The Washington Bee Pres. Carranza Speaks PRESIDENT CARRANZA OF MEXICO HAS HUMANITY IN HIS HEART. U. S. DENOUNCED. Buenos Aires, Aug. 18.—President Carranza's reference to the race riots in the United States was echoed in Brazil today. Writing in the Correio Damanha, Antonio Torres declared: "The Negro in the United States lives under a regime worse than during the times of Lincoln, when his life was saved as valuable property. Today the Negro is like the Pole and the Jew of Russia during the reign of the Czar, without political guarantees on a social horizon. His only reward for loyalty to his country is lynching on a trivial pretext. "A Negro born in the United States speaks the same language as President Wilson, but the savage whites do not hear his cries of agony. People who act in that manner have no right to speak to the world in the name of civilization." VOL. XL. NO. 12 PRESIDENT CAREY MEXICO HAS H HIS HEART.

The mobbing of harmless, helpless Negroes in the Capital of this country is the nation's everlasting shame. The responsibility for starting the riots, which ruled Washington for days, rests upon disorderly, lawless whites. Peaceable, unoffending colored men and boys were beaten up and murdered by brutes who boast of our white civilization. A reign of hysteria and terror prevailed throughout the sections of the city where the colored population resides. They feared a "new East St. Louis." They armed themselves as best they could and barricaded their homes. There were colored soldiers among them who had served with distinction in France, some of whom had been wounded "fighting to make the world safe for democracy." While the United States Senate is debating the League of Nations, which would make us the custodians of the peace of the world and special instructors in democratic ideals to less enlightened peoples, we were murdering innocent, intelligent, God-fearing, law-abiding colored citizens at the back door of the White House. "And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye. Or how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me cast oul the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote that is in thy brother's eye. As you would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them; for this is the law and the prophets." NATIONAL RACE CONGRESS OF AMERICA IN ACTION The official call for the meeting of the National Race Congress of America, to be held in this city October 7. has been issued by the president, Rev. Dr. W. H. Jernigan, and the clans from every section of the country are getting ready to gather at the nation's capital on the date mentioned. The call states the case with clearness and force, and it is urged that large delegations be sent here from the various States to consider ways and means for the betterment of the civic and economic status of the Negroes of the entire country. Able speakers are to present the issues and the discussion will be broad and thorough, and the steps to be taken to crystallize thought into action will be prompt and vigorous. Hon. F. M. Hercules, secretary of the Society of the Peoples of Africa, with headquarters at London, Eng. has accepted an invitation to address the congress, and Congressman Matthew Agady, of Liberia, is also expected to speak. Invitations have been extended to the Hon. C. D. King president of Liberia; Hon. Blaise Diagne, president of the Pan-African Congress recently held in Paris, and a member of the House of Deputies of the Republic of France, who has also been in charge of the colonia troops who fought so valiantly for liberty and democracy throughout the world war on the western front in France. Rev. A. C. Garner, pastor of Plymouth Congregational Church, this city, has accepted the post of field agent for the congress, and will travel extensively in the next few weeks to place the purposes of the organization before the people. He will be assisted by Rev. D. L. Reed, the well-known lecturer and author; Rev. A. A. Graham, of Phoebus, Va.; Rev. J. N. C. Corgins, and others. Prof. John R. Hawkins, executive secretary of the Emergency Defense Fund, under the auspices of the National Race Congress, is actively pushing the work in defense of the innocent colored citizens of the District who were arrested during the recent riot, and whose only offense was that they did what they could to protect themselves from the violence of the mob, which could not be restrained by the lawful authorities Prof. Hawkins is receiving contributions at his office, 1541 Fourteenth street northwest, Washington, D. C. and any sums sent for this purpose will be welcomed. The forthcoming session of the race congress promises to be the best of the series, and it is hoped by Dr. Jernagin that much good will be accomplished for all the people by this exchange of counsel with the most thoughtful members of the race in October. THE INDUSTRIAL CAFE. Undergoing Reconstruction-An Upto-Date Cafe When Finished. The Industrial Cafe, 2006 Eleventh street northwest, Mr. James Washington, proprietor, is undergoing a reconstruction. The entire lower floor has been gutted, from the front door to the alley, and all modern appliances are to be installed, with new tables, chairs and everything that an up-to-date cafe requires. This cafe is in one of the most aristocratic sections of the city, adjoining the Hiawatha Theater, where many of the best people go. Mr. Washington took charge of this cafe when the neighborhood for business was in its infancy and when an up-to-date cafe was a novelty to the people in that section of the city and has made it what it is today. He means to make this cafe the leading meal dispenser in that section of the city and equal to any in the city. Speaking about the repairs that are being made, at a cost of several hundred dollars, Mr. Washington believes, and, in fact, he has often said, that the people in the great northwest section of the city shall have a cafe commensurate with their patronage and appreciation of his service. It is the intention of Mr. Washington to serve meals hot from the kitchen at all hours of the day. He means to have a place that is comfortable and commanding, and to serve food that will satisfy the appetites of his patrons. Call at the Industrial Cafe, Read The Bee for its opening. PLANNING ESCAPE Southern Democrats Trying to Get Out From Under Anti-Wilson Uprising. The movement of anti-Wilson Southern Bourbon Democrats is only a plan whereby the Southern Democracy hopes to get out from under the tide of anti-Wilson sentiment that is growing into a flood and threatens to make great inroads on the South. These Bourbon Democratic leaders in the South have started a fight to get control of the political machine, so that they can capitalize the anti-Wilson sentiment and hope to forestall Republican Congressmen here and there in several Southern States. Many Northern papers express concern that these anti-Wilson Democrats say nothing about an honest ballot. That is not hard to understand. They no more favor "world democracy" for the Southern people than does the Wilson Democrat. To encourage the anti-Wilson Democrat is only helping one Bourbon Democrat get in the saddle as he pushes another out, while the issue of anti-Wilson Democracy becomes the issue of the anti-Wilson Democrat so helped in the saddle. Such a policy is certainly bad politics, for it takes away from Southern Republicans much of the force of that issue which they look for as helpful to the Republican party in the South in 1920. The thing for Northern Republicans to do is to let the Southern Democratic factional fight alone and go ahead showing up how the Southern people are ruled by a political autocracy. It is not going to prove very good politics for the Republican leader who hopes to "pussyfoot" on the issue of constitutional democracy for the people of the South. The people of the North want this issue settled and settled right. Joseph C. Manning. His Invitation Declined—One Bolter From the Regulars Repudiated—Secretary Lampkins' Letter Explains Itself. Washington, D. C., July 15, 1919. Rev. Geo. O. Bullock, D. D., 408 T Street N.W. Dear Brother: Your letter of recent date addressed to the Baptist Ministers' Conference of Washington and vicinity, inviting the conference to attend the sessions of the Lott-Carey Missionary Convention, which will meet in the Third Baptist Church, Fifth and Q streets northwest, on September 3d to 5th, 1919, and inviting the conference to select someone to make the welcome address to the convention, has been received. The conference took the matter up in their regular business meeting and prayerfully considered the request. After some discussion the conference voted unanimously not to accept your very kind invitation to attend the convention or select one of our number to make the welcome address to the convention, for reason that the invitation was not extended to the conference by the officers and members of the Third Baptist Church, but by the pastor of said church, who is an ex-communicated member of the conference, owing to which the conference felt that it could not consistently accept with good grace an invitation from an excluded member of the conference to attend the convention or any other meeting. The conference has the highest esteem and regard for the great men of the Lott-Carey Convention, many of whom are the personal friends of its members, and the conference feels that they would be delighted to do honor to the convention and anything in their power to make them happy during their sojourn in our midst which they could consistently do. The conference exceedingly regrets that as a new man in the city you I HAYE BEFORE ME COLORED CITI- ZENS WHO WERE BEAULTED. I WANT THE ASSAILANTS, WHO ARE THEY?

CENTRAL ADVISORY COUNCIL TO TELL TRUE STORY OF WASHINGTON RIOT. To the end that the true story of the causes that led up to the recent "race riot" in Washington and the results that have grown out of it may be told to Congress when the facts are called for in connection with the approaching investigation, a group of influential colored citizens have organized a "Central Advisory Council," and its meetings each Monday evening at the Twelfth Street Y. M. C. A. are being largely attended. In support of the contention that the Negro cannot be blamed for the disgraceful incidents and city-wide dangers, in which he was an unwilling participant, acting, only in self-defense after it had been plainly demonstrated that the police department was unable or indisposed to afford proper protection to the colored people from the aggressions of the white mob, this council is gathering data upon the riot, from every possible angle. The organization expects to be able, within a short time, to present to Congress a comprehensive report showing the conditions which have existed in this city for many months, with its great influx of Southerners, bringing with them their preconceived notions as to the Negro's "place" in the arena of citizenship, and out of which grew the unwarrented assault upon the Negro race of Washington as a whole. Plans and recommendations will also be submitted, looking to the sympathetic co-operation of the law-abiding and broad-minded people of both races, with a view of preventing further racial clashes in the future. The organization was effected largely at the suggestion of Dr. Emmett J. Scott, of Howard University, whose joint address to the country with Judge Robert H. Terrell has been accepted as a national keynote. Prof. John R. Hawkins was elected president of the Central Advisory Council, with Dr. William H. Wilson as secretary. Prof. Carter G. Woodson was named as chairman of the committee on research; Dr. Emmett J. Scott, chairman of committee on publicity, and Dr. J. Hayden Johnson chairman of the committee on ways and means. On each of the committees men and women of the broadest public spirit and of pronounced racial loyalty have accepted service, and are contributing largely of their time and means to this very helpful cause.

Several are reported to have quit as soon as the order was issued. For a long time the Southern visitors to the Library have made complaints of colored people eating at the same tables with the whites. But the superintendent stated that he was unable to take any action until he received orders from persons higher up to cause the separation of races. The case has been turned over to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People for investigation. WM. W. MARTIN DEAD. Dies at Harpers Ferry, W. Va.— Funeral Largely Attended—His Brother in Attendance. Mr. W. W. Martin, for a number of years in the catering business, and who had opened a summer boarding house at Harpers Ferry, W. Va., died there Sunday evening at 9:30. Mr. Martin had been in poor health ever since an attack of the flu, which carried off his wife at the time. No man was better known in this city than Mr. Martin. His business at Harpers Ferry will be continued under the direction of his sister, Mrs. Catherine Drewitt, and Mr. Jesse H. Foster, the well-known manager of the Foster Dye Works. Mr. Martin was buried from the Berean Baptist Church Wednesday afternoon. Rev. Rivers conducted the services. Attorney Powell K.

Whereas, certain members of the bar, colored, have declared that they are not charging anything to’ defend those colored men, who were arrest- “ed for defending themselves ‘in the recent race riot, the money that has been -collected by different individ. uals and organizations must be" re- -fundéd to the sourcés from which it was collected. Prof. Wm. H. FH. Hart, however, says that he has been “retained by Mr, Johnson and_his daughter, Carrié, and several others and he therefore requests that, con- tributions be sent. to him. He. is, therefore, the only. lawyer who. is charging “a fee, and as several hun- dred dollars have been collected: for the defense of those retained by Prof. Hart, the executive committee of the National Race Congress will therefore account to Prof. Hart: for ‘money it has collected ‘for these de- iéndants.’ Fully three thousand dol- lars has been collected from différ-~ ent sources by this committee. for the defense of “those ‘arrested. . 1 would suggest) “as, Prof. Hart is charging a fee, that he be paid out vf the funds collected by the com- mittce of the.

Free Black Men Fight Free White Men—"State Street the Hindenberg Line." Chicago, Ill.—The stone thrown by Strauber, which struck Eugene Williams, 17 years old, Sunday, July 27th, and knocked him from a raft at the beach, was the "last straw that broke the camel's back." For months race hatred had been increasing. Migration has increased the Negro population to at least one hundred and twenty-five thousand. They have invaded white communities for homes, even the popular Michigan avenue and Grand Boulevard, buying as well as renting. Their residences have been bombed. Not one arrest has been made. White business enterprises have grown jealous of the numerous Negro business enterprises. Twenty-five thousand new jobs and positions have been filled with race men within the last three years and with general satisfaction. White workmen have grown restless and angry. Minor mobs in white districts have repeatedly attacked individual Negroes. The "black belt" looked on cautious and impatient. Press reports had told of the refusal of passports to loyal and patriotic leaders who desired to go to Europe to lead the cause of black men. Returning soldiers told of discrimination "over there" and on the high seas. Leaders began to ask, Is this democracy? These patriots! Democracy had become the apple of Sodom to turn to ashes upon their lips. Whites growing bolder because of the seeming docility of the Negro and the laxity of authorities made open threats to mob Negroes on the Fourth of July in Washington, Park. Race men taking precaution quietly secured pistols, Winchesters, Winfield rifles, and even machine guns from "God knows where." Unknown to the majority of the people and against the laws of the State the police had no longer respected the freedom of the lake and made segregated zones at certain beaches. Eugene Williams, blown by the winds into the white zone, was stoned by a mob of whites. He drowned. Colored men demanded a policeman to arrest Strauber, who threw the fatal stone. He refused. They slashed Strauber with knives and beat up the policeman. Excitement spread throughout the South Side. The air was charged and surcharged with race madness. All other nationalities prepared to invade the "black belt." All police reserves throughout the city—mounted, flying squads and others—were called to the South Side. Free black men magle ready to fight free white men. They had heard of the outrageous conduct of soldiers, sailors and policemen at the Nation's Capital. Their confidence in authority was lost. It was therefore their determination to fight police as well as the mobs. A State street Hindenburg line was formed three miles and a half long, extending from Eighteenth street to Fifty-fifth street, about 25,000 strong. The average area of the "black belt" is three square miles. The task of these men was to defend it from all angles. As if by precarrangement they then melted into squads, using telephone communication. Before them lay the great foreign community, composing the white mobs. Two million, six hundred thousand in the city population were against a colored population of one hundred and twenty-five thousand. There were ten thousand Negro soldiers scattered through the "black belt." The objective of the whites was to break through into this belt of law-abiding citizens. These people, resting on their arms on doorsteps and in windows, formed on all the streets a second line of defense behind the State street Hindenburg line, which was composed principally of discharged soldiers, boys from 12 to 18, and the rougher classes, but not one drunken man was to be seen. The white mobs surged. Black men charged, defying, killing and wounding policemen and civilians. Sunday, Monday and Tuesday nights they killed two whites to their one of Negroes. At 35th, 29th, 37th, 47th and 51st streets the whites tried to come through in mass formation, but they were driven back in great losses. Finding it impossible to break through this line, whites in the stockyard districts and in the loop began to chase individual Negroes wherever found. In these districts they outnumbered the Negroes one thousand to one. Some homes were burned. Then colored men began to keep baseball score. Every time the whites killed one they would kill a white, whether innocent or offensive. Michigan avenue and Grand Boulevard, popular thoroughfares, were not molested. All other streets in the "black belt" was No Man's Land. White auto squads from the loop, in one instance, carrying a machine-gun, made, flank movements through the belt, but the machine-gun man was killed and the gun taken, and the woman driver was severely beaten. One policeman, dressed in wom- an's clothes, was killed. Total number of killed was about forty, majority being whites. Over three hundred were wounded, the majority of whom were whites. So-called "white folk niggers" stood little chance. One of them was killed. Attorney B. Mosley published that the race should not retaliate and that this was a white man's country. Police were called to protect him from mob violence at the hands of his own people. He carries his life in his hands. Attorneys Latham and Mollison, who were on the committee that was interviewed by the Tribune reporter, were investigated. They disclaimed that they voiced the sentiments of Mosley. Business places owned by whites were demolished where it was known that they were catering to colored men. On the fourth day the militia was called. All credit should be given to Mayor Thompson for not calling them sooner. They would have been a green set of criminals turned loose upon colored people. After much bloodshed the colored people would have killed them all. But the white police had time to learn that the colored people were not afraid of a uniform and they so informed the soldiers when they were called. The result was that they have conducted themselves in a more or less decent manner. Telephone service, which was to some extent cut off in the South Side exchanges, has become normal. Strife is now centered in the labor market. Foreigners hold the section where industries are located. Fifty homes belonging to Poles have been burned and the crime has been laid to the colored people. The jeeling is so intense that 15,000 of our race are temporarily barred from work. Seers & Roebuck, Mr. Rosenald, president, has informed all colored people that their wages would go on just the same. The Bar Association, as represented by colored attorneys, and all the churches and civic organizations, including the N. A. A. C. P., have united in one body. The Negro press shared hard in the strife. The Chicago Whip was suppressed, and the white press refused to print the Chicago Defender. The State street Hindenburg line has made history for the Negro race. It will take some good statesmanship on the part of our leaders to set many things right. Some enemies request that a mixed commission be appointed to solve the disputes with one object in view, already known, which is to ask us to voluntarily stop moving any more into white settlements, as they have no other available places to enter, due to shortage of war building programs. The race generally opposes this compromise. Some think, however, that unless some concessions are made the whites will make some kind of abridgment in the coming constitutional convention. FALLS CHURCH GLEANINGS. Mr. and Mrs. Will Lee celebrated their eleventh wedding anniversary at their residence, on Thursday of last week. Most of the evening was spent on the porch, which was artistically decorated and lighted with large Japanese lanterns. Mrs. Lee received several useful presents. Among the out-of-town guests were Mr. and Mrs. James Astwood, of Philadelphia; Mrs. Ida Thomas and Mrs. Pearl Thomas, of Jersey City, and Mrs. Kmma Bradley, of Philadelphia. Mrs. Columbia, Scott, now of Washington, visited the church and friends here last Sunday. Mrs. Emma Bradley, of Philadelphia, who has been visiting her sister-in-law, Mrs. Wilbur Strother, returned to her home last Friday. Young Tunis Weayer, son of Mr. Walter Weaver, met with an accidental death while swimming near the Aqueduct Bridge last Tuesday. He had been in the water only a few minutes when he called for help, out before help came to him he had gone down. They soon rescued him, but were unable to resuscitate him. The body was carried to the morgue, and after a verdict of accidental death by drowning, was brought to the home of his father. Funeral services were held at the house on Friday afternoon, at 2 o'clock. Interment was in the Baptist graveyard. The Baptist Sunday School held its annual picnic in the grove of the church Thursday. August 14. A large representation of the church was present, and the games were greatly enjoyed by the young folks. Ice cream was in abundance, and everyone present seemed to enjoy the day. *** The Inspirational meetings, which have been going on at the Methodist Church, came to a close last Tuesday night.

WHY WE LOVE FRANCE. The colored man willingly surrendered all that was dear to him and his posterity to join his country's comrades and enter upon the soil of France to fight for a cause which did not benefit him, but helped to enslave him after his return to the starting point. But he is honored by the country whose cause he defended. For that reason the black man honors and respects France. The Southern white man who unwillingly left his home, but pushed the black man of his native home in front to shield him from the attacks of the enemy, could not stand the honor the French people bestowed upon the colored men. Thousands of those who left America to fight for this, so-called propaganda, "democracy," are willing and ready today to cast their lot among the French people, who believe in justice and equality of citizenship and protect it.

No respectable colored man was permitted to walk the streets in that section without being insulted. Certain marines from the barracks and sailors started this race riot, urged on by an editorial in a local paper, and yet nothing has been done to prosecute them.

The prosecutor heard the testimony of the officer, and so disgusted was he that he declined to ask the defendant a question, and so flimsy was the testimony of the prosecution that the court took both defendants' personal bonds. The Bee again asks the question: Why were colored men arrested, disarmed, tried and convicted, and white rioters allowed to pursue inoffensive colored citizens in the presence of officers and were seldom placed under arrest?

The local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. is to be reorganized, Mr. Archibald H.

Indications point to the re-election of Attorney Armond W. Scott as grand exalted ruler of the Elks by an overwhelming majority at Atlantic City next week.

Mr. Byers, of the Hiawatha and Foraker, invites his patrons and the public to visit his theatres and see this wonderful photoplay. Oscar Micheaux is one of the star actors in this photoplay, and the author. To understand it, The Bee would advise its readers to purchase a copy of this book. Agnes Stewart, a Scotch girl and daughter of an obscure renter on a piece of wild land on the Rosebud Indian Reservation, S. Dak., becomes lost in a terrific blizzard and is saved only through the providence of her horse finding a lonely and deserted sod house. Inside, hours later, she is awakened suddenly by a cry in the night. Going outside, she finds and rescues a man, who proves to be a Negro, and who, upon regaining consciousness, tells her a wierd story which in after months has a strange sequence, making this one of the most mysterious and absorbing photoplays ever screened. THE CHOIR PICNIC. An Enjoyable Time at Ft. Stevens, the Historic Landmark. The choir of the Asbury M. E. Church gave a very enjoyable picnic at the residence of the Misses Grant, near Brightwood, on Tuesday last. Quite a number of the members and their guests assembled at the residence of Mr., W. C. Chase, Jr., 943 R street northwest, in the morning, and proceeded from that point to the picnic grounds. The Grant home is beautifully situated and surrounded by large shade trees and a profusion of flowers. There are large fields and beautiful walks through the grounds and the adjacent country. Here the choir and its guests spent the day, enjoying cool and refreshing breezes and delightful strolls to historic Fort Stevens, where Gen. Early's Confederate Army was stopped in its raid upon Washington during the Civil War. An interesting feature of the picnic was a baseball game between two mixed teams. Each team contained both male and female players, and the ladies proved quite as adept at the national pastime, as the men. Miss Etha Collins, as pitcher of one of the teams, showed much skill and ability in her position, frequently fanning the male batters of the opposing team, and was a power at the bat. Other ladies who played well were Miss Ida Price, Mrs. Lillian Gibbs and Mrs. Belle Sprague. The work of these ladies was high class in every particular.

W. D. Norman; vice president, Dr. J. P. Green, treasurer, Dr. W. J. Howard; secretary, Dr. J. I. Loving; chairman executive board, Dr. W. J. Howard; secretary executive board, Dr. S. Geriah Lamkins. After instructing the committee to make the following correspondence public, which speaks for itself, the conference adjourned until the third Monday in September. The Metropolitan Baptist Church, R street between 12th and 13th northwest, will be the meeting place the next ensuing year of the conference. The correspondence follows: To the Baptist Brotherhood of Washington and Vicinity—Greetings: Dear Brethren: The Shiloh Baptist Church of Washington, D. C., has learned officially that her pastor and fifteen or twenty other pastors of Baptist Churches in Washington, D. C., have felt it their duty to withdraw from the Baptist Ministers' Conference of Washington, D. C., and to form the Baptist Ministers' Union of Washington and Vicinity, and that said action was taken after much prayer and earnest deliberation as a protest against the failure of the said Baptist Ministers' Conference to exclude from its membership a minister and pastor who had been proven guilty of adultery by a court in the District of Columbia and by an ecclesiastical council made up of the Baptist Churches of Washington and Vicinity. We, the Shiloh Baptist Church of Washington, in business meeting assembled, do hereby express ourselves as approving fully the action of our own pastor and, the pastors of the other churches referred to above in withdrawing from the Baptist Ministers' Conference and in forming the Baptist Pastors' Union of Washington and Vicinity, and we hereby pledge our hearty support to the said Baptist Pastors' Union and to our own beloved pastor in their efforts to free our denomination of unworthy and immoral ministers and pastors. Done by order of Shiloh Baptist Church in business meeting assembled on this, the eleventh day of July, A. D. 1919. J. Milton Waldron, presiding. William H. Scott, Church Clerk. Washington, D. C., Aug. 4, 1919. To the Shiloh Baptist Church—Greetings: A copy of your letter of July 11, 1919, addressed to the Baptist Brotherhood of Washington, was received by the Baptist Ministers' Conference and read in executive session assembled. Your letter states that you have learned officially of the actions of certain ministers of which you speak. We are sure you know, as well as every intelligent Baptist, that a Baptist Ministers' Conference has absolutely no official connection with or jurisdiction over any Baptist Church. We are at a loss, therefore, to understand how you could possibly have been officially informed. Since you were "officially" informed, there should have been more definiteness as to the information you received. We know how many pastors withdrew and the number was neither fifteen nor twenty. You say that these pastors and ministers who withdrew did so after much deliberation and earnest prayer. Just when and where all this "much deliberation and earnest prayer" took place is unknown to the Baptist Ministers' Conference. Surely all might have been invited to pray, if not to deliberate: While we do not know it officially, yet persistent rumor has it that there was at least one "star chamber" meeting held in your own church house at which time an ultimatum was authorized, giving the Baptist Ministers' Conference the alternative of being coerced or risk the loss of certain very estimable gentlemen. This ultimatum was re-inforced by the names of several ministers among them the name of one man was used without his knowledge or consent. The Baptist Ministers' Conference has no apologies to make to any man or set of men for its conduct or position. At no time in the course of its deliberations has the rights of a single member been abridged. Our constitution has been enforced impartially. We see no reason why, we should now or at any future time change the course of this procedure. We fail to see, therefore, the justice and the wisdom of the course taken by your pastor and the others associated with him. In reference to the unfortunate minister in question and the circum- stances attending his case, we offer no defense. There has never been at any time, a desire on the part of the Ministers' Conference to indorse unrighteousness. We have, however endeavored to be considerate and just in our dealings with our fellow men. Your official informer, with justice to us and to his own veracity, should have told you that long before the action taken by your church of which your letter speaks, the minister in question ceased to be a member with us. Thus rendering your action untimely and unnecessary. Your letter states that you put yourselves on record as fully endorsing the action of your pastor and other pastors who organized the Baptist Pastors' Union, thus dividing the Baptist Ministers into two warring camps. It is your privilege so to do and it is a commendable thing for a church to sustain a faithful pastor. But may we ask if it is the best thing for the cause of Christ for ministers to preach class hatred when even the very forces of hell are standing together. Is it not very inopportune for ministers of the same denomination, language and race to be divided over a very minor affair at a time when men everywhere, regardless of race, color or creed, see the necessity of coming closer together? We desire, therefore, to put ourselves on record as condemning emphatically that kind of leadership in our denomination, because it is unwise, untimely and insincere. We are sure you do not know that under the guise of ridding our denomination of immoral ministers deliberate attempts have been made to disturb good ministers in their work and to misrepresent them to their members. This cowardly campaign cannot be too strongly condemned by all fair-minded people. We beg to inform you that the men who compose the Baptist Pastors' Union do not represent a majority on anything that is commendable in our denomination. At the close of your letter we make a painful observation. We are shocked and surprised that a congregation with the reputed intelligence and moral rectitude as is ascribed to Shiloh Baptist Church should have compelled its pastor to preside at a meeting that gave him a personal indorsement, and to have had him suffer the embarrassment of signing his name to a general letter that recorded the same. Then as we scan the signatures of the presiding officer and Church Clerk, there is such a similarity in the penmanship that, one would naturally conclude that they both learned to write at the same place. In view of the fact that your letter was addressed to the Baptist Brotherhood of Washington and Vicinity and a copy mailed to the Baptist Ministers' Conference, we reserve the right to make public this correspondence at such times and places as shall be deemed by us necessary and proper.

Southern Democrats Making a Record—Colored Americans the Target—Doh Quixote and Sancho Panza in the Saddle. It seems that there are two gentlemen in the Congress of the United States who don't know that the war, which was fought for liberty and democracy, is ended, for they go right on introducing bills, which, if passed, will be akin to the re-establishment of slavery in the District of Columbia and throughout the United States as well. These champion bill introducers hail from the States of Arkansas and Mississippi, respectively. Their names are: The Hon. (?) Mr. Caraway, of Arkansas, and Mr. Harrison, of Mississippi. And since both of these gentlemen are of Southern blood, no bills they could offer need surprise the colored citizens of this country, for the question naturally arises. Can any good come out of (Nazareth) the South? But let us notice the recent bill introduced by the Hon. (?) Mr. Caraway, of Arkansas. The bill: "Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That hereafter, in times of peace, no member of the Negro race shall be enlisted in any branch of the military or naval service of the United States of America. "Sec. 2. That all members of the Negro race now serving in any branch of the military or naval service of the United States shall be discharged from such service within sixty days after the passage of this act. "Sec. 3. That no member of the Negro race shall be admitted to either the Military Academy or the Naval Academy of the United States, etc." That was a nice bill to be introduced before the American Congress against the country's most trusted friends, wasn't it? But notice the fact that this descendant of the fathers who fought like hell to destroy the Union takes good pains to leave a loophole for the Negroes to be enlisted in both the military and the naval service in times of war! The miserable coward! He would save himself and his, but would destroy the patriotic Negro. Coming so close on the time that the colored boys have returned fresh from the battlefields overseas, covered with decorations of victory, I verily believe that Mr. Caraway inadvertently got the cart before the horse. He must have intended to be just, for once, and offer a bill to read something like this: "Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States in Congress assembled, That hereafter, in times of peace, no member of the white race, south of the Mason and Dixon line, whose father or, grandfather ever took up arms and rebelled against the Government of the United States shall be enlisted in any branch of the military or naval service of the United States of America. Selah!" When will the people of the South grow tired of sending these little, cheap country jakes to represent them in the Congress of the United States? Let the Republican Party do its duty towards the patriotic colored citizens of the South, and they (the colored voters) will see to it that these cheap guys will stay at home and help to hoe cotton and corn instead of coming to Washington every year to offer the same old foolish bills. In spite of everything done to impede the progress of the colored people, they intend, by honest means, to get some of the world's goods along with the white folks. When an automobile passes you in the street, with a company of white ladies and gentlemen in it, just look in the opposite direction, and behold a fine auto with a company of merry colored ladies and gentlemen. That's what hurts Representative Caraway and his hateful constituents. But the colored ladies and gentlemen pass by in their machines with a friendly smile on their faces and say to the hateful Southern cracker, "Shoo, fly; don't bother me!" Well, so much for the Hon. (?) Mr. Caraway, of Arkansas. We leave him in the hands of the devil. Now comes this modern Elijah, the Hon. (?) Pat Harrison, of Mississippi, upon whom the mantle of the late Senator Vardaman fell. Vardaman must have told Pat (God save the Irishman!) that if he saw him when he (Vardaman) was kicked out of office by the people of Mississippi, who, for once in their lives, had gotten tired of being disgraced before the world, his old dirty garment should fall upon him. I sometimes wonder if there is enough water in the Potomac River and enough bars of soap in the Nation's Capital to wash some of these little miserable fellows clean enough to occupy a seat in the Congress of the United States, for such as they are but clogs in the wheels of progress. The people of Mississippi swapped Senators, thinking they'd do better. But it was simply a case of swapping the devil for the witch, for the mantle of James fell upon Pat. If the people of the South are desirous of making a change for better representation in the United States Congress, let them cease trampling, the Federal Constitution under their feet and give the colored voters the ballot, which is rightfully due them, and the country at large will hear less noise from these Senate and House pestering rodents from the South. NATIONAL RACE CONGRESS SUFFRAGE SESSION.

Summer School is having one of the most successful sessions in its history. Last week a series of two lectures was given by Dr. E. K. Jones, executive secretary of the Urban League of New York. Mr. Jones described in detail the work of the league and how they had improved the housing conditions in the large cities of the country. Mr. Jones gave figures showing the economic conditions of the Negroes of the South as compared with the Negroes of the North. He said he thought the recent migration of Negroes from the South to the North had meant more for his uplift than any single agency that had happened to the Negro since emancipation. He said it had placed the Negro in industrial fields previously held only by whites and the Negroes had made good and they are regarded in an entirely different light from what they were before the migration. He said the migration had also reacted on the South and compelled the Southern white man to pay the Negro a better wage and give him better school facilities. Prof. C. H. Moore state agent for the Rosenwald School Fund, addressed the teachers during the work and said that more than sixty new school houses had been built out of this fund during the present year. He told the teachers how they might get a new school house and offered his aid in helping any teachers who wanted to have a Rosenwald school TEMENTS WITH $5,000 WILL CONVINCE BEST PREPARATIONS FOR SATISFACTORY SIN SPIRIT, FRENCH IN QUALITY FRENCH IN CHARM.

He told how Mr. Rosenwald had paid the expenses of all the Rosenwald teachers to some summer school. A series of lectures on education was given by Prof. Long of the National Security League of New York. Mr. Long spoke of the work of the Security League, and he said that it was organized for the purpose of preventing German propaganda before the war and now is engaged in the work of reconstruction. He said they were at present paying the expenses of primary teachers in seventeen summer schools in the South and expected to increase this number another year. Mr. Long is a graduate of Howard University, Washington, D. C., and is employed as an expert in education by the National Security League. He also did graduate work at Clark' University at Worcester, Mass., where he took his master degree. BUILDING AND LOAN ASSOCIATIONS IN OHIO Columbus, Ohio, August 24.
