NO. 10 Make DR. JAMES E. SHEE OF NATIONAL T A GREAT BENE MANUAL TRAINING SCHOOL. My Visit to the Summer School of the National Training School, Dur- ham, N. C., and Some of My Obs- servations. By Henry E. Hagans. Durham, N. C., July 23.—Fortunately for the National Training School, it is located in one of the most prosperous cities of North Carolina. Durham's geographical position, its health conditions and its large business interests make it an ideal spot for an educational institution. Upon a campus dotted with North Carolina pine and wide-spreading maples stands the National Training School, with its well-kept lawns, which would convey the idea that it is an institution of at least a quarter of a century's growth. The scene about the campus is most beautiful to behold, and is a concrete example of what can be accomplished by one who has vision and a determined will to do or to die. The National Training School is the youngest institution for the higher training of colored youths in North Carolina, established just ten years ago by that indomitable leader Dr. Jas. E. Shepherd, than whom there is not a greater benefactor of the Negro within the race. In 1910 he came into possession of about 40 acres of land, the most of which was an almost veritable forest. With a few hired men he began to fell the trees and prepare the way for the commodious structures which were soon to be erected. To tell the story of the rapid growth of this institution would be too long; it is full of romance, and its development has, indeed, been so wonderful that it is almost beyond mental conception. The National Training School came into existence practically as you see it now, almost within a night; it sprang up like magic; men walked about awe-stricken, their tongues wagging, shaking their heads and mumbling: "How can these things be? What manner of man is he?" This institution has not always had smooth sens; like all other great enterprises, it has been forced to buffet against great odds. More than once has her mask been almost submerged by the towering billows of an unfriendly sea; but just so often would it emerge from these angry waters, with its flag unsullied and untarnished. Dr. Shepherd has in a large measure fought the battles of the National Training School singlehanded and alone; during those very early days of the school's existence there were many who avowed eternal friendship for it; things were then running smoothly; there were no breakers anywhere to be seen, nothing save an open and boundless sea, which gave only evidences of a safe and uneventful voyage. But before every storm there's a calm; when time had brought the old ship to mid-ocean, the winds began to tear away its rigging, and the angry billows began unmercifully to beat upon its sides; the test finally had come. The result is simply the story of the man who sets out to achieve for time and fame, without investing the adequate amount of capital—the story of the man who expects something for nothing—the story of the man who is unmindful of the truism. "The world will give back to one just what he puts in it; simply that and nothing more." It was at this period of the school's history that you could often hear, "I told you so," by many who had hitherto been counted as the institution's staunchest adherents. Be it said to the everlasting praise of a few men in the State, who have never faltered nor wavered in their interest in the institution nor in their personal friendship to Dr. Shepherd, its president and founder. When the crisis did come, these few met the test like the brave and chivalrous men they are, emerging from the encounter with neither scars nor marks which would give the lie to their faith and confidence in their friend. Today the sun is shining on both sides of the road, and new friends have been enrolled for the institution, and it is now passing through an era of prosperity never before enjoyed. Dr. Shepherd has had many discouragements, but he has never become dismayed. He has fought adversity with a lion's spirit and has laughed failure and defeat to scorn. Some of his closest and best friends have advised that he give up; but these two words are not to be found in Jas. E. Shepherd's vocabulary. He would just politely say: "No; I can't turn back now." Dr. Shepherd had a vision, and he determined that that vision should be realized. So, with pluck and that something within which bade him go on, he has come into the full and happy realization of his dreams, and has to offer as a result of faith and vision and hope one of the very best of America's institutions designated for the higher training of the Negro youth. The National Training School has all the equipment and appointments of the standard college. Dr. Shepherd gives his personal attention to the selection of his faculty, and I do not say too much when I say that this institution has one of the strongest faculties of any school in the country. The National Training School is on the list of accredited schools in the State, so designated by the State Board of Education. A student passing out of the academy of the National Training School is eligible to any position in the public schools of the State. This honor came to the institution unsought and without any special effort to bring it about; it just does good and approved work, because it does not stand for anything less than the best. However, Dr. Shepherd decided to establish a summer school, that he might assist in a larger and more direct way those who are actually engaged in teaching in the public schools. My primary object, in visiting the college at this time was to look in upon the summer school and get at first hand just what was being done. I found upon entering the classrooms an earnest and interesting group of teacher-students being taught by an excellent corps of instructors. The instructors are selected with a view of their special qualifications and their adaptability to the art of teaching. Every instructor here is regarded as a master in his line. The primary purpose of the summer school is to better prepare teachers for the work of the public schools of the State. The National Training School, like other institutions of the State, offers to the teacher-students an academic course, along with the teacher-training, as many of the teachers have been deprived of a thorough academic course during their earlier years. The real purpose, then, of the school is, first, to teach the student to know and then to teach him the art of applying this knowledge in the teaching of others. Skill in teaching and a mastery of the subjects taught are the result for which the school labors. Much stress is placed upon psychology—its place in the public schools, as it relates to child life, its mental growth, the different stages of the child's development. Prof. C. D. O'Kelly is the director of the summer school, and there is not to be found a man more competent or more earnest in the exercise of his duties than this veteran educator. Prof. O'Kelly has been fortunate in having with him a corps of loyal and efficient instructors, who are determined to make things go. There are nine members of the summer school faculty, and each is a specialist. Besides the regular faculty, the school has been favored with lectures covering the subjects in the academic course and correlated subjects, by some of the ablest men in the country, including Dr. E. C. Brooks, superintendent of public instruction; Prof. A. T. Allen, supervisor of teacher training/ and Prof. N. C. Newbold, State agent, rural elementary schools. It might be well to say that the State Board of Education is squarely behind the college, in this new departure. They are giving both moral and financial support. After the foregoing, it is needless to say that the summer school has come up to the hopes and expectations of those who had a hand in launching it. More than a hundred teachers have enrolled, representing the adjacent counties, as well as many counties far from the boundary lines of Durham county. Upon my visit, I found both instructors and teacher-students thoroughly in earnest and very happy with the conditions which obtain there. The moral and Christian atmosphere about the college is the best, and the course of academic and professional training is all that could be hoped for. Now, in view of all for which this institution stands, its rapid growth and the place it occupies in the class of higher institutions of learning, I pronounce Dr. Shepherd as the most constructive genius of the Negro race today. He is a man of broad vision, but not a visionary; he dreams, but does not make dreams his master; he is conservative in action and democratic in manner; he keeps his head when all others about him are losing theirs. The lifework and achievements of Dr. Shepherd are as an open book. He has not yet reached the noontime of life; but has accomplished the task of a man many years his senior. The founding of the National Training School will be the crowning capstone of his life's work. I am wishing for him many more years of active service, that his dreams may be fully realized. When the happy result of all his sacrifices and hopes and purposes has been achieved, then may he, like the aged Simeon when he went into the Temple and beheld the Babe who was to become the Great Deliverer, exclaim: "Lord, now lettest Thou Thy servant depart in peace, for mine eyes have seen Thy salvation." EATING OWN WORDS. Emptiness and Assininity Shown— "Weakness of the Negro Colleges." Scoffing Lothario Punished—R. C. Edmondson Got 'Em on the Hip. Lays on Stripes. Editor of 'The Bee: Still harping on our daughter—the wronged Negro college. I am still disturbed because her fair name is sought to be sullied by salacious slander—slander about her weaknesses. The rumor about this good maid has started from the lips of a courtier who anon did languish pleading near her bosom. Rebuffed, he proceeds with great particularity to proclaim her alleged weaknesses and to publish, after his several years' acquaintance with her, that she has an obvious weakness, a glaring weakness, and a grave weakness. It is a shame and scandal. With this trusty birch rod I am on the trail of this scoffing Lothario, solidant Negro scholar—him with a white college diploma, a Harvard hall-mark, Swampscott swagger and Pequot penetration, with pie-eating proclivity. We whose fortune it is to live farther South, and whose main hope and pride is the Negro college, will show this trifter how to bask for a season in her sunshine and hospitality and then, when rebuffed, turn about and, while scoffing at religion, proclaim his scorn of the person of his former confiding Dulcinea. In your issues of July 17, 24 and 31 you printed some observations on the article signed by G. David Houston, in The Crisis for July, entitled "Weaknesses of the Negro College." The Bee has repeatedly stated that the article is empty. A condition of metaphorical emptiness is often attended with tortuousness, and tortuousness sometimes calls for punishment—in this case a mild form of $5 Down and $5 a Month Douglass Theatre Everybody can afford to own an interest in the LARGEST AND FINEST THEATRE FOR COL- ORED PEOPLE IN THE WORLD We are offering you these terms until September 1st. THE DUDLEY-MURRAY UNITED THEATRE CORPORATION Phone N-1031 1232 You Street, N. W. punishment, as a deterrent, will, perhaps, suffice. To me the task of administering a castigation is not pleasant. Lest some of your readers may not be readers of The Crisis, I will now briefly summarize Mr. Houston's postulates, with his reasons. The long article states no central proposition or thesis to be proved—not in the introduction of twenty-eight lines nor elsewhere. However, the introduction intimates in a vague general way that there is something wrong with the Negro college, or, to use Houston's precise term, "his own college." This is to say, "Something is rotten in the State of Denmark." The article now proceeds to discuss in turn three alleged several kinds of weakness, described, respectively, by the attributes "first obvious," "second glaring," and "third grave." These are postulated in three leading propositions. They are the only weaknesses expressly stated up to this point, although from the attributes of extension, "first," "second" and "third," one might suppose there is more than one weakness of each of the three kinds. The terminology, as do many other things in the article, violates an elemental rule of formal logic, not to speak of composition and rhetoric. I cannot tarry to specify. This is curious for a writer who sets himself up as an exponent of the "scholar," of "the Negro scholar" and of the educational expert. Mr. Houston's remarks under the three heads mentioned constitute the main body of the article. Towards the end there is a wind-up (not a conclusion), which I will notice later on. I will designate these three divisions (these weaknesses) by the letters A, B, C. The whole, as we shall see, is a rare specimen of abortive argumentation. I find considerable difficulty in analyzing the professor's article, because it violates so many of the recognized rules of argumentation, as also the law rules of pleading. However, the gist of his proposition as a whole seems to be, "That the Negroes must control their own colleges." I can make nothing else out of it. Keeping this in view, let us now proceed to examine the three main assertions falling under that head, stating each. A. "The first obvious weakness of the Negro college lies in the delusion that the president must be a minister of the Gospel"—not an educator, but "a man of soul," "a man of fervor." The proper form in which to have worded this sentence so as to avoid a logical fault would have been to say: "The first weakness of the Negro college, which is obvious, is," etc. Results are, he tells us, that (a) the college curriculum becomes evangelized (Christianized); that (b) the Negro college is more of a medieval monastery than a modern and progressive institution of academic freedom and initiative, and (c) that the Negro college is becoming more and more repulsive (less alluring) to the Negro professor, who should rather work for mental than religious training. He objects to these facts and tendencies on the grounds (d) that there is no longer a need for the monastery type of Negro college; (e) that the modern Negro professor has grown out of that, and finds that (Christian) atmosphere uncongenial; (f) that the educated Negro (professor) yearns for freedom (from the cords of religion), and wants to worship the Supreme Being according to his own views of duty, and (g) cannot be cajoled into this type of slavery, and (h) wants no fanatical white president to force upon him (the professor) his notion of religious devotion. He goes on to say under this main head (i) that the Negro (professor and student, probably) needs less preaching and more teaching; (k) that he has heard about every possible sermon that can be preached on preparing for death; (l) that he needs a few now on preparing for life; (m) that his preachers have been altogether too numerous; (n) that it is more important to influence Negro youth, by teachers of correct and strong character than by extrinsic agencies (moralizing, for instance); (o) that it is now time to "modernize the Negro college youth" by liberating him from the preacher-president, as the youth of white colleges have been liberated (inferring that this is the one thing needful to "modernize a youth"). However true some of these assertions may be deemed to be, I fail utterly to see that any one of them, good or bad, has any bearing on the implied central proposition, which plainly is "That the Negroes must control their own colleges." The Negroes already control the small few colleges that they own (about six). Just why does Professor H. demand what already exists? What he really means is that his crowd wants to control about twenty-seven other Negro colleges which they do not own. But he does not show, even hint, that Negro control of these twenty-seven would bring "liberation from religious thralldom." The chances are that it would not; for all of the colleges (about six) that the Negroes now themselves own are Christian colleges, are supported by churches, and they tolerate preacher-presidents and prayer meetings. Is it not probable that if they got control of those other twenty-seven colleges they would administer them in like manner? It is. The argument, therefore, goes wide of the mark, if there is any mark, or it proves too much. Perhaps, forsooth, what Mr. H. means is that the Negroes ought to have a great lot of colleges of "their own" that are not religious colleges, which they have not. But, of course, this is not what he is driving at. The simple truth is that Professor H.—perhaps he represents a certain "group consciousness"—has an all too common notion about the "meum and tuum," mine and thine—other people's property. Two men were crucified on the cross, with our Saviour, because they had had hazy notions about the meums and tuums. The white people just now have no Negro (Continued on fourth page.)

THE BEE ATTACKS JOHNSON AS CAMPAIGN MANAGER. Washington Race. Paper Goes "Buzzing" Around, But Not So Loud as To Attract Attention of Hays et Al. (From The Western World.) The Washington Bee in its issue of July 17 goes much out of the way to criticize the appointment of Henry Lincoln Johnson, of Atlanta, Ga., as the head of a committee to consolidate the colored Republican vote. The Bee's editor, together with many other Northern Negroes, habitually develops a frowning countenance whenever any Negro in the South achieves any distinction of honor, political or otherwise. They seem to think that the Southern boundary for greatness and fitness of high honors is the Ohio River; and that a grievous crime has been committed whenever a Southern Negro gains distinction. It is a mean sting by The Bee when it calls the attention to the fact that Georgia Negroes are impotent in the matter of casting votes for the Republican nominee. Whose fault is it that the Negroes of Georgia are disfranchised? Must worthy leaders of the race in the South be ostracized, suppressed and criticized by members of the race simply because the Southern Democrats are in power and use the shotgun method to deny us our votes? As a matter of fact, does not Henry Lincoln Johnson represent more American Negroes who should vote and who are disfranchised through no fault of theirs, than any of the worthy gentlemen named by The Bee, and whose chief fitness for preferment, according to The Bee, is that they live in Ohio or New York? We venture the assertion that Mr. Johnson represents more taxpaying, property-owning, law-abiding citizens than all the bunch named by The Bee, together. Mr. Harding, if elected, will be as much the President of these voteless Negroes of Georgia and other Southern States as he will of the fortunate members of the race who live in the North and enjoy some greater measure of justice than do their unfortunate brothers in the South. The whining by The Bee does but emphasize a contention by our enemies that we are not yet fit for self-government and that we can unite on no question of politics or principles.

WELTERS TOOTH POWDER CO., INC. TO BE ERECTED IN BALTIMORE, MD. THE E. A. WELTERS TOOTH POWDER COMPANY. Incorporated five years ago with a capitalization of $5,000 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. Not only in the United States has the demand greatly increased, but in England, France, Cuba, British Indies, and other foreign points. elected delegates voted that he should be. He is the only member of the race to hold such an honor. It is a fact that there was manifested much hostility at the last Republican National Convention to Mr. Johnson or any other member of the race holding such a position; and it was due only to the shrewd, careful handling of the situation by the Georgia leaders that this honor came to the race. Therefore, it is not very becoming The Bee or anyone else to criticize Mr. Hays for appointing the man who holds the highest political honor that any member of the race has enjoyed for years. Will we never come to the place where we can present a united front as regards any one in anything? To say the least, this harsh criticism of Mr. Johnson, because he lives in the South, is a very unkind act and smacks much of personal jealousy. The article in The Bee states that Mr. Johnson was removed from office by Mr. Wilson not because he is colored, or his politics; yet the kind editor of this organ failed to inform us just why Mr. Wilson did request Mr. Johnson's resignation as recorder of deeds. In this connection, we would like for. The Bee to furnish us a list of the colored Republicans whom Mr. Wilson has allowed to retain office under his administration, or whom Mr. Wilson has appointed to office. The inference by The Bee is that Mr. Johnson was not fitted to hold the position. Will it also say that there were no other colored Republicans that qualified for office under Mr. Wilson? The Bee names a list of distinguished gentlemen whom Mr. Hays might have appointed, but despite the distinction which they have attained and of which we rejoice, none of these gentlemen did succeed in getting a majority of their delegates from their respective States to elect them to a place on the National Committee. Few, if any, of these gentlemen were even delegates to the National Convention. Then it follows that Mr. Hays would have been unjust to have denied this political distinction to the only colored Republican National Committeeman in the world.

PRESIDENT JAMES E. SHEPARD, DURHAM, NORTH CAROLINA HARDING AND COX. National Baptist Convention May Hear Both Nominees—Governor of Ohio and Senator From Buckeye State, One a Democrat and the Other a Republican, May Be Invited To Speak at Columbus. Columbus, Ohio (Reciprocal News Service). Both the Republican and the Democratic nominee for the Presidency of the United States will be heard at the National Baptist Convention that convenes in this city September 8-13. While it is true that no official announcement has been made by President E. P. Jones, who resides in Evanston, Ill., or by Rev. C. P. Madison, the secretary, who resides at Norfolk, Va., everyone will conceive the possibility that these two distinguished American citizens may be seen here. Many things argue to carry out this belief. One of the biggest arguments in favor of the statement is the fact that the Democratic nominee is the Governor of the State and that this convention, meeting at the State capital, according to custom will invite the Governor to welcome the delegates, and since, Ohio has always been very broad and liberal in extending an invitation and welcoming the visitors to the State, there is no likelihood that this custom will be changed. The other is that Mr. Harding is the Senator from the State and is recognized as one of the leading Baptists in Ohio, and as such in all probability will receive an invitation to address the largest body of Baptist workers that ever assemble annually. At any rate, the eyes of the United States will be focussed upon this city, and especially will every utterance or word dropped by the two nominees, if they come, be weighed heavily. Since this is designated at the Victory Session of the convention, more importance is being attached to it. CHAIRMAN HAYS' BLUNDER. Information has been received that Chairman Will Hays, of the Republican National Committee, has placed Henry Lincoln Johnson, of Georgia, in charge to direct the campaign among colored voters. The Advocate does not wish to detract from Mr. Johnson's ability as a lawyer or from his success as a politician in the State of Georgia, but we seriously question the selection of a man who has never voted for a Republican candidate for President being placed in charge of directing the more than a million colored men in the Northern States, who vote at each and every election. It would have been just as consistent for the Republicans to have chosen a man from Porto Rico, Hawaii or the Philippines—dependencies that contribute not a single vote to Republican success to fill the position of National Chairman, now held by Mr. Hays, as to have selected a colored man from Georgia who has never exercised the right to vote, and who hales from a State that has not and will not contribute a single electoral vote to the Republican ticket, to "direct" the colored voters. We have often heard about the "blind leading the blind," but this suggests that "the blind is to lead those who see"; that the voters—real voters—are to be directed by one who does not vote. The more than a million colored voters in the debatable Northern States, upon whose support and votes party success is more or less dependent, view with misgivings this repudiation of them in favor of one who cannot deliver a single vote—not even his own, to the party. For years the voting men in the North, until Roosevelt broke the precedent, while quadrennially contributing to the success of the party, were compelled to see Southern men, who contributed nothing, monopolize all the representation accorded to the race. The selection of Mr. Johnson as "director" of the colored voters in the North—as there are none in the South—suggests, perhaps, a renaissance, a return of the times when they, after aiding to bring about Republican success, were compelled to remain outside, while men from the South feasted upon things they did not produce. The fight The Advocate has made is making and will continue to make for equality, for our brothers in the South will not permit of a misrepresentation being placed on its objection raised against Mr. Johnson's selection. Had Chairman Hays consulted colored men in the Northern States, who voted annually, and quadrennially, he perhaps would not have made this error. We do not propose to speak for the other Northern States, but we know we are safe in saying that the voting 150,000 colored men in Ohio do not approve of the selection. Editorial from the Cleveland Advocate. BUREAU OF ENGRAVING AND PRINTING. The board of directors of the Relief Association met Monday at the residence of Mr. John Boston. 418 D street southeast, to investigate applications. At the conclusion of the business session, Mr. Boston seated the members of the board at a feast which was enjoyed by all. The members of the superintendent's staff presented to the retiring superintendent, Captain King, a fine silver tea set. Mr. James Ross made the presentation speech, which was responded to by the captain in a few well-chosen words. He has been in the Treasury Department for over forty years. The committee consisted of Thomas H. Pye, Thomas H. Lee and Robert Tate. The stockholders' meeting of the Georgetown Association of the G. U. O. of O. F. was held July 27.

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

Clark Taylor, Deputy Register of Wills for the District of Columbia, Clerk of the Probate Court. Charles P. Ford. Attorney "FINDING THE WAY." Ralph W. Tyler's Review of Dr. Moton's Book. Dr. Robert Russa Moton, successor to the late Dr. Booker T. Washington as principal of Tuskegee Institute, has written a book, "Finding the Way." Necessarily a reading of it prompts its being classed under the head of "autobiography." Dr. Washington's "Up From Slavery" and "The Man Farthest Down" strictly speaking, come under the same classification, although they were more illuminating as to racial conditions and racial needs, as he saw them. Dr. Washington, in a modest way, incorporated his struggles and achievements in the volumes he put out. But Dr. Washington had really achieved something—something out of the ordinary—many things, big things—before he presumed to add to the innumerable volumes that clutter up library bookshelves. Dr. Washington was the colored pioneer in industrial education. Dr. Moton did not wait until he had achieved sufficient to justify the public in perusing his "talk" about himself, but he has assumed to make a too previous autobiography; he gives to an unconcerned public his life as an apparent advertisement to facilitate his future rather than a memorial to a life of great achievements. "Finding the Way," Dr. Moton's book, suggests a limitation, rather than achievements. Dr. Washington founded and erected; he was an architect. Dr. Moton, by a board of trustees' selection, merely became a "caretaker." This does not necessarily mean that he way not, in the future, become an achiever of big things. "Finding the Way" is a sort of potpourri of inconsequentials—commonplace events—by extreme verboseness made into a book, an autobiography. Had "Finding the Way" never been written and never offered to a surfeited public, its absence would never have created an oppressive vacuum; and, perhaps, a longer delay in attempting to capitalize a lack of justifying achievements would have served Dr. Moton's future far better, for there is no longevity in "hasty pudding" literary productions. Ten or fifteen years hence, perhaps, Dr. Moton will have earned the right to write, as an inspiration to others, an autobiography. I have been discussing in my brain some very weighty subjects, one of which has been the officers of the National Negro Business League. I have been thinking what the members of that organization have been thinking since its organization. At every meeting, held annually, the same set of officers has been chosen and the same stereotyped committee has made out the program. At last the eyes of some of the members have been opened, and some strange things may be said if the program of the opposition is successfully carried out. It is said that the opposition is not strong enough and hasn't sensed enough to retire Drs. Moton and Scott. I shall endeavor to present at the next meeting of the league and see and hear what is and will be done. President John W. Lewis is going to Philadelphia with blood in his eye and with his sword out. He means to meet all comers Jack Lightfoot, of Atlantic City. N. J., is some politician. I am sorry that he and Nutter parted company. This was a strong combination when it was in action. Now Jesse H. Foster has gone beyond the hills of Anacostia and erected a house and dye shop. Jesse declared that his lungs have expanded to such an extent that the neighbors in the vicinity of Eleventh and U complained to the Health Department that his lungs were annoying the neighborhood, hence he moved where the air of the hills will carry what comes from his lungs to the Eastern Branch without noise. You know, Jesse can be heard from Eleventh and U to the Whitelaw, and his voice is more distinctly heard when he and John W. Lewis begin to discuss schemes. Judge Hardison belched forth an edict last week which has put certain "cappers" on notice. The Prince of Capfers has not been disturbed. He has the support of some plainclothes men. Just notice when court opens in the morning who has the most cases from police headquarters. How does he get them? Who tips his office? That is the question that has not yet been answered. Charles E. Lane, Jr., is some hustler. If he doesn't sell the stock for the Dudley-Murray Corporation, it will be no fault of his. He is right on the job and if all reports are correct it will not be long before sufficient funds will be in hand to begin business in deed and in fact. I understand that the Crandall Corporation will in all probability begin the new theatre. If so, there will be a sweet scrambling and cracking of the dry bones. **** The latest fad is the publication of a daily paper. Perhaps so, but if a colored daily is to succeed in this city something will be done that has not been done in the days of Douglass. Roscoe C. Bruce comes up smiling now. When Senator Pat Harrison returns to the city there will not be so many smiles on the face of Roscoe and his man Friday. I called on the old religious sage a few evenings ago and found the aged hermit diving into a pile of books, as usual. The old sage will never rest until he gets his book in front of him. This book must cover two millions of pages by now. He has been writing from the time Noah's Ark was in existence, and what he failed to cover is through no fault of his. Well, don't you know, it is interesting to talk with the old hermit and sage, Maxfield. He purchases every new book that comes on the market and every interesting obsolete book in existence. Now, in speaking of Miles C. Maxfield, he is the most interesting being in the vicinity of First street. I have something interesting to say about old M. C. in my next. Want the Fool-Killer and Ass-Bridler Societies Organized—Suggestion of Bee Proves Popular. Sends Membership Fee. Editor of The Bee: Your suggestion in July 31 Bee for two protective societies, the National Association of Fool-Killers and the National Association of Ass-Bridlers, is a brilliant inspiration and very timely. You hit the nail on the head. But there is no real necessity for the two societies having the same object. Keep the two names, but combine the two societies into one, and call it for short N. A. F. K. and N. A. A. B., or still shorter, F. K. and A. B. The way to do it is to do it. I englece $1 for my 1920 dues in the consolidated society. Use the money toward expenses in organizing. I suggest for the coat-of-arms ot crest the stuffed club or the big stick. Gideon Whackum. Let the N. A. A. C. P. Act. Editor of The Bee: Really, we do not need another general protective colored organization. The existing N. A. A. C. P. can fill the bill. As for fool-killing and ass-bridling, the N. A. A. C. P. can do that. Some internal reform may be necessary, however. Editor of the Bee I am convinced that you are the leading authority on political and social humbuggery affecting "our people." Your recent remarks about the "race adjustment expert" are only a new evidence that you have "got the goods" on quite a line of race fakers. Please continue until further notice to send my Bee to my new address attached, and do not overlook the matter. Now, Mr. Chase, I know you are not much of a "jiner" and don't spend much time with organizations "for our people"; but I think you ought to push at least one of the proposed new societies that you suggest in your last issue—National Association of Fool-Killers and National Association of Ass-Bridlers. I hereby nominate Mr. W. Calvin Chase for president of both societies, with general headquarters at The Bee office, 1109 I street northwest, Washington. I hear some say there is just one difficulty about these propositions—"Who will bell the cat?" I say that in some cases we ought to bounce the cat. I think we can safely leave the details to our president after the members point out the offensive cats. As for me, I am willing to help both in the belling and the bouncing. Yours, J. Johnson. P. S. Please mail me five copies of Bee for July 17, five for July 24 and five for July 31. Money enclosed. J. J. Note.-The Editor thanks Mr. Johnson, but he has decided not to stand in future for any public office. The Bee has long been in the business of fool-killing and ass-bridling, and either of the new associations will be welcomed to make headquarters here.-Editor. A trustees and stewards' rally took place at Calloway M. E. Church last Sunday, which proved quite a success. It was known as a P. O. Rally. The captains of the rally reported $780.52 in cash. The rally will be continued through the second Sunday in August In August. At 11 a. m, the pastor, Rev. J. G. Grant, preached a very able sermon; subject "Temple Tax." Rev. A. J. Mitchell, pastor of Mt. Zion M. E. Church, Washington, preached to a very large audience at 3 p. m., on "Restored Power." A sacred concert was given by the choir at night. Under the new pastor the church is taking on new life both spiritually and financially. We wish him continued success: Before After For Corns and Bunions. Will Cure All Foot Ailments.

POTOMAC RIVER BAPTIST ASSOCIATIONS MEETS The Potomac River Baptist Association met in its eighteenth annual session, July 27 to 29, at the Oak Grove Baptist Church, Charles county, Md., Rev. R. B. Ward, D., D., president. While he was not able to be present, the vice-moderator, Rev. John H. Grimes, handled the affairs perfectly, and, indeed, it was a grand gathering, and the officers and ladies' committee deserve great credit for the way they handled the delegates and the sumptuous manner in which they fed them. No one was allowed to go hungry or half fed. The delegates especially were pleased with their sleeping quarters. They all said that the wee, sma' hours of the night were not broken by those pestiferous creatures that crawl over one's pillow and stab one in the gland. The opening sermon was delivered by Rev. S. J. Russell, of Somerset Beach, Va.; the educational sermon was by Rev. E. Thomas Broadus, of Zion Hilltop, Md.; that to the Sunday School Convention by Rev. R. O. G. Hunter, of Washington. There also was a sermon by Rev. J. P. Nichols, of Washington; the doctrinal sermon by Rev. C. P. Pratt, of Virginia, and a sermon by Rev. P. J. Mitchell, of Washington. Rev. Yancy Warren, president of the Sunday School Convention, made a splendid financial report. The Women's Convention, presided over by Mrs. Julia Price, brought in over $100, and presented the association with $78. The sermon to that convention was delivered by Rev. J. H. Porter, of Virginia. On Wednesday, July 28. Mr. John W. Lewis, of the Industrial Savings Bank, delivered an address full of practical sense and sound instruction. It had its immediate effect and matured into an organization in keeping with the Improvement Association. Mr. James Russell also made an address and did some effective work for the Crusader Magazine. The Potomac Association banked $88 in the foundation, fund for the Old Folks' Home. The slate of officers was all elected except the corresponding secretary. Rev. E. Thomas Broaddus was elected to fill that office. Officers: Rev. R. B. Ward, president; Mrs. Hannah Ward, secretary; Rev. J. H. Grimes, first vice-president; Rev. C. P. Pratt, second vice-president; Mr. Charles Ross, treasurer; Rev. S. J. Russell, chairman executive board; Rev. E. Thomas Broaddus, corresponding secretary; Rev. Yancy, Warren, president Sunday School Convention; Mrs. Julia Price, president Women's Convention; missionaries—Rev. R. D. Grimes, King George, Va.; Rev. R. O. G. Hunter, Charles county, Md. All correspondence should be addressed to Rev. E. Thomas Broaddus, corresponding secretary, 4726 Sheriff avenue, Deanwood, D. C. The association adjourned to meet at the Mt. Moriah Baptist Church, King George county, Va., Rev. J. H. Grimes, pastor, Tuesday after the fourth Sunday in July,1921.

Nearly $300 was realized, which sum is to go into the treasury of the Queen Esther Chapter (Masonic). The pageant was a most creditable affair, and its directress, Mrs. Minnie B.
