The Washington Bee AmericanLincolnLeague NATIONAL CHAIRMAN AND GENERAL WOOD SPEAK AT ANNUAL CONVENTION VOL. XL. NO. 38 Amer NATIONAL CHAIRMAN GENERAL WOOD ANNUAL Chicago, Ill.-The first annual convention of the Lincoln League of America held at South Park Methodist Episcopal Church, this city, stands as, the most remarkable political gathering of representatives of our group ever held in the United States. More than four hundred delegates and several hundred visitors, from thirty-three States of the Union, journeyed to Chicago to deliberate and take action on the questions of the day. The significance of the occasion was heightened not only by the fact that the delegates and visitors represented without question. the experience, culture, wealth and economic-political strength of the group, but by the appearance on the program of four national characters, two of whom are candidates for President of the United States. They were, in order of appearance at the convention, Will H. Hays, chairman of the Republican National Committee Governor Frank O. Lowden of Illinois, Mayor William Hale Thompson of Chicago, and Major-General Leonard Wood of the Central Department, U. S. A. The convention was called to order by Perry W. Howard, of Jackson, Miss., the attorney for the league, and one of the most constructive political leaders of the country. Col. Roscoe Conkling Simmons, president of the Loncoln League of America, was introduced by Alderman Louis B. Anderson, of Chicago, and the big meeting swung into action, prayer being offered by Rev. J. W. Ribbons, of Tennessee. It had been the purpose of the league to have former Governor P. B. S. Pinchback of Louisiana as one of the honored guests of the convention, representing the "old guard" of the times that tried men's souls, but Gov. Pinchback's health would not permit: There were, however, many present who had come up through that period, and they were introduced to the convention. Among them were Major John R. Lynch, former Congressman from Mississippi, and for a number of years in the United States Army as paymaster, and for a long time under command of General Leonard Wood; J. C. Napier, of Nashville, Tenn., former Register of the Treasury; W. H. Stewart, of Louisville, Ky., editor of The American Baptist; Scott Bond, of Arkansas, farmer and capitalist; I. F. Norris, of Seattle, Wash., former member of the Legislature of Tennessee. These men, although yet active in the affairs of the race, expressed their great pride in seeing the younger men prepared to take up the active work of political and economic progress, and bade them Godspeed: Ralph W. Tyler, of Ohio, former Auditor of the Navy, spoke as a newspaper representative. BIG TRAIN WRECK IN GEORGIA Savannah, Ga.,—The fast mail between Washington and Jacksonville, Fla., which was wrecked just as the train reached the bridge at Waves Creek, between Savannah and Jacksonville, on the Seaboard Air Line, Saturday morning, February 7th, at 9:30 a. m. A relief train was rushed from Savannah to the sufferers. The dining car and sleepers were thrown into the creek; and people were climbing out of windows. Colored Pullman porters worked heroically in saving the passengers, according to the story told by James Harris, a waiter, on the ill-fated diner: The train was going at 60 miles an hour. Thirty passengers were seated in the dining car, when suddenly a great crash came, and then a mighty smash, a mingling of voices and Waves Creek was rippling with blood, panic-stricken men and women in night attire being pulled from the wreckage. The five colored waiters that were brought out of the wreckage and the colored cook, who was disabled, lay bleeding on the siding while the Georgia method of medical attention was being carried out. One colored woman's arm was pinned under a day coach. Her screams for helup were something dreadful. Finally the men dug her out, with a crushed arm hanging from her shoulder and pleading for medical aid, which was not given until all of the whites were attended. The waiters refused any medical attention from the white physicians who came on the relief train. Thereupon the claim agent sent them to a dingy little infirmary in Savannah. They reached there about 4:30, and not a doctor was at his post. About 6 o'clock the colored victims were treated. The waiters asked to be sent on to Washington, and James Harris and John Weekley are at Freedmen's Hospital, while R. C. Kendrick, Alexander Webb and Charles Pinkney are being treated at home. Some of the train crew who thought slightly of their cases accepted $50, waiving all claims against the Seaboard Air Line. RICKAKD W. THOMPSON. A Prominent Member of the Colored Press Dead. When Richard W. Thompson died here last Thursday night the colored race in America lost one of its most representative men and the colored press one of its most efficient and brilliant correspondents. Since he was a boy 17 years of age Thompson had been writing for the newspapers. The work was his obsession, and he was never so happy as when he was writing something good about men and women or describing and telling about some accomplishment of merit of some member of the Negro race. His was a splendid and fine spirit always. He wanted to see and did see the best in men, not the worst, and many a colored man owes his prominence to what Thompson saw in him and wrote about him. The colored press will greatly miss Richard Thompson, because he was an unusual newsgatherer and distributor. The readers of colored publications will not soon find another man whose letters were as newsy, interesting and instructive as his were: Thompson was a correspondent, not an editor. He had trained himself that way. It is remarkable how he turned out such a prodigious amount of copy for the press and kept up at the same time his regular occupation for a livelihood through all the years. Thompson was born in Kentucky 54 years ago. He was educated in Indiana, and spent more than half his life in Washington, where he held a position under the United States Government. He enjoyed the acquaintance and friendship of all the leading colored men in public life in this country for the past quarter of a century. For them his pen was ever ready to indicate a word of commendation. Harsh criticizing, bitterness and fault-finding seemed always far from the trend of his mind. These things were distasteful to him to the last degree At St. Luke's Church last Sunday the rector, Father Brown, preached the funeral sermon. It was a beautiful and just tribute to the deceased and must have been words of great consolation to the widow and daughter, whom he loved so fondly. Those who bore the body of Thompson to its last resting place were Judge Robert H. Terrell, Hon. John C. Dancy, Walter Singleton, John T. Howe, J. A. Lankford and J. Finley Wilson All these men had been his intimate friends in life, and it was fortunate that they could all be present to pay his mthe last tribute of respect. WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1920 UNJUSTIFIABLE SHOOTING. When John Serola, policeman and former marine, shot and killed John Twine, colored, while the latter was running from him a few months ago, and was exonerated by the coroner's jury on the ground that Twine "made as if to draw a gun," many people thought the case was closed. Facts brought to the attention of the District of Columbia Branch of the N. A. A. C. P. caused an investigation to be made by its legal committee, with the result that affidavits were secured and presented to the district attorney's office showing that the shooting of Twine was not justified. Last week the grand jury returned an indictment of second degree murder against Serola, as it appeared from the evidence submitted by the legal committee that Twine was unarmed and that the act of the officer, whose marksmanship was made much of by one of the daily newspapers at the time, was without warrant of law. CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY LEAGUE'S GOOD WORK The Christian Community League, of which Elder E. A. Osborn is president, entertained the public and its friends last Tuesday evening at the Community Center, 2011 Georgia avenue northwest. Elder Osborn has devoted a great deal of his time in collecting funds for the War Camp Community Service and turning over to those who have the collection of these funds in hand. Last week he turned over to Mrs. Julia Mason Layton $8.25 in cash and $11.75 in pledges. The entertainment last Tuesday evening consisted of a fine program and those who took part were Misses Anna D.. Bell, Elizabeth Martin and Pearl C. Alexander, the latter being master of ceremonies; also Elder E. A. Osborn, Charles A. Marshall, Edward Diggs and others. FLORIDA AVENUE CHURCH. Reading of Bill of Complaint Caused Excitement—Rev. W. A. Taylor Uneasy While Bill Was Being Read by Attorney Hughes—Large Crowd Present at Church Meeting Friday Night—The Fight to Be Continued to Remove Dr. Taylor—Rev. Taylor Retained and Burk and Others Restored. Quite an unusual crowd of spectators filled Equity Court No. 2 last Friday morning, when the case of Jackson et al. vs. Taylor et al. was called on the rule to show cause. Lawyers. Thomas L. Jones and Royal Hughes represented the plaintiffs, and Messrs. Armond W. Scott and Chas. Williams represented the defendant Taylor and others. While Lawyer Hughes was reading the plaintiff's bill (which among its many complaints contained charges against the plaintiff, Rev. Taylor) the defendant, Taylor, became rather nervous. He arose out of his seat and walked across the room to converse with Attorney Scott. Justice Bailey listened carefully to the bill of complaint, and twice during its reading Attorney Hughes was requested by the court to read again certain allegations in the bill. The court then ordered the plaintiffs, Jackson, Burke and Dickson, restored without prejudice to membership and the officers, Porter and Jackson, restored to the board of trustees, and restrained the Rev. W. A. Taylor from interfering with the plaintiffs, fixing bond in the sum of $500. Friday night, being the regular business meeting of the church, quite a large crowd of members assembled, thinking that the regular business of the church would be transacted. The pastor was present, as was his attorney, Charles Williams, who, with the aid of Deacon Langhorne, and the plaintiff, Taylor, pretended that it was a prayer meeting of the church and not a business meeting of the church. The plaintiffs declare that they will fight to the bitter end to have their church rid of the defendant Taylor, using all lawful means in their power to have peace and harmony restored. Mr. Justice Bailey is one of the fairest judges upon the bench of the Supreme Court. G. P. O. NEWS. Mrs. Beulah Harris Johnson is absent on account of illness. Mr. R. E.

This was planned to be the last week in the drive for $25,000 for the Alley Improvement Association Day Nursery. We are extending the time until March 16th in order to insure success. The public has been worked hard by numerous drives recently and are using the utmost discrimination in giving their aid to any cause. Our Nursery is working on one of the largest problems of civic betterment confronting our colored citizenry. It is not duplicating teh function of any other charitable agency. We have given successful service over a period of eight years, and our work has been indorsed by the Associated Charities. However, the increasing demand for our type of service due to greater economic pressure on the poorest element has rendered our present facilities inadequate. We need money to get out of debt. We need money for this year's running expenses. We need money to get larger and better quarters. We ask every citizen of the District of Columbia to give something to this cause.

Jacques Futrelle always had the knack of writing a story that created interest on the first page and retained it until the last, with never a lagging moment in between, and the story of "My Lady's Garter," that won for him the $10,000 prize; is certainly no exception to the rule. It was most natural that such a story should prove just as entertaining, just as thrilling, just as mystifying and just a senjoyable as was the story when it existed only between the covers of a best seller.

"My Lady's Garter" originally belonged to Lady Salisbury, an episode in whose life led Edward III to establish England's famous order of Knighthood. For years the jewelled garter had reposed in the British Museum, eventually being stolen, and finding its way into the hands of Daddy Heinz, a notorious "fence," and by him sold to Broker Hamilton, a millionaire collector of curios. Of course every effort is made by the police of two continents to recover the famous garter, and Hamilton, fearing the consequences if it is discovered to be in his possession, arranges that it shall be returned. However, before he can succeed in his purpose, the garter is again stojen; and this time by a criminal supposed to have been "The Hawk," a brilliant operator in the underworld, who is known only by the cleverness that marks the many tal with the second theft of the garcrimes he has committed. Coincidenter, Hamilton's young daughter has arranged an elopement with the son of his business rival, a young man with poetic inclinations, but when Helen seeks to pass to him her jewels, she unwittingly places them in the hands of "The Hawk," and "Skeats" Gaunt, the young man with whom Helen thinks she is in love, is picked up by the police on the charge of burglary. Later, at a nearby summer resort, Helen's life is saved by a young man, Bruce Colquhoun, who bears a striking resemblance to the known description of "The Hawk," and a combination of circumstances serves to place him under the suspicion of being the notorious criminal, and when it is discovered that he has in his possession the jewelled garter, suspicion becomes a certainty. Suspense is maintained at a high tension, and until the very end the audience is kept in the dark as to the identity of "The Hawk," and when that individual is known for who and what he really is, it furnishes the biggest surprise of a play that seems a succession of unexpected happenings. Through it all is woven the romance of Helen for her stalwart hero, and when things look blackest, and the strong hand of the law is about to clutch him, her love proves greatest. --- Rev. Holder.

The first man to break the ice in such a contest was my good friend Ralph W. Tyler, the man who was the boss of his office under the Roosevelt and Taft administration. Ralph W. Tyler is some man. He never got credit for what he really did for his colored friends. He was more sinned against than sinning. No one knew him better than the Sage. He spent his own money to promote the advancement of his people. He is among the greatest Americans in this country notwithstanding the color of his skin. The death of Richard W. Thompson takes from the field of journalism one of the most gifted descriptive and prolific colored journalists in the United States. He came to this city some years before the late Edward Cooper as a supporter of the Democratic party, and was appointed in the office of the Public Printer. He knew the game of politics and never failed to work it for his advantage. He associated himself with The Colored American, that Cooper and other colored officeholders established. The Colored American, with the late Edward Thornton, declared that The Lee was short-lived. For ten years The Colored American, with the leading colored men of all classes and politics, hannieried at the bee hive of The Bee. The Bee had an up-hill struggle to make its honey, and very often dulled its stinger to ward off the attacks of its enemies, but the little Bee improved each shining hour until the God of nature multiplied its talents and added to the many flowers from which it gathered its honey. Cooper passed to the Great Beyond then Thornton, Douglass, Washington and all other great lights were called to appear before St. Peter and give an account of the deeds that were recorded against them. Speaking of the late Richard W. Thompson, he was an untiring writer and journalist. He never tired attacking the enemy and took delight in extolling the virtues of those who gained his favor. He was a friend to his friends and an enemy to his enemies; so forget and forgive. His disposition was genial. Quiet in his manner, pleasing in his expressions and liberal to the lowly, his only daughter was the soul of his ambition, whose loveliness, virtues and congeniality were his admiration. Richard W. Thompson, like all others, must some day travel to the Great Beyond and leave behind on the tablet of fame the qualities of an unselfish ambition. He was not without his faults; no man is perfect, no matter what his efforts in life may have been. His efforts were to make small men great and great men greater. It was but a few weeks ago that Richard W. Thompson framed his last news notes. His spirit will traverse space, invisible to the eyes of the living. A few more seasons come, And we shall be with those that rest Asleep within the tomb.

Should the United States Senate adopt the League, of Nations as modified by the Lodge reservations? ANOTHER GOVERNOR HONORS HIS AUTHORITY Once more the governor of an American State has acted promptly and effectively to maintain law and order instead of yielding his State to mob violence. And there can be little doubt that the majority of Kentucky's citizens are well satisfied with the stand taken by their chief executive, Edwin P. Morrow, against the lynching of a Negro, who, charged with the killing of a child, was being dealt with by orderly process in the courts. In the governor's action the rule of law has been twice vindicated, first, in the overcoming of the lawless attempt of the mob to take Kentucky law into their own hands; and, second, in the swift and unerring legal processes whereby the original offender was apprehended, tried, and sentenced to suffer the punishment which the law prescribes. So far as any law can serve as the punitive and corrective agent in a human tragedy of this kind; the law has apparently been perfectly applied. Not even the friends of the accused, one may infer from the news reports of the matter can take exception to the justice of the proceedings. This means much. If other similar cases arise to be dealt with, and they be dealt wiht like this one in Kentucky, the great evil of lynchings, which has cried out for correction increasingly in the years that have elapsed since. Negroes could be held in slavery in the United States, will be done away with. The strength of lynchings has been the public officials whose fears or prejudices have blinded them to the majesty of the law and the efficacy of rigorous law enforcement both as a means of preserving order and as a way of insuring justice. Too many a sheriff of the past has weakly allowed a mob of his fellow citizens to take from his custody a prisoner who should never have been surrendered. Too many a governor of the past has delayed to use the force with which the law equips him lest some lawless but supposedly influential "citizens" be injured. Authority is bound to be ineffective for good in such hands, for its use is then directed by considerations that always make for the failure of justice, considerations of person where action can be just only as it is, determine without regard to person. If all individuals are to be equal before the bar of justice, no public officer charged with upholding the law can properly refrain from taking prompt and effective measures to suppress infractions of the law, when they are presumably due to the acts of responsible fellow citizens no less than when they are undertaken by the reckless denizens af the underworld. That this truth was so well recognized by the public officials in this Kentucky affair is enough to encourage all who wish to see popular government rise to its fullest achievement. Not only Governor Morrow, but the men constituting his immediate official support, including Adjutant-General Deweese and Brigadier-General F. C. Marshall, of the Federal troops, deserve the commendation of the country. For force, wisely used to maintain law, minimizes the need for force. also the guest of her sister, Mrs. Bertha Montague, on Thursday. **** On February 15th there was a birthday party at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. J.

Mr. Roland Washington, of Boston, made the address, the principal thought being that both men, though lowly born, rose to great heights through ambition and perseverance, applying the lesson to themselves. The program was as follows: Music, school; Columbia salute to the flag, school; recitation, "A Lesson to Learn," Myrtle Henderson-Vonberna Parker; recitation, "We Can Be Like Him," Kathleen Thomas; Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, Lucinda Thomas; Abraham Lincoln, Bertha Lee; music, "Battle Hymn of the Republic," school; Sketch of the Life of Douglass, the Principal; recitation, "We Cannot All Be Douglass," Cath- THERE IS A CAUSE the cause Don't take medicines.

At a meeting of the Executive Committee of the League of Republican Clubs and the Republican Central Committee, held at the City Club the day before, Lincoln's birthday, Mr. Colladay, Republican National Committeeman for the District, is quoted in a morning paper as saying that it was "the purpose of the Republican organization in the District to elect representative delegates to the Chicago convention." Now, read that sentence twice over, and if you fail to catch its meaning, read it twice again. Now, take the sentence to pieces and examine closely the different parts that make it up. First, notice that the meeting was held at the City Club, a place where colored men are not expected. Second, that the meeting was held the day before Lincoln's birthday. Third, that the "Republican organization" is to elect the delegates; and fourth, that these delegates are to be "representative delegates." Of the four elements of which, the sentence is composed, only the place and time of the meeting are clear beyond all dispute and cavil. The place of holding the meeting is objectionable, for the reason that it is inhospitable to colored people; the time is objectionable, because it was too near the birthday of the immortal emancipator, whose labors and martyrdom are the foundation upon which is built the enduring structure of the colored man's freedom, citizenship and franchise, and to hold such a meeting under the name of the Republican party, leaving the colored man out, is as unsatisfactory as to present the play of "Hamlet" with the melancholy Dane left out. To hold such a meeting at such a time is only a little less of an outrage than to have held it on the very birthday of the great Lincoln. The remaining elements of the sentence are obscure, vague and sinister. The election is to be by "the Republican organization." What is "the Republican organization"? Who compose it? Is it the League of Republican Clubs? Is it the Republican Central Committee? Is it the rank and file of all persons believing in Republican principles and supporting Republican candidates? These questions are answered logically by considering the place of the holding of the meeting. Taking all these things into account, the conclusion is inevitable that the purpose is to create a limited and selected constituency, the smaller the better, a few bankers, a few corporation attorneys, a few brokers, and the pliant and willing tools of all these, and to exclude from a voice in the selection of delegates the great mass of those who for fifty years have made up the great Republican party. And, then, what is meant by "representative delegates"? The usual and common meaning of "representative" in a political sense is a person selected by the majority, or a plurality, all of a certain way of thinking, being at liberty to take part in the act of selection, or election. But if the place of holding the meeting and the persons in attendance are considered, as they must be in this case, the word representative assumes a narrow and technical signification, and means unrepresentative, exclusive, plutocratic and capitalistic. And it has this latter meaning; notwithstanding the fact that Mr. Collo-day said "there will be no lily-white delegation." What evidently is contemplated is to put one unrepresentative Negro on as delegate and another unrepresentative Negro on as alternate, both of whom are known in advance to be out of harmony and sympathy with the rank and file of the Negro race. Of course, Frank Hogan, corporation attorney, was at the meeting and made a speech. The National Committeeman in these initial steps is not creating a favorable impression in the minds of those Republicans who want the party constituted as Lincoln said the Government was: "of the people, for the people, and by the people." There are two or three colored schools in this country that have monopolized public attention to colored education, and because of this monopolization millions have poured into their treasuries, and which, be it said, these institutions richly merit. There are some men in this country who are riding upon the crest of the wave as a result of some pioneer coming before and building, but in which building they played no part, although enjoying the honor and emoluments resultant therefrom. Down in Durham, N. C., there is a colored educator who has achieved, and is achieving for his race, and yet, having no seasoned "press agent," or desiring none, too infrequently do we hear of him or his school. That man is Dr. James E. Shepard, principal of the National Training School at Durham, N. C. Dr. Shepard is the Booker T. Washington of North Carolina, and his school is as deserving as either Hampton, Tuskegee or Howard. The National Training School is not an achievement left to Dr. Shepard by some notable race architect now deceased. He conceived the idea and vitalized it into a splendid educational institution at which young colored people are taught the arts and sciences—prepared for the divinity and the commercial world and grounded in home economics. Here, also, teachers are trained for a lifework of race uplift. Because, perhaps, the National Training School at Durham has not exploited the industrial in contradistinction to broad and liberal education, and because Dr. Shepard, modest and retiring, yet earnest, unselfish and diligent, has had no efficient "press agent," his achievements, and his splendid school has not had the publicity; has not received the attention, and financial aid it so richly deserves. Dr. James E. Shepard is a big, broad-minded, able educator—a distinct asset to our race, who has achieved without boasting of it; has labored earnestly for his race down in the "Tarheel State," and considers it a glorious privilege to so labor. In taking stock of 100 per cent race men, and of institutions that are the incubators out of which the best types of race men and women will come to halo our future with success, we must not overlook Dr. James E. Shepard, and the National Training School. He and it deserves the financial aid of philanthropists as much as our praise. The above editorial from the Cleveland Advocate, of which that versatile writer and judge of men, Ralph Tyler, is managing editor, reflects the opinion of The Bee, which it has steadily fostered through long years. There is no saner, safer or abler leader of the people today than Dr. James E. Shepard, and it will not be years before it is generally admitted by the American people. THE LINCOLN LEAGUE LEADERS. When disfranchisement was being put through in the Southern States was a mighty good time for the voice of Roscoe Conklin Simmons to have been heard in the States of the North; but no one heard him pleading for liberty for the race then. When the steam roller of Frank Hitchcock was working and the lily-white Republicans of the South were being put in the saddle in the South was a mighty good time for Henry Lincoln Johnson to have been heard in the States of the North, but no one heard him pleading for the race then. In fact, the "honerabull hennery linkum johnsing" was then firing the Hitchcock steam roller that crushed his race. All at once Bob Church blooms out as a leader and thinks the field of politics in the North better than that of Memphis. It is enlightening to colored people in the North who vote and whose votes are counted to now be led by these colored men of the South who let their votes be taken from them and didn't have the manhood to fight the thing before the people of the North when it was being done and are now without the gratitude or the manhood to stand by the one white man of the South who did fight that thing with the courage of a Lincoln. And Manning, despite the ingratitude of self-seeking and selling-out Negroes, is yet doing more to bring about free government for the Southern people than any other influence. gro's Economic Progress," "The Church and the Negro," "The Migration of the Negro," "The Negro and the Trade Unions," "The Financial Contributions of Negroes to Liberty Loans and War Work Activities," "The Problems Connected with the Use of the Negro as a Soldier in the World War," "The Negro as a Soldier in the World War," "The Negro in Politics," "Race Relations and Racial Cooperation," "Race Riots," "Lynchings," "The Race Problem in the United States, in the West Indies, in Africa." Keit Sutherland, 66-year-old colored "whitewash and brown paint philosopher" and proprietor in name, only of the dismantled "Fairview Hotel" at Florida avenue and Eckington place northeast, today announced the completion of addition philosophical and historical compilations. At the same time he issued a statement declaring that the public would probably be without the benefit of these articles, since there is no hotel to carry the message to the public. The editor, Monroe N. Work, has made extended researches and has spared neither time nor pains to make this new edition of the Negro Year Book in every way more comprehensive and authoritative than any, of the previous editions. "It covers every phase of Negro activity in the United States, reviews progress in all lines, discusses grievances, outlines the economic conditions of the race, presents religious and social problems, educational statistics and political questions as they relate to the race. The "Fairview Hotel," which dealt exclusively clams and varieties of hard-shell sea food, was a one-story "shack" conducted by Sutherland until a few weeks ago, when the order came to vacate since the property, was to be leased to another concern. The feature which attracted attention for a decade was the collection of whitewashed tin signs about the clam emporium on which were painted in brown the messages and advice of the old colored man, who says that "many people tell me I got second sight."

The other, about the 9th of the months, comes to me because I was born on the 9th of December, 1853. "I ran rhyme on anything." The ninth day dates are as follows: "Abraham Lincoln was born in 1809. "Ford's Theatre collapsed 9th of June, 1893. "General Lee surrendered 9th of April, 1865. "President Taylor died 9th of July, 1853. "Battle of Flodden Hill, 9th of September, 1513. "Chicago fire, 9th of October, 1871. "John Milton died 9th of November, 1674." His combination song runs through verses of "Home, Sweet Home," "Old Black Joe," Swanee River," "The Old Oaken Bucket" and ends with an adapted Yankee Doodle verse, as follows: "Yankee Doodle went to town, He went upon a pony, He stuck a feather in his hat; Ate 1,000 and 49 beans with meat and fat And upset his Mc A. Roney." Keit Sutherland continues to sign his name with the addenda of "Proprietor of Fairview Hotel, 1,000 and 49 beans to the plate."

North 4017 Many in Jail, While the Riot Fund Sleeps—Will the Race Congress Report the Whereabouts of the Money? There are several persons in jail as a result of the raid last July and several thousand dollars were collected by the Race Congress, of which Rev. W. H. Jernagin is president and Prof. John R. Hawkins, financial secretary. The people have been looking and waiting for the report of the Race Congress of the money collected and its whereabouts. There is no just cause why a report of the funds collected by this congress should not be given. Next year the Race Congress is booked to meet again, but The Bee predicts that the people will not contribute any more money to this mushroom organization until a report of the riot fund is made to the people. There is every reason to believe that some action will be taken to force the National Race Congress to make a report of the riot fund. NEGROES UNITE TO QUELL RACE TROUBLE.

CONGERNING Invention of an Expert Chemist You probably have tried all sorts of remedies on your scalp without getting the desired results, until you have become discouraged and lost confidence in all hair remedies. Thousands of others; like yourself, finally turned to using Seeby's Quinade; and have been so pleased with the result they would never again waste their time or money using anything else. Quinade is not an ordinary 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 Quonhsoap, 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.

We as a race have made wonderful progress in the last fifty years along all lines, but the thing we lack most is a means of communication, the creation of a strong and clean press sentiment in very city where our people are in large numbers, especially here in the city of Washington, the Capital of the Nation, with over a hundred thousand of our race, and among that number three thousand Masons. Let a meeting of all the pastors, doctors, lawyers, business men and other leading men and women be called in each city and pledge themselves to support some newspaper in their city and make it a daily if possible. You may put out the cry that the whites will not read our papers. That is true to a large extent. But I tell you when you begin reading your own papers you will arouse a great interest in yourselves, and then the white people will begin reading your papers for the purpose of learning what is going on among us, and not until then. They will not only read them, but will advertise in them, in order to secure your patronage, for it is a matter of business. We as Masons are considered to be the best and most progressive citizens by the public, and as good and true men, strictly obeying the moral law, as well as being peaceful citizens, cheerfully conforming to the civil laws of the country, it behooves us, as there are only two newspapers of our race in this city, to give our support to The Bee and Eagle. The chairman of the Masonic publicity committee has advocated this concerted movement for years through the Christian Banner of Philadelphia and other papers, to support our papers and thus build up a strong communication of inspiring and helpful thought. We can build up a healthy press, if we will, and thus make a strong and lasting sentiment in favor. The great trouble in this country is that there is an element that wants to carry on the affairs of Europe to the detriment of the U. S. * * * Dr. A. D.

Miss Jennie Penn was laid to rest Sunday afternoon, February 15, at Paynes' Cemetery. Services were held in the chapel of Undertaker Lomax by Rev. Botts at 3:30 p. m. A small group was present, through whose kind and sympathetic efforts the body was taken over and funeral arrangements made after" it was learned that the remains had been unclaimed by relatives. This young woman had erred, it is true, but it could have been through some uncontrollable impulse. She was given a long term in prison, and she ended her life by poisoning. The saddest of all was to know that she was entirely deserted by relatives and many so-called friends, even after death. Brooding over her false step and realizing the above-mentioned fact may have caused her to hasten the end; who knows? There are times when we must forgive if we expect forgiveness. Nevertheless, the young woman was given a respectable burial through the efforts of Mrs. N. B. Grigsby, Mrs. M. Swann, Mr. R. L. Kinny, Mr. Joseph Roberts and a small group among whom she worked, and whose admiration she won through her whole-hearted and genial ways during her better life. We also highly command Undertaker Lomax for his services, which he rendered at cost, and even sacrificed to a great extent after learning the situation. We feel that we have only done a charitable and Christian duty; that's all. The remains was accompanied to the cemetery by a few after the services, paying their last respects to the unfortunate. RAYMOND HAMILTON DEAD. As The Bee goes to press, it learns of the death of Mr. Raymond Hamilton, son of Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Hamilton, 230 T street north-west.
