Colored Waiter Mobbed HARVARD STUDENTS MOB A COLORED WORKER IN MEMORIAL HALL LAST WEEK. VOL. XLI. NO. 2 Colo HARVARD STUDENT ORED WORKER HALL LAST WEEK HARVARD SUDENTS MOB NE- GRO WAITER IN MEMORIAL HALL Racial Differences Come to Head When Discharged Servant Draws Pistol on Pittsburgh. (The Boston Post.) A near race riot at Memorial Hall, Harvard University, where 600 students, many of them Southerners, dine, took place last night and resulted in the injury of Donat Wilson, of Pittsburgh, the sending out of a police alarm, and the escape of A. Mayer, a Negro waiter, who started the disorder by drawing a revolver. Southerners Resented Familiarity. Trouble between the waiter and the students of Southern extraction who eat in Memory Hall has been brewing for many weeks. The Southerners resented what they termed undue familiarity on the part of the waiter. Last night's outbreak began when Mayer, whose home is in Washington, D. C., and who has a temporary residence in the Negro colony in the south end of Boston, made some slighting remarks to Wilson, a law student. Those nearby have different versions as to what actually took place, but all agree that Mayer grabbed Wilson by the hair and struck him in the face. Wilson, in an attempt to defend himself, grabbed a water pitcher, and as he raised it, Mayer drew a revolver and pointed it in Wilson's direction. The objective in the rush that followed seemed to be Mayer. The boys pounced on him, threw him down, took the revolver away from him and started to pummel him. The presence of mind of some of the students and quick action on the part of the head waiter saved Mayer from a severe beating. The head waiter grabbed the now thoroughly cowed Mayer and piloted him to the office. While a telephone call was being made to Brattle Square Station of the Cambridge police, Mayer escaped. A traffic officer was dispatched to the scene, but upon his arrival learned of the escape. He found, however, a number of infuriated students clamoring for the escaped waiter. According to the results of the investigation, the trouble had its inception about six-months ago. At that time Mayer made some alleged slurring remarks to several of the Southerners. Wilson, being a sympathizer with the Southerners, took up the cudgel in their behalf and upbraided the waiter for his attitude. Mayer recently became involved in an altercation with one of the students. Wilson reached for a plate and struck Mayer with it. As a result of this melee, Mayer was discharged on Monday night. Mayer returned to Memorial Hall last night at supper time. Upon entering the hall he went directly to the table at which Wilson sat, and then the trouble started. THE NEW EMANCIPATION. A. Philip Randolph and Chandler Owen Deliver Their First Campaign Speech In Prince George County, Md. Never before have the citizens of Fairmount Heights received such a treat as was rendered them on Memorial Day by the two gifted and thinking orators, A. Philip Randolph and Chandler Owen, co-editors of. The Messenger Magazine. A large, appreciative, and well-thinking audience was assembled on The Washington Bee the spacious and beautiful lawn of Mrs. Agnes Adams Holmes, which was ornamented with Japanese lanterns and other artistic decorations. A Maryland suffragette, Mrs. Helen Cardozo, a former teacher in the public schools of Washington City, presided at the meeting, and in her introductory address mentioned the publication of other magazines which had told of the achievements of men and women of our race along the lines of art, literature and culture. Mrs. Cardozo ended her speech by saying that we now have a new publication presented to us in the form of The Messenger Magazine, which brings to us the new thought, that "Economics" is the greatest thing which concerns the people of the day. Each of the speakers made addresses covering a period of one hour, at the end of which vociferous and prolonged applause burst forth from the audience. Many new thoughts were left by the speakers in the minds of their audience, clearly illustrating the fact that, the only difference between the Republican party and the Democratic party, as far as the Negro is concerned, is that the Republican party makes promises to the Negro, gives a few positions to a few so-called "leaders" to preach to the rest of the race to be meek and contented with what they have, while the Democratic party makes no promises; therefore, has none to keep. Lynching, Jim Crowism and segregation go on under both the Republican and Democratic administrations. The wages of laborers are low and the profits for capitalists are high, while the high cost of living continues under both the Democratic and Republican administrations. All Negroes who receive their living through the profits of rent and dividends should vote for the Republican or Democratic party. All Negroes who receive their living through wages given in return for labor should vote for the Socialist party. The speakers ended by declaring that there will be strikes from now on; then the banks will collapse; there will be much suffering and naturally those down in the lowest strata of life will suffer most. They bade the people to be patient, for when this condition comes about the time will then arrive, when we can shake our brothers' hands across the gory sea—then peace will reign supreme throughout the world. Wooding's efficient orchestra enlivened the occasion by its beautiful music, and will play again at the Second Campaign Speech of the editors on Monday, July 5, 1920, at Buena Vista, Lincoln, Md. ANTIOCH BAPTIST CHURCH. The services at this church are very interesting and beneficial to the neighborhood. Rev. Peter Ailer, who is in Orange, Va., and Lynchburg conducting special services, will return to the city today. Rev. Ailer, pastor of the Antioch, hopes to be able to build his new church shortly. The membership is increasing and collections are very liberal. SURPRISE PARTY. An elaborate surprise party, celebrating the 36th wedding anniversary, was given to Mr. and Mrs. Lafayette Jefferson, of 1129 Twenty-third street northwest, last Monday evening by their son and daughter. The evening was inexpressibly enjoyed by the many friends present. Mr. Jefferson is one of the best known and active citizens of Washington. He comes from one of the oldest and most highly respected families in this city. WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, JUNE 12, 1920 The Howard Theater The People to Purchase the Grand Play house $50,000 Capital to be Divided into Ten Dollar Shares. Colored Citizen to Own and Manage their Own Theater PROSPECTUS OF HOWARD THEATER COMPANY, INC. The Howard Theater Company, Inc., a Corporation to be Organized. Capitalization: The proposed capitalization of this company is the sum of $50,000, divided into 5,000 shares of the par value of $10 each; all of the stock to be common stock, fully paid and nonassessable. The purpose of this company is to take over and conduct the Howard Theater, located on T street, between Sixth and Seventh streets northwest, Washington, D. C., a Washington enterprise, to be controlled and managed by a successful organization of colored men of this District. Subscriptions to the capital stock will be received by Mr. Andrew J. Thomas at the Howard Theater, and installment payments therefor will be received at the Industrial Savings Bank, Eleventh and U streets northwest. The Howard Theater has been a successful proposition since its organization about ten years ago. It has been managed by the Andrew J. Thomas Theater Company, a corporation incorporated under the laws of the District of Columbia, with Mr. Andrew J. Thomas as the president and directing head. It is now proposed that the new corporation to be formed, to be known as the Howard Theater Company, Inc., shall acquire and take over all of the assets of the Andrew J. Thomas Theater Company, and in payment therefor shall give to the stockholders of the said company fifty-two (52) per cent of the capital stock of the new company to be formed. The remaining forty-eight (48) per cent of the capital stock of the new company will be offered for sale at its par value, the said stock to be fully paid and nonassessable. It is the intention to place this stock among only those subscribers who will take an interest in the greater development of the proposition and influence patronage to said theater, and the promoters of this company believe they are granting a privilege to those they permit to subscribe therefor, as the Howard Theater has made a steady growth during the past ten years and is at present enjoying a profitable business, and it is anticipated that (if subscribers demonstrate their interest in the proposition) dividends of not less than six per cent per annum can be declared, either monthly or quarterly, from the profits of this proposition. Mr. Andrew J. Thomas has signified his intention of continuing to manage the said theater, and the stockholders of the new company will have the benefit of his successful managerial ability. All certificates of stock issued shall bear on their face that they are not subject to sale, transfer or assignment, unless they shall first be offered to the president of the company, who shall have the privilege of purchasing the same at par value; and this offer to sell shall be made in writing, not less than twenty (20) days before such stock shall be offered to a third person. The purpose of this is to limit the ownership of what is expected to be a very valuable investment to those who show their confidence in the proposition by subscribing at this time, and so as to prevent the stock being obtained by hostile interests. The money realized from the sale of the 48 per cent of the stock of the new company shall be used for the purpose of enlarging the scope and activity of the said business, which is the object in increasing the capitalization and the formation of the new company. And it is further intended to create a fund for the purpose of acquiring real estate, preferably the premises now occupied by said theater, to the end that this company may own its own building. As is well known, the Howard Theater is centrally located and has a large patronage among the colored people of this city, and by the formation of this new company and the increasing of the capital stock thereby, can broaden its influence to every section of this city and materially enlarge its earnings. The present seating capacity of the theater is 1,201, and it is proposed, if it be feasible and the management are able to do so, to erect a roof garden on the said building to be used for the purpose of exhibiting motion pictures, theatrical performances or dancing, all of which will materially increase the income from the business of the company. It is the intention of the management that the 48 per cent of the capital stock sold shall be entitled to representation on the board of directors, as it is the earnest desire of the management that all stockholders shall take a personal interest in the affairs of the company. When the said 48 per cent of the capital stock has been subscribed for, or a material part thereof, the new company will be promptly organized and the present company transferred to the new company; and the balance of the stock, if any, not subscribed for will be, held by trustees for the purpose of its sale. Attention is called to the well-known fact that motion-picture propositions in this District have been unusually profitable, and there is no valid reason why the management and conduct of this proposition should not be profitable to the subscribers to the capital stock. Subscriptions received at the office of the Howard Theater, 620-622 T street northwest, Washington, D. C., and Industrial Savings-Bank Monday at 10 o'clock a.m. Don't delay. GARFIELD. D. C. The Sunday School met as usual at 9:30 last Sunday morning with a very large attendance. After the lesson, Miss M. Kerrick, assistant superintendent, took charge and rehearsed the children for the Children's Day exercises, which will be Sunday, June 13th, at 3:30 p. m. At 11 a. m. the pastor, Rev. M. W. Turner, preached the sacramental sermon to a large audience. As usual, the Holy Spirit was manifested by many of the worshippers and they did not hesitate to give vent to their feelings. After his wonderful sermon, the pastor sang his favorite hymn, "The Gates Were Left Ajar for Me." Then he made an appeal for sinners to come to Christ. Rev. L. W. Hillery, assisted by others, administered the Holy Sacrament to the members and friends from other churches. The choir, under the leadership of Mr. Wm. R. Giles, was out in full strength and rendered some excellent music. The C. E. League opened at 6:30 with a very live topic, which was discussed by the members and friends. Rev. James Hillery delivered a short sermon at 8 o'clock, after which the pastor lectured on his trip out West, which was very interesting. Services were held at Moore's Cemetery on Memorial Day and a large crowd attended. ARLINGTON (VA.) NEWS. Rev. Kellingsworth, of the Lomax A. M. E. Zion Church, preached his farewell sermon to the members Sunday, June 6. The members feel as if they have lost a dear one. He highly appreciates the kindness of the members and visiting friends who have been exceedingly good to him and his family during the past year he has been with them. His text was "God's unerely favor is for all, while the church was open to all." The members were filled with the spirit when Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Hamilton were received into the church. The pastor will leave for the annual conference Wednesday. Macedonia Baptist Church has made great progress. The Sunday School is growing and members are coming in fast. They were very much pleased to have in their midst at all services the Reys, C. J. Leach, W. J. Sims and Chaplain Stanton also Rev. Pierceson who preached at 7.30 for the members and friends. His text was, "Who is He: where did He come from; where did He go; and what did He do?" The members are very much pleased to have these-visiting ministers to announce that their doors are open to all. The Girls' Club of Nauck wishes to announce their summer entertainment and outing at the Macedonia Baptist Church on Thursday, June 24. It will be an apron and necktie party. A prize will be given for the prettiest apron and tie. The music will be furnished by the Boys' Band of Nauck recently organized by R. Rucker and brothers. Tickets, including refreshments, 15 cents. The best of order will be obtained in and around the church. Everybody welcome. Come early. Doors open 7.30 o'clock sharp. Mrs. Georgia Moore, wife of Rev. Moore, also senior teacher of the Sunday School at Macedonia Baptist Church at Nauck, returned last Saturday from New York, after a two weeks' visit to her daughter, Miss Florance Moore, who had to undergo a very serious operation. It was a pleasure to Mrs. Moore to have made that trip. For the first time in 27 years she has been absent from Rev. S. L. Moore. Mrs. N. J. Bowen, who entertained Mrs. Moore while in New York, will not be forgotten. It was very sad on returning to find her daughter, Miss Maud Moore, in bed under the care of a doctor, and also her mother in Alexandria, Va. Miss Edith Ballard and Miss Florance Moore wishes to be remembered to all the friends. *** Don't forget to hand all news into your agent. All news must be handed in before Wednesday at 12 o'clock m. Mr. and Mrs. Joe Green, of Nauck, will give you all information how to secure your lots and how to get your homes built on easy terms. *** On Monday night the community was lively with visitors. Mr. and Mrs. Howard had the moving van out which carried the missionaries. They preached and sang very nicely, and the people around Nauck were filled with the Holy Ghost. ANOTHER SANATORIUM FOR TUBERCULOUS SOLDIERS According to an announcement made by Surgeon General Hugh S. Cumming, the magnificent tuberculosis sanatorium heretofore operated by the army authorities at Fort Bayard, N. Mex., has just been transferred to the U. S. Public Health Service, and will soon be available for treating discharged, disabled soldiers. Splendidly located, not far from Silver City, and conveniently accessible on the Santa Fe Railroad, this sanatorium has long been the pride of the army. The climate is almost ideal, in that it permits outdoor life for a large part of the year. The Fort Bayard Sanatorium will provide the Public Health Service with 1,000 additional beds to care for its tuberculous patients. The present sanatorium at Deming will be held in reserve, especially for winter use. At the Fort Bayard Sanatorium the Public Health Service will treat only ambulatory cases of tuberculosis, in which the prognosis is favorable. Patients will be admitted only after careful observation elsewhere to make sure that their condition is suitable for successful treatment at the high altitude of this sanatorium. In general, it is the policy of the Public Health Service not to move patients far from their homes, for experience has shown that such removal often has an unfavorable effect. For this reason, patients for the new sanatorium will probably be drawn principally from the middle and southwest sections of the country. REV. CHAUNCEY M. BLQUNT Tells a Bee Reporter Doings of Our Race in the State of South Carolina. I am pleased to note the fact that I am a citizen of Anacostia, D. C. At the present time my ministerial work is in South Carolina. While traveling over different parts of South Carolina and sometimes in other Southern States I noticed that the churches seem to be doing well, both spiritually and financially. The church school and those of the State have improved rapidly. The terms are longer and they seem to be well attended. The relation between the two races in South Carolina is better in some respects. We are unable to state the cause of this change, but we all know that a change of conditions and ambitions are slowly working their way into the minds and hearts of our people. In South Carolina we have a number of colored farmers owning and working their own land. The high price of cotton has helped many of them to buy farms. Just a glance, as you pass through the farming districts will tell you how they seem to be getting along. They no longer go to church in their ox carts, nor horse and buggy, but a goodly number of them have their own cars. I am glad to hear that the Citizens' Association of Anacostia, with their president, Mr. H. Hoffman, are working hard to have the roads in Anacostia improved. It is our duty as citizens and property owners to do whatever we can to push the work along, by giving if it becomes necessary and encouraging our president by attending the meetings of the association whenever we can do so. I am not able to be present at your meeting, as you know, but you have my prayers and best wishes for success. Dr. Blount is now in the city visiting his family on Stanton road, Anacostia, D. C. MUSICAL NOTES. Miss Revella Hughes, formerly of this city, now residing in New York, made her musical debut on May 27th in Brooklyn at Memorial Hall. Mr. Kemper Harreld, in charge of the music department of Moorehouse College, Atlanta, Ga., took an active part in the recital held at the Metropolitan Church on June 4th. The Capital City Clef Club will send five of its players to Penn College, Pa., to play for the graduation exercises. Mr. Louis Thomas, leader; Mr. Elmo Snowden, banjo player; Mr. Diamond, drummer, and others. They will be gone five days. NOTICE.

The Bee requests this on account of the great demand for space in its columns and the coming improvements that are about to be made. Senator Harrison: "You did your best, didn't you?" Mr. Bruce: "They don't believe so." Senator Harrison: "Who is John R. Bates?" Mr. Bruce: "I don't know. I expect that he is a member of the League. So I have been told." Senator Harrison: "Is he a lawyer?" THREE—Bee long Mr. Bruce: "I really don't know." Senator Harrison: "You really don't know him very well, and won't know whether he stands well here or not?" Mr. Bruce: "I have heard him speak at the meetings of the National Association, but I don't know anything about him." Senator Harrison: "He spoke after the presiding officer spoke, didn't he? You heard that speech?" Mr. Bruce: "I don't remember the calls. The general impression is very vivid." Senator Dillingham: "As I understood you to say, you did not go in until Mr. Hewlett was speaking." Mr. Bruce: "Yes." Senator Harrison: "That was after the ovation was tendered you. Who is Robert A. Goodwin?" Mr. Bruce: "I don't know." Senator Harrison: "He was one of the speakers. I presume he stands very well. He is pastor of the Christian Church." Mr. Bruce: "I don't know." Senator Harrison: "Well, preachers generally stand pretty well, don't they?" Mr. Bruce: "They should." Senator Harrison: "They should and they do, don't they?" Mr. Bruce: "They may." Senator Harrison: "Well, don't they in the city of Washington, stand all right?" Mr. Bruce: "Not invariably." Senator Harrison: "Well, generally?" Mr. Bruce: "I should like to believe so." Senator Harrison: "Well, you don't believe so?" Senator Harrison: "Is it a fact that some of these preachers who spoke at this meeting were against you and are against you and connect you up with the Moons matter? Does that cause you to have a feeling against some of the preachers in Washington?" Mr. Bruce: "Undoubtedly." Senator Harrison: "Don't you feel that the preachers should stand well among the people in that community?" Mr. Bruce: "Yes, sir." Senator Harrison: "And, as a rule, they do?" Mr. Bruce: "There is a question about that." Senator Harrison: "Do you think they do?" Mr. Bruce: "I think we have some saintly men; for example, Francis J. Grimke." Senator Harrison: "Well, is he the only one you think is all right?" Mr. Bruce: "There are others, of course; but I simply mention him." Senator Harrison: "You think there are some you can not speak so highly of?" Mr. Bruce: "You understand that the office of clergyman is one of very great opportunity for service, and it has always been my hope to see more liberally educated, more thoroughly trained—to see inspiring men enter this sacred service." Senator Harrison: "I presume that is true." Mr. Bruce: "Yes, sir; and many such men have entered that service." Senator Harrison: "Some of the very best people in your race have entered that service." Mr. Bruce: "No doubt; that has always been true." Senator Harrison: "And that is true in Washington, isn't it, to some extent?" Mr. Bruce: "Yes, sir." Senator Harrison: "And I notice about that time Judge Hewlett said: 'Do you suppose for one moment, my friends, that the most highly educated colored man in the world could have gone to the Board of Education with a letter of introduction and asked leave to visit the white schools and see how much Negro blood there was in their veins?' I say, no.' He says: 'Why should the officials allow that man to go and look at our fair girls and our pure girls in our bathing suits?'" Mr. Bruce: "As a matter of fact, that never happened. That statement was false." Senator Harrison: "How did he come to make that statement?" Mr. Bruce: "There were all sorts of stories in circulation, and that was one of them. I made inquiry of Principal Wilkinson, of the Dunbar High School, and found that that story was without foundation; but, of course, that did not prevent it being circulated very industriously." Senator Harrison: "Well, you can understand that when the reports came out that this man had been permitted to go through the schools and had been permitted for months and years, because his first letter was given to him away back, and he was not arrested un- til October, 1918. His first letter was given to him in 1916, wasn't it?" Mr. Bruce: "In October, 1916." Mr. Bruce: "In October, 1916." Senator Harrison: "And this man was not arrested until October, 1918, and Charlotte Hunter continued to teach in the schools up until April, 1919. Moens was arrested October 25, 1918, and was tried and convicted in April, 1919. Charlotte Hunter was teaching all this time in the schools. Now, you can understand how rumors could fly around under those circumstances." Mr. Bruce: Yes, so. Senator Harrison: "If it had been shown that one of the teachers was employed by him to procure girls of various types so that their pictures might be taken in the nude, naturally they would presume, if he was going through the schools, that he might have procured other teachers to do the same thing. Is that right?" Mr. Bruce: "I am not sure that in any case a schoolgirl was photographed in the nude." Senator Harrison: "But one of the teachers was procuring girls to be phoFOLR—Bee long tographed in the nude, and she was being retained in the schools." Mr. Bruce: "I have never seen the document which Mr. Learned placed in the hands of Superintendent Thurston December 3, 1918." Senator Harrison: "But you attended the trial of Moens." Mr. Bruce: "I attended as many sessions of the trial as my duties would permit." Senator Harrison: "Was not one of the main facts that came out that he visited Charlotte Hunter's place and was arrested in her room, and that she was paid by him to procure various types of girls to have their pictures taken in the nude, and the photographs were in evidence?" Mr. Bruce: "I know of no evidence that Miss Hunter received pay from Moens for bringing girls to be photographed by him." Senator Harrison: "Didn't it come out in the evidence that she was getting paid by Mr. Moens for her services to him in getting these various types of girls?" Mr. Bruce: "Not to my knowledge, I asked the day after the conviction of Mr. Moens in Justice McCoy's court, for a complete certified copy of the record of the court and for such information as had been accumulated at the Department of Justice to throw light upon the culpability, if any, of a teacher or teachers in the public schools whose names had been involved, but I have never seen any copy of the testimony." Senator Harrison: "Did you make any application to the superintendent of schools?" Mr. Bruce: "Yes, sir." Senator Harrison; "And what did he tell you?" Mr. Bruce: "That the Department of Justice document was confidential. He had said previously that this memorandum which was placed in his hands December 4, 1918, was confidential, that Dr. Learned had so informed him when he gave it to him." Senator Harrison: "Did you make application to Dr. Learned?" Mr. Bruce: "No, sir." Senator Harrison: "Well, why didn't you?" Mr. Bruce: "Because my superior had the document and regarded it as confidential in respect of my office." Senator Harrison: "Did you ask him what was in it?" Mr. Bruce: "I don't know that I asked that particular question." Senator Harrison: "Did you try to ascertain whether or not and to what extent it connected Charlotte Hunter with Moens?" Mr. Bruce: "The superintendent indicated to me very plainly that he regarded the document as confidential, and I got the impression that it would be an impertinence on my part to pursue the inquiry; that if he felt I ought The Best Place to Eat Joseph S.

Mr. Bruce: "I think they were produced yesterday." Senator Harrison: "Yes; but I do not think I saw them. You have the letter?" Mr. Bruce: "This is simply a summary of the letter." Senator Harrison: "Well, here is a controversy between you and the Parents' League. Now, what effort did you make with those rumors flying around touching the connection of Charlotte Hunter, one of your teachers, with Moens, to ascertain the true facts, whether or not she was employed by him, receiving money from him, and procuring these girls in order that he might have their pictures taken in the nude, and that he was going to her room?" Mr. Bruce: "The stories, with the amplitude that you have given to them, were brought to my attention either during the trial or following the trial." Senator Harrison: "So you had really heard them?" Mr. Bruce: "At that time and in that way, so far as I heard them at all, I had followed the trial. I had addressed a communication to the superintendent of schools, asking for a transcript of the record of the court. That was April 2, 1919." Senator Harrison: "You did not get a transcript of it?". Mr. Bruce: "I have never seen a transcript." Senator Harrison: "And you had no impression up to this meeting on April 5, 1919, that Charlotte Hunter was in the employ of Moens; that he visited her in her rooms, and that she procured girls to have their pictures taken in the nude?" Mr. Bruce: "No, sir." Senator Harrison: "You had not gathered that even from the trial of Moens?" Mr. Bruce: "The impression which I gathered from the trial of Moens was that this teacher had been injulicious in an extreme degree and that in consequence of that fact, and without any imputation whatever of personal morality on her part, her usefulness to the school system was at an end. And I informed the superintendent of schools of that and her counsel, Gen. Michener, on April 7, 1949." Senator Harrison: "That was before the picketing began?" Mr. Bruce: "I am very anxious that I should be perfectly clear. As I have said several times, I have never seen either a transcript of the record or a copy of the confidential memorandum of the Department of Justice." NEW ENGLAND BAPTIST S. S AND B. Y. P. U.

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.

"Manhood" was the theme of an address delivered before thirty-six graduates last Tuesday evening at the commencement of the Virginia Theological Seminary and College, an institution under the Virginia Baptist State Convention located in this city. Fully two thousand people crowded in the chapel to hear the address, and there were many turned away. All great moral movements in the history of mankind tend to emphasize the fundamental importance of manhood," said Mr. Miller, "and the old aristocratic idea laid stress upon the dignity, honor and glory of a few selected men and reduced the great mass of mankind to the level of hewers of wood and drawers of water. The democratic idea, as contrasted with the aristocratic, insists upon the development of manly qualities on the part of all the children of men. "The institution of slavery placed all manly virtues in the possession of the white race and suppressed the Negro below the plane of noble instincts and qualities. It was perfectly logical under this conception that the black man should be exploited for the honor and glory of his white lord and master; but, under the new democratic conception, every man is supposed to develop and exercise the best powers within him for the emnoblement of his own nature. Man is the greatest thing in the world. He is the crowning effort of creative energy. All of the forces of the universe ultimate in him. The lowest man in the world is worth more than all the world besides him. The chief aim of ONE OF OUR LEADING OF THE PLANT OF THE E. A. WELTERS TO BE ERECTED IN THE E. A.

"If through the process of education we can inculcate this idea into the minds of the Negro youth, our problem would be well on the way to solution; and we need not concern ourselves so much with programs of racial solution. Principles are more than programs, and without principles programs are useless. The race or individual that believes in itself will solve its problem, but if one is uncertain as to his inherent claims of manhood, his problems will be impossible of solution. All freedom first exists in the state of the mind. Frederick Douglass was liberated the moment he read the Columbia Orator, which inspired in him freedom of mind.

The action of the National Republican Committee in Chicago last week in adopting a resolution to disband all State delegates elected to the National Republican Convention in the future who may hold Republican meetings in places where colored Republicans are not permitted to attend, meant nothing. If the committee means what it said, why not declare all seats vacant of those Republicans elected in star-chamber meetings, where colored Republicans were not permitted to enter? Some colored voters may believe that such a declaration was made in good faith, but it was not, for the reason that hundreds of delegates have already been elected and hold their seats by fraud and by discriminating against good colored Republicans. Political discrimination against colored Republicans was exposed long before the meeting of the National Committee. Why wasn't some action taken then? Before the colored voters nibble at such a bait let them consider wisely. They don't want to vote for a nominee simply because he has the stamp of the Republican National Convention. The soft soap that was handed out to the delegates at Chicago last week will not have the effect on the colored voters that many think. If those hypocritical politicians think that they are fooling the colored voters, they are mistaken. An of the National Republican Committee is adopting a resolution to disband all Some National Republican Convention in the Publician meetings in places where colored felt to attend, meant nothing. If the committee why not declare all seats vacant of those former-chamber meetings, where colored Repubs to enter? Some colored voters may believe was made in good faith, but it was not, for reasons of delegates have already been elected and by discriminating against good political discrimination against colored Repubs before the meeting of the National Convention taken then? Before the colored voters get them consider wisely. They don't want simply because he has the stamp of the convention. The soft soap that was handed on Chicago last week will not have the effect on any think. If those hypocritical politicians among the colored voters, they are mistaken. THE 'COLORED VOTE. separated vote wanted? That is the question in the Southern States. In the settlement it was plainly demonstrated that the white men are largely in the minority, and where he on the part of certain white Republican delegate was thrown out. In South are content to sit quiet and see men who have made the Republican party the greater cowards than we presumed they are for the colored voters to declare them. Will they continue to be the hewers of water? Now is the time to give all parties the Republican party—that the color must be respected and that his vote will be on. Is the colored vote wanted? That is the question in settling the contests in the Southern States. In the settlement of the Southern contests it was plainly demonstrated that the white Republicans in that section are largely in the minority, and where gross irregularities existed on the part of certain white Republicans almost every colored Republican delegate was thrown out. If the colored voters in the South are content to sit quiet and see party rules throw down men who have made the Republican party what it is today, they are greater cowards than we presumed they were. The time has come for the colored voters to declare themselves. Will they do so? Will they continue to be the hewers of wood and drawers of water? Now is the time to give all parties to understand—especially the Republican party—that the colored voter has rights that must be respected and that his vote will count in the coming election.

Caesar had his Brutus, and Charles I his Cromwell, and Dr. Van Schaick his Roscoe Conklin Bruce. If Dr. Van Schaick had served the people of Washington with as much zeal and vigor as he served Bruce, he would today be one of the Commissioners of the District of Columbia. Why doesn't Dr. Hayden Johnson resign from the Board of Education?

Neither one is a delegate to the convention, hence the surrendered their rights to two political Commissioner of the District of Columbia colored man while he was Commissioner, Press reports show that the District's alleged elected delegates to the National Republican Convention surrendered to the bank presidents. C. C. Glover assumes the function of notifying the Presidential candidate of his nomination, and Cuno H. Rudolph was selected to notify the Vice-President. Neither one of the bank presidents was a delegate to the convention, hence the two alleged elected delegates surrendered their rights to two political nonenities, one a former Commissioner of the District of Columbia, who never appointed a colored man while he was Commissioner, but did offer a messengership to a colored college graduate, which he declined. The other is a bank president who is to notify the Vice-President of his nomination. Is this not a surrender of the political functions of two star-chamber alleged elected delegates? Neither one of the bank presidents could be elected as skyscrapers on an airship. The Bee would like to know what Jim Cobb was thinking about when he surrendered to two political nonenities. The Bee could not expect any more. This indicates bank presidents will introduce themselves to the next President and Vice-President, should they be elected. But, from all indications, it is going to be a hard road to travel. Two-thirds of the Republican vote in this city may be classed colored; another one-third is never seen in the limelight unless an office is in sight. The selection indicates what the colored voters will receive from the next Republican administration—should it be Republican. The Bee predicts, if Mr. Cuno Rudolph goes back as Commissioner the colored brother has but little hope. During the time Mr. Rudolph and Mr. Johnston were Commissioners not a colored man was appointed to the police force, and none to a clerkship in the District government. Men like David Wormley and Aldridge Lewis, two of the most competent colored men in the District government, never received a promotion. The Bec advises the colored voter to think and act for himself. Is there very much difference between the Democratic and Republican parties? The colored American will be a factor if he puts money in his purse. WHY NOT MAKE THE TICKET VARDAMAN AND JOHNSON? By Joseph C. Manning. In the New York-Evening Journal, Hearst newspaper, May 20th, in the column of propaganda boosting Hiram Johnson for the Republican nomination for President, with all the carmarks of bureau stuff, there appears, among other Johnson material, the following: "If the Republicans should nominate Johnson, in spite of the opposition of the money power, Johnson will be elected, and the United States will have, notwithstanding he is a Republican in name, a better Democrat for President than it had during the administration of either Cleveland or Wilson. There is another thing the South should think about. If Johnson is elected, we need not fear him on the race question. He has a race question in the West which will insure his sympathy with the white people of the Southern States." The above are not the words of a newspaper reporter. They are the words of Vardaman of Mississippi, quoted by the Johnson campaign publicity bureau, to boost the stock of Hiram Johnson for the nomination for President by the party of Abraham Lincoln. It was Vardaman of Mississippi who said of Booker Washington: "I have more respect for the cocoanut-headed coon that blacks my boots than I have for Booker Washington." This remark went to show his regard for Negro progress in particular and for all Negroes in general. Yet we have the candidacy of a Republican being boosted by a Southern Democrat of the type of Vardaman and his words quoted as an assurance to the Southern Democracy that they need have no fear in the event Johnson becomes President. I deny that Vardaman has the authority to speak for the Southern people or that the Southern Democracy is the Southern people, for not more than a third of the white people of the South vote the Democratic ticket in the South. The machinations of political repression have set up political slavery in the Southern States. There is no more constitutional democracy in the Southern States than there is of old-time religion in hell or of Vardaman Democrats in heaven. The Southern Dmocracy has gone on anteces of the Federal Constitution, with such Republican Senators as Hiram Johnson silent in their seats in the afee of this political outlawry, until more than half the whites and practically all colored are subjects of a political oligarchy. It is bad enough for the Republican party to be recrente to this outlawry of the liberty guarentees of the Federal Constitution, but it is infamous that the day has come when a Republican candidate for President quotes a Southern Democrat like Vardaman to help his cause. The Negro was good enough in the South to help in the war work, to buy Liberty Bonds to the last dollar, and to go abroad to fight for world democracy abroad, having to return South where he is denied voice in democracy at home. Yes, more, and to be greeted, on his return, from the world war, with the jeer: "Get out of that uniform, nigger!" I say, make the Republican ticke' Vardaman and Johnson; have it the whole hog or none. Here is your Vardaman Democra- in Alabama: This State has 300,000 whites and 200,000 colored of voting age. Bankhead was elected to the United States Senate on 54,000 votes; Underwood on 63,000 votes. This shows the rule of suppression. This is what Johnson will stand for, says Vardaman. JUDGE ROBERT H. TERRELL. Delivers Commencement Address At West Virginia Collegiate Institute —Greatest In The History Of The School. On May 26th, the West Virginia Collegiate Institute, at Institute. W. Va., held its twenty-fifth commencement-by far the greatest in the entire history of the school.

Seventy-seven diplomas and certificates were issued to the young men and young ladies who had creditably completed courses in the college and secondary departments. The commencement audience more than taxed the capacity of the college auditorium and was apart from the student body, composed of friends and patrons of the school, from West Virginia cities, from Pennsylvania, Ohio, Virginia and Kentucky.

Davis introduced the guests of honor, only one of whom, Superintendent George S. Laidley, a member of the State Board of Education, and a great friend of the school, made a brief address. Judge Terrell Speaks. Judge Robert H. Terrell of Washington, D. C., was the commencement orator, and to his native ability to interest an audience seemed to have been added an inspiring vigor that enthralled his hearers. His address was a masterly appeal to the graduates to use their education for the uplift of humanity. He advised the educated Negro to see to it that he influences the masses of his race to ally themselves with no movement that had not for its cardinal principles adherence to the observance of law and order, and the preservation of this, our country. At the conclusion of the program President Davis awarded three hundred dollars in cash prizes to deserving students who, in Christian, moral, literary, elocutionary and athletic endeavors, had been judged to be the most worthy. The concluding remarks of President Davis was a fearless, forcible appeal to the authorities and citizens for cooperation in putting over a program for salaries, dormitories, an administration building, that a greater school might be possible.

President Davis has been the recipient of many laudable comments for the able manner in which the affairs of the Collegiate Institute have been conducted during his first year as chief executive. His slogan, "a Christian education that includes thoroughness, efficiency and vim," seems to motivate every department of his school. The general spirit of faculty and student body, easily discernable to any who have recently visited the school, in one of content and earnestness. In athletics for this year, on the gridiron, and the diamond, the College Institute has won the championship. She defeated the best elevens of the Eastern colored schools, and out of eight baseball games played this season with school teams she has won five. Summer School. The Collegiate Institute will begin its State Summer School for Teachers June 14th, and will continue it for six weeks, under the direction of Prof. S. H. Guss.

Ford Dabney, the clever Washington musician, now located in New York City, recently purchased for $15,000 dollars a home for his musical studio on West 139th street. This is the third realty investment made by Prof. Dabney. Capt. W. H. Dabney, Ford's father, has a prosperous torsorial parlor-located in the heart of Washington's busy business district down town. The success of this your musician is due solely to he having the best of musical schooling obtainable in Washington by his father securing Prof. Donch as his instructor while Ford was a mere school boy. The concert by the Crescendo Club on Monday night at the Coliseum served to draw out a good-sized crowd of admirers of this splendid organization. Prof. J. Rhoades as conductor presented a fine program of both concert and dance music. Jim Smith and Henry Crowley were all smiles. Another batch of Washington musicians are expected to leave shortly for Paris, France. Passports and contracts are soon to be signed. In this party are Louis N. Brown and Messrs. Coates, Philpot, Taylor and Parrot. The public rehearsal held at Odd Fellows' Hall Sunday afternoon by the Greater Odd Fellows' Band brought out a good attendance of players and the public.

UGGIST T 1810 Ninth Street Northwest DR. 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.

Our motto: ACCURACY—RELIABILITY—SERVICE" BRUGGISTS' ASSOCIATION INC. The District of Columbia t (Official) E. F. Harris, Sec'y It was all rot that the National Republican Committee gave out last week to the effect that no recognition would be given to those Republicans who held meetings in places that barred colored voters. The National Committeeman of Georgia, a creature of Henry Lincoln Johnson, who had troubles of his own, but not too many to prevent him and other Southern nonenities from meddling in District of Columbia politics. Benjamin Davis is the real colored politician in Georgia. If there ever was a hot-air artist in politics, Link Johnson is the limit. Among the happiest men in town today is R. G. Byers. Friend Byers from now on will do his own thinking and acting. He doesn't propose to allow others to think and act for him. From now on Manager Byers will do his own thinking and acting. The District of Columbia star chamber parlor delegation put one over on those who trained with it four years ago. Benjamin Gaskin, who was head and front of the Hogan-Williston combination, was entirely ignored this time. The National Committee declared that the Hogan faction held the only regular election. If that be so, the elections of 1900 and 1912 were gems. Has it ever occurred to the readers of the Sage that only one of the colored delegates' name has even been mentioned as having ever said anything in Chicago? I told you so. What does any political machine care for fairness in election, so long as the machine is under its control? Amos Bradshaw, who has more talk than sense, held his little star chamber meeting and failed to inform his last political associate. Dr. Charles H. Marshall didn't have a peep in. Bud should never charge fraud again against anyone. He only received what he sowed. If you noticed, in the last election—I mean sham election—the colored politicians were followers and not leaders. They had no chance to sell the votes in the District. There was less money spent, but the frauds were greater. The sickest man is the man who failed to handle Hogan's funds. It was a gigantic joke when Jim Cobb put himself up as the representative of the colored Republicans in this city. Of course, Dr. Williston had to laugh. Dr. Williston is a jolly good fellow, but he just allowed himself to be hoodwinked by intoxicated politicians who made Doc believe that he was more than what he was. Now, after the election in November, if the Republicans win, the hat-in-hand colored Republicans will be standing at the back door of the white Republicans, asking for jobs. There will be a job-hunting brigade! This brigade will not be organized until after November 5. The captain of this brigade will attempt to convince the privates that he is on the inside of the next administration. The privates in this brigade might as well come to the conclusion that they will not be in it. The Democrats will hold on just the same: The Republicans will continue to tell the member of the office-seekers' brigade that they are weighed in the balance and are found wanting. Join the office-seeker's brigade now. The recruiting officers will make their rounds after the nomination. Applications should be made now. Address the recruiting office of the office-seekers' brigade, care of the delegates who went to Chicago.

C.—After only one week in which to dispose of after commencement matters and put the buildings and campus in ship-shape again, the National Training School in this city has entered upon a program of activities that will take until August 1st to carry out. Friday of last week the first session of the students' conference of the Y. W. C. A. was held. This gathering will be in session through Monday, June 14th. Immediately upon the conclusion of the students' conference the North Carolina Colored Teachers' Association will convene for its annual meeting to be held for three days, beginning on Tuesday, the 15th. This is of educators in the State among our people. Dr. James E. Shepard of the National Training School is president of this association, which is doing good work for education. The third and last of these educational gatherings to be held at the Training School this summer will be the Summer School for Teachers, which opens on Monday, June 21st, and will continue for six weeks, closing on Saturday, July 31st. Dr. Shepard will be at the institution practically all summer. Prospective students for the fall term of the National Training School will do well to communicate with President Shepard early in order to file their applications for entrance, as there is already at the school a long waiting list left over from the past school year.
