Delegates, visitors and specially invited guests began to arrive in the city of Brotherly Love Monday morning. By Tuesday there were many delegates and distinguished visitors present. Tuesday afternoon President John W. Lewis, of the Industrial Savings Bank and Whitelaw Hotel of Washington, D. C., arrived and went immediately to his stopping place. Mr. Lewis is president of the Washington Business League, and a man who has won a national reputation by his progressiveness and perseverance. The little Napoleon of finance was met by a representative of The Bee, who asked him what was the outlook for the election of a successor to President R. R. Morton. The little Napoleon of finance was noncommittal, but it could be seen that he is in favor of a clean sweep of the official roster of the league. Undoubtedly, he will lead the fight single-handed against this close corporation. The program covers four days, and many well-known characters are booked to speak. President Lewis was the first speaker on the program for Wednesday, and his subject was "Negro Business Achievements in the District of Columbia." When he was introduced he received an ovation. He stepped to the front of the stage in the great Dunbar Theatre and meditated for a moment, like Napoleon of old, in a slow and dignified manner, and delivered the following address: He Sounds the Tocsin. Friends, Ladies and Gentlemen "Since the first time I met you in convention Washington has made a wonderful progress in business along the constructive line. Many corporations have been organized there and quite a few foreign corporations of our race have come there and established business, such as the North Carolina Mutual Insurance Company, with offices in the Pythian Building, Twelfth and U streets northwest. "The Standard Life Insurance Company, Industrial Bank Building, Eleventh and U streets northwest; the Richmond Beneficial Insurance Company, Seventh street northwest, and the University Development Loan Company of Washington, with a capital of $150,000, has bought sixty acres of land in the suburbs of the District of Columbia, the same being subdivided and now being developed into five and six roomhouses for our people. The president of this corporation is Charles E. Lane; W. W. Holmon, secretary, and John A.. Hyder, treasurer. All are very high-class gentlemen The Standard Investment Company has just been capitalized at $150,000, and it has bought a piece of improved property 250 feet by 150 feet on Fourteenth street, between T and U streets, right, in the heart of the best business section of the northwest part of the city. This corporation bids fair to be one of the most progressive corporations in our city. Its president is Dr. William L. Board, a very progressive and energetic young druegist of our race. "The Southern Aid Insurance Company of Richmond has nearly completed a four-story building for its offices at Seventh and T streets northwest at a cost of $90,000, in which there will be housed the Dunbar Theatre, under the management of the Murray Brothers. Mr. I. T. Hatton, a product of the M Street High School of Washington, D. C., is the architect and builder. "Mr. S. H. Dudley has just purchased an apartment house on U street, known as the Dudley Apartment House, which contains eighteen apartments. Also Mr. John R. Hawkins has just bought a large apartment on U street, known as the Inkley, which contains about twenty apartments. These apartments are now being used to house our people. The deal was made through one of our energetic young real estate agents, Mr. Mortimer Harris. "W. L. Houston has just bought a magnificent office on F street, in the business section of our city. It is now being housed by the lawyers of our race. This building cost $30,000. "The Virginia Hand Laundry, capitalized at $10,000, is doing thriving business. Its office is at 1331 U street northwest. This organization is run by the women. Mrs. Frances M. Robinson is president. The Murray Brothers are now erecting a new printing plant at a cost of $75,000 on U street, between Ninth and Tenth, northwest. The lot is 52 by 110 feet. The building is to be two stories in height. This corporation is owned by three brothers—young men—and they have built up one of the largest printing establishments which the race has ever had in this country. We are looking forward to these young men to take the lead in the publishing business. "The Industrial Savings Bank is now in its new building at Eleventh and U streets northwest. It has a total of 7,000 depositors and its assets are $600,000, with a capital of $50,000; Mr. William A. Bowie is cashier. The Whitelaw Apartment House Company has an authorized capital of $500,000. This company has built an apartment hotel located at Thirteenth and T streets northwest, at a cost of $158,000. It contains twenty-five apartments of three, four, five and six rooms each, with a rental value of $13,500 a year, which is exclusive of the income of the hotel. It has twenty-two hotel rooms with twelve shower baths and four public baths, parlor, foyer, private dining room, lobby and ladies' writing room, and on its first floor a large dining room with a seating capacity of 175. A grotto, where short orders are served at all times. The kitchen is well equipped with all of the latest improvements. The manager of this hotel is Mr. James H. Waugh. "There has also been organized recently a million-dollar credit corporation. The object of this corporation is to finance business for our people in Washington and elsewhere. The president of this corporation is your humble servant, who very much dislikes to refer to himself in any capacity. "Thus the outlook in Washington is better now than it has ever been known in the history of our city. The people, both the high and the low, seem as if they have all come to one conclusion; that if we have a problem to solve, we must do it ourselves. As an evidence of that, our people are rallying to the support of all Negro enterprises in that city, known as the city of magnificent distances. A New Leadership. "I think that we, as business promoters, should feel ourselves blessed to be present where we can exchange ideas so that new inspirations may spring up, and may all of us return to our homes with more determina- WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY AUGUST 21,1920 tion than ever to do things which will better conditions in our communities. We all must know that finance predominates the problem which confronts us today. "Credit, taxation, increased food production and financing of our business are some of the leading questions which we should take up in our meetings. It is necessary that we have a business league, and this league should fill the same position for our people in this country that the Chamber of Commerce fills for the white race. Face the Issue. "We might as well be plain and face the issue as it is. The league is what we make it. We cannot make it if the men in business do not join it. The men in business to a large extent do not agree with its present methods of operation. If it is a business league, then let it be a business league. It is a very hard matter to get a lawyer to follow a doctor, just as it is for a banker to follow the leadership of a farmer. "I am of the opinion that this league should adopt a future policy and then this policy should be turned over in the hands of men who the business men of this country should follow, so that this institution should become one of the predominant factors in this reconstruction period of our race. "Say what you will or may, let the newspapers report all kinds of things as this is the cause of the condition and that is the cause of the condition, and this should be done and that should be done, but when it comes down to the last analysis in shaping the destiny of the reconstruction of this country you will have to take the business man into consideration. "Then for us to become one of the predominant factors in this reconstruction, then we must shape a policy of reconstruction, turn it over to those who will be in authority, and demand of them to carry it out. Not for Egotists. "As I understand it, this is not an organization as to who shall be the biggest in the kingdom, but an organization to render service to its community, State and country. We one it to ourselves, we owe it to the memory of the boys who bled and died on the battlefield and to the yet unborn. The opportunities which present themselves to us today, if we do not adopt a policy and put men in charge who will carry it out, those who come after us and read the history of our past records will curse the grave in which we lay asleep." DR. ALEX. WILLBANKS The World Evangelist In Twenty-five Days' Revival—He Invades New York and Converts Hundreds, Who Connected Themselves With Different Churches. New York, August 14, 1920. Dr. Willbanks, the world's famed evangelist, in a great twenty-five days' revival campaign that shook all Harlem as though by a thunderstorm, in which hundreds were converted and joined the different churches, the greatest religious meeting of all time, has just closed. These meetings were conducted by Dr. Willbanks, ten days at the Day Star Baptist Church, Dr. J. R. Brown, pastor; fifteen days in his big Tent Tabernacle at West, 144th street, between Seventh and Eighth avenues. Thousands of people from all over the city attended the great Tent Tabernacle, which was electric lighted and furnished by the white evangelistic committee for this great occasion. Rev. William Campbell, pastor of the Little Zion Baptist Church, chairman of the evangelistic committee, had charge of the later meeting. Colored and white by the thousands were present each evening, and many pastors from different sections of the country were in attendance each evening and took part in the great service and helped to give the devil a black eye and cold feet. The closing marked the greatest enthusiasm that ever prevailed in a colored meeting. People were all out in the streets trying to get near the barnacle that was filled in the early evening. The parting was the most pathetic ever witnesses as they passed by in line to say good-bye to the evangelist and his wife. Both were the recipients of many presents. The entertainment committee took them to Poughkeepsie and back, 150 miles sail up the historic Hudson to Coney Island, Far Rockaway, Pellam Bay, Palisade Park, Rye Beach and many other places of interest. Dr. Willbanks was in his pulpit on Sunday. Many were present to the communion service in the afternoon. A large gathering was on hand Sunday evening. Dr. Willbanks left for Colonial Beach, Va., to preach several days for the benefit of the white and colored people of that place. He will be back in his pulpit Sunday. KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS. Some time ago an item was inadvertently published in The Bee alleging dissatisfaction to the hall committee. There is no dissatisfaction at all to this committee or to any member of it. Gen. Clay Smith, who is chairman, and his associates are highclass and honest men. Gen. Smith and his committee have the respect and confidence of the organization and the community at large. The dissatisfaction relates to the member who made the charge and no one else. GEORGETOWN TOPICS GEORGETOWN TOPICS.

Lane, Jr., Is Rapidly Completing Most Successful Promotion Ever Attempted in Nation's Capital. Starting his campaign in the dead of summer and progressing through two of the most perilous months to Washington business activity, Charles E. Lane, jr., stock director for the Dudley-Murray United Theatre Corporation, is rapidly closing out the stock he undertook to sell. Probably no security offered strictly to Negro investors has ever been absorbed so quickly. Mr. Lane attributes his success to the public's confidence in the men backing his proposition. However, there are many features to the Douglas Theatre investment that make it more attractive than most propositions offered the people generally. Never before has a combination of colored business men given the people a chance to share in the profits of a business in which they have and are making money. THE DUDLEY-MURRAY UNITED THEATRE CORPORATION Industrial Savings Bank, 11th and You, N. W. Until September 1st, 1920 September 4 is set as the day for winding up the period of promotion. The offices of the corporation at 1232 U street northwest will remain open until 11 p. m. every night for the balance of the campaign in order to give working people a chance to drop in and investigate the project. PRIMITIVO RAMIREZ ROS. The Greatest Political Factor in Cuba—R. M. R. Nelson in the City. Mr. Robert M. R. Nelson, who was for a number of years a resident of this city, employed in the Dead Letter Office of the Post Office Department, was a visitor at The Bee office last week. Mr. Nelson, when a resident of this city, was one of the best-known among Government officials. In speaking of Cuba and the Cuban people, he said, among other things that Primitivo Ramirez Ros is among the greatest political factors in Cuba. Mr. Ros has made himself what he is, and wherever he goes he is respected. He extends an invitation to colored Americans to visit Cuba and establish homes. Farming is profitable in Cuba, and if Southern colored farmers want to become rich they should go to Cuba. The El Hagar, published in Cuba, contains a fine article concerning Hon. Primitivo Ramirez Ros, the greatest political factor in Cuba. Now is the time, he says, for the American colored man to come to Cuba. Mr. Nelson is now at the National Business League, having been sent there by the Cuban representatives to invite six representative Americans to visit and inspect the island as the guests of the Cuban Government. Mr. Nelson will make his selection from the members of the Business League. ANACOSTIA NEWS. Recent appointees to the U. S. Census Bureau from Anaestia are: Mrs. C. Lucas, Mrs. Martha Ellis, Mrs. M. A. Hoffman and Miss Goldine Lucas. *** Quite a number of pupils from Anacostia attended the summer vocational classes at the Dunbar High School, which closed on Thursday. Hungarian Gypsies encamped on the Fort Stanton site adjacent, to this suburb, and are attracting many to their temporary residence. They now are up to date, with fine auto wagons in place of the horse and wagon. Fortune telling is their chief pursuit. Not having any rent to pay, they are flushr with money. At breakfast and dinner they all, young and old, eat out of the same pots or pans. The high cost of living is given a severe jolt by their mode of living. One of the largest holders of real estate residing in this section is Mr. Charles E. Howard. Three of his houses are on Howard road. You don't hear him yelling murder because 1,600 feet of concrete was laid on this thoroughfare and a bill from the collector of taxes was presented for payment of his portion of the improvements. We are glad to learn of many others who are paying their assessments cheerfully, viz, Mr. William E. Wills, Mr. Henry Phillips, Mr. J. Fred. Smoot, Mr. Lloyd Sharpe, Mr. J. Harrod, Mr. Robert Smith and others too numerous to mention. The excavation for the new colored Catholic Church, of which Cardinal Gibbons, of Baltimore, purchased a 15-acre tract, is about completed. Until final plans have been approved, a portable church and schoolhouse will be erected immediately. The location is at the head of Morris road on the old Fort Stanton ground. Mr. H. B. Penn, head of the Penn Transfer Company, left the city on Friday for Bedford City, Va. Mrs. M. E. Taylor has gone to Cincinnati to attend the convention of the Prince Hall Masonic Chapter. While out West she will visit her sister, who resides in Chicago. Miss. Lula Bobbit, after a week's stay at, Port Chester, N. Y., has returned to this suburb. Mrs. Pearl Lockwood has gone to Colonial Beach, Va., to stay two weeks at the country home of her brother, Mr. Harry Bushrod. James M. Harris, after a pleasant two weeks' trip to his old home in Charlotte, N. C., is back and has resumed his duties at the U. S. Senate Office Building. Joseph E. Johnson, Senator Lenot's stenographer, is a frequent visitor to this suburb. Joe makes his headquarters at the Hoffmans'. Dr. Edward Williston will address the Barry Farm Citizens' Association on the evening of Friday, August 27. Editor W. Calvin Chase was a visitor to this section last Sunday and received quite an ovation on his travels. He stopped at Dr. Shipley's, who is the official agency for The Bee. The lawn fete held on Tuesday night at Mrs. Craig's netted quite a neat sum toward the debt on the Non-Sectarian Home. **** Dr. W. E. Hamilton is doing nicely in his dental work. He is open day and night. RUSSIAN WEDDING. Sunday last a beautiful wedding ceremony was performed at the residence of Mr. L. G. Miller, a prominent business man, on Nichols avenue. The bride was Miss Rebecca Master, and the groom Mr. Dave Falk, of New York. A prominent rabbi officiated. Presents were numerous. Hoffman's eight-piece orchestra rendered appropriate selections during the evening, and a splendid four-course dinner was served. The bride, since coming to this country, has been a faithful clerk at Mr. Miller's store and was very popular with the people. The happy couple are to open a new store at Thirteenth and C streets southeast. AN ENJOYABLE OUTING. Smoots, Va., August 15.—Miss Ruby Fortune has as her guests today Cashier Wm. A. Bowie, Wm. H. Ricks. and Miss Cylinda Bryant., of the Industrial Savings Bank of Washington, D. C. Miss Fortune has a most lovely home in this historic place. Her guests are being highly entertained.

Room 5, Center Market THE WASHINGTON BEE June 3, 1920, the Washington Bee entered into its forty-first year. If The Bee had not met the approval and commendation of the people, it could not have succeeded. There have been at least from twenty-five to thirty-five papers started and edited by colored men in this city, all of which came to fill in the "long-felt want." This was invariably the declaration of every new-born paper that came untimely from Mother Earth. The Bee has never catered to men, parties or governments when they have been in the wrong. It has endeavored to be just and fair to the guilty as well as to those who have committed mistakes. Its abusers have been the libertines, the bums, the whisky blouts and the enemies of society. Those guiltless of crimes or offenses can always find great merit in The Bee, whose reputation is ace high among the noble: the great and meritorious, as is evidenced by the following letter, which is self-explanatory: "The Great Lakes Publishing Co. "Detroit, Mich., "August 9, 1920. "Mr. W. Calvin Chase. "Editor, Washington Bee. "Washington, D. C. "Friend Chase: "Some months ago a number of enterprising Detroiters organized and incorporated 'The Great Lakes Publishing Company,' and capitalized the same for $25,000. "The first output of the company is a newspaper known as the 'Detroit Compass.' Our first issue was 10,000, and our circulation of this paper is increasing with amazing rapidity. In thinking of desirable 'exchanges,' our thoughts instinctively run to the Washington Bee, the paper made famous by your own journalistic genius. "Under separate cover we are sending you a copy of the Detroit Compass, and we are earnestly hoping to have at an early date your excellent paper on our exchange list. "Thanking you in advance for the courtesy of an early response, I am "Yours with esteem, "Wm. Jennifer, "President and Manager." ROBERT R. CHURCH WINS. Chicago, Ill., August 7.—News has reached Chicago that Robert Church, of Memphis, Tenn., has won a notable victory in his home State. Congressman Sam Sells, from the Chattanooga district, and Jesse Littleton, National Committeeman from Tennessee, who was a candidate for the Republican nomination for Governor, were both defeated in the recent Republican primary election. Sells and Littleton are the two men who were directly responsible for the unseating of Church at the June conthis is the charge entered against them by Church himself. Their respective defeats are laid at the door of Church. The story is Vicksburg, Miss., August 4.—Max told that Church vowed vengeance on these men and declared that he and his friends would bring about their political deaths when the primary election came to pass. The color of truth is given to this report by the election returns in the instance of both men. The Chattanooga district has a large colored vote. This vote was naturally enough favorable to the Church cause because of the race relation. Throughout the State of Tennessee the colored vote is the bone and sinew of the Republican party. Church is well liked by all the elements of the colored voters. Putting two and two together, it becomes a very easy matter. to lay the blame for these two men's defeats at the door of the redoubtable "Bob" Church. No matter what was the cause, Sells will not sit in the next National House and Littleton will have to content himself with performing the duties of National Committeeman. Charles Cottrell blew into town last week. Urbane, polished and alertly alive to the exactions of his position as one of the close political advisers of the "Man from Marion." Cottrell is running true to form and proving himself a tower of strength to the cause of the Republican candidate and a consistently welcome visitor to the Windy City. He is expected to be one of the mainstay orators in the campaign. The local situation is becoming somewhat interesting. Jim Scott, the fellow who has written "several" law textbooks, has been put on the city administration's ticket for Mu- Phone Franklin 5473 nicipal Court judge. The fight in the third legislative district is getting hotter and hotter, with Adelbert Roberts and Warren Douglas, it is declared, out in the lead. In the first district Lucas and Turner have gone to the mat and are staging an interesting combat. Lucas has the Church element behind him, and Turner has the election machinery. Take your choice.

A REPLY CONCERNING In your issue of July 24, 1920, under the heading "That Blue Book," there appears a vitriolic attack upon the earnest endeavors of an enterprising and ambitious Negro citizen for his efforts in publishing a modern Negro Blue Book. The author of that letter says, "When is a Blue Book not a Blue Book? When it is a Negro Blue Book." Does this writer wish to convey the meaning that simply because it is a Negro Blue Book and the result of a Negro's efforts, it is to be condemned? The Blue Book in question is the first of its kind ever presented to Washington. The fact alone that the publisher has shown his tenacity in being the first to introduce a new enterprise to. Washington Negroes shows advancement for himself and the colored race in general. To be sure, this Blue Book is not the result of years of experience, but is an initial presentation and in its embryo state. Therefore, does not this Negro deserve to be praised and encouraged and best wishes extended to him, that subsequent issues of the Blue Book may be bigger and better each H. P. J.

Politics in its broadest sense is the science and art of government. In its common acceptance it is social strategy. This is a theory that all social units are reciprocally at war. The society in some cases large, comprising a whole nation or group, but to bring to naught their efforts to right the situation and to get fair treatment as members of the Republic. There was absolutely no rhyme or reason for outsiders to come with this purely local situation. The national ticket is longer from the discontent with the local party situation, and rarely to be in any danger. We have the word of the Baltimore and leadership for this, and we know it is true. It is incoherent that the Baltimore people will not resent the meddlesons of the boosting editor. POLITICS. A aim of social strategy is to gain for the contestant the fruits of each contestant always aims to get what is rightful, some often contest for more. Politics the sword and pistol are laid aside, and the weapon used is strategy. Strategy involves sagacity, cunning, flimpy persuasion and threatening. Politics individuals or groups, too weak to stand alone, join individuals or groups on the principle that "in union there is truth." Such coalitions are usually attended with bargaining of the contracting parties stipulates to do this or that formation, pay, or reciprocal benefit. This is the principle that des" (I do that you may do). Often such agreements are reserved by one or both of the bargainers. Such failure times termed perfidy. Haps in politics are not logical classifications, i.e., not science, not according to considerations, geographic, ethnical, near or occupational. In any given group may be found some with Japanese, some French with Africans, some Americans with American blacks, some Roosevelts with Vardaman carpenters with farmers. The fact is that individuals move on the principle of individual self-interest. This subject will be continued under the head of "Politics." MEDDLING EDITOR AND HIS INVASION OF MARYLAND. The Republican party in Maryland is treating its Negro membership very shabbily. The Baltimore City administration and Mayor Broening, Republican, have been particularly unjust and ungrateful to an element which is absolutely essential to party success. Mayor Broening has declined to appoint a colored Republican to any place, even the most menial, if a white person wanted it. Naturally and necessarily, this kind of treatment has aroused the stiffest sort of protest from the very ablest and most self-respecting colored people in Baltimore. The colored Republicans of Baltimore would be less than men, and unworthy to be enrolled as electors, if they did not resent the treatment they have received at the hands of the mayor of Baltimore. They ought to, as they are doing, take counsel among themselves as to how they will meet and deal with a situation containing features indicating that the local Republican officeholders intend to exclude worthy and deserving colored men from office for no other reason than that of color. The Negro press of Baltimore is handling the situation with courage and ability. The race leadership of Baltimore, made up of such men as McGuinn, Fitzgerald, Lyon, Gaines, Stepteau and Murphy, is as able and well equipped as the race leadership anywhere in the country, and their capacity for dealing with this situation cannot be questioned; and they and others have the matter in hand. And yet in spite of all these facts, it is published abroad in this and other communities that Henry Lincoln Johnson sent into Maryland the editor of a certain paper published in this city, and who spends much of his energy boosting his circulation, to deal with that situation. If it be true, and the report bears all the earmarks of truth, that Henry Lincoln Johnson is responsible for sending to Baltimore the editor of the local paper of boosted circulation, the Negro press and leadership of Baltimore should protest against it. This boosting editor went to Baltimore, not to sympathize and counsel with and assist the justly indignant colored people on account of the wrongs they suffer at the hands of a local Republican administration, but to bring to naught their efforts to right the wrong and to get fair treatment as members of the Republican party. There was absolutely no rhyme or reason for outsiders to interfere with this purely local situation. The national ticket is in no danger from the discontent with the local party situation, and is not likely to be in any danger. We have the word of the Baltimore press and leadership for this, and we know it is true. It is inconceivable that the Baltimore people will not resent the meddlesome mission of the boosting editor. POLITICS. Politics in its broadest sense is the science and art of government. In its common acceptation it is social strategy. This is on the theory that all social units are reciprocally at war. The social unit is in some cases large, comprising a whole nation or group of nations. In other cases it consists of the individual person only. Between these extremes the units vary in size. The relations are all complex. The aim of social strategy is to gain for the contestant the fruits he desires. Each contestant always aims to get what is rightfully his. Some often contest for more. In politics the sword and pistol are laid aside, and the weapon employed is strategy. Strategy involves sagacity, cunning, flim-flam, persuasion and threatening. In politics individuals or groups, too weak to stand alone, join other individuals or groups on the principle that "in union there is strength." Such coalitions are usually attended with bargaining. Each of the contracting parties stipulates to do this or that for a consideration, pay, or reciprocal benefit. This is the principle of "Do ut des" (I do that you may do). Often such agreements are not observed by one or both of the bargainers. Such failure is sometimes termed perfidy. Groups in politics are not logical classifications, i. e., not scientific—not according to considerations, geographic, ethnical, nearblood or occupational. In any given group may be found some English with Japanese, some French with Africans, some American whites with American blacks, some Roosevelts with Vardamans, some carpenters with farmers. The fact is that individuals or groups move on the principle of individual self-interest. This subject will be continued under the head of "Political Grouping." HOBSON'S CHOICE. are two old political parties, grown more and more corrupt with ease, have put forth platforms. Except for the references to League of Nations, they could swap platforms without inconvenience. All the other is empty platitude. The big money interest have got control of both the big parties, and those interests have a snap which side elects. I really, the only issue is the League of Nations. Lorson. What if there had been no war and no league proposed, have no other social or economic questions? Dollars to doughnuts, there will be no big money spent to affect November election. The money was spent at and prior to the inventions. People do not buy what they already have; no longer a car after they have caught it. Negro "campaign man The two old political parties, grown more and more corrupt with practice, have put forth platforms. Except for the references to the League of Nations, they could swap platforms without inconvenience. All the other is empty platitude. The big money interests have got control of both the big parties, and those interests do not care a snap which side elects. So, really, the only issue is the League of Nations. Lors a mercy! What if there had been no war and no league proposed? Have we no other social or economic questions? Dollars to doughnuts, there will be no big money spent to affect the November election. The money was spent at and prior to the two conventions. People do not buy what they already have; nor run after a car after they have caught it. Negro "campaign man- agers" will probably get poor pickings. Then, what side shall one select? A good old rule is, "When you don't know what to do—do nothing." This also means stick to the old practice—the old ship. This year it is largely a question of taste and respectable company. If some folks cannot stomach one of the parties, then it is a case of "Hobson's choice." THE POLITICAL ISSUE Conversation heard, near The Bee sanctum: Cato: I hear you've got a job as stumper for Marding. Cicero: Yes. Cato: What's your dope? Cicero (in disgust): Got none. Will Hays won't let us shake the old rag (bloody shirt). Nothing left but League of Nations stuff. This conversation reminds us of the old story of the two bandits and the Lord's Prayer. The two bandits were in jail and a lynching party was battering at the door. Their names were Bill and Joe. Here is the conversation: Bill: I don't know nothin' but the Lord's Prayer, and that ain't worth a damn here. MPSICAL NOTES. Reports from across the ocean indicate that our colored musicians are having some reverses. Labor troubles in Europe are to bblame. It is expected that many will shortly return to the United States. *** The rehearsals of the Odd Fellows' Band Sunday afternoons at Odd Fellows' Hall are proving quite an attraction to the many friends of the players. There is no question but what this splendid body of musicians will make a creditable showing in New York City at the B.M. C. September next. Associate Conductor W. Calvin Chase, Jr., is rounding out his corner section. *** Andrew Thomas' Howard Theatre Orchestra is a top-notch organization. No better theatre orchestra is now playing in Washington. They are programming some splendid selections at the Howard. * * * Word reaches The Bee from Detroit, Mich., that our phenomenal pianist and orchestra directress, Miss Gertrude Wells, has officially signed a contract to go to Detroit for a permanent engagement at the swellest cabaret in Detroit, beginning September 15. Washington will sustain a heavy loss in the ranks of its musicians. "Doc" Perry has resigned from the Capital City Cleff Club and is now piloting his own orchestra. *** Washington citizens are to be favored with a concert by the Odd Fellows' band before their trip to New York. Bandmaster Hoffman is now arranging the details. He has a major league combination of players. N. A. A. C. P. ESTABLISHES A LOCAL OFFICE. Mr. C. W. Banton has been appointed by the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People to the newly created position of executive secretary and has opened a temporary office on the second floor of the Twelfth street branch of the Y. M. C. A., where the business of the branch will be conducted until permanent quarters can be secured. This is quite an advanced step in the local affairs of the branch and is the result of the remarkable growth in membership and appreciation by the public of the work of the local branch and the National Association, which maintains offices in New York City. Mr. Banton is a native of Pennsylvania and before resigning to take up this new work was a clerk in the Office of Indian Affairs. He believes in the great possibilities of his people and the final attainment of their constitutional rights. In 1918 the national office in its Moorfield Storey drive for new members rejested the local branch to increase its membership from 628 to 2,504. Mr. Banton was made chairman of the local campaign. He immediately stated that the quota was too small, and to the surprise of the local officials set the quota at 5,000. As usual, some said that it could not be done, but at the close, of the campaign the membership had risen to the remarkable number of 6,752. He says now the membership should be 10,000 or more and will bend his efforts toward that end. Plans have been made to make the branch a real and tangible service to the colored people of the District of Columbia. All matters pertaining to the restriction of our constitutional rights will be strenuously fought. The branch hopes for the support of all citizens who believe in the constitutional rights of the black man and earnestly seeks the cooperation of all who have as their object the perpetuation of true American ideals.

By Daniel W. Chase. Trouble in the Amen Corner, Deacons of the Mt. Nebo Baptist Church (colored) asked the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia to restrain the Rev. Thomas Hall, pastor of the church, from preaching on Sunday. It is stated that he has exercised unwarranted power and authority in the pulpit and paid no attention to an order not to preach, it is alleged, while the pulpit has been declared vacant. Justice Hitz issued a rule requiring the pastor and another deacon by the name of John Stewart to show, cause why the preaching should not be stopped. In the Annals of Crime. William Henry Campbell, a young colored man, twenty-two years old, held on several charges' of housebreaking and robbery, is alleged to have confessed to having beaten Mrs. Gertrude Harrison Mann to death. Other crimes are being fastened to the record of the young man, and police and detectives have been questioning the young man with a view of fixing upon him the responsibility for other crimes, especially certain alleged crimes for which Louis Randall, another Washington colored man, is serving a forty-five-year sentence in the Federal prison at Atlanta, Ga., and Forrest Eaglen, another young colored man, is serving a twenty-year sentence in Baltimore. Numbers of cases of theft have been reported to the police, and a young lad, fourteen years old, is charged with housebreaking. Several arrests charging violation of the prohibition law, one involving a prominent young physician, have been made. Good News for Colored Workers. Rev. Simon P. W. Drew has been successful in his efforts to have all the colored employees in the various executive departments granted a half holiday September 2, in order that they may participate in the celebration of the fifty-seventh anniversary of the emancipation of slaves. Appropriate exercises will be held at River View, a resort on the Potomac. What think you of this? A Negro newspaper in every Negro household! It can be brought to pass. When? Echo answers, "Now!" In the Realm of Play and Sports. The Masonic fraternity held an outdoor pageant and field day at the American League Baseball Park. There was a record-breaking crowd to witness the events, which were cut short by rain. The Young Women's Christian Association held a block party and carnival, which was a decided success. There were many exciting baseball games by colored teams from out of town, the Cuban All-Stars defeating the Lincoln Giants. Mr. and Mrs. J. K. Holly, whose marriage took place at Remington, Va., on June 30, entertained the entire working force of Section 30, Bureau of the Census. An enjoyable evening was spent, the young bride proving beyond all doubt that she is a most charming hostess. Among those present to extend felicitations were Mr. and Mrs. William M. Jumper, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Delaney, Mrs. Daisy M. V. Stevens, Miss Hattie Coles Brown, Mrs. Mary J. Reed, Miss Emma J. Smith, Mrs. Florence E. Brown, Mrs. Fannie Burrell, Misses Priscilla and Nelsena Buchanan, Mrs. Sylvia A. Van Loo, Mrs. Olivia B. Joyner, Miss Gladys Lewis Willis, Miss Ethel L. Cuff, Mr.. Ernest C. Johnson, Mr. Taylor Nalle, Mr. Thornton Jackson, Mr. Smith Cassell and Mr. Daniel W. Chase. --- Social Activities. The Lyric Glee Club, under the leadership of Mr. A. D. Gilmore, rendered an interesting program at the Whitelaw Hotel, when the following numbers were given with pleasing effect: "Good-bye, Summer" (Tosti), "Swing Along" (Cook), "Miss Coby's Boarding House," "Hail to the Dawn." Forest Carroll gave as a tenor solo "Dear Old Pal of Mine," while Mr. E. R. James gave as a dramatic reading "The Devil's Workshop." "The Lost Chord" (Sullivan) closed the program. Breezy News of the Census Bureau. "Was there ever such a night as this?" was the query each member of Section 30 asked as he or she left the well-appointed home of Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin Brown. The occasion was a musical "fest" given by Mrs. Brown in compliment to the members of Section 30. Mrs. Brown has a contralto voice of wide range and wonderful sweetness, and was heard with much appreciation in "The Heart of the Red, Red Rose," "Dear Old Pal of Mine," "Just A-Wearying for You," Burleigh's "Mother of Mine" and other works. The impromptu singing of the guests, led by Mrs. Marie M. Jumper, was a feature. Perhaps their singing of "Love Nest," the character song from the play by the same name, may be well termed "a riot." After the recital, King Fun reigned supreme. Among those in attendance were: Mrs. Florence E. Weaver, Miss Clemcille Brown, Mr. and Mrs. William M. Jumper, Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Delaney, Mr. and Mrs. J. K. Holly, Miss Ethel L. Cuff, Miss Hattie Coles Brown, Mrs. Julia Collier Saunders, Miss Emma J. Smith, Mrs. Mary J. Reed, the Misses Buchanan, Mrs. Olivia B. Joyner, Miss Gladys Lewis Willis, Master Weaver, Mr. Ernest C. Johnson, Mr. Delaney and Mr. Daniel W. Chase. Miss Mary E.

A. is increasing at a rapid rate. and Miss Elizabeth C. Carter, who stands at the head of the work, stated that already they are handling large numbers of cases of young women and girls, seeing that these young people are properly placed. Vesper services are held each Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock; and are growing in popularity. There are alleged to be about fifteen cases or charges of housebreaking, purse-snatching and robbery against William Henry Campbell, the young colored man who is supposed to have confessed to the slaying of Mrs. Gertrude Harrison Mann in the woods near Cleveland Park on March 12 last. Of course, it is not at all likely that the young man will be brought to trial on all these charges. His case is pathetic, in that he does not appear to know the enormity of the charges against him, and at his hearing during the week it is said that he only showed interest when his attorney advised him how to plead. Campbell was held for the action of the grand jury. The six weeks' intensive course of the local public schools was brought to a close with exercises at several of the buildings. It is said that almost all of the pupils enrolled were successful in making the desired average. The pupils of the Birney Summer School presented the play "The Crowning of Peace." Special emphasis was also laid on physical training during the six weeks' summer course. Quite an exodus of Washingtonians to the various conventions marked the week end. Perhaps the largest number went to Philadelphia to be in attendance upon the National Negro Business League. Prominent among the number were Judge Robert H. Terrell, of the Municipal Court; Dr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary-treasurer of Howard University; Miss Jeannette Carter, prominent in local fraternal and business circles; Mr. Ferdinand D. Lee and Mr. John W. Lewis, of the Industrial Savings Bank. Among the local ministers attending the A. M. E. --- Council in Richmond were Rev. Dr. W. D. Battle, Rev. Dr. E. W. D. Jones, Rev. Dr. H. J. C. Callis, and Rev. Dr. W. O. Carrington. Editor of The Bee: You have done an excellent thing in showing up and denouncing the movement reflected in the Houston Crisis article to seize the colored colleges. I fear your work is only just begun. Hungry rats are not easily deterred. They are expert in cunning and sometimes make a nasty fight. So far as I have been able to ascertain, The Bee is the only colored journal that has made any serious attempt to sound the alarm and stem the tide of the "movement" in question. The colleges themselves are apparently taking no defensive steps in this connection, either individually or collectively. It is a curious fact that some of these colleges are carrying expensive advertisements either in the very publications that are printing this hostile propaganda or in those that are consistently silent as for offering any defensevention here in Chicago. At least Looks like "fattening frogs for snakes." These hungry rats are likely to attempt similar sorties under cover or even come out in the open. Then you, in case you continue the defense unaided, will have a tedious and expensive job. However, I hope that you will have succor in this matter from the threatened interests involved. - Constant-Reader. POINTERS.

Mrs. Rufus Delany has gone to Atlantic City to visit her son. GARFIELD NEWS. The Allen A. M. E. Sunday School had a very good attendance last Sunday morning. After the lesson was discussed the school was favored with a short address by Mr. Sampson, of Hillsdale, D. C. Many of the Sunday School teachers and scholars are visiting relatives and friends in Maryland and elsewhere. At 11 o'clock the congregation was favored with a very able sermon by Rev. George H. West. His remarks were filled with the Holy Spirit and felt by the many that were out to hear him. Rev. J. A. Scott preached a wonderful sermon at 4 p. m. to a very large audience, some of whom had been on the camp ground all day. After the preaching the visitors and friends had a grand prayer meeting. The night services were conducted by Rev. A. Barton. Sunday, August 22, the camp meeting goers will be favored with the Baltimore (Md.) singing band which has promised to spend the day on the old camp ground. There will be plenty of good preaching and good singing. Mrs. Ada Coleman spent a few days with her son, Mr. C. Stacy Howard, of Chester, Pa., who was hurt at his place of employment. His early recovery is looked for by his many friends. * * * Don't forget to visit the camp meeting. AT HIS OLD HOME. Had Not Seen The Folks For Ten Years. Mr. Alexander Roby, who has been a resident of the North for a number of years, whose home was formerly in Naruna, Va., where his mother, brothers and sisters now live, whom he had not seen for ten or fifteen years, paid them a visit. There was a family reunion, and Deacon Roby, who is a head deacon in the Antioch Baptist Church, of which Rev. Peter Ailer is pastor, gave a talk in the family church at Naruma, to the delight and gratification of all who heard him. He went from there to Orange, Va., and then returned to this city. AT NARUNA, VA. Mrs. Rosa Ailer, who made such a strong impression on the people of Naruma, Va., at Evergreen Baptist Church, was invited to repeat her address to the children. Mrs. Ailer is an interesting church worker and a conscientious Christian. **** Misses Sophia and Minnie Robinson, of Fredericksburg, Va., neices of Rev. Peter Ailer, are in the city, as his guests.
