COLORED REPUBLICANS, THE ONLY TRUE AND LOYAL AMERICANS REPUDIATED. Lily-Whitism Supreme in Chicago—118 Contests—Hitchcock Scored. Chicago, Ill., May 2.—Lily-whitism has made its official pre-convention bow in Chicago, and the city is standing politically agast at the spectacle. Old-timers call it a "sorry sight," and others, more temperate in speech, declare it "an impudent assumption of political authority that cannot but give a freshened impetus to whatever temper of radicalism has, undoubtedly, begun to show its fangs among the younger element of the Negro vote." No one here has been able to put his hand on the fuller significance of this latter declaration. Frank Hitchcock Scored. Frank Hitchcock is being roundly scored on all sides. He is said to be the arch-conspirator in a plan which aims to eliminate the Southern Negro voter as a directing influence in the councils of the party south of the Ohio River. Virginia, Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi and Texas are said to be the fields to which he has given special attention, and where his particular brand of political genius has been exercised with sinister and far-reaching results. His action is said to have been determined by the discovery that the old-time "nigger delegate" is a bird that has flown to the swamps. The jingle of the silver dollars has lost its magic power, and upon the refusal of the "bird" to listen to its siren shimmerings, Mr. Hitchcock lost his temper, called the creature a "damned buzzard," and then hied himself, over, bag and baggage, to the camps of the lily-whites "Small loss," chimed the "birds." "He was double-crossing the Wood people, anyway." One Hundred and Eighteen Contests. One hundred and eighteen contests are to be decided before the big convention gets under way. This is the number that were filed with the National Committee last week. The list includes the Arkansas four, at large, the entire delegation of eight from Florida, fourteen of the seventeen from Georgia, Louisiana's entire delegation of twelve, two from the tenth district of Minnesota, the entire twelve from Mississippi, two from the fourth district of Missouri, six district delegates from Oklahoma, the entire delegation of eleven from South Carolina, two delegates from the sixth district of Tennessee, the four delegates at large and two from the eighth district of Virginia, three sets contesting for two seats for the District of Columbia, the entire delegation of fourteen from Alabama, and the twenty-three from Texas are among the contests to be passed upon. Ninety-nine split votes will also come under the scrutiny of the committee. Delegates Arriving. The advance guard of the delegates is beginning to arrive. Perry W. Howard was among the first to appear. The doughty Mississippi started the fur to flying right off the reel. He made no concealment of his intentions to make it uncomfortable for all and any who questioned his claims to represent his State in the convention. There is no pussy-footing and no whispering in the character of the campaign Howard is waging, and it is believed he will win his fight. Bob Church, from Memphis, urbane and gracious as usual, is also upon the scene fully arrayed in fighting togs of the latest cut. He says but little, yet whenever his contest is mentioned, there comes a momentary flare of indignation to his handsome face which augurs ill for his enemies. Dr. Ferguson and the The Washington Bee rest of the Virginia men came to town Saturday eager for the scrap and they were closely followed by the South Carolina black-and-tans equally ready for the fray. Henry Lincoln Johnson and Ben—Ben himself—got here Tuesday, took off their coats, rolled up their shirt sleeves and calmly announced, "We are here!" By the end of the week the city will be full of fighting delegations, and contests will then be the order of the days until the convention starts. Missouri Will Be Heard From. Bill Hueston—Bill of Kansas City—came to town last Friday. The news he brought from the State that contains St. Louis and other points of interest set the wisecares to wagging their heads. For all that might be otherwise known, Missouri may be the first Commonwealth in the North to be represented in Congress by a Negro. At least the fight is on, and the district threatened with the innovation is the Dwyer district of St. Louis. Of course, this bit of news has little to do with the stress of things in Chicago at this time, and yet it is a ripple that may be the forerunner of a political storm that would startle the entire country if it got under way. Dr. J. A. R. Crossland, of St. Joe, will sit on the Missouri delegation as a delegate-at-large. Presidential Predictions. Leonard Wood still holds first place in the predictions of the knowing ones. Frank O. Lowden lies far back in the considerations of the "colored man and brother," and, when, pressed for a reason, shoulders are shrugged and the matter silently dismissed. Hiram Johnson and Senator Harding have a few ardent admirers on the ground, but their number is negligible, when placed in contrast to the Wood host. Campaign Funds. The campaign fund inquiry is apparently of small importance to the colored men who are here to take a hand in the selection of a candidate Hitchcock's failure to corral the colored delegates is offered as prima facie evidence that campaign funds have not the force of argument with colored men active, in politics that they are alleged to have formerly possessed. A speech of four minutes length delivered to a convention of colored men seems to have been the lodestone which has drawn the colored vote to the Wood banner. This may be an unusual situation, but there it is, and what is to be done about it? HOGAN AND COBB WIN. The Star-Chamber Parlor Delegates Placed on the Temporary Roll. Chicago, Ill., June 2.—The Hogan-Cobb star-chamber, Willard Hotel faction wins. Attorney A. W. Scott and Robert I. Miller made a strong fight. The Bradshaw farce was equal to the Hogan-Cobb sideshow circus. Hogan and Cobb never received the votes of the District of Columbia Republicans. Not one hundred votes were cast for the Hogan-Cobb or the Bradshaw-Murray tickets. Robert I. Miller will call a meeting of local Republicans on his return to Washington. The sentiment is for lilywhitism, no black-and-tan. Every effort here is being directed to eliminate colored Republicans. Henry Lincoln Johnson, Bob Church and Koscoe Simmons are the men who influenced Will H. Hays, the novice in national politics, to support Hogan and Cobb. WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, JUNE 5,1920. VARDAMAN, THE PROPHET. He Sees Southern Menace with Wood in White. House—"Golden Silence" Tightens Tension as Various Legions of "Shock Troops" Gather to Wage Most Momentous Struggle in American Annals—Vardaman Cohorts Among Number—Chicago, the Croesus of the West, Scene of Action. Were it possible to weigh the importance of Vardaman's recent attack upon that eminent American soldier, Major General Leonard Wood, concerning his fitness for the Presidency, it would weigh about as much as it would take to waft a feather through Hades on a beautiful summer day. Coming-at a time when things seem so badly mangled, one would reckon Mr. Vardaman's sudden outburst would drive a deeper wedge than it does into the sharply dented political situation. But there is hardly a ripple, the "Good Old Ship" moving on as serenely as ever. Many are, clamoring for Presidential reverence, and from all indications the biggest gubernatorial setting in the history of the nation can not be much longer deferred. To disqualify any one of the main Republican contestants right now would be suicidal and cause a complete change in line of battle drawn up for the affray scheduled to come off in Chicago in a day or two. Mr. Vardaman, who lives in Mississippi, but who has not been heard of lately, says some very uncomplimentary things about Mr. Wood, and finally concludes it would be an unwise step-to put a man like him in the White House the next four years. Southern democracy would be embarrassed, the country inadequately run and national disaster would follow. He further advises the South to repudiate any effort that would sanction the election of this popular candidate and support such an aspirant as Senator Hiram Johnson, who knows better what to do with the race question, because his experience in his home State, California, has taught him, in dealing with Japanese how to discriminate and use subtle means to engender sectional feeling. The general's views on this burning issue are not attractive to Mr. Vardaman, and there is some doubt in his mind as to how the South would fare should the Wood cohorts carry the day. This cross of gold and crown of thorn logic, sustaining the contention of this erratic Mississippian, contains just such venom expected from that class who whittle their moments away, placing upon the screen arguments ridiculously absurd as the ones under present observation. The American voter needs no bodyguard, nor will he have one. The question does not involve color, party, religion, or advice, but the use of their own free will to handle and decide, as only human intelligence can aid will when the occasion demands. Most of the delegates going to either convention have the word "uninstructed" written across their credentials, and simple reasoning would venture the belief that Vardaman or no one else will have such far-reaching influence as to dictate what candidate would be preferable in the final hours to those men and women, who are fully conscious of their duty. HOWARD THEATRE. Clarence E. Muse Surpasses Richard Mansfield—He Received the Greatest Ovation of His Dramatic Career at the Howard—Master of Histrionic Art. Last Monday evening Clarence E. Muse, the greatest colored actor in America and a protege of William Burke Townsend, was given a royal ovation. Mr. Muse assumed the character of Dr. Jekyll and Mr Hyde. His acting was something re- After the introduction of the other queens by the sweet little Queen of Peace and Purity, Miss E. M. Wesley, the pageant marched to the armory, where it made a most picturesque appearance. We cannot too highly commend the Indian gypsy, the English and the French queens, with their lords and attendants, because of the graphic manner in which they depicted the nations which they represented. Miss Hilda Russell, the gypsy queen, wore an elaborate gypsy costume, as did her maids, Misses West, Langston and Ollie Kibble. Miss Emma Dean, the Indian queen, with her braves and maids, was no naturally costumed that it caused one to imagine that he was on the Western frontier instead of in the Dunbar Centre. If both of these queens had had the natural woods for a setting, we would have thought them real inhabitants of the Western frontier. II. M III. M enjoyed. The eroned b of Jones Centre. markable and sensational... in his lightning changes from Dr. Jekyll to Mr. Hyde. Not only is Mr. Muse the master of this great play; but the master of every character he assumes. His portrayal of the two characters mystified his audience. His dignified bearing, his affectionate embrace of Agnes Carew, which character was taken by Miss Evelyn Ellis, and his change to that of a villain could not be surpassed by Mr. Mansfield, who claims to be the peer in these two characters. This great American actor is master of his profession. There is only one Clarence E. Muse. Doctor-Lawyer Arthur Simmons was pleasing and effective. Miss Ellis must get away from that sameness in her speech. Miss Charlotte Freeman as Rebecca More, is an example of what The Bee writer would convey. Miss Freeman got entirely away from herself. She played the character. Will Cook as Officer O'Reilly caused a great deal of merriment. Mr. Cook is always good. He threw ginger into his character, which was laughable, while Mr. Muse almost made your hair stand like quills on a porcupine. Charles Olden had no opportunity to demonstrate his master mind and acting. His character as Gabriel Atkinson was all that could be expected. J. Francis Mores as inspector of police was dignified, and his acting was good. He never fails. Those who have not seen Mr. Muse in "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" should not miss seeing him. The music by the new orchestra was good. Next week the Smarter Set Company will appear. Order your tickets at once. The demand is great. UNDERGOES AN OPERATION. Mr. John Middleton, 2142 Ward place northwest, recently underwent a very serious operation, performed at home by the Drs. Curtis, which proved very successful. Mr. Middleton is improving very fast. PAGEANT-DANSANT. On last Thursday evening a very pleasant and beautiful entertainment in the form of a pageant and dansant was given at Dunbar Civic Centre, under the auspices of the original Parent-Teachers' Association. It was one of those splendid family entertainments characteristic of those given by the Alfred Jones School, where children, mothers, grandmothers and their friends meet for educational recreation and wholesome pleasure because of the lofty ideals for which the school stands. In the procession were Miss Gladys Jones, the English queen; Miss Beatrice Wood, the French queen, and other queens with all the grace and dignity of the nations they represented. Messrs. William Dean, Junior Dean, J. L. Jones and A. Diggs deserve particular mention because they took their parts as lords in a highly pleasing and credible manner. Mr. Geo. Hansyn's splendid orchestra of ten instruments enlivened the occasion, which the large crowd [Picture of a man in a suit with a bow tie]. Professor Wm. H. H. Hart, A. M. LL.

Brown, equipment race; J. F. Lane, best drilled squad; second squad of band, highest aggregate, score in gallery practice; L. Cheatem, best drilled individual; C. H. Couch, highest points in gallery practice. Captain D. K. Cherry, Lieutenant, George B. Love and Sergeant L. P. Byarn were judges. The commencement address was delivered by Rev. Dr. Charles E. Stewart, pastor of Ebenezer A. M. E. Church, Baltimore, Md., who chose for his subject, "The Sweetness of Struggle." The speaker very pointedly urged the graduating class to make opportunities where none exist; if a door of progress is closed, open one if it does not open of its own accord. President James B. Dudley urged the cooperation of the alumni and friends in getting for the college a badly needed agricultural building, another large dormitory, and much larger maintenance. This college has not had its maintenance funds increased since 1915, and the institution feels very keenly, this shortage of money since prices have more than doubled since that time. The college is suffering many embarrassments for lack of amounts needed to meet growing and economic demands. He further urged a back-to-the-farm movement to prevent a recurrence in this country of a threatened food shortage and any crisis which might bring to this nation some of the embarrassments which have come to devastated Russia. One of the remarkable features of the industrial exhibit is the operation of a test pump, a steam engine and a gasoline engine, all made and assembled in the mechanical department of the college by students taking the course in machine shop practice. These engines were molded from aluminum gathered from automobile scrap heaps and steel from old stack steel, wiring being used for making the bolts. Each engine develops from one to three horsepower. These engines attracted large crowds to witness their operation. A dynamo of like construction was also in operation. C. H. Grant, A. Tynes and R. W. Lesueur demonstrated these engines. The summer school of the college begins its session June 21, when a large enrollment is expected. "THE SMARTER SET."

What this country needs more than anything else, and what this city in particular needs, is more mirth and less grouch. It will improve not only the general health of the city; but the business interests as well. The glad hand is worth ten dollars a shake, while a thousand dollars worth of business is driven away from your establishment by the "frosty mit" and frozen face. Why is it that so many business houses, from the proprietor, to the cash boy, think they are doing you a favor by waiting on you? They actually show a supposed condescension in taking your money. The pretty fellow who pulls down twelve per week behind the counter waits on the man with an income of a hundred per week with a glassy stare and a visible air of superiority which is really funny to a normal being. If you will take the trouble to cast your eye on the audience while enjoying "The Smarter Set" in their new and original musical creation, "The Children of the Sun" next week at the Howard Theatre, you will see the usual sight of the lordly twelve dollar clerk and the humble millionaire laughing in unison, mindful of the awful chasm that separates them. Say, bo, try the dope laugh and have the glad hand ready for all comers and see the kale it's bring to your coffers. For the love of Mike, grab your wife in one hand and the price of a pair of seats in the other and breeze down to the Howard and be prepared to laugh your blamed heads off.

SEEIN' THINGS AT NIGHT IN ALEXANDRIA, VA Well, well, Alexandria, Va., spent one sleepless night—all because they had tried to lynch a colored prisoner. They compelled the humble and compliant jailer and sheriff to allow them to search the jail. They did not find the Negro; he had been taken away. Aud then someone phoned from Washington that a mob of 200 Negroes was planning to cross the Potomac and pay Alexandria a visit. Alexandria immediately lost its nerves. To go after one Negro, handcuffed and jailed, was to be a picnic. But the idea of 200 Negroes, unhandcuffed and armed, was panic. There was the greatest excitement. All the town stirred. Soldiers were sent for. Soldiers can always be had when the white mob gets into distress. Every sort of weapon was displayed, from a pick-axe to a machine gun. The streets resounded with the clash of arms, and autos bristled with artillery. Alexandria kept sleepless eyes turned on the bridge heads of the Potomac, and jumped every time a leaf, rustled or a meteor flashed. Now, why was Alexandria so tolerant of the white mob and so afraid of the mere suggestion of a Negro mob? The nervous state of these white people at the prospect of a Negro mob much smaller than their own ought to cause them to reflect on what must be the condition of the helpless colored folk when white mobs are holding the streets and every black face is for the time outlawed. The colored people have no soldiers to help them. This white mob had outraged the State and ravished civilization by taking possession of the jail and upsetting law. But this same State, which had just been outraged, immediately rushed soldiers to the aid of these men when the mere imaginary ghost of a Negro counter mob filled the air. But the mob got at least one night's dose of its own medicine. It suffered one whole night of "preparedness" and of real "watchful waiting" and wakeful watching. The Negroes did not come. They had never planned to come. So far in the history of the United States, Negroes have only mobbed and rioted on the defensive. As a group they always observe the law, except when they are forced back through despair to the more primary law of self-defense. "The wicked flee when no man pursueth." Yes; and although the wicked flee when no man pursues, Alexandria proves that they can make much better time when they at least think that somebody is about to pursue. WASHINGTON ELEMENTARY TEACHERS' UNION The fourth quarterly meeting of the Washington Elementary Teachers' Union, composed of grade teachers employed in the colored schools of this city, was held on Tuesday last. A review of the year's work, showing that under the administration of Mr. Edward H. Lawson the union had accomplished much constructive work was reviewed in the reports of officers and committee chairmen. The union has actively participated in efforts to secure for teachers better salaries and a more direct voice in matters vitally affecting them. It has had delegates in attendance upon the convention of the General Federation of American Teachers held in Chicago last December and upon the convention held by the locals of the Eastern States; it has contributed articles to the "American Teacher"; it has gathered to itself practically all of the elementary teachers; its financial status is very sound, and it is in position for broader and better work another year. The election of officers was held. Owing to pressure of other business, Mr. Lawson would not permit the use of his name as a candidate. Others of the officers also found themselves unable to serve another term, though their services had been very satisfactory. The following officers were elected: Mrs. Marie Madre Marshall, president; Mr. A. P. Brent, vice president; Miss C. C. Thomas, treasurer; Miss J. L. Dandridge, secretary. SLANDER ON THE RACE. Washington, D. C., May 22, 1920. Editor of The Bee: I desire to express through your fair columns a solemn protest against a part of the exhibition staged in the sideshow by the great Barnum Bailey Ringling Brothers' Circus. I refer to the attraction, exhibiting "Congo" and "Sally," the former a human being and the latter a female chimpanzee, under conditions partially typifying American home life. This attraction is advertised as the discovery of the missing link in the Darwinian theory. Deeply interested in science, I visited the sideshow for purposes of observation. I saw! What greeted my eyes in connection with this particular attraction was the coarsest, vilest and most debasing spectacle I ever beheld. There, on one side of the tent, in the form of an animal cage with walls and roof of sheet metal and iron bars, stood an American living room on wheels, bearing on its forefront the following bold inscription: "Congo, the lowest type of African; Sally, the highest type of simian." Within and in the foreground were to be seen Congo and Sally, standing out in bold relief against a background most highly suggestive of the marital relation. The cage is a one-room affair. In the foreground is a low chair for Congo, who, while I was in the show, sat there wide open—eyes, ears, mouth, legs and all—in full view of the dazed throng, giving look for look and stare for stare, wholly indifferent, to the crowd's silent contempt for his painful degeneracy. To the right of and just beyond Congo in the cage stood a low seat or stool for Sally; a little further a small trunk and bed, apparently for both, and against the rear wall, just beyond the middle, stood a washing machine, a mute reminder of the place in society for both. These few articles comprised the complete parlor and bedroom equipment of this primitive couple, with the exception of a long draw-curtain for the front of the cage, which could easily be closed should developments within become too shocking even for the modesty of a hardened showman. During, the fifteen-minute intervals between the speech-making tours of the man employed to explain the different attractions, Sally, the female-beast consort of the caged human being, would either sit in her low chair or stretch out on the cage floor not far from Congo, her African paramour. At the command of her keeper, which she seemed to understand perfectly, to go over and love her "honey boy," this beast of the jungle of the feminine gender would, with outstretched arms, rise and go to her "honey baby," throw her brawny and hairy arms around his neck and embrace him in the most affectionate manner. Then would occur the most sickening part of the whole performance. Congo, apparently anticipating her approach, would open wide his capacious mouth, within which could be plainly seen a set of the most filthy teeth, and from which he would poke out a large, hideous looking tongue, which Sally would take into her mouth and suck. After this revolting introduction to the scene designed, as claimed by the speaker, to prove, contrary to accepted theory, that the chimpanzee really possesses human affection, Congo's tongue would be withdrawn from the mouth of this female beast, when Sally's turn came to stick her mouth in between the man's beefish lips, and again the sickening spectacle of swapping spit between man and beast would be repeated. I have been far and wide, seen and read much of men and things, but must confess that this sideshow attraction of Congo and Sally, the former a human being and the latter an ape, apparently living together as man and wife, is the grossest and most offensive public insult to a Christian nation I have ever known. Nothing I have ever read or heard of in the wildest dervishes of any primitive people in any land, age, or clime, exceeds this infamy in vileness of conception, baseness of execution, brazen effrontery, and debasement of our cherished Christian ideals of human life. Sounding the greatest depths of human depravity, where man is made to meet beast on a common social level, the circus people are allowed to drag up and display before our Christian gaze the vilest picture of human depravity—a picture veritably steeped in and reeking with the rottenest slime of vice and shame. In permitting a show like this to make the rounds of our fair land, sowing wherever it goes the blighting seeds of discord and hate and kindling anew the fires of race prejudice, is it to be conceded that we have reached a stage in our civilizezd life where justice has fled to brutish beasts and the nation has lost its reason? The echo answers "Have we?" I pause for reply. Yours for humanity, N. E. Weatherless, Head of Science Department, Dunbar High School, D. C.

The Bee—Franklin 5992 Chase's Law Office—Main 4078 Entered at the Postoffice at Washington, D. C., as second-class mail matter ESTABLISHED 1880 THE BEE'S FORTY-FIRST BIRTHDAY. Today The Bee enters upon its forty-first birthday. It extends its thanks and gratitude to its patrons and the people. The Bee has followed certain rules and regulations, as follows: first. It has allowed the knockers to knock. Second. They have knocked to success. Third. It has no faded circulation, but directs its readers to the events. They don't lie. Fourth. Within a few months the people will be proud of The Bee. The Bee congratulates itself on its success and extends its thanks to those who have supported it throughout those long forty years of trials, toils and tribulations. The Bee today enters into its forty-first year. SENATOR PAT HARRISON. The Bee, since its existence, never thought that the South could produce a Democratic Senator who would be fair enough to give justice and fair play to an ostracized and disfranchised race. But it is mistaken. The speech of Senator Pat Harrison of Mississippi and the conduct of his investigation of the public schools in this city have convinced the world, and especially the colored people, that a Democratic Senator from the South, and the State of Mississippi at that, has produced a man and scholar who is fair and just enough to deal fairly and justly with all Americans, regardless of color and condition. His speech in the Senate on the school investigation, delivered Thursday evening, May 26th ult., was a true and real exposition of a true and real American. Notwithstanding what the investigation developed, Senator Pat Harrison didn't express any venom against the most flagrant testimony of those who endeavored to hide the truth and smother the gross irregularities that were developed in the testimony. The Bee, as its readers will testify, has for years declared that our public schools needed to be investigated and reorganized. The investigation showed that the present Superintendent of Schools was the favorite of the people and the choice of those who taught under his administration. Dr. Thurston, as the editor of The Bee testified before the Senate Committee, was the true guardian of the teachers and protected them against the imposition of wrongdoing. Many a qualified and deserving teacher has suffered and felt the sting of those whose selfish desires and ambitions was to dismiss those teachers who refused to be tools of those who were willing to do the dirty work for others. It was this calm and piercing questioning of Senator Harrison that forced those who tried to hide the truth to tell the real facts in this recent investigation. The report of the Committee was unanimous, and its findings were just as The Bee predicted they would be—the abolition of the present Board of Education. The Committee recommended the retention of Dr. Thurston, and commended that great educator, Dr. Lucy Moten, who is responsible for the erection of the greatest colored Normal School in the United States. This noble woman was handicapped equally as much as Dr. Thurston, and it was her determination that made the colored Normal School what it is today. There were hidden influences and treachery that have been wrought against her for a number of years, and it was Dr. Thurston who stood between this principal and the enemy. The Bee understands that Dr. Moten has tendered her resignation. It is hoped that it will not be accepted. It has been through the persistent opposition of this great and noble woman that libertines and prostitutes have been kept out of this school. Senator Harrison's memory shall be perpetuated and his good work shall be inscribed in the book of fame. All honor to Mississippi and her great Senator, Pat Harrison! It is surprising to see with what complacency the hand-picked alleged bona fida Republican Central Committee conducted its election of hand-picked delegates to the National Republican Convention. This same organization, four years ago, criticized fraud, and declared that the delegates of 1916 were elected by fraud, where, in fact, the most notorious bull-dozing ever witnessed, was laid at the door of these parlor delegates. What have we today? Three separate organizations and three elections on three different slates. Can such a record in politics be beaten? Not by any means. This set of delegates declared for suffrage, but submitted its claims to the bona fida voters, and that one was the Miller and Scott ticket. They all voted for suffrage, and when they were asked to submit their claims to the voters, they were afraid to do so. The Democratic party is charged with denying the Colored Republicans the rights of franchising, and right here at the Capital of a great nation, a star chamber election was held and the rights of all citizens to vote was denied them. Can the National Republican Convention seat either the Bradshaw or the Hogan ticket? What a reflection it will be to the fair name of the Nation's Capital. The Miller and Scott ticket is the only logical and bona fida ticket. Over three thousand votes were cast for this ticket. Neither of the other two tickets cast three hundred votes. Not a public meeting was held by either of the two tickets named, except in rooms and parlors where the bona fida voters were prohibited from entering. It is the biggest farce that has ever been exhibited, where teachers of institutions were picked as delegates, and the willing dupes responded to the invitations. Not one of the entire number could be elected as a street sweeper. There is everything in a name when that name carries weight. But, will someone inform The Bee of the weight these hand-picked delegates carry? Information reaches us that if the Republicans win, the National Committeeman will have the privilege of naming all of the plums and dishing them out to the favorites. HOWARD UNIVERSITY. Howard University is today upon the map. Its fame is far and near. Dr. Emmett J. Scott, as secretary, is doing great work for this institution. President Durkee has a duty to perform, and he must do it fearlessly and quickly. Get rid of the drones and conspirators in and around this great institution. There are enemies within the University as well as around it. The Bee congratulates the institution on its recent acquisitions, Dr. Albert Bushnell Hart, professor of science and government in Harvard University, and Dr. Charles R. Brown, Yale University, as members of the trustee board. SENATOR PAT HARRISON. The Bee doesn't know of a better man for President of the United States than Senator "Pat" Harrison of Mississippi. He would make an ideal President. He is against lynching, and all forms of brutality. He is a true American and can be trusted with the destinies of the nation. It is men with The Bee, and not parties; but men who are representatives of true American principles. The time has arrived for colored Americans to face the actual facts and meet the real issue. No use in all of this waste of effort and means in protesting and agitating unless it has the right sort of direction and is headed right in the matter of getting the desired result. What has brought our woes and wrongs in the Southern states? The answer is, repression. What has been the author of this repression? The answer is, the Southern democracy. What, finally, brought our elimination from voice in government in the South? The answer is, the Southern democracy. The democracy of the South disfranchised the race. The situation has grown worse, in recent years, because the democratic party is in power, and it could not be in power but for the fact that the Southern democracy and a few other states in the North and West put the democratic party in power. The Southern democracy is in the saddle by the help of the votes of Northern democrats. A vote for the democratic party in the North means the control of the nation by the Southern democracy. This being true, as it is true, then a vote for the democratic party in the North means fostering the party of political slavery in the South. It is upholding and strengthening it. It is making its methods and practices and propaganda more powerful. This being true, as it is true, what benefit is it to the race to join in with Northern democrats in agitating against disfranchisement and lynching? The only way to hit the wrongs of the South is to smash the Southern democracy and its system. The only way to stop its propaganda to uphold its disfranchisement and its lynchings is to restore real democracy in the South and let, the plain people, whites and blacks, vote, and this would mean the going out of business of the Southern political autocracy. These so-called "good" Northern democrats, who profess friendship for the race, know this. Then are they not; in their agitating for our rights, merely doing a sort of "German" propaganda to convince us they are our only outspoken friends, while they say much to dissatisfy us with the republican party through saying ing what the party failed to keep the democrats from doing? True it is that the federal government has not, as yet, enforced the Constitution in these democratic Southern states that have outlawed it, but the republican party has not jim-crowed and disfranchised and lynched and peonized in Northern republican states; it has not advocated and upheld these wrongs by a propaganda. No man of the colored race has any rights in the South that a Southern democrat does not spurn and spit upon. This is not true of the republican states of the North. It is plain as day, too, that the only hope of the race in getting the wrongs of the race righted is through national public sentiment finding expression in legislation enacted by the republican party. Party leaders are now turning toward this, as never before, and it behooves the race to turn their work and their intelligent effort to bring this about and not waste time and money fooling with uplifters and problem solvers, who vote one way and protest another. Better work in with and work up with the republican party leaders. These men have learned that the disfranchisement laws were enacted to foster the rule of the South by an autocracy and that this condition affects both races alike; that it cuts out whites and blacks; that it is not a race problem. The issue in the South is just one of plain United States Government, as Joseph C. Manning says, and the Washington Bee has agreed with his view all the while. The Bee also agrees that this is not a Negro problem, but one that concerns all the people of the entire nation, as it is unfair, a travesty on government, for a handful of machine democrats in a Southern state to exercise representation for a vast disfranchised people and then rule the nation through this sort of political outlawry. The Washington Bee urges leading men of the race to stop fooling with this condition and face the facts and the issue. The way out is political action, and the only hope for favorable political action is in and through the republican party. We must realize, again, that the approach to our rights is at the angle of attack upon those who have denied us our rights and not by attacking those to whom we must look for the overthrow of this Southern autocracy. We must approach this issue, too, from the broad viewpoint that not only does it work injury to the race, but affects others than ourselves, and with these forces we join in to correct an unjust condition for the common good. Stop trying to segregate the race in this fight. These are the things that Joseph C. Manning has been saying all these years and that the Washington Bee has been endorsing, for this paper recognized the sensible, forceful and truthful position Manning has taken. The Bee insists upon a campaign, intelligently directed, to cause the republican party to meet this issue of voice in government. With voice in government, with the ballot as a protection, we are a long way toward safety from jim-crowism and insult of legislative discriminations. It is the only groundwork for a better day, and we had better concentrate and not longer scatter our forces and misdirect our influence and energy. The Southern democracy once had the race in human slavery. It now has the race in political slavery. Southern propaganda has greatly harmed the colored race North. The republican party overthrew human slavery. It is this party of the North that must be looked to to overthrow political slavery. It is beginning now to see that this must be done, and it is our duty to encourage this inclination and disposition. It is suicidal not to adopt a wise and prudent policy. It is mon cause of those wronged by the aggression of the Southern political autocracy, while we ought to know that, in fact, this great question has grown to where it is above one of a mere race problem. All persons who have recently made trips either into or out of the South and have been required to submit to discriminatory accommodations on account of race or color, are requested to write a brief account of their experiences and forward the same to George H. Murray at 928 S street northwest; Washington, D. C. Where there has been an opportunity to compare the accommodations given to those offered to white persons paying the same fare, mention in detail of the same will be appreciated. Kindly specify in writing the date on which the trip was made; the destination, if it crossed state lines; whether you were refused dining, parlor or sleeping car service, and the line or lines on which the trip was made. The information will be treated as confidential, if it is so desired. THE ALLEGED CENTRAL REPUBLICAN COMMITTEE. When it was announced that a Republican Central Committee would have charge of the election of delegates from this city to the National Republican Convention, The Bee was under the impression, and so were the rank and file of the Republican party in the District of Columbia, that the announcement referred to the old Republican Central Committee of which Mr. Aaron Bradshaw is chairman and not the hand-picked, lily-white, star-chamber Republican committee in name and on paper: The Bee will wager its hive to a cut of honey that there is not one member of that hand-picked committee, let him be a banker or a millionaire, who could be elected by the Republican voters in this city if he were thrown out on his own resources. There is only one elective Republican committee in this city, the National Republican Committee to the contrary notwithstanding; and the voters at the proper time will demonstrate the difference between a recently constituted lily-white organization and an elective Central Republican Committee that has been in existence since the time when the "memory of man runneth not to the contrary." There are several men who are candidates for delegate under this hand-picked committee—men who figure in politics only when an office is in sight, who are known as business failures or colored apologists. The hand-picked National Committeeeman could no more be elected to the position in which he was placed than Julius Caesar could resurrect and meet Jack Johnson on his return from Mexico. That is going some, The Bee must confess. Does Mr. Will Hayes, the National Chairman, hope to elect a Republican President by a star chamber and parlor voters? Or does he expect or want the votes of the real voters in the country? This new hand-picked committee came into existence about two years ago when its members were convinced that it would be impossible for them to be elected by the suffrage of the Republican voters in this city. It is true that the rank and file of the Republicans in this city are colored and have been loyal and faithful to the Republican party, while many of this hand-picked committee would never own the Republican party, like many of the lily-whites in the South who have caused so much political dissension among both the colored Republicans and the Democratic party. The Republican voters will put it up to the National Republican Convention to choose between lilywhitism and the real Republican party in this city. THE NATIONAL FORUM. brains as well as brawn. The visiting pitcher in the first game did well, but had nothing on Johnny Jones, his rival. The management and the club deserve our compliments for furnishing us with a good day's recreation. Whether the eighteenth amendment to the Federal Constitution should or should not be repealed, has brought quite a number of orators and others interested in this vital topic to the Forum, and at the meeting held May 20 the discussion took very wide range. Those opposed to repeal insisted that the amendment was one of the best and most far-reaching for good that had been added to the Federal Constitution, and should remain as a part of the organic law of the land. Those in favor of repeal contended that the amendment unjustly abridged the liberty of the people, and that neither the amendment nor any prohibition law passed by Congress, pursuant thereto would, in fact, really prohibit. The affirmative forces were led by Mr. T. J. Gordon, and the negative by Mr. M. W. Watson. Other speakers for repeal were Messrs; H. A. Ronsaville, J. Yates, A. Freeman, A. M. Lee and T. H. Smith; opposed to repeal were: Messrs. O. E. Jones, Rev. M. L. Breeding and John Tolson. For lost manhood, nervousness, seminal weakness, nightly emissions, debility and impotence.

Gordon gave notice that he would bring to the attention of the Forum a very interesting matter at the meeting on Thursday, June 19, at 8 p. m. FALLS CHURCH WINS FROM ALEXANDRIA. The Alexandria baseball team met its Waterloo in Falls Church on Decoration Day, in two games. The first went to the home team after an uphill fight by the score of 9 to 8, and the second game, after six innings of play, tallied 12 to 5. No more remarkable finish from the home team's standpoint could have been put in story form. After one bad inning, in which Alexandria scored five runs, making a score of 8 to 3, the Falls Church boys rallied in the seventh and made their count 7, and with two men on and two men out and two strikes and three balls registered, Newton Dixon, of Falls Church, in the last half of the ninth, hit for two bases and won the game. It was all a case of too much Alexander in the second game, for such was the name of the Falls Church pitcher. The boys from the sleeping village for the most art took three healthy atmospheric disturbers and retired to the realms of innocuous desuetude.

Charleston, W. Va., May 27.—The twenty-fifth annual commencement of the West Virginia Collegiate Institute took place at Institute, W. Va., yesterday. The day was beautiful, and the attendance of graduates was the largest in the history of the institution. State officials from the governor down graced the occasion. The address to the graduates, seventy in number, was delivered by Judge Robert H. Terrell, of Washington, D. C. His subject was "Education and Character." The degree of bachelor of arts was conferred on six graduates. The others were normal and academy graduates. Many valuable prizes were bestowed on graduates and students who had distinguished themselves in one way or another during the academic year. There were several prizes of $50 each and of $25 each, all of which were given by colored people. The president of the college is Prof. John W. Davis, formerly secretary of the Y. M. C. A. in Washington, D. C. His administration here has been eminently successful, and the people of West Virginia have expressed great satisfaction over his management of the affairs of the institute and predict for the school a big future under his guidance. Mr. Van Schaack. Sir: What do you think of yourself now? What do you think the community thinks of you? What do you think of the child race, of the shellgame people?

If Jim Cobb would submit his claim to the people, he would then see just how he stood with them. This reminds me of the most remarkable address of Mr. Owen and his associate on Monday at Adams' Inn, formerly Pittman's retreat. A. Philip Randolph and Chandler Owen are modern philosophers, notwithstanding what other people may say or think of them. These two men belong to a new leadership, a leadership that commands respect and assistance from the masses. This old leadership must die. This is a new generation of patriots. Both the Republican and Democratic parties, as I have always said, are the same. So these gentlemen have not given us anything new in that line. But, aside from that, their doctrine is new. They speak as no other colored men have spoken. The colored voter can expect nothing from either political party. He has been the slave of both and the tool of one in addition. Rev. W. H. Jernagin, of the National Race Congress, is awfully worried about Rev. Willbanks. This preacher-politician is unable to sleep. He has been suffering from "Willbanks hysteria," a new affliction of the brain and heart. It is rumored that Rev. Jernagin will soon ask for a $350 raise in salary. He is of the opinion that his services are worth five times as much, but when he was in Oklahoma and Mississippi he was jubilant and satisfied when he received "$600, per. Now, speaking of Rev. Jernagin and his Race Congress, I understand that will soon disband, as it has outlived its usefulness. The National Race Congress is a thing of the past. *** Now, if a bill is passed by Congress reducing the Board of Education to six, two of whom are to be colored, I would suggest the name of Mrs. Annie Murray as the female member. Let the Parents' League make Mrs. Murray its candidate. No woman in this city is better qualified for the place. The male member of the board to be associated with a female member should be a man not identified with any faction, nor should he be a Boule or a Blue Bird. Now, there is my good friend, Dr. James E. Shepard, of Durham, N. C. No man has ever been born more congenial than he is. He is a wonder: He has one of the greatest plants in the South. He secured this plant by and through his own efforts. He is a man who never gets excited. He has been knocked, but he never knocks anyone. There is Emmett J. Scott. He is a most congenial individual, and no doubt he has been misunderstood. To know him is to appreciate his services. Speaking of public men, my good friend Ralph W. Tyler is no man's slave. He has no favorites. He is a man. The signs of the times tend to show the ultimate success of the Socialist party. That party will triumph some day. No one ever thought that the people would be "fools" enough to allow prohibition to triumph. **** Senator Harrison, in his speech in the Senate on the school question, pictured Dr. Hayden Johnson in the limelight. I wonder what he thinks of himself now. Of course, the colored people always had their thoughts of him. My friend Byars is doing a great deal of thinking nowadays. He doesn't talk much, but I think he will. He knows how to give the people what they want. I am glad to see him and all other theatrical magnates come together.

HITCHCOCK'S TRAIL LEFT PARTY DISRUPTION Mistakes of the Roosevelt Administration Entailed to the Wood Presidential Candidacy. Put forward as the rightful heir to the Roosevelt political heritage, claimed by his supporters as the friend of Roosevelt most entitled to the mantle of the former President, supporters of General Wood rather proceed to emphasize the political mistakes of the Roosevelt machine rather than to embody the splendid features which went to give name and fame to Roosevelt. Taking up Frank Hitchcock as a political general of the Wood candidacy does not serve to impress Republicans who would prefer to forget that the eight years of Demoractic control of the national administration of government can be directly attributed to the methods employed through Hitchcock in bringing about the nomination of Taft in 1908. This procedure was the beginning of the end of Republican control at Washington. The year 1907 had not passed out before the machinery of the Republican party was being employed together with the power of the administration, to dictate the Roosevelt succession in the White House. Taft was then in no sense a popular choice. To insure his nomination it was necessary to pursue certain tactics with regard to political manipulation in the South which was nothing short of scandal. It will be recalled that not a single delegate from the South contested by the Hitchcock-McHarg slate of officeholding manipulators was permitted a seat in the 1908 national convention. The machines in the South created by Hitchcock did not overlook contesting every seat where there was Taft opposition, and the. Taft supporters were seated by the notorious steam-roller tactics. It was absurd to claim that only Taft contests had merit. It was the application of the Hitchcock strong-arm methods, so ruthlessly exercised in 1908, that then and there planted the seed of discord leading up to final party disruption. That cry of fraud arising in 1912 was without the gravity of fact behind it comparable to the actual grounds for complaint as against the procedure of 1908. The facts are furthermore, that the 1912 delegates from the South for Tait were almost the same in personnel as were the 1908 Taft delegates, while they were sent to the national convention of 1912 by the same political machinery and leadership built up by the Hitchcock-McHarg activity in 1908. It will be recalled that McHarg undertook to make progress in undoing his 1908 work in 1912, but his former political material had committed itself to Taft. It is also a fact that the Southern conventions had acted, in most part, before the fight to nominate Roosevelt in 1912 had gotter well under way. Those contesting delegations brought forward and championed by McHarg in 1912 were so absolutely without merit that it was finally admitted that they were made for the political effect it would have in bracing up the extravagant claims of the Roosevelt managers. Delegates unseated in 1908 to make way for the Hitchcock manipulation did have merit, and that strong-arm and roughneck political procedure engineered by Hitchcock is something that Republican leaders would like to forget rather than have brought to the front again as a result of this thing of having the Wood management again reliant upon such leadership as exampled and put forward in 1908. Republican voters are fearful of party success, the consequences to arise from strong-arm political work are creating a serious apprehension, and this is no time for the Hitchcock type of leadership. There is a feeling throughout the country among Republican voters that problems of domestic concern, preparedness in the battle of life and meeting the requirements and the necessities of human existence are uppermost in the public mind. The people are tired of this war talk and this military surcharged atmosphere. What is desired, too, is a Republican President who will be content to be no greater than his country or bigger than the party to which he is indebted for election to that high office. We have laid enough of political autocracy in the White House. Any man with the training of an autocrat, without legislative experience or personal qualities essential to harmonious relationship in the teamwork required in working out beneficial results as to the problems of our Government, has no business being wedged into the White House through the machinations of professional political wire pullers whose activity is being backed by finance which uses party affiliation for selfish aims and not for patriotic ends. An example of the failure of finance to elect, of strong-arm political procedure to succeed, whatever the financial resource, is afforded in the Mitchel campaign for the mayoralty of New York. This particular case of the employment of finance and the overworking of so-called patriotism in the promotion of a candidacy for high office ought to be sufficient to halt the operations of the Wood moneybund.

Atlanta, Ga., June 2.—Before audiences that have packed to overflowing at every session the large auditorium of the Bethel A. M. E. Church, the eleventh annual session of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is being held in Atlanta. Mayor Key and Rev. M. Ashby Jones, both of Atlanta, welcomed the conference at this session. At every session it has been necessary to turn away large numbers of people who were anxious to hear what is being said at this first convention of the association that has ever been held in a Southern city. Nor have they been disappointed. Between four and five hundred delegates and members are present from all parts of the country, representing nearly 100,000 members in 328 branches in forty-three States. Every speaker has cast aside the usual practice of avoiding fundamentals and has stated in unequivocal terms the demands of the Negro. terms the definition. The keynote of the conference was given by James Weldon Johnson, field secretary, in his address at the opening session on Sunday afternoon, when he enunciated the following five points as cardinal: First, the Negro's untrammeled right to the ballot; second, national suppression of lynching; third, equal educational and industrial opportunity; fourth, abolishment of "jim-crow" cars; fifth, ending of segregation in Federal, civil service.

Mr. Bagnall declared that the migration northward of Negroes was caused by lynching disfranchisement, "jim-crow" cars, unequal educational advantages and injustice in the courts, and that if the South ever hoped to check the migratory movement, it would be done only by giving the Negro every right and privilege accorded other sign.

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. Dr. Parker pays special attention to cases of female troubles and troubles of the eyes.

ROBERT OGDEN HONORED AT HAMPTON INSTITUTE By Wm. Anthony Aery. Hampton, Va., May 13.—Dr. James E. Gregg, principal of Hampton Institute, who presided at the dedication of "Ogden Hall," read the following letter from Dr. Edwin A. Alderman, president of the University of Virginia: "I want to send to the institute, on this anniversary, not only the expression of my own interest and faith, but the assurances of sympathy and good will and desire for cooperation of the University of Virginia, which is soon to celebrate its one hundredth anniversary. "The founding of Hampton Institute was a great spiritual, social and patriotic achievement. The story of its life is the story of heroic, intelligent, and devoted service to the republic. The future of such a foundation deserves the cordial sympathy and helpfulness of all good citizens and the friendly co-operation of all sister institutions. Armstrong and Frissell have written their life deeply into the history of the higher life of Virginia." "Ogden Hall," which is a $200,000 auditorium with a seating capacity of 2,500, designed by Ludlow & Peabody and built by the Whitney Company, of New York, is a national tribute to the memory of Robert Curtis Ogden, whose services as a statesman-educator are becoming more and more fully recognized as the years pass. The dedication exercises brought together a great company of representative white and colored citizens, including those who had won distinction in the political, business, religious, and professional life of the nation. Lasting Monument. "Ogden Hall" was formally presented to the Hampton Board of Trustees by George Foster Peabody, of New York, Hampton's senior trustee and member of the Ogden Memorial Committee, who referred to the "extraordinary faculty which Mr. Ogden had of bringing together men and women in large numbers and welding together their minds and hearts so that they became thereafter unified in their purpose and in their ardent intention to carry through the purpose." William Howard Taft, president of the Hampton Board of Trustees, in accepting the auditorium, said: "Robert Ogden was one of that wonderful band of men raised up by Providence to create this Institution. No more suitable memorial than this could be left for future generations to know what Robert Ogden was. He was a statesman, a man who saw clearly one of the great problems to be worked out in this country, and devoted his life and his energy to initiating the right solution." Isaac Fisher Speaks. Professor Isaac Fisher, university editor, Fisk University, Nashville, Tenn., spoke on "Robert Curtis Ogden's Service to Colored People." He said: "The remedy for poorly equipped Negro public schools in the South is with the Southern white people; this was the keynote of Mr. Ogden's work for the colored people, namely, that the statesmanlike thing to do was to lay siege to the citadel of the increased interest of Southern white people and to challenge their friendly co-operation in the work of giving the Negro better schools and, therefore, better education. "Mr. Ogden's work of bringing the North and South together on a common platform of understanding and sympathy from which they could better see their mutual duty to help advance the progress of the Negro, resulted in calling the attention of the whole nation to its own duty with reference to the problems growing out of the Negro's presence in the South. There had been grave danger that the country would consent to regard these problems as belonging to one section alone, to be struggled with by that one section without aid from the nation at large or from the combined wisdom and philanthropy of the nation's most forward-looking men and women in all parts of the country." Service to the Nation. Dr. James H. Kirkland, chancellor of Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tenn., in his address on "Robert. C Ogden's National Significance," said "Hampton Institute has made a con- Helpful Credit Furniture bought from us on liberal credit terms costs you no more than the plainly marked CASH PRICES.

Grogan's Peter Grogan & Sons Co. 817-823 Seventh St., N.W. tribution to our national life and thought: It has been a wonderful illustration of a new educational theory. It has influenced schools for whites as well as schools for Negroes. It has affected legislation in the state and in the nation. It has demanded and secured the finest cooperation of generous spirits in the North and South. It has brought the two sections together in unselfish service and in constructive achievement. In all these phases the story of Hampton Institute reflects the spirit of Mr. Ogden's life and explains the enlarging circle of his influence and interest. The chorus singing of "spirituals" of the old South was led by Lieut. Paige I. Lancaster, late of the 367th Regiment (the Buffaloes). Dr. Robert R. Moton led the great audience in the singing of "O Freedom." Mr. Ogden's favorite spiritual, "Steal Away to Jesus," was sung. The choir sang Nikolsky's "O Praise Ye the Name of the Lord" and Burleigh's "Deep River," led by R. Nathaniel Dett. The opening prayer was offered by Rev. W. T. Johnson, Richmond, First Baptist Church, and the benediction was pronounced by Rev. Francis G. Peabody, of Cambridge, Mass. A brief service at the close of the dedication was held in memory of Gen. S. C. Armstrong and Dr. H. B. Frissell. Dr. Peabody spoke feelingly of the valuable service which had been rendered to Hampton and to the nation by the founder and the builder, "whose spirit inspires, sustains and uplifts." The Rev. Chester B. Emerson, of Detroit, a Hampton trustee, offered prayer, at the simple memorial service. District Republicans Repudiated. Chicago. June 1.—The star-chamber.
