I hereby take this occasion to thank the members and friends of the Second Baptist Church for their participation in, and liberal contributions to our re-union and financial rally which ended Sunday, October 22, 1916. ended Sunday, October It was our aim to have raised $1,200.00; we, however, took in $758. $8 in cash 48 in cash. A great many unpaid subscriptions will be collected which will doobless swell the amount over a thousand dol- lars. lars. We are under many obligations to those who took part on the program, namely, Bro. M. C. M. Maxfield, our peerless local Sunday School Missionary; who is doing so much good in the day Schools of our city. Sunday Bro. Maxfield was the former superintendent of the Second Baptist Sunday School in the palmy days of the existence. church's existence. Such a sentiment of gratitude and appreciation for the leaders of the pastor has been developed under the new administration of the church that a special aim was made to have as many of them on the program as possible. Bro. Maxfield readily responded. He gave an interesting historical account of the Sunday School and church from 1848, the year in which the church was founded, until the present, naming the first and succeeding postors unto the present. ing pastors to come. We are sorry we are unable to re- produce a paper, but suffice it to say that Bro. Maxfield contemplates having it printed in pamphlet form. The members of the Second Baptist Church would be glad to have them for future reference. for future referral. On Sunday morning, the 15th, a special sermon was preached by the acting pastor on the reunion of the members. The congregation was led in prayer by Rev. Jackson, vice president New Bethel Association, who prayed that the spirit of union and brotherly love might pervade our ranks. ranks. We were disappointed in not having Dr. Willis, pastor of the Vermont Avenue Baptist Church, to preach at 3 o'clock services, but he, however, sent a representative in the person of Rev. Wheeler, who gave us a good lesson. sermon. The B. Y. P. U. had a very interesting program at 6 o'clock and contributed benefitably to the rally. substantially to the At night we had our good brother, Rev, F. W. Dixon, of the Berean Baptist Church, to preach for us. He gave us quite an enthusiastic and inspiring discourse. spring discourse Monday night. October 16. Dr. Burke. pastor of the Israel Baptist Church, and choir were present. Dr. Burke gave us a wonderful sermon in his quiet and logical way. Dr. Burke is a great speaker. Second Baptist admires him. Tuesday night, October 16, Dr. W. B. Carroll of Union Baptist Church, delivered a sermon on the Resurrection of Dry Bones which nearly swept Second Baptist off of her feet. Dr. Carroll is a powerful preacher. He is indeed the man of the hour. We shall have more to say about him later on. on. Wednesday night we were highly favored by an excellent sermon from that great, wonderful and eloquent Dr. Norman. The doctor held us spell bound by his masterly oratory for about half an hour. He gave the church some wholesome advice concerning their future existence. certhing. Thursday night we were all delighted to have our dear brother, Dr. Howard, preach to us in his friendly and fatherly way. Dr. Howard knows how to inspire fresh hope and determination. We were all much better fortified to brave the battles of life shearing him. after hearing. Friday night we were disappointed in not having Dr. Sayles according to program, but he sent a re-presentative in the person of Dr. Gordon, pastor Thirteenth Street Baptist hurch, whom we all know to be a great gospel preacher. Dr. Gordon spoke with a good bit of fervor and spiritual power. Dr. Gordon is convincing in his arguments. He has great evangelistic powers. powers. We were again disappointed on the fourth Sunday morning services over the absence of Dr. Randolph Peyton, who promised to be present on that occasion, but it was our good fortune to secure Dr. Carroll again who preached in his stead. Dr. Carroll was at his test. He preached one of the most affecting sermons we have ever witnessed in the old Second Bantist Church. It seemed the Holy Spirit come down upon him. He preached with the power of theunction from on high. Praises and favorable comments were upon the lips of every one. His sermon will be long remembered. We never knew his power be Fourth. Sunday, 3 o'clock; we were again dispointed. We printed on the program the names of a great many eminent divines to take part in a platform meeting to be presided over by the Rev. Dr. Waldron, pastor of the Shiloh Baptist Church. It was expected that these eminent divines would give us their moral support and co-operation in our church work. It was a lamentable fact, however, that not one of those distinguished leaders were present. Why they were not present unless some statements from them is made, will remain to be known only in the judgment when the mists of human misunderstanding shall have been cleared away. been cleared a beautiful meeting in the re-union of our local elders, presided over by Rev. Dr. Albert Barton. They and other divines present made very inspiring addresses, after which the report of the finances raised during these services by the various clubs, Sunday School and individuals were made which showed that the sum total was $758.48. At the suggestion of Bro. Austin Fiskling, the entire church got on their knees and thanked God for having blessed us in our efforts. blessed us in our trust. We strove to raise about $1,200.00. We may not realize that much, but we think when we shall have collected all of the unpaid subscriptions we will have something over $1,000.00. We again thank our members and friends, those who were allied with clubs, Sunday School, B. Y. P. U., and individual subscriptions. Second Baptist is struggling and praying. In her weakness, she is strong, for God's grace is sufficient for her. She desires to maintain her place honorably in the sisterhood of churches in the District of Columbia. She is appealing to all who are laboring for the extension of God's Kingdom through all the earth, and a more friendly spirit of love and union in the churches of the District, to aid her with your prayers and encourage her with your co-operation and moral support. First Separate Battalion Leaving U. S Service This Afternoon After Four Months In Field. After a little more than four months in the field, all except a couple of weeks of it in the federal service, the 1st Separate Battalion of Infantry the District colored troops, monday afternoon is being mustered out by Maj. March B. Stewart, U. S. A., the inspector-instructor of the National Guard of the District of Columbia. The mustering-out ceremony and the paying-off of the men is taking place the armory of the colored troops, at 12th and 11 streets northwest. The tents at Camp Ordway, Fort Myer, Va., occupied by these troops for the last week, or since their arrival in Washington from Naco, Ariz., where they were stationed guarding the water works, which are right on the boundary line between Mexico and the United States, were dropped this morning. The tentage was rolled up and the other equipment packed. Wagon trains were loaded and the property sent to the armory for storage until the annual encampment next year, unless conditions should require the President to call the militia out before that time. Glad to Resume Civil Life. Officers and men, having done their "bit" are again anxious to resume their civilian status. There was much enthusiasm about the work of breaking camp today, and there was little need on the part of the officers and noncommissioned officers to urge the men to their tasks. The ditches around the tents had to be covered, the holes dug for the incinerators had to be filled and the camp otherwise restored to the condition in which the troops found it when they came. At 1 o'clock the 1st Separate, commanded by Maj. James E. Walker, left the camp in heavy marching order. The troops followed the military road to the Highway bridge, around the tidal basin to 17th street, north on that street to Pennsylvania avenue, east to 15th and New York avenue, east on the latter to 12th street and north to the armory at 12th and U streets. Mobilization - Camp Ends. When the troops left Camp Ordway it was the first time since June 21 that troops had not been in tents there. It marked the end of this District mobilization camp. When all of the other organizations left, there was a detachment of recruits and casuals in camp there—men who were not sent to the border. So since the troops were called into the field there have been tents on the ground continuously. When other District organizations return from the border, they will be sent to their armories to be quartered until rustered out. until missed Over $800.00 has been raised so far and it is expected when all the returns are in fully $1,200 will be raised.

ATTORNEY JONES IN NEW YORK. He Is En Route to Ithaca, New York, Where He Will, Speak—He Visits Heardquarters—He Meets Frank J. Hogan, Who Introduces Him to Rep- resentative Republicans—Hon. Chas W. Anderson Doing Great Work. Special to The Washington Bee. New York City, Oct. 23—Lawyer Thos. Jones of Washington, D. C. called at the headquarters of the publican National Committee, today had a conference with many of the leading men at the helm who are managing the great machinery of the publican organization at this time. Mr. Jones had just arrived from Long Branch, N. J., stopping at Cumber land, and after spending a few hours here, is en route to Ithaca, N. Y. He is to speak tomorrow. where he is speaking of the outlook for our national ticket, Mr. Jones said, "Don't ask me too much at one time, I prefer to answer one question at a time. I do not think Mr. Wilson should be re-elected, first, because he is too unstable; he lacks poise of judgment; and like an acrobat or a leapfrog. Change his opinions on a great public question in a night; the paramount canal toll propaganda; his unwillingness to increase the strength of our army and navy; his continuing billowing after Germany when Great Britain is seizing are England are rilving our mails and holding up millions of dollars of goods bought by our merchants and business men in this country and making only a feeble protest against those outlawries practiced on our citizens ought to be resented at the polls and place Charles E. Hughes in the White House, and I believe these things will be at end. "Answering your question as regards my observations of the negro and what part he is, taking in the campaign, he is not as active as he might be but there is a reason for it. Many of the negro voters, as I have had a chance to observe, resent the appointment of the colored advisory committee. Yet this committee is doing splendid work on. Chas. W. Anderson and his corps of help are earnest at work and they could accomplish more. They have money, speakers and agencies at their command, but they are handicapped by the so-called leading negroes in the states who resent the gentlemen sending in any outside colored unless they send for him. Hence the committee's lists bristles with names of men waiting in and about town to be called. I fear the only call they will hear will be Gabriel's trumpet on the resurrection morn." Lawyer Jones and Frank J. Hogan met at the headquarters together. Mr. Hogan introduced the lawyer to a large number of republican politicians who had just called upon the National chairman as Lawyer Jones came in the room. All signs point to the trumpetman election of our national ticket carrying the ouse and the United States Senate. Lawyer Jones had with him a copy of the Washington Bee containing a speech he delivered in Jersey September 10, on the segregation of the negro by this adminis tration. The Advisory National Com mittee complimented him on the same and kept copy of the Bee.

HOWARD THEATER Its 5th Anniversary—A Large Audience Greets Manager Thomas—Let's Give Mr. Thomas a. Testimonial. Last Monday was the 6th anniversary of the management of the Howard Theater by Mr. Andrew J. Thomas. It has been 5 years since Mr. Thomas assumed charge of the Howard Theater. At the beginning the people were too religious to give the theater its proper support. Mr. Thomas lost thousands of dollars to give the people in this city the kind of theater they claimed they wanted. Efforts were made by several representative colors to build a theater. The moves went so far as to collect several thousand dollars which has never been refunded to the stock holders. The first manager of the Howard Theater was a Mr. W. H. Smill, of Chicago, claimed to have been the greatest theatrical manager in the United States. Messrs. Beredict and Rothenthold, the proprietors, were in charge. The management failed and Mr. Tmomas, who was the only man to make the Minnehaha a success, sold out to assume management and charge of the Howard Theater which has been successfully conducted by him ever since. A movement was on foot some time ago to purchase the building but none had the temerity to come for ward with the money. The Bee confidently believes that Mr. Thomas would put up four thousand and purchase the theater out and out. All kinds of propositions have been made to the present manager of the Howard Theater but none have substantially materialized. Mr. Thomas has not only endeavored to please the people in this city by giving them first class shows but he has given them the best talent the world could produce. He has been liberal to the people and organizations by giving to them the theater gratis and often below cost, not doing so much as to pay expenses. MR. ANDREW J. THOMAS, The enterprising manager of the Howard Theater, who celebrated the 5th anniversary of the management of that theater Monday, October 23. Have the people demonstrated sufficient appreciation of the efforts of Mr. Thomas to please them? The Bee two years ago suggested a testimonial to this progressive little manager and what was the result? Although the testimonial was a howling success, a number of blatherskirts, jacklegs and demagogues attempted to throw cold water on the enterprise. The people responded and a most handsome loving cup was presented to the manager. Today he deserves more than a loving cup. He should be given a substantial testimonial. Who will start it? Who will start in speaking of the Howard Theater, the assistant, managers, Messrs. Byers and Vernon Thomas, should not be overlooked. Mr. Byers is a great acquisition to the theater. Mr. Vernon Thomas is growing. He is now one of the active managers. He has had a great schooling under his brother lady ushers in the Howard Theater has been a great improvement. These young ladies are from some of the best families. They don't come from the common lot but from the high class families. They are not too proud to work for an honest livelihood. The young lady ticket dispersers, the ticket receivers are all high class employees. The success of the Howard Theater has been due to just such help and assistants as has been enumerated in The Bee. The music under the direction of Prof. Edward Minor has excelled and to some extent has excelled any orchestra in the city. The patrons of the theater are composed of the leading citizens. The theater goers have their nights and they are divided into classes and societies. classes and societies Let's tender him a testimonial. FOR HEALTHY SIAM King's Brother Begins Hygiene Study at Harvard. HAS BEEN STUDENT ABROAD. Lieutenant In Navy, He Says Saving of Life Is More to His Taste Than Taking It-Declares That He Would Rather Build Hospitals Than Warships. Cambridge, Mass.—Mahildo, prince of Songkia, brother of Vajiravudh, king of Slam, has begun his studies at Harvard university and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, which will gain him a certificate in public health. Preventive medicine and hygiene and sanitary engineering will be his chief studies. The prince is slightly built, gentle in manners and speech [Name] Photo by American Press Association. PRINCE MAHIDO OF SIAM. and twenty-four years old. He has been a student ten years in England and Germany. His brother, the king, visited this country as crown prince. "I came here because I believe I can learn more here," said Prince Mahidol. "I am a lieutenant in the navy, now on reserve, but saving life is more to my taste than taking it. I would rather build hospitals than warships. I have chosen the study of hygiene because I think it will give me the widest opportunity to be useful." The prince described his vision of a new Siam, to be realized, perhaps, in fifty years. Then the Siamese government will seriously concern itself with the public health, the care of the body will be taught, in the public schools, sanitary living made compulsory, preventable diseases really prevented, unfit marriages made impossible and the sale of rice liquor, a state monopoly, greatly restricted. THIEVES DECLINE WATCH. When Called to Their Attention They Politely Refused to Take It. Philadelphia. — Confronted by two men armed with revolvers on a dark stretch of City Line road near West Overbrook station, Haverford township, Dr. C. W. Keating of Wawaa jammed on the brakes of his automobile and stopped. His wife and mother were in the machine. When Dr. Keating told the Haverford township police about it later he said they were "very gentlemanly highwaymen." "Get down out of there," they said to him. "No, not the ladies, just you, and keep your hands way up in the air. Thank you." One man scratched Dr. Keating and found $30. "Don't you want my watch too?" he asked when they waved him back to his car. "Oh, no, thank you," was the reply. "All we want is money. Hurry away, please." DOG IN A HOSPITAL Interno Sets Leg In Spintls, Now Pel of the Nurses. Madison, Wis. - A little stray terrier fell under a street car. One blind leg was broken, and after the quick bowl and three legged scurry of the first fright the little dog dragged itself sad eyed and trembling down past the General hospital. A nurse touched at the sight brought it in. An internie jogged good humor at the nurse's pity, but he set the leg in splints. The little terrier was fed and petted until how his broken leg is healed and nearly as good as ever. But the little stray terrier has made the hospital his home. He refuses to leave now the cure is accomplished, so the staff adopted him, and he wags welcome to all the patients and surgeons as they reach the front porch. First Chinese Girl Student.

Cleveland, O.—A. romance which had its birth a half century ago in the public schools of Niles, but which was broken up by a lovers' quarrel, culminated at the parsonage of the Rev. T. Alfred Fleming when Mrs. Emma Davis and David Armstrong were married. Mrs. Armstrong is fifty-eight years old, her husband is sixty-two. Armstrong and his bride were playmates in Niles fifty years ago. Almost constant association brought their two hearts together, and as years passed plans were made for their marriage. Armstrong was then twenty-one. Then came the lovers' quarrel—a trivial disagreement—and the twain drifted apart. Armstrong married, so did his first love, and then nearly forty years passed away. Death left them single again, and fate drew them together. Both settled in Cleveland scarcely a thousand yards apart. Their love dream of youth was resumed. And they began courting anew. The aged "newlyweds" will make their home in Cleveland. SHARK KILLS FISHERMAN. Florida Man's Leg Chewed Up by Monster Caught In a Net. West Palm Beach.-J. L. Hanscom died in a hospital at Fort Pierce as the result of being attacked by a shark at Sewells point, near Palm Beach. He was assisting some fishermen in hauling in a fishing net, when a large shark was found entangled in the meshes. Hanscom jumped into the net and attempted to take the monster alive. In the struggle which followed the shark seized Hanscom's right leg and severely mangled it. Hanscom was rushed to the hospital in an automobile by a party of tourists passing at the time. His lacerated leg was amputated, but he died a short time afterward from loss of blood. This is the first known instance where any one has been attacked by sharks along this portion of the coast, and even then the shark was drawn into the net beyond the bathing limits off the beach. CELLULOID ON WOUNDS. English Use Thin Perforated Layers In Place of Lint. London. — Opinion among surgeons and nurses is practically unanimous in favor of the advantages of a new method of dressing large and painful wounds, wherein a thin layer of perforated celluloid is substituted for lint as the first covering for the raw wound. The plan was tried successfully first by Sir Allmoth Wright at St. Mary's hospital, Paddington, and now promises to become generally adopted. The celluloid, first rendered soft and pliable by being soaked in a 20 per cent solution of carbolic acid and then washed in a weak salt solution, is laid on the raw wound, the perforations being so numerous that it seems mostly holes. Fine lint soaked in a 5 per cent solution of common salt in sterile water is then placed over the celluloid, after which firm bandages are applied. Owing to the celluloid, much firmer pressure can be used than with ordinary dressings. X-RAY VICTIM DECORATED. Dr. Menard, Who Lost Two Fingers, Gets Legion of Honor. Paris.—Dr. Menard of the Cochin hospital was decorated with the Leg ion of Honor as a recompense for the loss of two fingers by exposure to the X-ray in hospital work. Dr. Menard, who has lost a finger from each hand, has accomplished admirable results in the location of pro- jectiles in the bodies of wounded soldiers. The loss of his first finger did not deter Dr. Menard from following up his research work in the radiog raphic room. In the loss of his finger he learned that tissue cells exposed to the action of the X-ray are subjected to a localized disease of nutrition and in consequence harden and rapidly denden. Through Dr. Menard's experiments at the Cochin hospital a surgeon there was able a few days ago to locate and extract a shrapnel bullet lodged under the heart of a wounded soldier in ten minutes. RAFFLES GETS $2,000 JEWELS Holds Up Family Three Hours Waiting For His Loot. New York. A soft spoken, well dress, nice appearing young man, with a silk handkerchief mask, robbed Mrs. Eugene Sennett in the Bronx of $2,000 worth of diamond rings and $20 in money after waiting three hours for her to return from the theater. During the wait he drank some of Mr. Sennett's best whisky, smoked several cigarettes, never forgetting to keep Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Hoffmire, who were staying with the young Sennett children, covered with his revolver as they lay in bed.

In just about ten days more we will all know who will be who in the presidential sweepstake race. Four years ago there was a bunch of presidential quantities around here who had their eyes glued on election day. Not so much this year. Out of the bunch Judge Terrell is the only one left, and it's no dead open and shut that he will be re-appointed. It's pretty near a clinch he won't be appointed if Hughes is elected. I was amused to see Jim Cobb's name signed to the mittee, known up in Harlam as the address issued by the com-"Advisory Committee." Jim joined the others in repudiating Woody Wilson. It's all right to repudiate him, cuss him up and down, and lambast him for segregatin' Hamites in the departments, and firn' the $4,000 per annum bunch, but what gets my goat is that Jim Cobb almost lost a heart tryin' to hold on to his office under Woody, and all the time he held over he was just as silent as some of our friends who are restin' easy over in Harmony. Cemetery 'about Woody's weak points. No man, outside of Judge Terrell, looked harder to show over the Wilson administration Jim Cobb. He was cillin' to take segregation, and any old thing for the privilege of stayin'. Now that he finally got turned turtle—removed from his $2,000 sincere, and now that he has an inclination to return to the pie counter, he is just awfully agin Woody. Well, mebby Cobb will get back under Hughes, and mabby he won't—taint a safe bet that he will. However, in the mean time, we must elect Hughes. I 'm hopin' we will but the dope comin' east from them there western states don't sound good to me. I'm like Teddy, "anything to beat Woody," and at that I 'm not a receptive, like Jim Cobb and the other professional office-holders who signed that jim-crow address to colored voters. It does beat the Jews what little interest seems to be up and stirrin' over the election. Voters are gettin' so use to elections now, and so use to changes, that they don't perspire every time an election comes around. Course the voters (?) here in the District aim much concerned, cause it can't be made no worse for them than it is now, but the white folks, they seem to be takin' about as little interest in the election as the colored brother. The silent vote is goin' to tell, and, though I hate awfully to admit it, accordin' to the dope sheet spread before me, it looks like this silent vote is a trifle too sweet on Woody to give Hughes a once-over. My good friends Charley Hall, Prof. Jennifer, who are now skirting 'the West' in a Pullman Sleepin' car gatherin' data about this north' in of so many descendants of Ham, are seen' that their friends gets copies of papers, as they Pullman along, describing how well they are treated, and how much information they are gettin', etc. etc. They are surely doin' a good job of press agentin', and I don't blame them for it. This is the first time such a thing has happened, and sendin' Charley and the Professor out, is a nice little political play of Woody to show he recognizes the race. Woody uses everything that comes to his mill, hits high or low ball, in or out curve, fade away or spitball, they all same to him. He used the threatened railroad strike for his own "pussonnel" self, hit out a safe Adamson Eight-Hour Texas leaguer, and afore one knew it, was purchased on third waitin' for some one to bat him in. Now a fellow, what will use a threatenet Pullman rollout stoke, his pussonnel" self, his depended upon" to use a couple of "light and dark meat" like Charley Hall; and Prof. Jennifer to hypolize Afro-Americans into the belief that they are being recognized. And would you believe it, several letters have been receivg statin' that quite a few misguided, misinformed, and insane colored voters, cast and west, are set on votin' for Woody cause he sent two suspects out to find out how many of our brothers have come north to escape lynchin' and jim-crowism: A little four-inch notice appeared in an eastern-paper recently to the effect that if Woody is re-elected, he will make a few nero appointments, over-riding objections of Southern Senators, and that almost to a certainty he will appoint a high class colored man, of his own pickin' to be Minister to Haith. That may be true, but he can't Bishop Walker, me with that dope. Any man who failed in four years to tag a darkman citizen can't let out no rumor to satisfy me, that he will "tag" one if re-elected. Hughes failed to tag anyone in two terms as governor of New York, and that's why Iaint plinn' no great hopes on him. But there is this difference between Hughes and Woody, which is a trifle in Hughes' favor; the whiskered Judge aint never told nobody, nowhere, and nowoh, and at no time, that he will appoint a nero to any office. Woody did a little to write for Woody, and he did that very thing, but rongued when asked to come across accord' to promise. If Hughes fails to give Ham anything, none of them can point to a single line, sentence, phrase, clause or word in which he said he would give them a frazzil' thing. We are just takin' Hughes on faith,—sort of Methodist faith, which permits a fellow to backslide after six months probation, but we aint takin' Woody on nothin', neither word nor faith. He jocked us once, but he wont do it no more, no place, no how.

Among the new members admitted to the organization were, Messrs. John Lacey, J. L. Britt and Captain John Mayo. By a unanimous vote of the body in session Sir Charles E. Davis was appointed chaplain. Mr. Davis is a charter member of the Colored Walters' Local, Union 726 and a delegate from that body to the Central Labor Union of this city. After the election of officers the organization listened to a very intelligent speech by Mr. John Lacey in which he touched on conditions in Mexico and praised the armament that now exists in the republican party. He said in part that we can learn the great lesson from conditions arising out of a one man revolt in an organization. He praised the great work of the association and pleaded with it to live up to the slogan "In union there is strength." The business manager, Mr. J. W. Davis, made a report on the plans for Christmas ball which will be held in the main auditorium of True Reformers' Hall on Thursday evening, December 21, 1916.

The Department of Labor is cognizant of the opposition in the South to the removal of its labor to other sections of the country, but so far as is known there is nothing the Federal authorities can do about it.

NEXT SCHOOL TERM OPENS OCT. 4, 1916. For catalog and detailed information, address: NEGROES IN POSTAL SERVICE. How the Democrat Demoralized the Service In Effort to Reach Negro Employees. Washington, October 23.—Second only in hideousness, and injustice to the Wilson segregation policy has been the so-called "Efficiency Rating System," prepared by the direction of the General Superintendent of the Railway Mall Service at Washington, January, 1914. This initiates a system of minus and plus points, from $ \frac{1}{2} $ to 500, for various offenses and credits; mostly, however, for offenses. Under the system, in any one year: the system 300 net minus marks prevent a clerk's meritorious promotion. 400 net minus marks prevent a clerk's successive promotion. 400 net minus marks will result in reduction of grade. 700 net minus marks will result in considering a clerk's removal or retention in the service. FIRST: The heavier ratio of penalties is not for inefficient service, but is for improper personal conduct, which has only a remote connection with efficiency. A brief comparison of demerits will show this. or delinquents will be Leaving mail in car, minus. 10 50; altercation or controversy with fellow clerk, or use of intemperate or abusive language while on duty, minus 25-250 Failure to catch mail, minus 5; waste of twine, minus 15. Failure to guard mail, minus 50; smoking in presence of public while in duty, minus 20-52. on duty, minus 20; loss of mail, minus 25-100; signing arrival and departure record for another clerk minus 200. another clerk, but another clerk. According to this, poor handling of mail is treated lightly, but a bad temper or uncertain conduct is heavily penalized. Yet it is said the system is designed to promote efficiency. SECOND: The system allows no corresponding accumulation of plus points as it does of minus points. For example: Clerks can receive from 50 to 500 minus points for several offenses; but only "Defending mail at the risk of person or life" can give 500 plus points. For "Furnishing information or assistance which results in the arrest of a person for depredation on the mail." 200 plus points are given. For "Protection of, and care of injured clerk at a wreck, as a voluntary act" 200 plus points. Two or three other such provisions are made. These are unusual awards and can be made very seldom, perhaps never in the life of the average clerk. For efficiency in examinations clerks may receive from 1 to 60 plus points only. An "efficiency" system which gives demerits freely and rewards very sparingly is based on a new philosophy which the dull mind of the writer cannot penetrate THIRD: The penalties are stated in "blanket" terms so as to be applied with facility at the direction of the superior officers. I have, copied, and for convenience numbered, a partial list of the heaviest penalties that are emphasizing the point: (1) When a clerk loiters or malingers on duty and fails to perform proper service, minus 50-200. prober (2) When a clerk acts in desultory or half-hearted manner when assisting another clerk, although of his own initiative, minus 60. (3) Discourtesy: to the public, minus 25-200; to a fellow clerk, minus 50; to a superior officer, minus 50. (4) When a clerk's manner of speech or correspondence is inde- pendent minus 20. cortus, minus (5) Importing incorrect or misleading information to the public regarding conditions of the service, minus 500 (6) When clerk is disrespectful regarding the service or the personnel of the service, minus 200. (7) False statement to superior officer, minus 500. (8) Insubordination, minus 500. (9) Imparting information to an unauthorized person, regarding the work of the office, minus 100. (10) Lack of interest in the service, (11) Untidiness; of person, on duty, minus 25; of desk, minus 25. (12) Imparting information to unauthorized persons regarding dispatches or volume of mail, minus 400. (13) Failure to expedite work, minus 25. (14) General carelessness not otherwise provided for, minus 10-50. The effectiveness of such a system in removing Negro clerks is better understood, by (1) those unfamiliar with Southern prejudice, when it is remembered that they are not welcomed by Democratic administrations because their positions are wanted for white men. In addition, the whites along the mail routes become more annoyed at their presence, and in many places do not allow negroes to run on mail-cars at all. Under this abomitable system the best clerks find it difficult to escape during a year with less than 200 minus points. It is therefore, quite easy, with such general charges to impose a sufficient complement of points to insure any clerk's removal whose place is wanted. FOURTH: The effect of the system has demonstrated its injustice. Negro clerks have been dismissed on every side. The official record, bristles with dismissal of Negro employees. Two things have hindered the effect. tiveness of this system to some degree: The efficiency of the Negro clerks and the difficulty in getting white men to pass the civil service examinations. The best white men in the South, as a rule, are not attracted to the Mail, Service, as in the North the colored men are not and those of less intelligence are frequently unable to pass the examinations. The standard is invariably lowered under a Democratic Administration and white men are urged to try for the Service but enough of the capable sort do not apply. Were it not that the Service would be seriously effected by the incompetence of office-seekers, the Negro clerks would have been even more largely removed. Vote for Hughes and Fairbanks.

By James Weldon Johnson—Contributing Editor to The New York Age ‘The vital consideration, before the country in the coming presidential election fs in some degree a question. of choice Between the policies of two great partiés, but in an overwhelming degtee it is a question of choice be- tween the personalities of the candidates of the two great partics it is a ques- tion of choice between the man Charles E. Hughes and the man Woodrow Wilson; 5 ‘This anomalous condition has been forced on the country by Woodrow Wiison, He has made bis own unfitness for the presidency a greater jesue than to, unfitness of bis. party to be continued in power. This he has. done by ‘acts inexcusable in the head of a nation. "There are partisans of ‘the President who point to hia program of legis- lation, claiming that it more than overbalances all his shortcomings. But » even if it is granted that Mr. Wilson should receive executive credit for whatever constructive legisiation Congress has passed in the last threo and a. half years, the claim of these partisans would not_necessarily hold good. Mr. Wilson's shortcomings aré not the kind that can be overbalunced, ‘A man might become the president of a bank, and by his industry and bis ability as a financier build it up into @ great and prosperous institution. He may ‘smoke or éwear or drink or refuse to join. the church, and: still be a good ‘bank president; but if he embezzles one dollar of the funds in- truated to him.he at once and forever; establishes his unfituess for such ‘a position, regardless of what his other qualifications and virtues might be. Mr, Wilson bas demonstrated his unfitness to be President of the United States, notwithstanding what his abilities and achievements may be. S'No man of timidity, of indecision, of inaction and of cowardice is At to be the head of a great nation, no matter how learned or virtuous or elo- quont ho may be. As well make such a man the captain of ship. Such & man at the head of affairs constantly places the State in danger, and bis influence saps the very thing that makes a group of people into a nation. President Wilson has shown that these are ingrained traits of his character; mn he has brought us tho danger and wrought.us the harm. - |] His partisians declare that he kept.us out of war. In.truth, no country has sought a fight with us, but these traits of Mr. Wilson's character have |more than once brought us to the brink ‘of war and, in-the case of Mexico, backed us over into a petty and dishonorable war. But greater than the ‘danger has been the harm. The very, fact that a considerable number of ‘American citizens, are not ashamed to proclaim openly their thanks that timidity and cowardice on tho part of the:President kept the country out of war {é proof of the emansculating influence’ the administration of Wood- row. Wilson has had on the nation. A few more administrations like the present, and the United States would ‘cease to be a nation worthy-of the name. en |, But timiaity, indecision, inaction and. cowardice are not the only traite of character that make Woodrow Wilson unfit for the presidency .of the United States. In nearly.everything that he says or writes or does there is revealed a profusion, a smoothness, a shiftiness, a lack of simple. direct- "Bessa senso of caleulatian, a flavor of opportunism that make it difficult to eve ini his sincerity. ‘There {s always the impression that he is not going straight and clean, there 1s the impression that the object he seems to be | going at. is not the main object in his-mind. * [eno Zn can eneane the conviction that Mr. Wilson is at heart a pacifist. | who tor policy's sake has masqueraded asvan advocate of preparedness? Or that he-is at heart an anti-suffragist\who for policy's ‘sake speaks fair words to'the women? 3 RY | veThese traits of character-aro entirely at variance with American ideals.

No one can doubt his meaning or intention when, he says concerning the : ‘Adamson bill: “If I were President I would not yield to force, whether put ‘| forth by capital of labor or any other agency—I would rather stand on_ that principle and be defeated than yleld one fot’or tittfe to get into office.” >| No intellectual slefght-of-band in those words.

More than ®lanything ‘else, it needs the national spirit revitalized, the national con y|sclousness reawakened. That is what Mr. Hughes means when he says: |“ want to see America firm in insistence upon her just rights with ‘the ¥| ideals of peace, but knowing how to secure peace with honor.

A Stormy Voyage—Days of Trial and Testing—The Apostle Encouraged by a Vision—"God Moves in a Mysterious Way"—The Sailors Cheered by the Helpful Spirit of the Apostle. "Commit thy way unto Jehovah; trust also in Him, and He will bring it to pass."—Poaim 31.5. NOT long after St. Paul's discourse before Festus and King Agrippa, opportunity was afforded for sending the Apostle and other prisoners to Rome under a strong guard. There were no derogatory charges preferred against St. Paul however. There being no direct intercourse between Rome and the little port of Caesarea, for a distance of six hundred miles the journey was made in a small trading vessel. The trip lasted from about the middle of August to September 1—good speed for a sailing vessel in those days; but the weather was fine. At Myra, St. Paul and two brethren who accompanied him were transferred, along with the other prisoners and the guard, to an Egyptian vessel en route to Rome with a cargo of wheat. Besides the crew, this vessel bore a considerable number of passengers—in all, two hundred and seventy-six persons. For several days the pleasant weather continued, and then it became stormy. The vessel abandoned her intended route in order to get under the lee of the island of Crete, and tarried until about October 1 at the port of Fair Havens, awaiting better weather. St. Paul drew attention to the dangers of continuing the stormy. The vessel abandoned her intended route in order to get under the lee of the island of Crete, and tarried until about October 1 at the port of Fair Havens, awaiting better weather. St. Paul drew attention to the dangers of continuing the voyage, and advised that they winter there. His opinion may have been the result of inspiration, but quite possibly was merely his own judgment of the weather, etc.; for, his trade as sailmaker would naturally bring him into contact with sailors, and interest him in all matters pertaining to the craft. But those in authority concluded to go to Phenice, a larger port. Before they had gone far, however, a typhonic northeast wind struck the vessel suddenly; and they were driven southward until they came under the shelter of the little island called Clauda. Here they undergirded the ship by placing chains and ropes under her keel, because the weight of the cargo and the severity of the storm had strained her. Then they lowered the gearing of the sails and continued to drive before the wind, guarding against sandbanks. The ship labored heavily in the storm. Part of her cargo was thrown overboard; and later on she was further lightened by casting overboard her heavier furniture, tackle, etc. The storm continued for several days. Neither sun nor stars were visible; and the captain could not tell his whereabouts; for the compass had not yet been invented. Hence all on board were abandoning hope. They had ceased to eat, and were almost in despair. During those fourteen days the Apostle had abundant opportunity to fear, to doubt and to question the Lord's providence. Apparently it was not until the night of the thirteenth day that the Lord sent an angel to St. Paul with a consoling message. (Verse 24.) We may safely assume that during those days of testing the Apostle remained heartily loyal in faith toward God, and that this message at the close was in the nature of an encouragement and an expression of approval. Promptly the Apostle made the matter known to the ship's company. Then he manifested his own faith in the message by cheerfulness and by breaking his fast, and by advising all the others to do likewise. His spirit was contagious. All were cheered; and doul tless all were impressed not only by the fact that this disaster had resulted from their failure to follow his advice, but also by the evidence of God's special favor toward him in connection with the knowledge of their ultimate rescue. A So should it be with the Lord's people. Whatever we know that is good or comforting or refreshing to ourselves we should dispense to others. Had the "Be of Good Heer!" should dispense to others. Had the Apostle kept the good news to himself, it would have implied either that he did not have faith in its fulfilment or that he was selfish. But having the Lord's spirit of generosity, as well as large trust in the Lord, he did not hesitate to make known the coming deliverance; and he glorified God in that he edited this knowledge to a revelation from Him. Evidently the prisoner had produced a deep impression upon many of the soldiers and the sailors. Who can say that at some future time the Apostle's brave, noble conduct may not have influenced some of his two hundred and seventy-six companions—possibly drawing some of them eventually to the Lord? So it should be with each of us. We should be prompt to tell to others the best tidings we have. Sympathy with the grooming creation in the various trials of life should lead us to point to the Lord's promises respecting the coming Kingdom and the blessings which shall then come to all. IS CHRIST YOUR ADVOCATE WITH GOD? Those Alone Who Have Taken the Steps of Repentance, Faith and Consecration Can Fully Understand God's Plan—The Meek and the Broken-Hearted Now Sought by the Lord. God's Message Not a Hammer to Break Hard Hearts—These to Be Broken Later—This Age Set Apart For Gathering the Lord's Jewels. PASTOR RUSSELL Dallas, Texas, Oct. 22. — Pastor Russell addressed the I. B. S. A. Convention here today. His theme was, "Christ the Advocate of the Church," and his text, "We have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the Righteous." —1 John 2:1. The speaker re- viewed, from the standpoint of a court of law, the Divine Plan for human salvation. He showed that the perfect man Adam was on trial for everlasting life before the Supreme Judge of the Universe; that Adam failed to clear himself of the charge of disobedience, and that the Court had passed upon him the extreme penalty of the Divine Law—death. He explained that, as a privilege by Divine arrangement, our Lord Jesus became suitable to be a Ransom-price for Adam and the unborn race condemned to death in him; that our Lord provided that Ransom-price by Divine arrangement by His sacrificial death. He deposited that Ransom-price in the hands of Divine Justice, as sufficient to secure the release of the whole world from death, and the cancellation of Adamic condemnation, as soon as the Church has been glorified. Meantime, our Lord is the Advocate of the Church, to whom is imputed the merit of His death. For some time the speaker has been deeply impressed with the 'thought that no one can have a proper understanding and appreciation of the Divine Plan unless he has taken the steps of repentance from sin, of faith in Christ's atoning sacrifice, and of full consecration to God. One living in unrepented-of sin is in no condition to receive Heavenly things; for God has declared that "none of the wicked shall understand." (Dan. 12:10). He does not wish His great Plan of the Ages to be understood by the wicked or even by those who prefer earthly things. The Divine Message speaks peace to those who are in trouble and who are looking to God for the righteousness which He will provide. Some have made a great mistake in thinking that preaching is a hammer whereby to break men's hearts. The Lord has commissioned no one to do so. During the great Time of Trouble, even now coming upon the world, many hard hearts will be broken, and thus brought into a humble, teachable condition, where the Voice of God may be heard. During the incoming Age the Lord will take away the stoniness of heart from mankind and give them hearts of flesh instead.—Ezekiel] 11:19-21; 36:25-27. But now, in advance of Messiah's Kingdom, God is seeking those whose hearts are already broken. (Isaiah 01:1:5.) Whoever would become a follower of Jesus must not only turn from sin, but must give to God both himself and all that he has or hopes to have. He must renounce his human nature in order to be begotten to the spiritual nature, to be thenceforth a New Creature in Christ. (2 Corinthians 5:17.) Then Jesus becomes his Adocate; and he receives the imputation of the merit of Christ's sacrificial death, as a covering of all his natural imperfections. An advocate is a lawyer, an attorney, a representative at a law court. All mankind, represented in Father Adam, stood before God's Court, and were sentenced to death in Him. (1 Corinthians 15:21.) If any of the Adamic race would now come back to the Divine Court and ask that the record of sin be blotted out as far as he was concerned, the Heavenly Court would say, "We cannot receive you; for we do not receive sinners. The only way to approach Us is through the Advocate whom we have provided—Jesus Christ." Our Lord became the Church's Advocate when He ascended on High and appeared in the Divine presence for His followers. (Hebrews 9:24.) A lawyer goes into court and appears for his client, giving his name as that client's representative. Thenceforth the court refers to the lawyer whatever it has to say regarding that particular case. It was the Divine arrangement that our Lord appear for the whole Church at once. God had already foreordained the number of the Elect and the character which they must attain. (Romans 8:29, 30; 12:1.) The work of the entire Gospel Age is to find this class. When Christ appeared in the Heavenly Court for His Church, He made a presentation of His sacrificial merit on their behalf. He advocates their cause by imputing to them the merit of His sacrifice, thus making them presentable in the Father's presence and acceptable as sons of God. Because of this advocacy those who offer themselves in full consecration to God through the Redeemer are begotten as New Creatures in Christ. NOTES OF THE CAMPAIGN. New York, Oct. 22.—The Democrats are on the run. Keep them running until the are run out of power, November 7th. In one of his addresses to a colored audience in New York City Judge Hughes said: "I want every one of you to be protected in your sacred rights as citizens, and have the opportunity that you are justly entitled to have in this great commonwealth. Mr. William H. Ferris, one of the intellectual men of the colored race, writing in the Champion Magazine, says: "President Wilson has so attempted to degrade the Negro that his re-election offers no hope to the colored race. In Charles E. Hughes we have a man of vision, insight, courage and high principle, and I believe that he will be a wise, just and righteous President, who will give the colored brother an opportunity to prove his mettle, or win his spurs. At this stage of the political game, we do not ask for charity or sympathy, but for an equal chance or fair play. And this. I believe, Judge Charles Evans Hughes will give the colored brother. "And, with an equal chance in the race of life, of fair play, secured and granted the black man will seek shelter from no tempest or exposure, from no ordeal or criticism. But with the bright standards of liberty of 'opportunity in the economic and industrial world and equity of civil and political rights nailed to the masthead, he will be content to stand or fall, to sink or swim, to live or die and to survive or perish with the great mass of American citizenship upon the broad decks of the good old ship American liberty." Hon. Charles W. Anderson who has been placed in charge as Director of the work of the Colored Advisory Committee is the most popular National leader, we have and one of the greatest orators in the land. It will interest our readers to know that the final make-up of the governing Board of the Colored Advisory Committee of the Republican National Committee, appointed by Herbert Parsons, is as follows: Director, Charles W. Anderson, New York. Assistant Director, James A. Cobb, of the District of Columbia. SECRETARIES: Perry W. Howard, of Mississippi, Commitee on Speakers; Ralph E. Langston, of New York, Committee on Registration; T. Thomas Fortune, of New Jersey, Committee on Literature. STENOGRAPHERS: Mrs. D. R. Reynolds and Mrs. Florence C. Woodson of New York. MESSENGER: Messenger to the Committee, Harry S. Middleton: The Chairman of Committees are as follows: Committee on Speakers, Charles W. Anderson, of New York; Committee on Newspapers, W. H. Lewis, Massachusetts; Committee on Literature, H. L. Johnson of Georgia; Committee on Organization, Charles A. Cottrill of Ohio. The staff is located on the 8th floor of the Postal, Life Building at 511 Fifth Avenue, New York City. Speaking of President Lincoln, Judge Hughes, in speaking to a colored audience, in New York, said: "We revere the memory of that great man who, in silent fortitude, bore his burden; who was content always to be right, careless alike of praise or of blame, who was more anxious to be just than to be famous, who was more anxious to be fair than to hold office, and through all his life breathed the intense desire to give liberty, to give freedom, and in all that he did to answer with his conscience in the presence of the God who gave it to him. Hustle the way you intend to vote and vote the way you hustle—for Hughes and Fairbanks and Victory. Endorsed by President. of Selig Polyscope Company. Mr. Wm. N. Selig, one of the pioneer motion picture makers in this country, is very much interested in the production of the big race picture, now in process of construction. "The subject is rich in possibilities," said Mr. Seilg. "It is a very human subject, filled with the finest pictorial and dramatic values. It will appeal to millions of people all over the world. The time was never so ripe for the presentation of a master photoplay, which will appeal to the masses—foster a sane racial understanding." The prologue of this twelve reel picture will be taken in Africa during the winter months. CROOM. STATION. Mrs. Ada A.

Raising Swine Not a Finishing School For Debutantes. Holtville, Cal. - Raising hogs for pleasure and profit is the occupation of Miss Josie Fuller, seventeen, the youngest and best all around feminine pork producer in the Imperial valley. It is her ambition to become the best expert on hogs in her district. Her herd numbers fifty strong and is increasing. "Pig culture isn't aesthetic work, of course," said Miss Fuller. "It can't be considered a finishing school for debutantes, but there's money in it." She has established a record of developing her porkers for the market at a cost of $3½ cents a pound. "Women may not admire hogs, but if they don't it's because they know so little about them. Once interested they become just as capable as men in handling swine." TWO DEATHS IN ONE HOME.
