His Visit to the City—He Meets Old Friends and Receives Many Congratulations—His Defense of Colored Soldiers—Discharged from Service and Will Return to the Practice of Law in Chicago, Ill. Capt. Lewis E. Johnson, 370th Infantry (old 8th Illinois National Guard), formerly secretary of the Twelfth Street Y. M. C. A., Washington, D. C., was discharged from the army this week, after two years and two months' service. About one year he spent overseas, his regiment having a record of 112 days on the firing line in the St. Mihiel, Argonne and Soisson sectors. Capt. Johnson was cited for special bravery at the battle of Mount De Sange. Gen. Pershing appointed him judge advocate, an honor of which he is very proud. THE MILITARY OFFICER Capt. Johnson graduated from the Howard University Law School, Class of 1912. After returning from France with his regiment last February, he was assigned to duty at Camp Grant, Ill. He defended the fourteen colored soldiers in their retrial there, charged with criminal assault, getting a verdict of not guilty for six of the fourteen accused. On the original trial all of these fourteen had been found guilty and sentenced either to death or life imprisonment. One of the men now acquitted had been sentenced originally to death. Capt. Johnson states that he is confident the other eight men would be set at liberty, if the case could be presented before the Supreme Court. Capt. Johnson will return to the practice of law at 3102 South State street, Chicago, Ill. While on a short visit here recently he was the guest of Dr. J. E. Moorland and Dr. S. L. Cox. Inve The Washington Bee There was not a more popular and better liked man connected with the Y. M. C. A. than this distinguished officer. He was cited for bravery, as has been stated, and his legal ability in defending soldiers who had been charged with crime was commended by his superior officers. Capt. Johnson is a forcible speaker and a sound reasoner. His stay in this city was short, greatly to the regret of his numerous friends, and admirers. The people of Illinois are preparing to bestow great honors upon him. NO WHITEWASH! NO GOAT! All That Mr. Bruce's Supporters and His Opponents Ask Is Justice Without Delay. (From Washington Times, Sept. 16) The Board of Education has before it nearly a hundred pages of hearings concerning Roscoe C. Bruce, head of the colored schools of the city, who is charged by the Parents' League with having lost his efficiency. The schools open in a week. The Parents' League threatens a strike of the children unless action is taken. Of course, this wouldn't help matters. A school strike proves nothing except the intensity of public interest, and that has been demonstrated fully by petitions and in other ways by the parents of colored children. Parents, don't deprive your children of their school merely to show your interest in this situation. It would not help your cause and would hurt the children. Cannot the Board of Education finally dispose of this matter before schools are opened? It is only fair to these parents and to Mr. Bruce that these clouds be cleared away at once. Persons close to the Board of Education and familiar with the hearings in the Bruce case intimate that Mr. Bruce has been made the goat for a superior. They state that his policies have not been given consideration and that the charges against him should have been made against those who blocked him and then "passed the buck" to him. The Board of Education has the facts and is fully empowered to act. It should, once and for all, stop all this talk about Mr. Bruce. If he has been made the goat and forced to assume responsibility where he had no authority; this should be made plain. Let there be no goat. If he is at fault for the lack of support he receives from a large number of responsible people, he has lost his efficiency as a leader and should be permitted to resign. Let there be no whitewash. Mr. Bruce is entitled to a full and thorough vindication if the charges against him are not sustained. He must have the confidence of teachers, parents and students if he is to conduct his work with efficiency. WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1919 If someone has been transferring his own mistakes to the shoulders of Mr. Bruce, it is time that such condition be remedied. Washington wants harmony and efficiency in the schools, and the former is necessary to achievement of the latter. The Parents' League has no petty grudge against Mr. Bruce. The league wants him to have justice and wants justice done to Washington. Supporters of Mr. Bruce ask no more. The people of Washington, political outcasts, can do nothing but petition. That is the only right way we have. The board can ignore public demands, if it chooses. It owes nothing to the public. The people have no voice in election of its members or their continuance in office. That is not the fault of the board. But if the board is made up of public-spirited citizens, it will consider itself an agency of the people. It is theoretically a directorate for the parents of Washington's school children. As such, it is morally responsible to the taxpayers of the District. The public wants this affair settled now, and if the board feels its responsibilities it will settle this question now. Let it be done before the thousands of children return to their desks. Last year we went through eight or nine months of wrangling dissension, which left its mark on the school system. Let's do better this year. There are only two courses open. Determination of the course rests entirely on facts. The board is familiar with the facts. It ought to be easy to act. 1. If Mr. Bruce ought to be separated from the payroll, do it and end the trouble. Don't make him the goat for someone else. And if he is no longer efficient, don't whitewash him. Whitewash rubs off and exposes a dirty wall which has to be rewhitewashed. 2. If Mr. Bruce is competent, efficient and should be absolved, then say so and end the wrangling. Justice to Washington and to Mr. Bruce demand that one of these courses be taken at once. SMITH'S ADDITION TO HALLS HILL, VA. It is a real pleasure to have the opportunity to call attention of the public to consideration of the above real estate venture. Smith's Addition has no equal around the Nation's Capital as a homesite. Two of the most beautiful homes of any colored settlement, in Alexandria, county, Va., are now being added, one to be purchased by Mr. Asa Robinson and the other by Mr. William Jackson. The system of arrangements and the plans of construction will impress most good thinking persons favorably. Attractive for its elevation, we are trying to specialize on its class of people. This addition is not only attractive for its beauty alone, but for Halls Hill in general. Mr. Smith has associated himself with the worthwhile men of this community, and they have brought about conditions that will not only enhance the value of his property, but of everybody else's as well. The courts of this county have promised us police officers in this fall's term of court and to cooperate with us in improving our village streets. A concrete pike is now being laid from Washington, D. C., to Falls Church, Va., which runs di- rectly through this village. These special features, as understood by Mr. Smith, are the conditions worth while offering as an inducement to homemakers. JIM-CROW CARS Hearing Before the Interstate Commerce Committee. Through the courtesy of Mr. Henry Lassiter, chairman of, the Colored American Council, The Bee is able to give out a more detailed account of the recent hearing before the House Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce on the Madden bill for the abolition of the jim-crow cars in interstate commerce. The hearing was conducted under the direction of Mr. George H. Murray, who appeared as general counsel for the Colored American Council, an organization in corporated in Washington, D. C., for the study of national legislation affecting the colored race. Mr. Madden, the sponsor of the bill and one of its ardent advocates, was the first speaker, and after reading the bill and requesting its consideration as a part of the Esch plan for the return of the railroads to private ownership, spoke eloquently of the part that the colored people had played in the history of America and of the great unfairness of drafting them to fight for the defense the country and then denying them the common rights and privileges of Americans. The distinguished Illinois Representative was frequently interrupted by the Democratic members of the committee, who seemed to take a delight in injecting irrelevant issues into the record. But Mr. Madden, with his characteristic shrewdness, parried all questions with an adroitness which made the Democrats appear somewhat ludicrous. Mr. Madden was followed by Mr. Murray, whose argument in behalf of the measure was largely a technical discussion of its merits from a legal and economic standpoint. For forty-five minutes the committee listened with the closest attention to his vigorous attack upon the jimcrow car sysem, and at the close joined in the spontaneous applause which followed. It had been generally expected that Mr. Murray would be the center of a sharp attack from the Democratic side, but if such had been planned, it did not materialize. As one member of the committee afterwards said, it would have been a very unwise man who would have tackled him on a subject to which he had given such exhaustive study. Lieut. Thomas M. Gregory then began the argument in support of the bill from the fact side. In 1916, under the auspices of the N. A. A. C. P., he had made a detailed investigation of colored traffic conditions in every Southern State except Texas. His revelation of the conditions under which colored persons must ride in the jim-crow car was little short of horrifying and made a very deep impression upon both Republican and Democratic members. At the afternoon session Prof. A. W. Mitchell, who spent fourteen years in the South, ending in 1919, took up the argument, in behalf of the measure and read into the record many specific instances of the treatment accorded colored soldiers and sailors, as well as citizens. He was followed by Mr. Edwin B. Henderson, of Virginia, who demonstrated clearly that the provisions in many of the State laws for equal ac commodations were not carried out. Mr. Henderson spoke from personal observation and experience. His reference to the mental unrest among colored people provoked a question as to the influence of the Socialist party propaganda on colored people. The last speaker was Capt. Louis B. Mehlinger, of the 92d Division, A. E. F., who drew a graphic picture of his experiences in jim-crow cars wearing the uniform of his country. At the close of the hearing Mr. Murray's brief word of appreciation for the courteous and earnest manner in which the committee had considered the bill elicited a word of thanks from Chairman Esch, on behalf of the committee, for the very clear and logical manner in which Mr. Madden and those who appeared with him had presented their views. Subsequently members from both sides characterized the hearing as the most carefully and thoroughly prepared and the most intelligently presented case that had ever been brought before the committee during their membership. W. C. C. S. NOTES. The community house here is getting to be a regular rendezvous for sailors, soldiers, ex-service nien and their friends. New faces are constantly appearing to receive the hospitality of this club. Everything possible is being done to make those who go there feel that they are welcome. The social contact is great and gives the soldier and sailor boys a grand opportunity to get acquainted. Social games, card parties, dances, pool tournaments, boxing, wrestling and movie shows are a few of the attractions that are bringing the boys out in large numbers. A new feature of the work being done is the experiment of the homes registration service, which lists rooms, flats and houses that are for rent. his department, under the direction of Dr. Minnie Crews, assisted by Mrs. Waddleton, has already rendered more service than could have been expected in so short a time. There are no charges, and anyone is welcome to make use of this service. Mrs. Julia Mason Layton, better known to the military men as the "Mother of the Boys," took a little flier to Columbus, Ohio, last week for a much-needed rest. Mrs. Layton has really given the boys service, and they all appreciate it. If you don't think so, ask any one of them. She returned to Washington Saturday night, and Sunday she was right on the job again with seven-passenger automobiles, in which she took about sixty boys from Walter Reed Hospital to nearly every nook and corner of Washington and vicinity, winding up at the Stoddard Home, where the boys were much surprised with a real feed. Miss Elizabeth Martin, in charge of girls' work, has brought about some advantageous changes by shaping out a program in which she gets our girls closer together. A matinee dance and several sightseeing tours have been a few of the things she has introduced. "Ask Mr. Lew" when you want to know anything about the club activities for the boys—that's the question you want to use. For Mr. Lew is forever figuring and scheming to get up something new to entertain champion wrestler of the Canadian the boys. Last week he ran a very successful pool tournament, held a boxing match and discovered the army. Along with this he runs the movie shows and answers between four and five thousand questions a day. Then we have Major Ramsey, who tries to be every place in Washington at one time. The major thinks that there isn't anything else in the world but work. During the course of a day you can catch him anywhere from the Union Station, meeting delegates, to Georgetown, trying to catch someone who will be willing to make an address or assist the soldier boys in some way. And he is really longwinded, too; he often hangs around until midnight, after putting in an all-day session listening to t! bustle and noise of the club. The club is always open to visitors and everybody is welcome to come along and bring a friend. In fact, you are requested to come and meet some of the boys who have been trying to make this world a safe place to live in. Billy King.

SENATOR McCORMICK HAS FOUND THE WAY OUT Everybody who can possibly get into John Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church, Fourteenth and Corcoran streets, Monday evening, September 22, 1919, should be there by 8 o'clock to hear Senator Medill McCormick give his remedy for the racial disturbance and conflicts in America. Representatives from every section of the country will be there in celebration of the fifty-seventh anniversary of the issuance of the emancipation proclamation by Abraham Lincoln, under the auspices of the Colored American Forward Movement of the Frelinghuysen University. Congressman Marion E. Rhodes, of Missouri, will speak on the subject "Duty of the United States to Protect Its Citizens in Every Part of the Country." Prof. Sylvester L. McLaurin and Lieut. Thomas H. R. Clark will discuss the subject "The Colored American's Part in the Problems Growing Out of the World War." A new leader out of the West will make his first appearance. Come to see and hear him. There will also be a grand musical program, under the direction of Mr. Frank Johnson. Come early in order to make sure of a good seat. s13-2t The substitute what has been grinding out "sage stuff" for several months came to me the other day and asked if I would not resume the work just for one week to give him a rest. I handed him the usual alibi, "Too busy," and then Big Bill Chase phoned me and said: "Say, Sage, if you will just fill in for a week to give the sub a vacation, although this is a Saharic section, I'll give you somethin' what's now selling for $10 per quart." That appealed to me, so here I am, back on the job—and just for a week—sort of "resumin' resumption," as Dick Thompson would say when he makes up his mind to shoot a new news bonmot athwart the newsilistic amphitheatre. After a feller has been doin' nothin' but countin' money and rackin' his brains to find a way to get a front seat among them there profiteers, you know, naturally, his fingers get the writer's paralysis, and his brain pan sort of rusts, and he ain't no longer the "whang" he useter was, as Eddie Burrill would say. speakin' of Eddie Burrill, don't you know, I like that little French-coated cream-complexioned individual, even if he is old Relay Maryland's brother-in-law. There's samethin' kinder pullin' about him. He's a bear at sayin' just what he thinks, and best of all, he's a connoisseur. Not quite so robust a connoisseur as Dancy, or so frequent as Judge Terrell, but he knows a good thing when he sees it in the bottle, and that's what neither Judge nor Dancy know. But odd don't get to connoisseur much these days. Just take it from me, that Eddie Burrill, with French airs and manhood style, who knows how to attend to his own knitting and let the other feller do the encoring, ought to have a lot of replicas around this old Saharic section to lend tone to the burg. Speakin' about Eddie Burrill, who is a brother-in-law, by marriage. Little Lord Fauntleroy, what has been in the spotlight of criticism ever since the late and lamented Booker T. wished him on the schools here, just brings up to my mind the fight the Parents' League has been puttin' up agin' him. I figured, when the Parents' League got its charter to start a turmoil in this old turmoily village that it would get much farther than the first quarter on the mile track. You see, it had too many THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS. Why do the heathen and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves and the rulers take council together. * * * He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh; the Lord shall have them in derision.—The Bible. They have formed a League of Nations, to the end that wars shall cease, To the end that all the nations shall live in perpetual peace. To the end that all of the people form a common brotherhood, So that men shall cease fighting, change their natures and be good. They have formed a League of Nations, though they all have not agreed; Lawless mobs and heartless demons take the laws in their own hands. God shall form a League of Nations in His own appointed day. When He speaks peace to the nations, men will neither fight nor slay. Of the evil deeds of Satan men shall have no lot nor part. For real peace and everlasting love shall flow from heart to heart. James Conway Jackson. specifiers and not enough strong specificators. It reminded me of what old Jule Caesar once said the day before the Luprical Day, when June Brutus and Cay Cassius razed him. Old. Caesey said: "I never get scared when a whole flock of leaderless canines comes yelpin' down the road." You see, this here Parents' League has been doin' too darned much yelpin' and it has had too many leaders with a busted inner tube to bring the bacon home. Jim Cobb, who's little Lord Fauntleroy's legal adviser, in an' out of season, off an' on, and more on than off, told me away back yander in last April that while his client was a trifle nervous and had been neryous ever since that train brought him here from Tuskegee, still he knew that the Parents' League wouldn't amount to more than what we used to call fraudulent firecrackers—a "sizzler." However, I reckon they will get Little Lord, etc., some day; but at the rate some of hiss well-wishers or otherwise are being carried out to Harmony cemetery, it strikes me that none of them will be present at the dedication when the Board' of Education checks his name off the payroll. Now I ain't arguin' that he ought not to go; I'm just handin' you a bunch of common-sense talk, and by the jimwhillikers, there ain't much common sense left around here. You get a few chunks of it down in The Bee office, but half the time these Mad Anthony Waynes around here won't listen to William Calvin. I see my old schoolmate and college truant, Doc Frank Davis, has blowed himself to a house over on Fifteenth street. I knew that sucker, if you didn't keep your eye glued on him close, would edge hisself over towards Sixteenth street. He told me months ago, when that little Chevrolet engine of his was lookin' its darndest, that some of the people around here had been prophesyin' that he would some day camp on the lot of the poor house, but that if his brother, Will, stuck with him until he got his breath, he would beat 'em out. Well, that brother, Will, did stick to him—stuck to him like John Lewis stuck to the Industrial Savings Bank. No use in hollerin'; any time you stick to a brother with the unusual name of Willie and hang around one of them there "next-to-a-Ford" contraptions—a Chevrolet chug wagon, you are bound to get somewhere. I see my old hickory-head friend Armond Scott, failed to break that third-term hoodoo. If Armond had invited me, as he used to do, to that little den back of his hall, and given me carte blanche to the bottle he used to keep filled for Weary Willies; I would. have advised him to stay out of this steeple, chase. But the fellow just hankered to be "the guy what broke the bank at Monte Carlo," and so here he is, back in 1922 Quality Row, sans third term, sans G. E. R. and sans any spirits frumentj in his closet. "Ginneral" Grant, groomed by Roscoe Conklin' and aided an' abetted by a bunch of hustlers what called themselves "The Thirty," tried to break that third-term hoodoo, and with all the prestige of havin' changed the course of the Mississippi at Vicksburg and of havin' corralled "Ginneral" Lee at Appomatox, he couldn't do it. Now, here comes a derelict what had to run like the devil beatin' tanbark to get out of Wilmington, N. C., before the Hemp Legion of Honor could reach him, tryin' to do something' what Grant couldn't do, and tryin' to do it among a lot of aspiring and perspiring teakwood individuals who call themselves Antlers. Why, I knew Armond didn't have no more chance of doin' it than I have of gettin' an invitation to dine at the White House under this Bourbon administration. They say "boughiten" experience is the best. Mebbe Armond can tell you whether it is or not. He's a banged-up good fellow, at that, and the capacity brothers what call themselves Elks might have gone farther and fared worse, you can "bulleve" me. After what he did for them there teakwood antlers, he ought to have been elected for life and then retired on half pay after he had reached Paradise. Nev. Thomas is back from Cleveland, Ohio, where he "sojourned," or "guessed," as the amateur society editor on the Possum Trot Bladder would say. Nev conveys the information that our whilom friend, Roscoe B., is billed to speak in Cleveland on the 29th. No sooner had this information got to the ears of some of the members of the Parents' League than "the death battalion" of the league got their heads together and decided to get in touch with some oreide son of a sea cook out there in Cleveland and see if, when the Boy Orator of Harvard finishes his oration and peroration the aforesaid son of a sea cook won't rise up amidst splendor and acclaim, and propound to Roscoe the questions they will send out. Now, out in Ohio they have all kinds of people, and some of them would give a dam-sel whether it was not just accordin' to Hoyle or not to do such a thing. Every organization and class, these bloomin' days, has their "battalion of death," and the Parents' League has such a battalion. They like rarities and bizarre effects and innovations out there in that Buckeye State, and it is just possible that if the "battalion of death" gets into connection with a few oreide individuals who will rise up and propound the questions, it will enliven the meetin' and add "zest to the pyrotechnics," as Dick Thompson would say when shoving a news item across the Mason and Dixon line to some colored newspaper. Whether they will or not, I don't know, but I'm just givin' you the news as I heard it on the Black Rialto, which is U street, yesterday. I had a funny dream the other night. I thought I was down town in a haberdasher store when Doc Sum Wormley breezed in. It seemed he breezed in, and laid down on the show case two dozen socks, whose color ran a neck-and-neck race with riot all the way from a sunflower yeller to a burnt-cork black. When he laid them down, he said to the storekeeper, "Can you match them with ties?" The storekeeper told him he must have had them there sock before the war, 'cause since the war it has been impossible to get dyes from Hunland, so, of course, he couldn't match his variegated socks. With that, as I recall my dream, Doc Sum bundled up his socks, made his exit, mutterin' to hisself, "I'm doomed to remain indoors. until them d—n Dutch get to makin' dyestuff, 'cause I can't get no ties to match my socks." Doc always was for harmony—even in singin'. The regular substitute will be on the job again next week, so fare thee well. "Some day, I know not when," as the old song used to go, I may break in here again and tune up this column, so that somebody can "dye right," as Jess Foster used to articulate between drinks. Ah, there, Jess! Saw Sharley Hall the other day. Charley sort of had the westward expression.

Emphasizing the importance of the ballot as the basis of American citizenship, the National Race Congress of America is preparing its program for its fourth annual, or "suffrage," session, which convenes in this city at the Metropolitan Baptist Church, Twelfth and R streets northwest, beginning Tuesday, October 7, and continuing through the 11th. Early announcement of the details will be made. "The right to vote and to be voted for is the first of rights," says the National Race Congress. "It is the vital principle of self-government and individual liberty. The ballot marks the difference between the citizen and the serf. Without the ballot the colored American is powerless to contend for right and justice and civil equality; with the ballot he is all-powerful to act in defense of every lawful privilege." The addresses, declarations and resolutions will cover every phase of the so-called "race problem" in this country, and through a full, frank and fearless exchange of views on the part of the most influential forces among our people there will be worked out a definite and effective plan whereby the cruel and un-American practices of discrimination in public accommodations, mob violence, lynching, unfairness in the courts and disfranchisement, the crux of all the evils growing out of color prejudice, may be wiped out, and a "reign of justice under the law" established wherever wave the Stars and Stripes. Concrete results will be the aim of the congress, and true and tried men and women of the race will be asked to employ their best brain and executive ability to evolve practical methods through which the betterment of the civil, industrial and educational condition of our 12,000,000 Negro Americans may be most speedily brought about. A premium will be placed on how to get done the things that can be done, through a sane, firm and intelligently directed appeal to the conscience, the sturdy sense of justice and broad public spirit of the American people. The "suffrage session" of the National Race. Congress will bring to the attention of the world the plaint of the darker peoples of the universe and will voice the demands of the Negroes under all flags for the right to participate on equal terms in the vital work of reconstruction that must now be engaged in by every member of the human family. Reports from the field to the national headquarters, 903 Third street northwest, Washington, D. C., indicate that the country is aflame with enthusiasm for the October 7 meeting of the Race Congress. Local units are being formed throughout the States and in the populous colored communities, and arrangements are being made to send delegates of the most representative type. Sunday, September 28, has been set apart as a "rally for suffrage day," and it is requested that the local units hold mass meetings in the churches all over the land, to stir the Negro heart to the needs of the hour and to urge the necessity for sending delegates to Washington for the National Race Congress on October 7. This is important, and vigorous action should be taken. In the meantime, the loyal, and courageous leaders of the Race Congress are working day and night in Washington, influencing the American Congress to act on the bill to abolish "jim-crow" cars and to give the Negro equal accommodations on all railroads. They have been before the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate to urge justice for the African colonies wrested from Germany. They have joined with the president-elect of Liberia in pressing the claims of our sister republic for aid that will lead to its proper development, and have indicated a sympathetic interest in promoting fraternal relations with Abyssinia. They are pushing the $250,000 Emergency Defense Fund for the protection of the race in general, and are taking high ground upon all questions that involve the enforcement of law and order, the preservation of the national dignity and integrity, and to make citizenship mean the same thing for both races throughout the length and breadth of the land. To assist in this constructive service, let there be an immense outpouring October 7 to 11 at the "suffrage session" of the National Race Congress at Washington. SAVE YOUR INSURANCE. How Cancelled or Lapsed War Risk Insurance May Be Reinstated. Under the Treasury ruling of July 25, 1919. War Risk Insurance which has been cancelled or lapsed may be reinstated in whole or in part within eighteen months from date of discharge under the following conditions: A. The applicant must be in as good health as at the date of discharge, or at the date the insurance lapsed, if lapse occurred after discharge, and must so state in the signed application for reinstatement (Form No. 742). B. The application must be accompanied by a remittance to cover two months' premiums on the amount to be reinstated. One month's premium pays for the insurance automatically given during the first month for which payment was not received; the other pays for the first month's premium on therein stated insurance. For example: If a $10,000 policy was carried in the army by a soldier of 24 years and dropped in any subsequent month, let us say the 1st of March, for instance, and application for reinstatement was made in a later month, let us say September, for $1,000 worth of insurance, which would be $1.32; if $2,000 worth of insurance was desired to be reinstated, it would be $2.64; if $3,000, $3.96, etc. After the soldier has reinstated the insurance, he could then make application to convert it into one of the permanent forms of Government insurance. i. e., a straight life or an endowment policy. DECLINED TO SEE HIM. Prof. Charles H. Moore, Inspector of Colored Schools in the South and Agent for the Rosenthal Fund, Ignored. (From Daily Times, Wilson, N. C.) This morning, when Prof. Charles H. Moore, a colored man and State Inspector of the colored schools and the agent for the Rosenwald fund that is helping to build school buildings for colored children in this State, and has spent some $1,500 on the school buildings of Wilson county, was in the office of County Superintendent Coon, with other parties, Mr. Coon told Moore he did not want to see him; and not to come into his office. Prof. Moore, who has been connected with Tuskegee Institute and was vice president of the Colored Industrial School at Greensboro, gives us the following version of the affair: He says that in connection with his work as inspector of the colored schools of the State and as agent of the Rosenwald fund, together with Prof. Clinton J. Calloway, director of the eastern department of Tuskegee Institute, Tuskegee, Ala., and Prof. Newbold, who is also looking after the colored schools of the State, he came over here today to inspect the colored schools of the county and the buildings which have been erected with the aid of the Rosenwald fund. Mr. Newbold, he said, made an appointment for them to see Mr. Coon, and this morning before they met Mr. Newbold, he and Prof. Galloway went to Mr. Coon's office, and when they reached there they found Mr. Coon out. They asked two gentlemen who were in the office if Messrs. Coon and Newbold were in, and receiving a reply in the negative and that Mr. Coon was expected at any moment, they set their valises down in a corner and remarked they would return in a few moments. Starting out, Moore espied Mr. Coon, and, turning to Galloway, he remarked, "There is Mr. 'Coon now.' Mr. Coon looked at him and said, "I don't care to see you," and added, "furthermore, I want you to leave my office." Moore says that he replied, "All right," and departed. Later, seeing Mr. Newbold, he related the circumstances to him, and when Prof. Newbold asked him to return to Prof. Coon's office, he declined to do so. Later, Prof. Newbold, Galloway and J. D. Reid went off in a car on their inspection of the colored school buildings of the county: SURGICAL CHIROPODIST Special Treatment For Corns and Bunions. Will Cure All Foot Ailments.

"JIM-CROW" BARBARISM Of all the acts of the railroad administration, The Bee, without hesitancy, declares that the diabolical treatment of colored citizens on the Southern railroads is not only the most diabolical act of "jim-crowism," but barbarism. Packed in a car attached to a baggage car will be seen daily leaving the Union Station, in violation of law, respectable colored citizens, who must be subjected to the insults and every other kind of indignity of poor whites, as well as boisterous colored passengers, who have no respect for respectable citizens. Poor white men are permitted to walk in and through the colored section with impunity. Some time ago, perhaps about two weeks ago, the "jim-crow" section of a train was entering this city loaded with highly educated and cultured colored female educators, en route to the National Baptist Convention. One of the ladies, who was the wife of an Oklahoma colored editor, was asked why she did not go by the way of Chicago. She said that she had heard so much of color prejudice in the South that she wanted to see for herself. She had traveled all the way from Manitou, Okla., through the South, and before she reached Washington she declared that she had seen for herself, and that she had enough of the South. Nothing is any more disgraceful to civilization than the manner in which colored citizens are treated in cars going through the South. Is this a government of, for, and by the people, or is it a government for the few? When the black man is wanted to defeil the government against foreign invasion, he is drafted against his will, and after victory is won he is treated worse than a slave. The only loyal and patriotic citizen in the United States is the black man. He is the only citizen upon whom the Nation can strictly rely, under all circumstances and conditions, and he is the most outrageously treated. "Jim-crow" barbarism must cease, and at once.

The order of the Commissioners of the District of Columbia dismissing any member of the police department who becomes a member of the American Federation of Labor is right and just and should be upheld by all true Americans. The recent riot is an evidence of the justice of this order. During that riot many members of the police force failed to do their duty in arresting the violators of the law who saw them committed in their presence. Colored men were assaulted by a white mob, and when they attempted to defend themselves they were charged with violation of the law, while the white offenders were permitted to go free. Just why this and other phases of the race riot have not been investigated by Congress The Bee is unable to state. No government official should be permitted to belong to any labor organization, and more especially any member of the police department. The restraining order issued by Mr. Justice Gould, to give the members of the force an opportunity to justify their contention, was a prerogative of the court and the court should not have been criticized by a member of the Judiciary Committee of Congress. Congress makes the laws and the courts interpret them. Congress is not always right and neither are lower courts always sustained. If the order of the Commissioners is not legal, the court will so decide; hence all criticism of either the acts of the Commissioners or the order of the court should be stayed until the final adjudication.

A LIBERIAN LEADER SPEAKS From the Christian Science Monitor The president-elect of Liberia, Charles Dunbar Burgess King, looks like an American Negro college professor. It is surprising to learn that he was educated wholly in Liberia, so like an American is he; and yet one should not be surprised to find the American stamp on all Liberians, for it was a little group of American Negroes who made their way along the West Coast of Africa sixty years ago and planted civilization among the tribes of their black brothers. "There are 2,500,000 inhabitants in Liberia," said Mr. King, "but only 40,000 are civilized. Of these, half are sprung from the Americans who have settled in Liberia. We are endeavoring to extend civilization, but it is slow with so small a nucleus. We should like help and would welcome colored settlers from the United States. Our natural resources are ample, and the government gives to each settler 10 acres of good land. "I would not lure anyone through misrepresentation, however. There has been too much of that. Anyone who comes to Liberia will have to work. It is pioneer work, and therefore hard, but there are satisfactory returns if one is willing to work. A colored man from the United States will feel at home in Liberia, too, for he will hear no language but English and that of the native tribes, and our government is modeled on that of the United States. The colored man, however, does not seem anxious to leave this country." Mr. King is asking the United States to extend credit to the amount of $5,000,000 to Liberia, and, if he is successful, he will employ an agricultural expert, an educational expert, a financial adviser, and someone to help develop industries in Liberia. Mr. King speaks with pride of Liberia's having ranged herself with the Allies in the war against Germany. The capital of this small republic was attacked, and many of her citizens who were in the Kameruns were thrust into houses and burned because they would not fight for the Germans. Mr. King has been in Paris at the Peace Conference, presenting a claim for reparations. ABOUT PEOPLE YOU KNOW. Attorney and Mrs. Armond W.

WHAT MOTON ALLEGES REALLY TO HAVE SAID My position on the recent riots was stated in the communication I sent to the New York World August 2. In that communication I said: "The time has come when thoughtful white and colored people alike will not tolerate wholesale mobbing of innocent Negroes because of the alleged crime of one. "The Negro has never instigated a riot by wholesale attacks on white people. The very fact that in riots the innocent have so frequently been obliged to suffer withi the guilty has created in the Negro an aggressive and vindictive spirit which manifested itself in the riots. One of the most unfortunate things about such occurrences is that it frequently hurts the morale of the conservative, law-abiding Negroes and puts them, of necessity, actively on the defensive. "Those who make and execute the laws owe it to themselves and to their country, as well as to the Negro, to see that the Negro has protection along with other citizens. It is hard for the average Negro to understand how we can spend millions of dollars and thousands of lives to help protect the lives of weaker peoples in foreign countries, yet fail to protect our own loyal, patriotic colored citizens in this country."

Listen — A 7) APPLICA a sTiON é ; DONG FAMOUS BEAUTY EXPERT SAYS COLORED WOMEN THE MOST BEAUTIFUL. Cleveland, Ohio.—It was Mme. Beckwith who founded—really originated—the celebrated "Ambrosia Treatment" for hair and complexion, and whose preparations, manufactured by the Ambrosia Toilet Company, have achieved a world-wide popularity. Lately she has become much interested in urging colored women to resort to beauty culture. In an interview recently she said: "Colored women are naturally the most beautiful women in the world barring none. Among them we find a beautiful riot of colors—colors that vary from the smooth, intensely black, and graduating up through the fascinating "high brown" to complexions as fair as the lily, with a bit of rose tint in the checks. No other people or race can boast of so beautiful a variation as the colored people. And colored women, if they only knew it, possess the foundation for the most lasting beauty. With all their neglect of preserving beauty they do not fade so quickly as the women of the Latin races, and their beauty, with care, outlives the beauty of the women of the Anglo-Saxon. "If we but turn back the pages of history we find that the most famous beauty of the ages was a colored woman—the beautiful Cleopatra, whose ravishing beauty ensnared and enslaved kings and princes. Because of the handicaps that an accursed color prejudice places on the colored race the women of that race ought to use every endeavor to preserve, restore when lost, and acquire beauty if Nature has been so recreant as not to bestow it. Physical beauty in women—and most especially in colored women—frequently dissipates race prejudices, for few men, and women, too, can withstand the charm of womanly beauty. But, alas, I find that too many colored women have, and are now, neglecting to preserve, restore or acquire beauty. Many have been endowed by recreant Nature with short, stubby, coarse hair, and too swarthy a complexion; but what Nature has done to retard; beauty culture can be relied upon to furnish the charm of beautiful hair and complexions. "In recent months I have given great study to beauty culture as an indispensable art for colored women, and with the assistance of the world's best chemists, whom I have called into the work, have succeeded in reducing to an exact science a system that will positively-assure for colored women so unfortunate as to possess short, stubby, coarse hair, and bad complexions hair that is long, straight and beautiful, and complexions that will shame the most beautiful complexions of their white sisters. "I urge all colored women, as a duty they owe to themselves, to their husbands, and children, if they possess such, to preserve with proper treatment beauty that Nature has bestowed; to restore beauty that has been lost, and to acquire beauty Nature failed to bestow. There is absolutely no reason why colored women should go through life burdened and more heavily handicapped with short, stubby, coarse hair and inexpressibly bad complexions, when these may be improved with proper treatment. Fickle man soon tires of decadent beauty, no matter how beautiful the soul and heart. That's a trait—ah, should I say of the beast? I urge colored women, old as well as young, and married as well as single, not to delay beginning the preservation of beauty they possess; of restoring beauty they have lost, or acquiring beauty recreant Nature failed to bestow. Centuries ago the hair and complexion of the colored race was not short, coarse and stubborn, and repulsively swarthy. God did not make the short, coarse hair and dismal complexion—climatic conditions was the imp that did it. So, why should not colored women strive to regain what God intended all women should have—beauty? I expect to devote much of the remainder of my days interesting colored women especially in beauty culture." FALLS CHURCH GLEANINGS. Among those from here who attended the horse show at Manassas, September 1 and 2, were Mr. James Lee, Sr., Mrs. James Astwood, Mrs. Tolbert Thomas and Mr. Louis Lee. The Sunday School Department of the Methodist Church held its annual picnic in a delightful grove near Chain Bridge last Friday. Trucks carried the children to and fro at a reasonable price. Fishing, ball games and croquet were indulged in by the older people, and the day proved a delightful one to all. Mr. James Lee accompanied his daughter, Mrs. Astwood, to Philadelphia, where he expects to remain indefinitely. *** Miss Pinn, the industrial teacher for this county, paid her third visit here for this summer last Thursday and Friday. On Thursday evening canning demonstrations and instructions were given to all who cared to attend, and on Friday the children made reed baskets and raffia mats; also finished some sewing which was started at the first lesson this summer. Mrs. Fannie E. Summerall and Mrs. M. A. Davis, her aunt, were the guests of Mrs. Sophia Colley, of Berkeley Springs, last week. While there they were delightfully entertained by friends from Martinsburg, W. Va., York, Pa., and Bridgewater, Virginia. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Taylor motored to Lincolnia last week and were the guests of friends there. The new home of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Craig, which is now in the process of building, is rapidly taking on form and shape, and bids fair to be a pleasing structure. Mr. Robert Fletcher is visiting relatives and friends in Southern Virginia. *** Mrs. Copsie Tinner is dividing her time between here and Washington, where her sister, Miss Ruby, recently underwent a serious operation. We wish for her a speedy recovery. *** Among those who have returned from their vacations are Rev. and Mrs. G. W. Powell, Mrs. Lula Denny and Mrs. Bessie Rumbles. *** Mrs. Grace Henderson is the guest of her mother, Mrs. Eva Williams. Mr. E. B. Henderson, of this town, appeared before the Interstate Commerce Committee of the House of --- Representatives last week and testified to the barbarity of the jim-crow car law. The hearing was arranged through the efforts of the Colored American Council, of which Mr. Lassiter, of Washington, is president, in supporting the anti-jim-crow car bill introduced by Mr. Martin Madden, of Illinois. During the opening remarks by Mr. Madden, characteristic reference to "niggers" of our State was made by Rayburn, of Texas, in questions to Mr. Madden, and the "good treatment" of our "niggers" was mentioned by Congressman Sanders, of Louisiana. The colored speakers were: Mr. Henry Murray, counsel for the Colored Council; Capt. Louis Mellinger, Lieut. Gregory, Mr. Mitchell and Mr. Henderson. Congressman Esch, chairman of the committee, questioned Mr. Henderson closely with reference to whether there was definite bolshevki propaganda being used among Negroes. To this Mr. Henderson replied, "There is definite effort being made to persuade Negroes that racial prejudice is bolstered up by capitalists in the South and North to keep white and Negro labor from working together in a common cause." The Council was complimented by Chairman Esch upon the logical and complete way in which it presented its testimony. Mme, Agnes J. Smith, principal of the Fountain of Youth Beauty Culture School, Inc., 935 R street northwest, announces the opening of her fall and winter classes in beauty culture, Monday, September 22, 1919.
