HARDING AND COOLIDGE.
Just as The Bee Predicted Six Weeks
Ago—It Predicted the Death of the
League of Nations—Republicans
Not Through Counting—The Ku-
klux Party Goes Down in Defeat.
The election of Harding and Coolidge is a vindication of the contention of the Republican party against the League of Nations. It will be remembered, The Bee six weeks ago made the predition that the League of Nations would be buried and the Republican party would win. The files of The Bee will fully vindicate its prediction.
The bolters in States such as Maryland, Virginia and other places received poor consolation. In Maryland, where the self-nominated candidate for the Senate, Ashby Hawkins, made his fight, he was lost in the shuffle. Hawkins is no man.
Never in the history of politics has there ever been such an upheaval. The Democratic prophets were just as much of failures as they are notorious. The defeat of the Ku-Klux party will go down in history as did others in the days of antiquity, who were traitors to their country and beasts to civilization.
Clean Sweep for G. O. P. Indicated as Senator Smith Is Defeated by Weller.
Baltimore, Md., November 2. Returns at 1 o'clock this morning indicate a clean sweep for Republican candidate for President in Maryland. Senator Harding has carried the State by probably 20,000 majority. O. E. Weller, Republican, has been elected United States Senator over Senator John Walter Smith. The latter is running behind Governor Cox.
The contest in the third congressional district between Colonel John Philip Hill and Congressman Coady is close. A. A. Blakeney, Republican, has a decided leer over Congressman Carville B. Benson in the second district. Congressman Mudd has won in the fifth district. Congressman Zihlman's victory in the sixth district is assured by a large majority.
The latest returns from Baltimore city, early this morning show that out of 100 percincts so far in, a total of 323 precincts. Harding is leading Cox by over 4,000 majority. In the counties, Allegheny gave the largest Republican majority ever before known. Washington and Frederick counties have also gone heavily Republican. In Southern Maryland every county gave good Republican majorities. On the Eastern Shore, Somerset, Dorchester, Talbot and Kent returned Republican majorities. The usual Democratic counties, Worcester, Cecil, Wicomico, Caroline and Queen Anne gave Cox majorities, but these were considerably cut away below normal. Carroll, Hartford and Montgomery, it is believed, will give Democratic majorities. The vote was heavy beyond precedent, owing to the great number of women voters. Women this year

comprised about two-fifths of the electorate in Baltimore city.
Throughout the day rumors of the proportions of the "cutting" done by the city Democrats to Senator John Walter Smith grew apace. Not only was Senator Smith cut by the John Mahon faction of the Democratic party in the city, but by a good many independent Democrats, who voted for the national ticket.
It is believed that the four city loans will be passed, though many voters differentiated between the loans, voting for some and against others. The public improvement loan was the most popular.
Governor Smith went down with his man Friday, Ashby Hawkins.
Cox carried Alexandria, Va., but lost Arlington, Va.
He carried Mississippi and lost Illinois, Ohio, and other great States.
What became of the States that Cox said he would carry?
REV. WILLBANKS HONORED IN 24TH ANNIVERSARY
The twenty-fourth anniversary of the Tenth Street Baptist Church. Tenth and R streets northwest, and the fourth anniversary of the pastor, Dr. Alexander Willbanks, were celebrated in the main auditorium of the church Monday night, in the presence of a large and highly appreciative audience. After the devotional exercises had been conducted by Dr. A. Barton and others, Dr. Willbanks, in his usual happy vein, introduced the tall cedar of the forest in the person of Dr. M. W. D. Norman, pastor of the Metropolitan Baptist

WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY. NOVEMBER 6, 1920
kins was the founder and first pastor of the church. He served for six or seven years, and that he was succeeded by the present pastor, Dr. Alexander Wilbanks, who had done more to build up the congregation than any of his predecessors. She said that the church had grown from the small membership, when he took charge, to its present membership of twelve hundred. She was followed by Trustee Wilton Banks, who made a brief but one of the best speeches of the evening. He reported the church to be in good financial condition. He said that no Baptist Church in Washington ought to ever be sold for debt, as many Baptists as there are in the District of Columbia. They should come to the rescue of any church that was threatened to be sold for debt. Mrs. Bertha Loving told of a vision which she had some years ago, in which she saw Dr. Willbanks come to the pastorate of the Tenth Street Church, and related what a great blessing he has been to the church, because he was a God-sent pastor.
The master of ceremonies then introduced Dr. S. Geriah Lamkins, the former pastor of the church, who complimented the speakers of the evening and the church upon its twenty-fourth and the pastor upon his fourth anniversary, and said that he was delighted to hear of their prosperity. He spoke in high praise of both church and pastor, and said that Dr. Willbanks had been his choice as pastor for the church. He related that he mortgaged his property to purchase the building when the church did not have a dime in its treasury, and turned the property over to the trustees of the church without asking or receiving any compensation for what he had done. He referred to other improvements which he had succeeded in making at the church during his pastorate, including the running of electric current into the building. He said that most of the persons who had taken part in the program of the evening were those who came in during his administration. He congratulated them for being so true and loyal to their present pastor. EIGHT—Bee
Other speakers during the evening were Rev. James Robinson, Rev. J. L. Davis, Rev. J. H. Marshall, Rev. G. W. Jackson, Rev. J. L. Garfield, Dr. W. H. Jernigan and others.
After the exercises in the main autorium were over, the pastor led the other pastors of the city and their wives and the large congregation to the lecture room, where a bountious supper was served by Mrs. Shorts, Mrs. Walls and the other ladies of the committee.
Too much praise can not be given to the choir, led by Prof. Kelly, the splendid duet of Mrs. Hall and friend, and the solo by Miss Simms. It was a delightful occasion.
JUST PENSIONED.
A Worthy Woman Rewarded.
Mrs. Maria E; Adams, of this city who has just been pensioned by Mr George W. Stevens, president of the C. and O. railroad, and Mr. Thornton Lewis, president of the White Sulphur Springs Company, in recognition of her faithful forty years' service at the Springs, has had further appreciation shown to her and incidentally to the company who so generously remembered her, in the
shape of a testimonial surprise party, arranged in her honor last Tuesday evening and given in one of the spacious parlors of the "Old White" by her fellow-workers in the White and the Greenbrier. Miss Pattie Jackson, of Washington, was the instigator of this party and was active in arranging the program. Mrs. Alice Steward, whose mother has been a lifelong friend of Mrs. Adams, contributed songs to the program, and an original paper on "Loyalty" was read by Mrs. Mary C. Rose, of Lexington, V. Mrs. Cora A. Wilder was mistress of ceremonies. The room was beautifully decorated with bright autumn leaves by Eugene Bland, husband of one of the ladies, who helped make the affair a success. It was a complete surprise to Mrs. Adams.
Mrs. Adams received many handsome gifts and responded feelingly. Few can show such a wonderful record as Mrs. Adams and an interesting feature of her residence is that she expects to cast her first vote here before leaving next month for Washington.

HOWARD VS. LINCOLN ON THANKSGIVING DAY
The approach of Thanksgiving Day quickens interest in the football contest between Howard and Lincoln to be played at the American League Park. So far these rivals are undefeated. Every game they play may be considered a training test and every victory a dawning hope. Thus as the days and weeks go by the other contending collegiate teams are becoming fewer, thereby narrowing the race for the intercollegiate championship to these two foremost universities. Thanksgiving Day promises not only to stage this classic event, but also to be a day of social interest

because of the throng of visitors from various sections of the country, who plan to witness this game. Already Howard fans are organizing in Norfolk, Philadelphia, New York, Richmond, Baltimore, Charleston, W. Va., and Atlantic City to make special provisions for transportation and reservation at the park. In order to encourage such spirit and to create a strong support for the Howard eleven, unusual arrangements have been made to reserve seats for such groups. The student bodies of the two universities will occupy separate pavilions in order to organize enthusiasm and to urge each respective team in the contest.
MUTUAL HOUSING CO., INC.
While the housing situation among the colored people of the Capital City is very serious, it is very gratifying to us to note the progress made by the Mutual Housing Company in the way of acquiring for our people more and better houses and apartments. Some time ago this splendid company purchased the Luray apartment house at 1320-22 R street northwest. Now we are told that another much larger apartment house has just been bought by this company. The company, though young, has demonstrated its worthiness to live. Because of the splendid work this company is doing and planning to do, it should have the support of the good people of Washington. Stock in the Mutual Housing Company is now on the market and can be bought at $12.50 per share. The company invests in improved real estate only, which makes the investment absolutely safe. Persons wishing to invest in the stock of this com-
pany should call at the main office, 1232 U street, or should see one of the company's agents, whose names and addresses are here given: Thomas Frazier, vice-president and agent, 723 T street northwest; C. C. James, 1619 Twelfth street northwest; Miss Virginia Williams, 1523 Corcoran street northwest; William R. Jones, 419 Oakdale street northwest; Norvin Crawford, 1710 Johnson street northwest; Mrs. Julia Williams, 1429 S street northwest; Joseph F. Zimmerman, 1614 Corcoran street northwest; Arthur E. Brooks, 2317 H street northwest, or one of the other many agents representing the company. Weekly meetings of the stockholders are held every Friday night at the main office, 1232 U street. The public is cordially invited to attend all these meetings.
FOLK SONG SINGERS
The Afro-American Folk Song Singers of this city, with Henry Lee Grant, leader, gave to the people of Bethlehem, Pa., a wonderful recital. Everyone was well pleased.
DUDLEY IN CINCINNATI.
S. H. Dudley, the well-known theatrical promoter has gone to Cincinnati to attend a meeting of the Western managers of his circuit. Mr. Dudley is the only colored booking agent in the world, and he owns and controls more theatres than any one man of his race, and hopes to have another added to his circuit, as the Douglass Theatre is soon to be erected on U street, promoted by the Dudley-Murray United Theatre Corporation. They are now selling stock in this beautiful theatre, and anyone wishing to buy stock should apply to Mr. Thos. Calloway, 1339 U street northwest.

Several New York colored newspapers have been advocating the secession of Ireland from the United Kingdom. These papers do not present any formal argument on this important subject, but employ assumption, implication, hint and suggestion. The purpose of these papers is, no doubt, both to test the stomach of the colored race and to make goo-goo eyes at a group of New York Irish. Plainly, it is a move in the direction of a political alliance between the sons of Africa and the sons of Erin in the United States. We have been waiting to ascertain the precise nature of the proposed alliance, and the desired information has not been made public. As the matter now stands, these papers have practically assured the Irish that the colored people favor their aspiration for Irish independence, and have practically warned Great Britain that the colored people of the United States are her political enemies.
The Bee does not pretend to be the sole mouthpiece of the colored people of this country, but we feel safe in saying that these New York papers cannot deliver the goods; that our colored people are not the avowed enemies of Great Britain, and that they are neutral on the question of the present attempted Irish secession.
It will be time to discuss the question in detail whenever some serious argument is advanced to show that the colored people should espouse the cause of the Irish secessionists. Until that time it would be useless, gratuitous and probably impolitic to discuss the question. It is sufficient to say here that in the United States the sons of Ireland have for the most part allied themselves with the Democratic party in the North, which party is the appanage and tool of the slave-holding and Negro-hating Solid South; that in the labor unions they have for the most part been conspicuous among those who would deny colored men the equal privilege of employment with equal remuneration, and that, in short, the Irish in America have not usually been regarded by anyone as the especial friends of the colored people. We regret that this is true, and we hope that it will not continue to be true.
The Irish are a people possessing many noble qualities. They are warm-hearted and impulsive. Some of our best friends have been Irishmen. An Irish Republican is usually true blue. It is a curious phenomenon that the Irish immigrants to America have for the most part elected to ally themselves politically with the most disreputable of our population of British descent, the Southern enemies of universal freedom. Of all men, the Irish ought to be the friends of the oppressed everywhere.
Whenever and wherever the Irish in America evince a desire to meet colored men half-way with a view to the emancipation of both races, they will doubtless meet with a cordial reception.
RELIGION.
Houston in the Crisis attack the Negro colleges. We und Harvard. The editor of the Cus at Harvard. Both these ged. Harvard does not stress hed with Unitarianism; second, self-sufficiency.
Prof. G. David Houston in the Crisis attacks the practice of teaching religion in the Negro colleges. We understand that Mr. Houston studied at Harvard. The editor of the Crisis got some of his finishing touches at Harvard. Both these gentlemen acknowledge to being colored. Harvard does not stress heavily on religion. First, she is tinctured with Unitarianism; second, she is an atmosphere of intellectual self-sufficiency.
People who dwell in such an atmosphere call themselves "intellectuals." Intellectuals do not require any form of dogmatic religion for themselves. However, intellectuals who are really such recognize the theory that the great body of mankind require the mental and spiritual admonition and restraint of religion. This is not because it is some special accepted system of doctrine, but because it embodies beliefs, precepts and practices that make for morality and good citizenship.
Nobody knows this better than a real intellectual, and an intellectual who is a sensible and good man will concede the wisdom of, and even advocate, the teaching of religion to the great majority of people, especially to the youth.
The Christian religion is the prevailing religion in America, and the fact is, ours is a Christian land. It is the only religion to be thought of for the youth in our land.
When the Northern whites began to found churches, schools and colleges for the colored people in the South, they had observed that the prevailing Christianity in the South was but a crude travesty on the accepted Christianity of Protestant England and the North. The Christianity of the more refined Southern whites had become paganized by the "necessity" for apologizing for slavery. That of the poor whites and the blacks was little better than a superstition of beliefs and a buffoonery of practices.
One of the main objects of the Northern people in founding those churches, schools and colleges was a religious object. The wisdom of that object has been demonstrated by the wonderful results. Who has ever witnessed an old-time "cracker" white camp meeting service or an old-time colored church service knows them only as a curious picture of the memory. They are past or passing. That was the main purpose of the Christian Negro college. It helped both races in the South. Both now have more morality and more polish.
It is commonly believed that the best New England sentiment—even that among the non-spiritual Unitarians—approved the prevailing policy for the conduct of the Negro colleges. When people of that sentiment give money for those colleges they give it with that understanding. Who has the presumption to interfere with that policy?
Religious teachings and religious models in the Negro colleges are not solely for the benefit of the students there, but also for the benefit of the less-enlightened communities in which the majority of those students will serve as teachers and preachers. These colleges are normal schools—model schools, as it were.
It is strange that Mr. Houston and the editor of the Crisis do

CHURCH SERVICE WHERE NO WORDS ARE SPOKEN
On frequent Sundays a band of worshipers meet at Trinity Episcopal Church, at Third and C streets northwest, and in other Episcopal Churches for special ewsong. There is absolute silence during the entire service and not one voice is raised in praise, prayer or song, and yet the attendants do praise and pray and sing most devoutly. For it is the special service for the deaf mutes of Washington, held under the auspices of the Episcopal Mission to the Deaf.
Generally a Bible class precedes the service itself, and recently a pathetic scene, was enacted during one of the Bible class sessions. The deaf mutes, or the people of silence, as they prefer to be called, were seated around a table listening to the teacher, who was spelling the lesson of the day rapidly to them on his fingers. In a nearby room the church choir was singing the hymns and carols of the regular evensong. Only a few feet divided the two congregations, but one did not hear one word of what was going on in the next room. The silence was almost audible as the minister read the service by the means of hand motion, each auditor following the motion with his eyes. It was noticeable that the congregation of mutes did not kneel or bow their heads, because it was necessary to watch the priest to gather what he was saying.
Besides the regular sessions held by the Episcopal diocese, Gallaudet College, the college for work among the deaf, does not forget its members on Sunday, and a well-organized Sunday School is largely attended. In the afternoon and evening there are prayer meetings, and at these meetings the pupils are, often inspired to rise and say a prayer on their fingers for those present:
The peculiar feature about the work among the mutes is the fact that the religious force which gave them a language now provides them with teachers and ministers from among their own ranks.
The noble work of Dr. Gallaudet and his associates in the founding of Gallaudet College is a romance of modern times known to Washingtonians. Actuated as these men were by religious motives, it is not strange that among our most devout and religious citizens are the deaf mutes who have studied under them.
As much of the work of education of the deaf mute originated in Washington, so did the early missionary deaf mute work. Early in the sixties the Rev. Thomas Gallaudet, a son of the founder of deaf mute education in America, directed his attention toward the establishment of religious services for the deaf. He inaugurated a plan for establishing deaf mute missions in the most populous cities of the country.
About 1859 the Washington deal mutes saw their first church service. The first service for the deaf was held in the Church of the Ascension, Dr. J. H. Eliot, rector. Dr. Gallaudet was able to come to Washington only occasionally for a number of years. Other missionaries, the late Rev. Job Turner, the Rev. H. W. Slye, the Rev. A. W. Mann and the Rev. J. M. Koehler, frequently visited and held services in Washington. About 1885 a permanent organization was formed and a weekly Bible class started, Certain students of the Gallaudet College, then known as the National Deaf Mute College, at Kendall Green, took charge of the class. Most of the adult mutes in this city are employees of the Government, generally as printers, a trade for which they show a wonderful aptitude.
New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Chicago, Boston and even some of the Southern cities of Virginia and North Carolina have services, and regularly ordained ministers for the dead mutes of the colored race.
Washington has none whatever. Shall it stay so?
WOMEN'S REPUBLICAN LEAGUE AT ASBURY
The anniversary month celebration of Asbury M. E. Church is meeting with marked success. Last Thursday was Woman's Day. In celebration of this great event a large mass meeting of more than three hundred Republican women was held at the church under the auspices of the Women's Republican League. Among those who spoke were the pastor of the church, Rev. Julius Carroll; Mrs. Virginia White Speel, who is in charge of women's activities in the District; Mrs. M. Madre Marshall; Mrs. M. W. Clair, and Rev. Marshall.
The occasion was enlivened with several patriotic selections by the well-trained choir of Asbury, under the masterful leadership of Mr. Woody Johnson, with Mrs. Theresa Dixon as organist.
It was truly a Harding and Coolidge house. They were unanimously indorsed by the entire audience.
After the entertainment the audience was cordially invited to the lecture room, where those present enjoyed the sumptuous repast which had been prepared by the ladies of the church.
In the absence of the president, Mrs. M. C. Terrell, who is at her headquarters in New York, working with the women of the East, Mrs. M. W. Clair presided.
YO' MAMMY'S LAP.
Climb up in yo'mammy's lap,
For yo' lids am blinkin'.
And lay yo' head upon her arm,
While she tells you what she's thinkin'.
Close dem dreamy eyes of yo's,
My little desert rose,
'Cause you know de Lord am wid you
Every place you goes.
Every place you goes.
When de shadows start to creepin'
Round yo' mammy's head,
Remember, precious chile o' mine,
Just what yo' mammy said.
Don't let no evil feelin's
Come stealin' in yo' heart,
But keep de thoughts of lovin' angels,
Let de rest stay far apart.
And-when dat day of meetin' comes
When again I'll see yo face.
Let dem sweet lips still be smilin',

We stood and gazed at the likeness Of one who holdly stood
Of one who boldly stood
Strong for the Grand Old Party—
For all—and its general good.
Dear face! What noble lineaments—
An asset which gold never buys,

And fights for the safety of our sons
Against all foreign powers.

And Woman's Suffrage he defends

TRIANGLE PRINTING
COMPANY
1109 EYE STREET N. W.
Recently we took occasion to decry the indulgencies and extravagances of our colored people. Our observations have been confined mainly to the colored people of Washington. It is true that in Washington City the salaries and wages of employed colored men and women are not large, but they are, what they are. A man should cut his garment according to his cloth, and a woman, too. If a man or a class of people have small wealth and, besides, receive small wages, it means that that man or class is poor.
The first object of poor people, after satisfying necessary personal wants, is to lay up a store of wealth. For an individual a store of wealth means the possession of a surplus of money, or of goods, or of houses and lands, which may constitute a source of income in the form of rents or interest, or which may be employed as capital for the conducting of a factory, store or the like. For a group of people, as, for instance, a race or class, a store of wealth means the same thing, in a measure, except that it usually supposes a combination of capital for the conducting of enterprises too large for a single individual to handle.
In proportion to the wages and salaries received by the colored people of Washington, they do not enjoy all the personal comforts they should have; they do not own as many homes as they should; they do not possess as many privately owned stores and shops as they should; they have not enough money in bank as they should have that is available for investment in co-operative corporations.
The small number of business corporations controlled by the colored people of this city is a particular discredit. There is not one that is conducting a factory or wholesale store, and if there is a company that is conducting a retail store it is a small, insignificant and struggling affair. We have here one single small bank, which, however creditable, is not only not adequately patronized, but is scarcely a drop in the bucket when we consider the banking needs and opportunities of the colored people here.
It is true that our local congregational church bodies (such as the Baptists) are corporate bodies, as well as several local beneficial orders, but they do nothing to advance the material wealth of the communities; they make no wealth, save no wealth. They are a liability, not a financial asset. The one class of these corporations is to coach the people for Heaven; the other to aid them when they are sick (because they are so improvident and poor) and to bury them expensively when they die.
We are not in the confidence of the Creator or of Nature, and do not presume to assert for what purpose mankind was made to inhabit the earth, but we are quite certain that the sole purpose was not to stimulate the population of Heaven or to be perpetually preparing for sickness and burial.
Recently we have observed signs of activity on the part of some colored people of Washington to organize co-operative business corporations; but most of these are designed not so much to increase the wealth of the colored masses as to encourage them in habits of pleasure and unthrift. We refer to corporations to build or operate theatres, dance halls, cabarets and the like. We do not condemn these, for, if the colored population insist on spending hundreds of thousands yearly for such pleasures, they ought preferably to spend it with places conducted by members of their own class group. But this is another story.
It is regretable to perceive that our few colored men and women of means do not appear to take much interest in the forming of corporations, or joint stock companies, such as would tend to advance the material interest of the whole colored population. One reason for this apparent lack of interest doubtless lies in the fear that the colored masses could not be depended on to patronize colored stores; they fear that they would continue to prefer to patronize any white establishments from which they were not excluded, or in which they were not too much jim-crowed.
It is a notorious fact that the only kinds of business establishments in Washington appealing specially to colored people that have had a great measure of success have been only those that have offered colored people accommodations to which they were not welcomed in similar white establishments. Among these are drug stores, barber shops, restaurants, dental parlors, photograph parlors, bath houses, pool rooms, dance halls and complexion and hair parlors. Almost any other kind of colored-conducted business establishment has been a serious financial risk, and for the reason here intimated.
But we are wandering from our original point, which is extravagance. A cure of this extravagance will be the first step toward the general wealth of the colored people of Washington. When that cure is effected, our colored people will not have to depend on colored men of distant cities to come here and erect their business buildings, as recently a Richmond company did. Do Richmond colored people earn more money than those of Washington? No; but they save more; they make better use of what they save. They have more sense!
We have pointed out a real evil—an actual disgrace. (There is no cure for past waste. The only recourse is to prevent its continuance. Here is the method:
Let them put more money in banks—preferably colored banks.
Let them establish at least ten small banks of their own in different sections of Washington, and half as many building associations.
The banks will, if properly patronized, soon be able to lend money to start colored business enterprises.
The building associations will soon be able to assist members to purchase or build homes.
Both the banks and the associations will be able to finance construction companies operated by colored men.
In the meantime, small groups of colored men and women, with the money saved up in the banks and building associations, will have money with which to form corporations for all sorts of business enterprises.
The key to the situation is to cut out waste and extravagance. Wear the old clothes a year longer; leave out the silk stockings and fur coats; a little less joy riding.
A penny sayed is a penny made. Many a nickel make a muckel. Little drops of water, little grains of sand, make the mighty ocean and the mighty land—because they are combined. United we stand; divided we fall.
A fool and his money soon part.
It is unfortunately true that most persons are quite unprepared to admit the deficiencies of their own powers of observation and memory.

The defeat of the Ku-Kluz party (pseudo Democratic party) in 1920 ought to portend the dissolution of that party as a national party. It is a stench in the Nation's nostrils. It is an obstacle to progress and civilization. It is a mockery of Christianity and humanity. It is the apotheosis of indecency.
The scurrilous and contemptible tactics of that party in the late campaign, with the design of profiting by an assumed repugnance of the white people generally for the colored race, are unfit for specific notice in our columns. Those tactics prove conclusively what we have heretofore contended, that the proper designation of the pretended "Democratic" party is the Ku-Klux party.
The Ku-Klux party, not content with the control of 1,000,000 stolen ballots—ballots, of colored voters in the Solid South—attempted on the eve of the election, by deliberate and systematic lying, to secure a more than corresponding advantage at the North. It was a daring appeal to prejudice against the colored people. The scheme failed. The slanderers were hoisted by their own petard. The answer of the North was a no uncertain rebuke.
The Ku-Klux party should disband.

As The Bee stated last week in an editorial that the Democratic party was a party of Ku-Kluxism and would resort to any method to carry its point, never in the history of politics has such diabolical methods been resorted to as was demonstrated in this campaign. What colored man could vote or support such a party, The Bee would like to know? One would presume that the colored Americans were as dangerous as the most deadly poison; and yet when the country is in danger the black man is the first to be drafted for service. Dangerous as he is, it is so strange that he is used as a cook to handle the food of his traducers, and yet no one is poisoned. It is strange that he is placed in positions of trust and yet no one is short.
The charge is that someone has colored blood, as if to say for that reason he should be defeated: How many Southern Senators, members of Congress and other Southern dignitaries have colored blood? How many so-called white men in the South today have colored blood in their veins? How many so-called Southern men who are posing as white men are without colored blood?
William E. Chancellor wrote to the editor of The Bee on one occasion and declared that the word "Negro" should be capitalized, thus showing that he had the highest respect for the colored American. This attitude is now of the past, and the day will come when he will be on one side of Hades and the colored man on the other; but the colored man will be protected by the faith of God.
The American people have spoken in no uncertain tone. The Democratic party is related to Hades and the imps therein are its offsprings.
HOW LINK JOHNSON TRIED TO BLOCK THE BOOKER WASHINGTON DINNER.
The selection of Henry Lincoln Johnson, the "Lowden $9,000 Georgia Peach," to direct colored voters in the North has served to call to memory here Johnson's efforts to prevent colored men from giving a dinner to the late Booker Washington at the old Arlington Hotel here. Those familiar with the incidents of that dinner recall that, although Johnson had met with the committee, consisting of high government colored officials here, and had consented to be one of the diners, he later went to the White House and attempted to interest Hillis, then secretary to President Taft, to prevent the dinner from being given at the Arlington Hotel, because that was a white hotel—his argument being that if colored men went to the Arlington for a dinner it would cause friction between whites and colored in Washington. Unknown to Johnson, perhaps, his statements made to prevent the giving of the dinner at the Arlington, although the proprietor of that hostelry had offered no objection to colored men, were taken down and later sent by Secretary Hillis to be read by William H. Lewis, then Assistant Attorney General, and others associated with the giving of the dinner. These men replied to Mr. Hillis' letter, stating that the proprietor of the Arlington Hotel knew Dr. Washington was colored; knew that the gentlemen who called to see him to make arrangements for the dinner were colored men, and had not declined to serve them, but on the contrary had offered to serve them in any of the banquet rooms of the Arlington they selected; and this being true, they had a perfect right, as American citizens, to go to the Arlington. In spite of Johnson's efforts to keep the dinner from the Arlington, it was given there, and the proprietor highly praised the conduct of the men who attended, the guests being colored professional and business men of Washington and government officials. Johnson,
although he had in the onset agreed to be one of the diners, not only did not attend, but it is said never paid his assessment. Colored men in Washington are wondering how a man of this type will please the colored voters in the North as their "director."

It is more than amusing to listen to the howl of some colored agitators and their cry of what they want and what they intend to do. These howlers are nothing more than national beggars and suppliants.
This recalls the agitation that is being made by a few jacklegs as to "Negro colleges" and who should manage them. One so-called colored agitator, who has as much sense in his heels as he has in his head, declares that Negro colleges under white management are failures and that colored men should manage their own colleges. The Bee would like to know just how long those colleges managed by colored men would exist and just how many in a century could be erected. Colored people—two-thirds of them—depend entirely upon the support they receive from white people to enable them to exist. A majority of them, as a correspondent stated in last-week's issue of The Bee, are nothing more than place-hunters. If the president of Howard University would clean out his stables and get rid of that rotten timber he has around there, he will be convinced that the sanitary surroundings would be better. The president of Howard University is a man among men, and the mossbacks will be convinced of this fact before long, and colored dependents will have to work to carve out their own independence.
A POLITICAL BLUNDER.
Southern colored politicians should be and run a political bureau for the North. The colored vote is a political factor, is because voters. Henry Lincoln Johnson, of has never cast a Republican electoral vote and Eve, has been placed in charge of bureau to solidify the colored vote, while, of Chicago, Louis A. Anderson anditative colored Republicans in the State. Ohio, where some of the stronthe country reside, has not been conCharles W. Anderson, Ralph W. Singlever political factors have been passed over by Henry Lincoln Johnson, of Georgia, jim-jams if it should ever cast an electoral nominee.
Just why Southern colored politicians should be appointed to take charge and run a political bureau for the North, East and West, where the colored vote is a political factor, is beyond the conception of those voters. Henry Lincoln Johnson, of Atlanta, Ga., whose State has never cast a Republican electoral vote since the birth of Adam and Eve, has been placed in charge of a "jim-crow" Republican bureau to solidify the colored vote, while such men as Edward Morris, of Chicago, Louis A. Anderson and hundreds of other representative colored Republicans in the State of Illinois have been ignored. Ohio, where some of the strongest colored politicians in the country reside, has not been consulted. New York, where Charles W. Anderson, Ralph W. Singleton, Fred R. Moore and other political factors have been passed over, must now be dictated to by Henry Lincoln Johnson, of Georgia, whose State would have the jim-jams if it should ever cast an electoral vote for a Republican presidential nominee.

Those who attended were masked, thus adding to the charm and festivities of the occasion.
Mr. Garnet Lee has returned to the town after a few months' absence.

A special meeting of the Study Club was held at the schoolhouse last Monday night to give the last instructions on marking the ballot on election day. The room was crowded with both men and women who were very enthusiastic over the election. Different views were expressed, and a final straw vote was taken, with the following result: Harding and Coolidge; 30; Debs and Stedman, 4. Several of the new wimen voters made their maiden speeches, and it will be nip and tuck between the ladies and the men as to who can produce the better argument. The town correspondent ventures to say from the present outlook that as soon as the so-called "ignorance" of the women
on politics is wiped out the men will have to "watch their step."
***
Do not forget the very important meeting of the County Branch of the N. A. A. C. P. on Tuesday night, November 9, at which time election of officers will take place. Mr. Banton, secretary of the Washington Branch, will deliver an interesting talk. All of these meetings are uplifting both to our race and community. Come out and do your bit, if it is only by your presence.

A SCHOOL FOR THE TRAINING OF COLORED YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN FOR SERVICE Though it is young in history, the Institution feels a just pride in the work thus far accomplished, for its graduates are already filling many responsible positions, thus demonstrating the aim of the school to train men and women for useful citizenship.
PRESIDENT JAMES E. SHEPARD, DURHAM, NORTH CAROLINA
PUBLIC MEN AND THINGS.
By the Sage of the Potomac.
When the National Convention at Chicago, Ill., the past summer recognized the Galliher faction and his delegates, that settled the question of recognition as to the two Republican factions. The Bradshaw Central Republican Committee went out of existence some years ago. The so-called Bradshaw Committee was a committee in name only. Whatever methods were used to elect them, the Hogan-Cobb delegation that was admitted at Chicago have been recognized as regular delegates. Thousands of dollars have been collected by the Miller faction without authority of the National Committee, and this committee should be made to report the money that has been collected. Almost every colored Republican in this city contributed to one or the other committee.
Speaking about the election of delegates under the call of the National Committee, no convention that was held was in any way regular. All three of the elections were attended by hand-picked delegates. The most ridiculous was the Bradshaw election. This election was a monumental farce.
Some time ago Colonel Henry Lincoln Johnson delivered a tirade against the Democratic methods in the State of Georgia and declared that he was going to Georgia and speak at one of the largest places in the State and tell the Georgia crackers just what he thought of them. The colonel did not put his feet on the soil of Georgia and neither did he intend to visit his State at the time he delivered his philippic.
****
Somebody has been playing hot and cold in District politics. The so-called Harding and Coolidge Club has no standing in local politics. Its headquarters may be found at 1400 Pennsylvania avenue northwest.
There was only one way to have elected delegates in this city, and that method was successfully used by the Hogan-Cobb faction. This faction had the machine, and it was successfully used. The faction that has possession of the machine in this city is the faction that is able to win against a slush fund. The election is now over, and The Sage would suggest that all factions of Republicans in this city get together and work in harmony for a united, Republican organization.
I never saw so many colored corporations in all of my life. Every day or so some individuals spring up with some kind of corporation. The people are yarned to be careful to investigate these mushroom organizations.
***
The most loyal and safe white Republican in the State of Maryland is Hon. Francis J. Carmody, of Prince George's county. The Sage names him for the next State Senator from
Prince George's county. Let the Re-think that the next move will be for publicans of Prince George's county the Government to take a hand in name him now and work to this end,the enforcement of the nineteenth He is deserving of political recogni-constitutional amendment. tion. He is the man to be trusted * * *

The citizens of Fairmount Heights, Md., should have their town incorporated. This will enable them to elect their own town officials.
When W. Ashby Hawkins was nominated by a handfull of disgruntled officeseekers, he thought that he could hoodwink the colored people. Every prominent minister in the State supported Mr. Weller and no doubt W. Ashby Hawkins is a wiser man than he was at the time he got it into his head that he was the whole thing in the State. Did Mr. Hawkins make his report to the clerk of the House of Representatives as to the amount of money he spent and who contributed? Come on, Ashby, and let us have a list of the contributions made to your compaign.
Now that the election is over, the place hunters will be seen coming in droves. The Recorder of Deeds will be a handsome plum for someone.
****
One of the most successful and one of the most quiet physicians in the city is Dr. Robinson, who now occupies the handsome home that was owned by Dr. Lucy Moton. Dr. Robinson has a most accomplished wife, who knows a great deal about medicine.
There will be three theatres on U street. When they are finished, the colored people will be expected to support them. Now, if as many department stores or houses of the same size were erected for colored there would be no question of supporting them. If there were more business houses erected and less pleasure resorts I am sure the colored people would appreciate it.
The Washington boulevard, from New Jersey avenue to Florida avenue and U street east to Fifteenth, shows some of the most handsomely dressed chocolate browns that you would like to see. The fashion producers have nothing on these chocolate browns who visit the Howard supper shows.
Now that our women in the South were prevented from registering; I
The most accomplished and polished female politician and diplomat among women is Mrs. Julia Mason Layton. There is nothing of sham about Mrs. Layton. I shall be glad to see her merits recognizezd. She is a most discerning woman. The Assistant Superintendent of Schools couldn't do a better thing than to appoint this worthy woman to a position in the public schools.
ROSENWALD GIVES $25,000, FOR PHILADELPHIA GIRLS' "Y."
A gift of $25,000 towards the erection of a building for colored girls has just been made to the Y. W. C. A. of Philadelphia by Julius Rosenwald, of Chicago, who gave a generous sum not so long ago for the same purpose in New York. This will make the fourth "Y" the girls will have.

DR. T. THROBARKER
DR. 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

THE UNION WAR
Here We Have Uncle Sam In His New League of Nations Uniform, Designed for Him by Wilson & Cox, International Outfitters.
We have been discussing the theory of politics, with its special application to the black man in the United States. We have shown that the grouping of interests in politics is simply a kind of bargaining—a quid pro quo.
In this country for fifty years past the black man, wherever he could vote, has been voting with the Northern white Republican. His doing this has been in pursuance of a stated or implied contract—a bargain. The contract in effect is this:
"I, Samuel Bowe, and my kin, residing in the South and in the North, do for a promise hereby agree to vote with Mr. Pig Iron Kelly and his associates the Republican ballot, whenever and wherever we can, and without question.
"I, Pig Iron Kelly, and my associates, do hereby agree to emeliorate (sweeten) the condition of the aforesaid Samuel Bowe and his kin, to wit: Complete his emancipation, abolish his peonage and economic slavery, insure to him everywhere the exercise of the right of the ballot, afford him equal justice before the courts, and particularly to eradicate the custom of lynching. "The promise of each of us, the said parties, is conditioned on
"The promise of each of us, the said parties, is conditioned on the faithful performance by each of the undertakings promised.
(Signed) "PIG IRON KELLY,
"For Himself and Kin.
(Signed) "SAMUEL BOWE,
"For Himself and Kin."
It is related that soon after the signing of the said contract a representative of the kin of Samuel Bowe waited upon Mr. Horace Greeley, one of the prominent associates of Pig Iron Kelly and a prophet of the Republican party, and said, "We ask you to do something to emeliorate our condition," to which Mr. Horace Greeley replied, "Emeliorate your own condition." It is an undisputed fact that Mr. Greeley shortly thereafter openly allied himself with the avowed foes and habitual oppressors of the kin of Samuel Bowe.
The political, economic and social status of the black man in the South has grown steadily worse, while during fifty years he has aided the Republicans to maintain Federal power, with the exception of only sixteen years.
In the meantime Mr. Pig Iron Kelly and his associates have grown fat and are rolling in wealth. Tariff on pig iron is fattening.
Are the Republicans without knowledge of the condition of their black allies? No. They have said they want to do something to emeliorate the unhappy condition of the colored man, but that they do not know how to do it, or do not know how to do it without offending their lynching. Southern white brother. They did once propose a Force Bill, but abandoned it (and forgot it) when Brother Lyncher whined about its "injustice" and called attention to the fact that "blood is thicker than water."
And so here now is the situation: Nothing is done because blood is thicker than water!
Mr. Seward said, "A nation cannot live half slave and half free." Does the Northern white Republican think that a nation should live half civilized and half uncivilized? Certainly they maintain a strange attitude of indulgence toward the "composite and irregular civilization" of the Southern half of our boasted "land of the free and home of the brave."
What will the black men do about it? What can they do? Some advise them to divide their votes among the existing political parties. Under present conditions this will not work. In the South black men are practically voteless because of the decree of the Southern Democrats, approved by the Northern Democrats. Self-respecting black men in the North are unwilling to support that party so long as their brothers in the South are thus ill-used. It is questionable whether at this juncture it would serve any general useful purpose to support any one of the new weak parties—for instance, the Socialist party.
It seems to be a choice of evils for the black man. Until some better course is discovered, possibly it will be better for him to exercise his Hobson's choice and vote as in the past. But this promises no relief whatever. At best it promises nothing more than a sort of guarantee against retrogression.
What is the black man to do himself to improve his condition? We will endeavor to answer this question.
The capacity for logical political inference and argument is not common.

HOWARD THEATRE.
My friend from Kentucky, one of the late J. Lubuc Hill's masters of successful production, is holding forth at Howard Theatre this week, with Miss Eva Robinson, a Washingtonian. Miss Mattie Wilks and Andrew Tribble are among the stars. This show, is under the personal supervision of J. A. Ship, the veteran producer and composer. The late J. Lubuc Hill was the first to introduce this play at Howard, which was then under the management of W. H. Smith, of Chicago, but the play was not successful until Mr. Andrew J. Thomas and Mr. Rufus Byers took charge of the theatre. Miss Evan Robinson then played in one of the minor parts. Miss Robinson is now starring, and she assumes the character of Lucinda Langtree. J. Lubuc Hill assumed the character of Andrew Tribble. While the late Mr. Hill played this character very successfully, the consensus of opinion is today that Mr. Tribble far surpasses

the late Mr. Hill. His acting is so natural and the addition that he puts to the character of Amandy Lee puts the audience in convulsions of laughter. Dink Stewart is called before the footlights from five to six times each evening which was not done during his entire previous performance. His song after his release from prison brought down the house. His songs and sayings are catchy.
Our Will A. Cook as Jasper Green, is up to date. He never fails in any part he assumes.
Miss Evan Robinson, a Washington favorite, kept up her reputation. She was immaculate in her costumes and in the grand finale as Lucinda Langtree. She is a perfect fashion plate. Her costumes are very charming and becoming. Her wardrobe is made by her mother, who is one of the most fashionable designers in the country. She has a most perfect fit. Miss Robinson, of course, has not a very strong voice, but her acting is faultless.
Andrew Tribble, Dink Stewart and
Mr. Edward Thompson is not the success in Bill Simmons as Mr. Brown was when he played under J. Lubuc Hill. The dances with Miss Robinson are somewhat different and classic. On a whole the entire company is good and in some instances it surpassed all former acting and singing. The characters are well allotted, and J. A. Ship is entitled to the credit for its training. Howard's Symphony Orchestra at the supper shows this week made a great hit. It is now nip and tuck between the regular orchestra and the symphony.
RIP
Over fifty years ago a young physician practiced widely in a rural district and became famous for his uniform success in the curing of disease. This was Dr. Pierce, who afterwards established himself in Buffalo, N. Y., and placed one of his prescriptions, which he called "Golden Medical Discovery," in the drug stores of the United States so that the public could easily obtain this very remarkable tonic, corrective and blood-maker. Dr. Pierce manufactured this "Discovery" from roots and barks—a corrective remedy, the ingredients of which nature had put in the fields and forests, for keeping us healthy. Few folks or families now living have not at sometime or other used this "Golden Medical Discovery" for the stomach, liver and heart. Over twenty-four million bottles of this tonic and blood remedy have been sold in this country.
