NO. 14 The COLORED CITIZEN RELATION THE ELKS MEET Atlantic City All Ablaze-A. W. Names McMickens as His Successor-He Is Presented With a Handsome Gold Watch and Chain. The Great Parade and the Grand Ball Costly and Handsome Gowns-Columbia Lodge Makes a Display-Many Washingtonians in Evidence. By R. De Reef Miller, Special Staff Correspondent. Atlantic City, N. J., Sept. 1. Never in the history of the order has the antler herd and its auxiliary received such a hearty, welcome by any city as the welcoming spirit which greeted the I. B. P. O. Elks at Atlantic City, America's playground for young and old. Atlantic avenue was wrapped in flags and bunting, with large posts on either side, with the words inscribed, "Welcome, I. B. P. O. E." After the mayor had turned the key of the city over to the Elks in his great speech of welcome—but the key this time did not mean just a phrase, by no means—every officer of the law in Atlantic City had special instructions to be of service to the colored visitors. One could see traffic officers assisting the incoming motoring parties as to the traffic laws of New Jersey, and not making petty arrests. The town remained wide open with the lid off until 4 a. m. During the parade on Tuesday the car line on busy Atlantic avenue was tied up for three hours, all white and colored business was suspended, everyone had a favorite band they wanted to hear play in that great parade, white bathers deserted the bathing beach to get into the business section to see the parade. Many were attired in bathing suits. "Black Sam," Washington's favorite drum-major, really gave them the very latest "strut" that he could produce in leading Columbia Lodge of Elks' Marching Club and brass band. No. 85 really had some band this year. When No. 40, Morningstar's Band, hit Arctic avenue, near Kentucky, they had everyone tanging in the street to, that song hit, "I'll Say She Does." Prof. C. H. Blake; the leader, deserves great credit for the excellent showing made by his band this season. Everyone wanted to hear the Washington bands. The Pride of Camden was the most stylishly uniformed aggregation of musicians in the lineup. The Mighty Monochs of New York brought down the 15th Infantry Brass Band from New York City, which was among the prize bands of the convention. Atlantic City has a model police force, for any American city. A company of colored police turned out in the Elks' parade, and still the colored section down by the station and railroad yards were equipped with police of the race. Let us hope that Major Pullman will visit the resort this season. Negro traffic officers handle the traffic in the most congested business sections of the city. The grand ball at Young's Million Dollar Pier was worth three times the admission charged just to HEL The Washington Bee look at the beautiful gowns that glittered under the myriads of lights. White people lined the Boardwalk for blocks looking at the colored guests enter the magnificent pier. The music was great. During intermission the retiring Grand Exalted Ruler, A. W. Scott, was given a handsome watch and chain in memory of his services to the order. In his few words in reply he said that his services would be always willingly given to the order of Elks for the rest of his life; after which the grand march was led by "Big Boy," the Atlantic City drum-major and policeman, the former Exalted Ruler and family. Gen. J. Clay Smith was at the ball and looked ten years younger dressed in his military Knights of Pythias uniform of white and gold. Mr. and Mrs. John T. Ryan, of Washington were among the idle couples from the Capital City. Dr. Phil. B. Brooks was seated in one of the prominent boxes, with a large party of Washingtonians. Sergt. Johnson, the war hero of New York, was down, also many Harlemites, among them Mrs. Carry Anderson, Mrs. Ruth Simohs, her sister, and Mr. Benjamin Freeman, Mr. Anderson of the Amsterdam News, Miss Edith Peterson and sister, Mrs. Edner Thomas. Some of the handsomest gowns on the pier this season, according to the oldtimers of Atlantic City, were in evidence at the Elks' ball. Among the local dancing masters were Mr. Alonzo T. Collins, the promoter of "Handy's Jazz Band," and president of the "Stenographers"; Mr. John Hawkins, of the "College"; Prof. Lee, of the "Magnolias," and Capt. Hunt, of No. 85's Marching Club. The next Grand Session of the Elks will be held at Kansas City. WALL'S BATHING BEACH. Atlantic City, N. J., Sept. 4. The great mecca for colored society was at Wall's Bathing Beach popular for years as the most crowded spot for colored people on the Boardwalk. During the Elks' convention the crowd seemed to double. Among the popular persons noted were Mr. Thomas Smith, of Baltimore; Mr. Andrew J. Thomas, of Washington, and chair party; Mdme. Carrey Anderson, of New York; Mr. and Mrs. Howard Thomas, of Washington; Mr. and Mrs. Charles Mendez, of New York; Mrs. Chas. Lloyd and two daughters, of Baltimore; the Rev. Dr. Willbanks ("Black Billy Sunday"), of Washington; Mr. William Boyd and lady, Mr. McBlackston and Misses Symms, of New York and Washington, and hundreds of others, which, for the want of space, we cannot mention in this edition. WEST VIRGINIA HONORS MR. CLARENCE M. DEVEILE Mr. Clarence M. DeVeile, real estate agent and attorney, of 1014 W street northwest, has just returned from his vacation in the mountains. He had a delightful trip and a fine rest, which he needed and deserves. He spent ten days at the home of his friend, Prof. William P. Russ, of Charles Town, W. Va., who has a fine home, all paid for, two gardens, plenty of cattle, vegetables, fruits, chickens, etc., and Mr. DeVeile was made welcome by all, and he says he cannot WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1919 find words to express his gratitude for the hospitality of Mr. Russ and his family. Mr. DeVeile is no longer a stranger to West Virginia, and the whole of Jefferson county extended him a hearty welcome, and he was busy both day and night in an automobile fulfilling social engagements with his friend, Dr. George W. Rutherford, who accompanied him. One of the best social affairs was the reception and dinner given in his honor by Miss Ruth Tucker, one of the prettiest girls of West Virginia. The dinner was served in courses and everyone enjoyed the toothsome repast. Among the guests were Clarence M. DeVeile. Mrs. Sidney Tucker, Miss Charlotte Tucker, Miss Ruth Tucker, Miss Sarah Tucker, Prof. Samuel Tucker, Prof. Win, P. Russ. Mrs. Amelia Russ, Miss Frances Tucker, Mr. Frederick McDaniel, Mrs. Lula Walker, Miss Flora Walker, Miss Almira Tucker, Miss Sarah Rainwright and Mr. and Mrs. Hart. After dinner Miss Ruth and her refined and pretty cousin, Miss Sarah Tucker, carried Mr. DeVeile out sightseeing in the automobile. Mr. DeVeile says words cannot express his thanks and deep appreciation to the Tucker family for their kindness to him. Preparatory to his leaving West Virginia Mr. and Mrs. Russ gave a reception and dinner, which will long be remembered. Besides Mr. DeVeile, there were present Mrs. Amlia Russ, Dr. George W. Rutherford, Miss Naomi Rutherford, Miss Nellie Williams, Mrs. Mary Walker and Col. Robert Williams. Mr. DeVeile has made a reputation in both business and religious lines, and he is liked by both white and colored, and is a great credit to his race. He is also very sociable and makes friends wherever he goes. Though there were hundreds last Saturday in West Virginia who regretted his departure, there were many in Washington anxiously awaiting his arrival. The editor wishes to announce that Mr. DeVeile is a single man with plenty of money, and he is in the market. CLARENCE M. DEVEILE THE REAL BUSINESS MAN Mr. Clarence M.

Drew is actively engaged in securing signatures to a petition to be presented to President Wilson asking executive clemency, by pardon, for the colored people now in jail for defending themselves during the race riots here July 20-23. Dr. Drew expects to have 500,000 signers to this petition, both white and colored. Hours for signing this petition are from 9 a. m. to 10 p. m., at the headquarters of the White Cross-Free Employment Bureau in the National Cosmopolitan Baptist Church, on N street between Ninth and Tenth streets northwest. Secretaries will be on hand to take everybody's name. Arrangements will be made to have names taken at all the colored churches, halls, drug stores, religious and secret societies and public buildings. It was Dr. Drew who presented to President Taft a petition containing 50,000 signatures in behalf of Mattie Lomax, who was condemned to death in 1911. This action saved her from death by hanging. PAUL ROBESON COMING. Famous Rutgers College Athlete and Soloist ot Appear in Washington in Concert. Paul Robeson, the famous colored athlete of Rutgers College, whom every writer gave a place on the 1918 All-American football team, will appear with Rudolph J. C. Fisher, of Brown University, in a classical musical concert and oratorical contest at Odd Fellows' Hall on September 19th. Both Mr. Robeson and Mr. Ongressional Library. WILLIAM MONROE, TROTTER. Fisher were soloists of their respective college glee clubs and both were distinguished by being elected to the Phi Betta Kappa Society, which stands for excellent scholarship. Lieut. J. Williams, Clifford and Sergt. John R. Williams are in charge of the arrangements for the Robeson-Fisher concert, and declare that the affair will be the social and literary treat of the season. The Jardin Orchestra, under the management of Lewis Thomas, which has recently been augmented by the leading musicians of the famous Jim Europe's Orchestra, will furnish music for the occasion, and "Doc" Perry, who will be in charge, has promised to introduce his autumnal numbers on this occasion. PLEASURE SEEKERS DANCE HELD ON LABOR DAY Washington for the first Labor Day in many a year has had the pleasure of attending at Odd Fellows' Hall, on M street, one of the best dances during the summer, given under the auspices of the Pleasure Seekers, with "Doc" Perry's jazz. The hall was crowded both afternoon and night with Washington's best.

Miss Caroline Thornton, formerly of the Howard and Dudley theatres of Washington, is considered one of the leading piano players of Atlantic City this season. *** Among the visitors to the Elks' Convention from Washington were Messrs. William A. Brown and Ralph A. Webster, of the popular "Chanticleer" Social Club, and Mr. Luther D. Boyd, of the Navy Department. In the near future The Bee will publish the photographs of one of the most attractive motoring parties to Atlantic City from the Nation's Capital.

By the Sage of the Potomac. It is an old aphorism that nothing is certain but death and taxes. In discussing the candidacy of Grand Exalted Ruler A. W. Scott a few weeks ago, among other things John W. Lewis made a significant remark to Attorney Scott, and it turned out as he predicted. Columbia Lodge, No. 85, of the Elks, is in some degree responsible for the defeat of Armond. Bundy is an organizer, and when he left the city he remarked that we would hear from him. Men are uncertain. The happiest man in Columbia Lodge is Chaplain Chapman. He declared that he went to Atlantic City to defeat Armond. He was standing at the corner of Seventh street and Florida avenue last Saturday afternoon, telling how it all happened. He would refuse a hundred-dollar new bank note. From what Armond stated, I would have bet my last fall's old suit that he would have brought back the crown. Unhappy is the man who hangs on politicians' votes. McMicken is now Grand Exalted Ruler. He must get a hustle on him to reach Armond. Armond was some live individual. My friend, De Reef Miller, predicted the defeat of Armond three weeks ago. I laughed at him. In fact, I thought Armond had a cinch. I can't understand why "I told you so" should now be so much in evidence. I saw only three "I told you so's" two weeks before the meeting of the Atlantic City convention. "Doc" Williston, Thomas Clark and a few other lesser lights are discussing politics. I would advise them to discuss something else. "Doc" Williston and that push will not be considered in the equation. The old lias-beens' occupation is gone.

This is another year that the boys will let loose their coin. If there is anybody who is anxious to start something, I would advise them to be well prepared. This is a new age, and a new man is in the saddle. The new man is able to fight, and he means to defend himself at the risk of his life. My friend, Jesse Foster, is inclined toward the Willistonites. Well, I am not surprised at events. We all change somemtimes. I would suggest that it would be advisable for the bunch to take lessons in the school of politics. Lessons will do some good sometimes. The Sage is with the old school, and when the ayes and noes are called upon the stand, you will see that the old school has won. My friend, Byars, is going over the top with soul and body. He had a monopoly on the front pages of the press last week. He is certainly running some pictures at the Foraker and Hiawatha. "Homesteaders" is strictly a colored picture, and there are real actors and actresses in it. There is new life in both theatres.

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 pauade; 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.

Just so with the self-appointed committee of the Exes, who would have the public believe that the Secretary of War or State had designated them to meet the President-elect from Liberia. Don't you believe it! The administration had no more to do with designating them that the chief of the Fiji Islands. ENTERTAINMENT BY THE PLAYGROUND TEACHERS Last Wednesday night, from 6:30 to 10:30, at War Camp Community Club No. 3, a large audience was entertained by a splendid program prepared and rendered by the teachers of playground and a class of little girls from Georgetown, one of the last playgrounds opened. While these little folks had only a few weeks' practice, they went through with the dances and games without a mistake. The ladies gave an exhibition of the work they teach the children of the city. Every day stunts, games, songs, dances and music are taught. It is one of the most pleasing and complete programs ever put forth at the club. Special mention is due the skirt dance by Miss Lucille Moore. The entire program by the teachers—Misses Moran, L. Moore, LeBrandt, Cohran. Dorsey, Armstrong, M. Moore, Kibble, Johnson, Pierce and McKinney, was worthy of McKinley—was worthy of praise. Mrs. Susie Root Rhodes, superior of playgrounds; Miss Florence Chambers and other teachers from the playgrounds for white children were present. Mrs. Rhodes made a splendid talk on the work and commended the teachers for their excellent showing. The number on the program where the little class of girls rendered a part was most unique and was received by the audience with applause. Mrs. Rhodes asked that they repeat it, and it was even better. Messrs. Smalls and Keys, of the club, rendered musical numbers. Refreshments were furnished by the playground workers and served to all present. Dancing followed. OUR NEW HOME PENDLETON AVE. ST.

The Spanish Anise is commonly used for medicinal purposes. It is mostly a stimulant and carminiative, useful in cases of flatulency, nausea and in colic of infants. Aloes—The spiked Aloe is an inhabitant of the southern parts of Africa, growing in sandy soil; the leaves are thick and fleshy, with a few white spots. Spike a foot long; flowers are scarlet, and filled with purplish honey. This pretty tree furnishes the medicinal Aloes. It is a great laxative, even to the extent of purging, but must be combined with other herbs in order to avoid inflammatory conditions of the intestines and rectum. Asarabacca—This is a European plant, growing in moist, hilly woods, and flowers from May to August. The root when dried has a pepper-like spicy taste and yields an ash-color powder. It is emetic, cathartic and rhinine. Used principally as an errhine in certain affections of the throat, brain, toothache and paralysis of the mouth and tongue. Aya-pana—This plant grows abundantly in Paraguay, South America. It is a most wonderful plant, having most extraordinary virtues for coughs, colds and diseases of the chest. It is a specie of Lungworth, and has proven its great value when combined with other herbs as compounded by us in our Healing Syrup for Coughs and Colds. Adam and Eve—The red spots on its glossy, emerald arrowhead leaves are attributed to the dropping of our Saviour's blood on the plant whilst growing at the foot of the cross. Many romances are spun about this rare plant. Some believe that it is used as a love promoter, a peacemaker and a stimulator of happiness. Others claim that it is a wonderful stimulator for the sexual organs and thus promotes ambition. Balm—It is a native herb of France, but naturalized in England and the United States. Boiling water extracts its virtues. A warm infusion drank freely is very serviceable in producing sweating and to overcome fevers. It is also useful in painful menstruation and to assist the courses of females. DUBOIS' MISSTATEMENTS. Editor Ralph W. Tyler Takes Him To Task. Columbus, Ohio, July 5.—Ralph W. Tyler, who served as war correspondent in France, has sent Dr. DuBois the following letter: It is customary with reputable, well-meaning publications, when they carry a bald-faced misstatement, to give a correction of it the same prominence, in a succeeding issue, given to the misstatement. In the July number of The Crisis, in your answer to Mr. Emmett Scott's to many complete reply to your criticism of him, you drag me into the controversy by stating, referring to my service in France as war correspondent: 'He had no special facilities, and he sent nothing. But that was not all. Despite the fact that Mr. Tyler had the same opportunities as the editor of The Crisis to learn the truth, he has since his return published practically nothing and revealed no essential fact. Why?' "On your return from France, where you went after the war was over, you published in the May number of The Crisis the story about Monsieur Diagne, Deputy Commissionair General of France, in charge of colonial effectives, and his connection with a certain order issued suggesting discrimination against the American colored soldiers. You considered this, doubtless, an 'essential fact', or you, perhaps, would not have published it. I secured this information in November, sent it immediately, and without its being censored, back to colored newspapers in the United States, who published it before you ever landed in France. The letter of Col. Allan T. Greer, chief of staff for the 92d Division, which you considered sufficiently 'essential' to publish in the May number of The Crisis, I secured two days after it had been written, and it was on its way to the United States, sent by me, before you arrived in France. To be brief, all the 'essential' facts you exploited in the May number of The Crisis as news, I had secured and sent to the States before your arrival in France, five months before you published them in The Crisis. "You state in the July number of The Crisis, which, under your editorial management, apparently is degenerating into a medium through which to give vent to your personal spleen and discontent with everyone save yourself, that while in France I 'sent nothing'; that since my return I have 'published practically nothing.' "These statements of yours almost lead me to conclude that you do not, as reported, read our splendid colored weeklies, many of which have carried my criticism of the injustice heaped upon colored officers and soldiers while in France and many of which carried matter I sent back before, and after the signing of the armistice. "Since my return I have spoken in many cities throughout the country, and at each place I told a plain, unvarnished story of the injustices, the discriminations, the brutal treatment our boys had to endure in France at the hands of some American army officers. I never minced my words. While in France I not only sent much matter back, and that, too, without censorship, but I personally interceded with army officers to give our colored soldiers, among whom were three sons of mine, a fifty-fifty break—justice. "I went to France for service to my people, so refused to ask for salary. I never, in order to secure appointment, wrote for publication prior thereto any editorial or article advising my people to 'bury our differences,' as you did in order to secure a commission as captain in the Bureau of Military Intelligence at Washington. I never attempted disservice by striving to secure a salernment, while endeavoring to hold on to a salary of $4,000 per annum as editor of a race publication assumed to stand for justice for the race under all circumstances. You might have succeeded in securing two_salaries; had it not been for the activity and protests of that patriot, Archibald H. Grimke, winner of the Spingarn medal. "It is possible that from your lofty perch you can see nothing 'essential' in the matter I secured, sent to the States, and was published in our colored weeklies before you arrived in France. However, months later the same matter was considered sufficiently 'essential' for you to publish in your organ as supposed real, live news. "During my stay in France I sent confidential reports back, through diplomatic channels: I reported against General Ballou the second day after reaching the 92d Division; I reported against Col. Greer and against Maj. Deams, of the 325th Signal Battalion; I reported the rank discriminations practiced by the Y. M. C. A. against our boys and others, and I have the knowledge that my reports were taken up by Mr. Scott immediately on their receipt. "If what I revealed while still in France and since my return, both through the colored weeklies, which you do not condescend to read or exchange with, and on the platform in many cities, did not constitute what you term an 'essential fact,' then why in high heaven did you give so much space to the same facts, in The Crisis, many months after I had revealed them? Perhaps it is true that 'much learning makes one mad,' and that may account for your failing to discover any good in anyone save W. E. B. DuBois. "If you want to know how I served my race in France, how I contended for justice for them even, under shell fire, ask the colored officers and soldiers who came in contact with me and my work in France, but don't depend upon your warped views for the truth about any one save W. E. B. DuBois. These colored officers and soldiers will tell you that in France, in the presence of the corps commander, division commander, brigade commander; and many white colonels and majors I stood on the platform in the Hippodrome at Ponta-Mousson, Thanksgiving Day, and declared, referring to the thousands of colored soldiers crowded in the place: 'These men came over here to fight. For world democracy—they have fought hard and well to make the world safe for democracy, and on their return to America they will expect democracy for them there. If they do not find it they will ask you the reason why.' Did you, over there, say anything as bold?

C., SEPTEMBER 6, 1919. WILLIAM MONROE TROTTER. less or argument made by Editor William M. Foreign Relations Committee of the last week was a masterly presentation of Americans. Mr. Trotter submitted six articles, which The Bee, as well as all colors, from thousands of colored Americans endured promised protection for themselves and Trotter submitted the following amendments to abolish and forbid all distinctions, segregation based upon race or color in places of recreation and vacancies in Federal buildings. To abolish and forbid all distinctions, segregation upon race and color or upon presence of emoluments, the ratings, the promotions, employees, in the facilities provided by the recreation and health of Government.

One would suppose that through of this alleged protection which oppressed people. Let France supervises. The address or argument made by Editor William Monroe Trotter before the Foreign Relations Committee of the Senate of the United States last week was a masterly presentation of the claims of colored Americans. Mr. Trotter submitted six amendments to the Peace Treaty, which The Bee, as well as all colored Americans; indorse. When thousands of colored Americans enlisted for the war they were promised protection for themselves and future generations. Mr. Trotter submitted the following amendments: First. To abolish and forbid all distinctions, segregations and discriminations based upon race or color in places of public accommodations, recreation and vacancies in Federal buildings and in Federal territory. Second. To abolish and forbid all distinctions, segregations and discriminations based upon race and color or upon prejudice of race and color in the emoluments, the ratings, the promotions, the placements of employees, in the facilities provided by the Government for eating, rest, recreation and health of Government employees, or for others in Federal Government buildings or in Federal hospitals. Third. To abolish and forbid any distinction, separation or discrimination based on race or color in any coach of any public carrier operated by the Federal Government. Fourth. To open the doors of all schools of the Federal Government and all branches of the Army and Navy to citizens on the same basis, without distinction or discrimination based on race or color. Fifth. To exercise the mandatory powers of the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth Articles of the Federal Constitution, to the end that there shall be no involuntary restrictions, no denial of the equal protection of law, no denial of the exercise of sufferage because of race, color or previous condition. Sixth. To pass legislation extending the protection of the Federal Government to all citizens of the United States of America at home by enacting laws that mob murders shall be a crime against the Federal Government, subject to the jurisdiction of the Federal courts; for, in the words of President Wilson, democracy means, first of all, that we can govern ourselves. The entire National Equal Rights League is behind the six amendments submitted to the committee by Mr. Trotter. In support of Mr. Trotters contention, Attorney Joseph H. Stewart, Allen W. Whaley, James H. Neill and Joseph T. Thomas of Cleveland, Ohio, addressed the committee. Rev. W. H. Jernagin, of the National Race Congress, in speaking on Africa and the Africans, argued that the natives be governed by the United States. To this The Bee differs with Rev. Jernagin, and so does every other colored American. If Africa is to have a protectorate, that protectorate should be France, where equality of citizenship is recognized and whose government recognizes merit, regardless of color or servitude. The Bee subscribes to the six propositions submitted by the National Equal Rights League, and it feels confident that millions of Americans do likewise. One would suppose that Dr. Jernagin would have enough of this alleged protection which the United States gives to oppressed people. Let France supervise Africa and the Africans. STARVING THE STOMACH. a time the members of the body took the stomach. The hands refused to chew the mouth refused to receive it, and the stomach was about to starve. Then theyained that by starving the stomach they published declaration of the Parents' Lea withdraw their children from school. "Once upon a time the members of the body took it into their hands to starve the stomach. The hands refused to carry food to the mouth. The mouth refused to receive it, and the teeth refused to chew, so the stomach was about to starve. Then the rebellious members ascertained that by starving the stomach they were starving themselves." The last published declaration of the Parents' League is to ask the parents to withdraw their children from school. The Bee is not in favor of the children being withdrawn from the schools, as no one would be injured but the parents, as their children may grow up in ignorance, which would be detrimental to the parents. The Board of Education requested the representatives of this organization to file charges. Were the charges filed by the league? If not, why not? Hundreds of dollars have been collected from parents and representative citizens. Lawyers have been paid—one lawyer three hundred dollars, and he a white man—and what has been done? Charges were prepared, and the lawyer requested them to be signed and filed; but, by the advice of one of the lawyers, in whom the officers of the league had more confidence than the others, the charges were not filed nor signed. The people are now asked to withdraw their children from school. The Bee advises against such a movement, and it appeals to the parents who are interested in the welfare and advancement of their children not to adhere to such a request. The Bee pointed out the way to inaugurate reforms in the schools and advised the league in public utterances how to secure the remedy. The league preferred to listen to the advice of a novice in public affairs, as well as in law, and failed in its effort to reform, and its last resort is to request the parents to withdraw their children from the schools. Such a course would be injurious to the colored schools, the children and parents, and instead of inaugurating the necessary reforms, the result would be like the members of the body in rebellion against the stomach. AT THE THEATRES. Howard Theatre. Those who failed to see "Over the Top," staged by Billy King, with the scenic decorations and costumes by I. Weingarden, missed the greatest show that has ever been presented at the Howard Theatre. This company has been greeted with record-breaking audiences everywhere. The music, acting, costumes and scene effects are beyond description. The chorus, solos and quartettes were excellent. Billy King and Billy Higgins are two clever comedians. Misses Marguerite Scott, Gertrude Saunders and Theresa Brooks were very good. The choruses by the young ladies showed that they had been well trained. The Chinese girls, with the Emperor of Japan in chorus and a representation of the Peace Conference at Paris were some of the most interesting features of this great show. James E. Stevens, J. Barrie Barbour, Ernest R. Whitman and M. F. Slaytor are good actors and a great acquisition to the company. There have never been such beautiful costumes and scenery at the Howard Theatre for years. Among the song numbers that elicited applause were "Down at the Beach," and "By the Beautiful Sea," by Miss Theresa Brooks and girls. The opening of the fall and winter theatrical season at Howard this week was a great compliment to this popular playhouse. The manager, Mr. Vincent Thomas, and his assistant, Miss Ford, held the great crowd in control which greeted the management this week. Those who have not seen this great up-to-date show should do so. Billy King is a favorite in this city, with theatregoers. BILLY KING'S COMPANY. It was but two and a half hours of continuous laughter. The farce of the Peace Conference demonstrated a great moral. The show will continue next week, with Billy King and a new and up-to-date program. Every star in the play and those in minor parts, including the many choruses, will appear in full next week. The arrival of Captains Austin, Alexander and Willie Surrett at the Peace Conference struck a home blow to the hypocrisy of the American representatives. The three made a great hit, which elicited the applause of the audience. Hiawatha and Foraker. The Hiawatha and Foraker, with Mr. R. G. Byers, manager, had a record-breaking crowd all the week. Both theatres have had a great run from Monday to the hour of The Bee going to press. The outdoor show at the Foraker adds to the comfort of the patrons. Mr. Byers is pulling off great stunts with his Blue Birds, who are creating a sensation. Dudley's Theatres. S. H. Dudley at his theatres is doing a splendid business. The patrons are lined up from curb to door. Mr. Dudley is some producer, and he knows what the people want. Visitors to the city should read The Bee if they want to know where to go. SOCIAL NOTES.

This rare treat was given to the boys by the Harriet Tubman Red Cross, Dr. W. A. Warfield, president; Mrs. Layton chaperoned 139 soldiers at the game. All enjoyed it. Afterward Mrs. Layton brought them back to the club, where they were served with a light lunch, served by the W. W. C. S. Club.

EAGLE PENCIL COMPANY, NEW YORK ) ```markdown ``` Yesterday in a speech on the floor of the House a South Carolina Democrat read certain utterances of "radical" Negroes and proceeded to arraign them. It would seem to me not to be out of order to determine what condition has brought about the state of mind on the part of colored people that has caused these radical utterances. It would be well, would it not, to determine if there are grounds for complaint? We denounce robbery and mob murder of American citizens in Mexico, and we denounce the Mexican Government, and we want to "clean up" Mexico for outrages upon Americans and rights of Americans. Is there not serious ground for "extreme" utterances on the part of Americans who are robbed of their franchise and who are being lynched here in America by Southern Democrats? Colored people have left the South by the thousand to escape the Southern methods, but. Southern anti-Negro propaganda follows them. The way to meet this anti-Negro attack is by showing all the facts involved. Much of it is purely political, with the motive in view of discrediting the Negro as one way of discrediting the Republican party, precisely on the lines of the "Birth of a Nation." Then, too, this outcry about the Negro serves to act as a smoke screen behind which Southern Democrats hide the rule of the South by a political autocracy. It is the duty of all good Americans to cause the colored people, of the country to feel that they are not by themselves to fight out their battles as against a white America indifferent to their real wrongs. Cause these people to feel that America is for a square deal. This will go far to stop "radical" expressions, if we remove just reason for "extreme" language. Just recently a citizen of New York was in Austin, Tex., for a conference with colored people; also conferring with State officials. 'He was beaten up, forced to buy a ticket to St. Louis and board the train. This was not in Mexico, but in the United States. This man is, I am informed, a Democrat. The organization of which he is secretary has as its president, Moorfield Story, a distinguished Democrat. The citizen of New York was beaten up because of his interest in Negro people, which, to Texans, merited mob violence. The chief executive of that State has said as much. I trust this incident is sufficient to convince all Northern Democrats, who are of a humane character, that affiliation with the Southern Democracy is as much out of place today, in view of the existing political slavery in the South, as it was years ago in the days of the slave-owning Democracy. My own judgment is that all the its involved relating to political re- sion in the South of whites as as colored ought to be placed before all the people of the entire entry as one way of putting an to this Southern Democratic paranda. THE FIRST RACE RIOT. (From the Saturday Blade.) In going back as far as I could to post myself on the first race war, I found in the Bible, twelfth chapter and first verse of the Book of Numbers, the following: "And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses, because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married; for he had married an Ethiopian woman." They evidently raised a good deal of trouble, because it became necessary for the Lord to settle the affair. He called Moses and Aaron and Miriam to the tabernacle, and there He must have taken Moses' side, because He afflicted Miriam with the plague of leprosy, and she turned white. Evidently Miriam belonged to the yellow race, which was the predominant race in Egypt and the Asiatic countries into which the children of Israel were led. She was put outside the camp, but after seven days she was healed at the request of Moses and was allowed to return to the camp. The people of Asia and Africa are, of course, terribly mixed races. Most people pass up the question of how there came to be three colors—black, yellow and white. My experience in meeting thousands of Negroes in Africa and thousands of yellow people in India leads me to a conclusion that might not be backed up by some of our college professors. However, I am willing to give it to the readers of the Blade as my deduction of the color scheme applied to the human race. The first man, I believe, was a black man. Through filthy habits, he contracted leprosy. This burned the pigment out of his skin, and he became a yellow man. That would seem the origin of the yellow race. Then, centuries and centuries after they turned yellow, they again contracted leprosy and turned white, as Miriam did, and as lepers were put outside the camps, they were shoved to the West and spread North and West through Europe and Western Asia. I have seen thousands of lepers among the black races in Africa, and they do not turn completely white but are a sickly yellow. In India I have seen thousands of cases of leprosy among the yellow races, and they turn a sickly white. Of course, most lepers die, but some survive and retain the color they took on when they contracted the disease. I remember, one day in Rangoon, Burma, passing a large leper colony with my photographer. After we had gone to the hotel, I told him I thought it would be interesting to go back and get some photographs. There was only a paling fence around those who were confined in the colony, and I thought he would take a few exposures through the fence. However, when his prints were developed, I found he had gone inside the colony and among the lepers and had them pose for the camera. I told him I thought he had taken chances unnecessarily, but he said he didn't mind; he wasn't afraid. His name was Merle LaVoy, and he will be remembered by Blade readers as having taken the first moving pictures of an actual battle in France. NOT AN OFFICIAL VISIT. Arrival of President-Elect King of Liberia—He Comes as a Private Individual. It was announced in the daily papers Sunday, August 24, that Hon. C. D. B. King, President-elect of Liberia, was to make a visit to this country, and would be met on his arrival in Washington by a special committee consisting of Emmett J. Scott, James A. Cobb, Whitfield McKinlay, Archibald H. Grimke, W. H. Lewis, W. L. Houston and Ernst Lyon. President-elect King of Liberia and Mrs. King are making a visit to this country, having arrived in New York Tuesday morning on the Carmania from Liverpool. Mr. King is at present Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Liberia, and one of Liberia's delegates to the peace conference. He was met in New York by Mr. H. F. Worley, a white American, who is now collector general of customs of Liberia under the financial arrangements now existing between Liberia and the United States. It was learned at the State Department that Mr. King's visit is in no sense an official visit; that he comes to this country in search of rest and relaxation; that he desires to be permitted to spend his time quietly and according to his own promptings; that the visit of Mr. King is in no respect like the recent visit of President-elect Pessão of Brazil, who came here to pay a return official visit which, according to diplomatic usage, is a matter of extreme and punctilious formality. It was also learned at the State Department that the committee above named and headed by Mr. Eimett J. Scott has no connection with the department, either official, semi-official, or quasi-official; that while the department has been apprised of the existence of the committee, it knows nothing of its plans for the entertainment of Mr. King, or how far Mr. King will feel disposed to place himself in the hands of the committee. The department has secured apartments for Mr. King at the LaFayette, the hotel at which the Abyssinian commission stopped. The State Department was unable to say at this time how long President-elect King intended to remain in New York, or when he would come to Washington. VACATION DAYS A healthful vacation, to get away from home and business, a change of climate and environment, is a very necessary mental and physical tonic for the hard-working American, says the United States Public Health Service. But where to go and what to do is a problem. Hundreds and hundreds of people every year take bag and baggage and go away to rest up and recuperate. They return broken in health and spirit because the place they selected was insanitary, beset with flies and mosquitoes and the drinking water polluted. Or they go off into the wilds, ignorant of camp sanitation and first-aid treatment, and fare equally as bad. To guard against this the Public Health Service has published a little book, "The Safe Vacation," designed as a guide in the selection of a resort and as a companion wherever it might be necessary to render first aid to the injured. It points the way to a vacation that will be healthful and sets down a number of rules of sanitation to be borne in mind. The booklet also contains a brief but necessary chapter on first aid. It illustrates and explains rescue and rescusitation of the drowning, treatment of minor wounds and hurts, snake bite, sunburn and poison ivy. In addition it sets down some rules for bathing, which, if observed, will make drowning remote. No mention of resorts is made. The seashore, mountains, or the country are equally beneficial, provided the resort itself is sanitary. The book simply tells one how to avoid the things that make the vacation dangerous to the health. COLORED SWINDLER The Gibl-Tongued "Dr. H. N. Dumas" in Toils. Cleveland, Ohio, August 25.—A gibb-tongued colored man, well dressed and with cultured manners, blew into Cleveland last week and presented, his card bearing the following: "Dr. H. H. Dumas, Assistant Chief Chemist of the International Chemical Co., Chicago, Ill." He registered at The Geraldine. He affected high-browism, and, like most of that cult, hardly before the ink had dried on the hotel register where he had inscribed his name, he began bitterly criticizing the late and lamented Dr. Booker T. Washington, and his successor at Tuskegee, Principal Moton. Clevelanders had nothing to say of his criticism of Principal Moton, because of the latter's alleged servile advice to colored soldiers, but they did resent "Dumas" roasts of the late Dr. Washington. The aforesaid "Dr. Dumas" also represented himself as being a son of Dumas, alleged to have been for many years employed in the governmental departments at Washington, but his decidedly teakwood complexion and Zuluian lips and nose suggested no possible relation between him and the immaculate Dr. Machele Dumas, now practicing medicine in Washington. Soon after registering at the Hotel Geraldine, this alleged "assistant chief chemist" started out to look for suckers, acting upon the old saying that "one is born every minute." He found them even in Cleveland. He represented that he was securing men for the alleged International Chemical Company and promised profiteers' salaries. Three or four aspiring colored young men bit. The alleged "Dr. Dumas" suggested that they must give bond, the premium on which they would have to pay, but that he would pay their expenses to Chicago. He would suggest also to the unsophisticated that on their giving him the mere trifle of $25 or $30-part payment on bond, he would contribute the difference. Suspicion being aroused, the International Chemical Company was wired as to this man, and replied that no such bird of passage was in their employ. Then the police department was notified, and to make a long story short, the "plain clothes" men called on "Dr. Dumas" and suggested he change his stopping place; and so now, instead of being at The Geraldine, this smooth worker from Chicago is registered at the Cleveland work house for a period of thirty days, with a further request that he pay the city $25 fine before he can again go rummaging for suckers. And we are growing more like white folks every day. FROTHING AT THE MOUTH. I see that a South Carolina Democrat is frothing at the mouth about what some "radical" colored people are saying with regards to their being disfranchised and lynched by the Southern Democracy. I do not favor the use of extreme language, but I do fail to see why we should "raise hell" over the murder of Americans in Mexico and then jump on Americans for "raising hell" against the murder of themselves and their people by Southern Democrats right here in America. Colored people have been disfranchised, lynched, driven from the South because of Southern Democratic brutality, by the thousands. Texas Wilson Democrats, who lynch colored Americans and mob a white Northerner for taking their part, "raise hell" about mob murder in Mexico and want to go over and "clean up" Mexico. Perhaps there are some decent people in Mexico who think "the hell" ought to be whipped out of this mob gang in Texas. THE BARBER'S CAFE THE INSTANTANEOUS VIOLET RAY TREATMENT.

At noon three large truck loads sped out Geor- gia avenue and on tg the little town of Linden, Mrs, Julia Mason Layton and several boys who were stronger and more able.to take the jaunt went out on the Forest Glen cars as far as the Linden Pike and, were met there by a truck, and soon a happy: crowd of soldiers. covered. the beautiful Jawn and grove surrounding this historic little church. * Mrs. Pickett and her faithful committee ;had been _ ever mindful of the pleasures for the day. A match game of ball ‘wa’ played by a team from Howard Chapel, Md., and the Silver Star Club of Linden, ‘which proved interesting and exciting. On ‘a platform on the lawn was a piano- player, and the sweet strains of music echoed through the woods. At $ o'clock all were called for. din-| ner. An immense table -was spread in the grove. Chicken, country-cured ham and cabbage, country bacon and string ‘beans, corn pudding, corn on the cob, sweet and Irish potatoes, beets, tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, hot cornbread and cold bread, apple sauce, pies, doughnuts, ice cream, cake, ‘fruit, lemonade and iced tea, smokes and candy were furnished all in abundance. Besides the boys in khaki were seated at the table: Mrs. Layton, Rev. Johnson," pastor in chargé; Rev. Logan Johnson, and the Revs. Pickett, Ephraim and Barton. Just at the close of the dinner a Mr. George Liggons was so impressed by seeing so many wounded: soldiers ogether and all’ seeming happy, pre- sented ‘each boy with a new silver juarter.as a: remembrance, as a “good uck”?. pocketpiece. “ Mrs. Layton hanked the friends on behalf of her’ Joys, and at 8 o’clock the trucks took hem back to the ‘hospital. There is, perhaps, a larger number f colored boys at Waltet Reed now han has been there for a long while.

It is something entirely new and wonderful in construction. 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. DR. T. THEO.
