A Great National Organization Doing Good Work—Representative Citizens At the Head—Acquires Valuable Property on F Street in the Heart of the Business District. The Supreme Order of Helpers is now in its new headquarters at 615 F street northwest. The property, an attractive four-story office building of twenty-one rooms, plus a basement store room running the entire length of the building, was purchased recently by the order and extensive alterations made in order to fit it for its headquarters and for professional offices. All the space in the building is occupied, and a long list of waiting applicants is in the offices of the national secretary. Besides the headquarters of the order there are on the first floor the law offices of Mr. W. L. Houston, the law offices of Mr. S. M. Dudley, the law and real estate offices of Messrs. Mortimer M. Harris and W. P. NATIONAL EXECUTIVE From left to right (standing): Wm. B. Examiner. Seated: W. L. Houston. Treasurer; Rev. W. H. Jernagin, the Tercentenary Movement of the A. M. E. Zion Church of which Mr. S. M. Dudley is the executive secretary. The purchase of this property is a noteworthy event in local history, for before there was only one other colored organization owning a foot of ground in the business district of Washington. The members of the order now have something they can see and something which represents their money and protects their policies to the full face value, and they are taking honest pride in the achievement of the National Executive Committee in securing this property, because the purchase was made without taxing a single cent against the membership, which is a wonderful record for an order that is only five years old. In February, 1915, nine persons—James C. Napier, William L. Houston, Samuel M. Dudley, William J. Butler, Ulysses L. Houston, John H. Polk, William H. Jernagin, Buchanan W. Faire and Hartford R. Burwell—organized the Supreme Order of Helpers and had it incorporated under the laws of the District of Columbia. It was created to meet the present-day problems of our race and to introduce advanced ideas into fraternal organizations. The order is governed by a National Executive Committee composed of successful business and professional men, to wit: Hon. J. C. Napier, president; W. L. Houston, national secretary; S. LADE & PAIRING 615 Supreme Order of Helpers Building, 615 F Street Northwest, Washington, D. C. COMMITTEE OF THE SUPREME B. Wilson, National Director; Dr. Ulyon, National Secretary; J. C. Napier, National Chaplain. Tucker, together with the offices of M. Dudley, national treasurer; Wm. B. Wilson, national director; Dr. Ulysses L. Houston, national medical examiney, and Rev. Wm. H. Jernagin, national chaplain. These officers have been so enthusiastic and confident of the future of the order that they have given their best services to the fraternity and have been rewarded by its wonderful growth. By shrewd business management the overhead expenses have been cut to a minimum, and funds have accumulated in gathering volume until the order was able to purchase this valuable property. The wisdom of the investment is testified to when it is realized that, although the order has been in possession of the premises but two months, it has already been offered $15,000 more than the price which it paid. But all offers for the property have been refused because values of property in the business district are on the rapid increase, and the property will become more valuable each succeeding year. The committee promises that this is but the beginning of the manifestations of the order's activities. From the small membership in 1915 it has grown by leaps and bounds until today it is one of the most substantial and reliable fraternities in the District of Columbia. The confidence the community has in it is shown by the fact that Booker T. Washington Lodge, No. 3, in southwest, Washington, has over 850 finan- WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1920 cial members. The foundations of the order are race cooperation and race opportunity. These governing principles are expressed in its official emblem: Patriotism, loyalty to country; Devotion, loyalty to home and race, and Charity, loyalty to the members of the order. No member of the order is allowed to remain out of work if he desires such and is competent. An employment bureau is maintained for the members free of cost, and at each lodge meeting there are always two questions asked: (1) Is there any member who wants work? (2) Is there any member who knows of a vacant position? Thus, without a cent of cost every member is kept constantly employed. This idea is carried even farther. On joining the order every member assumes the obligation to patronize the members of the order engaged in business; and every member engaged in business pledges to give special consideration to the members of the order offering him patronage. The Supreme Order of Helpers is determined that wherever the official emblem is worn or displayed it will mean honest working people as well as honest, courteous and special business considera- E ORDER OF HELPERS. Ysses L. Houston, National Medical President; S. M. Dudley, National One of the most striking features of the order is that there are no assessments levied against the members for payment of death or funeral claims; these are paid from the accumulated mortuary fund. The idea of the founders was to escape the unsatisfactory and annoying feature prevailing in other associations in making special assessments for death and other claims, but to fix the amount of the member's dues so that each person could know definitely the extent of his obligations. To that end the monthly dues have been fixed at 50 cents for ten months in the year and 75 cents for the months of January and July. The extra 25 cents is for the expenses of operation, such as clerk hire, postage, stationery, printing, and so forth. Of the 50 cents regular monthly dues, 25 cents is sent to the National Executive Committee for a mortuary fund; the remaining 25 cents is retained in the treasury of the lodge with which to defray its obligations. The lodge pays sick benefits, but all death claims are paid out of the mortuary fund without one cent of extra expense to the members. Fifty dollars is paid if death occurs within one year after the date of initiation, and $100 if death occurs thereafter. To develop race pride all of the lodges, with the exception of the first lodge, which was named for Lincoln, the great emancipator, are named for colored men who have made great --- contributions to the race: Douglass Lodge, No. 2; Booker T. Washington Lodge, No. 3; John M. Langston Lodge, No. 4; George W. Lee Lodge, No. 5; Perry H. Carson Lodge, No. 6; Sandy Alexander Lodge, No. 7, and Dunbar Lodge, No. 8. All of these lodges are vigorous, with large memberships and substantial treasuries. In celebration of the establishing of the new headquarters, each lodge has instituted a membership campaign, offering special inducements to all candidates who avail themselves of the opportunity to join during this period. The initiation fee has been reduced to $2 for the next ninety days, and candidates will be made at each monthly meeting of the lodge. With the effective appeal of a strong organization which backs its members and keeps them on their feet instead of only helping the sick and burying the dead, and which affords them fraternal protection at a lower rate than any other organization, the members are going forward confident of more than doubling the membership before the close of the campaign. Persons, both males and females, are admitted to membership between the ages of 18 and 55 years. The Supreme Order of Helpers is in the lead and growing stronger every day. It is the modern, forward-looking fraternal organization, which is helping its members and building for the race in a bigger and better way. WHAT THE NATIONAL RACE CONGRESS STANDS FOR. The National Race Congress stands for all the rights and privileges of Negroes on the same basis, as other Americans. Our principles are justice, liberty and opportunity for all. We seek our rights by courage, common sense and conservative agitation for the rights of our people. Our aim is to hearten, inform and inspire the average man. There are plenty of conventions for leaders, but we can never get the race together in purpose and work until we get the mind of the average man in all the matters that pertain to our growth. Our meetings are inspirational. THE NEGRO VOTE MAY SWING THE ELECTION Figures published today by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth avenue, New York, indicate that the vote of Negroes in Northern States may elect the next President. "The Negro vote this year," says the statement, "will constitute the balance of power or will approach closely to being the balance of power in eight pivotal States, which have 165 votes in the electoral college." The States with their probable Negro vote, due to immigration and enfranchisement of women, are given as follows: Illinois, 125,000; Indiana, 45,000; Kentucky, 150,000; Maryland, 150,000; Michigan, 25,000; New Jersey, -75,000; New York, 125,000; Ohio, 100,000. In each one of these States the probable Negro vote is larger than the number of votes necessary to swing the State. TWENTIETH ANNUAL REPORT Miss Nannie H. Burroughs Makes a Concise Statement of Her Work to the Twentieth Annual Woman's Convention. Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, principal of the Woman's National Training School, made a complete and concise report of her work to the auxiliary of the National Baptist Convention at Indianapolis, Ind., on September 12 and 13. Miss Burroughs accounts for every cent that she has collected and has been received by her for the school of which she has been such a successful principal. She states that the net worth of her plant is $93,382.72: This is remarkable in view of the fact that she has done the work of this institution alone. The auditor gives her a clean bill. REV. WILLBANKS. Dr. Willbanks, world's famed evangelist, and wife returned from the great National Baptist Convention with many other pastors of this city. The convention was held in Indianapolis, Ind. There were 10,000 delegates present from all over the United States. It was the greatest session in the history of the convention. President Dr. E. C. Morris, of Helena, Ark., was unanimously re-elected. Dr. Willbanks, the only evangelist of international reputation, was appointed one year ago as one of the national evangelists by the Department of Evangelism of the National Convention. The printed report submitted to the convention showed that he, since his appointment, had conducted more revivals and had more conversions than any ten of the other evangelists of the evangelistic staff. Thousands were converted and joined the different churches. He received a hundred invitations to conduct a campaign from Omaha, Nebr., and Los Angeles, Calif., and is being congratulated by pastors all over the country. On his return official Washington and the Teenth Street Baptist Church are sharing in the congratulation. Mrs. Willbanks' birthday came last Tuesday, the 14th of September, while she was en route home from the convention, and she celebrated it on the train. A purse was made up by all the pastors of the District of Columbia and Maryland and presented to her, which she accepted and thanked all for their words of kindness and presentation. On their return home the pipe organ that has just been installed in the Tenth Street Baptist Church was unveiled on Thursday evening. There were speeches by Lawyer P. W. Erisby, Rev. J. P. Nichols and others. The choir of the Vermont Avenue Baptist Church, led by Mr. Slater, furnished the music. After the exercises the guests repaired to the lecture room, where a bountiful repast was served by a committee of ladies. A great harvest homecoming revival is now in progress at the Tenth Street Baptist Church, conducted by Dr. Willbanks. All are welcome. RACE CONGRESS TO MEET IN JOHN WESLEY A. M. E. Z The meetings of the National Race Congress will be held in John Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church, corner of Fourteenth and Corcoran streets northwest, Rev. W. O. Carrington, D.

C. The twentieth B. M. C., held in New York September 13, called the "Diamond Jubilee," was a grand success. The Washington Division was given the post of honor, and with their magnificent band of forty pieces and their drum-major, Sam, took New York by storm. Every State in the Union was represented: The session was the largest ever known, and adjourned to meet at Columbus, Ohio, in 1922. The competitive drill by the several patriarchies was splendid. Much credit should be given to Georgetown, as they had only two months of training, under the efficient Captain Chiver. At the next meeting they will take the honors. Many receptions were given to the Washington people, the most notable one by Mrs. S. Sheldon (nee Christian), formerly of Georgetown, Wednesday evening. The table was beautifully decorated. Those from Washington who were guests were: Mr. and Mrs. Overton, Mr. and Mrs. Lorenzo Chase, Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Christian; Messrs. John Harris, R. M. Carter, Randolph Jordan and Charles H. Turner; of New York, Mrs. L. Scott, Mrs. M. Jones, Miss M. Christian and Mrs. Marscelloma Harris. Mr. Bony Fleet, of Union Light Lodge, No. 1965, gave a dinner to Messrs. S. Barnett, of Union Light; R. Jordan, of Columbia, and C. H. Turner, of the Young Men's Progressive Lodge, No. 4156, in Jersey City, where he resides with his niece, Mrs. E. Smith (nee Barker), formerly of this city. Officers Elected. Grand Master, Edward H. Morris. Deputy Grand Master, Isaac L. Roberts. Grand Treasurer, W. David Brown. Grand Secretary, James F. Needham.

DELEGATES GET New York, September 16.—No; the explosion did not interfere with the B. M. C. in the least; and it seemed as if Washington was the password all through Harlem, that world-famous colored settlement of New York. White and colored cheered the Washington band directed by Prot. Hoffman and led up Fifth avenue by "Black Sam." Washington's favorite drum-major, while the crowds cheered at his strutting. Samuel seemed to have been on razor edge for the B. M. C., and the movie men were kept busy along the line of march clicking the various stunts of the drum-major and excellent band, dressed in white, representing the Nation's Capital. The Washington Lady Odd Fellows and the Patriarchs received a big ovation, as did also the crack Odd Fellows' Marching Club, of Washington, dressed in Prince Albert coats, silk hats and carrying decorated umbrellas, led by one of the jazziest bands in the South, the Excelsior Band, of Norfolk, Va. Captain Reynolds, of the Marching Club, received hundreds of congratulations along the line of march. The Chanticleer Social Club of Washington were the honored guests at the grand ball at the 71st Regimeent Armory. In the box reserved for the Leech Club of New York City were Wm. A. Brown, Edw. Hansborow, H. L. Lyles and your humble servant, representing the Chanticleers. SEND DELEGATES. The National Race Congress invites you to send delegates from your lodge, society, association, club, council, league, fraternity, church or auxiliary, of a church to voice your views on matters that come before our congress. Our program will be exceptional, visitors numerous and our work progressive. CAPT. N. B. MARSHALL IN THE CITY. The Washington Conservatory of Music announces its opening Saturday, September 25, at which time the board of management and faculty will tender an informal reception to Mrs. Harriet Gibbs Marshall, president, and Capt. N. B. Marshall, New York attorney. The Captain is making his first visit to his home town after his brilliant career overseas, resulting in seven months in the hospital. Mrs. Addie Hunton, trustee of the conservatory, whose record overseas is also well known, will be present. Reception 8 to 9 p. m. All friends are cordially invited. Wilmington, Del., September 15. Before Justice of the Peace L. J. Broman, on Wednesday, September 15, Colonel Robert Gould Shaw, of Camp No. 3, Sons of Veterans, sustained its credit and honor by obtaining a favorable decision in a law suit brought by Charles H. Bowser, a member of the camp, who alleged in his complaint that he had been sick four weeks, during which time he claimed he was entitled to $5 per week, covering the period of four weekly certificates, not for illness which prevented Mr. Bowser from following his usual occupation as a barber, but, for bronchial trouble, during the course of which he changed his occupation to that of a companion to a gentleman in the country, receiving compensation for his services. The justice's court was crowded with persons of note to witness the proceedings, as the camp had summoned Mr. Elwood G. Hubert, an attorney and counselor at law, from Washington, D. C., who also is a member of this camp, for the purpose of representing it during the proceedings, as he is official counsel for Shaw Camp. The testimony presented surprisingly took those present and the court by storm. The justice was shown that the relief committee, after receiving the first doctor's certificate, endeavored to get in touch with Mr. Bowser at his home on East Twelfth street, Marshalltown, Del., at the Industrial Home there and at Greenville, Del. That after tracing him thus far the committee was unable to get in touch with or visit him, as no proper address could be, obtained either from him or his wife, and consequently the relief committee was unable to see or ascertain from personal knowledge the nature of Mr. Bowser's illness, as it was not stated on his certificates, except the last, what his trouble was The camp learned through the relief committee that Mr. Bowser was working and receiving a salary, but had no means of proving the same by any of the committee. Through the shrewd manner in which Mr. Hubert cross-examined Mr. Bowser, however, it was admitted that he had received compensation as companion to a gentleman about a mile and a half from Greeneville, Del. This, Mr. Bowser contended, the camp had nothing to do with so long as he was not following his usual occupation as barber; but the camp contended through its counsel that as Mr. Bowser was advised by his physician that the barber business was injurious to his health, consequently he had to work at something and had changed his occupation. This view was shared by Justice Broman after a short argument by Attorney Hubert after Mr. John L. Hubert gave expert testimony as to the construction of the by-laws of the camp in relation to the drawing of sick benefits. The justice rendered judgment in favor of the defendant, Shaw Camp, thereby sustaining its credit and honor after the case was so ably presented by Attorney Hubert. Mr. Bowser paid all costs. Rev: B. T. Moore, D. D., and several white gentlemen were among those present to get first-hand information of the proceeding and to hear the first case in the State of Delaware in which a colored attorney was counsel. Democrats Cry "Stop, Thief!" While Making Away With Votes They Are Not Entitled To—"New Slavery of the Old South," by George B. Lockwood, Declares that Poor Whites of South Are Politically Enslaved by Disfranchisement, Just as Poor Whites Were Industrially Enslaved During Slavery Days. The hue and cry that Governor Cox and his colleague have been raising throughout the country about the Senate oligarchy has ceased suddenly. The Republicans have completely refuted their statement concerning the alleged control of the Republican party and have shown in every election, primary and otherwise, held up to date that it is the masses of the people now in control of the situation. A greater popular uprising has never been staged in the political history of the country than that which took place in Maine on last Tuesday. When Woodrow Wilson, Governor Cox and all of the Dirigo State minions were snowed under by a vote of two to one by the Republican candidates there, it was evident that even the Far North had awakened to the peril which the Southern administration is holding over the nation. Public-spirited citizens of Maine have begun to ask questions as to why the South should longer dominate America by her fraudulent election and her consequently fraudulent electoral votes. George A. Lutz, of Old Town, Me., writing to the editor of the National Republican in the issue of September 11, says: "As one who is greatly interested in all that pertains to the welfare of our great country and a reader of your invaluable paper, I come to you for knowledge. I know that in some way the Demoerats control the so-called 'Solid South'; that they 'count out' votes that don't 'go along' with theirs. But will you please tell me how they do it? Thanking you for any information you may give me, I am "Yours very truly, (Signed) "George A. Lutz. "16 Willow Street, "Old Town, Me." This is only one of numberless communications that have been reaching Republican headquarters, asking the powers that be to do something to stop the wholesale election frauds of Dixie. Answers such as the following have stopped Cox's cry about "Senate oligarchy." Editor Lockwood shows herewith that disfranchisement is not only responsible for the administration, but that it disfranchises more white voters in the South than it does black. The following startling statements in answer to Mr. Lutz carry their own meaning. The Republican speaks as follows: "The National Republican has printed many columns of matter setting forth the methods by which the 'mock' has been put in democracy by the Democratic oligarchy in the Solid South. However, a brief review of these facts may not be out of place, in view of the hypocritical outcry that is now being set up by Governor Cox and other Democratic leaders about 'unfair methods,' 'coercion' and 'corruption' in national politics. "There is not a State in the Union where Republicans have control of government, or where they are sufficiently numerous to prevent Democratic leaders from forcing their policies, unmodified, upon the people, where free, fair elections do not exist. There is not a State in the Union where Democratic policies have undisputed sway where free, fair elections are possible under the laws and practices existing. "For many years elections were controlled in the Southern States by open displays of force, ballot-box stuffing and fraudulent counting of ballots. Senator Ben Tillman, of South Carolina, boasted of these methods in the United States. He declared that his fellow Democrats did not hesitate to commit murder, if necessary, in order to control elections. Such practices were general throughout the States of the Solid South. "The effect of the system now in operation is to exclude from the polls many more white voters than black. The pretense is made that the system is intended to prevent 'Negro domination,' but it is used to exclude from the polls a much larger number of white men than black, taking the Solid South as a whole. In Virginia, for instance, it disfranchises 100,000 more white men than black. This means men qualified to vote, of which there are 150,000 in Virginia out of a total of two and a third millions. Only 50,000 voted in that State, as a matter of fact, the last time Virginia elected a United States Senator. Five-sixths of the men conscripted in Virginia to fight to 'save the world' for democracy, had no more voice in the affairs of the government than the French had in the government of Germany." COLORED REPRESENTATION IN V. F. W. PARADE By Daniel W. Chase. Much credit is to be given for the magnificent showing made by the company of 100 men, with a band of fifty musicians, representing a colored post, in the parade given by the Veterans of Foreign Wars, in its annual encampment held in this city. This delegation came from Harrisburg, Pa., and was the only colored unit in the parade. Notwithstanding the fact that there are numbers of colored men in Washington, who, by virtue of having served on foreign soil, are eligible to membership in the organization, there is no colored post here affiliated with the Veterans. Hence, usual social courtesies that should have been extended to the delegation from Harrisburg were extended by Columbia Lodge, No. 85, B. P. O. E. Columbia Lodge is thanked by the citizens of Washington for thus paying a token of respect to the visitors. The Harrisburg delegation is clean-cut in every particular, and was wildly cheered along the line of march, because of their dignified, manly bearing and their military discipline. It is needless to say that the music furnished by the band was of the best, for did not the small boys who followed it say, "Gee!

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.

It is to be hoped that the showing made by this delegation will be an inspiration to local Veterans to put life into a post here. Among the distinguished visitors may be mentioned Captain Frank Stewart, a prominent lawyer, of Pittsburgh, who was a delegate. While here Captain Stewart stayed at the Whitelaw Hotel, where he received much attention. A committee of the National Memorial Association, Judge Robert H. Terrell, Ferdinand D. Lee and James W. H.

Administration Furthers Its Own Aims — Senator Harding Repeats Charges Printed in The Bee—Democrats Explain. "Hell, in Haiti" was the subject of an editorial in The Bee of September 4. Calling attention to American political and economic abuses in that republic, we demanded an explanation of the Department of State and expressions from Candidates Harding and Cox. In the following issue of September 11, we printed an extract from a report of James Weldon Johnson to the N. A. A. C. P., touching the terrible conditions in Haiti resulting from the seizure of that country by 3,000 United States Marines and by a financial agent of the United States Government, who is said also to be the agent and tool of the powerful American financial group headed by the National City Bank of New York. The expose in The Bee has been followed by some interesting developments. Prior to that time the American daily press, much of it controlled by the powerful financial interests mentioned, had been silent about the doings in Haiti. Several articles by Mr. Johnson had appeared in The Nation and The Crisis, New York magazines, but those articles failed to arouse any general public attention. Following The Bee's demand and statement of alleged facts, Candidate Harding has expressed himself strongly in condemnation of the Democratic doings in Haiti. Almost simultaneously it has leaked out that the United States Government was sending to Haiti on secret missions two high officials, Admiral Knapp, of the Navy, and General Lejeune, of the Marine Corps. The natural presumption is that the sending of these high officers had some connection with the exposure aided by The Bee. The Washington Post of September 19 and the Washington Herald of September 20, both prominent white dailies, printed lengthy articles bearing on the subject, including some of the charges concerning the enslavement of Haiti and the financial manipulations there of the National City Bank, but they say nothing about the alleged slaughter there by United States Marines of 3,000 natives. An amusing aspect of the situation is that Mr. Franklin Roosevelt, Democratic candidate for Vice-President, late Assistant Secretary of the Navy, who recently boasted in public speeches that he personally wrote a new constitution that was forced on Haiti, now frantically makes pub- liic denial of his part in the political, military and financial events in Haiti now attracting such unsavory notoriety. The latest development at this writing is that a committee of prominent Haitian officials has arrived in Washington for the purpose of taking up Haitian conditions with our Department of State. The Bee charged that up to September 11 the American daily press had been silent about the events taking place in Haiti during the last several years. One reason for this, it is admitted, has been that the Americans in Haiti have maintained a strict censorship of cable dispatches from that country. The article in the Washington Post consists mainly of explanations of the Secretary of the Navy and the Secretary of War. Following is an extract of so much thereof as relates to actual conditions: "It is charged in a number of instances that the natives of Haiti have been held in virtual slavery. "The 'courvee system' has been described in various periodicals published in the United States as being one of involuntary servitude. A powerful New York financial institution has been charged with being partly responsible for this degradation of thousands of natives of Haiti. "Bonds Bought Cheap. "The Haitian republic bonds are considered to be almost worthless because of the unrest in the island, and it has been charged that American financial institutions have bought up these securities, paying the native owners of them an absurd sum, and that these securities will be later on defoated with an immense profit to the American financial interests charged with maintaining an improper influence in Haitian affairs. "There have floated back to the United States strange stories of killings of natives who have been 'mistaken for brigands.' "These stories, most of which have been printed and have been of common knowledge for months, are believed in Washington to have inspired Senator Harding to make reference to the retention of 3,000 American Marines in Haiti, in his speech in Minneapolis last week. "Senator Harding again referred to the Haitian occupation in an address at Marion on Friday, when he charged that Haiti is 'held by the United States to secure the League of Nations vote.' Assistant Secretary Franklin D. Roosevelt told newspaper correspondents in Hartford, Conn., Friday evening that he had telegraphed to Senator Harding, upon learning of this charge, as follows: "Regret to see in today's speech you have put into my mouth an alleged statement about the votes in the League of Nations of Haiti and San Domingo, which I had already publicly denied making and which denial was printed in all the leading newspapers. I can not believe you did this intentionally." "Whether General Smedley O. Butler will return to Washington with General Lejeune was not stated by Secretary Daniels yesterday. General Butler was in charge of the Marines in Haiti during the period which, it has been said, thousands of natives of the republic were coerced into the service of road building and other involuntary labor. "Little News Sifts Through. "That there is a strict, almost impregnable system of censorship in Haiti is a matter of common knowledge, and virtually the only source of news from Haiti has been through the State Department or the Secretary of the Navy in Washington. The attitude of the Marine Corps headquarters has been simply that it acted as a police force for the State Department and held itself accountable to the State Department through the Secretary of the Navy. "Greatest secrecy surrounded the departure of General Lejeune and his party for Haiti, but the result of the present investigation; Secretary Daniels said yesterday, will be made public." "The reports of General Barnett and General Lejeune, the first covering the period up to June 30, 1920, and the second covering the period since that date and present conditions, will be given to the American public soon after General Lejeune's return from Haiti," he said." Following is the text of the article in the Herald of September 20: "Not only have Americans seized control of practically all the resources of Haiti, according to protests now being laid before the Government by indignant officials from that island, but they have held up the salaries of the President of the republic, all the secretaries, state counselor, and even that of the palace interpreter. "The committee from Haiti now in Washington is headed by Chief Justice Bonamy of the Haitian courts and M. Praedi, an international law- ONE OF OUR LEADING NEGRO ENTERPRISES OF THE WORLD PLANT OF THE E. A. WELTERS TOOTH POWDER CO., INC. TO BE ERECTED IN BALTIMORE, MD. THE E. A. WELTERS TOOTH POWDER COMPANY. Incorporated five years ago with a capitalization of $5,000 with stock sold at $10.00 per share, is now a corporation capitalized at $100,000.00 with NO SHARES FOK SALE AT ANY PRICE, yet it is understood that a small number of shares have been donated by some of the larger stockholders for certain Dentists and Druggists whose names have already been listed, and will be called on personally in the near future by the President of the Company. The Dentists and Druggists who will be solicited were selected by the Directors of the Company because of their progressiveness and the great advertising value that their connection will mean in the distribution of this exceptional dentifrice to the race throughout the United States. The demand for the Welters' Tooth Powder has grown so tremendously during the past six months, since advertising in the Chicago Defender, that their manufacturing facilities are entirely too limited, and has forced the management to make immediate arrangements for their larger plant, to be erected in Baltimore, to properly care for the increased business. Not only in the United States has the demand greatly increased, but in England, France, Cuba, British Indies, and other foreign points. yer noted in Haiti. It was accompanied to the State Department by Charles Moravi, the Haitian Minister. "Americans Protest. "A committee of Americans with interests in Haiti is also in Washington making protests. It includes Edgar Elliott, president of the Haitian-American Corporation, which operates a railroad and sugar plantation; M. R. Harris, of the American Foreign Bank of New York, with a branch in Port Au Prince; W. E. Bleo, vice-president and general manager of the electric company which lights Port Au Prince, and Harry Berlin, who has commercial interests in that city. "Many U. S. Interests Hurt.. "As Haiti is a member of the LatinAmerican Union, the situation is said to have affected American interests throughout South and Central America. "Shortly after the United States assumed control in Haiti the National City Bank of New York established a branch in Port Au Prince and obtained control of the National Bank of Haiti, it is said. Colonel John McIlhenny, American financial adviser to the Haitian Government, immediately made it the depository for all customs duties. "As very little money is collected from taxes in Haiti, the National City Bank soon became the sole financial arbiter of the republic, it is said. Not only was it able to control all loans to commercial and agricultural interests, but even those of the Government as well. No payments of any description can be made without consent of the American adviser, and then only through the National City Bank. "Controls Exchange Rates. "The bank also exercises absolute control over rates of exchange, and the charge is made that through the customs service it maintains the closest scrutiny over all imports, promptly putting the screws on all concerns that did not deal through its connections in New York. "Following is the protest to the American Minister: "Port au Prince, August 5, 1920. "Mr. A. Bailly-Blanchard, "American Minister: "I have the honor to inform your excellency that the offices of the financial adviser and of the receiver-general have not yet delivered the checks for the July salaries of His Excellency the President of the republic, of the secretaries, state councillors and palace interpreter, although all other officials were paid on July 30. "I call the attention of your excellency to this new attitude of the financial adviser, a Haitian official, to the President of the republic and the other members of the Government, an attitude which is an insult to the entire nation. "On August 6 the Haitian Minister of Foreign Affairs wrote a second letter to the American Minister, in which he said: "The payment of these salaries has been suspended by order of the American Minister until further orders are received from him. "My Government protests against this act of violence, which is an attack upon the dignity of the people and Government of Haiti." "Secretary Daniels recently sent General John A. Lejeune, Marine Corps commandant, to the island for investigation of 'slavery' charges." LET ME HELP YOU If you are anxious to improve your condition in life, let me help you.

A SOCIAL AXIOM. ° aa We may set it down’as a social axiom that-one nation oF race docs not desire another nation or race to equal it. in business effi- ciency—wealth. It -is almost equally axiomatic that that same nation or race does not view as a-menace or with envy the mental progress or refinement of. its’ business, rival. * In this country it is.an error to assume that generally the whites »will ever grow alarmed or jealous over the mental development or personal graces of the colored people:...On the contrary, the whites are doing. much. to promote these... But if we observe closely, we shall find. that our white friend is not disposed to do much to put’ his colored neighbor on an economic equality with himself. . When the whites give’ liberally to: schools like Tuskegee and Hampton, it is not with the intention to’ make colored Napoleons of finance possible or probable. The idea is to make intelligent labor. Intelligent’ labor is more profitable for all whites concerned. . It is more worth exploiting. Just'as free labor is more worth exploiting than slave labor. so- is’ intelligent: free labor more worth exploiting than ignorant free labor: 2 5 : i But when it comes to the rewards of intelligent colored labor the _ desire for equality’ ceases: _ Here the white man’ practices systematic discrimination, and this is exploitation. 3 me We see this exploitation on every hand—in the pay of ‘domestic servants, common laborers, skilled mechanics, Government employ- ees. A very. noteworthy illustration was seen in, the relative pay and accommodations accorded -to white and colored laborers em- ployed in the construction of the Panama Canal. The pay of the one lass ‘amounted to about double that of the other.

Distinguished Host Has as. Guests Alderman Perry and Others—Wit and Humor Displayed at a Well-Prepared Function. The Whitelaw Hotel was the scene of a brilliant gathering of representative citizens on Saturday evening, September 18, the occasion being a dinner given by Lawyer Thos. L. Jones in honor of his guest, Mr. A. P. Perry, ex-alderman of. Chicago and one of the leaders of the race. The dinner was served in a private dining room at 6 o'clock. The table was beautifully decorated with ferns and roses. Among those present were: Editor W. Calvin Chase, Jr., Judge R. H. Terrell, Rev. J. R. L. Diggs, pastor of Trinity Baptist Church, Baltimore, Md.; Lawyers Harry L. Tignor, L. M. King and E. H. Hubert, Mr. Ferdinand D. Lee, Mr. J. H. Howard, deputy United States Marshal, Mr. Freeman, Mr. Allen F. Jackson and others. Lawyer Thos. L. Jones; after presenting his guests, acted as toastmaster. The menu consisted of: Soup, cream of tomato, en tasse, an croutons; fried spring chicken; green peas en patties; potato roszzetta; tomato salad Polonaise; ice cream; assorted cakes; demi-tasse. After partaking of the menu the oratorical tornadoes were released, and wit and humor flowed like a river of love as the speakers one by one warmed up to their subjects. Many complimentary things were said of Mr. Perry, the guest of the evening, in answer to which Mr. Perry said: "Gentlemen: I am glad to meet and greet you on this most interesting occasion. I am from Chicago, the great city of the West, where our people are maintaining themselves and claiming every right guaranteed to them under the Constitution of our country, and I know you are doing the same here in this great city of Washington, where so much intelligence is reflected. I thank you for this generous greeting and assure you that this occasion will ever be memorable. Mr. Host, I thank you." This was a great occasion, and Attorney Jones was highly complimented, as he always carries out events like the foregoing in Chesterfieldian style. Aftermath. Judge is always the life of every event. He is eloquent and logical. The host is never ostentatious. He is dignified and unassuming. James H. Howard knows when to talk and how to talk.

With the Maine majority reaching the seventy thousand mark, the Republican party has received the first reliable indication of the sentiment of the country. Notwithstanding the slanderous remarks of Governor Cox and his charges of "efforts to buy the Presidency," the people down in Maine voted solidly for the Republican candidates and thereby repudiated the Wilson administration, the Wilson League of Nations and Mr. Cox, the chief slanderer against the Republican party. Be it said to the lasting credit of the women, they entered politics in Maine with an eye single to the benefit they hoped to derive throughout the country and registered their solid vote with the Republican party, predictions to the contrary notwithstanding. The results in Maine are fair and conclusive because the people of Maine had heard all that can be heard on the League of Nations. Wilson extravagance and the $15,000,000 fund talked of by Governor Cox. From the State of Maine has gone out throughout the rest of the States of the Union a new inspiration for the Republican workers, and instead of a let-up there is to be seen a renewed vigor and added enthusiasm among all of the Republican workers throughout the Union. Using the language of Chairman Hays, the mothers of America have decided to say when their sons shall be sent again to foreign countries to fight for foreign countries. By registering with the Republican party they have repudiated the Wilson League of Nations and have decided that this country shall take its stand first, for its own interest, and, second, for the united interests of all the world, and that without violating moral obligations or established international laws. Maine Sounds Death Knell to Democrats. The vote of the women in the State of Maine is a keen disappointment to the Democrats, who have asserted all along that the women of the country would vote with the Democratic party. It is now very evident that they remember the slogan of Mr. Wilson when he was parading the country, telling the mothers that it was he who was keeping their sons out of war. They are now reminding Mr. Wilson that he did not only not keep their sons out of war, but that he put their sons in a war, the declaration of which was withheld by him for political purposes only until after his election was assured. This rebuke, coming now from the mothers of the country, is but an indication of how completely the women of this country intend to rebuke the Democratic party for its maladministration, extravagance in taxation, extravagance in human lives, to say nothing of its meaningless volumes of words given both to this country in the form of speeches and to other countries in the form of notes. The solemn referendum called for by Mr. Wilson has been granted him in Maine, and it remains for the other States to comply with his wishes as substantially as did Maine and let the autocratic ruler know what it means to call for a solemn referendum to the American people once they have been properly informed of the issues referred. The results in Maine have inspired the colored women in this country as nothing else could, for they plainly see that their white sisters are backing the party that gave suffrage to the black man of this country and is destined to protect the suffrage recently given to the black women of this country. The picture of Negro women advancing to the polls in Northern States casting a ballot for the eradication of the Solid South from Washington may be just a little discomforting to the. Democrats who had planned to give the ballot to the white women of the South but to withhold it from the colored women under the same unlawful and vicious practices used to disfranchise the black male voters below the Mason and Dixon line. Maine has gone Republican, and the women are entitled to the glory. The watchword now among the women is to carry the glad tidings from Maine to California by way of the Great Lakes and the Rocky Mountains. Maine has sounded the death knell to the Democrats. NEWS NOTES OF THE WEEK. James Carter, colored, aged 17 years, was found alongside the station platform at Ingleside Terrace, Va., a short distance from this city, in a dying condition. He was put on an incoming train by two men and carried to the Georgetown University Hospital, where physicians declared that his skull had been fractured by a blow from a blunt instru Beatrice Baker, a little 5-year-old colored girl, ran into an automobile truck at Sixth and L streets and was so badly injured that she died while being carried to Emergency Hospital. The driver of the truck, a young colored man by the name of Hayes Jackson, was arrested pending the result of an investigation. Two near-beer establishments, commonly termed "first cousins of the barroom," were raided and their keepers, two young colored women, were placed under arrest and held under $1,000 bond each, charged with violating the national prohibition law. The police allege that a dozen or more quarts of liquor were found in each establishment. Mrs. Julia Mason Layton and Mrs. Julia West Hamilton, both prominently identified with welfare work, and both nationally known because of their activities, left the city for Indianapolis, Ind., to be in attendance at the annual encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic. They are members and delegates of the Women's Relief Corps. The local commander is John P. Quander. The officers of the National Memorial Association are doubly sure of bringing the matter of the erection of a memorial building in this city to the attention of every gathering in the neighborhood of this city. With that end in view Ferdinand D. Lee and James W. H. Howard attended the emancipation celebration at Purcellville, Va., which celebration was held under the auspices of the Loudoun County Emancipation Association. Timely and spicy addresses were made by both of these officers, urging the people to pledge their support to the movement. THE PIKER. Did you ever see a fellow Prone to boast and bellow, With bean a little mellow, With streak distinctly yellow? He's a piker. Did you ever know a codger Who, every time he nods you, For a small loan frogs you— A clever, witful dodger? He's a piker. Did you ever see a fly sport. With habits like a spry shoat, Now with the current float, Now wallow in the moat? He's a piker. Did you ever see a dandy Going with a Mandy, But stingy as a Sandy, And never buys her candy? He's a piker. Did you ever hear a gusher, A glib pencil-pusher, A veritable musher, A welching four-flusher? He's a piker. Ever see a race-adjuster Call his tribe to muster, Arm each husky buster With a feather duster? Ever see a little Cox (Wearing big white sox) Try to throw big rocks At a "boodle box" And lay on Hard. knocks— Then get wobbly in his hocks? He's a piker. NEW BUSINESS SECTION. The locality near the intersection of Florida, New Jersey and Rhode Island avenues is gradually being transformed from a residential to a colored business quarter. The three avenues mentioned have at this point been designated by the District Government, as commercial streets. This means that the U street business thoroughfare will extend from Seventh street for an indefinite distance eastward. Both of the street car systems serve this section. There are lines running direct to the Capitol, the Navy Yard, Rock Creek bridge, the wharves and the downtown business section. The signs indicate that in the near future all that part of Florida avenue from Seventh street to Third will be taken up by stores, shops and professional buildings. So far these business enterprises are almost equally divided between colored and white. The intersection of the three avenues mentioned is a crossroads where thousands pass daily. It is, therefore, not surprising that this part of Florida avenue now promises to be an exclusively business street. Some predict that the fulfilment of the hope of the colored people for some measure of business independence and autonomy in Washington is to find its first signal beginning along U street and its extension eastward into Florida avenue. This immediate section is surrounded by a colored population of at least 35,000. This means that here the colored Progressive Investment Association, Inc.

The colored people already own the most of the property on these streets from Fourteenth street to Third. The example here started should extend to other sections of the city. It is only a question of a short time when this long street will be the Broadway and Cheapside of colored Washington. Among the very recent colored developments near the intersection of the three avenues mentioned are a fashionable cafe, a cooperative grocery store, a flower parlor, two automobile supply stores, an office building, a millinery shop and a real estate office. A building on Florida avenue at the head of New Jersey avenue is now being remodeled and equipped with the latest modern conveniences, and will be used for stores and offices. This is near Butcher's Drug Store, familiar to many who are accustomed to buy The Bee there. WOMEN'S REPUBLICAN LEAGUE OF THE D. C. Though the women of the District of Columbia are suffering political slavery as well as the men, yet they are thoroughly organized and functioning to do their bit. The officers of the Women's Republican League are as follows: M. C. Terrell, president; J. M. Layton, first vice-president; J. West Hamilton, second vice-president; D. E.

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. 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. 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: To get to polls 400,000 indifferent Republican regulars, at $5____ $2,000,000 To keep from polls 200,000 non-partisans in North, at $5____ 1,000,000 To buy 200,000 Democratic regulars in North, at $10____ 2,000,000 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 up 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.
