--- DANGERS WHAT DEMOCRATIC VICTORY WILL MEAN TO THE BLACK MAN. PERPETUATION OF RACE DISCRIMINATION AND OUTRAGE. VOL. XLI. NO. 16 DAN WHAT DEMOCRAT MEAN TO THE E PETUATION OF NATION AND OU DANGER THAT CONFRONTS US Democratic Victory Means Continuation of Race Discrimination and Segregation — Disfranchisement of Colored Female Vote. It is important to the colored American people that the Republican party should succeed in November. The success of the Democratic party means the perpetuation of race discrimination and segregation. In no other country in the world is race discrimination legalized as it is in the United States. It is a blot on American civilization. The colored man can not afford to throw away his vote on those sideshow candidates for office. It is dangerous to the masses. Is there any hope for the colored man under Democratic rule? The danger that confronts the American colored citizens is before them. It can be seen and read upon every corner. What he is today is what the party of Sumner and Grant made him. Segregation will continue. The uneducated white man in the South is not only a menace to the educated in that section but to the civilized North. The colored American has everything to lose. Notwithstanding the many discriminatory laws that are being enacted in the Southern States, his advancement continues. But the success of the Republican party will insure his onward march to victory. "Harding and Coolidge" is the watchword of the hour. Let every colored woman in the country register. COLORED RACE TO STAY IN U. S., SAYS ANDERSON When English Return to England, Irish to Ireland, Negroes Will Seek Africa. (From New York World, Sept. 14.) "All New York knows him and all New York loves him. He is as clean as a hound's tooth!" That was how Collector of Internal Revenue Charles H. Anderson introduced Governor Smith to the 1,500 delegates of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows (colored) assembled in the 71st Regiment Armory in celebration of the seventy-seventh anniversary of their organization. This description was received with hearty applause. Governor Smith replied that it was a privilege to be permitted to address the assembled Odd Fellows, and pointed out that the watchword of every benevolent order is unity, fraternity and brotherly love. In the course of his address the Governor referred to Abraham Lincoln's immortal Gettysburg address. This brought forth great applause. Continuing, the Governor said: "Probably at no time in our history is there greater need for united action than at present." W. David Brown, State Grand The Washington Dc Congress.Library Master and National Treasurer of Odd Fellows, presided. Police Commissioner Enright represented Mayor Hylan, who was unable to be present. Commissioner Enright extended the welcome of the city in a graceful speech. Mr. Anderson, in part, said: "Your presence here is an additional pledge of fealty to the nation. This is the hour of unrest. The amateur thinker is in our midst, mistaking the noise and tumult of the hour for its sober reality. There is much discontent in the world just now, but they greatly err who imagine that the white crest on the wave is a true measure of the depths below. "We are listening to some strange doctrines and facing some strange proposals. One of the strangest is that our race should cast away all allegiance to this country and return to Africa. "We do not belong to that group to whom nothing is desirable but the impossible, and precious few of us can ever be led into the pursuit of fantastic visions. "As to our migration to Africa, let me say that when all the English in this country voluntarily return to the banks of the Thames and all the Irish go back to the shores of the Shannon; when the Germans return to the Rhine and the French to the Rhone; when the Italians seek the Tiber, the Russians the Neva and Volga, and all the Jews once more take their stand on Jordan's stormy banks, then, and not till then, will we consider a return to the fever-stricken banks of the dreamy Nile. Even then, like the prophet of old, we will probably have to be translated in a fiery chariot. "And why should we leave this country? We have done the States some service, and they know it. We have always stood ready to smite the foes and defamers of our country. We have fought in all the country's wars." "Whatever else may be said of us, this also must be said: That we love our God, our flag and our friends. In all this land there is not a black man's home so humble that it does not contain four objects of love and veneration—the Bible, the American flag, a picture of Abraham Lincoln and a picture of Theodore Roosevelt." JUSTICE AND FAIR DEAL FOR ALL. We urge Congress to consider the most effective means to end lynching in this country, which continues to be a terrible blot on our American civilization.—Platform of the Republican party, 1920. I believe the Federal Government should stamp out lynching and remove that stain from the fair name of America.—Warren G. Harding in Speech of Acceptance. I believe the Negro citizens of America 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 battlefields of the Republic have entitled them to all of freedom and opportunity, all of sympathy and aid that the American spirit of fairness and justice demands.—Warren G. Harding in Speech of Acceptance. Speaking our sympathies, uttering the conscience of all the people, mindful of our right to dwell amid the good fortunes of rational, conscience-impelled advancement, we hold the majesty of righteous government, with liberty under the law, to be our avoidance of chaos, and we call upon every citizen of the republic to hold fast to that which made us what we are, and we will have orderly government to safeguard the onward march to all we ought to be. WASHINGTON, D.C. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1920 Warren G. Harding in Speech of Acceptance. 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. Calvin Coolidge in Speech' of Acceptance. The observance of the law is the greatest solvent of public ills. Men speak of natural rights, but I challenge anyone to show where in nature any rights ever existed or were recognized until there was established for their declaration and protection a duly promulgated body of corresponding laws. The march of civilization has been ever under the protecting aegis of the law. It is the strong defense of the weak, the ever present refuge of innocence, a mighty fortress of the righteous. One with the law is a majority. While the law is observed the progress of civilization will continue. When such observance ceases, chaos and the ancient night of despotism will come again. Liberty goes unsupported or relies in its entirely on the maintenance of order and the execution of the law.—Calvin Coolidge in Speech of Acceptance. Our country has a heart as well as a head. It is social as well as individual. It has a broad and extending sympathy. It looks with the deepest concern to the welfare of those whom adversity still holds at the gateways of the all-inclusive American opportunity.—Calvin Coolidge in Speech of Acceptance. It is a good thing that the guard around the tomb of Lincoln should be composed of colored soldiers. It was my own good fortune to serve at Santiago beside colored troops. A man who is good enough to shed his blood for the country is good enough to be given a square deal afterwards. More than that, no man is entitled to, and less than that no man shall have.—Theodore. Roosevelt. Humanity needs renewed conseration to what we call fellow-citizenship.—Warren G. Harding on "National Ideals and Policies." The Republican party, assembled in representative national convention, reaffirms its unyielding devotion to the Constitution of the United States, and to the guarantees of civil, political and religious liberty therein contained.—Platform of the Republican party, 1920. Will Cooperate With the Men. While the women are interested in all the foregoing subjects, they have declared their readiness and willingness to cooperate with the men in effecting the desired solution of the problems incident to these subjects. The enthusiasm they have brought with them, coupled with their determination to use the ballot in bringing about reforms, the need of which is largely responsible for their desire to vote, bids fair to bring added strength to the Republican party. That the women have a high conception of their, political duties is evidenced by the expression of one of the leading women of the race, who said: "The women are not so much interested just now in positions for individuals as they are in 'a better position' for the race." This stand taken by the women is a clear indication that their fight, however waged, will be for better home conditions, better working conditions, better educational conditions, not only for their sex, but for the race at large. Discrimination at Washington. The present discrimination in various departments at Washington has CONFRONT fired the women with a determination to drive from the Capitol every semblance, of oppression, discrimination and segregation which the women have suffered under Democratic rule. Sept. 22—Harding Day. In order that the entire colored group of the country may throw its total strength and influence into the campaign, September 22 has been set apart as Harding Day, at which time there will be held throughout the country public meetings and celebrations dedicated to the election of the National Ticket. It has long since been the custom of the colored population to celebrate September 22 as Emancipation Day, but it is the consensus of opinion that this day should be set apart this year as the one day on which the Negro race, as a whole shall declare the Republican campaign officially opened. From now until September 22 registration will receive first attention, and after that day every energy will be bent towards rolling up for the Republican party an overwhelming majority. Women Lead in Registration and Evince Deep Interest in All Public Questions — Will Cooperate With Men—Women of Negro Race Realize Democratic Responsibility for Present Condition. The first registration day has shown clearly that the women knew all along why they wanted to vote. Almost every registration district report indicates that the women took the lead in registration. Unlike many men, they took advantage of the first day and qualified. Interested in Larger Subjects. That the women have grasped the meaning of larger economical and political subjects may be gleaned from their free discussions of such subjects as child labor, the high cost of living, educational improvements, labor as it affects their sex, and the present Democratic rule in Haiti. These are some of the subjects to which the women are prepared to address their first attention as partisans. Their innate interest in the home and their children compel them to seek suitable legislation which will insure the best possible home life for themselves and their families. The present inadequate educational facilities for children in certain sections of the country are destined to receive a vigorous attack by the women of the country. The labor question as it affects the women has been under discussion since the days of war emergencies, and the women are already preparing a vigorous program which will bring employment of their sex under a more suitable and helpful regulation. The women of both races are in perfect accord on the greater issues—the following statement from Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, president of the National American Woman Suffrage Association and honorary chairman of the Board of the National League of Women Voters, has issued the following appeal to the patriotic women of the United States: "For sixty years we have been appealing to the parties for the vote. Is it possible for us now, to remain outside of those parties and obtain the things we wish without petitioning for them? "If we are still to be petitioners, what was the idea of getting the vote? "The only way to get things in this country is to get them on the inside of the political party." The same sentiment is voiced by Mrs. Henrietta W. Livermore, who says: "The government of this country and all other governments of the people are carried on through political parties. No other way has yet been devised. Politics affect the home in many ways, and politics are controlled by political parties. "Every political party, like every other organization, is what its members make it. If women want better, cleaner politics, they work through the agencies which control politics, political parties. To do this they must enroll, register and vote with the party of their choice. "If, in the future, women do not become recognized and influential members of the political party their influence on State and national life will be necessarily small. "The nation needs the influence of its intelligent and patriotic women and needs that influence exerted in the most direct and effective way now. "Register, enroll and vote for the Republican party." Nor have they overlooked the importance of bringing relief to their sisters in Haiti. They complain that under the present Democratic administration, Southern "crackers" have been put in control in Haiti under the guise of necessary occupation by this Government. The women feel that the Democratic party is responsible not only for the humiliation of the Negro in this country, but for the evident desire of the Democrats of the South to assume control of Haiti and inject their prejudice in the customs of the island. MEETING OF PARCEL PORTERS' COMPANY By order of the trustees of the Parcel Porters' Company, incorporated under the laws of the Congress, in the District of Columbia, October 30, 1919, there will be a special meeting of the stockholders September 30, 1920, for the purpose of recapitalization COL. DAVIS AT TUSKEGEE. Tuskegee Institute, Ala., September 4.—Lieutenant-Colonel Benjamin O. Davis, of the Ninth United States Cavalry Regiment, who has been assigned to duty at Tuskegee Institute as professor of military science and tactics by the War Department, arrived September 1 to assume his new duties. Lieutenant-Colonel Davis is the highest ranking Negro officer on the active list of the United States Army. He is also the only Negro who has reached the grade of lieutenant-colonel in the regular army from the grade of private in the ranks. He has served both on the Mexican border and in the Philippine Islands with the Ninth and Tenth Cavalry Regiments. He was at one time United States military attache in the Republic of Liberia. During the great World War, Lieutenant-Colonel Davis was stationed in the Philippine Islands in command and with the Ninth Cavalry Regiment. Beginning September 1, the agricultural department of Tuskegee Institute will be under the directorship of Prof. B. F. Hubert. Prof. Hubert was formerly director of the agricultural department of the State College of South Carolina. He comes to Tuskegee with a splendid record and a widely known reputation. He is a graduate of the collegiate department of Morehouse College, Class of 1909, and also is a graduate of the Massachusetts Agricultural College, Class of 1912. He went directly from the latter college to assume his duties as director of the agricultural department at the State College of South Carolina. B. M. C. CONVENTION.

Ballou Designates Time and Place—The Largest Attendance in the History of the Public Schools. The official requirements for admission to the public schools of the District, which open at 9 o'clock on September 20, were announced Saturday, September 11, by Superintendent Frank W. Ballou. Notice was also given of hours and places at which prospective students should report and the time fixed for the various meetings of supervisory officers and teachers. Superintendent Ballou called special attention to the fact that a limited number of pupils can be admitted to the seventh grade of the junior high school for white children, located in the old Central High School building at Seventh and O streets, and to the junior high school for colored children in the old M street high school building, between Jersey avenue and First street. The principals of these schools will be in their offices each morning during the present week to receive applications for admission. Pupils coming to these schools from outside the District will report directly to the appropriate schools. Pupils who have attended public schools within the District should obtain from their respective supervising principals their discharge cards and scholarship records, which they should take with them to the junior high school when they apply for admission. Those whose records in scholarship and deportment are not satisfactory will not be admitted. Will Select Students. In case more pupils apply than can be accommodated in the junior high schools, selection will be made of those pupils whose scholarship record and deportment are satisfactory, and who would seem likely to derive the most benefit from the kind of instruction which the school provides. A few pupils of exceptional ability, it is announced, may be admitted to the eighth or ninth grades in each of the junior high schools. New pupils, 5 years of age by November 1, or older, will be admitted to the kindergarten, and pupils 6 years of age by November 1, or older, will be admitted to the first grades. All children not on the rolls of the public schools at the close of last year who desire to enter the graded schools and kindergarten should make application for admission tickets at the schools most convenient to their homes. Principals will be at their buildings from 8:30 to 10 o'clock in the mornings and from 4 to 5:30 o'clock in the afternoons of Friday and Saturday. Vaccination certificates must be presented. The law requires that "no child shall be admitted into the public school who shall not have been duly vaccinated or otherwise protected against smallpox." Report to Last-Year Rooms. All pupils in the graded schools last year, except those promoted to the high schools, will report to their last-year rooms, from which those to be transferred will be sent, to the higher classes. Pupils promoted to the high schools will report at the respective buildings at 11 o'clock on the morning of September 20. All applicants for admission or for advanced standing in the Central, Eastern, Western and Business high schools, as well as the McKinley Manual Training School, other than those who attended the District eighth grade, should report to the high school admission board at the Franklin School Thursday or Friday, between the hours of 9 and 12 in the morning, or from 2 to 5 in the afternoon. The board will assign pupils to examinations. Students entering the high schools in this manner will be assigned to schools other than Central High, except in cases approved by the superintendent. Examination for admission to the first year of the high schools will be given Saturday morning at 9 o'clock at the Franklin School. Candidates should be prepared to take examinations in English, grammar, composition, arithmetic, United States history and Constitution, and geography. All applicants must present proper certificates or records of work completed in other schools, otherwise no credit will be given for such work. Requirements the Same. Requirements for admission to first year classes in the colored high schools, except, of course, to graduates of the eighth grade in the District, are the same as those ruling in the case of the white schools: The admission board for Dunbar High School, the department of business practice and the Armstrong Manual Training School will receive applications at Dunbar High School from 2 to 5 o'clock Thursday and Friday afternoons. Supervising principals will meet teachers at 10 o'clock Saturday morning in their respective offices. High school principals will meet teachers at various buildings on Saturday afternoon, as follows: Central, 3:30; Eastern, 2; Western, 2; Business, 2; and McKinley, 3. LEAGUE SNOWED UNDER IN MANY STATE BATTLES Georgia Democracy Latest to Plant Foot Down on Wilson Theories—Expect Cox to Shift—Rain of Blows on Leading Issue May Drive Him to Substitute — Beaten in "Solid South"—Watson's Victory Is Direct Repudiation of Leader by Own Party. The Democratic donkey, burdened with the League of Nations issue, is barely creeping along, staggering under a succession of blows sufficient to take the heart right out of him. On top of the impressive victory scored by Senator George H. Moses in winning a renomination to the Senate by the people of New Hampshire on a straightout stand against the League of Nations, the very stronghold of Democracy has turned around and registered its will strongly against the attempted realization of the Wilsonian vision of entangling America in his League of Nations. The fact that Governor Cox, the Democratic nominee for President, is hand in glove with Mr. Wilson on this league issue and considers the United States a "quitter" because it will not obligate itself to police the rest of the world, brings the Georgia result to bear directly on the present battle for the Presidency. The administration "butted into" the Georgia situation to try to beat Senator Hoke Smith, with Hugh Dorsey. Thomas E. Watson, on a platform that he was opposed to any form of league, with or without reservations, beat both Smith and Dorsey. Senator Smith was not opposed to any league, but had failed to stick to the Wilsonian coattails on several occasions and was marked for slaughter. Politicians here of both big parties, drawing their inferences from all the primaries held thus far, are forced to draw one conclusion from the results—that there is a tremendous swing of sentiment away from day dreams and nonsense of all sorts and toward common sense; away from a policy of heads in the clouds towards a policy of feet on the solid ground. Without exception wherever a primary has been held there has been only the smallest shred of hope to be derived therefrom by the party, which has elected to seek office on the Wilson internationalization scheme. Democrats here admit reluctantly that this is true. They cannot juggle the New Hampshire or Georgia results in any manner that will help them. In the minds of Democrats there is the thought here that Governor Cox, shrewd politician that he is supposed to be, will attempt to bury the league issue under a mass of words about other matters. This Republican leaders here have now made up their minds, will not be allowed to get very far. They have seen the trend of the opinion of the nation and they are now going to hold Governor Cox and his followers to strict accountability on the league issue. HOPE FOR ACTION ON SOUTHERN QUESTION By Joseph C. Manning. Constitutional democracy, the ballot rights of the masses of the people of the Southern States—this has been foremost of concern to me in my political activity. From the very beginning of my participation in public life, in Alabama and the South, it was apparent to me that the first thing in the mind of every Southern citizen ought to be the overthrow of the rule of the Southern people by the political autocracy. I have attacked that condition of the repression of the plain people of the white South, and I have assailed the suppression and the oppression of the colored people of the South. That thing of Southern Democratic propaganda—of propaganda against the Negro people—indulged in to divert actual issues and real problems has been looked upon by me as a most contemptible sort of appeal in politics. Its undercurrent purpose, its ulterior design, has been to compel acquiescence into the rule of the few, and while the attack has been directed at colored people, the result of it all has accomplished the end of the domination of an oligarchy that is disregardful of the welfare of the common man, whether he be white or colored. I have undertaken, through the presentation of facts, to get all the people of the entire country to understand that condition in the Southern States and to look through the smoke screen of partisan Democratic repre- Use Quinade Quinade is a medicated pomade. scientifically compounded under the direct supervision of a registered pharmacist.

I have urged the people of the Nation to understand that it has been not so, much the desire to keep the Negro down in the Southern States that has been in the minds of the Democratic leaders, but a plan to keep the rule of the oligarchy up. Unrestrained by public sentiment, or enforcement by Congress of the Federal suffrage guarantees, the political party of repression in the South, this new political slavery has been permitted to go on in its elimination of citizens from voting until the aggressions of the Southern Democracy is finally compelling discussion. So, this persistent giving out facts and figures, this keeping at it in calling attention to this lynching of ballot rights, has at last come to the day and the hour when the issue is to become of serious moment and deep concern in politics. Those who have so long wished that the Nation would uphold the rights of its citizens at home and see to it that constitutional suffrage rights be enforced now have hope that action on this will be taken. IN THE RELIGIOUS WORLD. The congregation of Trinity Baptist Church, although quite small, is said to have purchased the magnificent church property owned by a white congregation, and the congregation of Trinity Baptist will move into its new quarters late in the fall. It has not been announced what amount of money passed in the transaction, but it is generally known, as is usually the custom when colored people buy white church properties, that a very large sum of money is involved. The congregation of Mt. Moriah Baptist Church, a very progressive congregation in the southwest section of the city, has purchased land in that locality on which will be erected a magnificent building, larger in size than its present edifice and much more modern. The older members of the congregation, however, do not take kindly to moving the church, believing it to be to the best interest of all concerned to remain on the old church site, which they call their "glory land."

SHEPARD, DURHAM, NORTH CAROLINA PUBLIC MEN AND THINGS. By the Sage of the Potomac. There is one thing certain, the new theatre is going up. This city is able to support two first-class theatres. Instead of their money going in several different directions, it will come right back to them. S. H. Dudley is some kind of manipulator. He knows how to do things and goes right ahead with them. *** Judge E. M. Hewlett has returned to the city. I believe that marrying has improved his health. Good homes will improve anybody's health. My good friend Benjamin Gaskins is rising in the legal profession. Some day he will be the shining light in the legal profession. **** The Elks had a jubilee in Kansas City. Kan. Grand Exalted Ruler Dixon was in the limelight. President Dixon doesn't make much fuss, but he gets there just the same. Two local organizations have come together and before long they will be living in the same house. In speaking of the Elks, Ex-Grand Exalted Ruler E. W. Bundy is entitled to consideration. Just the same, there would not have been any Elks' home had it not been for Bundy. I hope the day will come when the good work of Bundy will be appreciated. Columbia Lodge of Elks has made a good record. Grand Exalted Ruler McMichen's report was a crackerjack. His report won his unanimous re-election. The District boys returned very much elated. Harry L. Tignore, who has been the legal adviser of the organization for a number of years, knows how to entertain the boys when he sets his table. At the victory reception last week the Elks had a good time. All to whom invitations were sent failed to respond. I understand that the election at Kansas City was cut and dried. All that had to be done was to put the apples in the pan and warm them. Judge Morris carried out the program according to Hoyle. My good friend Vincent Thomas has become somewhat of a recluse these peculiar summer days. Vincent is looking far into the future. He has many thoughts. He knows that it is a life job. However, he has decided to travel the road that all others have trod. Nothing beats a trial. No one knows what it is until he has tried it and gone alone. It is an easy matter to tie a "knot," but when that "knot" is tied, it takes a sharp knife to untie it. I wish everybody happiness and contentment of mind. It is only the happy mind I must congratulate my young friend Charles E. Lane. He has some business tact about him. He is a genial and up-to-date hustler. It is said that he was one of the most TERM OPENS SEPTEMBER 21, 1920 For further information and Catalog, address JAMES E. SHEPARD, DURHAM, NORT For further information and Catalog, address sensible men in the army: He was Judge Advocate and possessed a judicial mind. He will make a brilliant lawyer. His decisions and defense of the unfortunates in the army passed muster. His judicial decisions were highly commended by the War Department. *** I met my good old friend, Ex-Governor P. B. S. Pinchback, a few days ago. The old war governor and politician has retired from politics. He has seen great men come and go. His mind is as active as it was in the days of reconstruction. H.

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.

These one dred electoral votes, belong by no extent the Republicans are handic. There is only one present rem is to play the game of tit-for-tat, we do not advise the Republ North to offset the fraudulent ele from the South. We only state it ably be morally justifiable. Last week we printed an article with approximate figures to show how much money it would be necessary for the Republican party to collect and spend during the present campaign in order to put that party on an equal footing with the Democratic party—to give it an even start in the race. We reproduce that article this week. It is to be remembered that a presidential race differs from a horse race in several essentials—there must be an even start; there must be no artificial handicap. Moreover, a presidential race cannot be postponed or called off on account of disagreement or fraud or attempted fraud. We show by illustrative figures that, by means of padded voting lists, tissue ballots and terrorism in the Southern States, the Democratic party in presidential elections is accustomed to enter the races with a bald stolen advantage of nearly one million ballots. This enables that party to come to the Electoral College with considerably over one hundred electoral votes unfairly obtained—obtained by unblushing fraud. These one million ballots, or over one hundred electoral votes, belong by right to the Republicans. To this extent the Republicans are handicapped in the race. There is only one present remedy for the Republicans, and that is to play the game of tit-for-tat, or to fight the devil with fire. We do not advise the Republicans to buy enough votes in the North to offset the fraudulent electoral votes that are sure to come from the South. We only state in effect that to do so would probably be morally justifiable. Solid South is in the saddle; With customary twaddle He prates of honesty and knowledge; A million bogus votes In his saddle bags he totes, He's off for the Electoral College. "A DAY IN THE NATION'S CAPITAL." department. The foll attended the convent A Most Interesting and Inspiring News Feature Pictorial. "A Day in the Nation's Capital," a two-reel Negro News Pictorial, produced by the Monumental Pictures Corporation of Washington and New York, the new half-million-dollar picture-producing corporation, to be exhibited in this city at the Hiawatha Theatre next week, from Wednesday to Saturday, is, indeed, a most novel and unique picture. "A Day in the Nation's Capital" is the first picture to be produced by this new Negro motion picture corporation, and is certainly a notable achievement. Splendid photography, artistic titles, well edited and directed and artistically tinted, presenting a film of unusual interest to the colored people of this country, it deals with the progress of the American Negro in Washington, D.C., the Nation's Capital, one of the most beautiful cities in the world. It is inspiring, educational and interesting and should be seen by every colored man, woman and child. It emphasizes the great possibilities of the medium of motion pictures not only to make money for Negroes, but to show to the world their accomplishments, even in the face of great injustice and oppression. Forty-three scenes are flashed, in which are shown Negro churches, colleges, schools, hospitals, playgrounds, business places, theatres and many other features. JAMES REESE EUROPE POST.

For a Living Memorial. Theodore Roosevelt's spirit is to be kept alive and fresh in the minds of the people whom he knew so well. Gifford Pinchot, long-time friend of the colonel, is named as chairman of a committee whose purpose will be to provide a living memorial for the advancement of Roosevelt's ideals. Members of that committee are men and women whose lives were touched and influenced by those ideals. They are Lawrence F. Abbott, Carl E. Akeley, Henry J. Allen, Hermann Hagedorn, Henry C. Lindsley, Mrs. Medill McCormick, J. J. McGraw, Dwight W. Morrow, Mrs. C. A. Severance, Oscar S. Straus, Mark Sullivan, E. A. Van Valkenburg, Henry C.

"The sun and the wind and the open spaces of this earth that saw Theodore Roosevelt and Seth Bullock riding side by side in the pursuit of clean adventure have now seen Seth Bullock disappear over the trail which his friends had taken before him," the striking resolution recited.

Mrs. Mitchell Returns With Many Negatives of Native Scenes and People of Mystic Lands. New York, September 15.—Mrs. Elizabeth Mitchell, musical director during the past ten years at the West. Virginia Collegiate Institute, at Institute, who went to Northern Africa and Southern Europe last June for the purpose of securing negatives in travelogue form, returned to the country on the White Star liner Cedric, landing in Boston Tuesday of last week, where she was met by her husband, Mr. C. E. Mitchell, president of the Mutual Savings and Loan Company of Charleston and the financial agent of the West Virginia Collegiate Institute. They came immediately to New York, remained two days, and went direct to Institute, where Mrs. Mitchell will rest and recuperate. During her sojourn in Northern Africa and Southern Europe, Mrs. Mitchell secured four thousand feet of films, which will be converted into "movie" purposes at once. When it is ready a presentation of the travelogue will be privately made in New York, at which newspaper and theatrical managers will be invited to view it. Headquarters of the Mitchell Travelogue Company have been established in New York, at 2293 Seventh avenue, with T. Thomas Fortune as manager. GROWING INTEREST $ ^{6} $ IN BAHAI MOVEMENT Abdul Baha, the venerable and majestic figure who from his home on Mount Carmel directs the movement toward the religious unity of the world, is pleased with the activities of his friends, a circle which ever widens. "Think of the world," he teaches, "as the body of a man sick and infirm from various diseases. Among these diseases are religious, racial and patriotic prejudices. All these diseases must be healed before the patient can recover and human unity be established." The Bahai universal principles, foremost among which are the independent investigation of truth and the oneness of the world of humanity, are making an irresistible appeal to all classes of people. Mr. William H. Randall, of Boston, prominent in the world of business and also a Bahai teacher, recently accompanied Jeniba Fazel Manzandarani on the Chautauqua circuit. He reports that at Chautauqua, Roycroft and a few other places the great message reached about fifteen thousand souls. So great were the interest and enthusiasm of the crowds that the speakers were almost run down in the eagerness of the crowds to get the free literature. During the fall and winter Mirza Fazel will tour the Western and Southern States. One of the most notable successes of the cause is in Harlem, where an entire church has become Bahai. At a recent meeting the pastor, Rev. Mr. Bolden, declared himself a Bahai. He said he had studied the Bahai cause and it had not made him less loyal to Christ; but he had discovered that this was a new Sun arisen in the horizon of truth. His address contained the fiery eloquence of divine love. At this meeting a Jew presided, speaking with great power, showing how the Bahai cause was making Jews, Christians and Moslems love each other, and how the racial prejudice of whom beautifully expressed were a Hindoo, a South American, a Frenchman, a Negro and a woman, each of whom beautifully expressed the Bahai ideals of unity and brotherhood. It is difficult to imagine such a medley of singers outside of a Bahai meeting. Their song was the universal melody of the kingdom. The whole audience seemed inspired, and the presence of the Spirit was proved by the joy and illumination of every heart. It was, indeed, a heavenly feast. Such is the effect of the revelation of His Holiness Bahai-o'llah and such the power of the center of the covenant of God. Abdul Baha. The Bahais in every part of the world are making great sacrifices to make known the truth. Inspiring reports come from every direction of the activities of the friends and the progress of the cause. A recent letter was addressed to Abdul Baha from Louisville, Ky. It urged him to visit Louisville and bore many signatures, representing every class of people, from the multimillionaire to the day laborer. Miss Martha Root, formerly the society editor of the Pittsburgh Post, has carried the message to all the countries of South America. But perhaps the greatest impetus is the Mashrek of Azkar, or Bahai Temple, soon to be erected in Chicago. This is the universal house of worship, where all races and religions will meet. The erection bids fair to revolutionize religious worship throughout the world. "Arise, shine, for thy Baha (Light) has come and Baha'o'llah (the glory of God) has risen upon thee!" HOW SHALL I VOTE?—THE STRIKE. We have been wading through the slough of despond, worrying and praying about the social and economic status of the colored man, and figuring how he can better that status through political agencies. If our knees a.e observed to be threadbare from praying, no one shall say that any other part of our nether garment is frayed from backsliding or from sitting overtime idle. Our motto is: "Nullo vestigia retorsum"—"No step backward." The black man is today one of the certain assets of the Republican party. We are Republican. We want some relief through the agency of our own party. We have heretofore pointed out the nature of the relief wanted. Heretofore this relief has not beer forthcoming for several reasons among them: (1) At times the Republicans were strong enough to win regardless of a few, defections in our ranks; (2) at other times the Republicans were so sure of us that they saw no necessity to placate us, some saying, "No use to run after a call that is tied"; others, "It is bad policy to coddle the Negro." (3) Some Republicans (not the majority) would rather resign the political power than accord the black man full justice. (4) Justice is not to be expected at the hands of the Democratic party because the cornerstone principle of that party is Negrophobia and Negro-exploitation, (many Republicans approve this principle). It is easy to account for the remissness and neglect of the surenough good Republicans. It is on the principle that that the husband neglects his wife because he is "sure of her." She finds it necessary to call him to taw. Sometimes she will quit him for a season. Many a loving wife cracks hubby on the head with the skilllet or shies dishes or throws hot-water; but never with intention thereby to become widowed. It is simply a bit of household readjustment. The cases are rare where the wronged mate seeks divorcement For the colored voter the skillet method is not to be recommended because it would invite retaliation. Absolute divorce is not recommended because on the whole the white Republicans are the best types of our American manhood, because no other permanent alliance is available and because the colored voter is not strong enough to stand alone. Throwing crockery is a wasteful, dangerous, unladylike, insane and altogether detestable form of domestic adjustment. So far as we can see, the only political weapon available to the colored Republican is the strike—political strike. The strike does not imply loss of love or denial of community of interest, or permanent separation, or the permanent embarrassment of the more powerful of the contracting parties. When in these columns we alluded to the alternative of a new separate black man's party, we alluded to it only as a possible alternative, not a probable one. Such a course would be a dernier resort—a last necessity. And even were such a new separate party formed, it would be only with the view of ultimate return to the same old party, or to some legitimate successor with like fundamental principles. It is to be remembered that in our country there are only two major parties, and likely to be only two. Desired national legislation must be got through one of these two. Consequently, when a voter casts a vote for a third party, it is cast only for purposes of propaganda, not for the purpose of winning an election. Such a vote is merely a whip, a lever. Its object is to force one or both of the two major parties (corrupt or hardened) to a policy and practice of decency and justice. This is the theory of all new small parties. Somewhat similar is the theory of shifting from one major party to the other and then back again: The necessity for an intelligent electorate to shift from party to party from time to time is almost equal to the necessity of elections themselves. Major parties long in power grow corrupt or hardened. The independent voter is the savior of his country or his nearer interest. "A man who always votes one way does not really vote at all." THE NATIONAL BAPTIST CONVENTION. Great Crowds Gather at Columbus, Ohio. "Columbus, Ohio, September 8. — Thousands of Baptists from every nook and corner of the United States are here attending the fortieth annual session of the National Baptist Convention, which is presided over by Edward P. Jones, D. D., of Evanston, Ill. It was exactly 10:30 this morning when the mass of Baptists gathered in the spacious Convention Hall were finally rapped to order, and the chorus of many voices sounded a jubilee melody song, "It's Me. O Lord, Standing in the Need of Prayer." The national chorister insisted upon everyone singing, and everyone seemed to be singing. Dr. Johnson, of Texas; Dr. W. J. Ballou, of Florida, and Dr. C. J. Watson, of Alabama, took charge of the devotion, which lasted until 11 o'clock. It was perhaps the most con- spicuous and auspicious opening of any session of the convention for a decade, as it is meeting in the State that is furnishing both presidential candidates for the two leading parties. The special trains arriving in Columbus are coming in hourly, the South furnishing the larger portion of the delegation. The program provides for six days' session, bringing it to a close next Monday. The feature of today's meeting, was the annual address of President Edward P. Jones, whose brilliant oratory, coupled with his eloquent and logical presentation of the accomplishments of the Baptists throughout the country, captivated an audience estimated at more than ten thousand. It was Dr. Jones' fifth annual message to the Baptist forces. He delt with matters perraining to religion, the State and the convention. He dwelled on the marvelous development of the Negro in every land wherever the religion of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ had been allowed to take hold. At the conclusion of his address, he was given a great ovation, such as has not been witnessed for many years. Throughout the week the reports of the eight different boards are to be read by their secretaries, showing the scope of activity of the convention through its several arms during the past year. The local committee had charge at the night session, and the various welcomes from business, political, social and civic organizations were made. The official opening of the Women's Auxiliary to the National Baptist Convention occurs tomorrow morning at the Long Street Baptist Church, corner of Twenty-second and Long streets. Mrs. G. DeB. Aslburn will formally declare the meeting open, but it is to be preceded by a song service led by Miss Lula Mae Butler. The president's annual address will be delivered tomorrow afternoon. The two national bodies are estimated to have in attendance in the neighborhood of twenty-seven hundred representatives, which include churches, State conventions, associations and missionary organizations; with individuals. NO INTEREST. Newport News, Va., September 18. —J. Thomas Newsome, colored lawyer and member of the colored Republican organization in this city, stated that thus far the organization has taken no steps to line up colored women voters in the coming election. "There seems to be little interest in it among the colored women," he said. "And whatever happens, it will not change the result from what it would have been if the amendment had not been passed."

The Democratic candidate for the Presidency, Mr. Cox, appears to be exercised—he manifests symptoms of indignation—over a moral question. He accuses the Republicans of trying to raise a big, brutal slush fund to carry the presidential election. He implies that to carry the election in this way would be immoral, not to say illegal. The Democratic candidate for the Presidency, Mr. to be exercised—he manifests symptoms of indignation moral question. He accuses the Republicans of trying big, brutal slush fund to carry the presidential election that to carry the election in this way would be immoral legal. Evidently Mr. Cox is a subtle casuist—a sophist. Main patent fact having an essential bearing on the item, which is: That the Democratic party occasioned residential and congressional elections—and designs next November, by the following devices, to wit: Evidently Mr. Cox is a subtle casuist—a sophist. He suppresses a main patent fact having an essential bearing on the moral problem, which is: That the Democratic party occasionally carries presidential and congressional elections—and designs to carry one next November, by the following-devices, to wit: 1. Padded voting lists in Southern States. 2. Tissue ballots voted in Southern States. 3. Terrorism in Southern States. 4. Grandfather's clause test in Southern States. 4. Grandfather's clause test in Southern States. This is illegal and immoral, but Mr. Cox does not believe he does not even allude to it. Surely he is not ignorant to become President by this illegal and immoral clause. The polite Republican managers these days refrain from issue of this form of corruption. They once were not make it an issue, but have quit that. They are now so such a disagreeable thing—unwilling to be accused of southern brothers of waiving the "bloody shirt." They had form," forsooth, for "blood is thicker than water." The Republican leaders would rather not win nation than to demand universal political manhood in all the think there is too much of this ludicrous "My Dear Boston business"—too damned much politeness! Republicans prefer to depend on fortune and "the sinew Mr. Cox's charge of designed corruption can best be a simple statement of account. Here it is: Democratic Spoliation—Onset. 100,000 padded votes, at $5. 100,000 tissue ballots, at $5. 100,000 terrorism equals 500,000 ballots, at $5. 100,000 bradfather test, 100,000 ballots, at $5. Democratic spoliation, 800,000 votes. Republican Reparation—Offset. To get to polls 400,000 indifferent Republican regulars at $5 To keep from polls 200,000 non-partisans in North, at $5 To buy 200,000 Democratic regulars in North, at $10. Republican needs for offset of 800,000 votes. Balance. Republican needs for offset Democratic realization Republican deficit The Republicans say that they have no desire to win 100,000,000, although, to make sure, they have made a 1491,500. Plainly, they require $5,000,000 for the six offsetting the effect of Democratic fraud in the South. They will not enter the race without a serious handicap. Thus, it is as plain as a pikestaff that for the Republicans race on even terms they will have to be conceded 100,000,000 for individual vote getting in the North. This may be fair to assume that each party will require additional for other "legitimate" expenses. The pecuniary cost to the Democratic party to make normal Republican votes in the South is small, because workers their work of intimidation and fraud is a way they work free of charge. Say, then, that the Democrat 100,000,000 only. But the Republicans ought, in fairness, to collect 100,000,000 plus $5,000,000, which equals $8,000,000. Invent, the Republicans will be morally entitled to raise 100,000,000 more than the Democrats. Maybe Mr. Cox, when he reads this, will disclaim him for the fraud in the South. That will not alter the case permit that those conditions exist. If he is a square giver to the Republicans put off their unjust handicap, to evade not kick against their raising the money necessary. Maybe some, even more squeamish than Mr. Cox, sawful; all this is immoral!" They should remember morality does not consist in exposing immorality. I moral to demand an even chance in a game, or in a life a presidential race. This is illegal and immoral, but Mr. Cox does not disavow it. He does not even allude to it. Surely he is not ignorant of it. He hopes to become President by this illegal and immoral aid. The polite Republican managers these days refrain from making any issue of this form of corruption. They once were accustomed to make it an issue, but have quit that. They are now unwilling to do such a disagreeable thing—unwilling to be accused by their white Southern brothers of waiving the "bloody shirt." That would be bad form," forsooth, for "blood is thicker than water." The Republican leaders would rather not win national elections than to demand universal political manhood in all the States. We think there is too much of this ludicrous "My Dear Alphonse and Gaston business"—too damned much politeness! However, the Republicans prefer to depend on fortune and "the sinews of war." Mr. Cox's charge of designed corruption can best be answered by a simple statement of account. Here it is: The Republicans say that they have no desire to collect over $3,000,000, although, to make sure, they have made an appeal for $4,491,500. Plainly, they require $5,000,000 for the single object of offsetting the effect of Democratic fraud in the South. Otherwise, they will not enter the race without a serious handicap. Thus, it is as plain as a pikestaff that for the Republicans to enter the race on even terms they will have to be conceded at the start $5,000,000 for individual vote getting in the North. That conceded, it may be fair to assume that each party will require $3,000,000 additional for other "legitimate" expenses. The pecuniary cost to the Democratic party to nullify 800,000 normal Republican votes in the South is small, because with the workers their work of intimidation and fraud is a work of love—they work free of charge. Say, then, that the Democrats require $3,000,000 only. But the Republicans ought, in fairness, to collect and spend $3,000,000 plus $5,000,000, which equals $8,000,000. Or, in any event, the Republicans will be morally entitled to raise and spend $5,000,000 more than the Democrats. Maybe Mr. Cox, when he reads this, will disclaim responsibility for the fraud in the South. That will not alter the case. He must admit that those conditions exist. If he is a square sport, he will let the Republicans put off their unjust handicap, to even things, and not kick against their raising the money necessary to do this. Maybe some, even more squeamish than Mr. Cox, will exclaim: "Awful; all this is immoral!" They should remember that immorality does not consist in exposing immorality. It is not immoral to demand an even chance in a game, or in a horse race, or in a presidential race. What does Mr. Cox now say? Flowers For Funeral Kramer the Flor 916 F Street, Northwest A. T.
