JAMES S. CHAPMAN IN NOR FOLK, VIRGINIA.
Supreme Grand Secretary of the Ancient Order of the Knights and Daughters of Jerusalem Entertaincd—Norfolk Delegates Endorse Exalted Ruler Bundy for Grand Exalted Ruler at the Next Election—A Layman Demanded.
Norfolk, Va., Feb. 12.—On invitation from St. John's Commandery of the Supreme Grand Lodge of the Ancient Order of the Knights and Daughters of Jerusalem of Norfolk, Va., entertained Wednesday evening, February 12th, Lincoln's Birthday, Supreme Grand Secretary of the Ancient Order of the Knights and Daughters of Jerusalem. It was a most brilliant event. Exalted Ruler of Eureka Lodge, I. B. P. O. E. W., and Portsmouth Lodge was well represented. Grand Secretary Chapman delivered two addresses, one in the morning and the other at 7:30 p.m. The Knights of Jerusalem turned out in force, and were the hosts of the Elks in Norfolk and Portsmouth, Va. At this reception and the trend of the speeches were for the election of a big layman as Grand Exalted Ruler of the Elks of the World, and that layman pointed to Exalted Ruler
M.
Edward G. Bundy, of Columbia Lodge, No. 85, of the District of Columbia. Exalted Ruler Bundy was highly complimented and given credit for the establishing of a home in the District of Columbia, under the supervision of Columbia Lodge. They are going to put Bundy over, declared Grand Secretary Chapman. It was Mr. Chapman who was appointed deputy under T. Giles Nut-
ter of West Virginia, and who served one year and removed without notice under Exalted Ruler Scott in the middle of his term. Supreme Secretary Chapman is a strong supporter of E. W. Bundy of Columbus Lodge, No. 85. The reception tendered the knights by the members of the Knights of Jerusalem, with the two large lodges of Elks of Norfolk and Portsmouth, Va., was an evidence of the esteem in which he is held by these organizations. No man has ever been better entertained than Supreme Secretary Chapman. His speeches and those of the Elks at this banquet were for a layman to head the Elks. Lawyers have been leading long enough, remarked some, now let the layman lead and the lawyer advise. This will be the topic at next convention of Elks, and Bundy is their choice.
Rev. Fr. J. H. Dorsey of Dorsey, a Colored Priest, to Lecture Here.
Under the auspices of the Holy Name Guild, the Rev. Fr. Dorsey will give a lecture, "Some Burning Topics of the Hour," at Howard Theater, on Sunday, February 23, at 2:15 p.m. Father Uncles, another colored priest, is also expected to be present on this occasion. A splendid program is being arranged, Judge Robert Terrell of the Municipal Court will be one of the speakers. Mr. Harry Nugent will render a vocal solo, and a special chorus will render selections.
As this is probably the first time in the history of the city that there has been two colored priests present at one time in any gathering, the Holy Name Guild, together with the fact that it is giving you an opportunity to hear a race man in a wonderful lecture, is also giving to many Washingtonians their first glimpse of a Catholic priest of the race.
One-third of the net proceeds of this, meeting is, for the benefit of St. Joseph's Orphanage of Baltimore. Cards of admission may be obtained from the office of the Guild, 1743 13th street, evenings from 7:30 to 10:30, and from St. Augustine's rectory, 1118 15th street. Reserved seats, 35 cents; general admission, 25 cents.
Thousands Greet Him and Hear His Thrilling War Story.
Indianapolis, Ind., February 17.—Ralph W. Tyler, the returned war correspondent, addressed two capacity audiences here Sunday and this evening, under the auspices of the Colored Branch, Y. M. C. A. From here he went to Columbus, where he is scheduled to speak under the auspices of the Baptist Brotherhood, the 19th, and at Dayton, Ohio, the 20th; for the Ladies' Soldiers' Aid Society on the 21st, he speaks at Pittsburgh, under the auspices of the Colored Masons; at Cleveland, the 24th, under the auspices of the Phillis Wheatley Association; March 2d, at New York, for the New York News Charity Bureau; March 3d, at Baltimore, at Bethel A. M. E. Church. From Baltimore he will go to Washington to spend several days prior to his engagement at Toledo, Ohio, March 12th. A number of cities in this state have requested him to return and fill engagements.

The board of directors of the Y. M. P. L. met last Wednesday evening at the residence of Dr. S. M. Pierre, 2124 L. Street N. W. After the regular order of business and the

Colored Troops Complimented for Their Good Behavior by Mayors of French Towns.
Corporal Joseph T. Lee writes to his pastor, Rev. E. Thomas Broadus, of Zion Baptist Church, Deanwood. He and Ernest Branch are members of the above-named church, and also members of Battery D, 349th Field Artillery, still in France. These young men are active workers in the Ushers Board of the church. Deacon Tyler Lee is its honored president. His mother, Mrs. Louisa Lee, is an active worker in all the departments of the church.
Mrs. Lina Branch, the mother of Ernest Branch (who also holds a commission) is a real mother and a faithful worker in Zion.
Besides mentioning their good health and their efforts to be good Christians, Corporal Josephus Tyler Lee sends the following letters from mayors of the towns in which their regiment has stopped during their stay in France:

Montmorillion, Aug. 12, 1918. Dear Colonel: At the occasion of your departure, permit me to express to you my regrets and those of the whole population. From the very day of its arrival your regiment, by its behavior and its military appearance, excited the admiration of all of us. Of the sojourn of yourself and your colored soldiers amongst us we will keep the best memory and re-
election of officers for the ensuing year, the members repaired to the dining room to enjoy a surptuous repast, prepared by Dr. and Mrs. Pierre.

Lewis, Richmond Milton, William H. Fortune, William H. Carter, Jr., Arthur F. Boston, James Williams, and Samuel Pierce, Jr.
GREAT MEETINGS.
The celebration of the third anniversary of the Davis Memorial Mission (Theomonistic). 38 Myrtle Street N. E., began last Thursday evening, February 20, and will continue to February 24, inclusive. There were two meetings Sunday. February 23, at 4 p. m. and 7:30 p. m., at which papers on the following subjects were read: Death, Immortality and the Final Destiny of Men. The program was literary and musical. The subjects read were handled by some of Washington's most liberal and advanced thinkers. Messages were given to those who were present within the first hour of the meeting. These messages had a bearing on the past, present and future of the person to whom they are given, as viewed in the light
member your regiment as a picked one.
From the beginning a real brotherhood was established between your soldiers and our people, who were glad to welcome the gallant allies of our France.
Having learned to know them, the whole population holds them in great esteem and we all join in saying the best of them.
I hope that the white troops, replacing your regiment, will give us equal satisfaction; but, whatever their attitude may be, they cannot surpass your 349th Field Artillery.
Please accept the assurance of my best and most distinguished feelings.

PUBLIC MEN AND THINGS.
Whenever a set of men and women organizers attempt to organize an exclusive society you can just bet that it is composed of a set of outcast interlopers. Real society people and people of high birth don't have to advertise themselves as the exclusive. Take many of the so-called exclusive societies that have been attempted in this city and investigate the home reputation and character of their members, and the result is most startling. Every newcomer to this city, who has no standing at home, will attempt to organize an exclusive society. Some time ago I named the real people of Washington and warned the better class against this social outcast. Take up and sift these proselites and tell me your opinion of them. They stand for nothing; they can do less, and they are outcasts at their own homes. This recent scandal, in which so many prominent and well known people figure, is composed of outsiders or the newcomers. Some time ago a few Washingtonians were fooled into one or two of these mushroom social organizations, but they soon made their exit. I remember a few years ago, a department clerk from Detroit, Mich. secured an appointment under the District government. He was married to a female who had been twice divorced and he had several charming admirers on the outside. He took upon himself to blackball a reputable citizen by preventing him from being inyited to what he called a select social function. Such high-handed acts were very prevalent in this city in '89 and '90. These high functionaries have passed to the great beyond. Society is more cosmopolitan now. The color question is not so prevalent now. The half whites are now seeking the blacks and high browns. The recent war has brought on a reaction in the social circle.
My friend, Royal Hughes, assumes a Chesterfieldian air nowadays. His tailor-made clothing give him an appearance that he never possessed before. Royal takes life easy, and he has decided that a bachelor's life is the most congenial and best life to live. Royal says that you have no responsibility as a bachelor; you have no one to boss you or to dictate to you; if conditions arise that you are pressed you don't have divorce bills to answer. You go to church, say your prayers and ask the Lord to forgive you of your sins of omission and commission; you have no legal ties to bind you. Some day Royal says he may make up his mind and turn crazy. What he means by that he didn't explain to the Sage, but you can imagine what he means. Royal is good company and an excellent entertainer. Jesse Foster says Royal did certainly have his goat at one time, but when the turning point came he foreclosed and took all Royal had and was paid compound interest. You know, Jesse Foster is a lightning calculator now. He can count cash with his eyes closed and his ears stopped up, and balance your account in his favor. It was a long time before Jesse got his eyes fully opened, and since then they have never been closed.
Speaking about Royal Hughes: He had a partner by the name of Augustus Gray. Gray and Royal were a pair that you could not match. There is one thing about these two aces, they are hard to catch. They don't

have to employ a white lawyer to help them in the defense of their clients. Their papers are always carefully prepared. They are like my old ancient friend, Joseph H. Stewart. Joe is getting a little careless in his old age. He used to wear his hair with a pompadour and trousers well creased; he had a military air, and other high qualities that commanded admiration. The two aces have taken all of that from Joe. They employ special high-class tailors to carry in fabrics to adorn their bodies.
Charley tipped arrived from Columbus, Ohio, last Thursday, morning for a brief visit. He brought with him a suspicious-looking bottle, purporting to contain a full quart of rare old whisky, distilled down in the mountains of Kentucky, about the time Dr. Williston got his "forty-four-year-old in the wood" brand. Charley presented the suspicious looking bottle, properly labeled, etc., as a present to the judge from Ralph W. Tyler and William H. Litchford. Judge, it is said, greeted with a "smile that won't come off" the bottle, thanked Charley profusely for carting it to him on a Pullman car for more than 600 miles. To Judge it was a life-saver, now that Washington is a Sahara. He told Walter Singleton about it. He eased the information over to that twentieth century spendthrift, John C. Daney—he, the judge, invited a few select beauties esprits and connoisseurs to his home to sample this rare old vintage sent him from Columbus, Ohio. He dexteriously, and carefully removed the cork, remarked about the bead on the fluid, indicating age, and smiled and smacked his lips as he poured "two fingers" of the supposed elixir of life into a glass. Then he raised the glass to his lips, took a long, health-giving and taste-satisfying draught. But, alas! This "rare old vintage" was nothing but tea—just ordinary, every-day. Sir Thomas Lipton tea. The judge, in consesuence, has sworn off—declares he will never again, while renominations for continuous terms as municipal judge continue in vogue, drink, taste or touch another drop of—of TEA. "And the joke is on our judge. Every one he meets now is asking him how he likes tea "made in Columbus" and shipped on Pullman sleeper, in care of Charles R. Hall the modern jokesmith.
The big music publishing house of Carl Fisher, New York city, sends the writer a letter under date of February 5, 1919, as follows:
Dear Sir: The undersigned has lately mailed you a set of so-called Bandana Sketches for violin and piano in which a number of well known Negro spirituals have been transcribed in ideal fashion. The fact that these transcriptions are the work of an Afro-American composer adds considerable interest, and we trust that the excellence of his settings may prompt you to favor them with an early review: It would be greatly appreciated and we would thank you for sending us a clipping of any mention you would make of same. Very truly yours.
Carl Fisher. (By A. G.) The numbers referred to are as follows: "Bandana Sketches" (four
Negro spirituals), by Clarence Cameron White, for violin and piano, viz.: No. 1, chant "Nobody Knows de Trouble I've Seen." No. 2, lament, "I'm Troubled in Mind." No. 3, slave song, "Many Thousand Gone." No. 4., Negro dance, "Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child."
These numbers shall be reviewed later through the columns of The Music Master magazine and The Bee. We are well acquainted with Mr. White, the composer, having first met him on his first concert tahr in Boston, Mass., several years since, in his initial effort after returning from study abroad. We knew him then as a rising musician of rare attainments, destined to play a splendid part on the concert platform, and that opinion has been broadened in after years, resultant of his broader musicianly culture, poise and artistic ability. We feel, it an honor of the house of Carl Fisher, unworthily bestowed, perhaps, requesting a public reviewal of this work, but shall give it our earnest consideration in the meantime.
We are greatly interested in the church choir. We have an abundance of them, too, but in quality they number few indeed. How sorry I feel for our colored churches—such splendid edifices and some few splendid preachers, with such absolutely "rotten" singing in them. And what shames me is that no effort whatever upon the part of officials is being made to improve conditions. Who would always hear "great sermons" and no "great" singing, i.e., singing that would inspire the soul, uplift the broken-hearted and dignify the service of God to a higher standard. Much more could and will be said on this later.
"The Bells of Emancipation." Negro spiritual., by Henry Williams of Duluth, Minn., has been received by us, the words of which follow:
"Let my people go, oh, let my people go;
We'd ask Him to unlock the chains and let my people go.
Oh; Lord, hear our prayers, is all we ask.
Pray on, my people. God is our friend;
He hears our pleading, pray on to the end.

He knows our struggles in this wicked world.
Oh, pray on, my people, God is our friend."

Open Letter From Sergt. Greenleaf B. Johnson, Company B, 372 Infantry, to Hon. Moorefield Storey, President National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.
Dear Sir:—The soldier begs to call the attention of your organization to the exigency for the establishment and permanent maintenance of a separate United States army hospital for colored soldiers, commanded by colored officers, supplied with colored soldier corps men and furnished with colored nurses, and to point out several of the salient reasons featuring such necessity: Prominent among these reasons is the not infrequent complaint of colored soldiers of alleged mis-treatment and unjust discrimination against them in the exercise of unpatriotic race prejudice and wanton cruelty exhibited on the part of white nurses and corps men to their helpless Negro patients, and apparently sequestered by hospital authorities.
pinned in the Wardrobe of Columbia,
which is recently discussed in a
new book, to the very race journ-
lise. His betrayal and glory sweet
would have begun the author's death
or no man's land! than the cruel
thirst of a treatment that he rec-
ceived at the hands of those in Wal-
ter's mind. That has a reward for
his sacrifice in his country's battle-
field! This is inju-tice!
While a vast number of white surgeons have been added to the army's hospital force since the time inducted into the service since the late war was declared—are being retained in service, and our own efficient and patriotic Negro surgeons and corps men who have sacrificed lucrative practice and positions, and dedicated their services for years in National Guard organizations, and have rendered signal service to their country, before and throughout the late war, will be speedily instered out of the service. Since they have been defenders throughout the crisis, why reduce them to aliens in times of peace? Why make them a co-worker in suffering and sacrifice and refuse them a share in the service and earning capacity of the aftermath? This is discrimination!
Our own precious Negro women—a young army of trained nurses—who have done their bit at home and had the legal tender of their services abroad to nurse American soldiers refused, are praying and knocking incessantly at the closed gates of opportunity guarded by the white sentinel of racial discrimination, for the privilege to serve and to share in salaries paid by the United States Government for such service, in consideration of the war risk premiums paid by Negro service men! Why not make it a mutual (democratic) concern, and give Negro women nurses a share in the equity of the pay premiums deducted monthly from Negro service men's salaries and allow our women also to take out insurance policies like white women are allowed to do in the army? Give our Negro women the same practical experience as the whites, which is so desirable, that should our country be chastened again by conflict, our women will be already listed to accompany their brethren into the field of action, and our Negro soldiers will never again be subjected to the indignities, neglect and pitiless cruelty of white nurses and attendants in army hospitals. This is infamous and repulsive.
Why not establish for Negro soldiers under the tutelage of the government a welfare and recreation house, since they cannot enjoy (nor do they relish) the entertainments and social functions that are given to white soldiers? There the scattered efforts and miscellaneous endeavors of Negro women's clubs, fraternities and colored churches could be consolidated and the effect would be salutary and satisfactory. This is tagation without representation.
Finally, the vast sum of money that Negro insured men will pay into the War Risk Insurance Fund for the next three decades will mount to over two billion dollars, conservatively figured. During all this time Negro service men will be wards in United States hospitals. Yet, as matters stand now, white salaries through this stretch of years, and Negro surgeons, corps men, and Negro women will be told to be good and quiet. Should not the race demand recognition in this equity of salaries? Will it be denied them? Why not the race request the government to designate a portion of Freedman's Hospital here in the District for Negro soldiers, and assign our Negro surgeons, to duty there instead of consigning them to the garbage heap or to perdition and be damned? Rescue our perishing
and abused soldiers from Walter Reed Hospital!
The soldier cites the case of Capt. Alfred Ridgley, the ranking officer of the Medical Corps of the 372nd Infantry, A. E. F., now en route to the United States. Captain Ridgley, a native of the District of Columbia, a self-made man, a high-class, reputable physician and surgeon, who gave his services for years to the Negro National Guard Battalion of the District—the senior Negro National Guard organization of the country—who has proved his fidelity in the Mexican Border crisis and in the late war. Why not ask the government to raise Captain Ridgely to the rank of major in the United States Medical Corps, and give him the command over such separate hospital as a fitting reward and recognition of his high and patriotic service. Why not our colored army surgeons, according to their rank and grade he retained for such service. Success to the idea. I am, sincerely yours.

NEW YORK AND NEW JERSEY
ISSUE NATIONAL CALL
To Federate All Colored Organizations and to Maintain Representatives at Washington to Watch and Work for Reconstruction at Home.
New York, N. Y., Feb. 19.—Hundreds of thousands of our boys went across for our country—now let us ask our country to come across for them.
Let us federate for mutual understanding, mutual interest and mutual gain every colored club and all organizations of every kind throughout the United States, so our twelve million people may be speak their united demands, so we may be in position to "fight for the things we have held nearest our hearts—democracy"—for the right of those who submit to authority to have voice in their own government.
Nations are federating, labor is federating, and racial units all over the world are corrollating and centralizing their power and influence for protection—why not we?
In this movement to federate, no organization is called upon to lose its identity, to sacrifice a single one of its principles or to cease its labor. Governments, societies, church denominations and fraternities all get their power by centralizing and pushing forward their aims and policies—then in the spirit of "all for one and one for all." let us establish unity within the race; and the social, industrial and political obstacles which we have suffered in the past will crumble before a determined, enlightened, united advance. What say you?
Will you help in the reconstruction at home? Will you meet in a non-partisan conference on March 20th and 21st in New York City and help determine the proper course? Notice of meeting place will be given later.
Let every club, every society, every organization, fraternal or otherwise, send representation. Let the churches and the press join in with representation, and let us start from here to really, get somewhere.
The representatives to be sent and kept in Washington will serve each participating organization, so that your matter may receive immediate, first-hand consideration.
On to Washington for the untrammeled right of the ballot, for our human, industrial and political justice!
First, let us protest against the hypocrisy of American democracy, as demonstrated in (a) denying the Negro the absolute rights and privileges as citizens; (b) making him the victim of the undemocratic system of segregation, the 20th century slavery; (c) the State and Federal operation of the nefarious, Jim-crow car system; (d) depriving him of the opportunity of education in the Southern States; (e) exploiting his labor and holding him in practical peonage in the Southern States; (f) depriving him of the right of gainful occupation in Northern States; (g) depriving him of the right of trial by a jury of his peers; (h) excluding him from a voice in the government though exacting from him the full performance of his duty as a citizen and soldier to the supreme sacrifice in defense of his government; (i) to protest against denying him his full share, according to numerical strength, in the reorganization of the United States Army; (j) making him the victim of relentless persecutions, lynchings and burnings at the stake.
Second, to demand the right of the ballot in every State of the Union and the enforcement of the Federal Constitution, especially the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments thereto.

Such is the aim voiced by the Roosevelt Permanent Memorial National Committee, which has opened offices on the twenty-ninth floor of No. 1 Madison Avenue, New York. In a statement issued by the committee it was made clear that the members of the committee will remain open-minded for many months in the exact form to be taken by the memorial, and promise to give all suggestions from sources outside the committee the most careful consideration. It was further explained that the administration expenses of the committee would be boring by separate subscriptions, and that "every penny given for the memorial will be spent for a memorial."
Contributions to the memorial fund are solicited and will be promptly acknowledged and deposited with the treasurer, Albert H. Wiggin of the Chase National Bank.

At a meeting this afternoon (Monday) at the residence of Mrs. Walter R. Tuckerman, at Edgmoor, under the auspices of the American Committee for Relief in the Near East, Sergeant Alexander T. Coubrough, of the Australian Anzaes, a scarred veteran of the Gallipoli campaign, told the story of the sufferings of the Armenian refugees, who were landed in Egypt while his battalion was in training at Alexandria. Although a week ahead of the District of Columbia Near East Relief Drive, which starts here next Sunday, there was a spontaneous offering of contributions at the meeting this afternoon following the recital of the story by Sergeant Coubrough. Those contributing were Mrs. Lyle, Mrs. Fred Casky, Mrs. Edward L. Stock, Mrs. C. E. Duck, Mrs. D. J. Williams, Mrs. A. W. Chapman, Mrs. H. W. Dodge, Mrs. D. H. Tibbots, Mrs. Haines, Mrs. W. W. Gill, Mrs. E. G. Johnson, Mrs. F. C. Wallace, Mrs. James Kirkpatrick and Mr. Samuel Herrick.
Volunteer workers are beginning to offer their services for the cause in large numbers, and promise is given of widespread help. Monday night Sergeant Coubrough spoke before an audience at Howard Theater.

BEGINS WORK ON THE ROOSEVELT MEMORIAL
Committee Issues Call for Contributions and Suggestions for Permanent and "Dynamic" Monument to the Colonel.
New York, Feb. 10.—The permanent memorial to be erected by nation-wide popular subscription to the memory of Theodore Roosevelt must "not be merely a thing of stone and bronze," but, "like Theodore Roosevelt him elf, it must be dynamic."
Committee's Statement.
The statement issued by the committee says in part:
"The Roosevelt Permanent Memorial National Committee consists exclusively of men and women who were in one way or another closely associated with Col. Roosevelt. They knew him in public life and, at home; they knew better than any one else outside his immediate family what he loved and what he hated, what he stood for and what he stood firmly against, among them they represent every phase of his extraordinary and many-sided career. If any group, therefore, can say what would be the wish of Theodore Roosevelt in regard to a national memorial to him, this committee should be able to do it.
"Theodore Roosevelt believed in the people; that means that he believed in the sound horse sense of the average American. It is only just to his memory, therefore, that the American people whom he implicitly trusted and who trusted and followed him should have every opportunity to express their preference concerning the form that their memorial to him should take.
"The committee has no idea what that form will be." It knows only this, that the memorial which the American people ultimately dedicate to Theodore Roosevelt must not be merely a thing of stone and bronze. Like Theodore Roosevelt himself, it must be dynamic. Roosevelt never stood still, and it would be treason to his spirit if this memorial should not have in it some of the creative energy of the man it seeks to honor. In some way it must help to build the new and better America.
"Roosevelt the man is dead, but Roosevelt the energizing spirit is very much alive. It is the aim of the memorial committee, with the aid of Colonel Roosevelt's friends and supporters all over the country, to find some effective way of putting that spirit to work."
First Contributor Capt. Bourke.
The honor of making the first contribution to the memorial fund fell to Capt. Edward F. Bourke of the Thirty-third Precinct Police Seation, who served under Colonel Roosevelt when the latter was Police Commissioner of New York City, and who accompanied a $10 contribution with a letter expressing his appreciation of the Americanism of the former

COLORED ARMY SURGEONS IN SERVICE.
It has been the invariable policy of The Bee to safeguard the
hest interests’ of the race, and in the march-of events to definé those
opportunities big with destiny and. fraught with wholesome purpose
that make’ for distinct gains for the race, whether local or national,
and to offer remedial suggestions in the elucidation.and ameliora-
tion of all- matters, present and -practical, in the settlement ofthe
ptegram for our future well-being. The Bee endorses that portion
of a letter of Sergt. Grechleaf B: Johnson, Company B, 372d Infan-
try, A. E..F., to Hon. Moorefield. Storey, president of the National
Association for the Advancement of Colored People, calling the-at-
tention of that organization to the necessity of considering the feasi-
vility of petitioning the War Departrnent or the Executive to estab-
‘ish and maintain “a -separate hospital—yea, the designation of a
portion of Freedmian’s Hospital, in the District of Columbia (forthe
present, until! such. new.separate army hospital can be’ built), :to be
commandered and ‘officered by our patriotic, ‘distinguished, worthy
and capable‘colored surgeons now in the service, and who will be
thrown out unless we as are loyal enough and. forceable enotigh to
forestall the design. of the department to ignore the services of our
noble.sons; who have, shared. in thé treadmill of toil, through the
dangers and the concommitant phases of war, and established their
fidelity, valor and skill beyond a reasonable doubt. A like fate
awaits our medical corps-meri. Bf ,
This initial plan of The Bee also embraces a, plea for justice
to, our host of noble colored women who espoused the vocation of
nursing with an éye single to entéring thé setvice—a: vocation
which until our noble, women had the cold water of refusal thrown
on their fervent request to s¢rve, the spirit of the times strongly
“invited. : : : .
If.complaints are true as to mistreatment of our colored sol:
diers by white attendants in Government hospitals, surely it must
add strerigth’ to this appeal to create an opportunity for our sur-
georis to-serve and our women to be gratified, arid, above all; for our
-colored .heroes, -who will-receive the treatment due them, made
glorious and.sanctified when adininistered by the skillful brain. and
tender hands of their own race. : 7
_ In the mustering out of colored surgeons we are facing’a stitb-
born fact that calls for drastic. action, prompt and yigorous protest:
We should, not wait until our brave surgeons comes home to-.re-
ceive ‘their reward in an honorable discharge. . We should ask now
that the Government retain in service as many of the men as prac-
“tical to meet the complex needs of the complex period of reconstruc-
tion’and. the emergencies of normal conditions of the future.. Shall
junior white surgeons be‘tetained and senior colored surgeons bid-
den to retire? Shall white surgeons, nurses and corps men be sal-
aried by the depaftment from the many millions of dollars that |
colored service men pay into the War Risk Bureau aid our coloréd’ |
surgeons; corps men'and nurses be denied the equity in the earn- |
ing capacity that they are so largely qualified to fill? Is this, insuf- '
ferable condition not, the minority being ruled by arbitrary power ,
without a voice in the :governing-affairs, or without redress, that ,
out President is declaring: to the world should. be abolished? Is it |
equity?, Is it justice? Is it democracy? Let-us estimaté that’ out -%
vt 400,000 Negro men in service, that one-half of them-are’ insured. !
in the War Risk atthe nominal premitim of $5 per month.. Then ~
we have 200,000 service men paying’$1,000,000 per month to swell
the department's: funds, or $12,000,000 annually. Let us assume
that for at least fifty years some of these insured colored, men will
Le wards of the Government liospitals, and the fact that not'a single
Negru surgeon, corps man or nurse-of the colored.race are employed
in a professional or earning capacity: It strikes.us that we ‘dre
“asleep at the switch” in this matter: We agree with Sergeant
Johnson that. this is “taxation without representation.” , We will go
one better, though,’ and urge a separate army hospital for Negro
service men and ask that a Negro surgeon head the personnel with : .
rank of colonel. We ask for immediate temporary establishment; |
and legislative appropriation to further the project. :
The Bee, therefore, .bids the Negro press hearken‘-to the call in
the interest of-thé race, to secure such reognition by petition, legis-:
lation or ‘executive act as will establish such sepatate army hospital |
under direction of the Secretary of -War, and convert into the chan- |
nels of the race through their earning capacity’ a portion of this
vast sum of. money, that-is paid in salaries to white attendants,
whose services Negro soldiers-claim is not always what it should be. |’
_ Tn furtherance of this proposition, The Bee earnestly:calls upon
all Negro organizations, churches, lodges, clubs and ‘educational in-
stitutions for their united.and hearty cooperation.. We believe that | s
ao.time is more: propitious ‘than the present, no place tore sug-|¢
gestive or advantageous, than the Capital City of Washington, D. C. |i
Let each minister take the matter to his congregation tomorrow. | 7
Stirély a people could not -render.a more worshipful service to the fi
Divine Arbiter of Justice than to dedicate a portion of it to uplift }o

JUSTICE VINDICATED.
‘The National Association for: the
Advancement of Colored - People
through its secretary, John R.. Shil:
lady, makes the following - statement
regarding the final victory in a fight
which lasted tiearly @ decade:
Gow! Richard I. Manning's parole
granted in January “during good be-
havior” of Pink Franklin marks the
final chapter iy a fight’ begun nearly
nine years ago by the National As:
sociation “to” secure the freedom of
Franklin, a young Negro farm-hand
who was tried in “South Carolina
during the summer of: 1910 for kill-
ing a white constable who broke into
his cabin at 3 o'clock in the morning
to arrest him for breaking ‘an."agri-
cultural contract”. ‘his case is of
unusual. interest -as it was the first
legal redress ‘ease undertaken by the
association, ‘then in its infancy. The
following facts regarding the case
‘are quoted from the first annual -re~
port of the association, pitblished
January 1, 19112 |
“Our legal redress work was in-
augurated last summer by the pres-|
entation to Gov. Martin F. Ansel
of South Carolina of a petition far
pardon “from the death sentence of
Pink Franklin, a plantation hand,
who had violated a so-called ‘agri-
cultural contract’ (these" contracts|
constituting the ‘peonage'-laws of
most of the’ southern’ states), and
who shot the constable sent to ar-
+ rest him’ two months -after the -of-
fense was committed. ‘This con-
stable, H. H. Valentine by. name,
Broke into: -Franklin’s cabin at 3
o'clock in the morning, with drawn
pistol, without announcing that he
“was an officer of the law, and
Ffanklin shot him, in defense of his
home. - On January 6, 1911, Gov.
Ansel commuted Franklin’s _ sen-!
tence to life imprisonment, but the
_ association. will not cease: its ef-
“forts té “free Franklin, from
prison.”. es H
After saying Franklin's [ifs the as-|
sociation ‘continued its fight to |
ure his release from-prison.. In this
it was aided by certain, white citi-|
zens’ of South, Carolina, who did!
much in the latter stages of the long!
ight, but who ‘desire to rémain ai-t
ynymous and ask that they merely |
}e known as men, who, “loving jus-|
ice and having sympathy for the’!
veak and lowly, -interestel themselves i
nthe case.” Tt was -throngh the,
ersistent efforts’ of these. men that}.
he final: victory, was won:
after, the commutation of Heal
n’s death sentence to life imprison-1
ment, the next succéssful step was
the “commutation” of life sentence
by the then governor, Cole Blease,
to: ninety-nine years'‘on the Ofange-
burg county. chain gang. The third
and last step was Franklin’s. parole
“during good behavior,” which
makes him" practically a free -man.
Franklin's parole was the last official
act’ of Richard, I. Manning's second
term as governor of South Carolina.

With regard to the $100,000,000 re-
cently appropriated by Congress for

desires ‘to’. inform’ prospective ton-
tributogs: to’ the Near East Relief
Fund that disbursemerits made by
Mr. Hoover from the congressional
appropriation’ wil in almost every:
instance bé on good security, so. that
the Federal Government will eventu-

money so expended. The $30,000,000
fund being. raised by the American

sharity to starving peoples who will
share but meagerly, if at all, in the

DR. -, TURNER MAKES DIS-
COVERY.”
Philadelphia Physician’ Presents -to
the United States Governmient and
". Medical Profession a New’ But
Simple Remedy for the Relief of
Dropsy.’-
Br John PL "Turner of Chiladel
phia for the past cighteen month:
has bees quietly perfecting a treat
ment that gives 100 per cent succes:
sin the relief of dropsical, swelling:
oi the feet, ankles, legs’ and thighs
and many) doctors throughout ‘the
United States, are new ‘using the
reniedy. * *
“Everybody stands in dread o
dropsy. ‘It is,a symptoni that causes
intense suffering: and. distress wher
advanced, “It ix usually the result
of heart of kidney. disease.
~ We can all picture the poor un-
fortunate “who has been bedfast for
several weeks. suffering with Bright's
disease. His. feet," and legs’ are
swollen and he is so short of breath
he cair't’ lie down: He presents a
picture of absolute despair: [twas
at the bedside of just such a case
that, Dr. ‘Turner ‘resolved. to” find
something that would bring relief to
such sufferers The thing first of all
terdo was: to take away the swelling
tremove the water from the tissues),
As’ a physician, hE Knew about the,
theory of Osmosis, “as taught in
chemistry. Working on. this, he used.
a hot concentrated solution of mag+
nesium sulphate | locally on the
swollen. parts’. with, the | steaming
and soaking: process used, taking an
honr for a treatment, the swelling
had csitirely disappeared in ‘twenty?
fdur hours. -During this period
there ‘were three tfeatments.
Scores of Obstinate cases’ Have
been treated, and the: swelling com
pletely relieved by Dr. Turner. Many
physicians -throughout . the country
are enthusiastic about the treatment.
lor. ‘Turner has presented -his discov-
ery to the United States Govern-
ment for the treatment of returning?
soldiers from overseas. It is a fact
as a result’ of exposure. in the
trenches, many of otir men are -suf-
ferers ‘of Bright's disease, with thé
accompanyitig swelling...
Dr: Turner was born at Raleigh,
N.C. He'has practiced. medicine in
Philadelphia during the-past thirteen
years. The “Doctor is the: first col-
ored physician ‘to be appointed medi
cal inspector of public schools, of
Philadelphia, position he has held
sincé 1912, He is vice president df
he: National» Medical “Association

Mr. Joseph Jackson was in the city this week to attend the funeral of Rev. Hawkins, his sister's husband, and to accompany his remains to Orange, Va.
DEATH OF REV. ROBERT HAWKINS.
Rev. Robert J. Hawkins, pastor of Trinidad Baptist Church, Bladensburg Road, died at his residence Sunday evening, February 16th, at 8:30 o'clock. Rev. Hawkins had been in failing health for some time from over work. He struggled hard to secure his present church building, and he made many sacrifices, which greatly endangered his health. His funeral took place from the McKinley Memorial Baptist Church Wednesday afternoon at 1 o'clock.
Rev. Wood acted as master of ceremonies. He called for the singing of hymn No. 648, "Servant, Thy Work Is Well Done. Rev. Brent read the scripture, and was followed by Dr. Matthews, who led in prayer. Dr. Harvey called for the hymn, "Asleep in Jesus," which was followed by a paper from the Trinidad Baptist Church, of which Rev. Hawkins was pastor. Dr. W. J. Howard read a set of preambles and resolutions from the Ministers' Conference, signed by Revs: Taylor, Loving and Holloman.
The Odd Fellows presented a paper giving a brief history of Rev. Hawkins' connection with that organization, and Osceola Lodge, No. 2235. Rev. Dr. Marshall read a paper, and a song by Rev. Garfield, in which the congregation joined in the chorus. Rev. S. G. Lampkins was introduced and delivered one of the most eloquent and scholarly sermons that has been delivered by any minister of the gospel. His eloquence brought tears from the eyes of the people. At the conclusion of his sermon many ministers and friends of the family were introduced, and spoke of the excellent qualities of Rev. Hawkins and his great work in the church, namely, Dr. Howard, Rev. Holloman, Rev. Lewis, Editor W. Calvin Chase and others.
The floral contributions were many and beautiful, especially the one from the family and the Ministers' Conference, which was one of the most commanding in the contributions. Rev. Hawkins leaves a wife, two sons and two daughters, and other near relatives. His body was placed on the Southern special and conveyed to Orange, Va., the home of his wife, where it will be interred.

You probably have tried all sorts of remedies on your scalp without getting the desired results, until you have become discouraged and lost confidence in all hair remedies. Thousands of others, like yourself, finally turned to using Seeby's Quinade, and have been so pleased with the result, they would never again waste their time or money using anything else.
Quinade is not an ordinary pomade; it is highly medicated and is a real scalp food. Quinade stimulates and nourishes the roots of the hair, causing a natural growth of long, straight hair. It will make coarse, stubborn hair soft and silky, and easy to put up in the style desired. Quinade will positively allay itching of the scalp; and dandruff, which is the real cause of most hair and scalp troubles.
To get best results from the use of Quinade, one should shampoo the scalp every two weeks with Seeby's Quonasoap, a soap made, entirely of pure vegetable oils. Quinasoap lathers very freely and is a thorough cleanser: It leaves the hair soft and fluffy and imparts a refreshing feeling to the scalp unequaled by any other shampoo.
Insist on getting Seeby's' Quinade and. Quinasoap, asking for them by their full name. Price is 25 cents each. If your druggist or dealer does not stock these two articles, ask him to obtain them from his wholesaler for you, or send us the price and we will mail them to you direct. Seeby Drug Co., 79 East 130th Street, New York City.
Quinade and Quinasoap are sold at all of the People's' Drug Stores.
