Washington Bee

The Washington Bee CLAIMED TWO WELL-KNOWN CITIZENS ARE CLAIMED BY DEATH VOL. XL. NO. 24 DEATH OF W. C. CHAPMAN. A Faithful Employee of the Architect's Office Passes Away—Faithful Wife Rewarded—Solomon Funeral Services—A Good Record. In the passing of Wallace T. Chapman, one of the oldest employees of the U. S. Capitol, we lose a man who had much to do with the early development of the City of Washington. Young Chapman came to Washington in the early 70s and found employment in Maedes Hôtel: While there he came in contact with many high officials of this city, among them Mr. William L. Smith, superintendent of the Botanical Gardens, who secured employment for him there and assigned him to the duty of going out in the old Saul's Place, or woods, and selecting shade trees. Many beautiful trees adorning the streets of Washington were selected and placed by his hands. When a call was made for men on the Capitol grounds, Chapman, eager for higher pay, went over and was put on with the hodcarriers. Being small of stature, he had many a tumble with the hod, but his indomitable will never failed him. At the noon hour, when the other fellows lay A. resting in the shade, Chapman would go into the carpenter shop, and finding the boss carpenter, Mr. George H. Miller, busy, would hold his work or hand him tools. This caused Mr. Miller to become interested in him, and when a vacancy occurred, Chapman was brought into the shop. While there he was often sent to the home of the Hon. Edward Clarke, then architect of the Capitol, and by his manners attracted the attention of the whole family, and soon he was brought over to the Capitol and placed as watchman on the dome. Being of small stature, Chapman was often assigned duties other men could not perform. On one occasion he was sent up to make some repairs on the statue of the Goddess of Liberty. While thus elevated he climbed out and wrote his name on the sword held in her hand. At the death of the venerable old messenger in the Architect's office, Isaac Johnson. Chapman was called into the office and made chief messenger. At the death of Mr. Clarke, the Hon. Elliott Woods succeeded him, and Chapman retained his position, enjoying the confidence and respect of all connected with the superintendent's office up to the time of his death. He was a public-spirited man and was identified with many organizations, holding positions of honor and trust. He was appointed in 1884 private on the Metropolitan Police Force. Was captain in the Capital City Guards; was president of the executive committee of the N. E. County Citizens' Association; was treasurer of Home Builders' Lodge, G. U. O. of F.; a stockholder in the National Benefit Association, and trustee in the Household of Ruth, No. 4985. He married, in 1894, Miss Emma A. Johnson, of Anacostia, and settled at Lincoln Heights, D. C., where he bought a beautiful home and by his industry and thrift left his family above want. He is survived by his wife and three sons, R. Garrett, an auto mechanic; Bernard C., engaged in the coal and drayage business, and J. W., an employee of the Pennsylvania Railroad. Wallace T. Chapman was born in Manassas, Va. At the age of 12 he left his mother and went to Alexandra to work and go to school. Being defeated in his efforts, he went to Leesburg. On leaving Leesburg for Washington, he was given a reference by the Mayor of the town, Thomas C. Maulee. He was a man of high ideals, especially in his home life. He regarded the marriage vows as most sacred. The greatest sorrow of his life was brought to him when that arch-demon entered and broke up his home and he was robbed and deserted. In his second marriage, in 1894, to Miss Emma Johnson, of Anacostia, he found a woman true and tried: Together they built up a most beautiful home in Lincoln Heights, and Chapman's cottage is known all over the country, for during the census of 1910 they housed people from Pittsburgh to California. When the N. T. S. for women and girls was established, it was further known, for the overflow from the school always found a welcome retreat there. The hospitality of that home is indeed famous. The beaux and belles of the best circles of Washington society have had many a gala day on picnics or trolley rides. The newlyweds have spent their honeymoons in the shade of the famous old apple trees adorning the lawns. The most prominent physicians sent their convalescents there and Mrs. Chapman was laughingly called the resurrection for all who came under the influence of her wholesome food, for they were greatly benefited. By their habits of thrift and economy, peace and plenty always surrounded them, and none who sought aid or succor was ever turned away empty from their door. By accident Chapman's sight became impaired, and finally total blindness developed and his general health began to break, for such a loss to an ambitious man with such wonderful vitality was almost unbearable. The large house was sold and a smaller one purchased. His little wife was to him what an all-true wife should be. She was eyes to him, and when anyone called he was able to discuss the topics of the day as fluently as if read by himself. It was while she read the Scriptures to him he selected the text for his funeral sermon: Psalms 37:37. When he became concerned about his soul's salvation she summed it all up to him in Hebrew 9:10, "He that believeth with his heart and confesseth with his mouth, the same shall be saved." He was happily converted in March, 1918. Realizing what a burden he had become to his wife, and fearing she might tire of the care, he requested her in the presence of witnesses to renew the vows, which they did. It was her unceasing care which prolonged his life, and God sustained her in the hour of his death to hold his hand and pray as he went through the valley. To his children he left the legacy of a well-spent life, besides sufficient cash and land to build homes. His wife is domiciled in a beautiful home at 832 Forty-eighth street, with further provisions for her declining years. The following program was rendered at his funeral in Randall Memorial Church, Deanwood, D. C., on Sunday, November 2: 'Anthem, choir, prayer, Rev. T. Keene; scripture reading. Rev. William Howard; resolutions by the Home Builders Lodge, G. U.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1919 A Leading Business Man of This City Passes Away. James M. Ellis was born in Virginia and came to Washington twenty years ago as chef for J. H. Carr: He was a great cook, and his services were sought by leading rich people. After pursuing his trade for many years, he decided to go into business for himself and opened the Chicago Coffee, 1249 Ninth street northwest, where for ten years, in company with his devoted wife, Lucretia, he carried on the business with great success. His place of business was patronized by the best people in the city. As far as New York and the West his superior cooking was known, and when strangers came to Washington they always looked for the Chicago Coffee. Part of his business was to serve meals to the best class of white people in the neighborhood. Mr. Ellis was taken sick on October 18. With all the skill of the physician and the care of his devoted wife, who never left his bedside, and that of his mother and brother, he did not improve. In spite of all that could be done for him, Mr. Ellis died on November 5, at 8 o'clock. By his bedside were his wife and mother, Mrs. Ellis; his brothers, Abraham A., W. T., F. A. and H. H. Ellis; Green Mountain Lodge of Odd Fellows, of which he had been a member for fourteen years. For years he had been a member of the Baptist Church at Madison Heights, Va., his home, and he continued in the faith of his church till death; indeed, so assured 'was he of the reward that awaits the faithful that Mr. Ellis was glad to go. He seemed resigned to his fate, knowing that his home was paid for and that his devotee wife would have a place to rest unmolested. The funeral was held from Mt. Carmel Church, Third and I streets northwest, Rev. Jernagin officiating. His remains were laid at rest in Payne's Cemetery Saturday, November 8. MASONIC NEWS. On Monday evening, November 10. Most Worshipful Grand Master Dr. John Payne Turner and his officers made their grand visitation to Eureka Lodge. No. 5, F. A. A. M. The lodge room was beautifully decorated and the affair well attended. The Grand Master, being a member of Eureka Lodge, said he felt himself at home. He reported that Eureka was now leading in the "Two-Dollar Fund" contest, having recently passed Miriam Chapter. He made special mention of Eureka's Senior Deacon, Brother Raymond Weir, who, though active in other Masonic enterprises, made a house-to-house canvass of Eureka members and turned in $123.50 in less than 30 days. The welcome address of Most Worshipful Master S. D. Milton, was to the effect that "he was a maker of charts and not a maker of phrases," but his oration did credit both to himself and to old Eureka. Deputy Grand Master, Brother Jesse Mitchell spoke of the praises that had come from every direction for the way the Masonic Hall Corporation conducted its affairs and thanked every member of the craft for the support each had given Grand Treasurer, Dr. William A. Warfield, reported that $50,000 had been raised this year and that next year he knew that amount would be doubled. He admonished all present to prepare himself for the "Temple Drive, S. S.," which would be launched on January 1, 1920. One reason why success is crowning every undertaking is that nothing is done in secret. After Past Master George Ambler had held all spellbound with one of his ever-interesting reminders, Grand Master John Payne Turner was asked to present Past Master George H. Proctor with a past master's jewel as a token of remembrance for the faithful services he had rendered Eureka Lodge as her Worshipful Master. The scene was touching and Past Master Proctor was very proud of the honor bestowed upon him. Before the Grand Master could leave the altar Past Master H. J. Davis with a fitting address, presented him with a silver cigar case as a remembrance from Eureka Lodge. This last scene capped the climax as the Grand Master was too full for utterance. All present were happy, as each felt he had done his full duty. A grand repast was served by Brother Irving: *** Honored Lady Sadie B.

Two blocks from the Union Station and one-half block from the Government Printing Office. The Board of Education invited the Assistant Superintendent of Schools to its last session. Several members of the Parents' League were also present, who eyed the colored assistant as a cat would eye a mouse. Had the attendance been less, no doubt the colored assistant would have been dragged from his chair. The Parents' League means to fight and carry the war to the citadel. There is to be no let-up. The removal of Miss Smith, one of the assistant's strong supporters, and the recommendation of Prof. Houston, of Howard University, to the High Schools, are two of the surprises the colored assistant's friends cannot understand. The promotion of Miss Jane Page to succeed Miss Smith over the heads of more deserving teachers struck the deserving like a thunderbolt. Just what the next move will be is a question of much conjecture. The recent sensation is the damage suit against Dr. Carson. It is a hot fight. Just why the case was not defended and prosecuted, by colored members of the bar is a demonstration of weakness on both sides. Manager Andrew J. Thomas is on to a treacherous scheme of his enemies to harm him. But Andrew nipped the treachery in the bud, and in a few days there will be some sensation. The little theatrical manipulator is too foxy to allow his enemies to carry away the gold without his knowledge. Col. Charles W. Anderson seems to be the only pebble on the New York beach.

Speaking about enterprises, there has been one successful gigantic enterprise in this city. There is but one man who has organized a harmonious corporation and which has succeeded without the assistance of the so-called F. F. V.'s. Every F. F. V. has been a curse to the people in this city. The Bolas are menaces to society; the Blue Birds are social shams. The Bolas have been rooted body and soul from some institutions. They continue to infest Howard University and the colored public schools. Dr. Durkee will soon find that they are quietly carrying on their silent work in his institution, and the only way to get rid of them in the public schools is to abolish the present Board of Education, which will be done shortly. I want to congratulate the colored doctors' association, of which Dr Plummer is president. This organization is doing something, and Dr Harms, the guiding spirit, is a strong factor. The colored lawyers continue to sleep on their rights, and many of them are too nervous to defend their clients without the assistance of certain white members of the bar. The conspiracy that was instituted against Lewis Thomas, one of the most progressive musical promoters in this country, failed to materialize. Lewis put a quietus on the kickers, and today he is at the head of the greatest musical house and combination in the United States. The conspirators have been relegated to oblivion, and a new set of talented musicians has been brought to the front. If you will take a peep in his new clubhouse, you will be convinced that they never touched him. I happened to drop, into his studio, a few days ago, and he was so engrossed in composing a new march he was unaware that the Sage was in existence. The girl of this new march is Arthur G. Woods Proprietor CONCERNING 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 Quintide, 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 laque; 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 cent 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.

He played the new march to me, and I assure you I didn't know where I was, but I imagine that I was between the devil and the deep blue sea. Lewis went South a few days ago and what he brought back was a surprise to the natives. Just ask him, and his answer will be, "Just watch." You know, these Thomas brothers are a hard combination to beat. If you don't think so, just wait. The Masons went over the top a few days ago and Dr. Frenfro showed just what he could do. Dr. Turner doesn't talk much, and you can never guess him. He never fails. He is a silent manipulator who never, fails. The Craft has faith in him. **** John W. Lewis went way over the top last week. I have heard and seen more go over the top, but I have never known them to go beyond. John W. Lewis is one man who can go from the bottom to the top and several degrees over. This is going some. THE COLORED SOLDIERS ARE EXONERATED White Officers Whitewashed — Travesty on Justice — Colored Officers Suffered Discrimination and Humiliation. Cleveland, Ohio, Nov. 12. — The Cleveland Advocate, this week, under the caption, "A Beautiful Coat of Whitewash," carries the following editorial on the exonerating of the colored officers of the 368th Infantry on the charge of cowardice: "The colored officers of the 368th Infantry, who were accused, tried and convicted for cowardice in the Meuse-Argonne offensive over in France, have been exonerated, cleared of the charge of cowardice which rested not only upon the colored officers, but upon the men in the ranks as well. This exoneration is contained in a report made to Secretary of War Baker by the Inspector General's Staff which made the investigation. "But these innocent colored officers could not be exonerated without whitewashing the commanding white officers. Apparently, the only way found to clear the brave colored soldiers of the 368th ordered into that hell—that nest of German machine guns and barbed wire entanglements, against odds, and without artillery, or machine-gun support—was to declare that the failure of the unit to function was due to 'a mysterious, unauthorized order to withdraw.' The investigators could not, according to their report, even learn the source of that OUR NEW HOME PENDLETON AVE. ST.

The Largest and Only Tooth Powder Manufacturing Corporation Owned and Controlled by Negroes in the United States "If there ever was a travesty on justice, the trial, conviction and final investigation of the findings in this case, in which the white officers were whitewashed, constitutes a glaring instance. "The Inspector General's Staff, that made the investigation, even found that the claim of the accused colored officers and men, that they had suffered the greatest discrimination—sufficient to have destroyed the morale of most any other unit—was unfounded. There was no colored unit in the army, unless it was some of the labor battalions, that was the object of greater and more brutal discrimination than the 368th. This discrimination began at Camp Meade before they sailed for France. It was an oppressive, discouraging, brutal factor on the ship that carried the boys over. It was present in every camp they occupied, and it sent to an untimely, bloody grave those colored boys who fell in that Meuse-Argonne offensive. "Readers of the Advocate may recall that War Correspondent Ralph W. Tyler, on his return from France, wrote a series of articles laying bare the almost unendurable race prejudice and discrimination the 368th was forced to serve and fight under, and how the white major commanding, who could not be found when the fight was on, was promoted to a higher rank within a few days thereafter, while the colored officers who, with their men, were driven into, that inferno unprepared, were tried and convicted of cowardice. They will also, perhaps, recall that Mr. Tyler insisted that there should be an investigation—that those colored officers should not be made to pay the brutally unjust penalty meted out to them by court-naptial until every man who went into that inferno had been called to testify.

Had the War Department been presided over by some administrative officer imbued with the race hatred prevalent among President Wilson's Southern appointees, those colored officers, accused, tried and convicted by a prejudiced court-martial board, to save commanding white officers, would now be bivouacking with the dead, for that sentence to be shot would have been executed. "In this comment on the findings of the Inspector General's Staff it, is but proper that we say that Emmett J. Scott, when serving as special assistant to the Secretary of War, was ever tireless in his efforts made to secure justice for the accused and convicted colored officers. "Perhaps had the Inspector General's Staff been actuated by a determination to 'hew to the line, let the chips fall where they may,' the commanding white officer responsible for that 'mysterious order,' responsible for the brutal discrimination practiced against hte 368th from the time they were mobilized at Camp Meade to the time they disembarked at Hoboken after serving faithfully 'to make the world safe for democracy.' that report would not have been a beautiful coat of whitewash for white officers in order to 'clear colored officers of a brutally unjust charge.'

Patient: "No, str, I did not." Doctor: "Well, you have, and unless you take care of it you might lose it." Patient (very much frightened): "What must I do?" Doctor: "Wear the glasses I am going to give you." Patient: "But your advertisement says $2.98." Doctor: "I haven't much time to fool-with you. The glasses advertised for $2.98 will not suit your eyes. You need these." The patient pays the $12.

BOARD OF ALDERMEN The First of His: Race to Fill the “ Position in New York City—Ralph E, Langston, Manager, Elects His Candidate. ° Dr. Charles H. Roberts was elected alderman frori the twenty-seventh al- dermanie district,-of New York City, on November 4. : Dr. Roberts has practiced dentistry in ..New York -for over. twenty-five years. He purchased ‘a. ‘beautiful home in West. 139th’ street a few years ago and resides: there with his wife and daughter. During the early period of the war. he served on the dental staff of Hospital 265 in Paris: The alderman-elect is president of the Manhattan Medical, Dental and Pharmaceutical Association, of New York” City: He is the organizer of the Children’s clinic: under the aus- Pices of the Aid Society and served as director five years without pay... In the primary contest Dr. Roberts had the support of, all the leading ministers of the gospel, the lawyers, physicians and business men of our race.in Greater New’ York’ as well as every newspaper publishéd by_ colored men in the city., It is: conceded by everyone regardless of race or reli- gion that no better selection’ for the Position could have been ‘niade.’. Al- though Dr. -Roberts -has never been an active participant in: the: political affairs he has been a lifetime Repub- lican, * oo * He has interosted himself .in.mat- ters pertaining to the welfare of his. race to a greater extent. than most men, He'has given generously ‘finan- cial assistance to all worthy under- takings in behalf of the Negro. He is a man of spotless reputation, and no charge. of dishonesty. or of immorality has ever been made against ‘him. One of the most potent factors which:contributed to the suc- cess of ‘Dr. Roberts at the polls was the untiring’ efforts of his wife one of the most attractive. and. brilliant women in the city. . The doctor's popularity was shown especially in his home. election: dis- trict. Out.of three hundred votes cast his opponent received only nine, and the ‘district is divided about equally between whites and. Negroes. On election day’ Mrs. Roberts worked at her polling place from 6-a. m. un- til the polls closed at 6 p. m. . “Ralph E. Langston, one of the most astute politicians of the race, was the campaign manager for the’ successful candidate. _ He ‘is. especially proud, and justly: so, because of the, great victory, as it will‘be remembered that the Tammany. candidate, the present alderman, was. very popular among the colored. people, and.scores.of them were. loath ‘to. lose him: -from. the board, for the reason that he never refused. when, called upon to serve them. It was only ‘by skillful cam- paigning that they were influenced to support the Republican. candidate and thus place a Dernocratic district in the Republican column by a shand- some majority. "MME.

It is highly encouraging to note here and there throughout this country numerous instances where colored Americans are banding themselves and their dollars together and establishing business enterprises that will not only bring profit and increased respect for our race, but also will give permanent employment to our own boys and girls. only encouraging to note here and there the numerous instances where colored Americans and their dollars together and establishing it will not only bring profit and increase it also will give permanent employment to them. The recent Washington riot, regrettable as it were learned by both races. Although the "RESTRUCTIVE" program, the colored people and the necessity and value of cooperation in the notion of doubt the ability of colored American self-defense. The recent war has all seems, along with others, the benefit and purpose of colored citizens of the District of Columbia, work so effectively in carrying out their programs, now, in the time of peace, their energy and should work with equivocal lines, in the building up and maintenance enterprises. It has been seen on the front page of this issue of "The Cooperative business enterprise, known as the Merchandising Company," is now being led by colored men and women under the Columbia, with a capital stock of $20,000 of $10 each, par value. The object of the jointly purchase, equip and operate a large Maryland near the District of Columbia, has been selected and a deposit made there, the production and sale of vegetables, fries, cows, sheep, lard, milk, butter, meat, and bringing them to the Washington market and stores, or the company's stores, directly to stock owners, thus eliminating the middleman and the consumer. Growing and preserving department will be commanded by stockholders, and a store or stores, like they will be operated by colored Americans, with the thus furnishing employment to our board. We will begin to profit immediately in the per cent discount allowed on all purchases of the company's market stands or stores, and they will dividend from the profits of the farm. Worthy or sensible enterprise could possibly people, especially at this time; certain ease of practical success in its effort to reestablish of living. The company is being promoted men and women, whose character, prudentness capacity inspire confidence and be certain. We-loving colored American in Washington want to this enterprise and immediately subsumes of the company's stock. The Washingtonindsors this sensible project and has some stock, for we believe that if Negroes movement and make this enterprise a distinct will prove that Negroes can and will hold man one, and will pave the way for the need for needed business enterprises among our Columbia and elsewhere. Many will establish during the summer vacations the farm where, under competent instructions will be taught poultry and stock raising, etc. They will be guests of the corporation to work a few hours each day, all of which to spend their vacation pleasantly and put their homes after the vacation season back in benefited. With our own bank, managed by colored men, department houses, our thirty or more other racial business ventures, the Capital Company deserves the loyal support of the District of Columbia. Fill out the advertisement on first page) and send it pride by deeds and not by words only to reduce the high cost of living. During the recent Washington riot, regrettable as it was, many useful lessons were learned by both races. Although that was necessarily a "DESTRUCTIVE" program, the colored people as never before realized the necessity and value of cooperation, and showed beyond question of doubt the ability of colored Americans to hold together in racial self-defense. The recent war has also taught colored Americans, along with others, the benefit and power of unity of effort. If the colored citizens of the District of Columbia could unite so well and work so effectively in carrying out these necessarily "destructive" programs, now, in the time of peace, they should transform their energy and should work with equal zeal along "constructive" lines, in the building up and maintenance of worthy colored business enterprises. As will be seen on the front page of this issue of The Washington Bee, a cooperative business enterprise, known as the "Capital Farming and Merchandising Company," is now being organized and incorporated by colored men and women under the laws of the District of Columbia, with a capital stock of $20,000, divided into 2,000 shares of $10 each, par value. The object of this enterprise is to immediately purchase, equip and operate a large farm of about 100 acres in Maryland near the District of Columbia (the site already having been selected and a deposit made thereon), and to engage in the production and sale of vegetables, fruits, poultry, eggs, hogs, cows, sheep, lard, milk, butter, meat, meat products, etc., and to bring them to the Washington market and sell them, at market stands, or the company's stores, directly to stockholders and other customers, thus eliminating the middleman and dealing directly with the consumer. A canning and preserving department will be conducted by the women stockholders, and a store or stores, like the "Old Dutch Market," will be operated by colored Americans, with colored people's money, thus furnishing employment to our boys and girls. Stockholders will begin to profit immediately in the shape of a special 10 per cent discount allowed on all purchases made by them at the company's market stands or stores, and they will also receive an annual dividend from the profits of the farm. No more worthy or sensible enterprise could possibly be started among our people, especially at this time; certainly none gives greater promise of practical success in its effort to reduce the present high cost of living. The company is being promoted by a set of substantial men and women, whose character, practical experience and business capacity inspire confidence and bespeak success for this concern. Every race-loving colored American in Washington should lend active support to this enterprise and immediately subscribe for one or more shares of the company's stock. The Washington Bee unhesitatingly indorses this sensible project and has already subscribed for some stock, for we believe that if Negroes hold together in such a movement and make this enterprise a distinct cooperative success, it will prove that Negroes can and will hold together in more ways than one, and will pave the way for the establishment of many other needed business enterprises among our race in the District of Columbia and elsewhere. The company will establish during the summer vacation a training camp at the farm where, under competent instructors, school boys and girls will be taught poultry and stock raising, the rudiments of farming, etc. They will be guests of the corporation, only being required to work a few hours each day, all of which will enable them to spend their vacation pleasantly and profitably, and return to their homes after the vacation season both physically and mentally benefited. Along with our own bank, managed by colored men and women, our colored apartment houses, our thirty or more colored drug stores and other racial business ventures, the Capital Farming and Merchandising Company deserves the loyal support of all the colored citizens of the District of Columbia. Fill out the subscription blank (see advertisement on first page) and send it in at once. Show your race pride by deeds and not by words only, and at the same time help reduce the high cost of living.

The only colored people in this community who are tainted with that distemper are those who are too white to be black and too black to be white—that class of colored people who wear veils at night and powder white in the daytime. There are a few of this class in the public schools. So far as the masses of the people are concerned, they are perfectly satisfied with their color. The lily white individual is causing more trouble in this direction than any other class of people. The intelligent colored citizens are satisfied with their color.

Three hundred members of the association occupied the center of the church, with the members of the church and their friends. The church was taxed to its full ca. pacity. It was a great treat to the association to hear one of the ablest sermons by the pastor, Rev. J. L. Holloman, to which the order has ever listened. The pastor held the vast audience spellbound. After several solos by members of the choir, a collection was lifted and the members presented the church $50. ATTACKED WILLBANKS. Rev. W. H.

LAW VIOLATED Editor of The Bee: I wish to congratulate you on your very plain, earnest and strong editorial on "Jim-Crow Barbarism." When we think of how faithful and true we've endeavored to be to this our beloved country, for it is just as much the black man's country as it is the white man's, the best we can say of our white brother is that he has treated us dirty! In many places we surpassed the whites in buying Liberty Bonds. We shared equally the hardships on the battle fields to uphold the honor of the Stars and Stripes; under which we are dishonored. The great Secretary McAdoo was loud in his praise of the various colored institutions giving their thousands to aid the country's cause for freedom and democracy. He pictured the colored citizens as standing shoulder to shoulder with the best in the land; and yet he deliberately refused to "cut out" the jim-crow dirty cars in which his unjust Southern brethren force our people to ride, when a signed signed from him would have put "Jimmy" out of his dirty business. But McAdoo is a Georgian, and he doubtless felt, when asked by the colored race to remove the jim-crow cars, that it is too hard to kick against the pricks. He shifted his excuse on States' rights. And I ask here if the Government can ignore States' rights and halt the sale of whisky and is now making what seems to be a sham effort to curb the high price boosters of food, the thing which lies at the bottom of all the disturbances in this country, why cannot it ignore States' rights and give the colored people, its most loyal citizens, what they pay for—a first-class fare for a first-class price? The refusal of such justice toward the colored race is certainly what you called it, Mr. Editor—"Jim-Crow Barbarism." Again, I ask, what right have the All the objectionable features of the ordinary raincoat are eliminated from this practical new garment.

If they will run these damnable cars in the South, they should not be allowed to cross the Potomac River and poke up their devilish heads in the shadow of the dome of the Nation's Capitol and under the nose of the Goddess of Liberty (and democracy!). These detestable, filthy cars do not only run into the Union Station, just a few squares from the Nation's Capitol, but they are allowed also to run up Fourteenth street northwest, right in sight, if you please, of the White House. Now, in view of all this injustice toward the colored citizens of this country, where is the man or woman whose eyes have been opened enough to observe any change for the better since the war was fought and won for liberty and democracy? Is there one? For our part, we are like the poor fellow who went to the mourners' bench at a great camp meeting. While this particular brother was engaged in earnest prayer, the preacher went to him and exclaimed, "My brother, do you feel any change?" The poor, penitent sinner, knowing that preachers' hands are always itching for money, felt in his pocket and said, "No, parson, not a d—— cent!" So after the great struggle for liberty and democracy, if there be any change, save for the worse, we, as a race, haven't felt a d—— bit of it. See here, Mr. Editor, would it not be a good idea for the race to wake up and start the fight in Congress to forbid the further running of these jim-crow cars on what should be the "hallowed ground" of the Nation's Capital, in Washington? These cursed cars should be made to stop on the west side of the Potomac River. Colored voters in the States should make this demand on the Senators and Representatives who seek their votes. Mash the head of this damnable hissing viper and the tail will surely die! Voters, think on these things. J. C. Cunningham. Services Sunday and Wednesday evenings, 8 p. m. All welcome. Mme.

Cooper Speaks—The Great Bank President Sends The Bee an Article Which It Calls On All Patriotic Citizens to Read. United States Savings Bank Fourteenth and U Streets N. W. Washington, D. C. November 7, 1919. Mr. W. Calvin Chase. Eidtor of The Bee. Dear Sir:I most heartily approve of the words of Judge Andrew J. Cobb, of Georgia, upon the (subject of lynching, as shown by the inclosed clipped from the Manufacturers' Record of Baltimore. You can well afford to reproduce the words of Judge Cobb with approving comment. Murder Is Murder, Whether Committed by an Individual, a Mob, or a Labor Union Agent. Murder is murder, and should be punished, whether committed by a mob which lynches a criminal, or by a labor union member or agent who kills an independent labor man in order to prevent his working. Lynch law lynches the law. The man who joins in a lynching party is individually a murderer in the sight of God, and should be regarded as a murderer in his own community and by the law, which should punish him just as vigorously as though he had individually committed the crime of murder. The union labor man who, with hatred in his heart, kills or seeks to kill the independent or non-union labor man merely because the latter wants to assert his right to work, is a murderer; and should by the community in which he lives be regarded as a murderer, and by the law punished as a murderer. There is no other basis on which civilization can live than to punish the murderer; whether it is the individual murderer who sneaks down a back alley and waylays and kills an innocent man in order to commit robbery or one who breaks into a house and kills its inhabitants in order to rob; or whether it is the member of a lynching party, too cowardly to commit murder individually, but gloating over being in the mob that help to murder; or whether it be the union --- Store open 9 A! M. to 10 P.M. DIAMONDS HIRING A SPECIALTY abor man who murders because he seeks to keep other people from doing the work which the world needs. All are black-hearted murderers. All are criminals. They not only murder the individual, but, worse than that, they murder civilization. When criminals are saved from punishment by the power of political influence, which keeps the lynching mob from being hanged, or when the union labor murderer is saved from the gallows because of the power of his organization, the murder of all law and all civilization is the outcome. Disguise it as men may, try to apologize for it as besotted men—besotted in mind and body, besotted by reason of drink which makes them irresponsible, or by a moral degradation of mind which makes them unable to see the hideousness of the crime they have committed, there can be no possible justification for murder. Infinitely greater than the murder of the individual man by the sneak in the back alley is the murder by the labor union man, upheld by his organization, or the murder by a mob of some criminal, however guilty the criminal, may be. The murder of a single man or woman by a black-hearted fiend is a crime of an individual against an individual and against the law, but if the law punishes the criminal it upholds its own sovereignty. The murder by a lynching mob of a criminal, or the murder of an independent labor man by a union organization, however, is far greater in its influence for evil, for it is organized murder, organized for the purpose of overriding all law, and in doing so it murders the law and murders State sovereignty. The time has come when in this country it is necessary to speak with exceeding plainness and to drive home into the consciousness of men and women everywhere the accursed work of the criminal lynching mob or the criminal union labor mob. Judge Andrew J. Cobb of Clark County, Georgia, has spoken with exceeding clearness on this subject of lynching. In his charge to the county grand jury, a few days ago, he said: "What I have said has its application in every case of mob violence, it makes no difference whether the victim of the mob is guilty or innocent, or what crime he is charged with or may be guilty of, or what race he belonged to.' The death of a human being by a mob is murder, nothing less, 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."

"They will be conscious that they are despised by the true law-abiding people of the community in which they live and in every community in which a healthy public sentiment prevails. They will be condemned by themselves in their own reflections, and there is no hope to be held out for them for peace and rest of mind until their own miserable lives may come to an end, and thereafter their tortures may be greater than they are in this life where they live, conscious of the fact that they have sacrificed their own self-respect and lost the confidence and esteem of all those whose thought for them is worth having." Judge Cobb is entirely right in his denunciation of the criminals who gather together in a mob and lynch a victim, however guilty he may be. But the same denunciation must be with even greater force made of every individual and every mob which kills or seeks to kill an independent laborer because he demands the right to work untrammeled by labor unions. This man is murdered not for any crime, but because of his determination to be a free and independent American citizen. Unspeakably vile as is the crime committed by a mob which lynchres a criminal, the killing of an independent workman by a union labor man in order to keep him from working or to deter others from work. is infinitely viler, and public opinion and the courts of the land must take cognizance of this situation.

' Defense of John R. Shillady. « i Editor of The Bee; ‘ 5 | Is history, the old, slave-time his ; tory, about to repeat itself? It cer- tainly: does look that way. During the: dark days -of human ‘slavery: ¢ {Northern gentleman and lady going jSouth in-comnpany with their colore ‘hired. servant did so at the risk o jbeing insult@d and probably tarrec and feathered. And the cowardly at tack made upon that great and good man, Mr. John R, Shillady, by Judge Pickle, a constable and ‘other lawless barbarians of ‘Austin, Téx., brings: to our mind the brutal’ attack made upon the Hon. Charles Suinner, Sen: ator from Massachusetts, away back in the never-to-be-forgotten days of cursed slavéry, by that giant. brute, Peston .$. Brooks, of Soutli Caro- lina,” - ‘ After. taking a great speech against human. slavery, in which he told, of the brutal treatment of the [staves in the South, and aiter the (Senate had adjourned for the day, Senator Sumuler> unsuspicious, sat calmly at his desk. Preston Brooks, a man of more than six fect.in stat- urg and of powerful sinew, stole, into’ the Senate chambers and,. with a gutta-perelia “bludgéon, an instru- ment of death, dealt blow after blow, with all tie energy’ of his herculean arm, upon the brow of the Senator, ‘Yaken all yimawares and stunned by this fearful, brutal onslaught, Mr, Sumner in” vain’ atteinpted to rise. Lut tie brutal Preston, Brooks dealt, without an instant's intermission, ‘thése crishing, lacerating, mangling blows, until the scalp was peeled from the bone, the brain was. para- ‘lyzed, and the blood, gushing from ‘his wounds, saturated his clothes and dripped in pools upon the floor, The poor Senator dropped senseless “and ‘apparently: lifeless from his ‘seat. And-the South gloried in that dirty shame as."gallant” and “chivalrous.” Slavecholding Senators rose’ int the Senate Chamber and awarded praise to Preston Brooks, the brute who had. temporarily turned the Senate Chamber into a ‘slaughterhouse, ‘The people of the slave-holding. States met in immense assetiblages, passed resolutions in honor of the cowardly act, and Nei Brooks to fetes and rewarded him with rich ‘services of plate, x 1 The Hon, Edwin D. Morgan, of: New York, who chanced to be’ in the, Senate Chamber, heard the terrific! blows in rapid suécession and ran to!

Did the South ‘approve off that brutal attack upof one of Mas- sachusetts’ most gifted sons? . Does she noes approve of lynching and burning ‘America’s most trusted, and loyal citizens? Let's see.. The Rich- mond Whig, of Virginia, commenting upon this transaction,-says: °° ° “It will be seen by telegraph that Mr, ‘Brooks, of South Carolina; after the -adjournment of the Senate: on yesterday, administered’ to. Senator Sumner, the notorious ;and foul-| mouthed abolitionist from Massachu- setts, an effectual caning. We are rejoiced at this.. The only regret we} fecl’is that Mr. Brooks did not em- sloy’a horsewhip or a cowhide upon iis ““slanderous back, instead of a], ane. We trust that the ‘ball’ may. ye kept in motion.

We. re-|, ret that he did so, not because Sum-| ¢, er got a lick. amiss, not because he], ‘as entitled ‘to. all he got and more esides, but because the nasty scamp| nd his co-scamrps will make capital], r their foul cause out of the affair.| ‘sum, headed by thé governor ‘of the State, ‘has beén subscribed: for” the ‘purpose of presenting Mr.. Brooks with a splendid silver pitcher, gob- tet and stick, which will be conveyed [to him ina’ few days by gentlemen |delegated for that purpose. “In Charleston similar testimonies’ have ‘been ordered by the friends of Mr. "Brooks. ' “We heard one of Carolina’s tru- ‘est and» most honored matrons from Mr. Brooks’ district say that the la- ‘dies of the South’ would send him hickory sticks with which to chastise ‘abolitionists and Black Republicans whenever he wanted them. Meetings of approval andysahction will be -held not only in Mi Brooks’ district but “througheut thegstate at ‘large, and a ‘general and afiifriendly response of ‘approval will giho. the. world’s “Well done!” from ‘Washington .to the- Rio Grande,” ete. #- _ oa We’ could .g0 on putting other newspapers off the days of slavery on the stand, %) show that the South liad always, hid a‘mania for lawless- ness. But bldssed is the white man who dares t{ stand up for justice toward the Golored race. And. the race will cherish no less-love for Mr. John: Rk. Shillady than it cherishes for Senator Sumner, William ‘Lloyd Garrison, John Brown and others: whose mantle. seems to have fallen upon these good white friends of the colored race.. We do not know thet a meeting has been called by a people of South Carolitia, to pre- sent the judge and his co-hoodlums a gold-headed -cane for their cow- ardly attack upon -Mr. Shillady, “but the doings’ of the - still . rebellious South prompts us to ask the» fair question, Is slave-time history about to répeat itself? ‘The’ colored citi-. zens, who, the world knows are the white’ man's best friends,“are being knocked, about and kicked like dogs for no other reason thin Gecause of the rapid. progress they have Ynadé since their emancipation. “Some say! We are hated: because of our color— because we are black. But that’s a foolish thought. ‘The white. people ike a black horse, a black suit of sléthes, a black automobile, a black log, and the poor creatures even ike to ‘drink milk: from a_ black ow and to cat eggs fresh from a slack hen’s nest; and why-'should the ight of their black brothers. be so rideous to them? . No; ‘tis not the olor they dislike; it's the progress he colored race is making; that’s all. It's a dirty shame that after, the olored people resporided: So ‘loyally o the cause of preserving the honor f the Stars and Stripes to make the ountry:safe to live in, they, have een treated with such thanks and ongratulations as that given them in he Nation’s Capital, Chicago and Knoxville, Tenn.

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.
