"They pur chased over two hundred thousand dollars worth of stamps and over three hundred thousands dollars worth o Those who failed to be present at the Y. M. C. A. last Monday evening missed one of the most convincing lectures that has ever been delivered anywhere in the United States. It was the concluding campaign for two additions to the great Whitelaw Apartment. The star of the evening, that little Napoleon of industry, finance and progressiveness, John W. Lewis, president of the Industrial Savings Bank, who has done more for Washington than all the would-be promoters of enterprises that have ever sprung up in this city. The lecture room of the Y. M. C. A. was crowded to its uttermost capacity to listen to a man who has the respect and confidence of the people. at 8 o'clock. The Napoleon of industry, finance and progressiveness came forth in an unostentatious manner, just as if he were climbing a ladder with a hod of bricks or marching with Coxey's army when it invaded Washington, and his first utterance was his congratulations to the people who had responded so readily to his invitation to be present to listen to his lecture. For two hours John W. Lewis held his audience without being restless. Against the wall was a chart illustrating his thoughts. In the middle of the chart was a col- [Image of a man in a suit with a sash]. lege for white boys, and in the upper righthand corner was a college for colored boys. Both white and colored boys, with the same opportunity, start to school. They go to their respective schools. The white boys after they leave school start out in life to earn their livelihood. The white boys take up their respective professions or trades, and when they earn any money they find their way to a bank owned and controlled by white men. The colored boys, who started out with the white boys, are found—where? One is the chauffeur, for the banker, one a janitor for the other white man, and the other colored boy is a cook for the other white man, according to Mr. Lewis. "I will show you where the money earned by the colored people goes." This illustration was so vividly put that it almost threw the vast audience into convulsions. The colored brother will collect money to build churches, not that they should not build churches, but where do the members put their money? The congregation meets, the society meets, and some member of both will say: "I move brother moderator and members, that VOL.XL.NO.23 The Washington Bee we appoint a banking committee to bank our funds." The committee of three is appointed, and straight it goes to a white bank, from which you could not borrow ten dollars on a gilt-edged note; indeed, you have got to be identified in some of these banks to draw out your own money." "The colored Americans have done well," stated the speaker. "They purchased over two hundred thousand dollars worth of stamps and over three hundred thousands dollars worth of Liberty Bonds to help white man's democracy. If the colored people can raise all of this money for the white man, why cant they raise two hundred thousand dollars to build a home for themselves?" At this remark there was loud applause. "I was asked a few days ago, or rather a colored man met me and said: 'Brother Lewis, I was requested to ask you when you would declare dividends?' Now, no one asked this brother such a question; he wanted to find out for himself. And I want to say to you that this individual hasn't purchased ten cents worth of stock. I was also told that the Whitelaw Apartment House was owned by Mr. Whitelaw, a white man, he said. My friends, I don't know such a white man. Some years ago, when I was older than what I am now, say about forty years, and I expected to live thirty years longer, my old white mistress, would name the farm hands. Some were named Jennie, some Mary and some John and Jack, but she named me John Whitelaw, and without my knowledge and consent. Your apartment house is named for me. I am the only Whitelaw known in this connection. Some of you have a way of saying we have nothing to put a nigger' to doing. You must get out of that. If any of you are taken sick, no white man or woman is coming to nurse you or wash you. You talk all over yourselves. Fifty per cent of the commerce of the United States is controlled by the Jews. We must pattern after the Jews and earn money and save it. I was on Pennsylvania avenue a few days ago, and I met a man I knew. He remarked, 'Mr. Lewis, see that building over there?' 'Yes,' I said. 'I want you to erect a building like that for the colored people.' Now, this man was speaking about the Munsey Building. That has been the great trouble with our people—they build too many castles in the air. We must go to the ground, like by friend, Richard Ware, and go up. If the editor of The Bee, Mr. Chase, were asked to select five colored persons to take charge of Woodward & Lothrop's store, it would be an impossibility. You must have years of experience before we can conduct a department store." Space will not permit more to be quoted of Mr. Lewis' most excellent lecture. He was followed by a vocal solo, which was excellently rendered by Mr. F. Carroll. Prof. Green accom- WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1919 paned the solosst. At the conclusion refreshments were served; after which President Lewis announced that he had gone over the top one hundred and fifteen thousand shares more than enough. At this announcement there was the wildest enthusiasm. Old men and old women shouted, young men and young women would have danced had it been permitted. It was a scene of joy, happiness and contentment, and John W. Lewis was crowned the Napoleon of finance, the man who erected a monument to the colored citizens of Washington, when all others had failed. November 21 to 23 the Whitelaw Apartment will hold a public reception, and every citizen of Washington is invited to be present. It will be the greatest event in the history of colored America. DR. HERBERT HARRIS. Prominent, Young, Well-Prepared Dentist Succeeds Dr. Tancil—ExArmy Dental Surgeon Opens Office at Seventh and T Streets. The Bee welcomes Dr. Herbert W. Harris to the professional ranks of Washington: Dr. Harris not only comes from a family which has for three generations been connected with work in Dr. Herbert Harris. and for the race, but he comes to this city from the best possible preparation for his work and from nine months' experience as a dental surgeon in the U. S. Army. Dr. Harris was commissioned as a lieutenant and left for Camp McClellan, Anniston, Ala., where he has engaged putting in fine shape the teeth of our boys, prior to embarkation to whip the Kaiser. Since his discharge, Dr. Harris has opened a large and handsomely furnished and equipped modern dental office for the work so much needed by our people here in Washington. It is well known that the work of the several departments of the army have given unusual opportunities for experience in modern practices in all lines, and Dr. Harris, who is a graduate of the medical department of the University of Pennsylvania, is doubly prepared by reason of his military service. Dr. Harris is proud of his opportunity to do his bit in helping to close the war, and those who know say the teeth of the men aided greatly in the successful work they did. This was shown in the general splendid appearance of the men, resulting from their mastication of army food, which was supplied so generously by Uncle Sam. Dr. Harris' grandfather was postmaster in South Carolina, while his mother, Mrs. Caroline Harris, was an aggressive member of the Board of Education, as well as a teacher of high merit and long service before her marriage. His father, Mr. William Harris, is well known in political circles, being a staunch Republican and a political prophet. His sister, Mrs. Helen Harris, is a charming and successful kindergartner. Her husband, Lawyer Mortimer Harris, was connected with the naval service during the period of the war. It is to be seen at a glance that the whole family is known for its splendid service, and Dr. Herbert Harris deserves the support which patriotic race-loving people grant to those who serve. Dr. Harris' modern, scientifically appointed dental parlors are situated over Scott's Cafe, 1855 Seventh street northwest, on the northwest corner of Seventh and T streets. The young dentist is a graduate of the Dunbar High School and the University of Pennsylvania. BETHEL LITERARY. A moving picture illustrated lecture will be given at the Bethel Literary and Historical Association on "Governmental Activities," by Mr. Don Carlos Eller, at Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, M street between Fifteenth and Sixteenth streets northwest, on Tuesday evening, November 11. 1919. The lecture will be of great educational value. Among other selections will be a solo by Miss Alice Porter. The program will begin promptly at 8 p.m. All are invited. WARRENTON CHURCH CONDUCTS PEW RALLY. Last Sunday afternoon a get-together meeting of the women of the Mt. Zion Baptist Church was held, after which all were served with ice cream provided by the pastor, Rev. J. D. Pair. At night the church conducted a pew rally, and Rev. Dr. M. W. D. Norman of Washington delivered the special sermon. Many out-of-town friends sent from $1 to $5 for the rally, which totaled from all sources $511.59. Capt. Henry Matthews headed the "Blues" and reported $216.38. Capt. Henry Brewer led the "Reds" and reported $243.21. The following lieutenant, in the order of their names, reported the large amounts, viz: Mesdame Dora Matthews, $72.25; Maggie Brewer, $51.85; Anna White, $33.60; Abbie W. Ruffin, $27.75. All lieutenants and workers were active, loyal and faithful. Messrs. Nash and Roe gathered the offering from those seated in the gallery, which was $8.55. Rev. Pair announced that his fall rally will close on Thanksgiving night, when other rallying committees will report and all moneys gathered during the rally will be announced. Last Saturday at Harpers Ferry, the Y. M. C. A. team licked Storer, by a score of 20 to 0. The game was played throughout in a pouring rain, but a large crowd of spectators stuck it through. In the first quarter the "Y" scored a safety, and at the end of the second quarter made the first touchdown of the game. here was no scoring in the third quarter, but in the fourth the "Y" made two touchdowns in quick succession by the aerial route. At no time in the game did Storer dangerously threaten the "Y" goal. Storer's gains were through the line, but all her attempts at forward passes were broken up. Rain and the wet field slowed up the game, otherwise the score might have been doubled. Line-up: Calhoun, L. E.; Thornton, L. T.; Colline, L. G.; Rambo, C.; Green, R. G.; Coates, R. T.; Polk, R. E.; Brown, Q. B.; Wood, F. B.; Dandridge, L. H.; Lee, R. H.; Matthews, L. G.; Smith, E.; Tatum, R. H. Touchdowns: Green, Calhoun, Polk. Safety: Dandridge. The Y. M. C. A. team is still blustering for a game with Howard. Here's hoping that somehow they will be able to get it.

Hunt Speaks to The Parents' League Monday, October 27. "Moens a Burden Thrown on Our Schools—Who Placed Him There? Where the Real Responsibility Lies." Before a large audience at the Vermont Avenue Baptist Church, Monday evening, October 27, Miss Florence M. Hunt, the gifted orator, delivered the following address: Members of the Parents' League: I am exceedingly glad to learn that the league has turned its fighting forces on Dr. John Van Schaick, whom I consider, from all reports concerning the case in question, is directly responsible for the burden which our schools have had thrown on them in the form of Herman B. Moens, an alleged scientist and anthropologist. According to the newspaper report of the findings, in the case of Herman B. Moens, the fact was brought out that Dr. Van Schaick, who was at that time president of the Board of Education of the Washington schools, introduced this alleged scientist and anthropologist into our schools. Since this fact was made known, I have again been informed that when the Parents' League asked to have an investigation made by the Board of Education to look into the moral competency of Mr. Bruce to continue at the head of the colored public schools in Washington, that Dr. Van Schaick exclaimed that if an investigation were made concerning Mr. Bruce, his moral fitness could not be discussed nor could the Moens case be discussed in the proposed investigation, as he, Dr. Van Schoick, was responsible for the introduction of Moens into the colored schools. I, therefore, think that as Dr. Van Schaick has openly expressed himself 'to the Parents' League as having placed this fake scientist and anthropologist in our schools, and is desirous that the responsibility for the deviltry which this monster is alleged to have practiced in our schools be placed on him, that by no means should the Parents' League and the public deprive Dr. Van Schaick of this pleasure. It has been my desire from the very beginning of this fight that Dr. Van Schaick should have the pleasure of answering the charge of the operation of Moens in our public schools, as testimony which was given at the Moens trial in the criminal court, according to the press, brought out the fact that this fake scientist and anthropologist was introduced to the principals, teachers and children in our public schools through Dr. John Van Schaick, president of the Board of Education. In all of the discussions concerning this Moens affair, I have never heard anyone yet give a tangible reason for the purpose of Moens being introduced to our school corps. This, to my mind, would be a very important fact to learn, as the ascertainment of such knowledge might enable the Parents' League to get a clearer idea of the scope of the enemy's forces yet to be encountered, in order to derive the fierceness of the battle yet ahead of us. When the Parents' League started out to fight Mr. Bruce, it was evidently not realized that Dr. Van Schaick was so closely allied to the cause for which we were attacking Mr. Bruce. After being convinced of the presence of this higher-up force, which appears to be so closely linked with the maneuvers of Mr. Bruce, our attention as turned to Dr. Van Schaick as bearing the responsibility of this burden, in the hope of averting the attention of the remaining members of the Board of Education from the incompetency of Mr. Bruce on the basis of a moral issue, to the incompetency of Mr. Bruce on the basis of pedagogical and administrative qualifications. Thus, Dr. Van Schaick shifted the main purpose for which the Parents' League was organized, which encouched the principle of a moral issue, to meet the main purpose for which it now appears that he has so closely allied himself with Mr. Bruce—which purpose is to further use Mr. Bruce, the Assistant Superintendent, as a tool with which to arraign Mr. Thurston, the Superintendent. This fact was clearly manifested by the minority report which the Board of Education published in the daily press. By elim- (Continued to page 6.) CLARENCE M. DE VEILE.

C., NOVEMBER 8 1919 . £ BISHOP CLINTON: AND “JIM-CROW” CARS. 7 The recent convention held in this city’ by the Race Congress was an assemblage‘composed largely of ministers. Of the laymen, who'came, most of them have such a.close and’ intimate connection, officially or otherwise, with the ministry as-to be classed as sec- ondary ministers. ‘So, without wandering far from the facts in the case, it may be said that the Race Congress was an ecclesiastical gathering: It.was a gathering of gospel ministers and, near-gospel ministers, who took to themselves a secular title. ©, ; : The only thing occurring at the Congress which, in our opinion, marred it, and which should not be permitted to pass without com- ment, was the address of Bishop- George W. Clinton. of the A. M. _ E. Zion Church, whose postoffice address is Charlotte, N. C. Bishop Clinton said, in substance, that entirely too much was being said _ about “jim-crow” cars; that much! that was being said:about them was foolish and untrue; that they were not as bad as they were painted; that he felt better’and-more comfortable when’ riding with - his own people, and that wheri he was: traveling ‘He ‘liked’ to be in the company of “Aunt Susan,” “Aunt, Jane” and “Aunt Caroline.” ‘ Bishop ‘Clinton is not a bad man. But for the fact that he occa- * sionally opens his mouth, and nonsense, such as above quoted es- capes therefrom, it.might be’said.of him.that he is harmless. No) Negro can. be said to be harmless who has. any, compromising or commendatory words for “jim-crow” cars. The sad thing about Bishop Clinton is, assuming that lie is honest’and incorruptible, as- the law presumes him to be; that he is wanting in knowledge and \ Understanding.. The ‘lowest, meanest Negro in the land knows that “jim-crow” ‘cars, had their origin in. the institution of slavery and the system of caste; tliat they ‘survive.today only. in those, places where it is sought to brand men and ‘women of dark complexion with an inferior status. Such cars exist in thie South because! white men there insist that Negroes are not entitled to as good and com-. fortable traveling ‘conditions as the whites are, for the reason ‘that Negroes are not as good as whites. If they believed that Negroes are as good-as they are, they could have’ no possible objection to . riding in the same compartment or. coach with them.* It may-very. well be that Bishop Clinton beli¢ves that black people are not as “good: as white people; that “Aunt’ Susan,” “Aunt Jane” and “Aunt, Caroline” belong in a “jim-crow” car. Of course, if he. honesfly entertains such views, we-do not-question his legal. right to do so; but we do insist that he ‘has no'legal, moral 6r other right to accept the money contributions of these lowly women, and we ‘further insist that “Aunt Susan,” “Aunt-Jane” and “Aunt Caroline” should no longer take -money which they .have cakned at manual .labor, possibly in some kitchen or over. some washtub, and give it to him to dress “in purple and fine’linen and fare sumptuously every day.” If Bishop Clinton and. others of his type are going to take the side of the segregationist and the “jim-crower,” well- and good; but when they do so let them seek association and support from the segregationist and the “jim-crower.” If dur people, men’ and women, will refuse to be preached to by men of this type, and will withhold.from them financial support, they will find their true level. The.men already to a large’extent are doing this. .The women are behind ‘the men in this respect. They need to catch up and stand| with the men; they must stop supporting any man of the race who is not absolutely sound on the question’ of racial equality. They have the power to. do it, and power exerted in a case of this kind is right. The ‘time has come when the Negro must ‘use every law- ful means at his‘command. to miake those who live, by rendering him any kind-of service know that they must, stand four-square for the fundamentals of human rights. Make Bishop Clinton and men of his type, when they are apostate in these: matters,. feel the moral edge of your.resentment. : r 4 ‘It should be stated that the Rev. Mr. Goodall of Georgia took exception to Bishop Clinton’s speech as it ‘related to “jim-crow” cars. REPUBLICAN VICTORY.

Thus, evidently presupposing that the eyes of the only real representative which the colored people have on the Board of Education, that most faithful and loyal spokesman, Attorney Fountain Peyton, were closed, as well as the eyes of the Parents' League, Dr. Van Schaick attempted to exonerate Mr. Bruce from the testimony given by witnesses which charged that he also lacked the administrative qualification necessary for an educator to possess in order to superintend the colored public schools of Washington, by placing the burden of blame for all failures affecting Mr. Bruce's administration at Mr. Thurston's door. Immediately, when this deceptive act of Dr. Van Schaick was detected by the members of the Parents' League, they again proved that they were not asleep on the job, but, quite to the contrary, were wide awake, and as a demonstration of this fact, they at once hoisted a new banner in front of the Franklin School, bearing the emblem, "Bruce whitewashed; Thurston made the goat." So chagrined was Dr. Van Schlaick at the perception of his trickery being exposed that he evidently could not face the public and the numerous interviews with newspaper correspondents at such a crisis, especially in the face of his ambition to become a Commissioner of the District of Columbia; so, as a result, he absented himself from the city, leaving to act in his place Mr. Learned, the chairman of the committee whom he appointed to investigate the qualifications of Mr. Bruce, and whom, it is reported, he desires to have fill Mr. Thurston's place as Superintendent of the Public Schools as soon as he can get Mr. Thurston out of the way. Mr. Learned likewise absented himself from the city, evidently waiting for the extreme interest and numerous interviews with the newspaper correspondents to blow over. --- DIAMONDS IRING: A SPECIALTY Thus, at a crisis in our appeal to the Board of Education to remove Mr. Bruce from the position of Assistant Superintendent of Colored Schools, we have the following summary: 1. The first, and most important charge against the Assistant Superintendent by the Parents' League, which is his moral unfitness to remain at the head of the colored schools, is eliminated by the President of the Board of Education, who announced to the league that no moral issue would be permitted to be discussed at the investigation. 2. The Moens case, which was the primary factor in the organization of the Parents' League, is also eliminated by the President of the Board of Education, on the grounds that he is responsible for the burden of Moens thrown on our schools, and not Mr. Bruce. 3. The seemingly maladministration of Mr. Bruce, which was brought out from time to time in the course of the testimony, to some extent by those otherwise favorable to the Assistant Superintendent, according to the statement of both the majority and minority report, was also eliminated by the President of the Board of Education, on the ground that Mr. Thurston assume the responsibility of this charge against Mr. Bruce. Thus, you see that through the entire investigation Dr. Van Schaick, the President of the Board of Education, has diligently and ardently schemed to shield Mr. Bruce from the burden of all blame placed upon him by the public for his failure to perform his duty as Assistant Superintendent of Colored Schools. At this stage of the fight there would naturally arise in every thinking person's mind the question, "Why is Dr. Van Schaick so zealously working to shield the misdemeanors of Mr. Bruce?" With the ascendency of this thought into the mind, one is carried back to the advent of Moens into our schools, and the inquiry into the reason why Dr. Van Schaick placed Moens in our schools is no doubt the next thought which arises in our minds. Has Dr. Van Schaick at any time ever told Mr. Bruce or any of our teaching corps for what purpose he decided it was so beneficial to colored children to permit this fake scientist and anthropologist to walk in and out of our various school buildings and examine --- The Little Store with the Big Reputation PRICES lower than you will find elsewhere, because we give you the benefit of the high rent, lights and clerk hire that the big store is compelled to charge upon each article sold, therefore our motto: "Same goods, less money."

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 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.
