Money Order or certified check. Address: THE COLORED LEADERSHIP AND WHAT IT MEANS TO THE COLORED AMERICANS. VOL. XLI. NO. 26 A THE COLORED L WHAT IT MEAN ED AMERICANS What Will It Lead To?—Its Stock in Trade is to Satisfy a Personal Ambition. The incoming administration will bring to the political service a new colored leadership, whose hungry ambition must be appeased only by the blandishments of official recognition by the incoming administration. This leadership is composed of men who have a selfish greed for office. When that is satisfied, they are satisfied. On the other hand, there are a few men who do not want an office and are not seeking one, but would rather see the race as a whole or in part benefited. President-elect Harding will, of course, take advice of the recognized representatives of the colored race and not listen to a gang of "bootleggers" and anit-prohibitionists — politicians who generally infest the city and impose upon all administrations. The coolred Democrat is no more. He has been taught some sense. He will no longer play the bootblack and scavenger for bones and chittlings. In this city, The Bee is of the opinion that a voteless contingent from the South will be seen looking wise and appearing big and demanding everything in sight. THE VIRGINIA STATE TEACHERS' ASSOCIATION Miss Ella M. Boston, president of the Teachers' Association of Arlington County, was the delegate from said association and Parent-Teachers' League to the State convention held at Newport News from November 9 to 12. Prior to leaving, she was surprised by receiving a handsome, durable leather suitcase through Madames A. E. West, Mamie Carter and others on behalf of the league, and Misses L. E. Smackum and Viola Herndon for the teachers: The Booker Washington Patrons' League and the C. P. Huntington High School Patrons' League entertained the association at a dainty lunch every day of the session. Several hundred teachers were in attendance. Miss Boston read a paper on "The Advantage of a Community Library in Rural Schools." The paper was enthusiastically received. L. C. Baltimore, the auditor, read a paper for Hall's Hill. DETECTIVE JACKSON. Sergeant Detective Jackson, who has made one of the best records in the Police Department, continues to hold his own. There is no reason why he should not have a companion since the retirement of Sergeant Detective Backley. There are several good officers on the force who would make good at headquarters. Captain Paul Jones is an excellent officer, and it is hoped that Inspector Grant will recommend him to headquarters. Jackson and Jones would clean up the criminals who are running at large. Sergeant Jackson has made several sensational arrests within the last few months. He is honest and active and there is no reason why he should not have an associate.

GARFIELD NOTES The Allen A. M. E. Sunday School had a very large attendance last Sunday morning. The school, under the leadership of Mr. R. H. Beverly, is planning to have the history of the school from the beginning of the church to date. At 11 o'clock Rev. M. W. Traverse preached to a very large congregation. His discourse was very timely and the spirit was felt by the members. The Bowen Road Club has a very fine sermon preached to them Sunday night at 8 o'clock. They were favored by having the Southeast Washington Singing Band with them. The singing was very helpful and was enjoyed by the congregation. The residence of Mrs. Anna O. West caught fire last Sunday morning and did considerable damage to the house. BETHEL LITERARY. Miss Hallie Q. Brown, of Wilberforce, Ohio, will address Bethel Literary on Tuesday night, November 23, 1920, at Metropolitan A. M. E. Church. On account of the storm on November 16th the meeting was postponed. NATIONAL MEMORIAL ASSOCIATION IN BALTIMORE. Last Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock the Co-operative Missionary Society of Maryland met in Trinity Baptist Church, Druid Hill avenue, Baltimore, Md., of which Rev. Dr. Diggs is pastor. This handsome edifice was purchased recently from a Lutheran congregation. The church was filled with earnest missionary workers from Baltimore WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1920 and adjoining counties. The special speaker of the afternoon was Mrs. Julia Mason Layton, the secretary of the National Memorial Association. For nearly an hour she held these people listening to her tribute to all the Negro soldiers and sailors from the Continental Army down to the great World War. Rev. Diggs is a commissioner of this association, and all present were enthused and pledged their support in getting in close touch with Maryland's Congressmen and urging them to support the bill for a memorial building in the Nation's Capital in honor of our heroic soldiers which will be taken up in December when Congress convenes. The National Memorial Association observed Armistice Day at Vermont Avenue Baptist Church. Justice Siddons' address was a masterpiece. Dr. Sumner Wormley, Mrs. Mary L. Europe and the Pension Office Glee Club furnished a rare musical treat. Over three hundred soldiers from Walter Reed, St. Elizabeth's, Washington Barracks, Fort Myer, Potomac Park and ex-service men enjoyed a splendid supper at the close of the program. The house was packed with friends to honor our heroes. COMMITTEEMAN COLLADAY. National Committeeman Colladay has made a good record. He has done more for the Republican party in the District of Columbia than any of his predecessors with but one exception. Col. M. M. Parker was a high-class national committeeman. He never stooped to small things. Mr. Colladay has brought the Republican party in the District of Columbia up to a high standard. For once he has placed a quietus upon all of the side shows. MINISTERS' UNION ACTIVE. The weekly sessions of the A. M. E. Zion Ministers' Union are steadily increasing in interest and helpfulness. Many questions of farreaching importance affecting the religious and civic life of the people are from time to time discussed and acted upon. The union is unanimous in the opinion that our folk are not properly honoring the dead heroes, colored and who are being brought from overseas and interred in the Arlington National Cemetery every Friday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. Hundreds of white people attend these solemn and impressive burial ceremonies each week and deposit flowers and sympathetic tears on the caskets of these brave men who have made the supreme sacrifice for their country; but noticeably few of our people are in evidence on these occasions, due largely, no doubt, to the fact that this matter, although important, has not been given sufficient publicity. Dr. J. Gardner Ross, former pastor of the Bethel Baptist Church, Jacksonville, Fla., and Dr. S. Q. Swann, presiding elder of the Washington district, were welcome visitors at the last session of the Union, and both made appropriate and encouraging remarks. This Great Picture to be Shown at Howard Theatre Next Week. There are only a few, really great photoplays each season, pictures that grip you and make a lasting impress- Emmett J. Scott, Secretary-Treasurer, Howard University. sion. "Humoresque" belongs among these select few. It has qualities which raise it high above the average. It is a story of a lad with a soul for music and the great unselfish mother love that helped him to the high place he came to occupy; and of the beautiful girl who stood by him in poverty and in riches and in the great crisis o this life saved him for himself. A picture that makes the hopes and the joys and the tears of plain folks live on the screen. It holds the mirror to the soul. It is the feature at the Howard on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday; with matinees on Friday and Saturday at 2:30 p. m. Special music will be played for this great photoplay. Thanksgiving Day it will be shown at 6:30 and 8:30. ANNOUNCEMENTS. At the Howard Theatre next week a special program—the jazz orchestra and the Howard special. *** The Hiawatha will show some classic pictures—new and up to date. *** The Foraker has a special vaudeville and movie program. *** The Dunbar is increasing in popularity. Many fine pictures for next week. *** The Duudley You Street Theatre presents vaudeville and sensational pictures. *** The Mid-City always in the limelight. Don't miss it. Quintard Miller in his musical comedy supreme, "Broadway Gossip," was the attraction at the Howard Theatre this week. The dancing and acting in this show were of the very finest, and the music catchy. The company is composed of all new faces, with but one or two exceptions. The costumes are of the latest styles. The most striking features in the show are the models which are represented by Misses Lula Whimby, Antoinette Stelle, Tessie Mitchell, Little Jeff, Cleo Mitchell, and Theresa Brooks. These models showed the latest fashions. Mr. Quintard Miller is a very clever actor. His jokes are very catchy and laughable. As a whole, the entire company is up to date. The chorus is beautiful and the ladies are faultlessly costumed. ST. LUKE'S AT SHILOH. Sunday night E. B. Walker Council had as their guests a number of St. Luke's at Shiloh Baptist Church. Rev. J. Milton Waldron preached an excellent sermon to the order. This was an effort on the part of the St. Luke's to help Captain Ella B. Walker in a drive to pay off the indebtedness of the church. A neat sum was turned over to Mrs. Walker. Deputy M. M. Peace and Past Deputy Mrs. Julia M. Layton made forceful talks on the order, etc. SERVICES AT ARLINGTON. Last Sunday, for the first time colored Red Cross women in uniform officiated at the military services in National Cemetery at Arlington. Mrs. Julia Mason Layton, secretary of Harriet Tubman Branch, Red Cross; Mrs. Katie Jenkins, Mrs. Mitchell, Mr. and Mrs. Addison Syphax, Mr. Oxley of Community Service, accompanied Rev.E. W. D. Jones, of Union Wesley A. M. E. Z. Church, and paid the last tribute of respect to the twenty-six white and nine colored "overseas" boys whose bodies were consigned to mother earth. A flower was dropped on each grave and a tear of sympathy for these heroic men who made the great sacrifice for true democracy. Every Friday Mrs. Layton will leave Twelfth Street Station for Arlington, accompanied by Red Cross Volunteers in uniform. Flowers and contributions for flowers, and for luncheon for the loved ones who come from the States to see their own busied is solicited by Mrs. Layton. Help this worthy and honored cause. ANACOSTIA NEWS. The Queen's Rally and Pageant held on Tuesday night at the Birney School netted a neat sum of money for hte benefit of the C. M. E. Church, of which Rev. J. E. Scott is pastor. Much of the success of the affair is due to the trying efforts of Miss Lula Solomon, who staged the show. *** William Henry Davis, who for many years worked for the Singer Sewing Machine Company as machinist and repair man; is critically ill at his home on Elvans road. *** Will Greenfield; of Nichols avenue, is on leave for fifteen days from the National Bank Redemption Bureau of the U. S. Treasury, where he is employed as a messenger. [Image of a man in a suit with a tie, standing in front of a building with a large window. The background is a grayscale image with a blurred effect.

VERSITY UNIVERSITY 25. 1920 MOVED. THE AMERICAN NEGRO. A Summary of His Remarkable Progress and Present Condition. In an address before the United States Senate last May, Senator Spencer, of Missouri, brought together a large amount of information concerning the Negroes in this country, information that should be in the possession of every American citizen. We give here the substance of it: give here Our country contains about 12,000,000 Negroes—an essential and important part of our population. Since they obtained their freedom from slavery they have acquired property worth more than $1,000,000,000. They have acquired lands exceeding 21,000,000 acres—an area greater than the entire State of South Carolina—and they cultivate as much more. In fact, they either own or rent about two-thirds of the cultivated land of the South. The Russian serfs during the first fifty years of their freedom, accumulated about $36 apiece, an aggregate of about half a billion dollars. During the first fifty years of their freedom the American Negroes saved nearly double that sum, or $70 apiece, an aggregate of $700,000,000. A large part of the savings of the Negro is in lands and houses. The census of 1910 shows that the Negroes then owned 506,590 homes about half of them in the city and half of them farmhouses. Doubtless, now at least 600,000 homes are owned by Negroes. Negroes are successful in business. They have established more than 50,000 prosperous business enterprises. They own 100 insurance companies. They own and conduct banks with a capitalization of nearly $2,000,000 and annual business of $20,000,000. In 1910 there were 29,727 Negro teachers. Three hundred counties are employing Negro industrial teachers. Today there are more than 40,000 Negro teachers presiding over schools in which 2,000,000 Negro children are enrolled. As to church work, there are 34,962 Negro ministers, and out of their poverty the Negroes have put $68,000,000 into church buildings. Negro physicians and surgeons numbered 3,400 in 1910; Negro dentists, 478; and there were 7,056 in other professions. The Negro is not lacking in inventive power, and more than a thousand patents have been issued to him. He is not lacking in literary power, but edits and publishes 500 newspapers and other-periodicals. He is patriotic. The Negroes gave $225,000,000 for Liberty Bonds and for war work activities. Two Negroes were the first soldiers of the American Army to be decorated for bravery during the World War, and four entire Negro regiments received the Croix de Guerre for heroism in action. In addition, about 400 individual Negroes received medals of honor for bravery. It is a most striking fact that 74.60 per cent of the Negroes examined for the draft, were accepted, and only 69.71 per cent of the whites. Altogether, the showing made by the American Negro is most creditable and encouraging. Money spent upon the education and development of this race is well spent, and much more of our money should be spent in this way than is now given.-The Christian Endeavor World, September 23, 1920.

Dear Sir: I wish you would call attention to the patriotic societies of color in the District—such as the G. A. R. the American Legion, the Red Cross and citizens in general—that every Friday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock colored soldiers who lost their lives overseas are being interred at Arlington National Cemetery. But few of our race attend. However, the whites are there in large numbers. To date over a thousand have been buried there since July. The Union Wesley Church and pastor have been co-operating with Mrs. Christina Syphax, of Arlington, in bringing flowers and giving other services for the past four weeks, but this is a duty that belongs to the whole people. Often Mrs. Syphax has been the sole attendant at these obsequies. Citizens of Washington, please come and bring flowers. The white Red Cross wear their regular uniform. A representation from the colored legion was out last Friday, and it is to be hoped that they will go again. We do not know how long these burials will continue, but let us do our share to our honored boys as long as one remains to be buried in his native soil. E. D. W. JONES, Pastor of Union Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church. TOLLIVER THOMPSON DEAD. (Special to The Bee.) Bethel, Kans.—Tolliver Thompson, one of the pioneers of Eastern Kansas and a veteran of the Civil War, died here recently. Mr. Thompson was born in Orange county, Virginia, in 1836, and was 84 years of age at the time of his death. He had done much for the advancement of the race among those with whom he lived and worked. His widow and two daughters, Mrs. Evelyn Palmer, of Leavenworth, and Mrs. Frances Moss, of Boston, Mass, survive; also two brothers, Joseph and Robert W. Thompson, a Government employee both of Washington, D. C. A New Group of Race Leaders. The incorporation last week of the Prudential Bank, a commercial and savings institution with a capitalization of $100,000, and the incorporation of the Standard Investment and Development Company for $150,000 gave the members of our group in the District of Columbia a total of nineteen recently organized corporations with an aggregate capitalization of $2,880,000. Included in this list is a hotel and apartment house proposition, two banks; a broom factory, two building and loan associations, a farming and merchandise company, a housing corporation, a life insurance company, a theatre corporation, a commercial company owning valuable property, an investment and development company that recently purchased eight stores for $120,000 in the busiest part of the up-town section, a suburban pleasure park association, a motion picture corporation, several realty corporations whose recent purchases of large and centrally located apartment houses have greatly relieved the housing situation among our group, and several co-operative organizations that are conservatively investing the money received from the sale of stock to members of the race. The great change among our people in the city of Washington will startle the politicians and officeholders who will come into their own with the new administration, and unless they come here with something on their minds more important than the story of David's sojourn in the land of the Philistines, a scientific knowledge of how to win applause, or highbrow information on such subjects as the increase and diffusion of knowledge in regard to the nature and properties of atmospheric air in connection with the welfare of man, etc., their presence will be unnoticed in this community, unless, of course, their bank rolls permit them to become identified with some of the numerous business concerns. That day has passed when a Register of the Treasury, a Recorder of Deeds or a Minister to Dahomey can impress the busy Washingtonian with his importance, and it is hoped that the new administration will bring with it a few colored men of affairs, rather than a bunch of pompous phrase makers. The business element would like to see one of our race appointed to a position in the United States Treasury, whether as Register or something else, that would fit him for the management of a big trust company or a surety bonding company upon his retirement from office. They want to see appointed a live-wire man who will make a connection, while in office, with the big financiers of the country and bring to the race the results of his contact, study and experience. The producers are tired of seeing big jobs that could, and should, be turned into assets for the entire race thrown away on little men who do not realize the value of their op- LET ME HELP YOU LET ME HELP YOU My work is free to you.

(?) faker went before the campaign committee and endeavored to have the committee repudiate The Bee, on the ground that he (the faker) had a circulation of thirty thousand. This faker and his representations is an attack on The Bee, but of no avail. When the editor of the New York Age, ex-collector of the port of New York, Assistant U. S. Attorney J. A. Cobb and J. F. Colladay, the national committeeman for the District of Columbia, defended The Bee, the faker, whose picture appears in his own paper from time to time with a write-up on himself, got it in the neck. The Bee stands on its own merit, and it lives by the abuse and attacks of fakers. The Bee does not have to write up minutes and desecrate the Sabbath by selling them in the churches. The Bee does not attempt to make statesmen out of scavengers, bankers out of crap-shooters, or editors out of fishmongers. The Bee has always stood on its merits and has braved storms and lightning. It is today the leading journal in the United States, with a bona fide and not a fake circulation. The Bee will deposit $50 in the hands of any reputable citizen, if any of its competitors can show a bona fide subscription list of 1,000—Odd Fellows Journal not included in this offer That journal has a bona fide circulation. Whenever a faker tells you that he has a bona fide circulation of 30,000, tell him that you will be satisfied to see his subscription list; and if it contains 1,000 bona fide subscribers The Bee will forfeit $50. This offer holds good for thirty days. The Bee wants a bona fide subscription list, and not a list of persons who are now reading the paper without pay. PROSPERITY Some people cannot stand prosperity, and when they have succeeded very often they acquire a different way; in fact, they raise so high they even forget their manners. We have often seen the business man change when he has moved from his humble little office to one of luxury. He becomes an entirely different man. He wants his fellow friend who has always called him "Billy" or "Tom" to call him "Mister," and it is as hard to approach him as it is the President of the United States. Prosperity should only change our pocketbooks, but not our attitude toward our friends and patrons. BREEZY NOTES Pray, but don't stay on your knees too long.

Cunningham, Asst. Clerk. HOTEL NEWS. By R: DeReef Miller. Washington is planning one of the greatest Thanksgiving seasons of the age. The hotel and restaurant men are planning to have more turkeys consumed this year than any previous year. The big football game between Lincoln and Howard on Thanksgiving Day will be a national event, and the city of Washington is ready to receive all comers, to greet the strangers with unusual hospitality. The colored press of the city will keep the very best staff men on the job to watch for the colored profiteers that might start an increase on their menu, their rooms, etc.. that has caused a general complaint of the colored traveling public attending recent conventions and athletic meets in other cities. The Tremont Pleasure Club has completed plans for its sixteenth annual matinee and reception at the Odd Fellows' Hall on M street Thanksgiving Day. Every member of the club is a jolly good fellow. The Crushers are planning to have Doc Perry break all jazz band records at the Coliseum on the same night, and countless other amusements will be in full swing in different sections of the city. During the morning hours the local churches of all denominations have arranged for special services on Thanksgiving Day. "On to New York" is the slogan of the Chanticleers, Washington's popular social club which recently gave its fall reception at the Coliseum to a record-breaking crowd, with their usual success. December 2 is the date of the big New York reception at the New Star Casino, 107th street and Lexington avenue. According to the officials of the "Rooster Club," plans have been completed to take many of their Washington friends and well-wishers on the "Chanticleer Special" which leaves the Union Station here at midnight December 1. It is the desire of the club to hold this New York reception at the request of their many patrons who are now living in Harlem and with the co-operation of the Leech Association. If you cannot attend, write your friends in New York City to be present at the New Star Casino on December 2. Mr. Thomas Smith, of Smith's Hotel, Baltimore, was over to attend the recent musical success, "My Friend From Kentucky," at the Howard Theatre, and the Morning Star Lodge of Elks on Ladies Night. Mr. Lewis Thomas, one of Washington's "jazz kings" and business promoters, recently bought the business of the Goodloe Brothers, a fashionable restaurant on Florida avenue near Sixth street. Mr. Thomas is expecting to open an up-town "Pekin," with plenty of jazz and Oriental dishes. Our good friend Al. Howe is doing a wonderful business at the "Poodle Dog." It is the last word in Oriental service for colored patrons. *** The ballroom of the New Whitelaw Hotel at Thirteenth and T streets has been engaged for the formal dance of the Royal League. Club on December 2 HOWARD-TRIMS HAMPTON. In the annual gridiron affray between Howard and Hampton on November 13, 1920, the former took the measure, the scalp and the goal of the latter before a great throng of followers of both teams. The score, 18 to 0, although one sided as it is, fails to register accurately the extent of Howard's superiority. The locals were not forced to uncover anything, and Howard's second team was equal to the task of checking any effort of Hampton's. In only one department did the losers show class, and that was the kicking of Temple, Hampton's quarterback. It was his efforts that kept the score from being greater. His kicks, however, were often run back for 20 and 30 yards by Keene, the winners' diminutive substitute quarterback, whose offensive work and generalship most likely won him a regular place in the backfield for Thanksgiving. Payne, the locals' human catapault at fullback, scored two touchdowns, and time and again reeled off large gains through the Hampton line. Ridgely, the star back of the visitors, was unable to get going. Due to Keene's good work, Carter, Howard's star quarterback, was not missed. Coach Moran did not want to take any chances with his injuries preventing him from starting the Thanksgiving Day game. Coach Pollard was down to look Howard over, but we fear all he learned was that Coach Morris has gotten together a mighty machine, and for Lincoln to conquer Thanksgiving will be no easy task. In ten years of lamping we have seen few teams any better coached defensively than Howard, while the offensive side is well fortified. MUSICAL NOTES. Watch for the Pan-Americans' breakfast dance at the Pythian Temple, featuring Doc Perry and his wonderful jazzers. *** Duke Ellington's Orchestra will render the melodies for the breakfast prom at the Central Coliseum in honor of the Lincoln boys. *** Every orchestra will be busy all day Thanksgiving.

The Bee—Franklin 5992 Chase's Law Office—Main 4078 TO QUIT OR NOT The main reasons why the Ku-Klux should disband and quit are these: First: From the standpoint of its an organized menace to the public political crimes and because of political morality. There is no serious intention. Second: From the standpoint of civil doing this so-called Democratic further power as a national instrument that direction it may continue to act. Third: There is serious need in a opposition political party with avowal of the establishing of such a party with the continuance of the present Ku-Kluxanner "Democratic." Now come some of the Southern courage any movement, either to change one leader: "These reorganize out." Says another: "The party is all right, and James M. C.

It must be distinctly understood that party, South or North, have no primary support in turn nearly every prominent in the country since the time. But while the Southern contingent for reorganization, how about the Nor Democrats" want results; they want hands into the public treasury, and honors. It remains to be seen when they are thoroughly disgusted with their so. It must not be forgotten that the Republican party, sagacious and crafty Klux (Democratic) party continues to have to oppose only such institution in national elections—a party in husband. It pleases some Republican courage the Ku-Kluxers to continue. This country must not be at the vantage party. There are great priority attention. TO QUIT OR NOT TO QUIT. For reasons why the Ku-Klux (pseudo Democrat) and quit are these: From the standpoint of the whole Republic, need menace to the public morals, because of real crimes and because it inculcates perniciousity. There is no serious question about it. From the standpoint of its leaders and because this so-called Democratic party seems to be as a national instrument of misrule, which it may continue to afford in the Ku-Klux there is serious need in this country of a political party with avowed and worthy reeling of such a party will be hindered and face of the present Ku-Klux party, sailing Democratic." Some of the Southern leaders of this party movement either to change its name or to move under: "These reorganizers should keep the other: "The party needs no reorganized right, and James M. Cox is its leader." Excuses are no doubt in earnest. They are 150 Congressmen from the South who hold Congress through the instrumentality of so long as that party remains intact and democratic" they are reasonably assured of regress, even though their party may fail. It are not primarily interested to see their situation. In fact, most of them would rather often win in a national election. It is not best to continue to control the State and county Southern seats in Congress, which is a futuristic facilitated by the bogus name "Democracy" to affiliate with a national party of that nation, the purposes of these Southern officehouses to win national elections, for they canation" and rally the ignorant "crackers". Distinctly understood that the leaders of the Northern, have no principles. In order to find in turn nearly every political doctrine true the country since the time of Horace Greeck the Southern contingent of the Ku-Kluxion, how about the Northern wing? They want results; they want offices; they want the public treasury, and naturally they want remains to be seen whether the time has thoroughly disgusted with their Southern "party." It be forgotten that there is a certain election, sagacious and crafty men, who preach (democratic) party continue in existence. It have to oppose only such a weak and discreet elections—a party too weak to win and releases some Republicans of this type to Ku-Kluxers to continue in the ring.

C., NOVEMBER 20, 1920. The main reasons why the Ku-Klux (pseudo Democratic) party should disband and quit are these: First: From the standpoint of the whole Republic that party is an organized menace to the public morals, because it practices grave political crimes and because it inculcates pernicious ideals of political morality. There is no serious question about this proposition. Second: From the standpoint of its leaders and beneficiaries in evil doing this so-called Democratic party seems to promise no further power as a national instrument of misrule, whatever utility in that direction it may continue to afford in the Ku-Klux States. Third: There is serious need in this country of a decent major opposition political party with avowed and worthy real principles. The establishing of such a party will be hindered and delayed by the continuance of the present Ku-Klux party, sailing under the banner "Democratic." Now come some of the Southern leaders of this party and discourage any movement either to change its name or to reorganize it. Says one leader: "These reorganizers should keep their mouths shut." Says another: "The party needs no reorganization; the party is all right, and James M. Cox is its leader." Both these Southern spokesmen are no doubt in earnest. They are the type of some nearly 150 Congressmen from the South who hope to retain their seats in Congress through the instrumentality of the Ku-Klux party; and so long as that party remains intact and goes by the name "Democratic" they are reasonably assured of retaining their seats in Congress, even though their party may fail in national elections. These men are not primarily interested to see their party win a national election. In fact, most of them would rather that their party did not often win in a national election. It is more to their personal interest to continue to control the State and county political rings and the Southern seats in Congress, which is a lucrative business. This is facilitated by the bogus name "Democratic" which enables them to affiliate with a national party of that name. Moreover, it helps the purposes of these Southern officeholders for a Northern party to win national elections, for they can better cry "Negro domination" and rally the ignorant "crackers" to the Ku-Klux standard. It must be distinctly understood that the leaders of the Ku-Klux party, South or North, have no principles. In order to win, they have supported in turn nearly every political doctrine trat has been prominent in the country since the time of Horace Greeley. But while the Southern contingent of the Ku-Klux party want no reorganization, how about the Northern wing? These Northern "Democrats" want results; they want offices; they want to dip their hands into the public treasury, and naturally they want political honors. It remains to be seen whether the time has come when they are thoroughly disgusted with their Southern "partners." It looks so. It must not be forgotten that there is a certain element in the Republican party, sagacious and crafty men, who prefer that the Ku-Klux (Democratic) party continue in existence. It suits their purposes to have to oppose only such a weak and discredited organization in national elections—a party too weak to win and too big to disband. It pleases some Republicans of this type to flatter and encourage the Ku-Kluxers to continue in the ring. This country must not be at the mercy of mere politicians of whatever party. There are great principles at stake that demand early attention. The Ku-Klux party ought to quit. CITIZENS OR SLAVES? That is the question. Are we citizens when we are wanted in war, and when it.

If we have a Constitution, it should be enforced. Will Congress permit the new amendment to the Constitution to be violated? If not, what action will Congress take relative to the thousands of colored women who were not permitted to vote in the South after the passage and adoption of the Nineteenth Amendment. There are more political hypocrites in this country than exist in any other county upon the globe. Speaking about Christian hypocrisy, more sin is committed in the name of Christianity and by so-called Christians than can be found in the devil's book of shame. Christianity in the United States is a mockery. Churchgoing is a sham. Are we citizens or slaves? That is the question. And is the world to be governed by sinners, hypocrites and barbarians? In a speech, excerpts of which may be seen in this issue of The Bee, Dr. R. R. Moton declared that the white people in the South are friendly to colored Americans and that they are doing all they can—that is, some of them—to bring harmony among the two races. The Bee is aware that many white people in the South are kindly disposed toward the colored people, and there are thousands against them. It was a few days ago when what is styled the best element of white people in Georgia gave notice to a successful colored physician to take up his "duds" and quit the town, as he was causing race prejudice. The race prejudice consisted of the successful practice of this colored physician among his own people. The colored people in this town employed their own physician, which caused the white physicians to give this colored physician notice to leave the place. The colored physician was given five days to leave. He is now in Chicago. If Dr. Moton will just keep his mouth closed and cease apologizing for Southern "crackers," he will do the colored race a service. The colored man must protect himself, which is his only salvation. THE COLORED BAR It must be admitted that there are several members of the local bar who have made good and stand ace-high in the legal profession. Among the coming men at the bar are the following: John H. Wilson, who is steadily rising in the legal profession. He is a fine examiner and a forceful pleader. Thomas L. Jones is no doubt one of the brightest lawyers at the bar. He lives by his profession alone. He is respected by both white and colored. Attorney Jones is one of the most liberal and dignified members of he bar. He is a good criminal lawyer. W. C. Martin is a good civil lawyer and pension attorney. He is quite dignified and forceful. Fountain Peyton is not only a good criminal lawyer, but is very successful in civil practice. He is quiet and unassuming. He is a deep thinker and a good writer. L. M. King is a very reserved mem- A. B. ber of the bar and a good civil lawyer, C. L. and Harry Tignor are hus- P. A. tlers. The latter is active and very THE WORLD'S FIRST WOMAN to date. His practice is mostly civil. Joseph H. Stewart is a fine civil lawyer. He is one of the few who defend their own cases without the assistance of outsiders. Mr. Hubert, although very quiet, is a successful member of the bar. He slowly but surely is rising in the legal profession. Perry W. Hinley is one of the hardshrewd. The former is quiet and active. The former's success is with civil cases and the latter is good in criminal cases. Royal Hughes is not only a good criminal lawyer, but a good civil lawyer also. He is the president of the Colored Bar Association. A. W. Gray is the Adonis of the local bar. His office rooms are up est-worked lawyers of the bar and no doubt one of the best civil pleaders. E. M. Hewlett is a conscientious member of the bar and one of the most determined. He is manly and does not bite his tongue. W. L. Houston is coming to the front. During the past year he has been handling some very large cases. J. M. Ricks does not make much noise, but he knows how to get a fee. His practice is mostly criminal. B. J. Gaskins is a most brilliant pleader. He is a good civil lawyer and a fine student. He is the lawyer who reversed the Juvenile Court in one of the most celebrated cases that was ever brought up in that court. A PRETTY BIRTHDAY PARTY. Thirty-seven juveniles, gayly attired, met at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Winston, 509 Fortyninth street northeast, last Saturday to celebrate the twelfth anniversary of their daughter, Elizabeth Allen. From 4:30 to 8 the youthful guests romped and danced from room to room, engaging in the various frivolities that go with such an occasion. The parlor, which was brilliantly illuminated, showered a pleasing effectiveness upon the beautiful costumes, and it can be safely said without hesitation that the event was one of taste and refinement. Refreshments were served promptly at 7 o'clock, and this part of the ceremony, like the rest, was highly acceptable. The hostess received several useful and costly presents, the erstwhile appreciation of those who came to share the hospitality. GEORGETOWN NEWS.

SHEPARD, DURHAM, NORTH CAROLINA PUBLIC MEN AND THINGS. By the Sage of the Potomac. Quietly seated in my sanctum today—Sunday morning—I was thinking of the coming Thanksgiving and how the colored brother has suffered. I was thinking of the many promises made the colored voters prior to presidential elections and the many declarations made by Republican Presidents. I was thinking how the late President McKinley went South and the "crackers" hung upon the lapel of his coat and how quickly he changed on his return North. I was thinking of Billie Taft's visit South, and after his return he declared that no man in the South would be appointed to office who was objectionable to the people. Of course, we all know that his reference was to the faithful black allies. I was thinking of the declaration made by the late President Roosevelt, during the first term of his administration, that the door of hope should be opened, to the colored man, and then I was thinking how quickly it closed under his second administration. I wondered to myself on that beautiful Sunday morning, while President-elect Harding was way down in Texas—a modern hell, so far as the colored Americans are concerned—whether history would repeat itself. The President-elect has declared that there should be no North, no South, no East, no West. Many think that he is referring to the white people alone. There is one thing certain—the colored Americans have decided to give the Republican party one more probationary term, and no more. "Sink or swim; survive or perish," he will be for colored American independence in 1924. It is no so much of office that the colored American wants as it is for his civil and political independence. The Southern colored politician will invade the city after March 4 and tell the President how he carried the election and what influence he exercised in the North. The voteless South will want everything, while the colored Northern voter will, in all probability, get it in the neck. Of course, Link Johnson will return South and tell the Georgia "crackers" what he knows about them. It slipped his memory during the campaign, or maybe he was too busy knocking other people to fulfill his promised Southern engagement. Link would rather be Minister to "Dehomey" than return to Georgia. The political atmosphere would be more congenial to his system than the surroundings of the State, of Georgia. The Georgia "cracker" never forgets; he is more like an elephant than any other animal. A local contemporary, in speaking of the black Cabinet a few weeks ago, named himself for one of the most responsible positions under the next administration. I understand that a new portfolio will be named, and it is For further information and Catalog, address thought he would be placed at the head of that department, namely, the "Department of Liars and Four-flushers." This department will have a larger patronage than all of the departments combined. The reason why that is, there will be more "liars and four-flushers" to provide for than places in all of the executive offices combined. Speaking about liars, I would rather hear this secretary relate his power and what he has done than receive a commission to the Court of St. James. Notwithstanding he is a jolly good fellow, with it all, he reminds me more of the late Ed. Cooper than any journalist in this country. The more Ed. Cooper convinced his patrons that he had a hundred thousand circulation, the more victims would enter his trap. Ed. knew the game. His last great game was a stock organization, for which many fell—swallowed his bait and hook. The old stock is still drawing interest from the immortal air. This is a town where anything goes. If there was a stock company organized to utilize the sun and moon and guaranteed to give you free light and coal, "sucker Washington" would take all the shares on the market at fifty per. You need not worry about Washington. It is the place for fakers to succeed—in business, politics, religion and all lost arts. MISS JEANETTE RANKIN. Former Congresswoman From Montana Appointed Field Secretary of the National Consumers' League. Miss Jeanette Rankin, of Montana, widely known as the first woman to sit in the United States Congress, has been appointed field secretary of the National Consumers' League, of which Newton D. Baker is president and Mrs. Florence Kelley general secretary, according to an announcement made recently from the league's headquarters, in New York by John R. Shillady, executive director of the organization. Miss Rankin, it is announced, will devote herself to promoting legislation for the protection of wage-earning women and minors in the leading industrial States, particularly those which do not now have minimum wage commissions and the statutory eight-hour day for women workers, and where the laws do not prohibit women working at night. "Only thirteen States and the Dis- trict of Columbia," the announcement states, "have established minimum wage commissions or other means to protect women from working at wages below the minimum cost of living. Only eight States and the District of Columbia have an eight-hour day for women in one or more occupations; and in all but twelve States women are allowed to work all night, without restriction of any kind. Seventeen States permit employers to work women workers in all occupations 60 hours or more per week; five States have no legal limit; and one State permits a 16-hour working day for women."

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.

TRIANGLE PRINTING COMPANY 1109 EYE STREET N. W One glance at a political orator proves that all are not geysers that spout. The chief interest of the week seemed to center raound Armistice Day celebrations. Patriotic festivals, pageants and orations were the feature of a three-day celebration at the American League Baseball Park. There were entertainments at the Miner Normal School building by the James E. Walker Post. The largest meeting conducted by members of the race, however, was that given under the auspices of the National Memorial Association, held in the Vermont Avenue Baptist Church, where Hon. F. L. Siddons, justice of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, spoke in words of praise of the wonderful work of Abraham Lincoln, following that up with the plans of the National Memorial Association, which plans he indorsed. Justice Siddons said that he had sent for a copy of the proceedings of the congressional committee and remarked that such document should be in the hands not only of every colored American, but of every citizen, because of its historical worth. He urged his hearers to support the movement for a national memorial to Negroes to be erected in Washington, adding that monuments have been erected to leaders of every worthy movement, but that this is the first time a movement has been inaugurated where tribute would be paid to those in the ranks. A complimentary supper was tendered to 350 soldiers. Ferdinand D. Lee, president of the association, presided. Two young men of color, operating the "pocketbook game" here in the city during August last, were found guilty of grand larceny before Justice Bailey in the criminal division of the District Supreme Court. Joseph Washington, widely known as "Colorado Bill," in company with John Ellis, is alleged to have caused a colored woman to part with her life savings for a pocketbook which later proved to be stuffed with nothing but "stage money." The school system continues to come in for a share of gossip, several organizations seeming to take the part of the teachers who are compelled to remain on duty for the whole school-day period, five hours. Dr. John Hertzberg, a noted European educator and a school principal of Christinia, Norway, spent some time in the city inspecting the schools. Dr. Hertzberg says that Europeans have a great deal to learn from American institutions. Miss Edna Bushee, executive secretary of the Juvenile Protective Association, finds a large truancy list here and urges an intensive study into the causes of this problem. According to figures given out by the Bureau of the Census, there are in the District of Columbia 109,976 colored persons. The colored population constitutes 25.1 per cent of the total population; as against 28.5 per cent in 1910. During the week ended November 6, 1920, thirty-nine colored persons died and only thirty-six were born. The annual death rate for colored persons was given as 17.4 per cent. Mrs. Sadie Bronaugh. Nixon, of Philadelphia, is visiting her parents in Deanwood and will remain over for the Thanksgiving holiday. Miss Ella Lewis spent the week end in New York. Miss Margaret J. Swann has returned from Philadelphia and New York City, where she spent a few days. The Bureau of the Census has greatly reduced its working force; more than three hundred clerks having been dropped from the rolls the last three weeks. At one of the artist recitals at Poli's Theatre, Edgar Schofield, the celebrated baritone, scored a decided hit in singing "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot," arranged by Harry T. Burleigh, the distinguishe composer and singer. Mrs. Gabriella Pelham gave a most interesting talk at the John Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church on "The Early Life of Christ," which she illustrated with excellent stereoicon views. Mrs. Pelham is identified with community work in this city and has by her engaging manner and charming personality been able to do very effective work. An added part of the program were two dramatic readings, "The Last Hymn" and "The Builders," by Daniel W. Chase. Alonzo P. Smalls, who will be remembered because of his connection with the War Camp-Community Service, has set to music "I Want Yuh, Mah Honey," by Mrs. Annie Lawrence Lucas. The musical setting is said by critics to be very clever, and the composition has already had place on programs of prominent musicians. Mr. Smalls is now at Tuskegee Institute. COLORED AMERICANS WANT AN EQUAL CHANCE. Principal Moton, of Tuskegee, Declares in Address Before Colored Society of Virginia and the State Teachers' Association—Message to Citizens of Virginia—Organizations Pull Together. Hampton, Va., November 18. That the colored people in Virginia and elsewhere "want an equal chance with other Americans in the pursuit of life and happiness," was the plea of Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, made before the members of the Organization Society of Virginia (Allen Washington, Hampton Institute, president) and the Negro State Teachers' Association of Virginia (D. G. Jacox, Norfolk, president) at their Newport News joint meeting. Dr. Moton said: "The time is past, if indeed there ever was such a time, when we can assume that all white people, whether officials or private citizens, are unfriendly toward us. Such an attitude on our part toward them is as unjust as it is to charge the whole Negro race with being criminal. "There are a great many strong and influential white men and women in the South who are not only friendly toward the Negro, but who are now devoting much of their time and energy without reserve to see that the Negro receives justice and fair treatment." "South of the Mason and Dixon Line there are approximately thirty million white people and about nine million colored people, with comparatively few foreigners. With all of the background of the past as a guide, the two races that have been born and brought up together ought to be able to adjust relations in such a way as to bring to both races the largest measure of happiness and prosperity, along with the largest measure of usefulness and service to each other. I believe this can be done." Dr. Moton referred to the large share which the Negro Organization Society has had in blazing the way for important inter-racial co-operation and congratulated the officers of the society, including Maj. Allen Washington, its president, and Prof. John M. Gandy, executive secretary, "for keeping the organization on its even keel of progress and sanity." "The white people of the South," said Dr. Moton, "were never more ready and anxious to know what the Negro is thinking about, to know what is in the back of his head, than they are today. There never was a time when they read more widely from Negro periodicals than they do today. "What the Negro wants in Virginia and elsewhere is an equal chance with other Americans in the pursuit of life and its blessings.
