FRIDAY The Washington Bee ONE MEAL WHEATLESS USE NO BREAD, Crackers, BREAD OR BREAKFAST NOODS CONTAINING WHEAT --- VOL.!XXXIX. NO. 5 ATTORNEY PEYTON FOUNTAIN PEYTON, CHOICE OF THE PEOPLE. Fountain Peyton, attorney at law public spirited citizen, is a man all Washington delights to honor. He stands high at the District bar. He is popular with the national administration and his counsel is valued by the administration on matters affecting the well-being of the Negro people. He has just been reappointed to a position on the Board of Education, having won this distinction by giving gilt-edged service during the past three years for the development and advancement of the public school system of the District. He aims at the best results for the whole community, and doe not limit himself to the mere advantages that may accrue only to his own race; yet sees to it that the Negro shares in all the benefits that others enjoy. He is the people's servant and his second call to the board is a rare compliment to his breadth of vision, unfailing sagacity and alertness in protecting the interests of the young people in training for citizenship and safeguarding the welfare of the parents and teachers in no less degree of watchfulness and civic fidelity. Fountain Peyton is of the "plain people," and he is proud to be known as the special patron of the productive workers, whom Abraham Lincoln described as "the bone and sinew of the republic." A more popular reappointment has never been made. This was evidenced by the many floral tributes presented at the board meeting Monday, June 23rd. The teachers and citizens vied with each other in giving their testimony of approval of his reappointment. A massive basket from the teachers of the Tenth and Eleventh Divisions, another from Armstrong Manual Training High School, the Randall School, Payne School, Stevens School, Slater School, War Savings Stamp Committee, Walker Memorial Baptist Church, Contee A. M. E. Zion Church, Burrville, D. C.; Simpson Memorial M. E. Church, and Rehoboth Baptist Church, FRELINGHUYSEN UNIVER- The Frelinghuysen University, under the presidency of Prof. Jesse Lawson, is meeting every requirement, and its faculty is composed of some of the best educators in the United States. Its law department especially equals that of any other college of law. This department is under Prof. L. M. King. The graduates from this department were men who had been given degrees from other institutions, namely: John M. Langston School of Law—L. Melendez King, LL. M., dean—Samuel Daniel Frye, Benjamin Franklin Harris, De Witte Willeston Jones, John Anderson Lankword, B. S., M. M. S.; James Jasper Saulter. The graduating exercises this year compared favorably with those of any other university: TO THE COLORED PEOPLE OF AMERICA: Tuskegee, Ala., June 27.—The Government of the United States has set apart Friday, the 28th day of June, as "War Savings Stamp Day." This is an opportunity for every Negro man, woman and child to do his part in helping to win the great war along with the soldiers at the front. It is a call for all of us to serve our country by lending our money to the Government to be used for whatever is needed in winning the war. We are called upon to invest our savings with the Government with a promise not only of their return, but with a security and an added interest such as no bank can give. We are not asked to give our money to the Government, but we are asked to take our idle money which we have laid aside and put it to work at winning the war in which not only our money, but everything else that we hold dear, is at stake. This War Savings Day is also a call to save more money than we have been saving up to this time. To win the war it will be necessary for all Americans, black and white alike; to deny ourselves of many things which we have been enjoying. We must live as cheaply as we possibly can without injury to our health and efficiency, and whatever is saved in this way we are asked to invest in Savings Stamps and Baby Bonds for winning the war. Our people spend a great deal of money for articles of food and dress and for amusement that we can well afford to do without. Starting now to give up these unnecessary things will not only help our country, but help ourselves as well. By this means we will teach ourselves and our children habits of thrift, and at the same time show a practical loyalty to our country, which is the duty of every citizen in the land. Wages are everywhere higher than they have been before. This means that all of us will have some money which we can save. Parents can do nothing better for their children than to teach them to buy War Savings Stamps with as much enthusiasm and regularity as they buy toys and candy or go to the moving pictures. Pastors, teachers and community leaders generally will do a great service to their country by organizing our people for investing in Savings Stamps and Baby Bonds in a regular and systematic way. Every week should see the investment of a sum of money, large or small, by every man, woman and child among us. Our men have responded to the draft with a promptness and enthusiasm of which we may be justly proud but not all of us can join the army. The great majority of us must remain at home. It will be our part to support our men in the trenches with our money and with our labor in the same hearty and unselfish way in which they have offered their lives. The Man Who Has Made Good. Brooklyn, N. Y., June 24 Dr. James E. Shepard, president of the National Training School, Durham, N. C., after making a brief trip to New York and Brooklyn, has returned. Dr. Shepard's visit to this city was one of triumph and success. At the Concord Baptist, Church, where he filled the pulpit at both services Sunday, he was greeted by an audience of eleven hundred people. Dr. Shepard spoke first on the Bible as a source of comfort and strength to the believers, and at the next service on "Christian Education." Both subjects were handled in a masterly way and were eloquently delivered. The people heard this noted educator gladly, and were greatly benefited by his analysis and presentation of historical facts in support of his subject. As a result of Dr. Shepard's addresses on this occasion many of the young people have been encouraged and have renewed their determination to continue to completion their studies in high school and college. Another pleasing result of Dr. Shepard's address on "Christian Education" is a movement which was started here a few days ago to provide for two or more scholarships for deserving young men or women at the National Training School. The closing of the school free of debt, the improvement of the campus with cement walks and the addition of a social service course of study have attracted wide attention among educators, students and the general public. Special arrangements for persons who are studying for the ministry, Y., M. C. A. secretarial work or missions, whose time is limited, may be made on application. The next school year, which begins October 1st, promises to be the best and largest in the number of students of previous years. This is due in part to the improved equipment, able faculty and opportunity for self-help afforded by the school to thrifty students. Dr. Shepard will spend most of his time this summer at the school, working out plans for the future upbuilding of the institution. September he will make a tour of the North. He will deliver a series of educationi English Women guaranteeing next Year's Food Supply KENT COUNTY WOMEN PLoughing WITH TREATORS U.S. FOOD ADMINISTRATION On Monday evening, June 10, 1918, the C. E. Conference convened at the Y. M. C. A., as usual, and was called to order by President Jackson at 8 o'clock sharp. The following subjects were considered by the conference; (1) The summer work of Camp Pleasant; (2) The evangelistic work in the city and the annual Union C. E. outing. These questions were considered and passed upon by the conference. It was decided to give all the support that the conference could to this work and to have its annual Union C. E. outing August 17, 1918. After provisions had, been made for the above work, President Jackson appointed Mr. J. C. Moore as chairman of the Press Committee of the conference. Mr. Moore is a member of the Florida Avenue Baptist Church C. E. Society and has been connected with the conference for several years. Soon after, Mr. Moore's appointment he announced the names of the following persons who would constitute the new Press Committee: Miss Emma B. Hall, Miss Eliza B. Wheeler and Mr. Jesse J. Simms. One of the most interesting features of this meeting was a very timely speech delivered by Miss Emma B. Hall as to what constituted C. E. news. She handled this subject very masterly, indeed, and it was well received by the conference. Among some of the things that the speaker said were: "Facts for publication coming from a C. E. Society must be real news—something that has happened; reports that are readable and that have real value in them, that will increase the number on our C. E. rolls. Real news is the out of the ordinary happenings. The report of new work done, marked advancement made, new movements, special victories, etc., constitute real C. E. news. The C. E. Societies are hereby notified that all news for publication must be sent to the chairman of the Press Committee, whose address is 1809% Seventh Street N.W., Washington, D.C. PULLMAN EMPLOYEES HOLD GREAT MASS MEETING. Over Three Hundred Present at First Meeting Unanimously Vote to Organize. On Thursday evening, June 20th, the Pullman employees gathered at Civic League Hall, 184 West 135th street, New York City, subject to a call issued by Messrs. James C. Canegata, Charles H. Florney, Pullman employees, and C. W. McDougald, ex-assistant district attorney. The ready response which the men made to the call and the enthusiasm displayed, were all that could be expected. The hall was crowded to the very street long before the hour designating the call had arrived, and it was manifest upon the face of every man that he had come, with a purpose and was determined to carry out his mission. The spirit was everywhere manifest that the Pullman employees had come to the conclusion that they must, from now on, receive a living wage. The meeting was called to order by Mr. James C. Cauegata, one of the moving spirits of the movement, who introduced ex-Assistant District Attorney McDougald, the chairman of the evening. Mr. McDougald, within half an hour's address, set forth the purpose of the meeting; giving in forcible language the reasons why the Pullman employees should, like all other employees of the day, unionize, after which the Rev. George Fraizer Miller, pastor of St. Augustine's Episcopal Church of Brooklyn, N. Y., was presented, who made a strong appeal to the men to unionize. His address throughout was well timed and forcibly put. His evident love of his people and long experience in movements for their advancement were almost inexpressibly valuable to the men. Mr. Hubert H. Harrison, who is well known as a student of all problems of the day and who has been for many years a writer and public speaker, was at his best in speaking to the men and giving the reasons why they should unionize. In his imitable way Mr. Harrison traced the labor movement as affecting both the black and the white worker and the developments of and why it has been necessary for the worker to unionize in order to protect his labor, which he emphasized was the working man's ultimate aim to sell, for as a worker that was clearly his position, to sell his labor and to receive in return full value therefor. Mr. William Collins, general organizer of the American Federation of Labor, who was sent to represent that body, in an able address stated the attitude of the American Federation of Labor toward the colored worker, and declared in unmistakable terms that the Federation felt precisely the same toward the colored worker as it did toward the white, and it was up to the colored worker, just as it was up to the white worker, to affiliate with the Federation and better his condition. When Mr. Collins had finished his address, the chairman of the meeting announced that he would entertain a motion expressive of the will of the men on the question of their unionization and the motion was at once made that the men organize, which was enthusiastically and unanimously carried. Immediately the men proceeded to join and pay their initiation fee of $1 each, and 218 men at once joined and paid their initiation fee. But for the lateness of the hour it is almost certain that every man would have joined. So eager were the men to connect themselves with the union that they remained until after 2 o'clock to get an opportunity to register and pay their fee. The plan of the men is to undertake to organize the Pullman employees throughout the country, and Messrs. Canegata, Florney, and McDougall are now in communication with Pullman centers throughout the United States with a view to effect ing organizations. Definite plans are being shaped to have Mr. McDougall visit the different centers at the time of their organization, conveying the plan and spirit of the New York organization to the men in their district. THE COLORED SOLDIER. Out from the past, O Bondmanl You come with noiseless tread; Reminding us, the Freedmen, God reigns! He is not dead! He's here in the hush of the morning, Ere the hum of the world begins; He rests with us at night time, While lamps burn low and dim. The plains of Boston Common, Where Negroes fought so well, Remains a true reminder: There Crispus Attucks fell! Oh, years of toil and hatred, That spurred us on and on, Dear prayers—divinely answered— We'll chant the victor's song. Thru all your weary wanderings In warring 'gainst the foe, Dear hand—'twas to the black man, So guard your family door. Than they've ever been before. —Julia J. Jenkins. EDITOR JONES PREACHES. Editor Jones of the Southwestern Christian Advocate, delivered a most eloquent and logical sermon at the Asbury Church last Sunday morning, and Monday evening he delivered a lecture to a crowded house. He electrified his audience. Editor O. E. Smitherson, of Tulsa, Okla., is in the city attending the National Equal Rights Conference. Editor C. J. Perry of the Philadelphia Tribune, Editor Murphy of the Baltimore Afro-American, were in the city last week. These two veteran journalists are still in the limelight. Dr. R. R.

Love, editor of the Texas Freeman, a fearless advocate of the rights of colored Americans, visited The Bee office Saturday. Editor Love is known from one end of the State of Texas to the other. DESERVING TRIBUTE GEORGE E. HAMILTON Magnificent Tribute Paid the Presiding Officer at the Dunbar Commencement by Mr. Fountain Peyton. At the Dunbar High School commencement, Mr. Fountain Peyton paid a splendid tribute to Mr. George E Hamilton, of the Board of Education, in the following well-chosen words: Ladies and Gentlemen:—To my mind the meanest creature that ever crawled on the face of the earth is an ingrate. Just now we Americans feel that a German is the meanest thing that lives; but an ingrate is certainly more despicable than a German. We have with us tonight a big man who has done some big things for this community, and at least one big thing for the Negro race, and for that act we as a race should forever hold him in grateful remembrance. I have said that this man is a big man, and I mean what I say. He stands about six feet two, shoes off; he is square and broad and robust and strong; but do not understand me to mean that we should hold him in grateful remembrance because he is physically big. He is also a big man in the business world, for by his grasp on business methods, and business economics he has been chosen as the head of the most important and powerful corporation in the District of Columbia, the Capital Traction Company. He is also big professionally. By his profound learning in the law, his sterling integrity and his diligence to his professional duties, he holds the first place at the bar of the District of Columbia. I do not ask you to hold him in grateful remembrance for this. But he is big spiritually. He is too big to do a mean, narrow, little thing. He is so big and broad and robust and strong that he is germ-proof, against the influences of caste, class, creed or color. Passin gover his private charity and his public service on the Board of Charities, his deep solicitude for the welfare of our schools, I wish to bring to your attention the big thing he did for the Negro race, the thing for which-I do say we should forever hold him in grateful remembrance. You will remember some years ago a jim-crow car bill for the District of Columbia was favorably reported from committee and it was seriously feared that the same would become a law. When the danger was brought to the attention of this big man, like an armed knight with lance in hand he leaped into the breach and struck down this infamous peace of legislation. He told the traducers of the Negro race that for culture and orderly deportment the Negro citizenry of the District of Columbia had no superior on the face of the globe; he told them that the white and colored citizens of this District had lived together side by side for more than half a century in perfect peace and harmony, and that during all that time they had ridden in the same street cars side by side, and yet the center of gravity of the Washington Monument continues to fall squarely within its base. He told them point blank that he was in the fight to a finish, as he did not intend that his road should be disgraced by pulling abominable jim-crow cars over its tracks or that these deserving people should be unjustly humiliated, and he could have said that it was unfortunate that some gentlemen could advance no higher claims to a seat in Congress than their conspicuousness in that sort of unchristian business. It is needless to repeat that he defeated the bill. That map is the president of the Capital Traction Company, acting president of the Board of Education, and the presiding officer of this meeting—Mr. George E. Hamilton. SHE IS A JEWEL So writes an observer to The Bee concerning the popular druggist at the corner of Twenty-first and L Streets. N.W. Will he become a benedict? --- --- The Pageant of Democracy Triumph: Full Program of Rehearsals. The great Fourth of July Pageant is not a frolic. It is an opportunity for all races to voice their aspirations for liberty. It is a prophecy of freedom to all the world. Even Roumania and Servia, with all their sufferings and sorrow, are making every sacrifice to voice their ideals in beautiful concrete form. Everyone who takes part in the various actions' is having a part in history making. Besides the invaluable musical assistance in the great choruses the contribution of the colored people of the District to the pageant is a dramatic symbolic representation of the history of Liberia. "Liberia's participation in the world war by the side of her fostermother, America, is to be fittingly recognized in the pageant to be portrayed by the community centers of Washington on Independence Day. The history of Liberia is the story of a struggle for freedom and democratic institutions on the part of a band of liberty-loving descendants of those Africans whom the slave trade brought to America from their native home. Seeking conditions unobtainable at that time in America, these freed men founded the African Colonization Society, which undertook the pilgrimage back to their ancestral home, out of which there resulted the republic of Liberia. In spite of her isolation, and against great odds, this little African republic promptly allied herself in the war with the forces of democracy. The story portrays in five episodes the pagant of Liberia's progress from the early seventeenth century to the present. In episode one primitive ancestral life in West Africa is depicted. In the foreground a native hut is shown, with women at work and children at play nearby. Tom-toms call to worship, bringing an assemblage of villagers. A priestess and a group of attendants enter and perform a Mohammedan ritual. The episode ends in a tableaux of worship, which is interrupted (episode two) by a group of slave traders to whom the natives have been portrayed by Berbers. The traders, by barter, and finally by force, herd the natives off to nearby ships to be carried into slavery. An old seer, left behind, invokes a curse upon the disturbers of the peaceful life of his people. Episode three is the one scene laid in America. It pictures a group of slaves coming cotton-laden from the fields at the close of the day's picking. The older slaves, weary, group themselves to rest; the younger dance and frolic. At the entrance of overseers, the merriment subsides, and the group expresses themselves in plaintive song. This, too, is interrupted that the cotton may be weighed. Some baskets are accepted as containing sufficient for the day's picking; others are rejected. A weak, old slave is helped by a strong young woman who, when reproved for interfering, removes her handana, stands revealed as the priestess who had followed her people from their native land, and who now with her ancient authority, points out to them a way of escape from the land of their sorrow. While the advance guard of freedmen frame plans for colonization, the slaves, rising to her appeal, group about and sing their song of hope, "Rise, Shine, for Thy Light Is Come." Episode four portrays the early life of the pilgrims in the land of their fathers, where they are seeking the broader freedom they desired. Their new settlement they called Liberia—Land of Liberty, and they adopted a flag displaying the stripes of light and valor, with the single star of hope. We see their primitive stockade, with flag and cannon, outside of which African natives are peacefully trading with the Americo-Liberians. A group of less friendly natives, however, peer through the trees with hostile mien. Mathilda Newport, the national heroine of Liberia, who has been prophesied by the symbolical figure of the Priestess in the earlier actions, observes their intent. She freightens away the intruders by a heroic cannonade, for which service she is publicly honored by the president of the republic and the friendly chieftains. Episode five shows the Independence Day fete in the little republic. Early in the morning groups of natives arrive in the market place, displaying their wares before the assembling public. Later school children and students from the College of Liberia arrive on the scene for the reception of the chieftains, diplomats and officials. The chieftains, attended by groups of warriors, enter with native ceremonial; there then comes the presidential party, with guard of honor, led by the standard bearer and followed by diplomats and Liberian soldiers. There is a review and color salute, with ensemble tableaux about the flag, while the band plays "Ethiopia Saluting the Colors" and the chorus sings the national anthem. The story of Liberia is featured by the following community centers: River Garnet, Lovejoy, Birney, West Washington, Randall and Dunbar. Notices of Rehearsals for the Great Pageant.

Seek Dangerous Duty, Pershing Says, Denying German Story—Refutes Charge That Colored Troops Are Given More Hazardous Posts Than White. Formal denial of reports circulated in this country, presumably by German agents, that Negro soldiers with the American expeditionary forces are being given more dangerous work than the white troops was cabled to the War Department yesterday by General Pershing. The massage said the Negro troops were in high spirits and that their only complaint was that they were not given more active service. General Pershing said he could not "commend too highly the spirit shown among the colored combat troops, who exhibit fine capacity for quick training and eagerness for the most dangerous work. The general's cablegram, which was in reply to one of inquiry sent by Secretary Baker, said: "The stories, probably invented by German agents, that colored soldiers in France, are always placed in most dangerous positions and sacrificed to save white soldiers, that when wounded they are left on the ground to die without medical attention, etc., are absolutely false. "The following are the losses as reported up to June 18th in the four colored combatant regiments now in France: The 369th Infantry—Died of wounds, 3; of disease, 8; severely wounded, 2. The 370th Infantry—Died of wounds, none; died of disease, 3; severely wounded, none. The 371st Infantry—Died of wounds, none; died of disease, 8; severely wounded, none. The 372nd Infantry—Died of wounds, none; died of disease, 3; severely wounded, none. These figures show conclusively that Negro troops have not thus far occupied positions as dangerous as those occupied by white troops and that their physical condition is excellent. "A tour of inspection just completed among American Negro troops by officers of the training section of these headquarters show the comparatively high degree of training efficiency among these troops. Their training is identical with that of other American troops serving with the French army, the effort being to lead all American troops gradually to heavy combat duty by a preliminary service in trenches in quiet sectors. "Colored troops in trenches have been particularly fortunate, as one regiment had been there a month before any losses were suffered. This was almost unheard of on the western front." Tells of Fine Spirits. The exploits of two colored in- fantrymen some weeks ago in repelling a much larger German patrol, killing and wounding several Germans and winning the croix de guerre by their gallantry, has aroused a fine spirit of emulation throughout, the colored troops, all of whom are looking forward to more active service. Joseph H. Undertak Form 227 Corr Jose Chapel Service Fre HARRY A. BROWN One of the Oldest Inhabitants. Stands 38 and 39 O Street Market, Seventh & O Sts. "The only regret expressed by colored troops is that they are not given more dangerous work to do. They are especially amused at the most dangerous positions, and all are desirous of having more active service than has been permitted them thus far. I cannot commend too highly the spirit shown among the colored combat troops, who exhibit fine capacity for quick training and eagerness for the most dangerous work."

It is dangerous to delay longér a careful consideration of that-school’s future. : : Se “. Naturally, Dunbar High, with its big, magnificent, modern equipped building, appeals. to the average student ready to enter high’ school: ‘Then, too, the frequent changes in principals of. Armstrong, some of whom; at.heart, perhaps because of training, ‘were. not in fullest sym- pathy .with Armstrong’s aims, has affected the school’s enrollment.” It might not ‘be a bad ‘thing to co-ordinate the two schools under one principal, affording to the“students at Armstrong the modern conven- iences at Dunbar, which is but.a block away. : eo We hope Prof. Woodson, the recently appointed new principal, will prove a success, In his hands lies the building up or the further less- ening of proper interest in the school. If he shows the proper enthusi- asm, and sets about to develop co-operation and enthusiasm ‘among Armstrong’s teachers, rather than considering plans. for the élimination of teachers, without first being sure they do not fit in with Armstrong’s scheme of education, tie will help the school. On. the other’ hand, shoyld he, "before he is fairly initiated in the work, attempt reorganiza- tion of the. teaching force there, lie will work: disaster for Armstrong. We préfer to see Prof. Woodson’ succeed rather than. fail, for schools like Armstrong are now. more in urgent need than ever. "The war has increased their importance. :. . aia LOOK NEAR. When over. twenty years. age Booker Washington, in his famou: Atlanta speech that gave him na tional fame, employed the. happy analogy, “Lét down’ your: buckets where -you are,” he uttered 2 sound philosophy. -A famous for. eign poet, in language that-cannot be tersely translated, wrote in sub- stance: .. “Will you” always _ be longing. for. something in distance when opportrnity lies near you?” Learn only, to seize what is+good, then the good is always present. ? Few social fabrics :.or institu- tions were’ ever planned and set in motion as something ‘entirely new. Maybe there have been a few such Utopias, but nearly all: of- them have failed. Practically’ all social customs, and iristitutions are .sim- ply continuations .of. previously ex- isting ones. ‘The best that can be done is to improve. what now ex- ists. ‘This is opportunity, andthe only opportunity. — i . The oppértunity of’ the -colored ‘man in America consists in the materials and agencies. now at hand, that, lie all around him. He must learn to seize.them,. utilize ther, make the most of: them. - The ‘great cry of the colored man today is industrial and com- ‘mercial opporturiity.

It looks as if the pres- ent war will mark an’ advance in all forms of toleration opposed to senseless prejudice. 5 * ” The distresses. of men often give them a new point of view, obliter- até prejudice, tie cords of love— and these.are -some incidents of toleration, 5 One result of the’ war will probably be'to advance the colored 1aces along political and. economic lines, because it will bring more toleration: 4 ; -OUR BOYS’ OVER THERE. More frequently than formerly news. concerning the: performances of our colored troops -in France is filtering through. There is every evidence that: they. are carrying themselves nobly, ‘as true soldiers should, ‘In modern-warfare there is not so, frequent dpportunity as formerly for whole units of troops, companies ‘or regiments, specially to. distinguish themselves; becaus¢ each unit is a part of one: vast ma~ chine. and performs its assigned part. ° But opportunities for indi- vidual heroism are frequently not wanting, and there have been not a few instances where the French commanders ‘lave bestowed, on colored soldiers the order: and dec- oration of merit for distinguished valor. Two of.the latest instances were in the cases of the 15th New York Regiment‘ (colored) who, unaided, .put a large body of the enemy to flight, killing and wound- ing a number of:them. _ . Secretary Daniels, in a speech at Albany the other day, made special mention of these two, colored sol- diers, when ‘he took occasion to say: “There has been question about the loyalty of some classes of our. citizens, but the loyalty of the colored: man has never -been ‘questioned. .

He asked one of the guards whether ‘it, was custdémary for such feW guards to’ be in: charge of .so many men. ‘The guard:replied in the affirmative. = The gentleman ‘then asked him, “Do, you not know that’ if ‘these men were to organize they could easily overpower the guards and get away?” ‘ “That is true” replied the guard; “but lunatics-do not organ- ize.” s . OUR LEADERSHIP.: .. Colored leadership is selfish, peevish and ‘uncertain. . Men, col- ored men, who’ are appointed td ‘positions to represent their péople, should be careful and_not select as their associates men who: are prej- udiced or have selfish feelings against. those ‘they’ dislike. Men who have once been placed in the front ranks and arrogate to them- selves the representatives of their people, more .or less, have old scores to settle, and they generally wait for some social. function to be given to settle such scores. Because some men have a gift of “gab” is no evidence that they. are suitable subjects : for toast- masters or presidirig officers. Many misfits are put in. places that monkeys can fill better. ‘TWO CONFERENCES. Within. the past’ °two weeks there have: been’ held in this city two conferences.

A Play That Has Proven a Reat Ee cae Dramatic Sensation. ‘ | No’ play of recent years. has causéd as much talk or created the favorable. ‘comment as has “The ‘Blindness: of Virtue,” which. will be an offering for the week of June 24th at the Howard Theatre. Written by Cosco Hamilton, a well known English playwright, this play was produced in New York city with its original English company lonly a Season ago, and met with;the _heartiest indorsement of the-eminént ctitics, playing. during its long run ;f0 a continued series of crowded | houses. ‘ | Written on a theme that is abso- ilutely crying for discussion, it proved fa real dramatié. sensation. It is a ‘strong, gripping; -vital drama, founded on‘a subpect that-is now being de- ‘bated in every house. throughout the ‘more civilized and enlightened world. “The Blindness of - Virtue” is, in fact, a, powerful indictment against the modern fashion of reating chil- dren in ignorance of such: conditions as will fortify them to combat with the evils and vices ‘of the world. It tells a story in a most interesting and convincing: manner of the daughter of a rector of a small: parish near London. . A young man who has been dismissed: from both Eton and Ox- ford Universities, and regarded with, despair by, his father, is sent to study with the vicar as a ‘final-resort. ‘The youth and the daughter of the vicar fall in love with cach other. The girl,. not’ understanding> certain in- ward impulses, throws herself into ‘a compromising situation with the stud- ent!’ ‘The rector appears and at once falsely accuses the. young man. When the daughter innocently demands ‘to know the meaning: of the accusation, the father sees, what might have been the result through his daughter's ignorance, ‘and: begins to. understand that the blame for the whole affair rests on himself and wife. | Mr. Hamilton has written jnto ‘the, play, a number of ‘brilliant comedy| scenes as well as startling Se situations. ‘ “The Blindnéss of Virtue”.has re- ceived the indorsement of some of the leading clergy and laymen in this country and in England, -where. it was ‘first’ produced. It was praised by critics as being more effective than many a sermon.preached, There i$ absolutely nothing to the play that could offend the: most fastidious, and it should not be confounded with any, of the so-called “white slave” dramas of recent origin. It is just the sort of play that will: create discussion, but there will be none but who will ugree that dramas of this caliber will lo an immeasurable amount of good. Every mother and father stiould ‘see et. ° < All the favorite members’ of the company will be cast effectively, and an especial effort is being made to make the production ever more ela- borate than éither of the others seen at this theater. . Seats for the entire week are on sale, and as “The Blindness of Vir- ue” always attracts large audiénces wherever ‘it is seen, it will be well 0 secure your tickets well™in ad- vances 5 8 2 RACE DISCRIMINATION. . Fighting the Colored Man's Cause. A Great Organization Doing ° Great Work. The National: Association for -the Adyancement of Colored People, through its secretary, John R. Shil- lady ‘of New York, announces that it haé protested to Governor Phillips of Wisconsin against the exclusion of colored people suffering from ‘tu- bereulosis from the. Wisconsin State Tuberculosis Sanatorium, . Statesan, Wisconsin. The association directs the. governor's attention to the fact that application blanks issued by the State Tuperculosis Sanatorium and sent broadcast to all physicians of thé ‘state, in¢lude an announcement of the superintendent that the insti- tution has no provision for colored people. . : Mr. Shillady statés that Dr. R. L. Williams, Superintendent of the Wis- consin State Tuberculosis Sana- torium, ‘replying to a letter of in- quiry addressed to him by the Ad- vancement Association as to reaso7s oi a Sa ea EN ea RE BOT ae ° | pa . oe BOARD'S DRUG STORE have come to realize that’ —situated at 191214. 14th St. N. W., has always enjoyed a certain distinc- tion and advantage in being the only colored drug store on. this popular thoroughfare. Since its ° establish- ment in.1905 by Board & McGuire this store -has enjoyed ‘a. period of over twelve years of uninterrupted success, being well patronized by persons ‘of both races, and enjoying the confidence of a large clientele of the best physicians in Washington. 'Phis confidence of physicians and the public has been won and main- tained ‘by strict adherence to sound business principles—honesty and fair dealing—giving ‘to the physician just what his préstription called for, com- pounded with accuracy and integrity from absolutely pure and reliable drugs, by registered pharmacists, and giving the public full value for its money in reliable‘ and well-selected goods of the right quality, rightly priced. Quality has ever. been the watch- word of this store, and the wisdom 6f this stand has been fully justified by the public’s support. Most people for the exclusion of colored people gave as.a reason that colored people have, an offensive. hody odor which made their treatment with white per- sons inadvisable. .Mr. Shillady_ fur- ther states that Dr. Williams advised against insisting upon the admission of colored peenle to his institution, but asked the’ ‘he association: urge that’ provision - made’ for colored patients elsewhee: ‘The assqciation directs the gover- nor’s attention to the fact that col- ored people ate citizens and taxpay- ers ‘of Wisconsin and are entitled equally. to the benefits of ‘public in- stitutions provided by public funds. Mr. Shillady.contends that their ex- clusion from the State Tubercuiosis Sanatorium is entirely unjustified that’ the Advancement Association has put the matter square up to the governor for correction. The Na- tional Association for the “Advance- ment of Colored People is an or- ganization of white and colored peo- ple, with branches in about 120 cities of the country. It has a paid mem- bership of | 32,000. There ‘are .no branches in Wisconsin at present, but the. association intends to organize Wisconsin branches. ote NOTIFICATION.

[Image of a man in a suit with a tie]. John P. Atkinson, Chairman. J. H. Shepard, Lloyd Stewart, Surphrane Payne, Arthur F. Boston, William J. Smith, THE BIRTH OF A NATION Barred By the State of West Virginia. Charleston, W. Va., June 22. The Executive State Council of Defense Wednesday placed a ban on the exhibition of "The Birth of a Nation" and all similar plays in this state during the period of the war. The action of the state council came as a sequel to the passage of a resolution by the McDowell County Auxiliary Council of Defense protesting against the showing of "The Birth of a Nation." The McDowell County Council, composed of colored citizens of that county, and one of the units of the State Auxiliary Advisory Council, of which J. C. Gilmer is secretary, set forth that the attraction is one "calculated to arouse hatred and prejudice between the white and Negro races of the state, and likely to hinder and retard the proper co-operation between the races in promoting the greatest efficiency in war work of all kinds." The order recites that the Negrbes of West Virginia have been loyal and patriotic and have cheerfully responded to all demands for activities in the work of national defense; that the Auxiliary Advisory Council and the State Council of Defense, have been working together in complete harmony, and that "through and by the exhibition of "The Birth of a Nation" in this state results are likely to be produced, which will materially prevent the two races from working together in harmony and from bringing about the best results in the several lines of war work.

Washington, D. C. SAVVORING SERMONS BY UNUS "And he played on a harp of a thousand strings." My purpose is to take, up separately the main classes of fallacies and give examples of them, but before doing that I wish to add a few more general observations on the nature of fallacies and where they are most likely to be met. I advise any reader specially interested in the subject to preserve for a time those articles in The Bee on Proof, particularly the one of June 1, 1918, containing the Rules of the Syllogism. Those rules can also be found in any elementary work on Logic, or in the article on Logic in the Encyclopedia Britannica. The greatest danger in reasoning is the likelihood to deceive ourselves. Sophisms, in sophistry, are now of rarer occurrence than in former days; besides, one who wishes to deceive can do so more easily and effectively by false statements than by false reason. It requires no special ability to do the former; it takes a sharp mind to do the latter. It is not so difficult to reason logically from wrong premises, but it is difficult to weave invalid but apparently sound arguments while knowing them to be false. Formerly it was otherwise among the "educated" classes; the great use of disputation by the ancient sophists and schoolmen, as a logical exercise and a means of supposed education, tended to create a special art of sophistry, and has left on record a multitude of logical puzzles for the amusement of later times. Dexterity in framing and solving sophisms was reckoned a scholarly accomplishment, and one of the special fruits of a university education. Nowadays this species of mental gymnastics has fallen into entire disrepute among sensible people. Sensible men now prefer to sharpen their wits on graver matters and subjects of more immediate interest. A fallacy is that incomplete or apparent argument which affirms or denies contrary to the truth. Where it is a formal or logical fallacy it is always a violation of some rule of the syllogism. It is either an apparent syllogism or an enthymeme, chiefly the latter. We have already noticed the enthymeme, which is an abbreviated syllogism containing the word "because" or some equivalent connective. The enthymeme is the chief atmosphere of the fallacy. Out of a thousand fallacies probably all but one will be found in an enthymeme, because the enthymeme is the typical form of argument. When taining a fallacy along with its seductive "because," it should be reduced to the form of the syllogism and subjected to the test of the rules of the latter, and it is not likely that the fallacy will remain undetected. In other words, the enthymeme tolerates the existence of a fallacy; the syllogism does not. I give below the same fallacious argument, first in the form of an enthymeme and next in the form of a syllogism. I think it will be admitted that it is not so readily detected in the shorter form. Enthymeme: This is a good man, because he supports his children. Syllogism: All good men support their children; this man supports his children; therefore, this is a good man. It is hardly necessary to say that many robbers and cut-throats support their children. This syllogism is evidently not a legitimate form of reasoning. To make it legitimate in form we would have to reconstruct it thus: All who support their children are good. This man supports his children; therefore, this man is good. But evidently the major premise here is not true. So we must conclude that the argument in the enthymeme is fallacious. (To be continued.) QUICK RESPONSE Of the National Colored Soldiers Committee to the Appeal of a Sorrowing Mother for Aid. If the colored people of Washington only knew fully the great work the National Colored Soldiers' Comfort Committee is doing, it is believed there woold be no doubt but that they would respond nobly to its appeal for contributions to carry on its relief work among needy depend- ents of colored soldiers. Every week records helpful relief work this beneficient organization is doing. Last Saturday, on receiving advice that Mrs. Henderson of Dayton, Ohio, the sorowing widowed mother of Joseph Henderson, the first Ohio colored soldier to die in action, and who was a member of the Dayton company of the Ninth Ohio Battalion, now the 372d Regiment, was in urgent need of funds with which to pay her house rent, insurance, and installment on her furniture in her little home, the committee promptly dispatched her a substantial sum to take care of her immediate needs. Contributions to needy dependents of the race made by the committee are never in the form of loans, but an outright gratuitous gift for relief. Many cities and towns have already responded nobly to the committee's appeal for funds, and many others are now at work making a drive for funds. One well known lady remarked the other day that "we who are safe and snug here at home owe it as a secret duty to the brave colored soldiers who are fighting and dying over in France to give us over here a new freedom, to work here at home to raise funds to provide relief for their needy dependents." While many of the humble of the race—those whose names we seldom see in print, have responded, and are responding nobly, there is a regrettable absence of the names of many so-called prominent race men and women who have not responded to the committee's appeal for contributions. This organization is of the race and for the race, and no relief organization is so economically managed. NEW PRINCIPAL FOR ARMSTRONG SCHOOL. Last week Prof. Carter Woodson, teacher a: the Normal School, was elevated to the principalship of the Armstrong Manual Training School. His appointment had been under consideration, it is said, for some weeks, but he preferred appointment to a supervisorship than principalship. It is also reorted that Prof. Woodson desired, if he acceded the principalship, to have carte blanche in the matter of retaining or eliminating such teachers at Armstrong as he deemed not suited for co-operation with him. Whether or not this desire, if correctly reported, was granted, is not known. The impression is, however, that the superintendent, co-operating with the Board of Education, will continue to have the last say in the assignment, appointment and transfer of teachers in all buildings. Mr. Vaughn, the retiring principal of Armstrong, has been desirous for some time of being relieved of the principalship. CHURCH NOTICE Elder G. P. Rodgers, pastor at Sixth and N Streets N.

A big crowd is expected, so come on time to get a good seat. Rev. Moses Lake, Pastor. Rev. I. L. Thomas, Dist. Supt. ARKANSAS MAN Largest Individual Contributor. Chester E. Bush, of Little Rock, Ark., Secretary-Treasurer of the Mosaic Templars of the World, is to date the largest individual contributor to the fund being raised by the National Colored Soldiers' Comfort Committee for the relief of needy dependents of colored soldiers. Mr. Bush sent his check this week for one hundred dollars to the committee. Mr. Bush is of that number of colored men who, when race interests and race betterment and relief is at stake, does very little talking, but is mighty in deeds. It was largely through him that the great organization at which he is at the head, presented Secretary McAdoo, when he was in Little Rock, a subscription for fifty thousand dollars for Liberty. Bonds. It's deeds, not words, with those colored Arkansans. INTERESTING EXERCISES Gathering of a Distinguished Audience. Eloquent Addresses.

There are so many so-called hairgrowers on the market, a large number of which are nothing more than perfumed grease, it is no wonder people get discouraged and lose faith in all hair tonics. In deciding what to use on your scalp be sure and get a remedy of proven merit. Seeby's Quinade is a highly medicated pomade that has stood the test of time. It is a real scalp food; it stimulates and nourishes the roots of the hair, causing a natural growth of long hair. Quinade is the invention of an expert chemist and is made under the supervision of an experienced registered pharmacist. It makes the hair soft and smooth and easy to put up in the style desired. To get best results from the use of Quinade, it is necessary to shampoo the scalp about every two weeks with Seeby's Quinasoap. Quinasoap is made entirely out of pure vegetable oils; principally cocoanut oil, and is a thorough cleanser. Quinasoap lathers very freely. It leaves the hair soft and fluffy and imparts a refreshing feeling to the scalp unequaled by any other shampoo. Do not accept any substitute, but insist on getting Seeby's Quinade and Seeby's Ointment, asking for them by the full name. Price is 25 cents each. If your druggist or dealer does not stock these two articles, ask him to obtain them for you from his wholesaler or send us the price and we will mail them to you. Write to Seeby Drug Co., 79 East 130th St., New York City, for a sample of Quinade, mentioning the name of this paper. PEOPLE'S DRUG STORES.

But-to us who have known the true worth of a kind, loving, self-sacrificing mother, every day is Mother's Day. All through life's uneven journey, "from the cradle to the grave." There is a name that should be sacred to the strong, the weak, the brave; Sweeter than all earthly titles, yes, by far than any other, Is the name of that dear angel, that dear kind and faithful Mother. Oh, the depth of love, the patience, the unceasing, tender care, The unselfish, true devotion, the unswerving faith so rare, That misfortines, time nor distance, nor adversity can smother— All of these but bring you closer to that dear, true-hearted Mother. In the world of strife and turmoil, as you fight life's battle through, The times you may forget it Tho' at times you may forget it, there's a mother's prayer for you: The whole wide world may turn you down, your father, sister, brother, You'll always find one Faithful Friend—twill be your own Dear Mother. —James Conway Jackson.

REV. PAIR Sunday, June 16th, Rev. J. D. Pair was installed as pastor of the Baptist Church at Bristow, Va. A large congregation of people gathered to witness the special service. HOWARD THEATER. A sermon from the theatrical stage was presented at the Howard Theater 'last week in "The Divorce Question." The sad consequences of separation and the children of divorced couples, going astray was brought out in a very striking manner. In this play two children of a divorced couple are put out in the family of a stranger, and, being unable to bear the sight of love for children of the household, and deprived of it for themselves, they run away. Bearing unspeakable hardships, they are finally separated, one to become the mistress of a barroom keeper from whom she is rescued by her brother, who murders one of the toughs. Seeking an asylum in a church, they are brought into the presence of their parents, but neither is willing to take the uneducated and unrefined ones into their home. The girl, already weak, dies of a broken heart, and the boy, overcome with grief, denounces the whole social fabric, and winds up in the hands of the police as a murderer. The work of Walter Thompson is the outstanding feature of the play, and his emotional acting is a revelation to those who have seen him as a comedian, except as the son in Madam X. The denunciation of his parents and his sad plight as a dope-field was truly pathetic. Sidney Kirkpatrick as the priest gives a good account of himself; his bearing and commanding figure, together with his good judgment of the requirements of the part tend to make his character work above criticism. The Irish character is very well done, and brings out the usual Irish type as well as the Irish humor. Miss Buford gives a pretty and at the same time an amusing picture of the love-sick, yet obstinate couple. The other characters fill their roles acceptably, and the play might be seen by all with benefit.
