The Attention of the Secretary of War Called to the Incident.
On October 7, Mrs. Ida Dorsey, colored, an employee in the Adjutant General's office, was accosted by a white clerk, who indecently exposed himself to this employee, who immediately called for assistance. The would-be assailant was placed under arrest and then released. Mrs. Dorsey was satisfied if the authorities would dismiss the man, but up to the present time nothing has been done. The colored male employees reported the matter to those in authority, but nothing was done. The attention of Secretary of War Baker has been called to it.

BANKER LEWIS CONTINUES TO DRAW THE CROWDS
Receives an Enthusiastic Reception Wherever He Speaks—The People Continue to Purchase Stock—The Napoleon of Finance Makes Great Hit Monday Night—The People's Monument.
Monday night at the Y. M. C. A. an interesting talk was given by Mr. Lewis, president of the Whitelaw Apartment House Company. He illustrated his talk with a picture of six boys, three white and three colored, who start out in life together. They are playmates and sometimes schoolmates, and receive their diplomas the same day. The white boys leave school and find the business world open to receive them, and they advance until they reach the stage where one is president of the largest bank in his State, the other controls the railroads, and the third one is a large real estate broker. But when our boys finish school, just as well educated and capable as the white, just as ambitious as they, yet after ten years we find one chauffeur for the president of the bank, another a Pullman porter, shining the railroad, magnate's shoes, and the third operating an elevator in one of the real estate broker's hotels. Why is this? It is not because they are not as well educated but because we as parents have provided no place for our boys and girls to

work. We continue to contribute to the wealth of the white man, and hence he is more than able to provide places for his children to work. For the last thirty years the colored race alone has contributed to societies and fraternal organizations alone $16,000,000 annually. It has all gone into the white man's bank and has helped him advance his children, while ours lose heart and often lead bad lives because they have no way of carrying out their ambitions and ideas. Let us patronize our own people who have ventured into the business world, deposit our money in our own banks and build our own hotels and apartments, and in so doing, lay the foundation for brighter days for our boys and girls. In Washington today there are 125,000 colored people, who pay on the average of $5,000 a minute for existence, and it is all going into the white man's pocket. It is time for us to wake up to our responsibilities, for truly "we are our brother's keeper." Over $40,000 has been subscribed for and over $6,000 collected, and we are confident of getting the amount asked for. Our investments pay 6 per cent interest and at the same time enable the colored race to enjoy a position of prestige and distinction heretofore unknown. All eyes are on the colored people in Washington, and what we do here will be an incentive to people elsewhere. Let us wake up and save our children. Come out next Monday at the Y. M. C. A. and hear the results of this week's campaign.
THE GREAT RACE CONGRESS.
Prof. John R. Hawkins-Gets an Ovation—Banker John W, Lewis Electrified His Audience—He Stated Some Facts—Rules of Order Are Adopted—Continuation of the Last Report.
The great Race Congress came to a close last week, which was the most successful gathering of men that has ever assembled in this city. Prof. John R. Hawkins received an ovation after he delivered his report and was re-elected executive secretary by acclamation. Banker John W. Lewis, the Napoleon of finance, delivered one of the most effective and timely speeches that has ever been heard. He held his audience spellbound. Judge W. H. Harrison in the closing hours of the Congress delivered one of the greatest addresses that ever fell from the mouth of man. For two hours he interested the vast audience that assembled Friday night. At the conclusion of his address the applause continued ten minutes. The people waved their handkerchiefs, and the vast audience gave him a standing salute.
Prof. John W. Hawkins Gets an Ovation.
Wednesday was a busy day in the conference. At the opening Wednesday morning Bishop I. N. Ross, vice president, presided, and the opening prayer was made by the Rev. J. C. Austin, of Pittsburgh; then followed the reading of the journal, which was approved.
Resolutions of sympathy were passed and ordered sent to Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, praying for the recovery of the President of the United States. The report of the committee on the address of President Jernagin was made by Hon. W. P. Howard, of Mississippi, and then came the report of Prof. John R. Hawkins, executive secretary. This was perhaps the most important report made and covered a large scope of work. Upon this work rests the life of the organization, because it had to, do with the real tangible work being done. In his report Prof. Hawkins first outlined the object of the bureau, which, he said.
WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1919
was two-fold: "First, to function as a medium through which valuable and necessary information should be imparted to our people in acquainting them with the work of the National Race Congress, and, second, to act as a bureau for collecting and filing valuable information from the people as to racial matters. This information is divided into two classes: (a) That of the most important feature of special achievements by colored people in various lines of endeavor, both as individuals and as racial units so that we may be prepared to show our work to the best advantage. "(b) That of acts of injustice and discriminations perpetrated against our people, so that we may be able to make proper defense in our light for justice and equal rights under the law.
"July 19, 20 and 21 our city went on record as staging a miniature race riot, in which many of our people became involved. Many were arrested, thrown into jail, and hailed into courts. It was a time for immediate action, and our executive committee, recognizing the situation, immediately took steps to give relief where needed.
"We visited the hospitals, jails and courts to get first-hand information as to what was necessary to be done. We put ourselves in touch with the Bar Association of colored lawyers, and by their generous cooperation, arranged for the interest of those of our people who were brought into court to be properly defended. Needless to say, this popularized our efforts, and the first mass meeting was a great success.
"From time to time we have kept up our work following cases with splendid results. We have kept a detailed account of receipts and expenses and are prepared to make an itemized report in executive session. We have encountered opposition and discouragement, but in spite of all we have pressed on. We started with but a few and without a dollar, and today we have innumerable and our collections have gone into the thousands of dollars, and the success with which our efforts have been crowned inspire us to say that, we do not intend to stop until we have reached every corner of the country and have a defense fund of a million dollars. (Applause.)"
"This brings us to the core of the whole matter and suggests the question as to how this is to be done. The answer is by making this organization truly a National Race Congress for the Negro with local units and every town and hamlet in the country. Believing that this would be approved, we have prepared local constitutions, and charters for those delegates to take back home with them."
IN DUNBAR HIGH SCHOOL
Alexander Brachocki (pronounced Brahotsky), who made his debut with the New York Symphony Orchestra, will give a piano recital in Dunbar High School on Tuesday evening, November 11, at 8:30 p. m., on the anniversary of the armistice.
Mr. Brachocki is a protege of Paderewski, the great Polish pianist.
Away back in 1903 Eugene Brachocki, the father, organist of the Church of the Sacred Heart, in South Scranton, Pa., appeared one day at the Scranton Conservatory of Music, leading by the hand a tiny boy of 6, the little Alexander, asking that he be accepted as a pupil. From the first the child made remarkable progress and was soon appearing in the conservatory recitals, the beginning of a long line of appearances extending over many years. The boy's advancement was so rapid that the director, Alfred Pennington, took him under his own personal charge and instruction.
At the age of 13 the boy gave his first recital, playing a program of dit
ficult pieces. In 1912, when he was only 15, he played the tremendously difficult Concerto by Paderewski in its entirety, the orchestral accompaniments being played on a second piano by Mr. Pennington, and a program was sent to the pianist's home in Morges, Switzerland. This concerto in A minor, of stupendous difficulty and of great length, was played entirely from memory and without a break. In his next annual recital—his recitals in Conservatory Hall always drew large crowds—he played the concerto by Moszkowski, together with some of the most difficult selections by classical and modern composers. In 1914 he played the celebrated "Emperor Concerto," by Beethoven, and at his graduating recital in 1915 the great Walstein Sonata, by Beethoven.
For some years it had been the settled conviction that if Mr. Paderewski could be prevailed upon to hear young Brachocki just once, the great pianist would take a personal interest in him. That the gifted boy could become a celebrated pianist was not doubted; and who better than Paderewski, the idol of two continents, should take him in hand? But great men are difficult to get at and are prone to look askance at budding geniuses, moreover, Mr. Paderewski had been known to take under his tutelage only three persons, all of whom are celebrated—Stojowski, Madame Zumowska and Ernest Schnelling. What chance, then, for an obscure Scranton boy? (To be continued next issue.) Miss Amy Dorsey, soprano, of Scranton, Pa., a pupil of Alfred Pennington, of the Scranton Conservatory of Music and Cornell University, will be the assisting artist.
This recital will be under the auspices of the Community and Civic Center Department, Public Schools, D. C. Seats now on sale at the Dorsey Violin School, 902 T street northwest. All tickets, $1; coupon exchange. November 1, at 9 a.m.

Pastor of Union Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church—One of the Most Distinguished and Successful Divines in the A. M. E. Zion Connection.
Pastor of Union Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church—One of the Most Progressive and Intellectual Ministers in the City—The Man of the Hour.
The race has had many ministers, all men of sterling qualities, but our attention has been attracted by Rev. T. J. Moppins, pastor of the A. M. E. Zion Church. Here we have a man who has advanced not by favoritism, but by honest toil, and he stands today as one of the most progressive, benevolent and honest ministers to be found in the city of Washington. Would that we had more men of his calibre to help us in our fight for justice and fair play, to help us raise the standard of our ministry to a place where it is unapproachable.
for further successes that each pastorate has bidden him God-speed.
He came to Washington at the special request of the presiding bishop of the Philadelphia and Baltimore Conference to pastor Union Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church. Upon taking charge, he found the church in a very bad condition financially and in much confusion, caused by the removal of the former pastor. Rev. Moppins has worked hard and faithfully and has established a high standard of systematic worship, and in two years paid off the church's indebtedness of $8,000. Such a man needs to be commended and deserves the love and respect of everyone. Rev. Moppins has always come to the front in every movement for race advancement and at the present is one of the fifteen special campaign
Rev. T. J. Moppins was born in the State of Alabama, was educated in the schools of Alabama and Tennessee, and received special theological training at the famous Washburn College, Topeka, Kan.
He is a man of sterling qualities and unapproachable integrity and has had a very successful career. During the twenty-seven years of his ministry, he pastored two years at Brookwood, Ala., two years at Decatur, Ala., two years at Nashville. Tenn., seven years at Topeka, Kan., and Richmond, Mo., three years at Philadelphia, Pa., four years at Birmingham, Ala., and three years at Washington, D. C. At all of these places he has served with unfaltering endeavor and has made the community better for his having worked there; and it has always been with sincere regret and hearty good wishes

Moppins has always come to the front in every movement for race advancement and at the present is one of the fifteen special campaign managers for the Million-Dollar Ter-Centenary fund of the A. M. E. Zion Church. On a recent visit to the Allegheny Conference, held at Pittsburgh, and the Ohio Conference, held at Youngstown, Ohio, he presented the Ter-Centenary Movement and secured the sum of $9,500, over $2,018 being laid on the table following his eloquent address.
Rev. Moppins is well known in Washington and has been respected and loved wherever the sound of his voice has been heard, and at every place he has ever been he is welcome to return. His life has ever been an open book in his church associations and in his private life as well, and in the twenty-seven years of his pastorate he has never had a mark against his character. This is a wonderful example of an honest, upright, intellectual man.

I see that my friend, Toomey, is in the city, looking just the same as ever. Toomey was the guest of the Musolits last week. The boys were glad to see him. He came all the way from Miami, Fla., to attend the Race Congress. Of course, Toomey recited one of his poems while at the Congress. It would not be Toomey if he didn't.
The colored people have lost faith in the present president of the Board of Education. If he were to resign, no tears would be shed. If a few others resigned, for instance, Learned and Mrs. Caroline Cook, there would be a jubilee. Well, there will be an end to this oppression some time.
Speaking of the schools, the colored citizens have not become dependent, and neither has the Parents' League. There is fighting moral in the league yet, and there always will be. Don't you know that no other place but this city would tolerate this imposition?
Bishop Geo. W. Clinton had better, retire and go into seclusion. He should either preach the gospel or retire. If he is satisfied with jim-crow conditions in the South, let him keep it to himself. He is most happy when he is riding in a jim-crow car. Well. I have never seen a jim-crow colored individual who was not happy. We have had them in this city. You can see them in and around the jim-crow theatres.

I see that Bob Miller has announced his candidacy for the next convention. Well, the woods will be full of candidates. Many will be called, but only two chosen.

You probably have tried all sorts of remedies on your scalp without getting the desired results, until you have become discouraged and lost confidence in all hair remedies. Thousands of others, like yourself, finally turned to using Seeby's Quinade, and have been so pleased with the result they would never again waste their time or money using anything else.
Quinade is not an ordinary pomade; it is highly medicated and is a real scalp food. Quinade stimulates and nourishes the roots of the hair, causing a natural growth of long, straight hair. It will make coarse, stubborn hair soft and silky, and easy to put up in the style desired. Quinade will positively allay itching of the scalp; and dandruff, which is the real cause of most hair and scalp troubles.
To get best results from the use of Quinade, one should shampoo the scalp every two weeks with Seeby's Quonasoap. a soap made entirely or 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.

JUDGE HARRISON SPEAKS
AT DUNBAR CENTER
Judge Wm. Harrison delivered an eloquent address on "Visions" at the Dunbar High School, under the auspices of the Community Center. Several others also appeared on the program: Rev. Carver, opening prayer; Rev. Battle, benediction. Rev. Denham introduced the speaker, and the Dunbar Community Center chorus furnished the music:
MISSIONARY ALLIANCE.
The Christian and Missionary Alliance will hold its sessions beginning Tuesday, October 14, in the Seventh Street Holiness Mission, 1531 Seventh street. The remainder of the sessions will be held in the Cadets' Armory, 708. O Street northwest. There will be three sessions daily. Pastors, divinity students, day and Sunday School teachers, the laity and public in general are all cordially invited to attend. The sick and sinners are especially invited.
The Christian and Missionary Alliance, which holds its first convention in the Capital City, October 14-26, is a non-sectarian, interdenominational, evangelistic organization, founded by the Rev. A. B. Simpson, a distinguished pastor of New York City, where its present headquarters are located. The name of the organization defines its purpose. It is working in sixteen foreign fields, requiring the use of twenty-two foreign languages. It has nearly 500 stations, requiring the services of over 300 missionaries and 600 native workers. In its 118 churches over 13,000 native communicants and inquirers are enrolled. Then there are Sunday Schools, day schools, boarding and Bible training schools, in which thousands of young people are enrolled. In short, it has a parish of over 40,000,000 souls for which it is responsible. Its sessions are open to all.
NEW TRADES BUILDING.
Tuskegee, Ala., October 4.—Work on the Boys' Trades Building of the Tuskegee Institute, which was destroyed by fire last November, was started last week. Instead of one large building, the Trade School will be composed of a group of buildings all of modern construction and equipment. Windham Brothers, of Birmingham, Ala., contractors, and builders, were awarded the contract.
BAPTIST MINISTERS MEET.
Interesting Reports from the Different Churches—Visitors Welcome by the President—Sham Leadership Answered by Rev. S. G. Lankins—Editor Chase Complimented.
There was a representative meeting of the Baptist Ministers' Conference held in the lecture room of the Metropolitan Baptist Church last Monday morning. This assembly of Baptist ministers represents the leading Baptist churches in the District of Columbia, suburbs, Maryland and Virginia. Dr. M. W. D. Norman is the president and Rev. J. I. Loving is secretary. Among the visitors Monday was that silver-tongued orator and national newspaper correspondent, Dr. Charles Stewart, of Chicago, Ill.; Editor W. Calvin Chase; Rev. Gilbert, of Florida; Rev. B. N. Murrell, Rev. Darling, Dr. Carlin and others. Moderator Norman called the conference to order, and
after prayer and singing reports from the many Baptist churches were made. Editor W. Calvin Chase of The Bee was the first speaker introduced. He was followed by those mentioned above, with a strong and forcible address from that great orator and writer, Dr. Charles Stewart, of Chicago, Ill., and another good talk by Rev. Goodall, of Savannah, Ga., a young and brilliant speaker. Rev. Norman named Dr. S. G. Lamkins to respond to the visitors, which he did in no uncertain language. He paid his respects to sham leadership and men forcing themselves to the front by calling conventions and conferences and who are unfit for leadership and too senseless to properly represent the people. Such men, said Dr. Lamkins, do the race harm. The consensus of opinion was that he was referring to the race congress, which is more religious in its sentiment than political. He paid a glowing tribute to The Bee and its editor, which was loudly applauded.
Rev. Callis, who is always eloquent and sensible, was the last speaker called. He said, among other things, that the standard of the colored race was measured by the white race; that it is important for the colored race to give all nationalities to understand that the colored race was the equal if not the superior of any race upon this globe.
At the conclusion of the conference Rev. Holloman invited the conference to attend the race congress.
The Brethren of the Masonic Fraternity American Masonic Federation are much pleased over their old hall, 1111 Nineteenth street northwest, which has been renovated to such an extent that it looks like new. The American Masonic Federation is moving to help break down colorphobia in Masonry. The District of Columbia Grand Lodge and several others are the only ones of color that are members. The membership is white, composed of different nations.

The Bee is a great prophet—honey for its friends and the other for its enemies.
Some little time back we stated that the United States had complex problems to solve. The Democrats made the mistake of their life, viz, fighting the Negro. Senator Curtis, of Kansas, has introduced a bill to investigate lynching in the United States. The next mistake was doing away with "shorty."
Washington Commandery, K. T., at their Asylum, 1111 Nineteenth street northwest, held a very fine conclave last Wednesday evening.
Last Wednesday morning Star Lodge, B. O. Elks, had their housewarming at their new home, corner Fifteenth and Q streets northwest. Their home is finely fixed up. There was a large attendance of friends and members.
Senator Hiram Johnson, of California, says that the League of Nations is a league of armed nations and a big war trust, and after months of meddling nd muddling, etc., Italy detests us, France secretly despises us. England uses us and Japan bluffs us. Between the strikes and race riots which are now going on, the best thing is to look out for the United States and give the colored American a square deal.
Last Tuesday the Daughters of the Sphinx and the Order of Eastern Star held interesting meetings at the Temple, Nineteenth street northwest.
***
Last Wednesday the Royal Arch and A. A. S. R. Knights Kadosh held interesting sessions. The brethren and sisters are getting busy.
***
Congress will be asked to pass the Madden bill against, the jim-crow car and for the strict enforcement of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments by the National Equal Rights League.
The Democratic leaders feel Wilson's re-election doubtful. At the recent session booms for McAdoo, Attorney General Palmer and Gov. Cox, of Ohio, were put out as presidential candidates. In connection they contend if the League Covenant is defecated, Wilson will be renominated by acclamation; if it wins, it's anybody's race.

In its offensive against lynch lawlessness, decided upon at its twelfth annual meeting held here last month, a delegation of the National Equal Rights League, an organization un-
der colored leaders, with financial headquarters at 1827 K street northwest and executive headquarters at 34 Cornhill street, Boston, visited Representative Andrew Volstead and Senator Knute Nelson, chairmen, respectively of the House and Senate Judiciary. Committees, and urged them as their duty to formulate and introduce into Congress at this session legislation which makes it the province of the Federal Government to prevent lynchings and punish actual or would-be lynchers.
The delegation based its demand upon the alarming and nation-discrediting prevalence of mob murdering and its increasing recurrence at this time, and made the personal call to support and press the telegraphic requests along this line made by the executive headquarters in Boston since the Omaha outrage.
W. A. Taylor, president; M. A. N. Shaw, vice president; Wm. Monroe Trotter, executive secretary; Maurice W. Spencer, treasurer.
The Citizens' Association of Halls Hill is still progressing, having a ladies' auxiliary attached and cooperating with the community conditions as to having better school facilities, and so on. We look forward to a great future, while, naturally, "Job's friends" are on the job. The School Improvement League was reorganized, with Mr. E. O. Felder president and Mrs. Lucretia Lewis secretary. Sunday afternoon the Sunday School of Mt. Salvation Baptist Church had a rally, with good attendance and financial success.
Rev. T. N. Austin, pastor of the M. E. Church here, served at Langley all day last Sunday, and Rev. J. F. Williams preached at 11 a. m., and Rev. Russell Smith, preached at night. Both services were full of the spirit and were very much enjoyed. We are glad to report that Mrs. Manae Hyson, who has been very ill for eight weeks, is improving under special treatment at the Freedmen's Hospital.
The pageant at Chesterbrook, on Monday, October 13, broke the record, as the queens were from four different sections. The one bringing in the highest amount received $10 in gold.

. “COME TO HIS RESCUE, - ,
- The. Bee makes an appeal to those colored citizens who were or
the car.on the evening of July 21st at the corner of Seventh and G
s.rects northwest, when the car was attacked by. a mob, to go-at
uuce ‘to the office of Ex-Judge Alexander Mullowney, 408 Fifth
street northwest, or send their name’and address-to him. It will be
remembered that a mob of fiom five to six thousand attacked this
car, upon which colored citizens were passengefs, and’ assaulted.
A colored. man shot in self-defense,-in staying the advance of this
mob, and while he. was thus defending himself he was shot five times
by an officer. It is hoped that those persons who witnessed the
attack‘upon these colored ‘citizens, and especially ‘the coloréd man
who was shot five, times, will appear as witnesses and send their
names at once: to Judge’ Mullowney, 408 Fifth street northwest.
Don’t delay. “s *
COLORED TRAITORS.
. 4s it true that two colored, so-called representative men. from
the State of Georgia, have ‘been employed by certain, white men in
the South to come to Washington and appear before the Committee
on Interstate Commerce and oppose the Madden bill to abolish “‘jim-
crow” cars in the South? Is it true that there exists among colored
Americans, at this: time, traitors? .Is it true’that the so-called’ in-
telligent colored man is becoming so. base and. treacherous to his
race? Well, this. ix the rumor that ‘has been circulated ‘in and
around the Senate and House of Representatives of the United
States. a :
The Bee is surprised, because it has been ‘of the opinion that
colored informers and traitors died with the reconstruction of the
South. he young colored man at this time can be trusted, but
the matured colored politician of the old school must be’ looked
upon with suspicion. There are.twelve million colored Americans
in the United States, and of that number’ there may be a thousand
colored traitors of the: old school of politicians.’ It is the young
colored: Americans ‘who’ are defending the rights and the liberties of
their people, and the old.schéol politician is the dangerous element
in‘society. In the recent riot in this city the men who had been the
most abused were the heroes: in the conflict, while the silkstocking
gentlemen and ‘social frauds remained behind closed doors ‘and under
the petticoats of their wives: :
" The Bee hopes-the day will come when the colored citizens of
this city wiil crect.a monument io those brave colored citizens who
are today being ‘persecuted.. If. such traitors. appear before either
the Senate or House committee’ to.try to undo what Mr. Lassiter
and other good citizens have done, it is hoped that they will be
expelled from society and burned in effigy... : :
THEIR EYES QPENED. ~
The Columbia (S.. C.) State Reads
an Editorial Lesson to the South.
The’ Columbia (S. C.) State pub-
lishes the following editorial, which
should: be.a Jesson. to the South:
“Attacks on Negroes merely be-
cause they are Negroes, as reported
from ‘Georgia, excite the indignation
of all self-respecting. white men of
the South. When-a‘ crime is‘commit-
ted by a Negro and white ruffians
set’ out to chase and kill other Ne-
groes, against whose. innocence is no
shadow of evidence, these white men
placé themselves ‘on the level of the
Turks who massacre Armenians—
they are a disgrace to the citizenry
of’ any land, civilized or semi-civil-
ized, et
“Occasionally a man ‘has killed an
innocent. Negro and fancied that ‘he
got by with it, but it is not true.
Manslaying is not necessarily‘ mur-
der; the laws: wisely draw the dis-
tinctions. But no mortal man has
ever gained by murder, whether his
victim was of the lowly or. the
mighty, and no murder goes‘ unpun-
ished but that the country of the
‘murderer does not suffer. the ‘penalty
many times over. ~ :
“Thousands of graves of ‘white
men slain by ‘white men are in the
cemeteries ‘of the South because of
‘the toleration and tacit. encourage-
ment of murder of Negroes, for
when the white jury neglects ‘to pun-
ish the murderer of a Negro it, fos-
ters’ murder as a habit.» Probably
never was.an innocent Negro slaugh-
tered in the South that. some white
man, not in any way eonnected with
the quarrel, did not bite the dust as
a result. of it, for the simple reason
that crime is a disease- that draws
no color line and white men infected
with it by the killing of Negroes
infect their brethren. .. .
“Tt is in the law of nature that the
killing of Negroes does not go un-
avenged, and'there is many a family
of white orphans in. the South’ ‘that
owes "its sorrowful condition to the
folly that permits the practice’ of
lawlessness against men with black
skins.” :
Miss Edna Neal, of Buffalo, N. Y.

RACE CONGRESS (Continued from first page.)
Prof. Hawkins was given an ovation, and it was then and there that the Congress wanted to show appreciation for the services rendered by one of the most aggressive and one of the best trained men of the race by electing him executive secretary for another year. This was done.
Every State represented in the conference was heard from at this point on racial conditions and remedies. Some strong talks were made. The following officers were elected: W. H. Jernagin, D. D., president; Bishop I. N. Ross, vice president; C. H. Stepteau, D. D., Baltimore, Md., secretary; J. H. Randolph, Washington, assistant, secretary; A. C. Taylor, Washington, corresponding secretary; Prof. John R. Hawkins, Washington, executive secretary; W. H. Dean, treasurer; A. E. P. Cheeks, Newark, N. J., chaplain; J. C. Austin, Pittsburgh, national organizer; William H. Harrison, Chicago, national lecturer; J. Milton Waldron, D. D. Washington, secretary Haitien commission; J. D. Bushell, Pittsburgh, musical director.
It was impossible to get standing room in Metropolitan Baptist Church Wednesday night, and many people were turned away. It was at one time suggested that an overflow meeting be held in the auditorium downstairs. It was really franchise night.
Dr. P. James Bryant, of Atlanta, Ga., one of the greatest orators and workers in the race, was the principal speaker. He said many good things, and while he was pouring information and good common sense into the people, there was also a vein of wit and humor which helped to hold the large audience spellbound. He said that the American Negro did not ask any special legislation or any special favors, but did want that which he had earned by the shedding of his blood—"equal citizenship." He was the first to shed his blood for the independence of this country and the last to shed his blood on the gory battlefields of France for democracy. He wanted for his race equality of opportunity, equal protection, equal accommodation on common carriers, equal and free use of the ballot. He made a strong plea for the franchise and told his people that they ought to feel proud of the race because there was some class to it.
Mrs. Talbert, of Buffalo, made an address, and the closing address of the evening was made by Judge Robert H. Terrell. It was practical and contained many good suggestions for the race. Perhaps nothing lifted the people higher and brought more applause than did Miss Emelyne J. Tindley, of Philadelphia, the noted singer, whose voice moves audiences at will. She rendered two selections.
In the afternoon session there was a hot argument precipitated by Rev. W. A. Taylor over the election of a member who was not present. Editor W. Calvin Chase arose and declared that no man rendered greater service to the organization than Rev. Taylor. "You met this morning," declared Mr. Chase, "at 10 o'clock and sang and prayed until after 1 o'clock, and accomplished nothing." This remark created the wildest excitement among the delegates. "Now, don't get excited," remarked Mr. Chase. "It is true—what I said." One brother in the extreme corner shouted out, "This is no place for you. You are in the right church but the wrong pew." "I move," said Mr. Chase, "to strike from the list of officers the name of Rev. Graham and insert Rev. W. A. Taylor." The motion was unanimously adopted.
In every speech that was made, whether one previously prepared or otherwise, there was a degree of earnestness which declared that the conditions confronting the American people were driving the race together and there was a determined action, not to antagonize any other race or people, but to better the condition of the American Negro.
Mrs. Mary F. Talbert delivered an able address in which she spoke of overseas service among our boys. Her experience was interesting and full of inspiration. She, too, commended the organization and the coming together of so many representative men and women.
An able address was delivered by Mrs. Mary Church-Terrell, who told of her experience at the women's meeting, held in Switzerland, and gave the large audience on Thursday night the benefit of the address which she had delivered before that body of women from all parts of the civilized world. She had said some helpful things for the race and demonstrated the fact that she, too, is interested in the betterment of racial conditions. John Mitchell, Jr., editor of the Richmond Planet, and a member of the American Bankers' Association, the only member of the race belong-
ing to the association, delivered an address Thursday evening. It was practical and full of good things. He said that he had just returned from St. Louis, where he had been sitting with millionaires in the session of the American Bankers' Association. He spoke of the many questions affecting the American people today. He spoke of the days when he was radical, but he had decided to be conservative. He had not gotten away from the idea that a man should protect himself and his rights, for he said "When a colored man falls so low that he does not defend his own rights, then he should not have any rights.
"The world is moving, and it is moving because you are moving. We are moving at the rate of two miles a minute. I want that my people shall be polite, courteous and obliging, but not cringing. Be manly, and not beggars. There is but one way to stop lynching—that is, stop it when it takes place, and you will not have to go around waiting for a trial. We are law-abiding, and we will protect a white man as quickly as we will a black man."
The presence of the representative from India was one of the features of the Congress, and his address will long live in the hearts of the American colored people. It was inspiring and lifted their souls. They learned that there were others with troubles, others with problems, others oppressed, who were struggling for a foothold like the American Negro. When he had finished his address, there was a sigh and an exclamation of "Thank God, there are others!" The address kindled a sympathetic flame that will be extended.
The closing day, Friday, was filled with interesting events and strong addresses. Dr. W. H. Jernagin presided. There were several important committees which reported, and the plans were laid for permanent work. Men resolved to work as they had never worked before. Prof. John R. Hawkins laid before the Congress plans which will be carried out during the next twelve months. He demonstrated the fact that he is one of the best organizers in the race and a natural leader of men.
George M. Gooch will forever remember the session of the National Race Congress. He bore greetings from the Calvary Baptist Church, and in his greetings he touched fire to the powder keeg, and it exploded. He touched the question of lynching, placing the blame on the familiarity of the colored man, etc., and that brought many people to their feet. Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, Dr. P. James Bryant, Editor W. Calvin Chase and many others spoke. Before it was all over he had a different vision, and all was in peace and harmony. There was a strong address presented to the country, which will be used in another issue of this paper.
IN THE MUSICAL WORLD.
Pertinent Comment.
By Wellington A. Adams.
Miss Mildred Crawford, of Boston, Mass., musician, was a visitor to the city last week. She was appointed as Boston representative of the Music Master Magazine.

W. A. Taylor, Jr., and brother, Robert Kilibrew, will give a musical concert at Florida Avenue Baptist Church during October.

The violinist of Howard Theatre orchestra plays with the finish of an artist. His vibrate in effect is appropriate to the cantilena, both in smoothly flowing adagios and in passionate allegros. The vibrate, used with discretion, imparts to the tone of the instrument a close likeness to the human voice deeply moved.
Mrs. W. Roberta Dudley, Mrs. Evelyn Kennedy and Messrs. T. A. Heathman, Ulysses White, Fred Brown, Douglas Fickling and Leonard will render musical selections on a program at Lane C. M. E. Church during the month.

The Afro-American Folk Song Singers commenced their fall rehearsals this month. Henry Lee Grant is director and Miss Muse accompanist.
Roy Wilfred Tibbs and Mrs. Lillian Evans Tibbs appeared in joint recital at Dunbar Community Center Sunday afternoon October 12. Mr. Tibbs rendered organ selections and Mrs. Tibbs sang a group of H. T. Burleigh's compositions, Mr. Tibbs is now directing the Metropolitan A. M. E. choir, having been recently selected for the position.
Encourage the East Washington Male Chorus, Mr. Sardis D. Washington, director, as singing is a splendid recreational work for men and boys. It refines and dignifies a man and sweetens his natural life.
We hope the local branch of Negro Musicians and Artists will be successful in their effort to permanently organize a strong music body in this city under the acting president, Mrs. Georgia Frasier Goins. The movement deserves success, to say the least, and we wish to emphasize the necessity of musicians getting together hereabouts. Washington is famqus for non-unity and disruption among the high and low, if such there be. The great trouble among our musicians as a rule is that each dignifies and puts "self" above fellow-workers; puts the ban of inferiority upon the other "feller" and fixes a social barrier between themselves that smacks of autocracy to the highest degree. There are some musicians who consider their musical training so great that they fear contamination with apparent ignoramuses in their midst, but point out one who has had one-fifth of the training the average white musician receives, still they think self-supreme when really they are midgets among the great musicians of the day. A swell-head never made a great musician and never will and the sooner we conclude that our little training, matters not how great we think it, is but the opening door to greater opportunities reaching out beyond the threshold of modest character and concentrated application to still harder work, the sooner we'll find our proper sphere in life. We are going to lend a helping hand to the local branch.

The "In-Com-Co," a Government departmental monthly, edited by J. K. White, of the Interstate Commerce Commission, of which Prof. J. Henry Lewis is an honored employee, publishes the following interesting item of the Amphion Glee Club, J. Henry Lewis, director, in the October issue, as follows: "A program of a song recital given recently at Atlantic City, by the Amphion Glee Club, of Washington, has been called to our attention. The recital consisted of twelve numbers by such well-known composers as Dudley Buck, Ilgenfritz, Bohm, Samuel Coleridge Taylor, Dell' Acqua and others. There is nothing startling in the above announcement, but it no doubt will surprise many of our club members to know the Amphion Glee Club is an organization of twenty-one picked colored musicians of Washington under the able leadership of J. Henry Lewis, of the Mails and Files Bureau, and a member of the In-Com-Co Club. It is the oldest and best organization of its kind in the United States, and the writer recalls that some years ago Mr. Lewis produced in a local theatre, with local colored talent, a Grand Opera, which was largely attended by men and women of prominence at the Capital, including Cabinet Officers, Senators and several of the Diplomatic Corps. In the audience that night was a member of the editorial staff of the New York Times, who attended the performance expecting to hear the opera burlesqued in ragtime music. The next morning's edition of the paper contained a column article on the front page, commenting on the character of the performance and comparing it favorably with operas given by the then famous Bostonians and even the Metropolitan Opera Company."
The junior choir of Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, Mrs. Marie Jumper, director, recently presented the following favorable program in a song service: Hymn; solo, "My Task," Lieut. Jas. Lomac; chorus, "My God, Accept My Heart This Day" (Brackett); solo, Miss Saunders; solo, "Just for Today," Mr. White; chorus, "Majestic, Sweetness" (Engelman); chorus, "Crown Jesus King"; duet, Miss Saunders and Mr. White; organ solo, Prof. Braxton; chorus, "Make a Joyful Noise" (Caleb Simpes).
Mrs. Eslanda T. Johnson, well-known musician of Baltimore and Washington, gave the writer some very interesting facts concerning the race prejudice at Chicago Musical College, in a recent conversation. Space forbids mentioning it further this time, but will tell something more about it later. Mrs. Johnson is a musician of talent.

DR. TAYLOR PREACHES IN NEWPORT NEWS, VA.
Visits His Former Church and Is Greeted by Large Audiences at Three Services—Receives Hearty Welcome. from Members and Friends.
No greater satisfaction can come to anyone than to hear the honest praise of his fellowmen.
praise of his work.
For one to retrace the field of his former endeavors, to hear the plaudits of those whom he has served and to receive the "Well done" from the lips of those with whom he has worked is a pleasure highly deserved.
This was the fortune of Dr. W. A. Taylor as he visited and served the congregation of the First Baptist Church at Newport News, Va., Sunday, October 12.
This was a great day at our church, for Dr. Taylor pastored here for several years, and it was with regret of the church when he left to take up his new work as pastor of Florida
A. H.
Avenue Baptist Church, of Washington. D. C.
The doctor preached a powerful sermon Sunday at 11 a.m. At 3 p.m. he administered the Lord's Supper; but for the night service was reserved the power and eloquence of this able divine. He preached to an overcrowded house, and his audience hung upon his words throughout the discourse.
Dr. Taylor is highly appreciated in Newport News, and he never fails to draw an immense crowd whenever he comes to the city.
The members of the First Baptist Church love him with a devotion as strong and tender as they did when they so reluctantly gave him up for his new field of endeavor. Dr. Taylor can well be assured that wherever he goes our hearts and our prayers will follow him, to aid him in holding up the banner of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ; and we, the members and friends of the First Baptist Church of Newport News, will always extend to him a hearty welcome within our doors.
PRESIDENT REFUSES TO
SUPPRESS PAPER
The soft pedal has been put on the fight against journals of our race, claimed by Senator Byrnes of South Carolina to be seditious. The arguments in the attack on these papers were to the effect that they were radical in the extreme and dangerous in their tendency to renew bloody outbreaks between the white and the black races.
Representative McDuffie, of the first Alabama district, incensed by the contents of several publications, interviewed the Postmaster General in an effort to secure the suppression of these periodicals. He pointed out a cartoon representing a man driving an automobile through masses of fleeing whites, the colored man driving and shooting into the frantic crowds. Men falling were soldiers wearing service stripes. He pointed out editorials in which the editor congratulated our people for their successful opposition to mobs in Washington and Chicago. He also pointed out a paragraph in which it was said that in certain emergencies "a bullet is far more efficacious than a thousand prayers."
Postmaster General Burleson was interviewed by Mr. McDuffie. He agreed with Mr. McDuffie that the publications were inflammatory. Regarding the interview, the Alabama member said:
member said. "The Postmaster General told me that he had been considering and was still considering the advisability of denying the mails of The Messenger, published at 2305 Seventh avenue, New York City. He stated also
that the Attorney General was also giving thought to the subject. He then declared that the President had suggested that no such action be taken at the present time. It is evidently another case of 'watchful waiting.' The Postmaster General was entirely sympathetic, for he feels, of course, just as all other Southern men feel."
Department of Justice Tried. From the Postmaster General, McDuffie went to Mr. Lamar, of the Department of Justice, who is also an Alabamian. Mr. Lamar stated that he was giving this periodical "earnest consideration." He clearly stated that he was bewildered because if any action was begun to suppress this paper, the best argument would be on the side of the paper.
Papers Have Best Fight. It was brought out in the course of the interview with Mr. Lamar that although he was opposed to the publishing of these papers, they could, in any contest of their right to publication, state that they were simply attacking the lynching evil. This, of course, is a very embarrassing question in Washington. Mr. Lamar stated his opinion that these journals would arouse considerable sympathy in the North.
Wilson. Refuses to Act.
The matter was brought to the attention of President Wilson, who postponed any drastic action. Mr. McDuffie withheld a statement setting forth his opinion as to why the President suggested a postponement of action against the radical press. In all probability, however, the President was moved through fear of the "unrest" which prevails everywhere in the United States. It was probably his opinion that it would be wiser to suffer the danger of such publications precipitating other riots throughout the United States than to force the radical element of the North into the ranks of rebellious policemen, striking labor, pro-German agitators, sleepless I. W. W.'s extreme Socialists and professional mercurists.
The prevailing opinion in Washington is that the action of the President is due to the danger of Sovietism. Bolshevism and actual revolution in the United States. The President, it is indicated, is moved through desire to compose the discordant elements rather than crush them with an iron hand. There are many members of Congress who believe the President on the proper track. There are others who compare his course in the present emergency to his course in dealing with Mexico, a course apparently characterized by a lack of "punch" and aggressiveness in general.

Dr. T. Theo. Parker has recently added this table to his office, 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. . si
