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 WASHINGTON, D. C.; SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1917 VOL. XXXVIII, NO. 23 Manager Andrew J. Thomas Celebrates His Seventh Anniversary. The Most Cultured Audience in the History of the Theatre—A Handsome Horseshoe. Floral Design Presented to Him—Introduced by Editor W. Calvin Chase. Beginning with Monday, October 22nd, Manager Andrew J. Thomas of the Howard Theatre celebrated his seventh anniversary of the control and management of that theatre. No one individual has done more to give the masses of all denominations more peace of mind and body than that young dramatic master of histrionic art. It has been by the expenditure of money, time, labor and the support of the people that has caused him to succeed in making his playhouse the greatest in the United States controlled by colored management. When The Bee announced last week that the proprietor of the Howard Theatre, Mr. Thomas, would publicly extend thanks to his patrons, every available seat in the theatre was occupied by Washington's most select people. Never in the history of the theatre has such a distinguished audience ever assembled. The ladies came out in their best attire, while the males, many of them, wore conventional suits. Prior to the presentation of Mr. Thomas, House Manager Byers introduced Miss Fannie M. Caston, who took up a collection for the Red Cross. Afterward an opportunity was given a representative to speak of the virtues of the Liberty Bonds and the advisability of colored Americans purchasing them. After the second intermission Mr. Byers introduced Editor W. Calvin Chase who, on behalf of the management, in a short address, introduced Mr. An- drew J. Thomas, the proprietor of the Howard Theatre. Mr. Thomas said, in part, that he thanked the people for their support and encouragement given him since he first assumed charge of the theatre. Without their support, said Mr. Thomas, he would have failed. He cited several instances how he had struggled to accommodate the the people; that he had suggested the propriety of organizing a corporation and establishing a chain of ten theatres throughout the country, but many declared that it was an impossibility. Similar declarations were made when he assumed charge of this theatre, but today it is no dream—it is a reality, and he hoped that the next anniversary would bring greater success to the theatre than the present one. He gave a very striking illustration how Columbus convinced those who helped him to discover America. As Columbus succeeded, so may he succeed. Nothing is beyond human possibilities, declared Mr. Thomas. He then thanked his help who had shared with him in the success of his theatre, and concluded his interesting address by assuring his patrons that he would in the future as he has done in the past, endeavor to present such high-class plays and pictures that would commend them selves to the favorable approbation of his patrons. his patio. At this juncture a handsome horse- shoe of the most select flowers, mea- suring about five feet high and three feet wide, was presented to him be- one of the lady-workers—the gift of that well known and popular citizen and merchant, Mr. Brown, whose place of business is at the corner of Seventh and T Streets N. W. This gentleman has always had the highest esteem for the proprietor of the Howard Theatre and colored Americans in general. It was, indeed, a thoughtful and appreciative gift on the occasion of the seventh anniversary of the management of Howard Theatre. No man has made greater sacrifices to succeed and please the masses than Mr. Thomas. No man is more thankful than he is for the support the people have given him, and today the colored citizens of this city have a playhouse of which they are proud. All that Mr. Thomas asks is time and opportunity to complete the repairs he is contemplating to make and which he has begun to make. For years the people clamored for a playhouse of their own. An effort was made several years ago to start one and several thousand dollars was collected, but the enterprise failed, and it has been but a few weeks ago that the stockholders were returned 65 percent of their money. Mr. Thomas had no one to support him financially, but with money he had earned by his musical ability and business qualifications he is today the most successful theatre manager in the United States. He belongs to a family of musical geniuses who have made good, and one of the brothers made himself famous a few years ago by writing and publishing a song that was heard and seen in every household in the country. Mrs. Thomas, the mother of the Thomas brothers, is a Christian woman who is proud of her sons and daughters, who have enjoyed a most successful life and continue to enjoy the same. The character of the audience that greeted Mr. Thomas last Friday night was a most cultured one, that will be emblazoned on the school of attendance. ACTION BY THE N. A. A. C. P. Discrimination on Account of Color in the Senate Restaurant and Galleries. It was generally talked about the streets early last summer that certain gentlemen who were at the Capitol on business went into the Senate restaurant for lunch and were denied service there on the ground of color, the waiter who came to them stating that he could not take their order for the reason that direction had been given by Senator Overman, under whose control the Senate restaurant comes, not to serve colored people. Recently it became noised about that a colored lady had been denied admission to the ladies' gallery of the Senate on account of color, and that on appeal to the sergeant-at-arms as to the matter, the only answer given was, "That is the order." Because there had been no public expression of indignation by colored people with reference to the alleged proscriptions, and especially because there had been no public manifestation of activity by the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, it was popularly supposed that no notice had been taken of these occurrences. The Bee in a recent issue contained an article making inquiry as to the attitude of the N. A. A. C. P. with reference to the discriminations. The Bee can state on the highest authority that colored gentlemen were denied accommodation in the Senate restaurant and were given the reasons above quoted. The refusal to admit a colored lady to the ladies' gallery on the ground of color has not been established as yet. It was an error to assume that the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. had not taken action with reference to the denial of rights. As a matter of fact, it has taken action. It must be remembered that in times like these in which we are now living, and under laws which have found their way to the statute books during the present year, an organization intended to defend a people wrongfully deprived of legal and constitutional rights has to move with unusual caution and circumspection. As soon, therefore, as these incidents could be taken up, the responsible officers of the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. began to con- THE FIRST WORLD WAR I inclose you a copy of letter from Senator Overman in answer to mine regarding the exclusion of citizens of the United States from the Senate Mr. Clarence M. DeVeile, one of Washington's most prominent, energetic and prosperous young colored business men and real estate agent of this city, says that although there are more colored people in the Government service and other employments than ever before, yet there are some who are unfortunate and greatly in need, or will be, before this winter is ended, and he wishes The Bee to announce that he has several houses and lots to rent during the entire winter FREE to any person who may apply, well recommended, and unable to pay any rent. Mr. DeVeile says he feels this his Christian duty, since the Lord has blessed and prospered him. Mr. Clarence M. DeVeile is licensed by the Honorable Commissioners of the District of Columbia to engage in all phases of the real estate business and to loan money on real estate. He has plenty of money to loan, has houses, lots, flats, garages, stores, etc., sider among themselves and with others as to a peaceable and civilized mode of procedure to make an effective protest. It was finally decided that a petition would meet the exigencies of the case, and accordingly a petition stating the grounds of grievance and praying for relief was drawn up and placed in the hands of Senator Jones of Washington. It was not presented for the reasons stated in the correspondence which follows. When Congress reassembles, however, the matters embraced in the petition will be tested out. Wesley L. Jones, chairman; J. H. Davis, clerk—United States Senate—Committee to Investigate Trespasses Upon Indian Lands—October 3, 1917. Mr. Archibald H. Grimke, President, Washington Branch, National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, Washington, D. C. My Dear Mr. Grimke: Your favor of September 26th, with petition addressed to the Senate regarding denial of the rights of citizenship with reference to the restaurant and Senate galleries, came to hand. I thought it wise to make some inquiry relative to this matter before presenting it. The times are not opportune to create dissension and we want to be sure of our ground before eating. to, rent and sell. It is said that Mr. DeVeile has made a greater progress in life than any person of his race, as he has only been in business for himself five years and owns sixteen houses in this city, has cash in different banks, and several hundred dollars in Liberty Bonds. He is the only agent and attorney in the city who will sell you any house you want and loan you money to buy it after you leave with him a small deposit. Free automobile service, with experienced chauffeurs, for all clients who are aged and infirm desiring to purchase from him. Should you need any advice or assistance on any real estate matters, or should you desire to invest your money in any way, or if you have any property to rent or sell, or should you need cash money, call and see him at 1014 W St. N. W., or phone N. 1644. Office open from 9 in the morning until 9:30 at night. The Bee wishes him continued success. restaurant on account of their color. You will note what he says regarding the matter. While all that he says may be and doubtless is true, the situation disclosed would indicate a very convenient way of excluding our colored citizens from the restaurant, and it probably gives them no legal right to complain, but they certainly have a moral right to do so. United States Senate—Committee on Rules June 6, 1972 Hon. Wesley L. Jones, United States Senate. My Dear Senator: Your highly esteemed favor of the 5th instant, with reference to the complaint of several colored citizens who were refused service in the Senate restaurant on April 27th, received. In reply I beg to say that the Senate Rules Committee has never passed any rule which prohibits the citizens of the United States from being served in the Senate restaurant on account of color. It is my personal opinion, however, that this restaurant is not a public restaurant, but is a private one, maintained solely for the convenience of Senators, and persons who are permitted to eat there, other than Senators, do so through the courtesy of the Rules Committee. I think the Senators would have the right to exclude even their secretaries. (Continued to page 4.) THE REPUBLICAN TICKET. The Republican party presents to the citizens of Prince George County a ticket which will win. The party is to be congratulated upon securing the consent of Wm. O. Atwood, of Baltimore City; to head the ticket. Mr. Atwood will on account of his sterling integrity and well known business ability bring the bulk of the independent votes to the Republican party, thus securing an economical administration of the most important office of Comptroller of the State. For State Senator, Mr. Oliver S. Metzerott has been chosen. Mr. Metzerott needs no introduction to the people of Prince George County. He has at all times labored for the best interest of the State and County. At the last two sessions of the legislature he represented his party as their floor leader and receiv a much deserved commendation from the leaders of the Republican party from all parts of Maryland for his able efforts. Mr. Metzerott, assisted by his colleague, Mr. William N. Fisher, made a strong fight for the repeal of the Wilson ballot law. They succeeded in having the bill passed through the House by a vote of 88 to 12, only to have the results of their work killed in the Senate by the present State Senator from Prince George, assisted by the Senators from Howard and Anne Arundel Counties. For the House of Delegates, Messrs. Wm. T. Davis, Wm. N. Fisher, Geo. B. Merrick and G. B. Timanus have been chosen. Mr. Wm. T. Davis is a business man from the county seat and enjoys the respect and confidence of all with whom he is acquainted. He has never before been a candidate for public office. Mr. William Noble Fisher has one good term in the House of Delegates to his credit. Give him another chance, as he is deserving. Especially does he deserve the support of the colored race, as he is the only man ever sent to the legislature from Prince George who tried to raise the pay of the colored school teachers. Mr. George B. Merrick, son of the late Judge Merrick, is a prominent lawyer of Marlboro. Mr. Merrick served very creditably to himself and party in the legislature of 1898. He stands for progressive legislation and will be found fighting for the good of his county at all times. Mr. G. B. Timanus, of Laural, for several years postmaster there, is recognized as an able business man, one who will be uniting in his efforts that his county may fare well in legislative matters. The candidates for the legislature stand for a reduction of taxes wherever possible, the building of roads within the county's means, no more offices for politicians, and better pay for the school teachers, white and colored. For County Commissioners the Republican party was again most fortunate in securing the names of Mr. W. H. Duvall, of Nottingham, and Mr. Charles A. Ryon, of Spaldings. Both of these gentlemen are farmers, are self-made men, and are of the highest reputation and standing. They will strive to lessen the county's expenditures wherever possible, but stand most emphatically for schools and roads, with better pay for the teachers. Mr. W. Wesley Beall, a most able Deputy Sheriff for the past two years, is our candidate for Sheriff. He is a son of the late Wesley Beall, of Prince George, who most acceptably to the people of the county. filled the office of Sheriff for a term and that of County Commissioner for two terms. Mr. Beall pledges his best efforts in keeping peace and order in the county and promises the lawbreakers a warm time. Mr. Edward L. Latimer, of Hyattsville, twice before Surveyor of the county, is again a candidate. With the proper aid from the county, Mr. Latimer promises the people a set of surveyors' records of which they will be proud. Prince George County, on account of its numerous subdivisions, needs the services of a competent surveyor and Ed. Latimer is the man. The people will know of it, if it appears in The Bee. THE PEOPLE'S FUNERAL SERVICE Dr. R. C. Richardson Succeedes Stock on the Increase—Many Well Known Citizens Will Speak. The People's Funeral Service Corporation of the District of Columbia, of which Dr. R. C. Richardson is president, is one of the most successful corporations in the United States. Monday evening, November 5th, this corporation will celebrate its first anniversary in the Metropolitan Baptist Church, of which Rev. W. M. D. Norman is pastor and who will preside on this occasion. This is the only corporation of its kind that is incorporated to manufacture undertakers' supplies and sell them at wholesale and retail prices. This corporation is the first to introduce automobile funeral service which REV. M. W. D. NORMAN, has been very satisfactory. On all occasions these have been as high as twenty cars in line. Dr. Richardson is a thoroughgoing man and he has always been successful. He believes in the future possibility of his race and has done a great deal in that direction. He is the only colored man in this city who owns and controls in his own right the largest apartment house in this city. He was the first man to go throughout the country and introduce the progress of his race against the canvass. He has a most accomplished wife, who is not only a business woman, but an educator, who is a great help to this corporation. Mrs. Richardson is known everywhere she has ever appeared in this country as an elocutionist, and no woman has greater executive ability. Speaking of this corporation, there are men connected with high moral standing and Monday evening in the McMahon Baptist Church some of the most representa- REV. W. H. BROOKS tive men in this city will speak, viz: Scripture reading, Rev. James Penn; prayer, Rev. A. C. Garner; address, subject, "Corporation," Rev. J. E. Willis; address, subject, "The Need of Advertising." Hon. W. C. Chase; address, subject, "Cooperation." Rev. W. H. Brooks. Charles S. Williams, Esq. member of the District of Columbia bar, who will defend John Snowden at Annapois is, Md., will also make an address. Rev. M. W. D. Norman will be the presiding officer of the meeting. SATURDAY SERMONS BY UNUS And he played on a harp of a thousand strings. A LESSON OF THE WAR. The present war has served to emphasize one great fact, and that is the inefficiency of our national social organization compared to that of some European countries. By social organization I refer to the customs of the people, our political systems, and the machinery of production and exchange. When we shall have spent twenty-five billions to learn this fact, perhaps it will not have been spent in vain. Our one great sin is that as a nation we have been too self-centered and complacent. We found on these shores about three centuries ago a salubrious climate, a fertile soil, virgin forests and waters teeming with fish, and in that period we have been favored with an isolation from the turbulent politics of other continents. Here was a rare opportunity, but the settlers of the new continent signally failed to make the best use of the opportunity. They blundered at nearly every turn. Whatever seeming marked success we have had has been due mainly to the abundant natural resources and to "main strength and awkwardness." We have impoverished our soil, wasted our forests and exterminated many useful varieties of our fauna and flora. We have been content to remain in comparative ignorance of some of the primary things that concern the national life. We have neglected the science of agriculture, the science of distribution and the science of conservation. Notably have we neglected the science and art of cookery and of health. We have always been prodigally wasteful of our surplus products. We have been hesitating since the day of the Declaration of Independence whether to adopt a strong homogenious system of government with one great central authority or to worship at the shrine, of "state rights." We have experimented with body slavery; we are now toying with industrial slavery. The cupidity of the slave master and the cupidity of the industrial magnate have brought to our shores many alien and dissimilar races who cannot possibly coalesce or become homogenious in many centuries to come. Racial and class antipathy and proscription are a common practice. Because we have little racial solidarity we have not yet developed a national solidarity. The editor of this paper recently commented on the claim of a statistical observer, that only about 55 per cent of our total population are thoroughly Americans at heart. The editor contended, however, that our colored population are 100 per cent loyal, figuring that, if the statistician is correct, only 45 per cent of the non-blacks are truly loyal. Now, who are to blame for the historical facts and the present condition of things that we charge in the foregoing? Up to about a half a century ago the black man had no part in the management of affairs, and up to that time, the most of the migration of white people to this country was from Northern Europe. For all blunders up to that time the pure white race, the boasted Aryan race, must assume all responsibility. For the blunders in the last fifty years the colored people must assume some share of the responsibility. They cannot wield the ballot and exercise a free agency in all social activities and at the same time shirk a due share of responsibility for the national weal. But it is not my purpose here to discuss the American colored man. I am discussing our nation as a whole. The lesson here pointed out is a lesson for the whole people. This war not only serves to show us the weakness and inadequacy of our military system heretofore existing, but the utter lack of any sort of comprehensive system to regulate production, distribution and conservation of the necessities of the national life in a great crisis. Of course, the "blue-eyed Saxon" is mainly responsible for the present condition, but let not the black man take any consolation in that. All the faults of the American white man in industrial left-handedness and political strabismus are, chargeable in even greater degree to the colored man. Let all pull together in future to put our house in order. The following officers were re-elected: A. W. Gray, president; William Hayden, vice-president; T. Corrothers, secretary; Mrs. Brooks, treasurer. 1 A list of the changes in the local restaurants and saloons will be given in a future number of The Bee which will be very interesting to hundreds of men in the craft in Washington who are now on contracts to work in other cities, beginning November 1st. Numbered on the list will be some of our leading citizens of both races, who will work in other localities—men who are masters in the art of mixing a cocktail and originators of many a fancy drink, and have had the pleasure of serving and knowing personally hundreds of men whose names are painted on the wall of fame. Among the resignations made recently, at the New Ebbitt is W. H. Brown, or "Jew Brown," as he is called by many who knew him personally at the service bar. Mr. Brown closes a great career at the Ebbitt, having served seven years as waiter and bartender. Among the captains to resign are W. E. Scott and C. H. Johnson. Mr. Scott has been succeeded by Mr. J. H. Sager. Mr. Johnson's successor is Mr. Dan Conners. Capt. M. F. Green has reported for duty after several weeks' illness; also Mr. James H. Harris. The National Hotel Gazette says: "We have had a "meatless day" and a "wheatless day," and now from the black aspect of things it looks as if we are going to have a "heatless day." Mr. Leon D. Mitchell is now connected with a big Broadway restaurant in New York City. Colonel Myers has suggested a shaveless day. Mr. J. H. Mayo, head waiter at the Virginian Hotel, Lynchburg, Va., was in town on business and pleasure last Monday. His largest banquet this season was the Lynchburg Board of Trade, which was served in great style last Wednesday evening. Above the badges of every waiter in the majority of the local hotels is his food conservation button. We are very glad to see the interest taken in the matter of helping Mr. Hoover and his officials in the food saving campaign, but some hotels are profiteering by serving brown sugar to the help; thus ruining the taste of a good cup of coffee. If the sugar shortage ever gets that acute as to rob the hundreds of waiters in the city of Washington out of their hot coffee in the morning, it will do far more harm their good to all concerned. Mr. James Runciman is now general manager of the Globe Restaurant Company of this city, having complete charge of six of the largest restaurants in the downtown section. Mr. W. T. Sprague, of the New Ebbitt, has returned to his duties, after attending the funeral of his mother-in-law. A very handsome floral tribute was sent to the home of the bereaved by the New Ebbitt Waiters Association. DOUGLASS-SIMMONS. The Douglass-Simmons Home and School Association held its first meeting of the year at Simmons School on Thursday. October 25, 1917, at 7:30 p.m. The subject of the evening was "The School as a Center in the Community." Rev. W. D. Battle, the principal speaker, dwelt on the moral aspect of the center activities. Among the other speakers were Miss Cecil Norton, chief community secretary; Mrs. Smith, a member of the community buying group of the Wilson Normal School, and Dr. W. S. Montgomery, supervising, principal of the Twelfth Division. All discussed the larger possibilities for war service in the school community centers. Resolutions were adopted favoring Dunbar High School as the center for the Douglass-Simmons School district. Committees also were appointed to take up playground and traffic regulation matters with the Board of Education.

Washington. D. C. The Republicans of Prince George's County, Maryland, have nominated the best and strongest ticket for county and legislative offices in twenty years. The voters, white and colored, should put their shoulders to the wheel and elect the ticket. Every candidate for the legislature is a man of high moral and political standing. They are men who have had experience in county and State affairs, and men who, if elected, will give the people of the county and State of Maryland the very best services that any public servants ever rendered the people. This is the time the people are in need of the very best men men who know what laws to make and how to enforce them to reduce the high cost of living which today is affecting the masses. The Republicans of Prince George's County have named a ticket that should appeal to every voter, white and black, and to voters who want a good government. The Bee, therefore, urges every loyal Republican and good citizen, and especially the colored voters, to support and vote for the entire ticket, which is printed elsewhere in this week's Bee. The colored voters, above all others, need the very best government for their welfare. This is no time to sleep at the post. Study the names of every Republican candidate carefully, so that no mistake will be made in voting the right ticket or for the right men. There are nine candidates to be voted for in this county, including the head of the ticket, Mr. Atwood, for Comptroller, hence make no mistake in voting for the right men. There is to be extraordinary work done at the State Capital, and it is necessary for every man, white and black, to see to it that a Republican is elected to the legislature. At this crisis of our republic men are needed in the councils of the nation who are sound in mind and understanding. The personnel of the Republican ticket of Prince George's County, Maryland, is beyond all question one that commands the confidence and consideration of the voters, irrespective of party. It is hoped, therefore, that the colored voters will make a record in this election—such a record that will commend them to the party to which they are identified. HOW TO IMITATE THE WHITE MAN. The colored man in America must necessarily adopt the civilization of the white man. He has already adopted it in great measure-language, religion and most social customs. He had no opinion but to adopt these, and for it deserves no credit or blame. In short; absolute necessity has forced him to imitate the white man in many things. The colored people in America in their imitation of the whites have fallen short in those matters wherein they had option, choice or free agency. In industrialism and commerce they have shown little initiative or aggressiveness. In many social customs and practices, where they had choice, they have imitated the follies of the white man rather than his wisdom The combined results of these forced imitations of the white man in some essentials and these chosen imitations in non-essentials (frills and follies) some of our ablest social students and oracles are disposed to regard as "marvelous strides along all lines of progress." It is amusing how not a few of our educated big men gain great notoriety by turning out stuff of this sort. They write newspaper articles, pamphlets and books embodying this line of truck and sell the pamphlets and books to the open-mouthed populace at a stiff price. Thereby they gain a bogus fame and a tainted fortune. We advise our people to take less stock in this sort of gush and We would do well to follow the example of the Japanese. A little over fifty years ago the Japanese suddenly woke up to find themselves far behind in material knowledge and progress. They set systematically to work to study the thing out. They sent their brightest young men, at State expense, to America and Europe to study and observe. Those young men returned home and reported what they had seen and heard. What did the Japanese nation do as a result? They adopted the good things they saw in the white man's civilization. They improved on the indifferent. They rejected the bad. They were careful to adapt any new things they saw to their peculiar needs. For example, when they came to consider the matter of a new national religion, did they adopt Christianity? No. They selected out some of its best features and grafted them on to their existing Shintoism and other isms, with the result that they now have a very satisfactory up-to-date composite religious system exactly suited to their needs. Compare the course of our colored people with that of the Japanese. The colored people swallowed the white man's religion with hook and line; the Japanese nibbled with caution. The colored people swallowed the white man's religion among the first and main things; the Japanese considered that last. The colored people adopted all the ludicrous follies of the white man; the Japanese skipped those. The colored people have never taken hold seriously of the industrial and other economic wisdom that they could easily learn from the whites; the Japanese seized that with avidity and mastered it in a very few years. That was the very first thing they took up. Today, in a little more than fifty years from the time when Commodore Perry went to Japan and opened the eyes of the Nipponese, and but a little longer than the period of emancipation in the United States, the Japanese are scarcely surpassed by any nation for skill in manufactures, in art, in commerce and in political and managerial wisdom. And they are wealthy compared to the best standards. In the fifty years from 1866, the close of the Civil War, the colored people of the United States are almost an economic nonentity. What a comparison! The main trouble is in the fact that our colored people do not imitate the white man in the proper things, in the essential things. They give too much time to frivolity, to religion and sing- ing. They spend too much money for alcohol and narcotics, for showy ornament and for aimless travel. Let us imitate the white man in his wisdom, but not compete with him in his follies. PARTY PERFIDY. The spectacle of the bolting of the Republican party in the present mayoralty contest by Roosevelt, Taft and Hughes in favor of an avowed Democrat is disgusting. Here are three men who have received the highest honors the Republican party could bestow. They not only flatly refuse to support the regular nominee of their party, a splendid man, in a very important election which will have a large bearing on the national fortunes of the party, but they have taken a leading part in putting forward an opposition candidate, a Democrat, who has no prospects of election. The Republican candidate, William M. Bennett, is the regular Republican nominee. He won the nomination in a clean square fight. The honorable and logical thing for Mitchel to have done after failure to get any nomination from any representative body was to retire and support Mr. Bennett. This would have insured Mr. Bennett's election. Mr. Mitchel has no show of election. Roosevelt, Taft and Hughes know this. What was their purpose in putting forward the discredited Mitchel? Evidently they are doing the bidding of those powerful financial interests who would rather have a Tammany man for mayor than a clean Republican. Here was the first time in many years when the Republican party in New York City had a certain chance to come into power, and to exert a vast influence in future national elections. Behold the attitude of Roosevelt, Taft and Hughes in this crisis. The effect is that Mr. Bennett must fight three opponents instead of two. "How sharper than a serpent's tooth is the bite of a thankless child." The indications are that Mr. Bennett is a strong popular favorite and has excellent prospects to win. WILLIAM M. BENNETT, REPUBLICAN. The Republican primary of New York City has nominated Mr. William M. Bennett, for mayor. The nomination of Mr. Bennett was established only after the exposure of glaring ballot frauds by the supporters of Mr. John Purroy Mitchel, the so-called "fusion candidate," who was seeking the Republican nomination. Mitchel failed to get either the Republican, the Democratic or the Socialist nomination. After his square defeat in the Republican primary, which left him in the position of being the candidate of no regular party, the big business interests who want him for mayor again, drummed up a "mass meeting" at the front of the City Hall, consisting of a handfull of people, and gave him what they call a "popular nomination." Conspicuous at that alleged "mass meeting" were Messrs Japaled by munfac and in isdom. impared 66, the the col. States monen- The milk in the cocoanut seem to be that the New York Centre Railroad wants Mitchel for mayor. Other big financial interests are equally anxious this reason is particularly opposed to Bennett. In the meantime Mr. Bennett is making a vigorous fight for election as the regular Republican candidate and a number of the Republican supporters of Mitchel are being indicted for ballot frauds in the recent primary. We have taken pains to make particular inquiry about Mr. Bennett and his prospects for election. He is a young lawyer of exTEN—The Bee cellent standing and a former State Senator. Two years ago he was a Republican nominee for Congress, when he came near defeating a Democrat in a strong Tammany district. He is a man of conspicuous ability and energy. He is as clean as a clinker. He surprised the New York "leaders" by his recent victory in the primaries. Unable to oppose him on any valid ground, their policy seems to be to pretend to ignore his candidacy. But it is evident that the people know him well and mean to elect him. Keep an eye on William M. Bennett. His political career is only just beginning. If the National Republican party is to "come back," it must be under the leadership of clean, able and vigorous men of this type. If he is elected mayor, he will be a promising candidate for the Senate or the Presidency. RALLY, REPUBLICANS! The last Republican rally, before the election November 6th, will take place in the Fairmount Heights Hall this Saturday evening, November 3rd, on which occasion Hon. Wm. N. Fisher, candidate for the legislature; Hon. Oliver S. Metzerott, candidate for the State Senate, and others will speak. There is every reason that the voters of Fairmount Heights and adjacent counties should be present and see the candidates and hear them and vote accordingly. Don't fail to be present Saturday night. GET ON THE LIST. The Police Department of the District Government is in need of men. The need is so pressing that persons not residents of the District may take the examinations, and applicants qualified in other respects will be accepted who are not less than five feet seven inches in height. There has been, and still is, much comment and complaint because no colored man has been appointed to the police force since February, 1909, or more than eight years ago. Colored persons having the physical, mental and moral qualifications should get on the eligible list, and then it will be possible to test the matter. Until that is done it is useless to indulge in complaints, accusations, or suspicions. Colored men, Commissioner Brownlow will give you a square deal. Go in and qualify at once. FAIRMOUNT HEIGHTS.

RYON Spaldings District For County Surveyor EDWARD L. LATIMER Hyattsville District has issued no instructions that would curtail the rights of colored ladies to the Senate galleries. Senator Overman also came to me yesterday and said that no such rules or orders had been issued, but that the doorkeepers had been instructed to act discreetly with reference to everybody seeking entrance to the galleries, and that if anybody had been refused entrance it had been because of some peculiar circumstance or condition at the time. He says that they do not desire to make any discrimination between American citizens of any kind. Yqu understand that admission to the Senate galleries during the last several months has been entirely by card, and different cards are necessary for each day. Under the circumstances, I doubt the wisdom of presenting your petition at this time. I hope you will agree with me in this. If anything along this line should develop in the future and we can be sure of our ground, I shall be glad to take the matter up. These are serious times and I believe your people will lose nothing by forbearance. I know that your load is heavy and I shall do everything in my power to lighten it. Very sincerely yours, W. L.

Fort Des Moines Training Camp, the greatest single achievement in the annals of Negro endeavor. Life at this camp will be depicted at Bethel Literary next Tuesday evening by William H. J.

Zion Church, Eva Virginia Johnson, directress. session. They gee-eyy further lawyers to try their es in them. The coloured bar as ociation should draw the eye and see that none but practicing attorneys be admitted to its association. Speaking about colored lawyers, I failed to mention the Sundowns, who continue to practice in violation of the civil service rules. A man should either resign his government job and practice his profession or confine himself to his job alone. The man who practices his profession and earns a livelihood deserves credit, but the man who is in office and practices his profession after sun down belongs to the Sundown class. The colored association should not recognize the Sundown lawyers; they should be classed among the By the Sage of the Forum I have been convinced, when person cannot continue, use you for his personal aims, he will cease speaking to you is what you call secondary friendship. * * * The commissioned officer in the reserve camp who visited the Howard Theatre Saturday evening looked well. My good friend Andrew J. Thomas, does things by halves, he gives the whole thing or nothing. Speaking about Andrew J Thomas, did you see him day evening—the occasion of his seventh anniversary? We made some ht and said some thing that were practical. One f.i.damsel in the center could no restrain her admiration for the Adonis. She said in a glee of ecstacy: "Oh, doesn't he look sweet!" The Sage was se te just behind her. You can just see that she was some peach. Speaking about petches, last Friday night's anniversary was a bouquet of choice roses. Some of Washington's choicest flowers were present. The audience looked like it had been selected. Dr. Curtis and Emmett J. Scott occupied seats together; while Prof. E. C. Williams was also in evidence. Dr. Curtis is an expert driver of an automobile. He has a car that doesn't know when it stop, except when it is confronted by a Maryland sheriff. The Doctor knows all about the Maryland automobile laws now. What he doesn't know about Maryland laws is not worth knowing. *** There is a new candidate for the Freedmen's Hospital. He is from Tennessee and is said to be one of the greatest colored surgeons in the United States. If you have never seen a proud man, you should stand at the corner of Eleventh and You streets any time before lunch and a little after dinner, and you will see the modern Napoleon of finance. The man who erected the Industrial Savings Bank. No doubt he is some hustler. There is a rumor that our good friend Jesse H. Foster is about to come back again. Jesse remarked some time ago that he has never retired from the ring; that he is as much a man now as he was twenty-five years ago, and if any physician of legal age who has been boosting his physical superiority will enter the ring with Jesse, he is willing to sign articles of agreement and allow him to select Doc Curtis his referee, notwithstanding Doc's inability to renew where he left off twenty-five years ago. Doc has always been a man of superior strength and medical ability, but; to go to France, he is not in that class. Dr. Will Davis, who has declared moving a failure, continues to invest in real estate. Just what he intends to do with his realty after Gabriel blows his trumpet for him is a question that he must be able to answer when Rev. Rivers asks him to kneel at the mourners' bench. Now, a good way to test a victual is to taste it. How would the colored members of a mixed audience enjoy it if a colored man should be introduced by a white man to that audience in these terms: "He is a friend of the (white) race. He stands for the (white) race. He fights for the (white) race. He believes in (white) race enterprises"? If I were that black man I should immediately enter a disclaimer; I should say "I am no more of a friend to the white race than I am to my own race. Charity begins at home, and my love for my own race is what leads me into friendly acts toward all other races. At least I am aspiring to be no more an enemy to any other race than I am to my own I want to be on the side of those who are right, even if it happens to be my own race." Atlantic City, N. J., Oct. 29. After many months of careful planning the Negro American Alliance has begun its great campaign to organize every man, woman and child of Negro birth in the United States into one great federation. Every Negro in America realizes the necessity of such an organization, especially at this crucial time in the race's history. So vast is this work until it took many months of painstaking endeavor before the plans were finally perfected. The Alliance was founded and is being pushed to success by men of broad vision and rare ability, who have the time to devote to the work. The president is James A. Lightfoot, a practicing attorney of Atlantic City and a member of the New Jersey bar. For years Mr. Lightfoot was editor and publisher of the Atlantic Advocate. His wide journalistic and legal experience eminently fit him to direct such an organization. He is the real founder of the Negro American Alliance. Mr. Floyd Delos Francis, a writer, publicist and close student of world events, is the national secretary general. Mr. Francis brings ripe journalistic experience to the service of the organization. The leading editorial article in the Philadelphia Public Ledger of August 3rd, entitled "Russia's Weakness, in War Like Weakness of Our South," attracted the attention of the entire country. The Alliance has no political affiliations and no political intentions. It will never ally itself with any of the great political parties. To do so would seriously hamper its work. It is non-sectarian. All denominations are urged to give their support, as the Alliance has no creed save the broad creed of equal opportunity for the Negro with other races and nationalities. It will be a pleasure to enroll the man who is a member of no church at all. The only qualification is that he must be a Negro. In order that responsibility might rest somewhere and give the Alliance legal standing and protection it is incorporated under the laws of the State of New Jersey and is a chartered institution of that State. This not only affords it protection, but gives it permanency and differentiates it and its work from those vague "movements" that usually begin and end in the mind of some irresponsible dreamer. It is not a proper rejinder here to say "We'll that is w'at we mean." Should we not be very caeful to say "we mean?" For we have the right to judge the meaning by the exposition. And if we are fighting a justice should we not be very reefit to avoid the methods of the preinjur and even its terminology? the court, wn lawyer walks into court, with the air of a Chesterfield and hardly can wait until the clock calls the calendar, unless he gets his excuse from the chief of his department. Some few months ago, or perhaps since Congress put a tax upon all incomes, certain members of the bar, white and colored, often boasted of their great incomes yearly. I heard two or three colored lawyers especially who wanted to keep pace with certain white lawyers state that their incomes from their profession was over five thousand dollars per annum. Now these same lawyers declare that their income is less than eleven hundred dollars per annum. The Sage knew in the first instance that they lied and now they have confirmed their lies that they told less than six months ago. There is not a lawyer, colored, at the bar will admit that he earns more than eleven hundred collars per annum. Oh, what a falling off there is in the incomes of those who boasted a few months ago of their incomes! A lawyer who has been used to earning money will not expose his roll. This is bombast. Undoubtedly the roll he expose may belong to his client, or he may have it to pay a fine of an other lawyer's client. There is to be a real citizens' association organized. An association in deed and in fact. It will not entertain public men and fail to settle with the caterer. Mr. W. W. Martin continues to chew on this non-payment of his bill of one year ago. Just why this bill is not paid, the Sage is unable to state. Public men should be careful how they accept invitations to dine from irresponsible and unreliable citizens. Hereafter consult the Sage before you accept an invitation to dine with your so-called citizens' associations. I forgot to mention the colored lawyers who play second fiddle to white lawyers. I have seen so-called legal lights that are big guns in their own estimation, carrying books for white lawyers, and if by chance one is in a case with a white brother, the white lawyer tries the case, while the colored brother sits in the rear looking wise. We have a few individuals of this kind at the bar UNCONSCIOUS PREJUDICE? "Race Man," "Race Meeting," "Friend of the Race," Etc. We are not going to discuss the unfortunate grammar of some of these expressions, but their psychology. These expressions have always disturbed us; they seem to indicate in colored people either a morbid reaction to white people's prejudice, or a deep unconscious prejudice of their own. All real prejudice is unconscious. The prejudiced man does not say, "I am prejudiced." He says, "I am right and you are wrong." As soon as prejudice discovers itself, it is no longer prejudice: it becomes then a willful and deliberate meanness. It is real prejudice when it thinks this meanness is righteousness. When we hear a good white man being introduced to a mixed audience as a friend of the race," always meaning the black race, we feel the embarrassment of that white man. For we know that the best character to which a white man, or any other man, can aspire is to be the friend of all races regardless of their colors; if feet to be the friend of no race as race, but the friend of righteousness and of MAN. of the Alliance. The men directing the Alliance meet every day and plan carefully the routine work weeks in advance. The Negro American Alliance has no "white friends." Furthermore, it does not wish any, for the simple reason that there are no such beings. No white man will ever be connected with it in any way. Not, a single penny will ever be accepted as a donation from any member of the white race. To accept, donations would impose obligations and seriously impair work of the Alliance. The Negro American Alliance is conspicuous for the absence of "imposing" and "prominent" names. The men at the head of the Alliance are men to work for the Alliance and not merely decorate stationery with names and titles. No great "advice-ory board" consisting of men located in cities thousands of miles apart is a feature The colored weekly papers are the greatest offenders in the abuse of these terms. Let us now insert the word "white" in a few of these expressions and imagine how sweet they will sound to the ears of colored people. We are going to have a (white) race meeting to look after the interests of the (white) race. This is a (white) race enterprise. This paper stands always for the best interests of the (white) race. This is a (white) race laundry, or a (white) race drug store, and so on. We should think the white race had gone mad in its pernicious and exclusiveness. Of course, much might be said about the colored man's being "the under-dog" in the fight; being on the defensive, and so forth. All the more should the black man endeavor to exemplify the ideal for which he strives. That is no reason to out-Herod Herod in the adoption of the method and the lingo of the wrong to which he is opposed. NEGRO AMERICAN ALLIANCE BEGINS GREAT WORK. First Attempt on a Big Scale to Break the System of Repression of Negro Manhood and Endeavor—One Million Members by February 1, 1918. beg you to express to the members of your association my deep appreciation of their patriotic action in subscribing $50,000 of United States Liberty Bonds They have set an example which all patriotic citizens would do well to emulate." Secretary McAdoo seemed deeply touched by this evidence of the patriotism of the Negroes of Little Rock. Turning to the committee, he said: "In the presence of this distinguished company of American citizens, I wish to thank you and your association, and to tell you that I feel proud of the colored men of America. They have in this practical manner given evidence of their patriotism and have proven anew that they are worthy of citizenship in this great republic. The colored men are doing their part in this great war. They are showing their loyalty to the country just as the white people are. They deserve the highest commendation for the work they are doing and for the credible part they are taking in this great fight for America's rights and for Liberty throughout the world. The real object of the Alliance is to break the system of repression exercised against Negroes in this country. Negroes have got to do this themselves. No member of the Caucasian race will ever do this for them. The Alliance will advertise the Negro to the country and the world in his true light and not as his detractors picture him to be. It intends to send a force of young Negroes abroad when the war is over to grow up with the new nations and thus create sentiment in the Negro's favor with other nations. These plans are all explained in a little booklet, entitled "The Negro American Alliance: Its Principles, Purposes and Aims." This booklet should be read by every Negro. It will be mailed anywhere on receipt of ten cents stamps. All communications should be addressed to Floyd Delos. Francis, National Secretary 1 General, Negro American Alliance Suite 24, Schwartz-Riddle Building Atlantic City, N. L. The great drive for members has begun. The Alliance plans to have a million members enrolled by February 4, 1918. Each member will be given a card properly filled out and a duplicate card will be kept on file in the offices of the Alliance. The Alliance will endeavor to have every family in the country subscribe for at least two Negro newspapers. It believes that the Negro nwspaper will be one of the greatest factors in breaking the system of repression exercised against Negroes in this country, and very Negro will be urged to subscribe for at least two. Little Rock, Ark.—Monday afternoon, when Hon. W. G. McAdoo, Secretary of the United States Treasury, appeared at the Palace Theatre to deliver an address on the purchasing of Liberty Bonds, he met with a very pleasing and welcome surprise from a delegation of Negroes, consisting of high officials of the Mosaic Templars of America, who were seated on the platform, when the delegation presented the Secretary with a check for $50,000 as subscription to Liberty Bonds for the organization. The committee consisted of Messrs. A. E. Bush, chairman, who is secretary-treasurer of the Monument Department; S. J. Elliott, national grand master; C. E. Bush, national grand scribe and treasurer; S. A. Jones, attorney-general, and J. H. McConico, national auditor. This organization is a purely Negro order; was founded in the city of Little Rock, Ark., in May, 1882, by J. E. Bush and C. W. Keatts. It has a membership of more than 60,000 owns its own home building in Little Rock, Ark., that is valued at more than $60,000, and has total assets to the amount of more than $200,000. Secretary McAdoo arose to speak and then something happened. At committee of five leaders of the Negro race were on the stage, and their spokesman, Scipio A. Jones, came forward and in a few chosen remarks presented the distinguished visitor with a check for $50,000, the contribution of the Mosaic Templars of America, with headquarters in Little Rock, to the Liberty Loan campaign. "And if you need $100,000 more you'll get it, Mr. Secretary," Jones concluded. A. W. GRAY, ATTORNEY. SUPREME COURT OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, HOLDING PRORATE COURT. Section 4.

Says a painstaking student of the Negro question: "I. have about reached the conclusion that the failure of the Negro, up to date, is due in causes as follows, and in the order stated: Lack of business, integrity. Knowledge of this lack in others; hence want of confidence. Disrespect of one Negro for another; hence one reason (next to lack of confidence) for unwillingness to follow. Fondness for sensuality—the things that please the eye—hence devotes undue time to them. Great vanity at small success; hence easily satisfied and quits, or else makes himself so obnoxious to others that they will not cooperate with him. All these are foes to cooperation—the only instrument of live, rapid habilitation in wealth. Result, only 1 in 1,000 ever gets beyond the status of hired man. So you see I have no illusions. I do, however, see a distant future for the Negro in business. All I am trying to do is to hurry it up a DURHAM, N. C.

Warm Clothing Being Rushed From Factory and Home to Men in Trenches. Short, Sharp Blows at Selected Points During Fine Spell, With Occasional Airplane Raids To Be Order of Day for Winter. Paris.—Preparations for the fourth winter campaign on the western front are already in full swing. The summer, campaign is over, and while both the English and French may be expected to make a few big drives, it is not anticipated that the beginning of winter, for military purposes, will see any radical alteration in the war map of France and Flanders. Millions of swenters, socks, paper suits, rubber Wellington boots, head wraps, mufflers, gloves and mittens are beginning to flow out from factory and home to the French pollus and British Tommies, hundreds of thousands of whom are facing their fourth winter period in the trenches. The comfort of the fighting man is so carefully studied now, after three years' experience, that nothing will be overlooked to make the coming harsh trial bearable. Practically all the way from Nleuport to Verdun the armies are in quarters totally different from those they occupied last winter; with the exception of one or two stretches — as around La Bassee and the Argonne—the French and British are stationed in captured German lines. Throughout the spring and summer the men have shown little inclination to dig, feeling that in view of the possibility of a further move forward, just enough shelter was good enough for the time being. Turning over earth has never appealed to any infantry in this war, but necessity is likely to force them to do a lot of it in order to provide themselves with snug and well-drained trenches for the winter. Little Change In Line. Until next spring the western line is not likely to vary to any great extent, unless the totally unexpected happens. High winds, morning and evening mists, snow flurries and rain will limit the usefulness of the airplane and diminish the enormous help it gives nowadays in every big offensive. The machines are capable of performing wonders in any weather short of a hurricane, and there will be plenty of aerial activity, especially bombing raids, right through the worst months; but poor visibility will make co-operation with the gun batteries difficult, the more so as the Germans' latest type of "Archibald," or anti-aircraft gun, enforces respect and compels pilots to fly high. In these circumstances big sweeping moves are not looked for, but rather a repetition on a more intensive scale of last winter's tactics. Short sharp blows at selected points during fine spells, a continual battering on wide fronts by concentrated gun fire lengthening out to close-up rest stations, hundreds of airplanes swarming out to attack encampments, aviation sheds, munition dumps and lines of communication—these will be the regular order of the day throughout the winter. The enemy will be kept on the jump all the time, great gaps will be torn in his dwindling reserves and every possible step taken, first to prevent his ever again assuming the initiative upon the western front, and, secondly, to weaken him irreparably for the final knockout blow in 1918. The part the American contingents will play in the winter's activity is the closest of all military secrets at this time. There is nothing that Hindenburg is burning to know so much as just what Pershing's plans are, and there is nothing that Pershing is more bent upon doing than keeping the alightest hint from Hindenburg. Prudence the Motto. But while no light can be shed at this stage upon the plans of the American commander in chief, I am able to give this assurance, that prudence is U-BOATS NOW EMPLOY SMOKE SCREEN DEVICE New York—New German devices for aiding U-boat frightfulness are reported by passengers on an American liner just arrived in port from England. One is the use of a smoke screen in which the submarine may conceal itself while attacking, escaping, or submerging. The smoke screen has been used for months by battleships, destroyers and merchantmen. Its first use by a submarine was reported in the warnings of a U-boat off the Atlantic coast. The other device is the use of mirrored periscopes. By coating them with silver the periscopes reflect the surrounding water and become invisible a couple of hundred yards away. It is believed this explains why survivors of several ships lately sunk saw no evidence of a submarine before or after the attack. War Department Prepares Plans to Enforce the Most Rigid Economy. Effect of New Plan Is to Turn Inty Large Profit What Hitherto Has Been a Very Considerable Expense. Washington.—The war department has taken elaborate and comprehensive precautions to prevent waste in the army cantonments, which will soon contain more than 2,000,000 men, and in the embarkation camps. In the feeding of the men waste will be minimized through the fact that the food will be prepared under the direction of mess cooks, who will be trained by special courses in army cooking schools. The officers' training camps have not been under the control of the war department so far as the food supplies are concerned, and the waste in those camps has been due to the lack of skilled management in the handling of food. A committee representing the war department and the United States food administration will also assist in dealing with problems of eliminating waste. The food administration has received from the secretary of war an announcement of a thorough-going plan for conserving all the waste material of the National army camps, which will result in salvaging many thousands of dollars. Collecting the Waste. The army's first consideration in planning this work has been the sanitary and hygienic problem. At each cantonment the wastes will be collected and transported to a single "transfer station" under the direction of the sanitary inspector. Through the use of the two-can system, wastes will be tightly enclosed throughout their collection. Sterilized cans will be substituted for the filled cans at the kitchens, the nuisance of disagreeable odors and danger from files being reduced to a minimum. Every step in the process of reclamation and utilization is carefully safeguarded and is under the absolute direction of a sanitary force, each contractor being placed under heavy bonds. At the transfer station, the wastes are turned, over to a contractor, who will remove them to a point at least three miles distant from the reservation. There the wastes will be completely sorted. Bottles will be sterilized and sold for commercial use. Tin cans will be baled and the solder, tin and iron reclaimed. Paper, which is estimated about five tons per day, will be baled. Bones will be kept separate and ground for fertilizer. The hides of dead animals will be removed and the carcasses "reduced" for grease and fertilizer. The chief items of waste will be the garbage and the manure. It is estimated that there are 1,200 animals at each cantonment, producing 120 tons of manure per day. At the date of the report the manure from 11 cantonments had been sold for $240,900 annually. Big Saving Through Garbage. The greatest element of saving is through the garbage. This has been sold for an annual price of $446.394.57. The garbage from 13 of the cantonments will be used for feeding swine. It is estimated on the basis of experiments conducted at the Chillicothe cantonment, that the garbage waste from 10 to 15 men will feed one hog and enable it to add to its weight one pound per day. At this rate, the garbage from these 13 cantonments will produce 18,080,000 pounds of pork per year. When not used for feeding, the garbage will be "reduced," that is, cooked at high temperature, the grease extracted, and the remainder ground and used for fertilizer or feeds. By the method of incineration formerly in use, not only would all these valuable, waste materials have been destroyed, but it would have cost approximately $700,000 for the installation of incinerator plants and an annual charge of approximately $595,000 for their operation. When we add to this saving the amount annually received by the government from these wastes, the net saving the first year amounts to $1,707,840. The effect of this new plan, therefore, is not only to conserve large quantities of valuable food wastes, fertilizers, etc., but to turn into a large profit what has hitherto been a very considerable expense. Germans Decelve Chinese. New York.—German propagandists kept the Chinese from knowing the truth about the war for more than a year, said Dr. J. Preston Maxwell, head of the Yungchun Hospital of the English Presbyterian church, Amoy. "They were told that Paris had fallen," he said, "and that England had been invaded by a great army which had London in its grasp. "The climax was the announcement of the German peace terms. Overnight the walls of many places were placarded with these terms printed in Chinese characters. They were certainly wonderful terms with Germany, reeling all the best of it." DEATHS REPORTED.
