Washington Bee

The Washington Bee Repudiates Hand Picked CHAIRMAN WILL H. HAYES REPU DIATES. MUST ELECT. SENDS THE FOLLOWING LETTER. VOL. XL. NO. 46. Rep CHAIRMAN WILL DIATES. MUST THE FOLLOWIN HAYS MAKES STATEMENT. Chairman of the Republican National Committee Says Candidate Will Be Elected, Not Selected. "I have repeatedly stated my belief that the chairman of the National Committee is to elect the candidate and not select him," said Will H. Hays recently in an interview. "I shall square my performance with my promise. There shall be no word nor act of mine which will directly or indirectly influence in any way the result of any contest in any State for delegates to the Republican National Convention nor the choice by the delegates in the convention. It makes no difference what may be said by any person for any reason at any time in any place in the country indicating any other wish of mine. It simply is not true. I am sure that anyone who would suggest another course will, on reflection, approve my irrevocable position in this regard." HAYDEN JOHNSON. What He Said to the Committee and Dr. Van Schaick—Two-thirds Child, Two-thirds Shell Game and Two-thirds Savage—Six-thirds Out of Three-thirds Hayden Johnson's New Rule of Mathematics—Will the Shell Men and Savages Stand Up and Be Counted? When Dr. J. Hayden Johnson testified before the Senate. Committee last week, he was asked by Senator Harrison, "Did you make a statement, on the 12th day of January, just outside the committee room, to one Mrs. Chestnut, or in her presence, and to two other parties, that you didn't believe Dr. Van Schaick said that 'this outfit,' speaking of the Parents' League, 'is one-third child, one-third savage and one-third shell game'?" Dr. Johnson: "I did not." Senator Harrison: "You made no such statement to her?" Dr. Johnson: "As you state it, no." Senator Harrison: "What did you say to her?" Dr. Johnson: "The testimony that he said that the colored people of Washington were one-third child, one-third savage and one-third shell game man. I said I did not believe it. I said I did not think he said that in any letter or anywhere else." Senator Harrison: "They based that on what appeared in this letter, did they not?" Dr. Johnson: "Evidently." Senator Harrison: At that time you had received a letter from Dr. Van Schaick, had you not?" Dr. Johnson: "A similar letter." Senator Harrison: "Have you got the original?" Dr. Johnson: "No; I have not. I handed it to the District Committee. It is on page 53." Senator Harrison: He had written you a letter that this outfit was one-third child, one-third savage and one-third shell game man, had he?" Dr. Johnson: "He had." Senator Harrison: "Did you approve of that statement?" Dr. Johnson: Every word of it. I modified the proposition, if you will read further." Senator Harrison: "You thought they were two-thirds child?" Dr. Johnson: "That is it." Senator Harrison: "And two-thirds savage?" Dr. Johnson: "No; with the rest divided up." Senator Harrison: "You were not going to get too many parts?" Dr. Johnson: "No." Senator Harrison: "That is a pretty bad allegation to bring against a part of your own race, is it not?" Dr. Johnson: "Knowing them as I do, and as you can not know them, I do not think so." Senator Harrison: "There are some pretty. good people in the Parents' League, are there not? Dr. Johnson: "Surely." Senator Harrison: "You agreed with Dr. Van Schaick about that statement?" Dr. Johnson: "Except in the proportions." Senator Harrison: "He wrote you a letter in which he stated, 'Dear Johnson: I have read the evidence, every line. You are absolutely right. That outfit is one-third child, one-third savage, and one-third shell game man.' Now, what was he talking about, that you were absolutely right?" Dr. Johnson: "Did you read the comments above on that?" Senator Harrison: "I am asking you now what he meant." Dr. Johnson: "When he came back from Europe, I had gone to him and told him about the methods adopted by the league, and the disturbance they were causing among the colored people in the city, and also told him about the abuses they had put on all people who did not thoroughly agree with them. I also told him of the changes in their meetings, which had been open meetings in the beginning and now were one-sided meetings, where they did not propose to hear anybody talk who was not opposed to Mr. Bruce, and similar things. I said, 'They will curry favor with you until they find out where you stand. If you are with them, you are a good fellow; if you are not, they are going to crucify you.' That, I think, is what he meant.' Senator Harrison: "You evidently had the same opinion that Dr. Van Schaick had about them, because he had written to you about it?" Dr. Johnson: "Evidently." Senator Harrison: "About the 25th of August. The first time you ever showed that letter was when you testified before the committee?" Dr. Johnson: "The very first time." Senator Harrison: "The committee that was investigating the confirmation of Dr. Van Schaick?" Dr. Johnson: "That is right. That was to correct the impression given in the testimony preceding that, that he had referred to the colored people of Washington, and not to only part of them, as 'that outfit.'" Senator Harrison: "Dr. Van Schaick in his testimony admitted that it probably would have been better if he had not written the letter to Dr. Learned; that he wrote it in one of his moods. I suppose he had a mood when he wrote you that Letter?" Dr. Johnson: "I can not answer that." Senator Harrison: "You got the letter?" Dr. Johnson: "I did." Senator Harrison: "What date did you receive it?" Dr. Johnson: "I do not know. The envelope had the date on it." Senator Harrison: "Are the envelope and letter in the record?" Dr. Johnson: "In the committee room." Dr. Johnson: "I did not see the other letter." Senator Harrison: "Is there anything else you want to state now?" Dr. Johnson: "I believe not." Senator Harrison: "You used to be in Freedmen's Hospital, did you not?" Dr. Johnson: "In the outdoor clinic." Senator Harrison: "How long were you there?" Dr. Johnson: "My practice on the outside would not permit me to give the time to it." Senator Harrison: "Trat is all, I believe. We are yery much obliged to you." WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, APRIL 17, 1920 REV. ROBERT B. ROBINSON. Rev. Robert B. Robinson, of Alexandria, Va., is a man of great courage and has succeeded in every department of life. Rev. Mr. Robinson came from Methodist stock, his father being a noted preacher in the M. E. Church. Rev. Robinson entered the Union Army, Company A, I. C. T., and was mustered out July, 1865. He opened the first colored school in Parkersburg, W. Va., in 1866, and then taught very successfully at Eastern Shore, Md., and in the Valley of Virginia. While engaged in teaching school in Virginia, he took a hand in politics, and in 1882 was a candidate for Congress, but withdrew in favor of Hon. John Paul. He was a member of the Vir- REV. R. B. ROBINSON, 33°, Deputy Grand Master of the Jurisdiction of America, Order of the American Masonic Federation, Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite. ginia Republican State Committee in 1883. In 1885 he established the Kanawha Advance at Charleston, W. Va., and was the first colored chairman of the State-Committee of that State. He was appointed commissioner at the New Orleans World's Fair in 1884, by ex-Senator B. K. Bruce. He has studied law and theology at Howard University. In society he occupies a high place, being a P. N. F. in the G. U. O. of O. F.; past eminent commander of K. T.; a thirty-third degree Scottish Rite Masons, and past Potentate of the Shriners; member of the St. Luke's; deputy grand master of the jurisdiction of America, and is enrolled with the American Masonic Federation. No man is better known to the preach in this county than Rev. R. B. Robinson. His family connections are among the F. F. V.'s. THE NATIONAL FORUM The National Forum met on Thursday evening last, pursuant to adjournment, with W. C. Martin, of the board of directors, presiding, and Edmund Hill, Jr., of the board, acting as secretary. After reading of the minutes of the last meeting, the chairman announced that further discussion of the resolution at the last meeting was in order. The question was: "Resolved, That, the enforcement of Section 1 of the Fifteenth Amendment to the Federal Constitution would benefit the Negro more than the enforcement of the Fourteenth Amendment." The discussion was opened by Mr. M. W. Watson, who contended that no issue was raised by the question as presented. A lively discussion followed, in which Mr. J. W. Smith and Mr. Joseph Robinson spoke in favor of the affirmative side of the question, and Mr. Edmund Hill, Jr., and Mr. W. P. Morton supported the negative. The discussion of this question, for the present, was closed by Mr. T. J. Gordon, who contended that the complete enforcement of the Fourteenth Amendment was the only panacea for the political ills of the Negro. The subject for discussion at 8 p. m. Thursday evening, April 15, is: "Should the treaty, of Versailles as modified by the Lodge reservations, be adopted?" The National Forum meets weekly every Thursday, at 8 p. m., at the Miles Memorial Church, Third street between L street and New York avenue northwest. MT. CARMEL BAPTIST CHURCH Rev. W. H. Jernagin Declines to Report and Appoints the Entire Congregation as Detectives -- The Salary Raise. The Mt. Carmel Baptist Church, of which Rev. W. H. Jernagin is pastor, held a business meeting some time ago, at which the pastor stated that he has made all the report he intends to make concerning the riot fund, that he has collected for the church $6,346.11. He also stated that he had nothing to do with the money; his salary was raised to $250 per month from $150 and his rent of $30.50; six tons of coal last year, and the year before twelve tons. He is the highest paid minister and with the least education of any in the city. He stated that he wanted every member of the congregation to appoint himself a detective in order to catch the party who furnishes The Bee with information. One member stated to The Bee that the man who has the riot fund ought to be arrested for not reporting the same to the people. Mt. Carmel Baptist Church has always been weak in paying a big salary to her pastor. Some of the members are kicking, but the highest salaried minister of color and president of the National Race Congress says that he has made all the report he intends to make concerning the riot fund. CHESTER BROOK NEWS. Mr. and Mrs. John Alexander, of Pittsburgh, Pa., were the guests of her sister, Mrs. Eula Thomas, from Monday until Tuesday. Mrs. Lucy Johnson, who has been visiting relatives in Philadelphia, returned home last, Tuesday. Mr. Lewis Hall and Miss Flora Johnson, both of Chester Brook, were married in Washington last Thursday. The Sunday School held its Easter service last Sunday night, with quite a number present. Mr. Anderson, of Hall's Hill, was among the visitors and gave a very interesting talk, which was enjoyed by all. Mr. Opy Johnson and his brother, of Boston, Mass., were the guests of their brother, Mr. Clifton Johnson, Sr., on Friday. Miss Louvinia Mack is confined to her home on account of illness. Mr. George Hawkins, of Spring Hill, Va., was the guest of his daughter, Mrs. Oscar Carter, on Friday. Mrs. Ruth Thomas, Mrs. Elnora Branch and Mr. James Hall were also among the Easter visitors. Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Carter and their little daughter Olga were the guests of Mrs. Carter's parents for Easter. SOUTHWEST NOTES. Easter Sunday was a gala day in Zion, although the weather was not just as we would have liked for Easter, the church took on new life. Rev. H. J. Callis preached on Christ's message to the women at the sepulchre. The sermon was excellent. The Sunday School exercises were very nicely rendered under the direction of Miss Alice Callis. The choir was at its best in the song service, all doing their part creditably. Christian Endeavor met at the usual hand. Miss Garrison sang a beautiful solo. Among the visitors were Rev. Brown, Mr. A. W. Ricks, Mrs. Stockton, of Rochester, N. Y., and others. The funeral of Sir Knight S. B. Hill took place from Zion Baptist Church Monday, April 5, at 1:30. Felix Lodge and Simon Commandery were in charge. On Tuesday at 1 o'clock, Brother Wm. Chapman, of 319 Third street, was buried. The Hod Carriers' Union turned out in full, and Revs. Howard, Jones and Richards spoke about the vittues of Brother Chapman. We commend the widow and family to God. ATTENTION, CITIZENS!

It is interesting to note how the different organizations and churches have voluntarily consented to lend assistance to the Stoddard Baptist Home, an institution for the aged and infirm, supported principally by the Baptists of this city. A few weeks ago a monster meeting was held at the Howard Theatre under the auspices of the Federation of Men's Clubs, and quite a sum was raised for the benefit of that institution, but before that meeting the Uplift Committee of the Victory Investment Company had made arrangements with the executive committee of the Board of the Stoddard Baptist Home to hold a fair at the Y. M. C. A., Twelfth street branch, April 26 to 30, inclusive, for that institution: The fair has the unqualified endorsement of the churches of all denominations, who will lend their aid and cooperation, while the business men of the city will occupy thirty neatly decorated booths displaying the progress of Washington's leading Negro enterprises. It will be a rare treat to attend all of these exercises and to assist and encourage those who may desire to help this worthy institution. The entire proceeds of the fair will be given to the board for the benefit of the Home. The program, so far as announced, is as follows: Monday night, Church night; program furnished by the board of directors of the Stoddard Baptist Home. Tuesday night, business night; principal address, John W. Lewis, president Industrial Savings Bank. Wednesday night, educational night; principal address, Rev. Geo. O. Bullock, D. D., pastor Third Baptist Church. Thursday night; musical night; music furnished by Howard University Conservatory of Music, under the direction of Prof. Tibbs and Miss Pinkney, and by the Capital City Clef Club, under the direction of Prof. L. T. Thomas. Friday night, victory night; miscellaneous program. In addition to the above-named speakers, the following have consented to appear on one of the five evenings: Robert H. Terrell, judge of the Municipal Court; Rev. D. D. Turpeau, pastor Mt. Zion M. E. Church, Georgetown; Mrs. Julia Mason Layton; W. Calvin Chase, editor of the Washington Bee, and several others who will be announced on the complete program. THE WHITELAW HOTEL.

Epperson, Richmond, Va.; Oscar Micheaux, Chicago, Ill.; Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Skinner, Bath, Me. ANACOSTIA NEWS. Campbell A. M. E. Church's seating capacity was overtaxed on Sunday night. Many came to hear the farewell sermon of Rev. W. H. Manakoo, the pastor, who leaves shortly to attend the A. M. E. Conference.. Mr. Edward Lee, of Morris road, is making extensive improvements to his home. Mr. Lee is very popular at the Bureau of Engraving, where he is employed. The two Scotts, Charles and Columbus, are seen daily returning from their day's work at the Government Printing Office. Neither is related to the other. Both are wide-awake citizens. A comical concert entitled "Mr. Jones and Jenkins," was given on Monday night at the Stanton Avenue M. E. Church, and was much enjoyed by the large audience present. The sick list has been considerably reduced. Those steadily improving are Mr. Geo. W. Mason, Mr. Sharpe, Mrs. Hamilton and Mrs. Zeta Phillips. Mrs. Polly Taylor, the wife of our naval hero, Matt Taylor, spent the entire Easter week in Atlantic City. Mrs. Taylor is a very active worker in the church and in the civic development of our people. There are many owners of autos in this suburb. Some are taking advantage of the good weather by long drives to Silver Hill, Forestville, Oxon Hill and Upper Marlboro, Md. ‘S65 ee ————— AH ' AS . -£ g= . =e PAW wy _ =e ele M Bae RS ee” | F Meee ee A.

[Signature] I have noticed for sometime the interest which you have taken in the National Training School of this city, and I wish to take this opportunity of thanking you in behalf of the community for your many efforts in connection with the building up of this institution. It has grown from a small plant to an institution of influence and power, both in our own community and throughout the country at large. The work being done there by D. Shepard and his associates is worthy of the highest praise, and I feel that his continued efforts, combined with the valuable assistance which you and the other friends of the institution have given it, will inevitably result in furnishing to our State and our country a body of well-trained and efficient negro workers. I understand that you are now contemplating another trip in behalf of the school, and I merely write this letter for the purpose of wishing you all success and abundant results.

ACERTAIN man in New York filled out his income tax report. It showed an income so large that his tax was 53%. And his total gifts to church and charity for the year were $148. Think of it—thousands spent for luxuries and pleasure for himself; and $148 to leave the world a little better than he found it! Most of us do better than that; but not so very much better. Our average daily gift for all church causes is less than we spend for daily papers less than a local telephone call less than a third of the day's car fare less than 3 cents a day No wonder that 80% of the ministers of America are paid less than $20 a week. No wonder that the church hospitals turn away thousands of sick people a year. No wonder that China has only one doctor for every 400,000 people. No wonder that every church board and charity society is forever meeting deficits, forever passing the hat. It isn't because we are selfish; it isn't because we don't want to help. It's just because no one has ever put up a great big program to us, and asked us to think of the work of the church in a systematic businesslike way. The Interchurch World Movement represents the united program of thirty denominations. They have surveyed their whole task, no business could have done it better. They have budgeted their needs; no business could have a more scientific budget. They have united to prevent the possibility of waste and duplication. At least a million dollars will be saved by the fact that thirty individual campaigns are joined in one united effort. And they come to the men or women who love America to you—this week asking you to use them as the channel through which a certain definite part of your income can be be applied to make this a better world. Only you can determine what part of your income that should be. It's a good time right now to answer that question. We're passing through the world just once; how much better will the world be because you passed through?

The Bee is informed that this hand- picked organization: will. pick two delegates and two alternates.

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, 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.

HELPING HAND MOVEMENT. 1 Did you ever wonder why some people have power to accomplish almost anything they undertake and others—yourself, maybe—failed in everything? There is a reason; it may be a hidden, secret reason. The Helping Hand Movement has worked wonders for many years all over the country for both races, both sexes, young and old, and it is the greatest helping power on earth today. It solves every problem, every condition in life; it helps the body by improving your health; it helps the mind and heart by bringing your heart's desires to you, thereby making you happy; it brings you spiritual help and places you in a successful and advanced condition in life. I am patronized by Washington's best people, white and colored, and all are benefited; no one is slighted; all are invited. I heal, I help, I enlighten, I give comfort, I open the way to the realization of all your legitimate, helpful wishes. If you are rich or poor, my great help is extended to you the same. Come to me if you can; if not, write me and let me help you through the great Helping Hand Movement. It is the greatest modern message of health, happiness, prosperity and spiritual service.

LUKE PENNY SAVINGS BANK, WHO HAS BEEN CONFINED TO HER HOME ON ACCOUNT OF SICKNESS FOR MORE THAN TWO YEARS, TESTIFIES TO SOUTHERN AID SERVICE. 515 North First Street, Richmond, Va., March 26, 1920. To Whom It May Concern: I am indeed glad of the opportunity to write a word in regards to this worthy and reliable Company—The Southern Aid Society of Virginia. All of my family are members of it, and whenever sick they have met their obligations promptly, faithfully, and courteously. I have been sick and disabled now for one than two years, and it has been the same in this case. Their representatives always seem happy when meeting their obligations, which causes a sick person to realize that a friend in need is a friend indeed. When one is disabled and receives that which was promised us when we joined, and without unnecessary trouble, it is very beneficial. May they ever continue to prosper, and may God bless them, and bring them much success; that they may continue to do good is the sincere wish and prayer of one who is interested. (Signed) MARY H.
