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.

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.

All members are invited to attend the meeting, which opens at 8 o'clock. PUBLIC MEN AND THINGS. Finding I would have to lie in "the City of Buried Hopes" for forty-five minutes last Thursday before my train would "westward, like the star of empire, take its course," as Horace Greeley once elucidated, I sent a card to Bill Chase to meet me at the Washington terminal and be prepared to pay me that balance of long standing for helping, at times, to make The Bee sting, sing and shine. I also thought I would like to have a talkfest with sundry other luminaries who infest, invest and make Washington notorious, like Bill Houston, Phil Cuney, Amp Glenn, who, with Bill Chase, first introduced the jazz movement into the public schools on that memorable occasion that provided a scenario to be shown later in police court, and also Eddie Burrill, for whom I had something that would have backed "the nectar of the gods" off the board. But the only fellow to show up was Chase, and he, when I alluded to a slight balance for four or five years' service, simply smiled and began talking about those good old days when Wash Woods used to practice making sours for Judge Terrell and the rest of the Black Cabinet. Just before the train pulled out, Chase suggested that as the late Old Billy Mahone, of Virginia, was the first repudiator of consequence, he might shine as the second, which, translated into American English, meant there was nothing doing in the pay line for me. Of course, Dick Thompson can appreciate, just as much as I, this writing heavy "leads and scoops" hoary with age for a squeeze print, or teakwood newspaper on a verbal promise to be fulfilled ninety-nine years after death. Chase told me all the Washington dope, the real and near, scandals, gave me the tentative names of waifs what might be classed under "coming events" and wound up by reciting the "finis," as we derelicts in France used to expa- Detroit 33 H Street, N.

The whole blooming thing panned out as I intimated some months ago, and just as Jim Cobb, who was hired attorney by the year to know, said it would "finis" when it begun. The trouble, as I intimated some few moons ago, was that that "Parents' League" was simply a sort of an aurora borealis affair, with a whole bushel of declarators but few specifiers. Of course, we all know that the Little Lord, etc., has done enough to have caused the removal of Job's boils if they had only been half so numerous and exterior in their appearance. But the thing of it was, when they got that alleged Parents' League down at the corner of Fact avenue and Proof lane, there wasn't a ding one of them what knew jurisprudence from a batch of slaughterhouse by-products. But I am getting a few lines ahead of my story. While waiting at the station for my choo-choo train to choo-choo west, and after Chase had handed me the usual promise about paying me, with compound interest, when Judge Terrell fails for his hundredth reappointment as "Muny" judge, he begged me, on his bended knees, just like Doc. Will Davis will whenever he screws up sufficient courage to propose to some aged maiden of about his own youthful age, to write the Sage stuff for him this week. He pleaded, with a lot of crocodile tears flowing down his alabaster, erstwhile rosy cheeks, that Doc. Williston, Amp Glenn, Mary Church Tyrell, and one or two other bosom friends with a Damon and Pythias liking for him, had stopped taking his paper since I had struck for back pay, shorter hours and redeemable promises. He even offered to circumvent the bone-dry act by bootlegging into Washington a quart bottle of 2.75 percent near beer for me, if I would, just for this week, fill this space with junk. I finally agreed, on condition that he give me a promissory note, endorsed by George Smith and Simon Peter Drew, so here I am, after an absence t Cafe Arthur G.

Home Cooking. Close 12 Midnight 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 palmade; 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 Quinasoap, 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.

Getting back to that report on Roscoe, Fountain Peyton wrote a most scholarly minority report, but during my young life I have always found that the best a minority report can get is a lasting place in a dusty pigeon hole of some antiquated desk. Dependent sayeth not why Fountain unhitched himself from Roscoe, but seeing and knowing that Fountain is a lawyer. I am constrained to believe he, like others of his calling, feels justified in defending any critter who produces retaining fees in appreciable size, and prosecuting any bald-headed prize orator Harvard University can turn out in order to make room for more likable students. They tell me—course, I'm only telling you what they tell me—that Fountain did, once upon a time. get his daughter appointed teacher through some form of hypnotizing the Harvard. orator for whom Dick Thompson entertains a love about as strong as William Jennings Bryan entertains for Woody. Roscoe always did have a penchant—pretty nifty word, eh?—for making a hellofalot of promises and living up to but few, and it may be—excuse me if I am wrong—that he promised Fountain more sugar than the refinery can turn out. But be that as it may, the perennial chase for Roscoe's scalp has not abated, and I predict that he, like Jim Jeffries and John Sullivan, will yet miss the water when the well has gone as dry as Washington is today for Judge Terrell and Eddie Burrill. Another fact brought out in that investigation was that a large plurality of that Parents' League was made up of discarded bachelors and husbandless maidens whom Prof. Moens overlooked during his reconnoitering about the city. As John Lewis would say, when a borrower has an overripe note lying in his bank, "You just gotter get busy," if you make the Relay turn with sufficient speed to overtake the Harvard orator, whose speedometer shows that he has been going some ever since the late Dr. Washington sent him here by parcel post, sans a few empty souvenirs he left behind. Now, don't suspect me of holding even a Tom Jones written brief for Roscoe: I'm just sizing the shimmy dance up as she is, without partiality for Roscoe or favoritism for the Parents' League. My advice to the whole outfit of misfits, secular and non-secular, grotesque and serious, is you better get together sooner or later, or the white man will, earlier or before, get you.

HIAWATHA NOW HAS $ ^{a} $ Manager Byers Puts in a $1,500 Curtin—Work of Beaumont Studio of New York City. Mr. Rufus G. Byers, manager of the Hiawatha and Foraker Theatres, has made some remarkable improvements since he assumed management of those two theatres. Much credit is due to both managers, Byers and Murray. The latest acquisition of the Hiawatha Theatre is the handsome velvet draperies, the handwork of Beaumont Studios of New York City, at a cost of $1,500. These draperies have two hand-made folders, which hide the background on the screen against which the pictures are thrown. The cuffains are unfolded by an electric wire and fastened on either side by two velvet fasteners. The effect is most beautiful when the curtains are drawn and the screen exposed. To appreciate the effect, it must be witnessed just before the draperies are unfolded. The decorations on the draperies or curtains are worked in with velvet. It is the most artistic piece of work that the patrons of this theater can witness. At the entrance of the theater there are two convenient toilets for males and females. The seating capacity of the Hiawatha is now 450, and with the standing capacity raises it to 700. --- Ask your Druggist if he hasn't it Ask Your Next Druggist FOR SALE: At All Leading Drug Stores in Washington Welter's Tooth Powder Co., Inc.

Grand Master John Payne Turner displayed the wisdom of King Solomon by having the Royal Matron of each chapter crowned queen in the order above named, as each had done well and all deserved praise. Judge Robert H. Terrell was master of ceremonies. The success of the affair can be accredited to the wise management of Dr. D. I.

Thesis, assuming that he is honest and as him to be, that he is wanting in the lowest, meanest Negro in the had their origin in the institution taste; that they survive today only right to brand men and women of status. Such cars exist in the South that Negroes are not entitled to big conditions as the whites are, for as good as whites. If they believe they are, they could have no posses compartment or coach with the Bishop Clinton believes that black people; that "Aunt Susan," "Aunt Jane" in a "jim-crow" car. Of course views, we do not question his legal that he has no legal, moral or other distributions of these lowly women, Susan," "Aunt Jane" and "Aunt money which they have earned in kitchen or over some washtub, and linen and fine linen and fare sumptuously and others of his type are negotiation and the "jim-crower," so let them seek association and and the "jim-crower." If our purpose to be preached to by men of the them financial support, they will find to a large extent are doing this. In this respect. They need to catch they must stop supporting any man, sound on the question of racial do it, and power exerted in a man has come when the Negro must command to make those who live service know that they must stand of human rights. Make Bishop Clinton they are apostate in these matteriment. I stated that the Rev. Mr. Goodall top Clinton's speech as it related to WASHINGTON, D. C., NOVEMBER 8, 1919 BISHOP CLINTON AND "JIM-CROW" CARS. 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 secondary 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 comment, 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 when 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 occasionally opens his mouth, and nonsense such as above quoted escapes 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 he 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; that 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 the South because white men there insist that Negroes are not entitled to as good and comfortable 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 believes 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 honestly entertains such views, we do not question his legal right to do so; but we do insist that he has no legal, moral or 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 earned 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 our 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 lawful means at his command to make 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. 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.

Dr. Shepard Speaks to Large Assemblage of People from All Walks of Life. By N. Barnett Dodson. Raleigh, N. C.-The Colored State Fair held here the wast week was attended by large delegations of farmers, mechanics and professional men and women from all parts of the State. The exhibits of farm products, mechanical devices, poultry and live stock were the finest ever presented for public inspection. Everybody seemed to be enthused over the prosperity of the farmers, who themselves were centers of attraction and much sought after by the visitors, who were bent on getting all the information possible. The sentiment of the colored people of the State is more than happily expressed in the stirring address delivered to the great assemblage by Dr. James E. Shepard, president of the National Training School at Durham, N. C., who succeeds the late John Merrick as president of the State Fair Association. "Ladies and Gentlemen: Such a gathering as this presents an opportunity to show the handiwork of the Negro along mechanical, agricultural, artistic and literary lines. The magnificent exhibits here assembled are convincing proofs to the world that the Negro is not a shirker but a worker. He is intensely interested in developing the resources of the State and to prove to the State and to the nation that he is, in deed and in truth, a valuable citizen. "America is facing a grave crisis, and it is going to call for the combined wisdom of both races to stem the tide and save America from the hands of those who would destroy it if they cannot rule. We are facing a situation at the present time similar to that faced by the French people prior to the French Revolution. If America is to survive, there must be exact and equal justice meted out to all classes. Injustice and lawlessness is always a boomerang eof destruction. There can be no onward march to any nation's success and permanency to the democracy of the Republic unless there is meted out exact justice and fairness to all citizens." "The Negro is an American citizen, brought here by the most pressing invitation of the white man. He has never failed to do his part in the building up of this great country. I challenge anyone to produce a single instance of the Negro's disloyalty to the American flag or a single instance as a traitor to this country. On the battle field his record as a soldier or as a worker is absolutely clean. He has always endeavored to do his part without murmuring or complaining. He has never sought to organize or prevent others from working. He has never applied the torch or broken machinery and imperiled lives so as to prevent laborers from ekeing out an existence to support their loved ones. In very few instances has he been a striker, but in most cases has been used as a strikebreaker and getting the worst of the bargain. He has known nothing other than to do his duty as a citizen and a worker. "The Negro loves the South, and the Negroes of North Carolina, especially love the Old North State; and I believe I can truthfully say, notwithstanding any newspaper reports to the contrary, the Negro has never organized to murder, to burn, to seek to exterminate, or to bring unhappiness to any home, community or town.

Dorothy Canfield Fisher Says Lynchings Discredit United States in Europe. The United States is discredited and disgraced in Europe by lynchings, according to a letter written by Dorothy Canfield Fisher, the novelist, and made public today by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Mrs. Fisher, writing to Senator Dillingham in favor of a Congressional investigation of lynching, says that in her three years in France she observed "the astonished, amazed abhorrence which American lynching causes everywhere in Europe." Her letter follows: "Arlington, Vt. "October 24 My Dear Senator Dillingham: I am writing you as a Vermonter very much interested in the Negro question to beg you to use all your influence for a favorable action on the Curtis resolution calling for an investigation of lynching and mob violence.

But as one just returned from three years in France, I can perhaps present to you from much first-hand experience, some idea of the astonished, amazed abhorrence which American lynching causes everywhere in Europe. The whole nation is discredited and disgraced, and every word we say about human rights and civilization is laughed at by Europeans who know of the lynching evil in our country.

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."

These facts I have been told by both teachers and children—teachers who witnessed the examinations and children who were examined and whose pictures were taken. Were these examinations and photographings a part of the school course of study which had been recently added to our school curriculum? From the many statements which have been made to me by various teachers, the introduction of a course of examinations and photographings of our schoolgirls was not only disapproved of by the teachers of our schools, but, according to a statement of one of the teachers of the committee who signed the paper to appropriate money to fight the Parents' League, was also disapproved of by Mr. Bruce, who complained to Dr. Van Schaick that the parents did not like their children subjected to such examinations.

Schaick became so indignant at Mr. Bruce's protest that he compelled Mr. Bruce to go with him and this demon, Moens, in an automobile to a school building and witness an exhibition of the kind of examination carried on by Moens. This teacher further said, on the arrival of these three people, Dr. Van Schaick, Mr. Bruce and Moens, that Moens proceeded to take a little girl by the head, and on throwing back her head he lifted up the lid of one of her eyes. He next threw the child's head forward and proceeded to examine the back of her neck. At the end of this exhibition, this teacher further said that Dr. Van Schaick turned to Mr. Bruce, exclaiming, "Well, Mr. Bruce, do you see where such an examination has hurt this child any?" To which Mr. Bruce replied, "No, I can't say that the child has been injured by this examination, but the children's parents do not like it." During the time the Moens trial was going on, I was told by a relative of Mr. Wilkinson, the principal of Dunbar High School, that Moens had not been allowed to come into Dunbar High School for a year prior to his trial. Now, if Mr. Wilkinson had not considered it proper as far back as a year ago to allow this man to enter Dunbar High School, he evidently had good reasons for doing so. There must have been something irregular about the manquers of Moens around Dunbar which Mr. Wilkinson either knew or suspected that caused him to cease permitting this fake scientist and anthropologist to enter the school over which he had charge. The next question which would naturally arise would be, "Did Mr. Wilkinson report the reason for his objection to Moens entering Dunbar to his next superior officer, Mr. Bruce?" Again, if Mr. Bruce called Dr. Van Schaick's attention to the fact that the parents did not like their children subjected to such examinations by this man Moens, then why did not Dr. Van Schaick withdraw his permission from Moens to make examinations and take photographs of the girls in our schools? Also, if Mr. Wilkinson had the power to stop Moens from coming into Dunbar High School, over which school he has immediate charge, without the approval of Mr. Bruce, his next superior officer, then why didn't Mr. Bruce have the power to stop Moens from coming into the other high school and into the graded schools over all of which schools he has immediate charge, without the approva of Dr. Van Schaick, his superior officer? There is a deep, dark cloud hanging over the answer to this "why," which the Parents' League has been working for six months to clear away, and I contend that this dark cloud will never be cleared away until Dr. Van Schaick is either put on trial to answer the charge for inflicting such misery on American citizens as has been inflicted on the colored law-abiding citizens of Washington, D. C., or gets clear out of our school system. Dr. Van Schaick should be forced to tell the reason why he placed Moens in our schools. He should be forced to tell the reason why he was so desirous to get back on the School Board and become its President again, and he should be forced to tell why he played the deceptive part of gaining the influence of Mr. Peyton and the Parents' League to accomplish this desired end. And last, but by no means least, he should be forced to tell why, after gaining the Presidency of the Board of Education through the vote of Mr. Fountain Peyton, the spokesman of the colored citizens of Washington, and through the influence of the Parents' League, he so sneakingly betrayed the confidence of both Mr. Peyton and the Parents' League, by first telling the league that the decision of the investigating committee would be a unanimous one, which the league knew could only be unanimous in its favor, since Mr. Peyton was a member of this committee, while he afterwards tried to prove the decision to be a unanimous one in favor of the Assistant Superintendent, by attempting, according to the statement of a witness, to buy over Mr. Peyton, the Parents' League's only hope, to the Bruce side, before the investigating committee had heard any of the testi- This is the character of the man whom we have at the topmost head of our public school system in Washington. This is the character of the man who is not satisfied with the wide scope of the American citizens upon whom he has already brought so much misery, but is now directing his steps and all of his forces towards seeking a still higher position in the form of Commissioner of the District of Columbia, where he will have even a greater field for discharging his treachery, than while occupying his present position as President of the Board of Education. I have contended from the very beginning, and do still contend, and will always contend, that Dr. John Van Schaick is directly responsible for the workings of Moens in our public schools, and in this way he is also largely responsible for the reception of Moens in the homes of the respectable colored people in our city; for if Moens had not been given a cordial welcome in our public schools, he never would have been able to put his foot into the majority of these homes, since the schools in our city are supposed to be looked up to as setting the example by which the citizens of Washington are to be guided. Dr. Van Schaick has not only betrayed the confidence of the Parents' League, but he has betrayed the trust of each and every child in the colored public schools of Washington. Dr. Van Schaick owes a deep apology to the respectable colored citizens of Washington. He should consider it a great favor conferred upon him to be placed in the position by them to amend the wrongs which he has been instrumental in bringing upon them, instead of to the contrary, contriving every possible means and doing all in his power to prevent these struggling people from enjoying their rights as citizens and taxpayers. Such policy on his part now makes both the colored and white people of Washington wonder more than ever why Dr. Van Schaick was so interested in the examinations made and photographs taken by a man who was arrested by our Government on suspicion as a German spy. Is it this suspected German spy which Dr. Van Schaick is trying to shield, with Mr. Bruce as a cloak, or is he getting ready to introduce another demon into our schools through the alliance of Mr. Bruce, and considers it wise to first destroy the Parents' League before starting his new undertaking? As Dr. Van Schaick is guilty of the betrayal of the trust of the colored children of Washington, he is no more qualified to be head over the white children of Washington. This fact the respectable white people of Washington have already recognized. If Dr. Van Schaick has injured a part of the great family of American citizens of which he is the head, he will likewise injure any other part of his great family whenever an opportunity presents itself which attracts his fancy to use. The white children and white citizens of Washington trust him no more than the colored children and colored citizens of Washington, for as he betrayed Mr. Peyton, a "colored member" of the school system, so, likewise, it has been proven that he betrayed Mr. Thurston, a "white member" of the school system. And as he betrayed the Parents' League, a "colored organization" of Washington, so he has betrayed Mr. Thurston's friends, "white citizens" of Washington. Dr. John Van Schaick, together with his friend and ally, Mr. Roscoe Conkling Bruce, have both lost their usefulness in our public school system, and they both should be removed. The Parents' League is going to see to it that Mr. Bruce is removed, while I understand that there is a white organization now on the way to maturity which is going to see to it that Dr. Van Schaick will be removed. Concerning this white organization, I am going to tell you of it at a later date; but until I do so, always bear the one thought in mind, that there is something wrong somewhere, the deep, dark cloud is still hanging high, and we are yet far from our goal; and with the present unrest and agitation which prevails around us, I bid you to watch carefully, ere we have a greater bomb thrown in our midst than the one which struck us in the form of Herman B. Moens; for with the conditions which appear to exist between the President of the Board of Education and the Assistant Superintendent of the Colored Schools, we do not know at what moment an archist may be introduced into our schools through these two foes. So, until the parents' League and this white organization which is yet in its embryo stage, have both completed their work of ridding our school system of all alien enemies, I will once more pause to announce to the public to beware of Dr. Van Schaick.

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.
