Share & Share Alike The Washington Bee 3000 vs. ONE OPINION THREE THOUSAND CITIZENS VS. CORPORATION COUNSEL'S OPINION VOL. XL. NO. 4 PARENTS' LEAGUE MEETS. John Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church Crowded—Fully Fifteen Hundred People Oppose the Opinion of the Corporation Counsel. The Parents' League held a monster meeting at John Wesley Church Tuesday night, the house being crowded to overflowing. It was clearly shown by all the speakers and accepted as a common-sense proposition by the audience that the article in the Star of Tuesday evening did not clear Mr. Bruce, nor did it have the effect of a tonic to soothe the injured pride of the colored population of the city, because of the retention of Roscoe Bruce. Attorney John H. Wilson took up the article in the Star, paragraph by paragraph, and demonstrated beyond doubt that the charges filed by Mr. Smith were specific, well founded and deserved sifting. For instance, Attorney Wilson quoted the Star as to one of Mr. Smith's charges, as follows: Charge: "Bruce is pedagogically unfit and administratively unfit, and lacked educational qualifications and experience as a teacher, and had no administrative constructive policy, and allowed Armstrong School to deteriorate; that he recommended inexperienced persons for principals; that he failed to unify educational work and wasted public money." The corporation counsel states "that no sufficient facts are stated in substantiation of the charges." On June 5, 1919, the board referred the charges to Mr. Syme for determination of the legal sufficiency of the charges, but Mr. Syme in his answer to the board ignores the charges and states that the charges were not supported by sufficient evidence—a question that he had no legal or moral right to decide and was not asked to decide. Now, the beginning of the article states that the Parents' League's charges were held to present no basis. You will notice that this is not quoted as the language of the corporation counsel, but is simply the introductory caption of an ambitious reporter, who in his zeal seeks to entertain his readers and make his paper sell, which ambition on his part is worthy. But the facts in this regard are: First, the Parents' League did not file the charges; second, Mr. Syme did not pass on the legal sufficiency of the charges filed by one Mr. Smith, but stated over his signature that the charges were not supported by facts submitted. supported by men. Now, my hand goes out to Mr. Smith as a pleader, because all celebrated writers—in fact, all writers on pleading—inform us that the evidence upon which a charge is founded should not be incorporated with the charge; and if stated may be attacked out as mere surplusage. My hand goes out to Mr. Smith, as a man of sense. After stating the above mentioned charge, which is specific, definite, appropriate and strikes at the very core of the Assistant Superintendent's office, I say it would be foolish to give the identity of the witnesses and the facts to which they would testify, for some of the witnesses might be reached or influenced unduly. I am glad that the corporation counsel dwells on the facts in support of the charges rather than upon the charges themselves, because I am still able to retain my high estimate of his legal ability; but if he should say that the charges that I above set out were not specific, he would at once forfeit the right to be consid- ered a lawyer. Mrs. Tanner presented $10 as a collection sent in a school franked envelope by ten teachers of the public schools. Rev. Jarvis maintained that the league was stronger and had obtain- ed the car of Congress. Rev. Penn and Attorney Hill spoke at length upon the merits of the controversy. It was one of the most enthusiastic meetings ever held by the league, and the decision was that the league will continue until the rights of the people are vindicated. TO THE RESCUE. Attorney L. Melendez King Comes to the Aid of Homeseekers. It is well known that Attorney L. Melendez King, who has built up a large and lucrative civil law practice, has also found time to give attention to providing suitable and up-to-date homes for his clients. Mr. King has purchased a number of small apartment houses for his clients and has also changed quite a number of large houses into apartments for himself and others, all of which have been successful as investments. He has also sold many houses to homeseekers in Washington. He was the pioneer in changing houses into apartments in this city, his own house, 1907 Thirteenth street, being them Because of his knowledge of the housing situation, the lawyer's opinion in this connection is greatly sought, and many people are appealing to him for homes. He says the colored people, especially those who are renting, will suffer greatly when the Saulsbury resolution ceases to be a law, and the only relief will be in purchasing suitable homes on easy terms. There will be absolutely no houses for-rent in the near future. Mr. King has just returned from a short vacation, during which time he gave considerable thought to this question. To aid as much as possible in relieving this situation he has carefully listed quite a number of desirable houses for sale on easy terms in all sections of the city. He has also arranged to lend the purchasers money, when desired, in connection with making purchases, and has planned in almost all cases to give immediate possession. Mr. King is regarded as an expert in this direction, and those seeking homes would do well to consult him at his office, 317 Sixth street northwest. They should not delay, but call at once, as the houses are being cold fast. The lawyer thinks that the present rush for louses will last for at least ten years, and that money will be flourishing for an equal time. His advice is—Buy a Home. Buy it now! DRUGGISTS' SECRETARY SAYS STORES ARE UNFAIR During the past two weeks the attention of the Treasury Department was called by the secretary of the Druggists' Association to the fact that several delicatessen stores, particularly conducted by foreigners, and in close proximity to stores of the membership of the association, were failing to collect the tax on ice, cream cones, especially, and thereby were violating Section 630 of the Revenue Act of 1918, and at the same time hindering the sales of the same goods at the drug stores of the organization. The act prescribes that the purchaser shall pay the tax to the vendor, and apprightly to draw the trade of the school children some of the indiscreet refreshment shops did not charge this tax. Upon the reports the Treasury Department immediately investigated the matter and warned the dealers. WILL MOTOR TO NEWARK Dr. and Mrs. Ed F. Harris will motor to Newark, N. J., leaving this city on August 22nd, stopping en route at Baltimore, Wilmington, and Philadelphia to attend the ses- sions of the National Medical Association, which convenes August 24-28, and where Dr. Harris, as secretary of the local Druggists' Association, will represent the body. En route home they expect to visit Atlantic City for a few days. Vote for Incorporation—Dr. E. F. Harris Will Go to National Medical Association Convention. The Druggists' Association held a large meeting Thursday night, June 19th, at the residence of Dr. L. H. Singleton, Twentieth and E streets. At this meeting there were several vital matters for immediate action and all were very carefully considered. Among them was the matter of incorporating the organization, which was ordered, and the articles were placed on file at the Recorder of Deeds office last Monday. The incorporators were Drs. R. F. Plummer, E. O. Peters, L. H. Singleton, B. F. Hailstorks, H. S. Pope, A. W. Sample and R. H. Shipley. The association will be represented at the coming sessions of the National Medical Association convention by the secretary, Dr. E. F. Harris, and Drs. E. O. Peters and W. H. Jackson. FOURTH OF JULY. The celebration which is being staged by the War Camp Community Service of the District of Columbia, working under the direction of the Central Committee, of which Commissioner Brownlow is chairman, is attracting nation-wide attention, and inasmuch as the Fourth comes on Friday, it is expected that a very large proportion of the tens of thousands of visitors will want to stay in the Capital over Sunday. American League Park will be ablaze July 4th. The fun begins at 3 o'clock. Everything known in the annals of sport will be shown that day. Full and complete returns of the Willard and Demsey fight will be shown. There will be wrestling, marathon races, etc. Admission, 25 cents. Grandstand, 50c. Boxes, $1. THE BAHAI PRINCIPLES. A deeply interested audience followed with close attention the presentation of the Bahai Principles, at a meeting held in the hall, 1607-09 Eleventh street northwest. Sunday evening, June 20th. Starting with the statement that the world is undergoing transformation, and that the epoch to follow will be better or worse according to the spiritual impulse which underlies the people of the world, it was developed that everyone has a deep responsibility for the world progress, and that the world was never nearer the millennium than now. All that is necessary is a deep spiritual insight, and the introduction of advanced ideals. The principles laid down by Bahao-allah for the new age were then forth, as follows: (1) The oneness of the world of humanity; (2) independent investigation of truth; (3) the foundation of all religions is one; (4) religion must be the cause of unity among mankind; (5) religion must be in accord with science and reason; (6) equality between men and women; (7) abandonment of all prejudices; (8) universal peace; (9) universal education; (10) solution of the economic problems; (11) a universal language, and (12) an international tribunal. ternational These advanced principles are adapted to the needs of the world, present and future, and if carried out will bring about the Golden Age. It was pointed out that several millions of followers, throughout the world, are exemplifying these principles in their lives, and an appeal to all present to ally themselves with this progressive movement was made. The subject for Sunday, June 27, at 8:30 p. m., hall, 1607-09 Eleventh street, will be: "Life After Death." Some of the clearest conceptions of immortality ever given to the world are set forth in the Bahai teachings, offering comfort to the bereaved and an assurance of future progress, which is the greatest need of the age to all that are "weary and heavy laden." THE DOCTOR WAS RIGHT. The president of the Board of Education: Dr. John Van Schaik, delivered a most timely address to the pupils of the Normal School Wednesday. He advised the children, as well as the teachers, to be truthful. No one wants an untruthful teacher. The Doctor was right. Rev. Pinn said it was one of the best addresses he had ever heard. The Doctor must have had someone in view at the time. His hearers had no doubts. WHAT DR. HAYNES SAID. Recently Dr. George E. Haynes, director of Negro Economics, was quoted as follows: "No organized attempt will be made, however, to fill the places of those who leave the country with colored labor from the South." "In the Evening, Star of June 19, in an article headed 'Workers Leaving U. S. to Take Four Billions,' a quotation is given purporting to have come from me as director of Negro Economics, United States Department of Labor. I gave out no statement. "The quotation in the article has created an impression that I am taking steps to advise the Department of Labor to prevent Negro workers from moving from one part of the country to another. Their freedom to come and go as they choose is involved in the purpose of the department, as stated in the act creating the Department of Labor, as follows: 'To foster, promote and develop the welfare of wage earners of the United States, to improve their working conditions and to advance their opportunities for profitable employment.'"

She was assaulted and robbed by an unidentified colored man. The young lady had to be carried home in an ambulance. From last reports Miss Sewall is in a dangerous condition. MAJOR JOSEPH H. WARD. Answered His Country's Call—The Guest of His Sister and Niece While in the City. When the call came for colored officers, Dr. Joseph H. Ward, at a great sacrifice, volunteered and answered the call. One of the Iowa papers quotes him as saying: "This is a history-making period, and I want to be connected with it." Dr. J. H. Ward is a resident of Indianapolis, Ind., though a North Carolinian by birth. He was educated and has since practiced in the city [Name] of Indianapolis, Ind. Dr. Ward has successfully conducted the only colored sanitarium in the city of Indianapolis for a number of years, as well as having a large medical practice. He has held the position of Supreme Medical Chancellor of the Knights of Pythias for a number of years. Dr. J. H. Ward entered the training camp in 1918 and was associated with Dr. Cabaniss, of this city. Dr. Ward was given the rank of first lieutenant. A few months THE JOLLY-JAZZY-JESSE ly Obse magazine of Colored Progressiv THE JOLLY-JAZZY-JESTFUL --- Don't Fail To Get The later he was promoted to the rank of captain. He was given charge of the 325th Field Signal Battalion and sailed for France. Dr. Ward suffered many hardships and so distinguished himself that he was promoted to the rank of major. He has the honor of holding the highest rank of any Negro in the Medical Corps of the United States Army. Major Ward has just left Washington, after having been the guest of his sister, Mrs. S. H. Moody, and his niece, Mrs. Christina Moody Briggs, of 1032 Whittingham place, Deanwood, D. C. The major was royally entertained by the most distinguished people of Washington while in the city. He visited the Deanwood School and gave a most inspiring talk to the children. While Major Ward was serving his country in France, his only son, Joseph Ward, Jr., died of influenza. Mrs. M. Ward, mother of Major Ward, spent the winter with her daughter, Mrs. S. H. Moody. She accompanied her son, Major Ward, back to Indianapolis, and from there will go to Chicago to visit her youngest daughter, Mrs. M. Artis. STODDARD BAPTIST HOME. The $7,000 drive for Stoddard Baptist Home will close Monday evening, July 7th, at the Zion Baptist Church, F street between Third and Four and a Half streets, southwest. Every Baptist church, Sunday School, Young People's society and friends of the Home who have not contributed toward this worthy and laudable cause are asked to be present with or send a contribution on Monday evening, July 7th. The public is also invited. Preceding the report of the teams, there will be a service of song, praise and a short address, Prof. R. J. Daniels is manager of the drive; Miss Katharine E. Perry, secretary, and Richard Chatman, press agent. SUCCESS The Chautauqua Concert given at, Ebenezer A. M. E. Church on June 25th was a success. Mrs. Cofer thrilled the audience.

ESTFUL erver sive Washington & Baltimore Ten Cents the Copy. --- Who was it said some time ago that Howard University would "collapse" if any changes in the personnel of that institution were made. Well, Dr. Durkee made those changes and there are more to follow. Attention will be paid to the medical department next. My good friend, Dr. Renfro, is talking too much. I very much dislike to read the riot act to him. Perhaps he will realize what I am talking about in a few days. The so-called administration ticket is impeding the progress of the schools, and as soon as there is a change in the head the objectionable features in the body will be eliminated. Now, if you think that Dr. Thurston is to remain, you are very much mistaken. He is to go, with Bruce, and you will see it. There is no power in this contest that will be able to save the fallen regime. The Boule is a thing of the past. Men who have ruled by force and favoritism will rule no more. Speaking about the power in the schools, the entire truth has not been told yet. Just wait a few days and resolutions will be developed. * * * The divorce proceedings of Lieut. Anderson, that has developed some things, will be rather sensational when the trial begins. There are some interesting correspondence that will come to light. Now, when the case is fully developed by that astute barrister, Royal Hughes, there will be some sensational things brought to light. *** Now, Mrs. Ida B. W. Barnett is anxious that Editor William Monroe Trotter should be sent $50,000 while in France. Just how much of that amount is to be contributed by Mrs. Barnett the Sage is not able, at this time to state. I have never seen since my existence, and that has been some time, where Mrs. Barnett has ever contributed a substantial financial donation to enterprise. As a wind contributor Mrs. Barnett is past mistress of the quill drivers. She reminds me of several other hotair artists who have been in the lime-light for a number of years, or from the time the memory of man runneth not to the contrary. The local Association for the Advancement of the Colored People had better elect a new set of officers and a legal adviser at once. An association that protects one class and exposes another doesn't represent the people: I see where a Spingarn medal has been awarded President Archibald Grimke. Are medals offered or given for meritorious service or are they given because those to whom they are given are personal favorites of the medal manufacturer? Why not give a medal to the legal adviser of the local N. A. A. P. A.? He has done as much to take the local association off the map as has the honorable Archibald Grimke, and the man who is able to restore it to its former prestige is entitled to a medal, in deed and in fact. It will take some time to increase its membership. There should be no favorites in any cause for right and justice in this or any other land. In the face of a strong and united protest, Dr. J. Hayden Johnson was reappointed on the Board of Education. Not only should the Board of Education be elected by the people, but the judges of the Supreme Court as well. I feel confident, however, that the Commissioners will have the appointment of the Board of Education in a very few months. When government officers are elected by the people there will be more harmony among them. I was seated in one of those torsorial artist's chairs somewhere in You street a few days ago, when Dr. A. M. Curtis passed. He was stopped by a baseball fan who wanted to know where he was going. The surgeon of limbs remarked that he had received a hurried call from Roscoe. On his arrival at headquarters, to his surprise, he found around a specially prepared dissecting table seven adherents of the Assistant Superintendent of Schools trying to dissect the next move of the Parents' League. Dr. Curtis, who was dressed in white, advised the consulting physicians that it would be wise to call in additional medical advisors, who were learned in the art of surgery. "Ahl!" remarked the man who had cut open the heart of a live subject and sewed it up again, "I suggest the name of Dr. Wilson." He immediately phoned to Dr. Wilson, who in turn thought it wise to send for Dr. S. S. Thompson. Both eminent physicians arrived, one on foot and the other in an electric car. It was not long before the medical "pow-wow" begun. Dr. Curtis, you know, says but little when he has a weight subject on his brain. He generally does the walking up and down until the time arrives for him to use his knife. And when he draws that knife he is able to do what no other surgeon can do. I have seen him open the heart of a live subject and take therefrom a fishbone and sew it up; but he had to admit that the Parents' League diagnosis was beyond his medical skill. Dr. Thompson came to the conclusion that Jim Cobb, the lawyer, might be able to throw some light on the situation. Cobb, of course, asked for time to consult the prince of the legal profession, Attorney Harry Davis, who has just been made a member of the legal committee of the local board of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. When Cobb was last seen he was coming out of the Franklin School with his client, Roscoe, with a nervous smile upon his lips. I must say that Jim Cobb and Dr. Curtis are entirely harmless. I have never heard either do anyone harm. Of course, I don't say that Cobb is always right. With the local colored bar against him, he must seek another refuge. My good friend, E. G. Bundy, I understand, has fallen out with his secretary. Sorry to hear that. If there ever was a competent and loyal supporter of an Elk, it is the secretary of Columbia Lodge of Elks, No. 85. Now, this will necessitate three specially made bathing suits to be furnished the three -Elks at Atlantic City in August. If you want to witness a great feat don't fail to witness this great salt-water dive in August. After Grand Exalted Ruler A. W. Scott has been elected by the united forces of the Elks, the great dive will take place. Now, I am an admirer of these three great Elks and am anxious for them to get together. Scott, from the Sage's reliable information, will have only one lodge—if that—to oppose his re-election. BETHEL A. M. E. CHURCH DRIVE, BALTIMORE Baltimore, Md., June 23.—The unknown has happened in Baltimore, when Bethel A. M. E. Church, in one rally, placed on the table $30,-018.50, this week, and by June 29 an additional $3,000 will have been paid in, which will cancel the mortgage on the church and give to the people one more church of the race out of debt. This is perhaps the largest amount ever raised by one church at a single effort. To witness the drive there were present Bishop J. Albert Johnson, of Philadelphia; Bishop John Hurst, Baltimore; Bishop L. J. Coppin, of Philadelphia; Mesdames Mary F. Handy, J. A. Johnson, K. Bertha Hurst, ministers from Pennsylvania, New York and New England. The drive was planned by the financial wonder of the race, Dr. W. Sampion Brooks, who has raised in three years over a hundred thousand dollars. The new site for Bethel was purchased at a cost of $90,000 and is one of the finest church edifices owned by the race. When he was appointed to the charge several years ago, Dr. Brooks declared that the church must soon be out of debt, and his mission was to pay it out, only asking the people to follow his lead. His first drive resulted in $15,000 being raised, and the one which is now closing will be over $33,000. At the meeting of the mid-winter session of the Bishops' Council, next February., the church will be turned THE HAT. over to the connection free of debt, and the mortgage will be burned. In return for the services rendered; in May, 1920, the general conference will elevate Dr. W. Sampson Brooks to the episcopacy. The rally was the largest and most successful ever planned by any church. Bethel Church was organized into sixteen units, known as mock conferences. Each had a bishop, presiding elders and pastors. Dr. Brooks was general chairman of the banking committee; Prof. Howard F. Young, secretary; John H. Murphy, treasurer. The whole Afro-American office force took part in the rally, which lasted from 3 o'clock in the afternoon until 6:30 the following morning, all of which time was used in counting and collecting money, and hearing reports. Dr. Brooks is the financial genius of the race. Editor's Note.—Rev. Brooks is the greatest financier in the Methodist Church. BAPTIST PASTORS' UNION. Parents' League Endorsed. The Baptist. Ministers' Union of Washington, and Vicinity held a splendid and largely attended session at the New Bethel Baptist Church, Rev. W. D. Jarvis, D. D. pastor, from 11 to 1 o'clock last Monday. The vice president, Rev. W. H. R. Powell, of Alexandria, presided, as Rev. Joseph H. Lee, the president, was the special order of the day with a very practical, helpful and inspiring sermon on "The Sin of Covetousness." Those who heard Dr. Lee's sermon expressed themselves as being greatly benefited and commended him for the courage, consecrated common sense and faithful study displayed by his sermon. Rev. J. A. Johnson will be the preacher next Monday, and his sermon will, no doubt, be of an inspiring and helpful character. The Baptist Pastors' Union already numbers thirty-five members, among them being Rev. Drs. J. H. Lee, W. H. R. Powell, J. Harvey Randolph, W. D. Jarvis, James L. Pinn. A. Sayles. H. Milton Waldron and others whose names the reporter did not get. Among the visitors who were present and who addressed the union last Monday were Revs. H. W. Colston, James E. Green and J. H. Marshall, Sergeant J. A. Jamieson, Deacon R. Robinson' and Mr. Isaac C. Reddie, representing the Day Nursery of the Alley Improvement Association. All these friends brought greetings and had many cheering and encouraging words for the union. The union has placed itself on record as in favor of the Parents' League, and the members of the body are doing all they can to improve the condition of our public schools. A NEW BANK.

President H. B. Young made a short talk. He recounted the progress of the race from the past fifty years.

Agt., 314 East Second St. Oklahoma City, Okla. --- --- New York City, May 22, 1919. Hon. W. Calvin Chase, Editor, The Washington Bee. I am enclosing a copy of a letter that I have mailed to Senator Warren G. Harding. You are at liberty to use this in the columns of your paper. New York City, May 22, 1919. Hon. Warren G. Harding, United States Senate, Washington, D. C. Dear Senator Harding: I trust that, in the meanwhile of the discussion of the League of Nations, the country will get information not only about the need of world democracy, as laid down by President Wilson, but also the facts about democracy in the Southern States as laid low by the South in the saddle Southern Democracy. The nation has already heard a great deal about Wilson's war and Wilson's League of Nations; the one to make the world safe for democracy and the other to keep the world out of war. What I would prefer that the nation hear a bit more about is how the President's Southern Democracy has made democracy unsafe in the States of the South, through the machinations of political intrigue resulting in the fostering of a political autocracy, and how so-called disfranchisement laws have operated to shut out the masses of whites and practically all colored from the ballot and voice in government. I must confess that I am more deeply concerned in upholding the principles of constitutional government in the United States and in seeing that we have democracy upheld in this country than in this highfaluting for everywhere abroad. President Wilson has recently said that to find a fool let him speak in public. This makes me recall the oratory of those 1916 campaigners for the South in the saddle Democratic Party and their "he will keep the country out of war." It would appear to the average thinker that this present bunk of "he will keep the world out of war" is only a world-wide revision of this 1916 political faking. Those who put over one trick usually try it again with revision or different trimmings. This Wilson's League of Nations ought to turn loose its dove in this country and at least let a white feather drop in the South as an omen that the Southern shotgun Democracy will turn to shooting rabbits instead of would-be voters, while pine knots will be turned, to peaceful pursuit of kindling fires to cook steak instead of kindling fires to bake humanity at the stake. Back to the subject of fools and speaking in public, it would seem that the Southern Democracy could not, with its own record of disfranchisement and denial of voice in government and overriding the consent of the governed, have the brazen effrontery to pose as leaders of world democracy. This political regime must think that they can "fool all the people all the time" and that we are a nation of fools, that we have no sense of propriety or consistency. It would not seem to me to have been a bit more of a diversion, should he have done so, for Robert Ingersoll to have preached old-time "hell fire and damnation" religion abroad while preaching and practicing that other "belief at home, than it is for this Southern Democracy of political repression to go out proclaiming world democracy, abroad while they stifle free government in those States over which they domineer at home. It can but appear to me that the hour has struck to expose this hypocrisy. For a long while, up to about 1890, the Southern Democracy maintained a political oligarchy through stuffing ballot boxes in black belt counties in the several States of the South. They said they were upholding "white supremacy," but contests in Congress exposed this system as one that was operated to overcome the majorities cast against this regime in the white counties by the white voters; and it will be recalled that, in 1897, about thirty Southern Democrats were ousted from seats in the Congress. It was then that the Southern Democracy triggered and figured the existing plan of manipulating control, through disfranchisement laws, which they heralded as planned "to get rid of the Negro." This was a lie. This intrigue was put in motion to get rid of true democratic government and to fasten a political autocracy on the masses of the people of the South. The results of the operations of the scheme plainly disclose its purposes. Whites and blacks are eliminated through its chicanery. There is the State of Virginia, so close by the White House, which has 550,000 male citizens of voting age, and yet 100,000 Democratic ballots, rufe that State. Fully 240,000 whites do not vote. In 1916 we heard, a lot of excerciating about the struggle of the Mexicans for voice in government, and it was said that Baker referred to Villaites as comparable to the Revolutionary patriots. If the Democratic candidate for President in 1916 could sigh for the Mexicans who wanted voice in government, then, under high heaven, why can't the Southern Democracy have a heart for those in the Southern States whose voice in government has been lynched by the Wilson Southern Democracy? If there be sympathy for Mexican bandits, why not sympathy for colored Americans who are not bandits, but who are law-abiding and property-holding and taxpaying citizens of the United States; even though the Southern States have not, in the sense of recognizing the liberty guarantees of the American Constitution, yet taken these people in the Union. We have had 'all this Southern Democratic propaganda for all these years about an alleged "race issue" and "Négro problem." It is time that this slush should be pressed aside and the real question of whether or not the people of the South are going to have plain United States government, be considered. There is no reason why other States should comply with the Constitution and these few States be permitted to lynch the Constitution. All of this "race issue" rot is the cloak behind which the lynchers of constitutional government hide their political outlawry. I am writing to you, Senator, on this subject because you are one of the foremost leaders of the party of Lincoln and one of our great American statesmen. Will you not deeply and seriously consider the subject of this correspondence? Sincerely yours, Joseph C. Manning. BAPTIST MINISTERS' MEET. Dr. M. W. D. Norman, President. The Baptist Ministers' Conference, of which Rev. Dr. M. W. D. Norman is president, met this week and contradicted certain misrepresentations that are being made. There is only one president of this organization, and he is Dr. M. W. D. Norman, one of the most brilliant pulpit orators in the United States. This organization is doing good work among the people. Invention of an Expert Chemist You probably have tried all sorts of remedies on your scalp without getting the desired results, until you have become discouraged and lost confidence in all hair remedies. Thousands of others, like yourself, finally turned to using Seeby's Quinade; and have been so pleased with the result they would never again waste their time or money using anything else. Quinade is not an ordinary pomade; it is highly medicated and is a real scalp food. Quinade stimulates and nourishes the roots of the hair, causing a natural growth of long, straight hair. It will make coarse, stubborn hair soft and silky, and easy to put up in the style desired. Quinade will positively allay itching of the scalp; and dandruff, which is the real cause of most hair and scalp troubles. To get best results from the use of Quinade, one should shampoo the scalp every two weeks with Seeby's Quonasoap, a soap made entirely of pure vegetable oils. Quinasoap lathers very freely and is a thorough cleanser. It leaves the hair soft and fluffy and imparts a refreshing feeling to the scalp unequalled by any other shampoo. Insist on getting Seeby's' Quinade and Quinasoap, asking for them by their full name. Price is 25 cents each. If your druggist or dealer does not stock these two articles, ask him to obtain them from his wholesaler for you, or send us the price and we will mail them to you direct.

The Bee is the exponent and defender of the needy and those who believe in the uplift of the nation. The colored Americans at the Capital of the Nation and of the United States should have a national daily.

BORAH OF IDAHO. ever was a menace to the Republican Party, Idaho. Neither he nor Johnson of California. The Bee supposes that the other all-Senator from California, and the sooner heselves, the better it will be for the country to a white man's party of bolters, and it is bolting party has ever succeeded in poli-tions fails to protect all citizens regardless of nationalities, it should not be in the United States. The Bee of California declared in a speech that the two similar conditions as California. What means that California is menaced by Japan, faced by colored Americans, who have de-ly and patriotism than any other class of colored race in the South, after many years of sin, is regarded today by the white South-lyopocrites as a menace to civilization. The skill to every call of his country; he has she-shesitancy when the enemy has been for every invaded citizen; he has been willing, country's call, and thousands of them, with chains, have appealed to their oppressors and chains and give them an opportunity against foreign invasion, and yet they are of this country to be a menace to give not menaces when their services are not; they are not menaces and neither do-ment of civilization when white labor strikes toward advance of good government when recent world conflict found the colored se-rance, sacrificing their lives, with their behind to the mercy of the prejudiced S-children they protected in the late War of the 18th and Johnson leave the Republican Party take their party of the imps of h—l. The o-oon come for the righteous and the just. If there ever was a menace to the Republican Party, it is Senator Borah of Idaho. Neither he nor Johnson of California are any good to the nation. The Bee supposes that the other ally of his new party is the Senator from California, and the sooner both of them declare themselves, the better it will be for the country. Their party would be a white man's party of bolters, and it is an evident fact that no bolting party has ever succeeded in politics. If the League of Nations fails to protect all citizens regardless of color, all nations regardless of nationalities, it should not be ratified by the Senate of the United States. Johnson of California declared in a speech that the South is menaced with similar conditions as California. What does he mean? He means that California is menaced by Japanese, and the South is menaced by colored Americans, who have demonstrated greater loyalty and patriotism than any other class of Americans; and yet the colored race in the South, after many years of toil, trials and tribulation, is regarded today by the white South and many Republican hypocrites as a menace to civilization. The black man has responded to every call of his country; he has shouldered his gun without hesitancy when the enemy has been found at the threshold of every invaded citizen; he has been willing and ready to obey his country's call, and thousands of them, while tied in shackles and chains, have appealed to their oppressors to loosen those shackles and chains and give them an opportunity to defend their country against foreign invasion, and yet they are declared by the lawmakers of this country to be a menace to good government. They are not menaces when their services are needed in the hour of danger; they are not menaces and neither do they impede the advancement of civilization when white labor strikes; they don't retard the onward advance of good government when affliction comes. The recent world conflict found the colored soldiers upon the soil of France, sacrificing their lives, with their wives, their children left behind to the mercy of the prejudiced South, whose wives and children they protected in the late War of the Rebellion. - Let Borah and Johnson leave the Republican Party, if they so desire, and make their party of the imps of h—l. The day of resurrection will soon come for the righteous and the just. NOT FINAL. von Counsel Conrad Syme has submitted a of Education in the alleged charges against Syme devotes a great deal of time and news it made by twenty thousand parents and that they know from personal knowledgeularities in the colored public schools. In the Board of Education, if it did feel disain irregularities, has sufficient cause to hold against the colored Assistant Superintendent Bee is not at all surprised. It stated son the Board of Education nor the Corporate rate these alleged charges. The fact of the Corporation Counsel Conrad Syme has submitted his opinion to the Board of Education in the alleged charges against Roscoe C. Bruce. Mr. Syme devotes a great deal of time and newspaper space to the protest made by twenty thousand parents and those who have alleged that they know from personal knowledge of the existence of irregularities in the colored public schools. It seems to The Bee that the Board of Education, if it did feel disposed to investigate certain irregularities, has sufficient cause to hear the complaints alleged against the colored Assistant Superintendent of Schools. The Bee is not at all surprised. It stated some time ago that neither the Board of Education nor the Corporation Counsel would investigate these alleged charges. The fact of the matter is, the Parents' League didn't disclose. Congress is the place to which these facts should be presented, and then those who testified would have protection. While the Corporation Counsel has submitted his opinion to the Board of Education, the people and the league have their own opinion. If Mr. Syme is of the opinion that there is not sufficient cause to remove Mr. Bruce, he will be convinced otherwise, and neither his nor any other power will deter the league from doing its duty in behalf of the thousands of children in the public schools. If the Assistant Superintendent is not responsible for the proper conduct of the colored schools, who is? Who is? By what authority did the alleged Scientist Moens take pictures of pupils in the colored schools? Did Mr. Bruce have knowledge of the conduct of this alleged scientist? If he did or did not should be sufficient reason alone to retire him from our schools. Twenty thousand parents in this city, from the report of the league, filed a protest against the longer retention of Mr. Bruce as the supervisor of the colored schools. Is this protest to be ignored because a few white men on the Board of Education want him? The Bee is confident that the removal of Superintendent Ernest L. Thurston will take place at the next meeting of the board, if all reports are true. If Bruce has given satisfaction, certainly the Superintendent has also. The white people; it is alleged, don't want Mr. Thurston; then why should the colored people be compelled to submit to the longer retention of Mr. Bruce? Mr. Syme declared in his opinion that he has neither consulted nor conferred with anyone in making up his opinion. The will of the people will be vindicated, notwithstanding the opinion of the Corporation Counsel and the arbitrary action of the Board of Education. This is not final. REIGN OF TERROR.

The League will go to Congress. EDITOR MOORE'S BIRTHDAY. The editor of The Bee extends his congratulations to Editor Fred R. Moore on the occasion of his sixty-second birthday, which was duly celebrated by a surprise given him by his friends at the home of Dr. E. P. Roberts in New York. Those present consisted of many known citizens of the city of New York, including his immediate family. Baltimore and New York City hotel and restaurants are preparing for the last gay week. Hundreds of out-of-town folk from the nearby dry zones are arriving on all in-coming trains to attend the funeral of old "John Barleycorn." Conditions at the theatres, hotels and all places of amusement indicate that the "wets" are having their final fling. * * * The dance and cabaret places have doubled business as the time grows shorter. Monday night will be the final celebration at many New York drinking palaces, which will wind up at midnight, unless the President comes across with the order for demobilization. The thirty waiters sent from Washington to the "Homestead," at Hot Springs, Va., have returned to the city in time to book for Bay Head, N. J. Atlantic City and several other summer resorts have issued a call for twenty-five waiters; also, waiters are wanted for Asbury Park, N. J. From all reports, business at the seashores is increasing rapidly this season. *** "What will become of the bartenders?" was the subject discussed by Dr. Clark before the American Neurological Society. The good things said by Mr. Clark have caused the Bartenders' Union to tender the doctor a vote of thanks. Among the waiters to return to return to their old jobs at the New Ebbitt who were doing war work for the Government are Messrs. Linval N. Myers, George Sembly and Harry G. Mitchell of Anacostia. Major Joseph H. Ward is the guest of his sister, Mrs. Moody, and his niece, Mrs. Briggs, in Deanwood. VOTED A SUCCESS. Fishing Trip to Benedict Last Week Quite a Success. Benedict.

The party left Sunday evening for Washington, expressing their gratification and appreciation of the courtesies of the people who entertained them. BAPTISTS TO MEET. A Big Time in Richmond, Va., Next Week. Richmond, Va.—The one big event scheduled to take place in this city from Wednesday July 30, through August 3, is the grand reunion celebration of the Baptists of the State. This celebration will be held under the auspices of the Baptist General Association of Virginia, the Woman's Missionary and Educational Association; the State Sunday School Convention and the Baptist Young People's Union. The promoters of the movement are making preparations to entertain thousands of delegates and visitors from organizations, churches and clubs from all parts of the State, who are enrolled members of the denomination and also the public generally: The coming celebration will feature the struggles of the race from the landing of the first Negro slaves at Jamestown, Va., in 1619 to 1865 and the marvelous achievements of the race from April 9, 1865, to the present time. Another feature of the program will show the progress of the Negro Baptists in Virginia, covering a period of one hundred years. In recognition of the success of the denomination in the State, the above-named organizations have mapped out plans by which they expect to raise $25,000 for education and missions. JUDGE HEWLETT Writes to the Post—A Sensible Letter. June 20, 1919. Editor Post. Sir: I notice in your report of the proceedings of the School Board on Wednesday last, that you say, in speaking of the Parents' League, "Negroes again carried banners." While I feel certain you do not intend to offend or insult these or any class of loyal citizens, still I desire to state that the word "Negro" is very offensive. We should be spoken of as colored Americans, colored citizens, or colored people. We are Negroes in no sense of the word. We are to the manor born and as true and loyal Americans as ever trod our soil. FAMILY OF MUSICIANS. Lewis Thomas is some musical composer and progressive genius.

HAMILTON 1223 Twelfth Street Northwest Bust Developed If any lady was asked the question, "Would you like to be beautiful?" the answer would be "Yes." But any woman to be beautiful must possess a well-developed bust. Bust Developed If any lady was asked the question, "Would you like to be beautiful?" the answer would be "Yes." But any woman to be beautiful must possess a well-developed bust. How many times has this question been asked by women and growing girls, "What can I do to develop the bust? There are hundreds of women who were deficient in this respect, but who have been able to attain perfect developed bust by employing certain means to assist nature in building up the bust to its proper proportion. The remedy which is universally used and has established a wide reputation for this purpose is B-D MASSAGE CREAM (B-D means bust developer). This cream is readily absorbed by the tissues, rubs in dry and builds up the parts to their proportions. It is scientifically compounded for developing the bust. It can also be used to build up the neck, arms and shoulders. If you want a plump, full, beautiful bust, of real flesh, why begin the use of B-D MASSAGE CREAM at once; don't wait; the sooner the better. You will be surprised at the result obtained from use of the first jar of cream. Price $1.00 single jar.

Dear Mr. Secretary: Now that the especial work I was called to Washington to do is at an end, and also because of private ar- rangements which become effective July 1, I am writing to tender my resignation, to take effect June 30, 1919. Before retiring, however, I wish to convey to you this expression of my heartfelt appreciation of the privilege and honor of serving in your office, during the war, as Special Assistant, advising in matters affecting colored soldiers and Americans generally. It has been to me an experience of greatest moment, and I have sought diligently and as effectively as possible to serve the great cause in which all racial groups of Americans have had an interest in common. I shall carry back into civilian life the pleasantest recollections of your generous consideration, marked confidence and extreme courtesy during the nearly twenty-one months I have been here. Likewise, I am pleased to testify as to the uniform courtesy and consideration which have been shown me at all times by your entire office force. I am to remain in Washington as secretary-treasurer of Howard University and shall be pleased at any time to respond to any call for service wherein my judgment may be of value. Sincerely yours, Emmett J. Scott. Hon. Newton D. Baker, Secretary of War, Washington, D. C. War Department, Washington, June 13, 1919. Dear Mr. Scott: I have just received your letter of June 11, tendering your resignation to take effect June 30, 1919, and have noted my acceptance upon the paper. As you thus bring to an end your period of association with the department, I take the opportunity to express my deep appreciation of the fidelity, zeal and intelligence with which you have done the work entrusted to you. That it was difficult goes without saying; but your uniform sympathy and courtesy has, I feel very sure, enabled the War Department to make clear to the colored people of the United States its earnest desire to see their service in the great war rendered under circumstances satisfying alike to their ambition and pride. Taking it all in all, the relations between the War Department and the colored people of America have been sympathetic and helpful, the service rendered by colored soldiers and civilians has been conspicuous, and I trust that permanent value will accrue to the race, as well as to the country generally, from this great experience. Cordially yours, Newton D. Baker, Secretary of War. Mr. Emmett J. Scott, War Department. A QUARTER OF A CENTURY IN AMERICAN PUBLIC LIFE CHAPTER IIII The disturbed business conditions under the administration of Cleveland had augmented the strength of the revolt against the Southern Democracy, until the States of Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia polled 1,025,130 votes for McKinley in 1896. The strength of this vote can be appreciated when compared with the vote in these same States—1,129,714—that was cast for Parker for President in 1904. The disfranchisement laws had been set to work, however, in the meantime. The vote cast for Roosevelt in those States in 1904 was about 600,000. It is interesting to compare the vote cast for Kolb for governor of Alabama, the returned vote for the fusion ticket being almost entirely from the white counties of the State, with the vote now polled by the Democracy in Alabama. Kolb had 115,000 votes returned for him in 1892. Jones claimed 125,000 votes, which is far more than the present Democratic vote in the State. In fact, it is about the sum of the male citizens of the State. now eligible to vote. Where are the former voters? Triggered out of their suffrage rights, of course! There are about 300,000 white and 200,000 black male citizens of voting age in Alabama, and, with the Democratic primary deciding the elections, it is a condition wherein 50,000. Democratic ballots really determine who is to be governor or United States Senator. Capt. Pharr polled or had returned for him by the Democratic returning boards 90,138 votes for governor in Louisiana in 1892. The Democratic vote in the State does not exceed this vote given the fusion candidate for governor, Capt. Pharr, in 1892. What has become of those former voters, for they do not now swell the Democratic electorate? Have they hid out in the cane brakes or taken to the tall timber in the hills? What has become of the 148,334 voters who had supported the fusion ticket in North Carolina in 1894? Georgia polled 83,832 votes for the fusion ticket in 1896, when Judge Hines was a candidate, against the ballot-box-stuffing Democracy. This vote as returned does not represent the vote cast. The ballot-box-stuffing Democracy returned just such a number of votes as they had to return in the white counties. In the black county counties of the South they held elections in hogsheads and stuffed the Democratic ballots in with pile drivers, figuratively speaking. It may be recalled that in Tennessee, when H. Clay Evans, Republican, had been elected on the face of the returns, the Democratic Party added to the black belt count, after the election, when it was seen that not enough votes had been fraudulently counted to seat the Democratic candidate. These facts, in connection with the facts brought out in the contests in the lower House of Congress, as well as in the upper branch, clearly show the condition in the South under the frauds manipulation, and it is evidence, furthermore, of the motive and intent of the Southern Democracy in the coniving that followed to produce the present condition as a resultant of the so-called disfranchisement laws. the so-called disfranchisement laws. The nation was so ignorant of the true condition in the South, had so little knowledge of the struggle that had been going on for real democracy in the South, that so notorious a beneficiary of the black belt frauds as Thomas G. Jones was enabled through the influence of Booker T. Washington, to be named to a Federal judgeship. Emmett J. Scott, who was private secretary to Booker T. Washington, cites the bringing about of the appointment of Jones as an achievement; in the "Life of Booker Washington," written by Scott and another. The backing up of Jones by Booker Washington clearly establishes how much he failed to 'grasp the meaning of it all in this trampling underfoot of the rights of the people of Alabama and the South. To this very day the Negro in this nation, South and North, refers to disfranchisement in the South as "Négro disfranchisement," without seeming to comprehend that it is wholly a condition of outlawry of United States Constitutional ballot rights. More white male citizens of voting age are without voice in government, under the rule of the new political slavery, than colored. It is not, never has been, a case of "Negro disfranchisement" or of "getting rid of the Negro." It is a condition of maintaining minority rule by the oligarchy. When once this fake Negro issue is gotten out of the minds of the people of the entire country, when once the so-called Negro problem is brushed aside, then the question of whether or not the people of the South shall have plain United States government will be settled. It has been published, time and again, how 100,000 Democratic ballots dominate the State of Virginia, whereas there are 550,000 male citizens of voting age in this State. Over 240,000 whites of voting age are disfranchised in Virginia, and, even in the face of this fact, there are those all over the country who talk about "Negro disfranchisement," and Democrats in Virginia keep up the cry in that State of "white supremacy." The domination of the national government by the South in the saddle Democratic Party has caused the people of the North to become a bit more inclined to listen to facts about the South and less inclined to be misled by the Southern Democratic propaganda. There is an inclination to go deeply into this condition and not to accept the words of the shrewd Democratic politicians of the South at face value. The people of the North now know a great deal more about the cunning chicanery of the politicians who have put the South in the saddle and whose partisan administration of the national government has not left a marked impression of fairness. THE PHILIPPINES. Percentage of Literacy—Great Progress of a Race of People. Seventy per cent of the inhabitants of the Philippines over 10 years old are literate, as shown by the 1918 census, according to a cable just received by the War Department from Vice Governor Yeater, at Manila. Of the estimated population of 10,500,000, 10,000,000 are civilized Christians, while 500,000 represents the non-Christians or so-called wild tribes. The latter, however, are included in the population, of which 70 per cent are literate. The percentage of literacy in the Philippines, as shown by the census just completed, is almost as high as that of some of the Southern States of the Union, higher than that of Greece, Italy, Portugal, Roumania and Serbia. It is also higher than that of any of the new countries whose independence is being recognized by the Allies. It is pointed out that there is every reason for the literacy of the Philippines to be still higher within the next few years, through the action of the Philippine Legislature at its last session in voting 30,000,000 pesos to extend the educational system so that schools will be available to every child and youth in the Philippines. Between 1912 and 1918 the total number of children in school increased from 440,000 to 675,000, a gain of 54 per cent in six years. The number of intermediate pupils grew to 67,000, a gain of 160 per cent. The number of high school students reached 16,000, a gain of 220 per cent. The Philippine Legislature, composed entirely of Filipinos, now supports 4,700 schools, with a teaching force of 12,303 teachers. All instruction is in English, and will continue to be in English if independence is granted. A large number of additional American teachers are to be employed and sent to the Philippines within the next year. All of the expense of education is being paid by the Philippine government. SCHOOL FOR ANARCHISM Editor of The Bee: Socialism is the training school for anarchism and the Bolsheviki; everyone at all informed is aware of that fact. There is no secret, either, in the predominance of certain socialist influences in the so-called National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The activities in the socialist propaganda, indulged in by Mary White Ovington, chairman of the executive board, of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, is well known. Just last week a raid was made by the authorities on the Bolshevik headquarters in New York City. The leading daily paper made public the mailing list of this den of un-Americanism, and it included a long list of anarchists, socialists and Bolshevik leaders. The name of Mary White Ovington adorned that last. There are colored teachers, some secretaries of Y. M. C. A. organizations, some heads of institutions of learning who go among business people soliciting funds; and it behooves those who believe in square dealing to let philanthropy know to whom and for what they are giving. Many colored men and women are hippodroming around backing up this socialist-tainted National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. I, for one, propose that, true Americans be forewarned against donating when and where it means sowing the seeds of anarchy. These people ought not to have such an imposition "put over" on them as contributing to causes which nurture this sort of thing. It would be infamous not to inform the public generally. Joseph C. Manning. New York, June 21, 1919. ASSAULTS COLORED CITIZEN A Southern Captain Pulled Off Shrine Pin—Case Reported to the Conductor, Without Result. While Mr. and Mrs. Greenlease, of this city, who had boarded a Pennsylvania car at Baltimore, Tuesday morning, 1.34 a.m., on their way to this city, Mr. Greenlease walked through car No. 181189, and was accosted by a Southern cracker wearing a captain's uniform and asked what right he had to wear a Shriner's pin. Without giving him time to answer, this cracker snatched the pin from the lapel of Mr. Greenlease's coat and threw it out of the car window. Mr. Greenlease reported the incident to the conductor, who escorted him to the captain of Southern proclivities, who was asked why he had assaulted Mr. Greenlease. In reply to the question, the cracker said, "Yes; I struck him, and if he doesn't get out of the car I will pitch him out." This is all the redress that Mr. Greenlease received from the conductor on the Pennsylvania Railroad. Mr. Greenlease left.

Burning of Souls’ “Eternal Reward— ‘The President Doing His Bit for Lasting Peace. : _ By. Cunningham.” One can scarcely pick up a news paper nowadays without viewing a ghastly crime of lynching in the “In- dependent South.” I say “Independ- vent South” because © the South has proven herself just as much “inde- pendent” ag. she could possibly have been had she won the war during the bloody conflict in 1861-65. ° She so Lnawn throughort the world’ as the “Solid South.” | She-is bounded, jor rather fixed, between the United States and Mexico. ' But even the de- mons in hell would bow’ thel! beads, and veil their faces. in shamie if forced to claim her as their next | door neighbor, for even Nineveh, that wicked city in’ the days of old, was a heaven on earth beside her. Uncle Sam seems to be-both afraid. and ashamed of her, for she not only de- fics the United. States, ‘which she cpce sought to destroy, but: she. seems to have kicked’ clear out of the traces and gotten completely out of reach of God! ‘Hence, is there no balm in Gilead, is there no physi- cian to cure her of her damnable ha- tred and burning pf human souls at will? a | Must the burning of human souls” in the South be the eternal’ reward for the colored boys who.shed their blood in the trenches in France to uphold the honor. of this country? Will this country sit quietly down . Jand allow. the ‘insolent hoodlums .of the South to--scorn the brave col- ored ‘boys who today are ‘sleeping in theit graves in order that she might ever live and be honored and respect- ed bythe rest of the great powers of the- world? ; Is it not about time to say to the South that she-has lived outside the church long -enough -and that she must repent of her many. sins and’ come in, or she'll be forced in, and be baptized in, the pool of civilization. and receive the charge that she must’ hereafter respect - the rules and regulations of. this coun- try along with the rest of, us, or else— ee It is €rue that’ our ‘President is very busy in his ‘earnest endeavors to bring about thé League of Na- tions and is trying to’¢o all he can to. inake it pogsible for a lasting peace on’ earth, while: the rights of | |men and women in-his dwn country - lare being sadly neglected.

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.
