Coage, of Washington, Address Them— Charles H. Colburn Sees Party Success. (From the Dover Evening Journal, Oct. 15.) The National Theatre last night was crowded to its capacity with the colored women voters of Wilmington to hear the issues discussed by Jefferson S. Coage and Mrs. Mary, Church Terrell, both of Washington, D. C. Mrs. Terrell is the wife of Judge Robert H. Terrell. The meeting was called to order by the chairman, Mrs. Alice Nelson Dunbar, who is also chairman of the Women's Speakers' Bureau of Delaware. In an eloquent address she urged the women to vote on November 2, saying that none could afford to be derelict at this time when the G. O. P. needs them. Prayer was offered by the chaplain of the organization, and the band played "The Star-Spangled Banner," while all stood and cheered. The chairman then introduced the former Delawarean, Jefferson S. Coage, who said: "It is no longer customary to address a political audience as ladies and gentlemen; we are now glad to say, 'Fellow-citizens.' Delaware has the unique distinction of being the oldest State in the Union. Her motto of 'Liberty and Independence' was the first to make possible the compact of States. We also have the unique honor as a group of giving the balance of political power to the Republican party. "Since the nineteenth amendment to the Constitution has given us the women's vote, we are going to double our usual majority on November 2." "Delaware would have had the honor of which Tennessee now boasts had it not been for Democrats who led in the legislature in blocking the amendment. This same man is now asking the women of the Southern district to support him for State.Senator. Surely the women will not be as ungrateful as that! A man who can not give his support to an ennobling act, certainly can not be expected to pas favorably upon measures drawn under the act. Go to the polls early; stay in line. Don't cut the ticket, and have no other business on November 2 but at the polling booth." Mrs. Henri Pipes, wife of the candidate for the legislature, then got the audience to give three rousing cheers for Mr. Coage. Every voter present was requested to support the cause of Dr. Pipes for the legislature. The chairman then introduced Committeeman Charles Colburn, who urged the women voters to line up with the Republican party and use their influence to have every woman of this State vote the straight Republican ticket and assure the election of Warren G. Harding of Ohio as the next President of the United States. After music by the band, Mrs. Terrell was introduced and for one hour arraigned the Democratic party for its eight years of mismanagement of public affairs. She told of her travels around the world and her visits to the boys in the trenches and conditions as she found them, laying stress on the fact that the boys who "The F American ADMISSION: The Washington Bee died on foreign soil were not permitted to have colored nurses to attend them in their last hours. She advised the women of Delaware to support the Republican party, making an appeal to each to do her duty. Resolutions were adopted protesting against the arrest of Mrs. Terrell in Dover on Wednesday at the railroad station there on a charge preferred by the station agent, Howard West, and calling upon the railroad company to investigate the occurrence. Rev. J. U. King, of Ezien Church, was appointed chairman of a committee to investigate the affair PASTOR VOTED OUT. Rev. Thomas Hall Rejected by Vote of 39 to 13—Church Wrangle at End—"Big Three" Supervised the Election. On the fifth Sunday of August Attorneys Harry L. Tignor and Elwood G. Hubert filed in the District Supreme Court a petition on behalf of Louis T. Washington, Moses Holmes, Carper Saunders and others against Thomas Hall and others, asking that the said Thomas Hall be enjoined from entering the pulpit of the Mt. Nebo Baptist Church. Attorney Frisby filed an answer on behalf of the pastor. At the first hearing of the case Mr. Justice Siddons announced that he would appoint three supervisors of an election. Later, however, he turned the whole matter over to Mr. Justice Gould, who named Rev. Walter H. Brooks, Rev. William J. Howard and Rev. M. W. D. Norman as supervisors of an election, and directed them to hold the said election on October 14. This was done, and the supervisors, known as the "Big Three," reported to Mr. Justice Hitz as follows: "To the honorable Supreme Court of the District of Columbia: We, the undersigned ministers, appointed to supervise an election at the Mt. Nebo Baptist Church on Thursday night, the 14th day of October, 1920, or any other suitable date between said date and the 30th day of November, in the year of our Lord 1920, did hold such an election in the Mt. Nebo Baptist Church on the 14th day of October at 8 p. m. At said election, of the 52 ballots cast, 13 ballots were cast for retaining the Rev. Thomas Hall as pastor and 39 ballots cast against his retention. "Respectfully, "Walter H. Brooks, "William J. Howard, "Moses W. D. Norman." YOUNG MEN'S PROTECTIVE LEAGUE.

Washington Speaks Before North Atlantic Tuberculosis Conference—Piedmont Sanitarium a Big Success. Richmond, Va., October 16.—The North Atlantic Tuberculosis Conference recently received from Major Allen Washington, commandant of cadets at Hampton Institute and president of the Negro Organization Society, a constructive report on "What Virginia Is Doing to Fight Tuberculosis Among Negroes." Major Washington said: "It is estimated that there are in the State of Virginia about 4,000 cases of tuberculosis, including 2,000 cases among Negroes. It is our duty to see that this large percentage is lowered. One of the great troubles with our people in sickness is that many times they do not believe in a cure for tuberculosis, and they are slow to realize that they are infected by the germ. Then, too, the treatment for tuberculosis is so simple that they have little faith in it. When the dull feeling comes as a forerunner of the disease, accompanied by temperature, loss of weight and a persistent cough, they often feel that the first thing to do is to go to a country store or to a quack doctor and purchase patent medicine. "It has been true in many cases that when patients are suffering with tuberculosis they feel that they have been 'tricked' by some enemy, and that the conjure doctor is the only person to help them. I have personally known of cases where whole families have been wiped out, because of the failure to call in a real physician before the tubercular patient became too ill to be helped. Teaching Men to Live. "We have organized in the State of Virginia the Negro Organization Society, which has taken this motto: Better Schools, Better Health, Better Homes, Better Farms.' For a number of years we have been emphasizing the value of health and education. We have been trying also to teach our people in Virginia, as well as those in other parts of the country, that it is better to live than to die. We have preached this with renewed vigor during the last few years, since Dr. Ennion G. Williams, State Commissioner of Health for Virginia, has given us the splendid program, in which he plainly shows that among all the diseases peculiar to the human race, only two of these are unpreventable, namely, cancer and old age. "It has been discovered that the great majority of people troubled with tuberculosis have been infected in childhood. Since this is true, it is necessary that we exercise great care in selecting proper surroundings for the children, where they will not be in danger of infection. Our people One Organ, One Pipe, One Piece of Music! W.W. LEAGUE OF NATION BY GRANT E. HANGLTON OF JUDGES should learn also to be very careful about spitting. The sputum of the patient is most dangerous after it has become dry, for then the germs are set free to fly in the air, where they may be inhaled and deposited in the lungs of individuals. A Convert's Story. "I confess that I once had very little faith in the cure or even the arrest of tuberculosis. Some years ago, before the Piedmont Sanitarium was established, a young physician came to Hampton Institute to talk with Dr. H. B. Frissell, and to look over the Institute, trying to get suggestions about the location for a sanitarium. I had the pleasure of showing him around the grounds. He told me about his scheme, and I listened very attentively to all he had to say; but when he left me I was of the same opinion as when I first met him in the morning. After the establishment of the sanitarium, I was invited to attend the first anniversary exercises, but I had no confidence in the movement. My belief was that if a person had tuberculosis there was nothing to be done for him, and death would come shortly. "Several friends started with me to Piedmont. On the train we met Hon. W. W. Baker, a great friend of the Negroes, one who believed very thoroughly in them and gave liberally of his time, labor and money for the erection of the sanitarium. We talked very freely, and I found him very enthusiastic and earnest. "When we reached Burkeville, I was much surprised at the size of the place and the buildings, especially the executive building, where the superintendent, head nurse and others lived and worked. There was also a dining room, a kitchen and a pavilion on each side—one for men and one for women—with forty beds in each pavilion. I became more interested with the outlook for great possibilities there. After dinner seats were placed un- der the trees, where we were to listen to the program for the day. This program, consisting of several splendid papers, solos and quartets, was presented by intelligent, fine-looking persons. To my great surprise, I was told that the participants in the program had come to the sanitarium as tubercular patients, but that they were now well and ready to go out into the world and make their living. "If Piedmont had done nothing more than help these people regain their health, the result would have been well worth the effort. Since that day I have been a convert to the ideas represented by the Piedmont Sanitarium. I am willing to lend my word and assistance to the work that is being done by Dr. Carter and his associates. These people at Piedmont were living examples of the cure for tuberculosis—living epistles to be seen and read of men. "Much is being done in Virginia for the unfortunate. Clinics are being held in many cities, where people are examined. Many persons are becoming less skeptical about examinations. Many are endeavoring to keep themselves and their families in better physical condition. I was in Danville last spring when such a clinic was held. What is true of Danville may be true in other cities. I hope that the Virginia Tuberculosis Association will make it possible for these clinics to be held oftener. "It is the plan of the Negro Organization Society to have the ministers in the different communities talk to the people on tuberculosis. It is very gratifying to know that there is a school at Piedmont where two post-graduate classes have been conducted for the purpose of enabling our Negro physicians to detect tuberculosis in the early stages. All who attended these classes were much interested and greatly benefited. They returned to their several communities better prepared to combat the disease and to be of greater service." MRS.

WILSON FAILS TO RECOGNIZE RACE POLITICALLY, Great Coterie of Colored Officeholders in Official Consular and Revenue Service Destroyed by Southern Administration, While Those Under Civil Service Are Demoted, Dismissed or Segregated. A casual survey of the official recognition given the twelve million colored citizens of America today, contrasted with the position that the race held prior to the advent of Woodrow Wilson and his regime of Southern race haters, the most gloomy aspect of the entire situation here. One need not take into account the great waves of persecution that have spread from Dixie into the furthemost Northern States since the entry of the South-in-the-Saddle Democracy. Neither should it be necessary for one to review the great orgies of lynching at Chicago, East St. Louis, Omaha and Duluth for him to picture the disaster that has overcome these loyal twelve million Americans since the Southern School Master first took his seat in the White House. It would be well, too, for him to omit his perusal of the metropolitan press, with its daily accounts of horrible lynchings in the Southern States. All that is necessary from a political point of view is to look at the roster here of able black men who held office before and who have held office since.

EE INSTITUTE NOTES Miss Jane E. Hunter, founder and director of the Phyllis Wheatley Home for Girls, of Cleveland, Ohio, visited the institute during the past week. at the Auditorium Theatre last night, urged all Negroes to vote the "redemption of the principles of the sainted Lincoln." santee Cottrill described Cox as an arch enemy of the Negro, and insisted, all other issues laid aside, the honorable Negro of today can do nothing less than vote a straight Republican ticket. He emphasized the duty as it pertains to the election of Hard- ing and Coolidge and Hyde and Spencer in Missouri. Referring to Cox as the "accidental Governor of Ohio," Cottrill assailed the Democratic nominee's record and asserted that every Negro who votes for Cox votes to "keep the Democratic heel on the neck of his race." In praising Senator Harding, the speaker said it is "a crime to attempt to contrast Harding with Cox." the better for I will say this—the people of Fairmount Heights will pick their own leaders For the sake of news we invite the editor of The Bee and his good friend, Thomas L. Jones, to the Voters' League meeting at the public hall. NEGRO VOTERS SEE ELECTION DAY AS WELCOME CHANGE Harding Will Protect What Cox Has Often Said He Would Disregard. (From Kansas City Sun.) Declaring Governor Cox to be an enemy of the Negro race, Charles A. Cotttrill, of Toledo, a national Negro leader, in an Emancipation address Major W. H. Walcott, commandant of the Institute, was promoted to the rank of lieutenant-colonel by special order. No.1 of the executive council. By paragraph 2 of the same order, Captain A. R. Stewart, assistant commandant, was promoted to the rank of major. The commandant's staff has been considerably strengthened this year. FAIRMOUNT HEIGHTS, MD. The Voters' League of Fairmount Heights held its regular meeting on Saturday night at the public hall. President H. G. Burdette was in the chair. The league members are preparing to give a dance on October 21 for the purpose of doing some of the many things needed in the Heights. Many of the streets in the subdivision are in a very bad condition. Fairmount avenue has been turned over to the county as a public road and will be kept up by the county road commissioners; therefore, it is no longer a street, but a public road. Six months ago the citizens who live on Chapel avenue agreed to turn their street over to the county so it could be placed in a condition to be of some use this winter. The citizens are greatly in need of good streets and driveways in and out of the Heights, and some efforts are being made to better conditions. The thing that is needed most in a subdivision like Fairmount Heights is incorporation. It is a hard matter to get the county commissioners to do one thing in a subdivision but collect the taxes. The citizen has everything to do for himself when it comes to improvements, and I am sorry to say a good many are not willing to help make the necessary improvements. A corporate rule or law would include every citizen who lives within the bounds or owns real property therein. A uniform charge on all taxable property within the prescribed bounds would yield enough funds to fix one or more streets a The citizens have answered the call so many times for funds to fix streets, and nothing substantial has been done as yet; therefore, it seems to be a waste of funds. The citizens in general have the idea, which is not a good one, that it is not right for them to do something which does not benefit them directly. directly. Fairmount Heights would be in darkness were it not for the fact that lights are on some of the citizens' porches on the way to the public hall and Fairmount Heights Park. To my mind, the citizens will find themselves in the near future demanding loudly for incorporation for their village. With new thought, never-idle tongues and a command to move on, things no doubt, will become better along all lines. What Fairmount, Heights needs more than anything else is unity of thought, unity of action and cooperation of all. It is stated that Hon. Sydney E. Mudd and other noted speakers will address the citizens here Saturday night in Fairmount Heights Park, because the Voters' League has the public hall. So on Saturday night someone will be buried face downward politically in Fairmount Heights—the sooner the better for all concerned. "When you enter the voting booth election day, think of the woes and wrongs and crimes committed against our folks in sections where Democracy rules," said Cottrill. "The man who claims to be a Democrat and your friend at the same time is either lying or fooling himself, for a man can't be a real Democrat and a friend of a race the Democratic party always has and still is repressing." Cottrill told of a visit he had with Governor Cox on a question inciting racial feelings, and asserted Cox told him: "I don't give a damn about the niggers." The speaker urged Negro women to register and exercise their right of franchise. He closed by drawing a "deadly parallel" between the racial attitude of Cox and Harding. In introducing Cottrill, Dr. J. E. Perry, who presided, said the Negroes of the city desire to "aid in driving out the crooks and breaking up protected vice" in Kansas City.

In the last several months The Bee has printed considerable matter on the wrongs suffered by Haiti at the hands of the United States, or, to be more specific, at the hands of the National City Bank group of New York City, aided and abetted by our Department of State, which in turn has been aided by our Navy Department. These wrongs, extending over nearly the whole period of the present Democratic administration, have been a succession of lawless and dastardly acts designed to steal the material wealth of Haiti and to humiliate and degrade the Haitian people. The specific acts of wrong-doing have included sharp financial practice (a mild term for thievery); diplomatic craft and jugglery (a mild term for falsehood and treachery); making war on a friendly and helpless foreign nation, which has been a good neighbor, without due form of law and in violation of international law and ethics; the institution in that unhappy country of a system of peonage (the courvee system of enforced labor) equivalent to the worst form of body slavery, and the actual killing with guns of some 3,250 native Haitians. last several months The Bee has printed on the wrongs suffered by Haiti at the hands of the Nazi group of New York City, aided and abetted by our state, which in turn has been aided by our Naziese wrongs, extending over nearly the whole of Democratic administration, have been a sudden dastardly acts designed to steal the materials to humiliate and degrade the Haitian people. Long-doing have included sharp financial practice (murdery); diplomatic craft and jugglery (a mince and treachery); making war on a friendly institution, which has been a good neighbor, without in violation of international law and ethics; not unhappy country of a system of peonage (the enforced labor) equivalent to the worst form and the actual killing with guns of some 30,000 superfluous to note that the Haitians are colorless Democratic administration, responsible for most synonymous with the Solid South. The State has its vicious rebellion to perpetuate slavery in the Solid South, which has never repented its violation and enforced labor! Education in San Domingo, another colored rebel state respects even worse than in Haiti, if not so severe has given more space to these wrongs of Haitian any other colored publication, notwithstanding face. The indications are that some good fright. The attempt of the Democratic administration censored cables, by suppression of facts and by acts, has been thwarted. As soon as the Nation of the Klu-Kluxism and high finance going on in publics, a demand arose for the facts. Some becoming, notwithstanding the silence of the Nationals and of our State Department, and notwithstanding contradictory denials and explanations of the Post. Washington Post is to be especially commended for the shame to which we refer. The Post has not printed it, so far as obtainable. Any no other incident during the present nation so much served to emphasize to the North that South to rule this country; no other fact shows the country with the bloody-shirted and bloody party. Most news is that the Secretary of the Navy, Mr. Mast has been forced to abandon his program of going before Northern audiences and to appoint a quarry to fix responsibility for the bloody exploits marines in Haiti; that the Democratic camp is it unwise to keep him longer on the stump, and that he had no knowledge of the misdoings of him until he read about them recently in the papers; special report sent to him from his head commander in the subject never reached him. Indent that only a congressional investigation is essential facts. It is evident that the Democracy entrusted with that investigation. A Negro-hat think it good policy. A Negro-hating party seizes Haiti. It is superfluous to note that the Haitians are colored people and that the Democratic administration, responsible for this deviltry, is almost synonymous with the Solid South. The Solid South, which raised its vicious rebellion to perpetuate slavery in the United States! The Solid South, which has never repented its desire for race degradation and enforced labor! The situation in San Domingo, another colored republic, has been in some respects even worse than in Haiti, if not so tragic. The Bee has given more space to these wrongs of Haiti and San Domingo than any other colored publication, notwithstanding our limited space. The indications are that some good fruit will be forthcoming. The attempt of the Democratic administration, by means of censored cables, by suppression of facts and by denials of known facts; has been thwarted. As soon as the Nation got an inkling of the Klu-Kluxism and high finance going on in these sister republics, a demand arose for the facts. Some facts have been forthcoming, notwithstanding the silence of the National City Bank officials and of our State Department, and notwithstanding the ludicrous contradictory denials and explanations of the Navy Department. The Washington Post is to be especially commended for its share in exposing the shame to which we refer. The Post has sought the news and has printed it, so far as obtainable. Probably no other incident during the present national campaign has so much served to emphasize to the North the unfitness of the Solid South to rule this country; no other fact so much to disgust the country with the bloody-shirted and bloody-handed Democratic party. The latest news is that the Secretary of the Navy, Mr. Josephus Daniels, has been forced to abandon his program of campaign speechmaking before Northern audiences and to appoint a naval court of inquiry to fix responsibility for the bloody exploits of the United States marines in Haiti; that the Democratic campaign managers deem it unwise to keep him longer on the stump, and that he asserts that he had no knowledge of the misdoings of his marines in Haiti until he read about them recently in the papers. He says that an official report sent to him from his head commanding officer in Haiti on the subject never reached him. It is evident that only a congressional investigation will reveal all the real essential facts. It is evident that the Democratic party cannot be intrusted with that investigation. A Negro-hating party would not think it good policy. A Negro-hating party sees nothing wrong in Haiti. LUXURIES AND EXTRAVAGANCES. figures just published show that during the time of the United States paid for luxuries $22,250 and $225 for every man, woman and child. Warmous totals for chewing gum, ice cream, syrupy, cosmetics and perfumes, cigarettes, cigars, cakes and useless food, not included under ice or candy. The useless food is estimated at five million in automobiles at three billions. The figures included the expenditures for smoking and contemporary observes that these leviatha figure to make the judicious grieve and be passive. The tax figures just published show that during the year 1919 the people of the United States paid for luxuries $22,700,000,000. This is around $225 for every man, woman and child. The figures include enormous totals for chewing gum, ice cream, soft drinks, furs, jewelry, cosmetics and perfumes, cigarettes, cigars, candy, useless services and useless food, not included under ice cream, soft drinks and candy. The useless food is estimated at five billions, and joy riding in automobiles at three billions. The figures might well have included the expenditures for smoking and chewing tobacco. A valued contemporary observes that these leviathan amounts are of a nature to make the judicious grieve and be pessimistic, and then goes on to say: "The moralist and economist can doubtless draw many lessons from these luxury expenses, but what is evident on the face of the returns is that the United States must be a great country to stand such extravagances and yet flourish." This subject ought to be of considerable practical interest to the colored people. While, relatively to their numbers, the colored people do not spend as much as do the whites on automobiles, furs, jewelry, cigars, useless services and useless food, it is quite probable that they relatively spend as much for most of the other kinds of luxuries mentioned. It is a safe guess that they spent in 1919 for useless things of the kinds mentioned at least $3,000,000,000. And this figure does not include the cost of other trash in the form of personal ornaments, gewgaws, unnecessary railroad travel and the support of organizations of questionable value. It would be vain for this paper to attempt to estimate the aggregate cost to the colored people of these latter indulgences in any recent year. Here is a task for the statisticians of the Negro Business League and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. It is perpetually interesting to observe some of the subjects that those associations do not think about, talk about or write about. They are more fond of thinking, talking and writing about the "marvelous strides" of the colored people. We venture the rash guess that the colored people of the United States wasted outright in the year 1919 at least five billions in useless expenditures. They must be a great people "to stand such extravagance and yet flourish." We propose to say more on this subject at an early day. U. S. CARRIES ON WAR TO ENFORCE OFFENSIVE LAWS Cox Does Not Regard Negro As Citizen With Rights That Demand Respect. (The New York Sun and Herald.) In his speech on Constitution Day Senator Harding said in referring to American military operations in San Domingo and Haiti: "The censorship is no less strict than it was during the secret conferences and conspiracies in Paris. Practically all we know is that thousands of native Haitians have been killed by American marines." Nevertheless, it is possible to form an idea of the character of this war, which, as Mr. Harding says, is being waged, though never declared, through the usurpation by the Executive of powers not only never bestowed on him but scrupulously withheld by "the Constitution." The Haitians whom the marines are pursuing are known as Cacos. Some are simple bandits, some are revolutionists, many are men who have been driven to the hills in consequence of a mistake made by the American administrators early in the occupation of the island. The Americans took too seriously an old law requiring men to work the roads four days a month; there was a rebellion against the attempt to enforce it. Haitian opposition to the Americans crystallized on this issue, and ever since a stream of recruits has been pouring to the bands of outlaws and revolutionists. One of the duties of the American marines has been to hunt down these bands. It has been described as a war of extermination. Samuel Guy Inman, executive secretary of the Committee on Co-operation in Latin America, who made a survey of the island in the summer of 1919, wrote in his report: "These outlaws go in bands numbering from 25 to 200 generally. Not more than 20 or 30 per cent are armed, and these are very poor shots, so that there are few casualties among our men. They are now making a systematic drive and closing in on the bandits, and in some battles from 25 to 60 are killed. "It is with great hesitancy that one seemingly passes criticism on our American-marines. It is the machine, not the man, that is to blame. From the military standpoint it is natural to regard all life as cheap." Another observer, Otto Schoenoch, a New York lawyer, the author of a book on San Domingo and formerly secretary of the Dominican Minister, of Finance, heard "unfortunate stories of torture of prisoners by water cure and by application of red-hot machetes. Giving prisoners an opportunity to escape and shooting them while escaping was also said to have occurred." Mr. Harding spoke of thousands of native Haitians having been killed, James Weldon Johnson, field secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, who visited Haiti recently, says that "in the five years of American occupation more than 3,000 Haitians have been slaughtered." The immediate provocation of the American occupation of Haiti was the violation by a mob of the French Legation at Port-au-Prince and the killing of President Guillaume Sam, who had taken refuge there after causing the death of only 160 political prisoners. And the purpose of the American occupation was to improve the government of Haiti! Give the Marguerite Art Shop, at 632 Acker street northeast, a trial.

Mrs. Moody apparently was in perfect health when the Grim Messenger arrived. Her death was greatly mourned by all who knew her because by her quiet, winning manner she had endeaed herself to all.

DEPARTMENTS ALREADY ESTABLISHED The Teacher Training Department The Grammar School The Divinity School The Academy The Commercial Department The School of Arts and Sciences The Department of Home Economics The Department of Music The Department of Social Service PRESIDENT JAMES E. SHEPARD, DURHAM, NORTH CAROLINA PUBLIC MEN AND THINGS By the Sage of the Potomac. The Murray-Douglass Theatrical Corporation is a certainty, and a new theatre by colored Americans, with their money, labor, etc., will be erected. Now, what is to be done with Crandal's Theatre and the Liberty Theatre in the same square? These white men, who are to erect theatres for colored people, seem to have great faith in their generosity and their financial ability to give preference to the two theatres that will be erected with the capital of the white people. The Howard Theatre has done its duty by giving the colored people just what they want. That orchestra at the Howard is the best in the United States, and you get two shows in one. You get an orchestral concert while the movies are in operation, all for less than 27 cents. Aside from the movies and other attractions, you get a drama occasionally. My good friend, Royal Hughes, delivered a good talk at the Musolit Club some few evenings ago. Royal is a good talker. Now, if he is as good as he can talk, he will have no trouble entering St. Peter's gate. Royal must make peace with St. Peter. He must be able to convince St. Peter that the doctors have examined him and found that he is perfect in every particular. My good friend Byers has opened the New Dunbar Theatre. The inspection last Sunday afternoon was immense. Byers has a happy faculty of operating movies to the satisfaction of the patrons. If Byers is looking for larger game, you can just bet that he has the ammunition to bring it down. *** The new propaganda that is being inaugurated to smoke the Parents' League out must be born again. The Parents' League is here to stay, and no matter what is done the school agitation will not cease until something is done. There is some thing wrong at Howard University. What is meant by the reduction of Prof. Turner and others and the appointment of Tuskegee contingents? Tuskegee is monopolizing all of the best places, and worthy teachers are being reduced to make room for newcomers. I would suggest to Dr. Durkee to go slow and restore Prof. Turner to his former position. If it is not done, an earthquake will strike Howard University so hard that the operators in and around the institution will not know whether they are sinking or rising. What is meant by these changes? Who is Dr. Durkee's adviser? Perhaps, doctor, less praying and more common sense with a practical adviser will benefit you as well as the institution. Miss Mary Wilson has been transferred and demoted. What does that mean? Is it true that Miss Wilson's The Best Place to Eat Everything First-Class Josepn S.

TERM OPENS SEPTEMBER 21, 1920 For further information and Catalog, address JAMES E. SHEPARD, DURHAM, NORT For further information and Catalog, address skin is too dark for the yellows? Was there any reason for the removal of Miss Wilson? I had thought that the color line in the colored schools had been eliminated. **** There is every reason to believe that Attorney Fountain Peyton is the choice of the people for reappointment on the Board of Education. If there was an election there would not be any question. **** The removal of Prof. Montgomery from the supervision of the night schools is a surprise the people don't understand. Prof. L. M. Hershaw is a high-class scholar. As an educator he is up to date. He would make a supervisor in one of the school divisions that would be an honor to the public school system. **** Who wouldn't like to see Mrs. Anna Murray a member of the Board of Education? She has the school system at her finger ends. **** Now, if you think that Todd will cease his agitation, you are mistaken. He is full of vim and declares that the next Congress will see a school petition two miles long. Ashby Hawkins is a candidate for the Senate. His fight reminds me of the dog in the manger. It is just as impossible for him to be elected to the Senate as it will be for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle. What does he hope to gain? The colored men and women in Maryland who vote for him will be casting a vote for the Democratic ticket. At this time every colored American in Maryland of voting age should support the Republican ticket. REPUBLICAN CLUB The National Conference of Republican Clubs which was held under the auspices of the Women's Republican League, October 14 and 15, at John Wesley Church, was a decided success. The program consisted of instructive addresses by Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, the president of the league, and several of its members. Mrs. Terrell made an eloquent address on this occasion. She told the audience assembled of the great work which is being done by the women of the Eastern States and urged the delegates assembled to vote the straight The Best Place to Eat Josepn S.

The Women's Republican Club strongly indorses Harding, Coolidge and the entire Republican ticket. Mrs. Logan, Tucker represented the Republican Headquarters and spoke with much enthusiasm and hope of the election of Harding and Coolidge. The discussion which followed was participated in by the visiting delegates and visiting friends of the association. Mesdames Layton and Hamilton were the presiding officers for the two days' conference. 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.

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.

Cunningham. As your paper is very widely read throughout the United States, and because the approaching national election is near at hand, I beg space in its valuable columns to say a few words to the many voters in the States and to those here in the Government departments in Washington Twas the poet Kipling who wrote: "Lord, be with us yet, lest we forget, lest we forget." But you, colored voters, will have to pray the opposite prayer, and ask God to help us to forget some of the injustices that have been heaped upon us by some of our so-called friends, for lo! these many years. Let's try to forget them if only for one more day, November 2, in order to join with the millions, of other sensible Americans who then will strive by their ballots to put this present damnable administration out of business. You have very often noticed the sign on old business places which reads thus: "This place is now under new management." So I plead, with tears in my eyes, that the colored men and women stand by Harding and Coolidge so that after March 4 next a similar sign may be placed OUR REPAIR and each piece of jewelry leaving our season the most fashionable and city, comprising all the leading br the prettiest and the best regulate the Metropolis; these to be apprec W.

C. any proposition and would be glad to received one at the gate of the White House which will read thus: "This place is now under new management." It is said that when the African lion roars, his terrific voice swells over hill and valley, filling a circle six miles in diameter, and that every living thing within that circle, whether man or beast, trembles at the sound. So the men and women are going to make a noise on November 2. They, like the lion, are going to roar, and their voices will be heard from Maine to California and from the Lakes to the Gulf. And Cox and Roosevelt will tremble at the sound. It will be a sound that will ring in the ears of the little Democrats yet unborn. Colored voters, if there ever was a time to stand shoulder to shoulder in a political fight, that time is now. So, Lord, be, with us yet, lest we forget to forget the past injustices heaped upon us. It is said that the Republican party is the ship and all else is the sea. And 'twas the Apostle Paul who said to the crew on his tempestuous voyage. "Except ye abide in the ship ye can not be saved." You, voters, are on the old Republican ship which is being rocked by the tempestuous storms of the Democrats; and except you abide in the ship, Harding and Coolidge, even with their millions of supporters, can not be saved.

Remember, h at You ters he would do for the colored race. Did Wilson live up to his promises? I need not answer the question, for every man and woman of you know that he did not. Bishop Walters gained the ennity of many of his best colored friends because of his loyalty to President Wilson. He was marked with the mark of Cain by many of his race, and doubtless that was one of the things which helped to shorten his days on earth. Vote the Republican ticket. Vote for Harding and Coolidge; for a vote for Cox means a vote for a "third term" for Wilson in the White House. Even a goodly number of Southern people are against Wilson and Cox. W. J. Bryan is doing absolutely nothing for the election of the Democratic ticket, and with Bryan against it and a part of the South against it, that's enough to make angels weep over even the thought of its success. Now, as was to be expected, the threat is made that the colored women in the South will not be allowed to vote any more than the colored men who have been unjustly disfranchised. Pity it is that there's a section in this country, which is allowed to trample the Federal Constitution under foot and no notice is taken of it. But the colored men and women are going to vote. Let them go quietly and peaceably to the polls, and if they be denied their Godgiven and constitutional right to cast their ballots, the leading colored men, backed by the white Republicans, if there be any white Republicans in that section of the country, should have boxes on the ground ready to receive all of the "rejected" votes. And when the polls are closed, these boxes should be sealed and sent to Washington by men delegated for that mission and placed in the hands of the Speaker of the House of Representatives, who will have them carefully counted. Thus we will vote. We will be heard in this great fight for the preservation of this republic. November. 2 will tell the story, which will be a sad one if there be a repetition of the political fight in 1916. Every colored man and woman who can vote should vote on November 2. And when you get that ballot in hand remember the damnable treatment of Bishop Walters; remember the damnable segregation and discrimination against the race; remember the jim-crow cars for decent and loyal colored Americans; and don't forget the 3,250 helpless colored people shot down, like so many dogs, by the American Marines in Haiti, under this Wilson adminis- --- Watermelons Just Ripe to Cut DEMOCRATIC NEGRO VOTE REPUBLICAN PARTY W. Russell tration. Vote, votel "For the victory may depend on you." His Whole Policy as Governor Toward Colored Citizen Has Been Inimical to Welfare. When Governor Cox, on coming from his White House conference, declared that he and the President "were in complete accord," he thereby gave his approval to the policy of Woodrow Wilson and Secretary of War Baker in excluding the colored soldiers from entering the National Guard of the Nation. When Governor Cox at Columbus refused a parade and review of the black soldiers returning from the great World War, he had this same policy. When he declared in stentorian tones on his Western tour, "This is a white man's country," he gave further proof that he did not consider colored citizens part and parcel of the nation. Out of the four Yankee regiments that won the Croix de Guerre on Flanders' Fields, three were black Yankee regiments. No more heroic part in the bloodiest battles with the Germans was taken than by the black militia regiments and parts of regiments from Massachusetts, New York and Ohio. Famous Company L of the "Old Bay State" won signal honors for its heroism and sacrifice, and returned home to receive the grateful homage of the children of the Puritans. It was naturally and proudly concluded by them that Company L would take its place again in the National Guard of Massachusetts. But President Wilson and his colleagues had other plans. Under the reorganization of the army, they decreed that no black men should enter the National Guard as of yore except as pioneer units. "Pioneer regiment" is the euphonious name for the scullion, sanitary and construction regiment. When, therefore, Governor Coolidge, the Republican candidate for Vice-President, requested that Company L be part of the Massachusetts brigade as an infantry unit, Secretary of War Baker issued his infamous ultimatum. Despite the pleas of Coolidge and the friends throughout the nation of the black soldier, despite the grateful pleas of hosts of Americans who appreciated the bloody and vital service of the six hundred thousand colored citizens who wore khaki in the World War and helped to make the world safe for democracy, Woodrow Wilson and his Secretary of War coldly turned those pleas down. And Governor Cox says he is in complete accord. By Phil H. Brown. Chicago, Ill., October 20.—The forbearing public is holding its nose and reaching for its gas mask, because the Democratic burrowing carnivore, conforming to the predisposition of its counterpart in natural history, is driven to desperation and is beginning to emit noxious odors. One of the unfailing signs of Democratic desperation is when the cry goes up of "Negro domination." The whipped Hun cried "Kamarad." but the cornered Democrat and the skunk, alike in many things, perfume the air with noxious gases and filth from nether sources. Witness the effort that is being made by the authorities in the Democratic party and prated by Candidate Cox himself in reference to the miserable bugbear of social equality and Negro domination. Observe the effort to pillory white men who have been even just to the Negro. Watch the wanton propaganda to array the workingmen of the races against each other, all over the signature of the Democratic State Executive Committee of Ohio. The deft and glib manner in which that committee refers to our prominent women as Negresses is not only an insult to colored American citizenship, but a slap in the face of all American citizenship. No underhand effort of the Reds could be more directly contrary to the spirit of American institutions. Berkman and Goldman were deported for crimes such as the Democratic Committee are committing in sheer desperation of desire to prolong their rule of ruin, extravagance and racial injustice. But It Is All Right. One of the best evidences of the prevailing fact that the Democrats are whipped is the publication of the miserable circular by the Ohio Executive Committee of that party, trying to stir up racial hatred. There never was a time when the Democrats were whipped that they did not resort to the cry of "Negro domination." And as a simple suggestion of Democratic consistency, while the Cox committee in Ohio is screaming against Negro domination and low-grading Negro womanhood, their candidate for Senator in the neighboring State of Indiana is falling on his knees begging for Negro votes on the ground that he used to "sling dash" with them. But it is all right; the signs are right. The Democrats are running true to form. Their cry is the squeal of the coward, driven to the corner. Withal, the disgraceful reference over its signature against the race will solidify the colored people and nauseate the justice-loving white people. Bubble of Negro Domination. An appeal for simple justice can not be construed as a desire to dominate. The Negro in this country has never felt any such desire. He holds out for an equal opportunity, such as the Constitution has granted him and the Democrats have denied him. He asks only that the modus vivendi accorded to all American citizens be given to him. But this is the insult that the Democratic Executive Committee of Ohio offers to the intelligence of the entire American electorate: "Ohioans should remember that the time has come when we must handle this problem in somewhat the same way as the South is handling it, and in such a way bring greater contentment to both whites and Negroes. We should remember what history tells us of the dark days when Negroes controlled the government in the South, the enormous expenditures and debts incurred, the indignities heaped upon white women and children, the vicious attempt of the South Carolina Negro Legislature to give every Negro forty acres of land and a mule. "Men and women of Ohio! Rally to the ballot box and give such a verdict as will forever rid Ohio of this menace to yourselves and your children." This pronunciamento will be repudiated by every well-meaning citizen in the United States, it matters not whether he is white or black, woman or man, Jew or Gentile. VISITORS IN GEORGETOWN.

BUREAU OF HOMES FOR COLORED PEOPLE You will find printed in another section of this paper a coupon entitled "Bureau of Homes for Colored," which you are asked to fill in and return, as they are making a canvass of the city to ascertain the extent of the home shortage. If you are the owner or know of anyone else who has any real estate which can be sold to colored, you are asked to help in this campaign. Exorbitant rents and the question of possession are serious questions and can only be solved by owning your own home. This bureau has in its files a great number of low and medium priced homes which can be sold on very reasonable terms, and in some instances the monthly payments will be even less than the rentals now asked by profiteering landlords. A plan has been worked out whereby the purehaser can secure a home on a very small cash deposit and will be given sixty or ninety days to make the balance of a very reasonable cash payment. The monthly payments are made to include both principal and interest and are paid like rent. There are a large number of valuable vacant homes, and your cooperation will be the means of making happy homeowners out of people who have paid rent for years and have nothing to show for their payments.
