OGNIZED THE
TEAR-DIMMED DELEGATES
SEE HOPES SWEPT AWAY
Spirits of Lincoln and Grant Stalk
Through Mammoth Coliseum at
Chicago and Frown as They Observe Their Life Work Crumble to
Dust—How They Were Unseated.
Those returning from hicago tell very frankly how the colored delegates out there, one by one, were unseated and their places uncompromisingly assigned to the white contestants. No convention gave so little, yet exacted so much.
Some of the delegates, it is said, wept with emotion as they contended for principles won by their predecessors and saw brilliant chances melt like winter snowflakes before a midday sun, and, as one describes it, "We were as the five foolish virgins, begging for admission, and we found the chamber barred against us."
It is extremely humiliating to confess that these same principles upon which the welfare of our future depended were surrendered never again perhaps to be recovered.
"Steam roller" methods were never before played to a more skillful advantage, and old-timers, who know what they are talking about, make no bones of the fact that the colored brother was given the understanding he would have to take what was handed him or there would be nothing doing.
For several days this sort of thing dragged on—a half-staged, half-sickening travesty.
"Mushroom tactics" were used more than once, and considerable cunning accompanied most the decisions made by the committee having the various contest cases in charge.
The "lily white" fever was not merely confined to Southern members. There was a general handshaking on this issue, and a feeling that "our cause is one and the same; the colored brother must look out for himself."
So it went down the line. The scene was rather touching. Dark, gray-haired forms, who had helped to seat the great Lincoln and put through the fearless Grant, sat with eyes dimmed. Their vision became blurred.
This message to twelve million loyal Americans doesn't seem encouraging. It hurts, and naturally a corresponding amount of resentment must follow.
Would it be a bad plan for the colored delegate to pack his political duds, store them away and devote his time to some other cause?
The colored vote should promptly organize, cast down their buckets for the candidate who best meets their fancy and support as a unit for President the ablest and finest equipped man in the field. The day for any particular party affiliation appears to have vanished.
November 2nd next will decide one of the most momentous questions the country has ever had. Every American qualified to vote, whether black or white, should endeavor to cast a ballot.
With extraordinary swiftness the convention selected Senator Warren G. Harding of Ohio as the Republican standard bearer to lead them to success when the issue comes before the people for their final approval.
The swing was a sudden one, all previous balloting leaning more favorably toward others having the same aspirations.
A few days from now San Francisco will undergo like experiences, and while special features omitted from the Chicago comedy will be in evidence at the San Francisco extravaganza, impulses containing the same tightrope stunts and vaudeville specialties will be the order of the day, and out of chaos will arise another mind—a Democrat—nominated for a

similar purpose, and who also must receive the approval of his fellowmen and enfranchised womanhood. It is this mind that Senator Harding must reckon with, and if "chickens come home to roost," and they surely do, this is the psychological moment for a presidential nominee to know it. The colored voter is not duty-bound. The way is clear, and it goes without saying that a good Democrat of the Grover Cleveland type would serve the country far better than the Republican, who stands for neither one thing nor the other.
RACE MEN TO BUILD
Thoroughly Up-to-Date Playhouse to
Be Created by Local Interests
Be Erected by Local Interests.
Determined that the colored theatre public, which has so generously supported them in the past and has made their business such an outstanding success among the activities of the race, shall have a theatre equal to any, the owners and managers of the Hiawatha, Dudley, Mid-City, Foraker, and Dunbar theatres have combined to build and equip a thoroughly modern and luxurious playhouse.
With that in view they have secured the properties at 1333-5-7-9 and 41 You, street northwest, where they will begin the erection of the Frederick Douglass Theatre as soon as possession of the premises may be obtained.
The offices of the proposed corporation have been opened at 1232 You street, and Mr. Charles E. Lane, Jr., a trained actuary and accountant, has been/engaged as office manager. The men promoting this enterprise include S. H. Dudley, proprietor of a number of theatres in this city and elsewhere, president; Raymond H. Murray, proprietor of the Foraker, Dunbar, and Hiawatha theatres, vice-president; F. Morris Murray, manager of Murray Bros., printing establishment, secretary, and William A. Bowie, cashier of the Industrial Savings Bank, treasurer; Emmett J. Scott, secretary of the National Negro Business League; Isaiah T. Hatton, the well-known architect, who designed and built the Whitelaw Apartment and Hotel, and many notable buildings; John T. Rhines, the successful undertaker; J. Clay Smith, manager of the Pythian Building at Twelfth and You streets, and grand keeper of the records and seals of the District Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias; Thomas M. Watson, lawyer and owner of Sunnside Heights Subdivision, Virginia; George W. Day, manager of the Dudley and Mid-City Theatres, and D. W. Barnett, secretary of the Consolidated Vaudeville Circuit, which controls practically all colored acts which play the Southern circuits of the country.
Attorney Gaskins Retained.
The Dudley-Murray United Theatre Corporation has retained Benj. L. Gaskins, the well-known local attorney, as general counsel. All those who know Mr. Gaskins know that this, insures that the legal phases of the corporation will be in the hands of a master. Mr. Gaskins has had a remarkable career at the local bar and has met in the legal forum many of its giants of both races, and has always held his own. The profession knows that while he has been remarkably successful in his civil practice, he has never resorted to chicanery or unethical tactics, and that his word is as good as the judgment of a court, once he has agreed upon a course of conduct.
Mr. Gaskins enjoys not only the friendship and respect of every member of the bar, but the highest confidence of the judges as well, and he
WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, JUNE 19, 1920
has been appointed probably more than any other member of the bar to represent interests that would otherwise have been unprotected, such as infants and absent defendants. Numbering, as he does, among his clients many of the most successful business men of the race, the new concern will have the advantage of safe, sane and thoroughly competent legal advice.
Bruce Before the Senate Committee. Senator Harrison: You tell the committee now that there was nothing, so far as you have head, except perhaps what has enanated from the Parents' League meeting, other than an act of indiscretion upon the part of Charlotte Hunter in her connections with Moens. Mr. Bruce: I have given the committee all of the information which I have received. A letter from Mr. Wilkinson, principal of Dunbar High School, as I have stated, came to me on January 12, 1917, which was placed before the president of the board. This the president investigated in his way and reached the conclusion that the authorization given him by Mr. Moens to visit the schools should not be withdrawn. Also a letter from Principal Newman under date of January 15, 1917, I forwarded in the same way.
Senator Harrison: Well, that is fine up to there, but what I am trying to get at is, with all those rumors flying and the facts revealed as they were in that case, as shown by the transcript of record, of the employment of Charlotte Hunter by Mr. Moens and her action in procuring these girls to have their pictures taken in the nude, did you get the impression that wasn't there cause for the colored population generally to believe that other teachers might be implicated?
Mr. Bruce: The transcript of the record in the case was not in general circulation. I myself have never seen it.
Senator Harrison: No; but the trial of the case was in the open and everybody could be in attendance, couldn't they?
Mr. Bruce: Yes, sir. I believe that the indignation of the masses of the colored community was highly honorable, but I believe also that this indignation was exploited for personal and political purposes by a few irresponsible and not too scrupulous men.
Senator Harrison: But you attach no blame to the colored people of Washington in bringing about, either through mass meetings or otherwise, the attention of the authorities to the fact that such a teacher as Charlotte Hunter—or any other teachers, if the facts should reveal similar circumstances connected up with Moens—should be discharged from the schools, do you?
Mr. Bruce: It seems to me that the intelligent thing to do was to submit to the proper authorities—in this case, the school administration—whatever evidence these individuals might have had, because those authorities could have gone to the bottom of any such evidence as soon as it was received; but it has never been submitted.
Senator Harrison: Do you think there was any difference in the ends that were desired by these leaders and the masses that were involved in these indignation meetings?
Mr. Bruce: Absolutely.
Senator Harrison: There was a great difference?
Mr. Bruce: The masses of people so far as there were masses—were indignant, righteously indignant, at the real and supposed activities of this man Moens. The leaders, possibly with some exceptions, did not care a fig about anything except the opportunity which this indignation gave them to promote their own personal animosities and their own political purposes. As between the leaders and the masses, the difference was immense. In the one case no blame could properly be placed. In the other case the responsibility for or-
ganized falsehood is grave.
Senator Harrison: Wasn't the gist of the speaking more about getting rid of this immoral influence than leveling their arrows at you?
Mr. Bruce: The minutes of the meeting speak for themselves.
Senator Harrison: I am asking your opinion.
Mr. Bruce: My opinion was that the speakers had to dwell necessarily upon the matters about which the masses were. indignant, but then were very evidently and deliberately exploiting this very proper moral indignation for their own personal animosities and their own political purposes.
Senator Harrison: What was said when you were not allowed to speak?
Mr. Bruce: I was told to get up a meeting of my own.
Senator Harrison: Who told you that?
Mr. Bruce: Hewlett.
Senator Harrison: The presiding officer?
Mr. Bruce: Yes, sir; Mrs. Tanner also.
Senator Harrison: Did he say that privately or publicly?
Mr. Bruce: Hewlett said that to me privately. I told him, as I said in my statement, that I had a very important letter from someone in the Department of Justice which I wanted to read in the interest of the truth. He told me that he did not care anything about the Department of Justice and that I could not read the letter.
Senator Harrison: I notice in the presiding officer's remarks, he says and makes no mention of your name, so far as I can find it. Yes; he mentions you. He says: "You know if you are not guilty your friends will not put you in." He says that twice, and he says that you can notify the Board of Education that the people of Washington are backed by the Church of God and the Lord Jesus Christ, and we demand of them as a school board that they stand for morality; and morality we must have in our schools, and morality we are going to have if we have no schools. That was all right, wasn't it?
Mr. Bruce: Yes.
Senator Harrison: Was not that the gist of his remarks?
Mr. Bruce: The facts are exactly as I have stated.
Senator Harrison: So the masses had a different opinion from you touching the connection of Charlotte Hunter with Moens and the work of Moens in the public schools?
Mr. Bruce: Yes.
Senator Harrison: And you don't think that the circumstances warranted that conclusion upon their part?
Mr. Bruce: I do not.
Senator Harrison: And yet you don't condemn them—the masses?
Mr. Bruce: No. I do not think that anyone could condemn the masses of colored people for their perfectly sincere indignation. The methods which they were prompted to employ were unfortunate. If any evidence was developed anywhere among them, the intelligent thing to do was to submit that evidence to the responsible authorities. That was never done.
Senator Harrison: Well, if you could not get evidence, how could you expect an outsider to get the evidence? Mr. Bruce: They acted as if they had evidence. Senator Harrison: But they acted that way because from 1916 to October, 1918, this man Moens had been permitted to visit in the public schools of Washington through a letter twice given him by the president of the school board and because the teacher who was involved was continued in the schools as a teacher from October until April, 1919. Don't you think that those are circumstances that would cause great indignation upon the part of the parents of the school children that were attending the schools? Mr. Bruce: One fundamental factor must not be overlooked.: That no complaint came to the school administration, so far as I know, at any time from the parent of any child.

REV. J. A. TAYLOR

Sketch of Dr. Taylor.
Dr. Taylor attended the public schools of Virginia and Scoots Academy, after which he graduated from the Howard University with high honors, May 27, 1887. On May 29, 1887, he visited Garfield, D. C., and organized a Baptist Mission, which consisted of five persons. This mission was organized and recognized as a regular Baptist Church during the month of August, 1891. A frame structure was erected by the congregation in 1889, which was destroyed by fire, without any fire insurance, in 1891. But during the year of 1892 a cozy brick building was erected and paid for three years before the time allotted. Dr. Taylor is much beloved by the
his many year's pastorate he has never had any serious friction among his flock.
In consideration of the great good he has accomplished for God and humanity, and his fitness to teach as well as preach, the Guadalupe College of Seguin, Texas, conferred upon him the honorary degree of Doctor of Divinity.
In addition to his church work Dr. Taylor has served the police courts for ten years as volunteer probation officer, during which time many of the unfortunates of the race have been reformed.
Dr. Taylor served as the first superintendent of the Stoddard Baptist Home. He also served as trustee of the home. He has held many other important offices, serving one term as Vice-Moderator of the First Washington Baptist Association, and church and community; and during one term as Vice-President of the Baptist Sunday School Union.
Dr. Taylor has been a member and officer of the original Garfield Citizens' Association for the past 18 years, and he has been identified with all of its civic improvements. The church has a flourishing congregation and an up-to-date Sunday School.
Lon gmay Rev. J. A. Taylor live to carry on to perfection the well-begun work.
The following are the officers of the church: Deacons: Samuel Taylor, James B. Thomas, Sylvanus Watson, Andrew Chase, Edward Allen, Gerge Pinkney and Richard Davis. Trustees: James L. Mntague, James B. Thomas and Dr. Joseph F. Dyer. Treasurer: Mrs. Susie Robinson. Clerk: Andrew Chase. Choir Director: Mrs. E. Brown, a graduate of the high school.

LINCOLN UNIVERSITY COMMENCEMENT
Lincoln Gives Litt. D. to R. R. Moton — Thirty-eight. Graduates — Alumni Subscribe $35,000.
Lincoln University conferred the degree of doctor of literature on Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskogee Institute, who spoke at the college commencement June 8. Dr. Moton said that the Lincoln alumni was as fine a body of men as had been sent out by any institution in the country. He named a number of graduates, such as Dr. E. P. Roberts, of New York; Dr. George C. Hall, of Chicago; and Dr. G. E. Cannon, of Jersey City, and told of their valuable services to their race and their country.
Dr. Edgar P. Hill, secretary of the Presbyterian General Board of Education, spoke of the power of education in the hands of men who embodied the spirit of intelligent kindness.
Thirty-eight men were graduated and the alumni, who were represented in large numbers, announced their subscription of $35,000 to the extension campaign. The valedictorian was Francis L. Atkins, of North Carolina, and the Finney, prize of $50 was divided equally between him and Joseph H. Hill. The class day game of baseball between Howard and Lincoln Universities resulted in a Lincoln victory by a score of 6 to 1.
COLORED AMERICANS
A farm of twenty-five acres of fine land is given by the Liberian Government to every Negro immigrant from America, according to Dr. John H. Read, of Monrovia, Liberia, now in this country. On this land abundant crops of coffee, sweet potatoes, rice, wheat, cocoa or rubber can be raised, and there are good markets for them when harvested.
"Unlimited opportunity for progress is what the American Negro seems to want," said Dr. Reed, "and he can find it in Liberia. I found it so, and so will every other colored man who goes there and does his part. 'Liberia needs American Negroes and American Negroes need Liberia."
Dr. Reed was born in Baton Rouge, La., and graduated from New Orleans University. He went to Liberia as a missionary for the Board of Foreign Missions of the Methodist Episcopal Church in 1905. He was soon made president of the College of West Africa maintained in Monrovia by American Methodists. He succeeded the late Bishop A. P. Camphor in that office. He was also editor of Liberia and West Africa, a publication devoted to the religious life of Liberia.
In 1914 Dr. Reed took out his citizenship papers in Liberia and was soon appointed principal of Donovan Institute under the Liberian Government. He has made five trips to this

The entire program was a great surprise to many, who had not heretofore had the privilege of attending their former exercises. It was a complete triumph for the conservatory and its director, Professor Adams, as the program teemed with brilliant performances and showed the thorough training of pupils in this local music school. No music school of recent years in this city has had such a finished pupils' program as was had

Edmonds, Miss Hetty Belle Randall and Miss Minnie Richardson sang splendidly, indeed; but it was left to Miss Gertrude E. Bruce to captivate the house with her wonderfully interesting personality and beautiful vocal renditions in English and Italian syllabic demonstration, which was the best heard in years here-abouts, and little Mrs. Jessie Alexander charmed her hearers in "Oh, Fair and Sweet and Holy," and Mrs. Ella Tate's beautiful soft, sweet voice thrilled in ballad songs. Miss Ethel Neverson and Messrs. Vantile Harris and James L. Eubanks played piano numbers with credit as well. Mrs. Ora Baily Harrison's piano playing was a revelation, and if Columbia

N. A. A. C. P. BRANCH WINS LONG CIVIL RIGHTS FIGHT
The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People announced today that the Supreme Court of the State of Colorado had decided in favor of the Rev. W. L. Darius, a colored minister of Colorado Springs, in his suit against Pete Apostolos, proprietor of a boot-black stand. In January, 1918, Mr. Darius was refused service in the shop and brought suit against the proprietor through the Colorado Springs and Denver branches of the association. When brought to trial the case was decided against Mr. Darius, the judge declaring that the business of shoe shining was not a public business and did not come un-

Conservatory never turned out any more graduates in piano, Mrs. Harrison would suffice for their reputation in exacting teaching. Mrs. Dr. W. H. Jackson read the annual address that was to be delivered by Dr. W. H. Jackson, who was detained on urgent business, and it was a logical address. Dr. Holloman, the pastor, said he was delighted in hearing such a high-class program by the Columbia Conservatory and invited them to again hold forth in 1921. Professor Adams rendered Nathaniel Dett's "Honey" (Humoresque) with dash and finish that won an encore. He played also one of Coleridge Taylor's compositions and sang a beautiful song by Salter which the audience seemed highly gratified in hearing. Others who won encores by splendid performances were Mrs. Ora Harrison Baily and Mrs. Jessie Alexander. On the whole, the commence-
ment was a creditable affair and ranks with that of other schools having greater "name" but not greater "fame." This school begins the summer course June 15 and fall term September 15, 1920. Go there if you would learn singing correctly, and other courses are as thorough and accurate.
At the conclusion of the program the following received departmental certificates: Piano, junior year, Miss Ethel Neverson, Mrs. Netta Randall, Mrs. Anna Todd, Messrs. Vantile Harris and James L. Eubanks; senior year, Miss Gertrude Bruce. In vocal culture, junior year, Miss Gertrude Bruce, Miss Hetty Belle Randall, Miss Minnie Richardson, Mrs. Bettie L. Edmonds, and Mrs. Susie E. Thomas. Prof. R. J. Daniels, of Daniel's School of Music, delivered the presentation of certificates with a fitting address.
der the provisions of the State Civil Rights Act.
Upon the advice of the national office of the association, all of the colored branches of the association united in raising funds and employing lawyers to take the case to the State Supreme Court. When this was done the decision of the lower court was reversed. Apostolos applied for and was grafted a rehearing on the constitutionality of the Civil Rights Act. When the case was retrieved a decision was rendered declaring that a bootblack stand was a place of public accommodation and that Mr. Darinus could recover from the owner of the stand who had discriminated against him. The decision is of great importance because of the effect it will have in other cases which may come up in the State Courts in the future.

Did you ever wonder why some peo-

anything they undertake ‘and others—
yourself; maybe—failed in everything?
There is a’ reason; it may be a hid-
den, secret reason.-..
The Helping Hand Movement has
worked wonders for many years all
over the country for both races, both
sexes, young and old, and it is the
greatest helping:power on earth today.
It solves every problem, every condi-
tion in ‘life; it helps the body by im-
proving your health; it helps the mind
and heart by bringing your heart's de-
sires to’ you, thereby making you hap-
py; it brings you spiritual help and
places you in a ‘successful and ad-
vanced condition in life, I am patron-
ized by Washington's best people,
white and colored, and all are bene
fited; no one is slighted; all are in-
vited. “I heal, I help, I--enlighten, I
give comfort, I open the. way to the
redlization of all your legitimate,
helpful wishes. If you are. rich or
poor, my great help is extended to
you the same. Come, to me if you
can; if not, write me and let’ me help
you through the’ great Helping Hand
Movement. It‘is the greatest. modern
message of health, ‘happiness, pros-

tion capitalized at $100,000.00 with NO SHARES FOR SALE
AT ANY PRICE, yet it is understood that a small number of
shares have been donated by some of thé larger stockholders
for certain Dentists and, Druggists whose names have already
been listed,-and will be called on personally in the-near futdre
by the President of the Company. #
The Dentists and Druggists who will be solicited were se-
lected by the. Directors of the Company because of their
progressiyeness and the great advertising value that -their
- connection will mean in the distribution of. this exceptional
dentifrice-to the race throughout the United States.” .
The demand for the Welters’ Tooth Powder has grown so
tremendously during the past six months, since advertising
in the Chicago Defendér, that their manufacturing facilities
are’ entirely too limited,,and has forced the management to
make immediate arrangements -for their larger plant, to’ be
" erected in Baltimore, to properly care for the increased busi-

increased, but in England, France, Cuba, British Indies, and

THE NOMINEES OF THE PARTY.
After a hard struggle at Chicago, Ill., Warren G. Harding, of Ohio, and Calvin Coolidge, of Massachusetts, were nominated for President and Vice-President of the United States. The nominee for President did not have the colored vote of Ohio behind his delegates, for the reason, it was stated at the time, that he was against it. Just how the Ohio colored voter feels, now that he is nominated, is a question of conjecture. The colored vote almost to a man supported the candidacy of General Wood. The Cleveland (Ohio) Advocate, the mouthpiece of the colored Republicans in the State, will no doubt enlighten us. The colored people in this country can find but three faults with the present administration, to wit, segregation, discrimination and "jim crowism." If the Democratic party were to eliminate those offensive practices, the Democratic party would be a power. The colored voter has a great deal to learn and expect from the nominees of the two great political parties. Will the nominee of the Republican party, Mr. Harding, be the President of all the people regardless of color and previous condition? Will the nominee of the Democratic party for President encourage "jim crowism," discrimination and segregation? If there is to be no change in existing conditions, the colored voter must think and act for himself. The colored voter has been fed on promises for a number of years. The time is now that he must think and act for himself. Our present-day leadership is weighed in the balance and found wanting. Our colored leadership belongs to the school of political nonenities and personal aggrandizement. It neither sees nor thinks for itself. It is guided by others, follows the dictates of others, and follows the footsteps of promises that have been encased in moth balls and exposed to the air at every presidential nominating convention. Southern colored leadership demonstrated its working in the late Republican convention. Their representatives fell upon their hands and knees and appealed to the bosses as Caesar appealed to Cassius when he was about to sink crossing the Rubicon. Will the colored people be recognized as American citizens? If so, are their votes wanted? If their votes are wanted what protection are they to have under the Constitution? What recognition is the colored citizen to expect if the Republican nominee is elected? The colored voter wants no evasion or equivocation. The campaign manager for Harding doesn't want to commit the blunder of the National Republican Committee chairman, Will H. Hays. He should select colored men who have a following in their respective States, and not Southern political nonenities. Such men as Charles R. Moon, Ralph E. Langston, of New York; Ralph W. Tyler, of Ohio; Nutter, of West Virginia; Lightfoot and Nutter, of New Jersey; McQuinn, of Maryland; Abbott, of Chicago; Chris J. Perry, of Pennsylvania—men of fighting caliber—should be placed on the advisory committee.
DESERTED BY THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.
"The mountain labored and brought forth a mouse." This can most appropriately be said of the platform adopted by the Republican National Convention. And, just as appropriately, we, the colored race, can say, "We asked for bread and they gave us a stone."
The Republican platform of several thousand words devotes just 26 words, constituting five lines, to more than 12,000,000 loyal citizens—American-born citizens—while it devotes 25 lines, or over 150 words, to Armenia, a country many thousand miles beyond our boundary.
Five colored men were appointed by Chairman Hays on the committee to formulate a platform draft, and they presented a draft of a plank that asked for a federal law against lynching; the enforcement of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution making good the right of suffrage for the illegally disfranchised 10,000,000 of the race in the South; and to put to an end segregation and discrimination on account of race or color. And further, they asked, representing the more than 12,000,000 colored citizens, that the Republican party go on record as promising "to make democracy safe for America before interfering with the rights of other people (those in foreign lands) to self-determination."
Controlled, as the convention was, by the lily-whites of the South and the North, the convention merely devoted five lines to a condemnation of lynching, with the indefinite recommendation that Congress "consider the most effective means to end lynching." On the subject of lynching—a criminal practice that is as debasing of white manhood and womanhood as it is hurtful to the colored race—the Republican National Convention was not as strong as Southern white newspapers who hold no brief for the race—who advocate disfranchisement along with a federal law to prevent lynching.
Marian Butler, of North Carolina, as mean a pirate, so far as our race is concerned, as ever scuttled a ship, went into the meeting of the committee appointed to draft the platform and fought the adoption of any plank that even remotely committed the party to political equality for the race. The South that surrendered to the North in 1865 because of superiorly aimed shot and shell—the South whose repudiation of the Constitution and whose preference for beastly brutal slavery prompted the Republican party into existence just 60 years ago—celebrated the anniversary of the birth of that party by dictating to the party in this year of our Lord 1920. We admonish the Republican party that the more than 2,000,000 colored voters distributed in the debatable States of the North will not enter this campaign with enthusiasm. They feel that they have been stabbed in the house of their friend—that a Cassius has turned against a Brutus. There will, perhaps, be a few colored men—the office-seeking Judases—who will polish up that old sentence uttered
by Frederick Douglas when the Republican party was the party of humanity, "The Republican party is the ship; all else is the sea," and strive to inject enthusiasm in a people neglected and deserted by those by whom they have faithfully stood. But we have found ourselves; empty phrases and glittering generalities no longer hypnotize us or prevent us from soliloquizing, and earnestly too—"Republican party, socialist—which?"

The Board of Education, contrary to the recommendation of the Senate investigating committee, has relieved Dr. Thurston of the Superintendency of the Public Schools.
Dr. Thurston can only blame himself. He should have given the colored assistant superintendent of schools to understand that he was the Superintendent of Schools, and not Roscoe C. Bruce. The issue should have been drawn. Diplomacy may be all very well sometimes, but its principles are deceptive, and nothing but a square deal will win at any stage of the game. The Board of Education will not retract its action in the Thurston case, hence the people or those who are interested in the selection of a successor to Dr. Thurston better look around for the most available man.
The white people want Dr. Thurston and the colored people don't want Bruce. Now, Dr. Van Schaick, is it your purpose to have Bruce retained in face of the protest of the colored people? If he remains there will be a revolution among the colored people against his retention. So far as Dr. Hayden Johnson is concerned, the colored people of Washington have no faith in him, and he should have been the last man to have said that Dr. Thurston is weak. No other city in the world would submit to the longer retention of a man like Dr. Hayden Johnson after his unwarrantable attack upon its citizens. He slandered the entire colored population. He made no exception, and in the face of the investigation and recommendations of the Senate committee, the judges of the Supreme Court reappointed him. Judges of courts, as well as a Board of Education, should be elected by the people.

The plums have been parceled out already. Lin Johnson wants to be Recorder of Deeds again; W. N. Lewis would not object going back in the Department of Justice; Whitfield McKinley would like to return to West Washington as Collector; Jim Cobb has his eyes on something, no matter what it is. But, take it from The Bee, these babies will be weighed in the balance and found wanting in weight measurement, and everything else that would qualify them.

JUDGE TERRELL RETURNS.
Judge Robert H. Terrell has returned from his trip to Florida and is busy on the Municipal Court Bench, where the work is very heavy because of the decision of the Court of Appeals declaring the Ball Rent Commission Bill unconstitutional. While in Florida Judge Terrell delivered the commencement address at the Florida State College in Tallahassee. On Sunday, June 6th, he addressed the citizens of Tampa under the auspices of the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. The audience overcrowded one of the largest of the churches in that city. On Monday night, June 7th, Judge Terrell spoke in the Staunton High School at Jacksonville.

“DR. T, THEO PARKER . ;
Osteopath and Oculist
1810 Ninth Street Northwest _
| | DR. PARKER uses. this table in his office in. treating the spine and
Inerves. It is. something entirely new and ‘wonderful in construction. Its
“universal joint” conforms with the principles of anatomy and physiolegy: of
the spinal joints and is' remarkably adapted to manipulative treatment -ef 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, weak-
ness, irregular or abnormal condition of any region of the spine will affect’
‘the spinal cord, thus causing troubles in.the organs which get theic 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 cir-
culation, strengthens the organs, and Nature does the rest. Dr. Parker
pays special ‘attention to cases of female troubles and troubles of the cyes.

By the Sage of the Potomac. Those colored brothers from the South who went to Chicago reminded me of a lot of babies asking their mothers for a stick of candy. After they received a good spanking they were told that they should play in the white boy's yard four years from now. Well, they were easily soothed and they really thought they had gained a victory. They believe that race discrimination in politics will be whiffed out of existence in 1924. Those poor, logheads from the arid West said nothing and did less.
The Hogan-Cobb parlor-picked delegates went all the way to Chicago to carry a plank to insert in the national platform for suffrage. Their plank, which was made out of bubbles, went up in the air. This hand-picked delegation could have gone to Congress, where the plank belongs, and put it in there. Will someone tell me just what the District delegation accomplished? A number of telegraph dispatches come to this city and the newspapers published them to let the people know that they were still alive. Now that three sets of delegates from the city have returned, what do they intend to do? Will the local Republicans sit quietly upon a soap box and allow the hands of picked delegates to run things the way they want to run them, or will they show these parlor gentlemen that they are the "its"?
Bradshaw was defeated at his own little game. If Bob Church and Henry Lincoln Johnson are not convinced that they blundered in meddling in the District of Columbia politics, they will never learn. I know one thing: Both of these Southern politicians have been convinced to let good enough alone and keep their tongues out of other people's business. The Republicans in the District of Columbia are able to attend to their own business.
My good friend Charles E. Love will publish a newspaper. This paper it is claimed will surpass all previous efforts. Charlie was formerly connected with a local publication, and so was his companion, Charles M. Thomas. They couldn't agree with Finley, so they thought it was best to resign.

DR. E. R. BECKLEY-WAS HIS CASE MISMANAGED?
A local paper stated last week that the case of Dr. F. R. Beckley was mismanaged. It failed to state in what particular, but Tlie Bee will presume that Dr. Beckley made the charge.
He had four persons to testify in his behalf, including himself, and not one corroborated his testimony. One of his witnesses testified that he saw the officer and Dr. Beckley at the northwest corner of Seventh street and Florida avenue northwest, when he should have testified that it was the southwest corner.
Another witness testified that he was at the side of Dr. Beckley, and yet he failed to see another officer walking either by his side or behind him.
Another witness, to be smart and to display his intellect, used the word sociology in the wrong place, which caused a great deal of merriment.
The prosecutor made almost every witness for the defense contradict himself, and in what particular the case was mismanaged The Bee fails to see.
The attorney for Dr. Beckley, in all cases of this nature, had no voice in the prosecution, as in days gone by, if the prosecution is dissatisfied, The Bee will be pleased to publish the testimony in the case verbatim. Then it will be seen that someone lied.

LAWYER JONES AND WIFE ON VISIT IN INDIANA.
The Country Club of Evanston, Ind., June 13. Lawyer Thomas L. Jones and his wife, Mrs. Mary E. Jones, arrived in this city today from Chicago, where they attended the Republican National Convention. The parties are the guests of Mr. A. T. Perry and wife at the Country Club. Mr. Jones, when questioned by a reporter of The Bee, said: "I am glad to get out of Chicago for a breathing spell. You see, I came on to the convention and to look after the legal interests of Hogan and Cobb before the committee on credentials, but my services were of such trivial character that I can't put in a bill for my fee. The committee threw out the Miller, Scott and Bradshaw cases without my saying a word.

"Yes. I think the ticket is a good one and that the Republican party will triumph at the coming election." Lawyer and Mrs. Jones and their granddaughter, will leave Evanston this evening for Chicago, to be the guests of Mrs. Sweich, on Calumet avenue.
