NUTTER
THE GREAT FIGHT IN WEST VIRGINIA. CONTEND AGAINST T. G. NUTTER.
FORAKER
NUTTER ELECTED.
He Defeated a Social and Business Gentleman—Race Prejudice Figured in the Contest.
sailing under false colors. None of the hand-picked delegates that went from this city to Chicago, Ill., in June have any claim to leadership, so far as the colored Republicans in
Charleston, W. Va., November 5. The splendid victory achieved by the race in the re-election of T. G. Nutter to the House of Delegates from Kanawha county is the subject of much rejoicing among the colored people of this section. A bitter and determined fight was made against him by the Democratic white women, who attempted to prejudice the white Republican women against Nutter because of his color. Every means was used to spread this propaganda—the street cars, telephones, clubs and social gatherings, and a house-to-house canvass was made to arouse race prejudice so as to defeat Nutter and elect Robert S. Spillman, who was running on the Democratic ticket. Mr. Spillman is president of the West Virginia State Bar Association, a member of one of the leading law firms of the State, and a recognized social leader, being what is commonly known a "Virginia Gentleman." Spillman was selected to turn the ticket: because of his business, professional and social standing. While the propaganda served to reduce Nutter's majority, it was not sufficient to defeat him. His excellent record in the House had attracted wide attention and riveted the great mass of voters to him, who could not be alienated by such propaganda. He served on the judiciary committee and took a prominent part in the work of that committee, as well as in general legislation.
The victory of Nutter is nothing less than astounding in view of the fact that he had to face an electorate of more than 60,000, of whom not more than 6,000 were colored. He received over 20,000 votes and had a majority of 1,400 over Spillman, who led the Democratic ticket of the county by 1,000 votes.
Hon. Harry J. Capehart, of McDowell county, who also made an enviable record in the last legislature, was re-elected by a handsome majority. Mr. Capehart lives in the banner Republican county of the State and has long been recognized as one of the leaders of the McDowell county bar. Mr. Capehart is highly trained in the law, and there are few abler advocates in the State. He is of pleasant address and a most eloquent speaker. He served with distinction on the appropriation and other committees in the House.
Hon. Howard Railey, of Fayette county, who was among the first colored men to be elected to the West VVirginia legislature, went down in defeat because of the factional fight in his county. This is a distinct loss to the race, which is greatly regretted by the colored people of this State.
CHOOSE THEIR OWN.
Colored Republicans Will Select Their Own Representatives—Hand-Picked Representatives Repudiated.
A conference of representative colored Republicans was held last Saturday evening for the purpose of presenting to the next administration the colored Republicans in whom they have confidence and who are authorized to represent the colored people in the District of Columbia. This conference repudiated all hand-picked colored men, who were selected by the hand-picked delegates that met in Willard's Hotel and selected delegates to the last National Republican Convention. No delegates that went to the last National Republican Convention in any way represent the Republican party in the District of Columbia, and any man who claims that he represents the colored Republicans is

EXTRAVAGANCE.
November 5, 1920.
Editor of The Bee:
I read your splendid article on "Extravagance." I want to heartily commend you upon the very forceful presentation of the matter, and I would suggest that you let the same article appear for two or three weeks so that every colored person in the city could read it. What you have said is universally true. We, as a race, do waste too much money and lose too many good commercial opportunities. Such utterances as the one referred to from pulpit and press will at least put many to thinking and ultimately much good will come.
Sinceely yours,
Albert J. Mitchell.
JAMES WELDON JOHNSON
Confirmed as N. A. A. C. P. Secretary. His Work Resulted in Haitian Expose.
James Weldon Johnson, who has been serving as acting secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, following the resignation of John R. Shillady, was appointed regular secretary at a meeting of the Board of Directors held at the National Office, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York, on Monday, November 8.
LOCAL CHANGES.
The Incoming Administration Will Make Many Changes in the Local Offices.
Assistant United States. Attorney Ralph Given will succeed McMahon in the Police Court. Judge Pugh will be appointed to his old place on the bench in the Police Court.
The colored bar association will demand representatives in the United States Attorney's office. Many favor a representative in the Police Court judgeship. There are many bright and accomplished colored lawyers at the local bar who are a credit to the legal profession, namely, Royal Hughes, Thomas L. Jones, Joseph H. Stewart, P. W. Frisby, Fountain Peyton, A. W. Gray, L. M. King, H. L. and C. A. Tignor, John H. Wilson, W. L. Houston, W. C. Martin, Chas. H. Herrmann, B. J. Gaskins, Charles W. Williams, A. W. Scott, J. Louis Taylor, and many others who have won merit at the local bar. The colored bar association will make a united drive for recognition under the next administration. If there is a change in the office of Recorder of Deeds a prominent local colored Republican will be appointed.
Dr. Warfield will remain at the head of Freedmen's Hospital. There is no reason why he should be removed.
JUDGE TERRELL IN DETROIT.
Judge Robert H. Terrell addressed an audience that filled the auditorium of the Chamber of Commerce in Detroit recently. The occasion was the annual meeting of the Dunbar League of this city, operating under the auspices of Mr. John C. Dancy, Jr., Never before in this city has there been so much enthusiasm as was shown for this cause as on this occasion. This is the first time that this great auditorium has been used for the colored people for a lecture. Judge Terrell talked on "The Negro Today." It was most cordially received.
On Saturday night 150 citizens, under the leadership of Mr. Samuel G.
WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1920

PILGRIM FATHERS AT CREATORS OF GOVERNMENT.
Dr. Gregg, of Hampton, Praises Their Resoluteness and Reverence.
Hampton, Va., November 10.—Dr. James E. Gregg, principal of Hampton Institute, in an address on "Resoluteness and Reverence," read the famous "Mayflower Compact" and paid tribute to the early, God-fearing, English settlers, both in Virginia, and in Massachusetts, who laid the foundations of civil government in America. Dr. Gregg said:
"When we think of the Pilgrim fathers and their fellow-settlers in Virginia and when we think what has grown out of their efforts, we must again bow our heads in reverence, in thankfulness, and in recognition that their work was indeed God's work also.
"It is not so common a custom now to speak of our need of God's help before we can do anything, I suppose because it is the fashion of our times to glorify resoluteness rather than reverence, and to imagine that resoluteness can do it all."
"We have been great admirers of power. The kinds of painting and of sculpture that have been most in vogue in recent years, a young artist told me not long ago, are those that express force. 'If a picture knocks you down, intellectually and emotionally,' he said, 'you can be pretty sure it is great.'
"In our politics and commerce we have also been too apt to glorify the men who have gained control, by fair means or foul, over large numbers of their fellow-men.
"But the war, among other things, has taught us that power is not all in all; that the mighty man cannot afford to ignore either his fellow-men or his God; that violence and brutality cannot conquer the world, but peace and good-will can, and some day will.
"As we remember the Pilgrims in these coming weeks let us, therefore, take notice and remember this lesson which their brave struggle teaches so plainly, namely, that resoluteness and reverence—the strength of men joined to the strength of God; our will humbly yet fearlessly carrying out His will—this it is that founds and establishes a nation, and this it is that carries the individual human soul on from victory to victory."

RETIRES FROM BUSINESS.
Mr. Thomas G. Penn, pioneer merchant tailor of Anacostia, has retired from his tailoring business, which he has successfully conducted for more than twenty years, and will leave the city Thursday next, accompanied by his amiable wife, Mrs. Sarah Penn, with Chicago as their ultimate destination and home, stopping en route for a fortnight at Dumfries, Va., the former home of his wife, as well as at New York, Philadelphia, Wilmington, Harrisburg, Pittsburgh and York, Pa. Both Mr. and Mrs. Penn have been prominently connected socially here, and have long been identified with the business world in and around this vicinity, Mrs. Sarah Penn having been independently engaged as cateress prior to their marriage. They are well connected fraternally also.
Mr. Penn is a product of our own Hampton, is master of his business, and has been instrumental in turning out a number of journeyman tailors through practical knowledge obtained in his establishment. During his business career he has accumulated
a number of pieces of real estate in this section, as well as his handsomely appointed home in the northwestern part of the city, and attributes his success financially to the wise counsel and guiding hand of his helpmeet. While Mr. Penn will retire from business here, he will not be inactive, and plans to devote his time in the future to the science of investments, directing the same from his Chicago office. He has sold his former business place, 2500 Nichols avenue southeast; to Mr. Leon Washington, son of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. H. Washington, an enterprising tailor, who plans, besides conducting a general tailoring, cleaning and dyeing business, to introduce the additional features of a barber shop and a haberdashery and to incorporate as a sole corporation.

NEXT WEEK AT THE'HOWARD.
Quintard Miller's "Broadway Gossips" will make their grand appearance at the Howard Theatre Monday
night, November 15. There is a magnificent display of the settings which are lavish and beautiful, and would inspire any admiring comments. The whole is very fanciful—page after page of midnight revels, but with the leaves of easy-going, of wild, interpretative dances and with bewildering succession of scenes that lead to Oriental splendor. This comedy is a revelation of scenic beauty, with "Chinatown at Midnight" as the center of interest, and then the interludes, with the framing of a small setting in a minaret of outlines are delightful incidents usually punctuated with some fascinating song. In gorgeous costume "Chinatown at Midnight" is difficult to rival. The Devil, with his genial observations on things in general and with his occasional excursion into the realms of perdition, is perhaps the best possible selection there could be for a guide, as he seems to be very appreciative of diabolical schemes among the girls of the underworld. The dances represent some of the best of their kind. To particularize is not an easy task. You know Lula Whitby, Ethel Marshall, Cloe Mitchell, Minnie Cox, Doe Doe Green, B. B. Joyner, Aaron Gates and Joe Coomiooch, and they make distinctice successes. The entire performance has a wonderful amount of snap and spirit. After all, there is but one Quintard Miller.
BETHEL LITERARY.
The Bethel Literary and Historical Association will open its season Tuesday night, November 16, at Metropolitan A. M. E.

FIRST FISK CLUB MEETING
The Fisk Club of Washington had its first meeting of the season at the home of Mr. and Mrs. S. M. Ken-
drick on Friday evening, November 5. Dean and Mrs. Woodard and Dr. St. Elmo Brady, of Howard University, with several other former Fisk students now in Washington for the first time, were welcomed as members of the club. Plans were adopted for making a substantial contribution to Fisk University by next commencement, and a committee, with Mrs. Geo. E. Haynes as chairman, was appointed to carry out the plans agreed upon.
THAT THIN FLOW OF
POLITICAL "JUICE"
The jim-crow brother, who hankered after "juice,"
Says the flow was so slim "dat it warnn't no use."
A mighty slender straw to suck it through
Made the "juice" come thin as a dry bone stew.
"De 'publican committee' found out the jim-crow gang
And left the whole bunch go with a mighty bang.
They'd triggered and figgered for two years or more
To pull down a bag of campaign graft galore.
All that they did—all they could do—
Was to sit around wondering what spoiled the stew.
When the men higher up got on to their game,
The puffed-up "juice" leader grew awful tame.
Big program and big figures all faded away,
As did the "juice," long before election day.
Like hound dogs sneaking from a smoke-house,
The "juice" and jim-crow bunch eased away like a mouse.
Next year they'll be hanging 'round the White House door,
But they'll find out that Harding has heard of them before.
HOWARD DEFEATS VIRGINIA
UNION 7 TO 0.
The punishing score of 7 to 0 meted out to Virginia Union University on Saturday, November 6, at Richmond, Va., by Howard, marks another lap in her race for the intercollegiate championship. From beginning to end the game frotted with interest with interest and fight. At the very outset Union expressed her determination to cut down Howard, but immediately the Howard eleven proved their superiority and their ability to check Union's advance. During the contest Howard earned twelve first downs, whereas Union made only four.
Howard's backfield was fast and in perfect working condition. The game was won in the third period when Payne, the plucky fullback, snatched down a forward pass within reach of Union's end and ran 50 yards for a touchdown. At the opening of the last period, Union, conscious of her handicap, threw new vigor into the game in order to at least end it a tie. Howard was able to face the situation. It was at this point that her line proved its strength. For the most part; Union was kept out of scoring distance, and although she made a supreme effort during the last few moments of play, the Howard machine was able to crush her spirit and push the fight into a section of absolute safety. Howard's still uncrossed goal in the face of the crushing defeat received by Lincoln at the hands of the Hampton eleven, gives added fuel to the already fever-heat interest in the coming football classic to be played Thanksgiving Day between Howard and Lincoln at the American League Park, at Washington, D. C.

FOLLOWS MASTER TO DEATH
Remarkable Attachment of Airedale to A. E. F. Man in Montana.
The attachment of a Belgian Airedale dog, brought from France, has been demonstrated in the case of D. W. Bennetts, an A. E. F. man, who met his death by falling down the shaft of a mine just outside of Basin, Mont., according to the following report, which we republish as it appeared a few weeks ago in the Daily Post of Butte:
The faithful dog invariably accompanied Bennetts from his cabin to the mine, but on this particular day the lock on the door snapped before the dog got out, and Bennetts went to the mine without him. Soon after Bennetts fell down the shaft and sustained injuries which resulted in his death.
For two days the dog was locked in the cabin, and on the third day when the door was opened, the Airedale rushed out. He made straight for the mine, and, taking up a position at the mouth of the shaft, there he remained day and night, looking down the big hole, watching for his master. All efforts of men about the mine to get the dog away were without success. They gave him food and endeavored to coax him away with a choice bone, but it was no use. Finally the faithful dog became desperate, plunged head first into the shaft and was killed.
Bennetts was an overseas man and was buried in this city with military honors. When in France the deceased came across the Belgian Airedale and took such a liking to him that the owner made him a present of the animal. He brought him across the ocean, cared for him at the mustering-out camp, and then brought him to this city.
A miner who came to the city from Basin related the story as coming under his own personal knowledge.

THINGS IN THIS WORLD;
MEDITATION OF EVENTS
By C. Alcott Grant.
Things worth while in this world are those which are honestly acquired. What strange creatures we are, anyway. The truth of that statement would sum up to be so apparent that it needs no amplification or defense, and yet, day after day, we learn of some fellows who try to take a short cut to wealth, because it's money they have in mind, and not the ethical method by which money is made.
If people would only be honest with one another, always be what you appear to be and always be what you really are, even if your real self falls short of some romantic ideal you may have formed.
What is there in our humanrelations which prompts folks to take a chance in spite of the knowledge that dishonesty never pays? Perhaps I can throw light upon that very thing, as a result of a personal experience which made a very deep impression upon my own mind. About nine years ago I had just returned from school. I had been in New York only a short time. I happened to visit a woman upon a hot, sultry afternoon. She had just finished washing her hands. I walked around the house, looking at pictures, then sat down near the dining room table waiting for her to come in and talk to me. It eems that she thought she had laid a diamond ring down on the table, and when she looked for it the ring was gone. Obviously, to her, there was only one place that ring could be, and that was, of course, in my possession. Had I not walked around and sat at the side of the table in a very suspicious manner? Wasn't I the only one who had entered the house; wasn't the ring gone? She called me and accused me of taking the ring. I was so astounded that any woman could actually accuse me of taking a ring that I am very sure I looked and acted guilty. Even if I had found the ring in the room, my mental attitude was such just then that I never could have dreamed that the woman thought I was actually trying to steal it. Of course, she thought that very thing, and I was pretty much of a fool to think, as I sat there, that she thought I was honest. I knew it and gave her credit for knowing the same thing. But that is not the way of the world. This woman called a friend, through whom she had met me, and told him that I had stolen her ring. But just as she got her handkerchief to wipe her face, the ring dropped out. She expressed much happiness that she had found it; so far as I was concerned, the damage was done. For the first time in my life I met a woman who believed that I would steal, whereas I never dreamed that anyone in the world could ever harbor such an idea about me. I have never recovered from the bitterness of that incident. I knew that I had never taken anything in the world which didn't rightfully belong to me, and in the pursuit of my duties a woman comes right out and accuses me of stealing a diamond ring. Why? Because those who accuse others of stealing without positive evidence are not to be trusted themselves. My friends there is only one way to succeed, and that is the right way. We have conscience which shows us the way and we have teachers and preachers to tell us that we reap what we sow. What poor fools we are! There only one thing worth while in life above all else and that is self-respect. Be true to yourself, and there is nothing that can keep you down.
I've had my share of public denunciation: The stories, I have heard about myself make the diamond episode look very tame. The only thing I need to answer is this: Is the diamond in my pocket? I know it isn't, and therefore, I can face the world fearlessly and achieve success. So it is with all of us; it is not what the world thinks, but what we know that counts.

rather wide range. His low tones are very clear and resonant; the high tones were taken with greatest ease and were brilliant and ringing, yet sympathetic.
In his program Mr. Delmore interpreted with versatility a wide range of musical thought and feeling. His moods were tender, joyous, sad or intensely dramatic, as befitted the composition. His interpretations were rendered even more enjoyable by almost perfect diction. He was at home in various languages.
The accompanist, Miss Eva Dykes, a brilliant college woman as well as an excellent musician, assisted Mr. Delmore with sympathetic response to every mood as well as brilliant technique. Her ease and charm of manner, together with the fine presence of the artist of the evening, added to the dignity of the occasion. The program was as follows: "Morning," Oley Speaks; "Three Shadows," H. T. Burleigh; "Ye People Rend Your Hearts" ("Elijah"), Mendelssohn; "J'ai pleure en reve," Georges Hue; "Pourquoi me reveiller" ("Werther"), Massenet; "Call Me No More," Cadman; "Oh, My Love," H. T. Burleigh; "Spirto Gentil" ("La Favorita"), Donizetti; "Eleanore," "Life and Death," S. Coleridge Taylor; "Il fior che avervi a me to dato" ("Carmen"), Bizet; "Oh, Moon of My Delight" ("In a Persian Garden"), Liza Lehman.
The second recital will take place February 4, 1921. The artists will be Maude Cuney Hare, pianist, and William H. Richardson, baritone.
The third recital will be held April 1, 1921, with Kemper Harreld, violinist, as the attraction.
SUCCESSFUL CAMPAIGN.
The people of this city heartily congratulate Mrs. Virginia White Speel, chairman of the women's campaign in and for the District, and her associates, Mrs. Logan Tucker, daughter of the late John A. Logan; Mrs. Julia Mason Layton, a member of the State committee for the District, and others for the successful campaign work done under their leadership for the women of the District in the interest of our President elect and Vice-President-elect, Harding and Coolidge.
At Republican headquarters, 1412 H street, Mrs. Speel and her associates, although as busy and industrious as bees, were courteous and helpful to all who sought information. These broad-minded women who work untimingly for their country's good, know no race nor creed, but faithfully serve all who enter their headquarters.
These women worked hard in the neighboring States with women who had a vote. With such women as these for leaders in District affairs, it should mark the dawn of a new and better era for all peoples. Long may they live!
HOME AGAIN
After successfully working among the women of the East, Mrs. M. C. Terrell returned to Washington last Tuesday night, where she was warmly greeted by the women of the Women's Republican League.

Last week we said that the overwhelming national defeat of the Ku-Klux party should mean the end of that party as a national factor. That thought was not an idle prophecy. Since we wrote that statement we have noted in the daily press many indications that the early dissolution of that party is within the range of possibility.
That party has long paraded under the disguise of "Democratic," and many excellent Northern people, deceived and lured by the fine-sounding name, have joined the oligarchy of the South and the lower element of the North in giving it support. But evidently the fraud has been so effectively unmasked that even the most stupid and blind have seen the truth. Evidently the sensible voters of the North have "seen a great light," and apparently their verdict on November 2 was: "No more of the Democratic party; to hell with it."
We read that an early conference of the "Democratic" leaders is contemplated to discuss plans for the "reorganization" of their party, possibly under a new name. The desire for a new name is apparent—the word "Democrat" has become odious; it is a stench. But to change the name of the party while it retains its same character will deceive no one, and will therefore serve no useful purpose to the band of blackguards and artful dodgers who compose it. To "reorganize" the Ku-Klux party would be equally futile. To organize a thing or body means to retain its essence, its essential character. The public will not be deceived by a reorganization. The logical conclusion is that it would be more fitting if the so-called Democratic party disband forever and sink into oblivion—"unwept, unhonored and unsung."
VIEWS ON THE HAITI CASE.
Northern press that has expressed itself on the exploitation democratic administration in Haiti has spoken in almost horror and condemnation. The Ku-Klux press of the country has been silent. It is easy to guess the sentiment of the press have seen just one isolated apology for the brutal, predatory policy of the Democratic administration in Haiti regularly, that utterance comes from a Northern period where distinguished for high moral character—The Independent in New York. The Independent, long a champion of the principles, changed ownership a few years ago, and she election abandoned the Republican party and decided on the alleged ground that the acceptance by the U.S. League of Nations compact was the paramount point in this country.
Independent up to ten or fifteen years ago was probably table all-around excellent weekly magazine of general interest in the country—excellent for superiority and variety of our scholarship and for high ethical standards. It was a friend of the oppressed everywhere, not excepting the people; and a year or two ago we paid it a special tribute.
With regret that we note the decline of the proverbial of the Independent. It has sought greater popularity again a wider circulation, and as a consequence has lost position of superiority in quality of matter and characterse tears.
The Northern press that has expressed itself on the exploits of the Democratic administration in Haiti has spoken in almost one voice of horror and condemnation. The Ku-Klux press of the Solid South has been silent. It is easy to guess the sentiment of that element.
We have seen just one isolated apology for the brutal, predatory and murderous policy of the Democratic administration in Haiti, and, singularly, that utterance comes from a Northern periodical heretofore distinguished for high moral character—The Independent, of New York. The Independent, long a champion of the best Northern principles, changed ownership a few years ago, and shortly before the election abandoned the Republican party and declared for Cox on the alleged ground that the acceptance by the United States of the League of Nations compact was the paramount political issue in this country.
The Independent up to ten or fifteen years ago was probably the most notable all-around excellent weekly magazine of general circulation in the country—excellent for superiority and variety of contents, for scholarship and for high ethical standards. It was the staunch friend of the oppressed everywhere, not excepting the colored people; and a year or two ago we paid it a special tribute in these columns.
It is with regret that we note the decline of the proverbial excellence of the Independent. It has sought greater popularity in order to gain a wider circulation, and as a consequence has lost its unique position of superiority in quality of matter and character. Hence these tears.
COMING TOGETHER
colored citizens of Washington City are coming together, coming more independent in the line of business. Here it was to be an enterprise started, in a majority of case citizens would be asked to give it assistance. Now there is one when the colored citizens are helping themselves. Many enterprises have been started among the colored people and fair to be successful, namely, the Dudley-Murray Theatres, which is to be one of the largest structures in the so far as theatres are concerned; the Whitelaw Hotel; its acquisition to hotels in this city; the United Housing and a dozen other corporations that space does not please to name. The colored citizens are certainly getting most important institutions needed are department stores. We have a shoe store already, which is supported; and yet, without help, Mr. Richard Ward, an enterprising wife have struggled for years to meet one of the people. Instead of three or four clerks in the store operated by colored people in the city, there should be that number. In this store, The Bee has said time you can obtain good shoes and any style you wish. It is one enterprise the colored people are divided one it is because some believe that more stylish shoes must be at an establishment operated by white people. It is not a place of business and be convinced.
The colored citizens of Washington City are coming together and becoming more independent in the line of business. Heretofore if there was to be an enterprise started, in a majority of cases the white citizens would be asked to give it assistance. Now the time has come when the colored citizens are helping themselves.
Many enterprises have been started among the colored people which bid fair to be successful, namely, the Dudley-Murray Theatre Corporation, which is to be one of the largest structures in this country, so far as theatres are concerned; the Whitelaw Hotel, a necessary acquisition to hotels in this city; the United Housing Corporation, and a dozen other corporations that space does not permit The Bee to name. The colored citizens are certainly getting together.
The most important institutions needed are department stores and dry-goods stores. We have a shoe store already, which is not properly supported; and yet, without help, Mr. Richard Ware and his most enterprising wife have struggled for years to meet the demands of the people. Instead of three or four clerks in the only shore store operated by colored people in the city, there should be fifty times that number. In this store, The Bee has said time and again, you can obtain good shoes and any style you wish.
This is one enterprise the colored people are divided on; and why? It is because some believe that more stylish shoes may be obtained at an establishment operated by white people. It is not so. Go to his place of business and be convinced.
"THE NEGRO."

Will some learned colored historian, some race orator, or someone inform The Bee who invented the word "Negro" as it is applied to the colored race? Will some learned divine who constantly uses the word "Negro" inform The Bee of its origin? Any name
a white man gives the colored race seems to be adopted.
try to say to those who read articles which the word "Negro" is used and that these articles will find their way in the Holy Writ can this word be used people to do their own thinking that are applicable to the race. segregation and other objectionable colored race by race representatives. nature and simple—those who are born America and become American citizens the colored people insist in calling to The Bee. Drop it.
The Bee takes this opportunity to say to those who read articles and other communications in which the word "Negro" is used and applied to the colored race, that these articles will find their way to the waste basket. Nowhere in the Holy Writ can this word be found.
It is about time for the colored people to do their own thinking and apply terms to themselves that are applicable to the race.
There is more "jim crowing," segregation and other objectionable designations applied to the colored race by race representatives than any other race in the world.
We are colored Americans, pure and simple—those who are born in America or emigrate from Africa and become American citizens. We are all colored, and why the colored people insist in calling themselves "Negroes" is surprising to The Bee. Drop it.
HAND PICKED.
picked delegates to the last National was sprung up in this city a set of wise known as hand-picked leaders—into a chimney-sweeper's position in opposition to them. The only get would probably be their own kick their ballots. Of men under the next administration, individuals, or men who can't get man pushes their claims. Pick such men as he picked to run now what the colored people may be New York headquarters were not of them after their selection failed when they did, they could not tell were too weak to discuss the differ-ganut. This New York office had were made.
Since the election of hand-picked delegates to the last National Republican Convention there has sprung up in this city a set of self-constituted dictators, otherwise known as hand-picked leaders—men who could not be elected to a chimney-sweeper's position if there was not a candidate running in opposition to them. The only vote that they would be able to get would probably be their own, if they had sense enough to mark their ballots.
The Bee expects to see a class of men under the next administration, known as the hat-in-hand individuals, or men who can't get any recognition unless a white man pushes their claims.
If Mr. Will Mays intends to pick such men as he picked to run the last campaign, you may know what the colored people may expect. Some of the bunch at the New York headquarters were not even good figure-heads. Many of them after their selection failed to put in their appearance; and when they did, they could not tell you anything. Some of them were too weak to discuss the difference between a peanut and a cocoanut. This New York office had no regard for contracts after they were made.
THE NEW YORK TIMES

Sunday, November 7, was a grand day at Calloway M. E. Church, of which Rev. Joseph G. Grant is pastor. Words can not express our thanks and the love and care we have for our beloved pastor. He is, indeed, a Christian gentleman. We could not hear him Sunday, because it was Woman's Day.

PUBLIC MEN AND THINGS.
Well, the feathers will begin to fly after March 4, 1921. There will be three factions of Republicans in this city knocking at the Republican headquarters for recognition. It will be a "hot time in the old town tonight." The lily-white faction claims to be regular; half lily-white claims to be regular, and the black and tans demand recognition. The chairman of the National Republican Committee has recognized the Galliher faction, better known as the star-chamber Willard Hotel organization. I would suggest that all factions of Republicans get together and name Republican Commissioners, judges of the Police Court and other local officers. The Republicans in this city have been ignored long enough, and now the time has come for bona fide citizens and Republicans to be in the saddle. Then next in order is the Harding and Coolidge Democratic Club. None in this club has lost out
in their own party after having sucked the Democratic tit for eight years, and now they seek refuge in the Republican party. If there is a factional fight for recognition, the Harding and Coolidge Democratic Club will come in for the spoils. Our National Committeeman, Mr. Colladay, has made a good representative, and I would like to see him placed in an office of honor and trust. There is our own Captain J. F. Oyster, who is entitled to the Commissionership. He was named by Mr. Taft, but the Democratic administration refused to rename him. He is a good enough Republican for thousands in this city, and there is no reason why he should not be renamed. The occupation of Van Schaick has gone, and the time has now come for him to remain in seclusion.
The Georgia Peach will make his headquarters in this city and select his black cabinet. Now, just who will be the members of Link Johnson's black cabinet is a wonder, but you can just bet they will be anti-prohibitionista. Now, when Link makes his selections, he will not select Jim Cobb, Whitfield McKinley or any of that bunch. He will select such eminent statesmen as The Eagle man; Charles S. Williams, of Georgia, and other eminent jurists. The most of his black cabinet will come from Atlanta, Ga. By the way, his man Friday, Ben. Davis, of Atlanta, will be named. The Odd Fellows' Journal will be the organ of the black cabinet.
Speaking of the black cabinet of the Georgia Peach, our own Will Houston will be his attorney-general. Link has the most implicit confidence in him at this time, more so than he had a few years ago when he put him out of commission. This was when Houston was grand master. Politics makes strange bedfellows at times. Morris and Houston don't speak as they pass by. Well, Houston is a progressive individual now.

He is making a successful lawyer. I have no doubt that the day will come when he will be the next grand master of Odd Fellows. It is rumored that Houston has his eyes on a big plum. He would like to be named Minister to Haiti. We need a strong man in the Black Republic. You can just bet a dollar to five apples that the Black Republic would know that Houston was on Haitian soil.
The new Dudley-Murray Theatre will take a jump soon, and U street will be surprised when this handsome theatre is erected, notwithstanding the Republic and Crandal combination. Just how all of these theatres will get support I am not able to state.
***
Of course, we can not desert the old Howard. When there were no other theatres, the old Howard gave us comfort and relief, and today it is holding its own. The two colored theatres will be a great acquisition to U street.
The editor of the Baptist Church Eagle, with a 35,000 (minus) circulation, with one female and one male to pack them, has named himself Recorder of Deeds to succeed John Costello. He has as much chance of being named for the Recorder's office as he has to be named the producer of a 35,000 circulation and his weekly knocks of The Bee. The poor nut is certainly worried about The Bee.
****
Speaking about candidates for office, I suppose the voteless colored South will make a demand for all the places to which the Northern colored vote is entitled.
It has been argued why Southern colored politicians were put over the Northern. That is easily accounted for. The colored Southern politician is more subservient than the Northern colored politician. He will obey orders sooner. The Northern colored man is more manly. He stands on his rights. The Southern brother stands with hat in hand and obeys the bosses or his masters.

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.

FAIRMOUNT HEIGHTS NEWS.
Prince George's county stands out today in a column of thought and great interest to the Negro citizens throughout the county.
The citizens of Maryland have spoken in terms of commendation in answer to the call of the Republican party. They placed everything aside that they thought would prevent or hinder the success of the party on November 2.
The Republican party of the State of Maryland and the nation at large owes much to the Negro voters of this State for their splendid and loyal support.
The Negro voters have their eyes open now more than they ever had before in Maryland. They are going to watch every move made by every party man in this State, and in this county especially.
Many of our citizens want and will ask for a good many small places, and one of the big places. Maryland should have one, say, Register of the Treasury or Recorder of Deeds.
The party of John Walter Smith, was not shrewd enough to purchase enough votes in Maryland this year, which would have landed Smith in the U. S. Senate, through W. Ashby Hawkins.
The big fight comes up next year in the State. The people are beginning to line up now for the fight.
A new State Central Committee of Prince George's county is to be chosen; a sheriff, five members of the House of Delegates, and other county and State officials. The citizens will demand that the cards be played on the table and not underneath the table; all covenants must be openly drawn and openly arrived at, not in some hotel, but in some place where any and all will be admitted.
HARDING 404 AND COX 127,
FINAL FIGURES.
Republican Margin Is Eleven More Than Democratic Total—Popular Vote Grrows—Senate Probably Will Be.59 to 37, With Tremendous Majority in House—Win in Close Districts—With 290 Members G. O. P Will Show Gain of 58 Seats.
(From N. Y. Herald, Nov. 6.)
Senator Warren G. Harding will be elected President of the United States with 404 electoral out of a total of 531. Governor Cox has 127. As only 266 are required for election, Harding has a margin of 138, or 11 more than the total count of Cox in

"General Henry Forrest,
"949 S Street N. W., Washington, D. C."
the Electoral College.
These figures were definitely fixed yesterday by the receipt of further returns from States where there had been the barest possibility of an upset. The popular vote of Senator Harding continued to grow yesterday. It also became practically certain that the line-up in the United States Senate would be 59 Republicans to 37 Democrats. Interest yesterday centered in the growing size of the plurality of the Republicans in the next House of Representatives; the largest ever held by any party in the history of the country.
Latest returns showed that the Republicans would have a margin of more than 150 seats in the House. The nearest approach to this was in the Fifty-second Congress, when the Democrats had a lead of 18. In the districts that were definitely reported, the Republicans had elected 290 and the Democrats 138, a lead of 152. The Socialists had elected one, one is classed as an independent Republican, one as a Prohibitionist and one as a plain independent.
As regards the remaining three seats, there had been no official reports from the eighth Minnesota, the fifth Missouri and the twenty-third New York, where the Democrats were still claiming they would eventually win; although Albert B. Rossdale, Republican, had a lead of 2,000 over Representative Richard F. McKiniry, Democrat. There are six missing districts, claimed to be Democratic strongholds. But Rossdale seems a certain winner..
Late returns from Tennessee showed that the race in the fourth and eighth districts there was close. In the former W. F. Clouse, Republican, was leading Representative Cordell Hull by fewer than 300. He claims, however, complete returns will give him at least 1,000. In the eighth incomplete returns give L. A. Scott, Republican, only a slight lead over Gordon Brownell, Democrat. With 290 members, the Republicans will have made a net gain of fifty-eight seats.

Doctor Cupid
That love sometimes cures disease is a fact, that has been called to the attention of the public by a prominent physician. Love is not, however, the cure for all women. Many a woman is nervous and irritable, feels dragged down and worn out for no reason that she can think of. Doctor Pierce's Favorite Prescription gives new life and new strength to weak, worn-out, run-down women. "Favorite Prescription" makes weak women strong and sick women well. It is now sold by all druggists in the United States in tablets as well as liquid form.
PETERSBURG, VA.—"I found Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription an excellent medicine for feminine troubles. I had become all rundown, weak and nervous and was suffering with aches and pains all over. I took the 'Favorite Prescription' and it was very quick in building me up and relieving me of all my weakness. It made me a well woman for which I have always been very thankful."—MRS. T. N. DECKER, 555 Halifax Street.
