Morehouse became undisputedly champions of the south by winning the final game on Thanksgiving from Fisk University. Fisk took the title from Morehouse in 1913 when for the first and only time the Tigers were defeated on their own grounds. Fisk held the title without dispute 1913-14. In 1915. neither team was able to score. In the past season REV. SYLVESTER L. CURTISER Chairman of the reception committee Bishop Caldwell. Morehouse took on again her honors lost since 1912. In the 6 games played M. C. made 160 points to the opnents 10. The record: Morehouse, 48; Clark University, 0. Morehouse, 32; Morris Brown University, 0. Morehouse, 26; Talladega, 0. Morehouse, 23; Tuskegee, 0. Morehouse, 17; A. U. 10. Morehouse, 14; Fisk University, 0. Fisk-Morehouse games date back to 1906. Since then 10 games have been play. M. C. has won 5, Fisk 3-2 games were ties. For the last ten games recorded with Talladega, M. C. has won S. T. C. 1, and one was declared "No Game". For the last 11 games with Tuskegee, Morehouse has won 5. Tuskegee 3, and three have been tied. There have been only four TuskegeeClark games, M. C. winning all. The closest score being 21 to 0. In 1913 they were beaten 98 to 0, the record for big Relations with Morris Brown began in 1911. There have been 5 contests. Morehouse won all. Atlanta University is M. C.'s oldest football rival. A. U. had their last victory in 1902 when they beat what was then Atlanta Baptist College 5 to 0. For the fourteen intervening years, they have been able to score only twice. The closest they have come to a victory was in 1913 when they held the Tigers to a score 16 to 11. In 1909 Morehouse defeated Hampton Institute 17 to 5. The season marks the passing of Lewis and Captain Brock, two of the oldest veterans of the team. Coach Harvey, of Colgate led the coaching staff and put out the most irresistible and invincible machine that has ever graced the Tigers' gridiron. HOWARD THEATRE Patrons of the Howard Theatre are being treated this week to one of the best musical shows seen here. The Three Twins is a cleverlyconstructed play, full of bright lines, witty dialogue and high class music. The leading characters showed to great advantage as versatile artists, their singing being not behind the good acting. Misses Mitchell, Howman and Sutton delighted the audience with their singing, which was far above the average usually heard in such plays. The story tells of one, Tom St.mhope, who is in love with one of his father's domestics, and of the fa- ther's desire to have the son marry his ward. To win th' lady the son disguises himself to resemble a picture he has found on the beach which unfortunately is a likeness of twins who visit the family. Such a mix up occurs that they all land in a saintarium for one cause or another and each eventually seems as though he belongs there. Tom finally discloses his identity and marries the lady of his choice and the mess is cleared up. Tom Brown as the father gives his usual funny performance and is well seconded in comedy by Walker Thompson, who plays the son. Miss Mitchell is the domestic and handles the part in a very satisfactory manner. Her acting is fast winning for her a place as the leading actress, as far as living up to the character is concerned. Her duet with Thompson "Lets Join in a Little Duet" was well received and her song "The歌 Up there" was roundly applauded. Miss Mitchell has a lovely voice and knows how to use it to advantage. Miss Bowman, as the weeping lady, sheds copious tears throughout the play. Her singing in the Boo Hoo Tee Hoe song received numerous enchores and showed that this lady is a singer of high class as well as a good actress. The Tee Hee part of the duet was well done by Miss Sutton, the laughing girl. It must have been quite a call upon her laughing powers to keep it up, but she did, much to the delight of the audience. Mention must be made of the singing of Messrs. Mores, Gibbs and Townsend, the latter as Dr. Hartman; showing his ability to handle old man parts with great credit to himself. The chorus is well trained and gave a very good account of itself. Much credit for so delightful a performance is due to Miss Marie Lucas, the musical director, who is a very accomplished musician. Director Winn is entitled to our thanks for bringing such a high class, clean entertainment to the city. A woid of praise is also due to the fine setting, that, in the first act being especially pretty.

Prof. Kelly Miller will speak before the Bethel Literary Tuesday evening on "The Present Political Outlook." Music by the Nineteenth Street Baptist and First Baptist Church choirs. Last Tuesday evening Bethel Literary witnessed one of the most unique, artistic and inspiring musical entertainments ever presented to the Washington public. In spite of snow and cold a large and appreciative audience early filled the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church. The program consisted of numbers by the best known and most popular musical organizations in the city as well as solos by several of the most popular artists. The first number was a selection by the Dunbar High School Glee Club under the direction of Miss Mary L. Europe. It was so pleasingly rendered that vociferous applause brought the young and promising youths again to the rostrum where a second, and even more pleasing number was sung. These selections seemed to put the finishing touches on an already genial spirited audience and with each succeeding number the applause was so loud and continuous as to demand an encore to each. The wisdom of Mrs. Louise Evang Pinkett and Miss Marie C. James, who arranged the program, in-placing the Dunbar Glee Club first was as if by inspiration. The Armstrong Manual Training School was ably represented by a future star Mr. Isaac Cupid, whose captivating tenor voice and apt selection won the immediate sympathy of his hearers. Miss Gregoria Fraser at the piano played Mendelssohn's hunting Song with a sweetness and skill which made the piece all too short for the music-loving hearers. The Columbia Quartette, consisting of Messrs. Carey H. Robinson, Fred D. Pryor, George Pope and Philip Kemp, was a complete vindication of its claim to recognition as a band of pleasing entertainers. Mr. Carlton Dorsey, instructor in violin at the Washington Conservatory of Music, was especially pleasing in his selection with the violin. The Myrtilla Miner Normal School, Chorus under the direction of Miss Lola Johnson, commands especial notice. The senior class of the school comprised the chorus and made a beautiful picture as it stood in double rows across the rostrum. The response to the baton of Miss Johnson was like the work of magpie and the sweet voices of the promising maidens described the house. Little wonder is it that we look with such admiration at the monument over which such capable hands as those of Dr. Lucy E. Moton and Miss Lola Johnson preside. The sexette from the Corda Club, under the direction of Miss Gregoria Fraser, was another triumph in the enviable galaxy of a series of triumphs by that band of women. On an occasion like this the mere mention of the name of Dr. C. Sumner Wormley brings 'deafening applause. His rendition of Burleigh's "The Young Warrior" was only excelled by his rendition of the encore which he sang. His admirers demanded that he sing "Machusla" as an encore, which he did with the sweetness and mastery of a Burleigh. The last number, and of equal if not surpassing artistic interest, was "Listen to the Lambs" by The Afro-American Folk Song Singers, who, under the direction of Miss Charlotte Wallace, are unsurpassed as entertainers in this line of music. From start to finish of the program the audience sat in rapt attention. When we recall that the object of this musical evening was to raise money with which to meet a deficit and so augment the treasury of Bethel Literary as not .o embarrass the historic institution; that it was with a view to making larger her opportunities for usefulness, and then recall that all the participants in the program gave their services without remuneration, we are given a new glimpse at the heart throbs of this valuable element in our citizenry. We take hope anew for the future of this institution and for the larger usefulness which is its destiny. If the entertainment had no other result than to prove the interest of the performers and their auditors in the life and growth of Bethel Literary it was not given in vain. All praise to those artists and groups of artists who made possible this festival. Fairmount Heights Notes Fairmount Heights Notes.

Another valuable thought which has been repeatedly advanced ,is that’ the Negro ought to have all kinds of educa- tion.

It has been nine weeks this week since a pupil in the colored Normal school came to an untimely death under circumstances which the police department has failed to bring the guilty parties to justice. There was an arrest made and an admission that criminal relations had existed between the pupil and the party then under arrest but a denial as to any other criminal act. This act alone should warn society that the party who made such an admission is unworthy of the society of other females of tender years. The girl should not be condemned. We should be charitable. Love has its happiness and sorrows. Faith is a great hope in the heart of a human being, especially a female. A girl at the age of eighteen will, sometimes do that which in her heart she knows to be wrong, but when love steps in, it masters the situation, then hope yields to faith and love controls. There is not sufficient protection for young girls in our High and Normal schools. Reports that are now in the possession of the police department show this. There should be a moral revolution in our schools and the sooner it comes the better it will be for the entire colored school system. The Bee is in possession of certain information which will no doubt bring the responsible parties to the authorities. That a crime was committed and by some one that an eighteen year old Normal school girl and the foster daughter of two reputable citizens was a victim of foul play or a criminal operation which the police department is investigating and up to the present time it hasn't secured sufficient information to warrant the arrest of the guilty party or parties. The surprise of The Bee is that the school authorities failed to interest themselves in this case, except for some one to denounce this unfortunate young girl. If the principal of our Normal School received proper support and encouragement, conditions in that particular school would be different. Was there an admission made by anyone at the time an arrest was made? If so why hasn't a criminal prosecution been started? Has society been indicated? The police department is now in possession of certain information which Congress should have since our Board of Education will not handle it. For the good of the school certain changes should be made and at once. It makes no difference who the guilty party is, he should be brought to the bar of Justice. It is claimed a reflection would be cast upon the memory of the young girl if all the facts in the case should come out. The memory of the child would be lauded and the man who is parading around in decent society will be known, which would be a warning to other young girls to shun his company. There is not sufficient protection thrown around our young girls. Young girls in our High and Normal schools are without proper safe guards. It is an easy matter for the so-called moralists to stand at a distance and denounce an unfortunate fallen victim, when they have been guilty of and are guilty of acts of the grossest immorality. Thousands are wearing masks to hide themselves from the rays of the sun. There are thousands in tattered gowns who are as honest and as pure as the fallen snow, who day by day are shadowed by gilted gowned females, who dare not remove their masks. The Bee for the information of its readers and those be appraised of all the facts and circumstances in this unfortunate incident and it will not be a question of "Who is guilty?" EMIGRATION BILL The Emigration bill is up for consideration. What is the national association for advancement for colored people doing? Six democrats in the Senate voted with the republicans to defeat the Emigration bill to exclude negroes. This makes the contention of The Bee correct. That men should be supported when they demonstrate their friendship for the negro notwithstanding their politics. It is quite evident that the South is against us and to teach the southern democrat who is against us, a lesson, is to eliminate him from thee politic. The act of elimination must be made by the vote of men who are not afraid to enforce the Constitution. PRESTO CHANGE Just as The Bee predicted, two weeks ago, that the candidate for Chief of Police would be transferred from the 8th to some other precinct. It is to be regretted that Captain Peck is taken from No.1 to relieve Captain Doyle, who goes to No. 8, his old precinct, where he is popular and honored by the people. No one would have regretted the transfer of Captain Flathers to Anacostia. Major Pulman has an eye to business, especially when a captain gets too big for his precinct. It was a presto change. Read The Bee for news. Mr. Robert N. Harper has been appointed chairman of the inaugural committee. DR. SHEPARD Dr. James E. Shepard of Durham, N.C. passed through the city Monday evening, enroute for the cast. On his return he will remain in the city a few hours only. This great Educator is becoming to be the idol of the people. He never blunders, the southern people respect him and he is no apologist either. FLORIDA'AVE. BAPTIST CHURCH. The Other Side of the Church Troubles Editor 'The Bee: I desire to make a statement to the public through the columns of your widely read paper having regard for the many defamatory articles written by one of your correspondents relating to the Florida Ave. Baptist Church of which I am one of its founders, having drawn myself its articles of incorporation and having been chairman of its trustee board since its organization, therefore I speak ex-cathedra. This church is not on the downward road as your correspondent stated in your last week's edition. It never was in a healthier condition financially than it is today. It is abreast with all of its obligations, current and annual. In fact, on last Sunday there was raised at the church $84.65. The financial potentiality of the church is unasscarnated as it has never faced a crisis but what the church has met all of its demands without the slightest strain. In all of its rallies the amount asked for has always been exceeded—sometimes by a few dollars and sometimes by several hundred dollars. Does this look like failure? The esprit de corps of the membership could not be better. Of course a few went out from us, but they went because they were never of us. Their places have been filled two to one. The Sunday school has been in the throes of difficulties but they are disappearing now like ocean waves dashed against the rock ribbed shores of Maine. The attendance is increasing by metes and bounds. Anten the erudition of the teachers of the school at present, they are as qualified intellectually as any the school has ever had and perhaps more so spiritually. Among our teachers there are graduates of the local high schools, Howard University, Lincoln University, Pa. etc. Then, too, a Sunday school teacher's fitness is not based solely upon his diploma but upon his spiritual, moral and general adaptability for such work as well. These qualifications I claim for the teachers at the Florida Ave. Baptist Sunday School. As for the pastor, Rev. Taylor, he is a man of broad vision and very great ability. He is indeed a scholar and a gentleman. His fair, honest and Christian administration of the affairs of the church has endeared him to the members. His sermons are full of impulsion, gracefully phrased, with charming evocations interspersed with a reasonable and a sensible degree of spirituality and eloquently delivered. In him you will find converge all the qualities of a pastor par excellence. "It is easier to be critical than it is to be perfect."

DRINKS HAIR TONIC FOR GIN. Louis Tillman, a barber in an uptown Fourteenth street barber shop, while in a hurry for work on last Thursday morning, drank several swallows of hair tonic before he digcovered that the bottle did not contain gin. Tillman is a new arrival in the city from Kingston, N. C.. In telling of the mishap to a reporter of The Bee, who questioned him as to what effect the hair tonic had on him said, "I have never felt better in my life." AN ENTERPRISING MAN. The Washington Bee: I have been living in the District of Columbia for nearly forty years, and I have been in touch with nearly all the colored lawyers and business men, and never before have I ever read of one person purchasing four houses in one month until the Evening Star of last month, November, 1916, and found that Mr. Clarence M. DeVelle, general agent and real estate broker, of 1014 W street northwest, had bought four houses and six lots during the month of November. Mr. DeVelle is very modest, quiet and unassuming, but wide awake awake when it comes to business. A CANDLE DISPLAY. A unique and interesting service entitled "Candle Display" will be held at Israel C. M. E. Church, Cor. 1st and B streets southwest, Sunday December 17th, 1916, at 8 p. m. The principal address will be delivered by Mr. Archibald Pinkett, president of the Bethel Literary Association. Musical selections will be rendered by the Columbia Quartette. THE FROLIQUE. A novel and very pretty dance called a froilique, was given last week at the Odd Fellows Hall. Primarily a society dance, the decorations, favors and added features presented, gave a pleasing change from the usual dance affair. Mr. Jay Clifford, under whose direction the affair was arranged, had as guests of the evening the Lion and the Mouse players from the Howard Theatre. For favors paper hats and plumes were given the ladies and paper caps were given to the gentlemen. To some these were becoming. During a sorpentine dance paper streamers were thrown over the decorations and hung over or wrapped itself around the dancers. Among the features were fancy dancing by Dr. and Mrs Bullock, song by Mr. Clarence Muse, a character dance by Mrs. Anderson assisted by Mr. Muse and a solo dance by Mr. Olden. The folks generally made the visitors welcome and they expressed themselves as highly pleased with the courtesies extended. A number of society matrons acted as matrons for the occasion. Dainty refreshments were served during the evening. NATIONAL NEWS NOTES NATIONAL NEWS NOTES. Brief Bits of News and Comment on Men and Women. Uncle Sam Wants $200,000,000. Political economists believe that we have reached the very limit of internal revenue taxation. With more taxes imposed upon the people this year than ever before there is still insufficient revenue to meet our national requirements. It is estimated that a bond issue of more than $200,000,000 will have to be issued. Take away the $325,000,000 received from liquor, over one-third of the government's entire revenue, and the country will face a shortage of more than $500,000,000. Would the result be a direct tax on every citizen to make up the revenue formerly paid state and federal governments by these interests? Has prohibition ever proved practical? Are you willing to greatly increase your own taxes by trying out an experiment that has never fulfilled its extravagant promises during the past sixty or seventy years?

LOVING. A dance, intended as a compliment to Major and Mrs. Walter H. Loving, was given at True Reformers Hall last week. Owning to the illness of Major Loving and his hasty departure from the city, the affair was given without the guests being present, it being too late to call it off after the doctor has advised his patient, to leave this climate at once. Three or four dozen couples had a very pleasant evening. The ladies dresses were exceptionally pretty and presented a picture well-worth seeing. Light refreshments were served. Special Notice.

The members no longer strut around like peacocks, dictating behind closed doors, who shall or shall not participate in the social confabs. What would make outsiders look on and take notice the black cabinet had it. Speaking of the black cabinet, I will say that Link Johnson would rather be the companion of the denizen of bloodfield than dance attendance in the black cabinet. Link was cosmopolitical antagonist to sleep. His as he wanted to be. He had a happy faculty of attending to his own business and allowing other people to attend to theirs. Link was good company when he wanted to be. He was the high priest. in the Ananias Club whose prevarications could not be surpassed. If you ever heard him tell of the 1912 national republican convention, he would convince you that he had the nomination or the defeat of Col. Roosevelt in his own hands. He has the happy faculty of putting his greatest political blunder was his fight against Charles W. Anderson. Link is less diplomatic than Anderson. The latter is the reader of men more than the former. One is more polished in his diplomacy, while the other is bolsterous. This was evidenced when he was recorder of deeds. Link was more patronizing than Mr. Anderson who was the real master of his office. What is all this excitement about? The ex-politicians are on the rampage. Something will happen in a few days. "If you have tears to shed, prepare to shed them now." The ex-collector of the port at Georgetown has gone into his little hole, thinking of what happened November 5th and how his hopes were blighted. Tom Clark will dream, at least for four years longer, thinking of the trials and tribulations that, once impeded his progress. He will-think of his old friend, Geo. C. Smith, who read him a lesson that he will not forget. The Sage has a message for him which he will deliver at his first opportunity. The Sage is aware of L.i.s fidelity(?) to friends; the Sage knows that he would not do an act that would embarrass any one. Geo. C. Smith has an interesting history of his life which is good reading. He and George are personal friends, you know. If George could make a coffin to fit him he would not hesitate putting him into it. I heard a few day ago that Hogan or Berckley would be the next national committeeman from the District of Columbia. Let us reflect for a moment. I would not be surprised. This committee has done so many foolish things until nothing it does surprises me. I was in the police court Tuesday and one of my friends was being tried for threats. One of my legal companions also figured in the affair, so much so that he could not be found when an attempt was made to locate him. I never was so much amused when his honor, Judge Mullowney looked up over his eye glasses, with surprise and remarked, "You don't mean to say our lawyer was assaulted, do you?" "Oh, yes," remarked the astute prosecuting attorney, Ralph Givens. You know Mr. Givens never gets excited. He never loses his head. He is the same philosophical individual who will give you a square deal if you will permit him. He never tries to take advantage of a defendant to convict. Every member of the bar will say this about him. THE RACE QUESTION. From the Southwestern Christian Advocate.

Among the subjects discussed were "The Duplication of Schools," "The Rural School Problem," Religious Instruction in Schools," The Standardization of the University, College, Normal, Teacher, Training and Secondary Schools." Dr. J. E. Shepard of the National Training School presided. he was assisted in carrying forward this work through the generosity of a Christian woman of New York City. Dr. W. E. DuBois delivering the key note address in the opening session, pleaded for a continuance of the conference and insisted everywhere the Negro question is discussed there are people densely ignorant on very important phases of the question. Dr. DuBois urged the continuance of the conference and suggests an outline of subjects covering at least ten or twelve years. The subjects which he suggests could be studied with profit and the findings of the conference widely distributed would have an important bearing on the race discussions throughout the country: (1) "Health and Physic." (2) "Education. Primary. Secondary. High and Vocational;" (3) Occupations with correlated subjects of wages, conditions of labor—and—(4) "Homes, expendi- PALMER'S SKIN TENER brown skin.

At once it can be readily seen a national conference project on such a large scale would be of vast service to the race. Dr. DuBols was thoroughly correct when he said an adequate sum to promote such a conference would yield large returns and a better understanding of the race question and assist the Negro to do large things for himself. Dr. Shepard has rendered large service to the race in this identical conference. We hope the race may have the benefit of his organizing ability, energy and constructive leadership for years to come.
