30 Colored Men Indicted CHICAGO LEADS. INNOCENT COLORED CITIZENS INDICTED. CHICAGO VS. MISSISSIPPI VOL. XL. NO. 11 30 C CHICAGO LEADS. COLORED CITIZ CHICAGO Chicago has outdone Mississippi in unjust treatment of colored people, according to a statement issued by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth avenue, New York. The statement refers especially to the indictment of thirty Negroes as against three white men in connection with the recent riots, the three white men having been indicted because, it is alleged, they killed a Mexican, having mistaken him for a Negro. "No more discouraging spectacle has occurred in Mississippi," says the statement, "than that provided by the indictment of thirty Negroes and the fact that the Chicago grand jury had to strike in protest because all those indicted in the first days were Negroes, whereas the violence in almost every case was initiated by the white men. "If the machinery of justice in Chicago cannot procure the apprehension and the punishment of the white men who burned and bombed Negro houses, who stoned and brutally assaulted innocent Negroes, who made necessary the presence of militia with bayonets and loaded rifles, then Chicago justice will become as notorious as Chicago police. "The National Association solemnly calls attention to the danger of allowing the machinery of justice to become discredited in the minds of the Negro in the North as it is already in the South. The Negro has proved a law-abiding citizen, ready to serve his country and to sacrifice himself for it. He cannot be expected indefinitely to tolerate abuse, persecution and, worst of all, denial of justice." PETER M. QUANDER. Returns Home After Service in the Naval Reserves—He Visits Many Battlefields—Delighted With Paris. Private Peter M. Quander, qf 46 Defrees street northwest, one of the best-known young men in the city, who enlisted in the United States Naval Reserve Force, has been released from active duty. His trip THE SAILOR across the Atlantic was enjoyable as well as beneficial. He was granted a five-day furlough in France, where he visited Paris. Versailles, the large buildings in which the peace conference was held, and the many battlefields, Chateau Thiery, the Rhine and the famous Hindenburg line. Mr. The Washington Bee Quander is now at home enjoying the hospitalities of friends and admirers. DR. SHEPARD'S GREAT WORK Need of Better Schools—His Return From Speaking Tour. New York.-The need of better schools, longer terms and better, qualified teachers for the rural district schools of the South is being emphasized by Dr. James E. Shepard, President of the National Training School at Durham, N. C. Dr. Shepard has just returned from his summer speaking tour through parts of the South and West. He contends that our race is not getting its share of either state or federal funds for education to which it is entitled and that much of the unrest among members of the race at the South is due almost solely to the lack of adequate educational facilities for their children. The above condition, coupled with the lynching habit, segregation and disfranchisement, is no doubt entirely responsible for the continued exodus of our people from the South. While Dr. Shepard is doing all he can for the National Training School, he is also working to create a sense of equal justice and fair play for the country schools among those persons who handle the funds and who in a large measure are responsible for the poorly equipped schools and schoolhouses in the rural districts. One of the chief aims of the National Training School is to prepare teachers, preachers and social workers for service among the masses of the race in the South. While we recognize and revere our national standards, flags and laws, which in themselves are supposed to protect all the citizens of this country alike, yet, every race or nationality here has its leaders to look after their interest in the body politic. We must have ours and they must be prepared to handle with intelligence and diplomacy problems that confront the race. Dr. Shepard is a leader who stands for, and contends for every right for our people guaranteed by the laws of state and nation to the citizens of any other race. In his public speeches now he is advocating that the right to vote be no longer denied us by the unlawful methods and practices of Southern, States. The colored race will rise in proportion to its ability to educate, contend for equal justice, uphold the law, be thrifty, co-operate along all lines of useful endeavor, fight the lyncher to a finish and refuse to die alone. WALTER REED BOYS. Mrs. Julia M. Layfon, as usual, took her boys from Walter Reed Hospital on Thursday afternoon for a spin of several hours in the Zoological Park. Several Sunday Schools were out there having their annual picnic. As soon as Rev. Jernagin, Miss Della Harris, Mrs. Ethel Murry and other active workers of Mt. Carmel saw a load of wounded soldiers they began to wave hands and called a halt. The boys were all escorted to seats and refreshments were served in abundance. Officers and teachers of Sunday Schools, "go thou and do likewise." SHRINERS' CONVENTION. (Special to the Bee.) Providence, R.

Committee Hears Evidence as to Cigarmaker's Remarks. A committee representing the Druggists' Association held an investigation Monday evening of alleged statements made by a cigarmaker of this city in regards to the recent race riot here. Immediately thereafter the secretary of the association was notified of the result of the investigation and the twenty-four drug stores of the membership notified to defer further ordering of cigars from the firm pending formal and final action of the entire organization at its regular monthly meeting on Thursday night of next week. "This is a very serious matter," said one of the investigators. "It resolves itself into a purely racial question, and without any doubt whatever shows racial hatred, prejudice and malice. It affects every member of our race, and before the druggists in this city would stand for such a thing they would wipe out cigars completely." There appears to be but very little doubt that the cigar firm will be boycotted. JOHN W. DAVIS RESIGNS. Becomes President of the West Virginia Collegiate Institute September 1st—His Splendid Record as Secretary of the Y. M. C. A. Two years ago the Twelfth Street branch of the Y. M. C. A. had 82 members, including 5 boys and 77 men. The association was more than $3,000 in debt on current expenses. It was almost unknown as a constructive influence in the community. This gives a review of the field to which John W. Davis, registrar and teacher of science at Morehouse College, Atlanta, Ga., was called. Today the association has a membership of more than 2,000 nd is out of debt. It is looked upon as one of the most efficient associations in the country. Mr. Davis enjoys the cooperation of all of the people in the city and has been most active in civic and church affairs. He succeeds Mr. Byrd Prillerman as president o the West Virginia Collegiate Institute, at Institute, W. Va. With the grasp that Mr. Davis has on education, besides his organizing and executive ability, success is sure to follow his efforts in West Virginia. COMMUNITY CENTER BAND.

Hart, Lawyer. Dear Sir: I desire very much to secure your services to look after the interests of myself and of my dear daughter, Carrie Miner Johnson, in and out of court, as our lawyer and counsel, but we have no money to pay you. So we hereby engage you to defend us to the end, and God and His children will re- ward you. I hereby notify and warn all persons not to receive no receipt for any moneys contributed by the public for this poor little girl—our heroine, our Joan of Arc, our Charlotte Corday—except by my permission, but all such moneys taken up, collected and contributed must be brought directly to me and I will in all cases give the proper receipt and credit for the same for the little heroine, Carrie M. Johnson, who faced death like a little rabbit in a corner, fired upon point blank by Officer Wilson and others, and wounded in her dear body, and now languishing in jail—an awful prison—for us, and she needs a lawyer now. Call and see and send all communications to Bro. Ben Johnson, who gave this ironclad, irrevocable power of attorney to me for himself and his minor daughter, seventeen years old, April 9, 1919, is like myself, a Master Mason, member of Golden Rule Lodge, No. 86, Gastonia, N.

Hart, Lawyer, 216 Arthur Place, telephone, Lincoln 6177, her sole and single lawfully appointed representative and counsel. There is but one way, one lawfully authorized attorney. Let all persons take warning! Of course, there must be an accounting in the Equity Court for all moneys received in a matter of this sort. Take and save all receipts where money is given and demand a definite statement what it is for; then the Criminal Court will have jurisdiction for false pretences or embezzlement if there be any failure of duty or misrepresentation.

PUBLIC MEN AND THINGS. The president of the Board of Education may be playing school politics, but I just want to tell him that if something is not done in the school question, there will be a revolution in our school system. You may have a closed door investigation, as you please, and if the report of this star chamber committee is vindication, and the congressional investigation shows startling things, what will this star chamber committee look like? If it is true that a member of this committee expressed a favorable opinion before appointment on the investigating committee, don't you think that another person should have been appointed? Dr. Van Schaick will not be satisfied until Dr. Thurston is removed from the schools. Twenty thousand parents are entitled to a change, and they are determined to have a change. I want to say for the benefit of those who have expressed an opinion concerning Attorney Horner, that he is a clean man and a progressive one. His opposition to the assistant superintendent is a conscientious one. Captain James F. Oyster has the respect and confidence of the people, and they do not believe that he would urge the Board of Education to retain the present assistant superintendent of schools. They would not expect any more from Dr. Daniels. Mr. Cox once said the reason Bruce Detroit 33 H Street, N. E. Phone: Main 1055.

Of course, we know that. What surprises me is the position assumed by Dr. C. W. Childs, who has been at one time hot and one time cold. He declared some time ago that Bruce ought to be removed from the schools, and later on he declared for him. Of course, I do not take Dr. Childs seriously. * * * I do not see why the Board of Education, or rather the committee that is investigating the assistant superintendent of schools, wants closed doors. Why not have a public investigation? The Parents' League does not propose to be caught napping. If, as it is stated, the assistant superintendent of schools is able to vindicate himself, why isn't the investigation open? Let the people judge as well as the star chamber committee. The people have rights as well as the Board of Education. MASONIC NEWS. The cornerstone of the Northeast Baptist Church, 424 Third street northeast, Rev. W. B.

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

Mitchell Palmer Sign Address to Nation Demanding Congress Investigate Lynching. Demand for an investigation by Congress of mob violence and lynching in the United States is made in an address to the nation, signed by 150 citizens throughout the country, including ex-President Taft, Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer, Dr. Henry Van Dyke, the governors of seven States, including Gov. A. H. Roberts, of Tennessee, every living ex-Attorney General of the United States, the heads of California, Illinois, Princeton, Western Reserve, Fisk and Vanderbilt Universities, Charles W. Eliot, Elihu Root, Charles Evans Hughes, J. R. Bingham of Mississippi and Senator Arthur Copper of Kansas. The address to the nation is an outcome of the National Conference on Lynching which was held in New York City May 5 and 6 last. "The people of the United States suffer justly under the grievous charge that they continue to tolerate murder," says the address. "In the year 1918 no less than sixty-seven persons were done to death without trial or any process of law, having been denied the right to a day in court accorded by the Federal and State Constitutions to all citizens. "It is well known that the innocent with the guilty suffer the cruel inflictions of mob violence. Mobs have even invaded court rooms and prisons to seize and murder prisoners whose punishment had already been fixed. Early in 1919 a hospital was invaded by a mob, and the attack resulted in death from shock of a patient that day operated upon.

(From the Caytorrs Weekly, Seattle Washington, August 2, 1919.) Once in my early manhood ‘I wat invited by my college chum to spen one of! the. summer’ months. at’ ‘hi: home in Natchez, Miss., which invi tation I readily accepted in view, 0, the fact that he shad impresséd me a: coming from one of the. leading fam: ilies of that rather antiquated city ‘long acknowledged by both the white and black folks théreabouts as the so: cial hub, In the course of humar events I showed up'at the depot’ in Natchez, where I was met by my chum, who took me to his more or less palatial home in: his family: ve- hicle, in which I was made very, very welcome. I had been in the home but a short while before J was intro- duced to his four beautiful sisters, of whom I had previously, heard but little. While. being introduced, if 1 did not show a bit of embarrassment - it was because I was able to ‘control my feclings, for, had not my chum himself done . the’ - introducing, 1 would have suspected that I was in the right church’ but the wrong pew, and that I had been inveigled into “the home of some prominent’ white family for an excuse to call a neck- tie party, and I would be. the center of attraction, There, however, later on was a party and’I fear I was the center of attraction, as will be subse- quently related, though no violence was attempted. The . four young Jadies proved to be just as entertain- ing and they had me feeling’ awfully “glad to be there, ‘and I soon ‘saw in my mind’s-eye that my’ chum’s, sis- ‘ters would get a great deal more of my time and attention than would my chum, at: least until we ‘returned to school in September. ps “You are just in time to attend one of our most sélect -social functions,” joyously exclaimed the youngest one of the quartet, “and knowing you would be here we have had an invita- tion sent to our address for you, and it gives, ‘me pleasure, to present the same to you,” to which the other sis- ters acquiesced. _# | That evening with a -sister of my chum 6n either arm I walked into the assembly room; and I thought myself the unqualified’ lion of the ‘occasion. While my chum and his sisters were presenting me to some of their more imfmediate associates, a voice clear and distinct sarcastically exclaimed, “Well, I wonder what the™ nigger wants ‘here? Surely I was at a party and.that, too, the very center of at- traction. Though in ‘complexion -I was between a milatte and a quad- roon, yet I was the darkest person’ in that room, and there was no doubt as for whom the insult was intended, but neither my chum, his sisters ‘nor my- self made any reply, or either by look or action showed the slightest emo- tion; nor was the matter ever subse- quently referred to. I fully realized that I was in a strictly blue-veined colored society, where darker persons were not wanted and’ such societies, be it remembered, were more or less common ‘in the South, owing to the concubinage of white men and col- ored women—master.and slave—and there was nothing to do but to: make the best-of the ugly situation, which I endeavored to‘do. 8 As time rolled on many of those white colored folks realized that they were entirely too white to be -black, and, by designation, too black to be white, at least in and about: their na- tive heaths,. and so they” began to scatter and seck other places to: cast their lots, where they could throw off their ‘color: hatidicaps." The north, éast and west soon contained many blue-veined colored persons from Natchez, Miss., some of whom I have. periodically met or redd of in the newspapers. From Natchez many of the young men went to Washing- ton’ City prior to the ‘civil service law taking effect and under the Repub- lican rule secured splendid positions, which they retained under civil serv- ice. Even in Washington City théy had little or no trouble in turning white, and I-am told many of those I knew well and with whom I: min-. gled socially in Mississipgi, on going to the National Capital married “mar- ble fronts” and, would now. know-me no more. * gu 4 ‘As I now remember, among those to whom { was. introduced’ on that Te ete eee, ees 6 NA ae Se ele Ta spirit of congeniality that made o! them good fellows. .But'parting das finally came, as it does to all: schools of learning, when chums, classmate: and acquaintances go tlhieir respective ways, the most of them. to never meet again. ® |. Periodically I saw the name o! Douglas McCary in print; and for a Lminute bygone days came to. .my mind. Thirty odd years thereafter a |military attache applied to me for’an apartment for himself and family” in the Caytonian.,Court in Seattle, and in reply’ to “Name, please” came “Wallace MeCary.” It was some days théreafter, while talking with him about the Twenty-fifth” Infantry, which was then stationed at-:Fort Lawton, that I realized a famifiarity in his features that made ,me stare him in, the face and say, “I had a college ‘friend of the same name as yours.” A smile spread -over his face and he replied, “And I am_ that friend.” He’ and :his family~ soon moved to the fort, where. Wallace soon thereafter took suddenly ill one day and died the same day. His fam- ily went to California." From Wallace I learned that Douglas was in Oma- ha, but of him I knew nothing. Like most of the’ young men of. the blue-vein colored society of Natchez, both: of the McCary boys -became political proteges of John R. Lynch, the only colored congressman from Mississippi, and for some years Doug’s namie often appeared ‘in pub- lic print in connection with. that -of Mr. Lynch, but as already said, after leaving Washington City and going to Omaha he dropped ‘out of sight and so.continued until the following excerpt''was flashed oyer the wires aa ts " “Omaha, Nebj July 18—Douglas McCarry, ‘the father of Mrs. Clara Dwyer, was the star witness in Dis- trict Judge Troup’s court in the hear- ing of the suit. of Mrs. Dwyer's hus- band, Francis P. Dwyer (white) to have their marrjage annulled on the ground. that: “Negro blood flows, in her veins.” .The trial is in its second week. Judge Troup said after -the arguments ‘from both, sides. had been heard that he would render his, de- cision the latter part. of this week. The: courtroom was. crowded during the few days’ the trial has been heard, and Mr. McCarry, a man of very swarthy. complexion, the front half of his head bald and the back half cov- ered with straight ‘gray ‘hair, was the center -of attraction.” He denied that there is any “colored Blood” in ‘his veins, and testified to his ancestry a3 lolfows: “Father, a’ politician.in Mississippi, sostmaster of the city of Natchez for jour years and sheriff’ of the courity or ten years and a slaveholder.] Mother, -a, white woman, living | now n ‘Washington, D.

There is a reason behind every movement which causes it to be in action. Every propaganda is put forward to serve some purpose. It has some particular object in view. Year in and year out, for all these many years, the Southern Democracy has indulged in attacks upon colored people. Why this anti-Negro propaganda? Has it had solely and alone the desire to abuse colored people? What has been the real object of this Southern Democratic agitation as against colored people? Joseph C. Manning has been trying to get the nation to see and to understand. He has been trying to get the colored people to know the truth. "It is all done, it is all carried on, for the purpose of bolstering up the methods and practices of the Southern political autocracy. It is political. The design and intent of it all is to create a sentiment that will exonerate and justify a system of minority rule in the South that has mobbed the suffrage rights of whites and blacks by the wholesale." These are Mr. Manning's words. Hear, again, what Manning says: "Just before an election in the Southern States, in district or State where the result is in doubt, the Southern Democratic papers begin to print stories of alleged assault by colored men on white women. They feature these stories and proceed to raise the race issue. This is done to create a furore and stir up excitement. It is made the basis of so-called argument against the Republican party. It is put forward to cause white sentiment in the South to become coerced into the rule of a system of political slavery. This sort of dirty politics has now come North to cause the North to not disturb this shameful misrule of all the people of the South." What Mr. Manning says is the observation and result of living in the South. He is a native Southern white Republican leader. He knows the condition. He says that, to stop this propaganda, it is necessary that the nation understand the facts about political conditions in the South—that this propaganda is put forward to uphold. He insists that the nation should learn that it is done to keep all the people of the South from having plain United States government. He says that Southern Democrats try to make a Negro problem out of it, that they may "get by" in the Democratic lynching of constitutional government. He says that the only way to meet this issue is to put the Southern Democracy out of power in the nation and cause the Republican party to come into power and protect ballot rights in the South. He says, "overthrow the oligarchy and its propaganda will die with it." The Bee believes that Manning is right. The Bee knows that the papers of the North are now printing editorials right in accord with the position taken by Manning for years. The Bee has, long ago, been saying Manning understood the issue and that he ought to be supported in his work. Is it not time to see the truth and to stand for the truth? Is it not time to encourage the man who has stood for right, against all odds, for these many years? Manning has not played politics. He has not played for personal gain. He has faced persecution and poverty rather than yield his contention for truth and right principles. Colored people know this and they appreciate his work. WHY NOT ALL? in the recent riot we were white men per- pelled to disarm them and kill colored men cowardly act. This public streets on his wrest has been made on Seventh street. Arms of the law is, Wh en concealed weapons whi with guns, and no arms colored men been carry- ving concealed weapons and fined five hundred question? The Bee has pointed on the police the examining surgeon concealed weapons the highest court. Wh after he has been shot to protect himself wides his home, and the and the pursued fined If colored citizens in the recent riot were arrested for carrying concealed weapons, why were white men permitted to go free? If colored men were compelled to disarm themselves, why were white men permitted to shoot and kill colored men? The shooting of young Neal was a most cowardly act. This young man was walking quietly along the public streets on his way home when he was shot to death. No arrest has been made as yet. George Amos Grier was shot to death on Seventh street. The question The Bee wants to ask the officers of the law is, Why were colored citizens arrested for carrying concealed weapons while they were being pursued by a white mob with guns, and no arrests made of the white rioters? Why have colored men been carried to the Police Court and charged with, carrying concealed weapons, convicted and sentenced to a year in jail and fined five hundred dollars, and all white offenders escape punishment? The Bee has maintained that colored men should be appointed on the police force, and this subterfuge resorted to by the examining surgeon should be eliminated. The alleged charges of concealed weapons against colored citizens should be carried to the highest court. When is a citizen allowed to carry a gun—is it after he has been shot by a mob? He is not allowed to protect himself while being pursued by a mob. If the mob invades his home, and the invaders are shot, the invaders are acquitted and the pursued fined. This is modern world democracy! (From Christian Science Monitor.)

That Washington, a city of diplomatis and world activities, the seat of the federal government, yet knowing the Negro as few great cities have the opportunity of knowing him, should, nevertheless, prove unable to prevent race differences from going to such extremities as have of late been a matter of record there, is an evidence of conditions that call for something other than superficial treatment with the police and the military. Armed patrols may keep order in the streets, but what is needed is that the heart of this situation shall be set right. Back of all the ill-feeling now existing between Negroes and whites in this country, it is probably fair to say, is the feeling of the Negroes that they have perfectly well-defined and incontrovertible rights under the Federal Constitution that are not being recognized for Negroes as they are for white persons: The franchise right is involved, but not by a long way is it the principal right. The principal right, undoubtedly, is the right secured under such assurances as these: "No state shall deprive any person of life, liberty, or property without due process of law. (Art. XIV, Sec. 1 of Amendments.)" "No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on indictment of a grand jury. (Art. V of Amendments.)" "In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district where the crime was committed, with witnesses for and against him, and with counsel to defend him. (Art. VI of Amendment$.)" The right assured by the sections of the Constitution here summarized is nothing less than the right of an individual to justice under a popular government framed, as the preamble to the Constitution expressly declares, to "establish justice," as well as to "insure domestic tranquility" and to "promote the general welfare." And justice for a Negro, under the American form of government, can mean nothing less than that. If he maintains himself as a decent, law-abiding citizen, he shall have such protection from the government as will assure him in his right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, and that if he does wrong he shall be punished and restrained in his wrongdoing by the processes of law, as provided by the Constitution. It is not merely necessary that the whites agree to this, as already whites have stated it; it is necessary that the whites stand back of these declarations and see them through. Tius a high order of citizenship is demanded. For it is going to be made clear that crime is a matter of the individual, not of the mass. If an individual Negro insults a white woman, it is that individual who must be punished, not any man of black skin whom a mob takes a notion to go after. And if white men, singly or in groups, attack or injure Negroes, or undertake to punish even a criminal Negro without due process of law, then even the federal power itself should be called into play, if need be, to discover those individual white offenders and make them legally amenable. Mass judgments of individual guilt, mob action to discover and punish culprits, are—let us say it plainly—too often, tolerated with respect to Negroes when they would stir the country if, similarly, and with similar persistence, applied to white men. It is time that such injustice should be corrected. All Negroes are not bad, all whites are not good. It is time for this great community, the United States, to recognize this fact, and to bring out and make use of all that is good and true in each race by setting itself fairly and fearlessly to discover and to correct whatever is evil in each. The thing to be remembered, as a basis for thought and action in this matter, is that the true solution of the difficulty lies in the discovery and correction of evil, no matter where or by whom expressed. FALLS CHURCH GLEANINGS. Mr. Clarence Chew has arrived at home ater having spent several months in the United States Navy. **** Mr. and Mrs. Otis Wade and family motored to Frederick, Md., to visit the relatives of the former last week, remaining four days. **** The Public School League, with Mrs. Carpenter as chairman, held a gipsy encampment in the Baptist Church grove last Thursday night. The children, dressed as gipsies, circled around the large iron pot which had corn boiling in it and recited a few pieces. Fortunes were told and ice cream and cake were for sale. Miss Hattie Holmes, of Washington, who has been staying at the home of Mrs. Georgie Taylor, returned to her home Monday. **** Mr. Robert H. Crutchfield, one of the latest inhabitants in our town and of whom Falls Church feels proud, was the donor of the beautiful cake presented to Rev. G. W. Powell on the occasion of his twentieth anniversary. **** Mr. James Smith, Sr., of Dellaplane, is visiting his relatives here and lending a hand in the progress- sive business of his son, Mr. James Smith, Jr. *** Mr. and Mrs. Henry Taylor and Mr. and Mrs. Everett Jones are the proud owners of a beautiful new Oakland car. Nothing like "keeping up with the Joneses." The Falls Church contributor expects several long rides for this piece of news. *** Mrs. Fannie Summerall is visiting her aunt and uncle, Rev. and Mrs. J. R. Davis, in Moorefield, W. Va. On the night of the reception of the twentieth anniversary of the pastorate of Rev. Powell the committee in charge was not prepared to present the purse to Rev. Poweli; so on Sunday, August 10th, he was presented with a purse containing $200, and an increase of $10 per month in his regular salary. *** Mr. William Richards has installed an electric light on the street in which he lives, which is of great benefit to all who live near. He has also put electric conveniences in and around his home. We hope to see more of this done. Little Aurie Campbell is visiting Mrs. Susie Campbell until the school bells call her to duty in Washington in September. *** Little James H. Merriwether Henderson celebrated his second birthday, Sunday, August. 10th. His grandmother and great-aunt, Mrs. J. H. Merriwether and Miss S. E. Robinson, also Mr. C. W. Adams and Miss E. Williams, were the guests from town. He received many useful presents, among which was a beautiful cake with two candles, which he lighted and blew out when finished burning.. Mrs. Ida Lee Thomas and children, and Mrs. Pearl Thomas, from Jersey City, are visiting relatives and friends here. *** Mr. and Mrs. James Ashwood, of Philadelphia, are the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Louise Lee. *** Miss Julia Taylor and little nieces, of Washington, were the guests of friends here last week. This is one of the most loyal white Republicans in Maryland, who has done more for the colored citizens in the State than anybody else. Mr. Carmody's last act was to pay $2,000 for foodstuffs for the colored people of Fairmount and Cedar Heights. No other white Republican in Maryland has ever been more liberal. This is the food the Government is selling to the people at a reduced rate. CEDAR HEIGHTS, MD. Mr. and Mrs. John H. Snowden, of Cedar Heights, Md., are very much pleased over the return of their eldest son from France a few weeks ago. Mr. Spencer A. Snowden was a member of Co. A, 811th Pioneer Infantry. After the signing of the armistice he was transferred to Co B, 1st Sep. Battalion. He brought home many useful and beautiful presents. REV. A. HINTON. Rev. A. Hinton, who has been visiting friends and relatives, leaves for High Point, N. C., to visit his mother, who is ill. He will spend at least ten or twelve days with her. We extend our heartfelt sympathy to Rev. Hinton. THE HIAWATHA AND FOR AKER THEATRES. Manager R. G. Byers of the Hiawatha and Foraker Theatres has knocked the entire back out of the Hiawatha, installed monster electric fans, five hundred new chairs of the most modern style and made a lobby and other conveniences for everybody. He has made some fancy and substantial improvements in both the Hiawatha and the Foraker. SOLDIERS INSULTED. Out at the Walter Reed Hospital Monday the colored soldiers, while entertaining their lady visitors on the lawn, were approached and insulted by a white sergeant, who ordered them to seek another, spot to converse with their friends, but, thanks to Ist Sergt. Edward Jack Tobias, a colored trooper, after a wordly argument, the order was ignored. The white sergeant brought two white lieutenants later to the scene, and they also gave the colored boys orders to jim-crow themselves to another section of the lawn. Sergt. Tobias still refused to vacate, and when he asked the two lieutenants for their names they retreated. ELEGANT This is the NEW DETROIT CAFE, better known as the RED CAPS' RETREAT.

Editor of the Bee: With a great deal of pleasure and interest I have read your article on "The Rights of the Black Man." I am glad you have had the courage to speak in plain words. I trust that you will pardon my taking the liberty to comment on your editorial, for, in common with the majority of the people of Washington, I have the highest regard for your fearless work as a champion of the masses. However, there may be some justification in calling your attention to the spirit of the younger generation when one considers these facts: 1. That in the recent riots of Longview, Washington and Chicago, especially the latter two, the white mobs were almost completely composed of young men, while in some cases mere boys took an active part. 2. That these mobs were met by young Negroes for the most part (according to newspaper reports, eye-witnesses and personal observation). Apropos to these-salient facts it is well worth while to be aware of the spirit of the New Negro, I believe, and so I venture to say that while the article as a whole represents this spirit, I mean particularly that of those who have worn the khaki, still there is something to be said on your last two lines. You say, "The black man is loyal to his country and his flag, and when his country fails to protect him, he means to protect himself." The protection of its citizens, the assurance of the welfare of its society, is of course the prime function of government, its very "raison d'etre", and a government which fails in the execution of this supreme obligation deserves neither respect nor support. However, protection is by no means the only point at issue. During the war the Negro put every grievance behind him and dedicated himself whole-heartedly to the common task. Thoughtless of revenge, careless of slander, oblivious to all save love of God and trust of man, he gave to America and the world an example of highest patriotism. Behold him and admire him for that—but mistake not! There is a new thought in the younger minds and, to be plain blunt, perhaps brutally frank, it approximates this: We have labored in sweat and tears—we have pleaded and hoped in vain—we have been loyal in every crisis and died in wars without a winking—but henceforth our Loyalty is for sale and the price thereof is Justice. We are done forever with blind devotion to a mere geographical idea. America's ideals are worth more than she herself, to preserve them to Humanity is God's work. Those principles for which America stands and which she has preached to the world—those principles we support—those we cling to dearer than life, whether she betrays them or not. Henceforth our Loyalty is for sale—and the price thereof is Justice—no compromise—but Justice absolute and complete, without reservation and without restriction. LYNCH. COLORED MAN FOR REMARKS ABOUT CHICAGO. John R. Shillady, Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, today telegraphed Governor Dorsey of Georgia calling his attention to the reported lynching of a Negro at Cochran, Ga., for making remarks about the race riots in Chicago, and asked what the state of Georgia was doing to apprehend and punish the lynchers. The telegram is as follows: August 7, 1919. The lynching is reported by the press of a Negro at Cochran, Georgia, the charge being that the Negro made remarks about Chicago race riots. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People respectfully asks what the State of Georgia is doing to apprehend and punish the lynchers and calls attention to the fact that no crime against womanhood was even alleged. Important Information About Insurance—Do It Now. By Lieut. J. Williams Clifford, Bureau of War Risk Insurance. The new ruling made by the Treasury Department to the effect that soldiers sailors and marines who have dropped their government insurance may reinstate it within eighteen months after discharge without paying back premiums is of tremendous importance to colored men who served in the army and navy during the World War. Under this ruling of the Secretary of the Treasury, those making appli- cation for-reinstatement will be required to pay only the premium on the amount of insurance to be reinstated for the month of grace in which they were protected, and for the current month. When the men are mustered out of the service, the insurance continues in force for one month and they are fully protected during that period even if their premium has remained unpaid. In reinstating, that month's premium will be required as well as the premium for the month in which the reinstatement is effected. Colored soldiers, some of them, have been under the impression that this new ruling would reinstate them automatically. But such is not the case. 'Application for reinstatement must be made and the two premiums, as above indicated, must be paid. The ruling also stipulates that when applying for reinstatement the man must be in as good health as at the date of discharge. Government Insurance has been made possible by a grateful nation which feels it owes a debt to the nearly five million men who made up the American army and navy. This new ruling demonstrates that the Government is now making every effort to give former service men the benefit of the most liberal provisions possible in order that even those soldiers who have not yet established themselves fully in civilian pursuits may keep their War Risk Insurance in force. A statement made by the director of the bureau, Col. R. G. Cholmeley-Jones, should be given serious consideration. He said: "Don't forget that men die or become disabled in peace times as well as in war, and that if a man waits, he may not be in as good health as he was at the time of his discharge and consequently may not be able to secure reinstatement. Don't put off reinstatement. Do it now." WELFARE WORK. Organizations throughout the country devoted to welfare. work among Negro soldiers and sailors have volunteered to act as clearing houses for information on war risk insurance among colored people, according to Lieut. J. Williams Clifford, special representative of the colored service men with the Bureau of War Risk Insurance. The number of volunteers among the colored people working in the interest of government, insurance now runs into the thousands. Such organizations as fraternal and benefit associations, the Colored Ministers' association, War Camp Community Centers, business leagues, colored Y M. C. A.'s and social organizations have started campaigns for the conservation of government insurance. The entire membership of each of these organizations is being enlisted as active workers. There were more than 400,000 colored men in the country's service during the war. It is the plan of the individual and organization workers to reach personally as many of these men as possible to learn whether they are keeping up their war risk insurance, and if not, to point out to them the advantages of the protection offered by Uncle Sam in recognition of the services veterans of the World War rendered their country. JOHN MERRICK DEAD. (Special to The Bee.) Durham, N. C., Aug. 14.—John Merrick, one of the best-known Negroes in this section of the United States, is dead at his home here. His death was not unexpected, as he had been ill for several months. The deceased was born in Clinton, Sampson County, September 7, 1859. About forty years ago he came to this city. Merrick was a self-made mah whose life was a good example to the members of his race. When he first came to this city he was a brick-layer. Being economical, he saved much of the money he made, and in a few years he opened up a barber shop and for many years his place of business was the favorite of its kind in the city. After many years of this work he founded the North Carolina Mutual and Provident Association, the largest organization of its kind in the world. Since 1899 this organization has steadily grown. In 1884, together with other colored people, he founded the Lincoln Hospital. All his life he gave large donations to the hospital, on which he served as president of the board of trustees for more than twenty years. About the same time the hospital was founded Merrick, together with Prof. W. G. Pearson, founded the Order of the Royal Knights of King David. This lodge, like all his organizations, soon became one of the largest in the world. Other institutions established by the deceased are the Colored Library and the Mechanics and Farmers' Bank, the latter be- WONDERS OF HERBOLOGY.

In addition to the above, I would remark that certain equinoctal flowers open and close at a fixed time on the same day; on the morrow and for several days they again open and shut at the same regular hours. The Star of Bethlehem opens several days in succession at 11 in the morning and closes at 3. The ficoid noctiflora blows several days in succession at 7 in the evening and closes about 6 or 7 in the morning. Besides the cases in which the flowers open and shut their corolos by the influence of light, instances are known in which merely the petals roll up by day and resume, their natural shape after sunset. A remarkable circumstance respecting the effect of atmospheric influence is that the same causes do not affect all plants, and yet no peculiarity of construction has been discovered in those so affected to distinguished them from those who are not.

All his life Merrick continued to give large donations to the library. The deceased is survived by a widow and five children. One daughter is the wife of Dr. Peter Williams, of Raleigh; another the wife of Dr. W. H. Bruce, of Winston-Salem. His eldest son, John; Jr., lives in Detroit.

Colored girls who were appointed by Lansburg Gros, during the war to fill the places of white help who went to the Palais Royal and all other big department stores, have been relieved, and white girls have been appointed in their places. Hereafter when big corporations get in a hole and their only hope to succeed is to appeal to the colored people for help, they should be made, to go elsewhere or else the colored people should charge them three times the value of their labor. This is what colored girls get when they make sacrifices. Next to elevator operators is scrubbing the floor. Lieutenant Vincent Thomas Makes a Record. The new manager of the Howard Theatre, Vincent Thomas has opened a big hole and the people are pouring into the Howard beyond seating capacity. Last Sunday, and in fact the entire week, the pictures have been of the highest order, and the people have appreciated them by attending the theatre. Manager Vincent Thomas has instilled new life and the crowds that go to Howard evidence the appreciation they have for the manager's efforts to please them.

WELCOME LABORERS Delegate Trotter Tells of New Opening for the Race, Where It Will Be Appreciated. Boston, Mass., Aug. 12.—Color segregation and economic competition are the causes of the bloody race riots in Chicago, according to William Monroe Trotter, the colored peace conference petitioner at Paris and secretary of the National Equal Rights League, who has just returned from the league's Eastern headquarters at 2152 Fifth avenue, New York City, which deliberated on the recent race riots. "If the United States does not appreciate the colored laborer enough to let him work for his bread by the sweat of his brow unmolested, I know positively that the Republic of France, which knows no color line, will welcome the black American worker for the restoration of the devastated regions, especially unskilled labor," declared William Monroe Trotter, who says that France is the land of equality of rights.
