The Greatest Institution in the World Erected by Colored Americans. All St. Louis Turns Out and Does Honor. A Monument to Posterity—Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Malone the Great Centers of. Commendation—Leading Editors and Citizens in the United States Present at the Opening of Poro College. St. Louis, Mo., Nov. 26—It is a holiday for all classes of American citizens in this city. From Sunday, the 24th of November, to December 2d, Poro College opening is upon the lips of every citizen in this city. Gaily dressed ladies children and men are to be seen wending their way to the new Poro College building, which has a most commanding appearance, at the corner of Pendleton Street and St. Fernand Avenue. The great actors for this occasion are those two well-known citizens of St. Louis—Prof. A. E. and Mrs. Malone. Their goods are sold in every State in the Union and in many foreign countries. Thousands of citizens have been pouring into this great edifice from the hour the doors were opened until they closed Sunday evening. Both Mr. and Mrs. Malone have been most liberal with their contributions to the poor and other charitable institutions. They have given more to charity than any other two citizens in the United States. It is a pleasure, as well as an honor, to be here. Some of the most distinguished men and women, lawyers, orators and journalists are here. One of the greatest speeches delivered during the festivities was by Roscoe Conkling Simmons. It was a gem. Prof. A. E. Malone presided, and with dignity and clear-cut English won the plaudits of the masses. Many congratulations were tendered to Prof. and Mrs. Malone. A telegram of congratulation and regret at not being able to be present account of sickness was received from Editor W. Calvin Chase of The Washington Bee. The following report is from the St. Louis Argus, on November 20th: November 29th The throwing open of the doors of Poro College to the public and the formal dedication of the building this week has brought to.

Men and women of national reputation spoke each evening and said many good things about St. Louis and its enterprise—the largest and most complete building in the country erected by an individual. Sunday morning the chapel was opened with devotional. The employees of the institution assembled in the reception room, and at 9 o'clock sharp entered the auditorium, singing Gloria Patria. Then followed a song service. Mrs. A. M. Malone read as Scripture lesson Jeremiah 35, commencing with the 14th verse. She commented on the same. The opening prayer was made by Prof. A. E. Malone. It was fitting that the first service in the building should be praise service, thanksgiving, and that Scripture should be read by the secretary-treasurer, Mrs. Malone, whose life and talent had been placed in bringing into life that which places her as one of the foremost women of the age, and the opening prayer should be made by that talented young hero, the president of the institution, Prof. A. E. Malone. Mr. Nick Chiles, editor of the Topeka Plain Dealer, spoke Sunday, and a Bible was presented to Mr. and Mrs. Malone by Miss Bessie Coleman, in behalf of the Young Ladies' Reading Club of St. Loujs. Many letters and telegrams of congratulation were received from people of national reputation from every State and Territory in the Union. Mrs. R. A. Byrd, of Springfield, Ill., was introduced and made a short address. Monday morning the building was 2 The editors, seated, reading from left to right: W. E. King, J. H. Murphy, J. L. Abbott, H. C.

Cole and Charles H. Stewart. inspected by members of the Negro Business League of St. Louis, under the escort of Prof. Malone, and at 6 o'clock Monday evening the building was thrown open to the public. It is one of the most complete buildings in the city of St. Louis, having many advantages over other buildings, and there is not a building block in all the State to equal it in the least. As the people walked through the various parts there were heard expressions of "Wonderfull" "Wonderfull" Promptly at 8 o'clock the auditorium was thrown open, and while the orchestra played a patriotic march, the auditorium was soon crowded. The Poro chorus sang the opening song, composed by Prof. Hermes Zimmerman, "America First and Forever." race. He spoke of man and his place in God's universe, the opportunities placed within his grasp. "He who took up the opportunities and used them were the men and women who counted. Mr. and Mrs. Malone were among those who had used what God had given them, and the building was a living testimony." Congressman Newton was introduced and paid a high tribute to Mrs. Malone, the little orphan girl from Illinois, who had seen a vision, who had worked out for herself a place in the world. Dr. W. Sampson Brooks, whose very presence in the building was the occasion for an outburst of applause, and who came from Baltimore to pay his respects to the Malones, was the next speaker; in fact, he was the socializes it will not only become a contributing, but a determining factor in our new democracy." All St. Louis is proud of the contribution of $5,000 of Mr. and Mrs. Malone to the Y. M. C. A. Following his address, the agent of the Poro, numbering several hundred, stood, and Secretary Jones of the Y. M. C. A. made a few remarks. Mrs. A. E. Malone was then presented and made a short talk. "If were to take a subject," she said, "I would be on giving. It is a great thing to be able to give—give little things. I learned this when a girl when people would only give me a kind word, how it would help me and how that word inspired me." The closing address was made by Prof. Malone. His talk was along the same line—give out that which Rev. S. W. Parr made the opening prayer, and was followed by a selection by the star, Roland Hayes, of Boston, who won the audience with his rare sweet tenor voice. He was encored after each selection. Prof. Frank L. Williams, principal of the Sumner High School, who presided, made a short address, extending welcome to the large crowd. He spoke in terms of praise of Prof. and Mrs. A. E. Malone, of their accomplishments. He pointed out through them the possibilities of th race. He spoke of man and his place in God's universe, the opportunities placed within his grasp. "He who took up the opportunities and used them were the men and women who counted. Mr. and Mrs. Malone were among those who had used what God had given them, and the building was a living testimony." Congressman Newton was introduced and paid a high tribute to Mrs. Malone, the little orphan girl from Illinois, who had seen a vision, who had worked out for herself a place in the world. Dr. W. Sampson Brooks, whose very presence in the building was the occasion for an outburst of applause, and who came from Baltimore to pay his respects to the Malones, was the next speaker; in fact, he was the speaker of the evening. His address was practical and portrayed the life and work of Mr. and Mrs. Malone and their worth to humanity. He spoke of their early struggles, their building up the business which had arisen the country. "We must be able," he said, "to give to the world something, and that is what Mr. and Mrs. Malone have done. "There is no discrimination against discovery. The man who finds out what the world needs and commer- cializes it will not only become a contributing, but a determining, factor in our new democracy." All St. Louis is proud of the contribution of $5,000 of Mr. and Mrs. Malone to the Y. M. C. A.

I learned this when a girl, when people would only give me a kind word, how it would help me and how that word inspired me." The closing address was made by Prof. Malone. His talk was along the same line—give out that which comes in. Tuesday. There were many prominent people who reached the city on Tuesday to join those who were already here to pay tribute to the man and woman who were truly Missourians. Fully 1,500 people of all races and nationalities were represented in the crowd, while there was an invisible invitation extended to all, "Come and see." Tuesday Night. The auditorium was crowded. The Rev. R. H. Cole presided, and made the opening prayer. "The Old Flag Never Touched the Ground. Boys," was the opening chorus by the Poro Choral Club of 120 voices. Rev. Cole made a short talk, expressing his congratulations to promoters of the enterprise. Then followed a selection by the noted tenor from Chicago, Prof. George R. Carner, whose voice has won for him a national reputation. The childhood life of the Malones was told in an interesting manner by Mrs. H. W. Jamison, of Peoria. She had known both in their school days, and the picture she drew was real. The principal speaker of the evening was Charles Stewart, A. M., of Chicago, whose presence was a signal for smiles. He is the humorist of the race. Before he had opened his mouth the large audience was thrown into convulsions. In a humorous way he told of the impression made on members of his race, many years ago, when it was thought that in order to be able to do anything worth while one would have to be white, and he himself put forth an effort to get away from his race by the use of buttermilk. But it failed, and for that, reason he was proud, because he belongs to a race that had given to the world an Aaron and Annie Malone. "Find Yourself" was the theme discussed by Dr. Stewart, and he declared that the individual who failed. PUBLIC MEN AND THINGS. By the Sage of the Potomac. I have been wondering ever since the war began, who made all the colored people? The reason I ask this question, it seems to me that they differ so much from one another. They seem to be dissatisfied with one another. I was passing up the street a few days ago and I met a chocolate-colored individual, who wanted to know what had become of Ralph W. Tyler. The colored brother will naturally complain, anyway. He will complain if you do, and if you don't. * * * The war is over now, and the Southern cracker has commenced his usual murderous tactics and holiday fetes of lynching. There is but one thing for the colored brother to do, and that is to defend himself against attacks. He has but one time to die, and he might as well die defending himself. I didn't attend the house-warming of the legal advisor of the Elks last Friday night. I am informed that it was some feast. Grand Exalted Ruler A. W. Scott, who failed to replenish before he left home, did certainly go some. Now, I don't know whether this is true or not, but I do know that Armond can go some when he is feeling well. My good friend, Judge Robert H. Terrell, was there also. Information reaches me that the Judge, as usual, was there before the appointed time, and when he and Harry Neal were through discussing old times, the host, who had been suddenly called away, on his return dispatched a courier to Baltimore. He made some time. How he did it I am unable to surmise. You know that Harry Tignore is a lightning operator. You see him and you don't see him. I know I missed the feast, and if all reports are true, they had several sweet ladies present, who naturally barbecued a 50-pound "shoat" and put him in a dish upon the table, and, if my information is correct, the host skinned the barbecued pig without touching the meat. Don't you know, there were no speeches and very little talk. As a rule, lawyers do a great deal of talking, especially when they are together. It is so strange, because you could have floated a submarine from Baltimore Washington, which was evidence that Harry Tignore is some host. Speaking about Armond Scott, he was the quietest guest present, and when he left nobody knows, said Judge Terrell, who is the life of all occasions. The Judge is some talker, and don't you forget it, he enjoys himself, no matter how solemn the occasion. I met Ortway Holmes on the street near the Courthouse Saturday morning, and, speaking of the house-warming, he paid Harry Neal a compliment; said that he was one of the most dignified guests present. He reminded him of Speaker Clark. You know, Ortway knows how to set a table. Speaking about table decorations and the stuff he puts on it, is beyond all description. If you have never attended one of his feasts, don't miss the next one he gives. I understand that Count Jones, Royal Hughes and one or two others failed to put in an appearance. Count Jones was too busy trying his new car, and Royal Hughes, who anticipates matrimony, was too busily engaged. He can't spare two minutes in the evening to entertain his friends on legal business. His heart has become twisted and his mind is concentrated only in one direction. Well, I was told it was some housewarming. It must have been, when Charlie Hill, I am informed, who had just become a Benedict two nights previous, deliberately tore himself away. He was congratulated and was asked how it was done. What could have been the magnetism? Chatlie couldn't tell himself, but all he does know is that it was done, and he regrets that it was not done thirty-five years ago. Judge Terrell remarked, in one of his off-hand speeches, "My son, no man is too old to reform." I heard so much talk about Harry Tignore's new house and the many appointments therein, I just made up my mind to go there. I called on him Sunday. He had to be called, Beg pardon, the butler, in his regulation uniform, carried my card to him. In a few moments he returned and informed me that the legal advisor of the Elks had been up so late Friday night that it would be impossible for me to see him. Just at this moment I heard someone call in a loud voice to go to Hawley's at once and get a bottle of bromo-seltzer. FIGHTING FOR DEMOCRACY PORO SYSTEM ST. LOUIS, M.E. "PORO" COLLEGE COMPANY St. Loris, Mo. Now, why a bottle of bromo-seltzer was asked for I could not understand. Anyway, I took in the situation and as quickly as possible I made observation of the surroundings, and was thoroughly convinced that he has got the goods. I don't know whether his gas lights are made of immaculate wax and transparent marble. I have never seen the like in the Executive Mansion. I remained long enough to be convinced that the bromo-seltzer had not taken effect and therefore I could not relate my tale of woe. I left, and yesterday I met him at the Police Court and informed him what had transpired. He declared that he received no card from his chauffeur, who was answering his bell last Sunday; that no one was sick in his house, and the only time bromo-seltzer was called for was on Friday evening, when it became necessary for every guest in the house to carry a bottle home. I concluded that Harry must be the prime minister in the Ananias Club, or I was past grand exalted ruler of the Elks, and on the recommendation of Armond Scott, Harry. Tignore was removed as legal advisor of the Elks. and Judge Terrell's final decision was that it was the finest barbecued pig he had ever tasted, and taking into consideration the entire affair, it could not have been surpassed.

Scott, Assistant to the Secretary of War, Speaks—Great Tribute to the Roll of Honor, of Ninety-Two Faithful Americans—Bishop John Wesley Hamilton; D. D., Ph. D., Speaks—Editor W. Calvin Chase Receives an Ovation—Choir Leader Johnson Gives Some Fine Selections. Asbury Methodist Episcopal Church at the corner of 11th and K. Streets N. W., one of the most handsome churches in the city, was a scene of patriotism last Monday evening. The audience consisted of some of the most distinguished people in the city. Seated in the pulpit were the pastor, Rev. M. W. Clair, Rev. I. L. Thomas, Bishop John Wesley Hamilton, Prof. L. M. Hershaw, Mr. Emett J. Scott, Rev. Emory G. Smith, pastor of Lincoln Congregational Church, and W. Calvin Chase. The exercises were opened with a selection by the choir, Mr. R. W. John, leader, and Mrs. Essie V. Jarvis, organist. The committee under whose auspices the exercises were conducted, consisted of Attorney Charles P. Ford, of the local bar; S. L. McLaurin, Dr. William H. Jackson, William H. Johnson and Charles F. Sprague. Mr. Emmett J. Scott gave a brief and concise review of the valor of the colored soldiers in Europe, and what the colored race have gained from this war, and what has been accomplished since the first colored soldiers entered the war. For thirty minutes he gave an interesting account of the valor of the colored soldiers overseas. Attorney McLaurin introduced Mr. Scott in very flattering terms. Mrs. Chatlotte Wallace Murray rendered very sweetly a solo entitled "When the Boys Come Home." Mrs. Bessie Hamilton Armes, who was Washington's prima donna in years gone by, rendered very sweetly the "Marseillaise." She has lost none of her musical charm, and at the conclusion of the beautiful selection she was loudly applauded. Bishop Hamilton was the next speaker. He spoke of the condition between the races in this country and what was best to be done. His ad- Dept. I, dress was loudly applauded. Editor W. Calvin Chase followed Bishop Hamilton. Mr. Chase spoke of the conditions in the army and the appeals that are being made by colored soldiers in hospitals for better treatment. He laid the responsibility where it belonged. At the conclusion of his address he received an ovation. Prof. L. M. Hershaw was the next speaker. He agreed with Mr. Scott to some extent, and quoted from the remarks of Bishop Hamilton. Attorney Ford presided with much dignity. His introductory remarks were pointed. Order of Exercises.

There were thousands colored, who participated in the ceremonies. Malone received hundreds of telegraphic calls of the leading citizens in the United States were not disappointed. There are no colored race more deserving of such an ovation plished is by their own efforts and on the long monument to the colored race in the main extends its congratulations and wishes. Americans everlasting success and pro- Malones! As The Bee stated a week ago, the opening of Poro College was the greatest event in the history of the colored citizens of St. Louis, Mo., and the entire West. There were thousands of citizens, white and colored, who participated in the ceremonies. Prof. A. E. and Mrs. Malone received hundreds of telegraphic congratulations from some of the leading citizens in the United States, and those who attended were not disappointed. There are no two members of the colored race more deserving of such an ovation. What they have accomplished is by their own efforts and on their own merit. It is a lasting monument to the colored race in the United States. The Bee again extends its congratulations and wishes for these two progressive Americans everlasting success and prosperity. All honor to the Malones! AT PEACE—WHAT NEXT? has been declared by the warring forces. Every loyal black ally who was able to record and did not hesitate to respond what next? By, lynching, burning at the stake, disfranchise were but playthings handed to the faith what next? Fortorious forces are now returning from the man tainted with the same old spirit of revenge.

Framed that "he who runs can read." There is a good fight, and now is the time for the it at the Peace Conference, so let every to support their representatives who may be played the fool long enough. Now act. Peace has been declared by the warring forces of the world. What next? Every loyal black ally who was able to shoulder a gun made a record and did not hesitate to respond when his country called. What next? Anarchy, lynching, burning at the stake, disfranchisement and discrimination were but playthings handed to the faithful and loyal blacks. What next? The victorious forces are now returning from the field of battle, some of them tainted with the same old spirit of revenge and hate. What next? The colored Americans who are and have been loyal to a republic and their President and all Americans, don't propose to tolerate any longer this diabolical treatment that is being handed out to them. It is quite evident that the Democratic party is ungrateful, no matter what sacrifices a race makes for the salvation of a republic. Will the Republican party do any better? Segregation and discrimination was born under the Taft administration, and perpetuated under the present administration. If the Republican party, or any other party, wants the colored vote it must show by acts and good deeds that colored Americans are to be given the full rights of citizenship and merit must be rewarded. The Republican party shall no longer play the hypocrite. It must face the issue in the next presidential contest. Its platform shall be so framed that "he who runs can read." The colored allies have fought a good fight, and now is the time for the reward. We shall demand it at the Peace Conference, so let every true American be ready to support their representatives who may be sent to that conference. We have played the fool long enough. Now act!

Colored laborer is accustomed to such a di- tis found to be absolutely necessary for an- times a diet even more varied and attract In another article in this issue we advance the proposition that the first demand of our colored people should be for equal opportunity to labor, and equal pay for like labor. That will enable them to get better food, better clothing and better shelter. In this land of boasted wealth and plenty the condition of our colored group in respect to these necessaries is deplorable. It is because they are exploited and robbed. Take the single item of food. The present war has demonstrated and widely advertised the daily food deemed necessary for the healthy strong man. We mention here at random some of the articles of the soldier's diet deemed essential: Meats, corn beef, fresh roast beef, hash, salmon, sardines and canned bacon; soup in cubes, potatoes, trench bread, dried beans or peas, jam, coffee, sugar, salt, evaporated milk, sweet chocolate; dried fruit alternated for jam; candy substituted for sweet chocolate; soft bread alternated for trench bread. What colored laborer is accustomed to such a diet? And yet such a diet is found to be absolutely necessary for an efficient soldier, and ofttimes a diet even more varied and attractive. PROFITEERS IN THE SADDLE. encencies of the war made it necessary for the number of arbitrary sumptuary regulations, law laws." It was an absolute necessity. "It much to check legitimate consumption of the rapacity of manufacturers, middlemen and are our national aristocracy, our parasite of war boards were established to curb the boards were and are still composed of mass. There is a persistent popular opinion little to protect the buying public from illustrate: one board made a great flourish The exigencies of the war made it necessary for this country to adopt a number of arbitrary sumptuary regulations, equivalent to "sumptuary laws." It was an absolute necessity. The necessity was not so much to check legitimate consumption of staple articles as to curb the rapacity of manufacturers, middlemen and merchants. These classes are our national aristocracy, our parasites and gormandizers. A number of war boards were established to curb the profiteers. The most of the boards were and are still composed of men of the privileged class. There is a persistent popular opinion that these boards did little to protect the buying public from extortionate prices. To illustrate: one board made a great flourish in fixing the minimum price of shoes at $2 and the maximum price at $12. A fair maximum price would have been about $6 to $8. The armistice was no sooner signed than nearly every one of these boards began to announce the removal of the war-time restrictions, thus giving the profiteers encouragement and carte blanche to gouge the public to the utmost. The war is not over. It will be a year or two before the normal trade conditions will automatically readjust themselves. Our sumptuary laws should remain in force for some time to come. Some of them should be made permanent. PORO COLLEGE The Greatest Institution in the World Erected by Colored Americans—All St. Louis Turns Out and Does Honor to Two of the Greatest Colored American Builders—Many Speeches Made. to find himself was a failure through life. "Find out first of all what man is," he said, "and then you are in a position to better fix your own status. Man is not physical size, not physical strength, but mind. 'The Lord God formed man out of the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living soul.' The man then is not the dust, but that which came from the mouth of God, soul, mind, will. Man is mind. Mr. and Mrs. Malone, have located themselves through their mind, hence this monument, the opening of which we celebrate." Hon. George L. Knox, editor of the Freeman, Indianapolis, Ind., was the next speaker. He told of the importance of doing things. He was followed by John H. Murphy, editor of the Afro-American, Baltimore. Mr. Murphy made a practical business talk to the people. He was given an ovation. Lester Walton, of the New York Age, a product of St. Louis, was introduced and made a short address. Wednesday. In the afternoon the Poro agents of St. Louis entertained the agents from other parts of the country, giving a reception and a banquet which was served in the dining hall. In the auditorium a program was rendered, presided over by Mrs. Victoria Turner; Mrs. Bland made the opening prayer, and music was furnished by the orchestra. Addresses of welcome were delivered by Mesdames Brooks, Kally, Hawkins and A. E. Malone. Responses were made by Mrs. Cora A. Williams, Atlanta, Ga.; Mrs. Willie Scott, Cleveland, Ohio; Mrs. Betts of Chicago; Mrs. E. L. Vaughn, Pittsburgh, Pa., and Mrs. Clark, of New York. Short talks were made by all the visiting agents, and Charles Stewart recited "Two Verdicts." At the banquet toasts were responded to by delegates from Pennsylvania, Kansas, Georgia, Alabama, New York, Illinois, Iowa, Arkansas and Florida. A solo was sung by Mrs. Vella Bundy. Wednesday Evening. Prof. Charles Brown presided. The auditorium was crowded and many were unable to get inside. The platform idol of the race, R. C. Simmons, was the speaker of the evening, and the soloist was Mme. Anita Patti Brown of Chicago. Dr. George E. Stevens, pastor of Central Baptist Church, made the opening prayer. In his opening remarks Professor Brown paid a tribute to his race, ending with Mr. and Mrs. Malone. He said they had merited all that had been said about them, and even more. He introduced I. Willis Cole of Louisville, Kentucky, who presented greetings from Louisville. Dr. S: A. Ware rendered a solo, and in the midst of an encore Roscoe E. Simmons entered the auditorium, and he was given an ovation by the large audience. He was introduced, and for one hour held the audience spellbound, only being interrupted by outbursts of applause as he drove home some important points. He said that he was late because he had to stop to look at the building. He said that it was Negro from top to bottom. He said that the building represented the combination of brains and money, and told his people that it was necessary to have both brains and money to build up a great race. Following the address, J. Finley Wilson, editor of the Washington Eagle, Washington, D. C.; Carey B. Lewis, managing editor of the Defender, Chicago; R. S. Abbott, editor-in-chief and owner of the Defender, with his bride, were presented. The closing selection was sung by Anita Patti Brown. Some of the strongest men of the race, together with women, are in the city. Hon. R. A. Byrd of Springfield, Ill., was introduced. He is booked to speak at a later date. At the meeting of editors Thursday of last week, Harry C. Smith, of the Cleveland (Ohio) Gazette, presided. This has been a week of good things at Poro. The speaker for Thursday night was Rev. Henry Allen Boyd of Nashville, Tenn., and N. C. Crews of Kansas City. Newspaper Men Meet The newspaper men attending the opening had a meeting. Thursday afternoon, which was followed by a smoker and a visit to the various newspapers of the city. Editor Mitchell of The Argus presided Edi- tor Abbott of the Chicago Defender delivered an address on "Newspaper Making." The meeting was also addressed by Prof. A. E. Malone, who said that he was indeed glad to have the members of the press present. It was his desire to have them use a story that he might prepare for them, but he wanted them to come and see, and if they found anything worthy of telling their readers to do it from their viewpoint and not from people, and stood ready to do anything in his power to that end. "I invited you because I wanted you to be here. This invitation is not selfish." A special Thanksgiving dinner was served to all the visitors. The largest crowd filled the auditorium and corridors Thursday evening. The speaker of the evening was the Hon. Nelson Crews of Kansas City, Mo. It was a great speech, and long since the country has acknowledged, Mr. Crews as one of the greatest orators of the race. He maintained his reputation. He paid a high tribute to Mr. and Mrs. Malone for their contribution to the race. "I was told to bring with me a white flag when I left home," said Mr. Crews. "White flag means surrender, and I did not feel that I needed it, because Kansas City leads them all, but since I have been here and have seen this magnificent structure, I am willing to surrender to Mr. and Mrs. Malone. This is a great building, and we rejoice with you because of it. St. Louis leads the world." Captain R. A. Byrd of Springfield was the next speaker. He, like others, had many good things to say about the work of Mr. and Mrs. Malone, and declared that the race could not say too much for them. Dr. J. S. Caston, representing the Negro Business League of St. Louis, spoke. The members of the league were present in a body. Editor Abbott of the Chicago Defender made an address. He was proud of the work of the Malones, and said that the only way for the American Negro to climb was by doing things and not by sitting around complaining. He said that the Chicago Defender was going to spend money to send a representative to the Peace Conference in France in order that the readers may be posted. "We are not the fools that most people would try to make you believe that we are." Editor W. E. King of the Dallas Express, read the following resolution from the newspaper men: "Whereas, the representatives of the newspapers here assembled recognize the splendid success of the Poro College Company, Mr. A. E. Malone, president, and Mrs. A. E. Malone, secretary-treasurer, as example in the beautiful building here erected; and, "Whereas, through their far-sightedness and intelligent value of the power of the press, they have extended to us a warm welcome to be present at this auspicious opening, of which invitation we have availed the opportunity to attend, therefore, be it "Resolved, That we extend a vote of thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Malone for the courtesies extended us while here, and wish for them the greatest measure of success in their splendid undertaking." Overflow Meeting. Two hundred people attended the overflow meeting in the dining room. Hon. Nelson C. Crews, after finishing his speech in the auditorium, addressed the overflow. Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of the Cleveland Gazette, and who served three terms in the Ohio legislature, was the principal speaker. He said: "The presence of so many editors of the race newspapers is a distinct compliment to Prof. and Mrs. Malone in honor of the greatest race business enterprise to date." He referred to the fifty-six colored teachers in the mixed schools of the city of Cleveland as possibly the most encouraging thing of a racial nature for that city and state, and referred to the inaction of Ohio's civil right's law, anti-lynching law and the barring of the infamous photo play, 'The Birth of a Nation,' from the state three years ago, and two months ago as the most distinctive racial success of recent years in the State of Ohio. There was a session of the press Friday morning. There were many things discussed by the men who hold the destiny of the race in their hands. These men are the makers of sentiment and the defenders of the race. Resolutions were passed pledging the moral support of Dr. Bundy, the man of the hour, the man whose life was being sought or whose freedom was in jeopardy. Short speeches were made by J. Anthony Josey, of Madison, Wis.; Ormond A. Forte, of Cleveland, Ohio, and J. Finley Wilson, of Washington, D. C. Mrs. Malone was presented with a basket bouquet by the Orphans' Home. To this Prof. Malone responded. He said they were but God's stewards, and his success was but God putting within his reach means to help the orphans and the old people, and the first money realized in the auditorium should be for the orphans. This is what he had on the book, and it was what should be done. As he told how he and wife were both orphans at the age of two years, hence knew full well how to extend to orphan-children sympathy, and their success was but means placed in their hands to do more for the unfortunate. He wanted to be able to do for the old people and the children alone in the world. As he spoke of the children alone in the world, he wept like a child, and there were many in the audience who joined with him. There were many strong addresses delivered in the dining room. Capt. Byrd presided. James L. Usher presided at the meeting Saturday evening, and the soloist was John W. Evans. George H. Harris, editor of the New York News, delivered an address. He said he came to see the great building, and, like the Queen of Sheba, he was ready to say that the half had not been told. Nick Chiles, editor of the Topeka Plain Dealer, spoke. A moving picture exhibition was put on for a short time, showing the progress of Poro and some interesting things racial. Sunday marked the closing of the exercises, and it was considered a great day. At a time when all the churches were not in service, several thousand people were turned away from the building. The Poro Choral Club furnished the music. John B. Vashon presided, and Dr. O: C. Maxwell made the opening prayer. Rev. William H. Peck, D. D., introduced the speaker, Dr. R. E. Jones, editor of the Southwestern Christian Advocate. Rev. H. H. Harris presented Mrs. Malone with a large bouquet of flowers. DESCRIPTION OF THE BUILDING. The Poro College building, on the southwest corner of Pehdleton and St. Ferdinand Avenues, was designed and erected under the superintendence of Albert E. Groves, architect, and occupies an area of 142x137 feet. It contains three stories, mezzanine, besides a basement and roof garden, and is designed in an adaptation of the colonial style of architecture. The material used on the exterior is a dark red viterois brick, with white glazed terra cotta trimmings, cornice and string courses. It has a reinforced concrete skeleton frame, with brick enclosed walls, and is thoroughly fireproof. It contains a manufacturing department for Poro products, together with the general office of the company; a department containing thirty-one booths for shampooing, massaging, hair dressing, manicuring and chiropody; four separate stores and an auditorium which will seat five hundred persons. The building also contains thirty-five offices, equipped for doctors and dentists, and also class rooms, dining room, kitchen and ninety-five dormitory rooms for Poro students, which give instructions in the treatment of the scalp, hair, manicuring, etc. A large bath department equipped, with tubs, shower, electric and vapor baths; also contains a large steam laundry, emergency hospital rooms, reception and committee rooms. The building is steam heated throughout, and equipped with modern plumbing; contains a model ice and refrigerating plant, which furnishes refrigerating to all the ice fountains, the soda fountain, and refrigerates the vaults which contain the goods in the process of manufacture; also refrigerates the ice boxes in connection with the pantry and kitchen. It has local and long distance telephone connection from the rooms, every one of which is an outside room. The building is equipped with pneumatic carriers, electric passenger and freight elevators. The building cost upward of $250,000 to build and equip, and is one of the largest and most complete establishments of its kind in the country. It is owned by the Poro College Company, of which Aaron E. Malone is president, and Annie M. Pope Turnbo Malone secretary-treasurer. The institution formerly occupied a large residence at 3100 Pine Street, and has had a rapid growth, due largely to the business ability of Mrs. A. M. Pope Turnbo Malone. GEO. C. HAYNES ENDORSED.

The Charleston American invites attention to the fact that out of the $260,000 taken at Charleston (S. C.) Navy Yard, 1,200 colored employees, many of them only in temporary service, recently bought bonds to the value of $66,700, over one-fourth of the total. --- Capt. Joseph E. Trigg, who has made an enviable record with the 1930 368th Infantry somewhere in France, formerly in command of Company A, has been transferred to the staff and placed in charge of munitions. Capt. Trigg took an active and creditable part in the reduction of the St. Mihiel salient, one of the decisive battles of the war. It is stated that there are now 325 Y. M. C. A. secretaries engaged in work among the colored troops in this country and overseas, laboring under the supervision of Dr. J. E. Moorland, international secretary and in charge of the colored division of the Y. M. C. A. war work, conducted through the National War Work Council of the Y. M. C. A. of the United States, with headquarters at 347 Madison Avenue, New York City. * * * John M. Wright, former deputy county treasurer of Shawnee County, Topeka, Kansas, has enlisted in the war service as a Y. M. C. A. secretary and is stationed at Camp Grant, Rockford, Ill. One of the urgent matters to which colored Y. M. C. A. secretaries at the various camps have been addressing themselves earnestly and vigorously is the reduction of illiteracy among the colored soldiers. In a few of the camps it is stated that more than 80 per cent of the men are unable to read or write. This refers particularly to camps where the colored men come from districts far removed from cities or settlements where educational facilities are available. *** A city-wide reception was tendered in honor of Sergt. Needham Roberts Wednesday evening, November 6th, at Trenton, N. J., his home town. Mayor Frederick W. Donnelly took a hearty interest in arranging the affair. This is the member of the "Fighting Fifteenth" of New York (merged into the 369th Infantry), who, with Henry Johnson, put a score or more Huns to flight in one of the most terrific encounters of the war in France, and thus saved the lives of thousands of their sleeping comrades in camp, over which they were assigned as guards. 2 PEK h Sy Sh, 2.

League of Nations My talks, Nos. 3 to 9, on"The Settlement," have been devoted to the Preliminary Settlement, or the acts and agencies of the victor nations following the conclusion of active hostilities. Now let us turn to (B) The Permanent Settlement. The Washington Post of November 30th, prints an editorial on"The League of Nations" that is so farsighted, comprehensive, sane and altogether admirable that I deem it useful to call special attention to it. I regret that space does not, permit me to embody the whole of it here. The Post says: "It is greatly to the honor of all concerned that the project for a league of nations is to be taken up for practical study at the forthcoming peace conference. The world prays for an end of wars and will yield much for that desired end. The question now is whether the nations have reached that stage of unselfish and enlightened wisdom and mutual confidence which is the indispensable condition precedent to the formation of a league of nations." This statement follows the enumeration of the many benefits that a proper sort of league of nations would bring to mankind, and then the Post goes on to suggest that for the United States to submit itself to the control of [an ideal] league of nations would require an amendment of our Constitution. The article concludes: "Fortunately for the world, the allied nations can arrange for and secure peace and freedom without depending upon the creation of an ideal league of nations." My own remarks on the subject had already been written when the article in the Post appeared. It is a pleasure to record here a view so hopeful as that last quoted, even though it may tend in some measure to discredit my own, which follows: So far as I know, the initial recent motion for a league of nations came from President Woodrow Wilson. It is the most important motion ever proposed by a man to men. It is "a consummation devoutly to be wished for." But there are serious inherent difficulties about the proposition. Le Sage, in his novel "Gil Blas," makes one of his characters say in effect: "Every man wants no man's hand in his pocket, but he wants freedom to put his hand into other men's pockets." Civilization, so called, has not yet passed the stage where refined forms of robbery and exploitation, or varied forms of enforced labor, tantamount to slavery, are the rule rather than the exception. The laws, ordinances, rules, regulations and customs of "civilized nations" tacitly recognize this theory. Clans, classes, orders, states and nations scarcely less recognize it. The gist of the theory is: To get the fruits of the labor of the neighbor free of cost, if possible; if not free, then as cheap as possible. Whatever league of nations there will presently be will be dominated at the start by half a dozen powerful nations. The past records of some of these nations are not such as to give promise of altruism and justice towards weaker nations. Nearly all of these nations (and not one is an absolute monarchy) are oligarchies of wealth, in which a powerful bourgeoisie revels in luxury at the expense of an ill-fed, ill-clad, ill-washed and ill-housed proleariat. Nearly all of these nations exploit their own blood and kin, nearly all of them exploit colonies or seek to exploit colonies. If they are thus rapacious towards their own blood and fellow-citizens and those colonies they are legally and morally bound to protect, how can we expect them to protect and succor alien peoples? Plan of Force It is probable that the only kind of league of nations that will be formed at any early day will be one grounded solely on military force. It will pretend the object of self-protection; its main work will be to advance the self-interests of the most powerful members. The most influential nations that will compose, it will be those commanding the largest armies and navies. Moral superiority will count for little, for those same nations will be dominated by their rich exploiters and non-producers—many of them "malefactors of great YOU CAN HAVE A FAIR, If your skin is dark or ashy, or if you are troubled with bumps, pimples, black-heads or freckles—do not be discouraged.

Be sure that the name "Dr. Fred Palmer" appears on each. DO NOT ACCEPT LIMITATIONS. wealth." These individuals will have no notion to surrender their present leverages of exploitation, nor their present disproportionate wealth, nor their means to augment these. Such men do not love humanity, they do not love their neighbors, they have to regard for posterity as a whole, they are not guided by altruism, they will not aim at universal justice. I am not much interested in a league of nations of this sort. But if such a league is to be formed, it will be a simple thing to do. Here are the essentials: (1) A common council; (2) each constituent member to have a voting power equal to its shooting power; (3) police duty may be delegated to individual nations as desired; (4) graduated disarmament can be effected as desired An ideal league of nations would be a sort of Amphictonic Council analagous to that of the ancient Greeks. Its basis should be universal world suffrage. That is to say, every nation of the world would exercise a voice in the international council in proportion to its population. This plan would require a very small international police force. The first obstacle to the adoption of such a plan would arise from race arrogance. I fear that the "civilized nations" would not concede to the "others" any such voice. It would embarrass the present system favorable to exploitation and free fruits. And yet I am disposed to plead for this ideal plan. At least it would put to an early test the profession of those who pretend to subscribe to the doctrine of making the world safe for democracy. Underground Propaganda. In concluding this series of talks on "the settlement," I deem it a patriotic duty to warn our country against crafty and insidious propaganda in the interest of the Germans to which Senator Lodge recently called attention in the Senate. Its aim is to enable the Germans to escape with a light penalty, to save territory to the Germans, and to give the Germans an early voice in the league of nations. A series of signed articles notably offensive in this particular are copyrighted by a reputable New York daily and printed in various other reputable daillies. One of these articles, of Sunday, December 1st, is a fair sample of these poorly disguised pro-German appeals to public opinion. 2,500,000 WORKERS DIRECTED TO WAR INDUSTRIES BY U. S. EMPLOYMENT SERVICE IN TEN MONTHS. When Hostilities Ceased War Workers Were Being Recruited at Rate of 650,000 a Month—Arrival of Peace Means Volume of From its reorganization last January until the signing of the armistice, the United States Employment Service directed to employment, almost entirely in war industry, including agriculture, approximately 2,500,000 workers. It also increased its local employment offices from 90 to 900 in the same period. These figures represent an increase of about 1,000 per cent in both labor finding activities and in the establishment of local employment offices. The steady rate at which the Service has grown in extent and accomplishment is indicated by the fact that in January last 62,642 persons were sent to jobs, while last month 547,862 were directed to employment. Furthermore, during the week ending November 2, the last week but one of war conditions, 162,754 workers were directed—a rate of 650,060 a month. Returns made by employers and workers show that approximately 2,000,000 of the 2,500,000 workers directed were placed. It is impossible to know how many of the balance were placed, owing to the failure of some employers and workers to notify the Service of the acceptance of workers or jobs. At the outset of the reorganization, it was estimated that the war industries of the country would require between 2,000,000 and 3,000,000 workers up to the end of 1918. Moreover, it was not simply a case of directing to war plants applicants at the local offices of the Employment Service. The Service has had literally to "dig up" men from nonwar work and help reduce "turnover," the agencies chiefly being the paid agents of the Employment Service, the volunteer agents of its public Service, Reserve, and more recently, the community labor boards. Patriotic help was rendered the agents and boards by employers and employees and their organizations: The replacement of war workers and soldiers in peace industries, already begun, would indicate that the volume of work of the Employment Service during the coming months will be as great as it was up to the signing of the armistice.

HAYNES. ‘Has the Confidence and Respect of the Department—His _Work™ Highly Commended - The Department of Labor has just issued a statement through Dr: George E. Haynes; Directdr of Negro Economics, summarizing the: first six months of sits work in‘ ant effort to marshal the millions of Negro wage earners of the nation in its war labor program for one hundred per cent production’ in agriculture and industry for winning the war now drawing :to a victorious end. “ ‘The’ Secretary of Labor stated’ as the main, principle in his ‘effort to in- crease the morale and efficiency of Negro wage earners, that they should have represéntation around the coun- sel table when matters directly or manifestly ‘affecting them ‘were to’ be considered. ‘The Secretary also rec- ognized that the majority of employ- ‘ers of Negro workmen: and many of their fellow-employes are white per- sons, In the plans of the department, therefore, the ‘principle of co-opera- tion of the Negro wage earners white employers and -white workmen has entered into all the plans of organi- zation. ae e In an: interview, Dr. Haynes made the following statement: “In line with the principle ‘of répresenta> tion. of wage éarnersiand df co-opera- tion of wage~eatners* and employers during: six’ months’ pf-work, we have ‘made. substantial.’ progteas in _ pro- moting a practical: program that has brought great“ response:from Negro workers, . For’ thig: purpose we’ have held state conferences “of represent- atives-of Negro wage earners, white employers, - and,. ‘wherever possible, of white workmén, in ‘the’ following states: © Virginia, . North’ Carolina, Florida, Mississippi,‘ Kentucky, Tllin- ois and Ohio,-ata“plans have been made’ for similar: conferences to: be held: before the end of the year. in New. Jersey, South Carolina; L,ouisi~ ant, Missouri-and Michigan... These meetings have been ‘teal confereiices; there has’ aot . bein conventional speechmaking,. but open ‘discussion of the purpose: and plans: for the depart- ment’s ‘effort in dealing with Negro wage earners through co-operation of wage’ earners and employers and the necessity “of: labor for. winning the war. The conferences have ‘adopted plans ‘for the organization -of State Negro Workers’ Advisory Commit- tees.and programs of practical work, Following ‘these ‘state conferences Negro Workers, Advisory, Commit ltees have been formed by states, and each of the states. have developed county and-city advisory committees: In all cases the committees are made ‘up of represeritatives of Negro wage garners, of white employers, and, wherever: possible, ‘of white employ- lees, In Virginta, local advisory com- mittees have been formed in forty- nine’ tounties, and in three: cities, under the State Committée.. In Ohio, under the State Committee; ‘similar committees have been formed, in twenty-three of the principal: indus- trial: centers to which Negroes have come in large numbers, In Florida, ;county committeés have been formed in about twenty counties, and about the same number in Mississippi. The state conferences. North Cafolina, Florida, Georgia and Kentucky were called by the governors. of those states, who attended in ‘persons, and in three of these states, the goyer- nors .presided at’ oné or more ses- sions. In Ohio, Governor Cox made a stirring address to tHe conference ‘and promised any ‘help. which the state Could: give “to the program. |. These.committees’ have been in of- jfcial. relations with’ the State and ‘County Councils of Defense, Cham- ‘bers of Commerce and other com- mercial bodies, ‘the United States | Employnient «Service officials, and ‘the Gdinmunity Labor Boards of the Department’ of. Labor,” . Following their: organization, these committees have carried: on a, very ‘definite type | of work, as a means of increasing the morale and efficiency of Negro, labor lin agriculture and. industry. . For in- stance, in, Ohio the committees have done effective work in helping to in: troduce ‘competent colored women into: industries; in Norfolk, \Va; the Negro Workers’ Advisory Commit- ‘tee was given charge -by ‘the Cliam- Sber-of Commerce ofthe program-on labor shortage, so far’as it affected the Negro wage-earners.. This Ad- cisory Committee is still carrying forward a vigorous ‘speaking cam- paign ‘for the. benefit of. both the working people, and the many large industrial projects of that commun- ity. In all sections of the’ States or- | ganized, these’ Advisory Cornmiittees have afranged mass meetings to ac- Iquaint the Negro people with the ré= lation of their Jabor ‘to ‘the war. Hundreds of’ “such local _ meetings fiage “been lield for this purpose. ©” “Now thatthe war is eriding in vic: torious peace,’ these committees are turning their “attention ‘to, problems of reconstruction, “In ordér to push their work ‘and to enable the setvices Gf the Department “of Labor to. be efficiently ‘ditected in the ‘several States, supervisors- of Negro“ eco- fhomics have been appointed either under the autliority of or in coopera- tion. with the United States Employ- ment Service.

The Department of Labor desires that in every State the Negro -wage-earner shall get in touct with these officials on all matters relating to labor con- ditions affecting Negro wage-earners. Recently Mr, Louis F.

ARTICLE. VII. Somewhere- in France—The .col- ored people: back in Ameri¢a can well feel proud of the record madé by the gand - Division over here, which has about 600 colored line officers, and whose rank and file is composed ex- clusively of colored soldiers. Here is the record of the Ninety-Second as a combatant ‘regiment up to No- vember 8th, 1918: When the. Marbache ‘sector . was taken over by the: 92nd Division of “Black -Devils,” as the Germans call them, “No Man’s Land” was owned by: the Germans, and here they were aggressively of the offensive. They, the Germans, held Belie Farm, -Bois De..Tete. D'Or, Bois’ De Frehaut, Voivrotte Farm, Voivrotte . Woods, Bois De Cheminot and Mouton Brook. The constantly. aggressive action of patrols, day and night, .from ‘the Ninety-Second: has. resulted in many casualties to the Germans, and the capture of maiiy prisoners. : Each’ of: the ‘places named above has been raided, as has also Epley, dad patrols’ from the division have | Pesietrated north neatly to the east and’ west fine ¢hrough’ Pagny. The Germans have tieen driven north be- ‘yond : Frehaut} and Voiyrotte ‘to Cheminot Bridge, and-in his despera- tion, the Hun [{3. attempting to de~ stroy the Seili¢: Bridge, after having loodea the Seifie, proving conclissive> ly: that he rrghrds the black troops se “compose jithe “gand “Divisien ‘as one he canribt’ successfully. with- stand. West $f the Seilie River ex- cellent results ‘have’ followed the ener- ‘getic, offensive action of this doughty wing ‘of ‘the Allied army; the Ger- iians" losing heavily in Killed’ and wounded’and prisonérs. ° Ih’ nearly eveiy’ instarice these’ raids made by troopers “ofthis: division “have -been mate uiider thé commatid of colored line’ officers.- * ° ‘Whis-record made by’ these colored soldiers must, of riecessity, arouse the greatest enthusiasm. back in the “States,” and merit’ the plaudits ‘of the race for the cue fighting ma- chine. So wondehful have been the achievements. of the_ Ninety-Sécond that the division commander was im- pelled to’ send out a bulletin of con- gratulation, to \bé read_before each unit of the division. This proud rec- ord must forever set at rest the ques- tion of colored soldiers following and fighting under. their own officers, and it must forever establish the efficiency of colored- officers, who have done splendidly under the most trying cir- cumstances. QUARRELSOME. ‘The Germans’ at home are. said, to be notable for being quarrelsome among themselves. In trivial person- al matters they are constantly in con- tention.’ The minor courts work overtime to. settle pretty causes.. The same was true of the Polish nation over a century ago. Jy The Polish Kingdom fell; 7 ‘The German Empire is falling. Let ‘our colored people: take thoughtful note of these. two great object lessons. The colored people are inclined to be too quarrelsome among themselves. There is too much envy and’ jealousy, too much backbiting and slander, too much clubbing and ‘knifing. : Envy is the unhappy frame’ of mind that'a person suffers because he feel that another has got some benefit or preferment that he himself should have got first.- Here is a fruitful source of mischief among colored people, * The most distinguished amongst us’ are, the holders of-a few petty offices or salaried jobs. There are’ few other means of honorable “public distine~ tion open to us, It is true that these petty offices and jobs do not pay much, yet they énable the holders of them to wear starched collars and to constitute a pseudo gentry. The bést jobs are exceedingly scarce, and for every such job there are numerous applicants. Our definition. of envy needs. no further application. Envy begets backbiting, slander and knifing, which are aimed to keep some one out of a good job or to put him out of a good job. A col- ored man who holds a ‘job paying two thousands dollars: or over ~is likely to be the target.of many,’an envious dart. . * Backbiting and slander are nearly always attended with “quarreling. Quarreling is very’ smal! business. Slander and knifing are contemptible There is too much of these amongst our people. |. It will be a hopeful day when out |people find bigger: business: . “ Big | business will occupy their. minds anc develop in them a contempt. for ‘use less small- things. Big business wil be to stand shoulder.to shoulder. anc establish farms,.and mills and - fac tories and stores, andthe people wil | support them. “When the day of ou! big business arrives, we shall praise our eminent men and worten, not Jenvy them. Then we shall be too busy to be quarrefsome: . JUDGE HEWLITT. ARRIVES. Memphis, ‘Tenn, Nov. 30. - “Judge E. M.

NOW ‘READY. ea He = The Washington Bee Anniversary ‘The goth anniversary march of the. Washington Bee is now on’ sale’ at Adamis’: Musie Store, ror 9th Street N. W:” Don’t fall to secure a copy: On Tuesday, November 26, Mrs. Lavina Coke Warner, the wife of Mr. David Warner, died at her residence, 1631 P Street N. W. The funeral services of the deceased were held at the Berean Baptist Church Friday, November 29. Mrs. Warner was well known in Washington, where she had lived and labored in philanthropic and church work for more than fifty years. She was the daughter of William and Emily Coke, distinguished and prominent residents of the District of Columbia, where their daughter was born and reared. From early childhood she took a deep interest in church work, and all efforts looking to the betterment of the condition of the poor and unfortunate. Fifty years ago she was married to Mr. David Warner, who is well known as one of the experts on the clerical force of the tax collector's office of the District of Columbia, where he served for forty-five years with great credit to himself and to his race. The funeral services over the body of Mrs. Warner was eloquently delivered by Rev. D. F. Rivers, pastor of the Berean Baptist Church, and most appropriate tributes were delivered by Rev. William James Howard and Rev. Milton Waldron. Judge Robert H. Terrell read a letter from Dr. Charles B. Purvis, formerly of this city, which paid a high tribute to the character and worth of Mrs. Warner. Judge Terrell also added a few words of appreciation of his own as a long-time friend of Mr. and Mrs. Warner. The interment was at Harmony cemetery. The pallbearers were Eugene Brooks, James W. Muse, H. H. Naylor, Harry Cornell, R. C. Douglass and Samuel W. Watson. The floral tributes were numerous and beautiful. They were sent by Judge and Mrs. Robert H. Terrell; Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Farley, Mr. and Mrs. Weaver, Berean Church Aid Society, Helping Circle of King's Daughters, Mrs. Henry Hurt, the widow of the former President of the Capitol Traction Company; Miss Fannie Gue, Dr. and Mrs. Charles B. Purvis, Mr. J. T. Petty, of the District Building; the clerks and other employees of the office of the Collector of Taxes, Mrs. Neal and family, Mrs. Mattie Costelley, Mr. and Mrs. Adam Eshlager, Mr. C. M. F. Browne, Mrs. Edna Berry Marshall, J. B. Loftus, Robert Nelson, Meta L. Warner. There was also a beautiful floral offering from Rev. and Mrs. W. N. Morton, and Mr. David Warner, Mrs. Morton was formerly Miss Lena Coke, the sister of the deceased. The following is the letter sent by Dr. Charles B. Purvis, who was an intimate friend of the Warner family for more than fifty years: Boston, November 27th, 1918. Dear Mr. Warner: The moment your wire came to me I sent you a letter to express my sympathy for you over the loss of your dear wife. Upon reflection I feel I should send an addendum, which I now attempt to do. I have known Mrs. Warner for over fifty years. Her unselfish life impressed me as few lives have. By nature she was retiring and free from a desire to be what is called popular; notwithstanding these traits of character, she was deeply interested in every movement that had for its object the uplift of the unfortunate in the community. She identified herself with a number of undertakings. When she was young, scarcely more than a girl, when I became acquainted with her, she was working in a building known as the Barracks, where sewing was done for the freed people. Later she was connected with other charities. She was one of the active ones in establishing upon Meridian Hill a home for homeless girls. This institution was kept alive for a number of years mainly by her individual efforts. Few persons know of the splendid work she did in behalf of the unfortunate girls who came under her care; her compensation was in the conscious feeling that she was working for humanity. How unselfish and noble were her efforts; she was one of the managers of the Colored Orphan Home. As a church worker she was untiring; she was a member of the Berean Baptist Church, and her connection has been of long standing. The success attending this church is in a large measure due to her untiring efforts. To this edifice, erected for the promulgation of truth, of Christian ideas, and principles God planted the spirit of Mrs. Warner; her precept and example is worthy of the emulation of all men and women; her contributions to the community in which she lived show that the coming was a harbinger of peace. If I should single out any effort made by her as being more striking than any other, I would mention her quiet CREDIT TO ALL —AΓ— DODEK'S There are many advantages in dealing at Dodek's.

I cannot enumerate the Sunday mornings I have seen her send by her loving husband a basket of freshly cooked food to some poor woman who was less fortunate than herself. These errands of mercy were always performed before she prepared to go to church. As I watched these sympathetic efforts, I felt that if we were to be known by our works, then Mrs. Warner is well known to Him, the Master of Men. The dear friend of the poor, of unfortunate children, has past from our midst to receive the reward that she richly deserves. The physical woman has gone, but her spirit remains. It will ever be held in sacred memory by those who knew her and by those who have benefited by her helping hand, Christian spirit, and unselfish devotion to the cause of humanity. Sincerely yours. Charles B. Purvis. CARD OF THANKS. Mr. William P. Russ, one of the most prosperous and well known citizens of Charles Town, W. Va., wishes through The Bee to express his many thanks and deep appreciation to Mr. Clarence M. De Veile, of 1014 W Street N. W., who so highly entertained him Thanksgiving week. He says that through Mr. De Veile, his friend, and well known business man of Washington, he had from seven to ten engagements every day and night. Among those who gave dinners and teas in honor of him were his brother and sister-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Preston Russ, of 3005 Sherman Avenue, and his sister-in-law and her husband, Mr. and Mrs. Edward Whitley, of 770 Harvard Street. Mr. Russ says he came to this city to spend only two days with Attorney De Veile, but his hospitality and the pretty girls of Washington which he met compelled him to remain a week longer. Preparatory to Mr. William P Russ leaving for West Virginia last Monday night, Mr. Clarence M. De Veile gave in his honor one of the finest receptions ever witnessed. All had a happy time, and enjoyed a toothsome repast. Among the noted guests present were Dr. George W. Rutherford, Miss Evelyn Davis, Miss Alice E. Hill, Miss Ruth Carey, Miss Anderson, Miss Viola Gordon and Miss E. Lucinda Johns. PEOPLE'S FUNERAL CORPORATION. The Bee is of the opinion that it is about time this corporation was making a report. There is a great deal of dissatisfaction among the stockholders and quite likely the courts will be asked for an investigation. The Bee would like to ask a few questions on its own responsibility: How many pieces of rolling stock has this corporation? How is the money banked in this corporation? A change will be asked in the personnel of this corporation.
