IF IT'S NEWS, IT'S IN THE BEE, FOR THE BEE IS A NEWSPAPER. THE BEE WASHINGTON Washington's Best and Leading Negro Newspaper That's THE BEE WASHINGTON, D.C. SATURDAY MAY 27, 1916 VOL. XXXVI,NO. 53 Dr. James E. Shepard, the Progressive and Successful President of the Greatest School in North Carolina, Comes Out With Laurels. After Years of Toll, the Treasurer's Report Shows the School Out of Debt. (Special Staff Correspondence.) Durhäm, N. C., May 19. The commencement exercises at the national training school yesterday were the most notable from every viewpoint in the history of the institution. They marked the closing of a highly successful year and the announcement of Mr. J. B. Mason, treasurer of the institution, which was read by Mr. S. C. Brawley, that every debt had been met and that the school property had been turned over without incumbrance to the board of directors was a source of much pleasure to those who have the best interests of the school at heart. The commencement address was delivered by Dr. Minot C. Morgan, D. D., pastor or the Central Presbyterian church, Summit, N. J. Dr. Morgan is a graduate; of Princeton university and the Princeton theological seminary. He was a member of the Princeton astronomical party that visited Wadesboro, N. C., in 1900 to observe the eclipse of the sun. Dr. Morgan is a member of the Presbyterian board of foreign missions and also of the Presbyterian college, board. Dr. Morgan spoke on "Preparedness." Some of his utterances follow: We are hearing a great deal today on the subject of "Preparedness." One of the things which this European war has clearly shown is that the nation which in prepared has a tremendous advantage over the nation which is unready. And so here in our own country, though at the moment we are not apprehensive of war, a great many people are urging a reasonable degree of preparedness against possible hostile invasion in the future. Only last Saturday more than one hundred and twenty-five thousand persons marched in procession through the city of New York, registering thus their solemn belief and demand that one country should be prepared for any emergency. Were this plea for preparedness the hypocritical disguise of a militaristic propaganda, every Christian man, every hearted American, ought to set his face resolutely against it. Were it but a specious argument for imperialistic aggression either by war of by threat, it would be absolutely counter both to the principles of Christianity and to the genius and ideals of this democracy. Not for one moment would we even consider the increase of our armament for the purpose of extending our borders. Heaven knows we do not want to add Mexico to our problems, or any South American territory, or any more trans-cean regions. We have troubles enough with the Philippines. We hold them today, not in an aggressive spirit, but as a responsibility unexpectedly resulting from the Spanish war. A war, by the way, which this country, entered upon in an altruistic spirit, and but for which, Cuba and Potor Rico would today be still suffering under the lash, of foreign oppressors. I am sure that the time is coming when bolts and bars can be thrown into the scrap heap, when prisons and reformatories will be out of date, when the police force will have nothing to do, when swords shall be beaten into plowshares and spears into pruninghooks, when there shall be no need for army or navy because the laws of justice and brotherliness and love will be obeyed by all the nations. But that day is not yet. I have not heard even the extreme pacifics urge the abolition of army and navy and police. Even they must feel the need of a certain degree of military protection, both for the individual citizens and for the nation. So the whole question would seem to resolve itself into a question of degree. Not "shall we have military protection or not?" but granted that we need a little protection, how much do we need? Simply enough to protect ourselves, that and that only. We ought to have and I believe always will have, too small an armed force to make it possible for us to commit the sin of aggressive warfare. We shall have no temptations in that direction but we need a force adequate to afford our nation police protection. Whether our present small armament is sufficient for this purpose, I am not in a position to know. Some there are who tell us that there is need of a considerable increase. If they are right, it would seem to be wise to follow their advice, as I sincerely hope we shall. If we are prepared sufficiently, well and good, but if we are not, as seems to be the case, it is surely the part of prudence and, there fore, the part of duty to prepare. But what I want to say to you chiefly this morning, is this, that preparedness is a great deal bigger word than can be expressed in terms of military defense. If you think that the problem of adequate preparedness is sovled so soon as you have a few more guns along the coast, and a few more soldiers in your army and a few more boats in your navy, you are very much mistaken. A home is more prepared for occupancy just because it has a good bolt on the door. And in your work may you be directed and inspired by the spirit of God, and may his benediction rest ever upon you. What I have said, will, I am sure, make clear the high valuation that I have put upon such an institution as this National Religious Training school, whereby you students are being equipped for a life service of the first importance to this nation.

JACKSON, A Successful Minister—His Trip to Pittsburgh. Rev. B. F. Jackson, assistant pastor of Trinidad Baptist Church, and editor of The Voice, made a flying trip to Pittsburgh, Pa. He left Washington Saturday and arrived in Pittsburgh early Sunday a. m., May 21. He was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Washington, 203 Shetland avenue, where he was highly entertained. The Misses Blanche L. and Ruth V. McDaniel met the Reverend at the station and accompanied him to their beautiful home in 209 N. Euclid avenue. He was elated over the social element of the people with whom he met. At 11 a. m., Rev. Jackson preached to an appreciative audience at the great Rodman Street Baptist Church, Rev. Dr. O. S. Simms, pastor. At 8 p. m. he preached to an inspiring audience at Mt. Ararat Baptist Church, Rev. Dr. W. J. Carter, pastor. With burning hearts the people of Pittsburg burgh heard Rev Jackson's message as he told them the sweet story of good news and glad tidings. On his return to Washington he stopped in Harrisburg and visited many old friends; also in Baltimore where he visited the Lee and Hayes University for the purpose of lecturing on the "Art of Public Speaking." REPUBLICAN FACTION IN THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA. From the Philadelphia, Pa., Tribune. During the session of the present Congress a determined effort has been made by the responsible citizens of the District of Columbia to secure legislation that would give the people of the Nation's capital some measure of self-government. Some success appears to have attended the effort, as a healthy sentiment among Representatives in the Congress had been created in its favor. The prejudice against such legislation, which had come over from the period of "the Feather Duster government" in which misrule such as was alleged to have led to the overthrow of the Reconstruction governments of the Southern States by the Ku-Klux-Klan murderers and incardiaries, appears to have subsided, for the most part. The old fear that the 100,000 Afro-Americans of the District of Columbia with some 20,000 adults eligible to vote, if they should take the trouble to qualify and vote, would bring about the alleged conditions of disorder, confusion and corruption of "the Feather Duster" days, appears to DR. JAMES E. SHEPARD, have been allayed by time and other things and a new condition had been fetched in by the new and better time and other things; and this in spite of the fact that the Afro-American Republicans of the District during the intervening time have kept up a constant wrangling among themselves for the control of the Republican organization, with a National committeeman and the local Federal patronage as the lure, with the putting of the worst foot forward all of the time, and with riot and confusion often Bedlamic in character. At such a time, then, and with local self-government for the District of Columbia a possibility, the Republican factions held a primary last week to select delegates and alternates to the National Republican convention, at Chicago, June 7, and for the selection of a National Committeeman. There were three tickets voted for at the primary, each headed by a white man, with a colored factotum for stool-pigeon. Instead of a clean canvass and vote all sorts of excesses were alleged in the conduct of the canvass and in the voting, and when it came to counting the votes there was so much riot and confusion that the count had to be postponed. The day before the election the successful candidate paid for the following colorline advertisement in the Washington Herald, a daily newspaper: ATTENTION. VOTERS. Hogan, Williston, Peyser and Robinson, Voters Information and 'Tickets at Their Respective. Headquarters. viz. Respective Headquarters White Men, at the Hogan White Headquarters, Seventh and Pennsyl- ronia Avenue, N. W. Vinna Avenue, N. W. Negro Men, at the Hogan Negro Headquarters, Sixth and Louisiana Avenue N. W. Refreshments. Auto to the polls election day, May 5, 1916. We do not know anything about Mr. Hogan; but we do know Dr. Williston, who is rated as one of the most successful physicians and most respectable Afro-Americans in the District of Columbia. That he should allow himself to be made a party to such color-line business shows how easily our best men give away the small things of principle that devour the big ones, as little maggots eat up big elephants as well as little ants. There were cast 7,246 vots, of which the Hogan-Williston ticket is alleged to have received 5,614; the Miller-Williams Calvin Chase ticket, 1,603; the Bradshaw-Marshall ticket, 1,029. The result is a fearful up-set and undoing of Mr. William Calvin Chase; who succeeded the late Perry H. Carson as Republican leader of the District of Columbia, when the present world was young. The point of the whole matter is this: If we have not learned how to political things decently and in order, and without confusion and riot and alleged corruption, with our best men and foot forward, in the District of Columbia, in the City of Washington, in the capital of the Nation, where can it be expected of Afro-Americans that they will do it anywhere else in the Great Republic? Aye, where! Shakespeare appears to have had in mind our condition and situation when he says: "The fault is in ourselves, Horatio, and not in our stars." It began to look that way. DETHEL LITERARY. United States Senator, Hon. Wesley L. Jones spoke at the Bethel Literary last Friday night, giving an illustrated lecture on the natural pos siblings of his own state, and incidentally, the great west. He was greeted by one of the largest and most appreciative audiences ever assembled in the A. M. E. Metropolitan Church. The Senator gave an illustrated stereopticon lecture, showing what nature had done for the state of Washington and incidentally, the great west. He showed by statistics, the unprecedented development of the empire state of the extreme northwest, and gave as almost convincing proof of real progress that the illiteracy of his state had been reduced to 2 per cent of the population. He showed conclusively that the West unhappened by senseless racial discriminations would certainly become the American Empire of the future and wanted all to come see, and partake of what God Himself had made for those who desired real progress along the lines of national development. The adjournment of the A. M. E. Quadrennial Centennial conference which closed in Philadelphia. Tuesday noon gave a distinguished number of prelates and laymen returning home a chance to listen to one of the most inspiring speeches that Bethel Literary has had this season. At the close of Senator Jones' speech he was supported in brief speeches by Rev. Reed, of Detroit, Mich., Rev. C. D. Dean, Benton Harbor, Mich.; Rev. Walter Crider, Benton Harbor, Mich.; Rev. T. A. Auten, Cambridge, Mass.; Mr. F. D. Lee, Jos. A. Johnson, and a number of local citizens. The Clinkscales-Tyler Chorus and Mr. Ferrell Gibbs added much to the pleasure of the evening by their rendition of several musical selections. Miss Marie A. D. Madre, president of the Literary, presided. THE NATIONAL TRAINING SCHOOL. CLOSING. The National Traininging School for Women and Girls, Lincoln Heights, will bring to a close, its most successful year when it, holds its Sixth Annual Commencement, beginning with Field Day, June 1 and ending with the Commencement Exercises Friday, June 2. 5.30 p. m. Miss Borroughs reports that the Institution has been crowded during the entire year. Students are enrolled from twenty-seven states and two foreign countries. The capacity of the school was over taxed at the very beginning. An additional building has been rented and used for dormitory purposes. The faculty consists of twelve teachers representing some of the finest institutions in the country. Rev. J. M. Waldron, D. D., pastor of Shiloh, Baptist Church, will preach the Baccalaureate Sermon on Sunday; May 28 at 3:30 p. m. The trustees of the institution will hold a meeting Wednesday, May 1. hold a memorial day exercise. The Field day exercises will be most interesting. Work that has been done in all departments will be on exhibition and the unveiling of the Lincoln Bust in the Lincoln Memorial Arch at the entrance to the grounds of the institution will be one of the features of the day. The arch was erected as an expression of appreciation for fifty years of freedom. was formally dedicated in September, 1914; but the marble bust was not completed. The commencement exercises will be held on the campus at 5:30 p. m. June 2nd. Besides music and orations by graduates, there will be an address by Mr. Watt Terry of Brockton, Mass. Mr. Terry is said to be the wealthl- est colored man in the North, paying taxes on over half a million dollars worth of property, and lives in one of the most exclusive sections of Brockton, adjoining the residence of an ex-governor of that state. He is intensely interested in Y. M. C. A. and church work, having given one thousand dollars toward the Y. M. C. A. building of his town. The late Booker Washington regarded his success in the North as one of the most striking illustrations of what the Negro can do if he sets himself about it with a determination to win, regardless of color or section. The people of Washington are invited to attend all of the exercises at the Training School and to encourage the work that is being done. BOY SCOUTS. The Boy Scout movement is the one agency that is working silently but surely for the best good of the boy. To begin early to form character and not to commence late to reform the criminal; to remove the reason for bad habits and to cultivate, good morals; to train the young man more and then have less cause to restrain the older man—these constitute an object, a purpose so big and so practical that my pen fails. The Southeast troop of which Mr. John Randall is Scoutmaster, is making rapid progress. On our recent tag day they sold eight dollars and ninety cents of tags. The members of the troop are Wm. McCoy, assistant Scoutmaster; Oliver Gray and Alba Clifford, patrol leaders; Geo Brown, Theodore Ceasor, Oliver Rogers, Robert Hawkins, Andrew Henson, Louis Shades, Manual Bruce, Wm. Greene, Wm. McCoy, Geo. Ross, Proctor Butler, Geo. Blakeley, Chas. Lawrence, Francis Dent, James Queen, John Boswell, Geo. Hawkins, Frank Harvey and Wm. Frederick Newman. The Burville troop, No. 504 of which Mr. C. S. Washington is Scoutmaster, went for a long hike on Sunday and reported a pleasant time. Two of the smallest members of the troop, Edward Washington and Fernan Sargeant, showed remarkable as salesmen on tag day. The Boy Scout concert held at Zion Baptist Church Wednesday night was a great success. Much praise is due Scoutmaster J. W. Smith and Assistant Scoutmaster J. W. Washington for their good work with the troops. We wish to thank you for the assistance given us on our tag day, and although we did not raise the amount asked for, we feel certain that you can see we are trying to make real men out of real boys through a real program. The mass meeting for Boy Scouts held at Florida Avenue Baptist Church on Friday evening was well attended. When the program was finished the Scouts were treated to ice cream and cake by the Scoutmasters' Club. Tag Day Report. Scoutmaster A. C Hill's Troop—$25.65. Scoutmaster N. F. Henry's Troop—$47.00.

ATTY. TIGNOR'S CONGRATULATIONS. May 23, 1916. Mr. W. Calvin Chase, Washington, D. C. Door Str. I desire to extend to you my sinere congratulations upon your election as delegate to the Chicago convention. Considering the fact that the opposing factions seemed willing to stoop to anything to conquer, your victory is a great one. Very respectfully, HARRY L. TIGNOR. BETHEL LITERARY. Tuesday night, May 30, will be Sunday School and Prohibition night. A New Department of the A. M. E. Church. At the Quadrennial and Centennial Conference of the A. M. E. Church just closed in Philadelphia, the conference created a Temperance Department and sent the name of Miss Marie A. D. Madre. president of Bethel Literary and Historical Association, to the Bishops' Council ffor appointment as the head of the department. If this great church had done nothing more than put on foot a movement for temperance it would justify itself for its existence. Elected at the General Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church in Philadelphia, Pa., Thursday, May 18th, by a Vote of 312. Special to The Bee. Philadelphia, Pa., May 18—The greatest sensation was created in the African Methodist, Episcopal Conference held in this city today when an effort was made to prevent the election of two bishops. The old bishops stated that they could do all the work that was needed but the delegates would not listen to those who were already bishops. It was a fight royal. The scene Wednesday night was a sensational one. Thursday was the climax. The leading candidates were Beckett, Ross, Fountain and Johnson. Three ballots were necessary before an election resulted. On the first ballot, Rev. William A. Fountain of Atlanta, Ga., led, followed closely by Dr. Ross of Baltimore. On the second ballot, Fountain dropped due to the opposing efforts of Bishop Chappelle; Ross and Beckett rose, but neither gained the necessary 287 for choice. On the third ballot Beckett and Ross made a landslide. Rev. Beckett, president of Allan University, Charleston, S. C., secured 377 votes; Rev. I. N. Ross, of Baltimore, 312; Rev. W. A. Fountain, 173; and Dr. W. D. Johnson, 269, necessary for choice. 306. Rev. I. N. Ross, the newly elected bishop, was born in Tennessee, reared in Ohio, and following his life's work in the leading cities of Ohio, Pennsylvania, Georgia, and the District of Columbia, the subject of this sketch has had a wide experience which has left its influence over a large section of this country. Rev. Dr. I. N. Ross was born January 22, 1856, in Hawkins county, East Tennessee. In 1861 his parents moved to Green county, Ohio, with ten children. His father was a sturdy, painstaking, thrifty farmer, a man of sobriety and integrity. His mother was a woman of strong personality and Christian piety. Four of the five sons to church the best of their lives. Three of the brothers have finished their course on earth and have gone on to claim their reward in heaven. The W. P. Ross was founder of the Divinity School, now Edward Waters College of Jacksonville, Fla. The Rev. O. P. Ross at the time of his death was dean of Campbell College, Jackson, Miss. The Rev. A. H. Ross was one of the founders of Waymans Institute of Harrodburg, Ky., and at the time of his death was the chairman of its trustee board. The Rev. I. N. Ross is the youngest and only surviving member of the well known quartette of "Ross" preachers. He received his early school training in his home-town, Bowersville. His early life life, like that of most farmer's sons, was spent in work on the farm, when he was not at school. On January 1, 1879, he was married to Miss Mary Robinson Fletcher of Elizabethtown, Tarding county, Ky. Mrs. Ross has been of great help to her husband in all his work. Six children, four of whom are living, blessed this union. The oldest son is a practicing physician in Cincinnati. The oldest daughter, who is a graduate of the University of Cincinnati, is a teacher in the public schools there. The youngest daughter, who is a graduate of the Teachers' College of Howard University, Washington, D. C., is a kindergarten teacher in Cincinnati; and the youngest son, of the Physical Culture Department of Harvard University; Cambridge, Mass., is a professor of Physical Culture in the public schools of Cincinnati. Therefore, Rev. Ross and family look upon Cincinnati as their home. Rev. Ross' career as a minister extends over a wide area, having over thirty-one years in the itineracy of the A. M. E. Church. His first charge was, in Ohio, whence he was transferred to Pennsylvania, again to Ohio, next to Georgia, and then to the District of Columbia; in all of which places he has held the leading charges, being at the present pastor of the Connectional Metropolitan of the District of Columbia. The above shows that Dr. Ross is not only local but connectional in all his service and work for the church. The Following tells its Own Story: Dr. Ross joined the Ohio Conference in 1880 and spent 25 years in the Third Episcopal District without any intermission or without missing an appointment, pastoring the following churches: Oberlin Mission, Ohio; St. Paul's A. M. E. Church, Washington, Pa.; Oil City and Titusville Circuit, Pennsylvania; Brown's Chapel, Allegheny City; and Wiley Avenue A. M. E. Church, Pittsburgh, Pa.; Warren Chapel, Toledo, Ohio; St. Paul's Church, Columbus, Ohio, where he entertained the General Conference in 1900; 5 years at Allen Temple, Cincinnati, Ohio; 3 years and 6 months at Big Pethel, Atlanta, Georgia, and 2 years and 9 months at Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, Washington, D. C., his present pastorate. All of these churches have been financially and spiritually quickened and improved. Some of them were relieved of their heavy indebtedness. Most prominent among those relieved were Brown's Chapel, Allegheny City, where a mortgage debt of $2,858.00 of 27 years standing, was entirely lifted and the mortgage burned.

Brown's Chapel, Oil City, was made almost new; ‘and the entire indebted- ness of these churches was paid off. The church at Toledo was. paid ex: tirely out of debt," ‘The indebtedness of St. Poul’s Church was changed and arranged so as to.make it practical to meet the obligations-as they came due, and the church ‘at Cincinnati was improved and remodeled on the inte- rior, competely from top to bottom, fAtted up with all modern appliances— ladies’ rest room, kindergarten depart- ment, King’s Messenger. department— at an expense of several hundred dol- lars which. was paid ‘off as the work advanced. At Big Bethel Church, At- lanta, Ga., his work as pastor was marked ali the way with cons¢cration and seriousness; ‘thousands of dollars were paid on the: indebtedness; the basement which had been untouched from the'time of the-erection of the church, was put in excellent condition for, regular use, electric ‘lights were installed throughout the church; the auditorium was freseoed and renovat- ed and the Interior remodeled. . His work at Metropolitan A. M. E. Church stands out up tothe present in bold relief. He has. installed steam heat and made otler needed improvements on the interior and exterior of the church; reduced its bonded. debt, -$2- 000, and greatly increased the congre- gation. ‘A glance at the above career also shows that Dr. Ross has steadily climbed upward from a mission to the heights of Africa Methodism. He has left each church which he has served in better condition than when he took charge. ‘He has been honored by the church in many ways.’ He has been a. dele- gate. to the General Conference each, time it, has met for’ the last twenty years; ‘he has been a trustee of Wil- berférce- University for more than’ twenty years, and is now elected per- manently to that position. This unt- versity has conferred upon him- the: degree of Doctor of Divinity, in 1903. Dr. -Ross has traveled extensively over the country, keeping in touch with all’ that goes to extend the king- dom of African, Methodism. He has always made his influence felt in ev- ery community.in which he ‘his lived, identifying .himsélf with all that tends to the uplift of humanity irres- pective of race or“creed. His record of -continued success and constant progressiveness has markéd him as a man of ability and power: : SHAKESPEARE PAGEANT: PRO. ‘GRESSES. If William Shakespeare could shake off ‘the mortal coil which entwines his frame+ and could come back to mother earth (o see the way every: body is lauding him, he would never want to leave us again. Now’ it-is that the public schools will do honor to the bard in the shape of a pageant which Is to. be given on the green swards of Howard Univér. ‘sity ‘on June 9 and 10 amid: the rural setting of the college campus. Away back in the days of the Bard pf Avon stager were a’ rarity and the moving drama not the exception. And so, with the pagent on Howard Univer sity.’ Of course there «willbe a stage but the main feature will be the rural setting as closely.resembling that in the days of Shakespeare as is. pos: sible. ‘The interest in the pageant manit- ested by the pupils in the’ schools, from the Kindergarten up, ig striking. Children are all eager to take part ‘and the‘managers of the various tab: leaus.are more concerned In eliminat- ing than they are in selecting. The response to the. call is’ encouraging, especially the sale of tickets at school bufldings. ‘The pagent. is being financed by the teachers. in’ the schools, and the spirit. with which they have taken hold bespeakes not alone success for the affair itself but a neat sum for the playgrounds: after expenses and refunds are’ made. ‘ The committees of the pageant are many.

It seems strange how falsehoods travel, it is about the only thing that can keep: a pace with wireless tele: raphy. Why liars are almost a3 nu- merous’ as grass bindes, only by no means not as harmless, You know there ate Several kinds of liars, the white one, the chronic. lar, the mis- chievous liar and the: spitfui, scandal- loving liar, Now this last kind is the one I*want to have a heart to heart talk about’ the person who lies with viclous Intent-and with an utter disre- gard of every sense of decency and moral obligation is the one who does go much harm. “As a rule this kind of Yar. is mostly found. among society folks. 1am here reminded of a rumor which started from one of those dis- eased minds, the object of which was to gratify petty spite by bringing dls- credit upon several young girls in this city. Jt started in the surburbs; the wires ‘were tapped: and in less time than it takes you to read this, It was being» discussed from Fourteenth street down Avenue De Nig, flirting in and out of the Howard theater. down Seventh, running through the elite cit- éles of ‘Arfiean Dominion Park. Now every person who. was being discussed Was as innocent and tree from abuse as birds of the air, . Now @ peculiar characteristic of thi class ee ars {3,-that, past masters ag they are themselves in this contemptible art,’ they resent with fury every thought, of others, lying to theni and scorn the truth with -vague suspicion and seek for Iles where none even ex- fst. : ‘ Now there is ahother set .of tIbbers who Me for ® personal benefit, the ob- Ject of which is to seciire an advantage ‘of some sort, or to escape’ embarrass- tment themselves. This kind of per- son was brought to my attention the other evening at Miss Quality’s bridge party. ‘Three tables were to be used. Now, as. fascinating as the game Is. and as.much thought as it requires. 1 noticed one. of the ladies sald to the other, “Kiddo, I'll-tell you all about it later on, you don’t know'hsif, Tam surprised at her being invited here.” Well this game at Mrs. Quality’s: was especially interesting, and the menu she served must have cost sonie. They all enjoyed themselyes and some who accepted the. hostess, hospitality said she could afford -it ‘as’ Mr. —~ was going with her, and he is a high sal- aried man. a ‘The conversation’ which commenced before the game about a certain lady being invited now continued all through the street until they'separated for different directions, Miss Fourhun- dred seemed to have been very much annoyed because she had telephoned for a cértain friend to meet her. She was seen in a merry conversation by another and: for fear this other woitld tell on “her, the report is circulated that Miss ——- is always foxing Mr: ——— everywhere he goes. Now this Kind of personal mischievous liar does not mean any harm but they have to Mle so-as to shield themselves. “Lack of moral stamina’ will account for the habit of ‘ying, with these -people. and the telling of untruths is more’a weak- ness than a voice. While I am on these Hars.{ might as well tell you of another class. that is the moral liar. 1 was forcefully re- minded of this.class during the recent political election, Now there were bellowing and yelling for & clean elec- tion, square election. “All they wanted was’ an honest déal, yet these self same people were the only ones why ought. their opponents’ tickets, crabl: @d ballot boxes, hired -touring cars, started fusses, made confusion every: where and restored to every convelva- ble thingexcept that which Was honest: clean and square. A certain degree of low. shrewdness Will be found among the moral liar. Wherever pos-, sible they selze upon an admitted fact as a basis to work'upon. twisting, add- ing and exaggerating without restraint until a harmless truth has been con- verted ‘into a dainty morsel for a scan- diemonger. Worst of all is the liar of this moral kind. ‘e Laat, but not the least, fs the chron- je Har. Now this class of liar uncon- sclously, without the least ¢ffort, and half believing thelr own untruths, par- Ucularly where their personal achieve: merits are concerned, or where the de- sire exists to create a good Impression. | ‘There are some who are fopever tel ng experiences, their good deeds and heir liberality.

From the Survey. “For health, justice and, co-opera- tion” read the new slogan of the Southern Sociological Congress; adopt- ed at the close of the fifth annual ses- ‘sion held-in New Orleans last. month. And these were the key topics of the meeting itself. Welcome, - indeed:to the 600 people in attendance were the repeated assurances, ‘ty ' northern speakers that in proportion to its population and wealth’ the South is to- day-evincing more social interest and effort than the North. More and more the discussions of the conference as well as its business, aro being shaped by a fast-growing group of earnest southern social, workers. And less and less is the conference coming to look upon itself as merely an annual meeting time, with-nothing to do between gatherings, As a result of its enthusisasm, ten selected emall- er cities in as many southern states will be the scenes within the year of social surveys and health campaigns. The New Chivalry-Health. has beon the topic of greatest prominence in the conference sessions for two years. The sections through which it will work for the next few years are Home, Health, Education and the Admin‘- stration of Law, The Church aid So- cial Service, Industrial Relations and Temperance, Race Relations and Juve- nile Life—Country and City. As evi- dence of, its expanding -activities, a monthly bulletin is to be issued.” Friendly relations between the white and colored races was one of the topics most earnestly “discussed. There was an element of the dramatic at one of the sessions when a southern :man, W. D. Weatherford, fleld executive secretary of Robert E. Lee Hall of the Blue Ridge Association and author. of several books on Negro life, stood be- fore his audience of southern men and womien and told them the grim truth. as he saw it, about lynch law. Lynch- ing has not greatly dimintshed in. the South, he sald; since the return of stable government In 1879., To qnote: “It-seems evident that the lynching habit in the South has, in gerieral out- Une, grown up as follows: First, men lynch (whipped Indians) for misde- meanors; then: they began to. whip white “men. who committéd crimes. Occasionally a Negro committed ‘some crime and was summarily punished. After the war, {t seemed necessary to mete out immediate and harsh punish- ment to Negro men who molested white women. Then {t was an easy step to lynch a Negro for murder, and finally. for smaller offence. From this it was no difficult step. to lynching a white man for an assault on a woman. then it became easy: to lynch a white man for murder, and 0° the proces: has” forward, ever increasing” in magnitude. Alter giving figutes showing that of the 3,337 lynchinngs between 1882 aud 1903,'2060. were Negroes, 1.169 whites, and’ 108 foreigners and’ Indians» and that only’ 34 per cent of the lynchings on colored men were for “the one aw- ful crime of assault on white women,” Mr. Weatherford declared that six specific things niust be done to remove the stigma of lynch from the South. One fs to make such changes in court procedure as will insure prompt and just punishment of criminals. ‘There is no doubt; he said, that many: lyncb- ings take place because of apprehen- sion that the cours will. dally with the case. ‘ Second, said Mr.’ Weatherford, “we wh{te men must start a crusade against the white vultures who-prey on color: ed girls. Immorality ° with colored women is not nearly so prevalent as it was before the war. In fact, compara- tively speaking, it is a thing of the past. but any man who knows the facts knows full well that for every white. woman assaulted by a Negro mati. there are a. number of colored girls who are’ seduced by white men. if there were fifty white wom®n as. sauilted by negroes in 1916, T’have not a doubt there were many’ times that many colored girls assaulted by low- down white white men. “It is not a truthful answer to say that all colored girls are open to ap- proach. That fs a We far blacker than the face of any Negro in the land. That there are thousands of modest and -self-réspecting Negro girls, every decent southern. man who kriows the race must acknowledge. We of the white raeé must brand every white man ‘who seduces @-colored girl as a fiend of. the same stripe as the Negro who rapes a white woman.” ‘The third thing-to be done, said Mr. Weatherford, is for the leaders of the Negro race “to preach a crusade against the Negro brutes who commit this terrible crime.” Fourth, white and colored alike must dnite ‘in: un- covering every criminal and bringing every ‘offender promptly and without evasion. Furthermore, said Mr. Weatherford, we must inspire new respect for law in the hearts’ of our younger sene- ration, and finally. “we must inculate a deep respect for personality it we are to remove’ the catises of lynching. We lynched Negroes. first because we thought we respected womanhood, but the Iiideous scenes, of. lynching so hardened our hearts as to make us old tq. lynch women, even white vomen. in whose defense we firat prac- iced -this horrible ,cruelty. * * *Per- sonality, I repeat, must ‘become. sac- ed in our'eyes ** * One has rights vecause he is a person, and as such is acred and valuable. ‘The law of the acrednéss of personality knows no lass distinctions, it knows no aristo- racy, and, ft knows no race differ- nce." \ Governor-elect C.

He was all that life meant to me. I wanted to devote my every thought to shielding him from the slightest unhappiness. Even though he was a strong man, he seemed to need my protection. Two years later we were married. I had begun to think of that awful experience only as a terrible dream. "Then my baby, Doris, came. And I had two to watch over. Their happiness was my one aim in life. For nine years we three were so happy together. Then one day; about a year ago, Robert mentioned his name. He had met that man somewhere. I hoped that their acquaintance was only passing, but they became more friendly. Robert spoke several times of having us meet, but for a year I avoided that meeting. "Meanwhile Robert's business troubles had begun. He—that man—lent him money and helped him in other ways. With their growing friendship I dreaded the wrecking of all our happiness. Then a business opportunity arose which would take us from New York. I urged Robert to accept this, and he finally decided to. It seemed as if some power were guarding the happiness of my husband and baby. "It was a Monday when Robert left for Cleveland. Tuesday night HE came. It was about the note which was due then. He recognized me and threatened to tell Robert everything. He taunted me, saying that Robert would believe anything against me because of my long silence. "He demanded that I come to his house at Long Branch the next day. I begged for mercy. I went down on my knees to him. I begged and begged and begged. He wouldn't even listen to me. He said he would make a pauper of Robert. "I knew that the $10,000 was due, and I didn't think that Robert could pay. I was mad with fear. I didn't care for myself. I only thought of Robert and my baby. Their happiness was in my hands. I was ready to pay any price to shield them. If by dying I could have saved them I would have died willingly. It would have been much easier. But there was only one way, and I had to save them. But Robert found out, and all my years of planning were shattered. "Last evening, as I lay half conscious in the hospital, I heard, the nurses discussing the testimony of a little girl. I learned it was my little girl and that my husband was on trial for murder and burglary. They didn't want to let me go, but I made them understand that my husband might be put to death unless the truth were known. "I've told you the truth. Can't you understand? He didn't go there to rob. He didn't go there for the money. Robert's not a thief. I am to blame. The fault is all mine. I've ruined the lives of my husband and baby. God forgive me! God forgive me!" In the Jury Room. THI the shrewdness of a practi- ted lawyer Arbuckle let the case for the defense rest with the testimony of May Strick- land. The effect on the jury of her story, he and all others in the court- room saw, was overpowering. Nothing could be added to it without harming the case for the defense; nothing that the prosecution might do, although the district attorney strove hard in his address, could detract from its immense effect on the twelve men who held the fate of the defendant in their hands. Judge Dinsmore's charge to the jury was eminently fair, all agreed, and the newspapers voiced that opinion. The whole city waited at the news tickerr it seemed, to hear the verdict. As is natural and usual in such case, public opinion was divided. Some argued that Robert Strickland was justified in killing the invader of his home (To be continued next week) THE FIRST AND ORIGINAL Parents' Association—The Largest and Best in the City—President Makes an Appreciative Address—Miss E.. A. Chase. Commended—President Russell Applauded. The eighth anniversary of the "Original Association of Patrons of Schools" was celebrated Friday night, May 19, 1916, at the Alfred Jones School, corner First and L streets northwest. Eight years ago the principal, Miss Eva A. Chase, organized the Home and School Association, the first of its kind to be founded in the District of Columbia. During these years it has grown to be a flourishing and worthy society. The purpose of which is to bring parent, pupil and teacher into perfect harmony in pursuing the daily task of educating the colored youth of this city. Through the efforts of the association a Victrola, costing $67.50, has been purchased for the Jones building, shoes for indigent pupils, cost of printing and refreshments for parents' meeting. The association is self supporting. The report of the business manager, Mrs. A. Dean, submitted at the meeting showed a total of receipts $208.65; expenditures, $147.98; balance on hand, deposited in a local bank, $60.68. Reports were read by the chairmen of various committees, showing a healthy and progressive condition in all branches of the work. The president of the association. Dr. A. A. Russell, who presided with calmness and was discreet enough not to deliver the speaker's address, when he introduced them. The program was as follows: Invocation, Rev, A. J. Tyler, pastor of Mt.

Blair, president of the board of education, was very inspiring to the audience; his address was of great benefit and made a lasting impression. He promised the association the use in the future of an assembly hall; called attention to co-operation of parent and teacher, and urged the parents to do their duty at home, and not pray for Monday morning to come to relieve them of the responsibility of their children. His address was well received and loudly applauded. Mr. Blair seemed to be thoroughly interested in the work of the Parents Association and congratulated them and the principal of the school for their large turnout and the excellent reports of the committees. Mrs. Cook suggested that during the summer recess now approaching that the home be made a combination school. She showed how much good could be done; that both' parent, pupil and teacher would be helped at the beginning of the next school year. The other addresses were brief, and addressed to the pertinent, questions of home and school training. Miss Eva A. Chase organized the first Parents' Association in the city, and all others followed, white and colored. The people in this city highly commend her for her noble work, and applauded President Russell on the success the association has made. ELECTION OF BECKETT AND ROSS. From 9 o'clock a. m. to 7 p. m. Thursday, 18th instant, in continuous session, the Twenty-fifth (Centennial) General Conference elected its two bishops, Rev. W. W. Beckett, president of 'Allen University, South Carolina, and Rev. Isaac Nelson Ross, of the Baltimore Conference. Both have seen long and conspicuous service; the former four years as general officer as secretary of Missions prior to his four years as college president; the latter with a record for thirty-five years pastor and church builder. Their choice was a victory for the better elements in the church over men whose chief advantage was their to and reliance on the tricks of the politician. There were three ballots cast before there was any election. At the close of the second ballot several candidates formally withdrew and word was passed along to elect Beckett and Johnson. Rev. W. T. Vernon and Rev. C. H. Carey of Chicago, both candidates, were heard to express their belief and doubtless it would P. A Satisfied Patient. All parlors in the city operated Dental Surgeons.

So much as to prospect. I trust by that time men who believe in the craft of the politician will keep out of the pulpit; and thus make a general conference more like a church congress than a political nominating convention of the worst kind.

Pray to your God in earnestness. The one that loves you yet. For He alone can take away The cause that makes you fret. When briars of ill-treatment Stick your feet and make you fall. Get up and bear your burden. Be it large or it small. Stand firm upon the mark you've made And ask Him what to do. When soon the clouds of fate drifts on That blotted you with strife. Pull up your sail and drift along Mid sweetness that's in life. —By I. GUSTAVUS R. FORD. A GREAT FIGHT. Two Negro Bishops; Born in Slave Time, Conquered Poverty, Were Elected at the African A. M. E. Conference—General Officers Elected—Conference Adjourned May 23d. Philadelphia, May 23d.—Two Negroes, born in the South-in the days of slavery before the war, were elected at the fifteenth day session of the twenty-fifth Quadrennial Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church which is now holding its sessions in Old Mother Bethel on Sixth street below Pine. Balloting began in the morning and lasted all day. There were thirty aspirants for Episcopal honors which was exciting throughout; the two bishops elected who are now receiving congratulations from all over the world were Rev. W. W. Beckett of Charleston, S. C., and Rev. I. N. Ross of Baltimore, Md. Three ballots were necessary to elect the bishops. The final vote narrowed down to four candidates which resulted as follows: Beckett, 377, Ross, 312; Fountain, 173; Johnson, 260. In 1859 there came into the world on a big plantation on Edisto Island S. C. William Wesley Beckett. He was the fifth child of Thomas and Martha Beckett, slaves on the plantation, and he, too, therefore, was a slave. His parents bowed to the will of a task master, and had it not been for the civil war this boy might have grown up in slavery. But one day in 1863, the President of the United States signed a proclamation that William Beckett and all other, Negroes were to be free. William Wesley Beckett made the most of his freedom. Now he owns a big plantation not far from the one on which he was born on which is cultivated cotton, and tobacco, utilizing all the modern machinery used on plantations. He owns a number of houses in the vicinity too. For 10 years Beckett went to school in Atlanta and it was not until 1891 that he was graduated from the Gammon Theological Seminary in that city. He served 16 years in charge of a church at Charleston, S. C. In 1908 he was elected secretary of Home and Foreign Missions of the A. M. E. Church, and lived in Brooklyn, N. Y. While there he took a post-graduate course at Columbia University in the hope that he might have time to get --- House & Herrmann of all kinds and description, House and Herrmann is the place to visit.

To the Citizens of Waco, Texas, and Adjoining Towns, Who Burned Jes- sie Washington, an _18-Year-Old Negro, On the Public Square, May 14, 1916... . The day of silence has passed and only a person, of decency would re- frain from indulging in harsh and bit- ter wotds when they see fifteen thou- sand merciless maniacs swoop down uupon one defenceless créature just be- cause they have the power. At such a criéis as this, only the highest degree of manhood would serve to. lessen: the feelings of the vic- tim's race. 7 It is not’ my. intention to break the minute ties binding the two raées, nor is it my intention to yleld to such an onslaught upon human nature, for even the volcanoes when uncapped wit give forth lava that they have contained ‘for years. "There is no doubt but what the deed committed by Washington was one of the cruelest éver recorded upon the criminal records in that section of the country, but that fact in no ~ay servés to justify such an: inhuman. action as those assassins. indulged in. If lynching is tobe the fate of every Negro who breaks the law, if the Ne- gro is inferior to you (and inferiority takes in mental and physical ability), why is it that he is deliberately un- armed, carried into ‘some place where he cannot fight for bis life and ten or fifteen thousand brutes mercilessly tortue him while he is in this helpless condition? ‘The Negro himself is in a great de- gree responsible for such ruthless ac- tion, and each day Sees these actions grow more strained and unpledsant. Today has’ become. the day of hon- esty and action. and a ery for help from the Nogro raco at jarge, torn from the peaceful scenes of liberty and justice by the wild hysterles of murder, slander and ill treatment,-has become more necessary for solution. ‘There will never be justice as long. as one race peacefully siibmits to the infurite injustices of the other, and the only solutiow that wisdom could xive for such @ problem would be re- sentment. y If this is a land of the’brave and a home of the free: if this s a demoe- racy whore all men have a hand in the law, and where justice {s-meastired to, all the same, then give me Europe or Mexico. because they are far more humane in their -actions. President Woodrow Wilson today wears a crown of glory for his ability, to, keep’ this countrs at peace with other warring nations, but what good has a man achiéved as long as he keeps his household out ‘of strife with. others and there is even greater trouble within? If the deeper meanng of Negro lite is Inching and. other similar horrors, then it would have been better for him to have remained in slavery. Tt Is disgraceful, indeed, to see this country quibble over American dignity and pride, demand respect for the Stars and Stripes, and, then wilfully allow the. innocent to be trampled in the dirt within its own imits and nev: er raise a hand in the defence of these helpless’ creatures. : ‘The Negro’s foot has been on the soft pedal too’long: ‘he has mlserabiy| and cowardly submitted to the wicked actions of this country: he has too long confided his confidence in the master Tne (as you say); he has held his head above the bloodshed of his fellowmen without saying a word or doiix a déed to condemn these ynfu- rite crimes. ‘ Whether these words éoineide with the sentiment of your section of the country. T care not, because 1 know that they are the. truth and If the slt-| tation was left in my hands T ‘would not, sit fdly by and walt for providence to ‘work some great miracle, but T would strike ‘the death blow at the root of lynching and drive it from the Jand once and for always, no matter what the restilt would’ be.” Ttmust be remembered that the Ne- gro is a citizen of this country by na- tivity and not by choice; to Ker he has . + given his labors for years and received no pay; in defence of her flag he ha: shed his blood and that’ freely; te sustain her high integrity he has.con tributed whatever was demanded of him, At all times he has been faithful and reliable. Hé has never“been ir the ranks of the socialists and an: archists in their attacks upon social order and free institutions,, but, stil this. avaits them nothing. T say this, not.as a plea for mercy but-as a demand for respect. It rebellién-against. such, actions {s the only means of cure, then“T say to the Negro race at large. rebel. (Signed) 1, GUSTAVUS R.
