IF IT'S NEWS, IT'S IN THE BEE, FOR THE BEE IS A NEWSPAPER. THE BEE WASHINGTON Wasbington's Best and Least ing Negro Newspaper That's THE BEE. VOL. XXXVII, NO. 7 WASHINGTON, D. C., SATURDAY JULY 15, 1916 HEADS THE NEW SCHOOL BOARD Rev. J. Van Schalck, Jr., Named President at Reorganization—E. H. Daniel, Vice President—New Head of Board of Education Has Long Been Interested in Educational Matters—Point of Dispute Arises Over Selection of Textbooks. At the reorganization meeting of the board of education at the Franklin School, the Rev. John Van Schalck, Jr., one of the three newly chosen members of the board, was elected president for the ensuing year. His opponent for the honor was Earnest H. Daniel, for years a member of the board, who was subsequently chosen vice president unanimously. For president Dr. Van Schalck obtained five votes and Mr. Daniel four. Though the result was not wholly unexpected, it was somewhat of a surprise. Mr. Daniel is the oldest member of the board in point of service and served as vice president last year. It was thought his ripe experience made him a favourable position. John B. Lerner nominator of Mr. Daniel had put forward a motion to make the election unanimous, when Mrs. Susie Root Rhodes asked permission to name Dr. Van Schalck, upon which Mr. Larner withdrew his motion. Ballots were cast and the announcement of election made. A minute later Secretary Harry O. Hine cast a ballot at direction of the new president for the election of Mr. Daniel as vice president. Interested in Educational Matters. Dr. Van Schalck has long been interested in educational matters and is a man whose studies have been conducted along both religious and secular lines, he having been for years pastor of the Church of Christ, Universalist. It is felt by officials that he will fill the duties of his office well, with "efficiency" as his watchword. Dr. Van Schalck supplants Henry P. Blair as a board member. The other two members, Mrs. Margarita Spaulding Gerrick, replacing Mrs. Edith Kingman Kern, and Dr. J. Hayden Johnson, who takes the place of Dr. Creed Childs, were present at the meeting and cast votes. Will Shortly Name Committees. Dr. Van Schalck will shortly name committees for the coming year, though the next meeting the board will not be held in all probability until the first Wednesday in September. A busy year must be faced and a special meeting may be called previous to that time. A point dispute at yesterday's gathering was the adoption of recommendations by Superintendent of Schools Thurston as to textbooks to be used in the schools in the coming sessions. Ordinarily, this matter would have been disposed of before the expiration of the old board, and the committee on textbooks, composed altogether of members familiar with the needs of the schools, would have conferred with the superintendent on the proper recommendations, with full knowledge, so that the passage by the board would have been only a formality. Mrs. Rhodes Makes Objection. As the recommendations were presented yesterday, Mrs Rhodes, a member of the committee on textbooks, objected to adoption until the new committee had a chance to confer on the various clauses. She regarded the new members of the committee as too unfamiliar with the situation to pass upon the recommendations offhand. Mr. Larner urged the immediate passage of the communication, but Mrs. Rhodes held out for a meeting of the committee to which Mr. Thurston should explain any changes from last year's recommendations. Finally, the paper was referred to the textbook committee with power to act. Fountain Peyton asked that colored cadets caring to participate be allowed to march in the parade accompanying the bodies of colored troopers killed in the Carrizal fight to their resting place in Arlington, and that their equipment be issued them. This equipment, Mr. Thurston pointed out, has been accounted for and stored. Accordingly, the board conditionally granted the request, and the colored cadets will be allowed to march if the proper officers have time to arrange for the issuance of equipment. G. U. O. OF ODD FELLOWS. the Coming. B. M. C. September 11 to 16. — Abrams and Coleman Selected as the Chairman of Delegates and Choice of the District for Honors at the Coming Meeting. At the meeting of deligates composed of representative from each of the 31 lodges in this city, held at Odd fellows' Hall on Monday night the meeting was called to order by the temporary chairman, Dr. J. C. Norcow, of the Senior Lodge in this city; every branch was represented but No. 99, and interest was at fever heat to the choice of chairman of deletion. Quite an argument was made the present D. G. Master Charles Hill to lead the forces and his marrery ably presented by Editor H. Slaughter and others who suggested at by virtue of his official position the District, he was the logical canate. Capt. H. C. Miller of Patrarchy No. in a few words, named the very silent recording secretary of the B. M. C. Committee, Walter J. Abrams, delegate of Lodge 1965, which was ably seconded by Jas. H. C. Coleman, chairman of the B. M. C., and unanimous choice of Rising Sun Lodge, No. 1356 to this B. M. C. as delegate. The vote was polled and Abrams was elected by the vote of 16 to Grand Master Mill, 14. Dr. J. C. Norwood was unanimously elected as vice chairman; William H. Webb, of Lodge 1369, secretary, and Jas. W. Richardson of Lodge No. 1185, treasurer. A badge committee was appointed, consisting of Brothers Lovett, Booker and Jackson. Upon motion of Lieut. C. J. Pollard the delegates by a vote of 16 to 11, and not voting, indorsed ex D. G. Master. Coleman as a choice of the District House as a member of the S. C. of M. management. Needless to say, Brother Coleman and his committee are working strenuously to make this meeting a success. Over $2,000 has been subscribed by the Lodges and Households and the citizens are requested to co-operate, as more than 4,000 will be there. TRINITY CHURCH. Reception to Dr. Corrothers and Bishop Caldwell—Citizens of Mt. Pleasant Busy. The most beautiful residential section of Washington city are crowding into the services at Trinity Church, without regard to denomination. One prominent school man of Mt. Pleasant proposes that the citizens of Mt. Pleasant tender Bishop J. S. Caldwell a reception in connection with Dr. Corrothers as an evidence of appreciation for having sent Dr. Corrothers to serve this section of Washington city. He claims that no one denomination can lay claim to Dr. Corrothers as he stands for all that is best in the spiritual, intellectual and material uplift of the people. The services last Sunday were of the most pronounced character, and largely attended by people from all sections of the city. Sunday morning, July 16th, 1916, at 11 o'clock, the pastor will preach upon the subject, "The Reward of Dewind Association," and at 8 o'clock p. m., "The Magnification of the Cross." There has been preaching there every night this week, attended by a large crowd of young and promising Christians. The first social entertainment for the new conference here will be held Monday night, July 17th, 1916. Many of Washington's foremost citizens will appear. Friday evening, July 21st, 1916, the first of a series of independent mass meetings will be held at Trinity church, at which time every phase of the rights of the 12,000,000 negroes in this country will be discussed and a propaganda outlined to force the leaders of the various political parties to recognize the rights of the negro and to accord him recognition due to his political strength. The public is invited. QUESTS HOTEL DALE, CAPE MAY, NEW JERSEY. Mr. I. Jackson, U. S. N.; Mrs. Dora Lytle, Chester, Va.; Mr. W. B. Johnson, Philadelphia; Mr. E. D.

It has demonstrated its usefulness to the community, the state and to the nation. It is pertinent though, at this time, to give serious thought to the question of leadership. In our local community we have all recognized that the problem is not one of boys but of men. Some local leaders solve the problem. They are finding it less difficult now to get volunteers to agree to devote some of their time M. H. JUDGE F. L. SIDDONS. A Real Friend of the Oppressed and a Humanitarian.

The registration of Satterlee Troop No. 500 expires on the 3rd. All boys belonging to this troop will automatically cease to be Boy Scouts unless they re-register. Any boys wishing to become members of this troop will please apply to Scoutmaser A. L. Hill, 937 R street northwest or come to the meeting at Satterlee House next Tuesday evening at 7:30. Scoutmaster N. F. Henry carried several members of the Satterlee House Troop for a hike last Saturday. They followed the canal as far as the Chain Bridge. Did you see the Boy Scouts assisted the members of the Tuesday Evening Club on the 15th? On account of the weather the Lawn Fete, which was to be held on the 10th, by the S. E. Troop, under Scoutmaster John Randall and assistant Scoutmaster William McCoy, had to be postpone until the The S. E. Troop is doing fine work and promises to be one of the best troops in the City; thanks to Scoutmaster Randall and Assistant McCoy. Scoutmaster Lee C. Brown, of troop No. 505 is doing splendid work with his boys, despite the fact that his Assistant, Clarence Bryson, is out of the city. Mr. Brown deserves much credit. All Boy Scouts who wish to take their 2nd class examination, notify Scoutmaster A. L. Hill, on or before the 18th instant. Mr. Claude Amos carried Scoutmaster A. L. Hill and N. F. Henry out to the Joseph F. Amos Estate—"Four Oaks," about 20 miles from Washington near Centerville, Md., to inspect a Camp site offered by his sister Mrs. R. L. Pendleton, for the use of the Boy Scouts during the summer. Because of the general Preparations move one camping program, had to be changed however, we hope to establish camps at the Hunter Farm, the Amos Estate, and Cedar Hill as soon as definite arrangements can be made. The Georgetown Troop is getting along very nicely and hope to have some candidates for the 2nd class test to be held soon. Thousands of people are wondering what Boy Scouts will do in case of war. At such a time we can all feel gratified that the Boy Scout training is such that it will not be found necessary to make any changes in our methods or policies. It should be understood, first of all, that the Boy Scout Movement will continue its program, in boy's work, along the lines that always followed. We are confident our method of training boys will justify the support the Movement has received. Men need Scouting as well as boys. Why not become a Scoutmaster yourself and assist a worthy cause?

During the past year, the pastor announced, ninety-two persons have joined the congregation, and during the thirty years of his pastorate he has received into the fellowship of the organization 3,569 persons. It also was pointed out that the church is free of debt and that shortly preparations will be made for the observance of the fifty-second anniversary of the congregation. WEST WASHINGTON. Rev.

In these days of race emphasis on national and race differences it should be useful to recall the achievements of a man who has not dowered with the features, of the Caucasian, enjoyed no bringing up in Indo-European speech, and had the disadvantage of being trained from birth to maturity in the war years. Dark Continent. There is a profound lesson, mingled with much that is romantic, in the career of Lewanika. King of Barotse Land, whose death has been reported from Livingston. His is a story which needs to be read and thought over in times like these, when lines of nationality are being, drawn more closely than ever, and when we seem to be threatened with a recrudescence of the old kind of race feeling based on mere differences of physiognomy, color, and speech. It is the blunder of this method of estimating men that it catches at the unessentials and ignores the essentials. People not much accustomed to thinking allow themselves to be overimpressed with the visible concretes off things, and make little or no allowance for that which does not "hit" them through their organs of sense. Faces noticeably different from ours strike us as signs of inferiority, mainly because they are different; native capacities and endowments of mind not on the surface. We are not to regard as nonexistent. There are enough of these differences in the "foremer" our own race stock to betray us into underestimates of him. How much the more do we look down on the African, the Chinaman, and the Japanese! It has been supposed that these surface differences are indications of profound unlikenesses of physical and mental make-up. How close in the association, and how deep does it go? The whole trend of modern anthropological science is in the direction of minimizing race differences and magnifying race likenesses.—Edmund Noble, in the Southern Workman: WEARS NO MAN'S RING Louisville, Ky., July 10.—Thomas B. Cromwell, political writer for The Cincinnati Enquirer, has the following article in his paper, date of July 9, in reference to the political situation in Kentucky and Phil H. Brown, editor of the Hopkinsville Saturday News and delegates from the State at Large to the recent Republican National Convention: "Speaking of the Hert-McCulloch row, the Christian County Republican committee poured no oil upon the, troubled waters, when it endorsed Phil H. Brown's action in voting against Colonel John W. McCulloch or rather in voting for Colonel A. T. Hert, at Chicago. The friends of McCulloch throughout the State hold to the opinion that the Owensboro man's re-election in Kentucky was regular; that it should have been ratified at Chicago, and that it would have been ratified had Ludlow Petty, M. L. Heavrin and Phil Brown, the latter the only negro on the delegation, remained loyal to their Kentucky vote and pledge. Therefore the resolution adopted last Saturday at Hopkinsville, the negro delegate's home, is offensive to a large number of Republicans, but no more so than the scathingly sarcastic articles penned by Brown and published in his weekly paper against Chairman Ed. T. Franks. Brown stated as the first of a dozen reasons for voting for Colonel Hert. He has been my personal friend for 20 years.' Whereupon a friend of the Republican National Committee offered as a suggestion that he muzel Brown for the welfare of the Republican party, but another, reading the twelfth reason ventured that the Louisville man might not be able to do that. The twelfth reason reads: 'Although I am a negro I cannot and will not wear anybody's ring in my nose; and if this be treason make the most of it.' If Hughes wins the Republicans in Kentucky will have to reckon largely with Brown, since by reason of the recongnition accorded Colonel Hert, who has been made a member of the sub-committee of the National Committee to direct the campaign, the negro may be said to be only one removed from the top.' Brown cast the deciding vote which elected Colonel A. T. Hert, a Louisville capitalist, making him National Committeeeman from Kentucky. REV. PAIR. Sunday evening, July 9th, Rev. J. D.

History in every country is so taught as to magnify that country. Children learn to believe that their own country has been always in the right and almost always victorious, that it has produced almost all the great men and that it is in all respects superior to all other countries. Since these beliefs are flattering they are easily absorbed and hardly ever dislodged from instinct by later knowledge. To take a simple and almost trivial example: The facts about the battle of Waterloo are known in great detail and with minute accuracy, but the facts as taught in elementary schools will be widely different in England, France and Germany. The ordinary English boy imagines that the Prussians played hardly any part; the ordinary German boy imagines that Wellington was practically defeated when the day was retrieved by Blucher's gallantry. If the facts were taught accurately in both countries national pride would not be fostered to the same extent, neither nation would feel so certain of victory in the event of war and the willingness to fight would be diminished. It is this result which has to be prevented. Every state wishes to foster national pride and is conscious that this cannot be done by unbiased history. The defenseless children are taught by distortions and suppressions and suggestions. The false ideas as to the history of the world which are taught in the various countries are of a kind which fosters strife and serves to keep alive a bigoted nationalism. If good relations between states were desired one of the first steps ought to be to submit all teaching of history to an international commission which should produce neutral textbooks free from the patriotic bliss which is now demanded everywhere.—Bortrand Rus sell in Atlantic Monthly. SCENIC BEAUTY OF ALASKA A Grand Panorama That Reaches its Climax in Mount McKinley. A careful reading of literature pertaining to Alaska prepared me in part for what the journey was bound to disclose, but seeing is the only sense that can give knowledge and secure appreciation of the grandeur, the sublimity, the fascinating beauty of mountain, sea, stream, flord, falls, islands, forests, cloud and the glorious color effects which the dazzling rays of the sun bring into existence. In connection with all these is a land of enchantment for all who love and can appreciate nature. Cook inlet, with its arms and reaches, has many bewildering channels, resulting from the numerous rugged islands. The forbidding and embattled shores rising into lofty mountains and at present swathed in white almost to the water's edge possess a virility, a grandeur and sublimity which require the most poetic imagination and most facile pen even faintly to portray. The grand panorama reaches its climax in Mount McKinley, monarch of the North American continent. With its altitude of 20,460 feet it stands alone in lofty pride and is distinctly visible from the vessel notwithstanding the very great distance. This fact well establishes the quality of the clarified and invigorating atmosphere of this far north country. The Thousand islands with all their beauty would scarcely serve as a prelude to the surpassing grandeur and lovelliness of the many thousand islands that adorn the 3,000 miles of Alaskan coast. The flords of Norway, the furfared glaciers of Switzerland, cannot compare with their counterparts to be found in Alaska in number, variety, size, color effect and all the qualities that give charm to these works of nature. - Ion, A. Barton Hebburn in Leslie's. Eggs and Onions If less meat, shall we eat superbled eggs after the manner of the Albanians? It testifies to the strength of their digestions. An equal number of eggs and onions are boiled together for about three hours daily on ten successive days, the eggs being slightly pricked after each boil so that the juice of the onions thoroughly permeates them. They are naturally as hard as bullets at the end of this treatment, but an Albanian will bolt down a huge plateful, helped down by lashings of olive oil, and then clamor for a second helping.—London Chronicle. Windward and Leeward Isles. The Leeward islands are so called because they are less exposed to the prevailing northeast trade wind than the Windward islands near by, while the Windward islands in turn derive their name from the fact that they are the most exposed to these winds of all the Lesser Antilles. The Sure Tip. "How did you get that new suit?" "Had a sure tip on a horse race." "I never knew one of those sure tips to pan out." "Neither did I. So I didn't play it.

Editor of The Bee; Respecting the dollar sermons which are being thundered from most of the negro pulpits in Washington, permit me through the columns of your valuable paper to say a few words along that line. To begin with, the average avari- clous negro preachers of today are nothing more or less than "good-time sports," who profess to be "Divinely called to preach_Christ and Him crucified. The hot summer's sun and chilling winds of the winter are the two spirits which have called them to preach. They consider it very nice to preach in the summer in order to keep from working in the hot sun, and they think it the best of all to be sitting in a warm, comfortable room in the cold winter while the poor members of their churches are up and at it, early and late, during the two seasons of the year only to support them in throwing off "slang from their halls. Of course there are some exceptions, certainly there are, but the average negro pulpits in Washington are well supplied with "good-time sports" who are in the preaching business to get money easy without working for it. They have what may be termed "a Preachers' Union." These holy disciples of Christ meet every Monday. And in this sandhedriem each one's salary has been fixed. Their salaries range from one hundred twenty-five ($125.00) dollars to one hundred fifty ($150.00) dollars a month. Now pray tell us, where is the negro that does one hundred, and twenty-five to one hundred and fifty dollars worth of preaching in a month; or say, four or five days. Furthermore, since they are preaching for a set salary, they should be compelled to be on the job every Sunday. And the intelligent and decent members of the churches whose pulpits are being filled by these "bullies" of the Gospel should serve notice on them that the pulpit is not the place for slang; and if he feels that he can't respect the members, or the sacred pulpit, he must get out. Again be it said, to the everlasting shame on these preachers, that there must be a certain amount of money collected before they will give the Holy Communion on the memorable and most solemn occasions. Why, sad to think of it, the Holy Communion is no more to some of these Washington preachers than an ordinary "plicnic." That is the one service which ought to be free from collecting money. That service should be given entirely to God. Am I not right? The true Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ is soldom heard nowadays. Sermons to get money is the things which come first in most of the churches of the country. The unadulterated Gospel of Christ—but they need not expect it from these "good-time sports" who are in the preaching business only for what they can get out of it. J. C. CUNNINGHAM. WHEN WILL PEACE COME? "When they shall say peace and safety, then cometh sudden destruction."—Bible. There shall be wars and rumors of wars, the nations shall be angry. Fighting for gain, fighting for greed, some fighting for right and justice. "Old Mars" steps forth his terrible sword bathed in human gore; The world's war mad. Peace? Who speaks of peace? Yes, peace may come for just a season. We pray for peace; we puny men would stem the mighty tide. The Pope commands, the President calls the neutrals all to prayer; The Nations are angry. The Lord of hosts stretches forth His hand and man is helpless. Engines of war belch forth great flames and cause the earth to tremble. From above the clouds great fiery darts cause men to hide like moles. Poor man is helpless. Beneath the seas great monsters hide to blow ships to destruction. Man die like flies on land and sea, the world seems mad from slaughter. Deaf, dumb and blind, too, pleas for peace, men's hearts are bent on murder; They show no mercy. The deadly implements of war spread death and desolation, Make foul refuse of living men, lay wastes of farms and cities; Widows, orphans, gaunt old men are left forlorn, neglected. The curse of hatred. The echoes of "The Hymn of Hate" will live for years to come. To turn men's hearts away from peace to thoughts of vengeance. The guns be spiked, the swords be sheathed, real peace will tarry, Peace will not come. Peace will not come. We pray for peace; there'll be no peace while men still hate each other. Nor yet while greed and selfishness still dominate the nations. Until men learn how to forgive, to love and live and to let live. Peace will not come. JAMES CONWAY JACKSON. "THE ESCAPE."

The Florida Avenue Baptist Church in a Turmoll—The Preacher Says That He Was Not Invited—Deacon Langham Says That He Was—Much Dissatisfaction With Rev. Taylor—His Resignation Will Be Demanded—A Split If He Refuses To Realm. Last Sunday afternoon the vicinity of the Florida Avenue Baptist Church was a scene of much excitement. For a long time there has been a growing feeling of dissatisfaction against the pastor, Rev. W. A. Taylor. The funeral of Edward Towles, Jr., was announced to take place last afternoon in the Florida Avenue Baptist Church, under the auspices of Meredian Lodge, 6, F. A. A. M., and Rev. H. A. Taylor was to have preached the funeral sermon. After waiting a few minutes for an escort of the officials of the church to usher the body in, suddenly, the Lodge was informed that the pastor didn't know anything about the funeral and he had gone home. Worshipful Master Wright directed the pallbearers to take the body into the church where, Deacon Langhorn was, who stated from the pulpit that he was informed by Bro. Towles, father of the deceased, on Wednesday, July 5th, that it was the request of the deceased that his funeral be held in Florida Avenue Baptist Church Sunday at 2 o'clock. The Deacon informed Mr. Towles that he saw no reason why his request could not be granted and that he would see the pastor, Rev. Taylor. Thursday night, July 6th, he saw the pastor and inquired with much feelings and to listen in his eyes, while the family of the deceased also let drop many tears while he was relating the circumstances of the death of the deceased son of Mr. Towles, who was an active member of the church, and the request of the father is that the funeral be held Sunday, July 9th, in our church. Deacon Langhorn stated that the pastor told him that it would be all right. "This is placing me in a very embarrassing position to make an apology for some one else." There 's much feeling among the members of the church against Rev. Taylor and his resignation may be asked, for at any time. There is an eruption rising throughout the church against the pastor, because of his attempt to remove a Miss Toliver, superintendent of the Sabbath School. Miss Toliver is loved by nine-tenths of the membership and if this, opposition to her continues, no telling where this night will end. Rev. W. A. Taylor has been pastor of the Florida Avenue Baptist Church about two years or more. The church was sailing along nicely until the executive business of the trustees was infringed upon, and the authority of the deacons and other officers of the church were about to be taken charge of by the pastor and his favorite few against the will of the majority. Many of the members are talking about returning of their old church on Vermont avenue if Rev. Taylor is not removed. MILITARISM VERSUS REASON. Defense Statement of E. Stanley Oxley of Bristol, England, at Court Martial at Chiseldon on April 26, 1916. One of 700, now undergoing punishment, who resisted the Conscription Act. I trust that whoever reads this will remember that I write as a civilian, not as a soldier. I am accused of disobeying an order. The accusation is true. HERE ARE MY REASONS: I believe every man to be responsible for his own deeds. To me that is a first principle of life. Therefore I cannot be compelled to do things simply because another orders them. I believe a man's action should be guided entirely by his reason. That is why I cannot be compelled to act as another dictates. Especially do I believe that a man should not fight unless after sincere thought he is convinced that his cause is just. That is why I cannot obey the orders of fighting men. I believe in liberty of conscience. If it is wrong to force men to join the church and pray for victory, it is equally wrong to force men to join the army and fight for victory. As a rationalist I cannot be compelled to support that in which I do not believe. I believe, as long as men fight at the dictates of others there will be wars, and the cause with the greatest violence will win; but if each man is only prepared to fight when he is convinced of the justice of his cause, the cause with the greatest justice will win. I am a civilian. I have signed no pa- THE CAFE The only electrical hair, face and skin culturist in the city.

From the Sioux City, Iowa, Daily Tribune Cleveland Abbott, the negro youth who was barred from service with the South Dakota guards because of a general government order, has the satisfaction of knowing that every member of the South Dakota regiment regarded him as "white" through and through. They gladly accepted him as a comrade and deeply sympathized with him in the humiliation imposed by the government order. The race problem has many ramifications. Abbott is a college graduate, a clean and high minded citizen. Negroes of his type certainly should be given all possible consideration.

A small band of colored individuals calling themselves the representatives of the people, as will be seen in this week's Bee, have appointed themselves a general committee, known as the First Separate Battalion Relief Committee. The Bee has great respect for the colored men who have been sent to the front, but it has no respect, and neither has it any confidence in the self-appointed, self-styled representatives of the people to organize a committee without consulting the people. There are not over five people in this self-constituted committee that has the confidence and respect of the people. Let the readers of The Bee read the personnel of this committee and ask themselves what it stands for. A committee of such men as Rev Dr. W. M. Norman, Rév W. H. Jernagin, Fernando D. Lee, Mr. Andrew J. Thomas, Mr. Joseph Manning, Prof. L. M. Mershaw, Mr. Jesse H. Foster, Attorney Armond W. Scott, Prof. W. H. Richards, Rev W. J. Howard, Mr. O. N. Butter, Mr. Jos. H. Jones, Mr. Aldridge Lewis, Dr. J. W. Moore, Dr W. L. Board, Rev M. S. Cavers, Attorney W. C. Martin, Attorney P. W. Frisby, Mr. J. W. Muse, Attorney Joseph H. Stewart, Mr. Walter J. Atmans, Dr. S. M. Pierre, Dr. Nappier, Dr. W. L. Smith, Dr. Pride, Dr. Pope, Attorney, J. M. Ricks, and hundreds of other real representative citizens that The Bee could name. With such a committee representing the people all the necessary funds could be collected for our soldier boys. The citizens will follow the real people and not shams. There are only a few of the real people of Washington. Let the people speak. DISTRICT NATIONAL COMMITTEEMAN There is no earthly reason for the new National Committee to name ex-Senator Scott of West Virginia National Committeeman for the District of Columbia. This gentleman has been repudiated by his own state, hence there is no reason to thrust him upon the republicans of the District of Columbia. Ex-Senator Scott has done nothing for District republicans; he has never been identified with local republican interests; he has never participated in any way with local politics and he doesn't know one district from the other. When the party was divided in 1912 by the Moose, the Senator was nowhere to be found in local or national politics. There is one man acceptable to the republicans of all classes in this city and his appointment would satisfy everybody. Had the Chase-Miller ticket been admitted in Chicago last June, John W. Connor, the greatest politician in the United States, and the financial representative of the Congressional committee, would have been unanimously named. His word is above suspicion and his acts are loyal and his integrity unquestioned. Now if he National Republican Committee wants a real man, Mr. Connor is the choice of the republican party in this city. He is a man of stability, and no doubt, the greatest money getter in the United States. The republicans' will certainly need money in the coming contest. Let the National Republican Committee appoint John W. Con- RACE PRE-JUDICE Cleveland Abbott is an American citizen, regardless of his color. He is qualified, but his color was a bar to his admission in the white regiment. The most surprising thing is that the colored man is wanted in the army to fight, but he must fight for his country along side of his own nationality, no matter whether it is to his disadvantage or not. France today honors the black soldiers that fight, for her flag. America dishonors the name of the black man, no matter how much or how often /he gives up his life in defense of his country. The Bee doesn't blame the entire south for the permeation of race prejudice throughout the country. There are some noble white people in the south who believe in the valor, honor and integrity of the colored American. It may be offensive to the poorer classes in the south to see the advance and progress of the colored man, but the blue blood of the south knows no race prejudice and the day will no doubt come when this class of people will control. The occasion for this article is an excerpt from an Iowa paper which is reproduced and will be seen at the head of this comment, in which the government shows its weakness and prejudice against an educated and brave colored American who enlisted and was willing and ready to defend his country against foreign invasion. FAKERS. The country is warned against fakers of every description. Negro fake conferences, mass meetings, congress and all kinds of fake agitation assemblies in which fake bishops, fake lawyers, fake doctors and other fakers too numerous to mention. This is a season for fakers. Political fakers are the most numerous at this time. The so-called statesmen with voters in his vest pocket for sale will be seen in and around political headquarters. The colored democrat is the greatest political faker and joker of them all. He is now an invisible monetary. He is neither seen nor heard and party leaders don't invite any colored representative to take part in the council of war which is to be waged against these democrats. There is only one way to make the colored vote in the coming campaign a factor. It must unite and demonstrate by this union that it will be a factor in the coming political contest. The fake game must come to a close. COMMISSIONER NEWMAN COMMISSIONER NEWMAN. The innomination of Commissioner Newman by the President was a deserving one. If there ever was a public official who deserves to be given credit for the work he has done, the three years that he has held office, it is Mr. Newman. He has listened to the appeals of the people and as far as he and his associate are concerned, Mr. Brownlow, the people have been taken into their confidence and been consulted. The greatest question in which the people are interested, Mr. Newman, is their colored schools. The Bee means the colored people. Their schools never were in such a deplorable condition as they are now and the regret of the colored people is that the schools were not placed under the immediate control of supervision of the commissioners. As a commissioner Mr. Newman has been more or less interested in the welfare of the public schools in this city. He has consulted the people to ascertain their wants, regardless of the protest of cliques and the cod-fish aristocracy. Both of our commissioners have been for the people and it has been the exercise of good judgment and consideration for the wants of the people, that our local government is in such a good condition. The Bee congratulates you, Mr. Newman, and extends its thanks to the President for giving you an unqualified vindication which the people approve and the Senate will confirm. There is a great difference between foreign, born American judges and American born judges of our courts. Foreign born judges or men of foreign birth who are appointed to the bench of our courts seem to have greater consideration and a more humanitarian feeling for the rights and wrongs of human beings than our American born judges. Some of our American judges are heartless and are without reason or conscience: A southern man appointed in our courts seems to have greater consideration and feeling for fallen humanity than our northern judges. The Bee at this time has in mind the judge who occupies the town bench of the police court. Mr. James L. Pugh. It would seem a calamity to the poorer classes and thousands of unfortunate to remove such a man from the bench. Judges Gould and Siddu are of foreign birth and they have a spark of human gratitude in their hearts and yet they satisfy the ends of justice and society by the imposition of proper sentences. Some judges are like some preachers—preach God and crucifixion, and give you the devil at the same time. "There is a difference, all right." NEW RECORDER OF DEEDS. The Bee congratulates its good democratic friend, John F. Costello, on his confirmation as recorder of deeds for the District of Columbia. President Wilson has done one thing and that is to name a District man for a strictly local office. There is every reason to believe that the new recorder of deeds will do his duty and give the colored people in his office the same consideration as his predecessor. The Bee, of course, doesn't expect any consideration from white republican holdovers, who have been washed in democratic paint ever since the induction of Mr. Wilson in office. Such republicans are no good to either party and the sooner they are made to know that stability in politics as well as in everything else is one of the cardinal principles of the democratic party, and to this end the new recorder of deeds is expected to do his whole duty. HON. MARTIN WILLIAMS. When hisory records the deeds of famous men, men who stand for something, Hon. Martin Williams, reading clerk, a democrat, of the House of Representatives, will not be forgotten. If there ever was a humanitarian, a man who believes that every man, woman and child should be considered as human, regardless of color or condition, he is the man. There is no mistake as to his identity with human rights. Whenever he lifts his voice, it is in behalf of humanity. Whenever he converses with his peers, it is in behalf of right and justice and against wrong. Such a man is entitled to the respect and confidence of the people GOOD SELECTION. The Bee congratulates the board on the election of Dr. J. Van Schaick as president of the board of education. The Bee would suggest that the new president appoint a committee to investigate the office of the assistant superintendent of schools and his recommendations of recent appointment, and everything pertaining to the personnel of his office and schools under his supervision. GOOD MEN TO SELECT FROM. The Bee would suggest the following names from which a selection could be made for the office of assistant superintendent of schools: Prof. N. M. Brown, N. E. Weatherless and Prof. James E. Walker. Let there be a change at once. ANTI-LYNCHING FUND. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has started an anti-lynching fund. It is the duty of every true, loyal and patriotic colored citizen to subscribe to this fund. The Bee would suggest that a greater interest should be taken in this organization throughout the country. The negro must get together. Join the Royal Knights of King David. PUBLIC MEN AND THINGS (By the Sage of the Potomac.) There are several near statesmen out of a job and they are doing all in their power to convince the National Republican Committee that they have always been for Candidate Hughes. Jim Cobb would like to return to the United States Attorney's office, but he will not see it this time. He didn't make a safe leap when Dr. Willston and the bunch tied up with the Moose. Take it from me, that Hughes will have a tough fight with Woodrow Wilson. The voters have lost sight of the recognition that Woody didn't give the colored brother by the war scare. All they are thinking about is Woody keeping the country out of the war. I am told by the colored help at the White House De Mansion that they would rather be with Woody than any President that has ever been in the De Mansion. Speaking about President Wilson, you should just hear how the colored help, that goes with him on trips, speak of him. He is the finest oyster out of the shell. I heard from the guards a few days ago. I was informed that Major James E. Walker is the best loved man in the battalion. Now, if the government appreciates merit, it would just put Major Walker at the head of our schools in the place of Lord Faunteilroy. The Lord's occupation is about gone. There will be a new deal in the schools when the board meets. Lord Faunteilroy will be transferred somewhere where he will not be able to do very much harm. If Dr. Thurston had his way about matters, he would replace my friend, Montgomery, from where he was taken unceremoniously. Roscoe C. Bruce's occupation is gone. The board will investigate the recent appointment and examination of a cooking teacher. The Sage has called the attention of the board of education to this particular appointment. The appointment of the new members of the board of education is an evidence that the people will rule, and not a ring. The Sage knew what was going to happen and will happen. There are to be several radical changes in the schools. I passed Jesse Foster at the corner of Avenue Dee Nig, last evening and while standing there I saw two sweet chocolate browns with invisible hose and the latest fashion dress. They are seen frequently in this neighborhood after sun down. Their peculiar dress causes the attraction of passers by. They generally dive for the Hiawatha, if Sam Keys is away from the corner. Sam, you know, is an entertaining individual and he very seldom allows an object to pass without casting a shy eye in its direction. Sam is some talker as well good company. Have you heard of the latest New York City cutting match, in which several well known chocolate browns participated and resulted in the arrest of a well known female Washingtonian, the daughter of a well known Baptist minister? It was a fight royal and no doubt the sensation of New York. Windy Thompson is of the opinion that the Sage has lost its virtues. Windy is losing his wind and he will lose something else if he continues in his wild goose chase after social notoriety. He has gone daffy on that commodity. It generally sets some people crazy. MRS. BOOKER RETURNED. Mrs. J. V. L. Booker of 1536 Tea street has returned from the funeral of her mother, Mrs. M. A. Lewis. Mrs. Lewis is survived by her husband, G. W. Lewis, a prominent merchant of Scottsville, Virginia; nine daughters and two sons. She was a loving wife, a kind and affectionate mother. Mrs. Booker appreciates the sympathy of her friends. THE BEE WOUD LIKE TO KNOW What has become of the Hogan rooters? If the candidate of the Moose says that he wanted no more to do with the so-called rooters of his campaign? Why Williston was not seen with Hogan at Chicago? Why Jim Cobb didn't allow Hogan to carry his own briefs? Where Jabez Lee is now? Why John W. Connor can't be National Committeeman for the District of Columbia? Will Candidate Hughes have a walk-over in November? What will become of the has beens? Why Judge James L. Pugh can't succeed himself? When will the next floral parade take place? If Beckley and Carroll are not making good? NAUCK, VA., FLASHES. Miss Helen Jackson and her mother, Mrs. Lizzie Jackson, of Washington, D. C., are among the summer visitors to the home of Mrs. L. E. Johnson. Mrs. Mattie Davis who sustained injuries about two weeks ago while getting off a car at Nauck around 10-30 o'clock, p. m., is improving. Mrs. Wilson and Mrs. Stuart of Columbus, Ohio, are visiting Mrs. Heni-rows in Nauck, Va. Mrs. Nathan Webster and daughter, Madaline, of South Pennsylvania, were guests of Mr. and Mrs. James B.

Blair of New York. Little Miss Florence Peyton shot her fireworks with little Miss Madaline Webster. They had a pleasant Fourth. Mr. Eugene Thomas, with Mrs. James Peyton and assistants, are completing the Peyton residence in a hurry to be on hand making a good showing in this work. Rev. W. H. Pollard, former pastor of Lomax A. M. E. Zion Chapel here, returned Tuesday to move his family and effects to his new home and charge with the A. M. E. Zion Church at Williamsport, Pennsylvania. We wish the Rev. Pollard abundant success in his new field of labor. ABLINGTON, VA. POINTS. Rev. Lee, pastor of Mt. Olive Baptist Church, preached a stirring sermon to his congregation last Sunday morning. All enjoyed the services and went away benefited. The pastor, choir and a goodly number of members went to Washington city in the afternoon to attend rally services at the St. Philip's Baptist Church. A large crowd was present to encourage the little church. The Rock Creek Baptist Church of Tennallton sent its pastor, choir and congregation, and a number of ministers and friends from other churches were present. Rev. Ammon H. Holmes of the Mt. Olive Baptist Church preached the sermon, and the two choirs furnished music. The offerings given certainly showed that the hearts of the people were in their right places. Rev. Lee and his good people will worship next Sunday evening, with Rev. Sayles and his congregation at the Providence Baptist Church. Mt. Olive Baptist Sunday School is working well and all looking forward to their summer outing. A quartet from this school. viz: Misses Virgile Pollard, Emma Holmes, Edith Holmes and Audrey Cox, was awarded the prize for singing at the closing exercises of the public schools of the county. Mrs. Eliza Thomas and daughters, Misses Jessie and Maggie Thomas, with Mr. and Mrs. Dean, spent Wednesday evening, July 5th, with Mr. and Mrs. H. W.

Clinkett, president; Miss Gertrude Smith, secretary, gave a musical in the choir, which despite somewhat inclement weather of the day, was a grand affair ad well patronized. The following program was most pleasingly rendered, applause following the numbers given: Opening song, "Heaven for Me,"—choir. Welcome address—Mr. H. W. Ball.

After a few remarks, well received by the audience, made by the representative of The Bee, who was introduced by Mr. H. W. Ball, the choir in full from the platform sang the closing number, "Am Going Home," very much like The Bee's poem of Mr. Olive have in the person of Mr. H. W. Ball a highly capable and most worthy leader and trainer. There will be several more of these literary and musical entertainments during the season. Mr. and Mrs. William Pollard celebrated their fifteenth anniversary at their residence in Arlington, Va., on Monday evening; July 3, 1916. Mrs. Edna McCloud visited her parents for a week at East Arlington, Va. Rev. E. W. Williams and Mr. Wm. Cox joined Mt. Olive Baptist Church. Sunday, July 2nd, 1916. Rev. Williams is a great race leader. Rev. Joseph Lee, the beloved pastor of Mt. Olive and St. Philip's Baptist Church is able assisted by Rev. Ammon H. H. Hecker the pastor and Rev. James Nickens at the latter church. Thus as it were, Moses' hands when they become heavy, are still up, and these churches are winning in the battle for the Lord. The installation services of Rev. James E. Green, pastor of Mt. Zion Baptist Church, are now in progress and quite an elaborate program, with sister churches participating, is being worked out. Rev. I. H. Stephenson, recently of New Jersey, now interested in a mission at Thirty-third and M streets northwest, was with Rev. Green in his last Sunday's service. Rev. Stephenson is an able divine. HOTEL NEWS. R. DeReef Miller. ```markdown ``` Lewis Thomas is director of a colored orchestra at the New Ebbitt Cafe'. The change in the music went into effect last Saturday at the lunch hour. Uniformed in palm beach suits. Mr. John W. Lee, a former hotel man of Washington, is now connected with S. Kanns & Soins in the jewelry department, and president of the Men's Club, of Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, which consists of 105 very brilliant business and professional men of this city. Dr. Perry's famous orchestra is now playing at the Winston Hotel on Tuesday and Thursday nights for the summer dances. Regardless of the heat for the past week the crowds 'have been very large. Perry's Orchestra made a great record at the New Ebbitt last winter while playing for the dance in the crystal dining room. The Health Department of Washington recently issued a report on the city restaurant and dining room sanitation which was very favorable, praising the work of the managers and directors of the local restaurant for their co-operation in terminating which causes a wide spread of disease, and infantile paralysis throughout the state of New York and New Jersey. It is to be trusted that the local headwaiters and all persons connected in any way with the handling of foods, especially during these extreme hot days, will continue to swat the fly and carry out the sanitation laws. This is a very serious and vital matter when we look over the report from five boroughs of New York City, and see that 195 new cases of infantile paralysis have developed in 24 hours and a total of 1,300 cases have been reported, and 300 deaths. A timely warning has been sent broadcast to the visiting New York children under the age of sixteen to the hotels and private residences of Washington until the fearful plague ceases.

Miss Elsie Bolton of North Carolina avenue northeast, made a flying trip to New York last Saturday and reports a very pleasant trip. Miss Bolton was accompanied by her friend, Miss Jamie Jackson, and with automobile rides, viewing of the scenery along the Hudson, and what not the gentlemen socially visting with each other in entertaining, this strong battery of excellent ladies did not welcome their quick return home; but home duties are first and the ladies say they will visit again. Rev. P. B. Harris is now spending his vacation in Washington, D. C. He left Baltimore on June 23, and made an initiative vacation trip south, visiting Petersburg, Richmond and Fredericksburg in Va.

August Tuskegee Institute, Alabama.—The officers of the National Negro Business League, are always on the alert for opportunities to serve the business interest of the race and are constantly seeking and holding up unusual examples of successful business management in order that other members of the race in the same or similar lines of business may be encouraged thereby to embody the same principles into their business enterprises. prises.

When the Organizer met the Local Negro Business League at Augusta, Georgia, one member of the League who was present at the meeting opened the question of establishing a shoe store. That city to be operated by Negroes and the Organizer promised to do whatever he could to encourage the effort. Later, the Organizer visited Pensacola, Florida, and found a colored man, Mr. Sam Charles, operating successfully two shoe stores. Mr. Charles has been in business for twenty years and knows the shoe business from the ground up. Mr. Holsey acquainted Mr. Charles with the plans of the Augusta business men and very promptly he expressed his willingness to benefit of his experience in operating a shoe store.

And because of that fact the Negro is entitled to a square deal. Will you kindly note in my statement the sentence that "The Negro possesses a patriotism that rises above injustice and wronga." Does this indicate that I fall to appreciate the fact that the Negro is the victim of discrimination, etc. etc. And yet despite all this I would say again, as I said in my statement, that "the Negro has never failed in defense of his count"; he will South Carolina Arkansas delegates with Hon.

The following Associated Press dispatch was published throughout the country last week: country task. Tuskegee, Alabama, June 22.—When informed by an Associated Press representative today of the killing of 12 Negro soldiers, Emmett J. Scott, Secretary of the Tuskegee Institute, called attention to the fact that eighteen years ago when war was declared with Spain that the late Booker T. Washington, Principal of Tuskegee Institute, called upon the Negro people of the United States, and particularly upon Tuskegee graduates and former students, to volunteer for service in defense for their country. Hundreds of Negroes followed this advice. Secretary Scott states that there are a dozen or more Tuskegee graduates and former students in Mexico now members of the various colored regiments, "Negroes," he states, "will rally the defense of their country now as they have always done. As the first American soldier to lose his life in Mexico, March 24, of this year, was a Negro, so the first man killed in the Revolutionary War was a Negro. The Negro people take pride in the fact that it was the charge of Negro troops at San Juan Hill in the Spanish-American War that turned the tide, there and that Negroes have fought bravely in every war in which this country has engaged. The Negro was with Jack son at New Orleans, with Perry or Lake Erie, and 180,000 Negro soldiers served in the Civil War. "The Negroes of this country" he states, will be no less patriotic at this time than in former periods of stress and storm. The Negro possesses a patriotism that rises above injustices and wrongs. He is American through and through. The President will find no hyphenates among us. The Negro has never faltered in defense of his country; he will not falter now. If President Wilson desires to employ sturdy Negroes to defend the flag, he can be assured that a hundred thousand and more are at his disposal. Tuskegee In-titute, Alabama, July 5, 1916. Mr. W. Calvin Chase, Editor Washington Bee, Washington, D. C. Dear Mr. Chase: Dear Mr. Chase: The editorial which appears in your issue of July 1st addresses certain inquiries to me. May I respond to these courteous inquiries by saying that a careful reading of my statement to the Associated Press, which, by the way, you did not publish although you state that it is to appear in another column, was indirect reply to the agent of the Associated Press at Montgomery who asked for some expression, with reference to the colored men who had been in the thickest of the fight at Carrizal. I took advantage of that opportunity to say one or two things that I thought needed to be said. First, that the first American soldier, to lose his life in Mexico, March 24 of this year, was a Negro, as was true in the Revolutionary War of 1776. I also sought to call attention to the fact that the Negro troops gave a good account of them selves at San Juan Hill in the Spanish American War, and that they fought with Jackson at New Orleans and with Perry on Lake Erie. I also stated that 180,000 Negro soldiers served in the Civil War. THE TREE OF THE MONKEY not rather now. Last but not lease may I call attention to the last sentence in my statement; if off President Wilson desires to employ sturdy Negroes to defend the flag, he can be assured that a hundred thousand and more are at his disposal. The "if" is the big word in this statement. I have not sought to offer President Wilson a hundred thousand troops to fight in Mexico or any other place. I have, as you say, no authority for so offering this number of troops, or any number of troops, but I believe as forvently as I believe anything at all, that "if" President Wilson calls upon Negro troops dred thousand and more will be forthcoming. I am one of those who believes that the responsibilities of citizenship must be shouldered along with the acceptance of the privileges of citizenship. Sincerely yours. EMMET J. SCOTT. WACO HORROR. STIRS TO ACTION N. A. A. C. P. Opens Subscription to 410.009 Anti-Lynching Fund. $10,000 Two thousand Already Pledged. Fifty thousand copies of the story of "The Waco Horror" have just been distributed by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People through its official organ, the Crisis, and as a result a campaign for an anti-junching fund of ten thousand dollars has been launched. Immediately upon hearing the details of this American atrocity, which for barbarity surpasses anything charged against the Germans in Belgium, Judge Moerfield Storey, National President of the Association, and formerly President of the American Bar Association, and Mr. Philip G. Peabody, both of Boston, each offered to contribute $1,000 towards such a fund on condition that the remaining $8,000 be raised by August 1. The N. A. A. C. P. sent a special investigator from National headquarters at 70 Fifth Avenue, New York, who commenced gathering evidence in Waco, Texas, where the burning occurred, within forty-eight hours after the lynching. Inasmuch as fifteen thousand people had sanctioned the affair by their presence and dozens of pictures were taken, there was no difficulty in ascertaining the names and addresses of the ring-leaders and the failure of both the judge and sheriff to make the slightest effort to protect their prisoner. The association is bending every effort to secure a distinguished Texas lawyer with courage enough to bring the case against these murderers into court. Politics, the investigator found, was at the bottom of the affair. Sam Fleming, the sheriff, is up for reelection at the Democratic primary in July. His opponent, Buchanan, though illiterate, has "three ced niggers to his credit," is therefore very popular. Unless he is to go back to selling buggies and, cultivators for the hardware store, Sam needed a lynching to increase his popularity. The murder of Mrs. Fryer on Monday, May 8, came just at the right time. Jesse Washington, a colored boy of seventeen, confessed to both murder and rape. His trial was for Monday, May 15. The crowd began gathering from the surrounding country on Sunday. When court opened, 1500 crowded into the room, inside the rail, about the judge's desk and jury-box; and 2000 more waited in the courard. The District Judge of the Criminal Court, R. I. Munroe, allowed his way to his deck, and the boy was brought from his chambers where he had been secreted since the sheriff brought him from Dallas in the middle of the night. As the jurors were called, the crowd yelled, "we don't need any jury!" but the trial was allowed to be hurried through. The jury brought in a verdict of guilty of murder and assessed his punishment as death. The defendant had have been hanged that same afternoon. There was a pause of a full minute. The court stenographer slipped out with his records. Sheriff Fleming sneaked out, too. Then a big fellow in the back of the court room yelled, "Get the nigger!" They took him before the court had pronounced judgment without the judge lifting a finger in protest. Down the back stairs they rushed him to the crowd waiting outside. They put the chain in his mouth so that he wouldn't choke too soon, and when those lugging at it broke it, the driver of the Anheuser brewery truck who led the rabble, wound it around his own wrist rather than take chances that the boy should die too soon. Many had come a long way to attend this party and they didn't want it to end in a minute.

The Waco Times Herald published the same afternoon, said, "On the way to the scene of the burning people on every hand took a hand in showing their feelings in the matter by striking the negro with anything obtainable; some struck him with shovels, bricks, clubs, and others stabbed him and cut him until when he was strung up his body as a solid color of red, the blood of the many wounds inflicted covered him from head to foot." him from head. They took Washington to a tree on the City Hall Lawn just outside the window of His Honor, the Mayor, which he generously shared with Mr. Gildersleeve, the photographer to whom we are indebted for our cuts. A chain was thrown over the limb of this tree, and while the fire was being lit, this bloody thing was hoisted into the air where everyone would have a full view.

"Fingers, cars, pieces of clothing, toes, and other parts of the negro's body were cut off by number of the mob that had crowded to the scene as if by magic when the word that the negro had been taken in charge by the mob was heralded over the city. As the smoke rose to the heavens, the mass of the people, numbering in the neighborhood of 10,000, crowding the City Hall lawn and overflowing the square, hanging from the windows of buildings, viewing the scene from the tops of buildings and trees, set up a shout that was heard blocks away. Onlookers were hanging from the windows of the City Hall and every other building that commanded a sight of the burning, and as the negro's body commenced to burn, shouts of delight went up from the thousands of throats, and apparently everybody demonstrated in some way their sat reflection." the body of young Washington was burned to a crisp and was left for some time smouldering in the remains of the fire.

A Story For Wives Who Just Drop In During Business Hours. "Will you please," asks a secret sufferer, "write something about wives who make unexpected calls at their husbands' offices? I am not guilty of anything, but I think that even the most innocent of men suffers acutely when his wife visits him at his office. There is no way for me to make my wife understand this unless I appear boorish and brutal. Can't you say something about it? Many wives read your column." Yes, friend, says the Cleveland Plain Dealer. We will put it in the form of general propositions, hoping thereby to step on no individual toes. We hold these facts to be proved: That no husband ever wants his wife to call on him at his office during business hours, except upon his invitation. That no wife can know how she unsets his routine, disorders, the mental processes that go on during those hours and subjects herself to the gossip of his office mates. That there is no easy way to make a wife see this. We proceed from these trulsms to a few observations. A lovely creature breezes into her husband's office just because she happens to be passing. She says: "Now, don't let me disturb you a minute—I know you are busy. Dearle, what good does that desk light do you at that angle? Don't you know you will ruin your eyes? What a mess your desk is! Look at Mr. Officemate's—how neat it is! Well, just let me stick this little package in your lower drawer and you bring it home with you when you come. "Well, I must run along, for you're busy. Come out to the elevator with me, dear; I want to speak to you. Who is that disreputable looking man who is waiting in the outer office to see you? Why, it's a perfect disgrace to have such callers! "You have an appointment with him? How can you make an appointment with such a creature? Well, goodbye, dear. Get your shoes before you come home—you look awfully sloppy." And if husband protests against that call her eyes fill with innocent tears and she says: "Why, I wasn't there five minutes, and you weren't working at anything when I came in! And men call on you and stay, half an hour! Of course I'll never come again. Are you ashamed of your wife?" The Bethlehem Music Festival. The Bach festival at Bethlehem is one of the most interesting events in musical production in this country. "Musically Bethlehem, Pa., is the most remarkable town or settlement in the United States." In 1780 Bethlehem had an orchestra, probably the first in the United States. In 1901 the Bethlehem music festival was marked by the first performance in America of Bach's complete Christmas oratorio. Bethlehem has been called "the American Oberammergau" and "the American Baireuth." The music festival is held each year—New York Times. Where Women Tell Their Ages.

Preaching In the Parthenon—Basic Difference Between Greek Philosophy and the Scriptures. "In-Ilim we live and move and have our being."—Verse 28. WILE Silas remained to strengthen and establish the Berenangs, as Timothy had at Thessalonica and Luke at Philippi. St. Paul went on to Athens, then the center of the world's intelligence, a college city, where resided the most eminent philosophers of the world. Jerusalem had been the center of true religion; Rome was the center of the world's imperial authority; and Athens was the world's intellectual capital. We can imagine St. Paul walking through the streets of that great city, admiring its wonderful architecture, listening to some of the scientific teachers, and noting the numerous monuments with which the city was crowded-statues of gods, demi-gods and heroes. Every gate post carried its protecting god. Every street had its sanctuary. No wonder his heart was stirred within him as he beheld so intelligent a city wholly given over to idolatry! As usual, the Apostle found the Jewish synagogue, where he reasoned with the Jews and with devout persons. Daily in the market-places he talked with all who were willing. Some called him a babbler, implying that there was neither sense nor reason in his presentations. Others thought more favorably, and were curious to have a formal discourse. So in the Lord's providence the way Daily in the market-places he talked with all who were willing. Some called him a babbler, implying that there was neither sense nor reason in his presentations. Others thought more favorably, and were curious to have a formal discourse. So in the Lord's providence the way was opened for him to deliver a discourse on the Plan of the Ages amongst the wise men of the earth, probably in the great structure known as the Parthenon, on Mars Hill. However, the curiosity of the Athenians was superficial. They wished to keep abreast of every new theory, that they might the better defend their own position. Our Common Version reports the Apostle to have begun by accusing his hearers of being too superstitious. However true, the statement might have been, it would have been unwise; for it would needlessly have offended his hearers from the outstart. We do well, therefore, to translate the word "too religious." This translation fits well with the discourse which followed; for the Apostle proceeds to show that by the images erected they recognize innumerable gods, and that additionally he had seen one altar to the unknown God. This was being too religious in one sense of the word—unwisely so. Basic Doctrines Contrasted. The inscription, "To the Unknown God," became the Apostle's text. He preached the true God and Jesus Christ, whom God had sent. He showed Divine Justice and its requirements, which Adam's fallen race cannot meet. He pointed out that consequently all mankind are under condemnation as unworthy of everlasting life, but that God has sent His Son to redeem our race from death and to grant our resurrection privileges. He drew their attention to a greater God than they had thought of, and showed the length and breadth of Love Divine—that it is not confined to one nation, but that God had made of one blood all nations, to dwell on all the face of the earth. Antiplating the question, "Are we responsible for not having worshiped Him whom we knew not?" St. Paul declared that heretofore they had not been responsible for not having worshiped the true God. Such ignorance God "winked at" overlooked; for until now His great Plan had not reached that stage of development which authorized the sending of His Message to the nations. But now God commands all men everywhere to repent; for He has appointed another Judgment Day. In the first Judgment Day Adam was found unworthy of everlasting life and was sentenced to death. His entire race shared in his penalty. But Christ had redeemed Adam and his race from that death penalty, and thus opened the way for another trial for life or death everlasting. This second trial would not merely be for those living at that time, but for the entire race — 'tall man now.' He is Risen! all men everywhere." This implied the awakening of the dead. Otherwise, the millions already dead could never participate in God's grace. The proof that this was God's purpose had been demonstrated by the fact that Christ had risen from the dead. But the Athenian philosophers, like those of our day, sneered at the doctrine of the resurrection of the dead. Some denied a future life; others held that human life is indestructible. All were in opposition to the Bible teaching of a sentence of death, a redemption by death, and a resurrection from death. All interest in the Apostle's teaching vanished for the majority when they learned that the entire philosophy rested upon the resurrection of the dead. Few can receive this. Divine Permission of Evil For Six Thousand Years—Reign of Sin Soon to End—Church's Present Experiences of Suffering Violence a Preparation For Future Glory—Apostate Systems Claims Present Right to Rule Not the True Church—Distinction Soon to Be Seen Clearly—Church In Glory to Be Known and Honored. Sixou City, Iowa July 9—Pastor Russell is in our city, in attendance upon the I. B. S. A. Convention here. Today he gave a very interesting lecture, based upon Matthew 11:12—"The Kingdom of Heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force." PASTOR RUSSELL According to the Pastor, not only our Lord Jesus Christ, but every individual member of His Church, has suffered violence in some form during their earthly course. All who are of this class have taken a firm stand for God and His Truth, and have rejected all theories and doctrines which are unscriptural. As a result, they have been opposed, maligned, misrepresented and persecuted, not only by the worldly, but chiefly by those who have a form of godliness while denying the power thereof. This condition will not always obtain, however. Our earth is the only part of the Universe in rebellion against our Creator, the speaker explained. That rebellion has continued ever since Father Adam disobeyed God's command, and brought upon himself and his posterity a sentence of death—not eternal torment. That sentence was, "Dying, thou shalt die," no matter how much we may have been taught to the contrary. (Genesis 2:17: Romans 6:23: Ezekiel 18:4, 20; etc.) God has permitted sin to take its course during these six thousand years, in order that man's experience with its results shall be a valuable lesson to all God's intelligent creatures throughout eternity, demonstrating the unwisdom of disobedience to the Divine Law. But God has also purpose to give the entire human family one full opportunity as individuals to return to harmony with Him. This fact is the essence of the Gospel. (Luke 2:10; Galatians 3:8, 16, 29; 1 Timothy 3:5, 6). St. Peter declares that this opportunity will be given during "the Times [years] of Restitution" (Acts 3:19-21). Other Scriptures show that this will be during the Messianic Kingdom; when Satan shall be bound and when everything will be under Messiah's control for the purpose of eradicating sin, helping mankind up out of their fallen condition back to the image of God and to harmony with Him. —1 Corinthians 15:24-28. Violent Opposition to the Kingdom. In due time God sent His Son, the prospective King of earth, into the world to tell mankind that God has mercy on them and wishes to bless them. Although He came to the most favored nation of that time, yet they rejected and crucified Him. Thus violence was done to the Kingdom of Heaven; for Jesus was the rightful King. He gave up His life, permitted it to be taken, from Him, knowing this to be the Father's will. Thus He humbled Himself, "even unto the death of the Cross. Wherefore also God hath highly exalted Him."—Phil. 2:8-11. After our Lord ascended on High, the Kingdom continued to suffer violence; for there was a class established who had accepted His terms and were walking in His footsteps. All down the Gospel Age this Church class have suffered with their Lord; and in them, as representatives of the Kingdom, has the Kingdom suffered violence. Of Jesus and His disciples it was said that they were under the power of the Adversary; and so it has been said of God's people ever since. (Matthew 10:25.) The religious people of the Master's day said that He had a devil merely because He did not join in with their leaders, the Pharisees. Jesus stood for God and the Truth, and therefore could not endorse their theories, their doctrines, and could not walk in their ways. As a result, they opposed, maligned and persecuted Him. There is a wide and radical difference between the world's ideas and the Divine Program. Consequently the Kingdom class have suffered violence throughout the Age, sometimes in one form, sometimes in another. Many good people have had a misconception of things. They have thought that the Kingdom is already here, that it was set up centuries ago. There has been a duplicate Kingdom in existence for over a thousand years. The founders of this duplicate Kingdom thought that they were doing God's will in setting it up; but the Adversary deceived them. Our Lord is not now reigning over the world; and the Church has been suffering violence at the hands of earth's rulers. But the time is at hand when our Lord will take His great power, and set up the true Kingdom.

PALMER'S SKIN TENER PALMER'S SKIN TENER A TRUCELESS WAR A TRUCELESS WAR The Unending Struggle Between the Sea and the Shore. VICTORIES ON BOTH SIDES. Sometimes the Ocean Lashes Its Way Through Rocky Cliffs, and Sometimes the Wind and Land Combine to Beat the Billows Back to Defeat. It is a trucceless war that the waters of the world are waging against its lands. John Oliver LaGorce, associate editor of the National Geographic society, has prepared for that institution a study of this striking struggle between the earth and the sea with the shores lines of the world as the far flung theater of war. After, calling attention to the fact that the processes which have transformed the polar regions from dense jungles of tropical growth into lands of perpetual ice and snow, which have brought the tops of mountains to the bottom of the sea and the bottom of the sea to the tops of mountains, are still going on, although the hands upon the face of the clock of geology move so slowly, that we cannot perceive their movement, Mr. LaGorce continues: "Along every coast line on the face of the earth there is perpetual warfare between the land and the sea, with the wind as the shifting line, now throwing its weight into the balance on the one side and now on the other. Here the land is taking the offensive, driving the sea back foot by foot, always with the aid of the wind; there the sea marshals a great drive and eats its way landward slowly and laboriously, but none the less successfully. "The varying fortunes of this relentless and age long war which neither truce nor treaty will ever bring to an end can be read in the shifting sands of the seashore. At many points along the coast of the northeastern states are found bold cliffs, and the charging sea attacks them with the shot and shell of loose shingle. Some of them, however, are adamant and impregnable in their frontal fortifications and hold out against the sorest siege, but between them have occurred stretches of softer rock which have been literally pounded to dust by the ocean's heavy artillery, thus permitting flank attacks on the hitherto unconquered defenses. "Along the southeastern coast, however, the rock bound cliff is the exception and the long stretches of glittering sand the rule. Here the sandy beach reaches out farther and farther into the sea, and the water is thus enabled to penetrate farther and farther into the land because the attack of the sea is usually a froutal movement and that of the land frequently a wedge attack. Thus we can account for the long straight shore on the one hand and the split on the other. "The formation of the beach immediately guarded by the Cape-Henry light is not changing so rapidly as is the case only a few mites on either side because of its somewhat protected position, due to the many sand bars or reefs far out from shore which, acting as the first trunches, serve to break the charge of the white horses of Father Neptune as they dash in from the ocean, and, because of this knowledge of defense, it is plain to be seen that a good quarter of a mile of beach has been added by the defender since the old light was erected. "Rockaway beach, Long Island, grows westward at the rate of nearly a mile every twenty years. At Nag Head, N. C., the land has extended into the sea at the rate of thirty-five feet a year. In 1804 Dr. Nathaniel Bowditch prepared a chart of Salem and Marblehead harbors, giving the soundings over various ledges of rock. Ninety years later similar soundings were taken, and in all cases the water was found to be considerably deeper, once again telling the tale of endless warrings. "On the shore of Cape Cod, near Chatham, the land is retreating at the rate of a foot a year, and on the southern shore of Marthas Vineyard it is giving up the fight to the enemy at the rate of three feet every twelve months, while on the southern face of Nantucket the retreat has been as much as six feet a year, the records tell us. "In its incessant warfare against the land the sea literally takes its captured hosts and makes them do battle under its command. The bowlers that are shattered from the face of a cliff are dashed up against it again and again, hammering others loose, the while being worn round and smooth as the projectile of big guns must be. As the process goes on these huge shells are worn down and crumbled until there remains nothing to tell the story of forced fighting against their own stronghold save grains of sand on some distant beach or the soft carpet spread upon the floor of the sea many fathoms deep. "How rapidly this process goes on is sometimes strikingly shown. A schooner laden with bricks is beached on some bare shore in a storm. These bricks are rolled and tumbled a distance of five miles or so in the course of a year, and by that time attrition has usually completed its work. Authorities say that on the shores of Cape Ann a fragment of stone as big as a nail keg has been worn completely round by its constant turning during the course of hut five years." A propensity to hope and joy is real riches, one to fear and sorrow real poverty.—Hume. ```markdown ``` GREAT A large, strong splint basket, with hinged top, for soiled linen and clothing. 75c Mattress Bargain A fine layer Felt Mattress of the regular $15.00 quality. $10.00 $10.00 GROGAN Large Clothes Rack All parts of maple, solidly constructed, stands 5 feet high in this pos. it folds perfectly flat, has 45 feet o. rods. 95c A good-looking, serviceable Dining Table of colonizing, golden oak, with heavy pedestal solid legs and extends to 6 feet iir length.
