Radicals PROF. WOODSON WRITES TO A SENATOR FOR HELP. RADICALS DENOUCED VOL. XL. NO. 34 PROF. WOODSON TO A SENATOR RADIO OPPOSED TO RADICALS. What Does Prof. Woodson Mean?— Is He Double Dealing?—His Letter Explains Itself. At a recent meeting held by the Negro Academy, Prof. Carter G. Woodson declared that radical utterances of the editor of The Messenger made him a prophet. The applause given this utterance was ten minutes in duration. Below is a letter written by Prof. Carter G. Woodson and addressed to a United States, Senator which explains itself. The Bee will not disclose the name of this Senator at this time. "Washington, D. C.. "January 10, 1920. "We are of the impression that you may be interested in assisting us in promoting the study of Negro life and history, a work undertaken five years ago to apply science to the solution of the race problem, the greatest question now before the American people. The method employed is to interpret the Negro to the white man by inculcating an appreciation of the achievements of the despised race rather than leave this task to the hot-headed radicals who are interested in self-aggrandizement through agitation and politics. To reach this end the association has established the Journal of Negro History and publishes from time to time other scientific works in the field. Appealing to a small circle of thinking people, however, this movement must depend for its support on philanthropists who assist scientific enterprises. Are you willing, then, to help us raise the $20,000 annually required to promote this long-neglected work? "I have sent you a copy of the last number of the Journal of the Negro History. and am enclosing herewith a pamphlet in which you will find our recent financial report and budget, giving information as to our plans and procedure. On comparing our publication with those of other scientific organizations, you will observe that we are doing a serious work of a scientific nature and at much less expense than usual. Should you find these facts inadequate, however, kindly call on me for further information. "Earnestly hoping that you may give this appeal sympathetic consideration, I am, "Yours very truly, C. G. Woodson COLORED WOMEN STRONG FOR SENATOR WADSWORTH The Women's Republican League, headed by its chairman, Mrs. M. L. Gray, had a very pleasant interview with Senator Wadsworth last Tuesday. Mrs. Norris, the secretary, acted as spokeswoman, and among other things, said: "We come to assure you, Senator, that we are Republicans, and intend to support our party's nominee. If you are a candidate for renomination we will do all we can to secure you that nomination, and if successful, all we can to elect you. We know your stand on woman's suffrage, but believe that you acted conscientiously, but as your views did not obtain, we know that as a good party man you will do all you can to make our efforts and our desires a success." Senator Wadsworth thanked the ladies for their kindness and assured them that he would do, all he could to help them; that they must use their ballots intelligently and be voters at all elections. He said that he still was in doubt as to how a woman could take care of home and mix in politics, but as they must have it, he hoped they would regard it as a sacred gift of a great republic. Mrs. Gray, Mrs. Norris and Miss Essie Jackson formed the committee. The Washington Bee THE·MASON RESOLUTION. Dr. M. M. Madden, before the Judiciary Committee Thursday, January 15th, advocated the passage of the Mason joint resolution. Dr. Madden indorsed Mr. Mason's resolution with necessary correction, and when Dr. Madden got through placing his objections to the Mason resolution about one-fourth of the resolution was cut out. Dr. Madden told the committee that he would indorse the Mason resolution which provides for an investigation of racial conditions in the United States. No country has the race question to contend with that the United States has, and no people has the same thing to complain of that the Negro has. Dr. Madden did not introduce his bill to the committee for the purpose of taking action upon his bill from the very fact that Dr. Madden knew that his bill and resolution was not a question to come before the Judiciary Committee, but it was a question to come before the Committee of Freign Affairs in the House and Foreign Relation of the Senate. So Dr. Madden informed the committee that he had a bill that would be before the House in the near future that would recommend a Bureau of Freedmen Affairs in the United States for the purpose of furnishing financial aid and other assistance that might be necessary for establishing a state between the United States and Mexico; part within Mexico and part within the United States, which would necessitate an investigation which would come under the scope of Mr. Mason's resolution. Dr. Madden held the committee and the spectators spellbound for one hour. The committee has the resolution under advisement and will make a bill of it in the near future and bring it before the House. The hearing will be out in five or six days. They will be mailed to the people all over the United States. Then the people of the United States that do not know will have a chance to learn just what material Dr. Madden is made of. The next week's issue of The Bed will give you a decision of the committee. DR. M. M. MADDEN PHILOSO PHIZES. Dr. Madden informed the readers of The Bee in the last week's issue of what they would have to stand for for all time to come and what they would have to ask for. Dr. Madden says that the Negro FOURTEEN—Bee has more to ask for than any other people in the world and is asking for less. In the first place, the Negro is not in shape to ask for anything. Every people in the United States is represented here with the exception of the Negro. Five big Indians represent the Five Civilized Tribes, and a big Mexican represents Mexico, and a big Chinaman represents China, a big Japanese represents Japan. Just as other nations have given their vitality to this country, there is a man to represent that people. I do not see a Negro here anywhere outside of a janitor, and every law that is made in this country is made as an act of Congress, and if you have no one here to prepare a bill and present it to Congress to act on, tell me how could you hope to get legislation. Is it not true that there is a certain per cent of every man's business that absolutely belongs to him. There is no one going to take care of the abligation of your home but you. There is a certain per cent of every race business that absolutely belongs to them, and any time that you think that another race will take up the interest of your race and foster it before this government you have overlooked your hand. There is a law tree sitting in the center of this gov- WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, JANUARY 24, 1920 ernment that was set by George Washington, representing a straight pole frm earth's sorrow to heaven's joy, that meant equal rights to all men, and every time that Congress has met and legislated since the death of George Washington they have not set another pole—they only make amendment and attach it on, which represents another limb on the law tree. And just as many times as Congress has met and legislated since the death of George Washington there is just that many limbs on the law tree today. There goes a limb out for every Indian by tribe, Polish and Slavish, Hungary. Town incorporations, railroad incorporations, oil trusts, tea trusts, everything that is operated in the United States, is made mention of on the law tree, with the exception of he 11,000,000 Negroes in the United States. They are not made mention of on the law tree they are living under, and every effort they have ever made to take care of themselves in this government only stronger demonstrates the fact to the American Government that they are not capable of self-government. You have been sending delegates to Washington ever since you have been a free people. You have no business sending a delegation where you have not representation. You have no one here to send a man to or a set of men to. They will come here and give that bill to someone they do not know, who is just as apt to be a janitor as anybody else, and the white man will never show your mistake. You must find your own mistake to be able to profit from the same. He and see that it is headed with some will look at the heading of that bill little auxiliary, possibly church or fraternal. However, it is an individual affair, and does not mean the race. Any man or any set of men representing 11,000,000 Negroes should be an authorized indignation of the Negro people all over the United States. When the day comes that you voice yourselves in one sentiment, let one man's voice be the sentiment of the race. You will not only attract the attention of this government, but any other government under the sun. You will get anything that you will ask for that is right, fair and just. Justice and equal justice is the greatest interest of man on earth. There is no virtue so truly great and God-like. Truth is its handmate, freedom is its child, peace is its companion, safety walks in its steps, victory follows in its train. It is the highest imagination of the Gospel. It is an attribute of God to know the wisdom of ages—that great truth of all time and of all people—that truth that rules when our forefathers walked the Valley of the Nile and saw that sun with all of its golden splendor rising out of the desert in long ages before the dawn of history—that truth that still prevails and ever will prevail. But to gain justice for ourselves we must be just to others. Clothed in that armor of right and justice, all things are possible. The next week's issue of The Bee will tell its readers what to ask for. To keep track of this movement keep your eyes on The Bee. REFLECTIONS OF "ROVER." The Republicans have refused so far to forbid jimcrow cars in interstate passenger traffic; they have refused to lift the ban against colored people in the House and Senate restaurants; a separate eating place has been provided for colored employees of the Library of Congress, and colored people are denied refreshment in the public restaurant of the Library of Congress. So far, neither the Senate nor the House, both being Republican, has passed pending resolutions relating to riots in Washington, Chicago, Omaha and Longview, although a Democratic House did investigate the East St. Louis massacre. The Republicans have shown no disposition to challenge segregation in the departments in Washington. If the Republican party, or any leader of the first magnitude thereof, has Denounced any policy as to the Negro that is in any respect different from that pursued by Democrats, nobody knows, anything about it. In a recent issue of the Cleveland Gazette, Neval Thomas assailed Judge Robert H. Terrell with great bitterness on the ground of a lack of aggressiveness on the part of the Judge in advocating race aspirations. It is just a little hard to understand why "Nev" singled the Judge out for such a sound and unmerciful thrashing. The Judge is in no respect different in his public attitude toward certain vital questions from other office holders, whether white or colored. Office holders are, by the very nature of their positions, essentially conservative, and conservatism is peculiarly the stronghold of a judge, whether of an inferior or a superior court. Judges do not make laws or customs; they administer them. Judges are not expected to engage in public controversies and agitations: They do not even make partisan political speeches, nor are they expected to. To engage in the rough and tumble conflicts of controversial divisions would be inconsistent with the character of one who is to hold the balances between opposing litigants. It is safe to say, and every one knows it, that Judge Terrell wants every right that Neval Thomas does, and that he believes that the race ought to claim these rights. The attitude which "Nev" denounces in the judge is the attitude of most Negroes who hold office, or hope to hold office. Among so great a crowd, made up of men and women of the Judge's type of mind, why single him out for public castigation? There was a hearing last week before a Senate subcommittee on the resolution of Senator Curtis of Kansas to investigate the late riots and lynchings. Quite a number of gentlemen came from a distance to appear before the subcommittee: John R. Shillady and James W. Johnson of the N. A. A. C. P., Mr. Bratton, a white lawyer from Arkansas, Rev. Mr. Robinson, who was exiled from ChatTWELVE—Bee... anooga, and others. Senator Dillingham was the only member of the subcommittee who heard all the testimony presented. Senator Walsh of Montana stayed long enough to hear one white man testify, and then left. A strange this which Senator Curtis did was to read into the record an article on the propaganda of the I. W. W., among Negroes, and the next morning the Associated Press featured this to the exclusion of the real grievances of the Negro. Everyone is asking why Senator Curtis linked up the two questions. There certainly is no real connection between them. As things now look, there is no real reason why a Negro should vote the Republican ticket in preference to the Democratic ticket this fall. The two parties are not apart on his question. A Northern Democrat looks as good as a Northern Republican, and a Southern white Republican looks at a Negro the same way as a Southern white Democrat. Of course, there is the Labor Party, with its platform of equal civil, political and industrial rights for Negroes, but the Labor Party has not yet functioned. Now is the time for all Negroes with brains and character to come to the aid of the race. One thing is certain—the old lien Negro politician is a misfit and can be of no service at this juncture: Rover. MADAM WALKER MFG. CO. He Denies the Charges of the Colored Druggists' Association and the Letters of Secretary Harris-He Does Not Want to Discuss the Issue. Dear Sir, This is to acknowledge receipt of papers which you sent me upon re- quest for same, and I notice articles published in your issues of November 22nd, December 6th, and January 10th, all of which were unfair and without foundation. However, I have no desire to enter into any controversy in this matter, the only thing that I was and am concerned about is that you will not be laboring under false impressions. When Madam Walker, because of the great pressure brought upon her, decided to place her goods in drug stores, in keeping with her well known policy, she sought to make colored drug stores the exclusive distributors of such goods, and in company with Dr. Huff, a druggist of Chicago, and upon his advice, I went to Philadelphia and placed the matter before the National Medical Association at that time in convention assembled. This was a national body and we, of course, had no way of knowing that certain local organizations were not affiliated with the National Body. As stated before, the National Body did not accept our proposition and there was nothing to do but to use the next medium of distribution that offered itself. You state that no colored druggist was asked to take these goods, neither was any white druggist asked, but not only were white druggists from all sections of the country asking for this privilege, but scores of them sent personal representatives to our main office here insisting that such privilege be given them. It would be a long story to tell how our goods first found their way into drug stores, but I will say here, however, that the policy of this Company is to reach our people thru its qualified agents, who are all women of our Race and that shall always be the policy of the Company. In the issue of December 6th, you stated among other things that you did not carry our advertising and did not care to do so since the colored manager had been removed and white manager appointed. I have been manager of this Company for the last eight years. If I have ever been removed or my position abridged or in the least changed in that time, I am frank to confess that I know absolutely nothing about it. You further state in your issue of December 6th that the Colored Press had been threatened. I am sure that you cannot produce a statement from a single colored paper thrush America, not even your own, showing that they have at any time been threatened as to printing any matter with reference to The Madam C. J. Walker Mfg. Company. I note what you say about Poro preparations and I have nothing to say against this, one of our most successful Race enterprises, but it is at least amusing to note your contrast this Company with The Madam C. J. Walker Mfg. Company as a Race enterprise, when Madam C. J. Walker not only employed colored labor for every building she has erected and every other service of any kind that she has rendered, but at her death left two-thirds of her vast business for all times to and for the benefit of worthy Race institutions. If she had to do any more than this to prove that she is a Race Woman I confess I do not know what it is. As for Kiefer-Stewart Company, they are our wholesale drug distributors of this section and the very time I went before the Philadelphia Convention, we were refusing to enter into any kind of an agreement with Kiefer-Stewart Company. This does not mean exclusiveness as to our retail drug trade or does it in any way affect our agents or in any way curtail the rights of The Madam C. J. Walker Mfg. Company as the company deals directly with all of its customers. I have written you at length because somehow I cannot persuade myself to believe that you are seeking other than the truth, your articles to the contrary, notwithstanding. Hoping you and your paper a prosperous and successful New Year, Respectfully, F. B. Ransom, Mgr. and Atty. Madam C. J. Walker Mfg. Company. Mr. Edward L. Harris, 1759 L. Street N. W. Mr. Evans of this office informed me that you had had some correspondence from a man representing himself to be connected with this company as manager or in some such capacity. As there is no white man connected with this company whatsoever other than agents who handle our goods on the same terms as any other agent, I am just a little anxious to know as to your correspondent and would appreciate any information you may be in position to give me. By the way, I am advised that some of the colored druggists of your city feel that the Madam C. J. Walker Manufacturing Company has not dealt fairly with them. This is surprising, as I personally went before the National Medical Association at Philadelphia in 1917 and stated to them that Madam C. J. Walker was receiving all kinds of offers from white druggists, both wholesale and retail, who wished to handle her preparations, as well as some threats; as she had up to that date consistently refused to place her goods in the drug stores. I stated further that Madam Walker, being a race woman, would give colored drug stores of every city exclusive rights as to the handling of her preparations if they so desired. Dr. Bird, of Norfolk, president of the association, duly referred me to the proper representatives of the druggists. The matter was up before the druggists in convention assembled. After much debate and discussion, it was turned down flatly. There was nothing else for Madam Walker to do but to place her goods through white druggists. There were some in that convention whose names I could call who had vision enough to see the great opportunity offered them and did all that they could to get the convention to accept the proposition. Among those active in its defeat was a Dr. Coleman of your city. My impression is that this Dr. Coleman is a lady. You may know her. If you will take the pains to get in touch with those who were present at that convention, which convened in Philadelphia in August of 1917, you can verify the truth of the above statements. I think you are entitled to this explanation. Respectfully, (Signed) F. B. Ransom. BIBLE CLASS. The Bible Class of Metropolitan A. M. E.

The "Societe Francaise" of Howard University gave a "Soiree de Gala" Friday evening, December 19, in honor of His Excellency M. L'Ambassadeur Jusserand. The reception was held in Carnegie Library on the University campus. The occasion was one of particular moment. Almost at the last moment, however, the Ambassador himself found it impossible to attend on account of diplomatic duties, but M. Henri was present to represent His Excellency and the French Embassy. The reception was honored by the presence of M. Monravia, Minister from Haiti; the Minister from Uruguay, and a representative of the Ecuador Legation. In the absence of the president of the University, Ex-Chief Justice Stanton J. Peele, president of the Board of Trustees of Howard University, addressed words of welcome to the gentlemen from foreign countries, emphasizing the fact that the doors of Howard University are open to students of color from any country. M. Henri, in greeting the society, expressed the great gratitude of France for the part that the American Negro played in the World War. He stated that Ambassador Jusserand personally observed American Negro soldiers in actual combat in the St. Mihiel sector, and that he had indicated unfeigned admiration and commendation for the splendid fighting qualities of these men. In a brief speech in the French tongue, the Minister of Uruguay lauded the work which the University is doing, and expressed high hopes for its prosperity. M. Monravia spoke of the common ties which bind the Haitian Republic and the colored Americans and of his endorsement of the efforts of the "Societe Francaise" to promote the knowledge and usefulness of the French language. Professor Metz P. Lochard, head of the department of French of the University, who is primarily responsible for the staging of the "gala" occasion, greeted the guests in French on behalf of the society, while Dean Kelly Miller conveyed the respects of the student body. Dr. Emmett J. Scott, Secretary-Treasurer, served as master of ceremonies, introducing the several speakers with appropriate remarks. The Deacon Meeting. On Wednesday night, the 7th, the board held its regular meeting. Mrs. Dickerson was sent for by the chairman, and while awaiting to be called to testify she was informed that she might return home, as the board had attended to the matter. The pastor was allowed to sit in the meeting and dictate and the charge against him was never read. A member of the board of deacons made a motion that the rumors being circulated about the pastor be laid on the table for 99 years. A motion was then made to excommunicate Bros. Burke, Jackson and Dickerson, husband of the lady making the charge, from the church. Tsir recommendation went down to the church on Friday, the 16th. The Church Meeting. The meeting opened in due form. Only the presence of a police officer was noticed standing in the room. He left, however, in a very short time. The deacons' recommendation was read and, despite the arguments, and church law, the chair allowed the recommendation to go through without allowing the brothers a hearing or having had a charge made against them. Mrs. Juniata Ford was hostess to a few friends in honor of her birthday Friday of last week. *** Mrs. Francis Wilson, sister of Mr. William Duson, and who was his guest last winter, died at her home in Rochester, N. Y., last week. The Girls' Culture Club of the Public School held its monthly meeting last Wednesday afternoon at the schoolhouse. Mrs. Lena Dixon, vicepresident of the Mothers' Council, made the talk. She chose for her subject, "Conduct—At Home, In School, and Abroad." It was given in such a plain motherly way that the smallest child easily understood it. Following that, the second chapter was read by the teachers, from the book to be read for the year, "Confidential Chats With Girls," after which cocoa and cake were served. Ruth Denny, Bertha Lee and Georgiana Lee being the waitresses. Mr. and Mrs. William Henderson, Jr., and family, of Lenox, Mass, are the guests of the parents of the former. **** Several of the friends from here attended the funeral of Mrs. Collins, of Merrifield, who died at her home last week. **** The two weeks' prayer meeting, PEOPLE'S DRUG STORES: Store No. 1, Seventh and K Streets N. W.; Store No. 2, Seventh and E No. 4, Seventh and M Streets N. W.; Store No. 5, Eighth and H Streets which has been holding at the Baptist Church, came to a close last Sunday night. The meetings were successful in every way. Rev. D. G. Henderson's rare voice was a charm in every way. He brought the message in a plain, masterful way—so plain, yet wonderful, that some of the youngest stood up for Jesus. Many asked to be prayed for; several asked to be taken back, and on the second Sunday in February quite a few will be baptized and received into the fellowship of the church. Falls Church, like all other towns, is not without its sick list. Among those sick for the week are Mrs. Geo. Low, Mrs. Matilda Williams, Mrs. Summerall, Mrs. Stribling, Mrs. L.

Thursday, January 8th, was a day long to be remembered by all members of the Poro family. It had occurred to Mr. and Mrs. Malone to make the second Thursday of January "Parents Day"—this being the first celebration. All employees were privileged to invite their parents, if their parents were living; if not, to invite the one who vouched for them when they entered the employ of the Poro College. It was this last thoughtful provision that wiped many tears from the eyes of employees, for even Mr. and Mrs. Malone availed themselves of this opportunity and brought hoary-headed friends who had served as parents to them in advice and counsel. From a stage profusely decorated with warm red blossoms for the living parents and the tender pale blue and white flowers for the deceased, a splendid program was rendered. The members of the city clergy were there in large numbers, they having vouched for many of the young people at the college. The employees were seated on one side of the auditorium, wearing red ribbon for both living parents, blue for deceased father, and white for deceased mother. The parents were seated on the other side. A delightful dinner was served the parents, under the direction of Mr. ```markdown ``` Wilfred Lewis, steward of Poro College, and the employees were given an opportunity to come to the dining room and view their parents as they were partaking of the dinner. Many surprises were given. Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Moody, of Spear, Ill., Mrs. Malone's sister, who largely raised her) were secretly brought to the city as a surprise to Mrs. Malone, as also was the mother of Mr. Lewis. It was a day of rejoicing and at the same time mingled with sorrow: Here and there could be seen the single and double badge of mourning; all during the day employees were grave in thought of parents no longer with them in flesh. The day did so much to reveal the intention of Mr. and Mrs. Malone—to enter directly into the home life of their employees and bring the thing that is missing to help strengthen that life. From now on all of the Poro family will turn to Mr. and Mrs. Malone, not alone as their employers, but as their big parents, for advice, for help, for strength to bear bravely the burdens of this life, and herein was the Christ greatly revealed at Poro College, and "Parents Day" has come to stay as a bright occasion yearly at this, the greatest of our institutions. DISTRICT REPUBLICANS. The Hand-Picked Committee Wants to Name the Delegates—Lily Whitism in Evidence—The Coming Contest Will Be a Hot One. The hand-picked national committeeman has stated that there will be no election of delegates from this city to the next National Republican Convention until next May. Republicans who will elect the delegates will have something to say as to how those delegates will be elected when the call of the National Committee is published. Two-thirds of the Republican vote in this city is composed of colored Americans who have been true and loyal to the Republican party. The hand-picked Republican committee claimed to be the bona-fide Republican organization in this city. It will be remembered that a set of white Republicans got together about two years ago and invited certain District Republicans to meet and elect a chairman. This hand-picked committee decided to call itself the Central Republican Committee, when, in fact, there was the original Central Republican Committee already in operation. The custom is and has been for this old committee to issue a call for the election of a new committee to consist of members elected by the Republicans in the twenty-two old legislative districts at the same time in such places designated by the president of each district clerk. This committee then issues a call for the election of five delegates and equally as many alternates to assemble at such day and hour in some large hall and there elect two delegates and two alternates to the National Republican Convention, which is called to meet in the City of Chicago, Ill., in June. By this method the will of the Republican voters is expressed. The Republican party in this city will not tolerate the interference of any hand-picked organization. It is stated that a Mr. Galliher is at the head of this hand-picked Republican organization, which has the indorsement of the hand-picked national committeeeman. There is not a man in this hand-picked organization could be elected by the suffrage of Republican voters. The coming night will be a hot one. Among the candidate in the field thus far are Robert I. Miller, Aaron Bradshaw, Attorney Hagan, Galliher, Dr. Parsons, Dr. Charles H. Marshall and a dozen others. ROOM FOR RENT.

The recent unfortunate affair that took place at the Howard Theatre was no fault of the management. No man has tried harder to keep this playhouse up to its high standard than Mr. Thomas and his able assistant, Lieut. Vincent Thomas. For years Mr. Thomas has made all kinds of sacrifices to please his patrons, and it is their duty to do everything in their power to uphold his hands. He is no hard taskmaster. He has sacrificed plays to enable him to give his theatre to charitable and other enterprises to aid worthy causes. He has spent as well as lost hundreds of dollars to please those who have appealed to him for charity. The Bee suggested in a former issue a testimonial of some kind should be tendered to this worthy manager who has been so liberal in allowing all kinds of organizations and other charitable institutions to have this playhouse at a nominal price and sometimes free of cost. fortunate affair that took place a dult of the management.

Woodson, of 1216 You street northwest, stood up in a meeting of colored citizens and gave aid and comfort to one of the most radical advocates in the United States and declared that he was a prophet. The applause at this utterance was deafening. It was impossible for the speaker to continue his address. The people declared that he had said enough. Mr. Woodson was elated over the ovation he received. Mr. Carter G. Woodson, of 1216 in a meeting of colored citizens of the most radical advocates in that he was a prophet. The applause It was impossible for the speak The Bee was more than surprised on receiving one of Mr. Woodson's letters, that he sent to a United States Senator, a copy of which we publish in this issue of The Bee, and no doubt its contents will be surprising to the radical he so loudly and eloquently applauded and indorsed a few weeks ago. The Bee in its issue the following week had a report of Mr. Woodson's indorsement of this new radical advocate and the ovation that he received. The letter of Mr. Woodson to the Senator is self-explanatory. OUR TEACHERS. The colored teachers in our schools are continually being nagged and hounded to death by certain school officials. Our teachers never know when they are safe. There is one poor teacher, Miss Jane Cropper, who today is at the point of death by the ill-treatment she received at the hands of certain school officials. Some day a just retribution will be meted out to her traducers. She was one of the oldest and most reliable teachers in the school system. The colored teachers in our schools are and hounded to death by certain school know when they are safe. There is Cropper, who today is at the point of received at the hands of certain school retribution will be meted out to her truest and most reliable teachers in the Thy loving kindness.—Ps. 119:159. Our Father, Thou carest, Thou knowest, indeed, Our inmost desires, our manifold need: The fount of Thy mercies shall never be dry. For Thy riches in glory shall meet the supply. Thy word is true from the begin- ning: and every one of Thy righteous judgments endureth forever.—Ps. 119: 160. Jesus, Thee, our Saviour, hailing, Thee, our God, in praise we own; Highest honors, never failing, Rise eternal round Thy throne; Now, ye saints, His power con- fessing, In your grateful strains adore; For His mercy, never ceasing; Flows, and flows, forevermore. I rejoice at Thy Word, as one that findeth great spoil.—Ps. 119:162. Take me, O, my Father, take me! Take me, save me, through Thy Son; That which Thou wouldst have me, make me, Let Thy will in me be done. Long from Thee my footsteps straying straying, Thorny proved the way I trod; Weary come I now, and praying— Take me to Thy love, my God. MISSOURI VOTERS. Colored Americans Will Nominate Ticket. (Special to the Christian Science Monitor from its Western News Office.) St. Louis, Missouri—Negro voters in the twelfth Missouri congressional district have issued a statement to members of the Republican State Committee and party leaders in St. Louis demanding the right to name their own candidates for office in the district. They insist, also, that they be given the right to name men of their race as delegates from the district to the Republican National Convention, to the State convention and as candidates on the regular Republican ticket in all districts where Negroes are in a majority. Other demands are: Negro judges and clerks of election in heavily populated Negro wards; Negro representation in all Republican Party councils; Negroes on all juries where Negroes are party to the suit, and Negro representation in all appointed offices in proportion to voting strength and to any position for which they possess the ability or qualification.

A delegation of members of the Florida Avenue Baptist Church protested Sunday morning last against Rev. W. A. Taylor entering the pulpit until the charges preferred against him by Mrs. Grace Dickerson have been heard. At the beginning of the morning services Rev. J. S. Burke arose in the audience and explained the nature of the charge, as did Mr. James Dickerson, husband of the lady who made the charge. Deacon Langhorne, in response, said: "We know that it is wrong to allow Rev. Taylor to officiate pending a hearing, but the deacon board has the charges and will air them on Wednesday night next. Mrs. Dickerson filed charges of a serious nature with the deacon board over a month ago against Rev. Taylor, and it was at the business meeting of the congregation last month that a furious fight broke out while Mr. Dickerson was trying to get a hearing, which resulted in the arrest of Mrs. Bertha Office Phone: North 7813 MOON & Graduate Embalmers 2256 Twelfth Street N Free Funeral Parlors.

CONTINUATION OF THE SAGE I have seen no itemized report of the riot fund as yet. Well, I have seen men with cheek and nerve, but I have never seen the cheek that the Race Congress has. Speaking about the Race Congress and the money, some people have been talking about the large sums that have been appropriated. So far as Rev. Garner is concerned, he was under contract of four hundred dollars per. This money was not to be paid out of the riot fund, but out of the defense fund of the Race Congress, whatever that is. Dr. Garner was traveling some time in many parts of the country. He received only part of his money—about two hundred dollars. The balance has not been paid as yet. What I want to know is about the riot funds. Bro. Hawkins gives us a report that does not state the whereabouts of the riot fund. Now, Bro. Hawkins, you have handled millions of dollars, and you have honestly accounted for every cent. You always give an itemized report in your business. Now, Bro. Hawkins, I have great confidence in Howard Theatre. Innermost desires of woman and truthful motherhood revealed. With Abbie Mitchell and full strength of Lafayette Players.

President Royal Hughes of the local Bar Association stated that no lawyer received a cent out of the riot fund. He stated that he has an account of every cent that was appropriated, but none to the lawyers. Is this so? Your standing in the A. M. E. Church will not permit you to remain silent. Let us know where the riot fund money is. Some say that it is in the treasury. If so, why are you holding it, when it was given for a good purpose? If I do not hear from you soon, I shall not play in your back yard, but I will just come out on the front street, in sight of your bay windows, and throw stones at your glasses. Come across, like a good fellow, and tell all you know. You know when a person is in custody the third degree is brought into play. You are too good a citizen to have a third degree method used. I read your report and you say that it can be seen. There are hundreds of citizens who haven't the time to call. A small statement published in the press will reach all of them who have subscribed.

If he is as successful in glib talk as he was before the District Committee that is investigating the preacher-Commissioner, he will be made assistant superintendent of schools. He will be wearing two sets of goggles instead of one. I shall look after Nev when I have more time. Dr. Tanner has been elected president of the Ethiopian Society. A better selection could not have been made. Bro. Jernagin wanted, but The Bee objected. The occupation of Jernagin is gone. He got too much Willbanks mixed up in his coffee. *** Dr. W. D. Jarvis has done more work for the Parents' League than all the paid lawyers combined. There was too much legal advice mixed up in the league. The league has made a record, and if the confirmation of the preacher-Commissioner is not defeated, it is no fault of the league and it is not because it has not done its duty. I am so elated over the success of the league that I can't express myself. *** Well, my good friend and contemporary, Ralph W. Tyler, has purchased the Cleveland Advocate. Ralph has the world to himself now, and I bet you a grasshopper jump to a spider crawl that Ralph will give Wilberforce no rest. Ralph must have Indian blood in him. He never forgets. PASTOR CALLED.

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 pomade; 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. 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 Weooster 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.

I was very much amused when my attention was called to your issue of December 13th, wherein you state Andrew J. Thomas, of the Howard Theatre, is the greatest theatrical manager in the United States, taking exception to the "Master Musician," which said that John T. Gibson, of this city, is the greatest. You are excused because you did not know who was the greatest. The reason "The Master Musician" said he was the greatest was because he owns and controls a $450,000 theatre, with the standing-room-only sign displayed at every performance. Mr. Thomas does not own the Howard, only manages it for the Andrew J. Thomas Theatre Company. Then, of course, it is not near as large as Gibson's nor is it as expensively fitted up as Gibson's. Mr. Gibson finances and controls the Whitney and Tutt show, "The Children of the Sun," the only road show that stayed out last season, barring none, fifty-two weeks, and the only one that will stay out this season. Mr. Thomas has no big road show out. This season it cost Mr. Gibson $25,000 to put it out. Mr. Gibson has a theatre in Newport News—Gibson's Evelyn; Mr. Thomas has none. Mr. Gibson is putting out two new acts; what has Mr. Thomas done- Mr. Gibson has made three-quarters of a million dollars in the show business; what has Mr. Thomas made? Mr. Gibson is the richest colored man in the city of Philadelphia and the State of Pennsylvania. Where is Mr. Thomas? Mr. Gibson purchased the other day for $15,000 cash the building at the corner of Fifteenth and Lombard streets, where he is going to have a first-class office building for colored people. Where is Mr. Thomas? Mr. Gibson has purchased a fine summer home on old York Road, besides owning a fine place on Oxford street, where he now lives. He owns twenty-five houses over in Camden, besides a big farm up near Wilkes-Barre, where he raises jackasses, for which there is a big demand. Where is Mr. Thomas? He just contributed $530 to the Douglass Hospital and $400 on Sunday to the Wissahickon Boys' Club, besides a number of charitable institutions Mr. and Mrs. Gibson contribute to. This all comes from knowing how to manage a theatre successfully. Where is Mr. Thomas? Why, this will make your Uncle Dudley take notice. Of course, we know that Dudley is a good per- OUR NEW HOME PENDLETON AVE. ST.

YOUNG MEN'S PROTECTIVE LEAGUE. The annual meeting of the board of directors of the Young Men's Protective League was held January 9th, at 307 Elm street northwest. After a brief but important meeting, Mr. Andrew J. Payne (the host), assisted by Mr. J. Garfield Harris, invited the board's guests to one of the beautifully decorated tables, all laden with good things to eat. The decorations of the dining and drawing rooms were plendid. Board members: Dr. S. M. Pierre, acting chairman; Andrew J. Payne, secretary; C. O. Lewis, Frank Thompson, L. E. Dogans, Richmond Milton and J. E. Ellington. The invited guests were John R. Robinson, George L. Walton, W. Stephen Fuller, Arthur F. Boston, J. Garfield Harris, Wm. B. Moorman, Wm. H. Carter, Jr., Hamilton H. Thornton, Wm. H. Fortune and Geo. H. Payne. Impromptu remarks were made by John R. Robinson, William H. Carter and W. S. Fuller. Dr. S. M. Pierre designated Mr. A. F. Boston, on behalf of the board and invited guests, to thank the host and hostess, Mr. and Mrs. Payne, and all concerned, for the pleasure of the evening. In a short, jovial manner Mr. Payne responded, after which singing of "Auld Lang Syne" brought the meeting to a close. Phone: 10025 Branch 70 The Whitelaw Apartments 13th and T Streets N. W.
