The Washington Ber Congressional Lib OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS SENATOR PAT HARRISON. THE DEPLORABLE CONDITION OF OUR SCHOOLS. VOL. XLI. NO. 5 O.U.F. SENATOR PAT DEPLORABLE O SCHOOLS. Speech of Hon. Pat Harrison, of Mississippi, in the Senate of the United States, Wednesday, May 29, 1920. Mr. Harrison: Mr. President, I desire to address the Senate on the report that was filed this afternoon by the Select Committee on School Investigation. I requested that the Senate convene tonight so that the remarks I might make, and the time of the Senate consumed, would not interfere with the passage of the appropriation bills and delay the adjournment or recess of Congress. I know that the Senate is so much occupied with general legislation that I, in common with the rest of Congress, do not give to the affairs of the District that degree of consideration that the District sometimes deserves; but the committee that was appointed by the Senate to investigate the school situation had such a large task before it, and devoted so much time to its consideration that the committee felt that at least the testimony which came out before the committee should be analyzed in order that the Record of Congress might show it. So I approach this subject only with the desire of backing up, so far as my opinion is concerned, the report of the committee, and to lay the cards on the table, so to speak, in a candid and frank statement, to show the reasons for my action. Tomorrow, it is to be hoped that the action of the Senate will be taken touching a matter that has been before it for some time, and in which the District of Columbia is vitally interested, namely, either the confirmation or the rejection of one of the Commissioners of the District. In discussing this report, I desire to say that while the committee was unanimous in its findings, there was much that I would have desired to go into the report that did not go into it, and there are some things in the report which, if it had been left to me entirely, would have been written in a different phaseology; but the committee wanted to get together in a unanimous report, and what that report contains is the unanimous judgment of the five Senators who composed the committee. In the report the committee said that the salaries of the teachers in the District of Columbia were in their opinion inadequate; and while during the war, to meet the abnormal conditions confronting the teaching fraternity in Washington, the Congress had been liberal to a very marked extent in increasing the salaries of the teachers, it had not, in the opinion of the committee, increased the salaries sufficiently to meet the conditions that confront them today. It would seem that in every other trade and calling, in every other line of work, the compensation of persons who labor for wages has been increased very greatly more than in the teaching fraternity, and that applies not only to the District of Columbia but throughout the United States. It is not infrequent that we pick up a paper and read that plumbers are demanding $10 a day, and I read in one paper where in Chicago they were even requiring from those for whom they worked an automobile to carry them to and from work. The wages of employees in households have been increased two and three and four hundred per cent because of war conditions, but the salaries of the teaching fraternity have not been increased proportionately. It was shown to the committee that while before the war there were about 80 resignations each year in the teaching force in the District, during the war the number of resignations ranged as high as 250 during the year. About the same proportion applied to the janitorial force, to the engineers' force, and other employees of the public-school system. In the case of the janitors, for instance, in 1918, out of 286, 110 resigned; and in 1919, out of 286, 103 resigned. This year already about 50 have resigned, keeping up the proportion of the prior two years. These people have resigned in the janitorial force and resigned in the teachers' force because of the inadequate pay, and because in other fields of work the opportunities were greater for increased salaries and higher compensation; and so, in the opinion of the committee, it is vitally necessary, if the teaching force of the District is to continue on a high standard and to be kept on a high level, that an adequate increase should be made to meet the present-day conditions. So they recommended as a basis for increase that the report of the Joint Reclassification Commission, recently made to Congress, should be a basis on which the Congress might proceed. That commission went fully into the question of the salaries of all the District employees, including the janitorial force and including the teachers' force, and it would seem that that report, so far as it pertained to the teachers and the janitors, should be adopted and the increase proportionately made by the Congress. I regretted today to see the sundry civil bill pass so quickly, because I had some hope that perhaps we might get the increases on that bill. I understand, however, that it carries some increase. In the consideration of this question the committee found, too, that in the lower classes the teaching force was not paid in proportion to the teaching force in the higher classes, and that a proportionate greater increase should be made to those teachers teaching the lower classes than to those in the higher classes. The committee found that the present policy of appointing teachers in the District permanently was not a very good policy; that at times it was found very difficult to rid the system of an undesirable teacher, or one that in the opinion of the school authorities was inefficient. That was very glaringly brought out in a certain case to which I shall allude later on in my remarks; so the committee thought for a while of recommending to Congress an amendment of the law that would provide for the appointment of teachers for only one year, and providing for their reappointment, if they proved efficient. We thought that would have a tendency to influence the teachers to do their best work and would serve notice upon them that if they should, fail in the discharge of their duties they would not meet the approval of the superintendent and the Board of Education during the coming year. Why, for certain reasons teachers in the schools here can stay away for two years, and then come back into the system and have a prior right to take their old places. The committee did not believe that that was advisable and that that is a good policy, and it is hopeful that the Board of Education will adopt a policy that will remedy that situation, or, if necessary, that the Congress shall amend the law. In the report we say that the superintendent and the Board of Education should have the right to dismiss at any time any teacher for the good of the service. Sirs, there is one case when the Board of Education and the superintendent thought advisable to dismiss for the good of the service, or to suspend for a few days, and it aroused the unions, so called, among the teachers. They protested; they went into their pockets; they raised money; they employed an attorney; they enjoined the board; they tried out the case in the courts. While there is nothing in this report touch- WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, JULY 3, 1920 ing unionism among the teachers in Washington, I regret that it is not. If I could have had my way I would have written into this report a recommendation that the Congress pass a law that no one teaching in the school system of Washington could belong to any union or society or association that is affiliated with any outside organization which believes in the strike to enforce its demands. But the committee was divided on that question, and so we left it out. Mr. Sherman: Mr. President. The Presiding Officer: Does the Senator yield to the Senator from Illinois? Mr. Harrison: I yield. Mr. Sherman: Does the Senator think it will violate the proprieties if he states why some of those disputed matters were omitted from the report? Mr. Harrison: Before the Senator came in I stated that there were many matters left out which various members of the committee very much desired to have placed in it, but in order for us all to get together unanimously on a report, many of us surrendered our individual convictions touching such matters in this report, in order to present a unanimous report. Mr. Sherman: If the Senator will permit me, I would like further to say that I join with him in the statement he has made referring to affiliation with outside organizations of teachers, and express my conviction that the Senator has taken the only view which ultimately will secure the proper results in this or any other school system. I make this statement in view not only of the hearings, but in view of our experiences in other parts of the United States. Wherever that outside affiliation has been permitted it has resulted in a total destruction of discipline in many of the schools. Mr. Harrison: Yes; the Senator took that stand, and he and I agreed on that proposition absolutely, and when I took the position touching unions among the teachers it was quite inconsistent with the position I have taken touching unions generally. I know of no piece of legislation that has come before the American Congress, either while I was a member of the House or of the Senate, in regard to which I did not stand with them when I felt that their demands were reasonable. I opposed an amendment offered by the Senator from Montana (Mr. Myers) which sought to divorce employees in the government service from the government service when they belonged to organizations or to unions which were affiliated with outside organizations that believed in the strike to enforce their demands. I once made a point of order against such an amendment. I realize that there is a great difference of opinion on that proposition. But I feel kindly to labor; I feel kindly to organized labor; but I believe there is one place in this country where organized labor has no part, and that is in the teaching of the children of the land. I believe that there is such a difference of opinion among the people of the United States touching labor organizations, with disputes constantly arising, that when the teaching force of the land becomes affiliated with those organizations, disputes and controversies arise, union teachers would be likely to try to influence the minds of the young children to the views that they entertained. So, as schools are maintained out of the public treasury, for the public good, without respect to race, class or distinction, it would seem to me that every cause should be removed that might lead part of our people to lose confidence in the system to which they are contributing. It is for that reason, and that reason alone, that I oppose teachers belonging to unions which are affiliated with outside organizations that believe in the strike to enforce their demands. There are some parents who have strong convictions against organized labor that they do not desire their childrer to go to a public school taught by a teacher who believes in those things and is affiliated with such organizations. THURSTON GOES. The Board of Education Defies Its Creating Body. All Washington, colored as well as white, bemoans the passing of Supt. Thurston, and to assume that the disposition of this commendable public servant is going to put things in better shape does not conform at present to the real seriousness of the cause. School dignitaries may come and go, boards of education dismiss and appoint, but unless popular opinion falls in line and supports the different measures enacted, you are going to have the same continued morbid unrest. Dr. Van Schaick no doubt is a master mind, can mold and control personal destiny, can beat the bush and charm the most timid rabbit out into the open—so strong is the personality of this man. But strong personality has a limit; the populace of Washington know it, and, though helpless to combat the alluring influence that seems to have embalmed the minds of a few, there is every reason to believe the fight will go on until the people get for their children what they deserve—a clean-cut, well-governed apportioned school system, adequate in every way, not revolutionized by some one from afar, but presided over by a possibility at home, who knows the ins and outs and can safely mother the needs and work in harmony with the numerous representative cliques. This Supt. Thurston did and enjoyed. The high standard he maintained in conduct as an official attest the finest loyalty to duty. The new premier will find the task exceedingly delicate and must not expect easy sailing from the start. Indeed, he will be fortunate if affairs get down to smooth running order in two years. The Washington public school system is dual, distinct in many features, detrimentally torn by various factions, seeking to adjust their particular wrongs and to even hint just what the new head will have to do to cement the situation is too remote for calculation. These different wrinkles must be ironed, and it will require a tremendous amount of tact to meet the difficulties and at the same time restore the peaceful equilibrium existing prior to the present friction. No job offers a more intricate problem and one must admit that extreme resourcefulness is necessary to handle the emergency and to assure prompt and intelligent adjustment of the many irregularities that for a year or more has wrought havoc among the Washington public schools. There are some who think that Congress will take up the matter again, when it convenes in December, go deeper into the question and get even with the power that has just flaunted their desires to the wind by the passage of good stiff law, covering every conceivable mooted point. A well-known authority, who does not care to have his name used, said recently that the only way to clean things up was "to abolish the board and any other element that was obnoxious, apply for a new one and get down to business." This appears to be the right dope. An outlawed school board cannot serve the community with credit, look for the best maintenance, when acts contrary to Christian principles are perpetrated upon those too weak to strike back.

Senator Harrison Grinding the Mill (Continued from last week.) Senator Harrison: Did Mr. Thurston, in that conversation with you, tell you that Dr. Learned said that Charlotte Hunter was connected with the Moens matter and that she was the only one, so far as he knew, that was? Mr. Bruce: Very possibly. He may have said that: Her name was mentioned in connection with it, but no information contained in the memo- Senator Harrison: Now. as assist-randum was divulged. ant superintend of schools, if you should get the slightest intimation as to the immorality of a teacher, don't you think it would be your duty to follow it up and investigate it so you could make some suggestion to your superior? Mr. Bruce: No information was given. Senator Harrison: But I am asking you as a policy. If the intimation either by rumor or through the paper, or in any other way, touching upon the immorality of a teacher came to you. it would be your duty as assistant superintendent to follow it up. Now, did such information or intimation come to you that, in your opinion, warranted you in following it up—to watch Miss Charlotte Hunter? Mr. Bruce: No. If it had I would have done so as far as it would have been proper and honorable. Senator Harrison: But you, did not do it because it did not come to you? Mr. Bruce: Yes. Senator Harrison: I understood you to say that Mr. Thurston told you in December, 1918, that the only teacher that was connected up with Moens was Charlotte Hunter. I want to be perfectly fair. Didn't he suggest to you that she was employed by Moens to go out and get various types of girls? Mr. Bruce: He did not. Senator Harrison: Had you any intimation of it? Mr. Bruce: Absolutely none whatever Senator Harrison: Didn't you know that Moens was paying particular attention to Charlotte Hunter and she was very much interested in anthropology? Mr. Bruce: I knew that Miss Hunter had been for a number of years interested in anthropology. Her interest was sincere and was known before Moens appeared on this continent. I believe; but no, intimation of any improper interest or activity on her part was made. Senator Harrison: When did you first suggest that she should be suspended from the schools? Mr. Bruce: Under date of April 7, 1918. Senator Harrison: Not until after the trial? Mr. Bruce: After the trial, which occurred April 1. Senator Harrison: Was that after the picketing of the Dunbar School? Mr. Bruce: No; it was before the picketing. The first picketing occurred on April 9, 1919. I am restating those dates. I have them pretty straight in my mind, I think. Senator Harrison: Now, you stated a moment ago that you knew that Moens in visits to the school had taken at least one other teacher out. Mr. Bruce: I cannot state that I knew that. I had heard that he had accompanied either to or from one of these entertainments a teacher. Senator Harrison: And in 1919, by the letter you received from Principal Wilkinson, you knew that this Moens was desirous of taking, in secrecy or in private, the picture of a nude school girl? Mr. Bruce: I did not. Wilkinson's letter states that a suspicion was entertained, by a member of his faculty that Moens was having colored girls report to his studio and was taking pictures of them in the nude. Senator Harrison: Didn't that cause in your mind a great deal of suspicion as to that fellow's action? Mr. Bruce: I knew that what Mr. Wilkinson stated was entirely accurate, and I took up his statement in due course with the president of the board, who acted in the premises, as I have fully described. Senator Harrison: Very properly, so you took it up. What I am trying to get at is, didn't this girl's parents have reason to believe, in view of these circumstances and in view of the fact that he was going with other teachers, cause you to be suspicions? You say your information was that he, at least, went with one other and Charlotte Hunter. Would not that cause you to think there might be other teachers involved and that their protest was therefore justified to rid the school of such immoral influences? Mr. Bruce: The indignation of the people was highly honorable. It is perfectly clear to me how these rumors accumulated and how they impressed the masses of colored people; their reaction was wholesome. My only thought is that the intelligent thing to do would have been to say to anyone who claimed to have information: "Go place it before the proper authorities." That was not done. Senator Harrison: So, then, they had reason to believe that there might be other teachers involved in this matter? Mr. Bruce: The facts are as I have described. Senator Harrison: Well, is it not your opinion now that these people had reason to believe that someone else might be involved except Charlotte Hunter? Mr. Bruce: I think they were perfectly sincere in imagining that this was true, but to say they had grounds for that belief is an entirely different thing. Senator Harrison: Don't you think that if the information came to you in 1917, as it did, that this fellow was desirous of taking pictures of this girl's neck, shoulders and face in private, and that he had taken pictures of other girls, and that he was seen going with at least one of the teachers, that they had reasons to believe that others might be involved? Mr. Bruce: I can readily see how their imagination was stimulated until they believed it. For example, when Dr. Waldron made the definite statement in his pulpit in the house of God that other teachers were guiltily involved—and yet can not agree that they had any reasonable grounds for any such belief—it was perfectly natural that this kind of belief, might be entertained. Under the circumstances, I can readily understand it. Senator Dillingham: I understand your claim is that while this subject was being agitated at these public meetings that, when you had been invited there and you had information to give which you thought might allay the excitement, that the leaders would not permit you to be heard. Mr. Bruce: Precisely. Senator Dillingham: And that is where you draw the distinction between the leaders and the people? Mr. Bruce; Yes, sir. Senator Dillingham: The committee will take a recess. NEGRO BLUE BOOK. The Negro Blue Book will make its initial appearance in this city on July 1, 1920 This book was edited by Mr. D. Eugene Taylor, formerly a member of the traveling sales force of the Kashmir Chemical Company of Chicago, Ill., and published by the National Negro Publicity Bureau, of which Mr. D. Eugene Taylor is president-secretary; Mr. H. P. Pender, vice-president, and Mr. J. T. Diggs, treasurer. Mr. Taylor was ably assisted by Mrs. Louise Brown and Mr. R. De Gore, together with the above-named officers, in getting out the Blue Book. Mr. Pender succeeded Mr. J. Finley Wilson, of The Eagle, who, under pressure of very urgent business, was compelled to retire as president of the association with the company that was assisting Mr. Taylor. The Negro Blue Book is the realization of an idea conceived by Mr. Taylor, who found that the city was sorely in need of a directory containing the names of colored people and their faternal organizations and business places. It is the belief of many of the best colored people in the city, who have given it their endorsement, that it will fill a long-felt want. It will be published annually.

The question that is most seriously disturbing the mind of the colored voter in the coming election is, "What is the colored voter to gain in the coming election?" If we are to judge by the treatment that he received at Chicago on June 8 from his supposed friends, then his future is dark. ion that is most seriously disturbing the state in the coming election is, "What is the state coming election?" If we are to judge, he received at Chicago on June 8 from this future is dark. In Democratic party, the Socialist and the platform of the Republican party? Chicago was treated like an outcast. He was the convention, while the violators of the to the councils of the party. It was shown that colored Republicans were meetings by officers of the law—the party with friendship for the faithful allies—the columitted, and then they had the gall to issue not occur in the future. The black man has fought in every warion, and his reward has been—he is not the party. The South may not want them but the time is fast approaching when the Bee gives the warning. The black man is admitted, with but one exception, the cumulated more under this administration of administration. More colored Americans are if it were not for the segregation, discarded colored Americans would be satisfied. Kent Wilson would do more for the colored certain misconstructed individuals in his part from those nearest to him. He is the boy many President who has ever occupied theocratic party had sense enough to see that it, there would be no doubt of the success presidential election. The black man was and nothing more. Will the Democratic party, the Socialist and Labor parties improve on the platform of the Republican party? The colored voter at Chicago was treated like an outcast. He was ignored and put out of the convention, while the violators of the Constitution were taken into the councils of the party. After it was shown that colored Republicans were kept out of Republican meetings by officers of the law—the party leaders who professed such friendship for the faithful allies—the enemies of the party were admitted, and then they had the gall to issue a manifesto that it should not occur in the future. What rot! The black man has fought in every war to perpetuate the Constitution, and his reward has been—he is not needed in the ouncils of the party. The South may not, want the colored voter at this time, but the time is fast approaching when he will be in demand. The Bee gives the warning. The black man will be needed soon. It must be admitted, with but one exception, the colored American has accumulated more under this administration than under any previous administration. More colored Americans are holding more places, and if it were not for the segregation, discrimination and lynching, the colored Americans would be satisfied. It is believed that President Wilson would do more for the colored citizen were it not for certain misconstructed individuals in his party. The Bee takes its cue from those nearest to him. He is the best President to his help of any President who has ever occupied the White House. If the Democratic party had sense enough to see the impediments that confront it, there would be no doubt of the success of that party in the next presidential election. The black man wants equality of citizenship, and nothing more. WHAT ARE WE DOING? It is true that we have a large colored population in this city, and we have thousands of boys and girls who graduate from our schools. Will someone inform The Bee what this great colored population is doing to improve the condition of these children after they have reached a certain age? After our boys and girls leave the apron strings of their guardians, what is to become of them? Thousands of dollars are spent in frolic and unnecessary of life. What is then the remedy? Are they looking to the future and are they preparing themselves for future generations? Is the pulpit doing its duty to improve the masses? There are only a few in the pulpit who consider it their duty to teach as well as to preach. The pulpit is in a position to reach the masses, but a few are skinning the members of their churches for self-aggrandizement. The ambition of the majority is to deceive the church people by pretending that their services are worth a large salary: Some few years ago we had a congressional investigation to weed out the salary-grabbers. Congress was then purified. The pulpit is in need of such an investigation. The church must get rid of the ministerial salary-grabber and secure men in the pulpit who will teach the masses how to improve their condition. It is a disgrace on modern civilization to see the efforts that are being put forth in deceiving the church. Rev. J. Milton Waldron has undertaken one of the most commendable enterprises that has ever emanated from the pulpit. He is one of the cleanest men in the ministry. His efforts have been to improve the masses in the alleys and the children who have poor parents. It is a shame and a disgrace to the fair name of this city to see that minister, almost single-handed, trying to establish a nursery for poor children. Here is where the pulpit could be a benefit. If many of these salary-grabbers would only use the same similar methods to establish a day nursery, as they do to have their salaries increased, they would not embarrass their congregations. There are but a few colored men in this city that command the admiration of the needy, and those few are ridiculed by the drone and failures and flunkies in society. The question is, What are we doing? be that we have a large colored population, the thousands of boys and girls who gravel someone inform The Bee what this is doing to improve the condition of these reached a certain age? After our boys' strings of their guardians, what is to be of dollars are spent in frolic and unneeded on the remedy? Are they looking to the being themselves for future generations? Why to improve the masses? There are no consider it their duty to teach as well as a position to reach the masses, but a few of their churches for self-aggrandizement majority is to deceive the church people services are worth a large salary: Some professional investigation to weed out the was then purified. The pulpit is in need of the church must get rid of the ministerial men in the pulpit who will teach their condition. It is a disgrace on modern ports that are being put forth in deceive Anton Waldron has undertaken one of the orises that has ever emanated from the cleanest men in the ministry. His effort the masses in the alleys and the children, it is a shame and a disgrace to the fair riot minister, almost single-handed, trying for poor children. Here is where the problem many of these salary-grabbers would use methods to establish a day nursery, as they increased, they would not embarrass them but a few colored men in this city the needy, and those few are ridiculous and flunkies in society. The question BAPTIST EXTRAVAGANCE. The Bee agrees with the Sage's reference this week to the extravagance of the recent Baptist Sunday School street parade. This movement was inaugurated by some individual to put himself in the limelight, and there were a few Baptist ministers in this city who fell for the bait and allowed themselves to play second fiddle to a circus parade. Well, they boasted of having collected fifteen hundred dollars, but the calculator failed to state that it took twenty-five hundred or more dollars to collect the fifteen hundred. Twenty-five hundred dollars thrown to the winds to collect fifteen hundred! Now, just how much was lost and gained? Someone was anxious to display his big ears and bald head and at the same time show that he had more sense than those so-called intelligent Baptist ministers who allowed themselves to be drawn into the farce. Is this all these Baptist brethren are guilty of, when you begin to think? Many of them do nothing commendable to get into public print, so they allow themselves to be written up and lies to be printed about them three agrees with the Sage's reference to once of the recent Baptist Sunday Schoolement was inaugurated by some individual light, and there were a few Baptist minors for the bait and allowed themselves to play brade. Well, they boasted of having collars, but the calculator failed to state that if more dollars to collect the fifteen hundred dollars thrown to the winds to collect, how much was lost and gained? Some of his big ears and bald head and at the same time so called intelligent virtues, and someone gives two cents on every paper that is peddled on a Sunday, in the church, by the consent and advice of the pastor. The Sabbath day is desecrated every Sabbath morning by the advice and consent of these ministerial money-sharks and vanity-seekers. In speaking of the great amount of money that the Baptists wasted last week, The Bee is merely showing the Baptist followers that they are being deceived by men who have no more interest in the church or the people than a frog has in a hot stove. This four-flushing Sunday business and ministerial fakers should be expelled from the city and repudiated by good people. DR. LUCY E. MOTEN. One of the brainiest educators in the United States, and one of the most progressive, is Dr. Lucy E. Moten, who has just retired from the Minor Normal Training School. The reception given her last Monday evening by the Parents' League was a deserving tribute to a worthy woman. The time will soon come when she will write the demise of her enemies. One of the brainiest educators in the most progressive, is Dr. Lucy E. from the Minor Normal Training School. Monday evening by the Parents' L to a worthy woman. The time will s the denise of her enemies. COLORED WOMAN ASSAULTED We, the white friends: We hope that the good-thinking colored people of the race will not think that all white people are alike. There was a case that happened at Great Falls Station, in Georgetown, last Tuesday. A very respectful young colored woman was returning home, in Chester Brook, Va. As usual, the cars were crowded, everyone trying to get on, and two of our own girls, whom we are ashamed of, started a dispute with this young colored woman which was not called for. The two girls ran out and got the crossing police and another white man, who grabbed the colored girl, jerked her and bruised her wrist and also put nippers on her, which was not called for. We will say this much—that she is one of the best young women in this community, and we wish we had many more. She was arrested, collateral paid, and then rearrested. Are your colored people going to stand for this? We are afraid this is the beginning of trouble. There was no justice shown to this young woman. We will that the two white girls should have been arrested. Don't let this be the end of this. Look out for your own colored women. From Her White Friends That Know This Young Colored Woman.

The Republican National Committee, with offices in the famous Auditorium Hotel on Chicago's famous Michigan Boulevard, has begun operations under the direction of Chairman Will H. Hays, the mighty political leader of Sullivan, in. Indiana, where politics is a trade and a profession.

The political generals and field marshals do not underestimate their tasks. They have a big job before them. The Chicago convention, as might be expected, has left inspiration, but it also has germinated turmoil, and this must be turned into enthusiasm if the G. O. P. ticket is to go across next November.

The Negroes, In General, Are Not Alarmed Over the Situation-They Declare Themselves Ready To Take Care Of Any Crisis Which May Come as the Result of the Sunday Night Affair-No Meetings Will Be Held, But Every Precaution Will Be Taken To Vigorously Oppose Any Attempts at General Violence By "White Mobs"-The City Officials Do Not Expect Any General Uprising Against Negro Population. Chicago, Ill., June 21.—R. D. Jonas, the white leader, and Edward Redding, the colored leader, of the "Abyssinian" outbreak of last night, were arrested this afternoon. Redding was caught at his residence on the West Side and Jonas was found at the home of one of his followers on the South Side. They both insist that they are the innocent cause of the outbreak and that there was no intention to precipitate a disturbance of any kind. Not a Negro Movement. Local Negroes disavow any connection with the Jonas-Redding propaganda. They are keeping their heads and refuse to become excited about the matter. Jonas, it is said, is an irresponsible grafter who should be squelched at all hazards. Redding is a fanatic who has virtually lost his mind brooding over the question of the race going over the seas to redeem Africa from the "oppression of the white race." Wrong, as Usual. The local dailies are wrong, as usual. Their headlines have displayed the habitual folly of the breed, and what was an incident that could have been closed with a simple arrest of one or two men has been magnified into a serious race clash. The Evening Post discloses a woeful ignorance of the forces at work producing unrest among the colored elements of the city's population, and refers to the "childish minds" of Chicago's "Black Belt" as being the chief agency in creating race disturbances in the city. Negroes Not Fools. Up to this hour the Negroes have RIVER VIEW PARK made no demonstration in connection with the unfortunate happening, determining that they were in no sense a party to the outburst. And yet they have quietly decided that if the "childish minds" of the "white press" conclude that it is wise to create a situation out of which will come a recurrence of last summer's disgrace they will meet it squarely and unafraid. In the meantime they are doing everything in their power to assure the city authorities that they have no desire to do other than preserve the LAST CALL FOR PRIVATE CARS TO TUSKEGEE Arrangements are complete for private cars to the twelfth biennial meeting of the National Association of Colored Women in Tuskegee, Ala., July 12 to 16.

There is another branch of the colored men who aver that the proper way to get the matter settled is to organize a State convention at which the people may be given the chance to pick out the leaders they desire to make the fight for recognition. These men say that the "old bunch" are merely seeking to exploit the rank and file as to suit their own selfish ends. TRIANGLE PRINTING COMPANY 1109 EYE STREET, N. W. OUR NEW HOME PENDLETON AVE. ST.

You probably have tried all sorts of remedies on your scalp without getting the desired results, until you have become discouraged and lost confidence in all hair remedies. Chousands of others, like yourself, finally turned to using Seeby's Quinde, and have been so pleased with the result they would never again waste their time or money using anything else. Quinade is not an ordinary pomade; it is highly medicated and is a real scalp food. Quinade stimulates and nourishes the roots of the hair, causing a natural growth of long hair. It will make coarse, stubborn hair soft and silky, and easy to put up in the style desired. Quinade will positively allay itching of the scalp; and dandruff, which is the real cause of most hair and scalp troubles.

Quinasoap lathers very freely and is a thorough cleanser. It leaves the hair soft and fluffy and imparts a refreshing feeling to the scalp unequaled by any other shampoo. Insist on getting Seeby's' Quinade and Quinasoap, asking for them by their full name. Price is 25 cents each.

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

WELTERS TOOTH POWDER COMPANY. Incorporated five years ago with a capitalization of $5,000,000, with stock sold at $10.00 per share, is now a corporation 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 the larger stockholders for certain Dentists and Druggists whose names have already been listed, and will be called on personally in the near future by the President of the Company. The Dentists and Druggists who will be solicited were selected by the Directors of the Company because of their progressiveness, and the great advertising value that their connection will mean in the distribution of this exceptional dentifice 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 Defender, 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 business. Not only in the United States has the demand greatly increased, but in England, France, Cuba, British Indies, and other foreign points. TAXI Calling attention to the discovery of bubonic plague in several American and Mexican gulf ports, and renewing his warning regarding the introduction of plague, from Mediterranean ports which are known to be infected, Surgeon General Hugh S. Cumming has urged upon communities throughout the country, and especially along the coast, to inaugurate rat-extermination and rat-proofing campaigns. "Bubonic plague is primarily a disease of rodents, especially rats," said General Cumming, "and the disease can be controlled effectively by measures directed against the rat. The extermination of rats is all the more to be desired because of the tremendous economic damage they cause." According to conservative estimates made by the U. S. Public Health Service on the basis of numerous surveys, there is at least one rat for every person in the United States. This estimate coincides with that for Great Britain and Ireland and with authoritative figures for Denmark, France and Germany. The annual upkeep per rodent was computed by the same authorities as $1.80 in Great Britain, $1.20 in Denmark and $1 in France. The depredations of the rats in the United States, will very probably exceed the estimate for Great Britain. One-half a cent a day is considered conservative, but even on this computation it costs the United States $180,000,000 a year to support its rat population. This does not include mice. "The U. S. Public Health Service is prepared to detail trained experts to assist communities in organizing the fight against rats," said General Cumming.

In the seaport cities the work of extermination should be supplemented by bacteriological laboratory examinations to determine whether or not plague infection is present among the rodents.

Copies may be obtained by addressing the U. S. Public Health Service, Washington, D. C. NO COLOR LINE. The report that the American Federation of Labor in its convention in Montreal wiped out the color line has been received with much favor among workers here, who, however, admit that they desire to await developments. Industrially, if carried out, this will mean much to Negro workers, who, it was declared, must be given full and equal membership with white men. It is said that this action came at the end of a stormy session which nearly ended in a "race war" between delegates from the Southern States and the Negroes and their sympathizers.
