The Washington Bee COBB VS. MEDDLERS ATTORNEY JAMES A. COBB AND DR. EMMETT J. SCOTT KNOCKED OUT LUKE JOHNSON AND MARYLAND MEDDLERS. VOL. XLI. NO. 14 COE ATTORNEY JAMES EMMETT J. SCOT LUKE JOHNSON MEDDLERS. JAMES A. COBB WINS. Emmett J. Scott and Attorney James A. Cobb Knock Out Henry Lincoln Johnson and His Henchman, J. Fin- ley Wilson. When Emmett J. Scott and James A. Cobb, of this city, arrived in New York City last week and went before the National Committee, with Editor Ernest Lyons, of Baltimore, Md., Henry L. Johnson and his man Friday, J. Finley Wilson, were knocked out in the first round. Dr. Lyons told the committee that it was an insult to the colored representative Republicans in Maryland for Henry Lincoln Johnson to have sent a meddling Washington committee, headed by J. Finley Wilson, Charles S. Williams and one other, to settle the difference between white and colored Republicans in Maryland. Dr. Lyons informed the committee that those colored Republicans who are opposed to discrimination by those in the party are fully able to take care of themselves. The committee was also informed that Henry Lincoln Johnson and J. Finley Wilson did not represent the colored Republicans in Washington. D. C., but James A. Cobb, who was elected and admitted as a delegate to the last National Republican Convention, should be placed on the advisory committee. Mr. Cobb was thereupon appointed to represent the Republican party in the District of Columbia. MRS. DUNBAR. Mother of the Late Paul Lawrence Dunbar—A Philanthropic Suggestion_by a Real Philanthropist. When Prof. A. E. Malone and wife called on the mother of the late Paul Lawrence Dunbar, in Detroit, Mich., a week or so ago, they found this old woman all alone in a little house, with no one to aid her, or to advise her. Mr. and Mrs. Malone asked Mrs. Dunbar if she had any of the books of her late son. She replied, "No." They found her in need and at once these two large-hearted philanthropists gave to the old lady a handsome contribution. It occurred to Prof. Malone that a Dunbar aid organization should be formed from the many Dunbar Associations in this country, to look after the wants of the mother of the greatest poet of modern times. It would not be a bad idea for the friends and admirers of the late Paul Lawrence Dunbar to get together and organize and give a pension to his mother. The Bee would suggest an immediate organizaztion, and no better persons could be selected for heads of such an organization than Prof. Malone and Editor Murphy of the Baltimore Afro-American. Baltimore would be a good place to call this meeting. Who will second the motion? IN THE POLITICAL WORLD. In his speech on world peace plans, which speech has been accepted in all quarters as a masterpiece of American forethought, Senator Harding has said that if he be elected President of this just and honorable Republic he "will not empower an Assistant Secretary of the Navy to draft a constitution for helpless neighbors in the West Indies, and jam it down their throats at the point of bayonets borne by United States marines." This expression of humane interest and sympathy for weaker nations will do much to write Senator Harding's name in the hearts of men and women everywhere. In this respect the first nation to be thought of is Haiti, and it is significant to note that Mr. Hard- ing will aim to let the light of hope shine on the inhabitants of that little republic and give them a chance to live with uplifted heads, lightened hearts and "emancipated spirits." Negro Women and the Right of Suffrage. The slogan to be adopted by colored women should be "Every Woman at the Polls for Harding and Coolidge." Throughout all sections educational campaigns should be inaugurated to teach the newly enfranchised voters. One thing is true, and that is that the American colored women will vote for principles rather than for men, and in view of that one need have no fear that she will not vote wisely. Women are asking all kinds of questions about suffrage. The National Association of Colored Women's Clubs has already pledged its support to the Republican nominees, and it is needless to say that all other kindred organizations will follow. Women will be able to see what a tremendous force they are in the affairs of the world. Jay E. Huse, of the Philadelphia Public Ledger, in speaking of the two presidential nominees, has this to say: "We do not pretend to forecast the result of the campaign, but we think we detect the present slant. Calm and unperturbed, Mr. Harding appears to contemplate the future without heat. Governor Cox is rushing madly about, dropping a little strychnine here and a bit of Paris green there." MR. A. G. WOOD. He Traveled South to Danville and Wound Up In Lynchburg. Mr. A. G. Wood, the well-known and progressive proprietor of the Detroit Cafe, has just returned to the city from his Southern tour. He left the city several weeks ago and went as far as Danville, Va., where he met a number of his old associates and friends. He visited Scottsburg, South Brook, Lynchburg, Richmond and many other points, and it was on his return that he stopped over in Lynchburg, where he had a jubilee. No one is better known in Lynchburg, his old home, than Mr. Wood. On his return home on Monday he found the Detroit Cafe still blooming. THE LIBERTY DEPARTMENT STORE. Some time ago The Bee spoke of the Liberty Department Store Company, an organization of reliable and progressive citizens. This is one of the business enterprises that has been needed in this city for a number of years. Elsewhere in The Bee will be seen what this company will do. ARLINGTON NEWS AND NOTES The Lomax A. M.

Prof. Aaron Malone and his most accomplished and entertaining wife, with her private secretary and two other attaches of the Malone staff, were in the city last week, guests at the Whitelaw. These two distinguished visitors held a special meeting of their agents in this city, and many valuable suggestions were given A. them. While at the Whitelaw many visitors called and paid their respects to the two great, progressive builders of the West. After they had luncheon Monday noon, Editor Chase took Prof. and Mrs. Malone and the private secretary, Miss Robinson, who is said to be one of the most accomplished stenographers in the country, around the Speedway, to the Washington Monument and many other public buildings. The Malone party then had a late dinner, after which they boarded the Congressional Limited over the Pennsylvania for the East, where they had special engagements. JUST RETURNED. Mrs. M.

FLIES AND FLEAS. We have likened certain editors of petty sheets calling themselves newspapers to flies and fleas. Flies and fleas spend about one-half of their time in escaping or atoning for their sins. We read a case in point: A fly and a flea in a flue were imprisoned; so what could they do? Said the flea, "Let us fly." Said the fly, "Let us flee." So they flew through a flaw in the REV. PETER AILER. Thanks to Those Who Remembered Him. I take this opportunity to extend to the members of my congregation of the Antioch Baptist Church my gratitude and profound thanks for their kindness during my illness. While I have not thoroughly recovered, I am steadily improving. I can not longer withhold the feeling within my heart to give public expression of thanks for their kindness. God is all-merciful, and he who believeth in Him need have no fear of future punishment. Again expressing my gratitude, believe me to be, in God, I trust, Peter Ailer, Pastor of Antioch Baptist Church. OUR SCHOOLS. The Muddle Not Settled—Parents' League Determined.

D. Botts preached his trial sermon two weeks ago last Sunday evening. Rev. Botts was very eloquent and interesting. He is a very pleasing talker. "WEAKNESSES OF THE NERGO COLLEGES." Mr. Edmondson Concludes His Refutation. Editor W. Calvin Chase; Permit me to testify to the many warm words of praise for you from high sources for your interest, through the columns of The Bee, to undo for the colored people the mischief done by the Houston article in the July Crisis, entitled "Weaknesses of the Negro Colleges." Without your aid the Houston doctrine would have stood publicly unchallenged. All thinking readers of The Bee will understand that your main purpose in refuting Mr. Houston is to put the colored people in the proper light before those generous Northern white people who have been the mainstay of Negro higher education. By your permission I am reproducing a part of my letter, printed in your issue of July 31 that was lost and not printed. I had set out to analyze Mr. Houston's three main topics, which I designated A, B, C. My analysis of the first only was printed. Following is the substance of what I said on topics B and C: B. "The second glaring weakness of the Negro college * * * is the mistake of calling a white man to the presidency," Mr. H. tells us. On this he complains thus: (a) Many Negroes feel that "their college" is better administered by a white president; (b) feel that a white man brings prestige and money to a Negro college; (c) feel that a colored president could not command the cooperation and respect of his colored professors. Does not state about how many feel this way. He contests this view and policy by asserting (d) that the virtues and advantages of white presidents are overrated; (e) that the prestige or income of any Negro college is not appreciably augmented by having a white president (he offers no proof of the assertion); (f) that it is now impossible to obtain a first-rate white man for the presidency of a Negro college because of law salary inducement and social ostracism, and (p) that a white president is unwilling to mingle "too freely" with his sable charges—perhaps he would have us president and professors at Harvard. Professor H. dwells at great length on this topic about white presidents and professors in Negro colleges. It seems to be his particular bête noir. Of course, he urges the superiority of colored men for such positions, he having recently been such a professor at Howard. As an act of charity to the professor, I pass over in silence much that he says in this connection. It is especially discreditable to him. But in order that my series of letters on a stupid subject may not be wholly dull, I quote one What a sad outlook for the Negro scholar! After he spends years in study, ripens with experience, and aspires to the coveted professorship, the very best he can hope for in the field of education is a position under a conspicuously incompetent white president. Small wonder that the best Negro minds are going into other professions." In my letter which you printed August 14, I hailed with pleasure this threat of the best Negro minds to go into other professions—farm, afctory, store, counting house. I note with approval that Dean Moore; recently of Howard; is not only pointing the way in that direction, but leading the way. I quote another curious assertion of Professor H. under this head: "Atlanta's prestige has always rested upon Dr. Du Bois; Fisk's, upon Dr. Haynes; Howard's, upon Dean Miller. Match these names with those of white professors in the same institutions." In the first place, the assertion is absurd. In the second place, it was the duty of this expert to "match these names" himself, and not call upon the non-expert readers of The Crisis to do it. This is a familiar trick of the crafty controversialist. He asks a question which he knows few can promptly answer. How many persons in miscellaneous walks of life knows the names of eyen a half dozen college professors anywhere, or the qualifications of any six, or the teaching qualifications of the three gentlemen mentioned? Very few. Then, how could the average reader of The Crisis "match these names"? Here is another "remarkable remark in the article under this head: "The sober truth is that there is no white professor, in these days, who could hold the leg of a stool in a reputable white college." I question the professor's knowledge on this point. He makes not the least effort to show us the basis for this slander. It is simply a rank specimen of "imperfect enumeration," as if a man should assert that "no Negro has self-control." I utterly fail to see wherein anything said about this "second glaring weakness" (B) has any bearing on Mr. Houston's main implied proposition, which is, as we have seen, "that the Negroes ought to control their own colleges." C. "The third grave weakness of the Negro college is found in its trustee board," says Professor H. The chief statement in support of this proposition is (a) that the trustee boards of the Negro colleges are self-perpetuating and self-terminating. He implies (b) that this is peculiar to Negro colleges (not true). He goes on to say (c) that these boards neglect the colleges, leaving it all to the president. (not true). He fails to tell us the nature of the charter of any Negro college, which is its organic law, or how he proposes to change the charters. It is obvious, h owever, that (d) he wants charters that will permit the alumni (colored) to elect all the trustees, as the alumni do for Harvard. This is foolish. The alumni of Harvard support Harvard. The alumni of colored colleges donate almost nothing to support their alma maters. Curiously, the August Crisis prints an article on the mismanagement of Wilberforce University, probably the leading colored college entirely controlled by colored people. The article shows that this mismanagement has almost wrecked Wilberforce. It so happens that this is the only colored college founded by Northern people that has been turned over completely to colored control. No comment is required on this object lesson. So much for Professor H.'s main topics (A, B and C). He now proceeds to draw to an end, but not to summarize or state a conclusion, as one would naturally expect. Instead, he turns aside to do two other things, which are these: First, he admits that there is no remedy for weaknesses A and B until a new method is found for selecting trustees (C); and then practically admits that there is no remedy for the last. Second, he frankly admits, in one breath, that there is no hope for the Negro college, but demands in the next breath: "Give the Negro college an efficient administration." It looks like a case of a doctor who professes no hope for his patient, yet demands efficient treatment for him. We shall not worry because this doctor has washed his hands of Negro higher education. We have entire confidence in the physicians now in charge. Respecting the recent lynchings in North Carolina, it seems that that State is trying to outdo Georgia in her damnable and cowardly acts in lynching colored citizens on mere suspicion. And, through it all, the powers that be sit quietly, seemingly unconscious of the fact that their actions but lend aid to these lawless and shameful acts. Shame on America! Shame on her rulers, who tolerate such cowardly acts! Lynchings have become so common in America that one feels that a sheet is missing out of the newspapers if a lynching fails to be spoken of somewhere on its pages. There was a time when these lynchers sought cover at night and veiled their faces when a cowardly murdering sport was to be pulled off; but, seeing that this little American "no harm" sport meets with the approval of the Christian (?) church, they now come boldly in the daytime and give free exhibitions, to the little future rulers of the American part of the universe. You may go on, rich and lawless America, in your disregard of justice to your weaker subjects, but some day, possibly in the near future, it will be more tolerable for Sodom and Gohorrah than for you to escape the wrath of God you so justly deserve! Why lynch a man on mere suspicion? Are you afraid that if given a hearing in the courts he will establish his innocence? It does certainly look that way. Only a few days ago, in North Carolina, a colored man was lynched on mere suspicion; and afterwards it was proved by his white employer that he positively was not the man who committed the crime. And still those hellish murderers, those bullies of the bawdy houses, those burglaries of the tombs, go unpunished, without even being called into question for their cowardly, murderous deeds. In Psalms 14:1 we read, "The fool hath in his heart, there is no God." And if the United States can go on very much further in her disregard of right, in her disregard of the commandment, "Thou shalt not kill," then we will be "almost persuaded" to believe the Quinade is a medicated pomade, scientifically compounded under the direct supervision of a registered pharmacist. It contains ingredients which stimulate the scalp and are calculated to improve and beautify the hair. Quinade is delightfully perfumed, it is perfectly harmless and will not injure the scalp. It is an elegant hair-dressing and will tend to soften harsh hair, making it more pliable and easy to put up in any style its length will permit. To get best results from the use of Quinade the scalp should be thoroughly washed every two weeks with Seeby's Quinasoap, a delightful shampoo. Quinasoap is made with a rich, creamy lather, so desirable in a shampoo. It leaves the hair soft and fluffy and imparts a refreshing feeling to the scalp unequaled in other shampoos. Insist on getting Seeby's' Quinade and Quinasoap, asking for them by the full name. If your dealer can not supply them we will send them to you on receipt of price, which is 35 cents for the Quinade and 25 cents for the Quinasoap. Seeby Drug Co., 10 Greene street, New York City.

In our humble opinion, this country has never suffered more for want of a just ruler than at the present day. And while the present incumbent has our very best wishes, we nevertheless pray that Almighty God may hasten the hour of his departure from that great office. And we make the humble suggestion that the Liberty Bell, which hangs yonder in Independence Hall in Philadelphia, be brought to this city after Harding's election, shall have been announced, as it certainly will be, and erected high in front of the Capitol, and as soon as Harding shall have been sworn in as President of the United States that memorable old bell should ring out, "Redeemed! Redeemed!" and the church bells and whistles throughout the entire country should catch up the sound and echo the voice, "Redeemed! Redeemed!" Redeemed from lynching human souls; redeemed from segregation; redeemed from discrimination; redeemed for a just trial before the courts; redeemed from charging the colored race a first-class fare and giving it a fourth-class accommodation, and redeemed from the yoke of disfranchisement of the loyal colored men and women of this great republic. And when the bell ceases to ring, everybody should rise in front of the Capitol and sing: "All hail the power of Jesus' Name!

ANACOSTIA NEWS Miss Edith Madden, after a pleasant vacation spent at Harpers Ferry W. Va., has returned to her home. The Barry Farm Citizens' Association met on Friday night. The proceedings were somewhat enlivened by a discussion of the new zoning law, participated in by Messrs. Jones, Taylor, Johnson, Singleton, Taliaferro and others. A resolution commending the past services of the retiring captain of the Eleventh Police Precinct, offered by Mr. Harrod, was unanimously adopted. Captain Anderson, having served this section for more than forty-five years, was a great favorite among the people of both races. A communication from Mr. J. C. Wright requesting the association to indorse the petition for a lower fare on the city railways for public school pupils was also favorably reported and adopted.

A "FALL-DOWN" FOR FINLEY. The editor of the local organ of magnified circulation, J. Finley Wilson, got a "fall-down," politically speaking, a few days ago, which came near knocking the political breath out of him. It was in connection with the appointment of an advisory committee of colored men to look after the colored voters in the different States and the District of Columbia by the Republican Cam- [Image of a man in a suit with a tie]. paign Executive Committee. The exaggerating circulation claimer, J. Finley, had been selected by Henry Lincoln Johnson as the representative of the District of Columbia on the advisory committee. In the meantime Henry Lincoln Johnson had been superseded by J. Coleman DuPont, National Committeeman for Delaware, and had been reduced in rank, and the newly assigned functions were given to him and R. R. Church, of Tennessee, each having equal rank and authority. In the meantime also J. Finley, the gigantic circulation claimer, had undertaken to meddle in the Maryland local situation, and had aroused the opposition and wrath of Dr. Ernest Lyon and other leaders of the race in that State, who went to New York and admonished those in charge of Eastern Headquarters that the meddling of J. Finley in Maryland affairs was obnoxious. Taking advantage of the situation thus created, Dr. Emmett Scott and James A. Cobb went from the Business League meeting to New York, and as a result Mr. Cobb has been put on the advisory committee for the District of Columbia. Thus ends another chapter in the career of the gigantic circulation claimer. What role will our Roscius next enact? MUSICAL NOTES. The formal opening of the local concert season is scheduled for Sunday afternoon, September 12, at the Howard Theatre, upon which day has been designated an afternoon with the Washington Odd Fellows by Manager Andrew Thomas. The attraction is the new Odd Fellows' Band of forty pieces in a splendid program, with W. Calvin Chase, Jr., as cornet soloist, besides several vocal soloists. * * * Lewis T.

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.

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 A. 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 se- lection from the members of the Business League. THE SOUTH EXCITED. The Nineteenth Amendment Gives All Women the Right to Vote. They Will Vote. The nineteenth amendment to the Constitution of the United States gives all females over 21 years of age the privilege of voting. The colored women throughout the United States are called upon to vote in the coming Presidential election. They have sense enough not to vote for a party that favors lynching, murder and unjust treatment to colored Americans who have rights that are violated. Thousands of colored women will vote for the men who believe in equity of citizenship. LET ME HELP YOU My work is free to you. Parchment prayers are a free.

Miller, describing himself as "an original Harding man," has distributed a very clever printed folder entitled "Fifty-Fifty," which contains fifty reasons why the Republican party should win and fifty reasons why the Democratic party should lose. These reasons pro and con are stated, or the leading ones, in the form of acrostics. and friend Robert L. Miller, describing him, "holding man," has distributed a very clever pro- ficiency-Fifty," which contains fifty reasons why he should win and fifty reasons why the Democrat. These reasons pro and con are stated, or form of acrostics. And, this folder is clever. In other words, it may be the Republican party. It is ad captandum. That is the purpose of it. The editor of The Bee was in active partisan role like services for the Grand Old Party. A very proper attitude and method when it got to being "I am for me and my crowd," "England, right or wrong." Acrostics is well adapted to this form of persuasive "tic" is appropriate for another reason—it shows facts and reasons. To make a cross-sected knife or a clever pen. Acrostics are based on the ten letters in the "publican" and "Democratic." After the loot, we note the following: of citizenship; equal rights, legal and equity; disfranchisement, jim-crow cars, segregation rights. The letter "C" in "Republican," we note the following: enforced; law and order; self-determining; the consent of the governed theory for a constitution of slavery and peonage; freedom; liberty; the letter "I" in "Democratic," we note the first; slavery; Ku-Kluxism; lynching; jim-crow; total of human rights; Negro domination nightmare. We observed that these enumerations are entirely nouns, nouns, nothing but nouns. We where-for a verb. A verb, a'verb, my kind verb is a word denoting action, the English noun and future. The verb of some languages shades as to time of action, as "to be about." We presumed that these enumerations of nouns, or recent statements of intention contain, in a succinct or precis document it is not allude to a historical fact (an act done) or act promised). Acrostics has observed that fiction is more entertaining, that it states what ought to be, whereas disappointing—"it doesn't end right." where As stated, this folder is clever. In other words, it makes a good showing for the Republican party. It is ad captandum, persuasive, convincing. That is the purpose of it. When the editor of The Bee was in active partisan politics, he attempted to do like services for the Grand Old Party. This is conceded to be a very proper attitude and method when in a political fight, the motto being "I am for me and my crowd." or, as the Briton says, "England, right or wrong." The acrostic is well adapted to this form of persuasion; and the name "acrostic" is appropriate for another reason—it shows us cross-sections of facts and reasons. To make a cross-section requires only a sharp knife or a clever pen. The two acrostics are based on the ten letters in each of the words "Republican" and "Democratic." After the letter "E" in "Republican," we note the following: Equality of citizenship; equal rights, legal and equitable; opposition to lynching, disfranchisement, jim-crow cars, segregation and denial of human rights. After the letter "C" in "Republican," we note the following: Constitution enforced; law and order; self-determination, a reiteration of the consent of the governed theory for all races and peoples; abolition of slavery and peonage; freedom; liberty; justice. Under the letter "I" in "Democratic," we note the following: Injustice; slavery; Ku-Kluxism; lynching; jim-crow cars; segregation; denial of human rights; Negro domination nightmare and yellow peril-scare. It will be observed that these enumerations are enumerations of nouns—merely nouns, nouns, nothing but nouns. We look almost in vain anywhere for a verb. A verb, a verb, my kingdom for a verb! A verb is a word denoting action, the English tenses being present, past and future. The verb of some languages shows still more precise shades as to time of action, as "to be about to be," or do or act. It is to be presumed that these enumerations of nouns relate to historical records, or recent statements of intention containing verbs. And, of course, in a succinct or precis document it is not necessary more than to allude to a historical fact (an act done) or an undertaking (an act promised). Some critic has observed that fiction is more entertaining than history in this, that it states what ought to be, whereas history is most often disappointing—"it doesn't end right," whereas a novel does. POLITICAL PARSONRY. nt reader sends us the following maxim: among our observations on Political Philosophy for the opinion: "Political parsonry is almost been caught napping. It sounded when we cut it out. It is unsound. not the time or space to go deeply into the ony. For the Christian era it is sufficient few historic instances of great constructivarianola; Socinus, probably the father of A constant reader sends us the following maxim-and asks us to slip it in among our observations on Political Philosophy, we taking credit for the opinion: "Political parsonry is particularly pestiferous." We had almost been caught napping. It sounded witty. After slipping it in we cut it out. It is unsound. We have not the time or space to go deeply into the history of political parsimony. For the Christian era it is sufficient simply to point to a few historic instances of great constructive political preachers—Savoranola; Socinus, probably the father of freedom of thought and speech as we enjoy it today; Erasmus, a sly monk who, though not in politics, gave ammunition to Luther, who was a parson in politics; Luther, responsible for excellent reforms in civic as well as church matters; Roger Williams, the first man in the New World to found a State free of religious bigotry; Henry Ward Beecher, the great political preacher, who wielded effective blows against human slavery; and we might mention those preachers in very recent times who helped to dethrone King Rum in this country. We will not argue with Constant Reader about that great army of preachers in all times and all countries who have helped to uphold the established order of social sin, class distinction, slavery, rum, etc.—Vicars of Bray, all of them. We know about them. ```markdown ``` It is an incontrovertible fact that political parsons have been a great power for political good. Let us not forget Parson Brownlow, of Tennessee. It is a fact that preachers enjoy the very best opportunity to mold public opinion—especially colored preachers. To say that political parsons are pestiferous is, moreover, meaningless. It is not a fault to be pestiferous. A man who fights rats or sin is pestiferous. If there is any fault in being pestiferous, the fault is not a fault per se, but it lies in fighting on the wrong side—on the side of evil or folly—or in not fighting at all. By some the little bee is regarded as pestiferous, but the bee stings only the drones or meddlers or intruders—most of them fools. The Washington Bee is advocating a new freedom for the colored man through the agency of the ballot—politics. Here is a fine opportunity for political parsnory. HELL IN HAITI.

CORNELIUS H. FONVILLE. One of the most sensible acts that has ever been performed by a colored American in Maryland, which was not approved by the people of Prince George's County, was the proposed charter to incorporate Fairmount Heights, Prince George's County, Md., by Cornelius H. Fonville, formerly of the North Carolina bar. The document was well drawn and fully demonstrated the ability of the author. If the charter had been approved by the people of Fairmount Heights, today it would be a political factor in the State of Maryland, and the people of Fairmount Heights would be governing themselves. There would have been a mayor and council and other officers. It is to be regretted that Attorney Fonville is not in a State where his ability would be appreciated and recognized.

Recently, in some remarks on petty slanderous weekly newspapers and editors, we likened them to flies, and we adverted to some of the obnoxious traits and habits of the fly, the most familiar variety of which is the common house fly, mustica domestica, the particular pest of human habitations. Such newspapers and editors also bear some resemblance to the flea. The common American variety of flea is the cat or dog flea, ctenocephalus canis. The human flea is known to scientists as pulex irritans, or irritating flea. Webster defines the flea: A blood-sucking insect having a hard laterally compressed body and extraordinary powers of leaping. Fleas mostly infect warm-blooded animals.

State sovereignty in the United Recently we pointed out the great similarity of the Republican and Democratic platforms, stating that the only apparent main issue seems to be the League of Nations. We hinted that this is an insufficient issue; because we have so many unsettled domestic difficulties and problems. Now comes James Hamilton Lewis in a speech at St. Louis on the 27th ultimo in which he says that the forthcoming presidential election will be determined "upon issues that have no relation to the United States and by voters who have no thought of the welfare of the American people." This confirms our views precisely. The platforms were constructed by the same carpenters, a small group of master builders, who first wrought at Chicago and then at San Francisco. That group did not want the real American issues paraded or discussed. So far, they have got what they wanted. Those issues are not being discussed. It is not too late for the voters to inject real American issues into the campaign. The Bee has been trying to do this. It is not too late to present a set of questionnaires to each of the presidential candidates and to every congressional candidate, and let him answer how he stands on each question and what he proposes to do about it. Here are a few questions worth while: 1. To make the life and property of every inhabitant safe in spite of democracy. 2. To introduce a republican form of government in all the States. 3. To introduce adult suffrage in all the States, Territories and the District of Columbia, including the Southern States. 4. Federal protection of life and property to be mandatory in certain semi-barbarous States. 5. Reduction of the tariff downward. 6. Government ownership of interstate utilities and waterpower. 7.

There is no question about Republican sentiment all over the country. It seems to be consensus of opinion that the Republican party must take hold of the reins of government at Washington, if the country is to be restored to the people. The enthusiasm is gratifying, to say the least. But enthusiasm is only one element entering into this great campaign. There are other factors not to be ignored. Perhaps the greatest responsibility immediately before us is the question of registration. We can not vote until we are qualified for proper registration. This is the job now, and it must be performed now, if we are to have the vote we expect to see cast in November. And the work of registration can be made comparatively easy, if we --- no conception of the deviltry that and by their pretended authority still being carried on, through the lines and Southern civilians.

We do not have to wait for anyone to come to us and ask us to register. The registration dates are fixed, and the places where we may register are available. Every Republican interested in the success of the party will make it one of his special duties to register on the first day. If we do not register on the first registration day, there is the possibility that we may be ill or absent from home on the next registration day. The safe way, and the truly Republican way, is to register on the first day. It requires but one time to do this all-important thing. There should be no postponements. Then, too, there are the women. They are going to vote this year, if the opposition in Tennessee does not prevent them. Pending the final decision of the courts on the Tennessee legislation, the safe course is to get the women ready for the ballot. When the decision comes down, there will be little time for instructions, school work and the like. The time to instruct the women is now. They have had little or no experience in political organizations as such. They must learn the machinery of their party; the methods of procedure, and the various subdivisions of State, county and ward. All this requires time. We must begin now. A great deal has been said of the new colored voters who have come North during the Democratic administration at Washington. It is admitted that several hundred thousand have come North. These men and women must be registered. They have never voted, perhaps, because of the rule of the Democrats of the South, but now they can vote. It would be criminal to overlook these men and women and not register them. They are all ready and willing to cast their Notes for the Republican party. It is the duty of the Republican leaders to see that these strangers are made ready for the highest duty of any citizen—that of casting his ballot intelligently. The work of registration is practically all the work there is to be done among the majority of the colored voters. The colored man is Republican, naturally so. He prefers the Republican party. Notwithstanding he has grievances even against the party of Abraham Lincoln, nevertheless the Republican party is his party. Long ago Frederick Douglass, in his day the leader of his race politically, said: "The Republican party is the ship; all else is the sea." These words are as true today as they were when Fred Douglass uttered them. And let it be known that the Republican candidates have gone on record in no uncertain terms. Senator Harding, in his most acceptable address at Marion, said more, and said it emphatically, about the treatment of the colored citizen at the hands of Southern mobs than any other candidate who has gone on record on the question of lynching. Senator Harding said: "I believe the Negro citizens of América should be guaranteed the enjoyment of all their rights, that they have earned the full measure of citizenship bestowed, that their sacrifices in blood on the battle fields of the republic have entitled them to all of the freedom and opportunity, all of the sympathy and aid that the American spirit of fairness and justice demands." Nor is the Senator alone in his stand for fair play for the Negro. Governor Coolidge is on record in burning words which carry conviction. He is opposed to lynching and lawless, and is easily among the leaders of the party who favor the immediate and proper legislation to stop some of the ills from which we suffer. He said: "There is especially due to the colored race a more general recognition of their constitutional rights. Tempted with disloyalty, they remained loyal, serving in the military forces with distinction, obedient to the draft to the extent of hundreds of thousands, investing $1 out of every $5 they possessed in Liberty Bonds, surely they hold the double title of citizenship, by birth and by conquest, to be relieved from all imposition, to be defended from lynching, and to be freely granted equal opportunities." DEANWOOD, D. C. Rev. Broadus Doing Good Work. Architect of His Own Fortune. Zion Baptist Church here and Zion Baptist, Hilltop, Md., are both in a prosperous condition. Rev. T., Thos.Broadus is the energetic pastor of these churches. They are both out of debt, and a neat sum is to their credit in the bank. The Deanwood church has grown from three members to a prosperous congregation in the last eight years, with some splendid parishioners and a very good board of officers. Of course, as in all walks of life, there are grumblers and Judases to come in, contact with. Extensive repairs are now in progress on both church. Rev. Broadus large experience as a business man and a mechanic handles his work very economically for the congregations, all of which is appreciated by the best thinking members. Rev. Broadus blows no horn ahead of him, but moves quietly with a degree of modesty in his deliberations with all men. He has no ill will towards anybody. The younger men in the ministry, look to him as their friend, and the older ones respect him. He is often called upon to preside at some of the largest councils held in Washington, as he never loses his head, but looks upon all as men. His slogan is that all of God's men are equal in their calling, if not in intellect, as that is an individual responsibility. He firmly believes that a preacher should preach the gospel and keep out of politics and anything that will refard the Holy Spirit, and that the work of the Master's Kingdom will keep any man busy, and that the Master has made suitable provision to care for all He sends. He is not a stickler on any question that may arise, but believes in the words of David, "Touch not God's anointed, and the words of Moses, "To Me belongeth vengeance." He does not deal in higher criticisms, believing them to be a lot of philosophical entanglements carried on by a lot of unregenerates to gain notoriety for their much learning. Those who will give credit claim him a sound gospel preacher, with rare church experience. Any church will do well with such a pastor, with adequate experience and a Christian, working wife by his side, socially inclined and congenial. Rev. Broadus is the architect of the Mt. Bethel Old Folks' Home at Mathias Point, King George county, Va., and the superintendent of the work. He went into the woods and picked the timbers to be used in the construction of the Home. He is also a member of the executive board, the building committee and third vice-president of the association; corresponding secretary of the Potomac River Association, a trustee of Mt. Bethel Association, and is associated in business in a quiet way in the District and in Virginia. He believes in the laity and not a preacher doing business. He looks after the interests of his members as far as possible in any way. He is a peacemaker at all times and a consoler of those in trouble. He is a staunch friend of the Washington Bee, on which he was an apprentice thirty-five years ago. He sends The Bee to his friends throughout the country and even forwards his own copy after reading it. Mrs. Eugene Letcher, Fourth street northwest, is conspicuous for her clear-cut English.

He is a politician from the heart, and I have always found him on the square. Phil is a hustler, and the Southern politicians have faith in him. He is right on the job in Chicago, and above everything else he is no fourflusher. Roscoe Conklin Simmons has certainly bluffed the so-called white Republican politicians in the South. He came very near winning out, but his colored brethren knew him and put the soft pedal on his advance step. My good friend Editor Abbot, who makes big men from acorns, has no prejudice whatever. He was just wrong in his effort to put Roscoe ahead of the push. That Georgia Peach who has made the city of Chicago, Ill., his temporary home will not return to the South. If the Republicans should win, and I have no doubt that they will, this Georgia Peach expects to return to Washington, not as a recorder of deeds, however, in which position he was a misfit. *** The new superintendent of schools has stated that he will not make any wholesale changes. What he intends to do, he better do at once, as he will be legislated out of office in the next Congress. The present Board of Education will be a thing of the past. Governor Cox, of Ohio, reminds me of a schoolboy who has been told something by a companion in school, with the admonition not to tell, so he told it anyway, and got mixed up. If the American people are willing to subscribe $15,000,000 for campaign purposes, it is the best evidence in the world that they want a change in the administration. Senator Harding will be elected notwithstanding. *** My good friend, John W. Lewis, started a world campaign to consolidate the business world. I see that a similar movement has been started in the North. The Lewis movement is not on the draft order, and no doubt he will succeed. Now, there is my good friend Jesse H. Foster, who has a heart as big as an elephant's trunk. Over the hill beyond Hillsdale, D. C., Jesse has erected a beautiful house for himself and family. ** Raymond Murray, of the Foraker, an all-around theatrical producer, folta train of children and a very prepossessing female in the Union Station Sunday morning.

My good friends Byers went to Cape May last week and put up at Hotel Dale. Rufus always makes things lively wherever he goes. I was told by those there that he put some ginger into the surroundings. Well, you know. Rufus is quite an entertainer, and when he took a dip in the sea he was struck with a chill, but he was quickly relieved when a belle from Ohio was introduced to him and told him that she had heard so much of him. He was a lively guest at Hotel Dale, and when the proprietor welcomed the Adonis of the City of Plenty. Byers was in his glory. Well. I must say he was one of the most popular guests in the house. He didn't have to tell me of his trip. I received advance information. He arrived in time to relieve the congestion of the three theatres. Morris and Raymond were two relieved men when Rufus returned. Speaking of progressive managers, I must not forget my good friend Charles E. Lane. He is right on the job, and if the new theatre proposition doesn't succeed, it will not be his fault. Brooklyn, N. Y., August 7. The Northeastern Federation of Colored Women's Clubs closed its annual convention in this city last Friday night. Miss Elizabeth Carter closed the sessions with an eloquent plea for race unity. Education for women, the suffrage in its relation to colored women and other questions of economic and social improvement were discussed during the 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.

An Insult to Colored Manhood. A startling fact was revealed when Helen Barnes, a white girl 17 years old, reported to the police that she had been attacked and robbed by a colored man, and when confronted by the police for additional evidence, confessed that she had made the statement of the attack because she had not worked during the week, although her mother was of the opinion that she had been working. The girl was supposed to have brought $16.50 home, and not having the sum, concealed the falsehood to mislead her mother. This brings to mind a similar case where, two arrests had been made in the case of a woman who claimed that a colored man had stolen her watch, which was later found in the home of a friend, where investigation disclosed the fact that she was at the home of the friend at the very time she claimed to have been waylaid. Many Appointed in Census Bureau. Fully two hundred young colored people, mostly women and girls, were appointed as clerks (operatives) in the Bureau of the Census during the week. The basic salary is $960 per annum, plus the $240 bonus. Most of the appointees were assigned to duty punching for the population of the country, which punching is 38,000,000 behind the schedule. Numbers have also been made verifiers. --- --- Agents for Madam Walker's Goods Trans Patronize This Store. GROWER AND GLOSSINE Mer, Soap, Powder. Agent for All High Admade, Face. Powder, Brozal and Ada STREET N. W. While the work is temporary, this who have qualified as first-grade clerks, or for the third-grade examination, although those qualifying for the third grade are usually put on piece work. Piece workers are known to draw handsome salaries, $100 for two weeks' work being the sum received by a new appointee. James N. Miller, a young man well know nin musical circles here, has achieved much success and is being given much praise because of the fact that he has organized and trained a band of musicians known as the Community Civic Centre Band. Recently Mr. Miller and his band appeared in public concerts, giving programs of merit and distinction, at the Howard playground, the Phelps Centre and other public amusement places. Mrs. Betty Martin, a colored woman living in Anacostia, learned how sharper plays the pocketbow game on unsuspecting persons, which lesson cost Mrs. Martin the sum of $50. A pocketbook was picked up in her presence, and it was stated that the pocketbook contained a large sum of money, in which she could share if she chose to invest a little sum of money in advance. She did so, and the individual made his getaway. Bootlegging Is Costly. Numbers of arrests have been made --- of men and women of color violating the prohibition act in transporting and otherwise disposing of liquid spirits. It is regrettable that a large number of arrests have been made of colored men and women who operate for white "bootleggers" who never appear to bail the colored brother out. Among the number arrested this week were a young colored woman of excellent family and Jesse Coleman, who had been at liberty only a short while. Coleman was arrested after a colored man, Thomas Russell, described as an agent, bought whiskey from Coleman with three marked dollars. Coleman was sentenced to jail for four months for selling whisky and fined $500, or two months, for transporting it a block from the bootlegger to the purchaser. Another business enterprise has been incorporated. The Thrift Commercial Company has been organized for the purpose of opening and operating a chain of grocery stores in the city. A large building has been purchased to be used as headquarters. It has been estimated that the colored population in and near the District of Columbia spend $18,230,000 per year, or $50,000 per day, for raw materials from the grocery stores. All of this money is spent mostly with white trade, and it is significant to note that colored men and women are awaking from their sleep to action in business. There are no colored clerks in white stores, but we can at least have colored clerks in colored stores. Notwithstanding the announcement that there is still a shortage of clerks qualified as stenographers and typists throughout the departmental service in this city, numbers of colored eligibles have been on the list for several months without having received a single notice of certification. Steps are being taken to get information of all colored young men and women who are eligible listed, and the various heads of the departments called on to ascertain why colored men and women are not certified for those positions. It has been stated that there are several positions now open, but white eligibles are refusing it accept them because they are given much larger pay elsewhere. It might be that this will necessitate the appointment of colored aspirants. STORY THE WEEK HAS TOLD. By Daniel W. Chase Evidence Fails to Convict Him. On February 7 last a lone bandit knocked Max Chernikoff, a grover, at 48 Fenton street northwest, on the head with a coupling pin and robbed his cash register of $40. In connection with this crime John H. Collins, a young colored man, 41 years old, was arrested. Collins was confronted with Mrs. Chernikoff, who failed to identify him sufficiently to warrant his being held. Collins was freed in Police Court by Judge Aukam after the case had been continued to enable the police to find the coupling pin which is supposed to have been mislaid at police headquarters. He was arrested a few days ago after Chernikoff had told the police that he was sure Collins was the man who had attacked him and then locked him in the icebox. The coupling pin was thought to have Collins' finger prints on it, but it was proved to have been so much handled since the robbery that it was useless as evidence, so far as identifying Collins was concerned, and he was released. Colored Farmers' Conference. Colored Farmers' Conference. The colored farmers of Prince George's county, Md.; held a conference at the courthouse, at which conference prominent persons delivered addresses, among them being Judge Fillmore Beall, Dr. J. A. Evans, Dr. T. B. Symons, of the University of Maryland, and Mrs. M. F. Wiggington. James F. Armstrong is the local county agent. An outing marked the close of the conference. Examinations for Policewomen. The Civil Service Commission held examinations throughout the week for policewomen, to establish a list of eligibles from which fifty vacancies are to be filled. It is announced that the preference in selection will be granted to local women. A number of these applicants will be selected to enter as privates. Both mental and physical examinations are held. It is stated, that the present force of twenty-two policewomen will be substantially augmented. An Activity That Harms Us. Several colored men of this city, actively engaged in the real estate business, are known to do much toward segregating colored people by going to owners of property and telling them that they can get larger returns from their property by letting it to colored tenants. Especially is this true of property on Rhode Island avenue adjoining the magnificent Y. W. C. A.. One owner has said that a certain man, well known here and, making a boast of the huge sums of money he makes, told her to dispose of her property because of the fact that numbers of colored people would be in the neighborhood now that the colored women were erecting a building at the corner, and this owner is quoted as saying: "That is all the more sufficient reason for my remaining here, for surely an organized body of Christian young women cannot be objectionable to anyone." This is a pleasing contrast to what one real estate dealer said to a young woman, whose identity of race could not be determined: "Of course, we are catering exclusively now to colored trade, as we can get better figures for less value, and eventually the properties will come to us." School News. The date, for the opening of the public schools of the District of Columbia has been set for Monday. September 20. The new superintendent, Dr. Frank W. Ballou, has arrived and spends considerable time each day in going over the various problems requiring his attention. Teachers are plentiful this year, and they are of a high standard. Much thought is given as to what Dr. Ballou will do with the case of Prof. Roscoe C. Bruce as agitated by the Parents' League. In Musical Circles. The choirs of the various churehes are enjoying their annual leave, and little is known of the plans of the various choirs for the coming winter. However, the Dunbar Community Centre, under the musical leadership of W. Scott Mayo, has two works under rehearsal, and the Cardoza Centre in Southwest Washington is also planning to render an oratorio. The musical program at the Y. W. C. A. vesper service was a distinct feature. Mrs. Elizabeth Dickerson sang "Hear Us, Father," and Mrs. Ivy sang "Thou Visitest the Earth." Mrs. Susie Taylor sang with telling effect "My. Task." Miss Nelsena Buchanan, formerly of Tuskegee Institute, showed a voice of rare beauty and charm in "Hold Thou My Hand." At this service Mr. Messiah King, a social worker of more than ordinary ability, gave an inspiring and interesting talk on "Self-Sacrifice." Among those dying during the week was Mrs. Ellen C. Johnson, widow of the late Cornelius Johnson, long a resident in Washington. Mrs. Johnson represented a superior type of womanhood and was highly esteemed by all who knew her. She was known because of her many acts of charity, it being a known fact that no one had ever left her door empty-handed. Her death was met with profound regret. A daughter, Miss Florence A. Johnson, very well and favorably known throughout the city, survives her. The funeral of Benjamin Williams, who lost his balance while cleaning windows, falling to the ground and sustaining injuries from which he died, was held at the Galbraith A. M. E. Zion Church.
