Dear Chase, Washington Bee: The colored troops fought nobly. We have something to fight for now. We are only defending ourselves against American prejudice, discrimination, segregation and invasion of our civil and political rights.' God is with us, and He stamps world democracy a sham. Hayes. The colored troops fought no for now. We are only defending dice, discrimination, segregation a cal rights. God is with us, and H RECENT RIOTS. N. A. A. C. P. Does Good Work—Legal Department at Work. The District of Columbia Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, through its executive committee, has issued an additional statement setting forth the activities of the branch in connection with the recent riots here. A statement outlining the work of the branch up to Wednesday, July 23, was mailed to all members of the branch last week. A few of the members may not have received that statement, due to names being overlooked in the haste of mailing out the large number necessary. Also names of many of the members who joined this year have not yet been added to the mailing list. The statement this week is issued through the press and announces that following its decision to offer legal assistance to all persons charged with rioting, the committee placed the matter in the hands of the legal committee with power to take necessary action. Due to the absence from the city of Mr. Cobb, chairman of the committee, the work was placed in the hands of Mr. Royal Hughes, who appeared before the committee on last Saturday and outlined the situation. He promised to see that no defendant appeared before the court without counsel. In view of the fact that those sentenced later in the week received lighter sentences than those tried immediately after Monday night's fighting and in many instances were placed on probation, Mr. Hughes agreed to take the necessary action to reopen all the cases in which the extreme sentences had been imposed, with a view of having these sentences lightened. It was also decided to make to counsel for Miss Johnson and Mr. Walker a formal tender of the association's services, through Mr. Hughes as counsel for the branch. The committee states that it has received many offers of donations or subscriptions, and a number of inquiries as to whether funds would be solicited. At the present time the finances of the branch are ample to meet all demands now in sight, and unless future developments should show the necessity for additional funds, no donations or subscriptions will be solicited. An incident showing the popular interest in the cause of the men under arrest is the fact that Mt. Zion Baptist Church sent a contribution of $42 for their assistance, entirely unsolicited. This is also a gratifying indication of popular confidence in the branch. INCITING RIOT CHARGED TO WASHINGTON POST N. A. A. C. P. Asks Indictment for Publishing "Mobilization for Tonight" Item on Monday, July 21. Action by the Attorney General of the United States against the Washington Post on the ground of incitement to riot in connection with the recent race riots in Washington is asked in a letter sent to Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer today by John R. Shillady, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People: The letter is as follows: --- VOL. XL. NO. 9 The Washington Bee "Attorney General United States, "Washington, D. C. Dear Sir: "The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People respectfully asks if the office of the United States Attorney General intends proceeding against the Washington Post, on the ground of incitement to riot, in connection with the recent disorders in Washington. "The ground for such procedure seems to lie in matter published on the first page of the Washington Post on the morning of Monday, July 21, on the evening of which day the worst disorders occurred. "The matter referred to reads as follows: "Mobilization for Tonight "It was learned that a mobilization of every available service man stationed in or near Washington or on leave here has been ordered for tomorrow evening near the Knights of Columbus hut, on Pennsylvania avenue between Seventh and Eighth streets. "The hour of assembly is 9 o'clock and the purpose is a "clean-up" that will cause the events of the last two evenings to pale into insignificance. "Whether official cognizance of this assemblage and its intent will bring about its forestalling cannot be told." "In view of the fact that the 'mobilization' announced by the Washington Post had not been ordered by any authority, military or civil, does not the passage show intent by the Washington Post to bring about such 'mobilization'? "Sincerely yours, (Signed) "John R. Shillady, "Secretary." MY APPEAL. By E. A. Chacé. Every civilization justly knows self-sacrificing patriots. Those colored citizens of Washington who faced duty in an hour that tries the courage and tests the real lofty qualities in man, were patriots whose deeds deserve to live side by side with all others who have been willing to give life for the sacred principles of liberty and that others might live. These people who fell in defense of their race, therefore, were patriots in the cause of democracy for a long-downtrodden but loyal and patriotic people. People who have made red the battle fields not only of their own country but those of France by freely spilling their blood so that "the world might be a decent place in which to live." France, ever loyal to her old traditions, has sounded the keynote of the equality of races, as may be seen by the following clipping from the Evening Star of July 26, 1919: "ALLEGE YANKS ABUSED "Colored Deputies in Chamber Told U. S. Government Has Expressed Regret. "Paris, July 25 (by the Associated Press).—The government was interpellated in the chamber of deputies this afternoon on the rough treatment French colored soldiers are alleged to have received from the American military police in French "July 25, 1919. WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, AUGUST 2, 1919. ports. The questions were asked by M. Boisneuf and M. Lagrosilliere, colored deputies, respectively, from Guadeloupe and Martinique. "The debate that ensued ended with the unanimous adoption of the following resolution: 'The chamber, faithful to the immortal principles of the rights of man, condemning all prejudices of religion, caste or race, solemnly affirms the absolute equality of all men without distinction of race or color and their right to the benefit and protection of all the laws of the country. The chamber counts upon the government to apply these laws and see that the necessary penalties for their infringement are inflicted.' "Jules Pams, minister of the interior, replying to the colored deputies, said that the government has applied penalties and asked them not to insist upon a discussion of 'the very regrettable incidents, as France does not forget the services rendered by her colored sons.' "The minister of the interior added that the American government had not hesitated to express regrets in terms that did France the greatest honor." We feel that this is the dawn of a new democracy, the beginning of a greater and stronger brotherhood of man. We therefore hope that every loyal Afro-American will unite in all efforts to meet the new era by showing the proper material appreciation for our heroic riot victims by contributing to a fund to meet their every need. Let every village and every hamlet in the District of Columbia collect its quota for this noble cause and pool a creditable sum, which may be placed to our credit in the bank at Eleventh and U streets as an honor to the race. CHAUTAUQUA CONCERTS VERY PLEASING The Archie Harrod Chautauqua Concert Company thrilled the audience at Mt. Olive Baptist Church and last Tuesday night at Hillsdale C. M. E. Church, Anacostia, D. C. Immediately arrangements were made for a return engagement. Washington musical enthusiasts highly commend Archie Harrod for his success. THE PARENTS' LEAGUE. Big Meeting Tuesday Night—The City to Be Divided in Sections—A Determined Fight of the People—Nothing Will Satisfy the People But the Removal of Bruce. Twelve hundred members of the Parents' League assembled in the Metropolitan Methodist Church on Tuesday evening to discuss the pubschool questions. After addresses by Attorney R. R. Horner, Judge Hewlett, Dr. Waldron and Attorney Hill and others, Dr. Tanner raised a large collection. The people have lost none of their enthusiasm. Attorney Horner delivered one of the most eloquent and effective speeches that one would wish to hear. The league divided the city into sections, and many have volunteered to serve and visit every home in the city in which a child of school age lives. A committee was appointed to be present at the meeting of the Board of Education Wednesday. The league adjourned, to meet again Tuesday, August 5. MEMORIAL TO THE LATE ROBERT HERNDON Resolutions of the Tau Delta Sigma Fraternity. Whereas the great and supreme Ruler of the Universe has in His infinite wisdom removed from among us one of our worthy and esteemed fellow-laborers, Robert Herndon; and whereas the long and intimate relation held with him in the faithful discharge of his duties in this fraternity makes it eminently befitting that we record our appreciation of him; therefore, Resolved, That the wisdom and ability which he has exercised in the aid of our fraternity by service, con- WAIT UNTIL I'DISARM HIM IN THE NAME OF THE LAW SURRENDER YOUR GUN IT IS MY ONLY PROTECTION tributions and counsel will be held in grateful remembrance; Resolved, That the sudden removal of such a life from among our midst leaves a vacancy and a shadow that will be deeply realized by all the members and friends of this fraternity and will prove a serious loss to the community and the public. Resolved, That with deep sympathy with the bereaved relatives of the deceased we express our hope that even so great a loss to us all may be overruled for good by Him who doeth all things well. Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be spread upon the records of this organization, a copy printed in the local paper and a copy forwarded to the bereaved family. FROM A WHITE MAN'S PEN. A Letter that Daily Papers Refused to Publish—What Would Become of the Nation?—A Just Decision. "Washington, D. C., "July 24, 1919. "To the Editor, "The Washington Evening Star, "Washington, D. C. "My Dear Sir: "In the opinion of the writer, it behooves all publicists and others whose position and ability enable them to exert an influence upon the public mind, to seriously set about the task of correcting the lamentable prejudices and misinformation of the masses which is primarily responsible for the race rioting which has recently disgraced the Nation's Capital. "The Negroes as a race are mentally inferior to the whites, but such inferiority is no more to be condemned or despised than is the immature condition of fruit before it has had time to mature and ripen. In other words, as compared with the mental development of the Anglo-Saxons and other white races, the Negroes are relatively children. "Measured in terms of truth and justice, the Negroes—as a race—are certainly not morally inferior to the whites. By this I mean that as measured by their state of development and their opportunities, the Negroes have not willfully, consciously and selfishly used their abilities to subjugate, gain power over, take at an unfajir advantage or dominate and impose upon the whites. By all the higher moral standards of reckoning, it is the whites who have chiefly sinned against the blacks and are therefore responsible for the plight in which the Negroes in this country are placed. "While it is true in many respects they exhibit the crudities of immin-distinguish the Negroes from the whites are chiefly local and personal and by no means as subtle, far-reaching and invasive in their effects as are the evils of which we whites, and our ancestors, have been notoriously guilty, especially in our dealings with 'inferior races,' notably the Indians and Negroes. "Those who are so ready to condemn and persecute Negroes should bear in mind that the blacks are not here by any choice of their own or of their ancestors. It was our white ancestors who deliberately, selfishly and maliciously misused their superior intelligence and resources in going after, hunting, trapping and dragging to our shores and enslaving the Africans who were contentedly attending and quite willing to continue confining their attention to their own affairs. After having dragged these unwilling captives to America and making slaves of them, it became a quite general custom for the hot-blooded and passionate males of the white race to cohabit with the female slaves, as a result of which generations of mongrels were born, so that today there are very few of pure African blood to be found in America. While it is shocking and most lamentable that colored men occasionally assail white women, yet if we would but take a fair and passionate view of the subject I am sure that all who love and are capable of appreciating justice would realize that we are but suffering, in a moderate form, the results of evils that our own boastfully superior race imposed upon these weaker and less capable humans. "It appears to be a law of nature that the sins of the fathers are visited upon the children of succeeding generations. For every white woman who becomes the victim of a Negro's lust, there stands the record of scores, nay hundreds, of Negro women in slavery days who were forcibly torn from their chosen mates, separated from their desired children and compelled to submit to the lustful embraces of their white masters. We of America have the Negro problem upon our hands as an inescapable and essentially just retribution. It is the price we must pay for the criminal selfishness of our ancestors." "To be just does not imply the condoning of crime and vice. But two wrongs will never make a right, and when white men proceed to assault those that they consider base and inferior in the way numbers of them have been doing here in Washington of late, and which is so frequently resorted to in many sections of our country, they place themselves on a much lower level than the Negroes they condemn and abuse. "Quite apart from the moral issues involved in the Negro question, those who are so ready to denounce the blacks should be required to consider the very serious business, commercial and domestic problems with which the nation would be confronted if all the Negroes could be immediately done away with. If we were suddenly deprived of the labor performed by Negroes, the nation would suffer a calamity immeasurably more damaging and costly than the entire cost of our participation in the great war. I mean to say that if the labor of Negroes on our farms and in various industries, as well as in domestic service, were to be abruptly cut off that the effects would be more of a staggering and costly blow to our commercial and domestic interests than we have suffered incidental to our participation in the war.

CONGRESS I trust that The Bee will urge the House of Representatives, now controlled by Republicans, to pass a resolution authorizing a House committee to investigate the suffrage situation in the South. I trust that The Bee will urge that letters be sent to Republican members of the House, urging this action: Joseph C. Manning. July 26, 1919. Let The Bee follow you. TOLERANCE IS KEYNOTE OF ABDUL BAHA'S TEACHING "You try to make the Howard student body the goat, but if you open your eyes you will be surprised to see from whom a great deal of the disorderly conduct comes. "Again, you seem to have some grudge against the university and the students and have used this unfair method for your propaganda. "Eupch Stah." Next time, the writer sends a letter to the Sage he is advised to sign his name, not necessarily for publication but as a guarantee of good faith. A few days ago I was confronted with a statement or criticism against the actions of the Parents' League, to the effect that it should not have advised the colored people to remain indoors. This advice cante as the other, from the alleged law-abiding citizens, who were afraid to walk the streets escorted by Major Pullman's guardians of peace. It makes me sick to talk after such individuals. The Parents' League did the right thing in advising colored women and children to remain indoors. Why should they have exposed themselves any more than this alleged law-abiding element? It is too amusing to think about. After the battle I expect to receive and publish all kinds of advice from the law-abiding citizens. W. Calvin has a little more space left; let him hear from a few more of the Princes of Peace. I received in my box*a few days ago a note signed "Eupch Stah." A person who fails to sign his name, I have a poor opinion of what he says. "Stah" whoever he may be, claims to have been a student at Howard University, and he calls the attention of the Sage to its statement relative to the noisy element that makes evenings hideous at the Howard Theatre. This noisy element is composed not only of many Howard students but sons from some of the best known colored families in the city. The Sage has nothing to take back. The management of the Howard Theatre endeavors to please the people. Thousands of dollars have been spent and time sacrificed to please the patrons of the theatre. I will publish "Stah's" note and the next time I witness this noisy crowd I will have the management to make an example of it for the benefit of "Stah." (The Sage of the Potomac, "The Sage of the Potomac, "Care Washington Bee. "Dear Sir: "In your paper of July 19 you have an article about the conduct of some in the Howard Theatre and claim that the most noisy and disorderly element comes from Howard University. I attended the weekly shows and the supper shows practically daily at the Howard Theatre for the four years while I was a student in Howard University; and I have been as regular since my graduation. Never have I noticed a Howard student acting otherwise than gentlemanly, and they never hesitate to give their seats to ladies when the theatre is crowded. There is an element that attends the theatre who has little respect for anyone, especially women, and utter openly the most insulting remarks. Often have I seen Howard students resent such conduct and see to it that such ceased while they were in the show. CONCERNING To the Editor of The Bee: Turned up by the Lusk legislative committee, to investigate the operations of the Bolsheviki in New York, there is much to show the workings of the minds, of the Socialists. Editor The Bee: The essential message in the Bahai revelation is the universality of religion. Religion should be inclusive; too often we find it to be exclusive. Only on a broad, tolerant religion can that true civilization rest which would prevent the growth of that arrogant nationalism and militarism from the effects of which the whole world is suffering today. There is nothing new in this, and therein lies its strength. What Jesus taught of old, Baha-o'lah repeats today. The urgency of the message lies in the fact that the teachings have not been obeyed, and hence they must be repeated, for there is nothing more vital to the souls of men than the spirit of religion. Abdul Baha says: "As on a beautiful day, the sun shines brightly upon the earth, giving light and warmth to all creatures, so the Sun of Truth (which is religious guidance) is shining, giving light and warmth to the souls of men. The material sun is the giver of life to the bodies of all creatures upon earth; without its warmth their growth would be stunted, their development arrested; they would decay and die. Even so do the souls of men need the Sun of Truth to shed its rays upon them, to educate and encourage them. "A man may have attained to a high degree of material progress, but, without the light of truth, his soul is stunted and starved. Another man may have no material gifts, may be at the bottom of the social ladder, but, having received the warmth of the sun of truth, his soul is great, and his spiritual understanding is enlightened. "This philosopher spoke with profound wisdom, for the civilization of Christianity was the best and most enlightened in the world. The Christian teaching was illuminated by the divine sun of truth, and its followers were taught to love their neighbors as themselves; to love all men as brothers; to forget their own selfish interests in striving for the greater good of humanity, and to fear nothing in this cause, not even death. The great aim of the religion of Christ was to draw the hearts of all men nearer to God's effulgent truth." If the followers of the Lord Christ had continued to carry out these principles with steadfast faithfulness, there would have been no need for a renewal of the Christian message, no necessity for a re-awakening of His people, for a great and glorious civilization would now be overspreading the world, far surpassing any that we have attained, and the kingdom of heaven would have come on earth. "But instead of this, what has taken place? Men have turned away their faces from following the divinely illuminated precepts of their Master, and now winter has fallen upon their hearts. For, as the body of man depends for life upon the rays of the sun, so the celestial virtues of the soul depend upon the radiance of the Sun of Truth. "God leaves not His children comfortless, but when the darkness of winter overshadows them, then again He sends. His messengers, the prophets, with a renewal of the blessed spring. The Sun of Truth appears again on the horizon of the world, shining into the eyes of those who sleep, awakening them to behold the glory of a new dawn. Then again will the tree of humanity blossom and bring forth the fruit of righteousness, for the healing of the nations. "Because man has stopped his ears to the voice of truth and shut his eyes to the sacred light, neglecting the law of God, for this reason has the darkness and tumult of war desolated the earth. "I pray that every child of God may be brought into the light of the Sun of Truth, that the darkness may be dissipated by the penetrating rays of its glory, and the winter's hardness and cold may be melted away by the merciful warmth of its radiance." Jos. H. Hannen. Joseph C. Manning and Bolshevism You probably have tried all sorts of remedies on your scalp without getting the desired results, until you have become discouraged and lost confidence in all hair remedies. Thousands of others, like yourself, finally turned to using Seeby's Quinade, and have been so pleased with the result they would never again waste their time or money using anything else. Quinade is not an ordinary pomade; it is highly medicated and is a real scalp food. Quinade stimulates and nourishes the roots of the hair, causing a natural growth of long, straight hair. It will make coarse, stubborn hair soft and silky, and easy to put up in the style desired. Quinade will positively allay itching of the scalp; and dandruff, which is the real cause of most hair and scalp troubles. To get best results from the use of Quinade, one should shampoo the scalp every two weeks with Seeby's Quonasoap, a soap made entirely of pure vegetable oils. Quinasoap lathers very freely and is a thorough cleanser. It leaves the hair soft and fluffy and imparts a refreshing feeling to the scalp unequaled by afty 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.

In an account of the findings of the committee, as it proceeds in getting information, the following is clipped from The Sun, June 28: "Outlining what might be done to get the Negroes into the Socialist ranks, the writer said the most important centers of propaganda were the colored churches, but it would be impossible to get in, there now because colored ministers are the most parasitic of all celestial navigators. "These were some of the suggestions outlined in the Domingo memorandum: 1. Condemn all forms of injustice to Negroes. 2. Socialists must denounce lynchings. 3. Give the Negroes more prominence in Socialist discussions. 4. Seek to overthrow all racial barriers. 5. Provide special propaganda for Negroes. 6. Induce Negroes to attend radical meetings. 7. Maintain subsidized Negro speakers. 8. Radical Negro publications must be supplied with financial assistance. 9. White men should be provided to speak to Negroes." To "catch" the support of colored people, to get them lined up, "Socialists must denounce lynchings." Two or three years ago a poster was circulated by this association. It was a picture of a horrible lynching. It was headed: "To stop lynching!" Of course, the way to "stop lynching" was to send money to this organization. Charles Edward Russell, journalist, said, in Cleveland, that the colored people could unite and throw the election the way they wanted. These Socialists and Negro, Democrats and Wilson Democrats, like Gomez and Villard, helped to do that very thing in placing Wilson! Lynching will not stop in the South until there is the rule of the people in the South. Lynching will not stop in the South until government is responsive to the rights of the governed and is enthroned by the consent of the governed. The only way to upturn the Southern oligarchy is to hit hard in the North; destroy it by voting against the South in the coddle Democracy in the North. The South laughs at this National Association and lynches more than it would, just to show these filmmakers what they can do. I believe, solemnly believe, that the methods of the National Association encourage injustices in the South; that it makes the South more defiant! The South knows that it is a joke. "It protests"—this organization does—and without the common sense to understand that lynching government goes hand in hand with lynching citizens.

S. directors in the completion of a class of fifty young women to go to various parts of the country to do uplift work among the colored women of the race. Among the number who took the course from this city were Misses Virginia Williams; Ida C. Plummer, who was appointed to go to Little Rock, Ark.; Mrs. E. F. McKinley, to Charleston, S. C.; Mrs. Julia Shaw to Columbus, Ohio; Mrs. Ollie Jones, Indianapolis, Miss Estella Pinkney, to St. Louis, Mo.; Miss Mary Stewart, to Pittsburgh, Pa.; and many others from different parts of the North and East were sent to a number of Southern cities, where the work is so much needed.

Brooks, at the conclusion of his sermon last Sunday, from the 37th Psalm, first verse—"Fret not thyself, because of evil doers," said, among other things, the following: "Every citizen owes it to himself, to his country, and to his God to be law abiding, and in this manner to respect the rights, the property and the person of his fellow-citizens. "But as a matter of fact, crime abounds, to a greater or less degree, in all lands and among all races and peoples, and it has ever been so. Hence the existence of police power, to prevent crime and to punish criminals. "In the absence of constituted authority to deal with crime and criminals, civilization builds upon a foun- M. dation of shifting sand, and when, for any cause, the police power is overthrown or yields itself to the reign of a mob, a state of anarchy exists. "It is to be regretted that the city of Washington, D. C., has of late been terrorized by lawless mobs. "Unoffending, innocent men and women have been dragged from the street cars and brutally beaten; private homes have been rudely and murderously invaded, where there was absolutely no justification for the invasion, and helpless women, without the protection of any male persons in the house, have been aroused from sleep, and, without having time to dress, have been forced to face these intruders in a single sleeping garment and listen to their insults. "Men, unarmed and innocent of any crime against the community, have been murdered in our streets, and when, after two days of suffering the outrages of this reign of the mob, the objects of their hate were forced to arm themselves and fight for their homes and their lives, or die like cringing dogs, a war of the races was actually inaugurated; and, as in war, men fell wounded, and men died. "The men who were forced to purchase, arms and use them in self-defense and in defense of their homes may be branded as criminals, imprisoned and in some cases executed, while the members of the mob and their allies go unpunished, but God lives, and He will not be unmindful of the great injustice. 'I will repay, saith the Lord.' "It is to be hoped that the like scenes will never again occur in this city and that irresponsible groups of citizens may not again usurp the reins of government to the shame of the American people: "No crimes have occurred here the punishment of which is not provided for in the law. Let the men who are clothed with police power do their duty or give place to men who can and will do so: "The innocent must not be outraged and killed for the criminal, who goes unapprehended and unpunished, and the very foundations of civilized life must not be shaken to no avail. Nor must the Ku Klux Klan, of the Reconstruction period, that institution of murder which was born of the Civil War, now re-born, be suffered to fabricate accounts of assaults upon women, where assaults have not been committed, nor must women who glory in kindling the fires of race hate by the manufacture of false tales of outrage, be allowed to stir the community to madness by their lies. No wonder criminals of the vilest type cannot be apprehended and punished, when they are only the fictions of an evil mind. "God, save us from this hate of man to man and give us love and the spirit of justice and kindness to the human family, and so may we live in peace with all men, as far as in us lies, trusting in the one God; rejoicing in the one Saviour Jesus Christ, filled with the one Holy Spirit of God, glorifying the one blood which characterizes mankind as human, in the purity and loftiness of all that is noble in life, and all the while doing unto others of every race and rank as we would have them do unto us."

Boston, Massachusetts. — William Monroe Trotter, of this city, the only one of eleven delegates chosen by American Negroes to represent them at the Paris Peace Conference who actually reached France, last night, at a public meeting in Tremont Temple, told of his difficulties in getting abroad, and gave an account of his work in the French capital. The eleven delegates were chosen at a national assembly of the Negroes of this country, held under the auspices of the National Equal Rights League in Washington last December. They were instructed to place before the Peace Conference the claims of the estimated 14,000,000 Negroes in the United States for equal rights and no discrimination. All the elected delegates but Mr. Trotter applied for passports and failed to receive them. The Negroes felt that the State Department had wronged them, Mr. Trotter said, in refusing to grant passports, because, when soldiers and civilians were needed to win the war, the promise of world democracy was held out and was accepted as genuine by the Negroes. The Negroes. Mr. Trotter said, are practically the only element in this country who are denied complete democracy, and therefore need it. "To deny even the right of petition we felt was extraordinary tyranny," he said, "flagrant enough to justify us in seeking to overcome it." Got a Job as Second Cook. Mr. Trotter took the money raised for his trip to Paris, after having arranged his own affairs, and went to a seaport city, disguised, where he tried to obtain passage without a passport. This means failed, but to avoid violating any laws, he obtained a seaman's passport. He had considerable difficulty in getting a job on a ship, but after a course in cooking in a lodging house, he gained, through his persistence, the sympathy of a Negro cook on a small steamship and was signed, as second cook. The job hunt took six weeks. On reaching Havre, the ship did not dock for several days, but at last the opportunity came to go ashore. Mr. Trotter found that all members of the crew were prohibited from landing, but got a chance to go on the wharf to mail a letter written by the cook. Then, although he was in his working clothes, he continued into Havre and found that no train was available until morning. He had been obliged to leave all his belongings on shipboard, but had a small sum of money with him. He boarded an early morning train to Paris, where he learned that the peace terms had just been handed Germany. He also found at about this time that the State Department had ruled against granting any passports to American Negroes and considered his course thereby justified. Mr. Trotter promptly sent protests to the Council of Five, and to Gen. Foch, against the denial of passports to American Negroes, and against the failure to insert in the peace treaty a clause guaranteeing them life and liberty. The protest charged that war pledges had been violated. He then presented copies of the protest to the Paris newspapers and to the American newspaper offices in that city. "The next day," said Mr. Trotter. "I began my work of letting the world know that the Negro race wants full liberty and equality of rights, as the fruit of the world war. The Journal des Debats, L'Intransigeant and Le Petit Journal used the communications I sent them. I sent copies of the protest to every peace delegate and received sympathetic acknowledgments from many of them. Jews Received Everything. "The Jews have received everything they asked from the Peace Conference. But here, in the United States, is an ethnical minority denied equal rights, and we are asking that we be accorded only what everyone else has. After the Memorial Day speech of President Wilson, I prepared a statement recalling that many of the American troops were Negroes, and, in view of a lynching which had just occurred in Missouri, demanding that in justice to them he ask Congress for a Federal law against lynching. This statement was widely published in the French press and was cabled to this country by the Associated Press. "The colored soldiers in France charged that they had been discriminated against in France. Leave was regulated by the color fine, and Negro troops were restricted from visiting large cities, certain streets and certain cafes. The white soldiers spread damaging stories about the colored men, in order to make the French people fear them. All menial tasks were shouldered upon colored Keep Your Hair In Fine Condition— Smooth and Glossy by using Howard's Hair Pomade 25c Size 15c For Sale at All the Peoples Drug Stores soldiers. I prepared a protest to President Wilson in behalf of the colored soldiers, which was also widely published in France. I also gave to the French press the facts about a particularly atrocious lynching in the South. "I was unable to obtain an audience with President Wilson of Premier Clemenceau. On the day that the Germans signed the peace treaty I felt that my work had been completed, and on July 4 I sent to Sir Eric Dummond, of the secretariat of the League of Nations, suggestions for amendment of the covenant in the interest of American Negroes. I then returned to America as a passenger." Cleveland, Ohio, July 23. Why should so many women grow old before their time—lose the charms of personal appearance long before the hour set for old age's arrival? This is the question that prompted Mme. Beckwith to originate the Ambrosia Treatment and secure for her company, the Ambrosia Toilet Company, formulae for preserving, restoring, enhancing and acquiring beauty for women. It has been said that colored women, and only because they neglect beauty culture, grow old and lose the charms of youth's freshness long before their time; that their moon is up before their sun has gone down. With a view of stopping the ravages of premature age among women, and especially among colored women, the Ambrosia Toilet Company of this city has employed expert chemists who are constantly studying and developing formulae for beauty culture. Mme. Beckwith, the founder of the Ambrosia Treatment, discussing the personal charms of colored women, recently said the following: "Colored women possess the natural requisite for years of retention of their personal charms, and the best foundation upon which to build up attractiveness of person. There is absolutely no reason why, and no excuse for colored women to go through life with short, stubborn, coarse hair, and inexpressibly dark, rough complexions, when proper treatment will give them long, silky hair and beautiful complexions, many shades brighter. "Originally the short, woolly hair of colored people was long, straight locks, and the complexion fair—even more beautiful than many white complexions of today. Merely climatic conditions changed the hair and complexion of their forefathers. Now if merely climatic conditions were responsible for this change, why should not colored women and men, if they desire, return to the prchistoric hair and complexions of that previous age? They can do it, and easily, too. Ambrosia preparations, the result of scientific investigations and experiments by expert chemists, will do the work, or one's money is returned. Ambrosia preparations for the hair make it grow long and straight in the shortest possible time, and that, too, without changing the color of the hair, as many so-called hairstraighteners do. Ambrosia Bleachicne gives to the darkest complexion a soft, smooth and brighter color. These preparations are French in quality, French in spirit and irresistibly French in charm. "Far too many colored women grow old and lose their charm of face and hair before the time for old age to begin its ravages. Far too many colored women go through life handicapped with short, stubborn hair and unattractive complexions when they can improve both. "It is always tragic to me to observe colored women growing old before their time; to see ordinarily attractive millinery out of place on a woman's head merely because the woman has neglected to cultivate long, straight hair. It is always tragic to me to observe colored women going through life with rough, bad complexions only because they neglect to give proper attention to beauty culture. "Those who seek to better their hair, to improve what they have, or restore that which they once had, or to preserve, improve, or acquire a beautiful complexion, have only to send a two-cent postage stamp to the Ambrosia Toilet Company, 2134 Central avenue, Cleveland, Ohio, and a copy of the booklet, "Natural Beauty," will be sent. This booklet tells all women the secret of good looks—of beautiful hair and complexion." HOWARD UNIVERSITY WASHINGTON, D. C.

THE RIGHTS OF THE BLACK MAN. The rights of the people have been violated by a class of irresponsible people. The recent riot was started by certain soldiers and marines. When the colored men in the Southwest were attacked, they defended themselves. When they exercised their constitutional rights, they were called "crapshooters and bootleggers." The attack upon colored citizens of every description, standing and occupation began Sunday, July 19. The colored citizens were taken by surprise. Colored women were taken from street cars and assaulted; colored men were also taken from street cars and assaulted, and the only persons arrested were colored citizens. Those who had arms to protect themselves were arrested and charged with carrying concealed weapons. They were carried to the Police Court, and no matter what their defense was, they were convicted. White men who were assaulting colored citizens were not arrested. Soldiers, marines and policemen sided with the white mob. The killing of young Neal was one of the most cowardly murders that was ever perpetrated upon a young man who had been to France to fight for world democracy. At the time young Neal was killed he had committed no offense. Colored citizens were told to disarm, while the white mob killed them. It is said that it was cavalry that kept the mob from invading South Washington and the Northwest colored section. It was the well-organized citizens who were prepared to meet all invaders; it was the determination of the black man to protect his home, his wife and his children; it was the determination of the law-abiding citizens to protect themselves, because the police authorities were powerless to protect them. As an evidence of that, Sergeant Detective Jackson was shot in the presence of his brave partner, while hundreds of the mob looked on. The time has come in the history of the colored Americans to protect themselves against the cowardly attacks of a mob, no matter what its nationality may be. The mob did not select those upon whom it committed assaults. No respectable colored person—woman or man—was respected. If colored citizens had been appointed on the police force, conditions would have been different. It is so strange that white women are qualified to serve as policewomen, regardless of their age, but colored men who saved the day upon French soil are not qualified to be appointed on the police force. No; no black man with flat feet was disqualified to serve in the recent war. No black man was too short to be drafted into the army, but when it comes to appointing them on the police force, they are weighed in the balance and found too light, or measured with a tape measure and found too short, or they have flat feet. No doubt many a colored soldier who kept the Germans from invading France had flat feet, but the French generals found them to be the bravest and the most courageous soldiers. The black man is loyal to his country and its flag, and when his country fails to protect him, he means to protect himself. FOR "WORLD DEMOCRACY AT HOME." Without making any noise about it, without advertising his intentions. Hon. Joseph C. Manning came to Washington three weeks ago and has been day by day, going over the Southern disfranchisement situation with Republican leaders in the Congress. Besides his personal talks, he has left with them facts and statistics bearing out and backing up his argument for action in the behalf of giving the masses of the people of the South plain United States government. Mr. Manning was here, of course, during the recent crisis; and he did not dodge or evade or avoid. His presence here, at such a time, accentuated his desire for useful service. He rendered that service. After all, just as Mr. Manning has said all along, it is Southern propaganda put forward to create a smoke screen behind which the Southern oligarchy seeks to hide the lynching of constitutional government and the mobbing of human rights. Mr. Manning came to the right place, at the right time, to urge the cause of "world democracy" at home, and he is the strongest spokesman in this country for this cause. DON'T START IT. a certain well-known nation as the militia gets out a terrible race riots, "that the people worse than the years ago." If anybody all good faith, advises his city are a law-abiding the aggressors in anythatever takes place, ths they are concerned, ths affair or an Atlanta, Game of The Bee to all who own interest and the i It is stated that a certain well-known merchant in this city made the remark as soon as the militia gets out of the city, in speaking of the recent deplorable race riots, "that the white people would deal with the colored people worse than the latter were treated at East St. Louis a few years ago." If anybody is harboring such a thought, The Bee, in all good faith, advises him to banish it. The colored citizens in this city are a law-abiding class of people, and they don't intend to be the aggressors in anything, but they do want it understood that whatever takes place, the colored people are quite certain; so far as they are concerned, that the event will not be an East St. Louis affair or an Atlanta, Ga., event. "Don't start it" is the admonition of The Bee to all who entertain any such an opinion; don't for their own interest and the interest of the masses; don't start it. RACE CONGRESS. The executive committee of the National Race Congress, one of the most representative bodies in the United States, will receive all funds for the defense of all colored citizens who were arrested and charged with offenses during the recent riot. It is the intention of this organization, which has the reputation of doing something, to make reports to the people. Such men as Rev. A. C. Garner, Prof. John H. Hawkins, Rev. W. H. Jernagin, president of the organization, will be pleased to receive any contributions that may be sent. It is the duty of every loyal and patriotic citizen to defend his home, his body, his wife and children. Send in your contribution to the defense fund. Don't delay. NOT GUILTY. The young colored girl who was arrested some time ago, when Detective Sergeant Wilson was killed, is no more guilty of that killing than the natives upon the Fiji Islands. The child had no revolver, and those who entered her house knew it. The child will be represented by able counsel. WHY WAS IT? Will someone explain why colored citizens who were being pursued were disarmed, while the white mob that pursued them was permitted to go unmolested—assault, kill and shoot? Twenty years ago anti-Negro propaganda began to bear fruit in Washington, D. C., by effectively excluding colored persons from thetheatres, parks, cafes and other places of recreation and amusement under private management. Far from satisfied, anti-Negro propagandists next attacked the privileges enjoyed by Negroes under the Federal Government, and, while they have accepted our taxes, war service and all that we have to give, they have successfully discriminated against us in the civil service; in school appropriations and playgrounds, and have excluded us from the Capitol Restaurant. Through press and moving pictures they are conducting a world-wide propaganda calculated to make life miserable for colored people everywhere on this earth. They have succeeded in closing certain Northern institutions of learning to colored students. Colored taxpayers in the District should look into the matter of public grounds and fight the discrimination that is being practiced. For nearly three years a few of us have fought for permission to enjoy the Federal tennis courts. We have brought this matter before the office of public buildings and grounds, to members of Congress and to the Secretary of War himself, and now at last they have told us that one court at Fourteenth and B streets southwest, will be used by colored persons who secure permits. We have inspected this court and find that it is unsatisfactory because it is a turf court in poor condition. It is therefore urgent that all tennis players interested in our fight for justice write to Col. Ridgley at once and ask for permission to use clay courts. The more written applications we send in the better can we refute the assertion that our people are not interested in tennis and that therefore provision has not been made for us. Our citizens must push this fight for the use of the Federal bathing beach, tennis, golf and baseball facilities. If we continue to sleep, our children, limited on every side, must inevitably drift into lives of crime under this propaganda of oppression once insidious but now open and flagrant. Strangers to our city, including persons of color from the far-away Philippines, disport themselves upon the courts, which our taxes help support, while we, disbarred, look on from a distance. OLDEST INHABITANTS GIVE TO DEFENSE FUND At the regular monthly meeting of the Oldest Inhabitants' Association (colored) held at the Y. M. C. A. building last Monday night the sum of $135 was appropriated and raised for the defense fund in connection with the recent riot. This money is immediately available and will be used to assist in the defense of the colored men and women who are now held for participation in the troubles of last week.

Bundy, Syracuse Lodge, No. 5, K. of P., gladdened the hearts of three sorrowing widows last week when he called them to meet him for the purpose of receiving checks on account of death of their respective husbands, viz, Mrs. Lee Carter, $200; Mrs. Henry Jordan, $300; and Mrs. Horace Beverly, $300. This lodge has increased exceedingly numerically, and financially under the administration of Chancellor Commander Bundy, and promises to be, from the present outlook, the strongest in this jurisdiction. The members of this lodge are very proud of their Chancellor Commander and believe that when some of the uneven corners are worn smooth through a more comprehensive acquaintance with Pythianism, he will stand without a peer at least in this jurisdiction, if this is not so even today.

Sunday was competitive day among the leading men of Calloway M. E. Church at Halls Hill. Although the day was inclement, with hardly a break, the services were all well at- tended. There was a lively Sunday School service in the morning. Rev. Dr. D. W. Hays addressed the school and preached morning and night. Everyone present was greatly benefited and, indeed, greatly favored by having Dr. Hayes come to us. He previously served on this charge as presiding elder. Rev. C. E. Queen, who is now stationed at Bennings, D. C., came over for the 3 W. clock services, accompanied by a very large number of his congregation, and favored the audience with one of his ever-ready and soul-stirring sermons. Rev. Dr. Brady was also over from Falls Church, and several of his members accompanied him. The day was a financial success, with the total receipts $505.80. Rev. T. N. Austin reported $119, the largest contribution. We are glad to have back from overseas Messrs. Harry Newman, John Hicks, Bud, Pinkett, Martin Hyson and Frank Byrd. Mrs. Harriett Hyson died last Wednesday, leaving one son and a host of friends and relatives. We take occasion to state at this writing that although the riot that is sweeping through Washington has not as yet reached our community, we feel greatly affected by it and share with you the deep burdens of sorrow and regret, and earnestly pray that the strife will soon cease and that peace and order soon will be restored.

In many instances: there seems to. be a striking affinity between the herbal and aninial kingdom, and other instances’ Of the repelling character. For instance, a most remarkable ‘in- stance of. irritability by contact is that, exhibited by the “Venus’ Fly Trap.” Its flowers have nothing about .them. except that their petals roll up when they are about to de- cay; but the leaves are very curi- ously constrfcted. They have broad, leaf-like petals, at whose extremity there are two fleshy’ tubes, which form the real leaf and which are armed _with,strong, sharp spines, three on the blade of cach lobe, and a fringe of larger vines on the margin. When an insect touches the base of the central spines, the ‘leaf col- lapses, and the poor insect is cattght, either impaled by the central spines or entrapped by the others. The leaf then remains ¢losed, the fringe of long spines being firmly” interlaced and locked together till the body .of the insect has. wasted away. ‘This apparatus being. the nearest approach to a stomach which has a5 yet been observed in plants, an experiment was tried some years ago of feeding a Venus' Fly Trap with very small par- ticles: of, raw meat, when it was found that the leaves closed in the. same way as they would have done over an insect, and did .not open again until the meat, was constimed. The leaves.of this plant possess med- icinal properties which, when ror! erly prepared, havé been found of, exceeding benefit in many disedses of the digestive organs of mankind, .

WHEN IT PAID TO BE A “COLOREQ” MAN A Friendly Suggestion. to Those Who “Try to Pags for White.” ‘The recent regrettable race riot which has brought disgrace upon. the Nation's Capital is not without some useful lessons which . should . be learned and remembered: by the white’as well as the black members of our coniniunity, “Fron time -to time The Bee will point out what it considers to be the morals which might be drawn’ from the tragic events which occurred last week and: which made every law: abiding citizen’ hang his head in shame. . j _The purpose of this article. how- ever, is to suggest one little lesson which should be learned by those light-complexioned, —_straight-haired members of -our race who frequently try to pass for “Lily whites.’ who sel- dom associate and’ are ‘varely seen in public with’ the darker members of their own race, and who, when walk- ing upon the public, thoroughfares, oiten turn their heads the other way to. keep froth speaking to:one of their “high browi,” “chocolite brown” or “fast black” acquaintances. Last Monday night a week ago. when the race riot was at its height. one of these “Lily White" members of our race, when passing along Tenth and U streets all’ by his “Ione- some,” was mistaken. for a genuine Anglo-Saxon, as. the lights were burn- ing dimly, and was ‘about to be pounced ‘upon ‘by a gang of colored men, who mistook’ his racial identity. The moment hé saw’ the gang ap- proaching him, knowing full wel their purpose, he imm€diately began to establish his-racial identity beyond any question-of a reasonable doubt and ‘in a stentorian voice he .pro: clainied and pleaded as follows, te wit: “Gentlemen, for God's sake, don’ beat me.up, for I'm a colored man a whole-souled Negro, proud of my race and all it has accomplished You-are my people, and I am.one o you, so why do you want to ‘beat ur one of your.own race? “For God's Jsake, don't do it, men—I live only few blocks from here, “and if yor gentlemen will be kind énough te | walk down to Eleventh street, T° wil prove to-you that I'm.a colored mai Jand a whole-souled.Negrd.” So car. jnestly did he plead, naming various {colored pastors and school teachers {and Negro business men. that he “was personally acquainted with -Comit ting any reference to the “high. yel tow" variety) that the gang gener. ‘ously permitted him to withdraw, ane {he lost no time: getting home and wa: '}seen on the strects the following day | witli a copy. of Johnson's History ‘oi the Negro Race and a copy. of Pau! | Laurence Dunbar's book of pocm: Junder his arms “for safety's sake.” | Lily Whites. take notice: never try to play olf “white”: be what you are | Be truly proud ‘of your ace, and by this we mean the achievements and |splendid record made by: the iaw- ‘abiding clement.’, Don’t’ be a sham; be a Negro‘all the tinte and not-gnly sometimes, when you find it conven- ient and safe’ to-be-a “colored” inan. | MANNING IN: THE CITY: Great Southérn Republican in Con- ferences with Republican’ Party Leaders, " - | The ‘presence of Hon. Joseph C. Manning in Washington, his confer- chées with Republican Party leaders, will result in good. zl No man in the nation knows more thoroughly “this Southern question. He has been ‘telling the truth all along abont the minority rule in the ‘South, and his work, more than that of any other agency, has gone to show the true motive and character of Southern Democtatic propaganda. “Right, here in Washington Mr. Manning did his great work in 1896- 97 of showing up control in the South by’ the ‘black-belt ballot-box ‘stuffing: motive of disfranchisement”and the | results arising from this system, For years he has told the colored people of the country that they would suffer attack by the Southern oli- garchy, South and North, until. the oligarchy was overthrown and “plain United.

He will break up dis- iranchisement just as surely as he broke up the: black-belt ballot-box stulling system of minority rule. He is loading.

He is a man of powerful persistence, and there is no'abler writer or more able speaker-in“the nation, Ile has been heard by’ the foremdst civic and po- litical bodies in the North, and in \abama campaigns he has’ had throngs to-hear him, He led the Fusion, Party in -the Soitth; was a member of the Ala~ pama legislature, has’ been -an. editor ind has written many documeits on Southern affairs.

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