14 Articles For Home DEMOCRACY What Does the Negro Want or affairs in the community, state or Expect? county of which they are a part. VOL. XXXIX. NO. 24 14 A Fourteen Specific A Democracy What Does the Negro Want or Expect? (A question asked by a white man at a very important meeting in New York and answered by John R. Hawkins of Washington, D. C.) The general War-time Commission of the Federal Council of Churches of America, has created a committee on "The Welfare of Negro Troops." At a meeting of this committee in New York on Monday, November 5, 1918, very interesting reports were made by those who have been delegated to make a survey of the conditions existing in and around the camps where Negro troops are quartered, and plans were discussed for extending the survey even to France. Several important questions pertaining to the work of Negro troops and their treatment were frankly discussed, and a sub-committee was appointed to report the work of this committee to the proper authorities of the War Department. One of the most important features of the meeting was presented in the form of a general statement, sent to the committee by a representative of one of the most important agencies in connection with the war activities. This representative thought it well to call the attention of the committee to certain matters bearing on the relationship between the white and colored races in certain sections, and to get some expression as to what is best to be done in the interest of all concerned. The author of the statement, a white man, whose name was withheld, set out: First. That there was a manifest feeling of unrest among both white and colored people in his district—a thickly populated section of one of the Southern States. Second. That there seemed to be a growing feeling of mistrust toward the white people, on the part of the colored people. Third. That the white people were keenly interested to know as to what the colored people were thinking about; and somewhat disturbed over the fact that there was a seeming disposition on the part of the colored people to keep the whites "in the dark" as to their thoughts. Fourth. That Negro preachers and speakers were encouraging their people to expect a new adjustment of things under the application of the principles of democracy. It was generally admitted that this particular statement was a fair summary of the situation or conditions existing very generally throughout the South, and the matter assumed definite shape in the form of the question at the head of this article—What does the Negro want or expect? I cannot, and do not claim the authority to speak for the twelve millions or more Negroes in America; but as one of them, I beg to submit the following in answer to the above question. For the sake of convenience and directness, let us follow the style of President Wilson and reduce our reasoning to what may be termed fourteen specific articles as a basis of democracy at home: I—Universal Suffrage. The Negro wants the right to vote and the privilege of exercising this right in casting his ballot; because he knows this to be one of the fundamental rights of the citizens of a republic; and that any set of people who are denied the privilege of exercising this right will be rendered powerless in helping to shape civic affairs in the community, state or county of which they are a part. Let the South be fair and apply the standard of elective franchise to white and colored alike, and the first step will be taken toward removing the Negro's feeling of mistrust. II.—Better Educational Facilities in the South for Negroes. The Negro wants this because he recognizes education as the lever by which a people are lifted up. He is capable of receiving it, is anxious for it, and needs it to help make him a better citizen. He meets every requirement in the way of taxation, for the establishment and maintenance of all classes of institutions. To give to the white youths the privileges and advantages of these institutions and deny them to colored youths, naturally makes the Negro dissatisfied. When the South provides the same class of technical, high school, college, university, and, too, military training out of state funds for colored youths, as is done for the whites, then another barrier to our progress and mutual feeling of helpfulness will be removed. III—The Abolishment of the So-called Jim-Crow Car System. Nothing has served to estrange the races in the South and create feelings of bitterness so much as the iniquitous "Jim-Crow" cars. Even though the statutes of the Southern states call for "separate but equal accommodations for white and colored passengers," there is not a road in the South that lives up to the law. No difference whatever is made in the price of tickets, but all kinds of unjust and unfair differences are made as to accommodations and treatment. Negro passengers are often subjected to the most degrading, and humiliating treatment imaginable. The privileges of sleeping cars and dining cars are thrown open to white passengers, but persistently denied to colored passengers. Under the system of first and second class fares a better distinction could be made and less friction and bad feeling engendered. IV.—Discontinuance of Unjust Discriminatory Regulations and Segregation in the Various Departments of the Government. In a republic like ours a premium should be placed on efficiency and faithfulness to duty. This is not the case with us; as this rule or principle is ignored when it comes to colored persons serving in the various governmental departments. They are subjected to humiliating conditions and discriminations; denied the benefits of promotion in line of efficient service. They have been refused assignment to work even after passing the required civil service examination, certified to and sent on for appointment with the highest rating on the eligible list. In many cases colored persons have been notified of appointment, and on written or telegraphic orders come to Washington and "reported for duty at a given salary named, and on appearing at the said department or bureau, have been turned away with the flimsy excuse that "some mistake has been made somewhere." The Negroes feel warranted in construing such acts as breach of trust; the abrogation of a contract; or at least a violation of the code of ethics and a gentleman's agreement, and the result is an impairment of faith in the sense of honor and fairness on the part of the offenders. 1910 Fourteen Special Articles as a Basis of Democracy at Home. What the Colored Americans Want and What they Exprct Colored Youths As for White. While we do not believe in anything like Prussian militarism, we do believe in preparedness against invasion and oppression from enemies. This makes it necessary to maintain our army and navy. This means military training of a certain and well regulated standard, provided for and given in government institutions, or under the direction of the government. Thih should be applied to white and colored youths alike. This is not the case now, as colored youths are denied admittance to our war and naval colleges. A most singular method of reasoning. Deny one the opportunity of a special training to fit him for certain duties and then charge him with being incapable of performance. But prejudice never stops to reason. VI.—The Removal of An Imaginary Dead Line in the Recognition of It is not fair to the spirit of valor and patriotism to refuse or withhold promotions to higher ranks from colored soldiers who have shown their valor on the battle field, stood every test and proven their ability to train, lead and command others, by a strict adherence to the rule of obedience and faithfulness to duty. VII.—Removal of Peonage System in the South. In certain sections of the South colored people are subjected to labor conditions very little removed from slavery. Advantage is taken of their ignorance and hardships are imposed to the point of suffering. They are in many cases powerless to prevent such or to defend themselves against it; and they feel that their only deliverance is to leave the South. This is against the natural tendency and wishes of many who love their native heath and the memories of loved ones. VIII.—An Economic Wage Scale to Be Applied to White and Colored Alike. The Negro's record as a good workman is generally conceded. He is willing and anxious to engage in all kinds of labor, both skilled and unskilled, but there is too much difference made in the scale of wages paid to white persons performing the same class of work. The cost of living is just as high for one as the other, and a proper recognition of this fact and an economic wage scale that has no color line will go labor. IX—Better Housing Conditions for Colored Employees in Industrial Plants. One of the things that contributes to the spirit of restlessness and dissatisfaction among Negroes is the utter disregard of the necessity of encouraging better home life for the laboring classes. This is particularly true of those who live in what is known as "quarters" on large plantations. The day has passed for the shack or one-room shanty. The people want homes provided with some degree of comfort, convenience, and, too, beauty. They are being taught the virtue of these things; to have aspirations for them; and the withholding of them simply makes them feel that there is no use no hope. X—Better Sanitary Conditions in It is a common complaint that in too many cases the municipal authorities pay very little attention to having proper sanitary facilities in sections where the majority of residents are colored people; thus fostering troubles and public nuisances which could be averted if more reasonable a long way in helping to dignify consideration were shown for the interests of all the people. XI.—Reforms in the Penal Institutions of the South. We do not condone crime, nor do we ask that it be winked at or excused, but we do expect a fair and impartial administration of the law. In too many cases young colored boys, and, too, colored girls, whose first offense is some petty misdemeanor, are sent to prison for long terms and placed with hardened criminals under such conditions as make it hard for them to reform. While for like offenses white youths are placed in some well regulated reformatory and given a chance to out- A Protest by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People By the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. John R. Shillady's Timely Letter. The National Association for the Advancement of. Colored. People, through its secretary, John R. Shillady of New York, makes public telegrams of protest against applying compulsory work laws to women as contained in an advertisement of the Memphis War Work Committee, Memphis, Tenn., and against the assumption by that committee of United States government approval of conscripting the labor of Negro women which were sent by the Association to the Memphis War Work Committee, to the Mayor of Memphis, to Secretary William B. Wilson of the United States Department of Labor, and a reply to the Memphis War Work Committee to the Association's telegram of October 28. The telegrams follow: October 28, 1918. Memphis War Work Committee. Memphis, Tenn. Memphis papers of October 24th carry display advertising of Memphis War Work Committee, appointed by Cotton Exchange, Merchants' Exchange, Chamber of Commerce, Lumbermen's Club and Employers' Association, warning able-bodied men and women, white and colored, to secure employment without delay and work, constantly six days each week; further, that city authorities are now passing an ordinance requiring persons between eighteen and sixty years of age to work at least six days a week; and, further, that your committee speaks in the name of the government, which, in common language, means the government of the United States. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People: composed of representatives of both races, with one hundred and forty-five branches and forty thousand members, respectfully requests you to specify any law of the United States that permits you to threaten with penalties any woman who is not engaged at labor with an employer a full six days per week. From recent conferences with the United States Department of Labor authorities at Washington we know that no authority to force women to work for employers has been granted by live the mistake and become useful citizens. In matters of this kind white and colored should be treated alike, both from a humane standpoint and as a matter of justice. XII.—A Fair and Impartial Trial By Jury Instead of Lynching. No people are safe in a community where mob violence is tolerated. Violators of law should be punished, but by due process of law. The lynching spirit has become so strong in some sections that it borders on a disregard for all law, order and decency. Innocent people are often the victims of the mob, and the peace and well being of the entire community is seriously affected thereby. XIII.—Recognition of the Negro's Juries. The jury system is one of the fundamental principles of our government, and the privilege to exercise this right should be extended to capable citizens without regard to the United States government. We are bringing this matter to their attention today. We most emphatically protest against the application of compulsory work laws to women. Should such laws, nevertheless, be passed and upheld as constitutional by the courts, we would then call upon your committee to see that their enforcement is applied equally and without discrimination to both white and colored women. We would further ask whether it is the intention of your committee to advocate and endeavor to have enacted by the Commissioners of Memphis laws forcing women to drive coal wagons, load and unload coal, act as bootblacks in barber shops, and as bath attendants for men. Memphis papers speak of colored women being employed in these capacities. (Signed) John R. Shillady, Sec., National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. October 28, 1918. Hon. Wm. B. Wilson, Memphas, Tennessee, papers of 24th carry prominent display advertising in name of Memphis War Work Committee, headed, "Warning," from which we quote the following: "This committee now urges every able-bodied man and woman, white and colored, to secure employment without delay and work constantly six days each week. The government demands it. This committee has taken up the work for the government and speaks in the name of the government when it asks for the co-operation of the general public, whether employer or employee." Matter quoted is not continuous, but is accurate. Tenor of advertisement gives clear impression that the committee speaks for the government, which naturally means the Labor Department. National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, with 145 active branches in 38 states, emphatically protests against use of United States authority to uphold outrageous attempt to conscript labor of women: No compulsory work laws passed by any state has included women, although we have record of one small Georgia town passing compulsory work laws applied to women. Advertisement follows mail. National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, John R. Shillady, Secretary. XIV.—Fair Play. Just as the Negroe has been among the first to give his best, his all, on the altar of his country in every struggle for the defence of its flag, so he wants and expects equal opportunity to serve in the development of his country and the full enjoyment of the fruits thereof. This he regards as but a proper, liberal and reasonable interpretation of what is guaranteed to him by the Constitution under which he lives, and to uphold which he sacredly dedicates his all. In submitting the above, I do not know how well I have interpreted the feeling of the Negroes of this country, and shall be interested to have comment and criticism from any source whatever. Of one thing I am assured: It is a hopeful sign when a white man, speaking for his people, will admit PUBLIC MEN AND THINGS. (By the Sage of the Potomac.) No matter how high John W. Lewis goes, he never forgets his church. Now, if you drop into the Metropolitan Baptist Church almost any Sunday morning you will see President John W. Lewis holding the honorable position of usher. He is polite and dignified in his bearing. He is not too big to usher the church coming people to a seat Now, speaking of John W. Lewis, I must admit that his conduct and enterprise throw him in the limelight. His very competent cashier, W. E. Bowie has turned the cash of the bank over to Miss Effie M. Middleton while he took a two weeks' trip to New York. The fastidious cashier will make daily visits to the Hippodrome, to the Art Museum and other distinguished places. You can just bet a pair of ladies' garters to silk hose that the female cashier will he right on the job, and when the real cashier returns the books will balance according to Hoyle. Thomas Jesse Jones is in France, and before he returns he will have compiled his second edition on colored education in the South. The real book on colored schools in the United States will be compiled by the Durham Commission. It is a real book on colored education or colored schools in the United States. It will make Thomas Jesse Jones set up and take notice, and when Commissioner Claxton reads it he will no doubt substitute it for apology of one that is now in existence, especially the part referring to colored schools and colored educators. I was discussing leadership with my good friend J. C. Cunningham a few weeks ago. Bro. Cunningham asserted that we have no leaders. He certainly pays his respects to colored preachers. He thinks that many of them are impediments to our civilization. They don't know what leadership is, remarked the progressive writer of the midnight quill drivers. Bro. Cunningham says some good things some times. The greatest mistake the colored Masons made was the defeat of Prof. N. E. Weatherless for grand master. You certainly did know that the Masons were on the map when he was grand master. They have not only lost a grand master in deed and in fact, but they have lost a Mason who would have been a monument to the organization. It was the greatest blunder the organization has ever made. Prof. Weatherless is not only an educator, but he is a practical all-around individual. He is the only man who has ever given applicants a square and honest deal as an examiner. He is not controlled by fear or favoritism. If an applicant makes the required percentage he is recommended. He should go higher up—he deserves it. There are four places in this man's town where you will get your money's worth in cats. If you, go to Gaskins you select from the bill of fare just what you want. If you go to Dades the goods are before you. Call for what you want and you get it. If you go to Graves' you are well supplied with all kinds of cats. There is a new one in the field, who has been placed upon the map by the name of Wood. Any of these places will more than satisfy the appetite. I have been wondering why Lieut. Gaither doesn't tie up. Why will he persist in coming to the Howard Theater without an escort? It would seem to me that he would get lonely some times. Well, he doesn't. He is just a matter-of-fact kind of a man, who is anxious to enlist and go to the front. He has been under the tutelage of Andrew J. Thomas for some time. What Andrew can't teach him is not worth being taught. Andrew knows from Alpha to Omega, and from Geneses to Revelations. Andrew always holds a free hand under all circumstances and conditions. When Andrew put the new dress on Howard Theater he stood back and directed his assistant, W. Byers, to see that no spots ever appear hereafter. Some time last week Lawyer Thomas L. Jones received a telephone message from a bootlegger to come to Hyattsville, Md., at once. The astute lawyer called for his Dort, not Ford, because Thomas would sue the Sage for libel if he was charged with driving a Ford. His Dort, yes, Dort. There is only one Dort in town like Lawyer Jones. His car carries parts that no other car is able to carry, and if you ask him to show them to you, they would cause Armond Scott to resign as Grand Exalted Ruler of the Elks, and T. L. Tignor to accept the position of legal adviser to the Elks. By the way, Armond has de- Uncle Sam Needs Our Men.

General Smith is every inch a military genius. He would make a great commanding general at the head of his organization. I can't see why some one doesn't take the hint. When the Pythian Temple opened Monday last there was a jubilee at the hall, and General Smith was the center of attraction. The clans were there and the water did sparkle. If the spiggot had not been out of order the Potomac would have gone dry and the city would have been invaded by Baltimore. But General Smith was on the job and held the boys in check. The clans alternated between Cunningham and Townsley Monday.

A lecture will also be given, once per week, for the benefit of ALL CLASSES OF MECHANICS, and especially to those who are interested in the BUILDING TRADES—Carpenters, Blacksmiths, Plumbers, Steam Fitters, Gas Fitters, Machinists, etc., and Contractors who do not thoroughly understand the reading of blue prints and working drawings and how to estimate on different classes of building material and work where estimates are made from plans and specifications. A CRISIS IS UPON US—PREPARE TO MEET IT. The problems that will follow in the wake of the returning victorious American Army, in which colored men have played well their part, will create a demand for persons who fully measure up to the situation brought about my new conditions. Mechanic Art and Building Trades will be given a new impetus. Applies Mathematics, Mechanical and Architectural Drafting, and the great questions of Law and International Law will necessarily forge to the front. The people who are not prepared to handle these problems will find themselves without standing in the onward march of civilization and the progress of the world.

C., NOVEMBER 16, 1918. * ‘ SOME REMARKABLE KEMAKAS, Among the numerous war books is one by. Dr. F. A. Woods end Mr, A. Baltzley entitled “Is War Diminishing?” Apparently ‘Dr. Woods is the:principal author. Boston: Houghton, Mifflin & Co.,; 1915. to F It-is not the answer of the question raised by the authors that . interests ts so much as some of the “remarkable remarks” in*the book. Here are some of them: : . “Man has not-evolved essentially by a raising of-the average, but the rige‘in intelligence of a very small percentage of all mankind has been the feature in the growth: of civilization.” . “One of the most baneful influences of our modern intellectual life is‘mediocrity.””” * : . “The age’ of intellectual: geniuses ‘of the type of Leonardo de Vinci, Descartes, Newton and Leibnitz seems to be'a thing of the past.” . . “A few years ago poor, benighted Russia seemed to. be the only place in the white man’s world from which occasional ‘flashes. of genius broke.forth.” . a : ” “Man has evolved, in spite of the fact that.he has: fought pre- sumably half of the time.”* — . : , | “The-white'man of the future will have to relinquish the leader- ship to the yellow man, who in many respects possesses ‘greater staying power and national stability than the white nations of Eu-' rope and America.” . : we : . “Eventually this may prove of gieat: benefit to mankjnd. It ‘is sheer nonsense to speak of a yellow peril.” “The Chinese, mind is in most respects much more dignified’ than our European mind.” "oe . : ~ “The philosophy of the East is probably sounder than the often highly speculative systems of the Western world.” 1 3 “The downfall of the Polish power must be sought for in.a quite different direction from that of pure military extinction.” - “All the former: great nations of Europe, such as Spain, Portu- gal, Poland. and ‘Turkey, began to decline.as soon as the Jewish element exceeded a certain percentage of the total population. In this, history Seems to be repeating itself in the ‘case Of the rapidly disintegrating Austrian Empire, in which the Jews, by their finan- cial.strength and by their proportional strength in population, have exerted a tremendous influence.” . oes | PROHIBITION. : We have never come out very strong on the question of national prohibition, ‘The reason ‘was that the question of .general prohibi- tion in the United States is a’most complex one. It is difficult: to frame a general law that may not at the ‘same time work both gen- ‘gral and personal’ inconvenience. That the universal use in our country of strong drink—whisky,- brandy, gin, etc—as a beverage may be enjoyed by some people, but it is proven that most’ of the populations of the world do not indulge that habit. Much the same might be said of certain beers. .Lager beer is a gross tipple which always suggests coarseness and a perverted taste, a big: belly and a bloated face—a certain kind of kultur. But what about good cog- nac braridy for medicinal use? . What about the heavy old ales pro- verbial for their tonic power? What about the juice of the grape— nature’s own product—which “cheers but’ not inebriates’”?? e California alone has invested billions of dollars in grape: culture and wine making. The making’ of wine from certain kinds of grapes is no -wasté of food products, as in the cases of whisky, and beer. And everybody likes wine; everybody'drinks it who can get it, and probably everybody is benefited who takes it in moderation, Many soils in hilly.or mountainous areas are fine for grape growing and fit for little else. ‘We-are loth to. destroy the wine industries of the: Pacific Coast and the Staté of New York simply in order to reach certain kindred recognized evils. a : : Here are some reasons why we regard the general prohibition question a complex one. We should-be glad to have the views of our readers’on the. question. We are opposed:to the strong drink as a common beverage. ‘Is there not a way to banish strong:drink while retaining our light. wines? Let-us hear from our readers. SOCIALISM ALREADY HERE. ths ago we said’ ir these columis, * Ve now repeat it. It is patent to the essary. for our,Government to bow ism and’ do“rnany socialistic or com eet ee et et . -Some months ago we said’ im these columns, “Socialism is al- ready here.”. We now repeat it. ‘It is patent to the diillest intellect that it was necessary. for our,Government to bow to several prin- ciples of socialism and’ do“many socialistic or communistic acts in order to carry on the war Qfiiciently. It was necessary also in Great Britain and France.’ It is 2 ‘known fact that for many years, Ger- many has worked under a system that was socialism in everything but namé—a monarchical form of. it, yet socialism. And it was highly efficient: *s . We have taken. over for Government control the railroads, tele- graphs and telephones. They will never go back to private control. They should not.. Instead, the movement will be in the opposite direction, for socialism is now here. | % ’ We. note that Victor Berger, socialist, has beén’ re-elected’ to Congress.. We note that the reactionaries are searching for prece- dents to justify the refusal of the House to seat him: - They will find some precedents for refusal to -seat a member-elect, but no precedent for s6me other features of the Berger case. We make the prediction that Mr. Berger will take his seat.’ The representative-elect of the helpless Mormons was once denied his seat in the House. The-so- cialists are not helpless, for socialism is here. ; | GREAT.EVANGELISTIC MEETING AND GOSPEL JUBILEE F will be held at the - . . McKINLEY MEMORIAL BAPTIST.

The influenza caused the closing of the churches during the month of October, owing to. which the Alliance will go to the assistance of the McKinley Church, Rev. ‘Dr. Lamkins, the pastor, being a member of the Alliance.

Located at 33 H Street N. E. One of the most successful and enterprising business men in the city is Mr. E. G. Wood, the proprietor of the Detroit Cafe, 33 H Street N. E. When Mr. Wood left his farm in Virginia he came to this city with only $7 in his pocket. He received an appointment in the Pullman service, where he saved as much of his earnings as he could. He accumulated enough to open the Detroit Cafe; 33 H Street N. E., where he is doing a thriving business. He has a most enterprising wife, who looks after his every interest, and today both of these successful people have earned enough to purchase a fine home, for which they paid cash. In another column of The Bee will be seen the new home, recently purchased by Mr. and Mrs. Wood, and a cut of the Cafe, taken by The Bee photo artist. The Detroit Cafe is the only one of its kind in the northeast. HOTEL NEWS. Colored Waiters Go Over the Top on Broadway. 1914 By R. De Reef Miller. One of the great things which happened in the city of New York just before peace was declared was the placing of colored waiters in nearly one dozen of the most fashionable hotels and restaurants on Broadway, and before the end of the month colored waitresses and waiters combined will take over the few remaining big eating places that are manned by white waiters. These are not jobs for a day or a month, but for the year, according to the Hotel Men's Association. Any hotel that gives in to the striking white waiters' union will be fined $1,000, and in cooperation with the movement to supply the proper colored help to put over the deal for colored waiters the National Association of Head Waiters and the United Waiters' Association of New York city, both incorporated associations and strictly colored, with headquarters in the heart of Harlem, have efficiently placed hundreds of fast experienced cafe waiters and waitresses on the job in New York's swellest hotels. With the backing of the Hotel Men's Association and the New York Police Department and the War Trade Board, according to investigation, many of the strikers were found to be alien enemies, and the colored waiters and waitresses are considered 100 per cent American in the eyes of the American people, and especially those that are in the hotel business. * * * The Cleff Club gave its annual affair at Manhattan Casino Friday evening.

OPTOMETRISTS OPTICIANS Coronado King's Palace It was undertaken to abolish representative government in the North by mere proclamation. In the South one who opposes the oligarchy is branded "an enemy to the South." So the Southern democracy brought North its bulldozing tactics in the last campaign, and denounced those who refused to vote for democrats as "unpatriotic." I am glad to see the spurs of the Southern democracy stuck deep in the North by the South in the saddle oligarchy; not that I rejoice at the discomfiture of the North, but I do rejoice at the awakening that it brings. It is a bit of comfort to me, too, to hear Northern Republicans fighting my fight; talking as I have talked for years, and at the cost to me of party displeasure on the part of some leaders who had the power to enforce democracy at home as easily as they now talk for democracy abroad. I stand for holding the feet of these Republican statesmen to the fire to the end that they shall be compelled to stand against the autocratic methods of the Hun in Alabama as they stand against the rule of a brutal machine in Germany. This issue will not down, and the hour has struck for this Republican "monkey-doodle" business of evasion to stop. Joseph C. Manning.

SATURDAY SERMONS BY UNUS And he played on a harp of a thousand strings. Obiter Dicta. After the appearance of my article of November and defining the new limits of Italy and Jugo-Slavia (Serbia), the New York Sun printed a map entitled "The Territory That Will Revert to Italy." It gives to Italy all that part of the South Tyrol on each side of the Adige (Etsch) River known as the Trentino; all of Istria and all of Dalmatia. This is a concession to the Italian slogan, "Italy irredenta." My plan is far more favorable to Italy, and avoids any injustice to the Slav races east of the Adriatic. The Drave River is a better boundary for Italy than the Save River. The Adige (Etsch) River would be an ideal boundary between Italy and Switzerland. Let Italy expand further to the north and join ancient Noricum to Rome. The east short of the Adriatic ought to be Slav, not Roman. After the writing of the foregoing my attention is called to another newspaper map intended to show what territory Austria-Hungary shall give up and how it shall be assigned. It consolidates the present Serbia, Montenegro and Albania, and proposes that the new Jugo-Slav nation shall be separate and include Bosnia; Herzegovina, Dalmatia, Croatia, Slavonia, all the Austrian territory east TWO—Bee of Istria and south of the Drave River and a considerable strip of Hungarian territory north of the Danube. This map, printed in a Washington daily of November 10th, is markedly pro-Teuton. It leaves Germany and German Austria intact and unites them. Its suggestions as to the disposal of other territory are reckless and calculated to make mischief. It gives all of Calicia and Burkowina to Poland, only Istria and Trentino to Italy, deprives Roumania of Transylvania and Bessarabia, gives nothing to Greece, extinguishes Montenegro and Albania and lets Turkey stay in Europe. The two redeeming things about this map are that it enlarges the area proposed to go to the Jugo-Slav races south of Austria and Hungary, and excludes Italy from Dalmatia. Otherwise it is pernicious. The Poles are now attempting to take forcible possession of a part of Galicia that I had assigned to the new State of Ruthenia. The Poles were ever quarrelsome among themselves and inconsiderate of the rights of neighboring races. My plan (Rule 59) concedes to Poland a larger area by far than any other proposed new State in Europe. That is enough for Poland. Russia. Rule 8 (repeated). Russia shall be restored to her territorial limits antebellum; her international obligations shall be adjusted and secured, and after that the Russian territory shall be reconstructed or partitioned in the interest of the several constituent races. 760. The recently established pretended governments of Poland, Finland and Ukrania, formed out of Russian territory and under German control, must be treated as political mutilities. But the proposed republics of Poland, Finland and Ukrania will be established de novo, and Bessarabia assigned to Roumania. 77. Russia having been one of the main instigators of the war, having quit in the thick of the fight after borrowing vast sums from her allies, and having later given aid and comfort to her former foe—Russia shall be deemed to be 100 per cent culpable and liable within the meaning of Rules, 19, 20, 21 and 22, set forth in my talk of October 27th: 78. But in view of many mitigating circumstances and the fact that Russia must repay to her former allies the vast sums borrowed, I recommend that a part of the penalty that ought to be imposed upon Russia be reimitted; that she be rated 25 per cent culpable and liable, and that she share in the payment of the Atonement Debt in that ratio, as provided in Rules 19, 21 and 22. 79. It is therefore expressly provided that no change of sovereignty of any of the lands or peoples of the former Russian Empire shall excuse or free such lands or peoples from their just pro, rata share of the Atonement Debt. 80. For the purpose of collecting from Russia, or any part of the former Russia, the assessed Atonement Debt, or any other debt or debts due THE AGRICULTURAL AND TECHNICAL COLLEGE WHAT COLLEGE SHALL I ATTEND THIS SESSION?

No assignment or rearrangement of Russian territory shall be made that would impede or endanger the free international routes of traffic and travel suggested in Rules 68 and 73. Africa. 82. As to Africa, the Settlement Commission, voicing the will of the victor nations, ought to adopt the following propositions: (a) Africa in the future to be primarily, for the Africans. (b) The Aryan races not further to be encouraged or aided to gain on maintain ascendency on the continent of Africa. (c) The Aryan races gradually to relinquish whatever ascendency they have acquired over African races in Africa. (d). This is a time singularly opportune to begin to right the wrong done by the Aryan races to the Africans and to begin the atonement of that wrong. The German African colonies captured during the present war are the captures of the victor allies combined, and those colonies must be disposed of by the common will of those allies. 83. The German African colonies ought to be restored to the Africans themselves, or they should be transferred to some non-colonizing and non-exploiting nation, or nations, to be held in trust for the native Africans and the black races the world over. 84. I recommend that the German African colonies be transferred in trust to the United States of America for the purposes of rule. Rochester. N. Y., Nov. 12.—Mr. and Mrs. W.

Three Colored Americans Win in West Virginia Legislature—We Are Coming. Charleston, W. Va., Nov. 9.—Resulting from Tuesday's election three colored men will have seats in the lower house when West Virginia's legislature convenes next January, rivaling the record of any state since the days of Reconstruction. The successful candidates, nominated in primaries and elected on the Republican ticket, are: J. V. Coleman of Fayette County, formerly post master at Kimberly, and now engaged in the production of coal; H. J. Capchart of McDowell County, an attorney at law, and T. G. Nutter, former Grand Exalted Ruler of the Elks, at present Grand Chancellor of the Knights of Pythias. Mr. Nutter is also an attorney. Both Fayette and McDowell Counties have had colored legislators before, the former three and the latter two, but at no time has there been more than one colored representative in the legislature. The nomination and election of these men is considered remarkable for the fact that in none of the counties which they represent is there a majority of colored voters, the percentage in McDowell being 34, Fayette 22 and Kanawha 10. For light upon dark subjects read The Bee, the paper that is not afraid to speak. * * * Illustrious Thomas W.

Average In This Country Has Risen From 71 to 97 Bushels Since 1894. Washington.—The yield of potatoes per acre is gradually increasing, the records of the bureau of crop estimates show. During 1868-1874 the average was 91 bushels, but it declined to 71.3 bushels in 1875-1894. Perceptible recovery was made in the following ten-year period and a much larger recovery, rising to a new high-water mark, was reached in 1905-1914, with its average yield of 97 bushels per acre. This increase is due to various causes, among which are greater specialization of production, more intensive treatment and higher fertility of the soil. The ten-year average yield of 97 bushels per acre in 19051914 was followed by 90.3 bushels in 1915, 80.5 bushels in the very low year of 1916, and 100.8 bushels in 1917. Compared with population the yield of potatoes per acre declined from 1866-1874 to 1905-1914. The gain of production per capita in recent years has been more because of increased acreage than because of increased production per acre.

The letter just received is the first direct word from her daughter that the mother has had in 18 months. Miss Jacobs states she has not heard from home since the war began.

TO MAKE THE HAIR GROW LONG There are so many so-cained 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 coconut 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 Quinasoap, 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.

One of the most distressing accidents on record in this city was the sudden death of Mrs. Martha Vaughn, beloved wife of Mr. Thomas Vaughn, valued member of this community, and one of the most highly esteemed members of Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, Washington, D. C. Dr. C. M. Tanner, pastor. Returning from church Sunday, November 10th, at 10 p. m., in company with her husband and a number of friends, she attempted to cross Rhode Island Avenue at 16th Street. Just as she left the sidewalk an ambulance from Emergency Hospital, going at a terrific rate of speed, struck her, causing almost instant death. Many circumstances surrounding this accident make it peculiarly sad. Mrs. Vaughn was a lady of unusual grace, and was possessed of those rare qualities which made her a welcome guest in every home. She was refined, cultured, lovable in disposition, steadfast in her friendship, and of great force of character. In her church there was not a member who was more faithful and more honored and respected than she. A few weeks ago she and her husband celebrated the twenty-second anniversary of their marriage, and it is a city-wide proverb among those who know the family that they were a model couple. They were mutually dear to and considerate of each other. The church has lost one of its most valued members. Her place will be hard to fill. The church extends to the bereaved and brief-stricken husband its deepest sympathy. Her last hours were spent in the church she loved so well, and the darkness of the night suddenly gave way to the brightness of eternity; for "when the sun in all his state illumined the eastern skies, she had passed through glory's opened gate and walked in Paradise."
