--- R. C. EDMONSON MAKES AN ABLE DEFENSE ON G.C. HOUSTON'S ATTACK ON NEGRO COLLEGES. Editor of The Bee: "Weaknesses of the Negro Colleges" is the title of a long article in The Crisis magazine for July, by G. David Houston. The article is a bitter diatribe against persons, things and practices, the most of which are not named and not located. In reality, the assault is directed against persons, things and practices in the following order: Against the president of Howard University, the colored trustees of Howard, the trustees of Howard generally, the management of those Negro colleges that are controlled by white people, the management of Negro colleges generally, the practice of employing white presidents and white professors for Negro colleges, the college charters which provide self-perpetuating boards of directors for Negro colleges, the employing of ministers of the gospel as presidents of some of those colleges, and the emphasis given to religious teaching in Negro colleges. The article is especially contemptuous of white teachers for Negroes. The article, though long and labored, is peculiar in that it contains not a scintilla of information; does not attempt to prove any definite central proposition, and offers no practical solution of any problem. The writer asserts that there is a "first obvious weakness," a "second glaring weakness," and a "third grave weakness" of the Negro colleges, namely, respectively, the preacher president, the white president and the superannuated (mossback) trustees. These three assertions, with the remarks following each, are the nearest approach to any proposition or argument that I find in the article. While the performance is signally negative as to information, proof or advice, yet by reason of earmarks indicating it to be the composite product of several authors and by reason of its evident revolutionary or mischief-making design, the article is likely to attract wide attention. The author is said to be a New England man, comparatively young, a graduate of Harvard University, a former teacher in the public schools of Baltimore and at Tuskegee Institute, and for a short time recently a professor of rhetoric at Howard University. He is now a teacher of English in the Dunbar High School, at Washington. Of course, he is a colored man. Some suppose that he was separated from Howard against his personal inclination. the article in The Crisis evinces great bitterness against the present president of Howard and contempt for past white presidents thereof, as well as for the present, few white professors and the few colored trustees thereof, although the article does not mention Howard by name and does not name any particular person attacked. Instead the author makes a sweeping assault on Negro colleges generally, and in doing so injects some of the painful and knotty problems of the general race question, for which he offsets in no instance a solution. The article is scurrilous, slanderous and indiscreet in the extreme. The whole performance is nothing less than an attempted blow at the higher education of colored youth, so far as education is promoted by colored colleges in the South. This professor, having made an unsuccessful effort to function in colored colleges and being perhaps, without hope of further employment in that field, now aims a general ruin. Fortunately, few hardheaded colored people, with no personal axe to grind, will be influenced by the professor's diatribe. They will see that his attitude is that of the fox whose tail had been cut off without the consent of the fox. They want none of The Washington Bee their anatomy and none of their advantages cut off. But we can not over-estimate the bad impression that this diatribe is calculated to make on those philanthropic white people of the North who in the last sixty years have been the main financial supporters of the Negro colleges and the only real promoters of higher education for colored youth. Should we not be surprised that The Crisis admits to its columns, and features, such a baneful article? Should we not regret that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People indirectly lends countenance to such a vicious and impolitic performance? I have been asked to answer Professor Houston. It can't be done. There is really nothing of account in his article to which one could reply. If anyone thinks so, let him tell me what. Did you ever go out gunning and find no game, but only numerous small birds and other creatures that were either too elusive for you or not worth your ammunition? Then, why notice Houston's article? Answer: There is sometimes a pest of rodents or other vermin that demands an effort at eradication. We are often compelled to be rough on rats, although the task is tedious and distasteful. As Bee stated editorially last week, "there is positively nothing in Houston's production but the plaint of a place hunter." The editor might have added that Houston represents a group of place hunters, rapidly growing in number and voraciousness of appetite, not the fewest being graduates of white Northern colleges, "who follow the work of education (teaching school) as an economic necessity" (because they have found already prepared for them no other means of genteel existence), and who seem to have discovered no other economic necessity for the colored people as a whole. They are simply holders of soft, genteel jobs or hunters of such jobs—jobs none too lucrative. Seldom has one of these intellectual prodigies started a large business enterprise—store, factory, farm or bank—in the interest of his people, or sought to promote one started by some less polished Negro. They are not the legitimate spokesmen of the colored people in matters of large educational or economic concern, because their vision is purely selfish and because they seldom or never deal with fundamentals But however insignificant Mr. Houston's performance may be decied to be for literary, argumentative or social-constructive merit, and however incompetent Mr. Houston may be as a spokesman on the things lie presumes to talk about, it is necessary to counteract the poison gas that he belches forth. The malignity of that gas, the wideness of its spread by The Crisis, and the prospect of repeated clouds of it, demand both an antidote and a prophylaxis—a corrective of the evil done and a preventive for future like attack. One main essential to harmony among races of men is to minimize the suspicion of fundamental prejudice and hostility on either side; to refrain from publicly attributing every trivial private grievance to such antipathy; to curb the indiscreet public utterances of irresponsible individuals, white or colored, who seek to make race issues, and to employ a broad constructive diplomacy in the handling of race questions of common interest. The reason is that race prejudice and antipathy are a species of unreason and insanity, and are not often to be adjusted and regulated by the ordinary rules of reason. At every stage there is required gumption, gumption, gumption! This means, among other things, a little forbearance, a little self-control, sometimes a soft answer. In nearly every case of an injury, done on either side, it will be found that the better policy is to deal with it as an individual case and not treat it as a general race question. In the shaping and maintaining of such a policy there rests upon the newspapers and magazines of the different races a grave responsibility. It is my intention to point out that The Crisis article evinces an obliviousness to all of these essentials of a sound policy; that the colored people have no real grievance against the white people with respect to the establishing, maintaining or managing of private colleges for Negro youth; that we have no substantial ground for such complaint, and that we make no such general complaint. Incidentally, which is not very important, it is my intention to show why Mr. Houston is not qualified to speak for the colored people on that subject. Houston reminds us of that blind, angry Samson, a man with a personal grievance, who shook down the Temple, with great injury and loss—a futil, insane performance. The motive was race hatred, personal revenge. Let ambitious colored men, or those moved by hate, mark well the parable of Samson. Blatant speech can sometimes do more harm than brute strength—injure more innocent people. Just now we note that philanthropic white people of the North have under consideration the proposition to establish, in addition to about twenty-seven Negro colleges already established by them, two real Negro universities; one, Howard University and one Fisk University. As yet we have no real Negro university. This would require the raising by gift of at least $2,000,000. The great bulk of such money would have to come from white Northern philanthropists, because the colored people are unable to contribute so largely towards education. We are very anxious not only that the white people continue to support the twenty-seven Negro colleges they are now supporting, but that they contribute the millions necessary to endow and make possible the two proposed Negro universities. A number of friends of Negro education are now earnestly engaged in a movement to secure the two coveted universities. Recently it was announced that Fisk had secured from the General Educational Board (out of a Rockefeller fund) a half million dollars and is now in the midst of an active effort to raise another million We want Fisk to succeed. We want Howard to be equally fortunate. We want better equipped Negro colleges We want the two real universities But just at a crucial moment here comes The Crisis supporting a movement calculated to "spill the beans. It is as if one group of colored people is villifying the philanthropi whites, while at the same time an other group is asking of them vas funds for education. For want of space I must rest here. I hope to pursue the subject next week. R. C. Edmondson. Washingtonotn, July 17, 1920. MT. ZION M. E. CHURCH. Sunday at 11 a. m. Bishop A. M.

Plans for continuing its campaign for the removal from office of Roscoe C.

It was definitely decided to continue the campaign until Bruce is removed, whether it be six months or six years. When Dr. Frank W. Ballou, superintendent of schools, returns from his vacation, pickets will again be placed in front of the Franklin School. ATTORNEY JAMES A. COBB. They Vouched for Him and Now They Are Kicking Him. The Bee is in receipt of a communication from a well known journalist, making an attack on Delegate J. A. Cobb. The Bee declines to publish it because the men who are now attacking him, namely, Lincoln Johnson, of Georgia; Perry H. Howard, of Mississippi; Colonel Roscoe Simmons, of Kentucky and Mississippi, informed Will H. Hays and the District of Columbia hand-picked National Committeeman that Mr. Cobb was just what the doctor ordered. The Bee didn't agree with this steam roller brigade at first; now it is of the opinion that Mr. Cobb gave them just what they deserved. BUTLER HEIGHTS. There is a rumor afloat in Anacostia, D. C., that certain white people in Butler Heights claimed the credit of closing the colored parks in Anacostia; D. C., and now they claim that they will close the colored school in Butler Heights, claiming that the boys at Mrs. Cook's school are the overflow from the reform school outside of Congress Heights and make trouble between blacks and whites in Anacostia. Those whites who make complaints are alleged to be slackers from the Navy Yard. Miss Marion Brown, of Elvans road, a teacher at the James A.

Those in attendance were: Maurice Auterback, Colonel Arthur Randall, Wb. J. Latimer, Elzie S. Hoffman, Matt. Taylor, Jesse Foster and W. I. Carroll. The entire field was gone over, and the committee's recommendations for zoning Anacostia and adjacent territory were forwarded to the Zoning Commission, Municipal Building.

WHITING, President RIVER VIEW PARK Room 5, Center Market Phone Franklin 5473 Some time ago a very well known colored physician, who lives by his practice and doesn't depend on doing crooked work, was excluded from the Medical Association because he issued more prohibition certificates than necessary. This physician surrendered his permit, while two others in the same association had their permits taken from them for a violation of the rules by which permits are governed. The doctors from whom the permits were taken were permitted to remain in the Medical Association, while the physician who voluntarily surrendered his permit was expelled from the association. Those who were most active in excluding the innocent doctor were under a cloud several years ago, at which time the innocent physician sympathized with his present enemies. Well, this is the way the world goes around, and the part the inhabitants play often reflects the present-day operation. This wronged physician is one of the most progressive in the country, and neither does he live by the likes or dislikes of the real estate Medical Association, because most of the colored physicians are more active operating in real estate than they are in practicing their profession. My good friend A. W. Scott is being urged for next Exalted Ruler of Elks. There is a growing sentiment in his favor. It looks very much like the former Exalted Ruler will dictate the next nomination. *** Attorney L. M.

Maybe his auto is among the lot that was discovered by the local police department. There was some excitement in T street between Ninth and Tenth streets northwest a few days ago. A recently married couple threw bouquets at each other until the weaker of the two carried the stronger to Juvenile Court. When two persons can't agree, it is best for them to separate. It pays better. *** I don't hear anything about the Blue Birds now. I thought they would have given a select picnic before now. It is amusing to hear how some editors try to knock others. Whenever you hear an editor boast of his circulation, that he has more than the other fellow, go around to the dealers and ask if they have any old papers on hand. I saw a cartload of unsold papers being hauled out of his office and from some of his agents a few weeks ago. People who have such a large circulation report to the income-tax collector that their circulation is only 2,000 and their income not a thousand dollars per year. Those who write for advertising rates are told that they have a circulation of 30,000. Write and ask if you don't believe the Sage. A circulation of 30,000 brings in an income of $1,500 weekly, excluding his income, so he says, of $200 per week from advertisers, and, he being an unmarried editor, should make his report to the income-tax collector without reservation. The National Race Congress will, it is said, meet next October, at which time an itemized report on the race riot fund will be made. It has been over a year since the race riot and yet we have had no report. **** There is to be a big fight for reorganization of the National Negro Business League.

This company for several years had been doing a very successful business under the name of the Ambrosia Toilet Company; "Ambrosia" appearing on all articles manufactured by it, but, finding that an Eastern company manufacturing an entirely different line of articles had previously copyrighted its name, it decided to reincorporate as the Beckwith Chemical Manufacturing Company and to offer a $200 cash prize, free to all, for the most acceptable coined name to appear on all toilet preparations manufactured by it.

LITTLETON, TENNESSEE. R. R. Church's Threats Will Not Deter the Loyal Colored Republicans From Supporting Littleton. Bob Church, the self-appointed political leader of Tennessee, has begun a fight on Hon. Jesse M. Littleton, who is a candidate for the Republican nomination for governor. He holds Littleton responsible for his defeat as a delegate to the National Convention. After Church won his contest before the National Committee, C. B. Quinn, the contestant, took an appeal to the Committee on Credentials. The Tennessee member of the Committee on Credentials was a member of the National Committee where Bob won his case. How Was Church Defeated? James Cobb, the delegate from the District of Columbia, Bob Church's attorney, was a member of the Committee on Credentials and represented him, which was natural. His brilliant speech extolling the wealth, the social standing, the civic purity, etc., of the contestee caused bitter resentment from Mrs. Allen, a white woman from Memphis, who was present at the committee meeting and who replied to Cobb's argument. She stated she knew more about Church's reputation than the member who was so lavish in his praise. Mr. Church was reported to have said when leaving Chicago for Memphis that the satisfaction he got out of his defeat was that Littleton was going to run for governor. He has oiled the machinery of the Lincoln League of América, his Trojan horse, and put Colonel Swayback Wilson, of Shelby county, in command. The colonel is a seasoned veteran, who has managed to exist on his political wits for thirty-five years. League meetings will now be held throughout the State. The meeting at Chattanooga that passed resolutions against Littleton was composed of less than twenty, who are well-known stool pigeons and puppets. Mr. Wallace Simms, a former deputy sheriff and a leading politician of Chattanooga, commenting upon the activities of the Lincoln League, said: "Talk about letting Bob Church dictate to the colored voters of Hamilton county, how they shall vote—that is silly. Take it from me, colored men will be found voting for Littleton." The editor has known Mr. Littleton since the Philadelphia National Convention, twenty years ago.

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 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 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.

The Bee—Franklin 5992 Chase's Law Office—Main 4078 The Bee desires to place a few facts before its readers and the colored citizens of Washington and ask them who is to blame. Some few years ago, colored citizens of Washington were permitted to enter the grounds at Cabin John's Bridge. Some few years ago they were permitted to go on the dancing pavilion at Chevy Chase Lake, and they were also permitted to go to the old German Park above the boundary on the Seventh Street road, and they were given unlimited accommodations on the Washington and Norfolk steamboats. All of these privileges have been taken from them, except a very limited accommodation is accorded them on the Washington and Norfolk steamboats. The question is, Who is to blame for the taking away of these accommodations? Every theatre in the city was opened at one time to the colored citizens, and today many of the larger theatres don't even want to give him a "jim crow" corner. Who is to blame? Will someone who knows answer this question? Now, since there is so much segregation and discrimination against the colored citizens of Washington, what is the result? They have their own theatres—the Howard, the Foraker, the Hiawatha, the Mid-City and Dudley's You Street Theatre—and one is about to be erected and another in embryo in the square between Thirteenth and Fourteenth streets on You street northwest. It is to be one of the largest theatres in the city. This enterprise is known as the Dudley-Murray United Theatre Corporation, known as the Douglass Theatre, with an authorized capital stock of $500,000. Forced segregation and discrimination against colored Americans has been brought on by the conduct of others, which has been the medium through which our enterprises have succeeded. The blame for the discrimination and segregation has been brought on by certain members of the race. While the success of the progressive classes has been due to prejudices of certain people who arrogate to themselves race superiority, and the attempt of this class to degrade and humiliate the colored people has made the progressive class rise above the common level. FREDERICK DOUGLASS HOME. If there ever was a disgrace attached to those who have had charge of collecting funds for the Frederick Douglass Home, it is the continuation of collecting funds for this home. This piece of mortgaged property has been in charge of a committee of women who have had the distinguished (?) duty of collecting funds to pay off a mortgage that was placed on them by the last wife of the late Frederick Douglass. In the beginning there was a charity tenant in charge of the home, who didn't pay any rent for a number of years. This charity tenant had certain duties to perform, and whether she performed them The Bee will have to call on Mr. Archibald H. Grimke for this information. After this charity tenant relinquished his tenancy the home was given to a committee of colored women who declared that they would pay off this debt of about eight thousand dollars: Ever since the death of Mr. Douglass, or ever since the wife left the home to the colored people after it had been mortgaged to death, these colored people have been collecting funds to pay off this mortgaged debt of eight thousand dollars. Below The Bee publishes an excerpt from the report of the National Association of Colored People, which met at Tuskegee, Ala., on the occasion of its twenty-fifth anniversary: ever was a disgrace attached to those who collecting funds for the Frederick Douglass Association of collecting funds for this home.

Mrs. Napier, who is the custodian of the funds for the Frederick Douglass Home, reported that the total amount received was $7,654.55, of which $4,559.50 was already spent. One of the most important details in connection with the report of the Douglass Home was the statement in Mrs. Talbert's address that while in France she had presented the cause of the Douglass Home to the colored soldiers overseas, and that they had responded by raising the sum of 7,145 francs for this purpose." The committee has been several years collecting, and it has not collected sufficient funds at yet. The Bee would suggest, as both men and women have failed in paying off this mortgage, that the home be turned over to the Day Nursery Association for Colored Children. HENRY LINCOLN JOHNSON. appointment of Henry Lincoln Johnson, som- ly Will H. Hays, National Chairman of the reference to men in States where the colored which the Republican party must rely, is under that could have been made by any politician. Ohio, Indiana, New Jersey, New The appointment of Henry Lincoln Johnson, sometimes called Colonel, by Will H. Hays, National Chairman of the Republican party, in preference to men in States where the colored vote counts, and upon which the Republican party must rely, is the greatest political blunder that could have been made by any man who calls himself a politician. Ohio, Indiana, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and one or two other States where the colored vote is a factor must be carried by the Republicans to win. Will the appointment of Henry Lincoln Johnson help the Republican party in the States named? Henry Lincoln Johnson in 1916 was a member of the "jim crow" Republican Committee and was a gigantic failure and a blunder. Who will believe what he says? From reports, he has headquarters in Chicago, Ill., and he is daily surrounded by a class of political nonentities, such as Perry Howard, of Mississippi; Gilchrist Steward, of New York (dubbed the "Little Corporal"); W. N. Lewis, of Boston, a Massachusetts political nonentity, another member of the 1916 "jim crow" committee who had his finger pointed against every progressive. Mr. Will H. Hays had better appoint a State representative in the place of this Georgia Peach, in whom the colored people have no confidence. If The Bee was looking for a political hot-air artist, Henry Lincoln Johnson would be awarded the mdal without reservation. SENATOR PAT HARRISON. In the Senate of the United States. Public School System Denounced. This member of the board voted against Thurston in 1917 and for Van Schaick against Daniels, although she had served with Daniels previous to 1917. Her whole attitude was in the direction of giving to Bruce greater power. She evidently thought she could carry out her plans through Van Schaick better than through Daniels. One had been tried out; the other had not. I shall not detain the Senate to read from the hearings how she took matters up directly with Bruce, but when she was pressed for her reasons for her antagonism to Thurston she cited what she called the Randall case when the testimony, at page 571 of the hearings, discloses the fact that Bruce himself said in his report or the case: "I do not conceive that Syphax has what partisans are pleased to call a right to this temporary assignment because of his current rating as a principal of Beel and his paper record as a whole. I myself believe this rating question too high," and so forth; and further, that when the recommendations of the superintendent, Mr. Thurston, who had indorsed a teacher by the name of Wilson, I believe, instead of Syphax, in the end, with perhaps one or two exceptions, were adopted. Dr. Johnson and Mrs. Cook alone voted against the recommendations, and Bruce, the assistant superintendent, finally recommended the person who was appointed before the board acted. Yet she cited the Randall case as one of the reasons why Thurston should not be re-elected superintendent of the schools. Mrs. Cook was for Syphax and also Dr. Johnson. Another member of the board who stood out against Thurston and was the second lieutenant of Dr. Van Schaick was standing out for Syphax. Those are some of the reasons why she opposed Mr. Thurston. Another reason was a controversy between Dr. Moten, the head of the Miner Normal School, and Charlotte Hunter, a teacher in the school at that time, about whom the newspapers have published articles, about whom witnesses have testified in the courts of the District, about whom much testimony was given before the select committee—a woman who was forced to resign from the schools of the city of Washington because of her association with a man by the name of Moens, an impostor, a degenerate, a man of low character, who claimed to be an anthropologist from Holland or somewhere else. There was a row on or a controversy between Dr. Moten and Miss Charlotte Hunter, who then taught in her school, and this member of the board about whom I am now speaking took the side of Charlotte Hunter, and since that time, as the evidence disclosed, there has been a feeling of antagonism against Dr. Moten. I visited with the committee the school over which this woman (Dr. Moten) presides, and I say to you that I have never seen a school that impressed me go greatly as the Miner Normal School. I have never seen a school that I thought was better managed than the Miner, Normal School; and as we came out of that building, and down the high steps of that school, another committeeman remarked to me, "Oh, what a pity it is that Dr. Moten is not serving as assistant superintendent of the colored schools in place of Bruce." Anyone could see at a glance that the woman was of superb qualities when it came to managing a school; and yet one of the reasons why this particular member of the board was against Dr. Thurston was because of that little feeling that had crept into the controversy between Dr. Moten and Charlotte Hunter. Away back in 1914, I believe, Charlotte Hunter had been recommended by Mr. Thurston, then superintendent, to be removed or transferred from the Miner Normal School. It was the wish of Dr. Moten that she should be transferred, but the board, even at that time, overturned the action of Mr. Thurston. Mrs. Cook as a member assisted in overturning it. She was afterwards, in 1916 or 1917, I believe, transferred to the Dunbar High School, and still later she was fired; or, I should say, allowed to resign. I want to speak next of another member of the board—a member I Starting Saturday and lasting one week we will give you the advantage of our 10 years downtown experience and as an introduction to our up to date and scientifically equipped offices we will sell only 200 of our Famous Sheltex Shur-On Glasses fitted with Periscopic Spheres GROUND IN OUR OWN LABORATORY. $4.50 PER PAIR INCLUDING A THOROUGH EXAMINATION OF THE EYE.

OUT OF THE THE HIGH RENT DISTRICT YOUR CHANCE! have known for seven or eight years, a woman of splendid character and whom I respect very highly—Mrs. Rhodes. Mrs. Rhodes was ill during the school investigation and was not able to come before the committee and testify. She was there, I think, while we examined Dr. Van Schaick. Unfortunately, she was not able to give her testimony; but all the hearings disclosed the fact that Mr. Rhodes was prejudiced against Dr. Thurston. She voted against his re-election. She voted for the election of Dr. Van Schaick no sooner than Van Schaick was placed on the board, although she had served with Daniels prior to Van Schaick's entrance on the board. Daniels was friendly to Thurston's re-election, and Mrs. Rhodes was unimpathetic with the re-election of Daniels as president of the board. Le me read you from the mouth of Dr. Van Schaick himself what he says about Mrs. Rhodes that you may for yourselves consider whether she was prejudiced against Thurston, whether she as a member of the board was in a position to give that high degree of cooperation that the schools of the District deserved if they were to develop and be on as high a standard as they should. * * * * * * There is a letter that was written on March 30, 1917, that is found in the hearings on page 179, written by Dr. Van Schaick to Mr. Oliyer P. Newman, who was then president of the Board of Commissioners; and there has been no doubt, from the time that Dr. Van Schaick was first considered for a place on the board, that he was close to and influential with the members of the Board of Commissioners. Here is what he said. This letter, is dated March 30, 1917. He had only been on the board a very little while then. He went on, I think, in July, 1916, or about that time; and yet on March 20, 1917, we find him writing this letter to the president of the Board of Commissioners in Washington. * * * * * So he had a conversation with Newman that morning and he writes this letter in the afternoon to Newman and says: * * * * * I asked him, on cross-examination, who this man "S——" was. At first, he said he did not know, but his convenient memory finally, in answer to a question, stated that in all probability it was Mr. Siddons. No one doubts—no one can doubt—and Dr. Van Schaick does not doubt that the party referred to in that letter as Mr. S——was Siddons. Siddons was at that time one of the Commissioners of the District, who was afterwards taken from the Commissionership and placed on the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia; and through the hearings the fact is disclosed that Van Schaick belonged to the same club in the city of Washington—the Monday Evening Club, or some such club—to which certain members of the District Supreme Court bench belonged, and to which the Commissioners of the District of Columbia, or most of them, belonged. The Presiding Officer: Will the Senator suspend for a minute until the occupant of the chair again calls to the attention of the occupants of the galleries the fact that there must be no demonstration whatever? If there are any others the rules of the Senate will be carried out and the galleries will be cleared. Mr. Harrison: So he said: * * * And no one can doubt "S——" was Siddons, the other Commissioner. He stated that "the individual concerned" was Mrs. Rhodes, the member of the board about whom I am now talking. This president of the Board of Education, evidently desired to strengthen the Commissioners with the Board of Education, and so he suggested in this very loving letter. So we have it from the pen of Dr. Van Schaick himself, in speaking of one of the members of the board who had helped to promote him, to the presidency and who had constantly stood with him in his fight against Thurston. Need I say more touching this member, when the president of the board himself has such an opinion of her that even he thinks that she could not give justice to Thurston at any stage at any time? That she embarrasses the administration of the schools in dealing with this important question of the superintendent. I think their action was justified and well taken. So I shall pass from a discussion of this good lady. I regret very much to have to read into the Record this estimate of her prejudice and her venom against the superintendent of schools, but my duty must be performed. (To be continued.) Be sure and read next week's issue. The question, When is a Blue Book not a Blue Book? may be answered. When it is a "Negro Blue Book." This is in reference to an observation I recently made of that certain publication entitled the "Negro Blue Book." To the ordinary layman the term "Blue Book" conveys the idea of a social register and, I think, to give a business directory such an erroneous title is nothing short of disgrace to all Washington's society, especially where others of distant cities scrutinize the doings of social circles here. A glance at the outside title of that publication, one would naturally expect to see inclosed therein the reputation established by the elite, but de lo contrario, the inside thereof contains nothing more than the names of a great many business men. Didn't the perpetrators of this publication know the colloquialistic meaning of that term? Can't they discern a Blue Book from a Business Directory?

Every State in the Union was represented, and there never has been gathered at Tuskegee Institute a more representative group of visitors than has been there this week.

PARKER uses this table in his office in treating the spine and nerves. It is something entirely new and wonderful in construction. Its "universal joint" conforms with the principles of anatomy and physiology of the spinal joints and is remarkably adapted to manipulative treatment of the human spine. When it is remembered that the spine is the "backbone" of the body and contains the spinal cord, which gives off nerves to all organs and parts of the body, it will readily be understood that health and strength depend largely on the condition of the spine and spinal cord. Strain, weakness, irregular or abnormal condition of any region of the spine will affect the spinal cord, thus causing troubles in the organs which get their nerve supply from that section of the cord, be it the heart, lungs, stomach, liver, kidneys, bowels, uterus, bladder, or any other organs. Osteopathic treatment corrects the spinal troubles, releases the cord and nerves, regulates the circulation, strengthens the organs, and Nature does the rest. Dr. Parker pays special attention to cases of female troubles and troubles of the eyes. PHONE: NORTH.533-J.

BRUCE AND THE COMMITTEE. How He Wiggles. Senator Harrison: And on the recommendation or suggestion of Mrs. Cook he was stopped from going to that school? Mr. Bruce: Yes, sir. Senator Harrison: And you never heard of him going to any school after that? Mr. Bruce: No. Senator Harrison: And when he saw Charlotte Hunter after that it was at her apartment or his studio? Mr. Bruce: I don't know anything about that. Senator Harrison: You have no doubt that he was seeing her after that? Mr. Bruce: I don't know about the number of times, but I presume he was seen with her. Senator Harrison: I have been requested to ask this question: State whether or not this as a fact, or what you know about it. The first activity of Charlotte Hunter in the spring of 1917 was to order her entire class in the Miner Normal School to go to the Smithsonian Institute with she and Moens to study natural history. Did you ever hear that? Mr. Bruce: No. Senator Harrison: Did you ever hear that she took her entire class down to the Smithsonian Institute? Mr. Bruce: I can not say that I did. Senator Harrison: Do you know that she did? Senator Harrison: Well, of course, if you did not know that, you could not know that instead of taking them there she took them to Moens' studio? studio? Mr. Bruce: I know nothing of that. Senator Harrison: And undressed them? Mr. Bruce: I never heard of that, and I don't believe it. Senator Harrison: There is a good deal you don't believe about Charlotte Hunter that has been reported, isn't there? Mr. Bruce: Of course, there have been many falschools stated. Senator Harrison: Do you know whether or not you had any conversation with Dr. Moten about this fellow's friendliness with Miss Charlotte Hunter? Mr. Bruce: I have no recollection of any such conversation. Senator Harrison: Did you ever discuss wit Dr. Moten at all the activities of Moens? Mr. Bruce: No. Senator Harrison: And you never asked her, after the complaint came to you from Mrs. Cook that he was visiting that school—you did not go and consult with Mr. Moten about it? Mr. Bruce: I simply gave instructions that he should not be permitted to enter that school again. Senator Harrison: But you did not confer with Dr. Moten about it? Mr. Bruce: No. Senator Harrison: Don't you think that if you desired to find out everything about the activities of Moens and had heard that he was visiting the Miner Normal School that the proper way to ascertain would have been to have inquired of the principal? Mr. Bruce: I feel that anything objectionable that might transpire at that school would be reported by Dr. Moten. Senator Harrison: Were you and Dr. Moten on friendly terms? Mr. Bruce: As far as my own spirit and attitude were concerned. Senator Harrison: Just as friendly as with any other teacher in the public schools? Mr. Bruce: As far as my own attitude was concerned. I had the kindiest feelings toward her and always have had. Senator Harrison: As far as her attitude was concerned? Mr. Bruce: I fear that Dr. Moten has felt rather, unkindly toward me because of the action which I had taken a number of years previously, suggesting that she be retired from the principalship of the school. Since I have mentioned that I might say that before I became assistant superintendent of the Board of Education by regular action had removed Dr. Moten from the principalship of the Miner Normal School, but that action, taken under the administration of Dr. W. S. Montgomery, was rescinded before it became operative. This was on motion of the Board of Education, due, I was informed, to the failure to reach a consensus of opinion in reference to the successor of Dr. Moten. Dr. M. E. Gibbs, the principal of the Stevens School, was the successor named in the original action of the board. After I became assistant superintendent in charge of the colored schools I made representations that my duty seemed to require looking toward the retirement of Dr. Mote SOLD BY ALL THE PEOPLE'S DRUG STORES Store No. 1-7th and K Sts.

Senator Harrison: And you think that has been her attitude since then? Mr. Bruce: I have every reason to believe it. However, I have no desire to enlarge upon it. Senator Harrison: Did she ever suggest the advisability of transferring Charlotte Hunter? Mr. Bruce: Oh, yes; it was finally done. It was not done at first. Senator Harrison: Did you object to it being done? Now, tell us about that. Mr. Bruce: May I say that Dr. Moten's rating of Miss Charlotte Hunter was directly contradictory to her recommendation. She rated Miss Hunter in June, 1915, good; in June, 1916, fair; and in June, 1917, 75 per cent—such a rating being on the face of it a contradiction to any statement as to unsatisfactory service by the teacher in question. This point was brought out by the superintendent in his statement to the Board of Education in reference to the transfer of Miss Hunter. If you desire, I shall be pleased to read a few excerpts from the superintendent's report. This report of the superintendent of schools is under date of December 15, 1914 It contains statements which I shall quote here and there. quote here and Senator Capper: Whose report is this? Mr. Bruce: This is the report to the Board of Education of the superintendent of schools, Mr. Thurston, in reference to the proposed transfer of Miss Hunter, which he recommended to the board December 15, 1914. Senator Harrison: When Charlotte Hunter resigned did you have a conference with her at that time? Mr. Bruce: I had a conference with Miss Hunter prior to her resignation, which I reported to the superintendent of schools on the day on which it was held. This conference was held April 7, 1919, and on that day, prior to the picketing, I reported to the superintendent that I had made it clear to Miss Hunter and to her counsel, Gen. Michener, that, speaking for myself alone—I quote the exact words—I regarded her possible usefulness to the schools as at an end. Senator Harrison: What did she say when you informed her that you were going to make that recommendation? Tell us as near as you can the full conversation you had with her.

Miss Hunter bore herself with dignity, and I made the statement to her with clearness, and I hope not without consideration, that in my judgment her usefulness was at an end. Senator Harrison: What did she say? say: Mr. Bruce: She bowed her head. Senator Harrison: And agreed with you? Mr. Bruce: I can not say, but her counsel said that he appreciated the candor and the consideration with which I had spoken, and said that he proposed immediately to take up the matter with the Board of Education. Senator Harrison: Well, you did not say much, did you? Mr. Bruce: I think that was rather decisive. Senator Harrison: Yes; very decisive. Mr. Bruce: Under no circumstances, in my judgment at that time, could she be serviceable again any longer to the public schools of Washington. (To be continued.) Before After For Corns and Bunions.

ATLANTA, GA. In a recent statement issued by the Child Labor Office of the District of Columbia it was stated that working permits issued to minors for the year ending July 1 showed a decrease of 409. One thousand sixtynine children were granted permits to work during the year. The decrease is explained as due principally to the gradual return of the city to prewar conditions and the subsequent less demand for the labor of children. Six hundred and sixteen permits were issued to white boys and ninety-eight to colored boys; while one hundred and ninety-eight permits were granted to white girls and ninety-eight to colored girls. In a statement from the board of directors of the Pythian Hall Association, the attention of Sir Knights and stockholders is called to the fact that "certain irregularities" exist, and a readjustment is asked for. It is alleged that there is a bitter feeling on the part of many stockholders against the three trustees. The statement urges the attendance of all interested at a meeting, the purpose of which meeting will be to have the Hall Association incorporated, if that has not already been done. The Marching Club of Columbia Lodge, No. 85, Elks of the World, in connection with their great Kansas City drive, gave a porch dance, and lawn fete at the residence of Mrs. Cooper, 201 T street northwest. The affair was a brilliant success. The object of the entertainment was to raise funds to help defray the expenses of the entire Marching Club to Kansas City. The attendance in uniform of Morning Star Lodge, No. 40; Forest Temple, No. 9, and Columbia Lodge, No. 85, added much to the occasion. The Liberty Department Store Company, 420 South Capitol street. has issued its prospectus. This company is to be incorporated under the laws enacted by the Congress for the District of Columbia, and intends to do a merchandise business. The company was organized on December 2, 1919. *** While working on a scaffold at Sixteenth and U streets, James H. Ford, colored, fifty years old, fell to the sidewalk and received injuries to his skull from which he later died at the Emergency Hospital, where he was carried for treatment. No one was able to explain just how the accident happened. In the Literary Digest for July 17, under the caption "Our Debt to Negro Sculpture," we find Vivian Harris, writing in the Africa and Orient Review (London), quoted as follows: "The Greeks, upon whose tradition European culture has been living for twenty-five centuries—chewing its cud, so to say—the Greeks also were indebted to Africa for what they knew of the art of expressing emotion in plastic form." In speaking of a collection of Negro sculpture put on view at the Chelsea Book Club in London, the Digest goes on to say, "If beauty is 'form manipulated to express an idea in art,' as Sclopenhauer avers, then he and African Negroes cordially agree." It is interesting to read the platform of the Republican party of 1920. Industrial relations must be dealt with, and the interests of both capital and labor must be taken into account. In another place may be found this statement, "The crux of the present agricultural condition lies in prices, labor and credit." The high cost of living is hit. One of the most vital questions is passed over in a paragraph of fewer than fifty words: "Lynching—We urge Congress to consider the most effective means to end lynching in this country, which continues to be a terrible blot on our American civilization." Louis C. Randall, colored, who was to have been hanged on July 22, for an alleged assault, has had his sentence commuted to thirty years' imprisonment, which term probably will be served in the penitentiary at Atlanta, Ga. He will serve this sentence at the expiration of a fifteen-year sentence for assault upon a young colored woman, a teacher in the public schools.
