Washington Bee

IF IT'S NEWS, IT'S IN THE BEE, FOR THE BEE IS A NEWSPAPER. THE BEE WASHINGTON Washington's Best and Leading Negro Newspaper-That's THE BEE INSIDE STORY Of the Gross Mismanagement of Hughes' Campaign. Meinbers of Colored Advisory Committee Obsessed with a desire to visit Punishment. Fight of New York Age and Link Johnson Against Hon. Chas. W. Anderson Fruitless. Why The Bee was Censored. Ohio Spilled the Beans. VOL. XXXVII, NO. 29 INSIDE Of the Gross Misman Campaign. Meinb sory Committee O to visit Punishmen Fight of New York Age Hon. Chas. W. Anderson was Censored. Ohio Sp New York, Nov. 20.—It may not get one very fair to indulge in post-mortem speculation over the recent election. However it can be said without any violation of the truth, that when the story of the management of the Hughes campaign is written it will go down in history as the worst managed campaign in the history of the Republican party, and that too in the face of the fact that the committee had more funds at its disposal than ever before. Both the white and negro end of the campaign was poorly, amateurishly managed and the defeat of Judge Hughes was due solely to mismanagement of his campaign. But the whites can write their own history of their part in the campaign, and I will merely, in a casual way, deal with the negro end of it. First The New York Age made a vicious fight against Hon Charles W. Anderson, the most skilful and effective negro politician in the state, to prevent his heading a colored bureau. Then a gentleman from Georgia, without a vote or a voting constituency, would take up his abode here immediately the national chairman was began to harrass Mr. Anderson, and oppose him, in the hope that he would be selected to head the department. These fights loosened up a bad feeling, so bad that the negro entered the fight split up in factions. To bring order out of chaos the colored Advisory Committee was brought into life, and Hon Charles W. Anderson, and George opponents, was chairman. So far so good. It soon however, developed that some members of this so-called advisory committee were more intent on visiting punishment on other colored men than securing harmonious results. The gentleman from Georgia, and one or two others, among them it is said a gentleman from the District of Columbia, also without a vote or voting constituency, of pure jealousy, urged that Ralph Tyler of Ohio, who had been a tower of strength in the past two presidential campaigns, be ignored and kept out of the campaign. Wm. H. Lewis, former assistant Attorney General, although he knew absolutely nothing about the newspapers of the country, was assigned to list colored newspapers that should be used, in his opinion. Because the Bee had spoken well of some Democrats who had favored the negro, Mr. Lewis censored The Bee off the list. While he was censoring The Bee, a Republican newspaper, off the list because he had spoken well of two democrats who had championed the cause of the race, the white Republican committee was placing hundreds of thousands of dollars of advertising with Democrate and independent white papers that were openly and bitterly opposing Judge Hughes. It was not apparent about the rooms of the Advisory Committee, that either James Cobb, and Whitfield McKinlay, members of the ever ventured to even remonstrate against censoring The Bee off the list. When news began to reach the head in her support of the party, and that it might go for Wilson, and that neither Hon. H. C. Smith, the fighting editor of the Cleveland Gazette, or George Myers or Ralph Tyler were taking part in the campaign, Chairman W. Anderson took the in his teeth, waved aside the jealous opposition of the gentleman from Georgia, and the District of Columbia, and, in the final analysis co-operation and activity. Tyler, who always been regarded as a sort of fearless fellow, sent an immediate Myers, for there was nothing doing, and Editor Smith gave evidence that he too busy assisting in the defeat for reelection of Gov. Frank Willis to bother about belated invitations to help the Advisory Committee out of the awful hole it was in. And so it was, one blunder after another until it was too late. Every one contacted with the National Committee agrees that Ohio was the pivotal state that started the trouble for Hughes, and, in the final analysis selected Wilson. Had Hon. Charles W. Anderson been given absolute control and had a few voteless jealous members, without a voting following, beer left off the committee, and had The Age not inaugurated a fight against Mr. Anderson, and then suddenly added, but not until after the seeds of factional strife had been sown perhaps a different story might have of the Colored Advisory Committee Although George Harris came stout to Mr. Anderson's defense, when the fight was started against him here in New York, special palus were taken to keep Mr. Harris off the Advisory Committee. It is stated here that Charles Plickett, one of the three members of the committee from the District of Columbia, urged that it was wrong to undertake to punish The Bee for printing the news, but being unsupported by the other two members from the District, he was not able to prevail against the determination of Lewis to censor The Bee. In the postmortem talk heard about New York the suggestion is offered that perhaps Smith and Tyler the ignored Ohioans are quietly laughing to themselves now, over the results; that the voleless gentleman from Georgia can now return to the south to wait another four years, and that Lewis, Cobb, McKinlay, et. al., who expected to land again in office, can now reflect, during the next four years, on the uncertainties of politics, and their part taken in the censoring of The Bee. Hon. Charles W. Anderson, now that Governor Whitman was presented will have nothing to worry him, and the praise given him by Colonel Roosevelt, the patron saint of The Age, shows how futile it was to inaugurate a fight against the most productive negro politician in New York. The Colored Advisory Committee of this recent national campaign, will go down in history as a hunch of jealous ingrates, with a few notable exceptions, who were too busy planning to punish the strongest man of the race to give proper and effective attention to winning a political battle. But they drew down their expenses, liberal expenses, too, for merely attitudinizing. When it is considered what an enormous amount of money was spent this year by the National Republican Committee for legitimate advertising in white newspapers, Democratic as well as Republican, and the mere pittance spent with negro newspapers for advertising the folly of having selected Mr. Lewis, who knows nothing of newspapers, to look after the negro press is more apparent. In 1912 and 1908 campaigns colored newspapers were paid hundreds of dollars for legitimate advertising, because some one handled that end who knew the importance of newspaper publicity. Had Ohio been left attached to the western bureau something different might have been told. It is not probable a past master like Phil Brown who was in charge at Chicago, would have stood for the ignoring of such effective men as were ignored in Ohio. But Ohio was switched under the eastern headquarters where novices and amateurs managed and jealousy prevailed and so Ohio went wrong because of neglect. Ohio spilled the beans.

Among those present were several members of Morning Star Lodge No. 40. Never before in the history of Elkdom has the two local lodges display so much harmony, and loyalty, to each other as has been noticed since the beginning of Grand Exalted Ruler Scott's administration. The two lodges have received an invitation to attend services at central E. Davis, to assist in paying off the E. Davis, to assist in paying off the church debt. It will be remembered that these two local bodies laid the corner-stone of the above mentioned church several years ago.

French Decide to Abandon Their Use In War. ARE REGARDED DANGEROUS Extreme Susceptibility of Explosive Has Outweighed Its Wonderful Detonating Qualities -- Tremendously Successful Experiments Were Made With Volatile Agent When It Was First Used. Parts. After a good deal of experimentation the French army has given up its attempts to use liquid air as a high explosive in warfare, because of its extreme susceptibility to detonate from shock. Tremendously successful experiments were made with this volatile agent at first, but they were successful only under perfectly agreeable conditions. For instance, bombs for bombarding aeroplanes were made with liquid air as the explosive which some judged to be a hundred times more powerful than bombs of a similar size employing pluric acid or any of its prototypes. But it was soon learned that the sudden descent or even rapid swooping of an aeroplane carrying liquid air zombs might set off the dangerous cargo. It happened on one occasion. An aviator dipped suddenly, and nothing was ever found of him or his machine. Then the bombs were carried over elaborately prepared targets and dropped from captive balloons. The effect of the explosion was marvelous. Instead of reducing the target to matchwood and wreckage, the detonation actually wiped out every vestige of the place where the huge, cumbersome target had been. It was estimated that the concussion of the explosion would have killed any living creature within 150 yards. Shell charged with liquid air cannot of course be fired from any projectile, the shock of firing would detonate the explosive and wreck the gun. Attempts have been made to use liquid air grenades and liquid air bombs in trench mortars, which are fired by a spring; much as a catapult's missile is projected. But the extreme "touchiness" of the explosive has outweighed its wonderful detonating qualities. The Germans also have failed to utilize liquid air thus far. A TRUE GEORGE WASHINGTON He Tells How He Won a Medal "Somewhere In France." Philadelphia—George Washington, a United States marine from Kentucky, who does not bid fair to emulate the truth telling record of his illustrious namesake, marched proudly down Broad street with a newly won sharpshooter's medal planned to the breast of his uniform. Attracted by the medal, which closely resembles the Maltese cross worn by some European heroes, an old gen tleman asked him how he had won it, and George delivered a picturesque account of stirring deeds on shell torn battlefields, while one by one the crowd gathered and listened in awe-struck silence. "But I say, old chap," interrupted a stranger, "where did all this happen?" "Oh, somewhere in France," returned George cheerfully, and the spellbler's audience melted away. WHAT'S IN A NAME? $500,000 That's the Claim of Achille Joseph Oishel, Formerly Hoschek. New York.—There is $500,000 in this name, or, rather, in the change of it, if the owner, Achille Joseph Oishel, reckons correctly. Mr. Oishel, a lawyer, living at 189. Sterling place, Brooklyn, says that the family name was Hoschek for 1,400 years, but that his father changed it to Oishel on leaving Austria under a political cloud many years ago. In running through papers following the death of his mother last April he found one which indicated that he as the oldest surviving Hoschek is entitled to an Italian estate worth $500,000, and he applied to County Judge Fawcett in Brooklyn for permission to assume the old name with a view to making claim on the Italian government. Permission was granted. GETS BONUS TO. STAY SINGLE School Board Offers Premium of $5 a Month to Outwit Cupid. Highland, Kan.—Miss Ella Eaton of Highland, who will teach in the schools of Metcalf, Ariz., during the coming year, will receive a bonus of $5 a month if she refrains from marrying until the end of the school term next spring. Marrying girls, have been in great demand at Metcalf. The school board of that town has had so much trouble looking for new teachers after school has been in session three or four months that it was decided to offer a special bonus to the schoolteachers who will remain single. Steer Lived Six Weeks on Roots. Richmond, Ky.—Charles Benton lost a steer, or at least thought he had. Search failed to find the animal, and he had given it up as gone when six weeks later, he passed a sinkhole on the farm and saw the steer in it. It had lived during the time on roots and whatever else it could find. Mr. Benton says the steer weighed about 1,000 pounds when it disappeared, and it only weighed 600 when it was found. Three Die and Several Violently Ill After Inhaling Chemicals. Boston.—Three carpenters lost their lives after inhaling fumes from chemicals with which the Leyland line steamship Devonlan was fumigated in an effort to exterminate rats. Three others, members of the same working squad, who went to their rescue, were overcome. Hospital physicians said their condition was serious. William E. Sterling and Daniel Dempsey, first to enter the hold, died on the deck of the steamer after being brought out by members of the Devonlan's crew wearing improvised gas masks. William L. Sterling, foreman of the gang and father of one of the victims, died later at a hospital. Manager Thomas of the International Mercantile Marine company said the fumigation was under direction of the port authorities. GIRL, BLIND FOUR YEARS, SUDDENLY REGAINS SIGHT Irvington, N. J.—I can see, mamma!" said Genevieve King, eleven-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John J. King, to her mother. The mother could hardly believe it was true, but the child can see plainly, after having been blind four years. "It must have been the hand of God which lifted the blindness from my daughter's eyes," said Mrs. King. "Genevieve was sent home from school four years ago by the medical inspector, with instructions that she be treated for pink eye. She rapidly grew worse, and two months later became totally blind. Physicians' treatment seemed to have no effect. "She began to show improvement when I massaged her eyes with boracic acid, witch hazel and water. For five months I have continued this constantly. I wished to get a bill changed, and she asked if she might do the errand. I was afraid to let her go out alone, but she insisted. In a few moments she returned. She ran swiftly across the room and flung herself into my arms, with the cry, 'I can see, mamma!'" The girl said she groped her way downstairs and upon the walk, "when suddenly everything was light in front of me, and I could see and run back to tell mamma. My eyes do not hurt now, but the back of my head aches awfully." She will return to school soon. TWO RODE A FISH. Man and His Son Were Mounted For a Long Time In River. Wichita, Kan.—C. A. Whitney of Route 0, on the west side, and his sixteen-year-old son rode around on the back of a forty-two pound catfish for half, an hour in the Chickaskla river near Drury the other day. They finally landed the fish and brought it to Wichita. Mr. Whitney and his son have been camping for the last month. Neighbors told them of several times seeing a monster fish in the river. Mr. Whitney, wading into the river, felt around until he located the fish. He got one hand in the catfish's gills and jumped on its back. The fish darted forward and whipped around in the water until it was about to throw its rider off. Mr. Whitney's son rushed to his father's aid and climbed on top of the latter's back to weigh down the catfish. For half an hour the two men rode the fish around, struggling to get it to the bank. They finally succeeded. BARK MAKES DOG·A·HERO. Neighbors Find Mrs. Matt Allen Near Death From Gas. New York.—Should Mrs. Matthew Allen, sixty-seven years old, of 410 Fourth street, Brooklyn, wife of Matt Allen, a former racing trainee, recover she probably will owe her life to her pet dog, Baby. The barking of her dog aroused neighbors, who detected the odor of gas coming from Mrs. Allen's apartment. They broke, in and found the woman half conscious. She was taken to the Methodist Episcopal hospital. The gas escaped from a leaky jet. WHIPPINGS HIS PENALTY. And They Will Be With Switches From Trees Boy Cut Down. New York.—That he got a thrashing a week for three weeks was the sentence imposed in the children's court at Jamaica on Edward Schultz, fifteen years old of that place. 'The boy had admitted chopping down three trees on property owned by John J. Bliss, president of the "citizens" association. "Lick him with switches from the trees he chopped," suggested Justice Morgan L. Ryan to the culprit's father, who nodded grimly in the affirmative. Pawned Cold From His Teeth. Chicago.—I sought H. Hoffmann, according to a verdict in the Chicago municipal court, had his tooth get to get the gold, pawned the product and sought whisky with the phants. He was sent to the judge of collection in complaint of the suspect, who failed to pay SOUTHERN MIGRATION. The Advice of The Bee Headed, Thousands Have Left the South and Continue to Leave—Honor to Whom Honor is Due—Intelligent Negroes Commit the Most Blunders. Trace the doings of the editor of The Bee and you will find him to be right on nearly all questions which concern the welfare of his race. That he was right in the wise advice he gave concerning the colored citizens leaving the bloody South is seen in the movements which has caused thousands of colored families to leave that God-forsaken section of this country. The Bee's advice is bearing much good fruit, and may the echo of that good advice be heard and responded to until all of our people shall have made their escape from the states where colored men and women dare not assert their rights to live on the face of the earth. We have what may be called some very smart men of our race. But sometimes the smartest of them play the fool. Take for instance, the fight that was made against Mr. Chase for having acknowledged the kind deeds shown the entire colored citizens of this country by a few high-classed Democratic Senators of the United States. Who lead the fight against The Bee? Why it was one of our so-called smartest defenders of the race, the Hon. William H. Lewis formerly an assistant U. S. Attorney. The Bee gave honor to those to show honor was due and we fail to see how any fair and sane Negro could differ with him. The wise (?) leader—the Honorable William H. Lewis—should have sanctioned The Bee's course along this line women of the race will certainly accept The Bee's course along this line rather than that of the seemingly blind leader, Lewis. Why didn't Mr. Lewis give praise to some of our good republican senators for the fight they made for his race? He couldn't do it for the simple reason there were no such republican senators, who were that much interested in his race, to be found. It is the duty, then, or the colored race to make friends in all political parties. It is not the party, but good and just men and measures, we should seek. And none but a blind leader will glorify a republican Negro-hating rascal, and enemy, and damn a democratic gentleman and friend. Do you hear me? We some times go to the extreme in many of the political battles. We seen to have our eyes invited on one thing too much. And we do it, too, to the detriment to our own selves. We should be more like the man who was praying for a change, (something like the many thousands of voters looked for at the decision of this last election)—in his prayer he said: "Good God, good devil, good God good devil." But, hold on, said one of the brethern, "why do you say good God good devil?" "Well said the man at prayer, "I say good God, good devil because I don't know whose hands I am going to fall into." So during the recent election we should have said, "good God, good devil." For we were not sure whose hands we were going to fall into. But we fell into the hands of the devil! And he's got us—he's got us, all right with the Hon Wm H. Lewis thrown in for good measure. The Bee had enough fore thought about it to say, "good devil" ence, anyhow. So the place to which it may be assigned might not call for as much fanning as the place to which the chairman on Negro newspapers may have to go, etc., etc. Well the great political battle has been fought and is oer! And the end furnishes us with much food for thought. The Good Book says: "Be sure your sins will find you out." The republicans have long since committed the sin of omission. They have set silently by and allowed the colored man's voting privileges to be taken from him without making any great fight against it. That is one of the sins that have found them out in the two great defeats which have come to them in the two great elections. There was enough colored voters in the south to have made Hughes' election sure if they had not been denied the right of suffrage. That right was taken BEE-3 from them while the republicans, for years, had both Houses of Congress and could have put a quietus on the whole business in short order. But they wouldn't do it. Their failure to protect the colored citizens political rights in the south is, beyond any doubt, one of the things that cost the republicans to suffer the defeat which befell them on the 7th instant. Then, "be sure your sins will find you out!" No longer can the republicans boast of the fact that they can win the national elections independent of the Negro vote. They have been defeated twice, now, in succession, and if President Wilson would live up to his sworn duty as Chief Magistrate of this Country, if he would repent and deal justly to all of the American citizens alike, it will be a deal of a long time before a republican will get back in the White House again: A majority of the people will not always stand to be denied of their God given rights by a minority of unjust men. What right has a few men to say to thousands of other men that they are forbidden to enjoy the rights which they (the few) enjoy? None at all. Not only have nearly all of the colored voters of the south been disfranchised, but there are thousands of poor white men who are denied the right of suffrage. And the wish of these citizens of America was not expressed in the recent election. They are intimidated and threatened with violence to the extent that they must remain away from the polls. Hence we believe the whole country would be justified in demanding that the entire electoral vote of the south be thrown out. This would allow Hughes to enter in at the straight gate to the White House. J. C. CUNNINGHAN COLORED SOCIETY. Robert Moten Doing Good Work. Roanoke, Va., Nov. 16.—The fourth annual meeting of the Colored Organ- THE BAR The only electrical hair, face and skin culturist in the city. Every electrical appliance that is used in connection with the face, hair and skin may be seen at this school. ization, Society of Virginia, presided over by Dr. Robert R. Moten, Principal of, Tuskegee Institute, brought to Roanoke several hundred colored men and women who are active in organizing school improvement leagues, clean-up and better-health campaigns, canning and sewing clubs, clubs for boys and young men, and co-operative enterprises. Reports of progress in community improvement were brought from many parts of Virginia. Everywhere that white people and their colored neighbors have worked together to improve race relations there has come the two-fold blessing: racial good-will and community progress. Dr. Moten and his loyal co-workers have helped to revolutionize hundreds of communities. The report of Professor T. C. Erwin, the Society's field agent, shows that in a single year the "Clean-up Campaign" in twenty counties of Virginia brought splended returns: Dwellings painted, 35; dwellings whitewashed, 311; homes cleaned, 1006; fences repaired and built, 121; outbuildings whitewashed, 370; homes screened, 51; yards cleaned, 1029; sanitary closets built, 67; closets repaired, 21; barnes and outbuildings cleaned, 138; wells and springs improved,130; schools and school yards cleaned,47; churches better ventilated, 20. "It is impossible" says Professor Erwin, "to estimate the moral and practical good accomplished through the work done in these twenty counties and in a similar way in most of the other counties of Virginia." Major Allen W. Washington, commandant of cadets at Hampton Institute and successor to Robert R. Moten, is the new president of the Colored Organization Society. Major Washington is a Hampton Institute product. He is widely known as a wise leader, a forceful speaker, and a man of strong personality. Racial Co-Operation.

Plea For Efficiency. Dr. Moten, in his address as retiring president, emphasized the importance of securing the co-operation of state officials in public campaigns for better health and better schools. He outlined the industrial opportunities which are opening up to the colored people, and urged his hearers to be "so faithful, so efficient, so prompt, so reliable, so courteous, and so conscientious in work, whatever that work may be, whether in the shop, in the kitchen, on the farm, or on the street," that people cannot dispense with their services. NATIONAL NEWS NOTES. Brief Bits of News and Comment On Men and Women. Educational Results Shown At Negro Fair Memphis. Jenn.—What applied education is doing for the Negro in Tennessee is illustrated by the displays in the exposition hall at the annual fair for Colored people. The most striking of all the displays are those showing work done in the Negro Schools. Dresses, hats, quilts, table covers and other practical examples of needlework are shown by the Negro girls. Bread, cake, canned fruit and vegetables, as well as drawings, paintings and applied designs such as for window curtains complete the list. The tools, such as chairs, book racks, benches and similar pieces of furniture. Several excellent agricultural exhibits shown by individual entrants attract much attention. Corn, long staple cotton, grasses, small grains and garden products show what the Negroes are doing in an agricultural way. One of the best collections of farm and garden products is that shown by a woman farmer who is an annual exhibitor. Plants and flowers grown by a Negro florist, jewelry made by a Negro craftsman and many other examples of work are among the varied displays. More than a score of horses from the farm of a Negro are exhibited. Insure Your Teeth At all good stores 25¢ Better than the dentifrice you are using now.

Some Poor Relations. There are 19 states which are now under prohibition law; they have 30,000,000 population and $46,000,000,000 of wealth; they received larger per capita appropriation from Congress last year than did the licensed states, but they paid less than $50,000,000 of the $513,000,000 which the Commissioner of Internal Revenue collected in the fiscal year ended June 30, 1916. In other words, these 19 prohibition states, with nearly one third of the population and one fourth of the total wealth of the United States, paid less than one tenth of the revenue for the support of the Federal government. The other 70,000,000 people in 29 states which do not have prohibition, paid $463,000,000, or nine tenths of the total revenue to meet these extraordinary appropriations for the benefit of the prohibition states. The per capita collections were $1.66 in prohibition states and $6.62 in the non-prohibition states. The tax on wealth amounted to $1.99 on each $1,000 in prohibition states and $3.28 on each $1,000 of wealth in non-prohibition states. "The new taxes now imposed by Congress are paid in the same proportion. The 19 prohibition states paid $8,000,000 of the $8,400,000 emergency revenue raised by the stamp taxes, taxes on business and amusements. That tax amounted to 27 cents per capita or 17 cents on each $1,000 of wealth in the prohibition states. The people in the non-prohibition states paid $1,09 per capita or a tax of 54 cents on each $1,000 of wealth under the head of emergency revenue. That was four times the tax-rate levied on the persons and wealth in the non-prohibition states over the rate paid in the prohibition states. "The prohibition states paid $3,000,000 of the $88,000,000 collected under the head of income tax. That was 10 cents per capita, or 7 cents on each $1,000 of wealth. The 70,000,000 people in the 29 non-prohibition states paid $65,000,000 income tax, which was 93 cents per capita or 47 cents on each $1,000 of wealth. The per capita rate in the non-prohibition states was nine times and the tax on wealth five times that in the prohibition states. "In other words, these 19 prohibition states are the poor relations of Uncle Sam and whoever heard of a poor relation desiring somebody else to get the benefit of his uncle's revenue, or to see his uncle's revenue reduced to the point of necessary curtailment of his benefactions?" ```markdown ``` Beautiful Bust and Shoulders are possible if you willwear a scientifically constructed Bien Jolie Brassiere.

In another column of The Bee will be read with interest, a special correspondence to The Bee from the seat of political war, New York City. It will be seen that Hon. Charles W. Anderson was confronted by a horde of political sharks who were no good to themselves and less good to the republican party. Chairman Herbert Parsons, who was responsible for the Colored Advisory Committee, was imposed upon. Had the selections of the committee been left to Mr. Anderson, of New York and Mr. Tyler, of Ohio, how different the result would have been. When the brain of colored representatives become intoxicated, by conceit and imaginary power, all other understroppers must look out for the steam roller. From a report of The Bee's special correspondence, from New York, it can be seen how Mr. Anderson was handicapped by a set of political nonenities. It seems that the one ambition of certain republicans was to eliminate men, who could do some good. In the city an effort was made to eliminate certain republican workers and select men who could be used like you squeeze a sponge. The so-called republican central committee. There were certain local colored men who could be used and obey the white republican masters. But there was one individual who could not be used and neither would he be dictated to by would-be local white republicans. The white bosses pulled off a mass meeting one day before the election at the John Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church. Just why such a meeting should be held one day before the election and in this voteless city, at that, The Bee is unable to explain. This so-called republican committee had parcelled out the offices and when one colored republican asserted that he would rather have the street cleaning garbage and trash contract, a white republican stated, "Oh, you don't want such a place to represent your people." "Why don't I?" remarked the local politician. There is more in these contracts than in the office of recorder of deeds. It was readily seen by this white republican boss that this negro had as much sense as he had and he was soon eliminated from the equation. This colored gentleman was consulted no more until after the defeat of the party was announced and then this district representative was called up daily over the phone. So it can be seen that men who could have been of service to the party were not called into the councils of the party. It is the characteristics of colored men who aspire to leadership to resort to mean and small things. The New York colored advisory committee is an example of negro treachery and duplicity. There is not a nobler man in this country than the Hon. Charles W. Anderson of New York and the tactics resorted to by the satellites of this committee are evidences of the duplicity that was practiced upon the Hon. Herbert Parsons by this so-called negro leadership. OUR FRIENDS: Does it make any difference to which political party a person belongs who declares himself a friend to the cause of colored Americans? Is there a more loyal friend to the colored race than Hon. Martin Williams, the democratic reading clerk of the House of Representatives? Is there a white republican today who has said as much in behalf of the colored race as Mr.Williams? Al- though a democrat, no man has defended the race any stronger and more vigorously than Mr. Williams. His name is a household word among colored Americans. The reason the colored people of Indiana love Senator Taggart is on account of his loyalty to them. Take, for instance, Mr. James F. Petty, formerly auditor for the District of Columbia. No man respected or assisted the colored employees any more than he did. Although he is an ex-confederate, where caan you find a more loyal man to the country and the people? Where can you find a more honest man? Those colored republicans on the advisory committee of New York, who objected to any colored editor who favored a democratic friend of the race, will not need help from democrats, no doubt. An idiot would not make a declaration that he doesn't need help from a democrat. But when a supposedly intelligent colored man objects to a newspaper edited by colored men because that paper gives credit to democrats, from being recognized by its own, certainly this class of individuals will accept favors from no one. There are thousands of democrats in this country who are more loyal to the colored race than many pretended republicans. CHIEF OF POLICE. The re-election of President Wilson will be the extreme pleasure of the captain of 8th police precinct remaining where he is, for a time at least. Certainly he will not reach the exalted position of chief of police, for four years any way. The people would be gratified to see the re-appointment of Judge James E. Pugh of the police court. Evening Classes at the Bethel Baptist Church, 9th & S Streets, N. W., Every, Evening, at 6:30 Every Evening, at 6:30. The Interdenominational University of Washington, D. C., is the outgrowth of the demands of the times for an institution affording opportunity of a LIBERAL EDUCATION for those, who from circumstances over which they have no control, are deprived of the chance of attending institutions of learning which have day classes only. While the chief aim of The Interdenominational University is the higher and better education of Colored Americans, none are barred on account of race, color, sex, creed or nationality. It is the University of the PEOPLE where all may meet on a common level and study from a common source, and an institution "where everybody may learn everything!" Special attention is invited to our School of Theology with EVENING CLASSES for all who desire to prepare themselves to enter upon the Christian ministry. THE JOHN M. LANGSTON SCHOOL OF LAW of the INTERDENOMINATIONAL UNIVERSITY is well adapted to the needs of students having limited means, and who desire to obtain a Practical Education in the science and art of the law. Our College of Liberal Arts is well equipped for work along all lines of Higher Education, and our Academy gives a high school education which enables its graduates to enter the best Colleges and Universities. In our Commercial College students are taught typewriting and the Gregg system of stenography; commercial law, journalism and accountancy. Our School of Useful Arts affords an opportunity for students to make themselves adepts in all of the useful callings of life, with special attention given to dressmaking, millinery, hairdressing, massage, chiropody, cooking, laundering, Nurse Training, and all branches of Household Economics, Music, practical photography, and architecture are taught in our College of Fine Arts. Our SCHOOL of APPLIED CHRISTIANITY is especially equipped for training along the lines of Special Uplift Work, and University Extension Service, and is a REAL NEED at the Nation's Capital. We also call attention to our SCHOOL of PHILISOPHY and SCHOOL of SOCIOLOGY for post graduate work, and to our SCHOOL of EMBALMING. Jesse Lawson, A.M., LL.B, President, 2011 Vermont Avenue.

PUBLIC MEN AND THINGS (By the Sage of the Potomac.) I can't helped from being amused when I see the disappointment that certain members of the advisory committee met with. Hon. Herbert Parsons was disgusted when an attack was mdae upon The Bee. I have it from a reliable source that my friend, Charles J. Pickett, was the first one to expose the treachey and our good friend, Charles W. Anderson, killed the snakes. Perhaps a few members of the advisory board will have better sense by the time the present administration expires. I saw Gilchrist Stewart at the Howard Monday night. He came down no doubt to let off some surplus gas. As a star member of the advisory board, he was a political nonentity. He walks and looks wise but just what he can do is a question of conjecture. Speaking of Charlie W. Anderson, I shall always have the highest respect and esteem for him. He is royal blue and patriot. I have often wondered why certain Washington colored gentlemen always worship false Gods? They would rather chase shadows than a real thing. They are schadows themselves; hence their blunders. I am never surprised at what many of them do. Show them a little honor and they will forget that the world is in existence. I have been thinking over the membership of the Association of the Advancement of Colored People. The loudest mouthed individual in the Association is Nev. Thomas. In 1912 he declared for and supported President Wilson with a few others. In May, 1916, he advocated and supported the half-bred republican ticket, the Moose candidates from this city, Hogan and Williston. He stood around the polls all day. I don't know whether the school contingent was given leave of absence without pay or not. The coming Congress will investigate the absentees on that day. It is said that some one in authority allowed teachers to go out and help the ticket which went down in defeat. aMny, of them are a great deal wiser today. When the two teachers left the city for New York they presumed that they would be given the authority to name all the negroes for office in the city. Those who are holding on by the grace of the democratic party are now looking up colored democratic influence. There is but one real negro democrat in this city and his name is Rev. L. C. Moore. No matter how badly negroes are treated Mr. Moore has faith in his party. He has not been a democrat for revenue or for hope of reward. He wants the democratic party to protect the colored Americans in his civil and political rights. Mr. Moore is for his people as well as for the democratic party. My good friend Recorder of Deeds John F. Costello has 19 in him. He is convinced that Mr. Moore is a dyer in the wood negro democrat. Now, if these sons of Ham will remain quiet for a few years any way. O! how they began to strut. Some were so certain that Mr. Hughes was coming that the old line republicans didn't have a peep in. If you have never heard a rooster "crow," you would have certainly heard one if the result had been different. There is no cause to have fear on account of democratic success. My opinion is that conditions will be different. The democratic administration will teach republicans a lesson. The republican party had every opportunity to do better toward the colored American and itself, but now, it came to the conclusion that its power was perpetual. It became conceited and apparently had no regard for the colored voter. Take for instance, the Hughes and Fairbanks Republican Club. It went on record ignoring colored republicans. Speaking about democrats certainly these thousands of republicans in this country are as much inimical to colored republicans as southern democrats. When a democrat is good, he is good indeed. I was speaking about those members of the national association of the advancement of colored people. Don't you know, not a member went home to vote. Mr. Thomas remained in the city; Archibald Grimke didn't go to Massachusetts; A. H. Glenn didn't go to Oberland. Now, if these individuals considered the welfare of the people as they claimed, they would have made a sacrifice and gone home. All of these high-salaried employees of the government, except Archibald, and he is living off his income. I would like to know what excuse they have for not going home to vote: The latest movement on foot is a benefit to our dear Armond Scott. Now Armond should be banquetted by the citizens of Washington. He made a successful fight and won. He is a good citizen; loyal and righteous. I am in favor of tendering him a banquet. ITS ANNUAL SERMON.

Residents of the Capital City turned out en masse to the Chanticleers' reception on Thursday evening, November 17, at Odd Fellows' Hall. The "Rooster" Club has broken the record thus far in the season. President Brown and his officers' work was not in vain from the appearance of their ball room last Thursday evening. Among the jolly dancers could be seen representatives from the "Universals," "Doves," "Mediators," "Ebbtt Wailers' Association," and the "Soap Box Club." Hamilton's Monumental Orchestra played with great vim, while hundreds tangoed. The beautiful gowns that were displayed by the malds and, matrons made and feel as if it were a continuous performance of "45 Minutes from Broadway." "THE LION AND THE MOUSE" One of the Great Dramas to be Presented in This City—Coming to the Howard Theatre Next Week With Quality Amusement Corporation—Efficienter Director in Charge Within the past few months, we have had the pleasure of witnessing some of the best plays ever presented in this country at the Howard Theatre, and when we were informed in "The Lion and The Mouse," the Quality Amusement Corporation was sending a vehicle that is superior to any seen here so far we could hardly believe it, having viewed with appreciation the artistic presentation of "Mme. X," and a few others that seemed to wake up even stald Washingtonians who were not in the habit of visiting the theatre. But now are constrained to give the news from our New York correspondent more than passing notice, for he has assured us that in this play which is underlined for the Howard next week we will see the colored players at their best in something that calls for a duel of minds that is superbly enacted by the wonderful company entrusted with the presentation of this show. Neyer before in his work with the Lafayette Players has Sidney Kirkpatrick given a more verile example of perfection in the dramatic art: Mrs. Chas. H. Anderson bounds to the front with a leap that will surprise hir auditors and for this remarkable improvement the public can thank Director Forrest. If ever a man's efficiency was shown it is the wonderful result of his man's work with the Lafayette Players and while it is expected that the average theatre goer will s. idiom think of the man responsible for the good work of the performers, we feel that it is not out of keeping in bringing our readers a producer who is an acquisition that will in time oust that latent ability which can be found in so many of the people now appearing with the various shows work borders on mediocrity. Washingtonians will do well to visit the Howard Theatre next week and compare the remarkable improvement of the actors in "The Lion, and The Mouse." Crowds are flocking to the Lafayette Theatre in New York this week, surprising even the large numbers turned out to witness "Forty Five Minutes From Broadway," and the out look for another banner week at the New York Theatre was never MID-CITY THEATER 1223 7th St. N.

Bird With Strange Characters Bound to Leg Found In Edgewater. New York.-A white dove, fluttered into a window of the offices of Batterson & Elsie on River road, Edgewater, and the clerk who caught it took it to police headquarters when he noticed a band of yellow metal on its leg. The police found "U-53" inscribed on the band on the outside and on the inside words in a language they could not decipher. To most of those who inspected it the language seemed to be German, but no one who could identify the letters or translate them was able to see the bird when the report of its arrival reached the city. BOY GETS HOODOO DEER. Lad Shoots Old Buck That Dodged Bullets of Other Hunters. Salinas.

St. Louis, Mo. - Assessors in Fort Russell and Fosterburg townships, Madison county, Ill., have arrived in Edwardsville to deliver their annual assessment reports and to find out what time it is. Old Fort Russell and Fosterburg have no timepieces, according to the officials' reports. Time there is gauged by the length of the evening shadows, the return of the brindle cow to the barnyard for her evening meal or the crowing of the cook at dawn. There are no clocks by which wives can measure the tardiness of husbands, no clocks to ring out the evening hours and drive swains from the sides of their sweethearts, no clocks in Fosterburg to quicken the pace or point to the approach of dinner hour. Meals in Fort Russell and Fosterburg are served at the demand of appetite. The residents continue the even tenor of their way without cuckoos to squawk them out of bed or alarms to startle the morning air. SEARCH OF YEARS REWARDED Veteran Finds Daughter Lost to Him Since Civil War. Decatur, Ill.—When Archibald G. Bottoms' returned to Bowling Green, Mo., at the close of the civil war he found his wife had died and the baby daughter he had left behind in 1861 absent, he knew not where. Fifty-one years after the war ended Mrs. M. H. Roberts, of Decatur got track of her father through the pension bureau in Washington and has just returned to Decatur after visiting him. He is ninety-one years old. "I was placed with a family after my mother died, and they soon moved from Bowling Green to Illinois," said Mrs. Roberts. "They never told me of my parentage until many years afterward, and I never did know in what town I was born. Not long ago I asked J. C. Walsh, a decatur man, to write to Washington, and thus I found out where my father lived." Bottoms spent years searching for his child after the war. GIRL INSISTS ON A SHAVE. Falling to Get One From Barber, She Raises a Row. Chicago.—Helen Wade entered the barber shop of Charles Collins on West Chicago avenue and, seating herself in a barber chair, demanded a shave. For fifteen minutes the owner argued with her and finally ordered her to leave. She refused to go, and Collins called Policeman John J. Hourigan. "I'll not leave here until I get a shave, and the sooner the better," the woman lusisted. Hourigan took a razor and began to imitate a barber's motion over her face. Finally he announced that she had been shaved and asked her to leave the shop. "You can't kid me," the woman said when the policeman told her she had been shaved. "That razor never touched my face, and I won't leave here." Then she was arrested. WILD DOGS ATTACK GARDENER Pack In Woods Near Greenwood Lake Again Terrorize Residents. Greenwood Lake, N. J.—The great pack of wild dogs, part of which was exterminated in the woods between here and Lake Mombasha last winter by New Jersey game wardens, has again made its appearance throughout this section, creating a reign of terror in certain sections. The dogs forage on domesticated poultry and even attack persons who cross their path. Game Warden William C. Klein reports that, the pack descended on the Hewitt estate in Ringwood and attacked a gardener. Farmers who have seen the raiders say there are about twenty-five or thirty of them. Game Warden Klein will start on another extermination expedition as soon as all the leaves have fallen. VALUE OF BABY'S EYES. Award of $25,000 Is Set Aside by California Superior Court. San Francisco.—The nominal value of a baby's eye was fixed at $25,000 here by Judge Frank J. Murasky in the superior court, who gave judgment for that amount to the parents of Mary Rubio, one year old, against Mrs. Amalia Razzuuol, midwife. It was alleged that the woman failed to care for the baby's eyes properly at birth, and now the child is blind. "A pair of baby's eyes are priceless," sald Judge Murasky. "No amount of money that this or any court could give, no matter how large the amount, would compensate for their loss." Oxnard, Cal.—James Benton's latest rattlesnake catch is worth $432. Benton, who lives in Santa Barbara, catches rattlesnakes for a living and recently sold thirty-six of the reptiles for $12 each to Oxnard Chinese, who value them for medicinal purposes, drugs being compounded from the venom. Benton has been bitten a number of times, in one instance almost losing his life. He catches the reptiles with a pronged stick. With Polyglot Crew Captain in Lonely, New York.—With a mixed crew of Lascars, Icelanders, Greenlanders, deck hands of Slanese extraction, men from Madagascar and some Malays the Cunard liner Pammonia docked here. She carried a cargo, but no passengers, and her captain reports the most lonesome voyage he ever sailed. A LIVING SACRIFICE A LIVING SACRIFICE Romans 12:1:4—November 26. The Purpose of the Epistle to the Remans—The Advantage of the Jew Over the Gentile—Cause of Israel's Failure to Get the Chief Blessing, Call of the Gentiles to Complete the Body of Christ—The Church Called to Sacrifice—Various Instructions. "Present your bodies a Being scorpion, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service." Perse 1. HILE St. Paul was a wonderful logician, and in his writing has set forth the elements of Christian faith along doctrinal lines more than has any other Apostle, yet we notice that he is not discussing theological points merely for the sake of argument or of showing his ability. In every instance his arguments lead the reader onward and upward to a grand upper room of perfected Christian character. A Nowhere is this more manifest than in St. Paul's Epistle to the Romans. Beginning with the distinction between Jew and Gentile, he contrasts the former, informed respecting God and to some extent re- her, informed re- "Lord, Here Am I; Sending Me!" to some extent re-specting His Plan, with the latter, "without God and having no hope in the world." After calling attention to the general ignorance of God prevailing amongst Gentiles, he points out how this degradation had come, and why the knowledge of God had reached Israel first—not because the Israelites were better than the Gentiles, but because of the Divine grace, "election." Then the Apostle demonstrates that while seeking Divine favor, Israel failed to get the chief blessing because they mistook the mission of the Mosaic Law. They hypocritically claimed that they kept the Law invalidate and were therefore entitled to its blessings of eternal life, etc.; whereas they should have admitted that they were so fallen from perfection that they could not keep the perfect Law of God. Then they should have looked to God for help. In this attitude of mind they would have been ready to receive eternal life as a gift, through Jesus Christ, and not have sought it by the perfection of their own works. So the Apostle points out that Israel failed because they sought the blessing by works, not by faith. (Romans 11:6.7.) He then points out that Israel's fall into blindness and the calling of a peculiar people, from amongst the Gentiles to complete the elect company was foreknown of God and declared through the Prophets. (Romans 0 and 10.) But he shows that Israel is not cast off forever; that when the elect class is completed, all Israel shall be saved from the blindness into which they stumbled when they rejected Christ; and that their recovery will be the signal for blessings upon all mankind.—Romans 11:15, 25-32. True Christian Living. In Verse 1 of today's Study the Anosite reaches the crown of his argument. He is addressing the "brithrehn" of the Household of Faith—those justified by faith in Christ Jesus the Redeemer—and urges them to accept the Divine invitation to enter the elect Body of Christ, being gathered from amongst Jews and Gentiles. The way to this exalted position is pointed out as one of sacrifice. To "present your bodies a living sacrifice" is to do what our Lord did—to ignore the will of the flesh with all its hopes and ambitions, however proper in themselves, thenceforth to devote our time, energy, talent, etc., to doing God's will and work. (John 6:18; 4:34). This full consecration is even unto death, when the reward is sure. Such a sacrifice on the part of justified believers is reckoned of God as holy, because the merit of our Redeemer's sacrificial death is imputed to them through faith. Therefore their sacrifice is acceptable to God, and is but their reasonable service, even though no exceeding great reward had been promised. They should know that God has called them to suffer with Christ and to be glorified and reign with Him during the Millennium, to bless the A Humble Teacher. to God, and is but their reasonable service, even though no exceeding great reward had been promised. They should know that God has called them to suffer with Christ and to be glorified and reign with Him during the Millennium, to bless the world. They should know the reason for their sufferings, and should have a clear understanding of the character which God would develop in them, to fit them for the Kingdom. Today's Study treats of some characteristics necessary to those who would make their calling and election sure. Through the grace given him the Apostle Paul foresaw that one of the greatest temptations amongst Christians would be the ambition to-be great, to be highly esteemed, and to do something which would attract attention rather than the common things which constitute the bulk of actual service. Therefore he counseled every man in the Church to take a sober estimate of his talents, in order to make the best use of them as a wise, faithful steward. Then, having found where we can do most effectual service for the Truth, let us spend our energies therein with diligence and carefulness, contented to be humble that our talents may increase to the Master's glory. Of the Establishment of the Grand Lodge of England Celebrates June 26th; 1917—A Great Event in the History of Masone Throughout the World. June 26, 1917, will be the two hundredth anniversary of the establishment of the Grand Lodge of England, and placing the institution of Freemasonry in that form which has come down to us, and has given to us that great Fraternity which we today enjoy through the honor and privilege of membership therein. For some years the Grand Lodge of England has been anticipating a grand celebration of the bi-centennial anniversary of its organization and of inviting all English speaking Lodges and Grand Lodges to join with them in that celebration; but it would seem as though the G. A. O. T. U. has divined otherwise, as today finds England engaged in the most destructive, the most devastating war the world has ever known. And, whilst there are thousands upon thousands of their brethren suffering and dying in the breaches, it would be inhuman for them to arrange or even think of arranging for any kind of festivities, much less a celebration befitting this occasion. Members and representatives of the United Supreme Councils of Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, for the northern and southern Masonic juridictions, in united session assembled, having taken this matter under consideration find the time too late to bring the question before the several Grand Lodges for their deliberation or for the adoption of any plan or arrangement whereby the colored Freemasons of these United Cities and Canada could assemble at any one selected point to celebrate this occasion in which we are all so vitally interested, because of the fact, that nearly all of our Grand Lodges have closed their 1916 meetings and by the time they convene their 1917 meeting the date for this celebration will have passed. We, therefore, suggest, recommend and farternally request, that each Grand Master issue orders to the several subordinate lodges in each of their respective jurisdictions requesting them to assemble at some hall or church in the city in which they reside and with a program of music and address befitting the occasion, that all colored Freemasons in the United States and Canada may on this one day be assembled all over this continent celebrating the bi-centennial anniversary of the Grand Lodge of England—the Mother Grand Lodge of all_Negro Masons on this cointinent.

St. Paul's Baptist Church, which has been celebrating, their Fiftieth anniversary during the present-month with very interesting exercises' concluded them on Sunday. After a very appropriate sermon, by the pastor, Rev. G. G. Mills, from the 23rd chapter of Leviticus and fourth verse, the history the church which was set a part in 1867 by Rev. Sandy Alexander and which was destroyed by fire in 1877 was eloquently described by Miss Nellie A. Plummer. The church in which they now worship was built in 1908 by Rev. Charles Cushingberry at a cost of six thousand dollars, which is free from any incumference. The membership is about one hundred, of which three of the original members are living namely: Ellias Q. Plummer, Samuel Clark, Fannie Mason. Sarah Meranda Plummer Clark was the founder in October 19, 1866. Miss Carrie Wheeler read a poem entitled "Faith of Our Father" Mrs. Rosella A.

Benjamin Jackson, a young minister who won his way from among the lowly, preached a very interesting sermon last Sabbath afternoon at the little Mission Church of Rev. Ales, in the rear of North Capital and H streets northwest. His text was the 91st Psalms. He confined himself strictly to his text which was an evidence that the future of Rev. Jackson as a minister would be a successful one. Mt. Carmel Baptist Church. Rev. W. H. Jernagin, pastor of Mt. Carmel Baptist Church, preached a very eloquent and instructive sermon last Sabbath morning. His text was the 8th chapter and 6th verse of Ecclesiastics. Rev. Jernagin is no doubt one of the most pleasing ministers in the city and a loyal race advocate. The choir, under Prof. Rattley, rendered excellent music. At the conclusion of the sermon, Mr. W. Calvin Chase, who was present, was called on to speak. His reception by the congregation was very agreeable. Rev. W. H. Norman. One of the most logical and sensa- TRIANGLE PRINTING CO.

Among those who were present are: Prof. L. Hershaw, H. H. Naylor, Wm. H. Brown and Jas. L. Turner. Lieutenant General Terauchi, who recently succeeded Count Okuma as premier of Japan, has had an honorable career in the service of the milkado. His greatest achievement was the annexation of Korea. Made governor general in 1911, he was instrumental in revolutionizing the Korean policy of 大和 義勇 COUNT SEIKI TERAUCHI Marquis Ito, his predecessor. At the end of his second month in office the formal annexation of Korea to Japan was announced to the powers. He is a native of Chobu, sixty-four years of age, and entered the army in 1871 as sublieutenant. He worked his way up quickly and in 1897 became a lieutenant general. Later he served as inspector general of military instruction and vice chief of the general staff. In 1002 he became war minister, which position he held until made governor general of Korea, nine years later. Wise Observations If good ever comes to you, you'll have to go after it. To die for one's country is fine, but to live for one's country is better. One way to lose your credit is to have too much. It is unwise to pry too closely into the business of a hornet. If you don't want to get hit keep away from where hitting is going on. The man who wants everything he sees is likely in the end not to be able to get what he needs.

HARRIS CHEMICAL COMPANY, Washington, D. C. HARRIS TRADE MARK IS REGISTERED What Housewives Are Glad to Know The girl's dress shown herewith, featured in navy blue serge trimmed with satin sleeves to match and white satin detachable collar, was designed 453 by Franklin Simon & Co., New York. The kilt skirt is adorned with interesting embroidered pockets, belt and cuffs. This design is suitable for high school girls. It has been proved that bad teeth are the cause of many a child's backwardness in school—not only that, but many undesirable tendencies and habits are directly traceable to decayed or crooked teeth. If the teeth are not right have them cared for by the dentist and then keep them clean and healthy. Don't let the children neglect brushing their teeth, and teach them how to do it properly. The teeth are full of crevices and crannies that cannot be got at by a sideways movement of the brush, but a careless boy will never think of brushing his teeth up and down unless you tell him to, and even then maybe he won't unless he has explained to him the danger of letting particles of "food" remain between the teeth. Either paste or powder may be used, and some people prefer alternating the two. Faste confina considerable soap, which is excellent for cleansing purposes, while powder not only cleanses, but also gives a high polish. After the teeth have their last brushing at night run a strand of dental floss between the teeth to dislodge any particles of food that may have been missed by the brush; then rinse the mouth with water. This is very important, because such small particles, if allowed to remain between the teeth, will ferment, and this fermentation results in the profusion of an acid that in time cuts through the enamel of the teeth and causes them to decay. Smartly Said A man with a quick temper is as unsafe as a ship loaded with dynamite. An extravagant man is always talking to his wife about the necessity of economy. Silence is no guarantee that the victim of your talk agrees, with your argument. The liar unequipped by a good memory is in for a lot of trouble around home. In the Arena of Sports Pittsburgh's Strong Center. Glenn Warner, head coach, has developed one of the strongest teams that has ever represented the University of Pittsburgh. In Captain Bob Peck he has the best center of any of the eastern universities and probably the ablest of the year. Although much lighter than most centers, Captain ```markdown ``` Photo by American Press Association CAPTAIN BOB PECK. Peck has had no trouble so far in more than holding his own in the line. In the recent game with Syracuse he played havoc with their gigantic line men, tumbling them about with comparative ease. Pittsburgh, by the way, has the best eleven that has represented that university in many years. It is strong on both offense and defense. To Review McGraw Case. The John McGraw case will be handled by the board of directors of the National league when it meets in New York on the second Tuesday in December. It is said that several of the club owners are anxious to have McGraw's statement that the Giants were not playing their best against Brooklyn thoroughly reviewed and want the New York leader to make his statement clear that he did not mean to reflect on the honesty of the game. The rule under which the McGraw case will come provides for the directors to handle all incidents which might be construed as being "prejudicial to the good repute of the game of baseball." Shaldon Lost to Yale. Chub Sheldon, veteran left tackle at Yale, has probably played his last game at football. He is suffering from inflammatory rheumatism, believed to have been contracted while a member of the Yale artillery battalion in camp at Tobyhanna, Pa., during the summer. He prepared for Yale at Andover and was the chief competitor of "Cupid" Black for the Yale captaincy last winter. His home is in Joplin, Mo. Charley Taft, son of the ex-president, succeeds to the position at left tackle. Chief Fire Causes A chief source of fire is from gasoline. Cleaning with gasoline should be done out of doors, and when the gasoline is no longer fit for use it should be thrown upon the ground, in which it will quickly hide itself. Cook stoves also are a constant fire danger. Cracks in stoves large enough to allow the escape of sparks are common from overheating and from the warping of the store lids. The pipe often has imperfect joints, or misfits the chimney hole and not infrequently it is perforated by rust. The stove should be a foot and a half from the wall or else the wall protected by a sheet of zinc or tin loosely hung on hooks so air can circulate behind it. It should extend a yard above the stove to protect the wall from the pipe, which often becomes red hot to that height. Under the stove should be a sheet of metal extending far enough to catch coals falling from doors or cracks. Every stevopipe should be held in the chimney by a wire. More than half of all fires in dwelling houses start in the kitchen or from sparks in the kitchen flue. The light materials used in starting a fire are most likely to be carried above the building by draft, and these sparks falling down on a fuzzy shingled roof start a fire—R. B. Buckley, Ohio Fire Marshal. Diphtheria is generally caused by roosting or sleeping in a draft, or being confined in a damp place. The causes of ulcerated throat and canker are the same. Diarrhea in chicks is often caused by sour food, bad water, damp quarters, flithy coops, exposure to cold or wet or too much green food. In fowls, too, it is caused by too much green food, lack of sharp grit and errors in feeding. Indigestion is caused principally by lack of sharp grit, overfeeding, unwholesome diet, injudicious use of grain or debilitated system. Roup is the result of neglect or want of attention to minor diseases of the air passages, produced by colds. Filth is a great breeder of disease. It is not only necessary that the premises be kept clean, but they must also every now and then be disinfected. Foul air, especially at night when the fowls are on the roost, will do more mischief than anything else. All roosts should be on a level when placed on an incline. The fowls fight to gain the topmost perch, and those successful must the entire night breathe the contaminated air that is apt to rise up to the ceiling. Paint skins, half unslaked lime, etc., are often carelessly thrown about, the fowls eat it and sudden deaths from a "mysterious disease" are reported. Laying hens are often confined to a fattening diet, which has its result in a general breakdown, indigestion and liver troubles. Grease spots may be removed by the application of carbon tetrachloride, according to II. F. Zoller, assistant in chemistry in the Kansas State Agricultural college. Removing grease spots with gasoline or benzine is both dangerous and wasteful. Chloroform is effective, but is dangerous. Carbon tetrachloride is used by cleaners because of its safety, cleaning power and the absence of a disagreeable odor. The disadvantage is its expense. Ink is difficult to remove if it has been in the garment for some time. Iron inks may be removed by oxalic, acetic, citric or dilute hydrochloric acid. In case of the coal tar inks the spot must be bleached. Iron rust can be removed by fairly strong oxalic acid solution if allowed to stand on the goods for a short time, and often when it is exposed to the sunlight the action is a little quicker. The excess of oxalic acid must be washed out and the goods washed with a good soap in order to neutralize the acid. Hydrochloric acid is the best remover of iron rust, if baniled by an experienced person. An excellent formula for the removal of fountain pen ink, especially iron ink and iron rust, is the aceto-oxalic acid formula. It is made by saturating a 10 per cent acetic acid solution with oxalic acid and mixing one part of the product with four parts of alcohol. Light as Chaff The Usages of Royalty. A patriotic Scotchman was present at a meeting of a certain society, at which an eminent Shakespearean scholar dwelt on the virtues of the bard. At the close of the meeting the Scot approached the lecturer, and the following dialogue ensued: 1772 "Ye think a fine lot of Shakespeare, doctor?" "I do, sir." "An' ye think he was mair cleverer than Rabbie Burns?" "Why, there is no comparison." "Maybe no, but ye telt us tonicht it was Shakespeare who wrote 'Uneasy lies the head that wears a croon' Now. Rabbie would ne'er he written sic nonsense as that." "Nonsense, sir?" "Aye, just nonsense. Rabbie would hae kent that a king or a queen, either, dinnna gang to bed wil' a croon on his head. He wad hang it o'er the back o' a chair."-Country Gentleman. Murphy was in the hospital and had undergone an operation. As he was recovering he remarked to the patient on his right, "I am thankful that's over." "Oh," said the patient, "at my operation the doctor left the scissors inside, and I had to undergo the same again." 17 The patient on the left remarked that at his operation a sponge had been left, and it all had to be gone over again. Just as, they had finished talking the doctor appeared at the door and asked, "Has my one seen my hat?" A Trade Secret. The Cook—How do you manage to keep such nice fresh canned goods? The Grocery.

Dents In Furniture When wood is badly dented or scratched it is often a problem to know how to get rid of the marks. This is quite easy, according to a writer in one of the scientific publications, if the following plan is adopted: First of all fold a piece of blotting paper at least four times, then saturate with water, finally allowing the superfluous moisture to drip away. Now heat a fathorn until it is about the warmth required for laundry work. Place the damp blotting paper over the dent and press firmly with the iron. As soon as the paper dries examine the mark. It will then be found that the cavity has filled up to a surprising extent. When the dent is very deep a second or even a third application on the lines indicated might be tried. Sooner or later even serious depressions can be drawn up, and most people who have not tried this plan will be surprised at the result of the treatment. Repolishing will clear away even the slight marks that might finally remain.

Schwab states in the American Magazine that integrity and personality are two important things in salesmanship. He says: "Integrity, incidentally, is one of the mightiest factors in salesmanship. If you have a reputation for stating facts exactly, for never attempting to gain momentary advantage through exaggeration, you possess the basis of all successful salesmanship. "Next to integrity comes personality—that indefinable charm that gives to men what perfume gives to flowers. Many of us think of salesmen as people travelling around with sample kits. Instead, we are all salesmen every day of our lives. We are selling our ideas, our plans, our energies, our enthusiasm, to those with whom we come in contact. Thus the man of genial presence is bound to accomplish much more, under similar conditions, than the man without it. If you have personality, cherish it; if you have not, cultivate it. For personality can be cultivated, although the task is not easy. "Nothing is so plentiful in America as opportunity. There are more jobs for forceful men than there are forceful men to fill them. Whenever the question comes up of buying new works we never consider whether we can make the works pay. That is a foregone conclusion if we can get the right man to manage them. "All successful employers of labor are stalking men who will do the unusual men who think, men who attract attention by performing more than is expected of them. These men have no difficulty in making their worth felt. They stand out above their fellows until their superiors cannot fall to see them." Engage in nothing that cripples or degrades you. Your first duty is self culture, self exaltation. You may not violate this sacred trust. Yourself is sacred; profane it not. Forge no chains wherewith to shackle your own members. Either subordinate your vocation to your life or quit it forever.—Amos Bronson Alcott. Scolding a Bad Habit. Scolding is mostly a habit. It is often the result of nervousness and an irritable condition of both mind and body. Scolding is a habit very easily formed. It is an unreasoning and unreasonable habit. Persons who once get into the way of scolding always find something to scold about. If there is nothing else they begin scolding at the mere absence of anything to scold at. It is an extremely disagreeable habit. It is contagious. Once introduced into a family it is pretty certain in a short time to affect all the members. Must Efficiency Be Its Own Reward? A business man went through a siege of stenographers—one more inefficient than the others, and his business suffered because of their mistakes. Then he secured an efficient worker. The customers lost to him by former carelessness came back. He confesses that his correspondence has never been so well handled, and he takes pride in saying that he can go on business trips and his letters and customers will be as efficiently handled as if he were at the desk. This man's salary has gone up from $2,200 to $4,500 a year by reason of his efficient worker, while the salary of the stenographer has increased from $9 to $11 a week. Is not this injustice more common than employers realize? Would it not be to the point if employers sometimes took an inventory of their offices and checked up those who are a vital part of their success and acted accordingly? The worker in the ranks is just as important sometimes as the head, only she is so often forgotten.—Ladies' Home Journal. The Sober Man's Day. This is the day of the sober man. The man who leads a clean, honest, temperate life may not be brilliant, but he stands a better chance of succeeding than his more accomplished brother who burns his brain with drink. Men of practical business have found after years of experience that it is better and safer to have about them men who are sober and who come to their work with clear heads than to have experts who cannot be relied upon. — Memphis Commercial Appeal. TOMORROW'S HANDLE. Every tomorrow has two handles. We can take hold of it by the handle of anxiety or the handle of faith.—Emerson. Country Needs Thousands of Aviators, Says Peary. Declares That Air Service Should Be Under Direction of Federal Department of Aeronautics, Separate From and Independent of Both Army and Navy Departments. New York.—Sixteen thirty-five knot battle cruisers with sixteen inch guns, an air fleet manned by thousands of aviators and universal military training are what the United States needs to be properly prepared, Rear Admiral Robert E. Peary told members of the class in applied Christianity of the Mount Morris Baptist church in Fifth avenue, near One Hundred and fifty-fifth street. "The construction of the fleet," he said, "should be begun at once and completed within three years. With these we need the accessories of destroyers, submarines and hydroaeroplanes. "The air-service should be under the direction of a federal department of THE Photo by American Press Association. REAR ADMIRAL PEARY. aeronautics separate from and independent of both the army and navy departments and presided over by a member of the president's cabinet. With our resources and mechanical genius under the spur of concentrated and undivided attention such a department may in the near future be more vital and important to our national safety and integrity than our navy and our army combined. "One of the first steps should be an immediate provision for educating and training a certain number of the officers of the naval militia of each state as aviators and with them as a nucleus recruiting a full aviation section of the naval militia in every state. An appropriation of $1,500,000—about $30,000 to each state—to be expended under the direction of the secretary of the navy will permit beginning this work at once." RETIRES AT THIRTY-SIX. Pederson Gets Double Credit For Fourteen Years' Service. San Juan, Porto Rico.—A record for early retirement from the United States army except for disability seems to have been made by Peder Pederson, who served as a soldier in Porto Rico, Cuba and the Philippines for fourteen out of his total sixteen years' service. He has been retired at the age of thirty-six, with a soldier's pension of $67 a month, being credited with thirty years' service—twenty-eight for foreign duty, two for home duty. Pederson benefited by the army.regulations providing for double credit for foreign service. He retired as a sergeant of ordnance and will live in Washington. He is not married, and he says that after he enjoys a little hunting and fishing he will try for some government position open to an ex-soldier. BOY SUES CITY FOR $10,000. Lowell Won't Let Munitions Worker Back to School. Lowell, Mass.—Fred H. Desmond, eighteen years old, has brought suit for $10,000 against this city because the school board has refused to let him reenter high school after working in a munition factory. Young Desmond left school to work in a cartridge factory, but now wants to go back to his studies. In its refusal to let him do so the school board said: "It is for the best interests of both the school and the boy that he should not be allowed to re-enter." Milk Puts Out Fire Altoona, Pa.-Milk has proved just as efficacious as water in extinguishing a fire, even if it is a bit more expensive. The dairy, barn of A. M. Wasson, near Tyrone, was struck by lightning. Mrs. Wasson and her two sons, Alton and Robert, were in the building milking. Flames followed the bolt, and a delay would have doomed the structure. A dozen gallons of milk, the result of the day's milking, was at hand. The milk saved the barn and stock. Peter Grogan & Sons Co.
