CITIZENS PARENTS LEAGUE AND CITIZENS SLANDERED. COLORED CITIZENS CHARACTERIZED SAVAGE VOL. XL. NO. 43 CITIZ PARENTS LEAGUE A SLANDERED. CO ZENS CHARACT COLORED SCHOOLS. Senate Investigating Committee Has Mrs. Cook Under Examination— Her Memory a Little Defective— She Defends Charlotte Hunter and Opposes Dr. Lucy Moten—Senator Harrison Disgusted. Before the Senate investigating committee Saturday there was some lively testimony. Mrs. Cook, among other things, said: Colored Schools Complain. "There has been very great complaint on the ground that the colored schools have, not received as much as they should," she said. "There is still bitter complaint." "Did Dr. Learned ever recommend to the Board of Education that Charlotte Hunter be discharged?" asked Senator Harrison of Mississippi, reverting to the Moens case. "I am sure he did not." "Did you ask that the board delay action in the case of Charlotte Hunter?" "No." "You have criticized Mr. Thurston because of the failure to put the two-platoon system in a colored school," continued Senator Harrison. Mrs. Cook said that, in her opinion, Mr. Thurston had not provided the proper equipment for this system in time. "Are there any other incidents which you consider indicate that Mr. Thurston was slow and indecisive?" "I have brought no bill of particulars against Mr. Thurston," said Mrs. Cook. "I am very sorry that he did not accept our suggestion, contained in the letter members of the board sent him regarding his re-election." "Had he done so, he would have been out now," said Senator Harrison. "No; he could have obtained other employment or he could have come to the board and submitted what he had to say as well as he could have gone to the public. I regret that he did not. We would have been glad to consider anything he desired to say." Cites Loss of Personnel. Pressed for other reasons why she thought Mr. Thurston not fitted for superintendent of schools, Mrs. Cook said that valuable persons had been lost to the school system who would have remained had they been under stronger leadership. She mentioned the cases of Dr. Small in the white schools and E. C. Williams, who was principal of the M Street High School. When the latter left the schools, he became librarian at Howard University, at a less salary than when he was principal of the high school, Mrs. Cook thought. "Mr. Williams told me that he did not think he had been properly backed up by Mr. Thurston," she said. Senator Harrison asked Mrs. Cook if she had voted to adopt the report of the committee which investigated the case of Miss Aliice Wood, charged with teaching bolshevism in the schools. The witness said the report had been made in an informal manner and that she did not remember whether there was a formal vote. Reads Miss Wood Charges. Senator Harrison read from the report of the investigating committee the charges which had been made against Miss Wood, in which she was made to appear favorable to bolshevism. One of the charges was to the effect that Miss Wood had said, "There is no more reason why dogs should not go to Heaven than that human beings should go to Heaven." "I think it was denied by one of the members of the board that Miss Wood had made such a statement," said Mrs. Cook. The Washington Bee "How did Mr. Thurston view the Wood case?" asked Senator Harrison. TEN—Bee "I think he viewed it much as I did, but he apparently hesitated to come forward and grip the case. Had he done so, it might all have been settled in the superintendent's office." "Did Mr. Thurston ask the board to investigate the case?" Mrs. Cook said that he did not, though he had called it to the attention of the board. "It was an administrative matter and should have been settled as such," she added. Meetings at Van, Schaick Home. Senator Harrison asked the witness if she had attended meetings of board members outside of the Franklin School. She replied that she had attended such meetings, not more than twice, at the home of Dr. Van Schaick. The first, she said, was just before Dr. Van Schaick went abroad for the Red Cross. There were present, she thought, Mrs. Rhodes, Mrs. Gerry, Dr. Johnson, Dr. Van Schaick, Mr. Peyton and herself. "Why didn't he call in the balance of the board?" asked Senator Harrison. "He may have done so; I do not know." Senator Harrison suggested that only those had been called who were opposed to Mr. Thurston, but Mrs. Cook said she was quite sure that Mr. Peyton had been present, and he was not one of those who had voted against Mr. Thurston. The second meeting at Dr. Van Schaick's home, Mrs. Cook said, was attended by Mrs. Rhodes, Mrs. Gerry, Dr. Van Schaick, Dr. Johnson and herself. They had discussed the letter which was sent to Mr. Thurston, telling him that the board would not re-elect him: "Since Peyton 'kicked over the traces,'" said Senator Harrison, quoting from a letter written by Dr. Van Schaick regarding the Bruce case, "he has not been invited to attend these meetings." "He was not there," said Mrs. Cook. "Have you been partial to the appointment and promotion of students from Howard University?" asked Senator Harrison. Earlier in the hearing he had brought out the fact that Mrs. Cook's husband was connected with Howard University as treasurer and business manager. "No; certainly not," said Mrs. Cook. "Have you ever heard of a 'slush fund' that Dr. Bruce, the assistant superintendent of colored schools, is said to have raised?" "Teachers Consulted Counsel." "I heard that he was charged with getting money from teachers, against some of whom charges were being made in the Moens case," said the witness. "Some of these teachers had consulted counsel to see if they could not obtain redress. The movement originated among teachers, who wished to protect their good name. I was out of town at the time and do not know the details." Has there been promotion of teachers who appeared for Bruce and demotion of teachers who appeared against him?" asked Senator Harrison. "I have no knowledge of any such promotions or demotions." "Do you know Neville Thomas, a teacher of history at the Dunbar High School?" Mrs. Cook said she did. "Do you know of a meeting at which he was to speak that Dr. Bruce called off and why?" Mrs. Cook said she had a dim recollection of such a meeting, though she had understood a man from New York was to speak. She said it was feared that there would be too much WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, MARCH 27, 1920 "Thomas is very radical, is he not?" "Not very radical." Mrs. Cook caused a hearty laugh in the committee room when she defined a radical as a "good Democrat." She said she did not believe in all the views held by Thomas. She said, however, that he was "forward looking—all American," though she differed with him in his ideas of obtaining his end. Mrs. Cook told the committee she hoped it would have time to visit the colored schools. She began a defense of the teachers. Senator Walsh assured Mrs. Cook that the committee was convinced that the colored teachers were capable and doing good work, and that she did not have to defend them. Senator Walsh asked if the members of the board who did not wish to re-elect Thurston had discussed his successor before sending him the letter telling their decision not to re-elect him. "No," said Mrs. Cook. "Since the appointment of a committee to look for a successor, however, the matter has been discussed." "Did you have anyone in mind to succeed him when you wrote that letter?" asked Senator Walsh. "No." Case of F. L. Cardoza. Senator Harrison asked about the case of F. L. Cardoza, formerly a principal at Deanwood School. Mrs. Cook admitted that serious charges had been made against him, but said that the matter had been investigated by the superintendent, the assistant superintendent and the supervisor, and that the charges had not been sustained. Cardoza is teaching in another school now. The Bee knows that the Cardoza case was whitewashed by the investigating committee, which will be shown when the editor testifies before the committee. It was the most flagrant case in the history of the colored schools. MIGHT INCRIMINATE THEM SELVES. Senator Harrison Puts Some Pointed Questions—Mrs. Cook Upholds Charlotte Hunter, R. C. Bruce and F. L. Cardoza—120,000 People Assailed. On March 16, when the question of an attorney came up, Senator Harrison asked a few pointed questions. Dr. Van Schaik: "I cannot answer that. I do not know." Senator Harrison: "Ther. this plan was at your suggestion, was it not?" Dr. Van Schaick: "I cannot admit that because the suggestion of the plan came to me from members of the board, and they asked me to assist in putting it through." Senator Harrison: "You say Mrs. Cook suggested this to you?" (Senator Harrison used the name, "Mrs. Cook," while Van Schaick referred to her as "Coralie F. Cook" in the foregoing part of his testimony.) Dr. Van Schaick: "Mrs. Cook, Mrs. Gerry, Dr. Johnson, Dr. Simon, Mrs. Rhodes and Dr. Neill, all have suggested it to me." Senator Harrison: "Do you not think we can get along with this investigation without an attorney?" Dr. Van Schaick: "I would prefer not to answer that question, Senator. I have the greatest confidence in the committee and very great admiration for the ability that has been displayed in questioning of the witnesses." Senator Harrison: "And you have a great admiration for your ability in answering the questions that have been propounded to you, have you not?" Dr. Van Schaick: "Senator, you must not ask me any such questions as that." Senator Harrison: "Well, that is true, is it not?" Dr. Van Schaick: "The first principle of a man accused of immodesty is that he shall not be called upon to incriminate himself." Senator Harrison: "I will withdraw the question. I am sure the committee does not want to have you incriminate yourself about anything. Do the members of this board feel they might incriminate themselves and that they would be in a better position by having counsel here?" Mrs. Coralie Cook, who testified and declared that she had the most implicit confidence in Miss Hunter; that she never saw any of those nude pictures; that she favored the removal of Dr. Lucy Moten because she was deaf, but didn't favor the removal of Charlotte Hunter, in whom she had the most implicit confidence, said that the committee that investigated the Deanwood School exonerated F. L. Cardoza because there was no truth in the charges; that she voted to exonerate R. C. Bruce because the Parents' League had failed to file charges. Dr. Johnson in his testimony before the committee on Tuesday, upheld the attack he and Van Schaick made on the twenty thousand colored citizens in the Parents' League, without reservation, that they were one-third savage, one-third shell game and one-third children. BOET DUNBAR POET DUNBAR In the art column of the Washington Star of March 14, 1920, appeared the following: the following. "At the Dunbar High School a bust in bronze of the poet, Paul Laurence Dunbar, by May Howard Jackson, of this city, has lately been given permanent place. Mrs. Jackson was given a commission to execute this portrait by the students of the school and considers it one of her most successful achievements. Some have declared it a most excellent likeness, but, whether it actually resembles the poet or not, it undoubtedly possesses an unusually large measure of personality. "The head, which is well modeled, represents one who was a thinker, one apparently given to introspection. The eyes look straight toward the observer, but que feels that the vision is inward, that the man was one who searched his own soul. The expression is peculiarly sad, almost tragic, as though the writer himself realized the sadness of his own to short career. Whether Mrs. Jackson has interpreted one of the great men of her own race truly or not is for those who knew him best to say. "Mrs. Jackson studied for a time at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, but she has developed her work almost entirely through her own efforts and she has devoted herself almost entirely to interpreting her own race. "She was represented in the winter exhibition of the National Academy of Design in New York and her work has won her well merited commendation."

Dr. William Pickens Makes Remarkable Address on "Racial Self-Respect"—University Chapel Is Crowded to Overflowing. On last Sunday afternoon Dr. William Pickens, associate field secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, spoke to the Y. M. C. A. of Howard University on the theme, "Racial Self-Re- spect." The meeting was open to the public. Dr. Pickens told the audience, in characteristic fashion, that the Negro, in order to have the proper racial self-respect himself, must become familiar with the history of his race and its achievements; that the race must struggle as a race, and not as individuals, for the highest and best life possible in order to receive help and approval from both God and man; that the race must respect its own leaders and not hold them back or keep them down should they happen to fall. T. H. Lloyd, president of the association, presided; Dr. E. L. Parks, dean of men, conducted the devotional exercises; J. G. Logan, general secretary of the association, introduced the speaker. Music was furnished by the university choir, under the direction of Miss Lulu Vere Childers, head of the Conservatory of Music of the university. The meeting was a decided success from every angle. The chapel was crowded to overflowing, many being turned away. Many congratulations were received by Mr. Logan, who was responsible for the success of the effort. GROUP LEADERSHIP. Richard Green of the Treasury Department. When we talk of leadership we instinctively scan the distant horizon to discover the prophet and leader as he approached, but, lo, he is in our midst. The Bee ventures to say that Treasury employees, when they think of leadership, yearn for the expected colored register of the Treasury, or Auditor. But in times of stress in the Treasury what a comfort it is to have King Richard J (plain Richard Green, if you please) on the job. When the cold hand of death gathered George H. Brown to his eternal rest, a wave of sorrow swept over the Treasury establishment. Groups gathered here, and there to discuss his untimely end, and sympathy was expressed on every side. Richard Green suggested that the colleagues of the lately-deceased employee contribute to a little fund to be handed to the sorrowing widow as a token of esteem and sympathy. When the sad burial was over, $132 was handed to Mrs. Brown, the result of the direct action of Mr. Green. And then, who can count the hundreds of Treasury employees, particularly colored Americans, who remember with gratitude the powerful intercession of Mr. Green when matters vital to themselves were before the Secretary of the Treasury for review? Why, the late Prof. Charles G. Harris was being used for a football by Treasury officials because the Civil Service Commission had tossed him in or a clerkship, but stalwart Leslie M. Shaw called the game on protest of old Richard I, and Prof. Harris went to his desk. And when the famous segregation of employees was ordered in the Treasury, certain individuals diligently sought to observe Mr. Green's attitude on this ignoble, wicked policy. Be it said to the everlasting credit of Mr. Richard Green that he has never to this day observed the provisions of this wildcat manifesto. He did not lead the fight against it? No; because his community was not behind him. Some of the Treasury employees commended the move over their own signatures in letters to the Treasury heads. When the late W. C. Evans was confined to his home by illness, it was proposed to reduce his salary in order to give more pay to a man who was doing much extra work in the absence of Evans. Dick Green, we are told, went to the responsible authority and said, "Reduce my salary; but Evans needs his. My friends, Mr. McAdoo, Mr. Vanderlip, Mr. Gage and Mr. MacVeagh, will not let want come nigh to my house." And in the days when the editor of The Bee felt inclined to visit the Secretary of the Treasury, he would go to the department, seek out Mr. Green in common with other men in public life, he ushered into the Secretry's presence, transact his business and depart—no time wasted, no indirection, no evasive understrappers across your pathway. This prophet shall have honor in his own home town. The Washington Bee Address All Letters and Other Matter to THE BEE NEWSPAPER COMPANY, LOCK BOX 1826 1109 Eye Street Northwest, Washington, D. C.

Hayden Johnson, a member of the Board of Education, made upon the Parents' League, a most reputable reform organization in the United States, calls for drastic action on the part of the league and many-thousand colored citizens who have been characterized as savages, etc. Such an insult ought not to be tolerated from a man like Hayden Johnson, whose ancestry is known to the people of this city. The Parents' League represents the cream of good citizenship, and its efforts to reform the colored schools in this city meets the approval of the very best people in the City of Washington. If the Parents' League or some of its members, as Van Schaick and Hayden Johnson, the hand-picked members of the Board of Education, characterize them, are savages, shell game, etc., then let these two individuals resign and submit their claims to the people, and see how many votes they will receive. The Judges of the Supreme Court could not have made a greater mistake than when they picked these two men to represent the schools on the Board of Education. The slanderous characterization by these two would-be educators of the best element of the colored people should be taken up immediately and these two individuals be made to show their hands. If any member of the Parents' League is troubled with savagery, shell game proclivities, etc., he is unworthy of citizenship and his children should not be permitted to remain in our schools. This attack on the good names of the members of the Parents' League should not be allowed to stand unchallenged. Let us act now. Let a committee of one thousand members of this league march in a body to the investigation committee of the Senate and file a petition requesting the immediate abolition of the present Board of Education and reformation in our schools. The base and slanderous characterization of the members of the Parents' League demands action. It is a slander on the taxpayers and law-abiding citizens.

The citizens of this suburb are now awaiting the time when the District Commissioners will put into effect the permanent highway plans. Court proceedings for the condemnation of land for roads are expected shortly, and it is to be hoped that Lieutenant-Colonel Charles W. Kutz, Engineer Commissioner, will hasten the work, as the roads at present are in need of immediate repairs. Two fire engines, in responding to a fire call, sank deep into the road beds of Stanton and Sheridan roads on Wednesday, unable to reach the two burning houses, both of which were totally destroyed. The local pastors are making preparations to attend their various conferences. Reports in general are being put in print. Back pay is being collected, and farewell sermons are in order. Editor Chase, Attorney L. Melendez King and Architect J. Lankford received a hearty reception on their recent visit to this suburb. It is to be hoped that these gentlemen will be heard annually in Anacostia. At the C. M. E. Church, Rev. J. E. Scott, pastor, in appreciation of the delightful weather, the Sunday School was largely attended. The Sunday School is making rapid progress in its plans for the Easter concert. At 11 o'clock a large audience enjoyed the sermon by Rev. Green, of Mt Carmel Church. from the text "The Lord is a man of war, the Lord is His name." Exodus 15:3. This sermon was so eloquently delivered that the members wish for his early return. Rev. Hawkins, of Vermont Avenue Baptist Church, and Rev. Henry Coleman, of Macedonia Baptist Church, were present. The Epworth, League's reopening will take place Sunday, March 28, at which time Vernie S. Bumbry and Horace Queenan will speak. All are invited to attend. --- --- ENTITY THOUSAND PEOPLE DERED.

Oliver Morosco's very latest New York comedy sensation will be next week's selection by the Quality Anusement Corporation for the Lafayette Players at the Howard Theatre. "Please Get Married" has the unique distinction of being a hilarious bedroom farce, a la "Twin Beds." "Baby Mine" and "Fair and Warmer." The play was originally produced by Mr. Morosco at the Fulton Theatre; New York, where it enjoyed a run of thirty-nine weeks. The story of the piece revolves around a young bridegroom and a just-wedded bride, who have frustrated the plans of the bridegroom's father, who strenuously opposed the match, by being married by a burglar masquerading as a clergyman and whom they believe to be the genuine article. After they start out on their honeymoon to a mountain resort hotel, where they propose to spend the first twenty-four hours, they become involved in all sorts of difficulties. The second act occurs in the bridal suite as they are about to retire for the night, which furnishes laughs in abundance to the audience during the three acts in which the story is told. The Qualtix Amusement Corporation is to be congratulated on being able to secure this very latest release for stock, as it is now being played in many cities by Mr. Morosco's own companies en route at $2 prices. CORINTHIAN LODGE. Holds Brilliant Banquet and Smoker at the Whitelaw Hotel. at the Whiteclaw Hotel. Corinthian Lodge. No. 18, F. A. A.

Mc- Kinney, who reviewed the four years of the lodge's existence, pointing out its achievements and thanking those who had contributed toward its successes. This speech was followed by a baritone solo by James McIntosh, of Corinthian lodge, entitled, "It's Always Fair Weather when Good Fellows Get Together." Then came the "eats," and the menu, did credit to the officials of the hotel. It consisted of: Soup—Clam bisque, crackers; entree—squab on toast, potatoes au gratin, green peas; relishes—lettuce and tomatoes, mayonnaise; deserts—individual ices, assorted cakes, demi tasse; cigars, cigarettes; ginger punch. While the guests were being served, another of the Corinthian artists, James Robert Porter, rendered two selections at the piano. With the demi tasse arrived the cigars and cigarettes, and also the favors of the evening, consisting of clay pipes, with square cards attached, for each person present. On the cards were appropriate quotations fitting certain characteristics of each particular person, and they were informed by Past Master John L. Boyd, who had charge of the distribution of these favors, that they should respond to the idea conveyed by the card. This provoked considerable mirth and proved the sensation of the evening. All during the evening choice selections were rendered by the Invincible Five, under the leadership of Carroll Boyd. The committee who had charge of the arrangements consisted of Frank E. Hearns, Junior Warden, chairman; Fred. D. Wilkinson, Senior Steward, and Clarence A. Jones; Junior Steward; and too much praise can not be rendered them for the excellent manner in which the whole affair was conducted. The guest list included: Dr. John P. Turner, Grand Master; Jesse H. Mitchell, Deputy Grand Master; William E. Cobb, Senior Grand Warden; Charles P. Ford, Junior Grand Warden; Samuel B. Hill, Grand Secretary; Dr. William A. Warfield, Grand Treasurer; Past Grand Masters John E. Smith, William H. Jackson and Judge Robert H. Terrell; Paul R. Stewart, Samuel T. Craig, Ernest M. Dickerson; Joseph N. Lawson, Nelson Lomax, John T. Nalle, Dr. Herbert C. Scurlock, Robert W. Williams, Eugene W. Gates, Joseph V. Getts, Philip Thomas, F. W. Alston and William Coleman. DR. S. M. PIERRE. He Disappeared and Fooled the Pimps—He Preaches Prohibition and Tells the Informers That He Obeys the Law—Too Foxy. Dr. Samuel M. Pierre, who resides at 2424 L street northwest, and is a physician of standing in the community, obtained a permit to prescribe whisky, same as other eminent physicians, but the revenue officers never attempt to find out whether white physicians are violating the law, but they nose around with hired pimps of color in an effort to catch some colored physician. But Dr. Samuel M. Pierre has always been given the credit for knowing crooks. Two white men were sent to him a few days ago and claimed that they were ill and suffering from cramp. The astute physician informed them that he would have to diet them and get their stomachs in good condition. "Oh," remarked one of them, "I have had cramps all my life, and I must have something at once. Can't you prescribe whisky for me?" "Oh, no, answered Dr. Pierre; "I don't think it is necessary for you to have whisky, and then, again, don't you know whisky would be injurious to your stomach?" The doctor pulled down his record and said, "Do you see this record? I have not written a whisky certificate. I don't believe it is necessary for a man to dring whisky. I am a prohibitionist," remarked the doctor. "Do you see that corner there? I signed a protest against the continuance of that barroom and put it out of business long before the saloon men legislated against it. I propose to obey the law and follow strictly the teachings of my church." The two white pimps left the doctor, and very soon thereafter a colored pimp called and asked the doctor to prescribe for him and offered the doctor $2. Dr. Pierre said to this individual, "You know I have never charged you $2 for writing a prescription.

North 4017 JUSTICE AND KINDNESS A WORKING PROGRAM Hampton, Va., March 22. That the white people of this country, in the North as well as in the South, need to exercise the spirit of justice and kindness toward the Negro was made clear by Dr. James E. Gregg, principal of Hampton Institute, in his recent Carnegie Hall (New York) address before the friends of Tuskegee and Hampton. Dr. Gregg said: "No new scheme of profit-sharing of welfare work, of shop committees, of public-health supervision, of government control or government operation of industry; no new political or economic program is going to work without unselfish, hard-working men and women behind it and without the right spiritual forces. "President Hadley touched this truth when he spoke to the Yale graduates last June of 'intelligent unselfishness,' as did President Eliot when he described President Roosevelt as 'a high-minded public servant.' "This new spirit that our times demand may be said to be compounded of justice and kindness, which are not opposed, but are complementary. Indeed, neither can be perfect without the other. "White people often neglect the Negro's own feelings. They think that they know best what is just and Keep Your Hair --- Keep Your Hair In Fine Condition— Smooth and Glossy by using Howard's Hair Pomade 25c Size 15c For Sale at All the Peoples Drug Stores following courses: Hair Dressing, Facial treatment, Instantaneous Bleaching, Electr of the face and scalp are done scientific edge of the business is taught at this sch MME.

The Negro must stand on his merits, but he must have a man's chance industrially, politically, socially and educationally. This Tuskegee and Hampton are striving to give the Negro." ANTI-SEGREGATION. Chicago, March 22. A large number of colored residents of this city launched an anti-segregation campaign in which they are urging a "fight to the death rather than take a step backward in the efforts to get our just rights." It is being predicted that if the present agitation of a certain class of whites is kept going that there will be a more serious outbreak next summer than occurred last summer. UNANIMOUS FOR WOOD. Cincinnati, Ohio., March 21.—Information has been received here that Ralph W. Tyler has been selected as chairman to direct the campaign for the nomination of General Wood in Ohio.

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 pennade; 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.

JOHNSON Last Wednesday Washington Council, Knights of Kodosh, held its session at the cathedral of the rite, Nineteenth street northwest. A class of candidates was made. New York, March 22.-Hugh S. Martin, former captain in the United States Army and chief of the military intelligence service in North Russia, told of the danger from radical propaganda among the Negroes in this country. He said, recently, "Bolshevik propaganda is endeavoring to find a field among the Negro population of the United States as well as among foreign workmen in this country. The sole permanent solution lies in a proper understanding between the two races. Point out to a Negro that, although radicalism offers him temporary respite, in the end, as we have clearly seen in Russia, the burden of inevitable disaster will fall mainly upon his shoulders." THE POETS OF OUR RACE. Chicago, March 22.—In a specially prepared statement for the Associated Colored Press, Prof. Robert T. Kerlin of the Department of English in the Virginia Military Institute, Lexington, Va., makes a very pertinent comment with reference to the high appreciation of the poets in our group. "I have never assumed the role of adviser or preacher to the colored people of America," says Prof. Kerlin, "but I am impelled to make an exception for once—in a worthy cause. Are you as a race supporting your poets? You are getting together manfully in business, in politics, in labor, in education, in charitable, and religious works. Racial consciousness is strongly asserting itself throughout the whole domain of your life, with this one exception. You do not—like many other races—value your poets at their worth. You are willing to let them furnish you the very bread of life while you permit them to suffer for the mere bread of existence. Is this right? Is it wise?"

PARKER uses this table in his office in treating the spine and nerves. It is something entirely new and wonderful in construction. Its "universal joint" conforms with the principles of anatomy and physiology of the spinal joints and is remarkably adapted to manipulative treatment of the human spine. When it is remembered that the spine is the "backbone" of the body and contains the spinal cord, which gives off nerves to all organs and parts of the body, it will readily be understood that health and strength depend largely on the condition of the spine and spinal cord. Strain, weakness, irregular or abnormal condition of any region of the spine will affect the spinal cord, thus causing troubles in the organs which get their nerve supply from that section of the cord, be it the heart, lungs, stomach, liver, kidneys, bowels, uterus, bladder, or any other organs. Osteopathic treatment corrects the spinal troubles, releases the cord and nerves, regulates the circulation, strengthens the organs, and Nature does the rest.
