Protest To Pres. Wilson VOL. XL. NO. 27 Prot RACE PREJUDICE LIAR PROTEST JIM CROWING The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth avenue, New York, today made public an emphatic protest sent to President Wilson against race segregation in the Congressional Library in Washington. The protest asserts that colored people have been excluded from the public restaurant of the Library and that colored employees have been segregated in the lunch room. "We desire most emphatically to protest," says the letter to President Wilson, "against the policy adopted by those in charge of the Congressional Library of denying to colored employees facilities which should be maintained for the use of all, and to the colored people of Washington and of the country in general the use of the restaurant maintained by Federal taxes for the general public." The letter is signed by James Weldon Johnson, Field Secretary of the Association. A. GREAT COLORED TOWN. (Special Correspondence to The Bee.) Boley, Oklahoma, November 30, 1919. This is a Negro city of about three thousand people. It is the center of a farming section, is on a railroad line and its people are intelligent, wealthy and progressive. From a casual observation, one would conclude that the three thousand Negroes of Boley have approximately as many business enterprises as the hundred thousand Negroes of the National Capital. Among the enterprises of Boley is a bank with $250,000 in deposits, an electric plant, water works, two drug stores, theater, garage, cleaning establishments, general merchandise stores, shoe and clothing stores, many cafes, barber shops, etc., all these despite the fact that this town is only sixteen years old. There are eight churches. The school is well equipped with eleven teachers and modern appliances. What is here has grown out of Negro hearts, brains and brawn. The Hon. David Turner, Mayor of Boley, president of the bank and owner of one of the drug stores, says the job of mayor of a country town is one of the busiest places on earth, since the people all bring their troubles to him. But he has grown fat in the office. It is quite a romantic experience to be in an American city and to find all the officials and all the merchants, as well as all the laborers, of the colored race. It is a fine illustration as well as proof of the capacity of the Negroes for self government. The city postoffice is a very busy place. The postmaster and his assistants are all very colored. The most imposing building is the Masonic Temple, which is about four times the size of that on Virginia avenue in Washington. There is no liquor and the city judge has little to do. During the past week Boley has entertained the State Teachers' Association of Oklahoma, which brought together about two hundred and forty delegates. Welcome addresses were made by the mayor and Prof. Hargrove, superintendent of schools. They were pitched in a high tone of optimism. Responses were made by a number of the noted educators, after which President J. Oscar Spencer delivered his annual address. The work of this association is well organized into departments and the exhibition of the local schools was brilliant. An important feature of the sessions was the address of Prof. J. M. Marquess, president of the State Agricultural and Normal University, Langston, Okla. Prof. J. Wilson Petus, of the same institution, was elected president for the ensuing year. Louis G. Gregory, of Washington, D. C., a traveling Bahai teacher, addressed two sessions of the State --- The Washington Bee Teachers' Association, sending the message of peace, harmony co-operation throughout the State. THE ALPHA PHI ALPHA. Cleveland, O., Dec. 1.—The Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, eldest organization in existence and the only international collegiate institution of colored men in the world, is completing its plans for the greatest general convention that it has ever held. This gathering will be its twelfth annual assemblage and will take place in the city of Chicago under the auspices of Theta Chapter, two sessions being held daily from December 27 to 31 inclusive. The evenings during the convention will be given over to entertainments, informal and formal receptions and an annual banquet. About fifty regularly accredited delegates will be in attendance, representing chapters located at the largest and most famous universities of the country, such as: Yale, Cornell, Howard, Lincoln, Michigan, and Atlanta. In addition, there will be visiting delegates from all over the world that will bring the attendance over the 100 mark and possibly over 200. A general call has been issued from the secretary's headquarters at Washington, D. C., to Alpha Phi Alpha men everywhere to make a special effort to attend this convention, particularly because the deliberations involved will be along the lines of reconstruction, and will entail decisions of a very momentous nature bearing upon fraternity activities: The Wabash Branch Y. M. C. A., 3763 Wabash avenue, has been selected as temporary headquarters for the convention. The business sessions of the convention will be under the leadership of the following general officers: Daqiel D. Fowler, Cleveland, general president; Lucius Lee McGhee, secretary; S. S. Booder, treasurer, and Carl J. Murphy, editor of The Spinx, both from Baltimore. The large open meeting to which the public is invited, will be held on the afternoon of Sunday, December 28. at the Wendell Phillips High School auditorium. The principal speaker will be the Hon. Emmett J. Scott, former special assistant to the Secretary of War. His subject will be "The Advent of the Negro Into Big Business." The National Negro Business League will be guests of honor. The corner stone laying and Thanksgiving demonstration on November 27 was an affair worthy of the occasion. The ceremony was conducted by the Most Worshipful Grand Master, Dr. John Payne Turner, and the Grand Officers of the District of Columbia, assisted by the Grand Lodge of the State of Maryland, the Grand Officers of the States of Pennsylvania, Delaware, New York and Virginia. In the afternoon an elaborate reception was tendered all visitors, and in the evening they repaired to the spacious Lyric Theater, where all were tendered a royal entertainment. Most Worshipful Grand Master Joseph P. Evans and his assistants did things in "Maryland Style" and the hospitality of Maryland people can never be forgotten. That Corinthian lodge is awake to progressiveness and will be satisfied with nothing that is not a credit, both to tiself and the craft in general, was demonstrated by their almost perfect exemplification of the entered apprentice degree on last Thursday evening. With the able assistance of our good friend and brother, Rev. Frank A. Hearn, if they don't win the Jewel they will win their "well done thou good and faithful servant." J. C. Fountain, of Corinthian lodge, is improving slowly at his home in Florida avenue. *** Corinthian lodge recently added fourteen master Masons to her already creditable roll. The present officers bespeak for this lodge not only a continuation of the high standard of excellency already set, but warrant even a surpassing of them. HONOR GRIMKE'S 70 YEARS Chas. Edward Russell and Walter Brooks Speak. The District of Columbia Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People will hold a public meeting next Wednesday night, the 10th, at Third Baptist Church, Fifth and Que streets northwest, in honor of its president, Archibald H. Grimke. The meeting, which will be opened at 8:15 o'clock, will be addressed by two speakers, Charles Edward Russell, the eminent Socialist orator, editor and author, and Dr. Walter H. Brooks, pastor of the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church. Mr. Russell, who is a member of the national board of directors of the N. Ar. A. C. P., is the author of a remarkably outspoken article on the present status of the Negro question which appeared in Reconstruction Magazine for September. Both he and Dr. Brooks have been friends and associates of Mr. Grimke for a number of years, and their presence at this meeting, which celebrates the fact that he has reached the age of seventy years, is considered a very appropriate circumstance. BETHEL LITERARY. Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois will speak Tuesday evening, December 9, before the Bethel Literary and Historical Association. Subject: "Social Democracy"; place, Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, on M street, between Fifteenth and Sixteenth streets northwest. The program will begin at 8 o'clock. Dr. Kelly Miller will speak Tuesday evening, December 16.

COLORED PRESS THREATENED The colored press in the United States has been threatened with a boycott if it published that a white man has been appointed distributing agent of Madame Walker's hair preparations. The Bee was the first paper to publish this fact, and so far as The Bee is concerned, it never carried and has never desired to How to Make Your Money Make Money What YOU can do AT ONCE to reduce the high cost of living Colored People are learning the necessity and value of cooperation A Cooperative Enterprise known as the Capital Farming and Merchandising Company, Inc. is now being organized and incorporated by colored men and women under the laws of the District of Columbia (2) THE OBJECT OF THIS ENTERPRISE is to immediately purchase, equip and operate one or more large farms in Maryland, near the District of Columbia, and TO ENGAGE IN THE PRODUCTION AND SALE OF VEGETABLES, FRUITS, POULTRY, EGGS, HOGS, COWS, SHEEP, LARD, MILK, BUTTER, MEAT, MEAT PRODUCTS, ETC., ETC., AND TO BRING THEM TO THE WASHINGTON MARKET AND SELL AT RETAIL PRICES DIRECTLY TO STOCKHOLDERS AND OTHER CUSTOMERS, thus eliminating the middleman and dealing directly with the consumer.

One of the greatest preparations in the United States and strictly a race enterprise is the Poro College Corporation, of St. Louis. MADAME PATTI BROWN. Madame Patti Brown, the world's greatest singer, left for Cuba last week. She declined to sing at Mt. Carmel Baptist Church, as advertised, for reasons justifiable. The people's money had to be returned. Arrangements are being made to give Madame Patti a royal reception on her return from Cuba. While here she was the guest of Dr. Plummer, president of the Colored Druggists' Association. BETHEL LITERARY. Charles M. Thomas, of tfhe Armstrong High School, read a paper before the Bethel Literary Society last Tuesday evening. Among other things, he said that the colored race was in need of educated colored leaders and that the race was suffering because it didn't have them. HOWARD THEATRE "The Silent Witness is being played at the Howard Theatre this week. The plot is well laid, and the principals acquitted themselves well. Andrew Bishop and Miss Cleo Desmond as usual played. The only blunder made was by Bud Morgan. Lionel Monogas, in the last act, when the audience had been raised to a high degree of sympathy, spoiled the effect by laughing, which the audience readily joined in, when the act called for the most profound sympathy. On the whole, the play was good. *** Fine pictures and vaudeville are being presented at the Mid-City and Dudley Theatres. *** The Hiawatha had a record-breaking crowd Wednesday and Thursday matinees and evenings at the presentation of "The Fall of Babylon."

COLUMBIA LODGE OF ELKS. Three Candidates in the Field—A Lively Time. Columbia Lodge of Elks, No. 85, held an election of officers last Monday night. It was a lively meeting. There were three candidates in the field, E. G. Bundy, W. N. Dixon and Maxwell. The contest was lively for a time, and the result was as follows: Bundy, 137; Dixon, 292, and Maxwell, none; he was put out of the hall. There certainly was some election in Elkdom last Monday night. Exalted Ruler Bundy, the tall Ajax of Elkdom, had them all guessing. Of course, the happiest man in town is Grand Exalted Ruler A. W. Scott, but Bundy had Maxwell, who imagined that he was running, put out of the hall. It was the "outs" trying to get in, and I bet you one pint of peanuts to the jump of a grasshopper that the recent victors will be seeking Bundy ere long. It takes just such a man as Bundy to control and manage such a set of men as there are in No. 85. Dixon, the successful candidate, has a hard road to travel. Already plans have been laid to have an investigating committee, and I would advise Exalted Ruler Dixon to go slow and not allow himself to be used for others who may have grievances. Some say that Bundy was too dictatorial. That may be true, and you can just bet that Dixon will be given the jabs before many moons. Those who attended the banquet, or the dinner, to McMichens last Sunday committed a great sin. From the church they went to the banquet, where one biscuit and a slice of tongue were served for $1 per, and many failed to scent the smoke from the kitchen. There is some cursing in Elkdom. Why, they would readily have given $1 to Jolly, of the Whitelaw, for his 75-cent dinner. Speaking of the Whitelaw, John W. Lewis has not been exalted by any individual of former days. He is the only "itty" in town, no matter if one individual failed to subscribe for the testimonial to John W. There were hundreds who would have been very anxious to subscribe had they been asked. He is the only man in this city who has been able to consolidate the masses in doing something substantial. Detroi 33 H Street, N. E. Phone: Main 1055.

He just attends to his business and says nothing. He has been sawing wood all by himself. I beg pardon, he has a wife who has been in the limelight for a while, and don't say that she doesn't know her business. Some few days ago Attorney Harry L. Tignore was suddenly taken ill because he saw Dr. Sumner Holmes, Judge Robert H. Terrell and Attorney C. S. Williams coming to his house. No one knew the cause of this sudden illness until Attorney Williams let the cat out of the bag. The Judge and the Doctor were disappointed. They heard that Harry had captured a few "shorties" and didn't know what to do with them. Hence they called to explain how to operate them. Harry knew that both were experts in the operation of these individuals and he deemed it best to get in bed with his boots on and sent his son to the door, who informed these intruders that his father was too ill to be seen. That didn't deter them, so they called the next day to explain, but Harry had already been informed by Charlie Williams, who is willing to explain. Harry has decided to join the matrimonial alliance. His application is on file, and in a few days, probably next year, he wil more fully explain. His application will be acted upon by a committee that has always been opposed to the organization. There is no man in this city better acquainted with the "ins" and "outs" of the matrimonial alliance than Harry L. Tignore. Lawyer Thomas L. Jones is authority. By the way, Tom has written a book, entitled "Authority on Matrimonial Alliances." Morris Murray will be a joiner also. I understand. Morris declares that he must have a companion—his size.

Station and one-half block from 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 Seehy'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 pencade; 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 Seeby Drug Co., 14 'Wooster street. New York City. Quinade and Quinasoap are sold at all of the People's' Drug Stores. PEOPLE'S DRUG STORES. Store No. 1, 7th and Kt Sts. N. W Store No. 2, 7th and E Sts. N.

Since this: city is.the law-making city for all of these United States, it also should be a shining example of moral, social, political, and ecoriomic. phi- losophy.

Here in the District of, Columbia we Have a population estimated tobe 400,000; of this-number 125,000 are Negroes. The housing situation is inadequate, wages law and: working conditions very. poor —in some places they are.deplorable— especially where Negroes are em- ployed. We hear’so much prating and bickering from: employers who claim’ they are doing \their. utmost to alleviate. the conditiols of toil. Let us sce what is being done*in this di- rection in Washington.

Dr. Willbanks is just attending to his own business, while those disgruntled Baptists are doing nothing but increasing his popularity. A comparison of records will convince anybody that Dr. Willbanks has the better of the game. EDUCATION VS. IGNORANCE. The assertion that the colored race was leaders was the declaration of Charles M. Petterary last Tuesday evening. This was what could have fallen from the lips of anyone. Mr. Thomas will point out to The Bee colored man has done in this city that he masses. The Bee will inform him what is Lewis, the man who had only three men selected a $100,000 hotel. If Mr. Thomas is in the records of the educated colored man, that they have been a menace to the confluence of the masses. The educated colored brother, from the ninth not to the contrary, in this city, no building associations and one or two records with unlettered colored men educated colored man in this city has done to the poor colored people out of their time one thing that he has done since the circumference of the earth?

He has a moral, menace. From this date will compare Prof. Thomas with John W. Lewis' ignorance—the old—the only man who has made a contribution succeed. The assertion that the colored race was in need of more educated leaders was the declaration of Charles M. Thomas before the Bethel Literary last Tuesday evening. This was the most insane assertion that could have fallen from the lips of anybody with a grain of sense. If Mr. Thomas will point out to The Bee one act that an educated colored man has done in this city that has been a benefit to the masses, The Bee will inform him what is in the mind of John W. Lewis, the man who had only three months schooling, but who erected a $100,000 hotel. If Mr. Thomas will take the time to hunt up the records of the educated colored man in this city, he will find that they have been a menace to the commercial and business advancement of the masses. The educated colored brother, from the time the memory of man runneth not to the contrary, in this city has wrecked two banks, two building associations and one or two corporations. Compare his record with unlettered colored men and you will see that the educated colored man in this city has done nothing but scheme to rob the poor colored people out of their money. Will Mr. Thomas name one thing that he has done since he has been able to tell the circumference of the earth? Mr. Thomas has been given the credit of being able to tell what is in a man's brain and tell his thoughts while asleep, and yet Mr. Thomas is only a school teacher, and if he were to resign his job, undoubtedly he would have to be sent to a charity hospital. The only colored hotel that has ever been erected in this city was built by a man with only three months' schooling, and he is regarded as the greatest colored financier in the United States—John W. Lewis. The so-called educated colored man in this city has been a menace to society, as the records will show. He has been not only a financial, but a moral, menace. The Bee from this date will compare Prof. Thomas' intelligence and education with John W. Lewis' ignorance—the man who erected a $100,000 hotel—the only man who has made a colored bank and a building association succeed. Lewis and Thomas! Let us reflect! A NATIONAL BLUFF.

One time entire control of both branchates Supreme Court and the presiden americans suffered and the "jim crow" time has come for the colored Americ act accordingly. and jim-crow car bill that was introduced lives by Mr. Madden was nothing more colored voters in this country must the empathizers a lesson. The Republican and-go-seek long enough. The Republican control of both branches of Congress Court and the presidency, and offered and the "jim crow" South welcome for the colored American to think ugly. The alleged jim-crow car bill that was introduced in the House of Representatives by Mr. Madden was nothing more than a national bluff. The colored voters in this country must teach these sham Republican sympathizers a lesson. The Republican party has been playing hide-and-go-seek long enough. The Republican party had at one time entire control of both branches of Congress, the United States Supreme Court and the presidency, and then the colored Americans suffered and the "jim crow" South was in full blast. The time has come for the colored American to think for himself and to act accordingly. The jim-crow car is a disgrace to modern civilization. There seems to be no redress to the oppressed colored American, no matter how loyal and patriotic he may be to the country whose Constitution he fights to uphold and whose flag he carries. If this country is ever involved in another foreign war the black man will be drafted and placed in the thickest of the fight. Be as it may, the black has learned some sense since the last war, and it will be found out if he continues to be oppressed by the enemies of this country. The German Kaiser would be given better consideration than the native-born colored American if this country brought him here. He would be lionized, and after a basket full of sham preliminaries he would be returned to Germany as a hero. This country can do more bluffing, so far as colored Americans are concerned, than any other country in the world. HOTEL NEWS. By R. DeReef Miller. Two more new hotels have been opened recently for colored people, in one of which The Bee has a personal interest here in the city—the Whitelaw Apartment Hotel—which has been the talk of the town, and hundreds of citizens took advantage of the opportunity of visiting during the opening week and thousands will visit there in the months to come, to cooperate with President John W. Lewis and his excellent staff. We are glad to say that our colored hotel here in Washington is being conducted under the same departmental system that America's leading hotels adopted years ago, and will stand the test of any hotel experts who might make a visit to this new hostelry. Special credit should be given the dining room and culinary departments; upon these two rests the success and achievement of most hotels. The cuisine and service is excellent. A very polite crew of waiters is in the dining room, while waitresses are employed in the grotto. The other hotel for colored people which recently opened under colored capital is the New Rose's Hotel, 246 to 250 West 135th street, New York City, in the heart of Harlem. Mr. J. W. Rose, one of the most popular colored men in New York City, is the proprietor. Three hundred of New York's most fashionable citizens and visitors to the big city attended the opening banquet, which was served in the main dining room. The New Rose employs thirty colored men and women. W. B. Page is head waiter and Mrs. L. Washington is housekeeper. A complete report of the stag dinner given by the New Ebbitt Waiters' Association at the new Whitelaw Apartment Hotel Thursday evening will appear in The Bee next week. The officials of the association are making great plans for the Christmas ball, which takes place at Odd Fellows' Hall December 24. Mr. T. L. Snapp has returned to his duties at the New Ebbitt, after spending several weeks with his family in New York City.

The organization is the oldest lodge here and among its members have been and are some of the oldest inhabitants. The program consisted of recitations, solos, choruses and short speeches, after which a delightful supper was served. To Mrs. Betty Brent went the prize of a gold ring for having sold the largest number of tickets. The sum amounting to over $50. Several sister lodges were in attendance. Miss Emma Reed, an old acquaintance of Mrs. Jenny Miller, presented the latter with a ticket to the Lamb Slaughtering Thanksgiving night: Mrs. Susie Campbell gave an interesting talk on character at the Girls' Culture Club last Wednesday afternoon at the School House. Mrs. Campbell said, in part, that they may acquire ever so much education, but without a good character the education was worth but little. The girls seemed to enjoy the club very much, and much good, it is thought, will come from it. The waitresses for the afternoon were Misses Helen Danny, Rebecca Dixon and Gertrude Gerham. Don't forget the School Concert Monday, December 22. Make no other engagement. Rev. Castleman, rector of the Old Falls Church, Episcopal, spoke to the Mothers' Council Sunday night at the Baptist Church.

Know that the Lord devides his Saints From all the tribes of men beside; He hears the cries of penitents For the sake of dear Christ that died. The Lord will hear when I call unto him... Stand in awe, and sin not commune with your own heart upon the bed and be still. Psa., 4:3:4. The peace of God which passeth all understanding shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Phil., 4:7. O Lord, the pilot's part perform, And guide and guard me through the storm. Defend me from each threatening ill, Control the waves; say "Peace, be still." Now the Lord of peace give you peace himself, always by all means. The Lord be with you. 2 Thess., 3:16. The eyes of the Lord are over the righteous and his cars are open unto their prayers. 1 Pet., 3:12. My God if thou art mine indeed, Then I have all my heart can crave, A present help in time of need, Still kind to hear and strong to save. But the face of the Lord is against them that do evil. 1 Pet. 3:12. God is not a man that he should lie, nor the son of a man that he should repent; hath he said, and shall he not do? or hath he spoken and shall he not make it good? Num., 23:19. His very word of grace is strong As that which built the spies, The voice which rolls the stars along. Speaks all the promises. Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. Matt., 24:35. Wednesday, December 3: That whosoever believeth in him (the son of man) should not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:15. Sinners, believe the Saviour's word, Trust in his mighty name and live. A thousand joys his lips afford, His hands a tlhousand blessings give. He that believeth on him is not condemned, but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten son of God. John, 13:18.

Thursday, December 4: Unto the upright there arises light in the darkness. Psa. 112:4. His soul well fixed upon the Lord. Draws heavenly courage from His words. Amidst the darkness light shall rise, To cheer his heart and bless his eyes. Surely he shall not be moved forever, the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance. Psa., 112:6. Friday, December 5: They that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars forever and forever. Dan., 12:3. Reflecting beams of truth and love From Christ their Sun Divine. Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their father. Matt., 13:23. Who Has Made a Record. Thomas Frazier, the well-known embalmer and funeral director, who operated his business under the firm name of Frazier and Bundy, which has been dissolved, and who is regarded as one of the most competent embalmers and funeral directors in the city, makes the announcement that he is prepared to respond to all calls, whenever his services are needed. 1920 Mrs. M. L. Wilson, the very competent assistant to Mr. Frazier, has returned to duty after a brief spell of indisposition, and she is one of the most competent female attendants in the city. Mrs. Wilson has assisted in embalming some remarkable cases. This firm has the reputation of making bad cases look as natural as life. Mr. Frazier, who is a graduate embalmer, received his degree from the Chicago University, one of the leading colleges, in the United States. His recommendations are from many of the leading citizens of Washington.
