Prejudice in Switzerland PROF. J. E. HAWKINS DEFENDS RECORD OF COLORED TROOPS VOL. XLI. NO. 20 Prej PROF. J. E. HAWK CORD OF COL A German Representative From Berlin Attacks Record of Colored Troops in World War—Prof. J. R. Hawkins Defends Colored Soldiers' Records, Puts the German to Shame and Wins the Commendation of Representatives of Twenty-five Different Nationalities. The Geneva Journal of August 13, 1920 (Geneva, Switzerland), has a very interesting account of the meeting held there for the proposed World Ecumenical Conference of all the Christian Religions of the World, as follows: "Tuesday evening's session, at which time was taken up the program for the proposed Ecumenical Conference, was featured by one stirring incident; it was the energetic protest of a mulatto, Mr. John R. Hawkins, doctor of laws from America, representing the African Methodist Episcopal Church and a member of the Federal Council. "He spoke with great force and telling effect against the remarks made by Pastor Schrieber, of Berlin, who took occasion to attack the conduct of the colored troops in the Rhine provinces, at the afternoon session. "Mr. Hawkins spoke as follows: "Mr. Chairman: I regard it as a splendid tribute to the spirit of Christian cooperation that so many representatives of different nationalities have gathered here in Switzerland to participate in this the first meeting for a proposed Ecumenical World Conference of Christian churches. In the presence of so many distinguished churchmen and representatives of international fame, I feel somewhat diffident to attempt any expression, but I find myself unable to suppress the emotions of my soul now craving utterance. If ever there was occasion for a strong deliverance or pronouncement on the part of the churches to its work and mission as an institution of power and direction, that time is now; and we should lose no time in marshaling all our available resources in men and measures that can be used in carrying out the purposes of this conference. "Figuratively speaking, the world has been torn asunder by opposing forces marshaled in battle array in the bloodiest and most disastrous war of all times, and the call of the hour is for some strong power to bring all the nations of the world back to their rightful position; to lift them up and out of the pit of ruin into which they have been cast and set them going along the right way, with their faces again set towards the goal of lofty and holy achievements. "In this work, the church will find its mission and its opportunity, provided the spirit of Christ is given full sway in our hearts and followed as our only directing agency. There was reason to believe that we were approaching this happy state and would be found touching and agreeing on one universal idea and program until we heard the discordant note that fell from the lips of the gentleman from Berlin who spoke this afternoon as a representative of the German delegation. "It was most unfortunate that in his statement of reasons as to why there was not a manifestation of a h "The Fo American ADMISSION: Box The Washington Bee more brotherly feeling between them and the French brethren, he should take occasion to drag into this place for high and lofty sentiments only the slime and venom of the monster, color prejudice. This he did in his protest against the assignment of colored troops to the German territory in the Rhine provinces and his attack on the conduct and charge against those troops as having attacked their women. "It is not strange to hear of acts of destruction, dastardly deeds and crimes committed by soldiers drunk with the feeling of resentment and the passions of bloody battles; they have followed in the wake of all wars and have not been confined to any one nation or any one race, and in this case there is no reason for making this invidious distinction and holding up the colored troops alone as guilty of such atrocities. "I shall not allow myself to be guilty of the same thing of which I now complain; but suffice it to say that the conduct of the colored troops as to their behavior will compare most favorably with that of the German soldiers whom the gentleman from Berlin has the honor to represent." "At this point a white minister from Nashville, Tenn., interrupted Mr. Hawkins to remark that he thought it well to remind Mr. Hawkins that the German representative did not refer to the colored troops from America, to which Mr. Hawkins replied: "That may be true, as I understand; but I cannot accept of the explanation from the gentleman from Tennessee as justifying the remarks of the German representative. "It is evident that he meant to make a direct thrust at the colored troops, and that I regard as unnecessary, untimely and unjustifiable, and very poor taste. "I would feel ashamed of myself and unworthy to represent the colored people did I not here and now utter a word of solemn protest against any attempt to besmirch the splendid record of the colored troops in the late World War, whether they came from the Zululand in South Africa, or Senegambia, or Morocco, or from my own country, the United States of America. None have a more glorious record and none will pass to posterity a richer legacy than those dusky sons of Ham who came, who conquered, who fought, bled and died by the sons of other sons of other sires in meeting the challenge which the Germans chose to throw down to the other nations of the world. "They came as among the bravest of the brave and the noblest of the noble, and I will not be silent while their record is attacked. Pardon the personal reference: My own and only son was among those daring brave black boys who were charging in the front lines on that eventful morning when the armistice was signed and the bugle sounded to cease firing, and I am proud of his record. My youngest brother, my mother's baby, was among those who gave up their lives on the battle field, and his body now rests in the cemetery yonder at Toul, France. This was a mother's contribution, and I am not ashed of his record. And so with thousands WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY. OCTOBER 9, 1920 of other black mothers and black fathers for whom I speak. No; we are not afraid or ashamed to speak for them. "None came more cheerfully, none fought more bravely and none died more heroically; and their bravery, their loyalty and their conduct in battle, even under the most trying circumstances, will forever stand out on the brightest pages of history as among the highest contributions to the cause of democracy and human liberty." DEANWOOD SCHOOL A DEATH TOWER Parents Withdraw Children From the Main Building at Deanwood. Teachers Suffer Exposure in Line of Duty—Floods Invade the School Building During Recent Storm. Portables May Help Solve Present Muddle. As a befitting disapproval of the way in which the municipal authorities sought to enlarge the public school at Deanwood, D. C., the parents in that locality withdrew their children in a bulk Wednesday of last week after every means of protest had been reasonably exhausted. Such action was contemplated several days, but the culmination came when a mass meeting was held Tuesday in the school building and a resolution unanimously passed pledging the withdrawal of all children the following morning. To witness the erection of a four-room wooden structure on top of a brick building, not fireproof, children attending and classes going full blast, is very unusual, calls for Roman-like judgment, and assumes an attitude not well-bred, self-respecting community will tolerate. Tris is the condition confronting those having children in the Deanwood School and the cause which led the parents to keep their children home and refuse to permit them to go anywhere near the building. Despite the assurance of the school officials that the school was perfectly safe and to send the children back, the parents thought otherwise and continued the boycott. Strong-hints went the rounds that the school authorities were going to use some very drastic means to coerce the parents into submission and that jail sentences awaited those who had children within the law and who failed to obey. To what extent this was carried out has not been learned, but suffice to say the controversy at this writing is bordering on arbitration, and is likely to be settled in a manner satisfactory to all parties concerned. From close investigation, there seems to be good grounds for protest. Congress at the last session appropriated $190,000 to build a modern fourroom annex to the Deanwood School. The District Commissioners, evidently thinking this too much, working matters to suit themselves, slipped in a $48,000 wooden structure, and nailed that on top of the main building, taking no precaution against fire and caring nothing for the lives of the children attending classes during progress of construction. There have been hardships encountered since the opening. Last week during a downpour of rain teachers had to use umbrellas in the building while going about their duties, and the kindergarten was so badly flooded that several brooms were kept busy trying to check the deluge of water coming in from the outside. The building is exposed, there being large gaps in the roof and no windows to afford an inside protection. This is the death tower into which the parents of Deanwood object to send their children; and while a compromising decision may be reached in shifting classes to the portables, dotting the school grounds like so many army kitchens, it seems a foregone conclusion the main building will not be used again for classroom purposes until the proper renovations are completed bringing the school up to the required specifications. Argues a Great Railroad Case Before That Tribunal. W. L. Houston, attorney at law of this city, appeared before the Interstate Commerce Commission on last Friday and argued the case for the Order of Railroad Station Agents, an organization of white railrod officils, with members distributed over the entire United States. Mr. Houston was retained to represent the organization last spring after he had won a signal victory before the commission for the colored railway employees, for whom he is attorney. His preparation and conduct of the case for the Railroad Station Agents was a matter of great satisfaction to the officials of that organization, who selected him to represent them because of his ability as a lawyer. The case is one of great importance to the membership, as upon the outcome depends the classification of station agents and their right to have their disputes concerning grievances, rules, working conditions, wages or salaries heard by the Railroad Labor Board. It is a notable fact that Mr. Houston is the only colored attorney who has ever appeared and argued a case before the Interstate Commerce Commission. His first case before the commission involved the rights of more than one hundred thousand colored railway employees, whose organizations are his clients, and in this case he secured a favorable decision. The case in which he appeared last Friday for his white clients has not yet been decided by the commission. Ots finding is awaited with great anxiety by the agents and the railroads. MRS. M. ADAMS PENSIONED. Mrs. Maria Adams, who for forty years held an important position in the White Hotel, White Sulphur Springs, W. Va., was congratulated by President Geo. Stevens, of the hotel company, who stated that from now on, for her faithful service and clear record she would receive a yearly pension for the rest of her days. As long as she wishes to remain, regardless of her pension, the position is hers. She i the first employee of the company to be pensioned. Mrs. Adams is well known here as a member of the Nineteenth street church.

Though the woman suffrage amendment is now part of the Constitution, and women of the Republic are on a political equality with men, there are two sections of the country where women will not exercise the privileges guaranteed under the Nineteenth Amendment. In the Southern States the Negro women will not be allowed to vote, no more so than the Negro men. In the District of Columbia, the National Capital, which is completely disfranchised, neither men nor women can vote, even for municipal officials. It is a fact taken for granted in the sixteen Southern States that Negro women, despite ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment, cannot use the newly won ballot. In the South the Negro man is not allowed to vote—a fact well known to every Southerner and to all Northern people who are conversant with political conditions throughout the country. Since the end of reconstruction days the whites have politically dominated the sixteen Southern States. The corner stone of this domination has been disfranchisement of the Negro. Were this not so and the Negro allowed to vote on an equality with the whites in this section, there would be no more "Solid South." Instead, most of the Southern States would be Republican, for the Negro, when he does vote, is always found in the Republican column. It could not be otherwise, as it was the Republican party, under the immortal Lincoln, that abolished slavery. The Democratic party has disfranchised the Negro in the South. During the campaign to pass the Nineteenth Amendment through Congress, Southern Senators and Representatives served notice on suffrage advocates that if the amendment was ratified the South proposed to nullify it as far as the Negro women were concerned. In the final line-up when the Nineteenth Amendment was passed by Congress, it was the Southern Senators and Representatives who voted against it to the last roll call. A Democratic Congress, under the leadership of President Wilson, refused to pass the amendment. It was not until the Republicans gained control of the House and Senate that the amendment was passed. Twenty-nine Republican States voted to ratify the Nineteenth Amendment and only seven Democratic States. Seven Democratic States refused to ratify. The Republicans can well claim the credit for ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment. Practically all the opposition to woman suffrage came from the Bourbon South. In the South the Negro is now disfranchised by various devices which effectively destroy his political rights as an American citizen under the Constitution. The "literacy test," property qualifications, the "grandfather clause," which requires the voter's father or grandfather to have/served in the Confederate Army, or plain "shotgun tactics" are resorted to by the white political bosses to keep the Negro away from the polls. These maneuvers succeed, and very few Negroes are allowed to vote in any of the Southern States. If the Negro insists on his constitutional privilege he soon "disappears," according to Henry Lincoln Johnson, National Committeeman from Georgia, himself a colored man. There are approximately 4,000,000 Negro women of voting age in the South. Under the white domination and the terrorist tactics of the Southern politicians practically all of them are disfranchised now, despite the Nineteenth Amendment. It is preposterous to suppose that if the Negro man is not allowed to vote in the South the Negro women will be given the ballot. In the Northern States, where the Negro can vote on a parity with the white man, the Negro voter in the November election will have an opportunity to avenge, in a measure, the political disfranchisement of his brothers and sisters in the South. But he can register his indignation only by voting the Republican ticket. The Bee is the leader of colored journalism in thought and sentiment.

Attorney Louis Gregory in the City. Mr. Louis G. Gregory, who has recently been engaged in extensive travels and lectures on the Bahai Movement, plans to remain in the city until the end of the year. He will soon be joined by Mrs. Gregory, who has been spending the summer in Maine. Their united efforts are in the direction of spreading the Bahai message of unity to all elements. The Bahais are now planning to hold in Washington, during the month of December, an inter-racial congress for amity between the colored and the white races. Although many such conferences are being held in various parts of the South, it is expected that this conference will be unique. Many of the speakers will be men of national and international fame, and those who take part will be expected to present broad, constructive and universal principles and bring forward remedies for the present discordant conditions. Its effect, as planned, will not be to discuss diseases but to suggest remedies. Unity and understanding are necessary to the happiness of all men, is the thought of those who are to hold this congress. Mr. Gregory is now giving his time to the preliminary work of the Congress. Every Monday evening until the end of the year he will deliver a free lecture at 2822 Georgia avenue on some phase of the Bahai teaching. The subject last Monday was "The Immortality of the Soul and Communication With Unseen Worlds." Other subjects will be "The Seven Valleys," "Bahai Proofs," "Independent Investigation of Truth," "The Oneness of Humanity," "The Unity of Religions," "Harmony Between Religion and Science," "The Book of Ighan," "The Abandonment of Prejudices," "The House of Justice," "Universal Peace," "A Universal Language," "The Power of the Holy Spirit." All Bahai lectures are free, and the public is welcome. LET ME HELP YOU My work is see to you. Parchment prayers are a p free. I have benefited many th sands; I will benefit you, too.

Democratic Nominee Does Not Intend to Recognize Negro in Appointments—Damaging Words Are Uttered of Race. Chicago, October 6.—If there is any difference between Candidate Cox and J. Thomas Heflin in their attitude toward the struggling and aspiring colored American citizenship in this country, it is the difference that the former is subtle, underhand and effective in his practice of racial reprisals, while the latter, being from Alabama, is loud-mouthedly outspoken. Which means they may have this difference: With ends they are identical. If the comparison should go into progression, it might be charged that Cox is infinitely more dangerous than Heflin because of his influence as Governor of a State that has for upward of half a century taken forward steps to protect the colored man's citizenship. Since Cox has been Governor he has covertly and often openly fostered propaganda against the colored man and woman, permitting the exhibition of the "Birth of a Nation" and applying other insidious ways and means-of humiliation for the colored people. Although the employment of colored labor was absolutely necessary to sustain the industrial activities in Ohio during the war, he openly discouraged the migration of this labor from the South, saying in so many words that "the Southern Negro has about as much chance to thrive in Ohio as the cotton blossom has to thrive in the Yukon." Damaging propaganda and official practices against the race can be traced to Cox in such a manner as to leave no doubt that he is in full harmony with the approved methods of the South. Under Republican governors and their administrations, Ohio was famous for the recognition accorded to colored people. That State was foremost in supplying educational advantages for the race and was always out in front with inducements for its advancement. Under Cox, but one colored man is employed by the State, and he is the messenger in the Governor's office, a menial place that gives full estimate of the Democratic candidate's gauge of the worth of the colored citizen. Laws passed by the Republicans according to rights to colored people are practically dead letters under Cox. In fact, the best answer to an oft-repeated question as to whether there is a difference between the Northern Democrats and the Southern Democrats is the attitude of Cox himself. He has by some means imbibed all of the prejudice of the South and is permitting it to gain a foothold in Ohio. It is announced in Chicago, from the Democratic headquarters, that Congressman Heflin will take the stump for Cox. This is as it should be, because the difference between Heflin and Cox on the race question is just as the difference is between tweedledum and tweedledee. Heflin may be a trifle more demonstrative and melodramatic by shooting colored men who happen to rub against him on street cars, introducing bills in Congress for the repeal of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments, etc., but he has been none the less a factor in retarding the progress of the race, hor more enterprising against its rights and privileges. Colored men and women have learned not to expect anything from the mushroom growth of Southern statesmen, the qualifications of whom are bounded by their ability, to apply invective against the Negro and their ingenuity to evolve plans against his citizenship, but a Democratic Governor, such as Cox, who aspires to be President of the United States, is really a menace against the race that must be met with every honorable means of defense. DEMOCRATS GET. SURPRISE. Find Negroes Are Opposed to the League—Wilson Shuts Out Darker Races—Negroes. Show Interest in Haiti—Want to Know About Virgin Islands. The one humiliating surprise to the Democrats is their discovery that the American Negro is interested not only in lynching, segregation and race prejudice, but that he is devoting a careful study to the League of Nations as it affects the darker races, as well as to present conditions in Haiti and conditions in the Virgin Islands. The Democrats just as well understand that the Negroes are interested in a League of Nations which means a fair and free association of nations with equal opportunity for self-determination extended to all without respect to size of territory, financial influence or color. The covenant brought back in the vest pocket of Mr. Wilson does not give full and equal representation to the darker races. The present mem- bership of the league includes Haiti, India, Liberia and Cuba. There is nothing in the present covenant which guarantees to these small countries of darker peoples any opportunity to be heard in the council of the league. The Covenant of the League of Nations, in its present form, proposes to function through an assembly and a council. Article 3 provides that the assembly shall be made up of representatives of the members of the league. There is no provision as to how many representatives any member may have in the assembly. Article 4 makes provision that the council shall consist of representatives of the principal allied and associated powers, together with representatives of four other members of the league. Here again nothing is said as to who the four members shall be, but it is provided that these four members shall be selected by the assembly from time to time in its discretion. Under this provision, which Mr. Wilson evidently dictated, the little members of the league, and especially the Negro members, are forever shut out from membership in the council. Article 3 provides that the assembly may deal at its meetings with any matter within the sphere of action of the league or with any matter affecting the peace of the world. This is one of Wilson's tricks. Who is to say, except the assembly, what matter shall be considered likely to affect the peace of the world? The little Negro countries now members of the league are hopelessly in the minority, and all that is necessary for the assembly to do is to vote down any proposition any Negro member of the league may present by simply saying that the matter does not affect the peace of the world. The Negroes are against any such league, not only as citizens of the United States, but as members of a peculiar group whose interests the world over are becoming more and more common. The more one reads the Wilson covenant, the more one is convinced of the hypocrisy of the whole proposition. The Negroes have not forgotten that Woodrow Wilson was very much concerned about Armenia and was very much concerned about the Czecho-Slovaks. And remembering his concern over these little nations and his desire to see them have self-determination, they point to his opposition in Haiti as an example of his monumental hypocrisy and his innate desire to oppress black people wherever opportunity is afforded him. When Woodrow Wilson told Daniels to occupy Haiti, he gave a living example of his idea of self-determination. When the Haitians told Daniels that they wanted their own President, Daniels replied: "I am your President." When they asked for a court of their own to preside over Haitian litigation and Haitian internal problems, Daniels replied: "I am your court." And all of this done under the constitution written by Franklin D. Roosevelt, now candidate, for Vice-President on the Democratic ticket, and rammed down the throats of the Haitians with the assistance of the American Navy. Every investigation of the Haitian situation discloses to the world that the occupation of Haiti was a manufactured excuse to be used by the Democrats in enriching a few of Wilson's henchmen who could not be taken care of in and around Washington. No; the Negroes are opposed to the league because it is not a League of Nations, but an international spider-webbed puzzle designed by Great Britain, with the consent of Wilson, and accepted under protest by France, Italy and Japan. There is not a paragraph in the Covenant of the League of Nations which guarantees to the black members of the league the identical participation in the council of the league as is granted the other members of the league. What About Virgin Islands? And the interest of the Negro extends beyond the league—even beyond Haiti. It comes to us from good authority that there are vast improvements to be made in the Virgin Islands recently purchased from the Danes. There is serious objection to the treaty with the Danes which is reported to mean nothing less than economic slavery for the islanders for the next twenty years. Americanization of the islanders can make no progress whatever until a radical change in custom, administration and politics has been effected. As soon as the Republican party is returned to power, one of the very first problems to be presented for adjustment and solution will be the problem of the Virgin Islands. ELEVATOR WOMEN TO At a recent meeting the Minimum Wage Board ordered that a conference be called to recommend a minimum wage for women employed as elevator operators, maids and cleaners in office buildings, banks, theatres and similar institutions. This action was taken as a result of a wage survey made by the agents of the Minimum Wage Board during the months of April and May, 1920. It was found that of the 357 women for whom wage data was obtained, one-third received less than $7 per week. one-half less than $9 per week and nine-tenth less than $12 per week. Most of these women worked less than full time. This was particularly true of the office-building cleaners, who made up 73 per cent of the women included in this study. Of these cleaners, 37 per cent worked less than 24 hours per week and 56 per cent less, than 36 hours per week, and only 12 per cent 42 hours or over. Obviously, the short workday accounts in a measure for the low wages paid, but not to any appreciable extent. The hourly rates of pay are also low. Twenty-nine per cent of the cleaners received less than 25 cents an hour, some being paid as little as 17 cents, and 70 per cent less than 35 cents per hour. Even if these women could obtain employment elsewhere at similar rates to make up their full working day, they would still be earning less than a living wage as established/by previous conferences. Furthermore; the work must be done at hours when other people are through working. Almost half the women for whom data was obtained began work at 11 p.m. Others began in the early morning, from 5 to 5:30, and still others in the late afternoon and early evening. The rates of pay should in some measure compensate for the undesirability of the hours of work. The elevator operators and maids worked the full eight-hour day. Of the elevator operators approximately one-half received less than $12 a week, and three-fourths less than $15 a week. Two-thirds of the maids received less than $10 a week, and all less than $12 a week. Car cleaners employed by the transportation companies were included in this study, but it was found that only 2 of the 247 received less than $18 a week. The majority were rated at $21.60 a week. Therefore, these women were not included in the order for a conference. As in previous conferences, the employers and employees will be given an opportunity to select their representatives to serve on the conference. The women met for this purpose on Thursday, September 30, at 3 p. m., in the Board Room of the District Building, and the employers met on the following day at the same time and place. This is the fifth conference called by the Minimum Wage Board. Wage rates are now in effect in printing and publishing, mercantile and hotel and restaurant industries covering approximately 60 per cent of the women coming within the jurisdiction of the Minimum Wage Board. MR. A. E. MALONE ON St. Louis, Mo., October 6.—A. E. Malone, 4300 St. Ferdinand avenue, president of Poro College, was appointed by State Chairman J. G. Hughes as a member of the Executive Committee of the Republican State Committee. Malone is a Negro. He was recommended for appointment by members of the Republican city organization. Other members of the Executive Committee were announced by Hughes at the platform, meeting at Jefferson City. STORY THE WEEK HAS TOLDS The week marked the resumption of activities in all work. The various civic centers, musical clubs, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the celebrated Bethel Literary and Historical Society, as well as the churches, making known their programs for the winter season. The Metropolitan Baptist Sunday School launched a campaign for a membership of 1,000, gully 600 coming out at the opening. The Lydia Missionary Circle of this church held a bench rally to pay the tuition in the National Training School for Women and Girls of a native African girl. A committee of religious workers met at the Lincoln Temple Congregational Church and adopted a constitution and made known its plan for systematic Bible study and applied mission work. Perhaps the most interest centered around the fact that the Rev. Daniel E. Wiseman, pastor of the Church of Our Redeemer (Lutheran), was invited to preach at the Mount Vernon Methodist Episcopal Church, South. This is something that does not happen very often here, but Rev. Wiseman was well received. The meeting was held under the auspices of the Washington Auxiliary Mission to Lepers. Walter Burwell, formerly employed as a waiter at the Columbia Country Club, near here, is sought by the police to answer for the fatal shooting of James Taylir, head waiter at the club. It appears that Burwell was discharged from the club and laid the blame on Taylor, so he called at the club, under the pretext of wanting to talk with Taylor, and when the latter appeared at the basement door he shot him in the stomach, from which wound he died at the Emergency Hospital. He was 60 years of age. *** Uzziah Miner, of Howard University, delivered an address on "The Americanism of the Negro" to a large and appreciative audience at the Mt. Carmel Baptist Church. Uzziah Miner is a forceful speaker, and because of his many tracts on timely issues has made a most favorable impression on Washington audiences. The Research University, supposedly specializing in meeting the vocational and avocational needs of Federal employees, would go on record as catering exclusively to white aspirants after knowledge. Colored young people are being told, when applying for catalogues, in language somewhat similar to this: "Of course; you know we teach by correspondence only." *** In the Bureau of the Census several young colored women were told that their bonus pay for two weeks would be taken out of their pay because of the fact that they had held back cards and reported too many. These were record punchers, and so swift were they that they punched cards sufficient to report for a full day and have a balance to start the next. In the case of the two young women, they had reported 2,000 population cards punched in a seven-hour day. GEORGETOWN CHURCHES. At Mt. Zion M. E. Church last Sunday Rev. H. J. Mitchell preached at I a. m. to a large congregation on the text, "What shall I do, then, with Jesus who is called the Christ?" It was one of the most powerful, instructive and inspiring sermons ever listened to in Mt. Zion. Communion was served to a large number. At 4 p. m. the Epworth League opened with prayer, and a good program was rendered. Rev. A. J. Mitchell is pastor *** The pastor of Ebenezer A. M. E. Church has been awarded a scholarship to Harvard College, and during his absence the church will be in charge of Rev. Potter, assisted by Rev. R. Dame. At 11 a. m. last Sunday at 11 a. m. Rev. Potter preached. Mr. Charles Lee sang an excellent solo, "Some Day." Mr. W. J. Martin, 3208 M street, is agent for The Bee; and race papers from Baltimore, New York and Chicago also can be had there. UNION FRIENDSHIP LODGE ANNIVERSARY. The Seventy-fourth anniversary of Union Friendship Lodge, No. 891, G. U. O. of O. F., was held Sunday, October 3, at Odd Fellows' Hall, at 3 p. m., opening with a"hymn, "All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name"; a prayer by Rev. W. T. Henderson: address, P. G. M. W. P. Lee, and solo by Miss Virginia Williams. A banner was presented to the lodge by the newly made members of 1919 and 1920. P. G. M. James Lansbrough made the presentation. One of the features was a large collection, which was turned over to the lodge. SPECIAL NOTICE By order of the trustees of the Parcel Porters' Company, incorporated under the laws of Congress of the District of Columbia, October 30, 1919, there will be a special meeting of the stockholders November 9, 1920, for the purpose of recapitalizing.

WASHINGTON, D. C., OCTOBER 9, 1920. So far as we are advised, there has been no change in the last few weeks in the status of Haiti, now being overrun and brow-beaten by the military and diplomatic power of the United States. The main facts are the secret military aggression in Haiti extending over several years; the expose of that aggression over a month ago largely through the instrumentality of The Bee; the denouncing by Mr. Harding of these lawless acts; the unsatisfactory denials of our Government, with promise of "investigation" and publication of the "facts," and the indication that our Department of State purposes to pursue the policy already inaugurated in the face of an earnest appeal to that department by a visiting committee of Haitian statesmen. At this writing we read in the public press a dispatch to the Navy Department from Admiral Knapp, one of the naval officers sent to Haiti to "investigate," announcing the killing by United States Marines of a "bandit chief" in an "encounter" about September 23. It is a fact pretty well understood that there are no bandits in Haiti of the native population, but that the so-called bandits are the natives who have fled to the mountains in order to escape enforced labor on the public roads. The Washington Post is among the few influential daily newspapers that have manifested a determination to publish all of the known facts touching the unfortunate conditions in Haiti. In its issue of the 3d instant the Post significantly says: "The report of Generals Lejeune and Butler on Haiti and San Domingo will get the front page if it tells how the island republics are getting on under the Frank Roosevelt constitutions." The indications point strongly to the probability that the people of the United States will not countenance and will not pursue the policy of the present Democratic administration with reference to Haiti and San Domingo. In its treatment of Haiti and San Domingo the Democratic administration—another term for the Solid South—has given another proof of its traditional enmity of and contempt for the people of the darker races. As we pointed out last week, that party, in addition to other gross sins, is the sponsor of slavery, peonage and race and class tyranny, and of all the necessary devilish means to promote these. The Democratic party of the United States is essentially the party of the Southern whites, or a group of those whites who constitute an oligarchy, which oligarchy has ruled all the people of the United States during these nearly eight years. That party and oligarchy typify a group of buccaneers and swashbucklers whose civilization is that of the Dark Ages and the Inquisition. That party and its abominable ideals stand for the most conspicuous anachronism of our enlightened and humane age. As a phenomenon of our civilization it is as a fly in a pan of milk. Talk of Teutonic perfidy and brutality! Let us look nearer home. It is anomalous that this group of beauties, minority in point of numbers, laggard in point of industry, backward in point of development, should at times attain political ascendancy in our land of boasted civilization. Are they not moral idiots? It is ludicrous that the sacred term "democracy" should be prostituted to designate this monstrous aggregation of grafters and killers. It will doubtless in the future be one of the mysteries of history that the moral, intelligent and wealthy North, a majority, ever submitted to, the domination of this unholy Solid South. DR. PLUMMER MARRIED. Young Physician Takes a Bride. Dr. Frank Victor Blummer, son of Dr. R. F. and Mrs. Plummer, who recently graduated from the Chicago (Ill.)

REV. T E. BROADUS ENJOYS BRIEF TRIP Rev. and Mrs. Thomas E. Broadus left Washington on September 22, going to Philadelphia. On Thursday morning they left Philadelphia for Ithaca, N. Y., traveling through the beautiful Lehigh and Susquehanna valleys. Rev. William D. White, D. D., met Mr. and Mrs. Broadus upon their arrival in Ithaca at 5 p. m. He is the pastor of the Calvary Baptist Church, the only Baptist Church in Ithaca, of which he has been pastor for seven years, having built up a splendid congregation from about twenty members. He is held in high esteem in Ithaca, having no associates but the white ministers, and the people, both white and colored, almost idolize him. Mrs. Julia White, his wife, is a fine specimen of a fine old Virginia family, who is responsible for the very attractive home and parsonage, which is next door to the church, a thirty-thousand-dollar structure, modern in all its appointments, with a --- large auditorium, chapel and basement. Rev. White led us through the grounds and buildings of the great Cornell University. The scenes are simply indescribable. In the Sage Chapel are to be seen agimate beings out in marble and stone and a large pipe organ 24 feet across the front. While one of the university professors was playing, the sound brought to the mind the vision of the Revelator on the Isle of Patmos. We preached for Dr. White all day, and t oa mixed congregation in the evening. The people said: "Do come again." Mrs. Broadus addressed the Sunday School, the B. Y. P. U. and the audience at the evening service, at which time several of the young people expressed their belief in the Saviour. Mrs. Broadus attended, and addressed a ladies' organization on Monday afternoon, and a dinner was given in our honor by Brother and Mrs. Fisher, late of Arlington, Va. We left on Monday night on the Black Diamond for Philadelphia, arriving Tuesday morning at 8 a.m. Wednesday we spent in a visit to Atlantic City. It was summer weather and the beach was full as in August. We visited Ellensworth and Sharon Hill, Pa., where the uncle and brother of Mrs. Broadus resides. We spent two nights with the youngest brother, Mr. Jas. Adams, who is a very prosperous grocer. We left at 5:15 for home. On arriving home, we were met with the sad news of the death of Rev. R. B. Ward, of Charles county, Maryland, an honored pastor and founder of the Potomac River Association, of which Rev. Broadus is the corresponding secretary. His funeral was well attended. We found Deanwood much stirred over having to send their children to the unfinished and very dangerous fire-trap called a modern school building. We occupied our pulpit Sunday and assisted Dr. Brent in his communion. We also attended, the farewell reception given Rev. M. D. Willis at the First Baptist Church in Fairmount Heights. It was a grand affair. MUSICAL NOTES Extensive repairs are being made to Louis T. Thomas' Capital City Cleff Club at Ninth and R streets.

The company is up to date; its jokes, music, acting, costumes and scenery are all new. The girls are young and pretty, and even the Whitneys brothers have taken a new lease of life. The costumes are well designed and made, and Miss Jennie Hillman comes in for the credit for this feature of the show. This show in costuming surpasses all efforts of this great company, and the producers of the show stand the equals of any of their competitors. It is the greatest show on the boards today. Mr. Whitney conceived the plot and put it into execution, and none but a theatrical genius could have succeeded. The show is named "Bamboula," with books and lyrics by Salem Tutt Whitney and J. Homer Tutt, assisted by Harry T. Burleigh, Melville Charlton and Romco Dougherty; costumes designed and made by Jennie B. Hillman, New York City; music by James J. Vaughn and Edgar Dowell; tailoring by John W. Hines; cutter and designer, J. Francis; scenery by Geo. Davis Studios, Philadelphia, Pa.; electrical effects by Keigle, New York. Synopsis of show: Prof. Lovling, a musical fanatic, after hearing the first four measures of "Bamboula," an ancient African melody, not knowing from whence the melody came, conceives the idea of tracing its origin in order to prove that the Africans as well as other people have contributed to the music of the world. FAIRMOUNT HEIGHTS NEWS. The committee and subcommittee on registration appointed by Hon. S. Gardner Coale, chairman of the Republican State Central Committee, to assist in registering the colored voters of the eighteenth election district of Prince George's county, Md., held an important meeting at the home of Mrs. W. B. Cole, one of the faithful members of the subcommittee, Thursday night, September 30. The meeting was called to order by Mr. James F. Armstrong, the chairman, who made a survey of the work which showed wonderful progress. Except Mr. V. J. Parker, Mrs. M. E. Campbell and Mrs. L. Stewart, who were sick, the full committee was present and made reports, which showed that 191 women registered at the second precint and forty-nine who pledged themselves to register on October 5.

The regular Republican Club of the Seat Pleasant district of Prince George's county held a rousing meeting in the Fairmount Heights public hall Monday night, October 4. Mr. Thomas Galloway, president, was ill, and Vice-President Geo. A. Patterson conducted the meeting. Quite a number of persons became members of the Republican Club. Mr. James F. Armstrong was elected secretary of the club. An invitation was extended to all Republicans to join the club. While there is no objection to anyone becoming a member of any other club, it would be wisdom on the part of all Republicans to join and identify themselves with the Republican Club. The affairs of this country must be placed in the hands of the regular Republican organizations. Mrs. Rosae E. Nale, teacher at McCartha, has organized her community for school improvements and the pupils in her school for boys' and girls' club work. A beautiful entertainment was held Monday afternoon, and quite a sum of money was realized.

The league was addressed by Miss Nellie Plummer, of Bladensburg; Mrs. M. F. Wigginton, of Brentwood, Md., and Mr. Datchet. The meeting was very largely attended, and the speakers received loud applause. The Republican Club, after the adjournment of its meeting, attended the session of the league. The officers of the league are: Mrs. Helen B. Cardozo, eighteenth disric-president; Mrs. Lucy E. Makel, vice-president; Mrs. Bessie G. Patterson, secretary, and Mrs. Margaret L. Brooks, treasurer.

PRESIDENT JAMES E. SHEPARD, DURHAM, NORTH CAROLINA PUBLIC MEN AND THINGS. By the Sage of the Potomac. Ashby Hawkins, the colored independent candidate for the Senate, can hope to accomplish but little in his contest. This is not the time for colored Americans to kick out of the traces. I believe in kicking in the traces but not out. My good friend Hawkins is running a losing campaign. The New York colored men may kick against Editor Fred Moore and Charles W. Anderson, but it must be admitted that both men, have the confidence and respect of the American people. Mr. Anderson is an honor to his party, and Editor Moore is a journalistic factor in the field of journalism. If someone will tell what service Henry Lincoln Johnson has been to his race, I will name the next Republican Cabinet. As Recorder of Deeds, he was a nonentity. His office was run by his deputy and the white women were allowed to do as they please. He has never stated to his friends why President Wilson asked for his resignation. Whenever an occasion demands it, the Sage will tell the story. Our Baptist contemporary, The Eagle, puffed himself last week. It declared that he received an ovation in the States in which he spoke and asked to be sent back again. If he was such an oratorical factor when he spoke, certainly he would have remained. Colored editors on The Eagle order are numerous. I have not seen by any of the exchanges where he addressed anyone. I have heard him in this city, and his harangues have been the same. He plays upon the names of Douglass, Bruce, Lynch and other antebellum politicians and "before the war" stories. If you would ask him what was meant by the League of Nations, he would relate a story of himself and his imaginary circulation. This is stock in trade. The Jews are erecting a jim-crow theatre in the vicinity of U street. Wherever you see a nest of colored Americans the Jews will drop in. If the colored people in this city have good sense, they will pass these jim-crow enterprises up to the next. I would advise our friends to patronize their own institutions and race enterprises. The Dudley-Murray Corporation is a race enterprise, and I would suggest that we give it support. The way for us to succeed, since we are segregated by other people, is to give our own the support that jim-crow agitators want us to supply. * * * I have never seen so many would-be politicians in all of my life. Just what impression these orators make on the voters I am at a loss to state.

SHEPARD, DURHAM, NORT For further information and Catalog, address political sagacity than many of our men. The women will be factors in the present campaign. They are in many instances better vote-getters than the men. **** Speaking of real race factors, my good friend John W. Lewis is doing more to advance the interest of the race than any former race promoters. The next great move that he is promoting will be the greatest in the history of colored America. Mme. A. J. Smith, of 935 R street northwest, is said to be one of the greatest race promoters in hair in this country. I understand that she has a grease that will actually cause your hair to grow. *** There are some doubting Thomases in the present campaign. I have every reason to believe that the Republican ticket will win, and then the condition of the colored Americans will be better. The people of the District of Columbia are a set of cowards, both white and colored. The white people, Democrats and Republicans, are afraid to assert their independence. No city in the United States would tolerate what the people of Washington endure. Congress does just as it pleases. They can neither remove a person from office or have one appointed, no matter what the offense one commits or how objectionable one may be. The restoration of suffrage is the only weapon of defense a citizen of this city should demand. THE HIGH COST OF LIVING. The high cost of living still continues to hold a place in big headlines as well as in the news and editorial columns of the daily papers. The Literary Digest "Topics of the Day" is showing on the motion picture screen numerous well-worded editorial comments on this phase of our living, selected from the press of the world.

PARKER uses this table in his office in treating the spine and nerves. It is something entirely new and wonderful in construction. Its "universal joint" conforms with the principles of anatomy and physiology of the spinal joints and is remarkably adapted to manipulative treatment of the human spine. When it is remembered that the spine is the "backbone" of the body and contains the spinal cord, which gives off nerves to all organs and parts of the body, it will readily be understood that health and strength depend largely on the condition of the spine and spinal cord. Strain, weakness, irregular or abnormal condition of any region of the spine will affect the spinal cord, thus causing troubles in the organs which get their nerve supply from that section of the cord, be it the heart, lungs, stomach, liver, kidneys, bowels, uterus, bladder, or any other organs. Osteopathic treatment corrects the spinal troubles, releases the cord and nerves, regulates the circulation, strengthens the organs, and Nature does the rest. Dr. Parker pays special attention to cases of female troubles and troubles of the eyes. PHONE: NORTH 533-J.

COX AGAINST NEGRO Democrats Open Campaign Against the Colored Race. As the campaign advances and the true attitude of the Democratic party becomes more and more apparent to the country, there is only one conclusion to be drawn as to the true purposes and intent of Cox and his party cohorts, headed by the spirit of the Solid South, and that intent means the total elimination of the American Negro from American institutions. A brief comparison of the parties, their candidates and their platforms tells the undeniable story. The Republican platform says: "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." On this all-important question the Democratic platform says nothing. Senator Harding says: "I believe Wonderful Hair! Often you have heard the statement "Wonderful Hair;" and perhaps you have envied the woman about whom the remark was made. You have decided then and there, that you would do something to make your hair like hers. But, you've put it off, thinking that after all it was impossible. But it is NOT impossible for YOU to have long, luxuriant hair, soft and silky—just the kind you've wished for so many times. By using DR. FRED PALMER'S HAIR DRESSER you will notice a difference in a very short time, and soon your hair will begin to take on new life; it will grow smooth and soft, long and silky—and YOU, too, will have "wonderful hair."

On this question Governor Cox has said nothing. Governor Coolidge, in support of the Republican platform, said: "There is especially due to the colored race a more general recognition of their constitutional rights. Tempted with disloyalty, they remained loyal, serving in the military forces with distinction, obedient to the draft to the extent of hundreds of thousands, investing one dollar out of every five dollars 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." Abraham Lincoln never uttered a stronger sentiment. On this question Governor Cox and his party are significantly silent. In the great State of New York the Republican Convention has said The remarkable results that thousands have obtained from the use of DR. FRED PALMER'S HAIR DRESSER fully prove our statements.

E. in its platform: "We not only condemn lynch law, but we condemn all acts which tend to create and foster race prejudice. We declare for the honest enforcement of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments." On this question all Democratic platforms from all Democratic States have said nothing. We know of no one better qualified to speak for a party than a party leader. The following are the exact words of the leaders of the Democratic party: "The Democratic party is a white man's party in the North as well as the South."—Former Congressman Taylor, a Democrat. "The white men of the South are determined that the Negro shall be disfranchised everywhere it is necessary."—William Jennings Bryan. In proof of the sincerity of such a party leader as Mr. Bryan, we cite the following dastardly piece-of legislation introduced in Georgia by one Mr. Harris: "Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Georgia, and it is hereby enacted by the authority of the same. That from and after the passage of this act $ \frac{3}{4} $ "Section 1. It shall be unlawful for any person born on the Continent of Africa, or any descendant of any person born on the Continent of Africa, since the year 1492 A. D., to vote or hold office in the State of Georgia. "Sec. 2. Be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That all laws, parts of laws, usages and customs in conflict with the law be, and the same are hereby, repealed." This sweeping blow, intended to wipe the American Negro from the face of the earth politically, was dealt by a party leader dedicated to the perpetuation of the present Democratic rule in Washington. Governor Cox, in a speech delivered out West the other day, screaming at the top of his voice, before what he thought was a sympathetic audience, declared that this is a white man's country. He paid his respect to the Negro and thus closed forever any --- ATLANTA, GA. door of hope any Negro may have seen in the Democratic party. WILL VISIT UNITED STATES. Cuban Legislator and His Daughter To Come Here. Senorita Regina Ramirez Ross, the daughter of Hon. Primitivo Ramirez Ross, of Havana, Cuba, will visit this country with four members of the family of Senor Rand, head of the Internationale Banco de Cuba. These Cuban millionaires are on their way to Philadelphia, Pa. Senorita Ramirez, who has a diploma, with B. A. degree, is seeking to enter Howard University because she is below the age for entering the University of Habana. Senor Ross is in receipt of many letters from men of the colored race who promise to visit Cuba and investigate, with the idea of investing. Senor Ross is one of the greatest statesmen in Cuba. SLANDER OF THE DEMOCRATS. Senator Owens, of Oklahoma, the national Democratic leader, at a recent Chillicothe Democratic rally, charged his party with the necessity of defeating the will and nullifying the vote of the colored Republicans in November. He declared that the black vote was not only ignorant, but venal. He said that the mythical fifteen-million-dollar Republican campaign fund was being raised for such sinister uses as corrupting the colored voters. This slander of the Democrats we ask every self-respecting colored man and woman to refute by registering and voting in November. This bourbon spirit of the spokesman of the party of Woodrow Wilson, we urge you to crush forever by voting that party out of power forever. Only thus can you throw back the charge into the teeth of the Southern despots now at Washington. This threatened and promised invasion of the black man's constitutional rights even in the North by Cox and his Southern colleagues should not go unchallenged. Blaek men and women are going to vote the Republican ticket this year, not because they are ignorant and venal, but because they know the cruelty and political criminality of the Democratic party, past and present; because their rights are dearer to them than all the corruption funds which the Democratic party can ever collect to buy their suffrage. They are giving now their time, their energy and their prayers for the success of the Republican party. They are going to carry the pivotal Northern and border States for the Grand Old Party. They are going to elect their friends and the patriots of America to power. This is and will be their answer on November 2 to the slander of the Democrats. Last year the National League Park at Philadelphia was filled to its utmost capacity by representative colored citizens, graduates and adherents as well as students of the two far-famed educational institutions—Lincoln and Howard Universities. Enthusiasm is already at fever heat for the game this year between the same two institutions. The reservation of boxes and grand-stand seats is already proceeding at a very lively rate. Reservations have been received from Pittsburgh, Boston, Philadelphia, Atlanta and Norfolk, thereby assuring the advance sale of the full capacity of the American League Park, Washington, D. C., which has been secured for the Thanksgiving Day game between the same schools this year. It is the plan to reserve box seats at $2 each and grand-stand seats at $1.50. The general admission to the pavilions will be $1. All reservations for tickets should be accompanied by post-office money order or certified check and forwarded to Dr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary-treasurer, Howard University. MADAM TINEY WILSON After a Successful European Tour, is Scoring With "The Smarter Set."
