The Washington Bee PARENTS' LEAGUE HOLDS MEETING VOL. XL. NO. 1 Metropolitan Church Crowded Last Tuesday Evening. President Tanner of the League Greeted by a Most Enthusiastic Audience—Rev. Callis Scores the Guilty—Editor·Chase Is Greeted With Applause—Attorney C. S. Hill Flays the East Washington Side Show and Dissects the Committee of Twenty—F. M. Bennett a Candidate for the Board of Education—What He Said to The Bee Last Year Concerning Bruce—Mr. Hauff Repudiates the Article in a Local Afternoon Paper—He Is Loyal to Dr. Moten—He Makes a Public Confession at the Meeting of the Parents' League. Despite the warm weather last Tuesday evening—the thermometer registered 80 degrees or more—Metropolitan Church was crowded to the doors at the meeting of the Parents' League. The pulpit was filled with well-known citizens and ministers of prominent churches. The secretary read the minutes of the meetings held last week in the five different churches, which showed that every church was filled to its utermost capacity. The first speaker introduced last Tuesday evening was Rev. J. H. Callis, of the A. M. E. Zion Church, South Washington, one of the largest churches in the city, with a membership of two or three thousand people. He said, among other things, that no matter how the Board of Education acted, or what it may do, the people ruled, and that the one hundred thousand people in the District of Columbia do not propose to allow a few men to put people over them who do not and can not represent them. His address was applauded throughout its delivery. Attorney A. W. Scott, grand exalted ruler of the Elks, was the next speaker. He was received with enthusiastic applause by the vast audience. Attorney Scott did not mince his words. He spoke right from the shoulder, and his utterances were applauded. It was a great speech. He was followed by Editor W. Calvin Chase, who is always given an ovation at these meetings. He had Mr. Hauff to stand up in the meeting, so that the people could see him. He is a modest young man, who takes his medicine like a major. Mr. Chase paid his respects, as usual, to the would-be traducers of the Parents League and all others who were in any way connected with the slurs. Attorney Charles S. Hill, of counsel for the league, was the next speaker, and for one hour Mr. Hill reviewed the situation and gave out some startling information about the action of the Board of Education at the time a committee from the league filed its charges against Mr. Bruce. Attorney Hill declared that he did not want the Board of Education to force the league to show its hand. Every opportunity had been given the board to act and Mr. Bruce to resign, but if the board insists, and fails to act, it will be responsible that may follow. for what may happen. Attorney Hill then turned his attention to the side show in Dr. Bennett's church, East Washington. Mr. Hill said there are two things about Bennett's church, or two ways to die when you enter the Episcopal Church—you will die when you enter and die if you remain. That little two by four church, which holds about two hundred people, is not a drop in the bucket. Bennett, you know, is a candidate for the Board of Education. Last year he was opposed to Bruce and declared, if he were appointed on the Board of Education, he would not support him. He failed to reach his goal. Referring to the alleged committee of twenty, he took each alleged member and dissected him amidst storms of laughter and applause. You all know Tom Clark, who testified in the Moens case that he was the lawyer to draw up the articles of incorporation. Albert Adams, a messenger in the Treasury Department, claims to be a citizen, of New Orleans; Charles E. Lane, Dr. George H. Richardson—these are samples of the people who represent Bruce. Now, what do they stand for? His speech was an arraignment of the personnel of the committee of twenty, and a dissection of the entire acts of the Bruce regime. Addresses were made by Revs. Jarvis, Pinn, Waldron and others. Dr. Hauff, who had been credited with having written an article in the Star, making certain recommendations, made a manly defense of himself. He declared that he never made any recommendation to the chairman of the Board of Education; but he did write a letter to the Star, but not the one credited to him; that he was with the Parents League. Dr. Hauff was received with open arms. How He Attempted to Industrialize the Public Schools. The Colored Citizens' Association Filed Charges July 2, 1909, and He Was Exonerated July 16, 1909. The following is from the Star of July 22, 1909, under the caption, "Bruce Replies to Critics.": "Discussing the charges made by a colored citizens' association that he has used his influence in favor of the technical high school over the classical high school. Roscoe Conkling Bruce, assistant superintendent of colored schools, said today: "The Negro peasant is wholly unprepared for the complications, the competitions, the moral stress of city life, and little or no provision is made to train him in the theatres and industries by which he might sustain himself, Memphis, Atlanta, Washington, New Orleans, Louisville, Baltimore, St. Louis, Philadelphia and New York, nine cities in which the Negro population varies from 2 per cent of the total in New York to 40 per cent in Memphis, and from 36,000 in St. Louis to 87,000 in Washington, containing a total black population of over half a million souls, and in not one of these cities does there exist a trade school for Negroes comparable to the Baron de Hirsch School in New York City for immigrant Jews. "It is certainly to the interest of these cities to place within the reach of their Negro population not only the usual facilities of good grammar schools and good high schools, but also adequate training directly for economic independence." GARNET COMMUNITY CENTER Grand Opening' of the Recreational Park and Pavilion. The center officers announce to the public the formal opening of the pavilion and recreational park on Thursday, June 12, at 8:30 o'clock. Welcome address by the general community secretary. There will also be other short addresses. also be other sites Selections, by the Community Civic Centers Band of fifty-five pieces, Prof. J. E. Miller, director. Officers and members of the various centers and the public are cordially invited. BAPTIST PASTORS' UNION. The Baptist Pastors' Union of Washington and Vicinity was organized about two months ago. It has already a membership of thirty leading Baptist ministers in Washington and vicinity. The union holds its sessions every Monday from 1 la. m. to 1 p. m. in WASHINGTON, D.C. SATURDAY, JUNE 7, 1919 the New Bethel Baptist Church, corner of Ninth and S streets north west, Rev. W. D. Jarvis. D. D. pastor. Rev. Dr. Ross, of the Third Baptist Church of Alexandria. Va. preached a very able and helpful semion to the union last Monday. The discourse was intensely practical showed a deep degree, of Bible knowledge, and acquaintance with Christian life, and opinion. Those who were present enjoyed Dr. Ross' sermon very much and expressed the wish that he might again soon preach to the union. Next Monday Rev. J. H. Burks. D. D., pastor of the Israel Baptist Church of the Northeast, will be the preacher for the morning. The meetings are always open to the public and are always helpful and inspiring. HOWARD UNIVERSITY. Ring Smashed—Emmett J. Scott Elected Secretary and Treasurer. The ring that has existed at Howard University for almost a half century has at last been smashed. Emmett J. Scott has been elected treasurer and secretary of that institution. Dr. Durkee should not stop until he cleans out the entire nest. The Bee doesn't think much of the appointment of Holmes, as he is a Boule, and the toosin is. "The Boules must go." Just who will succeed Mr. Scott at Tuskegee. The Bee is not yet informed. PROF. HOUGH NOT GUILTY. He Writes a Manly Letter—One Curriculum for All—Educator Says Present School Syllabi Needs Revision. Editor of The Bee: I wish to state emphatically that the proposed plan for the reorganization of the system of education in the colored schools, of Washington, as outlined in Monday's Evening Star, is not mine nor Mr. Hamilton's. I have not submitted any plans to the Board of Education, but did offer some suggestions relative to reorganization. I have made a careful study of race psychology and race pedagogy, and am convinced that a reorganization of our school system can be made with a reduction of the curriculum in the number of subjects, yet representing a content of thought and experience, rich and vital in human values, more dignified and more respectable than the present elementary school curriculum. But I wish to make it plain that I recommended a revision of the present school syllabl for Washington children, regardless of race, sex or previous vocation: F. Harrison Hough. REV. JAMES H.

Elsewhere in these columns will be found the announcement of a series of meetings to be held on Sunday evenings in June, at the Hall, 1607-09. Eleventh street northwest, A. Iwerne Pharo THE PARENTS' LEAGUE IN SE SSION AT THE METROPOLITAN METHODIST CHURCH, TUESDAY EVENING, JUNE 3, 1919. Seated in the center of the pulpit is President F. S. Tanner. On her right is Rev. E. Williams, Rev. J. H. Callis and Rev. Pinn. On the extreme left of President Tanner is Rev. J. Milton Waldron. At the bottom, on the left, with a fan in his hand is Attorney R. R. Horner. At the table is the expert stenographer Woolsey Hall, official stenographer of the league. On the left is Dr. O. A. Lane. Geo: C. Smith and Rev. R. W. Thompson, national newspaper correspondent. Seated in the front seats are many representative citizens. There are hundreds of citizens in both galleries and on both sides in the rear of the church. Only one-ninth of the church auditorium is shown. at 8:30, where the Bahai Teachings will be explained under various topics. Singing of familiar hymns will be a feature of these meetings. The speakers for June 8 will be the Rev. D. Samuel Tate and Messrs. Edward H. Young and Jos. H. Hannen. The topic is "The New Day." Many thoughtful people are investigating the Bahai teachings these days, finding in them the solution of many of our problems. The admission to the meetings is free; there is to be no collection, and all are invited. COLORED DENTISTS. Interstate Dental Association in Annual Convention at Buckroe Beach, Va., July 9 to 11. The sixth annual convention of the Interstate Dental Association, to be held at Buckroe Beach, Va., July 9 to 11, promises to be the most interesting as well as the best attended session since the organization was founded. The program committee, in arranging its clinics and demonstrations, has secured some of the best talent of the profession, and scientific papers will be presented by members of the profession from at least ten different States. A feature of this year's sessions will be clinical demonstrations, showing the actual part played by dentistry in helping win the war. Official statistics prove that more than 50 per cent of all otherwise eligible men for army service were rejected because of defective teeth. The free service rendered the government by the dental profession in fitting these men for service, will be elaborated upon by both civilian and army practitioners. The part played by the dental surgeon in the reconstruction hospitals as well as base hospitals near the front will be clinically demonstrated by capable men who saw service in this capacity throughout the entire period of the war. An army surgeon from France will show how almost completely destroyed jaws and shrapnel-torn faces have been restored to complete usefulness and nearly normal appearance through the agency of advanced dental war surgery. At least twenty States will be rep. resented at this year's meeting of the Interstate. The organization is the outgrowth of the Tri-State Dental Association, organized largely through the efforts of Dr. D. A. Ferguson, of Richmond, Va., and which originally included only a few dentists of Virginia, Washington, D. C., and Maryland. So rapid has been its growth that a few years ago its scope was so widened as to make it national in character, until now its membership consists of about three hundred dentists (of color) from twenty different States. So varied have been the problems developed as a result of pressure of war, requirements of the profession that this year's sessions will be known as the "reconstruction convention." Rapid scientific advancement requires readjusted methods and technique, and many of the knotty problems now facing the profession will be subjects of exhaustive conference at the July meeting. The clinics and demonstrations will be held in the infirmary of Hampton Institute. Ogden Hall being the scene of the public meeting. The general sessions of the convention will be held at the Bay Shore Hotel at Buckroe Beach, where are also provided most excellent accommodations for those attending the convention, the beach being an ideal outing and vacation scene and readily accessible by both water and rail Plainfield, N. J.. June 3.—President A. J. Cary, of the New England Baptist Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. Convention; announces in a letter to the various member organizations of the convention that all is ready for the twenty-sixth annual meeting, to be held in New York. The program bristles with timely topics for Sunday School management and music to enliven and cheer the delegates and visitors. A new feature of a constructive nature at the coming session will be posters used to designate the nine State delegations and the District of Columbia. Superintendent W. H. Taylor, of the Abyssinian School, will deliver the welcome address at 11:4 A.NATION'S STRENGTH IS IN ITS FOOD SUPPLEMENT Eat Less - Waste nothing Create a Reserve AMERICA MUST FEED 120,000,000 ALLIES gate TAN METHODIST CHURCH, TUES- right is Rev.

L. and Boys' Work Department Cooperate in Community Track Meet. With an entry list numbering well over 120 boys, the first annual track and field meet for junior boys was held on Cardoza grounds, on May 30. With the weather warm and pleasant, everything tended to make for real records worth while. Runners and jumpers from Mott, Garnett, Randall, Magruder, Miner Normal, Dunbar, Armstrong, Lincoln Temple Boys' Club and Garrison vied with each other in an effort to take down the majority of points. When the shake-up was over it was found that Mott had scored 20 points. "Y" 19. Armstrong 11. Dunbar 7. Randall 3. The jumping events will be held on the field outside the "Y", and in these keen competition is looked for, as all the fellows are on edge. The success of the meet was due largely to the untiring efforts of the field officials and committees and will do a great deal to pave the way for larger activities among the smaller boys of the city. TURNED DOWN. A colored solicitor of a local paper called on a prominent white merchant in this city a few days ago soliciting an advertisement, for his paper. The merchant was about to give him an advertisement, but his demagogic spirit impelled him to knock The Bee and its editor. The merchant rebuked him and refused to give him the advertisement. The editor of some local paper was guilty of a similar incident a few weeks ago in Garfield, and the people rebuked him by refusing to purchase his paper. They are piled up in Dr. Shipley's drug store un-sold. You should never rail against the Lord's anointed. ```markdown ``` Birmingham, Ala., May 31.—The Jefferson Theatre, one of the largest auditoriums in this city, was the scene of a large and appreciative audience when Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, delivered the annual address in connection with the closing exercises of the Birmingham High School, of which Mr. A. H. Parker is principal. Dr. Moton said, among other things: "The biggest thing that Booker T. Washington did, in my judgment, was not the establishment of the great Tuskegee Institute, wonderful as it is, but the greatest thing he did was in teaching white and colored people that the two races could live peacefully and harmoniously here in the South. The greatest work that the colored high school is doing is not the fine records in scholarship the children are making nor the added appropriations of buildings and equipment for the colored high school; but more important than buildings and grounds and records and equipment is the spirit of service; of the appreciation of the dignity of labor, the spirit of being a blessing to the community, the spirit of cooperation, the spirit of racial goodwill and helpfulness. That, my friends, is the highest duty in these times that any man or school can perform. "The great devastation in Europe of buildings, of art treasure, and the great destruction of human life grew out of misunderstanding and lack of racial and international goodwill. My race loves America, and Southern Negroes love the South, and they love the Southern people. There is an understanding and sympathy between them as individuals such as is difficult for many people to understand, and a large majority of them are going to remain in the South for all time, and the race problem is going to be worked out down here in the South; and I believe there is patience enough, democracy enough, Christianity enough to make it possible for these two peoples to live in peace and in harmony, and mutual helpfulness one towards another." At the conclusion of the exercises, Dr. Moton was the guest of honor at a reception given by the Birmingham-Tuskegee Club of which Mr. Robert L. Mabry is the president. Washington, D. C., June 2. 1919. Editor of The Bee. Will you kindly insert the following notice in the next issue of your paper? By so doing you will be serving the League for Democracy and the Negro race, for which it is fighting: On Friday, June 6, 1919, at 8 p.m. there will be a meeting of all colored, soldiers and sailors and male and female war workers at the Community Center, Seventh street and Florida avenue. At this time the history, the purposes and work of the League for Democracy will be presented, and a campaign for membership in the District chapter begun. The principal speaker, will be, Lieut. Osceola E. McKaine, 367th Infantry, the national field secretary. It is hoped that the crying need of a sanely conducted, hold-policied organization, which will weld together the mass of colored soldiers, sailors and war workers into a solid fighting unit, will be the incentive for a large crowd to attend. When the Negro combat divisions of the A. E. F. had been partially assembled at LeMans, France, to prepare for the return home, a large number of officers and enlisted men, smarting under the injustices of the "Southern Hun" administration and realizing that the benefits of this war could be secured for the Negro only by a permanent and powerful organization of the men and women who had been trained in the war, formed the National Chapter of the League for Democracy. The men elected to office were among the most representative and most brilliant young men of our race. The purpose of the league, as outlined at that time, was and is to fight bitterly and constantly the damnable race prejudice in this country and to attempt to give some semblance of truth to the slogan "World War for Democracy." Already the many chapters formed throughout the country have accomplished wonders. At a meeting at the Y. M. C. A last week the District chapter was formed, and the following officers were elected: President, Lieut. James H. N. Waring, Jr.; vice president, Lieut. Isaiah C. Mitchell; secretary, Lieut. Walter H. Aiken; assistant secretary, Lieut. Walker Savoy; press agent, Sergt. John R. Williams. A junior vice president (an enlisted man) and a board of seven directors and a treasurer are yet to be elected. Already the league has lent its support to Representative Madden in his light to abolish jim-crow cars. It is now working in conjunction with Mr. Haley Denglass to force the superintendent of public parks and grounds to open up the municipal tennis courts and baseball grounds to colored people. It is seeking to obtain representation for Negro soldiers in the Washington Post of the Legion of Honor. It is to conduct in cooperation with the Y. M. C. A. an employment bureau for Negro soldiers and sailors. It is seeking to obtain fair treatment of wounded soldiers from the War Risk Bureau. James H. N. Waring, Jr. President. WAR CAMP COMMUNITY. "He and she who work hard must find a way to play hard and thereby have better bodies and better souls to enjoy their work." This is what is being done at the War Camp Community Service Club No. 3, for neither heat nor rain nor the many other things seem to stop the activities there. The efficient corps of workers and the members of the various committees work hard to find pleasure for the soldiers and sailors, many of whom we have with us. The members are even going so far as to follow up the number of soldiers who have previously registered at the club, and so far-reaching in effect do they want their efforts to be that letters, have been sent to the various churches, asking that the names and addresses of the Christian soldiers who entered the world conflict be sent to the club. Mrs. Katie Jenkins, with several officers and members of Company 9 of th. Harriet Tubman Red Cross Branch, went to Camp Meade to entertain the soldiers there. To show the real spirit, Mrs. Marion D. Butlers recently graduated in "games and stunts," went along and gave a demonstration, to the delight of the soldiers there, 150 of whom participated in the affair. There was dancing and a general good time. Eats? You bet! Chicken's sandwiches, fruit, candy, ice cream, cake and punch. All free! Yes! What could be sweeter? Patriotic music was a feature at the club on Memorial Day. And thereby hangs a tale. In the evening there was dancing. Many games were played. An automobile truck was furnished for the use of the Young Women's Christian Association, for the purpose of conveying some young women to the Government Hospital for the insane. Quite a number of colored soldiers are patients in the hospital, and it was a real mission that prompted the workers to go there. Their visit was much appreciated, and it is hoped that other organizations will follow suit. Refreshments were served to the patients. On Saturday night "The Fiddlers" gave a one-act drama (a sort of musical impersonation); it was unique. The principal characters were played by Misses Lily Rose Skinker, Stella Mae Skinker and Ethel Lou Skinker, young women prominently identified with school and community work. Refreshments were served. There was dancing. The community sing Sunday afternoon drew the usual crowd, the choir of the Florida Avenue Baptist Church furnishing music. There were several solos and a duet. A change of program each Sunday is a feature of these sings. Classes in community song leaders and dramatics meet regularly each week. It is proposed to present a play upon completion of the course. LOCAL, SPORTS. Local Track Meet an Overwhelming Success. In the track meet on Friday, May 23, the Naval Gun team "got away with murder," scoring 47 points. Dunbar High was a close second, with 43 points to her credit. Seven local schools, clubs and institutions were represented, and every event was hotly contested. "Scrapy" Brown, of the Naval Gun Factory, had 19 points to his credit, taking first place in the 50, 100 and 220 yard dashes. Lee, of Dunbar, took the distance runs—the 880 and the mile. Parker, of the Holy Name Guild, took second place in the 120 hurdles, broad jump and pole vault. The relay was the feature event. The Naval Gun team finished the course first but was disqualified for cutting the track. First place went to Dunbar, finishing second with a narrow margin over Hill, of the Y. M. C. A. team, who finished in second place with a 50-yard handicap (the Navy team being disqualified). There was a total of 117 entries in the meet.

Evangelist Willbanks Returns From a Hot Fight in Pittsburgh, Pa., and Plunges Into the Rehabilitation of Both of His Churches. A good many persons have been converted since Dr. Willbanks returned, at the ordinary services of the church, and others are joining all the time at every service. A great crowd was out Friday night to witness the baptism. Baptism is held every Friday evening. There was a great baptism service in Alexandria, Va. in the old Potomac River. Sunday. Thousands of people, both white and colored, lined the river front to witness the ceremonies. Dr. Willbanks stood in the water knee deep and preached a great baptismal sermon. Many persons wept and were very happy. Both white and colored listened to the great evangelist, who flayed the Alexandria devil alive. After the sermon many were baptized, and everybody was loud in praise of the officers, and pastor for the good order maintained during the service. After the baptism a great communion service was held at the Mt. Zareel Baptist Church, of which, Dr. Willbanks has been pastor for more than nineteen years. Returning home Sunday evening to the Tenth Street Church, people were turned away, as usual, with the church packed to such an extent that to gain admission was impossible. At the close of the great sermon some were converted, and many joined the church. The collection for the day amounted to $105. Special rally services are in progress each evening. All are welcome. Hampton. Va.-Mrs. Ellen F. Gray, supervising industrial teacher and local home-demonstration agent in Elizabeth City County, recently organized a successful, industrial and literary exhibit of the colored schools, which showed the pupils' work in domestic science, agriculture, manual training, sewing, and other branches of modern school activities. The exhibit, which was visited during three days by over 1,500 persons, was highly commended by white and colored observers. "The showing." said one spectator, "was the largest and most complete ever given by the schools. It represented diligence, earnestness, and great force of labor, as well as tact, talent, and overwhelming interest in the task set before the pupils and teachers." At a big mass meeting the pupils of the Union Street School gave a OUR NEW HOME PBRD COLLEGE PENDLETON AVE. ST. FERDINAND AVE. program which included recitations, drills, and glee club selections.

Gregg, principal of Hampton Institute; Rev. J. W. Patterson, Rev. John H. Gray, Rev. E. H. Hamilton, Rev. J. T. Johnson; George Davis, farm demonstration agent in Elizabeth City, Warwick and York Counties; and W. B. Weaver, superintendent of the Weaver Orphanage. The chairman of the school board promised that within a year from next September the colored people of Hampton would have a new city school. All the ministers who were present pledged their support to this movement. DR W. L. SMITH'S INDIGES- TION CURE.

The good seeds sown by the sainted Frederick Douglass and whose race was cherished and tenderly nursed by such men as Drs. Joseph C. Price, Booker, T. Washington, Bishops H. M. Truner, J. H. Wood and others whose voices have been hushed in death, will all come to naught if our present leaders stop to fight over the question, "Who shall be the greatest in the Negro kingdom?" And it is regrettable that such a fight has been started between two of the most influential men of our race, viz. Drs. W. E. B. DuBois and Emmett J. Scott. Brethren, these things ought not to be! You need never hope to make a successful fight to put down the unjust and uncailed for abuse and discrimination against your people while at the same time lighting among yourselves. Leave it to the race to decide "who will be the greatest." for in this open light, though you be great, you make yourselves look small in the sight of the well-thinking and intelligent world. And you not only bring shame on yourselves, but you extend this lasting shame on the twelve millions of a much persecuted race which you seem to wish it known that you are its chief representatives. Both Drs. DuBois and Scott deserve great credit for what they have done and are still doing for their race. And neither one of them need fear they will be forgotten when their life's work is done. The only thing their survivors will wish to forget is that little ugly quarrel they had before the public. But in delivering the great "eulogy over them" the speaker, whoever he may be, will be asked to be kind enough not to disturb their peaceful slumber by mentioning the little shameful public quarrel they thought wise to indulge in before they quit this mundane sphere. In vain, will any man strive to make the colored race believe that the Hon. Emmett J. Scott failed to do his duty—his whole duty—in striving to help his people during that terrible world war. Dr. DuBois couldn't have done any better. You gentle reader, couldn't have done any better, and the writer wouldn't have been fool enough to try. "Twould have been far different concerning our race, and especially our much-abused colored soldier boys in that terrible war, if we hadn't had an Emmett J. Scott as an assistant to the Secretary of War. We know it must have been very embarrassing to Mr. Scott to keep on running to those in authority, complaining against the unjust treatment of his man, but he stood up like a man, and, in the language of Queen Esther, he said, "I am going before the proper authorities in behalf of my people! If I perish, I perish!" Could Dr. DuBois have done more? We are not against Dr. DuBois, for he is the one man who has done very much for his race—and the race loves him and will certainly miss him when he is gone, but we do not think he should charge. Dr. Emmett J. Scott, with being negligent relative to his duty as an assistant to the Secretary of War, Dr. DuBois, in speaking of some of the hard times our colored boys were having in France, wants to know if Dr. Scott didn't know all about it; and if he didn't know it, why didn't he know it? That, Dr. DuBois, seems to be a very hard question to answer, i.e., to have it answered in a way so as to make the race believe that Dr. Scott was the wrong man in the right place. Now, let us see, twelve millions of loyal colored men and women of the race, there have been thousands and thousands of inventions within the last few years. There is the graphophone, singing and talking just the same as men and women. Isn't it wonderful! There, too, is the wireless telegraph; one can sit here in Washington and talk with loved ones even on the high seas. Isn't it a mystery! Then, too, only a few days ago men have flown from this country to Europe. Oh, how wonderful! These things, Dr. DuBois, have been accomplished. They are things which almost upset the human mind to think of them. But no one has ever yet, Dr. DuBois, invented a looking glass, so that one may sit in the War Department in Washington and see how the soldiers are being treated in the trenches in France. No, that is yet to be done, and until such a thing happens Dr. DuBois is going to have a pretty hard time of it trying to make the race believe he is the greatest in the Negro kingdom. And we are going to add here that a national reception should be tendered Dr. Emmett J. Scott when his great task is finished in the War Department. The race would show itself an ingrate unworthy to be recognized if it fails to do it; for our leaders should be encouraged in all they do for the uplift of the race. And this same reception should include Dr. DuBois and that born gifted orator, Mr. Roscoe C. Simmons, who did much for our race when they were in France. We hate to have the Hon. Emmett J. Scott to leave Washington just now, for he has made such a faithful special assistant to the Hon. Secretary of War. Mr. Scott seems to be a born "special assistant." When his job of special assistant is ended in the War Department, the race should try to have him made a "special assistant" to the superintendent of the Police Department here in Washington. If this is done, perhaps we would get a few more colored policemen on the force here. There is a crying need for more policemen here in Washington, and some of our honorably discharged soldier, boys would be glad to fill these places. But the fact that the colored people throughout the country responded freely and liberally to the call of Liberty Loans and that the soldier boys were baptized in the trenches of blood in France to uphold the honor of this country and for the safety of all its citizens, including the Negro haters, who brazenly bar the door of hope in his face. Dr. Emmett J. Scott is entitled to the thanks of this entire race, and he has it. May he live long and prosper! H. Edgar Lewis PURE DRUGS 63rd & Eastern Ave., N.E.

Of course, it has been what such a situation existed; but now the vice, unashamed, in the high places. It must be a solemn word of warning to these solons, to be expected when those who have been awaken and demand what is their own, but. The strength of a chain is equal to that of uniting power of our Constitution, which is and the admiration of the world, is no quickest article.

If so, what amendments, covering prohibition, woman shall reformes which the people think have been more than that: in these days of reconstruct and communism await around the corner, so next to swarm in and overcome the good effort for more of progress, it is indeed deplorable which holds the American people together—which binds the multitudinous elements in the world"—should thus be made light of, and caught, and that fact shamelessly flaunted Congress. Beware, O ye powers that be! The retribution of the oppressed that we would deluge that impends, and from which you is that great Constitution. Let every plant, and no loop-holes be permitted, and let your duty, and the wrath of God, ever oppressed and downfrodden, may wreck even political creation. FEAR COLORED WOMEN MAY VOTE. "It is interesting to note that on the Republican side solid delegations against suffrage come from Pennsylvania and Massachusetts in the House and Pennsylvania and Connecticut in the Senate. On the Democratic side solid delegations from South Carolina and Mississippi lined up against the measure. If Senators Harrison and Dial vote against suffrage it will mean that South Carolina and Mississippi refuse to assist either House of Congress in passing the constitutional amendment. The opposition is based on a fear that Negro women may become enfranchised, but Western Democrats have repeatedly remarked that those Southern States which nowadays prevent male Negroes from voting would find similar means of keeping female Negroes from the polls." The foregoing article, taken from the editorial news columns of an afternoon contemporary, develops an amazing situation indeed. That in the august halls of Congress, in the Upper House, which is supposed to represent the acme of conservative democracy, there should be such frank admissions of deliberate evasion of an integral part of the Constitution of the United States is enough to make the gods weep. Of course, it has been tacitly understood that such a situation existed; but now the deception shows its face, unashamed, in the high places. It may not be amiss to utter a solemn word of warning to these solons, not merely of the results to be expected when those who have been kept out of their rights awaken and demand what is their own, but in a still broader sense. The strength of a chain is equal to that of its weakest link. The uniting power of our Constitution, which is the boast of the nation and the admiration of the world, is no greater than that of its weakest article. If the Fourteenth Amendment can be deliberately set aside without process of law, and ignored while still in operation as the highest law of the land, what of the other provisions and sections? Shall not they, too, be nullified when it suits the people of any section to do so? If so, what is to be gained by amendments, covering prohibition, woman suffrage, or any of the great reforms which the people think have been brought about? And more than that: in these days of reconstruction, when Bolshevism and communism await around the corner, seeking the slightest pretext to swarm in and overcome the good effects of the past century or more of progress, it is indeed deplorable that the one thing which holds the American people together—the great cohesive force which binds the multitudinous elements in the "melting pot of the world"—should thus be made light of, and its provisions set at naught, and that fact shamelessly flaunted in the very halls of Congress. Beware, O ye powers that be! It is not alone from the retribution of the oppressed that we would save you, but from the deluge that impends, and from which your Ark of Deliverance is that great Constitution. Let every plank in it be tested and true, and no loop-holes be permitted, and America is safe. Fail in your duty, and the wrath of God, ever powerful in favor of the oppressed and downfrodden, may wreck even this fairest edifice of political creation. PROFESSOR HOUGH In another column of The Bee is a letter from Prof. F. Harrison Hough, who has been criticised and denounced by the citizens of Washington for an alleged letter credited to him and published in an afternoon paper. Professor Hough never sent such a communication to the Star, and neither was Roscoe C. Bruce responsible for his appointment. As far back as May, 1908; Professor Hough prepared a thesis on the same line as his letter in today's Bee shows. The editor of The Bee was reliably informed by Dr. Lucy Moten, principal of Minor Normal School, that she reviewed the article that Dr. Hough sent to the Star, and it did not contain any such language as was published, neither did Mr. Bruce have anything to do with his (Professor Hough's) appointment in the Normal School. r column of The Bee is a letter from Pro who has been criticised and denounced by the for an alleged letter credited to him and on paper.

Tyler has won his suit, filed against the Union News Company for discrimination at the railroad dining room, and the colored people are rejoicing. It will be recalled that Mr. Tyler, shortly after returning from France, where he served as war correspondent, while traveling from Fort Wayne, Ind., to his home at Columbus, Ohio, was refused service at the railroad station din- School Closing Exercises.

So this is the time of all times to buy shoes—and to buy them at— "HAHN'S" ing room here. Instead of taking a car for Columbus, as intended, he at once proceeded to the office of Attorney Sully James, retained him, and instructed him to file suit at once and fight it to the finish. The Union News Company filed answer and later made a proposition to settle the case out of court by paying expenses incurred, but Mr. Tyler insisted that the only basis on which he would agree to settlement out of court would be that the Union News Company, the party sued, agree to the entering of judgment against them, issue instructions to the eating houses in Ohio controlled by the company that in future there is to be no discrimination in service because of color, and pay cost of suit. Mr. Tyler advised his attorneys he did not care whether or not the costs were paid by the Union News Company, that all he wanted was the abolishing of race discrimination. In the settlement, however, Attorney James, who represented Mr. Tyler, insisted on judgment and penalty, with the result that the judgment entered on the court records here in favor of Tyler is for the largest amount ever given in such cases. Attorney Sully James, who alone represented Mr. Tyler in this case, is being praised on all sides, for his solitid handling of the suit. Pitted against him were three prominent white attorneys. Colored people here are jubilant over the victory, as doubt will be the ruse in the State. BOARD OF EDUCATION. Teachers' Union Meets.

C., Thursday, May 29, and meet a large number of his old friends and acquaintances. They all were glad to see him, and while there many social functions were given in his honor. The largest was the barbecue. So well was The Bee's townsman entertained that he made himself sick. He returned Saturday morning, looking well, but suffering from an overloaded stomach. --- --- The Week in Society Washington may be dry, but the soda fountain at Board's Drug Store, 1912% Fourteenth Street N. W., is an oasis for the thirsty and a source of delight for those who love the refreshing lusciousness of soda water that surpasses all other beverages in its flavor and invigorating effects. Here every flavor of rich fruit, phosphates; ice cream soda, and every drink in which pure, sparkling ice cold soda water is a factor is ever flowing in the most sanitary fashion for the large crowds who seek the best. Follow the crowds—they lead to Board's Drug Store, at 1912% Fourteenth Street N. W. Dr. James E. Shepard, of Durham, N.

George always did know where to find it. Dr. and Mrs. B. F. Browne and little Benjamin, Jr., of Baltimore, were in the city last week.

The Government Chauffeurs' Union, Local 124, A. F. of L., composed of chauffeurs from the Navy Yard, Government Printing, Office, Treasury, and Bureau of Engraving, spent a very pleasant evening on May 22d at Pythian Temple. Through the efforts of the collation committed and the able assistance of Mrs. Hardwick and Mrs. Harri-on, a repast consisting of numerous good things to eat, drinks and smokes, was served. Speeches were made by Chaplain O. W. Hawkin, President E. W. Whyms, Ex-President J. H. Pye, Manager J. W. Hardwick and Vice-President C. S. Williams on the benefit of the union as seen by them from their own personal experiences. Mr. W. H. Lyles was the winner of a handsome clock, and four or five other members were victorious in carrying prizes home. The occasion was further enlivened by "jazz" music furnished by Prof. G. A. Hanson. GOVERNMENT CLERKS Last Monday' evening, Odd Fellows' Hall, on M street, was beautifully decorated for a novelty dance, given by the clerks and messenger of the various government buildings.

Among the promoters of the dance were: Mr. Allen A. C. Griffith, Mr. James R. Fletcher, Mr. W. Harold Joyce, Mr. Raleigh Q. Bell and Mr. James N. Johnson. "THE AMBASSADOR." This is a new play that is to be presented at Howard Theatre this Saturday evening. June 7. by forty Baltimore dramatists. It is one of the most interesting and enjoyable dramas that has ever been presented by any dramatic organization. The press comments are all favorables. Critics and the public agree that for gorgeousness and artistic beauty "The Ambassador" is one of the most ambitious productions ever offered—Amsterdam News. From the opening chorus to the finale, there was most entertaining action in this musical romance. The author has produced a praiseworthy vehicle capable of expressing the talent of any group of artists of any nationality.—Pittsburgh Dispatch. The production was of an excellent order from the point of costuming, scenery, acting and singing. When a group of men in soldier costume sang their chorus and a flag was lighted above the stage, it was greeted with much applause, and the throng stood.—Pittsburgh Gazette-Times. The "Standing Room Only" sign was hung out Friday evening at Al- --- baugh's Theatre. Hundreds were unable to procure seats. 'Baltimore's clite were out in force. The khaki uniforms of the soldier boys from Camp Meade stood out prominently in the gay audience.—Baltimore Daily Herald. FALLS CHURCH GLEANINGS. Little Howard Lee, son of Mr. and Mrs. Pete Lee, who met with an accident recently, is doing nicely. *** Mrs. Julia McIntosh, who has been staying with Mrs. Will Marshall, has returned to her home in Washington. *** Mrs. E.

The commencement exercises of the public school took place last Wednesday at the Baptist Church: Each pupil received a certificate tied with the school color—gold—stating whether or not he passed. The pupils who participated did so creditably. *** Rev. Powell and Rev. Henderson were the dinner guests of Mrs. Lillian Marshall last Friday. *** Mr. Richard Carter, of Washington, was the guest of his sister. Mrs. Enma Gorham, last week.

There were fully a dozen individuals in this emporium—all waiting, to have the dirt either taken from their heads or from their faces. The boss, who has a smile always, was not saying very much; but he was an attentive listener. You can hear all kinds of oratory in these empokjums. You are treated with definitions from a hash house to a Chinese chop suey joint. Now, if anyone is of the opinion that the Parents' League is thinking about quitting, he is mistaken. The fight has begun in earnest; and it will not cease until the victory is won. There will be a few changes in the School Board, and if there are any Boule members and Blue Bird candidates for the Board of Education, they might as well withdraw their candidacy, because neither will ever see the Board of Education. My good friend, George C. Smith, brought the situation to a head. If anyone is of the opinion that Mr. Smith is a figurehead, he is mistaken. George never knows what it is to quit. It is always wise to be honest. It is a dangerous thing to be on both sides of the fence. If Prof. Kelly Miller is anxious to accomplish what he is after, he must adopt some other tactics. He must not attempt to choke a cause in which the people are engaged. The Parents' League will next turn its attention to Howard University. There is need of a housecleaning in that institution. There are a number of applicants for the Board of Education among the Boules. The judges of the Supreme Court have decided to appoint persons who have parental interests in the schools. Every applicant will be thoroughly scrutinized. **** Speaking about men who have made themselves by hard work, I must mention my good old friend, Jesse Foster. There is one thing about him, he is a man of his word. Do you know that he has a most beautiful home on the hills beyond is Only Sk DRINK PILMER'S SKIN WHITENER RECOMMENDED BY A SKIN RECIPE AND EDUCATION IN THE PILMER'S INSTITUTE DRINK PILMER'S SKIN WHITENER Beauty is On DR.

Bruce explain satisfactorily to the Board of Education who authorized them to request the teachers to sign or circulate the slush fund petition, there will be something doing. I have always had a higher opinion of Dr. Renfro. Then the doctor became very indignant in his public utterances concerning this myth charge against the teachers. How did he get in it, anyway? The Parents' League will unearth conditions in the schools that have been asleep for a number of years. It is an evident fact that the Assistant Superintendent of Schools has outlived his usefulness. He would do the handsome act if he tendered his resignation at once. There will be brought out conditions that will make the community blush. Prof. Jesse Lawson is an active individual. He has established a school that is very commendable and should be encouraged. Attorney L. M. King is dean of the law department. This law school has done some good work. Already a number of young graduates from this school have been admitted to the bar. *** The Boule and the Blue Birds, I understand, will give a joint inaugural ball year after next. The guests will be confined to both organizations. Give credit to those who deserve it. The most philanthropic colored Americans in the United States are Mr. and Mrs. Malone, of St. Louis, Mo. No two citizens have done more for humanity than these two progressive citizens. Their business is under colored management, and they have agents in every State and Territory in the United States. These two liberal citizens help the masses and not the few. *** I went into one of the tonsorial artist's emporiums a few days ago, and I was confronted with a full house.

A man who has made the strides he has within the few years he has been in business deserves the highest commendation. I want to see Exalted Ruler A. W. Scott and E. G. Bundy get together. Both men deserve another term—two more, if necessary. Scott has made the Elks a success nationally, and Bundy has made the Elks a factor locally. One has made a national reputation, and the other has made himself locally; and in a few years the local exalted ruler will become a national character. But, to succeed, they must be united. The Sage wants to see both men win in their respective positions. THE RACE'S. ACHIEVEMENTS. If the esteemed Washington (D.C.) Bee will point the Meddler to a single instance where "de race" ever achieved a single betterment by indulging in raucous and sulphurious jaw music, we shall be tempted to give it a few notes from fifty-odd years of acquaintance with that sort of thing. Remember Brownsville! Remember Houston! The jawsmith "nigger," who jaws first and comes to his senses afterward, can get all of us into a hell of a lot of trouble, but we have never known of a damned one of them ever getting Negroes out of trouble.—The Meddler.

DRUGGISTS HOLD MEETING. The Colbired Druggists' Association held its regular monthly meeting Thursday night, May 15, at the residence of Dr. W. W. Whipps, 30 N street northwest. This meeting, like all of the recent ones in the past year, carried a large attendance and a particular interest. The members were addressed by a gentleman not in the profession on a very vital department of the drug business, and it is very likely that the fruits of this address will shortly be seen in a feature as a statue to the entire race. Detailed information as to the address and the subject could not be gotten from any of the officers or members of the association, and none of them will divulge its nature. All that could be learned from the secretary's office was "Stop, look and listen." The association remembered the marriage of Dr. G. H. Butcher and authorized Dr. Ed. F. Harris, the secretary, to select a suitable gift, Dr. Alex. W. Sample, who has recently returned from France and the army, made a short talk on his experiences while there as a druggist. A. RELIABI.

NORTH CAROLINA Springiex UNDER AWEAR WHAT THE STARS REVEAL. By Leo S. Osman. Dec 26, 1865-You are naturally resourceful and ingenious, and a good observer of affairs and human nature. You are interested in things unseen and mysterious, and you may safely rely upon your first impressions, as they are the very best. You are full of hope and perseverance and you are good at heart and would like to help all people you come in touch with. This is not the best year, so be careful in affairs JUPITER MARS MERCURY APOLLO BARTH SUN DEJURO CAPITAN SATURA URAKUSO of importance. Greater success and happiness is promised you by the higher stars. **** Sept. 26—You are sincere, thorough and businesslike in all you do. There is a powerful impetus working within you, urging you on to higher and nobler things. You are loved and admired, though you have some powerful enemies, yet your life will be a very successful and happy one. Marriage is for you and there are changes for the better ahead of you. You will have a very trying time in the near future, but you will get over it. Feb. 20—You are scrupulously careful in all your duties and in their fulfillment. If you take up anything you are sure to carry it through to a successful conclusion. You are rather happy by nature, making light of trials and troubles, which come to you, and in this way earning the admiration of many who come in contact with you. You are very much drawn to the opposite sex, and you will have many love affairs, but as a rule you will surely marry. Wear as much white as possible, and the stone called crysolite is said to be your lucky stone. July 2. 1867--You are restless, roving by disposition, and you will travel a great deal. You are fond of excitement, and nothing annoys you more than a hum-drum life, in which nothing of interest from one year to the other. They say that a woman cannot keep a secret; but certainly you can, and you can be trusted with one's private affairs if one is fair with you; otherwise you become upset and inclined to say a lot of unkind things and overdraw the faults. You are too sensitive for your own good; You are stirring in your emotions, and the passional side of your nature is rather fully developed. You will have a very successful life; your business prospects are good; guard against so-called friends; harm is indicated from some pretenders; some trouble is before you; you are not in the best part of your life; but the future looks brighter for you. Nov. 26—You are marked by a very strong will that brings you through difficult situations by its fierce force and power. Your natural power and endurance is very great, and you should make the most of them, while at the same time wearing yourself out. You are quick and have a strong temper, but you are also good and kind and your great interest in human affairs, and would make a good doctor or nurse. You are positive and can well manage business. You had mi-fortune in marriage, but a future happy marriage is indicated for you, and the latter part of your life is very much better. Changes for the better are also indicated. May 28. At the age of 12 you met with a serious accident: 17 you made a decided change for the better; 22 years and 8 months you have married; 24 years of age you have lost a lot of money in a rather thoughtless way; at 29 and 5 months you wronged your wife and she left you; at this present age you are retrograding and degenerating in mind and body. I dare you to contradict the above statements. You cannot, for in a few words I picture to you your life. When you read this you will know that I can tell more than just character, and you will not again abuse the wonders of the stars. I can tell you more, but I am afraid it will not be pleasant, though it will be the truth. Through The Bee column we do not intend to tell everything, but enough to interest people and convince them of the wonders of the star wisdom and to honour them thereby. Rev. Douglass, of Washington, preached at Calloway M. E. Church Sunday, and many of his congregation were with him, his choir furnishing the music. A real spiritual feast was enjoyed. *** The Epworth League is being very well attended. Having Mr. Geo. W. Ferguson, its president, and a splendid body of co-workers, much is to be expected. *** Mr. Chas. Chinn, one of the minute men here, gave a splendid five-minute talk Sunday morning. *** The Sunday School is preparing for Children's Day. Mrs. Tennyson had for her Sunday guest her daughter, Mrs. Ross, from Pittsburgh, and her husband, Mr. Ross, who visited the Sunday School and gave short talks. Mr. McKinley Jackson and Mr. Wm. Jackson, of Pittsburgh, spent Sunday with Mr. Henry Lomax, at his sister's home. Mr. and Mrs. Ernest McCormick are occupying the beautiful residence of Mrs. Susie Hicks at the corner of Read street and Locust avenue. Mr. W. R. Hyson and family have purchased a new home in Deanwood, D. C., where they are now living. *** Mrs. John Webster had a paralytic stroke a week ago. She is in charge of our most efficient physician, Dr. K. T. Moten, and is much improved. SOCIAL WORKERS. (Special to The Bee.) Atlantic City, N. J., June 1.—A large number of colored social workers are attending the National Conference of Social Work at Atlantic City this week. This conference brings together, from three to four thousand of the country's best authorities—white and colored—on every phase of social service. Among the colored social workers of prominence in attendance are Dr. George E. Haynes, director of the Bureau of Negro Economics of the Labor Department, Washington, D. C.; Dr. W. E. B. Dullo, editor of The Crisis; Miss Eva D. Bowles, executive for colored work of the Y. W. C. A.; Mrs. Lillian A. Turner, assistant to the national executive secretary of the National Urban League; Mrs. S. W. Layten, secretary of the Association for the Protection of Colored Women; Philadelphia, Pit. Mr. T. Arnold Hill, executive secretary of the Chicago Urban League; Chicago, Ill. On Monday afternoon Engene Kinckle Jones, of the National Urban League, discussed the "Xero in Industry" at the section meeting in industrial organization in peace, taking the place of Dr. George C. Hall of Chicago, who was too ill to attend the conference. On Wednesday evening Dr. W. F. B. DuBois spoke on the subject, "Comparative Industry Among Negroes." On Wednesday afternoon William A. Lloy, executive secretary of the Newark Urbane League, presented the work of that organization in north New Jersey at the New Jersey session of the conference. On Thursday morning at the session on the Negro and the local county, Mrs. Helen B. Irvin discussed the "Negro Women's Industry": James Robinson, the "Founders of the Cincinnati Negro Survey": George E. Haynes, "Negro Labor and the New Order"; and R. E. Wright, Jr., "What Negro Wants in Our Democracy." Various groups held conferences during the week to discuss their particular problems. One of these conferences was held by representatives of the National Urban League, including both members and affiliated executives. They were especially interested in the recent rumors that Southern planters and industrial managers were offering special inducements to Negroes to return to the South. The consensus of opinion seemed to be that the law of supply and demand should be allowed to take its course, as the workers themselves could very readily determine whether the conditions offered would be favorable or not.

Its "universal joint" conforms with the principles of anatomy and physiology of the spinal joints, and is remarkably adapted to manipulative treatment of the human spine. When it is remembered that the spine is the "backbone" of the body, and contains the spinal cord which gives off nerves to every organ, tissue and muscle, it will readily be understood that health and strength depend largely on the condition of the spine. Crooked or stiff spine cause various kinds of diseases, weakness, and premature old age. Osteopathic treatment cures these troubles by correcting the spine. Women who are suffering from female troubles will do well to consult Dr. Parker, as he makes a variety of those cases.
