Education vs. Ignorance --- WHAT THE EDUCATED COLORED PEOPLE OF WASHINGTON HAVE DONE VOL. XL. NO. 28 Edu WHAT THE EDUC PEOPLE OF W HAVE The Bee this week is giving to its readers a few things that the educated colored men and women have done in this city in comparison with what the less fortunate have done for the benefit of the masses. This city has been the graveyard for colored banks, corporations and several other enterprises. There are over one hundred thousand colored people in this city, and the only classes that have started enterprises and failed have been the educated classes. A brief history of some of them will be edifying to the modern readers or those who have boasted of their education and asked for educated leadership. The Hyman brothers were very highly educated and attempted to and did establish a department store in the ten hundred block on the west side of Seventh street northwest. The Hyman brothers had everything that any other Tenth street store had. These boys were high figures in society, but society passed them by, and the store soon closed. A number of school teachers, including the late Miss Laura Dyson, attempted to establish a bonnet store in the eight hundred block on the east side of Fourteenth street northwest. It soon died. The next colored enterprise was a corporation store by the educated Baptist ministers. The store was established, and its failure to be supported caused it to go like the rest of the sink-money institutions. Banks. The Bee will pass the Freemen's Savings Bank, as its history is too well known by the nation as being an institution to suck the success in the more highly educated class of colored statesmen, orators, politicians, scholars and what not. They are still collecting the colored people's lost funds. Then came the Eureka Bank, with Attorney M. M. Holland president, and other highly cultured so-called educated colored men. It lived about six months. This bank was situated on D street between Sixth and Seventh streets northwest. The Capital Savings Bank consisted of all educated colored men, with but one exception, namely, Henry E. Baker, Whitfield McKinley, Douglass McCarry, Judge Robert H. Terrell, now municipal judge. Everybody knows what became of the Capital Savings Bank and the money of the depositors. Next there was a building association, with Henry E. Baker at its heard—a collector of patents, ex-student of West Point, now an expert clerk in the Patent Office. If you will ask Mr. Baker why he failed, perhaps he could tell you. Many persons went broke. Next several highly educated colored men took it into their heads that they wanted a theatre, as the white theatres had begun to segregate the colored people. Now, a white man came along and put it in the head of Mr. Pittman, son-in-law of the late Dr. Booker T. Washington, that he had a scheme to build a hundred thousand dollar theatre. The big and little colored educators organized a Lincoln Stock Company. About four or five thousand dollars was collected, and Mr. White Man got the best portion of that money. The theatre company failed, and the stockholders did get some of their money back after several years' watchful waiting. Every educated colored man in the city was connected with this theatre company. The great and only John C. was among the managers who had more sense than the others and whose advice was not respected. The poor people lost all faith in building associations, colored banks and all other things organized by colored people in the way of enter- --- The Washington See prises. The colored people began to look around for a Moses. None could be found. One cold, wintry day a little tramp entered the city with Coxey's Army. Nobody paid any attention to him. He could be seen carrying a hod and climbing buildings. All at once this hodcarrier was seen organizing a building association among the laboring people. It succeeded. Then he turned it into a realty company. Next he organized the Industrial Savings Bank. One day while he was dressed in overalls standing at the corner of Eleventh and U streets directing the digging of the foundations for his bank, a colored teacher passed on her way to the dentist. She said to the dentist that she passed the corner of Eleventh and U and there stood a little black man giving orders to the workmen. "He wants to impress the people that he is the boss." "Oh," said the dentist, "is that the man you're talking about? Why that man is president of that bank." With a surprised look, she said, "I must look at him." She took a second look, and today that school teacher is a depositor in the Industrial Bank. Mr. Lewis then took it into his head to erect a hotel. There was at one t.me in this town the Hotel Wormley and the Gray Hotel. In those days opportunities for running a successful hotel were better than they are now. The Wormley Hotel died with the late James Wormley. He was a man among men. He had but little education, but he was a man. The colored people wanted a theatre, after they got skinned, and every effort was made to try again. The cultured and so-called educated colored gentlemen would not make another attempt, so Rothanthal and Benedict erected a theater for the colored people, known as the Howard Theatre. A colored manager was brought to the city from Chicago, Ill., said to be the greatest colored theatre manager in the United States. The Howard failed. The beautiful playhouse was on the downward road until that little theatrical manipulator, unknown to the people, but a genius, and the manager of the theatre at 1216 U street, Andrew J. Thomas, took hold of Howard, and, with the assistance of Mr. R. G. Byers, made it a success; and today this great playhouse is known far and near. Mr. Byers is now the manager of the Hiawatha and Foraker. He is a man who can "get there." He has the happy faculty of winning people to him. Both the Foraker and the Hiawatha are among the leading picture houses in the city. Andrew J. Thomas and his brother, Lieut. Vincent Thomas, are making the Howard what other colored men could not. Next to come upon the scene was Mr. S. H. Dudley, a theatrical genius, who has a chain of theatres, including two of the best and most successful in this city. After the failure of all the department stores by the educated, Mr. Richard Ware, on his own responsibility—a native Washingtonian—has established one of the most successful department stores in this city. He is an F. F. V. in himself. He is the only successful manager of a department store in this city. THE MASTER MUSICIAN. The Master Musician is the name of a new publication edited by George Waldron Parvis, of Philadelphia, Pa. It is an up-to-date publication, well edited and its typographical make-up is number one. The Master Musician makes one mistake. It says, that John T. Gibson, of Philadelphia, is the greatest WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1919 theatrical manager in the world, to which The Bee takes exception. Andrew J. Thomas, of the Howard Theatre, is among the best theatrical managers in the United States, and there is also our own Mr. Byers. Then as a producer and all-around theatrical producer, actor and manager, S. H. Dudley, of the Mid-City and the Dudley U Street Theatres; is the greatest in the United States—Thomas the greatest manager, Byers an all-around manager and manipulator of theatrical acts, and Dudley the greatest all-around actor, producer and manager. The Master Musician must come again. The Bee welcomes the new-born baby to its sanctum; may it continue to grow. BESSIE POTTER ACQUITTED. Colored Girl, Charged with Robbery, Is Released After Stirring Appeals of Her Attorneys—Justice Gould Presides. Bessie Potter, colored, recently indicted by the grand jury for robbery, was acquitted of the charge on Monday last in Criminal Division No. 1 of the District Supreme Court, Justice Gould presiding. The case attracted unusual attention, owing to the fact that the girl had jumped her bond and was arrested by Detective Beckley only after diligent search and inquiry. Attorneys Harry L. Tignor and Fred D. McIntosh made effective arguments to the jury in behalf of their client. Assistant United States District Attorney Paul Cromline prosecuted the case. HOW LONG, O GOD! American Prejudice Rampant-Colored Girls Discharged to Make Room for the More Fortunate Efforts of John W. Lewis Complimented-The Race Riot Report- Rev. Jernagin Called On. Editor of The Bee: As the sun of 1919 is setting yonder behind the western hills, and as we all must bid farewell to this old year, which has been pregnant with troubles, trials and tribulations for the colored race, we should resolve to turn over a new leaf to hail the incoming of the new year—1920. In other words, we should swear off! Not swear off merely from strong drink, for that has been taken from those who tarried long with the whisky bottle, but swear off from licking the white man's feet in order to get or to hold jobs in his places of business. Swear off from being beggars when we have the opportunities to be known in the business world as well as any other peoples. Now, because women are to be paid not less than $16.50 a week in the restaurants, stores and other places of public business, the colored girls, who have stood by these places in order to do their bit during the great war, have been discharged in order to give those places to the white girls. See? When we think of this damnable, hideous prejudice monster we say to ourselves: "O God! When shall this unjust persecution of the colored race end?" But a voice whispers to us, saying: "The colored race's hands are not tied! It can open a way for its girls and boys, just as other races do. Only organize, trust in God, and put your little money together and start a great chain of stores instead of trying to buy up all of the churches in this country in order to support the thousands of Negro preachers who (some of them) ought to be in the penitentiary this very day!" Our people mean to do good. All that's needed are true and honest leaders. We want more of such leaders as Mr. J. Whitelaw Lewis, who has led the way and built the finest hotel for our race in this country. This is a real, sure-enough hotel! And when I say hotel, I don't mean any "bedhouse." I mean a place where ladies and gentlemen may go without fear of the place being raided by the cops. Then, too, there is the great steamship company inaugurated in New York, is know as "The Black Star Line," by Mr. Marcus Garvey. This ship, which is the first of its kind in the world, is now on the high seas. Thank God for such leaders as Mr. J. Whitelaw Lewis and Mr. Marcus Garvey! This shows what we can and will do with the proper leaders, and neither one of these leaders, be it remembered, is a selfish "breacher." And we are reminded here of that great (?) leader, W. H. Jernagin, who is the founder of the so-called National Race Congress. Whenever the Rev. Jernagin sees a good chance to call upon the race for a "liberal collection" to help some deserving members of the race, he's Johnny-on-the-Spot. The people have been waiting and watching for Bro. Jernagin to make a report of that money given him (the Race Congress) during the so-called race riot here. It appears that none of the unfortunate deserving men and women have been given any aid by this leader, who sprung up all of a sudden among us, and the people who responded to his earnest appeal for money—in the neighborhood of $3,000—are very anxious, indeed, to hear from this preacher-leader. It is said that if a bird can sing and won't sing, there's a way to make him sing, etc. As much as we despise this curse discrimination, segregation and jim crowism we sometimes believe them to be the only way to drive the colored people to become a race which will command world-wide respect The leading stores here have discharged our girls off the elevators and wrappers, etc. Among these stores that dismissed all of these girls are the Palais Royal, Woodward & Lothrop, Kann's Sons & Co. Hahn's, Goldenburgs, Garlinke and others who think $16.50 a week is too much for colored girls. Now, if the colored people had any sense at all, they would all shun these stores, unless no other store had what they want. I intended to try, by the help of God, to buy bot my dear wife and myself a pair of shoes for Christmas, but before I'd buy from any one of these stores I'd walk all the way to Alexandria, Va., or go over to Anacostia, or both of us—my wife and myself—will do without shoes and go barefooted. I'll not buy of them. But Mr. J. Whitelaw Lewis, here in Washington, and Mr. Marcus Garvey, in New York, have demonstrated to the world and shown their race that there's a way to sidestep this damnable discrimination. One has given the race a steamship! Now, there's another great leader among us who is working night and day to start a great department store here, where our young men and women may find much employment when they come out of school. This great leader along this line is none other than Mr. Charles E. Lane, having for his secretary Mr. W. H. Holman. Now, don't stand and laugh and say it can't be done, for such was said when Mr. Lewis started the hotel and Mr. Garvey started the plan to give the race a steamship; but, men and women of the race, we beg you, in God's name, to fall in line and subscribe stock, and it will only be a question of a very short time before our people will be summoned to come and witness the grand opening of a great store. Meetings of this great movement are being held at the Y. W. C. A. Recreation Center, 1636 Fourteenth street northwest, every week. Go and take some stock and let's be somebody! The writer has studied out a way to kill the jim-crow cars in the South, which he will make known in a subsequent letter. "This is a new world," says Judge Terrell. And I say we should wake up and see it with new eyes! Duty and self-respect call upon you, me, members of the race, to help ourselves! Awake! Awake! Put on thy strength and answer the call! Swear off from being kicked about. Swear off from being discriminated against and strive to be a race that's worth while. NATIONAL COMMITTEE MEET. The National Republican Committee met in the parlors of the Willard Hotel last Wednesday morning. The saddest spectacle to behold was the assembly of Southern colored politicians, who had to introduce themselves to the members of the National Republican Committee. No one seemed to know them. Among the would-be colored leaders were Henry Lincoln Johnson, of Atlanta, Ga., and his best man, Editor Ben Davis; Ernest W. Lyons, Jim Cobb, of this city; Emmett J. Scott, Robert Church, of Memphis, Tenn.; Gilchrist Stewart, of New York; the editor of the Baltimore Daily Herald and Judson W. Lyons, formerly National Committeeman from Augusta, Ga., and many more. There was not a colored man on the National Committee. Three-fourths of the Republican votes South were cast by colored Republicans, and it was an easy matter to have named one of their number for National Committeeman. The State of Georgia, where three-fourths of the delegates were colored, with Henry Lincoln Johnson at the head, is represented by a white Republican organization. These saphead Southern Republican politicians who claim to have some sense ought to remain South. THE DEVIL'S HOLIDAY. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People today made public a telegram to Governor Hugh M. Dorsey of Georgia, calling the governor's attention to the lynching of a Negro near Macon, Ga.. on Sunday night and asking for an investigation of the lynching and the punishment of the lynchers. The telegram, given below, calls attention to the fact that this makes the seventy-fourth lynching in the United States since January 1, and the twentieth in Georgia. The telegram reads: "December 3, 1919. "Hon. Hugh M. Dorsey, "The seventy-fourth lynching in America since January 1, and the twentieth in Georgia, occurred near Macon, Ga., according to press dispatches, on Sunday night, when a Negro was put to death for wounding a farmer, who will recover. As a signer of the Address to the Nation, appealing to loyal Americans to stamp out mob violence and disregard of all law and order and as one who has shown himself to be against lynching, may we not appeal to you to use your official and personal powers to investigate this lynching and show lynchers that they cannot murder American citizens with impunity? . "James Weldon Johnson, "Field Secretary." Mrs. J. B. Spence, of 5649 Grove avenue, Chicago, is visiting her son and daughter-in-law, Dr. and Mrs. Edw. F.

Editor of The Bee: It is very strange how you try to knock the Blue Birds through your columns. But, strange to say, they are not dead yet; they still live, and you or none of your kind will ever be able to pronounce the death sentence. You are only angry because you are not noticed by them. If you were, you would die from the shock. What matters it to you whether they are natural blue or not? Suppose the Blue Birds do like white company? We don't see any Negro asking for charcoal to powder their faces with. Why don't you be square with your knock and name the white company you refer to? Remember, people don't have to go out of existence because you knock them. Blue Birds are in the lead, and Black Birds will never take their place. [The Editor is able to go where the Blue Birds dare not enter. The great trouble with the Blue Birds is, they prefer the company of whites because the genuine colored Americans don't want them. Blue Birds are like the organization of the sissies—in a class by themselves. The longer they remain to themselves the sooner they will rot. The people have nothing for the Blue Birds to do but to continue with their white company after dark. The highbrows prefer to come out in the open. If the writer will sign his name to the foregoing, perhaps the Editor may be able to give him some valuable information—Editor.] J. B. H. AARON BRADSHAW Chairman of the District Republican Central Committee, under whose supervision the local election will be held. The oldest republican chairman in the United States. Prof. Kelly Miller will address the Bethel Literary and Historical Association Tuesday Evening, December 16, on The Negro in the New Order. ANTIOCH BAPTIST. The last communion in this year took place at Antioch Baptist Church, Rev. Peter Ailes, pastor, last Sunday evening. Rev. Hamilton Bowser delivered the sermon, assisted by Rev. Simmons and others. The singing by the choir and the congregation was very sweet. Everybody present seemed to appreciate the occasion, as it was the last communion to be held this year. HOWARD THEATRE. Beginning with New Year, all seats for the supper show will be reserved. Manager Vincent Thomas, who has displayed great ability in managing this great playhouse, will add four more new instruments to his orchestra. The Howard orchestra will be the greatest in the United States. DR. SHEPARD. Dr. J. E: Shepard, of Durham, N. C., passed through this city en route for his home. Dr. Shepard has been touring the North with Judge, Pritchard. --- Educated people are supposed to have good sense and give other people who have not as much book learning credit of having same. It is not the man who has his brains filled and stuffed full of books that has the most sense. Of course, I was amused at Calvin's editorial last week, and I must confess that it was one of the most sensible I have ever read. Speaking of Charles M. Thomas, he has been walking the streets of Washington for a number of years with his head hung down and apparently with very little in it. The man who thinks Charles M. Thomas hasn't anything in his head but brains is very much mistaken. One thing certain that came out of his brains was the fact that the colored race was in need of educated leaders. Admitting that the race is in need of educated leaders, what else is the race in need of? Educated leaders have never suggested but one thing and that was how to seek office, wreck banks and building associations and give social functions with a segregated and discriminating association. There is only one thing the educated leaders have ever done that has startled Washington. Now, let's see: A band of educators got together a year or so ago and invited Prof. Moens to their houses and then allowed themselves to be hoodwinked into believing that they were entertaining a scientist. The so-called educators were DuBois, Kelly Miller, Henry E. Baker and a few other hot members of colored society. Now, if you will ask this bunch what Moens taught them, or the public, what do you suppose they would say? As long as Kelly Miller has been writing, and the number of books he and DuBois have written, to what extent have the people of this country been benefited? Kelly has been on the Detroit 33 H Street, N. E. Phone: Main. 1055. THE HOME OF THE RED CA Porters' Association of th THE PULLMAN PORTERS Which is known to open places in the District of croit St, N.

Prof. DuBois, one time a national character, is now a soldier without a fortune. * * * What the race really needs are men with common sense; builders of houses, manufacturers, inventors and men who can help the masses, and not social flunkers, who have done nothing but give social parties to display their dresses, their straightened curls and their dewdads. All Washington doesn't belong to this class of individuals. We have some sensible people in this town. Now, take Rev. J. W. Waldron, for instance. He patronizes the white barber shop at the Union Station. He used to be shaved on U street. He is a great race man, and he can go where other colored people with darker skins cannot go. Just why Dr. Waldron prefers the white barber shop to his own is his own business. I suppose he is tired of the association of the people with whom he has been mingling for a number of years. He is the great factor in the Parents' League and pastor of Shiloh Baptist Church. His associates are colored people, his supporters are colored people, gut now he has another idea. Dr. Waldron has been trying to teach his people how to command the respect of the white people. Now, if the members of the Shiloh Baptist Church should attempt to call his hand, he would show them a thing or two. He left the Baptist Ministers' Conference and took one-third of the membership with him. Perhaps this one-third will be seen going to the Union Station barber shop shortly, and then the occupation of the distinguished pastor will soon be gone. The last Baptist Ministers' Conference that was called by Dr. Jernagin two weeks ago has gone into oblivion. Dr. Willbanks will show a thing or two after his return to t Cafe Arthur G.

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 Quonasoap, a soap made entirely of pure vegetable oils.

Holly in the window, turkey in the oven, presents weighting down the glittering tree, Christmas cheer in the air! Can't you make room for one more guest in your Christmas heart—especially if it happens to be a little child whose eyes are big and lonesome, and whose little body looks as if it had been hungry for a good long time? For just 10 cents you can feed the hungry stomach of, such a child on Christmas Day. For $3 you can care for it for the whole of the Christmas month, and if you can dig down in your Christmas pocketbook and pull out $36.50, all in one lump, you can be godparent to a little boy or girl for a whole year, being put in touch with it through correspondence. What kind of a child? Well, what do you think about a little ten-year-old boy who for three years worked every day from sunup to sundown, sawing up branches of trees for fuel? He must support one crippled leg with a huge stone while he works; One end of a huge crosscut saw was pressed against his tiny chest, the other braced against the ground, as with outstretched arms he drew toward him the branches which were to make fuel and earn 40 cents a week for himself and an old grandfather. Or how about a little six-year-old girl who, when the Germans carried away every boy baby from her town, was thrown to the pavement by a burly German when she proved to be a girl? She is permanently crippled. Her mother was taken away by the Germans; her father was killed in the war. These are just two of the 3,000,000 French orphans of the war. They are being taken care of now, but thousands of others are without help or friendship. All are fatherless, many have lost their mothers, either taken away by the Germans or dead from exposure, privations, or in the bombardments.

Every cent contributed for a child goes directly to it. Not one penny is used either in this country or in France for any other purpose; the expenses of the work are borne by generous friends. Can't you add one of these children to your Christmas list? Not only the money but your friendship will mean to such a child a new belief in the Providence of God, a new love and thankfulness, and will help to wipe out the memories of horror and suffering and the 'unthinkable atrocities which these children have witnessed. To become a "godparent" to a child, or to make a Christmas donation, write to Mrs. Walter S. Brewster, chairman of the special campaign committee of this organization, who will mail a booklet of translated letters from some of the little children already helped to anyone who will send a stamped, self-addressed envelope of business size to her at Room 928, 410 South Michigan avenue, Chicago, Ill.

War Camp Club went "over the top" last Saturday night at a smoker and supper. Soldiers and sailors from Fort Myer (10th Cavalry), Camp Meigs, Washington Barracks, Navy Yard, Walter Reed, Naval and Mt. Alto (Naval annex) Hospitals, together with ex-service men from all over the city, were there. Tickets for supper were given out to 510 men who had seen service somewhere. Just about Thanksgiving Judge Advocate Robert I. Miller, of the President's Own Garrison, Nb. 104, Army and Navy Union, signified through a fried to Mrs. Julia M. Layton his desire to give the soldier boys of our city a smoker and supper, and asked if Mrs. Layton would make all the arrangements at his expense. She readily consented. The immense crowd, supper, etc., were the results of Mrs. Layton's efforts. A very pleasing but short program was rendered. Capt. Arthur C. Newman acted as master of ceremonies, and there were solos by Miss Virginia Williams, Lieut. Lomack and Sergt. Keyes. Miss. Brooks accompanied the singers. Sergt. Keyes and others led the audience in several old war songs. The boys made the welkin ring with their sweet voices. Mrs. Layton introduced the host of the evening. Attorney R. I. Miller responded. Others on the program were Capt. West, Hamilton, Sergt. Higginbottom (Washington Barracks), Capt. Slaughter, Attorney Harry Clarke, Capt. Mitchell, correspondent of Washington Herald; Mr. F. D. Lee, National Memorial Association; Mr. J. B. Ramisey, Special Assistant of War Camp Club Work and in charge of Club No. 3; Mr. Frank Wells, director of Club No. 4, southwest; Mr. John Howard No. 4, southwest. Mr. John Howard was also present and occupied a seat on the platform. After the smoker a sumptuous supper was served. The Red Circle Girls of War Times were present and served the boys: Misses V. Chase, M. Scott, P. E. B. Alexander, Z. Wooding, W. Brown, E. Murry, V. Williams, F. Brooks, C. Stewart, assisted by Dr. Crews and Mrs. A. E. Waddleton, of the Housing Bureau, Messrs. Amos, Howe and Leir, of the Club staff. The hall was beautifully decorated, and Old Glory could be seen everywhere. FALLS CHURCH GLEANINGS. Mrs. Fanny Thomas is confined to her home on account of sickness. The Christmas exercises of the Baptist Sunday School will be held at the church Friday evening, December 26, at 7:30 sharp. All are welcome. Mrs. Adline Stewart has returned to her home after having spent several days with relatives in Washington. grandson, who spent the Thanksgiving holiday with her brother, Rev.

Mrs. Capsie Tinner, who has been visiting her relatives in Maryland, returned to her home last Wednesday. *** Mrs. Emma Scott held an oyster supper at her residence last Wednesday night in the interest of the building fund of the Sons and Daughters of Liberty. *** Keep the date in mind—Monday, December 22. The place—Methodist Church. The occasion—School concert. The regular monthly meeting of the Fairfax Branch was held in Falls Church on Tuesday, December 2, at the Galloway Church. Routine business, with reports from officers and committees, was the order. Secretary Henderson reported the progress made in connection with the attempt to bring to justice the young men who threw stones at the colored girls on one of the Washington-Virginia railroad cars. The branch voted $10 to the fund to be used in helping prevent the legal lynching of the twelve, convicted and sentenced colored men in Arkansas. Quite a discussion arose regarding the total failure of both national parties to favor the Madden bill, which would have been one step towards democracy at home for Negroes. A committee will look into the new labor party and see what the platform offers the Negro, who is the big labor asset in the South. Steps are being taken to form a post of the American Legion among the colored soldiers who took part in the late war. The Fairfax Branch is fostering the movement. The Amphions and Doc Perry's Jardin Orchestra afford enough pleasure for one evening. Don't forget the date, December 16 at Dunbar High. The American people are beginning to see the evil effects of the League of Nations; Europe all up in the air; this country mixed up in various ways not satisfactory to the people. It can well be seen that we don't want a League of Nations (what we want is a strong League of Americans—white and black) to save the United States for Americans. One of the evolutions of Prohibition in the District of Columbia is a new drink designated Jump-Steady. It produces a great jag, but in the end it results in blindness and death. The American Legion (S. C. Branch) bars the Ex-Soldier of color from membership. Washington Council, Knights Kodosh, A. H. S. R., held an interesting session at the Cathedral of the Rite, Nineteenth street northwest, last Wednesday. Much business of importance to the Rite was transacted.

C., DECEMBER 13,1919 - a FS A WASHINGTON DAILY. . We have suggested the importance of having a daily colored papet' established “in this city at once. There are more than one hundred. thousand ‘colored people in this city, who ought to support a daily paper. The-white pres takes but ‘very little interest in colored news and doings among thé. colored: masses. The Bee is of _the opinion that there are thousands of good white business “men of every nationality who will readily support a.colored daily. “fo this end The Bee will begin to’ organize a stock company and give the’colored people an opportunity to support a colored daily. In our next issue The Bee will begin the organization of a newspaper stock company for the publication of a daily.” We .want every patriotic\colored citizen to rally to our support: . ‘The Bee, as you all know, is the only successful weekly that has stood the te§t, and it is therefore the purpose of the manage- ment of this publication’ to start a movement for a.colored daily. x > « @RIMINAL SHAM. = ‘There have recently. been more crimes of every chardcter com- whitted: in this city than ever. before in the criminal history. ‘The prohibitienists have déclared that the elimination. of whiskey and the abolishing of ‘saloons in this city would lessen crime. This declaration by the, prohibitionists is‘a criminal sham. Thieves are hard to apprehend ‘because there are ino ‘saloons. Crimes com- mitted by desperadoes were easily discovered and the perpetrators more easily) apprehended’ in the saloons. No female is safe to walk the streets alone. Thugs are running at large. Instead of having race congresses, we should- organize a national race protec: tive association. Instead of running down prohibition violators we ‘should devote our time to the apprehension of thieves. More colored police should be ‘appointed on the force... The Police De "partment should have more colored plain-clothes men, who cat more ‘casily apprehend these violators than. white men in -uniform Rather than appoint colored men on the force we allow the people’: property to: be confiscated by thieves and blacklégs. . The Bee stil insists on having every idler, white-and black, picked up and ‘put. t work. Every idler should -be made to give an account of himself and on his failure to do so he should be sent to the “farm.” THAT REPORT . ® - The Bee insists on a full report of the moneys collected by the National Race Congress for the defense of those unfortunate men who defended. their race during thé Jate race riot, The Bee has been informed.that no lawyer’ has been paid otit-of thé funds col- lected by tliis congress for' the defense of those who -were. arrested. This report the people demand should be.published and every cent accounted for. . a . The numerous holdups of citizens by. colored ‘thugs 1s a menace , to the good colored citizens in this city. It is the.duty of all good citizens to apprehend, if possible, every thug who may be guilty of these outrages. “These holdups. seem to be the nefarious:‘work’ of young colored men who have no respect for law and order, and they are tending to throw great reflection upon innocent colored tnen who are in to way responsible for them. - It is a shame and'a dis- gracé'to thé city.. It is dangerous for any respectable female to be upon ‘the streets alone. Some law should be enactéd to make every citizen register the character of his vocation. Many. of ‘the pool- rooms,seem to-harbor these thugs, and if we’had a registration law, The Bée is of.the opinion that these bandits would be apprehended. There-are too-many idlers at latge. When a man, white or black, has no legitimate occupation, he sliould be placed. under arrest and sent to the farm. The holdups that have been perpetrated within the last few weeks have been fearful and something ought to be done to stop them. -@ oe % . : The Bee would suggest that every respectable citizen be given police authority, aiid The Bee further suggsts that more colored men be appointed on the: police force. Give us more colored men at headquarters. is . mS : : If the Police Department is too narrow and: prejudiced to ‘appoint colored men, let us have a colored police precinct, and then you will be convinced that these -holdups will cease.. fos Try. it, Major Pullman. ‘ aie ATTORNEY A.
