People Still Determined --- VOL. XL. NO. 3 Peo PARENTS' LEAGU ANOTH The First Baptist Church Crowded— Hundreds Could. Not Gain Admission—An Appeal to the People— "On to Congress" Is the Slogan— The President of the Board of Education Denounced—Colored Citizens Have Rights that Should be Respected. Attorney Fountain Peyton's Name Received with Enthusiasm — W. Calvin Chase and Rev. Tanner Receive an Ovation When They Enter the Church — Dr. Tanner's Speech Creates Great Enthusiasm. The hot weather did not deter the packing of the First Baptist Church last Tuesday evening. Every seat in the auditorium, the pulpit and the choir was occupied. The thermometer registered 95 degrees, but the people remained. Mrs. Tanner called the great meeting to order, and the minutes of the last meeting were read by the secretary. The first speaker introduced was Judge E. M. Hewlett, who was received with applause. He was followed by Attorney Joseph H. Stewart, who is a forcible speaker. He struck from the shoulder. He was followed by Rev. J. Milton Waldron, who paid his compliments to the president of the Board of Education and the board itself. He was followed by Editor W. Calvin Chase. The greatest speech of the evening—the one that electrified the vast audience— was delivered by Dr. Tanner. He seemed to have struck a popular chord. He said, among other things, that the commencement exercises should be treated with contempt. Of course, Dr. Tanner said, parents whose children graduate would expect to be present to see their loved ones, but the parents and the people who have no children to graduate should remain away from the graduation exercises as a rebuke to the action of the Board of Education and school administration. "Someone in my church remarked," said Dr. Tanner, "that if he didn't withdraw from this school muddle, he would have to leave the church." With a great deal of emphasis and eloquence, the distinguished minister said that if it comes to a question of this church and fighting for principal, his resignation was ready at any time; to be handed to the trustees of the Metropolitan Baptist Church. For five minutes the applause and enthusiasm held sway. "And," he continued, "if it were necessary to carry the fight to hell, he would be there. We are determined to make those who refuse to recognize the rights of the colored people understand that the colored people have rights that the Board of Education must respect." The chairman called "time" on the speaker, but the people demanded that he should continue, and when he concluded, the applause, was deafening. It was decided to picket the Franklin School from 7 a. m. to 6 p. m. every day. It was also decided to take the -school fight to Congress. Dr. Tanner called for additional pickets. Addresses were also made by Attorney Hill, Attorney R. R. Horner, Geo. C. Smith and others. The following letter was sent to President Tanner and read to the meeting: Washington, D. C., June 16, 1916. Mrs. F. S. Tanner, President of the Parents' League, 1444 Q Street Northwest, City. At a meeting of the District of Columbia Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, June 11, 1919, announcement was made by the chairman of the legal committee (Mr. Cobb) that Attorney Henry E. Davis had been appointed a member of The Washington Bee On hearing this announcement, I immediately protested appointing this lawyer as a member of the legal committee, particularly so at this time, pointing out that the appointment of Mr. Davis to the legal committee of the local branch would be construed as lining the branch against the Parents' League in its fight to remove Mr. Bruce from the public schools, as it is a well-known fact that Mr. Davis is the attorney for Mr. Bruce and an association or committee of principals and teachers formed for the purpose of bringing suits against members of the Parents' League, and that I thought that fully two-thirds of the members of the Parents' League were also members of the local branch and that it would be possible, indeed probable, for Mr. Davis to be using the funds of the branch for the purpose of prosecuting its own members. It was further pointed out that a local attorney, in the person of Mr. Wilson, had, after the statement had been made by Mr. Cobb, chairman of the legal committee, volunteered his services to serve on the legal committee, stating, among other things, that he had been a practitioner before the local bar for more than twelve years. No attention was paid to this offer of Mr. Wilson, notwithstanding the fact that the offer was made more than thirty days prior to this announced appointment. I went on further to show to the branch that Mr. Davis had gone on record as being opposed to the things which the N. A. A. C. P. is now fighting for, notably, when the question came before the American Bar Association of admitting Negro lawyers as members, at the time Mr. Lewis, who was Assistant Attorney General of the United States, made application for membership, Mr. Davis went on record in opposition to his being admitted as a member, saying, among other things, that he would object to placing any Negro where he would likely come in contact with white women, pointing out that the Bar Association would likely give a banquet, and the Negro members, of course, would be eligible to attend. I received no satisfaction as to what action would be taken if any, on my protest. On June 14 I appeared before the executive committee of the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. and protested to them against the appointment of Mr. Davis, pointing out to them that Mr. Davis was attorney for Mr. Bruce and others in the controversy with the Parents' League, and, as the opinion of the local branch seemed to be divided as to the merits of this fight, if for no other reason, Mr. Davis should not be appointed a member at this time. I should be very glad to furnish you with additional information as to Mr. Davis' previous attitude towards the race, prior to this appointment as a member of the legal committee. A copy of the constitution is enclosed herewith for your information. Also I want to take this opportunity, my dear madam, to reassure you of my distinguished consideration. I beg to remain, The league decided to picket certain houses of members of the Board of Education. The next meeting of the league will be held at the John Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church next Tuesday evening, June 24, Fourteenth and Corcoran streets northwest, at 8 p. m. R. C. BRUCE AGAIN. It is said that Assistant Superintendent R. C. Bruce was never a teacher in the public schools in his life. How would you like a doctor WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, JUNE 21, 1919 to give you medicine who had never practiced medicine; a lawyer to plead your case who had never before appeared before a jury? Our professional men need to be men of experience and not experimenting; we need men who have done things and know how and when to do them. Unless they are capable along these lines, they are incompetent. We are watching the outcome of the Parents' League to see that they get their rights before the Board of Education or before Congress, which is now in session. The board failed to recognize Mrs. Alice Wood, a teacher in the white schools. She was suspended for a week for some remarks made in class. She could not hear from the Board of Education. The teachers' union has taken it to Congress. Fifteen thousand parents are asking for the removal of one man. Shall their rights be ignored? Let us see. We want to instill into young minds good moral principles; therefore, we must have moral leaders, leaders who will stand for truth and right principles anywhere and at all times. To the Editor of The Bee: We hope you will not falter in pushing your claims for right. The masses are with you and intend to stand by you and all who have the interest of our race at heart. We want our rights respected. In conclusion, stand firm, be as a stone wall, and when we stand fast in our post, we will more than conquer. S. M. C. FOUNTAIN PEYTON. When Editor W. Calvin Chase paid Attorney Peyton a compliment last Tuesday evening at the meeting of the Parents' League, the mere mention of his name was cheered to the echo. MORTGAGE BURNING Thursday evening, June 12, as a part of the program as the burning of the mortgage at Israel Baptist Church, Rev. L. A. Carter, of Nash Memorial M. E. Church, preached a very inspiring and instructive sermon. The choir of his church accompanied him and rendered several musical selections. The secretary gave a brief review of mission work, followed by remarks by the president. Mr. L. G. Fletcher made an eloquent appeal in the interest of the Stoddard Baptist Old Folks' Home, of which Mrs. Amelia Parker is president and Mrs. Susan Warren, secretary. CONSTRUCTIVE PRINCIPLES OF THE NEW AGE At the Bahai meeting to be held at the hall, 1607-09 Eleventh street northwest, Sunday evening, at 8:30, the subject to be discussed will be "The Bahai Principles." Of even greater importance in the era of reconstruction which is to follow the world war, than the fourteen principles laid down by President Wilson, are the spiritual principles that will unify the world from the inner standpoint. Students of religious development, and thoughtful people everywhere are being attracted to the broad and universal basis of belief which is contained in the Bahai platform, and a visit to this meeting will prove most profitable. All are invited, and there is no admission charge and no collection. The singing of gospel hymns is an attractive feature of the meetings. "Y" BOYS HOLD CIRCUS. On Friday night last the gymnasium of the Twelfth Street "Y" was packed to capacity. It was an audience composed of fathers, mothers, sisters and brothers, and, so they say, even grandmothers and grandfathers, all gathered to see the boys perform. From the first appearance of the clowns and tramps until the 20000 THE FIRST BRUCE PARLOR OF OUR CHILDREN MUST GO IS AN STAKE PARENTS LEAGUE PARENTS MOVED HIS WHY CAN'T MOVE BRUCE last act the show spelled real enjoyment to all present. It was an excellent program, and from the fact that it was a clean-cut affair, both young and old were able to enjoy it. Armond and Armond and Honesty and Honesty won much applause by their daring feats. The blindfold boxing match between Laighorn and Queen proved to be most laughable. Bird and Jones gave an excellent exhibition, while Hunter, Blue and Jones did some excellent tumbling and bending. Sunday, June 29, 3 p. m. Rev. L. R. Frazier, pastor; Mrs. S. T. Pryor, chairman; Mrs. Bertha Jones, clerk. Prof. R. J. Daniels, manager; Miss Katherine E. Perry, secretary; R. Chapman, president. PUPILS GRADUATE. The Royal School of Music held its graduation exercises at the Union Wesley Church last Wednesday evening. These are the pupils of Miss M. H. Gordon. The more often. Mrs. Joseph H. Douglass plays the accompaniments, supporting the artists in an able manner. FORMER OVERSEAS OFFICER LAUNCHES NEW BUSINES Lieut. William S. Nelson, after eight months overseas service with the 367th (Buffalo) Regiment, has returned to Washington and launched a novel business enterprise. He has opened a general news agency. Perhaps the most interesting feature of the program was the work of the boy's orchestra, composed of Masters Greene, Stevens, Lanire, Worriell and Johnson, none of whom are over 14 years of age. The boy's affair was handled by Messrs O. J. Smith, Ralph Barber, Wm. A. Dobyns, Fred Bird, Macentire, who acted as general manager, press agent, ticket agent, ringmaster and assistant ringmaster. The proceeds of the affair will be used toward providing the wireless instruments for the boys' wireless class. THE STODDARD BAPTIST HOME DRIVE FOR $7,000 The $7,000 drive for the Stoddard Baptist Home will close on July 1. Have you, done your bit? We are now making an appeal to every pastor of the Baptist Church to preach a sermon in the interest of the drive on Sunday, July 6. The churches that have not been able to take an active part in this drive are urged to give a collection for the drive on this date. At this special sermon on July 6 all teams, groups and persons who have taken an active part in this work are requested to make an itemized statement to their church. On July 7 the final meeting of the drive will be held at Zion Baptist Church, at 8 p. m., at which time every team, church, Sunday School and group will make a full report of all money collected for the drive. As this will be the close of the drive, we are praying that the Lord may crown our efforts with success. The Third Baptist Church committee will give a bench rally on Sunday, July 6, 3:30 p. m., at the Third Baptist Church. Rev. G. O. Bullock, pastor, will deliver an address. If you can't go, send a contribution. Mrs. L. T. Holmes, chairman; Mrs. F. E. Taylor, secretary. A grand bench rally at Alexander Memorial Baptist Church, for the benefit of Stoddard home drive, on Sunday, June 29, 3 p. m. Rev. L. R. Frazier, pastor; Mrs. S. T. Pryor, chairman; Mrs. Bertha Jones, clerk Prof. R. J. Daniels, manager; Miss Katherine E. Perry, secretary; R. Chapman, president. PUPILS GRADUATE; The Royal School of Music held its graduation exercises at the Union Wesley Church last Wednesday evening. These are the pupils of Miss M. H. Gordon. The graduates were Misses Lillian March and Elsie M. Richards. FORMER LIEUTENANT ASKS LEGAL SEPARATION Alleging that his wife of a few weeks engaged in a clandestine correspondence with a former lieutenant, who was so fortunate as to be in Washington while he was in France, and that she was guilty of other deceptions, Lieut. Levi Thurman Anderson, formerly first lieutenant in the 368th Infantry, has filed suit in the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia for legal separation from Mrs. Hallie Queen Anderson, a woman of intellectual attainments and a teacher in Dunbar High School. He alleges that they were married at Warrenton, Va., on March 17 last, after his return from overseas and that he had dreams of a happy life, but that on May 3, after his discovery of these deceptions, she deserted him, saying she had gone never to return. Attorney Royal A. Hughes is representing Lieut. Anderson. DORSEY, VIOLINIST, PLAYS An enthusiastic audience greeted R. D. Carlton Dorsey's initial Washington recital in Lincoln Temple on June 9. Mr. Dorsey was at his best, rendering selections from a number of masterpieces. He is a violinist who gives a program which is well balanced, coupled with an understanding of his art. Miss Amy Dorsey, soprano, a sister of the violinist, sang the Aria Acis and Galathea, by Handel, in a charming manner, responding with an encore. She has a voice of appealing sweetness, which pleases. Mr. Otto I. Bohannon, basso, sang Invictus, by Huhn, Muleteer of Tarragone, and the Vision of Masseneth in a splendid manner. He has a voice Washington should hear Mrs. Joseph H. Douglass played the accompaniments, supporting the artists in an able manner. FORMER OVERSEAS OFFICER LAUNCHES NEW BUSINESS Lieut. William S. Nelson, after eight months overseas service with the 367th (Buffalo) Regiment, has returned to Washington and launched a novel business enterprise. He has opened a general news agency, called The Readers' News Abency, and has made preparation to handle periodicals of every description, to include the local and out-of-town dailies, leading colored papers and magazines, and the country's leading weekly and monthly magazines. These publications are on sale at his three news stands, Seventh and Florida avenue, First and P streets and Nineteenth and L streets. Also he has established an efficient delivery service and is prepared to bring to the doors of readers the publications they choose. This branch of the business promises large results, as Mr. Nelson considers prompt and reliable service a matter of first importance. Associated with him are two cousins, William S. Maize, at present a student of Howard University, and Wendell Johnson, a graduate of Hampton. With the assistance of these young men it is expected that Lieut. Nelson will make his enterprise a splendid success. It is worthy of your consideration and patronage. OUTING JUNE 28. One of the most enjoyable events will be the outing of the Men's Club of St. Luke's Church at Green Willow Park Saturday, June 28. You should not miss it. MEN'S CLUB OUTING. The annual outing of the Men's Club of St. Luke's P. E. Church will be held at Green Willow Park on Saturday, June 28. Music by Columbia Orchestra. Gates open from 7 to 11:30 p. m. Admission 35 cents. GRANT LODGE Grant Lodge, for paying guests; week-end parties accommodated; write for particulars to Miss Olea Grant, 23 White Oak street, New Rochelle, N. Y. ```markdown ``` When Dr. Hayden Johnson informed Dr. A. M. Curtis that the Board of Education was pleased when the sideshow of the Northeast sent a report of its proceedings on the school questions, he had forgotten, no doubt, that he had sent a letter of approval to the Parents' League, to Mrs. Tanner. He had also forgotten that he had informed the white members of the Board of Education that he was with them. It is a dangerous thing to write letters. It is best to walk five or ten miles and carry your thoughts verbally. Dr. Johnson was playing "tweedle-dee and tweedle-dum." Just what important measure he has introduced in the Board of Education can go through the eye of a needle? How can Dr. Johnson approve of the acts of the Parents' League and accept the hospitalities of the Assistant Superintendent of Schools? Of course, the Sage knew that the doctor was with the Assistant Superintendent, but, in the meantime, he was trying to convey the idea that he was with Mrs. Tanner and the Parents' League. I don't think that his conduct will aid his reap-pointment. Now, a new organization has sprung up in the schools. It has the voice of Jacob and the coat of Esau. Miss Katie C. Lewis is the moving spirit. I understand the female supervisor of the primary department is behind the movement. It is the organization of the principals. Every principal was not invited to the new feast. It is an attempt to indorse the Assistant Superintendent for reappointment. A. K. Savoy was elected president, and Prof. Wyatt Lewis was elected secretary. J. C. Payne, one of the Assistant's supporters, moved to go into a temporary organization. This principal's occupation will go with the Assistant Superintendent when the schools are reorganized. My good friend, John C. Nalle, who cannot be "bullled" by anyone, was not invited to the lovefeast, and neither were many other principals. It was a small meeting of the principals. Just about the time the meeting was being called the other day, Miss Jane Page was called to the phone. It was a message from Dr. F. C. Cardozo, informing her that he could not attend on account of pressing business. Dr. Cardozo is in Prof. Nalle's division. I thought Dr. Cardozo had got enough of that crowd. I would advise the doctor to look out for himself. Those who are trying to use him could not be found at the time he needed help. "Doc" is a straight article. Among the principals who attended this meeting were Miss Katie C. Lewis, the promoter, who is principal of the Carnett-Patterson group; Mrs. Blinnie Bruce, of Deanwood, who will be looked after later; A. K. Savoy, of the Burrville School; H. Wyatt Lewis, Garfield; Miss M. E. Wilson, of Randall, who was opposed by a clique on account of her color, but one of the oldest and best teachers in the public schools; J. E. Syphax; A. E. Stafford, of Lincoln; F. J. Smith, of Birney; A. L. Smith, of Syphax; M. E. Tancil, of Anthony Bowen; S. J. Gray, of Cideon; Miss Ella Barnes, of the Langston; and M. E. Tucker, of Logan, who should have been retired years ago. This August body met Thursday afternoon, at 3:30, at the Carnett. It is said that this organization of teachers is to unite with the American Federation of Labor. Now, will the president inform the Sage why some were invited to join and others were ignored? Is this another scheme to divide the teaching corps? I am of the opinion that this entire business should be investigated by the school authorities. I have been informed that certain teachers in the Deanwood School who contributed to the slush fund, and some teachers in the Lincoln School who threatened to contribute to this slush fund will be called upon to explain. There are times when people become great in their own estimation. Dr. Durkee, of Howard University, soon convinced a few of those fixtures in the teaching corps at that university that he was president and these people imagine, that they own not those ancient fixtures. Some of the schools, and not the people. Mr. George Hamilton, president of the Board of Education, will soon learn that the colored citizens of Washington have rights that he must respect. He must have been given authority by the Board of Education to voice its sentiments, or there must be some dummies on the board who are afraid to speak for themselves. What the colored schools are mostly in need of are real representatives on the Board of Education, like R. R. --- * Horner. I want to warn the judges of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, who have the appointment of the members of the Board of Education, to appoint no man or woman who belongs to the Boule, the Blue Birds, or the Lily Whites. They have been a menace to the public school system. There have been more school rings smashed within twenty years than colored members appointed on the board. Strange as it may seem, but nevertheless true, the moment many outcasts come to this city, they are either candidates as board members or candidates for convention honors. These college flunkies who are appointed in the schools give trouble the moment they are given a little power. Those who are of the opinion that the Parents' League will not continue its fight for reforms in the schools are mistaken. Not only is Bruce to go, but Superintendent Thurston is to go. The white people don't want him, and neither do the colored people want Bruce. *** The slush fund advocates will be called upon to explain. *** I attended the supper show at the Howard Theatre last Sunday and viewed one of the greatest and most exciting pictures I ever saw. Not only was it exciting, but very interesting. Well, Vincent is right on the job, and I want to congratulate him on his last Sunday's pictures. The crowd was immense. The belles were out in force, and their gowns wgre very attractive. This is where you see the beauties of Washington. Where so many birds come from I don't know. Speaking about spring chickens, here is wher you see them. The pictures tomorrow will be great. Don't miss seeing them. DR. EVANS IN NEW YORK. I arrived here Sunday, May 25, 1919, and entered the dental advanced course at Columbia University May 26, and there I shall battle until July 11, and return to commence my office. work July 14. I shall tell you of the college in my next article. I here say the work is great! We arrived just in time to witness and participate in the annual celebration of the Masons of the State of New York. Never have I witnessed a more harmonious, peaceful, and clockwork-like festival. Joy seemed to be floating in every breeze and happiness from the consciousness of the rounding out of a successful year was emblazoned across the forehead of both male and female. The first on the program was the Craftsmen's Dinner, which is given annually by the School of Instruction of the State. This Masonic School is held every first and third Monday for the benefit of all Masons in good standing, especially those of New York. In this school the mystic work in every degree is exemplified in its entirety as it is taken up. Past Master John R. Williams is dean of the school and Past Master R. W. Griffith is secretary. The elaborately decorated tables, groaning under the best the markets afforded, fairly cried to be rid of their burden. The buntings and floral decorations alone were enough to razor-edge the appetite. The guests of honor were Grand Master David W. Parker and Lieut. Samuel R. Payne. The speeches made by the honored guests, as well as those by the officers and other speakers, foretold a unity of purpose, a concentra- A tion of Masonic efforts for greater advancement. Next on the program was the annual thanksgiving praise Sunday, on June 1, 1919. The Craft assembled at their spacious hall, 132d street and Seventh avenue, at 1:30 p. m., to move at 2:30 p. m. to Mother Bethel A. M. E. Zion Church, where an overflowing crowd awaited them. Past Master E. C. Holden, editor of the Craftsmen's Column for the State of New York, and your humble servant were appointed reporters by the Grand Master. At the appointed hour taps were sounded, and every man fell in line by order of the Grand Marshal. There was no "wait awhile" till this or that lodge gets ready or until certain officers come; all were there, all were ready and all moved. In column of twos, they stretched out three blocks down Seventh avenue—masters, past masters, the reporters, uniformed men, past grand masters, the Grand Staff, and the Grand Master. As an ex-drill officer, we have seen martial formations in most every form—good, better, best—but for orderly formation, uniformity in dress and cadence we have seen none better. No brass band to attract the attention of the crowd nor inflict punishment on the "rubber-neckers" living in the skyscrapers, but a manly and Masonic procession, moving as one man having one sturdy purpose. The ladies of the Grand Chapter of the Eastern Star joined the men at the church. The officers of the church and their noble pastor ran forward and welcomed the host there. For once, we saw a church really given up to an invited organization—the whole floor was theirs. After the male members had filed into their pews, the ladies of the Grand Chapter filed into theirs, with much more ease than did the men. The Grand Master, David W. Parker, called the house to order, and after preliminaries presented Past Master Rev. Dr. Brown, pastor of the church, who preached the able thanksgiving sermon. For thirty minutes he raised his audience up and sat them down at will and said enough to make the most cultivated minds of his hearers search for historical and Biblical facts for the next five years. The collection was $138.20. After the collection Mrs. Prudence Penn, the Worthy Grand Matron of the State of Pennsylvania, was introduced by the Grand Master: She eloquently moved the house, extolling the virtues and desires of true womanhood in every walk of life, bringing the greetings of the noble women of Pennsylvania. To this address Mrs. Alice Campbell, Worthy Grand Matron of the Grand Chapter of the State of New York, responded on behalf of Eureka Grand Chapter. Her address electrified the house from the pulpit to the door and made the women feel doubly proud of their able leader. On Tuesday and Wednesday the Grand Chapter held their annual meetings without a hitch. Much business of importance was transacted. The following officers were elected: Worthy Grand Matron, Mrs. Alice, Campbell; Associate Worthy Grand Matron, Mrs. Lippins; Worthy Grand Secretary, Mrs. Eva A. Greene; Grand Patron, William Crispell. On Wednesday, June 4, the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge, F. A. M., of the State of New York, met in annual session at Mother Bethel Church. The Craft was in session both Wednesday and Thursday. Business of much importance was transacted; peace, prevailed. The session was graced by the presence of the Right Grand Worshipful N. H. B. Cassell, of the Grand Lodge of Liberia; the Right G. W. Thomas H. Samuel, of Illinois; the Right THE FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH BEAUTY CULTURE SCHOOL AND HAIR EMPORIUM We carry a full line of Ladies' Wigs and Half-Wigs, Wigs for Men, and Toupees, Braids, Bangs, and Switches.

HENRY E. DAVIS, MEMBER AND LEGAL ADVISER OF THE N. A. A. C. P. Under ordinary circumstances and if Mr. Davis had not only recently become the counsel of Roscoe C. Bruce, his joining the N. A. A. C. P. and consenting to act as its legal adviser would be welcomed and hailed as an omen of favorable import. Mr. Davis is beyond all question, an able lawyer and a brilliant advocate and has the confidence of the community, but it will be difficult to explain why only just now he has been found as a legal adviser to the N. A. A. C. P., and that, too, in the absence of any litigation on the part of the N. A. A. C. P. requiring legal talent of his order. It is to be assumed that in joining the N. A. A. C. P. and becoming its legal adviser, Mr. Davis by that act recants, repents of and apologizes for his opposition to the admission of William H. Lewis to membership in the American Bar Association. It is recalled that at the time of Mr. Lewis' joining the American Bar Association, Mr. Davis, in an interview in the Evening Star, said, in substance, that he was opposed to admitting Negroes to membership in the American Bar Association, for the reasons that white members' wives sometimes accompanied them to the meetings of the association and at its social functions would be brought into contact with Negroes in a social way. However, let that pass; but there yet remains to be explained why Mr. Davis was, at this late day and this special time, added to the legal committee of the N. A. A. C. P. The speech of Attorney Joseph H. Stewart at the meeting of the Parents' League last Tuesday was the issue that should be pursued. The colored public schools are in a deplorable condition. Are the people to rule the schools or the servants of the people? Arbitrary action on the part of the Board of Education will result in its disruption. Is there a reign of terror in the colored schools? It is claimed that oppression and domination exist in certain divisions and among certain supervisory principals. On Wednesday evening, May 28 the Northeast Baptist Church had the greatest rally in its history. The church was beautifully decorated with flags and bunting and the lawn with large Japanese lanterns. Owing to the small capacity of the building, the queens, lords, princesses, pages and flower girls assembled on the lawn and marched into the church as their respective countries were called. They presented a beautiful variety of colors, as they were dressed to represent their country. The amounts reported by the queens are as follows: Asia, Mrs. Hattie Boles, $119.35; France, Mrs. Mary Lee, $143.98; Liberia, Mrs. Elizabeth Robinson, $131.85; England, Mrs. Fannie Cannon, $263; Europe, Mrs. Ida Jackson, $118.55; Siam, Mrs. Patience Botts, $95; Africa, Mrs. Ella Rogers, $150; Japan, Mrs. Sarah Davis, $155.58; America, Mrs. Mary Williams, $211.33; China, Mrs. Leora Smith, $320; Sunday School, Mrs. Hadley Edwards, superintendent, $40; total, $1,748.51.

MASS MEETING AT HOWARD SCORES COLONEL GREEF A large mass meeting of soldiers, sailors and representative citizens of Washington was held at the Howard Theatre on Sunday, June 8th, at which the League for Democracy was presented to the public for the first time. The determined spirit and purpose of the speaker struck a responsive chord in the audience and awakened an enthusiasm which at the close of the meeting had reached fever heat. Lieut. J. H. N. Waring, president of the District Chapter, in introduc- (Cut out and send to 1518 M Street. Northwest.) TO THE HONORABLE BOARD OF EDUCATION AND SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA: We, the undersigned, members of the Parents' League of the District of Columbia, most respectfully represent as follows: That Roscoe C. Bruce, Assistant Superintendent of Colored Schools of the District of Columbia, during his administration of said schools has, by his many acts of omission and commission, forfeited the confidence and lost the respect of the parents of the children in the Public Colored Schools in the District of Columbia. That the said Roscoe C. Bruce has lost his usefulness in the schools, and we therefore ask his immediate removal for the good of the service. ing the principal speaker, Lieut. O. E. McKaine, of New York, briefly outlined the history and purpose of the league and the work that was being done in Washington. In one of the finest addresses ever delivered to a Washington audience, Lieut. McKaine described the despicable treachery of that "president of the Bourbon South," Col. Allen J. Greer, chief of staff of the 92nd Division—a treachery which culminated in the latter's letter to Senator McKellar, urging that there be no Negro officers or soldiers in the new army. "Greer states in this letter," he said, "that Negro soldiers were dangerous only to themselves and women. There are thousands of Illus who have gone to their eternal sleep who almost cry out from their graves, 'Greer lies!' "Greer can be court-martialed and will be court-martialed. We shall go to the Secretary of War. If he refuses to try him, we shall go to the President of the United States, and we won't stop going until justice is meted out to the Hun. "Every empty bench here represents one Negro who has forgotten th: insults, the kicks which have been handed out for generations to his race. He has forgotten the rivers of tears which have flowed, the oceans of blood which have been shed by Negroes to bring a white democracy to this country." The 'League for Democracy was described as the only "strictly colored" organization in this country. All of the other large bodies which ar fighting for our rights are dominated by white men and controlled by white thought. Among the other speakers were Lieut. Charles E. Lane, who spoke at length of Col. Greer; Mr. George Henry Murray, who told of the Maddei bill against jim-erow cars; Mrs. A. M. Curtis, who responded to a vote of thanks from the soldiers for her loyal work; and Mr. Ferguson, of the Grand Army of Americans. In connection with these meetings an audience with Secretary of War Baker was secured and held on Tuesday, June 10, to demand that Col. Greer be tried. Many memberships have been received as a result of the meeting. Others can be sent into the Y. M. C. A., the present headquarters of the league, to Lieut. W. H. Aiken, the secretary of the District chapter. The membership fee is $1. A rising vote of thanks was extended the management for the use of the theatre. AT THE CONGRESS. Mrs. Mary Church Terrell at the International Congress of Women. The American delegation at the International Congress of Women, recently held in Switzerland, selected Mrs. Mary Church Terrell to represent them at the first public meeting held at Zurich. Mrs. Terrell was introduced by Miss Jane Addams. She spoke on "The Negro Problem in America," in the largest church in the city, which was crowded to its fullest capacity and in which no woman had ever spoken before that night, May 15. Zurich is in German Switzerland, and Mrs. Terrell's speech was mostly in German; and at its conclusion she received a tremendous ovation. On, the following day, May 16, Mrs. Terrell offered the following resolution, which was unanimously adopted by the Congress: "We believe no human being should be deprived of an education, prevented from earning a living, debarred from any legitimate pursuit, in which he wishes to engage or be subjected to any humiliation on account of race or color. We recommend that members of this congress should do everything in their power to abrogate laws and change customs which lead to discrimination against human beings on account of race or color." IN THE FIELD OF SPORT. Cobb was the subject of much ridicule. Milan must have a lifetime contract with Griffith—he's still a regular without showing anything. It seems as if he's playing on his past record. "Spud" Murphy and Whitehouse are good finds. Here's hoping that Jack Dempsey whips the "cheese" champion, on the Fourth. He has two good colored sparring partners in Bill Tate, and the Janaica Kid; while the Willard camp draws the color line. In the Departmental, League the Agriculture team seems to, have the best chances. Jones loves the game. Latest news from Rush. Keenan, the fleet-footed outfielder, of the "Y" team, is that the pool is now open. Better get aboard, all you swimmers. ASK PROTECTION FOR COLORED RAILWAY MEN John R. Shillady, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, today made public a letter to the Director General of the United States Railroad Administration, Walker D. Hines, calling attention to the resignation of an entire dining-car crew because they could not obtain protection in the performance of their duty, being colored. The letter says in part: "The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is in receipt of a communication stating that the dining-car crew doing service, on dining car 3846 of the New Orleans Meridian Line, resigned their positions because it was impossible for them to obtain protection, the dining-car conductor having failed to protect a colored waiter from an assault by a white flagman which resulted in the waiter's death. "Both the train conductor and the flagman are under the jurisdiction of the United States Railroad Administration. The resignation of the employees of the United States Railroad Administration, on the ground that they cannot obtain protection because of their color, would seem to merit investigation of those officials of the United States Railroad Administration who decline, to afford them protection in the performance of their duty. This murder occurred June 6. "May we hear from you what steps have been taken to investigate this situation and to protect colored dining-car crews on the New Orleans Meridian Line?"

Rodgers, Walter Smith, James Brown, Julius Miller, Theus Smith, James Morgan, Delano Ward, Oscar Carter, William Thompson, Augustus Stockton and Dr. Seymour. HOWARD THEATRE. A ripping comedy is being given at the Howard this week. "The Sleep Walker" is the title, and the playlet shows a woman who walks in her sleep into the room of one of the gentlemen guests at a house party, with the expected results. Mrs. Anderson is the surprised and embarrassed lady and plays the part in such a manner as to show just about what would happen in real life under the same circumstances. Nathaniel Guy, a product of Washington, plays the leading male role and gives a good performance—just what might be expected of him. He takes the place of Laurence Chenault, who is indisposed. Albert Knorl, another Washingtonian, plays the intruder very well and adds to the complications by his leading questions. Miss Guathmey as the "prudish" guest, does well, and Chas Moore as the butler is all the part calls for. Four good vaudeville stunts and a good picture give one all that he could ask for. The Cox Trio are very good, especially little Miss Cox. Morton and Dade are clever comedians and provoked much laughter. It is hoped the public will support these players, as it seems to be a step in the right direction, i.e., they are working up to a place where they can bring the best and most up-to-date plays here in the regular season. Mr. C. Major, of The Observer Publishing Company, Baltimore, Md., was in the city Wednesday and visited The Bee office. He is not only a hustler but a fine-looking quill driver.

He is the boss jeweler among the people, white and black. DEANWOOD, D. C. Mrs. Christiana Briggs is ill at her home. * * * Read The Bee, if you want a live paper.

There were two Populists and two Republicans seated from Alabama in that Congress. There were in all more than thirty Republican and Populist and Independent nominees of the Fusion Party, who had ousted counted-in Democrats, either by winning at the polls on the face of the returns or by acquiring seats through contests. The Southern Democracy felt the sting of this following up of the frauds condition. Their cry of upholding "white supremacy" had been punctured before the national eye by the exposures made in Congress of the black-belt machine, which had been employed to use frauds to overcome white majorities cast against the oligarchy. It was shown, in one contest, that a precinct in the black belt had returned 1,000 votes for the Democratic ticket, when, in fact, the formality of voting had not even been gone through with on the day of election. The black-belt county of Dallas, in Alabama, had returned 5,462 votes for the Democratic candidate for Congress, when, in fact, only about 1,400 votes in all had been cast in that county. It was just such disclosures as this that put the Southern Democracy at great discomfiture before the nation. The contests, however, showed the Southern Democracy that there was a spirit on the part of the fusion forces in the South to fight to the last ditch, and the Southern party of political slavery was most concerned about this. The leaders of the oligarchy then set out to evolve some other plan for maintaining minority rule. This plan would not only have to eliminate the Negro as a voter, but would also have to eliminate whites in the hill counties of Alabama and other Southern States who had joined in with the Fusion Party. Contests in Congress would have to be avoided and forestalled. The plan must cover these requirements. It was devised. It was heralded to the country as a plan "to get rid of the Negro."

Jones claimed his election by 125,000 votes, and Kolb had been given 115,000 votes. Sixteen black-belt counties had returned fully 35,000 fraudulent votes for Jones, while the ballot-box-stuffing Democrats had committed frauds in many precincts in white counties, where it was possible so to do. Oates was the Democratic opponent of Kolb in 1894 and was counted in by the same methods as had put Jones in office. December 1, 1894, was the date of inauguration of Oates. Jones had everything in readiness for the occasion. Cannon and rifles pointed this way and that way. Oates was inaugurated. Kolb, however, was sworn in as governor in the street facing the capitol building and in the presence of the great throng of Kolb followers who had come to Montgomery. There was a Democratic National as well as a Democratic State administration, and nothing else could be done but submit to might. The right of contest was denied. Jones had promised the people of Alabama that he would cause a law to be enacted to settle the disputed governorship, but this he failed to do. There was only one thing left that could be done, and that course was proceeded upon at my recommendation and suggestion. Col. Warren S. Reese was voted for, as the nominee of the caucus of Republicans and Populists, for United States Senator, and instituted a contest for his seat in the United States Senate. This was the only method by which the Alabama frauds situation could be exposed. Candidates for seats in the lower House of Congress instituted contests, and in 1895 and in 1896 I made a campaign of the North, with the object in view of getting the facts about black-belt control in the South clearly understood by all the people of the entire country. will disappear, and your skin will become fair and lustrous.

Jacobs' Pharmacy Company, Manufacturers, Atlanta, Ga. and the era of patriotism and good feeling in this country. It was a fine time for the designing and astute minds of partisan Southern leaders to avail themselves of the opportunity to put through their cunning system of manipulation. A systematic propaganda was undertaken by partisan Democrats of the South as against the Negro. The so-called race issue was harped upon and magnified and stressed. Democratic leaders made lecture tours through the North, speaking upon the Negro problem. "Leave the Negro of the South to Booker Washington," the Southern newspapers urged and re-urged, again and again. The underlying motive of this propaganda was to obscure the real issue, and it was used as a cloak behind which to hide the fact that the master minds of the Southern oligarchy were engaged in the repression of whites as well as the lynching of voice in government of all blacks. The race issue was agitated in Southern political campaigns as a party lash to cower the masses of whites into political subserviency to the oligarchy, and the propaganda had long served the ends that it had been used to effect. It had worked so well in the South that the same tactics were undertaken to attitude the sentiment of the North, so that he North would not disturb the methods employed by the, Southern Democracy to rule the Southern people by the plans mapped out to foster control by the new political slavery. The people of the rest of the country seemed to accept the Southern propaganda as a well-intentioned and honorable argument for the general welfare, little understanding that disfranchisement in the Southern States was intended to make possible minority rule and set up a condition of government that is a mockery to the liberty guarantees of the United States Constitution.

CLOSE RANKS! Thus trumpeted a 162-word editorial in The Criis July, 1918. The blast was sharp, short and awakening: "Let us, while this war lasts, forget our special grievances and close ranks" was the chief note. "It was a call to halt—to temporary halt in a demand for the adjustment of long-existing grievances. It was a call to sacrifice. "We make no ordinary sacrifice, but we make it gladly and willingly, with our eyes lifted to the hills." Conditions that we "halt" and "sacrifice" are just as weighty in 1919 as they were in 1918—even more so. Halt in breeding dissensions among ourselves. Halt in clutching at each other's throats. Sacrifice the last particle of inordinate desire or selfish ambition calculated to menace race solidarity in this the most critical period in our history since emancipation.

Osman, 1728 Seventh street northwest, Washington, D. C. April 12.—You are going to leave the present business and make a decided change for the better. You have worked hard, and you are worthy of something better, and you will appreciate the change. You will buy land and prosper, and you will, build up a substantial business. Your wife will live long, and both of you will be happy and be a benefit to humanity. October 18.—Your husband will not return within a few years, but when he does come back, both of you will have a changed life for the better. He is not happy and often wishes you were with him. Write him when the spirit moves you; it will tend to draw him closely to you. May 16.—This is a very unfortunate year for you. You cannot collect your thoughts for work or study. My advice for you would be to get married and by so doing the trouble would be divided, and your husband yould bear half of the burden. Do not say you have not the right man; you have had several offers, at least opportunities. Look around and you will find them coming your way. Do not snub any man who has good intentions; treat him right, and he will soon offer himself up to you and get married. July 11.—I see you are miserable and unhappy. Well, it will not always be that way. The summer and the fall of this year are better for you, so be prepared to take advantage of God's blessings: better health is also on the way, and then come better friends and a change in your work. Guard against fire and accidents; you know you are very unfortunate that way; you have nearly lost your life when you were very young and these dangers are coming up again. November 21. You are very mean, but you are really doing your self more harm than others because the evil forces and spite you are sending out to others are coming back to your hence avoid rashness and evil temper; they will breed many misfortunes for you. You often feel you want to kill a certain man. It is best if you pray very hard for God to help you to improve your self and to kill the evil forces within you then you will be able to cast away such people from yourself that destroy the best in you and arouse the worst. Labor to Organize All Colored Americans-All to Work in Union Labor Versus Capital. True to the prediction of Negro students, of economies and labor problems, the American Federation of Labor has seen the absolute necessity for organizing Negro workingmen. In order to face capital with serious problems of the new era, the American Federation of Labor at its convention in Atlantic City last week, with but one dissenting vote, went on record for the thorough organization of Negroes in America. Mr. Gompers, the president of the American Federation of Labor, says that this action of the federation is the answer to the charge that the federation is not progressive and inclusive. This action on the part of the American Federation of Labor is the culmination of the agitation and conferences on the labor question conducted by groups of Negro leaders and organizations, the National Urban League being the most active organization in following up this matter for a term of years. It will be recalled that at the Urban League conference on Jabor, held in New York on January. 3'1918, the following resolution was passed in connection with other resolutions: "We wish especially to address ourselves to the American Federation of Labor, which at its recent convention in Buffalo, N. Y., voiced sound democratic principles in its attitude toward Negro labor. "We would ask the American Federation of Labor, in organizing Negroes in the various trades, to include: (1) Skilled as well as unskilled workmen; (2) Northern as well as Southern workmen; (3) Government as well as civilian employees; (4) women as well as men workers. "We would have Negro labor handled by the American Federation of Labor in the same manner as white labor: (1) When workmen are returning to work after a successful strike; (2) when shops are declared 'open' or 'elosed'; (3) when union workers apply for jobs. "We would have these assurances pledged not with words only, but by deeds—pledged by an increasing number of examples of groups of Negro workmen given a 'square deal.' "With these accomplished, we pledge ourselves to urge Negro workmen to seek the advantages of sympathetic cooperation and understanding between men who work." Following this conference, Eugene Kinckle Jones, executive secretary of the National Urban League, interceded with Mr. Frank Morrison, secretary of the American Federation of Labor, and arranged for a series of conferences between the executive council, presided over by Mr. Gompers, of the American Federation of Labor, and the following men: Dr. James H. Dillard, Slater Fund; Dr. R. R. Moton, Tuskegee Institute; John R. Shillady, National Advancement Association; Fred R. Moore, editor New York Age; Archibald Grimke, Washington, D. C., National Advancement Association; Emmett J. Scott, special assistant to Secretary of War; Eugene Kinckle Jones, National Urban League; Thomas Jesse Jones, Jeanes' Fund; L. Hollingsworth Wood, National Urban League; George C. Hall, Chicago National Urban League. At this joint conference held between these groups Mr. Gompers made a statement somewhat as follows: "We, the American Federation of Labor, welcome Negro workingmen to the ranks of organized labor. We should like to see more of them join us. The interests of workingmen, white and black, are common. Together we must fight unfair wages, unfair hours and bad conditions of labor. At times it is difficult for the national organization to control the actions of local unions in difficulties arising within the trades in any particular community, inasmuch as the national body is made possible by the delegates appointed by the locals; but we can and will, use our influence to break down prejudice on account of race, color or previous condition of privilege, and hope that you will use your influence to show Negro workingmen the advantage of collective bargaining and the value of affiliation with the American Federation of Labor. But few people who are not thoroughly acquainted with the rapid growth of the federation know of the large number of colored people who are already members of our organization. The unpleasant incidents in connection with efforts of colored men to get recognition in trades controlled by the American Federation of Labor have been aired, while the good effects of wholesome and healthy relationships have not been given publicity; for that reason a general attitude of suspicion has been developed toward union labor on the part of colored working people; but I hope that out of this conference there will spring a more cordial feeling of confidence in each other on the part of the men who must work for a living." Apparently the action at Atlantic City is an effort to carry out the pledge made by Mr. Gompers for the executive council and for the federation of labor. The request that Negro organizers be appointed in all States where Negroes are in large numbers and that a representative Negro be located in Washington at the national headquarters to look after the interest of Negro workingmen from a national and international standpoint, is to be granted. The National Urban League has just sent to Mr. Samuel Gompers the following telegram: "The decision of the American Federation of Labor to organize all Negro workingmen makes good your pledge to us who conferred with you and your executive council at various times during the past year. We look forward hopefully to the time when your plans will be put in actual operation. Executive Secretary National Urban League. --- LEGAL NOTICES. JOSEPH H. STEWART, Attorney.
