throw about these children such environment, influences and care as to give to the formal institutions which prepare them for their places in that society, at the beginning of childhood, the highest possible aggregate of fairly normal childhood on which to work. And the work does not end there, the responsibility movement and as its proper conduct under present conditions can not be shifted to the shoulders of public servants, even the most conscientious, as our teachers certainly have proven themselves during the past forty years. Our responsibility does not end when we have entered each new generation in a kindergarten or a primary school. Not only must parents and citizens see that every child is provided with the instruction which these departments give, or its equivalent where the home adequate so to do, but see that such kindergarten and elementary school are the best places for children at that age, and that they are constantly so-maintained by care and by improvement. The very fact that the people in charge of these departments are paid employees, indicates that they can do but little to correct defects in light, air cleanliness, toilet provisions and cultural and recreation privileges beyond what may be provided for them. The most they can do is to protect the children from the gross influences and injuries, while they provide instruction and amusement according to plans formulated by those to whom they are subject and must be amenable for purposes of easy administration from above. It is the parents and citizens, paying as they do, the whole cost, both for the maintainance of the institutions and the value of the child's precious life and time, who must take the initiative in correction and improvement of existing conditions. They must know and know what to do. They must be organized and present their demands through and to their chosen representatives, in this work of public education; and allowing for time and the cost connected with the solution of practical difficulties, they must insist upon remedial action. If schools exist for the children, make it true and allow other consideration to prevail. In that way only can the cooperative effort represented in public education be made effective in giving us better childhood. But to look about at the homes which supply children to the schools of your neighborhood must reveal at a glance that however careful and painstaking you may be in your home and-with your children, and however ideal may be the conditions in public institutions, there are parents who do allow their children to bring, to the school all possible conditions of dirt, disease and darkness. And you must realize that without your cooperation both in the neighborhood and in the school itself little will be done to prevent infection and injury to your children, they may be susceptible to cause they have become not immune to just such injuries from dirt, disease and darkness. So simple a thing as an unhygienic store kept near the school, may be the cause of a permanent injury to a normal and promising child. The few, public spirited men and women here who attend meetings of teachers and parents are impressed by the superior character of the audiences, but they know they have failed to meet the people who need the inspiration and direction which these meetings are to produce. Not until each parent and citizen in a given school circuit, understands and undertakes tactfully and sympathetically to enlist and to instruct every negligent parent and citizen (wilfully, ignorantly or unavoidably negligent) as to the conditions and needs of that school and of their children, can we claim individually or racially to have done even a part of our duty to our younger children. To be continued. Address communications to "Our Children," care of The Bee, 1109 Eye street. N. W. . "THE BIRTH OF A NATION." What a Mr. Miller, a White Man, Saw and Writes His Views Especially for The Bee. Editor Bee: "The Play's the thing. To try the conscience of the King." I was asked by several people if I would not give my opinion of the film, "The Birth of a Nation," as I have witnessed it at the New National Theater. I am pleased to do so, and speaking from the standpoint of a Caucasian, I think most people will grant that what I say should be honest and unbiased. In extenuation of anything that may seem harsh, I will state in the beginning that it has been banished from the city of Ohio and driven out of the city of Lansing, Michigan, and that the governor of that state hopes to keep it out of every town and city in the commonwealth, and it is said that other towns and cities are excluding it. Mr. D. W. Griffith, the author and producer, we must admit, has shown wonderful artistic taste and great dramatic ability and a certain sense of correctness, particularly in the first half of the film, but how a man can so far forget himself and throw to the winds every thought of decency as he does in the second half of the film, is hard for an unpruded person to understand if there is any of the milk of human kindness flowing in his veins. For instance, in the second half an innocent white girl who goes to a well for a bucket of water is overtaken by a tough-looking Negro and chased for a long distance over hill and dale, when finally to escape him she leaps from a high hill to her death. The colored Lieut. Governor Lynch is visited by an innocent white girl who wishes him to intercede for some friend; he proposes marriage to her; she tried to flee when he bolts the door; she faints; he takes her in his arms and runs up and down the room telling his assistant to bring in the proper person and performs a forced marriage. I think that any student of history will grant that this is all the worst kind of fiction. Can it be that Mr. Griffith, realizing that the Negro, though a citizenize, is not granted the full rights of citizenship guaranteed him under the constitution. It is not strong enough politically to prevent this outrage? It seems to the writer impossible that any one with any manhood could so far forget himself. The most dangerous barbarian is the one who is civilized and educated, as his influence is more far reaching. It is hard to understand why these harmful features are introduced. Surely they do not add to the receipts of the box office. The film has too many good and worthy things to present. I can thoroughly appreciate what the law abiding Negro suffers from. "The laws delay, the insolence of of fice. And the spurns that patient merit Of the unworthy takes." R.M. MILLER. HOW TO SUCCEED. I thank you for the article published in your valuable paper Satur-Saturday, April 8; on "How to Succeed." I have been asked to write more on this subject. As I said be sure to succeed it is necessary to love your work. You can not work if you are sick. The key to success is mensana in corpore sano—a sound mind in a sound body. You cannot do good work unless you are full of vim, vigor and vitality. If your body is sick your mind is incapacitated for thinking. If you can not think right it is impossible to act right. The best ideas, plans and methods, the biggest business deals, the greatest inventions are put through when you are bubbling over with health and strength. It is impossible to be fit for work—a success—unless the mind and body are in harmony. You can not succeed IRVING WILLIAMS, ATTORNEY.

You can not work if you are sick, any more than an engine can run without steam. Steam makes the engine go; fire makes the steam; the fuel makes the fire, and it impossible to have a fire without a boiler. So it is with the human engine—your own body. First, you must have a good boiler—stomach; second, you must eat the proper foods. The food we eat makes energy—steam. With energy comes strength, vim, vigor, and vitality, and with these requisite attributes you will succeed where others are sure to fail. Disease is due to ignorance or neglect. I mean by this that we do not understand the laws of nature or. we fail to heed her warnings. We depend entirely upon the doctors, who only heed what we should learn to help ourselves and children. We should learn more about prophylactic treatment than curative treatment. "An ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure." "For want of a nail the shoe was lost; for the want of a shoe the horse was lost; for the want of a horse the rider was lost." Finally, the person who will succeed is the healthy one. DR. J. E.

CLASSES. porting the Hogan ‘and Willistox ticket have devlared tliat then ticket have the better clement o: tho Colored people supporting it Suppose The Bee names a few o. those they call the better class, an¢ compare them with those they re gard as the lower class,-and let’ the public judge. ~ The Better Class. Whitfield McKinley. ® Thomas H. R. Clark. Walter Welburn. « Robert Harlan. * Eugene Welburn. : Roseoe C. Bruce. The Lower Class, as the better class.would say: Rev. W. H. Jernagin, a member ship of two thousand of the leading citizens. i Rev. W. Bishop: Johnson, pastor of the 2d Baptist- Church, an orator, author, and scholar, with a member. ship of three thousand of the most substantial people in: this city. Rev. N. W. M. Norman, one of the greatest orators in the United States and pastor of: the largest Baptist Chureh in the city, with some of the most refined.and best edueated colored citizens in this city. The Bee has only ‘named these among hundreds of the leading div- ines and representativé citiznes. Compare the so-called better class with thrée of the leading pastors and churches. The six so-called better class couldn’t raise enough enthusiasm to cause perspiration on a cornfield in the month of July. ‘The Bee hasn’t begun to name-the representatives ‘among the colored people who are supporting the Mil- Jer-Chese, Hayes and Collins ticket. ‘The Bee predicts the deféat of the Hogan- Williston ticket by from six to seven thousand. Those gentle- men who are of the opinion that they have the better element of the people. with them will be: greatly disappointed on election day: Many of those who declared for the Hogan and Williston have come over to the Regular Republican ticket. : There are five’ hundréd white wings, red caps, not naming five thousand Wooden of the World, who have endorsed the Miller-Chase Hayes and Collins ticket, “Phe common people or the lower classes, as’ they have’ been’ ‘charac- terized by the so-ealled better ele- ment, will outnumber the gentle- men of leisure. eon The votes of the best’black will weigh just as much as the so-called better element. The vote of the street-sweeper will, weigh just as much-in this election as the vote of| the gentlemen who.were.fed with a silver spoon from lis childbirth, and they have a larger following than the so-calléd better element: The other: :ticket will be con- vinced, if it has not been ‘already, that the best. element of the people will vote the ticket of the Capital City and United Republican clubs. ELECTION OF DELEGATES. ‘The election board appointed by the National Republican Commit- tee on. Wednesday: afternoon is- sued its ¢all for the holding of a primary election to take place Fri- day, May seventh. Elsewhere in this week’s Bee will be seen the text of.the.call. From what the Bee understands the board has adopted every precaution to prevent fraud. Rumors are afloat that an attempt will be made to purchase the elec- tion or the judges. ‘The board will no doubt appoint men as judges of election of well known integrity, and who cannot”be purchased by any representative of the three tickets. If the-several tickets’ are satisfied that they have a majority of the voters, why should any at- tempt be made to purchase thé judges, whoever they. may-be? ‘The Bee is of the opinion that reputable men will be appointed judges who have the interest of the party at heart, and not any: par- ticular’ candidate. The candidates ‘of the Capital City and United Republicans have: made no. sugges- tion whafever as to the manner how the election should be held one way. ‘or the other. This ticket’ has’ the votes if an opportunity is given the ‘voters to vote. The canvass of the several districts .and organizations show that the Miller-Chase, Hayes and Collins ticket will sweep the city from seven to eight thousand plurality. : The Woodmen of the World will cast votes. to the amount of five thousand. .The Blaine Invincible |Republican Club, of which the late Col. P. H. Carson was founder and president, will cast a vote from two to three: thousand, the two United Republican Clubs will east votes to the number-of: four thousand, the white wings, street sweepers, who were rejected. by the Moose ticket, will.give’ the. Miller-Chase; Hayes- Collins ticket five hundred -solid votes, not naming several dozens so- cial clubs that have quietly declared for the Miller-Chase ticket. Mr.* Hogan and Dr. ‘Williston will.not poll three thousand votes, although this ticket claims to have five ‘thousand registered names, many of whom are members of the Capital City and United Repub- Tican Clubs, who will desert them ‘on the day of the election, and. who have been feasted. wined and dined ‘oii hot dogs, whisky: and beer. JEREMIAH HAWKINS. | -4here 18 not @ more loyal colored republican in Prince _ George’s County or the State: of. Maryland that. Mr. Jeremiah Hawkins, a na- tive of Brentwood, Md. As an evi- dence of his loyalty and the confi. dence the people-have in shim,’ he has been named as their standard- bearer on the republican tickét as a candidate -for delegate ‘to the National Republican Convention which is to. meet:in Chicago, IIL, June 7, 1916. It is the duty of every true-blue white Republican to support Mr. Hawking, as ‘The Bee feels confident that the colored Republicans-of the 5th congres- sional district will stand by him to aman, ; Mr. Hawkins is personally known to the Editor of The Bee as a man and Republican of the highest in; tegrity. . ‘The Bee takes a personal interest in the candidacy of this progressive and true-blue Republican, because he has never faltered in the darkest hours of political combats. The Bee has the most abiding faith in the Republican party of the 5th Congressional District and the loyalty of such a man as Mr Francis Garmody, who has never betrayed his trust, and’ neither ‘has he.ever opposed # colored. man no matter what his condition may be. Let-it go down in -history that the Republican party of the 5th Con- greasional District will elect -Jere- migh Hawkins as one of the dele- gates to the National Republican Convention. wee . NORTH CAROLINA ENTER- : PRISE.: : Some of: the most enterprising business men and enterprises will be found in the State of North Carolina; and Durham, N. C., at that. There is not a greater or a more enterprising institution in’ the South than the North’Carolina Mu- tual and Provident Insurance Com- pany at Durham, managed by that quiet and enterprising individual, C. C.'Spaulding. ‘The new insur- ance company that has -just been launched in this city will be-an in- ducément for the ninety thousand or more Clored people to take no- tice. The local representative and attorney of this enterprise is The Bee's own townsman, Zeph Moore. Not’ a more enterprising man can be found in this city, nor amore honest man could have been select- ed by this company. Mr. Moore is known by the people, and they have confidence in him. . The Beé recom- mends this company as one of the most reliablé in United States. Have your life insured in’ this company now. SPEAKER CLARK. There are some very good men ‘ir the democratic party as well: as fr the republican’ party.” There are some very mean republicans as there are democrats. Speaker Clark, although democrat, has always been popular with the coloréd people in this coun: try.. It has been the southern wing of the democratic party that has em barrassed President Wilson. The Bee {s confident ‘that President Wilson. is anxious to- do something for the col- ored politicians; but a few southern democrats om the order of Vardeman, Hoke Smith and a: few others prevent him. President Wilson must take the bull by the horns and do as his democratic predecessor, the late ex- President Grover Cleveland., Tho Bee has the highest regard for’ Any man who defends the colored | americans.

Williams, principal of M Street High School, and he delivered an excellent address upon "Easter," touching upon many things bearing upon the welfare of colored folk in general as well. Prof. Williams is an earnest and practical speaker and held his audience attentively and thoughtfully. An essay by Mrs. Iren Botts delivered in a graceful manner, was both historical and interesting, upon the "Observance of Easter." The music was simply grand and the audience was literally sweep off of their feet time and again by the high-class renditions of participants. Among the visiting participants were Miss Maggle Jefferson, who sang only as she can sing, with depth and temperament; Mr. Fred Pryor, a splendid tenor, who displayed ability in duo with Miss M. Pryor; Mr. John M. Johnson, violinist, who rendered "Ave Maria," with telling effect; and Mr. W. C. Chase, "Jr., cornetist, whose melodious and full round tones floated in the air as sweetly as soft zephers of summer, and with Miss Beatriz L. Chase, the accompanist, won fresh laurels as high-class performers. Mr. Chase and Miss Chase are certainly artists of no mean ability and the public should hear more of them. The choruses were rendered with great success by the choir, Mrs. Nellie Smith and Mrs. Sarah Morton distinguishing themselves in obligatos. Miss Mary Pryor in duo with Mr. Pryor sang splendidly; so did Misses Mary Walker and Mary Brewer also in a soprano and alto duet. Miss Hattie Williams, the organist, manipulated the pipe organ to perfection and its deep and mellow tones, through her skill, re-echoed through the air. Attorney A. S. Pinkett, with his usual dignity and grace, served as master of ceremonies to the delight of those present. Rev. Dr. Elliot of Baltimore conducted the devotionals in a pleasing and refined manner and made a few happy remarks to the delight of his hearers.

Here is a brief outline of the story of this play which was greeted by the critics as superior in every respect to "Within The Law." Chick Hewes and hi- wife, both ex-convicts, have decided to go straight. They do not, however part with all their old associates. Two of these old friends are suspected of having stolen a diamond necklace. Chick is arrested and taken to Police Headquarters under suspicion of knowing something about the theft, and put through the third degree. Chick clears himself, but the police continue to hound him. The real thief seeks shelter with Chick and his wife and it is granted him. He ungratifies dies on their hands and leaves them to dispose of his body. That problem is finally solved, but it is immediately followed by a worse one. The dead thief himself had been robbed of the necklace by Chick's brother-in-law. Chick desperate, and hunted, nearly gives up his newly made resolutions of honesty, but his wife shows him the hopelessness of trying to win at the old game. He turns the necklace over to a detective who has promised immunity to every one concerned if he will do so. The detective is not playing fair and arrests Chick. A magnificent, fight follows, when Chick's wife comes to her husband's rescue by stabbing the detective with a hypodermic needle filled with morphine, and together they overpower him. The reformed couple finally throw themselves on the mercy of the law. In a full confession to the commissioner, they make clear their innocence. Their trials and tribulations are at an end and they go forth to follow, unmollested, their life of virtue. SOCIAL... Miss Annie. Smith, of Philadelphia, Pa., is visitin friends in this city.

My soul is soothed, my cares have found an end; Its daily hours in tranquil east employ. Thus all conspires to heigthen harmless joy. I'll have no shouts' of strife's discordant voice To chase away pure thoughts, they are my choice; Nor will my joyous life again be found Contented with its sphere on lowly ground. —By I. GUSTUS R. FORD. Learn quick, ye tyrants, ere ye learn too late That I should raise my fancy and improve my state, For greater song to stranger's ears will roll. Love, happy love, that feeds upon my soul. Vain is the man that gets himself a friend. And to rone others this same cast attend; So to the Heaven's wind these notes go 'long. For man as yet, e'er marks and scorns my song. 'Mid splendors past, with joyous wings outspread, We see our heroes' wake from sluggish dread, And serpent gallantly through oft in vain, With fervent hope, they still aspire to to reign. But still the pangs of sorrow and deceit, With serpent's greed, our heroes' virtues greet. And pouring hatred's incense o'er their way. They set aside all laughter from its play. Tho' there are many who o'er the ghostly sea, Have sent their names in forms divine to be. The light inspiring truth, a pure design, To cause each fallen soul new life to find. Thus in their chief untiring plea appears No sign of blissful life, but rather tears— The fruit of curst existence and disdain. Where life itself is turned by touch profane. —By I. GUSTAVUS R. FORD.

The census of 1914, like that of 1909, with reference to manufactures, excluded the hand trades, the building trades, and the neighborhood industries, and took account only of establishments conducted under the factory system. In the last census, also, as in that for 1909, statistics were not collected for establishments having products for the census year valued at less than $500, except that reports were taken for establishments idle during a portion of the census year, or which began operation during that year, and whose products for such reason were valued at less than $500. The word "establishment" as used in the census reports may mean more than one mill or plant, provided they are owned or controlled and operated by a single individual, corporation, or other owner or operator, and are located in the same town or city. The reports were taken for the calendar year ending December 31, 1914, wherever the system of bookkeeping permitted figures for that period to be secured, but when the fiscal year year of an establishment differed from the calendar year a report was obtained for the operations of that establishment for its fiscal year falling most largely within the calendar year 1914. The population of Marlboro at the census of 1910 was 14,579 and it is estimated that it was 15,000 on July 1, 1914. The statistics represent the establishments located within the corporate limits of Marlboro. UNITED STATES PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICE. Walking is the best exercise—and the cheapest?

VERMILLION THE BIBLE HOPE COMPREHENSIN This Hope the Source of Stru Consolation to All Who The Church's Hope/ the Grandest World's Hope Also Glorious—Six Thousand Years of Experience With Sin and Death—Why Permitted. Blessings and Favors Prove a Curse to the Unsanctified and Selfish—Present World-Wide Trouble the Forerunner of a Better Day—Deliverance of Church and World at Hand. Wilmington, Del., April 23.—Pastor Russell's address for today was from Hebrews 6:18, 19: "That by two immutable things [His Word and His Oath], in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation who have fed to lay hold upon PASTOR RUSSELL AFTOR QUESELL PASTOR RUSSELL the hope set before us; which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which entereth into that within the veil." The Apostle's words intimate that there is but one hope set before the Church—the hope presented in the Gospel of Christ, the Pastor began. It is very important, then, that as Christians we understand what that hope is. Once we had such confused ideas respecting our Heavenly Father and His Plan that many of us supposed that it was a hope set before, a few and a threat set before everybody else—a threat of endless torment. How we misunderstood "the God of All Grace and the Father of Mercies!" Now we see that there is a glorious hope for all who learn to love righteousness and hate iniquity, although the world's hope is not the Christian's hope. The Hope—Reigning With Christ. The hope set before the Church is the hope of reigning with Christ, as His joint-heels, His Bride, the hope of attaining the Divine nature. (Romans 8:17; 1 John 3:2; 2 Peter 1:4.) This hope has been held out in advance of the world's hope, in which the Church has no part. The first intimation of the Church's hope was given to Abraham—the intimation that God could raise up a class that would roll away the curse of death from Adam's race. The Almighty Himself had placed the condemnation of death upon the world, had judged that man was unworthy of everlasting life. Two thousand years after He had pronounced the curse upon Adam, the Eternal declared that a blessing would come to ALL the families of the earth. It required great faith on Abraham's part to believe this Promise. But he believed that in some manner God would roll away the curse—Genesis 12:3; Rom. 4:3. And now, four thousand years after Abraham's time, this Promise has not yet been fulfilled. God promised Abraham that through his Seed the whole world should be blessed. That Seed, the Apostle Paul assures us, is Christ and His Church. The hope of being this Seed is the hope referred to in our text. -Galatians 3:0-18, 18, 29. Our Anchor Sure and Steadfast. God showed that there are to be two seeds of Abraham; for He said, "Thy seed shall be [1] as the stars of Heaven, and [2] as the sands of the seashore." (Genesis 22:15-18). Here are two seeds mentioned, though the Heavenly was to be the Seed of Blessing. In due time God gave His Law to the Israelites, with the understanding that if they could not keep that Law, they could not be proper teachers and blessers of the world. Moses read the Law to them at Shalat; and the people answered, "All that the Lord hath spoken we will do."—Exodus 19:1-8. God designed that the whole world should learn that no fallen human being could keep the letter of His Law; for it is the measure of a perfect man's ability. But He dealt with the Israelites as if they could do so. Year after year they tried in vain to keep the Law; hence they failed to be the Seed that was to bless the world. God was merely teaching them, and all of His intelligent creatures, that it is possible for sinners to justify themselves in His sight.—Romans 3:20. Then in due time God sent forth His Son, the Logos, to become a human being and accomplish a great work for mankind. Jesus was born a son of Abraham, through the Virgin Mary. He kept the Jewish Law, and proved Himself worthy to be Messiah, the Seed of Blessing. He died a corresponding-price for Adam. He redeemed the race. He became qualified for the great work of the world's deliverance. But first He is delivering the Church. Before the Church God has set the great hope of constituting with Jesus the Spiritual Seed of Abraham, which is to bless the world. If we let go of this anchor of hope, we shall make shiwkreek of our faith. The remainder of the sermon was devoted to the present outlook. The Pastor showed that the European war is merely the beginning of the trouble to which our Lord referred when He said, "Except those days be shortened, there should be no flesh saved." (Matthew 24:21, 22). The world's only hope is in Messiah's Kingdom, shortly to be established upon the ruins of the Old Order. ST. PETER DELIVERED FROM PRISON Passover. Trials and Testings—Death of St. James—St. Peter Imprisoned. His Miraculous Deliverance—An All-Night Prayer-Meeting—The Reward of Faith—Lessons For Our Day—Divine Guardianship of All Truly His. "The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear Him, and delivereth them."—Pasim 31.7. HEROD was the family name of several kings who ruled israel but who were Edmithes. At the time of today's Study Herod Agrippa I. had been appointed king of Judea. He was the grandson of Herod the Great, murderer of the babes at Bethlehem, and the nephew of Herod Antipas, who beheaded John the Baptist and subsequently, with his soldiers, set Jesus at naught and mocked Him, just prior to His crucifixion. Herd Agrippa appears to have been desirous of the good will of the people, even at the cost of principle. He took pains to observe the minutiae of Jewish ceremonials. On the lookout to curry favor, especially with the influential Jews, Agrippa caused the Apostle James to be beheaded. Finding that the death of St. James brought great pleasure to the Jews, he had the Apostle Peter arrested. The ex- to carry invas, especially with the influential Jews, Agrippa caused the Apostle James to be beheaded. Finding that the death of St. James brought great pleasure to the Jews, he had the Apostle Peter arrested. The expression, "When he had apprehended him," implies that some delay occurred—that St. Peter's arrest was after searching. Probably all of the Apostles were more or less secreted about that time. But, trusting to the sacredness of the Passover season, St. Peter had ventured forth and was imprisoned, Agrippa intending his death after the Passover week. We can well imagine the sadness of the Church at this Passover season, which must have reminded them considerably of our Lord's death. For some years past it has seemed to us as though each Passover season, each Memorial celebration, was a time of special trial and testing amongst the followers of our Lord. Whether this is a fact or not, surely it will not injure the Lord's people to be, especially on guard against the wiles of the Adversary at these times. Let us watch and pray lest we fall into temptation. St. Peter is supposed to have been imprisoned in the famous Castle of Antonia, where our Lord was arraigned before Pilate, and where St. Paul was subsequently taken when mobbed in Jerusalem. The Apostle had a guard of four quaterlions—four soldiers each—who relieved each other every three hours. Two of the four were chained to his arms, the third stood outside the door, and the fourth was stationed in the passage leading to the outer gate. The power of grace Divine to give peace amidst alarms is well illustrated in this case by the fact that St. Peter was fast asleep when the angel of the Lord came to deliver him. The properties of the case are also illustrated by the fact that the Church were not asleep, but praying for the Apostle. It was not for him to pray for deliverance from Agrippa's power. For him to have asked for the prolongation of life would have manifested a wilfulness incompatible with a full consecration to God's will. But with the Church it was different. They could with all propriety tell the Lord of their love for St. Peter, and express the hope that it might be the Divine will that he should continue with them. Between three and six o'clock in the morning St. Peter was awakened by an angel, whose radiant features enabled the Apostle quickly to discern that his deliverer was, a holy being. The Apostle was bidden to arise. Simultaneously the chains were loosed which bound him to the soldiers. He then was instructed to put on his cloak and to follow his leader. He did so. Thus he was led past the that his deliverer was, a holy being. The Apostle was bidden to arise. Simultaneously the chains were loosed which bound him to the soldiers. He then was instructed to put on his cloak and to follow his leader. He did so. Thus he was led past the first and second doors, until they came to the great iron gate leading into the city. This swung open of its own accord; and then the angel left him. Doubtless the angel had started St. Peter in the direction of Mary's home, where prayer was being made on his behalf. The description of the house implies that it was of the better class. St. Peter's knock was answered by Rhoda-little Rose—who was so delighted, when she recognized his voice, that, childlike, she neglected to open the door before running back to tell the praying household that he was at the gate. Some thought that the little maid was mistaken, and insisted that it was his angel—in harmony with the thought that an angel had supervision of each of God's people, and that such might personate his charge. The brethren were surprised at the Lord's answer to their petition; for it came very unexpectedly as respects time. When they realized that it was St. Peter, there was an outburst of excitement which he was obliged to silence, by shaking his hands. Then he narrated the wonderful story of his deliverance, and bade them tell it to the other James, the cousin of Jesus, and other disciples. Then he went his way.

Five weeks from today, at 8:30 o'clock, P. M., Washington is to be gay with the carnival fever; enjoying its first Negro Automobile Floral Parade. This event, which will be known the world over, on account of its being the first occurrence of its kind promoted by Negroes, is to be a time of gayety and mirth for every living soul. Long after the carnival is over the memory of its achievement will still be fresh in the minds of every one who will witness that massive line of cars rolled along Penn. Avenue. The plans for the carnival have already been approved by the leading citizens of Washington, both white and colored. The prizes, which are to be awarded to the winners, have been donated by the leading business houses and newspapers of Washington. The contestants for prizes in this parade must be colored. They do not need to be the owners of cars, but the drivers or entrees. There will be a number of cars entered by white people for advertising purposes only. The procession is to be divided into sections, in order that each trade or profession will be together, and lead by a marshal of that particular division. The Grand Marshall of the parade will be Chas. Skinner, who will lead the entire procession. The judges of the carnival (for the best decorated car) are Mr. Joseph Berberich, Hon. Louis Brownlow, Maj. J. D. Comody, Maj. R. W. Pullman and Mr. J. C. Dowell. Pay No Fees To Anyone to Enter Carnival. It does not cost you one "Red Copper" to enter the Colored Auto Floral Parade. Simply fill out the blink and mail to "Auto Editor,"Washington Bee and prepare your car for the entry on the 27th of next month. If you don't care to you don't even have to decorate your car; but as there are to be five loving cups given away, each entre should seek one. There are one hundred and thirty-seven now who have entered and yours is needed to swell this list. The Bee will commence, in its Auto section next week, to have a "Motor Cycle Column," which will give full news of the colored cycling public. It will be under the same Editorship as the Auto news of which Chas. Skinner is the Edr.or. Mr. Berberick Gives Handsome Silver Cup to the Washington Bee Automobile Floral Parade—Prizes on Exhibition at the Bee Office. The largest and first prize cup, which is now on exhibition was donated by Mr. Joseph Berberich, one of Washington's foremost shoe merchants. Mr. Berberich is also one of the five judges chosen to decide the winners of the five prizes to be awarded for the prettiest decorated cars in our Colored Automobile Floral Parade. It is chiefly through the cooperation and assistance given by Mr. Berberich that we are to have this great carnival. It was he who voluntarily offered the first prize and accepted the judgeship from our promoter. Charles Skinner.

Stock Touring Car, with Three Passengers, Leaps Chasm 33 Feet Wide—Spetacular Picture Filmed When Director Finds Auto to Stand Strain. The most spectacular automobile action picture yet obtained by a camera, was filmed recently near Santa Barbara, Cal., where the studio of the American Film Company are located, when a Maxwell stock touring car leaped a chasm thirty-three feet wide and twenty-one feet deep. It landed safely on the other side with fourteen feet to spare, the total distance of the flight being forty-seven feet. Three passengers were carried on the perilous journey. Another remarkable tribute to Maxwell sturdiness is contained, in the fact that none of the passengers were injured and the car was unharmed. The car was driven 1,000 feet on a temporary board incline to give it the momentum necessary for its long leap through the air. Albert Thompson, one of the film actors, who was driving the car, said it had attained a speed of fifty miles an hour when it left the incline built on the approach side of the guild. A large crowd was on hand to watch the performance and the majority of the onlookers predicted the experiment would end in disaster. Crowd Is Anxious. When the flying Maxwell shot off the incline into the air, everyone held his breath in an agony of suspense. But their forebodings were not justified. The car shot through the air, upward and onward, describing a graceful arc and landing squarely on the roadbed, fourteen feet beyond the brink of the gorge. To the film scene, P. G. Lynch studio manager for the American film Co., found a chasm that had been created by a wash-out bridge over the Las Posas Creek, on the Camarillo ranch, near Camarillo, Cal. Mr. Lynch made conscientious investigation in an effort to obtain a car that would meet all requirements in speed, strength and dependability. His selection was the Maxwell, and the wisdom of his choice is indicated by the success of the venture, by the fact that none of the three picture actors were injured and that the car withstood tremendous shock without as much as a spring clip being broken. Woman in Car. In the car beside Mr. Thompson were Juanita Hansen and Jack little, of the "Flying A" Company. When the car landed on the other side of the gorge; it continued on its way up the road, until it was brought to a stop by its daring driver. As proof of the ease with which car and passengers withstood the hazardous experiment, the movie actors immediately drove back to the city in the same car in which they made their automobile flight: Non-Stop Maxwell in Arizona. The non-stop Maxwell, holder of the world's record of 22,000 miles without a stop of the motor, is now being shown in the principle cities of Arizona. Charles C. Miller, Jr., representative of the Maxwell Motor Co., is touring the state with the car and drove it from San Deigo to Phoenix without the slightest trouble. On his arrival in Phoenix he sent the following telegram to the Lord Motor Car Co. Maxwell distributors in Los Angeles: "Arrived Phonix today, eleven hours actual driving time from Yuma, over worst roads have ever experienced. Many cars stalled but came entire distance under own power. Usual time for trip is 18 hours." Whereas God Almighty has taken our dear friend from our midst, we bow our heads in humble submission and say "Thy will and not ours be done." While with us Marguerite was always bright and cheerful, fulfilling all her duties to the best of her ability. As a sewing circle, we feel that the silver cord has been broken, and one who was dear has gone to a sweeter resting place. To know her was to love her. We --- AS THEY USED TO BE AS THEY USED TO BE 5 Mr. Robert Berbereich feel that she was an example of patience, gentleness and long suffering. No one but she and God knew how in the lonely watches of the night, racked with main, she bore it silently, lest she should disturb the dear ones. To the family we can say that you have done your duty, and God knew that he needed your dear child and sister. Comfort yourselves in 'he thought that earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot sure. Rejoice too, that she knew that this earth did not need her when God had a place awaiting her. Just so sweetly and quickly as she lived so did she die. To all who were near and dear we we would say, emulate her example and someday you can steal silently away and join her. Our circle shall miss her and some bright Easter morning we shall join her. Sleep safely in Jesus arms, sleep on and take your rest. Poinsettia Sewing Circle.
